Dal Ja's Spring
Let go.
Didn't I tell you not to try too hard?
What?
There's no need to be a superwoman for me.
I just like you the way you are.
Close to you like this, kissing you,
And holding you tightly in my arms.
How could you do this?
Can you just get over it so easily?
Are we talking about someone else?
We're talking about our baby in your womb now.
Do you want me to give birth, then bring it up?
You don't have that confidence too, right?
You're not thinking of that, are you?
How do you know me so well? Are you a roundworm in my stomach?
At the very least, I know you don't want this baby.
And...
You don't love me enough to want this baby.
What?
If you want me out of here, I'll go.
Say it before I count to 3.
If you don't object before I count to 3, I'll take it that you agree.
One...
Two...
Three...
Episode 15
Don't you want any breakfast?
To eat or not?
I'm off to work.
To work or not?
Oh dear me!
Such an old photo yet he keeps it close by.
What are you doing?
Oh! I'm sending this over to Dal Ja.
Sending these dishes over to her?
Yes, I'll tidy up her place too.
I'll be back before the shop opens at noon.
Oh, alright.
Don't hit her, granny.
No, you don't go.
You can't go.
What?
Oh! I told you not to go so don't go.
From now on, there's no need to go to Dal Ja's house.
Oh! Why, granny?
Dal Ja's all grown up now.
When are you going to stop taking care of her like a child?
Don't do any more of that now.
Either she cooks herself,
or if she wants, she should come over to get the food herself.
That's too much trouble for her.
I'll just go over and stock up her fridge.
If you keep spoiling her like this, how will she ever get married?
She's so precious that you worry about her everything.
That's why kids these days have no perseverance.
Going back to their mothers over small matters.
Calling up their own mothers over small things.
Since she's independent now, she should get those dishes done herself.
Do you understand?
Well, since I've prepared everything, I'll just drop it off for today.
Dal Ja's mom!
Are you ignoring the words of your mother-in-law?
You're not allowed to go so don't go.
Don't make me say it a second time.
Do you understand?
But, why is she like this all of a sudden?
She's really weird.
Aigoo! My heart's beating so fast.
It's really not easy to tell a lie.
Did you sleep well?
Since when did that guy stand there?
I asked if you slept well.
What?
Not bad. I slept like a pig.
Ah! I'm going to be late for work.
I'd better get going.
It's another hour and a half till the time you leave for work.
Well... well...
I may have lots of work to do today so I'd better leave early.
I'll leave now.
Unni!
Dal Ja, you're here?
- Having breakfast? - Yes.
Where's your husband?
He went home to wash up.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Well, I was on my way to work and I thought I'd better check on you.
How are you feeling?
- I'm fine. - And the baby?
The baby's fine too.
Oh, that's great!
But, what's up with you?
What about?
For someone who usually sleeps in, you should be asleep at this hour.
But you're appearing here all dressed up.
Something must be going on.
Tell me, what is it?
What could it be?
I'm really here to see you.
Really?
Of course.
But, unni...
When was the first time you and your husband did it?
Was it before or after the wedding?
Before. I think it was 2 months before the wedding when we were on a trip...
Dal Ja...
Don't tell me...
You've crossed the line?
You did, right? Isn't that it?
Yes.
Are you sure you're the human Oh Dal Ja?
Or are you someone else wearing Oh Dal Ja's mask on the face?
It's me, alright.
And you even crossed the line?
Yes.
Oh my, oh my! You rascal!
This is a serious accident, a serious accident.
How could this happen? How could you, Oh Dal Ja?
You were drunk? Both of you were drunk, right?
No.
Then you were both sober?
No.
Did you or did you not drink before that?
We didn't drink but it didn't seem like we were sober too.
Oh my, oh my, oh my!
So how was it? Did you like it?
I don't know.
Well, it's just that other than banging around, I don't remember much.
Banging here...
Banging there...
Banging again!
Then...
Rascal! What a lucky girl!
Unni!
Hey, what's there to be shy about?
Needless to say, you're no longer a 23-year old.
You're already 33.
At this age, you should be thankful to Kang Tae Bong instead.
Did you know that?
What's up?
It didn't feel good? There wasn't that chemistry?
No.
Then why did you sigh?
What? What are you worried about?
That fella! He didn't say that line.
What line?
I love you, Dal Ja.
He didn't say that line?
There's surely something wrong in that, right?
Isn't it, unni?
Under normal circumstances, having spent the night together for the first time...
Isn't it the custom for that line to be said?
In the movies, all the male leads always said it.
That's true. Even my dumb husband said it to me too.
Maybe he thinks I'm too casual.
Or could it be he has lost that heart for me suddenly?
Don't they all say that when a man sleeps with a woman, his heart changes that very instant?
Hey! Not all men are like that.
Instead there are more of those who grow more in love because of it.
The problem is...
The problem is...?
How serious are you and Kang Tae Bong?
Indeed, I don't know a thing.
How serious is he about me?
Oh, why did I do it? Not even with any conclusive affirmation yet I...
I must be mad.
There's no need to sigh.
The game starts now officially.
No doubt it's important whether you slept with him or not.
But what's more important is how you react after the incident.
Your reaction will determine whether you're in control or not in the future.
Taking it deeper, it may forever affect the relationship between you and Kang Tae Bong.
Really?
Then what should I do, unni?
Act cool.
Cool?
If you keep pestering him because of what happened last night...
From that fella's standpoint, he will lose interest.
Men are always uninterested in women who keep pestering them.
I mustn't do that.
That's why you have to act cool.
As if nothing ever happened.
Take it calmly.
Do you get it?
Be cool. As if nothing ever happened. Stay calm.
Ok.
I'm back.
Huh?
Be cool. As if nothing ever happened. Stay calm.
Oh, you're back. A little late?
You must be tired. Wash up quickly then go and rest.
Why are you reading the papers all of a sudden? During mealtimes you should just eat.
Oh! There're news I need to catch up on.
What's wrong?
What about?
You behaving like this... Could it be due to that night you and I...
Oh dear!
Oh! How time flies!
I'm going to be late again. Late again. I'm late everyday.
Have a talk with me.
Oh, let's talk some other time.
I'm running late. I'll be late for work.
Then just be late for today.
Be cool. As if nothing ever happened. Stay calm.
Alright, I got it.
Go ahead. What did you want to say?
Since that night you've been acting strange, did you know that?
Me?
I haven't been any different.
Are you angry with me?
Or is there something you're not happy with?
Tell me. Tell me the reasons so I'll know.
Be cool. As if nothing ever happened. Stay calm.
Why should I be angry with you?
It's not like that.
Instead it's you who seem to mind what happened that night.
There's no need to.
It's not like our relationship will change suddenly just because of what happened that night.
You and I are both adults.
We should not feel burdened at all.
Do you mean that?
No.
Do you really mean that?
No.
Of course. I'm not a woman who can't let it go.
I'm past that age.
So don't mind too much what happened that night, ok?
I thought once a man appeared, my life would turn to spring.
But the winds of spring didn't blow and my heart is still cold.
Could it be the path of love is long and winding?
Damn!
Episode 15: Like Spring, Love Nourishes My Heart
Seon Joo! Seon Joo, it's me!
Seon Joo, aren't you home?
Seon Joo!
Wee Seon Joo?
Hello, hello!
What brings you here?
You can't be here specially to see my baby, right?
Well, I had to get something done at this hospital.
I had extra time so...
Oh, I see.
My Chan Hee has grown a lot, right?
Just a few days and he's grown so much fatter.
Every day is a new day and he keeps growing.
It's really amazing, right?
What's wrong? Is anything the matter?
No.
Please take care.
Chan Hee!
What? Seon Joo?
What time did you see her?
Right after I had lunch, I went to see the baby.
It's been 20-30 minutes, right?
Um... Got it. Let's hang up now.
What exactly is going on?
I'll tell you later, unni.
Why is it so strange?
Dal Ja, I was just looking for you.
Um... Did you see Seon Joo in the office today?
I went to her house but she wasn't home.
And she's not answering her calls.
There's no broadcast today so she may not be at the office but maybe...
Have you seen her?
I'm going to see Seon Joo now.
What?
Please lie down here.
Our meeting was fated
I fell deep in your love
My heart is numb with pain
But you want me to forget
What should I do?
I can't say I love you from the depths of my heart
I can't bury you deep within
My heart is all burned up
My eyes have gone blind
My throat has gone hoarse but it's alright
As long as I can cry out all I like
If my heart burning to ashes
Can exchange for an eternity with you
I'll be supremely happy
Hey, no matter how urgent it is,
can you drive a little slower?
We're starting with the anesthetic now.
One hour after the operation when the anesthetic wears off, you'll wake up.
Where is the operating theatre?
Excuse me, is there a surgery patient today by the name of Wee Seon Joo?
- Wee Seon Joo? - Yes.
Seon Joo.
Sae Do, what are you doing?
Follow her and take a look.
Why are you still here in a trance?
Sae Do.
How can you do this?
I don't know... I don't know what I can do for her.
Just go and be with her.
The person that Seon Joo needs the most now is Sae Do.
You know that too.
In her condition, are you just going to let Seon Joo go on her own?
Wait here for a while.
I'll get the car.
There's no need to.
I'll go on my own.
In your state now, how can you leave on your own?
I'll send you home, just wait a while.
I'll go by myself.
Listen to me for once.
Even if I'm an unreliable man who makes you feel insecure,
just do as I say this time.
How can you just do what you like from beginning to end?
As long as you feel good, it's alright?
Then what about me?
The one who's given it all to you, the one who's being dragged along...
We... should just break up.
It's too much for you.
And I'm very tired too.
Wee Seon Joo.
Having come so far, you've put in a lot of effort. Thanks.
So, let's just stop here.
The products for spring are very good and the anticipation level is high.
That's good.
Then please sit here for a while.
I'll return with the marketing plans for the spring products.
I understand.
Sung Yeon Suk, please make Rep Eom a hot cup of tea.
Yes, I understand.
Please sit over here.
What are you doing here again?
Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you.
I'm meeting Dal Ja for some business stuff.
Really.
The chocolates were very good.
That's good. I put my effort into them.
Rep Eom, this is the marketing plan.
I'll take it back for a look. Let's have a meeting about this next week.
Yes, I understand.
- Let's go. - Yes.
I'll see you off at the elevator. This way.
Oh? They've left already?
They're gone.
So slow to act. How will you be able to earn a living?
Rep Eom prefers his coffee black rather than the original flavor.
With his coffee, it's best to add almond-flavored chocolate.
I'm telling you this in case you didn't know.
Avoid carbonated drinks and juices high in sugar.
He only drinks fresh juices.
It won't be useless for you knowing all this, right?
Hey! Shin Sae Do!
Let's stop hitting.
It's been more than an hour.
The one who can best understand Wee Seon Joo now is you, isn't it?
But you're just being angry over here. Will that do?
Huh?
She said to break up. Are you really going to?
That woman really meant it.
So? Is this how it will end?
I've done everything I can.
I've screamed at her loudly, I've pestered her,
I've howled for her, I've hunted her down.
Nothing. I hit a wall.
A wall I can never get over - Wee Seon Joo.
So funny.
What have you done so far?
What have you done?
Have you held hands in the cinema?
Have you walked holding hands in the streets on a date?
You... How much of Seon Joo's life do you understand?
How much have you heard of her future plans?
You haven't done any of this. What have you been doing?
How can you say you've done everything?
Were you only good to her in bed?
Stop your pride in that.
To a woman, that's not all.
If only you could put in more effort,
will Seon Joo remain unmoved?
If, as a man, you gave her a little more security,
then will Seon Joo still be like she is now?
Ask yourself. Give it some thought.
What exactly are you hoping to get from Seon Joo?
What does Seon Joo want from you?
Although I said that to a friend,
but did I ever ask myself?
What am I expecting to get from that guy?
What is he hoping to get from me?
Hello. Dal Ja's Place.
Dal Ja? What's up at this hour?
What? Now?
Alright, I know.
Got it, hang up.
Dal Ja? What's up with her?
Well, today she needs to borrow Tae Bong for a day.
Dal Ja?
Me?
There seems to be something urgent at the office.
She wants you to go to her office.
Is that so? Urgent matters? That won't do.
Go! Go quickly.
But these things here aren't finished yet. How can I go?
Since it's a weekend, it'll be quiet anyway.
I'll be fine, just go.
Why aren't you leaving?
Yes.
So early in the morning. What's up?
I'm sorry.
But...
Can you give me one last chance?
Just today, can you spend the day with me?
Take it as a remembrance for our breakup.
Or take it as being merciful to me.
Just give me another chance today.
I'll be waiting...
till you come out.
I'll keep waiting till you come out.
Get in.
You said it was urgent. What's it about?
Nothing at all.
It's just that...
Suddenly I felt like a date with you.
Date?
Yes, a date.
Why a date all of a sudden?
It's just that... everyone else dates.
Catching a movie, eating a meal,
walking the streets holding hands, that kind of date.
We've been seeing each other for some time now.
But to date like how others do it...
We've not even done it once.
That's why...
Is it ok?
So I'm really playing truant today.
Let's go.
I really miss you
I keep remembering
You who are smiling so naively
Coming into my heart everyday
When that happens I can't help smiling
My heart surges
The warmth of the sun
My cold heart
Seems to have been melted by you
Oh sweet, sweet, sweet, my love
I think I'm in love with you, oh...
I want to tell you honestly that I love you
Let's go in.
Popcorn for me, please.
And a coke for me. You?
Soda.
Don't bother. I'll pay.
That guy is cute.
You like this kind of looks?
I don't think he's anything great.
Why?
Are you jealous?
Let me feel love, oh my baby
Hold me tight, my true love
I missed you for so long
Fly to my side
My destined one
Undying
My miracle love
Since I fell in love with you
I fell in love with a dream
Whenever I'm with you
I smile even when I'm in pain
Let me feel love, oh my baby
Hold me tight, my true love
I missed you for so long
Fly to my side
My destined one
Undying
My miracle love
This...
Seon Joo!
Seon Joo.
What are you doing?
Come over here.
Seon Joo.
Seon Joo, wait a while.
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Honestly, to say this directly is a little embarrassing for me.
If it's embarrassing then don't say it.
No.
I want to say it.
I'll say it.
If I don't say it now, I may not get another chance.
I'm sorry, Seon Joo.
I'm sorry to put you through all this on your own.
I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you.
Honestly speaking, I was considering only my own feelings and thoughts at that time.
Facing a situation like this so suddenly, I didn't know what to do.
I was really at a loss.
It's true I wanted to run away from the problem.
So...
I didn't have time to consider how you felt.
We're clearly adults. I'm a grown-up...
Yet I didn't act like one.
I'm sorry.
And...
Will you accept this?
This is not to make up for feeling responsible for you.
And it's also not because I feel sorry.
Purely, just purely...
Because of a heart full of love for you.
Can you accept it?
You can't?
Scram, scram! Scram!
My ring!
Looks like we're not meant to be.
Even the ring has flown away.
This surely is...
A sign for us not to be together.
- So... - Then...
If I find that ring...
That will be a sign for us to be together?
Is that it?
- Sae Do... - Got it.
You wait here for me.
Sae Do...
I'll find the ring. You don't go anywhere. Just wait here for me.
Sae Do...
Don't do this. You'll never find it.
How are you going to find it?
I'll find it. I will.
You're such a fool!
Why does it keep raining recently?
It doesn't look like it's going to stop.
I'll go buy an umbrella.
How about if we dash?
We'll get thoroughly wet in this rain.
Let's go.
Ok.
In a corner somewhere, with eyes closed and ears opened
Unknowingly, I stopped in that corner
Like magic, you appeared and smiled at me
I say I love you, all mine
You who only belong to me
I've waited for many moons
I say I love you, all mine
Oh baby, hold me now
You'll be with me
You're like a mouse which fell into water.
You're like a cat which fell into water.
Then aren't we...
Tom and Jerry!
Tom and Jerry?
Actually...
I was a little worried.
I was afraid you'd feel burdened...
Because of what happened that night.
I was afraid...
You'd think I was a loose woman.
I was afraid...
Your heart for me...
would grow cold.
So I purposely pretended to be cool.
But that was so hard to do.
Me too.
Actually, my heart was all confused.
Because you didn't want me to mind about that night.
I...
It's not that nothing happened for me.
Honestly speaking...
After that night, I like you even more.
Really?
I've no reason to feel burdened.
If I did, I wouldn't have barged into your room from the start.
This looks like spring showers.
Yes.
Seon Joo.
Wee Seon Joo... Where has she gone?
Wee Seon Joo!
I went to buy an umbrella. The rain is too strong.
Seon Joo.
See?
I told you it can't be found. Why go through all that trouble?
Now you're dirty and smelly and all drenched too.
You'll catch a cold. Let's go home.
I said I'd find it.
You really are a fool, you know!
I love you!
You're so stupid, you fool!
I love you, Wee Seon Joo.
Don't I stink?
You stink, you really do.
My eyes have gone blind
My throat has gone hoarse but it's alright
As long as I can cry out all I like
If my heart burning to ashes
Can exchange for an eternity with you
I'll be supremely happy
Fine, everyone's here.
From March this year...
I'm sorry, please continue.
From March this year, we'll start marketing new products for spring...
I'm sorry, please continue.
From March this year, we'll start marketing new products for spring...
Oh Dal Ja!
Shin Sae Do!
It's such an important meeting today, I shouldn't be chased out of it.
Just read the minutes later will do.
Go in and rest, my friend.
Yes, friend.
One hour after the operation when the anesthetic wears off, you'll wake up.
Wait a minute.
I don't think I'll go through with it, I'm sorry.
I wasn't going to believe in love any longer...
Why don't I... get cheated just once more?
Did you sleep well, father-in-law?
This is so frustrating. I can't go on living any longer.
Yeom Shin's temper is bad sometimes,
but she's not one to lie in bed for days like this.
You really don't know what this is about?
Yes, I don't know, father-in-law.
Don't you have any guesses at all?
No, none.
Then the reason must only be Tae Bong.
Don't you have a way of convincing him?
Don't you already know how stubborn he is?
His own mother is almost dying.
How can he pretend not to know?
Die? Who? Who is going to die?
Ahjumma! Give me rice.
Yes.
Daughter, are you done pretending to be sick?
Even if I go hungry,
it's only I who will go hungry, only I who will lose weight.
My husband is not going to pity me because of that alone.
My son will not bother too.
Also, if I die, they're all going to be happy.
That's right. Even if you're faking illness, you still must eat.
You must have strength to fake illness.
Ahjumma, what are you doing? Bring the rice here quickly.
My daughter is hungry.
Yes, eat just like this, like this.
Don't choke. Eat slowly.
I'm done so I'll go now, father-in-law.
Now you can't stand it even to eat with me?
How can you get up and leave when I've just sat down?
I'm going to work now.
So don't find fault with someone who's busy.
Finding fault? You said I'm finding fault?
What on earth is wrong with you?
Why do you leave me with no peace?
What on earth are you unhappy with?
Everything!
I'm unhappy with you,
I'm unhappy with Tae-Bong,
I'm unhappy with how I've lived my whole life.
Do you get it?
Is that so? That's something to be celebrated!
It's the first time both of us are of the same mind.
What?
Like you, I'm upset with the whole world.
Is that ok? Now you feel better?
How can he?
What have you done right that you're yelling at me?
Welcome.
Please sit down.
What would you like to eat?
Long time no see, Jung Jung Ae.
May I know who you are?
It's me, Yeom Shin. Sohn Yeom Shin.
Yeom Shin?
Don't you remember?
Don't tell me you're the Yeom Shin from that Man Duk ahjusshi's family? That Yeom Shin?
So you still remember.
Gosh! Oh dear me! How did you...?
Oh! It's been such a long time!
But have you gone under the knife quite a lot?
You look completely different!
Aigoo! Then you must have had a really hard time.
See all those wrinkles on your face. You must look at least 5 years older than you are.
Restaurant ahjummas are all like this.
Sit down quickly.
But how did you find me here?
I'll make it short.
Lately, have you been meeting up with my man?
Kang Soon Hong.
International University Chancellor.
He's also my husband.
Didn't you know?
A year after you jilted my husband,
he married me.
I didn't know. I see.
When was it you got attracted by a rich guy and jilted my husband?
Now you're starting to pester him again. What on earth are your intentions?
Why? Now that my husband is the chancellor,
you're salivating?
Yeom Shin, how can you say such things?
That's right! She's a chip off the old block!
What do you mean by that?
Don't you know?
Now your daughter is hooking up with my son, they're cohabitating.
May your business grow.
Dal Ja!
Tae Bong.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Perhaps you missed me so you skipped work and came for me?
No.
Because I have a cold so I left early.
I have a headache, runny nose and I'm sneezing like mad.
Then you should head for the clinic. What are you doing here?
At such a time, once I eat my mom's bean sprout kimchi porridge, I'll get well immediately.
So I came.
That famous bean sprout kimchi porridge?
Yes. That famous bean sprout kimchi porridge.
Let's go.
You're too much, saying all that!
You don't even know my daughter,
so you mustn't speak so carelessly, right?
Your daughter is Oh Dal Ja, age 33.
She worked at Handa Home Shopping for 8 years as a supervisor in the MD group.
You said I didn't know your daughter?
I don't know where you heard all this and why you're saying all this.
It's true. Kang Soon Hong did come here and we met a couple of times.
But that's all.
I've already told him not to come anymore.
It seems you're very unhappy over this matter.
But you still shouldn't be doing this.
For so many years we've not met. Then you suddenly appear and what rumor are you spreading?
How dare you spread rumors about my daughter?
Especially when she's still an unmarried daughter.
What if it's not a rumor but a real situation?
Sung Yeom Shin, you're really...
I saw it with my own eyes.
Your daughter seduced my son and the two of them entered that woman's apartment.
I saw it with my very own eyes.
What do you mean ‘that woman'?
How dare you throw your weight around here? So uncivilized.
You didn't know I was uncivilized?
I've always been culturally ignorant, didn't you know?
Why?
As time passed, have you forgotten it all?
Shall I trigger your memories?
Now, what... what are you doing?
I want to make you more clear-minded.
If I don't do this, will you and your daughter be more clear-minded?
Dal Ja's mom! What's all that noise?
All this... What's going on?
Mother-in-law, please go on inside. It's nothing.
Gosh! So this is Jung Ae's mother-in-law.
That's right.
Who are you?
Who on earth is daring enough to cause trouble here?
You're asking me why I'm causing trouble here?
Your daughter-in-law is having an affair with my husband.
Your granddaughter seduced my son and they're living together.
Can I not get mad now?
What? What did you say?
Yeom Shin, you're really not going to stop here?
I can't let it stop here. So what?
Mother and daughter joining forces to seduce my husband and son.
How can I just watch from the sidelines? How can I?
My goodness! What a precious son he is to me!
Such a precious son!
Master, I'm back with the sauce.
Mom, I'm here.
Gosh!
Tae Bong.
Mom.
Your mom?
Hey! Aren't you the one at my office recently?
You even went to Dal Ja's office?
Did you do that?
Tae Bong, stay out of this for now.
Oh Dal Ja, you answer me truthfully now.
You're now living together with Tae Bong?
I told you I saw it with my own eyes.
Mom!
Answer me truthfully, Dal Ja!
You're now living together with Tae Bong? Are you?
