(Episode 21)
Father. Mother.
I'm so sorry.
I should've come earlier.
I will take accept any reprimand or punishment.
How dare you come here?
I'm sorry.
Have a seat first.
You sit down, too.
Say what you have to say.
I'm sorry.
I should've come earlier
and asked you for permission to date her.
I was the one who convinced Hyeyeong
to move out and live with me.
It's all my fault.
I'm very sorry.
How could you do all that?
I'm sorry.
How will you fix things?
If you give us your blessing,
and if Hyeyeong agrees,
I want to marry her.
Who said you could marry her?
How can we give our precious daughter
to someone as rash and hasty as you?
If you had considered our feelings at all,
you wouldn't have done a foolhardy thing like that.
You convinced her?
Living together might seem like nothing to a man,
but Hyeyeong is a woman.
If you really treasured her,
how could you do such a thing?
Mom... I...
I'm not a little kid anymore.
I wanted it myself, so I chose to do it.
Shut up. Who told you to interrupt?
Yeah. Keep quiet, Hyeyeong.
I'm sorry.
Okay. Now that you know how we feel,
please leave for today.
But father...
I said leave!
Okay.
I'll go for now.
If your anger subsides a bit,
I will come back to formally greet you.
Why would you come back?
We want nothing to do with you.
I apologize again.
I did expect it,
but your parents were very angry.
You fanned the flames.
Why suddenly bring up marriage?
I just planned to atone for my sins,
but your father asked me...
Leave. I have to head in.
My mom was so angry.
Yeah. Head in.
I'll be going.
Go in. Call me.
Okay.
- Bye. / - Bye.
That was a shocker.
What? Marriage?
Oh, I'm dead meat.
Oh, I'm taken aback.
He coaxed her into it?
So she just falls for it and takes his side?
Good job.
If you hadn't gotten so angry,
I would've gotten much angrier.
I couldn't say even 10% of what I wanted to.
I was just getting started,
and you told him to get up and leave.
I was so mad, I didn't want to sit and look at him.
You should've let me cuss him out.
You must be in shock.
He didn't tell me he was coming.
I didn't know he would come.
Surprised? Over this?
It's just that our most trusted daughter lied to us
and was living with a man behind our backs.
And how dare that jerk come here?
How did you treat him,
that he just waltzes in here fearlessly?
How am I supposed to respond to that?
What?
He said he had to come.
He wanted to apologize no matter what.
So what do you think?
Are you going to marry him?
I'll think about it.
I've never thought about marriage.
You were living with him,
but you never thought about marriage?
Yes. I never thought of it.
Yet you moved in with him?
I'll think about it starting now.
Okay. Think about it.
Okay.
Go.
Okay!
Is she our daughter?
How dare she hold her head up high?
Wow.
What are you doing?
Sit down.
Are you going to marry that producer?
You heard it all already.
I'd never thought about it, but now I am.
How could you have never thought about it?
Just let it all out.
You're not thinking of never getting married, right?
Tell us. I'm dying of curiosity.
Don't tell mom.
I have no plans to get married.
Why?
Yeah, why?
Aren't you living with him because you like him?
I do like him.
But I don't want to get married.
If you like him, why not get married?
Don't you get married if you like someone?
Marriage is a choice now, not a necessity.
The number of unmarried people is rising.
Then you shouldn't have moved in with him.
You tricked mom and dad and moved in with him.
And now you say you won't get married?
You're an awful daughter.
Yeah, you should've thought of mom and dad.
They thought you'd definitely get married.
I really don't get it.
You like the guy, he has a good job,
he's not bad-looking, and even though you have
a hot temper, he still wants to marry you,
so shouldn't you marry him?
Right. I said I'd think about it.
Seriously, don't tell mom and dad.
Don't tell them.
She's really something,.
She really must never want to marry.
Come have a seat.
Did you break up with her?
No.
Why not?
I clearly told you to break up with her.
I clearly told you I can't break up with her.
Why, you little...
You'll continue being disobedient?
Yes! I'll keep being disobedient this time.
I'll tell you one more time.
I'm going to marry Hyeyeong.
I've said over and over that will never happen.
You can't make a marriage work alone.
Why on earth are you so against it?
Hyeyeong is considered to be
a well-off, hotshot lawyer.
She's everything you'd want in a wife.
So what if she's a lawyer?
The streets are full of lawyers.
And what's this about you rejecting her 8 years ago?
What does that mean?
It's a no, and that's final.
I hated her 8 years ago, too.
Mom!
She doesn't even say hi when she sees me.
Even if we went to the police station that one time,
she should at least greet
the mother of the man she's dating.
I've never seen a wench as rude as her.
You don't even care about me. Goodness.
I said not to talk about her like that, mom.
And back then...
This conversation is over.
She'll become my daughter-in-law
over my dead body!
Break up immediately. Got it?
Why are you just going upstairs?
Answer me!
Break up at once!
Why are you so against it?
Jeonghwan can meet her,
and if they're a good match, they can marry.
I said no.
Like mother, like daughter. It can't happen.
You have to take my side this time.
If you don't side with me, you'll be on your own.
Are you asleep?
If you're not, let's talk.
We know you're not asleep.
Wake up, Hyeyeong.
Turn the lights off. I'm going to sleep.
Hyeyeong.
Why don't you want to get married?
We just don't understand it.
You should think of your parents.
If mom and dad knew that, they'd be super worried.
They'll be even more hurt
than when they found out you moved in with him.
Like Junyeong said, you'd be a bad daughter.
Hyeyeong.
Let's sleep.
She'll think about it, since she said she would.
Lie down. I'll get the light.
Okay. One second.
Come to the roof right now. (Mr. An)
What's wrong? It's late.
I know it's late.
But you're always in a flock with them,
so I was waiting here.
- Have a seat. / - Okay.
Have things been so combative at home
on account of Hyeyeong?
Since she moved in with Jeonghwan?
You noticed? Yes.
But why is that a problem?
They're both single.
And they're both adults.
This is Korea, not the United States.
A lot of people still view living together negatively.
And the bigger problem
is that Hyeyeong tricked our parents.
She said she'd live with a friend,
but she moved in with Jeonghwan.
So my parents feel disappointed and betrayed.
Our parents were always most proud of Hyeyeong,
and they trusted her the most.
She was the apple of mom's eye.
Dad must feel like he's been stabbed in the back.
Wow, this is a conundrum.
Quite the conundrum.
But I understand.
That's a relief. That you understand.
I was so frustrated that nobody told me.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I was considering telling you,
but it was about Hyeyeong's private life...
I got it. Don't worry. I understand.
Final question.
What should I do at times like this?
Should I play dumb and do nothing?
Um...
It'd be better to do something.
How about you buy us some porridge?
Porridge?
My mom and dad haven't eaten in 2 days.
I think they'll eat if you buy food for them.
Well? You'll get brownie points with the family.
It's a win-win situation.
Porridge?
Porridge sounds good. Deal.
I know. Deal!
What should I make for breakfast?
They probably won't be hungry.
Mom loves sesame seed porridge.
Junyeong, no need to make breakfast.
What is that?
Porridge. Junghui bought it.
Help us set the table. I'll get mom and dad.
Move aside.
It'll be good.
You shouldn't have.
Right.
It must've been a pain, so early in the morning.
Since you haven't been eating lately,
I got special abalone porridge.
And since you like blueberry cheesecake,
I put some in the fridge.
Sweets always cure a bad mood.
You shouldn't have.
Thank you.
Yeah. Thanks.
Let's have a porridge feast today!
Let's eat.
Thank you.
It's good.
Delicious.
Maybe it's since it's specialty, but it's delicious.
Hmph! When did they get so close?
Miyeong should've told me
if she was going to buy something.
I make great porridge.
What are you, a bodyguard?
Hey! More!
- An Junghui is on the move. / - That's right.
- Please embark. / - Okay.
What the...
I missed the fly.
I need to get it.
Ma'am.
What's wrong? Are you injured?
No, I'm fine.
- On your way to work? / - Yes.
Ah... Get going then.
Sure.
Get in.
Hey, Judo.
Don't drive so close to the wheel.
- Relax. / - Okay.
Right. Stay close.
Closer. Closer.
Sorry.
Ah... It's fine. Go.
Okay.
Sorry. Are you okay?
I said I'd press lightly.
It seemed so.
I'm not fine. But I'll get better. Hurry and go.
Yes.
Hold on. I think my brain is shaking.
Judo. Will my head break open?
- Get out. / - Huh?
What am I doing?
The actor is driving the manager.
I'm sorry.
I'll practice more.
You'd better do that.
Thank you.
How are your parents doing?
Uh...
A bit better.
We ate breakfast together today.
That's a relief.
Hyeyeong.
Let's get married.
I meant it yesterday.
I want to marry you.
I don't plan to get married.
Of course you haven't thought about it.
We haven't been dating long.
But Jeonghwan, isn't the system of marriage
a bit old-fashioned when you're 40?
But people nowadays are living until age 100,
and even age 120 in the future.
Isn't it a bit cruel to only love one person
for your entire life?
Especially in Korea, for women,
marriage is very unfair.
Becoming a daughter-in-law in Korea is like
being an untouchable in the Indian caste system.
And the marriage I want
is not provided to me by society.
I'm not kidding.
Neither am I.
Why do you want to get married?
We've been so happy together.
Let's just keep dating like this.
Until when?
Jeonghwan.
I'm not a woman meant for marriage.
I don't have the confidence or will
to carry out the duties that come with marriage.
To sum up, rather than living as
someone's wife, daughter-in-law, or mother,
I'd prefer to live
just as myself, for my own sake.
You don't want to be my wife?
That's not all that marriage is about.
I want to work on self-improvement
and see plays after work to relax.
I don't want to do housework.
Then see plays and improve yourself.
Housework? I'll do a lot.
I don't want to feel guilty
and blame myself for being bad at housework.
There's no need for a woman
to think she must be good at housework.
I don't want to be tied down as a daughter-in-law
during holidays and other gatherings.
I'll do all of that.
You won't lift a finger.
And marriage doesn't just work
because two people want it to.
In Korea, marriage is a union between two families.
Do you think your mom will like me?
I'll do my best to convince my parents.
Because of that time at the police station,
I know you want to avoid my mother. I understand.
But that's not all my mother is about.
If it bothers you, I'll do anything to convince...
I don't want to get married, Jeonghwan.
I've never thought of getting married.
Is it that you don't want to marry,
or that you don't want to marry me?
So why do you want to marry me?
Because I love you.
I want to spend my future with you.
Is marriage the only way to accomplish that?
Marriage can become the end of love.
There are so many people who get divorced,
even though they got married out of love.
I don't want to hear generalizations like that.
I'll ask you again.
Is it that you don't want to marry,
or that you don't want to marry me?
- Both. / - Why?
I thought that your moving in with me
would eventually lead to marriage.
We're not young.
And we're not dating for the first time.
I thought you felt the same way.
Wasn't it all to live together,
learn more about each other,
and see if we're right for each other?
But you weren't planning on that?
So you never had any intention of marrying?
Exactly.
Yes. I had no intention of marrying.
Then why didn't you tell me that?
You didn't ask.
Hyeyeong!
Okay. I'm sorry.
For not being clear.
But I have no intention whatsoever of getting married.
Okay.
I got it. I understand.
I'm sorry. I'll get going.
Where did you go?
You weren't with her, were you?
Don't drag things along. Just end it.
That brat.
You don't listen to a word I say now?
This one...
I looked at this one earlier. What do you think?
I'm not sure.
Is this one good?
You can use this one while standing up.
It'll be hard to bend down when I get bigger.
Oh, this is great.
What do you think, Junyeong?
I like it if you like it.
We'll have a lot of laundry with such a big family.
Doing it all at once will be so comfortable.
- Let's buy this. / - Sure thing.
This is for our school friends.
And these are for the workplace.
I'm a bit worried now that I'm thinking about
giving out wedding invitations at work.
Why?
Married women with no kids yet are hated at work.
After I give birth,
I'll get maternity leave and time off for childcare,
so there's one less person to do work.
I'll be the first to get dismissed.
You're a great manager. That wouldn't happen.
Who knows? Countless married women have been fired,
and it wasn't because they were lacking in skills.
I'm so worried.
So Junyeong,
you have to pass your test.
I know.
By the way, Yuju...
Shouldn't I go to your parents' grave
and pay my respects to them?
I think that's my duty.
Junyeong, actually...
My parents are alive.
What? Then...
They divorced when I was young and both remarried,
and we haven't been in contact since.
I would contact them a few times a year,
but they didn't welcome it and didn't care.
They won't come even if I say I'm getting married.
They'll just worry it'll be a financial burden.
That's all they care about.
I didn't want to contact them for fear I'd get hurt.
I see.
You should've told me earlier.
Sorry. Am I a bad person?
No, I understand how you feel.
You must've had such a hard time, Yuju.
Yuju.
I want to be your father, your big brother,
and your husband, and do everything for you.
Thank you, Junyeong.
Uncle, you're off work early.
You're here.
- Want a drink? / - Sure.
Uncle.
There are a lot of different parents in this world.
Why are you suddenly bringing that up?
It just occurred to me.
I want to be a great parent like mom and dad.
Will I be able to?
Good parents...
That's not an easy thing to be.
Nowadays, good parents must be financially well-off.
I've already screwed up.
Try your best.
Don't be like that.
No dad works harder than you.
The world isn't giving me a chance to be the best.
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
Well...
After your marriage,
I think I'll have to say bye to the photo studio.
The photo studio has closed.
I haven't told my family, since they'd worry.
Uncle...
Do well and don't end up like me, kid.
Drink up.
Do you have any ramen?
Nope.
Have some snacks.
How can I see Coach Park?
I'll avoid him just for today.
I'll die of embarrassment if I go today.
Hello.
Have some of this.
- Hello. / - Hello.
Want to get lunch, baby?
Enjoy your meal.
Eat with us.
We don't know who might misunderstand us
if we eat by ourselves.
No, I just ate, so...
I just saw you leave without eating.
Don't be nervous, and just eat.
How can I not be nervous?
You're even making fun of me.
You two acted suspicious, though.
You guys were giving each other rings,
and then hugging while looking all emotional.
Anyone would think something was going on.
We are a bit overly affectionate.
Let go. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.
Aren't you making fun of me?
Ms. Byeon.
You are pretty cute.
Anyway, I apologize to both of you.
Especially you, Coach Park.
I said let's be friends. You should've stopped me.
Why would you become friends with Cheolsu
and not with me?
It's because I thought there was something
going on between you guys. But now..
What about now?
I mean... That's the situation.
If you don't want to be friends,
how about a boyfriend?
Let's be just friends.
Rayeong.
I need to go to class.
Yeongil, follow me.
So you want only me to get an outfit tailored?
But not you?
I'm going to rent my clothes.
Then just forget it.
I'll rent mine, too.
I'm not the one getting married.
Why would I need new clothes?
Just get measured.
It's because I want to buy you a pretty hanbok.
If you say so.
What about me?
Should I wear a hanbok, too?
You can rent one with me.
Okay... Sure.
But Hyeyeong will get married soon, too.
So if I buy one, I can wear it over and over.
That sounds right.
Hyeyeong will get married soon, too.
No, it's not for sure.
I heard that guy living with Hyeyeong
is the son of that weird landlord.
- Yeah. / - Oh, my word.
Then you are becoming family
with that weirdo?
I said nothing is decided yet.
In fact, I don't want to her to be
- part of my family at all. / - You don't?
But they're living together already,
so they kind of need to get married.
I see you're a bit conservative, despite your youth.
I don't see it that way.
Living together doesn't necessarily mean
they must get married nowadays.
Moreover, I heard lots of young people now
live together without getting criticized.
Mother, let's choose your hanbok.
Which one do you think I should get?
Turn that frown upside down.
Over here.
You started drinking without me?
What's going on?
Jeonghwan proposed to me.
We got caught living together.
What did you say?
I said no.
So he's mad at me right now.
Why don't you think it over?
He's a great person to marry.
Marriage isn't all bad.
There are more positives than you'd think.
Yeah, when I think of him,
I think he'd make a great partner.
But...
But I'd have to wait until our next life.
Huh?
It's because of his mom.
What do you mean?
I met his mother 8 years ago.
She regarded me as some kind of low-class tramp.
She told me to leave him.
Saying he should meet someone of his social class.
That happened back then?
He paid my tuition once.
But I didn't get paid for my part-time job,
so I found out after the fact,
and I got mad at him and paid him back immediately.
But on the day his mom came to meet me,
she said, "I see that your parents
can't even afford to pay your tuition."
I knew what she meant by the fire in her eyes.
So that's why you two broke up?
She really went overboard.
But why didn't you tell Jeonghwan?
Shouldn't he have known?
It was because of my pride.
Now I have confidence in myself,
so I can't talk about it.
But 8 years ago,
I didn't want to mention it at all.
I felt like I was just a little insect.
And that was being considerate to Jeonghwan, too.
I can just pretend I didn't step in dog poop,
but he can't. And it's his parents.
Unbelievable.
Are you really Hyeyeong?
Were you always so noble?
I'm a low-class dragon.
But even low-class dragons are dragons.
Ever see a dragon helping someone else out?
If you get married,
you must take care of your kids and husband.
Your drunken habits haven't changed.
I said I didn't plan on marriage,
and my siblings said I was a bad daughter.
Why is that being a bad daughter?
Staying beside my parents and putting them first
is what a good daughter does.
Girl, you were born in the wrong place.
You should've been born in a foreign country.
Or born in the future.
This is so unfair.
Why get mad at me over that, Jeonghwan?
He didn't even ask me if I wanted to get married.
He didn't ask me.
Was it so bad for me not to tell him?
Yes. You were wrong.
You should've told him from the start.
Well, he shouldn't have been born
to a mother like that.
Was I born in Korea with some kind of
historical duty to get married?
Now that I'm over 30 years old,
nobody asks what my dream is.
They only ask when I'm getting married!
Ugh!
Mom, before Yuju comes over,
I think we have to sort out sleeping arrangements.
Oh my goodness, I forgot.
Junghui.
Yes?
I'm sorry,
but can you move into Junyeong's room?
Isn't it on the roof?
Yes.
It'll be hard for Yuju to climb the stairs.
And we can't make a woman live on the roof.
Yes, I understand.
Okay. I'll move.
Thank you.
I also have something to say.
How about having a plan for using the bathroom?
With scheduled times.
- Scheduled times? / - Yes.
With one more person moving in...
I told you earlier,
but I'm not like this with other issues.
But I'm so sensitive about the bathroom.
I'll give you full usage in the morning
so I don't interrupt you all getting to work,
so at other times, if I'm using it,
please don't even knock.
How will we know you're in there?
Huh? That's easy to find out.
We can just put our name tags
on the door when we're in the bathroom.
And I mentioned this before,
but I have great difficulty using the bathroom
because of all the knocking.
From the perspective of me in there...
I know that we're eating right now,
but I keep getting hindered from doing my business.
Do you poop on a schedule?
We can knock if it's urgent.
But Junyeong, if it's urgent,
you can use another bathroom or the one downstairs.
Since it still makes Junyeong uncomfortable.
That's right.
Let's do that. It's not like it's in the morning.
Are you all fine with that?
- Yes. / - Yes.
And one more thing.
How about we wear slippers indoors?
Because of the sound of people going to the bathroom
at night, I can't get a wink of sleep.
It must be since he lived alone for so long.
Let's do that. Let's all wear slippers from now on.
I'll get the slippers.
You don't have to.
Okay.
Oh, and Rayeong, you didn't pay your monthly rent.
Monthly rent?
Then I'll pay it, too.
No, you don't have to.
No, I should. I live here, too.
It's reverse discrimination if I don't pay.
Okay then. We'll accept it with thanks.
Okay.
Junghui, you need to eat a bit faster.
This is the first day of filming,
so we should leave earlier than normal.
Is today finally the first shoot?
Yes!
We're here.
Can I get some coffee?
Quince tea is better for your throat than caffeine,
and it makes you less jittery as well.
Put ice in it next time.
It's hot.
Yes.
A lot. A lot!
Please let us hit it big!
- Hello. / - Hello.
Excuse me... Hyeyeong...
Oh! How are you, Jeonghwan?
Oh, yeah. You're not doing well.
Junghui, you need to go prepare for the shoot.
Yeah. Let's go.
Hold on.
The second eldest is doing fine.
In case you were worried.
I know.
Don't screw up your first shoot. Get prepared.
Okay, starting the shoot.
Okay.
Junghui, don't be nervous, and act natural.
You can hit me hard.
Nervous? You've got to be kidding me.
I'm not nervous at all.
I worry I'll leave a mark if I hit you too hard.
That's my worry.
Okay, let's go.
Watch me go.
Ready...
Action!
You actually...
Cut!
Junghui, calm down a bit.
You're walking like a robot.
Sorry. I'll go again.
I'm sorry.
Let's go again.
Ready, action!
- You... / - Cut!
Come on, Junghui.
What's with you?
You've been walking for 35 years.
How can your walk be awkward?
Relax, and let's get this done in one go.
Sorry.
Relax a bit, Junghui.
Actors shouldn't be afraid in front of the camera.
Ready.
Action!
You...
Cut!
Is Junghui's manager here?
Yes, I'm here.
Junghui, drink some water,
and just relax. Then let's go again.
I'm sorry.
Get me water.
Give me the script.
Did you have to betray father?
You know how well he treated you.
(Oh My Boss Scene S#52 Take 13)
(Oh My Boss Scene S#52 Take 14)
(Oh My Boss Scene S#52 Take 15)
- Cut! / - Sorry.
From the top.
Ready... Action!
Cut! No good.
Scene 52, take 36.
Ready... Action!
Did you have to betray father?
You know how well he treated you.
Cut!
Okay. Next scene.
We'll choose from one of those.
Good work.
Aren't you hungry?
You haven't eaten all day.
I'm not hungry. You eat.
I'm going to practice.
I'm not hungry, either.
Shall I read your lines with you?
I guess.
- Here I go. / - Okay.
I think you never tried to find father at all.
Why did you come back?
It's not sudden.
I've been preparing to do it
for around 20 years.
Hold on.
Try to put some emotion into it.
It's not like I turned on a voice recorder.
- Okay. / - Again.
If you wanted to see me, you could've come.
Yeah.
I needed to prepare for that.
I'm really doing the best I can.
Who am I criticizing?
This is so embarrassing.
I was super embarrassed once in the past.
When I did judo.
There was a rival I really wanted to beat.
I went up against them in the final round.
For that match,
I practiced every single day
and did the same moves over 3,000 times.
And?
So in that final round,
as soon as the whistle blew,
I fell down.
I tripped on my own feet after taking two steps.
I was totally sprawled out.
I felt like I couldn't get up at all.
I was so embarrassed.
To make matters worse,
there was an article in the local paper that day.
With a picture of me splayed out like this.
Of course I lost the match.
And I had a mental breakdown.
I couldn't go near the dojo for quite some time.
That really must've been embarrassing.
I felt like dying.
However...
If I'd had a day like this,
I would've thrown the script aside and gotten a drink.
But you came back to practice.
I think you're incredible.
What's the point of practicing like this?
I'm not even improving.
You are!
You suddenly get better at times like this.
That happened to me.
There was one move I practiced like crazy,
but even after a year, I still couldn't do it.
But then one day, it finally clicked.
Like magic.
If you keep trying,
you'll get better without realizing it.
That happened to me,
and I eventually beat that opponent.
Is that so?
Of course.
You practice this hard.
Your acting potential will increase soon.
It might even happen tomorrow.
You laughed.
Hey! I'm going to do it again. Listen.
Thank you.
We're here.
You can let go of the handle now.
Oh, I see.
Huh?
It's dad.
He must've come out to greet you.
Yeah, right.
He did.
He must've been worried about you all day.
He kept texting me.
He should've done that earlier.
He didn't care for 35 years.
You must've worked hard. Have you eaten dinner?
Yes.
I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to head up.
Oh, sure.
I'm back.
Did Junghui do well today?
Yes... He did okay.
I see.
Hurry up. You must be tired.
Okay.
Have a seat.
I thought you looked familiar.
It turns out you're the girl from 8 years ago.
You knew from the moment you saw me
at the police station, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
You're the one who changed my life.
After I broke up with Jeonghwan
on that day 8 years ago,
I studied like crazy and became a lawyer.
So shouldn't you be thankful towards me?
Rather than being so rude and spiteful?
You're meeting my son again,
so how could you treat me that way?
At the police station.
And when you came to see me at the cafe before.
That was an issue with my mother
and had nothing to do with Jeonghwan.
But if you had been courteous first,
I would've been courteous as well.
Fine. No need to drag things out.
Break up with my Jeonghwan.
I didn't like you then, and I don't like you now.
Do you have nothing to say?
Are you saying you can't do that?
Yes.
I'm not the same person I was 8 years ago.
No matter what my choice is,
I'll decide after discussing it with Jeonghwan.
Oh, I have a trial to get to.
I'll get going.
My neck...
That awful brat.
Why does he have such awful taste in women?
Cha Jeonghwan!
Will you continue to treat your mother like this?
You'll keep being rude to me
for that good-for-nothing little hussy?
She's Byeon Hyeyeong.
What?
Don't call her a hussy. She doesn't deserve that.
Why, you little...
You've gone completely insane.
Do you even know what kind of girl she is?
She came to my cafe and threatened me!
She said the building had an illegal extension.
How can I make a brat like her my daughter-in-law?
How has she changed so much?
At least she was obedient 8 years ago.
She used to be so well-tempered.
Now she just spits venom when she speaks.
She's so crass, I don't want to speak of her.
8 years ago?
What do you mean?
Did you meet her 8 years ago?
Yes, I did.
What did you do when you met her?
Did you tell her to break up with me?
Yes. I told her to break up with you.
Why?
Why would you tell her to do that?
Did you think I'd sit back and allow
a girl like that to ruin my son's life?
Didn't she take your tuition money and bleed you dry?
Mom!
Brat! Don't raise your voice at me!
How could you?
You met Hyeyeong and said that to her face?
What's all this noise?
Did you really do that?
Did you give her an envelope of money, too?
Money? Who do you think I am?
I think you're exactly who you seem to be.
I'm ashamed that I ever took your side.
So you're saying that we should let
our one and only son meet a low-class girl like that?
It's not the first or second time you disappoint me,
but I'm disappointed all the same.
What exactly did I do wrong?
Hi.
You should've called.
Let's talk.
What happened?
Why didn't you tell me
that you met my mom 8 years ago?
How did you find out?
Did we break up because of her?
It's all in the past.
How is it in the past?
I asked you so many times.
I begged you to tell me why.
So is my mom the reason you don't want to marry me?
The reason you didn't want to marry from the start?
Answer me.
Yes.
Since we're on the topic, I'll just say everything.
It was nice spending time with you.
If it were only you,
I thought that I could marry you.
But your mother,
who'd be my mother-in-law, is the problem.
I get what you mean. I understand.
In that case...
I'll head home.
I'd be ashamed to make you live
with my mother as your mother-in-law.
I'll move out. So marry me.
Then we can get married, right?
No. We can't.
Why? I said I'd move out.
Why are you suddenly talking about that?
How can you abandon your parents to get married?
I refuse to be responsible for breaking up a family.
A man who chooses to be with
a woman like that isn't respectable.
So Jeonghwan,
let's just stop talking about marriage,
and let's keep dating.
Why do you keep talking about that
and making things so difficult?
Things were perfect
before we started talking about marriage.
For how long?
How long can we date?
We'll have no future if we date like this.
Hyeyeong.
Let's break up.
Let's end it.
I'm no lifelong bachelor.
Sorry. Let's break up.
She's such an awful person.
I'll buy everything you're wearing.
I won't go in. Don't worry, and head in there.
I want to go with you.
Jeonghwan broke up with me.
Why did he? Who does he think he is?
- Calm down. / - Why'd he break up with you? Move!
I have no intention of sending my daughter there.
Are you running away from home or something?
Why did you do that?
She's the woman I would stake my whole life on.
