The kids told me that my parents got divorced...
and that's why they're living apart.
Is that true?
They told me once people get divorced,
they can never live together.
And that's apparently why my mom isn't coming back.
Is that true?
Tae Woong, stop crying.
Let's go over there and sit down.
Tae Woong.
We figured you'll find out one day.
But now that you have, I'll tell you the truth.
Yes, your parents are divorced.
Why?
Even when two people are married,
they can always get divorced if they can't seem to get along.
And that's exactly why your parents broke up.
But nothing's changed for you.
You don't need to feel small just because they're divorced.
You have me, your grandma, your dad,
and everyone else beside you.
Yes, he's right. Don't ever cry...
just because people make fun of you. Don't cry, okay?
No! Why did they get divorced?
I hate my mom and dad! I hate everyone!
Tae Woong.
Tae Woong, can we talk?
I hate you, Dad.
Why did you get a divorce?
I want to live with Mom!
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Dad, can you please start living with Mom again?
Did you fight with her?
If you did, can't you just make up with her?
You'll come to understand us once you grow older.
No!
I want to live with Mom!
Tell her to come back from the US!
Tell her that you want to reconcile with her!
Grandma, can you call my mom?
Tell her to come back from the US.
Grandma, I miss my mom.
My goodness, sweetheart.
Tae Woong.
Your grandma and I were planning on taking you on a trip to Europe.
How about we have fun there?
No, I don't want to go.
Tae Woong, it'll be really nice.
There will be so many fun and interesting things to see.
Let's go and have fun.
No, I'm not going to go. I don't want to go anywhere.
My gosh, what are we going to do?
You're good.
What are we going to do?
Mother just called.
And apparently, Tae Woong's crying and throwing a fit...
because he found out that his parents got a divorce.
What? How did he find out?
He heard from his friends at school.
What should we do?
- What about Tae Woong? - He doesn't want to eat.
You should've still brought him downstairs.
He locked his door and won't come out.
Make sure he eats later.
Okay, sir.
- Hey, Tae Woong. - Jenny.
Why do you sound so low? Are you sick?
Jenny, my parents got divorced.
Did you know?
Yes.
I see. I guess I was the only one who didn't know.
Jenny.
Why did my parents get divorced?
My grandparents and my dad told me...
that they can't reconcile with my mom again.
Why is that?
Well, that's because your mom did something wrong.
So they won't be able to forgive her.
What did she do?
I can't tell you that.
You'll find out once you grow older.
Does that mean I can never live with my mom?
You'll be able to meet her once you become an adult.
Does that mean I won't get to meet her until then?
Grandma. Grandpa. Dad.
Did you get divorced because Mom did something wrong?
Is it because you can't forgive her?
Tae Woong, who told you that?
Dad, what did Mom do wrong?
I'll apologize instead.
Can you please forgive her?
- Tae Woong. - Tae Woong.
This isn't something you can throw a tantrum about.
Grandpa, are you also angry at her?
Grandpa, I beg of you.
Can you please forgive her?
Please, Grandpa.
Tae Woong, why are you being like this?
This won't do you any good.
Grandma, can you please forgive my mom?
Grandma, I love my mom the most in this entire world.
I miss my mom so much.
Can you please make her come back so that I can be happy again?
Come on, Grandma.
Get up.
You're a man. You shouldn't get on your knees so easily.
Gosh, my sweetheart.
Mom. Mom.
What's wrong?
I feel so bad for Tae Woong.
He found out that his parents got divorced.
He must've heard about it from the kids at school.
He was in tears as he called me.
He would've found out one day anyway.
Tae Woong, I'm sorry.
The kids said they're going to sign the contract for the house today.
- Do you think they did? - Of course.
We'll soon have to say goodbye to Yul.
Let's go.
- Yul. - Yul!
- Your grandma's here. - Hey, Dad.
Have you been well?
- Yul. - How adorable.
I'm here too.
- My gosh. - Hey, you guys.
- What were you doing? - Hey, Dad.
Dad, they both did a lot of household chores today.
Really?
I was cooking some food for breakfast tomorrow.
- I see. - You cooked? Why?
Because I'll be cooking breakfast from now on.
"From now on"?
I thought you guys were going to move out.
Mom, they didn't sign the contract yet.
Why not?
We found a lot of problems with that place prior to signing the contract.
The heating system doesn't work that well.
And there were blotches on the ceiling,
so I think the unit above that house has a water leak.
And it seems like there will be condensation during the winter.
You only saw it for a short moment. You can't know all that.
I thought the house was completely fine.
Is that why you didn't sign the contract?
I thought today was the big day.
Mi Hyun kept being really fussy,
so the owner got angry and refused to sign a contract with us.
Then I guess you'll have to look for another house.
Yes.
Try to look for a house that doesn't have so many problems.
Okay.
Mother. Father.
Can't we just continue living here?
- Why? - Why?
No, we already talked about this.
From now on, I'll take care of Yul as soon as I come home from work.
I even cancelled all my Pilates lessons.
I'm also going to stop going to the cultural center for lectures.
What? Why?
You'd rather give up on eating rather than give up on that.
No, I don't need to do any of that.
Plus, I'll naturally be able to exercise by taking care of Yul.
This is so weird.
Don't daughters-in-law normally want to move out?
What's wrong with her?
I'll also give you some money every month.
- Here. - No, we don't need this.
I just realized...
that I haven't been giving you enough money for living expenses.
I'm sorry.
From now on, I'll always pay you that much.
What's wrong with you?
We agreed to move out.
I just don't think I'll be able to handle everything if we move out.
I'll have to take care of Yul and do all the household chores.
And it won't be easy to keep my job either.
Instead, I'll do a better job from now on.
I think I've been giving you guys a hard time until now.
From now on, I'll come home early...
to watch Yul and help out with household chores.
I'll make sure not to wear you guys out.
So can you please let us live here for a couple more years?
No way. You're just going to go back to your old days, aren't you?
I won't allow it.
No, I won't go back.
And I'll sleep with Yul starting from today.
You guys can sleep comfortably from now on.
I guess there's not much we can do if you really don't want to leave.
Really?
Thank you.
Come here, Yul.
We'll go upstairs now.
- Yul. - What the...
Do you really think we can trust her?
I mean, I'm glad that I'll be able to see Yul all the time.
But I'm also kind of scared at the same time.
I don't know how it's going to be.
Let's just see how things go.
(Chairman, Shin Hyun Joon)
Happy birthday.
Thank you, honey.
You like jangjorim, don't you? Eat up.
Is your business going well?
Yes, we're getting a lot of orders.
Our pool of customers is getting bigger.
That's great.
You said the brand name is Tony and Jenny, right?
Is there anything I can help you with?
- No. - Should I model for your brand?
I'm a little famous.
I can help you out without getting paid.
No, don't help me.
Why not?
Wouldn't it help if I became your model?
It'll ruin your image.
Our relationship was the talk of the town.
It barely managed to calm down.
So there's no reason to start a controversy again.
I'll try to make it with my own abilities.
Really?
Okay, then.
Here.
- Mother. - Mom.
We came because we were worried about Tae Woong.
Don't even get me started. We're all worried about him.
Where is he?
He won't come out from his room after he came back from school.
He won't eat, and he won't talk.
Tae Woong.
- Aunt Ji Young. - Hey.
You must've been startled.
None of us could tell you...
because we all were worried that you'd get shocked like this.
I can only imagine how upset you must be right now.
Aunt Ji Young.
I heard my parents got divorced because my mom did something wrong.
Can you please tell everyone to forgive my mom?
No one will listen to me.
Can you and Uncle Sang Hyuk try to convince everyone?
Tae Woong.
You're in elementary school now.
So I'll be honest with you.
People don't get divorced over just one single fight or mistake.
People get divorced once their relationship becomes so bad...
that they can't seem to live with each other anymore.
Your dad isn't someone who would get divorced very easily.
And he thought about it for a long time because of you.
I know you resent him and can't seem to understand him right now.
But once you grow older,
you'll be able to understand why he made such a decision.
Then can you send me to the US?
I know my dad hates my mom,
but I don't.
I want to go to where she is.
Hey, Hyun Joon. I met Tae Woong earlier.
He's having a really hard time.
You'll have to pay more attention to him.
I really don't know what to do.
And there's no solution to this.
He'll give up once time goes by.
Anyway, thanks for worrying.
Bye.
- Come in. - Hyun Joon.
Hey, You Jin.
The weather's amazing. It's late autumn now.
It'll get cold soon.
How about we go get some coffee and step on some dead leaves?
We're enjoying autumn along with some coffee. It's nice.
- Don't you think so? - Yes, it's nice.
Your outfit matches the season.
You're wearing a trench coat and a scarf. You look great.
Thanks.
- Should we sit down? - Sure.
I met Tae Woong's mom two days ago.
What?
Why would you meet her?
Why? Am I not allowed to?
Why did you meet her?
It was natural for me to meet her. After all, we're dating right now.
Kyung Shin deserves to know.
You should've told me beforehand.
Well, I'm telling you right now.
I don't think I needed your permission to meet her.
It's not a matter of permission. You should've discussed it with me.
Why would you meet my ex-wife?
That's just a difference in thought.
It was necessary for us to meet...
to talk about Tae Woong anyway.
I told her that she can trust me with Tae Woong.
I told her that I'll take care of him.
By the way, she didn't seem to mind about Tae Woong finding out...
that his parents got divorced.
To be honest,
he found out.
Really?
That's good.
He's going through a hard time. He says he wants to live with his mom.
I see.
Can you still go to Busan with me on the weekend...
for the yacht party?
Oh, that.
Can I just not go to that party?
My family's all worried about Tae Woong.
What does that have anything to do with the party?
You can't always stick by Tae Woong's side.
- Yes, I know. But... - Let's just go.
Not only is it rude to cancel on them,
but it's also good for your kid to show...
that you can be cold-hearted.
He'll continue to throw tantrums if you keep putting up with them.
What are you talking about?
A parent should stay beside his or her child...
when they're going through a hard time.
Just because you do that won't undo the divorce.
Am I wrong?
You need to teach him how to overcome his problems on his own.
You're so cold-hearted.
How could you talk as if this has nothing to do with me?
How do you expect me to party when my kid's crying every day?
Parents should have their own lives.
That's not how it works for me. Tae Woong's my everything.
I can't go to that party.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Ji Young.
Do you know what day it is today?
What? What day is it?
I had also forgotten about it, but I just remembered.
It's your mom's birthday today.
What? It's today?
Yes, you're the only person that can cook seaweed soup for her.
So you should do that.
Also, have a great time with her.
Thanks to you, she won't be so lonely this year.
Yes, hello. You'd like to buy this product?
Okay, please wire us the payment.
We'll visit your place to collect all the other outfits.
Okay, thank you.
We're getting more and more customers.
This customer usually buys black clothes and knit wear.
Can you get me our new knit wear later...
so that I can show it to her?
Okay, I'll quickly go get it from the storage room.
Okay.
My princess. Princess Yul.
If you give me one rice cake, I won't eat you alive.
Father.
You're home already?
Yes, I'll take care of Yul.
You can go to the restaurant.
What's gotten into you?
I can't believe you came home so early.
I told you that I'll come home early from now on.
You can do what you need now.
Thank you.
Are you really not going to leave the house?
No.
- What about Pilates? - I quit.
I quit everything.
I'm going to come straight home once I'm done with work.
Se Young and I will take turns.
You deserve some freedom as well.
My gosh.
Really? Then...
I'm going to go to the restaurant.
- Wait. - Take care of Yul.
- Bye, Father. - Bye.
I'm home.
What's this?
Did you cook all this?
Why didn't you tell me that it's your birthday today?
How did you know?
Ji Young told me.
You should wash your hands. I cooked seaweed soup for you.
What are you doing? I worked hard to cook all this.
I don't deserve this from you.
Thank you.
You think of me as your daughter and care about me.
You protected me from getting blamed at by your ex-husband.
And you also worry that my image might get harmed.
That's nothing compared to all the horrible things I did to you.
I'll slowly repay you throughout life.
I never asked you to repay me.
Here.
- What is it? - You'll know once you open it.
I couldn't really think of what to get you.
Thank you.
I haven't gotten you anything.
I'll treat you better.
I'll work hard...
so that I can make up for all the hurtful things...
I did to you.
I'll be better so that next year or the year after that,
or maybe in the distant future,
you'll sincerely be able to treat me...
like your mom.
The seaweed soup is delicious.
Hey, Jenny.
What? What did you leave behind?
Your outfit for the shooting?
Okay, I'll go home and get it for you.
Where should I go?
- Let's get going. - Okay.
Is your outfit not ready yet?
No, but it's on its way from home.
We don't have time.
I'm sorry. I accidentally left it at home.
But it's on its way.
Why didn't your stylist bring it to the set?
I told her that I'll take it home since it belongs to me.
It was my mistake.
Let's just shoot with what you're wearing right now.
Standby.
You can't shoot the drama wearing this.
My gosh.
Excuse me.
Jenny, I brought your outfit.
Jenny! Your outfit.
Jenny! Jenny!
- Sir, can you give me a moment? - Why?
- My outfit's here. - Really? Then go get changed.
Okay.
Here you go. Did I bring the right one?
Thank you for bringing it for me,
Mom.
- What did she just say? - Did she say "Mom"?
My goodness, welcome.
- Hello. - Hello, welcome.
What brings you all the way here?
I heard Tae Woong's feeling a little down these days.
I'm thinking about going to Busan with Hyun Joon during the weekend.
And I want to take Tae Woong with us. Will that be okay?
That'd be absolutely fantastic.
We really wanted to make him feel better.
Tae Woong's upstairs. You should go see him.
- Okay. - Go on.
Hello, it's me.
Would you like to go to Busan with me and your dad?
We can go to the beach and ride a yacht.
No, I don't want to go.
Why not? I'd love to go with you.
- Let's go. - No, I'm not interested.
I want to become close with you.
Why?
Because I'm going to become your stepmother.
That's right. I'm not your dad's friend. I'm his girlfriend.
I'll become your mom once we get married.
So it'd be best for you to listen to me from now on.
Here. I hope we get along from now on.
Anyway, keep in mind that we're all going to Busan tomorrow.
I'll come pick you up. I'll see you tomorrow.
Really?
Yes, Tae Woong agreed to come along.
Does that make you feel better?
Let's go and cheer ourselves up.
We can enjoy the sea breeze and have some sashimi.
Okay, thank you.
(Seoul, Gimpo, Incheon, Seoul)
(Incheon International Airport, Samseong Station)
(I am also Mother)
What if something happens to him?
He left home just because he didn't want to go there?
What in the world are you guys doing?
He thinks running away from home...
can be used to his advantage because you baby him all the time.
I think we should let Tae Woong meet Kyung Shin.
- Where are you? - I'm going to go to the US.
