(Episode 122)
We were both emotional yesterday, and it could've let to a fight.
That's why I just went home.
Did you come to a reasonable conclusion?
I'm sorry.
But I had already thought a lot about it before telling you,
so nothing has changed for me.
We should let Tae Woong meet his mom.
If you show him your generosity,
I'm sure he'll come to like you more.
You and I really do think differently.
You Jin.
So I came up with a solution.
And it's a solution that will satisfy everyone.
What's that?
Let's send Tae Woong to his mom.
We should let him live with his mom from now on.
What?
Are you being serious right now?
Yes, he misses his mom.
If we let him meet her like you insist,
then they'll become closer with each other.
And that will only make him fall apart with me.
He'll never be happy with me regardless of how much I try.
So we should just let him live with his mom instead.
And he can meet us every once in a while.
I can't do that. That's complete nonsense.
Why not?
It's a lot better for him emotionally to live with his mom.
We can help Kyung Shin raise him in a good environment...
by getting her a house and supporting her financially.
Doesn't that sound a lot more reasonable and efficient?
Tae Woong's the eldest grandson of our family,
and he's my heir.
He can't leave our family. That's absurd.
My parents and I won't be able to accept that.
Plus, his relationship with his grandparents is just as important...
as his relationship with his parents.
Weren't we going to get a separate place?
He won't be living with them once we move out,
so let's just let him live with his mom.
We need to enjoy our honeymoon phase.
It doesn't matter whether we move out or not.
I'm still not going to send him to his mom.
I'm going to raise him.
Okay, fine. Then let's send him abroad to study...
in the US.
What?
Hyun Joon, we're going to be newlyweds soon.
If I keep clashing with Tae Woong,
then the honeymoon phase will quickly fade away.
And if he goes to the US, he'll be able to learn English...
and make foreign friends. It will be great for him.
It'd be better if Kyung Shin went with him.
Why would I send an eight-year-old abroad to study?
There's no reason for me to do that, and I don't want to either.
Then what do you want me to do?
I'm sorry, but both your solutions aren't acceptable to me.
I'm going to raise Tae Woong,
and I'm going to let him meet his mom regularly.
Then don't let him meet her at all.
What?
You keep rejecting all my ideas, but then what about me?
Do you not care about me at all?
You decided to marry me,
but you're always putting Tae Woong first.
Are you marrying me because of Tae Woong?
I'm officially going to become his mother soon.
So you should be thinking of our relationship as a family.
But why do you keep prioritizing Tae Woong and Kyung Shin?
She's an ex-convict that has so many problems.
I can't accept that I'm being treated less importantly than her.
She's his mom. Don't talk about her that way.
What?
You're treating me like I don't matter right now,
and you're telling me not to disrespect your ex-wife?
I'm not sure if you really want to marry me or not.
Then let's just forget about it.
Hey, Sang Hyuk.
Hyun Joon, I heard you fixed a wedding date.
Congratulations.
I don't think that's going to happen.
What? What do you mean?
It's complicated. I'll call you later.
What's wrong?
(Ms. Jang You Jin)
Hello, Ms. Jang.
I called because I really can't understand.
Is this seriously worth getting angry over?
What happened?
What? Tae Woong?
I don't think that would be easy for Hyun Joon to accept.
Plus, my in-laws won't allow that either.
We don't need their permission.
Hyun Joon's the one that has custody and parental rights.
If he wants to send his kid to live with his mom, then that's that.
Well, you have a point.
Don't mothers usually raise the kid when two people get a divorce?
All Hyun Joon needs to do is give Kyung Shin money for child support.
He doesn't want to send Tae Woong to his mom,
and he doesn't want to send him abroad to study either.
What does he want me to do?
Why does he even want to marry me if he's going to be so unilateral?
What's the matter?
What? Did she just hang up?
It got cut off.
I think she drank a little.
What?
Do you think they'll be able to get married?
Jenny, can you send this letter to my mom...
if you know her phone number?
Mom, I saw you at the airport.
You're in Korea, aren't you?
Tae Woong wanted me to send you this.
I'm all better now.
It doesn't hurt at all.
Mom.
I don't know what happened between you and Dad.
But I love you guys more than anybody in this world.
I can't wait to grow up so that I can see you.
Please wait for me until then.
Tae Woong.
Tae Woong, I'm home.
Tae Woong, will you come outside?
Tae Woong, why didn't you answer me when I called you?
Are you angry with me?
If you are, why don't you talk to me about it? I'll hear you out.
You're going to marry that woman, aren't you?
Then you should go live with her separately.
I'll stay here and live with Grandma and Grandpa.
- Hey, Mom. - Hello, everyone.
- Jenny! - My goodness!
Jenny, it's been so long.
My gosh, what brings you here?
Goodness, you should come more often.
We came together after her shoot.
I'm sorry for not visiting more often.
- So you're living with your mom? - Yes.
It's nice, isn't it?
She's very nice to me.
She cooks her a lot of delicious food and takes good care of her.
I'm so happy for you, Jenny.
I'm so happy that you reconciled with your mom.
You have a very big heart.
It wouldn't have been easy for you...
to forgive her and decide to live with her.
- You're very kind. - He's right.
You're very generous.
I wouldn't have been able to do what you did.
Her mom has become really nice.
She's right. She's no longer like how she used to be.
She regrets all the bad things she did in the past.
She wanted me to tell you...
that she's really sorry and thankful to you guys.
My gosh, we didn't do anything much.
You should bring her here some time so that we can eat with her.
Yes, tell her to come. She doesn't need to feel pressured.
Okay.
I heard she really misses her son.
Yes.
Tae Woong really misses her as well.
We're constantly telling Sang Hyuk and Ji Young...
to try and convince Tae Woong's dad.
I'm sure it'll all work out.
Bring out some meat so that we can feed Jenny.
- Okay. - Yes, you should sit down.
- Jenny, sit down. - Sit down.
- Take a seat. - There.
Let's go, Soo Ji.
What do you say we call our husbands and have dinner together?
That would be really nice. Don't you think so?
Yes, you're right. Let's go to a family restaurant...
and have Soo Ji's favorite food.
It'll just be the five of us.
Gosh, that sounds great.
Once we're done, let's leave her with her grandpas...
- and go get a massage. - My goodness.
That sounds great.
Should we go to a karaoke room at night?
Yes, that sound perfect.
It's a good idea.
Let's go.
Let's go. Come on, Soo Ji.
You're such a good girl.
Bye, you guys.
Bye, Mom. Goodbye, Mother.
They don't care about us at all.
I guess this is what it feels like to be neglected.
It was as if we were invisible to them.
I don't mind.
We're finally having some alone time.
Come on. Get on my back. Let's go inside.
There.
Let's go.
It's so delicious.
Really?
I put a lot of grilled back ribs in this kimchi stew.
The broth tastes great, doesn't it?
Yes, it does.
I guess this is what you call happiness.
Our parents are looking after our kid, and I'm having...
a nice pot of kimchi stew with my husband inside our warm house.
I'm really happy as well.
Every single day is so much fun.
Thank you.
I'm the one that should thank you. These days, I keep thinking...
that you're the reason why I'm so happy...
and that I would've been really lonely...
if I ended up living alone.
I wouldn't have known that I could be happy like this.
I would've still loathed marriage and lived a lonely life.
Just the thought of it alone is enough to give me the chills.
Me too.
So I've been thinking...
about creating a gathering or a child delivery service...
for single mothers at my hospital.
Child delivery service for single mothers?
Yes. Imagine how lonely it would be for them.
We can provide them with useful information...
and help them safely give childbirth on their own.
And we can also help those that are having financial trouble.
I'm so proud of you, Hye Rim.
This is a huge compliment.
How did you come up with that idea?
Because I went through it myself.
You feel helpless and scared.
Even I felt that way.
No one would know how that feels unless they've been put...
in a single mother's shoes.
I think it's a great idea.
I'll see if there are things I can help you out with.
You really are a great husband.
- Eat up. - Okay.
Here.
It's so delicious.
It's so addictive.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
I don't know.
I suddenly feel sick.
I wonder what's wrong.
Does it smell a little?
It tastes delicious.
I wonder what's wrong with me.
(Chairman, Shin Hyun Joon)
- Hey, Hyun Joon. - Can we meet?
It seems like you have something to say to me.
I'm sorry I got so angry at you last time.
I think I was too worked up.
I was no different. It's okay.
I'm about to tell you something that's very difficult for me to say.
Both you and I already got divorced once.
So we should be more cautious and thoughtful about getting married.
Are you breaking up with me?
I'm sorry.
It's not because of you.
It's only because we had too many issues of conflict.
There weren't too many. It was always just about Tae Woong.
Getting remarried is hard even when there aren't any conflicts.
I don't think it's going to be easy for us.
I agree.
I also didn't know things would be so complicated.
It's true that I was confused and stressed.
Everything would be solved if you had an open mind.
It's a pity that you have such a conservative and outdated mindset.
- I'm sorry. - There's nothing we can do.
People's mindsets don't change overnight.
I tend to push through if there's a chance of winning.
But I think I should stop here.
I feel like I'll lose more than I'll gain.
We'll only end up hurting each other.
You're a great woman.
It was nice meeting you, and I had fun.
That's such a typical thing you'd say.
I enjoyed my time with you, and I hope you stay happy.
The next time we meet, it'll be for business.
Okay, I hope you also stay well.
Do you know how to send texts now? It's not hard, is it?
No, it's not hard at all.
- Let me send you something. - Okay.
"Hey, Eun Ja"?
(Hey, Eun Ja.)
What, honey?
"What, honey"?
(What, honey?)
Should we go for a walk?
(Should we go for a walk?)
(Im Eun Ja)
Isn't this so much fun?
We should text a lot from now on.
Can you buy me an emoji?
Where can I get these emojis?
My gosh.
- I'm home. - Hey.
Come here.
I have something to tell you guys.
What is it?
I broke up with You Jin.
- What? - What?
- Why? - Why?
We didn't get along very well, so we broke up.
What do you mean?
You said you'll get married because you got along well.
I met up with her today and ended things with her.
It's over between us, so please keep that in mind.
Mother, well...
You guys know, don't you? Why did they break up?
What?
- What happened? - Okay.
This is unbelievable.
They've been having conflicts about Tae Woong.
And You Jin told Hyun Joon to send Tae Woong to his mom.
What?
She has no right to send my grandson to her.
Exactly.
She must've lost her mind because we treated her too nicely.
How could she say such a thing?
I guess she won't do.
Exactly.
She probably just wanted to be alone with Hyun Joon...
by sending Tae Woong somewhere far away.
If Hyun Joon actually married her, Tae Woong...
would've ended up getting mistreated by his stepmom.
My goodness.
I get the chills the more I think about it.
I'm sad about the news,
but I'm sure you had a good reason behind making that decision.
- Are you okay? - I actually feel relieved.
Seeing Tae Woong go through a hard time was pressuring for me.
And it's not like I was that desperate about You Jin either.
I think I was rushing into getting married because of Tae Woong.
We also thought you and Ms. Jang would be a good match.
But things change...
once you start getting to know someone on a personal level.
If you feel relieved, it means you made the right choice.
Yes, thank you.
By the way,
I'm going to let Tae Woong...
meet his mom.
Really?
You and Ji Young are right.
She may be a horrible person,
but I'm sure she's still a good mother to Tae Woong.
Hyun Joon, Kyung Shin's changed a lot.
I recently met her and told her that I'll help her brand...
enter Lotieler Department Store.
But she refused my offer saying she wishes to enter...
once her brand becomes more popular.
I could sense that she was being sincere.
Judging from everything I hear from Jenny and Ji Young,
Kyung Shin...
really seems to regret what she did in the past...
and has turned into a whole new person.
I think it'll be okay to let her meet Tae Woong.
You're going to let him meet his mom?
You can't do that.
- Dad. - I said, "No".
We can't forgive her.
I'm not asking you to forgive her.
I know she made mistakes, but she's still his mom.
I don't want to hurt Tae Woong anymore.
He should learn to overcome something like this.
Do you really think that cunning wench will leave him alone?
I'm sure she'll try to come up with a new plan.
I'm sorry. I don't care if you guys don't give me your permission.
I'm his dad.
What if she suddenly starts wanting to be with you again?
Mom. Dad. Hyun Joon's right.
Kyung Shin may have done some horrible things,
but she's still Tae Woong's mom.
And no one can take a kid away from his or her mother.
Have you forgotten what she's done to us?
You, Ji Young, and your dad...
She did unimaginable things to harass our family.
A bad seed like her doesn't deserve to be a mother.
Mother, let's just think about Tae Woong.
Tae Woong's hurting right now.
He's a little kid that needs to be loved by his mom.
We know that.
But we're being like this because we care about his education.
How would he feel once he finds out that his mom once went to jail...
and did some horrible things?
He'll be so shocked.
He'll still love his mom even if he finds out that she's been to jail.
Emotions overrule logic in a parent-child relationship.
I don't care.
I'm not going to let my grandson meet that tenacious wench.
I've already made up my mind, so please respect my decision.
Tae Woong.
Tae Woong, can we talk?
I don't want to talk to you.
You don't even listen to me.
Tae Woong, I broke up with that lady.
I'm not going to marry her.
It's true.
We agreed to just stay friends.
Really? Does that mean you're going to be on good terms with Mom?
We won't be married like we used to be.
But I'll let you meet your mom.
Dad.
To be honest, your mom isn't in the US. She's in Korea.
I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you.
He's right.
He's going to let you meet your mom now.
He already told your grandparents about it.
Dad, thank you.
Are things going well with your business?
How's Tae Woong doing?
He's doing well. He's all better now.
That's a relief.
Why didn't you file a lawsuit?
You would've been able to...
win visitation rights by winning in court.
But why didn't you do anything?
Because that's also a fight.
I don't want to fight with you.
You already said "no" when I asked, so what can I do?
You've changed a lot.
Someone died because of me.
That made me come to my senses.
I asked myself what I was doing.
At that point,
I realized that I had come way too far,
and I started...
to want to turn back time.
Jenny came to see me.
She asked me to let you and Tae Woong meet each other.
She begged on her knees.
She said she doesn't want Tae Woong...
to suffer like she did by growing up without a mom.
Jenny said that?
Yes. Sang Hyuk, Ji Young,
and Hye Rim also kept asking me to change my mind.
They told me to put Tae Woong first.
I told my parents that I'm going to let you meet Tae Woong.
Hyun Joon.
Regardless,
you're still his mom.
You love him, and that's a fact.
You can meet him twice a month.
I'll take him to you on Saturday night...
and come pick him up at around 5pm the next day.
Thank you.
My parents are really worried.
I'm sure you already know what they're worried about.
Please make sure nothing of that sort ever happens.
I'll see you on Saturday.
I'm so happy for you, Tae Woong!
I'm so relieved.
Okay.
Yes. Mom lives with me.
You'll get to see me as well.
Bye.
Mom, I just got a call from Tae Woong.
Your ex-husband agreed to let him meet you.
Yes.
And I heard he broke up with that lady.
That's what he told Tae Woong.
Tae Woong was really happy when he told me the news.
Tae Woong apparently never really liked that lady.
Jenny.
Did you get on your knees in front of Hyun Joon for me?
I put you through so much.
It's all in the past.
Thank you...
for loving such a foolish and shameful mother.
I love you.
Let me see.
You look amazing.
- Hey. - Hey.
Tae Woong, you look really handsome.
Aunt Ji Young bought me this outfit.
It looks nice.
Thank you, Ji Young.
Don't mention it.
He's seeing his mom today, so he should wear something nice.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- See you. - See you.
- Let's go, Dad. - Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
Why are you sighing? Can't you see how happy he is?
You said you also cried...
because you missed me back when I got kicked out.
Hello.
- Tae Woong. - Mom.
Tae Woong.
Mom. My mom.
Thank you for coming,
my son.
(I am also Mother)
Do you also call her "Mom"?
What if he says he wants to live with his mom?
That can't happen.
- Then just let him live with her. - What?
Just trust me. I'll protect you, Mom.
Why do I feel so sick these days? Do you think I have an illness?
Can't I just live with my mom?
Don't you dare ask for more. This is as far as you can get.
