Why isn't that brat here yet? She running us in circles?
Will you shut up and sit still? You better not ruin the mood.
Ruin what? This isn't a friendly get-together.
Shut it! Stop yammering and zip your lips.
Ma'am! What brings you here?
Goodness!
I'll be right with you.
H-hello.
I have some business here.
This here's my daughter.
She couldn't come to the family dinner last time.
She had something going on at her in-law's.
Hello.
Why, hello.
Please take good care of my dear Ga-eun.
And stop by our house since you're in the neighborhood.
No, we can't impose. Besides, we have to leave soon.
Why are you here?
Oh, I have some business here, too.
That's our company lawyer. He's here to help me with a small matter.
I see.
Mom.
Hey, Young-eun. Say hello.
Ga-eun's sister is as pretty and attractive as ever.
Mom! What did you say?
- Ga-eun's sister? - Yeah.
That rude brat is Ga-eun's sister?
What-what did you say? Rude brat?
Let it go. C'mon.
We won't let it go.
If you don't pay us compensation, I'll have your daughter jailed.
Seems our families do have strong ties.
We meet even in the most unusual circumstances.
This is an ill-fated relationship, if anything.
Ill-fated is right. How else could two brats meet like this?
Young-eun.
Look... Young-eun. You have quite the temper.
Then again, it takes two to tango, right?
My daughter has a temper, too.
I'll excuse myself then.
Hold on, you can't leave.
You got stitches on your forehead?
Goodness, what to do?
She's not even married yet and her face is marred.
You sound like you're talking about a stranger.
Shush!
Others may say it's only 3 stitches, but it feels like I got 30 myself.
I understand. Bruises disappear but stitches don't.
You must be so upset.
Jung-woo will make it up to your family by treating Ga-eun right.
'I can't believe this!'
'Look how she's reminding me that Ga-eun's caught in the middle.'
'I wish I could just storm out. This is so frustrating.'
'Whatever. Not like you can do anything.'
'Your precious daughter joins my family the day after tomorrow.'
'You have no choice but to accept all this.'
'She's such a sly fox.'
'As an adult she should know when to admit she's wrong.'
'This is unbelievable. And that look in her eyes!'
'They're gonna be our in-laws? Just shoot me now!'
'Glare at me all you want. There's nothing you can do.'
Just think of it as an unusual but fateful meeting.
Young people become closer through spats like these.
'Become closer, eh?'
'I don't want to come across you people again.'
'I'd rather die than deal with you again.'
So we've got no more business with that lawyer, right?
He came for nothing.
Young-eun, let's go!
Mom.
Ma'am!
I want to rethink the marriage. Our families don't match well at all.
I can't send my Ga-eun to your family.
Goodness, gracious.
What do we do? Mom, what do we do?
This is terrible. Terrible.
How to salvage this? We tripped up at the finish line.
Ga-eun.
Stop it.
Huh. You're really not gonna smile?
Don't. I'm not in the mood to smile.
Forget about the ring. Don't get all hung up over that.
Your mother said it was important. She's gonna be so upset when she hears.
It's fine. I'll explain things to her.
No, don't get involved.
She'll feel majorly upset if you take my side.
My girl is so sweet.
I said, don't.
That went in my mouth.
How to pay you back...
Don't! Don't!
Want to shake hands with a fish and make friends?
Don't!
I said, don't. Will you stop?
Fine, I'll stop sulking.
Then smile.
- Satisfied? - I want a real smile.
- Brighter. - Stop.
See, you're so pretty when you smile.
Now forget about the ring.
Alright, Jung-woo.
I wish we could go on dates even after we're married.
How about I quit my job and play with you all day?
I'll do it if you want.
Really? No taking that back.
Okay.
Hey, Young-eun.
What? You need me to come home?
Yoo Young-eun, what are you up to this time?
Think I'll for this trick again?
Emergency, my butt... You gonna keep messing around?
I'm not, Sis. Mom's about to explode, no joke.
- What? - She might call your wedding off.
What do you mean?
Young-eun, what do you mean my wedding might get called off?
What?
I won't allow this marriage. You think I'm overreacting?
Be reasonable. The wedding's in two days.
You can't call off the wedding over something like that.
Something like that?
Young-eun was hurt, you hear?
Don't you care that Young-eun was hurt?
I won't become in-laws with those vulgar people.
I'd rather die than let that happen.
We didn't decide to let Ga-eun marry based on that family.
From the start, we based our decision on Jung-woo alone.
You're only making things hard for Ga-eun.
Think how she'll feel about this.
This marriage is no good for Ga-eun.
Think I'm only thinking of myself here?
How can you not trust me, even now?
I never treated Ga-eun and Young-eun differently, but you don't care.
Dear!
That's enough!
I have a lot pent up.
I raised her like my own for 20 years, yet I'm still her stepmother.
No matter what you say, I won't allow this marriage.
Ga-eun, you listen good.
You need to rethink this marriage.
No, don't even bother. This marriage won't happen.
Mom.
If you want to go, then kill me first.
You have to choose. Me or Park Jung-woo.
Mom.
If you think of me as your mother, you'll listen to me.
You always said that I'm your only mother.
I raised you more dearly than I would my own daughter.
You have to acknowledge that.
Mom.
I know. I understand how you feel.
I'm always grateful to you.
Mom, please don't cry.
Ga-eun.
Mom.
What are we going to do? Huh?
I knew you'd cause trouble, and you did!
Frankly speaking, it's your fault things got so bad.
What?
You exaggerated with the compensation and jail threat.
And that battle of wills with Ga-eun's mother?
You should've lowered yourself.
You adding fuel to the fire or what?
Why'd you scratch her face? How are you gonna resolve this?
You ruined your brother's rep. How are you gonna fix it?
They won't really cancel the wedding.
It'll only hurt Ga-eun's rep. It's an empty threat.
Mom, why were you so confident earlier?
I didn't know she'd react so harshly.
Did we just let a good catch slip through our fingers?
Goodness, what are we to do?
Don't worry, Mom.
The wedding's the day after tomorrow. They can't do nothing.
Can I eat the abalone?
It's been traveling quite a bit.
Your brother could be ruined and all you think about is abalone?
I can't make it to Professor Kang's presentation on Jeju Island.
Can you go by yourself?
If you can't go, I'm not going either.
Nonsense. Professor Kim adores you.
You have to go.
I dunno...
Just go. I already booked the hotel.
While you're there, get some fresh air and relax.
I wanted to go myself but work just won't let me rest.
All you drink these days is lemon juice. You quitting coffee altogether?
I think my tastes have changed. All I crave is lemon juice.
You hardly eat, too. Doesn't it hurt your stomach?
It doesn't hurt, but I feel bloated.
Must be indigestion.
The person who fought with Jung-hee is Young-eun?
I knew she'd screw up big time, and now she's ruined you.
Speaking of which, how about you go see what's going on?
No. You handle this.
Jung-woo, I know you're upset.
But we need to discuss what to do about this predicament.
Discuss what?
What do you want me to do about the milk you spilled?
I know, I know. I understand how you feel.
I don't blame you.
You're not proud of your widowed mother or your uneducated sister.
And all we do is cause trouble instead of helping you out.
I know you're angry and upset.
I understand all that. How you feel.
But we can't change that.
You were born from me, and so was your sister.
You have to do something about this.
Do what?
You should act like nothing happened and go to her house.
You have no choice.
Treat Ga-eun and her family better, you hear?
You gotta clean up the mess made by your family.
Set aside your pride this once.
You gotta do something, Jung-woo.
Things are hard for me as it is. Why must you make it harder?
No reason to keep the stuff they gave us.
I'm going to go give it back.
Honey...
Lady, tell Mr. Kim to get the car ready.
Mr. Kim!
Mom, please don't do this.
Dear, calm down.
Ga-eun, bring the box of wedding gifts.
Lady, I said call Mr. Kim.
Please calm down.
Don't be so emotional. What's important is how Ga-eun feels.
Ga-eun has to decide this.
What did I say from the start? Wasn't I against this marriage?
Why do you think I was?
Because a marriage has to be between two similar families.
Mom.
I respected Ga-eun's wishes and gave my permission.
But see how that family acts.
They curry to our favor to our faces but act vulgar behind our backs.
How can we become in-laws with that family?
Think Ga-eun will be happy with them?
Mom, I can live happily. So please don't do this.
How can you be happy with a rude family like that?
You think this is about my pride?
This is all for you.
Dear, if you care for Ga-eun don't stop me.
I refuse to become their in-laws. I'd rather die!
Mom.
Honey, calm down so we can discuss this.
Mom.
Jung-woo.
Perfect timing. Take this box with you.
We can't let you have Ga-eun.
We're now strangers, you got that?
Mom.
Mother, I'm so sorry.
Dear, we need to discuss this.
Jung-woo, have a seat.
Your mother sent you, did she?
Then relay my message.
We won't ever see each other again.
Mom, don't be like this.
I said I can be happy. I will!
Why are you so sure I won't be happy?
Jung-woo and I love each other. Isn't that enough?
Love? You say that because you're so clueless.
You think love solves everything?
Just 'cause you two love each other, you think you'll last forever?
Marriage is reality, and it's between two families.
Why haven't you thought of that?
It's not even a matter of money.
You can't be happy living with such impossibly shameless people!
It's not too late.
People get divorced even with children. You're not even married yet.
We can pretend none of this happened. It's not too late.
Mom, you're not the one getting married.
I'm saying it's fine, that I want to marry.
You have no right to do this to me.
What? What did you say?
Ga-eun!
Jung-woo. Don't get involved.
Pretend you didn't hear anything.
The ones getting married are us. It's okay as long as we're sure.
Don't pay attention to my mother.
- Ga-eun, you...! - Dear!
You think I want what's bad for you?
Right? Did you say right?
You saying we're not related, is that it?
You don't care that I only want you to be happy, right?
Why are you twisting my words?
You're not the one living my life. That's what I meant.
I know you're worried for me
but I'm angry that you're saying these things to Jung-woo.
You're right, it is your life.
I don't have to care whether you live a hard life or not.
So you want to set boundaries with me?
Fine, go ahead.
I won't get involved, so do as you want!
And this... This... I don't want it.
Take it away.
Mother.
Jung-woo.
Mother. Father. This is all my fault.
I understand how Mother feels, one hundred precent.
Jung-woo, don't. Don't kneel.
Jung-woo, don't.
Whatever my family lacks, I'll make it up to Ga-eun.
I'll care for her... love her... and make her happy.
Jung-woo.
I'm sorry.
That hurt your pride, didn't it?
Don't listen to what my mother says.
You know how I feel, right?
I do.
I'm sorry, Jung-woo.
I realized today how truly lacking I am.
Your mother was completely right.
My family is a part of me.
Marrying me means forging lasting relationships with my family.
I understand your mother. I know how much she loves her children.
That's why all of this happened. So don't say such things.
I love you.
And I'll love your family as well.
I'll make sure to heal the scars you received today.
Okay?
What now?
How do you like your room, Mi-ran?
My room? Who says I'm moving in?
Stop wasting your time.
You planning to leech onto that family even after Ga-eun's married?
Even you're not so shameless.
Listen to me good.
Jung-woo is not marrying Ga-eun.
Why? Because I won't let him.
Still saying that nonsense?
You still haven't given up, after all I've said?
Watch me.
The woman who ends up beside him will be me, not Ga-eun.
What?
So stop wasting your time with new wallpaper and such, okay?
Hey, Mi-ran! Mi-ran!
What am I gonna do about her?
Baby, what if Jung-woo demands we give back the money?
That's what I'm saying. We have to bring Mi-ran here.
That way we can figure out what she's planning.
Too bad we can't tie her down.
We need to think of a good plan.
The only thing we can do is get her out of that house.
If she says something to Ga-eun, we're through.
Marriage is reality, and it's between two families.
You can't be happy living with such impossibly shameless people!
Mi-ran, what are you doing here? You stalking me?
What are you babbling about? You called me.
I did?
Have a drink.
I don't feel too good. I think you're giving me ulcers.
That so? Then I'll drink it.
What act are you gonna put on for me today?
Get to the point.
What scheme are you gonna use today?
Still have something left to show me?
Yeah, I guess I do. Seeing how I called you here.
What's with the weak act?
Your life's perfect as long as I'm out of the picture.
Why? You hit a roadblock?
I want to quit this marriage and everything else.
