Who's this?
Mother.
You fool!
Did every woman die on earth?
You ruined your life for her?
Mother.
How far along are you?
What?
I heard you're pregnant!
What?
Pregnant?
Oh Dal Ja?
You're pregnant?
This is crazy.
What's going on?
You're really pregnant?
What's this?
Ms. Oh!
Damn it.
Stop all this!
No.
I'm certainly not pregnant.
So, everyone, stop.
Disperse!
- No. - No. - She says no.
Luckily she's not, eh?
Yes, I got a shock.
Yes, Ms. Oh won't get into that trouble.
That's true.
From the start, I thought not.
Ms. Oh must think it's absurd, right?
But why's Ms. Oh always in trouble?
Yes.
We need a solution.
Trouble for Oh Dal Ja goes on and on.
It's all ignorance.
Women think they're great having sons.
It's against modern culture.
Times have changed.
But they still hope for sons.
I surely won't have sons.
Well, I don't need a son,
though I'm the only son in two generations.
How about twins?
Whatever.
What are you up to?
I said to check quietly.
Who said to announce it here?
What embarrassment have you caused?
I didn't do it on purpose.
When I see her with Tae Bong, I shoot flames...
You know it too.
When I'm angry, I don't know shit from sauce.
Don't come here again.
If you dare drop in again,
I'll get security to chase you out.
Your brother has left home.
Tae Bong left home for that 'mop head'.
Even so,
settle home matters at home.
Do you understand?
See! The Kang family personality.
Are you very angry?
Yeah.
Really embarrassed?
Yeah.
You won't get over it easily?
Right.
But you still like me?
Yeah.
I'm in no mood for jokes, Tae Bong.
But how long will you stay angry, Dal Ja?
I don't know, but I still am.
The more upset you get, the angrier you'll get.
If we broke up over this,
won't it be what our moms want?
You want that too?
I don't.
Smile. One smile.
Let's not be angry with each other. Hm?
But I can't control my anger.
Now when I see the Team Manager, I recall everything and...
my legs tremble and I feel faint.
If she troubles you over private matters,
tell me.
I'll take prompt legal action.
You can get compensation for stress.
You know my skills?
Ooh! You can sell yourself!
That's why I became a lawyer.
But both mothers objecting worries me.
Your mom came to my office,
and my mom isn't relenting.
She's so cold to me now.
It's the north and south poles.
Let's change our tactics?
How?
Make it fun.
Make it fun?
- Child. - Yes. - You heard sounds too? - Yes.
- It's in the shop. - What?
Grandma. Teacher. Did you sleep well?
So it's Tae Bong.
Long time no see.
Who allowed you in so early?
I only did my job.
Did I need permission?
I still won't accept you.
You better go home.
It's good you're back.
Come any time. Okay?
Sure!
With you around, I'm fine.
Oh! Hello!
You visit this sauna?
But why are you here?
I come here sometimes.
What a coincidence.
See your sweat.
Here's a sweet rice drink.
And eggs. Want an egg?
What do you take me as?
Think this scores points with me?
I'm not good to bully.
What a joke!
She just drank and left.
Aren't you coming, Teacher?
Save it.
This won't change my mind.
It's alright. It's too heavy.
Where will you get a taxi? Over there?
- Here's your credit card. - Yes.
Oh my! Mother-in-law!
You shop here? I do too.
What a coincidence.
You're really...
Why do you show up to annoy me?
Ma'am, they're packed.
- Yes. - Let me.
You shopped a lot.
It's heavy. I'll carry it to your car. Let's go.
What! Hey! Hey!
Oh my!
You're here for a massage?
Our interests are similar!
Sauna. Shopping. Massage.
That's great.
- Let's start. - Yes. - Lie down.
Well then. Enjoy it.
- Please lie down. - Yes.
Your head goes here.
You're very stiff.
You must be stressed.
Please bear it.
Oh my, oh my...ooh...
At my end, there's little effect.
Yours?
Same at my end, too.
What should we do?
In that case, we'll change tactics.
How?
Curiosity.
Curiosity?
He's not coming today?
Mother-in-law!
You're here?
See all your sweat.
Have a sweet drink.
I'll peel eggs for you.
- So nice. - It's good?
Why hasn't she shown up?
What?
A vacation?
- For a week? - Yes, Team Manager.
Actually, the last three years, Ms. Oh hasn't taken a holiday.
She gave up her vacation to promote summer products.
She's tired and needs a break.
And this year she faced many difficult problems.
That's so.
But her vacation is too sudden.
Why are you fidgety?
Huh? Nothing.
You're nervy.
Well, I haven't had a break in a long time.
I can't settle.
One week. What will I do?
If I'd known, I could've booked an overseas holiday.
Alright. I'll keep you company.
What do you want to do?
Any place you want to go?
No.
No place I want to go.
I'd have to dress up. It's too much trouble.
Then we can do something at home.
There's nothing you wanted to do with a lover?
Mm. No. Well...
Hmm? Why's your face red?
You're having erotic fantasies, right?
No. You're too much. Who's thinking that?
He's right. I have those thoughts.
Stop fantasizing.
Wh-what? I'm not fantasizing.
I'm here, but you're fantasising. That makes me sad.
What?
Oh! Hey! Why'd you pick me up? Hey, what's this?
I'll let you do more than fantasise.
Be prepared, Oh Dal Ja!
Ooh!
Like this, he and I made our own world.
Less of that.
OK.
Hey! Hey...!
Let me do it.
- Can you? - Of course!
You're too slow!
I'm already done.
Go ahead.
~ if I have a wish ~
~ it is, after a tiring day, to become ~
~ a warm harbour for you ~
~ you should let me love you, baby ~
~ my destined one ~
~ eternally ~
~ my miracle love ~
~ let me feel love, oh my baby ~
~ hold me tight, my true love ~
~ I missed you so long ~
~ fly to my side ~
~ my destined one ~
~ eternally ~
~ my miracle love ~
Wait a moment!
Daughter, you're back so early?
I was bored.
That's right.
Going out won't let you forget the home situation.
Instead,
how about visiting Professor Kang's hotel?
I won't.
Why must I apologize?
He's the unfaithful one.
He's the one who left.
My life revolved around Professor Kang.
What did I do wrong to go find him?
I won't.
He can come home or leave.
Hey...! Coming back on his own is embarrassing.
So go and ask him, so he has a way to return.
Forget it. It's up to him if he comes or goes.
Now I'll live as I want.
Have I no money or son?
I'm missing nothing.
But what about Tae Bong?
Tae Bong.
Hmm?
What makes you like me?
Why do you like me?
Why ask why?
I just like you.
With your level,
you can find women better than me.
Prettier, more appealing, younger.
Women more desirable than me...
But why's it me?
Then why do you like me?
Rep. Eom could've given you security.
Why'd you pick me?
Why do you like me?
At that moment, you were by my side.
When I had a hard time, when I was lonely,
when I needed comfort or smiles from someone...
In those times, you were by my side.
You were there to console me and hold me.
Somehow your scent stayed with me.
Wherever I go, whoever I meet,
I keep sensing your scent,
making my heart tingle for you...
longing for you more,
making me curious about you,
wanting to be with you.
So here I am with you.
Same for me.
At some point I looked around
and found myself beside you.
If you ask me why I like you,
who knows? I can't answer you in a phrase,
but one thing's certain...
What's certain?
I like you.
I really like being with you like this.
Oh...my...God!
Am I dreaming or awake?
If it's a dream, I don't want to wake.
If I'm awake, I want to stay like this forever.
Ah! I am 33.
I'm having the happiest holiday of my life.
E17: SERIOUS THINGS WE NEED TO THROW AWAY WHEN IN LOVE (Part 1)
Wee Seon Joo's Diary ends here today.
Have a good day!
Fine. Cut!
Ok. That's it.
Ok. Thanks, everyone!
But our sales dropped recently.
Yes. Our sales aren't good.
Maybe we should call a product strategy meeting.
You're right.
But what's with Wee Seon Joo?
She seems tired lately.
Oh? Uh. Is that so?
PD Shin. Team Manager is looking for you.
Team Manager?
Who? Manager Kang?
Why'd she want me?
I'm not sure.
Ah. Will she blame me for poor sales?
Hey..! That good-to-bully Dal Ja is away.
You're the next good-to-bully guy.
Go see her.
Ah! Really!
You wanted me, Team Manager?
Today's sales aren't great.
That's true.
Oh Dal Ja took leave suddenly;
her replacement isn't coping.
And this item has been on sale for two months.
Aren't you getting married?
Ah, that's...what?
The company sends 2 employees to train overseas every 2 years.
You know that.
Yes, I do.
You submitted your application on the last round.
If you have no plans for marriage yet,
I'd like to propose your name in this round.
What do you think?
You'd refer me?
Yes.
I'll give you one week.
Think it through, then answer me.
Why are you here?
It's not a chance everyone gets.
I don't think you'll get a better opportunity.
What's up?
Team Manager Kang called you in. You got scolded?
Huh? Oh, oh. Just the usual.
You looked tired on air.
Just a bit.
Sales slowed, so I'm a bit down.
Let me recharge you. What do you want to eat?
How about a fixed-course menu?
I know a place with great bean-paste soup. How's that?
Fine with me, if you like it.
Yeah. Let's go.
It's very strange.
What is?
Tae Bong hasn't been here the past couple of days.
Dal Ja hasn't been around.
Aren't you curious?
No, not a bit.
They can do as they like.
How can you not contact them?
It worries me.
Hi...uh...
- But... - Eh?
Why are you here again?
I'm not here to argue.
I came to ask something.
Hello.
What do you want to ask?
Has my son been coming here to work?
No, he came for a few days, then stopped 3 days ago.
- Why? - Really?
- Your daughter? - What?
I mean Dal Ja.
Why are you asking about her?
She followed me around, trying to please me the past few days.
She stopped three days ago.
The timing's similar to Tae Bong stopping.
I'm a bit worried.
So I came to ask if they still come here.
No. Dal Ja hasn't been here for 3 days.
This, this...
Is there a problem? No, right?
What problem?
We disapprove so they're hiding.
Exactly. They won't suicide over this. Right?
That will hurt.
Dal Ja.
Leave some for me?
No.
Bye.
Sleep well.
What are you saying...?
Right. That can't happen?
Of course not.
They're not teenagers.
Right. They won't kill themselves, right?
We can't be certain.
What? Neither answered?
Maybe she's busy at work.
She hasn't been at work for 3 days.
Yes, she wanted a week off.
She hasn't come since applying for vacation 3 days ago.
What is it? She's not at work?
Hey, hey, hey, wait!
Dal Ja.
- No-one? - Yes, no-one.
They've gone on a trip, right?
Check for suitcases.
- Suitcases? - Yes.
Oh my, ooh!
- Ooh! - C-c-can't be, can't.
Hey, they didn't?
Oh my gosh.
It can't be, Jung Ae?
It can't be.
My daughter's a good girl.
Jung Ae, go in and call out.
Hey, sorry, my legs froze.
What to do?
She's your girl!
He's your son!
Hey, though I'm reckless,
I get scared easily.
My heart is weak.
The hospital warned me.
Really? True...?
So call out at the same time.
For sure, it won't be anything...
At the same time, okay.
There'll be no problem.
1, 2, 3...
- Mom. - Mother.
Dal Ja.
Tae Bong.
Dal Ja!
Kang Tae Bong!
What are you two doing?
We need time, Mother.
You, Dal Ja! You went on vacation!
Yes.
I need to relieve stress.
You know how to worry both families
while you both sleep and enjoy a break.
How can you worry us
and sleep peacefully?
You worried about us?
You didn't acknowledge our best efforts.
After a few days, you worried a lot.
Save it!
We won't break up for you two.
Tae Bong!
Tae Bong and I are adults.
Mom, we decide who to like, so you two can go.
You mean your parents needn't care about you anymore?
Of course,
it's better if you both agree.
That's why we made an effort.
But if you still oppose us,
we can do nothing.
What?
Are you done?
Did I happily drink seaweed soup to birth him, Jung Ae?
We made sacrifices for them.
You don't know our hardships.
Having kids is useless.
- Mother. - Mom.
Forget it, you!
Well. Did you see Tae Bong at that mop-head's place?
Don't know.
Really, what...
How dare they?
Oh?
Hey, how was it? How are the kids?
Nothing's wrong.
They're just sleeping at home.
In the day?
Yes. Makes me mad.
How dare they?
- Comfortable? - Yeah. Very.
- Hey, Kang Tae Bong. - Hm?
Will our strategy work?
Well...
At least both moms are on the same side now.
True.
Let's be satisfied for now.
Hm?
I'll leave Handa Home Shopping matters to you.
The new brand means I have no time.
Yes, I understand.
What is it?
- Has the maid changed? - Pardon?
It feels different.
I'm not sure.
Isn't your house always very clean?
But it's different today.
What's up?
What?
You've never stayed quiet this long.
What's going on?
It's nothing.
Is it hard to say?
It's nothing.
I'm being cool in front of you.
It's true!
What else can it be?
Don't overthink. Eat up.
Seon Joo, eat.
Sauce with sunflower seeds, hm?
So you won't tell her?
If I tell her, she'll say to go.
The last 3 years, you wanted to study abroad.
I was a free spirit then.
I have Seon Joo now.
It'd be 2 years away.
How'd I let Seon Joo have the kid alone?
- What? - Oh my.
Sae Do, you matured.
How'd you think deeply?
Teasing again...
Don't think.
Talk to her about the baby and overseas study.
Why do you and Seon Joo keep things from each other?
You might work it out if you talk.
Truly we're past dating stage.
We used to be relaxed.
Now it's serious, we avoid making demands.
We're scared of affecting each other's future.
That's true.
But my 20-something guy
isn't afraid of being a burden.
He told me to sponsor him till he qualifies as a chef.
Feed him, house him, and buy his materials.
Ah, he's energetic and courageous.
He's different from our generation.
Yes, I can't lean on a woman.
I'd say he's honest or kooky.
Even still, you sure like him.
That's true...
My oh my.
For sure.
Oh, you keep looking.
Ooh, his smile is so likable.
Careful! Your fond drooling will turn into neurosis.
Oh, sorry...
"Chef Qualification Test Questions".
Surprising to see you.
Nice to see you, Kang Tae Bong.
Hello, Lawyer Jang.
That man looks like Lee & Jang's director.
True? Lee & Jang?
Yes.
He was on TV a few times.
That's why he's familiar.
Why's Lee & Jang's director having tea with Tae Bong?
Exactly.
Anyway, sitting with that man,
your spare tyre forces me to reconsider him.
Has it been a year?
Yes, it has.
Is your father well?
Yes, he became Dean recently.
Oh, really.
But you haven't contacted me?
You and I have no connections.
You seem brighter now.
Yes. Lately I'm happier.
Really?
Somehow you want to be a chef.
I had high expectations of you.
I know.
You really won't come back?
Sure. I don't want to.
Really.
I see.
Well, this Saturday is my birthday party.
Su Jin invited people to celebrate.
I hope you'll come as well.
Wow, it'll be grand...
that person's party.
A lot of elites will go, right?
Tell him you want to go.
What do you mean?
- Sae Do can... - Train overseas.
Train overseas?
Yes, that Team Manager Kang nominated PD Shin.
But every year 100 apply.
Two people are chosen. The company pays expenses.
They can study widely
so competition is fierce.
PD Shin must grab this chance.
What should we eat?
Curry rice or fried rice?
Mm. Curry rice.
Curry rice, fine.
Who was that man before?
My boss from the law firm.
Sae Do said he's famous.
In his field, he's a hero.
So an important person took you for tea?
He must value you.
Dunno.
So, will you go to his party?
You eavesdropped?
I didn't.
If not, what?
Just...
I just heard, that's all.
Are you going to go?
No.
Why not?
It's pointless.
Aimlessly walking around,
superficially meeting strangers.
I hate that most.
But society isn't simple,
and he was your boss.
He personally invited you to his party.
It's rude not to go.
- You want to go? - Hm?
Who, me? Nope.
I do want to go.
It's not that I want to go.
Just, I can go if you feel weird going alone.
Don't fantasise.
Go once, it's nothing.
Take me once, then say that.
True. Someone like me... why imagine it?
I know. Forget it.
Does she want to go?
Of course I want to go.
Would an average woman like me get invited to such a party?
Right?
I'd love to see that event.
Be careful chasing those things.
Be wise or you'll get shallow.
How's a little shallowness wrong?
If you want to go, ask him.
How embarrassing.
He says it's for snobs. How can I beg to go?
I have pride.
So you know it's shameful to nag him about it.
When did a female fantasy get shameful?
Because that's superficial.
Really?
Dal Ja, don't strain.
How can you be so stiff?
Why am I like this?
OK, stop mopping. It's clean.
I asked your cleaning lady to come twice a week
from next week.
Too much dust is harmful.
Also, garbage needs to be taken out everyday.
Cockroaches are annoying.
- Sae Do. - Yes?
- Tell me anytime. - What?
When you tire of me
or like another woman more.
Don't hesitate to tell me.
I can return your ring.
What do you mean?
Same for me.
When I tire of you,
or there's a man I love more,
I won't hesitate to tell you,
and will return your ring.
Seon Joo...
You and I find it hard to stay with one person.
What we have today is already good.
I shouldn't be greedy.
I have no requests.
Just...
Just what?
Don't shackle each other.
- Also... - Also what?
Whatever the reason,
if we break up,
we stay good friends.
We can still meet.
So don't force yourself to stay by my side.
Know what I mean?
How long will you talk like that?
You still don't trust me?
It's not that.
So why say those things?
What do I have to do so you believe me?
What should I do so you'll trust me?
I believe in you.
It's how I can say those words, don't you know?
Believe?
- You really believe in me? - Yes, I do.
Then why aren't you telling me the truth?
Our baby's inside you.
Why do you hide it from me?
When will you tell me? I kept waiting.
But you don't plan to tell me at all.
I'm worried about you.
For me and the child,
you're giving up a big chance in your life.
Dal Ja, still asleep?
It's noon.
Not getting up? It's Saturday.
Don't bother me. I want to sleep heaps.
Aren't you coming to the party tonight?
What?
Well, your words made sense.
He was my boss, and it's his birthday.
It's wrong if I refuse.
Well...of course.
It's awkward going alone. Want to come with me?
Do you have time?
Really?
Sure, I'm okay with it,
since you're asking me.
Wait. I don't know if I have suitable clothes.
What do I do? I have nothing suitable.
Wear anything. You'll look good.
Ah, but not that dress you wore on my birthday.
Which hotel, what time?
Hilton, 6 p.m..
Oh. I still have time.
I know. I'll see you there at 6.
Where are you going?
What you don't know won't hurt you.
What is it?
- Seon Joo. - Yes?
- Do you have clothes? - What sort?
Clothes for a 33-year old woman not to look old beside a man who's 27.
~ I really miss ~
~ always thinking of ~
~ the you who smiles so innocently ~
Do you have time?
Your hair needs doing.
~ heart swelling ~
~ warm sunlight ~
~ my cold heart ~
~ seems to be melted by you ~
~ oh sweet sweet sweet, my love ~
~ I've fallen for you, oh ~
~ clouds in the sky ~
~ eyes like sweet marshmallows! ~
Still not here.
Miss Oh Dal Ja?
Yes, I'm Oh Dal Ja.
Really pretty.
Of course.
Spent time and money.
A woman's beauty depends on the time she puts into it.
We'll be late. Let's go in.
Dal Ja.
This way.
That way?
- Isn't he in parliament? - That's right.
Oh, that's a TV anchor, right?
Oh, this is so good.
That's a famous novelist?
Hey, a movie star is here!
Laughing at me?
No.
Coming with you makes it enjoyable.
Can you get her autograph?
Alright, I'll get it.
But why's everyone looking at me?
Because you're so beautiful.
Ah, gosh, well now.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Hard work pays off.
Oh my! Isn't that Kang Tae Bong?
What's going on?
Is he coming back?
Oh god, he's still so hot.
But who's the woman with him?
She seems old.
So much attention is on this guy.
Kang Tae Bong.
Long time no see, Tae Bong.
I missed you.
Right. Long time no see.
What's this?
What's behind the negative feeling between these two?
Dreams are important, but this is too much.
Giving up a good job... why make it hard on yourself?
Choose between the two.
Give up my teaching, or give up Dal Ja.
Your mom gave it to me.
In the end, it's a money issue.
Dal Ja, are you thinking the same as your mom?
Either I give my dream up or I give you up?
Oh, scared me.
How can you show up so suddenly?
