- Episode 45 -
Don't I look like my Tae Min?
Now that I think about it, there is a resemblance.
Thanks to you I feel really great.
A mother of a fourth grader, how old would I be?
You saw me 10 years younger than I am.
But you do look very young.
Until Teacher Kim arrives, would you like to wait inside?
Okay.
Would you like to sit here?
I'll bring a refreshing cup of tea.
Alright. Thank you.
Fool. You saw her in a picture and you couldn't even remember.
If she is Tae Min's mother, then she is also Sang Min's mother.
So, did you thank your father and mother?
You guys didn't thank them.
Yes.
You shouldn't be like that.
Because your dad and mom went to the mart and apologized to Soo Ho's mom that
what was about to be referred to the school violence committee was canceled.
We... are aware of that.
Then why didn't you say anything?
Because I felt awkward and also I felt apologetic too.
Woo Young, you felt that way too?
Yes. I'm sorry about what I did
and thank them, but
when I was trying to say it, I felt embarrassed.
It's okay, it's possible to have such feelings.
But what you feel in the heart has to be at ease.
Even though how much I feel sorry and feel thankful,
if you're not at ease and were to keep hiding it,
and time passes without the person you're dealing with being aware of it, then all is for naught. Don't you think so?
Even though it's late, go today
and thank your parents. Understand?
These are the media coverages that came out after our fashion show.
Great. I'll review it.
Overall, the response is good.
Putting Kim Sang Min at the finale, would be great for publicity.
Everyone knows today is Wednesday, right?
It's not just an ordinary Wednesday. It's the officially get off work for Loving Family Day.
A happy family will build a company's competitiveness.
What the? Did you memorize what our CEO said?
It's a good saying.
When I changed jobs, I was wondering what was so good about being recognized as the best family friendly company.
Every Wednesday, we get off work on time. Also, fathers can take paternity leave without feeling awkward?
That is really good.
When I get married later, I'm definitely going to use it.
I feel so good that we don't have to work overtime today.
Team Leader and Assistant Manager Ahn, if you go home early today, wouldn't the kids be really happy?
Of course they would. They are only waiting for me.
Really? That's news to me.
Since there's no overtime today, are you guys going on a date?
What's wrong with that? It's "Love your Family" day.
- I'm sorry, but~ - I have an appointment.
Where would you be going?
You don't need to know.
I also have an appointment.
- With whom? - A female.
It's omija tea.
The color is really soft.
Thank you, Teacher.
It's nothing, Mother.
Why don't you sit.
Yes.
I wanted to see my Tae Min teaching a class. That's why I'm here.
I went to the salon, so I'm late.
It's a shame.
But...
It seems you are very close with Teacher Kim Tae Min.
He and I went through the same training.
We're college alumni.
Really?
Oh my.
And you both got assigned to the same school?
The two of you have a remarkable fate.
Do you perhaps have a boyfriend?
Excuse me?
I'm sorry. I know I'm stepping out of line, but
having two boys
makes me instinctively consider any nice young ladies as potential daugther-in-law.
Well... I do have a boyfriend, but...
Oh. I see.
Truthfully, Mother.
Yes?
Hello, my name is Lee Yeong Tae.
Yes.
Truthfully, I am
Kim San Min's girlfriend.
What?
Oh my. You and
my eldest, Sang Min, are dating?
I apologize for not greeting you immediately.
You're not aware of Sang Min and I,
so I was unsure if I should pretend as though you were.
Still, I feel that I should apologize for
the mistake I made before, and that seems like the right thing to do.
For not coming out to meet you at the appointed place,
I deeply apologize for that.
That is all right.
You must have had a reason.
No... more than that...
How can there be this kind of connection?
Come over here. Come here and sit down.
Yes.
How did you meet my Sang Min?
Did Tae Min introduce him?
No, that wasn't it. But it just turned out that way.
I found out just recently that Sang Min and Tae Min are brothers.
How can something like this happen?
The world is big but small, they say, but still...
You must have been really shocked when you found out, right?
Yes.
But... seriously...
Why did you suddenly not come out that day?
I was so curious to see who my Sang Min was dating.
I think I know why.
Sang Min did something wrong, didn't he?
- Excuse me? - He is a bit like that.
Although he is old enough but still acts like a kid.
He must have made you really upset, didn't he?
No. No, at that time, I~
I know everything. Everything.
I know my son the best.
Yeong Tae.
Please be understanding.
It's because he is so naive.
He may seem temperamental and immature.
But he's warm-hearted and kind.
Yes, I'm fully aware.
If you went to college with Tae Min,
then you've must have done well in school too.
We're a family of scholars, you see.
Everyone has a good brain.
But within our family, Sang Min is a bit unique.
It's possible that the brain for academics went to athleticism.
He's a mutant, mutant.
That's why I was worried that he might bring someone like him as a bride-to-be.
But I don't know how he found someone as great as you.
You are the perfect daughter-in-law for our family. So I'm very happy.
Marriage isn't in my thought~
Oh, Mom.
Why are you here, Mom?
I came to see you in action in class, but I guess I was late.
Instead, I met your hyung's girlfriend.
I'm more happy about it.
Tae Min, why haven't you told me about Yeong Tae?
Ah... That is...
Then, I'll be going now.
There are things that I have to finish up.
Oh, is that so? It would be nice if we can eat together.
Let's set a date and have a meal together.
With San Min, to fufill what we couldn't do last time.
All right. I'll speak to Sang Min about it. Then...
- I'll be going. - Okay. Thanks.
You, come here.
You, why didn't you tell me about Yeong Tae?
When I was talking about Sang Min's girlfriend, how can you pretend to not know anything.
That's something the person directly involved should tell you. It's not right for me to tell you about it first.
What does it matter who I hear it from?
If you knew she was such a good person, you should've told me.
What do you think?
Since you've seen her since you went to the university, you should know her well.
You read her well. Yeon Tae is a really good person.
See. Didn't I read her well?
I knew from the first moment I saw her.
Also, Hyung really likes Yeon Tae.
I've never seen Hyung like anyone so much.
He seems like a completely different person ever since he met Yeon Tae.
Why? How is he a different person?
Hmm... for the good.
Before he was self-centered and thought that everyone should accommodate him.
He had that tendency.
Since he met Yeon Tae, he tries to accommodate others.
He is trying hard to be the man that Yeon Tae likes.
He does seem different from when he dated in the past.
It's the first time he wanted to introduce someone.
I think that Sang Min met a really good woman this time.
Mom, you really like Yeon Tae.
Of course. How can I not?
She seems nice, gentle, and smart.
She is the best eldest daughter-in-law for me.
What about Jin Joo?
She's well...
I also like Jin Joo.
You're planning to teach Woo Ri English yourself, Oppa?
Binnie is taking private lessons upstairs you know. I think Woo Ri is jealous of Binnie.
Woo Ri is very ambitious when it comes to her education. She is very shrewd too.
But I can't be continuously teaching her either.
I'm planning to teach her the basics before I send her to the academy at least, while she's on break.
This would be good for all her basic needs.
Tell her to take an after school class starting from the second semester. The native speaker English lesson is quite good at our school.
What do you think about this?
This one seems to be good too.
Do you want some too, Oppa?
No, I just want some water.
Binnie, you should put the cup you used into the sink.
Why are you also being this way Oppa? I just forgot okay?!
Binnie, you forgot to turn off the light.
Where are you going?
They also get after me
for not putting away my dirty dishes after snacking too.
Why are they making you do such a thing when you're just a child?
What else? What else?
Even Brother is like that now.
He just got after me for not putting the dirty cup away in the sink.
They even get after me for not turning the light off after I'm done using the bathroom.
Grandma, I'm also responsible for organizing all the shoes in the entrance way.
Since there are so many people living in the house, it gets messy real quick and
so it's very difficult and tiring.
And Brother is responsible for sorting all the recyclables in the trash?
Trash?
Yeon Tae, Kim Sang Min proposed to you right?
Yeah...
So, are you seriously planning to marry him?
I rejected his proposal though, Oppa.
Did you? It seems like he really likes you a lot though.
I really like him a lot too.
But I'm still not so sure about marriage yet.
We barely started going out not too long ago.
Yeon Tae, you're good in every way but you think too much.
Just follow your heart, Girl.
What's so important about when you met him? You should just go for it if you like him. Geesh.
It's so amazing hearing that from you, my oldest brother.
You also have a tendency to think a lot too, you know.
That's why you should listen to me. I also realized this truth about the world not too long ago.
- Oppa. - Yeah.
- You know my friend Tae Min, right? - Yeah.
You mean Soo's homeroom teacher that's dating Jin Joo, right?
Yeah. He is Sang Min's younger brother.
What? Seriously?!
Son-in-law, what do you think about Kim Sang Min? What do you think of him as Jin Joo's husband?
He is handsome, capable and manly. I think he is perfect in every way.
Don't you think we live in a really small world? Sang Min and Tae Min are brothers after all.
It seems like Jin Joo is deeply in love with him too.
Yeah. Tae Min told me that he wants to get married early.
Jin Joo also doesn't mind getting married either.
So, Jin Joo doesn't know that her boyfriend is your boyfriend's brother?
Yeah. Not yet. But Tae Min will tell Jin Joo pretty soon though.
Please pretend that you don't know about this, okay Oppa?
It's complicated, isn't it?
I don't want to get married right away like I told you earlier.
But I do think about Sang Min being the person I will marry someday.
But Tae Min and Jin Joo really like each other too.
And perhaps they could break up if things don't work out...
This is actually bothering me, Oppa.
It's natural for you to be bothered by this.
If you were to get married you would be marrying into the same house as her.
But there is something that worries me even more.
Mom and the in-laws are not getting along well these days you know.
Mom would really hate the fact that we will be connected through marriage again.
How can such a little thing do house chores, Madam?
Why are they telling her to turn off the light when the power bill isn't even all that much?
Madam, do you think you can go over there and talk to them about it?
Don't t you think it would be better to get the kids to study more, instead of doing chores with the time they have?
You have no idea how dissatisfied the kids are.
My grandchildren told me that their dad has changed too.
Madam, it's natural for him to change. It's just the right thing for him to do.
Pardon? What are you talking about?
The environment has changed you know.
So, both the children and their dad should change too. How would they be able to survive without any change like before?
The other kids haven't changed though.
They still have their mom and grandma too while my grandchildren are the only ones going through change you know!
My grandchildren lived in a huge house comfortably without any hardship,
And how are they now? Go take a look at them. My grandchildren are the only ones that are going through hardship.
Are you saying that my daughter-in-law is discriminating Soo and Bin against her real children?
As you can see that's not the case.
She is working but still graceful when it comes to doing house work too.
And she is also trying really hard to become affectionate towards Soo and Bin too.
Just let them be.
How can I just let them be when the children are having a difficult time?
I tried to do that too.
I tried my best not to be burdensome towards my son-in-law and his new wife.
That's why I came here to talk to you about it instead of talking about it to them directly.
This is what I was worried about the most when you moved up there.
You live right downstairs
and if you just constantly stand up for the kids how are they supposed to be attached to their new home?
Try to look at it from our perspective.
It's different for you because you didn't live in the same house with the kids.
It's not like you are affectionate towards the kids as much as I am either.
How could you say that?
Soo is my oldest grandchild for goodness sake.
And the only granddaughter I have is Binnie. Why wouldn't I have any affection towards the kids?!
You don't think I didn't visit the kids because I didn't have any affection towards them when they were living with you?
I held it in even if I missed them and wanted to see them.
I was curious to how my son and my grandson was living.
But even if I was concerned about them I did my best to avoid going over to your house.
It's because I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable. And that's why I didn't interfere either.
But back then it just ended with curiosity. However, it's different now.
When Soo and Binnie were living with us,
were you concerned that we were going to give them a hard time?
Back then they were being raised by their maternal grandparents.
But now they are being raised by a stepmom.
Could somebody else's kids be the same as their own?
So, you live in the same building as them
and you moved over there so you can spy on them?
No, it's just that the son-in-law won't let us meet with the kids that's all.
Madam! Please stop talking so thoughtlessly.
When did my son not let you meet with the kids?!
You barely moved up there just after a week they got married!
How could you say that when you've known my son long enough huh?!
He is not that type of person and you know that!
He didn't even invite us during the open house.
I also wanted to see how are grandchildren are doing and we were so curious about them but they did an open house without us.
Why did he just invite his own family? We are not even family to him?!
Madam, you have to consider my new daughter-in-law too.
You should try to be in her shoes.
Even if she is a thoughtful girl, would she want to even consider taking care of her husband's in-laws too?
How come you only think about your new daughter-in-law and not me?
You are exactly the same as son-in-law.
Madam, right now my son should be good to my new daughter-in-law.
And that would be better for you and the kids in the long run. You got what you wanted in the end right?
Private lesson for the kids. The kids were able to do that in the end right?
You don't think my son has no plans for anything?
If he is good to his wife then she will be good to the kids too.
And she will also be good to you too in the end.
I feel sorry for my kids whenever I see them these days.
Soo wasn't like this before but the other day he came home all beat up from a fight.
And today Binnie came over and started to complain about this and that.
Why did he have to get remarried for?
Madam, Just give them a little more time.
And put your trust in my son and my new daughter-in-law for a little bit.
You said that you think of my son as your own son, right?
We are living in a time where even sons become strangers after they get married.
That's what I heard.
If you interfere for no good reason, both the son and daughter-in-law,
will become nothing but strangers.
So, are you saying that I should just let them be even if the kids are going through such hardship?!
So, are you saying that I should just ignore everything even if the children are going through child abuse?!
What do you mean by child abuse? What are you talking about?
What is child abuse to you?
If the children are miserable and having a hard time then that itself is child abuse you know.
You don't even read the newspaper?
Whenever I see an article like that it scares me so much that I can't even sleep you know.
I came here hoping that you would do something about the kids.
Our situations are very different so there is no way I can change that.
Madam, you're just going to go like this?
Yes I am. You guys are so careless about the kids and only trust in your new daughter-in-law,
So I should try to do something at least.
Those people have no affection for the kids whatsoever. Paternal family my ass.
It's because those people have never raised the kids on their own, that's why.
Oh my, hello Ma'am.
She seems to come here often. She never comes by our house even though we are neighbors for goodness sake.
Were you just coming out after visiting my in-laws?
Yes, Madam...
Thanks for the fruit that you sent us last time. The kids really enjoyed them.
I also thank you for helping us out at the supermarket because of what the kids have done.
It's great that you are thanking me so early.
What does she mean by child abuse? She thinks she's so smart because she heard that word from somewhere for goodness sake.
I don't know why she speaks so thoughtlessly like that.
Mother, I'm here.
Hello, Father.
Oh, you're here.
What brings you here, Dear?
I got off today at a regular time but it's still bright outside because it's the summer time now.
- Have a seat here Dear. - All right, Dear.
Yes.
So why didn't you go home to get some rest since you got off early and all?
Is something the matter?
I came here to ask you something.
And I can use that as an excuse to say hello to you as well.
How thoughtful of you.
I'm glad you came. Family members get closer by seeing each other more often you know.
Here... I would like to know Soo and Binnie's birthday if I may...
Oh, I see.
I guess you are very concerned about it since it will be their first birthday since you got married right?
Yes, Mother. I want to make it count since this is their first birthday with me.
Here you go Dear.
It looks like Binnie's birthday is coming up soon.
Binnie's birthday is in the middle of summer and Soo's birthday is in the middle winter.
Just take it easy on this.
You are a working woman so you don't have to work so hard you know.
I understand, Father.
But actually... about the kids late mother..
You know, Soo and Binnie's mother.
When is the day she died?
Why? Are you planning to do the ceremony for them?
Yes, I think I might just have to do that.
Actually, there was a problem between the boys not too long ago.
There was this kid in Soo and Woo Young's class
and it seemed like that kid teased them by asking them about our marriage.
Wow, something like that happened to them?
Yes, Father.
Because of that Soo and Woo Young attacked the kid so that turned into a fight.
So, we went to the supermarket that's owned by that kid's mother so we can apologize to her.
And we saw Soo and Binnie's maternal grandparents working there.
They were working there so the kid's mother can forgive our kids for what they did.
Oh dear.
I felt the burden when they moved downstairs and I also hated them for doing that.
But I really felt appreciative towards them that day.
I also really want to be good to them in the future too.
But, as I was thinking about that
I realized that I should also take care of the death day anniversary for the children's mother too.
Yeah, I know. I feel so grateful that you are considering their feelings too.
Thank you so much.
To some degree they might seem very distant to you
but on the other hand, they still happen to be the maternal grandparents of the kids you know.
Okay, I won't ask you to come over to our house and act like a daughter-in-law to us.
If there is something that you want to do for us, you should do it for your husband's in-laws instead.
To them, the grandchildren are what their dead daughter left them.
So, I'm pretty sure they are very emotional about that you know.
And yes, we have a daughter too so if we put ourselves in their position,
I'm sure they are in a very heartrending situation.
You also have a daughter of your own right?
So, we should try to understand them a little bit more. All right?
Yes, Father. I will do that.
Now all I have to do is stir fry it right?
Making fried rice is nothing. First of all, I should put in some coconut oil.
Honey, I think Sang Min is a bit strange here.
Hurry up and come home dear.
Hey, I really don't like you.
I only thought that the conditions and terms were bad but you also lack having a good personality too girlie.
How could you smile in front of Tae Min
while not even being affected by it?
I have no idea where he found such a wonderful girl like you from.
It makes me feel so good that you are a perfect person to be my daughter-in-law.
I thought she was going to hate me. But I'm glad either way.
Hyung, this is tasty.
Yeah, I know. This is extremely good, considering that you made this for the first time.
Honey, I thought it was only Tae Min that took after your cooking skills but I think even Sang Min has the skills too.
This is really delicious. My oldest son, you are the best.
I will make this for you often starting from now on.
Oh, sure thing.
Honey, I went to Tae Min's school today and guess who I met?
Huh?
Sang Min's girlfriend. I met Yeon Tae today.
Oh, did you now?
You met Yeon Tae?
Uh huh. It just happened that way somehow.
You made your mom so surprised you know.
How can she be such a fine young lady? How were you able to meet such a well behaved young lady like her?
You know that I'm very sophisticated when it comes to choosing a woman. Don't you think so, Brother?
That's true, Brother.
It seems like your mother really is fond of that girl.
Definitely. She looked very wise and virtuous compared to a lot of young people today.
She's a perfect match for such a clumsy kid like our Sang Min.
Yeon Tae and I are match made in heaven, Mom.
So why do you want to marry so late when you have such a wonderful future bride like her?
Just marry her already.
Marriage?
A great girl like that doesn't come by that often you know.
You should get a hold of her while she's still around and make her yours.
You are no longer young now. Hurry up and marry her already, okay?
You're right Mom but Yeon Tae would like to date me more instead of marriage for now...
She's probably acting that way because she still doesn't have the confidence in you yet.
What reason would she have to not want to get married to someone she likes right?
You have to work harder at it. You should give her the confidence that you will be a good husband to her. It's all about the confidence.
Mom, I want to hurry up and get married too but why are you telling me to take my time?
You said that you also like Jin Joo as your daughter-in-law too right?
Yeah. You're still in your 20s though. Right?
It's not like I have a big age gap with Hyung either.
Anyways, be good to her starting from now on.
Things that are valuable and worthwhile are usually hard to find. You got that?
Yes, Yes.
Hey, Brother. I'm so worried because Mom seems to be rushing into our marriage.
You know how Mom is right?
She's the type that goes for it without even looking back once she is focused on something.
Of course, I know. Your personality is exactly like Mom's, you know.
I'm worried because Yeon Tae might run away again because of Mom.
It's not even been that long since she changed her mind about breaking up with me.
But it's still so many times better than her telling you to take your time with your marriage though.
I really want to hurry up and get married but why are they all telling me that I should get married later?
Mom and Jin Joo are both like that.
Why? Your girlfriend also told you that she wants to get married later too?
Yeah. She said that she wants to ease off with the marriage thing until she establishes herself with her work.
All right. Let's see about summing up the situation here.
We both have to get married later. Right?
But both of us would love to get married to our girlfriends right away even though we will eventually marry them in the end.
But mom completely hates it when there is someone who knows each other that's involved with the marriage, whether it's double relation between the family.
Then here is the conclusion. We have to make Mom not oppose both of our marriages
by getting her to be completely attached to both of our girlfriends.
Yeah, that's true.
All right then. You should tell your girlfriend everything for the time being. Tell her that the person that Yeon Tae is dating is me.
Why do I have to say that?
Think about it for a moment, I will explain it to you.
Your girlfriend and my girlfriend
used to be in laws and if mom finds out about this she would really hate this right?
Then in order for us to stop that from happening, she would have to like both of those girls so much
that she wouldn't be able to live without them as her daughters-in-law. We would have to make it that way.
In order for us to do that, the four of us would have to all be on the same page.
And because of that, all of us would have to share everything we know to each other.
And with that we would be able to ask each other for help later on you know. Right?
Yup. I think you're right Hyung.
This marriage is no ordinary one.
We would have to plan this and push it ahead very carefully.
Wow, You seem so smart at a time like this Brother, even though I was the one that was better in school.
Look here Brother, I'm actually a smart guy, it's just that I'm not that interested in studying that's all.
You think that sports is all done by the physical body right? No, it isn't. You do it with your head you know.
Anyways, just like what you said, we are all on one team now.
All right man. Good luck my brother.
Okay, Brother.
Let's do the cross thing that we haven't done in awhile.
Mother, why are looking at the script so diligently?
I'm reading this because I'm so curious about the main characters.
Hey. It's great that Ho Tae is the director for this drama.
I'm the only one that can see what happens next.
Yes. But Mother-in-law, you can't tell anyone about the contents.
Do you think I'm a fool? I'm not going to tell anyone and keep it to myself.
Hey, do you remember when we brought kimbap to the set?
There was a really pretty girl there. Do you remember?
Who?
She was slim and had a good figure.
She had long hair and big eyes. Wasn't there an actress that was like a deer?
Was there someone like that? I don't remember, Mother-in-law.
That day, I was preoccupied with giving out the kimbap.
But what about that actress?
That girl has an affair with the main character's husband.
Why did she keep going after a man that isn't interested in her. Eventually, she caused trouble.
Looks like she will be on from next week.
That woman must have the role of seducing someone else's husband.
She looks so innocent, yet her skills for attracting men are extraordinary.
Even so! How can the husband give in to her?
His wife is only waiting for him.
That's so true.
It will be difficult to withstand such a beautiful woman who shows interest in you.
But, what do the actresses eat to make them so pretty?
It it something you're born with?
They take really good care of themselves.
They diligently workout and slightly get some work done.
No. That woman didn't get any work done on her face. It looked very natural.
She must've been really pretty.
Mother-in-law, by any chance did you have this dream?
A dream of getting an actress as your daughter-in-law.
Huh?
Many actresses get married to directors.
Chinese actress Tang, Tang Wei
I've never had that kind of dream. Does that make sense?
Is being an actress a normal job?
How can such ordinary people like us copy with that?
You never know if Ho Tae didn't meet me.
He could've gotten along well with that actress that you saw.
Don't speak such nonsense. Why don't you give Ho Tae a call.
But why isn't he coming? Is he working late again today?
No. He said he isn't working late today. He should be coming soon.
I'll go in.
Did she hear something? Why is she suddenly mentioning Tang Wei?
Oppa, why are you so late?
Hello?
Who is this? You... Who are you?!
Huh?
I feel so good today.
After taking the trouble shot, we reshot the full scene from the beginning.
Really?
You're the best. Your great acting skills,
I properly found out today.
Director, you're really...
Didn't I tell you that I'm the biggest fan of your short films?
When did I film that kind of movie?
I don't remember. I really can't remember.
Don't say that. Director, you're the best.
I'm not the best. You're the best. Haha.
If you keep doing that, then I can't sleep.
Soon Young! Did you come to get me?
You drank too much.
I feel really good today.
Isn't my wife pretty? She brought kimbap to the set.
Yes, Hello Madam.
Soon Young, she's not just any actress. She's the dark horse of our drama.
Her acting today was extraordinary.
Director, please don't keep doing that. You're flattering me too much today.
I'm so sorry I'm introducing myself at such a late hour. Were you surprised?
Yes. He's usually doesn't drink. How much did he drink?
Really? I didn't know.
He drank on my behalf today.
That's fine. You drink when you're in a good mood.
Director! Your wallet was stuck between the car seats.
Ok, Ok. Thank you. You can go in.
Ah! Don't forget what you felt earlier.
Here! Remember it here.
Yes, Director. I will make sure to remember your words.
I will... I will drink that for you.
[Divorce Registration Form]
So Young, you...
Let's get a divorce.
Kang So Young. I know you're upset with me. But this isn't something you give impulsively.
I'm not giving it to you out of impulse.
This is my response to you not wanting kids.
So Young
I did as much as I could for this family.
You were so preoccupied with the kids you left.
I waited and let you neglect me and my mother more than enough times.
I tried to convince you numerous times about having kids.
I...even went to Mi Jung.
I asked her to convince you to let us have kids.
To Mi Jung? Why did you do that?
Don't you know why I did that?
I was that desperate.
But what? Impulsive? Do you think this situation is impulsive?
I accepted so many people pointing their fingers at me,
but do you know why couldn't I let you go?
It's because I really wanted to live well with the person I chose.
That's why I did that. But what is this?
So Young.
I don't want to live like this anymore. Let's get a divorce.
Son-in-Law Yoon, what's wrong with So Young?
Why is she like that?
Did she just... ask you for a divorce?
Son-in-Law Yoon, I think that it's natural that you are concerned about your kids.
You divorced Mi Jung, not your kids.
Mother-in-law.
But, no matter how concerned you are about your kids, you shouldn't be like this to So Young.
You do know that I was strongly against your marriage with So Young.
What would be so great about stealing your friend's husband? It's obvious she will be walking on a thorny path for life.
It's the same for you too.
But what can you do? You already made the choice.
You chose this life. So don't you think you should try to live well?
You failed once. Do you want to repeat it?
You should understand how So Young feels at least once.
What So Young wants isn't completely absurd.
Is it that difficult to do what she wants?
Dad
You didn't sleep?
Thank you for that day... at the mart.
Please say "Thank you" to Ajumma for me.
Okay. Hurry and go to sleep.
Please sleep well.
- Are the kids sleeping now? - Yeah, they are.
Why are you smiling like that?
Soo thanked me just earlier.
He thanked me for apologizing to Su Ho's mother the other day at the supermarket. He also told me to say thank you to you too.
Did he? I'm glad.
I guess the kids are feeling a bit better now right?
Even though they probably are not completely better yet.
By the way, I have a favor to ask you.
What is it?
You know the mystery shopping project that our team is in charge of
And I told my sister-in-law who lives downstairs to send in an application for that
and I was wondering if you can review her application since you are in charge of this project.
My sister-in-law is not receiving any allowance and making her own money these days by working part time.
Team Leader Lee.
Don't you think you can't tell the difference between work and private life a little bit?
You're right. Sorry about that.
She is the younger sister of your former wife eh?
I feel a bit wierded out by this
but what can I not to do for such a wonderful husband like you right?
There's a saying that they would bow down to the post of a woman if she's a wonderful wife.
Thanks Honey.
Actually, I felt a little sad when my sister-in-law kept on asking me if she could call me brother-in-law not too long ago.
She said that you wouldn't like it if you heard that.
I did tell her that she could keep on calling me that though.
She should be calling you brother in law since that's what you are. What else can she address you as?
I'm not a small minded woman like that you know.
I do know. I know that you have a big heart, Ms. Ahn.
By the way, I heard something very interesting today.
Did I tell you that the guy that my sister in law is dating is the homeroom teacher of Soo and Woo Young?
Really?!
Didn't you say that the teacher of our boys is a very nice person right?
But the problem is that teacher
and Pro Kim are brothers.
Huh? Then, what's going on here...?
If your sister-in-law and Yeon Tae get married then they would be going from in-laws to being related again through their husbands being brothers with each other, right?
That's right. On top of that, the teacher of our boys and Yeon Tae went to the same teaches' college together too.
Why is this so complicated?
What kind of fate is this for goodness sake?
I know right?
But if the adults find out about this then they wouldn't like this at all would they?
Of course they wouldn't. They are in laws
so if they send both of their daughters away to the same household then the son in laws and your daughters would be all compared to, so there would be nothing good about that really.
It would be a different story if they got along already
but it seemed like mother and Soo's grandmother are not really getting along either.
I guess I will be the first one to be writing in our family note as your father.
I reflected upon a lot of things today as I was doing our family meeting today.
I thought that I knew everything about how you feel just because I'm your dad.
I was so confident that I would be able to understand everything that you're going through.
But I realized that was the most foolish thought of mine.
I felt bad when mom gave me a knuckle sandwich on the head, when Binnie was the one responsible to clean.
I only got in trouble when Soo was the one that didn't clean the bathroom.
You even told me that I wasn't gonna get any allowance and you didn't say anything about not giving Soo an allowance even after you found out that he was in the wrong.
I came and asked you a question about my homework but you didn't even answer me, instead you kept on only playing with Woo Joo.
All the actions that I took without much thought became a wound in your hearts
and I also think that I didn't think deeply enough to realize that I would make you guys misunderstand each other either.
But I want you kids to know that even I as your father makes mistakes too.
So, please point that out to me each time and allow me to look back on it as well.
My ears will always be open and this notebook will always be here too.
I will love you more and more. Let's become a happy family bit by bit, okay?
From dad.
What are you doing over there?
Have you seen this yet?
This is my mom's writing.
Today was a very difficult day for me. As I was watching Soo and Woo Young fall fast asleep after writing a letter of apology
and that made my heart hurt a lot.
I punished you kids even when I didn't know about anything.
And thoughtlessly tried to whip you, I'm sorry for that.
Come bring your calves over here.
I should've thought about why you had to do that.
And I should've listened to what you had to say first too.
I'm sorry for being such a foolish mother.
And Soo
He said that I'm teaming up with Woo Young because we're brothers now
and he sarcastically asked us if our mom and dad got married to each other.
Thank you for mustering up the courage to let us know honestly what happened.
Kids, being thoughtful and considerate towards each other
would make you want to hide your true feelings and endure all that pain on your own
and that could be the right choice to make from time to time.
However, we are a family right?
We cannot know about everything that happened to each other outside of the home right?
In order for us to understand each other we should be honest to each other bit by bit.
Don't you think so?
Soo and Woo Young, you did your morning exercise today and you enjoyed doing it right?
It's difficult when you're trying to get up in the morning but it makes your body and mind healthy.
Sol, let's try to put our strength together and exercise steadily every morning, okay?
And I hope that our whole family will participate in the morning exercise next time.
I feel like our family has climbed a very steep mountain today.
I'm so glad that this incident with Suho didn't become something bigger.
Lee Soo, Yoon Woo Young. Always
there will be your father and mother by your sides. Don't forget that, okay?
Hey, go away.
Why? Are you embarrassed?
No, I'm not!
I already thanked my dad.
I should've wrote it in the family notebook.
Aren't they coming out for the morning exercise?
Why aren't they coming out already? They should've been out by now.
Geesh.
It was over there on that side? How did they go all the way there already?
Son in law! Son in law!
Oh, father! What are you doing out here at a time like this sir?
What do you mean what brings me here?
I came out for a morning exercise that I usually do.
You came out to do some morning exercise with the kids right?
Yes, I just started doing this morning exercise with the kids.
How can the timing be so perfect like this?
I know right?
Why don't you go with us since you are out here already?
Should I?
- Yes, sir. - All right then.
- All right kids. So you been going this way for all this time? - Yes, grandpa.
Let's go that way now.
Mr. Black Knight.
Mr.Black Knight!
Mr. Black Knight, get up!
I told you to get up, Mr. Black Knight.
- Black Knight? - Get up.
But why in the world am I sleeping over here?
Mr Black Knight, come and eat your breakfast.
Soon Young, there's no soup?
We had some left over dried pollack soup but now its all gone since we ate it all.
I drank last night too.
What in the world is this? Are you trying to kill me by making my stomach flip all over?
Just eat, Mr. Black Knight.
Black Knight? What the heck is that?
Soon Young, are you mad at me about something?
Is it because I came home late and all drunk last night?
But how in the heck did I come home last night anyways?
Some pretty actress brought you home last night.
I guess she brought me home because she lives in the same neighborhood or something.
We had a party last night for getting over the 20% mark viewer rating yesterday.
And they were recommending me to drink the whole time for goodness sake. Soon Young, I thought I was gonna die last night.
I bet you drank so you can be the black knight for that actress.
Black Knight? Oh, so you're talking about that kind of black knight right?
My, this is so delicious.
Is it that good?
I feel like I can live now.
Sang Min, I'm sorry for causing you so much pain.
No, I'm the one that caused you pain.
Let's not think about the past.
- Let's just think about us, okay? - Okay.
By the way, I have something to give you.
What is it?
Give me your hand.
From now on, no matter what happens don't take this ring off. Okay?
No. I will make sure you never have a reason to take it off.
Don't worry. From now I on, I will never
take off the ring first.
I have something to tell you.
What is it? You met my mother?
Did you hear about it? What did your mother say?
What would she say?
Of course, she likes you. Yeon Doo, she must really like you.
Pretty and looked wise. She complimented you for a very long time.
Our mother is very picky.
How did you look so pretty in her eyes?
I didn't do anything.
Well, Yeon Doo is pretty even though she doesn't do anything.
It's a relief your mother approves of me.
I was worried because I stood you up last time.
Ah. Our Mom
invited you over for dinner.
Invitation to dinner?
It's just eating a meal together? Don't think too about it.
If it's burdensome, you don't have to go.
No, she invited me. When?
Whenever it's good for you. When will be good?
Let me think about it.
Here.
What is this? Are you giving it to me?
No, it's for your mother.
It's something that can only be bought at our salon. Many of our customers really like it.
I bought it thinking about your mother.
She will really like this. I'll give it to her.
But Jin Joo
do you know that you're more concerned about my mom than me lately?
Do you like my mom that much?
I want to get along well with your mother.
You are already getting along well. Our mom also really likes you.
I know you're hungry, but is this enough?
Yes. I was craving this from this morning. Let's hurry and eat.
Jin Joo, I have something to say to you.
Don't get too surprised. You can't be surprised.
Why? What is it?
Our Hyung is dating someone.
- It's Yeon Tae. / - What?
- Really? / - Yeah. I just found out a few days ago.
How about Yeon Tae? Did she know?
Yeon Tae didn't know and found out a few days ago.
Why? Does it concern you?
It's not that.
Did your Mother see Yeon Tae?
Yes. She came to the school looking for me.
Coincidentally, she met Yeon Tae and she really liked her.
Should the four of us see her together?
Originally, we were all going to see her together because of Yeon Tae.
Since everyone knows, let's just see her comfortably.
Ok. Sounds good. But that's so fascinating. How did she meet your older brother?
Exactly. Fate is truly fascinating.
But before you meet my older brother there's something I need to tell you.
If you see my older brother, you may be a bit surprised.
- Why? / - He's... what should I say..
He's a fun person. If you see him with Yeon Tae, it may be interesting.
Let's quickly set a date. It's been awhile since I've seen Yeon Tae. I miss her.
Okay. I'll talk it over with my older brother today.
Subject: Sunday dinner at our house
Bin, what are you drawing?
Why are you drawing it and then erasing it?
It's Woo Joo.
- Woo Joo? / - She's my new stepsister.
My Dad got married to Ahjumma and brought a stepsister.
Is that so? She is your sister.
But who is that person you drew the smallest?
That's me.
Isn't that the family notebook?
The kids may have written something.
I'm also curious.
Mom, Ajussi, on the behalf of Soo and me
Thank you for apologizing to Soo Ho's mother and for working at the supermarket.
I will never fight with a friend again.
Soo says that he is sorry to you.
Woo Young also wrote here.
That's right. Our kids
are really kind and admirable. Am I right?
When raising kids, it's really difficult for about 100 times.
It's this one time that makes you forget all those hard times and gain strength.
I am so grateful to our kids.
Let's turn the page. You never know what else is in there.
Shall we?
Mom, I don't have any summer clothes.
It's Woo Ri's handwriting.
This is cute.
- It's pretty. Soo, choose a pair of pants. / - Okay.
You have to choose just one. Okay?
Are you done?
Why? This is good.
- Woo Young, I told you that pink looks good on you. -Ajussi!
Ah Woo Ri! It's pretty!
Bin, what do you think about this?
Not good.
How about this?
Is there a student named Lee Bin in this class?
Yes, there is.
Hello, nice to meet you.
I'm the after school Art teacher.
Yes. Hello.
Please have a seat.
I came because I was worried.
By any chance, are you
aware that Bin's family is from a second marriage?
Yes. Bin's father recently remarried. Why do you ask?
I taught Bin for one semester.
I'm concerned about the pictures that she drew.
I'm also studying Art therapy.
I'm a bit worried about Bin.
What do you mean?
Bin, did you choose something? Is there anything you liked?
Let's see.
I don't like this.
I don't like anything here.
You don't even know what I like?
♪ To me, Love is like destiny.♪
♪ I hold you everyday, Love♪
♪ Even if you complain ♪
♪ You look so lovable to me.♪
♪ Today, I also look forward to your love.♪
♪ Your love came to me like a dream, Only you ♪
Five Children
I'm going to meet Sang Min's mother. She invited me to dinner.
Invite you to dinner? It's been a long time.
I don't know what kind of game fate is playing.
I will take care of the kids.
Our mother went too far.
Would it be okay with Sang Min that we secretly came here?
I appreciate the thought, but we can't accept this.
Why do you keep hurting the kids?
Did you come here to teach me that it isn't right?
Can you stay out of our family's business?
I've been patient. Get out!
