Episode 51
- Father! - Where's your mother-in-law?
I asked if you know where she is.
I'm not sure where she's gone.
Maybe she went to the grocery store.
Should I give her a call?
Forget it. I'll do it.
Please leave your message after the tone.
Where are you going?
What time is it now? What have you been doing?
I went out for some air.
You were gone for hours.
Why didn't you answer the phone?
I went to the sauna and fell asleep.
The sauna?
The kids will hear you.
Do you know what's going on in our house right now?
What's happened?
What's the matter?
With you acting this way, no wonder Taeho's in such a mess.
Don't be ridiculous. What's wrong with Taeho?
The whole world knows he's divorced. He's being scorned by everyone.
He's being criticized for dumping Jeongim.
Your son's going through that.
How can you go to the sauna?
You always protected Jeongim.
Look what's happened now.
Are you asleep?
Yes.
Don't worry.
I'm all right.
I didn't know about the article.
When did that happen?
People were going to find out anyway.
I don't care what they say.
Time will reveal that it's not true and they'll get over it.
Taeho...
I'm going to bed.
Taeho.
Good night.
What did Taeho say?
He doesn't want to talk about it.
How did things end up like this?
People would've found out sooner or later.
Aren't you upset that people are blaming Taeho?
What did he do that's so wrong?
Why does he have to go through such humiliation?
Stupid fool.
He's a fool. He can't even control his own wife.
I didn't know he was so weak.
He's still taking Jeongim's side. What a fool.
I can't believe what's happened.
This is all because you were so easy on them.
Your weak heart has made Taeho and Jeongim end up like this.
You should've scolded them, but you let them be.
Why don't you say anything? Aren't you going to talk back?
You must have a lot to say.
I don't have anything to say.
You're right. It's all my fault.
It's all my fault.
Professor Kim, what will we do?
What is it now?
Tell me. Did journalists come?
The disciplinary committee gave you a 3 month penalty.
Me?
The parents are mad about the fight with those kids.
Of all the people, Professor Kim Taeho.
They can't accept that.
You did make a huge mistake, and such terrible timing...
Has the decision by the committee been finalized?
I tried to speak on your behalf.
But your image has gotten so poor lately.
You're swept up in all these rumors since your divorce.
They must think that you've damaged the faculty and school image.
The fight with the kids has confirmed that.
It's common for men to get into fist fights.
But you know that schools are very conservative.
So you made a huge mistake.
Dean's Room
The dean is inside.
Thank you.
It won't take long.
The interview will only take 10 minutes.
I'm sorry. I have nothing more to say.
Don't be like that. Please make some time for me.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
Aeran, do I have to hold some kind of press conference?
Press conference?
Everyone speaks as though Taeho abused me.
Or they wish he did.
I'm becoming a hero and he's becoming hopeless.
He is hopeless.
Think about it.
You wanted him to take a beating too.
You wanted him to be punished.
You've got your wish now.
Why are you hesitating?
Just ignore it and move on.
This isn't how I wanted things to work out.
I didn't want to succeed by stepping all over him.
Watch what you're saying.
You didn't step on him.
You just held your position.
It's not your fault that people are talking.
If Taeho's innocent, rumors will die down in no time.
You don't need a press conference. That's nonsense.
People who aren't interested will turn up too.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Just rehearse singing and work on your new song.
Don't look back.
Kim Taeho deserves it.
He should be punished.
A soulful voice that has overcome the woes of divorce
Her voice contains the pains of divorce and a poor youth
You're here.
What is this?
Director Kang prepared it for your 1st album.
It's drafts for your PR articles.
Do I have to do this kind of thing?
This kind of thing?
Do we have to talk about my divorce?
You don't want to do that?
Please help me to make sure this issue isn't discussed further.
I'll work really hard.
I don't want my divorce or Taeho to be spoken about any further.
I feel so uncomfortable lately.
I feel like a coward for using my personal life to succeed.
Nam Jeongim.
What did you first say to me?
You wanted to succeed and make your name known.
You wanted people to call you by your name.
Have you forgotten how desperate you were already?
You're on the verge of success.
Do you want to lose it all?
I didn't know you were so indecisive.
I'm disappointed in you.
Please make sure that I don't have to say this again.
We've signed a contract.
You can't decide what to do or what not to do.
Your success or failure isn't yours alone.
Don't be so foolish or irresponsible.
It's for the engagement party.
It's not even enough to pay for half her dress.
What can I do? I have to smile.
How did Gyeonghun end up like this?
With such a family...
Who's this? My adorable Yeonho.
Mother, I...
What is it?
I'd like to visit you after work.
Okay, come over. You didn't have to call me.
We're not strangers.
All right, see you later.
Okay, come over.
I'll make a delicious dinner for you.
You wanted to speak to me. What is it?
What did you want to tell me?
Come on. What is it?
About the engagement party.
We'd like to pay for it.
What?
I will choose a location that's suitable for us.
Please let us arrange it without your help.
I'd like to cancel the hotel reservation and borrow a dress.
I'd like to keep it humble.
Were you upset the other day?
Did you hear what I said?
I was joking.
That's not the only reason.
I wanted to tell you anyway, but I thought you'd be offended.
No... That doesn't seem like the full story.
Did I hurt your pride?
It's not just about my pride.
It's my engagement party. I'd like to prepare it.
I should be making the decisions.
We're not children. We're mature adults.
We shouldn't depend on you.
You're very upset, aren't you?
Don't be like this, Yeonho.
You're upsetting me too.
I'm doing this as a gift to show how happy I am.
If you turn me down, how do you think I will feel?
I'm grateful for your kindness.
Thank you.
I didn't know you were like this.
You have no respect for elders.
That's not it.
What is it then?
What did I do wrong?
No. It's not that you did anything wrong.
It's just that it's my engagement.
Okay then, here.
This is the envelope that your parents sent.
I was going to return it.
You said you'll prepare it alone, so I should give this back.
Mother...
Do as you wish.
I'll let you have your wish. I can do that for you.
Mother.
You prepare it. Make sure it fits your standards.
I won't interfere, okay?
You should come back with a guardian soon.
You need to be hospitalized.
Let's decide on the surgery date once you're hospitalized.
Are you afraid?
Don't worry.
The surgery isn't difficult.
That's not it.
I'd like to postpone the surgery date.
Excuse me?
My daughter's getting engaged. My son is having a baby soon.
After the engagement, once things are settled...
Can I have the surgery then?
Doctor, please. Postpone it for me.
Ma'am, you're thinking too easily about this.
Even if it's the initial stages, it's still cancer.
It's not the flu.
I didn't want you to be scared, but I think I spoke too lightly.
- It's $30, but I'll make it cheaper. - $30?
- Give us a discount. - A big discount.
Try it. It's warm.
- It's pretty. - Does it suit me?
Is it warm?
- Pick one. I'll give you a good price. - How much of a discount?
Yes?
Are you working?
Mom...
Here...
What's that?
Try it. I think it will suit you.
Mom, why did you buy it?
It's cheap.
But it's been knitted well.
You have a good figure, so you look good in anything.
Try it.
It's so pretty.
Why didn't you buy one for yourself?
I won't be able to see you often once you're married.
I think I was too indifferent.
I always worried about Taeho. You were second to him.
Are you very upset about Taeho?
Mom! Time will solve it. Don't worry too much.
I know.
Here, mom.
What's this?
You gave it to me for the engagement.
Why do you have this? Didn't you give it to them?
It's not that.
I'm just going to have a simple engagement party.
I'm going to prepare everything with my own money.
I don't need your money.
What's the matter?
Did they say it wasn't enough?
No, mom.
Why is this not enough? That's silly.
I thought about it again.
I'm not even young. An engagement is silly.
I might just have the wedding and skip the engagement.
What's wrong with you? Why have you changed your mind?
When did I change my mind?
I felt this way from the start.
Take this before I change my mind.
- Here... - Yeonho.
I have to prepare for class. Please go.
Mom, I'm busy.
I'm upset with you.
What did I do?
What are friends for?
We should talk over a drink when one of us is down.
We should comfort each other. That's what friends are for.
How could you not even call me?
Look who's talking.
Are you in a lot of pain lately?
No.
You must be upset.
I would be.
This incident has taught me how cruel the world can be.
How could people exaggerate that much?
What did you do that's so wrong? They're all out to get you.
I must've appeared hateful.
Even so!
I was jealous when you were famous too.
We were on the same level, then you became famous.
It upset me to see that. I couldn't face my parents either.
You're so sly and cunning. You're obsessed with success.
That's how I felt about you.
I'm confessing to you now.
I'm sorry.
Still, you don't deserve to be treated this way.
You don't have a double personality. You're not a hypocrite.
Why do people talk when they don't know anything?
I'm telling you as a friend.
You're not that terrible.
Thanks.
You do get annoying at times.
You're a real jerk every now and then.
But to be fired from radio and suspended from teaching?
You don't deserve that.
Just pretend I never told you about getting suspended.
No, no. I want to start up a petition for you.
Taeho, you shouldn't be like this. Go to school.
Hand in an appeal and take control of this.
Tell them it's not fair. Set things straight.
If people write false things, sue them for defamation.
Taeho, don't just sit around.
What if you can never rise again?
You could end up as a nobody.
Kim Taeho.
What's happened to you?
Why are you so misfortunate?
You poor thing. I feel sorry for you.
Why did you get divorced?
You should've hung on when she wanted a divorce.
You're the one who's sorry now.
Why am I sorry?
I'm fine. Stop it.
Jeongim's so successful now.
She's popular and she has a handsome man.
She has wings now.
Were you enemies in a past life?
Why did you end up this way?
I'm innocent, I'm innocent...
Kim Taeho. What's happened to you?
Why are you so misfortunate?
You poor thing. I feel sorry for you.
Why did you want to buy me a drink all of a sudden?
I felt like sea eel.
Inseon hates this stuff, so I can't eat it at home.
I don't like sea eel either.
No way! I know you like it!
I have preferences too.
Wait. This sea eel is so good.
Here, open up!
Good boy.
You're so thin.
When men get older...
Of course! Of course they need a woman to look after them.
Look after yourself. Don't worry about me.
Come here, have another one.
The sea eel here is wonderful. Eat it.
Eat it and put on some weight.
I'm tired. I want to go home and sleep.
Nurse Yong, what are you doing here so late?
I went to a flower market and I thought of you.
Do you like flowers, Nurse Yong?
Yes. I'm learning to become a florist.
Didn't you know?
I see.
Where's your brother?
Inpyo? Why?
I'm just asking.
He went out drinking with Jongnam.
Excuse me?
What? Is that not allowed?
No, of course not.
Sit down. Let's have a cup of tea.
It's all right.
I have to get going. I'm busy.
Where are you going?
Well, I'm...
Here and there. Goodbye.
- Aren't you drinking too much? - It's okay.
Give us 2 more bottles of soju!
Jongnam, I'm going home.
Hey, hey! Sit!
- You're not going anywhere! - Jongnam...
What?
You're scaring me.
What?
You're scaring me. Stop it.
Do I scare you?
Yes.
Am I scary?
There you are!
- Nurse Yong. - I wanted a drink too.
Hey, hey! Sit down over here. Sit!
- Can I have a drink? - Sure.
Hey, hey, hey!
We're in the middle of an important conversation. Why did you come?
Inpyo, let's finish talking.
Geez...
- Jongnam! - How embarrassing!
She's heavy. Help me, Nurse Yong.
Stay still. Stop feeling me up!
Excuse me!
She's so heavy.
What happened to her?
Don't even ask. Hurry up and open the door to Dahye's room.
What happened to her?
What do you think?
She poured alcohol down her throat! Geez!
Ouch, my back!
Inseon! Let's have one more drink!
Why did you make her drink so much?
Hey!
I didn't make her drink.
- Stop it! Do something, Inseon! - Give me a kiss!
Geez, stop it. Please...
She's driving me crazy.
The three of us should drink!
Get a grip. What are you doing?
- I like you. - Stop it! Stop!
- You're scaring me! Stop it! - Inpyo.
Ouch, my head...
What happened last night?
Did you sleep well?
Yes...
Hey...
Rest. I need to go out.
Hey...
Did I make any mistakes last night?
I don't remember anything.
I had a total blackout.
Jongnam...
Yes?
Do you have feelings for me?
What?
Jongnam, for me...
Were you drinking this coffee?
I'm thirsty. Let me have some.
Ouch! It's so hot!
Jongnam, I want to make something clear.
What?
I'll pay you by the end of the month.
I'll pay you, no matter what.
Jongnam, to me...
To me, you are...
Inpyo.
You're like my big brother.
That's why I will pay you back, big brother.
Bye...
Cuckoo, cuckoo. When the cuckoo bird cries in the forest.
When my brother rides a horse to Seoul...
Why are you singing that old song so sadly?
Hello. I don't know what's gotten into me lately.
Can you give me something to eat?
Haven't you had lunch yet?
What's that luggage bag for? Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to go somewhere and just kill myself.
I might go somewhere and take some pills to kill myself.
You won't be sad about that. Jongdae won't be sad either.
No one will be sad even if I'm dead.
What's the matter?
You have no idea.
Your children are happy. Your husband loves you.
You're so lucky, so you have no idea how I feel.
You can't understand how I feel!
What's she going on about?
I don't know why my mom gave birth to a girl like me.
She should've just had you. Why did she have me?
I'm just trouble.
No one in this world cares for me.
Why did my mom give birth to me?
Is she crazy? Get out of here.
Don't talk like a drunk here.
So what if I talk like this?
Your kids have turned out well. Can't you try to sympathize with me?
If I'd gotten married on time, I'd have a better son than Taeho.
Are you teasing us?
Don't be like this, Jongdae.
Can't either of you take some interest in me?
- Get up! Get up! - Jongdae.
Go to your house right now. Aren't you embarrassed in front of Dahye?
- Jongdae... - Father...
Let go of me.
I'm really upset with you.
I'm upset with you!
You should be over here and comforting us.
Why do you want me to comfort you?
What do you have to be comforted about?
- Until you become an old woman... - Please just go inside.
She'll just grow old and be as useless as ever.
I'm never coming back here again.
I'm never going to see you again.
Thanks. Please do that for me.
Jongdae...
Don't ever look for me again.
Just think that I've gone somewhere and killed myself.
Jongnam, stay inside. Have lunch.
- I'm going. - Don't be like this.
Don't look for me. I'm going.
Jongnam!
Mom...
Yes, mother.
You weren't in bed, right?
No.
Can you drop by after work tomorrow?
I want to talk to you.
Yes, mother.
Sorry to call you over when it's so cold.
See you tomorrow.
How dare she?
Yeonho.
Yes, mother.
I'm very offended.
The more I think about it, the more upset I feel.
I thought you were different to the last girl.
I'm referring to Joon 's mom.
You made Gyeonghun smile and returned him to my side.
I thought this was all thanks to you.
I was so grateful to you.
Mother...
Must I live through another nightmare?
Am I breaking up with Gyeonghun again?
I don't understand.
How can you reject my gestures of kindness like that?
What did I do that's so wrong?
Mother.
I'm so sad and upset. I didn't sleep a wink last night.
That's not it, mother.
It's not? Then what is it?
Why must I feel this way?
Carry on the engagement as planned.
- Mother! - Just stick to it!
Mother, I don't want to do that.
I've thought hard about it.
I don't want an engagement party.
What?
I'd just like to have the wedding.
I didn't think enough about it.
I will discuss this with Gyeonghun again and inform you later.
You should be discussing it with me!
Just do as I tell you.
I don't want to make any more compromises.
I'm trying to give you the best. Why don't you like that?
I don't understand you!
Miss Kim!
Hi, Joon.
- Sit over here. Aren't you cold? - You're home.
Welcome home, Joon. How was academy?
Good, grandma.
Do you want some hot chocolate? You must be cold.
Yes.
I thought of you all day.
My darling grandson. My dear puppy, Joon.
Wait a minute. I'll make you a cup of hot chocolate.
Yeonho!
Gyeonghun.
Why do you always leave before I get home?
Yeonho.
Yes?
I didn't know you'd come home early. I have to prepare for class.
Do you like my mom more than me?
You get along so well.
There's no room for me.
Thank you, Yeonho.
For what?
Mom's changed a lot.
She praises you every day.
I can't believe that she likes the woman I love so much.
This is all thanks to you.
Thank you so much.
I hated my mom for a long time.
That would have continued if it wasn't for you.
How's your new album? Are rehearsals going well?
Yes.
Taeho is taking a real beating lately.
People are ruthless.
Dad, I'm really confused lately.
About what?
Everything. I don't know what's really going on.
One day, people say I'm a hero. Then they say I'm a liar.
Then the next day, they say that I'm a helpless victim.
People feel sorry for me. They tell me to be strong.
I'm starting to get scared of this industry.
Why get scared?
You just have to hold your ground.
I don't know how to do that.
Do you still have feelings for him?
No, dad.
Good.
Don't feel bad.
Don't feel guilty about it. He had it coming.
He deserves it.
Don't get weak. Don't look back.
He needs to go through this to snap out of it.
He didn't know you were precious. He was so cocky.
I'm so happy lately. I even laugh in my sleep these days.
Think about it.
You wanted him to take a beating too.
You wanted him to be punished.
You've got your wish now. Why are you hesitating?
Just ignore it and move on.
What did you first say to me?
You wanted to succeed.
You wanted to make your name known.
You wanted people to call you by your name.
Have you forgotten how desperate you were already?
Really? Taeho's been suspended?
Yes. His life has taken such a rapid downturn.
Suspended for getting divorced?
That isn't the reason.
He got into a fight at a bar with some students.
The parents are mad.
Why did he fight with them?
Stress, I guess.
Imagine what he's going through.
Honey.
Yes?
Don't tell Jeongim.
Don't tell her that Taeho's suspended.
Why not?
Don't shake her up.
Don't even talk about him in front of Jeongim.
She needs to start a new life.
Life is so cruel.
It is not.
Taeho is Taeho and Jeongim is Jeongim.
They're not married anymore.
Don't tell her, all right?
What are you talking about?
What about Taeho?
It's nothing, Jeongim.
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
I'm not worried, so don't worry about me.
I won't be shaken up because of him.
I don't know what it is, but...
I'm just going to focus on singing as you said.
I don't care what happens to Kim Taeho.
Good. You've come to your senses.
I'm sorry to have upset you.
I'll be happy from now on.
Letter of appeal?
- Mom, mom! - What is it?
I think Taeho got suspended from school.
What are you talking about? Suspended?
I saw a letter of appeal on his desk.
I think they suspended him from teaching for 3 months.
I think he wrote a letter of appeal to say that it's not fair.
Is it because of his divorce? I doubt it.
Don't tell your father yet.
Okay, mom.
Where's Taeho?
I don't know. He's not in his room.
- Where have you been? - To get some air.
How about dinner?
I ate earlier. I'm not hungry.
I want to see you.
Sit down and eat.
Where were you all this time?
I made seaweed soup with mussels.
You like this.
Did you have dinner?
It's late. Of course I ate.
Come on, have some.
The soup's really good. Have some.
What's the matter?
I'm sorry, Taeho.
Mom...
It must've been hard for you to be the eldest son.
I didn't know that. All I ever did was scold you.
Mom, geez...
I was hanging up the laundry and thought of the past.
When you were in middle school, your father's friend conned him.
He took off with our money. It was the day we moved to a tiny house.
You said your father's long johns had a hole in it.
You bought him new ones with your allowance.
Did I do that?
Yes.
You seemed so mature then.
I can never forget that.
Mom...
When you brought your first paycheck teaching casually...
You took the whole family out for black bean noodles.
We had sweet and sour pork too.
That's right.
You weren't successful back then, but you were so optimistic.
You were so trustworthy back then.
I also remember when your first brought Jeongim over.
And your wedding day too.
You were both so pretty.
Why are you bringing up the past?
Sorry... I don't know why I keep reflecting on the past lately.
Taeho, more than the day when you first became a professor...
More than the first time you appeared on TV...
The past seems like happier times to me.
You had nothing, but those days provide me with fonder memories.
Mom...
I'm sorry, Taeho.
I'm sorry I didn't support you. I'm really sorry.
But I trust you.
I know you can get through any obstacles that come your way.
Be strong.
Letter of Appeal
Thank you to all the listeners who have listened to our program.
Today will be my last time for personal reasons.
From next week, a new host will lead this program.
I'm quite sad to leave, but I take with me many fond memories.
Thank you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity.
Thank you.
It's been a while.
I heard that you quit the program.
Really? Rumors travel so quickly.
Can we talk for a minute?
I'm sorry that people got the wrong idea.
I haven't felt good about it.
Don't worry. It's not your fault.
I'm okay.
I wanted to take some time off. I'm happy.
I mean it. I'm not just saying it.
I feel better ending up like this.
Taeho...
You don't believe anything that I tell you, do you?
Okay.
Then I won't feel guilty for what's happened to you.
Why should you feel guilty? You should be happy about it.
Feel happy about it and live a great life.
Work hard as a singer and achieve all your dreams.
I'm fine.
You should know me by now.
You know how cunning and sly I am.
Do you think I will fall like this?
Just you wait and see. I'll be back on my feet soon.
You may despise me again soon.
I'm glad to hear that.
Jeongim.
What?
Have a great life.
Meet a good man and work hard. Fly high with your new wings.
Live a great life.
Nam Jeongim!
What are you doing here?
We're running late.
I'm about to leave. Just give me a moment.
It's okay, let's go.
Have a good life.
