(Episode 29)

About General Manager Kang Mi Ri.

Accept her resignation.

Pardon me?

But we need to get...

approval from Mr. Chairman first.

He said he will talk to Ms. Kang privately.

I will talk to Mr. Chairman.

All I need you to do is...

accept her resignation by the rules.

Well... All right.

Ms. Jeon.

Is your daughter you have left...

28 years ago doing fine?

You must be suffering a lot from fine dust.

Come in and have a warm cup of tea.

We're giving out free dust masks...

for customers who purchase our goods.

We have new products for the spring season.

Take a look as you have a cup of tea.

- Come on in. - It's made...

- with a cool fabric. - Show her that side too.

Okay, thank you. Please come this way.

If you see here...

You'll feel a bit cooler in this shirt.

- Hello, ma'am. - My goodness.

How about you and I have some warm tea indoors?

The weather is warm.

Don't you have anything cold?

- We only have warm tea. - No thanks, then.

Hello, hello.

Warm bellflower tea or dandelion tea is good...

when there is a lot of fine dust like today.

Come in for some tea.

Gosh. If someone handsome like you says so,

I guess I should drink it.

- Let's go in. - Oh, gosh.

Shall we?

Hello.

Take a look around our store...

and have a warm cup of tea while you're at it.

Do you have windbreakers too?

- Of course. - Really?

Hello, are you looking for any clothes?

- I'm looking for a dress. - I see.

Other employees will help you when you go inside.

Hello, ma'am.

They have such a handsome employee.

Other employees will help you when you go inside.

How about this one?

Ma'am, how about...

Tae Ju is so good at this.

Why that punk...

What is it, Mr. Park? Did something happen?

Who do you think is more handsome...

between me and Han Tae Ju?

Welcome. Han Tae Ju.

Okay.

Aside from looks then, who do you think...

is more charming between us?

Welcome.

Han Tae Ju.

What? Darn it.

You still adore me more, right?

Because I've worked with you longer.

Welcome.

Why would I?

I like him more because he doesn't slack off.

What?

What's there to adore about you?

Welcome.

Ms. Kang, why do you play favorites with him?

Look at you.

(Han Cheon Ox-bone Soup)

- Hey, Min Ho. - Yes?

Do that later and come peel the radishes.

Okay.

Goodness.

- Sun Ja, you're here. - Hi.

Are you okay?

We ran out of kimchi and radish kimchi, didn't we?

Well, yes.

Hello, ma'am.

- Hi. - Hello.

That's not how you cut napa cabbages.

It's not that we're making kimchi for the winter.

You shouldn't make kimchi with whole napa cabbages.

Give me that.

Oh, okay.

Sun Ja, are you okay?

Well, we have some left to serve until tomorrow,

so why don't you rest a little more?

This is a restaurant. That much isn't enough.

That's true, but still.

What's wrong with you? Are you a stalker or what?

I told you not to show up for the time being.

That you should stay away...

so I can focus on writing.

You were away for years...

when your scripts were selected for a drama.

Why can't you stay away while I'm writing?

How is Mi Ri?

Don't ask.

We've got to get over this together as a family.

But it'll take some time.

You're right.

Don't you dare write about our family history.

What do you take me for?

Just the thought of her makes my heart break.

Anyway, I was determined to write,

but why is my family never peaceful?

It's impossible to settle your privacy.

It's just impossible...

unless you completely go off the grid.

You're right.

Maybe I should try that.

Don't be like this and write hard.

I'm done with my scripts,

so I'll give you a ride only in the morning.

I won't contact you aside from that.

How nice is it?

I get to see you every morning.

And you get to go to work at ease.

Isn't that good?

C, U, T, E. Guess what it is.

- What? - "Cute".

Why are you so cute today? You're so cute.

Goodness.

Don't be ridiculous and focus on driving.

Okay.

I called them...

because you told me to.

Good. I'll call you when I get there.

Are you sure...

you aren't going to tell Mi Hye?

She might cause a commotion.

She'll cause even a worse commotion if I do.

Woo Jin.

Woo Jin.

Still, I don't think this is right.

Stop it.

You have to have pretty hands...

to write pretty stories.

- This is enough. - I can't believe this.

Let me apply it on the other hand too.

Where are you going?

To the workshop.

"The workshop"?

What are you doing?

Stay out of it, Mr. Bang.

- Wait. - Get in.

What do you think you're doing?

What are you doing to Mi Hye?

What workshop?

Don't you have to sleep over?

Hey, Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim!

Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim. Mi Hye. Mi Hye!

Mr. Kim. Mi Hye.

Mi Hye!

You want me to compensate for not writing, right?

You know I have no money to pay you,

so you're going to sell me to somewhere, aren't you?

I guess you're a writer yourself at least.

You can make up stories when things are urgent.

That's a good idea anyway.

Give me your phone.

What?

Give me your phone.

From now on,

I'll cut you off from your privacy.

Call your mother with this.

If she knows my phone number,

she'll be reassured.

Now.

(Hannam Bridge)

Where are we going, by the way?

(Out of office)

Mi Sun, let's go have lunch.

Guys, we'll go to lunch first today.

- Okay. - Okay.

What are you waiting for?

Will you have lunch alone today?

I'm meeting someone at lunch hours.

Who?

Goodness.

She looks upset.

Maybe I shouldn't have taken my bike.

Just in case she wants to sell it again,

I better park it here for a second.

What took you so long?

Come on.

I'm coming from work.

I couldn't come out...

as soon as the clock hit the time.

What are you going to do now?

Mother wants us to pay for looking after Da Bin.

My mom is unbelievable.

Do you think she meant it?

Are you serious?

Didn't you hear what I said last night?

She meant it.

She was serious when she demanded 1,200 dollars.

"1,200 dollars"?

That's right.

Aren't you a parent?

How could you ask them to pay us...

for looking after your granddaughter?

Why couldn't I?

And how could you demand it yourself?

Our children will pay us...

out of gratitude later in time,

and we just have to take it...

when they do.

What a shameless parent you are.

You think I'm shameless?

You think I am?

You are shameless.

You're unbelievably shameless.

Look.

You should be saying that to them.

Even if Da Bin is a kid, she eats a lot.

Do you know how much Da Bin eats?

My goodness.

When she comes back from kindergarten,

I give her a snack and then dinner.

If I take her outside,

she asks me to buy her so many things.

"Buy me this, buy me that."

What choice do I have?

I'm her grandmother.

I must buy 1 out of 10 things she wants.

Good for you. You're just amazing.

What?

Even so, what's a parent?

Being a parent means making sacrifices.

I made sacrifices so far. What more must I do?

The world's a rough place.

When you have and raise a child,

and their things get tough and hard...

who are they to rely on?

Their own parents.

Must you be so hard on them?

You weigh things out, calculate,

and demand money.

Good for you.

I hope you become rich that way.

You evil woman.

- What? - Darn you.

One would think you're a great father.

Did you raise the kids?

I raised them myself.

Gosh. When you had a job,

you just gave me your meager salary.

What did you do when the kids were growing up?

What did you do?

Why are you showing off now?

What's wrong with him?

It's not like I don't know it's hard for Mother.

But she caught me totally off-guard.

When she offered to watch Da Bin,

I didn't make any financial considerations.

When my mom watched Da Bin,

she told us to save up and pay off our loans.

I had no plans.

Our mortgage, Da Bin's tuition,

our living expenses, and the utility bills.

We can barely save up.

How are we to make 1,200 dollars a month?

And to be honest,

I feel bad about Mother.

What did my mom do?

When we got married.

We could've gotten a studio near our work.

But she insisted that we live close to her,

so we bought a place beyond our budget.

Then what did she say?

"Don't be stressed that you live close to us."

"It's for your good when you have a child."

What do you think that's supposed to mean?

Doesn't it mean she'd help raise Da Bin?

What did she do after Da Bin was born?

But I never showed how hurt I felt.

Instead, I tried to make do with my mom.

And now, she won't let my mom come over,

but she wants to be paid?

Isn't that too much?

You have a point.

My mom's a problem.

What will you do?

There's no way we can afford...

1,200 dollars a month.

Wait a bit.

I'll talk to my mom tonight.

I'll go home early and sort things out with her.

You can just trust me.

What will you do?

I told you not to worry.

I have a plan.

See you at home later.

I'm off.

Honey.

Honey!

Did I make you wait? Let's get going.

Let's get going

Gosh. I totally forgot about this.

Honey.

If we sell this, we can pay Mother...

for watching Da Bin for a few months.

No, not this.

Hand it over.

I wondered why you left your car home.

Did you ride this to work?

Do you like riding in the warm sun?

Not this. You can't sell this.

- Hand it over. - I don't...

gamble, drink alcohol,

or cheat on you.

Riding my bike is my only pleasure.

You can't take it.

Aren't you going to raise Da Bin properly?

Still, I can't let you sell this.

Not this.

- Darn you. - I'm sorry.

I love you.

Hey, hey, you!

Jin Soo! Hey!

Stop where you are!

- I love you! - I'll kill you.

Come back!

Hey!

[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E29 'Mother of Mine' "Mi Ri & In Suk's Dinner" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

- Come inside. - What?

Come on. Follow me.

Come in.

Where are we?

Is this...

Yes.

It was my father's writing room.

He'd come here...

whenever he got too distracted in Seoul...

and would shut himself in to write.

Why did you bring me here?

Aren't you the queen of getting distracted?

Virginia Woolf said this in her own room.

"If a woman's to write,"

"she needs money and her own room."

Even if it's just once,

try being on your own.

Did you bring your laptop?

Yes. Here.

The toilet's inside and dinner's at six.

Until then, concentrate.

Wait.

Hey.

The new spring line is all sold out.

Yes. Some people even made reservations,

so I must place orders.

Make sure the parcels don't get mixed up.

Of course.

Ms. Kang.

Do we have a company dinner tonight?

The highlight of helping out at a store...

is the company dinner that comes afterward.

Fine.

You all worked hard.

You can have tuna, Mr. Kim's favorite,

or ribeye that Mr. Park has been...

whining about.

Eat all you want.

Yes.

Thank you, Ms. Kang.

And as a bonus,

your general manager will not join.

You should come with us.

Yes. You worked the hardest.

We'd be sad if you don't join.

You know that flattery doesn't work.

If you want to gossip about me, do so.

Don't be like Mr. Park...

and get caught badmouthing me at work.

When did I badmouth you?

In return for skipping dinner, I'll leave early.

Finish up for me.

Yes, Ms. Kang.

- Good job. - Bye.

What shall we eat?

- What? - Ribeye.

- Let's finish up. - Let's hurry.

What got into him?

- Let's finish up quick. - Let's hurry.

Ms. Kang.

Tae Ju.

You can't ditch us.

Why not?

You should have a drink with your teammates.

You didn't even tell me.

Where are you headed?

Are you...

off to see your ex who made you cry?

We haven't even been on a date yet.

I'm off to see my mom, okay?

Why? Is something wrong?

Do you need her again?

No.

My mom's sick, not me.

I'll check the restaurant and help out.

Is she very sick?

I'm a good server too.

Forget it.

You have some delicious meat and have fun.

We can hang out...

another time.

Another time, okay?

Just a moment.

Hey.

Do you think Tae Ju went...

to bring Ms. Kang back?

Why would he do that?

Then why isn't he back yet?

What's this?

Did you follow me out just to hold my hands?

What?

Can I do more?

No way.

What if someone sees?

Everyone's hard at work.

Take good care of your mom...

and help her out too.

If you need help, call me immediately.

Okay.

Tae Ju.

What are you doing?

What are you doing with Ms. Kang?

Taxi. Taxi!

Tae Ju, thank you.

Well... Okay.

Bye, Ms. Kang.

Tae Ju, will you keep doing this?

Are you trying to flatter Ms. Kang or what?

I just got her a taxi.

Still, you should be careful.

What if she changes her mind...

and joins us for dinner?

She left anyway.

All right. Let's go.

Yes?

Ms. Kang.

Where are you?

Well... I'm outside.

You may get off work now.

Yes, ma'am. Have a good evening.

Did you get off work?

Yes.

That's good.

Let's have dinner together.

I'm sorry, but I have a plan.

Just cancel it.

We don't have time.

I won't be able to make time for this next time.

Come have dinner with me.

Come to Nahyena Hotel.

Okay. I will.

It's done. Close the lid.

Okay.

My goodness.

Gosh.

That was a lot of work.

Are you staying alone without Mi Hye tonight?

Do you want me to stay here with you?

Are you worried I'd die alone here?

Gosh, Sun Ja. Why would you say that?

It's okay.

I'll be fine alone.

I'll put this in the fridge.

Don't put it in the fridge yet.

I'll do it tomorrow.

Okay.

What else should I do?

Young Dal, you should go now.

I'll clean up the kitchen.

Just go.

Already?

You're bothering me.

Just go.

Okay.

Sun Ja, I'll see you later.

Bye.

Let's go.

Welcome. Have a seat.

You said you had a plan.

Was it important?

No.

I'm glad.

So...

did your work go well today?

Yes.

We had a promotional event...

for the first half of the year.

I see.

Things have been quite successful...

in the first half of this year.

I can tell...

you are my daughter.

I'm hungry.

Let's eat something delicious.

How have you been?

Pardon me?

I'm wondering...

how you've been doing so far.

I mean, at Sun Ja's place.

I've been doing well.

Was Sun Ja nice to you?

Sure.

Are they Mi Sun and Mi Hye?

How were they?

They were very nice to me.

Like my real sisters.

And they still are.

I see.

Have you been...

living alone the whole time?

Yes.

Ever since Vice Chairman Han Sung Soo died,

I've lived alone the whole time.

Alone at the house you came to the other day.

People told me to move out...

saying it's too big for me,

but I thought I didn't have to.

It needs a lot of work,

and I wanted to stay for my dead husband's sake.

How long have you lived...

alone in the studio?

When did you move out?

Right after I got a job at the company.

It was a long commute...

from my house to the office,

so Mom allowed me to move out...

I'm sorry.

Let's give it some time.

We met again after a long time.

Right?

I stay at this hotel when I'm busy with work.

It's close to my office...

and has a good business room.

And it's convenient...

to call someone over when I'm busy.

The foods are good here, right?

Yes.

I like their steak.

I often come to eat it to recover my strength.

A woman requires more energy...

than a man when she works.

We should be physically strong,

but we are more delicate and sensitive than men.

It means we use more energy than men.

So we should eat well.

Make sure to eat a lot.

Okay?

Anyway,

I'm so relieved to see...

how well you turned out.

By the way,

you said you want to go to the States...

and study what you want to learn.

So...

what do you want to study?

What is it?

Gosh.

I'm so tired.

Gosh, my back.

It's killing me.

Wait.

The weather is pretty hot these days.

Should I keep kimchi in the fridge?

Gosh.

Goodness.

Gosh, why did Uncle not clean this up?

Look at this mess.

Mom, it's me.

Mom?

Mom.

Mom!

Mom! Mom, are you all right?

Mom! What's going on?

Mom, what's wrong?

What's all this? What should I do?

Mom!

- Oh, dear... - What should I do?

Mom, do you think you can stand up?

Don't! I can't. It's painful.

- It's really painful... - Mom! What should I do?

Mom...

- Mom, what happened? - My back...

The number you have dialed is not available...

- What? - Your call will be...

Please go inside.

Okay.

You were at the hotel?

Yes.

I have a breakfast meeting with Chairman Min...

from Misung group early in the morning tomorrow.

So...

Why do you want to get rid of Ms. Kang so bad?

After Tae Ju properly learns from her,

she will naturally fall behind anyway.

Why do you hurry so much?

Ms. Kang is the one...

who has submitted her resignation.

She's still useful. Don't accept her resignation.

Mr. Chairman.

What's the matter with you?

You act like something's going to happen right now.

Did she take advantage of your weakness?

It's dangerous to bring up...

a tiger cub too long.

"A tiger cub"?

Ms. Kang sure is a prominent woman.

She has scared the invincible Jeon In Suk.

It's not that I'm scared of her.

She is filled with ambition.

"Ambition"?

She takes after you.

So?

It's helpful to have...

a competent subordinate around you.

But it's dangerous to keep...

a competent subordinate...

with immoderate ambition.

That's who Ms. Kang really is?

Yes.

I tried to gain control of her,

and Ms. Kang submitted her resignation...

as a sense...

of defiance.

The die is cast. She refused to yield.

So I had no choice,

but to accept her challenge.

Pleases forgive me, Mr. Chairman.

Is that so?

I didn't know Ms. Kang had such a personality.

I know.

(Episode 30 will air shortly.)

(Orthopedics)

(Episode 30)

Hang in there, Mom.

They will call us soon.

All right.

- I want one more. - This is enough, Mom.

- You've got diabetes. - I'm hungry. I want more.

Goodness, Mom. This is enough for today.

- Song Yoon Ja! - Mom, let's go inside.

- This way, please. - Thank you.

Mom, I think we are up next.

Mom, is something wrong? Are you exhausted?

No...

I'm just feeling low.

You should've eaten your breakfast.

You never listen to me.

Get comfortable and lean on me.

- Slowly. - Okay.

Mom, we are up next. Hang in there, okay?

Okay.

Park Sun Ja.

Yes, we are here!

Mom, let's go inside. Take your time.

Be careful and stand up slowly.

Slowly.

We are coming.

What is this? Is Ms. Kang coming late?

She never comes late. She's taking a day off.

What? For what reason?

I don't know. She's not answering her phone.

A day off... How strange.

Mi Ri keeps loafing around lately.

She never took one day off in a year.

So the Personnel Team notified her...

and begged her to take time off.

Maybe they accepted her resignation.

That's not it.

How do you know that, Han Tae Ju?

Anyway, that's not it.

Ms. Kang won't quit.

Or is she having a blind date for a marriage?

I doubt that. How could she?

To be frank, Ms. Kang is not...

popular among ordinary men like us.

Why? Because she's too fierce.

But things change...

in the higher social classes.

Senior executive and representatives...

in other companies that Ms. Kang encounter,

have a keen impatience to marry their sons off...

to Ms. Kang.

"Which family is she from?"

"Whose daughter is she that she's so pretty..."

"and smart?"

Are you sure?

Of course. I'm sure.

She must've been asked for a date many times.

So did she go out on a blind date?

No.

Why not? She could've been a conglomerate's family.

What do you think? She has a bad temper.

Do you expect her to show amenable attitude...

because she got married?

She's not nice nor cute.

And she doesn't act amiably.

I'm so glad that my dad is not an executive.

Who knows if I had to go out on a blind date...

with Ms. Kang?

Just think about it scares me.

She's not that bad.

What was that?

Ms. Kang can be cute sometimes.

She's shy sometimes.

And she's also nice from time to time.

And...

Hey, Han Tae Ju. When did you see that?

I work away from the office with her often.

I'm just saying that she's kind...

to store managers and customers.

That's her outside of the office.

But she's not like that to us.

But you don't know what she's going through.

How can you badmouth her...

by saying that she quit...

and she went out on a blind date?

She could be busy due to the family affair...

or because her mom suddenly got sick.

That could be the reasons why she's not answering.

Mr. Park, aren't you worried about her?

Goodness, Han Tae Ju.

Your outspoken-disease has relapsed.

I agree with Tae Ju.

How dare you badmouth your superior?

Get back to work!

(General Manager Kang Mi Ri)

Oh, dear. Sun Ja!

Are you all right?

Ms. Park, are you all right?

I should've put kimchi in the fridge before I left.

Be quiet. Why are you making this a big deal?

Uncle, can you lay out the bedding for Mom?

Mi Ri, you do it.

You must be tired. I'll take care of her.

- Let's go, Sun Ja. - Mom...

Oh, dear.

- Mom, be careful. - Slowly.

Take it easy.

You can leave. You have a restaurant to run.

All right.

Nothing's going to happen if we take a day off.

Gosh, be quiet.

- Be careful. - Go back to your work.

Min Ho is out there all alone.

All right, all right.

- This is so upsetting. - Slowly.

Mom, lie down now.

- Gosh. - Goodness.

Don't you have to go to work?

I don't have to.

Why don't you have to?

Because I don't have to.

If you keep being like this,

I'll resign and take care of you by your side.

Did you...

get to have a meal...

with your mom or something?

You should do that at least once.

Whatever the situation is,

you two are mother and daughter.

You guys are parent and child.

Shut it.

You hurt your back, so stop talking.

Hey.

If you talk rudely to your mom like this,

she won't forgive you.

I've put up with you because I'm generous.

You know that?

I know that.

I know,

so please stop talking and rest now.

Mom.

I love you...

the most in the world.

I'm sorry.

I found...

another mom.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's fine.

That doesn't mean you are not my daughter anymore.

I'm fine.

I understand you.

Don't cry.

- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm okay.

What?

What did the doctor say?

She used to have a herniated disk.

And it seems to have recurred due to the shock.

She needs to get treated, take medication,

and take a rest for the time being.

This is so upsetting.

Tell her to stop making that darn kimchi.

What's so important about it?

Exactly.

But what can we do? No one can stop her.

Anyway, I'm going to take her to the hospital,

just so you know.

Okay.

What about the hospital bills?

I'm unsure how much money I have in my account.

I'll take care of that too.

Don't mind it.

Thanks, Mi Ri.

Instead, promise me...

you'll never make Mom...

look after Da Bin ever again. Understand?

Don't make her do your house chores,

clean your house, or make sides dishes for you.

I want her...

to be away from your life now, okay?

Okay.

I won't make her struggle anymore.

Please keep your promise.

Bye.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

No. It's nothing.

Don't mind me.

All right.

Let's wrap up...

and leave work happily.

- Okay. - Okay.

(Account Balance)

(Balance)

(Close an Account)

(Are you sure you want to close the account?)

(Are you sure you want to close the account?)

(Confirm)

(It has been closed successfully.)

What's wrong?

Let me wrap up later. I need to step outside.

Hey, Mi Sun.

Mi Sun.

What's going on?

What happened to her?

I'm such a horrible daughter.

I need money because Mother asked me...

to pay her for babysitting.

But I just couldn't close my savings for Da Bin.

Instead, I closed the one...

for my mom's 70th birthday.

I spend more than...

1,000 dollars a month for Da Bin,

but I can't spend even 100 dollars for my mom.

Now I'm trying to use the money I've saved for her.

My mom went through so much...

just to raise someone like me.

That's how it is.

Children are all like that.

Daughters are all like that.

You aren't the only one.

(Think about my circumstances.)

(I'm just about to lose my support.)

(During the reclamation, the American West...)

Come out and have dinner.

What are you doing? Sit down.

Well, okay.

Let's eat.

I went out grocery shopping...

and bought a few side dishes.

It's shepherd's purse doenjang soup.

Enjoy.

What is it?

Why are you...

so good to me?

Why? Does that bother you?

You need to write a nice piece...

for me to do business.

"Do business"?

What else would a chief editor do?

My job is to make writers...

write a good piece and sell it.

It's also my job to make...

a distracted writer like you focus...

and make her write well.

So while we're together,

make sure you finish writing the first draft.

Don't even think about going outside until then.

Okay.

[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E30 'Mother of Mine' "Sun Ja Injures Her Back" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Hey.

You've had enough.

How many bottles did you have?

Mi Hye...

went on a trip with a stranger.

All of a sudden.

Without discussing it with me.

That scumbag dragged Mi Hye off.

I think he took her phone too.

I can't reach her.

Hey. That chief editor guy...

called Sun Ja.

And gave her his number.

She doesn't seem worried.

She's not worried? Not worried? My foot.

A young man and woman went to a strange place.

How can she not worry?

My goodness.

What will you do?

If I were her, I would also follow...

a handsome and prominent man for a trip.

What will you do about it?

Mi Ri.

Why would you say that?

How...

How can you say that to me?

I thought you would be on my side at least.

Why are you crying?

What kind of a guy cries so easily?

Hey, Mi Ri.

I've been telling you for nine years to lose weight!

I can't lose weight.

What weight doesn't come off?

It does if you don't eat.

Don't spend to save up,

don't eat to lose weight.

Don't you dare lie to me.

You're a drama scriptwriter.

Can't you dress up a bit?

You're always in a shirt and jeans.

Do you think...

what you're wearing suits you?

That's why Mi Hye rejected you for nine years.

Do you have to bombard him with painful facts?

Get out of here, Mi Ri.

Uncle.

He needs to see the reality.

Jae Bum.

You're so obsessed with her.

That's why Mi Hye...

looks down on you and mistreats you.

You fool.

What's going on? What's all the fuss about?

- Jae Bum. - Hi, Mi Sun.

- Hi. - Hello.

Why are you crying?

- Mi Sun. - Yes, Jae Bum.

Who upset you?

Who made Jae Bum cry?

Was it you?

No. He's wailing because Mi Hye's on a trip.

What a mess.

Uncle. Mi Hye's on a trip?

Well...

Yes, Jae Bum. You poor thing.

Is Jae Bum still here?

Yes.

Why are you sitting up?

I was on my back all day.

What's this?

Strawberries. Your favorite.

Why did you buy me some?

Give them to Da Bin.

I just...

feel so bad for everything.

What's wrong with everyone?

Why do you always cry around me?

Are you crying to rehearse for...

when I'm dead?

It's not that.

I think you're suffering now...

because I made you watch Da Bin.

Hey.

If it was that, I'd have gotten sick long ago.

Old age brings injuries.

Will you stop crying?

Why is everyone ruining the mood?

What should we do about Jae Bum?

Is he still drinking?

Mi Hye went on a trip?

I think...

I should marry Mi Hye off to Jae Bum this year.

You'll marry her off to Jae Bum?

Who else would she marry?

Jae Bum's so reliable...

and he just adores Mi Hye.

You won't find a guy better than him.

He brought a cake and flowers...

when he heard I was in pain.

My gosh. You are so heavy.

Gosh, you're heavy.

Hey, Jae Bum, can you please wake up?

My gosh.

Oh, dear.

By the way,

how's your mother?

She's the same.

Isn't she struggling with Da Bin?

No. She didn't say so.

I guess she likes Da Bin.

She would. Da Bin is her granddaughter.

Why get so nasty when she loves Da Bin?

You should go home.

Take the cake that Jae Bum brought.

Why don't you eat it?

I don't like cream. It's too greasy.

Give Da Bin some. And Jin Soo too.

He's like a kid and loves desserts.

Give him some.

Why are you still here?

Get going.

Your mother will be waiting.

My goodness.

Okay. I'll stay a little longer.

Get going.

- Mom. - What?

- Have a strawberry. - Okay.

Is it good?

It's really sweet.

- Min Ho, customers. - Okay.

- Hi. Come this way. - Okay.

Welcome. Come this way.

What's going on?

Why haven't you called yet?

Welcome.

Sorry, I'm busy today.

You were busy yesterday and today too?

You went to see your mom yesterday,

then you took a day off to stay with her today.

When will you see me?

Welcome.

Take your time and pick from the menu.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Oh, dear.

Sorry.

Will you be late today?

Yes.

I'll come to the restaurant to see you.

No.

Why not?

I'll come over.

Just to see your face.

No. Wait at the studio.

What? Ms. Kang.

No, wait.

Ms. Kang.

No. Wait.

"No, wait. No. Wait."

Is she training a puppy?

Am I a puppy or what?

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

Darn it.

Sir.

Is there a picture that I don't see yet?

Pardon?

Tae Ju gave this to me.

He told me to kill my temper...

and learn to control my thoughts.

Putting this puzzle together tonight...

makes me feel slightly odd.

What do you mean?

How long have you worked for me?

It's been 30 years now, sir.

What about that woman?

Who do you mean?

Ms. Jeon.

Oh, her.

She joined two years...

after I started working for you.

You've been around slightly longer.

Yes, sir.

Right. I still remember...

the day she sat here looking like a flower.

So do I.

She was truly elegant and beautiful.

She still is, of course.

That's why I took her in.

But what?

Investigate Ms. Kang and Ms. Jeon's relationship.

Pardon?

I have a feeling...

there's a picture I don't see yet.

Wow, it's a cake.

Mom, whose birthday is it?

Jae Bum just bought it for you.

Do you want to go to your grandpa's and share this?

Yes.

Okay. Let's do that.

Mom, how could you do this to me?

I've given you a lot of spending money so far.

When did you give me spending money?

That's ridiculous.

I did when I first worked part-time.

And I did when I got my first salary.

And...

I did on the lunar New Year's Day this year.

I can't believe this.

I'm glad you brought it up.

You gave me 100 dollars when you worked part-time.

And you got me 100 dollars from your first salary.

I wasn't going to say this,

but on the lunar New Year's Day,

you got me 190 dollars. What does that mean?

It's not even 200 dollars.

Am I a beggar or what?

That's because Mi Sun made a miscount.

I told her to prepare 50-dollar bills.

Mi Sun says you'd spend money more lavishly...

if we got you 50-dollar bills.

Isn't it that she didn't want...

to give money to her parents-in-law?

Mom!

I know Mi Sun has a hot temper,

but she's not that kind of person.

That's it.

Anyway,

I can't pay you for taking care of Da Bin.

I have to be paid.

Mom!

Mom, we don't have much money.

Mother, we're here.

I still have to get paid.

Only then you will learn my life is important too.

Do you even know how much my life is worth...

in money terms?

I don't have much time left in my life.

Mom.

Da Bin, go to your grandpa's room.

Okay.

Grandpa.

Hey, Da Bin. You're here.

Come here.

I know.

So you can live a rewarding life...

taking care of your precious grandchild.

And you can help us when we're busy.

There's nothing more to say.

If you make light of my life like that,

I'm not taking care of Da Bin.

- Mom! - And...

spend more money...

to get a babysitter.

I heard babysitters make more than...

2,000 dollars a month.

Hey.

I'm glad you're here.

When did you come?

Hey, what do you think I am?

Just because I'm a grandma,

do I have to squabble with my son...

over how much money he's given me...

on his first payday or the New Year's day...

just to get 1,200 dollars?

Do I really have to do this?

What is this?

It's for taking care of Da Bin.

Honey.

Before you told us,

I should've taken care of it sooner.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I'm glad you know that.

And...

I brought some cake.

Let's eat the cake together.

It looks delicious.

Mom.

Hey, hands off.

Mom, are you going to take the money?

- Mom! - Why?

Are you really my mom?

I regret that I'm your mom.

- Honey. - Let go of it.

- Mother. - Gosh.

Mom, give me that. You can't do this, Mom.

- Why not? - Mom.

Will you come down a little, please?

Honey!

What are you talking about?

I can't stand this anymore.

Da Bin is right there. What are you guys doing?

The son who is insisting not to give money...

and the mom who's so determined to get it.

As the head of this family,

I'm too embarrassed to see Da Bin's face.

If you keep doing this, we should just split up.

Let's do that.

Jin Soo, move away from us.

And you, let's get divorced.

What's all the mess?

This isn't even a family.

And what is this?

Are you having a party...

for exchanging money?

No.

Why would you need a cake for a family like this?

Gosh, Father.

Dad.

You...

Honey.

Father...

Darn it.

Dad!

Gosh, my mom is so...

Is there any way?

Da Bin, don't run so fast. Come with me.

I got it.

Honey.

There's a way.

What is it now?

Let's talk at home. Da Bin's going alone.

Listen to me.

I think...

we should...

ask Mother to take care of Da Bin again.

What?

Honey.

What?

Ask my mom to take care of Da Bin again?

What are you doing?

You said you're stressed out because of my mom.

Now that your mom wants money, what?

Ask my mom to take care of Da Bin again?

Why are you being like this?

You ride a bike that costs 20,000 dollars.

But my mom has to look after your kid...

even when she almost broke her back?

Hey, Mi Sun. What are you doing?

You selfish punk.

Darn it. You jerk!

Hey.

Get up.

I said get up.

Why are you being like this?

Do you still call yourself son-in-law?

- Let go of me. - You punk.

- Hey. - How dare you say that?

Don't pull my hair.

Do you know how my mom is doing now?

You jerk.

Just kill me.

- You idiot. - I don't want to live.

Gosh, I'm sorry. Let go of it.

- You jerk! - Mi Sun.

I'm sorry.

I really am, Tae Ju.

Sorry doesn't cut it.

You made me wait.

I had no choice.

I had to take my mom to a hospital.

She was in a lot of pain.

Then you should've called me.

You didn't answer my call...

and didn't call me.

I texted you, and what?

"No. Wait."

"No. Wait."

Am I a puppy?

A barking puppy?

A Jindo dog?

A Retriever or Shih Tzu?

Okay. I'm sorry.

I'll buy you a nice lunch.

Forget it.

The door is open.

14th floor.

What will make you feel better?

What do you want me to do?

Bow-wow.

Bow-wow.

Bow-wow.

Will this do?

Bow-wow. Bow-wow.

Bow-wow.

Bow-wow. Gosh.

Gosh, this is killing me.

I can't stand this.

Gosh.

- You're so cute! - Hey!

Hey, stop it.

Wait. Stop it.

Gosh, Tae Ju.

Just stay still.

I really missed you.

Gosh. Stop it.

Hey. Don't do this. Wait.

What?

What are you doing?

Just stay still.

Why won't you listen to me?

What if someone sees us?

(Mother of Mine)

Let's go out on a date.

Isn't it uncomfortable?

Do we look alike?

It's good to see your mother, isn't it?

- Mom. - You should get married.

Can I go to have ox-bone soup again?

- Now. - My gosh.

Why did you come without a notice?

Hurry up and get ready.

This is our first time spending time together.

How did you sort things out with Mi Ri?

Be patient.

I want a divorce.

Thank you very much!

I'll apologize on my son's behalf.

- Why should I? - You jerk!

I hate you the most, Dad!

Where is Mi Hye? Bring her to me!

You scared me!

Why don't you write about your family?

- Are you sure? - Good job.

Why do you say that?

No matter how close, never trust anyone.

Why do you ask me about that?

Where are you?
