I won't lie to you.
I could still see him after pretending to have broken up.
But I won't do that.
I'll really break up with Gang-suk.
I can't bear to see him in pain because of me.
I don't want to hurt my family or the two of you anymore.
Do you mean that?
Yes.
I'm sorry for not doing this sooner for everyone's sake.
Please understand it as my devotion for Gang-suk,
and forgive me.
And please get well soon.
I'll never see you again,
but I'll continue to wish the two of you well.
That'll be my last courtesy for Gang-suk.
Why are you here?
You didn't answer my calls, and I find you here?
Let's...
...break up, Gang-suk.
You know we can't go on.
Our feelings alone aren't enough.
Can you live without me?
I can't live without you, but can you live without me?
I can try.
It'll be very painful,
but I'll know we're living under the same sky,
so that'll be enough for me.
Don't fight with your mother anymore.
Go back to feeling that
you couldn't put me on the same scale as your parents.
I'm just stepping off the scale of my own free will,
so don't blame yourself.
Just go on.
Goodbye.
Don't do this.
Please, Gang-suk.
Please go back.
Get in.
Gang-suk.
Please get in.
I was just as adamantly against her as you,
but I changed my mind after I saw her for who she was.
Professor Ha's father begged me as he cried.
He asked me to have mercy on her,
and said he'd resign from the company.
As a father myself,
I understand the heartache he felt for his daughter...
So I asked Professor Ha what she'd do
if I were against her until the end.
She said she'd give up on the marriage,
but she wouldn't become someone else's wife.
That means she'd remain devoted to Gang-suk.
Before she walked in,
I told her to pretend to break up with him just for show.
But as you heard,
she said she wouldn't think of deceiving her elders,
and would break up with him for good.
I can see why Gang-suk can't live without her.
If it weren't for her bad fortune,
I wouldn't hate her either.
I feel sorry for her.
If she weren't intent on being my daughter-in-law,
I would've felt sorry for her.
Look at me.
I made it against all odds, despite being a scrap-collector.
I worked hard to defy my fate, and became a millionaire.
So who's to say she can't change her fate?
Whatever!
It's already tearing my heart, so leave me alone!
I held you back
because I wouldn't have been able to live on.
I couldn't breathe without you.
I know.
Yet you'd still leave me?
You know I wouldn't be able to live without you.
It's not because I don't love you.
It's not because my love for you is fragile.
We're just parting ways because we can't be together.
I can't ask you to turn away from your mother.
Let's run away.
You know I can't do that.
Little by little...
Let's wait for time to pass us by.
We'll know we're living under the same sky.
And we'll remember that we looked at the sunset,
held hands, and basked in the warmth.
Then after some time,
when the elders feel sorry, and give us permission,
come find me.
You know where to find me.
I'll always be right there,
at the same place waiting for you.
Looking at the sky isn't enough.
Knowing you're waiting for time to pass will drive me crazy.
Don't.
You know I'll be waiting for you,
so hang in there.
Do it for our love.
It's late.
Let's go home.
Go on ahead.
Are you trying to die writing your dissertation?
That won't happen.
Want to go out for a drink?
No.
You look like you're about to faint at any moment.
I'm really tenacious.
Even he said I...
Is there no other way?
Find a way.
You miss him so much.
But you shouldn't waste your effort trying to forget him.
Use that effort to find a way to be together.
I can't do that to his parents.
It's better to just bear it.
How can you drink every day?
You'll become a drunkard at this rate.
I'm going to my room, Father.
Is that the same cold-blooded Gang-suk keeling over for a girl?
It doesn't take much to ruin a person.
He's struggling to forget her, so I can't stop him.
You must hate me too.
No, but I feel sorry for you.
You have your reasons.
But I feel sorry for them for accepting this helpless situation.
Jeong Hyun-gyu.
Hello.
I heard you went on a trip.
What happened to you?
I walked around like crazy.
You and Professor Ha are killing me.
A reward for staying with me after sunset.
You're getting into this.
Thank you.
And you should be.
You're the first woman I've ever made coffee for.
Why'd you do that?
I even confessed your feelings for your sake,
so you shouldn't have given up so easily.
Was the trip difficult?
Why are you doing this to me?
I made my mind up and walked until I passed out.
I had to give up, no matter what.
Nothing's changed, Hyun-gyu.
Have a seat. I'll make you some tea.
That night, I heard what you said to my brother,
what you said about resembling him
for the sake of being the bridge that I had to cross.
That's what I am to you as well.
I was just a storm passing your way.
So just pass me by.
Hold him back.
I am. I won't let him leave my heart.
It hurts, but I feel relieved.
I'm not the dead person I used to be.
So Hyun-gyu, just turn away and move on.
You crossed your bridge too.
Little by little...
Let's wait for the time to pass us by.
We'll know we're living under the same sky.
And after some time,
when the elders feel sorry and give us permission.
Come find me.
I'll always be right there.
I didn't expect you to be here during lunchtime.
Sign this and send it back, please.
We're strangers now, so I'll keep up the formalities.
How is she doing?
She's coping for the sake of her elders.
Are you eating well?
You look rather frail.
You two are sure alike.
Even after I took over the company,
she asked me if I was eating well.
What a fool.
Right, so I asked her why she was so foolish.
You couldn't even persuade your mother, you punk?
You made me lose it.
Today's the last day.
I can start anytime now.
My mother will bring you the marriage letter later on.
Okay.
Sorry for the interruption.
No, I was on the way out.
I feel sorry for Gang-suk.
He sure doesn't look like he's eating well,
but he asked me how Dan-ah was doing.
I feel terrible.
Soo-young.
Are we going to let them be?
There's nothing we can do. Dan-ah wants to get over him.
It's not because she wants to.
Let's send them off someplace.
Dan-ah wouldn't do that.
I feel terrible getting married
while they're withering away every day.
We can't just let Hyun-gyu be.
But he doesn't want to go to the hospital.
You didn't know Hyun-gyu came back?
You're early.
I got off early to receive the marriage letter.
Jin-ah.
You mean "Sister."
I'll call you that when we move in.
What will I gain from that?
I met the landlord grandma.
It's good we conserved water.
Why?
She'll give us back our deposit.
Really?
She'll have it ready for us tomorrow.
That's great, Mal-soon.
That money, Sister...
I thought you didn't want to call me that yet.
Sister.
Stop it.
Let's split it between us.
Mal-soon.
Don't refuse my generosity.
Mal-soon.
We should buy our husbands' suits, blankets,
and vanities as gifts.
You don't have to...
Just do as I ask, Sister. And don't refuse.
Thank you forever, Mal-soon.
I'm grateful, Sister.
I can do this alone, so you can go to school.
But you can't pull the thread through the eye of the needle.
I can have Jo-man help me.
Welcome home.
Hello.
What are you doing?
I'm embroidering for my brothers.
Don't bother.
Don't make Dan-ah do this, Grandmother.
But I volunteered to.
Stop it.
I'm making this in the hope that all goes well for my brothers.
Please let me.
Go deliver them. Please go with her.
I'm only dropping them off.
I can go alone, Father.
She's always been the escort, so go with her.
I'll translate this for you.
We're grateful for your permission.
So we're sending you the Four Pillars.
Please set a proper date for the wedding.
Yes.
You'll be setting the date,
and it can't be on any holiday.
You have to pick a day with a high chance of conception.
As you've seen, our family's quite different.
But the time will come
when you'll be able to accept that as a blessing.
So don't just think we're old-fashioned...
Not at all.
That's not what we think at all.
I'm in awe as to how
a fool like Tae-young is from such a good family.
I like that you're lively,
but you need to address your husband with some manners.
I'm sorry.
I'm always dealing with darn thugs, so my speech is...
Sorry.
I like your toughness.
I guess if worst comes to worst,
you can beat your husband for a lesson.
What's wrong with me?
I bet they think I'm a freak.
Why'd you say goodbye five times?
I wonder.
I made that grandma turn back so many times.
Yes.
Yes, this is Oh Jin-ah.
Okay, goodbye.
Who's that?
It's the hospital.
They want me to check the results of the check-up myself.
Go ahead then. You won't have time later.
Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes infertility.
Uncle.
What if Gang-suk is addicted?
We should put him in rehab.
Go to sleep.
Hye-joo's not home yet.
She's not home?
No.
At this hour?
I'll call her.
Hye-joo, where are you right now?
You can't stay out overnight because of a boyfriend.
Let me talk to her.
My friend's very ill.
What's that got to do with you not coming home?
Your friend doesn't have family?
No, they moved to a different country.
Are you with a guy? Answer me!
No, Father.
You can't stay out overnight, so come home now!
Father, just for today...
Come home or I'll disown you!
What are you doing?
How long have you been here?
Since this afternoon.
I was knocked out.
I didn't even know you were here.
Are you all right?
I feel much better now.
Go on home.
I made you some porridge.
I just followed instructions I found on the internet,
so enjoy.
Thank you.
I'd like to escort you home, but I'm really worn out.
Bye.
I won't forget...
...that I had a good friend by my side when I crossed the river.
Why aren't you sleeping?
I heard you came home drunk, and you're still drinking?
I haven't had enough.
I'll go to sleep soon, so please get some rest.
Let me get you a snack.
It's all right.
You must hate me...
...for bugging you with things like fortune.
But I'm just uneducated and stubborn.
Mother.
I'm sorry for saying that I was ashamed of you.
You know I said that out of anger.
I've never been ashamed of you or Father.
If you can't change your mind, then I'll just bear it.
Don't drink too much.
I know your dream is to be a mom.
But if you marry me, you can't become a mom.
I have a problem. I can't have a child.
But I still want to hold you back.
Can we live together relying only on each other?
I thought yesterday was your last day.
What's wrong, Miss Jin-ah?
Did something bad happen?
Jin-ah.
Tell me what's wrong.
Why would you...
Why would you lie for my sake?
What are you talking about?
How can I marry you?
So you found out. I was hoping you wouldn't.
I did that so we could be together.
I thought it was strange that you rushed the marriage.
It's not what you think.
You felt sorry that I couldn't have a child.
That's not it.
You mean more to me than a baby.
Can't you tell how I feel?
Yes.
Soo-young told Grandfather that he had a problem.
I tried to stop him, knowing how important children are,
but he was adamant.
He wanted to keep it a secret between the two of us.
I can't marry him.
Miss Jin-ah.
He's a firstborn.
No, even if he weren't, I can't be selfish.
That's not what love is about.
He doesn't mind. Doesn't his opinion matter?
I can't do this.
Think of how much he wants to be with you.
Eat lunch.
Later.
You're going to skip another meal?
I'll eat later.
You're just going to continue embroidering without eating?
Yes, I am.
You scare me.
I'm not going to bother you, so answer the phone.
I need this at least.
Goodbye.
I'm eating well and sleeping well.
Same here.
Bye.
I want to hold your hand, but I won't.
If I did, I'd want you back again.
What brings you here?
Is Grandfather home?
Yes.
Have some tea.
I'm sorry for stopping by without notice.
I don't mind that from a family member.
I'm curious about why she came.
You don't need to know.
I have to tell you the truth, Grandfather.
Mister lied to you because of me.
He doesn't have a problem, so please forgive him.
So what do you want to do?
I'm grateful that he was willing to marry me the way I am.
And because of that, I can't marry him.
I'm sorry.
I'll take my leave.
Why did you come here?
I was worried about you, after you left like that.
Go back.
Miss Jin-ah.
I really don't care about having a baby.
I met Grandfather.
I told him the truth.
Miss Jin-ah.
So leave, Mister.
I'm sorry, Grandfather.
I know you can't forgive me.
I was willing to end the family line,
but please find it in your heart to understand me.
For the first time in my life,
I only cared about what I wanted.
And in the process, I made a grave mistake.
Grandfather.
If you want me to leave the family, I will.
She has no one in the world,
and she can't even have her own child.
I can't leave her.
Sit.
I called you two here
because this matter shouldn't be discussed in the house.
Young lady.
Yes.
Do you know why I called you here?
You're the only match for him.
There are a lot of main families in Korea.
Some even have hundreds of years of history.
Do you think every single one preserved the bloodline?
There are a few, but not every family is blessed.
At times a family would resort to adoption.
They chose a bright child from a distant relative's family.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I mean that main families aren't always preserved by bloodline.
Kindred people can live together as a family.
So I decided to accept you into my family.
You told me something you could've kept secret,
so your honesty impressed me.
Grandfather.
Please do your best as the head housewife of my family.
Lead by example.
Yes, I'll try my best.
Thank you, Grandfather.
What do you mean you're leaving?
I'm leaving the company in your hands and brothers'.
Director Lee.
My father doesn't care for management, so don't worry.
Is it because of my daughter?
You're known for making rational judgments.
I'm sure you can draw the line.
I know you're suffering,
but you shouldn't disappoint your father.
Father, I am making a rational decision.
I can't be much help in my condition.
I don't want to be a part of the company
you all worked so hard to protect
if I can't give it my all.
I understand what you're saying.
But can you please give it some more time?
Time won't change anything. That's why I'm leaving.
I'll come back after I get over myself.
I'm home.
You didn't drink tonight?
No.
Thank you.
Where's Mother?
She's in bed.
She's suffering as much as you are.
I know.
Go to your room.
Gang-suk came home sober.
He hadn't been drinking?
I think he's over it.
Dan-ah.
Yes, Father.
Director Lee...
...is leaving for the United States.
You should see him before he leaves.
Yes.
I heard you were leaving.
Are you really leaving?
I am.
Please see me before you go.
You will, right?
Why are you leaving?
Because I can't stay here.
I know I can run back to you anytime.
And I probably will.
And then I'll feel frustrated about us not being together.
I'll beg you to let us go back to the times
when we were putting on a show.
And that'll only make you feel worse.
Still...
If I asked you to stay, would you?
Would you still leave?
I have to go.
If I were to stay,
you wouldn't come for me if I asked you to.
But if we're far apart, then you might come for me.
By the time I can't take it anymore,
you might be feeling the same way.
So come for me when that time comes.
I don't know how long it'll be.
I'll bear it for as long as I can.
If I feel like I'm going to die,
then I'll call you.
Please come for me then.
Don't think about anything.
Just come for me, before I die from being without you.
Gang-suk!
I'm leaving next week.
You're going to leave us behind?
I'd only torment you if I stayed.
I'll go and study some more.
No.
Don't leave me.
I'm leaving, Father.
It's okay if you make us suffer.
Just don't leave.
You know I won't change my mind.
Gang-suk.
He's not going to come back!
Please take good care of Mother and Father.
Gang-suk.
Please keep up with your treatments.
Don't go.
This is my only way out.
Please don't go!
They can't live without you.
They'll have you.
What about Sister?
Please take good care of our parents.
I'm leaving them in your care.
Gang-suk.
I'm putting a big burden on Hye-joo by leaving.
I'm sorry to ask you this after all you've done,
but please stay by Hye-joo's side.
After I leave, please take care of her.
And make sure she keeps up with her treatments.
I know she'll do as you ask.
I'm sorry this is how things had to end.
Shouldn't you take Professor Ha with you?
This was supposed to be delivered by your friends,
but we didn't want to make a commotion.
So you boys deliver it yourselves.
How nice!
What's going on?
Yes?
These gifts are so shoddy for a chaebol family.
Hey, open your box.
Maybe it's different for the head housewife.
Hers is the same.
How can rich people be so stingy?
Mom.
Be quiet.
What kind of family sends these kinds of gifts?
I told you not to come and embarrass me.
These gifts are more embarrasing!
Excuse me.
It's traditional to send a skirt and simple gifts.
And who keeps such old-fashioned traditions?
It's a custom in our family.
Exactly.
What stingy people!
Enough, Mom!
This is too much!
Even middleclass families send jewelry.
Soo-young.
Is it called Yeseoh?
Yes.
A book called Yeseoh states that
sending over three gifts is a waste.
Who cares about such an old custom?
That trinket is an heirloom
that was passed on from my grandmother to my mother.
It's more valuable than most jewelry.
But this is the time when she's supposed to receive gifts.
I promise you, Mother.
I'll buy her a lot of jewelry eventually.
So Mother, please bear with us for now.
Thank you for everything.
Is this the only way?
Yes, I'm a sorry excuse for a guy.
Sorry to ruin the mood before your big day tomorrow.
Please take care.
Yes.
He can't stand being without Dan-ah.
I'm sorry to cause you so much concern.
I'll keep your position open.
You're welcome back anytime.
I'll take my leave.
I feel bad for those two, but let's be positive.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Maybe they can forget each other.
Do you really think they can?
Have a seat.
Again?
I'm so nervous.
Let me get you some water.
What do I do?
Please calm yourself down.
I'm trying.
You can do it, Mal-soon.
I told you not to come.
I'll be outside.
Father.
See your mother before you go.
Mother, I'm leaving.
Please take care.
Please have a seat here.
Here?
I'm surprised that the twins have the good fortune
to be in a double wedding.
They must've been very close in a previous life.
I have something to say, Grandfather.
Subtitles by K B F D
I'm so happy for my sons and their brides.
Are you really leaving? How can you be so cruel?
Look what he's doing.
I don't need to do that for you.
You were wasted on our first night...
I can't sleep because I'm so nervous.
I'll drink and go to sleep.
Why are you sleeping here?
I'm cruel, aren't I?
You're doing great.
Am I?
You've done so much for me,
so I have to do something in return.
What's wrong with you?
I can't smile.
Are you really leaving?
