It's already past ten.
I guess he can't come home tonight either.
Is she waiting outside for him again?
She even waited for him past midnight yesterday.
I'm worried about her health.
She hasn't been eating since Gang-suk left for the investigation.
Tell her to come inside.
I already did, but she wouldn't budge.
Gang-suk won't be prosecuted, will he?
Dan-ah.
The housekeeper made some porridge for you.
I'm not ill or anything. I'm okay.
Let's go inside.
You've hardly been eating.
I don't mean to make my elders worry,
but I don't have an appetite.
You released the stocks purchased from Mr. Kim Sun-Tae,
and forced their value to plummet.
I had to sell them to get capital for the company I was operating.
Fund managers Jeong In-ho and Park Joo-sung
purchased big amounts of Myeongseong's stocks.
Was that negotiated between the two parties?
By that time,
Myeongseong's management problems hit the surface.
So I was quick to sell off the stocks.
They must've reached the same decision I did.
So you sold the stocks you had just purchased at a much lower rate?
I was willing to take a bit of a loss.
Let's get you something to eat.
Housekeeper.
Yes, Mrs. Lee.
Let's eat.
Please, just have a little bit of food.
I'm sorry to make you worry, Mother.
Yes, Soo-young?
Is Gang-suk still not home?
No.
Are you all right?
I'm just fine.
Please tell the elders not to worry about me.
I will.
Dan-ah.
Yes.
Everything will be all right.
Take care.
Still not home?
No.
Gang-suk's still being interrogated.
Dan-ah would've told us if he'd come home.
Brother.
I'm sure they'll release him by tomorrow.
If not, he must be facing prosecution.
He'll be back by tomorrow.
Go get some rest.
Tonight's the last night we'll spend apart in our lifetime.
Right?
What are you doing?
I'm going to do the laundry.
Don't. Just get yourself some rest.
Mrs. Lee, please get Dan-ah to take a rest.
She just won't give herself a break.
Ask her to take it easy.
I tried, but she just wouldn't listen.
She's keeping herself busy to forget her worries.
Ha Dan-ah, I love you.
I love you so much.
Thank you.
As you know, the inheritance tax came about
because of family-run corporations.
Do you know when I feel like an incompetent prosecutor?
It's when I can't bring those who are corrupt to justice.
I remind myself that the law's not perfect
since it was made by human beings.
And human beings are not perfect by nature.
I have this phrase framed on my desk.
With money, all sins are forgiven.
My job is to bring justice to those with that mindset.
Mr. Lee Gang-suk.
Yes.
Do you know why I'm saying this?
I do.
Whenever I interrogate people like you,
those who'll slip through loopholes in the law,
I feel incompetent.
But I won't give up.
It's my duty to push for a law that has no loopholes for the corrupt,
and to support the cause of the law.
I don't know if I'll be prosecuted or not,
but I know what I've done wrong.
I've wronged the people who live their lives respecting the law.
You're a first.
All of the others looked at me condescendingly without remorse.
Mr. Lee Gang-suk.
Yes.
I hope this is the last time I see you in here.
You may return home.
I asked myself as I was walking out from the interrogation,
Should you go back?
Should you go back to the world after what you've done?
But you've changed.
You won't ever go back to your old ways.
I would've never felt remorse if it weren't for you,
nor how shameful it is to look at the sky with a guilty conscience.
Gang-suk.
I'm sorry.
Welcome back.
Look how frail you've become.
You must've suffered for four days.
Dan-ah hasn't been herself for the past four days either.
I'm relieved to have you back.
Gang-suk was released.
He won't face prosecution.
You can relax now, Father.
What great news for all of us.
Is Gang-suk still sleeping?
Yes, Father.
Should we wake him up for lunch?
I'll let him sleep in.
He must be fatigued. Just let him be.
What time is it?
It's past three.
Why didn't you wake me up?
Should I have?
A troublemaker like me doesn't deserve to sleep in.
It's better to let you sleep for my peace of mind.
I guess I'm really back.
There's my wife talking down to me again.
You should eat.
You want to feed me?
I'll stuff you so you can't go around making trouble.
You're so cute.
Please stop.
That makes me want to bother you more.
I said stop it.
Didn't you hear what I said?
You're cute when you throw a fit.
Hye-joo.
I said stop it.
Why aren't you listening to me?
You're so scary.
I don't want you to bother me in front him.
Hye-joo.
I like him.
So I don't want him to think I'm a flirty girl.
Why didn't you tell me before?
I'm telling you now.
I'm embarrassed.
Don't pat me on the head again, or else.
What would you do?
I'll bite your hand off.
You must really like him a lot.
I was hoping it would work out for us.
There is no "us."
The only person I have feelings for is Hyun-gyu.
That was a bad call to enter the army.
I left thinking Hye-joo was going to stay the same.
I had no idea you'd come into the picture.
Are you all right?
I'm still shaking.
I've never yelled at anyone before.
My heart's beating out of my chest.
Maybe I was too rude.
Wasn't I out of line?
I should've talked nicer.
You could've closed your eyes.
Are you all right, Hye-joo?
Am I dreaming?
You're not dreaming.
Then why's the world spinning?
I'm sorry to cause you concern.
I'm relieved to see you back,
but you've done things to be ashamed of.
I'm sorry, Grandfather.
Please reflect on your actions.
Yes, I realize what I've done wrong,
I won't do such things ever again.
Honey, bring the tofu. Gang-suk served his term.
That's a twisted sense of humor you have.
What a tough crowd.
Dear son, please keep your jokes to yourself.
You don't like tofu, Uncle?
What's wrong with Dad offering you tofu?
Too bad you have to go to the resort tomorrow.
You have to spend another day without Dan-ah.
You're going on a business trip?
The three of us have to head down to the resort.
I have to take her with me.
She begged me to bring her along.
I didn't.
Don't be shy.
It's only natural for you to be with me all the time.
Mal-soon.
I mean honey.
Yes?
Take the day off tomorrow.
I'm bringing my wife along too.
You're such a copycat.
Then I'm bringing mine too.
Honey.
Tell Mother you're taking a leave tomorrow.
Soo-young, I didn't expect that from you.
It's fun to copy other people.
You're still dizzy?
But you even took medicine.
Would you need medicine every time we kiss?
Hey.
Yes?
Next time...
Yes.
Can you ask me before you kiss me?
You really surprised me.
Tell me in advance, so I can prepare myself.
You want me to ask you permission before I kiss you?
Is that weird?
Can I?
Again?
What are they doing?
What were you up to just now?
I can't even ask?
You're so mean.
You have feelings for her?
I do.
Why are you in our car?
I just wanted to be alone with Dan-ah.
We don't really need to take three cars.
But you could've come with Soo-young.
I'm here to make sure you're safe.
What does that supposed to mean?
You might get into an accident trying to kiss Dan-ah while driving.
Tae-young.
Do you have a spy camera installed in here?
Stop it.
Touch me like that again and I'll kiss you.
Pull over.
Why?
I'm going to puke.
Is it morning sickness?
I got in the wrong car.
This is why we should've come with Soo-young.
But he's boring!
I should've stayed home.
Jo-man has to do the housework alone.
Grandmother Sam-wol's been doing all right.
And you deserve a break from all your hardwork so far.
But the head housewife shouldn't slack off.
You're really proud of your title, aren't you?
Being the head housewife is my pride and joy.
What's wrong with him?
Are you all right?
Darn it.
I made him throw up.
What did you do?
I told him Dan-ah's hotter than Julia Roberts.
You said more than that.
He said he'd die of a heart attack.
A heart attack?
He said Dan-ah makes his heart beat out of his chest.
You could've just ignored him.
You and I think alike.
Look how nice the scenery is.
What a life.
While our husbands are working hard,
we're enjoying our coffee.
We really married well.
We sure did.
I wonder if Tae-young's feeling better by now.
He's become more of a crybaby since he married you.
That's his charm though.
I don't mind that he fooled around with girls before.
I can see the reason now that we're married.
And what would that be?
Tae-young's just the type girls chase after.
It's not his fault they were all over him.
I feel nauseated.
Let's be frank.
Of our husbands, Tae-young's the sexiest.
That's not true.
But it's as clear as day.
Soo-young just isn't the sexy type.
But his eyes are really sexy when he smiles.
That's what you think.
But you can't speak for everyone.
And Dan-ah. You know Gang-suk...
What about him?
Grandmother Joo-jeong may think he's handsome,
but I thought he looked like a sissy when I first saw him.
In fact, he looks like a weasel.
Tae-young's the most manly of the three.
Does Gang-suk look like a weasel?
You didn't know?
He does resemble a weasel.
I don't think so.
He does.
And a guy needs a sense of humor.
Who has a better sense of humor like Tae-young?
Gang-suk's really funny.
So is Soo-young.
You're just biased.
Ask anyone on the street who they think is hottest.
Should we?
I really didn't want to say this,
but Soo-young looks much older than Tae-young.
Don't say that.
My husband doesn't look old.
Right, Dan-ah?
Dan-ah, why aren't you answering me?
She doesn't want to hurt your feelings.
It's not that.
I just never thought about whether they looked their age or not.
Tae-young has a better complexion than Gang-suk.
Gang-suk has a good complexion too.
And he has no blemishes.
What's the discussion here?
Honey.
See?
He's the definition of a "fair complexion."
Don't flatter me.
Gang-suk.
Yes.
Does Soo-young look much older than Tae-young?
Sorry?
What's this about?
Mal-soon said you look much older than your age.
But it's the truth.
I told them you're the real man around here.
Right on.
I don't agree with you.
Right?
You just look like a sissy.
That's what I said.
He doesn't look like a sissy.
And a weasel.
I said that too.
Fine.
Let's square off for the bragging rights then.
Finish him.
I got it.
Lose and I'll starve you.
I got this.
Begin.
Tae-young!
You lost to a twig?
One more round. That was a warm-up.
A real man would admit his defeat.
Do you love me?
I do.
Then the final match.
Make me proud.
I will.
Time out.
He needs a rest from the previous round.
Let him take a breather.
Thank you.
Make sure they never call you a sissy again.
I'll put your name on the line.
Show him who's in charge here.
I'll do anything for you.
Who arm-wrestles nowadays?
Shut up.
Soo-young hogged our mother's breast milk.
What excuse do you have regarding Gang-suk then?
His arms are much stronger than they seem.
All set?
Begin!
Lee Gang-suk!
Why are you cheering for him?
So I don't look as bad!
You won.
I'm not feeding you tonight.
Feeding you is a waste.
That goes for you too.
Respect.
You can't even take a few minutes off?
No.
They're so selfish.
They went on a trip,
and left Grandmother and the housework to you?
I'm not complaining.
Jo-man.
That's your problem.
You consider others before you do yourself.
You can't live in this world with that mindset.
That's just my fate.
Why are you still crying?
My life is so unfortunate.
There you go again.
I have to remain single to take care of you.
I didn't ask you to take care of me.
But I can't leave you when you're ill.
I'm not holding you back.
Just get married.
If I were that selfish, I wouldn't be Yoon Jo-man.
What's the matter, Jo-man?
You wouldn't understand.
How tragic it is to be separated from my beloved without a choice.
What is she saying?
Who could understand her tragic fate?
I think I'll resign from the company.
Jo-man will eventually get married,
and considering Grandmother's illness,
I can't leave all the housework to Jin-ah.
Our child is due soon anyway, so I think that's best choice.
But you like your job.
Yes, but I have other responsibilities.
Wouldn't her absence affect the company?
Yes, it'd be tough to lose a talented marketing director like her.
Besides, I doubt she'll be happy being confined to housework.
I'll be just fine.
But there's something called postpartum depression.
If you quit your job and stay home all day doing housework,
I'd be worried about you.
Let's find a way.
Now that we've had dinner, how about a round of go-stop?
Before that, may I say something?
Go on.
I'd like to start dating Hye-joo.
Really?
I'd like to ask for your permission.
Sure thing.
I'd even accept you as my son-in-law.
Hurry up.
What?
Go bring the liquor.
He's a good drinker.
What's your limit?
I'm not sure, but I can hold my own.
Great.
That's what I'd expect from my son-in-law.
Uncle, don't exaggerate.
Nothing's certain until they step on the altar.
Couples can break up.
What are you doing out here?
I put a TV in your room so you wouldn't come out.
Right, stay in your room.
I don't feel welcome in this family.
Did you just notice that?
Anyway, I'm in a great mood.
Let me sing a song.
You're so excited.
He doesn't usually sing unless he's really happy.
Hyun-gyu.
Yes.
Care to join me?
Sure.
Come on up.
I'm really happy today.
Hye-joo's very precious to me.
I'll leave her in your hands.
Treat her nicely.
My wife is the toughest lady here.
Just because I suck at arm-wrestling doesn't mean I'm a loser.
We didn't say anything.
So don't call yourself a loser.
Right, that's not something to be proud of.
Don't make fun of him.
Tae-young just wasn't in top condition today.
How about a ladies' match?
Let's see who's the strongest housewife here.
Are you sure about that?
She's a former handball player.
Fine, let's go at it.
Are you ready, Mal-soon?
Bring it!
Why do we have to arm-wrestle again?
Is it just because you're a sore loser?
Stop calling me a loser.
But you called yourself a loser first.
Did you just call Mother?
I told her we're having a good time.
I remembered.
This one time, Mal-soon threw a cell phone out the window,
and it went way out of the ballpark.
She's so strong.
I threw it over a hundred meters.
Way farther.
It flew at least several hundred meters.
I threw it like this.
And you ran and picked it up for me.
Mal-soon.
You broke my cell phone.
Grandpa.
Come in.
What is it, Dong-dong?
Grandpa.
What's wrong?
I think Great-grandpa's gone senile.
What do you mean?
Why do you say that?
I think he has the same illness as Grandma.
Is he saying strange things?
No, but he's playing with a doll.
I'm proud of myself.
Father.
Yes, what brings you here?
What are you doing?
Are you not feeling well?
I'm fine.
You don't have to hide it from us, Father.
I said I'm okay.
Then...
I'm practicing.
I don't think Young-in resigning from the company is a good idea,
so I'm practicing looking after a baby.
Father.
I've never changed a diaper before,
but I'll get better with practice.
He's so thoughtful.
He cares so much about you.
What's the matter?
She's just touched by Father's love.
Father is practicing changing diapers on a doll
for the sake of our child.
I'll look after the baby when I finish school.
The baby is your elder.
What do you mean?
The baby will be either your uncle or aunt.
So I have to call the baby Uncle or "Aunt"?
Yes.
But I'm older.
Your grandpa's much older than your great-grandma,
but he still calls her "Aunt."
That's unfair.
Live with it.
Are you running away from home?
No, I have to pee.
I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman.
Why are you sorry?
If I had been in good health, I would've saved you the trouble.
Sam-wol.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
I'd want nothing more than your good health,
but that's not something we can control.
There must be a reason why you became ill.
Perhaps it's to teach me the joy of babysitting.
So don't you worry about me.
I feel so marvelous when I look at the night sky.
You said this before.
What stars have we fallen to meet each other?
I didn't say that. It was Nietzsche.
In this broad universe filled with so many stars,
on earth, on this land, out of the crowd,
we found and recognized each other.
How marvelous is that?
I think every relationship is a miracle in its own right.
It would've been nice if you were an astrologist.
Then we'd watch the stars every night,
and remind each other of the miracle we are.
As a would-be astrologist,
let me tell you that the earth is not a star.
It's a planet.
Sorry?
It can't shine on its own.
Is that right?
Can I brag some more?
Do you know why we have sunsets?
They're due to dust.
There's no sunset on the Moon since it doesn't have any dust.
The Sun just disappears, and then the night comes.
Do you know why the night sky is dark?
Because the universe contracts and the stars drift away.
I guess you really did like astrology.
I did a lot of research.
Now you know why the night sky is dark.
So what?
But my husband knew why.
Are you teasing me because I was a bad student?
Did I come off that way?
I heard that somewhere before.
Were you into astrology as well?
I remembered.
That's from a movie.
I recall hearing that line.
So you just got it from a movie?
How lucky of you to have a gullible wife.
My wife has such a good memory.
Aren't I smart?
You are.
I'm so lucky to have such a smart wife.
But my wife is the smartest.
She learned housework so fast.
Soo-young, I'm hurt.
Are you implying that I'm not good at housework?
I didn't mean to sound like that.
This is a luncheon of three fiercely competitive couples.
Soo-young.
Since when did we become so aggressive?
I'm not sure.
I think it started with Gang-suk.
You're blaming it on me?
We got along just fine before you came along.
Your aggressive attitude rubbed off on us.
Tae-young, you're the one who suggested arm-wrestling.
See?
Dan-ah never talked back to me before.
Keep talking back to him. I got your back.
I thought you didn't want to ride with us.
Aren't we too boring for you?
But it's better than throwing up.
Soo-young. Aren't you glad?
Dan-ah's happy.
She's never joked around like that before.
Right, that's why I'm grateful to Gang-suk.
He's the reason she can laugh.
What's up?
Why are you pinching your leg?
I feel sleepy.
Then take a nap. Don't pinch your leg.
You'll hate me for falling asleep while you're driving.
I won't, so go to sleep.
No, I'll prove my loyalty.
I'm sure you're loyal.
You slept just fine when we were dating.
We weren't dating back then.
That was just for show.
You don't bother being loyal when it's just for show?
I know where to draw the line.
I'm worried.
If our kids take after you, they'll talk back a lot.
That's not a problem.
Just watch more movies and copy some comeback lines again.
I surrender.
We're home.
Did you have a good time?
Yes.
Is Father out?
He's sleeping.
At this hour?
See who's next to him.
What's Hyun-gyu doing in there?
They were drinking until early morning.
He was so happy,
so they drank until the sun came up.
What was he so happy about?
Hyun-gyu wanted our permission to date Hye-joo.
Congratulations.
That was sooner than I expected.
I'm happy for you.
What's that?
It's hangover medicine. I'll give it to him later.
Can I have it? I have a hangover.
No.
Would you look at that? Hyun-gyu comes before me.
Are you going to sulk again?
How can I not?
I've lived with her for twenty years,
but she cares more about Hyun-gyu?
Put your hand on your heart.
Like this?
I lived with my brothers for thirty years,
but I talked back to them just for you.
Here's a change of underwear.
Thanks.
Where are you going?
He's going to the sauna with Hyun-gyu.
Let me come.
Can we go by ourselves?
Why?
We're going to have a chat.
Dan-ah, prepare a great dinner for Hyun-gyu.
Okay, Father.
Don't bother him too much.
He'd rather go on dates with Hye-joo than hang out with you.
Is that right?
No, you're great fun.
You heard him.
Let's go.
I feel sorry for Hyun-gyu.
Your father will bug him every day.
Honey.
Yes?
Don't make anything good for dinner.
Just order black bean noodles.
What's your problem?
I'm being neglected since Hyun-gyu came around.
You're so pathetic.
That's old news.
Jo-man went to exchange clothes again?
I'd rather have her get married and move out.
I've had enough of her whining about her tragic fate.
She and Jang-gi are meant to be.
No one's against their relationship,
but they're making drama out of nothing.
Jin-ah.
Here.
Tae-young.
Mal-soon...
I mean my wife broke your cell phone.
So I bought this for you.
You didn't have to.
How do you like it?
It's pretty.
Why did she break your phone?
She's just too tough.
Honey.
Yes.
Can we have a talk?
That's funny.
What is?
Where's that from?
What's going on?
You bought her a new phone?
But I bought her one too.
They're the same model.
I guess you're twins for a reason.
I always break my phone,
so I'll take one if you don't mind.
Here.
Use the phone I bought for you.
Okay.
Your father wants to hire the employees on our cut list
for the Silver Town?
Yes.
We'd like to offer more capable employees another opportunity.
I'm grateful for his generosity,
but that must be quite burdensome.
But we'd like to give them a chance given their past service.
Accept his offer.
They'll work harder given a second chance.
And that'll benefit Mr. Lee in return.
I guess having a wife changes a man.
I would've never expected something like that from him.
That punk used to say, Please make a rational decision.
Manners.
It's my way of showing affection.
I don't mind.
I'm used to his tough love already.
See?
How's your son?
That's great to hear.
I sent this month's hospital bill.
Sorry?
What are you trying to do?
I'm cleaning.
Don't lift something so heavy.
It's not heavy.
That's not heavy? Just what are you?
Back in high school, I did weight training.
You must've been busy.
Handball and weight training.
Just kidding.
You liar.
You came ten minutes earlier than usual.
I was going to wait outside and greet you on time.
I ignored all the traffic lights just to see you sooner.
If you do that again, I'll beat some sense into you.
Understand?
I was just kidding. I had green all the way.
Don't.
I'm right here.
Let me at it.
What the heck?
I told you it was light.
You missed me this much?
I heard from Mr. Lee Kyung-ho.
You visited him at the hospital,
and helped him with his bills.
I have to make up for my past.
I made a wish on our wedding day.
It was to be born as your woman in the next life,
and to be born your woman in every life.
But I don't think another life is necessary.
It can't be better than the life I have now.
Let's sell this place right now.
Come to your senses.
I need a place to live.
I'll buy you a nicer house later.
I really want to run a pool bar.
Help me, Grandma.
When will you grow up?
You've already ruined a business.
Grandma.
Please.
Help me out one more time.
Come on.
How can I rest in peace with that rotten grandson?
He'll come to his senses eventually.
I spoiled him after his parents passed away.
What will he make of himself?
Someone even restored a fallen family's honor,
although he's not linked by blood.
What do you mean, Grandma?
I mean the Jangsaeng Ha family.
The father of the chairman who owns the company was infertile.
It happened when he was taken hostage during the colonial times.
When he returned, his wife was pregnant.
She'd been raped by some gangster.
The family's honor had received quite a blow,
her being the head housewife of the family.
She tried to kill herself several times,
but her husband saved her life every time.
And the baby she bore is the firstborn of that family today.
My mother helped deliver the baby.
But the head housewife ended up committing suicide.
And she wrote her last words in a letter.
She wanted to atone for tainting the family's name with her life.
And that very child, his father raised him on his own.
I'll take that secret to my grave.
Just don't say anything about it.
We'll keep it to ourselves.
My brother...
We won't tell the Chairman.
He'd pass away from shock if he heard that.
We have to keep it a secret from him.
Your family would crumble at the truth.
But if we keep it a secret, there's no problem.
I feel so sorry for my brother.
He's lived on the pride of being the firstborn of the Ha.
I feel so sorry for him.
He spent his whole life restoring the honor of someone else's family.

I'm starting to get morning sickness too.
Mom and Dad have morning sickness.
I wonder what morning sickness feels like.
What is this?
I'm so incompetent.
Why don't we raise Dong-dong's sibling as your own?
Hyun-gyu and Father are teaming up on me.
Let's move out.
I don't want to live with this unfair treatment.
Can I kiss you now?
