The first 200 lines.
Leave us. You too, Bong Ja.
I'll be at the door.
Was it you?
Was it you all along?
Did I eat...
and goof around with my attacker?
You, who took a beating from my creditors for me...
and injured his arm in the process?
I'm sorry.
I'm terribly sorry.
Do you have any idea how dumbfounded I am?
I do,
so do as you wish until your anger subsides.
I'd rather you just kill me.
Did you even think about me?
Were you sorry for what you did?
I went on with my life justifying my actions.
But whenever I hit a roadblock in life,
memories of that incident struck me like lightning.
I knew I was being punished for what I did.
If only I had paid for my actions back then.
My mom only said this one thing.
"Boys will be boys."
Because she cleaned up for my mess,
I'd go around causing trouble.
I feel relieved to have gotten caught.
Ever since I got wind you were looking for me,
I haven't been able to properly eat or sleep.
I was too scared of the consequences.
Is that why you were fleeing to China?
To avoid punishment yet again?
Of course not.
It wasn't the punishment I was scared of.
What scared me was facing the person I had hurt.
Talk about a messed up situation.
I'm sorry.
I'm truly sorry.
Don't bother to forgive someone like me.
No one would look for me if I dropped dead anyway.
So do as you wish until your anger washes away.
Taeng Ja, don't do anything.
Consider Ttu Gi and let me act on your behalf.
I'd want nothing else to end it right here,
but I have a daughter to consider.
I won't get blood on my hands,
so get up.
Lead the way.
You'll finally receive your punishment.
I'm sorry to say this,
but this took place in 1980 which was 41 years ago.
A special act was established in 1994,
but the statute of limitations has run out on this case.
It's only ten years, you see.
How is that fair?
Who came up with the statute of limitations anyway?
My sister hasn't forgiven him,
so who dares to have forgiven him on her behalf?
The law should be on the victim's side.
Who is the law supposed to protect? Who says that he can be forgiven?
Detective,
put me behind bars.
She should see justice.
Just arrest me on any charge you like.
I'll take any punishment that comes my way.
I truly am sorry for this.
Is there nothing we can do then?
At this moment, I'm afraid so.
Taeng Ja!
Taeng Ja!
My gosh. What is this?
What's going on?
You dirtbag.
Being a loan shark doesn't give you the right to cause such harm.
You must've been quite a nuisance for her to collapse like this.
This is just wrong!
Cheol Soo, please don't.
People like him should be taught a lesson.
Even people without money have dignity.
Cheol Soo, stop it!
What's gotten into you? He should know his place.
Didn't she borrow money from a loan shark?
No, that's not it.
He's Ttu Gi's biological father.
What?
As if that makes any sense!
You said the father is the head chef at the jjimdak place.
And he's that head chef.
Gong Chae, thank you for today.
But he's still just a kid.
Actually, he's a grown man.
This is just wrong.
Why did she collapse then?
You don't need to know.
Oatmeal.
Let's go. Come on.
My gosh!
Blessing, are you all right?
Why? What is it?
Why are you so careless?
He could've been hurt. Doors injure kids badly!
Blessing should be fine.
You had me startled.
I bet that was scary. Are you all right?
Yes, you're good. Of course you are.
That's it. You're fine.
You seem to have a strained tendon,
so take it easy for the time being.
Mother, I'm about to head home.
Should I pick something up to eat? What would you like?
You're on your own for lunch today. We're here to see Blessing's mom.
At the charnel house?
Byun Ho too?
Of course.
Gwang Nam?
Are you off somewhere?
To bring Ye Seul some snacks since he's rehearsing.
Why?
I was hoping to have lunch with you.
I'm sorry, but not today.
Hey, honey.
I was just heading out. Sure thing.
I'll get going then.
All right. Do you miss me that much?
I'll be there in a flash.
What are you up to?
I'm sorry, Gwang Nam, but I'm a little busy.
Can I call you back later?
But Gwang Tae...
- Blessing, we're here. - We're here.
We're home.
Do you want to go to Dad?
- Go to Dad. - All right.
- "Grandma." - "Thanks, Dad."
You're alone in your life where you slap and encourage yourself.
Even your spouse is a stranger after all.
It's all blue again.
I just hate blue so much.
Look. She's buying up the whole department store again.
That's what she does every day.
I told you not to bother.
What if she will throw away all of your fortunes?
I can't take this anymore.
Hey. Sa Chae!
He's showing excessive loyalty to me.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Hello?
Where are you, Gwang Nam?
I feel bad that I left you behind earlier.
Where are you?
Oh, no. How are your shoulders?
The doctor said I have a strained tendon.
I felt down, so I went to see you, but you went straight to Ye Seul.
I don't know what Gwang Tae was doing, but she was too busy to talk.
I had nowhere else to go.
You should've met your friends.
I don't see my old friends anymore.
When they just go golfing, travel around,
and visit fancy restaurants, how can I hang out with them?
That's what all my friends are doing.
Or they are just busy raising their babies.
You know I didn't want to have kids.
I don't want to explain how I ended up raising Blessing.
I heard some of them even gloat over my situation.
There are people who like to speak ill of others.
Don't mind them.
Why did you not go to Auntie?
She's sharp-witted. I didn't want her to see me like this.
And if Dad saw me, he would've been worried.
Now that you guys are married, I feel lost and lonely.
It's not like we left you alone and got married.
You were the first one to get married.
You left me and Gwang Tae when we were young.
I know.
I guess I was sitting here for about three hours.
A lot of people came and left.
They all looked happy, but I'm...
I used to come here a lot with Byun Ho.
I was happy back then.
It hasn't even been a month, but now...
I feel like I'm all alone in the world.
You're not alone.
See? We are wearing the same rings. Why do you think you're alone?
We're connected to each other.
Without telling me,
Byun Ho went to see Maria with Blessing and Mother.
He didn't tell you?
For no special occasion?
No.
I saw him get off the car with Mother and Blessing.
I felt left out.
And I feel like I'm just a nuisance to them.
You should tell Byun Ho that you're upset.
I can't.
I'm not sure...
if things will get better after I tell him.
He looks like a different person now.
In the past, he would come running and asked if I was okay.
But he cared only about Blessing...
and yelled at me. I just can't forget the look on his face.
