[Episode 29]
Da-yool, it's me!
Dong-joon Im, come outside! Bring out Da-yool!
Da-yool, it's Mom!
It's Mom. Open the door, Dad!
Da-yool, stay here. I'll go outside.
No! I'm going outside! Mom's here to pick me up!
Stop it Da-yool! Or I won't let you see your Mom ever again!
I hate you! Why can't I see Mom?
I'll go outside. Take Da-yool upstairs.
Hyun-ji.
You're the only one who can calm Da-yool down. Hurry.
Don't cry! Stop crying...
Come out this instant!
Where's Da-yool? Bring her out here!
Why are you looking for Da-yool?
Get out of my way!
I thought you were supposed to be her mother? What are you thinking?
How dare you barge in here like this?
Your own mother told me that she won't accept Da-yool!
My daughter doesn't deserve this from your parents!
Look here!
Bring her out this instant!
Why are you making things more difficult for her?
Did you give any thought to how this will affect her?
That's why I'm here. To end it.
I'm not putting her through this any longer.
Really? Then go inside.
Take Da-yool with you. I'll just bring her back again tomorrow.
Why are you doing this?
And then take her again tomorrow night.
I'll bring her back the day after that.
I won't get tired. I can do this all day long.
Why don't you continue to make things harder on her?
Is she your plaything? Is she an item to be passed around?
If you don't like it, then give it a rest!
Hyun-ji Park!
If you don't want her to have a nervous breakdown, give it up!
Do you want to come inside and look at her room?
Why don't you come see how much she likes it?
Who gave you permission to call your mother?
Give me my phone! It's mine!
No. You're not using this until you get into 6th grade.
Why are you crying, Da-yool?
You should have discussed it with me before you give things like this to her.
So you took it away?
She's too young. It won't do.
What's wrong with calling her mother?
It's natural. It's wrong to hold it against her.
Hyun-ji.
Your Dad is mean, huh? This is yours.
Call your mother anytime you want to speak with her.
Just make sure you tell me before you call her, okay?
Where's Mom?
She was busy, so she had to go for today.
Can I call her now?
Of course! Tell her that you're doing well.
Your dad and I will be outside, alright?
What if she calls her mother again?
She'll come back in a heartbeat!
She won't return.
Don't worry, I handled it.
If you don't want her to have a nervous breakdown, give it up!
Yea, Da-yool!
Mom, did you leave because you were busy?
Huh? Yea, sorry, Da-yool.
I had to leave because of an emergency.
How did you call me? Is anyone next to you?
Dad took away my phone, but the lady gave it back to me.
She says that it's okay for me to call you.
If I ask her, I can call you anytime.
I see. So we can talk to each other often from now on.
Yea. I'm going to call you each and every day.
Do you like your new room?
I don't know. But it is pretty.
It's good that you like it.
Yeah, we're going to meet next week.
Until then, eat well and be healthy.
I love you too.
Sweet dreams, I miss you.
Just go for tonight. I think they're exhausted.
They were uncomfortable, weren't they?
My mother brought this on herself.
Go on. I have to talk to them.
Don't be like that to your mother. It's not proper.
What if she never changes her mind? We can't live like this forever.
The wedding isn't far off. Be good to them.
Go on inside.
Da-yool, let's go.
Why did you tell that woman to take back the child?
Who do you think you are? How can you do this?
If you keep this up, I'll leave this house.
Is that alright with you?
Why you...! Cancel the wedding!
Father!
If you want to leave this home, go ahead! Get out of my house!
Honey!
Alright. That's what you've been itching to say, isn't it?
Boss, should I close the shutters?
Yea, I think we can wrap up now.
Okay then.
Wait!
Ha-eun!
You're not closed yet, are you? Can I buy something? I'll be quick.
Take your time. It's alright.
What's good today?
These beets are fresh today. You should take those.
Should I? I guess I can make white kimchi from this.
I'll give you some of the special salt to make it with.
Yes, thank you.
It's heavy. You can't carry this. I'll help you.
No. You're already late because of me.
Go back to closing up the store.
Boss, didn't you tell her that you were going to give her salt?
Oh, I did.
Why didn't you give this to her?
I'll go give it to her.
What is it? Where are you coming from?
Didn't you receive a call from Da-yool? I thought you were getting her.
Mom!
What's the matter? What happened? Ha-eun!
What's the matter? Ha-eun!
Mom... Mom!
What's the matter? What's going on?
Mom.
Da-yool... I think I have to let her go.
I wasn't thinking about Da-yool's feelings.
I never considered the pain she must be going through.
He won't listen to you? So he plans to keep her?
You're the mother. Who else can take care of her emotionally?
Am I her mother? I couldn't even protect her...
When she grows older, she'll understand what you've been through.
What are you doing?
I'm just cleaning these kimchi pots.
Kimchi pots?
Yes, these have been here since winter, so they must be cleaned.
I can use this water, right?
I don't care about that, but it's really late.
Ah, I'm almost finished here.
Please make sure you clean up after yourself.
Yes, I'll be finished soon.
Da-yool Im. July 14th, 2008.
She shows symptoms of atopic reactions.
Keep her away from instant or greasy foods, and look after her health.
She likes comfortable pants over dresses.
And she likes to take showers at night.
Please make sure her hair is completely dried before she goes to sleep.
I used to read to her before bed every night.
She usually falls asleep within 30 minutes.
Is it raining outside? Why are you wet?
I was cleaning something.
Did you wash the car? Why are you so soaking wet?
One trip to the farm will make it dirty again.
I'm going to take a shower.
Did you talk to the head honcho?
Not yet?
I did talk to her...
But? Is she hesitant?
I don't think she's confident. I think I should have eased into it.
How can you ease into it?
Just ask her to join our kimchi business!
Well, there's nothing you can do if she refuses.
We have to think of an alternative.
Can you give me a couple of days? I can't think of anyone else for the job.
Only I would wait for you again.
You don't have to attend the wedding if you don't want to.
I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do.
I'll move out as soon as I settle on a place.
There's no need for that. Bring everyone here.
Honey.
It's going to bother me either way.
I'll try to change my mind.
Why you...! So you coerced your mother!
It's not her fault. She's doing this out of the goodness of her heart.
Mother.
I was just worried that you'll suffer between that child and your own.
But seeing how insistent you are, perhaps you and that child were meant to be.
You couldn't sleep at all last night...
And all because you decided to give up against Hyun-ji?
You don't have to do this if you don't want to.
I'm fine. I feel better now that I've made up my mind.
I'm sorry.
Eat your food, and get ready for work.
I don't want to eat this. I want rice and kimchi.
I told you to make rice for Da-yool!
Send her to school. Do you have any idea how busy I am during the day?
What's so hard about making a little food?
If it's so easy, you do it!
You never lose an argument, do you?
Yea, Hyun-ji!
Try giving me a smile like that.
Huh? How... all of a sudden?
Of course I'm thankful!
Yea, alright. I'll call you when I leave.
Who did you drink with? Why did you come home so late?
I haven't seen them for so long, I couldn't just get up and leave.
So you took the 30 dollars, and spent the entire night out?
You never miss a beat, do you?
I'm popular among my peers, to a fault.
Don't you realize that's the reason why you've been scammed so many times?
How can you trade money for friends?
It may not seem it now, but friends are assets too.
Am I wrong, Ha-eun?
What are you counting? What's in the pot?
Sis!
The kimchi turned out well. Try some with the stew.
I'm finished. Please excuse me from the table.
What's the matter? Did something happen again?
You're so insensitive!
You're going to the factory alone?
I have to inspect the final cleaning.
It's so dusty there, it's going to be difficult alone.
I'll be back.
Um, please take this with you.
Thank you.
He does all of the hard things around here.
How do you do?
What brings you here this morning?
I was hoping to talk to Ha-eun.
Ha-eun? She just left.
Then this... could you give this to her?
What is this?
Just tell her that I left it for her. Thank you very much.
You sure are persistent. What is it now?
Da-yool may be difficult at times, but she's easy to handle.
Sometimes she's stubborn when she wants to do things by herself,
But she's very organized, more than most adults.
So what?
Get to the point.
Please look after my daughter.
I wrote some things pertaining to her.
If it's not a problem, please follow those directions.
It's not difficult. Don't worry.
Talk and text to her as much as you want to.
And make sure you contact me first, even on the days you come and meet with her.
I'll be a successful mother to her, so don't worry about her.
A mother is just a mother. Ambition and money has nothing to do with it.
By handing her over to me, you've done the best you could for her.
I'm busy now, so if you'd excuse me.
You're early today. Do you want lunch?
I'll take care of it myself. I'm going to get some rest.
Hey! The vegetable man wanted me to give this to you.
4 o'clock!
You're the only one I can entrust with my precious cabbages.
I've seen the way you handled each piece with care.
I was about to give up because I couldn't find the taste I was looking for.
But you have the recipe, and I'm sure that you're the one I've been searching for.
Yes, we're talking about a business. But what I want is to make kimchi with you.
I want everyone to taste the kimchi that we create.
But I can't do this without you.
I've witnessed you at your happiest when you were making kimchi.
Don't be afraid. I wish that you'll regain your happiness.
Sorry, Bro. I'm going home early.
I thought you're headed to the office?
I was, but I'm tired. I'm headed home to rest.
So why did you go cleaning the factory? You're sick now!
Go on and get rest.
Oh, and bro! Did Ha-eun stop by the office today?
No, was she supposed to come?
Not really...
Alright. I'll see you later.
I wouldn't interfere under normal circumstances.
But I can't take it any longer.
Did you hear about our kimchi factory?
Oh, that?
I've already told him that I can't...
Are you really going to refuse?
We've signed for the factory and hired employees,
but we couldn't even name our kimchi yet, because of you.
While waiting for your answer, Tae-kyung's fallen ill.
He didn't eat breakfast, worked all day, and now he's lying in bed.
Please save him.
No, you have the power to save the entire company.
I heard you were ill.
I'm sorry that I didn't recognize the great opportunity you've presented me.
I made you some porridge. I'll leave it in front of your door.
Please come outside.
[Our Kimchi Garden]
Ha-eun.
So, all I have to do is make our kimchi?
Our kimchi... Let's call it “Our Kimchi Garden."
[Subtitles provided by MBC]
People were talking about how Hyun-ji's marrying her own divorce attorney.
He was never in my life.
Don't you miss Da-yool?
Thank you.
For allowing me to stand tall in front of my daughter.
I heard that you were advertising that your kimchi was made by Tae-gang?
What are you talking about?
Why are you here?
What business do you have here?
