Episode 39 - Mother, I'm leaving now.

Please be well.

I'm leaving, Father.

You're not coming back, are you?

You cruel brat.

Are you really leaving?

How can you be so cruel?

How can we live without you?

You're leaving us because of a girl?

I'm sorry, Mother.

Fine, you jerk.

I lost. Are you happy now?

Honey.

How can I let you go?

How can I live without seeing you?

That's enough.

Bring her here. Just bring her home.

Mother.

- You're such a cruel boy. - Beat him up all you want!

Didn't you say you were leaving today?

I have something to say, Grandfather.

Mother told me to bring her home.

What do you mean, Director Lee?

She gave you her permission to marry Dan-ah?

Yes.

You brought good news on a good day.

Let's go greet our guests.

Don't cry on such a good day.

But I'm so happy... that my sons have found great brides,

and that Dan-ah won't have to cry anymore.

Groom and Bride, bow.

Good luck, Mom!

Good...

Even though you're a tomboy,

did you have to fall on your butt before all the guests?

Don't be so mean. It's not like I wanted to.

I'm really worried about how you'll survive in our family.

- Be polite to her. - But she's so childish.

Hey.

- Miss Nah Mal-soon. - You're not on the phone.

Honey. Please, get a grip, okay?

He called me "honey." Gross.

- Look at her. - Don't make me hurt you.

- Soo-young. - Yes, Mal-soon.

Want to know his weak spot?

Don't do that before our honeymoon.

Mal-soon. Please show some manners.

Don't mind me. It's good to see you eat well.

- I haven't had breakfast. - Eat up.

- What? - Look at your brother.

You eat well without me babying you.

Fine.

Mal-soon. I'll teach him a lesson outside.

Would you please?

- That's enough already. - What's enough?

So disgusting.

Director Lee.

Shouldn't you go home for dinner?

Weren't you going to give me dinner?

Should I do that for such a troublemaker...

We've had a tough day, so we'd like to eat with our family.

You should consider me family now, Mother.

Not until the day you get married.

Should I leave as well?

No, she's just giving him a hard time.

Don't be so mean to him after he brought home good news.

Let him be. I've finally met a worthy opponent.

When did you learn baduk?

I learned it by reading a book during college.

You're not bad for a self-taught player.

Thank you.

Please prepare a meal for Director Lee

and Grandmother Joo-jeong's friend as well.

We were about to.

That Byung-do is such a bum.

Don't be so rude to him. You just never know.

What do you mean?

You never know how relationships work out.

Grandma. Don't make me swear on a good day.

What's Brother doing anyway?

Father and Director Lee are playing baduk.

The Chairman must be happy. He always has to play alone.

Director Lee's in for it. Brother's really competitive.

Why isn't Gang-suk home yet?

Give him some time.

They must be celebrating or something.

I think Professor Ha's really dumb.

Why do you say that?

She should've sent him home early to lighten my mood.

Doesn't she know I made a tough decision?

She already stole him from me.

Aunt will sock it to her when she marries in.

She's just saying.

Once she marries in, she'll treat her like one of the family.

Haven't you learned anything from watching those dramas?

There's always tension between the mother-in-law

and the daughter-in-law.

That's what gets the show going.

Just be quiet.

I'm going, Joo-jeong.

I wanted to wait for them to finish,

but it's not going to be anytime soon.

- Go on. - Goodbye.

Just how long is that baduk match?

Father, you should stop for today.

We have to settle this.

That's five games apiece, right?

Yes, Grandfather.

- Aren't you tired? - No.

Just let him go home, Brother.

- Do you want to? - Not at all.

Aren't you tired after the wedding?

I'm fine.

Director Lee.

My brother's really competitive, so just give in at some point.

Don't tell him to lose on purpose.

Please don't worry.

I won't be easy on him just because he's an elder.

And I couldn't lose if I wanted to.

That's good to hear.

- Aunt. - Yes.

- That mister scares me. - Why do you say that?

I saw flames in his eyes when he was playing baduk.

He's just like that.

Don't play baduk with him when you get married.

I won't. Good thing I don't know how to play baduk.

Are you leaving?

No, we're not done yet. I have to use the restroom.

When are you going to leave?

Not until we settle the score.

- Let him take the win. - That's ridiculous.

And why's that?

Grandfather would be upset if I lost on purpose.

So you should've taken it easy earlier.

I couldn't do that.

Come on. Pick your fights elsewhere.

What do you get out of playing baduk with flames in your eyes?

When did I do that?

Dong-dong told me you scared him.

He's exaggerating.

Just leave before I tell you to, or else.

Or else what?

I'll bring up the hotel incident again.

Drink.

You're not going to shower?

After I finish this.

You're going to drink on our first night?

I... You know...

- You know... - Yes.

I can't do it when I'm sober...

You know.

Know what?

Want to play a word game?

Okay.

- You start. - No, you start first.

Wedding.

Gown.

Now...

We should go to sleep.

- I'm embarrassed. - Yes.

Give me a moment.

I'll get some air. My face is burning.

- What are you doing? - Sorry?

Don't you know that's a bad move?

Is that right? I wasn't paying attention.

If you're trying to take it easy on me,

then this match is meaningless.

I agree, Grandfather.

That's how I feel, but she wants me to take it easy on you.

And I told her you'd be upset.

I'm sorry, Grandfather.

He gets overly competitive sometimes.

You can't finish the match today.

How about setting up another time?

What do you think?

I can go on as long as you can.

- Dan-ah. - Yes.

Bring some tea.

My brother didn't leave for the United States.

Mother gave him permission.

That's good news.

Are you going to go drink?

I'm not that foolish.

Because he was leaving, I didn't think I had a chance.

I know you're not like that.

But...

I figured you'd be lonely.

It's like an aftershock when something passes by.

I'll just think about it like that.

What's all that?

- Why are you out here? - I'm getting some air.

With your wife alone in your room?

And you?

She kicked me out to get more liquor

after she drank all there was in the room.

What?

You got butterflies on your first night with your young bride?

Hey.

Want something to drink? It'll give you courage.

Forget it. Go on in.

Mal-soon must be waiting for you.

How did I marry such a strange girl?

Mal-soon. Mal-soon! Open the door!

Mal-soon. Mal-soon!

I bought liquor like you told me to!

Mal-soon!

Are you asleep?

Mal-soon!

- You're locked out? - Yes.

Thank you.

Soo-young. Mal-soon's out cold.

- Have a great night. - How can you be so cruel?

Tae-young and Mal-soon drank everything in the room,

so Tae-young bought some more.

But Mal-soon fell asleep, and he's locked out.

I haven't seen such strange newlyweds.

Is it that embarrassing?

What should I do when you're so embarrassed?

Thank you for marrying a wimp like me.

You're a wimp, and that's exactly why I love you.

I think I have this match.

Then you have seven wins, and I'm one behind.

Let's start a new game.

Let's.

Director Lee.

- Yes, Mother. It's almost midnight.

But Grandfather...

If you hold him too long before marriage,

they won't think fondly of us.

Let's send him home for today.

It can't be helped.

Let's play to decide the match some other time.

I understand, Grandfather.

You're not very smart.

Sorry?

I thought you were smart,

but I changed my mind after seeing you today.

How do you do business with such little compromise?

Grandfather and I were on equal ground.

He noticed when I was taking it easy.

You should've acted better.

I have to go, so just do it already.

Sorry?

- Hold me before I go. - I don't want to.

I'm so jealous of my brothers.

Do you realize you almost left today?

You're showing your true colors after you got what you wanted.

- Come on. - What?

Do you have to bring that up when we're holding each other?

It's something new.

Do I have to marry such a peculiar girl?

- You can call it off then. - Confident, aren't you?

You're mine anyway. See if I care.

Mother should've given me permission sooner.

Then we'd be on our honeymoon with them.

Don't you wonder what they're doing now?

Do it in the bathroom!

Why'd you drink so much?

Disgusting... And warm... Come on.

You're too much.

- Do you feel better? - Yes, I feel great.

She should change her name to Mal-sool.

Enough.

Who gets knocked out drunk on her first night...

Soo-young!

- So how'd you do last night? - How about you?

You seem like you had a rough night.

I shouldn't have come with you.

You're lucky I'm here as comic relief.

If you came alone, you'd be writhing in embarrassment.

I'm tougher than you think I am.

- Then last night was wild? - That's not appropriate.

Jin-ah!

Soo-young told me last night was hot!

I'm so jealous!

Put them on for me.

- Do it yourself. - Keep it up.

You better not get knocked out tonight.

Put them on!

You and Jin-ah are different people.

She's fragile, and you're a tomboy.

Want to die on your honeymoon?

- Are you all right? - Yes.

You're not so good yourself.

I told you.

- Are you all right? - Yes.

Are you all right again?

Hey!

- Having fun by yourself? - You didn't pick up on skiing?

I was busy trying to make ends meet, thank you.

You have no loyalty.

So much for your "loyal mutt Ha Tae-young."

- I'll teach you how. - Forget it, you dirty jerk.

Let's get along while we're on our honeymoon.

Put your arm around her.

What's all this after your wild first night?

That useless brother.

This is your honeymoon picture, okay?

Just take the picture.

Kiss her or something.

- Happy? - That's not any better.

Just take it. We have to take ours too.

- Hold him, Jin-ah. - Like this.

Don't be shy.

Make a heart.

One, Two...

One more...

This is your honeymoon picture, okay?

Fine. Count down.

We're not on a school field trip.

One, Two...

One hundred and thirty-eight.

You have a hundred thirty-nine eyelashes on your left,

and a hundred thirty-eight on your right.

Why are you counting them?

I read something about eyelashes in a novel.

I know how many eyelashes he has.

When I read that,

I figured the lady character really loved her man.

I wanted to do that when I found my match.

Close your eyes.

I need to know how many eyelashes you have.

What? Do you need another drink?

No.

Let's just do it tonight.

I'm gritting my teeth.

Why do you have to grit your teeth?

My heart's beating out of my chest.

- Tae-young. - What?

Let's just have one drink.

Mal-soon.

What?

Thank you for marrying a guy like me.

Are you crying?

I'll be good to you.

Thank you for saving me from myself.

You're so cute. I really love you so much.

Can we do it one more time?

What are you doing?

Why did you come outside?

I wanted to give you a massage before you meet them tomorrow.

But I didn't see you in your room.

I felt like I had to burn these before I met them.

What's this?

Jin-ha's marriage letter and his Four Pillars.

I see.

I'm cruel, aren't I?

Don't say that. He'd be happy for you too.

Would he really?

Put them behind you and go on. Nobody will blame you.

No wonder people mourn for the dead.

The living can move on with their lives.

But you've been living like the dead for too long.

He knows that, so he'll give you his blessing.

- Welcome. - Welcome, Sister.

Please have a seat.

Nice to meet you. I'm Ahn Soon-jin.

Hello.

- Stop making a fuss. - When did I do that?

- Please take her upstairs. - Yes.

- Let bygones be bygones. - Well said.

You shouldn't be upset with me now

that I've given you my permission.

Don't bring that up anymore.

I have to clear things up.

I won't have you look down on us just

because you're from a noble family.

Professor Ha wouldn't do that.

- Let's just be cool. - Let me make my point.

Don't try to teach us just because you're learned.

- She wouldn't dare to. - Stay out of it.

If I told my daughter-in-law to die,

then she should at least pretend to.

Don't say such grim things.

Say whatever you want.

And don't you dare make your husband follow your lead.

Make sure to listen.

She's giving you a good lesson.

Just because he's into you, you can't bend him to your will.

Yes.

Tell your mother I want to meet her.

We're the ones responsible for the preparations.

I understand.

Why'd you follow me up here?

I have to work on my dissertation.

You're mad.

Listen. She's giving you a good lesson.

- I had to play to her mood. - But I felt your sincerity.

- Leave. I'm busy. - You're mad.

You could've just stayed quiet.

But you jumped in to say, "Make sure to listen."

I can see how you'll change after we get married.

Do you want some coffee?

What are you, my coffee servant?

I'm cowering.

I know what you're thinking.

You'll take revenge on me for making you wait.

- You read my mind. - Go to work.

If you read my mind, then why'd you give me such a hard time?

You even ignored me

when I asked you if you were being swayed.

Leave.

You almost killed me.

But I brought you back to life.

You should lock the door.

Sorry, we're just out of our minds.

You're making me very jealous.

I'm searching for a good guy.

You still have the mind to do that though?

Yes.

I hope it's not a useless search.

I understand.

I'll pick you up. Good luck on your dissertation.

Just go on home. I'll be really late.

My brothers are coming home tomorrow,

so I have to get a lot finished today.

Shouldn't you go home early and tell them how great it went?

Grandfather's visiting relatives, and my parents will be late.

So I'll be working on my dissertation.

I'll come later.

- See you. - Bye.

Dan-ah, you found a great one.

Women have to be with men who love them more.

You're too much.

And you're cold-hearted.

You didn't even glance at me for two hours.

- I'm scholarly. - I got the short end.

This is how I get treated when I come right after work.

I told you to go straight home.

- Play with me. - I don't have time.

Some guy shook me up out of my work schedule.

Your words really urge me on.

Hands off please. I want to stay focused.

Since we're getting married soon, can we just jump the gun tonight?

I don't think so.

I didn't think so either, Gang-suk.

- She treated me well. - That's good.

She wants to meet you to discuss marriage preparations.

All right.

- Young-in. - Yes, Father.

Dan-ah's going to be part of their family soon.

Regardless of our customs,

arrange everything according to their customs.

I understand.

I feel iffy about meeting her.

Why?

We already kind of clashed once.

As Father said, comply with their customs.

You know my personality.

Just don't forget this is for your daughter.

You know I can't put up with prejudice.

Please, Young-in.

Just swallow your pride for Dan-ah's sake.

I should start dying my hair.

No, Grandmother. It's just a few gray hairs.

Don't console your old granny. Life is so meaningless.

- Grandmother. - Yes.

You know your underclassman?

Byung-do?

He seems like a great person. He looks after you well.

Not you too. We maintain a platonic friendship.

Hello?

We didn't jump the gun, so chat with me.

I was talking with my grandmother.

Why doesn't she just stay in her own room?

I heard that!

She heard me?

How can I not hear you when you're yelling?

Tell her I'm sorry. Call me after you send her away.

Sorry, but I think I'll sleep here.

Bye.

She's jealous too, isn't she?

You stayed up talking on the phone?

No, Grandmother.

I had those days of passion too. Now I have gray hairs...

Speaking of which, I wonder how my aged nephews are doing.

So two of them rushed you.

Not to mention one held a stud, and the other a sashimi knife.

Where were your back-ups?

They were fighting other people.

So I kicked one of them in the head,

and whacked the other with a stud.

- Isn't she amazing? - Yes.

- How many casualties so far? - About twenty.

How many more to go, do you think?

I'm not sure.

Would you please focus on her story?

And then?

At least we ended at thirty.

That was like watching an action movie.

Double Knife? What a scary name.

He's really infamous. He and I went on a one-on-one.

Does he really wield two knives?

That's how he got his nickname.

He took them out from his shins,

So...

so I just head-butted him on the chin!

You're bleeding!

They must've had a rough night.

She's really dependable.

I came to greet my brothers.

Why don't you just move in while you're at it?

Would you like me to?

I have to take care of my parents, since I'm an only son.

But I'll be sure to stop by often.

Don't say that.

You shouldn't visit your wife's house so often.

Mister, Grandfather wants you to come in before they arrive.

Okay, let's go in.

Well...

Is he always so sly?

Women only enter this room when they marry

or leave to get married.

This is a little better than last time.

Maybe because someone's not spilling his soup to spite me.

Why are you looking at me, Mother?

I wonder why.

How'd you screw up last time?

There you go again.

Mom, you should ask, "what trouble did you make?"

- Go rest in your rooms. - Yes, Grandfather.

You heard him.

Dan-ah.

What's wrong with Gang-suk?

He's going at Grandfather with all his might.

Don't ask me.

I wonder how many hours it'll go on today.

He's done this before?

He played till midnight on your wedding day.

Please, go rest in your rooms for tonight.

Don't be formal with us, Grandmother.

Yes, it's really awkward for us.

It's just as awkward for me, but okay.

You must be tired after your trip, so go rest.

We'll be counting on you to teach us.

- Grandmother. - Yes.

Can you prepare some liquor?

Liquor?

I have to stop Grandfather before he collapses.

Let me take that back.

Grandfather, you can't take back your move.

Please admit defeat.

Would you look at that?

Okay, I admit defeat for this round.

- Grandfather. - What?

Can Soo-young and I have a drink with him?

Drink by yourselves.

We have some words of advice for him.

Come in.

Just what do you get out of defeating your elder?

Grandfather and I have a score to settle.

Just sit down.

Cheers.

Congratulations on your marriage.

Thank you, Brother.

Just cower before Dan-ah obediently, okay?

- I'm already doing that. - That's good then.

Bye.

- Sorry? - We're done, so leave.

- That's all you had to say? - What else should we say?

You're sending me off after one drink?

We're newlyweds. Why would we care about you?

Our brides can rest only after you leave, so go on.

Leave.

- This is unfair. - Then get married.

The show's not over, Uncle.

I think that's enough for tonight. Go sleep in your room.

Can I have a TV in my room?

Okay, so just go to your room.

Want to go to the hot springs?

I have to prepare for Gang-suk's wedding.

Don't pout.

He's always making excuses to go to their house.

Their sons are returning from their honeymoon,

so Gang-suk has to be there too.

He'll be visiting them often once he gets married.

That's only because Professor Ha's there.

He won't go there once she gets married.

I had no idea my son

would fall head-over-heels for a girl.

Your son's home.

He's early.

I feel uneasy.

You can't sleep either, Mal-soon?

Look who's talking, Sister.

You couldn't sleep, Sister?

I couldn't sleep knowing

we'd have to get up at five for the service.

Same here.

It's already past one.

If I fall asleep now, I won't be able to get up.

It can't be helped.

What are you doing?

I'm going to have a drink, and then I'll go to sleep.

What if we can't get up?

Just one shot, and we'll sleep well.

Did Jo-man kick you again?

That sleeping habit of hers is reducing my life span.

What should we do with her?

What's going on here?

Why are you sleeping here?

Why are you sleeping here?

You must be sore.

I was worried I wouldn't get up in time for the service,

so I had a drink and I fell asleep here.

Someone would've woken you up.

Thanks.

I'll buy a few patches on my way home.

I'm all right now.

Thank you for trying so hard, dear.

It's so nice to hear you say "dear."

- Harder. - Then I'll break your back.

Why couldn't you think of setting your alarm, you dummy?

I thought it wouldn't work.

You were just sleeping without knowing I was up.

The same goes for Soo-young.

We're worn out from the honeymoon.

And Jin-ah and I aren't tired?

Okay.

You have to go to work, Dad. What's going on?

Grandma, Dad's stepping on Mom.

It's not what you think.

What did I just hear?

To emphasize the ingredients

without having to use too much sauce,

you put them in layers like this.

We can't say that we don't have a grudge,

but for the sake of our children, let's forget the past.

I agree with you.

I don't mean to impose,

but marriage means the woman marries into the man's family,

so allow me to make my point.

Go on.

I understand your custom regarding traditional weddings,

but I'm against it.

Since people know it's Professor Ha's second wedding,

but I don't want the rumor mills to get going.

What do you mean?

Her first wedding must've been a traditional wedding.

That might lead the guests to gossip about it.

We don't insist on a traditional wedding.

We'll follow your custom.

And...

These are the gifts she has to prepare.

Sorry?

My husband doesn't have relatives,

but I do have a big family.

I don't want her past to embarrass me.

I'm not asking for too much, so please do the best you can.

I organized them for different branches.

That won't be too difficult to prepare, right?

I should get going.

I have to prepare dinner for my husband

and Professor Ha tonight.

I called for you here because I have something to say.

We should be on the same page since we'll be family.

Yes.

You know the genealogy that you're holding onto?

Can I have it?

Father!

You'll quit school Let me see your bankbook.

Sorry?

We should move into a hanok. That befits a noble family.

We're going to live like noble people too.

I'm thinking about a thousand guests.

A thousand?

You should hold on to it.

This is so much money.

Let me see your bankbook.

$490? That's all?

What are you doing?

Don't tell me you'd do this on our first night too.

I thought I didn't have feelings, but I was wrong.

You have a call.

It's Kim Sun-tae.

It's Myungseong's third son.

TO BE CONTINUED...
