CHOI KANG-h* SCORES HIGHEST
ON THE 56TH BAR EXAM

I told you. I'm
not a churchgoer.

My son became a prosecutor
because I prayed

to a shaman.

Goodness. A shaman?

Ma'am, that's just superstition.

Your descendants will suffer
bad luck if you stand on a threshold.

But that's also a
superstition, right?

In that case,

- I'll just leave a Sunday bulletin.
- Okay.

- I wish you well.
- Thank you.

THE GOOD BAD MOTHER

Jeez.

SEX SCANDALS AND BRIBERY…

10 BILLION WON
MALPRACTICE AND EMBEZZLEMENT

JOU-RI

Unbeknownst to me,
these articles are making headlines.

I wonder what
tomorrow's headline will bring.

I'll find out who's behind this.

No need for
that. It's obvious.

What's the first
thing politicians do

when they gain power?

They go after
companies like mine.

What can I do? The
presidential election is coming up.

They have to create a distraction
if they want to save themselves.

Still, they crossed the line.
Don't you think?

Why did they use
such an unflattering photo of me?

Darn it.

Look at that double chin.

Jeez.

Don't worry, sir.

I'll take care of it.

Right. And…

This is my husband's old phone.

There's a recording of a call
he had with Woobyeok Construction.

Do you want to be my son?

Sorry?

I'd really love that.

How great would it be
if I had a reliable son like you?

Then I'd hand over
my business to you,

move to a place like Hawaii,
and fish every day.

But my one and only
grandson is a hellion.

Oh, right.

What do you mean
things will get troublesome?

Right. Well…

Due to the extreme
public outrage,

I'm afraid Mr. Park won't be able
to get a reduced sentence.

That's what it was?

Don't worry about that.

I was going to get rid of him
after this stint.

Thank you for
all your hard work.

Let me know if
you need anything.

Do you want another new car?

Oh, that reminds me.

How's your new
house? Do you like it?

It was a very generous gift.

Thank you so much.

I'll work even harder.

Forget it. Just keep
up the good work.

Do better, and you'll
make me go broke.

I'll get going then.

Hold on.

You seemed to have
forgotten something.

Put that down.

People laugh when I tell them
I play baseball.

They think it's ridiculous
when I can't even run.

But it's simple.

If I hit a home run,
I don't need to run.

Or I can strike out.

That's how I've lived my life.

Hit a home run or strikeout.

So that was the secret.

That was how you grew

Yongra Construction
into Woobyeok Group so quickly.

I'll keep that in mind.

"Hit a home run

or strikeout."

Gosh, that hurt.

Jeez, you've improved a lot.
You weren't so good not too long ago.

I practiced a lot.

To be honest, I've
always liked baseball.

But I could neither play with my friends
nor watch them on TV.

Why not?

- Because I wanted to meet you.
- What?

How would I ever have met you
had I not become a prosecutor?

I feel the same way.

It'd be wonderful
if I had a reliable father like you.

All right.

You can address me
as your father from now on.

May I really do that?

Look at you.

I've never seen you smile
from ear to ear before.

Then could we go
to a sauna together?

A sauna?

It was my lifelong dream
to scrub my father's back.

"Father"?

So this is how it feels.

I love it.

All right.

I'll let my son scrub my back!

"Hit a home
run or a strikeout."

Hey!

Please identify the source

and look into the related articles,
organizations, and victims.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

This is truly unfair!

My son would never k*ll anyone!

That wealthy chairman's grandson

framed my son!

- You know that!
- Sir!

All you need to say

is that my son
isn't the m*rder*r!

- Please stop...
- Sir!

Please, I beg you!

- Please!
- Please let go, sir.

- Jeez.
- Goodness.

You impudent b*stard!

Don't you have a father?

No, I don't.

But…

does having one change anything?

You can't even help your son.
You're powerless and incompetent.

What did you say?

Oh, dear…

JOU-RI

Goodness…

Your call could not be completed
and will be transferred to…

He must be busy.

Of course. You can't slack off
when you're doing important work.

Right. The ribs.

The seasoned vegetables,

stir-fried glass
noodles, pancakes, and…

All done, right?

Gosh, I can't reach it.

How did you hurt your back?

Those pain relief
patches only smell.

When you've hurt your back,

the best remedy is acupuncture.

No, I'm okay.

These pain relief patches
will work just fine.

A long time ago,
my uncle fell down the stairs once.

He thought he would be fine
just applying pain relief patches.

Then he became
paralyzed and bedridden.

He developed bedsores
that made his flesh rot.

It was terrible.

Why would you say
something like that?

I'm just saying.

How does your stomach feel?

Do you feel nauseous?

Or does it feel as if
you've been stabbed?

How would she know
how it feels to be stabbed?

Wouldn't she know?

I think it's just indigestion
from tasting all the food while cooking.

This will do the trick.

A long time ago,

my aunt kept downing that drink
whenever she had indigestion.

She passed away
after getting a hole in her stomach.

They opened her up,
and her organs had all melted.

What the hell is
the matter with you?

Why do you keep
rambling nonsense?

I'm just saying.

Don't worry.

My baby.

Right.

I'm thinking of naming
our puppy Kang-h*.

What?

Why that name?

If you think about it,

everyone with that
name seems to prosper.

There's Song Kang-h*
and there's Choi Kang-h*.

I want our puppy to prosper too.

A prosperous dog will still be a dog.
It won't turn into a tiger.

A tiger?

Oh, my.

Let's name our dog Tiger.

Then it'll become
a tiger, won't it?

Tiger, roar for me.

Roar for me.

Don't mind her.

So tell me. How's
our prosecutor doing?

He's never visited
ever since moving to Seoul.

He actually called in the afternoon
and said he'd come visit.

But I dissuaded him.

He has trials lined
up back to back,

so I told him to just
rest on the weekend.

I see.

I tracked down the IP
address of the posts

that were posted
on the media sites.

This is footage from an internet cafe
in Sangdo-dong.

I believe they're exposing
Woobyeok Group's corruption to the press.

HA-YOUNG

Did he reject your call again?

Yes.

Should I call one more time?

Hey.

Forget it. Just end it.

I get that he's busy,
but he's been ignoring you for days.

I'm pretty sure he's
seeing someone else.

Hey...

Oh, no. I'm sorry.

Hey, are you okay?

- Here...
- Oh, no.

Goodness, what's wrong?

My goodness!

Oh, dear. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Hurry up and apologize.

I'm so sorry.

Do you not know what I do?

Sorry?

I'm a ballerina.

Is that the best apology
after almost cutting off my toe?

Right.

I'm really sorry.

This is so annoying.

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Wait.

It's your turn now.

What?

Please apologize for kicking me.

Mi-joo, what's with you?

If you're that sensitive about your feet,
you shouldn't have come here.

- Have you gone crazy?
- No, ma'am.

Not yet.

But I will go crazy
if you don't apologize.

I won't apologize.

There.

What'll you do now?

What?

What?

I see.

In that case, it
can't be helped.

She didn't hit you.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

The last time I
felt this satisfied

was when I got my
first Brazilian waxing.

She shouldn't have provoked me.

But what are you
going to do now?

- I won't vote for him.
- What do you mean?

Vote for whom?

Her dad will be
running for president.

He'll never get my vote.

Sure. That's the
worst you could do.

I'm going to open a small salon

with the money I've saved up.

- A salon?
- Yes.

I wanted to save up for two more years
and open up a big one in Seoul.

But I should look outside the city
or a shop-in-shop.

- Mi-joo.
- Yes?

Me too. I want in.

- I'll chip in.
- Seriously?

I'll chip in so we can look
for a place on the outskirts of Seoul.

What do you say?

Sun-young, I would love that!

- Really?
- Yes!

Okay!

Then you can be the owner.

- What?
- I'll be the CEO.

What?

That's ridiculous.

- All right then.
- Okay.

I look forward to it, ma'am.

I'll do my best, Ms. CEO.

- Let me.
- You can speak casually.

MOM

Please excuse me
for a minute, Ms. CEO.

- Sure, go take the call.
- Thank you.

Hi, Mom.

I'm not your mom.

Who told you
you could use grandma's phone?

Grandma is dead.

What? What
are you saying?

Why is she dead?

She ran out.

"Ran out"?

Yes.

Goodness.

She ran out of cards,

so she lost the match
and all her money.

She's as good as
dead for this round.

Hey!

You startled me!

- Who's that?
- Mom.

Mom?

Do you mean

Mi-joo?

Your youngest daughter
who's in the US?

Give that to me.

Hello?

Mom, didn't I tell you
not to play cards with the kids around?

What?

You want to send me money?

Gosh, you don't need to send me
your hard-earned money.

Jeez, seems like Mi-joo is trying to
send you money. How lucky.

Her daughter sends her money

while we work like dogs
to buy food for our incarcerated son.

Why is my life so miserable?

I'm not sending you any money.

- Would you like me to read your fortune?
- And I won't be

sending you any money
for the time being.

I'm opening a nail salon.

What?

Your husband is opening
a nail salon for you?

Goodness. That's great.

What?

Good job.

"Nail"? What's
a "nail salon"?

Why did you call?

Ye-jin is the one who called.

I told you not to
give them your phone.

Watching videos
will worsen their eyesight.

If you're that concerned,
you can raise them instead.

Right. What happened
to that b*stard?

What b*stard?

The father of your children!

Goodness.

Have you found him?

Didn't we agree
not to talk about that anymore?

And I chose not to look for him.

It's over between us.

What are you talking about?

What will you say
to the people here?

What will you tell your kids?

They think you're
working hard in the US

and will send for them.

So why did you
have to lie to them?

Whatever. Just say
that I got divorced.

You want me to tell them that you,
alongside Jin-joo and Seon-joo,

are divorced as well?

Is our family
cursed or something?

Goodness. Do you know
how embarrassing it is?

You're the one
who started it all.

I never got a divorce.

But he left you
for another woman.

At least I was
married when I had kids!

- Hang up!
- Hang up!

This damned brat.

Why does her life
have to be so miserable like mine?

Goodness, you startled me.

Who had kids out of wedlock?

We were talking about a drama.

Sam-sik will be
discharged soon, right?

What should I do?

Should we carry out a ritual
when he gets discharged?

Just pack up and leave.

There's absolutely no ritual
that could fix this.

There's no deity who
can change his fate.

So just leave.

- Let me.
- It's okay.

Look who's here!

It's the woman
who's been blessed with everything.

Prosecutor Choi's
mother is here!

- Goodness.
- Hello.

- Gosh, you didn't have to.
- Hello.

- Come on in.
- It's okay.

I have to leave for Seoul.

I made geotjeori
and a few side dishes. Enjoy.

- So that's why you're all dolled up.
- Goodness.

- You're going to see your son.
- Yes.

What's wrong with your arm?

You seemed to be limping too.

I fell in the kitchen yesterday,
but I'm okay.

You're such a doting mother.

A successful prosecutor like him

must have good
and expensive food all the time.

Still, it's his birthday.

- Is it? Then you should go.
- Yes.

- Have a safe trip.
- Okay.

Please enjoy the food.

Ye-jin and Seo-jin, eat lots.

- Okay, goodbye.
- Okay, goodbye.

- Goodbye.
- Have a safe trip.

- Bye.
- Gosh.

How can I enjoy her food
when it looks like that?

It's tasty.

Try some.

Here.

I'm on a diet.

Hold on.

If it's Kang-h*'s birthday,
then it's Mi-joo's birthday too.

You're right.

Goodness.

You brat. You should've told me
it's your birthday today!

What's your bank account number?

So which building
and unit is it?

I'm calling him right now.

Why isn't he picking up?

Sir, it's me.

I'm at the address you sent me.
But which building and unit is it?

Sorry?

- I'm sorry.
- Okay.

What are you doing?

Pull up over there.

- Pull up.
- Okay.

One minute please.

You have a call from the lobby.

Yes?

Hello, sir. This is
the security office.

Your mother is here.

Tell her I'm not home.

Sorry?

Tell her you're not home?

But she brought a bunch of food.

Hello?

You see, Mr. Choi is…

What is it? Is
he not home yet?

I understand. He's one of
the top prosecutors in this country.

Of course he's busy.

I should've called in advance.

In that case,

could you please
give him these for me?

Goodness.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

Sir.

Do you see him at times?

Yes, every now and then.

How is he?
Does he look okay?

Does he look healthy?

Yes. He's such
a handsome man

who takes great care of himself.

Has he ever gotten drunk
and looked depressed?

No, I don't think so.

That's good. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

One minute.

Sorry?

If anything seems off,

please give me a call.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- No problem.
- Goodbye.

I wonder if she's eaten.

She seems to be in pain.

So what if he's a prosecutor?

He's so impudent.

CHOCO PIE

He's just
busy. That's all.

With a 33% approval rate,

Assemblyman Oh Tae-soo
defeated Park Gil-ung,

former chairman of Bareun Hanguk Party and
a leading candidate of the opposing camp,

and established himself
as the next presidential candidate.

Assemblyman Oh, who led
the ruling party to a landslide victory

as former committee chairman
of the Jeilmirae Party,

emerged as a leading
presidential candidate

through his election
and the party's victory.

BECOME A PASSIONATE
JUDICIAL OFFICER

Do you know why people bad-mouth
judicial officers of this country?

Because all they
know is to study.

But studying is merely a talent

just like singing or drawing.

It doesn't make
you superior to others.

Perhaps, those who only know
how to study could be the most inferior.

Let's be honest.

You don't have friends.

Aren't you all outcasts?

But those idiots act
as if being a prosecutor or a judge

is the most powerful right
a human could have.

That's why people bash them.

A true judicial officer must be able
to both think and feel.

Those with no friends
or empathy toward others

studied hard to
prosecute, defend,

and judge others?

No wonder the world
has turned out this way.

No wonder only the weak
and the innocent are victimized.

Let me ask you
future judicial officers for a favor

as an old, former
judicial officer.

We've been overworking our brains
for far too long.

So from now on,
let's stop doing that

and use our passionate hearts
to guide us instead.

OH TAE-SOO

That's enough.
Get going now.

Tae-soo, this is Choi Kang-h*.

He entered the institute
at the top of his class.

He's a talent who's always
placed first in his class.

Is that so?

- Are we alumni?
- Yes.

It's an honor to meet you, sir.

With your grades, it'll only be
a matter of time until you become a judge.

I actually aspire to
become a prosecutor.

You're his role model.

He's an avid fan of yours
who has memorized

all your books and theses.

Is that so?

I'm honored.

Not at all.

Goodbye, sir.

Have we met before?

You look familiar.

No, sir. We've never met.

But…

Actually,

- you've met my father...
- Dad.

We're late. Let's go.

Okay.

I need to go.

See you next time.

Yes, sir. I'll make
sure we meet again.

She's so pretty.

You're so pretty.

I'm not interested, so get lost.

You'll be interested soon.

Have you gone insane?

I didn't do any drugs.

Do you have proof?

This is driving me crazy.

You're going to regret this.

I won't let this slide.

I'll get all of you sacked.

You can take
your time with that.

What's this?

It's just medicine.

Exactly. What
kind of medicine?

Please answer.

It's for my panic disorder.

You have panic disorder?

It's not serious.

Wait! What are you doing?

Hey! What are you doing?

- Hey!
- Stay still.

- You lunatic!
- Stay still.

Wait! No!

Do you know how
expensive that is?

No! That's a
limited edition!

- They don't sell it anymore.
- Stay still!

- Please!
- The urinalysis came out.

They all tested negative.

I believe there was a mistake
in the report we received.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Are you?

That's all you can
say after ruining this?

I'll compensate for that.

My dad was a former prosecutor
so I know how much you make.

Don't be ridiculous.

This is more expensive
than your life.

Let's go.

Will it be okay?

It hurts, but I'm okay.

No, I'm talking about us.

It says here that she's the daughter
of Assemblyman Oh Tae-soo,

a former chief prosecutor.

What?

How may we help you?

I shouldn't have hit you.

That's okay.

It's all right.
He deserved it.

But by any chance,
will my time here be recorded?

You won't call my
parents, will you?

It was my first time clubbing.

Make that the second or third.

As for my panic disorder,

it's really not that bad.

I just…

have trouble sleeping.

I'm just taking it
to prevent it from worsening.

So let's pretend
today never happened.

You don't need
to compensate for the bag either.

I'm sick of it, so
I was going to throw it away anyway.

Then I'll assume
that you understand.

I'll go now.

Goodbye.

THE HOUSE OF LOVE SHARING, CULTURE DAY
WITH ASSEMBLYMAN OH TAE-SOO

You and me

We should be friends

And get along

Pinky promise

Promise me

Friends

Don't fight

Let's love each other

Pinky promise

Promise me

Come here. Hurry up.

Are you crazy?

How could you come here?

We agreed to forget about it.

I got you a new bag.

What?

What is this?

You actually got a new one?
It was a limited edition.

What?

Are you serious?

No way.

What's this?

Where's the bag?
This is just a dust bag…

Sir.

You do know how well-respected
your father is, right?

The people trust and support him
due to his humility.

So should you carry
such an expensive bag

and go clubbing with
your wealthy friends?

Stop tainting his reputation
and carry that from now on.

Who are you to
tell me what to do?

What is this?

Jujubes are said to be
natural tranquilizers.

You said your
symptoms weren't severe,

so don't take any medication.

Just have some
jujube tea before bed.

I went to the marketplace in the morning
to get them, so don't throw them away.

What the…

Dad.

- Happy birthday to you.
- Thanks.

I'm glad my daughter...

Who is he?

Hello, I'm Choi Kang-h*.

You must be surprised.

He's your birthday gift.

Your future son-in-law.

What?

You brat.

What took you so long
to introduce such a fine, young man?

All right. Have a seat.

That's right.

Judicial Research
and Training Institute.

No wonder you seemed familiar.

It must've been hard

to grow up without a father.

But he grew up so well
and became a competent prosecutor.

Even I'm proud of you.

I still have a long way to go.
I hope to learn from you.

All right.

I hope we get along.

Yes, sir.

It's getting late.

How about you ladies
give us some privacy?

Why?

What will you talk
about without us?

Men have things
to talk about among themselves.

- Right?
- Yes, you're right.

Exactly.

Don't make him drink too much.

- It's okay.
- Look at that.

A daughter will always
put her boyfriend first.

Honey, take her.

- Call me when you get home.
- I will.

See you again, ma'am.

Bye, Dad.

Bye.

So what will it be?

Sorry?

The reason for your breakup.

Another woman?

Or do you want to be
sent abroad for work?

Or I could make you a corrupt prosecutor
and send you to prison.

I can't suddenly k*ll you off.

You reek of something.

Ever since we first met.

What could it be?

Is it the smell of dirt

since you came
from the bottom up?

- Father.
- "Father"?

You're funny.

Listen carefully.

You two will break
up within a week.

And Ha-young will marry into Dosang Group
as I had planned.

"Father"?

Someone like you can
never call me Father.

Though you must not understand
since you don't have a father.

Kang-h*.

What's all this?

Don't tell me you're
seeing another woman.

Hold on! My foot.

I hurt my toe today.

Let me in for just a minute.

Kang-h*. It's
not true, right?

Ta-da.

I even got you a birthday gift.

- Go home.
- How are you so heartless?

Are you really
ending it with me?

I'm doing this not to do that.

But if you keep doing this,
it'll hinder my plan.

Your plan?

What is it?

DNA TEST RESULT

Corporate sales, which were to be reduced
to the global economic downturn,

have actually increased
by 21.5% compared to last year.

Here are the documents
I told you about on…

PROBABILITY OF
PATERNITY: 99.9%

Home run!

This is a true home run.

A walk-off grand
slam with two outs.

So you're saying

that Hwang Soo-hyun gave birth
to Oh Tae-soo's baby?

Correct.

That idiot.

He had no idea what was coming

when he betrayed
me for Dosang Group.

So what if he steals a base?

He just hit into a double play.

He doesn't know
about the child yet.

She was afraid that he'd harm her
and the child if he found out.

So she quit and hid as soon as
she found out about her pregnancy.

A secret about him that
he doesn't even know exists.

This is…

very valuable information.

Right?

By the way, why are
you giving me this?

Isn't that why you took me in?

If you have the future president
in your hands,

Woobyeok Group
will be invincible.

However,

this isn't the original paper.

You must want a favor from me.

Please take me
in as your real son.

What did you say?

I want to become your legal son.

Then as your son,

I will marry Oh
Tae-soo's daughter.

You'll have Oh Tae-soo.

Oh Tae-soo will have me.

And I'll have a father.

None of us will be able
to betray one another.

We'll become a true family.

What if I refuse?

What can a son
who's been abandoned by his father do?

I'll have to find a new father.

A father never
abandons his child.

She was a smart secretary of mine
who knew how the company worked.

I entrusted you with her

so you'd find a way
to save my company.

But instead, you knocked her up.

Where's Hwang Soo-hyun?

How will you lead the country
if you're this slow?

Hwang Soo-hyun isn't
the one you should meet.

It's Choi Kang-h*.

If that kid takes
this information

and sides with the
Bareun Hanguk Party,

it'll be the end for both of us.

Let's be honest.

You and I have gotten our hands dirty
for the past 30 years.

Don't you agree?

Judging by

how he even found out about
Hwang Soo-hyun,

he must have many
cards up his sleeve.

I heard you opposed his relationship
with your daughter.

It seems to have
hurt his pride greatly.

I believe that's when he started
digging up dirt on you.

How about we let them
get back together first?

As for the parts
you believe he lacks,

I'll fill them in.

What do you mean?

I'm going to

adopt Choi Kang-h* as my son

who will have the right
to inherit my business.

Will you get rid of the original copy
of the DNA test result in front of me?

Come on. Getting rid of that paper
won't change anything.

Right?

He'll get rid of them
as if they never existed.

My son will do that.

Right?

You'll be safer
there than in Korea.

No one will be able to find you.

Don't worry too much.
It'll all work out.

Thank you for the drink.

I took care of it.

We finally have
our own nail salon!

NAIL & NAIL

Sun-young…

Why are you crying?

Why would you cry
on such a delightful day?

You're the one who cried first.

You know what?

I'm going to make a ton of money

and bring my kids back.

I'm going to buy them

whatever food they want

and dress them in
all the pretty clothes.

I will.

It's not smelly, right?

It's thanks to our homemade
doenjang.

Have some aged
kimchi too. It's tasty.

It would've been perfect
if there was skate.

Skate and celebrations
go hand in hand.

I'm sure someone
will bring some.

Gosh, do you
hear those two kids?

Kids these days
learn so quickly.

They learn too quickly.

I suddenly miss my late mother.

-It'll be fun
-This is too salty.

to hit a ball with this.

This is too bland.

Do you want some?

Even a dog doesn't want it.

Goodness.
Young-soon is so lucky.

She went through so much
to raise her son by herself.

And now, he's a prosecutor
and an assemblyman's son-in-law.

Things are looking up for her.

It's more than just that.

Her social status will change.

Social status, my foot.

And if that's the case,
she should've hired a catering service.

Look at this.

How will we feed
all those people with that much meat?

We can slaughter
a pig if need be.

There's no need to worry about that
when she has a pig farm.

Nice one.

You must be tired.

- Hello.
- Let me do it.

Gosh, you reek.

Go wash up.

Yes, leave this up to us.

Go get dressed up.

Will you greet the assemblyman's daughter
while looking like that?

You little…

I told you not to tell anyone.

She also told me
to keep it a secret.

Right.

Well, it's good news, so…

By the way, who's
the assemblyman?

My son's colleague
told me the news,

but I don't know
who it is exactly.

Anyway, please don't say these things
in front of Kang-h*.

- Okay?
- Of course.

It's great that he's marrying
an assemblyman's daughter.

But honestly, it's
not great news for us.

To be honest,
we didn't benefit from Kang-h*

going to law school
and becoming a prosecutor, did we?

Darn it.

We could've gotten
that done at a mill.

Look at that old man
overworking himself.

At that age, he…

Never mind. Keep going.

You weren't talking
about me, were you?

Hey, Sung-ae!

- Go ahead and hit.
- She's bitter about

how Sam-sik was
incarcerated for theft.

She begged Kang-h*
not to put her son behind bars,

but he refused to listen.

She's still bitter about that.

Just let her be.

Okay.

What's the big deal about marrying
an assemblyman's daughter?

I should go home.

My dog hasn't been eating much
due to her labor pains.

When's the date?

Seeing how she's spotting,
it'll be today or tomorrow.

No, I'm talking about Sam-sik.

I'm going to ask Kang-h* to help him
get a job when he comes today.

Where are the mung
beans? There they are.

Move.

I know Kang-h* likes
mung bean pancakes.

SILLIM FRESH RAW FISH

REJECT

My head hurts.

You didn't have to come.

I should meet her at least once.

After all, she's your mother.

And I can drive
when you feel tired.

Oh, right.

I'm just going to get
a five-carat diamond ring.

Smaller ones are
trendier nowadays.

Only those who want
to come off as wealthy

go for big rings.

And my dad's presidential election
is coming up as well.

Darn it.

What?

You got 0.5 carats?

Only big department stores
in Seoul have them.

- There's a warranty in there too.
- A warranty?

In there. Underneath.

Come on. Stay still.

The gem sure looks huge.

Goodness. 0.5 carats?

Wait. Don't touch it.

- I wasn't going to.
- You look nice.

It would've been wonderful
had Kang-h* and Mi-joo ended up together.

Remember?

When they were kids,

we promised to become in-laws.

Your daughter
is happily married in the US.

What are you saying?

I'm just saying.

By the way,

why did you get this
when they haven't set a date yet?

I also got a ring
before I got married.

He brought a pig with the ring
around its neck when he proposed.

Gosh.

He would've been delighted
had he been alive.

You're all done.

You look like Brooke Shields.

No wonder Sam-sik is dexterous.
He takes after his mother.

Why are you bringing up
his dexterity right now?

What is this?
Is it a backhanded compliment?

What are you talking about?

It's only natural for your child
to take after you.

Sure, but we're
talking about Sam-sik.

What do you think?

This is a set.

Goodness, you look gorgeous.

You look like a forsythia.

- Do I look okay?
- Yes.

She has a good eye
for picking out the right colors.

Tell me about it.

How did you think of
picking such a color?

Vivid colors are
on trend nowadays.

I don't want her to think that

I'm a hillbilly with
no fashion sense.

How dare a woman
look down on her mother-in-law?

Who cares who her father is?

Reject her if
you don't like her.

- Goodness.
- She's right.

I'm telling you,
whoever and whatever it may be,

you need to show them
who's boss from the get-go.

That way, they
won't cause problems.

Be confident. Okay?

Okay.

Young-soon, come out!

I can't seem to find the drinks.

Coming!

Doesn't she look
like a pickled radish?

She's gone.

Her hair looks great though.

I think she'll be
looked down on.

Right?

- Pickled radish!
- Pickled radish!

- Goodness. We have no pickled radish.
- Kids always tell the truth.

Drink slowly.

Young-soon.

Come and have a drink with us.

Come sit.

I'll eat after I meet
Kang-h*'s fiancée.

Right.

It's your first time
meeting her, right?

- Yes.
- Gosh.

Kang-h* shouldn't
be like this to his mother.

It's understandable.

His mother worked
so hard to raise him,

so how could he only now
introduce his fiancée to her?

- He's very busy.
- Right.

To be honest, I'm
elated that he's visiting us today.

Of course.

- Hold on.
- What?

Do you think he's coming here

to take Young-soon to Seoul?

Seoul?

Think about it.
Jong-h* did that too.

He took his parents to Seoul
before getting married.

- You're right.
- You're right.

That could happen.
So she's going to Seoul?

It makes sense.

After all, his future father-in-law
is an assemblyman.

Kang-h* wouldn't let his mother
keep living here all by herself.

What now?

Is this goodbye for us?

This is great.

What will happen
to your farm then?

Leave your potato farm to me.

Oh, dear. Hold on.

Goodness.

You'll still help Sam-sik
get a job, right?

You will, right?

- Young-soon.
- Sung-ae.

Oh, no. Is this farewell?

He's here!

Kang-h* has arrived from Seoul!

- He's here.
- Kang-h*? He's here!

- Kang-h*!
- Hurry up!

- Kang-h*!
- Kang-h*!

- Goodness. Kang-h*!
- Goodness.

Goodness.

- Oh, my!
- Goodness!

She's so pretty.

How pretty.

You're here.

I'm the village head.

Hello.

We sincerely welcome
you two to Jou-ri,

a village with clear water

and good-hearted people.

There's no body of water here.

And why do you sound like an AI?

You're unbelievable.

Everyone, this is
Prosecutor Choi Kang-h*

and her fiancée,
an assemblyman's daughter.

Let's all bow… No.

Give them a round of applause.

I told you not to
mention her father.

It must've been a long trip.

Come on in.

- Come on.
- Go in.

- Goodness.
- Hello.

- She's pretty.
- Behave.

Come on.

You must be hungry.

Let's eat first.

- I have something to tell you.
- Gosh.

What's the rush?

Let's eat first and talk later.

- Come here.
- Ma'am.

You're so beautiful.

- How about you sing a song?
- That's a good idea.

- Sing for us!
- Sing for us!

- Sing for us!
- Sir.

You can't get married
if you can't sing

-You're so mean
-Gosh, this is embarrassing.

- So mean!
- If you can't get married

- Kang-h*.
- You can't…

I have something to say!

- Goodness.
- Go inside.

Come in. Goodness.

Last night,

your father visited
me in my dreams.

Have a seat.

He was silent and
glared at me as if he was upset.

I thought long and hard about
why he was sulking so much.

He must've been jealous that
I would be the only one to witness this.

Gosh, you're beautiful.

How old are you?

I'm 27.

You have the perfect age gap.

Hold on.

I got this at the biggest
jewelry shop in town.

They're diamonds.

I see.

Can you wait outside?

Okay.

Why?

I know that brand.

You know…

Vutton!

- It's a luxury handbag.
- I see.

What are those boxes?

It says "fur…"

As in animal fur?

Animal fur? Maybe
it's a mink coat.

It could be.

I heard they skin minks alive.

Don't say something so horrific.

By the way, what
are those boxes?

Do you think they're for us?

What are you doing there?

Goodness.

Come to think of it, your fiancée
was born in the Year of the Pig.

It must be destiny.

Who am I?
I'm a pig farmer.

She was destined to marry
into our family, right?

What is this?

"Adoption Agreement"?

What is this?

Are you going to adopt a child?

Why?

Can she not get pregnant?

I will be adopted by Chairman Song
who has been raising me all along.

Please stamp your seal there.

- What?
- Be quiet.

What…

What are you saying?

Who raised you?
Who's adopting you?

I'm your mom.

I gave birth to you.

What are you talking about?

I'm going to become
Chairman Song's son,

inherit his business,
and become an assemblyman's son-in-law.

Wait.

Wait, Kang-h*. What
are you talking about?

I get that money
and power are great.

But you can't cut
ties with your mom.

Isn't this what you wanted?

What…

CONSENTING PARTY: JIN YOUNG-SOON
SIGNATURE OR SEAL

All right.

I'll always be your mom.

This piece of
paper won't matter.

I'm happy as long as you are.

Let me ask you one question.

Did you propose the idea?

You didn't, right?

He did, right?

You didn't want to, but he forced you
because he needs you, right?

Am I right?

Wait.

Kang-h*.

I can't let you go like this.

Have some food before you go.

Food?

You're inviting me to eat

when I've never been able
to enjoy a meal with you?

Then take this.

Take this with you.

Why won't you take this?

I get that you're embarrassed by me
since I'm a poor hillbilly.

But why won't you take this?

These are all brand new.

They sell these
at big department stores in Seoul.

There's a
warranty too. Kang...

Kang-h*…

- Does this make sense?
- I don't know.

Goodness.

Wait. Kang-h*.

Kang-h*.

Kang-h*.

Wait.

They're mung bean
pancakes, your favorite.

Have some on your way, okay?

Kang-h*!

What an impudent punk!

Goodness.

Look at this handbag.

She must have good taste
because she lives in Seoul.

Goodness.
This is very light.

I can barely feel it.

By the way,

if Chairman Song adopts him,

does that mean he'll
be Song Kang-h* now?

Don't worry about me.

Gosh.

I've been running on an empty stomach.
I'm hungry now.

Why are you out here?

We have lots of
food inside. Go inside.

Go inside.

- Okay.
- Gosh.

Go away, kids.

Kids, go play.

Go.

The smell is making me carsick.

Are we really taking that home?

I hope my clothes
won't reek of it.

Kang-h*.

Kang-h*.

Kang-h*…

Kang-h*.

Should I drive instead?

Okay. I'm sorry.

Kang-h*.

Are you okay?

It still reeks.

Kang-h*.

No.

Kang-h*, no…

No!

Kang-h*!

Kang-h*!

THE GOOD BAD MOTHER

My son won't die.

I won't let him die.

What? Kang-h*?

- I'm telling you.
- Then what will happen to Kang-h*?

Just watch and see.

Our son will walk
out of that room.

He'll stand here
and look at you.

I'll make sure he does.

I hope you learn English quickly
so we can live together.

That was the worst
sin you could commit.

Letting others use you.

My son woke up!

It's me, Mom.

Do you recognize me?
