Jisuk.
It’s my gift to you.
Please find an owner to this dress. I beg you.
Mother…
April 15, 2015.
The joyful news of a new life.
My son and my daughter-in-law have conceived a grandchild.
On the day I sent my oldest daughter, Heaven sent me a most beautiful person.
But the happiness and thankfulness only lasted a short while.
And heaviness set in my heart.
I want to hold on to him but I must let him go.
What could I do for a young man I love but I must let go…
They say you come to discern heaven’s mandate and the meaning of life past 50.
I should wisely accept it and leave behind the meaning of these times.
Jisuk Kim.
To help find his love, I must do my duty.
Kihoon..
Kihoon…
Yes.
I have your baby.
Really?
Why are you telling me that now?
I couldn’t reach you.
I miss you so much.
So do I.
Do you have morning sickness?
No, I don’t. But I have so much cravings.
Nuts. Wish I can run to you now.
I miss you insanely.
Your family’s nice to me. Don’t worry.
Just stay healthy for our baby.
- I love you. - I love you.
Thank you, Yoonhee.
I love you.
Kihoon.
Mom, don’t labor Yoonhee or let her drive.
Make her whatever she wants to eat too. Buy her whatever she wants to eat.
Hey, Kihoon.
Shouldn’t you ask how we’re doing first? Instead of Yoonhee’s cravings?
Do I make her starve? Is she only person you care about?
Congratulations for becoming a grandma, Mom.
It’s like begging for a compliment.
I’ll take care of your wife and baby so you take care of yourself.
Your baby’s all you care about, right?
For me, you’re more important.
Don’t drink too much ice water.
Okay, bye.
You should’ve let me talk to him.
Guess he heard the news.
He told me to buy whatever Yoonhee wants to eat.
It sure is no use raising a son.
I’m sure Kihoon is a lot more thrilled than we are.
Let’s give him a break.
That really woke me up when I can’t even fall back to sleep.
No? Then I’ll put you to sleep.
Feels good?
Yes.
Your husband’s the best, right? Even if he’s a big troublemaker.
Honey.
How about making a baby ourselves?
Crazy. You don’t even have ability.
I’m more than capable.
Move.
You like it though.
Come here. Stay still.
Ugh, aches all over.
Did I get a text?
It’s Kihoon.
Mother, congratulations for becoming a grandmother.
Even if you hate, please take good care of Yoonhee and our baby.
Your idiot son-in-law.
Why does he have to make me cry from early morning? Such an idiot.
Buchun.
Yes, Ms. Chair.
Do you know what time Jisuk left?
I guess he just drank milk before leaving.
Milk isn’t enough. He should’ve eaten.
Should I ask his secretary to prepare breakfast for him?
Forget it.
Why bother to call his secretary?
He took James to hotel, right?
Yes, it was M Hotel.
Did Jisuk go to that hotel?
Yes, he came.
Just watch Jessica and Jisuk for a while.
Yes, Ms. Chair.
Come and eat. You all have to go to work.
Okay.
Grandpa, it’s my first day at work too.
Go to work after having breakfast, sweetie.
Everyone’s so busy. I wish I could work somewhere too.
Start working later. Take care of Soojeong first.
Okay.
Yoonhee, come eat.
Okay.
Have a seat.
Look delicious.
You could eat so much? I envy you.
Wow, Yoonhee.
Try eating like her, Aunt.
She eats so adorably.
Kihoon called at dawn and told me to feed her well.
Well, I sure don’t have to force her to eat.
How nice to have a husband.
I’m sure he misses you a lot.
Eat a lot, okay?
Okay.
Where’s your work? I’ll take you.
It’s in Yuksamdong. I’m taking the subway today.
I’ll let you know later.
Lend me your car from tomorrow, Grandpa.
I’ll give you the rental fee when I get my paycheck.
Okay.
Kihoon told me not to let you drive.
It’s okay. I’ll take you to the subway station.
You were lying about liking our home better than yours, right?
No, I’m serious.
Come on, be frank.
You know…
It’s hard physically but peaceful emotionally.
When I’m at your home, I’m at peace.
When I’m at home, physically comfortable but I feel anxious.
I always think about my in-laws when I’m home.
You’re a real weirdo as the rumor says.
You heard a rumor about me all the way in Paris?
Mother said that’s how it should be with the eldest daughter-in-law.
I’m so hungry.
You just ate like 30 minutes ago.
Amazing.
I should pack snacks to work.
Good morning.
I’m a new employee here. Please open the security pass.
Yes.
Thanks.
Huh?
What a surprise.
What are you doing here?
My first day of work at the Design Team.
You’re a designer here?
Yes.
What about you?
I work a part-time here.
Amazing!
Eunji, Sunwoo keeps chasing after me. You’re sending him my way, aren’t you?
Get in.
Please tell me if you’re going to touch my chest since this is a workplace.
Well, it’s usually on an impulse.
Couldn’t tell you in advance.
But please hold yourself back at the company.
Okay.
Good morning, everyone. I’m Minji Oh, the new employee.
I’m back.
Sunwoo.
Welcome back after your surgery.
Thank you.
Welcome, Minji.
You’re our first hire with the new motto.
I’d appreciate your great contribution to our team with your ideas.
I’ll work hard.
Work with Sunwoo in developing smart design.
Nice to meet you.
The same.
Welcome. Your seats are over there.
Relax. I won’t eat you.
Let’s get along.
Daddy, say ah.
Ah…
So yum.
Mommy, ah.
Is it good?
Yes.
James.
Think of places to go with me on the weekends.
Great.
I never imagined you’d be getting along with James like this.
It feels like a dream.
Thanks for raising him well.
I’ll take care of issues with my grandma.
You’re James’ mom after all.
Just focus on James.
Hey.
Why did you want to see me?
I wanted to treat you since I acted a bit mean last time.
You do know. But you didn’t’ have to.
I realized having a buddy is the best.
Your look is…
Why?
Does my lip color show?
Great job. Men don’t usually notice.
Did you eat something alive? Why is it so red?
This is a trend!
Women wear dark lip colors during the recession.
You know nothing about women.
I do.
No, you don’t. You don’t even know Yoonhee’s pregnant.
She’s pregnant?
Congratulations.
Miran must be so happy.
I didn’t notice at all.
She has a flat stomach.
Let’s eat out with Yoonhee.
Yes, let’s eat something delicious.
Hold on.
Why are you staring at me?
Do I look sexy?
Sexy my foot. Far from it!
You could lie and compliment sometimes.
Come on, let’s go.
You’re so cool.
Mom.
You must be craving for lots of food.
You’ll eat better if you had your husband.
Why bring him up now?
Yeah when you’re always dying to eat him alive.
I won’t anymore.
I’m heartbroken to see you guys separated when you’re pregnant.
I’ll be good to him when he comes back.
He’s a great son-in-law.
Right.
‘Great’ is too much.
Idiot…
I mean, I’d be good to him if he was here.
Mom, his family’s already good to me. Don’t worry.
Let’s go eat really, really delicious food.
Great!
Not sure if I did the right thing to stay in Korea.
But you had no choice because of James.
He only wants his dad.
He likes Jisuk more than me.
It’s written on his face. His face really brightened up.
I won’t be moving into a house Jisuk will get for me.
Yes. People can misunderstand.
The apartment we saw today was nice too.
Yoonhee asked us to move into her mom’s house.
Since the hotel’s uncomfortable.
But I can’t move in together.
But since Yoonhee’s mother lives alone, she said it’s okay.
Huh?
Who’s this? James! What are you doing here?
Hi, Grandmother.
Hi, where’s your mom?
Mother.
What are you doing in this neighborhood? I live here.
Hi, I’m Hayoung’s aunt.
Oh, hi. Good to meet you.
I’ve heard about you.
Did you come here to look for a place?
Yes.
Don’t do that.
Come live with me.
I’m lonely since I live alone, Aunt. Please come live with me.
Don’t feel burdened.
I don’t have to go to the hotel anymore?
Will we go to your house? What about Dad then?
Where do we meet him?
Dad?
Never mind.
Just move into my house right away.
For James’ sake.
Beef for two.
I’ll give you non-marinated one.
You’ll like it since it tastes different.
Give us a good one. For my sister.
You’ll feel refreshed with the beef noodle soup after having meat.
Yes, we’ll eat that too.
You don’t have money though. Washing cars is such a tough labor.
I have enough to feed my sister and future nephew.
Thanks, Dalsoo.
Eat this if your stomach feels bloated.
Thank you.
I heard it’s men’s job to grill BBQ at the restaurant.
This is a special service to my sister.
Miran will say you only care about me.
Dalja.
Huh? You’re a good mom.
Why do you say that suddenly?
All the mothers are strong, you know that?
Look at Miran.
We’ll all help you so just think about Moa and Soojeong.
Dalsoo…
I wish I was successful.
I’m already being helped. From you and Miran too.
I wish Miran could have a restaurant like this one.
Restaurant?
Yes, Father’s looking for a job for you.
He is?
The owner lady here manages this place by herself.
I bet Miran could do it really well too.
I think she earns pretty good money too.
You don’t need too much of personnel management either.
And it’s food business.
It’ll be easier for her to feed her family.
Besides, we all love meat.
You’ve gotten mature.
I still look like a little girl to you, don’t I? I’m all grown up, okay?
I already have two children.
For me, you’ll always be my little youngest sister.
I’m not little. Did you ever see this big child?
Look yum.
Here.
Aren’t you tired, Eunji?
Aren’t you tired?
I’m fine.
Rest whenever you get the signal.
What signal?
If she wants cappuccino, go rest and if she wants water, go drink water.
Feed her on time, okay?
You don’t like coffee?
Just one cup a day.
Why do you sound like talking down to a younger brother?
Well, I could tell you’re younger.
You’ll be the judge.
Since you took rest thanks to me, let me…
Hey, hey.
Come on, a prior warning please?
Touching me like this is sexual harassment.
Is it?
You’re a coward than I thought.
I’m not that dumb. Don’t worry.
Stretch your shoulders like this.
Do you touch any man like this?
Not any man…
Wait, it sounds weird.
I don’t think you’re touching me because of Miss Eunji.
Be quiet.
We’re newbies. No time to waste.
Come on.
Okay, coming.
Are you still mad, Oakboon?
I said I was sorry.
It’s nice weather. Let’s have tea.
Okay, Dongpal.
See you at that cafe.
I also felt uneasy about the other day.
Thank you for your call.
Father.
Have a seat.
Yes.
You have something to tell me, Father?
You don’t know about this but Jisuk gave me money.
Father!
Why are you telling us now?
Because he told me not to.
Dalgoo was with me too.
I couldn’t blabber when it was a promise made between men.
Jisuk told us to keep it quiet.
I went to return the money but he doesn’t listen.
I felt so burdened by this envelope.
You guys take care of this.
We must return it.
It is the right thing to do.
But you all, let’s give it a thought.
Since Jisuk refused to accept it twice already, do we have to return it?
Be quiet.
You call and return it to him.
Then let’s do this, Father. Let’s return half then.
With this money, we can…
Stop, Dalgoo.
Why don’t you want to go back to Jisuk’s company, Dalsoo?
Do you have a special reason?
You still haven’t forgotten about getting laid off?
Why do you refuse his offer when he’ll get your job back?
Tell me!
How could I forget, Father?
I’ve thought about it but I want to start again with my own ability.
Dalsoo… You have no ability.
Why do you keep being stubborn when you have no ability?
How long will you just wash cars?
I’m grateful to Jisuk but I want to support my wife with my own ability.
All right. Let’s do this then, Father.
Let’s just return half as I said earlier.
Then buy a truck for Dalsoo with the rest.
Dalgoo. We have nothing to do with Jisuk now.
We can’t accept that money. We must return it.
Think about it one more time, Miran.
No, Jeongsook.
We shouldn’t depend on Jisuk anymore.
You won’t have sat back if your son was doing that.
We must let him go.
We have to help him start a new life.
She’s right.
But I just can’t do that whenever I meet him.
Let’s just return half. Oh, I don’t know.
You and Father take care of it. I don’t know.
I’ll return it.
No, I’ll do it.
How could I trust you? You could spend it on something else.
It’s like giving a fish to a cat.
Father, I’ll return it to him.
I have to return it.
Then he’ll never think of giving us any more money.
Okay.
You and Dalgoo take care of it.
What a waste.
James!
Daddy!
James told me you were here.
You asked what I was doing to tell your mom?
He’s rushed me to come here since you didn’t have dinner yet.
Why didn’t you have dinner yet?
I get to eat thanks to James.
Eat a lot, Daddy.
Work with energy from rice.
Okay, thanks.
Should we eat?
Eat, James. Ah…
Give me one too. You’ll eat by yourself?
Give me one, come on.
One more.
Sweetie.
You’ve turned on music for my grandchild?
Yes. It relaxes me too.
I guess kids these days are smarter since they’re educated from womb.
I want to do so many things but they’re all couples’ activities.
Can’t you do it with me?
Or with your father-in-law.
It’s…
Why not?
Sweetie.
Right on time.
Come in.
You were here?
What are you doing here?
This.
Thank you, Father.
I needed this.
What’s gotten into you?
You went and bought this at the bookstore?
Yes.
I had lots to study.
You’re the best, Father.
Why are you all here?
Your dad’s so excited about having a grandson.
He gave a book on pregnancy to Yoonhee.
He did?
He never even bought SAT books.
True.
He never bought you guys anything.
Stop nitpicking.
I’ll do this for you when you get married too.
How you’ve changed.
I need to make a name for my baby.
Yes, let’s make one when everyone’s here.
Yes.
I’m so excited. Oh, I shouldn’t jump.
Getting a drink yourself, Father?
No one came when I called.
Great, Father. You should get your own water.
It’s not even hard.
I felt so embarrassed whenever you called Miran for water.
It’s just that I’m not used to it.
That’s the problem. So authoritative.
You never let Dalsoo and Dalgoo in the kitchen either.
Lest their something might fall off.
But it never did, did it? They had children fine.
It’s all an excuse.
Why do you talk so much at night?
Can’t you just let me stay here in comfort, Father?
I have to check their mood since I’m living off them.
Help me, Father.
I don’t even have a mom.
I’ll think about it.
Whatever for? You say okay so easily to other women.
Father…
James…
He looks so much like Jisuk.
Exactly like Jisuk when he was little.
I wish I had dinner with him once.
Eating alone every day!
I hate even preparing anything.
Eating fruits all by myself.
Why is Hayoung so hesitant when I’ve asked her to move in?
James is so cute.
Hayoung, this is Yoonhee’s mom.
Why don’t you answer me about moving in here?
All right. Yoonhee also called me.
I’ll come later.
Yes, just think that you’ll be my talking pal.
We helped you a lot when we were in the States.
Thank you, Mother.
I’m already so excited about playing with James. See you.
I won’t be bored anymore.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Thank you.
Good day.
Okay.
Watch where you are going.
You’re so clumsy.
Where do you have your eyes?
All right. Be quiet.
And you act so smart all the time.
What if I’m older?
What if I am? Your heart is mine forever then.
Don’t interfere with what I or Jessica does.
I came to meet Grandmother.
She’s the highest rank lady here.
- Welcome. - Thank you.
We’ve met before.
