The first 200 lines.
How could she talk back to me like that...
when I was her mother-in-law up until a few days ago?
It's her way of saying you mean nothing to her now.
This is wrong.
Noble family, my foot.
Maybe that title was bought.
Only that can explain his audacious daughters.
Disrespectful and empty-headed.
How dare he slap my son in front of me?
My gosh.
Why did you let him slap you instead of ducking?
Hearing that slap ringing off your cheek...
opened my eyes as if I were electrocuted.
My goodness!
How could I not go ballistic?
Of course. Your whole body must've gone into shock.
He has a face that's precious even to just look at.
You slapped her first though.
What? Whose side are you on?
All right then. So what now?
How much money did he give you?
It's only a little over 30,000 dollars.
Anybody else would've threatened to sue.
I am the guilty party after all.
How is it your fault when she's a fraud?
What did she contribute to this marriage?
All she did was suck you dry while you worked your butt off...
and even hired a housekeeper.
She lived the good life as a lawyer's wife...
buying designer clothes and purses.
I can turn a blind eye to all that.
But how could she lie to me...
about my son causing their infertility?
That alone still keeps me up at night.
How could it not?
Of course, it does. It actually gives me the shudders.
The shudders.
There you go.
Can you stay out of this?
I can see you're not shuddering at all.
What's done is done, so get a chunk of alimony instead.
That's the best course of action now.
34,000 dollars for a marriage of 15 years?
How much is it exactly?
It's 34,438.3 dollars.
I bet he has money stashed away somewhere.
I still believe that he's a decent man.
What he gave me was all he had.
I know him well.
And yet you got cheated on.
Even if Byun Ho wants to be generous,
he can't if his mother and mistress won't let him.
Everyone here knows how he is.
He's indecisive, lacks solutions, and easily swayed by others.
He'll listen to his mistress like he listened to you.
Sue him for the money then.
The lady at the marketplace who sells side dishes...
sued her ex-husband...
and got what she deserved from his secret stash.
She even sued his mistress.
I don't want this to turn into a dirty fight.
I'll take care of this, so don't worry.
And your solution was to stay at a gosiwon?
All right.
So that we won't have to worry,
tell us what you plan on doing.
What's all this?
Take a look.
My gosh.
Goodness.
Goodness gracious.
I see you have a small fortune. Is this apartment in your name too?
Yes.
You're not paying rent to anyone?
I used to, but I bought it about three years ago.
I'm willing to open another restaurant...
if you agree to babysit Blessing.
Money won't be a problem.
She says that money isn't a problem.
I'm grateful for the offer,
but this isn't necessary.
You're not strangers, you know.
Money is shared among married couples.
You have a social status to maintain.
How can you carry on living with a wage that is garnished?
Men need fat wallets to stay confident.
You're the total package, aren't you?
I bet even your poop is useful.
What did I do to deserve someone like you?
Mom, give those back.
This all still feels surreal.
My ex divorced me for not giving him a child.
I wanted one badly, you see.
Anyway, I don't know what came over me that day.
No one can stop the fertility goddess at work.
Even during a war where bullets fly and bombs explode,
babies are still brought to term.
Add Blessing onto your family register already.
Have you decided on a name?
I'll choose one of the names Dad had picked out.
- I'll call him Gong Jung. - Okay.
The fortune-teller mentioned a daughter in your life too,
so get to work and give Gong Jung a sister.
Seeing Gwang Nam's family outnumbering us upset me dearly.
Blessing should have many siblings so that he's never lonely.
One can't enjoy the stars without looking at the sky.
I'm off to the office.
But she wants to enjoy the stars.
What?
You haven't thought about it?
You divorced him without a plan in mind?
How could she have come up with one when the divorce happened so fast?
My divorce embarrasses you, doesn't it?
I'm sorry for being a disgrace to this family.
So you're aware of it?
The family had no honor to keep anyway.
Taeng Ja, shut it.
Why?
Aren't divorcees allowed to have an opinion?
I'm glad you know that.
Shouldn't an aunt set an example for her nieces?
Getting divorced multiple times is nothing to be proud of.
Don't run your mouth regarding someone else's life.
Staying married isn't always the answer.
Do you know why I'm upset?
It's not because I'm embarrassed or humiliated.
You being a disgrace isn't the reason either.
How are you going to keep food on the table?
Life isn't a stroll in the park, you know.
Nothing else matters.
What's most important in life?
Putting food on the table.
So you're worried...
that I'll starve to death without a husband to provide for me?
Don't you worry.
I won't be a burden to you, my sisters, or my aunts.
I'll make a living for myself.
Doing what?
You've never worked a day before in your life.
What will you possibly do?
Dad, don't badger her like that.
We should be grateful that she survived all the misfortune.
So don't be like that.
They say that...
divorce follows a spouse's death on the list of stress factors.
You experienced it yourself last year.
You even ended up in the hospital.
You have some nerve interrupting this conversation.
I was talking to your sister.
Just leave her be for now.
Badgering her like this won't undo what's done.
The divorce is still fresh...
and I'm sure she'll now make plans.
She should've done that before the divorce, not afterward.
How long do you think you'll last on the 30,000 dollars he gave you?
I'd rather you give it back...
than hearing him say he at least gave you something.
Don't you cry.
This is your mess to clean up.
Don't cry nor whine in front of your family.
You have no right to shed any tears.
Dad, how could you?
Gwang Nam!
Dad, that's enough.
Will it take her gulping down pills for you to stay off her case?
Is that what you want?
Oh, Brother Tes.
Darn it!
How dare you say that to your father!
Cheol Soo, please. Let your anger subside.
You're driving the nail deeper into Gwang Nam's heart.
We'll leave since we're that much of an eyesore.
Sure, go ahead.
Don't show your face to me again!
This is just wrong.
Then do you think this is right?
Can't I have my say?
Am I supposed to whine and weep over my niece's divorce?
That's just ridiculous.
Cheol Soo, try to calm yourself down.
It's Gwang Nam who's having a really hard time now.
She must be at a loss after she got betrayed and stabbed in the back.
Don't be too hard on her.
You should believe in your children.
How would I possibly believe in her?
How will she make a living?
Darn, was I born under an unlucky star or something?
Why do I have to go through all this?
Bong Ja, we should perform an exorcism.
I think the house is ill-omened.
What?
You guys should stay.
I won't let you go alone.
We can find a big room for the three of us.
The three of us living together will be quite a sight.
People will talk behind our backs in whispers.
It feels like I can hear it already.
I don't care what people say.
Why are you guys being like this?
You should understand your dad.
