(Episode 44)

Mr. Kang!

Ms. Kim.

What brings you here?

What are all these?

Perhaps, Madam Park sent them?

Actually...

This is from me.

Please take it.

From you?

But why?

Ms. Kim, congratulations.

That you were approved to marry Director.

You've heard?

Yes, I have.

I felt so happy for you.

These are to congratulate you.

Thank you so much.

You've come all the way here to give me these?

I had a business around here...

and decided to stop by while I was at it.

As a matter of fact, I was going to call you.

And let you know.

Is that so?

Yes.

You've helped us.

Whenever I was in trouble, you've been there for me.

I think this is all because of your help.

Thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

I haven't done anything.

Mr. Kang.

Why are you crying?

I think I'm going to cry too.

I mean...

I've seen you struggle all this time.

It was involuntary.

I beg your pardon.

That was silly of me.

Mr. Kang.

Congratulations.

My goodness, that wench.

Why would that wench abuse such a nice girl?

I'm home.

You're here.

Oh, dear.

What's with the flower and cake?

Are those from Director Wang?

No, they are from Mr. Kang.

Really?

Why would Mr. Kang give them to you?

Why, he's being so nosy. How ridiculous.

Even if he gives these to you,

don't accept them.

He's so weird.

Mother.

I have something to say.

What is that?

Director Wang's family...

has approved...

our marriage.

Pardon?

What? Are you...

Are you serious?

So Mr. Kang gave these to celebrate me.

Let's put that aside.

So you mean...

they really approved you to marry Director?

Yes.

My goodness.

Is this really happening?

Why, my heart is pounding.

That means...

I'm going to be in-laws...

with Bon and Food?

My goodness.

I can't believe it either.

- But, Do Ran. - Yes?

Since they've allowed your marriage,

you should now be preparing for it.

Go ask Director Wang's plans...

about Mi Ran and...

my living expenses beforehand.

Mom, what are you talking about?

Don't you know?

If he wants to marry you, he should pay the price.

Mom.

What do you mean by that...

when I am marrying him?

What are you saying?

Don't be foolish!

If you go off to get married,

how would Mi Ran and I to live afterwards?

What are you talking about?

You guys can live here.

With both of your income,

you can pay the rent.

Isn't that enough?

Mom, I'm going to go wash myself.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my.

Oh, dear.

What...

She's getting married to a conglomerate family,

but Mi Ran and I have to live under this shack...

like beggars?

Does she know how much I've paid to raise her?

That ungrateful wench.

How can she do this to me?

What am I going to do?

Very nice!

Oh, my Hong Joo!

(Hong Joo)

The phone is turned off, Please leave a message.

Did something really happened with Hong Joo?

Mr. Kang.

Hello, Ms. Na.

You've come this early to see Ms. Oh?

That's not it.

As a matter of fact,

I came to see you.

Me?

What's the matter?

I can't reach Hong Joo right now.

So I was wondering if she contacted you.

No, I don't personally contact her.

If that's why you're here, you shouldn't have come.

By meeting you carelessly,

I might have blown things out of proportion.

I've offended you,

and Hong Joo ran away from home.

If she ever calls you,

please let me know.

I beg of you.

If she does, I will.

Thank you Mr. Kang.

And about last time,

I'm sorry for misunderstanding you.

Please accept my apology.

Yes, ma'am.

Alright, then.

How can you ignore my sincerity?

I'll never come to see you.

Was I too harsh?

By the way,

did she run away from home because of me?

No way.

I might be late for my volunteering.

I better hurry.

Hello, Mr. Kang.

Hong Joo.

The children said they craved the banana muffins,

so I've prepared this week's ingredients.

I'm sorry for not telling you beforehand.

It's fine.

It must've been hard for you to prepare it alone.

Don't say that. It wasn't hard at all.

I see.

Are you okay?

Oh, really?

As you can see, I'm okay.

Mr. Kang, we have leftover ingredients...

for chocolate muffins from last time.

Should we make some of them too?

Sure, let's do that.

Mr. Kang.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Do you have something to nitpick about?

It's nothing.

Do you want to...

have a cup of coffee with me?

A cup of coffee?

Yes.

Okay.

It's delicious.

This 30-cent coffee you bought me...

is strangely better than the five-dollar one.

Thank you.

That's good to hear.

You seem to have something to tell me.

Go on...

Just don't tell me not to come back here.

A while ago,

your sister came to see me.

What?

Did she go to see you again?

What did she say?

Did she say silly things again?

I even ran away from home because of her,

how could she go see you again?

Look, Hong Joo.

She said nothing silly, so please calm down.

Are you sure?

She didn't say anything foolish?

No, she apologized first...

for what she did the other day.

Really?

She apologized to you?

Yes.

She's being helpful now after causing trouble.

Hong Joo,

You should call her so she feels at ease.

She's really worried about you.

You might have forgiven her...

for her misbehavior towards you,

but not me.

I don't want to call her.

Hong Joo.

The children must have arrived by now.

Let's go bake the muffins.

Wait.

(Ms. Na)

So Jung.

Hello.

You look like grannies. Oh my goodness.

Guys.

It's all over your face.

It's all over your clothes.

- You've become a snowman. - I know.

Since we've decided to proceed with,

Dae Ryook and Ms. Kim's wedding,

I wish we do it within this year.

I think it's better...

for us to hold it while I'm still sane.

Come on.

You're doing okay these days, so don't say that.

Will it be okay...

for you and Ms. Kim to rush the wedding?

Yes, I'm good with it.

The sooner, the better for me.

I see you're so much in a rush.

What's with the rush? Are you worried Ms. Kim...

I mean, your future wife might run away somewhere?

This pollack soup is more refreshing than usual.

It's well cooked.

Eun Young, you should call your future in-law...

and meet up with her today.

Ms. Kim and her family aren't well off,

so tell her mother we'll take care of everything.

Be careful not to hurt her feelings.

Honey.

Okay, I get it. I'm not deaf.

Honey.

Your favorite seasoned oyster is delicious.

Try some.

What's wrong? Did you chew on a shell?

What's wrong?

Ms. Cho.

She chewed on an oyster shell.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I checked and washed it several times.

I'll be more careful next time.

I'm done eating.

I can't stand this chilly mood.

I can't even enjoy my food properly.

Be careful not to irritate her...

for the time being.

Okay, I'll do that.

Are you on your way to see your future in-law?

Yes, but I really don't want to.

I'd rather choose to go see a devil.

Can't you go on my behalf?

That's right, please do that for me.

That's nonsense.

Why do I always end up with bad in-laws?

I'm sorry that I'm one of those in-laws.

I'm not talking about you.

You'll be shocked if you see where Ms. Kim lives.

Not to mention her mother.

To think that I have to...

talk about this and that with her as in-laws,

I'm already feeling sick.

You won't have to see her once they're married.

Just think of it as a necessary rite.

You'll have to see her at least once.

I'm trying to think of it like that too,

but I feel so resentful towards my mother-in-law.

It wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for her.

You're right.

Why do I have to suffer when I did nothing wrong?

Gosh, my head.

Let me lie down here for 10 minutes before I go.

- Sure. - Gosh, my head.

Goodness.

(Mr. Kang)

What?

Who might that be?

Is she seeing someone in secret or something?

Hello?

My sister is at the church?

When does it end?

Okay.

Thank you for calling.

Hong Joo, that brat. I can't believe this.

Why did she have to fall for Mr. Kang of all men?

Why do you keep following me?

Say it if you have something to say.

Mom, when you see Ms. Oh,

don't say anything strange.

Strange like what?

I have nothing to be ashamed of.

I'll just say what I have to.

As your mom,

I'll say what I have to say, so don't you worry.

- What do you have to say? - I'll have to see.

Things like wedding date and wedding expenses.

You can't deal with those issues, can you?

His family will have to...

take care of everything anyway.

So I'll just go...

and hear what she has to say.

Mom.

Then just say that you'll follow...

whatever his family does.

Don't say anything silly.

Come on. If you can't trust me that much,

why don't you go there yourself?

Mom.

Here. It's for your lunch and taxi fares.

Did you put a lot?

Yes, I did.

Taxi.

- Mom. - See you.

- Be careful. - Okay.

Mom, I'm counting on you.

Don't worry.

What...

Why is Do Ran with that woman?

That woman isn't Do Ran's mom.

My husband told me that...

Do Ran's birth parents both died.

Do you know any of her relatives?

Then... Then...

that Do Ran...

is the same one?

My goodness.

What is going on? How come...

He doesn't even know his daughter lives so close.

I wish I knew his number to tell him.

My wish is that...

Do Ran doesn't know...

what her father's like until she dies.

Yes.

He doesn't want her to ever find out.

Why would I get involved?

What do you mean...

you just need a date?

I didn't give in...

because I'm pleased about this union.

I had no choice...

because my mother-in-law has dementia.

So I'll just do the bare minimum.

We won't invite many guests.

Don't worry about the expenses.

We'll sort everything out.

We don't expect any gifts.

You won't be able to meet our standards.

That's why I just need a date.

Hearing you say...

to my face that you don't approve...

upsets me a lot as the mother of the bride.

This is unbelievable.

So what if she's upset?

Since you'll sort everything out,

you can set the date too.

Okay.

I'll inform you of the details then.

I think we're done here.

Shall we leave?

No.

You forgot the most important part.

The most important part? What's that?

Once Do Ran's married,

her younger sister and I...

will be left without any income.

How will you support us?

You didn't mention that.

Pardon?

What...

are you talking about?

Do Ran's the breadwinner of our family.

Once we marry her off,

we won't have an income.

If you wish to...

take Do Ran for a daughter-in-law,

you should pay for what went into raising her.

What? Pay for raising her?

Did you just say I should pay you for raising her?

Yes.

If you don't agree with it,

I cannot approve of this wedding.

What?

My gosh. I don't believe this.

What nonsense is...

Why are you so surprised?

Don't you read the paper?

It costs a fortune to raise a child.

The 2017 calculation of costs to raise a child...

is 308,960 dollars.

Do Ran became a member of my family...

because we adopted her,

but we fed, clothed her and educated her.

I invested a lot into her.

She only just got a job to bring in an income.

If we marry her off now,

how am I to live?

Just a moment.

Did you...

just say Ms. Kim was adopted?

You adopted her?

Oh dear.

You didn't know?

I thought you knew.

My goodness.

Oh dear.

(Kim Dong Chul)

Dad.

It's me.

I brought someone I want you to meet.

He's my fiance.

Director Wang Dae Ryook.

Is this your dad?

Yes.

My dad.

Dad.

I'm going to marry him.

What do you think?

Do you like him?

What did he say?

Does he like me?

Yes.

He likes you.

Thank you, Father.

Dad.

I'm getting married.

Thank you, Dad.

I love you.

He's not your birth father?

No.

But he raised me like his own.

He's my only dad in the world.

Okay...

You're surprised, aren't you?

That my parents aren't my real parents.

I'm not surprised.

It's just that I never imagined it.

Where are...

your birth parents?

Did you look for them?

No.

I was told they died when I was a baby.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you had such a hurtful past.

I'm okay.

I'm really okay.

But...

I just miss my dad.

If he was alive,

he'd have liked you a lot.

He'd have called you his dear son-in-law.

You can take these.

Thanks a lot.

Today was a special day.

The kids loved the banana muffins.

I was so pleased.

Yes. So was I.

Dear me!

Did you just curse?

No, I don't know how to curse.

Hong Joo.

You called her, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

Why are you here? You aren't welcome.

Do you know how worried I was?

Let's go home.

No.

I don't want to make up with you.

Will you...

Let's just go home.

We'll talk then.

Hong Joo, you do that.

Go with your sister.

Hong Joo, go home.

Okay, Mr. Kang.

I'm going home because you told me to.

Okay.

Thank you, Mr. Kang.

You're calling him that too?

Well, then.

Let's go home.

Mr. Kang.

See you again soon.

I'm off.

Bye.

Eun Young...

should be home by now.

I hope Ms. Kim's mother...

isn't offended that we'll take care of everything.

With so much difference our background...

there's a lot to consider.

Yes, there is.

When Dae Ryook's married, will they stay with us?

Yes,

he'd have to.

Ms. Kim has to stay close because of Mother.

Why?

You can move out if you feel uncomfortable.

Of course we'd feel uncomfortable.

Da Ya, shall we move out?

I don't feel uncomfortable at all.

I like living here with you,

Father and Grandmother.

Good.

You and Ms. Kim are of similar age...

so it would be nice if you could help each other out.

Yes, Grandma.

- We're back. - Hello.

- Ms. Yeoju. - Yes?

- Did you buy the abalone? - Yes, I did.

Ms. Kim likes marinated abalone.

Make some with care.

The last batch was salty.

Okay, Madam Park.

Here you go.

Mr. Kang.

How about some sweet coffee?

Yes, let's resume work after some coffee.

Sure, I'll have some.

Ms. Oh went to see Ms Kim's mother today.

I guess Ms. Kim will move in here pretty soon.

If she moves in here,

how should we address her?

Wait.

Ms. Oh should be Madam Oh,

and Ms. Kim as Madam Kim?

Does this sound right?

I asked Madam Park about that earlier.

We should call Ms. Oh the way we always do.

And we should call the other two...

the same with just more respect.

All right. That would work.

Mr. Kang, once she moves in,

you should also call her Ms. Kim.

Okay. I'll do that. Thank you.

Good.

Mother! Jin Gook!

It turns out Ms. Kim is a foster child!

Ms. Cho, get me a glass of ice water.

Yes, ma'am.

Honey, what are you talking about?

Mother. Jin Gook. I've never...

experienced something like this before.

I can never let him marry her.

I will never let him do that.

What are you trying to say?

Just say it in a language that we can understand.

Okay.

I'll tell you what happened.

Ms. Kim's mother said,

she wouldn't marry her daughter...

unless we pay for raising her.

What on earth are you talking about?

I know. You think it's ridiculous, right?

But this is what she said.

If we don't pay her for raising her daughter...

for 28 years, she won't approve her marriage.

Mom, are you serious?

Yes. That's what I heard.

So I told her that was just ridiculous.

Then she said she adopted Ms. Kim...

and raised her since she was a baby.

And that she just now started making money,

so they will not be able to give her up like that.

She said, the average cost to raise a child...

in the year 2017, was 308,960 dollars.

I almost passed out.

So you're saying Secretary Kim was adopted?

Yes, Mother.

What about her birth parents?

She doesn't even know about the birth parents.

What should we do?

Jin Gook, what do we do?

My goodness. Was she adopted?

Ms. Cho?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

- I'm sorry. - No, Mr. Kang.

Just leave it. We'll clean it up.

Are you all right?

Yes. I'm fine.

Gosh, you must be shocked as well.

What should Ms. Kim do?

What if they call off the marriage?

I know.

What kind of evil stepmother is that?

If I were her, I would've kept it a secret.

How can this happen?

How can she stand in Do Ran's way like that?

She's Do Ran's mother after all.

She's her mother!

Do Ran, what are you doing?

Just try it on.

Do you really want me to walk around wearing this?

It's embarrassing.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

This is what couples do nowadays.

Before we get married,

I want to try everything we haven't done.

Gosh, you're so childish.

That's right. I'm childish.

- You're a baby. - Baby?

Okay. I'm a baby.

What are you going to do? Call off the marriage?

You can't even do that now.

How do I look? Do I look good?

See? You look so beautiful.

You look pretty in Hanbok.

Your Highness, shall we go?

All right, my servant. Follow me.

What? Did you just call me your servant?

Honey, come with me.

- Stand here. - Here?

- Like this? - A little lower.

A little lower?

In 1, 2, and 3.

Three.

This is fun.

I feel so happy just walking around with you.

Let's do this every day even after marriage.

Every day?

Aren't you going to work?

We can do that after work.

Do you want to take a picture here?

1, 2, and 3.

1, 2...

You got a call.

- Hello, Mom. - Where are you?

Don't tell me where you are.

Just come home immediately.

Okay.

What's wrong with her?

Gosh!

What are you doing here, Mr. Kang?

Are you here to pick up Do Ran?

She isn't home right now.

I'm not here to pick her up.

We need to talk.

- Me? - Yes.

What is it about?

Go ahead.

How could you do such a thing?

What?

What did I do?

How could you ask for money...

in return for raising your child?

I know she's adopted,

but you are her foster mother.

How could you do that?

Mr. Kang.

How could her mother, of all people, do that?

Just put yourself in Ms. Kim's shoes.

Director Wang's parents...

barely approved their marriage.

Don't you even care about Ms. Kim?

Hey.

What do you think you are? Why do you push me around?

Are you my husband or what?

You're just a driver. How dare you yell at me?

Whether I ask for money or not,

whether I try to sell off my daughter or not,

Why does it matter to you? Who do you think you are?

- Me? - Yes, you!

Tell me. Who do you think you are?

I'm...

I'm...
