Madam Cha Dal-Rae's Love (Cha Dal Rae Buinui Sarang / 차달래 부인의 사랑)

His potassium level was a bit of a mess,

but that's fine now too.

Then is he okay now?

Yes. He can start to eat.

Thanks. Thank you so much. You saved him.

Give him whatever he craves.

He'll recover quicker.

Okay. Thank you. - Sure.

Thank you. - Sure.

He left home thinking he'd make a great difference.

Look at him now.

You almost reduced my life by 10 years.

Sorry.

It's okay now that you're back.

You're okay, and that's what matters.

You're his mom...

and you're way too soft.

You go home. I'll stay with him.

Someone has to clean up the wedding too.

The wedding? - You don't know yet.

So Young got married.

Really?

When? To whom?

If you were that curious, you should've called.

You didn't even know your only sister got married.

Stop it.

She got married yesterday, so we didn't tell her about you yet.

What about my senior? The guy who brought me here.

Your senior?

From high school? - University.

From university. He must be a doctor then.

We haven't met yet.

He got you admitted and even paid the bills.

Introduce him to us properly later.

Okay.

I'm sorry for...

causing you worry.

Don't go anywhere else. You'll stay, won't you?

Who said he can leave?

Why waste your breath stating the obvious?

Dae Young, you got me last time, but I won't be fooled twice.

If you try this again, I'll break all your bones.

Stop that and go home. Get out of here.

Why won't you let me talk?

Do you still not get it?

He's an adult now.

He won't do as you say just because you bully him.

Then what? Should we just let him...

go down the wrong path?

Are you cheering for him?

If you'll let him manipulate you, stop caring for him at all.

No. I can't do that.

I'll focus only on Dae Young's happiness.

Happiness?

My goodness.

His happiness?

Go home. This is a hospital.

We'll talk later.

Director Kang, the time...

Hello. Welcome. - Hello.

Is Director Kang not in?

We're late for a reunion.

There was an emergency surgery. He'll be out soon.

Take a seat and wait. - Thanks.

If you met Joon Ho in high school,

you must know all about him.

Well, yes.

Our paths crossed often, so I know a lot about him.

Then do you know who Sergeant Nam is?

Sergeant Nam?

As in a real sergeant from the army?

Yes. They text each other and meet up often.

Army friends must mean a lot to guys.

You got something very wrong.

Director Kang doesn't have any sergeant friends.

What?

Joon Ho served in a legendary unit...

that has since been disbanded.

A legendary unit?

The NDC. The Neighborhood Defense Corps.

If he was a soldier, a fly's a bird.

He was in the Defense Corps and was discharged a corporal.

He can't know any sergeants.

Really? - Yes. He was teased so much.

Do you really not want to eat anything?

You must eat well. Tell me everything you can think of.

Do you know how much I ate already?

Enough to feed an African child for a week.

How was Africa?

Was it nice to see the baobab tree you wanted to see so badly?

It was more fascinating than nice.

Even trees that are centuries older than me...

are taking life one day at a time.

Even stick-thin kids with huge eyes...

fight each day for...

a cup of water and a piece of bread.

My worries could actually be nothing in the end.

Open wide. - I'll feed myself.

Open your mouth. The IV line will get in the way.

Seriously, Mom?

It's so nice.

I feel better to finally see you eat.

I'm sorry to make you worry.

Did Dad give you a hard time?

After you left, I thought about a lot of things.

And had lots of regrets.

I should've listened to you when you said life was hard.

If I had listened, you might not have gone so far.

So now,

I won't nag you to just go back to university.

I'll give you some time to think.

About what makes you happy and how you'll live.

You do the thinking and deciding, and I'll support you.

Thanks, Mom.

I won't take too long.

Okay.

Do you really not want to eat more?

Your porridge.

I want your seaweed bean paste porridge.

Okay. I'll bring some tomorrow.

Eat this.

What's going on?

Why is it so noisy outside?

How's Dae Young?

How is he?

He wanted seaweed bean paste porridge,

so I took the first subway back.

How is he? Is he feeling better?

Yes. He's eating well and he went to the toilet...

on his own last night.

Eat your breakfast...

then take this to him.

What about you? - I have to check on the cafe.

I missed a few days without notice because of Dae Young.

You said you wouldn't go.

Quit, now that Dae Young's back.

Dae Young's back, so I'll work harder.

Why?

To give him pocket money?

No. To divorce you.

Will you stop saying that?

When Dae Young's discharged,

I'll tell him everything and move out.

I have no money.

You can leave if you want to live without a single penny.

Don't forget to take this.

Why that woman...

My goodness. Who are you?

What...

Who are you?

Who are you?

I work here, so you'd better get out.

Why would I do that?

Come here.

Hello? Police?

This is Jangsa-dong 21. - What are you doing?

Hang up. - Don't come closer.

I'll hit you if you do.

Okay, fine, just hang up first.

Get here right now! Hurry!

Lady!

I'm really sorry. Sorry, officers.

Goodbye. Take care.

Bye.

Are you okay?

Do you want more ice?

The ice from the freezer in my store?

Sorry. - Lady.

Don't you have a rational thought?

The door's locked...

and a man's sleeping inside.

Who would he be?

A thief? - The owner.

The only person other than you who has a key.

Sorry. The manager hadn't told me anything,

so I didn't know you were the CEO.

You should've told me first.

I didn't know who you were. Someone else was here yesterday.

Did you let just anyone in here...

because you could?

No, not at all.

My son was sick,

so I asked a friend to stay just for one day.

Let's make this your last day here.

Pardon?

Sir.

I'm sorry for not recognizing you and hitting you.

I'm also sorry for having a friend take my place yesterday.

But you can't just fire me over something like that.

I'm going to close the store as soon as possible.

Pardon? - My head aches.

Let's just call us even.

Clean up before you leave.

The products on the shelves had expired,

so I put them in storage.

The old coffee beans shouldn't be consumed,

so I ground them up and set them out as air freshener.

I asked the manager for new beans and roasted them.

The backlogged utility fees...

and the money I got from the manager and spent...
