Goodbye.
What are you doing here?
I just stopped by to see how you're doing.
You're busy. Just ignore him and go.
I'll leave after seeing you go in. Go in.
Okay.
What a lovely brother and sister.
Brother and sister? What are you talking about?
Well... I wonder what that means.
I'm just saying you guys look friendly.
Never mind.
Cut it out and just go.
Wait. You really look alike.
No. That'll be an exaggeration.
What are you trying to say?
Heaven helps those who help themselves, indeed.
I'm sure God was moved by my single-heartedness.
I'm overwhelmed with many emotions.
Why did you come here again?
I felt so happy that I couldn't just go home.
Keep the secret.
Rein your tongue, or you'll be in trouble.
Zip your mouth.
Okay, okay.
I was just about to leave.
Bye.
See you later.
Bye.
I'll get going.
I should get going. Bye.
Okay. See you later.
Aunt Dohee.
Yes? Why?
What did you talk about with him?
Well, nothing. It's been a long time so I just said hi.
Mom! Mom! Mom!
What's the fuss about?
I think I can have Chaewon back.
Surely God favors me.
What do you mean?
It's a top secret.
Anyways, she'll come back, so be prepared.
Did she say she'll reunite with you?
Yes. She will. She has no choice.
No choice? Please tell me so I can understand.
Don't try to know too much. That's it for today.
Hurray for Cholgyu Kim! Hurray for Ms. Bhang!
What's wrong with you? Oh, boy.
What is it?
I think you're the one who should take the medicine.
You don't look so good.
Is there anything troubling you?
No. There's nothing.
Father, why don't you admit into the hospital?
It's bearable. So I'm thinking...
...we'd better set the wedding date for Chaewon soon.
Pardon?
I cannot live much longer.
I want to see her get married before I die.
Discuss with Mrs. Yi and set the date.
I'm back.
Did you drive Chaewon home?
Yes.
Did you meet her mother?
No. I had business to take care of, so I dropped her off and left.
Oh.
I'll go upstairs.
Okay.
Mom.
Do you know?
Know what?
The whereabouts of Mrs. Minn's son.
What are you talking about?
Didn't you both give birth to a son on the same day?
Who told you that?
Mrs. Minn told me when I had dinner with her.
Seems Chaewon doesn't know about it, so I'm just curious.
Choonhee's son died right after the birth.
Died?
Yes.
She lost her husband in a car accident,
...and she even lost her baby.
She went totally mad. She was completely deranged.
I didn't imagine she could start a family again.
She's always cheerful, so I didn't know she had such painful past.
Excuse me. I need to go to bed.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Why did you divorce?
My ex-husband couldn't make a living...
...and we had our differences.
I see.
Are you disappointed?
My heart breaks at the thought of your heartbreak.
I'm not disappointed.
Every single word out of him sounds classy.
I'm so moved.
I didn't know your family runs a noodle business.
Wasn't your father a barber?
Barber?
He was.
But he went broke and then succeeded his father's business.
Really?
Bongsoo, get going.
No. I'll leave after seeing you go in.
No. You go first.
Let's decide by doing rock-paper-scissors.
Oh, you're so childish.
Okay.
Rock, paper, scissors!
Yeah! I won!
Now, you go first.
Should I?
I really hate to go but I guess I have to.
Good night, sweetheart.
What are you doing here?
Oh my gosh! You scared me!
Woman! Where were you all day long?
Look, Mr. Uhm. My name is Gangsook Ghong.
Don't call me woman!
I'm not your wife. We got divorced last winter.
What makes you so confident?
Huh? You're all dolled up.
Are you having an affair?
Watch your mouth!
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Who would have an affair with you?
You should thank me for living with you.
What?
Come in!
How can he be so unclassy?
He can't stand in comparison with Bongsoo.
Mrs. Yi was sick in the afternoon and now it's Mom.
I'm worried about them.
Don't keep it to yourself. Listen to me.
Tell me where he lives, and I'll go bring him.
What are you talking about?
Huh?
Well...
How can I put it... You have an older brother.
Brother?
In fact...
Please, don't.
What's the big deal? She'll find out anyway.
In fact, your mom has...
Please stop.
Okay.

Good job! You're great!
Thanks, honey.
Here you are.
Let's call it a night.
Too much practice can make your voice hoarse.
It's okay. Let's go one more time.
You're a practice mania.
I'll make it big and let you live in the lap of luxury...
...and make your family acknowledge me.
Even if you don't make it, you're still the best for me.
I'll do my best not to disappoint you ever.
I'm completely blinded by love so don't worry.
- One more? - Yes, here you go.
Mom! Mom! Mom!
What's the fuss about?
Take a look.
- - What's this?
I'll send a video message to Chaewon.
Raise your right hand and swear.
Gee, take it off!
Hey.
What's the big fuss in the middle of the night? An oath?
What does it say?
One. I, Youngja Bhang, swear that if Chaewon Minn is reunited with my son,
...I will let them move out and I will be nice to her?
Two. I, Youngja Bhang, swear that...
...I will visit them once a month and...
...will never meddle in with their life.
What the heck is this?
You need to reassure her so that she can change her mind.
So are you telling me to swear an oath?
This is a very critical moment. It's now or never.
Critical moment?
It's...
I can't say it now. I need your cooperation.
I feel so dirty and cheap.
Do I even have to swear an oath to bring her back?
Unless you want me to grow old and die alone, please help.
Blame my fate. What do you want me to do?
Raise your right hand.
And read it with total sincerity.
With the right hand raised?
Alright. Here we go.
Ready? Action!
No parents ever persuaded a determined child.
Cholgyu thinks of you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
I'm doing this since he kept pestering me.
But you're cruel.
He did his best. Isn't it about time you take him back?
How long will you hold out?
Do I really even have to do this?
Cut! Cut! Mom!
Mom has something tell you. Listen carefully.
Hi, Chaewon!
My Oath.
One. I, Youngja Bhang, swear that...
...if Chaewon Minn rejoins my son,
...I will let them move out and will be nice to her.
Two. I, Youngja Bhang, swear that...
...I will visit them once a month and...
...will never meddle in their...
This again?
Yes, honey.
Can't you stop doing this every night?
I'm doing this because I miss you so much.
Listen.
My mom readily agreed to take the shoot.
She's really determined to be the best mother-in-law.
You have no pride?
Why are you holding onto someone that doesn't want you?
We're almost there.
You cannot marry Seyoon anyway.
What do you mean?
I mean...
Well, real men shouldn't be big mouths.
Wait and you'll see.
Is there a secret I don't know about?
I can't tell anymore.
I'll stop here for tonight. Good night, honey.
Hello? Hello?
What on earth is going on?
Why is she still up?
Another one million bucks on ad?
Image-making and raising brand awareness...
...is a good investment in the long term.
We overspent to meet the purchase cost.
Don't you think you're expanding too much?
You reviewed the sales figures. Our Green Noodles sell like T-shirts.
Yes, but it costs too much.
We must devote our resources into this to catch up with Seyoon's company.
We can't back out now.
Okay. I'll get a loan from the bank.
Since I stole their new product ideas, they're out of wits.
I'm gonna crush Seyoon and his company.
So, what was the urgent business about?
I'd like to make a technical partnership with you.
Technical partnership?
Yes. We'd like to sell your Premium Noodles...
...as our main item for the second half year.
My Premium Noodles?
Yes.
Since your factory is a small scale, in order to secure a supply,
...I suggest we sign a technical partnership.
What's that?
If we establish a partnership, our factories can produce your noodles.
Instead, we'll pay royalties for sales of your noodles.
That's amazing! Isn't it?
Yeah. I've never dreamt about it.
By combining your skills and our system, we can create a win-win result.
Let's sign the papers!
Ma'am, it's your friend. Should I let her in?
Who is it?
Let her in.
Yes, ma'am.
What brings you here?
We need to finish what we were talking about.
Look!
Yes, ma'am.
Can you go to market?
Yes, ma'am.
Let's have a seat.
You don't look so good.
It's a miracle that I didn't go crazy and came to see you.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I thought you would tell Seyoon the truth.
Are you thankful that I kept it a secret?
You've got it all wrong. Why should I keep it a secret?
After I torture and drive you to a nervous wreck, I'll let it out.
You should pay the price. It's not fun if I let it out too soon.
You're cruel.
Cruel? Did you say I'm cruel?
You stole my son and made me live in pain and guilt. Who's cruel? Me?
Are you insane?
How are you?
Welcome.
Is Mrs. Yi in?
Yes. I'm going to market.
Okay. Take care.
I'd better tell everything to Seyoon.
I can't live in this pain anymore.
I've lived in pain for 30 years.
Your pain for just a few days is nothing compared to mine.
Choonhee.
I'll tell my son myself. So please don't say anything.
If there's a reason you can't be together, will you give him up?
I know how you feel.
But if you really care for him, wouldn't it be better to bury it?
What?
If you reveal that you're his real mom,
...the marriage talk will go up in smoke,
...and it'll only hurt the kids.
Seyoon is your son, but Chaewon is also your daughter.
You're so clever, aren't you?
Now you're using Chaewon to shut me up?
That's not what I meant.
Don't be emotional. Listen to me.
I'm not using your daughter.
I'm saying it after much consideration.
And this is what you came up with?
What would we get out of telling the truth about Seyoon?
It'll only hurt the kids.
How shameless of you.
So you want him to continue to call you his mom...
...when you stole him away from me?
If you don't like me staying near him, I'll leave abroad.
You can live with him. Please, Choonhee.
Cut the crap!
Don't be emotional. Be rational.
Stop that nonsense!
I'll get my son back no matter what.
So don't get your hopes up.
Chaewon.
When did you come in?
Excuse me.
Chaewon, Chaewon!
Now it's over. It's over.
It's all over.
Chaewon! Chaewon!
We need to talk.
You must be shocked. Are you okay?
I had a feeling something was going on with you...
...but how could this be possible?
I'm sorry.
It's because I was so foolish.
I really can't understand.
I can't believe it.
Chaewon!
Chaewon, wait!
Hello. I'm here.
Hey! You can't come here anytime you want.
You didn't answer the phone, so I came.
Maybe I couldn't hear it because of the machines.
So, what brings you here again?
Someone's at the door?
Yes. It's the shipping company.
You can't barge in on us like this.
If Uhm brothers find out, they're gonna beat you up.
If they know the truth, they'll be on my side.
I said it's a top secret.
Didn't my mother-in-law say anything yet?
Like what?
What else? A bombshell like, "Seyoon is my son!"
People might hear you.
Zip your mouth!
Okay. I will.
By the way, isn't Chaewon supposed to cry over a break-up by now?
Why is it so quiet?
You're so... It'll happen soon.
Can't you be patient?
I'm just getting anxious.
I'm ready to take her back. A minute feels like three years.
I trust you only.
Stop putting the pressure on me.
You are the only one on my side in this family.
Blame my loose tongue.
I shouldn't have shared the secret with you.
Listen. Never ever tell anybody Mrs. Minn is Seyoon's real mom, okay?
Okay. Don't worry.
I'll keep my mouth shut.
I cried for three days at the news of your marriage.
After you dumped me, I tried hard and succeeded.
I'm sure he didn't get over me yet.
If he did, he wouldn't have bought me a romantic lunch.
And he even walked me home.
Oh my gosh!
Can't you knock?
Do you knock when you enter your room?
What is it?
What were you doing that you were so startled?
You're hiding something from me, eh?
Hiding what?
You got some cash, right?
You're so petty.
Nevermind then.
I felt so stuffy in dress suits.
We signed a technical partnership with Seyoon.
Oh.
We'll receive royalties for the sales of our noodles.
What's gotten into her?
Honey!
Huh? What?
Nothing.
Filled with dreams
Trying wouldn't do any harm

Cut!
What's wrong with his voice?
I told you not to let him sing at the nightclub.
He didn't.
Then why is his voice hoarse?
I think it's because he practiced too much yesterday.
Can he eat a raw egg and resume?
Okay. Let's take a break.
Yes.
Are you okay? Would you like one more?
What lovebirds you are. How did you meet each other?
I'm her first love.
First love...
My first love was your sister.
My sister?
Yes. Gangsook Ghong.
She was my first love in my high school days.
Who's Gangsook Ghong?
Boreum's mom.
Really?
You have unique taste in woman. She's like a bulldog.
I had a date with her yesterday.
We had lunch with wine.
You had a date?
It's lovely outside. Why are you staying in bed all day?
You can go play chess or have a drink with your friends.
Isn't it stuffy to stay indoors all day?
Not interested.
What? I think I should take you to a hospital.
Why?
You get worse day after day. I'm afraid something's wrong with you.
I'm healthy so don't worry.
What are you gonna do about Keeok?
Don't even bring her up.
She rejected her family for that old man. Such a bad girl!
They already registered their marriage. What can we do now?
You were furious too. Why did you change your mind?
It's no use crying over spilt milk.
It's her life, so what can we do?
Over my dead body.
I won't accept him as my son-in-law.
Does my dad know about it?
Yes.
He knows I have a son,
...but he doesn't know Seyoon is the one.
I see.
Chaewon.
If...
If I reveal that Seyoon is my son...
If I do that...
...then you and Seyoon will become...
Must you do that?
There's no other choice?
I'm so scared.
Chaewon.
But Seyoon is your only flesh and blood.
I'm sorry, Chaewon.
I didn't know I'd get in your way.
I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.
Is it Seyoon?
Answer the phone.
Hello?
Where are you?
I'm taking a walk with my mom. Why?
Can you visit our factory with me?
You developed Premium Noodles so I want you to check the samples.
Now?
Let's go in.
This is Ms. Chaewon Minn, the developer of Premium Noodles.
How do you do?
We've made the first sample noodles as instructed.
Good. Can you show us in?
What are you thinking so hard?
Chaewon!
Yes?
You're so quiet all the way back from the factory.
Is something wrong?
No. Nothing.
Seyoon.
My mom likes you very much.
I know. She looks at me so affectionately.
What's that reaction? I'm embarrassed.
You know her son I brought up the other day.
Her son?
He died right after the birth.
Your mother went through a lot because of it.
Did your mother tell you that?
No. I heard it from my father.
She bore a son in the same place, on the same day I was born.
I guess I remind her of her son.
When I marry you, I'll play her son, too.
I promise.
How are you, Mother?
Hi.
We came straight from the factory and we didn't eat.
Could you give us dinner?
Of course. Give me a minute.
Hi, Seyoon.
Hi. I came for dinner.
You're sponging off of us. I'll charge you a bag of rice.
Yes. As you please.
Let me say hello to Grandparents first.
Grandfather, Grandmother, I'm here.
Boy, he's got some nerves.
Chaewon, are you sick?
Sorry?
You look pale.
I'm fine.
I'll go get changed.
I've come this far but... What do I do?
You made bean paste stew again.
Sorry. It's all I can cook.
That's okay. Bean paste is good for health.
Pickled radish.
We ran out of kimchi. Sorry.
That's okay. It's been so long since I tasted pickled radish.
Let's eat.
Is it salty?
It's okay. We can add water.
Now it's perfect.
Taste it, honey.
It's tastier since you're feeding me.
Look at you.
What brings you here?
Come and join us.
What a sight. Only one side dish?
Why need more side dishes?
One look at my honey, one spoonful of rice.
One spoonful of rice, one look at my honey. I already feel full.
You're impossible. How can you say that in this situation?
Her parents are having a nervous breakdown.
Sorry, I was thoughtless.
Why did you come and give him a hard time?
We didn't come to give him a hard time.
We brought side dishes and kimchi.
Here.
Wow, radish kimchi! It's been so long!
Looks delicious!
You think we brought it for you?
We were worried about Keeok so we brought it.
Don't touch the food.
You're being so cheap and nasty over food!
Honey, I'm okay. You eat a lot, honey.
"Honey, honey." Giving me goosebumps.
If you keep being this way, I won't stand still.
What do you mean?
Mr. Bongsoo Kim of Sugar Entertainment.
Who is he?
Well, he is the president of the record company I signed a contract with.
Please help yourself.
Eat some side dishes.
Chaewon doesn't feel good so she has no appetite.
She feels sick? How come?
Guess she got car sick. She didn't look good on the way back home.
Did something happen this afternoon?
No. The soup is getting cold. Go ahead.
Yes. Thanks, Mother.
I can't eat if you stare at me like that.
Sorry.
Just the sight of me eating is enough to make you happy?
Yes.
Do you like the food?
I'm sorry, Mother, but....
...I lost my palate so I don't know how it tastes.
I'm sorry I can't appreciate your food.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
How did you lose your palate?
What was so hard on you?
I was traumatized at that time.
Chaewon has helped a lot in healing my wound.
She helped me forget the awful memory I thought I could never get over.
My mental security will bring back my palate. So don't worry.
And Chaewon helps me a lot.
Do you feel better?
Yes. I'm fine.
When we're married, let's have a lot of children.
My mom grew up alone, so she wants many grandchildren.
I think it'd be the same with your mother.
You must be tired from the tour of the factory. Get a good rest.
Good night.
If I reveal...
...that Seyoon is my son...
...you and he will become...
I'm home.
You're from Chaewon's house?
Yes. Mrs. Minn gave me dinner.
Good.
I feel dead tired from the hectic schedule today.
Good night.
Seyoon.
Can you give me a hug?
Is there something wrong?
No. I just wanted to be held in your arms.
I think you're getting skinnier. You got much thinner.
You know I love you, right?
Of course.
Later when you get sick of me,
...don't forget that I loved you.
Why would I get sick of you?
That'll never happen.
If you reveal that you are his real mom,
...their marriage will go up in smoke,
...and it will only hurt them.
Seyoon is your son, but Chaewon is also your daughter.
I'm so scared.
But he is your only blood and flesh.
How did you lose your palate?
What was so hard on you?
I was traumatized at that time.
Chaewon has helped a lot in healing my wound.
She helped me forget the awful memory I thought I could never get over.
Why me?
Why do I always have to be the one to lose?
No. I don't want to lose him.
But...
...if I sacrifice myself, both of my children can be happy.
If I'm a mother...
If I'm really a mother of my son...
You're beautiful.
Why don't you say anything?
You don't like the dress?
I don't know what to say.
She's beautiful more than words can express.
Words fail me.
Chaewon, you look beautiful.
You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen.
Let's take a commemorative picture.
Here we go.
One, two, three.
What?
Seyoon just sent me a photo.
Chaewon is beautiful in her wedding gown.
Listen.
I'm still uncomfortable to talk with you.
That I know.
I just couldn't see my kids cry bitter tears,
...so I decided to take it to my grave.
But I'll never forgive you.
That I know. I do.
I really appreciate you, Choonhee.
I didn't do that to hear thanks from you.
What's this?
Yes.
What brings you here?
I have something to talk with you in private.
Then you could've called me. I would've come running.
Please, have a seat.
Please sit over here.
Thanks.
What would you like to drink? We have everything.
No thanks. I'll leave soon after returning something.
Why did you bring it again?
Now that it's really over...
...I'm returning this to you.
Over? What's over?
Chaewon and Seyoon set a wedding date.
What? What are you talking about?
I've been too busy these days to pay attention to her. What happened?
How can they possibly get married?
Mrs. Minn decided to let it pass.
What?
For the happiness of her children, she decided to sacrifice herself.
What kind of nonsense is that? That's absurd!
Now that it came to this, get over Chaewon...
...and make a fresh start.
I can't do that. I can't.
You're covered with flour.
It's almost time for the guests to arrive. Go take a shower.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm so sorry that I can't even say thank you to you.
Don't say like that.
As long as you're happy, I'm happy.
I couldn't wish for more.
I'm sorry.
Bring me Tylenol.
I had a headache from work and my head is splitting.
Yes, ma'am.
This is nonsense.
Gee. There you go again.
You hit the bottle again?
This is unbelievable.
How could it be possible?
What now?
Seyoon that jerk...
...he's really gonna marry her. They set a date.
They set a wedding date?
I really can't understand.
Understand what? They love each other so they want to marry.
Cholgyu, now get over her.
How can brother and sister get married?
Brother and sister? Who?
Mrs. Minn is Seyoon's real mom.
What? What did you say?
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for inviting us.
Have you been well?
Yes. Have you been well too?
Yes. Thank you.
Let's have dinner.
It isn't much, but I hope you enjoy the food.
This is quite a feast. Thank you, sir.
Please help yourself, Mrs. Yi.
Yes. Thank you.
Choonhee!
Yes, Mother.
Why don't you eat with us?
Right. Join us, Mother.
I have things to do in the kitchen.
Help yourself, Donggyu.
Thank you.
Aunt Dohee!
How dare you come in here?
I'm sorry to spoil the good mood.
Can't you get out?
I'll talk with him.
No. Stay back.
Keechoon.
Okay. Come out.
Just let go of me!
Hey.
Oh my! Is he crazy?
Come out. Just come out and talk to me.
Come out!
They must not marry!
Though not blood related,
...they're brother and sister. They can't marry.
