What are you two doing?
Are you fighting right now?
Byeongguk, did you do this?
No, it's not that.
It was an accident.
You frightened us!
We thought a war broke out.
Why are you yelling?
Are you fighting?
I said no.
We fought because of Grace Lee.
What?
Because of Grace Lee?
What do you mean?
Why are you fighting about her?
It's nothing, mom.
Mother.
Mother, do you know about Grace Lee?
I did hear about her.
But what is this all about?
The regular at my coffee shop,
the very person who gave Jinwu gifts
is Grace Lee.
Byeongguk and I had dinner with her.
So why are you fighting about her?
The two know each other very well but he
and Grace pretended not to know each other.
And there are strange rumors
about Byeongguk and Grace.
What?
What do you mean? Strange rumors?
Hey...
Aunt, not you too!
It's all a big misunderstanding!
You caused such a misunderstanding!
Yeonhui wouldn't act like this for nothing.
You must be truly mad.
Do you know who the woman is?
Gosh, it's broken.
Byeongguk, what's wrong?
How could you be so barbaric?
Are you crazy?
Don't say that.
How dare you talk to me that way?
Treat your older brother with more respect!
How could you be so rude?
Where is that housekeeper? Clean this up!
So you got mad because the two
pretended not to know each other?
It's not such a big deal.
Why would you nag your husband
who's been slaving away at work all day?
And don't you know how important
Grace Lee is to the company?
You should've just tried to understand.
You should be comforting him,
not wearing him out like this!
Mom, that's not right. I'd be mad, too.
Be quiet.
The two of them knew each other
but pretended not to in front of Yeonhui.
It's not right to be acting like strangers.
It's enough to make Yeonhui misunderstand.
Byeongguk told Yeonhui.
He didn't want Yeonhui to be uncomfortable
because Grace Lee works with him.
Being friends would be to his benefit.
Why would they be uncomfortable?
And what about the rumor?
Jinsuk!
You're taking Byeongguk's side
since he's your son and all...
This isn't about taking sides.
Don't you know?
We've waited seven years
to sign a deal with Lasar.
With such an important deal coming up,
Byeongguk can't be thinking
about such petty matters.
Just look at the state he's in!
His face used to glow
but now, he seems to have aged overnight!
You may think I'm being cruel,
but if you're smart, think about
what I said very carefully.
Tell me if you have anything to say.
I'm sorry, mother.
Must you make him leave in anger?
Leave him be. Don't nag him to death!
Has he ever done you wrong before?
He doesn't have anything to hide.
Mom.
Do you really think so?
Even the greatest of men
have something to be shameful about.
Be quiet. Go to bed!
Why are you always yelling at me?
Mother, I think I was wrong.
Don't worry. You should get some sleep.
Yes, Huija. You should stop.
Huh? Okay?
My Dear Wife
Hello?
It's me. Can you come out?
I can't. I have work to do.
Then I'll go to your house.
Let's have a drink together.
No, don't come.
Why not?
Is there a reason why I can't go?
If you come, you'll regret it.
My Dear Wife
The person you are trying to reach is not...
- Here you go. / - Thanks.
It's a Chateau. I love this wine!
How nice.
I'm sorry.
I received your calls but I didn't call back.
I know that you're busy.
So how is the contract going between my
company and Lasar? Is it going well?
Not yet but it'll go well.
Hwayeong?
Yeah?
Hwayeong?
What is it?
I'm so proud of you.
Who knew you'd return as such a success?
I'm proud of you, Hwayeong. I really am.
When I think of the past...
I told you not to talk about the past.
I'm no longer the Hwayeong you used to know.
But...
Why did you call me so many times?
Did Ms. Jeong ask you to call me?
How did you know that?
No, no.
I'm sure she wants to see me.
I'm sure she wants to meet with me.
No, it's not like that.
Gonghui.
Yes, you're right.
Don't be concerned about this.
Just be good to my son.
Your son?
You know what I mean.
My son, Jinwu.
Jinwu must visit the restaurant
from time to time.
Be especially good to him.
And tell Ms. Jeong to make an appointment
if she wants to see me.
I'll do her a favor and see her.
Okay, I will.
I'm sorry, Gonghui, but can you leave now?
I'm expecting a guest.
She invited me over to her house
only to kick me out right away.
Goodness.
Does that mean...
Hwayeong?
I've been waiting for you.
Mr. Yun?
Good morning, Miss Jeong.
Good morning.
When are you going on your summer vacation?
Vacation? I'm not sure.
If you plan to go on vacation,
why don't we all go together?
Together? With whom?
Just the two of us would be okay.
Where would you like to go?
Hawaii is nice, too.
Do you have a favorite place?
Hey.
Mr. Yun?
Have you look over my proposal?
I didn't receive it yet.
Miss Jeong, you didn't send it yet?
I was going to send it today.
What's wrong with your work?
You should be exact and be on time.
Get to work, instead of chatting away.
You should go.
Okay.
That little...
Hey, Baek Junhui.
What's wrong with you?
I'm not allowed to talk to Mr. Yun?
I think you're mistaken.
I was annoyed with you over work.
You know that?
That's funny! It's written all over your face.
Funny? You think I'm funny?
Hello.
I really hate you doing this.
Just tell me that you're jealous.
Jealous? Why would I be jealous?
What? You want to play?
Whatever!
What are they saying?
If you're curious, study English.
All set! You look so handsome, Jinwu!
Kiss.
I'm going to marry you, mom.
- Really? / - Yes.
You said you have a girl
you like at kindergarten.
Yun Aram.
I'm going to marry Aram, too.
I'll marry you all.
What's taking so long?
You'll miss your bus!
Say goodbye.
See you later, auntie.
Bye!
See you.
Yeonhui.
Did Byeongguk call?
No.
Okay, see you later.
Did Jinwu leave?
Yes, just now.
Huija, did Byeongguk call?
No, he didn't call.
This isn't right at all.
How could he not come home after a fight?
Isn't that going a bit too far?
His wife was lashing out on him.
Do you think he'd want to call?
Where's the housekeeper?
I'm really worried.
Ms. Jeong?
I have something to tell you.
What? You went to Hwayeong's house?
Yes, it was a bit late to meet elsewhere.
So what did Hwayeong say?
She said she thought you made me call her.
She's willing to do you a favor and meet you.
What? She's calling it a favor for me?
Who does she think she is?
She's not returning to America?
She didn't mention that.
Okay, you can leave.
Okay.
But I'm not sure
if I should be saying this.
What is it?
When I was leaving Hwayeong's home,
I saw Mr. Jeong.
What? What about him?
I think he was on his way to see Hwayeong.
Really? You saw him there for certain?
Yes, he parked the car in the parking lot
and went inside.
He probably went because of work.
I had asked him for a favor.
I told him to finalize the contract fast
by meeting Hwayeong.
I see.
- Ms. Lee? / - Yes?
Don't tell anyone about this.
Okay, I won't.
And I have one more thing to tell you.
What is it?
It's about the picnic for employees.
You can plan that on your own.
Okay.
Oh, no.
So Byeongguk spent the night
at Hwayeong's house last night?
He must be crazy!
What is trying to do?
Oh, no.
What did she say? We can go on the picnic?
She wants us to prepare cheerfully.
That's great.
Good morning, everybody.
Everyone seems cheerful today.
We're going on a picnic soon.
A picnic? That's great.
Good morning, professor.
Hello, Miranda.
Can you give me some coffee?
Sure, of course.
- Jessica? / - Yes, sir.
Is my cutie pie here?
Professor?
Yes?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Are you a professor of psychology?
Yes, that's right.
I'd like to ask you something.
What is the psychology
behind a man who is chasing after
a woman who calls him
a dork, a nickname that she has given
to him herself personally?
That's...
It must be a one-sided love, right?
That would be a waste of emotions.
It's not something suitable for a man your age.
I've tried it, too.
And I know how much it hurts.
Goodbye.
Hello.
Those flowers are so pretty.
They're as pretty as you.
What type of coffee do you want?
I just had my coffee. I'm here to see you.
Mr. Jeong told me what happened.
He said that there was a misunderstanding
about me and him.
He reported it to you already?
Reported?
We were talking because of work.
I'll try to understand.
Yeonhui.
How could the two of you do this to me?
You've made me into a fool.
I just can't understand you or my husband.
I'm sorry.
I didn't think much of it then.
Mr. Jeong was acting awkward
so I just didn't say anything.
I really didn't know
you'd be so upset about it.
Please don't be mad. Please?
Yeonhui.
The only thing I can tell you
is that I just don't understand.
You were sitting there face to face,
yet you pretended to be strangers!
How is that possible?
Mr. Jeong and I are both business people.
With business, we must be able to mask
our emotions when necessary.
That's how we survive.
If you found out that
Mr. Jeong and I knew each other,
I thought you'd be concerned.
It was an instinctive reaction.
And the rumors?
Do you know there's a strange
rumor about you two?
After coming back from the States,
I met with Mr. Jeong almost every day.
Do you know how hard we're working
to make this deal work?
If we're together, people will talk.
And I know that there are rumors
going around about us.
But how could you of all people take such
rumors so seriously?
That really breaks my heart.
Yeonhui.
You understand where I'm coming from, right?
I don't know. I'm still mad at you.
Then what will I do?
I still like you so much.
Ma'am, we're here.
Two glasses of iced water, please.
Yeonhui, I'll come by again soon.
Hey, Bae Chuja.
Ma'am?
Ssangsun made some gimbap.
She wanted you to have some.
- Gimbap? / - Yes.
I've made some anchovy gimbap.
It just tastes so good.
She's willing to do you a favor and meet you.
I think he was on his way to see Hwayeong.
Hey, dork.
Giseop, don't you have a lecture to teach?
When are you leaving?
Why?
I'm a very busy person.
I'm sorry but can you leave?
I guess I'm too old for one-sided love.
Someone told me
that it's a waste of emotions.
Aren't you a professor of psychology?
You realize that now?
I'm leaving.
Okay, goodbye.
I'll be back.
Oh, gee.
Hello?
It's me.
Thank you for coming.
It's only right that I be here.
You are Mr. Jeong Byeongguk's aunt
and my former employer.
Yes, though that's beside the point.
Have you heard the rumors that's been
going around?
Since we're both busy, I'll cut to the chase.
Go back to New York
before things get any worse.
I still have a lot of work to do here.
Can't you understand Korean?
Then shall I say it to you in English?
Before more rumors surface,
I want you to leave.
I'm here as Lasar's assistant
manager of the Asia branch.
And you want me to leave amidst a contract?
What gives you the right to say that?
I know only the final decision is left now.
The headquarters will take care of the rest.
So you should give them an excuse,
any excuse at all,
and return to the headquarters.
I'm sure you know why I'm saying this
without me spelling it out for you.
You know better than anyone else
why you can't get involved with Byeongguk.
I'm already involved with him.
I love Mr. Jeong Byeongguk.
What?
How can you say that?
Did you forget who Byeongguk is?
You were his surrogate.
He's the father of the baby
you gave birth to as a surrogate.
So how can you say this?
That's not important right now.
Then what is important?
Are you out of your mind?
That's really rude of you to say.
Am I out of my mind?
Lee Hwayeong.
I don't know what you may think
but I'm sincere.
Of course, Mr. Jeong thinks the same way.
When we first met,
we fell in love like it was fate.
You may say it's a bit cheesy,
but that's now love is supposed to be.
Stop your nonsense.
Try to be reasonable.
There are many men out there.
Why does it have to be Byeongguk?
You're attractive and successful.
You can meet a good guy.
So why
does it have to be Byeongguk?
Are you scared because I told you
that I love Byeongguk?
Regardless of our relationship,
I'll keep quiet about Jinwu if you want me to.
But you shouldn't interfere
with what happens between us.
That's between us.
Lee Hwayeong!
How dare you!
Know your place!
My place?
What about you?
You're an old maid sitting in your restaurant
getting older and crazier by the minute.
All you do is count money.
Why are you meddling in my affairs?
Have some respect.
How many times must I tell you
that this deal is in my hands?
Oh.
Please say hello to Mrs. Jeong, too.
You're back.
Will you get me a glass of water?
Ms. Jeong?
Are you not feeling well?
Chef Bae?
Yes?
Am I...
Am I an old maid
who is getting crazier by the minute?
An old maid who idly counts money?
What? Who said that?
Ms. Jeong, I don't know what this is about
but it's just not true.
You're an eligible single.
Yes, you're a very eligible bachelorette.
Besides, you're attractive with a nice figure.
You're all-around perfect.
Yes.
Here.
A woman is an expressive being.
Men are "instrumental" and
women are "expressive."
Women are better
at showing expression than men.
Sadness, anger and pride.
You may go now.
Okay then.
Tears are like weapons for women.
But why does my heart ache like this?
Honey.
You should sleep in the bedroom.
- What time is it? / - Midnight.
Where's Junhui?
She'll be late. I'll give her a piece of my mind.
Let her be. I'm sure she has a good reason.
I just don't understand you.
When Yeonhui was late, you got so mad.
Why are you being so lenient on Junhui?
I guess I'm getting old now.
No, I guess I'm more understanding now.
It's because you love Yeonhui so much more.
You're always raving about Yeonhui.
You're right.
Yeonhui was the more precious and
adorable to me than anything.
And it's still true.
I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
People say when you get
old, it's all about the wife.
How could he still love Yeonhui so much?
Oh.
The person you are trying to reach is not...
Mom, why isn't dad coming down?
Oh, he couldn't come home last night.
Did you call him?
He's not picking up.
Why did you upset Byeongguk?
You have to treat men like babies.
When you were raising Byeongguk,
you were always yelling at him.
Jinsuk.
Try this.
It's really delicious.
Are you a fool?
She was always saying I was too picky.
Jinwu, want to try this?
Mom, when is dad coming home?
He'll be here soon.
Jinwu, you should eat.
Did Byeongguk call you?
Just who exactly is this Grace Lee?
I'm sure you know.
Well, the thing is...
Oh, no.
Should I tell her Hwayeong is Grace Lee?
She's sure to have a fit.
This won't do.
I'll go see him myself.
You do that. Try to persuade Byeongguk.
Coax him like a baby and bring him home.
Why is he doing this?
Jim Smith hasn't called from Lasar yet.
I spoke with him yesterday
so you'll be hearing good news soon.
I wish the decision was out soon.
Why are they taking so long?
I said not to worry. You don't trust me?
I'll trust you, Grace Lee.
Mr. Lee.
Did Red Peace call yet?
I almost forgot about the appointment.
I'll be going now.
Hello, ma'am.
Oh, it's been a while.
Are you going somewhere?
I was going to the restroom, but
I'll walk you to the office.
It's okay. I can go alone so you should go.
Okay.
Thank you for doing such a great job.
Do you know
how difficult the main office can be?
And I'm sure you know how
hard I worked for you.
Yes, I know. I'm truly grateful.
If it weren't for you,
I may have disqualified your company.
What can I do for you?
