Childless Comfort - Episode 19
Mom, come here.
- Mom. - What is it?
This divider doesn't really go with Yoo-jin.
It looks to old fashioned.
Yea it doesn't go.
- I can find one online. - Just use it for pictures.
You're mother in law makes the best rice cakes.
Mom this one doesn't have any filling.
There are ones with filling and ones without.
Why?
The ones without mean to be a open hearted and the ones with mean to be full.
Wow what a deep thought.
I've never heard that before.
- Get some fruit. - Ok.
The baby's dinner looks like a king's dinner.
Yea this is a lot of food.
Father wanted us to make a lot.
- It's just her 100th day birthday. - Be quiet.
It's his granddaughter and great granddaughter.
That's true.
She is selfish sometimes, always being the only princess around.
You're just older now, you don't know anything.
I'll speak to you at home.
Of course you will, we live together.
Close the door, leaving it open wastes energy.
Alright.
- Grandma. - Yes.
- I need to changer her clothes. - Yes she needs to do so.
The diaper is in the way.
What can you do, she needs her diaper.
- My how pretty. - She should wear a traditional dress.
- No one wears that now. - So, it's tradition.
- Why are you making her wear that? - You're her greatgrandfather stop nagging.
You can only wear a traditional once.
You can wear this a couple times, it's more practical.
There isn't much there why do you keep counting it?
This is a lot.
So what, it's all there.
This is a lot.
I'm holding $500 in my hand.
It's not like you haven't had money before.
This is my money, the first time in my life.
- What if one is missing. - The bank counted it well.
Stop talking to me, I forgot it.
We were going to do it on the weekend, but dad wanted on her birthday.
Any day is fine.
Her birthday is only one day out of the year.
Anything dad says goes.
We follow the rules.
Why did you bring this?
Cell phone pictures are fine.
Why do you need to zoom?
Are you going to take pictures of dad's pores?
I just brought the whole bag.
No one uses these cameras, you're not a photographer.
- You waste so much money. - Why are you picking a fight?
- How much is this? - You don't need to know.
- I can find out online. - Just give it to me.
How many pictures did you take with this?
- A few. - Where?
Last summer when I went fishing.
- 1,000? - I don't need 1,000 pictures.
It's a bad habit to want anything that's expensive.
- Why do you need this? - Forget it.
This might be a waste, but to me it's special.
I debated buying this and my wife just told me to, so I finally bought it.
- I lost weight worrying about this. - Do you even touch it?
I'm touching it now.
It's so pretty and cool.
Give that to me.
When I ran away I sold the camera Dae-gi gave me.
Give it to me and buy a new one.
That must have resale value.
- Are you serious? - I don't have a generous wife.
I can't even sell the camera because she will ask for it.
Tell him to buy you a new one, how can you ask for this one?
- Does he makes sense. - He was just joking.
- I wasn't kidding. - You really are something.
You're bald for a reason.
I need to stretch.
- Lets golf after lunch. - You're so brazen.
Stop messing with me!
- You're so cute. - Mom and dad.
Dad you sit on the inside.
Dad and mom look over here.
Lets eat.
Dr. Kim's surgery is so good.
He had 2 surgeries.
Yes he did.
Yea.
- What is that? - Kimbap.
My maid makes the best ones.
She even had her own lunch business.
She makes the best.
She bought the ingredients in the morning and brought it to me.
- You don't want it? - I wanted spicy beef soup.
- You like that? - My grandma made it a lot for me.
Have soup first.
- It's good. - My mom makes it like this.
- You have to say that? - 1st family rule, be honest.
- What is the 2nd? - Don't touch other people's things.
- The 3rd? - Nationalism.
What kind of family are you?
- Who is it? - My brother.
- One person? - Yes.
Is it a girl, what kind of brother talks that much?
- Your sister got married and had a kid? - No marriage, just a kid.
- Curious? - Isn't she a judge?
The dad wanted an abortion, she chose to be a single mom.
- She's brave. - She's foolish.
Your parents had no choice, how did she have a birthday with your grandpa?
- There was some discussion. - I bet there was.
- She got tricked by a guy. - She chose wrong.
She got dumped and pregnant at once.
Don't say something that dumb, all single moms are like that.
She trusted him, had sex and had a baby, obviously marriage.
Then the jerks say whatever and make her a single mom.
- Why would she trust him? - Being trustful isn't being foolish.
Girls love and men just want sex. Why is that being foolish?
Jerks like you.
Sex without love.
Be warned, 7 girls will bring their kids saying you're the dad.
You only think of girls.
You better get married!
You need to marry?
Do you?
My parents, uncles, aunts all send me messages. I'm going crazy.
Get married.
- I don't want too. - Just pick a girl.
Marriage isn't something you just pick.
Why are you yelling at me?!
Get married.
You need 100 side dishes to live to be 100.
I will pass out the rice cakes to the neighbors.
Father that is...
No one got married, what will you say it's for?
She's right.
We didn't make many rice cakes.
We can just take some and you can take some to work.
What will you say when someone asks?
Or just say that Joong-gi made a mistake.
The baby is growing, everybody will find out soon.
Just make the baby Joong-gi's kid again.
What do you think?
- I'm ok with it. - What do you think?
I don't want to do that to Yoo-jin.
So-young...
I'm sorry but I don't care what they think.
- That's what I think. - I understand her.
You accepted her why make them seem shameful.
Yea you accepted no need to make her Joong-gi's daughter anymore.
Every family has their secrets.
That's right, I don't care.
You are so cool.
Have a drink.
I need to work, no thank you.
- Then give me some. - You seem a little drunk.
I'm fine, just pour me some.
- Mom get up. - What are you doing?
- Stop being rude. - Yes, yes.
You're just coming out?
- Did you sleep? - I was reading something.
The article was long.
Don't sit their too long.
Alright.
It's snowing out.
It's snowing out!
It's nothing big.
You're so cynical.
You're really bad mouthed.
Come out.
Where?
Mom lets go.
- Mom. - Leave her alone.
She's in a good mood, when she is she sings.
Be quiet.
- What's after that? - The stars are out.
- The night passes... - I will remember you.
That was amazing.
- Look here. - Yes.
I'm a bit drunk, I like alcohol but I can't drink that much.
I've met so many men while running my restaurants.
- But all those mean are losers. - Yes men these days are losers.
You're so cute.
Mother in law.
You're so cute, so cute.
Mother in law!
- Mom. - Mother.
You're not gonna snow anymore?!
- If it snows don't drive. - It won't be that bad.
- You never know. - It's been 1 minute.
- Listen to me. - Ok.
- Congrats. - What?
- Yoo-jin's 100th day birthday. - Thank you.
- Stop man handling me. - Just stay still.
I'm not drunk stop treating me like I am.
Do you want me to give you a piggy back ride?
I'm not drunk you bastard.
You're drunk, you just swore to him.
- That isn't swearing. - Yes it is.
What kind of mother in law says that?!
Right here, Lee Myung-ja!
Mother.
- Put this in the bank. - I want tea, you?
- I want some plumb tea. - Me too.
- Ok. - Wait.
- The want plumb tea. - Make some.
You can miss one day.
If I stay, I'll just end up napping.
- Going out? - Rice cakes.
I'll get it.
- You should rest. - I was gone for too long.
Sae-rom's mother sings well.
- Yes. - She is good.
Yes she does.
She must have been pretty when she was young.
Yes.
You said you didn't make that many.
We won't give it to the neighbors.
Just give it to your customers.
That is a good idea.
- You don't need too. - I got it.
I want child support and put his name in the birth certificate.
If I ask him, I might lose my custody.
- Don't worry. - I don't have much money.
He neglected the child, the courts won't give him custody.
Don't worry.
The case will take 1 year, he would take the kid and give it up for adoption.
I'm hiding and raising the child.
There is away to protect yourself while you're in court.
- What is that? - During the proceeding,
they will give child support and custody to the mother.
He might take the child, he is unstoppable.
Okay.
I will take out a restraining order on him.
The child support will be decided in about a month.
You will have support soon.
And after the proceeding begins the father will be summoned.
After all that, he won't be able to take the child quickly.
- Do you want some sugar? - 2 spoons.
You're my first client coming back to work.
I heard from your supervisor that you're doing this for free.
- Have some. - Thank you.
It's good.
Hold on.
Yes supervisor.
Yes I'm meeting with her right now.
She was so drunk today.
What?
That old lady knows a lot of songs.
She was like a lonely old women.
You know all the lyrics, I only know 2 songs.
I like songs, I know most of the lyrics.
She must be lonely, she only sang sad songs.
Yea, I'm lonely too.
Hey hey stop.
Just stay still!!!
How could you do that in front of my in laws?! You always do something!
What did I do?
Just lay down.
- Baby get out. - How can I face them?
It's alright.
It hurts my pride that mom did that and now Yoo-jung will look down on me even more!
- No she doesn't. - Yes she does!
If I say anything she always looks at me and says something!
She turns me into a fool.
Sometimes I feel like throwing up just being near her.
I love that is why I take it all.
I get so stressed and feel like I'm growing cancer inside of me.
And mom was drunk in front of her.
That was nothing, she didn't dance or take off her clothes.
She touched father's face, she would have kissed him!
- You think I don't know? - It wasn't that bad.
It's so embarrassing, what will she think of me!
A drunk mother, she will look down on my even more.
It's so awful!
It's not that bad really.
It was just a funny incident.
- We forgot the rice cakes. - That is not the problem.
I spent $500 on Yoo-jin's dress and $500 as a gift.
See how much Yoo-jung made.
How So-young isn't home.
This time they must have put $100, they fought last time.
- Lets bet. - Ok.
- Loser $300. - Ok.
- I bet $100. - Me too.
- That isn't a bet. - Me, $150 then.
My mom is crazy!
- Come sit. - Ok.
- You worked hard. - It was nothing.
You and mother worked hard.
Sae-rom's mom helped out or else I would have hit Sae-rom.
She has a good life.
- She must have had a good life. - She has no money problems.
A husband who dotes on her, a mother that was a chef, she's pretty.
I feel jealous sometimes.
- What about Yoo-jin's birth certificate? - So-young already filed it.
- How? - As her child.
Father allowed her?
She did it herself.
He just agreed with her.
It's not good putting her under her father's name.
So-young doesn't want that either.
She needs too, I was wondering what she would do.
It was all her decision in the first place.
- That isn't easy for the baby. - What we wish is,
she finds a husband in a couple years.
Yoo-jin needs to eat.
- Sit down. - No.
- Sit down. - I'm fine, leave me alone.
You worked hard today.
- We forgot the rice cakes. - I would have brought you some.
- Sorry sorry. - What?
My mother in law.
That's fine, it was fun.
It wasn't fun, just awkward.
Why?
She's not young but an old grandma.
- You sang her lyrics. - I was just helping her out.
- She forgot the lyrics. - How much did you give as a gift?
- What? - I need to know.
- No need to know. - Are you betting again?
Father's was really thick.
Do you know how much?
- How would I know? - How much did you put in it?
Us $200, Dae-gi $200, why?
- Really? - Why?
- You went from $50 to... - To what?
- Check if it's true. - Bastard.
Won't your wife be mad?
- She changed. - Does she go to church?
I will beat you one day.
If he tells on us we will both get in trouble.
He's the youngest, remember we couldn't ever touch him.
Baby they gave $200.
Really?!
Will the sun still rise?
Give me the coffee grinds.
- Planting? - Putting them in my shoe closet.
Your feet smell that bad?
No of course a shoe closet will smell.
- My feet don't smell. - Ok get back to work.
- Why isn't he coming? - The espresso?
He is on the phone.
I thought he went to the bathroom.
- What a waste. - We don't know when he will hang up.
You can't miss the best tasting time.
It's still a big waste.
- We give them the best. - Whatever.
Stop messing around.
- Do you want me to punish you? - Is this the army?
Hold on.
The coffee past it's time so we threw it out .
- It is coming up. - Thank you.
Go get married Sung-gi.
Marriage, Marriage, Marriage, Marriage.
How annoying!
Work is hard.
Sleeping?
- No. - You weren't busy.
My family is annoying.
Marriage, Marriage, Marriage, Marriage that's what they text me.
He always sends it to me including my uncles.
I'll read you one, my uncle.
Marriage is normal.
Everyone in this world should get married.
The end.
- What kind of world is this. - Just marry Lee Young-ae.
What?
Her mom wants her to get married.
She always says, "I need a man to get married".
Same situation.
Make two of your families peaceful.
That is nonsense, is that how you got married?
Yea our families had an agreement.
So you got divorced?
I was the sacrifice for my family's business.
You know each other.
- She's 2 years older. - That is nothing.
- Try it. - That is nonsense.
- How can we marry. - No problem.
- I will talk to her. - About what?
Oh Yeon-soo.
Really you're calling me now?
Nice hearing from you.
I'm so happy you called.
What do you want to eat?
Come to my house, I'll cook.
What do you want? You remember that?
Ok I'll make that.
It's not good with wine.
Ok then we will have soju.
- I'm leaving. - Bye.
- Who is that? - Who cares.
He's coming to her house, must be close.
I guess so.
Don't get dumped.
What?
Get me a coffee.
What are you doing?
Is cooking for men at your house, your hobby?
Wearing tight clothes, perfume and buying them watches.
Are you jealous?
- I'm upset you used me. - You had nothing to lose.
I thought you were respectable.
What a joke you can judge me?
The rumors are the same for you.
I don't care what rumors say.
- What is your motive? - What?
- Why did you make me lunch? - You like eating alone?
I hate eating alone.
So you're making soju and stew?
- Why did you eavesdrop? - You speak so loudly.
- I can hear well. - Loudly?
- Stop being a brat. - Then,
you should speak softly.
Aren't you cold?
I am cold.
- You really are disappointing? - Do you want to come?
- Come? - Why would I?
- What is she doing? - I will get her.
- Dad. - Mom is waiting.
I was counting the money.
What was the amount?
Grandpa gave me $3,000.
- He really likes you. - I will tell him thank you.
Alright.
Dad gave So-young $3,000.
Will it end soon?
She needs to say something.
Grandpa.
Grandpa,
I will never,
- forget you. - Ok, thanks.
I can't say what you did was good.
But,
you are helping single moms like you.
Don't lose that compassion.
Ok.
And work harder on other things as well.
Ok grandpa.
And find a good man and get married soon.
- Okay. - Please do so.
- I will go eat. - Ok.
I want some beer,
This is meant for beer.
- I'm not complaining. - Yes you are.
- When did I? - You always.
- I'm hungry. - Sit down.
I was worried that it would snow heavily.
Mom I want some side dishes.
Eat, I will make some.
- Stop making cabbage soup. - Just eat what she makes.
- Will the give you an office? - No they wont.
Oh yea,
- how much did uncle give? - $200.
And Dae-gi gave $100.
Use that money and make a savings account for Yoo-jin.
- I know. - Yoo-jung was generous.
Want some beer?
- It's cold out. - I'm fine.
- Where's mother? - I don't know.
- She isn't awake? - I don't know.
It isn't good if it gets cold.
- You cooked. - No I didn't.
You made eggs.
Here.
To my mother in law.
- She needs to quit drinking. - That will never happen.
Why do they call when we eat?
- Yes. - Hwi-myung gave $200.
It's right.
I bet Hwi-myung suggested it.
What are you doing?
Beer sounds good, I'm jealous.
I got scolded for wanting some beer.
No enjoy it yourselves.
- Bye. - Ok I feel bad for you.
Ok bye.
- They did give $200. - The chicken is good here.
Yes it is.
I really liked that song.
Yes you did.
- Are the kids going to be late? - They didn't say anything.
- Dae-gi. - Yes.
- Hyo-joo. - She's here.
- You made her park the car? - No don't be shocked.
Hyo-joo did something bad.
What is she ok?!
It's...
Come in.
I told you they would be shocked.
I wanted a change.
You did this without him knowing?
I don't need his permission to change my hair.
I thought a lion was getting in the car.
I was shocked.
I looks okay.
When you see grandparents, tie your hair.
You can't go like that.
Okay.
- What's with mom? - I don't know.
- I thought they would fight. - Give it time.
Your mom wants to feed you first.
A hair style shows how a girl feels.
Yes when they break up they change their hair.
I make things that hard for you?
Yes.
- I need to shave my head. - I can't agree.
The stress you have is nothing compared to mine.
You can't shave.
How do you know my stress?
You hate me,
and I'm hated.
- How can your stress be more? - So you're the victim here?
Then am I the defendant?
If you were my real daughter, I wouldn't let you speak like this.
I would beat you.
- Honey. - What did you say to me today?
You asked why I was so tacky.
Hey.
I felt bad all day.
I don't know any way in which you won't yell at me.
Hyo-joo.
How long will I have to put up with this kind of life?
I know that I'm not an affectionate person.
- I can't be that girl. - Your mother is the same way.
I was born this way, but I need to say what I feel.
That is just like her too.
Honey she is just like you.
- I never spoke back to mother. - My mom is so passive.
- If you were she wouldn't be like this. - I just made a small comment.
If I hurt your feelings,
I apologize.
But do you have to do this right before dinner time?
Mom.
I need to live, I can't live this way.
I want to have children and live a normal life.
So from now on I will think of you as a mom, call you mom.
I will try to think of you as a mom.
I made my decision.
You lost.
What do I have to fear at this age?
Why are you yelling? Think of what you did in front of my in laws!
Sae-rom!
You embarrassed me so much.
You made me feel like poop.
What did I do?
- You don't remember? - I just sang a little.
- You just sang? - Did I dance too?
You kissed father!
- Really?! - No you didn't.
- Why didn't you stop me? - How knew you would do that?
- What did your mother say? - She just laughed.
Because it was so absurd.
What do I do? What do I do?
You aren't drunk anymore, you are no help.
Where did I kiss him?
On his lips.
It wasn't a actual kiss, you stopped before.
- Don't laugh! - Why are you yelling?
Blame your mother she kept offering me soju.
She kept urging me to drink.
- Stop making excuses. - I should have stopped with one.
I drank too much.
- You were drunk before it started. - No I wasn't.
It's just a good memory for your father in law.
It's an honor for him to be kissed by a beautiful girl like me.
Don't say anything to her, she was just drunk.
- You liked it? - What?
You're not living.
- Then am I a ghost? - You having nothing to lose.
- I trust you. - You're not a girl.
You're no fun.
I gave the professor rice cakes.
He said thanks for the kimchi.
We talked over a cup of tea.
He liked it.
I showed him a picture of you in my wallet.
He was about to drool, saying how pretty you were.
He doesn't realize that you were pretty when you were younger.
He asked me how I got such a beautiful girl.
I wanted to say that you liked me first.
But I thought of you and didn't say that.
You hung around my restaurant smiling all the time.
- Just watch the t.v. - You are no fun.
You like octopus.
- I should have married you. - Bastards.
All the guys say that.
- You're not drinking grandpa? - I ate so much, I'm full!
Lets rest then.
- You have 3 kids? - 4, another daughter.
Tell your wife to stop trying for a son.
You're having another?
No now were stopping.
Then you will be like rabbits.
- It must be hard watching kids. - It's like a war zone.
- Girls are really noisy. - They're on a sonic level!
Young-hyun.
I have cancer.
It's a bad case, the last phase.
I visited my dad's grave.
Put my real estate up.
And left my will.
It's over.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
I wanted to see all of you, but I didn't.
You tell them.
- Who is it? - Ahn Sung-gi.
Just leave.
I'm not in the mood to see you.
- It's too harsh. - Lets talk tomorrow.
Open the door, I need to give you something.
That wine was so expensive, I will pay you in monthly installments of wine.
Hello, pick one.
What about these?
They are too big.
Those are pretty.
What?
Nothing.
I'm talking to myself.
Oh I see.
Should we go to the park?
What?
You should go to the park and just scream.
Just go.
Stupid grandma.
He can't be hungry.
They will figure it out.
- They can't cook. - They aren't 3.
- I don't like that daughter. - I like her.
She is just like you, really think of it.
She is testing me, and saying that she will win.
- What? - That isn't what she meant.
Don't you feel bad for her?
She is smarter than you and more mature.
What if she really does start calling you mom?
You lost this battle.
What? What?
- Did you eat? - Yes we ate.
- I wanted you to eat. - She said you make the best kimchi stew.
Ok, rest.
- Sleep. - Sleep well mom.
But why does mom look sad?
She does.
Was I wrong?
- I will feed her? - I will do it.
It's her child, why are we watching it?
She said she would stay here for 3 years and raise her.
At least she is starting to work again.
Yea she even went to a meeting today.
She quiet being a judge, and just wanted to raise her.
I know.
She did it to spite me.
You have a grandma to raise you, right?
Hello?
It's late, why are you waking me up?
You escaped, are you hurt?
So where are you now?!
- Grandpa. - What?
I need to borrow the car keys.
There was a fire in an apartment.
The fire was put out in one hour.
The tenants are in the ICU.
- Is doing it? - Work on it.
- When will you do it? - What?
Stop it.
- I'm not interested in him. - Do you like him?
What?!
I don't know why God saved me!
Mom.
You have a daughter now.
- You don't like it? - I like it.
I'm sorry.
- Thank you. - You have a girlfriend?
You grew up.
Do I bother you?
Why are you being like that?
She really wants to try her best.
