That's right.
The person I like...
is Geum Hui.
That's ridiculous. I'm speechless.
Is it that ridiculous for me to have feelings for her?
Yes, very much so.
- Why? - Don't you really know?
Geum Hui is Dr. Han's ex-wife.
And you're Dr. Han's brother-in-law now.
So I can never be with her?
Isn't that what's troubling you as well?
To be honest, it was hard for me to understand why you liked Bo Ra.
But I can't understand you at all this time.
Could it be that you can't tell pity from love?
So you think...
I pitied Bo Ra,
and confused my feelings for love?
Frankly, I do think so.
Bo Ra was a nurse's aide who was also an orphan and poor.
She wasn't even very attractive.
Why does that matter?
Sang Won.
Are you saying such conditions disqualify a person to be loved?
Do you think someone like her can never be loved?
That's not what I'm saying.
Then what?
Bo Ra wasn't a good fit for you...
in every way.
Now I can see...
why I wasn't attracted to you.
What?
You and I are on completely different wavelengths.
That's why I wasn't attracted to you.
Then why was I attracted to you?
Despite the different perspectives we have?
You and I...
may be on different wavelengths, but we're the same kind of people.
We grew up and studied in similar environments.
That's what we have in common that you can't ignore.
You should leave now.
I won't give up on you easily this time.
You must be tired. Get some rest.
Bo Ra, are you well?
You forgot me and got on with your life, right?
I'm sure you did.
Because you're a strong girl like that.
Well... Go on in now.
Okay.
Tell your parents you'll behave yourself until they approve of me.
All right. I heard you.
Get going now.
Well... Just like this?
What are you doing here?
I wasn't doing anything.
You should go now.
Yes, I will. Good night, Mother.
I'll get going, Geum Ju.
Bye, Seok Ho.
Gosh. How dare you go to a hotel with a man?
- It hurts, Mom. - Go inside right now.
Goodness. I'm going in.
Stop it.
Geum Ju.
I'm sorry.
If you do anything like this again,
I'll shave your head off so you can't even go out.
Honey, why would you say such a horrible thing?
I mean, she's going to become a top star soon.
Exactly.
And don't worry.
I made a promise to Seok Ho...
that I'll be a good daughter until I get your approval.
What? You'll be a good daughter?
Yes.
So Mom and Dad,
have a good night.
She must be head over heels for Seok Ho, right?
So what?
Geum Hui, I'm in front of your apartment.
Can I go up to have a cup of tea with you?
Hi, Seon Gyeong. You're in front of my apartment?
Then come on up. It's Unit 605, Apartment 207.
Okay.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
How do you like it? I made it.
It's really good.
I guess you and Sang Won parted ways for the night quickly.
I think Sang Won is tired.
He must be.
He works very hard all day long without a break.
How do you think of Sang Won?
What do you mean?
I have a crush on him.
Do you?
You two look great together.
Then can you help me get with him?
Me? How can I do that?
I don't know how.
But anyway, I don't want to lose him again.
What do you mean by "again"?
Actually, I've been liking him for a long time.
I gave up on him before because he fell for another girl.
Then what happened between him and that girl?
They broke up because his parents were strongly against her.
That's why he quit being a doctor and moved to the US.
I see.
Sang Won must have loved her sincerely.
Sang Won says he did.
But I'm not sure.
I think he might've confused pity for love.
He confused pity for love?
As you must know since you've known him for a while,
he's unusually kind-hearted.
He never passes by people in need.
You can see that from how he treats you and Yeo Reum.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
- I didn't mean it like that. I... - No.
You're right.
I think that's possible.
Since Sang Won has such a kind heart,
it may have been hard for him to turn a blind eye...
to me and Yeo Reum who were hurt by Sang Mi.
That's exactly my point.
Anyway, I hope you and Sang Won will end up together.
And let me know if you need my help.
Thank you, Geum Hui.
What are you thinking about to be smiling...
that happily?
Actually,
I gave the restaurant owner a haircut earlier today.
So?
The more I saw him, the more handsome he looked.
So,
thinking about him still makes you smile like that?
I know. I'm so silly.
If he had marriage experience like Geum Hui,
I would try to set her up with him.
I would have tried that earlier if he did.
If things go well between them,
I wouldn't feel bitter about her divorce with Jun Ho.
I know.
Anyway, when will the adoption be decided?
It should be in a few days.
She said it'll be decided within this week.
I hope she can adopt him.
If she's denied, both Geum Hui and Yeo Reum...
will be devastated. I'm worried, honey.
She will get approved to adopt him.
They say it's difficult to adopt a child as a single woman,
but she submitted all the documents required...
and reference letters from many people.
Right?
Let's believe so, and wait.
Okay.
As you must know since you've known him for a while,
he's unusually kind-hearted.
He never passes by people in need.
You can see that from how he treats you and Yeo Reum.
She's right. That must be the case.
(Social worker from Seoul Adoption Center)
Hello.
Have you been well?
I've been great. Have you been well too?
However, what makes you call me this early?
By any chance, has Yeo Reum's adoption been decided?
Yes.
How has it been decided?
Congratulations, Ms. Wang.
Are you saying...
Yes. You've been approved to foster Yeo Reum...
as you did last time.
Really?
Then can I bring him home now?
Yes, but it will take a few months until you become...
his legal mother.
Thank you.
All of this was possible thanks to your enthusiastic help.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Is that true?
Can you really bring Yeo Reum back home, Geum Hui?
That's great. I'm so happy to hear it.
The universe helped you.
All right.
Okay. Sure. Bye.
Can she adopt Yeo Reum?
Yes. She said she'll foster him like she did last time,
and then she can adopt him if there's no issues.
That's such great news.
That's really great. I'm happy to hear it.
I'm really happy to hear it too.
Yeo Reum must've heard the news too, right?
Geum Hui must've called him first.
Congratulations, Ms. Na and Mr. Wang.
- Thank you. - Congratulations, Geum Dong.
Geum Ju, congratulations on finding your nephew back.
Thank you.
Is that true? That's great.
I owe it all to you, Sang Won.
I didn't do anything.
That's not true.
When I was preparing the documents for the adoption,
you checked everything thoroughly and helped me with work.
You also went to see Yeo Reum with me.
I wouldn't have been approved this quickly without your help.
I'm glad I could be of help.
So, when will you go pick up Yeo Reum?
This weekend.
If you're allowed, let's go pick him up together now.
I can bring him home this weekend.
- I see. - Also,
I'll go pick him up by myself.
Why?
I already told you.
You should stop treating me as someone more than your employee.
People might misunderstand you.
Geum Hui.
Let's get to work now.
We chatted too long because I was too excited.
Is that so?
You should've done it sooner.
Okay.
Then I'll trust you, Seon Gyeong. Okay. Bye.
What did Seon Gyeong say?
She said she won't give up on Sang Won this time.
She must be determined this time.
She seems so.
I don't like Seon Gyeong so much.
What's there to hate about her?
I'm not so sure,
but she seems to say one thing and do another.
Of course, she should be like that.
If she's not, she'd be useless.
Then are you like her too?
Are you always genuine in everything you say?
Not exactly, but I'm trying. Shouldn't everyone be trying?
I don't like people...
who are completely honest and transparent like glass.
Why?
If you're transparent, you'd only be used by other people.
You need to know how to hide your emotions...
and how to act strategically...
in order to survive in this tough world we live in...
and to succeed.
But aren't the people who say something and act differently...
- making this world even tougher? - What?
Whenever I talk to you,
you mess with my thoughts and it makes me confused.
I'll rest in my room.
Goodness. That's a good idea.
You make me confused too when I talk to you.
The two of you...
can actually talk to each other although it doesn't seem possible.
- Was it a reasonable conversation? - Absolutely.
My gosh.
Seeing that you're teasing me, you must feel at ease now.
But don't be too relaxed.
Make sure to keep Jun Ho under your control.
Eat out with him from time to time.
I was going to do so.
Hi, So Ra. It's been a while.
What makes you call me?
How did you know that?
I see.
- Right now? - Right now?
Can't you go alone?
I'm a little afraid of her.
Both of you, sit straight.
I'll ask you straightforwardly, Seok Ho.
Okay. I'll answer your questions with sincerity.
So ask me anything, So Ra.
Tell me three reasons why you like Geum Ju, not me.
What? Three reasons? That many?
I've been racking my brain, but I don't see why you'd like her.
So tell me by yourself.
If you convince me, I'll give up on you.
Or else, I'll jump back in the race.
You'll jump back in the race? What race?
What do you think it is? It's a fight for Seok Ho.
What?
So Ra, who am I to make you two fight over me?
Don't be like that, and think you're lucky not to date me.
And find a better man.
I'll look for a good man for you too if you want.
Just answer my question.
Tell me just three reasons...
why you like Geum Ju, not me.
Fine. All right.
First of all,
she's pretty.
Wrong. That's not acceptable.
I'm prettier than her.
Hey.
Think of something else.
She's nice.
Wrong. That's not acceptable either.
I know this because I've known her since college.
She is not nice.
Try again.
Hey, So Ra. I tried to hold back, but you're being unreasonable.
To be honest, Seok Ho didn't even like you.
You just thought he liked you. You shouldn't be like this.
Geum Ju, are you done?
Yes, I'm done.
Seok Ho, let's get going.
Geum Ju, wait outside.
Why?
Why must we do this when we didn't do anything wrong to her?
Even if she was mistaken,
I made her think that way, so it's my fault.
So Ra, just as you said,
you may be prettier and nicer than Geum Ju...
from an objective point of view.
Seok Ho.
But?
But that's not how you fall in love, you know.
If so, only the prettiest girl and the most handsome man...
would fall in love.
Love blinds people.
That's why Geum Ju looks...
the prettiest and nicest in my eyes.
If you want me to explain in another way,
I'm not sure how else I can explain this. I'm sorry.
So why does she look...
prettier and nicer than me only in your eyes? Why?
So Ra, please.
Wait, So Ra.
Anyway, I apologize again.
Just keep your promise.
What promise?
You said you'll look for a good man for me.
Oh, that?
Then call me as soon as you find someone.
I'm off.
Maybe I shouldn't have said it.
You shouldn't have.
But still, I'm relieved that she gave up like this.
I know. Exactly.
Oh, right. I didn't tell you the news, right?
About what?
Geum Hui can adopt Yeo Reum.
Is that so?
- Is that true? - Yes.
She'll bring Yeo Reum back home this weekend.
Geum Hui is one determined woman.
Could she be aiming to win...
the Best Mom Award or something?
Mom, come on.
Who are you calling?
Who do you think? I'm calling Jun Ho.
Don't. He barely got himself together and went back home.
Knowing that won't do him any good.
Come on. He was once Yeo Reum's father.
So he deserves to know how he's doing.
Is that so?
I see.
That's great.
Yes. Okay. I should go now.
You're here.
Who was it?
My mom.
What's so great?
It's nothing.
You said we should rebuild our trust.
Then why are you keeping secrets from me already?
My goodness.
It's about Yeo Reum.
Geum Hui can adopt Yeo Reum.
Is that so?
But why would Mother tell you that?
I mean, you have nothing to do with him.
I know.
Well, in fact, he was once your son.
Maybe she thought she should tell you the news.
I guess she did.
That doesn't mean you're going to meet Yeo Reum, right?
I won't.
Then that's all that matters.
It's almost time to leave for the day, right?
Let's eat dinner outside.
Let's do that.
Honey, let Jun Ho take a few days off.
A vacation for what?
I think it'd be nice if they went on a trip...
to get the romance back into their relationship.
They just came back from their honeymoon.
Why? Did Sang Mi say she wanted to go on a trip?
No, she didn't. But going on a trip together...
could help them recover their relationship.
Haven't you gone on a trip with me?
What are you talking about?
We fight whenever we went on a trip together.
They're not like us.
They're not different from us.
I have never seen a couple not fight...
when I went on a trip with other couples.
That's true.
When Su Cheol and I went on a trip to Southeast Asia last year,
three couples in our group fought.
So did the two of you not fight?
Of course, we didn't.
Have you ever seen us fight?
So, what happened in your past, Su Cheol?
Pardon me?
Didn't you say you'd ask him about his drinking stories in the past?
Did you get his answer?
- He was a party starter at work. - At work?
Is what she said true?
Of course, it is.
I don't think so.
It's true. I was in charge of hosting the parties at work.
Hold on. When did you do that?
Good job as always, Geum Hui.
You too.
Let's have a drink to celebrate.
I told you not to do this.
You asked me to treat you as a work colleague.
Haven't you heard of get-togethers?
We're having a get-together.
Come and sit here.
I'll bring some food.
Congratulations on bringing Yeo Reum back home.
Thank you, Sang Won.
The wish I made to the shooting star came true.
Did you wish to bring Yeo Reum back home?
Of course.
What else would there be for me to wish for?
What about you, Sang Won?
What did you wish for?
- Me? - Yes.
How can I tell you my wish?
I should keep it in my heart.
Fine. You're so mean. I told you mine.
A girl I know used to drink wine like that.
She was my first love.
When we drank together, she'd always...
wet her lips like that.
Can you tell me the story?
About your first love?
Do you want to hear about it?
Yes.
Bo Ra was a friend from high school.
She grew up in an orphanage.
But I had never seen anyone else...
as confident as Bo Ra.
Until then,
I had been a mama's boy who always did as my mom said.
But Bo Ra was different.
Even when the kids teased her for being an orphan,
she didn't let it discourage her.
On the contrary, she even helped a friend with polio...
come to school and go home.
She broke all the prejudices I had until then...
all at once.
If you were in high school...
Kids around that age are usually very sensitive.
I guess Bo Ra was very mature.
I think she was.
When I was with her, I had nothing to worry about.
I even thought that I wouldn't be afraid...
even if the sky fell as long as she was with me.
Then did you start dating her in high school?
No.
I lost contact with her after I graduated from high school.
When I was serving in the military,
I met her again by accident at the health center in the island.
She was working as a nurse's aide there.
She was as confident as she used to be...
helping other people.
Oh, my. What a coincidence.
The moment I saw her at the health center,
I told myself to be with her for the rest of my life.
And so we...
held a wedding ceremony alone.
Then why did you break up with her?
One day,
she suddenly disappeared.
How?
I don't know.
She disappeared right after my mom went to see her.
All I know is she left because of my mom.
I don't know the details.
My mom never told me about what she did to Bo Ra.
I looked everywhere for Bo Ra,
but I couldn't find her.
That's why you gave up on everything,
and moved to the US as if you were running away.
That's right.
Then have you not heard from Bo Ra yet?
No. Never.
That's sad.
But not long ago,
I met someone...
who made me feel the feelings I had with Bo Ra.
- Pardon? - After Bo Ra left,
I never felt that way, not even once.
But when I met her,
I started to feel that way once again.
"I want to be with her for the rest of my life."
Who...
is she?
(Home for Summer)
I heard you're bringing Yeo Reum home. Congratulations, Geum Hui.
Are you waiting for a call?
You should've come with Sang Won. Why did you come alone?
Actually, Sang Won is at Geum Hui's parents' house.
Aren't you the owner of My House Pasta?
I saw you on the TV show not long ago.
Mi Seon, do you know him too?
May I help you?
Can't you recognize me?
Are you Ms. Lee Mi Seon?
