Whoa!
Y-you okay, sir?
Man, that guy came out of nowhere! I should chase him down..!
Hold on. Sheesh.
Sir!
You didn't finish your drink? I'm so sorry, sir.
- Your expensive suit..! - It's fine. It's okay.
- Of all the... - Mr. Ju.
- Yes, sir. - I'll drive from here. Take a taxi.
I don't usually make mistakes like this.
Don't worry about it. Go home and I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
C'mon Bi-an. Let's go.
There we go.
Goodbye, sir. I'll see you tomorrow.
Bi-an, I can't believe you... totally helped me earn some extra cash.
We're splitting this 50-50. You spilled, but I braked.
Let's go eat something delish. What are you craving?
Off we go!
- Mother. Let's go home. - Huh?
- C'mon, let's go home. - Eh? Who are you?
- It's me, mother. - Hey, it's Jeong-woo.
It's my poor baby, my poor Jeong-woo.
- Mother... - Calm her down and get her out quietly.
- Mother, can you stand up? - Oh dear.
My poor, poor Jeong-woo.
Such a sad fate, a tragedy. All thanks to that wife of yours.
You gonna live your life without any children?
The joys of marriage lasts only so long.
The real joy comes from watching your child grow up.
From holding your child close and feeling his warmth.
Why are you denied the one thing allowed to everyone else?
Is this truly your fate?
Take good care of her. Goodbye.
How can I go on? Oh, merciful God!
- Oh Lord... - Please stop... Mother!
Will you please stand up?
What's this? You feeling overly empathetic?
Shin-woo.
Na-kyeong can't have children.
An entirely different case from someone who doesn't want children.
Good night.
Hyeong-woo. Sleep in the bed.
I am not a bad husband. I am a good husband.
You're a good husband, even if you sleep in the bed.
Your back will hurt. Get into the bed.
Hyeong-woo...
Look at me.
Fine, I won't tell you to sleep in the bed.
Did you feel neglected because I didn't spend much time with you?
Yes. I felt very neglected.
I'm not surprised.
There's something I didn't tell you.
Remember the little boy from my mother's birthday dinner?
Bi-an.
Bi-an is dirty.
He's not. He was in pain.
He can't wash well because he has scars on his body.
Until he heals...
I'll need some more time.
So please be patient with me. It won't take long.
Eun-young, Bi-an is great at blowing bubbles.
You're right. He is.
Oh, I kept you up past your bedtime with my chatter.
Good night.
- Good night. - Thanks.
- To what do I owe this pleasure? - We're talk inside.
Sit. Want some coffee?
What's the big idea?
I told you, I don't want to share you with anyone.
So you want me to get another divorce?
It's not like you love your husband. You're not happy with him at all.
I'm just speeding up the inevitable.
Who says I'm not happy?
You've never once looked or acted happy since we've been reunited.
I didn't imagine all that.
You listen to me good.
I'm the only one who can make you happy.
- Because I know you best. - You're wrong.
That's what I thought, too.
That you were the only one who understood and knew the real me.
But you've just proven that you're not.
You think I'll go back to you if I were to divorce my husband?
In your dreams. No, not even in your dreams.
Why's that?
Afraid your father will once again shave your head and disown you?
Don't worry. We'll go where he can't find us.
I won't let you go hungry.
I'm no longer that poor student who couldn't face your father.
Nope. From where I stand, you're still that guy.
The same cowardly Min-je my father brought home when you were 11.
You haven't changed at all.
Let's keep this short.
What are you going to do? Tell me up front.
It boils down to one thing.
I'll either leave you for good... or have you for myself.
That's no choice at all.
Until now you kept breaking up with me.
But not today. Today, I end things.
Goodbye.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't do it anymore. It hurt too much.
But I couldn't bear to leave you first.
Forgive me.
Ugh, my head. It's throbbing.
How's that hangover? Take this before breakfast.
Don't need it. Take it and leave.
I'm so sorry, mother. I didn't intend to lie to you from the start.
Think I'll believe that when even sis knew while I didn't?
What's that?
Didn't intend to lie to me from the start?
You're quite the fox, aren't you?
I did it because I wanted to be your daughter-in-law.
I wanted to be Jeong-woo's wife.
Come again?
I didn't think you'd accept me if you knew the truth.
I know what I did was wrong. Please forgive me.
Fine, I'll be frank.
You're a perfect daughter-in-law in every other way.
So let's give it another try.
If youre friend can't help, I'll find someone who can.
If that doesn't work, we'll try everything we can for a miracle.
If you can't make it, I can take him.
No, I'll be there.
You can't come out every time. Your family won't like it.
I'll get permission so don't worry.
Bye.
Hyeong-woo.
Bi-an is dirty because he is in pain.
Must be patient until he is healed.
That's absolutely right. I'll be home soon.
You'll be okay on your own?
What bomb are you gonna drop now?
Until when are you gonna bum around? Study here if you're not going abroad.
Studying's not my forte. Head's not too bright, you see.
Studying is a waste of money.
Then start work at the department store.
I'm so not interested.
Then get married. Want me to set something up?
Now you're one of those mothers?
I'm not like Hyeong-woo. You don't need to baby me.
That mouth of yours...
Excuse me.
Hello? Yes, this is she.
What? Are you serious?
Thank you so much. Oh, of course.
Thank you. Goodbye.
What was that about?
See, I can take care of myself.
I got a job.
Where?
An ad agency.
That wasn't even your major.
I'm the photographer... or will be someday.
For now, the assistant.
Photography is a hobby.
This is your cue to say, Wow, I'm proud of you. Congratulations."
That's what mothers do. I'm telling you for future reference.
You going out again?
You're a social butterfly, if ever I saw one.
Go to your room.
- Mother, I... - It's okay. Go out.
- It won't take long. I'll be back soon. - Alright.
Drive carefully. The roads are slippery.
I will.
She just left. Make sure she doesn't see you.
Na-kyeong?
- Gosh, where'd she go again..? - Mother, did you call for me?
You on your way out or in?
I just stepped out for a moment.
Next time get my permission. I'm the head of this family.
Yes, mother, I will. I thought you were taking a nap.
Did you have something to say to me?
Never mind. I see you're too busy to bother with little ol' me.
Well, I have something to say.
Um...
This is...
I got you a membership at the fitness center you wanted to join.
We can go exercise together.
So, your usual solution, is it? Well, I refuse.
But mother...
I'm only accepting it because it'll be a waste if I don't use it.
Don't think that I forgave you.
I won't, mother.
- Hey, Ju-young. - Whatcha up to?
Wanna grab lunch?
Can't. My mother-in-law's in a foul mood.
At times like these I wonder where your temper went.
I have some news that'll make you feel better.
Do all doctors have a lot of free time like you?
This neighborhoods like that. Leisurely and full of gossip.
What's the good news?
Your ex-husband broke up with that longtime woman of his.
Good riddance. He deserves it after how he treated you because of her.
Don't ever mention that man to me again.
I could care less if he dies. Talk to you later.
Welcome.
Here you go.
What perfume are you wearing? It smells fantastic....ugh...
- What the... - The lockers are that way. Go on.
Ew. Not in front of the customers.
I didn't do it on purpose. She was reeking...
She's acting like she's the first to ever get pregnant.
I hear morning sickness can go on for months.
Maybe we should brew her a health tonic.
Mom, dad, I'm here.
- Hey. - Hi, Bi-an. How are you?
You got permission from your mother-in-law?
Of course I did.
- Man the counter. - You going, too?
Just for today. She doesn't even know which hospital.
I'll be back later.
No need for that. Go straight home from there.
I'm going straight home, too. You wrap things up here.
I'll take care of it.
Bi-an, see you later.
Say goodbye to grandpa.
- That's my boy. - C'mon, let's go.
Feelin' good?
I asked if you're feeling good.
I deserve a free drink for this.
- What's going on? - I finally found something.
- On Manager Han? - Yes.
You were right.
He's been having an affair with the secretary for the past 4 years.
I feel for the poor sap who just married her.
She needed a good front, I guess.
Boy am I glad I never got married.
Women can be frightening.
Shall I call Manager Han?
No, not yet.
- I'll take things from here. - Alright.
And you never saw this info. You catch my drift?
What info? It's gone already.
Good work.
Looks good.
We'll go golfing when the weather gets warmer.
- Sure, sounds good. - Oh, hello.
I want you to plan a basic schedule for my mother-in-law here.
Might as well go for the gold. None of this "basic" stuff for me.
Your personal trainer will take care of everything.
- I'll be over there. - Gotcha.
- This way, please. - Coming.
Long time no see.
Hello.
Who's that? She's not the Dream In chairwoman.
I heard you married the chairwoman's eldest son.
Went to live in England for several years, right?
I was on my way out. Excuse me.
Na-kyeong.
It was nice seeing you.
Huh? Na-kyeong!
Where is she going?
Hold on one sec.
Who's that?
- Hello? - Where are you?
I'm sorry. I suddenly had a massive migraine.
- I'm... - A sudden migraine?
Yeah. I guess I've been a little stressed these days.
Stressed? 'Cause of me?
Not at all.
You have no right to resent me. Anyone would've reacted the way I did.
I completely agree. It's not because of you. I swear.
Alright. Go on home. I'll finish up here on my own.
No!
Let's just go home together. It's way too cold, and...
Actually, I'll sign you up at a better fitness center than this place.
But I like it here. My friend's joining tomorrow, too.
He is doing much better, but he's still nervous and afraid inside.
He won't show it easily.
But if something reminds him of the past, he could suddenly act out.
Will he get better with time?
He will.
What he needs right now isn't medicine. It's constant love and care.
What's your relationship with Bi-an?
I'm his mother.
What did she say? Bi-an's gonna get all better, right?
That's what she said.
You've been so good you deserve reward. Have you thought about what you want?
Go ahead and tell her. It's okay. She's got tons of money.
Wanna go on a picnic.
You do? Then let's go. Where to?
Nowhere in particular?
Where have you been that you remember?
I've never been on a picnic.
I see.
Well, we'll go a lot starting now.
He's not gonna go with you. Your father and I will take him. Let's go.
One, two!
Alright! Three!
There you go!
You're stronger than you look.
Ya see, when I was back in the States, my hobby was... working out.
I see.
- Anyway, thank you. - No prob.
Where'd you live in the States?
Um... Yeah....
The city of angels. LA! You know?
LA?
That's where I studied, too. I just came home last month.
I'm so glad to meet someone from the same town.
What a coincidence.
Hi, John!
What are you still doing here? Go home.
- Is he asleep? - Yeah.
The hospital visit must've really tired him out.
He was already asleep when he hit the pillow.
Mom.
What are you going to do with him?
Why's that any of your concern? Forgot you signed a contract already?
I haven't forgotten.
He's already seven. He has to enroll in school next year.
Your father and I are discussing it.
Adopting him got a little iffy with Bo-young pregnant and all.
Worst comes to worst, we'll register him as your father's son.
No way! He can't be my brother.
You have a brighter idea? Wanna add him as your son?
End of discussion.
- But mom... - Go home already.
And don't come back if you're gonna talk nonsense.
I heard you married the chairwoman's eldest son.
Went to live in England for several years, right?
She got me the membership so I'd take care of my health.
No, there's no special occasion.
She's smart and knows how to please her elders.
What's wrong?
You husband won't pay for it?
You have three rich daughter-in-laws. This is the time to take advantage.
Alright, call me later with results.
Seems the tables have turned.
My next victim.
- What is it? - I need to go out.
The hospital?
Yes, I think I'd better.
Go on then.
I'll be back soon.
Is she ill?
Or just pretending to win my sympathy?
- A little boy? - Might be her sister's boy.
Eun-young went to drive them to the hospital.
Is that so?
She never mentioned a nephew before.
Alright. Watch her for a few more days.
Yes, ma'am.
Come in.
- I'm home. - Hey.
Is it cold outside?
It's bearable with the car and all.
Right.
By the way, does your sister have a kid?
- She's actually pregnant right now. - Is she now?
I know she's been married a long time. That baby took a while in coming.
She waited on purpose. She was too young before.
I see.
I did hear that these days young people have kids according to a schedule.
- Go on up, Hyeong-woo's waiting. - Yes, mother.
Mother, thank you.
For what?
For accepting me as I am, however imperfect.
I'm not sure if I deserve that thanks, but I'm glad to hear you think so.
I'll head upstairs.
You do that.
Stay still, please.
No food for you if you move.
Eun-young!
Whatcha doing?
Wow, they look so life-like.
What can't you do?
I cleaned the room on my own.
I put everything back into the fridge when I was done eating.
And I can eat on my own, too.
Great.
Let's see.
One, two, three.
Here you go.
One, two, three. I did well today.
That's right.
You put on lotion by yourself and you can eat by yourself.
And you're no longer afraid of people.
And you have a family that loves you, right?
Yup.
And you can keep doing things on your own even if I'm not here, right?
Will you...
please let me go, Hyeong-woo?
