Are you crazy? How can we live in the same house?
Mother and I aren't even close, and it's stressful every time we cross paths.
And what about my mom if we lived with your mom?
I won't even be able to go to my house freely as I want.
Shin Hyung...even if it's a tiny little place, let's start fresh alone, huh?
Complete nonsense.
Move out my butt. So unbecoming.
You're my one and only son.
You can't let someone split up a parent and their child.
I've never once thought of you living separately when you get married.
Of course you should live here when the house is this big too.
And what about my work?
What? It's not even a great job, and I'm hanging onto it for a measly salary?
How can she say that?
I've never once thought of becoming a housewife when I got married.
You recognize that too, right?
I'm going to keep working even after I'm married.
I have to work. I have to earn money too.
Be quiet. Say something that even makes sense.
Does she think marriage is a joke?
How does she expect to work while taking care of this whole household?
It's plain obvious.
This house will be a mess because she'll be busy working.
Do you think I should have to take care of a daughter-in-law?
I'll pay her that same salary,
so tell her to stay home and take care of the house.
For someone who's not even that great sure does act like she's something great.
What are you going to do about her dowry?
I can't bring a big dowry.
I know that people would think of me presumptuous for saying something like this.
But please excuse it for the amount of time we've dated.
I will express my sincerity, but I can't bring as much as mother wants.
If I had it, I would pack up a few truckloads, so I can be loved by mother,
and be able to stand tall and proud.
But what can I do when I don't have it? It's not like I can steal.
Do I need to go into debt for it?
Of course she should get a loan.
How does she think she can bring nothing but herself into this house?
This is why I opposed her.
I...have no intent of doing business with a daughter-in-law.
But, there's such a thing as keeping up with appearances, and a basic rule.
If she doesn't even bring an adequate dowry, I'll be too embarrassed to lift my head.
I'm not talking about something huge.
Tell her to at least pretend to do as much as the other people do.
How unbecoming...
I'm about to go crazy.
I get shouted at here, and I get shouted at there.
It's just like a storybook.
So why are you trying to get married then? Just live by yourself.
We just want to live by ourselves, why is it so complicated?
You're about to become a husband, but you act like a high school kid.
Hey Choi Shin Hyung.
If you want to label this,
This is a power struggle between the mother, and daughter-in-law and if you're not careful, you'll get hurt.
Mom is one thing, but if you start being dragged by a wife, you'll be dragged forever.
After being dragged by her for 7 years, you want to be dragged around again?
Do you think I want to be dragged around?
You said you were researching this, how is it going?
Even though your mom and your wife are both trying their best to gain the power,
but it'll change after some time.
So don't worry, and just live through the next 3 months.
You understand what I'm saying?
No.
It's the favorite motto for all playboys.
Just saying something good to pass the moment. You're good at that.
This isn't playing.
Tell me more precisely. My head isn't working these days.
Ugh, you bastard.
Come here.
What would a 20 year of know? A woman has to be over 30 to be real.
How ignorant.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Do you have a little time?
-I'm burning up inside. -It seems like it.
-Would you like some of my water? -No.
Tell me honestly. Where am I lacking?
Excuse me?
Even though I'm old, and don't have money, I'm prepared to start a new phase in life.
Even though I can't make her rich, I won't make her suffer heartaches.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
You shouldn't throw away a person's sincere heart.
I know I have a bad and quick temper. But I'm not like that inside.
Hating the sight of me eating, and the sound of my voice. I'm not attractive at all?
Just because I go around looking like this, you shouldn't take me so lightly...
Normally I would endure it and just let it go. But grandpa, drink some ice water and wake up.
Okay?
Wait, wait. I think you've misunderstood.
How should I say this? This is awkward.
Do you think I'm talking about you? Your mom, I'm talking about your mom.
My mom?
Yeah. Up until couple of days ago, she was telling me how much she loved me.
-So why is she being like this? -Is this why my mom got sick?
Then...help me.
So, you and my mom... Tell me everything so I can understand.
Really?
Who is it? Did you see him?
I saw him. Even though mom was trying to pretend otherwise, she can't fool me.
They've known each other since their hometown when little.
But why do you think mom hasn't said anything?
I'm sure it's because she was embarrassed. And she was probably being coy too.
Should we step up and get mom married?
Mom, are you asleep?
Why? Are you checking to see if I'm dead?
You're funny. Why didn't you tell us?
-About what? -About that grandpa.
I heard you and that grandpa even talked about marriage.
The thing you wanted to tell us the other day was about that, right?
But why did you tell him no all of a sudden?
I lost my mind for a moment.
Do you think I'm going to change my life at this age to clean up after a corpse?
You have to wait and see who would become a corpse first.
Don't worry about things like that, and do what your hearts wants to do.
I feel sorry for him.
He suffered for 7 years because of a sick wife.
I shouldn't make him suffer like that again.
-I'll be punished. -What are you talking about?
I'm just saying I feel sorry for him.
With all the kids I have, do you think I can change my life?
I don't want to.
-Who told you to take us along? -Who told you to take us along?
None of us are going to follow you hanging onto your skirt.
And if anyone did, it would be Joo Ra.
I heard you knew him from your hometown. What's the reason for sudden change of heart?
I told you I got my sanity back.
I don't want to live trying to appease an old man at my old age.
If I had started living with him when I was younger, that would be a different story.
But what affection would I have for an old man I met after I've already become an old lady?
That story is already over, stop talking to me about it. It's a bother.
She has a restaurant?
I think they only deliver. To factories, salons and such.
What does she look like?
Just average.
Father is usually very picky about a woman's looks.
Because he was so picky, he married mother?
What's wrong with my mom?
Don't you even look in the mirror? You two are mirror images.
Anyhow, she's perfect for father.
Since she has a restaurant, at least she won't starve father.
My goodness...my prayers have been heard.
My pretty Director Jo. Ugh...so pretty!
So...you're just happy about not having to cook for father?
If you haven't...
had to scramble to set the table the moment he says "Rice", don't even talk.
Now that I think about it, Director Jo has some serious skills.
He definitely pulls his weight.
Is father attractive as a man?
If you're even half the man father is, I'd kiss your feet and carry you on my back.
If I was like my father,
I wouldn't have become your husband. Such nonsense you're spouting...
You should be thankful to my mother!
Father! You're late...
Did you two go on a date?
Father. Father...
I wonder if they fought?
I'm sure he's pissed off again. You know he's a pouter.
Father isn't here.
He must have gone to exercise.
I accidentally slept in. I was up all night with so much on my mind.
-Take your time setting the table. -Do you want hell gates to open?
The heavens are helping this morning.
Father, have breakfast. It's all ready.
I'm not hungry.
Did you hear that? He definitely said he wasn't hungry, right?
This is the first time I've heard him say that he's not hungry.
And it's also the first time that he didn't ring the doorbell.
Go in there.
Father, eat...
I don't think we'll be able to move out.
As you already know, it hasn't been long since father passed away.
Mom still cries all the time saying she should follow dad in his footsteps.
I just can't tell her we're moving out on top of all that right now.
We can get married, and just for 2 years...
No...I mean 1 year. Let's live together for just 1 year.
That way I'll have a leg to stand up to mom on.
I promise. After that, we'll definitely move out.
If you want, I'll even sign a contract!
Women these days...even after they're married they all want to keep working.
Of course it's not much money.
But it's not about the money. If she stays home, she'll get stressed out.
So she's going to nag constantly, and really get on me. Do you like that?
I don't want her to work much longer either.
I'm going to be the president of our company, and my wife can't constantly be working either.
You know it's not easy to be the president.
For now, can't we allow her to work for just a few months?
Just until we have a baby.
She certainly is stubborn.
Why is she being so stubborn about something she's going to quit in a few months?
As for the dowry, let's do this.
I'll buy whatever is needed, so appease mom that way.
I don't want to do that.
You and I both know each other.
Let's not close our eyes and do things like this.
I don't want to have to bow my head down to you.
I don't want to patch it up with the money you give me.
I'll talk to mother about it.
Fine mom. You have to give in on one thing.
In her situation, she can't bring the dowry that you want.
And we can't get a loan either. Ultimately, I'm going to have to pay for it.
So, I will take over the electric store just like you want, so give in on the dowry. Okay?
They're killing you, killing you.
I'm never getting married again. You, don't get married.
This isn't meant for human to be doing.
Did you do as I told you?
I did what I could for now.
It's more difficult than solving International Conflict.
I never knew women were this scary.
You're getting scared before you're even married?
This isn't faking it. I feel like I've been married for 50 years.
But at least for now, thanks to you I've passed a huge hurdle.
You can buy drinks. And snacks to go along with it.
--Hello. -Hello.
A lot of new phones seem to be out.
Yes. And this one is the newest among them all.
It's the same as my name.
You're right.
Does Goo Hyung come in here often?
Oh, he came a little while ago... oh, there he is.
Goo Hyung.
What brings you in here?
I stopped in while passing by.
Passing by?
Oppa!
What are you doing here, Goo Hyung?
Speaking of which, what are you both doing here?
For both of you to come into the store like this?
Why? Did your mom tell you to warn me not to come in here?
Seriously, you twist everything around.
What?
Goo Hyung. If you haven't had lunch, let's grab some together.
I'm not going to eat for fear of choking on it.
I'm getting married.
With who? Did you go on blind dates?
No. The girl I've been dating for a few years.
With her?
I doubt your mom is happy about it.
Things are really complicated because of that lately.
Why don't you help me?
What is there for me to help with?
Is your mom someone who'd listen to me?
Free up some time soon. We can have a meal together and you can meet her.
There's no need for that.
I can just see her at your wedding. I don't have the right to accept her greeting.
Why are you being like this?
Now that I think about it...
This must be your wedding gift.
It's not like that.
If not, that's a relief.
I'm leaving.
Goo Hyung.
See? He's twisted.
I'm home.
You haven't left yet?
I just back from work.
Here.
A drop in the bucket.
This is all you made all day?
I was told once I get used to it, I'll earn more.
I even get complimented on my work these days.
There's no rice. So I was going to make some ramen.
Do you think someone made rice for you? We all just had cold rice ourselves.
How can I get you to leave? What is it that you keep sticking around for?
I can't even lift my head around the neighborhood because of you.
How in the world did a loser like you get stuck with me...?
It's my downfall not to have any money.
Where is the ramen?
No, forget it. I'll forget it.
Pisses me off.
You should at least make him some ramen. He was out working all day.
Whatever. I'm sure he'll take care of it.
He gives you all the money he earns.
Even if you're going to send him away, be nice about it.
Being bad to people is wrong. It'll all come back to you.
What do you want me to do? No matter what I do, I can't get rid of him.
He worse than the gum stuck on your shoe.
If you start eating just anything because you're hungry, you're dead!
What a joke. You're a math teacher that can't even match up the lotto numbers.
Shouldn't that be easy for you?
So...if you look at the exchange rates...
First rate of exchange is...
8,145,060 to 1.
This is too much.
Why are you so jumpy?
Jumpy? I'm not jumpy. Why would I be jumpy?
What is it?
I'm just organizing the math problems that I gave out to students.
I should use Sundays for thing like this.
Why?
Come out here.
Someone came to see you.
Who?
-Hyungnim (Older brother). Accept a bow. -Oh...no. NO.
I heard you came because of our No Ra. What is it about...
For now, have one of these. This is a stress relieving drink.
Not sure what to call it...
You shouldn't have. Have a seat.
Did something happen to No Ra?
It's not because there's something wrong.
But my name is Shin Ki Han, and I love No Ra.
Oh really? And I thought...
I should have introduced myself sooner. I'm sorry my greeting is so late.
No matter, it's nice to meet you.
I'm her older brother, Na Dae Ra.
I know. A worthless school teacher...
No, that's not what I said, but No Ra said...
That's right. I'm a broke and worthless school teacher.
Bring something out here!
I'll have it out soon.
You said your name was Shin Ki Han? That's a really great name.
How did you meet our No Ra?
-When I went to collect on her debt. -Excuse me?
Fate is really fascinating.
No Ra took out a loan from some loan sharks, and I went to collect. And then 'Boing'!
Ah. I'm not a loan shark. But I used to run errands for him.
But I've totally gotten out of that field, and doing really constructive work now.
Constructive work?
Yes. I carry bricks around the construction site,
And even mix cement. That's really constructive, right?
I guess so.
What does your parents do?
I'm an orphan.
?
I'm sorry to ask this... but how far did you complete in school?
I took some night classes...
But no matter how I tried, it didn't meet my needs or interest.
And since I had to stay up all night, I couldn't even study because I was so sleepy.
And my friends didn't like it much... I quit after couple of months into first year.
But I get on with well with No Ra. I'm the only one who can match No Ra's level.
Drink some of this.
Thank you.
Have some.
-Hot! -Oh my, oh my.
That's hot... I'll get you some ice water real quick.
No...no, it's okay. I'm fine.
Does No Ra know about you coming here today?
She's not normally the type to just endure things and just let it go...
So I came here without her knowing.
What is it about her that you like so much?
She's confident. A confident No Ra is the best.
She's confident?
I don't think that's the word you use to describe her.
No...if a debt collector comes for you, other people gets down on their knees and beg.
But from the beginning, No Ra would say, "I won't. Just split me open!".
That's how she responded...
She was just so confident...
At that sight, I was like wow... and a total goner.
Where is your home?
I live at your mother's as a freeloader with No Ra.
I'm going to find a room and move out soon.
You live at my mother's?
What is it? You said to come out immediately so I ran all the way over here.
Why? Did you get the money?
I wouldn't bat an eye if you told me that you met someone and were getting married.
When you're looking like this, how can I be picky about the man you choose?
What is this about for the explanation to be so long? And for you to be disrespectful?
I heard you're living with Shin Ki Han or some thug at the house?
He's not a thug.
Whatever!
How did you know?
Let's see if I leave those gossipers in this town alone!
Which one of the wretches tattled?!
It wasn't some wretch, but that Shin Ki Han came to our home to introduce himself.
What a little asshole...
Where the hell does he think he's going? Who the hell does he think he is?
-What did he say? -What do you think? He wants to marry you!
It's not right.
He looked fine, and he was cleanly dressed, so I asked him a few questions.
After a while, I felt so bad for him that I couldn't even say anything.
Are you going to marry the guy?
He's not mine. Don't you think I have eyes?
He is really nice, but just because he's nice, I can't marry him.
Even though he loves me to death, I don't feel the same way.
What man in this world wouldn't like me?
Fine then. Make a clean break with him.
How did you think to bring him to mother's home? There are neighbors too.
I guess there's a reason why mother got sick.
Send him out immediately!
Honey, don't get mad.
I felt like I needed to greet the older brother, so that's why I did it.
I'm not mad.
Really? I get scared when you get mad.
But I'm still scared when you're not mad. It makes me nervous.
I'd rather you just get mad. It would be better to get it over with.
Do you like me?
Yeah.
I'm not educated, and have a horrible personality.
You've already seen that, so what is it that you like so much?
You're confident. I love how confident you are.
-I love it so much. -That's enough.
You said you've never done manual labor.
Aren't you upset about having to hand over your hard earned money like that to me?
No.
It doesn't upset me at all.
Who in this world wouldn't be upset about handing over their money?
I know it's upsetting to hand over my money too.
I'm just saying it doesn't upset me to give it to you.
To me...a person is more precious than money.
That's why your desires and everything else is just like nothing.
As long as you're happy, I can do anything.
You're the only person that has ever entered my heart.
I've never gotten close to anyone since I was abandoned by my parents and grew up alone.
I like you, your mother, and your whole family.
Even though I find your older brother a little scary.
But I liked his wife. She was very kind.
Kind my butt.
Honey... let's find a room somewhere and move out.
You're really sad.
You and I don't match. I don't like your kind of style.
I like a man who has everything. Since I'm not educated, I like a man who is.
I'll learn too.
I'll go back to high school, and even go to college.
And since I've got nothing, I like a man with lots of money.
I'll earn money. I'll work had and earn lots of money.
A person who is not educated and has no money like you and is just agreeable is annoying too.
The ugliest things in the world is a woman who's ugly, and a man without any money.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I'll cut my face up with skates.
I guess you don't understand.
Out of the $320 you've given me, I've used $36.
I took a bath at the bath house, bought myself an ice cream and yogurt.
You've no complaints, right?
No, I don't.
The money that's left...$274.
This is the first time in my life that I've given someone leftover money.
I'll pay back the loan shark's money.
So don't get scared of them and live how you want. You understand?
Don't follow me.
Why are you so late? Did you find any jobs?
I think...I was born into the wrong world.
A person like me has to be born into the right world.
Is this how you went?
Yeah.
You should have dressed better. What the hell is this?
A person looking to get hired doesn't even wear a suit.
From beginning to end, there's not a thing I like.
Where is a suit that I can wear?
You don't have a suit?
There's nothing but that one suit I wear to funerals.
The one I wore at the wedding.
The winter one.
Stop it. It's your father's.
Father wants to drink?
He hasn't been eating anything. I've never seen such a thing.
I wonder if he is sick?
He's someone who always ate his meals without being late not even a second.
Even the day mother passed away, he still had a bowl of rice.
Without even knowing others were making fun of him for it.
I wonder if they fought?
Why don't you find out.
I was going to find out anyhow.
Your voice makes me cringe, and I don't even want to see your face.
And you smell like an old man.
Father, I'm coming in.
I'm not eating.
It's not food, but drinks.
Father, have a drink with me, please?
It's tofu and kimchi that you like.
I went to the tofu shop over there and bought fresh ones that are still warm.
Here, accept a drink father.
When you started to waitress, just at what point did you start the phase
of retiring me from vice president to Director Jo?
But I liked it back then.
When I started working at the nightclub as the bookkeeper, you used to take care of me.
And you ultimately gave me his son.
Where in the world is fate like this?
You really were okay back then... and even now...
I've been totally ruined now. You don't have to say anything.
Why don't you tell me? Just what happened?
Did you fight?
Are we kids? To be fighting?
Come on, you're no fun.
You used to tell me all your thoughts back then, have you changed your mind?
I just can't understand it.
Why are women like this?
After promising me that she'll marry me, how can she suddenly flip? Is she a pancake?
She flipped? What did she say was her excuse?
She says she doesn't want to hear my voice, and hate the sight of watching me eat.
It's not like she's eaten with me very much.
She used every excuse she could find to tell me not to come see her. Why's she like that?
She's being like that suddenly.
She's strange.
I can understand.
You're a little like that.
How am I like that?
You're not a good person for a woman to be living with.
Since she was about to marry you, your personality was really getting to her.
What's wrong with my personality?
Even though I may be quick tempered, I don't hold a grudge.
That's what gets to people.
You may say that you don't hold a grudge, but throw temper tantrums.
And once you forget and start to smell, do you know how it angers the other person?
It drives them crazy, and makes them want to flip out.
You're trying to slyly add in your contempt in there and let it pass through.
That's right.
To be honest, I'm the only one who can take your quick temper, not any other person.
Once you say "Rice", I have to drop everything and bring in your food table.
And your constant "Mmm"'s, do you know how annoying that is to hear?
It's been over 20 years of me living with you,
but I'm still not used to that sound, and it makes my heart drop.
So how do you think she would feel?
So father, if you want to get married you need to fix all those.
If you don't, you'll have to live alone for the rest of your life.
The lonely old man that you hate the most.
Don't even mention being a lonely old man!
Grandma, here. Some grandpa asked me to give this to you.
Sung Ae.
Writing this letter is making my really nervous.
I don't know how and what to say.
After some thinking, I realized there are a lot I need to fix about myself.
In one word, I have a bad personality. I've got a hot and quick temper.
But...please understand.
It's because I'm still immature.
When a person matures, they die and it's no fun.
But if you still tell me to fix them, I'm going to fix them all.
I'll be pretty about how I eat, and I won't make my voice sounds disgusting.
"Mmmm? Mmmm? Mmmm?" I won't do that either.
I have no intention of ordering you around.
I'm not going to have you my an old man's laundry and cook for him.
I'm not saying I want to live while having you serve me.
I can cook well, and do the laundry too.
I've never had my daughter-in-law wash my underwear. I wash them myself.
I'll change...so accept me.
Since I can't see you, I don't want to live in this world.
I've been living from the enjoyment of seeing you...
I don't want to be a lonely old man.
Until the end of the road, let's hold hands and go together.
-What about her response? -Here you go.
-She didn't say anything else? -No.
Forget it.
You're not even feeling well, so what's the point of a memorial?
Tell Dae Ra to do it this time.
She's pregnant. So I have to do it.
Patient Mo Sung Ae hasn't come, right?
She needs to be examined.
Try contacting her.
Is it that grandpa?
No.
Did that man leave?
-I guess so. -To where? You said he had nowhere to go.
Why are you asking?
It's because it's weighing on my heart. Lots of things are, and making me feel sad.
-Just forget about it. -I already have.
I'm sorry mother. I should've come early, but work is taking me longer. What to do?
Dae Ra is going to be a little late because he's still with a student.
He said he'll be there as soon as he can.
I'll be there as soon as I'm done too. I'm sorry mother.
Okay, I got it. Take your time.
What do you mean, take your time? Even with her running here, it'll be late.
She's just making excuses because she doesn't want to have to work.
It's not easy to be out working while being pregnant.
That's why other people's money is scary.
You have to be mindful of the owner, and cater to the customers.
So how can she just come and go as she pleases?
Try to think of your daughter as much.
You are so considerate of your daughter-in-law but you're so quick to jump down my throat.
What would you have done today if I hadn't been here?
Just be good to me, just me.
We should just be thankful that she married into a poor family like ours.
What else could you want from her?
Why don't you just keep up your crush on her?
Look at Ah Ra using broadcasting as an excuse to be late.
It's not like her programs even gets aired all that often.
Before she gets married, use her as much as you can.
Does she even know how to make rice?
You just worry about yourself. I worry about you the most.
Hello?
Excuse me? I'm Na No Ra.
Oh really? Okay, I'll be right there.
Mom! The place where I applied for a job asked me to come right now.
-I think I got it. -Then go right now. Hurry.
-Where is it? -It's a secret.
Dress conservatively! Don't dress so loudly!
It's a place where dressing loudly is what works.
It better not be at a bar!
Do I really have to go to grandpa's memorial?
Okay mom.
I'll be there.
It's lung cancer.
What's more unfair than being diagnosed with cancer before you're even 70?
If you think like that, there's no reason to live. What's there to life?
Just have fun and live. Not doing that is stupid.
Kids or not, there's no use for any of it. Your body and health is the most important.
If you're the one that dies, you're the sad one.
People left living will just go on living.
How can the daughter-in-law be coming now?
It's late, let's go in.
-Mother. -Mom.
I don't need any of it. I don't need it!
Memorial or not... how is he related to me at all?
Do we share the same blood or flesh?
There is living people dying, so what's the point of commemorating a dead person?!
Contact your father, and tell him to take this stuff out immediately!
Take it all!
What...have I done wrong to live like this?
It's all because of that bastard.
It's because of that damn bastard that my life has become this pathetic state!
All of you...aren't my kids.
You're all that assholes kids!
If it hadn't been for you kids, I wouldn't have lived with him!
Get out. You, you and you're all my enemies!
Get out! I don't even want to look at you, so just get out!
Get out!
Why's mom like that? She's never once been like that.
Don't you feel anything?
How can you be the head daughter-in-law and leave everything to mom?
She can't even eat well these days because of the flu she has.
She said work was especially busy today.
You stay out!
It's because you're always protecting her, that the household is like this!
-How can you say that? -Why? Is what I'm saying wrong?
What is it that you did?
I was out earning money, but what did your unemployed self do?
To be honest, he's your grandfather, he's not my grandfather.
You heard, right? She said it's not her grandfather.
Stop it!
Why did you do? You should've helped mom!
Everything is blaming me. That's why I need to get a job.
That's why I went out to see about a job. Why?
This is all because mother's persistence.
Even though father said he was going to take all that stuff, she fought tooth and nail.
She said she didn't want the thought of her kids going to that house,
and she said she can't stand the thought of that woman doing the memorial.
Mother says she'll do it and pass it down to us.
What a great thing to be passing down to us.
-Stop it. -Mom is incorrigible herself.
After having everything taken away, what's the point of keeping the memorial stuff?
What the hell is good about being the first wife to want to maintain that title.
What the hell is this? Even us?
Tell them to take it to the other house.
Or you can host it.
I'm sure she started getting upset about this and that while preparing by herself.
I'm sure she felt unfair about having a memorial for a father-in-law without a husband.
I don't think it's as simple as that.
There's something strange about mother.
I've never seen her act like that.
Her eyes were completely crazy. I could see the blood veins about to pop.
She hasn't even been eating these days, so where does she get that strength?
It is strange.
No matter how tired she is, she wouldn't have done this far.
Ah Ra...you didn't notice anything?
No.
By any chance, is it because of that?
-Because of that? -What is it?
I don't know if I should be saying this...
I heard some grandpa wanted to marry mom.
Who is it?
Really?
He likes her, but mom broke it off because she didn't like him.
Then why is she like that... if she broke it off?
No kidding.
We need to know the problem before we can get the answer...
What?
Why is everyone staring at me?
You know why we're staring.
-What about me? -It's true mom is upset because of you.
And she's been sick ever since you arrived.
Normally I would endure it and just let it go.
Normally you'd let it go? Or you mean you normally start a fight?
Why do you think you're doing? You want to fight us? Sit down.
Sit down and talk.
There's no need to sit down. Are we really even siblings?
Are we really siblings from the same womb?
How is it that all of you are just after blaming me for everything?
Is it also my fault that mom trashed everything while getting ready for the memorial?
Fine. It's my fault when it thunders,
and it's my fault that the prices of goods keep soaring.
Satisfied?
Everything is my fault. You have to take a step back to notice.
How do you know what I'll become later to treat me this way?
I'll go off on my own and take care of myself.
So all of you awesome people have a nice life on your own!
Hey.
Grab any member of the family, got it?
Make sure not to lose them, and grab them right away.
Grab them right away, and...
put them in this sack.
What brings you here?
-You haven't been home in a few days... -You told me to leave.
If you're going to leave, you should have formally said something. It worried me...
You worried?
Your words may be harsh, but you're really kind hearted.
Even though I'm kind, I'm always being taken advantage of.
I'm not going to let that happen anymore.
When are you going to get your stuff?
Wait just a little bit longer. I'm working like crazy right now so I can get a place.
Just wait until then.
Whether you rent a room or a kitchen, you can do as you'd like.
Even if I'm not there, go and get your stuff.
And live well.
And don't work for thugs collecting money for them.
Things like that doesn't suit you.
Just work at an honest place like this, and meet an honest woman.
And have some honest kids, and live an honest life.
I don't want to.
I'm going to live in style with you.
What is it about me that you like,
that you go around saying nonsense about how you like my confidence?
I can sick of people easily. I can't live with one man for very long.
I'm leaving.
Honey. Wait for me. I'll earn money and come find you.
Honey!
What are you doing?
Why did you come to the hospital, and so hesitant about going in?
You've been doing the same thing for almost 2 hours now.
What is it?
You're killing me! Killing me!
Tell me. Why did you go to the hospital?
Is someone in the hospital?
-Or... -I have cancer.
What...what did you just say?
I have lung cancer.
When did you find out?
Is that why you broke up with me?
That's why I told you to go to the hospital when you first started coughing.
You can't even take care of your own body...
I told you a cold can't be left alone for too long, right? Huh? Huh? Huh?
They're sure it's lung cancer?
They think so.
You should get a surgery right away, why are you sitting around like this?
I'm not going to get better anyhow...
I don't want to just suck up all the money, and become a burden to the kids.
How can you say things like that? How can a parent be a burden?
If a person gets sick, they need to get treated first.
What's the use of money?
It's difficult enough for them to live... I can't add on to that.
If they say I could be cured, there's nothing I wouldn't do.
But they say lung cancers are mostly incurable.
They say it's a sickness that eats up all your money and then you die!
You said that? What disease in incurable in this world?
Who said that?
Everyone. Everyone said that.
It's not like I'm 40, or even 50 years old.
I've lived enough, so I feel like it's better that I just go.
Crazy...what do you mean you've lived enough? You're now just 66 years old.
You can live another 20 years.
You're still young.
I don't even wish for another 20 years.
I just wanted to see my kids all settled before I died.
But what is all this?
It's like a nightmare that I can't wake up from.
Let's go.
Where?
There's no time to be sitting around like this.
Yes?
A person should call their patients and get them treated quickly,
what doctor waits until they come find you on their own?
Isn't it a doctor's job to save a person's life?
Don't do this. They called several times.
I'm sorry. Have a seat.
Since you asked us to sit, I'll sit.
Just get it fixed first.
Don't tell me how bad you think it is, and don't give me any other explanation.
Just tell me exactly how it is. I have experience with this.
I'm sorry...but how are you two...
-We're not anything. -We're married.
Excuse me?
If you want it in words, we're not anything right now, but we'll be married soon...
How can a young person like you not have any sense?
I'm sorry.
Then, I'll talk to you comfortably.
We suspected lung cancer after the last exam results.
But we need to do more accurate exams.
If after the results, you're eligible for a surgery, we'll get you surgery.
And you also need chemo treatment.
How are you feeling?
What about blood?
It came out a few times.
You even coughed blood?
-Just what... -But...
More than being sick, I'm not even like human.
I do things I've never done before...
And out of the blue, I feel angry and unjust so I start to scream.
And I feel forgotten despair bubbling up from inside.
I'm so angry, I can't even think. And Without even thinking...
I get angry and shout.
I went down to the Han River, and cried my eyes out.
I feel totally crazy.
I'm sure you are.
It's usually common for cancer patients to be depressed at the same time.
Why wouldn't they be depressed? It's killing a living person.
A family member or someone close has to be their strength and protect them.
If you get angry, it'll stress the patient out more.
Take care of her well, and protect her.
Cancer is something for the whole family to go through together.
I know.
I've already gone through it all.
Even death is being whimsical. I can't even do what I do with my own mind.
It does whatever it wants to.
Even though at times I feel like I've lived enough, and I should just die,
I think, "No. I can't die yet".
I feel at times even if I had been 70, it wouldn't have been so unfair.
If you were 70... you would think 80 was better.
And if you were 80, you would think 90 was better. That's human nature.
He's right.
Yesterday, in the midst of getting ready for a memorial service,
I trashed the whole table.
I said awful things to my kids I've never done, and cussed them all out.
Because I'm sick...I'm just out of my mind.
I'm not even a mother...
You're just causing trouble.
It's your body that important, what's important about that memorial?
What are your kids doing?
Do they even know what you're going through?
Nobody knows. I didn't tell them.
You fool.
You never thought about how your kids will blame you if you were to die like this?
How can you just think about yourself?
You're really selfish.
No kidding.
You did well. If you just let it go like that once, everything gets a bit lighter.
You did well.
Whether I did or not, a person's heart is simple.
When I looked back after all that, the urge to live just shot up...
I don't know where I got that greed.
All human's hearts are the same.
What person wouldn't consider their life precious?
Of course you'd want to live.
Of course. You should live.
Will she get better if she got the surgery?
Just tell me that.
Don't go saying things like how a person's life hangs in God's hands. Be honest.
She need to get accurate exams done first for us to decide.
If you're able to get the surgery, it'll be a good thing.
In my opinion, the sooner the better.
If it's okay with you, you can even get admitted today...
Then let's get her admitted right away.
-Let me think about it a little. -What's to think about you fool?!
Hey, it's me. Are you at work?
Yes. Is something going on?
How is mother?
She's fine. She was just throwing a tantrum.
Don't worry.
I just called because I thought of you who's always working so hard.
Excuse me?
I was worried about the other day when I left after being angry.
I know you're pregnant, and still working... I'm sorry.
Okay.
You're really busy, right? Then you must get home late?
Yes. We're really busy today.
Then are the kids home by themselves?
They're going to be late from school today.
On the days that your brother come home early, then he watches the kids.
You seem to be working very hard.
Then work hard.
Okay. Bye No Ra.
What the heck? Saying things she's never said before...
I'm getting goose bumps.
Geum Song?
Hwa Song?
Where does this wretch keep all her money? There's nothing I can use!
How can she not even have a gold ring?
Sung Ae.
I know where you're coming from. But this isn't what's best for the kids.
Will you be able to just die this way leaving your kids behind?
Don't give up.
If you were at least 75 years old, I wouldn't be saying this.
Listen to me.
Even if I'm not there, come and get your stuff.
-Honey. -What...what is it?
I knew you'd run.
-Where are you going? -You don't need to know. I'm in a hurry.
-Don't do this. -What are you doing? I have no time!
Even if you're going to go, tell mother before you leave!
I don't need any of them. She's not on my side either. She's on other kids' side!
A bad kid like me is not needed!
Someone like me who's not good for anything doesn't have to be here.
How can you say such a thing?!
-Honey, please. -If you're going to come, fine. If not, don't!
Honey!
She's your sister!
Yeah she's my sister. So what do you want me to do about it?
-Where are you going? -I have to go get her.
Really? Let's go to Sok Jo. There's a job.
-Set a date first. -In that case, how about tomorrow?
Let's go to lunch tomorrow.
Sung Ae? Sung Ae!
What happened? Why did mother collapse?
I don't know either. -How could you forget about today?
Forget it. Let's forget about this wedding.
I'm getting this surgery so I can live. But is there a chance I can die during it?
I'll tell you the truth.
Did he say mom can live if she gets the surgery?
He said the chances aren't good if you look at it objectively.
He said to prepare ourselves.
What do we do? What do we do about mom?
