Episode 44 - Tell me the real reason.
There's no such thing.
You think I'm that stupid?
You're trying to run away.
What is it?
Did my mother say something about your fate again?
No.
Then what is it?
Just let me go. Please.
Tell me the reason.
I don't have any.
Tell me why you're running away!
I'm afraid of my fate.
I was afraid that you'd pass away,
so I prayed to whoever was in charge of my fate.
And vowed I'd never see you again if you were spared.
At that moment, you opened your eyes.
I admitted defeat
because I couldn't bear to see my loved one die again.
I swore I'd keep my promise if your life was spared.
Get a grip, you stupid woman.
Forget a cruel god who'd negotiate with a person's life.
I'm the one who offered the negotiation.
Only because you were desperate to save my life.
Don't you know it's your fate that saved my life?
I'd overcome anything so that I could stay with you.
And maybe it doesn't have anything to do with your fate.
I've burned a lot of bridges, and if it weren't for you,
I wouldn't have tried to come back to this world.
I fought to stay alive so that I could keep my promise to you.
So don't lose to your fate.
Don't tell me I came back for nothing.
I was afraid.
If you had passed away, it would've meant my death too.
I wanted to save you at all costs.
I know.
I know why you did it.
If I were in your shoes, I'd have done the same thing.
But let's not think that gods are so cruel.
Let's believe they showed us mercy for your sincerity.
I won't say sorry.
You deserved it.
Did that hurt?
You really got on my nerves.
I did it because I was scared.
So forgive me.
I snapped at the thought of you running away.
I know I deserved it.
Don't ever do that to me again.
Answer me.
I don't know what I'll do next.
I won't do that again.
If you hadn't answered, I'd have kicked you hard.
You can really get on a person's nerves.
I can't believe you made me go as far as to slap a woman.
I'll repent.
Don't fall asleep.
Spend the whole night repenting.
I'm home.
- Grandfather. - He's not home.
He went to the Ilsan grandmother's house
for her party tomorrow.
Your sisters went to help with the food preparation.
I should've gone too.
Just visit them tomorrow.
All the women in our family are helping,
so we don't need to be there.
I used my morning sickness as an excuse.
I know I wouldn't be much help.
We're home.
Already?
I thought you'd return from the resort quite late.
Honey, I'm home.
She's not home.
Sorry?
Sisters went to help the Ilsan grandmother
with her party preparations.
It's not like she'd be of much help.
Why didn't you go, Mother?
You're upset your wife's working, but I'm not?
Yes.
Dan-ah.
Yes.
Why's your left cheek red?
It's nothing.
He fell asleep already?
He said he had a lot to worry about.
You and your sleeping habits...
<SEO-HYUN HYUN-JI>
You're using ladders to decide on a girl?
You're just as silly as I am.
What?
Gang-suk gave you hickeys!
Tae-young!
Just stick to kissing on the lips, okay?
Hurry up before Gang-suk comes home.
I'm working.
I don't know why you waste money on that stuff.
These will prevent him from misfortune.
He's insisting on getting married, so I'm worried.
Why do you have to pick a time when Gang-suk comes home?
I'm following the shaman's prescription.
Listen to me like you listen to shamans,
and I'll buy you a giant diamond every day.
I'm finished.
Son.
Welcome home.
Welcome home, Son.
What are you doing in my room?
What are we doing here?
Well...
We were trying to figure out
how to decorate the newlyweds' room.
That's right!
Why would you do that at this hour?
Well...
We should repaint the room.
And change the curtain color to pink.
Right!
Why are you stuttering?
Who's stuttering?
Honey, I think we're done for tonight.
That was such hard work. I have a headache now.
Let's go.
Welcome home.
Thanks.
Working hard, you two.
Good job today. Go get some rest.
Please get some rest.
What's wrong? Did something bad happen?
The party almost got canceled.
What happened?
Sisters broke all the dishes they were carrying out.
You really did it this time.
You didn't hurt yourself?
No.
I was worried something like that might happen.
That's not all.
What else?
Mal-soon used vinegar instead of cooking oil to pan fry.
Nice going, my lady.
They were a big help.
They don't have many women in their family,
so our family was a big help to them.
You mean big trouble, right?
What's that for?
Sit down.
Dip your feet in here. I put salt.
You must be tired from standing for so long.
They'll laugh at you for looking after
a useless housewife like me.
Nobody saw me.
Take your socks off.
Why aren't you sleeping?
Thanks for embarrassing me.
Then stop making trouble.
It wasn't just me.
Sister and I were carrying the basket together.
That's not everything.
Why would you use vinegar instead of cooking oil?
I bet they're saying we're a perfect match.
You embarrass me.
Get up.
I'm going to sleep.
Get up or else.
I'm sleepy.
Get up right now!
Don't kick me.
- I'll do it. - Just rest.
What are you doing, Soo-young?
Nothing.
Is that for Jin-ah?
No.
He's so whipped.
Let's go.
Get over here.
What do you want?
I wanted to talk it out,
but you gave me no choice.
You want to fight?
I won't put up with this!
Put up with what?
I won't put up with this crappy treatment from you.
Jin-ah even gets hot water brought to her.
But all I get is your mockery.
Look back on your actions.
Where are you going?
Come on.
You're nuts.
You couldn't even dodge that?
Your nose is bleeding.
I'm bleeding again.
I think my nose is broken.
Seriously? Want to go to the hospital?
How did I marry such a husband-beater?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Dad, you can wash yourself, can't you?
You're being such a baby.
Right.
He's giving me such a hard time.
I have to pee. Can you leave?
Okay.
Have you repented enough?
I'll do it later. I have something to do.
Repent first.
I have to cool off my swollen cheek.
It's swollen?
It's really bad.
Why'd you have to get on my nerves?
I didn't know you had a bad temper.
Darn it.
How badly is your cheek swollen?
Does it hurt?
Did I scare you?
I deserved it.
But I wanted to scare you out of payback.
You almost made me run outside.
To where?
I was going to pick up ointment and run over to your house.
Don't exaggerate.
I promise you.
No matter how much you get on my nerves,
I'll never do that again.
I promise.
I won't ever upset you again.
How's that for my repentance?
Dan-ah.
Bye.
Yes.
Don't they ever go to sleep?
He slapped you?
He slapped me back into my right mind.
That's good.
Sam-wol.
Yes.
Even if gods are cruel to me, I'll fight by his side.
I'm proud of you.
Why are you wearing that?
I have a cold.
Go to work.
You'll have to take off the mask to eat.
You're kicking me out without breakfast?
I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.
Rub your face with ice at work.
How do I do that at work?
Make sure the swelling's gone before you come home.
I don't want Dong-dong to make me write apology letters.
Then...
What?
Bring me hot water in a basin when I come home.
Fine, I'll just go eat breakfast.
Okay.
- What is this? - Sorry.
You changed your mind overnight?
Aren't I fickle?
Why'd you do that?
Just take it as my last tantrum before the wedding.
I'm sure you had a better reason.
I have to go get scolded by the dean.
He won't like my excuse.
Dan-ah.
Yes.
Hurry up and get married.
I don't think I can relax before your wedding.
Yes.
Mother.
It's still your old number.
You don't want it?
I'm not sure of my feelings for you.
I can't tell if it's friendship or sympathy.
But now that you're not there looking at me anymore...
...I feel empty.
Is your cold that bad?
I'm about to die, okay?
I was just worried.
Hurry up and sign it.
I haven't reviewed it yet.
Then review it and send it down.
This is embarrassing.
It hurts.
Stupid Mal-soon.
How could you punch your husband?
Your wife punched you?
Who'd you hear that from?
You.
Why'd she punch you?
You sound happy.
Just obey your wife.
Tell others, and you can't marry Dan-ah.
Your wife must pack a punch.
It's swollen badly.
Stop acting up!
It hurts.
That's a good setting for the pearl.
How do you like the setting?
Mother.
You don't like the setting?
It's not that. It's a little too much.
Don't say that.
This is common for esteemed families.
But...
Sorry I'm late.
I picked hers out already.
I see.
Do you like it?
Yes.
But it's a little too extravagant.
Don't say that. This is nothing.
Let's pick out a watch now.
Bring out the one I reserved.
Yes.
<$35,000>
Is this necessary for a wedding gift?
Everyone I know has one.
Don't you like it?
She's too much.
Did you get the wedding gifts?
Guess how much the watch cost.
Was it expensive?
It was over $30,000.
What kind of watch is that expensive?
And she wants a five-karat diamond ring for her son.
I'm so ticked off.
So did you buy them?
Dan-ah told her she needed to talk to Gang-suk
before she made the purchase.
But you know Mrs. Lee won't back off.
I'm so ticked off.
Why would they pout over gifts?
I tried to like her, but she's so stuck-up.
She grew up in a modest family.
She has to follow our customs now.
Even her mother was pouting over just a watch.
She should've been grateful to have Gang-suk as a son-in-law.
They're so outdated.
I'd feel bad for my sisters if I accepted those gifts.
Can't you just accept them?
My mother's on a mission to go all out.
Do you want a $30,000 watch?
How about this?
Since you spent all your money on
Mr. Lee Kyung-ho's hospital bills,
I'll pay your wedding contribution.
And why would you do that?
You can be proud that you paid your share,
and it would make me happy to support you.
Killing two birds with one stone.
And why would I be proud that you paid my contribution?
Let's not argue about it.
We already prepared our wedding rings.
Aren't those enough?
You're too modest.
Don't women like jewelry?
You're so vain.
It's fun.
I wondered why my friends said
they fought with their wives every day.
We're doing just that right now.
It's fun. It feels like we're really getting married.
Do you see me laughing?
I thought you'd already prepared the wedding gifts.
But I got them before your accident.
They're bad luck.
I shopped with Professor Ha and her mother.
I want the best gifts for both our families.
We already have gifts prepared.
What are you talking about?
She wanted to keep it modest,
so we bought plain gold bands.
Honey, listen to him.
He's settling for a mere gold ring.
I heard him.
Won't that make you look too cheap?
It's not like I don't have money.
I'll look modest, if anything.
He says he'll look modest.
I want the best gifts to be exchanged.
I won't have it any other way.
She won't have it any other way.
Let's do what she wants.
You might end up spending all the money
from selling your apartment.
I don't care about that.
I feel bad.
I'm a president of a company,
but I don't have much money.
Will Dan-ah do all right?
I worry about how she'll fit in with such a vain family.
She's a bright girl, so she'll do well.
Do as your mother-in-law says.
Mother.
Let's not make a big deal out of it.
It's too much, but it'll be best to follow her wishes.
I talked with Gang-suk. He'll persuade his mother.
Don't do that.
She hates the fact that you have him under your thumb.
Just follow her wishes.
I'd feel bad for my sisters if I accepted those gifts.
They'll understand your situation.
The swelling's gone down.
Where is it?
Where's what?
The basin filled with hot water.
Do you have to do this after my hard day of work?
Yes, I do. Go get it.
Now.
What a jerk.
Mal-soon.
Yes.
This is medicine for fatigue.
Thank you.
Here's medicine for fatigue.
You just felt bad about only buying medicine for Jin-ah.
That's not it.
Don't say such things.
I feel jealous of how happy he is with Jin-ah.
Then get married.
Wash them good.
I am.
This side.
Scrub harder.
Good.
This is why women have to meet the right guy.
Vice versa.
Did you forget that you punched me in the nose?
What?
What's wrong with you, Dad?
Grandpa!
He made Mom wash his face yesterday.
And today, he made her wash his feet.
I didn't make her.
Mal-soon.
Yes, Grandfather.
I won't nitpick about things like that
since your relationship is good.
But he even acts like a baby with his younger sister.
Grandfather.
If you baby him, he'll act up even more.
I understand what you mean.
I won't pamper him anymore.
Grandfather.
How about Soo-young bringing Jin-ah a hot water basin?
Isn't he babying her too much?
There's nothing wrong with his consideration for her.
See the unfair treatment I get?
Why are you going to the kitchen?
To drink water.
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
Lies.
What are you doing here in the middle of the night?
I'm doing prep for tomorrow's food service.
This is exactly why Mal-soon nags me every day!
Jin-ah worked hard at the Ilsan elder's place.
If I prep this, she can sleep in a little longer.
How touching.
That's not how you prep them.
Move.
You just trim right here.
What's this?
Why aren't you sleeping, Sister?
I woke up, and my husband wasn't in the room.
I haven't seen Tae-young since he went to the kitchen either.
You're a good cook.
I don't usually try.
But when I do, I'm good.
What are you doing here?
Why aren't you sleeping?
What are you doing?
Can't you see I'm prepping for tomorrow's food service?
I want you to sleep in a little longer.
Why are you here doing nothing?
I did all these.
I think we found the right guys.
Yes.
My husband's irritable, but he has a good heart.
My husband's not irritable. So I'm better off.
I can't agree with you on that.
Even when I punched Tae-young in the face...
You punched him?
I bought you the phone so you could call me.
Why do you refuse my sincerity?
Because I know what you're trying to do.
You're forcefully trying to change your mind.
How would you know that?
How would you know my heart?
I just know.
I've been watching you for a while,
so I know what kind of person you are.
How strange.
I don't know why my heart's slowly moving towards you,
but you say you know my heart better than I do.
How strange.
Do what you want with Dan-ah's gifts.
And the same goes for Gang-suk's gifts.
This would've been easier if we had decided yesterday.
That's because of Dan-ah's reluctance.
But I think it would be best if we let you decide.
I think we're on the same page now.
Mr. Ha.
Yes.
I'm sorry about my wife's extravagant gift list.
It's no problem.
My wife and I never had a wedding ceremony.
We had to settle for a photo.
That's why she wants our son's wedding to be very memorable.
I see.
The reason I called you here today is because
I want us to leave the resort to younger blood.
Then you and I can work on the Silver Town business.
Your sons and Gang-suk can take care of the resort.
When I wanted to buy the resort,
I almost sold this place to get more funds.
But I'm sure that didn't happen for a reason.
I have a site.
All I need is a building.
But I'm not knowledgeable about construction industry.
I would like your help with that.
Joo-jeong.
Calm down.
I got a good one.
Have you been making trouble again?
I found a grandma who comes from a family of midwives.
She delivered many babies in your hometown.
How's that?
Go on.
If we interview her,
we can get the scoop on all the local noble families.
Grandma, your story will be a great help to our work.
You must know a lot of stories,
thanks to your family's background.
Would you tell us?
I only delivered babies. I don't know any stories.
You lived in Taebaek, right?
Yes.
That's my hometown.
Is that right?
I'm glad to hear that.
Do you know Jangsaeng Ha?
Jangsaeng Ha?
Isn't that the fallen family whose firstborn ran away?
Yes. You know them well.
What about them?
I'm interviewing their family right now.
That family's unfortunate.
My mother helped deliver the last firstborn of that family.
The last firstborn?
I heard he restored the family's honor
and owns a big company now.
You mean Daeseong Construction?
I'm not sure.
Don't you mean Chairman Ha Man-gi?
Is he that famous?
He's her...
Do you know a lot about that family?
That's great.
That unfortunate person became very successful.
Can you give us more details about him?
I'm sorry.
It isn't something I should talk about.
Please leave.
Welcome.
I'm here for dinner again.
You're welcome anytime.
We should've pressed her some more.
It seemed like she knew something.
What's the use when she was clamming up?
Maybe you should've told her Chairman Ha was your brother.
She wasn't willing to talk
because she knew something that was damaging.
If I'd told her he was my brother,
would she have said,
let me tell you everything?
Moron.
That's enough for today.
If I get to know her better,
maybe she'll confide in me.
We called you here today because you're Hye-joo's savior,
and we haven't thanked you properly.
I was buying my son's wedding gifts today,
and I saw a very nice watch.
It's not expensive. So please accept it.
I can't.
It's a token of our deepest appreciation.
I'd even buy you a basketball team if I could.
Sorry?
Aren't you a basketball player?
No.
I'm going to study electrical engineering in graduate school.
He's not a basketball player.
But a lot of your pictures playing basketball...
That's just a hobby.
Electrical engineering.
That's a good major.
You must be really smart to get into graduate school.
How'd you get in without ringing the buzzer?
The housekeeper was on her way out.
We ran into Hye-joo at the door.
Hey.
Hello.
Welcome.
Please try it on.
No, it's really all right.
Please accept it.
We bought a watch to thank him for Hye-joo.
I'm sorry. I'll leave for today.
Young man.
Don't run away.
Why are you doing this?
What? We just wanted to thank him with a gift.
Why's she raising such a fuss?
What did we do wrong?
Mrs. Ha and I finished shopping for a wedding gift.
So don't say anything.
We found a new place for the wedding.
It'll host a thousand five hundred guests.
Mother, that's too big.
Gang-suk.
Yes.
You keep this up,
and Professor Ha will get it from me later.
Sorry?
Whether I'll be nice to her or not is up to you.
Leave.
Don't be so mean.
She was just saying that.
She won't give you a hard time.
That's not it.
Then what?
I get it.
I couldn't even persuade my mother, is that it?
I'm facing the reality of marriage.
Just bear with me for now.
I won't be under her thumb after we're married.
What's with that unconvinced look?
I'm not convinced.
Just trust me.
Faith makes the world go round.
Finally you smile.
You're so difficult.
I'm trying to blend into my husband's particular family.
How gracefully sarcastic you are.
Hye-joo.
Don't be so down.
I know you feel bad about our parents bothering Hyun-gyu.
But he'll understand they mean well.
I don't want him to face another situation like today's.
It's so cruel that he had to face Dan-ah like that.
I want to go study abroad.
What?
Study abroad?
You're not that smart.
What's wrong with your kids?
First Gang-suk threatens to leave for the United States.
That made my heart drop.
What's your problem?
I just want to leave.
Hey.
What's her problem?
Who knows?
Why are both our kids giving us such trouble?
What's wrong, Hye-joo?
I want to go study.
That's not the reason.
I heard from your brother that you don't want Hyun-gyu
to face a situation like yesterday's.
Hye-joo.
Yes.
I was like that too.
I held a dead person in my heart,
and thought I could never love again.
But that changed after I met your brother.
And I felt guilty and sorry for that person.
But I realized this.
Love can move on to another place given some time.
Maybe that's where Hyun-gyu is right now.
That's all the more reason to leave.
Before he comes closer, I should leave.
You're saying I get in your way.
That's not what I mean.
I just want him to have nothing to do with us.
Goodbye.
She doesn't want to make you face me like that.
She cares for you that much.
You're home.
He came to accept our gift.
I'll take my leave.
Please stay for dinner.
No, I'll leave for today.
Why are you doing this?
What?
Why did you come to my house?
To pick up the gift.
Don't do things you don't want to.
Why would I refuse a free gift?
I heard you're leaving to study abroad.
You're so cruel.
You want to leave now that I'm taking another look at you?
Fine, do as you wish.
You liked me first too. Do everything as you wish.
She won't leave.
Will Hyun-gyu hold her back?
I don't think he's sure of his feelings.
Let's just watch them.
We can only hope that Hye-joo can cross her river safely.
Will she make it through?
She will.
She seems fragile, but she's stronger than most anyone.
I heard Hyun-gyu came by.
He probably heard you were leaving, and took courage.
Would you still leave?
Gang-suk.
I think I'm scared.
Of what?
That he might look back at me.
I don't know how it feels like to be liked.
I've always been the outcast.
I'm scared that he'll give me a chance
and then end up not liking me.
I might be trying to run away before it goes any further.
Whatever it is, don't run away.
At least he accepted your feelings.
Besides, we need you to be on our side.
Who'll be Dan-ah's support if you're not here?
Aren't I selfish?
Hye-joo must think I'm acting like a baby.
But at least it seems to be working.
Then keep it up.
You like it when I look pathetic, don't you?
Honestly, yes.
Dan-ah, let's get a facial.
Goodbye.
What's wrong with her family?
Dan-ah, please answer the phone.
It's so noisy.
What's your problem?
What are you doing that you can't answer the phone?
Something, so hang up. I'll call you back.
Hang up on me again, and I'll come there and protest.
Protest about what?
That they're getting in the way of our love.
Let me.
- I'll hang up. - Hand it over.
Director Lee.
Yes, Mother.
We're getting a facial.
If you want a pretty bride, then let us be.
Mother, she already looks beautiful.
I don't need her to look any better.
You'll see her every day soon.
Do you really have to do this?
Yes.
I lose.
Let's leave, daughters-in-law.
Why don't you just tell the world you're dating?
Why do you have to embarrass me?
A madman knows no shame.
Holy crap!
Why are you walking around like that?
We had to leave because Gang-suk wanted to talk to
Dan-ah on the phone.
He's such trouble.
Tae-young.
What?
I'm getting jealous again.
You and I didn't do that when we were dating.
Don't be jealous. Gang-suk's just nuts.
Do you want a crazy husband?
Yes, I want a crazy husband. You got that?
What's the problem?
You're not afraid of the consequences?
Sorry?
I'm not sure if you know, but there's a custom that
the son-in-law is hung upside down after the honeymoon.
Is there such a thing?
There is.
What did I do to deserve that from you?
Thanks to your chatting on the phone,
my wife nagged me all night.
Tae-young is so strange.
It's your fault for calling so often.
I like falling asleep talking on the phone.
I'm disappointed.
I thought you were charismatic at first.
I didn't know you were such a crybaby.
Let me be.
Maybe I'll snap out of it after we're married.
I bet you'll only say three phrases after we're married.
Let's eat. The kids? Go to sleep.
Am I right?
I'll write them down.
Let's eat. The kids? Go to sleep.
I'll make you beg me to say something else.
That won't work on me. I'll say only three phrases too.
Enjoy. They're sleeping. Good night.
You can't let me win just once, can you?
I know one victory is all you need.
Gang-suk.
Gang-suk!
Dan-ah!
How can you be so cruel?
Someone's playing tricks on them.
Please save her, Grandfather.
Please save my aunt.
I'm afraid of how my past will haunt her.
I'll tell you what you mean to me in due time.
So please wait.
What the heck are you doing?
He's my husband.
Let's not fight.
We don't have a child to stop us.
What should I do?
You'll always feel lonely.
Stop coming to me.
It's a matter of whether that family falls or not.
I can't relax.
I'm afraid he might be looking at us from somewhere.
TO BE CONTINUED...
