Our Sticky Love (이런 엿같은 사랑)

OUR STICKY LOVE

This is so nice.

That's right!

Today's your birthday. Is there anything you want to do?

I never thought about it.

Want to go see my family?

What?

I have family too.

A grandmother who accepts me without any questions.

I just asked my family to return.

Do you have a problem with that?

Sisters who always have my back.

I was your closest friend in the village.

A friend with the purest of hearts, and a…

Slightly older brother-in-law.

A slightly older brother-in-law.

You can ask me to run errands as much as you want.

And a dutiful younger brother.

I miss them all so much.

This is nice.

I'll have grilled whole potatoes, sausage, and rice cake skewers.

What about you?

Oppa , come here.

Oppa , should we get coffee?

I want an iced mocha. You?

Oppa , do you have a hole in your chin?

This is really good.

Oppa , say "ah."

Oppa , you okay?

Jang Tae-ha.

Yeah?

I asked what you're going to eat.

Right. I'll have what you're having.

Two butter-grilled potatoes, two sausage and rice cake skewers, please.

Here, look at this.

- Goodness, ma'am! - Why?

- Ma'am. - Did you go grocery shopping?

Yes.

It's Tae-ha's birthday today.

Wait. Is that so?

Yes.

That's right. Tae-ha's birthday was around this time of year.

- You're right. - Today's his birthday.

Oh, I see you're all here. Jeong-hwa is back.

- Careful. - Jeong…

- Jeong-hwa. - Hello.

- I'm back. - Jeong-hwa.

- Are you feeling better? - Yes.

While I was hospitalized,

we got to spend time glued to each other, like newlyweds again.

Thank goodness the car accident wasn't worse.

- Exactly. - Yes.

It's Tae-ha's birthday today, so we hurried over here.

Ma'am, I'll help you with the food later.

- Goodness, no. - You don't need to help.

We'll help out.

- I'm fine. - You should rest.

I'll help out too!

Eun-sae!

- Grandma! - Oh, yes. Goodness me.

Good heavens, what's happening?

Goodness, you're here.

Ms. Prosecutor.

I thought I was Tae-ha's wife here, not a prosecutor.

What's going on?

I thought you'd never come here again.

That's impossible.

Because our connection…

is like taffy.

That's right.

Welcome back.

- Ladies. - Welcome back.

- I missed you. - Me too.

Well done for coming back.

We only got to see you on TV.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Jang Tae-ha

Happy birthday to you

- Make a wish. - Go on.

We can hear you.

He's like a kid.

- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Thank you all so much.

Tae-ha, is there anything you want?

It'll be our treat.

Come on, Hui-ja.

What could we possibly give him

that would compare to the gift he already received?

That's true.

His fake bride has become his real bride.

What gift could possibly top that?

Oh, come on.

You two sure took the long way around.

Now all that's left is for them to live happily ever after like us.

Now that I think about it,

they're the spitting image.

Sorry?

Who is?

Her and Tae-ha's mom.

Sorry?

Me and Tae-ha's mother?

32 YEARS AGO

Are your feet cold?

How pretty.

Along the fruit farm path Outside the village

The African flowers are in full bloom

Isn't it "acacia"?

Pardon?

Acacia.

Acacia.

You look like you're from out of town, not from Gujin.

That's right.

I came after hearing about a dishwashing job that came with room and board,

but they already hired someone.

How old?

Six months.

No, I meant…

There's a sink full of dishes back at my place too.

I guess you could stay with me tonight if you have nowhere else to go.

What are you doing?

Don't stand around. Lay him in there and get him comfy.

Thank you.

The sunset is so pretty from here!

It's so spectacle.

"Spectacular."

I was planning on going to night school once the baby's a bit older.

You don't look that old yourself, lady.

I'm 23.

So I'm technically a young lady.

I guess so.

My daughter would be your age if she were still alive.

And the baby's dad?

He's not around. I'm raising him on my own.

No parents to rely on?

None.

That's why I'm four in one.

His grandma, grandpa, and dad. I'll be everything for him.

A baby doesn't need a smart mom who went to college.

The best mom is one who showers her baby with love.

I'll cook dinner today to repay you for letting us stay the night.

Well, if you say so.

Please try it.

Golly, you make a mean gochujang stew.

Where did you learn to make this?

I've just made it a lot.

Because someone likes it.

Didn't you say you're four in one?

You should eat four times as much so you have the energy to raise your baby.

No one really knows how my Tae-ha's life will turn out.

Just look at The Last Match .

It looks like Son Ji-chang's team will win,

but in the end, Jang Dong-gun makes a dunk,

and his team wins.

Life is like a basketball game.

My Tae-ha may not have the best luck when it comes to parents,

but who knows if he'll throw down a huge dunk later in life?

Who says he's unlucky?

Look at those chubby cheeks of his.

They're so chubby, they might burst any minute.

You're like a skewer, and yet you've fed him so well.

You can search all over the country.

There aren't many mothers as admirable as you.

I'm admirable?

Of course.

With no one to rely on, you still protected your child with all your might.

If you're not an admirable mother, who is?

If you have nowhere to go,

do you want to just stay here and make taffy with me?

Really?

I'll even throw your baby a great first birthday party.

Hurry and eat up.

Goodness, I doubt you're even eating regular meals.

Here, have some hairtail.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY

The baby is the star of the show. Why would I dress up?

Please hold still.

A first birthday photo is forever. His grandma should be pretty.

There.

- That's enough. - All done.

All right.

Okay.

Let's see what our Tae-ha will pick.

- All right. - What's your pick?

Okay, Tae-ha. Which one of these takes your fancy?

Let's grab one.

Good boy. The gavel.

Grab the gavel. Go on.

That's it. Good boy.

She lived a lonely life without any belongings in the world to call her own,

and yet she never lost heart and stayed so bright.

And just like a certain someone, she hated being called "lady."

Seeing you with such a good person and being so affectionate with her…

I'm sure Tae-ha's mom is smiling

way up there.

Yes.

She's probably smiling with happiness.

- I'm sure she is. - Yes.

Tae-ha's mom, thank you for the food!

Thank you for the food!
