[Episode 64]
Does Nadan ski?
I don't know.
Lunch?
Okay.
Some rice cake.
Okay.
A little cake goes a long way.
But you can never get enough rice cake.
True.
You look so pale.
I dozed off.
You just woke up.
I had a dream.
Just now?
Yes.
I was driving with Nadan.
The light got in my eyes and I rammed the car in front of us.
The windshield cracked like spider's web.
I was bleeding all over. It flew all over it.
Blood?
Yes.
A bright light?
Yes.
Was it an ill omen?
No, a wedding dream.
The light through the windshield.
And a loud crash, I presume?
I didn't feel the shock in the dream.
But the sound was like thunder.
Sound in dreams is a good sign.
Oh yes.
Your pain is all behind you.
Only joy ahead.
I won't be in an accident?
Bleeding in dreams is a good thing.
And it flew out of you.
Broken glass, noise, light, blood.
You have a wonderful life ahead.
Nadan is your one and only.
It's a lovely dream, don't you worry.
Eat.
Our painting are mixed. Go organize them.
Uh-huh.
You need to hire someone.
I've got a friend in mind.
What?
Your style is good today.
Just look at the canvas, and mind your work.
I'll send it.
You're so photogenic. Even though you're handsome in person.
It was after he mentioned skiing.
You must be tired after your flight.
A housewives work is never done.
No rest with a family.
True.
Squid in the fridge, if you could skin it?
Of course.
Miss Jia is filming an ad?
Hm.
How much does she make?
Not much. She just started.
Father.
Oh. You came alone?
Yes. Father, buy me dinner.
Sure. What shall we have?
Anything good.
There's a lotus place.
Perfect.
What if I were busy?
I asked your nurse.
Nadan?
With the wedding so close, I hardly see him.
Georgia landed a sponsorship, she should take us out.
Call and remind her.
Mom.
Surprise.
I missed you.
I know.
You were a medical officer?
Uh-huh.
At least it wasn't to miserable.
The army's the army.
I read a book. A memoir.
The first day in camp.
He was #9 in line.
The counted off from the left.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
The guy next to him says, 'Y'ate.'
Our guy couldn't spit out his number.
A country boy.
Yes. They had them count off again.
By 5 and 6 the whole line was laughing.
They couldn't hold it in.
They get to this Southern boy again and he says, 'Y'ate' again.
He got an ear full.
It's harder not to laugh when we shouldn't.
Has that happened to you?
No. What about you, Father.
Oh.
Dad, Mom came home.
She did? When?
This morning. Will you be late?
I'm come as soon as I finish eating.
Mom made us dinner.
Uh-huh.
The wife is home.
It's been hard without you.
I know.
This acting business. I have to do all sorts of things.
Swimming, fitness, singing. The lessons cost a mint.
What's the hardest?
Dancing.
Since I'm learning, I get I have no rhythm.
All it takes is practice.
College students invest years of study.
All the more for entertainers.
It's no picnic. It takes work.
When we stink they call us hacks.
Horrible acting?
Uh-huh.
Don't wait till she calls.
Pay your respects. She's your elder.
Yes, sir.
Who's coming out on the show today?
Commando Unit.
They even do special martial arts.
A girl?
Sure.
Sounds fun. I want to watch.
Her face?
What do you ask?
She sounds scary.
Watch the show.
They use pretty ones.
It's nice to have you home early and chat.
The success of programs come with a price.
Success that takes considerable brain power.
Yours?
All of ours.
Mostly Hwaom, of course.
I should get my turn.
Why?
I've got lots of ideas.
I know they'll be hits.
It's up to you.
Draw up a proposal.
It's a secret.
Why? Think I'll steal your ideas?
Shouldn't our family get together before the wedding?
It's nearly here.
To do what? Go dancing?
I'll thank you not to be sarcastic.
Kidding. It sounds nice.
Our place won't do.
But on TV they go singing.
I'd like to go there.
Sure.
You boys have to make time.
- Sir. - Sir.
Should we ask Yaya to buy for her dream?
Mother, you use those expressions?
Because of the boys. From what I hear.
I think that's the best for me too.
Did she have a good dream?
Since Nadan appeared, they must be a perfect match.
The dream was quite clear.
She and Nadan are meant to be.
Dreams can be amazing.
Beyond science.
We see and feel the real in dreams.
Sometimes even the future.
I never have.
Your soul is impure.
How can you say that?
Would you prefer immoral?
Nana.
Hello?
Hello, it's Jo Nadan.
Oh. I heard you've been busy.
Yes. There's a lot to do before the wedding.
I can't reach Yaya. Is she in?
Yaya? Not yet.
She must be driving.
I just came by to drop something off.
You're outside?
Yes.
Come in. Please.
He's here?
Yes. He brought something.
Hello.
Come in.
Hello.
You should have come right in.
Please.
Thanks.
Dinner?
I've eaten.
Not junk food I hope?
No. I ate with a client.
This is wild ginseng.
You shouldn't have.
For Yaya, to keep her strength up.
We can feed her things like this too.
It's not farmed. It's real wild ginseng.
The real deal?
Yes. I built a house for a Hongchon rooter.
Rooter? A ginseng root digger?
Yes.
After living there for a couple of months, he realized the house was built well.
He gave me this root out of gratitude.
It's fifty years old at least.
Oh my.
May we take a look...?
This is worth thousands.
Is it?
Yes.
So different from farmed.
Hey. Uh-huh.
When are you coming? I'm in Songbuk now.
He should sell it to me.
Drive safe.
She's nearly home.
Puer tea.
Thanks.
You're sharing this with your bride?
My health is fine.
As are you. As we knew...
That must have been some house.
He spent his childhood in the hills with his grandfather.
His father died when he was born.
He's know in the rooting world.
He finished middle school, and his wife finished college.
They met when she was ill and fell in love.
They're well suited.
Harmony above all else.
His in-laws life there, seven in all.
He's a fine, hard-working man.
No affectations, just a desire for a decent home.
So I waved the design fee and built him a home meant for living.
No wonder he's grateful.
He's a man of conscience.
The greedy ones want what others have.
They're crazy with greed.
True.
Well done.
I wouldn't have accepted it but, well, I was greedy for Yaya.
This is hard to come by no matter how rich you are.
Lots of fakes out there.
The puer tea is lovely.
We have a friend in China.
Take some.
I couldn't.
Oh, the family get-together.
Your mother will be there?
Today, actually.
We should get-together, just the guys.
Sure. I'm been meaning to do that.
I haven't had time.
You don't even have time to go on dates with Yaya.
True.
Tell me about her childhood.
Where should I start?
Children can be so plainspoken.
We lived for Yaya's plainspoken comments.
One time she came home from school,
'Grandpa Jang, my teacher says I have to earn my allowance.'
'I'll shine your shoes every day from now.'
'$1 per. Better yet, $5.'
My husband said, 'Sure, $10 per.'
You put Yaya to good use, haven't you?
Good use. She should do it anyway.
You always made Yaya say things you couldn't say.
She sounds adorable.
She was.
I hope you have one just like her.
I can't imagine.
So you haven't heard about the dream yet.
What dream?
A wedding dream.
A good omen all around.
I'm curious.
Well...
I wonderful dream. Bringing in things like this, too.
I never dream.
That's a good thing.
None of our finest monks do.
When Sondong was little...
...Yaya...
Sondong?
A nickname, it means health and longevity.
I couldn't call her Poopy Pup.
It's adorable, Sondong.
She's so good, her dreams always ring true.
She's here.
This is for me?
I wouldn't have taken it otherwise.
He accepted it for you.
Take it.
Have you eaten?
Lotus leaves with your father.
That's food it wasn't meat. You have spring water?
Of course. Misun.
Allow me.
It has to be cleaned with a toothbrush carefully.
It's worth thousands.
Wash up, my lady.
Start with the root and chew slowly.
Go on now.
Bitter?
You should have some.
It won't help at my age.
It extends the inevitable.
You might feel lightheaded. It's nothing to worry about.
It's not bitter?
It's edible.
Shall we?
Leave them to it.
Oh.
Have some with me.
Sharing herbal medicine?
You need the energy more than me.
(Eat.)
I was worried he'd cry.
Junso.
There, there, there.
Still up, little guy?
Did you see that? That Dad smile?
If it was me, I'd eat it myself.
He must really like her.
If I were her real father he would have given it to me.
He'll hear you.
We can't hear them, can we?
Buy one for yourself.
You can afford it.
I can't go out and just buy one. Can't believe what's out there.
I'll restore their bathroom after the wedding.
It's slightly off-kilter.
Please do. They can use the other one.
So your nickname was Sondong?
Yeah, but don't tell anyone. It's embarrassing.
I won't.
You know your mother arrived?
Yes. Jia called me.
Try to hear her out.
Hm.
You had a dream?
A home needs a woman. The atmosphere is different.
A text at this hour?
They want to go play golf at Jeju.
You all live for golf.
Is he good at reading? What about the people?
So many clients?
Early? What time?
For my son.
Text me the address. Or just tell me now.
Look at him watching her eat every last bite.
Did he think we'd steal it?
Surely not.
Kidding.
He's quite taken with her.
You can see the love in his eyes.
She'll be happy whatever happens.
Just like you.
It's a good thing she didn't mention Yongjun.
The mother would have had a fit.
True.
Yaya, such a good life ahead.
How's it feel to eat thousands of dollars?
Quite warm, actually.
Go lie down.
Let it do its work.
Goodnight.
Must be nice.
He wants that spot reserved for his late mother.
You're home.
You should have called. We would have picked you up.
No need. You're too busy, even Jia.
The gallery then.
Fruit?
No.
I'm home.
Oh. Sit a minute.
You haven't made the invitations yet?
Yes.
Whose idea was that?
Mine.
You called everyone?
Yes.
I'd like to see Yaya tomorrow. Shall I call her?
I want to make her a meal.
She took care of everything while I was away.
Me, too. She's quite thoughtful.
Dinner?
We have some preparations to go over, so lunch.
Okay.
Even though it was hard,
I've had a change of heart.
After changing my perception, my doubts disappeared.
That's all it took.
What time?
12:30.
Okay.
It won't be stressful, so don't worry.
'Kay.
Any dizziness or discomfort?
I'm fine.
That's good then.
Shouldn't your father have eaten it instead?
Dad's in good health.
Get some sleep.
Okay. The family here was quite touched.
Were they?
They haven't seen anything yet.
Thanks. I'll take care of myself so I won't catch a cold.
Mm. After tonight it's ten more days.
Let's go to Hawaii for our first anniversary.
Okay.
'Who can tell the future, there's no guarantees.'
I'm glad that's not you.
One of my clients sets the mood, makes plans just so.
And his wife harshes his buzz.
We're a good match, huh?
I suppose.
If it bothers you, do you want me there tomorrow?
What about work?
I can go after lunch.
I'll be fine. You can relax.
If something happens, don't hesitate to call me.
Okay. No news is good news.
Mm.
Keep yourself warm.
Eat breakfast. I had to go out.
Hello.
How many people?
For one. My son.
Age?
He just turned 36.
A hold-out.
Yes.
Handsome?
Yes.
We'll see if he can't. Or won't.
Mom isn't here.
Where?
No clue. We're on our own.
You're going to give me severance pay.
It's still a job, and it's not like you can't afford it.
I don't need much. Only $5000.
Say that again.
I need to dress the part.
I'm a designer for a network.
Set designer? Or costume designer.
You have clothes.
From my college days.
Buy more when you get paid.
Forget Nadan. I've still got Jia.
Hwaom will take his father's place in 10 years or so.
Then Jia will see I live in the lap of luxury.
I'm off.
Have a good day.
Success is never easy.
-I'll be on my way. -Do well.
I'll ply Yaya with food and have an answer by tonight.
I'm counting on you.
Don't worry.
It's Haun's birthday. I'll be late.
No drinking.
Mm.
The help again.
I'm off.
Thanks for all your work. You were up since dawn.
There's an extra $30.
I'll use it well.
The soup just needs to be heated.
Eat a lot and get fat. Then, you can't fit in your wedding dress.
Now there's a memory.
Shameless little...
[Subtitles provided by MBC Translated by D. Bannon]
Are you out of your mind? How dare you?
Go ahead. Get it out.
