Original subtitles

I...

don't want to get married.

Are you saying

that you won't marry my son?

It's why I asked to talk to you alone today.

It's not Gi-seok's fault.

If he were here,

he would've made it out to be though.

However, that's not the case.

We...

just failed one another.

EPISODE 15

I guess we should've talked sooner.

Take care, then.

Kid, what's wrong?

Why? Gosh, it's all right.

Where's your mom?

Do you know where your mom is?

Your mom will be soon. It's all right.

-Eun-u. -There she is.

Gosh, she's here.

What's wrong?

Daddy...

I can't find my dad.

It's all right.

Don't cry, Eun-u. Your dad will be here soon.

It's okay. I'm here, aren't I?

Ms. Lee!

What a relief.

I think she is his teacher.

-It's all right. -Take care.

Thank you.

You're good now.

SEONGDONG PUBLIC LIBRARY

It's all right.

-Eun-u, your dad's here. -What's wrong?

Dad!

What's going on? Were you crying?

It's all right.

He was playing with the other kids, so...

It's true.

Eun-u, you're being a baby. I was right outside.

Are you blaming him again?

Of course not.

It's all right.

CHILDREN'S READING ROOM

Why did you bring him here if you weren't going to watch him?

See? He was fine on his own,

so I just...

stepped out to get some fresh air.

It only takes seconds for kids to get into trouble.

You sound like you've raised one.

I'm not a parent, but even I know that it's wrong.

But how could you, his father, be so reckless?

You're right. I lack as a dad in many ways.

-Are you sulking? -As if.

You are.

Why are you here anyway?

I work here, remember?

But it's your day off.

Did you choose to come today because I wouldn't be here?

Why?

Isn't it obvious?

I was quite happy to bump into you though.

I guess that wasn't the case for you.

Anyway, don't be too considerate.

I'd prefer it that way.

What are you doing here?

-Why are you here? -Your coffee.

I needed to vent, but you were at work today.

Still, why come to the office on your day off?

You're insane.

How did it go? Did you speak your mind?

I guess. There's going to be some serious blowback though.

I see you set off the bomb.

That pharmacist is here with his nephew.

A young man spending time with his nephew on his day off?

That's not easy for anyone to do, right?

What?

Nothing.

Are you breaking it off with Gi-seok next?

How did Gi-seok and I end up here?

That's how it is with long-term relationships.

The process of breaking up begins before you even know it.

It's not just that.

I didn't even know I've been going through the process myself,

but I was brazen enough to give others advice.

To whom?

If only you'd eat your meals this well.

Did you get scared when you couldn't find me?

I thought you had abandoned me.

That's absurd. Why would I ever do that?

You were gone.

But the teacher came, so I wasn't scared anymore.

Are you fond of her?

-Yes. -Why?

She's nice.

What about you?

What do you mean?

Are you fond of her too?

Yes.

-Why? -What?

Because she's nice.

Dig in.

-Are you going somewhere? -To Jeong-in's.

-What? -She's not picking up.

They must still be talking then.

They'll part ways before dinner, so I'll go there and wait.

Tae-hak, please.

I need to know what happened.

I'm sure someone will call.

Either Jeong-in or Mr. Kwon will call us.

But she's not picking up.

What's Mr. Kwon's number?

Don't be like this.

What's there to be scared of?

As parents, we have the right to say

that he should be nice to our daughter.

Don't you dare.

This is wrong, you know.

I know he's your boss, but family still comes first.

Your family and children should be your priority.

You think I'm being a coward,

but that's because you don't know how he is.

Once he makes up his mind,

there's nothing you can do to change it.

-Take me to Gi-seok's. -Yes, sir.

Can I get you some tea?

Was the meeting with Jeong-in

uncomfortable?

She's a decent young woman.

You don't see women like her these days.

She's even more mature than you.

It won't be easy.

She's not the type that you can easily contain.

Try to think of it long-term.

Like I said, she has a rare quality.

Those rare are harder to obtain anyway.

Do your best.

-I will. -Let's go.

CHILDREN'S READING ROOM

-Hi. -Where are you?

I had to stop by the office.

It's just that you didn't call.

How did it go with my father?

Wasn't it uncomfortable?

He was kind and generous.

My father is quite the silent type,

but I guess he liked you.

I'm not busy, but...

Wait, can you hold?

-What are you looking for? -The restock log.

Oh, that.

-Gi-seok, can I call you back-- -Sure.

Isn't he pissed?

Actually, he's being sweeter than usual.

It's so like him though.

He's not going down without a fight.

He knows that you would've spoken your mind to his father,

so what else can it be?

He's going to try and power through this.

PHARMACIST

We're heading out.

Gosh, Jeong-in.

I'm almost at the library.

Take your time. I'll grab a cup of coffee.

Let's have something nice for dinner.

-Pork cutlet? -Sure thing.

What about Ms. Lee?

She'll be down soon, so be nice and proper.

Okay.

Ms. Lee!

I'll be right back.

What's wrong?

Gi-seok's here.

So?

There's another exit at the end of the hall.

Ji-ho...

Are you even going to make my son miserable?

I think you misunderstood me.

No, this one's on you.

You told me I don't have to be too considerate.

Why is this case any different?

Eun-u isn't me.

I can put up with anything, but not Eun-u.

I won't forgive anyone who hurts my son.

Let's go.

Ji-ho?

You should say hello.

Hello.

Oh, hi.

Hi, there.

You're quite handsome, aren't you?

Didn't I see you here before too?

You must come here often.

Hyeon-su said you live near the pharmacy.

I do.

My girlfriend works here.

Did you know that?

Yes, I did.

They have a nice selection of children's books.

I see.

It's late, so...

Oh, sure.

Hold on.

Wait.

-Gi-seok, please. -It's fine.

-Please don't. -Let go.

Ask your dad to buy you something delicious.

Okay?

Dad.

Can we buy pork cutlet with this?

-Yes. -Yours too?

Yes.

SEONGDONG PUBLIC LIBRARY

Hey, what's wrong?

Why are you crying?

Gi-seok.

It's okay. Please don't cry.

I'm sorry.

What?

I'm sorry, Gi-seok.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAM CLASSES

You shouldn't be late after asking someone to buy you a meal.

You're the one who offered.

I'm still buying though.

You're right.

Your eyes are bloated. Did you get into an argument?

I ended it with Jae-in.

You got dumped again?

I'm the one who did the dumping.

How so?

You made the right choice.

It's best to stay away from those sisters.

Ji-ho might have fallen for her, but it'll soon pass.

He hasn't dated in quite a while.

He could've mistaken kindness for romantic feelings.

You're desperate, aren't you?

This just can't happen.

We need to stop him. He's no match for Gi-seok.

Who can stop him?

Have you seen him giving up when he set his mind to something?

You're right.

Unbelievable.

How can I face Gi-seok again if this gets out?

I guess it could get awkward.

Still, it's wrong of him to blame others

for his girlfriend falling out of love.

Seriously?

Someone's stealing his girlfriend.

He can't think rationally.

All he'll see is red.

Let's call Ji-ho out.

He went to the library with Eun-u.

Shit. Are they having family outings already?

He mentioned going to the library before.

I wonder if it was where Jeong-in works.

He's lost his mind.

Is he even thinking?

What's making him so bold?

-Jeong-in. -Why is she being bold then?

Ji-ho.

What are you talking about?

Love, you idiot.

He was going to find out sooner or later.

Although, he might feel especially betrayed

since it was on the day you met his father.

Ji-ho was furious when he left.

Aren't you worried about Gi-seok?

And the pharmacist isn't in a position to get mad at you.

He practically used

his nephew to find an excuse to see you.

That's not it.

Of course it is.

He felt awkward to come alone, so he brought a child.

-It's his son. -Yes, I saw him. He's obviously a boy.

Whose son?

His son.

He's Ji-ho's son.

Hold on.

Give me a second.

Is the pharmacist married?

Jeong-in!

He's a single father.

Gosh, Jeong-in.

It's why I said I wasn't confident enough.

This has nothing to do with confidence.

What are you going to do?

I'm lost right now.

It's giving me a headache.

Just wait a second.

Did something bad happen?

Mom, shall I meet the lady you wanted to set me up with?

Why?

Just the other day, you said there's someone you like.

Because you wanted to set me up.

You should date the one that you like.

There's no guarantee that the one I like will want to date someone like me.

There's nothing wrong with you.

Everyone has scars, so you can just call it even.

You don't lack anything.

You're smart and good-looking.

Plus, you have a good job. You're a pretty good catch.

So I shouldn't date someone who isn't scarred?

Obviously.

Not everyone he meets will be in the same situation as he is.

Because of Eun-u?

That is one of the reasons.

But why would you want to put someone without such a flaw through all that?

That's selfish. It's bad karma.

Don't even think that it may be possible.

That lady you like... Has she never been married?

Give up immediately.

No, just give up.

Why are you jumping to conclusions like that?

Honey, you'd better not encourage him.

It won't work out.

Mom.

No matter what it is, there is

a world of difference between those who've experienced it and those who haven't.

She has no idea what it's like,

and you'll expect her to understand you?

That's so selfish. How unfair is that?

Enough, stop.

It's your life,

so decide wisely.

That's all you can do.

EPISODE 16 WILL AIR SHORTLY

EPISODE 16

Seo-in, did you ask Si-hoon to meet you here?

No, he's here for a show.

What are you doing here?

Jae-in, it's you.

What are you doing here?

And you should've called me.

Why?

What do you mean? So that we can grab a meal together.

She hasn't changed one bit.

But your parents didn't mention anything about Jae-in.

They said nothing about her being back when we visited them.

She came back recently.

-Shouldn't you head in-- -Hey, when shall we hang out?

Anytime is fine for us, so come over, okay?

Right, we're going to invite Jeong-in and her boyfriend over soon.

You guys can all come over together.

You prefer staying in anyway.

And I have to head in for a shoot now.

I'm running late. Let's hang out, okay?

And honey, I'll see you at home. See you later.

Jae-in...

will stay at our place.

Sorry to inconvenience you.

Jeong-in keeps pestering me.

I see. That's not good. Yes, stay at our place.

-The shoot's about to start. I have to go. -Okay, bye.

You haven't changed at all.

-Call me later. -Okay.

What's going on?

We're getting a divorce.

I asked you to come meet me today to tell you that you should stay

at my place for the time being.

Okay, but why?

What does it have to do with you getting a divorce?

We're not living together.

But he comes by occasionally when he's drunk and bothers me.

So you want me to be your gatekeeper?

I'll give you an allowance.

That's a given.

It won't be for long. Please do it for me.

By the way,

Si-hoon didn't seem to know about Jeong-in wanting to break up with Gi-seok.

I guess Gi-seok never showed it in front of him.

It'll take some time for them to end things.

Both of my sisters are in such a mess.

What's wrong with Jeong-in?

She's changed.

I should meet up with her soon and catch up.

Not now.

Give her some time.

She's so confused right now.

Then stay with her a little longer and look after her.

What if Si-hoon comes by again?

Just look after Jeong-in for now.

Gi-seok, did you have lunch?

I couldn't find you when I was going for lunch.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

No, it's nothing.

DAD

Are you not confident?

You said you'll have regrets.

I have to think about Eun-u as well.

You still have a lot to learn to become a real parent.

One of the things that people hate

among the comments their parents often make is,

"I gave up and sacrificed everything for you."

Do you think Eun-u will thank you if you tell him when he's all grown up

that you gave up dating because of him?

That's not what I meant.

Then why use Eun-u as an excuse? That's so immature and petty.

-Hye-jeong. -Don't call me like that.

Am I wrong? You're being so immature.

My mom told me not to even dream about dating someone who isn't like me.

Don't be ridiculous.

So? Are you saying you're torn because of what your mother said?

You said you want to be reckless.

Go for it. I've got your back.

Just do it, or you'll have regrets.

If it doesn't work out, you can give up then.

She's too good for that.

You're annoying the hell out of me. I hope things don't work out, then.

Bye.

Hey, Gi-seok!

-My gosh, hello. -What?

-Is that Gi-seok? -Oh, my.

-Long time no see. -You're here too.

-How have you been? -What's gotten into you?

Oh, I was in the area and thought I should stop by.

-I see. -Nice to see you.

How's your girlfriend? You're still together, right?

What was her name again?

-Jeong-in? -Oh, yes. Jeong-in.

-You should've brought her. -Yes.

Well, next time. I'll get a beer too.

Sure, just a second.

Are you not getting married?

We promised you that we'd sing at your wedding.

You'll have to tell us in advance.

Okay, I will.

Then let's see if you've still got it.

-Yes, show us. -Jeez, cut it out.

Come on. Show us!

-I quit playing guitar. -That's bullshit.

Then pick it up again. Come on!

Hey, you've had this guitar for so long.

It's a good guitar.

Let's just drink.

-Gosh, dude. -You're such a downer.

-I came here to drink. -All right, cheers.

It's good to see you.

Why are you out here?

Are you already drunk?

No, I wanted some fresh air.

What's going on?

You obviously came

because something's bothering you.

No, nothing's going on.

Do you regret quitting music?

Cut it out, you prick.

We're very proud of you for doing so well for yourself.

Let's get back inside and drink more.

You said you told Mr. Kwon that you don't want to get married.

Then how come he's not saying anything to us?

Shall I make up whatever you want to hear?

You're getting all snappy again. Enough is enough, okay?

I'm so sick and tired of having to appease your dad all the time.

Must I walk on eggshells even around you?

I'm sorry.

You say that when you have nothing to say.

Hey, your dad is home. I have to go.

I thought you had dinner plans.

We called it an early night.

Well...

Jeong-in called earlier.

-What did she say? -She said the talk went well.

Bullshit.

Why? Did Mr. Kwon say something to you?

-Did he? -He wouldn't even look at me.

What the heck did she say to him?

Why is he treating me like a useless mutt now?

How could she be so self-centered?

Well, she didn't say much,

but she told him that she doesn't want to get married right away.

Then when is she going to get married?

When she's 50?

Tell her to just forget about it!

I don't care anymore, so let her do whatever the hell she wants to do!

Are you just going to keep killing time?

You need to sort things out.

I know, I should.

You know what's funny though?

As for Ji-ho, I'm scared that he might ignore my call.

And as for Gi-seok, I'm scared that he'll answer.

You're not ready to deal with him resenting you?

That I can totally deal with.

I don't know about other things,

but one thing that bothers me is...

After being together for years,

it's ending in a way that's too...

-Anyway, I don't feel good about it. -It hasn't ended yet.

It's never really over until you see each other at your ugliest.

-So we still have a long way to go? -You sure do.

First, you need to sort things out with Ji-ho.

I bet he was so turned off by what you did.

He probably doesn't want to see me again.

Apologize to him in person for hurting his feelings.

What if I can't see him after that?

Who is it?

It's Ji-ho.

Your last chance is happening so soon.

Hello?

How about the park we went to last time?

Did I catch you at a bad time?

What are you going to say?

I'm not really here to talk.

Then why are you here?

I wanted to see you.

What?

Just be honest with me. Don't tease me like this.

I'm not following.

I know you're mad at me.

I was,

but I was also worried you might use that as an excuse and run away.

Will you keep joking around?

Do you think I'm stupid?

I guess you really are a fool.

I'm telling you the truth. Why are you angry?

That's really it?

You wanted to see me? That's all?

I should just date another woman.

How could you believe that right away?

You're so mean.

We tend to pick up mean tricks quickly.

I've decided to stop wondering whether or not

I deserve to ask you

to be with me.

No matter when you decide to come to me, and even if you choose not to be with me,

I'm just going to love you.

I realized Yu Ji-ho

loves...

Lee Jeong-in.

Will you cry again and say nothing?

I checked everything.

As for this, we were expecting it,

-Mr. Kwon. -so it should be okay.

Someone's calling you.

-Who is it? -Nam Si-hoon.

Just let it ring.

If we enter this value, it becomes--

But we e-mailed this to them,

-didn't we? -Yes, we did.

-Hello. -Hello.

Oh, hello.

I need to expand my clinic, but I'm short of cash.

Sell the house or something and help me out.

I'll pay you back, okay?

Once I expand the clinic, I'll get more patients in no time,

-so I'll earn it back quickly. -I have no money.

And why do I have to get involved in it?

We'll be divorced soon.

Hey, you'd better listen to me. Okay?

I won't divorce you even if your family gets involved, so let's take the easy way.

Lend me some money.

As soon as the loan I asked Gi-seok to look into gets approved,

I'll pay you back right away.

What's the problem?

You've lost your mind.

What's wrong?

Don't do anything stupid. I'm warning you.

Jae-in.

What's up?

I think Seo-in is pregnant.

What? Did she say that to you?

She asked me to pick up a pregnancy test.

I got scared, so I came to talk to you first.

Can you leave now by any chance?

Now?

-Jeong-in. -Yes.

-Hey, I'm sorry. -Don't be.

-What about the manager? -He has no idea.

I feel as if I'm making you guys aid in a crime or something.

Come on. This is nothing.

It's almost time to go home anyway.

Oh, right. On my desk, there is--

Yeong-ju is already taking care of it.

As for the new releases, I'll get as much done as possible.

You've done a lot more for me.

Don't make me feel bad.

Keep feeling bad and just get going before the manager sees you.

I'll buy you lunch tomorrow. Thanks again.

All right, get going.

-Jeong-in, do you mind driving? -No, not at all.

-Sit in the back with Seo-in. -Okay.

I don't know for sure yet.

I wanted to check just in case.

What? I got so scared that I ran to talk to Jeong-in right away.

-She even left work early for you. -Seo-in, how are you feeling now?

I'm feeling much better.

I was so dizzy earlier that I couldn't drive.

Could it be something else?

I'll take a pregnancy test first just to check.

If it's not that, I'll see a doctor.

Don't go alone. Make sure you take Jae-in with you.

All right.

I shouldn't have come back from France.

I'm being a nuisance today, aren't I?

You're hurting my feelings.

I'm just so grateful.

I think Si-hoon is trying to take out a loan through Gi-seok.

Jeez, everything that guy does irks me so much.

Why didn't you tell him they broke up?

They broke up?

I'm trying to end things.

-It'll take a while. -Hey, Jae-in.

Anyway, make sure Gi-seok doesn't get involved.

It'll only stress you out more.

I know what you're saying.

How about we have a nice meal together?

Oh, I bought the thing.

-Here. -Give it to me later.

Sure, let's do that. Let's just have fun today.

-Okay? -Good?

Can we have fun? For real?

Yes, of course.

Why aren't you eating?

Hey, has Gi-seok figured it out?

-What did he say? -I'd rather have him say something.

He wouldn't even talk to me.

What? So he still doesn't know?

That woman... I mean, Jeong-in didn't say anything to you?

No, she didn't.

Then what could it be?

Is it because of Nam Si-hoon?

Who is that?

He's a dentist.

Oh, he must be Jeong-in's brother-in-law.

What are you talking about?

The news anchor, Lee Seo-in, is her sister, you know.

You guys didn't know?

So... Hey.

The news anchor, Lee Seo-in, is Jae-in's sister?

Yes.

What's the matter?

What about her?

I heard she married a dentist.

Nam Si-hoon must be that dentist.

Well, he applied for a loan,

but he doesn't qualify at all.

It looks like he keeps pestering Gi-seok about it.

Gi-seok even ignored his call today.

The thing is though, if his application for the loan can't be approved,

Gi-seok can just explain it to him.

Why would he ignore his call?

Are they on bad terms now?

Hey, what's wrong?

Don't mind me. Hey, maybe Gi-seok has figured it out.

Why do you say that?

He's avoiding her brother-in-law,

so they're probably not on good terms.

My gosh, Yeong-jae.

You're so smart. I don't get why you fail the exam every year.

I don't get it either. Jeez.

WOORI PHARMACY

Where is Ji-ho's place?

Send me his address.

Yes.

Gi-seok is there? What did he say?

He didn't come in. He's in front of the building now.

Did you tell him you're here?

He's probably there to see Ji-ho.

Does he know that he lives here?

-I don't know. -What do I do? Go out and talk to him?

What do I say to him though?

Yeong-ju, I'll call you right back.

Hi, Jeong-in.

-Where are you? -I'm on my way home.

Is it about Gi-seok?

You already know?

Yes.

-I'll head over there now, so-- -Don't come.

Ji-ho.

We knew I'd have to talk to him at least once.

Don't worry. I'll handle him.

No, that's not right. I'll go sort it out.

This is my problem.

I have a favor to ask you though.

What is it?

I want to be honest and tell everything.

Can I do that?

Yes.

Then it's all good. Don't worry.

How can I not worry?

Then keep worrying about it.

How could you crack a joke now?

I'm just trying to tell you it'll be fine.

Don't worry too much. I'll call you later.

I'm sorry.

For liking me?

Gosh, stop it.

Put your worries to rest.

You have to call me, okay?

All right.

Talk to you later, then.

You should eat more.

This is the biggest meal I've had as of late.

What's wrong?

Gi-seok went to see Ji-ho.

My gosh.

Ji-ho?

It's the guy she's crazy about.

Why does he want to meet him?

Because of you?

It's obviously because of Jeong-in.

What if Gi-seok beats him up to a pulp?

They're adults, so they won't behave like kids.

You never know. People can do anything when they're pissed off.

Don't you have to go?

Ji-ho told me not to come.

Of course.

They won't be able to talk if you're there.

I should've been more thoughtful.

I shouldn't have given it away like that.

Gi-seok was bound to find out.

I know, but now is not the right time.

They're gone.

Hey, what if they're fighting in an empty lot or something?

This isn't about winning.

You're wreaking havoc on a woman's life,

and I'm simply trying to stop that.

You'd better stop acting up when I'm warning you nicely.

Jeong-in and I will get married before the year ends.

Oh, you'll tell him about us?

What about Ji-ho? You'll tell him all about that too?

I told you I can't let you choose the wrong path.

Damn it!

So what kind of man are you talking about?

Someone who has a warm heart. There's someone I like.

You said she's never been married. I told you to give up on her.

What are you thinking?

What do you think will happen to us?

I'm in trouble.

I love you, Ji-ho.
