Who's your mom?
I'm your mom, Seung Yeon.
Don't call me Seung Yeon.
You've never thought that I'm your daughter.
You're just afraid I'd stand in your way.
Listen to me.
I'm not leaving.
I will stay right here.
If you don't want me here, you should leave.
I'll stay here until I die.
Don't you dare fire me.
I will reveal everything.
That I'm your daughter.
Seung Yeon...
(Episode 37)
The lunch break is almost over.
I guess you're going to be a clock-watcher now.
Don't blame him too much.
All of us are not happy sitting at the desk.
We all wait for lunch and time to go home.
That's the joy of life.
Mother.
Oh, hey.
What brings you here?
That's...
You must've come to see Ms. Kang.
Yes, we ate lunch together.
She showed me around the office.
And I'm on my way home after seeing the office.
I see.
How are you doing?
I'm doing well, Mother.
I've been waiting to hear from you since you came...
last time to have ox-bone soup at my restaurant.
As a matter of fact, I was going to visit you.
Hey, Han Tae Ju.
Who is she?
That's right. Mr. Kim,
Mr. Park, and Ms. Lee, say hello to her.
She is Ms. Kang's mother.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Oh, my.
You must be busy. I'm afraid...
I'm making you even busier.
- Don't say that. - It's all right.
Please don't say that.
Oh, right. How are you going back home?
Me?
Let's go out together. I'll grab a taxi for you.
- Shall we then? - Yes.
Goodbye.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Please go home safely.
I just called a taxi. It'll arrive in a minute.
Thank you.
By the way,
is Mi Ri up to anything...
these days?
Pardon?
Well, it's just...
You know, parents worry about...
their child for nothing.
There's nothing.
She's doing hard with her work.
There's nothing like what you're worried about.
It's good then.
I guess I was worried for nothing.
Well,
please take good care of Mi Ri.
She looks strong on the outside,
but she's really delicate on the inside.
Take good care of her.
I will.
Thank you.
The taxi is here. Wait a second.
Goodness.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors.
- What was that? - What?
I quit drinking.
Then just pay the bill without drinking.
Don't lie.
- What are you saying? - Fried chicken and beer.
- Focus on work instead. - You reek of alcohol.
- Gosh. - I have an appointment.
Are you lying now that you have an appointment?
(Keep right)
Your mother left.
Tae Ju.
I called a taxi for her.
What's going on?
Your mother looked concerned too.
Is your family up to something?
It's not that.
Ms. Kang.
It's hard to understand.
Every day, you're up to something...
which I don't even know.
Why is it so hard to get to know you?
I'll tell you later.
Give me a break for now.
I'm struggling so much that it's killing me.
All right.
Take a rest.
- You're here, Sun Ja. - Hi.
- Hello. - Hi.
Can you give me a cup of cold water?
Okay.
Are you coming back from somewhere?
This is good enough.
- Sun Ja. - Why are you asking me...
so many questions these days?
I went to see Mi Ri, what?
To see her? Why all of a sudden?
I'm her mom, so I can go see her whenever I want.
I had lunch with her.
I see. Good job.
After what happened,
you guys should meet up often...
to be affectionate each other again.
"After what happened"? What do you mean?
What on earth are you talking about?
It's good as long as you enjoyed your lunch.
Oh, right. Didn't you say...
Mi Ri's birth mom works at her company too?
What about it?
Goodness.
You should've been careful.
You are unbelievable.
Why should I be careful...
about going to see my daughter?
And what's there for Mi Ri's birth mom...
to be careful?
That's what you think.
Other people won't.
Mi Ri's birth mom is famous.
Paparazzi take her photos to post them online.
What if reporters find out...
she's working with her daughter?
It will cause trouble then.
This is ridiculous.
She should just admit to it...
if people gossip about them.
It's nothing to be troublesome.
Besides, Mi Ri isn't a fool or an idiot.
She should be happy to boast...
about her smart and pretty daughter.
Why would it cause trouble?
Mi Ri is smart and pretty,
but that's another issue.
And why did she never come to see her...
if she was willing to boast about Mi Ri?
She would've come a long time ago.
So you should've thought carefully...
before deciding to go to Mi Ri's workplace.
Shut it.
I don't want to hear your nonsense.
I mean, even after all those years,
Mi Ri is still her daughter.
- But... - Shut it.
Stop with your nonsense.
Don't you dare jinx it again,
or I won't let you get away, got that?
Gosh, okay.
What's with you, Jae Bum?
What, can't I sign a contract with them?
Does it have to be only you?
A dramatist can publish a book too.
That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about your foul intention.
What about my intention?
Are you kidding me?
When will you stop following me around?
I told you there's nothing between us.
And even before then,
we never kissed or did anything like that.
What is wrong with you?
What is it?
This is enough, Mi Hye.
You hit me all the time.
You know, it's a habit of yours.
Do you think I'm a pushover...
just because I don't say much about it?
My gosh. Are you scaring me now?
Right.
Please be scared of me already.
You can't treat me like a pushover all your life.
And what's so important about physical affection?
What matters is that I stayed by your side.
Mi Hye.
Put your hand on your heart...
and look back on your youth.
Think about the man who was next to you.
What, "the man"? Are you serious?
Jae Bum, you think you are a man to me?
Do you really think so?
Do you have a crush on Mr. Kim Woo Jin?
What are you saying?
Why are you having hiccups all of a sudden?
Jae Bum.
It's not true.
No, right?
No.
All right, then.
No.
All right, so stop hiccuping.
Are you really not going to sign the contract?
He punched me and kidnapped Dol Dam.
I can't sign any contract with such a man.
I'm not crazy.
Of course, you should.
He'll get us money.
You should never reject this offer.
You'd be a fool if you do.
No.
We've got to publish Ms. Kang's book.
We need another means...
to earn money during that time.
Woo Jin.
It's good that you want to follow your father's way,
but rookie writers aren't moneymaking.
I've read Mr. Bang's proposal.
There's nothing much to edit.
We'll contact a designer to come up with a design,
and it will cost less than...
a 10th of the average promotion cost.
We'll earn money by working with Mr. Bang...
while Ms. Kang writes her book.
You get to nurture...
the rookie writer as your father's way.
It's perfect.
Go on your outside work while I'm being nice.
I won't let this go this time.
I won't give in.
I have shares of this company too.
Whatever, I'm signing the contract with him.
Woo Jin!
I'm heading outside with Da Bin.
Mom.
I said I'm heading outside with Da Bin.
How dare she talk back to me?
She got drunk and said what to me?
"Why are you so darn mean, Mother?"
How dare she talk like that?
I've never seen such bad manners.
And then what?
How could she yell back at me...
instead of begging for forgiveness?
How dare she yell back at an elder?
Couldn't her mother teach her better?
I can't believe she's my daughter-in-law.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
Will you stop it?
That goes for you too.
What about me?
Your wife of 40 years is angry...
because her son's wife yelled at her.
You should've gone over there...
and told her off,
not read the papers all day.
What could I say to her?
Do you want me to get involved in your mess?
Should we as parents-in-law...
move as one and go to our daughter-in-law...
and scold her like crazy?
Is that what you'd call an organized household?
That will just make things worse.
Just let it go.
I'm looking after her kid.
She should thank me,
not yell at me because I yelled at her.
It works out.
Say I won't look after Da Bin anymore.
- What? - Why should I?
Should I care for her kid when I get mistreated?
I won't care for Da Bin anymore.
She can call her mom or hire a babysitter.
It's up to her.
She has no manners at all.
Is a child a piece of luggage?
A shipment?
Dad.
- I'm glad we met. - What?
What's Mi Sun doing now?
She won't say a single word.
She's just cleaning up.
How's Mom?
Why even bother to ask?
She's furious.
Grandpa.
Are Mom and Grandma fighting because of me?
Because I'm hard to look after?
- No. - No, Da Bin.
- It's not that. - It's not that.
Why would you say that?
No one would fight because of you.
Then what is it?
Why do Mom and Grandma...
always say, "Da Bin, Da Bin"?
That darn woman.
She embarrassed me to face the kid now.
Da Bin. It's not that.
What's happening is...
It's like...
So it's like...
Shall we go for jajangmyeon?
Jajangmyeon?
Yes, why not?
Dad, do you have your wallet?
Why do we have to suffer when the two women fight?
You moron.
You should've been good to Mi Sun from the start.
You always want to hit me.
You shouldn't have upset Mom the way you did.
What did I do to upset her?
You teased her with that bikini.
You went too far.
And if you think about it,
you speak too harshly to Mom.
I call her an old woman because she's old.
What else?
Should I say, "honey, my sweet"?
Or "Ms. Kim"?
Anyway, try not to upset her too much.
You watch your own self.
What should we do now?
Hey.
Let's rent a place for the three of us.
What?
Let's rent a place and live together.
I'll look after Da Bin.
You can't take care of her.
A lot of grandpas these days look after...
their grandkids.
It's a trend.
Even if it is a trend,
do you think Mom will let that happen?
She and Mi Sun are fighting for control.
And if it goes on for too long,
Mi Sun will feel bad.
We must find a permanent...
and sustainable solution to this problem.
How can we find that solution?
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E37 'Mother of Mine' "Mi Sun & Mi Ok's Conflict" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Where's the ox-bone soup?
It's coming.
- Here you go. - Okay.
- More radish kimchi. - Sure.
- Just a moment. - Here's your soup.
Sit over here.
That's a total of three.
Okay, just a moment. Here's the radish kimchi.
Three more.
The receiver cannot be reached, please...
What do you want, Mi Sun?
What are you doing?
I'm writing. Why?
Mom's not answering her phone.
She must be at work. It's their peak hour.
Call her later.
Okay.
So, what are you doing?
I told you already that I'm writing.
Is this how you take my call...
when I called you in a while?
You obviously called because you need a sitter.
What's up with your mother?
Kang Mi Hye.
Do you have a conscience?
Mom and I almost raised Da Bin for six years.
Now I'm finally getting started,
and you want me to watch her again?
Mi Hye.
Just for tomorrow.
Just for one day.
No, I can't.
The brat.
What are you doing? Let go of me.
Just do as I say.
Yes.
I know how you feel.
I was your mom, but I abandoned you,
then showed up after 30 years.
Now I want you to leave and you would be upset.
You'll feel angry...
and betrayed.
But...
what kind of mom do you want me to be?
What do you mean?
As you know and can see,
I'm not like your aunt.
I'm not like the mom who raised you.
I know that.
You're very different from her.
Do you...
want me to be like her?
She keeps her kids close...
and worries about them at every turn,
and cares for nothing else for the entire life.
Is that what you want?
Is that bad?
Isn't that how all moms feel?
So what then?
What can the mom who raised you do for you now?
Can she send you to study abroad?
Can she make you successful?
She can only worry and care about you...
and shed tears of gratitude for your salary.
You'll feel like you're a good daughter.
You'll think you're successful.
But apart from thinking you're her pride and joy,
what good is that for you?
Watch your language.
I got to stand where I am because of her love.
Don't you think life's that easy.
Why are you still talking...
about parental love at your age?
I apologize...
for not being there for you when you were young.
But...
like someone said, the world is a big place,
and there's a lot of things to do.
Do you want to stop here?
Do you think you can go further than...
Hansung Apparel's General Manager of Marketing?
The glass ceiling still exists for women.
If you stay here,
the company will use you just until you marry.
How different will you be from your sister Mi Sun?
I can't believe...
what you're saying now.
What about Mi Sun?
Be ambitious.
Don't go for adequate success,
an adequate marriage,
and an adequately good daughter and mom.
Live with great ambition.
Live like Hillary Clinton.
Don't you...
want to study at Ivy League?
Don't you want the whole world to be your stage?
You don't want to succeed and be in the Times?
I can help you make it happen.
I can help you with everything you want...
and support you for all that.
I'm a mom who can do all that.
Isn't it what you want?
So...
are you saying...
you're a better mom than my mom?
How brazen you are.
What's so hard to understand?
Are you a girl in puberty?
Why are you acting perverse?
Then why did you say all this to me...
when I don't even understand what you say?
"Wait a little more."
"Just wait a little bit, and I'll come back."
Puberty?
What did you do while I was going through puberty?
Were you staying with me?
How dare you say puberty to my face?
I guess she spoiled you,
so you're just like a little kid.
You were just a smart student.
But you don't even know what really matters.
Just...
say sorry.
Just...
beg my pardon.
Why would I?
It's not like something is wrong with you.
You turned out so well.
While I was away,
I, Jeon In Suk, became...
the best CEO in Korea.
You. Don't get cute with me.
What do you know about life?
As time passes...
and you grow older,
I'll be a mom who's a lot more useful...
than Park Sun Ja who just raised you.
So listen to me.
Go abroad.
It will be...
better for you.
Don't forget...
that I'm your birth mom.
Actually, earlier today,
I went to the CEO's office.
The company knows...
about us.
So?
What's wrong about that?
It's not like we did something wrong.
It's not that we harassed others...
or harmed the company.
Right. It's not our fault.
I mean, it's not your fault at all.
It's me who made the choice.
It's my fault too.
I hit on my boss.
Don't worry.
If something happens, I'll take care of it.
I'm your boyfriend.
I'm Kang Mi Ri's lover.
Just let me take care of everything.
But...
Ms. Jeon won't leave us alone.
She's like a poisonous snake.
She's as cold as ice.
I really hate her.
I can't stand a moment with her.
When she's around, I feel suffocated...
and nauseated.
I just don't understand...
how she got all the way there as a human being.
No wonder...
why she's a concubine of Hansung Group.
What's so great about her life?
She's no different.
She's no different from a barmaid.
So I'll work my way up on my own.
I'll be different from her.
I'll make it to the top with my own capabilities.
You'll see, Tae Ju.
That's my dream.
It was three years ago.
It was the hottest summer...
since 1994.
Mom forced us...
to put on some Hanbok...
and impersonate some sister band.
Mom.
Why do we have to go to your distant cousin's...
70th birthday party?
Of course, we have to.
She's taken good care of us...
after your dad passed away.
I could sell hundreds of bowls of ox-bone soup...
as she brought a lot of customers.
You're just ungrateful.
But this is ridiculous.
Are we a sister band or something?
You could've gotten us better Hanbok.
What is this?
I'm not even 30, but look at my hair.
Mom, are you trying to sell me or something?
Mi Hye, stop it.
You were just excited to go to a hotel buffet.
Mi Sun, just stop complaining.
Gosh, what's that?
You'll chant a narrative song or something?
Why are your lips so red?
You'll chant a narrative song.
That's why I'm bringing you guys.
Hey, if my three daughters will stand in line...
and sing a song together there,
my cousin will be so happy.
- Mom! - Mom!
- Mother. - Hey, Jae Bum.
Jae Bum, what are you doing here?
Mother asked me...
to host the birthday party today.
Mom!
My gosh.
It's driving me crazy.
Whenever I write about my family,
there's Jae Bum everywhere.
No.
Okay. I should start over.
I'll start over from the beginning.
Again. Again.
I'm sorry so early in the morning.
It's okay. My daughter is getting ready too.
Min Ji, Da Bin is here.
Da Bin, come on in.
Wait inside for a while...
and take the kindergarten bus with Min Ji, okay?
Yes.
Da Bin, play with Min Ji...
and go to kindergarten.
Okay?
Yes.
I'm so sorry.
It's really okay.
You can take your time after work too.
Min Ji and Da Bin will play together.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome. See you.
Let's go.
- Bye. - Bye.
Gosh, I just can't poop.
Mom, I'm home.
What are you doing here so early in the morning?
My gosh.
I came because you just left like that yesterday.
Mom. How could you...
leave like that before I came?
It's not like I wanted to leave.
Your temper is just out of control.
As soon as I said it,
you just went running to your birth mom.
What's wrong with your temper?
So did you fight with your birth mom?
Yes. I told her not to try...
any of her petty tricks.
- "Tricks"? - Yes.
You're still so immature.
What kind of mom would try a petty trick to her kid?
Even a mean mom...
would never play a trick...
on her kid no matter what.
She did all that for your sake.
Like your birth mom said,
you could study abroad...
and become more successful.
I don't want to.
I just want to stay here with you.
If you're not going abroad, just get married.
There you go again.
I came all the way here to see you,
but I can't do this. I have to go.
Come here. Your hair looks weird.
Did you blow-dry your hair in the morning?
Blow-dry? Yes. I did.
Your hair got all tangled.
It's all burnt and tangled up.
Come closer to me.
No, it's okay.
I'll go to a hair salon this week anyway.
You should blow-dry your hair carefully.
What is this mess?
Just stay still.
Why are you complaining as I touch my daughter?
I don't want you to go abroad too.
I can't send my precious daughter away.
And I don't want to give you to someone else.
But...
it's not like I can live with you forever.
It's just greed.
I can't stand in your way.
That's why.
So please be nice to your birth mom.
If you don't, she will blame me for everything.
She's going to say I've raised you wrong.
And that will hurt my pride.
I have nothing to boast of in front of her.
I'm not pretty,
I'm not famous or rich.
You are the only one.
You are the only one...
I can...
boast of.
So please...
do this for me.
Behave yourself to your birth mom.
If you don't,
it will badly hurt my pride.
My goodness.
- My Mi Ri. - Who's going to stop you?
Mom, what's the matter?
What is it?
Go home. Nature is calling.
My goodness.
I must go to the bathroom. It's coming.
- What's coming? - Oh, dear.
- Mom. - I must poop.
Oh, my.
What are you so upset about...
that you were frowning all throughout the meal?
Mr. Chairman.
You stay still.
Are you upset that I say to end your relationship?
Are you seriously not going to do as I say?
From what I know,
there is no rule in the company...
that prohibits dating at the workplace.
Tae Ju.
Goodness.
Who asked you about the office rule?
Think about your place and position in the company!
What about it?
You little rascal.
If you are going to repeat yourself,
I will be leaving.
Mr. Kang...
will be promoted.
She will be promoted as a junior managing director.
I'm going to send her...
under Chairwoman Wang Wei in China.
Father!
Wang Wei is coming to the company today, right?
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
I've entrusted Ms. Kang...
to take care of Chairwoman Wang.
Good job.
The youngest person to be promoted as an executive.
Isn't that Ms. Kang's dream?
I'm going to make your girl's dream come true.
Hey.
Do you want to be a fool,
who stands in the way of a woman?
That's an excellent decision.
Ms. Kang is acquainted with Wang Wei.
Also, she doesn't need an interpreter...
since she can do the business in Chinese.
She knows well about the market.
She is the right person for the position.
I'll assign her until Chinese market settles.
That's going to take a few years at least.
So you should also work as a mere employee...
and do your trivial work.
Ms. Kang is the same kind of person as I am.
She doesn't care about a small fry like you.
Her own career is more important to her.
I'm 100 percent sure she will accept my offer.
Just wait and see.
Then I'll go with her.
What? You little... You're going too far!
How dare a mere employee follow who to where?
It's not a place for you to go.
I'm not going there as a Hansung Apparel employee.
I'm going to quit the company...
and go with her, Mr. Chairman.
(Episode 38 will air shortly.)
(My Prettiest Daughter in the World)
I don't...
only like Ms. Kang as a woman.
But I like and respect her as my boss.
I want to learn more from her.
Where else can I meet such a competent boss...
like her?
You dumbhead!
Is the company a joke to you?
How dare you disdain successor training...
just because I've danced to your tune?
You and Mother is not the reason...
that I entered Hansung Apparel.
I didn't enter to become a successor all the more.
I've entered this company to learn properly.
And fortunately, I met Ms. Kang.
Thanks to her,
I've learned more things with a lot of joy.
So I'm going to go with her and learn more.
Seriously, you little...
Thank you for such a decision.
I will take it as that.
I will be going then.
Hey!
Stop right there!
You punk!
Please calm down. I'll go after him.
Gosh!
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Why are you acting up?
She is out of your league.
She is way out of your league.
Why are you being so stubborn?
You're disappointing me a lot lately.
You were not this kind of person, were you?
You didn't classify people...
by their social classes.
Tae Ju.
Whether he is a butler or a driver,
you were very nice to them.
You treated them with much respect.
I grew up watching you and I used to respect you.
But why...
Why are you so concerned about Ms. Kang's class?
I don't understand.
Those people are just acquaintances.
But you are not...
treating Ms. Kang as a mere acquaintance.
How deep are you going to drag this relationship?
What do you want to do with Ms. Kang?
Welcome.
It's nice to see you again, Chairwoman Wang.
It's also nice to see you again.
Ms.Kang, you look prettier than the last time.
Thank you.
This way, please.
Are you the only employee in this company?
How come every man is tagging at your heels?
It's just that I'm the person in charge of China.
Ms. Jeon will be here soon.
All right. Let's go.
This way, please.
We all should learn...
social skills from Ms. Kang.
Ms. Jeon used to hate her so much.
But she entrusted Wang Wei to Ms. Kang.
China is her specialty.
Her gamble paid off.
Do you know?
On the executive examination next week,
Ms. Kang is...
the strongest candidate...
of the junior managing director.
- What are you saying? - Are you sure?
Yes, they've arranged this personnel appointment...
just for her.
Good for her.
Then she will be...
the first woman Junior Managing Director.
Don't we have to prepare a party...
for Ms. Kang beforehand?
Of course.
I'm going to sponge her off.
And we will be free from the next day.
Hey, Han Tae Ju. What are you thinking?
Nothing.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were there.
Goodness.
Why did you come in without knocking the door?
I'm sorry.
Didn't you go home last night?
No.
Why?
Isn't it uncomfortable sleeping here?
You didn't eat properly either.
You could ruin your health.
I had something to think over.
Oh, I have a question for you.
Put them down and have a seat for a second.
Okay.
What's your relationship with Mr. Bang?
What?
Don't mind what I'd think, and tell me honestly.
I need clear information before making my stance.
Are you two lovers?
No.
We've never done anything to call ourselves lovers.
We're not lovers.
Is he your ex then?
Well...
It's true that I went out with him before.
But we didn't do anything at that time either.
How should I explain this?
Can I think of you as friends then?
Right, friends.
But it's not quite right to call ourselves friends.
He knows how many spoons we have in our house...
when I don't.
Even the number of aprons.
You are more like friends than lovers...
and more like family than friends.
Is that it?
That's right, family.
Yes, we're like family.
You know what it's like, right?
I know that it's really complicated.
Anyway, I'll think...
you two aren't lovers.
In that sense,
I'm going to sign a contract with him.
Will you be okay with it?
Well, yes.
Wait, what?
Thank you.
Mr. Bang.
Mr. Hwang has called.
He got a contact from an Indian movie company...
about drama re-making.
Tell him that I will make a call in the evening.
- Okay. - Gosh.
You're getting love calls from Bollywood too?
It's nothing impressive.
Drama remakes aren't worth a lot of money.
About 100,000 dollars, perhaps.
I see.
By the way,
will our contract go...
Our contract will go successfully.
Don't worry.
I'm counting on you.
Dol Dam made us friends. Let's not forget that.
Friends.
All right.
But...
I'm here to tell you something honestly.
You don't have to worry so much about...
the relationship between Woo Jin and Ms. Kang.
Woo Jin has too many painful experiences...
to date with someone.
He hardly gives his side especially to women,
so don't worry.
It's not that I can't trust him.
He might think of her like a lovely sister,
but nothing more than that.
It's not him that I'm concerned about.
It's Mi Hye.
What?
It's just...
that I know Mi Hye...
down to her bone.
Even more than her mom knows her.
I don't understand.
In that sense,
I'd like to make an additional condition.
An additional condition?
Go on.
I want a desk in your office too.
A desk?
But you already have such a decent office.
Yes. Get an extra desk for me like you order...
an extra bowl of rice at a restaurant.
I'm going to go to your office every day.
What?
All right, guys. Let's wrap up...
quickly and happily today as well.
- Okay. - Okay.
We can do it.
Mi Sun.
It might take time to find a babysitter you asked.
It's fine as long as you find a nice babysitter.
Of course, I will.
Your mother has got a temper.
Did she stop looking after Da Bin right away?
Yes.
I don't want her to look after Da Bin anyway.
Bring her here again.
Right, she's adorable.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
You thoughtless brats.
I told you, you'd be digging your own grave...
to make your mother look after Da Bin.
Whatever.
Let's wrap up quickly. I need to hurry home.
All right.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi, Mom. - Hi, sweetheart.
Did you have fun?
She had so much fun with Min Ji.
She enjoyed her snack too.
Really? Thank you so much.
It's fine.
We've got to help each other at a time like this.
I'm still so grateful.
Well,
I know it's shameful of me,
but I haven't found a babysitter yet,
so can you look after her one more day tomorrow?
Oh, no. I'm afraid I can't do it tomorrow.
My family is going on a trip to Jeju Island...
with my parents-in-law tonight.
So Min Ji isn't going to kindergarten tomorrow.
I see.
Of course, you should go.
I'm already grateful for what you did today.
Have a safe trip.
I'll see you again then.
Bye, Da Bin.
Mom.
Oh, Da Bin.
Should we go home now?
Let's go.
It's Grandma. Grandma!
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E38 'Mother of Mine' "Tae Ju Proposes to Mi Ri" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Grandma isn't sick anymore?
Well,
I guess she's all better now.
Let's go.
Will you at least act like you're welcoming me home?
Look what you're up to.
Why are you picking a fight again?
Make me not want to pick a fight then.
Do you know where Da Bin went in the morning?
How am I supposed to know?
And why must I know?
I'm sure my stuck-up daughter-in-law...
took care of it on her own.
I wondered how Da Bin was doing...
and went down to sneak a peek.
I saw Min Ji's mom seeing Min Ji and Da Bin off...
to kindergarten.
That's good.
I guess she found the right person.
What, the right person? How can you say that?
Aren't you even ashamed of yourself?
Why should I be ashamed of myself?
Min Ji's mom is our close neighbor.
We greet each other too.
She's well aware...
that Da Bin's grandparents live next building.
She must've thought our family might have...
some kind of problem when Mi Sun asked her...
to look after Da Bin.
I don't care.
You don't care?
She'd wonder how mean...
Da Bin's grandparents are...
that Mi Sun asked her instead of asking them.
Must I repeat myself to make you understand?
What did you say?
"Mean"?
Are you calling me mean just like...
Mi Sun called me mean out of drunkenness?
Why are you yelling?
It's not like my mother showed up or anything.
You're unbelievable. Look.
She said it was because she had a drink.
And that she was sorry for what she told you.
So why would you keep holding a grudge about it?
Shut it.
Whether she had a drink or drugs,
I couldn't sleep for days since that happened.
I feel so resentful and angry.
I'm mad and bitter...
that I had to hear such a thing...
from my own daughter-in-law.
You're my husband,
so how could you even pick on my emotions?
And you call yourself my husband?
And do you think...
I went out to play golf because I wanted to?
I felt like...
my heart was about to explode at home,
so I had to go outside...
because the world wouldn't know...
how my daughter-in-law treats me.
You're not the only one who's that upset.
A mom who has to leave her kid...
with another person is upset too.
Yes, sure, that's great.
You can live with her then.
What?
If you're going to side with Mi Sun on everything,
then live with her.
As of this moment, we're graduating from...
our marriage.
Graduate from what? Our marriage?
Let's not even bother with that.
Let's just get divorced.
Get divorced?
Yes, get a divorce. A divorce.
Are you going deaf now?
Once I divorce you, I'll go...
and live with Rebecca in the US.
Who's this Rebecca fool in the US?
Is he American?
What?
Don't you even know your daughter's name?
Jin Joo's English name is Rebecca?
There are many other pretty names.
Elizabeth, Julia, Angelina,
Jina, Lola, and Brigita.
Why Rebecca when there are many pretty names?
Why not just call herself a rental car?
My goodness.
What? Did you just laugh?
How could you?
Your wife is so upset she wants to cry,
and you're laughing?
Isn't it funny?
Rebecca sounds like I have a fishbone in my throat.
It makes that phlegmy sound.
Why say Rebecca...
when she could be a rental car?
You jerk!
What? A jerk?
Say that again. What?
Do you think I can't?
Do you think I won't? You're a jerk.
Calm down now, Mi Ok.
Crying won't do you any good.
Mi Ok.
That's how upset I am.
I'm so upset.
Our daughter-in-law got me upset.
What should a husband do?
He should listen to me vent,
and call the kids and pretend to scold them.
I may have a nasty temper,
but I forget about it all after a few hours,
and if I'm talked to nicely,
I calm down right away.
He could comfort me...
and get me to reconcile with the kids.
Instead, he always lectures me...
and sides with Mi Sun.
He's the good person...
and I'm the witch.
Why do you live so close to your son's family?
You should live far from them.
Why make them live close by...
and make your own life this hard?
Did I think I'd end up like this?
I thought it would get better later on.
I thought I could relax later in life.
I thought I'd be able to do...
all I wanted.
Things just get worse with time.
Nothing gets better as time goes on.
People think I'm bad...
if I don't look after my grandchild.
I'm treated as if I'm a traitor.
My gosh.
Mi Ok, stop crying.
Shall we go to Na Hoon Ah's concert...
this weekend to cheer up?
You like Na Hoon Ah.
Forget it. I don't care for Na Hoon Ah.
I'm too old and weak to go to concerts.
Come on, Mi Ok. Don't you lie to me.
You like our master...
because he looks like Na Hoon Ah.
What? What are you saying?
I don't like our master.
As if you don't.
Everyone knows that you like him.
My gosh. How dare you say that?
- Mi Ok. - Forget it.
We've been here too long. You're being silly.
Let's go home now.
Mi Ok. Mi Ok.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Because you said such nonsense.
Go on home.
You're overreacting.
Forget about that,
but don't you say that again.
You brought your car, didn't you?
I'll pay for the chauffeur service.
Leave it. You paid for the drinks too.
Why would you pay for my driver?
I called you out.
I should pay for...
- the drinks and driver. - You don't have to.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
Master.
Ms. Ha, I haven't seen you in a while.
That's right. We haven't.
Go to my mom and say you were wrong.
No. I won't.
Then call your mother.
She's done enough.
I won't call her either.
Then who'll look after Da Bin tomorrow?
Min Ji's mom has plans.
Will you call Hyun Ji's mom...
or Ga Yoon's mom?
- Jin Soo. - What?
Can you take paternity leave?
Me?
You take maternity leave.
I already did.
I took it when I had Da Bin,
and then for 6 months when Da Bin was 3 years old...
since Mom broke her leg.
I can't apply for it again.
What man applies for paternity leave?
What? "What man applies?"
What man?
It sounds great,
but I'll get picked on afterward.
I'll have trouble getting promoted later on.
People will think I'm a pushover and loser.
That I'm not in charge of the house.
What?
Even if the mom drops dead of fatigue,
men don't want to be losers?
So you won't do it?
Mi Sun.
Darn it.
Is this where you live?
Yes.
You didn't have to take me inside.
Of course, I had to.
You live in a nice place.
It's not that nice.
Anywhere you live...
is a nice place.
What?
You give out...
good energy to the people around you.
When I'm with you,
I feel at ease and in good spirits.
That's what made me think that you have...
such pure energy.
Pardon? Energy?
Positive energy.
I see.
Well...
Thank you for that.
I feel flattered.
I respect you a lot as an artist...
and taking your classes...
made me so happy.
But...
due to personal issues,
I could no longer learn from you,
or see you again.
That made me feel so empty...
and sad inside.
Is it because you care for your granddaughter?
No.
Not just that.
It's just...
I wonder why...
my life has become so meaningless.
There are vases that last 1,000 years,
but humans who live for less than a century...
are such sad beings.
Ms. Ha.
My goodness. Master.
No man does it?
That's unbelievable.
I finished it already?
I should've brought two.
Could you please...
let go of my hand?
My gosh.
Mother.
What do you think?
Will Chairwoman Wang...
accept our offer tomorrow?
If she keeps insisting the way she does,
this negotiation won't be enough to seal the deal.
Then I'll have to go to China...
for a second round.
I want things to go well...
so I don't have to.
What do you think?
Our offer isn't all bad, is it?
You're still all about work.
Sorry.
Cool your head a bit.
Think about other things.
Think about me too.
We have our memories here.
Ms. Kang.
I have something to say.
Something to say?
I wondered where to tell you.
I guess this place is good.
This is where I fell in love with you.
So I thought it would be the perfect place.
That's why I took you here.
What?
What are you trying to say?
I'm afraid.
Ms. Kang.
Let's get married.
I want to marry you.
Tae Ju.
I want to stay with you.
Anytime, anywhere.
In any situation,
I want to be with you forever.
I've given it a lot of thought.
It hasn't been long since we met,
but I'm telling you this after a lot of thought.
Tae Ju, the thing is...
I like you a lot too.
I want to be with you like this forever, but...
No.
I want a relationship...
which is a lot deeper than this.
A relationship that you're my half,
my family,
my lover,
and my everything.
That's what I want.
So, Ms. Kang,
let's get married.
No.
I can't get married.
So...
I should've told you before this happened.
That I can't get married.
Am I not good enough for you?
No, it's not like that.
Then why?
Is it because I'm too young for you?
Because I'm your subordinate?
No. That's not why.
Ms. Kang.
I don't think I can start a happy family.
I'm not sure if I can have children.
It's not that I don't like you. It's about me.
So I'll pretend I didn't hear anything today.
I'm sorry.
I should get going.
Ms. Kang.
The working group will proceed with what we...
agreed on before the second negotiation.
I'll meet you in China next time,
Chairwoman Wang.
Okay. Let's do that, Ms. Kang.
Then I'll see you at the next negotiation.
Mr. Chairman, we will proceed with...
what we agreed on...
before the second negotiation.
And I'll try to put the contract forward.
For the next negotiation, I'll go to China...
and discuss the contract.
Okay. I get it.
Please excuse me then.
Okay. Bye.
All right, Ms. Kang. Well done.
Why? Is Ms. Kang your next target?
What are you talking about?
Why are you yelling at me?
I'm just asking because you were staring at her.
Mr. Chairman, did you get yourself in trouble?
Don't be absurd.
It's not me.
It's about my son.
Your son likes Ms. Kang?
No, it's not like that.
I'm glad...
that it's your son, not you.
But...
I heard your son was studying in the States.
Did he come back already?
That's it. I don't want to talk about it.
Let's just talk about business.
Don't worry and get him married.
It's not that simple.
She's a girl of humble origin.
That's even better.
Why would you need a daughter-in-law...
who's full of conceit from a rich family?
A smart girl...
from humble family is good for your daughter-in-law.
Don't worry and take her in.
If I were you,
I'd marry my son to Ms. Kang immediately.
Mr. Chairman.
You seem smart,
but you are not quite like that sometimes.
It's me.
I just saw Chairwoman Wang leave.
What do you think of Kang Mi Ri?
Pardon?
For what?
You said you'd let her work for Chairwoman Wang.
No, it's not about that.
What do you think of her as a daughter-in-law?
Why don't we change the plan...
and marry Tae Ju...
to Kang Mi Ri?
Mr. Chairman.
(We appreciate Ju Hyun Mi for her guest appearance.)
(Mother of Mine)
- Tell him everything. - Please.
I'll ask what Kang Mi Ri thinks.
I will never see you again.
It will make us unhappy.
I'm not giving up.
You can marry Mi Hye off first.
What are you doing?
- Who are you? - Mom.
Hello, I'm Kim Woo Jin.
Since last night, I feel like...
I've become someone who means a lot to you.
I'm bringing someone.
My gosh. I guess Mi Ri is getting married.
I've never thought that way.
That way? What are you talking about?
What do you think you're doing?
- You can't do that. - Dad!
It's 3,000 dollars.
Ms. Jeon, what are you going to do?
We have to make them see the reality.
I'm not going no matter what.
I will ostracize her from the industry.
