The highest ranking grandmother.
Her name is Oak Boon Lim.
James.
Grandma.
How did you come here?
Where’s your mom?
I came by myself.
How come?
I came to meet you.
You really came here alone?
Yes. I had to ask you something.
He’s very clever, Ms. Chair.
Let me hear what you have to say.
What did you want to tell me?
Why do you hate me?
Hate you?
You used to adore me but why did you get mad when you met me here?
I wasn’t mad. I was just surprised.
When did you first meet your dad?
Just recently.
I wanted to meet him since a baby.
What’s your daddy’s name?
Jisuk Kim.
He’s exactly like him.
I don’t hate you.
Should we go to our house?
To your daddy’s house.
I have to ask my mom.
Let’s call her at my house.
No!
Just tell me why you hate me.
Because of your mom.
My mom? Why?
Let’s go to my house first.
Will you tell me there?
Yes.
I’ll tell you in your daddy’s room.
You like him, don’t you?
I have to call my mom first.
Let’s do it at your daddy’s house.
Don’t cry. Hush.
Don’t cry.
Hush. Hush.
Hush.
James.
What are you doing, Grandma?
She hates me.
You’re too cruel. Even to my son!
Let’s go.
If you make James cry again, I won’t forgive you!
Such a ruthless old woman.
Why are you doing this?
Grandma. What did you do to James?
He’s done nothing wrong.
James sure is your son.
I don’t like Hayoung.
And the fact that she’s James’ mom.
I don’t want Hayoung to raise my great grandson.
Let’s bring James.
You like him because he’s your own blood.
Please don’t be unreasonable.
Don’t hurt my son.
I won’t forgive anyone that hurts my son.
James is the only heir of mine as you used to emphasize.
Jisuk.
Why don’t you try to understand me?
Grandma.
James is my son.
My son.
Jisuk.
I converted 50 euro to Korean won including the interest.
Satisfied?
When did you know it was me?
Since you mentioned about studying in Paris.
I couldn’t go not because I ran away but because I was sick.
I meant to pay you back.
What an excuse.
Do I look like someone who’d rip off 50 euro?
Yes. You look like a smoother operator.
I was crazy to sell you 10 bracelets believing you forgot your wallet.
I was crazy.
That’s not it.
I’m getting upset.
Did you forget getting mad is bad for my heart?
Oh, okay.
Sorry, fine.
Since you paid me back, I won’t hate that black mask guy again.
Don’t get mad.
Please.
I should’ve gone back to Hong Kong.
Your grandma… She’s so cruel.
I’ll never forgive her if she hurts James. I won’t stand it.
She won’t do that.
You heard her.
She was going to take him home.
I’m nervous. I’m scared and afraid.
She’s just too attached to me.
Consider it her obsession for her one and only grandson.
It’s all my fault.
I’m going to keep my promise with James.
I’ll have him stay by you until he matures.
I won’t go back.
I’m going to face her.
Yes.
Grandma is my problem.
I’ll take care of her.
You scared me.
Why do you keep coming here every day?
Not sure.
You don’t want me to? You used to like it.
Depends on why you come.
Just eat this.
You told me to only drink mixed grains.
Is this a bribe?
You want to date a woman?
Date?
Yes.
You’re not intending to live alone forever.
Will you die a widower?
I’m too old for a blind date.
Don’t be coy.
Hey, tell me what kind of a woman you like.
Then will you bring her?
See? Just tell me.
You’d like a younger woman, right?
Her age… I couldn’t be greedy when I’m this old.
Really?
Then what about your age? A friend-like age is fine?
What about a woman with children?
No?
Look at you.
If I can even love her children, why not?
You can raise her ex’s children?
If I love her…
I should embrace everything.
What do we do about you?
About what? That’s called love.
Will you just sit back like this?
Nope, I shouldn’t.
Do something.
It’s our chance to have a rich son-in-law.
Come on.
Rich son-in-law.
Spring just brushed by us.
It’s hot now. It’s summer.
It’s still chilly.
Yes, it is.
Why are you saying it’s hot?
Kyungshik.
Yes?
Mom.
Your ideal type is Hejin, right?
Me? Why?
Frankly speaking…
She’s not my type.
What’s wrong with her?
Are you talking behind my back?
Then what kind of a girl do you like?
What are you talking about?
She must smile a lot.
Are you talking about me?
I’m not interested in guys.
Then get interested.
No. I told you I have a dream.
No thanks to men until then.
I’m also not interested in women.
Did you go grocery shopping?
Why? Didn’t Yoonhee promise to order online?
But I’m more comfortable in picking fresh food on my own.
I guess I’m old fashioned.
Yes, you are.
It’s hard taking care of many family members.
And I can’t even show. Too much work.
Is your father-in-law okay?
Why?
He looked weak.
He eats well and he seemed quite peaceful.
Good then.
I wonder if he has some problem.
Please tell me if you hear any rumors.
Yoonhee.
Yes?
Pour some sesame oil here.
Yes, Mother.
Oh no, Mother…
You poured too much.
Look delicious.
Good with lots of sesame oil.
Oil shouldn’t dominate the taste. Food should have natural texture.
We’re here. Nice sesame oil smell.
What made you come to the kitchen?
Why? I wasn’t in the kitchen before?
Are you telling me to stay away from the kitchen?
No, you might bother them since it’s crowded here.
Bother them? You don’t sound too nice.
You only come to eat.
Oh, be quiet.
Just go to the livingroom. You stay, Jeongsook.
Off we go.
Bothersome my gosh…
Watch your mouth, Jeongsook.
Dalja and Yoonhee are both pregnant.
It’s so hard on me.
That’s why. I bought these for them.
I can’t even show off buying these vegetables.
Can’t we just enjoy them? Do you have to show off?
Wash them.
Let’s eat.
Bon appetite.
Attention. Surprise!
I have an announcement.
What is it?
I passed completely.
Congratulations!
What’s this boring reaction?
Didn’t you pass already? That’s what Miran said.
No. I had an interview.
You’re not even surprised.
Next is about Sunwoo Kim.
What about him?
Is he sick?
Now I’m getting some reactions.
He works at the same company.
Really?
What a fate…
I guess we must’ve had some relationship in previous lives.
No wonder.
That’s why I was so drawn to him.
Is he a designer then?
Yup. An able elite.
He’s handsome on top of being an elite.
Wait… Then you meet him every day?
Yeah, unfortunately.
Bring him here next time.
We must have dinner together.
Okay. He always demands to feed him.
Make sure to bring him.
Take good care of him.
Yup.
You made great salted oysters.
It’s good, Father.
Try these veggies. These are organic veggies.
We bought them for Yoonhee and Dalja.
Try, Father.
Okay.
They’re really expensive.
Eat a lot, Yoonhee.
You too, Dalja.
Okay.
Mother, it’s so, so good.
Honey, bring more salted oyster.
Why do you only want that when we have so many dishes?
I only made little for Dalja and Yoonhee.
Just go bring some.
I’m saying you should eat other dishes.
It’s salty, Dalsoo.
Father, you have to decrease salt intake.
Yes. You should eat these organic veggies.
I need to eat what I want when I want. I lost my appetite.
Dad.
You haven’t changed one bit.
You only eat your favorite. You have to let other people eat too.
Dalsoo.
Please eat.
Forget it. I’m done.
I’m getting up.
He’s mad. Gee, so small-minded.
Come on, eat.
Dalsoo Oh.
How dare you confront me?
I told you I won’t forgive you if you embarrass me in front of Father or Yoonhee.
Are you all right?
I was wrong.
I’m sorry.
Honey.
Would you like something else, Father?
No, I’m fine.
You need something, Yoonhee?
No, I’m enjoying these.
Are you all right, Mom?
Yes.
Please eat, Mother.
Wait. What is this scary vibe I’m getting?
I know.
Me too.
What is it? I don’t know.
Don’t try to know. Eat a lot.
Eat your veggies. I’ll pack the leftover for you later.
Okay.
Dalgoo.
Yes, Father.
Women in our house are becoming too strong.
Yes, we’re few in number and we’re dull talkers too.
Minji.
Yes?
Get married soon.
I’ll say yes to whoever you bring.
Grandpa. No way.
Be quiet.
Yoonhee.
Yes?
Have a son no matter what.
Don’t ever eat meat.
I saw on TV that women eat lots of meat to have daughters.
But don’t you eat meat.
No, it’s actually…
You’re wrong, Grandpa.
That’s before getting pregnant.
She’s already pregnant.
Be quiet. It’s the law if I say so.
We must increase the number of men in this household.
You should consider it too, Dalja.
Father…
Why not? Am I wrong?
Give it a thought.
You must have a son no matter what.
Yoonhee.
You know that guy…
Who?
The guy that Mom calls her oldest son.
Oh, yes.
How was he?
I don’t understand why he still lingers around us.
I heard Eunji ignited long lost love in his heart.
That’s why I think he still agonizes over her.
I shouldn’t let him meet Sunwoo then.
Mother’s against it.
She said we should let him go.
I know.
But I somehow feel that I need to introduce Sunwoo to him.
Don’t hurt my son.
I won’t forgive anyone that hurts my son.
He had never rebelled against me before.
Jisuk has changed after Hayoung showed up.
Jisuk.
I need to talk to you.
I’m tired. I’m going to get some rest.
It seems you’re meeting James often.
You’re even spying on me.
What have I done so wrong?
You said he’s your son.
Then he’s my own blood too.
How did Hayoung control you?
Is she going to steal everything from me?
You and James.
Don’t be absurd please.
James is Hayoung’s son.
James never even knew existence of me or you.
What gives you the right to claim him as your blood?
Do you have the right?
Jisuk.
What are you afraid of?
Me meeting Hayoung?
Or me playing with James?
Why don’t you just bring home?
What?
Bring home who?
James.
Why him?
Tell her I’ll accept him as my great grandson.
Just bring James.
I’ll never accept Hayoung.
Hayoung was right.
You’re so cruel.
You only believe her.
No.
I don’t trust anyone that hurt me.
I only trust James.
James.
It’s me.
Yes, Daddy.
I love you a lot.
Me too, Daddy.
Dream about me.
One, two, three.
Rock, paper, scissor.
I won.
Let’s do it together.
Where do I go now?
I don’t want to go home.
It’s great to drink coffee outside on a nice weather.
It’s nice.
Yes.
That’s why I told you to come here to get some fresh air.
Sorry for asking you to make side dishes.
Yoonhee’s friend is staying at my house.
It’s okay.
As long as they enjoy my food.
I adore Yoonhee for eating so well.
You didn’t have morning sickness either?
I did.
Yoonhee’s amazing in many ways.
If she couldn’t eat well, she probably couldn’t even work.
I try to treat Dalja and Yoonhee fairly but I care about Yoonhee a bit more.
I’ll take good care of her. Don’t worry.
Little isn’t enough.
You’re amazing, Miran.
Can’t believe there are two pregnant women in your house.
Don’t you even get tired?
Here.
What is this?
Don’t say you won’t accept it.
It’s just for the side dishes and taxi fare.
Hyunsook.
I can’t ask you to make dishes again if you don’t accept this.
Please accept it.
Okay.
I’ll accept it.
Thanks. Make some more next time too.
And take good care of Yoonhee.
She must so lonely without her husband.
Look after her.
I am. Don’t worry.
I’ll be so good to your son when he comes back.
Really?
Yes.
Trust me.
Okay.
I somehow came to the hospital.
Chief.
What are you doing here on your day off?
Chief.
What’s wrong, Yoonhee?
Chief…
It’s so hard on me.
There’s no place I can sleep in comfort.
Yes, Yoonhee.
Cry as much as you want.
In-law’s uncomfortable and so is my mom’s.
I’m gonna just go to Saudi. I want to go to Kihoon.
Should I go spank Miran and Hyunsook?
I’m gonna go to Kihoon.
Cry. It’s all right.
Take care of yourself, James.
I’ll call you again.
Okay.
Daddy, I don’t hate Grandma.
I’ll be a bad boy if I do.
Who said that?
Mommy.
I’m proud of you, son.
Thank you for being a good dad to James.
Don’t think about anything and get some rest.
I’m going then.
Let’s go, James.
Jisuk!
Mother.
You had some business here?
I was meeting someone.
What about you?
I also had to meet someone.
I’ll take you home.
No, I can take a bus.
Of course I should take you.
Shall we?
Let’s go in.
James.
Did you have fun with your dad?
Yes. With Daddy.
Go wash your hands first.
Okay.
What’s this sound?
An earthquake? Did something collapse?
I was lonely when alone but now I can’t even take a nap.
Should I sleep or not?
Grandma!
How inconvenient to live with many.
Yoonhee’s amazing.
I forgot you were taking a nap.
It’s okay. No problem.
Come here. Come, James.
Cutie.
So cute.
You look happier.
I do?
Yes. Better to be happy.
That’s what I wish for you.
You look happy too.
Yes, I am.
April 17th.
I spent the day with the smell of spring carried away by the magnolia fragrance.
At the thought of an owner of the wedding dress might soon appear…
I had two different thoughts in my mind.
Jisuk didn’t have my daughter’s photo anymore.
Instead, there were the shoes of a boy.
What do I really want of these two different thoughts?
You promised to provide my lunch.
I’ve thought about what to eat but I’m not a good cook.
Perfect menu.
They’re all my favorites.
I see. I knew you’d have similar taste.
Why isn’t there any meat?
I’ve thought about it.
And you were really Sunwoo Kim.
Yes, I am Sunwoo.
Stop interrupting when an adult is talking.
I know you are Sunwoo.
I mean, I would’ve fed you steak if I considered you as Eunji.
But it’s you who’ll be eating.
So you must eat what’s good for your heart. Got that?
Generation gap.
Exciting.
You see me as Sunwoo now.
It looks delicious. Did you make it?
Don’t expect too much from me.
With this look and intelligence, you can disregard cooking skills.
I eat anything so I don’t mind if you’re a bad cook.
I could even cook.
Sure.
Men should eat whatever women make for them. Got that?
Yes, ma’am.
People say daughters take after their mom in cooking skills.
But it’s all a lie.
Here’s an exception.
I have no interest or skills in cooking.
Let’s eat now.
Okay.
Lie down here with me.
The sky is so clear.
So beautiful.
My heart…
You’re not gonna touch your sister?
Isn’t that Jisuk? It is, right?
Who’s that woman?
I saw Jisuk at the park.
He was playing happily with a boy.
Or do five of my wishes.
What simple wishes.
I like this one the best.
Kiss for more than one hour?
I need to take away James from her.
- She won’t sit back. - I’ll protect my son.
