[Episode 50]
And after your mother passed?
They worked at the same hospital.
She was a nurse.
They worked together when your mother was alive?
Mm.
Did she linger?
A little, I think.
Try to remember.
I don't remember much.
Heart failure.
I can't help but think they developed feelings when your mother was alive.
It's possible.
My friends moms say a woman can tell when a man's eye wanders.
Your mother must have known?
How terrible that must have been for her.
He remarried when you were seven.
Uh-huh.
Only a year...
They fell in love right after...?
It doesn't feel right.
Let's do this again.
Whenever we can.
No stalling.
I wouldn't dare.
Goodnight, gentlemen.
Night.
We should go to a fortuneteller.
Don't you think?
Nah.
What if she wants my particulars?
Tell her.
If I do she may pull what she did on the other girl.
What matters is my heart.
Our hearts.
My parents are dead.
I'm no catch.
Marriage is for life.
Our lives.
We meet, we talk, who cares about the rest?
It's our story.
We don't need backseat drivers.
Parents worry what kind of wife you'll be.
You're candid, decent, smart.
And one other thing.
Wise.
So true. Wise. Very much so.
Don't overdo it.
We can be happy. With each other.
As my slave boy?
As my goddess.
Do we need to live with your parents?
Nope.
Let's live with them.
We get what we put into it.
I'm believe that.
Shall we go tonight?
You kidding?
I mean it. We need to do it sometime.
Easy.
I'll look like a fool if you back out later.
Hold on lady. Yaya.
I swear on my mother's name.
Never ever.
What was her name?
Hwang. First name Yeeun.
Lovely.
You have a photo?
Of course.
Show me sometime.
Uh-huh.
Aren't you curious about me?
I asked if you had a dream and you said you'll tell me later.
It's changed.
I'll tell you when I'm sure.
Giving up on love... or letting go of hate?
Which is harder?
Giving up on love.
Why?
I think letting go of hate is harder.
You hate someone?
So don't make me hate you.
Oh so scary. I'm all yours.
I'll hold onto you forever.
You're sure?
Does the idea scare you?
Only in private, not to worry.
It's cold. Stay here.
Call anytime.
I always pick up for you.
Don't, not when you're sleeping.
I'm going to.
Just kidding but you never know.
Like when you are out late.
No drivers. Call me, late at night, dawn, whenever.
That's nice to hear.
I'm a nice guy.
Night.
Be safe.
He's much nicer than I expected.
I'm sorry... I am...
I'll do better, I swear it.
You're waiting in this cold?
They're full up.
Oh?
Look there.
Fancy a cocktail?
Of course.
It's been forever.
You don't drink with your friends?
I'm not much of a drinker.
Whiskey.
Mojito.
Their father didn't drink?
A man from our generation?
Times have changed.
No one forces you to drink these days.
So much the better.
So which is it? Jia?
Ah, the daughter of the Migang Group wants our son, but no.
Why not?
He doesn't like her, he says.
Despite her being perfect.
Has he no ambition?
People would kill for that wealth.
No kidding.
He takes after you.
You believe in true love.
You were so in love with Jia's mother.
Will he be stubborn about it?
Who knows? I'll talk to him.
Parents never win that way.
Have yours given you any trouble?
Not yet.
I just hope he marries in his forties.
Shall we get drunk?
Ever think of your spouse?
Of course.
And you? Never?
Sometimes.
Are you happier now?
Mm.
Were you her first?
It's not easy rearing someone else's children.
My youngest is a hand full and she's my blood.
No?
There was her first love, right after school.
Oh?
They had a baby. It died after childbirth.
No. They weren't married?
Her parents wouldn't have it.
Why not?
She was poor. He died in an accident.
She had it rough.
That's life for you.
We all have our share.
Childhood, adulthood, old age, it's never easy.
Like me now.
True. We have that in common.
In common?
You remarried and are deliriously happy.
Were you at the house all this time?
No, the movies.
Mom?
Not here. I just got in.
Chicken.
Mine.
You have more.
Nope.
You're such a glutton.
You're not?
Your own sister?
Get a cup.
No?
No.
Bring the boy here.
To his mother.
A boy needs his mother. Not strangers.
Are you serious?
Uh-huh. Would you like it?
If he was yours and Yaya pulled that?
Is she ready?
She is now. She's working too.
What about Mom?
It was hard enough moving her in.
What about the turpentine?
He'll have a room.
We can air it out.
Don't worry about Hyogyong.
She'll get the wrong idea.
What idea?
You need to ask?
You saw her crying.
Just talking about her son.
Look at it from her perspective.
Women today send their kids to the playground, to daycare, whatever.
Junso is in the lap of luxury now.
But no mother.
A dozen people can't make up for one mother.
See what Mom says.
Mom's sick.
Thanks to you. She couldn't eat a bite.
You're not feeling well?
It's my head.
Shouldn't you get an MRI?
If I'm not better Monday.
Where were you?
Out carrying on all night.
What, one night?
It's strange is all.
I'm human too.
I had a date with a good-looking fella.
Good-looking old fart.
How's Junso?
Perfect. So adorable.
Who does he take after?
No idea. His face is all squished.
Yaya isn't wearing out her welcome?
Hm.
Why bother in winter? No one will see it.
I like to.
What did they have?
No idea.
You didn't eat?
They didn't invite you?
Sure they did.
Yaya was out and Mr. Jang came home.
Talk about awkward.
I saw a movie.
You've been drinking.
You can't kid me. I smell alcohol.
One cocktail.
With whom?
Janghun.
What are you up to?
He's got troubles.
The Migang Group girl wants his son.
Yeah?
But it's no go, how's that for trouble?
The daughter?
No. Nadan.
Why?
He doesn't like her.
So she's a woofer?
Gorgeous. A ballerina.
Score.
Looks and money.
And he says no?
He says she's missing something.
Like what?
Good sense.
You sure it's not reverse bragging?
Not everyone is like you.
Me?
Sly.
Always keeping your options open.
How do I do that exactly?
Well?
First? Sly.
Second? Sly.
You're nothing if not sly.
You, too?
No.
I can't help but think they developed feelings when your mother was alive.
A woman can tell when a man's eye wanders.
Your mother must have known?
How terrible that must have been for her.
Sick?
I'm not myself.
You're burning up.
Water. Warm water.
Sit.
When did it start?
I washed up then got the chills.
Milk?
You should have called. I'd have got meds or taken you to the doctor.
I'm not big on meds.
Don't be a martyr.
It is what it is.
I saw your show. They said it's best to ride it out.
Whatever it is, you need a doctor.
I need rest. It's the weekend.
I had no idea, you should have said.
And you?
Warm milk. I can't sleep.
Why not? Green Grapes?
Just because.
Don't let it get to you.
Your stomach is okay?
Mm.
This won't do.
Hang on.
What?
I need a blanket.
You're cold?
Night.
Thanks.
Of course.
That's what family is for.
Where's your phone.
There.
Call me. Any little thing.
Hm.
Like Janghun would be interested in some old fuddy-duddy?
One that's had children.
Can we make some porridge?
Yaya has a fever.
Does she?
Yes.
Porridge.
Try to force it down.
How are you?
I think the fever broke overnight.
You should have said.
The help can make ginger tea.
I didn't realize till I washed up.
Eat now.
Of course she's sick.
Her brother, moving here, moving Hyogyong.
Working as a manager.
It's not right at her age.
She didn't look good.
Does she need a doctor?
Her fever broke in the night.
Maybe some thin porridge?
Yes.
That's who the blanket was for? Yaya?
Yes.
How did you know?
Younger people get sick, we all do.
She's family now.
Exactly. We'll look after her.
I have to feed her myself.
Even since she was little.
I'm no good at it.
Afternoon sets are eaten from the bottom up.
You've met Sonji?
Yes.
She was here with Hyogyong.
She saw Junso?
Said he's adorable.
And she's so polite.
She got us both presents.
Quite well-spoken. And cute.
So young and innocent.
You don't know the real her.
How so?
It was like a page out of Joseon history.
All for show.
Real or not, it's nice to hear.
She was respectful.
True.
We can turn down the heat with these thermals.
So soft and warm.
Do our part to conserve energy.
Won't you be cold?
It's better for my aches and pains.
Very true.
If I'm cold I can walk to the living room.
Mom isn't getting up?
I'll have Nurse Kim give her a ring.
We're on our own. Fry an egg if you like.
No help today?
Day off. Some wedding or other.
She'll get better if you change your mind.
Well?
Are you so selfish?
Take care of yourself.
Text if you're hungry. I spoke to the help.
Uh-huh.
Mm.
What's up? You sound like death.
I'm sick.
Yeah?
Last night. I'm getting better.
You should be here.
It's more comfortable. You'll feel better.
Mm.
A real answer.
It's the same either way.
They look after me here.
Anyway.
Wasn't I adorable yesterday?
With the ladies of the house?
Uh-huh.
I didn't know I had it in me.
Nana was pleased.
Talk me up in the future, nice and natural.
Hm.
Did you see Nadan?
Uh-huh.
He's dating the Migang girl but he doesn't like her.
He won't marry her, can you believe?
We'll talk about it later.
Okay. Rest.
Hm.
Sorry.
I'll come straight home.
You can't just leave.
Don't. I'll be fine with a shot.
Watch the screen and laugh when you're told.
Right.
Good work.
Thanks.
Shouldn't you have some fruit?
I can't eat anything.
I couldn't swallow if I did.
I keep going over it in my head.
We don't have it so bad.
And that's all well and good.
But there are your children to think of.
You'll have it good. A royal family.
There are different dimensions to everything.
Think about it.
Do this for us and I'll never ask for anything again.
This one last thing.
I've found someone.
Who?
You know her.
Ahn Susannah?
No.
Kim Sujong?
Well?
Yaya.
