Mrs. Hwang...
Your hands are so warm.
Like mom's hands.
You're talking nonsense because you have a fever.
Why am I your mom?
Neither of us can stand the sight of each other.
You didn't use magic, did you?
My stomach doesn't hurt at all anymore.
I guess this is why they say mom's hands are medicinal hands.
Stop being ridiculous.
I'm not your mom.
If you keep saying that, I won't rub it. Go to sleep.
I won't say it anymore.
I've never had anyone do this.
No one has rubbed my belly when I have my periods.
It hurts every time, but I didn't have anyone I could tell.
Dad's a man too.
Thank you. It feels better now.
I feel much better.
Close your eyes and sleep. That's the best cure.
I'll keep rubbing it for you. Close your eyes and sleep.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mrs. Hwang.
What happened? Is she ill?
It's not like you to wake up at night.
She has a fever and a tummy ache.
I woke up because of the rain. I went out to see
and found her like this.
Goodness. She must be ill from all the hard work.
Is she okay? We don't need to take her to see a doctor?
I don't think that's necessary.
Her stomach's warm now and she looks more relaxed.
I think her fever's gone down too.
It seems like you and Jaeun have gotten closer now.
Don't jump to conclusions. This is why I was reluctant to bring her inside.
You're rubbing her tummy. You look like mother and child.
Say what you want. I'm not giving back the farm.
Is it because I've only raised sons?
It's strange seeing her like this.
She's 24 years old.
She's just a little baby.
Look at her skin and the way that she sleeps.
Her lips look just like a baby's.
Is it because she's a girl?
I guess so.
I found it strange too, so I kept looking at her.
She has such long eyelashes. Just like a doll.
She has such fair skin. I guess daughters are like that.
- Why are you looking at me like that? - I was just thinking.
You must've been like this when we got married.
You were so fair back then. Just like Jaeun.
I walked into the bakery and thought an angel had come down from heaven.
I mean it.
I remember your handkerchief and your pretty watch.
I'm rotten. I was so afraid of your parents.
I couldn't even eat the side dishes. I just ate plain rice.
I took you when you were so young.
Now I've turned you into this heartless old woman.
- You know it? - Yes, I know.
That's why I can't ask you to let Jaeun stay inside the house.
If I knew you'd go through all this, I wouldn't have married you.
- Honey... - Her stomachs all warm now.
Let's go to bed now. It's really late.
It wasn't a dream!
I really am in the attic.
These soft blankets...
This pleasant, humane environment...
It's been so long.
What is this?
I checked up on you. You really did quit work.
So what are your plans?
You got out of military service ages ago.
When are you going to wake up and lead a proper life?
I'm glad you said that.
I'm going to live a proper life from now on... Bro.
Lend me some money.
Think of it as an investment. Just $30,000.
What?
Hey! You...
What are you doing? Get out!
I'm sorry.
What's with you? Why don't you even knock?
I'm sorry. It wasn't locked so I thought it was vacant.
- I'm sorry. - Why are you inside the house?
Something happened. I'm sorry.
Just carry on with what you were doing.
Did you sleep well, Mrs. Hwang?
I'm all better now.
My stomach doesn't hurt and I don't have a fever.
Thank you. This is all thanks to you.
What's that?
Did you make abalone porridge?
Did you make it for me?
You were ill last night, so I'm making you breakfast.
After this, go back to your tent.
What are you doing? Are you thinking of staying in here?
No. I was thinking of going back outside too.
- But I'll do the dishes for you. - No, don't do that.
I want to do it.
You hardly slept a wink because of me.
I don't need your help.
I told you many times. Not seeing you...
That's how you can help me. That makes me happy.
So if you want to help me, take your tent and leave.
Okay. Then come out later after you do the dishes.
I'll go ahead and spray the pear trees first.
This is a dishcloth, right?
You need to wipe the table for breakfast.
- Let me do it. - It's okay. Don't.
Oh, my goodness!
- The table's full today, mom. - It is.
Only for today. Eat, mother. It's getting cold.
- Okay, let's eat. - Thank you for breakfast.
I'm happy.
- Are you feeling better now? - Yes, we heard you were sick.
Yes, just a little last night.
I'm fine now. I'm perfectly normal.
You have a good physique, so you recover quickly too.
So stop wearing such skimpy clothes.
Of course you'd get sick and come down with the flu.
I don't wear skimpy clothes these days, grandma.
What time are you going to Suyeong's house?
I don't know yet. She'll call me.
Dress clean and don't go empty-handed.
Buy a basket of fruit.
Yes, don't worry.
What's her family like?
Judging from her mother, they seem quite well-off.
I think so. I heard that they're quite rich.
What does her father do?
He was the dean of social sciences at Jungwon University.
He retired 2 years ago.
And he was a member of the Cabinet a long time ago.
I think he was the minister of transportation.
Minister?
Really?
What about her mother then?
I can't remember... I think she teaches at a university.
She's a professor then?
Why is she so ill-mannered?
Someone of her status as a professor
should have more sense and refinement.
In-laws are not to be taken lightly.
How could she act so impolite whilst facing us?
Anyway, she's from quite a good family.
You're going to be in-laws with a great family, Changsik.
- It seems that way. - Mother.
A university professor isn't anything that special.
There are so many professors these days.
He wasn't just a professor. He was a minister as well!
Eat your porridge. Mother, it's getting cold.
Mom.
Let's have breakfast. Yeoul and I made breakfast.
You didn't eat a thing yesterday.
If you've lost your appetite, I can make some porridge.
- It's okay. - Mom!
Taebeom is going to come over officially today.
I had too much work yesterday, so he couldn't come.
When should he come? Lunch? Dinner?
He will make an official visit today and apologize.
He said he will ask for your permission to wed.
Mom, can't you stop being angry?
We're getting married.
The baby is going to be born into a stable family.
You don't need to worry now.
Are you obsessed with getting married?
Is that the only thing that's important in your life?
- Are you a marriage addict? - Then should I not get married?
I don't know why you are being like this.
You got angry because I wasn't getting married.
Now you're mad that I am.
You got mad that I went to Taebeom's house first.
He's coming to our house now, but you're mad about that too.
I heard he went on a blind date even when he knew you were pregnant!
And you went there and begged him to marry you.
- Auntie! - Yeogyeong!
What's this?
You said he didn't know that you were pregnant.
Don't you have any self-respect or worth?
Do you really have to marry him like this?
Do you think I raised you with all my heart just to see you like this?
What are you saying? He knew you were pregnant and still did that?
No, dad. It's not like that.
He was really shocked.
He was shocked that I was pregnant.
I kept threatening him and forcing him to marry me.
All these things felt like a tsunami to him.
Of course he was shocked.
You know his feelings so well!
Why is it that you have no idea about our feelings?
How can you step all over our hearts, you rotten girl?
I didn't raise you to give you away to a hopeless fool like him.
His qualifications, his family... There's not a thing I like about him
and he just makes my blood boil!
Why do you have to beg him to marry you?
I didn't raise you like this, you ungrateful, rotten girl!
I was so proud of you. I thought you were the best.
I would've switched my life for yours.
You were so precious to me! The most precious in the world!
He gets my precious daughter pregnant.
Then what does he say?
He wouldn't marry you even if his life depended on it?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I've upset you and disappointed you.
I really am sorry.
But I wasn't forced into this situation.
Two adults did something that they have to take responsibility for.
He doesn't deserve to be criticized and put to shame alone.
And he's not that stupid or worthless.
If anything, he's better than I am.
Yes, let's meet him first.
Let's listen to him before we make our decision.
I'm not keen about him entering my house either.
But let's meet him first. Then we'll decide.
I agree, Yeogyeong.
I felt terrible when Suyeong said she would have the baby alone.
It's a relief that they are going to get married.
Meet him first, okay?
Suyeong, bring him over tonight.
- By 6 o'clock. - Okay.
Okay, fine. Bring him here.
Let's see if he's worthless or as worthy as you claim.
If he still doesn't match my standards,
I'd rather that you have the baby alone than
allow this marriage. Do you understand me?
Yes.
A nap? How can you take a nap on a day like this?
Get up.
I'll be at your house in 2 hours.
Get up, shower and shave.
- Get ready to come to my house. - Don't come.
I'll get ready and be over by 5:30. Stay home.
We don't have time. Get up and get ready.
Hello?
What's with her?
Taesik, you're not going to sing that to Yejin, are you?
- Why? You don't like it? - You're really going to do that?
- Are you going to propose? - Yes.
I'm going to prepare a heart-shaped cake and sing this to her.
- She'll be so moved. - I doubt it.
How can she be moved without the main dish?
The main what?
Cakes and songs are just appetizers.
Women wait for the main dish. You need the jewel.
Not a ring with a huge stone. Something elegant.
Something she can boast about, saying her boyfriend gave it to her.
A necklace would be nice.
Spend some money. You can't win her over without money.
Really? Let's see...
But I've already reached my limit this month.
How much have you saved up?
Not much.
I just paid off my debts from the Philippines last year.
That's right. You don't have money to invest then, do you?
Want to rest on my shoulder?
Come on.
Hey, Taesik!
Hi, Misuk. Did you sleep well?
- You don't have a hangover? - No, I'm okay.
- Are you going to work? - No, it's my day off.
Hey... Are you free today?
Free?
The truth is... I want to propose to Yejin today.
I need to buy a necklace but... I've never bought one before.
If you're free, can you help me pick one out?
This one is the most popular among women in their 20s.
It's pretty.
Misuk, what do you think? I think it will suit Yejin.
- It looks cheap. - How about this?
- The gem's too big. - This one?
It's tacky. I wouldn't wear it even if you gave it to me.
Really? I don't want to pick a tacky one for my dear Yejin.
What would she like?
She's intelligent and feminine.
- How about this one? - This one's really nice.
What do you think?
It's pretty.
Is it? Okay! I'll take this one.
Misuk!
Kim Misuk!
What's with her?
Hwang Taesik!
- Taesik! - Kim Misuk! What's with you?
I...
I need to talk to you.
There's something I have to tell you.
What do you want to tell me?
Kim Misuk!
I like you.
I said I like you.
- Kim Misuk... - I know.
You only think of me as a friend and you like Yejin.
But I had to tell you this.
It felt like I'd never be able to if I didn't tell you today.
It's been a long time since I've liked someone.
We don't know much about each other.
If we get to know each other a little better...
You may end up liking me too.
So can't you propose to her later?
After a little while.
Give me a chance.
Taesik, please?
Misuk, I think I've done you wrong.
- What? - When you asked me to the concert...
I didn't think it was because you liked me. I thought you were lonely.
That's why I told you about Yejin.
I thought after I told you, we could just be friends.
If my actions confused you, then I'll apologize.
I'm sorry.
Misuk, I really like Yejin.
It's not because I'm old and she's a suitable match.
It's not just to get married. I really like her.
I think we were made for each other.
And she's the first true blessing of my life.
I haven't been blessed much in life.
As dad says, whatever I do turns out for the worst.
At 20, I wanted to sing. At 30, I wanted to be a good first son.
At 33, I wanted to own a house. I didn't achieve any of that.
After 33, I stopped dreaming altogether.
I have no expectations of myself. Do you know how that feels?
I've been on a lot of blind dates, but I never expected much.
I didn't want to get my hopes up and be disappointed.
Because nothing works out for me.
Then I met Yejin.
My heart fluttered on first sight. I grew to like her more every day.
If I think of her, I'm so happy.
I get nervous that it's all a dream, or that my blessing will disappear.
Misuk, I even abide by all the traffic laws now.
I do my best to be friendly and live a good life.
The reason why I am telling you all this...
I think I need to make my stance clear.
I want to marry Yejin.
I'm thinking of proposing to her today.
I'm sorry that I can't like you back.
I'll leave first.
- Taesik... - Do you like it?
I thought of you and picked it out.
Yes, it's so pretty.
Yejin...
When I see you smile, I feel so happy.
From the first moment I laid my eyes on you.
When you smile, I smile.
When you're sad, I feel sad too.
So I want to make you smile all the time.
I know I'm lacking, but I want to do my best to make you happy.
That's my happiness.
Taesik...
Will you put the necklace on for me?
Excuse me? Oh... Yes.
Thank you, Taesik.
I will treasure it.
I'll take this one.
Can you show me that one?
I told you I'd go over. Why did you come here?
- Are you done getting ready? - Yes.
I bought a fruit basket too.
I have a favor to ask. Please do it for me.
- What is it? - Can you change into this first?
Take this wine, not the fruit basket as a gift.
And...
My mom likes this fragrance. Can you spray this for me too?
What is going on here?
As you saw, my mom's really sensitive and picky.
She's very exact about what she likes and dislikes.
She thinks her taste and judgments are correct.
You're going to meet my parents today.
Just for today, please try to cater to my mom's taste. Please.
This will fit you. I'm good at guessing sizes.
Why are you looking at that?
It's not as expensive as I thought.
If she's that fussy and has such high taste...
Shouldn't you have spent at least $10,000?
- Are you mocking me? - Yes.
- If you're angry... - Yes. I'm really offended.
I was going to get scolded if I needed to.
I was going to apologize.
I didn't know my fashion sense and gift would be that important.
I know that we have been brought up differently.
I may not live up to your parents' expectations.
But to openly scorn my background, taste and fashion sense...
I didn't know everything would be treated as tasteless and cheap.
Don't exaggerate.
This is why I didn't want to get into this kind of marriage.
If I loved you to death, I would have the will to go through all this.
Why do I have to be treated like this?
Why do I have to deny my identity and be attacked?
Just to get through this process of marriage.
Must you talk like that?
Yes, I must.
Your actions have totally shamed me.
Do you know how sorry you've made me feel towards my parents?
It's not because I'm good or I'm right.
But I am my parents' son.
For that sole reason, I am precious to my parents.
Just as you are precious to your parents.
I am precious to them.
You don't have to talk this way or show me all this.
I expected that you would come from a better family background.
My parents had a hard life.
But they did their best to raise me. I am grateful and proud of them.
Because of my background...
I don't want to hide or feel ashamed about my tastes.
But what you're asking is for me to deny all of that.
I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it that way.
I just... Mom is so angry today.
I wanted her to like you and get past today's meeting.
I'm sorry. I was inconsiderate.
Let's just go then. Take this fruit basket.
Hwang Taebeom, let's do that.
Wait here. I need to go out and gather my thoughts.
We don't have time.
Don't you know that you shouldn't provoke a man's pride?
You provoked me. I can't go as though nothing happened.
It's raining so much this year.
We didn't even manage a third of last year's harvest.
The rain killed so many peppers. I'm so upset.
I told you we should give up growing peppers.
You should just take care of the orchard, not grow peppers.
Same with the ducks.
What's the point in raising them and spending so much on feed?
You can't even sell them.
You never finish things properly.
I'll ask Misuk about the ducks again.
I have to make sure to sell them this month.
Don't worry, mother. I can do it.
Don't smile at me that way.
I've heard that for 40 years. I feel sick when you say that now.
When you married, "Don't worry, mother. I'll do a good job."
You didn't have anything to offer. All you came with was your spoon.
You haven't done anything right or outstanding in the last 40 years.
But I did a good job of giving birth to our handsome boys.
How is that because of you? It's because of Changsik's seeds...
Anyway, seeing Taebeom's future wife brings back those feelings.
So many girls chased after Changsik back then.
They were just as smart as Taebeom's future wife and rich too.
Who could be more cursed when it comes to in-laws than me?
I couldn't believe it.
How could you get married with nothing but your own spoon?
Grandma, stop going on about that spoon.
What?
There aren't many daughters-in-law like Mrs. Hwang these days.
She cleans this huge house all by herself.
Three sons, you, Mr. Hwang... She cooks every day for 6 people.
She works on the farm and the pen too.
She practically works herself to death every day.
You don't even help her.
How dare you?
From what I see, you're not cursed when it comes to daughters-in-law.
Rather, Mrs. Hwang is cursed when it comes to mothers-in-law.
What are you doing? Don't be rude to your elders!
You should say what's on your mind.
That way, grandma will realize and won't be so mean to you.
Grandma has no idea about the real world.
These days, mothers-in-law are wary around their daughters-in-law.
Haven't you heard that mothers-in-law serve their sons' wives?
- Be quiet, you fool! - Grandma!
Mother...
- Mother! - Grandma!
- Mother, stop it. - Are you taking her side?
I'm not taking Jaeun's side.
You dropped all the peppers on the ground.
- Grandma's so mean. - What are you doing?
Don't do that in front of elders.
Don't act rude in front of grandma ever again!
I didn't mean to but... Okay.
Mrs. Hwang, why weren't you able to sell the ducks?
- No duck restaurants want them. - Why not?
The restaurant I sold them to closed. Now, we have no market.
Jongmi's family has found three new restaurants to sell her ducks to.
What does she put in her feed?
Feed? Isn't duck feed all the same?
No, the basic ingredients may be similar,
but every pen uses different blends and additional ingredients.
I wish I knew the secret behind her feed.
Should I go and smell it?
I can probably guess if I smell it.
Mrs. Hwang! Have you found it?
Mrs. Hwang!
What is this smell?
I don't know. Goodness...
Who is it?
Hello. I'm Baek Jaeun.
The girl that ate instant noodles in the tent outside Ojakgyo Farm.
Oh... What are you doing here?
It's watery kimchi. Mrs. Hwang told me to give it to you.
She said neighbors should share good food.
For you.
What is she doing in our shed?
Don't! Don't do it!
Let go!
Hey! Get out of there!
- Stop it. - Let go.
Mrs. Hwang! Hurry! Run!
- Go easy on her. - Let go.
Let go of me.
Don't hit her! All I did was smell your duck feed.
I'm so desperate, that's why. I'm sorry.
Why smell my feed? Who gave you permission?
- Let me see. - Stop it!
- Show me your pockets. - What are you doing?
You just smelled it?
Come here!
Stop it. Sorry.
- Stop! - Go! Hurry and go!
Go, Jaeun! Hurry!
Honey!
What's going on?
How dare she? It's bruised. I'll get her!
Mrs. Hwang, hurry up.
I think they've stopped chasing us.
You're right.
I was so scared that we'd get caught.
Her husband looks so scary.
If we had gotten caught, we'd both be turned into powder.
He used to be a good fighter.
- Why are you laughing? - It's nothing.
You were so funny when you kicked her.
Don't laugh.
I said don't laugh.
What is it?
Your hair's a mess.
I told you to run. You would've had a few pellets of feed.
I shouldn't have made you do that.
We shouldn't have touched their feed...
I wouldn't let others know my secret either.
I'll go and apologize tomorrow.
Is your back okay? She beat you pretty good.
Mrs. Hwang, I'm sorry.
For accusing you of stealing my written promise.
For calling you an evil con artist.
For cursing you.
I really did suspect you.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to die when I first lost it and got thrown out.
It was so hard for me. I hated you to death.
But now I know that you would never do that.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
Mrs. Hwang, wait for me.
When did you make all this?
Wow, you're so good.
I put out new clothes for you on the bed.
Go shower and change.
Yes, okay.
Should I help? I can make dessert.
Don't you have anyone to meet?
Go and meet some friends. You haven't been back for ages.
Oh... Yes, I was going to meet a friend.
Tell Suyeong I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have arranged to meet my friend on a day like this.
I'm going then. I'll eat out.
The number you have called is currently switched off.
I was late because I bought a gift for your mother.
It's the same one.
This one's yours, so you can return it if you want to.
I'll give her the wine with my heart.
But I'm wearing my own clothes, okay?
- Taebeom. - No perfume either.
If we don't go now, we'll be late.
Oh, yeah...
We're here, Taebeom.
This is a private situation.
We're here, Mr. Hwang Taebeom.
We have 5 minutes left. Let's go.
Thank you.
Dad, this is Hwang Taebeom.
It's nice to meet you. My name is Hwang Taebeom.
- Dad? - Welcome. I'm Suyeong's father.
You don't know me, but I've seen you often on television.
I'm not pleased to meet you yet, but it's good that you came.
- This is... - I've met him before.
I will say hello again officially.
My name is Hwang Taebeom. I'm sorry I didn't come earlier.
I heard you like wine, so I prepared this for you.
You shouldn't have bothered.
It's late. Shall we eat first?
Mr. Hong!
Jaeun. How have you been?
You've gotten so thin.
No, I haven't lost weight.
I eat so much.
- Sit down. - When did you arrive?
Yesterday. I have to go back tomorrow.
There's no news about your dad yet. I'm sorry, Jaeun.
No, I'm the one who's sorry.
I couldn't even raise the $30,000.
It's okay. You don't have money.
I'm using another method to look for your dad.
I heard you don't live with your stepmother.
Where are you staying right now?
Well... My dad had a farm.
- A farm? - Yes.
My grandpa left the farm to my dad.
But he lent it to a friend for 10 years.
This is the 10th year.
You found that farm?
Okay! Since we're all here today, let's go for drinks.
We haven't done that in ages.
Is it your treat?
Okay, but keep it under $30.
Come on. It costs more than $30 to drink alone!
Alright, $50.
Lieutenant Hwang, aren't you coming? Get up.
You go ahead. I'll join you after I finish up here.
Yes, I'll take him there.
Okay. Let's go!
We'll be there soon.
It's about time...
Korea...
Baek Inho.
- Lee Gi... - Lee Gicheol!
The chief really met Baek Inho?
How could the chief...
- Hong Mansik? - Who's that?
Hong Mansik...
Baek Inho's driver.
He's been the driver for 30 years since Baek Inho's father's time.
He retired 2 years ago and went to China.
He's been helping Jinsim Foods export to China.
He must be like family if he's worked for them for 30 years.
Do you think he knows about the watch?
He's the only witness we have.
Look into Hong Mansik tomorrow.
Call the immigration office and check his records.
- Be careful. - Yes.
Do you think we're doing the right thing?
We're getting close to the truth.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Do you two have good news? - Yes, we do!
- What is it? - Seo Dongmin's getting married...
- What? - What? Dongmin?
- Really? - It's not true!
It's not true. No way.
- Taehui! - When he finds a good girl.
What's with you, Taehui?
He's so lame.
Let's just have a drink. Exclude him.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
You stay out.
Are you okay? Should I go with you?
It's okay.
Taxi!
This way, Taehui. Wait a minute, please.
I'm going, Seo Dongmin.
Goodness. You're so drunk.
Thank you.
Oh, my goodness!
Mister...
Don't you like steak?
I enjoy it from time to time.
You don't seem like you're enjoying it right now.
I feel quite nervous...
Of course you should. Think of what you did.
Yes, I know that.
Do you mean that you know what you did wrong?
- Mom. - Cha Suyeong.
- Yes, I know. - What did you do wrong?
I couldn't decide easily on marriage and that hurt Suyeong.
Suyeong? I heard that she is your team leader.
I'm not marrying the team leader, Cha Suyeong.
We'll respect each other and we agreed to speak politely.
That's a good idea. Suyeong, speak politely to him.
Couples respecting each other...
Honey, we haven't permitted their marriage yet.
I know. I'm just telling them the general practice.
I see. You know that you put Suyeong through a lot of pain.
You know what you did was wrong. That is assuring.
But that doesn't mean I can forgive you.
I heard you even went on a blind date to get rid of Suyeong.
In any case, have you decided to marry Suyeong now?
Yes, that's right.
Then get down on your knees.
Get down on your knees and beg Suyeong for her forgiveness!
- Mom! - Honey!
If a person has done something wrong, they should beg for forgiveness.
Get down and beg her!
Until then, I can't allow this marriage.
Get down on your knees. Can't you do it?
