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

That money meant so much to me.

What did I do wrong...

to deserve something like this?

All I did was work and live hard.

But then...

My life...

Why is it so unfair?

Honey. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Who's that?

I don't want to see you. Go away.

Let me in, Mi Rae.

What'll happen next...

if I were to let you into my house again?

Mi Rae, I came to apologize.

Open the door.

Keep your shoes on.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't think she'd slap you.

Am I cheating with you?

Why do I deserve such treatment?

Why make me into such a fool?

I came to apologize.

Here.

Why am I "Sergeant Nam"?

Are you so scared of her that you had to change my name?

She kept looking at my phone.

She doesn't know you're here, does she?

She's at home.

I dropped by on my way.

Who knows if she followed you? Go home.

Okay.

You managed to hold back.

The old you would've fought right back.

Do you know why I held back?

For Dong Hyun's sake.

In case your wife took her anger out on him.

She wouldn't do that.

She's teaching him English.

If she acts like an evil stepmother towards Dong Hyun,

I'll make her pay.

I promise. - What will you do?

I'll divorce her.

Don't you dare take that back.

I'd like...

your ramyeon with assorted toppings.

No way, get out.

Go away.

You can't have called me to come back after just one day.

What more business do you have with me?

Did you study chemistry?

It looks more like you did, sir.

"Sir"?

My goodness. - Oh dear.

Come over here. Give me your hand.

It's okay.

It's not badly burned.

Just a moment.

Here.

Wait.

What's that cream?

Medicinal rhubarb cream. - Medicinal rhubarb?

The Chinese medicine kind?

You know?

I ground dry rhubarb into powder...

and mixed it with Vaseline.

How do you know that rhubarb has cooling properties?

There you go.

It's not serious. It'll go down in a while.

Do you...

always carry that around?

If I'm at a cafe,

there's always someone clumsy like you.

What?

Don't you have something to say?

I do.

Why didn't you tell me?

My goodness.

I just told you to be a proctor for the day.

Why did you talk too much to the twins' homeroom teacher?

Do you know how humiliated I was when I called about the leave slip?

I'm the one who was humiliated.

Do you know who my vocal coach is?

Who is it?

The twins' homeroom teacher.

Their teacher's your vocal coach?

Yes.

He chased me out, thinking I'm a lying fool,

but changed his tune when he thought I was the twins' mom.

That's why he took me back,

but you ruined everything.

Did he chase you out again?

Yes. He fired me for good.

Then you need to earn money.

How can I do that?

Teach Il Lan to sing.

She's causing a fuss about auditions these days.

Il Lan? Is she talented?

She is a bit as she takes after me.

If she takes after you, she might be talented,

but gifted...

Oh come on. I should just...

Fine.

This isn't something most housewives know about.

How do you know?

My family has a history.

My mom sold stuff at a harbor.

Her skin swelled up and cracked from frostbite every winter,

so I made her my own hand creams.

Now I make my own shampoo and makeups at home.

It's nice because at least I don't use any...

commercial chemical preservatives.

They'll go bad right away if you don't use preservatives.

They last two weeks when kept in a fridge.

I tried using vitamin C and NAPRE.

Now I use scutellaria extract.

Scutellaria extract?

You made that too?

It's simple.

I sometimes buy it. It's not too expensive.

Can you do me a favor?

Pardon?

Will you take this and test it?

Why should I?

I shouldn't act entitled.

What does that have to do with this?

You'll find out.

Take this home and test it for me.

We'll talk about it first.

I might have something to tell you.

Okay.

The thing is,

my senior practically dragged me back.

I was struggling too much.

He thought I'd die if I stayed there.

What does he do?

All I know is that he studied medicine.

I think he was a public health doctor on some island.

He sounds like a good person.

Do you want to go back to Africa?

I don't know.

I saw and learned a lot while helping the medical staff.

You can help charities wherever you are.

Why don't you help out at our hospital?

I'd like to if I could.

I need a part-time job anyway.

Okay, I'll see what I can do to help.

Do you know how tough it was for Mom and Dad after you left?

Especially Mom.

I'd love to punch you when...

I think about what Dad did to her because of you.

Don't do anything to upset Mom now.

They're not the same, are they?

Mom changed a bit since Grandma died.

She doesn't give in to Dad's tantrums now.

She wants to live her own life now.

They fought last night too.

Why? - I think Dad...

lost his severance pay in a con.

All his severance pay?

How did that happen?

I don't know that.

Poor circulation due to obesity...

can cause fatty liver...

Hello, Father. - Hi, Dad.

I'm home. - Hi.

Hello. - Hello.

Sit.

So, how...

What's this about?

Sit down.

What are you doing?

Is it true that Dad was conned of his severance pay?

Who told you?

Dae Young overheard you and Dad fight yesterday.

He heard?

What happened?

I don't know. I don't want to say.

We need to know what happened...

to find out a way to solve it.

Heo Se says he signed to buy a store in a mall,

but the conman gave him a fake contract and disappeared.

A store?

Dad...

He should've checked carefully.

Cheers.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Don't say that.

You can go back to university next semester.

While I was in Africa,

I saw, heard and learned so much.

And you didn't go back?

Part of me is considering going back to study.

But even if I take another path, I won't disappoint you.

I'd like you to believe in me.

I'm not rude or crass.

Right. You're not rude or crass.

Believe in me.

Then what will you do until you go back to university?
