[Episode 116]
Where is Yaya?
She went to a wedding of a reporter.
I heard from Mother.
Well, I'm your original mother-in-law.
Did you say you wanted to raise Junso for us?
Yeah.
I thought it'd be good for you and for everyone else.
I don't think that makes sense.
How can I live without Junso?
It's not a stranger's house. It's his aunt's house.
Yaya will raise him well. He's her brother's son.
It's not like Yaya stays home all day. She works.
She works but aren't you curious why I offered?
It's because I'm so proud of Yaya.
She came into our house even when Nadan was gone...
and she's been so good to us. It's not an easy thing to do.
I know that.
Every good deed should always be repaid.
We wanted to do something in return for her.
Thank you, but I'm sure Yaya wouldn't want to take Junso for Junso's sake.
Think about it from your mother-in-law's point of view.
She accepted us and doesn't say much.
Even though she doesn't say much, do you think she really loves Junso?
Does she adore Junso?
Have you heard of unloving eyes? Unloving eyes.
It means giving someone unappreciated stares.
Does Sonji's mom take care of Junso with love?
With loving eyes?
When you're not around, the baby might get unloving eyes.
She might say things to criticize him.
After thinking about all of these things,
I thought it'd be better for us to raise him.
It's not a total stranger's house, you know.
I heard Junso really likes his aunt, too.
You never know what people are thinking.
Even looking at my own self, there are also bad sides to me.
People's minds change constantly.
I know Artist Yuk Sonjong likes Junso a lot right now...
but what about when you have your second baby?
Junso won't be his priority.
Men care about their own bloodline a lot.
Even for moms, they usually end up loving the youngest child the most.
When you have a baby, your priority will be the youngest one.
Children are quick with these things, so they get jealous and stressed.
That's why children get separation anxiety.
It'd be better to have him at our home than that, right?
Who would take care of him?
Yaya can take over the gallery and I can stay at home.
Also a nice nanny can help.
I heard if we find a Filipino nanny, the child will learn English well.
That'd be great.
Think about it carefully.
I've never lived my life to harm anyone else's life.
And nothing will go wrong if you listen to me.
You can visit once a week, or even everyday to see Junso.
I'm sure you know...
but even though I didn't give birth to my son and Jia, I gave my all to them.
You've heard of the empty nest syndrome, right?
My son is no longer with us, and Jia is busy with her acting career...
I've been feeling empty without anyone to take care of.
Then I saw Junso yesterday and he was so cute.
He drew my heart to him.
Junso sleeps in the same bed as you, right?
Yes.
I wouldn't like that even if I were Sonjong.
Junso is getting big.
What if you have a baby and Junso has to sleep by himself?
It's not like Sonji's mom is going to sleep next to Junso.
I'm not forcing you.
This is just a suggestion.
We have Jia, too.
Junso will also have an older sister.
Jia loves babies.
Is Sonji's mom taking care of Junso right now?
No.
I have a friend who lives nearby.
You should've brought him.
Did you have class today?
No.
I just wanted to organize some things.
Why are you still here? It's Saturday.
No one but the maid is home anyway.
Do you know of any good acupuncture places?
Why? Are you not feeling well?
My eye keeps shaking, my eyelid.
That's the sign of a possible stroke, a beginning sign.
You'll be okay after getting moxa treatment several times.
I was going to get acupuncture.
It'll be healed if you get moxa treatment for about a week.
Why would you want to get acupuncture? It's scary.
Actually, I remember my dad getting moxa before.
It's simple to do.
You have moxa at home?
Yes.
If you get moxa you won't have to see the doctor so much.
Do it for me.
Yeah.
Have they gone to the market?
Maybe to the studio?
Can I have some water?
Okay.
I like cold water.
Cold water isn't good for you.
Especially when getting moxa, you shouldn't drink cold water.
Even though it's orthopedics, I was trained in western medicine.
If my hospital staff finds out about this...
My friend's husband is an internal medicine doctor...
but he still gets herbal medicine.
Our ancestors used acupuncture and moxa to heal people.
Are you looking down on our ancestor's wisdom?
I was just saying...
I'm sure you'd want to do it again afterwards because it feels good.
Isn't it hot?
No, it's not.
This isn't direct moxa. It won't even leave any marks.
It'll just be warm.
There's nothing you can't do, Dallan.
There's a saying...
To raise children, you have to be half doctor, half shaman.
It's the same as at work and at home.
You know if you have a dumb boss, his staff ends up suffering?
Right. You'll work hard and suffer, but won't get any results.
Similar to that, if a mom is wise, then the family can be comfortable.
My eyelid was shaking when Sonji was causing trouble before,
but after getting moxa, everything got better.
Lift up your sleeves.
Right here. Right here.
This is the acupuncture point.
You look like a Chinese medicine doctor.
Your left arm now.
Right here.
Okay.
Your clothes might smell like moxa.
It doesn't matter.
Moxa can even fix rhinitis.
Really?
I have a bit of rhinitis symptoms these days.
You can do this at home, right? I'll tell you the places to do it.
It's not that hard to do.
Even a child could do it!
Who are you thinking of as the director?
Not sure.
You didn't have any trouble with Director Kang, right?
No.
Then just work with him.
When will you be done with the interviews?
I don't have much to interview since it's about the court.
I think you'll have at least ten episodes by May.
You should try writing yourself.
You can have ten drafts and begin revising and upgrading.
When will it be on air?
In October.
That's tight. We didn't even start casting.
You can cast in just about two to three months.
Let's see. April, May, June...
If we prepare from August, then we can begin shooting in September.
I think this building brings us good luck.
Do you believe in such things?
I believe in feelings.
Like people's impressions.
My dad got into this drama and...
Why are you so busy?
I wanted to do a preparation meeting.
You should've told me earlier.
Do I just need to sign it?
Yes.
Why's it so cheap?
I can't sell it to you at a profit.
You can charge me the same price. The same price you got from Oh Soowon.
You're buying an art piece?
Yes.
Which one?
Kim Yuhan's work.
His art is expensive.
I think the cheap ones are 50 million won.
Isn't that right?
It's not like we're losing any profit...
I don't want to say it again.
You're hanging it at home?
Yes.
You think I'd get it as a gift?
What's gotten into you?
I want to develop my cultural side from now on.
I thought you had no interest in art.
That's not true.
Because I didn't have the money to buy grapes,
I just thought to myself that grapes are probably sour.
It hasn't been long since I've gathered some money to spare.
Flowers?
They're not sent by anyone, right?
They're sent by someone.
Were you meeting new guys while I was gone?
Male artists?
They're for Mother, from Artist Yoon Hwayoung.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes. Don't ask. It's a secret.
You're asking me to ask you.
I want to go with you.
That's impossible.
I want to go even more.
Where to? The sauna?
The Korean dry sauna.
Why can't I go?
Women's changing room!
Are you meeting friends? I'll pay for you guys.
I meet Hyogyong when I'm not busy on Saturdays.
Junso should be coming too, right?
Yes.
Good. I want to go! You'll let me come, right?
Have you even been to a Korean dry sauna?
No.
I've seen them on TV...
Then?
I'm sure you won't like it there. There will be all sorts of people.
Am I any special?
I've just never been there since I was busy living my life.
I think even the highest point of the Himalayas will be warm if I'm with you.
I can carry you instead of my bag on the way to Santiago.
Your talking skills are getting fancier by the day.
Do you mean that?
The way a person talks shows that person's character.
I think my mind becomes fancier by the day.
Before, it was just grey if I had to describe it as a color.
It wasn't that bad.
I didn't enjoy my life before I met you again.
All I cared about was work.
Put it here.
Let me get a haircut and come right back.
Why are you coming back? Just go home.
We're not going to eat?
We're going to a Korean dry sauna.
Korean dry sauna?
I'll join you, too. It's been a while.
We're meeting Junso's family.
See you on Monday.
Yeah.
Where do you get your haircut?
Just at a place nearby.
Men's haircuts are the same everywhere.
Namju's name, please.
You're changing it?
I don't feel it.
I'll think about it.
Anyway, I'll be at the office so call me.
We can have dinner at my place.
You haven't seen Da Jin Jung Sung yet, right?
No.
They're amazing.
Do they all look alike?
Yeah.
No one can tell the difference but their mom.
You don't like it here, huh?
I like it. There's so much food, too.
There's no place like Korea in the world.
I think that's why there are more foreigners living here now.
It's a great place to live.
Yeah.
What time are you supposed to meet her?
Usually around 6.
That!
How do you do that?
I've always been really curious.
It's easy.
Let me do it.
Do you want some rice punch?
No, later.
When are you moving out?
From that house?
You haven't thought about it?
I don't feel confident.
About what? I'm here.
What if your family finds out?
Who cares?
It's better than their son getting old as a single man.
Well, the person is me.
A child can't please their parents forever.
I don't want them to not like me.
I don't want to disappoint them.
It's different for me than you.
The ending is the important part. We just need to make a happy ending.
I'll make it a happy ending for sure.
Don't you know me? You don't trust me?
I do.
Then just trust me and follow me.
Yeah?
I'll think about it.
How much longer?
I told you to think about it while I was in the U.S.
It's never good to think too much. You'll get bad thoughts.
It's my specialty to think and decide.
Junso!
Did you have a good trip?
Yes.
Junso, don't you remember me?
You remember Mr. Hwaom, right?
Call me Uncle, so that I can really become your uncle.
I was going to leave something for you.
Aren't you curious as to what it is?
No.
Well, still look.
As a courtesy to someone who's paying tribute.
Do you know what tribute means?
I thought it's only been three years since you moved back to Korea.
Everyone uses it these days.
I ate your instant noodles yesterday.
That's what I thought.
Why didn't you call me then?
Why would I do that?
“Why did you eat something that's not yours?”
It's just instant noodles.
You think instant noodles are nothing?
A person can survive on instant noodles when he's starving.
Yes.
I'll have some and try hard to survive.
And thank you.
For the main character, Attorney Seo.
You wrote the character while thinking of me, right?
Thinking of you?
I'm right, though.
You're wrong.
Then, who?
We'll have an audition.
I'm going to look for a new face.
I...
I'm a new face.
I want a newer face that no one knows.
I'm perfect for it. I can do it well.
Someone who'll be really good...
Yes?
Won't say things with their own mouth.
Who else can I talk to as an actress other than to the writer?
I'm sure I have to ask for what I want to receive what I want.
This is the right expression for a situation like this.
You're done, right?
You want me to leave again?
What are you going to do if you stay?
Buy me dinner.
A writer should buy a meal when the drama is over.
To encourage the actors!
I already sent the meal fee for the staffs.
That money was for the entire staff.
I was going to do it properly anyway.
Now that Producer Jang is back, I will.
My friend said this once.
You shouldn't be overly protective of yourself since we'll all die one day.
What's she doing?
What does she want to do with me?
What do you mean?
What's so hard about buying a meal for a hungry, poor girl?
You have nothing to lose.
You're not making any sense.
I know. I'm just hungry.
You should eat this then.
Is this what I'm worth to you?
But you bought it.
It was for you.
It was to pay back for what I ate.
What do you feel like eating again?
Chili rice cakes that will make your eyes pop out?
Can you please forget about that? I never say such things.
Your face is already known to the public.
Don't have your photos taken and put up on social media.
Just have instant noodles or go home.
Okay.
Is your manager waiting outside?
He went to do something.
I thought she might be right when she mentioned separation anxiety.
She sounds so convincing, right?
Yes.
She's such a nice person now that I know her.
Who would do such a thing?
Even a real grandmother doesn't want to take care...
of her own grandchildren these days.
This is all because you've done such good things for them.
Can you live away from Junso?
I don't think I can, but if it was for Junso...
My mother-in-law never held Junso in her arms once.
When I need to buy lots of things, I can't take Junso with me.
These things concern me as a matter of fact.
Well, think about it first.
There's always a way if we look for one.
Okay.
Look at what Junso is wearing.
So cute.
Who's over there?
You're so cute.
Let me take a look at my son.
You don't look too good.
He looks the same to me.
My eyes are more accurate.
Okay.
Why did you come home so late after returning from the U.S.?
I'm sure he met some people.
You should've sent your luggage with the driver.
Why were you out like that?
It was Yaya's car.
Yaya went to get you at the airport?
Yes.
Without even letting us know?
I thought Grandma was home.
I didn't want her to stay up waiting for me.
You should start preparing for the drama right away.
It should be aired in the fall.
Okay.
I met Samhee for that as well.
All the production companies are fighting over Samhee.
There's nothing he isn't good at. With his studies, and now with his writing.
He's good at everything.
He was able to succeed on his own.
I heard when that while shooting Moon and Flower,
the female staff was more into him than the main character.
Really?
He's dandy like that.
Is he that attractive?
He can be.
Not as attractive as me.
What makes him attractive in your eyes?
I don't know.
I'm sure there's something that appeals to the girls.
Aren't you on a diet?
Is it okay for you eat this?
One or two meals are okay.
Hello?
This is Hwaom's mother.
Hello. How are you?
What are you doing?
I'm having dinner. Instant noodles.
You should've stopped by.
I will, to meet the quadruplets.
Stop by our house when Hwaom isn't here.
I have a few things to discuss with you.
Okay. I'll call you beforehand.
Okay.
Talk to you later.
Bye.
Is it good?
Yes, it's so delicious.
I can have one more.
But I shouldn't.
Don't you look at comments over the Internet?
I do.
It was crazy.
You mean negative comments?
Don't you care?
Nothing will change even though I care.
I lose if I get upset over those things.
Are you trying hard so that you won't lose?
No. I try to enjoy it.
They're showing interest. Even the negative comments.
So don't worry about a thing and cast me as Seo Jangmi.
Please?
You know, I'm not the nicest person.
I tend to act the opposite when someone keeps asking for a favor.
What are you doing here, rising star?
What are you doing here, rising assistant director?
I was passing by and I smelled noodles.
Mother.
Yeah?
Honestly, isn't Junso so cute?
I disappointed you but Junso hasn't done anything wrong.
What are you trying to say?
You've never even held him.
Isn't it time for you to accept him by now?
You two aren't legally married yet.
I'd love Junso more if Hyogyong was just Yaya's sister-in-law.
Even a stranger's baby is adorable in my eyes.
That's what I mean.
Do you think everything is okay just because I don't say anything?
I get angry dozens of times a day.
Just because I don't hold him and adore him, you say this?
I'd love him more if he wasn't my step grandson.
It must be hard for you but please try to change how you feel.
Didn't you get married because you couldn't change how you felt?
If everyone could just change their minds so easily,
then what would be the problem?
I think you two aren't meant to be since she's not pregnant yet.
I might be the problem.
Did you get yourself checked?
No.
Hyogyong doesn't have a problem for sure.
Don't say things like that.
Maybe the gods want us to have a baby when Junso is a bit older.
You'll see.
Only we know how our marriage really is.
We'll have a happy life together for sure.
Don't be too sure about that.
Why aren't you opening these?
Who is it for?
It's Junso's clothes and toys.
When are you going to give them to him?
When he leaves the studio.
You're really serious about bringing him here?
You think I'd joke about such a thing?
How much is the art that Samhee is trying to buy?
One big bill.
Hundred million won?
That's why I shouldn't charge him full price.
You mean the writer for Moon and Flower?
Yes.
Does a writer have the money to buy such expensive art?
I'll tell you more in detail later.
He made money doing something else before.
See you tonight.
That feels good.
What are you doing?
Giving myself some moxa.
You know how to do that?
It's simple.
Why moxa, all of a sudden? What's bothering you?
My eyelid was shaking but with one moxa treatment yesterday, it was better.
You should get yourself checked properly at a hospital.
These simple symptoms won't even come up on those tests.
You're a western medical doctor!
It smells so bad!
I like the smell of mugwort.
What do you mean? I can't take it.
Go in the room, then.
The smell is getting inside the house with the smog.
The windows are opened.
The smell will remain in the whole house.
Who does such things at home?
The smell will penetrate into fabrics. The wall and ceiling will be blackened.
Are fabric and wallpaper more important than my health?
Go do it at a Chinese medical clinic.
That'll take too long going back and forth.
They're not even open on Sunday.
Well, this isn't right. You're an orthodontics doctor.
Right?
Ouch, that's hot.
How come I can't even get moxa in my own house?
Why is he acting like an old man? Getting moxa at home?
It smells in here, too.
What's with you?
Visiting me all the way here in Ilsan.
Did you wake up late?
I fell asleep in the early morning.
It's not good to live like an owl. Think about your health.
At least I don't smoke.
That counts for something.
You have a special course meal, right?
Yes.
We'll have two.
Any drinks or soda?
Let's have some sake.
Did you have business at Ilsan Center?
No.
Then?
Are you here to buy me a meal?
So that I can start writing again?
Do you like Yaya?
