[Episode 38]
Honey!
What are you doing here?
You must be exhausted from the contest.
So I came to comfort you.
This is for you.
Did it go well?
Put it away.
Chaewon.
Get off of me.
Let's go somewhere quiet.
Let go of me.
Let go! What's wrong with you?
You can date him over my dead body. Got that?
Let go! What's wrong with you?
Let go of me!
Get off of her.
She said no. Stop forcing her!
Are you okay?
Yes.
Who do you think you are to meddle in our domestic problem?
Domestic problem? You're divorced.
We'll be reunited soon.
Mind your own business and just go on your way.
You're a rude man.
Let's go in.
Yes.
Let her go or I'll call the police.
What the.
She treats Chaewon like her daughter-in-law.
Wasn't she eager to match Juri with her son?
Things are going awry. What am I gonna do?
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes.
Thank you for your help.
Guess you came to see Seyoon.
Excuse me?
Yes.
I came to see him too. Can you wait at the lobby?
I won't take long so I'll send him down.
Okay.
Mother!
Oh. You're leaving work?
Yes. Did you come to see Seyoon?
I have something to discuss with him.
When you're done, let's have dinner together.
I'm not feeling good today. Maybe next time.
It won't take long. Wait a little.
Yes. Don't worry about me.
I'll take a rain check, Mother!
What did you talk with her?
None of your business.
You little!
What brings you here?
Do you have a minute?
I asked Chaewon to wait for you at the lobby.
Did you meet her?
Why? Are you worried I might've been mean to her?
I wasn't mean to her.
Why didn't you tell me?
You...
You lost your palate, didn't you?
How did you know that?
I just met Seokjoon.
You should've told me about it.
Why did you keep it to yourself?
I didn't even know that and I...
I'm okay. Don't worry too much.
You're not okay.
I'm sorry, Seyoon. I'm really sorry.
It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself.
For the past 3 years, I ate, drank, and was marry unaware of it.
I don't deserve to be your mother. No, I'm not.
My condition isn't that bad. And I got used to it.
Seyoon.
Why are you crying?
What's the matter?
Honey.
Did you talk with your mother?
Is there something wrong?
She found out...
...that I've lost my palate.
She blamed herself for that and cried.
Guess you were sad too.
Are you okay?
Yes. I feel lighthearted though.
All these years, I was afraid she might find out.
Since a capable trainer like me trains your taste bud,
you'll recover your palate soon.
So just trust and follow me.
Yes, ma'am.
I was going to call you, Ms. Minn.
You're with her.
Yes. Did you get the result?
We just got it.
You're...
going into the finals.
Really?
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Kim!
I envy him.
You guys are reeking of alcohol.
Did you drink together?
Yes. I met him in front of my office and we drank.
Why did you drink?
You were supposed to date Chaewon.
I think we're done.
What do you mean?
His mom treated Chaewon like her daughter-in-law.
You mean Mrs. Yi?
She treated Chaewon like a daughter-in-law?
She's changed.
How?
She isn't as nice to me as she used to be. Very cold.
Yeah, right.
When I went to see her the other day, she treated me frigidly.
I think she succumbed to Chaewon.
No way.
My life is a mess! I'm going nuts!
How did Mrs. Yi change? Tell me in detail.
I don't know! Stop bothering me.
Gees.
How come my two kids are such a headache?
Blame my darn fate!
What's that?
What the heck is wrong with you?
It's suffocating! I feel like going crazy!
Did you drink?
Yes!
But I can't get drunk no matter how hard I try.
To escape this hellish situation,
I've tried everything, but I'm just spinning my wheels.
Nothing has changed.
Hellish situation?
The situation of you sticking to me like a leech.
The darn situation of drifting farther away from Chaewon!
I should've died after taking sleeping pills at that time.
I'm sick of my life!
Cholgyu! Calm down, calm down!
Calm down, Cholgyu.
It's all over. I don't want to live.
You still have your whole life ahead of you!
Is that what you can say before me?
I'm nothing without Chaewon.
I have no reason to live!
Look.
Everything will be solved if you leave us.
Why are you so unyielding?
How much more do you want to ruin his life?
We're home.
Welcome, Seyoon.
Congrats, Chaewon.
I'm proud of you.
Grandfather was very pleased.
Thanks, Mom.
Aren't they home?
They went out for a walk.
I came over for dinner. Can I eat with you?
Of course.
I'll pay for a meal in advance.
Wow, freesia!
How did you know it's my favorite flower?
Somehow I thought it'd suit you well.
Thanks. I'll let you have a good meal.
Thanks, Mother.
Your father came back.
Hi, Father. I came for dinner.
Are you a freeloader?
Oh, honey.
Seems it's true you're moving out.
How did you know?
Were you going to leave without a word?
Like in some song lyrics,
"Don't say goodbye when you leave"
How could you smile in this situation?
People meet and part every day.
We'll meet again if we're meant to.
How can you be so calm?
Was it my one-sided love?
You had no feelings toward me?
How many times should I repeat?
I've never had feelings for you.
Then why are you drinking?
I got exhausted from packing for moving,
so I'm drinking to go to sleep early.
That's a lie.
Why would I have leftover feelings for you when I bit the dust?
My ideal type is a rich woman who'd die soon.
Don't waste your time with me.
She's so bothersome!
You're a liar!
Yeah, I'm a liar.
How could I not love a woman like you?
I had a substantial meal.
Comfort your mother. She must be distressed.
Okay. Don't worry about me.
Prepare well for the finals tomorrow.
I'll be a judge in cold blood. I won't cut you any slack.
Gees.
I have no intention to pull strings.
You look disappointed though
What?
If you kiss here, I'll give you 10 extra points.
Here, plus 20 points. Come on.
Cut it out and just go.
Okay, bye.
See you tomorrow.
Take care.
Chaewon!
Aunt Dohee.
What are you thinking?
Why are you seeing Seyoon?
Cholgyu's mother is no match for his mother.
You'll lead a hard married life worse than before.
I'm prepared for that.
She really doesn't get it.
When Cholgyu is begging you to...
...come back, why would you want to take such a hard path?
What are you talking about?
I don't want to start over with Cholgyu.
Everybody can make a mistake.
He is not a mama's boy anymore.
And Ms. Bhang is determined to be nice to you.
Did you meet her?
Huh?
Well, I ran into her a few days ago.
She earnestly asked me to help him start over with you.
I'd rather die than start over with him.
Don't bring him up again.
Somebody came? Who's there?
Don't tell her that I was here. Bye.
Chaewon treated Cholgyu badly, so he fell into despair.
How distressed you must be.
It's a living hell.
By the way, Juri said Mrs. Yi looked favorable toward Chaewon. Is that true?
I know Solju. She won't accept Chaewon.
That's almost impossible.
It is, huh? Yes.
I'm counting on you for this matter.
Our fate lies in your hand.
Please take care of this matter. Yes. Thank you. Bye.
Hongju, come sit over here.
Do you want to get started with me?
You want to take this to the bitter end?
Don't underestimate me.
I'm more dreadful than I look.
If I'm determined to pull you apart from my son,
I can do anything.
Is that a threat?
I can get rid of you without a trace.
Oh yeah? You're going to lock me up somewhere?
What do you mean?
If you lay a finger on me, I won't take it lying down.
I'm not an easy mark like Chaewon.
If I leave here, I'll leave by my choice, not by your threat.
How dare she turn on her mother-in-law!
Such a spiteful wench!
Chaewon...
Don't go. Don't go, Chaewon.
Hongju, do you have to live like this?
When you're done, let's have dinner together.
I'm not feeling good today. Maybe next time.
It won't take long. Wait a little.
Yes. Don't worry about me.
Unbelievable.
She regarded me as the only match for Seyoon. But she changed her mind?
How did Chaewon win her over?
I'm back.
Were you with Chaewon?
Yes.
You must be tired. Go rest.
Mom.
Yes?
No, nothing. Good night.
Hello?
My mom changed.
How?
She used to get mad when I had a date with you, but today, she didn't.
I feel good about this.
What do you mean?
I'm sure she has a good feeling toward you.
Don't get your hope too high.
What's that reaction? I thought you'd be excited too.
I'm worried you might be disappointed later.
Yes. I believe you.
Now calm down, take a shower and go to bed.
Yes.
See you tomorrow.
Get off of her.
She said no. Stop forcing her.
Are you okay?
No. Don't count your chickens.
It's dried Pollack soup. Chase a hangover.
I'm going to work.
You finally made him go to work on an empty stomach.
So sickening. Cholgyu. Cholgyu!
The soup tastes good. It will cure your hangover.
I really can't understand you.
He dislikes you so much. Why would you hold out?
Where's your pride?
Mrs. Park's hangover soup is really good.
You'll regret if you don't eat.
You're so annoying.
Let's eat by ourselves.
Miss.
It'll be my last meal at this house.
Let's enjoy the meal.
Miss.
Your soup is amazing.
You are the best.
Seyoon.
Ready for the presentation?
I'll just perform my usual.
Sounds arrogant.
I might give you a zero for a bad attitude.
What?
Are you one of the finalists?
Yes.
She got the highest marks on the first and the third rounds.
Exclude Director Yi from the judging panel.
Why, Father? I mean, Mr. Chairman.
You lack the objectivity as a judge.
Don't you think he is too much?
You put on airs since yesterday. It serves you right.
What?
Excuse me.
This isn't how it's supposed to be.
We will now begin the final screening.
Each candidate will deliver a presentation on his/her own noodles.
First, Ms. Chaewon Minn.
Step up please.
I was inspired by my grandfather, a noodle artisan, in developing my noodles.
One of the downside of noodles is that they easily go soggy in soup.
I worked dough and pulled noodles by hand to improve such downside.
Total 34 hours of aging time increased the chewy texture...
...and removed flour smells.
Thank you.
For what?
When my children left us,
you stay with us and take care of us.
Father, how about telling them the truth?
Then they will understand you.
Later. Let's tell them later.
Okay. I'll honor your opinion.
You came back.
Lazy old woman. You chatted the time away.
Chatting is better than telling a lie.
Why are you sullen all day?
Look so ugly.
Stop picking on me.
Look at the way you talk.
Oh! Mr. Khang is moving out.
What?
I just saw him loading a moving truck.
I was sad when he said goodbye and bowed to the ground.
Keeok! Where are you going?
That brat. Where is she going in the middle of the talk?
All loaded. Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Ms. Uhm.
You can't leave like this.
Why can't I?
Mr. Khang...
Thank you for everything. So long.
That's all?
Is that all you can say to me?
Come on, let's go.
Okay. Just a sec.
I wish you marry a good guy and start a family.
I'm sure your daughter will be as pretty as you.
Good luck. Good bye.
- Let's go. - Okay.
What's wrong with her?
What are you doing? Get out of the way.
No! You can't leave!
You're not helping! Just get out of the way!
If you have to go, take me with you.
What? What if your family follows us? We'll be dead then!
I don't care. I will never let you go.
She's really breaking my heart.
This isn't right. Please stop and go back.
What the heck are you doing?
Over my dead body. I won't move an inch.
She's really impossible.
- Get up. Get up! - No!
I'm gonna lie here forever.
You can't go anywhere leaving me alone!
Mister, aren't we going? Is it go or no go?
This is nuts.
Seems like it's a rain shower.
I know. The weather forecast didn't call for it.
Noodles!
I'll call you when we find a house up for sale.
Please. We're desperate.
Okay. Take care.
Thanks.
Gee. A sudden shower?
I know.
Oh no.
Why?
Noodles in the yard.
Noodles!
Oh no.
What brings you here?
Of course we were worried about noodles in the yard.
There's no time to chat. Move them indoors.
Okay.
You were here?
Dohee.
Keemoon.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
It started showering while we were passing by.
So we just stopped by.
What a waste.
Thank you.
Don't mention it. Hurry, let's move them.
Have some jujube tea.
Thanks.
How come it stopped raining right after we took in noodles?
I know. I had sweat over my soles.
How's Father?
He's just been aching for you to come back.
Did he reconcile with Mom?
She keeps nagging him for having deceived you.
Now that you came, go in and say hi to your parents.
No.
Go ahead if you want to.
No.
I feel at home at the smell of flour.
Sometimes I feel like I'm hearing the sound of a machine.
Dohee, what are you doing?
My.
Why am I cutting the noodles?
In my eyes, they all became noodle artisans.
Let's go.
Okay.
You're going to your mother, right?
Yes. She'll blow me up but what can I do?
I'm worried about her.
You'll return to my dad's house, right?
Yes.
I've relied on you instead of my mom.
Thank you for everything.
Who is it?
What brings you here?
I have a favor to ask of you.
Thank you.
I'm flying to Paris tonight. My mom is there.
Cholgyu harped on about divorce.
I was going to screw him over like a leech,
but I signed the divorce paper because I hated all the despise.
What's your business with me?
Can you do me a favor?
Favor?
Cholgyu loves you deeply.
From the day we got married,
he loved you single-heartedly.
His heart and body have never been mine.
He's never opened his heart to me, never.
He was the second to none mama's boy but...
he has pure love. It was a shock.
Why are you saying it to me?
Please start over again with him.
What?
You know, though he's a mama's boy, he is good-natured.
He can't live without you.
He looks so desperate that I thought he might die,
so I came to see you
I know what you mean, but I don't want to.
And I have a boyfriend.
What's he gonna do? Poor Cholgyu.
I saw her this afternoon.
Who? Chaewon?
She came to the final round of judging.
I found her very upright and smart.
I did a background check on her. She's well spoken of.
Above all,
my father used to speak well of her family that they make noodles conscientiously.
Let's stop opposing Seyoon.
Honey.
No parents can beat their children.
What did we get afte the conflict three years ago?
The girl lost her life,
and our son lost his palate.
Everybody was hurt.
Let's not repeat such tragedy.
But Ms. Minn is a divorcee...
But Seyoon says it must be her.
Let's give him a chance and trust him.
It's been so long since we had a date like this.
I know.
You bragged as if you'd let me live in comfort before we married.
Such a fibber.
We can move out even now.
Really?
Then I'll meet a realtor for a new place right tomorrow.
Huh? Well...
I didn't mean we must move out but...
What? Did you sound me out?
No, it's not that.
Since you always clean up after the family, so I...
So you said it but I reacted senselessly, huh?
It's not that. I didn't just say it...
But as for now...
I'm just kidding. Why are you sweating hard?
You're so naive.
What a prankster!
Living as an orphan was like living in a roofless house.
You feel empty, restless...
You get snowed on and rained on when it snows and rains.
But now I have a roof called family.
Whether it's windy, rainy, or snowy, I have no fear.
I'm really happy and thankful.
So don't be sorry.
Every word you say is lovely.
People might see us.
So?
Who cares when I'm kissing my wife?
Honey.
Don't hate Seyoon.
The mere thought of him as my son-in-law makes me happy. Don't be mean to him.
You embarrassed him last night.
I like him too.
And I wish Chaewon can marry someone like him.
But what if he shakes her up and gives her up because of his parents?
He isn't that kind of man. I can guarantee.
How much do you know about him that you even guarantee?
I just can trust him.
And why meet trouble halfway?
Let's trust Seyoon and support them.
Why don't you answer?
I won't since I'm jealous.
You seem to like him more than me, so I'm jealous.
Oh come on. That's not true.
You're the only man for me.
Really?
Sure as shooting. Absolutely yes.
A little more to the right.
Yes, yes. Okay. Perfect.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Thank you.
What the heck is in your mind?
I'll take care of everything. Just trust and follow me.
If your family finds out, I'll be beaten up.
No one can dare to beat you up.
If they touch even one hair on you, I won't tolerate it.
You really want to take it this far?
Why not?
There's nothing wrong for us to fall in love.
That's true but....
It will be a start of war.
Brace yourself, okay?
Cheer up.
Is that true? Yes.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Of course. I'll certainly attend the award ceremony.
Yes. Thanks, bye.
You won the first prize?
Yes. I'm the winner.
Grandpa, our noodles won the first prize.
Good. I'm so proud of you.
Thank you for helping me.
So you'll be granted huge money as a reward, right?
Yes.
When you receive the prize money, treat me big.
Gees.
Don't forget me, okay?
Okay. I'll treat you big.
Why are you so busy all day?
I had some business.
Hey. Chaewon won the first prize at the contest.
Congrats, Chaewon.
Thanks.
You mean my husband will take the CEO seat?
Yes.
My goal is to generate a million dollars in sales within 2 years.
In order to do that, I need Uncle Keemoon who has a business mindset.
Maybe you have an absurd dream.
For the 2 years after we sign an OEM deal,
we'll be secured of distribution channels to supply our noodles.
If we grow our business on solid grounds,
I'm sure we'll be able to achieve our goal.
Absolutely. No big company was big from the start.
This is how you begin.
If he takes the CEO seat, what about us?
Please take charge of the management of the factory and production lines.
So to speak, you'll be the manager.
Manager?
First of all, devise a scheme on how to improve equipment...
...with the prize money of $200,000
You'll be the key figure of our factory.
Key figure? Sound good.
What about gain share?
The shares and profits of the factory will be split up evenly.
And I heard Aunt Keeok did best on sales.
So I'll entrust her with marketing and sales.
Where the heck is she?
You left home?
Ms. Uhm, this isn't right.
I'll walk you home. Let's go.
I won't go.
What? Are you saying you'll shack up with me or what?
What?
Are you crazy? What if your family finds out?
I'm not afraid. I don't care about anything.
Oh no. This is serious.
Forgive us for worrying you guys.
Though we left home in a fit of anger,
we always felt bad because of you guys.
We're not that crazy over money.
We only couldn't stand the feeling of betrayal.
It's an honor to be able to come back to the family business.
Good. I'm glad to have you back.
Thank you. I can sleep in peace from tonight.
Why don't you say a word?
Welcome back. Dismiss.
How dense.
He's become gaunt since I saw him last time.
Is he sick?
He has spring fever.
And he's been grieved after you left.
Anyways, thank you for coming back.
Can you set a drinking table?
Okay.
Sorry, Mom.
Can I make the bed for you? Would you like to lie down?
Thank you.
You've done a great job.
I won the contest because we have the best noodles.
It's you who saved the family business.
Thank you so much, Grandpa.
Is it true?
Yes. Your father wants to approve of you seeing her.
You agreed with me.
Right. I've given up.
You won.
Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Father.
Invite her to our home for dinner.
Sure I will.
Aren't you being too happy when I'm boiling inside?
She'll never disappoint you. She's a nice woman.
Okay. I'll trust you.
Did she go out?
What is this?
Like your mother said, I was going to suck blood out of you,
but I grew tired of it.
I'm walking away. Good luck with your Chaewon.
Oh. Thanks for the alimony.
Thank you. Thank you, Hongju.
I'll never forget your kindness.
Yes! Mom...Mom! Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Gee. What's all the fuss about?
Now it's over.
What's over?
Hongju signed the divorce paper and left.
What? Is this it?
Oh my!
What a surprise!
I thought she'd never leave you but she walked away on her own.
I feel bad about Hongju but I'm really happy.
Now I can breathe.
Boy. You should thank me for this.
Thanks, Mom.
I'll pull up my socks and make a fresh start with Chaewon.
Oh, Cholgyu.
I'm happy since you're happy.
Thank you, Mom.
I want to give you a back hug.
Oh, you rascal.
It's been so long since you gave me a back hug.
Hurray for Korea! Hurray for Cholgyu Kim!
Hail to my mom! Hail to Chaewon!
What is it?
What's the big news? What happened?
Do you have a heart pill?
Why?
I'm afraid you might faint from shock.
What is it? Just tell me.
Don't be shocked. Listen carefully.
My parents...
allowed us to date.
What's that reaction?
Aren't you surprised?
Aren't you happy?
Chaewon.
You must be kidding.
What?
That's impossible.
Nonsense.
Why can't you believe me? It's true.
Really?
Did they really allow us to date?
Yes.
If you're lying, I won't forgive you.
Gee. Believe me. It's true.
Really?
Is it really true?
How come a woman is this strong?
This isn't a dream, right? This is for real!
Chaewon!
What makes you so happy?
Let me join your laughter.
Thank you.
I'll wait till Seyoon comes home. You may go rest.
Yes. Good night, ma'am. Oh.
I got a letter for you this evening.
I forgot I kept it in my pocket.
A letter?
Yes.
Here you are.
Good night.
[Evergreen Orphanage]
What now?
To Agnes,
By the time you read this letter, I'll be in Heaven.
I wished you'd repent of your sin after receiving the anklet,
but since you even received this letter, I guess you haven't repented.
In case you disregard even this letter,
I asked Sister Michaela to send my secret diary...
...to Choonhee.
Send her diary to Choonhee?
