[Episode 77]
A single mother. What did the father do?
Yaya tells me he was an attorney.
The wolf got himself a sweetheart.
Exactly. She was so polite when she came before.
Like a girl from Old Joseon.
The saying must be correct.
Wild girls make the get married well later on.
The player Muom, got such a innocent girl as a wife.
I'm not certain they'll have children.
Small girls like Sonji, are more likely to have children.
You don't mind that he's going first?
Not at all. It's a relief, actually.
I don't feel as rushed anymore.
Still, there is an order to things.
It's a problem if he doesn't want to.
But now he wants to.
Still, don't go around to matchmakers.
Just within close ones.
Right.
I've been quiet about it all this time.
But if I talked, there will be request coming in from everywhere.
Give Yaya something, a piece of your jewelry.
As her mother-in-law, to bond.
Okay.
Maybe the pearls. Nothing fancy.
When you get married, you'll get some from your in-laws.
What makes her so great?
Little orphan Cinderella is lucky to have us.
Mom's jewelry as well?
That's for me when she's gone.
Will you tend our graves when we're gone?
Don't forget that's her duty.
Just not the diamonds.
Those are mine.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Be nice.
What about Yaya?
Until when are you going to call by her name?
Stop fussing, and looking for faults, before Nadan scolds you.
That's what you can do for Nadan.
Let's do something different.
What?
Talk all night, go to a hotel sauna,
Eat breakfast, then go to the salon together.
What will people think?
Who cares? All that matters is us.
That's true.
That's just how I feel.
I hate to say goodbye.
It's just a few hours.
Muom and Sonji, how about that?
No kidding, I couldn't believe my ears.
But it's good.
Hm.
They can join us for our first anniversary trip.
Sure. Sounds fun.
Hwaom will be married soon, too?
About that...
That didn't work out.
Why?
Turns out it was Do Misol.
I found out today.
He's going to end it?
Of course.
It's a joke.
I feel bad for Misol Do.
I need a driver.
No snow tomorrow?
Hm. Were you hoping?
I would like it to, but the traffic.
How about rain?
Not me.
Me either.
Tell your family, at least by tomorrow morning.
Not tomorrow. Today.
Ah, that's right.
They can at least greet at the ceremony.
Sure.
Go in.
How did that happen?
No kidding. I still can't believe it.
It's like a dream.
I had no idea. What do I do?
He'll understand. I even fainted.
Good for you.
Your mother will be so pleased.
Yaya today, well now it's yesterday.
She looked pleased.
You two were so sweet together, too.
No sleep, no food, but still so happy.
I'm not tired. And I was up at dawn.
Wash up and get some rest.
When will you tell your mother?
After I wake up.
You're still up?
Just wondering if it all went well.
Did you get compensated?
Of course.
Ah, big news.
Sonji is marrying Yaya's brother.
How?
Sonji got on at HBN as a set designer.
They met through Yaya.
And then, well, there you go.
Even so...
How nice for Dallan. She'll be so pleased.
Why hasn't she called to brag?
It just happened today.
How does that family decide on marriage just like that?
He's the same.
They say it's thanks to Yaya.
We started it all.
Things happen that way.
Did you drink a lot?
A bit, but I'm sober now.
About Hwaom's affianced...
It's Do Misol.
The Migang company's daughter?
Yes.
He still likes her? Are they going to go through with it?
They found out today through Yaya. They had no clue.
They can't, not now.
Compared to jewelry, he rejected diamonds, even rubies and emeralds.
To take the metaphor further...
Imitation, no cultured pearls.
Imitation pearls?
He said he prefers cultured pearls, than diamonds.
How do you think I felt?
I couldn't help but feel cheated.
Still up?
Junso, Your aunt is getting married tomorrow.
Don't you worry about a thing.
Just be strong and healthy.
I don't care about school.
Just that you're happy.
And a good man.
Just one thing.
Don't give your mother a hard time.
Be well, while I'm away.
You have a good man for an uncle,
and you'll be in your mother's arms everyday.
Don't be burdened your father's not around.
No matter what happens, I'll make you happy.
Did you sleep well?
Is our new bride well rested, too?
She says not.
Why?
Sensitive, I guess.
You need rest for your complexion.
You're still glowing.
I can sleep on the way to Gangnam.
Are you getting your make up done there?
Yes.
Any dreams?
Not a one.
Tonight she will.
Oh yes.
Is Nadan coming?
He wanted to, but I told him to meet at the salon.
Driving back and forth can be tiring.
You didn't have a studio sitting.
So what? The wedding photos are enough.
It's a waste of money.
Right.
Will Sonji's mother be at the wedding?
Yes.
We can greet for the first time at the wedding.
True.
When are you getting married?
When it's warm. March.
March isn't warm.
That's just two months.
Are you against it?
Against it? We like it.
We'll live here. It won't take, but a week to make it ready.
Who's letting you live here?
Yessir. We'll get a dump in Samsong.
How big can Samsung houses be?
The poor girl.
What's it matter?
They'll bring a bed, we just need a few kitchen supplies, and we'll be fine.
So you say.
She wants to live here? It's your idea isn't it?
We have to at first, we're going to be family.
Till Hwaom gets married.
Ask her. She may not want to.
She's a nice kid.
So I'll have a daughter-in-law calling me, 'Father'?
Do you like it?
More than that...it's different.
Sonjung. No work today?
Nope.
I'm taking a break. Hyogyong and Sonji will be getting ready.
About this...
What is it?
Accessories.
She didn't pack the good stuff. She'll need it for today.
Come with me.
She'll think were taking her back?
How long are you going to let her stay there?
Are you going to meet at the wedding awkwardly?
Stop in, and tell her nicely.
Then she'll follow.
Why?
It hurts.
Where?
Stomach. I can't stand up.
It started last night.
Easy, easy.
I'm leaving now.
Traffic is light, so give me 40 minutes, my bride.
You're coming here?
Hm.
I said let's meet at the shop.
I didn't say either way.
What's the point of driving back and forth.
The Jangs have a driver.
I'm better than any driver.
You are, but you'll wear yourself out.
I'm not tired.
Seeing you is all I need.
Stubborn.
Not at all. It's love.
Okay.
What do we do?
What Dad?
Your mother's appendix.
Appendicitis?
Can you walk?
Not down the stairs.
911.
Going there ourselves is faster.
Here. Get on my back.
Yes.
What do we do? I don't think I can make it.
My mother's in pain and Dad says it's her appendix.
Use the driver.
I'll go to the salon from the hospital.
I understand.
Okay.
Some power from beyond? His late mother...?
What about the wedding?
She may need emergency surgery.
Yaya will love this.
Darling. Yaya wants a moment.
What about lunch?
Sonji will pack us something to eat at the shop.
Hm.
What?
I wanted to say thank you.
There's no need.
You have been so kind.
As fate would have it.
In a world where parents abandon their own...
...you took in a stranger...
...reared me...
...made me a person...
For that, I'm grateful.
Beyond words.
I will never forget.
Each day, each moment, I'll live to repay you.
Visit us, that's all we ask.
Yes. We're family now.
Think of us as your family home.
If Nadan acts up, tell your brothers and my wife.
Try as they might, men drive us crazy.
You should know that.
Yes.
Be practical.
Don't stew on petty slights.
It does no good.
You'll only be hurt, and it'll show on your face.
Like me, my looks are gone.
What face? What heartbreak?
She was kidding.
Take my bow.
You shouldn't.
It's my heart.
Mr. Baek would be so happy today.
So very pleased.
The baby on his back, holding Yongjun's hand.
The day they came to our front steps is still clear.
It seems like yesterday.
Did he know he was leaving that soon?
If he had, we wouldn't have let him move?
Rearing a baby with no mother, no help
The little baby walking around in diapers, is now getting married.
If your father had known he would pass...
...we would have put you in our registry sooner.
Poor baby.
We think of you as our own.
Think of us the same.
That's true.
Mother, please.
A bride with bloated eyes,
Yaya.
Yes?
The pain is ended, only joy lies ahead.
You understand?
Yes.
Forget the pain, focus on the good.
It's all due to your husband's love.
It's time to go.
If only she had been ours.
It would have been perfect.
Text
One can never forget sadness.
Time passes, but the pain still remains.
Sometimes while laughing, she's comes blank...
Sometimes, her eyes aren't focused...
thinking about something.
What can it be?
Thinking about her dead brother, and missing her mother and father.
That young one, despite that,
...she thought to thank us.
Making us all cry.
Welcome.
Yes.
Here. Accessories.
Leaving already?
For the house.
I could have waited.
Please.
Do you want some tea?
Some black tea?
Of course.
Coffee for you?
Please.
Look at her smiling.
I was going home to tell you something.
Hm. What?
I'm getting married.
I have a boyfriend.
Married?
Mm.
You just started work.
I knew it.
What's the rush?
Getting approved at work is more important!
You've been seeing someone?
You envied Yaya getting married.
Yaya hit luck with a husband and his good family.
If it was that good, who would stop you?
What's he do?
Rather than getting compared by parents,
I'd rather get married and be loved by my husband.
Uh-huh.
You always thought only of yourself.
Not an ounce of sense in you.
Is he in the art department?
No. Production.
A producer?
Assistant director.
How old?
Thirty this year.
It's not worth asking!
Work first.
Marry after your position is secure.
You saw Yaya and got jealous.
Didn't you?
Why are you staring at me like that?
Yaya's brother proposed to me.
Yaya's brother? Which brother is that?
Daehae Group's youngest son?
Uh-huh.
EEP.
Come again?
Is this true?
Yes.
He introduced her to the Jangs before Yaya's trousseau arrived.
Dae...Dae...Daehae Group's youngest son?
Is this a joke?
Even I'm not that crazy.
You're serious?
Uh-huh.
Whoa.
Mom, Mom... Mom, Mom... Mom!
...Mom!
She needs surgery.
Appendicitis?
Yeah.
I'll leaving now.
Dad's going to stay and will join us for the wedding with Jia.
Okay.
Back with us?
Water.
We were talking about marriage?
Yep.
The youngest Jang asked her to marry him.
But what does he see in you?
Just. He said I'm a breath of fresh air.
He isn't going to take it back?
He told his parents yesterday.
And they like you?
They love me.
I got some points, when I went to see Junso before.
We'll introduce you at the wedding.
What should I wear? Traditional?
There's no time for this.
Where do I go for my hair?
Is it your wedding?
They judge the daughter by the mother.
I have to make a good impression.
I can't take away anything.
Conservative. Yet stylish.
Wow. I can't believe it. How...?
We met last October.
Tell us everything.
No.
No?
But we're curious here.
How's he look? His brother looks good.
He's hotter than you.
He is? And tall?
Of course.
Here.
Thanks.
But you're so tiny.
My height is just right.
True, true.
You got the giggles?
Maybe I do.
Why not? My little girl just needs to do right.
Please.
Talk about a blessing.
No kidding.
Now I've... Well, I've seen it all.
Does it hurt?
Yeah.
Hwaom.
Mrs. Jo is getting her appendix out.
When? Today?
Hm.
Let them know she won't be attending.
They should know before coming in.
But...?
It can't be helped.
See you there.
Of course.
Get your hair done too, all pretty and all.
I will.
Mrs. Jo won't be there.
Why? Being difficult again?
Not this time. Appendicitis.
They have to operate.
No.
Today of all days?
Why would her appendix pop now?
These things happen.
We should be grateful it's not the groom.
Yongjun, Yaya is getting married today.
He's a good man, you can rest easy.
And our baby is fine.
So pretty.
Make me perfect.
Of course.
Let's see.
She so pretty, isn't she?
I should have mine done here also.
The photographer?
Next door.
Sushi.
Enough for three.
Hm.
I'll just have a little.
Have all you like.
The bride and groom won't get much later.
True.
You told your mother?
Yep.
And?
She fainted.
Seriously?
Make-up today.
An event today?
Meeting with the future in-laws.
Is your son getting married?
Ah, well... hee-hee...
I'll tell you later.
Should we find a caregiver?
When we have to.
