We've finished the preparations, Grandpa.
Let's begin.
Grandma, did you fall asleep in the bathroom again?
It's not hard to get up early at my age.
A young brat like you wouldn't understand.
I'm not that young anymore, Brother.
Looks like your dad's not up yet.
Are you still in bed, Dad?
We're ready to begin the service.
Where's Dad?
I think he left early today...
Let's begin.
Doesn't Dad know he's too old to be acting like this?
Love makes you do weird things.
Grandma.
He's old enough to know.
Is Grandpa fooling around like my dad?
Why do you always talk about me like that?
Didn't you cheat on Mom?
Fine. So I did. That's why your mom divorced me, okay?
We can claim the title of Honorable Dysfunctional Family.
I'll be all right. You should leave.
I'm not in the mood for this.
Come in.
I'm sorry to have called you so early.
Don't be so formal, Suk-ho.
As the doctor already told you,
It's a typical case of vaginal bleeding in pregnancy.
It's most likely stress, so relax and take care of yourself.
How can I do that when I'm pregnant at age 50?
I didn't tell you to get pregnant.
So schedule me for an abortion.
You can't have the surgery.
Why not?
In your current condition, you'll have to wait a month.
You're telling me to wait a whole month?
This is the 8th floor.
What?
You can jump off if you want.
That's what you told me when I called you
after I failed my license exam.
You said I should use poison instead of drowning
since I practice medicine.
Get out, you wench.
Suk-ho, can we...?
Is she really in such terrible condition?
Although we quarrel a lot, we're still good friends.
I bought you one whole month.
You'll need to convince her within that time.
Good luck, Suk-ho.
You're quite dull.
I'm sorry.
You didn't even bother looking around.
You just passed out on my bed.
Sorry I slept on your bed...
I'll let this slide since you're still recovering.
Thank you.
You won't say that starting tomorrow.
I'm sure you can't afford to pay rent. So work for it.
Sorry?
You can do the housework.
Okay.
I don't normally cook,
but you can be my housekeeper starting now.
I like soup.
Okay.
This is the house key.
Try not to use too much water, or the landlord granny will blow.
I won't.
I meant when you do the laundry.
I even go to the sauna to take a shower.
Isn't the sauna more expensive?
Like I said, the grandma has a short fuse.
Let's try not to set her off, okay?
I'm off to work. Good luck with the housework.
Have a nice day.
Strangely, I feel like I have a wife at home now.
Don't worry.
I like men. I just don't have a special somebody.
You can eat the dried rice snack.
I won't be so nice after tomorrow.
Wait...
I'll do my best.
I'm looking forward to it.
CONSERVE WATER, OR GRANDMA WILL COLLAPSE.
What are you doing here?
I was going to have a talk with Dad,
but he called in and said he'd be late.
Did you know Director Lee hasn't come to work yet?
Isn't this going too far? He can't do this to our mom.
Said the guy who cheated on his wife.
Are you trying to be like Dong-dong?
Leave me out of it.
Dad's been alone since he was 30.
So what?
Dad and I are different.
I'm the type that just can't live without girls.
Dad got married when he was 18,
and had 3 children before he turned 30.
Why are you bringing that up?
Why do you think?
I know Dad's life has been tough.
But still... He meant everything to Mom.
I'm not hungry.
Eat it while it's hot.
I'm still getting the surgery next month.
We'll talk about that when the time comes.
Have you eaten breakfast?
I can eat later.
You're ticking me off.
Don't stress out, okay?
We didn't have to take our relationship this far.
You'd make a pretty good boyfriend.
I know.
I look all right, I'm gentle, and I...
I look young for my age.
I can be funny if I want to. I can keep you happy, Young-in.
I'm unexpectedly funny, you know.
Go to work.
If we're both out, then people might...
I don't care.
Then we can't see each other.
You called me when you needed someone.
That's all I want. So nothing else matters to me.
I brought your lunch.
I'm not hungry.
You had a small breakfast, so don't skip lunch.
Just take it back.
You've been skipping meals since the funeral...
That forgetful brat!
That was a crazy fight!
What will I do with you?!
What's wrong?
Don't you smell anything burning?
You'll set the house on fire! This isn't your first time!
I went to take out the trash, and I saw a fight...
The owner of Taesoo Food, and this lady got into a fight.
Is that any of your business?
I wouldn't pass up on watching fights.
You didn't go to college so you can learn housework.
So what's the meaning of this?
Well...
What?!
I think I have a servant complex.
What?
It's all your fault.
I grew up watching you, so I can't do any better!
How bizarre!
Servant complex?
Is there such a thing?
Yes, I called Professor Harada at the hotel.
He's glad that the seminar room is located within the hotel.
He's going to take a short rest before he comes.
I have the information you wanted.
Yes, I'll see you then. Bye.
As a token of apology for last night.
That's an old joke.
But aren't you old-fashioned yourself?
Don't bother me like that again.
I think I'm immune to your scolding now.
You words can't hurt me anymore.
I'm a professor.
And only 6 years older.
How much can I make working part-time at the coffee shop?
Remember you worked construction
but spent all of your pay on hospital bills?
Why do you need so much money?
I want to get married.
So you're saving up for a place?
That's my dad's responsibility.
I thought you were saving up for marriage.
I'll pay for the ring myself.
I can't ask my dad to pay for the ring too.
You know your bride-to-be has absolutely no interest in you?
That's why I chose her. I like girls that act hard-to-get.
Don't confuse playing hard-to-get with rejection.
Do you know what my dream is? To marry a husband-beater.
You're the craziest fool I've ever known.
We'll prepare you for your dream.
So what?
So he borrowed 1.5 million?
He used the property as a voucher?
Director Choi said...
Director Choi... Just what do you think he is?
He's the Chairman's right-hand man...
He's been with the company since its inauguration...
Where is he right now?
He'll be returning from Busan tomorrow...
I told him to come immediately...
Director Choi?
Come back and talk with President Lee.
I'm sure there's some reason.
You may leave.
You can talk with Gang-suk about that.
I don't have a say in these matters.
You're breaking up...
That fool went too far.
We need to fire him.
We've been too easy on him because of his ties with you.
He's just not too bright.
It was just chump change at first,
but he's getting greedier by the day.
His wife was really good to your mom, almost like a servant.
She'll probably come and cry about the old times.
Friends are more dangerous than enemies.
We need to draw the line somewhere.
You call the shots.
I won't give him the severance pay.
As restitution for the damages he caused.
If that's not enough, I'll take his house too.
That fool has no idea how cold-blooded you are.
Have Attorney Lee assess Director Choi's assets.
I'll help you, Mom.
Why did you come here again?
Why else? I missed you, Mom.
I already told you I'm not your mom.
Mom...
I said I'm not your mom.
You can adopt me.
Like those celebrities? You can adopt me, Mom.
Dong-dong.
I can still be your son, please Mom?
Dong-dong.
Why don't you study when you're such a bright kid?
Because I take after Dad.
So go live with him.
Mom.
Don't call me Mom.
Mom, I like you more than Dad.
He's always cheating on you...
I divorced him,
so he's allowed to see other girls from now on.
I don't want call Dad's girlfriend Mom.
That's none of my business.
You're not my son, so I don't care what happens to you.
I'm hungry, Mom.
You didn't eat at school?
I did, but I'm still hungry.
Only the meals you cook fill me up.
Ask Dad to buy you vermifuge.
I don't like you.
I don't like your dad, so why would I like you?
What's up?
Don't I look frail? I lost 7 pounds.
I'm not used to the food at Grandpa's.
I miss your cooking.
Did you two plan it out?
What?
Buy vermifuge for Dong-dong and yourself.
Did you meet Dong-dong?
I told you he's kindhearted like me.
Are you going somewhere?
I am.
Where?
I'm leaving, so I don't have to deal with hungry people.
I filed the divorce paper.
Are you really leaving?
Yes.
I said I'd be fine going by myself.
I'll give you a ride.
I don't want to even ride in the same car as you.
Just bear with me for today.
Do you remember?
What?
Our first date.
When have we ever had a casual date?
I picked you up like 3-4 times, after you finished work.
So what about it?
You told me that I'm a good driver.
So?
I thought about being a racecar driver. So you'd fall for me.
Why didn't you?
I just didn't
Why not? Because you didn't have to try that hard for me?
I was afraid that I'd crash and leave you and Dong-dong behind.
Why Daegu?
Just because.
Why don't you head to your parents' house?
Like they'd welcome a divorced daughter?
Hyun-ok.
When life gets tough, then call me.
I can sell the apartment. That should be enough.
Grandpa also gave me some money.
Maybe I'll open a small store.
I have enough money to last a few years.
I think I'll stay a single dad.
When pigs fly.
If you couldn't stand me, then no woman can.
You're not such a bad person.
You just haven't met your other half.
Can't you just be that other half of mine?
That's why I stayed for the last 8 years.
But I eventually realized that you weren't the one for me.
I'll be right here if you don't find anyone else.
I wouldn't choose you
even if you were the last guy alive on earth.
That's cruel.
I want you go on with someone else.
Don't buy those boiled eggs. You always buy them on the train.
Just go.
Your stomach gets upset when you eat boiled eggs.
Thank you... and I'm sorry.
Save me, Joo-jeong.
You ask me to save you while you're choking me?
My mom and grandma tortured me over the phone for 3 hours.
I wanted to die.
You could've hung yourself with the telephone cord.
If I don't bring a girl with me this year,
I'll have to marry Teun-shil.
I have an arranged date.
What?
My brother set me up on a date.
How cruel.
You'd only ruin someone's life, don't you know that?
I'm deadlier than I seem.
I know.
Merely being grazed by your punch could kill me.
Not that.
What's with the flirty smile?
I could kill men in many ways...
I know. You beat me up before.
I'm talking about you know... At night...
At night, you're even more violent.
Just marry Teun-shil.
Okay, you're a deadly woman, whatever.
So help me, please?
Yes, this is the deadly Ha Joo-jeong.
Suk-ho?
What brings you here of all places?
I came to see you.
Did hell freeze over?
You're full of surprises nowadays.
Is this something we can't discuss at home?
What is this about?
Please help me, Aunt Joo-jeong.
What can I possibly help you with?
Please persuade Father, Aunt Joo-jeong.
You're the only one he can't ignore.
He only ignores what I say.
You know that's not true.
Why don't you ask Dan-ah for help instead?
I can't ask my daughter to help me with my relationship.
You must like her a lot.
Yes.
I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
I'll just make one thing clear.
I'm on your side, no matter what.
I'm home.
And surprisingly sober.
I'm giving my liver a break. I have to think of my age.
Talking about age to someone in his 70's...
Are you free anytime? He's okay whenever.
It's Suk-ho who wants to get married, not me.
I won't let that happen.
Man-gi?
That's not something for you to decide.
It's Suk-ho's life.
He's firstborn.
Firstborns have rules to live by, it's not a choice.
He's been alone since he's been 30.
He's been a single dad with 3 children until now.
Haven't our kinsmen tried to get him to remarry?
And every time, he's refused.
But now Suk-ho says he has someone he wants to marry.
I know that woman well.
She's not cut out to be the head housewife.
She'll be Suk-ho's wife before she's the head housewife.
Haven't you learned anything from Soo-young's divorce?
Divorce doesn't mean anything nowadays.
Just think of their age.
You can't expect a woman in her 50's to have a clean record.
We'll have to find one.
Brother.
This wasn't Mom's first marriage either.
You thought I didn't know?
How did you find out?
I was there when Sam-wol and Mom were talking.
It was about her first marriage and how she got kicked out.
She patted me and said she was glad to finally have a child.
That was a different situation.
Our family had fallen, we were scattered.
Why are you putting such a burden on Suk-ho?
Why are you putting the weight of the family honor
you restored on Suk-ho?
I'm not doing this because of that woman's past.
Then what is it?
I know her well. She's skilled and capable.
Then what's the problem?
But she's not fit to be a member of this family.
It doesn't stop with me?
I've already paid the price for loving someone
who can't be accepted by this family.
I know how that feels.
So I don't want Suk-ho to suffer the same fate.
You got over it, and I expect the same from Suk-ho.
Do you know how cruel you are?
What's the meaning of a family?
Isn't it about the happiness and welfare of its members?
Has it been a month?
Yes, it's slow today.
It's been slow since that big pharmacy opened up.
Don't you still have regulars who come here?
That's how I make ends meet.
You're so devoted.
Excuse me.
Do you live in this neighborhood?
I live up there.
The rich neighborhood.
Do you live in this neighborhood?
I live down there.
Then...
I'll pay you back.
For the hospital bills.
Forget it.
We might run into each other again.
When I have money, I promise I'll pay you back.
Have you been eating well?
As you can see.
I'm home.
You're early today.
It's usually only the Chairman,
Dan-ah, and Dong-Dong at this hour.
Even Joo-jeong's home early. The Chairman would be happy.
Right.
You're running out of vitamins, right?
She'd have run out after dinner tonight.
Don't bother yourself with this.
It's okay if I skip a few days.
Please take your vitamins every day.
She never forgets to take them.
It must be the vitamins. Doesn't my skin look wonderful?
Yes, you look good enough to get married.
I can't.
Why not?
I'd have to find someone at least 20 years younger than me.
Aren't I being too greedy?
That's the trend nowadays, though.
Is that right? Maybe I should go for it.
You're trying to cheer up Soo-young, aren't you?
I have a good sense of humor.
I feel so bad for Soo-young. He just looks so lifeless.
Tae-young also got a divorce,
but he doesn't seem any different.
I'm sure Tae-young's also hurting.
But he's the type that doesn't show it.
Isn't this too harsh?
Everyone knows Director Choi's closely related to the chairman.
If you fire him, they'd be intimidated.
I'll use him as an example.
They need to know I hate being disappointed.
Yes, I'll do as you wish.
I'M IN ROOM 1009 AT THE GLORY HOTEL.
I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU.
Chun-gab?
Who are you?
Noble people carry books even to a place like this?
Do your elders know about this side of you?
Did you find Professor Harada's materials?
Yes, I found them.
Hurry, the lecture already started.
They're all waiting.
What a vulgar man...
Who are you?
I'm the son of the guy you were text messaging.
Show me some manners, at least.
Should I be nice to you when you're coming onto my dad?
What the heck? I didn't come onto him!
Then what?
He's the one who approached me first, and gave me money.
What are you doing?
Then why are you contacting him on your own?
You think you can get something out of him?
Don't talk like you know anything about the Chairman and me.
Want to be his second wife or something?
I don't see why not.
You don't know my dad.
You're just like an expendable pet to him.
What did you call me?
You wouldn't resort to texting if you were intimate with him.
I'm sure you're only doing this for him to make a move.
You should've known where to draw the line.
Game over.
The Chairman really likes me, you know.
I wonder what would happen if your mom found out about me?
If she had, then you would've been dead already.
Welcome home.
Where's Mom and Dad?
Golf practice.
Hye-joo?
She's in her room. Did you eat dinner?
Not yet.
No, that's not it.
You're so slow!
You don't hit, you tap!
Didn't you see the Tiger Woods' video?
Who cares about Tiger Woods?
Stop yelling right next to me.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Your dad's driving me crazy.
I'm not surprised that he always loses golf bets.
I have money to waste, okay?
You must be really proud.
Right, I am.
Darn, that hole's so small I can't even see it.
This is golf, not basketball!
I haven't eaten dinner.
Ask the housekeeper to make you dinner.
I want pork potato stew.
You want pork potato stew? Tell her to make you some.
I like your pork potato stew better.
You said it! Her pork potato stew can't be as good as mine.
I'll make it for you.
Did I leave it at the office?
A girl texted you to come to the hotel.
Who was it from?
From Cheongdam-dong.
It's that wench. She doesn't know her place.
I took care of her.
You didn't have to. I would've done it myself.
You'd take too long, and Mom could've found out.
I only fool around with those girls,
but I don't cross the line. You know that, right?
Then why do you spend money on them?
It's just a hobby of mine.
Make sure they know they're expendable.
Don't let them cross the line again like this.
I got it.
It doesn't take much on their part to start bothering me.
I look like such a nice guy.
I'm sorry I had to be so popular with women.
Thank you for covering for me.
It's only fun if you're not found out,
but if you are, you know the consequences.
I enjoy the thrill from the mind games.
Just change and come down. You can shower after you eat.
Okay.
Hye-joo.
What?
Want to practice driving?
No.
It's been a while since you got your license.
I'll buy you a car.
I don't need one.
If you want to be alone, it's good to be able to drive.
Think about it.
What are you doing?
You're up? I didn't mean to wake you.
Why are you cleaning my house?
I had nothing to do. I washed your stockings.
Your housekeeper already washed everything else.
I hand-washed them with soap.
What did you do that for?
I'm trying to get on your good side.
I have to do whatever it takes for you to change your mind.
This isn't going to earn you any points.
I already have a better housekeeper.
I bought abalone soup.
Why didn't you try cooking it yourself to impress me?
I tried and burnt the pot.
See? I made you laugh again.
Don't you want to keep me around?
It's going to be hard...
... not to keep you around.
But I still can't marry you. Anything but that.
Young-in.
I won't meet anyone else.
And I promise to stay with you until I die.
But that's it. I can't have this baby...
You're conserving water, right?
I only flushed after the third time I peed.
You're learning.
You're always late like this?
Are you nagging me already?
You don't even have time for dinner?
I had something to take care of.
Looks like a great meal.
Did you make the kimchi?
I bought it.
What's wrong?
Why's it sweet?
Maybe you used sugar.
I thought I used salt.
You didn't taste it?
I don't usually do that.
That's a habit of all bad cooks.
What now?
It smells...
Great job.
I bet this is sweet.
Bingo.
It's really sweet.
Tell me the truth.
You got dumped because you're a terrible cook, right?
Yes.
I think we'll just have to rely on take-out.
You're terrible at cooking too?
I already told you that.
I guess we can't marry picky eaters.
We'll have to go for chefs then.
Okay.
Whoever finds one first has to help the other.
Why aren't you sleeping?
Does Dong-dong still kick in his sleep?
He's smarter than you.
Geez...
He only kicks my stomach now.
He's not as dumb as me.
Grandpa.
Thank you for taking care of Hyun-ok, I didn't know.
I told her to call me if she ever needs something.
So just move on.
I know it's not as easy as it sounds.
I'll somehow manage, but I worry about Dong-dong.
He'll get better.
Mom...
I have just one wish.
I wish my mom would adopt me.
I hope I see my mom in my dreams tonight.
I'm sad I haven't seen her in my dreams yet.
Dad.
You're not asleep?
No. What are you looking for?
Do we have any acacia liquor left?
It's in the storage room.
I see.
I'll get it for you.
No, I can do it myself. Get some sleep.
Don't study until too late.
I'll bring you the liquor. You won't be able to find it.
Would you, please? I don't need any food.
Okay.
I didn't need any food.
Just some light refreshment.
Thank you. Go on and get some sleep.
Sorry for the trouble.
I only brought half a bottle.
Okay.
Good night.
Grandma, are you asleep?
No. What is it?
What are you doing?
I'm making a kitchen towel.
It's late.
You put flower embroidery on it?
This kitchen towel will be happy, thanks to you.
I felt sorry for its fate as a kitchen towel.
Even a kitchen towel has a fate?
Everything in this world has a fate.
I wish you a long life, kitchen towel.
You're just like your late grandmother.
She used to say that embroidering a kitchen towel...
You always think of my grandma, don't you?
We were born in the same year, and I was always with her.
How can I not think of her?
Why didn't you get married? My grandma didn't let you?
I liked your grandma much better than any man.
Tell me the truth.
You like men more than women, right?
I liked your grandma the most in this world.
She still has a bad sleeping habit.
That's just how she is.
Do you know what she said to me?
She said I have a servant complex.
She said she got it from me.
Jo-man talks about some weird things sometimes.
I don't disagree with her.
Grandma.
You know what you mean to this family, right?
Why don't you tell me?
I can't describe it in words.
But Grandma.
When he left, when I thought I wanted to leave this world...
I heard what you whispered in my ear.
Dan-ah. Please wake up now.
I heard you crying for me.
I couldn't leave you behind, so I woke up.
Thank you.
So that's how you woke up.
What is this? I was only gone for one day!
None of you realized that the pictures were mixed up?
We even checked...
Let's pull our weight, okay?
Emphasizing that this is a family resort...
Hold on.
I'm not here for a recap.
Sorry?
Why do we need a marketing agency
if you're just repeating information?
But we have a different strategy for countryside marketing.
I've never asked for different strategies by location.
Let them know we won't pay anything before the contract.
But customarily...
We'll change the customs.
Hello?
Don't work too hard. You're not fully recovered yet.
Wrong number.
We'll begin the meeting in 10 minutes.
Director, a phone call from Miss Ha Dan-ah.
Who?
Miss Ha Dan-ah.
Hello? This is Lee Young-in.
I'm Ha Dan-ah. I met you at the funeral.
I remember you. Have a seat.
Coffee, please.
Well...
How about orange juice instead?
I want coffee.
I'll have the same.
I can guess why you asked to see me.
You suggesting orange juice tells me you already know.

After she recovered...
You mean when that guy died?
It's not like her. Now's the time to make your move.
I don't intend to marry President Ha.
Aren't you two in love?
Is she the only traffic officer?
Take that!
Don't you need fast cash?
Have you been eating well?
Are you dating someone?
You've never had a boyfriend, right?
I still think of Mom...
Please spare me, President Lee.
I'm sorry you had to see that.
I already took care of it.
It means nothing to you?
It isn't my first time.
Then just leave! You can't, can you?
Does it ache?
I'm all right.
Please help Dan-ah...
They're deferring the loan.
Deferring?
We don't have much time left.
We'll go bankrupt at this rate.
