Episode 20

Did you have dinner?

I can't explain to you why I was there.

I just felt sad at the thought of not seeing you again.

Don't try to put it into words.

I think I know a little bit about you now.

So I'm thankful.

You came to my neighborhood, and looked up at my apartment.

I'm just thankful for that.

I'll be honest with you, Miss Jin-ah.

Eating cup noodles, and watching movies...

...I've never done that with a woman before.

Maybe I came to your apartment

because you showed me a world I'd never seen before.

Mister, can we do that for a little longer?

We can just eat cup noodles and watch movies together.

I won't get mad at you anymore.

I won't ask you questions.

Let's just stay the way we are.

That's okay, right?

That's heartbreaking.

A man should have one crazy love at least once in his life.

Says the adulterer.

I've met all kinds of people, but you're despicable.

Then get away from me and go home.

I'm reading.

But you said you'd read it already.

It's worth a re-read.

Who's that?

Mom?

Couldn't have been a guy.

What? Do you want to see me die?

- Hold on. - Where are you going?

Don't move around.

You know I gave you everything, even a loan!

And she did what? Is she out of her mind?

She goes to the horse races with that money?

Calm down.

You have fractures.

What?

She ''only'' blew $5000?

What's wrong with all of you?

Please let me live.

You're suffocating me!

Is something wrong with your family?

Friend.

It's okay to cry.

It's okay to cry out loud as much as you want.

Fool.

You're so stubborn.

- Tell me if it gets your eyes. - Okay.

Sorry. I didn't know you were here.

I'm washing Dong-dong's hair.

Do you need to use the restroom?

No, it's okay.

Grandma.

Yes?

The showerhead you bought is nice.

Thanks.

What?

What's wrong?

Dan-ah's washing Dong-dong's hair.

What about it?

lf it weren't for the accident,

she would've had a child of her own.

And she'd be washing her own kid's hair.

I feel terrible that she lost her chance at love

and at having her own child.

Dan-ah sure has a great mother.

- Professor Ha, see you next semester. - See you.

- Yes. - Yes.

You're not going to the party?

No.

I got excited for nothing.

You can go.

Let's go.

I want to see that smile you put on when you drink.

You do that when you drink.

Let's go.

I'll take a picture for you.

This is getting old.

- Is the semester finished? - Yes.

Then how do we show him that we're dating?

We'll find a way.

You can joke with a straight face.

Let's go.

Who's that guy?

He seems to be really intimate with her.

Who was that guy?

Did you get dumped?

Just leave.

Shouldn't we find a way?

You can't just let him steal her after all your work.

Go.

By the way...

Why's he so crazy about you?

Is that a stupid question?

Why does a man like a woman?

There's a reason for everything.

It's not like you're that beautiful or that sexy.

So you probably showed him an opportunity.

I did.

To make up for it, I'm putting on a show with you.

What could you have done?

What could it have been to lead you

to even deal with me to make up for it?

Maybe you do have some feelings for him.

That crazy punk!

Are you all right?

Are you okay?

I'm back at work.

I got scolded by my boss.

But I must've been a good employee

since he gave me another chance.

I worked a day at a convenience store,

but this job pays better, and we can do things

we've never done before together.

It's good to see me again, right?

It almost brings me to tears.

Liar.

I think I'll get a cup of coffee later.

When?

When's later?

I'll do it. I'll give it a go.

That's good.

Are you happy now?

What changed your mind?

Do you have liver cancer now?

It's true?

Would that make you happy?

Does Gangneung scare you that much?

Try my brother pouring me a drink.

Byung-do, I can't believe this.

Pinch me.

Not that hard.

I thought you hated the idea of a family documentary.

So I'll use this to prove how much I hate it.

Don't do anything drastic now.

This time, you'll get fired for sure.

I'll buy drinks with my severance pay.

You sure you can manage?

Yes.

Why not take today off?

Judging from what he said,

I guess he does know more about you than I do.

Your brother...

Does he really like her?

You'd know, right?

I think it's a show, but I'm worried.

My brother...

...can't love anyone.

He can't love anyone other than his family.

He's cruel to women.

Then is it a show, as I assumed?

This all started the day you collapsed because of me.

He's doing it for me, so don't give up.

He won't keep it up for long.

Just be patient.

Honey.

How was the interview?

I answered all the questions sincerely, but who knows?

Good job.

But I heard something strange.

The colleague who interviewed me thought it was strange

that we partnered with Chairman Lee.

How so?

He heard a rumor from his reporter.

What rumor?

That Myungseong's collapse was orchestrated by Chairman Lee.

So he looked into it,

but there was no body to the rumor.

Why would Chairman Lee help our company,

if he brought down Myungseong?

It doesn't make sense.

Chairman Lee brings down Myungseong,

but helps our company?

My colleague thinks it's a conspiracy theory.

But you said it was only a rumor.

But it does smell fishy.

Director Lee Gang-suk even persuaded the bank director,

so let's give the two of them the benefit of the doubt.

Okay, back to work.

Honey.

Don't tell anyone else,

especially not Soo-young or Tae-young.

Tae-young's not fond of Director Gang-suk,

so it would only make things worse.

I won't pass along false rumors to my children.

It's good to hear you say ''my children.''

I don't know about this.

I don't want to be an old mother with grown-up children.

It feels like we're dating.

Not that we really are...

Miss Jin-ah.

Don't expect too much from me.

Maybe I don't want to miss anything.

It could be that I'm greedy about trying new things.

I'm not expecting anything.

What can I do with someone like you?

It's not like we could date or get married.

Having tea together, eating cup noodles,

watching you from the backseat, I'm happy with that.

I'm...

worried I might be taking advantage of

someone as young and nice as you.

I just like spending time with you, but...

I won't get the wrong idea.

I won't. I promise.

Maybe liking people is a habit.

Although he was a jerk,

I liked the idea of having someone in my heart.

I needed to have something in life for me too.

I promise you.

I like you because you're nice.

But I won't fall in love with you.

I'll remind myself every day.

Since I won't love you,

I can spend time with you until you find someone, right?

Silly.

That would be so unfair for you.

Like I said, I won't love you.

So I won't say it's unfair.

What?

People will think we're psychos.

Scratch the losers' club. We'll go with the psychos' club.

Good grief...

So did you enroll in a taekwondo class?

Did something not work out?

Why the long face?

He enrolled, Mr. Chairman.

But Hyun-ji was in that class.

Is that why you look so depressed?

He went to the class after the payment,

but a girl yelled at him.

Why are you here, Dong-dong?!

That must've been Hyun-ji.

How unlucky!

Grandma, you should've checked which academy Hyun-ji attended.

Should I have called her parents and asked?

So what do you want to do? Do you want to quit?

I persuaded him not to do that.

He can't go to a different academy after he's paid the fee.

What a turn of events.

Why am I so unlucky?

Don't think like that.

Maybe you'll become friends with her.

What happened?

Hyun-ji tripped me.

Why does she pick on you so much?

I won't live too long with Hyun-ji around.

The word ''Dan-gol'' is derived from Dan-gun.

Wait a minute.

So Dan-gun was a shaman?

You're still not finished?

It's okay to have an exorcism.

What?

Dan-gun was a shaman too.

So historically, an exorcism is okay.

We need to do away with our scrap-collecting ghost!

Sorry to interrupt,

but what I meant was the historical meaning...

Exactly!

An exorcism isn't bad, right?

Hello?

She can be a ditz sometimes, so don't mind her.

Is that right?

Is she finished?

Then we'll make time.

Okay, Mr. Choi.

Tell me when the date's set.

Gang-suk.

Yes?

You know the female editor I talked about?

Yes.

She's going on a business trip next month,

so she wants to meet you before that.

You said you'd consider her.

Meet her when the date's set.

Sure.

This is ticking me off.

Didn't you say you'd put on a good show?

You're not trying hard enough.

Is this what you meant when you said you'd repent?

What brought this on?

What do you think?

I don't know.

What did I do earlier?

- You were driving. - It's not funny.

I'm set to go on an arranged meeting.

So?

What are we?

- Acquaintances. - It's not funny!

We're officially a couple. Are we not?

We are.

And you're not bothered by your boyfriend's arranged meeting?

You're not repentant.

What should I have done?

We're not trying to fool your parents.

But at least pretend to be irritated.

What happened to the reaction when I hit the brakes?

You don't care if your boyfriend goes on a date or not?

Sorry, I need more practice.

You should've at least hit me

and thrown a fit after the lesson.

More?

There's no feeling.

lf I hit you like I meant it, you'd be hospitalized.

Then let's go work on our feelings.

What's this?

We're friends, right?

I can't sit around and do nothing when you're in pain.

I'm too nice of a guy.

It's not free.

Pay me back with interest.

What's the interest rate nowadays?

I don't need your pity!

Nah Mal-soon.

Ha Tae-young,

I don't need someone like you to pity me!

You wench!

You punk!

I didn't ask you for money!

Are you trying to show off?

Are you that rich? $5000 is nothing to you?

What's your problem?

I gave my ex-wife everything I owned as a settlement.

Then why are you showing off?

I'm showing off?

I'm giving you everything I have left.

Why don't you keep it for yourself?

What's wrong with you?

You can't accept someone's sincerity?

Does it hurt a lot?

Don't egg someone on like that.

It's been a while since I had a friend, punk.

Mind your manners.

I delivered newspapers when I was a student.

I didn't have anytime to make friends.

After I became a cop,

I was too busy chasing thugs to make friends.

Maybe you just have a crappy personality.

I finally made a friend.

But if I start off by borrowing money from you,

how do you think I'd feel, you idiot?

I said mind your manners, you over-worrying wench.

You're only making me seem pathetic by doing this.

You don't consider me a friend, do you?

What's ''pathetic'' between friends?

This is unexpectedly good.

Is this the first time you've eaten this?

Yes.

What planet are you from?

I can't tell an earthling my secret.

Answer it.

I don't have to.

Who is it?

Nobody.

It's still ringing.

Who could it be...

Monthly or daily?

What's the difference?

You either pay back $10 a day or $300 a month.

I can only pay you $150 a month.

What about your monthly pay?

I have debts from other loans.

I'll pay more if I get a bonus.

Okay?

Don't be particular when you're borrowing money.

Too late.

$150 a month, take it or leave it.

You've changed the terms completely!

You're the one who came with money!

Fine, $150 a month it is.

With no interest.

That's ridiculous! I have to eat too.

You can't charge your friends interest.

Don't steal money from a friend.

Maybe I'll run away with the money.

Improving your singing is too hard.

Let's approach this in a different way.

How?

With dancing.

Sorry?

Let's do this.

The lyrics are inappropriate.

''I don't know his name,

but in the arms of a stranger...''

Don't look down on old songs.

I'm not,

but I can't sing this in front of my students.

A bad singer shouldn't be so picky!

That song's perfect for you.

But still...

Don't be picky!

Stop scolding me!

I'm supposed to be your boyfriend.

Move your body like this.

Wave your hands like this.

Make a question mark.

I don't know his name,

but in the arms of a stranger...

Your turn.

I don't want to.

I don't know his name...

Shake it.

But in the arms of a stranger...

Under the light, under the red light...

The innocence of the dancer...

You wouldn't know.

I can't believe you sang this song.

I quit!

No, it's a good song.

Let's practice, and sweep everyone off their feet.

- Make a question mark. - I don't know his name...

Shake it.

But in the arms of a stranger...

Under the light, under the red light...

The innocence of the dancer...

You wouldn't know.

You're late.

Yes.

What's this?

Fish bean-jam bun.

I thought it tasted good. So I brought some for you.

You actually ate this on the street?

Yes.

Surprised?

I can't picture you eating this on the street.

I'm trying new things in life.

Good night.

What planet are you from?

When will you come home?

Leave.

After this volume.

I'll be a few days. Keep the door locked.

It's not like you have any valuables.

Don't work too hard.

I'm worried about your health.

Okay, goodbye.

Why are you calling me?

I have nothing to say to you.

Are you crazy? Why should I meet you?

Are you drunk?

Just go home, and don't bother me again.

Crazy punk...

Why are you here again?

I was hoping you'd come to the party, but you didn't.

I don't care for this show,

but you should've at least showed up.

You should accept it by now.

I understand how you feel, but you look pretty pathetic.

Cruel to women, aren't you?

That's what your sister said.

Why do you think she said that?

I understand you love your sister,

but don't resort to such pathetic tricks.

You're so stubborn.

I'm sorry about your feelings,

but the same feelings drove me here.

Go inside. It's cold.

Drive safely.

Let's talk.

- I have nothing to say. - But I do.

I don't want him to see this.

A man should admit defeat

before he makes a fool out of himself.

I told her I'd wait for four years.

I've loved her for four years,

so I'll wait another four years.

I could kick your butt right now if I wanted to.

That's nothing. But I won't.

Do you know why?

I promised myself the day Hye-joo opened up,

that I'll let you slide even if you acted up.

Or maybe you're just scared of me.

Scared that I might fight you to the death.

lf I were scared of you,

I wouldn't have started with her.

Listen up.

lf you're using her for your sister...

...and just toying with her...

...I'll kill you.

Sorry, Jin-ha.

I can't see your face today.

I don't know why.

I just can't see you today.

You recorded the show? You're obsessed.

What took you so long?

I worked out.

Mr. Choi asked for tomorrow.

They looked at your picture, and they want to rush it.

Is tomorrow okay?

I can't.

You have work?

Yes.

Then when?

She's going to France next week.

That's fine.

You said you'd meet her.

It turned me off because they want to rush things.

Women should play hard to get.

Right, Father?

You and your drama!

Shouldn't women play hard to get?

Enough said!

Girls who don't play hard to get are boring.

See? I'm going to my room.

Gang-suk! I already told them yes!

Why doesn't he want to meet her?

Think of what you said.

Stop being so ditzy!

You weren't sleeping?

Is it fun?

Getting in the way of his love?

You're being weird.

I always have been.

Despite how I feel, you should be happy

that I took Ha Dan-ah away from him.

How do you feel?

You can't answer me.

I will love her.

Is that okay?

You have to confirm it?

Fine, let's hear your definition of love.

lf I took her away from that guy,

then you should be happy.

I'm happy when he smiles.

He doesn't have to do anything for me.

I never expected that.

I liked that he was happy around Professor Ha.

I liked when he hung out happily with his friends.

But he stopped smiling recently because of you.

So for the first time in my life, I hate you.

I'm also happy when she smiles.

So for the first time,

I'm actually afraid.

You're such a weirdo.

How can you sleep listening to this?

Grandma, I think this is better!

Right...

How about a tree this size?

Maybe it's a little too big.

Grandma, we need these sparkling lights.

Right...

Grandma, are we buying Rudolph?

Right...

Dong-dong...

Yes, Grandma.

Would you not call me ''Grandma'' in public?

What do I call you then? You're my grandma...

How about ''ma'am''?

I don't think I'm old enough to be called a grandma.

I need to use the restroom.

Again?

I'm pregnant.

Is that why?

Don't ask me.

Ma'am!

We need to buy Santa!

Right.

Do I keep calling you ''ma'am,'' Grandma?

You really bought one! It looks nice.

Where do I put this, ma'am?

Ma'am?

Dong-dong, you can call me ''Grandma'' here.

But you told me to call you ''ma'am'' earlier.

You told him to do that?

Why'd you do that, Mother?

First, you say I can't call you ''Mother.''

Then you force a poor child to not call you ''Grandmother?''

It was only in public.

Please face reality, Mother.

You're violating the ties that bind the family.

Go bring some oxtail soup to the site.

You're visiting the site today?

For the employees that...

I'm off!

Be careful.

Dan-ah, come pull out my gray hair!

She went to school.

I thought school was on a break?

Everyone seems busy, even on a Sunday.

Director Soo-young left for work too.

All three of them are busy trying to make ends meet.

Let's get out.

Are we here to win a stuffed animal?

Not sure if they have that here.

Then...

Wear this.

Is this why you told me to wear pants?

We have to work on our stamina.

He said he'd wait four years.

I guess young people have time...

We'll need stamina to keep this up for four years.

I don't need this.

Are you trying to freeze to death?

I can do without it.

I don't want it.

Just wear it for today.

I'm sure that man in a cold place will understand.

He wouldn't want his lover to freeze to death.

Come on.

This is great.

It was a special order. It's packed with meat.

Thanks.

You're the best.

Hey, friend!

You two are really friends now?

We are.

But this is really great.

What a strange turn of events.

See you later.

Thanks for the soup.

Drink to the last drop. See you.

Did you have lunch?

What if I didn't?

Then go eat. I won't give you this.

What's that?

What are you doing?

It's oxtail soup, so eat it.

I just had a meal.

What's the matter with you?

What?

You have no money, no loyalty,

and your personality is terrible!

It's true I'm poor, but what's the other two about?

Didn't I say I'd come about lunch time?

So?

That basically means I'd bring your lunch.

You should've just said so.

Do I have to explain everything to you?

Read between the lines?

I didn't know you meant to bring me lunch!

Eat it now.

I'm full.

This isn't your typical soup.

This broth was boiled for over 10 hours at my house.

I'll eat it later.

Eat it now.

Give me a break!

Choose between his soup and mine.

You're so childish!

If you want to prove your loyalty, eat it now.

Were you on the hiking team?

I wasn't.

That's good.

I have something to put you down about.

You're already teasing me about my singing skills.

I can do it myself.

Afraid to hold my hand?

Yes.

Why?

Do you get butterflies when you hold my hand?

I guess you do.

No, I shook your hand when we started this show.

Then why are you afraid to hold my hand?

You might enjoy physical contact.

Called me on a Sunday for cup noodles?

What a bothersome girl, is what you're thinking.

You read my mind.

I'll go buy some rice balls.

Can't eat cup noodles without rice balls.

Wait.

Special menu.

I can't guarantee the taste. But at least pretend it's good.

It's good.

Really?

I'm a perfect girl, but one flaw I have

is not seasoning food correctly.

Maybe I got lucky today.

Salty.

I pretended it was good, just as you asked.

The spinach is really salty.

But I seasoned it lightly.

I'll buy you a bottle.

Do you have debts?

Sorry?

Why are you not answering?

Some crazy person keeps calling.

Did you throw up?

You forced me to eat two full meals.

You look like the type who can eat more than that.

Maybe it's because I've been living on energy bars

and milk recently.

Why'd you do that?

To save money to support my darn family.

Do I sound pathetic?

Yes, and you do it with confidence.

Thanks.

But don't save on rice.

You have to be healthy

if you want to support your family.

Then you can repay your debts...

And pay you back?

You ruined the mood. I was being sincere.

- Ha Tae-young. - What?

I won't mention your adultery again.

Thanks for the oxtail soup.

You're tough.

I thought you'd give up halfway,

but you made it all the way up.

I'm fit myself, but this is no joke.

Sit down and get some rest.

What are you looking at?

Rejoicing in an epiphany?

Thank you.

I'd never thought I'd hike a mountain again.

10 years ago, I hiked a mountain

after I recovered from a serious condition.

I knew I could've died on the way up.

Maybe I wanted to die.

But I didn't.

At the peak, I thought to myself.

I have to climb back down and live on.

If I live on,

then that's my revenge against cruel God.

I should never climb a mountain.

Why put myself though all this trouble?

I should never take a difficult route in life.

What did you mean by ''thank you?''

I made you do something you didn't want to.

I shouldn't be so lazy.

Just living on isn't enough.

I have to live with all my effort.

Then my life will have meaning.

Let's climb down with all our effort.

Father, I think the men should carry their own tables.

Only one thing.

Don't believe a word this guy says.

Are you having second thoughts?

You don't want to give me the benefit of the doubt?

Sometimes I wish I were sincere.

You can at least give me a chance.

Every winter,

the scars on her shoulder and leg acts up.

Let's talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

I want you back.

Are you crazy?

Are you dating him?

I love him.

TO BE CONTINUED...
