I'll take one too.
Goodness... I'm sorry.
It's alright. Please sit down.
I'll compensate you for it. How much will it cost?
No, it's really alright.
Still...
Nature and art. It is based on Europeans' enjoyment of life.
- They're starting. - Craftsmanship and function.
It began in the fashion capital, Italy.
Outstanding functions and style...
Now, not only locally, but in Europe...
1, 2...
- 3. - Excuse me.
Yes? What is it?
I feel terrible not paying for the damage.
If you don't want money, then something else.
You must be busy.
I have time for a coffee.
- Just buy me a cup of coffee. - Shall I?
You must be interested in running a business.
Are you a student? What do you do?
I'm a journalist.
IBC Hwang Taebeom?
What kind of business are you preparing then?
- Can I hear about it? - If you'd like.
You're in the social affairs team. Do you know Prosecutor Yun
of the Eastern Seoul office?
- Prosecutor? - He's my husband. Do you know him?
- Hwang Taebeom. - Wait a minute.
Why?
I'm not Hwang Taebeom.
What? Excuse me! Mr. Hwang!
- Are you alright? - Yes, sorry.
Let's get married, but a contracted marriage for 1 year.
A contracted marriage?
After a year, we will both decide whether to continue or not.
If we both want it, then we will keep living together.
If one of us wants to end the marriage.
Then we'll break up.
You'll marry me, but you want a wild card to divorce after a year?
Neither of us love each other.
You're marrying for the baby and your parents.
Also, you need safety from other people's judgment and attention.
It's not because you feel love for me.
- That's right. - Which is why I say this.
A man and woman who don't know each other well.
Getting on a bus that has no door to exit.
Living together forever when we don't know where we're headed...
That's not just nerve-racking. It's terrifying.
Let's create a safety device to escape from that terror.
It's for both of us.
As I said, just because I'm getting old...
I can't marry someone who's just suitable.
If I do get married.
I wanted to get married with a woman who'd make my heart explode.
Marriage was never about when or why.
Just who I would marry. Now I...
Stop it. You don't have to keep explaining.
I told you already that I would accept any condition.
Okay, let's do it. A contracted marriage for a year.
- But I have a condition too. - Tell me.
You have to be devoted to married life.
Focus on each other and be true to the marriage like other couples.
If you're just trying to break up with me after a year...
See? We don't know each other.
Is it really right for us to get married?
I'm having doubts again.
I may do something bad openly, but I don't sneak around.
If I did, I wouldn't even bother making this proposal.
That makes me curious.
Why did you change your mind?
I felt like I was doing the wrong thing to everyone.
Our parents and most of all, to you.
How must you feel begging a man you don't love to marry you?
I wouldn't be able to do that if I was you.
You must be in so much pain. I can't even imagine it.
And... To tell the truth.
I don't have any feelings yet, but you do have...
I didn't want to hurt our child.
Then it's alright.
I know there's a condition, but thanks for deciding to marry me.
I mean it.
If you're true to this marriage, as you promised...
I won't ask for anything more.
This wasn't an impulsive decision.
I promise to do my best.
I hope our efforts will save us.
I mean it.
Excuse me, are Hana's pants ready?
Hello. Of course.
Let's see. Where are Hana's pants?
Here they are.
- Here. - Wait...
I'll take this too. I'll drop it off.
Taesik, are you inside?
Isn't he home yet?
Taesik!
He must've been rushed this morning.
What is it?
You thief!
Grandma! It's me!
Grandma, it's me.
- Misuk! - Grandma...
What are you doing in here?
No, grandma. It's not like that.
This.
The dry cleaning lady asked me to give this to Taesik.
So I dropped by.
I'll hang this up here. I'm going then.
Goodbye.
Does Taesik know this?
Does he know that you enter his room?
No, grandma. This is the first time.
I've never done this before. Please, don't tell Taesik.
It's really my first time.
Please just let it go this time.
I made some sandwiches. Would you like some?
I thought you came to leave his clothes. You made that too?
I made some for Hana to eat. I wanted to share it.
Have some.
- You want me to eat this and be quiet? - Yes, grandma.
Please let it go this time. I won't do it again.
Well... We'll see how you act.
Is there anything you want to eat?
Yes, I have good news.
I think I will have a daughter-in-law soon.
Is Taesik getting married at last?
Not Taesik, but Taebeom. The journalist, my 2nd son.
It's okay for the younger son to go first these days. Bye.
- See you. - Yes.
I'm going home now. Something came up and I couldn't attend class.
Who told you to come? Take your tent and go.
I'll never get annoyed at you like I did this morning.
It's not like you told me to do it. You must've been shocked.
I won't do it again.
Give it to me.
I'm really strong, aren't I?
Is your 2nd son getting married?
Is that why you are so happy?
I feel happy if I don't see you.
I know you're saying that on purpose.
You're just trying to wear me out so I clear out with my tent, right?
I'm glad you know it.
Wow, apples. I love apples.
I'm just saying.
Do you know that you walk really fast?
Even so, your legs are shorter than mine.
Where are you working later? The pear field? The pepper field?
Oh, my gosh.
What's the matter?
- The color has changed. - Move.
Oh, my goodness. Over here as well.
- Oh, my goodness. - What is it?
A pear plague.
I was worried because we had so much rain. They're infected.
We have to stop this today. Even if we stay up all night.
This year's harvest is ruined.
How do we stop it?
Watch carefully.
Cut off the infected parts and leave it there.
Then spray this on the part where you cut it.
- Cut this too. - Yes.
Cut the black parts, collect them and spray the cut parts.
We're going to burn these later, aren't we?
Yes.
Do we have to spray all these trees?
When will we finish?
Goodness. Look at the time.
Taebeom and Suyeong will be here. We haven't even done half.
I'll do it. I can do it alone. You go inside.
I can do it.
See? I'm good, aren't I?
I called the restaurant. The pen was made for their 10th anniversary.
Really? Then they gave it to their customers?
- When? - January 9, 2007. Just that day.
January, 2007...
There were only 3 Koreans who visited that day.
Do you have the names?
Not yet. They said they will fax it over tomorrow.
Do you think it's the chief, Baek Inho and Professor Seo?
It could be them or another third party.
- Tell me once you have the names. - Yes.
Let's go have lunch. How about pollack soup?
She's here again. She comes often these days.
Is there something going on between you two?
Don't be ridiculous.
Taehui!
Enjoy yourselves then.
Seo Dongmin! Dongmin!
It's lunchtime, right? Let's eat together.
I'm busy. I don't have time to eat with you.
Then when are you free? I'll wait, okay?
Let go!
Don't cling to me when you speak. I have good hearing.
Lieutenant Hwang who has good hearing, how about coffee then?
Just 10 minutes.
Hey!
Put some clothes on. You'll catch a cold.
Taehui! Wait for me!
Tell me the truth.
Hyeonjae says he doesn't know Suyeong is pregnant.
I don't think that's true. Tell me everything you know.
- Ask Suyeong yourself. - Nam Yeoul!
He knows that she's pregnant.
I knew it. Just as I thought.
How did you find out? Tell me!
I overheard them talking at a hotel cafe.
Suyeong asked him to marry her, but he refused.
What else did they talk about?
He was on a blind date and Suyeong had come to interfere.
What? A blind date? She went to interfere?
Cha Suyeong is crazy! She's lost her mind!
She has lost all common sense.
She has no brain!
It's a contracted marriage. Let's set detailed conditions and rules.
We can reach an agreement on things we can't compromise.
- Okay. - Me first.
Don't tell the company about our marriage until the end of the year.
By then, my stomach will get bigger and we will have to tell people.
Let's keep it a secret until then.
Rumors say there will be huge restructuring soon
from entry-level positions and up.
I will be hammered as a pregnant woman.
Plus, my performance ratings are poor. I feel nervous.
That's fine. Let's do that.
You won't be able to send invitations to colleagues.
- Is that alright? - That's what I want.
I don't like loud weddings that are over the top.
Invitations just feel like bills that you have to pay.
25 family members each. Let's keep it to 50 guests.
Okay. Housework will be divided equally.
Including cooking and decorating the home...
Don't expect me to be good at housework.
You can't cook at all?
I can cook instant noodles.
What will I get out of marriage then?
Do you want to get married so can you get fed?
You will gain a wife, not a mom.
Just before you were labeled as an irresponsible, indecent man.
- I saved you. - You've changed already.
Let's keep going. Any other conditions?
Let's keep parental interference to a minimum.
Deal. We must respect each other.
Watch what you say and try not to be selfish.
Deal. Don't talk down to me in private.
Don't overreact and curse me.
I will not allow savage behavior like at the crab restaurant.
If you don't create such a situation, I won't act like that.
This is in private too.
Alright, Mr. Hwang Taebeom.
This isn't a condition. It's a question.
If this ever happens...
While we're married, if I meet the love of my life, can I see her?
You said you would be true to our marriage.
That's why I said it's a question.
Just don't get caught. If you do, you're dead.
Let's go.
Get in the other side. I'll drive.
Who is it?
Are you the owner of Ojakgyo Farm?
I am. Who are you?
Are you Hwang Taebeom's mother then?
Have you forgotten your manners?
If you intrude on someone else's property, introduce yourself first.
Don't ask who I am.
Who are you?
I am Cha Suyeong's mother.
Cha Suyeong? Who is that?
Who is it?
Who's Cha Suyeong? She says she's her mother.
Suyeong?
Goodness. Are you Suyeong's mother?
Hello, I am Hwang Taebeom's father.
- Hello. - Who is Cha Suyeong?
- You're here. - What's going on?
This is Suyeong's mother.
You're Suyeong's mother?
I was wondering whether I should pay you a visit. Nice to meet you.
My hands aren't dirty. I'm just so happy to meet you...
I'm really sensitive. I'm not used to such skinship.
What is skinship?
Who is Cha Suyeong?
Taebeom...
The unmarried girl that has a baby?
It's hot jujube tea. Please have some.
- You too, mother. - Yes.
- You too, honey. Here. - Thanks.
Please drink it.
I'm sorry to have come here without calling you.
Whatever the reason, I have intruded your home.
- As long as you know it. - It's alright.
You must've been so worried to come rushing over like this.
Yes, we totally understand.
Don't worry. The kids are taking...
Worried? I didn't come here because I am worried.
How did you educate your son?
How could your son act so irresponsibly?
I was curious about that. You know, don't you?
Your son's attitude towards the child is inhumane.
He refused to marry my daughter.
If he feels this way, then I wonder how you feel about it.
I was curious about where you stand on this situation.
Things have changed so much.
How can she be so confident when her single daughter is pregnant?
Mother...
You're right. We will apologize.
I'm sorry. We did not educate our son well.
I'm relieved that you know that.
Of course. Taebeom and your daughter...
Because you know, I will tell you that my daughter...
There is no way that she can be treated in this manner.
She has never lost 1st place during her school years.
She is pretty and of good character. There's nothing to criticize.
She is without doubt, the perfect bride.
She was promoted to team leader at IBC, faster than anyone else.
She is in line to become the next news anchor.
She has a wonderful future guaranteed for her.
Our son is just as good as she is.
- Honey. - Listen to her.
She speaks as though Taebeom is not worthy.
That's how it sounds to me too.
It's uncomfortable and pointless to discuss who is at fault.
It's already happened. As parents, we should comfort our children.
We should lead them on a favorable path.
Why weigh them up and talk about my son poorly?
Talking about how good your daughter is won't solve anything.
It will just create bad feelings.
- Don't you agree? - I'm not sure.
I don't know what you mean by leading them on a favorable path.
Don't you know? They have a child, they should get married.
I know. She's a fool.
Excuse me? What did you just say?
No, don't worry about her.
My mother likes to speak to herself.
The kids are on their way here.
The kids?
Your daughter and Taebeom are coming here.
Are her ears blocked?
I can understand even at my age. Why don't you listen properly?
Suyeong is coming here?
Here they are.
You're here.
Grandma, dad, mom. This is Team Leader Cha.
Hello, grandmother.
Hello, father. Mother...
My name is Cha Suyeong.
Mother? Father?
Yes, doesn't look like you take after your mother much.
- Excuse me? - It's great to meet you.
- Your mother is here. - Excuse me?
- Mom! - What are you doing here?
What are you doing here? How did you know he lived here?
I wasn't able to say hello properly at the office.
I will introduce myself now.
It's good to meet you. My name is Hwang Taebeom.
Excuse me.
I'm here to meet Hwang Taebeom.
He went home early today.
I see.
What brings you here? Who should I say came?
It's alright. Thank you.
Mom...
The reason why I called you here today...
Whatever the reason, you have a child. I wanted to hear your thoughts.
I would like both of you to act responsibly.
Suyeong, right? What do you think?
Yes, father.
I would like to marry Taebeom. He feels the same way too.
Yes, that's right. We agreed to get married.
- You did? - Yes.
We decided on the way here. We're going to get married.
Of course you should.
Of course. I told you.
I asked you to trust Taebeom.
They made the right choice.
Who gave you permission to get married?
Cha Suyeong! Is this how I taught you?
You don't even ask for your parent's opinions.
Did I teach you to decide for your own life?
- Mom... - Why visit his house first?
Did you ever bring Taebeom to our house?
At least I saw his face.
Your father doesn't even know what he looks like.
And you dash over here first?
"Father, mother. We are going to get married?"
Mom...
And Taebeom. Even though you knew Suyeong was pregnant,
I heard you refused to marry her.
How could you change your mind so easily in just a few days?
- Are you usually so frivolous? - Mom!
- I'm sorry. - Of course you are!
You should be so sorry that you can't even face me!
Excuse me, in-law...
Why am I your in-law? It offends my ears to be called that.
Anyway, you have hurt my daughter and shamed her.
I can't allow this marriage or forgive you easily for that.
I will go today.
You've misunderstood. They didn't come here officially today.
Cha Suyeong, what are you doing? Get up!
I'm sorry to have intruded.
Mom...
I'm sorry. I have to go.
Mom!
- Mom. - Open the door!
Please be careful driving, Mrs. Cha.
Taebeom will visit you soon.
Please go inside, father. We will go now.
Yes, drive carefully.
I'm sorry, dad.
I don't believe this.
My son didn't commit a crime.
How dare she look at him as though she could eat him up?
What's up with her?
Put this on.
So that's how you work at night.
Wow, it's so bright. This is fascinating.
Mister! You're home late again.
Yes. Hang on. I'll give you your pen.
I left it at the office. I'll give it to you next time.
Alright.
What's that?
This? Red bean cakes. Grandma likes them.
- What are you doing? - I'm just making sure.
I wondered whether you had bought my iced caramel macchiato.
Dream on, right? I know.
I'm the one at fault for expecting it. You're just heartless.
I'm really tired. I'm going inside to sleep.
- See you later. Bye. - Wait.
- Do you want one of these? - Forget it. It's for your grandma.
You were going to give me my pen back.
You borrowed my pen for free and came back with nothing for me?
You really are heartless.
Wait, next time...
Hana, can you bring me some toilet paper?
The 2nd prettiest girl in the world! Hana, give me some toilet paper.
I can't live a day in peace.
If you bring me paper, you'll be the prettiest girl in the world!
The 2nd prettiest girl in the world, Hana!
My legs are going numb again. Hana, help me!
Not again. Listen to her.
- Does she do that often? - Sometimes. It's funny.
The way she calls Hana is different every time.
She's a funny girl.
It's quiet. Hana must have taken it to her at last.
Let's eat.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you!
Taebeom, what happened?
I heard from mom. You're getting married?
Really? You made up your mind?
- Yes, I decided to marry. - Good. You made the right choice.
Mom, dad, congratulations. Your first daughter-in-law!
Mom, you don't look happy.
You don't look pleased or delighted to have a daughter-in-law.
I feel terrible after seeing his future mother-in-law.
Suyeong's mother? Why?
She's really something.
Her self-introduction was as shocking as Jaeun's.
How bad was it for mom and grandma to shake their heads like that?
Taebeom, don't forget to visit Suyeong's home today.
We're both busy today. I'm going to visit tomorrow.
Introduce yourself officially and tell them you're sorry.
What did he do wrong?
He was shocked and needed some time to think.
- What's wrong with that? - Yes. You think so too, right?
Of course. When a person goes through shock...
They can't think straight.
Your mind goes blank. You don't want to admit it and get mad.
After time passes, you come to your senses.
You can make a proper judgment then.
Mom, you should've been a psychologist.
That's the process of reaction to and absorption of shock.
That's just what we think.
It's their daughter. They can't feel the same way we do.
I know that.
We're going to be her in-laws. That's a difficult relationship.
Mother was here too. How dare she glare at Taebeom?
She kept cutting you off while you were talking.
- How dare she shout like that? - I know.
This is what I realized when you got married.
- I'm cursed when it comes to in-laws. - Goodness, mother.
Don't mention something that happened 40 years ago.
You can feel it too when you marry your son off this time.
You'll understand how I felt 40 years ago.
- Mom... - Come on, grandma.
What I'm trying to say is...
Taebeom's future doesn't look so bright to me.
Mother...
I brought some corn. Eat it when you rest.
Corn?
Wow! It's corn! I was so hungry.
It's good. It's so tasty.
- Aren't you having any? - You eat.
I'm too upset. I don't feel like eating anything.
I'm worried too.
I'll eat it later when I rest.
We've done quite a lot though, haven't we?
Taesik, it's me.
Yeongja, what are you doing here all of a sudden?
I walked from the station. I'm so beat.
- Do you have anything to drink? - Oh, yes...
What brings you here? You didn't even call.
I met a client nearby.
Let's go out and eat.
I called Misuk too. Aren't you pleased?
Oh... Yes.
Do you have another?
- Great to meet you, friends. - Great to meet you, friend.
We used to drink yakult together. Now we drink alcohol.
- Time goes so fast. - We'll be 40 soon.
I know. We won't even have the strength to hold spoons soon.
That's why you have to start preparing for old age.
There's a great product out. I thought of you guys first.
That's what friends are for. Passing on good information, helping out.
Okay. Just have a drink.
Shall I?
- An annuity insurance. - Yeongja.
- Let me pour you a glass too. - Okay, okay.
This is great.
Taesik, why are you still single?
Aren't you seeing anyone?
- I am. - You are?
- You'll get married soon then. - Yes, I should.
Yejin!
I was just thinking of you.
Yes.
Hey! Yeongja!
My parents are really curious about you.
I boasted about you to them.
Yes.
Yes, Yejin.
Yes, I'm outside right now.
I'll call you at home. Bye.
- Misuk, I love you. - Yes, alright.
I'll support her.
Misuk, get a taxi. Yeongja, get a grip. Yeongja!
Taesik, I'm okay. I'm fine.
Sangsu Mirae Apartments. Lot 1, suite 102. An Yeongja.
- Yeongja, get in! Hurry! - Where?
- Get in the taxi. - Where?
Taesik.
- Okay, be careful going home. - Yes, okay.
- Misuk, here. - What's this?
It's the anniversary of your sister's passing tomorrow.
I bought some jerky. She used to like that.
Thanks. Hurry and go.
See you later!
- Please drive carefully. - Bye!
Did you have an older sister?
Yes.
Did she pass away?
Yes.
I told you we met when we were 20 years old.
You took me to the hospital.
Hospital?
Was your sister ill?
She was frail. She spent more time in the hospital than at home.
I spent my youth nursing her there.
I see. It must've been tough.
It was. I had to eat hospital food every day.
I was so sick of seeing ill people all the time.
I hated my sister and I cursed her to myself a lot.
I'm grateful that Yeongja remembered.
She used to ask people to buy jerky when they came to see her.
She was too ill to chew anyway.
Do you know why she did that?
- Why? - When I was angry and hated her.
I would chew on jerky and dried cuttlefish.
She did that for me.
She didn't even know it was because I hated her.
She doesn't even appear in my dreams.
Sometimes my deceased parents appear in my dreams.
But never my sister.
I wish she would appear. There's so much I want to say.
What do you want to say?
That I miss her.
If I could see her...
I... I wouldn't mind being in hospital all my life.
I guess I'm drunk too.
I'm going to sleep. Wake me when we get there.
Okay.
Want to rest on my shoulder?
- What? - We're friends. It's okay.
Come on.
Thanks, friend.
- Misuk. - Yes?
But you have Hana.
Yes, I'm grateful for Hana.
- What's wrong? - I stepped on a worm.
What? Worms are a bad sign.
- Why? - It means it will rain.
It can't rain. It will wash away all the chemicals away.
That's true. What do we do?
I don't believe this.
Let's wrap up here.
Look at the rain.
Wait a minute. Is she sleeping in the rain?
The tent isn't strong enough to withstand this heavy rain.
No, I shouldn't worry.
Why should I?
Don't worry. Don't.
Are you asleep? Baek Jaeun, are you sleeping?
Are you asleep? Baek Jaeun!
- Taehui! - Mom.
What are you doing out here?
I was coming home. It's raining a lot. I was worried.
Did you come out because you're worried too?
No, I just came out because it's pouring.
Did you try to wake her?
Yes, but there's no reaction.
Are you asleep? Hello?
I called her several times, but she didn't answer me.
Hold this for me.
Are you asleep? Are you sleeping?
Jaeun! She wouldn't know if someone carried her out.
Jaeun. What's wrong with her?
Goodness. She's on fire!
Taehui, she's got a fever. She can't even wake up.
Carry her inside.
Take her inside. Hurry.
- Mom, come out. - Yes.
Give it to me.
Her clothes are all wet.
We should change her first.
You're all wet too. Get changed and wash up.
Wait a minute. Her clothes...
- Mom, call me if you need me. - Yes.
Where am I?
Where do you think? The attic.
It's pouring outside.
Did you bring me inside?
Your body's on fire after doing a little farm work.
You can't work on the farm if you're that weak.
Just go to bed.
It's because I have my period.
I always get a fever and feel sick when I have it.
My stomach hurts too.
- Does your stomach hurt? - Yes.
I'm going back to sleep.
I have no energy.
How much does it hurt?
Your stomach's like ice.
Mrs. Hwang...
Don't open your eyes. Just sleep.
I'll massage it for you. Go to bed.
Mrs. Hwang...
Your hands are so warm.
Like mom's hands.
What do you think? I think it will suit Yejin.
It looks cheap. There's something I have to tell you.
I like you.
I wish I knew what she uses as feed.
If I could just smell it.
- No, please don't! - What if you get caught?
All she can do is hit me.
I want to ask a favor. Can you change into this?
Take this wine as a gift.
My mom likes this fragrance.
What is going on here?
Are you ridiculing me?
- It's good to meet you. - Get down on your knees.
