[Episode 16]
Stop the car.
Where the heck are we going?
Didn't you hear me? Where are we going?
To the end. We'll go to the end of the world.
What are you talking about?
I'll never let you go again.
I can even go to hell as long as I'm with you.
I barely escaped from hell and you're saying what?
If you want to go to hell, go alone.
Chaewon.
Why are you disturbing me when I barely got my life back?
Why do you have to bother me again?
Dealing with fish and mean customers is what you wanted?
Did you escape from me to live such a pathetic life?
Pathetic? Ha.
YOU are pathetic to hang onto your ex-wife.
You know I'm a mama's boy. I don't care.
What's wrong with you? Give it to me.
Give it back to me!
You're really!
Give back!
Did you just throw it away?
No one can disturb us.
Let's have time for the two of us alone.
We'll go back to the beginning.
Cut the crap and just stop the car.
Are you crazy? What's wrong with you?
The person you have reached is not available.
I'm leaving a message since I can't get a hold of you.
I have your document envelope.
You left it at the cafe.
Please call me when you get this message. Bye.
There are so many things to prepare for emigration than I thought.
Are the preparations going well?
My husband is taking care of everything.
Good.
My mother-in-law has changed.
Maybe she felt sorry about that incident. She's trying to be nice to me.
Why did she tell me a lie?
No news is good news. Seems everything's going well.
What is going well?
Of course your brother's blind date.
Oh.
Oh?
How can you be so indifferent to your only brother?
He's in great distress after his divorce. Aren't you sorry for him?
That's the outcome of your 3-year effort.
So, how's Chaewon doing?
How would I know?
By the way, I hope Cholgyu's date likes him.
I don't like a man of his type.
Brat.
I'll see what a perfect guy you'll bring home.
My boyfriend is the top bachelor in Korea.
You sound quite confident.
Oh no!
Why?
It's Mother.
Mother?
His mother.
Your boyfriend's mother?
What's wrong with your face? The makeup looks bad.
Cholgyu worried me last night so I couldn't sleep well.
No wonder my skin is rough and didn't take in the makeup.
So she's the one?
Be polite, be graceful. Don't talk much.
Brat.
Mother!
Juri!
I came to shop with my mom.
Mom, this is Mrs. Yi.
I heard a lot about you from my daughter.
Glad to meet you.
How do you do? Glad to meet you too.
I see Juri takes after her mother.
Oh, you're very generous with your compliments.
Meeting like this may not be a coincidence.
How about having tea with us if you don't mind?
Shall we?
I recently found out Juri has someone in her mind.
She is very prudent.
I guess she's spared words about him until she's convinced.
Right. The more I observe her, the more I find her thoughtful.
She was very considerate and right-minded since she was little.
Her nickname was 'Grownup Baby.'
I was widowed at a young age.
To support my children, I used to work around the clock,
and Juri and her brother...
She has an older brother.
Oh.
The two little children had to stay at home without their mother,
waiting for my return all day long...
Are you okay?
Thank you.
Tears keep coming to my eyes whenever I think of the past.
Mom.
She doesn't like me crying when talking about the past.
Maybe I'm old. I'm easily moved to tears.
Oh. You are a great mother.
Now we're better off than those days.
Once I marry her to a good man,
I think I can die without regret.
Mom, please stop.
I think I talked too much.
Please go ahead.
Thank you. Please.
By the way, has your mother met Seyoon?
No, not yet.
So your son's name is...
Seyoon. Seyoon Yi.
Oh, I see.
Maybe this is kind of destiny.
Somehow his name sounds familiar.
Now that we met like this, I think things will go smoothly.
People these days think of love and marriage separately.
But I'm kind of conservative,
so I can't accept such attitudes towards marriage.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned.
No, not at all.
I agree with you.
If we leave the matter to our kids, they might only waste time.
Now that we met like this,
how about we have them get engaged?
Oh, Mom.
We're not in that phase yet.
No?
I am a business woman,
so I tend to push things like a bulldozer.
That's why people call me...
My apologies if I rushed you.
A daughter's mother and a son's mother have different standpoints.
I understand.
It's natural that you're concerned about it.
Thank you so much for your understanding.
After you.
No. We'll leave after you.
Okay. Good bye then.
Good bye.
Let's have lunch or dinner together next time.
Sure. With pleasure.
By the way she's dressed and talks, I guess she's some mogul's wife.
Why don't you tell me now? Who's your boyfriend?
You'll pass out if you hear it.
Just tell me.
Really?
A good catch in the highest tier, right?
Hey! That's the uppermost stratum!
Hurray for Korea! Hail to Juri Kim!
Mom, people are watching us. Stop.
That's my daughter.
Hi, Ms. Koh! Did her mother call you?
What did she say? Does she like Cholgyu?
What? Didn't show up? Who?
Cholgyu?
Where on earth are we going? Stop the car.
We have a long way to go.
Here. Get some sleep.
What the heck are you trying to do with me?
This is kidnapping.
Right, I kidnapped you.
You didn't answer my calls or meet me.
I had no other choice but this.
What more business do we have?
We're divorced. We are strangers now.
You and Mom deceived me to get divorced.
Had I known the truth, I wouldn't have divorced you.
Don't be unreasonable.
I want to resolve our misunderstandings and start over again with you.
But I don't want to.
Stop the car.
No.
Then I'm gonna jump out of the car.
Do as you like.
I'll jump out of the car after you.
When I'm doing this, I'm ready to die.
I won't make a clumsy excuse.
Pardon me to hell.
It was our fault to believe my wife's nonsense.
Forgive us for the trouble we caused you.
We will compensate you enough.
Right.
I've never experienced such a terrible thing in my whole life.
This is a terror.
I'd better make it short. Let's go.
Where...?
Of course to the police station.
Come on, you only got a fracture on your arm.
You think I'm angry because of the fracture?
My pride was damaged more than my arm!
You stained my pride, the pure and faultless pride I've kept for 60 years.
I've never felt this humiliated before.
Don't take it too seriously.
This is caused by misunderstandings.
You want me to trace back how things came to this?
No words can justify our deeds.
Why don't we have some beer?
Yes. We'll treat you.
Where are you going?
I can't let it pass.
I'll go to the police and regain my honor.
Let go of me!
Mr. Khang. Mr. Khang...
Let go of me!
I've lived too long.
Now my daughter-in-law doubts that I had a love affair.
I wonder why God doesn't take my life!
I deserve to die. Please forgive me.
Do I look like a woman to have an affair with a younger man?
It's not that. Every clue led me to think that.
You know she leaps before she looks.
This isn't the first time, so please let it pass for your mental health.
I feel so ashamed to go around.
Leave me at that, you injured innocent Mr. Khang.
How resentful he must be.
Keechoon just called me.
Fortunately, Mr. Khang's arm wasn't seriously injured.
Just a minor fracture. He'll be alright in a few weeks with a cast.
Heavens.
Hi, Grandpa!
Hi.
Your father-in-law will get furious if he finds out. Keep your mouth shut.
- Of course. - Of course.
Have beer and relieve your feelings.
Life can be good or bad, right?
Ms. Yang!
What's the meaning of your smile?
It doesn't mean anything.
I just wondered how things ended up this way.
Dang.
Where are you going?
To the police station.
I will complain of an injustice...
to bring you guys to stern justice.
Come on, take it easy and sit down.
Please calm down and sit down.
Please, drink this up.
My doctor told me not to drink alcohol.
A glass of beer is okay. Please drink it up, bro.
Bro? I'm not your bro!
A strong friendship grows between men after they exchange punches, right?
Yes, he's right.
Just like Yubi, Guan Yu and Jangbi at the Peach Garden,
we will become sworn brothers at Cafe Opera.
Then is it gonna be called the Oath of Cafe Opera?
That's not funny at all.
Look.
Yes.
You're such a violent man.
I don't want to be brothers with you, so don't bother me.
Come on. Bro!
Stop being mad and let's bury the hatchet like real men.
Please.
My sincere apologies for my brother.
- Please forgive him. - Please...
They apologized enough. Let's get over it and have a drink.
You are older than them. Be generous.
Bro.
Have some fruit.
Isn't it good? Drink more.
Guess who I met while shopping at the mall today.
Who did you meet?
I ran into Juri's mother.
Juri's mother?
Yes. She gives out a good impression and looks warmhearted.
She makes other people feel at ease.
Didn't you say she runs a business?
Yes. So I thought she'd be very bureaucratic and cold,
but as I met her, I found her quite comfortable.
I think Juri took after her mother.
Oh.
Haven't you met her mother yet?
Father, I'm not that close with Juri yet.
I think her mother is a great woman.
She became widowed young and raised her children well,
and she also grew her business.
What kind of business does she do?
I couldn't ask in detail since it was our first meeting.
I can ask her later when we have lunch together.
Mom.
Please don't go ahead of me. I'm still thinking.
Please slow down.
Did she get my message yet?
Hello?
It's me.
Hi, Juri.
I ran into your mother while I was shopping with my mom.
My mother told me about it.
What did she say?
Huh?
What did she say about my mom?
She said your mother looked kind and warmhearted.
Really? Did she really say that?
You are making me deaf.
Why make a fuss about nothing?
Nothing? I've been nervous all day.
I passed through the first hurdle, and I can sleep well tonight.
Juri.
Sorry, I overdid it. I'll be more careful.
The person you have reached is not available.
Half-wit.
What the heck is he doing with his phone tuned off?
Mom! Mom!
My head is splitting. Stop making a fuss.
I just spoke with Seyoon. He said his mother liked you.
Hang it.
You think she's a judge to pass me or what?
How could you put it that way?
You've treated me like some trash since a while ago.
Were you that ashamed to introduce me to her?
Mom.
You looked all nervous and gave me eye signals as if I was making mistakes.
You treated me like a complete idiot.
Why are you so sensitive? It's not like you.
Don't.
I only have two children, right?
But one treats me like an idiot,
and the other went into hiding and frets my gizzards.
I'm so burned up!
You still didn't get hold of him?
Is your head for some decoration?
If I had got hold of him, why would I wait for his call all evening?
Use your head and think!
Why are you taking it out on me?
Where the heck is he?
Where are we?
This is my friend's vacation home.
So why are we here?
I want to spend a night with you here, talking about us.
I want to start over again with you.
This is a remote place. No neighborhood.
You'll have to walk down for 2 hours to take a bus.
And the last bus left an hour ago.
Whether you like it or not, you should stay with me tonight.
Don't be stubborn.
Aren't you hungry?
I'll prepare dinner. Get some rest on the couch.
Come on, doing this doesn't change anything.
Let's go back. Please?
I'll make military stew for dinner.
Wait a little. I'll cook the rice first.
Cholgyu.
You must be cold.
Wait a little.
Not on this bus either? She's late.
The person you have reached is not available.
Something happened to her?
When I was little, Juri and I stayed home while our mom worked outside.
We used to make food with all we had in the fridge when we were hungry.
Juri didn't like my food but I really liked it.
If my mom hadn't opposed, I would've become a cook.
I regret it sometimes.
No. I wouldn't have been able to meet you then.
Maybe it would've been better for you, huh?
Thanks.
Thanks, honey.
I beg you. Let's go back. Please?
My dad must be waiting for me at the bus stop.
I worried him enough. I don't want to worry him again.
Cholgyu...
Tell him that you cannot go home tonight.
Cholgyu.
Don't say unnecessary things and make him worry.
Tell him that you'll sleep out for some reason.
Do you really have to do this?
Dad, it's me.
Chaewon? Where are you?
One of my coworkers was bereaved, so we came out of town.
My phone? The battery is dead.
I'm with my coworkers and we'll go back to Seoul tomorrow morning.
Don't worry about me. Good night.
I don't want anybody to disturb us.
Dinner is almost ready. Let's eat.
Seems she went away.
She must be tired from working all day long.
Who is it?
Choonhee!
I'm really irritated.
Can you come over here right away?
What's the matter?
Hyodong.
What's the matter? What happened?
Since you drank together, I thought everything went well.
But he keeps threatening me since a while ago.
Are you threatening her?
Don't think you can stop my mouth with a few drinks.
My broken arm isn't an issue. The issue is my injured pride!
I think I fell into severe depression.
Tears keep coming to my eyes and the anger's rising in me.
I think I need psychotherapy.
Come on.
It's too petty of you to fall into depression over such trifles.
Petty? Trifles?
It's easy to criticize others, huh? Fine, forget about it.
I don't need to deal with you.
Where are you going?
I'm going to Mom and tell her about the beginning of all these problems.
Why would I suffer depression from a bum rap?
There he goes again. I'm sick of it.
Please calm down.
What should we do to relieve your anger?
Tell us.
I want a helper.
- Helper? - Helper?
I'm living alone and my arm is broken.
I can't cook, I can't clean, and I can't wash myself.
I need a helper to look after me and do house chores.
Helpers are expensive.
Seems you're bent on sweating Hyodong.
Look.
Don't you think you're going too far?
My arm is broken. Why can't I sweat him?
The pain gets worse when I'm having an attack of nerves.
My.
People might think you caught a fatal disease.
Are you gonna keep provoking me?
Fine!
Okay, okay.
I will get a helper for you tomorrow.
Why waste money?
Don't make a promise.
Then what should I do?
If I don't, he'll go tell on us to my mother-in-law.
Bingo.
You're so cheeky.
That's it.
I knew your mouth would cause a disaster someday.
How could you imagine such vulgar things?
I told you. Every clue made me think that.
Even so!
Does my mother look like a woman to have a love affair?
Everybody can have a love affair.
Also, she kept talking about divorce.
Now that she has $10 million, I thought she had feelings for another man.
Then will you cheat on me if you have $10 million?
Of course not!
Anyways, watch your mouth from now on.
Don't poke into others' business without knowing.
Okay.
Let's toast to the valor of Heir Keechoon Uhm.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Why?
It's about Dohee. Her crest fell and she's like this all evening.
You should've seen her.
Boreum is listening.
Cover your ears for a minute.
For all her pain and $150,000 donation, her big mouth blew a good chance.
That's why you should also watch your mouth.
Rein your tongue.
Don't worry.
I know a terrible secret and my mouth is tight.
Terrible secret? What's that?
You told me to rein my tongue.
It's just between us.
What's that terrible secret?
If I open my mouth, it'll turn the whole family upside down.
That makes me even more curious.
What is it? What is it, honey?
It's about Hyodong.
What about him?
What?
Really?
Cheers.
The person you have reached is not available.
How come I can't reach him all day?
Where the heck did he go with that nice attire?
What are you doing now?
I've never been this regretful all my life.
I regret that I didn't trust you till the end,
I regret that we didn't board an airplane and leave the country,
and I regret I signed the divorce papers with my darn fingers.
More than anything else,
I regret that I was born as my mom's son.
Everything is just regretful.
Honestly, when I divorced you,
I thought I'd be alright since I'm popular among women.
I thought it wouldn't be hard long.
But I was wrong.
Time after time, I got to miss you more.
Please stop!
Please forgive me.
What should I do to get you back?
Whatever you say, we cannot go back to the beginning.
But we loved each other once. That's why we got married.
Let's go back to those days.
I will try really hard.
Don't make me feel miserable anymore.
You took me here by force,
and by doing so that, you trampled on me again.
Chaewon.
Listen carefully.
No matter how you threaten me,
I don't want to start over again with a hopeless mama's boy.
I was so upset and I was too much.
I'm sorry.
I know you're impulsive but you really embarrassed me today.
Enough is enough.
You know better than anyone else that this won't do.
You must be tired from tension all day. Get some sleep.
I'll wake you up when we get there.
Are we already there?
Where are we?
Weren't we supposed to go back to Seoul?
What's wrong with you?
What do you think you're doing?
Cholgyu, what's wrong with you? Stop the car!
What are you trying to do? What the heck are you thinking?
I'll ask you for the last time.
You really have no intention of starting over again with me?
Cholgyu!
I won't ask you twice.
Think carefully before you answer.
I told you. I don't want to start over again with you.
You won't regret your words?
No.
If you really don't want to,
let's die together.
I have no reason to live!
Are you threatening me now?
It's not a threat.
I definitely mean what I say.
I really can't live without you. I want to give up.
So you mean we should die together?
I told you, we'll go to the end of the world.
You decide. Start over?
Or finish here?
Tell me!
Let's finish.
I'd rather die here than go back to the beginning with you.
Let's die. Finish it.
Chaewon.
Go ahead!
Cholgyu! Cholgyu!
Please don't do this! Please calm down!
Let go of me! I don't need anything!
Please don't.
I beg you. Don't be emotional. Try to be rational.
Doing this won't help anything.
Aren't we strangers? None of your business!
Please, Cholgyu!
What's the use of living like this? I'm sick of everything!
I don't need anything!
Chaewon...
Chaewon.
Chaewon, wake up.
Chaewon!
She's too much.
She can at least text me if I left a message.
Is she intentionally avoiding me in shame since I caught her lieing?
Mother, you are up early.
If you were me, could you stay in bed in disgrace?
Then should I kneel and raise my hands till you relent towards me?
You think I'm joking?
Mom, Mom.
Treat us out.
What?
What an able Mom I have.
So how much younger is he than you?
You are a true cougar.
Hey.
Stop making fun of me.
The person you have reached is not available.
She didn't charge her phone?
I wonder if she ate breakfast.
Good morning.
I think better of you from yesterday.
What do you mean?
So you're making progress with Ms. Yang, huh?
Hey!
People might hear you.
Who told you?
Of course my wife.
She took Choonhee's clothes and jewels on condition that she'd keep it a secret.
I didn't know she's a big mouth.
Don't be shy. I understand you.
You're not a monk.
My sister passed away 30 years ago. Feels like it's a bit late.
How far did you go with her?
Do you need my support?
No thanks.
I guess you made progress. Did you kiss her?
Hey!
So you kissed her!
Good morning, Mother.
Hello?
Hyodong, can you come over to the rooftop house?
Why? Something happened?
What's wrong?
Your left hand is completely okay.
Why do you need me to wash your face?
I do want to wash my face myself, okay?
Wash behind the ears, too.
This is really unpleasant.
That's why I asked you to get me a helper. Stop nagging.
Why should Hyodong waste his hard-earned money on you?
What a virtuous woman you are.
Don't just run water over my face. Wash it thoroughly.
You can't just wet my face since it's not yours!
Oh, I'm really sick of him.
Hyodong.
What are you doing?
He kept asking me to wash his face, so I'm washing him.
You disgusting jerk!
Are you making a pass at her?
What are you talking about?
Having her wash my face isn't making a pass at her!
You can use your left hand!
I'm right-handed and I can't do anything with my left hand.
But I saw you scratching your back with your left hand.
Dang!
Where are you going?
Of course, I am going to your mother-in-law.
Gee. That again.
I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Choonhee, leave us alone.
We don't want his dirt rubbing off on us, right?
Just ignore him.
I said, leave us alone!
Okay.
Hyodong, don't use violence.
Do as you'd like. I have nothing to fear.
Sit down.
Huh?
You didn't finish washing your face. Sit down.
So you mean, you will wash my face?
Why? You don't want it?
Forget it. I'll wash myself. Gosh.
I can wash with my left hand.
I'm good, huh?
You may leave.
So cheap and nasty.
Thanks for gathering here.
You learned basic knowledge about noodles until yesterday.
The real competition will begin tomorrow.
So I prepared something.
Hyodong!
Coming, Father.
What's that?
You'll be given a different assignment for each round of the competition,
and I will give marks when you complete each assignment.
So you will use the same format we saw in Dae Jang Geum?
Not exactly but yes, it'd be similar.
Now it feels like we're really in the race.
How many assignments are there?
It's up to me.
Are we gonna compete throughout the year or for a few months?
It's up to me.
Will the marks be the only factor you'll decide a successor with?
It's up to me.
He can follow his own whims.
Let him do as he likes. He wants to steal the show.
Hey.
Now snap into the competition. Good luck.
Aren't you going to enter the competition?
No. I have many things to take care of.
Why? Is it because of Chaewon?
That, too.
I asked him to sell the land in part and help Chaewon, but he ignored me.
There's no grandfather stingier than you.
Miss Kim, any messages from the CEO?
I see. Let me know when you hear from him.
Even absent from work? Where on earth is he?
Is he with Chaewon?
Maybe that cunning wench is trying to shake him up.
Something happened to her?
Her phone was turned off since yesterday.
I have a bad feeling.
This is a list of charity organizations that we'll support.
Thanks.
Mr. Yi.
Seyoon?
Huh? Oh...
What are you thinking about?
Where are you going?
Sorry, I have an urgent business.
Leave it there. I'll go over it after I come back.
What's wrong with him?
Hi. How can I help you, sir?
Can I see Ms. Chaewon Minn?
Oh that pretty part-timer? She didn't come to work today.
Is it her day off?
No. Yesterday, a man abruptly showed up and took her out.
She's out of contact since then.
A man?
Yes. A man dressed up in a suit took her by force.
She didn't come to work without even calling.
I didn't know she was so irresponsible.
Ha. Factory? This gutted building?
Is this a joke?
I'm saying this just out of concern.
You see in the movies,
bad people resort to conspiracies and tricks to ruin heroines.
Let's not play foul. Let's play fair and square.
Just mind your own business.
By the way, where are all the men?
Father took them to the bathhouse
so that they can purify themselves before the competition.
Hello?
Is someone here?
Hello?
Hey, look. Isn't that Chaewon's mother-in-law?
I think so.
Right.
More female workers? Seems their business is not bad.
Female workers?
Watch your language.
Aren't you employees here?
We are Chaewon's aunts.
Me too.
Oh.
It's been so long since we've met at their wedding.
Excuse me.
You have some nerve to come here.
What do you mean?
This is Chaewon's home ground.
How dare you come here when you did nameless horrors to our niece?
You are so rude.
I can come anytime I want when I have business with her.
I have nothing to be ashamed of!
You're really shameless as I've heard.
Shameless? Watch your mouth!
You framed an innocent girl and kicked her out empty-handed.
If I were her mother, I would've finished you early on!
You should thank us for not reporting you to the police.
What ignorant women they are!
Shoot. I don't want to talk with you.
Chaewon... Tell her to come out right now!
Why do you need to see her?
What more evil things do you have to do to her?
How dare you thrust your fist into my face?
I can even twist your legs when I think of how you mistreated her!
Absolutely!
Right!
You got no manners toward an elder? What do you think you're doing?
How dare you!
You brazen-faced woman!
Are you crazy?
Yes, I am!
My only granddaughter was mistreated and got divorced.
How can I remain sane?
Mother!
What bad luck!
She really needs a lesson.
Let's teach her some manners!
Chaewon...
Honey.
Honey?
Chaewon.
What the heck did I do? I'm sorry, honey.
Wake up, Chaewon.
My phone. Where's my phone?
I'll ask my mom to come. Hang in there.
A family full of hoodlums. What bad luck.
What are you doing here?
Guess you've kept in touch with Chaewon ever since, huh?
You even come to her parent's house?
Did you promise each other your future?
I guess you came to see her but she isn't home.
My son also went into hiding since yesterday.
My guess was right. They eloped together.
I don't understand what they're thinking.
I'll put my son under control. Please take care of Chaewon.
Cholgyu? Where are you?
Seems Chaewon is very sick but I can't go in this state.
Can you go take care of her? Thank you.
Chaewon! Open your eyes.
Chaewon!
Are you okay? Can you recognize me?
Don't worry. I'll take you to the hospital.
Who the heck are you?
You bastard.
How did you come here?
Put her down.
It's cowardly of you to have done this to her!
Are you in your right mind?
