Live Your Own Life (Hyo Shim’s Independent Life / Hyosimine Gakjadosaeng / 효심이네 각자도생)

It's true...

that Advisor Choi was confined to the vacation home...

in Gangwon Province.

During the three years she spent there,

I visited her...

twice a month...

with her prescriptions.

Who locked my grandmother up in the vacation home?

That's...

Ms. Jang.

You mean my aunt?

Yes.

Why?

I'm not sure of that.

It struck me...

as a family matter.

A lot of the time at the vacation home,

I saw the two of them in heated arguments.

But still...

I know.

An inexcusable deed...

was being carried out at that vacation home.

Who else is involved in this matter?

I don't know all the details myself.

However, the people I know who were involved were Ms. Jang,

Ms. Choi's doctor at Taesan Hospital,

and Senior Managing Director Yeom.

Then,

how did...

my grandmother pass away?

I don't know exactly what happened.

It happened after I quit.

My guess is that...

something happened to Ms. Choi...

when she tried to escape.

That's what I've been thinking.

What the... What's going on?

Tae Ho, my gosh.

Why did you drink yourself into oblivion?

Is something up?

What is it? What had you...

Tae Ho?

Is this how it's going to be?

I thought I made myself clear.

That you'd never have me even after we married.

Is that why you didn't even touch me on our honeymoon?

Be satisfied with the marriage you had desired.

How is this a married couple?

It was as if we had taken separate trips.

End it now if it's just to humiliate me.

It is...

not my intention to humiliate you, Ms. Choi.

"Ms. Choi?"

I'm your wife, darn it.

We said our vows in front of our guests,

and our marriage has been legally registered.

I'm aware of that.

But this is how you act?

Is this your way of getting revenge?

It's because I'm the kind of person who can't hide his emotions.

You're proudly admitting...

that your heart belongs to another despite being married to me.

This isn't why our parents set us up for marriage.

You may have forced me into this marriage,

but that's all you'll wring out of me.

Keep that in mind.

I'm still your wife.

I want you to at least try.

I've already sacrificed so much.

What more do you want to take from me?

Do you hate me that much?

Aren't there any kind of romantic feelings?

Our daughter-in-law lives with us now,

so drink less and get a grip on yourself.

Got it?

Seriously. No wonder you weren't being yourself.

Of course, it came with more nagging.

Just like I said, call for a board meeting...

and have Tae Min promoted to vice chairman.

Got it?

I heard you.

I want nothing more than to...

have Tae Min take over as soon as possible.

No, you can't give him all the power just yet.

Who knows what'll happen?

We still need to hold the reins for now.

Why are you going back and forth?

I'm telling you to wait...

until Tae Ho's out of the picture and Tae Min is finally with child.

Once Tae Ho is in trouble, your mother will show herself.

Even if Tae Min finds out what he has done,

he won't have enough options since he has a child to think about.

And should something bad happen,

Tae Min's in-laws will dig us out of the hole.

Unbelievable.

The next time my mother shows up,

I'll take her with me to move abroad.

You can have it all to yourself.

You, Tae Min, and his child can have a happy life in Korea.

As if your mother would voluntarily move abroad.

What are we supposed to do, then?

Keep your voice down. The kids will hear you.

What on earth are you cooking up?

For now,

call for a board meeting today like I suggested...

and have Tae Min promoted to vice chairman.

Got it?

They should be with child and fast.

I can't believe you're making that your business as well.

Why not be like the king's bedchamber court lady...

and station yourself outside their room...

so that you can stick your nose in their business?

Now that I think about it,

you were born to have been a court maid.

What on earth are you saying?

Father, we should head to work.

Right, of course. I'm coming.

You should hurry out.

- Hurry. - Don't push me.

You can button up while heading out.

Hurry on out there. Go on.

Did you sleep well? I hope you had pleasant dreams.

- Sure. - Yes, I slept well.

I hope you both slept well too.

Of course. After marrying you two,

we slept like babies with the weight off our shoulders.

Right.

Gosh, it's nice to see you two standing as...

husband and wife.

It feels reassuring to see you by his side, Soo Kyung.

Same here.

It sure feels nice to wish you and Tae Min a great day...

along with my daughter-in-law.

That's what I call living the life.

This is how families should be. Right?

All right. Let's get to work before your mom's lecture drags on.

Okay.

Have a nice day.

You did the right thing by retiring.

You married Taesan's Kang Tae Min, not just some ordinary guy.

You should focus on caring for him, right?

Right.

Some young ladies insist on working even after they marry.

I'm so grateful you're not like them, Ms. Choi.

I keep calling you that out of habit.

Sorry.

That's okay. You can call me as you'd like.

How was your honeymoon? Did you enjoy it?

Yes.

You needn't be embarrassed.

You actually have a naive side.

That's what it's like to be married.

Tae Min is on the gruff side,

but if you spend time with him and have a baby,

he'll turn into an ordinary husband when he's home.

All a man wants is, after he spends a long day at work,

to have dinner at home that his wife cooked.

He wants company when he's lonely,

and once he becomes a dad?

He could want for nothing else.

So try to get closer to Tae Min.

Won't he settle down quicker if he becomes a dad?

What with his temperament, he'd be such a doting father.

We can't wait to be grandparents either.

Okay. I understand, Mother.

Are you serious about this?

If we register our marriage,

there will be no turning back.

That is exactly why I'm doing this.

When do they open?

At 9 a.m.

We'll submit this as soon as they open.

I filled all of it in.

Tae Hee, you really won't regret this?

Do you regret marrying me?

No, it's not that I do.

As you know, I have nothing to my name.

The pyramid scheme, selling eggs...

The chicken joint from Ki Chul's dad is the only thing I have.

I like the chicken joint.

I'm going to make a fortune here.

Instead of crying and regretting later...

Don't forget that I have nothing to my name too.

How can you have nothing? You're...

That's enough talking.

Before customers start to come in, let's have a small party...

to celebrate our marriage.

- A party? - Yes.

Cheers.

To our marriage.

Cheers.

Let's eat.

It's sweet and savory.

The perfect post-marriage registration food.

Eating gives me energy. Right?

Tae Hee. This was your idea.

And you wanted to submit the form.

Okay, fine. Now have some chicken.

It's so tasty.

Two, three, four.
