Episode 1.
I don't care who you choose to be with, but I won't let anyone take you away from me. That is my punishment to you. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 2.
You can't do anything alone in your life. At least for women, marriage is like that. All you have left is the past. You don't have the present or the future. You just live breathing. You just end up cutting yourself down. That's marriage. - Seo Young Hee
It changes. Everything, except women, will change. In the end, women who never change will be left alone. - Seo Young Hee
Men create an illusion with their lies, but women believe those lies to be true. - Seo Young Hee
I've become pretty used to him. If I become all by myself, I'll be sad. - Jung Hyo
Live alone, and no one will force their opinion on you. It's much better to live alone just like that. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 3.
I'm not the only one responsible, so we should divide the blame. - Jung Hyo
Episode 4.
That's how you lived too! You've been living that way. You've lived your life having kids here and there. Why is it okay for you but wrong for me? I don't want to live like you! - Han Min Soo
Episode 5.
A woman's educational background and work experience are only a sacrifice for marriage. The moment she gets married and give birth, everything she has accomplished in the past disappears. Men do not consider taking care of children as an economic activity. Women who become mothers turn into kind and patient pushovers. Because they want to give their children the nicest things possible, they naturally endure raising children alone. The moment a baby is born, a woman's time ends forever. - Seo Young Hee
Do people with power have the right to ignore the rules and other people's rights? - Kim Se Young
A man's clothing is like an armor. You can intimidate someone just with the clothes you wear. - Han Sang Jin
Pain and hatred exist because of love. I don't love my husband. That's why there is no pain, no hatred, and no memories. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 6.
Do you want to have the same life as others once you have a child, or do you want to give up the child for the life you want? - Seo Young Hee
Episode 9.
Why are you locking yourself up? Why are you making it hard for people to look for you? This is like a prison. Why do you lock yourself in prison when you have done nothing wrong? - Jung Hyo
If this place can't protect us anymore, we should go somewhere safer. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 10.
Young Hee: All people say they're doing fine even though they are afraid and scared.
Jung Hyo: I'm not scared. I just don't have the courage. I don't know what decision to make and how to face him.
You're just like me. You're holding on to someone who already left you. - Jung Hyo
You must not confuse hatred and guilt for life. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 11.
I feel sorry for you. You're too young to give up your life. You should have your own time more. - Seo Young Hee
When you become a mother, you become obsessed with making memories only for your family. Your own happy memories disappear. - Seo Young Hee
Obsession. That's a really scary thing, especially when motherhood and betrayal are mixed. - Han Min Soo
No one cares about your life. The mother's role is the only thing everyone talks about. "Your husband works hard outside," "The father earns money hard outside." Those remarks are heard like a spell that hypnotizes women. A spell which says, "I should live as a mother." - Seo Young Hee
Jung Hyo: Are you optimized for saying hurtful things to people?
Young Hee: I think it's better to face reality than to say something comforting. That's real consolation.
When women get their hands on something, we don't stop until we find out about their past and their friends' friends. - Lee Ah In
Don't talk like you're used to sadness. You want to be happy again. You want to live like you used to. - Jung Hyo
Being old doesn't mean you get used to being sad. - Seo Young Hee
If you mess with me again, I'll push both of you off the cliff. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 12.
Since we ended up knowing, we can't avoid it forever. We need to stand up to it. - Seo Young Hee
So Myung. A child meant to be called by destiny. Even if people oppose, this baby is precious because it was called by destiny. - Jung Hyo
Episode 13.
Must you force my child to have the same life I have? - Han Sang Jin
Episode 14.
I don't want people to say bad things about her. I'm worried that she'll get hurt by useless advice and false rumors. - Han Min Soo
Just giving birth doesn't make us parents. We become parents only after we take responsibility. - Han Min Soo
High expectations lead to great disappointments. - Seo Young Hee
That's what women do. You want things from your family which is maintained by your sacrifice because it's the only thing that represents you. Your husband's job will determine your social status and you believe that your child's grades are the product of your hard work. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 15.
You're friends. You need to resolve things as soon as you can. - Woo Nam Sik
To be a parent, I'm neither qualified nor confident yet. - Han Min Soo
I know that I'm being selfish, but I love her. She's the first person I fell in love with after escaping my mother who was like a prison to me. - Han Min Soo
I don't know how my family turned out to be like this. - Seo Young Hee
The most memorable memory for me must have been the most horrible memory for you. - Seo Young Hee
Will you remember me as a selfish woman and blame me too? - Seo Young Hee
Is there anything that I have not done for you except giving you a father? Just close your eyes and ignore all this. Trust your mother. - Kim Ok Ja
Episode 16.
I'm going to take care of you from now on. I'll make you happier than Dad did. - Han Min Soo
Don't you dare judge me with your victimized opinion. - Jung Hyo
Since I was a mistress, I just can't stand to let my daughter live as a mistress too. I lived dozens of years minding the mood of the lawful wife because I didn't want to be beaten to death by her. I can endure it. I could still endure everything even if I went back as long as my child would not remain as a worthless mother like me. I can endure everything. - Kim Ok Ja
Episode 17.
Since I've lived as a wench anyway, I will leave this world while carrying my daughter's sin on me. - Kim Ok Ja
I should be prepared. It doesn't matter if she gets an abortion or gives birth. Isn't that what a dad should do? - Jung Soo Cheol
Put off the things you don't have an answer yet. Even if you make a thorough plan, it can go awry. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 18.
Being a decent father is more important than money. - Moon Jong Won
They don't sound the same, but they mean the same. They're telling me to give up. - Jung Hyo
Episode 19.
Men can't feel it when their babies are yet to be born. And once they see their babies with their own eyes, they finally realize that they've become a father. - Jung Soo Cheol
Episode 20.
She devoted more than half her life to her family. Since she is cut off from the world, her family is everything of her life to her. - Han Hee Jin
I didn't want to see her locking herself up in betrayal, and I didn't want to see you being wrecked because of your sense of inferiority. - Han Hee Jin
Your job is my only hope that's left. Without that, I'll have my everything taken away. - Seo Young Hee
Your uniform represented me. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 21.
Your uniform was the prize I earned after taking care of you for decades. - Seo Young Hee
You and your dad, you are like death for me. - Jung Hyo's Mother
You are the only one who can give up everything for me. This I know for sure. - Jung Hyo
This is how Sang Jin and Min Soo take away everything I achieved. - Seo Young Hee
I'll get back on my feet. We'll fly again. - Han Sang Jin
I didn't want to see my mom getting comfort from my success. She didn't have her own life. She lived thinking it was her duty and she believed that was her life. After my dad left, mom faltered. She looked so insignificant and I hated her. - Han Min Soo
You reminded of my mom sometimes--a woman who is confident that everyone around her envies. You made me vividly remember how my mom was a long time ago. And I just felt like I became someone like my dad. I don't want you to become like my mom and I want to show you that I'm different from my dad. Although my dad didn't protect my mom's future, I want to protect yours. It might sound cruel, but I just don't want to be a man who sacrifices and ruins people as my dad did. - Han Min Soo
Episode 22.
He's useless now. He just lost what I'd lost. I'll let you have him. - Seo Young Hee
You're so pathetic. You devoted yourself to your son and your husband, but you did it just for your sake. - Kim Ok Ja
I wanted my son and husband to be like a diamond. I just wanted them to shine brightly. I believed that I was the sun. But it turns out, they were just rocks, not diamonds. A rock is useless. I should throw it away. He might be useful for someone else though. If you need him, just take him. I don't need him anymore. - Seo Young Hee
Young Hee: Both you and Sang Jin only thought about getting away from me! The two men for whom I sacrificed my everything!
Min Soo: We're not diamond but stones. She's that kind of a woman.
She throws away stones mercilessly and looks for a jewel that would replace her dream. Sacrifice? Who sacrificed for whom? You sacrificed yourself for us? No. Dad and I sacrificed ourselves to make you shine!
Young Hee: I've achieved things for decades, but they all disappeared with marriage. So I wanted to establish it through my husband and child.
That's how she left. - Seo Young Hee
Let's struggle together. - Han Min Soo
Episode 23.
The hope I had in you was once my happiness. You are taking my chance of having hope away. - Seo Young Hee
You won't change, so what am I hoping for? I happen to look forward to it, and the tiny hope called "maybe" happens to be everything for me. - Jung Hyo
Young Hee: You're taking away what's precious to me until the end.
Min Soo: Do you even know the meaning of precious?
Young Hee: Hope. That's very precious. At least to a married woman, hope can be the future as well as a dream.
I cried because you cried. I was scared to see you crying when I thought you were always strong. - Kim Se Young
Episode 24.
The more painful it is, the fiercer your language becomes. - Kim Ok Ja
Jung Hyo: Eomma.
Young Hee: My daughter. I guess you wanted to call me so.
Jung Hyo: Until now, no one answered me.
Young Hee: For many years, no one called for me.
Jung Hyo: I think we can be here for each other now.
Episode 25.
I've been living half of my life to keep my family together. - Seo Young Hee
Through her, I want to live my past self again. I want to find myself again and start all over. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 26.
I want to get over the trauma I have. I've always been trying to run away. I've never tried to stand against you and Mom. I couldn't say that it was your fault and I couldn't tell Mom not to live that way. I just accepted it. I accepted the whole situation. So I was afraid of the fact that I had to accept the life I didn't want. - Han Min Soo to Han Sang Jin
Episode 27.
I'm not uncomfortable to see me change because of you. I might fail a few times, but even those failures will make me excited. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 28.
She should have endured until the end if she was my mom. - Jung Hyo
You can tell me everything that's bothering you. Don't suffer by yourself. - Han Min Soo
I hate indecisiveness the most! - Han Hee Jin
Just thinking about you waiting for me is suffocating. -Jung Hyo's Mom
Episode 29.
Trying to defeat your father isn't a dream. For once, try to think of something you want to do. - Han Hee Jin
Episode 30.
Just denying it doesn't mean it'll be buried away like it never happened. - Kim Ok Ja
Jung Hyo: Why do you say mean things to each other?
Young Hee: We don't want to show our scars to each other. We haven't healed up enough to comfort each other yet. We're pushing each other away to hide our scars. The more we get close, the more we'll try to comfort each other.
I comforted myself that he doesn't love me anymore. I couldn't let it go and loved him alone. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 31.
I want to live upright even though it's a bit late now. - Han Sang Jin
Episode 33.
You shouldn't say goodbye to love. You should say goodbye to goodbye. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 34.
I know there will be hard times, but let's overcome them together. - Jung Soo Chul
Wounds that love leaves may be more painful than a farewell.
Episode 35.
If the rings show we are married, then these watches mean we promised to live in the same time... as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. - Han Min Soo
Episode 36.
Realizing your dream starts from being hurt. - Kim Ok Ja
Episode 37.
Why are you trying to take blame for my guilt? - Kim Se Young
I wonder how hard it must have been for you, being pushed around. Everyone forces us to act a certain way as a mother. 'A mom should be like this. A mom should be like that.' They force mothers to only love their child. And they say mothers should not be afraid or feel pain. People are harsh on mothers. - Seo Young Hee
An intact family is all I want. - Kim Se Young
She was my religion. I was happy just by looking at her, and that made me want to be with her more. It might have been because of my obsession on her, because I wasn't good enough for her, she ended up losing her smile. - Jung Soo Chul
You shouldn't live like me, I wish you could embrace the person you love and live together instead of causing them pain. - Jung Soo Chul
If someone will make a sacrifice, I will ve making that sacrifice. That's my life and obligation. My existence is like that. Only devotion and responsibility can make me be forgiven. If I don't have that, I will disappear. If you ask me to give up on that, do you think I will be able to? I can't. Then my value will disappear. Don't take away my rights. They became the only reason for me to live. - Han Sang Jin
Episode 38.
I guess all mothers are the same. Until they hear a word of gratitude from their children, they just can't give up being a parent. They just keep on living to hear that. - Seo Young Hee
Episode 39.
Se Young: Do you know what my dream was when I was young? It was to become a good wife and a wise mother. Ironically, I'm like this now.
Min Soo: Sacrificing yourself isn't the life of a good wife and a wise mother. No matter how hard you try, it's sad and meaningless if the people who receive your sacrifice aren't thankful. Make people always thankful and earnest for you.
Episode 40.
The conclusion is that we should all just be thankful to the parents who brought us into existence. - Jung Hyo
Young Hee: This is how you become a mother. The life of a mother begins with pain. Why do you think we're given such pain? To make us remember how painfully we gave birth to our child.
Jung Hyo: It's the most horrible pain I've ever felt in my life, but I can endure it.
Young Hee: No, your body becomes the weakest in the world but you pretend to be strong. It's your first lie as a mother. You even fool yourself by lying that a mom is strong.
Jung Hyo: Still I want to believe that lie is the truth.
Are you very tired? Do you want to just sit on the ground? It's okay. Just because you're on the ground doesn't mean you can't feel the cool breeze.
Did you lose someone? Is sadness eating you away? It's okay. Losing someone is just a process through which you're given a new love.
Are you miserable because misfortune won't leave you? It's okay. We're not good enough people to give up our happiness to misfortune.
Is your happiness coming too late? It's okay. That's just how late happiness will leave you.
