My age is 33...
To find my destined man, the owl at night... no,
Playboy.
Married Man.
Younger Man.
Family opposition.
I, Oh Dal Ja, had to overcome all those obstacles.
And finally, I thought I could see my final destination right in front of my eyes,
But just then...
His past appeared in front of me.
Jang Soo Jin, your words are a little harsh.
I'm in such a hurry because I still love Tae Bong that much.
Watch out!
How did this happen?
While he was carrying the bricks.
Oh, really?
Check his vitals.
What does that mean?
That means that I am still in love with Tae Bong.
So?
I want to start all over again with him.
With what?
Dating.
With who?
Kang Tae Bong.
You realize those words are very unpleasant and offensive to me?
Did you hear it that way? I tried my best to sound as polite as possible.
Even just saying those words are rude.
I thought it would be better for you to know beforehand than to be shocked suddenly later.
Jang Soo Jin...
Tae Bong is a simple and straightforward man.
If he falls in love with a woman once, he can't forget her easily.
That man isn't in love with you.
How do you know that so well?
Have you ever heard Kang Tae Bong say that he loves you?
I knew he wouldn't.
He doesn't say words that he doesn't feel. That is Kang Tae Bong.
Episode 19
At this age, do I have to listen to those sort of words from a young kid like that, Seon Joo?
Of course not!
Do you want some sausage? It's good.
Why did she tell me that Kang Tae Bong and she dated before?
What am I supposed to do about that?
I've been craving these lately.
And what? She still loves him?
She wants to start dating him again?
The liver and lungs are the best with these.
And she tells me that Kang Tae Bong doesn't love me.
If he doesn't love me, then whom does he love? Does that make sense, Seon Joo?
Why didn't you just step all over her?
I so wanted to but...
I have some dignity at this age.
At this age, am I supposed to fight with a girl like her over a man? That is too over the top.
Yeah, that would have made things worse.
What am I supposed to do, Seon Joo?
Am I supposed to talk to Tae Bong about this?
Do what you want.
If I did what I wanted, I would run over there and argue to him about it.
But if I did that, then we would fight which is what she wants us to do.
Then don't.
But if I did that, then I would look too weak.
What would you do?
If it were me, I would have stepped on her there and then.
[Kang Tae Bong]
Oh, it's Kang Tae Bong. What am I supposed to do?
Don't hold it in. Do whatever you feel like. Life is short.
Ya! Kang Tae Bong, you called right on time.
Do you know whom I met today?
Your ex-girlfriend. Jang Soo Jin.
She said that she still has feelings for you.
You sure that's enough?
How in the world have you acted in front of her, that she'd come and tell me those things?
Why do I have to hear those things from a girl like her?
You haven't touched the core, like always.
I really dislike those kinds of women, so make sure she doesn't meet me ever again.
If something like today happens again, I am not going to see you again.
We'd be over. The End. Done!
Excuse me... Is this Kang Tae Bong's guardian?
What?
This is the hospital.
What?
I am Kang Tae Bong's guardian.
Hold on.
Dal Ja...
Are you the guardian?
Yes.
How is he?
He is in bad shape.
It's been a few hours after the accident but he still hasn't awoken yet.
He hasn't stopped bleeding and it doesn't look like he will make it.
You should get ready.
What am I supposed to do?
Calm down at a time like this. You have to toughen yourself.
Tae Bong... I'm here.
Can you hear me?
Tae Bong... Wake up, please!
Tae Bong.
Kang Tae Bong.
Tae Bong... I'm here. Wake up, please.
Why are you lying down like this?
Please wake up! Say something! Can't you hear me? Tae Bong.
Kang Tae Bong.
Tae Bong, what am I supposed to do?
Dal Ja.
Kang Tae Bong.
What are you doing here?
Who is he? Do you know this person?
Sorry, your jawline was similar so I was mistaken.
Have you decided on what you are going to do?
You said it was 2 years?
Yes.
I will go.
Good. Then I will plan everything.
You will have a period of one month to get ready and leave.
That seems like enough time for you to get ready.
Yes, it is enough.
Wee Seon Joo.
Seon Joo, it's been a long time. Has it been 3 years?
When did you come to Seoul?
This morning's flight. Did you have dinner?
I already ate.
Can we have a cup of tea together?
Today was fun. You were hilarious, right?
How long have we lived together yet you still don't recognize me from another man?
Tae Bong, are you ok?
Of course. There was nothing wrong with my CT (head scan).
My arm is sprained but I only need a cast for about a week.
Besides your head and arm, anywhere else?
I'm fine.
Really? So everywhere else is fine, right?
Yep.
What are you doing? What's wrong?
I don't like you. That's why!
What? It was fun? Hilarious?
No. You were too serious so I just wanted to make you relaxed.
Do you know how much I was worried about you?
While I was running to the hospital after I heard you got hurt, I couldn't even breathe.
When I thought that the patient was you, my eyes were all blacked out that I couldn't see anything.
Just in case something might have happened to you... If something had happened to you...
I'm sorry.
Forget it. Who said that I wanted to hear that from you?
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I'm sorry, I really am.
I thought you were different.
I thought you would be the one who would understand me.
Tae Bong.
Are you asleep?
I love you.
I really love you.
Do you know?
My age is 33.. This was the first time that I expressed that I loved a man.
To me, these words of expression were the most precious and touching since I was born.
I love you, Kang Tae Bong.
I love you... Tae Bong.
Episode 19: The way men live... is how it is.
Hello, this is Wee Seon Joo.
You can feel that spring is getting close.
In order for you to dress fashionably on a warm spring day, we are introducing a scarf to you.
And this is what we are offering today.
On days when your face is rough and you didn't put on makeup, all you need is one scarf.
I heard you are going abroad next month?
Where did you hear that?
It's all over the company.
Already?
Of course.
Don't tell anyone.
Good work!
Wee Seon Joo.
I've decided to go abroad to study.
I heard about it. You made the right decision.
Do you have time tonight?
No, I already have plans tonight.
And I think it will be hard for me to go on the trip this weekend.
What? Have you already found yourself a new boyfriend?
Well, it's not a new man but it's an old one.
Are you by chance meeting another man besides me?
For the time being, I don't want you to come over to my house.
Are you really seeing another man?
See you tomorrow.
Seon Joo...
Wee Seon Joo.
How can Wee Seon Joo do this to me?
Well...
There could be another reason - a reason you don't know about.
It is right here, like backstabbing me. And for our child in her belly, this is terror.
If you can't trust Seon Joo that much, how can you go study abroad for two years, friend?
I know! What a pathetic and awkward situation.
What am I supposed to do in a situation like this?
First calm down. Ask her to tell you the whole story. That's all I have to say.
Right now Seon Joo is into sausages. You go buy them for her and ask her yourself.
Sausages?
With liver and lungs. That's even better.
I have to see someone tonight, so good bye.
Sausages? With liver and lungs?
Dal Ja?
You came.
What is this?
This is the money that you gave me before.
You really have a very hard time understanding me.
This money isn't for you but it is for my Tae Bong.
Tae Bong said he doesn't want it.
Did you tattle that to him already?
If Tae Bong doesn't want it, then I don't feel comfortable having it.
Dal Ja.
To tell you the truth, I want Tae Bong to return to the law firm. It's a good idea but...
That's right. You know something...
My Tae Bong isn't a person who sits there but he's a person who is born to fly.
However...
What? Again with the "However"...?
The most important thing is himself.
I want him to do what he wants to do most.
From ancient times, a man depends on his woman.
If Tae Bong is going in the wrong direction, then the woman is supposed to correct his way.
But how can you lead him into the wrong way and say those foolish words?
That's why I don't like you. You know that?
For now he has a long way to go but I want to trust him and wait for him.
I believe that whatever Tae Bong does, he is going to do it well.
How far do you think a lunchbox shop can go?
Tae Bong wants to do it.
Stop right there. I don't want to talk to you anymore.
I thought you had some sense in you but you are no more than your mother.
I wasted my energy already.
What happened to your arm?
After I started working, there was an accident and I got hurt.
After living her whole life under a restaurant owner mother, my Dal Ja had never truly done what she really wanted to do.
It was around the third grade?
She wanted to learn how to play the piano, so for three days she cried and begged me for lessons.
but I hit her with my stick and didn't let her do it.
Are you withdrawing all of your money?
Later, she found out by coincidence that her mother didn't have enough money to teach her.
That's when it started. After that, she never asked me to buy or do something for her.
Even if there were holes in her old socks,
she never said anything about them.
Just in case her mother was going to worry about it,
just in case her mother didn't have enough money.
Dal Ja is that kind of girl.
She can't stand to see other people getting hurt because of her.
If you don't take care of her, she is going to go through it all alone till the end.
How can I give a girl like that to you?
Why should I trust you with my daughter? For a man who doesn't have a future or hope?
Knowing full well that she is going to tough it out and not say a single word, how can I give you my daughter?
How can I give her to you? Aren't I right?
If you really think that my daughter is special to you,
then find another safe job,
but not this way.
This way I can't trust you with my daughter.
Do you understand?
Kang Tae Bong.
- Are you finished? - How long have you been waiting for me?
For about 30 minutes?
Then you should have called me.
I just... wanted to wait for you.
Good. I wanted to eat out today.
Let's go.
What are you doing? Eat.
It's been a while since you saw meat.
Yeah.
And... here.
Open it.
Anyway, you hurt your arm and you can't go to work. You have to stay at home for now.
But don't waste your time doing nothing at home.
In that time you can go to the school and learn something.
Don't worry. I didn't touch the money that your mother gave me.
This morning I returned the money to her so don't worry.
Then... where did all this money come from?
See, when older women have a account that nobody knows about, it is sometimes called a marriage account.
For now, I used that to pay for the apartment and enough for your course fees.
Don't worry. I'm not pressuring you just because I used my marriage account.
I just wanted to do it.
It is important to plan for the future,
but if you can't do the things you need to do now, that's ridiculous.
I did this because I wanted to so don't get any pressure, ok?
It's going to burn. Hurry up and eat.
This is so good.
Two servings of sausages, take out please.
What?
Just ordering two servings of sausages to go.
Oh, ok.
- Me too. Sausages - two servings. - Okay.
Would you want some innards with them?
A lot of liver and lungs.
I don't have enough lungs for the both of you.
I'm the first one to order.
We both ordered lungs and liver at the same time.
I'll pay an extra ten dollars so give them to me.
Auntie, I'll give you twenty dollars so give them to me.
$30.
$35.
$40.
$45.
$100.
$100?
Both of you! What in the world are you doing?
Sae Do, don't misunderstand!
Don't misunderstand?
You guys are comfortably feeding each other sausages and you tell me not to misunderstand?
We are over now. WE ARE OVER NOW!
Seon Joo! Seon Joo! Seon Joo!
Seon Joo!
That can't happen.
She is pregnant. I can't startle her like that.
Fight it! Fight it, Sae Do!
But I don't want to doubt her anymore.
Aren't you...?
Sae Do.
Seon Joo, do you know this person?
Who the hell are you?
And who are you?
Who are you to go to Seon Joo's house in the middle of the night?
Sae Do.
I have the right to do that but what is your relationship with Seon Joo?
You really want to know our relationship?
Stop it, Sae Do.
Yes, my name is Shin Sae Do.
For the past three years, I have been working professionally with Seon Joo
as the Home Shopping PD in our company,
and personally we are in a deep, very deep relationship.
I told you to stop, Sae Do.
You see this ring? I gave this ring to her.
And the baby in her stomach, this is my baby too. Is everything clear? Are you happy?
Seon Joo, is everything he said true?
Yes.
I wanted to know who would impregnate my daughter and run away to America and I guess you are the guy.
This guy?
Yeah, I'm the guy. What are you going to do about it?
Wait...? What? Whose daughter? Whose daughter are you talking about?
Seon Joo.
Yes, father?
Let's go inside and have a chat.
Seon Joo, he is your father? Real father?
Stupid.
It's small.
Excuse me?
Your eyes, nose and mouth are all small and dense.
I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were her father and I was acting rude.
Of course, because I live in America.
Oh, you do.
Your name?
Shin Sae Do.
Your age?
33 years old, same as your daughter's.
You've aged. You look older than 40.
It's more like Seon Joo looks so young.
To make things brief, how should I kill you?
What?
You impregnate my daughter and you run away to a foreign country. I can't let you be the father.
How should I kill you?
How should I kill him, Seon Joo?
Well, since you asked so unexpectedly, I really don't know,
but can't you wait till I give the answer tomorrow?
Ok then. The sun will rise again tomorrow.
Dal Ja is that kind of girl.
She can't stand to see other people getting hurt because of her.
If you don't take care of her, she is going to go through it all alone till the end.
How can I give a girl like that to you?
Why should I trust you with my daughter?
I did this because I wanted to so don't get any pressure, ok?
When a man falls in love, responsibility comes with it.
Running for your dreams is good but the girl who is left behind is going to have a hard time.
I wanted to become dean so I just looked straight and started running,
but I made your mother lonely.
You said you didn't want to become like me?
Then think about the most important thing that your woman needs.
It's better for a man to think about others then think about himself.
Living as a man is exactly that.
Hold on, I'll call you back in ten minutes.
The hours depend on the work and the money should be the same amount that I got last year.
OK. And...?
If I work more than 10 hours, then I get paid overtime work and all the extra expenses are bore by the company.
Of course. And what else?
I would like a week's pay in advance.
And?
I would like the office that I was using before. That's it for now.
Ok, then I'll make all the arrangements.
Anyway, welcome back, Kang Tae Bong.
What?
What? Why would our healthy company be merged?
I don't know. I heard it by coincidence when the secretaries were talking.
Isn't merger a bad thing?
It's not all a bad thing if you look at it from the company's perspective.
In any case, the company will be anxious now.
They aren't going to restructure and downsize, right?
What are you talking about?
Why are you all so noisy?
Eh...
What is the problem?
There's a rumor in our company that we are going through a merger.
Is that true, Team Manager?
Who spread the rumor around?
Who told you?
I heard it when the secretaries were talking about it, Team Manager.
If the company is undergoing a merger, then there's the possibility that we are going to get fired?
Oh, no!
Is that true?
Hey.
HEY.
Even though a huge wind comes our way, a deeply rooted tree will never fall,
if everyone does whatever they are supposed to do.
Even if we are undergoing a merger and restructuring, you won't be shaken if you're working well.
So don't blindly talk about such rumors and just do your job.
Do you know how many of our call graphs have hit bottom in the last week?
Do your job.
Is that true?
From the rumors, it seems the guys on top are finishing things off.
So if we are in a merger, then will the employees all be reshuffled?
I'm not positive but if there are people who need to be fired, then I guess they will be.
I don't think you have to worry about a thing, Dal Ja.
Even if you say that you quit, the company won't let you.
It's not totally like that.
If you are fired then come to me. We are going into this new project.
If it's a person with enough skills like you, then we are going to welcome you with open arms.
While we are talking about it, why don't I just scout you over to our company now?
Oh, your words are enough for me.
You know that it isn't only words. I'm for real.
And I am grateful. But even if I was to be fired,
I don't want to run away because I was scared.
I like it here and I love my job. My friends are here.
You don't seem to give me a chance.
Giving you a chance is going to hurt you more.
Dal Ja!
What? What? Did something happen?
That yesterday... sausage... at Seon Joo house... and that man wants to kill me...
What are you talking about? Talk clearly!
Yesterday he went to Seon Joo's house and bought sausage. And that man who goes to her house lately is her father.
But that man wants to kill Sae Do.
Don't worry. You think he will actually kill you?
All fathers of daughters are very mean to their future sons-in-law.
Don't get nervous and be respectful.
After he finds out that you are a good person, he will like you. Then...
What the hell?
Were you shocked? I'm shocked.
That man was her father?
Yes! Damn it, I'm totally done for!
Thank you for inviting me again.
The steak here is more expensive than at other restaurants.
The chef is from France and people say it's good. So it's worth it.
Oh, yes.
You buy.
Yes, of course I should. We should order.
Why? You don't want to buy?
It looks like it, father.
Seon Joo, what are you talking about?
I should buy. Don't worry about the price and have as much as you want.
You are a weird person. If I'm moving aside for you, then you should just go on.
Go on. Go on.
Are you Tae Bong?
Yeah, I'm Tae Bong.
Ya! What happened? Where did you get this car?
It's the company's car.
Company?
Yeah.
What company?
I went back to the law firm.
I am going back to the law firm.
So starting from tomorrow I will go back to the office.
Oh, really? Law firm.
So if you do that, how much will you get?
Mom, you make a lot if it's a law firm.
It depends on how much work there is but on average over a million in a year.
Mi... llion...
How do you make so much money at such a young age?
What does a law firm do? Is it a scam?
No, it's not, grandmother. It's a place where lawyers work.
I know that lawyers make a lot of money but how can they make a million?
That doesn't make sense.
Is it a safe company?
Yes, Teacher.
Did you have dinner? If you didn't, I'll make it for you.
I didn't eat. Would you mind?
Yes, wait.
Oh, my son, good idea. You did good.
Oh, you should go that way.
Why would you work at the cheap restaurant?
Honey?
Did I say something wrong?
So, did you think about it rationally?
You told me a man should think about others before thinking about himself.
So I decided to do that.
You told me you were Dal Ja?
Yes, Grandfather. I should have come and met with you earlier.
You are more handsome than what Tae Bong told me.
Oh, really?
You are more lovely than expected. You are eun-dong! (slang term)
Huh? Eun-dong?
You're have a nice (EUN-geun) baby-face (DONG-an). Shortened words are the rave nowadays.
Oh...
If you two sit together, you only look 2-3 years apart.
Grandfather, you are eun-so.
Huh? What is eun-so?
You are nice (EUN-geun) and valuable (SO-joong).
You have some sense.
Tae Bong knows how to pick a girl, aren't I right, Professor Kang?
Yeah, right, eun-dong.
You can tell from first sight that she looks older than Tae Bong.
It's a good thing that father likes her, aren't I right?
That girl with her hair... Why does father like her so much?
Why? Do you think that your father's love will be given to Dal Ja?
What are you talking about?
Who said I was afraid of a thing like Dal Ja?
You are scared.
Never mind what I'm going to say to you.
Let Dal Ja have your father's love. Instead, from now on, I'll be the one to treat you well.
Why are you doing this? Making a person feel uncomfortable.
From now on you should get used to it and I'll work on it too.
Let's go to bed.
Sleep? Where?
Here?
Starting from tonight, I'm going to sleep here with you. Why? Can't I?
We have been apart all these years so why all of a sudden? How embarrassing.
Really? If you are uncomfortable, I will go back to my office.
Then you should lie down first.
Here.
Move it, my head is heavy.
It's ok.
I don't know.
This place has the most wine in Seoul.
Yes...
Tonight, why don't we have Shado Ohburuoh 81'?
Even if it is 81', the price will still be quite high, father?
Of course. Seoul raises prices by two or three times.
It's a funny place, Seoul.
You should buy.
Why? You won't do it?
I don't think he doesn't want to buy, father?
No, it's not, Seon Joo. It's fine. Don't worry.
Father, order as you please. Here!
$792.00.
Can you split it into two credit cards?
Right in half? Please?
Why do I have to do this?
What did I do wrong? I'm going to go crazy.
This is a man's life.
All men have to go through it. If he can't go through it, then he won't gain anything either.
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
The sun will rise again tomorrow.
When I told you not to come, you shouldn't have come.
Why go through all this trouble?
Seon Joo.
Go then.
You like it that much?
Huh? Yes. Who knew that I would get a ride in your car this soon?
Tae Bong.
Are you really ok?
What?
Your dream of the lunchbox shop... Are you sure you want to quit it?
I haven't given up on it fully.
After I work for 3-4 years and make and collect enough money,
so that you don't have to reach out and ask for money from our parents, then I'll start from there.
If it's because of me, then...
Dal Ja, you don't need the pressure.
I feel lighter than I've felt before.
Dal Ja, you told me before that it's important to plan for the future,
but if you can't do the things that you need to do now, that is ridiculous.
It's important to run after my dream,
but because of me, you are under pressure. That is not the way to go.
I'm ok.
I know you're ok.
Whatever happens, you would have said that it was ok.
That's why my heart hurts more.
I'm really ok.
People say that hope comes only to those who dream.
Dreams really do come true...
Yahoo!
Yahoo! Yahoo!
Yahoo!
Law firm!
Suddenly I feel the air of spring coming.
Is there finally a spring in Oh Dal Ja's life?
How do you look this good?
You don't have to work that hard on the first day.
Just warm up today and come home, ok?
Ok, and here...
I got the $5,000 in advance and that's half of the new rent.
Tae Bong.
Whatever happens, don't go through it alone. Let's do it together this time, ok?
And this is the refund for the cooking class.
I think it will hard for me to attend it.
Sorry for the trouble that you went through to get it.
I'll take it up again in three years, so keep it and give it to me then.
Ok.
I'll go.
Ok, go.
Yes?
Come this way.
Yes, I'm coming!
Be careful, the room is on the right.
Yes?
This way.
Did I bother you? Should I come back later?
No, come in.
I knew it.
It feels good.
What does?
I didn't get to see your face everyday and it was getting boring, but it's starting to get interesting again.
I didn't come back to make things interesting for you.
Yeah, in the year that I haven't seen you, you look more manly.
Your jaw line became perfect and your eyes got deeper.
Stop playing, and don't tire out someone on their first day. Move.
You're no fun now that your face doesn't get red anymore.
Did Dal Ja say anything?
What?
She didn't tell you that she met with me?
I shouldn't have said anything.
You met Dal Ja?
Yes, I did.
When?
A week ago?
Why?
I wanted to know what kind of woman she was.
She is like me in that she is easy to read.
She can't hide any of her feelings.
Don't do that, Soo Jin.
What?
Stop meeting her.
I didn't go on purpose. It was coincidental.
How coincidental?
The new case I have is Handa Home shopping. She works there.
I told you it was coincidental.
The first day he goes to work was what I was hoping and wishing for.
but who knew that the first day at work would come back and stab me? Damn it!
I want to raise a bunch of bunny-like children.
Who are all these children?
What are you talking about? They are our children.
Wait! Kids, wait!
Wait!
Are you scared that you'll lose?
You think that I'll lose to an old man?
Do you know how much I've missed this shoulder?
I'm sorry that I haven't told you before.
That's not the reason why I'm like this.
