[Episode 9]
Wait.
Wait, Mother!
Please open the door! I'm locked in here!
Mother, please open the door! Mother!
I'm locked in here! I'm normal! Open the door!
Patient Chaewon Minn...
Let go of me! Let go of me!
I'm not insane!
Please help me.
Cholgyu is...
Let's see how long you can laugh at me!
My memory came back.
Everything is clear now.
How could she do that to me?
I've lived with them as if I didn't exist.
How could she do that to me if she's a human being?
I will not forgive her. I will never!
Crafty fox.
She crept and crawled before me acting all miserable but...
Ha. She's made thorough preparations for a divorce.
Mom!
Where is Chaewon?
Am I her keeper? Why do you ask me?
She's not even well. What did you do to her?
You think I harmed her? Unbelievable.
Why should I be doubted whenever she's missing?
I saw nothing of her this evening.
Are you sure? You really don't know where she is?
No!
Then where is she in this cold night? Chaewon...
Chaewon!
Can't believe I gave birth to him.
Where the heck is she? Chaewon!
Can't you be quiet? I'm trying to sleep here.
Have you seen Chaewon?
No. What happened?
I can't find her anywhere.
She's not a little kid. Maybe she went out for a walk.
Who takes a walk at this hour?
Then just call her.
Stupid. I'm doing this because she left her phone at home.
Hello?
Father. This is Cholgyu.
Is everything okay?
Everything is fine as long as you and Chaewon live happily.
How is she?
She just fell asleep.
Why did you call me this late?
Well. I keep thinking about the other day. I'm sorry, Father.
If she's treated with contempt by your family,
I won't sit back.
I will get her divorced even if she doesn't want to.
We don't mistreat her. Impossible.
Our family atmosphere is getting better,
so is the relationship between her and my mother.
Have no worry. You can trust me.
Okay. I'll believe you then.
Yes. Okay, good night.
- She's gone? - Yes.
Please fasten your seatbelt.
What a coincidence. My mother-in-law appears whenever I meet you.
I know.
I look around to see if anybody is watching me these days.
This is why they say, "You can't live with guilt."
What did we do wrong?
Excuse me?
Did you do anything wrong to me?
It's not that.
Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue.
You haven't had lunch yet, right?
I'd like to buy you lunch as an apology.
It's okay. Just drive me home.
But you always listen to my stories regarding my daughter, so I owe you.
You feel uncomfortable staying with me. Don't bother.
What are you talking about? That's not true.
Let's go somewhere to have a bite.
I'm so hungry that I can't even drive. Please?
Then let's have something light.
Come in.
This restaurant must be very expensive. Let's go somewhere else.
It's our first lunch together. I don't want to take you to a hash house.
I want to treat you to the best.
Oppa.
Please.
Okay.
This knife is so dull. It needs to be sharpened.
Or is the steak too tough?
That would be okay.
Okay.
Here you are.
I'll enjoy it.
Sure.
Ah.
Come on.
Isn't it tastier when I feed it to you?
It is.
I think you spent too much money.
Not at all.
I enjoyed it. Thank you.
Thank YOU for having lunch with me.
I'm so happy that I can't even remember how I ate the steak.
Oh, stop flattering.
Are you okay?
I think I sprained my ankle.
Oh no.
It hurts!
Seems it's serious. You should see a doctor. Can you stand up?
I cannot walk.
Get on my back.
It's okay.
Come on, get on my back.
I'll carry you just to the parking lot. Come on.
A yokel.
He has a romantic side unlike how he looks.
Are you in your right mind?
I'm sorry?
You were thrown out in that outfit.
But you want to go back? You must be crazy.
Did something happen to her again? Why do I feel so uneasy?
Hello?
This is Chaewon's husband.
What is this regarding?
Are you with my wife?
Why would I be with her at this hour?
So you are not, huh?
No, certainly not.
I see.
Wait.
Something happened to her?
Was she thrown out again?
Hey!
How do you know she was thrown out?
I happened to see her while passing by your community. I mean it.
This is my final warning to you.
If you meddle in my family affairs again, you'll be sorry.
It's you who called me.
Fine.
You're getting on my nerves. You better watch it.
Maybe she's wandering around in this cold.
What am I doing now?
Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Please open the door!
Any messages from my wife?
No.
Where the heck is she? Darn!
Oh, Mr. Kim.
Don't tell anybody I told you this.
What is it?
Your mother went down to the basement for your wife's suitcase.
Maybe she followed her there.
Why didn't you tell me that until now? Chaewon...
Chaewon, Chaewon!
Chaewon! Chaewon!
I'm here. Please let me out!
Is that you, honey?
Hurry, please open the door!
Okay!
Geez.
Chaewon. Are you alright?
Chaewon! Chaewon! Wake up, Chaewon!
Oh my god!
Can't you knock?
How could you do that?
What?
How could you keep Chaewon in the basement in this cold?
Were you going to freeze her to death?
What are you talking about?
You locked her in the basement.
What the heck are you talking about?
Who locked whom in the basement?
This is why I want to emigrate.
I can't let her live with you.
My. What in the world is he talking about?
Chaewon, you tell us.
Did I lock you in the basement?
Did I?
Why don't you answer?
Did I lock you in there?
You wouldn't have done that on purpose.
What does that mean exactly?
Is that a yes or a no?
How could she say you did that in your presence?
My goodness. This is ridiculous. I didn't. No!
Are you trying to come between us? How could you tell such a lie?
How far would you go to be satisfied? How far?
Cholgyu...
I'm sick of being disappointed by you.
Don't talk to your mother like that.
Please, stop. I'm okay, so calm down.
See? This is who she is.
You are hard on her, but she's so innocent.
She doesn't hold a grudge against you.
Seems you caught a cold.
I'll go get medicine.
Look. What's this manner?
Are you determined to drive a wedge between my son and me?
I didn't say you locked me in the basement.
How dare!
I can see right through you.
Oh, right. Guess you followed me to the basement for your suitcase.
You know what? There's nothing special in it.
I can bring it to you even now.
No need.
What?
There's no need to have the suitcase back.
What's important is all in my head.
You mean you recovered your memory?
So what did that sly fox mean?
Did she recover her memory or not?
All the lights are off.
Did she come back home?
What's wrong with me?
What am I doing here at this hour?
The fear I felt the night I was put in the hospital. How could I ever forget?
I will get even with you.
I will never forgive you.
I've been your wife for 50 years.
How could you keep it a complete secret from me?
Be quiet. Just eat.
Can't believe you squeezed $5,000 from the kids when you have $10 million.
Sly old man.
Give me just one million dollars.
No, just one percent of your money.
I want to spend money all I want before I die.
Stop being childish. Just be quiet.
By the way, why don't you say anything?
I just cannot believe that.
You have $10 million worth of assets? No, I don't believe so.
Are you saying I'm telling a lie?
It's not that.
You saw the title deed of his land yourself.
Also, Keemoon checked the papers himself.
Yes, but...
First grade beef that's nicely browned on the grill,
is setting off for Mr. Keechoon Uhm.
Open your mouth.
Okay.
How does it taste?
Good. The juice is tightly sealed in the brown crust,
so the enriched flavor of the beef juice
and its soft texture make perfect harmony.
Just like you and me?
Don't you think that's too thin?
What?
You were mean to me when I was jobless.
But now that I might inherit my father's estate, you changed your attitude?
That's too crafty.
You know I always meant to be nice to you like today.
But since life is tough, I couldn't help but grill you for your own sake.
If you've harbored bad feelings, let it go. Okay?
Honey.
Indeed, money answers to all things. It even makes you flirt.
Stop embarrassing me, honey.
Is it a dream or reality?
It's like I'm living with a completely different woman.
Stop joking around, honey.
Beef is burning.
Uh oh. This is expensive beef.
Honey. Ah.
Gee. Ah.
Just to be sure.
Don't change your mind after you inherit $10 million.
Though we're divorced, we are a team. Okay?
Okay. That depends on your behavior.
Hey, Mr. Keechoon Uhm.
Just kidding.
Once I receive the inheritance, I'll give you half.
It'll be advantageous for us to move into your parents' house first.
Oh, right. It's time to pay your respects to your grandfather.
Pay respects?
You didn't forget what we practiced, did you?
Have you slept well, Grandfather? This is Boreum, your next successor.
Why is he on the line for so long?
Hi.
I'm trying to say hi to your father, but the line is continually busy.
You're really thick-skinned.
Come on.
The $10 million asset is within our reach. I don't care what people say.
Shame is temporary but a great fortune is eternal.
You must steel your heart too, okay?
Are you telling me to quit the company and make noodles?
That's absurd. You will be the Executive Director.
We have Seulhong, the eldest grandson of the Uhm family.
I called him yesterday and told him to come back to Korea right away.
I'm gonna make up for my loss by hook or by crook.
Gee.
Oh. They will announce the change in personnel today, right?
I guess so.
[Rent: A Piano Institute with 1BR attached]
Keeok Uhm, the heiress of a $10 million estate.
Men will be lined up to marry me.
Tons of money and get married.
It's unreal. I'm just so happy!
Seaweed soup?
Your sister-in-law made it since today is your mother's birthday.
Honey.
Chaewon.
You've recovered your memory?
Have you? You can remember everything?
No. I learned it from my calendar, so I made this soup.
Oh.
So you found out it's my birthday by the mark on the calendar?
Yes, Mother. Why?
No. Nothing.
You are better than me.
I've completely forgotten about my mom's birthday.
Right. I forgot about it too since I've been so busy.
What heartless kids I have.
Let's have a birthday party this evening.
Party? That would be a palaver.
But your birthday is a once-a-year event. Let's celebrate it together.
Mom, I think you need to learn from Chaewon.
What?
You're harsh to her, but she made birthday soup for you
and even asks us to hold a party.
That's my wife.
Such a dullard. Halfwit.
I don't have good vibes. We'd better hurry up.
Did you finish the transfer of Cholgyu's title deeds? How about his cash assets?
Okay. Perfect.
Huh? The written promise?
Of course, I keep it in the strongbox in my room.
Okay.
The written promise?
She made a written promise to prove her heart towards my son.
At first, I doubted that she married him for his money.
But since she made up her mind and made it out,
all my doubts melted away.
You've made a big decision.
A notarized document is legally binding when a problem comes up.
There was the notarized written promise.
I've forgotten about it.
What are you doing here?
I was waiting to see if your mother needs any assistance.
Thank you for the seaweed soup.
See? She's the only one that remembers your birthday.
Give the devil his due.
Okay. Just shut up, will you?
You know we'll have her birthday dinner together, right?
Yes.
Oh. Bring him with you.
Who?
Of course, your boyfriend.
Are you seeing someone?
I'm not that close with him to invite him to my family get-together.
Guess he's a tough nut to crack who even makes you at your wits end.
Then you think she'd marry just anybody like you did?
Bye.
What's the password?
Her date of birth?
Or would it be the same as the gate code?
What should I do? I must get it.
Why are you carrying in those sneakers?
I thought Mr. Kim put these out for laundry.
Give it to me. They are not his.
Let's go in.
What happened to you yesterday?
What do you mean?
Your husband called me late at night to see if you were with me.
Oh, did he? I'm sorry.
This isn't that simple. How long will this go on?
I didn't know he would call you again.
Sorry to have troubled you again.
You know that's not why I'm saying this.
Excuse me?
One of my friends is a competent family law attorney.
- I'll introduce him to you-- - I can take care of myself.
I know I might look pathetic to you, but like you said, this is my problem.
I can deal with it myself.
Thank you for your concern though.
Don't be cocky when you're always put in a fix.
You ruined my schedule last night.
I had stacks of documents to go over, but I couldn't do anything after his call.
I'm really sorry to have bothered you.
That'll never happen again.
Never happen again? This isn't the first or second time.
You're not completely okay. You can't say that you can handle it yourself.
I can take care of myself.
Still talking big without any plan.
Alright, I'll let you take care of it yourself.
Thank you for everything.
Had it not been for your help,
I wouldn't be able to be here.
Or if you had let me use your phone in the hospital restroom,
maybe things would've been resolved more easily.
You mean you recovered....
Why didn't you tell me earlier? Congrats. Congratulations.
Thanks. It's all thanks to your help.
I'm glad.
So please don't worry about me.
Now that I'm okay, I can handle it myself.
Are you sure?
If it's beyond your ability, ask for help to your family or friends.
If it's still hard for you, you can ask me for help.
I've troubled you enough. Not again.
I've put you through a lot.
I even made you be misunderstood as my husband.
I really appreciate you.
You were the first man I remembered when my memory was recovered.
How embarrassed you must've been.
You bet.
Sorry for the trouble I've caused you.
And thank you.
Are you sure you can handle it yourself?
No problem.
Oh.
This.
What is it?
The sneakers you lent me the other day. Thank you.
Oh.
They kept me warm.
I'll never trouble you again.
I'll regard you as my lifetime savior.
I don't think that'll be necessary.
Please go ahead first.
I can drive you home.
It's okay. I have another business to take care of.
Please go ahead.
Then should we say farewell here?
Let's shake hands.
Don't lose anything,
neither your memory nor your love.
Good luck.
Wait.
Remember I said you're a warm-hearted man?
You are such a good person, too.
Yes, I just received the new product. Yes.
Okay. I'll be right there to report to you.
Isn't that Seyoon's mother?
You're working hard. Did you have lunch?
We only finished this floor.
This is our new product.
Please try it and give me your feedback.
It's not on the market yet, so you would be the first tasters.
Oh. Are you sure you can give this to us?
You're the hardest working people here. Sure you can taste it first.
I wondered who it was. Nice to see you again.
How are you, Mother?
I mean, Mrs. Yi.
Seems a new product came out.
I just received it from the lab, so I asked these ladies to try it for feedback.
I've seen many female employees but none as kind and amiable as her.
I know. Who would care for people like us?
I'm so moved.
Thank you, Miss.
Enjoy it and don't forget to give me feedback!
I think you're respectful to elders.
Not at all.
You said you'd visit my house. When can you come over?
Can I really visit your house?
Mr. Uhm.
Did you hear the news?
What news?
You came back.
When did she come?
She's been waiting for you for over an hour.
You may get back to work.
Yes, ma'am.
Did you wait long?
Why didn't you call me in advance?
This is different from your promise!
You said you told your husband to promote my husband.
How could you tell such a big fib to me?
Calm down and let me explain.
How can I calm down?
His promotion was a done deal until a few days ago. But...
But what?
Didn't you win the wives of the board members to Camellia?
They were all jobbed out of money and are having big fights at home.
We can't promote your husband in this situation.
I said I didn't embezzle their money. I'm a victim too!
I don't know the inside story but I couldn't help it.
He can be promoted next year.
No need!
He doesn't need that darn position!
He'd better succeed his family business. He'd better just quit.
I understand how frustrated you are, but don't you think you're going too far?
I can say even worse things, you wench!
No matter how upset you are,
how could you swear at me?
Can't I call my alumna a wench?
I was better than you in our undergraduate days.
But you hooked a rich guy and your life turned around, you orphan girl.
How dare you.
What did you just say?
Well, I'm sorry, Solju.
I made a slip of the tongue in a fit of anger.
I shouldn't have said that however angry I was. Sorry.
I'm sorry, Solju.
Get out.
Solju, please listen to me. Solju.
Get out of my house! Get out before I call the police!
Okay, I'll leave. I'm leaving now.
Who is she? Is she his wife?
Come on. Tell me the truth.
You knew about his $10 million estate, didn't you?
No. I learned about it only the day before yesterday.
Really?
Yes. I was shocked by his video message too.
Then my father really must be a weasel.
How could he keep it a complete secret even from his family?
I know.
Anyways, please take my side.
Compared to my brothers, I have many disadvantages. Please help me.
If I inherit his money, I will give you 10 percent. Okay?
I don't need money.
Okay.
He's smiling to his ears.
Why did he make a pass at me when he has such a lovely wife?
Guess he is a playboy.
Hello?
What brings you here?
I came to mend your shoe heel.
It's okay.
Come on. I'm skilled with my hands. I'm good at mending shoes.
Give it to me. I'll mend it for you.
Don't worry about me. Just go take care of your young wife.
My young wife?
Good afternoon, Ms. Yang!
I didn't know you are here. We meet often.
Do you still have the movie tickets?
Movie...
Oh, I do. I couldn't watch the move since I've been busy.
Then can you go to the movie with me today?
Now?
Why? You can't?
Of course I can.
When you ask me out on a date, how can I refuse it?
Then I'll go get changed. Please wait a moment.
Wait!
You can't go see a movie with that leg.
You'd better stay at home and take care of it.
You're really nosy.
Whether I go to the movies or not, that's none of your business.
You think you're my husband or what?
Please give me a minute.
Sure. Go fix your makeup, get changed.
Take as much time as you need.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Me?
What's your relationship with her?
Are you that close with her to go see a movie together?
Well. We are good neighbors, tenants of the same building.
Be a man and tell me.
You're interested in her, aren't you?
Oh, Mom!
Long time no see!
I really enjoyed your noodles the other day.
By the way, what brings you here?
Oh, I guess you're here for your son-in-law. He was just here.
Where did he go?
He's asking me to hush up.
Hi, Mother.
You might get caught by her if you stay here. Just go home.
What the.
Did you just make a fool out of me?
Oh no. Let him go.
My, I didn't know you are this violent.
It's not that.
Are you okay?
Yes. I'm fine.
We might be late for the movie. Let's go.
Okay.
I know women are so fickle, but this is too abrupt.
Isn't she a bit too much?
What are you doing there?
I have to close up the store. Come out.
Okay! I'm leaving!
What are you doing?
Your mother-in-law told me to burn these.
I've had enough.
I don't have to try to be a good person.
I don't have to feel guilty or ashamed.
Just give her tit for tat.
Four hundred thousand euros in case of Ireland,
a half million euros in case of Portugal.
So I can get permanent residency there if I buy a house worth that much money.
What are you hiding in haste?
Huh? Nothing.
Aren't you gonna call it a day?
I am.
We're supposed to have my birthday party tonight.
My secretary booked a nice restaurant. Let's have a great dinner.
Okay. Go ahead of me.
Aren't you coming with me?
I'll go home to pick up Chaewon.
Let her take a taxi.
I'll send Mr. Kim to pick her up.
No. I'll go pick her up myself.
It won't take long. Please go first.
Monkey man.
Okay.
Yes.
Seems you're leaving work early today.
Yeah.
No drinking tonight?
Geez. I'm not an alcoholic.
You got drunk and got ugly with me the other day.
Are you seeing someone?
I'm sorry?
Is he exasperating you?
You want me to talk with him?
What's wrong with her?
What brings you here?
Should I have a reason to come here?
What are you doing here instead of watching your store?
I shut down my business as of yesterday.
No wonder. Why would you sell trotters when there's $10 million inheritance?
It wasn't because of the inheritance.
I was going to shut it down due to my poor health and slow business.
Don't give me such a flimsy excuse.
So are you.
What?
You abhor our in-laws more than anything else.
And you get sick whenever you have to visit them.
But I heard you come here frequently these days.
What?
What are you doing there? Come in.
Yes, Mother.
Coming, Mother.
How dare.
- It's okay. I can help myself. - Come on.
You focus on the movie. I'll feed you. Here.
Gosh. You're irritating. I can eat it myself.
Don't feel sorry. I enjoy doing this.
You're so irritating. Just watch the movie.
I saw this movie with my students the other day.
It's less interesting the second time.
Then you should've told me that you already saw it.
How could I turn down you asking me out on a date?
I didn't ask you out on a date.
I just wanted to kill time.
Be quiet, please.
She sure is a woman, acting chippy. Okay, okay.
Whether it's a date or killing time, let's just enjoy it. Here.
No, I'm not gonna eat. You eat it all.
Come on. This is the last one.
I said no. Why do you keep on annoying me?
You can't leave in the middle of the movie. That'd be wasting money.
I'm so vexed!
Hey, Ms. Yang. Wait.
Ms. Yang. Ms. Yang!
You're really peculiar.
You shouldn't have left in the middle. That's a waste of money.
It's because you kept behaving indecently.
Indecently?
Why did you have to force me to eat popcorn?
I can sue you for sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment?
I only tried to accommodate you to focus on the movie.
What?
And I didn't grab your hands or grope your legs.
What makes you think I sexually harassed you?
Sexual harassment isn't limited to physical contact.
You made me feel forced, and that's sexual harassment!
So you mean, I aroused your desire?
Gee. Stop!
Mr. Khang?
Hi, Ms. Uhm. What are you doing here?
I'm supposed to meet my friend here.
What about you?
You are the wife of the utility pole guy. How do you do?
Wife of the utility pole guy?
What are you talking about? She's single.
Aren't you the utility pole guy's wife?
Utility pole guy?
Oh. I guess you mean my brother-in-law.
Oh, really?
I thought you were his wife.
So your sister is his wife.
Right. But she passed away 20 years ago.
What?
Is that true?
Thank you.
Please take this.
My children will arrive shortly. We'll order then.
Alright.
One of my college alumni runs a real estate business.
I met him today and got lots of info.
If Mother knows about this, she'll be extremely upset.
She needs to live without us so that she can realize your value.
I'm gonna push ahead with this no matter what.
You're happy with my plan, right?
But Mother won't approve.
Just trust me.
I'll protect you.
What's wrong? Do you have pain?
I have a headache.
Do you want to see a doctor?
No.
I'll be alright if I go home and rest.
Can you drop me off here?
Here? Why?
Mother is waiting for us.
I can go home by taxi. Just drop me off.
What are you talking about?
Her birthday dinner isn't important when you're sick.
Why are they so late?
Cholgyu? What's taking you so long?
Mom, we cannot come. Have dinner with Juri.
Why?
Chaewon has a headache.
We're going back to home. Sorry, Mom.
Hey. Cholgyu, Cholgyu!
Bastard.
Why is she sick all of a sudden?
Maybe the wicked wench put on a show to screw me.
By the way, why isn't Juri coming?
What?
Did you just say "what" to me?
Don't you know we have my birthday party tonight?
I'm sorry. Something urgent came up.
How urgent is it?
What the heck is more important than your mom's birthday?
Okay, Mom. See you at home.
Your mother?
Yes.
Maybe you need to go home. It could be an emergency.
No. It's nothing. Don't be mindful.
By the way, why did you burst into tears?
Something troubles you?
Seyoon...
I...
I've loved you for a long time.
Juri.
Before you fell in love with Eunseol, I had feelings for you.
Since then,
you've been the only love for me.
I brought medicine. Get up.
I feel better now.
How is Mother?
Guess she's having dinner with Juri.
Maybe you need to join them.
No. It's almost time for their return.
Yes, Hongshik.
You found the right place for me? Yes.
Yes. Okay then. I'll be right there.
Who is it?
Remember my friend I spoke about a while ago?
He found the right house for us,
so he asked me to stop by his office to take a look.
Will you be alright alone?
Yes. I feel better now.
I'll be right back.
Look at me.
What a lonely birthday party when I have two kids.
Indeed, a woman not blessed with a husband,
isn't blessed with children either.
Still, I'll take a bite off of my birthday cake.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were sick.
I shouldn't miss my mother-in-law's birthday party. Or you'll be sad.
Sad?
I wouldn't have a headache if I didn't see you.
You make me lose my appetite...
