Jaejoon.
Hey, what happened?
Esol... What happened to her?
Wait, didn't you get into an accident?
Esol came here to find you.
What the heck are you talking about?
Where the heck is she?
Tell me where she is!
Jaejoon!
What happened?
Are you okay? Aren't you hurt anywhere?
Are you really alright?
What happened to you? Weren't you in an accident?
I thought you were injured and I looked for you.
You are okay, right?
What a relief! I'm relieved.
Thank God. Thank God.
Esol, you are really...
Yeah, this is ridiculous.
Yura, we're just...
Don't get us wrong.
It wasn't her who met the accident.
We confirmed our safety, so let's just go.
You!
- Yura. - Let go of me!
I told you to get out of our sight!
You wench! Why do you care if he dies or not?
Get off of her, please!
Go away! I'll finish this wench today!
You damned wench!
Yura! What the heck are you doing?
Say what?
Don't you know what you did to me?
How could you do this to me?
I am you fiancee! How could you do this to me?
How could you? How could you?
Please stop.
Don't stop me! Let go of me!
Let's just go!
Let go! Let go of me. Let go!
Let go! Let go!
Let go!
Look at you.
Now do you feel better?
You insisted on coming here. Now are you satisfied?
She is not wrong.
You called it quits. You said you had left him for keeps.
So why do you care if he dies or not?
Is this what you call quits?
You two are so...
I'm fed up.
Dongu.
I'm sorry for making a scene before you.
It's all my fault, so...
Don't drive now.
It's dangerous to drive in anger.
I'll take the wheel.
Yura, we need to talk.
Give me the car key.
Yura.
You don't want to?
Why, are you afraid to be responsible in case I die in a car accident?
Wouldn't it be for the better?
Without me, you can live happily with Esol.
Don't be childish.
Childish?
Fine, I'll take a taxi.
Calm down first.
Who do you think you are to make me like this?
Why do you make me feel this miserable?
The loss of my dignified bearing is so sudden.
Why should I... Why!
Stop drinking.
You need young people in the family.
Without Minjoon and Jaejoon, it feels so empty.
I envy them.
They must have a romantic time with their mates.
How I wish to marry!
After marrying off Jaejoon, I'll look for your match.
Really?
Do you mean it? I'll accept your word for it.
Is remodeling their room finished?
No.
Since they married in haste, it'll be done after they return.
She always acts in annoying manners.
Why does she want to live with us in this house?
I know.
Why does she want to live with in-laws unlike other women?
Maybe she has an ulterior motive.
Actually I asked her to.
I told her to learn this and that for one year.
She needs to at least learn our family customs.
You used to be a resident servant in my house,
...and then you became a parvenu. Family customs?
That's preposterous. So funny!
Dang it. Who benefits from it the most?
I'll go to bed first.
Teach your mother first before you teach Lena.
Good night.
Mom, you're not a child. Why are you so thoughtless?
Please think before you speak.
Look. A family should be honest with each other. So...
Yes but,
...you shouldn't hurt each other with words even in family.
I'm afraid you might belittle Taesoo before Lena.
Heera, however hard you try to hide his origin, you can't.
You better lay bare...
Mom, please!
It'll give a handle to Lena.
She isn't one of us yet, so please rein your tongue.
I'm going out. Don't tell Taesoo.
Okay.
How do you like it?
I picked this place after a lot of consideration.
This is my mom's hometown.
Really?
I really wanted to come here once, and here I am with you.
She must be glad.
I think she couldn't die in peace, leaving you behind.
But you grew into a man and came here with a wife.
Yeah. Sorry if I made your heart heavy.
I'll take you to more wonderful places later.
Come on. There'll be no better place than here.
I really like it.
What are you thinking?
The flowing river reminds me of the time...
...when I returned from America 4 years ago...
...as a loser only with $3,000 in my hand.
I didn't know what to do to support myself.
You had no acquaintances in Korea?
No. I came back to Korea in 20 years.
I vowed to myself I wouldn't return to this infernal land,
...but life didn't go my way.
Like a dog returns to its vomit, right?
Infernal land...
Why did you leave Korea?
You were in your early 20's back then.
Was it because...
...your first love failed you?
No way.
It's been so long that I forgot.
That's more fishy.
It's not funny.
I'm thirsty. Let's have wine.
Why isn't she coming? Didn't she change her mind?
Just sit down.
She'll come. She even attended his wedding.
It's been so long. I'm worried if she has changed.
You know her. She's excellent in handling business.
True.
She melted Minjoon's frozen heart to decide to marry her.
She'll do good, right?
She'll make it this time too. Don't worry.
I can't sleep these days.
The mere thought of Lena as my family gives me the chill.
Be patient. Jisoo is Minjoon's first love.
And first love always works for men.
You have a visitor.
Let her in. I think she's arrived.
Jisoo.
What happened? What happened to your legs?
How are you? It's been exactly 10 years.
It tastes better than my expectation.
I placed a special order. For a very special chef.
You prepared a lot. Candles, wine...
There's something missing though.
What is it?
Music. It'd be perfect if we have music now.
Alright, then!
This is my favorite song.
Did you know it?
Of course. You are the star of the day.
Right. It is the happiest day of my life.
No one could have imagined...
...that the wretched Lena would have her day.
Surely, you need to struggle hard to succeed.
How was your life?
Now that I married you, I think I know little about you.
You were left in an orphanage at eight,
...you moved to America 20 years ago...
...and returned to Korea four years ago.
That's all I know about you.
Same here.
All I know about you is...
...you lost your mother at eight,
...you were sent to America at 12 after your father remarried,
...and you lived single since your marriage broke off 10 years ago.
Right?
Why don't we talk frankly about our past?
When was the most difficult time in your life?
I'm sorry.
I don't want to think about the painful past.
You said in the marriage vow...
...that how I've lived or what I've done doesn't matter.
You meant it, didn't you?
I'm scared. Do you have a past I shouldn't know about?
Wait. Did you lie about your age?
From the age of 23 to 43?
Everything's forgivable except that.
I don't care what kind of a woman you were.
Let me ask one more question.
The woman you were going to marry.
Did you completely forget about her?
Even if she shows up again, you won't waver, will you?
You said you want to forget about the painful past.
Same here.
She doesn't mean anything to me now.
Since I met you, I've regarded her as dead.
I'm relieved.
I was rarely happy in my life...
...so I'm insecure about this happiness.
'Is it okay to be this happy?'
'What if some bad incident deprives me of happiness?'
That's a foolish thinking.
I'm here with you, so don't worry.
What happened to you? How could you...
I had a car accident.
And I woke up from surgery only to find my legs like this.
Then you can't walk at all?
No, not at all.
This is my five-year long friend.
Yet you want to meet Minjoon?
Do you think you can do the job in this state?
Isn't it for the better?
He's taken in by a vixen's tricks.
He needs a shock therapy to come around.
Right.
If the woman he was once madly in love shows up like this,
...he'll waver in pain, huh?
Okay. Then let's do it.
I'll trust you'll do a good job this time again.
Lena Jeong is no pushover. Be careful.
Okay.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking it's warm and comfortable...
...and after walking barefoot a long way,
...I want to get rest.
I wish time would stand still forever.
It shouldn't. You'll become happier.
Did you have a problem with Dongu yesterday?
He didn't sleep at all last night.
He kept sighing deeply, tossing and turning in bed.
What happened? Did you have a fight with him?
Did he run into Jaejoon at your boss' wedding?
No, he has nothing to do with us. Never mind.
My head is aching.
Here. Take medicine.
So why did you drink so much?
It's all your fault.
Oh, my head is splitting.
Let me see if you have a fever.
Why, are you still sick?
I have something to tell you.
Jaejoon, I thought about us all night...
...and came to this conclusion this morning as I swam.
Please don't cut in and just listen.
What is it?
Don't cut in. Just listen.
Okay. Go ahead.
If you want my apology, I will apologize. If you want my...
Let's finish here.
You set your own value.
When you are in love, you should become mature,
...but ever since I started liking you, I've become awful.
I always get into a fuss to strike your fancy,
...clinging to you obsessively,
...and even used violence yesterday.
I told you it wasn't your fault. I am to blame.
I'll be nicer to you.
No, you don't need to. I don't want it.
Yura.
I mean it. I don't want it.
It's not funny to cling to a man who loves someone else.
I might become like Kathy Bates in Misery.
I'd better stop here and return to myself.
Yura.
Again, don't cut in.
If you love Esol that much, go and hold onto her.
Are you telling me to go through hell again?
I don't want to let her go through it again.
Hey. You're really an egoist.
She shouldn't have a hard time but I can?
That's not what I meant.
Cut it out. Do you think she's happy now?
Does she look happy to be with Dongu?
If she were, she wouldn't have run to the hospital.
I realized this as I saw you.
That love can't be attained by effort.
If you are meant for each other, you shouldn't give up.
However hard your mom opposes it, you shouldn't give in.
Why are you hesitating? Elope with Esol.
Don't be a coward anymore. Just go stop her.
Let's go.
I told you I'm okay.
We should go to Seoul to stop her. Hurry, let's go.
He really doesn't care about me.
Come with me!
It hits the spot. Esol, keep this in mind.
I like bean paste soup like this. So does Dongu.
Why should she keep that in mind?
You're so. How slow-witted you are.
She'll be my daughter-in-law so she needs to know our tastes.
Eunsol, go bring eggs so that he can count his chickens.
This is no time to quarrel. Dongu and Esol had a fight.
Huh?
Dongu doesn't want to eat.
See? He even refuses to eat the food Esol made.
Did you really fight?
It's not that.
I'm going to work.
Eat breakfast. I made your favorite soup.
Dongu! Dongu!
It seems they really had a fight.
It's the first time he acts so cold to her.
Seems he knows tactics of love.
Now he can play hard to get. Why not?
Cut the crap!
If he keeps acting like that, he'll be over with her!
My head is aching.
Here you are. Go in.
I see you're impatient to go to Esol.
Let's keep it a secret. If things go well, I'll treat you big.
Bye.
Oh. Look who's here.
Dad.
It's my precious son-in-law.
Hi. Are you back from the gym?
Yes. Did you have fun?
Was Jaejoon nice to you?
Well. Yes, of course.
He was about to leave. Take care.
Yes. I'm busy. Goodbye.
Busy?
When you stayed out overnight with my daughter,
...you should apologize!
Let's go in.
Do we have something on our faces?
Why are you staring at us?
No, nothing.
I'm sorry. I should've made a sumptuous meal for you...
...but this is all I can give you. Here.
Thank you.
Eat.
He kept my daughter overnight. Why give him another egg?
Please understand him.
Every father regards his son-in-law as a thief.
Okay, my son-in-law?
Excuse me.
Stop it now. Son-in-law? I've got goose pimples.
They surely have changed, right?
They can't even meet each other's eyes unlike they used to.
They must've had a romantic night.
Watch her though. If rumors get started, it'll run against her.
His family has the say in any case.
But Yura is wise enough to have captured his heart.
I'm so proud of her!
That's my girl.
Yura.
I think we'd better continue to have a date.
Are you going back on your word?
Don't be disappointed. It's not for real.
My parents will kill me if they find out I let you go.
Let's act like lovers until we arrive at a good idea.
But, can you really do that?
I feel very sorry for you.
Then buy me a drink.
Hurry, go to Esol.
Yura.
I know. You regret to let this great lady get away.
Hello? Who's calling?
Is Esol at home?
Esol? She went to work.
Really? Thank you.
Esol.
We need to talk.
What brings you here?
I came to see you.
Why...
Let's start over again.
Well, actually I didn't finish with you.
Right, I've never finished with you.
Not a single moment have I forgotten you since you left me.
However hard I try, I couldn't get over you.
I've tried enough, so I'll be honest with myself.
I broke up with Yura. We can pick up the thread.
If we want, we can go back the way we were.
I will really do it right.
I'll never give you up no matter what.
So please trust me one more time.
I will really do my best and never let you go again.
I'm sorry I can't. I already forgot about you.
Esol.
I know I still have leftover feelings for you.
But I've come too far to go back.
Nonsense.
Your leftover feelings for me can bring you back to me.
Please don't say like that.
Can't you get my drift?
It may be simple to you, but not to me.
I don't want to hurt someone I cherish again.
If you mean your family, I'll persuade them.
And I'll stop my mom from hurting you. So please...
What about Dongu?
He's had feelings for me since a long time ago, and yet,
...he let me go out with you.
And he stood by me when I was down.
I can't dump him for my interest. I can't.
That is not love.
You deceive your own heart.
If it's hard for you, I'll talk to him.
I'll reason with him.
No, don't do that. If you do that,...
No. Don't do that.
Esol. Esol!
What is this?
A wedding gift from Jaejoon to make good memories with you.
Oh. You're childish.
We're taken. One, two, three.
Wait.
Hey, you said I'm childish.
Hold on. I got a present too.
Hour glass?
Ms. Jeong, congratulations on your marriage.
Turning the sandglass over means a fresh start.
Is it from Esol?
Yes.
A fresh start. I wish it'll work like her message.
Well!
The past has really gone.
From now on, I'll make you happy all your life.
How?
How about a life like in a movie?
Like Gone with the Wind!
Are you okay?
It shattered into pieces.
It's meaningless. Where shall we go today?
Did Heera go out?
Do you like my daughter that much?
Whenever you're at home, you want to keep her by your side.
This is why men should work till death.
You lived idly all your life,
...so you don't know how hard it is to work.
- Taesoo! We're back! - Hi.
You didn't go to the gym?
Where have you been?
I went shopping for interior items for Minjoon's room.
They didn't have enough time to prepare furnishings.
Oh, really?
Lena knows little about housekeeping.
Teach her well.
Don't worry. That's what I have in mind.
This is Heera. Did you meet him?
I'm on the way there now.
You know the address, right?
Yes. Make no mistake.
Wow.
Look at the camera.
You said I'm childish but you like it more.
It's really fun.
Are you okay? Aren't you hurt?
My hand slipped. Thank you.
Oh. We should pack up.
We have to leave now to meet the dinner time. Let's hurry.
Minjoon.
Oh, sorry. Okay.
I don't know if Mother will like what I bought for them.
Isn't anything missing?
I'm going out for a minute.
Where? We should leave soon.
It won't take long.
Excuse me.
Have you seen the lady who was here anywhere?
Who do you mean?
The lady who broke the glass.
Oh. She wanted to get changed so I took her to her room.
Is she a resident? Can I have her suit number?
It's Suite 203.
Why are you asking?
Thank you.
The door is open.
Hold on, please.
What is it?
What's keeping him?
Answer the phone, Minjoon.
Minjoon?
So you are really Jisoo.
I didn't believe it but...
...it's really you.
You vanished 10 years ago, making me dejected.
How can you show up like this?
Don't just think of yourself.
I too had a hard time.
Hard time?
What was hard for you?
You stood me up at the wedding and now you say what?
I was confused why you did that to me.
No, more than that,
...I wondered to death where and why you vanished.
I've lived like that for TEN years.
Stop. It's all water under the bridge.
Stop?
Tell me why you disappeared.
Why did you do that to me?
Tell me the reason!
A pretext is never wanting. I had some reason.
Who in the right mind wouldn't appear at her own wedding?
Moreover, we got your parents' approval with difficulty.
Why wouldn't I have wanted to appear?
So tell me the reason!
Again, I had as much hard time as you.
Perhaps, I felt more miserable than you.
Isn't it a comfort to you?
You didn't come alone, did you?
Was the call from the woman you came with?
Your girlfriend?
It's none of your business.
Having a girlfriend means you forgot about me.
Go back to her when you have no leftover feelings for me.
So you're not going to tell me the reason, huh?
Please get out. I have to pack up.
Alright. Let's forget all about it.
Oh, that lady?
She wanted to get changed so I took her to her room.
I told you.
I had as much hard time as you for the past 10 years.
Aren't you going to tell me where you were?
I got some fresh air.
Seems you said goodbye to your mother's hometown.
I should've come with you.
Let's go.
Let's hurry.
I don't want to be late for the first family dinner...
...and lose their favor.
I had an accident the day before our wedding.
And I woke up only to hear I couldn't walk again.
That's why I couldn't go to you.
Why? Do you know her?
No. Let's go.
Here are your vegetables.
These are organic food. Help yourself.
Can I have a refill?
Okay. One second!
I'll do it. Have a little rest.
With the customers in groups, it's so hectic.
Be thankful. We are unaffected by the recession.
We'd better keep ourselves busy not to lose the job.
I know. I have no worries these days.
Mom!
Yes, why?
I got a job!
Oh, thank God!
I just had an interview. I can start working from next week.
So you got a job as a cosmetic surgery coordinator?
Yes. The director praised my Chinese.
Oh, I'm so proud of you.
What is the name of the hospital?
Myongjin Clinic. It's a big clinic in Chongdamdong.
The director is very handsome.
Really? Oh.
You deserve to eat beef. Sit at a table over there.
Dongu is a good guy. I can't hurt him for my interest.
Dongu, just beg for forgiveness.
Aunt Yangsoon said she allowed you since you are nice,
...so if you play hard to get, it'll be the end.
Youngu, you are happy when Esol is happy, right?
Of course.
Good. Me too.
You came home early.
Why didn't you answer the phone? Are you still mad?
I'll make you dinner. Let's make up.
Can we talk?
What is it?
Esol, you know I really like you, don't you?
I do.
You're still mad about the other day.
Dongu, I'm detaching myself from him.
So trust me and wait a little.
You don't have to. I'll let you go.
Whenever I see you, I'm reminded of him.
You can't go with two guys.
Dongu.
I'll quit the boyfriend job as of today.
Instead,...
...go back to Jaejoon.
I can't give you up to anybody else but him.
Stick to him till the end.
Do or die.
If you can't have your way after all, you'll have no regret.
Then you'll be able to forget about him.
Why bother making dumplings? We can get a take-out.
This is to discipline Lena Jeong.
"Watch how we make food with our utmost sincerity.
Learn from us."
But she's a chef.
Oh, right! My goodness, I totally forgot it.
Maybe we need Plan B.
Minjoon loves dumplings. Just do it.
Okay.
Jaejoon, why are you so quiet?
Huh? Well...
I heard from Dr. Choi. You had a great time with Yura, huh?
Good. Time with your love will help you get well soon.
Right.
Hi, Mother!
Hi, sweetie! What is this?
I made kimchi at a cooking class.
I brought some for you.
Seems you've geared up for joining our family.
Jaejoon likes watery kimchi. Thanks.
Look! Take it to the maid.
Yes.
Now?
Esol is home now.
Hold onto her now before I change my mind.
Thank you, Dongu. I'll be right there.
This is Esol's new number.
Jaejoon?
I'm coming to you now.
Where are you?
I'm near your house but the road is closed for construction.
I'll be right there. Please wait a little.
No, I'll come your way. Stay put. I'll be right there.
We're sorry the road is under construction. Back up, please.
Where is Jaejoon?
He doesn't even show up when they are back?
He had a headache so he went out for air.
Such a chronic weakling. When on earth will he get well?
Honey, they're keeping on their legs.
Oh.
Father, Mother, we had a good trip thanks to you.
Let us make a deep bow.
It's okay. You must be tired. Let's have seats.
Yes.
So how was your trip?
Isn't it obvious?
They insisted on marriage so they must've had a great fun.
Right.
It was a very meaningful trip to his mother's hometown.
Was it? That's good.
I think she was very glad...
...to have such a clever daughter-in-law.
Father, he was concerned about the company on our honeymoon.
His dismissal can't be reversed?
No. But you'll be assigned to a new franchise.
It hasn't settled down yet, so the sales are low.
Work in the field? I see.
Then please let me work with him as a manager.
I will assist him to increase sales up to the No.1 spot.
Please, Father.
My, can't believe this.
Instead of learning the family tradition,
...she's trying to boss around the company!
Grandmother, it's not that.
Lena, let's talk about it later.
Well, I just want to take charge of it as an apology.
Father, please let me.
I'll appreciate it if you can do that but...
...I'll decide the matter at a meeting.
Thank you, Father.
You don't look well, Minjoon.
Something happened on your honeymoon?
No, nothing.
No? Alright then.
You must be tired. Go upstairs for a rest.
Lena, I need to talk to you.
Have a seat.
Do you have something to tell me?
Just to remind you of this.
As clearly written here, you are not legally married yet.
In case you do harm to this family within one year,
...you agreed to leave us.
Right. So?
You should know where to draw the line.
No one in this family accepts you as our family member.
And you know the reason.
With your cunning tricks, you made us allow your marriage,
...but you are not one of us yet.
Not yet?
It means you can accept me, depending on how I behave.
It also means the opposite.
So don't push yourself forward to get on my nerves.
If you think you can win the chairman over to your side,
...you're wrong.
He believes me though I say the crow is white.
So you mean, I'd better crawl to you?
That'll make your life easy. Understood?
Isn't it impossible?
What?
Like knows like.
We know each other, so how can we like each other?
So I'm going to please someone...
...whom Father loves as much as you.
It is his eldest son his old, faithful wife gave birth to.
If I assist Minjoon with my best and make him succeed,
...Father will accept me into his family within 6 months, right?
You think so?
Well, go ahead then.
You believe you captivated Minjoon's heart.
Will it continue to repose in you?
I'll lay a wager on "No."
Again, I had as much hard time as you.
Perhaps, I felt more miserable than you.
This is Jisoo. Can you come over here now?
Minjoon.
[Subtitles provided by MBC]
I haven't forgotten you for the past 10 years.
He said he hadn't heard of her for 10 years.
How does she happen to be here?
It feels like we went back to old days.
Are you bent on extorting money? Get out of here!
Get off of me!
Get out!
Honey!
Then why do you still keep this photo?
Satisfied now?
If you are by my side, I can get over any illness.
