All About Marriage
Episode 22
Yes, Father.
I'm going to move out and become independent.
Please let me.
You can't move out!
How dare you say such a thing to your parents-in-law?
Don't give me any excuses about why you must leave.
What did he do that's so wrong?
Don't even dream about getting my permission.
You can leave whenever you want to.
Get out of here first thing tomorrow morning.
Jongdae...
All right then.
Do you have to do this?
I can understand how you feel.
But this is so unexpected.
I don't blame Dad for acting that way.
I thought hard about it.
It wasn't spontaneous.
What was it that you always said to me?
You told me to live my own life.
That's why I'm moving out.
It's not because Father told me to get out.
It's my decision. I want to start my life over.
Do you have to start your new life outside this house?
You'll feel more comfortable alone.
Why are you stopping me?
How can I feel comfortable when my wife leaves home?
I'm becoming independent.
That's the same thing.
You don't want to be one of those men whose wife runs out on them?
You promised that you'd agree to anything if I didn't divorce you.
Are you threatening me?
No, I'm not.
I thought really hard over this and reached my decision.
You're so heartless, Nam Jeongim.
I know.
I know that I shouldn't do this to Mother and Father.
But I don't want to be that scary, hateful woman anymore.
Scary and hateful?
Can you stop mentioning that?
Haven't I apologized enough?
What did I do that's so wrong?
Fine! Go! Get out!
Live however you want to.
I don't care.
Do whatever you want!
She gets worse as time goes by.
This is why I didn't approve of her from the very beginning.
She's out to destroy Taeho's future.
Why would she do that?
She's just hurt.
What did Taeho do to her?
I didn't expect her to be so firm either.
I'll talk to her in the morning.
What she said was outrageous.
How can she tell her parents-in-law that she's moving out?
It's only temporary.
She wants to be alone for a bit.
I'm sure she just wants to move out and live alone for a while.
I can understand how she feels.
Why does she need to be independent?
What did we do?
I don't believe this.
Mother, I'm sorry.
Where's Jeongim? Is she upstairs?
Did she go? Did she really pack her things and leave?
Who's gone? Jeongim?
Jeongim.
Are you really going to live alone?
Yes.
You're crazy.
This is just getting separated.
No. I'm becoming independent.
I guess it's the same thing.
Aeran, this is the first time in my life that I'll be living alone.
I'm going to start over.
I'm going to buy all the things I want and decorate this place.
When's Mr. Choi taking his things?
Let's go downstairs.
Let's go and talk.
Wait. I have to check out the space.
How could you do this? Who gave you permission to leave home?
It's not leaving home. I'm becoming independent.
I couldn't tell Father and Mother.
I'll go see them later.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing's wrong with me.
I told you how I feel.
I hope you can understand.
Can't you help me be free from being a wife and a daughter-in-law?
Just think of it as a vacation.
How is this a vacation? You moved out.
You're on strike!
It's neither of those things.
I'm being independent. I told you!
I want to live as me.
Don't you understand?
Hey! Hello?
She hung up on me!
Did you call Jeongim?
She won't listen to me at all.
You fool. Imagine how she must've felt to do this.
Stop saying that to me.
What did I do?
Did you even try to comfort her?
She has to make me want to try.
She's left home again.
How many times has it been already?
Independent, my foot.
She's just getting revenge on me.
Independence? I want to gain my independence too.
Mom.
You go out and do whatever you want.
You don't know how women feel.
Do you know how tiring it is?
Each day is the same.
Cook, clean, do the laundry.
Every single day.
You don't know how that feels.
If I were 20 years younger, I wouldn't live with your father.
I would've claimed my independence and left too.
Mom!
Can't you think nicely about it?
Imagine how frustrated and hurt she must've been to do this.
Why don't you know that?
You're no professor.
I'm the professor.
Why do you always take Jeongim's side?
I'm not on anyone's side.
I just think that I'm right.
Can't you try to understand how you own son feels?
She always nags and inspects me.
She gets mad, as though I've started up a second family.
I couldn't go out and work without feeling edgy.
It was like I always had a big rock in my pocket.
That's all your fault.
Mom!
Don't say anything more.
Just go and beg.
Tell her you deserve to die and just beg.
I can't do that. Why should I?
Did you tell him to go beg?
Why should he do that?
Tell Jeongim to come and beg.
She ridiculed her parents-in-law.
Tell her not to bother coming back.
Like father like son!
What?
Can't you just pretend to understand her and comfort her?
Who wouldn't leave after the fuss you made last night?
Are you saying that I made her leave?
That's not what I mean, but she left without telling us.
She must've been so frustrated to sneak out like that.
You're such a great mother-in-law.
It's all your fault that Jeongim is so ill-mannered.
You spoil her. That's why she acts the way she does.
Dad, calm down. It's my fault.
You haven't done anything wrong.
Don't you dare call her or go to see her.
Don't do anything until she comes and begs first.
Jeongim, I'm glad you left.
It's for the best.
How dare you?
I'm happy you left!
Good for you!
What's wrong with your mom?
You look so thin.
Do you want me to make you some rice porridge?
No, it's okay.
If you feel ill, just go upstairs and rest.
Yes.
Has Jeongim really left?
Don't worry about it.
It's all your fault.
What?
It's because you cheated on her.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Gangho, just stay out of it.
That's not why.
Of course that's the reason.
Be quiet!
Don't look down on your brother.
You don't have the right.
Jeongim's the type of girl who explodes all of a sudden.
She keeps it all bottled inside, and then lets it all out at once.
You should've been more careful.
You be quiet too.
Don't worry about people's personalities. Worry about your own.
Don't meet strange men either!
Always taking the same cab...
Is she seeing someone?
I'm home.
What's that?
Some man gave it to me.
Man? What kind of man?
Don't take things from strangers.
He asked me if my dad's name was Han Gyeonghun.
He said, "Joon, take this to your dad".
Where did you meet him?
Just now, outside our house.
Excuse me...
The man who worked before...
You mean Han Gyeonghun?
Yes.
He resigned yesterday.
Why?
I don't know. Personal reasons.
Forget him. I'll forget!
I'll forget him.
Hello?
Hello, Miss Kim.
I'm Park Donghyeok. We met on a blind date a few days ago.
Oh... Hello.
Would you like to have dinner with me some time?
All right then.
I feel weird having you accept my offer so easily.
Then...
Then how about tomorrow evening?
I'll call you after I arrange a location and time.
Okay then.
Thank you. See you tomorrow.
Joon's father...
How have you been?
What brings you here?
I came to see you.
What's the matter?
I'm going to transfer Joon to another school.
Why?
I think we'll have to move our house soon.
Personal reasons...
Where are you going?
Why? Are you curious?
I see you still like to question me.
Do you want to take a walk?
You walk well.
You walk well, even though you're wearing high heels.
I'm glad I won't have to listen to you talk like that from now on.
Really?
Yes.
I think I'll be a little sad.
Sad that we couldn't participate in a triathlon together.
Must you tease me until the very end?
I don't know why. I want to make fun of you when I see you.
That's a horrible habit.
I know that.
How much longer do we have to walk?
Why? Don't you like walking with me?
No. I don't like walking.
I'm terrible at sports.
That's why you have to keep walking.
You'll get fat later on.
You're tall, so you'll look really ugly if you're fat.
Keep walking unless you want to end up as a fat, giant granny.
Why do you keep teasing me?
Let's stop walking.
I'll leave the transfer papers in the staff room. Pick them up yourself.
I'll say goodbye to Joon next time.
Go now.
Take care.
Yes. You too.
Thanks to you...
I was happy.
I see. Goodbye.
Gyeonghun!
My shoe... I'm crying because my shoe fell off.
From now on...
You have to practice running with me more often.
You're such a horrible person.
How can you be so cruel?
Have you been waiting long?
No, I just arrived.
Why did you want to see me?
I wasn't able to greet you
properly last time we met.
I know.
I was going to pay you a visit soon.
Let's have a drink first.
Okay.
Drink up.
All right.
I wanted to see you because...
I want to talk to you about Jeongim.
What about Jeongim?
She left home.
Excuse me?
I can't believe it.
It's probably all my fault,
but I'm sad and angry too.
When did she go? Where?
How should I know?
I thought she went to your house.
I guess I was wrong.
I'm sure that Taeho got himself into more trouble then.
Excuse me?
I was going to call him over and teach him a good lesson.
If he knew how to respect others, he wouldn't do that to Jeongim.
She worked so hard to support him.
That's why he's successful.
I really wanted to hit him last time.
But you saw how Jeongim protected him.
Is that why she punched him?
Look here...
Taeho is a national figure.
He's very important.
If he uses all his energy up with domestic affairs,
who will take responsibility for the damage to his work?
Don't be ridiculous.
Forget the nation.
No man succeeds if they abandon their wives.
He never abandoned her.
Don't exaggerate.
I'm not exaggerating.
Do you know how I raised her?
We were poor...
but I did my best to raise her.
I didn't let her marry into your family to be treated this way.
What do you mean by that?
What did we do to her?
I thought of her as my own daughter.
I know I can never be as good as her own father...
I was really patient this time.
I wanted them to divorce right away, but I had to think of Jeongim.
Let's calm down and discuss this.
I came to discuss her leaving home.
Let's address that issue.
She didn't leave home!
Don't use such an expression!
All right then. She claims...
that she's gaining her independence.
It's an unfamiliar term to me.
Anyway...
please talk to her and send her back home.
Please...
How can you have no shame?
Is your family that great?
What did I say?
I'd rather let them divorce.
Excuse me?
I'm going to make them divorce.
All right. Let's make them divorce!
Why not? Get a divorce!
Dad.
Where are you?
Why?
Don't ask. Come home right now!
Sit down.
I heard you left home.
Did Taeho do something wrong again?
No.
Then why did you leave home?
I asked you why.
Since when have you become so irresponsible?
I cry tears of blood when I think of you lately.
Why has my daughter become such a pathetic person?
How old are you?
How can you leave home every time you have problems?
Dad, I didn't leave home.
Then what?
I just need this time to myself?
No one to restrict me. I want to be myself,
to do things on my own.
What are you talking about?
Then just get divorced.
How can you live alone when you're not even divorced?
I'm doing this so I won't get a divorce. To live a good life.
This is ridiculous.
Just have faith in me.
I thought hard about this.
Jeongim...
I'm sorry to have troubled you.
I'm ashamed that I couldn't live a good life.
I'm going on a blind date this weekend.
That's good. You should get married.
You can't keep being single.
You're happy I'm going on a blind date?
Of course I am. It's like my little sister is getting married.
Who is he? I should meet him.
He studies in Paris.
I might have to quit my job if we get married.
Really? You said work was tough.
You should go and study too.
Why not study music again?
Taeho...
Yes?
Do you want me to get married?
Of course.
Why?
Come on. You're getting old too.
I'm a little disappointed.
I'm going on a blind date for you.
So you can feel at ease.
To tone down the rumors about us, so you can make peace with your wife.
That's silly.
I know, but that's me.
I feel silly sacrificing myself like this.
This isn't really my style.
But when it come to you, I keep acting like this.
You don't need to do that.
I know. I'm going to stop now.
If he's a good man, I'll think about marrying him.
I hope he'll help me change my views on marriage.
I've always been in relationships that were bound to fail.
I don't know why...
Maybe I'm the problem.
I hope things work out this time.
Pray for me.
Are you going home?
Yeah.
I watched the show you appeared on with your wife. It was enjoyable.
Seoyeong.
Yes?
Do you have to meet a guy like him?
He's still studying.
Do you have to go to Paris just to look after him?
You're better than that.
Don't go.
If you go, who will I talk to?
Taeho.
I don't have any friends.
It's not easy to find someone that you can talk to.
Don't go.
Mother...
Did you really have to do this?
I'm sorry.
Was leaving the only way for you to solve your problems?
Is it that painful for you to remain by Taeho's side?
I may have a good heart, but I'm still your mother-in-law.
I feel sorry for my son too.
I hoped that you would try harder to patch things up.
Was it really that hard?
Here are some plates and side dishes.
The plates are new.
I was saving them for when you and Taeho moved out.
I guess this is sort of the same situation.
It's a gift to celebrate your independence.
You should eat side dishes too.
You made a whole batch for us and just left.
Where are you staying?
Let me see your new place.
Mother, I...
Mother...
Is it upstairs?
Did you know the person who was staying here?
Yes, he was a customer.
He's going to become a singer.
He hasn't taken his things yet.
I thought you were going to find a place far away.
Can you go out and buy a bottle of soju?
Huh?
Let's have a drink to celebrate your new home.
If the two of us hide here, no one will be able to find us.
Maybe I'll just sleep here tonight.
Come on, go buy some soju.
Sorry, mother.
Stop it.
I'm so sorry.
Don't cry. It's all right.
I decided to think positively about this situation.
I'm glad you moved out.
You did the right thing.
Huh?
What have you wanted to do while living with us?
Something you couldn't do because of your husband and in-laws.
What did you want to do once you became independent?
I wanted to claim my independence, but I never had the nerve.
You were so brave!
Mother.
Good for you.
You've move out now, so make sure you achieve something.
If you just come back home, I'll get really mad.
One month, two months... Don't come back until you find something.
Taeho needs to learn his lesson.
Don't cry.
Where is that woman?
Come down, let's have lunch.
Dahye, are you ill?
Gangho! You have a phone call.
Hello?
Come home right now! In ten minutes!
Dahye, are you okay?
Dahye!
Get up!
Dahye!
Hello?
Where are you?
What is it?
You didn't even make lunch.
Where have you been?
Can't you make your own lunch?
There's rice in the rice cooker.
I'm not upset about my lunch.
Dahye's in the hospital.
What? Dahye?
Okay, I'll go over right now.
Mother, what's wrong?
Dahye's sick. She's in the hospital.
That's terrible. Mother, let's go.
Jeongim...
Yes?
You're independent!
You stay here. I'm going.
What's taking so long?
How is she?
She has stomach cramps and enteritis.
Is the baby all right?
Yes.
That's a relief.
Aren't you going to call her mother?
What?
You must've been so shocked.
Mom...
Look at all that sweat.
She can't even take medicine.
She must've been under a lot of stress at our house.
It's really a great price for such a good location.
I know. That's why I'm recommending it.
Can I trust you?
Sure. My friend's an expert.
But I still can't do it.
It's not my style to invest in property like this.
You'll never become rich.
Rich people don't gain their fortune by saving up.
Investing in property can turn your life around.
Information and action.
The keywords to success.
Do you have some money saved up then?
No, my motto is to live penniless.
I save money, but I'm not that greedy about it.
When I have money, I donate to charity and travel as well.
I know. You're a big spender.
You always buy new things and you change your phone all the time.
We need to buy new goods in order for humankind to advance.
What kind of man do you think I am?
What? What kind of man?
Do I seem like a good man?
What a silly question!
Put your hand on this.
What's this?
A lie detector.
Truth
You think I'm a good man.
Don't make fun of me.
Let's try it again.
Stop it... Goodness!
Hello?
Who? Gangho?
Gangho? My nephew?
What?
Dahye's in the hospital?
What? She's in the hospital?
Have you eaten?
What's the matter?
Gangho called earlier.
Don't talk about him.
Dahye's ill. She's in the hospital.
You didn't answer your phone, so he called here.
Who cares if she's ill?
She's so cruel.
I know...
Mom...
Mom!
You poor thing!
I'm here.
Mom...
Inseon.
Inseon!
Hello.
Mom...
Mom!
You rotten girl.
Mom...
This is the last time!
The very last time!
I'm home.
I'm...
Mom's so forgetful.
There could've been a fire.
Jeongim!
When did you come home?
No wonder I wanted to come home early today.
Jeongim.
I turned the stove off.
Sit down. Let's talk.
Forget it.
Where are you going?
This is your home.
I'm going to my house.
Your house?
Come on. Just go back to the old Nam Jeongim.
What?
Nam Jeongim.
The kind Nam Jeongim.
I'll be good to you from now on.
Let go!
I'm not here to see you.
I came because of mother.
I'm not here for Kim Taeho. Don't get the wrong idea.
Where are you going?
To my house!
This is your house!
Don't ridicule me. I told you I'm going to be independent.
Did you think I was joking?
Don't get so worked up.
Fine then. I'll help you.
Independence is wonderful.
I wasn't thinking straight yesterday.
Things were getting better.
You were trying hard.
I totally ignored you.
I'm ashamed of myself.
Your first step toward improving our relationship is really nice.
You're going to discover who you really are.
That's beautiful.
I should've helped you, but I got mad instead.
I'm a crazy fool.
At least you know it.
What?
I'm going. Bye!
Stupid fool.
Independence? Whatever...
"Stupid coward!"
"His friends teased him and he began to cry."
"Cry baby! Coward! Fool!"
"His friends teased him and he began to cry."
"Cry baby! Coward! Fool!"
Look at this. It's funny.
"His friends laughed..."
When did you get here?
I couldn't just go inside.
I've been waiting for ages.
You should've called me.
Why did you leave so many things behind?
Sorry.
Let's go inside then.
