Minjun, I heard my mother went to see you?
Why was she there?
You know I can't say.
You should ask your mother.
I know you're a workaholic
but try to be more attentive to your mother.
I will. Thanks. Let's grab a drink sometime.
Divorce Application, Kang Taeseop, Jang Soshim
Oh, I...
Soshim! What are you doing?
Episode 45
Espresso, Americano,
cappuccino, cafe latte,
vanilla latte, caramel macchiato.
Those are the coffee drinks.
And for teas, we have green, black, herbal.
And the herbal teas we have are...
Hold on.
Did I miss something?
No, when did you memorize all that?
I studied for this interview.
And I'm pretty smart.
Everyone says
I would've become a very influential person
had I received proper education.
You look young for your age,
but you are a bit older than I expected.
Being older isn't a disadvantage.
I'm more hardworking than younger folks,
and the things they consider gross,
like cleaning the bathroom, mopping,
and doing the dishes.
I'm really good at those things.
Plus, my fortuneteller said I should be
in the beverage selling business...
Pardon?
Never mind.
So I got the job?
Yes.
Haewon recommended you, and
I like how friendly and motivated you are.
Thank you.
I'll work extremely hard.
You won't regret it.
I think she got the job.
I can't believe she got a job in this economy!
You said Haewon gave her a recommendation?
I knew it. She got it through connections.
Connections don't get you jobs.
You have to have the skills.
Just look at her. She looks as sharp as a tack.
Did you take your medicine?
Yes, I did.
Myeongnan, see how good
Soshim is to my brother?
Yes, I do.
I still can't believe my eyes.
I knew this day would come,
father and mother!
I only asked him if he took his medicine.
It was no big deal.
Did she just sigh?
Are you disappointed I didn't die?
That's not it, father!
I can tell you are disappointed!
I saw how you looked upset ever since
I came home.
How can you sigh when the mood is so nice!
I didn't mean to!
Yes, you did!
Did you forget how he got hurt?
You should be thanking him, but instead,
you and Dongseok are acting really rude!
It's not like that, uncle.
You say it's not, but it looks like it.
Don't you think so, too, Myeongnan?
You think so, don't you, Haeju?
No comment.
I'm sure it's not like that.
Are you saying that because she's your sister?
Oh, she's my sister?
When I come here, I forget all about that.
I'll get more watermelon punch.
I'm already stuffed!
You want my stomach to burst so I can die?
Oh, that's enough. Stop it!
She doesn't seem upset. Don't be mean to her.
Don't take it the wrong way.
Haewon was born with a sour expression.
What were you doing? I ought to kill you!
Just kill me, why don't you.
What!
I can't believe you just said that!
My head is about to explode,
so just leave me alone and get out.
How dare you!
Go out there right now and tell father
you were whistling, not sighing,
because you were happy about how well
mother and father were getting along.
Do you think I'm crazy?
Hey!
You should go and ask her
why she is acting that way.
Ask her what she has planned.
Haewon.
When did she decide that? You go and...
Don't go back there.
Go to your room and hide under your blanket.
Haeju!
"You two look great together.
I'm so happy for you."
That's what you should be saying!
If you keep acting up like this,
you just might get kicked out of this house!
I wish I got kicked out!
What!
If I want to stay alive, I shouldn't live here.
You would prefer that, too, wouldn't you?
Haewon.
Why are you sitting out here?
Don't just stare. Answer me.
I don't know how to tell you this.
How can I make this less shocking for you?
I won't get shocked. Tell me.
I think your mother's thinking about divorce.
Are you in shock?
I heard she went to see a lawyer friend of mine,
but I didn't know it was for that.
Oh, she did...
Nobody else knows.
Your father doesn't know.
Are you really trying to piss me off?
You washed this?
Yes.
Didn't you see the tag
that says "dry clean only"?
Did you even learn to read?
I'm sorry, I forgot to check.
This is my favorite shirt!
Why didn't you pay attention?
I'll buy you another one.
That goes without saying!
We should go inside. Let's go.
It was your mother who chose me.
I know why you two look so sour,
but your mom chose me over Yeongchun.
I'll be better from now on.
I'll be a good from now on.
I'll be good to your mom.
I'll be good to you kids.
I'll be good to your uncles, aunts and even
the neighbor's dog your mom likes.
Yes, you do that.
Make it up to mother for
all the mistakes and wrongdoings.
I'm home.
Oh, hi.
Mother.
I told Dongseok everything.
Don't you think you should talk to us?
You're thinking about getting a divorce?
Yeah.
Why? Why all of a sudden?
I just want to. That's all.
But father has changed.
He truly regrets everything.
He looks like he's changed, right?
He's not a bad person, your father.
That's why you kids turned out so good.
What else though?
So I want him to take over now, so I can go.
Go? Where will you go?
Yes. I don't want to be someone's mom,
someone's wife, or someone's daughter-in-law.
I just want to be me, Jang Soshim.
I don't know how many years I have left,
but I want to live as me.
But that's...
Mother, that's...
It sounds ridiculous?
Too bad. I really want to quit.
Mother.
You do it.
Help your father-in-law run this household.
You'll do a great job.
Oh, I can't. Why would I do that?
I can't do anything without you.
I just can't understand.
Mother, why? What are you thinking?
I just can't understand you.
Even so, it can't be helped.
Sometimes, even I can't understand
why I'm doing this.
So how could you understand me?
I couldn't help you with that.
Mother!
This is wrong!
Anyway, your father looks fine, but he's not.
So don't stir things up by talking.
I'll sort things out one by one,
so you kids help me with that.
You can't leave, mother.
You can never leave this house.
I'll do whatever it takes to stop you.
I even kicked Yeongchun out to do this.
You can't stop me, no matter what.
So don't waste your time, okay?
Mother!
Yeongchun!
Why are you coming home so late?
What if you run into hoodlums?
What do you care?
How can you say...
Right. It's none of my business.
I don't have any right.
Hold on!
The whole time I was in the hospital
and even when I came home, there were
three people who didn't bother to check in.
Ssangshik, Donghui, and you.
How could you do that to me?
Didn't you hear how I got hurt?
You want me to say thank you?
No.
My motto is "Don't let your left hand know
what your right hand does."
You know that!
I'm a little tired right now.
Hold on!
What!
What are these?
I heard you're moving out tomorrow.
I got these for you.
What? They're not good enough?
I'll buy you more when I make money.
Okay.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, Yeongchun.
You're getting kicked out because of me.
I can't believe my ears, Kang Taeseop.
You've finally grown up.
I've seen many who died
right after getting it together.
So you should be careful.
I'll take care of Donghui, so don't worry.
Why would I worry about Donghui?
He's your son. Not mine.
Be good to Soshim!
I let you live because of Soshim,
so be the best you can be to her.
If you go back to the way you were
and hurt her again,
I'll hunt you down and kill you.
Got it, Kang Taeseop?
Is she so mean because she's had a tough life?
She could've just wished us happiness
instead of threatening me.
Who would want to marry her!
Kang Ssangshik! You come out right now!
I got hospitalized for doing something great,
and you didn't even come to visit!
Not even when I came home!
I can forgive those who commit treason.
But I can't forgive rude bastards like you.
Whoa! That was word for word!
He's done that six times today.
You did go to the hospital! Just tell him!
No. He's not someone I'd like to be close with.
How strange.
You always defend him when he's not around.
That's enough. Let's go to bed.
He'll go home eventually.
Get the blankets.
What!
Let's beat them to it and
tell them we're getting a divorce!
Then she won't want to get divorced.
That's what you came up with?
You and I can fight all the time,
and you and Donghui can fight all the time.
Tell Donghui to get into lots of trouble,
and tell Dongok to do something bad, and...
Haewon!
We have to keep her feeling nervous.
Don't let her relax.
Make her worry all the time
so she can't leave this house!
Tell your father to stop regretting
and start acting even worse than before...
Don't look at me like you're appalled.
This is the only way to make her stay.
Where are you going?
I need some fresh air.
Think about what I said!
This is the only way!
Don't cry when I'm gone, Soshim.
I wouldn't cry when you're gone.
I know that's what you will do.
When I went on an outing one time,
you went looking for me, calling my name,
sobbing, like you'd lost your own baby.
When? I don't even remember.
Good. Don't remember then.
Erase me from your memory,
and fill it up with happy memories
with Mr. Kang Taeseop, Dongtak's father.
You're okay that I'm kicking you out, right?
You didn't kick me out. I'm leaving on my own.
You gave me true freedom.
Freedom?
Yes, freedom.
The freedom for me to
be happy without Donghui or you.
Yes, freedom.
That's what I gave you.
I always thought I hadn't given you anything,
but I gave you something great.
Yes, Soshim.
Thank you. I've always been grateful.
Soshim, can you give me a hug?
Yes, yes.
I'll live close by, so let's see each other often.
I can't come here, so you come and visit me.
Okay.
Yeongchun?
Yes?
Donghui will be fine with his brothers
so don't worry about him.
I won't worry about him.
I was more worried about you than Dongok,
but I'm glad to see how brave you're being.
Can you see?
No!
Why is it so dark? I can't see a thing.
Stop trying to look cool.
Take your sunglasses off.
Oh, no wonder I couldn't see anything.
You've seen that on TV?
Just look for granny.
Dad, I can't see granny.
It must be her day off today.
Let's go home.
Oh!
Did you find her?
That looks delicious.
Kang Dongwon! Stop fooling around!
What are you doing here?
Oh, what are you doing here?
Can it be? Did you come to see me?
We did come to see you, granny.
We've been coming every day!
No, we didn't come to see you.
The kids wanted shaved ice.
You wanted to come everyday just to see her!
And he never bought us any shaved ice.
Shh.
Oh...
You lied to your kids? That's not nice.
Granny will buy you shaved ice.
Oh!
Let's eat.
Here!
This one has blueberries.
This one has mangoes,
and this one has sweet red beans.
Enjoy.
-Oh, yeah! - Oh, yeah!
You shouldn't spend money so frivolously.
One is enough.
They won't be able to finish them all.
We can! Just watch.
Don't you know how much he loves shaved ice?
Enjoy.
Oh, you little darlings.
Don't eat so fast. Slow down.
Dad, have a bite.
Oh! It's Uncle Dongseok.
Hey.
The usual?
Yes, please.
I think moving out was a great idea.
Excuse me?
Now you come here every day to see me.
They came to see me secretly,
and I caught them.
Oh.
Here.
What's this?
It's cold medicine.
You were coughing yesterday.
Thanks.
How's your new apartment?
Do you need anything?
It's great!
Thanks to you, I found a great apartment,
and thanks to Haewon, I got a great job.
I can't believe how lucky I am.
And your mother's well?
I called her, and she seemed so fine without me
that I almost felt upset.
Yes, mother's doing well.
When you make chili pepper paste,
you have to sift barley malt and boil it.
What did I just say?
My stomach hurts,
so can we take a short break?
But you just took a break!
You want this to take all day?
It'll take more than a day to teach me this.
What?
I can't even make instant noodles,
so how can I make chili paste?
The frustration from teaching someone
like me can give you a stroke.
So why don't you just stay with us
and make chili paste and soy bean paste...
They have this at the market so buy it.
It's a fast-paced world. So don't learn this.
Just buy it at the market.
- Soshim. - Soshim!
Oh, hello.
Soshim, can you come with us to your room?
Why?
You'll see why.
What's this?
It's new bedding.
We all pitched in and got you this.
We heard you didn't really have
a honeymoon period when you were young.
So sleep in this bedding,
and enjoy a sweet honeymoon period.
Your life will be much sweeter from now on.
Oh, and these are matching pajamas
for you and your husband.
I picked them out especially for you.
Myeongnan, this is foul play.
We decided to share the costs!
But you're kissing up with this?
What about Ssangshik and me?
I'm not kissing up!
Why can't I buy Soshim pajamas?
We should've done it together, equally!
Stop that! That's nothing to quarrel about!
I don't need these so return them.
We heard Taeseop's moving in tonight.
So just keep them, Soshim.
Father is moving into mother's room?
You didn't know? He's moving in tonight.
That's what I heard.
Who told you that?
Would you like another one?
No, one is enough.
You'll find fresh new bedding there.
Myeongnan even got scented candles
and matching pajamas.
Good.
Myeongnan has a great eye for detail.
She makes everything a work of art.
Ho, I'm not getting ahead of myself, am I?
Oh, Taeseop!
Soshim made Yeongchun move out!
Yeongchun's been gone for a long time,
but she hasn't asked me to move in.
She's woman. She's just shy.
You should make the the first move.
Right?
That's why we got you new bedding!
Make this your D-Day.
Okay. I won't waste your efforts.
I'll move into the master bedroom tonight.
Oh, Misuk!
Did the bedding arrive safely?
Yes.
How did Soshim react? She loved it, right?
Well, I'm not sure if she loved it or not.
She's just feeling shy. That's all.
Go inside, Taeseop.
They even got her new bedding,
so she won't push for divorce, will she?
She wouldn't do that, right?
Oh, my head! I'm going crazy.
Soshim, I'm home.
Did your doctor's appointment go well?
Yes, the scar has healed. I'm all better now.
That's good.
I heard Ho and Shik sent us something?
Yes, they got us new bedding.
Oh! New bedding?
But what good is that?
You won't let me into your room.
Come in.
Huh?
Come in to my room.
When?
Now. I need to talk to you, so come in.
Father, are you watching?
I'm finally going into Soshim's room!
Divorce Application
What's this?
Just stamp your name seal next to your name.
So what is this?
I'm illiterate, but you can read, can't you?
So you want to divorce me?
Yes.
Soshim, are you kidding me right now?
No, I'm not.
Have you gone mad?
I'm not crazy.
I'm sorry, this is the best I can do.
You let Yeongchun move out to live with me,
so what are you doing?
I never asked you to live with me.
I let Yeongchun leave to divorce you.
What did I do wrong?
What did I ever do wrong?
I caught the bastard
who stole Yeongchun's money,
and I almost died saving Dongseok!
Thank you. I'm very grateful for that.
I won't ever forget what you did.
Bring more copies.
Bring me ten, twenty copies.
I'll rip them all up so bring me more!
Listen well. I won't divorce you!
I'm throwing my name seal into the lake,
so if you really want to divorce me,
you go and fish it out.
Father?
Water, please.
Get me a glass of water.
I think I can leave our kids to you now
and I won't be worried.
Get well soon and be a father to them.
I'll step aside,
so be a good father to them.
I want a break.
I'm too tired, so I'm taking a break.
When you get well,
I want a divorce, Mr. Kang Taeseop.
Father, here's the water.
So that wasn't a dream.
Excuse me?
I thought it was a dream, but it wasn't.
Who is it? Your spy?
How odd.
Why is your father's phone turned off?
He must be having a good time with mother.
He wouldn't want to talk to you.
Right?
I'm worried that Haewon might
do something stupid.
Dad!
Mul, did you take lots of pictures?
Yes! I posted them all up on my blog.
My friends must be green with envy.
So today's shoot is over?
I'm done with the scenes on my script,
but they are asking me to wait.
After "I'm a Fake," my scenes increased.
You're bored, aren't you?
No!
We tagged along and came camping,
thanks to your shoot.
Dad, who's the special guest?
Yes, who is it?
There's no mention of who it is online,
and the staff is treating it like top secret.
Tell us who it is.
Yes, dad. I won't tell anyone.
I didn't see who it was. Who could it be?
Dongtak!
Ms. Jo Suji is coming right after...
Zip it!
The special guest is Jo Suji?
Mom's the special guest?
Yes.
You should've told us!
Anyway, I'm sorry.
Don't let it get to you or anything.
I don't care.
I'm Mul's mom now, not her, so what do I care?
I know.
Oh, I'm soaking the rice. I should go check on it.
I'm going back to the tent.
Mom, wait for me!
Oh, you should've told me.
Haeju?
Actually...
I really...
I know you, Dongtak.
Don't worry. I'm fine.
What time do you want dinner?
Well...
It'll be just you and Mul.
Why?
It's the director's birthday, so everyone is
getting together for a surprise party.
Really?
I wasn't going to go, but...
Why wouldn't you?
If you don't go, the director will notice.
Go and have fun.
Will Jo Suji be there?
I don't know.
She will, I think.
I heard she's friends with the director.
Can't you just keep your mouth shut?
I'm sorry, Haeju. I'll say hi and come back.
It's okay. Don't worry about me.
Go say hi and have fun.
Mul, when do you want dinner?
Can I go eat with my friend?
He's here too, so I want to hang out with him.
Okay, then. Go.
Tell him to come here and have dinner!
But I already told him I'm coming!
Go! I'm glad I don't have to make dinner.
We eat dinner together every night,
so it's nice to eat separately!
You go ahead.
How did you come up with all that?
You told me.
I didn't.
Birth mom.
Kang Dongseok is your brother.
Father. So here is the mother who raised you.
Mul's father and Dongok are here and here.
Mr. Kang's place is here, Ms. Jo is here.
You remember all that?
Of course! I remember everything you told me!
Good.
I was worried because I'm not smart,
but since you're smart, I can stop worrying.
One smart parent is good enough for the kids.
Did you just proposed to me?
That was the second one.
The third time, you have to marry me, okay?
I want you to meet my mom tomorrow.
What?
You'll say hi to Ms. Jang Soshim first,
then meet Ms. Ha Yeongchun, my birth mom.
You'll introduce me to your family?
I thought you wouldn't want to marry me
if you met my mom, Jang Soshim,
but I'll introduce you to her.
If that gives you cold feet, too bad.
Why do you think it'll give me cold feet?
Is she a jealous mother?
Or is she really mean?
No, but when you see my mom,
you'd wonder why people get married at all.
You'd see how tough marriage is.
If she didn't get married and lived alone,
she would be much happier now.
What are you talking about?
It's nothing.
Show me what you'll wear
to see my mom tomorrow.
You better not dress scantily!
I'll wear hanbok, okay?
Good.
Father, I brought you dinner.
I made chicken and ginseng soup, your favorite.
You haven't eaten anything all day.
Eat it before it gets cold.
I won't do it.
I'd rather die than divorce her.
So you should eat.
You must eat so you can think, reflect,
and apologize to her.
You need strength to stop this divorce.
I'll try everything to stop this, too.
I'll try really hard to change mother's mind,
so please eat something.
Are you on my side then?
No.
Then?
This isn't for you.
I'm doing this for Donghui and Dongok
who still need their mother.
And it's for my husband
who came home after 15 years.
It's for Kang Dongseok who just began
to express to his mother that he loves her.
The witness interviews for
the hit and run case is tomorrow?
Yes.
Oh, the initial interview report is missing.
I'm sorry. I forgot about it.
I'll get it.
The witness accounts were all over the place,
so let's summon them again...
Just a second.
Attorney Oh Minjun
Hi, Minjun.
My mother?
Mother.
Oh, what are you doing here?
Do you have to get a divorce?
Your father won't divorce me.
Of course he won't.
So I talked to my lawyer,
and he said we'll have to go to court.
If there's no agreement, that's the only way.
So I'm taking him to court.
Mother!
You think I'm being weird, right?
Then help me understand you.
Before, you couldn't even leave the house
because of Dongok,
but you're ignoring that
and pushing forward with this.
So help me understand why.
If your reasons are convincing enough,
I'll be your lawyer.
Dr. Wujin, you said you weren't hungry.
I'm not. I'm eating this just because.
Did you just smile at me?
No.
You did. I saw you.
No, I didn't smile.
You're a really good liar.
You're an expert.
I'm not lying!
I only smiled a little.
Oh, I'm full.
But you didn't eat much.
Your smile made me feel full.
Oh, you smiled again.
Oh! I'm full!
Oh! I'm stuffed!
I love you, Dongok.
What is it? I was having a good time.
The key to the medicine storage?
Yes, I have it.
Now?
Why does it have to be now?
Kang Mul, you think I don't know?
You went to Jo Suji, too, didn't you?
She's his mom, so he should see her.
She gave birth to him, after all.
Oh, my stomach. Maybe it's because
I'm drinking on an empty stomach.
Why didn't I stay home with San?
Why did I ask to come along?
And why did it have to be Jo Suji?
Of all actresses!
Why am I crying? Stop it.
Who is it?
Let me go before I scream!
Let me go before I kick you!
One, two, three!
How could I leave you here?
Dongtak, let me go.
Let me go right now! Oh, my!
Hey! Let me go. I'm scared.
Dongtak, please!
Let go of me.
What's this?
You call what you were having dinner?
Mom!
Sit down, please.
What about your friend?
I told him I'll see him when we go home.
This is my first camping trip with you,
so I thought I should stay with you.
What about the director's birthday party?
They don't need me at that party,
but you do need me here.
Won, go for a 1-minute walk with Mul.
Why bother going on a 1-minute walk?
Alright.
Let's go!
We'll make it a 30-minute walk, dad.
Oh...
What happened today will happen more often.
Jo Suji and I are in the same business,
so unless one quits, we'll run into each other.
Will you be this nervous each time?
I didn't ask to feel nervous.
I tried not to, but I can't control my heart.
You're too charming for me not to be.
I can't help it.
I can't help being too charming,
but I'll be good to you.
I'll show you and make you see
that you're the only woman for me.
I promise.
I wanted to show you I was okay with this,
but it's so hard!
No, no. There are too many people here.
But I didn't do anything.
What were you thinking? You're so naughty!
I wasn't thinking anything! I was just...
I love you, Dongok.
Put them in the trunk.
Hold on!
No, no! You can't take them.
I didn't open the door for you to do this!
Don't worry.
I'll talk to Wujin.
Still, you have to wait until he comes home.
You can't take anything from his room!
Excuse me!
Whatever you say, you can't do it!
You can't, so wait until he comes home.
I'm Wujin's mom, ma'am.
I don't know if you're really Wujin's mom!
It's not like you have written proof.
Ma'am!
Whatever! I don't believe you,
so if you want to prove it,
bring me a copy of your family tree.
Ma'am!
She's telling the truth.
She is Dr. Wujin's mom, Jaesuk.
Oh, Dongok.
Did you hear that?
How are you?
Not well, thanks to you.
Why didn't you come to the cafe?
I asked you to meet me.
You think you can ignore me like that?
No, no!
I don't think I can ignore you.
Wait, hold on.
Mother?
Don't you have anything to say to me?
I have a lot to say to you.
What are you going to do with my son?
Should I beg?
No, don't beg, don't.
Then what should I do?
What will it take for you to let Wujin go?
What!
Dr. Wujin's mom came,
and she's screaming at Dongok right now.
What are you talking about?
I've been watching, and Dongok and Wujin
seemed to have something going on.
Now I know for sure.
Those two are like this, right?
So! His mom is grabbing at Dongok's hair!
Not "is grabbing at," but is "is going to grab at"!
You should've pushed him away
even when he wouldn't go.
I know you're slow,
but you should be able to discern...
You're the one having
problems discerning things.
What did you say?
I think you're being unnecessarily harsh.
And who are you?
How can you push away a man
who won't go away?
How can you, when he actually moved here!
And how could a person push away another?
You should be talking to your son...
I asked who you were!
I'm her...
Stop it.
Who made my baby cry?
Yes, yes, your dad is here.
I said stop it.
Mother!
Don't get in Dongok's business and go home.
Let her handle her own affairs.
I can't do that.
Do you think you can outlive Dongok?
Are you sure you can outlive her
and protect her until she dies?
Mother!
Soshim, how can you say such a thing!
Only those who are sure
of that should defend her.
Only then, can you speak in her place,
wipe away her tears when she cries,
and give her a hug when she needs one.
Everyone, tomorrow I'm meeting...
I'm going to bring a woman home tomorrow.
The woman you'll marry?
Yes.
Honey! Soshim and Taeseop are divorcing!
- Divorcing? - Divorce!
What are you talking about? That's serious!
Good job.
That tiny woman never complained,
and she endured everything and everyone.
It must have been so exhausting...
This is bad. I shouldn't side with her, but...
Stamp your seal here, father.
- You! - Mother wants to do this.
So please.
This is really bad.
