Sea of the Woman (그 여자의 바다)

Hello, Chungil Flour.

Mr. Kim, this is Soo In's mother.

Hello, Mother.

Right now?

Sure.

I apologize for asking too much of you yesterday.

Please don't, it's fine.

Why did you want to see me today?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Would you...

mind at all...

if I asked to hold your hand?

What?

No, that's fine.

Mother.

Your hands are very warm.

Are you okay?

Yes. Thank you.

It's nothing.

I called you to ask you for a favor.

What is it?

I want you to...

break up with Soo In.

What? What do you mean?

I'm sorry.

Break up with Soo In. I need you to.

Mother. Why would you say that?

I can't stand seeing my daughter suffer.

I want you to give up and let her go.

Mother.

Right now, you may think Soo In's the only person you love.

You'll meet someone nicer, someone better suited for you.

Don't put too much effort into what won't work out.

Give up on Soo In. Can you please do that?

Mother.

I trust you'll do as I ask. Goodbye.

Mother, wait.

Don't do this.

You're just making things...

harder for everyone.

Please stop. Why the sudden change?

I said it's about Soo In.

Mother.

Don't suffer too much.

Take care of yourself.

Sorry. I have to go.

Finding out the son I thought was dead is alive...

is a miracle and you'll never know how thankful I am.

But...

not being able to tell him that I'm his mother...

breaks my heart and it hurts so much.

Grandma, did you meet Soo In's mother?

What do you mean? I met whom?

I just met up with her and she asked me to break up with Soo In.

What did you say to her?

I never met her.

Then why would she say something like that?

Because she doesn't want her daughter to suffer.

Everyone says it won't work out. Why are you so stubborn?

It's all down to you now.

Give up.

I can't do that. I won't give up on Soo In.

I made some clothes for you and Ji Hoon.

You didn't have to. You must be busy.

It's okay. I get to practice when I make clothes for you.

Thanks, Jung In. We'll cherish them.

Okay.

You haven't heard about Mom, have you?

What about her?

Auntie told me that before she met Dad,

she was married and had a child.

Was she?

She thought they'd died in the war,

but she recently met her mother-in-law.

Were they alive?

Yes, it seems so.

I think it's been weighing on her.

I see.

How are things going with you and Mr. Kim?

I don't know.

Are they still upset about Dad?

I thought last time that Mr. Kim really likes you a lot.

Can't you just accept his love?

Ji Hoon adores him like he would his real dad...

and even if Madam Cho's against it, it's your love that counts.

I'm sure she'll come around in time.

I want you to trust Mr. Kim and stay with him.

Nothing's better than marrying the man you love.

Are you still waiting?

No one knows when she'll be back.

You're right. I think I should go. I'll try some other time.

If you don't mind, could you tell Soo In that I was here?

Sure, I will.

Come on. What's wrong with you?

Sit and eat.

I said I won't until you approve.

Man Pyo, stop making a fuss and eat.

Does that mean I have your approval?

No. Do you really think this is acceptable?

Why isn't it?

Why do you disapprove before you even met her?

There's no reason to meet her. It's a no.

Get a grip and move on.

I respected you more than anyone until now.

But if I must give up on the woman I love...

just so you can save face...

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

I can't give up on Seol Hee.

Do you think it's about me?

It's for you!

If this is really about me,

then you'll give in and wish me happiness.

Is that what you really think? Do you stand by that?

Yes. I have made up my mind.

Then I have no choice. If you can't give up on her,

move out.

Honey.

Take your pick. Is it her or your family?

Very well.

If that's what you say,

I will pick her.

How dare you.

What are you doing?

Didn't you hear? He wants me gone.

Must you really go this far?

If I'm forced to make a choice, then it can't be helped.

Even if the skies fall,

I can't give up on Seol Hee.

Get a grip, Man Pyo. You aren't in your right mind.

No. My mind has never been this clear.

Don't even try to stop me.

I'm begging you.

I can't live if you leave like this.

Take care.

Man Pyo. Man Pyo.

Leave the washing and have some watermelon. It's really sweet.

Is it? I was afraid it wouldn't be.

I bought a good one.

Mr. Ko.

What are you doing here, Mr. Hong?

I left home.

You left home? Why?

Things happened.

This must be your wife.

Nice to meet you. I'm Hong Man Pyo. I work with your husband.

Hello. I heard a lot about you.

Mr. Ko, didn't you say there's an empty room?

I'd like to stay there.

You want to live here?

Yes. I hope you don't mind, ma'am.

So did he pack up and leave?

Yes. Where could he be? He doesn't have a place to go.

He'll be at a guesthouse.

He has lost his mind.

I'm sorry. I'll find him tomorrow and bring him back home.

Forget about it.

Don't let him back until he gives up on that woman.

Honey.

You're at fault too.

You spoiled him rotten and that's why...

he doesn't know how the world works.

How else should I treat my only brother?

You know what he's like.

He's too easily manipulated. It's out of my control.

Don't even think of letting him back in.

I need to ask you point blank.

It's bothering me too much.

What is?

Be honest with me.

Why did you weep so sadly?

Why can't you answer?

Was it because you met your previous mother-in-law?

Are your husband and kid alive? Is that it?

No.

They're dead.

Is he?

Then why did you cry?

Nothing's changed.

I was sad, that's all.

Seeing the woman I thought had died...

was relieving in a way,

but then it brought back the past I'd tried hard to forget.

I'm sorry if I caused you concern.

Was that it?

I had no idea.

Sorry for getting the wrong idea.

It's okay. You don't have to worry now.

I'll get some water.

Okay.

Seon Woo.

My son.

Seon Woo.

Come in.

- Did you ask for me? - Yes, sit down.

I want to ask you something.

Did you take my grandmother to Soo In's restaurant?

No, I didn't.

Tell me the truth.

Did you really not?

You did.
