I’m sorry. I should’ve never left you in any situation.
I’m sorry. I should’ve have known. It’s all my fault.
And thank you for raising James wonderfully.
What if you found out about James…
How you would be shocked and dumbfounded… I agonized over it.
I was shocked at first. But I got more excited over time.
I was happy about being comforted by my son who loves me.
I know. I felt same when James was born.
Becoming a mom enabled me to do anything for him. So I missed you more.
I know. The feeling I haven’t had before till I became a father.
That feeling was love that I have for James.
Thank you. I’m so thankful that you’re James’ dad.
I love you. I love you, Jisuk.
Hayoung. Just trust me and follow me.
You know how Grandma raised me.
I can’t abandon her. Trust me and wait a little.
I asked you how you feel about me as a woman. Why can’t you answer?
Well, Hyunsook. That…
I’m quick-tempered. Hurry and answer me.
Hyunsook.
Yes.
A childhood friend stimulates special memory and nostalgia.
I don’t want to see you as a woman.
So I’m just a friend.
I don’t want to damage our friendship. I really like you.
But if I see you as a woman, things will get uncomfortable.
I love you as a friend.
Hey, Jingyu. Don’t go around the subject.
So you don’t see me as a woman.
I mean that we shouldn’t draw line to our relationship.
So irritating.
Let’s hang out or argue as we always have been.
I want to stay comfortable with each other as we’ve been.
Okay?
Forget it.
How about black hair witch?
Huh?
Yoonhee’s aunt-in-law. She’s your ideal type.
She’s an in-law. I’m being nice to her so she’d treat Miran nicely.
Is that true?
Sure. Here, cheers. Trust me.
Yoonhee, I can do it. This must be hard on you.
No. I’m energized thanks to you. Thanks.
Elders value the importance of habits over logics.
True. It’s a waste of time.
You got up early. You prepared the breakfast already.
What’s with this breakfast?
It’s cumbersome to prepare in separate plates. Too many dishes.
Let’s get only what you need to eat.
Right. It’s simple and nice. When you get only what you need,
less dishwashing and less food waste. Two birds with one stone.
Grandfather will hate it.
No, Mother.
Grandfather, Father, Aunt, please eat.
Okay.
Huh? What’s this? This is a buffet.
It’s simple and nice.
Yes, just have only what you need.
My goodness.
A simple breakfast menu is better. You only need to eat some for energy.
I think it’s a waste to prepare seven side dishes.
Food waste is also a problem. I’ll enjoy.
You can eat to your taste. Grandfather, please eat.
Shall I get them for you, Father?
Oh, it’s okay. What a bummer.
Gosh, Father. Finger exercise helps prevent Alzheimer’s.
It’s nice to have a meal like this, Father.
Mmm… Do you want me to help you?
Mother…
Mom!
Please enjoy, Father.
Thanks, Miran.
I appreciate your help. Soojeong, eat a lot.
Yes, Yoonhee.
We tend to eat big breakfast.
Right. Breakfast will be a fusion style from now.
Dalja prefers certain food as well.
Just put rice, soup and pickled fish in front of me, okay?
Okay, Father.
You don’t like buffet style?
No. I hate walking around with a plate in a buffet place.
So must I eat like this at home too?
Hurry up, eat and go to work.
Our home is noisy since Minji came. Minji takes after Dalgoo.
Right, Father.
Why? It’s invigorating and nice. Please eat a lot, Father.
Gee, like it’s funny.
Here’s jam.
We’re trying to change our life style so why change mind at the critical moment?
I want to have a good time during a meal.
You make different dishes every meal. It’s too hard on you.
I’ve been doing it over 30 years. Nothing unusual.
I don’t like Grandfather getting uneasy. Don’t want to see him frown either.
We can’t restructure because of Mom. Many ways to go.
I honestly don’t get why we must eat breakfast same time every day.
Too many things to correct. Let’s have a strategy meeting again.
I need to go.
James, drink a lot of milk. You should be tall like mom and dad.
Yes, I’ve been drinking a lot.
Okay.
My head hurts from drinking wine in a long while.
You can’t even invite guests because of us, right?
I’m looking for a place. I’ll stay just till then.
No, no. I don’t have anyone visiting. No, you stay longer.
It’s difficult to live with guests.
I’m okay. If you get a house, do you live with James’ dad?
No.
Look at you. It’s because of James’ grandma, right?
Let’s go see James’ grandma.
James’ dad will take care of it.
She knows about James so I don’t know why she does that.
She’s being cautious. She probably worries people might find out.
Let’s go to her before she schemes anything.
Yes, Miran. Yes, I will ask.
I wanted to ask James, his mom and you to a lunch.
Come during Yoonhee’s dayoff.
Okay, let me know the time.
Yoonhee had a big breakfast, right? Okay, I trust you.
Yoonhee’s mother-in-law?
Yes, let’s eat at Miran’s house on Yoonhee’s dayoff.
She wants to invite you two for a meal after she saw James.
Yoonhee doesn’t seem to have morning sickness.
No, she’s unique. She’s my child but I don’t know her thoughts.
Her husband isn’t even here but she lives with in-laws.
She’s pregnant so shouldn’t she be living with me?
She’s not like young people these days.
Right?
I think I know how Yoonhee feels.
She wants to talk about her husband with his family.
Gosh. She’s totally blinded by love.
Yoonhee loves her husband very much. I envy her.
If a man wants to keep a female as a friend, he doesn’t love her. Right?
Mmm... Not that he doesn’t but he prefers her as a friend.
I see. I can stay as a friend then.
Dr. Lee.
Good morning, Chief.
How about breakfast?
I ate. Aren’t you eating with my mom?
I heard Hyunsook is busy. Did you talk to her?
Not yet. But she probably has time for breakfast. Have you had breakfast?
I ate fruit. Let’s eat delicious lunch.
Okay.
Oh, so hungry.
We’ll adjust the working hours as you’ve suggested.
Thank you.
It was hard to work overnight and come to work early next day.
Right, we should’ve changed it like that earlier.
CEO Kim agreed to your suggestion for the sake of creative design.
He’ll see you in the afternoon.
Me? CEO will see me?
Yes.
Jisuk, it’s me. Can I talk to you?
Yes, go ahead, Mother.
I’ve been busy lately. Anything you’d like to say?
Okay, I should adjust to your busy schedule. Let me know the time. Okay.
Miran, what are you doing?
Folding laundry.
Miran, what are we having for lunch?
You want to eat something?
The donuts you made a long time ago.
Donuts?
The ones you made from dough and made holes with a kettle lid.
The ones you fried and sprinkled sugar.
Oh, those.
But there’re lots of delicious bread you can buy. Mine wouldn’t taste good now.
They wouldn’t?
They tasted good only because they were rare back then.
You have fancy taste so they wouldn’t taste good now.
Even if I make them, no one would eat them.
I’ll tell Minji to buy some donuts.
Never mind. I can just buy them.
Who has the time to make from scratch? Better to just buy them.
Miss Oh.
Hi.
Give them to me. I’ll carry them.
No, it’s okay. I’ll take them.
So stubborn. Who do you take after?
These go to the design room, right?
Yes. No, let me. People will think oddly.
What does it matter?
It matters. People needlessly mind other people’s business.
Especially within an organization like a company.
Sir, I’ll carry them.
Okay then. Take them to the design room, Sunwoo.
Thank you.
CEO is a man too. Treat him with caution when you’re at work.
What? What are you imagining?
Hey, Jingyu. Don’t go around the subject.
So you don’t see me as a woman.
Chief, what are you doing?
Didn’t Hyunsook say anything?
Huh? Like what?
I think Hyunsook is lonely. Has she ever mentioned remarriage?
She mentioned once but I didn’t think much of it.
She really must be considering remarriage then.
Ask her about it. She’s still young.
Middle age is great when one has the breadth of mind to look into the past.
She shouldn’t lose her breadth of mind.
Maybe because of menopause or boredom?
No, it’s because she lives alone. Loneliness is a great helplessness.
She did say she needs to date a man.
Take good care of Hyunsook. She looks tough but she’s tender-hearted.
Okay.
Sunwoo, are you okay?
The office was stuffy.
Don’t work too hard. You worked overnight and outside of office.
I’m okay now. Don’t worry.
If you’re gonna get sick, get permission from me.
Gee, scary. I can’t even get sick on my own.
What to do? Should we take the day off? I’ll take you home.
You’re a newcomer. You can’t do that.
Why not? I can make them approve.
I’m okay now and I’ll tell you if I feel sick.
Okay. How about medicine?
I took it. Thank you.
Don’t be sick. Promise.
I’ll keep that promise.
The weather is nice so people must’ve gone to see flowers. Slow going.
Slow business is better since we work at night. Working two jobs is hard, huh?
I need more sleep. But my mind is at ease since I work at least.
I looked for a middle-age job but they only hire experienced workers.
Hourly works are all for housewives. Hard to get a middle-age job for men.
And it takes too long to get a certificate.
Dalsoo, Jisuk said he can find jobs for us.
Oh, be quiet.
I don’t understand you sometimes. Miran is worried about you.
So you’re in no position to reject a job offer. So unusual.
Curious? Wanna know?
Yes, I’m curious.
It’d be shameless to accept a job. He has no relation to me now.
Being shameless doesn’t last. This has to do with a job.
What is a life? I’m more curious about that. Lots to think.
You always say, “What’s a life?”
Then shall I think about death at this age?
You have the gift of the gab.
Chairman came.
You should’ve called me instead coming down.
I’m not busy so I came down.
What is this regarding to?
About James.
What about James?
He’s one of our own, so we should think about it.
What about?
We should register him on the family relation registration.
Grandma, why are you doing this?
What’s so important about having his name on that piece of paper?
It’s best for James’ sake. Easier life when a man has his dad.
What rights do I have to bring him to our home?
What about Hayoung? What would you tell her?
She’ll understand if we tell her.
You’re too cruel, Grandma.
Don’t you know what it means to lose a child for a mother?
Please don’t bother James and Hayoung. I beg you for the last time.
Just understand what I would be thinking of.
Gosh, so heavy.
What is it?
Herbal tonics. For health protection of a pregnant woman.
For my daughter and my grandchild.
How can I take that in the presence of the elders?
That’s why I bought it to the dentistry.
Store it in the fridge and take it daily.
You can’t even take it peacefully at your home.
It’d be wkward to take it by yourself in front of Aunt-in-law.
I don’t like her but should I have bought for her too? She’s pregnant too.
Gee, so thoughtful. Yoonhee will be energized by your care.
The baby inside her will grow big.
My mom is the best.
Yes, nice. Hyunsook, have lunch with us. I’ll buy your favorite noodle.
Only noodle? Noodle doesn’t cost much. I’ll eat expensive one.
Okay, anything.
What? Eat.
Sunwoo, are you feeling okay?
I’m okay. Don’t bother worrying.
Sunwoo, remember your body is not yours alone.
Let’s protect it together.
Father, I came to show you this. Look at this lyric.
It’s the lyric of a song called, “Life of the 100 years old”.
“When the ferryman comes to take me at my age 60,
tell him I’m too young and I can’t go yet.”
“When the ferryman comes to take me at my age 70,
tell him I still have many things to do and I can’t go yet.”
That is so right.
I know that lyric too.
“When the ferryman comes to take me at my age 80,
tell him I’m still useful and I can’t go yet.”
“And at age 90, I’ll go on my term so tell him not to persist.”
Do you know what he says at age 100?
What? He probably doesn’t want to go.
When old people say they want to die early, don’t believe them.
They want to live longer.
The man says,”Tell him I’ll go on a good day and at a right time.
Do you want to live a long time too, Father? How long? Want to live 100?
Want to live till your baby has his child.
Wow, no way.
Miran, I came.
Oh, welcome.
Father, I came.
Okay. I hear your shop is busy.
If it’s busy every day, we’ll be rich. It’s slow these days.
Go ahead talk. I’m gonna exercise at the yard.
I’ll tell him I’ll go on a good day and at a right time at my age 100.
Father, don’t overexert yourself. Start with stretching.
Okay, okay.
Even if the business is slow, you couldn’t fire Gyungshik.
You’re trying hard to get Gyungshik and Hejin together.
Is it working out? How’s her practice?
No, Hejin isn’t listening. She treats him cold and not interested in him.
You can’t force her to date in this day and age.
I know. This is not like conglomerates’ strategic marriage.
And not like Gyungshik is over the heel with Hejin. It’s a little silly.
I really want to marry Hejin to a rich family.
I want to see her live a good life. I’m not the only one who wants that.
She’d be happy only if she wants it.
It’s risky to marry her off on the basis of money.
Gyungshik looks like a good person though.
It’d be great if you get a good result. If not busy, have dinner with us.
Should I? I should tell Dalgoo to come too.
Okay.
I should eat in big bites.
What’s wrong?
I went to the former agency. I was curious how everyone was doing.
Was hoping the PD changed his mind. But, Gyungshik…
Yes?
Everyone’s doing very well. They used to practice with me so I felt sad.
- You must’ve been upset. - I felt really sad.
It’s not easy to succeed as a singer.
You need to work 10 times harder for the tears you’ve shed now.
I won’t cry anymore.
Right. Don’t cry alone. Oh, the guide singer position is available.
Really? I’ll go. Thanks.
If I try my best for my dream, it’ll come true. Right?
Let’s try our best. Step by step.
It’s so nice to have someone who comforts me.
James, don’t you miss your Hone Kong friends?
Yes, I want to play with them. But I like being with Dad and you.
As long as you like it.
Dad!
James. I’m sorry I was busy and I couldn’t play with you today.
It’s okay, Jisuk.
I’ll go after I take a look at your face.
Take a long look at my face.
Okay.
I need to meet Grandma. Take me to her, Dad.
James.
I told Grandma I hate her. I’ve done wrong.
That’s because you were frightened. She understands.
I’ll tell her what you’ve said. Don’t worry.
Move out from where you’re staying. It’s not comfortable.
Okay. I told Yoonhee’s mom.
Good.
James, let’s eat. Here, say ahh.
Here it is.
I didn’t order it.
Sorry? Isn’t this table #2?
I’m sorry.
Table #2 is over there. You shouldn’t ask the customer.
Oh, I’m sorry.
You’ve waited. I’m sorry. I’m new and I’m not familiar with table numbers.
But I’m very good at measuring the meat.
The meat is measured precisely. I have mighty hands. Please enjoy.
#17 is over there. #18…
Miran worries a lot. That you might have hard times.
She’s very sensitive. Tell her I’m doing very well f she asks.
You’re doing well though.
I keep making mistakes.
You look normal now.
I’m not a patient.
Right, you’re not. You’re just little less healthy.
I don’t like the way you speak.
What? Talking like a big sister?
Yes. You know it too.
I’ll take you home.
I burden you all the time.
If you’re sorry, don’t get sick. Let me relax too.
Let me know when you see your doctor, okay.
Okay.
Fruits taste better in spring.
Heavenly for pregnant women. We have fruits all four seasons.
Nice time to be living. In old days, I could only eat seasonal fruits.
Now we can eat tropical fruits too. We can even order online.
We had many things to buy abroad in the past but not anymore.
We have everything in Korea now.
I like snacking and it’s so nice to have so many snacks.
It’s very comfy to live alone if you have money. Markets have everything.
You’re talking of money again. Money, money.
By the way, only Dalsoo is missing.
My first son is busy these days so it’s hard to see his face.
My heart hurt when he was jobless.
I worry about his health now that he’s busy.
Children are the lifetime homework for parents.
Father, don’t worry too much. It’s bad for your health.
Dalsoo is suffering at his old days. All because he bummed around in his youth.
Dalgoo.
It must be hard for Kihoon in the hot country.
I’m sad, Grandfather.
Why, sweetie?
Everyone slept and didn’t talk to Kihooh on the phone. I’m so sad.
Who is making this house’s first daughter-in-law sad?
Huh?
Kihoon! Honey!
Kihoon!
My first grandson?
He came without a word?
Wow. Geez. She’s ecstatic. Come here.
What happened? I couldn’t even get in touch.
Surprise. More pleasant when I come without a notice.
I got a special break.
I see. Welcome.
Welcome, my son. Congratulations, Dad.
Mom.
Kihoon.
Hey, little sister. Amazing that you got a job.
The whole house is happy with the first son’s presence.
Grandpa, you’re doing well?
Yes, you’ve come afar.
Grandpa, please receive my bow.
Okay.
