How are you doing? Are you doing okay?
Yes.
Everyone is so nice to me.
That's good.
They wanted to thank you for your wedding gift food.
Yeah.
I think I was born to be a daughter-in-law.
I love living with my in-laws.
That's good to hear.
Songjun is at his art studio?
Yes.
Something happened, huh?
Right, Mom?
I'm really quick with these things.
Tell me what's wrong.
Come on.
Your brother...
Yeah?
Gosh.
Did he get hurt?
No.
Hurry up and tell me.
You're making me so nervous.
He wants to marry Yaya's sister-in-law.
What did you say?
You can imagine what I'm going through, right?
Really?
Are you sure about this, Mom?
I can't believe this myself.
Ask Yaya yourself.
Has he gone crazy?
What did Yaya say?
She promised to talk to Hyogyong today.
Songjun has really lost his mind.
If what you're saying is true.
Anyway, okay. Let's hang up.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
Let me think about it.
Don't let your in-laws find this out. It's so embarrassing.
Of course, I won't.
He's gone crazy.
Gosh, it's so good to see you.
I haven't seen you in hours.
We have a guest at Mother's office.
I have to get going soon.
I just came by to say hi.
Did you see Sonji?
Yes.
They were dressed in Hanbok attire.
They totally fit the image of newlyweds.
Did she mention anything?
About what?
Sonji's mother found out.
Songjun told her that he wants to get married.
So?
She wants me to persuade Hyogyong.
They should do what they want.
It's not like they're children.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
I don't think Sonji knows anything yet.
Oh, this...
Fill this out.
Email me a copy of your bank account.
Forget it.
I can't write well when I get paid to do it.
Business is business.
I don't think of this as business.
I'm just doing this for fun.
But still, do it.
I'll take the money after the work is done, then.
If it becomes a huge hit.
All right.
Hold on to this for now.
What time did you end yesterday?
Around 3 o'clock?
You must be tired.
Plus you just got back from your business trip.
Do I look tired to you?
Nope.
I feel just fine after taking this.
What is that?
My boss gave it to me and it works like a charm.
You want me to take it?
Yes.
I brought it just for you.
Does it taste bad?
It's just tangy.
After trying it just once, you'll be begging me for more.
Do I sound like a medicine salesman now?
Is it that good?
Isn't this for men or something?
It's just concentrated fruit extract.
The color is scary.
Just eat it and feel the difference.
It's really great, I tell you.
Eat stuff like this and living healthy is the best.
That's true.
It's sour, so just swallow it.
Swallow. Swallow. Swallow.
Good!
Good girl.
You just have to swallow it without tasting it.
You eat this? But you're a guy...
It's just three seconds of a nasty taste, and I feel good all day.
You'll see what I mean today.
I should go now.
I'll leave this here.
Don't put it in the refrigerator. Or it'll get hard.
You came all the way here to make me eat that?
Something like that.
You're not here to do something in your office?
I have a lunch appointment.
Well, thanks for everything.
Keep up the good work, Ms. Writer.
Stop mocking me.
Do I sound like I'm mocking you, Ms. Writer?
Talk to me.
What fruit do you want?
Who cares about stupid fruit?
I don't care about that at all.
What did Songjun say?
He said he met somebody he likes.
Oh.
So, naturally I was happy that my son finally met someone.
Of course you were happy.
He said he wants to marry her.
I asked him how old she was and he said she's 31.
Five years younger than him, so it was just perfect.
I asked him what she did for a living.
And he goes, "You'll give us your blessing, right?"
Who would've known that it was Yaya's sister-in-law?
Nobody ever could've imagined such a thing!
I thought she'd be somebody half decent.
So at first I said, "Sure!"
And then, he says "It's Hyogyong."
Hyogyong?
He said it with such a straight face.
Mom, you didn't faint?
I thought he meant Hyogyong's friend or something.
Right.
Then he says, even if I can't understand him,
just accept this for what it is.
He's gone mad. Just crazy.
How can he fall for a woman with a baby?
He says he's the happiest when he's with her and Junso.
Was he high or something?
Did you look into his eyes?
Did he look like he was high on drugs?
What's worse is that he said that when they compare souls,
his soul is inferior to hers.
What the heck?
Why?
What's his logic in that?
He says, her soul is as clear as marble in water.
Maybe he went crazy after drawing so many paintings.
It's chaos...
I wasn't going to tell you.
I didn't want to worry you.
You can't handle this all alone.
What should we do about this?
He's not going to listen?
I don't think so!
He wants me to not think about her background.
How she's a widow with a baby.
Well, she has a baby. He expects us to disregard that?
He says, he can never swim out of Hyogyong's deep, deep soul.
He's blabbering a bunch of crap.
I told him he's crazy, and he says life is all about going crazy.
And that he's crazy in love!
He needs to get checked into a mental hospital.
What do we do about this?
You don't see him changing his mind?
Not at all.
He's head-over-heels in love with her.
You should just beat some sense into him.
I can't use violence.
You're going to get caught with child abuse.
He also warned me not to see Hyogyong.
This is why having a son is of no use.
In the end, he just becomes somebody's husband.
All of my friends' brothers are like him, too.
I lost all of my appetite.
Mom, you lost so much weight.
What's crazy is that your dad came out in his dream.
He gave Songjun a golden ring and disappeared,
and he gave the ring to Hyogyong in his dream.
What's wrong with Dad?
Your dad died young, making me a single mom.
And now, my son wants to marry a broke, single mom.
I don't know what to do about this!
Do you think Yaya could persuade Hyogyong?
Songjun even went to see Yaya.
He begged her to persuade Hyogyong to marry him.
I can't believe this. It's just unbelievable!
This is why people say life is full of surprises.
I can't believe this happened right after your wedding.
This isn't something we should take lightly.
This is just degrading to our family.
He's crazy.
You don't have any idea about what to do, do you?
Go out and meet your friends.
Yaya said she'd be coming over in a bit.
I'll stop by even if it's late at night.
But I won't be that late.
Okay.
Oh, you said you have a driver's license, right?
Yes.
You just need to practice your driving, then.
I'll be your trainer.
Do this.
Mom, you just be unresponsive to him.
Don't ask him any questions and don't even bring her up.
If they set the wedding date, tell him to do it on his own.
Say that you'll take no part in it!
And let him just marry her?
Yaya and I will do all the dirty work.
Nothing will work on your brother.
He can't seem to hear anything...
Well, if Yaya and I persuade Hyogyong,
I'm sure she'll listen.
She's not a stubborn person.
She can just move anywhere.
Yaya has enough money left from Nadan.
She can find a place for Hyogyong.
I suggested that to Yaya, but she said unless...
Hyogyong moves out of the country, he'll find her.
All she has to do is not list her new address.
She doesn't have to report her address unless it's for Junso's school.
Right?
Don't worry about anything.
I'll come to your rescue, Mom.
All right.
Hurry up and meet Hyogyong, then.
And go back home before your in-laws get back.
Okay.
You look so fancy...
Junso is at my place right now.
Why?
Grandmother wanted him at the house.
Is your chauffeur here to drive you?
Yes.
Don't say anything too harsh.
If your brother finds out, he'll lose his mind.
Don't worry.
It's not like I don't know Hyogyong.
I trust you to do this for me.
Just make sure you eat something.
Okay.
Why is it so cold in here?
I lowered the temperature since it's daytime.
Let's go into the room.
I met Sonji's mom at the cooking school yesterday.
What did she say?
Of course, she says she can't accept you.
She wants me to break up with him?
I'll be back in about an hour.
Okay.
You have to brace yourself for what's about to come.
Sonji will find out in no time,
and she's not going to just sit back and watch.
It's obvious how she's going to react.
I'd feel better if she came here and yelled at me.
You're not making any sense.
Just let Songjun do all the work, and you stay out of it.
But think about what Songjun will have to go through...
Well, there's nothing he can do about it.
Love is all about being in difficult situations.
Only a handful of people fall in love easily with no obstacles.
If this drags on for months, I don't think I can take it anymore.
I'd feel too sorry for Songjun.
I told you to stop feeling so discouraged.
You can't even buy love.
This isn't your fault.
You don't need to feel guilty.
He confessed his love for you first.
I need to talk to you now.
Can we talk here?
Don't say anything in the car.
Since Chauffeur Kim is in there.
Don't worry.
What should I do?
Sonji can't beat me.
Hey, Baek Ya.
How can you do this to me?
Of all people, you?
I'm sorry.
Sorry, and what?
How can you betray me and my mom like this?
Your brother wanted me to help him.
Don't use him as an excuse.
I heard what you said to her.
This is why people say you can never trust anyone.
We've been friends for over 15 years.
I was a good friend to you for 15 years.
I never had any secrets from you,
and I even told things I couldn't tell my mom.
The same goes for me.
And?
And yet you do this to me?
I feel so bad for my sister-in-law.
So you feel sorry for her, but not for my mom?
What's most important is how they feel about each other.
After Dad passed away,
my mom lived and died for my brother!
He was her everything. I was just a bonus to her.
She made him successful after all kinds of hardship.
And all she ever wants now is for him to marry someone decent.
Think about it from my mom's point of view.
Marriages should take place between similar people.
She should marry another widow.
You can't control men once they're in love.
You have to make her disappear.
Well, he'll find her.
She doesn't have to register her new address.
My mom has her trust in you,
thinking you'll persuade her to break up with him.
But you were egging her on instead!
You want her to brace herself?
You want my brother to do all the work?
Do you even hear yourself?
Baek Ya, is this the best you can do? Is it?
Put yourself in my shoes...
It's not like she seduced him.
Songjun is the one who's crazy in love with her.
All I can do is wish for them to live happily together.
Then, what about my mom?
Your mom can't be responsible for his life.
Just as you have your own life, he has his own.
Talk to your brother.
He said he's thought over and over about this.
So, instead of stopping them, you're encouraging them?
We should just stay out of this.
I can't do that.
He's the only brother I have.
I guess this is the end between us.
This is why people say it's no use helping other people.
She had nowhere to go, so I persuaded my mom...
to have her stay at his art studio with Junso.
And this is what we get in return?
I'm going to stop this wedding at all costs, so don't amuse yourself!
I'm sure Hyogyong will end it if we continue to oppose it.
She's not as cunning as you are.
The world is a different place now.
Plenty of single men marry divorcees.
Don't try to persuade me!
You have no conscience.
You're betraying us after all we've done.
I'm so disappointed in you.
I think you may have pushed her into my brother's art studio...
with this plan in mind all along.
Tell me if I'm wrong!
You and I are no longer friends.
I'm sorry.
Leave.
Yaya.
Did you fight with Yaya?
This isn't her fault.
It's your brother's fault.
Did you blame her for everything?
I have to go now.
Okay.
Yaya didn't talk to Hyogyong yet?
Later, Mom.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay.
Hello, Hwaom?
What do you think?
Don't you feel all energetic?
I think so.
But why do you sound so weak?
I'm at Songjun's art studio.
Oh.
Let's talk later.
Okay.
What happened?
Hyogyong, it's too late to turn back now.
Sonji is going to oppose this.
Are you going to be weak about it?
I'll try to hang in there.
You'll have to do more than just try.
His family will oppose this until the end.
As long as you two break up, they'll be happy.
Whether Songjun lives all alone and lonely,
all they want is you out.
The person you need to hold hands with in this tough world...
is not your sister or your mom's.
When things get tough, just think of Junso or Songjun.
You need to toughen yourself up.
That's what you need to do.
Let me say this again.
That's what you need to do.
If your mom marries my brother,
will I become your aunt?
Well, that'll never happen.
Go back to your mom.
They're home.
- You're home. - Yeah.
The yellow dust was everywhere today.
I know.
Everyone was wearing a mask on the streets.
I went out today and stopped by my brother's art studio.
Oh, really?
I want pictures that aren't photoshopped.
The pictures look so different from real people.
Okay.
Don't you eat instant noodles at home, too?
Yeah.
Triangle rice rolls are pretty good, too.
You want to have some rice rolls?
Is Baek Ya here?
Yes, she came awhile ago.
Did she mention Episode 2?
Should I ask her?
No, don't. I don't want to pressure her.
I want to work here today.
Should I get some rice cakes from downstairs?
Using me as an excuse?
They are always getting rice cakes as gifts.
Rice cakes and Korean cookies.
And some taffy.
Oh, I guess no taffy.
He doesn't want us in the kitchen until he's ready.
I wonder what he's preparing.
I bet it's not a meal since he's using potatoes and squashes.
Maybe vegetable pancakes? With potatoes?
He'd need more vegetables for that.
Or squash pancakes?
Well, whatever it is, tell him to hurry. I'm starving.
Didn't your secretaries give you any snacks?
I didn't eat them, so that I could eat at home.
Would you like some nuts, Father?
No, thanks.
I heard from your mother.
Are you that in love with her?
Yes.
So she has no parents?
No.
I'm sure you want to marry her because you're in love.
Or maybe you just grew to like her?
Growing to like her and this are different.
You may regret this later.
Even with a woman who had your children,
you could get tired after a couple of years.
That's how men are.
Well, not all men are the same.
You're the eldest child your mother has.
She has such high expectations of you.
Don't rush into things and give it more thought.
You can't rush into things.
It could end as just a fling.
Yes, it could,
but even love that lasts forever starts out as a fling.
You don't have any conflicts?
No.
Let's drink.
What about her son?
Once kids hit puberty,
even their birth parents find it hard to tolerate them.
Junso is very cute and loveable.
All babies are cute.
He's different from other babies.
I've seen many babies before.
Actually, I didn't really like babies before.
But Junso is so cute and I adore him already.
That may be true now,
but people change their minds all the time.
Well, isn't the ultimate reason for people to get married is to be happy?
Who would get married to be unhappy?
Backgrounds may be important for some people.
But since we're in love, it doesn't concern us.
He's just impossible right now.
Please persuade my mother for me.
What's her personality like?
She's so beautiful.
Not her looks, her personality.
Yes.
Her personality is so pure and wonderful.
He wants you to come in now.
What was he cooking in there, anyway?
What is this?
Ta-da!
It's dough flake soup!
Yes.
We're going to have a family dough flake competition.
Me, too?
Of course.
How can I do that?
Well, you have hands, don't you?
Just try it.
It's fun, as a family...
This should be fun to watch.
Do you know how to do it?
Of course, he doesn't.
The soup is boiling. Turn down the heat.
Okay, let's start.
Did you all wash your hands?
Here you go.
We need a prize for the competition.
What would you like?
What do you need?
We don't need anything.
It will be more fun.
Mom and Grandmother can't compete,
But the person who makes the thinnest dough flakes...
gets to appear in my drama.
You'll appear as somebody on the street.
I should at least appear as someone in a cafe.
Fine, then.
If you win, Dad, you'll be man 2 in a cafe scene.
Man 1 will show the face, and man 2 will show the back of the head.
Are you joking?
I'm serious.
Whether it's just a person on a street or not,
make sure I come out on TV.
- Sure. - Me, too.
If one of the couples wins the competition,
the winner's spouse gets to appear on the drama, too.
Deal!
Okay, let's do it.
Come on.
Let's start all at the same time.
Grandma, you be the judge.
Okay.
Good.
Okay, start!
Gosh, why is this so sticky?
Grandma, you know how to film with phones, right?
Yeah, I learned how to do it.
Film me, please.
Okay.
Just press here.
Make it thin.
Oh, that's a good trick.
Give me the water.
Misoon, give me some water.
Okay.
Why do you want to film this?
To watch it every once in a while.
It's a good memory.
Where did you learn to do this?
From Yaya.
Where?
At a restaurant.
You must see her often.
She's now an assistant writer for my drama.
Yaya is?
Yeah.
Yaya is supplementing Samhee's writing.
She makes the writing so much better.
This is easy.
Let's do it! Come on!
Sweetie, hurry up.
Fried rice?
Yeah.
Are you busy right now?
No.
Hello?
Go ahead and speak.
Can I make some changes to the scenes?
Where are you right now?
At the office.
I'm at the office, too.
Let's meet and talk.
