[Episode 56]
Something on your mind?
Yes.
Yaya.
You can adopt her.
Formally.
A little late.
Maybe when she was younger.
Back then she still had her father and brother.
It's a nice thought but no.
We would do something if he was the worthless type.
People can change.
Suppose that happens after the wedding?
Would you stop with that?
Don't say things so lightly.
Wish them well and be done.
You and Muom will only upset Yaya.
It's like you want her to be unhappy.
Yaya can be treated poorly.
No parents, no brother.
No one to turn to if... things go bad.
She has us doesn't she?
We're not family.
She's like family to us.
That was when she was young.
You know she won't ask for help when she needs it.
Which is her own fault.
Think only of yourself and no amount of prayer will help.
She never knew when we'd ask her to leave.
That's why she's rushing into marriage.
We help strangers.
Please do this.
It's not that simple.
You know we're no ordinary family.
She calls you ma’am and you sir.
It hurts my heart every time I hear it.
What should she call us?
Not 'Mom' surely.
How would that make her feel?
It's like she's the same as our maids or something.
If you adopt her it will stop this wedding.
She can meet someone better later.
You decide. I'm not against it.
I'll think about it.
But no.
You can if you want.
Is it the money?
You know she's not interested in inheriting.
Yaya may well refuse.
She's a proud girl.
At this point she may never call us mom and dad.
That's her problem.
This is right.
Oh, the news.
It's started.
And now the news.
Today we have a special guest.
Saudi Prince Mohammed Abdullah is with us in the studio.
Welcome, Your Highness.
Quite a scoop.
An Arab?
Yes. A prince.
He's young.
It's an honor to be here.
The honor is ours.
What's next?
The sherbet followed by the main course.
Thanks.
There's land available in Pyongchang.
We can build there.
It's close to where you're living now. You can visit all the time.
I've been thinking.
We can live with your family.
That will be awful.
But worth it in the end.
If we're to be family, we need time together.
What if you cry everyday?
Not anymore.
All we need is one of them to accept me.
I won't make you choose.
Jia can have a wicked tongue.
Try not to hate her, for me.
I don't.
I understand her, actually.
I grew fond of her as her manager.
Maybe that was just me.
Time will tell.
And we'll have it.
I've been alone. I like a big family.
Or did you want a quiet life?
No.
I like being near my dad.
I'll try, too.
Quite an exclusive.
Things have improved since Yaya and Junso came to us.
What do you think of Hwaom's idea?
It's too late.
True.
He's losing his sister.
He's sad.
It's natural that he worries.
Like they say, men love one at a time.
What do you call players then?
That's not love.
Ships that pass in the night is all.
But love is tied to the dock. Love stays.
What?
A tight feeling?
Tied up tight... to my Jongae.
Oh you.
I dealt with the Misol problem.
How?
I met with her mother and explained.
How awful.
It can't have been easy.
It had to be done.
She didn't say anything?
She did.
Why didn't you fall for her?
She's lovely, a perfect lady.
Do you mean that?
It's true.
No more than one glass of wine. Soft-spoken.
What? Say it.
It sounds bad.
Not at all.
It's not like I want to be like that.
That's not you.
Anyway.
I won't budge till you spit it out.
Oh? Then we'll go to Hongchon.
Or Busan, maybe?
Si-i-Ir.
Sill with the sir?
She's a mama's girl.
When we went out,
she must have said, 'My mother,' fifty times at least.
She's her mommy's avatar.
Eats what mom eats, does what mom says.
She's not herself.
I envy her.
Whatever for?
She has a mom.
You wouldn't like this one.
One time, she sat across the room and kept texting through dinner.
'Tie your hair. What did he say?'
Not exaggerating. Really.
She has to control that.
She grew up that way, she thinks it's natural.
You're my avatar.
No wait.
I'm yours.
You catch on quick.
Tell the truth.
What?
You practiced Rock-Scissors-Paper.
With Jia.
My dad.
Does he hate me too?
Not hate exactly. He just doesn't get me.
Shouldn't we talk to him?
We will.
I should go.
If he's going to fuss...
No, it's better if I go alone.
I hate it.
He can't be worse than your mom.
Fair enough.
Talk to him.
If we get a girl...
You want kids?
Of course.
If it's a girl I hope she's like you.
Strong and outspoken.
Boys, girls, at least three.
But you won't see a shadow of grandchildren.
Not in this life.
And?
I was scared that he might yell at me in front of her.
So I left without eating.
And then he met with Mrs. Hwang.
I couldn't believe it when she came to my office.
It was mortifying.
I've never been so insulted.
I'm a failure.
You have me.
Thirty years I've slaved for that boy.
And this is what I get.
Would he do this if he cared?
Love is blind.
After a few dates?
What have I done to be treated this way?
I'll talk to him.
This is Yaya's doing.
She's got her claws in him.
Kick him, shake him, do whatever it takes.
Or it will get worse.
When that thing moves in.
A temper, yes, but this?
In sheep's clothing.
Sheep?
A wolf.
We set a date.
For the wedding?
Yes.
When?
January 31st, Saturday.
So soon?
Haven't you been listening?
Don't interfere.
Go ahead. Whatever.
Why are you so upset?
It's on you. It's your life.
Don't worry.
They still see you as a little girl.
They remember the old days.
You're sure about this?
Mm.
Who ever is with marriage?
It's complicated.
Evening weddings are in.
Yes. 5pm.
There's a lot to do.
We'll make a list tomorrow.
There's no need.
We're moving in.
With his family?
He's their eldest after all.
You're sweet but will they have you?
After losing the Migang girl.
Not to worry.
People can sense sincerity.
Why can't you sense ours?
The sooner the better.
No need to talk it to death.
Can't you see?
They'll yell at you over very little thing.
Move in? The eldest?
Making you marry so young, is that love?
Where you're not welcome?
It was my decision.
Why?
I'm lonely.
Angry or not, I'll have a family.
I can't live here forever...
Why not?
No one told you to go.
When you two marry, your wives won't like it.
They'll hate me, a single girl living here for no reason.
Why shouldn't I marry someone I'm fond of?
People's hearts change.
I want a life, too. Why won't you let me?
You made her cry.
Marrying without feeling...
Why without? He's a good man.
Fruit is good till it...
Enough already.
I'm sorry.
Thoughtless, the pair of you.
Not another word.
You heard us.
What's that?
The sausage you like.
Who sent those?
No name.
A fan, some old lady.
Why not a young lady, how can you tell?
A young one would sign it, or initial.
Want some?
At this hour?
Yummy.
That's weird.
Why just purple roses?
They're pretty.
That?
Some girls like purple.
Be that as it may.
Georgia has her career.
Yaya has hers and she's getting married.
What about you?
You don't think about it, you do it.
Okay. Do what exactly?
If I work hard, someday I'll be like you.
Since when do you work hard?
You draw pretty nothings.
No urgency.
I'm too young for all that.
Barely 25.
Not too young.
I was a mother at your age.
You want me pregnant?
Late bloomer.
That's what I am.
You're all talk.
It flows from the heart through the hands.
Not for girls.
Was Frida Kahlo a man?
Her hubby, Diego.
How...
Did Yaya look happy?
I think so but she didn't show it.
Why not? Because of Hyogyong?
Probably. And leaving her nephew.
That's not Yaya.
Step-by-step.
She'll bring Junso along soon enough.
Yaya's getting married. Did you help with that?
It's a good thing.
She deserves to be happy with a good man.
Songjun says Junso can live here.
Isn't that nice? So kind.
Yujin's outside.
Have her come in.
It's a pain.
You talked to Mrs. Hwang?
Yes.
Do you know how much you hurt me?
Couldn't you have said something first?
I meant to afterwards.
I didn't get a chance.
Not a word to me.
Because you ignore my wishes.
Ignore?
I care.
We set the date for January 31st.
Saturday.
'Set?'
What about us?
You lived over 20 years in the States.
People live their lives there. Without parental interference.
It's not interference. It's concern.
Please just leave it alone.
After what you did to Yaya.
Me?
You think it was your mother?
Explain that.
Imagination is one thing.
But do you think I would treat Yaya that way?
What could I think?
Rushing into marriage like this?
I saw her get nauseous at breakfast.
So what?
You could have asked me.
I can't help but wonder. I don't understand you.
We barely even held hands.
Exactly.
You're not in kindergarten, not at school.
Does this make any sense?
Yes.
Not everyone is like you.
Like me?
How so?
Ask anyone.
No parent would welcome a girl like Yaya.
Find one and I'll pay them $1000.
I'm trying to behave here.
We can't take back what we say.
There's such a thing as good manners.
I won't have you hurting Yaya again.
Me hurting HER?
Say what's on your mind. Go ahead.
Yaya feels things deeply.
And I don't?
The way she stares.
She told you?
You'll never marry her, not in this life.
I love her. Who are you to interfere?
Hold on.
What gives her the right?
You want to say something? I think you do.
Well? Explain.
We're your parents. Both of us.
She never had children.
Who asked her not to?
It was for you.
To focus on you two.
I'm overwhelmed.
You little...!
Darling.
Sit.
Easy.
There's something I've always wondered.
What?
How did you two fall in love? When exactly?
Tell me that.
We worked together.
I was rearing you two alone.
Not alone. You had Grandmother.
Is that an accusation?
A question.
That's your ignorance talking.
You have no idea.
Did it start when Mom was alive?
Did it?
No.
Tell me.
You question her?
After rearing you as her own?
If you understand love you should understand mine.
Is your love so great?
Is that why you killed my mom?
Who said that? Was it that Night girl?
Did she say I killed her?
Am I an idiot?
- Little...! - Honey!
It's obvious.
Mom saw you two. She knew.
You married a year after her death.
Am I wrong?
If I am, say so now.
Tell me how great you are!
No.
I was fond of him, yes.
Just me.
That was all.
After your mother passed,
things just happened.
Oh? Do you swear to heaven?
I do.
And you?
Me, too.
Do you swear on Grandmother's grave?
Never once while Mom was alive?
Yes.
Darling... Darling...!
Now you'll have to deal with me.
You and Night both.
Life in America is no picnic.
That's your house.
Wait. Our house?
Yes.
Why? Did they call?
Yes.
Why...?
It's cold today.
Yep.
Oh.
For the groceries and such.
The meals.
You feed us every day.
And I don't?
Meals are better shared.
But not as much.
We'd have to order in otherwise.
It isn't much.
Please don't. It's just food.
What else is there?
Care.
Look at all the kimchi we go through.
I feel indebted to you.
It's just lunches.
Just lunches?
There's the fruit and snacks.
I won't take it.
You know what they say.
Better 10 family members than one sponger.
There are two of us.
I'm fine. But Sonji's a pig.
I'm glad you eat here.
I hate eating alone.
And there's no waste this way.
You can buy fruit sometimes if you like.
Or ramen.
Put it away.
Take it.
He's not exactly poor.
And we earn it.
Not at all.
The food doesn't cost much.
How about Italian tonight?
I know a good place.
Not tonight. Or tomorrow.
The next day.
You're awfully busy.
I'm watching Green Grapes.
Georgia's show.
Hello.
It's me.
Yes, ma’am.
We'll do it your way.
Good.
Is your son seeing someone?
Someone?
Dating I mean.
That might explain it.
No. He wouldn't have met Misol if he were.
A year is too long.
Let's make it next summer.
Of course.
While we're at it, I'll see to Misol's training.
Three or four times a week.
Leave her to me.
You think that's necessary?
Dating isn't like family.
There's charm, flirting, appeal.
Neither of them is very good at it.
I know my son better than anyone.
All right.
When does her flight arrive?
11 o'clock.
When I think of her starving on that flight...
Listen, about that.
Men like hearty eaters these days.
It's not like the old days.
I suppose. I'll leave that to you.
Good.
Have her call me when she's rested.
Mm.
Goodbye.
Right. Yes, of course.
Hwaom isn't coming in today.
Why?
I didn't ask.
He wouldn't be skiing.
I'm going snowboarding when I'm old.
Ri-i-ight.
Dropping something off?
Going out?
To get my hair done.
You're driving me?
