Hey, what's the occasion
this early in the morning?

I was taken aback by the news article.

Is Ju Won okay?

A news article? What about Ju Won?

Yoon Seo, I think I should
go back to Seoul right away.

Yes, I'll call you later.

The husband of AL Group's
chairwoman Kim Seon Ju,

CEO Seo Dong Jin of AL Global,

has shocked people after it was
revealed that he has been living...

with a mistress in New
York for the past two years.

CEO Seo has disclosed that
his marriage to Chairwoman Kim...

was already broken before
he arrived in New York.

He claims the discord began
after he lost in the general election...

and that they have been
married in appearance only,

leaving nothing but distrust between them.

People are expecting a
divorce suit of the century...

Yes, I understand.
Please review it once more.

Yes, sir.

What happened?

Father has asked for a divorce,

and I think Mother will
prepare for the lawsuit.

Have you known about it?

Well, I expected as much,

but I didn't know he would
go public with it like this.

As Father wanted,

the public opinion is going
in a bad direction for Mother.

What about Mother?

Where is she now?

You must've been taken aback
as I asked to see you amid all this.

I'll get straight to the point.

Your marriage with Ju Won...

I'll allow it.

But under one condition.

You should take charge of
our scholarship foundation.

The scholarship foundation?

With rumours of arranged
marriages and power trips,

the atmosphere on our side
isn't too great at the moment.

We need a way to restore our image again.

So, let's open up about
your entire background...

and proceed with your marriage.

Live as...

a proper Cinderella.

[Cinderella at 2AM]

[Makirae, Craft Makgeolli]

The scholarship foundation?

Gosh, no way.

Then will you become someone high up,

like a chairwoman or a director?

Figures. It would be weird for
the youngest daughter-in-law...

of AL Group to work at a different company.

And even if you do, everyone
will find you uncomfortable.

It is pretty unrealistic.

But in order for me to take charge
of the scholarship foundation,

I have to open up about
my entire family history.

What? Why would you open
up about your family history?

Well, the atmosphere at the
company isn't great these days.

What? Because of the
conglomerate family power trip issues?

Hey, but that's because
that guy had an affair...

and was saying he had it hard...

in that family to justify his affair.

Still, people seemed to buy it.

So, I think she believes
that if Ju Won marries me,

someone who grew up...

in a worse-than-average household,

the company image will change.

She must be crazy.

Are you all right?

Honestly, I'm fine now...

since my family history isn't my fault.

But I feel bad about Ji Seok.

You're right. Ji Seok won't feel
good if he reads articles like that.

Hey, but your personal details
will go public someday anyhow.

And it's very likely
that people talk about...

how you've gone up in
class status and whatnot.

But if they just release an
article from your perspective,

wouldn't that be better to
spin the story how you want to?

That way, later on...

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, hey, Ji Seok.

I told him to stop by to give
him some cooking utensils.

Ji Seok, come in. You
haven't eaten, have you?

- Hey, Ji Seok.
- Ji Seok.

Hey, Ji Seok!

- Oh, my!
- Hey, I'll be going now.

Hey...

[Makirae, Craft Makgeolli]

Ji Seok!

["AL Group's CEO Seo Dong Jin
Living With Mistress in New York"]

[Director Seo Ju Won]

[1 Unread message]

This is Ha Ji Seok.

I can meet you if I go to AL CARD, right?

[Yoon Seo]

You're here. What's going on?

I'm the one who wants to
ask. What's going on right now?

Is this why you started
seeing my sister again?

To sell our past and use it?

Does my sister's painful past
only look like an opportunity to you?

What are you saying...

I heard you were trying to cover up
the bad press you've been getting...

about your family's power
trip with my sister's story.

To make you guys look good...

as a conglomerate family
that took in a poor girl!

What?

Did you not know that the
chairwoman told my sister to do that?

Isn't that also a problem?

I was hoping you weren't here...

Go home for now, okay?
I'll explain everything later.

Forget it. There's nothing to explain.

I've already heard everything.
And I can never accept it.

Why would you get married
while being treated like this?

You're someone I feel the most proud of.

- Come on. Let's talk at home.
- Let go of me!

- Quickly!
- Isn't that Ju Won?

- Let go of me.
- Quickly.

Hey, Seo Ju Won.

What's going on?

Really?

Mother really made you that kind of offer?

That was very rude of her.

I'll apologize on her behalf.

Where are you going?

You know.

Why are you stopping me?
Will you tell me to sit back again?

Why do you keep making me look like a fool?

I'm not making you look like a fool.

I'm saying we shouldn't make
this go the worst way possible.

I'm not the one making
things the worst. It's Mother.

Don't you know?

There's no need to think emotionally.

I understand the chairwoman.

Understand what? Why do
you always understand her?

She seemed precarious.

She looked like someone
standing on the edge of a cliff.

Even when she was being attacked
after the articles were released,

she came to see me first.

That's how desperate she was.

I get that you're angry.

You can get angry anytime.

But...

now is the only time you can console her.

The chairwoman is on
the edge of a cliff already.

I hope you don't push her.

I just wish you'd hug her now.

That's what family is about.

[Did something happen with the chairwoman?]

[- What's going on?
- [What's it like over there?]

My goodness, seriously.

Why are they asking me
about the chairwoman?

It's not like I'm Director Seo's secretary.

If it had been back in the day,

I would've thought of this as
the chairwoman's business.

But now, I think of it as something
happening to the parent...

of someone I know. I feel kind of bad.

I know, right?

If you think about the whole
country knowing about...

your parents' divorce
because of your dad's affair...

Gosh! Seriously.

By the way, this is a secret,

but after I was promoted to manager,

I bought some of our company's stocks.

I thought my great performance
might make the company better.

But our company's stock prices
won't drop because of this, right?

Gosh, they can't drop.

I was saying...

I didn't want my tie clip to drop.

I bought a cheap one to
imitate you, Director Seo...

What was that? Did something happen again?

I think something just happened to me.

You don't think he heard
about the stock prices, do you?

What if I get demoted right
after becoming a manager?

What do you want to tell me in private?

If you're going to take
Mother's side, don't.

Hey, I can't defend her for that.

But...

I think what Yoon Seo said was right.

How about you put
aside your anger for now...

and be a family member for her?

Well, Mother has never really
been a motherly person to us,

but we've never been
nice to her as sons either.

Actually,

Mi Jin once invited Mother to
my house after you left home.

She said Mother seemed lonely.

Both Mi Jin...

and Yoon Seo could see Mother's weakness.

But only us, her sons, couldn't see it.

[Counterclaim]

Mother.

Oh, what brings you
here together at this hour?

If you're here because you're
worried about your inheritance,

I'll make sure he can't
touch what's meant for you.

Don't worry.

Let's go and have fun, Mother.

- "Have fun?"
- Yes.

Let's take time off and have a cheat day.

"A cheat day?"

You little punk. How
could you say such a thing?

- That word is banned.
- Oh, right.

Mother.

Let's not have a cheat day.
Let's go and lift our moods.

Forget it.

I have so much to take care
of. I don't have time for that.

So, just take care of those things later.

Let's cool our heads first.

- Hey, grab her coat.
- Okay.

- Mother.
- Oh, my. Hey!

- Gosh, hey. What...
- Hang on. Help me.

- Boys.
- Here we go.

- Hey, I'll get her.
- I'll get her legs.

Gosh, you're as light as a feather.

Hey, what are you doing?

- Gosh.
- Here we go.

- What's wrong with you?
- Seriously, how are you so light?

This is awkward.

Right? You've always sat in the backseat.

That's not what I mean.

Taking a cheat day...

I mean...

Going out to lift our moods.

It feels strange.

Right.

I'm sure we're the only family that
has never had an outing together.

But you know,

I haven't been able to do
this because I was busy.

I've always cared and worried
about you more than anyone.

Hey, Seo Ju Won.

Don't sit there like the boss
and take out the lunch box.

- A lunch box?
- Yes.

You want to eat in the car?

Yes, in case you were
hungry on the way there,

I asked Ms. Park to
prepare something simple.

So, we especially prepared a
shrimp sandwich which you like.

- Shrimp?
- Sounds good, right?

I don't eat shrimp these days
because of my high cholesterol.

Didn't you know?

Then, how about some tomato
juice which is good for your skin?

- Hey, tomato juice.
- Okay.

Tomato? I don't like tomatoes.

I don't like how bland it tastes.

Didn't you know?

Gosh, Mother.

You can't be such a
picky eater at your age.

You should eat a balanced
diet to grow big and...

Oh, I guess you're done growing. Right.

Then, let's eat something
good when we arrive.

We'll go to the sea with a great view...

- The sea?
- Yes.

Ever since I nearly fell off a yacht,

I have had a traumatic memory of the sea.

Didn't you know?

Well...

We can take our time to learn about you.

Let's make today about that, Mother.

Then, let's pass on going to the sea.

Which mountain is close by?

- Si Won, - What?

Shall we listen to the
radio on our way there?

Hey, that sounds good.

Mother, you like listening
to the news, right?

[Radio]

This time, we'll hear
about this week's hot topics.

It's being called the
divorce suit of the century.

Everyone has been talking about
the divorce of the AL Group couple.

What do you think about this?

- What?
- What?

What's this?

Why is this slowing down?

Hey, you're out of fuel.

What?

What?

But...

What on earth...

Yes, I understand.

Secretary Kim is coming now.

We should wait for whoever gets here first,

the insurance company or Secretary Kim.

Hey, how could you not even
know that the car was out of fuel?

Well, it's not like I
refuel the car myself.

I've never cared about
that stuff my whole life.

By the way, I think we should
move the car to that side.

We could get that far, couldn't we?

Well, if you and Mother give it a push.

What? You want me to push the car?

Wouldn't it be hard for
Ju Won to do it alone?

- What will you be doing?
- I should steer the car.

Of course, it is a bit awkward
for you to push the car,

but you don't have a driver's license.

You said you couldn't drive yourself
after the car accident trauma...

when you were seven years old.

Oh, my.

How could you remember such things so well?

Don't get me wrong.

Hey, push harder!

Mother, please try harder.

That fool.

Push to the same rhythm. One, two!

One, two!

Just a bit more!

A bit more!

Okay!

Okay, Mother, I think we're good.

Oh, my back.

Why are you laughing?

I just can't believe this sight right now.

Should I take a photo of you?

- What? No, don't take it.
- Wait.

- Hey, you!
- No, let's take one together, Mom!

- In 1, 2, 3!
- In 1, 2, 3.

- Gosh, why are you doing this?
- In 1, 2, 3.

- Don't do this.
- Hey, you should take one too.

- Hey, don't do that. Boys, don't.
- Come on.

- No, don't do it.
- In 1, 2, 3.

- Gosh, boys.
- All right.

Mother, you should have some of this.

It may not be the Jamaica
Blue Mountain that you like,

but I'm sure it's nice and sweet.

Don't you know that I'm
managing my blood sugar levels?

Of course you don't.

Let me know if I can help
throughout the lawsuit.

I'll help in any way I can.

The lawyer will take care of everything.

Having lawyers talk for you...

and having your own family
talk for you will be very different.

I'm on your side too, Mother.

I want you to be happy.

Thank you.

I didn't get to eat anything.

Oh, Mother. They were
selling toast over there too.

Should I buy some of that, at least?

Oh, no. Forget about the toast.

I don't really like street food, you know.

You say that, but you finished your coffee.

I'll just go and buy some.
Wait a little while. Here.

Whose idea was it?

What?

To have a cheat day... I mean...

To come out to lift our moods.

I can tell it wasn't either of
you. Who gave you this advice?

Mi Jin?

Yoon Seo.

I met with her yesterday.

I said I'd allow your marriage...

but only if she took charge
of our scholarship foundation.

I thought if we used her story of
having overcome her poor background,

it might help our company's image.

Did you know about it?

I happened to hear about it.

Yoon Seo told me...

that I could get angry anytime,

but I could only console you now.

And that family is supposed to do that.

It may sound like an excuse,

but I thought someone who
will become family anyway...

should be where she is needed.

Considering the profits
of the company first...

was such an obvious thing for me.

But she said this to me.

And even if...

I take charge of the
scholarship foundation,

please don't let Ju Won know...

about divulging my family background.

Even if the articles are published,

I think it might be best
that he doesn't know...

where the information came from.

Why?

Ju Won will worry.

And feel sorry.

I only thought about
the company, but she...

only thought about you.

So, I was just feeling embarrassed...

about whether I shouldn't
have made that offer.

A happy family...

It was something I never had,

so I wasn't able to give
that to you boys either.

But I think she could give that to you.

Please tell her that we won't
reveal her family background,

and you should...

get married as soon as you can.

Well, that way,

my issue will blow over a bit.

I can hope for that much, right?

Mother, here.

- Oh, gosh!
- Goodness!

My goodness, you.

Have one.

Thank you.

- Cheers.
- But...

[2 months later]

Did you sleep well?

Seriously.

What do you think?

So, why not just go home
right after the meeting?

Why drink so much?

You have a room in this
house too. Sleep there.

Hey, once you get married,

you won't be able to
sleep next to me like this.

I barely managed to persuade
Mi Jin to let me stay out...

after telling her that I wouldn't
be able to have this time with you...

once you got married.

So, why did you persuade her on that?

Gosh, I'm cold. Give me the blanket.

- What's wrong?
- Get out.

- Come on.
- Seriously, get out.

- Get out.
- I'll catch a cold.

[AL Scholarship Foundation]

Hello.

[AL Scholarship Foundation]

- Hello.
- Hello.

[AL Scholarship Foundation]

[Ha Yoon Seo]

Good morning.

- You're here.
- Hello.

[Teen Support Division]

Do I send this via fax?

Oh, yes.

By the way, why did Yoon Seo
go to the Teen Support Division?

She was interested in
that field in the first place.

No, what I mean is...

Mother offered the position of
General Administration Director.

Why did she take on a smaller division?

I wanted to figure out each
part of the work in order.

Didn't you begin as a new
recruit for the same reason?

Well, that's true,

but you actually want to work at
the Scholarship Foundation, right?

Of course.

Actually, after I saw
Artist Lee Sung Min...

supporting young artists,

I thought about donating my
talent to a social enterprise.

When I first left home with Ji Seok,

I couldn't get any support...

because we technically
had parents on paper.

It was pretty hard, to be honest.

So,

you should understand
my perspective too, okay?

What's there to understand or not?

Things were resolved in the end.

I was sorry about last time.

I suddenly became so mad to think
my sister wasn't being respected.

Ji Seok.

Respect from others
isn't all that important.

I just have to know my own value.

Gosh, Yoon Seo is amazing.

Then, you guys must be really busy.

Are your wedding preparations going well?

Of course. As you saw
from the photos in my room,

we already took our wedding photos.

I chose the venue...

and the champagne we'll
be having at the reception too.

I already picked out
the bouquet design too.

Wait. What about Yoon Seo?

She's busy.

Still, she said she'd come to see
the wedding invitations for sure.

Well, it is pretty unique.

"Pretty unique?"

Gosh, my dear junior, you respected
me so much when we were drinking.

Where did all that respect go?

I don't know about that,

but I am grateful.

You must be busy with
your upcoming exhibition.

I am,

but I wanted to be the one to
draw your wedding invitation.

I went out of my way for this.

Oh, Yoon Seo seemed really busy these days.

Can she come today?

Come on. Of course she should come.

It's the first time we see
our wedding invitation.

Right.

Hey, are you on your way?

Hey, I'm sorry. I don't
think I can make it.

Well, I'm on my way
back from a meeting now,

and I was going to drop
off the assistant manager...

and go straight there.

But we were asked to
send over the schedule for...

the scholarship certificate
ceremony right away.

Yes.

Sorry, I think I'll have to
see the invitation in a photo.

I'm getting a call. Bye.

Yoon Seo. Ha Yoon Seo.

Just talk to me.

Although, it is a bit awkward for
us to talk about wedding invitations.

Yes, well...

However, this was only the beginning.

Why did your meeting get pushed?

Yoon Seo. Ha Yoon...

Should we postpone until tomorrow?

We can't push it back any further.

Then, pick things out with me.

I had to pick the wedding
invitations with Lee Sung Min...

and our furniture with Mi Jin.

And even...

It will be a little uncomfortable
to live above a newlywed couple.

But why can't Yoon Seo come?

Well...

She's going to headquarters...

to get additional funding.

I see.

I had to see our newlywed home...

with Ji Seok.

Ju Won, let's go.

- Oh, gosh.
- Hey.

Ji Seok, are you okay?

Shouldn't you go to the hospital?

No, it's just a light sprain.

Can you hold me up a little more?

Gosh, this place is really nice, though.

The bathtub is big, so it
would be nice for washing up.

- Right?
- Yes.

It's perfect for a newlywed home.

This house is meant to
be the newlywed home...

of AL Group's youngest son, right?

Yes.

Let's not fight in the future
and live happily together, okay?

Okay.

There were rumours that the
chairwoman opposed this marriage.

Was that perhaps...

Also, in order to quell
an unexpected scandal,

the group had to step up.

But what was even harder than that was...

I missed Yoon Seo.

Is she very busy?

I'm not such a petty guy who
gets mad over these things.

Right.

You can't come today either?

No, I'm sorry.

I think we'll have to fix the
list of scholarship recipients.

Do you have to finish that by today?

We said we'd go see Uncle Jae
Ha and Yi Rae since it's been a while.

And we were going to see if Ji
Seok is doing well working there.

Sorry. I'll reschedule
a day to visit Yi Rae's.

I'll call you later when I'm done.

[Director Seo Ju Won]

[Seo Si Won, Lee Mi Jin's


What if my husband cries his eyes out...

from being so moved
after receiving this gift?

[Seo Si Won, Lee Mi Jin's


Did I go overboard with making it myself?

Yes?

Ms. Lee, Vice Chairman
Seo Si Won sent this.

Oh, my. How pretty.

Oh, your necklace.

Gosh, how pretty. It looks great on you.

When did you buy it?

Don't you know?

I feel a chill.

I think I must know about this necklace.

Excuse me. Here is the cake you ordered.

Oh, we didn't order a cake.

You did.

Pardon?

The person who made
the reservation ordered it.

"Happy Wedding Day?"

- Wife...
- Tell Secretary Kim...

- that I enjoyed the cake.
- Let me explain...

And that I appreciate the gift too.

Well, so I...

You're finished, right? Let's get going.

Wife. Mi Jin!

Wife.

Come on. Mi Jin.

Let's go home separately.

Separately?

Why?

I thought it was your idea...

to send me a present
and eat together today.

I thought you wanted to
celebrate our wedding anniversary.

I'm sorry.

Since we haven't celebrate
our anniversary before...

I know that, but now...

But now, I like you.

So, I thought things
would be different this time.

I'll be going first.

Hey, Mi Jin...

Gosh, darn it.

[Please find the list of
teenage applicants of 2024...]

[Send]

[Seo Ju Won]

Hello?

This isn't who you think it is.

This is Uncle Jae Ha.

Why are you answering the phone?

Is Ju Won there?

I said we should come some other time.

Why are you here?

Well, Father-in-law
said he cooked for us...

I mean, Uncle Jae Ha cooked chicken
soup that's not even on the menu.

He and Ji Seok boiled it for three hours.

How could I not come?

I'm sorry. But you know how
things are for me these days.

I know. Your work is
more important than me.

You know I'm busy with an
important project coming up.

I know.

The meticulous Ha Yoon Seo has
to mind every detail from 1 to 10.

What's with your manner of speech?

What's with your glare?

- Are you picking a fight?
- I've held it in for a long time.

What did you hold in?

This is way too much.

You work so hard,

but how could you be so
haphazard about our wedding plans?

What? "Haphazard?"

Yes, haphazard.

I chose the venue,

the champagne we'll drink at the reception,

and even the bouquet design.

This will be a simple
wedding with just family,

so all the venues are pretty much the same.

And you've had more champagne
than I have, so I left it to you.

And bouquets all seem similar to me.

What do you want me to do?

"What do you want me to do?"

Gosh, seriously.

I really wasn't going to say this,

but I chose the wedding
invitations with Lee Sung Min.

I chose the furniture with Mi Jin.

The house? I looked at it with Ji Seok.

I saw the invitation in the photos
and the furniture in the catalogue.

And we said we'd go see
the house again next week.

What's the problem?

No, this is a huge problem.

You have to check with your own
eyes and feel it with your hands to know.

I was so upset and lonely yesterday...

that I even bought a plant on my way home.

What does that have to do with a plant?

What?

Are you the logical type?

Excuse me, guys.

The owner here says not to
fight at someone else's business...

and to leave.

We're doing business here.

Gosh.

He's being so harsh.

I'm worried I might disgrace
him if I don't do a good job.

I'm working so hard with gritted teeth.

[The sofa you ordered will be
delivered tomorrow afternoon.]

I didn't even thank Mi Jin for
helping us choose our furniture.

[Senior Managing Director Lee Mi Jin]

Is it better to call or text?

Gosh. It's late anyway.
Let's do it tomorrow.

Hello? Yoon Seo?

Hello? Yoon Seo?

What?

Yoon Seo.

[Senior Managing Director Lee Mi Jin]

What do I do?

Hello? Yoon Seo?

Hello.

Yes, is something wrong?

Oh, well, I...

I was supposed to go look at furniture,

but I wasn't able to make
it. I wanted to say sorry.

Oh, you don't have to apologize to me.

It took a lot of effort to pick
them out, so use them well.

It's my wedding gift.

Don't say that. It's way too much.

Then buy me a drink later.

A drink?

Yes. I want to get to know you.

I was going to call to
ask you out to dinner,

but you seemed so
busy. Are you still at work?

No. I left work, and I'm on my way home.

Then can we meet for a drink now?

Right now?

Yes. I seriously need one right now.

Where are you? Let's meet.

I looked forward to
getting a drink with you,

and that day is today.

It is.

Hello, Ms. Lee.

Is it okay that I didn't make a
reservation? Is the room free?

Well, no.

Some guests booked the room long ago.

I'll see what I can do.

I'm sorry, Yoon Seo. I
should've called ahead.

No, it's okay. I don't mind where we drink.

I'm worried you might feel uncomfortable.

Can I take you to a place I often go?

Somewhere you often go?

Yes.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

You'll have your usual
soju and beer, right?

Yes.

- Enjoy yourselves.
- Thanks.

Call if you need anything.

- Okay.
- Good.

This place has the aura
of a famous restaurant.

The food really is good too.

Gosh.

- Shall we?
- Sure.

That was stupid of me.

I forgot our wedding anniversary.

You darn lunatic.

Hello, darling husband.

You know our wedding
anniversary is coming up, right?

It feels a bit different this time.

Is it because it's the first
one since I got to like you?

So I prepared a little something.

Ta-da.

It's a present.

We went out for makgeolli once.

I think of that time often, so
I'm making makgeolli cups.

Let's have another drink.

Congratulations on marrying me, darling.

You're really blessed.

I'll show you how this works.

I'm back.

Hi.

You're still up?

The second hearing's next week.

I had a lot on my mind, so I
was having a glass of wine.

What about you? Are wedding
preparations going well?

Yes, I guess?

I knew Yoon Seo would
do a thoroughly good job,

but she's doing better than expected.

She visited every agency
and organization for a meeting...

to select people who she believes
are eligible for a scholarship.

Many children are neglected by people...

who, on paper, are their
parents who are alive and well,

so she's selecting candidates from scratch.

[Yoon Seo]

[Seo Si Won, Lee Mi Jin's


[Seo Si Won, Lee Mi Jin's


You lunatic.

You don't deserve to be loved.

[Mi Jin]

[Call history: Yoon Seo]

She'll be so angry.

Darn it.

Is she out there somewhere crying?

Cheers.

This is no joke.

You're a heavy drinker, Ms. Lee.

Why do you keep calling me "Ms. Lee?"

Shouldn't we get our titles straight?

Oh, then...

"Sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law?"

Yes, I'm your sister-in-law now.

And you are mine.

Yes, sister-in-law.

Did you have a bad day today?

- Why?
- Earlier,

you said you seriously needed a drink.

Si Won and I fought.

I fought with Ju Won too.

- You did? Why?
- Yes.

He said I didn't care much
about the wedding preparations.

I'm having the worst time ever
getting used to an unfamiliar job.

Can't he put in a little more effort?

Right. If you're working hard,

you won't have attention
to spare on the wedding.

I didn't think Ju Won was like that.

He's petty.

Petty isn't the word
I'd use to describe him.

Why did you and Si Won fight?

Today's our wedding
anniversary, and he forgot about it.

I was so pleased to get a gift,

but his secretary had picked it out.

That's not nice. He
should've gotten a gift himself.

That's horrible.

It's not exactly horrible but...

To be honest, isn't Mother
the real horrible one?

I can finally say this,

but how could she give you money...

and ask you to leave her son?

You're capable, great at your job,
and have outstanding character.

You make a mean soju and beer mixer too.

Exactly.

We should barge in and complain.

Complain?

Yes.

Whose fault is it that we're upset today?

We're upset because of Mother's two sons.

We must go over there
and figure out who's at fault.

Yes.

[Husband]

My gosh.

Hey, husband.

Me? I'm out drinking with Yoon Seo.

No, don't bother coming over.

We're going to Mother's
to get a few things straight.

What?

Darling wife. You'll go to
Mother to get what things straight?

Honey. Mi Jin?

This is bad.

Hang on.

This is really bad.

Ju Won, Code Red.

Yoon Seo and Mi Jin are
going to Mother's to complain.

Wait outside and stop them...

What? You're not at home?

I'm on my way to Yoon Seo's.

Okay. I'll go home now.

Mr. Kim. I have a sister-in-law now.

Let's drink more mixers.

Go! Let's go!

Can you drive a little faster?

Drive on! Faster!

I think we're going too fast already.

My gosh. You're the best.

Good luck, sister-in-law.

- Look. There she is.
- Hey.

You're right.

That's Mother.

Mother. Get out here.

- Don't.
- Get off me.

Let go of me.

Mother!

Hang on.

What happened?

Hey.

Yesterday, with Ms. Lee,

no, my sister-in-law Mi
Jin, I had a few drinks.

We went to the chairwoman's to complain...

and Ju Won came...

My gosh.

What is wrong with me?

Why did I even go there?

Oh, no.

[Seo Ju Won: Yoon Seo.]

How am I to apologize?

[Seo Ju Won]

Yoon Seo. Do you have a hangover?

I'm sorry about yesterday.

If you're upset, it's my fault.

Call when you're no longer angry.

[Read]

She read it, so why won't she reply?

I have a stomach ache.
Get me some medicine.

Should I have bought hangover soup?

That's weird. Why is the door open?

You're here.

Yes.

The door was open.

Oh, I grilled some fish,
and it stunk up the place.

What's the occasion?

I just...

felt bad.

For making you handle all
the wedding preparations.

And for getting into trouble yesterday.

So I prepared a little something.

It looks amazing.

I'd been craving doenjang
soup since yesterday.

This is a jjigae.

I hadn't cooked in a while
and I added too much water.

You don't scrimp when
it comes to ingredients.

That's cool.

The rice is nicely cooked. It's just right.

It's instant rice I microwaved.

The side dishes are delicious.

Ji Seok made them.

I only made the jjigae.

Did you?

It's too salty, isn't it?
I'll add more water...

No. It's just right.

A little more water...

It's so good.

- Is it?
- Yes.

- Just a little?
- No.

It wasn't too bad, was it?

It wasn't.

It was good. You're the best.

I can't promise I'll cook for you often.

Okay. Thank you.

What I meant was...

It's such a shame.

I'm not a passive guy who
just eats what he's given.

You just do what you like
and what you're good at.

Oh, right. I have something to show you.

Here.

It's our wedding invitation.

I asked Mr. Lee to rush it.

[Seo Ju Won and Ha Yoon Seo]

This makes it feel real
that we're getting married.

Doesn't it?

Yes.

It feels a bit weird.

I love you.

That's random.

It's not random.

I always love you.

I love you too.

I love you.

Okay.

A wedding invitation?

I still can't believe...

that those two will be
married in a few days.

Neither do I.

Do you think Ms. Ha will manage?

Rich families are hard to
handle. What if she gets bullied?

Like...

Goodness.

It's terrible table manners.

I can't eat with someone not on my level.

Shall we have dessert without her?

I don't want to waste any on her.

Oh, my gosh!

Come and take this away!

No.

Not that.

- That!
- That!

Who, me? But...

Wait. Can I please take this?

"Mother. I've never had lobster before."

"Mother."

- Will you stop?
- Yes.

Didn't you watch too many dramas, Mr. Bae?

I guess I did.

I'll get rid of my TV right away.

- How about a toast?
- Yes.

One, two, three.

- Cheers.
- Cheers!

- Congratulations on your marriage.
- Congratulations.

Of course, the fairy-tale
I'm about to write...

could sound like a nonsensical TV drama.

- Hey, look.
- Gosh.

What are you doing?

The ending many fairy tales have,

"they lived happily ever after..."

is impossible in real life.

- Cheers?
- Cheers.

This cup is beautiful.

The liquor tastes much better
because you made the cup.

Right? Aren't you grateful?

Be sure to arrange something
for next year's anniversary.

I'm really sorry about that.

To be honest, I thought
the date we got together...

meant more than our wedding anniversary.

I was preparing something...

to celebrate our 100th day.

Didn't you make that up to make up for...

forgetting our anniversary?

No, I swear I didn't.

I knew you'd say that, so I
even prepared something.

What's that?

Look.

Interior blueprints.

Let's merge our bedrooms on the 100th day.

Not on our 100th day.

We can do that tonight.

Mi Jin.

What?

I love you.

I love you too.

Despite that,

I decided to believe that
everlasting love exists.

Ji Seok. The first step of cooking...

is buying the ingredients. Do you get that?

This is where I usually
shop. Take a look at all this.

My gosh.

- This is a webfoot octopus.
- Can you not?

- Are you out of your mind?
- A webfoot octopus.

Uncle!

As simple pleasures fill your every day...

[Lee Sung Min's Exhibition, White Night]

Perhaps your reality will become...

more lovable than a fairy tale.

The Cinderella at 2AM said...

that 2am could be a
time not filled with pain...

but excitement and expectation.

It would be ignorant
and arrogant to jump in...

not thinking it would be tough.

But the steps you take to
brave the pain and go forward...

is courage.

You're so handsome!

- You look amazing!
- You're beautiful, Ms. Ha!

Ha Yoon Seo, you look amazing!

Be happy, sis!

I'm surrounded by those I love,

and I have enough courage.

I'm sure my story...

will have a happy ending.

[Cinderella at 2AM]
