[Episode 61]
Are you drunk?
Water?
So that's that.
You burned your bridges.
Get married.
Just like you wanted.
No, no.
For the Korean language, you need to listen until the end.
Honey-sweetie.
Uh-huh.
You saw what happened with Mrs. Hwang?
Drink.
Me. I stood there and took it.
You went swimming with Baek Ya?
How lovely.
Who was it that slapped Misol?
Sonji.
Yuk Sonjung's sister.
Now we're all one big happy family.
And you? You want her for a daughter-in-law?
It's done now.
As much as he loves her, I hate her.
You're not marrying her.
A bad marriage...
I won't go there again.
I really hate her.
You know why?
She terrifies me.
I realize I'm not your mother.
You think, 'What's it to you?'
I know you do, I would too.
I'm not fool.
You think I am?
So what if she's not good enough?
We can make the most of it.
But I can't, not when I think of your mother.
Jia.
As hard as I try, I'll never be your mother.
Not true.
You've done so much.
I keep asking myself what your mother would have done.
If she were here, I mean.
Sometimes I think of her and it breaks my heart.
My respect for you turned to love.
You can imagine my feelings.
You think I didn't want children?
I'm a woman.
But the thought of your mother made me work that much harder for you.
Even though life isn't what you expect,
this is too much.
If she could see us now, she would curse the ground I walk on.
Because of that one girl Baek Ya,
we raise our voices,
your father collapsed,
and the relationship within our family came down to this.
Must we live like this?
We should live to be happy.
Are we?
Your poor late mother.
She would understand.
I knew her better than that.
If she were alive, she'd be no less upset.
You'd listen to her.
But I'm your stepmother. That's why you're neglecting me.
You should understand better than anyone.
I do, but it's a shame.
A big shame.
Don't worry.
We'll be happy, you'll see.
Jia. I'm sorry.
For what?
Everything.
Don't let it get to you. You have me.
I won't let you down.
Drink.
Where did you drink? With who?
Alone. In the Office.
Mother, the invitations came out.
Nice.
Your father's name was...
...Baek Sunho?
Yes.
And your mother?
Well...
what can it be?
They had the same last name, Baek. Eun. Ha
Baek Eun-ha.
Mom, do we have any milk?
All gone.
Why?
You drank it all.
So buy more.
I will.
What are you going to do?
Omelet rice.
When it's this thick?
Do you think making them at home is the same as the restaurant?
Hyogyong's are.
They're thin as paper.
Thinner tastes better.
You make it then!
I heard they will bring Junso back after Yaya's wedding.
Hm.
Well, what do you think?
If you don't keep an eye out, you'll be taking care of the kid.
What?
Give an inch and she'll take a yard.
That's Son jong's choices.
Call him to breakfast.
Breakfast, l'artiste!
I used French.
Someone will pick up my work soon.
You sold them?
Mr. Jang. Fifteen pieces.
Seriously?
Bought and paid for.
That's great. Congratulations.
How's it feel?
Lunch is on me. Son-jong, let's go.
Okay. Let's go eat on good terms.
Remember the padded jacket you liked?
I'll buy it for you.
Really?
No clothes. She has plenty.
Plenty?
If I wear the clothes she buys,
I'll get lucky like her.
Says who? Some con artist?
If that's true, wear her already worn clothes.
Hand-me-down underwear is good enough.
Where's Yaya's wedding going to be held?
The Jangchung Hotel's White House.
Am I invited?
Why?
It costs $1500, per person for meal.
You going to pay that much?
They're inviting around 30 people.
Only close friends and family.
Yongjun, Mr. Jang bought all my work.
If you were here I'd take you out, get you some nice clothes.
This hurts so much.
We think of him more in the good times.
It's strange how he never appears in my dreams.
I wish I could at least see him in my dreams.
People say, if the dead are at peace, they won't appear.
How could he leave? He should watch over us.
Don't you think so?
Deliver Ku Dongmyong's portrait to Jang Hwaom tomorrow.
He wants it at the office.
Yes.
Did you make a reservation?
Jang Hwaom.
This way.
Has he arrived yet?
Yes.
Yes?
Shall we start serving?
Yes.
I thought you would be on time?
I thought there would be traffic.
Getting lots of calls?
Yes.
From entertainment shows as well.
That's good to hear.
I admit I was worried.
Keep the appearances down if you want to be an actress.
Familiarity breeds contempt, not mystique.
Viewers don't tend to see you well.
What did your family say?
They said I did better than expected.
I didn't shake on broadcast at all.
We have a special coming up in a couple of months.
Can we count on you?
Of course.
If you ask, anytime.
Isn't it fun to be on TV?
Yeah.
I'm told it's exciting.
Yes.
You found a new manager?
Yes.
Your brother came to the house.
Have you been to Jeju?
For a two nights and 3 days. In the summer.
The more you visit, the more you like it.
Mackerel is in season.
You eat mackerel raw?
It's delicious.
Especially on Jeju.
That's the best part.
Do you want some warm sake?
No. I'm not much of a drinker.
Can I order the special course?
Behave yourself.
Of course.
You, too.
The C-Course.
The special.
It's too much. The A-Course?
Yea. It will be a shame to have left-overs.
We'll have 4 A-Course.
Yes, sir. For the main, you have the choice of lobster, steak, or ribs.
Lobster.
No, I want steak.
We can share the lobster.
Okay.
Ribs for me.
And some wine?
Uh-huh.
Are you in favor of your brother's wedding?
Are you not?
No.
Shouldn't a marriage be based on attraction?
Definitely.
Like I am to you.
I know our Yaya.
'Our Yaya?'
She's loyal and wise beyond her years.
I know since I dealt with her.
I see.
It's nice to see things improve...
Anyway, they deserve our support, don't you think?
Yes.
Now if only your mother would agree.
She's softening.
Oh?
Yes.
Do you want to drink cider? Or juice?
Orange juice.
We don't have any.
I'm sorry , but could you go to the nearest store and get some?
Keep the change.
Eat.
Thanks.
It tastes better when you pay.
Then I'll do it more often.
Wait till you hear her when she's full.
Am I just anybody to you?
Sometimes you're worse than a stranger.
When?
If you're a stranger, would you cut my hair in my sleep?
Because of that, you're gorgeous and look younger.
Am I right?
Yes.
Here. Have a taste of this.
The ribs aren't that great. It reeks too.
Not here, it doesn't.
Well? Does it reek?
No. It's good.
Hey, me too.
I'll swap you.
I have plenty.
No. Eat.
I was just talking.
Yongjun, if you're watching, don't be sad.
She's all alone without you.
Blame me if you must.
This is a treat. You earned it.
She earned her way.
Hm. When will yours be?
Oh...When it's time.
What time is that exactly?
If I knew, would I be here?
If I did I'd set up shop and tell fortunes.
Did you coach him into buying Yaya's work?
No. I hadn't thought of it.
He's always been thoughtful that way.
I'm glad.
Successful people should have a sense of being nice to others.
True. For all people.
Though my late husband was too good to the ladies.
Actually, Yaya's work is quite good.
She deserves the recognition.
She'll get it in time.
When thinking about sending her away, I'm happy for her.
And sad at the same time.
At a young age, she will have duties of a daughter-in-law,
and will have to have kids of her own.
That's a woman's life, she has to look at the bright side.
I suppose it's meant to be.
Why is that?
Yaya's always been adorable.
She's good at everything she does.
If she stays in one place, you can't help but love her.
Hwaom or Muom?
Muom has plenty of girls to keep him busy.
But Hwaom, he could fall pretty hard, I'm afraid.
That's true. They were separated since childhood and met as adults.
He may see her as a woman, you never know.
Exactly.
We should just see Yaya as a daughter who comes by.
Heading home?
I'm going to see my stylist.
On Taemin.
Keep in touch.
I will.
The producer is handsome, huh?
Producer? I thought he was an actor.
Helloooo.
Hello.
Soooo pretty.
Purtiful.
So rare these days.
So do you have a role model? An actress, a movie star?
What look are you after?
Kang Taehi's my style.
People say, those who tried know
Those who try and enjoy different clothes, can wear clothes well.
Exactly.
Yes, Mother?
Yes.
As you show so well.
May I ask what you do?
She runs a gallery.
Ah-hah. I should have known. You look like a piece of work.
Just look at you.
Any particular brand?
Around how much do you spend a month for shopping?
Sometimes she spends a lot, but price isn't limited.
We have a lot to talk about.
Likes, dislikes, even what color undernothing you wear.
Anything and everything to make you look perfect, okay?
Sure.
What did he buy you?
Japanese.
The sushi was fresh, it melted in my mouth.
He even put the best cuts on my plate.
And?
He said to keep in touch when leaving.
And he gave me advice.
Mom, we're stuck now.
Yaya is a done deal.
Can you accept her as your sister-in-law?
I have no other choice.
Which is why I'm here, so listen carefully
Like you said, I'm done with Nadan.
You're my last hope now.
All I want is for you to marry into the Daehae Group.
I'm going to America.
For how long?
They say, those in need have to work
They set the date.
If the groom's mother doesn't attend, they're at loss, not me.
You're not going?
I'll put it off with one excuse or another.
When they get antsy, I'll make them a deal regarding your issue.
My presence at their wedding will be the deal breaker.
So do well, even though I won't be there.
You have to take care of yourself.
Okay.
If I can't handle on my own, I'll ask Yaya.
Going somewhere?
To America to get some air.
I need to go to pull myself together.
When are you coming back?
I'll know when I'm there.
Take a week then.
Our children can get to us.
What about the gallery?
Oh Suwon can handle it.
What are you doing?
Mrs. Jang's birthday.
I'm making the seaweed soup.
When did you get up?
It takes time. 3am.
So nice of you.
See how you like me gone.
As soon as breakfast.
Happy Birthday.
Thank you.
Yaya made the seaweed soup.
You did?
Who needs boys?
Yes'm.
This is the first I've had your seaweed soup.
I hope it's not awful.
I'd say it's perfect.
From the look of it.
Someday you'll be making it for your husband.
True.
Here.
For you.
A painting?
Is it your work?
No.
Oh.
I thought you already had everything else.
Who did?
I did, who else?
Let's see.
It's just like her.
How did they draw it without even looking at me?
Hang it up in the bedroom.
Thank you.
We'll have the cake tonight.
Please. And the song.
Ugh. We're too old for all that.
Never too old for a song.
You never once made me seaweed soup.
But we gave you presents.
That you bought.
Not made with love.
But chosen with love.
Eat. The soup's getting cold.
Good.
Where did you learn to cook this?
I made it once or twice for Yongjun's birthday.
Thank you.
Your birthday is in two months.
It is?
You didn't know?
I'm not sure.
Nana, our address.
Our address? Let's see.
Songbuk-gu...
Yes.
Songbuk-dong?
The number?
The year? Of your birth?
Dog?
Right.
You have to remember your birthday, you have to.
January 10th.
Sorry.
You were kidding?
That's not funny.
You scared us.
Why?
Dementia is serious.
It can strike anyone anytime.
My heart just dropped.
If I lose my mind, pull the plug.
No jokes, not about that.
Your face structure shows a long life.
Really?
Eat, eat.
Begin.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Nana
Happy Birthday to you
Another year gone, without accomplishing anything.
It helps that you don't do anything.
What's that mean?
Only that having you with us is such a blessing.
You are the center of our lives.
Lip service or not, thank you.
It's not lip service.
I know.
You picked this up in Gangnam?
Hm.
Nana.
Mm.
Next year I hope for a surprise on my birthday.
I agree.
A honeymoon baby.
Mom, I'm losing my appetite.
Whatever for?
Three weeks to go?
Yes.
She hasn't called yet?
With father-in-law, once in a while.
She means to miss the wedding?
I had the same concern.
She's being perverse.
I should say so.
Nadan.
Yes.
Take a few days and visit your mother in the States.
Take Yaya with you.
Shouldn't you go?
She's not mad at me.
You know the effort she put in the two of you.
She's upset all her efforts went to waste.
You and Yaya go apologize.
It might help.
She's not coming home?
She'll attend the wedding one way or another.
This is better all around.
Yes.
I'll think about it.
What's there to think about?
About America. I have no passport.
You don't?
We can easily apply for one with our marriage license as well.
Do you want to?
I can't help but think of what you told me about your late mother.
If spirits exist, I'd be near my children.
How can she leave?
If it was me, I couldn't.
Don't you think so?
We can't force her to attend.
But it looks bad.
My parents are gone anyway.
Why force her if she doesn't wish us well?
Which she won't.
You don't mind?
Not at all.
You promised to show me your birth mother's photo.
You look like your father, but I see her in you, too.
Your hand.
I can't smell it.
What smell?
There.
Is it a bad smell?
My mom's scent.
My mom has a scent.
I smell it on you.
Remember when you applied sun screen for me at the cafe?
It was then.
After bath time, my mother used to apply lotion on me.
A mother's scent, in those moments.
Is that why you wanted to marry me?
As if.
It was a bonus.
If we leave your stepmother's seat empty,
I feel your mother will sit in her place.
Don't force her.
There's no need.
