[ Episode 53 ] Why did you come back when you're so busy?
I wanted to see you, Grandma.
I also wanted to say thank you.
Thank you.
For letting me find my dad.
Yes, yes.
Even if I didn't tell you,
I'm sure you would've met him someday.
You're destined.
But Do Ran...
Don't ever...
show it before your dad brings it up first.
Okay.
Not even to your husband nor my Yoo Jin...
You can never tell anyone. Do you understand?
Don't worry.
- I won't tell anyone. - Aigoo, okay.
Now that I told you about your dad,
I think I can get my surgery with some peace.
Even if I die, I won't feel bad toward you.
Grandma, why are you saying that?
Your surgery will be successful.
You'll be healthy again.
I hope so.
When I think of my Yoo Jin...
I should overcome this.
I got it.
But Grandma...
The reason...
my dad is hiding the fact that he's my dad...
Do you know why?
Well...
Do Ran...
As for that...
Do Ran.
Finding your dad is enough. What's the point in finding that out?
Your dad probably has a reason...
he can't tell you about. Don't you think?
Apart from everything, he had to abandon you as an infant.
How could he bear to step forward as your dad?
So, don't try to find out
about the painful past.
How else...
How else could such a kind man bear to abandon you?
Mr. Kang...
Do... Do Ran's dad!
How... how did you come here?
Ahjumma.
Why did you meet my Do Ran?
Since when? And what did you say when you met her?
How much did you tell her about me?
Do Ran's dad...
Well...
Ahjumma.
Why did you tell her? Why?
You promised to keep this a secret forever.
But how can you tell Do Ran like this?
I will...
go in for a stomach cancer surgery tomorrow.
If I die in the middle of the surgery,
I thought I might regret it.
That's why I told her.
Ahjumma.
You're getting a surgery?
Yeah.
I was going to take this to my grave.
But my granddaughter and Do Ran are friends.
So, when I went to Do Ran's wedding,
I saw you there.
Do you know how shocked I was?
How could you be so close to your daughter, yet you're the only one who knows?
Don't you feel sorry for Do Ran who doesn't know who her dad is?
Ahjumma.
But still, this isn't right.
You know why I can't tell Do Ran!
Look, Do Ran's dad.
I'm the only one who knows your secret in this world.
I could die in two days.
So, just ignore everything
and live in peace with your daughter in your life.
Ahjumma...
But this still isn't right.
You really made a huge mistake.
If you considered my Do Ran, you should've never told her.
If my Do Ran...
finds out everything about me,
My Do Ran...
will be miserable.
Miserable...
Fine.
I can just leave again.
If Do Ran comes back to you and
asks you about me again,
just say you don't know. That I'm not the one.
Please tell her that.
You must...
do me this favor, Ahjumma.
Hey, hey! Do Ran's dad!
Do Ran's dad! Do Ran's dad!
Oh, no...
Where did he go so fast?
Oh, no... What to do now...
The phone is turned off. You'll be...
Gosh...
Why is Do Ran's phone turned off now?
Gosh, gosh!
What do I do now?
What if Do Ran's dad...
takes off like this, huh?
What do I do...
You can come down when the dinner is all prepared.
You must be so tired coming after work.
I'm fine.
Miss Yeojoo and you prepared everything already
and I'm only helping.
Young Madam!
Come here and taste this stew.
Okay!
- Excuse me. - Sure.
Let's see.
It's hot.
It's so good. Not salty at all.
Always cook it to this taste.
They don't like salty food.
I see. Got it.
I guess Mr. Kang must eat separately?
He used to eat with us at first,
but he eats alone at his quarter if we prepare him the side dishes.
I see.
I'm sure it's more comfortable for him to eat alone
rather than eating here.
I see.
I'll have to pay special attention from now on. He works so hard.
Aigoo, why worry about Mr. Kang's meals?
We take care of Mr. Kang,
so you don't have to concern yourself at all.
- Okay. - I'm home!
You were here, Do Ran.
Didn't you say you have a company dinner after the meeting?
Deputy Kang had something come up at home, so we postponed it.
Do Ran,
Yoo Jin's grandma kept calling me.
I think it's urgent.
Yoo Jin's grandma?
[ 10 missed calls ]
I'll be back after a phone call.
- Yes, Grandma. It's me. - Do Ran...
Why don't you answer your phone?
My phone was dead, so I was charging it.
Aigoo, what am I going to do? Oh, no...
What's going on?
Do Ran, your dad found out!
I don't know how, but he came to the hospital right after you left.
What?
Mr. Kang found out?
Yeah!
He asked me why I told you.
He said he's going to take off somewhere...
Aigoo, what do I do...
Do Ran, hurry up and get him.
Go get him before he takes off to somewhere!
Yes, yes.
No...
What's going on here?
By chance...
Could Mr. Kang really...
Madam Park, Chairman, I'm so sorry.
Something urgent came up, so I had to leave without talking to you.
I'll contact you again very soon.
And I'll repay you for everything you've done for me.
I thank you for everything.
I sincerely apologize.
No...
No, no, no!
Mr. Kang...
No.
No!
Mr. Kang...
Mr. Kang!
Mr. Kang, wait please!
Mr. Kang!
Father, stop!
Dad!
Dad, don't go.
Dad...
What do you mean "dad?"
Why are you doing this to me?
Let me go.
You're my dad, Mr. Kang.
Why are you leaving me again?
Please don't go.
Ms. Kim!
I'm not your dad, Ms. Kim!
Kim Dong Cheol is your dad!
I'm not your dad!
So, let go of me!
Taxi!
No! Dad! Dad!
Taxi!
Dad!
Do Ran...
♫ Even if I'm born again a thousand times ♫
Don't go...
Please don't go, Dad...
Dad...
I'm not your dad...
So, don't do this.
You're my dad.
I even ran the DNA test.
You and I are father and daughter.
But why do you keep denying it?
You've been by my side all this time so quietly.
Why do you keep saying you're not? Why?
I'm...
I'm not your dad.
I abandoned you as an infant...
and didn't even raise you.
I didn't even look for you.
How is that a dad?
That's not a dad.
Dad.
I won't ask any questions.
I won't blame you for anything.
So, please don't go.
Please...
You're better off...
without a dad like me.
If I stay by your side,
you'll become miserable.
That's why.
No.
It's okay if I become miserable.
No...
It's okay if I have to call you Mr. Kang all my life.
So...
please don't go, Dad.
♫ Even if I can't say I love you ♫
Dad...
♫ Just by looking at you from afar ♫
♫ I'm able to give you everything, I can love you ♫
♫ So I'm happy though I'm sad ♫
You promised me.
That you're not going anywhere.
Answer me.
That you won't run away without my knowledge.
Okay.
I got it.
But...
You and I...
Nothing's changed.
So...
we can live the way we always have.
Let's not be apart
and be by my side from now on.
Let's live together seeing each other's faces.
I'm not curious about anything else besides the fact that you're my dad.
So...
don't try to explain anything.
I can be understanding about everything.
You and I are...
the only blood relation in this world.
Thank you.
Enjoy.
Looks good.
- Eat. - Okay.
Eat.
It was so cold outside.
Yes.
They didn't put any pepper flakes.
Should I put some pepper flakes for you?
It's good to eat spicy when it's so cold out.
Right.
Why Dad had to abandon me a long time ago...
Until he's willing to tell me first,
I won't ask him anything.
His painful wound...
I'll ignore it.
We got to meet again like this.
Everything's fine now.
Am I the last one? I'm sorry.
You're not last.
Where is Do Ran?
Well, I think she left because something came up.
What do you mean, "you think?"
She didn't say anything to you before she left?
Yes.
Her close friend's grandma is having a stomach cancer surgery tomorrow.
She called all of a sudden. I think it's urgent.
A close friend's grandma?
She went out because her close friend's grandma is going into surgery?
It's not even a close friend's parents.
A close friend's grandma?
Gosh, seriously. Unbelievable.
I think it's her very close friend, Mom.
Yeah, that could happen if they're really close.
It's not an ordinary surgery, but a stomach cancer surgery.
What I'm saying is...
for a newlywed who just got married living with her elders...
This is why being raised properly is important.
- Mother. - Honey.
I got it.
Let's stop talking about such matters and let's just eat.
- Mother, eat. - Mother, eat.
Da Ya, eat this. The marinated clams are good.
- Okay. - What a despicable tramp!
What? Being raised properly?
So, were you brought up properly that you're living as a tramp, b****?
Mother. Mother!
Mother!
You get to feed your daughter without my Myung Hee,
does it taste good, b****?
You b****! You tramp!
- Mother. - Grandma!
You b******!
Get out, get out, get out!
- Mother, calm down. - Grandma!
Let go! If those b****** come back again, I'll yank out all their hair!
Father! Where is my Myung Hee?
My Myung Hee likes marinated clams.
Those b****** stuffed themselves already!
Father, where is my Myung Hee?
- Where did Myung Hee go? - Mother.
Dae Ryook, call Ms. Kim, I mean, Do Ran quickly. Hurry!
Yes, Father.
- Grandma... - Myung Hee!
Where did she go? Those b****** ate up everything!
- He's getting her. - She'll be here soon.
More daikon please.
Daikon?
- Yes. - Okay.
- Yes. - Do Ran, where are you?
Grandma is looking for Myung Hee right now.
Alright. I'll be right there.
Grandma is looking for Myung Hee. I have to go now.
Wait.
It's heavy.
I'll carry the bag.
No, I will.
I...
won't go anywhere.
I promised you.
Go in now.
You promised me.
That you won't leave me behind.
Don't worry and go in.
Father, why isn't Myung Hee here yet?
Are you sure she's on her way?
Wait.
Did she get into an accident on her way?
Oh, no, Mother. She's on her way now.
- Myung Hee... - I'm sorry.
- Myung Hee, Myung Hee!
What took you so long?
Hey, Myung Hee, that tramp and her daughter
almost ate up all the marinated clams you love so much.
Marinated clams?
Father, the young man upstairs.
Let's go eat dinner with marinated clams now that Myung Hee is here.
- Let's go, Myung Hee. - Okay.
What's all this in the middle of dinner?
Should we prepare your dinner in your room, Madam and Da Ya?
I guess so.
Honey, you and the young man upstairs, go and eat with Mother.
I have no idea how long I have to put up with this.
I'll go and eat with Mom and Da Ya in the room.
I can't let Go Rae be this way.
I have to stop this. Stop this, stop this!
Yeah.
Where?
Alright, I'll be right there.
Go Rae.
Where are you going right now?
To meet a friend.
A friend?
Who?
A guy?
Of course, a guy.
I'll be back.
Oh, my, my, my! What to do...
My goodness. What to do...
Unni!
Wait...
What's wrong?
Go Rae went out to meet a guy.
I have to see who he's seeing!
Unni! Let me go with you!
Hey, Go Rae.
- Aigoo... - How have you been?
I'm good.
Oh, my, my. Goodness.
Look at them. It's him, it's him!
Unni...
No matter how upset you are, stop crying now.
I'm sure Go Rae didn't have a choice.
Just think of it as fate and accept it, Unni.
Unni, you're Go Rae's mom.
Even if people throw rocks at him,
you have to be understanding.
You have to stay strong, Unni!
If you crumble like this, what happens then?
About this...
It's an absolute secret. Keep your mouth shut until you die!
The day you run your mouth,
my son's life is over!
I got it. Of course. Of course, I should do that.
It's so tough to live as a sexual minority in South Korea.
There can't be any rumors about this.
What do we do about my Go Rae.
Oh, no! My Go Rae...
Unni...
even still, let's...
accept and support Go Rae's love.
If we don't, Go Rae will suffer too much.
What do we do about my Go Rae!
What do we do?
Go Rae, how is your office?
I heard it's going really well.
What do you mean? It's similar to your offices.
Aigoo, I'm dying here.
Ever since another dental office opened up in my building,
I lost so many patients.
Hey, look outside nowadays. There are dental offices every other building.
How can we make a living this way?
Go Rae...
Could you hire me as your staff dentist?
I'm struggling so much these days.
What's wrong with you guys? We're all in the same boat.
Forget that and let's have another round.
Excuse me, more beer please.
[ River ]
Here.
How could he not call nor text even once?
I know it's a contractual relationship,
but shouldn't he text me at least once if we're dating?
What...
Is he playing games at a PC Cafe again?
Yang Soon!
I'm glad you came!
Your restaurant is so clean and nice.
I envy you.
How did you get to open up your second branch?
The original branch was a success, but also
it didn't take too much seed money to get started.
- Really? - Yeah.
If you're determined, you can do it, too.
I want to work hard and make some money, too.
You're really going to hire me as your employee, right?
Not just an employee.
Could you take charge of this restaurant and manage it?
What?
The original branch is crazy busy.
It's hard for me to manage the second branch, too.
And it's not like I can just put anyone in charge.
So...
not just a staff, but making me a boss, right?
Yeah.
I think I can trust you if it's you, Yang Soon.
My goodness...
I thank you so much.
I'll never forget this.
I'll work hard and manage this restaurant as if it's mine.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Hey, what phone call are you waiting for?
Are you waiting for that jobless guy to call?
Oh, no.
Aigoo, what do you mean no?
Mi Ran!
You can't date a guy like that. Never.
Meeting him here and there...
And if you get attached, you're in big trouble.
And what if he sticks to you and won't leave you. What then?
Mom, don't worry about that.
We're not that serious.
He said he'll leave me alone when I find someone to marry.
That's why it's contractual dating.
He's a kind jobless guy. So, don't worry, Mom.
A kind jobless guy?
A kind jobless guy isn't a man then?
If a woman meets the wrong guy,
your life is over in a second. You know that?
Gosh, Unni! Are you scolding Mi Ran again?
Auntie, I can't stand this because of Mom.
Unni.
She needs to date all kinds of men before she gets married.
So that she can choose the right guy and settle down.
Gosh...
They say to see is to believe.
People who have dated marry well.
Aigoo, is that why you met such a guy
and your life turned out this way?
Oh, my, oh, my!
Why are you picking on me now?
Gosh, I'm so frustrated.
What the heck is going on?
I'm a widow, you're a divorcee.
Seriously.
So, how did your job interview go?
Unni.
I'm a boss at a pizza place.
What?
A boss?
How did you manage that?
The owner of the pizza place is my friend.
She's opening up another branch and asked me to run it.
I'm a salaried boss, but still a boss no less.
Wow, is that true?
I won't ask any questions.
I won't blame you for anything.
So, please don't go.
Who is it?
It's me.
Why aren't you sleeping at this hour?
I wanted to give you this.
What is it?
It's jujube tea.
It's warm.
Drink some before you fall asleep.
It will help you sleep and
I heard jujube tea is good for you in the wintertime.
Thank you.
I'll enjoy it.
But...
don't come by like this again.
What if someone sees you?
Don't worry about that.
Everyone's asleep.
Go to bed now.
The director could be looking for you.
While I'm sleeping,
you can't...
run off to somewhere.
Is that why you came by?
I promised you at that noodle place earlier.
I'll stay by your side.
You...
really mean it, right?
Of course.
So, go to bed now.
Then...
you sleep well, too, Dad.
Do Ran.
Still...
even when we're alone,
I want to call you Dad.
Goodnight, Dad.
Dad.
I found my birth dad.
You'll be happy for me as well, right?
You scared me!
Director, you scared me!
Sorry.
But why did you sneak in here like that?
I didn't want to wake you...
Do Ran.
Where did you go just now?
Me?
I was in the kitchen.
What?
I went to the kitchen to look for you
and came back 'cause you weren't there.
I was in the kitchen and
went out to the front yard to get some fresh air.
Really?
You should've woken me up and asked me to come with you.
It's not good to get cold air at night.
Got it?
Got it.
But why did you wake up all of a sudden?
Geez, how can I sleep when you're not next to me?
Alright. Let's go to bed then.
Okay, I have to brush my teeth.
Dad...
Goodnight.
I was so happy...
meeting you today. It's like a dream.
Thank you.
Sweet dreams, my Do Ran.
It's so mind-boggling more I think about it.
I don't know if I got a new daughter-in-law or an elder to serve.
She faints on me or disappears on us.
[ Episode 54 will air shortly. ]
[ Episode 54 ] Mother, did you ask for me?
Yeah, come and sit down.
Yes.
It's been awhile, huh?
Excuse me?
Ever since you joined the family after marrying Dae Ryook,
have you and I talked face to face like this?
You'd faint on us or disappear on us.
Mother, I'm sorry.
You do think you have issues, right?
How could a mother and daughter-in-law living in the same house
not even have time to chat face to face?
Well, I work and
some personal issues came up.
From now on, I'll come home right after work, Mother.
Well, I don't want to hear your silly excuses.
Do Ran, quit your job
and I think you should take care of the household and Grandma.
Quit my job?
Why? Why are you so surprised?
Did you intend on working?
No, it's just so sudden. So...
Just because of work, you faint wanting to help out with breakfast.
And you turn me into an evil mother-in-law who stresses you out.
Besides, why do you think we approved your marriage to Dae Ryook?
It's because of your grandma.
And if you show up after Da Ya and I get
our hair yanked out by Grandma,
what's the use in that?
Well, Mother, from now on...
I'll do my best to take care of the household and Grandma.
I'm so sorry, Mother.
Don't say stuff like, "I'm sorry."
Just quit your job.
Why don't you answer me?
You should say, "Yes, Mother" when I'm talking to you.
Mother...
My new topping porridge idea that was selected at work
is being sold in the market.
We're working on it until the next season.
Would it be okay if I quit after I wrap up that project?
Hey!
There are plenty of people who'd wrap that up besides you.
Just do as I say.
Madam, the breakfast is ready.
Mother, I'm sorry in the middle of your talking.
I'll go out and help out.
I'm sorry.
Seriously!
She talks back to everything I say!
Gosh! I can't like her even if I try to!
Do Ran, what are you thinking?
How can you be distracted with this handsome Wang Dae Ryook in front of you?
Do Ran, are you worried about something?
Director...
Mother wants me to...
quit my job and
take care of the household and Grandma.
My mother said that?
Yes.
What are your thoughts?
As for me...
I want you to keep working, of course.
The thing I love the most is
going to and fro from work with you, Do Ran.
What do you want to do, Do Ran?
I want to keep working, too.
But seeing Grandma's condition and the household...
Then what's there to worry?
Just keep working.
As for household, there are Miss Yeojoo and Miss Jo.
As for Grandma...
we can run over whenever Grandma has her episodes.
Now, there's no problem, right?
Let me give it some thought.
You ignore what I said.
Do you understand?
Got it.
Miss Jo, Mother's rice tea.
Yes, Madam.
Thank you.
Mother.
Did you tell Do Ran to quit her job?
Yeah, I said that.
Since she's struggling with too many things, she can focus on Mother.
Since she's the eldest daughter-in-law,
she should learn about our family one thing at a time.
But Mother...
Do Ran is a crucial member at the office.
She's currently on some projects as well.
As for the household, Do Ran doesn't have to be here.
We have so many people at home.
Listen to you talk.
Anyhow, she's our eldest daughter-in-law.
I'm saying this because she's the oldest.
You think running a household is easy?
Eun Young.
Let's take our time teaching her about household things.
Oh, Mother!
She just got married.
She'll be doing that for a long time.
Mother, Grandma says yes.
So, we'll take care of Do Ran's work issue.
Director.
We have an early morning meeting. So, we'll go ahead, Father.
Okay, go ahead.
Let's go, Do Ran.
- We'll get going, Grandma and Mother. - Okay.
I mean...
Why don't you say a word, Honey?
Honestly, you allowed this marriage because of Mother.
You'd feel better if she stayed home with Mother.
How can you say it like that?
Is that what you really think of me?
Yeah, I do. Isn't that right?
So, I feel like all this is...
my fault again.
Mother.
What are you doing at the breakfast table?
What?
I didn't bring this up first. Dae Ryook did.
All this time, Do Ran has been doing well at work
and has been taking care of Mother fine.
What do you have to complain about?
Just because Do Ran's not home during the day, do things at home go awry?
Besides...
is it your responsibility to run the company?
That's my responsibility. Mine!
You didn't discuss it with me at all!
What's wrong with you?
Father is too much.
You weren't wrong about anything, Mother.
If it's going to be like this, let's not sit back.
- Let's go to work, too. - Hey, Da Ya!
Don't meddle. Just stay back. Don't fan the flame.
Do Ran, wait for me.
What's with you?
Wh... what?
You said you'd think about it, yet you bring it up at the breakfast table.
Then, I look like a tattle-tail.
What's wrong with you?
What did I do so wrong?
Huh?
Are you saying you did right then?
What's going on?
Mr. Kang, could you listen and tell me what I did wrong?
Sure, go ahead and tell me.
My mother asked Do Ran to quit her job.
So, I asked her what she wants to do.
And Do Ran said she wants to continue to work.
So, I asked my mother, "Why did you say that?"
"Do Ran is essential to our company. Don't say that again."
That's what I said. Is that so wrong?
No.
I don't think you did such a wrong thing.
Right?
Of course, Mr. Kang is fair.
Mr. Kang, are you saying the Director did right?
Wow, men are all the same.
Director, I don't want to go to work with you.
Let's go separately.
Did you see her temper?
I live with a woman like that.
I don't know who she takes after.
Have a good day.
Mr. Kang!
- Hi. - What are you staring at?
No, nothing.
Madam says to take some
nabak-kimchi and pumpkin porridge to her in-law's.
Yes, will do.
Mr. Kang.
Mr. Kang wouldn't think
I come on to any guy out there, right?
Who is it?
It's Mr. Kang.
I wonder what brings him here.
Ta-da!
What's wrong?
Is it because I'm home alone?
Oh, no...
What's that?
Our madam sent it over.
Mr. Kang, come in.
Have some tea before you go.
Oh, no.
I'm busy, so I'll get going.
No, Mr. Kang! Don't leave like that...
Mr. Kang! I have something to give you!
Gosh!
Oh, my God!
What a stupid...
Oh, my! What the f***!
Mr. Kang!
Mr. Kang! Mr. Kang!
You can't just leave.
I said I have something to give you.
To give me? What...
Here.
What is it?
I went shopping at the mall yesterday.
I bought it when I thought of you.
Try them on. They're gloves.
Why would you give me this?
When I got drunk not too long ago,
you didn't act as if you were hassled
and talked to me taking a stroll with me.
And you taught me how to bake.
It's my heart.
Just think of it as a gift from your student
and accept it.
Alright.
I'll consider it a gift from my student
and accept it.
Here, let me put them on for you.
No, no, no. I'll put them on.
They fit great.
Thank you, Hong Joo.
The gloves fit great on you
and they suit you.
And since you accept them happily,
I feel like flying!
But...
I only get to receive them
and don't have anything to give you. What should I do?
Then...
will you buy me some coffee?
Coffee?
I said I'd buy you some at a coffee shop.
I received such nice gloves
and to give you vending machine coffee? That's not right.
The vending machine coffee I get to enjoy with you in this cold breeze
is much tastier than expensive coffee from a coffee shop.
Then, I'll get you more next time.
- Really? - Yes.
♫ I'll make you smile ♫
What?
♫ I'll be your strength, more than anyone in the world ♫
What are you doing?
What are you doing right now?
It's my service for the cup of coffee you got for me.
Stop now. What are you doing?
Isn't it fun?
- Is it scary? - Yes, I'm scared.
- Isn't it fun? - No, no, no!
You have to push me later, too.
Yeah!
♫ I'll walk with you ♫
♫ I'll be your sun during the day ♫
♫ I'll be your moon at night ♫
♫ I'll always be by your side ♫
You're in a suit, Oppa.
- Is something going on? - Yeah.
I need to go to the office today.
The office? What office?
What do you mean what office?
Besides Bom & Food,
is there anywhere else for me to go?
Oppa!
Will you start going into the company now?
You said it's your wish.
I've been thinking about it seriously.
If it's your wish, I'll go get the stars in the sky for you.
Couldn't I go and work at the company?
Expect more, Jang Da Ya.
As expected, you look great in a suit!
Looks like you walked out of a magazine. Out of a magazine!
- So handsome! - Come here!
My oppa...
Mother! Mother!
Yi Ryook oppa is working at the company now.
- Isn't that great? - Yeah...
Mother, what's wrong?
No matter how much I think about her. Do Ran, what do we do about her?
She uses Dae Ryook
and won't hear anything I have to say.
My pride hurt this morning as well.
Mother, you must be so upset.
She married into a family out of her league thanks to Grandma.
She should stay home and be a caretaker.
How dare she goes to work eating the food we cook for her?
Now that I think about it,
it seems she's working with your support.
Because your grandma and father-in-law adore her,
she's not a daughter-in-law, but more like the chairman's youngest sister.
This won't do.
I'll make her stay home and teach her a lesson.
I just can't appease my anger.
But Mother...
Even if she quits, there are Miss Yeojoo and Miss Jo to do household chores.
Those two will do everything though.
If she ends up staying home all day and not work,
she might become more arrogant with Grandma's support.
Oh, my!
True. That's plausible.
Right, as Dae Ryook said,
there are more than enough people to do the house chores.
- Put more pepper flakes in here. - Okay.
- This much? - Yeah.
Good, good.
Here.
Taste it.
It's bitter.
Gosh, this is how you eat gohdeulbaegi.
Right.
It tastes great once it's fermented.
The bitter taste will be gone.
It tastes perfect. It will be good.
Miss Yeojoo.
Mother is looking for you.
Me?
Here.
What's this, Madam?
Your vacation bonus.
- My vacation bonus? - Yes.
I know you've worked so hard night and day at our house for 20 years.
I really thank you.
So, I want to give you a vacation.
Go to your daughter's house for a month and come back.
Madam...
Did I do something wrong by chance?
Oh, no! You didn't!
This is a real vacation.
- Really? - Yes.
But I do have a favor.
Of course to my husband and Mother, and the rest of the family,
say your daughter had a baby
and you have to go for her postnatal care.
Could you say that for me?
But Madam...
She has two more months to go for my daughter to give birth.
Just say she already had the baby.
The baby could come early. I'll give you some more time off then.
Oh, okay.
You must.
You must say it's for postnatal care, okay?
Okay. Yes, ma'am.
Alright. I ask you.
Your daughter had a baby?
Yes, Madam Park.
Aigoo. Congratulations, Miss Yeojoo.
Is it a boy or girl?
Ah, well... it's a boy. A boy.
A boy!
Miss Yeojoo, I envy you.
He must be adorable.
Is the mother healthy?
Yes, Madam Park.
So, Mother...
There's no one to look after her daughter,
so she's asking for a month off for vacation. So, I said yes.
Yes, yes, you did well.
Of course, you should take care of her.
Miss Yeojoo, go and take good care of your daughter.
Thank you, Madam Park.
Aigoo...
I feel uneasy having to go all of a sudden.
Right? It's so sudden even in your mind, right?
What?
Ahjumma, be honest with me. Open up.
Wh, wh, what?
Ahjumma, you told me this clearly last time.
You still have two more months for your daughter to give birth.
And you say she had the baby now?
She did! She rea... really did!
"Wh, what? Rea... really!"
See? You're stuttering.
This isn't about your daughter, right?
There's some conspiracy, right?
Aigoo!
I'm telling you clearly now!
Shut your mouth.
Got it?
I got it.
Anyway, have a good time at your daughter's. It's been a while.
Anyway, I trust you, Miss Jo.
Miss Yeojoo, are you ready to go?
Yes, Madam.
I asked Mr. Kang to give you a ride. So, go comfortably to the terminal.
Yes, thank you, Madam.
Let's go.
It's so unnatural.
There's something there.
Ahjumma, I heard you're visiting your daughter who just had your grandchild.
You must be so happy,
but why do you look so down?
Of course I'm happy. I'm going to see my daughter.
I'm so happy.
But Mr. Kang...
please take special care of the older daughter-in-law in my absence.
Oh, Ms. Kim?
I think Ms. Kim will have to suffer under her mother-in-law for a while.
I feel so sorry for her in the short time she's been married.
What do you mean by that?
I have a daughter, too.
Even though I'm on my way to see my daughter,
I just feel so uneasy.
Anyway, I'm concerned.
Ahjumma,
you going on vacation...
Are you going because of the Madam, not your daughter?
Wh, what?
I mean...
so that Madam can make Ms. Kim do your job.
So that Madam can make Ms. Kim suffer under her control.
Am I right?
I'm sorry, Mr. Kang.
Don't ask me such difficult questions.
In any case, please help out Do Ran a lot.
Okay.
Traditionally, the seolleongtang restaurants were
filled with people in their 40s and 50s.
But our Bom & Food seolleongtang
has been rebirthed as the one that can satisfy different age groups.
Seolleongtang you can enjoy easily, cleanly, and safely.
Also, with chic and energetic interior design,
it's a space one can relax in.
Yes, Mother.
Come home early tonight.
Miss Yeojoo isn't home, so help me make dinner.
Mother...
we're getting together with Dae Ryook's friends
to thank them for coming to our wedding.
Why would you go there?
Besides, what did you tell me this morning?
Didn't you say you'd be home as soon as work is over?
How can you change your words in a day?
Okay, I understand.
Okay.
Yes.
Do Ran, get ready.
Let's go before the traffic jam.
We're the ones initiating tonight's gathering. We shouldn't be late.
Director, what should I do?
You'll have to go alone.
Why?
I have to go home now.
I heard Miss Yeojoo isn't home right now.
What are you talking about?
I planned everything with my friends.
I'll call Mother and explain to her.
Please don't do that.
Geez.
They can't eat dinner without Miss Yeojoo?
Mother, Miss Jo, and even Da Ya are home.
Do you think I'd feel okay if I went to the gathering
with you and not go home?
Geez, why is she doing this?
I can't understand this!
Honestly, I haven't been able to
pay attention to the home ever since I got married.
I want to go home and chat with Mother and Grandma.
Okay?
Alright.
I can't say anything,
because you'd say I'm immature and thoughtless.
Go and explain to your friends.
Have a good time.
I don't know if I'd have fun when you're not there, Do Ran.
We have to be apart for a few hours. Come here.
Let me give you a hug one last time.
Geez, you're too much.
Director! Hey! Oh, no!
What... what are you doing right now?
We're not doing anything.
I have to be apart from her for a few hours.
So, I was saying goodbye to her.
Seriously. You're up to all kinds of nonsense. Really.
I'm so lonely as it is.
Please sign this.
Mr. Hong, I'm sorry.
These days...
I'm scared of you the most, Mr. Hong.
Let's take it easy, okay?
Yeah.
Mother, I'm home.
Oh, you're home.
Yes.
Do Ran, around this time of the year,
it's our tradition to make dumplings at home.
Dumplings, Mother?
Yeah.
Let's make enough and share them with friends.
Okay.
But what should we do without Miss Yeojoo around?
- Mother, did Miss Yeojoo go somewhere? - Yeah.
Her daughter had a son, and she wanted to do her postnatal care.
So I had to let her go.
So, why don't you try making them yourself as the oldest?
You can do it, right?
Yes, Mother. Well...
By when?
How many should I make?
200 kimchi dumplings, 200 beef dumplings.
Make them tomorrow.
4... 4... 400?
By tomorrow?
Da Ya and I have to go out to a bazaar tomorrow.
So, ask Miss Jo about it.
Don't use store-bought dumpling skins, but make them from the dough.
Mother...
Can we make them this weekend instead?
There's a very important meeting tomorrow.
Hey, if you say you have to go to work,
must I make dumplings at home and miss the important bazaar?
I've been doing it since I got married, too.
Also, don't talk about work with me.
I told you to quit work.
From now on, prioritize household chores.
Understand?
Yes, yes, I understand.
Okay.
- I'm counting on you. - Yes, Mother.
What the heck?
He didn't answer my calls last night.
Did he not see the missed calls sleeping all day?
There's no way!
Look at the time.
Gosh, it hurts my pride!
So unbelievable!
Is he dumping me when he's jobless?
How could he be so irresponsible when we've agreed?
You never know. Should I try calling him?
I won't!
I have my pride.
No, I won't!
Hi.
Who are you saying hi to?
What's wrong?
It's me.
Your boyfriend.
How dare you make me wait and worry?
Why did you ignore my calls?
Did you decide to break our contract?
Sorry, I was busy today.
How busy could a jobless guy be?
Did you break your fingers?
You couldn't even text me once?
Did you have time to eat?
Did you sleep all day? Is that why you missed my texts?
Or are you regretting dating me?
Hurry up and tell me! I'll cancel it if you regret it!
Cancel? Why would I be here if I were to cancel?
Sorry I made you wait.
Let's go on a date.
I don't want to!
You go alone!
How can I go on a date alone? We have to go together.
Let go!
Here.
Try this.
♫ The door is opening, you're walking in ♫
- What? - You have something on your face. Wait.
What are you doing?
Playing.
Geez, not funny at all.
Mi Ran.
What?
When you get mad and angry,
you're so cute.
What?
You seem like such a player at times.
What?
You eat it.
What are you doing?
If you do that one more time...
Take a look at the scarves.
This is so pretty!
- Isn't it pretty? - Yes.
Do you want to try it on?
Should I?
Wow, looks so nice on you.
It's a matching scarf set.
So pretty!
- You look so pretty. - It's so warm.
A picture?
One, two, three.
So, the ingredients for the dumplings are
tofu, chives, mung bean sprouts, glass noodles, and meat?
Yes, I'll ask Miss Jo if I have more questions.
Ahjumma, you'll come back after taking care of your daughter, right?
Hurry back.
Please don't worry.
Okay.
Do Ran.
Why are you so drunk?
My wife. My bunny.
You reek of alcohol.
Why did you drink so much?
My friends made me drink so much because you weren't there.
But still, how could you drink this much?
My wife is the best!
Gosh, go like this.
Gosh, you're too much.
But what should I do about the dumplings?
I can't miss the topping porridge PR meeting tomorrow.
Dad...
Can you go to the market with me right now?
Of course.
But why go to the market this late?
I have to buy dumpling ingredients.
But the director came home and is too drunk.
Dumplings?
Okay.
Hurry up and come out.
Where is she going this late at night?
I'm sorry at this late hour.
No need to be sorry.
I'm...
happy that I get to see you, Do Ran.
Really?
Of course.
Whenever you need me,
don't feel bad and just tell me.
Alright?
Thank you...
Dad.
Wait...
What...
What?
Did you just...
say "dad?"
♫ Even if I can't say I love you ♫
♫ Just by looking at you from afar ♫
♫ I'm able to give you everything, I can love you ♫
[ My Only One ]
Boss.
Is your son dating anyone?
Cold, huh? Give me your hand.
Let go of this, you SOB! Get away from me!
Hong Joo!
Who is that man?
Isn't Madam too mean?
I think she did it on purpose, so Young Madam can't go to work.
Aren't you being too mean to someone who goes to work?
Where am I? Myung Hee!
Director, we have a problem. Grandma disappeared.
♫ So I'm happy though I'm sad ♫
