Eun Jae.
I will love only you until the day I die.
(National Health Insurance Corporation Affiliated Hospital)
You are pregnant.

(Episode 1)
Hello, Mother. It's me.
Where are you right now?
You said you'd be quick. What's taking so long?
Having the time of your life?
I'm sorry, Mother. I have a soap-making class.
There are so many soaps at the store.
Why bother making that stuff?
You're particularly skilled at making your poverty obvious.
Is it really so hard to stop being such a lowlife?
I'll be home by 2:00 p.m. at the absolute latest, Mother.
Do you need me to run any errands?
I need cash this afternoon, so get some out on your way home.
Why aren't you answering?
I know your father-in-law gives you pocket money behind my back.
Did you think I wouldn't know?
I'm going to check your account.
So make sure you get the entire balance in cash.
What are you doing out there?
I'm almost done.
I'll be right there. Deal the first hand.
I'm busy. Goodbye.
Darling?
It's me. Where are you right now?
I should be asking you that.
They said you left early when I called home.
Why are you so busy?
I was at my soap-making class today.
You should have learned everything you wanted before you got married.
At this rate, you'll bankrupt me in no time.
You think my money grows on trees?
Are you angry about something?
Why do you sound so agitated?
Of course, I'm agitated.
All women think about is ways to swindle men.
(Obstetrics and gynecology clinic)
Never mind. Don't worry about it.
I'm on my way to the clinic.
You remember our appointment, right?
What darn appointment?
I'm at a construction site for work.
What?
Aren't you on your way to the clinic?
Why would I go to the clinic?
I have too much energy for my own good.
What on earth kind of checkup would I need?
Darling, please do me this favor. Just this once.
They say you need to get tested before we even think of IVF.
It's near the Cheongdam intersection.
- Please come. I'll wait for you. - Cheongdam-dong?
Weren't you going to the Bundang Hospital?
I told you I switched clinics.
It's the Somang OB-GYN Clinic at the Cheongdam intersection.
(OB-GYN Clinic)
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- What is this clinic called? - Somang OB-GYN Clinic.
"Somang OB-GYN?"
What is she playing at?
There are so many clinics.
Why did she have to choose this one?
- Please wait outside. - Okay.
- Quick. Get out here. - What is it?
- Don't ask questions. Just come. - What's going on?
- Why are you rushing me? - Come quickly.
- What is it? - Hurry up.
- Kyo Bin. - Just follow me.
- Come here. - Kyo Bin?
Be quiet.
Listen carefully to what I'm saying.
I need to go deal with some drama at a construction site.
A suspended scaffold fell, and people got hurt. You know?
- It's chaos out there. - Kyo Bin.
What about my surgery?
You're the one getting the surgery.
Tell the doctor you drank cough syrup,
thinking it was a hangover remedy.
All right?
Are you sick of me already?
Keep this up, and I'll have the baby and make this a bigger deal.
What are you saying?
If people in love end up being tied down,
it's the beginning of the end.
Just a moment.
Darn it.
Here. Take it all.
Use that to pay for your treatment.
And eat some loach or ox tail. Whatever nourishing food you want.
I don't even know anymore.
I almost forgot.
You're Ms. Jung's partner, aren't you?
The doctor was waiting for you.
Please, ignore me and move along.
Out of my way.
Oh, my goodness.
(Cheongdam Somang OB-GYN Clinic)
Ms. Jung Eun Young?
You can go on into the operating room now.
Where is your partner?
It's not a dangerous procedure or anything.
Do I really need him here?
Oh, my. Ms. Gu?
- It's nice to see you. - Hello.
Life can be so unfair.
Those who are waiting so patiently aren't blessed with a baby,
while those who don't want one get pregnant.
I'm sure I will get good news soon enough.
I'll make another appointment for you.
Make sure you bring your husband next time.
I'm sorry.
Something urgent must have come up.
Your test results aren't particularly concerning.
So let's be patient.
You said you were pregnant seven years ago,
so that's also promising.
Thank you, Doctor.
You said you lived with your in-laws, right?
Why not consider moving out...
for a change of scenery?
It's best to avoid stressful situations.
Yes!
Yes! More points for me.
She's going to win again.
I got off to such a slow start this morning.
- What is going on? - I'm finally getting somewhere.
- My gosh. - Wait a second.
Just a moment. This means...
Stop, no matter what. Stop.
What are you doing? Count it all up.
Sook, you owe me double, and you owe me triple.
What are you doing? Pay up.
- Goodness. - My goodness.
What on earth is this, anyway?
They say beginner's luck doesn't last.
- Here you go. - Hey.
Everything I won today...
is going right back into your pocket.
- Me too. - Here.
- Right. Goodness. - It's survival of the fittest.
Wait a second.
My hands have been working hard all day.
And this is all I have to show for it?
- Oh, gosh. - Goodness.
I'm jealous.
Why don't you go make us some noodles?
Where is your housekeeper today?
She went to get groceries but isn't back yet.
What about your daughter-in-law? I haven't seen her at all.
Is she at her parents'?
She wouldn't dare with her status.
She feels embarrassed about her ignorance...
and has gone to learn something.
My gosh. Getting her to stop seeming poor is...
going to make us bankrupt.
- Mother, I'm home. - She's here.
You said you'd be back by two.
It's almost sundown now.
How could you come home so late...
and deprive me of my lunch?
Mother, have you not eaten lunch yet?
Where is the housekeeper?
Why are you making it her business to make your mother-in-law's meals?
Do you pay her wages?
Do you think she's here to relieve you of your duties?
I'm sorry, Mother.
I'll make your lunch in no time.
There's no time for a proper meal. Just make some sushi for us.
I need to keep my winning streak going.
That's right. Did you get cash?
Here.
This was all there was?
You siphoned it all off to your family, didn't you?
How is it even possible for you to exist when you don't do anything right?
You come from a poor family and can't even get pregnant.
It's a wonder I haven't already died of frustration.
I would never cheat.
Don't be ridiculous. Hand over my money.
You snuck a look at my hand...
as you were picking up your next card.
I thought you were an honest person, but you're just a cheater.
What did you say? A cheater?
Are you serious?
Regardless of what you say, I could be a national judge if I wanted to be.
What is wrong with you?
- Even the dumbest dogs... - It's me.
Open up.
- Yes, Father. - You think hosting gives you an edge?
This is all null and void!
What kind of tantrum do you call this?
- Are you crazy about money? - Mother.
- You're such a lowlife. - Mother, Father has just come home.
Who cares about Father coming home?
I don't care if my dead father has come back to life.
Mother.
Wait, what did you just say?
Did you say Father has come home?
Ha Jo!
- Hello. - You're home early.
Yes. Have you been out somewhere?
Getting rice cakes at the market.
The housekeeper can get you whatever you want to eat.
What happens if you're running around and get hit by a car?
I'm really good at looking out for cars.
I even raise my hand when I cross the road.
Isn't Ha Neul a good girl?
My gosh.
You never look out for cars.
You chase after all the cars you see, saying they're your brother's car.
The more time I spend with you,
the more likely I am to die of a heart attack.
Please take good care of Ha Neul.
Don't take your eyes off her.
Of course, sir. Don't worry.
Good afternoon, Father.
What brings you home so early?
I had a headache, so I left early. Where's your Mother?
She's in her room entertaining friends.
The older I get, the more I prefer Shin Yun Bok's paintings.
There are many great artists we can explore throughout history,
but Shin Yun Bok's paintings have a certain charm.
You get a sense of life's various emotions.
Don't you think so?
- You're right. - I feel that too.
- Oh, my goodness. - Gosh.
- Good afternoon, sir. - Good afternoon, sir.
Hello.
What brings you home so early, darling?
Are you feeling unwell?
I was a bit tired, so I just came home early.
I told you about my art club meeting today, didn't I?
Maybe I didn't.
Come on. Give me my buy-in back.
That's why I waited so long.
You won a lot today, so you can give some of it back to us.
That was for my son.
I've been saving that money to pay for his wedding.
Gosh. My nose!
- Fine. I'll give it back later. - It hurts.
Why are you so darn dimwitted?
How could you open the door for him then?
Are you trying to get me divorced?
But Father was waiting outside.
You should have come up with an excuse to buy me more time.
You could have said the bell was broken.
Or that the house was being fumigated.
That old man is still so sharp.
He can smell gambling.
You will just be the death of me.
Goodness.
My gosh.
Are you too nice or just stupid?
Timid daughters-in-law are a thing of the past.
What should we do for dinner tonight?
Should we make a refreshing dried pollack soup?
Dinner is your responsibility.
I'm tired as hell from chasing after Ha Neul all day.
I'd rather spend the day out in the fields.
I'm going to take a nap, all right?
Goodness.
My back!
- Oh, my back! - Mother!
- I hurt my back. - Are you all right, Mother?
My gosh. My poor back.
Who spilled soapy water all over the living room?
Who on earth was it?
I did it.
Eun Jae made me soapy water to blow bubbles with.
I told you not to make that crap.
You're out to break my back, aren't you?
Oh, gosh. It hurts.
That's why you should lose weight, Mi In.
You're having trouble getting up because of that pot belly.
What did you say?
My gosh.
What's the point of talking to you?
It's just a waste of breath.
Hurry up, and wipe the floor!
You really are trying to kill me, aren't you?
I'll clean it right away, Mother.
An uncivilized daughter-in-law...
and a retarded sister-in-law.
This household will be the death of me.
Oh, my!
Jeez, my back.
Ha Neul! Darn. My back.
That gaze you send my way
It's drenched in emotion
You and I were both unaware
Of how time passed by
What have you been doing, and where are you?
How have you been?
What do you think, darling?
This is my new outfit. It looks great, doesn't it?
Sparkly clothes are all the same.
Why do you keep buying more?
Are you moonlighting as a traffic light on the streets near Gwanghwamun?
Not all sparkles are made equal.
This is made with the highest quality sequins.
The ladies go wild when the stage lights hit it.
They even pee their pants.
How much did that sparkly jacket cost?
Don't tell me you spent your whole paycheck again.
Your god-like better half is leaving for work.
Why do you sound so twisted?
Artists need to hone their craft.
They can't be all about money.
You only recently blew all that money...
making that tape that no one listens to.
Enough is enough.
Don't you feel bad for Eun Jae?
Why should I feel bad?
She's married to a rich man and living it up.
Do you even know how hard she's working...
to pay that money back?
She's having a hard time as it is.
She doesn't need you leaning on her too.
Her in-laws have so much money...
that they can use cash to make paper planes.
Why should she feel sorry...
about the few pennies I borrowed?
Seven years of marriage and no babies.
Her parents don't have a penny to their name.
Her brother has a second home in a cell.
Of course, she feels uneasy.
She has the traits of a lousy daughter-in-law.
What makes our Eun Jae so lousy?
She's beautiful and kind-hearted.
And her father is a singer.
I might not have any hits.
But I'm the Rain of the late-night scene.
You know Rain, right? You must.
Raindrops keep falling on my head
- Rain. - Stop talking nonsense.
Just take your packed dinner and leave.
What on earth is keeping Kang Jae in his room for so long?
Is he still sleeping?
Hello?
Hello!
May I speak to Ae Ri?
No, wait. Just a moment.
Ae Ri, please.
The Korean girl, Ae Ri. Please.
Don't you know who Ae Ri is, you dimwit?
I want to speak to Ae Ri!
Oh, my gosh. Darn this.
I want to talk to Ae Ri.
Why can't they get that?
It's been over an hour now. What am I even doing?
What do you mean, Ae Ri? Did something happen to Ae Ri?
It's nothing. Don't worry.
Did you lose touch with Ae Ri?
Has Ae Ri found someone else while spending time overseas?
How could you say such a thing?
He's right. Ae Ri wouldn't do that.
Ae Ri's been with Kang Jae since she was ten years old.
No matter how much you like her,
she's been away for no less than five years.
She's been studying in Paris all this time.
She's too good for you now.
What's wrong with managing a nightclub?
You must not know much about love.
Love conquers borders, time,
adultery, and everything in between.
So much is off if you really think about it.
She didn't even call for your father's birthday.
We sent her food every season.
But she hasn't once thanked us.
It's not entirely out of the question when you're busy.
She was sponsored to study abroad.
It can't have been easy for her.
We should have done everything we could to stop her from going.
What are you going to do now?
You've lost your girlfriend on the other side of the world.
Who said Ae Ri found someone else? Did you see it with your own eyes?
I trust Ae Ri no matter what.
I'll bring Ae Ri back here.
I'll do ten laps of the world if I have to.
Darn this.
Goodness.
He said he'd get her back.
Yes?
- I've brought your coffee, sir. - Yes.
Put it over there.
How are you finding the work?
I'm still learning the ropes.
You should take it easy.
It would break my heart to see your pretty face tire out.
You know, office work...
can be made very easy if you set your mind to it.
Excuse me, sir.
If you yell out, "Excuse me, sir." here,
you'll end up unemployed.
If you follow my lead,
you could become Cinderella.
Of course, the ball is in your court.
This isn't right, sir.
- It's totally fine. - Please stop, sir.
What's wrong with you?
It's my father.
Yes, Father. It's me.
Of course, I'm at the office.
What are you doing at your desk right now?
Sorry?
I'm not doing anything.
You said tomorrow was a big day.
You can't be sitting in your office.
Do you think making money is that easy?
I was just on my way out.
I just stopped by to read a few documents.
Listen carefully.
If I hear another rumor about you in the office,
I'll break a golf club over your head.
Get your files and get out of there!
Yes, sir.
Father, this is haengguk tea.
I brewed it because I heard it's good for headaches.
I'll try some of that now. Take a seat there.
Yes, sir.
Has Kyo Bin spent the night out recently?
No, that hasn't happened.
Don't be fooled into thinking you should protect him.
You need to help him become a man.
Are you going to let him be an animal forever?
How could you say that about your child?
Did you just call him an animal?
Why is my baby an animal?
He's an animal if he can't act like a man.
Looking the part isn't enough.
You were the one who ruined him.
Why am I getting the blame for that?
Do you think you can just walk all over me?
You've let him hide behind your back and turned him into a fool!
If he's not smart, he should at least be diligent.
He spends more time messing up than working.
When men choose to mess around,
it's the wife's fault too.
It's not like she's a teacher,
but she tries to discipline her husband.
Who dragged her here by the throat and forced them to marry?
Who took the pills and threatened to kill himself?
Would it kill you to be supportive of your only son?
You're always talking about killing him.
What child would like to work in that environment?
If he doesn't want to work,
he can join you in your gambling circles.
I'm warning you.
If you do that in this house again,
I'll call the police and have you locked up,
and send the divorce papers to your prison.
Get it?
Are you having fun watching me get yelled at?
I'm sure it's more fun than a dolphin show.
You may as well buy a season pass to watch it all the time.
I let you get married because you said you were pregnant.
And then you lost it as soon as you got married.
How do I know you weren't lying about being pregnant?
How did that gangster find out where I lived?
Who is it, Mother?
Listen carefully.
If a strange man comes in, tell him I'm not home.
If you don't want to have my funeral right after your wedding,
do your best to get rid of him. All right?
He's coming. That's him.
Eun Jae. Where's Mi In?
This man is looking for Baek Mi In.
Where is Baek Mi In?
She wasn't answering her phone.
So I came here myself.
Mother isn't home right now. She's gone away.
What are you talking about? I know she's home right now.
If she had fun in her old age,
she should pay up accordingly.
Why are you doing this?
I told you, she's not home. Please, leave.
I'm not here to talk to you.
I'm going to talk to her myself.
Hey! Who are you?
She's pregnant. You can't push her.
Are you ready to die?
What is this?
Darn it!
Gosh!
Aunt, it's too dangerous. Go on inside.
Mi In, are you there?
Don't you remember who I am?
Why are you doing this?
Please, just leave.
Why is this woman so annoying?
What bad luck is this?
Has that jerk left?
Gosh. My heart.
How dare that punk come here?
Don't you dare tell your father-in-law.
I'll kick you out myself if you do.
Keep your mouth shut.
Yes, Mother.
Why are you still sitting there?
Are you playing up that tiny favor or what?
Hurry inside and get dinner ready.
Goodness. You let one bad egg into the house,
and it stinks up the whole place.
My gosh.
How upsetting.
What were you doing for that the happen to the baby?
You should have been careful.
I'm sorry.
We have a housekeeper and plenty of people to do the work.
What hard task could you possibly have performed?
Did your mother call on you to work or something?
It's not that.
I should have been more careful.
It's all my fault.
What are you going to tell my mom and dad?
They only agreed to this marriage because you were pregnant.
This was our first baby.
Darn it.
Eun Jae. It's Ae Ri.
It's been a while.
I'm finally coming to Seoul.
I'm arriving at 5:00 p.m. on November 3.
Don't bother coming to see me.
Don't tell anyone.
I just want to quietly enjoy the experience of coming back to Seoul.
Ae Ri is coming back?
Kang Jae, it's me. Ae Ri is coming back today.
Yes. Today!
Ladies and gentlemen,
our flight will soon be arriving at Incheon International Airport.
Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are now making our final...
- Eun Jae, have you led a happy life? - to Seoul Incheon...
I think your life is about to get very interesting.
Look forward to it.
Mom, I'm ready now.
We can go straight to the airport, right?
Why is your makeup so heavy?
Your lips are too much. Take it off.
You're so rigid for a makeup professional.
Why not let this one slide?
It's too much for welcoming your brother home.
I want to surprise him.
It's been six months already.
Did you miss Gun Woo that much?
You're never this excited to see me after months away.
We usually spend so much time together. It was boring not to have him around.
Don't bother him too much when he gets back.
He lets you get away with everything...
because you're his sister.
But I don't like it.
All right.
Aren't you making any food for Gun Woo's return?
I've already made braised short ribs and spicy fish stew.
You have?
I'm going to make his favorite rolled omelet.
So leave it to me, okay?
I'll be back soon.
My gosh. She's so excited.
(Arrivals)
Gun Woo!
- Have you been well? - Yes.
You got even prettier.
- Do you like my lipstick? - I do.
You look even cooler than I remember.
Hello?
It's Ae Ri.
I'm at Incheon Airport.
What happened five years ago was an accident?
I'm crazy about you.
I felt like I'd die if I didn't see you.
I know it's wrong, but I can't help myself.
You know what kind of man I am.
Why do you like me?
I just love you.
I only want to do what I want to do.
- What do you want to do? - Spend time with Gun Woo.
You made the choice. You were drawn to me.
You're saying you want to start a family with me.
Kang Jae would crash that party and make a scene.
What? Ae Ri is here?
Ae Ri! Shin Ae Ri!
- Be good to Eun Jae. - Does she complain about us?
Living with in-laws isn't all bad.
I like him too now.
He's my home now.
You're always like that.
Why would you make me feel insignificant?
You know exactly how I feel.
Who knows? Maybe she brought a foreign man back with her.
Please, don't rain on my parade.
Eun Jae, why am I so excited...
to see you again?
Mother.
