Miran.
Father…
How did you endure if you hate this family so much?
I won’t stand you getting drunk in my house.
It’s…
Sir, what it is…
Miran has the right to release her stress once in a while.
Why even bother?
She can leave if she doesn’t like it here.
Father.
Calm down, Dongpal.
Yes, you’re right.
I don’t know why she stays in this stuffy place.
I’ll take your foolish daughter-in-law who can’t even leave here.
Hyunsook.
You be quiet.
They don’t even respect you as the eldest daughter-in-law.
Such a fool.
Please don’t get upset. Talk calmly.
You saw him.
Nice meeting you, ma’am.
But Miran only worried about him when he left the house.
So why are you torturing her?
I did not torture her.
Maybe you don’t want to remember.
Don’t you know how you make it so difficult for her?
Stop, Hyunsook.
Father.
Since we went searching for you when you left at dawn…
I didn’t even have time to lament over Minji when she left to Paris.
Did that wench finally went after Sunwoo?
Don’t curse her.
I told you before.
Not to curse my children.
It doesn’t matter to you whether they leave or not.
I won’t forgive you if you meddle in my children’s affair even if you’re sick.
Miserable life will stop with me. I’ll never let them live like me.
No, I won’t.
I know you’re upset but please calm down.
I’m sorry, Ms. Kim.
That you had to see us like this.
Let’s go.
Unbelievable.
Let’s drink more.
Poor Miran.
My Yoonhee…
Poor thing.
Why do you keep saying that?
Drink.
Don’t be too upset, Dongpal.
She’s one of a kind.
Just think her as your blessing and don’t be upset.
I know she’s upset about many things but I hate to see her drunk.
She was upset that you came to my house without a word.
And her daughter leaving.
That gives her the right to drink?
How dare she get drunk at my house?
She took care of you even when you had memory lapses.
I should die soon.
I’ve lived to long.
Don’t say that.
I’m so upset.
Don’t be.
It’s not even worth trying to be nice to him.
Such a stubborn old man.
Because he’s having emotional ups and downs.
Better than seeing him being depressed.
Look at you again. You’re defending him.
I guess he felt embarrassed in front of Ms. Chair.
She must know about him too.
I think he acted extreme since he was with her.
It was quite a scene, wasn’t it?
More than quite a scene. Worse than a jungle.
Let’s go to my house.
Hyunsook.
No matter how upset he might get, I have to take care of him.
You’re so helplessly tied to this family.
Hey, you better send Yoonhee.
She must be so stressed by him.
Even if she insists to sleep here, send her. Okay?
Okay.
We really had quite a drink, didn’t we?
She’ll come, she won’t.
What the… She won’t come?
She’ll come, she won’t.
Yes, she came!
Chief.
Oh…
About dementia.
I heard it’s caused by excess of a protein, amyloid.
You’re right.
It’s a disease in the brain.
I’ll make him eat food rich in Vitamin 12 like spinach, eggs, fish and milk.
Great idea.
One more mighty daughter-in-law here.
You’re embarrassing me.
How is Hyunsook doing?
You should ask her yourself.
What a cold attitude.
I’m back.
You should’ve come home earlier.
Your mom waited for you.
She did?
Is something wrong?
She came here? Did she fight again?
The way you talk…
Are you taking after your father-in-law
I’m sorry.
Your grandfather is really upset.
He’s even refusing to eat dinner.
Why?
No matter what he says, make him feel better.
I’m upset too.
Was he normal today?
Yes.
I saw him making howl of rage in a long while.
And your mom was here too.
Then she really did come.
Did she see his condition then?
No, she just saw him getting mad.
Go back to your house after seeing Grandfather.
Okay.
What’s wrong, Father?
He’s refusing to eat anything.
I’ll go to your mom like this so don’t mind me.
How could you say that, Dad?
Why, Grandfather? Are you upset about something?
It won’t take long since old people survive on food.
No! Should I make your favorite noodles?
No.
You have to tell us to fix the situation.
Why all so suddenly, Father?
I don’t want to be a burden to my children.
What’s wrong with Father?
Father… I was wrong.
Honey.
No one cares for him better than you do.
What made him so upset?
Not sure what she did but if she did wrong, the rest of us are mortal sinners.
Please don’t be mad, Grandfather.
What happened…
I guess their family went haywire when Dongpal went missing.
It must be so tough on Mother.
Yes. It’s difficult.
Should I look for a caregiver?
But only if she accepts your offer.
It was sad to watch him being stubborn when Miran tries so hard.
Did he upset Mother?
When took me to take a funeral photo with him…
I was so heartbroken.
Grandmother.
I was so upset when he said he should do that when he’s normal.
Please do your best to console him.
Don’t become weak.
I should if he can stay normal by meeting him.
Yes. Please do that.
I enjoy eating and talking with him.
But so upsetting to see him change all of sudden.
I heard dementia has no cure. I’m upset.
We should try our best to slow the progress.
Thank you, Jisuk.
It’s a horrible disease.
What do I do?
I can’t just go in.
I need to beat her to it.
Mother’s driving me nuts.
It’s me. Come out.
No. Don’t tell me what to do.
Be quiet. I’m in front of the house so come out.
Want to talk in front of elders?
I have nothing to say to you.
Hello?
She hung up?
You’re ignoring your respectable husband?
Come out if I tell you to.
You’re not worried about Grandfather when you’re the eldest, are you?
The folic acid and lecithin in sunflower seeds help generate brain cells.
Beneficial to pregnant women also.
I should eat them too.
This is for Grandfather, right?
It’s a health drink good for dementia.
Great job.
Consistent usage showed improvement in dementia patients.
Grandfather, please drink this.
Look delicious. Did you make it?
Yes, solely for your health.
I’m not good at cooking but I made it with love.
It’s really healthy for you, Grandfather.
Smart Yoonhee made it.
Grandfather.
I’ll leave it here.
Please drink when you feel like it.
I’ll go drink water, Father.
Good.
Refreshing.
I should die soon.
I’ve lived too long.
Dongpal.
Are you feeling all right?
Not like I can bring him here.
You have to eat mommy’s milk. Why are you here?
Grandfather.
Baby talks so well.
Grandfather.
He needs milk.
Honey, honey.
Honey.
Yes, Father.
Do you need something?
Baby’s crying. Give him milk.
Yes.
Let’s go, sweetie. I’ll give you milk.
Yes, now.
Let’s go.
Come back after eating mommy’s milk.
Are you making soup this late?
What? This late?
Kihoon’s going to work straight from his home.
I didn’t imagine I’d end up making breakfast.
Then should I make him quit work and stay at home?
What are you talking about?
I got that job for him with difficulty.
That’s why. So don’t mind me.
I couldn’t even sleep there when I should at least help with the breakfast.
Kihoon can do it. You don’t have to help.
Just get some rest.
Mom, you think life as a daughter-in-law is easy?
Of course it’s hard.
If you get remarried, she’ll be your sis-in-law.
Will you just sit back and watch? You should worry about her.
How dare you lecture me again?
You’ll do fine. But just think in her shoes, okay?
Father, gather whites with whites and blacks with blacks.
Yes.
Great job.
I want to eat.
Okay.
Set the table, Jeongsook.
I made new soup.
Okay.
Now count the baduk pieces.
One.
Two.
Three.
Great job.
One. Two.
Three.
Is it good?
Yes.
You should let him eat by himself.
Why feed him every time?
I don’t’ like you.
Be quiet.
He mostly eats alone.
So annoying.
Be quiet, Jeongsook.
Ah…
So yum.
Eat as much as you want.
I’m sorry to make you come here since I’m tied down.
It’s okay.
Whoever has more time should take the trouble.
You look happy.
You too.
I want to hold a baby shower for you so make time.
Thank you but no thank you.
Why? You used to sing about it since in the States.
You’ve waited for it.
It’s Korea here and I’m a daughter-in-law who lives with a narrow-minded husband.
I couldn’t even go on a prenatal vacation and all I got was one photo.
You must be upset.
I’m okay.
Did you hear that grandfather becomes normal when he’s with Grandmother?
Yes, I’ve heard.
She thinks about him all day.
It’s sad.
I’m worried she might get sick too.
I heard Grandfather misses her a lot.
I see.
I guess they depend on each other.
We came here often when we first met.
I loved watching night scenes.
Here we are again after many years.
A lot has changed.
But my love for you has never changed.
Thank you.
What is this?
Want to help?
Thank you for staying with me. I love you, Hayoung.
I don’t want anything else.
Please don’t leave without a word.
My heart tore to pieces at that time.
Forever… You’ll stay with me, right?
Jisuk.
I love you.
I love you too.
Father.
Hey!
What’s wrong?
This isn’t my house.
Then where is it?
It’s Oakboon’s house.
Too many shoes.
This is Dalsoo’s shoes.
You don’t like that shoes?
Father.
Why did you throw this? It’s an expensive one.
Oh, gosh!
Please calm down, Dalja.
Not because of my shoes.
He’s getting worse each day.
We must endure it though.
His condition gets worse whenever you come see him.
Don’t cry and hang in there.
So pitiful.
Don’t even think that and just accept it.
Don’t give up.
Dad…
Sleeping?
Really sleeping?
I know you’re not sleeping.
I’ll sleep here so you go sleep inside.
No. I like it here.
Go inside for Heemang’s sake.
No.
Don’t be stubborn.
Mother will scold me when she comes out.
You’re scared of her but not me, eh?
I’ll sleep here too then.
Why aren’t you guys sleeping inside?
We’re going in.
What are you doing here, Yoonhee? Go inside.
I’ll sleep here.
A pregnant woman shouldn’t sleep on the sofa.
Don’t you even know that when you’re a doctor?
I’ve never heard of that.
In any case, you can’t sleep here. Go inside!
Geez.
You’re nagging at everything.
You go inside too, Kihoon.
Stay awake and guard her all night.
Okay.
Why do you guys all bother me when I’m already tired?
I should get some fresh air.
This late at night?
Tiring, isn’t it?
Do you have some other worries, honey?
No.
It’s been so long since I had wine with you.
I know.
I think it’s a first time since our honeymoon.
It feels so empty.
I didn’t do much but it’s been already 30 years since we got married.
How time flies.
Look at your hands, Miran.
I’m so sorry.
You’re always sorry.
I wasn’t going to drink after Father scolded me.
I had so many dreams when I was young.
But I’m already almost a grandma.
Me too. Unprepared grandpa.
You never lived in comfort. Sorry for always giving you hard times.
I’m also sorry for giving you troubles with Father.
Life is no big deal. Everybody lives like this.
I’m just nervous that Father might get worse.
And that he might not even recognize us.
He won’t get that bad.
I believe that.
He’s a strong person.
I hope so.
That should never happen.
Never.
Who could it be this late at night?
Who is it?
Open the door.
I thought you’d never return.
What are you doing here so late?
I thought you’d come home. Why are you here?
I don’t know. You should ask that yourself.
I came since I knew you’d sleep in this little place, clock watcher.
Clock watcher? Who said to reconsider getting married?
So how could I go there again?
That’s why I say you’re such a clock watcher.
Marriage is another matter. Just come home and sleep.
No.
No?
No.
Would you go if I sound like I’m rescuing a beggar?
Then don’t come.
Hey, Hyunsook.
How could you just leave?
Then what?
Shouldn’t you at least pretend like you’re begging?
We’re not some kids. Go or not is your choice.
I’ll ask for one last time!
You won’t come?
I should go.
Then hurry up.
Yes, ma’am. Shall we?
Madam.
Hurry and talk. I have to go see Father.
I can’t say anything since you always get mad.
I don’t know about other things…
But I’ll help with the Father’s hospital bills and provide snacks for Father.
You have to help with meals too.
Ii could help but I can’t feed him.
Why not when even Miran’s doing it?
I feel yucky when he starts drooling and making a mess.
What?
Yucky?
I’m just being honest.
Unbelievable.
It’s hard since he’s a man.
I can’t do it…
Why is it when even Miran’s doing it?
I’ll do everything else but I can never feed him or take him to the restroom.
Nuts.
Please send living allowances to my brother.
He’ll starve if you don’t send him money.
Okay, you decided to care for Father because of that?
Darn. Can’t believe you.
Father scolded me.
I’m relieved he’s not hurt by my careless words.
It’s so hard and I’m mad.
But from bottom of my heart, I feel compassion toward him.
Call it an eldest daughter-in-law’s sense of responsibility.
I’ve endured another day with this compassion.
Father has gotten really old seeing him close up.
Yes.
He looks a lot older than last year.
Don’t be sick, Father.
Yell at us with healthy body and live a long, long time, Father.
I never imagined Father will get dementia.
Because he was so energetic. I thought he’d be healthy till like 90’s.
I know.
When Father needs help with the restroom later, we’d have to help him.
I can’t do that.
What’s with that quick answer? Then what do we do?
I never even changed a diaper.
I can’t do that.
Are you bragging? You’re so hopeless, bro.
We should hire a caregiver.
That’d take money.
He’ll never have to wear diapers.
He’s strong.
That’s what you wish.
Actually, I’m not confident I can do that either.
Yes.
Sleep over here today, Dalsoo. I’ll sleep there.
Come here.
Okay.
Sleep there.
Don’t put your legs on mine.
Okay, okay.
We should share the blanket.
You didn’t even change your pants.
It’s okay, dork.
What? Why?
Dalja.
Why?
