A Thousand Days' Promise
Enjoy:)
Episode 12
Truthfully, even if you two did come to terms with each other,
I wondered if that would be the best choice for the both of you.
I wondered how long you'd be faithful to her,
how far would your irresponsibility towards Seo Yeon go?
I thought you'd make him give up no matter what.
Yeah.
But I was the one who caved in instead.
Follow your heart instead of your head for once,
it's your life, who cares?
You have a right to be happy as well.
As long as you're happy it doesn't matter,
don't worry about anything else.
The devil sweetly whispered in my ears.
So I grabbed hands with the devil.
I didn't know the devil would come between you two.
Give your worries as well as your guardianship over Seo Yeon to me.
From now on I'm her guarantor.
Of course.
Of course I'll hand her to you.
I've taken over.
I'm leaving her in your care.
You've always coldly swept aside my favors.
I told you, I wasn't sure if it was the best for either of you.
I didn't ask you to judge whether it was or not.
Bang Wool's mom, she only has one day off on Sunday,
and she spends all of it cleaning up the mess her husband and kids have made over that entire week.
She doesn't have any time to get a perm.
I told her, are you going to get arrested for spending that one day at the shop?
"Let's just do it," that's what I said.
What is that?
Last summer I got a blanket from that painter.
I want to give it to the elderly person who lives over there.
And this is the heated blanket we used to use.
It's winter.
He may decline, saying he doesn't want to waste the electricity,
but on those days where he feels like he'll freeze to death,
he can use it for ten minutes at a time.
I'm going to set the perm for Bang Wool's mom and hurry on over there.
I packed some food from your birthday too.
I'm going to clear out his fridge.
You have to help me carry it to Bang Wool's house.
Make sure you've got everything you need.
Don't go running about later in a hurry.
You're right, you're right.
Bring out the package, I'm going to get a drink of water.
Honey! Hurry and come out!
Ji Min, grandma's busy so ask your mom for lunch, okay?
Ji Min!
Grandma!
Do it again, do it again!
I was on a roll!
All right, all right, grandma's sorry.
Come home an hour early.
We have to light the candles and cut the cake.
I told you it's not today.
Since I've already put in all the effort, it is today.
Hey, I can't serve you lunch today.
There's rice in the rice cooker, and soup as well.
All right. Are you busy?
Your father's going out to the shop and I have business to take care of.
We're going to be busy.
Are you going to be busy?
- Why? - I have something to tell you.
What is it?
It's good news.
Seo Yeon is getting married.
What did you say?
Seo Yeon is getting married.
Honey... honey, honey... leave later.
Come inside, I said come inside, come inside!
Come inside! Come inside!
Come in, come in!
If you had known, you should've clued us in earlier, I had no idea!
You don't need to resemble your father in that aspect.
Who is it? What does he look like? What does he do?
Did you introduce him to her?
Did she pick him? How old is he?
How long have they dated?
What is it?
You're in too much of a hurry, ask one question at a time.
You're right, you're right.
Have you seen him?
How is he?
Is he okay?
Will he be okay?
He's a great guy.
Really?
He's great in your eyes?
Yes.
Then that's a relief!
Even though she may not be young, it all works out for the smart ones.
They say only men can make accurate judgments about other men.
Then that's great!
God, Buddha, thank you.
Thank you.
But, what does he do?
Does he work in publishing too?
He's someone you both know.
You know Ji Hyung, right?
Park Ji Hyung.
What?
It's him.
Ma'am, what was the name of this bread?
It's the chewy sesame bread, it's over there.
Where the platter is, it's there.
- You know where this goes, right? - Yes.
Mom! Mom!
What is it? You're up? Are you fully awake?
That's not it.
Dad, water.
What is it that's making you so out of breath?
Did a thief get in the house? Is there a fire?
Did grandma faint?
Aunt is getting married.
She's getting married.
What are you talking about?
Whose aunt?
We only have one aunt in our family.
Who said that?
Uncle.
Uncle told grandma and grandpa.
So Cha Ji Min, you heard uncle tell grandpa and grandma,
that aunt Seo Yeon is getting married?
Yes. Grandma and grandpa were about to go out,
but then uncle came in and said,
"I have something to tell you."
"It's good news."
"Seo Yeon is getting married."
I heard it loud and clear.
Grandma was so shocked she said, "Honey, honey, come in!"
And then she went into the room with grandpa.
Wow, if this is true, it's the greatest moment in Cha Ji Min's life.
Congratulations, congratulations!
Dad, I want to eat spaghetti.
Settle it with your mom.
All humans are greedy.
I can see how his family would react like that.
That's true, they only have one child, too.
I won't even try to force my opinion on them.
Hey! Still, children are not assets of business.
They should just come to terms with it and accept it,
it's not as if they're going to live for thousands of years,
life is so short.
If they love each other, that's enough.
If they're happy, that's all that matters.
She's smart, pretty, respectful; where else can you find a better bride than our Seo Yeon?
That's only your opinion.
Fine then, who cares if only one side of the family consents to the marriage.
Marriages where both families are in complete accordance?
There's nothing special about them.
Everyone thinks their child is special, that no one is worthy; they all think that way.
We can't expect a family like that to so easily accept her.
But, what about their home?
At the very least we should procure a home for-
Don't worry about it, Seo Yeon just needs to bring herself.
Ji Hyung said he prepared everything.
He even bought the furniture and the basic necessities.
How thankful!
But that poor thing, I guess she has luck in that department.
She has luck there, she has luck there.
She has luck there, honey!
But honey, I guess we'll have to give back that used car.
He says they don't need anything but we can't send her empty handed.
We need to prepare the groom's suit, the dress, and pay for her hair and make up.
Pick up your phone first.
What?
Oh!
Yes, hello?
Oh, Bang Wool's mom!
It doesn't look like I can do your perm today, what can I do?
Yeah.
Something just came up at home.
No, no, nothing bad, something good.
Yeah, it's something good.
Yeah, tomorrow, I'll do it for you tomorrow.
Okay, sorry!
Ji Hyung's coming to give his greetings.
He's probably coming right now.
Today?
- Right now? - Yes.
You should see him before you go, Father.
This is a problem, this is a problem!
What do I do!
I haven't even cleaned the house yet!
Honey, honey, the yard outside! The yard, the yard!
Just leave it, it's fine.
That's not right though! He's an important guest!
Honey, honey! I'll wipe down the floors, go clean the bathroom!
Mother...
Jae Min! Get the laundry and in the kitchen... no, no...
Just put it all in Ji Min's room!
All right.
I heard Seo Yeon is getting married!
Yeah.
Really? Is it true?
Did you run here after hearing that?
She was dating someone? What does he do?
Park Ji Hyung.
You mean, your friend with the doctor parents, that Ji Hyung?
No way... no way...
It's true.
Don't be so reckless.
Wait up.
I want to carry all three by myself,
but I only have two hands so that won't do.
The dried yellow corvina is the lightest, so you can help me with that.
It's this one.
I'll carry the meat, I can at least carry that much.
No, if only one side is heavy your shoulders will get crooked, take it.
I told you we shouldn't have bought the fruit.
My aunt's an expert at picking out cheap and delicious fruits.
You're dead now. Your arms are going to fall off and you'll have to go to a hospital.
But I'll still look cool.
See? I told you.
Is there anywhere we can find a carrying rack here?
I think we're going to need a rack for this.
I might as well buy a rack and carry it around in my car.
Because of these steps, we'll need a rack to get to your aunt's house.
Are you going to buy her things like this every day?
I'll go bankrupt like that.
Only on days like these.
So you're going to buy a rack just to use it one or two times a year?
I'll take you up in it too.
What?
It'll be much more comfortable than carrying you up.
Don't I have legs? Why would you have to carry me?
I want to save my bride's legs.
Your legs are so thin, I'm always worried they're going to break.
The very first thing I'm going to do when we get married is to throw away all your heels.
I spent my precious money to buy those.
I'll pay you back for the shoes.
Fine, pay it back in double.
I was going to calculate them as used items.
That won't do.
Why double?
Cause I spent it not on myself, but for someone else.
Hey, I've never been impressed by your heels.
In fact, I should be receiving compensation for stress.
You complained and yelled every time I wore them,
I was the one who got all the stress.
Are you really going to throw them all away?
Yeah, why?
I was going to take them out once in a while and think back on the memories.
"He used to really hate these, that was his way of expressing his love."
It made me happy when you said you wore them for me.
You said it was stupid.
I was really worried you'd break your legs.
Was it, by any chance, you being insecure about your own height?
What do you mean?
If I wear heels, you don't look as tall.
Are you disappointed that I'm not over two meters?
Am I some kind of basketball player?
Hello, Aunt.
Hi, what are you doing here?
Is ahjumma not here?
I'm here.
Hi.
I heard you couldn't go yesterday because you weren't feeling well.
I made some shark's fin soup.
Oh my, you know how to make such things?
I went to cooking classes.
The Chinese cooking teacher was particularly renowned.
I can make most things pretty accurately.
You should eat it while it's hot, please hurry, Ahjumma.
You too, Aunt.
This is a problem.
She still has hope left.
- What do we do about her? - Be quiet.
What bowls should we use for the soup?
I'll take them out.
Here.
I've tried making it at home twice.
My dad said it tasted better than those at hotels.
Of course, that could be a difference in opinion.
My mom said the first one smelled bad,
but the second time she said it tasted similar.
You know how harsh my mom is.
If your mom said that, it means you did very well.
It's delicious.
Really?
Really, it's really good.
That's a relief.
Recently, that's been the most uplifting compliment I've received.
You're not eating?
I had a late breakfast.
There's some left over at home, I can eat some later.
Why isn't aunt coming?
She'll come, sit.
Yes.
You should've went with them.
I get enough abuse at home,
I don't need to follow them around to hear it too.
Please try it.
All right.
Let me put a score on Hyang Gi's cooking skills.
All right.
It's good, 100 points.
It is! I'll give it three hundred points.
So what's the perfect score?
Three times a perfect score of a hundred; three hundred points.
Thank you.
I'm sorry for not coming by sooner, Mother, Father.
Sit.
Sit, sit.
Sit comfortably, you haven't committed a crime.
- Sit comfortably. - It's all right.
Aunt...
I... I'm so thankful.
I'm so happy.
Moon Kwon is a man and he's still young, so I was worried about you.
I should've stayed out of it, but I just couldn't.
She kept on getting older but there seemed to be no hint of marriage.
And she'd shut me down if I even mentioned marriage.
They say everyone has their match...
Even though I pretended to be calm,
you don't know how much I've worried.
You've had such a painful, heartbreaking life,
I just wanted you to meet a generous and kind man, and live happily.
You are just as much my child as the others, I prayed for you every night.
Mother...
We were so poor and I spent all my time working to earn a bit more.
You don't know how much it tore up my heart seeing you work when you were young.
What are you doing on such a happy day?
Oh right, I shouldn't be doing this.
I can do this by myself with the covers over my head.
You already know how silly I can get, right?
Yes, Mother, I know just how kind you are. You treated me so well.
Truthfully, I didn't really treat you particularly well,
I just fed you whatever we were eating.
But your food was so delicious.
So... what brought you here?
I'd like to take Seo Yeon, please give her to me, Mother, Father.
Of course... Of course...
Honey, did you have a dream last night? What good fortune is this?
It's so pathetic, stop crying!
All right, all right, I'll stop, I'll stop.
So, you were dating for over a year, and you didn't come to our house even once?
It just turned out that way, Noona.
They say "like attracts like."
Are you just as secretive as Seo Yeon is?
What are you saying?
It's okay, Mother.
I can't stand it.
How could you have not breathed a word of this and conned all of us?
How dare you speak like that?
- What do you mean, "conned"? - Isn't it?
Are you some kind of celebrity? Are you trying to prevent a scandal?
Did you put on a show to stab us in the back later?
Noona...
And it's not some stranger, it's Ji Hyung, Park Ji Hyung.
Why did you play innocent and put on an act?
- That's not it, Unni. - Enough.
You're in this together with them.
I've always known you were on her side,
but this really makes me feel shitty.
Why are you saying such things on such a happy day?
She made us all into fools.
Why is that important?
So what if we were fools?
It's disgusting, scary, and infuriating!
We've only recently decided to get married.
That's why she couldn't tell you.
What I'm saying is that my innocent mom was so determined to get you married off,
so why did you let her run around asking people for connections?
"Truthfully, I'm seeing someone."
If you just said that, she wouldn't have had to waste her energy.
We were all completely fooled.
We were wondering if you were going to end up at a nunnery.
Three years ago I had surgery for cancer.
After that, I wanted to at least see her married,
so I did worry a bit, that's what she's talking about.
Try to understand, all right?
Yes.
You sly, impertinent bitch.
I've never seen anyone as crafty as you.
In any case, congratulations.
Mom!
Is that a congratulation?
Aunt, it's all right, please stop.
Hey, are you trying to stop us or start a fight? Get off of me!
You little... where do you get that dirty mouth from!
Get out, get out! Let's see an end to this today!
Mom, really!
How can you do this in front of someone else?
Am I a child?
I'm a forty year old adult now!
If you're an adult, am I not your mother?
Why would you do something that calls for a beating!
How could you say such hateful things in front of your cousin's fiance!
If you had ever stood on my side even once, I wouldn't be like this!
Stop it.
You already know what a bad temper I have, so why did you hit me?
It's not just the two of us, how could you humiliate me like this!
I said to stop!
Why did you have to aggravate her?
She's exactly like your older sister, that temper of hers.
I need to go out to the shop.
All right, Father.
What have I done? I said those things in front of Ji Hyung...
It's all right, Aunt.
Why does she always act like that?
We couldn't get married, Aunt.
I know, I understand, it couldn't have been easy.
You couldn't say anything, just how much did you suffer inside all alone?
It's all right.
Have three children every year. No matter what, they're still that family's grandchildren.
After that, his family will have no choice but to accept you.
And besides, who cares if they don't?
As long as the two of you are certain of your feelings, there's no reason to worry about such things.
Why are you crying?
You have a reliable person to support you now.
Unni, I have something I want you to hear.
You know the American poet, Emerson, right?
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"What is true success?"
You're tired, so I'll read it translated.
"To laugh often and much."
This applies to you lately.
"To win the respect of intelligent people,
and the affection of children."
"To earn the appreciation of honest critics,
and endure the betrayal of false friends."
Enough.
You don't want to hear it?
When I'm tired, even the sound of birds chirping is just noise.
Then I'll skip to the end, the end.
Didn't you say you were going to lessons?
Yeah, I still have plenty of time left though.
It's not until four.
Hyang Gi, let's go out for a walk.
Yes, Ahjumma.
- Hyungnim. - It's been a while.
Yes.
I wouldn't have recognized you if I had passed you on the street.
Yes.
You've gotten pretty old too.
What did you say?
It was in my plans to walk with you here during the spring and fall.
I see.
This path is very nice.
The scent coming from these woods and the dirt differs with the seasons.
In the spring it's sweet, refreshing in the summer,
chilly in the fall, and frigid in the winter.
I become at ease when I'm with you.
This is a secret from my mom,
but I've always liked your house better than ours.
That's why I wanted to become your daughter-in-law.
Thanks.
Mom always has so many complaints when it comes to me.
It's hard acting as the daughter who doesn't satisfy her mother.
It's not that she's dissatisfied with you.
It's just that to her standards how should I say it?
Right, it's because she wants to better you.
Our personalities, preferences, everything is so different.
How could I follow her?
I wish she could acknowledge that.
We know we shouldn't act like that,
but when one becomes a parent,
it's hard to let go of the greed to make one's child into the best.
I think my mom just sees me as lacking.
Just think of it as a habit.
All right.
How is oppa doing?
Does he call you often?
No, not really.
He comes once in a while to pick up his clothes.
There are times when I want to call him, but I wonder if I'm burdening him.
Hyang Gi...
Ahjumma, I... would like it if he just sent me a text once in a while.
"Are you well? Are you okay?"
Just those three words...
I think oppa has already forgotten I exist in this world.
He's doing it for your benefit,
so that you can move on quickly.
Is that why?
Of course.
But when I dropped off the cookies...
He probably felt sorry letting you leave like that.
You said it, didn't you?
That he treats you like a younger sister.
That's why he's like that.
Then he can send me a message thinking of me as a sister.
But you don't consider yourself his sister.
Yes.
Forget Ji Hyung as a man.
There is no place in Ji Hyung's heart for you anymore.
Just stop.
The most painful thing in this world is a one-sided love, don't do that.
Make a clean break.
Send him away.
That's how a new opportunity will come your way too.
If you stay like this, even if a better person than Ji Hyung appears before you,
you won't be able to see it, you can't.
That can't happen, all right?
Yes, Ahjumma.
All right.
It looks like he's going to get married.
I didn't consent to it, and his father doesn't know.
Oh...
when?
I'm not sure.
He wants to do it soon.
I'll tell your mother.
My mom... will be so angry.
In order to get revenge on me, she spent a ridiculous amount of money and bought things like crazy.
But unexpectedly, they've had a benefit.
The customers really like it.
And the quality of the golf course is rising because of it.
Lately, it looks like other golf courses have been following suit.
Hyun Ah has an incredible eye for such things.
What are you talking about?
It's that friend she always has around.
Who was it? That college classmate of hers.
Oh, right, Ha Mi Joo.
It's her discerning eye.
Without any thought, for the excitement of spending my money,
all she simply did was say, "Okay, okay; good, good."
- That's how she bought these. - What do you mean?
Even my wife says you have to appreciate her taste in art.
Even the dog of a ramyun shop can learn to make ramyun in three years.
If that much money went into her education,
there needs to be some effect on her education, don't you think?
Why isn't she coming out?
Look here, we're going out first, come with her later.
Yes, Chairman.
She'll be out soon, let's go out together.
Let's go out and stretch, let's go out.
She's coming now, Chairman.
You're faster than I expected.
- You were going to go out first, weren't you? - I thought it was going to take a while,
so I was going to go out and stretch for a bit.
Director Park, your outfit is nice today.
Really?
Even if Soo Jung is not here, let's have a good time by ourselves.
Of course, we'll have to.
Don't touch the ball after you've hit it.
All right, all right.
At least for my pride, you need to fix that habit of yours.
"Oh Hyun Ah's husband, the gangster golfer."
Just think how embarrassing that is.
Gangster? Am I a gangster?
If you act like one, then you are.
There isn't a separate class of gangsters.
I'll give as I get.
Fine.
Director Park regarded your taste in art very highly,
so I said, "That's not Oh Hyun Ah's taste, all she did was pay for what Ha Mi Joo picked out,
when people praise the artwork, she just pretends it's all her doing."
That's what I said.
No, he didn't say it like that.
He said that he didn't realize it when he bought them,
but because of you the quality of the golf course has gone up.
He's just lying.
Fernando Botero, Gary Hume, Lee Bul, Bruno Taut.
They are all world renowned artists.
The value of their works have skyrocketed,
I've succeeded in terms of my investments.
That's true.
He's sold off companies he bought for 10 billion at a mere 200 million won.
Not to mention ridiculous ventures in between.
But I've never suffered any losses.
Oh, I need my gloves.
- Bring one of my white gloves, hurry. - Yes, ma'am.
Look here.
Yes, ma'am!
You're going without even asking me what room I'm in?
Yes, well...
They already know your size at the shop, this isn't the first or second time we've been here.
And what if there's an employee that doesn't know?
He'll find out on his own.
It's room 19, 19.
Yes, all right ma'am!
What's wrong with that kid?
Go.
Thanks for the shark's fin.
Hyang Gi.
Yes.
I'll be going, Ahjumma.
All right.
What about Hyang Gi?
She left.
She's so pitiful, isn't she?
Come in.
The day we moved in, I got drunk drinking soju with Moon Kwon and we cried together.
We were so happy and sad.
You probably don't know what it feels like to be so happy and yet sad at the same time.
That night, we came up with a new goal.
I'd earn money, he'd earn money, and if we save seventy percent of that,
we'd be able to buy an apartment together.
We yelled fighting more than ten times.
I went into my room and lay down on my bed to sleep,
and I felt a sense of ease that I had never experienced before.
She'll probably faint if she heard this.
I thought, "Right, aunt's house was only aunt's house."
"This is how light it is not to feel as if I'm a burden to someone."
Don't touch me.
Moon Kwon will be home soon.
And this isn't the right place.
Did I say otherwise?
I just wanted to hug you, I can't even do that?
I may not just stop there, all right?
Really? All right then.
- Where's your room, where's your room? - What's wrong with you?
It's that one, it's that one, isn't it?
Stop it, don't joke around, I was just kidding!
I was just kidding, just kidding!
- Really? - Yeah, I was.
If I didn't react, I thought you'd be disappointed so I overdid it.
My refrigerator's going to explode.
I've never bought this much before.
Wait.
I'll put this here and check it off as I go.
I have dementia after all.
But we need to eat.
We already ate, beef soup.
With aunt and Jae Min.
Yeah, I know.
I need to put these into the fridge.
I'll put them in, you hand them to me.
All right.
Wait.
You like coffee, let's drink tea.
- After we do this. - No, let's drink tea first.
- We only have instant. - I don't care.
I thought you were drinking tea.
Oh! Right, tea.
Drinking coffee has become a habit of mine, I drink coffee all day.
Maybe I should cut down on coffee and switch to green tea.
You don't even drink a lot.
I drink at least two cups.
I think it's too dark.
It's okay. Make your green tea.
Yeah.
It's here.
- That's not it. - It's green tea.
There was one we had already opened.
It's not here.
Not in here either.
I can't find it.
This is what I do nowadays.
Should I find it for you?
It's okay, we'll just drink this instead.
I found it!
It's not at the right temperature for tea, it needs to cool a bit.
Whatever, I'll just drink it.
I forgot the strainer.
I thought it was just your way.
It's okay, I can drink it slowly.
Hot!
Did you burn yourself?
Keep it there.
Let's go to the hospital.
What is it?
Are you going to be like this all the time?
Are you going to burn your hand all the time?
I don't need to go to the hospital, I'm all right.
How do you know? It was boiling water.
It wasn't boiling, it had cooled a bit.
And I dropped the cup anyway, I only spilled a little on me.
It's all right, it's not serious.
I'm going to kiss you, I want to.
All right.
I love you, thank you, I'm sorry.
I want to say them while I remember.
I don't want to put it off until tomorrow.
I may not be able to remember it tomorrow.
I love you, I'm sorry, thank you.
Don't.
Even if I never say these words again,
understand that it's because I've become dumb.
Even if I'm not myself, my heart will remember you.
The heart simply doesn't know how to express things in words,
but it feels everything, knows everything.
I was a coward, I was a coward so I avoided you.
I'm really sorry.
Don't forgive me.
You don't need to.
You don't need to, Seo Yeon.
Sit, sit, it's all done.
Moon Kwon, plate the rice.
I've already done it.
- Now all we need is the bean paste- - I know, all we need is the bean paste soup.
- Water. - I've already gotten it.
Good, then it's perfect, right?
- I'll get the soup. - No, go away, I'll do it.
No!
Sit, I'll do it.
Moon Kwon, you do it, he's never done things like this.
All right, I was just thinking I was the most qualified anyway.
Fish! I was going to grill some mackerel.
It's going to take forever to grill mackerel, I'm hungry.
All right.
Try it.
It's perfect.
- Really? - Really.
Truthfully, I think my sense of taste is getting a bit dull.
No, it's perfect.
That's a relief.
Please, have some.
Wow, it's different from my mom's but just as good.
It's my aunt's bean paste stew.
When I eat out, I never eat bean paste stew.
Me too.
We're going to move.
It's not far from here.
I'll make out the schedule and give you a call.
I'd rather stay here.
No.
I don't want to get in the way of newly-weds.
If I wasn't sick I wouldn't take you either.
By any chance, it's not that I'm annoying and you want to take this chance to load me off to him, is it?
How could you say such a thing?
You're eating so well, is it good?
I couldn't even imagine you'd cook so well.
Before I forget it all, I'm going to cook everything.
Chunggookjang, shiraegigook;
those types of humble dishes have been passed down from my aunt, so I'm good at making them.
People who are smart also cook well, that's what my mom said.
Am I smart?
Am I so smart that my brain is breaking down?
Noona...
Don't worry, let's accept reality.
Noona, it's time to take your medicine.
We're having a late dinner, so set it for an hour later.
All right.
It hasn't been long since we had dinner.
Myung Hee has to go out to the store.
It's kind of empty because no one's here,
but you need to at least blow out these candles.
If we don't, it'll be sad.
Tell your mother to come in.
Mom!
- And your uncle too. - Uncle!
He takes after his mother in terms of his vocal cords.
How many should I put in?
As many as you like.
I'll put everything we have, that looks the prettiest.
Going out to exercise?
I ate too much, I'm going to walk for a bit.
Why isn't she coming?
- Call your mom. - Mom!
Are you deaf?
If you're called, you should at least answer.
- Ji Min, sing. - Okay.
Ready, start!
Happy birthday-
It's birthday, you idiot. ("saeng-shin" and "saeng-il" both mean birthday but the latter is more respectful)
Why are you calling him an idiot?
He got it wrong last year and the year before that too, what is he if not an idiot?
Such terrible words to your own child...
What if he really turns into an idiot?
Ji Min, again.
Happy birthday to you.
- Good. - Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to grandpa.
Happy birthday to you.
What is this?
You disappeared off somewhere,
is it because you wanted to get drunk?
Jang Myung Hee, pack your bags.
Pack your bags immediately and we're leaving this place.
If not here, do you think our family,
the three members of our family will have to sleep out on the streets?
Pack your bags, I said pack your bags!
You just promised me you wouldn't do this again!
Go in, go in!
Honey, this isn't because I'm drunk.
I've endured, endured, endured some more and then endured, and endured.
And now I've crossed that threshold and exploded!
Go in, I told you to go in!
Move!
I have something to say, I have something to say to your mother!
Why are you doing this?
You won't get anything out of it so don't!
Be quiet!
Shut up!
What is it? What is it you want to say?
Fine, say it.
Mother.
- Hello, Mother. - What is it you want to say?
Go on and say it.
Yes, Mother.
You always pretend to be so reasonable, so why is it that you are you so ignorant?
You've gone insane, you're crazy!
Go in, go in, go in!
It wasn't just anywhere, how could you do such a thing at a place where,
she's greeting her younger cousin's future husband for the first time?
Is that being reasonable?
Are you a gangster?
Is that why you went off, got piss drunk and are picking a fight with me?
She's not yours anymore,
she's mine, I'm the one who takes care of her.
Why are you treating what belongs to me however you like?
With whose permission?
Hyung...
She's my wife, she's my child's mother!
You bastard.
I'm her mother.
A mother remains a mother until she dies.
If a conflict arises between you two, you can go your separate ways,
but she and I are forever parent and child.
Who do you think you're talking to?
So did you absolutely have to hit her as if she was a dog in front of her future brother-in-law?
Think how bad it must've been, think how rudely she must've acted for me to do such a thing!
I'm leaving.
Fine, leave.
Leave immediately!
When my mother finds out about this, you'll get nothing.
You better stop, stop!
I'm going to beat you, let's see how your mother reacts.
Where is it? Where's the broom that was here?
Enough!
Yes, Father, yes.
But Father-
Words just won't do with you, right?
Words won't do!
- Did you just hit me? - Yeah, I did.
Go in, hurry and go in!
I'm sad, Mother.
I'm very, very sad.
We'll talk once you're sober.
How dare you act up like this?
Like an uneducated fool.
Did you just badmouth my mother?
Did you badmouth my mother?
Wait.
- Just stay quiet! - Why are you-
Go in! I said go in!
I don't want to leave.
I don't want to send you off.
I'm happy.
I'm thankful for that.
It's cold.
You should hurry and go in.
I'll go, you go in.
- Go in. - It's okay, go.
I'm going.
Good bye.
Wait.
What?
Be careful driving.
Don't worry about it.
You never know.
I'm really happy right now.
But I'm scared of being happy.
What happens if the devil who cursed me gets angry,
and takes you away from me?
Stop writing a drama, nothing like that will happen.
Don't call while you're driving, do it once you arrive.
All right.
Don't think about anything else and just drive.
And be aware of traffic lights.
All right, I'll do as you say.
They say you can't have everything in life.
But I didn't even get to have parents.
Rather than the kids who had no aunt as well as no parents,
I thought I was lucky and was thankful.
So until I fell in love with him,
there was nothing I desired besides a stable vocation.
Cursed by the devil with Alzheimer's at thirty, did God look at me and take pity?
That person, who I couldn't have no matter how much I wanted him,
says he'll become my man and has grabbed my hand.
I'll smile, be happy, and be with the man I've ruined,
while I'm still Lee Seo Yeon, during the time I'm allowed,
I'll do everything I can, use all my strength,
to love him as much as I can and be happy.
- Did hyungnim leave? - Yeah.
I fell asleep.
You must be tired.
- Snap out of it. - I will.
Now, what I need to do is do everything I can to slow the progression of my disease.
I'll do everything in my power.
I'll take my medicine, eat tofu, milk, and cabbage porridge,
all so that I can remain myself for just one more day in front of my man.
They were going to bind the books,
but there's quite a difference between the spine and the actual pages.
They say the spine is wider by about a millimeter and they won't be able to bind it like that.
It wasn't 80 grams through MIMO? (*MIMO - ebook technology)
That's what we ordered.
Wasn't it 100 MIMO grams?
I noted the thickness of the books as 100 MIMO grams.
What are you talking about?
First, we were going to go with 100,
but once it went over 400 pages, we decided that the volume would be too much,
and decided on 80 grams.
That's right.
What do we do?
I forgot for a moment.
I was so frazzled because we were wrapping up another book at that time.
I'm sorry, I'll adjust the thickness of the book immediately and make the films again, I'm sorry.
So Hee, please make a call to the bookbinder.
Yes.
Place the order and ask the printing office for a sketch.
Hurry.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Multiple times a day, my heart drops to my feet.
Even when we run out of coffee in the coffee maker,
for a moment I wonder if I was the one who made the mistake and get anxious.
How much longer can I continue?
Although Doctor Kim says I still have time,
it's difficult to endure the anxiety.
When it comes close to the end of the work day, I feel completely exhausted.
And next to the parking lot we're going to have cafes and convenience facilities,
it'll probably serve as the entrance to the entire layout.
And then, at that view we were talking about,
I've included a performing venue as well.
Looks good.
It includes all the points we emphasized in the beginning.
I think it's a good idea to have a place where a lot of people can get together.
The most important thing is this connecting path.
I have it in my head, but I'll have to think of it in more detail.
Why don't you think about it too?
I've been thinking of something like the path to the Washington Monument.
Me too.
And with this, I'm free for today.
I'll leave the rest to you.
Hey, about the wedding dress,
my wife says she'll let you borrow hers.
If they have similar frames, she'll only need to make a few alterations.
That's already been taken care of.
Already?
The sister of one of her coworkers is the editor for some fashion magazine.
Through her, she's gotten a brand new dress and all they're asking for is the dry cleaning bill.
- She just got it fitted yesterday. - Well that's good.
I'm going to be late like this, the curtains are arriving today,
I need to let them in.
Fine, fine.
Hurry, hurry and get out.
You're making me feel anxious.
Hurry and get out.
All right, thanks for understanding.
Have you spoken with President Cha about the proposal?
No, he wants to talk?
Didn't you see the post-it?
I put it on here.
Where did it go?
I spoke with him instead.
What is it?
They ran into some problems raising the funds so they'll have to put it off for a bit.
They want to put a stop to making the layout.
He's unbearably stingy, so let's just think of it as a good thing.
From the very beginning, we shouldn't have taken on a job we weren't happy with.
Fine, sorry. It's my fault.
Oh, right, can I suggest a florist?
- My aunt is a pretty well known florist- - We've already taken care of it.
Oh, when?
Yesterday, when we reserved the wedding hall.
Bye.
I wanted this opportunity to suck up to my aunt,
why am I always one step behind?
Aunt's been so down lately because of the lack of customers.
Maybe it's because she has no skill.
Yes, that's what I said and I got beaten up for it by my mom.
Yes, it's me.
How have you been?
Aren't you curious about what's happened to your mom after dropping that bomb?
A part of me understands why you haven't,
but from my perspective you're such an indifferent son.
There's nothing going on except the situation you're in.
Yeah, how have you been?
I've been working well, and the wedding is this Saturday at one.
Where?
How many people have you invited?
With fifty guests, must you go through with such a wedding?
I was hoping you may have had a change of heart.
I know this is a terrible thing to say to that child,
but I'm human, I can't help it.
For the sake of my son,
I wondered if it would be okay if you didn't get married and just lived together.
Must you get married?
I did say it was inhuman, didn't I?
It's shocking that you could say such a thing.
Please don't take my feelings so lightly.
I'm not pretending to be a nice guy.
I'll pretend I didn't hear it.
It's not because I took it lightly or as a joke, it's my own selfishness.
Fine.
Yeah, all right, I've only disappointed you.
I put some money into your account.
You don't have anything.
There's nothing I can give you, how could you go through with such a wedding?
I can't even be happy for or bless this marriage.
Saying you're sorry is pitiful.
You're sorry, but I hate you.
Let's hang up.
Yeah, Seo Yeon, it's me.
I'm going now.
Depending on the traffic, I think I'm going to be five to ten minutes late,
so ask for the curtains to be dropped off twenty minutes later.
I don't have the number for the shop.
You don't need to come, my aunt will be there.
Then you should've told me.
Did you forget?
I'm a dementia patient.
I guess you must have dementia too, seeing as how you've forgot I have dementia.
Where are you right now?
Where else? I'm at the office.
Can you say things like that at the office?
What do you mean?
About the dementia.
Oh...
Oh, it's okay, they all know I'm joking.
Tell him we all have dementia here.
She says to tell you everyone here has dementia.
You shouldn't use that as material for a joke.
Anyway, I'm on my way.
All right.
Don't hurry, and don't get into an accident, all right?
It smells of the home of newly-weds, doesn't it?
They say people's fates are all a matter of time...
Lee Seo Yeon is rising up in this world.
An elite groom who's studied abroad...
Forty pyungs? It looks more like a hundred. (*1 pyung = 35.586 sq ft)
Ji Hyung's interior design team took care of it.
The furniture and equipment all reek of money.
And she didn't have to pay a cent, all she brought was herself.
Normally I'd be so envious I'd get indigestion,
but now my eyes are about to explode out of my head.
Her in-laws are against the marriage, though.
If her in-laws were on board with all this, I'd really die of envy.
That mouth of yours is what drives all your luck away.
If she doesn't have to see her in-laws, she won't have to worry, it's all good.
He's still their only child, their only daughter-in-law;
where else is all that money going to go to?
What is this?
The plate set I bought along with yours.
Mom, don't take it out.
How could you give them such a cheap gift here?
I still spent quite a bit of money when I bought them!
It's not right to take them out here!
Don't humiliate yourself.
I'll show it to Seo Yeon later.
Do you need to be sly and impertinent in order to have luck with men?
Not again!
Truthfully, she has nothing going for her.
You said it too, didn't you? Like a baby stork, all she is is skinny and tall.
That was when she was young!
Team Manager, didn't you flush?
What?
Oh, I didn't use that stall.
Who did this?
I said it wasn't me!
All right, what's wrong with you?
I wasn't able to keep the promise I made with you.
I love you, love you, and love you endlessly.
What is it?
She has dementia.
Why are you only telling me this now?
Ji Hyung is getting married tomorrow.
We've been made into complete fools.
Thank you, friend.
Director Park, submit your resignation!
She has Alzheimer's.
Dementia?
Those two are so pitiful.
I waited for you, Oppa.
Tell her I want to congratulate you two.
Congratulations, Oppa, be happy.
