[Episode 89]
Wait.
What's today's date?
You should hurry up with the wedding.
Why?
It has to be this Saturday.
There's no other date.
What?
If you don't do it this week
you won't have a child for the next 5 years.
Really?
Yes.
It doesn't matter if you're taking time.
No, my family are in a hurry.
Let's do it.
Okay.
You two are meant to be with each other.
Your love and happiness will last forever.
That's all we need, right?
Yes.
Are you going to rent out your son's office?
I should. I can't leave it empty.
Then I'll use it.
Do you need an office?
I need to work on something quietly.
Just use it then.
I don't need rent or anything.
It all works out.
Honestly, it's not good to rent out to just anyone.
I would feel better if you used the space.
I'll pay you rent.
We should fill out a contract, too.
That would make me feel more comfortable.
Today must be my lucky day!
Have some.
I saw a property office nearby.
Let's just sign the contract today.
It's hard for me to come back again.
Okay, sure.
I'll buy the furniture if you were going to get rid of them.
Everything becomes nothing when you die...
I still can't believe it.
Me, too.
Even though we're here now, life is just so unpredictable.
You're right.
That's why we should live to our fullest everyday.
Are you sure you don't mind using the office the way it is?
I don't mind.
I'll just bring in a comfortable sofa.
Did you think about it?
I think you're right.
I don't want to be in this business anymore.
I think it'd be better if your parents thought it's your idea.
I don't think Mother likes me very much yet.
I understand.
You should start your art studies.
I'll get you some books.
Okay.
You should make up some other excuses.
Don't say it's because of having babies.
That's embarrassing.
I'll tell them there is no other date available.
I'll say there will be conflicts.
What furniture do we need to buy?
We have a dressing room so we don't need a closet.
Should we get a new bed?
I just got it last year.
We just need a vanity then since we don't have a powder room.
Do you need anything?
Just one thing.
My pearl.
Oh, gosh...
What did you want to talk about?
My casting has been canceled.
Why?
Someone from the top was against using a new face.
I thought everything was decided.
It was one of the new executives.
Who's replacing you?
Yoon Soohee.
I thought about it and I just want to work at the gallery.
How about acting?
I've lost interest.
I don't want to pursue it anymore.
It's not easy working here either.
You need a good eye for art and experience.
Yaya will help me.
Was it your idea?
It was mine.
Why would she decide my career?
I just asked her for help.
Okay, it might be better in the long run.
Working in the broadcasting industry can cause lots of gossip and it can be hurtful.
I'll start going out to the gallery from next week.
Be ready for me.
We poured in so much money.
It breaks even with the money I made from TV commercials.
I actually made a profit.
You two can manage it together later. The two of you...
Yes.
Have some, Mother.
She manipulated her.
Yoon Soohee might be better at acting,
but the character fitted you much nicer.
The drama would've been more popular with you in it.
Isn't that right, Mother?
I don't know.
I hope they get the poorest ratings.
You should start cleaning Nadan's stuff in his office.
I can't do that yet. It still hurts my heart.
You didn't hear anything from Mr. Jang?
You mean Hwaom?
Yes. I rented out Nadan's office to him today.
He needed an office?
Yes.
He says he needed a quiet place to prepare for a new program.
I heard he was working on something new.
You didn't just let him use it?
He didn't want it for free.
This is good. I can see his face often then.
Huh?
This Saturday?
Yes.
Why?
It's supposed to be the best day.
He says if we miss this week then it'll be bad luck for us.
Still, how can we prepare it in just one week?
We adjusted the date at the hotel on our way.
For the wedding dress, they'll get it done by Friday no matter what.
What about the wedding gifts for the groom's family?
He said Korean traditional attire is enough.
They don't need anything else.
We're only getting good watches and rings.
You can't rush a wedding!
This isn't right.
You can't just listen to the fortuneteller.
Well, we want to avoid any possible bad luck.
You need time to get the right rings.
We stopped by the mall on our way back.
We just have to go and pay for the rings.
They had a 3 carat ring.
Who said anything about a 3 carat ring?
Mom did.
We never agreed to that.
You don't have to buy it if you don't want to.
I can just use the money that Grandpa left me.
No, just leave that money alone.
Okay, then I'll take your credit card.
So where do we start?
I'm feeling dizzy.
You should talk to Sonji's mother first.
We all already have enough clothes.
And you already got Korean traditional attire.
So, we don't need to do much.
It's not that simple.
There are proper traditions to follow for the bride.
Just prepare for the trosseau by Thursday.
Well, money can solve anything in a day.
That's what I'm saying.
Don't talk to your grandmother so casually in front of Sonji.
I won't as long as you pay me!
This is an emergency.
Do you think his family is okay with this?
There's no reason why they wouldn't be.
We're preparing everything.
Hi, Muom.
My mom wants to meet your mother tomorrow.
What time?
For lunch.
I see.
Okay.
12:30 at Shilla tomorrow.
His mother wants to meet.
You mean at the Korean traditional restaurant?
Yes.
What should I wear?
You have so many things to choose from.
But I should wear something appropriate.
You should just dress the way you can afford.
Are you saying I should dress shabbily?
You know what I'm saying.
I guess you'll be moving out in just a few days.
What are you going to get for me?
My painting.
That too, but I also want a vanity.
That day will be the best day for you?
Yes.
Without arguing with each other?
Do you expect us to argue?
Make sure you behave in front of her.
Don't worry.
The fortune teller said Pearl is full of luck.
Pearl?
That's Sonji's nickname for him.
Gosh...
How about yours?
Why do you need to know everything?
Just answer my question or I'll ask Sonji.
Clam.
Clam that holds the pearl...
Are you feeling okay?
It's just too lovey-dovey for me.
You and Mom are lovey-dovey a lot yourselves.
Junso, is it yummy?
Eat well and you'll be as tall as me.
Say, okay.
Is that enough for you?
We'll have ice cream for dessert.
I brought extra bowls so that we can share.
You know the dog we saw at the park, the Afghan Hound?
Oh, the dummy dog?
But it looked so gorgeous.
Is it really as dumb as you say?
Yeah.
I can't believe that.
There are people like that, too.
Some people look fancy on the outside but they're dumb inside.
Well, for that dog, the owner groomed it...
Junso...
When will you be old enough to eat cold noodles?
When did you have your first cold noodles?
When I was in kindergarten.
My dad bought it for me.
What about you?
Me, too.
I had a happy childhood until elementary school.
I had both of my parents.
How can I make Hyogyong happy again?
I'm happy but nervous.
About Sonji?
Yes.
Not counting tonight, there are only four more nights left.
She'll come and visit often.
Well, she's going to live with her in-laws.
Not just the parents-in-law, but also the grandmother-in-law.
Plus not just any family... It won't be easy.
She can't just come by anytime she wants to.
You can't have the cake and eat it, too.
There are things you have to let go of.
She's so petite.
I wonder if she can survive well.
She may be tiny, but she's a tough cookie.
And she's so quick, too.
Did she ask you for any particular gift?
Just a vanity.
That's it?
She'll also pick one of my paintings.
I'm home.
Let me have a word with you.
Take me to a movie.
Muom already watched it.
Which one?
'My Love, Don't Cross' Did you watch it?
No.
All my friends watched it. I'm the only one left.
Your mom's going to be busy with the wedding.
Okay, I'll take you.
Are you adding artificial seasoning?
Just use natural ingredients, no artificial flavoring.
Didn't you learn from your mother-in-law?
Shouldn't you be a good model for me?
If you put in artificial seasonings,
Soup, stew, vegetables, even stirred foods...everything will taste the same.
It's not like I'm saying anything wrong.
Why don't you cook?
I saw on TV that people become one of two things:
You either become an adult, or just an older person.
You should listen to others every once in a while.
We should make yogurt from now on. It's simple.
Get two 1-liter milks for me.
Where is Hwaom?
He left early because he had a breakfast meeting.
I'm watching that movie with him at 3 o'clock.
He'll realize the happiness and necessity of a marriage.
Don't worry too much.
I can't feel relieved until he has his own wedding.
You can't feel relieved even after the wedding.
He needs to get back safely from his honeymoon.
Get my credit card from my secretary later.
Okay.
This isn't for free.
Then what is it?
Bring me a honeymoon baby.
It should just be a gift. No conditions. That's what Grandpa used to say.
Right, Grandma?
Right.
The president of Daehae Group shouldn't ask for anything in return.
I'm a parent, before being the president. I want to be a grandfather, as well.
Well, to be exact, he just wants a grandchild.
Granddaughter to be more exact.
You're so greedy.
Be a good son for a change.
I'm being a good son by marrying her.
Stop spitting on the food.
Look at Hwaom.
I'm the better son now, right?
Okay, just finish your breakfast.
How come you're not saying anything, Dad?
Am I wrong?
Huh?
Let's just say you are.
That's not good enough.
Tell me straight up.
Fine, you are.
I am!
It's Hyogyong's birthday tomorrow.
Is it spicy beef stew today?
Yes.
Shepherd's purse is in season, right?
Right.
I heard it's really healthy. We should make soybean paste soup with it.
That sounds so good.
It's good for constipation, too.
It'll make you less tired.
I'll have rice for breakfast tomorrow.
With shepherd's soup...
Okay.
Mother, artificial seasoning is bad for us.
It's better to eat bland food than adding artificial stuff, right, Father?
Of course.
Did you add them?
A little bit because the spinach was bitter.
It's not bitter. That's what spinach tastes like.
Let's get rid of all the artificial seasoning, so the maid doesn't use it.
Natural ingredients are also better and healthier.
Don't use it.
A doctor family shouldn't be using artificial seasoning.
Why don't you make the side dishes from tomorrow, then?
What is it?
It's bland. It doesn't have much taste.
What time do I need to be home by?
Are they coming by 7?
Yes.
Anytime before that.
Hwaom wants to meet, the three of us.
I can go, even today.
What's wrong with you? At your age...
What are you talking about?
You've been using artificial seasoning all along?
Everyone does so.
No, they don't.
Even restaurants don't use it these days. The better ones...
It's still healthy food.
You can't guarantee health when you're old.
There so many people with cancer and diseases.
I always say the way we eat is the most important.
You always said I was right, but behind my back...
What do you mean, behind your back?
The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law's roles are reversed.
She's saying it's for the sake of our health,
and tries to bring out the taste in the food.
But the best you can say is 'Make the side dishes from tomorrow?'
Well, it's not like she's doing anything.
What do you mean?
She's helping Jia and taking care of Nadan's loose ends.
If you did something wrong, just admit it.
That's what adults do. That's the right thing to do.
That's enough.
You're nagging more and more everyday.
This is nagging?
This sounds like nagging to you?
Then, what do you think it is?
You think when I point things out to you, I'm merely nagging?
Hi.
Do you have time for lunch today?
Of course.
You wanted to meet up with Jia.
Yes.
I'll decide on the location and text you.
Okay.
Should we leave at around 6:20?
Yes.
Sonji wants to be picked up at Cheongdam department store.
Should I bring something?
Just bring a flower basket.
I made some Andong rice punch.
All right.
Take it easy when you work. It stresses out your back.
Got it.
There many places that I can go,
but there's no place like home.
Hello.
It's me, madam.
Oh, hi. Why aren't you here? It's almost 10 o'clock.
I sprained my ankle.
I'm at the orthopedics right now.
Oh, no...
I don't think I can come out for a few days.
I'm sorry but we don't have anyone available.
You need to call in at least one day ahead of time.
Muom must be happy.
Marriage can be the end for men.
When looking at mom and dad, it's more like paradise.
You should get married, then.
I'm waiting to find my perfect match.
There's no such thing as perfect.
You just have to support each other.
Well, I have to find someone I want to live with.
Sonji texted that she's getting married this Saturday.
What? This Saturday?
That's what the fortuneteller told them to do.
Why are you here so early?
Our morning schedule ended early.
One dish?
Let's share a pizza together.
Do you have Margherita Pizza?
Yes.
Filet Mignon and Caesar Salad for me, medium rare.
Yes, sir.
Want some orange juice?
Me, too.
Three orange juices, please.
It must be very hard for you.
Well, it's hard on Yaya, too.
I heard from Mother, you're using our office?
Yes, I'm renting it for my personal use.
Are you working on something privately?
Something like that.
I heard from someone that the casting might change.
I hear Yoon Soohee's agent has been working hard at it.
Right.
They told us yesterday.
It's already been decided?
I wanted to meet you to tell you that beforehand.
I decided not to work in the entertainment industry anymore.
I'm going to learn things around the art gallery with Yaya.
But you've been trying for a while.
I don't think it's the right path for me.
Lots of people are unknown actors for many years.
It's very rare to be famous in just a brief period.
I feel like I'm always begging.
It's not begging. You're just being passionate.
I'm using the office to produce a new drama.
I decided on the topic and I think you'd be perfect for it.
Me?
Yes.
Who's the writer?
It's a secret.
I'm sure you haven't heard of him.
It's his first drama.
When will it be broadcasted?
I don't want to rush things.
My goal is to have the first 20 episodes by this year.
It's scheduled to be aired next January.
I'll do it.
Who's the director?
I'll have to talk to the writer.
Can't you be the producer?
I'm in charge of planning it.
I can work at the gallery for now and get ready for shooting, right?
Right.
Is the writer female?
No.
You'll see him when I open the office.
It's between us for now.
Okay.
Is Muom really getting married this Saturday?
Yes.
Are we invited?
I need to apologize ahead of time.
I didn't know she was going to marry before my son,
so I haven't taught her how to cook.
I'll teach her the basics whenever I can.
She just needs a few months to practice.
I was only a dancer and learned all the cooking from my mother-in-law.
She lacks in many ways.
But please teach her well, she's a quick learner.
We'll be just fine.
I'm grateful that she's willing to live with us.
That's the perfect size.
Your younger brother is getting married. How do you feel about that?
Well, I thought about it.
And I made up my mind. To stay single.
Stop joking.
I'm serious.
I don't feel the need to live with a woman.
I have a friend who is interested in you.
Do you want to meet him?
I'll think about it.
Well, just say the word.
Okay.
Are you going home?
No.
I'll see you often around the gallery?
Yeah.
I guess there's always a path out of a difficult situation.
You're right.
I'll work hard at the gallery and practice acting, too.
I'll be good at both.
I wonder why he decided to stay single...
Who took these pictures?
Mr. Woo did. Don't I look too serious?
You look romantic.
I'm a romantic guy at heart.
I know.
I'm signing the contract for the 7-story commercial building tomorrow.
Design and construction...
What are you going to do with all that money?
Many things.
First, I need to feed my family.
Then?
Bonus for my employees since they're my family, too.
My goal is...well, I'd need your agreement...
When I lived in the US, I saw many people who couldn't afford healthcare.
When I earn enough, I want to donate half of it to that cause.
I agree.
I'll donate on your behalf.
What's wrong with you?
You make us cry so much.
Thank you.
Sure, I'll be going.
You should watch the movie with your husband.
I cried so much.
What did Hwaom say?
Just that it was very moving.
That's not good enough.
I lost my appetite these days because of him.
Listen to Muom and don't worry too much.
What if he doesn't change his mind forever?
If I die in the next couple of years, I'll tell him on my death bed.
He can't ignore my dying wish.
Gosh, don't say such a thing.
Hello.
You have a beautiful home.
Welcome.
Honey!
Come on in.
Hello.
This is how we live.
It's such a luxurious house.
I made some rice punch for you.
Oh, this is so hard to make!
The food is catered.
Why did you get so much food?
I hope it's to your taste.
Of course it is.
