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

You've grown into a beautiful woman.

I'm sorry

I didn't recognize you.

That's not what you should be sorry about.

It's understandable as it's been a very long time.

What you should really be sorry about

is having abandoned me.

I'm sorry.

But I did think about you every day.

I am filled with gratitude.

Very well then.

I have to get back.

Wait, Haesu.

Is there something else?

I didn't look for you because

I believed you were well with your father.

That's probably what you wanted to believe

because you put your happiness before mine.

Haesu.

What's the point in even talking about this?

I'm doing well,

so don't worry about me,

and just take care of yourself.

Why are you refusing to see Dr. Jeong?

He came all the way to Chuncheon looking for you.

He seems to care about you a lot.

His family doesn't approve of me

because I'm poor and

didn't get much schooling.

Are you sure?

Even my birth mother left me,

so what parent would approve of me?

I thought it was par for the course.

That's not true, Haesu.

If I can meet his parents,

I can tell them that's not true,

so don't walk away from him.

You'll make excuses to them

that even I can't make sense of?

You don't have to play mother to me.

Haesu.

It was nice seeing you.

Have a safe trip back.

If she left like that, I was hoping

she was doing well for herself.

Very few parents who leave their children

end up doing well.

If they did,

it wouldn't be fair.

I'd like mom to be doing well.

That way, she can help us.

Dream on, Oh Seho.

If mom wanted to help us,

she never would've left.

I'm sure your mothers had their reasons.

Don't hate your mom, Haesu.

I know.

I'm ashamed that you have to

see me like this.

I wanted to forgive her,

but she had to make excuses.

But we're doing well on our own.

That's right.

So chin up, everyone.

You too, Haesu.

Okay.

My goodness. Nothing matches.

Good grief.

But what can I do?

I'll just have to make do.

Suja, Suja.

These are for you.

Here.

What's all this?

You don't have nice tableware.

You can use these.

These are so pretty.

You sold all your clothes and such,

but you still have your china.

I just couldn't get myself

to part with these.

Tableware is a homemaker's pride and joy.

That's true.

I guess I'm a homemaker

with nothing to be proud of or be joyful for.

In any case, I appreciate it.

I won't lose face thanks to you.

Aren't you glad I moved in?

Are you forcing me

to pat you on the back?

When's Yewon coming?

She'll be here soon with Ujin.

Then, in return for the tableware,

please give Hojae a good introduction.

About that, don't tell her

you two are living in the spare room.

Just say you're visiting.

Are you ashamed of us?

Should I be proud of you?

Don't belittle us because we rent from you.

Just do me that favor.

I've done all kinds of favors for you.

We're poor enough as it is,

so we'll lose face if Yewon finds out

you've moved in with is.

Do you get what I'm saying?

Yes, Suja.

We'll just keep a low profile.

Hi, grandma.

Hi, Taejin.

Why are you alone?

Where's your family?

I came alone.

I heard Uncle Hojae and Aunt Aeran moved in.

You're not here to meet Ujin's fiancee?

Ujin's fiancee? / - Yes.

What are you doing here?

Is Ujin's fiancee coming over today?

Why didn't you tell me?

It's just dinner, so I didn't

bother calling you.

That's not right.

I'm Ujin's

older brother and the eldest.

It's because you and your uncle and I

are a disgrace to this family.

Why put it like that, Aeran?

But it's true.

You said we shouldn't tell Yewon

that we moved in here.

Are you ashamed of me

because I live with my mother-in-law?

If you're proud of it,

tell Yewon all about it when she gets here.

Okay, fine.

Your shameful son will take a hike.

Don't invite me to Ujin's wedding either.

I'll make myself scarce.

Good grief.

He's way too sensitive.

Why invite anyone over if

you're ashamed of your kin?

Why don't you just move out with Ujin?

I wish I could.

Good grief.

Talk about snooty.

Dad.

Dad, what are you doing here?

Manjae.

Were you waiting for me?

It's not that.

I suddenly can't remember where we live.

Pardon?

Is it this way?

This way?

I don't know why I can't remember.

You really can't remember?

Dad, it's the alley next to the store.

Yes, this is it.

That's right.

Let's go.

Come on.

Dad.

Yes, this is it.

This is our house, right?

Yes, dad.

I'm home, Ongsim.

Ongsim.

My goodness, Subong.

Where have you been when you knew

we were expecting a guest?

We're expecting a guest?

Who?

Ujin's fiancee is coming.

She is?

So Haesu is coming?

Subong,

why bring up Haesu out of the blue?

So who's coming?

I know you don't care for Yewon,

but you can't say "who are you?" to her face.

Why would I ask her who she is?

She is Ujin's much-awaited life partner.

My goodness. You're so fickle.

She'll be here soon,

so go in and rest.

Okay.

Why aren't you getting changed?

Suja, something's wrong with dad.

What's wrong with him?

The herbal tonic I got him must not be effective.

His forgetfulness seems

to have gotten worse.

He's fine for someone his age.

I often put the ladle in the fridge.

I should take him to the hospital.

Hurry up and get changed.

Yewon will be here soon.

That's not what's important right now.

To me, there's nothing more important.
