[Episode 108]
Hello, my sweet daughter?
Mom, you know what happened today?
Did you fight with your husband?
No.
I can't believe this.
What's wrong?
Tell me.
Songjun and Junso's mom came to our house today.
To your house?
What are you doing here?
We came here to pick up Junso.
I guess you didn't talk to Yaya yet.
Yaya came by earlier and I told her already.
You must be busy with wedding preparations...
and you have to go on your honeymoon, too.
I told Yaya that you could leave him here for a couple of months.
I'm not sure if I could do that to you.
It's hard taking care of a baby.
There's nothing hard about it.
Everyone fights over who wants to hold him next.
You can stop by anytime when you miss him.
You can also see your sister, too.
Anyway, you must be busy with wedding preparations.
We don't need to buy too much stuff.
We'll be using the art studio.
What about the dress?
A designer I know will make her dress as a gift.
That's good.
Then...
Junso, you and I will be father and son.
This is a promise bracelet.
Say okay!
Wouldn't I be losing my mind, then?
I'm losing my mind just hearing about this from you.
He didn't get me a gold bracelet, not even a gold ring.
But he gets the stepson a bracelet? Even before he's married?
He's not even a bit embarrassed.
Why does he have to do this at my in-laws?
Is he back yet?
Of course not.
He must be busy preparing for the wedding!
This is why sons are of no use.
Not all sons are like him.
Only Songjun is like this because he's not in his right mind.
I think the water heater is broken.
I'll talk to you later, Mom.
Yeah.
This foolish son of mine!
I hope he didn't get her a diamond ring.
Hello.
We want to walk a little bit since we're so full.
Can you leave the keys in the mailbox?
Okay.
And my car at home, please.
Sure.
You're not too full to feel sick or anything, right?
I'm okay.
We talked a lot while eating.
Half of the food I ate is already digested.
I should skip breakfast tomorrow.
You know Writer Jung looks younger than you.
He says it's because he didn't get to eat a lot when growing up.
Right.
We made a program about that before.
I didn't get to eat enough instant food with friends...
because I didn't have the money.
Is that why I look young with no wrinkles?
Is this all just in my head?
No, it's true.
I don't think you'll look old even when you turn 40.
I should cut back on what I eat from tomorrow.
You'll feel better when you don't eat to the fullest.
Should I just have two meals a day?
That's okay, but you should never skip breakfast.
If you don't eat when you're hungry, that can damage your body, too.
My friend got divorced after just half a year.
Why?
Their lifestyles were so different.
His wife slept late and woke up around 10...
and ate toast and coffee for breakfast.
But my friend grew up with a full course Korean breakfast.
He ended up signing the divorce papers because he was too hungry.
They got married without knowing these things?
They should've talked about them before.
It's hard for anyone to change their habits.
We have similar taste in foods and hobbies, too.
Even though I'm not an artist, I love art.
Sir Writer Jung's age is...
What do you mean "sir" writer? Just call him Writer Jung.
How can I? He's older than me.
At least when you're with me.
I don't want anyone calling my friend "sir."
Especially you!
Okay.
Since he was a lawyer, I'll call him Attorney Jung.
Only when I'm with you.
He might not be a kind person but there's a lot to learn from him.
The way he thinks.
You heard why he quit being a lawyer, right?
Yes.
People are attracted to people with similar mindsets.
I guess you two are close because of that.
That's right.
But you don't like him more than me, do you?
You're always the best person for me.
You're mine, too.
Don't go there now.
What do you mean?
The best people for you are your grandma, father, mother, then Muom.
Maybe I can be ranked second?
That's different.
It's a different feeling I have for my family, and for you.
I'm not sure why people kiss.
It feels so good to be just locking arms like this.
Can you stop it with that?
It's true though.
When are you going to sell your dream?
I don't feel anything from this.
Isn't it so good?
It's like your soul is melting.
It's not that good for you?
They have better shaved ice compared to other places.
I think I'll have a long life after doing 'Moon and Flower.'
People will criticize me so much.
You don't have to do it if you're not confident.
I'm just saying...
Is it always just this or that for you?
Nothing in the middle?
Nothing in the middle when it comes to work.
Lee Kangso's character...
The ice is melting and I might finish everything.
Focus on eating only when eating.
Okay.
Good night.
I'll come by at around 10.
Today...
Thanks so much for everything.
I'll be a good daughter-in-law for your mom, too.
I'm telling you once more, don't get hurt.
Our beginning might be humble, hurtful, and unfamiliar.
But our true hearts will be understood eventually.
She'll eventually understand us and accept us.
I'm ready for everything.
And I won't rush things.
We should move into your mother's home.
You can use this place as a studio.
Mother wouldn't like that idea.
She wouldn't like the fact that we just live here without her consent.
If you find a way for us to move in, I'll take care of the rest.
All right, then.
I feel like I won the lottery today.
You're going to take me home, right?
Are you a kid?
It's not only kids who get in accidents at night.
Also anyone not married can be considered a kid.
How come you're always so quiet...
and not good at expressing yourself?
Now you need to tell me how I talk?
I'm not telling you anything.
But aren't you frustrated sometimes?
Not at all!
Writers speak through their hands and are usually bad at speaking.
Let's go.
Well, about the acting...
How should my character act with a double personality?
That troubles me.
Why are you asking me?
I never asked you how to write Lee Kangso's character.
You're the one who's creating the characters.
Read the script until it's worn out and understand it.
Then, you'll be able to be Lee Kangso naturally.
I see...
It's easy to talk about it, but not easy to do.
Simply acting after reading the script a couple of times...
is different from someone becoming a character.
If you have time to ask me questions, just read the script one more time.
Okay.
I think everything you tell me is helpful.
I said I'd pay for this.
Just be a good actress for the show.
He can be quite attractive.
Sit down.
I heard that you gave Junso a bracelet.
Yes.
Did you have to openly do it at Sonji's in-laws?
Is it something to boast about to them?
Their daughter-in-law's brother is getting married to a widow!
We went to pick up Junso.
Then, they offered to watch him for a couple more months.
What about me?
You never gave me a bracelet, not even a gold ring.
You're saying your stepson, Yaya's nephew,
is more important than your mom and your sister?
I got you a lot of stuff until now.
I bought you two purses, shoes and coat from Mocci,
shoes from Sarada, diamond bracelet from Moffany, a dress from Peandni...
Did you buy Junso's mom a wedding ring?
Yes.
What did you get her?
What?
A diamond ring?
Yes.
How many carats?
From where?
From Moffany?
Yes.
How many carats?
One carat?
Two carats?
It can't be three carats.
You're right.
Three carats?
Yes.
You could buy a house with that money.
Mother, mother!
Three carats?
Yes.
I'm telling you because I don't want to lie about it.
Mother!
I didn't even get to put on a three carat ring ever!
Get out!
You fool!
Get out!
How can you buy a three carat ring in your right mind?
And it's from Moffany?
I'm home.
Hi. What is that?
Junso's clothes.
You bought it on your own?
Yes.
What about mine?
Dad, you have enough clothes.
It's different when a son buys it for me.
You said I waste money since you have enough clothes.
I was only saying that.
Okay.
What's with the bracelet?
It's a promise bracelet from Songjun to become father and son.
Junso, today is your day!
This is yours.
Jia's mom's anniversary of her death is coming up.
Are we going to have a memorial for her?
I'm sure you've never done it before.
How can I have a memorial for his deceased wife?
We'll have one tonight. You can come home later.
I should keep my word.
What's going on with Junso?
Let me at least see him once.
I want to meet him. I think about him all the time.
Huh?
I'll think about it.
Think about what?
You already made me go through enough hard times.
It's never good to be so extreme.
You should be better than me.
In every aspect.
You're more educated than me.
I acknowledge my mistakes and my wrongdoings.
Forgive me and let me meet Junso.
Do you feel comfortable cutting off the family?
I didn't cut off anything.
You're blocking things though.
Even if he doesn't have a dad, he has her grandmother.
People who committed wrongdoings feel more pain than anyone else.
I'm like that right now.
Even though I'm smiling, eating, and meeting people,
my heart aches all the time.
My heart burns and aches.
I'm not lying.
Sometimes I still can't believe you live in my house.
I feel reassured and proud.
It's different from Jia.
I'm sure about that.
Sondong, my daughter.
We don't know how much longer we'll live.
Let's make peace now.
Just like Nadan, you or I could suddenly die one day.
I might not wake up one day.
I'm sure Junso wants to be with her real grandmother, too.
Why should you let him be raised by strangers?
Why should I, you ask?
Because I know what it's like to miss someone like crazy.
I wanted to be held by my mom just for a day, just for an hour.
Do you think Junso...
will miss his grandmother if he finds out why his father died?
Junso is a boy.
Boys aren't as harsh as girls.
When are you going to forgive me?
There's a certain time for everything.
I need some time.
But Junso will grow up quickly.
Who does he look like?
He's handsome and cute.
Cute like who?
Do all women go on a diet?
All men and women working in the broadcasting industry usually do.
Eat like a king in the morning, eat like an ordinary person for lunch,
then eat like a homeless man for dinner.
Never heard that before?
No.
It's only been three years since I moved back to Korea.
So it means, since the king has enough to eat,
you should eat small portions in the morning.
Whereas the homeless person is hungry and should eat a lot quickly at night?
Am I wrong?
It's actually the opposite.
Hwaom isn't here yet?
Is he coming?
Yes.
Bansok went to buy some coffee since we were out.
Oh, I didn't know you were out since I don't drink much coffee.
You shouldn't worry about it.
I think we can be done by the end of May at this rate.
What are you going to do when you're done?
Whatever I want to do.
What is it that you want to do?
There are so many things.
I want to read some books.
I'm not going to think about it for about 15 days then start with the revisions.
The script becomes better with more revisions.
You didn't talk to Hwaom?
No.
He...
We were just talking about you.
Talking behind my back?
Hurry up, you guys make the deal.
Buy my dream.
What dream?
He had a lucky dream.
It's a lucky dream for the drama.
What you did to me...
No!
Just buy it before hearing about the dream.
Sell it to me.
Okay, it's sold.
I bought it.
What kind of dream was it?
Well, it was...
When are we going for the planning meeting?
I need to make a reservation.
Should we go this weekend?
I'm meeting some friends this weekend.
I can't miss the meeting, or they'll just cancel it.
Okay, then how about next week?
You're okay, right?
I have to help Hyogyong for the wedding.
Let's just go in the middle of this month.
Okay, then.
Let me know the spellings of your names.
What does it show as the arrival time on the navigator?
11:50.
Then, I'll get off at around 11:55.
Okay.
You're only working at the gallery? You don't draw anymore?
You should come to the corquis class with me. It's fun.
How many times a week?
Just once. They're all married except me.
Nonstop talking!
They talk about everything.
Where is Sonji, anyway?
She's not late yet.
That girl...
She doesn't even text us after she got married off to a wealthy family.
She keeps in contact with you, right?
Is she enjoying her marriage?
She's busy.
She's living with her in-laws.
It must be suffocating living with them.
It's all the same, just having three meals a day.
I usually eat six meals.
In small portions! I don't want to gain weight.
Your whole day must be filled with eating.
That happens sometimes.
It's a hassle to brush my teeth every time.
Long time no see.
What's with you?
I thought you were a Korean traditional drama actress.
My in-laws don't want me to wear short skirts.
I wanted to try a hanbok on like that.
Your in-laws will give it to you when you get married.
You look like a queen.
We look different with what we wear, right?
Today, let's not use our membership fee. The meal's on me.
Order whatever you like.
Sounds good.
Special course?
Sure.
Do you have a separate wine list?
Yes, I'll bring it for you.
We're drinking? It's still early.
How can we eat steak without wine?
I'm okay without wine!
I brought my car.
Me, too.
I'll pay you to hire a driver.
In that case, there's no reason to say no to wine.
What's happening with the wedding?
It's up to them, I don't care.
You're not going?
Of course not. They don't care about my opinion.
That's not the problem.
It's his first and last wedding.
You shouldn't ruin it for him.
Come on! That's not necessarily true.
Who knows if there's going to be a second or third time?
You got married twice, too.
People divorce when they get married too young out of impulse
or when you simply don't know any better.
But Songjun is almost 40.
That's what makes it more depressing.
A single guy with a good career falls for his assistant with a baby!
I never would've imagined something like this would happen!
That's just how life is though.
Here are some blended Chinese yams.
Thanks.
Let's say the two live happily ever after.
People live until they're 90 these days.
If you live until you're 90,
that means you still have 30 more years left.
What if you aren't healthy then?
Who's going to take care of you?
If it's not for your son and daughter-in-law,
you'd have to go to a senior center.
I can go into a senior center.
Senior centers have great facilities these days.
Even though they have great facilities, there's nothing better than family.
Even when you go to a big general hospital,
many patients in critical condition are sleeping.
Why is that?
So that the staff doesn't have to work as much,
they prescribe sleeping pills.
No way. How can they do such a thing?
My friend's mom was in the hospital to get surgery,
and every time he visited, she would be asleep.
It's the same for other patients.
He found out that they prescribed them sleeping pills.
Don't regret things later.
You can't control your own health.
If that's something you could control, then no one would get sick.
Every parent eventually listens to their kids.
Don't be too stubborn against your own child.
I'm not being stubborn. I'm just disappointed!
Just congratulate them.
But I can't congratulate them.
You should at least go to their wedding.
There's a saying.
Children are adorable only until they're 10.
Are you enjoying your marriage?
Yes.
Is Muom good to you?
It's totally different from dating.
How so?
The difference is like eating instant food versus a course meal.
You feel like you're being treated properly.
At the same time, you love each other even more.
You should experience it yourselves.
You're not uncomfortable with your in-laws?
It all depends on how you think of it.
My husband exists because they exist.
If you love your husband, you have to love and respect your in-laws, too.
So you respect and love your in-laws?
Of course, I do.
How come you two aren't talking?
Did you two argue by any chance?
I'm a bit disappointed in her.
Why?
I'm telling you since you'll find out soon.
Her sister-in-law is getting married to my brother.
Goodness!
Really?
So you two will be in-laws now?
You have such nice skin.
Thank you.
Who told you to do that?
You don't get to draw at all these days.
I think I can complete one piece a day after I get married.
I can't wait to start.
I stayed up until 4am sketching because I had some ideas.
Just leave it. You're a guy.
I'm your son though.
Who did you have lunch with?
Why do you want to know?
That must be Sonji.
Goodness, Goodness!
Goodness my daughter, my daughter, my daughter!
A queen is entering.
What's all this?
Did you have a photo shoot?
I met up with some friends.
Did you all have a party?
There was a dress code like that?
Where is Muom?
I said I just met my friends.
I stopped by to see you on my way back
and I wanted some Andong rice punch.
Oh.
I guess you were out, too.
Yeah.
Aren't you getting a necklace for Junso?
Why don't you get everything for him like a ring and even an ankle bracelet?
Along with some diamonds!
I know what you're saying.
I'll be nicer to you from now on.
Being nicer doesn't mean much.
What do you want?
Guys finally mature when they fall in love.
Who said that?
I did.
I just realized it myself.
I'm becoming more mature, I know it.
You'll see.
Where did you get that ornament pin?
What do you mean, where?
My mother-in-law got it for me when I got married.
My daughter!
