[Episode 66]
His name?
He must be under Yongjun's name.
Junso.
Who does he look like? You have pictures?
You must have a few saved.
No need for you to see them.
I'm sorry.
How can I make it up to you?
How did you find me?
You were robbed before.
Yongjun was the team leader for SCAP.
He must have seen your photo in your room.
While checking the inventory.
It should have been me who died.
Should have taken me instead.
I hated being poor.
Your father lived in the same neighborhood and dated since 9th grade.
My mother died, and my situation wasn't so good.
He said they had no choice but to approve with a baby.
So we had Yongjun.
Barely 20, an unwed mother. The ridicule I went through was difficult.
Destitute and the object of ridicule at the age of emotions, hurt me.
What's past is past.
Why did Mrs. Jang say you're a friend's daughter?
I asked her to.
Can you imagine?
It's all my fault.
This won't bring Yongjun back...
It must have been hard for you.
I thought, since your father was a strong man,
I thought he would move on and live his life.
In his condition?
He wasn't the type who would let his children suffer.
I can raise $100K without my husband knowing.
We'll start with that, then later...
I'm not asking for forgiveness. I can't.
By any means, I'll take care of you from now.
My heart hurts so much right now.
We can't turn back the clock, what do I do...
I understand. I'd have felt the same.
Instead of coming this far, you should have told me first.
Whatever happens, I'll think of something by tomorrow.
Of what?
Can you continue on with the wedding. It must be stopped.
What's the point of forcing it now?
No. If I wanted to stop, I would have never started.
You won't stop this? You'll marry him?
Of course.
Sondong, this isn't it.
I understand, I do. I'll live the rest of my life for you.
I don't care.
I know it's difficult, but don't be spiteful.
Spiteful?
Your future is important. Don't let the past ruin your future.
It won't.
I came to realize he'll make a good husband.
It's wrong.
Wrong?
Parent and child.
Parent?
Any relationship, any duty, has long since changed.
You had a duty to raise us and you left.
You didn't rear me, Yongjun did.
You're not my mother, you're my client, Georgia's.
Please. I did wrong. I did.
Help your mother, just this once.
Why should I?
Tell me that.
Justify yourself to me and if it makes sense, I'll listen.
We're still mother and daughter.
Despite who reared you. By blood.
How can a daughter become a daughter-in-law?
I yearned for a mother's love.
Georgia said you're her role model.
In front of me, bragging on TV.
Always smiling, so calm and controlled.
Working so hard in the home and out.
The best in all you do.
It's only natural that I want to learn from such a perfect mother-in-law.
You loved reminding me that I wasn't reared properly.
You called me an insect and now you lecture me? Must you live like this?
I was wrong. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I just grew up to be like this.
Don't do this, for your own sake.
Lecturing me again?
I'm asking, I'm begging.
Beg someone else, beg them not to be spiteful.
I yearned to call you my mother once.
I stared at your photo, called to you.
And nothing.
Seeing God oneself, and looking at a picture.
Isn't there much difference? Difference between heaven and hell?
What can I do now?
Other than live to atone for what I did to you?
I want nothing from you, not so much as a hug.
All I got was beaten.
Wailing? Whining in front of ME?
Telling Jia, 'That's my girl,' the day of the show.
In front of ME?
I wanted us all dead!
Start from the bottom for afternoon tea?
I should've known.
We never had more than $5 to eat out.
Yuk Sonjung letting a widow live there?
And who made her a widow? Because of who?
Introducing yourself as Jia's mother to the fitness instructor.
I went to the car and cried my heart out.
Jia bragged on your Phuket vacation when the tsunami hit.
Yongjun was holding down 3 jobs at the time.
He was lucky to get a few hours sleep.
While you were on a Christmas family vacation.
Having the time of your life?
Your husband had no idea.
But have you ever once thought of your children.
The day of the tsunami,
Yongjun's motorcycle was hit while delivering pizzas.
Hospitalized for 2 months with spine and leg injuries.
You have no idea what we went through.
And your son finds you, asks you to see me, and what do you do?
We must honor our parents.
But if our parents abandon us? Our mother?
'Women are weak but mothers are strong.'
Because a mother is different, she has to be.
Why have us at all?
If you had us, you should have taken responsibility.
Even animals take care of their own!
Fine!
I'm less than an animal.
Is that what you want to hear?
You know the difference between success and failure?
Successful people do what it takes, whatever it takes.
Losers whine about everything.
No talent, poor health, no opportunities.
Husband, parents, kids, whine, whine, whine!
They don't want to work so they make up excuses.
Did my parents help me found Gallery Jo?
Did my background land me a doctor?
You knew your father. I didn't know mine, not so much as a name.
Yes, my mother was unwed, she had a bad reputation.
But I landed the son of a large print shop.
Your father loved me beyond reason.
You're responsible for your own future.
I wanted my cake and eat it too.
I started with nothing and your father helped me become a nurse.
Still, I could have endured anything.
Except being poor.
I couldn't go back to that, I wouldn't.
A scarred and crippled husband, two little children.
A lifetime taking care of the three of you?
It was too much, I couldn't do it.
So I left you.
I have no regrets.
Turn back the clock 24 years and I'd do it all over again.
100% success takes 100% effort.
People try 50, 30% and whine they didn't get it all.
They blame others.
We make our own happiness.
Not our parents, not our children, no one else.
God gave us this life as a gift.
A gift of trial.
The wise take what they're given...
....and make something of themselves.
The foolish and lazy... whine.
As you should have.
No parents, no mommy, whining how hard it was.
And he expected me to welcome him?
But no, spare the rod and spoil the child.
If I hadn't, if I hadn't made something of myself...
...would he still be alive?
Why focus on me? What about him?
Will that bring him back? Will he not step into the crosswalk?
It's my fault, is it?
Is it my fault it rains?
Is a cold winter day my fault?
Stupid Fools! Fools!
All right.
I'm not God, but I'll give you a trial.
We'll see if you make your own happiness now.
So you mean to live here?
Like they say, a daughter-in-law is like your own.
So that's that.
People will be in awe at how well we get along.
You're marrying him despite the fact that you don't love him?
'Despite that?'
Think of it as steeping for flavor.
You can't take money with you when you die.
Not even poverty.
Only love is eternal.
I don't even have love to take from my own mother.
Do you recognize me?
You haven't changed.
I'm sorry.
Don't contact me again.
A new assistant?
Yes.
She's a bit older.
A friend of the family, recently widowed.
A baby?
Yes. A nephew of sorts.
Whew. I was worried he's married.
'Got me a trim.'
'U and Mom OK?'
'Yeah. Lunch was great.'
Don't sell this one. Keep it for yourself.
You like it?
For now.
I wish I had your talent.
You're a true genius.
C'mon.
Sonji?
She just now stepped out. Her friend was nearby.
Figures.
Not now, right? More like the second I went upstairs.
No.
I'm her brother, I know better.
It's her age.
Were you the same at her age?
Of course.
Hang on.
From the other day.
You put it in a frame too?
Nice, huh?
Thanks to your talent.
Any trash?
Not just now.
You're not going out?
No.
See you tomorrow.
Be safe.
Sure. Lock up.
Bye.
Why keep this?
You get good news?
Or do you feel good just staring at his face?
You'll be married by next year.
Who says?
A fortune teller, who's known to predict well.
Nuh-uh.
Why nuh-uh? You never know.
I asked him to check it two, three times.
You'll meet someone this year or he'll brand his hand.
Me?
I didn't ask.
You didn't?
What's the rush?
He said you'll be very happy.
I said you don't have anyone.
He said you will very soon.
How much?
The reading? $100.
But I don't begrudge it. I liked what I heard.
We could have feasted on that much.
What if it?
You're 36.
You're carefree now, but just you wait.
You don't want to end up alone.
The single life isn't so bad.
Single, he says.
That's all well and good while I'm here.
But someday I'll be gone.
True.
Your food, your clothes.
The help is only here during the day.
What about food late at night or early mornings?
Never mind your bedding.
Who can that be?
Who is it?
There was no name?
No.
Thanks.
Ma’am.
The same person, you think?
The same purple roses.
Looks like it.
From whom? No card...
Your future wife?
Nah.
I don't know, some smart, gorgeous thing...
'Ta-da! It was me! I sent the flowers. I'm a big fan of yours.'
I guess we'll have to see then.
Cat got your tongue?
What?
He got more purple roses.
Lucky him.
What did Yaya say? Are you listening?
Uh-huh.
How could she?
Well?
'Doubly related by marriage.'
What does she mean? They're not related.
She doesn't like the feel of it.
They see her as family.
It's all excuses.
'Must work for what you want.'
We're on our own.
What now?
We'll figure it out.
Suppose I get in HER way?
See how she likes that.
I hear good things about your Hapjong Book Cafe.
So do I.
Thank you.
Well-deserved.
True.
Give me 30 days for the design.
Thank you.
He's a gifted architect. We're in good hands.
Good evening.
'Need a driver?'
Hey, you.
I'm your driver, in case you'' drink and drive.
I'm getting married, you couldn't pay me enough.
You arrive by cab?
Yes.
Dinner?
A plate of vongole.
You should have let me introduce you.
You have some wine?
One glass.
Two.
Come on.
It's like a won the lotto.
It's not even 9pm. You can go home slowly?
You've already eaten and drank, so...
There's a lot of movies out.
How about a classy sky lounge instead?
Okay.
I slept like a baby last night.
It was the ginseng.
I'm glad. Your skin is perfect today.
Thanks.
I'm grateful it helped.
It would be a shame otherwise.
Let's get our hair cut together from now on. Couples came together.
Sure.
I wanted to buy something to stop by. Was thinking of excuses to see your face.
I saw you yesterday.
But I admit I was curious about your new hair.
Does yesterday's meal satisfy today?
Or keep you full?
It's nice, sharing this with you.
You've made my night.
Keep doing so from now on.
'You can't spit on a smiling face.'
I can't bring myself to keep her from the wedding.
Whatever she wants.
We won't be unkind.
I need to tell you something.
Something...I couldn't before.
What is it?
It's okay, whatever it is.
[Subtitles provided by MBC Translated by D. Bannon]
You left home?
Will you be uncomfortable?
I can go if you want.
Not at all.
You don't think the truth will come out someday?
Try. Today.
Nadan and I won't care.
I can't speak for your husband.
Is it true? Yaya is your daughter?
What's that?
