(Episode 53)
Return it.
What?
This is really popular among kids right now.
I understand that you feel sorry for Bang Geul.
But it becomes a problem if you resolve it like this.
Will you just keep buying her stuff?
What do you mean?
I got this because all the kids play with it nowadays.
What did Bang Geul do with other stuff like this?
She played with it for a while, and abandoned it shortly after.
That's when I was too busy.
You're only doing this to feel better about yourself.
How could you say that?
What do you know?
Why are you being like this?
I am Bang Geul's dad.
I'm Bang Geul's mum!
What's going on with you two?
Are you arguing again?
Stop it.
Don't do this on Bang Geul's birthday.
I'm sorry, Mother.
He just said something that hurt my feelings.
You're not the only one who's hurt.
I'm doing my best for Bang Geul, too.
I didn't say you weren't.
You just said, "What do you know?"
How could you say that?
Yes.
I feel guilty about Bang Geul every single day.
That's why I want to get her anything and everything.
You'll continue to work, right?
Will you keep being fussy about this?
Fussy?
Hold this.
My goodness.
I want to do everything for her even if it means we cut our expenses.
This isn't being fussy.
Ms Lee.
What is it?
Why are you so angry?
Mi So bought...
a teaching aid for Bang Geul that cost 450 dollars.
She's a big spender.
It's not about the money.
I'm just sad to see how she continues to feel guilty.
She needs to make her understand,
not relieve her stress by buying her stuff.
When I was a kid, everything around us was a teaching aid.
Why does she have to buy expensive toys?
What would Bang Geul want?
What she wants is not toys.
She just wants to spend time with her mum.
I didn't let you take childcare leave for this.
I'm not...
being fussy.
All the other kids have it.
I didn't want Bang Geul to feel left out.
That's why I bought it.
All mums are the same.
Why does he have to get so angry about it?
He must have felt sad.
He was probably worried about money, too.
It was so expensive, so I didn't buy a new one.
Ga Ram can use it later, too.
I thought a lot before buying it.
You should make up with him.
It's Bang Geul's birthday.
You shouldn't fight.
I'm so hurt.
He thinks I'm fussy.
How can he say that?
It must be Bang Geul.
Bang Geul is home. Let's go in.
Welcome home.
Min Ho came, too.
Jae Min.
Are we ready to throw Bang Geul a birthday party?
Did anything happen?
It's nothing.
Bang Geul, Min Ho, let's go in.
You should blow out the candles.
Jae Min, have you prepared some food?
I followed your recipes.
I see.
Can I have a taste?
Forget it.
Let's just blow out the candles and leave.
What's going on?
I had a fight with Mi So.
I didn't know you two ever fight.
Every married couple fights from time to time.
I mean...
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you.
- Happy birthday, dear Bang Geul - Happy birthday, dear Bang Geul.
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you.
Bang Geul, blow out the candles.
Make a wish, Bang Geul.
Okay.
Come on.
Well done.
Happy birthday, Bang Geul.
I love you, my girl.
Right.
This is for you.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Wow, it's my family.
Ms Ok.
The candles are out now. We should get going.
Let's all leave.
- Okay. - Well...
Let's get going, Min Ho.
Can't we stay for the cake?
Let's just go home.
Let's go.
Ga Ram.
It's so fluffy.
Mi So is so reckless.
How can she buy a toy for 450 dollars?
It's a used one.
As Ga Ram can use it later, too,
she decided to make an investment.
Regardless,
she'll continue to work.
She can't spend so much money just because she feels sorry.
All the other kids have it, too.
She didn't want Bang Geul to feel left out.
Jae Min should understand her.
Are you blaming my son?
What did Mi So do wrong?
I don't want you to get in a fight.
I'll go down with Min Ho. Let's go, Min Ho.
Mother.
Can you believe her?
I've been really nice to her. How can she do this to me?
You should understand her. She must be sad for Mi So.
Does she think...
she's the only mother here? I'm a mother, too.
- Calm down. - Forget it.
- Is it tasty? - Yes.
I'm full now. I don't want to eat more.
Don't be like that. Your dad will get angry.
You can stop eating if you want.
Don't.
Dad hates it when you don't finish your food.
You had cake, too.
You can stop eating.
Bang Geul, finish your food.
What's wrong with you?
I'll go and feed Ga Ram. Finish up.
Did you have a fight?
No, we didn't.
You really don't have to finish your food.
Were you hungry?
I didn't say that because of money.
I just don't want you to feel guilty about being away from Bang Geul.
You'll continue to work. Are you going to stay that way?
Bang Geul never asks us to buy anything for her.
Let's see. Are you done?
Ga Ram, do you want to take a bath?
Let's go.
Here we go, Ga Ram.
Should we make a pillar with the rings?
Look at this.
Here we go.
We're making a pillar.
Ga Ram, what's this?
It's a circle.
Let's see.
Bang Geul, you're so good at it.
It's full now.
Look at this.
What are you waiting for, Eun Sol? Blow out the candles.
Thank you for being my daughter, Eun Sol.
Here. This is for you.
You don't want it?
Take it.
What are these tickets?
When your semester is over, you and I will go to the States.
Hyuk Gi.
We'll travel around the States first,
and when your semester starts, I'll come back to Korea.
Okay.
Let's eat.
Eun Sol.
Can we talk?
If,
by any chance,
Mum and Dad...
don't live together any longer...
I'm going to live with you.
I don't want to go to the States.
I wished for that before blowing out the candles.
Even if that happens,
you know that Mum and Dad will always love you, right?
I know that.
I'm sorry, Eun Sol.
Mum and Dad are...
making you sad.
I'm sorry.
It's driving me crazy.
She hasn't been talking to me since then.
You'll have to wait until Ms Lee feels all right.
Mi So can be really stubborn.
What if she stays that way for months?
That'd be terrible.
Is she the only one who is hurt? I'm hurt, too.
"What do you know?"
Haven't I become a lot better since I took childcare leave?
You're a totally different person now.
Why did she get me wrong?
I didn't say that because of money.
She's too busy to play with Bang Geul. We don't need them.
When it comes to toys, even Solomon couldn't give you an answer.
How am I supposed to solve this?
Gosh.
I'm not even married, and I'm already sick of it.
Why are all married men the same?
They all walk on eggshells around their wife.
What did you just say?
How can you say such a thing?
You can't be too careful around your wife.
That's the key to happiness.
Especially if she's angry,
you have to be extra careful.
You can become a sofa, avoiding her route.
You can become a dining chair, avoiding her route.
This is so frustrating.
If I never get married,
it's all because of you two.
You should eat.
Bang Geul, I'm going to work.
Let's stop this already.
Stop what?
Okay.
You can do whatever you want.
What do I want?
- Mum. - Yes?
I'm sorry, Bang Geul.
We aren't fighting, we're...
I know that you two fought.
We're an awful example to her.
He shouldn't have said that I was being fussy.
(Jae Min)
My goodness, Mr Yoo.
Oh my gosh.
I almost made the call.
Why? Aren't you allowed to call that person?
I don't know.
My goodness.
What was that?
Teacher, please look closely to his allergy symptoms.
Don't worry.
We posted his results on our wall.
Okay.
Ga Ram, you can't cry every single time we part.
Do you want to stay here for an hour with him?
May I do that?
Many parents do that while their kids adjust.
In that case, I'll stay for an hour.
All right.
We're going to learn to add today.
Look, 7 plus 2 becomes 9.
Now, next problem.
Two plus...
what equals nine?
Today's class was fun.
- Wasn't it? - Eun Sol.
Do you want to come over this weekend?
Why?
My mum's holding a birthday party for me.
I'll ask my mum.
Do come.
Aren't you going to invite Bang Geul?
I'm not playing with her.
Let's go, Bang Geul.
Okay.
Hello.
Dad.
Mum.
- Hey, Bang Geul. - Mum.
Hey, Eun Sol.
- Did you have fun today? - Yes.
Hello.
Hello, Bang Geul.
- Hello. - Hi, Eun Sol.
- Let's go home. - Okay.
Mum.
Yu Ra's weird.
Why?
She now only speaks with me and not with Bang Geul.
Really?
Eun Sol, wait here.
Mr Kim.
Well...
I have to tell you something.
Bang Geul, could you run over to Eun Sol?
Okay.
What is it?
Yu Ra is...
trying to hurt Bang Geul because of Eun Sol.
She's only speaking with Eun Sol.
I'm sorry Eun Sol caused this.
I thought you should know.
I'll talk to Bang Geul.
(A Woman's Story, weekly menu)
(Monday's menu)
(Tuesday's menu)
(Wednesday's menu)
Did you already finish making the weekly menu?
I've cooked a lot of meals already.
Did you make sure it has all the nutrients?
Of course.
Can you send this to my email?
- I have to go in for a meeting. - Okay.
What is he doing?
Can't you see? He's studying.
Studying?
Min Ho, what's going on? You aren't even fooling around.
What's with him?
We're going to make hamburgers after he studies five pages.
Is he really this focused for just a hamburger?
I told you. He needed a motivation.
- Goodbye, Son. - I'm finished.
- Dad, check it. - Okay.
Give it to me.
- My goodness. - All right.
Let's see how well you did.
Okay, time to see your grade.
Let's see.
Oh my goodness.
You got everything right so far.
I'll get everything right.
Don't be so hasty.
What's hasty?
I don't know.
Wow, good job. You got everything right.
Should I let him quit the academies?
No, he just studied through a few pages.
I like how this is served.
- It's very simple. - I see.
This is a weekly menu from A Woman's Story.
Can't we ever meet this person?
She just won't give in.
It's hard for me to play along with her.
How's the menu?
It's great.
The recipes are simple...
and nutritious.
You should give her your weekly menu, too.
I don't think she needs help.
Mrs Cinderella won a recipe contest.
A Woman's Story should work around Mrs Cinderella's recipes.
Then you can contact her yourself.
I'll give you her email.
Bang Geul.
Didn't Yu Ra make you upset?
I think Yu Ra did that because of a misunderstanding.
You can be friends again if we resolve it.
Really?
Of course.
Us parents will do our best to do that,
so don't worry.
I want to be friends with both Eun Sol and Yu Ra.
Of course. You should do that.
My gosh, Bang Geul. You're such a good girl.
Come here.
Don't worry.
Okay.
Hey, what are you up to?
I'm so sorry for what happened yesterday.
I was really frustrated.
I wanted to help financially,
but I couldn't step up.
He's not like that because of money.
I'm not saying he is.
I can give them 450 dollars, too.
Don't misunderstand me.
This is why in-laws should never become close.
Goodbye, then.
My gosh, this is bad.
My goodness.
Unbelievable.
Gosh.
Yes, Bang Geul.
Did your parents make up?
Really?
Okay.
I don't think I should stay low.
What brings you here?
Where's Bang Geul?
In her room. Why?
What's with her?
Bang Geul. Be honest.
Did you ask your mum to get you that thing?
No.
Did she buy that because you asked her?
She didn't.
How dare you ask her for something...
that expensive?
I'm sorry, Grandma.
What's with you, Bang Geul?
You never asked for that.
Do you know how much trouble your parents go through?
How can you do this?
Mother.
What's the matter?
Bang Geul, you should be considerate to your parents.
Why aren't you listening to me?
Bang Geul never asked us to buy her that.
It was my idea.
Don't try to defend her.
It's true. I was feeling sorry for her, so I bought it for her.
Bang Geul. Never do this again.
Okay.
What's wrong with you? It was my idea.
I'm sorry, Bang Geul.
It's my fault.
I'm okay.
Mum, stop coming here if you're going to keep doing this.
I'm not coming back even if you beg me to.
Mother. You really shouldn't do this.
You keep hurting Bang Geul.
I hate her so much today.
Don't stop me even if I talk badly about her.
Be my guest.
You can go on all night, Mi So.
I'm so upset.
I've been...
hurt by Mother so many times.
I let it slide because I didn't want to be rude to her.
Do you think I don't know that?
She always hurts other people with her words.
She embarrassed me so many times in front of you.
Still,
since she started coming here often,
I've thought she's kind at heart.
But what was wrong with her today?
Why did she have to yell at Bang Geul?
It's probably because she's angry at us.
I really hate her today.
I hate you, too. You're her son.
Does she realise that she's giving her son a hard time?
Goodness.
Is it you, Bang Geul?
How are Mum and Dad doing?
Drink it.
After badmouthing Mother,
I feel a bit better.
Already?
No way. You can go on.
You can talk all night.
Are you sure?
They made up.
See? I told you.
I knew they'd make up.
What are they doing?
They're talking badly about you.
Me? What are they saying?
She's like an old witch.
Mum said you're like an old witch.
An old witch?
What else are they saying?
That is not even close.
She reminds me of the movie, "Misery".
Dad is talking about "Misery".
"Misery"?
What does he mean?
I'm not sure, but it sounds very bad.
That's not enough.
Do you remember the ghost from the movie, "The Ring"?
That's her. The ghost from "The Ring".
She shows up out of nowhere.
They say you're the ghost from "The Ring".
Also, you show up out of nowhere.
I show up out of nowhere?
That's enough. I'll get hurt.
I'm hanging up.
An old witch?
A ghost?
I show up out of nowhere?
What was it about "Misery"?
(Misery)
What's that?
Those brats.
After all,
we made up thanks to Mother.
I guess.
I got angry...
because you called me fussy.
I got angry...
because you said I don't know anything.
I'm sorry.
I was upset.
Same here.
I've never thought you're fussy.
Anyway,
I swear not to buy any teaching aid again.
What is it?
Ga Ram is such a bad son.
Do as you want.
I'll divorce you.
In return, give up Eun Sol.
What are you talking about?
I can't trust someone like you with my precious daughter.
