[Episode 106]
How did it go?
Can we get ready in about ten days for the wedding?
Can you get your wedding gown before then?
What do you think about March 14? It's a Saturday.
I'll sleep on the second floor until we get married.
Did you get kicked out of the house?
No, this is the only way for me to feel relieved.
Hyogyong, I love you with all of my heart.
Here.
What time do you usually go to sleep?
Between midnight to two in the morning.
Let's go to Jeju Island.
We can have a planning meeting there.
Who will be going?
Me, the director, the writer, and Bansok.
I'm not sure about the director since he's always so busy.
You'll come to Jeju, right?
It'll make you feel better.
The rape flowers are starting to blossom.
Jia would want to come, too.
She can come along.
Why don't you appear in the drama in a minor role?
You want to give me a role?
Yes.
You're pretty good at acting, I realized.
You had me fooled before.
I thought you were completely sucked in...
by Yoo Raeka like all the other guys.
Sucked in by her?
Well, that's how it looked.
She would've thrown herself at you if you led her on.
Sangwoo is probably preoccupied with her already.
Are you upset about that?
Gosh, I'm so happy.
You're being jealous right now, aren't you?
But isn't she gorgeous?
Even in my eyes, she looked really attractive.
I only view her as an actress, that's all.
And you don't view me as a younger sister?
You're a little girl.
A pretty little girl.
You were upset with me, weren't you?
Not upset, but I was more disappointed.
I thought you were no different from all the other guys.
Well, I know myself well.
And I know I'll never disappoint you.
Well, once was enough for me.
When did you disappoint me before?
When I first realized I loved you, I was contemplating things.
I was afraid of letting my parents and grandma down.
I guess I was comparing your background to mine.
And that's why I'm being punished like this now.
Actually, my heart aches a lot, just as much as yours.
I feel very sorry for Jo Nadan, too.
Whenever I eat something like this,
I think I'll always be reminded of him.
Jo Nadan.
I'll be good to you for the rest of my life.
Because you feel guilty?
No.
I want to live my life for you.
Please don't do that.
You're doing more than enough for me already.
I was really touched by you yesterday.
It was your birthday, but I was the one who was happy.
I wonder why people kiss.
Having your arm linked to my arm made me happy enough.
Am I still your Daddy Long Legs?
Nope.
"Brother."
You mean, "Brother" Long Legs?
Yeah.
That makes no sense!
You should go now.
Yeah.
Are we on for Jeju Island?
Yeah.
Your brother will get married, no matter what.
Should we buy a puppy for your mother?
She'll be so lonely with everyone gone.
Pets are supposed to be better than people sometimes.
Mom doesn't like any furry pets.
But puppies are just adorable.
And they're very smart, too.
They're so good to their owners.
Seeing how my brother was,
I want to have a daughter, not a son.
We have to have a daughter, no matter what.
That way we won't be lonely when we're old.
You're right.
Sons are all useless. At least to their parents.
How about as husbands?
They're the best as husbands.
Am I useless as your husband?
You're good now, but who knows how you'll change later?
I told you that I'll be good to you.
I'm going to be faithful to you for the rest of my life.
Do you swear on that?
I do!
I'm thirsty.
Yes, ma'am!
I'll bring you water at your command!
No, it's okay.
It's midnight. Time for me to transform.
I'm ready to transform. I've transformed!
I'm a wolf now!
Owww!
I have something to ask you.
Are you happy and satisfied with your marriage?
Apart from what happened to Nadan.
I am happy, but...
How can I explain this? I feel a 2% lacking in life.
That's how I feel.
What do you feel you're lacking in?
Just a feeling that my life isn't completely fulfilled.
Oh, it's past 9.
Should we go?
Want to stay longer?
No, we should go.
Wait a second.
I haven't had a man help me with my coat in the longest time.
Poor Dallan...
I've lost my son,
and she's lost her husband...
Just what did she eat? That smells awful.
Where do you think you're going?
My wedding's going to be on March 14.
You're just going to harass me every other day anyway.
You'll really do this?
You think I like doing this without your blessing?
Please believe in me. Can't you do that?
Even if I cut ties with you?
Answer me!
I can't take this anymore.
You make the decision, Mother.
Fine, let's just see how happy you'll be!
You're not going to play golf?
Are you tired?
Not at all.
I'm getting ready to retire.
What do you mean, retire?
I heard that you have to get used to spending...
more time with your spouse before you retire.
You're thinking of retiring?
Whenever Hwaom is ready, I want to retire.
When will that be?
5-6 years later at the earliest, I think.
Or 10 years later at the latest.
Are you taking a day off today?
I'm working later in the afternoon.
I have something to say to you.
You scare me every time you say that.
You have nothing to be scared of.
What is it?
I want to get a place of my own.
I told you "no" already.
I feel bad to Sonji.
Why would you feel bad to her?
You're hardly ever home.
Yeah, but still.
People move out of home when they reach 20 in other countries.
Anyway, I oppose it.
Me, too.
Where do you want to move to?
Our place in Samsung-dong?
That house is too big.
There's a good-sized studio in Seocho-dong.
This year, I want to only focus on my drama
and take a year off from all other work.
And?
Well, Director Kim can take over my work.
He's good at what he does.
Let me take a year or two off and I'll work hard for 30 years.
Well, I won't be completely taking time off from work, either.
Your phone is ringing in the room.
Okay.
I just can't believe what he's doing.
So, he'll live with her before marrying her?
Yes, that's exactly what he's doing.
Although he's my son, I can't stand him anymore.
Tell him you won't attend the wedding.
He'll still go through with it.
He'll do it even if nobody else is present.
Mom, if the worst happens,
just look at me and be happy.
All right.
At least he's not dead like Yongjun or Nadan.
Gosh, how embarrassing this is!
What will my in-laws and my friends say?
Your in-laws like Hyogyong, so everything will be okay.
Don't look upset in front of your in-laws over this.
And don't keep on bringing this up with your husband, either.
I won't.
A home has to be a place where you rest.
If a home isn't comfortable, men start to wander outside.
Hyogyong is going to try to persuade you, Mom.
Don't let her fool you!
You think I'm stupid to be fooled by her?
I can't stand the sight of her!
How can she do this to us, after all we've done?
I'm disappointed in Yaya, too!
She should've stopped her at all costs!
I know what you mean. I really feel betrayed, too.
I'm scared of trusting people now.
Try to make a deal with him after hanging in there as long as you can.
Yaya lives in Seocho-dong, doesn't she?
Yes.
Then, this is a no-brainer.
He wants to live close to her and keep on meeting her often.
I think that's exactly what he's trying to do.
He's doing less work so that he can spend more time with her.
Send him off to a different office.
That'll do no good.
He has his own money from his grandfather.
He has nothing to lose.
Even if we come out strong, there's no point.
You're usually smart about things.
Well, women are better at these things.
He's always done everything he put his mind to.
He didn't give up on Yaya.
Even if I were Yaya, if Hwaom didn't change his mind
and was nice to her, I'd fall for him, too.
I know what you mean.
He won't listen to us. Maybe he'll listen to Yaya.
Hyogyong!
I'm going to meet my friends to discuss some things.
I might be late.
How dare she come here?
She stole my precious son from me.
You stand there as long as you want, even if it's for hours!
Sorry.
I thought you were Hwaom.
Why?
You usually dress casually.
I saw a suit hanging there.
Are you here to work?
Yes.
I had to take care of some documents.
What about you?
Why don't you sit down and talk?
I came in just in case...
I wanted to go to a nice restaurant with you.
I couldn't write Eedam and Min Deulae's restaurant scene.
I thought I could write better after eating.
I wanted to eat with you if you were in.
If not, I was going to call Bansok to eat with me.
Do you have to be somewhere?
No.
Did you go to a wedding?
I didn't want to embarrass you with my usual self.
Have you been to Salon Rose?
No.
I'm not sure if they have a table since it's the weekend.
I'll have your order ready for you.
Hwaom didn't call you?
No.
He wanted to go to Jeju or the planning meeting.
The preparation is already done, so what's the point?
It's just to take a break.
It'd be nice to see the rape flowers.
It's good to have the owner's son working with us.
He treats us to an expensive trip to Jeju.
I usually don't like the bourgeoisie.
But it's ironic in that I want to come to restaurants like this
to eat expensive steak once in a while.
I was craving meat since I was working hard.
We don't need to hate all the bourgeoisie.
It's not like all proletarians are innocent and weak.
You're right about that.
There're wealthy families like Hwaom's family.
They sure are.
I didn't like Jia too much at first...
but the more I spend time with her, she's innocent and nice.
There's no reason for me not to like her.
We shouldn't criticize the wealthy for spending money
but we should encourage them.
That'll make our economy more vibrant.
People can have better lives...
when there's more healthy spending.
I'm a bit twisted inside.
I know that.
There's nobody that's perfect.
I say these things,
but I'm sure you'd be shocked to know the real me.
Do you have a spotty record?
Yes.
Do you mean that?
I might not be guilty of the law,
but I'm sure the gods won't be happy with who I am.
I'm curious now, as a writer.
My family background...
I'm a mess, if you think about it.
I was never nice to my sister-in-law.
I was never nice to my sister either.
I really should change how I am.
You have no parents, right?
No.
Did you watch the movie, Kingsman?
No.
I usually don't watch movies when I write.
Once I start, I watch them nonstop and I can't really concentrate.
I heard it's good.
I didn't watch it yet.
Do you have any old movies that you'd like to watch again?
I watched this when I was in middle school: ‘Dalma, Let's Play.'
It was really good.
Did you watch it?
No.
You should watch it. The writing is really good.
You watched ‘The Bucket List' and ‘Avatar,' right?
Was it the year before?
I watched it on IPTV.
Why?
Movies like Avatar, you should watch in the theater.
I didn't have the money back then.
I really wanted to watch it, but I just couldn't.
I couldn't ask my friends all the time either.
If they paid for the movie, then I'd have to buy them spicy rice cakes.
I watched it on TV. It was fun and impressive.
I think Director James Cameron is a genius.
I'll watch Avatar 2 in the theater next year.
I grew up just as poor and hungry as you did.
But when I think back, there were more times when I was hungry,
more movies that I wanted to watch, and more books that I wanted to buy.
I miss those times.
I want to go back to those times.
My brother was always with me back then.
People say when a family member dies, and after some time passes,
you can think about them without any pain.
But not with my brother.
He was more than a parent to me.
I think I'll always shed tears
and feel emotional pain
when I think of him.
I feel ashamed when I hear about your life.
I guess I lived a more comfortable life than you.
My sister made sure I always got my allowance.
I watched all the movies I wanted
and bought all the books I needed.
I still got mad at her once in a while.
There are many people who are much less fortunate than I am.
At least I had a brother.
About Jo Jia...
I don't think she reminds me of my mom anymore.
Have you seen her lately?
I saw her once at my sister's wedding.
She came to the wedding?
No.
My sister is ten years older than me.
When she graduated from college and became a school teacher,
my mom left us for good.
She stopped by once or twice a week in the beginning.
It's someone my mom knew before she was remarried.
He was single?
No, he was divorced.
When my sister was getting married, we were short on money.
So I went to her and asked for help.
But she rejected me right away.
It's not like she and her husband were poor.
Her new husband also had some inheritance from his parents.
She was worried that we'd come back for more if she helped us once.
She even told me to never come back.
I don't think her family will call me even if she passes away,
but I don't ever want to see her either.
I understand how you must've felt.
Isn't reality even more twisted than dramas?
Oh, gosh! Oh, goodness!
I almost had a heart attack!
You were still standing out there?
Yes.
Can I get a glass of water?
Should I go get it myself?
I know what you want to say, but I don't want to hear it.
You can hate me, but please don't hate Sonjong.
He's a good son.
A good son?
A good son betrays his mother and makes her faint?
He'll be that much better to you from now on.
I don't need to hear this. I don't want to talk to you.
Leave!
We've set the date for March 14.
Please come to the wedding.
Why should I do as you say?
You two don't listen to me, so why should I listen to you?
I have no expectations of him anymore.
I don't care if you two get married or not!
Aren't you leaving?
Should I call Sonjong? To come get you?
You can stay if you want to see me fight with him.
Goodness! Oh, gosh, gosh, gosh!
Wake up. Wake up!
You two take turns in making me crazy.
Junso's mother! Wake up!
I heard you had the liver patties he brought for you.
He told me to make them for him because he had dizzy spells.
So what happened?
I sent her home in a taxi.
How dare she faint in our home?
That's what I'm saying!
She made me even angrier.
She's unbelievable!
You should stay away tomorrow from early morning.
She stood there for more than five hours today?
Yeah.
What a stubborn, tenacious girl!
If she comes back, let Sonjong know right away.
Tell him to come get her.
Okay.
I always enjoy eating with you.
I feel like everything I eat turns into something nutritious for me.
My stress disappears after eating with you.
Have a safe drive back home.
Okay.
Did you two eat together?
Yes, we watched a movie, too.
Where did you eat?
I ate at the office.
Is that why you turned off your phone?
I was working at the reference room in the office.
I turned it off because my hands were dirty.
You called?
Yes.
Let's go up.
What did you two watch?
We didn't watch a movie. We just ate.
Do you want some?
No.
I'm thirsty since I didn't eat all day until I ate with her.
Why didn't you eat all day?
I skip meals when I write.
He said he couldn't write Eedam and Min Deulae's restaurant scene.
I think I can write the scene now.
I'm leaving now.
You should work.
I should have a break before working.
You wanted to go to Jeju Island for a planning meeting?
Yeah.
When should we go?
Anytime.
I think March or April is nice there.
Should we go watch Real Game?
I have to go home.
I'm not a married woman but I'm still a daughter-in-law.
I don't want to watch that movie.
Me neither.
I'm not a fan of Keira Knightley.
Jinx!
I'm not a fan either.
You do that jinx game so much.
Her lips are weird.
I know.
I can't concentrate because of that.
She thinks her lips are attractive, though.
Her acting is natural.
You call that natural?
I can only see her lips.
You like a boyish style like her?
I don't know why she doesn't get surgery.
She's confident in herself.
She might have a nice figure, but I don't like the way she acts.
I guess you have to watch it alone.
What are you doing here?
I saw the lights on.
I went to the designer I know at Cheongdam, to discuss your dress,
but he says he'll make it for you as a wedding gift.
We can't do that.
I just need to rent it for a day.
I'll give him an art piece.
Can't you just go back home?
Why would I do that?
Do you feel uncomfortable staying with me?
No.
I don't want people getting the wrong idea, though.
I'm nervous that you might disappear, then.
I won't do that. I promise you.
Okay.
But I don't want to go back home.
I'll go to a residence hotel for about 15 days.
Are you going to end things with your mom forever?
You shouldn't do that.
She'd get sicker if she saw me.
Parents aren't like that.
You should be nicer to her, and you have to try harder.
You have to ask for her permission, even 10 or 20 more times.
Please?
Take me with you.
I already told them you'd go.
You shouldn't go.
Why?
You've been exercising so much.
There's so much to eat on Jeju Island.
Fresh sashimi, sea urchin noodles, sashimi noodles,
abalone porridge, grilled hairtail fish, and braised mackerel...
The meat noodles are delicious, too. And golfweed soup...
I'll eat just a little bit.
How can you control yourself in front of delicious food?
Controlling one's appetite is the most difficult thing to do.
You should listen to me.
You'll regret it for sure when you see your body line after you get back.
