(Episode 99)
- Bok Soon. - Yes?
He seemed fine.
Who?
You said the spa owner down the street was sick.
You said he planted something in his heart.
Were you talking about my brother-in-law?
What?
Since you can't answer me, it is him.
If you bought rice wine, let's drink.
What are you talking about?
Aren't you going to tell me?
What's going on?
Well...
Mr. Kim recently collapsed.
He had surgery to widen the blood vessels.
What?
Won Yong?
Mother.
This is why he didn't want you to know.
My goodness. This is bad.
Mrs. Park.
- What is all this? - Check yourself.
It's Kim Myung Ha's housing subscription deposit account.
Education insurance. Life insurance.
When did he start?
This is pretty old.
You think I'm a helpless idiot.
I'm also a mom who worries about the future.
Since you wanted to start your own business,
I saved money on side dishes...
and perm to pay for them.
Even if something happened,
I still wanted to make Myung Ha study.
I'm proud of you.
I didn't hire a maid even though my waist hurt so much.
I've never received a nice massage to save up.
So don't tell Myung Ha to give up on becoming a professor.
Just like how you were your mother's only hope,
I want my son to study as much as he wants.
How could you tell your child to give up on his dream as his father?
Do you know how disappointed he was when he left for school?
I'm telling him to see the reality.
Even if I have to pick up waste paper at an old age,
I'm going to support my son's study, so don't mind it.
Who could it be at this hour?
Open the door.
- Open the door. - It's Mother. What do we do?
What brings her here at this hour?
Hello, Mother.
Where's Kyung Ha's father? Son.
Mother. He's in the room.
- Son. - No.
He's tired. He wants to take a rest before going back to work.
Hyun Sook. She knows everything.
Know what?
Mom. What brings you here at this hour?
Mom. What are you doing?
Where is it? Which part was touched by a knife?
What do you mean a knife?
I heard you had a surgery.
Mom. Calm down.
How did you get a heart attack...
and end up getting surgery?
Mom. Calm down please.
It wasn't surgery. It was only a procedure.
I don't care what name you call it with.
You must have not taken care of yourself at all.
You're young. You're not even in your 60s.
How could you have a heart attack?
Mom, I'm not young anymore.
By the way, the treatment went well.
You have nothing to worry about.
Do you want to see it?
See? Look. 1, 2, 1, 2.
You know what? That day,
I knew something was off.
You looked pale.
I knew something was off.
I kept having bad dreams.
My goodness.
I'm so sad to see my son suffer.
Just to feed your children,
you didn't even know that your body was falling apart.
My heart is breaking for my dear son.
- Mom. - My goodness.
I'm fine. I'm all right.
- Dear me. - I'm really okay.
I should leave this world. I should.
I should leave. I should.
Mom.
- I'm perfectly fine. - Goodness.
I'm all right.
My goodness. Gosh.
- Oh, dear. - Mom.
I must leave this world before him. I ought to.
I must leave first so that...
I don't see him suffer like that.
- My goodness. Oh, my. - Mother.
I saw it coming when he was working...
too much like that.
He was stressed at work and at home.
How could he be healthy?
His children took turns to torture my son.
And his youngest brother tortured him too.
He has an old mother.
On that weak shoulders of his,
he's carrying a pile of burdens.
No one is trying to take a load off him.
How could they add more onto the pile?
How could they be so greedy?
When your daughters are old enough,
marry them off with men who adore them.
That's how you lessen your burden.
That's how your husband can breathe.
Are you talking to me?
Yes, I'm talking to you.
Mother, what have I done to deserve that?
You didn't do anything wrong?
Just look at Yong and Kyung Ha.
You were quite stubborn.
Weren't you?
It's time for you to stop now.
Did I force them?
- They are the ones who don't... - Hyun Sook.
I'll be honest. You were really harsh.
You too, Myung Sun?
If you gave them your approval,
they would have gotten married long ago.
You know what? With his new job,
Yong isn't lacking compared to Kyung Ha.
It's just that he doesn't have money.
That's the only concern.
Besides, money is a tricky business.
You know that money comes and goes.
No need to look farther. Just look at Gwang Jae.
Gwang Jae whom you loved so much because he was from a rich family.
Well, now things have gotten better for him now.
Everyone is the same in this world.
If someone is evil by nature, that's another story.
However, we can't treat people differently...
based on their wealth or education.
If we treat people differently,
someday,
it will all come back to us. That's how the world works.
Mother, I'm a bit offended by what you just said.
Let me sum up.
You're telling me that Won Yong is sick all because of me, right?
I can't say that it was all because of you.
However, don't you think you partially caused it?
I'm sure you played a small part.
Goodness, honey.
It's about time you take me too.
Gosh, there's nothing I want to see more of now.
Before I see something worse than this, take me away from here.
Take me.
- Mother, don't cry. - Gosh.
Goodness.
Gwang Jae.
You're giving me trouble again, aren't you?
Mr. Nam.
How did you know I was here?
My mother told me.
I want to see Gwang Jae before I leave.
I can't reach him.
She told me that he would be here.
He's not here right now.
Then where?
I don't know.
Is there a place you think he might've gone?
Could he have gone there?
Uncle Gye Dong used to take Gwang Jae when he had a problem.
Where is that?
(For Rent, Inquire Within)
Hyun Sook.
Bok Soon.
- Do you want to have a cup of... - Do you want a cup of tea?
Shall we?
Yong is working a lot...
to help my husband these days.
That's nothing.
He owes his life to Mr. Kim.
He ought to help Mr. Kim in any way he can.
Thank you for thinking so.
He ought to help out.
When does Yong start his job?
He starts on Monday.
I wanted to buy him a suit,
but he already got a nice suit.
I bought him a new suit.
He nagged me so much for spending money...
to buy that suit.
He's a good son.
Thank you for thinking so.
You see, Bok Soon.
I'll just be honest here.
You don't like...
Kyung Ha for your daughter-in-law, do you?
That's not the problem here.
My son isn't good enough for Kyung Ha.
That's the problem.
He can finish his studies later.
My daughter is older than Yong.
She even had a wedding.
Age isn't that important these days.
I'll be grateful if she's capable enough to take a load off...
Yong's plate.
Really?
I'm sure...
you expected more from your oldest son-in-law.
Would you be okay with my son?
- Do you want me to be honest? - Pardon?
Sure.
I wouldn't be.
No matter how distinguished the guy is,
he won't be enough for my daughter.
You'll know it when Seo Hee gets married.
No matter how troublesome your daughter is,
she's too precious to give away.
That's only natural.
That's why you must feel so sad to send her away.
As the saying goes, "No parents can force their children."
I guess it's all true.
I've been here before too...
when Mr. Lee was alive.
Whenever he felt sad,
he came here and sat down for a while.
I heard that it's a place...
where they scattered Gwang Jae's mother's ashes.
Gwang Jae.
Why did you come here with him?
He came to see me because he wanted to see you.
Let's go.
No.
I'll go back after sorting out my thoughts.
Wait for me until then.
How will you organize your thoughts?
I don't know too!
I don't want to do anything right now.
I don't even want to cook at Gami.
Do you feel like you're abandoned by your father?
Didn't you say it was fun cooking...
regardless of your father?
Didn't you?
You said you were a born chef.
I said that because I thought my dad was watching me from the above.
Is he not watching you now?
Gwang Jae.
You and I started with rice balls.
We worked on lunch boxes and food truck too.
We made it this far without anyone's help.
Think of those moments.
About the Recipe Book,
it is shocking to me too.
But I don't think he abandoned you.
He only looked for you until the moment he died.
You forgot about that?
Without the Recipe Book,
you developed your own recipe through all the memories with him.
You are surprisingly talented.
Don't forget that, Gwang Jae.
You said that you went to the salt field.
You went to the factory too.
I thought you went there because you missed your father.
I didn't go there because I miss him.
I went there because I wanted to ask him why.
I'm sorry, but could you excuse us for a second?
I'll give you back the Recipe Book.
No. I don't need it.
It's yours.
The moment you inherited his debts,
it's all become yours,
including Gami and the Recipe Book.
When I betrayed him,
I lost my right to get inherited.
He had a dream.
You don't know about it, do you?
He wanted Gami to continue...
to be loved by many people for many years.
He wanted his successors to cook with his recipe.
He wanted people and their next generations to visit again.
So he got really happy when you said...
you're going to learn cooking.
And...
about the Recipe Book...
He wanted me to have it...
because he knew my feelings for Young Ha.
I'm sure he suffered a lot.
He loved me like his own son.
But in the end,
he told me to leave.
He told me not to interfere you and Young Ha's happiness.
He tried to send me to the States because of you two.
So that is why he tried to give me that Recipe Book.
It's because he felt sorry.
He tried to send you to the States?
Yes.
No way. He wouldn't do that.
He trusted you a lot.
Your father...
did everything he could...
for your happiness.
He loved me like his own son.
But I became a burden to you.
Then he tried to send me away at once.
Were you looking for me, Mr. Kim?
Oh, yes. Take a seat.
How do you feel?
I'm good.
I feel so much better after I took a break, and thanks to your help.
What a relief.
Yong. I wanted to see you today because...
Why? Are you scared because I would talk about marriage?
It's not about that. Don't worry.
It's about work today.
Don't you want to work with me?
It isn't easy for me to offer you this...
when you are about to start a new job.
How about becoming Vice President of Green Construction?
Pardon?
I'm asking if you want...
to do business here by yourself.
How can I do that?
No. You're a perfect person for this.
I can't.
Why? Is my company too small?
Gosh, no.
Now that I'm sick, I can tell what will happen to this place.
I didn't want my company to grow big without any substances.
So I tried to do everything by myself.
But I overworked and fell ill.
In fact, I thought of many things when I was on a break.
I even thought of closing down.
But I put so much affection to this place.
You can't close down.
You can't do that, sir.
You worked so hard to make this company where it is now.
That's why this company is so well-structured now.
You can't close down.
I know.
So please help me, Yong.
I'm not young anymore.
I'm too old to work like how I used to.
But I can't give up on this company like what you just said.
I need young people here.
There's nothing more I'd ask for if you could help me.
What do you think?
It's quite empty here.
Guess whom I just met.
I don't know.
There was a senior from my college who goes to your company.
I had a cup of tea with him.
I asked him to take good care of you. I did a good job, didn't I?
Oh, I guess I didn't do a good job.
What? Were you going to tell him that you don't have a girlfriend?
Seo Hee asked me if I'd be okay because you could meet girls...
who are younger and prettier than me in your office.
What? Do I have to be worried already?
Sit down.
No. I'm too nervous to sit down.
Kim Kyung Ha.
I'm going to give up on that company.
What did you just say?
Did I hear that right?
There's something I must do.
Something you must do?
Mr. Kim...
wants me to look after his company.
Mr. Kim?
My dad?
I want to help him by his side.
I want to do that regardless of you.
Why do you ask then? Suit yourself.
Choi Yong.
Marry me.
You said you won't.
I said that only because I didn't want...
to insist on it...
when it makes your parents and my mom sad.
But the situation is different now.
I have a responsibility now,
and I made up my mind.
So I want you to make the decision.
You're going to regret.
Let's get married.
I want to be a family...
and help Mr. Kim.
Are you sure you won't regret?
If you say no now,
I'm going to regret.
- Gwang Jae. - Yes?
Why did you come? I was going to go.
You're dressed nicely.
- Sit down, Gwang Jae. - What?
What are you doing?
Marry me, Gwang Jae.
What?
A man should do this.
What does that matter?
When I love you.
I love you.
From the first moment I saw you and up to now.
I only love you, Gwang Jae.
Kim Young Ha.
I...
I'm an orphan.
I still have debts to pay off.
And you know that I don't have a university degree.
There's nothing I'm not aware of.
What's gotten into you suddenly?
Do you really want to see me...
getting beaten to death by your parents and grandma?
I don't want you...
to be alone in the world.
So,
let's have a son and a daughter...
become their parents.
So, don't be lonely, Gwang Jae.
I'm never going to make you feel lonely.
I love you.
You love me too,
right?
You fool.
Do I have to say it?
