(Episode 1)
Man Soo, what is this?
It's an opal and diamond necklace, Mother.
Is this the famous canary opal?
Yes, that's right.
It's very popular among all the international celebrities.
It's a limited edition, so I barely managed to get one.
Yes, exactly. Canary.
It's a jewel worn by only the most famous worldwide celebrities.
I know it very well.
Man Soo.
My son-in-law.
How are you so generous?
You're my mother-in-law who gave birth to my beautiful Jenny.
This is nothing compared to that.
Accessories complete a woman's dignity.
I'll provide canary jewelry to you for the rest of your life.
I'm sorry...
It's okay.
Are you Korean?
Yes, it's nice to meet you.
You know how mother-in-laws lights candles...
during Korean weddings?
Yes, I've seen it happen at a lot of my friends' weddings.
I noticed that they even rehearse it before the wedding.
I really can't wait until I also get to do that.
I also can't wait to stand next to Jenny at our wedding.
I know, right?
I'll leave a little early during our lunch appointment.
So use that chance to propose to her.
You should win Jenny's heart.
I'll do that, Mother.
By the way, where is Jenny?
She went out for a walk. She's probably somewhere nearby.
Jenny.
Why didn't you answer my calls? I looked for you everywhere.
Mom, did you think I ran away or something?
Of course not.
You'd never leave me all by myself.
Mom, listen to this. It's a Korean song.
What?
- I also like this song. - Right?
We should go now.
Come on.
Hey, wait.
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Wait, move.
- Isn't that Jenny? - Yes, she's Jenny.
She's the one who designed this.
She's a famous hermit designer, Jenny.
- Jenny! - Jenny!
Hermit designer?
(Hope Quick Delivery)
Yes, sir.
I just got here.
Okay, I'll be right there.
(Hope Quick Delivery)
- Mr. Kim Jin Woo? - Yes, that's me.
Here you go.
Here's what you asked for. It's Lee Dong Joo's contact number.
What is he doing these days?
He's working as a quick delivery man.
How did he end up doing that?
He got falsely accused and ended up having to resign.
He studied to become an accountant, but his wife got sick,
so he started doing odd jobs.
His wife never worked and died five years ago.
And he's been suffering financially ever since then.
You have a quick delivery. Is no one home?
Did he get falsely accused?
(7 years ago)
Detective Park.
What happened?
I...
I didn't shoot him.
Detective Park.
Detective Park!
I want you to bring this man, Lee Dong Joo,
to me immediately.
My goodness.
She's doing it again.
My gosh, look.
What is her problem?
She also stole stuff last time.
We can't let this slide.
She seemed a little muddled, so I let her off the hook.
- But we should teach her a lesson. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
(Farm Groceries Mart)
Ms. Ji Hwa Ja.
I'm not Ji Hwa Ja. I'm Ni Na No.
Ji Hwa Ja.
I know that's your name.
Last time, you told us that you're Ji Hwa Ja.
I'm Ni Na No.
Ni Na No
- Ni Na No - Ni Na No
Anyway, we can't just let you take this today.
This is for Kyung Ah.
Come with us.
No, I don't want to go with you!
Do you want to go to the police station?
If you keep doing this, we won't let you leave quietly.
Gosh, no! No!
I'm...
going to go to Song Ah!
My gosh, catch her!
My goodness, my son-in-law! I'm glad you're here.
Let's go!
- Who are you? - Let's get going. Go on.
She's over there.
- Hey! - Hey! Come here!
Hurry up and drive!
Okay... Okay.
- Hey! - Get over here!
Bye!
Ma'am, you should get off now.
What do you mean? Take me to Song Ah.
- What? - Hurry up and take me to Song Ah.
Who's Song Ah?
Get ahold of yourself!
How can you not know your wife?
What?
Ms. Choi Song Ah.
Ms. Choi Song Ah?
Yes?
Is there anything you'd like to say?
No.
- What about you, Mr. Kim Young Man? - Me neither.
Then I'd like to announce that your divorce is final.
Getting a divorce is easy.
Did we really have to come this far?
Please don't say things you don't mean.
I didn't do anything wrong to get a divorce like this.
I never said you did anything wrong.
I thought I was going crazy after Da Seul died.
If you had been a bit warmer towards me,
I would never have cheated on you.
If that's why you cheated on me,
I guess I'm the one who should apologize for your affair.
I'm sorry. I mean it.
You really went through a lot by having to live with me.
Come on, Song Ah.
Why don't you reconsider?
If you forgive me, I'm more than willing to give it another try.
I hope you live a happy life.
It must've been hard for you to live with an older woman.
Okay, fine.
What's done is done, so let's just wish each other luck.
I also hope you live a happy life, Song Ah.
You really should get off now, ma'am.
How can my son-in-law call me "ma'am"?
I know it's been a while, but I'm your mother-in-law.
You're being very rude.
Ma'am, I'm not your son-in-law.
My gosh. Young Man.
Where were you all this time?
I don't have a mother-in-law.
But if I did have one, she'd at least get my name right.
How can you say you don't have a mother-in-law...
when I'm right in front of you?
If I'm not your mother-in-law, then who am I?
Do you know how much I missed you?
All I want to do is having a bowl of black bean noodles with you.
Is that so hard?
This is driving me crazy.
Ma'am, I'm not your son-in-law.
Where's Song Ah?
Is Song Ah your daughter?
Call Song An and tell her to come here.
Ae Young.
Are you done?
Yes, it just finished. I got it done nice and well.
I'll head to the airport now, so wait for me there.
I have something busy going on, so I can't go to the airport.
Just hurry up and get over here.
Okay, I'll be on my way.
Getting a divorce is easier than I thought.
It ended really quickly.
(Seoul Family Court)
Did it end well?
Yes.
I registered everything under your name, so have a look at it.
I heard you asked my father for nothing but a house.
Yes.
Thank you for not causing a fuss.
Although it's a pity that you had to take things to court.
If Young Man cooperated with everything,
we wouldn't have had to come this far.
Okay, fine.
I know my son did nothing right.
But you'd better not blame me for what happened to Da Seul.
Yes, I know. It's all my fault.
It's my fault for having listened to you.
The fortune teller told me that she was destined to die early.
She had only just entered elementary school.
And you said she'll be better off if she lives away from her family...
because she was born with itchy feet.
Why did you have to listen to that fortune teller?
You're the one who gave birth to her when I told you not to.
So you should blame yourself.
If you had only listened to me back then...
You're the one who used your pregnancy as an excuse...
to marry into our family despite your old age.
I mean, you really had no conscience at all.
Did you want to hit on a guy who's way younger than you?
I never hit on him first.
You're three years older than him.
It's terrible that I can't even believe it.
Who would think of you as my daughter-in-law?
People think we're of the same age.
I'm sorry...
that I look older than my age when I'm already old enough.
But your looks improved a lot after you married into our family.
Gosh, Mom. Don't insult her like that.
Anyway, the reason you lost your child and got a divorce...
was all because of your greed. Don't ever forget that.
Oh, okay. I get it now. I absolutely had no idea.
How dare you constantly talk back to me?
You should both congratulate each other for getting a divorce.
After all, it's all for the best.
I'm sorry I was never good enough for you.
Bye, then.
She was nowhere near my standards.
Great job.
Why isn't Song Ah coming?
The black bean noodles are going to get cold.
You should eat.
Yes, okay. You should eat up.
The receiver cannot be reached. Please leave...
Gosh, why isn't she picking up?
Are you sure this is her number?
Yes, of course.
Don't you even know your wife's number?
(Seoul Family Court, Seoul District Court)
You should come back as soon as the wedding's over.
Your grandfather is very angry.
But what's done is done, so let's just push ahead.
Mom, you really are the best.
By the way, why is Song Ah so obsessed with getting a house?
It's like she's crazy about it.
She didn't even want any money.
On top of that, she asked for the old house in Jeongneung.
I mean, it's nice for us since we didn't have to lose a lot.
She always wanted to live with her mother.
What?
She wanted to live with her mother in a house with a garden.
The garden balsams on the bottom of the fence
- The rose moss - Oh, my gosh.
You know she's a little old-fashioned.
- Hello? - Is this Ms. Choi Song Ah?
Who is this?
What?
Okay, I'll be right there.
- No. - Wait, ma'am.
If you stay here,
your daughter will soon come and pick you up.
You can't just leave me here.
Ma'am, I'm really busy right now.
I have no time for this.
You can't go. Where do you think you're going?
You can't go after what you've done to Song Ah.
I won't let you leave. I mean it.
Okay, fine. Will you please let go? I won't go.
No. I said I can't let go.
Gosh, she's driving me crazy.
- Wait, wait. - Wait.
Don't you dare go anywhere?
- You're so strong. - Young Man.
Mom.
Song Ah.
Come here. It's okay.
Excuse me.
Can you tell me what happened?
She seems mentally ill.
You shouldn't have left her alone like this.
And...
you should ask your husband, Mr. Kim...
to come to visit her as soon as possible.
Okay. I'm sorry.
Young Man.
Mom, get to your senses.
You should go.
Ma'am.
I hope you meet your son-in-law soon.
You can ask him to buy you a black bean noodle.
You already bought it for me earlier.
Wait. Young... Young Man.
Mom, will you please get to your senses?
Song Ah.
Why are you here?
Where...
Where are we?
Gosh, I'm sorry.
I must've lost it again.
Mom.
But what happened?
Where's Young Man?
Mom.
You long for different people every day.
Today, you're longing for Young Man.
Yesterday, you longed for Kyung Ah.
Tomorrow, are you going to long for Da Seul?
How did you manage to get by...
when you missed so many people like that?
I'm sorry, Song Ah.
I'm sorry.
No, Mom.
You did nothing wrong.
I'll help you get better from now on.
Gosh, I'm so late because of that lady.
I have a really busy day today.
You're very late.
Yes, I'm sorry. Where's the package?
You should follow me first.
Okay.
Please go inside.
What?
Okay.
Does it normally take this long for a quick delivery man to come?
I'm very sorry. An accident happened on my way here.
(Jam un)
An accident?
Yes, but it's something personal.
I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
What should I deliver for you?
You don't need to deliver anything.
Pardon?
Why are you working as a quick delivery man?
You're Lee Dong Joo, a graduate of the National Police University.
"Lee Dong Joo."
"This man graduated summa cum laude..."
"from the National Police University..."
"and always stayed upright."
"Thus, I give him this award certificate..."
"as the delegate of all businessmen."
(Award certificate)
(Graduation and appointment of new recruits)
Were you the chairman that sponsored us?
Yes, that's right. My son was also a cop.
I see.
I wanted him to take over my business.
But his lifelong dream was to become a cop.
He said he'll quit after 10 years, so I gave him my consent.
I see.
Do you know the Black Rose case?
Yes, I do.
My son died...
while trying to catch the Black Rose.
Was he the famous Sergeant Oh?
Yes. After my son died,
my daughter-in-law must've suffered a lot mentally...
because she also died soon after.
I see.
They left me with a grandson.
And the Black Rose completely disappeared after that.
Didn't she die?
She's not dead.
But if she's been missing all these years...
She's not someone who would die easily.
Where's Jenny?
Man Soo, I'm so sorry.
She apparently has a stomachache. She can't eat anything.
Why does she have a stomachache all of a sudden?
You'll have to propose to her next time.
I think we need to come up with a better strategy.
Okay.
I'm going to spend the rest of my life...
trying to catch that woman.
Can you help me do that?
If that's what you want me to do, I'll have to refuse.
Not even the best policemen could find her.
If I agree to help you, it'll just give you false hope.
And I'm not that competent either.
I'm sorry.
The kids finally got divorced.
Bring me Song Ah.
She's my only granddaughter-in-law.
But your grandson is no longer married to her.
And you don't even have that many grandsons.
My only grandson is Eun Seok.
Dad, do you know what Young Man managed to do?
Look.
This is an affiliate business contract with Jenny.
She's your favorite designer. You said she's bright and admirable.
She declared that she's never going to work with a Korean company.
But she agreed to work with us, J Group.
Her potential husband...
apparently met with Young Man at a global gathering.
That's how competent Young Man is.
He might've gotten a divorce, but he's a great businessman.
Give this project to Eun Seok.
What?
Hey, Grandpa.
Hey, do you know who Jenny is?
Dad.
Jenny?
That's Jenny.
She's the famous hermit designer, Jenny.
Are you talking about the hermit designer?
Yes.
She's a famous designer...
that's popular not only in Japan but also around the entire world.
Yes.
Our Fashion Team is planning to sign an affiliate contract with her.
Really?
Yes, you should be in charge of this as soon as you return.
She's actually returning on the same day as you are.
She's even scheduled for a meeting already.
She also has a fashion show tomorrow.
It starts at 1pm at the Blueberry Hall in Nagasaki.
Okay, Grandpa.
Jenny?
(Fashion designer, Jenny)
Yes, it's her. I'm sure of it.
Master, I heard Jenny has a fashion show tomorrow in Nagasaki.
Can you get me a ticket?
It's at the Blueberry Hall at 1pm.
You have to get me a ticket, okay?
(Shady Mom-in-law)
About that contract with J Group...
Do you really think it'll benefit us?
Jenny really wishes to go there.
I'm so sick of all the reporters prowling around Jenny...
hoping that they'll get something from her.
If there's a reporter that has to meet Jenny...
A reporter that is capable of meeting her...
That is me, Lee Kyung In.
Here's your deposit.
I want you to empty the place within a month.
Are we moving?
Let's go to a place that's way better than this one.
Ma Eum, you seem very worried.
I'm the best, right?
I'll be joining the finale stage today.
Did you forget the accident that happened last time?
It might be dangerous.
It's okay. I even prepared a mask just like you said.
Why is she suddenly showing interest in something unnecessary?
Are you ready? Make sure you don't make any mistakes.
