I think you're right.
See? I told you.
When did you get here? You should have called me.
Let me introduce you to him.
This is my dad.
This is the man I told you about.
It's nice to meet you, sir. I'm Yu Ji-ho.
I see.
Let's go in.
Open the door.
Well...
This was totally unexpected, so you're probably uncomfortable.
But I'd like the chance to formally introduce myself some other time.
- Dad. - Come on. Open the door!
Then I'll get going, sir.
I said, open the door.
Come and have a seat.
I said, have a seat.
Give me a moment.
Hey.
Jeong-in!
For God's sake.
Level One.
Well, what does he do?
He wants to formally introduce himself to you, so ask him directly.
When can you meet him?
Stop being so reckless and save yourself the humiliation.
Just end it.
What's there to end?
We haven't even started yet.
Is that why everyone already knows?
How have you been behaving yourself? Word has already spread.
What do you mean?
What have you heard?
Am I married or what?
It's not like I cheated on my husband.
What have I done wrong?
Who's talking about me behind my back?
First, come and have a seat.
What's with that attitude?
Then what's with your attitude?
Does being older give you power?
Do you think young people have no feelings or self-esteem?
What if someone treated your child that way?
How would you feel?
Stop talking such nonsense.
That's how Mr. Kwon...
treated me for four years.
I hope you didn't take out the ones that would upset me.
No, sir.
He hasn't really been meeting anyone recently.
Not even that girl, Jeong-in?
No, sir.
You can stop tailing Gi-seok, but I'd like you to keep an eye on her.
You know that she works at the library, right?
Yes, sir. I'm aware.
It's the same every day.
I go to work and come home. That's pretty much it.
What about you?
Living in the US isn't any different.
I go to work, come home, and look after my kids. That's all I do.
By the way, my wife called Father
- and told him to visit us, - Right.
but he told her it'd have to be after your wedding.
So you finally got his permission?
You should settle down and get married. You've had enough fun.
Hey, how did you get married?
Father was against it, wasn't he?
That was before Mom passed away,
so I counted on Mom and just fled to the US.
I see.
I should be there for you and help you out.
- I'm sorry I can't be a better brother. - No, don't say that.
Don't drag it out. You should just marry her.
What if some guy snatches her away from you?
Even if you're getting tired of her,
other guys are bound to find her attractive.
You're right.
- Where are you coming from? - I was in the area.
- Where's Eun-u? - He's in bed.
- Are you going to sleep here tonight? - I'll see.
Where's Dad?
He's probably grabbing a drink somewhere.
I'll be in Eun-u's room.
Ji-ho.
Mom, let's talk later.
Anyway, it's stuff you didn't need to know.
I guess I shouldn't have said it.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
Okay, fine.
It's all cool.
Then what do you plan to do with Gi-seok now?
I told you. We broke up.
Who says you can do that?
Has Gi-seok agreed?
You unilaterally broke up with him.
Dad.
He still loves you.
So I have to stay with him because of that and act like I still love him too?
Can't you do that?
Can't you do that and try to maintain the relationship?
Dad.
It's completely natural to get tired of each other in a relationship,
but making a conscious effort to understand each other
can help you bring the spark back.
That's what I think.
Besides, you two were together for years.
How could you call it quits and go cold turkey?
That's so ruthless.
And everyone, including your mom and me, wanted you guys to get married.
You can't let everyone down like this.
Also, Mr. Kwon may have disapproved of you before he met you,
but he's very fond of you now that he has met you.
Hey, he's not perfect either.
He can misjudge others.
Dad, I'm your daughter.
I told you he mistreated me.
Jeong-in.
Change your mind,
even if it's just for my sake. Please?
I can still work, you know.
So this is about after your retirement?
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but yes. Help me out, please.
I'll prove it to you.
I'll show you what I can do.
Did you tell Dad?
Hi, Dad.
I know you'll make a wise decision.
I know you well enough.
- Don't stay out late. - I have something else to tell you...
Why are you leaving already?
Ji-ho. Hey, Ji-ho.
Someone keeps calling you.
Here.
You didn't pick up, so I kept calling, thinking you might be mad at me.
Is your father still there?
No, he left.
Then why are you talking so quietly?
Just because.
- Where are you? - In front of the building.
The building?
You mean my place?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell me?
You said you were at your parents' place.
What about Yeong-ju? Is she not home?
It looks like she's asleep.
It's okay. I called a taxi.
Wait inside.
The door code is 140719.
[Netflix Ver] MBC E21 'One Spring Night' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Can I cook myself a bowl of ramen?
Who is it?
I said, who is it?
I'm Lee Jeong-in's boyfriend.
You came to the wrong place.
I do have a lover, but not a boyfriend.
You're upset again, aren't you?
You're too easy.
Go ahead and poke me. I'm still going to do it.
Do what?
- You actually poked me. - Sorry.
I already saw everything.
Thank you.
Yeong-ju isn't asleep.
I'm happy you're here.
I have this book too.
Did you buy this?
No. Hye-jeong got one for me and Ye-seul because she enjoyed it so much.
There are many memorable lines in this book.
Well, let's see...
Here, this part is nice too.
Read it aloud in your lovely voice.
"When we fall in love,
must we get into it knowing whether it will be fruitful or not?
Can we approach love in that manner?
We mustn't.
We cannot be calculating in any aspect...
because, after all, we love who we love.
When one falls in love, it just happens.
That's all there is to it.
Hence, let's not wallow in despair,
restrain our feelings,
or smother the light.
Instead, let's try to keep a clear head.
- And... " - "And simply say, 'Thank you, God.
I'm in love.'"
I didn't even have a chance to tell him anything about you.
Good.
What's good?
I mean, it's fine. Take your time.
Are you saying that to be considerate,
or is it because you're scared?
I'm scared that you may end up putting up with the stress all alone.
I'm already losing confidence.
I know I said I won't let you get hurt,
but let me rephrase it.
It'll be hard.
You will be hurt,
and you may end up hating me.
And?
I may end up becoming the person...
who hurts you the most.
Just don't use any of these as an excuse later on.
An excuse for what?
Don't give me that as an excuse for leaving me,
saying that you're doing it for my sake.
What? Was that your plan?
Yes, it was.
Don't storm off again.
You know me too well.
I think we're quite compatible.
Is it because we're so different?
Are you saying I'm ill-tempered?
- I never said that. - Whatever. It's too late.
But don't you think...
we'll be able to get through everything together?
Say yes, Ji-ho!
Come on!
Say yes!
You won't say it?
- Hey. - Hello.
What did you do at the weekend?
Well, I did a bunch of things.
"A bunch of things"? That sounds so free.
You probably prefer working.
Well, I can't really admit that.
By the way, when are you getting married?
Hey, Hyeon-su. What did you do at the weekend?
- Did you play basketball again? - Well, obviously.
Why didn't you tell me?
Oh, I went on my own to get some practice.
Not with the guys we play with.
Let's go.
Go ahead. I'll take the next one.
Crap.
Come to the meeting room.
It looks like you already know.
Don't jump to your own conclusions though.
I don't want to ruin my relationships with others
just because of a personal issue.
So don't walk on eggshells around me.
Well, I was just worried about you...
I'm sure you did it out of concern.
But it actually offends me,
so don't do it.
And I'll never avoid running into Ji-ho.
You must know what it means.
This is driving me nuts.
It'd be nice to have lunch together, but I have a lunch meeting.
That's okay. I'm just here to have a quick talk with you about something.
It's about my daughter, Jeong-in.
Like I told you the other day, it's not true at all.
Is that what your daughter said?
Who else, then? I heard it from her, of course.
So it's not true at all?
Well, to be more precise, not exactly.
What? You keep changing your word.
No, let me explain.
I'm sure her guy friends occasionally join her college reunions and gatherings,
where many people are gathered.
It's possible that someone saw it and got the wrong idea.
You mentioned that you're suspecting it "based on the circumstances."
It was probably due to something like that.
That is my guess.
So you're saying it's a groundless rumor.
Okay. I'm sure the two of them will figure it out.
But do you think it's okay to leave it completely up to them?
I mean, misunderstandings like this can happen again.
And all the talks can get exhausting for both families.
If things drag out, even the two of them might get sick of it.
As they say, "Strike while the iron is hot."
I'd like to ask for your opinion.
Well, you know.
What are you thinking?
Let's just nail down a date for their wedding.
I said you could take your time. Have a seat.
Come on, sit.
No.
- It's such a gorgeous day out. - What?
What's good about having a weekday off
is that you can enjoy a quiet afternoon like this.
What are you thinking?
I used to think this on my way back to work from my lunch break.
It'd be nice to chat and laugh with the person I love
while having lunch together in a park on a beautiful day.
Will that day ever come?
It's nothing special, but I've wanted to do it.
So it was like...
your little wish?
There are things that I never got to do,
even though they're nothing hard.
For me,
I've always wanted to walk along an old alleyway
after a heavy rain, but I've never gotten around to it.
It'd be nice to go for a nice cup of coffee after the stroll.
- Let's go together. - If you behave yourself.
Fine. I won't go, even if you ask me to.
Sure. Try to resist.
You're such a thug.
It's a nice photo of you. I'll send it to you.
I guess you think you're very pretty.
You are pretty.
Don't say "no" or "it's okay." You have to say "yes."
- Let me hear it first. - Just say yes.
You really are a thug. All right. What is it?
Let's...
go somewhere fun with Eun-u.
I see that you're upset again.
You're seriously too easy.
I told you I won't date a guy who loses his confidence easily.
(Episode 22 will air shortly.)
- You're already here. - I just got here.
Thanks.
How much is the rent here?
Why? Do you want to move out?
No. My sister and I might get kicked out soon.
- Do your parents know about Ji-ho? - They'll kick us out, right?
How would I know? I don't know what your parents are like.
What are Ji-ho's parents like?
Ji-ho's parents?
Both of them are nice.
They've been running a dry cleaner's for a long time.
What is it, Jae-in?
It's nothing. Let's go.
That night...
I drank way too much.
Do you think she's seeing someone else?
If it's nothing serious, just let it go.
You shouldn't nag her about something like that.
It makes you look petty.
Her father wants to nail down a date.
You two should discuss and decide on the date.
Okay.
Why are you still here?
Well...
About your question earlier...
Jeong-in is not seeing anyone else.
She said the relationship with you failed.
I was supportive even after hearing that...
because I was hoping you could completely turn things around.
Only admit failure...
when you can call it quits without any hesitation or regrets.
Until then, no one really knows who the winner is.
Do you understand?
There.
Now you can set your passcode.
Okay.
Don't forget your passcode.
It's all set now. Here, you should try it.
- Press this first, right? - Yes.
(ONLINE BANKING FOR EVERY FINANCIAL MATTER)
(ENTER YOUR PASSCODE)
Enter the passcode.
- There. - Yes, it's done now.
(BALANCE)
I can view the account details here.
I don't have to go to the bank every time.
When did you send me this money?
Oh, it's for the booze.
You didn't have to.
Anyway, thanks. I'll put it to good use.
Hey, give me a heads-up from now on. I'll prepare snacks for us.
Gosh, stop it.
- I'll take them. - What are you two chuckling about?
- Nothing. - What is it?
- Dad, your phone is buzzing. - What?
- Lee Jeong-in is calling. - Okay.
- Where are you going? - What?
To check on the machine.
(SEONGDONG PUBLIC LIBRARY)
Ms. Lee!
Hi, Eun-u. How have you been?
Ms. Lee, you should come over and hang out with us at our place.
What?
Oh, okay.
- Don't say that. - Why not?
- What? - Your daddy doesn't want me to come over.
No, I was just kidding. He thinks you're being serious.
Ms. Lee.
Yes?
At the kindergarten,
we made pinwheels.
I made two.
Oh, my. You made pinwheels?
Why did you make two, Eun-u?
One is for me,
- and the other one is... - It's for me, right?
You made it for me, right?
Yes, it's yours.
Eun-u, you're a traitor.
Eun-u, next time we meet,
don't forget to bring the pinwheel you made for me.
Okay.
Eun-u, do you want to meet my sister?
Yes.
Where is your sister?
- Ta-da. - Hi!
You're so cute.
Wow. Your sister is huge.
Eun-u, gosh.
You should sit back.
Hi!
(A MOM'S VOICE 5 MINUTES A DAY)
Mom,
I can do this.
What makes you so confident?
You said the reporters will write about this.
What if rumors of your separation start spreading?
It will anyway, once the divorce process begins.
Are you going to get one?
What about the baby?
I'll raise it myself without his involvement.
That's because you don't know better.
Raising a child alone isn't easy. It takes manual labor, not knowledge.
Being smart won't help you one bit.
I won't be able to raise the baby as long as he's around.
I won't be able to take it.
Seo-in,
you know very well that there are things about Si-hoon I'm not happy about.
Still, how things are happening for you...
proves that you're meant to be with him.
Marriage is a union of two strangers, so of course personalities will clash.
Spouses can be your worst enemy at times.
But if you hold out and endure the hardship,
time will surely pass.
Forget about everything else and do what's best for the baby.
Do what's right for the baby and give Si-hoon another chance.
If I do that, I'll die.
I will if I have to be in the same space with him.
I understand that you've fallen out of love, but...
No, I'll really die.
Seo-in...
I need to live.
I must live for the baby's sake.
Is there something...
you're not telling me?
Since when?
When did this begin?
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry.
Nam Si-hoon...
Where is this bastard?
Mom, no. Please.
- Let go. - Mom.
Why are you stopping me?
You expect me to do nothing after what he's done to you?
You...
You can stay put.
I'm your mother.
It's why I can't let this slide.
Mom, please don't.
I'll handle this,
so just be by my side, all right?
Mom...
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, dear.
My poor baby.
My poor sweet baby.
That one, please.
Yeong-ju.
Hey, you're right on time.
We have 30 minutes to talk.
I thought about it,
and I think I should've told my dad when I bumped into him.
If you had, you wouldn't have been able to come to work.
You would've been hospitalized.
Then when do I tell him?
Seo-in, Jae-in, and even you are telling me not to.
Can you really handle this?
I know very well that Ji-ho is a decent man,
but being a single father...
I can never make up my mind. I really don't know.
I do though.
I think I know what will happen to me.
Don't tell me you're already thinking about marrying him.
What kind of question is that?
You'll automatically become a mom.
Are you even taking this seriously?
Yes, sir.
No, it's fine. What is this about?
Really? Oh, I'd love that.
It's been a while since we met anyway.
When would be best?
- Jeong-in. - Yes?
- You've been getting texts. - Oh, thanks.
- Hey, Jeong-in. - What do you mean?
Gi-seok is meeting my dad?
I'm not 100 percent sure, but that's what Hyeon-su thinks.
Unbelievable.
I didn't know if I should call you,
- but if they talk about me... - I'm glad you did.
Ji-ho, don't worry about this anymore.
- I'll handle it. - Until when?
What?
When do I have to hide behind you until?
Ha-rin, who was that?
I didn't see the name, but whatever the text was, she...
It seems serious, right?
So it seems. What is it about this time?
What's going on?
My dad's meeting Gi-seok.
Ji-ho's the one who told me.
Is he angry?
He's uncomfortable.
All this time, he was patient and suggested we take it slow.
Why wouldn't he be annoyed?
Even I agreed that you should take your time, but I think...
neither Gi-seok nor your father will back down easily.
So telling him is the right move.
There is no right or wrong in this matter.
It'll be painful for you,
but I can't imagine the hardship Ji-ho will have to face.
I'll think of that when it gets to it.
But that could be today.
Gi-seok won't stay quiet.
I don't care what you do. Just stop it from happening today.
Jeong-in?
I'll let them be.
- Yes, Ji-ho. - Oh, boy.
I wanted to apologize.
I shouldn't have held you responsible for this.
Are you trying to make me feel guilty?
I feel bad for making you worry like this.
I think I should meet Gi-seok.
No, don't.
He'll only say things that'll hurt you.
I'm worried that he'll tell your father and make things worse for you.
I actually want it out in the open.
He'll know it sooner or later.
I don't.
What do you mean?
It's about me, so I want to be the one who says it.
I'm not pressuring you into introducing me to your parents.
I'm just saying...
that I'm not scared to show people who I am.
I like that confidence of yours.
You know me. I'm a sucker when it comes to your words.
Well, I'm proud.
I don't plan to let Gi-seok...
have his way indefinitely.
Being understanding and patient isn't working.
I'll meet him or call him...
- It's not you. - What?
It's me.
His goal is to take me down.
He's not moving the clinic.
How can he when he can barely pay the rent?
There's his wife.
They're not on good terms.
Is it your first time here?
Is Dr. Nam here?
May I ask who you are?
I'm his mother-in-law.
- Just a second, ma'am. - I only need to know if he's inside.
Thank you.
(DIRECTOR'S OFFICE)
Come in.
Mother, this is a surprise.
Are you in pain or something?
I can take a look...
Mother?
Report me to the police. Should I do it for you?
Please hear me out first.
If you lay even a finger...
on my daughter ever again,
I'll kill you.
Are you smiling?
Are you seriously smiling?
How dare you smile!
How dare you!
How dare you...
That's as far as I'll go today...
because I'm too humiliated by the fact that I let my daughter marry a bastard.
[Netflix Ver] MBC E22 'One Spring Night' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Your delicious rice is ready.
(YOU'RE ALREADY A TREMENDOUS MOTHER, FROM LEE SEO-IN'S MOM, SIN HYEONG-SEON)
And here are the dreaded children's books.
I took a swift look, and they're mostly damaged.
Are kids this meticulous?
They are by grown-ups.
For this damaged books exhibition, we should write a strong message.
"The pain you inflicted will someday be returned."
It's the same with relationships.
You don't realize that you've hurt someone, but you regret it later.
You can also regret it without even realizing you were hurt.
Who is more to blame?
They're both guilty.
I'm not saying you're as bad as Gi-seok though.
Thanks for clarifying that.
I'm sorry, but I have other plans today.
- What? - Thanks in advance.
What plans?
Gosh.
Jeong-in, where are you?
Why are you asking me that?
You've never asked me that before.
To check if you're causing any trouble.
Will you join me then?
Of course.
Ji-ho.
Yes?
I don't easily back down from things I put my mind to,
so don't worry.
Where are you though?
I'll come to you.
No.
You stay where you are.
I'll be the one going to you.
As long as I stay single, right?
Date others if you want.
I'll get in between you two and take you for myself.
Whatever happens,
call me if you need me.
I know that you're always an option.
You never let me help though.
That's how much I trust you.
I'll call you.
Are you going to where your dad's meeting Gi-seok?
I said I'll call you.
All right.
Be careful then.
Sure thing. Bye.
Let me.
We talked about meeting up, but it took us this long to finally do so.
I should have called you first, Father. I apologize.
You're right. I was a bit upset, you know.
Here.
I thought about inviting your father, too, but didn't.
I also thought about inviting Jeong-in, but didn't.
It's fine. All we need is a representative from each family.
Right.
I hear that Jeong-in's cheating on you.
Why aren't you drinking any beer?
I don't feel like it.
Who drinks because they feel like it?
Whether you drink or not, I'm going to let you treat me good.
Are you going to tell on me to my sister?
I can distinguish my allies and enemies.
But I'll be your enemy.
It's only a joke.
I'm not one to be loyal.
I'll turn my back on you if you don't do well.
She'd do that and then some.
You say that like you've dated me for a long time.
Give me a few pointers then.
Is Gi-seok out of the picture now?
If you're worried, don't be.
What about my dad?
I heard you met him.
Did he even meet your eyes?
Even though I'm his daughter,
he treats me as if I'm invisible ever since I messed up.
That says a lot, right?
I'm not trying to scare you.
I'm telling you that he's difficult.
Father, has Jeong-in...
told you the whole story?
Hold on.
Is there something I should know?
Is that the case?
Well, it's just that...
your father spoke about it first,
so I thought you had said something.
It's just...
I think my father misunderstood me.
A misunderstanding?
Yes.
You see, I got drunk recently and rambled over the phone.
I tried to correct him, but he still got the wrong idea.
He should've told me about that too then!
Unbelievable.
I didn't know about that,
so I actually called you here to apologize.
You two have been dating for a while,
so I understand if you're in some sort of rut.
But having another man in the picture? That's just an absurd thing!
Even on my way here, I thought about it many times over
because I knew it couldn't be true.
I'm her parent after all. How could I not know her?
Of course.
Then there's nothing more to talk about, right?
That's right.
Good then.
We just need to settle on a date.
You guys haven't been moving forward.
Mr. Kwon and I had to get off our butts for you.
I'm sorry. I promise to do better.
Let's just get it over with while we're on the subject.
We should hear what Jeong-in wants first.
What's there to talk about?
It's already been decided. All we need is a date.
Just pick one that works for you.
Has the food here always been this tasty?
I think you should decide...
on the date for us.
Parents are better at these sort of things, right?
- I see. - What do you think?
You are...
a lot like your father.
You really are.
I think it's her.
All right.
(ONE SPRING NIGHT)
Gi-seok, don't you worry about a thing.
I'll clear the path for you.
This is where we first met. Let's get married.
I'm choosing this for your sake.
Why did you even receive this? You should've thrown it in his face.
Gi-seok proposed to her.
He must be bragging because it went well.
Can we meet? Don't tell me you're avoiding me.
Sure, let's meet today.
Hyeon-su, that blabbermouth, probably told you what happened.
How much harder will you make it for Jeong-in?
You're an obnoxious prick.
You're doing this
not because you want Jeong-in but because you can't lose to me.
- Just stop it already. - I will when you do.
I'm done being considerate to you.
- Would you like to meet my parents? - What if they're not fond of me?
- Then we'll have to break up. - Hey!
- "Hey"? - You know I didn't mean it like that.
