[Episode 93]
Wow, this is a nice neighborhood!
Rich neighborhood.
Why are you calling her?
We'll shout out, 'Your wedding gifts are for sale!'
We decided not to do that.
Hello?
We're here.
Your wedding gifts are for sale!
What are they doing?
I thought they weren't doing all that.
What's going on?
Sorry. I'll tell them to shut up.
I'm hanging up.
Let's just go in.
You stay out, groom!
You're supposed to just watch us.
You promised to just go in without doing this.
I don't remember such a thing.
This is all part of the fun.
Why are you having fun at my pre-wedding ceremony?
Hey, we're all supposed to have fun together.
You know how much these gifts are worth?
We simply can't do that.
No way!
Your wedding gifts are for sale!
There they come!
What in the world?
I'm sorry.
They're not keeping their promise...
Gentlemen.
At least he's addressing us properly.
Let's not cause too much noise here.
Do you know how much these gifts are worth?
We can't just hand it to you for free.
Well, I have the money ready.
Here.
It's not enough.
Let's not make this complicated.
Are you trying to control us?
No, of course not.
Well, we control you tonight!
I know that.
That's why I'm begging you to just come in.
I'm being very polite.
Well, we politely reject your offer.
Our wish is to get the highest bid.
We dream of getting the highest bid.
All we work for is to get the highest bid.
Come to us, more money!
Big money gives us pride.
Little money kills our spirit.
Come to us, more money!
We want more money.
Suite yourself, then.
Hey, bring it out.
What's wrong with you?
You're embarrassing me!
Stay out of this.
My dear.
What is it?
Have you seen a pair of chicks in the yard?
I have.
What did you do with them?
I ate them so that I could have more energy.
Good job. Good job.
Good job.
That's why I call you the best husband.
They're not coming in?
They made up their mind not to come in.
Leave them be.
They're the ones who will be cold outside.
My dear.
Yes?
Have you seen the yellow cow that was tied to our stable?
I have.
What did you do with it?
I sold it and gave the money for my brother's wedding.
Good job. Good job.
Good job.
That's my wife!
Are you the bride's friends?
Yes.
You've got to lure us to go in.
Don't just stand there.
Will you go in if we did something for you?
It depends on what that is.
How much did you put in?
Just enough.
Let's go in, boys.
No, thanks.
But you promised!
Oh, no, we didn't.
We're set on doing this.
Well, we have our plans, too.
Like what?
Stick it out. Stick it out!
Hello.
Let's talk inside. Come on.
Okay.
No. Go easy!
Why are you pinching me?
I'm sorry.
I wonder if Sonji's family will be happy with our gifts.
Of course, they'll be.
Hwaom isn't meeting Yaya these days, is he?
There's no way he can call her out when she's living with her in-laws.
Yaya won't agree to see him, either.
I just hope he'll get tired and give up.
He will.
First love rarely leads to marriage.
Who was your first love?
Huh?
Nobody.
You.
You had somebody in high school. The older girl from the church choir.
You always had a thing for older women, huh?
Oh, no.
She was just my fantasy girl.
You did date her a few times.
We just went out to a bakery with my friends.
Back then, boys met girls at bakery shops for dates.
It wasn't like a real date.
Give me a break, please.
No...I shouldn't dream of the impossible...
Gosh, it's blinding me!
It's like I'm dreaming.
Just wearing this ring makes me so happy.
I'm sure.
How much is that again?
It's worth a house.
You must be so happy.
After getting off the car, they suddenly refused to go in and made a scene.
So what happened?
We had to haggle.
So they got money out of Sonji's family?
Accordingly...
It's all part of the fun.
Was Sonji's family upset?
Oh, no.
My friend's wife suddenly died.
Why are people dying so much these days?
Make sure to drive safely.
I will.
See you later.
Where are you going?
My friend is here.
At this hour? For what?
She's upset about something.
Prepare for tomorrow's breakfast.
We're having toast tomorrow.
You can't even make breakfast?
I can't.
I won't.
Waking up early to make rice, soup, and side dishes makes me exhausted.
I get dark circles around my eyes.
There are tons of women who work and do house chores.
Besides, our maid will be returning from tomorrow.
Why can't you eat toast for breakfast?
Jia said she liked rice over toast.
Don't use her as an excuse.
Or suit yourself and cook.
You said you can cook without artificial seasoning, so show us what you can do.
You should get on my husband's good side, right?
How can you have no conscience whatsoever?
You get what you give.
You think you were fair to me?
I offered to pay for your own place, but you refused.
You barged in here and made my life miserable.
I told you to stop irritating me, didn't I?
How dare you point things out to me?
Well, it's really hard to respect you.
You're not the only one sick of me. I'm sick of you, too.
So, you can't even fix me a meal?
No.
I may be your mother, but I'm also just a person.
And everyone has emotions.
What you've done to me is unbelievable.
You should've listened to me from the beginning.
If it wasn't for you, Nadan would still be alive today.
He died all because of you.
Are you putting the blame on me now?
Well, it's the truth.
If he didn't marry you, he would've been with me at the hospital.
All day at the hospital with you?
He would've stopped by at night after work!
This is my house.
How dare you raise your voice to me?
I refuse to do what you say anymore.
You're the one who turned down your fortune.
Did I, or my brother, ever ask you for money?
Why are you here, then?
Why did you move in here?
Will you have moved in if we were poor?
Yes, I would have. I would've chased you to hell.
Talk to me with respect!
Jia talks casually to you.
Tell her to talk to you with respect, too.
She's being my daughter while you're being spiteful.
You look at me like I'm your worst enemy.
You must not be very smart.
You're ruining your own life.
I know that.
What you did was worse than what any human could do.
What do you want from me?
Want me to get out of this house hand-in-hand with you?
Live with you and cook and do laundry for you?
Want me to be your mother after all these years?
Is that what you want?
Have you thought about how my brother and I lived just for one second?
I don't dwell on my past.
Everything in my life flows like water.
You think a stream would rather be a creek?
An ocean rather be a small river or a muddy puddle?
I'm only going to move forward with my life.
Focus on my present and future.
You think you can live that way forever?
Just watch me.
Or you can expose the truth.
That I'm actually your mother.
Not a mother-in-law.
Should I do that?
Go ahead.
All right.
Now that Nadan is gone, there's nothing I'm scared of.
Of course, my husband will be shocked for a while.
Yes, he doesn't know about my past.
He knows I had a first love, but couldn't marry him.
And that my baby was a stillborn.
And then, he died of a car accident.
That's the story I told him.
Go ahead and tell him the truth.
He'll at least know that I married your father for love.
You, on the other hand, lured Nadan out of your revenge for me.
He'll hate you forever for it.
He'll be too scared to be in the same room with you.
You'll be kicked out of the house.
Fine.
Let's expose the truth and leave this house together.
Since you never had a husband, you wouldn't understand.
A marriage is much more complicated than you think it is.
There are parts that nobody can understand except spouses.
You think he'll leave me over this?
He'll be shocked, of course.
But the level of shock he'll feel towards you is way more severe.
After one night of sleeping together,
he'll forgive me and move on.
But where will you go?
You can't go back to Hwaom's house again.
I guess you'll just have to live with your sister-in-law.
Will Hwaom find you a new job?
If they find out the truth about you,
Hwaom's family will not accept you like before.
They will have no love left for you.
Life is short.
That applies to you, too.
You poor soul.
At least it's better than being foolish like you.
That shameless...
You must think about her every once in a while. That girl from the church choir...
Oh my gosh.
I heard that men can't forget their first love.
Who said that?
I heard it on TV.
That the first love is the only true love,
and all other loves are not as meaningful.
Are you nagging me right now?
Don't I have the right to be mad?
Don't you have a first love?
All girl students' first love is their teacher.
You were such a flirt when you were younger.
Hitting on older girls...
A flirt?
Then were you a player then?
Stop talking informally.
I'll talk however I want to.
You said I was your first love.
That I was the first woman you loved.
How could you lie through your teeth?
Why don't you look her up and meet her?
Maybe you already met her.
How would I meet her?
She already left the country.
And how do you know that?
You were contacting her all these years.
No.
Don't even deny it.
I heard it from a mutual friend.
Because you still have feelings for her.
Get your act together.
All men are the same.
Well, all women are the same, too.
How are women all the same?
How? Tell me.
Oh, I don't know.
Don't know what? You're the one who brought it up.
I'm going to sleep. Good night!
I don't like toast.
I can't cook rice in the morning.
I get exhausted all day,
after cooking this and that for breakfast.
I'll cook breakfast from tomorrow, then.
Oh, yeah?
Well, you do have more time than me.
For breakfast, rice is better for your body.
I can feel it.
Aren't you going to be too tired?
It's just one meal out of the day.
Our maid is returning from today.
Tell her to finish work early and stop by my hospital today.
If she overworks her ankle, it won't heal properly.
Okay.
I can't hire just any maid since the house is empty most of the time.
And it's a hassle explaining everything again.
Aren't you going to ask me what happened? About yesterday.
Oh, right.
What happened yesterday?
What did the writer say?
He's a really young writer.
So, he lacks?
Lacks in what?
She means, does he lack in experience of writing.
He's Hwaom's friend.
What did he write before?
I couldn't ask him many questions yesterday.
The problem is...
He's the one who dropped spicy rice cake on me.
The one who paid you $20?
Were you nasty to him that day?
A little.
I just complained to him a little.
What did he say to you?
Nothing.
Not even about the work?
It was an opening party,
and since I had acting class, we had to leave early.
Did Hwaom call after that?
No.
Since Hwaom is producing, the writer won't turn you down.
I mean, they are friends, so...
Tell me what happened.
You met the writer at a spicy rice cake place?
Hey, Sonji Yuk!
You did this, didn't you?
Yup.
Erase them right this moment.
It's a little piece of me.
Just so you can remember me after I move out.
Mom!
Yes?
Look at his feet. Aren't they cute?
Oh, goodness! What if people see them?
It's the winter. He has no reason to take his socks off.
I can't even go for a swim.
You don't go swimming these days anyway.
Anyhow, think of me night and day.
Worry about whether I'm doing well.
You should as my older brother.
I think she has a point.
Thinking about you won't do me any good.
And even if you're trapped in the desert,
I'm sure you'll find your way out and survive.
So I don't worry a thing about you.
Well, just remember that
I can afford your art pieces every once in a while.
Me, a madam.
She's right. Be good to her.
Fine.
I think it makes you look sexy.
Now that you're leaving, who will do my pedicures?
The nail shop does a better job.
Yeah, but I like you doing my pedicure.
I'll come by some time and do it for you.
Oh, gosh...
You just worry about your in-laws from now on.
Oh, come on, Mom.
Everyone knows when you're slacking off.
You have to be diligent to be loved.
If you do your best at everything, good things will eventually come to you.
I know.
What the elders say is all true.
You only get what you deserve in life.
How are your dizzy spells?
I'm not dizzy anymore.
After eating patties just once?
I should continue to eat them, right?
Hello, Hwaom?
Are you coming to the gallery today?
I'm already here.
Really? Can you come to my room then? With Jia?
Jia is with Mother. They're swimming together.
You're not getting involved with 'Green Grapes?'
It doesn't need my help anymore.
What time did you come?
Half an hour ago.
Did Muom's friends cause a scene last night?
Not that bad. It was fun.
What did Writer Jung say?
He doesn't think Jia is right for the character.
That's not true.
I think it'll fit her perfectly.
They just got off to a bad start.
You heard what happened, right?
Yes.
He holds a grudge over that?
It's not like they got into a big fight.
He doesn't let things go easily.
Plus, he's not a fan of girls like Jo Jia.
The way she looks?
He thinks she's a spoiled, rich girl.
He grew up poor with his older sister.
His sister was a junior high school teacher, and put him through college.
His life was similar to mine, I guess.
He won't listen to you?
I can't pressure him into casting her.
He's my friend, but he's also the writer.
What did he write so far?
He's way too young.
'Golden Mask.'
The Internet novel, 'Golden Mask?'
Yes.
Wow!
It's a secret, though.
Don't tell Jo Jia that, either.
If people find out about that, he'll sever ties with me.
He hates big mouths.
Okay.
But how come he's okay with you being so rich?
Because I'm a humble person.
Tell him that Jia is just as humble.
I did.
Tell her to be good to him.
I'm not saying buy him meals.
But if she really likes the drama, tell her to be passionate about it.
He wants me to find somebody new,
but I already looked everywhere.
Jia is the best fit for this character.
He should be pretty rich himself now.
He's not very materialistic.
I mean, you saw him. He doesn't even have a car.
Maybe he's still poor at heart.
Actually, it's the opposite.
He gave a couple million in donations.
He must be a really good man, then.
Don't like him more than you like me, though.
I miss Junso.
Stop by the art studio, then.
You have his pictures, right?
Did you sleep well last night?
The good baby slept well last night.
He's such a good baby.
Don't give your mommy a hard time.
That makes you a good boy!
Did you receive the trousseau yesterday?
It went well.
Sonji was grinning from ear to ear.
After getting a 3 carat diamond ring.
She ought to be happy.
I guess diamond rings are a big thing for women.
Of course.
Why?
Because they're expensive?
Isn't it so mysterious that it shines so beautifully although it has no color?
Just so beautiful.
She must be so thrilled.
She has 'happiness' written all over her face, huh?
Look at this.
My gosh!
This is what she did. When I woke up this morning...
Why?
She wanted me to think of her everyday.
That's the joy you get for having a sister.
The end of the rice rolls are the best!
Have some.
Oh, dear gods...
Is this food truly intended for humans?
This is amazing.
These rice rolls must be made of gold!
I guess it's not so bad.
You have such great cooking skills.
Your mother is much better than me.
Mom's food has deeper, rich flavors,
while yours is cute and trendy.
Just what did you put in here?
Fermented kimchi.
Since Mom can't live forever,
I wish I could marry her and enjoy this delicious food until I die.
Should I just order for us?
Yes.
Can you put a little bit of anchovy in this salad?
Yes, ma'am.
Let's order steak and spaghetti and share them.
Okay.
Fillet mignon and angle hair.
Can you add some potato dumplings on the side?
I can't order the whole dish since it'll be too much.
I'll let the chef know, ma'am.
How would you like your steak?
I had medium last time I was here.
I thought you'd remember.
I'm sorry. I'll make sure to remember next time.
200g of steak, please.
Yes, ma'am.
Did you drive?
Yes.
I wanted to have a glass of house wine.
You go ahead.
What do you have?
Montefalco Di Sagrantino.
It has the perfect flavor for ladies.
It'll be very good.
What's the vintage year?
It's a 2005 bottle.
Okay, then.
Would you like some fruit juice?
Fresh orange juice, please.
Yes, ma'am.
And tiramisu for dessert.
Certainly.
Did you study wine?
I just picked it up while going around with Muom.
What's a potato dumpling?
Try it. It'll be really good.
You look nice in that outfit.
Muom likes me dressing up like this.
He bought me several outfits.
Do you see Hwaom these days?
Yes.
He has an office space at our art gallery building, Nadan's office.
Why?
He rented out space from Mother.
He's planning a new drama,
and he needed private space.
Then, you'll see him often.
For work.
Jia...
My sister-in-law is about to be cast for the new drama that he's working on.
I'm taking care of Jia for the time being.
Since she can't stand her current manager,
I'm helping her until she finds somebody new.
What's your thought on this?
On what?
What are you planning on doing?
If Hwaom continues to pursue you,
you two could end up becoming lovers.
Nothing will change.
But what if he continues to be stubborn about not giving you up?
