Protect The Family (Save The Family / 가족을 지켜라 / Gajokeul Jikyeora)

It's me, Ms. Bok!

Why are you here?

What's going on?

Oh, um...

Who do we have here? Hi, Yewon. Hello, ma'am.

To what do we owe this surprise visit?

I'm sorry.

I didn't want you

fussing over my visit.

But still.

You shouldn't catch me off guard like this.

I'm sorry about that. Don't be. It's fine.

Why is Ms. Lee Haesu here?

Huh?

Do you know Ms. Lee?

Yes. Seorim's cafeteria is one my customers.

Really?

Then, you must know already.

Ms. Lee is my tenant.

So she lives here?

Yes. I live here in the room by the entrance.

Let's not stand out here.

Come on in. / - Thank you.

Mother, father, Yewon's here.

Is someone at our landlord's?

A guest?

Yes. The managing director of One's Food.

What is she doing here?

Is she here with handouts for us again?

No.

She's actually Dr. Jeong's fiancee.

What?

You did say he had a girlfriend, but it was her?

Yes.

He sure has a big shot girlfriend.

So she pitied us

because Dr. Jeong asked her to?

No.

We shouldn't be upset with Dr. Jeong.

How can he be with a woman like her?

So he's a gold digger, huh? Don't say that.

They're in love.

Her personality couldn't have won him over.

It had to have been family background. What a let down.

Let's just mind our own business.

Let's have dinner.

My husband wanted to meet you,

but he's not back from work yet.

I see.

I get the feeling you have something to say.

Yes. Um...

I'm here to apologize.

I'm sorry.

I only found out yesterday that

my mother was here.

It's not something you should apologize for.

Yes, it is, ma'am.

I'm very sorry.

Since you've come all this way to apologize, I will accept your apology.

But I can't let Ujin marry you.

Father.

Our family is lacking in many ways,

but one thing we're proud of is how well Ujin's turned out.

But your parents disapprove of him,

so why should we give you our blessing?

My mother didn't know Ujin well enough.

I talked to her,

and she feels very bad now.

Really?

Then, shouldn't she have come to apologize? She said she wanted to,

but I insisted on coming in her place.

My mother got these for you to say she's sorry.

Here's your herbal medicine, gongjindan.

And this is for you.

And you don't have to return the money.

We don't?

But we must.

Please accept it so that both my mother and I

can be relieved of some of the guilt.

Sure, if that's how you feel.

Right, Suja?

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

And thanks for coming here to apologize.

But we will return the money.

It will take some time, but we will return it.

Please don't stay angry, father.

Yewon came all this way to apologize.

That's right, Subong. Let it go.

That's not for me to decide.

We have to see what Manjae thinks.

I'll explain everything to Mr. Jeong as well.

Goodness me.

You're so polite.

It's always "Ms. Bok" and "Mr. Jeong."

I'll go and make dinner,

so do stay and eat with us.

That's alright.

I'll invite you to my restaurant next time. We can have dinner together then.

Thank you so much for your understanding. No. Thank you for coming here to apologize.

I'll treat you and Mr. Jeong to a great dinner.

Okay. I wish Ujin were here to see you off.

I feel bad sending you off all alone.

My car's right outside.

I'll show myself out.

I want to have a chat with Ms. Lee. What about?

I didn't know she lived here.

I'd like to see how she's faring.

You're such a sweetheart.

Okay, then. Go on in.

Bye. / - See you.

May I come in?

I'd like to have a word with you.

Couldn't I come to your office tomorrow?

It won't take long. I'm coming in.

Hello.

We were in the middle of dinner.

Your entire family lives in this tiny room?

What's wrong with this room?

It may be small,

but we never go hungry.

I'm sorry if you were hurt by the ad.

I meant well, but

I should've been more considerate.

Are you apologizing?

Yes.

Will you accept my apology?

Yes, if you really mean it.

I really do want the best for you and the kids.

I hope there are no misunderstandings about that.

Then, we want you to know we don't need

any more of your help.

Please don't push me away.

Just about everyone needs help from others.

If you're going to help us,

give us significant help rather than

just a care package for show.

Don't be ridiculous, Semi.

She's just being honest.

Just pay us for the ad then. We worked for it.

Payroll's processing it, so you'll have it soon.

I think that program is a good fit for you.

And I see now that I should

extend help that's more useful.

I'll get going then.

Enjoy your dinner.

Goodbye.

Yewon.

Why are you so startled?

Why are you coming out of there?

Before you ask me that,

you'll have to tell me why Ms. Lee lives here.

Is it a problem that I live here?

Excuse me?

I found out this was his parents' house only after I had moved in.

There's nothing you should be worried about.

I'll be the judge of that.

Let's talk outside.

Why the surprise visit?

I came to apologize.

Apologize?

My mom told me.

She had come and left a check.

But why get down on your knees over it?

Why should my man grovel over just $100,000? Just $100,000?

It caused our family great indignity,

yet you say "just" $100,000?

It's not a large sum for me.

Must I apologize for our different standards?

There's no need to apologize.

I just want to point out our differences.

You should have just told me.

Why didn't you?

I didn't want to because I was so angry.

And you didn't want to tell me either

that Ms. Lee Haesu lived with you?

What?

How could you deceive me

when you two were living under one roof?

How can you say I deceived you?

I didn't tell you because

it's not something worth telling.

Do I have to tell you something

as trivial as who my tenants are?

You could've told me if it really was that trivial.

Do I mean that little to you?

Do you not trust me?

Why do you get so worked up over Ms. Lee?

Then, tell me that it's just out of pity.

What?

If it's out of pity for Ms. Lee's circumstances,

just leave the pitying to me.

Don't treat someone with pity.

There's nothing nastier than that.

So it's not out of pity?

Why are you demeaning my friendship with her?

You took her hand and stormed out.

If it wasn't out of pity,

how can I be okay with that!

I beg you.

Please don't make me unbearable to myself.
