Even so, how can you call someone in the middle of the night?
And then you threaten me.
What were going to do at home?
I'm sorry.
What I did was wrong.
I won't call you at night anymore.
Instead, just don't say that we're splitting up.
These two!
You're dead!
You must be kidding me!
I'll clean that.
Where did he go in the middle of eating dinner?
H-he got a call from his friend so he rushed out.
I thought he didn't have friends.
I-I-I didn't meet a woman! It's true!
What woman would meet a man like me?
Noh Linda.
It's Linda Noh.
Linda Noh.
We can't see each other anymore.
You already know. That I have a woman in my life.
Mother knows too and I'm surviving under her forgiveness,
but this isn't right.
Noh Linda, you have a husband too.
I told you I'm getting divorced.
- Where are you going? - To see that woman.
I'm going to go and tell her everything. About our relationship.
What did we do that you're calling it a relationship?
Noh Linda!
Linda Noh!
Let go of me!
What are you doing? You'll dismantle my image.
- You know. - What do I know?
But... why do you run so well?
I was an athletic runner when I was in school.
I-I was an athlete too.
See? We have so much in common.
I placed first in a lot of races and won a lot of medals.
My nickname was the Amazing Bolt.
I was a national athlete substitute.
What?
I was training and sprained my ankle. If I didn't, I would have been in the Olympics.
T-t-o the Olympics?
I'm just your neighborhood soccer player,
Noh Linda, you're like at the World Cup level.
I was an impressive woman.
I'm going to settle matters today.
Noh Linda. What I did was wrong.
I won't say that we should break up.
If you go back home, I'll call you later.
Really?
Pinky promise.
- What about dinner? - I had some hangover soup before I came home.
Teacher Eun called.
- What did she say? - She called because she was worried about you.
Why does Teacher Eun worry about you?
She said she called the house because you wouldn't pick up your cell phone.
She said it wasn't urgent but she called because she was worried about you.
I don't know what it is, but I don't feel good about it.
And I think that you two seem suited for one another lately.
She probably got worried because she's my junior.
She worries a lot because I'm at the academy.
Then what else would there be?
Only the two of you would know if there was something else.
Where are you touching?!
Water.
Get me water.
- Water.. - Wait here.
- Don't go anywhere else. - Okay.
- Who are you? - Who are you?
Oh, Shin Hyung's younger sister Choi So Hyung?
You're not Choi So Hyung. You're long.
I'm Shin Hyung's friend.
- Hello. - I missed you.
- What? - Give me some water.
- What? - Give me water. Are your ears plugged?
Get it yourself!
Come here.
Sit down here. Look...
I had something to ask you.
Why is Shin Hyung acting like that lately?
He's drinking everyday.
It's because he can't forget about her.
- Can't forget whom? - Ah Ra.
That's it, right?
Oh my. What do we do with him? Huh?
If I knew I could corner my son I would have married him off long before
Koo Jong, you know Ah Ra, right?
Of course. It's been 7 years. I know her very well.
The three of us dated together.
The three of you?
Did you like Shin Hyung?
What? As if that would happen.
Shin Hyung and I as a team with Ah Ra...
I mean, with Ah Ra and the two of us,
Why's it coming out like this?
Mother if I were to tell you,
If Shin Hyung and I combined brains, we still couldn't win over Ah Ra.
You should have won her over.
Hey, do you want to go meet her?
- Who? - Ah Ra.
I feel like your mind wanders every now and then.
My father says the same thing.
That's part of my charm.
I'm not quite sure about charm,
but do you want to meet her and try to get Shin Hyung's feelings across?
Huh? That he's deteriorating.
- Try telling her to rescue him. - Rescue him?
Gu Joong, I know what you're here to say but...
You probably don't.
Because it's rude to turn away someone who came to find me at the office,
keep it simple.
I have a meeting soon so I've got five minutes.
- Save him. - What?
Not me but Shin Hyung. He's deteriorating.
Just save him once.
He's fine. What are you talking about?
Does he have to look sick on the outside to be dying?
His insides are rotting and crumbling.
Last night, I barely saved him from drowning himself in the Han River.
He said that he would drown and die in the Han River?
Putting it bluntly, if something should happen to him, how will you take responsibility?
Why do I have to take responsibility for him?
If he wants to die, then let him.
What?
If he's going to die over a woman, there's no point for him to keep living.
They say that women who leave are strangers, but you're really cold-hearted.
But there's that time you've spent together.
I'm atleast talking this much because of that time.
The worst people in this world are those who die over a man or a woman.
I don't understand people who will die for love.
For money, maybe.
Ah Ra, you lived more cold-heartedly than I thought.
It's a real thing that people die because of love.
Stop telling me immature crap.
Gu Joong,
we're already finished and it's burdensome that you're on the sidelines doing this.
I'll get up first.
I knew this would happen.
Women think completely differently than men.
[NS Home Shopping Announces Branch in China] [Qualifications: At NS for at least 3 years..
High five!
- We're finally employed! - We're employed, Father.
Is this real or is it a dream?
- It's reality right? - It hurts but I feel great.
We're probably the only ones in the world where father and son work for the same company.
- This place has been on TV. - TV? This company is that famous?
Life is different now so it came out on TV.
Since I didn't see any boxes... I couldn't see my own hands.
You should work hard too and come out on TV too.
You should succeed too and sit in a nice company chair?
Don't worry.
I'm definitely going to be on TV one day.
But Father... won't this be hard on you?
I'm only going to be working four hours a day.
People need a job.
And there's money in it too. How great is that?
I feel like I've got the whole world.
Let's go! My treat!
I thought we were eating pork belly, but we're eating pork skins instead?
Just think of it as just the skins of the pork belly.
There's not that much of a difference.
It's not that there isn't much of a difference.
I just wish we could eat pork belly as much as we pleased.
Ki Dul, when I get my paycheck, let's have a pork belly party.
Our family is about five portions, right?
You can't do the math? You eat three portions by yourself.
You need at least three portions per person.
Three portions?
Three for me, Ki Dul three, Sung Choon three.
Father and I are about one portion per person.
- Then how much is that? - 12 portions.
11 portions. Your back may break, Father.
Eat some more.
Give some to your younger brother, kid!
Who do you take after that you can't do math?
He takes after me.
That's something to be proud about.
If people on the street say that I'm an unemployed bum,
tell them that I'm not!
Because I'm a working man.
We'll have to see how much you can bear.
- If you're done eating, go to the academy. - Yes.
- Thank you for the meal! - Thank you for the meal!
Look at how the kids eat. It scares you, right?
If you want to fill their stomachs, you have to work tenaciously.
Don't worry.
He'll be working with me, so he definitely can't slack off.
I'm going to work hard and get pork belly and not pig skins...
And it'll be homegrown.
I'm going to feed them until their stomachs burst.
- I'm going to buy 11 portions. - Just don't forget it.
But Father...
Don't you think our family situation has gotten better since you met Madame Chun?
That's right, Father. I think so too.
They say that if a good woman comes in, problems will be easily figured out.
For our house, things got better when I came here.
What are some things that worked out better since you came in?
I will tell you later in a calm collected manner.
Anyway, you should treat Madame Chun to a meal.
- R-r-really? - I get the sense that she knows.
No Ra's 99 times quicker than other people.
Then what do I do?
You tell that woman that you're never going to see her again.
If you made a promise, you should keep it.
She came to the house so I got scared.
But it's weird.
If No Ra knew, she would have instantly grabbed our heads and whirled them around,
and smashed our heads together.
After that, she'd have something left to say. But if shes not saying anything...
I think that's strange too.
Given her personality, she would have already created a ruckus.
Is it possible that she doesn't know for sure yet?
I'm not sure.
Don't you dare see Noh Linda or Noo Linda ever again!
I won't meet up with her.
Really.
Treat No Ra well too.
Yes Mother.
Honey!
Tada! Guess what I brought?
I've known since you came through the gate that it's chicken.
At any rate, I have to commend your keen nose.
I'll leave this here. Eat it later.
Wait a second.
I sewed this up, so wear it.
Out of all the places that can rip, how did you rip them there?
Don't go around straining your butt.
I didn't strain them.
Thanks.
Eat and go.
Huh?
Let's eat together. It doesn't taste good if I eat it alone.
To be honest, I haven't eaten and I'm hungry.
I'm telling you to eat and live. Eat while you are working.
- Don't they give you lunch? - They do but I stepped out to meet someone.
Who?
S-s-someone. It's definitely not a woman.
Honey, you eat the drumstick. I'll have the wing.
They say that you'll cheat if you eat the wing.
Eat the drumstick.
They say if you eat the drumstick you'll stop and run away.
Don't eat the drumstick either. Have some of the body.
Honey.
Should we go somewhere when I take a day off this week?
Don't be good to me.
The worst person in the world is the one who gives a lot and then leaves.
If you're going to leave anyway, then a man should heartlessly cut ties and leave.
Giving them affectionate and their heart,
and it just makes it hard on the other person.
What are you talking about?
I don't catch a man who leaves me and don't stop one who comes to me.
- You haven't found him yet? - No, sir.
Only con artists have approached and the company's image continues to be tarnished.
Perhaps we should give up...?
We can't give up.
If he's still alive, he's probably suffering somewhere.
I must find him before I die.
Look here, Secretary Park.
Look for him one last time.
Definitely in all the newspapers, the daily newspapers,
the classifieds, help wanted, to the free newspapers.
All the newspapers. Put it out in all of them.
If that still doesn't work, then we'll give up.
I understand.
And, send out people to search through the neighborhoods.
We've searched the streets countless times, and nothing has turned up.
Just do it one more time!
There could be someone who remembers later on!
I understand President.
He needs to definitely be alive somewhere..
Don't be good to me.
I don't catch a man who leaves me and don't stop one who comes to me.
If you want to go, then go.
- Lee Dong Hyun. - Private Lee Dong Hyun.
- Park Gun Ho. - Park Gun Ho.
Na Joo Ra.
Private Na Joo Ra!
Know that I miss you.
Are you healthy?
Train to serve your nation well, and I trust that you'll listen to your superiors.
For sending you off to the army without feeding you a last meal..
...my heart breaks.
Joo Ra.
You know that Mom loves you a lot, right?
Please take good care of yourself.
Love Mom
Father, Madame Chun is here.
Why didn't you tell her that I wasn't here?
She said she came to congratulate you on your new job.
How did she know? Did you tell her?
Yes. It's good news so I had to tell her.
- You sure have a speedy mouth. - I have to be speedy in everything.
Come out quick.
Congratulations on your new job!
- Our loving brother Yong Pal. - Our loving Father.
Congratulations on your new job!
Congratulations brother.
What kind of job will you be doing?
I'll just be folding and unfolding things.
- Folding and unfolding things? What things? - Something.
Don't try to know too much.
Our Father doesn't like it when people prod too deeply.
I see.
This is the first time in my life I've seen such a big cake.
I have a large bank account and am a generous person.
You're so impressive. You're my ideal--
His. You'll soon be my father's ideal woman.
- But it's a little cold in here. - Oh my word! I'm sorry.
We're so used to it that we're unaware,
but those who keep their boiler pumping all say that our house is cold.
Blast it! I make money now! She..
Why are you saying things like that?
Nothing matches, right?
My father and I collected all of this from the street.
If only things matched, our house would be great.
That's how thrifty Father is.
Really, the more I get to know you brother, the more I think that you're an excellent man.
People these days should learn these things.
I've seen this table a lot somewhere.
Oh my! We threw this table away from our house!
- It's Italian-made, right? - It is Italian-made!
We picked it up from Italy!
Near that corner in that side street.
- We throw our things out there! - When and where did you pick this up?
My friend gave it to us when he moved to another country.
Father, what's wrong? Don't you remember?
I thought I was going to die carrying this!
Father that time I--
Ahh, this must not be it.
I must have been mistaken.
The glasstop is different. This is so much better!
Italian-made has its different levels too.
This is top quality! Top quality.
Even if you picked it up, you picked up something really great.
Brother, you've got great taste.
He's a pro at searching through garbage.
Father, go inside the room with Madame Chun.
I'll bring you two some tea and cake.
We'll just eat out here.
Brother, let's go inside.
Oh my!
Your son looks just like her!
Brother, do you find it uncomfortable that I visit you at home?
I can't say a lot.
Since you've brought it up,
I said that we should be like brother and younger sister,
but something's unclear and I'm apologetic for it,
and feel uncomfortable about it.
There's nothing for you to feel unclear and uncomfortable about.
I don't want anything.
I just wish that we get along as a good friend, or younger sister,
or like a lover.
To be honest, I want to get closer to you brother,
You response hasn't been good so I've been cautious and it's been hard.
Uh... it it okay if I ask you something?
By any chance, do you have feelings for someone else?
Huh?
Are you all right?
- I heard you were looking for me-- - Why were we looking for you?
Let me tag along. Things are looking so good between you two.
I asked your Father if he had a girlfriend,
but he won't give me an answer.
My Father doesn't have a girlfriend!
Back in the day when he was so popular,
I was busy trying to keep the ladies away from him.
If he had a girlfriend right now, would he be living like this?
Well...
Hello?
- Are you at work? - Yes.
I'm late right? You were waiting for my call?
Well...
I didn't go be a playboy somewhere else so don't get mad.
I was busy. There was an important seminar I had to prepare for.
I thought I was going to die because I wanted to call you so bad.
- Just to call me? - No. I missed you too.
But you didn't send me a text either.
I figured you'd be busy.
Then it's nice that you understand.
From now on when you don't get a call or text from me,
just consider it as I'm really busy.
And don't get any weird misunderstandings.
Weird misunderstandings like what?
Like, "He must be with another woman and giggling with her?"
Bingo.
As expected. How's dinner?
I have a seminar, so let's eat around the area.
No no, let's see each other right now.
I'll go over there.
The kimchi stew around there is good.
- So you're saying that I pay for it? - You sure are quick.
If I'm going all the way there, you have to pay for the meal.
Let's save up the money from the seminar,
and buy a house, land, a yacht, and a plane.
I'll see you in a bit.
Hey aren't you going crazy?
How can you stay still even after you see that?
You're not a saint.
They're doing this in front of you on purpose.
Huh? This isn't being considerate.
For someone who broke off an engagement and is a complete mess,
do they have to act like that in front of you?
They don't have a clue.
Does she have to call him over here? Fully aware that you'd run into them?
The kimchi stew around here is good.
This guy has completely lost it.
You used to flip out if Ah Ra would even look at another man.
Fine. She's someone else's woman now so what's the use of making a fuss?
But your vision is blurred so what will you do?
Like your Mom said, you should quit this place and work at the agency.
Stop doing things that don't suit you.
I met Ah Ra, but the chances of success are slim.
Why did you meet Ah Ra again?
- Huh? - Why did you meet Ah Ra again?!
Because I like her! I like her!
I wanted to flirt with Ah Ra!
You were crying and a mess at the Han River,
I thought I was going to die because I was so infuriated.
I thought I was going to lose my best friend!
We've been together for 20 years.
How could I live without you?
You were a mess and crying at the Han River,
My body ached. Look at my back.
Hey Choi Shin Hyung.
The expert is telling you, but there's only one thing you can do.
A woman who's moved out doesn't come back again.
You rent it out or let another woman come in,
so if you like them, you don't press a lease on them.
Everyone leads a life that way.
- I'm going to call a few over now. - Forget it, man.
- About the jacket you bought Ha Ni... - Yeah. Does it fit her?
She said it wasn't her style and gave it to her younger cousin.
- What? - It's fine. They always exchange clothes.
She promised that she'd buy Ha Ni a pretty one.
This place's kimchi stew really is the best.
- Look... - Hm?
I thought about this for a few days,
and I felt that I should bring it up.
About what?
About Ha Ni.
It's a little impolite of me to mention this but,
but this is an issue we'll both have to face, so I'll say it.
I understand Ha Ni's current situation.
Her mother and father divorced when she was young,
and that she must be a hurting finger to you.
I know that you want to be good to her because she's here on break with you,
when I see that, it gets me.
The side of her that she can't ever show you,
how should I put it?
A feeling that she's undisciplined and that you cling to her?
When other people see her, they might think that she's an ill-mannered child,
as an undisciplined child so I worry.
If I interfere, then I feel like she'll want to be rebellious,
I think that people will say, "What's wrong with that child?"
So, even when you dote her when she's being good,
- If you set her in line-- - Wait.
Ah Ra, I know what you're saying but...
"Does she not have manners?" "Is she not disciplined?"
You shouldn't worry about that but can't you accept Ha Ni as she is?
- I meant-- - Yeah.
Ha Ni does whatever she wants.
But she's my daughter.
She's a child who's grown up with deep wounds.
Isn't she still my daughter even if she behaves well or not?
I wish that you would acknowledge her flaws and accept her as she is.
- I'm not saying that I wouldn't accept her-- - I know what you're trying to say.
I don't take notice of those things and I want to take Ha Ni's side.
And I'm saying I wish you'd do the same.
I wish you don't think that I leave her be because I'm not able to make firm decisions.
If you start saying, "I wish she did this or that," then there's no end to it.
Just accept her as she is.
If you find her mean, or if you dislike her.
I'm not saying this because I dislike Ha Ni.
- Just that. - That's enough.
Let's drop the subject.
Don't take it personally.
It's because Ha Ni is still young.
I'm thinking of beating and drilling it in once she's 15.
I even put aside a club.
Would it be okay if Ha Ni and I went on a date alone together?
I want to become friends with her quickly.
Okay.
So you've decided to die by excessive exercise?
What now?
I came to check up on you. Because I was worried about what you might do.
- What floor is this? - The fifteenth floor.
i hope those windows are secure.
Don't worry. I won't jump out of one.
Ah Ra mentioned this earlier.
That a person who dies for love is the most pathetic person in the world.
Hey, when I saw Ah Ra the other day, she was really ugly.
There's a ton of girls within 100 meters who are prettier than her.
We should get them before someone else does. Let's go.
I saw you two. Okay.
Come straight to the two handsome guys here and don't get distracted.
Drink slowly. Are you drunk?
Even if I drink all night, I won't get drunk.
- Kyung Joon. - Welcome.
Ugly girl, over there. Uglier girl, over here.
Hey, don't fight.
They can't keep their heads on straight whenever they see me.
Have a seat.
Hello.
- What would you like? - We like any kind of alcohol.
Lips too.
My lips aren't for sale, so we'll leave it at drinks for now.
- Why did you come in the middle of the night? - What?
You have a lot of time but nothing to do.
You may have run out here because we just happened to call you over,
We're not really that fun.
How can you say things so thoughtlessly?
It's not like we came to be treated.
We didn't come because we didn't have anything else to do.
Of course, that's what you'll say.
A woman who chases after a man who called her at night,
isn't she a prostitute?
And if there's a man who interests you, then you two naturally--
What kind a jerk are you!
Hey, hey what's wrong?
You come out with me. You totally look down on people!
Hey don't be like this. Tell her you're sorry.
She's got a black belt in Taekwondo.
A black belt in Taekwondo? Oh, I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry.
You're crazy. Gu Joong.
How come you bring out jerks like him?
Be understanding. He's out of his mind right now.
He's been dumped.
That explains it.
If you go around looking like that of course you'll get dumped.
Whoever that lady is, she did a good job dumping you.
Kyung Joon, don't go hanging around with this jerk.
Your reputation will fall.
I came here when I really couldn't because of you.
What rotten luck. Hey, let's go.
What's wrong with you?
After drinking that much and getting slapped by a woman I just met, I might laugh too.
Crazy man.
Yes.
- Did you call for me? - Yes Teacher Na. Have a seat over here.
Teacher Na, why do you make your students teach themselves?
Excuse me?
The students spend their precious time and money to come to this academy.
To let them teach themselves.
I've never had them teach themselves. I did it so they can solve their own problems.
Isn't making them solve problems having them teach themselves?
Director.
In math, you have to solve the problems yourself.
One's abilities don't get better by a teacher who solves them all for them.
If they don't solve them themselves, they won't ever get better.
That's the way that I teach.
When you scouted me for this academy,
didn't you call me in to teach the students in my own way?
Teacher Na.
Please don't use what I said previously against me.
Just do as I say.
This is an academy and I am the head of the academy.
Like how schools have their own methods, academies have their own as well.
Please don't forget that students spend a lot of money to come to this academy.
What will you do because it's so tiring?
It's not like I didn't expect it.
But it's getting a lot harder the more our values clash against each other.
She thinks that if the students solve their own math problems,
it means they're teaching themselves.
Stay strong, Dae Ra.
You're the best no matter what anyone else says.
One day the students will realize that too.
And this. Drink this for your sore throat.
It will work well.
And this too. It immediately relieves dry lips.
My throat's pretty ragged after talking all day.
And it's so cold that my lips get chapped.
Thanks. I'm always on the receiving end with you.
It's no big deal.
Mm.
Yeah.
You're right outside? I got it, come inside.
Dae Ra. It's a surprise.
There are a few graduated students who want to see you.
That's okay, right?
- Right now? - Teacher!
- You kids! - Teacher!
- How did you get here? - We came because we wanted to see you.
- Please accept our bow. - What do you mean a bow?
- Sit down, sit down. - Yes.
Sit down, sit down.
- You kids haven't had dinner yet, right? - Yes.
Ma'am your best potato soup! Five large orders.
Dae Ra, five is too much. Two will be more than enough.
- Eat and have some more. - Yes!
Give us two date teas and five bottles of soju.
- So you remember tonight. - We understand.
Ow, ow Teacher! Ow!
Teacher!
Ah seriously, it hurt.
Cheers!
Teacher you remember that I was a poor student, right?
I was going to be chased out because of my debts,
because of you, I got my act together and studied hard.
Whenever I think of that, I consider you as my life savior.
When I make a lot of money in the future, I will take care of you.
Put it in writing.
Hey do you guys remember?
Our second year. On our break..
Oh that one party that night?
Teacher I thought I was going to die because I was so nervous.
You want to play but you're afraid that you might be caught by Teacher Na.
So Teacher, you knew all along but you let it pass, right?
That's when I realized it.
That our angry and temperous Teacher Na is a human too.
When Teacher Na could solve that problem I couldn't in academy in a blink of an eye,
I thought I was going to faint.
He said it wasn't easy for college students to solve either.
- Really?! - Yeah.
Teacher, that's when you became a legend at our school.
But after I heard that you transferred to an academy,
it tugged at my heart.
I thought you'd be at the school for a long time.
A great teacher like Teacher Na should stay in school for a long time.
Hey, Teacher Na was scouted by the academy. You should congratulate him.
- Oh... - Really?
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
Teacher, this.
- What is this? - We all chipped in and bought you a tie.
To us, you are always our teacher.
We've done all this for you, so you can't just go home tonight.
Teacher. Are you in for Round 2?
Sure, you guys.
I'm okay. It's fine. I'm fine.
This is the tie that your students got you.
And this is chicken.
Bring that to your children.
Geun. Thanks for today.
You helped me feel like a teacher again.
Dae Ra, you were always a teacher.
A great and respectable one at that.
How is someone like me so great if I can break at an academy?
Don't be like that, Dae Ra.
You're not lonely.
You're right. I'm not lonely.
I have students who come to find me.
I have you too.
I have a wife at home and three bunny-like children.
Why would I be lonely?
I don't feel lonely in the least.
Your husband is home.
Why did you drink so much? You have a sore throat.
I had something to drink because I was in a good mood.
Let's have a party tonight. A party. Party.
Let's wake the kids. Eum Son! Hwa Son!
Don't do that. The kids are asleep.
Ah, you're mean.
Their father is home and you...
Feed this...to the kids tomorrow.
Did you go see Mother?
I couldn't go.
I told you to go and take Byul to see Mother once a week!
She had a fever so we couldn't go.
Why does she always have a fever?
She has one because she gets one. Do I do it on purpose?
And I'll figure out when to visit Mother myself.
You don't need to worry about that.
Did you drink with Teacher Eun?
- What are you curious about? - Were you two together?
You're only curious about that, right?
Ask me why I drank tonight.
Then I'll give you an answer.
What does that mean?
What I think about, what I worry about, why I drink, right?
what I worry about,
why I drink.
You don't care about those things, right?
What's wrong with you?
Forget it.
Let's have a talk.
I'm tired.
You must be tired whenever you come home.
You exert all your energy outside of the house.
Get up.
- I said I'm tired. - I said let's talk.
Do you know the last time we've talked?
You talk to other people so fondly, so why is it when you get home that--
I said that I'm tired!
My lips. Can't you see that lips are busted?
Can't you hear that my voice is shot?
What can I talk about? Talk about what?!
I talk all day that my mouth smells foul. Foul!
Even if it's at home, let me rest.
Huh?!
- Isn't this a little too bright? - It's pretty.
Check the accounts?
It's been over a month since you took over, so we have to examine the company books.
Are you checking my homework right now?
Why do you want to see that?
Will you even understand them if you saw them?
What?
If you handed it over to me, you should trust me and leave it to me.
Checking up all the time isn't leaving it to me.
How can you say something so unbecoming?
I'm saying something like this.
They're not all in order yet,
but don't worry, I'll get them in order.
Your depression only gets worse with you worrying about it at home.
Oh my my my. He--
Shin Hyung. I can't live here because it's so suffocating.
Tell my stepmother to stop trying to grab me.
Father died early because of it,
and is it now my turn?
Why do you say things like that?
How is Father passing away Mom's fault?
He died of a chronic illness because he had to deal with her temper.
You look just as impressive as any other day.
Come see me, Shin Hyung.
Quit the company and take over the agency.
I'm worried that he's using up all the company's assets.
I asked to see his books and he won't show them to me!
Huh?
- I shouldn't have let him take over. - Trust Goo Hyung.
Do you think he would let it go under?
Who do you take after that you take his side?
Mom, I'm going to China.
China? Are you going on a business trip?
Not on a business trip.
Our company is opening a branch in China and I'm going to oversee it.
I'll come back in three years.
What news is this? Three years?
Do you want to see your mother dead?
Go. Okay, go!
If you come back in three years, you'll find your mother dead!
Know that I've already made my decision.
Shin Hyung.
Hey! Shin Hyung!
Hey!
- It was really fun, right? - Well, sort of.
You're hungry right? What do you want to eat?
- Whatever you want, Lady. - Let's eat what you want to eat.
- I can eat everything. - Yeah?
Then should we go eat spicy rice cakes? Do you like spicy food?
Whatever.
I know of a great place. Let's go.
- What's the matter? - Sung Ae.
Save me. My son said he's going to China.
- He's going to China for what? - For work.
Because he's smart, it looks like he got picked to go as a representative.
Even being too smart can be a disadvantage.
It would be fine if he just said that he wouldn't go.
I think it has to do with Ah Ra.
He's been drinking every day lately.
If this continues, it might make a mess of him.
Can't you send your daughter back to him just once?
It's that she's so stubborn.
She's the type to stick to doing whatever she says she'll do.
I can't shake her either.
But she'll listen to her sick mother!
Just... talk to her about it just once. Huh?
I wish that I can stop him from going to China somehow.
After my husband died, he's the one thing I've lived for.
You know how I feel right?
I... can't live without Shin Hyung.
How can I live if he leaves?
How's this? It's pretty right?
Do you like it?
Ha Ni, try this. I think it'll look good on you.
How pretty.
Can we try something else?
It was really fun. We got a lot closer.
I'm confident going a round against you with Ha Ni.
We're going to attack you together, honey.
You can ask Ha Ni what we did.
Okay, honey. Sleep well.
I do too.
Oh Ah Ra. Come here
- He's going to China? - You didn't know?
Why are you trying to stop him?
Stop him? Why would I stop him?
Madame Chun is about to die.
Her husband is gone and her son is all she lives for.
I have a lot of children so it doesn't affect me if one leaves the house and then another,
but she only has one.
Why is it just one? She has that Avatar-like daughter who sticks by her side.
And what does that have to do with me? It's all over.
- Don't be like that. - Forget it!
That girl's temper...
- I heard you're going to China. - How did you find out?
The company hasn't said anything yet.
Everything that you do reaches my ears.
- Don't worry about my mom. - Not me. My mother.
Don't make my mom worry about you.
Why are you like this all of a sudden?
Does a son who used to do everything for his mother have to do something this extreme?
And what am I that you would make that kind of decision?
I'm not anything to you.
Don't drive a nail into my mother's heart because of me.
Don't flatter yourself. It's not because of you.
- Shin Hyung. - I don't care about your life,
so pretend that you don't know what's going on in mine.
Don't bother me.
You too? You've done a lot of work this time.
- I definitely want to go. - Do you speak Chinese?
- I know some easy phrases. - Easy phrases like what?
"How much is this?" "Where is the bathroom?"
Something like that?
What else is there to know besides that?
Body language is universal.
How Choi Shin Hyung-like. Accepted!
Honey.
You came? What do you want to drink?
What for? It's just a waste of money.
- Let's go eat first. - After we have a talk first.
What did Ha Ni say? She said she had fun, right?
Was there something that happened with you and Ha Ni?
No, there was nothing. Why?
It was fun. Ha Ni enjoyed herself and had fun too.
Why? Did Ha Ni say something?
No, let's stop.
What is it? If I didn't hear it then well... but let's hear it.
Tell me. What is it?
After what you said, I thought that you and Ha Ni got much closer.
But that wasn't the case.
What?
It's difficult for me to say this but I'll just say it like it is.
You dragged Ha Ni to watch a movie she didn't want to see,
and that you ate spicy rice cakes?
She hates spicy food but you made her, so now she has an upset stomach.
She said that you ate it well enough on your own.
She hates cheap accessories, and that you dragged her along though her feet hurt.
She was thirsty but you didn't buy her water.
When you took a picture, you wanted your face to come out smaller,
so you pushed her to the front.
And what do you think, honey? Do you think I would have done that?
Ha Ni doesn't lie.
Even though she does what she wants, I know that she's a child that doesn't lie.
- Then are you saying that I lied? - Let's stop. We'll end up fighting like this.
Let's go eat.
No Ra. Will you have a drink with me?
Who drinks in the daytime?
Drinking in the daytime usually tastes better.
How ignorant.
I'm going to have a drink too.
Just let it barely touch your lips.
If I thought I was going to die by one drink, I would have it and die.
When I stop to look at you, Mom you're quite glowing and impressive.
But I don't know why you lived your life so miserably.
I didn't want to live my life like you.
I really wanted to live in style.
Mom, how did you bear to live that kind of life?
How can I say that?
If I had to write a novel, it wouldn't be enough.
When was it the hardest for you? And not when I made things hard for you.
Mom, you said that once before.
"In life's most painful moment, the only way through it is always painful."
That there wasn't an easy way out.
That if you were to live it over again, that you couldn't do it.
That's what I said.
When my children were hungry, when I couldn't send them to school because we were poor.
That's when my heart hurt the most.
What else?
When my man cheated on me.
That's hell for a woman.
How can you put that betrayal into words?
That's the end of a woman.
Actually my illness... it started when your father cheated on me.
I was furious, felt unjustified, and it hurt my pride.
Even if I sat still, he would still do those things.
If you sit there, you end up losing a few kilograms.
Someone who hasn't experienced that doesn't know.
I think I can understand, Mom.
That someone cheated on me would mean that his heart left me,
and that he likes her better than me.
Your pride hurts, and your eyes burn with anger,
and that feeling that you want to kill the both of them.
I think I understand that.
It would have been better if I pretended not to know.
I was so young that I said it without thinking of the consequences.
If I handled it better, I could have ended that.
I kept on pushing and prodding at it,
it would smoke and spark.
You don't even know that it's become impossible.
All men end up as objects anyway.
No Ra.
I'm sure it's nothing.
Mom, you knew?
When I see you can't eat or sleep, it's obvious.
Do you think I don't know your heart?
I'm usually the type to let things go easily...
But my heart burns trying to keep it in and let it pass.
And my temper won't flare.
That he might leave me... that he might abandon me and leave me..
I couldn't do it.
I didn't know either.
That I liked him that much.
Aside from popular songs, there's one other thing that I know.
And even that I only knew for only a few weeks.
That when it happens to me
How can I send him away without a word?
If I send him off like that, it would be stylish,
I can't even do that.
I guess this is what it means to reach rock bottom.
Just wait. He'll come back.
[Noh Linda: I am going to your house right now.]
Who are you?
Hello. We've met before, yes?
..So?
I came to tell you something.
This isn't a school but an academy.
You're not a school teacher but an academic tutor!
- I don't think she'll last much longer. - Can't we get Mom wild ginseng one more time?
- Wild ginseng? - She said she gave up on her illness,
and do we have to spent that exorbitant amount of money again?!
You know that Ha Ni is making things hard for Ah Ra, right?
It upsets me that your family says things about Ha Ni.
Na Ah Ra! I love you!
You're mine!
