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

Hello?

Joon Ho?

You changed your number?

No, I got another phone.

Call me at this number from now on.

You're being smart, aren't you?

You want to avoid your wife's spying?

You heard?

Why are you so unlucky with love?

I don't think that's something you should say.

Just consider it bad karma.

Don't blame karma.

Anyway, call me at this number from now on.

I can't talk at night, so text me instead.

Why should I? We aren't cheating.

If I need to talk to you,

I'll call your original number. That's that.

Karma? Karma...

What else could it be if not karma?

Why aren't you home yet?

Now you're coming home?

What are you doing?

You weren't in bed yet?

Why aren't you sleeping when you aren't feeling well?

I was about to go to bed.

Your eyes sunk even more than before.

Tell me your symptoms,

and I'll get you medicine.

You don't have to.

Oh, my mom texted me.

Where's my birthday present? - What?

Oh, that? I forgot about it. Just a minute.

Did you open it?

No, I didn't.

Your mom must've been busy. She sent it like this.

Do you like the watch?

Yes. - I'm glad.

Why do you sound downcast?

Did Song Joo scold you again?

Why's there no letter?

What?

Even if you didn't get me a gift,

you always wrote me a letter on my birthdays.

Oh, I was too busy with practice.

Song Joo threw away all the letters you'd written me.

And the rocks I'd collected.

What?

Why did she throw away the letters I wrote?

Hello?

Dong Hyun.

Dong Hyun.

Why won't you talk?

Dong Hyun, I'm sorry.

I'll send you a letter.

Dong Hyun.

Dong Hyun?

I'm tired, Mom.

Bye.

So? Did you agree to help them sleep together?

That?

I said I would,

but even for him,

I can't do something like that.

I know. Mom would surely hate it.

Even though we're their children, we can't cross the line.

We can't.

Marrying you made me realize...

just how tough it was for Mom.

I didn't know Dad was that authoritative.

And then the daughter she trusted...

insisted on marrying a guy like me.

I know.

I feel sorry for Mom and some pity for Dad.

He can't even open the rice cooker without Mom's help.

I saw today that it's not that he can't do anything.

He just doesn't want to learn.

Exactly.

Is there nothing we can do?

I'm getting worried about them now.

I'll go all strict on you from now on, so be prepared.

Make sure to do your homework.

You gave us too much.

You have to invest a lot of time in math at first.

Once you do that,

it becomes the easiest subject to excel at.

Don't you worry.

I'll make sure Il Lan does her homework.

Don't be silly and do your own homework.

You can't solve even one problem without me.

I can. I do well at school.

I do better than you think. - You're done already?

Hello.

Was it hard teaching Il Lan?

Mom.

In our days, the kids that lagged stayed late to catch up.

Cram schools these days don't accept kids with her grades.

Yi Ran's welcome wherever she wants to go.

Mom, I won't study if you keep saying that.

What? You won't study?

You should be honored that...

a Goyeon University medical student is...

even willing to tutor you, so watch what you say.

What a brat.

Thank you for today, Dae Young.

I need to talk to Il Lan,

so I can't see you out. Bye.

Bye.

Il Lan!

I hope you understand. This is how our lives are.

It's a lovely sight. See you.

Take care.

Why did you get up so early?

Come on, Mom.

I said I'd cook breakfast for as long as I'm here.

Why do that when you're here because you don't feel well?

I guess I just missed you.

Now that I'm here, I feel just fine.

You know how to saw sweet things now that you're married.

You cooked a soup?

Yes. I made a bean paste soup with anchovy broth.

With dried vegetables from the freezer.

Why are you wearing a scarf? Are you coming down with something?

I think the heater in my room broke.

It was okay last night, but it got so cold in the morning.

Really? You must've had a hard time.

It's okay. I put on all the clothes I had...

and hugged Hyeon U tight.

Watch what you say around your mom.

Father, it looks impossible to fix it ourselves.

Shall I call for service?

Be quiet.

Put that down. - Okay.

What's the matter, Father?

The heater.

It's not hard to fix. I just won't fix it.

You should call someone before it gets colder.

My goodness.

Why are you so slow?

Pardon?

You and So Young can't sleep in that room anymore.

Then you two will have to move downstairs.

Yes. That means...

Mother's bedroom?

Where would she have to sleep then?

Then she'll have no choice but to sleep with me.

Oh, I see.

Tell So Young what I just told you.

You two must say her room's too cold to sleep in.

Once you do that, I'll take care of the rest.

Okay, Father.

Good morning.

Does it look like I'm having a good morning?

I can barely sleep because of you.

What did I do?

You came up with weird ideas like a new cream and a gift set.

Do you know how much work that is?

I just suggested it to throw an idea out there.

If it's that much work, should we find another way?

How can we do that?

The idea's fantastic.

The CEO gave the go-ahead...

and production kicked off this morning.

Really? - Are you that pleased?

Of course I am.

My idea is turning into an actual product.

I'm the one who made that possible,

so buy me a meal.

I haven't received the bonus yet.

Why should I treat you to a meal already?

You changed so quickly.

You wouldn't even be here if it weren't for me.

You're right.

Okay, then. What do you want?

Home-cooked food.

What? Korean food?

No. Dae Young said something all the time in Africa.

That his mom's cooking is the best in the world.

I want to taste that.

I barely ate in days...

trying to develop the new products. Did you know?

Is that so?

Yes, that's so.

I haven't been eating on time, and my insides hurt.

So...

it's your fault.

Hello.

It's Tak's Real Estate. You came by yesterday.

Yes. I talked to the current house owner and...

Hi, sit and wait for a bit.

Yes.

He'll do something about the wallpaper,

but a new sink is out of the question.

Such scums.

They should make a home habitable, and then charge rent.

No, that wasn't me.

Call me back after discussing it.

Thank you, bye.

People just don't have a conscience.

Did something happen?

Did something upset you?
