EPISODE 12

Eighth floor.

Come home soon.
It's dangerous to be out late.

Okay.

She's not a young girl.
You don't need to worry.

Plus, she has a car.

Does Pi-young have a distant relative?

-Pi-young?
-Yes.

No. Why?

I stopped by to give Ji-a her gift today.

-Did you see her?
-Just for a minute.

She was going to the library
with her friends.

The housekeeper said Pi-young went
to say hello to her future in-laws.

I asked her if someone
in the family was getting married,

but she was hesitant to answer.

I called you earlier today
because I was curious.

She can't be getting married, can she?

-That's ridiculous. Of course not.
-Then?

She's close with Ms. Lee.
Maybe they're visiting her in-laws.

But still.

Why would she go there?
She's not related to her.

Ms. Lee is marrying her colleague.

Oh, could that be why?

But the housekeeper was a bit strange.

Women tend to have
the weirdest imaginations.

I'm basing this on what I heard.

Didn't you invite Ji-a for a meal?

You should text her.

She's at a sensitive age
and she seemed busy.

I'll put this in your room.

I would love to.

Me too.

I'll think about it.

What's there to think about

when his future wife wants to move in?

-Your grandpa wants you guys to move in.
-He's lonely.

But you could feel uncomfortable
about that, right?

You may not be allowed to sleep in,

and he could nag you.

He's too busy to nitpick about things.

And even if he does,
they should listen to their elders.

Even if they agree with that

it never feels good to be nagged at.

People need to socialize.

No one can live alone.

Your maternal grandpa
used to say that often.

When COVID-19 was at its peak,

my friend went to the airport
to visit her aunt in the States.

But the vast airport
was pretty much empty.

Incheon International Airport
is a wonderful place,

but the lack of people
made it seem desolate.

She didn't feel too great.

That's when she realized
what beautiful beings people are.

No matter how great
and beautiful a house is,

it's meaningless if no one lives there.

It may be uncomfortable to live together,

but I think it'll be good.

Ji-a will probably like it as well.

-Are you for it too?
-Yes.

Do you not want to?

That's not why. It doesn't matter to me.

Will you really be okay?

I'm not that difficult to live with.

Had I known this would happen,

I would've introduced you
to my mom sooner.

I regret it.

She should've at least met
her future daughter-in-law.

When I heard the news,

my heart sank.

I thought she had collapsed
due to shock after finding out about me.

Drink slowly.

Neither of us has a mom now.

You're all I have,

and I'll be devoted to you.

You still have your father and brother.

Thank you

for being willing to move in.

Your father was generous enough
to take us in.

Am I still not trustworthy?

I trust you. I have confidence in you.

Will you give me a lot of love?

I'll give you 80 percent
of the love you give me.

I'm going to love you

with all my heart.

So brace yourself.

Okay.

Your father looked amazing

despite his age.

I hope you age the same way.

-I will, as long as you don't worry me.
-Of course not.

Stay strong, Director Seo.

As long as you're with me.

Sa-hyeon must be happy

that you cut down on work
and spend more time at home.

Now that I have more time,
he's the one who's busy.

Men should always be busy.

Jeong-bin can tell the difference.

He looks happier
when he's wearing a cotton diaper.

He sure does.
He knows what's more comfortable.

It would be wonderful if you got pregnant
and gave birth to a daughter next year.

Jeong-bin would have a sister.

She's right.

You'll be in your mid-thirties next year.
You should hurry.

You should give birth when you're young
so you can recover quickly.

A child would be delighted
to have a young and healthy mother.

I have an abnormal uterus.

They said getting pregnant
will be difficult.

Who said that? The doctor?
Did you get a checkup?

I did.

When?

Get a second opinion.
Maybe it's a misdiagnosis.

I saw the photos.

I have Jeong-bin.

Does Sa-hyeon know?

No. It's nothing important.

I'd love to! That'd be great.

How so?

I'd be living with Hyang-gi
and everyone else.

I won't need to wait for you
to come home, and she can help me study.

Will you keep treating U-ram as a friend?

Of course.

But you'll be cousins.

And you're five months older.

Does that change things?

He'll have to treat me with more respect.

Do you think he'd want to?

What can he do?
I'm five months his senior.

Danchu!

I'm so excited!

Don't act too happy
when you see Grandpa next week.

He's still in mourning.

I'm not that slow-witted.

How was Director Seo feeling today?

Hey.

Do you think Hye-ryung
was aware of her condition early on?

Perhaps.

That means she divorced because she knew
she couldn't get pregnant.

She acted like she was doing us a favor

and made sure
we gave her everything she wanted.

So what?

It doesn't matter
since they're back together now.

I get it now.

She knew she couldn't get pregnant.

That's why
she's fallen in love with Jeong-bin

despite not being his birth mom.

There was something else
that I found strange.

The way she talked sounded familiar.

Turns out, it was similar to Song Yuan's.

I thought the same thing.

Then do you think…

You think so too, right?

That can't be.

What are you thinking?

That's impossible.

Let's go to bed.

What if I'm right?

She never mentioned
her condition until now.

It isn't like her.

She mentioned it as if it was nothing.

Don't you agree? That's not like her.

Can't we ask for help?

Ask who?

A shaman. A gifted one.

There aren't any these days.

We live in the age of science.

This has nothing to do with science.

We both noticed
that she had suddenly changed.

We find it odd.

First, I thought
she was just being capricious.

But even still,
what about her way of speaking?

Of all people,

she sounds exactly like Song Yuan.

She never ate in the past,
but she has a great appetite now.

Exactly.

What if it's really true?

It reaped a good result, though.
They got back together.

At first, she immediately refused
to get back together with him.

Could that be why Sa-hyeon fell for her

after ignoring her all this time?

Maybe he felt something spiritually.

I'm getting goosebumps.

But why are you only getting them
on your arms?

I have them too.

-Do we still have some sweet potatoes?
-Yes, sir.

I'd like that instead.

And the ice cream Pi-young brought.

Yes, sir.

Please clean the table.

Is that what you're having?

Yes.

This is the only food I can eat.

Ban called.

He says he'll move in.

-Really?
-Yes.

I see.

That looks good.

Have a bite.

They were smart to bring such food.

Rather, they were wise and considerate.

They were considerate of you.

Young women always expect
to be catered to.

Being older doesn't always make you wiser

just like how being young
doesn't always make you inconsiderate.

I hope no one will say
I don't live up to my age.

That would be absurd.

You're the head of SF Group.

Be friendly to Ban's family
once they move in.

You seem so cold

when you're quiet.

Speak for yourself.

Don't make the kids
walk on eggshells around you.

How's Mother doing?

She has her ups and downs,

but she hasn't done
anything unusual lately.

She's keeping herself occupied.

Why did you buy Ji-a such an expensive bag
and even put money inside?

The money is from Yu-sin.

He wants to have a meal with her
before she starts school.

I'll tell her.

I heard you visited
your future in-laws yesterday.

Your housekeeper must've heard you wrong.

It's true. I'm getting married.

No way. Really?

-Yes.
-Congratulations.

I wonder who it is.

I don't think that's any of your concern.

Right. I was just curious.

Are you driving?

-Yes.
-Let's hang up then.

Okay. Bye, Pi-young.

Danchu.

Unbelievable.

I've been keeping myself busy lately,
so my mind doesn't wander. I like it.

If I could sing,
I would've auditioned for a musical.

But I'm a lost cause.

No one can have everything.

I'll grow old alone.

Let's talk again in ten years.
You have so many avid male fans.

And that's all they are.

Hye-ryung looked better
in her recent wedding photos

than in her previous ones.

You know,

I became teary-eyed while singing
as they walked down the aisle.

What for?

When they were walking down,

her face overlapped with Song Won's.

I just couldn't stop myself from crying.

I could barely sing.

How did the groom look?

He was happy.

What a b*stard.

How could he be so brazen
in front of you of all people?

I truly miss Jeong-bin,
but I won't go to see him.

I don't like
his grandparents anymore either.

In any case, Jeong-bin is growing
day by day and needs a mom.

Hye-ryung of all women
could be the best fit.

She may favor her own child
if she has one.

Does this mean
you and Yu-sin will finally get married?

He was reluctant because of Ji-a.

But now that Pi-young's getting married,
he won't feel sorry anymore.

I'm happy for you.

Being patient goes a long way.

It depends on the situation.

Your cooking skills improved.

I agree.

Being a wife suits you better
than being an actress.

I'd love to cook for Ji-a one day.

You're more open
since you've lived abroad.

Yu-sin's ex-wife
is an incredible woman. I admire her.

Is she a stay-at-home wife?

To be honest,

I didn't think it was right
to gossip about her.

But she's the producer
of Boo Hye-ryung's music show.

Does that mean…

You guys probably met on that show.

Talk about an entwined fate.

Ms. Lee probably told her
everything about me.

Did she say anything about me?

We're not exactly close.

Hold on.

Is Ms. Lee Professor Park's ex-wife?

-You're right.
-She's getting married too.

With someone else
other than Professor Park?

Yes. I heard it was her colleague.

Goodness. I thought they would
get back together immediately.

Maybe divorced women
have men wrapped around their fingers

since they know them well.

I can't believe it.
She didn't seem to be the type.

Never judge a book by its cover.

It's my treat as your sister.

What sister?

Don't you like sausage bread?

I'm five months older.

It doesn't matter. We're the same age.

We'll be cousins soon.

We need to straighten this out
in front of the adults.

We can't be friends.

It'll hurt my pride to be nagged at.

-Eat up.
-But still.

I don't think it's right.

What do you mean?

You're my sister now?

Once we live together.

We'll take care of Danchu together.
Wouldn't that be great?

It would be.

What else?

I don't know. We'll see.

-Thank you.
-My pleasure.

I feel like a queen.

Let's do this often.

When we went to visit
our father-in-law yesterday,

I could tell that he was despondent.

Of course.

As men grow old, they need their wives
to take care of them.

Given his age,
I don't think he'll remarry.

Who knows?

If he wanted to,
he wouldn't have asked us to move in.

His late wife was quite young too,

so it'll be hard to find one
who meets his expectations.

Plus, he's handsome and successful.

I had no idea SF Electronics
owned Min General Hospital too.

Mr. Seo sure is tight-lipped.

Most men would have loved
to brag about their status.

By the way, do you think
we'll really need three housekeepers?

No.

You and I can take turns cooking.

-We just need someone who can clean.
-Right.

The other two can work
at the hospital or the company cafeteria.

Right.

Ms. Choi doesn't seem like a pushover.

I agree.

Ms. Yu Jeong-ae?

Yes.

I heard you refused to take any medicine.

Take it unless you want to stay here.

At least I'd get to see you every day.

It won't upset your stomach.

You must not like them.

I become groggy and irritated
whenever I take it.

How do you feel now?

I feel great whenever I see you.

You need to take it.

-You can see me when you're healthy too.
-Right.

I told you not to come here.

-I don't feel well.
-In what way?

I'm nauseous and dizzy.

I don't have time to joke around.

-You have ten minutes.
-Pi-young is getting married.

-She is?
-Yes. We talked over the phone.

-She was joking.
-She wasn't.

I asked who the man was,
and she said it was none of my concern.

Seeing how she visited her future in-laws,
the wedding must be around the corner.

Dr. Shin.

I feel so light.

Massages are addictive.

I think I'm already addicted.

It's a healthy addiction.

But expensive.

You should enjoy the luxuries of life.

You definitely deserve to.

My parents should have seen me
living like this before passing away.

Given their age, they might have wanted me
to grow old with Hae-ryun.

Perhaps. For your children's sake.

I knew Mr. Seo had a big heart,
but he still surprised me.

He's very considerate of my kids.

Aren't you more grateful for that
than his feelings toward you?

I should treat him well.

Both brothers are family-oriented.

They're just like their father.

Our father-in-law may have remarried once,

but he thinks the world of his boys.

It must have broken his heart
whenever he saw his eldest son.

Now that we'll be living together,
they can talk it out and reconcile.

And it's up to us.

This was a huge decision for Mr. Seo.

It sounded like
he pretty much cut ties with his father.

He must have healed a lot through loving
and receiving love from you.

And he must feel more settled now.

Plus, he must feel sorry for his father.

Things must be hard for him
to ask us to move in with him.

I'm glad our kids are up for it.

I agree. Ji-a is delighted.

She must have been quite lonely all along

although she never showed it.

-We'll shampoo your hair now.
-Okay.

-Are you leaving now?
-Yes.

Please buy some shepherd's purse tomorrow.
They're in season.

Okay.

Since I need to stop by the organic mart,
I'll come by 10:30 a.m.

Okay.

Is it true

-that you're getting married?
-Yes.

-With who?
-Why does it concern you?

-A colleague?
-No.

I'm the one getting married.
It's none of your business.

You can get married, but I'm taking Ji-a.

I have custody of her.

Not anymore. You're getting married.

She needs her real dad.

-Shouldn't you marry A Mi too?
-I won't.

Maybe not for now.

I'll file a lawsuit if I have to.

I gave up on any division of property
and alimony to get custody of Ji-a.

Then you can take your share now.
I'll give it to you.

It may be your second marriage,
but having a lot of money won't hurt.

For both his and your sakes.

Were you always this low?

I'll know everything
once I file the lawsuit.

What does that punk do?

"Punk"?

If you hire five attorneys, I'll hire ten.

And if you hire ten, I'll hire twenty
from Park and Ji Law Firm.

Will you squander all your money?

If you're done, just go.

-What about Ji-a?
-What?

Does she like him?

-Yes.
-Why isn't she home?

-She's at her friend's.
-Is this why you took custody of her?

So she'd have a stepdad?

Not all stepdads are terrible.

You must've landed a nice one.

-Watch what you say.
-Brag about him.

Are you sure you're
a mental health professional?

I didn't know this before,
but you sure love men.

It takes one to know one, right?

That's rich coming from you.

Get out. You're not welcome here.

The housekeeper
won't let you in ever again.

I will never let my daughter
be raised by a stepdad!

Don't you know me?
I won't let you raise her either.

Who in the world is she marrying?

I'm curious too.

What did Yu-sin say?

Tell her not to call her father back
even if there's a missed call.

-Tell her to turn it off.
-Got it.

And this…

I'm sorry to interrupt.
Ji-a, is your phone off?

The number you have dialed
cannot be reached--

You're really enjoying it.

I suddenly had a craving for bibimbap.

I'm glad we had the ingredients.

You must have been famished.

Not really, but I still have an appetite.

Don't I eat well these days?

Yes.

You were always worried
about gaining weight.

I haven't gained any weight.

I must have a fast metabolism.

Taking care of the baby must exhaust you.

It's not like
she does it for hours on end.

She's not with him all day long.

Jeong-bin might be awake.

He would cry.

Still.

Let me.

He could have rolled over.

Come on. They need to be
at least five months old to do that.

Who knows?

I think Jeong-bin will be a quick learner.

Do you adore him that much?

Do you not?

Of course, I do.

Have some water too.

Okay.

I think I'm right.

Don't you agree?

Even her palate has changed.

She has Song Yuan's taste.

Right?

I don't know.

You do know.

Hye-ryung never liked seasoned vegetables.

She liked bread, cereal, and meat.

She only had salad

and stayed away
from seasoned vegetables and kimchi.

Can you empathize with me now?

Call Si-eun right now.

I doubt she'll tell me.

Just try.

-Is she not picking up?
-The line is busy.

She's probably on the phone with that guy.

Why haven't they gotten married yet?
Maybe they split.

It's because of the funeral.

Whose funeral?

The chairman's wife.

Her future mother-in-law?

Your dad isn't too happy.

What will you do
if he asks you to live with him?

He has AM.

Yes, but AM isn't her daughter.

You're his first priority.

Everyone knows how much he loves you.

He may not want to marry AM
because of you.

It doesn't matter.

Your opinion matters.

He might file a lawsuit.

Will he really go that far?

Does he think he can own me?

-Don't worry about it.
-I can't help it.

I thought my opinion mattered.

Maybe Si-eun's fiancé
introduced a friend of his to her.

Try calling again.

She's not calling back.

I doubt she's still on the phone.

She's not picking up.

She won't pick up my calls anymore.

I can't stop by today.

I heard my father's home,
so I'm on my way.

-Being alone will be rough for him.
-Right.

Are you feeling unwell?

No.

Is something wrong?

Say it before I turn my car around.

My ex-husband stopped by.

He's going to sue me.

He doesn't want you to get married?

-For Ji-a.
-That's absurd.

We're home.

-Keep the change.
-Thank you.

I'll meet with him. Give me his number.

-What will you do?
-Fix the situation.

I don't mind the lawsuit.

I'm worried about the commotion.

He can get pretty stubborn.

Just like everyone else.

I don't want to put you
in a tight spot at work

-or in front of your father.
-Don't worry about that.

He asked me who I was marrying,
but I didn't tell him.

I don't care if you tell him.
Give me his number.

Okay.

If anything happens, tell me right away.

I finally feel a bit relieved.
It had been bothering me.

Women should always be carefree.
Do you know why?

Why?

If not, they'll age.

I'm not happy to hear that at all.
It actually worries me.

Will you leave me once I get all wrinkly?

I'll eat my hat if I do.
I'll actually help you look younger.

But what if I age?

It doesn't matter.

If you get too stressed,
I'll even sacrifice my skin for you.

Rest up. Don't worry about a thing.

Okay.

I love you.

What?

I didn't hear that. What did you say?

Then never mind.

I just said you should hurry home.

Mr. Kim, to Ji-a's.

I love you.

I'll call you when I get home.

Okay.

Did you meet Pi-young?

Have some honey water.

Why did you drink?

Are you upset that she's getting married?

Go sleep in your room.

POSSESSION

What I said came true.

Remember what I said?

When I was opposing your marriage,

I said your mom

would have a heart attack and collapse.

That's exactly what happened.

She was very healthy
apart from her high blood pressure.

Calm down, Dad.

-How am I supposed to live?
-You have me.

Do you think you can help me
scratch my back when I need it?

I will

so call me anytime.

I'll rush over even when I'm out drinking.

You miss her too, right?

U-ram's mother

is getting married
to her colleague, an engineer.

Why are you doing this?

My lady, your breakfast is served.

Just mine? Let's eat together.

I'll have the leftovers.

Don't be ridiculous.

It looks delicious.

Don't tell me you made this yourself.

Why are you surprised?
It was a piece of cake.

Is it too mild? You haven't been
drinking it strong lately.

It's perfect.

-There's egg and pollack roe.
-Yes.

It's so good.

Can I have the other one?

Sure.

I know I made this, but it's tasty.

This is a new recipe.

It's my own special recipe.

You're the best.
You're good at everything.

But it's not even my birthday.

You cut down on work.

Take it as a token
of my love and gratitude.

Thank you for your appreciation.

Mr. Shin Yu-sin said he knew you.

-Is he in the meeting room?
-Yes.

-Bring him in.
-Okay.

We need to know how much wealth he has
and the environment Ji-a will be in.

But the most crucial part
is what she wants.

I've heard about Ji-a often.
How's your relationship?

We were very close prior to the divorce.

Right. We went skiing together recently.

She and my girlfriend
don't have any issues.

They even shared a bedroom.

They get along well.

That's favorable.

Did Ms. Sa refuse
to relinquish custody of Ji-a?

Yes.

First, I think you should have
a heart-to-heart talk with one another.

Personally, I'd like
to dissuade you from filing a lawsuit.

Not only do the two parties
get hurt during the process,

but their children get hurt the most.

As her father,

I won't allow a stranger to raise her.

I understand.

But I'm sure
her mother feels the same way.

I won't get married.

Plus, I'm well-off and can provide
a good environment for her.

Her grandma will be there too.

You should do your best
to persuade Ms. Sa.

Filing a lawsuit
should be your very last resort.

I didn't know this before,
but she's headstrong.

And that's why I had no choice
but to sign the divorce papers.

That's not why you got divorced.

Right. I made a mistake.

But we're in the same boat.

Hye-ryung and I got back together.

Let's look into Ji-a's stepdad and find
any reasons for disqualification.

After that, we can decide
whether to talk it out or file a lawsuit.

He must definitely be lacking in some way.

That's why she hasn't told me about him.

I'm sorry. I thought I had turned it off.

Did Hye-ryung tell you anything?

No. After the producer changed,
they don't seem to meet that often.

She's cut down on work a lot

and doesn't go out often.

-She's taking care of the baby.
-Right.

Could you ask her about it?

Basement first floor.

Hello, I'm Seo Dong-ma, Pi-young's fiancé.

I'd like to talk.

Hello?

-Hello.
-Is this Dr. Shin Yu-sin?

Yes.

I'm Seo Dong-ma. It's nice to meet you.

Do you have time later today?
We should talk in person.

Let's meet at 7 p.m.

You can pick the spot.

Class Hotel.
I'll text you once I reserve a table.

Sure.

I can't marry you.

Get lost!

Is his mouth all better now?

I hope so.

Why did they cheat in the first place
if they loved their kids that much?

They should've devoted themselves.

Exactly.

Where are the sofas?

On the third floor.

Can we speak to Park Hyang-gi,
the new intern?

She's tending to her customers.
She's in the sofa corner.

She's incredible.

You must be so proud of her.

You must feel the same way about Ji-a.

I looked up "possession",

and apparently,
people who are possessed lose weight.

No wonder she doesn't gain any
despite her big appetite.

You should look into it.

Should I tell her to see a shaman
since we think she's possessed?

We can invite the shaman over.

Tell her we'll pay her handsomely.

I'd be relieved if we're wrong,

but what if we're right?

Should we perform an exorcism?

She needs to go there herself for that.

Plus, what if she returns to her own self
and refuses to live with Sa-hyeon?

Let's give it some time.

Getting possessed isn't that easy.

Based on my research, it could cause
bigger issues in the future.

Recommend a bed frame for us.

I would pick this one.

It's easy to manage
and has a modern design.

It'll go along well with your furniture.

I'll get the same one then.
You don't mind, right?

Having a different bed frame
in every room looks messier.

What about the mattress?

INTRODUCING THE HOSPITAL DIRECTOR

DIRECTOR SHIN YU-SIN

-Did you make a reservation.
-Under "Shin Yu-sin".

He's waiting inside.

Let me take your coat.

My name is Seo Dong-ma.

SEO DONG-MA

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

He's young for an executive director.
Does his father own the company?

Could he be a divorcé?

Even still.

Beverages are on the back.

This is my first time here.
Please pick what to order.

Should I order instead?

Will a simple dish suffice?

-How about wine?
-Malt whiskey, please.

Single malt whiskey?

Over here.

How did they meet?

If I may ask, how old are you?

-I turned 36.
-In Korean age?

I'm 37 in Korean age.

Have you been married before?

No, I haven't.

WHAT… IS HE INSANE?
HE COULD HAVE FOUND SOMEONE BETTER.

Doesn't SF Group
own Min General Hospital too?

Correct.

Let's cut to the chase.

I heard you wanted custody of Ji-a.

-Yes.
-Why?

What do you mean? She's my daughter too.

It's best for a child to live
with both of her parents.

But if not, isn't living with her mom
better for her emotional stability?

Especially for girls.

-Pi-young…
-"Pi-young"?

…isn't lacking as a mother.

Rather, she's just perfect.

I disagree. A perfect mom wouldn't remarry
and drag her kid with her.

What's wrong with remarriage?

I believe your late father
remarried as well.

Did you look into me?

Pi-young told me.

I'm a neuropsychiatrist.

-What did you major in?
-Management.

This is your first marriage and you have
no experience in raising a child.

You're not her real dad
and not much older than her either.

None of this is right.

Don't you think 23 years is a big gap?

Many become parents at 20.

What are you worried about?

Watch me, and you'll realize
that I am qualified to be a dad.

That won't happen.
I will raise my own daughter.

She's Pi-young's too.

Have you changed her diapers?

Have you fed her or stayed up all night
tending to her when she was ill?

Being a parent is not easy.

I'm well aware that it's not,
and I'm prepared for it.

Please don't cut me off.
We have more than enough time to talk.

You're prepared?

I'm sure it wasn't voluntary.
You had no choice.

Please don't jump to conclusions.

I never force myself to do anything.
I need to be up for it.

Even kids only eat when they want to.

Look at him. Not only does he look sly,
but he talks that way too.

I've accepted her as my daughter.

It was natural.

She's already grown on me. I adore her.

-Please.
-You go ahead.

She's fallen head over heels
for a little boy.

Both Pi-young and I
stand firm in our decision.

Ji-a will live with us.

I'm her biological father.
I have the right to raise her.

Who do you think the court will choose?

-Her mom.
-Who's marrying a young man?

Thirty-seven isn't young.

Have you ever given birth to a child?

Have you?

It's a figure of speech.

Are you trying to nitpick
and argue with me?

What an impudent as*h*le.

Only women can give birth.

That's why a father's love
cannot be equal.

Like I said,
I am ready to devote myself to Ji-a.

But I have no say
if she wants to live with you.

We should hear what she wants first.

We shouldn't make the decision ourselves.

I'll only have one drink
since I'm still mourning.

My mother suddenly passed away last month.

How old was she?

Exactly 60.

You must be distraught.

And the wedding?

It'll be after the 49-day rite.

It's because of the funeral.

Whose funeral?

The chairman's wife.

It's him.

-Is Engineer Seo Ban your brother?
-Yes.

Did he introduce you to Pi-young?
Or did Ms. Lee?

No.

-Then how did you two meet?
-It happened naturally.

This b*stard.

-Is your father okay with it?
-Yes.

I just don't get it. Si-eun…

I'm used to calling her that.

Both daughters-in-law are divorced.
I believe your brother is a bachelor too.

I don't get how your father was okay
with that. They're not that young.

And Pi-young is older than you.

My parents trust me

and that's why I respect them.

Though my mom has passed away.

You do know Ms. Lee and Pi-young
are close, right?

They'll make our house livelier.

The kids will love it too.

It's no problem.

INCOMING CALL
MS. LEE SI-EUN

Hey.

Has he called yet?

Not yet.

I'll be straightforward.
Who had feelings first?

I did.

Why?

It's natural for men
to be attracted to young, pretty women.

Like they say, we all have
our own image of a perfect woman.

And she's perfect for me.

Young women are all the same.

You get tired of them acting like a baby.

At least I did.

I don't understand you either.

As a woman and an individual,

Pi-young is an admirable
and charming person.

I wonder why you fell for someone else.

That's a rhetorical question, right?

What's with them?
Are they helplessly in love or something?

-It's getting late.
-Are you honest?

Yes.

Men especially want their own kids,
not someone else's.

She said she'll give birth again.

Did she say that?

We talked about it.

I told her it was possible
to give birth past 40.

But I'm already happy
and grateful for having Ji-a.

I've learned that you could form a bond
with someone after a short time.

That's not love.

Nowadays, not having biological parents
isn't that big of a deal.

Some parents and their kids
even harm each other.

I don't believe love can only
be formed through experience.

I'm going to be a good
and respectable dad.

Anything is possible if you work hard.

No one knows what'll happen

in the future.

I know that you've done some things
that you aren't proud of.

And you, Executive Director Seo?
That's your name, right?

Yes.

Have you lived an honest life?

There are things I regret and lack.

But I've never disappointed Ji-a.

And I don't ever plan to either.

Let's meet again
after hearing what she wants.

Where's your car?

Is that it?

Goodbye. Next time, I'll reserve a place.

Are you going home, sir?

No.

Did he burp?

Yes.

-Want anything?
-I brushed my teeth.

Fine, I won't eat either.

What do you crave? Beer?

I would die for some ramyeon.

You can have it every now and then.

Is Ms. Sa getting married?

Who told you?

Dr. Shin. Who is she marrying?

Prince Charming.

Come on. Don't joke around.

I'm not.

He's the second son of SF Electronics.

The eldest son is Engineer Seo Ban.

You mean…

Let's go there.

SSANGDAE
SALTED BARBECUE

Park somewhere nearby.

No way.
Reality can be more dramatic at times.

Look at us.

I guess it's game over.

-What game?
-What?

I'll tell you later.

I don't want soggy noodles.

They're too hard right now.

I like them that way.

There must have been a traffic jam.

Yes. It was especially awful today.

You should have told Mr. Choi
to take these upstairs.

I haven't seen Jun-jae in ages.
Is she doing well?

Of course.

Does she not want to see Jeong-bin?

-She saw his photos.
-What did she say?

She said he was handsome

and looked like he could become a general.

Your dad will understand
once you tell him how you feel.

Is Danchu housebroken?

It still makes mistakes.

It's only a puppy.

Have you ever had a dog before?

-Yes.
-Mainly large breeds.

I heard you wanted to give Danchu to me.

So that I'd be comforted.

Thank you. That almost made me cry.

You should go.
Your father will be waiting.

-He was crying when I went home yesterday.
-Oh, dear.

I had thought he was staying strong.

Move.

Are you sleeping here?

Mother.

Don't call me.

-Why?
-I'm scared.

What are you scared of?

Mother?

Mother.

Please don't hit me!

Thank you.

-What?
-Yu-sin, come quick.

Something's wrong with Mother.

Again?

This time, it's real. Hurry.

What's that puppy?

It's Ji-a's. Danchu.

And?

I brought it here in advance
to lighten the mood.

-"Danchu"?
-Yes.

What an adorable dog.

Did Ji-a agree to it?
You got her permission, right?

She didn't tell me the reason.

She just kept begging me not to hit her.

I told you something was off.

Shouldn't she be admitted?

We'll see.

She's getting worse.

She needs to be treated soon.

MOTHER

-Hello?
-I'm at the door.

Open it.

You're here?

I didn't want
to ring the doorbell this early.

Did something happen at home?

Don't send Ji-a to the academy today.
I had a nightmare.

What kind?

Some man whose face
I couldn't see kidnapped her.

Is she asleep?

I tossed and turned.
I barely had any sleep after that.

Do you want some hot milk?

No, sit down.

Did you fight with Yu-sin?

-Why do you ask?
-I was sleeping in the living room.

Then he came and started bad-mouthing you.

What did he say?

Did he drink?

Yes. He was drunk.

Anyway, be careful today.
And don't let Ji-a leave the house.

You know my dreams come true at times.

So he cursed about me?

What about A Mi? Did she not say anything?

No.

Yu-sin, Mother isn't home.

Her phone's off.

Maybe she's at Ji-a's.

Call the maintenance office.
Maybe she's taking a walk.

INCOMING CALL
A MI

-Hello?
-Pi-young, is Mother there?

Yes, she is.

When did she get there?

-About an hour ago.
-What did she say?

Don't ask. I'm not in the mood.

We'll go there. Don't let her leave.

Shouldn't we call the hospital?

And will you go in your pajamas?

Good dog.

Is that tasty?

INCOMING CALL
DAD

Yes?

Call Pi-young and ask
if she's willing to cook me breakfast.

Right now? You're going there?

-Yes.
-That'd be rude. But why?

Just ask her.

Delicious rice will begin cooking.

INCOMING CALL
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SEO

-Hello?
-Are you up?

-Yes.
-My father asked

if you'd be willing
to cook him breakfast there.

Goodness. Here?

Yes. I told him it'd be rude of him.

I wonder why he wants to go.

I'll have breakfast ready.
Tell him to come.

-You too, right?
-Of course.

-Okay.
-Bye.

Mother.

-Mother.
-Yes?

May I come in?

Yes. I'm brushing my teeth.

Mother, I need your help.

My future father-in-law is coming.

"Future father-in-law"?

He's having breakfast here.
Please wake Ji-a up too.

-Come visit me at the hospital.
-Are you not well?

Maybe I'm terminally ill.

-My goodness!
-Who is it from?

Ms. Nam Ga-bin.

-What do you mean she's flirty?
-Are you on speakerphone?

-That's right.
-What do you mean?

-I'm so nervous for you.
-I'm just an old bride.

They must be insane.
Are they in their right minds?

I sent a car just now.
Just bring your pajamas and come.

Are we moving in before Mom?

Now they're barging into this house
to take everything.

Jeong-bin, what should we do
with your mom?

Wait. Are you saying we're the same?
That's not true at all.

You want me to die from eating this.

-Does that mean I'm going to die too?
-That's how I k*lled my husband.

Please welcome the groom and the bride.
