(Episode 61)
Your mother knew...
about the lawsuit between Ms. Choi Go Ya and her father.
How did she know that?
Ma'am.
I can't stand it anymore. You're like a bat.
I can't believe you.
Since I'm not favorable to you,
are you on Ji Seok's grandma's side now?
- It's not like that. - Cut it out.
You're scary.
What's your secret?
How did you win my mother-in-law's heart?
Tell me.
I'd like to learn.
I came here to see you.
I wanted to do my best to win your heart.
You seem to love doing your best.
Do you think you can change your background by doing your best?
Your parents,
sick brother, financial situation, and educational background!
Can you change them by doing your best?
Don't try.
Nothing is going to change.
Go Ya.
Ji Seok.
Tell me what's going on?
- Ji Seok. - Go Ya.
Fine. Now that we're all here, I can explain.
- Come in. - I'll hear it from Go Ya first.
- Ji Seok. - I will talk to...
Go Ya first.
Let's go.
Ji Seok. Ji Seok...
Ji Seok.
This is all because of that brat.
Go inside.
Why won't you ask me anything?
You said you wanted to talk to me first.
You should ask, "What's going on?"
"What happened," or "what's the story here?"
Why won't you ask?
I thought about what I should ask you,
but no matter what I asked, I figured I would hurt you.
I'll apologize instead of asking questions.
I'm sorry.
Then I'll ask you for a favor instead of giving you answers.
I contemplated for a long time before I held your hands.
But now that I decided to hold your hands,
I am not giving up no matter what I'm faced with.
I'm going to fix this.
But to do that, you can't take my side or your mom's.
I can't let you suffer all alone.
If you take the side of either one of us,
we'll never be able to get along.
You'll make me suffer even more if you do that.
You probably know this well because you studied law.
I saw it in your office too. The statue with a scale.
I'm on one side of that scale,
and your mother is on the other.
Please keep us in balance.
You're good at that.
Do that for me, will you?
Okay.
I'll do anything you'd like me to do.
How could you leave me there and go with her?
I couldn't let her get hurt anymore.
What about me?
Didn't you think about how much I would be hurt...
while she's badmouthed me behind my back?
She did not badmouth you.
Stop lying.
Do you think I wouldn't know...
that she told you how much I dreaded her?
What makes you dread her so much?
What's not to be dreadful of?
She's not that great herself,
but her family is even worse than she is.
What's so bad about her family?
Don't even get me started.
She and her dad filed a lawsuit against each other.
She's from the worst family.
That's it? Is that why you dreaded her so much?
What do you mean, "That's it"?
You were her lawyer.
Aren't you terrified of her?
Weren't you terrified to see how she filed a suit against her dad...
just because she wanted petty cash?
I know why she had to do that.
You wouldn't be able to say that if you knew why she did that.
You should've at least asked for a reason.
What?
Are you taking her side?
I can't do that.
I just promised her.
She asked me...
not to take any sides.
She said she wanted to fix things with you herself.
That's why I'm trying my best to be neutral.
She doesn't want you to take any sides?
See?
She's already trying to come between us.
No. She was being considerate of you...
because she knew that I would end up taking her side.
Min Ji Seok.
I'll try hard to understand why you do not like her.
So please do your part and try to understand...
why I like her.
Let's try hard.
Trying hard won't change anything!
It can change the future.
It might not change anyone's past,
but it can change my future which I dream of sharing with her.
Let's see if that will ever happen.
If anything, I can't take her in as my daughter-in-law for your sake.
If you end up marrying her,
you'll ruin your life as she drags you down to her level.
Do you think I'll sit around and watch you do that?
No. Never.
What?
A future he dreams of sharing with her?
It's been ages since she went to take a shower.
"Mother"?
Is this that lawyer's mother?
Goodness.
Hello?
Who's this?
Yes, this is Go Ya's phone.
Right, hello.
I'm Go Ya's mom.
I see.
She's in the bathroom right now, so I picked up on her behalf.
I heard that she's been dating your son,
so I've been wanting to see you.
Is that so?
Do you have some time tomorrow?
I can meet you whenever you can.
Okay. Let's meet tomorrow.
I'll tell you the time and place. Leave me your number.
Fine, then.
There's no talking to you, Go Ya.
I'll meet your mom and put an end to this.
Your dad filed a lawsuit against you,
and you filed a counter-lawsuit against him.
I'm scared to be involved with someone who was raised...
by such a dad.
Do you get it now?
That's the decisive reason why I do not approve of you.
I really hope...
your dad and Oh Na Ra can stop dragging you down.
Yes. I can't let them drag me down again.
Wait and see.
I won't back down just because of you two.
This is the first draft of Ms. Lee's preparatory documents.
Thank you.
Right.
How did your mom find out about Ms. Choi's counter-suit?
I didn't ask.
Nothing will change between us just because she knows that.
I see. I'm relieved to know that your heart is set on this.
I also thought that Ms. Choi is really great after that day.
When did you see her?
Two days ago, we put up some stars together.
Stars? What stars?
Oh, it's nothing.
Yes?
- Hello. - Hi, please come in.
- Thank you. - What brings you here?
I was just in the area and wanted to see you for a second.
- I'll let you two talk then. - Thank you.
Have you been well?
No. Not at all.
I was disappointed because my nephew...
forgot about his aunt ever since he started dating.
That's not true. I've just been so busy.
I know. I was only joking.
Oh, right. I stopped by your office a couple of days ago.
I heard you were working late, so I came to bring you some food.
When?
Did you just knock on the door and left? Was that you?
What?
Did... Did I do that?
I was wondering who that was.
But why did you leave without saying hi?
- Well, you know... - Did you come...
with your new husband?
Did you see him?
I saw him in the lobby when I was leaving the building.
I didn't say hello since we don't have an amicable relationship.
Okay.
That's why I just left when I came to see you that day.
I got the feeling that you didn't want to see him.
To be honest, I don't want to see him. I don't like him.
Okay. Next time, I'll come by myself.
Okay.
Right. That day, I was with my girlfriend in my office.
Really?
What a bummer. I could've met her then.
- I know. - Hey, you told me that...
you were buying your girlfriend a ring. Did you give it to her?
Of course. I proposed to her too.
My goodness. I don't know who she is, but she's one lucky girl.
A handsome man like you gave her a ring and proposed to her.
But did your mother meet her too?
Yes, she came to my house too.
I see.
Oh, my. Hearing that she even met your family...
makes me think you'll be handing out wedding invitations soon.
I'm not sure. I don't know when it will be,
but I'm certain that she's the one even if the sky splits open.
Okay. If you're that sure, you can marry her.
Even if your mother...
disapproves of the marriage, don't give in.
It's not your mother's life. It's yours. Promise?
I knew it. I knew you'd be supportive.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, but I have to be somewhere.
- Do you have a meeting? - I want to go see her.
Really? My gosh, can I tag along? I can meet her then.
My gosh, no. I didn't mean that.
I already feel guilty about meeting you behind your mother's back.
I can't meet your girlfriend behind her back.
I'm sorry. I'll be the only one seeing you behind my mom's back.
I don't want Mom to take it out on her.
I understand.
Hello, I'm Choi Go Ya from the Development Team.
I'll take some photos of the store regarding the display.
Fancy meeting you here. How did you know I was here?
Wait, are you keeping an eye on me?
Why don't we say I'm interested in you?
I'd like to have lunch with you.
What would you like to eat?
Don't say you don't have a preference.
- Something spicy. - "Something spicy"?
Something so spicy that will get rid of all my stress.
- No, scratch that. - Why?
I think I just found a better way than spicy food to relieve stress.
- What is that? - This.
You know, I'm really good at this.
Wait right here. I'll go get one for you on my first try.
Wait, no.
(Expert of Crane Machines)
She shouldn't play that.
(Expert of Crane Machines)
I think I can get this one.
What was that?
Why can't I get this?
This is so weird. What's up with me today?
- Okay. Let me refocus. - Hey.
I usually win this on my first try.
Seriously. This is so weird. Why can't I win one today?
Well, I think it will probably continue to stay that way.
What do you mean? You saw how good I was last time.
I won that doll on my first try when I'd never played it before.
It's because I asked the owner to help.
Come again? Help?
He helped you win it on your first try.
What?
So you're saying that the owner rigged the game?
Yes.
You bought off the owner?
Yes.
I had no idea. I really thought I was a natural.
This is embarrassing. You're a con man.
How about a romantic instead of a con man?
Think about how desperate I was to do that...
just to make you smile.
Whatever.
Wait for me. Let's go get something spicy.
It's my treat!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Right.
I'm going to visit your mother and tell her everything.
Tell her what?
I'll tell her why I had to file a lawsuit against my father.
I'll tell her everything about why I had to do that.
Then let's do that together. I'll go with you.
No, I'd like to do this alone. Let me do this alone.
Okay.
- Don't worry. - I only worry about one thing.
I only worry that you might give up on us.
That will never happen.
I'm sorry for making you open old wounds.
I'm sorry...
that I come with baggage.
(Jang Ok Ja's Cooking Class)
Where did that go?
What is it? What are you looking for?
I'm looking for sweet potato stem kimchi.
Go Ya made it yesterday to give it to you.
Did you not get that?
I threw it out.
Now, it all makes sense.
I understand why Ji Seok stayed up all night in the living room.
Mother, you don't know...
how appalling she is.
You probably don't. That's why you gave her that necklace.
It really piques my curiosity.
I wonder how that girl won you over to her side.
Why don't you give her a chance and keep an eye on her?
Then you will end up liking her too.
It's not that I don't understand you.
However, if you keep this up, Ji Seok will suffer the most.
So quit it while it's not too late.
I'll overlook your behaviors so far.
I'm home.
Mom.
Spit it out. Don't beat around the bush.
It's about Ji Seok's girlfriend.
If you disapprove of her, I want to tell you that you shouldn't.
Are you in on it too?
Mother, Ji Seok, and now, you?
Did all three of you come up with a plan to change my mind?
No, we didn't.
I just don't want Ji Seok and you to get hurt.
You said so yourself.
You said Ji Seok's decision is yours,
and his happiness is your happiness.
You said you would accept anyone if Ji Seok loved her.
I only said that because I thought it was Lee Jeong Hwa.
I never imagined that it would be someone like her.
It's as if my disapproval of her isn't enough,
she even countersued her own father.
Are you saying that you are really going to disapprove of her?
- Isn't that obvious? - Don't be like this.
Why don't you let Ji Seok do what he wants this time?
Say that I do. What if he ends up like you?
I let you do what you wanted, and now, look at you.
I'm sure it will end differently for Ji Seok.
He will protect his love until the end.
Let's see if he can.
I'm going out. I have plans.
- Where are you going? - Let me pass.
Whom is she meeting?
I have a bad feeling about this.
My gosh, why are you packing side dishes? Whom are they for?
I'm meeting Ji Seok's mother.
Really? Does Go Ya know?
I didn't tell her.
I'm just going to drop these side dishes.
Go Ya was treated to a great meal there,
so I couldn't just sit around.
Goodness, you made it sound like you didn't want to give her away.
Yes, I'm glad you're doing this.
Don't you think this is too trivial?
No, it's not.
Go Ya's future husband said that their family loved your side dishes.
"Future husband"?
Why? The two moms are already meeting up.
You might set on a wedding date today.
You should just let her get married in spring.
You don't need to wait until autumn.
You're way ahead again.
Anyway, why are you here?
Oh, I need some cash.
Take it. But why?
I have an interview with a part-timer for my shop.
I wanted to give him some cash for the trip.
I'll pay you back.
You're here early.
You must be here for the interview.
Aren't you here for the interview?
Tae Ran.
- Tae Pyung. - Yes.
It's your brother, Tae Ran.
Is that really you?
Yes. It's me, your brother. Choi Tae Pyung.
It's you.
If it's you, you deserve a beating.
You jerk. How dare you come here?
How dare you come here with your head held up high?
- Do you call yourself a human? - That hurts.
Does that hurt?
Did it hurt you when you slapped Go Ya?
My goodness. If you can't help out your kid,
the least you can do is not ruin it.
I'm not the only one to blame. She was wrong too.
Are you still saying that?
My goodness. Let's see.
Get out. Get out of here.
- If you don't, I'm pouring this. - Hey, wait.
That's broth, isn't it? What's with you?
- Get out of here. - My gosh.
You have a horrible temper.
My goodness. Unbelievable.
- Hey, this is bad. - Why?
- It's Yang Sook. - Oh, no.
What should I do?
If she sees me, I'm as good as dead.
Come here. Come.
Hide down here.
- There's a fridge here. - Get in there.
Fold yourself in half. Get in there.
- What is it? - I'm leaving now.
Okay, then. Go on.
Are you hot right now?
Why are you sweating?
I don't know. Why is it so hot now?
- Aren't you leaving? - I am.
What was that?
I must be catching a cold.
Why is it so cold?
You said you were hot just now. Are you cold now?
You're right. What's with me?
You must be getting old too. You should get a part-timer soon.
It's too hard for you to run this place alone.
- Bye. - Okay.
That was close.
Tae Pyung.
Come out. Come.
My goodness.
Come out here.
- Are you okay? - I almost froze to death.
I think I just saw...
my past life.
My goodness, I forgot to take the side dishes.
Yang Sook.
Oh, no. I just closed.
I'm not here to get side dishes.
I came to give you this.
I got you hand cream.
Apply them often so that your hands don't get dry.
- Goodness. You didn't have to. - It's nothing much.
You always give me side dishes and stuff.
Anyway, I can't believe my nephew and your daughter are dating.
It's a wonder.
If you think about it, the world is very small.
It is.
Anyway, are you headed out?
I am meeting up with Mr. Min's mom today.
Where at?
At the coffee shop which is run by my daughter's company.
Then I'll go with you. I'll give you a ride.
It's okay.
Come on, let's go. You have some stuff too.
- Let's go. - It's really okay.
You should take it slow.
Don't worry.
I won't bite you today.
Anyway, what do you have to say to me?
I want to apologize.
- Pardon? - It's what you said to me...
at the gym before.
You said I'm too shallow...
and that I won't apologize with my heart.
Well, I just said that because I was too angry.
No, you're right.
I'm rather shallow. And a bit thoughtless too.
I wasn't trying to criticize you.
But this is my first time...
apologizing to someone.
I know that I make mistakes,
but it's too embarrassing to say that I'm sorry.
It's not embarrassing to tell someone you're sorry.
It means you are courageous.
So I'd like to be courageous.
I'm sorry...
for treating you disrespectfully.
And for biting you.
What's with her today? She's scary.
Welcome.
Wait, she seems familiar.
Hey, who do you think you are?
How dare you do this to my sister's face?
She's the woman who had rags for her jacket.
If she runs into my aunt, they'll make a huge scene.
Yes.
Hello, I'm Go Ya's mom.
I got lost looking for a bathroom. I'm sorry that I'm late.
Where are...
Oh, I just saw you.
Why is she going that way?
Hello...
Why are you sitting here?
No, why are you here?
Wait.
Are you Mr. Min's mom?
What? How do you know my son?
Wait.
Are you Choi Go Ya's mom?
This is unbelievable.
One second.
Let's talk before we leave.
Fine.
Right, I did come out to tell you something.
You can go first.
I'm sorry.
What?
I'm a bit short-tempered.
I know I just have to think one more time, but it's hard for me.
I'm sorry for everything.
I had no idea I'd ever run into you again.
But it's not like...
we can go back in time.
It's belated, but let's get along starting now.
We can't allow this to affect our kids.
We somehow got involved as a family, so...
Family, my foot.
- Pardon? - Who said...
that we'll become a family?
- What do you mean? - I have...
no intention of taking your daughter in as my daughter-in-law.
Is this because of me?
I don't like you,
but I hate your daughter even more.
All of a sudden?
Go Ya said...
that she was treated well when she was at your house.
Was that all she said?
I presume that she didn't tell you...
that I won't accept her as my daughter-in-law...
because I find her appalling.
- Pardon? - I made myself clear to her.
I told her that I don't have the slightest intention...
of bringing someone who sues her own father into my family.
Who knows?
She might get used to that and sue Ji Seok and me later...
to extort money from us.
- Look. - This is why...
you must know your place before you make your decisions.
How dare such lowlifes attempt to have anything to do with my family?
I get it. Children are reflections of their parents.
Now, I understand...
why Choi Go Ya was rude and obstinate.
I'll assume that you have understood my sentiment.
Make it your priority...
to stop your daughter from dating my son.
If you don't comply,
I will make sure she will be humiliated to keep her face up.
My goodness.
Yes, Mother.
Actually, I was going to visit you after work.
Hey!
How dare you get your mother involved now?
- Mother. - Why?
If your mother persuades me in the afternoon and you in the evening,
did you think I would let you persuade me?
What do you mean?
Did you meet my mom?
Your mother suggested that we meet.
She wanted me to be supportive of you.
Hello, Mother. How have you been?
Hey! What's the matter with you?
Mother.
(Forever Enemies)
- I have something to tell you. - How could you say that to me?
I can't let you live a life full of love.
She won't be able to handle it. Do you know who Ms. Choi's mom is?
Unless you want to lose your family...
Mother, I know I'm asking a lot, but please open the door.
Should I find out the guy she's dating?
If it weren't for our history...
Out of all people, my son...
Do you know how miserable I am?
When I date a guy, it doesn't last longer than a month.
- What? - I'll move out for the time being.
