Episode 35
What is it? Can't you tell me?
Taeho...
We split up.
I'm sorry.
Mom!
Mom...
Are you all right?
What do you mean by that?
You split up?
Do you mean that you got a divorce?
You stupid fool. You fool.
Why did you do that? You fool!
Why did you do it?
I know I'm a fool.
I know that, so hit me until you feel better.
Go and take it back.
Cancel it and bring Jeongim home right now.
Mom, can't you stop it?
Stop it? Do you think you have the right to say that?
I know. I'm a terrible son.
I know that what I'm doing is horrible.
But do you know how hard it's been for me?
I'm sick and tired.
I feel better now. I'm relieved.
Just like after a pimple has burst.
Don't always think from Jeongim's perspective.
She needs to be taught a lesson.
A lesson? What kind of lesson?
I've been tolerant. She should've snapped out of it.
She left home talking about finding independence.
Nothing worked out, and she just became stubborn.
She was getting more forceful and full of herself.
I couldn't just stand by and watch her any longer.
Do you know how I feel?
Do you know how suffocated I felt living with her?
So did you tell her that you wanted a divorce?
We both agreed to it.
Jeongim and I have both wanted it for a long time.
There's no point dragging it on. We both agreed to it.
Sorry.
It's not easy for me either. I'm ashamed.
I don't know how to face you.
Yes, Gangho.
Jeongim! What took you so long to answer?
Do you know how many times we called you?
Sorry. I was busy today.
It's okay. How are you doing?
Good.
We came back from our honeymoon.
Aren't you coming over to see us?
We can go over if you're busy.
Dahye says we have to see you.
It's okay. I'll visit soon.
Okay then. Make sure you come.
Jeongim!
Hi.
When are you going to come? I'm dying to see you!
I'll visit soon.
What are you doing?
Why aren't you in bed?
It's nothing. I don't feel sleepy.
You go to sleep.
Stupid fool.
Stupid fools...
Quit? Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?
I'm sorry.
I've thought about it for a while. I've made up my mind now.
I want to cut down on TV and focus on my research.
It was Seoyeong last time, and now you.
What's going on?
Do you really have to quit?
I'm sorry. I'll be on the show until you find a replacement.
Can't you reconsider?
Were we such a big burden to you?
No. Don't get the wrong idea.
As I said, I want to focus on my research.
That's all. Don't misunderstand me.
Professor Kim!
Taeho.
Hey.
What happened? Why quit suddenly?
Why do you want to quit? What's the matter?
I'll tell you once everything is settled.
Once what's settled?
I'm sorry. I'll call you.
What? Tell me again. What did you just say?
Taeho... He got divorced.
How dare they? Don't they think of their parents?
Don't they have any respect?
This has gotten out of hand. There's no end.
She left home and now she betrays us like this.
Don't blame it all on Jeongim.
- Taeho's at fault too. - He is not.
He met the wrong woman and his career is about to be ruined.
Imagine how tough it was for Jeongim to make such a decision.
Don't take her side.
She decided to get a divorce without even discussing it with us.
She was probably too ashamed to face us.
Anyway, have a talk with Taeho.
Make him cancel the divorce.
They have to get back together. We can't let them do this.
What was that?
Oh no...
- What is all this? - Sorry, mother.
Stay still. Don't move. You'll get hurt.
Mother, I'll do it.
No, don't move. Go over there.
You'll cut your foot. Just stay there.
I don't want you to get hurt.
Did you put something on the stove?
Oh no!
Oh my!
- You forgot to turn it off. - I'm sorry, mother.
It's hot!
- Are you okay? - I'm all right.
Were you making gimchi fried rice?
Yes. You seemed down.
I was going to make you a delicious lunch.
I'm sure I turned it off. Why didn't the fire go out?
Mother... Have Taeho and Jeongim really divorced?
Huh?
Is it true? Are they divorced?
No. That's not going to happen.
Go upstairs and rest.
I'll clean up. You go and rest.
It's okay, mother.
It's fine. Go upstairs. I'll make lunch.
I'll make really good gimchi fried rice for you.
Really? Yours is the best.
Mother, thank you!
Didn't you go to work today?
I'm going soon. It's an afternoon shift today.
Sit down, mother.
Okay. Let's sit down.
You...
Is this the sort of person you really are?
I'm so disappointed. You've upset me.
I never imagined that you would disappoint me like this.
I trusted you.
Whatever you did, I trusted that you would do the right thing.
I thought you'd be wise.
How could you let things end up like this?
I'm sorry, mother.
No.
I don't want to hear that anymore.
I'm going to make sure that this situation is cancelled.
I heard that it takes a month for the papers to be processed.
You're not officially divorced yet, right?
Forget divorce. Let's pretend it never happened.
Mother...
I know why you did it.
You didn't want your pride to fall any more.
I can imagine.
So don't feel embarrassed. Don't think what you did was wrong.
Let's just pretend that this never happened.
People make mistakes. That's all a part of life.
Use this opportunity to reflect on your mistakes.
And get back together.
I'm not going to take favor on you any longer.
Come back home.
Jeongim!
I'm sorry, mother. I...
I'm not confident.
Not confident about what?
Mother, I've failed.
- I don't think I can succeed. - Don't say that.
Please just leave me alone. Let me be punished like this.
Jeongim!
Mother, I wasn't able to keep the promise I made with you.
I couldn't even keep the promise that I made with myself.
I've achieved nothing. I'm a failure.
Is that so important?
Don't I mean anything to you?
Is that so important that you won't consider me?
I'm so upset. I really am.
I didn't know that you were so cold-hearted.
Whatever you say, I refuse to accept this.
I can't admit that you have divorced my son.
You'll be part of my family forever.
You can't break up. That's final.
How did this happen? How?
How did things end up like this?
I'm sorry.
You fool! You foolish girl!
How did things end up like this?
How have you been?
Are you getting off work?
Yes.
Are you scared of me? You don't look good every time we meet.
It's not like that.
Since mom met you, you're all that she talks about.
She wants to meet you now. Get in.
Wait...
Let's go inside.
Yes...
My grandfather used to live here, so the house is old.
It's only taken care of when my parents visit.
It's really quiet, right?
No. It's lovely.
You're being dishonest. It isn't lovely at all.
Excuse me?
Nothing. I'm joking.
Mom!
Miss Kim Yeonho is here.
Come inside.
Welcome.
Was it hard getting here?
Are you feeling ill?
Yes.
Dr. Choi came earlier. He was quite negative.
What did he say?
What do you think? Nothing new...
I told him I'd rather die than live like this.
He told me I need to be hospitalized right away.
We fought and I made him go back.
Don't get scared. I'm a little ill.
You don't need to get shocked.
I'll leave you to talk then.
Come and sit down.
I'm sorry to have called you all the way here.
I wanted to go out...
It's okay. You don't look very good.
I wonder how much longer I have to live.
Excuse me?
Our lives are so short.
Decades pass with just the blink of an eye.
Don't you think so?
Right...
Yeonho. I wanted to see you to ask you a favor.
What kind of favor?
Gyeonghun... Help me to make peace with him.
Excuse me?
I'll tell you everything.
I was quite against Joon's mom.
Gyeonghun has many misunderstandings about me regarding her.
That's the reason why he lives without seeing us.
I wouldn't have been against her if she was anything like you.
You don't know how cold-hearted Joon's mom was.
I did the right things as a parent.
Yeonho.
Do me a favor. Please help Gyeonghun to return to me.
Please help, Yeonho.
Please...
Please help me.
Yes?
Where are you now?
I'm working.
Can we meet briefly?
Gyeonghun, I'm going to settle this today.
Settle what?
This strange situation that I've become tangled up in.
I can't understand it.
I need to hear from you in order to comprehend.
Why did you disown your parents?
Did something happen?
I just met your mother.
What did she say this time?
Why does your expression change like that?
What's the reason?
Your mother is really upset about you.
I don't blame her.
If my son lived like you, I'd be upset too.
Gyeonghun, look at me.
What kind of person was Joon's mom?
Did you love her a lot?
Why do you want to know that?
I'm curious.
You must have loved her a lot to disown your parents.
Everyone has a painful past that they don't want to discuss.
It's really difficult for me to talk about Joon's mom.
I hope you can understand me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that you had to get caught up in all of this.
But don't doubt my feelings for you.
Can I ask you something else?
Are you still not over Joon's mom?
It's not like that.
I'm sorry.
No. I'm the one who's sorry.
Make up with your mother now. It's all in the past.
I don't know what happened between you and your mother.
But I don't think you can live apart from your parents forever.
Your mother's ill. I think it's because of you.
I want to help your mother.
She looked like she was in a lot of pain.
Can't I be the bridge to help you make peace with her?
My mother's not as easy as you think she is.
What do you mean? She's kind and very generous.
I'm confident.
I can take care of your pain and your mother's too.
Why are you always so serious? Make peace now, okay?
Breathe in, out and pull.
Breathe in, out and push.
- Is it okay? - Yes, mom.
Good.
You're so good.
Good. A little more. Breathe...
Breathe in, breathe out.
Breathe in.
Just a little more.
Breathe in, out.
Breathe...
Take a deep breath. Breathe out.
Breathe in and out. Pull.
- Breathe in and out. - You're good.
Again, breathe in and out.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Kim Jongnam! Kim Jongnam!
Next, our ball of hope. Nurse Yong!
I can't sing. You sing first.
- You sing first. - It's okay.
- Be quiet. - You already sang.
- Still... - I'll sing then.
It hurts!
Hey! Hey! Stop it!
What are you all doing?
- Turn it off! - Inseon! You're home!
You seem so lonely lately. We came to entertain you.
- What? - Sing a song for us.
Let's have a good time.
Nurse Yong, Nurse Lee. Let's hear the doctor sing.
Dr. Song! Dr. Song!
Forget it!
Don't be like that. We came here for you.
Be quiet and go home. This isn't a karaoke.
Come on, Inseon... I mean in-law!
We're here anyway. Just sing a song.
Dahye's perfectly fine. Don't worry about her.
Just enjoy your life, okay?
- Okay? - Go home.
- I told you to leave. - Be quiet.
Her depression is starting to get out of hand.
Her personality's getting worse.
Wait a minute.
Inseon.
Get out. I'm getting changed.
- Sis... - I said get out.
Dahye hasn't called once since she got married and left.
What a rotten girl!
I told you to get out of here!
All right...
- Gangho. - Gangho!
Do you want to go to catch a movie with us today?
No. I have to go home early.
Come with us.
I'm sorry. Go with someone else.
- Come with us. - Let's go.
I can't go.
Honey!
Honey...
Honey, what are you doing? Aren't you getting off work?
Baby...
Move.
- I caught you! - Doing what?
- I caught you in the act! - What did I do?
If you cheat on me, I'll kill you.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
Hey! I asked why you didn't answer the phone.
My cell phone's broken. I dropped it while doing the dishes.
- Really? - What's wrong with you?
Do you think I'd lie over that?
I don't know.
I know you're sensitive because you're pregnant.
But don't come here and act like this, Dahye.
I work here.
- Come with me. - To where?
Just come with me.
This is so pretty.
Isn't this cute?
Yes, it is.
Why are you buying so many baby clothes? Buy them later.
We have to prepare in advance. I'll buy more later.
Song Inseon's card used $950
Your card's been rejected.
Excuse me? Why?
Usage has been suspended.
Let's go, Dahye.
Can you try one more time?
Let's go.
Gangho! Goodbye...
Are you mad?
Gangho...
Whose card was that?
Huh? Mine.
Not your mother's?
It is mom's... She gave it to me when preparing for the wedding.
- Dahye! - Goodness!
Snap out of it!
Why buy our things with mother's card?
I didn't spend much.
You fought with mother. Don't use her card to buy our things.
Go and return her card to her.
I don't need to. It's been suspended anyway.
- Dahye. - Fine! I will!
You can't live the way you used to. I don't earn much.
You have to spend according to how much I earn. Understand?
I know! I will!
Taeho.
Hi.
You're going home late.
What's up?
Can you buy me a cup of tea?
Will we be seeing less of each other once you quit the show?
I doubt it.
I wanted to apologize to you.
About what?
That night when you got drunk.
Jeongim called and I answered your phone.
I didn't mean for it to happen.
I was angry at you and upset.
I guess I just wanted to play a joke on you.
She probably got the wrong idea.
I've been through a lot lately.
I said so many things to you.
I felt hopeless, so I just wanted to hide somewhere.
I want to apologize for telling you to get a divorce.
I didn't like the way you couldn't make up your mind.
I didn't like myself either for getting shaken up over your attitude.
I wanted to apologize, so I came to see you.
You don't need to apologize.
Everything you said is right.
I couldn't make up my mind. I confused you.
I was neither this nor that.
I should be grateful that you still want to see me.
It's funny to see you being so honest suddenly.
I... I divorced my wife.
It's got nothing to do with you. It's between the two of us.
I'm not going to get married ever again.
I've had enough of being restricted by another person.
I'm going to live a little more freely.
I'm thinking of taking a trip for a few days.
Let's meet up when I get back. We should have a farewell party.
I'm going then.
- You're home late. - Yes, dad.
We need to talk.
Take back your divorce.
I may not approve of Jeongim, but I can't allow a divorce.
Take it back.
Dad.
No one in our family gets a divorce.
Do you want to ruin your future?
Don't you even know how to control your own wife?
Dad, I've made my decision. It's all over and done with.
It's not over and done with. Go and bring her home right now.
I can't do that. We're finished.
Taeho!
There's no hope for us.
It's not as easy as you think it is.
I just want to be free.
What was that?
You're the eldest son!
I know. That's why I've held back until now.
I've tried my best to follow your wishes.
Your demands, your expectations...
It's always been difficult for me, but I've tried my best.
You think I'm a fool because I can't boss my wife around.
I want to break away from all that.
I'm not living my life on your behalf.
I want to be free from others' eyes.
How dare you?
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
You stupid fool. You fool!
You really are hopeless.
I wish I could throw you out.
Dad!
Have you had lunch?
Raise your head and look at me. You haven't done anything wrong.
Do you eat meals regularly?
Yes.
It must be more work than at the rice cake shop.
It's okay, dad.
I work alone, so I don't get stressed.
Worrying about sales used to stress me out.
Let's eat.
It must cheer you up to work at a talent agency for singers.
You hear singing all the time.
You're right.
You were a good singer when you were young too.
You always said that you wanted to be a singer when you grew up.
Yes. I think I did.
Your mother was a wonderful singer.
I fell in love with her voice. That's why I married her.
Really?
Yes.
You have her voice. Her face too.
I remember the lullaby she used to sing when you were born.
I know it's early, but meet a good man and start over.
Have a child and sing a proper lullaby.
I received some money, but I don't know where to spend it.
You keep this and use it to buy yourself something to eat.
Dad...
What's wrong with the weather? Winter must be coming soon.
Then spring will arrive. Times flies like that.
Eat up, okay?
Come on. Let's eat.
I'm back from delivery.
- What are you listening to? - Jeongim's album.
What? Jeongim's album?
Listen. It's her voice.
What is this?
She must feel really empty lately. She does weird things.
She recorded a few sleepy songs and gave me her album.
Maybe she's shocked and lost her mind.
Maybe. She must've been shocked. Even I'm shocked.
Taeho's probably shocked too. I wonder if he's okay.
Don't worry about him!
This is so noisy.
- Stop listening to it. - Why? It's good for prenatal education.
It makes me feel sleepy.
Goodness. Jeongim...
- Jeongim. - Yes?
Why didn't you come in?
I didn't want to interrupt the two of you.
Goodness. Don't make excuses.
You left because you got mad over our conversation, right?
- Yes. - Don't get mad about that.
We're just worried about you.
I know.
Are you doing okay?
What do you mean?
I like your album.
You sound really cute the more I listen to it.
Thanks. Want some tea?
Sure.
Why do you keep calling me out? I'm busy too.
Where's mom? I heard that she met Yeonho again.
Yes. I took her home.
What did she say to Yeonho?
Ask mom yourself.
Tell her not to bother trying to use Yeonho.
- Tell her that yourself too. - I don't want to meet her.
Can't you just stop it?
Isn't it about time that you forgot about it now?
Could you forget about it? After all that happened?
Yes. I'd forget it. I wouldn't live like you.
I'd live next to mom my whole life and annoy her forever.
How can you think of seeing a new woman? You're not over the old one.
I can't understand you.
Yeonho's so different to Joon's mom. I was shocked.
She's exactly like mom.
No wonder mom likes her. She's like mom when she was young.
Don't say that.
I'm so disappointed in you.
How could you pick a girl like her?
She's got 'materialistic' written all over her face. I don't like her.
I told you to watch your words.
She's not like that.
Don't call me out from now on.
I'm sick of acting as mom's servant.
I want you and mom to settle things and leave me alone.
Come home soon. Mom's really ill.
I don't know if it's real or if she's faking it.
I'm having a really hard time. You're killing me.
Aeran.
What?
I really wanted to be the kind of wife that suits Kim Taeho.
Do you think I will stand in the spotlight once in my life?
Spotlight?
Yes. Spotlight.
People calling out my name, everyone welcoming me...
Having everyone love me.
What's so good about that?
Of course it's good.
I want to be loved like that.
Just once. I want to experience that.
Being in the spotlight. Being loved...
If only that were easy...
You're right.
Hello?
Were you asleep?
Yes.
Jeongim, it's me. Kim Taeho, your ex-husband.
What's up?
I wanted to say this to you.
What?
Thank you.
Thank you for letting me go and freeing me.
We're officially strangers now.
It's something to be quite excited about.
The 2nd act of our relationship has now begun.
Isn't this something exciting?
Where are you?
On an island that lies between the two of us.
Let's become real friends now.
We're going to be friends now.
We'll break away from marriage and live as man and woman.
Isn't that exciting?
Okay. Let's be friends.
I don't mind being friends, but I need to sleep. Bye.
Is this conversation too difficult for you?
Okay. Go to bed.
Goodbye my friend.
Hello.
Wait a minute.
Sit down.
What's the matter? You don't look good lately.
It's nothing.
- How's the album? - Excuse me?
Your album. What did people say about it?
Don't tease me.
I'm the producer. Of course I should ask about the response.
Is that why you wanted to see me?
I feel strange having you act so polite.
If I'm rude, you could fire me.
Want to try singing this?
Excuse me?
A film director asked me urgently for a song.
I want to record a demo tape before finding a singer.
What's a demo?
He wants to hear the song first.
A demo is sung in any form just so people can listen to it.
Why should I do that?
I think your voice suits this song.
Get someone else.
I will.
I'm just asking you to sing it once.
The song's easy. It's not hard.
Can you sing it for me?
Come on!
Stand in front of the microphone.
Should we get started then?
Wait. Wait a minute.
I cry even when I smile. I'm lonely when I'm alone.
I can't love anyone. I live each day.
Like this?
Good.
I cry even when I smile. I'm lonely when I'm alone.
I can't love anyone. I live each day.
Yesterday, I...
Sorry.
It's okay. That's enough.
It's okay. You did fine. Thank you.
Can I sing it one more time?
I just want to sing it once more.
Okay then.
I cry even when I smile. I'm lonely when I'm alone.
I can't love anyone. I live each day.
Yesterday, I cried a lot. Today my heart is choking.
Tomorrow will be less painful than now.
My makeup gets thicker.
My hairstyle changes often.
I don't want memories to haunt me.
So I erase the traces of the old me.
That's the sort of woman I am. All I know is love.
I want to believe, even if it's a lie.
The time we spent together, even if it was painful.
It's the traces of our love. I can't throw them away.
I'm a foolish woman. Love is all I have.
I want to receive love more than anything else.
You left me. I despise you, but hope you'll return.
I can't forget you.
