Ma'am?
Who do you think you are?
I'm fine. Bring a new glass of water.
Yes, ma'am.
The robber is back!
The robber is back. She is back.
That's not something you should say to mom's guest.
Go to your room and listen to music. That's a good boy.
Hyeong-woo is a good boy. A robber is not good.
Don't say that to mom's guest. Go to your room.
Okay.
That half-wit with my daughter? How dare...
Please calm yourself.
I guess the rich don't lose their temper like us poor folk.
I can excuse you for lying to me, I can see you had no choice.
But now you've persuaded my daughter to marry that son of yours?
Don't even think about it.
It isn't worth much because of the mortgage.
But it'll pay for the surgery.
So don't meet my daughter anymore.
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
Come again?
Both Eun-young and Hyeong-woo are both adults.
They don't need your permission to marry.
How dare you...?
You think I can't do anything because you're a great chairwoman?
What do you think you're doing?
- Mom, who's this crazy woman? - Go to your room. We'll talk later.
Your daughter? What perfect timing. Let me ask you then.
Would you marry your precious daughter to a man who can't tell left from right?
Of course you wouldn't.
You're not the only mother here who cares for her child.
I may be poor and stupid, but I'm a mother, too!
I'll say it one more time.
Never show your face to my daughter again.
What's going on? What did you do this time?
Tell Ahn I want him here. Now.
Yes, ma'am.
You need to come here now.
- My brother's getting married? - Yeah.
He totally fell for the nurse who took care of him.
Are they after more money? Her parents keep showing up in turns.
This isn't the first time?
When her father showed up...
your mom got on her knees!
You screwed up!
Why do they still have this deed?
I told you to make sure the house ended up at a foreclosure auction!
The buyer has already been set and the executor is gonna visit them soon.
I'm sorry.
- Make sure it goes through today. - Yes, ma'am.
Where's Jeong-woo?
We lost contact with him as well as his friend Jeong Hyeon-woo.
That idiot. Leave me.
Na-kyeong.
- Where are you going? - The bookstore real quick.
Are you clueless or just pretending to be?
What upset you this time?
Going to the bookstore when we haven't heard from Jeong-woo?
It hasn't even been a day.
Except he ran out this morning as pale as a ghost.
I'm sure everything's fine.
Aren't you the optimist.
Stop by the dept. store while you're out.
- Why? - I've got a bad feeling.
Something terrible happened, I'm sure.
We should wait.
It's his personal project and people will talk if we get involved.
Good point. Go on then.
Geez, you could make a hole in the wall with that glare.
Explain yourself and the bags. What are you doing here?
Gosh, at least pretend you're glad to see me after 3 years, will ya?
Answer my question!
I was just gonna.
Suddenly I absolutely loathed studying and missed my family like crazy.
So I packed and came.
- Kang Shin-woo. - I'm serious.
I thought I would die if I spent another day there.
Fine. Take a few days off before going back.
I came back permanently.
If you force me to go back, I'll just fly right back out.
Ahn will buy your return ticket. I need to rest. Leave.
Our chair-mom hasn't changed a bit.
Rest up.
Isn't this room great?
Dr. Han likes me so much he let us use it.
It's usually empty.
And he'll let us pay for the surgery in installments like last time.
Why so quiet?
Are you comfortable? Should I call the doctor?
You're just lacking energy right now. You'll be fine soon enough.
Go to sleep then. I'll stop by later when I'm free.
Do you know a Kang Shin-woo?
Is she someone's guardian?
No clue.
She's waiting for you at the hospital coffee shop.
Are you Seo Eun-young?
Who...?
The name's Kang Shin-woo. Kang Hyeong-woo's younger sister.
Hello.
I could've visited you at home if you'd called ahead.
I heard you were studying abroad. I didn't realize you came home.
Of course you didn't. I landed in Korea just 5 hours ago.
I'll keep it short, seeing how you're in the middle of work.
Wh-what are you doing?
Wow, this is the first time I've ever done anything like that before.
Look here...
You a gold-digger?
Not that it really matters.
I think we've given you enough to stop pushing for this marriage.
Why do you look so victimized?
You feel you deserve more money?
No, I received enough. More than enough.
And I'll keep taking whatever your mother gives me.
Wow, you're worse than I expected.
You naturally blunt? Or do you have no pride?
I guess you can say both.
Let's make a deal.
You walk away now and keep the money you've already got.
The marriage won't last long anyway. No need to create messy paper trails.
Thank you for your concern.
But you can't convince me to quit this marriage.
Hyeong-woo and I are adults.
We don't need you to decide our marriage matters for us.
I find your rude actions neither understandable nor forgivable.
But I'll let it slide because there seems to be a misunderstanding.
You can hate me all you want, but we're going to be family soon.
Heck no.
Family members can't be bought.
Make your decisions wisely.
Or else you just might lose everything you've gained so far.
That took longer than I said it would.
Sorry for that.
Why are you sitting here with that blank expression?
Mom, where did you go?
Just wandered here and there to clear my thoughts.
That's good.
Why do you look so down?
I'm not. I'm perfectly fine.
Don't worry. I took care of everything.
Took care of what?
I turned their house upside down.
Threw water in that haughty woman's face.
Now I feel like I can breathe.
Mom!
You know she has a normal daughter?
And still she tries to pull this scam over you?
Why did you do that?
Then should I let my daughter be swallowed alive?
You shouldn't have.
You should've trusted me and my decision.
Why do you get weepy whenever we talk about them?
What's with her?
Hey, go home and rest. You're clearly lacking sleep.
- Hello, ma'am. - How are you?
Here, I chose a cake I like so I'm not sure you'll like it.
Thank you.
President Kang is on a business trip.
I stopped by to ask if you have the number of the hotel he's staying at.
I'm sorry, but I don't know it. We're waiting for his call, too.
You don't know which hotel he's staying at?
It isn't an official trip, and he left so suddenly.
I understand.
By the way, I have a favor to ask.
Anything, ma'am.
The next time you buy clothes for my husband,
keep his position and lifestyle in mind, not your personal taste.
He's never had me run such an errand, but I'll keep that in mind if he ever does.
Ah, I guess he wouldn't ask you in the first place.
Not unless he spills coffee.
He's so neat and clean he never spills anything.
You're right. Take care.
Goodbye.
What are you wearing?
I spilled coffee all over.
So you bought new clothes?
My secretary did.
Where'd you put the clothes?
I told her to throw it away. Clothes you don't wear is just junk.
Who said you could throw it away? It's my clothes, not yours.
- Where's mother? - She went out.
She's eating out.
- What do you plan to do with that? - You told me to throw it out.
Don't. Wash it nice and clean and hang it up in the closet.
Excuse me?
Hello, mother.
Hi.
I just heard. I didn't realize she went there.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be. It actually lightened the burden on my shoulders.
- I'm sorry. - Tell me now if you want to stop.
I don't. I expected this much.
I'm stronger than I look.
That's good.
Hyeong-woo's sister is back.
I see.
I don't know how long she's staying, but you two should at least meet.
Are you free tomorrow?
Yes, I'll go there in the evening.
We'll have dinner and tell everyone about the marriage.
Sounds like a plan.
Where were you?
Me? I went hunting only to have the prey kick me in my face.
Pow! It surprised me.
Tsk, tsk, always so violent.
Make something good tomorrow. Eun-young's coming over for dinner.
Yes, ma'am.
That woman agreed to come?
Don't call her "that woman". She's your future sister-in-law.
Mind your manners tomorrow.
Yes, chair-mom.
Another kick to the face.
What was that?
It's nothing.
Hello?
Why, hello, mother.
Shin-woo's in town? Of course we'll go.
- You should know before you come. - What is it?
Hyeong-woo and Nurse Seo are getting married.
We'll announce it officially tonight.
Oh, congratulations.
Tell your mother-in-law to watch her tongue.
Or better yet, stay home.
I'll make sure she understands.
Goodbye.
Was that Jeong-woo?
- No, Hyeong-woo's mother. - Did she hear from Jeong-woo?
She called to say that Hyeong-woo and that nurse are getting married.
Wh-what? I thought she had a boyfriend.
I'm sure there's an explanation.
Explanation, my arm. She was after money from the start.
This is the line.
A slip of tongue like that later, and she'll never forgive you.
I'm not a complete idiot.
Lunch is ready. Let's eat.
She's always lecturing me. You're not the mother-in-law here!
Oh, Jeong-woo.
- Have some of this. - Shall I ready the tea?
Not yet. Where's Shin-woo?
It's way past noon. This a habit you picked up in the US?
Cut me some slack. It's jet lag.
Good morning, Hyeong-woo.
You say that in the morning. Right now it would be "good afternoon."
So it is. My bad.
Good afternoon.
You did well.
He's getting better every day.
Here.
Let him eat on his own.
Mind your own business.
A mother-in-law who still hand-feeds her son.
Who'd want to marry into that?
I'll say it once more. Treat Eun-young with respect.
Keep this up and we'll see what happens.
Thank you very much for the meal.
Delish.
Good evening.
We've already heard. Congratulations.
- Thank you. - Had us on strings, didn't you?
Telling us you had a fiance.
Mother.
I'm sorry.
I do understand.
As I'm sure you already know, Dream In is a sizeable, wealthy company.
Everyone must be waiting for us. Let's go inside, mother.
Please don't take it personally. She's venting her anger on you.
It's okay.
I'm on your side so don't give up.
- Come on up already. - Coming!
Let's go in.
- How'd you end up coming in together? - We met out front.
Congratulations, sis.
I could tell from the start that she was meant to join our family.
Welcome.
I got the impression you like roses.
Thanks for remembering.
Where's Hyeong-woo?
He fell asleep watching a movie.
You've never met, right? This is Hyeong-woo's sister.
Say hello.
Hello, I'm Seo Eun-young.
Nice to meet you. I'm Kang Shin-woo.
Nice to meet you.
How strange. Didn't we meet yesterday? Why pretend not to know me?
Um, what's this about?
How did you two meet?
Isn't it obvious?
I went to see the daughter-in-law who's been preoccupying my mother.
She came to see me yesterday.
Oh. So go ahead and take a seat.
- Eun-young, can I have a private word? - Sure.
- You came home yesterday? - Yup.
Then you should've come to me to pay your respects.
Lady, you haven't changed a bit.
Make yourselves at home.
Th-that little... who does she...
Mother, let it go.
Ugh, seriously!
She's a bit undisciplined. You'll have to understand.
Don't worry about it.
An early wedding present.
The apartment deed I gave to your mother but she returned it.
The other is the deed to a sauna next to our dept. store.
I can't accept these.
Don't refuse.
If the breadwinner marries, what are the parents to do?
You'll constantly be uneasy even after marrying.
But this is...
I'm not hesitant to introduce you to others ecause I already think of you as family.
I hope you feel the same.
Mother.
I don't expect anything from you.
If you want, hold onto it and give it to them after the wedding.
I can't believe this.
How could they treat us like crooks?
What now?
Everyone knows the Dodo deal completely fell through.
It's not over yet.
Jeong-woo...
It's Jeong-woo, ma'am.
Hey.
I was just thinking how unfortunate it is that you're not here.
Come here. Hyeong-woo's wife-to-be is here.
That my President Son?
Yeah, he just landed. He'll join us for dinner.
That's great. He was curious about his future sister-in-law.
I should wake Hyeong-woo. Else he won't sleep at night.
Why not let Eun-young wake him?
Good idea.
- Can you go wake him? - Sure, I'll do it.
What's the use of cleaning when it's not my house anymore?
Mom, you were home?
Why didn't you stay at the hospital?
He goes to the bathroom on his own and doesn't say a word to me.
I'll go back after I change.
You seem peppier, cleaning and all.
- Did you see your sister? - She left as soon as I arrived.
- Where'd she go? - Who knows?
Is that her?
Who is it?
Excuse you!
- This the home of Seo Ho-gu? - Yes, but who...?
Stick 'em.
Oh no!
Wh-what do you think you're doing?
You didn't know? This house has gone into foreclosure.
M-mom!
- Mom, are you okay? - Ma'am, you alright?
Mom!
You're very interesting.
You seemed so bold yesterday, yet so quiet and gentle today.
Are they both you? Or is one an act?
If those are the impressions you got, they must both be real.
That's called being two-faced.
Or maybe it's a case of multiple personalities?
I didn't know my mother came here yesterday.
I understand you were offended.
I apologize for her.
Well, I'm not sure that you didn't know.
The two of you might be in on it together.
Shin-woo...
I'm sure you're not here to see me.
I came to wake your brother.
Hello?
Sis, something terrible happened!
What is it?
Why are you alone?
Something's happened at home.
Why? What is it?
I'll explain later.
Take my car. Mr. Ahn is outside.
I can grab a cab.
Just do as I say.
Thank you then.
Seems something bad happened.
Sis, weren't you too easy on her?
Take Eun-young home.
Easy?
She ran out on us like we're unimportant and didn't gather here for her.
Didn't even bother to tell us why.
Didn't you see how frightened she was?
Why isn't Jeong-woo here yet?
