Original subtitles

Am I really from this family?

Joo-jeong.

I'm adopted, aren't I?

How did you...

Joo-jeong.

I was abandoned.

How did you find out?

Then I don't have real parents.

You poor thing.

Does anybody else know?

Anyone besides you and Brother?

President Ha knows.

Suk-ho knows?

Joo-jeong.

No matter what anyone says, you belong to the Ha family.

Father.

You took me in out of love,

but I've been nothing but trouble for forty years.

You...

Get up.

- Why? - Up.

What do you want?

Are you tired of me already?

Sorry?

Why are you turning your back on me?

What now?

You know what you did.

What did I do?

You keep turning your back on me.

Did I?

I turn you over, but you keep turning.

I'm ticklish.

Then I can't hold you just because you're ticklish?

It's not that.

I must've turned over because you're breathing on me.

What are you doing?

You have no excuses now.

You're going to sleep like that?

Better to suffocate than to face your back.

What a crybaby.

I'll try my best to sleep facing you, okay?

You're acting up more every day.

Good night, you baby.

How about a lullaby?

Come here.

Sleep tight, my baby.

In the backyard and the front yard,

the birds and the lambs...

I'm fully awake now.

Son, did you do something strenuous last night?

Father.

Uncle, isn't that obvious?

I just couldn't sleep.

You sang me a strange lullaby.

You sang him a lullaby?

- Son. - Yes.

Why is it that you're becoming more of a baby every day?

Your style really took a hit after you got married.

Stop teasing him. You'll embarrass Dan-ah.

We're going shopping after breakfast.

You're going shopping again?

A day isn't enough.

I'm bringing Dan-ah along to my meetings.

Mother, cut her some slack.

Her leg...

Is something wrong with your leg?

It's nothing, Mother.

Her legs are so slender. She can't walk around all day.

Every girl has slender legs.

Do you have a mirror in your room, Soon-jin?

Take a good look at yours.

You're so embarrassing.

Blame yourself.

If it weren't for your lullaby provoking my urges,

I'd be going to work in good condition.

I didn't know you were this much of a pervert.

But you held out when we were dating.

I've been holding back for too long.

Have a nice day.

I think my back has a sensitive area.

Leave!

Thank you very much.

I think it's a good start.

I'd like more opportunities to host more teams.

I'll do my best to serve the incoming customers.

That punk speaks Japanese.

Manners.

What's with all this coffee?

He's already had five cups.

Five cups?

I'll pay the commission as promised.

Thank you.

I heard there's a big group of Japanese coming to our resort.

I've been pushing a golf event with a Japanese tour company.

Have you been doing business with that company for a while?

That's not your area of expertise.

I had a roommate who was from Japan.

And he happens to work for a tour company now.

I guess it's about networking.

If I had known, I would've studied in Africa.

Are you laughing at me?

Just because I failed to enter a third-rate college three times?

You went to a third-rate college?

You always end up digging your own grave.

Why are you drinking so much coffee?

You should know as a newlywed yourself.

Congratulations on your good news.

Thanks.

It takes some effort to have a honeymoon baby.

Seems like you'll be catching up.

We're shooting for seven, but I'm already tired.

It's hard to work during the day and then at night.

Drink some coffee if you don't want him to pass you.

Is your wife a good singer?

What?

When Dan-ah couldn't sing a good lullaby,

I had to do something to make her stop singing.

You're so shameless.

It's not true, is it?

That grandma was wrong.

Right?

I'm such a lucky person.

I could've grown up as an orphan,

but I was raised in the Ha family.

You didn't have to.

I just stopped by after meeting with the bank director.

Go ahead and eat.

I'm not sick or anything.

I just wanted to copy Gang-suk.

Tae-young didn't like that

Gang-suk always used to go to eat lunch with Dan-ah.

I thought it was a good idea.

So I decided to try it myself.

Do you know how silly you sound?

I'm only telling you and no one else.

Aren't I cute?

Come in.

- Aunt. - Hello.

How are you feeling?

I'm just fine.

How did you...

I just...

...found out.

You're so persistent.

You were only thirteen when they adopted me.

Brother and Grandma Sam-wol aside,

you managed to keep it a secret until now.

Calling me "Aunt" has never bothered you?

Aunt.

The day they found you on our porch,

Father and Mother thought about making you my sister.

That seemed proper, considering our age difference.

But Grandmother wanted to make you her daughter.

That night, Grandfather told me,

She's your aunt from this day on.

And you have been.

Remember I said that you were really strange?

You called me "Aunt" although I was much younger.

You've always been my aunt since that day.

I've never thought otherwise.

Do you know anything about my real parents?

No.

I see.

I'm just curious...

...about my real parents.

Aunt.

If you had been my sister,

I could console you as a brother would.

But I don't think I can do that with an aunt.

I don't know my real parents, but I'm grateful...

...that they left me at our family's doorstep.

I must've been out of my mind, Mr. Chairman.

You told Joo-jeong that she wasn't my real sister?

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

I don't remember how that came about,

but I recall talking to Joo-jeong about adoption.

How did that...

I think my time has come.

I don't know how I let that slip.

I'd hoped that I wouldn't be a burden to this family.

I'm terribly sorry.

My lady.

What's wrong with me?

I said things that would hurt Mr. Chairman and Joo-jeong.

What's the point of me living on?

Did you deliver them as I asked?

Yes.

Thank you.

Take a rest.

You've been working all day.

I'm all finished.

Let's go get a facial. Spring's coming about.

Is this green bean?

Yes, we had some left, so I ground it up with some rice.

I feel so bad.

Lie next to me.

Ask the housekeeper to do it for you.

No, Mother.

You're confident of your skin, huh?

I'll ask Gang-suk to do it for me later.

That was unexpected.

I'm a lot more brazen than you know.

You're quite humorous.

- Dan-ah. - Yes, Mother.

About becoming a full-time professor.

Yes.

I heard it's a difficult process.

It is.

You helped me keep my head up before those noble ladies,

so I want to return the favor.

What do you mean?

You'll find out how much I care for you in due time.

What a sight.

Welcome home.

This is what they did in the royal court.

Dan-ah's made you out to be like a queen.

- Dan-ah. - Yes, Father.

Would the king lose face if he cared about cosmetics?

I didn't think you'd be working a part-time job.

Welcome.

Hye-joo, what's good here? Let me treat you.

The employees aren't allowed to eat with the customers.

Are there such rules?

There are.

I'll take your order.

What's good here, Hye-joo?

Everything.

I asked Hye-joo.

I know better than her.

Aren't you being a little rude?

It's just the way I am.

And you treat customers like this?

No one's complained yet.

Sung-soo!

Hey.

You finished your army duty?

You guys haven't changed.

You look cooler than before.

Did you hear that, Hye-joo?

Thank you.

I'll treat you next time around.

Bye.

See you.

He was really popular in high school.

All the girls in our school were into him.

I think he's interested in Hye-joo.

Right.

It seems like another winding road for you.

With a tough rival in your way.

Leave.

Watch how you behave.

Don't just let people go around touching you.

You're so dumb.

I'm right on time.

I made it home thirty minutes after work.

Aren't you proud of me?

I'm so proud of you.

What the heck?

When are you going home?

Go greet your parents.

I'm home.

Howdy, Son.

You're really into cosmetics.

We're getting the royal facial.

Don't make her work too hard.

But she'll be rewarded accordingly.

Did Mother buy you a diamond?

That's too weak.

You opened a bank account for her?

What a money-grubbing boy.

I noticed that from the go-stop game.

Where's the housekeeper?

She had to go home to take care of something.

How can I help?

But you're a good-for-nothing.

What? Don't get me started.

Dice the garlic for me.

Let me show you my skills.

Wash your hands first.

I already have.

How do I do this?

What did you mean by skills?

I'm a fast learner.

Chop them thinly with the knife.

Okay.

I'm bleeding.

Can we go upstairs for a minute?

You're sick.

Let's go up. Come on.

You have a room for that.

That's not right.

I've heard of a love triangle,

but what's a love rectangle?

Her name is Ji-woo?

Yes, she's a new student at the academy.

You're interested in her too?

She's so cute when she calls my name.

She has round eyes too?

She wears glasses and looks smart.

So what?

It's an all-in for Ji-woo, not for Seo-hyun and Hyun-ji?

I don't know what's wrong with me,

but when she compliments me,

my heart feels like it's going to bust out of my chest.

I just can't help it.

He's fooling around with so many girls like me.

But I grew out of it.

I wonder why he got such a fast start.

Poor Dong-dong.

What's there to worry about?

Hyun-ji and Seo-hyun will beat him up.

I think you're the most thoughtful person in this family.

Thanks.

But I'm no good when it comes to girls.

The problem is, Uncle...

Yes.

Hyun-ji and Seo-hyun like me, but I'm not sure about Ji-woo.

But that's exactly why I'm falling for her.

I know what you mean.

You're attracted to someone who doesn't like you back.

What are you doing out here?

I'm talking about life with Uncle.

Do that with me.

He sucks when it comes to girl problems.

I know more than enough.

Dong-dong, just do a ladder.

Write their names down, and leave it to luck.

Then go all-in!

That's exactly why I can't have a talk with Dad.

I know what you mean.

Don't make your life difficult.

No wonder Dong-dong looks down on him.

It's a nice sight.

A son looking down on his dad?

They're so friendly with each other.

So go ahead and have a son.

Grandmother. Have you had dinner?

I'm all right. Go ahead and eat.

Even Grandfather didn't want to eat.

It's all my fault.

Joo-jeong.

Just cry it out.

I know it hurts.

Why would I cry?

It's better than being an orphan.

I was lucky to have been adopted.

Don't hold back.

Byung-do.

I regret it so much.

You regret what?

I've been terrible to my father for twenty years.

Not knowing the whole story,

I acted up because he didn't let me be with my loved one.

- That's... - Just once.

I just want to meet my father once again.

Then I'll cry out aloud, and tell him I'm sorry.

That's two-go.

You're on a roll.

Let me mark this double-stakes round.

Dan-ah, watch out for pibak.

I'm trying, Father.

You can do better than this, honey.

There's nothing you can do when you have a bad hand.

Let's get going.

I have nothing.

Here, you can avoid pibak.

Thank you, Mother.

That's a crapped set.

I have a headache.

Son, deliver the money for three-go!

Cough it up.

$8 on tab, please.

I don't do tabs. Give me your watch.

But we let you run tabs before.

But I brought cash this time.

Give me your watch.

You're cruel.

That's an illegal rate.

Would you sue your dad over 80 cents?

Give him your watch.

See that? Just listen to her.

I'd say that's about $50. Here's $40 back.

That's all?

I'm the only pawn shop open in town.

Where are you going?

I'm going to get more money.

Fill your pockets up.

Win some games while I'm gone.

I'll try.

Don't try to win. Just win.

Gang-suk's blowing off steam.

He hates losing.

It's going to be a bloody battle tonight.

I could've driven home by myself.

I had nothing better to do.

- Long time no see. - Hello.

Where are you coming from?

I went to an ATM.

Father and Dan-ah are going at it.

Hyun-gyu.

Do you know how to play go-stop?

Sorry?

Yes.

Want to have a men's round?

- Don't. - That would be fun.

Leave.

All right, count me in.

Okay, I'll pay for your games.

No, I just got paid today.

Stop it. Go on in, Gang-suk.

See you inside.

- Go home. - No.

You'll feel uncomfortable in our house.

I'm not uncomfortable around Professor Ha anymore.

It's more thrilling playing with men.

Do you really know how to play?

I play go-stop on the internet.

That's not the same as the real go-stop.

I'll try my best.

I like that attitude.

But an adult shouldn't take money from a student.

This is men's world.

They're so strange.

Gang-suk offers that they play go-stop,

and Hyun-gyu accepts his offer.

You call him Hyun-gyu now?

He asked me to.

Don't you know why he came in to play go-stop?

You're so slow.

- It's your turn. - Yes.

You're a tazza.

I'm trying my best.

You're really good.

I guess that's to be expected from a smart boy.

He must be reading the flip cards.

I'm smart too.

Then play your cards right.

I brought some snack, Father.

Forget snacks.

When are you ever going to win?

You never know until the end.

I thought I was going to win.

Right.

Take it.

That's the fruit of your labor.

Save it for next Saturday's game.

She'll hold on to it until then.

Don't spend it on anything else.

I wanted to play all night, but I'll let you slide for now.

We're playing until the sun comes up next time.

Okay.

I really like him.

So do I.

I really hope it works out for him and Hye-joo.

You're so slow.

If he came in our house to play go-stop,

that means he's more than interested.

Is that right?

I've lived my life by my intuition.

And I dare say he'll be my son-in-law.

That was a bloodbath.

If it weren't for Hyun-gyu,

my plan would've worked perfectly.

You lost on purpose for Father?

Aren't I smart? You didn't even notice.

So smart you sacrificed my watch.

But I'm so happy for Hyun-gyu and Hye-joo.

Don't change the subject.

I'm so much better than some loser.

I'm getting worked up.

Calm down, Mister.

You know, less is more.

Take a rest and save your energy for later.

I've been resting for thirty years!

Make do with Slap.

I'm not a pervert!

Why are you out here?

I've been waiting for you.

Did you have a drink?

Yes, just a little.

I heard Sam-wol had a slip of the tongue.

That's not like her. I guess she's gotten old.

Did she tell you that?

Joo-jeong.

Yes.

You were a great joy to Father and Mother.

Mother's first marriage failed because she didn't bear a child.

Then she found you.

When she did, she had tears in her eyes

and said the heavens blessed her with a child.

She loved you with all her heart.

The reason why Father was against Kyung-sub was

because you meant more to him than anything else in the world.

I tried to send you off with Kyung-sub

because you're my one and only precious sister.

I know, Brother.

Please don't feel so bad about yourself.

Gang-suk.

Gang-suk.

Did you have a bad dream?

You had a nightmare?

I can't keep that promise, that I won't pass away before you.

I can't live without you by my side.

Okay, let's pass away on the same day,

so we'll never have to spend a day without one another.

You'd make a better housekeeper than a professor.

What a thing to say.

Can you say anything else about her diligence?

What a tiresome life?

Yes, Professor.

I'm doing great.

What's going on?

Okay, I'll be right there.

See you soon.

Did someone call you from school?

The Professor wants to see me.

Then get going.

- What's up? - Sorry?

I heard you sent a cake to the Dean,

Professor Noh, and Professor Park.

A cake?

They were surprised.

I knew you wouldn't have sent those.

Tell me what's going on.

I don't understand...

You have no idea?

Hello? Yes, Professor.

Professor Ha's here. We'll be right over.

These came under your name.

I find it hard to believe you'd do such a thing.

There was a hefty sum of money in here.

The Dean and Professor Park asked me to return them to you.

I suppose it was your husband.

You had no idea?

No.

I wasn't fond of him before,

but when he came to ask me to officiate at your wedding,

I thought he had changed his ways.

I must've been wrong.

I'm not sure, but I don't think it was my husband.

Then who?

I think my parents-in-law were involved...

This could cause a huge problem.

Because we know you better, we can let this slide.

But make sure something like this never happens again.

I'm sorry, Professor.

Which one of them sent these?

I'm assuming it was my mother-in-law.

I guess she's really fond of you now.

She even sent gifts without you knowing.

She's a very sincere person.

But she thinks money is everything?

At least I'm relieved to know you're taken care of.

I'll give you a ride.

I'm all right.

You're taking a taxi with all these boxes?

I'm curious about how much money's in there.

Professor.

You came home together?

We just ran into each other here.

Where's Dan-ah?

She had a call from school. It must be good news.

Are you at school?

No, I'm almost home.

I heard you had a good news from school.

I'll talk to you at home.

You're hanging up on me again?

Fine then.

Sorry?

What do you mean by that?

How did you...

What's going on?

No.

My daughter-in-law didn't...

My goodness...

Is that a bad thing?

It seemed to be a custom in every movie...

Oh no.

Okay, goodbye.

Why are you looking frazzled?

Bad news, honey.

What?

I wanted to do something nice for Dan-ah.

- So I... - You what?

I had Chauffer Park find out the addresses

of the Dean and some professors.

What for?

I sent them cakes in hopes they'd help Dan-ah

become a full-time professor.

- Cakes? - Mother.

What's wrong with sending cakes?

I put some money in the box.

Mother.

And why would you do that? Who was that just now?

Her husband's a professor at another school.

Yesterday was the Chancellor's birthday.

Everyone was gathered at his house,

and they opened the box I sent, thinking it was just a cake.

And it was a box full of cash.

The Chancellor was shocked, and people started murmuring.

From what I've been told,

Dan-ah might have a hard time becoming a full-time professor.

You really did it this time.

Mrs. Lee.

It's from the Chancellor of Dan-ah's school.

I meant well.

That was just unnecessary.

I'm home.

I'm sorry.

Are you?

Are those the cakes she sent?

I'm really sorry.

Don't worry about it.

The professors are going to cover for me.

There was one more cake that was sent.

The Chancellor received one.

And it was opened with some other professors around.

I'm sorry again.

You should've stayed in longer.

No, they said I was in good condition.

Please take care of yourself.

Yes, Father.

I'm sorry to make you worry.

Where's Grandmother?

She's unwell.

What's wrong?

She can't get up.

Grandmother.

I heard you were unwell.

No, I'm just playing hooky.

Tell us if you're not feeling well.

You don't have to keep it a secret.

I'm just overdue, that's all.

Get some more rest.

I had a good rest.

Why aren't you eating, Dong-dong?

He's in a love rectangle.

What's that?

He finds one new love after another.

Like father, like son.

It's been a while since I changed my ways.

Here's an award then.

Fishy.

What?

Mal-soon should have morning sickness, not you.

Is this morning sickness?

Seems like it.

Mal-soon, good luck with your pregnant husband.

What a strange boy.

Any news for you yet?

Isn't it about time?

- Soo-young... - Yes.

...has a problem.

Sorry?

He can't have children.

That's why he divorced his previous wife.

Father.

Jin-ah's aware of his problem.

There's nothing we can do, but feel grateful to Jin-ah

for marrying him knowing his problem.

I feel bad for Jin-ah.

That's such a big burden for someone in her age.

She must want a child herself.

What did Father say about that?

He discussed adoption with Soo-young.

They married knowing the problem.

They'll continue to love each other regardless of that.

I don't know what to say to her.

Tell her I'm really grateful.

Yes, Father.

Don't you ever do anything to break her heart.

Yes.

What do I do?

What?

I'm craving sour food.

Enough.

Do we have any oranges?

Where are you coming from?

I went to buy some oranges for Tae-young.

He has cravings?

Does this make any sense?

Shouldn't this be the other way around?

It's your fault for marrying such a strange boy.

Don't worry, Jin-ah.

Soo-young won't make a fuss for you.

Well, you never know.

Love makes people do wacky things.

Are they good?

I didn't know an orange could be so good.

What should I do?

What now?

- I... - You what?

I'm craving pig's feet.

Eat your own feet then!

You don't deserve to be sick.

I know we have nothing but money,

but you can't buy your way with money all the time.

I told you, didn't I?

I respect any teacher because I'm not educated.

But it worked before.

Gang-suk only became the class rep only because of bribery.

Mother!

That's not true. It's because I was smart.

Not really. You were never popular.

Don't say that.

Maybe there are some rotten teachers.

But not in my day.

When I used to go to school in rags,

my teacher brought an extra lunch just for me...

I'll never forget those moments.

Why'd you try to bribe teachers with money?

Because I'm just an uneducated woman!

Mother.

I'm really sorry.

I only meant the best for you.

Don't worry, Mother.

How can I not?

You might have a hard time becoming a full-time professor.

It's no problem.

I'll do my job well,

and they'll forgive me in due time.

You think so?

Yes, so please don't worry about it anymore.

- Dan-ah. - Yes.

Were you class rep back in school?

- A few times. - Without bribery?

I was popular among my classmates,

so I didn't need bribery.

Where is this going?

If Gang-suk had been more popular,

I wouldn't have resorted to bribery.

So it's partly his fault.

Yes.

What?

It's a great medicine for pregnancy.

Tell her to take it three times a day.

Yes.

We're going to the hot springs.

So you can stay at your family's place.

- Okay. - See you.

What are you doing out here?

Grandma's missing.

What do you mean?

She went grocery shopping after breakfast.

She hasn't come home since.

Then it's been several hours.

- Hello, Dan-ah. - Hello.

Grandmother's not home?

She's never done this before.

We looked around everywhere.

We'll keep searching, so stay put.

Yes.

Soo-young and Tae-young are also looking for her.

Let's go look around.

Right.

Don't worry, she'll be fine.

She doesn't usually take more than an hour at the market.

I wonder what's going on.

Hold on.

What's up?

I came here with her before.

She said this place looked just like the area

she used to live in.

Would she come here without telling anyone?

Let's check.

I guess she's not here.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Grandma.

My lady.

My lady, your hair is...

You sold your hair?

You'll make your husband feel even worse.

You cut your beautiful hair.

We could've cut my hair and sold it.

What's wrong with you, Grandma?

I should just kill myself while I'm still sane.

Dan-ah, I'm afraid.

I want to take my leave before I cause any more trouble.

You shouldn't do things Hye-joo doesn't like.

Clean everything and close the shop.

Are you mad at me?

Sam-wol wants to be reborn as her lady.

You should acknowledge her just once.

I crossed the line and you're sleeping just fine.

Can I cross the line too?

Stop it, honey.

Gang-suk.

What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?

TO BE CONTINUED...
