I'm the one who should take care of Eun Byul.
If anyone treats her badly,
whoever that is,
I won't just sit back.
Then? What are you going to do?
I'll cut ties with all of you.
Get in.
They're both insane.
You didn't even do anything.
How dare they glare at you saying they'll cut ties with you?
Is he threatening his mother-in-law?
I can't believe I've just heard my daughter say that.
Do you also think I was too harsh?
Can't I slap her on the back for doing something wrong, as her mom?
Eun Byul was the one who was wrong.
They did say something on the spur of the moment,
but I'm not sure how they will make it up to you.
Don't accept her apology even if she begs for forgiveness.
This is a good chance to teach her how to behave.
They wanted to cut ties first. Why would I take her back?
I'll never take them back.
She'll need to suffer to realize how precious her parents are.
Of course.
I have no idea why he was mad at you...
when he couldn't even protect his own wife.
He must've looked like a joke...
for Jun Young to think about snatching Eun Byul away.
The same goes for Eun Byul.
Did you hear what she said?
"You can get divorced now that you got kicked out"?
How can she say that to me?
Do I still have to hold back when she says something like that?
Mother, Han Joo and I are strangers from this moment.
Just stand back and ignore what happens,
no matter what I do to him.
I'm sure they're regretting what they just said.
I hope you won't go around...
and make things worse with him.
This is already worse enough.
Han Joo, you're going too fast. It's dangerous.
Han Joo.
Han Joo...
I'm sorry.
I brought this upon myself...
because I was so foolish.
Why are you sorry, and why do you feel bad?
I'm the one who brought things down to this.
It's because I wasn't good enough.
That's why your family drove us into this situation.
Why were you there alone getting humiliated?
What am I to you? Don't you have a husband?
I do.
I have the best husband in this world.
Then why don't you make use of him?
Are you making sure I know you're a fool because I might forget?
- You said I'm not a fool. - Of course, you're not.
But...
the real fools are calling you stupid.
How long will you sit around taking that?
Even if they are your family, they have no right to hurt you.
You are right.
They might be my family,
but they have no right to hurt me.
Eun Byul, if you get humiliated,
that humiliates me too.
And I don't let that happen. So...
you shouldn't either.
What is it?
Look at me.
I'm embarrassed.
Myself...
and my side of the family...
are all very embarrassing.
They made me...
show you my rock bottom.
That's nothing. Watch the news or dramas.
There are worse families out there.
Goodness, you cry so often.
Was I wrong?
Was I too rash?
I mean, what I said to your mom.
No.
It's what I've said in my heart...
all this time while living with them.
I couldn't speak it out loud even when I was so angry.
I kept it down and swallowed everything.
It's something I could have never said myself,
but my husband said it for me.
Was I wise in saying that?
If it's something you've been swallowing down for life,
maybe I shouldn't have said it so easily.
I'm saying thanks.
She wouldn't back down at all.
It's as if she's my superior.
Don't get all worked up again. Calm down.
We just don't have to see her anymore.
I'm furious, that's all.
I was already furious that she fooled us,
and now she's trying to blame me for everything.
That's why I canceled...
my dinner appointment to come and comfort you.
I have to go out again later.
Do you have to?
I wanted to get out of it, but it's really important.
Did you see your wife?
What did she say to slander me this time?
Why did you take divorce papers to her?
You should've talked to me first.
I knew you would be like this. Why would I talk to you?
This is my marriage.
If I get a divorce, I should be the one to decide.
If you write up divorce papers for me,
it's forgery of an official document.
Then you can sue me.
Do you know how humiliated she was?
You should kneel down and beg.
Hey, it was as if she would punch me.
She's way out of her line now that she's out of our house.
It's like a sports game in her home ground.
She's all puffed up.
This is hard for Geum Byul and me.
You need to give us some time.
Hey.
Do you feel bad only for your wife?
I feel worse for my wife.
I don't want my daughter-in-law mocking my wife.
She means more to me than you or Ji Ho.
Watch who you side with.
If you want to stay here and keep your job.
- That fool. - Are they fighting again?
He's too soft for his own good.
Do I really mean more to you than anything else?
Of course you do, Hee.
You never called me that when we were dating.
I have to head out for my dinner appointment.
What will you eat?
Korean food, of course.
That's what you always eat.
I didn't side with her.
From Mom's point of view,
your silence also means you are siding with Geum Byul.
The son's 80 percent responsible for any in-law troubles.
I don't care. I'm tired.
Tell Geum Byul to try and appease Mom.
She should be crying and begging...
instead of fighting back.
I want to be nice to her,
but she's so annoying sometimes.
- Okay, please get out. - Try and make things work.
What more do you want me to do?
Stop trying to get your way because Min Ho has your back.
Your mom tried to hit me again.
- What? - She slapped me not long ago...
and she tried to hit me again.
Would you do nothing...
if your mother-in-law hit you?
I already let it go once,
but I won't do that again.
I didn't know about that.
I apologize instead.
My mom loses control when she's angry.
- Could you understand? - Understand?
How can I understand a mother-in-law...
who forges divorce papers and hits her daughter-in-law?
Her actions are out of the ordinary,
but you can understand her on an emotional level.
Do you really think...
my mom could accept the fact that...
you have such condition?
I've heard the supposedly kind sister-in-law...
can hurt you more than the vicious mother-in-law.
Are you really going to be like this?
What does this friend of yours do?
Why is he trying to break you two up?
Do you think that makes sense?
I'm sorry.
I'll act appropriately from now on.
If your mom's trying to get you divorced,
I won't just sit and do nothing.
I'll talk to her in person.
You don't have to.
I met her today and made my point.
Go and prepare dinner.
Okay.
What's wrong with her family?
Can't you take pity on her?
What more do you want me to do?
Her mom discriminated her and Geum Byul.
She took the fall for her sister...
because her mom told her to.
I already heard about that.
Geum Byul relapsed...
and stole something.
They called her over to their house...
as a witness to ask who the real kleptomaniac is.
That family's in a big mess too.
Eun Byul's mom was there...
and she blamed it on Eun Byul again.
What mom would do that? Isn't Eun Byul her real daughter?
That's why I'm asking you to be kind to her.
Forget about what happened before we met.
I've had enough now.
I won't let my wife go through this alone.
I told her mom that I won't let them treat her this way.
I said we'd cut ties with them.
Did you really say that?
Yes. And I'm telling you expecting a full scolding.
Was that wrong of me?
Of course it was.
She's still Eun Byul's mom.
I'd rather have wrong manners.
Can you take pity on Eun Byul?
Was it the Parks' idea that you two should get divorced?
Even if it was, why did Eun Byul's mom get involved?
What a mess.
Her mom discriminated her and Geum Byul.
She took the fall for her sister...
because her mom told her to.
- Mother. - Yes.
What will you cook for dinner?
Cheonggukjang.
What do you like?
- What? - Food.
What do you like to eat?
I'll eat almost anything.
But you must have a favorite.
Was there anything you craved?
Well, I wanted stewed galbi.
Okay. Let's have that this weekend.
Okay, Mother.
Really?
But that's what Dae Poong said he'd heard.
Okay.
He must've misheard.
Now I look like a fool.
It can't be untrue.
Why not?
Stop being so nosy...
and focus on perming people's hair.
Where are all our customers?
It's hot out. No one would want to leave home.
Is it off-season?
Oh, right.
Did that guy come back?
I had no idea that bori gulbi was this delicious.
It's perfect for when you don't have an appetite.
Shall I pack you some?
No, I can come here whenever I want some.
You can join me next time.
I can join you...
when I'm less busy.
I'll come by between mealtimes then.
Is business okay?
It's not bad.
I'm glad if I just break even.
Do you need help?
Tell me whenever you do.
Thanks.
Bring your family here one day.
I'll treat them to a meal.
When's your day off?
- Why? - Why do you think?
You're so silly.
Was it something I said?
Did you apologize to Eun Byul?
- Yes. - Yes.
I'm not exactly convinced.
What did she say?
She said everything's fine.
I'll ask her myself.
Min Ho's mother...
came by with the divorce papers.
Does she really want them to split up?
Min Ho tore it up.
It's our call, not hers.
I won't let my mother-in-law...
force me out.
You shouldn't be going up against her.
All this...
will only make Min Ho feel worse.
Give in this time, for his sake.
Han Joo's cafe.
Find a reason to get rid of it.
Get rid of it?
But it's hard to find a business that does so well.
They pay the rent on time...
How about an alteration of use?
An alteration of use?
We'll open a dessert cafe right next door...
and apply to use...
Han Joo's cafe space for something else.
I ignored your mom's call earlier.
Good for you.
Why did she call?
To scold me?
Let's not think about anything else...
but work for now, boss.
You should call...
to apologize after leaving like that.
Or take my call at least.
I didn't sleep at all last night.
What are you doing?
Eun Byul and Han Joo both won't take my call.
Why did you call them?
You should rather be ignoring their calls.
Are you afraid you'll lose Eun Byul?
It's not that easy to cut family ties.
What's wrong with her now?
I should give that back.
He just made things worse.
Let's see how long you ignore me for.
They're so evil.
Hello, Ms. Shin.
Have you been somewhere?
Yes. Goodbye then.
Excuse me, Ms. Shin.
The kids aren't picking up my call.
Is something going on?
I heard something went down at your home yesterday.
Like what?
I mean, how could you do that?
How can you be so harsh and cold...
to my daughter-in-law?
I really don't understand as a fellow mom.
What are you talking about?
A parent has the right to rebuke her child...
if she does something wrong.
I'm just a regular mom. I'm not a weirdo.
If Han Joo misunderstood what I said,
he should come talk to me instead of exaggerating everything to you.
- Exaggerating everything? - Yes.
I didn't think he was the type.
Well, I guess that's him. He even wanted to cut ties with me.
And that's why I could tell you were very harsh on her.
She's not even adopted.
You had her yourself.
How can you drive them so far that they would want to cut ties?
They must've been so upset and devastated when they said that.
I hope you won't be disrespectful to my daughter-in-law anymore.
Please refrain from calling her as well.
Excuse me, Ms. Shin.
How can you tell me not to call my own daughter?
Right.
I heard you wanted to get them divorced.
Did your eldest son-in-law ask you to do that?
Did he suggest ending our ill-fated relationship?
Seriously.
You really are something.
Wait, Dong Joo was just offered to go on a blind date?
Who is it?
She's a daughter of a student of mine at the night school.
She just got appointed as an elementary school teacher.
She's 25 years old.
- I see. - Goodness, if she's a teacher...
and 25 years old, this is perfect.
She must be a nice girl.
You should forget the stereotype that all teachers are nice.
I heard teachers these days can be pretty feisty.
You can stay out of this.
If you aren't married, you don't get to say anything.
Goodness, Mom. It must be your hobby to nag me.
I'm getting married. I will.
Go.
- You're home. - I'm back.
Did you have a great lunch?
I had chicken soup.
That's great.
Then why do you look so down?
- Did someone pick a fight? - It's just too hot.
I'll go and get changed.
How can a mom do that?
Who?
This lady. A weird mom.
She's not even adopted.
You had her yourself.
How can you drive them so far that they would want to cut ties?
They must've been so upset and devastated when they said that.
I hope you won't be disrespectful to my daughter-in-law anymore.
Please refrain from calling her as well.
Who is she to tell me that I can't call her?
She's making things worse,
when she should be trying to reconcile us.
What did Han Joo say to her?
Fine.
If we must cut ties with us, so be it.
But I need to shut him up.
You just got back. Where are you going?
What's going on?
It would be best to come to an appropriate agreement.
The lawsuit will be too troublesome.
Does that mean she can't get the money back?
It seems so.
Gosh, it's bad news for the old lady.
Then I hope we can at least make the settlement as small as possible.
You need a witness who will testify that it was a two-way fight.
- But there is none. - Yes.
Then this is it.
Isn't there any other way?
Can you find a witness?
First, let's go and eat.
You just donated your talent for her,
so lunch is on me.
Donated?
Oh, were you going to make me pay for the session?
Did I say this was free?
Then forget about your talent donation.
I'll donate lunch then.
I don't want to eat.
You don't have to want to eat.
It's lunchtime, so you should eat.
Don't be so hard, and let's go eat.
Throw in her toothbrush into that box as well.
Yes.
Who is it?
I'm Chairman Park's secretary.
Chairman Park's secretary?
- What are these? - Ms. Yoon sent it over.
She said these belong to you.
These were my wedding presents to her.
She said the wedding presents she gave you...
were not included in the boxes.
This means you really wish to fight against me.
You can try to fight me.
Haven't you sealed the contract yet?
If you put it off for too long, you might lose everything.
- We decided to do it this week. - All right.
And set up another date to invite James to our home.
Okay.
Your mother sent me my stuff.
She even returned the wedding presents I gave her.
You can make the decision.
Will you live with me, or your mom?
What is it?
Mom packed up Geum Byul's things and sent it to her mom's house.
It looks like things are going the right way.
Dad, you need to help me. I'm not getting divorced.
If not,
are you going to cut ties with us?
Nonsense.
Are you home alone?
My mom really is driving me crazy.
Honey, can you please try to understand my mom?
We have to lose this fight as their children. What can we do?
No. I can't.
Geum Byul.
Send me those divorce papers. I'll sign it.
What?
Let's get divorced.
I don't want to live like a fool anymore.
It's me. Hwang Geum Byul.
