Mom!
Dad, what's wrong with Mom?! Honey, get it together.
You can't lose yourself, rest here!
Jin Joo.
Your Brother In-Law...
Your Brother In-Law...
Mom...
How did it end up like this?
You knew about it too?
You too?! -It just me who didn't! You knew about it too?!
What in the world!
Omo what in the world! -It's just me who didn't know!
It's just me who didn't know, like an idiot! Omo!
What in the world.. Jin Joo! Your brother In-Law...
Your brother In-Law took off his wedding ring.
This ring which he never took off till this moment!
Go and get an anxiety pill.
Honey!
Ahjumma! Calm down.
Breathe! Breathe.
Ahjumma!
Don't do this ahjumma.
Scold me if you want to.
I did wrong, don't scold Oppa please.
Though that oppa of yours is a problem, but you are also.
No matter how much the man tries to stick to you, you need to protect what should be protected.
I also know you are lonely and have a hard time.
When you are this lonely and having a tough time why wouldn't you hold on to the person who shows up at this timing.
When you look at him you want to be with him and of course you don't want to be separated with him.
But still, how can you easily let a man inside your house when you live alone?
When you live alone you need to take good care of your body and heart.
I.. like oppa a lot.
Of course now you will only see what you like.
Are you at the age where you can date only?
You are at the age where you should think of marriage too.
You need to meet someone who you can get married to, no matter how much the world has changed--
If things go wrong later on, the person who would be at loss is you. -The woman.
Yes, I understand what you are saying.
I will be careful.
Also oppa is not always hanging around my house.
These days he said he has nothing much to do so he passes by for a little bit.
Take this and eat it.
Since it's your birthday, I thought I should make you eat seaweed soup so I brought it.
I'm sorry for making you worry Ahjumma.
If there's anything more we should talk about, let's do it in the store tomorrow.
I have to leave quickly for you to feel at ease.
I'm sorry Ahjumma.
You came all the way here.
No, it is my mistake too.
I should have called you in advance before coming. -It's your birthday so go inside quickly.
You too rest.
Thank you really.
I will go inside.
I don't even need to meet him to know what kind of person he is.
How dare him just because he has nowhere else to go, he takes advantage of a woman who lives alone. -Aigoo.
Oppa! You can come out now.
Did she go?
Who is it? -A friend?
No, she is the owner of the restaurant that I work at.
It seems it's because it's my birthday she came.
Whoah! Really?
It seems she is really a good owner. -She even remembered employee's birthday.
Yes.
But, what is this?
It's just some side dishes that she brought.
Let's just quickly eat what we were eating.
Oh yes.
Soon Young, it's your birthday what do you want to do?
I don't know.
This is a dream. -How else--
For someone who didn't know anyone other than our Jin Young... what kind of situation is this?
Our Son In-Law forgot all about our poor Jin Young.
Mom, anxiety pill.
No, I, I can't be eating and doing this right now.
Ahjumma! Bring me red ginseng drink for me to get my strength back.
Yes.
Eat this and take some deep breaths.
I'm telling I'm not in the state of mind where I can calmly eat this right now.
I'm okay! No, I became okay.
Who am I, huh?
I'm the notorious invincible Park Ok Soon of Gwangjang Marketplace. This is nothing!
I'm someone who lived on normally even after my eldest daughter has passed away.
Exactly what kind of woman is that Assistant Manager Ahn?
Dear you looked into it so you knew, how did you know about it?
These! These traitors! How can you two do this to me?!
You made me into an idiot!
You even bought me this ring making someone feel so fooled!
Why are you taking it out on that ring?
What did that ring ever do to you?
We were worried that you'd faint if you knew about it. -The fact that Brother In-Law has a girlfriend might cause you heart stroke.
I'm asking you exactly what kind of woman is she? -Should I call President Kang personally then?
Or should I call a private investigator and ask him to find out?
No, no that's right.
You did say before that she is a married woman with 3 kids, right?
Then what is happening?
Our Son In-Law is dating a married woman?
Not a married one, a divorced one.
Divorce--
Where is her ex husband? -Also what was the reason for her to get divorced?
No, forget all this.
Ah son, how can you be meeting such a woman?
Madame, the vitamin drink.
That's right drink that and cheer up.
No, that's right.
Actually it's better that it's a woman like her.
What you and Jin Joo have said I think it's 100 times better.
Our Son In-Law is still young and cool.
We can't forced them apart and lock him up, it doesn't work this way right?
That's right. That's right Mom.
But, if he dates and all.
If it doesn't end with that, what should we do?
What should we do if he says he wants to remarry again?
What about our poor Soo and Bin?
Even if we tell him to leave Soo and Bin with us, the In-Laws will come and take them from us.
They won't leave the kids with the mom's family after he's remarried.
Then Soo and Bin will be raised under their step mom and become orphans.
Then will they ever receive love and grow up?
Madame, take drink one more.
Mom! Trust me.
I will never send my nephew and neice away like this.
Also, that woman is really rude she is totally the opposite of Unnie.
The way I see it she will never last with Brother In-Law for a long time.
Really?
Team Leader Lee, you know the merchandise codes come out today, right?
Why? -Do you want to bet again on which team will win?
You've got five on your team so we'll match you up and send five from our team too.
The five core-brains of our team.
Including the team leader?
Let's leave the team leaders out. We'll go with 4 vs. 4.
It still won't be enough to defeat my team.
What are you talking about? This time I have confident.
What are we betting on?
For the runner up team a dinner and for the winner team musical tickets.
And for dinner how about we have it at Lee Team Leader's parents restaurant?
Okay, then Park Team Leader you should be preparing the musical tickets at the aisle.
That's too expensive, don't you think so?
If you don't have the confidence then just kneel here.
Our team doesn't have any knees to kneel.
Fine, we'll have a good match.
Okay.
Finally the gifts we were waiting for.
Can't we just keep waiting for it? When did they finish it all?
Then you'll have to keep waiting for the paycheck too.
Team Leader, the merchandise codes came out today.
I see.
I heard from this season on the product code has been changed?
It is too cruel to expect from us to know the code of the product by only looking at it.
If you don't memorize it, what else can you do?
We'll be able to find a way if you look for it.
For example, a white t-shirt with yellow point, with no pocket on the left breast.
Something like this.
Like, dark-blue but close to black colored straight-leg pants with a button on the back pocket.
The pants that are stretchable so easy to move around in.
This is too long.
Just saying G308R372 is a hundred times better.
That's right Assistant Manager Ahn.
Admit it, you made a bet with the sales department Team Leader didn't you?
Ack.
Our team is going to win anyway so why do you care?
What are the prizes?
For the winner team musical tickets at the aisle. Two tickets.
Wow!
Then for the running up team they'll surely get prize themselves too. That is dinner!
Then we have to win! Since we get to get two prizes.
Of course Assistant Manager Ahn.
Fighting! Fighting!.
Mom, let's get up and eat lunch. Let's get some energy.
I'm not hungry. Let the hungry people eat.
Honey, should we go to the blood sausage place at Gwangjang Marketplace that you like?
My son-in-law Lee loves the blood sausage soup from that place.
Mom, let's go out and walk.
I saw it yesterday and the cherry blossoms are so pretty. Let's go look at the flowers. Hm?
My son-in-law Lee would say to me in Spring,
"Mother-in-law, let's go see the flowers".
And when you went crazy for golf, he said I was lonely
and he took me to the forest and the hot spring.
That's enough now, Ok Soon. Let's accept the reality now.
Accept what reality how?
Don't try to talk me out of it.
You . . . how did you feel when our Jin Young died?
It rained the day Jin Young died so for a long time we couldn't do anything whenever it rained and only cried.
Both you and me. Jin Joo too.
But see. Do we still do that?
We don't. We are sad and we are agonized but not as bad as when it first happened.
The fact that our hearts ache when we think about our Jin Young?
We buried that.
Jin Joo too. After her sister died, she used to just cry whenever she saw things her sister used to like.
But now she doesn't.
Honey, even we have buried it and forgotten it when we are her blood relations.
Wouldn't Son-in-law Lee be the same?
Yes, Mom. No matter how much Brother-in-law loved Unnie, it's been five years since Unnie left.
Brother-in-law is still too young, Mom.
How can he live his whole life just thinking about the dead.
Yeah. In place of our dead Jin Young,
we live our lives with our hearts pacified by watching Bin and Soo and our son-in-law who are alive.
Shouldn't Son-in-law Lee do that too?
Just think if he were your real son.
Would you leave him to just live so lonely without a partner?
You'd be pushing him out to date or remarry.
I know all that. I know all that too. But...
