The first 200 lines.
What are you doing?
Are you trying to reduce your stuff?
Yes.
Gosh. You're so shallow.
I didn't know you were so shallow.
Yes, sir.
1 room isn't enough. I must have 2.
Also, can you ask the landlord...
if he can lower the rent by 100 dollars?
Gosh.
Anyway, I'm in a rush. Please hurry up.
I don't mind a basement for 1 of the 2 rooms.
Yes. I'm in a rush. Please hurry up. Thank you.
I won't be able to take you if I move to a basement,
since there won't be a yard.
Mother. We're going to work.
Mom. We're going to work.
Go or stay. Do whatever you want.
- Mother. What's wrong? - Goodness.
What's wrong, Mom?
Goodness. I wish I could...
stitch your mouths up.
They're moving out. Are you happy now?
Why is that our fault?
It's because you didn't keep your mouths shut.
If you didn't say anything, we wouldn't have known...
that Yong and Kyung Ha dated.
Because you just couldn't keep your mouths shut,
so many people are in trouble now.
First, Kyung Ha's mother is not visiting this house anymore,
and she's trying to find a place to move out when she's short of money.
Gosh. You're not my children. You're enemies.
How could you say that?
We're still your children.
But Yong's mother is not your family.
No, she isn't,
but she's still better than my children.
Even though she's not family, she's better than my own children,
who only care for me because of my money.
That's really hard to hear.
She's a better friend than my own children.
I can talk to her about my problems when I'm in agony.
She asks me if I'm okay when I'm sick.
I can talk to her during the long, long winter nights.
I'm about to lose that person!
I don't want to leave either, Mrs. Park.
It was nice to live with you and rely on you like my own mother.
I guess this is as far as my luck goes.
What is this?
What is this?
If it's for the broker fee, Mrs. Park will give it to us.
You don't need to worry about that.
You gave me all your savings. You probably don't have much money.
I swear...
I'll make them kneel in front of you.
I'll make sure of that!
What's this about?
Did you have a job around here?
What's this?
You disrespected me and looked down on my family.
- Yong. - I was going to let you go.
I sincerely wished that you'd have a happy marriage, but not now.
There are some things I can't condone.
I cannot condone this kind of behavior.
I'm sorry.
You're leaving me and marrying that guy for money.
But you're giving me money before you get married?
Do you think I'm a beggar? That's how you see me, isn't it?
It's not that.
Don't let me see your worst side. I'm not that nice.
Even at this very moment, I'm holding back my urge...
to go visit that jerk, tell him everything, and ruin your marriage.
Can you tell Bok Soon that...
she doesn't have to move out?
That's what my mom wants, Hyun Sook.
You and Won Yong don't worry as much...
because Bok Soon is living with Mother. You know that's true.
Just like my mom said,
they have dinner and play cards together.
I think you thought wrong that...
Bok Soon should move out.
Did I tell her to move out?
Why are you blaming it on me?
Hyun Sook, these days,
breaking up after dating isn't that big of a deal.
I'm sure Kyung Ha and Yong think the same.
They will go back to being friends...
and hang out again in no time.
So you want us to go back to how it was before?
Fine. Then sell your store, Jong Yong.
I opened that store for you in exchange for your silence.
But since you two ran your mouths...
and caused trouble for everyone,
sell the store, and go back to the Philippines.
Hyun Sook, you're being too harsh.
We made a little mistake, that's all.
"A little mistake"?
Can you guarantee that you won't make the same mistake?
How can I trust that you won't talk about Yong...
and mention him at her wedding?
Well, that was...
At that time, I didn't know that those two were pretty serious.
Anyway, when Yong's family moves out,
you two can try to please Mother.
Spend time with her just like Bok Soon did.
I must get going to prepare for Kyung Ha's wedding.
- Wait. But... - Hyun Sook.
- They sent us the wedding gift? - Yes.
Where did you hear that?
I heard it from the manager who set them up.
Since we didn't respond to the gift after receiving it,
they wanted to know if we didn't like the gift or something.
Did you ask Kyung Ha about this?
No. I was going to ask her after I discussed it with you.
We should address this, right?
We should.
Do you think it's because Mr. Park heard...
what happened between her and Yong?
If that ruins her marriage,
I won't see Jong Yong and Myung Sun for the rest of my life.
I'll look into this.
How?
I should give you a realistic answer, right?
Yes.
It's not easy to legally prove that it was a sham divorce.
Why not?
I have all the evidence, and it's indisputable.
Before your stepmother filed for divorce,
your parents already settled that they'd get a divorce.
They got a fake divorce and continued living together.
It was up until recently.
There's a precedent from the Supreme Court.
Even if the divorce was carried out under an impure agenda,
as long as the divorce was filed with the consent...
from both parties, the divorce can't be annulled.
The law puts emphasis on that point.
Whether there was an intent that they tried...
to end their relationship or not.
Since they went to the court, the court recognizes that...
as an intent to divorce.
Then my stepmother...
isn't obligated to pay off my dad's debt.
That's right. She's not his wife anymore.
Then what should I do?
Renounce your inheritance now.
If you don't, others will suffer from it.
"Others"? Like who?
The debt will be carried over to...
your late father's siblings or cousins...
if you don't file the benefit of inventory.
I don't know if it's a good thing or not. He has no other family.
My dad was an orphan.
Then don't think about it, and file the disclaimer.
If you don't, a lien will be issued along with other things.
How can I not think about this?
Inheritance isn't just about money.
Money isn't the only thing that people inherit.
The legacy can hold sentimental values.
This is what crossed my mind.
"If I give up my dad's inheritance..."
"just because I don't want to pay back the debt, and I'm scared,"
"what will become of my father's life?"
That house...
That's the real legacy that my dad poured his soul into.
In the basement of my house, my dad had a kitchen.
Just like scholars have their research office,
To my dad, the kitchen was his research office.
My dad spent endless nights there...
and developed new dishes.
He woke me up from my sleep and made me taste the dish.
That kitchen is in that house.
How can I give it up that easily?
Father.
Mr. Kim.
I heard you left Korea. What happened?
I came back to take care of a few things.
How have you been?
It's the same with me.
I understand your assessment.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Gwang Jae, hold on.
I'm sorry. I have an urgent appointment.
I'll see you some other time. Goodbye.
Gwang Jae, give me a moment.
It was the very first house my dad ever bought.
That's why I was more attached to it too.
You're not...
on bad terms with your stepmother, right?
Try to compromise with her.
If there's no legal way, you should resolve it with her, right?
And you punk.
We thought you went abroad.
Where are you staying now?
I'm...
doing okay.
Where?
I'm staying at my friend's house. I'm okay.
Does your friend treat you well?
Of course.
