Two Mothers (Cuckoo Nest / Bbeoggoogi Doongji / 뻐꾸기 둥지)

Two Mothers

What did he say?

There's no place that'll accept a $3000 deposit.

The agent didn't even treat me like a person.

If you didn't let Hwayeong take the money,

we would've gotten a small place.

Why did you let her take it?

She was staring me right in the face,

how could I take that money?

Hwayeong, that smart aleck, thinks

she's the only one with a brain.

She's too smart for her own good.

It's actually better that way.

It just didn't feel right to me.

From a legal standpoint,

we could be sued for blackmail and...

Stop it.

You keep talking about the law.

What did I get in return for your law degree?

To study for the bar exam,

you went all over the country.

And now you're just a freeloader.

Don't say that.

I passed the preliminary exam twice.

Chansik, my dear Chansik.

It only counts if you finish strong.

Good grief.

If my son,

Donghyeon, were still alive,

I wouldn't be living like this.

He'd be in his white coat

making heaps of money.

My life is a disaster.

What are you going to do?

What?

Where are you going to go?

I'm not going anywhere.

If I want to get my $10,000 back,

I have to keep sticking by your side.

Ow, my head. Father please!

Let's go, Chuja.

Great! I'm right on time.

Let's go.

Where?

Where else? To eat dinner.

I found this really hot restaurant.

I'm sorry but I have an appointment.

What? Did I just get rejected?

Not rejected. Just bad timing.

Actually, I have a blind date today.

Blind date?

Let's have dinner next time.

Your dad is waiting inside.

A blind date isn't his style.

Dad.

Hey honey, come in.

How about a nice father-daughter date?

I'm sorry.

I have another date planned.

I'm getting rejected by my dad too?

Dad, don't be like that.

I'm sorry.

I love this woman more than you, even.

Shh. Don't let mom know, okay?

Okay.

I'll keep my mouth shut

if that's what makes you feel young.

Thank you.

Honey?

Are you ready?

Sure, let's go Hong Geumok.

We're leaving.

Come on!

Mom and dad!

Are you all set?

Yes, ma'am.

They're super special guests,

so be especially careful.

- Understood. - Good.

- You're here. - Hey, auntie.

You're here. Isn't it hot?

Come this way.

Welcome.

Thank you for your hard work.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Donghyeon.

Donghyeon.

I know you're not that cheap.

The two of you?

So you're together?

Are you disappointed that

that I brought you here?

The candles smell nice and you look great.

It's the best.

Do I look as good as I did

when you first met me?

Today is the anniversary of our first date.

In that white dress and your hair in a bun,

you were gorgeous.

How can I put it?

You looked like a white lily.

I fell head over heels for that

soft and innocent look.

This will look great on you.

I know that you were having a tough time.

And I'm grateful that you're still with me.

Byeongguk.

We're having a baby,

just as mother always wanted.

But I feel so sorry,

and I feel like I've wronged you.

Let me put it on for you.

Are we late?

Dad.

Thank you for coming.

Were you waiting long?

Have a seat.

- Sit. - Yes.

This is impossible.

Of all people, how can you be so happy?

Of all people, how could you marry that man?

I truly thought that you loved me.

And you said you loved me a thousand times.

But in the end, you two got married?

That's not right.

Not at all.

This is a French red wine.

Chateau Lynch-Bages.

Yes, thank you.

I didn't even invite her

but she insisted on coming.

I had no choice but to bring her along.

Dad, are you saying you wanted to leave me

out of this family meeting?

Is that what he means, Byeongguk?

Don't worry. I'm glad you're here.

I was planning on seeing you soon anyways.

And why's that?

She's probably trying to ask for money.

Byeongguk, don't give her any.

She needs to grow up.

Designers don't even make that much.

Dad, can you give me a big raise? Please?

I'll cover your expenses until you get married.

But in return, you need to meet a good man.

Got it?

Okay, it's a deal.

Don't be so rude.

I'll get your orders ready.

Mother, father, I'm very sorry.

About what I said last time...

It's fine.

You two have already made up your minds.

As long as it's what Yeonhui wants,

that's all that matters.

You should go along with it too.

But I still think...

Junhui.

Let's not get too serious now.

Let's just enjoy the food, shall we?

I need to use the restroom.

I'm sorry about earlier, ma'am.

It's fine. It was an accident.

But have we met before?

I'm not sure.

I think it's the first time we've met.

I'm sorry. I'm not good at recognizing people.

Well then...

Yeah. Figures.

You're living the good life,

you wouldn't recognize

your dead boyfriend's sister.

Byeongguk and the in-laws,

their whole family's here.

How is it?

Are they having a good time?

Byeongguk's behaving like a gentleman,

and his father-in-law loves the wine.

I think they're doing alright.

Huija, don't worry so much.

The two of them have made up their minds,

they can't force them to divorce now.

In any case, give it your full attention.

It's still rather unfortunate for our in-laws

and for Yeonhui as well.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

It'll all work out, right?

Sure, don't worry.

And Huija?

Hwayeong brought me money earlier.

She wanted me to give it to you.

Money?

The $2,000 her mom and uncle took.

I think she felt guilty about it.

And she wanted me to tell you

that she's turning down your proposal.

Okay, we'll talk when you get home.

Well now, that makes me like her even more.

She's a decent and thoughtful person.

And she's got class.
