I want to make Oakboon my woman.
I want to share my unfulfilled love with the one I loved to death. Is it so wrong?
Grandfather…
Jisuk, you give up.
Pardon?
I beg you. Give it up.
I’m sorry but I can’t say anything now. I’ll get up first.
Why isn’t he coming?
You came.
Yes.
He came without telling. I told him to go but he wouldn’t.
What the heck is he doing? He didn’t say anything, did he?
No, he didn’t.
Then why drag you along? When you are tired from work.
I’m okay. please go in and rest.
This is Kihoon.
I’m okay tomorrow.
There’s a cafe on the second floor. See you there.
You’re busy.
Whatever.
Whatever?
Ms. Shin. When will you leave?
I told you I ain’t leaving till you break up with him.
Told you I ain’t breaking up.
Then I ain’t leaving. Let’s see who wins.
You gonna keep at this? I truly like Kihoon
Stop kidding. You don’t really like him.
Then?
Pity.
What?
You could never pass by a pitiful person since young.
You’d bring a rained-on dog to home and feed sausage to a stray cat.
You even took off and gave your coat to someone when in high school.
So I’m pitying Kihoon right now?
Yes, he’s jobless so you want to treat him nicely.
Don’t be absurd. Think I can’t distinguish between love and pity?
No, you can’t. You’re same as when you were in high school.
I said it’s not true.
See. Throwing temper-tantrum just like in high school.
Darn. So irritating.
So find ways to persuade Father?
Yeah. I told Miran I’ll talk to him but he doesn’t care to.
Gee. What the heck is he really thinking?
Dalsoo. How about threatening to sever ties with him?
How can I say that to him?
Of course not. How about hunger protest?
Hunger protest?
I used that a lot when my parents wouldn’t buy things for me.
Gee, how cute, my brother-in-law.
What do I do?
But Dalsoo, I don’t think we should do this though.
Huh, what do you mean?
Honestly, how long would Father live?
He wants it so bad so maybe we should just let him have it.
What the heck are you talking about? Why take his side?
Is it maybe because of his house?
Oh, that’s cruel, Dalja. He’s not taking side but he’s usually very filial.
He feels so bad for Father.
Stop saying nonsense. He’s the one who said Father is out of line.
I said it out of concern for Eunji.
When I thought about it, I could understand Father’s position.
He met the first love of his life again so he really desires for it to work out.
And the timing is perfect now. Both lost their spouses and live alone.
You can’t be taking side like that.
I know. What a filial son we have here. Filial son here.
This is not to get emotional about.
Since when did you think logically then?
Whatever. I need to take Soojeong to Miran for babysitting and go out.
Yeah, I should go too.
Don’t think I’m taking side but think objectively.
How can I be objective regarding my child? I’m going.
I’m going too.
Hunger strike is the best way to go. Dalsoo, try that.
Honey, we’re doing it right, right?
Of course. Don’t you know Father?
He won’t change his mind. Think about it.
Important thing is nothing changes whether Eunji marries into a rich family…
…or Father marries a rich grandma. Same rich family.
Then who’s the strongest here? We just cling to that side.
Of course. Honey, why are you so smart?
Stop it.
What do you mean, move out?
I don’t want to see Grandpa’s face?
That’s nonsense.
If you were me, could you eat with him or say hi like usual?
I understand how you feel but…
If you know, don’t stop me.
But this isn’t right. Dad will talk to him so let’s wait.
I’m home.
Yes, Father. Go say hi.
No.
You…
You’re home.
You’re late.
Yes. Where are Dalsoo and Eunji?
Dalsoo’s on the way and Eunji was tired and went to bed.
Grandpa. I’ll be staying at a friend’s house for a while.
What do you mean?
I’ll be at a friend’s house.
What in the world?
I was gonna go without a word but telling you now for Mom and Dad’s sake.
Why go anywhere when you have home?
You’re asking cuz you really don’t know why?
You know how happy I was when you took my side.
So how can you do this to me?
Stop it.
I can’t. I try to understand but I really can’t.
It must be nice, Grandpa. You can do anything you want.
Nobody disobeys you in this house.
Eunji.
What? Did I say anything wrong? Why do you keep picking up me?
I’m back.
What’s wrong?
Let’s go in. Let’s talk. Go.
Hey, what’s going on?
Eunji wants to move out.
What?
Do something about Grandpa, Dad.
It’s cold. Where have you been?
I had to meet someone.
Father.
Don’t say anything.
I’m sorry but I have to.
You know I respect you, don’t you?
I grew up watching you work hard, driving the old truck all over Korea.
I know you worked and slept in that truck to feed us.
That’s why I wanted to take good care of you.
I lack in many things but I wanted to obey your wishes.
I know.
But Father, this time I can’t.
Can’t you change your mind just this one time?
I got nothing to say but I’m sorry to you.
Pardon?
I don’t care what you all think of me. I’ll do as I wish.
Father.
No use calling me that a hundred times. Leave.
How’s Eunji?
I barely stopped her from going to her friend’s house.
Did you have a talk with Father?
Yeah.
What did he say? Will he think about it?
No, he won’t budge a bit.
What?
Said he’s sorry. That’s all he said.
Darn, this is nuts. Why things are getting twisted?
This isn’t working. I’ll talk to him.
You?
Yes. I can’t stand watching Eunji like that.
I don’t like family members taking turns talking to him.
Looks like we’re taking sides and accusing him.
Then what?
I’ll talk to him. Okay? Wait a little.
Eunji left without eating breakfast?
Must be busy.
She’s not busy but lost appetite.
Good meal.
Father, I start working as a delivery man for a dental lab.
Jingyu got the job for me.
That’s good. Good luck.
Grandpa’s fine with swallowing food.
Eating only that much?
I ate a lot.
Your room light was on until late.
I was looking at files for a meeting.
Tell me honestly, Jisuk. What did Dongpal tell you?
Nothing. Thank you for the meal.
Jisuk. Eat plenty for lunch.
I’ll make your favorite mushroom stew for dinner.
I’ll be late tonight.
You just need to deliver as written and get the orders. Deliver on time.
I got it. Don’t worry.
I’m the new deliverer, Mr. Oh.
I see. Please give it to us in two days.
Okay. Thank you.
Dongpal must’ve said something to Jisuk.
It’s me. Did you eat breakfast?
Forget that. What did you say to Jisuk?
You called to ask that?
Yes. What did you tell him that Jisuk’s face is full of distress? Tell me.
If curious, meet me. I’ll tell you.
I don’t want to. Tell me on the phone.
I can’t tell you on the phone. Let’s meet and talk.
Fine. Let’s meet there.
Gosh.
Oh, I’m sorry.
Oh my gosh. What are you doing?
I’m sorry. I was going to shake it off.
You should’ve been careful.
I’m sorry.
Forget it.
So impolite. Looks smart though.
How dare to touch me. Who asked him to shake it off?
How is the work?
I just started. I should hard at it.
- Did you eat? - I did.
You’ll be seeing her often. Say hi. Dr. Lee who works with me.
You are? I’m sorry about earlier.
You already met her?
Yes, I bumped into her and spilled milk on her.
I’ll apologize on his behalf.
It’s okay.
Oh, he’s my brother-in-law. You know Kihoon. This is his father.
Huh? Hi, my name is Yoonhee Lee.
You know my Kihoon?
He came once and we all had a drink together.
I see. I’m at your service. I’ll be seeing you often.
I should be at your service. And don’t worry too much about earlier.
Look here. No stain at all.
That’s a relief.
Jingyu, I’ll be going.
Okay, bye. This way, this way.
This way.
Good bye.
Jisuk. I should meet your grandma.
Grandma?
Grandpa isn’t listening to anyone. Grandmother should get this resolved.
She’s avoiding Grandpa’s contacts, right?
She adores me. I’ll ask her.
Why? I shouldn’t?
I don’t know what my grandma feels.
What do you mean?
Actually…Grandpa was at the front of my house yesterday.
What? And?
Hold on.
Yes, CPA Son.
I’ll be right there. I’m sorry.
I have to go.
Okay, let’s meet after work.
Yes, okay.
Oakboon. It’s cold today so wear warm clothes. See you later.
Going out?
Yeah. Don’t come out.
Bye.
What? When will he mature?
Dalsoo’s in the middle of it and miserable.
I almost want to look for a gentle mother-in-law-to-be.
Your father-in-law won’t go for a blind date. Don’t waste time.
He should just meet a lady he can get along. Why does he…
Not unless he’s strongly attracted.
I don’t know what his standard of a woman is.
Mimi and that lady are totally different style.
Malja. I must lack a lot in virtue.
I miss my mom. What’d she say?
What did you tell Jisuk?
Why did you wear thin clothes in this cold?
Does that matter now? What did you tell him?
If you won’t say it, I’ll leave.
I told him to give it up.
What?
Told him to give up for our sake.
My goodness… How could you?
How in the world could you say that?
You feel the same way as me.
Who says?
I know.
How do you know my heart so well? Don’t be absurd.
Don’t think that you’re interfering his future but think thoroughly.
You and I think the same.
Are you writing a romance novel?
Don’t contact me again and don’t even talk to Jisuk. Okay?
Oakboon.
Let go.
My gosh.
My. Are you okay? Oakboon.
Let go. I’m okay.
Get up, Oakboon. You okay?
Let go. Let go.
I did. Oakboon.
I can go alone.
You’re hurt. I’ll take you to the car.
You’re eating well, right? Eating well is good medicine at our age.
You don’t make sense. How can I eat well in our situation?
Regardless, I’m eating well.
Good for you.
I’m ashamed to face kids and rice feels like sand.
But I force myself and eat a lot. I need to be healthy to see you often.
Honestly, it used be that I had no regrets even if I died tomorrow.
But since I’ve met you, I want to live longer. Am I weird?
Dongpal.
We don’t have many days left.
Let’s live together, depending on each other.
Oakboon. I want to live like that. Even if it’s for a day.
Guess whom I met today? I met your father.
I’ll call you later.
How are you?
Do I…look okay to you? Sit.
What would like to drink?
Forget it. We both are busy so I’ll cut to the chase.
No, you’re not busy. Don’t misunderstand me, I wasn’t insulting.
Honestly, you do have lots of time.
Yes.
You heard from Yoonhee, right?
That I won’t go back to Hawaii till she breaks up with you.
Pardon?
She didn’t tell you. I can freely go back after seeing you two break up.
So please do that.
I’m at a loss. Why you’re doing this?
You don’t know? Yoonhee has to meet a ready man that she can marry.
But you’re not even ready and jobless on top.
I’ll get a job soon.
Even so, when will you be established? Why can’t you understand?
We’re young. Please wait.
Wait for what? Trying to leech off Yoonhee? No way.
And don’t be mistaken. Yoonhee doesn’t love you.
I wasn’t gonna say this but no choice since you don’t get it.
Yoonhee’s been always so nice. She could never pass by a poor soul.
She feels so sorry for you that she pities you.
Pardon?
She’s taking care of you just like she did of a rained-on dog. Got it.
I know my daughter well so break up right away. Okay?
Rained-on dog…
Geez. Whenever I see Dongpal, I can’t help getting pushed around.
Hurry and eat.
Let’s talk first.
Eat first. You got so skinny lately.
What did Grandpa say at your house? I won’t eat till you tell me.
He said Grandma feels the same way.
What?
That she endures for my sake. So he said I should give up.
And? What did you say? What did you say?
I couldn’t say anything and just left.
Why? You should’ve told him, "I can’t give up. You give up."
I couldn’t possibly say that.
If Grandma feels the same, what would you do?
Why can’t you say? Is it okay to break up with me?
What are you saying?
Sounds like that’s what you want.
Don’t be absurd. I was just confused of what Grandma is thinking.
No. To me, you lack confidence about our relationship.
Don’t talk nonsense.
It sounds that way to me. I’m gonna go.
Eunji. Eunji.
Eunji, don’t do this.
Let go. I don’t want to talk to you.
Okay, okay. I’ll take you. Wait a little while.
No. I’ll just go.
Eunji.
Coming late today? I made your favorite beef soup.
Eunji. Why aren’t you answering? Why aren’t you answering?
Mom…
You’re crying? Why? What’s going on?
Mom, I’m so upset. So upset I’m going crazy.
I know. Don’t cry. Don’t cry and come home.
Okay? You’re coming home.
Yes. Who is it? Is dinner ready?
It’s not that. Father, let me talk to you.
What talk? Forget it if you talk the same thing as Dalsoo.
I still remember the day I married
”Thank you for marrying into my poor family. I can’t promise much but …
…that I’ll trust you and your opinion as my first daughter-in-law.”
I remind of myself this whenever I was resentful of you.
You were very disappointed of Eunji being born as a girl not a boy.
You’d say Eunji should’ve been a boy, even after she was one year old.
Really, I said that?
I remember it clearly, Father.
Do you know what you said every time you went bathing?
“You should’ve had a son if you got married as a first daughter-in-law.”
“So that grandson can wash dead skin off my back.”
You could’ve asked your sons for that but why you had to say it to me.
Your great son always messed up and made my life miserable.
But Eunji must’ve known my heart and never gave me a headache.
Eunji was so adorable. She grew up without ever giving me a hard time.
You know what she said after the college entrance math test?
What did she say?
Eunji…said, “Mom, I did well on the test, now you can divorce Dad.”
“I’ll go to a law school and I’ll make you live in luxury.”
What? How could this brat say that to her parent?
Father, don’t badmouth my daughter. Badmouth your son.
Did you badmouth him when he blew money on stocks?
Did you even badmouth him when he blew his retirement pay?
Why do you insult my daughter?
Miran.
Eunji and I have never done anything to deserve your criticism.
Dalsoo, Dalgoo, Dalja and Jeongsook never washed Mother in sick bed.
But my daughter Eunji washed her. Remember Mother’s memorial day?
You should remember it since you announced your remarriage then.
What?
Your sons, daughter, and everyone came just right before the ritual.
Only Eunji helped me with Mother’s ritual food
Your sons, daughter, and second daughter-in-law didn’t bother.
But only Eunji helped to prepare her grandma’s ritual.
I know. That’s enough.
No. I wanted to send Eunji to a law school but what did you say?
You said first daughter is good for homemaking so she needs to work,
save money, and get married well. I always feel sorry to her about that.
She became a CPA on her own, met a good mate and was happy till…
Are you gonna continue?
Take pity on her and please change your mind.
This time I’ll take care of this myself.
I’ve already talked to Dalsoo.
I’m sorry to you all but I’ll do as I wish.
I’m sorry but I can’t let you.
What?
All parents will act the same. I’ll do anything fearlessly for my kid’s sake too.
Jisuk is different from the Oh family men.
He truly cares for and loves his woman.
He’s different from Dalsoo who only gives hard times to his wife.
You give up for your granddaughter’s happiness, Father.
What, what the heck did you say?
How dare you tell me what to do, living under my house?
Father, you said it well.
I’ve been sorry to you for living in your house without a house of my own,
thanks to an incompetent husband.
What?
If you don’t change your mind, I’ll leave. I will leave.
You… Are you threatening your father-in-law?
I’m not threatening but asking you for a favor.
