Who is it, at this hour?

Your wife.

What?

What am I going to do?

I told her I'd be out of town.

Just hold still.

I will handle this.

You shouldn't open the door!

Good evening.

You remember me, right?

I'm Assistant Shin Mo Ru's wife.

Yes, I know. What brings you here at this late hour?

I heard you were quite sick.

Congressman Park's wife has personally called me out of worry.

I'm in good condition now. Sorry for your trouble.

But still, I've brought you this porridge, some side dishes and others.

If it's okay with you,

I'll just stack them in the fridge.

I'm sorry to say,

but I have a company in the house right now.

Huh?

Oh, okay.

Ah, yes.

Then I'll just hand these to you.

Please take care of yourself,

and I hope you get better soon.

I appreciate it.

Good-bye then.

She's gone now.

How did she find out?

I guess it was Congressman Park's wife.

She must've sent your wife

to do her a favor to try and get me to be his assistant.

Sadly though,

these aren't my taste.

Could you put them away? They smell foul.

Okay. You should try them later when you get better.

My wife happens to be a fine cook.

Just throw them away!

Throw away all these? But why?

Oh, alright..If they don't suit your taste, I guess I will.

Why is his car parked all the way over here?

I had to be out of town on a short notice.

One of my boss' friends was bereaved and I had to be there on his behalf.

I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning.

Honey,

Where are you right now?

What do you mean where am I? I told you I was at the funeral.

But, your car...

But, why is your car...

What about my car?

Oh, I let Assistant Hwang use mine.

She had an emergency and her car broke down all of a sudden.

Oh, really?

I came to her place to do Mrs. Park a favor

and I just saw your car on the way out.

Okay, then. Have a safe trip back.

You sure have changed a lot.

Weren't you the type of person that couldn't lie before?

Hey, if you are okay on your own, I should get going.

Try to get some rest.

You already told her you were out of town,

there's no need for you to go home right now, is there?

Why don't you have a glass of wine with me here? Just like old days.

Dad, what is all this?

Well, I've been mending some clothing so that you could try them on, honey.

They might feel clumsy and awkward,

with my fingers rusty and all..

You know how one show hits success,

everything the leading actress wears goes into fashion.

Daddy's awesome!

I love all the pieces,

And they go perfect with the concept of the show!

Perfect my ass!

With such tacky and corny-looking pieces, how are you to be the leading actress?

You think anyone is going to notice you on TV?

Mom, I'm playing a simple wife getting kicked out of the house by the husband.

There is nothing classy and fancy about it.

I just need to look simple and plain, that's all.

I'll even wear them to the script reading tomorrow!

You'll be okay with that?

I just skimmed through your script, and figured you had a pure and innocent character.

Thought they might go well with the role.

You want to try them on?

Yes.

There you go. See how pretty you look!

My oh my!

Thanks to my sister-in-law, all this sashimi!

And it's not even my birthday!

Enough already, you woman!

What's the matter with you today?

Dear brother,

Can't we just be at peace and let her be?

It's not like we drink everyday.

Even the president gets out of ties and belts once in a while.

Stop the nonsense and get to sleep!

Shame on you all, such a nuisance!

Why does it always have to be your way!

I just..

want to have some drinks today

And you can't even let me do that?

Keep your voice down!

Where do you think you are!

Are you going insane with all that alcohol now?

Why did you do it?

Why couldn't you just let me raise my child?

Why did you give her away?

I...

All I wanted to do was to feed her in my own arms!

What are you to mess with my life like that?

I think you had a little too much, sweetie.

Let's get to sleep. I'll make your bed.

I'm not drunk!

In that dark, little room,

I went into labor and cut the umbilical cord with my teeth! That's how I gave birth!

Today is that very day.

And I can't even buy a cake and blow candles,

can't make a seaweed soup.

That's why I bought this dish of sashimi and a bottle of soju!

And you can't even have a drink or two with me?

When you are the one who separated us!

You are the one who caused me all this pain, you horrible old man!

Have you lost your mind?

Yes I've lost my mind!

You've raised a kid yourself!

I don't even know she's alive or not!

Her birthday comes around every year!

What kind of a parent wouldn't go crazy?

My child got sent away to some stranger's family,

and that little thing had been through so much and she had gone missing!

How can I be so shameless to go on living?

Keep your voice down!

What is there to brag about!

You are going to wake up the whole neighborhood!

Why, why, why?!

Are you that scared of what others might think of us?

A single woman having a child is that much of an embarrassment to you?

When you sent my daughter away,

why didn't you just kill me, huh?

How could I forget it was her daughter's birthday?

Oh my goodness...

Where have you been at this late hour?

Leaving the kitchen in such a mess.

I thought you were in bed.

Someone was sick, so I made her some porridge.

Oh, right. You've met her before.

It was Assistant Bomi Hwang, a friend of your son.

Who?

Bomi Hwang?

Yes.

I didn't know either,

but I think she might be put under Congressman Park.

What? She's going to work under him?

I should take care of her, since she will be his co-worker.

Whatever it is,

what's all this fuss with the porridge in the middle of the night?

What a philanthropist we have here.

Your husband's not back yet?

No. He had to leave town to pay condolences. He'll be back by the morning.

And Mother,

I couldn't find time to tell you this before, but

I think I'll be doing a little work from now on.

Work?

You know, some money will be needed for Dal-lae for a while,

and same goes for my husband with his nomination and all.

I just feel awful doing nothing.

But how can you find a job after so long out of work?

Who's going to look after Eura?

It's not going to be a company.

Just some translation work from home.

I can do them before bed,

so they won't interfere with anything.

You are okay with that, right?

You will allow it, right?

You sure you are going to transfer under Congressman Park?

Congressman Park won't just let it go.

No worries.

I can take care of myself.

Your right.

With this recorder, the case is closed for good.

Oh, I really should be going.

My wife will get serious if I don't leave now.

Bomi,

You are scared of her eyes that much?

Don't ever turn your back on me and leave.

I can't bear

to be left alone anymore.

I am

a married person.

I even have a child. I have to do a lot of things now.

She's a good woman. My wife.

She's been through so much because of me.

I may not be a great husband.

But I want to try my best.

See you.

How do you feel?

Did I drink that much last night?

I must've done something wrong. Otherwise, you can't be beating that fish so hard.

It's not you.

It's that cranky husband of mine who had a craving for this.

He couldn't bear to tell me it was for his own sister's hangover.

He's been nagging me for keeping this pollack in the freezer forever.

Did I do something rude to him last night?

Not at all. You were right with everything you said.

Next year, when Kashi's birthday comes around, don't bring sashimi or anything.

Let's just get a bunch of pollacks and beat them good in front of your brother.

Then maybe his conscience will feel something.

That actually sounds fine to me.

We're having pollack soup for breakfast?

Are we like Hindus or something?

I can't put my finger on the last time we had beef.

Other sons in the families are up to their throat eating beef-bone soup, chueotang, and all sorts of health foods.

Well, from what I hear,

Other sons seem to be bringing money to their parents, sending them herbs and everything.

Just hold it!

You will soon be thanking God for my presence.

When a son is born,

there at least should be a money counting machine in the house.

Or have an ATM in the bedroom.

You crazy kid.

Are you really my son?

He sure is, with all that nerve.

What did you say?

Ouch, that hurts!

What the..

Let's not make this complicated.

Hand me the voice recorder.

I already told you I turned it in at a press.

You sure?

Then, I guess we have no other option.

I never lose out alone.

This case was all up to Deputy Hwang from the get-go.

When I'm in, she's also in.

Excuse me?

I know you were with her all night last night.

If you are so worried about her,

why don't you just get rid of the recorder

and wipe your hands off of this?

Just sleep on it.

Hey,

there is a picture that I got with great effort.

Would you like a glance?

It could destroy everything when a politician with family is mired into this sort of affair.

You have one day.

You better give me all the details.

Why is Mr.Jeong threatening you with this sort of picture?

Well, because..

Did you get into trouble again with that Bomi girl?

Have you lost it?

You are a politician. Are you going to ruin everything because of a woman?

It's not that, Mom.

She's sustained some injury because of me.

She's been driven into a corner by Congressman Jeong because of my fault.

How can I neglect her?

How can you not?

There is nothing between you and her!

She's not dead. She's just had some injury!

So just leave it!

Your wife has been going in and out of her house with porridge,

what if you get caught? You want all the shame in the world?

You don't have to worry about that.

I just stayed with her because she was scared to be alone.

Then what's with this picture?

When they get out there to sabotage you, you are nothing but an easy meat.

You haven't seen enough of politics yet?

Oh honey, you are here.

Oh honey, you are here.

I didn't know you were here, too.

I was just going in. Why are you out?

I was going to take you in for breakfast.

And I haven't seen Dal-lae this morning, is she gone somewhere?

Yes. She went to a dance lesson to loosen it up a bit.

Let's get inside now.

Ah, my eyes are so dry from staying up all night.

That's not good.

You want some massage with aroma oil?

Let's go.

I truly appreciate your care for Mu-roo,

but still, you could use some harshness.

Wives' nagging is what keeps husbands from looking down on them, you know.

He's all caught up with all the work

I'd be crossing my line to start nagging him.

He's already a decent husband without me bossing him around.

Do you realize

how afraid I would be

if I were to lose such sweet daughter-in-law?

You shouldn't be.

You don't know how I thank you.

I guess,

if we keep on supporting each other,

God will watch out for us.

I'll let you go now.

Okay.

I'll bring out a herb tea for Father soon.

I don't understand why he'd make a mistake like that over her.

You remind me of the color purple, professor.

Cold, but strong, and passionate.

It's my favorite color.

Why don't I have any purple clothes?

Oh, come on.

What's up?

Uh, yeah...

do you happen to have some decent lipstick?

Better if it's purple.

Wow, mom,

I thought you hated putting makeup on.

I have an important meeting to go to.

Now that I'm old,

I look much too pale without any makeup on.

I think I've saying that for the past ten years or so.

I wonder if I do have purple.

Try this on.

Uh... isn't this a little too strong?

The color looks too unnatural.

Not at all. That's actually a genteel shade.

I think it looks good on you.

Really? Does it look alright?

Umm..

Do you happen to have a purple jacket?

Or a skirt, that'll do.

Are you going to a carnival or something?

Why do you keep asking for purple?

You don't like flashy colors.

Whatever. If you don't have anything purple, that's fine; quit nagging me.

It's fine. I don't need to wear something purple.

Give me that.

Hey! Wait a second.

You're always in a rush like that, jumping to conclusions aren't you?

Who is it?

What do you want? No, how did you know I live here?

Wherever you are,

I can find you without any trouble.

Would you like something to drink? If morning coffee is a bit too strong, would you like some herb tea?

Do you think I'm in the mood to be having a cup of tea with a worthless thing like you?

I'll get to the point.

Get away from Muh Roo.

He's right on track to be a congressman soon.

He can't screw up again just because of you.

Weren't you the one who created the mess in the first place, mother?

How dare you refer to me as your mother?

No matter how much you've developed, don't think I consider you as a worthy human being.

Not even fully grown up

you seduce a guy into running away from home. Does that sound right to you?

Did I leave home by myself?

We ran away together-- your son and I.

We left home and got a room together.

Shut up!

What do you have against our family?

You seduce a warm, kind-hearted boy in my son and shock everybody in the family

and now you plan on ruining my son's political career? Is that it?

Oh, that sounds intriguing in itself.

Just like you got me expelled from high school by creating an uproar in the principal's office

should I try my hand at messing things around and get some revenge?

Oh, by the way, Muh Roo left this here last night.

He must have taken it off while cleaning the house

Should I give it to your daughter-in-law in person?

You brat!

Don't even think about messing with my daughter-in-law.

Unlike you, she's a very respectable person.

If you create any dilemmas for our family,

I'll make sure that you never see the sun in your life again.

It's got to be that way, huh?

Is that it?

If that's how you want it, I have no choice but to oblige.

I'm no longer the girl

who backs down and shies away from fear any more.

Here's your pay for the translation.

I think you need it, so I'm paying you in advance.

Thanks

I'll do my best.

You graduated first on the list with an English major

and you have a translating license.

There aren't many people on the market with your skills.

Oh come on; it's been so long since I've graduated.

I'm actually worried since I haven't been on the job for such a long time.

So why didn't you stay on the job?

Even if your husband does become a congressman with your assistance as a wife,

living in another person's shadow is no easy thing.

Well, there's always someone out in front doing the stuff that shows up

and there's always someone backing them up doing things that don't necessarily get recognized.

I'll be satisfied with my husband becoming a good congressman.

Anyway, where do you get all the funding to become a congressman?

Is it going to be possible for your husband to proceed in politics without getting any help from corporations?

Oh, these days, rather than those kinds of illegal funds,

politicians rely on civillian donors.

The amount each person donates isn't all that large, but more and more people have become able to participate through the internet and wireless networks.

Oh, okay. I hope your husband does well with his clean campaign and hopefully he receives a lot of support.

If someone like you came out for politics, I would vote for you for sure.

Didn't you say you were busy? Go on.

Yes.

Thank you.

Yes?

You're here today?

These are the sophomore reports.

My office...

did you clean it up and reorganize it?

The coffee and flowers... did you do all of this?

Yes, I did. Your desk looked much too messy.

Do you like the flowers?

I didn't know what type of flowers you like

so I picked some out on my own.

Why'd you do all of this when I didn't even tell you to?

I don't like other people handling my belongings.

I mean, if you organize everything like this on your own

how am I supposed to find what I need?

If you can't find anything, feel free to ask me.

Your teaching material is on the book shelf,

the notices from the department are in front of the computer,

and I've sorted the students' reports by their grade levels and placed them right here.

T.A. Lee! This is my office.

It might look like everything's simply in disarray,

but there actually is a kind of order within the mass.

Don't ever do something like this again.

And take those flowers back.

I don't like roses.

Come on, what kind of woman doesn't like flowers?

Just leave them here and look at them from time to time.

Professor, you're a woman also.

Oh, right. I'm going to the TV station now

so go upstairs and get me Dal Rae's clothes.

I'm going to go ahead and change.

Yes, mother.

Oh, mother, by the way...

Take this.

Use this money for any expenses that need to be covered for sister-in-law's first drama as the lead role.

I received my payment in advance for translating.

Oh, really? Why, thank you.

Oh, I'm sure you'll need money too.

If Dal Rae succeeds,

I'll pay you back a hundred times the amount with interest.

Oh, there's no need for you to feel any burden.

If she succeeds, she'll be of great help to Muh Roo.

This is really like a light at the end of a dark tunnel.

I have to meet up with reporters and dine with the directors and producers, but I didn't have the money until now.

Oh, yeah!

I'll tell Muh Roo. You go ahead with him to your parents' house for dinner.

They haven't seen Yoo Ra for ages, right?

Is that alright with you?

Please, why do you keep asking when there's nothing's to question?

If someone else heard us, they would think that I don't even give you the freedom to visit your parents.

Don't worry about the house and take a nice break.

Okay, then I'll prepare dinner and head off tonight.

Thank you mother!

How do I look Dad?

Wow!

My daugther is the prettiest!

Today's the first script reading

and she's wearing those pitiful clothes over the nice, expensive ones. My lord!

Everyone's going to be all dressed up...

This is just not befitting of the main character!

Please, our Dal Rae's figure makes her look pretty no matter what she wears.

Plus, all an actress has to do is act well

not wear good clothes.

Excuse me, but clothes are another essential part to the actress

Don't you know how large of a role clothes play in making an actresses's image?

An actress just isn't doing her job if she doesn't fascinate the public.

Getin the car.

What are you doing?

Get in the front. Since when does the coordinator ride in the back?

Do I have to tell you every little thing?

If I'm caught,

Hwang Bo Mi is a goner too.

If you're worried about her,

destroy the recorder

and lay off of this incident.

What'd you do? Did you hand the recorder over?

You get rid of it yourself.

Don't do anything you're going to regret later on.

Even if you were to hand this over to Congressman Park,

I won't hold any grudges against you.

How could I possibly push you off into a disastrous position again?

Not once, but twice?!

I can't do this just to become a congressman.

I can't leave you in such a position.

Muh Roo

Even if

I'm forced to leave Congressman Park's office,

I'm not going to use you for my survival.

It's against my dignity as a man.

Okay, then.

We're in the same boat now.

Follow me to Congressman Jung.

Let's go and ask for his promise to nominate you as a candidate for office

and become his aide.

What?

An aide to Congressman Jung?

There's nothing to fear.

It doesn't matter what side; it's just the end result of becoming a congressman that matters, right?

Assist him while also holding onto his crucial weakness.

Go to Congressman Park right now and tell him you're resigning.

How could I possibly betray Congressman Park?

And what about all the hard work my wife has put in?

If Congressman Park acknowledged your wife's contributions,

would you be in such a state?

Forget about everything's that's passed.

I'll make sure that you get a congressman's badge to place on this spot.

I am

a woman who will do anything to get what she wants.

Assistant Shin! You've done a great job!

Forget about any and all unfair treatment from the past.

Sorry, sir

actually

I lost the recorder to Congressman Jung.

What? You lost possession of the recorder?

All of a sudden a group of people started searching through...

I'll take full responsibility and resign my position.

How could you do something like this to me?!

Thank you for your care to this point.

Have some bread while you're reading.

Have some, have some.

What is this a family affair? The whole family's in attendance.

I mean, how did they manage to get a girl with such pitiful acting skills to play the lead role?

If you gain popularity on daily shows and whatnot, does that warrant a lead role? Please!

If her mother's always so oversolicitous like that, she probably did everything behind the curtains.

If she did such an idiotic dance with no shame,

don't you think she would have offered her daughter up?

Close your eyes and ears. Ignore everything they say.

You're going to do great.

Just do as you practiced.

Hello, everyone!

Well, thanks and good luck!

Nice to meet you all!

Nice to meet you!

Today is our first rehearsal

let's do our best and make sure to hit the jackpot!

You all read the script beforehand, right?

Yes!

Of course! I memorized every line.

Then let's get started.

Yes!

You want some coffee? It has a nice aroma to it.

Do you think I'm in the mood to be leisurely drinking coffee with you?

It depends on how you think about it. Nothing in this world has a single owner.

Shut up! Don't say another word!

No... I have something more to say.

Hey, what man after commiting an infidelity...

Shut your mouth!

Where is he?

Tell him to get out here right now! I said right now!

Drink this,

and go take a break in the car. I'll stay here.

I'm going to go somewhere

so once Dal Rae finishes take her to her dance lesson so she can practice the tango.

There's a part in the script where she has to do the tango.

She didn't get any sleep last night!

How can she possibly practice dancing?

Just let her get some rest today.

She's never going to become a top star if she gets all the rest and sleep she wants.

Just do as I say!

Are you planning on having her get sick or something?

She's weak-bodied anyway.

She isn't weak!

If she has the will to succeed,

then the stamina will follow naturally.

One more hard day isn't going to kill her.

Where in the world are you going?

You're Shin Dal Rae's mother, right?

I'm Choi Seung-ho, a top representative at an entertainment agency.

I see. May I help you?

Shin Dal Rae is currently getting her script reading done, right?

I understand that you've had a lot of trouble by yourself without an agency for her.

But if you want to make your daughter into a worldwide top star,

you won't be able to do it on your own.

From now on, if you leave it to us, we will make her into the best actress out there within a year through our comprehensive program.

I'm sorry, but...

I've never thought of putting my Dal Rae into the hands of someone other than myself.

Thank you and goodbye.

Please! Before you go

read this here.

It has our contractual offer for Shin Dal Rae.

Then, we hope to see you soon!

Transportation accommodations,

advertisement contract guarantee,

at least two mini-series per year,

and a signing bonus of three...

three hundred million won?!

Here you are sir.

Yes

you made the right decision.

Even if you were to hand over this petty recorder,

what would foolish Congressman Park provide you with?

Tomorrow, hold a press conference

and make it clear first that your donations to the welfare organization didn't show up on your private assets account.

That's the only way reporters won't suspect you.

Ah, yes

a press conference

I would expect nothing less from you Hwang Bo Mi.

We trust you sir, but

I think the deal should be firmly put in place.

Please give us your word that Assistant Shin Muh Roo will be able to receive a nomination for the next election.

I will sacrifice my life for and I will do whatever it takes to do my job.

Please believe in me once.

So, you received an ovation from the staff?

I was always so nervous during the first script readings,

but it was fun today!

I felt comfortable reading my lines.

You did great!

You've found the right part for you.

Don't feel too much of a burden,

and act comfortably.

Dad, can you keep it a secret to mom, and give me the day off today?

I just want to randomly go around all over the place.

It's dangerous on your own.

If you really want to go,

go with me.

I really just want to be by myself today.

I'm twenty-five;

I should be able to roam freely on my own once in a year.

I'll be extra careful,

and I'll come home unscathed.

Please, Dad?

Really? You're the best Dad!

Thanks Dad!

Alright, alright.

Yeah, it's me.

What?

You're lost?

Where are you?

What happened?

Why are you out in Myung-dong by yourself?

Did you clash with your mom again?

Hey, can't you hang out with me for just two hours?

I just got on a taxi and came to Myung-dong,

but I don't know how to get around here.

What?

Are you fooling around with me?

Do you know how worried I was when I heard that an unknowing girl like you were lost?

I was so worried that you'd fought with your mother and just run away from home.

Don't ever call me out for something like this again.

It's working hours right now,

and I'm not some nobody to be freely fooling around with you at the moment.

I got a lead role for the first time,

and I did well for the first script reading so I wanted to tell you all about it.

I wanted to hear your praise.

Do you know how much I thought and hesitated over the idea of calling you?

No, I don't need this. I'm sorry I lied to you.

I'll go home then.

So, what is it that you want to do,

for the two hours together?

Where do you want to go?

I need to know in order to take you there with me.

Well I want to start with the Dongdaemun Shopping Street.

And then I want to go eat at the Tteokbokki place near my school.

Oh, and go to the games room to play games together!

And I want to go to the clubs that people my age go to.

It's just 9000 won. Just pay cash.

No cash?

Who carries cash when we have credit cards?

Besides you get tax deductions this way.

Sir, your card is not working.

Er, I don't think that's possible.

Maybe it maxed out yesterday at the mall.

Sorry. One moment.

Secretary Kang, it's me.

What's wrong with my credit card, huh?

What?

My father?

Fine.

What is it?

My dad doesn't want me seeing you.

so he suspended all of my credit cards.

Seriously, this is too much. I think he's going over my limit.

He keeps pressuring me to meet President Park's daughter who's studying abroad.

But I can't do what he wants me to do. I just can't do that to you.

Really...

Was it really because of me that you didn't go on the blind date?

You know what?

I'm going to pay from now on. Don't worry about the money, okay?

Let's go eat some meat.

Now now, the pretty pieces are yours.

Mine are the ugly pieces.

Didn't you say you're sick of steak? How come you're eating like a pig?

You don't know? You can only appreciate meat when you're used to it.

The store is shabby,

but the meat is good.

Hey, you should eat too.

Try the mushroom juice over there.

Miss,

please bring us extra 3 orders of rib eye beef.

They have nice, soft steak here.

Enjoy, Reporter Choi!

Ye-yes, this stuff is good.

By the way, Dalrae sure is becoming a beauty thesedays.

I've been seeing her since her childhood. I never thought she'd grow so fast.

Now no one can doubt that she's a woman.

It's all to your help.

Without your hand, Dalrae and I woudn't have made it in this field.

Oh, and did you hear that Dalrae got the part for the main character?

I'm just so worried about her.

She doesn't sleep, all she does is practice!

Yesterday she was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night.

Well, this could make a piece in the newspaper tomorrow.

"Dalrae Shin was sent to the hospital due to intense preparation for her next piece.

She will not settle until she performs brilliantly."How's that for an article?

Oh my god!

Oh gee! I grumbled on about what my daughter is suffering,

and you're thinking of turning it into a news piece!

No wonder you're a pro!

Please, eat!

Oh yes, thank you.

Mo Ru

You quit your job?

Are you crazy?

What can I do? I had to save Bomi.

Bomi, Bomi, Bomi...

What makes her so important that you're doing this to your life?

It's not as if she has your child.

nor are you guys married.

Why do you have to go so far as to quit your job, huh?

Stop blaming her for everything!

I don't have any feelings for her whatsoever.

Do you think Congressman Park is going to let you off so easily?

It sure is hard to support you all this time,

but destroying you is easy - done in a blink of an eye.

Go to Congressman Park immediately and apologize.

I'll bend down in my knees with you and apologize to him.

It's too late now.

There's only one choice now.

Mom,

can't you just trust me this once? I really feel like I'll make it this time.

Did you tell Shin Young that you handed in your letter of resignation?

Not yet.

Although it may seem like Shin Young might've just cooked and done the house chores,

but she's the one who helped you get to where you are right now.

She is smart and wise enough to stand you up at the center of the world.

The moment you let her down,

you're letting go of your aim as a Congressman, let alone anything powerful.

Stop saying those things!

I'm sick and tired of people saying that it's because of my wife that I became a congressman's aide.

Just wait and see.

Even without her help,

I will get a congressman's badge on my own!

Where do you think you're going? I'm not done talking.

I need to go meet your favorite daughter in law.

Why did you have to make me go to her family today?

I'm already stressed out enough.

That evil wench...

I thought she understood what I had told her.

You look great.

The stripes make you look younger, and more reliable.

Yoora, look at daddy! Isn't he handsome?

Yeah! Daddy looks like a movie star!

You were always complaining about money

and what's this all about?

Is it because you want to show off to your family?

I got my pay today.

I wanted to buy you a suit and get Yoora a dress with that money.

By the way,

I think Congressman Park ran out of Ginseng.

Should we send some over?

Definitely not!

We don't even have Ginseng at our home, why care about theirs?

And just so you know, stop going to their house.

You're not their housekeeper.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

I'm no longer...

Nothing. I'll talk to you at home.

What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to pay?

Well, oh..okay.

I said I'm fine, I don't need clothes.

Don't worry about me. Let's just buy your stuff.

I got paid for tutoring today.

Your own sister is being generous,

so what's your problem?

Come on, let's go.

Hello.

Who do we have here?

Bae, I heard you're doing well these days.

Glad to meet you.

How are you doing?

Thanks to you my life's been filled with...happenings.

We're not strangers to each other.

Why act so difficult?

You looked up to me when you were young, remember?

I guess being a journalist made me a bad person.

Glad you know.

Long time no see!

I heard you're tutoring So Ra.

She's not the hard-core studying type, but she listens and does what's told.

Please take good care of my sister-in-law.

Yoora, say hello.

Hello.

So you're Yoora!

You look just like your mom, so pretty and all.

Well then, I guess we should be going.

What's wrong with him, got paralyzed in the tongue?

Never says "Hyung" to me, never.

Didn't know that journalists had such pride, heh!

Let's get going. I bet my mom's waiting for us.

What is he saying to us?

Did you hear what he said?

You hungry? Let's go grab something to eat.

Come on!

What?

What are you talking about?

You dropped out of highschool after a big fight.

A random woman called my house and told us.

How can such a person become a Congresswoman?

I won't drag on to this,

but try to be careful.

When someone tries to destroy you,

try to remain humble.

I'll keep that in mind.

I'll be sure to not create a problem.

"I told you

not to touch my son!

Muroo will not be working with you!"

Mrs.Cho, you are making a big mistake.

I'm not going to let it go like this anymore.

Your precious son

is already under my control.

This surely was unexpected!

They could've called beforehand.

Well maybe they were just too busy!

Knowing that my son in law likes sashimi,

we could've bought some! Pity!

I wanted to make Doyoung do it, but seriously, where is he at?

Wait, I forget! What does Yoora like to eat?

We're making enough already, with Japchae here and the steamed eggs boiling there,

you making Jeon(pancake) over there. We certainly have enough!

Just trying all these dishes they're going to have to empty two rice bowls.

Grandpa, Grandma, where are you?

They're here!

My precious baby!

It's been a while since you saw your granny, eh?

Granny missed you!

She's grown quite a lot since the last time I saw her!

What, did you people not see each other for a lifetime?

My son in law is probably tired already. Come in the house.

How've you been? We should've come more often.

Yes, it's been a while.

Last Thanksgiving you guys had to go take care of the graves,

which means you guys haven't come since the last New Years.

We all live in the same city. You guys should care more.

What are you talking about?

He's working for this country, for god's sake!

Once a year is enough.

He shouldn't neglect his work to come here.

Those without talent and good jobs

are the ones coming to visit their wife's family all the time!

What, these days people keep wife's families close!

Plus, our Shin-young is taking care of his parents too.

He should take her out sometimes to give her some rest.

Stop bothering my son in law! I'm sure he's had enough.

Hurry, eat!

My son in law looks tired!

It's nothing. The food looks great. Let's dig in!

Yes, yes indeed.

It's just family dinner mom, you didn't have to make this much.

We're not visitors, you know.

The son in law will always be a visitor!

I still let them catch a brood hen when I visit your mother's family.

I take care of their ugly daughter in her entire life.

I guess I deserve that.

I'm sorry I'm ugly! Heh!

My family should've killed a cow for your dinner, not a chicken.

Delicious?

These are all for you Yoora!

The pumpkins too!

Grandma, it's delicious!

Delicious, eh?

Make sure you chew enough.

"Come home now.

It's urgent."

Did something happen?

Well...um...

I think there is something I have to take care of in the office. Congressman Park is calling me.

Oh, then you should go.

Your jacket's right here.

I feel terrible though, leaving off like this.

Don't worry about this. Go take care of the office.

It's not like we're going to die tomorrow.

Men need to do their work! Don't worry about us!

But can't you finish your meal? Is it that urgent?

No matter how busy you are, don't skip meals!

My husband even took out his best brandy for you!

Mother I'm so sorry...I'll make sure I come back later.

You go home, alright? I'll deal with this and go.

Well, I should be going then.

Still, I don't think this is right.

It's not as if there's no one else in charge.

My sister prepared all this for him.

And he just goes off like that, without even a bite!

I'm so sorry.

He's been needed at work a lot these days.

Yes, Madam, it's me.

Pardon?

Right now...?

What is this?

What happend to this house?

I'm so scared.

Your mother...

I'm so scared it's going to be just like 10 years ago again...

She came by telling me that I'm runing your life...

...called the Congress to fire me...

So,

it's my mother who did this?

What should I do now?

Do I have to run off somewhere like I did back then?

I don't want to!

I don't want to go back to that life again!

Don't worry.

That's never going to happen.

I'm not going to make you pay because of me.

Trust me.

I've been to my mother's.

My mom sends you these dishes.

Here is Congressman Park's favorite, Ganggyung salted shrimp and...

Salted shrimp?

Is this a joke?

Madam.

What's wrong?

I need to know what's the problem.

How dare he quit?

Do you know how much we've sacrificed all these years?

Now you forget all of that

and go work for Congressman Jung?

You and your husband both disgust me.

What?

What are you talking about?

You listen carefully.

I'm going to sue your husband for fraud.

I'm never forgiving you filthy liars

unless you all get in jail!

Am I wrong?

Please!

Please!

Please forgive us!

I'll apologize for the both of us!

I'm sure something went wrong, I'm positive!

My husband would not do such a thing...!

Please, Madam!

Madam

Please be generous for me, if not for my husband.

I'll make sure to change his mind, for whatever it takes!

Please, please Madam!

Madam!

Madam please, don't you remember what we had?

I'll change his mind, I promise!

Please, please Madam!

Please forgive us...

Get out of this house! Now!

I'm calling the cops!
