Live Your Own Life (Hyo Shim’s Independent Life / Hyosimine Gakjadosaeng / 효심이네 각자도생)

Thank you.

- We're here. Come on. - What?

You can get out. Watch your step.

- Is this your home? - Watch your step.

Careful.

Wait, this is where I live.

I should take you home instead.

- Why would we go to my place? - I should take you home.

- Mister. - Why would you take me home?

I'm sorry, but he's super drunk.

Can you take care of him? I apologize for this.

I...

Ms. Lee?

Take him inside.

Yes, sir.

But I should take Hyo Sim home.

Hyo Sim, can you make it home all right?

Gosh, hold on.

Hyo Sim can't make it home alone.

Watch your step.

Gosh.

Let me take you home, Ms. Lee.

No, it's all right.

But I had a drink, so I'll call you a cab.

Mr. Kang, you should head home.

I can go on my own from here.

I'm sorry.

About what?

That you vowed not to have dinner with me...

but then had drinks with Tae Ho?

Did you have soju?

It's what I smelled in the cab.

Ms. Lee.

Yes?

I'm going to say the most childish thing,

so brace yourself.

Why won't you have dinner with me?

Why won't you have drinks with me?

You met Tae Ho only three months ago,

but we've known each other for over three years.

Mr. Kang...

Do you...

have feelings for him?

Of course not. It's not that.

I just happened to run into Mr. Kang Tae Ho today,

and we ended up having drinks somehow.

He got wasted, so I helped him get home...

Tae Ho's on the cute side.

- Sorry? - He's friendly...

and is a people person.

He isn't intense and is quite witty.

It's all good,

but be with a man...

who takes you home no matter how wasted he is.

Good night.

I'll get going.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang, you can't leave after just saying your piece.

Why won't you let me answer?

I said this wasn't on purpose.

Why won't you listen to what I have to say?

That's enough.

We'll move on from this day the best we each can.

Although, I doubt I'll be able to sleep this off.

But...

Mr. Yeom, you must hurry.

I think TV Live has caught wind of our situation.

The number of elderly citizens who support their children...

that have yet to find jobs has been growing.

Not only do they support their children's education,

but also their expenses and weddings.

Have a seat.

They are being pressured...

by having to support their grandchildren with money...

and help their children with chores around the house.

This has been critical to elderly citizens...

- who are up for retirement. - Don't you like her?

Despite the decrease in revenue, expenses are still just as high.

Not again. You're being stubborn again.

If you think about it,

she's not too bad and is pretty in a way.

She may seem cheeky,

but she comes from a decent family...

and is relentlessly ambitious.

She also thinks quickly on her feet...

which will help her man achieve greater things.

Women know women the best.

Plus, she likes you.

If you were to take the plunge,

TV Live could become our ally.

Why hesitate?

If the brat gives you a hard time,

I'll teach her a few lessons after you get married.

Mother.

Could you let me decide who I marry?

Look at you.

You look me in the eye and talk back?

Are you being like your dad?

When it comes to important matters,

you won't listen to me...

because I used to work at a textile mill?

It's not that, Mother.

You know what I did to raise you!

Everyone looked down on me.

Especially your grandmother!

Since the day I moved in to marry your father,

until today,

she never considered me human. She treated me like I was common.

But I put up with it. Why?

Because of you.

To raise you well.

I thought if I raised you well,

my insignificant life would mean something.

So I poured all I had into raising you.

So how dare you look at me...

and talk back?

I'm sorry. I apologize.

You good-for-nothing fool.

How could you?

You came home quite late.

I had a drink.

Did you drink a lot?

I don't think so. Just enough?

How about you consider what others might see and think?

Instructor Lee brought you home helplessly drunk.

You could've gotten into trouble if not for her.

If you drank with her, you should take her home.

Isn't it rude to make her bring you home?

You seem to care a lot about my trainer.

I'm telling you to act with class.

"Class?"

As you know, I grew up overseas, practically alone.

I don't have class.

Do you know what kind of women I like?

The type that likes me.

I guess that's why women seem to want to look after me.

You could call that a win-win situation.

Instructor Lee's a woman too. Maybe she wanted to look after me.

Don't talk like that.

I believe our relationship ended...

with our altercation at the garage.

Let's forget it. I'm heading out.

She helped me get home?

Shoot.

My head's about to split.

Oh, gosh.

I must've had too much to drink.

I had a drink last night.

I'll cure my hangover with some chicken broth.

- First, a drumstick. - Don't.

Go away.

Wait. You didn't cook this for me?

Hyo Jun, your breakfast's ready!

Shoot.

- Hyo Jun! - Here it is.

- Come on over. - I'm coming.

- Sit down. - You're home, Hyo Jun?

Yes, to get a notebook I need for my studies.

You're not at work?

Here, eat up.

- Salt. - Yes, salt.

Here you go.

Is it good?

Was she fired?

I wasn't fired. I start in the afternoon.

Eat this to cut through the grease.

You don't have many clients, then.

We closed this morning for maintenance.

I'm a team leader and have the most clients.

A track and field athlete can't head a team.

- Hyo Jun. - Hyo Sim!

Don't stand there and yap while your brother's trying to eat.

Get him some green onion kimchi.

Now!

My gosh.

Will you eat more heartily?

I bet you barely eat while you study away from home.

Eat this up fast, then have the other drumstick.

What about me, Mom?

I'll make you some porridge with the broth.

Wait and eat that.

No, I won't.

Then don't.

If you don't work, don't eat either.

I just mixed this in with the sauce.

It'll be sweet and sour. Try some.

Open wide.

My gosh...

- Is it good? Good. - Yes.

Eat some more.

Darn it.

My gosh.

- Mom. - Yes?

The rice isn't cooked through.

It's not?

You're right.

You came in so suddenly...

that I was rushed and I didn't cook it properly.

It's fine.

I can get Hyo Sim to eat it for dinner.
