[Episode 86]
What devotion.
Mother, can I be honest about everything now?
To be honest, Mother opposed our marriage until the end.
So I told her once.
I'm sure you remember.
The day I met you at the neighborhood cafe.
I told her I liked Nadan for who he is.
Even if he ever got sick and couldn't work for many years...
I said that I'd never leave him.
Even if he ever got Alzheimer's and couldn't move on his own...
I told her I'd take care of him and love him forever.
I'll support you the same way.
Thank you, even for your words.
You'll get to see that I'm not just saying these things.
You know I have no mother or father.
I don't have Nadan anymore.
All I have are you, mother, and Jia.
It's such a touching movie, huh?
Uh-huh.
Do you think we can live like that?
We will. We will try.
There's nothing more beautiful than human beings.
I think human beings are the most beautiful creatures.
Like the lyrics, 'It's more beautiful than flowers.'
I think if your soul is beautiful,
even if you're old and wrinkled, you're still beautiful.
Right?
Look at grandma and grandpa.
Yeah.
I really like you.
I'll be good to you.
Me too.
Let me get it.
No, Muom.
A woman should do this kind of thing.
There is no woman and man these days.
Hand it over. You might burn yourself.
Should we order some tempura, too?
The udon should be better since it's so spicy.
Can we order one udon after we finish the spicy rice cakes?
How'd you think to come to a place like this?
We watched a movie.
What did you watch?
My Love.
Me too.
Such a moving story, huh?
I know.
You didn't cry?
Of course I did.
You're here alone?
I don't mind eating alone.
I've been living alone for a long time.
Come join us.
Okay, sure.
I eat the egg, right?
Yaya, I have something to talk to you about.
Bring out some fruit.
Hang on.
Let's just wipe the table.
No, I need to talk to Yaya.
Come on.
Yes, Father.
Would you like some apple or pear?
Apple.
Sonji should be busy preparing for the wedding.
How about you go on a vacation with a close friend?
To America or to Europe.
I'll go with family later.
We've already been to most of the places.
There's no rush.
I should help out with Jia as well.
Hm...
Are you going to talk to Sonji's mom tomorrow?
I can do that right now.
Hello?
It's me.
Yes, Janghun.
What are you doing?
Just reading newspapers.
Why don't you come over for dinner with the kids tomorrow or next week?
I can go.
Are you going to be okay?
I need to accept it. What can I do?
Everyone leaves eventually.
It's a matter of sooner or later.
You're right.
That sounds more like you.
Pick a date with the kids and text me.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Okay.
I'll arrange Nadan's savings and give it to you.
You should manage it.
I don't need money, Father.
I'll just take care of Jia, and get an allowance from you.
An allowance is different.
If I'd known, we should've registered the marriage before.
I know.
Money is too much of a headache for me.
There is no reason.
Just put it in the bank and use it.
People learn how to spend money well with experience.
There's a saying that it's more difficult to spend money than to make money.
Nadan probably saved up quite a bit.
He's giving her everything?
Actually...
Yes.
There's one thing that troubles me and I regret it.
What do you mean?
Please don't tell the family.
The first son of Sungbukdong...
Jang Hwaom?
He said he liked Yaya.
He likes Yaya?
Yes.
He wanted to stop the wedding.
Is Hwaom coming home or not? Huh?
Is he drinking somewhere?
If he did, maybe Nadan would still be alive...
and Yaya's life would be different, too.
It's not your fault.
Those who are meant to die, go and those who are meant to live, stay.
Yaya is still young.
When the family is healed in a few years,
I'm sure she'll be out of that family.
You think so?
Of course.
If Jang Hwaom really likes Yaya, then he'll get her.
She's only a widow by name.
Well, you can't consider her a real widow.
She didn't even go on a honeymoon and didn't even register her marriage.
If you think about it, there's no reason why they can't be together.
Elders are the problem.
She thinks there's no way it can happen.
I'm sure Yaya feels that way. She'd think it's her duty.
If they're meant to be, they'll end up together no matter what.
My biggest wish is to see her live happily.
I'm sure Yaya feels the same way.
She wishes you a happy life.
Did you have fun swimming?
We didn't go.
Why not?
The soon-to-be madam is here?
Did you guys fight?
Something happened.
What happened?
Well, my soon to be bro-in-law.
Bro-in-law?
Short for brother-in-law.
He likes Yaya.
What? What in the world?
You can't believe it either, huh?
That can't be.
That's what my clam said.
He even knelt before his parents to ask them to accept her.
Why don't you look surprised?
I heard from Hyogyong.
Hyogyong?
Yaya's sister-in-law.
How does she know?
Did she hear from Yaya?
Your clam's brother came to her and confessed.
Gosh, no way.
His parents should be in shock.
Yaya has no feelings though.
Don't you know what a woman is like?
How can she act otherwise right now?
The elders would be outraged.
Hold on.
Let's think about this.
How does this affect you?
Is this good or bad?
What do you mean, good?
If Yaya becomes my sister-in-law, it'll be uncomfortable for both of us.
You'd have to treat her well.
I know.
Don't worry.
Why are men so crazy over Yaya?
All the men with good backgrounds.
That's what I'm saying.
Do you think she's attractive for a man, too?
I don't know.
I only see her as a kid.
Goodness, this is a problem.
What if Yaya suddenly changes her mind one day?
She moved into Jia's today.
Why so?
She wants to live as their daughter-in-law since she was already married.
That makes even less sense.
These aren't ancient times.
She's thinking of acting like a real widow?
She moved in because she has no one to lean on.
If she had her own family, she'd be out of her mind doing so.
So you two spent the whole day worrying about Yaya?
We watched a movie and walked by Yangjaechon.
What does clam say about Yaya?
Of course he doesn't like it.
How can he call her his sister-in-law?
He can pick any girl with a good background.
She's an orphan with no home.
Now she's a widow, in a way.
Is he too naive?
He's a one-hearted guy.
Okay, that's Hwaom,
But what about his parents? Such a well-raised son.
The whole family is having a hard time.
I don't blame them.
I'm sure they never imagined.
That the first son of the Daehae Group wants to marry a widow.
I guess you can never have your way with your children.
Some say, life with no kids is a good life.
That's not the case for everyone.
My life is better with my kids.
My son and daughter are doing so well, not causing any trouble.
All I want is for my artist son to find a good woman.
That ends my life-homework.
You weren't so lucky with your husband. You deserve to have good children.
It's not that I didn't have luck, it was just short.
You want to give all of Nadan's savings to her?
It's not even a small amount.
You want us to keep it?
They didn't even have a married life.
She moved in to live as our daughter-in-law.
That's the least we can do.
If she does some good, then we should return the favor.
You should take your time.
Don't stop me.
You tried to stop them behind my back?
Imagine how hurt she must have been.
You should put yourself in my shoes.
I didn't oppose it for our own good.
Don't just consider the background. Consider how she is inside.
I'd know with more time.
I deal with patients all the time.
I can figure someone out in just 30 minutes.
Yaya really loved Nadan. The same is true for Nadan.
She doesn't have any ill feelings toward us.
We don't have Nadan anymore.
Don't think of her as a daughter-in-law.
Treat her just like Jia.
Don't make her do house chores like washing dishes.
Is that why you called her out?
So she doesn't have to do the dishes?
Treat her nicely for all you've done to her before.
Not as a mother-in-law, but as a real mother.
Have some sympathy for her.
Elders should have some dignity.
How about you meet with the Migang Group's daughter again?
I'm sure you almost married her since she was okay all around.
You said you can communicate well with her.
Communication is important.
We don't need to worry about Nadan anymore.
You never officially dated her.
You should do that.
I agree.
I've never forced you to do something before.
You're the first son.
At least for marriage, you should follow what the family wants.
We won't make our own son unhappy.
Of course.
Let me tell you what I think.
I thought about it over and over.
I'll respect Yaya's decision.
I don't want to marry without love.
What if you don't?
The way I am is fine.
As a single man?
Yes.
You should meet someone.
There's no need to live a lonely life.
I'm not lonely.
It will be more painful to date and marry someone with no love.
Hwaom.
Please don't say more.
Grandpa said everyone should make their own decision for their lives.
What if it's the wrong decision?
Some people like the traditional Korean house and some don't.
Not everyone has to live the same way.
It's important that each person has a different meaning for happiness.
Muom's getting married.
There's no need to worry about carrying on the family name.
That should be enough.
You don't need to have two daughter-in-laws.
Please don't say more.
This isn't right.
You don't lack anything.
There are many single people who work hard and enjoy their lives.
Even overseas.
This is serious.
Really serious.
What are we going to do about his stubbornness.
We can let him be for a couple of years.
Not everyone can live as a single person.
Maybe he's just threatening us.
Hoping we'll give in.
We can't give in for just anything.
I can give in for many things but not Yaya.
I don't want Hwaom's life to...
Yes, thank you.
Mrs. Hwang, I got Baek Ya's phone number.
Really?
What time is it?
Is it too late?
It's still early for young people.
Give her a call then.
Okay.
Hello?
Mrs. Hwang from Migang Group is on the line.
Please hold.
Okay.
Um,
Hello.
I don't know what I can say to console you.
Sure.
It's never good to think too much when having a hard time.
Can you come out to talk about different things?
What time?
You decide. I can arrange.
Okay.
I'll text you with the location.
Okay.
What does her name, Ya, mean?
I don't know. I never asked.
You're curious about everything.
I'm sorry.
Aren't you curious how many stars there are in the sky?
How about how many tons of water makes an ocean?
I'm sorry.
You don't need to be sorry but you should've been curious earlier.
Huh?
If you had more curiosity when you were little,
you wouldn't be asking me about the meaning of 'Ya' now.
You're right.
Now that I think about it, I'm curious as well.
What does 'Ya' mean?
Wow, Junso, look over there!
Junso, this is a puppy.
Pet him.
It would've been so nice for Junso to have a father like the Teacher.
What kind of medicine is it?
It's digestive medicine.
I don't eat bread in the morning.
What do you want me to do?
I want rice.
I don't play at home all day.
Even when he was working many part-time jobs,
Yongjun made me breakfast everyday,
You want me to prepare both?
Bread and rice breakfast?
We can all eat the rice breakfast.
There's nothing good in flour.
That's why your stomach is so weak.
It's not because of flour. It's because of you that I can't digest food.
He wants to live as a single man.
He's being hardcore in his decision.
What do I do?
Just leave him be for a few months.
I'll bring someone nice that looks like Yaya.
Don't sigh, grandma.
There are always ways out of a problem.
The problem is your brother has no intention of marrying.
He has intention to marry.
It's just that Yaya.
He's a guy after all.
Maybe only for a few months, but he won't live like that forever.
Trust me.
I feel better after talking to you.
You'll see.
Our grandma has done too much good in life,
for her grandson to die single.
What did you do with Sonji all day?
We talked, walked and ate good food.
What kind of good food?
Beef bowl for lunch and spicy rice cakes for dinner.
We also watched a movie.
Which movie did you watch?
'My Love, Don't Cross that River.'
People say that movie's good.
Who did you hear that from?
From my granny friends.
It's better that you don't watch it.
Why?
It's about a real couple that was married for 76 years.
76 years?
The grandpa loved grandma so much.
You might feel disappointed in life if you watch it.
That much, huh?
Yes.
I really wanted to get married after watching that movie.
You should tell your brother to watch the movie.
Why don't you ask him to take you?
Should I?
Yes.
I think he's playing the piano.
It's been so long.
I should've kept learning the piano.
Yaya better not see him playing the piano.
She wouldn't be able to help, but fall for him if she saw him.
Is he practicing to impress Yaya?
That can't be.
Yongjun, did you meet Nadan?
Are you with him?
He's a nice guy.
Please take good care of him.
Poor my brother.
Poor Nadan.
Our mother is downstairs.
It's the first time we're living together ever since she left.
How do you think she feels?
Not too good, huh?
I don't feel too good about it, either.
I didn't give birth to a child, but a tiger.
Since I couldn't raise you, just take the money and leave.
She'll never do anything that doesn't benefit her.
Is she trying to chase me out?
What could she gain from it?
I'm sure she's trying to get more money by pressuring me.
She's similar to me only in a bad way.
Did you have a bad dream?
I almost went there.
Where?
The other world.
Can you take me?
Sure.
Father...
Let's go in my car.
Sure.
Thank you.
See?
If I got into Nadan's car, I would be dead while sleeping.
The cause would be revealed as a heart attack.
I doubt it.
I'm serious.
Yaya saved me.
Is Nadan too lonely to leave alone?
You dreamt about him because you think about him.
You wouldn't say that if it were you who had the dream.
What are you doing?
The thermostat in my room is broken.
My room is like a refrigerator.
I heard you said you're not getting married.
Is that true?
You have perfect DNA.
You have to spread your DNA wide to strengthen Korea.
Don't you think so?
I'm not trying to talk behind her back,
but Yaya lacks a lot compared to you.
Let's say she has a good personality.
She's so much shorter than you.
Is Sonji so tall?
Anyways.
You're not a monk. How could you live alone forever?
You're not even a woman.
Haven't you heard of the saying, a hero loves beautiful woman?
You should marry a Korean Nicole Kidman.
Is Nicole Kidman even attractive?
I wouldn't want her even if she was brought to me on a plane.
What about Scarlett Johansson?
Right?
Their lips are similar.
Stop talking so that I can sleep.
What is a new bride doing sleeping so late?
If not me, shouldn't she be impressing her father-in-law? That shameless little...
Let's have breakfast.
Okay.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I couldn't wake up because I felt dizzy.
I was going to prepare breakfast.
Why were you dizzy?
You were fine yesterday.
She says she was dizzy.
I have low blood pressure.
I always have trouble getting up in the morning.
You don't have to wake up early.
It's not good for your blood pressure to wake up early.
Come eat.
Is it rice today?
She...
I said it would be healthier to have rice in the morning.
Hm.
I don't like rice in the morning.
Do we have bread, Mother?
I'll toast some right away.
Sit down.
Come on.
I'll just eat it with water for today.
Okay.
I guess you made a lot of beef soup yesterday.
Yes.
I hear it's better to change the menu for every meal.
I don't like having the same soup twice either.
You must be weaker than you look.
Maybe this is why a mother should raise a child.
I'm sure no one can be better than a real mother.
They say it's because I wasn't taken good care of when I was young.
Don't do any dishes or cooking.
Did you move in to work?
We have a maid and your Mother is here, too.
Like you consider us as your real parents,
we want to think of you same as Jia.
You sleep when you want and eat when you like. Do whatever you want.
No one will say anything.
She agreed, too. Right?
Yes.
You should, sis.
Get some fitness training with Jia.
It'll be so much better than going alone.
And you don't have to think much when exercising.
Okay?
Yes.
We should clean Nadan's belongings.
There's no rush.
