Original subtitles

(Episode 15)

It's been a long time, Sun Ja.

What brings you here, you wench?

You haven't changed.

Although I didn't expect you to welcome me,

this is quite upsetting.

We haven't seen each other...

for 28 years.

That's right. It's been 28 years.

It's been exactly 28 years.

You are well aware of it.

How can you show up at this time of night?

- Sun Ja. - Don't call my name!

Can you call yourself a human?

You are still the same.

The same applies to you!

You are as cold as an ice.

You are as spiteful as a snake!

You have abandoned your child!

Sun Ja!

Can you call yourself a mom?

You have no right to give birth to a child.

You are worse than an animal!

Even an animal doesn't abandon its child.

Leave, leave!

Get out of here!

How dare you have a seat?

Leave at once. Get out!

Is Seung Yeon...

doing well?

What was that?

I said, is Seung Yeon...

doing well?

Are you seriously curious about that?

You gave me money to send her away to the States.

And why do you want to know that all of a sudden?

Is she...

doing well in the States?

Of course, she's doing well.

She is enjoying her life there!

- What a relief. - "What a relief"?

How can you be relieved?

Do you feel relieved to see your child live...

in a deathly silence and not cry for her mom?

I've come to tell you something.

I'm saying this just to be sure.

I'm saying this to both you and Seung Yeon.

Promise me...

to live like this...

now and forever.

What?

Just like how we lived,

let's...

ignore each other.

I've come to say this.

Hey.

Hey.

What did we do to you?

I just thought that...

it would be good for all our sakes.

Then I'll be going.

(Han Cheon Ox-bone Soup)

You horrible wench!

You despicable witch.

Don't you dare come here again.

You unforgivable witch.

The worst of all kinds of witches.

You spiteful snake!

Horrible witch...

Hi, Mom.

Can you...

come see me right now?

What's wrong, Mom?

Hurry.

Hurry and come here, please.

What is going on? Are you sick?

What's the matter?

Where's Uncle? Did he leave work?

I'll go there right now.

Drink some warm water first, okay?

I'm heading there now.

I'm sorry, but I have to leave work first.

- Oh, okay. - I'm sorry.

Wait, hey.

What was that?

She told us not to look down on married women.

Now she's up to her family business again.

Maybe she put up an act...

to leave work early.

I'm sure she plotted this with her mom.

- I guess so. - I'm sure it's right.

How could you say things like that?

How mean.

Didn't you hear her? Her mom's sick.

You mean brats.

Do you think you can walk?

I said I'm fine.

Lean on me.

You'd feel a bit comfortable that way.

You didn't change your password?

How fearless.

Be careful.

There.

Have a seat here.

I'm good now.

Do you have ice in your fridge?

You can just go.

This would do.

Where are you going? No.

No, don't go to the toilet.

I said I'm okay.

A cold pack is good for a sprain at first.

Even if it's cold, put up with it.

Does it hurt?

It's bearable.

What?

You got hurt because I took you by the river.

I feel guilty.

It's not because of you. Forget it.

You don't have to worry about such a thing.

By the way,

can't you wear sneakers...

when you work outside the office?

What did you just say?

I was talking to myself,

ma'am.

Keep this cold pack on your ankle today.

Make sure you put a warm pack tomorrow.

It'll get better tomorrow.

Tomorrow is a weekend,

so you can't go to hospitals.

I said I'm fine.

Go home now.

You must be tired from work today. Go rest.

Now.

Okay.

I'll leave since you insist.

But you must put this on until you go to bed.

Okay. Hurry on.

Goodnight then.

What is this?

Mom!

Mom!

Mom! What's wrong?

Wake up, Mom.

What's wrong? What happened?

Mom.

Well...

Seung Yeon.

I mean,

Mi Ri's mom was here.

What?

Mom...

Da Bin, let's go to bed now.

No, I'll wait for Mom.

Where are you?

What? You can't come home?

No, I think I have to stay here.

She's suddenly sick?

She was completely fine a while ago.

Dad went naked in front of Grandma.

Stop it, Da Bin.

What?

What does she mean? You went naked?

It's nothing.

Go away.

Why is Da Bin still awake?

She's waiting for you.

Why didn't you put her to sleep?

Do it already.

Anyway, I'm staying with my mom today.

Sleep with Da Bin tonight.

And look after her. Tomorrow's a weekend day.

- Bye. - Honey. Honey!

Mom.

Drink this to calm yourself down.

Here.

Mi Ri acted strangely...

a few days ago.

I guess she met her mom.

No way.

Otherwise, why would she say...

she'd abandon her child if she had one?

Mom, if Mi Ri wanted to find her mom,

she would've done it a long time ago.

Why would she meet her now?

As you said, it's been 28 years.

It's a long time ago. They won't be able to...

recognize each other even if they slide by.

Then why would her mom come to see me...

out of the blue after 28 years?

What if she runs into Mi Ri?

That poor thing...

She would have her heart torn into pieces then.

I know.

Something must've happened to Mi Ri.

I'm sure of it.

It might not be true, Mom.

So calm down.

I'll go talk to Mi Ri tomorrow.

Mom...

I can't watch Mi Ri getting hurt.

I can't.

I just can't.

Mom.

Hello, Father.

Hi.

Grandpa.

Goodness.

Did you have fun, Da Bin?

Yes.

My sweet Da Bin.

Who do you take after that you're so pretty?

My mom.

Oh, really?

Grandpa thinks so too.

You're so cute.

Hey.

Where's Mi Sun?

I don't know. She hasn't called.

Do you think her mom's very sick?

Dad.

Mother isn't sick at all.

How do you know that?

She was just fine yesterday.

I bet that Mother and Mi Sun schemed...

because they just wanted to sleep together.

What?

Mother relies a lot on Mi Sun.

You'd think they're married to each other.

She doesn't want to sleep alone,

and it's her day off.

She wants to sleep with Mi Sun to badmouth me.

You idiot.

- You're stupid. - Dad.

Is that all you can say?

Will you please grow up?

You used to say,

"I can't last a day without Mother."

You changed your tune already...

and now you're blaming her?

I'm not blaming her, Dad.

You...

She has something on you, doesn't she?

- Something on me? - Yes.

Be quiet, Da Bin.

Forget it. Let's leave it.

Look at this.

Since your mother-in-law comes by,

the whole house is spick and span.

Look. Everything's in its place and organized.

Do you see that?

Then you should have...

a sense of respect and gratitude for her.

You're... Look.

What's all this on the floor?

You should clean up.

You can't leave everything out.

Da Bin.

You should clean up while you play.

Shall we clean up together?

- Yes. - Okay.

Let's do it.

Yes, good girl. Put them together.

- Good. - You want a tonguefish?

Did I come here for a tonguefish?

Fine, I won't cook you any.

My goodness. "I won't cook you any"?

If a man has made up his mind...

Then what?

You should cook it.

Cook one for me to taste.

Okay.

He's such a show-off.

My goodness.

Dad, it might burn.

Dad.

Eat slowly. You could have indigestion.

Your dad...

has little time, okay?

What?

How long...

do you think I will live?

Why should I eat slowly?

I have little time to spare.

Da Bin. Hold out your spoon.

Okay.

Do you see this?

Hold it like this...

and eat like it's a harmonica.

I must feed my granddaughter...

and I must eat myself.

There's little time, okay?

Mom's helpless.

Why doesn't she take care of you?

Dad.

Where's Mom anyway?

Your mom?

How would I know? Do you know?

Does this fish know?

My gosh.

Mi Ok.

You're so sexy when you tear the fish.

Our master might fall for you.

What are you saying?

That's just rude.

Back in the day, Mi Ok was...

a great cook and housekeeper.

Master.

Here you go. You should eat.

Hold your spoon out.

There.

My gosh.

Our master looks so amazing...

even when he eats.

Here's another piece.

So, master.

Why don't you talk?

You're too reserved.

Don't make him talk.

My men at home are too talkative.

My husband and son.

Don't you think...

Mi Ok should pay for dinner today?

She's sitting next to our master...

and hogging all his love.

You have a point.

Mi Ok, you pay for us all.

Or else, we are going to envy you.

You sit right next to our master.

I'm so jealous.

Well,

we're treating our master.

Does it matter who pays?

We got lucky.

We can eat now.

You're the best.

Oh, okay.

[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E15 'Mother of Mine' "Mi Ri Getting Along with Tae Ju" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Mi Ri acted strangely...

a few days ago.

I guess she met her mom.

Auntie cried so much that I felt embarrassed.

Are you really okay?

Shouldn't you see a doctor?

It's fine.

I put ice on it yesterday and it's much better.

I think it's almost healed.

You should be careful. You're a grown-up.

Okay. I'll be more careful.

Where are Jin Soo and Da Bin?

At home.

It's a weekend,

so I told him to watch Da Bin.

He'll have a wretched day.

I can almost see him whine and complain.

What?

What? It's nothing.

How are things at work these days?

As usual. I'm busy, busy, and busy.

Did anything else happen?

Anything else? Like what?

I was wondering if anything had happened.

What? Does mom want me to go on a blind date?

No, she didn't say anything like that.

That's a relief then.

- Do you want a latte? - Yes.

It's fine if you don't have milk.

No, I have milk.

Are you expecting someone?

No. Is it a parcel?

- I'll check. - Okay.

Who are you?

Kang Mi Ri...

Are you here to see Mi Ri?

Yes.

I see.

Yes.

- Mi Ri. - Are the books here?

Tae Ju.

Come in, come in.

Don't just stand there. Come in.

- Sit over there. Sit. - He's...

Okay.

- Have some coffee. - Okay.

Here.

Thank you for the coffee.

I'm not sure how it tastes.

I tried to make a nice cup.

It's delicious.

Is it? What a relief.

Why did you bring this over?

The ice pack will have taken away the pain.

Now you need a hot pack to relieve the swelling.

My gosh, you're so thoughtful.

How do you know so much?

What?

I used to be a swimming instructor.

Lots of people got hurt,

so I administered first-aid.

I learned things along the way.

Oh, I see.

A swimming instructor, that's cool.

Did you teach for long?

No.

It was a part-time job for a short period.

I see. How do you know so much?

And here. I used this when I got hurt.

I brought this in case you'd need it.

I said I'm fine. You didn't have to.

I'm telling you. I'm all better.

Gosh, how kind of you.

Thank you.

It's not easy to find a careful man these days.

Thank you so much.

What is your name again?

I'm Han Tae Ju.

Han Tae Ju.

Mi Sun.

What a cool name.

I'll be off then.

Already?

I'm going to leave soon.

Stay here with Mi Ri.

Stop it.

No, I'll be off.

Wait! I'll open the door for you.

Thank you.

Goodbye. Nice meeting you today.

Visit Mi Ri often.

- I see. Goodbye. - Bye.

What was that?

What's with him, you brat?

What do you mean?

What's with the man just now?

What do you expect?

Spit it out.

He's my colleague at work. A newbie!

Just your colleague?

Yes.

If he's just a colleague, why would he come over...

on a precious weekend?

Because he lives on the 14th floor.

And I got hurt on our work outside yesterday.

Are you satisfied?

He lives in this apartment?

That's enough, Mi Sun.

Really?

I should've given him some side dishes.

Mi Sun!

Don't stop me.

You've got to have a man frequenting your house.

Or you won't have any progress.

Didn't you tell me not to get married?

I told you not to get married.

I didn't tell you not to date anyone.

If you have someone nice, see him.

Besides, he's handsome and younger than you.

You should go for it.

The way I see it,

he has feelings for you.

Have you gone insane?

Why would he bring this to you then?

In case you wouldn't have money to buy it?

He's just feeling sorry for making me get hurt.

Even so, it's hard to be this kind to a superior.

Maybe he's trying to win my favor to get promoted.

Do you have to say it like that?

Come on, give it a try.

Dating a younger guy is trendy these days.

Are you seriously insane?

What do you expect me to do with my subordinate?

You're helpless.

Why are you blushing then?

I'm not blushing.

It's because you're acting so silly.

Goodness. Your face is completely red.

Whatever. Go home now.

You're red down to your neck.

- It's hot. - You're hot red.

I said, go home.

I know you like it too.

Ms. Kang.

My sister told me to give this to you.

Thank you.

I'm sharing this with you because we're neighbors.

And for lending me your hot pack.

It looks delicious. Thank you.

Look.

Why do you visit my place without any notice?

- What? - My sister got us wrong.

Wrong about what?

Anyway, call me next time you visit.

Well, I'm sure you won't visit me.

Anyway, I'm off.

Ms. Kang.

What?

You have no makeup on your face today.

No, I applied foundation.

So what?

Are you saying I have to wear...

a full makeup even at home on weekend days...

in case you'd visit me?

That's not it. You look docile.

You look better without any makeup.

Ms. Kang.

What?

Is your ankle really okay?

I said it's fine. It's okay, okay, okay!

That's good to hear.

What are you doing today?

It's none of your business.

Ms. Kang.

What?

I'm bored.

Really?

I'm not completely sure though.

What? Is that true?

Come on, Uncle. Don't overact.

I said I'm not sure.

Still, a man visited her. To her house himself.

They live in the same apartment.

What? They what?

They live together?

It's not that they live together.

They live in the same building.

That's the same thing.

Only married couples are allowed to live together.

That's not it.

Shut it. What's a big deal if they live together?

- Mom. - Sun Ja.

Let's be honest. You want Mi Ri to end up like you?

Do you want her to be single...

until the age of yours?

She's got to get married by any means.

You're unexpectedly radical.

Goodness.

How is he? Does he look nice?

What about his personality?

He seems nice.

How old do you think he is?

I'm not sure about that.

What on earth did you find out then?

I didn't have enough time.

Mi Ri, that brat made such a fuss.

I didn't even get to see him properly.

I should marry her off somehow this time.

Mom.

So don't worry.

She's fine.

She seems to be seeing someone too.

Mom.

It'd be amazing if that's true.

Is Mi Ri seeing someone?

What?

When did you come out?

I wish it works out for her too.

Gosh, when did you come?

What a surprise.

Mi Ri has a boyfriend with that temper of hers?

You have one too, so what's wrong with it?

Do you want to die?

Why are you here again?

Don't you have writings to do?

Look, Writer Kang.

I finished two manuscripts at dawn today...

and came to eat just now.

Where are you going, by the way?

You know where. Dol Dam Gil.

Why?

I'm a writer without any workroom,

so I got an empty space in the office.

I'm going there to write. Got a problem?

Come to my workroom then.

No, thanks.

Why would I write with you?

You and I are in different fields.

I'll take you there then.

No, you won't.

I'll pick you up when you're done then.

- What? - I'll pick you up.

What... You can't do that.

That's my workplace...

and my sacred workroom. You can't come.

Okay.

Instead...

Instead what?

Good luck with your writing.

Don't skip meals.

Okay, okay.

Good luck with you too.

And don't eat too much.

I'm eating less these days anyway.

Can you tell?

Goodness.

Don't you come. Goodness.

(It's useless to worry about your unsure future.)

(Dol Dam Gil)

What a horrid relationship.

He was the one who bought the last copy of my book.

I don't want to go in there.

I have to.

We should've done our regular meeting last week,

but we're doing it today due to the time limit.

It's fine.

Thanks for your understanding.

We have a new member today.

- Introduce yourself. - Introduce yourself.

Hello, my name is Lee Eun Jin.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

What's with you?

What?

You're late and in inappropriate clothes.

This isn't a comic book store.

Because you made me work even on weekends.

You read the contract.

And you get paid extra for it.

I forgot because I didn't read it closely.

Peter and even Dol Dam aren't working.

Why is it only me?

Am I not any better than a dog?

Whatever. Let's just serve them coffee.

I've read it just once.

Who are they?

You should fill in the blank.

It's my first time.

They are the members of a book club...

and they have a regular meeting in this cafe.

A book club? They all look so young.

Why?

Don't you know since you were stuck in the room?

There are many book clubs among the 20s and 30s.

It's a proper gathering of young people trying...

to solve their ultimate problems through books,

which they couldn't solve by talking to friends.

- Mi Hye? - Yes?

Pick up the tray.

Are you guys having a good time?

- Yes, thank you. - Thank you.

Which book did you choose for today?

This book was published a quite long time ago.

It was a controversial book on the year of 2010.

It's "Twenty Is Winter".

That's an interesting book.

Have fun.

You can tell her if you need anything.

She is a part-timer here.

- All right. - Thank you.

Although this book was written nine years ago,

the author had an insight into social conditions.

You're right.

"Don't just say youth is a treasure".

"We are painful".

It's a very unique perspective.

So this author caused a massive confusion...

in the literary world.

Frankly speaking, because of...

the author's critical view and heavy problems,

- it was not easy to read. - You're right.

This book might seem to penetrate the reality.

But it's too sentimental.

So it sort of felt like reading a passage...

from a college entrance exam.

I guess that's why the author quit writing.

The author disappeared.

It's clear that the author has quit writing.

Right.

Many authors have quit after their first work.

I feel bad for the author.

Are you okay?

Yes...

I'm okay. I'm fine.

I'm sorry. I'll be right back.

(Episode 16 will air shortly.)

I've checked your channel.

I'll get the location information again.

What is this?

Gosh.

I've sent you to the wrong place.

I sense the enemies.

What is this?

It's hot!

My goodness!

What kind of a game is this?

This is very childish!

I saw you totally enjoying this game, Ms. Kang.

Did you have fun?

What are you saying? This is childish.

Maybe you should wipe the sweat first.

What? Sweat?

This is because I haven't worked out for a few days.

Let me see.

It looks like I've burned up some calories.

It was childish.

But I guess it wasn't too bad.

Why did you do your best in such a childish game?

You are sweating so much.

It's all right.

You are so spiteful in the company.

So you should relax in a place like this.

That's what humanity is.

What do you mean?

It seemed like...

your IQ has dropped by 100.

What did you say?

Get changed and I'll see you outside.

Hey, Tae Ju!

Tae Ju!

Oh, my!

I will win this time.

- Oh, my! - What?

Goodness, Ms. Kang!

- Goodness! - Ms. Kang!

I won! I won!

Do you want this?

No.

Why not?

It's an ugly doll.

- Is it really your... - Be quiet.

What?

It's your turn.

Did you lie to me?

Hurry up.

Can't you be generous and encourage a newbie?

Why are you taking this so seriously?

Then you should've encouraged your senior.

Am I wrong?

What?

What are you waiting for? Go on.

All right, Ms. Kang.

Here I go.

Oh, my!

Awesome!

Ms. Kang, look at that! I got 50 points.

- Did you see that? - Hurry up!

Ms. Kang, what do you say?

Do you want to bet on dinner?

50 points?

All right. Let's call it a deal!

You have agreed.

Don't change your mind.

My goodness! Awesome!

Ms. Kang, can I eat meat?

I'm so talented.

Ms. Kang!

Yes, it's Kang Mi Ri.

All right.

Why? What's going on?

Tae Ju, I must leave.

Pardon?

I have some business to take care.

Let's have a bet on dinner some other time.

Ms. Kang.

You can't leave like this. Are you running away?

Then let's say you won.

I'll buy you dinner next time.

Ms. Kang!

Chairman, Ms. Kang is here.

Ms. Kang Mi Ri.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Have a seat.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Are you nervous?

Yes. I am.

You're very straightforward.

I've heard a lot about you already.

You're a frighteningly competent employee.

The executives are all tense because of you.

I'm so flattered.

Chairwoman Wong is very hard to deal with.

Whenever I go to China, she shows up...

and sucks all my energy. She's frightening.

When I heard you put the deal through,

I knew you'd be something.

It was the decision of Chairwoman Wong...

who thought our products would be appealing enough.

It wasn't my personal competency.

You're humble too.

You're prepared in many ways.

I'll take that as a compliment.

You're right about it.

I compliment people in front of them...

and get rid of them behind their back.

You're in front of me now, so it's a compliment.

I wanted to see your face.

I wondered what kind of person you were...

that you're so influential in the company.

That's not true.

The company has a lot of people greater than me.

But they're all aged.

I hate oldies. Why?

Because I'm an oldie.

What I want is...

smart and competent young people like you.

The future of this company...

depends on young fellows like you anyway.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

Good. Do your best.

I wish my attention would be helpful to you.

Oh, right.

Are you offended to be summoned on the weekend?

No, of course not.

Executives never rest 365 days a year.

Think of it as a practice to become an executive.

It might make you feel less offended then.

I'll work harder, sir.

[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E16 'Mother of Mine' "A Conflict between Mi Ri and In Suk" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

You're here.

I saw Ms. Kang outside your office.

Did you call her in?

Yes, I did. Why?

Do I need your permission to do so?

Why are you looking so pale?

Have a seat.

Why did...

Ms. Kang come here to see you?

Why did you have them do a background search on her?

Don't do such a thing. It's vulgar.

Mr. Chairman.

I guess you're getting old too.

Do you have to trample on that young woman?

She's consumable anyway.

We should make good use of it while we can.

Don't you agree?

Besides, she's doing great right now.

She's bringing benefits to the company.

Do you...

still keep watching...

on my every move?

That's nothing to be serious about.

Of course, I do.

Mr. Chairman.

You and I.

Sung Soo is gone,

and we can be strangers anytime.

I'm leaving the company up to you,

so in order for me to feel at ease,

I should have that much of insurance.

Don't you think so?

It's been 28 years.

I lived quietly in this family...

for 28 long years.

And I was sincerely grateful to you...

for finally granting me a position.

So I'm devoting my whole life for the company.

But this is...

an insult to me.

"An insult"?

Don't get worked up over such a thing.

I granted you that position...

to appreciate your hard work.

I have no regrets about my decision.

What makes you so distrustful about me?

Is my loyalty not enough for you?

Come on. Stop it now.

Don't get worked up like other women.

Others might think you're my wife.

Stop nagging me now.

Show me the report.

- Hey. - Yes?

Sit down for a second.

Take this.

What is this?

Give it to your mother-in-law.

It's money.

It's not much.

Is this for the food?

That's not it, punk.

Give it to her as if it's from you.

Don't make it look like it's from me.

Why should I?

Why? My goodness.

This is why there's a saying...

that sons-in-law are of no use.

She comes to your house day and night...

to look after Da Bin...

and feed you with delicious food.

So you should express your gratitude too.

Give her some pocket money from time to time.

Give her a gift too.

That way, she'll find its worth.

Don't you think so?

Right.

Must I teach you every single thing like this?

Okay. You're amazing, Dad.

Punk.

Let's see.

Grandpa, I'm done cleaning.

Really? Come here.

Da Bin, you're so nice...

and obedient to your grandpa. Right?

Hold on.

I should give...

some pocket money...

to my pumpkin too.

(Receipt)

(Hanyang Table D'hote)

Corvina course meal.

What's next?

Tea.

How much did I spend?

Why did they have to make me pay for everything?

I ended up spending so much.

How much is it in total?

350 dollars?

I have to hold out until this month's annuity.

What should I do?

Master's birthday is coming up next week.

I'm short on living expenses this month.

What do I do?

I'm broke now.

Maybe I gave them too much.

It's hard to be a grandpa...

and a father.

It's hard to be an elder without money after all.

I don't even have money...

to pay for a drink with my friends.

I'm completely broke.

- Honey. - Honey.

Honey, what are you up to?

What about you?

Are you bored, by any chance?

I was just about to...

feel a little bored.

Were you? Then how about we...

play a game?

"A game"? What kind of game?

This?

What kind of ritual takes so long?

Here.

Is it 10 cents per point?

10 cents. My foot.

A dollar.

A dollar?

You're serious about this. A dollar per point?

Very well. I'm in.

No taking cards back or whining.

Watch your manners.

What?

Don't you flip the blanket just like the last time.

I'll make you pay then.

I should say that to you.

Let's play fair and square. Fair play.

- Well... - Start.

Okay, I'll start.

There.

Where's the pair? What a great start.

Is it my turn? I have nothing to take.

It can't be like this already.

What happened? Where were you all day?

Where's Da Bin?

In bed.

I'm so tired.

I'm dying.

Where were you all day?

I watched Da Bin all day...

and cooked Dad all his meals.

I'm exhausted.

Where were you all day?

I told you I went to see Mom.

Was she sick yesterday and today?

Something came up.

What happened?

Mom was a bit sick,

and I had to visit Mi Ri.

So I visited her then helped Mom at work.

Why did you have to do that all?

Are you the only daughter?

Excuse me, Jin Soo.

Have you forgotten what Mom does for us?

Well... She...

Are you going to be like this?

You keep going to see your mom, so...

I don't care. Stop talking.

I'm going to bed.

- I'm so tired. - Honey.

Isn't it a bit unfair to leave yesterday...

and come back today?

Where's the card I need?

Yes, I got Hongdan, that's three points.

- Oh, dear. - Wait.

Why is this card here?

Let me see.

- This is a Gwang. - That is a Gwang?

This is a joker, so it should...

How dare you try to steal? I'll snap your wrist.

That stung. Your slaps hurt.

Stop talking and play.

Play quietly. We're going all the way.

Mi Ok. Mi Ok.

Why are you calling me by my name?

You did that 40 years ago...

and that's why my life is this mess right now.

- How many points is that? - There.

I might have five Gwangs. Good job.

Hey, Mi Ok.

Let's call it a day.

And...

a dollar per point is gambling.

We'd be arrested if someone reported this.

We're doing this for fun and amity.

I don't care for fun or amity with you.

Play on or stop if you're out of cash.

We shouldn't play for so much money.

I'll take back...

What are you doing? Leave it alone. Seriously.

We're done playing for the day.

You're out of cash, so don't play anymore.

Mi Ok, the cash...

- I said leave it alone. - Oh, dear.

Don't you touch my money.

The coins then... The coins are...

How much did I win today?

Mi Ok.

Mi Ok, I have nothing left.

Give me a little back. I have no money...

Go away, I said.

I'm so hungry that I can't sleep.

There's nothing.

Wait.

She asked me to dinner, and then rushed off.

That's how little Ms. Kang...

thinks of a newbie.

Did she really go to see her ex?

Never mind.

I don't care.

Hey, Tae Ju, where are you going?

Hi.

Where are you going?

To eat dinner.

Dinner? At this late night?

Yes.

You must be coming home now.

I met someone, then went to the office...

to get some work done.

I see. You went to work.

Go on upstairs then.

What's the matter? Are you angry with me?

I'm not.

Fine, I'm sorry.

I apologize.

You were thoughtful enough...

to bring me a hot pack,

and hung out with me...

all day in case I felt bored.

You're upset that I ditched you.

You know.

Go on feeling bad then.

Tae Ju.

Don't be like that.

I'll buy you dinner. Don't be angry.

Where shall we go? The restaurant we went to?

It's closed at this hour.

Do you know what time it is?

Oh, it's too late.

Where shall we go?

My ankle still hurts.

Hey. What are you doing?

Why are you in heels?

Couldn't you wait?

Hang on and lean on me.

Where are we going?

To a 24-hour gamjatang place.

- What? - I want gamjatang.

Okay. Let's have gamjatang.

Okay.

Are you very angry?

Don't ask.

Who won the dart game?

Who won? Of course, I won.

- You owe me dinner. - Isn't that void?

- It's not. You ran off. - Okay.

Let's have gamjatang.

Okay.

Mom.

Are you asleep?

It's okay.

We can talk.

I feel so anxious.

Why would you feel anxious?

Mi Ri's mom.

Why did she show up so suddenly?

She didn't say much.

She said she wanted things to stay as they are.

Then she shouldn't have shown up.

Why come by after 28 years just to say that?

I don't know.

Mi Ri's just fine, Mom.

Even if something happened,

she's grown up now.

She's old enough to deal with it.

She can't deal with anything.

You have no idea.

Mi Ri's a softie.

She never said anything about it,

but you think about it.

She was six, Da Bin's age.

Do you think...

Da Bin doesn't know or notice anything?

Even she can tell...

who likes her and who doesn't. She knows.

At that age,

Mi Ri's mom left her with us...

and never visited once.

How broken-hearted do you think she'd be?

Gosh.

That little girl grew up to be so determined.

Since the day she was abandoned,

she never mentioned her mom once.

If I nagged her, she just accepted it,

and if I gave her food, she ate it.

If I bought her a new book bag,

that little girl...

didn't know what to do.

That's how Mi Ri lived.

Didn't you know?

Yes, I knew.

That's why we always feel...

grateful and sorry to Mi Ri.

It breaks my heart...

every time I bring back those memories...

about Mi Ri.

It really breaks my heart.

Although I'm not her birth mother,

I feel bad for her.

Mom.

I...

I must have sinned a lot in my previous life.

I've raised someone else's child...

and suffer a great pain.

Mom.

Don't cry.

Mom, stop crying.

Mom, should I come over?

I'll be there.

This is an inevitable decision, due to...

the continuing downturn of a fashion industry.

I know this is a very difficult decision.

But I hope you'd follow this decision.

We should maintain support business for commercial...

and golf championship just like last year.

But we can't raise the budget.

She's in the States.

I sent her there when she was little.

She graduated from college there...

and is doing great with her life.

The support business is deeply connected...

with every department in the company.

When we drew a budget,

we reduced budget from other business lines...

and went through a mediating process.

We've submitted a budget based on...

the effectiveness and validity of business.

So what is your point?

If we change our plan,

the whole thing will go back to square one.

I think we'll consume even more cost and labor.

Do you think I gave that direction without knowing?

I think you didn't analyze the situation in detail.

Ms. Kang!

I also think we shouldn't reduce down commercial.

Our company has tried hard...

to extend the targeting age group for many years.

It's not easy to extend the targeting age group...

just with a better facility.

In order to differentiate,

we focused on the image commercial.

But if you're going to reduce this commercial,

you're denying the company strategy.

You might suffer big loss in going after small gain.

Ms. Kang.

Are you trying to teach me?

This is not something that you can grasp in a month.

Ms. Kang, you are out of line.

This meeting...

was held for you, who is newly appointed.

We already had a long meeting,

have delivered business progress of departments.

We don't even have enough time to work in the field.

How can you say we are starting again?

It will lead to tremendous losses in the company.

What do you think...

you are doing?

(Mother of Mine)

You should do the dishes.

How did she raise her son?

What's wrong with him?

Jin Soo.

Is Ms. Park giving you hard times?

Mother...

What kind of trouble has Ms. Kang gotten into?

Don't hate her too much.

Are you taking her side in my presence?

I'm going to set a plan to fire Ms. Kang.

Are you all right?

I think you're confused.

But I'm your senior.

Did you say hi to her?

She just made her debut. She is a rookie author.

Let me please talk to Mi Hye.

- Follow me. - Where are we going?

Mi Hye, you should give up.

I know you're suffering.

Mi Ri! Mi Ri!

Han Tae Ju?

Mi Ri, you really shouldn't do that!

You should change your personality.
