Did you sleep well?
We should get up.
Oh, no!
What am I going to do?
This is crazy!
I don't feel like getting up.
Me either. I just don't want to get up.
He has to go to work! What's he waiting for?
Why doesn't she just get up first?
Plate number 8379, that's your car, isn't it?
Yes, what is it?
I kept ringing the bell because you need to move your car!
Come out and move your car!
All done.
Have a nice day.
What are you going to do today?
Today? Well...
Maybe I should go grocery shopping.
Okay. Bye.
Have a good day.
What is it? I forgot something.
I forgot to kiss you.
Plate number 8379, pull over.
Please pull over, plate number 8379.
Didn't you see the red light? Was that a red light?
It was a red light!
I've never seen pink pineapple before!
That's not pink!
Look, ma'am, it's pink!
Hello!
It's a good morning!
You're recycling!
I'll come and help you!
Good-bye!
It's a great morning!
Hello! Good morning!
It's a great morning!
Jong-chan, where are you going?
It's a good morning!
- Prosecutor Park. - Yes?
How's the progress on the case so far?
- What are you doing? - Nothing.
Why isn't she answering the phone?
Hello?
What took you so long to answer the phone?
I told you I was going grocery shopping. What is it?
I miss you.
What?
I said I called because I miss you!
I can't hear you! Say it louder!
I said I called because I miss you!
Kwon Hyuk-joon!
The fire has finally been ignited!
I miss you too.
Again?
Hello?
Ga-young?
Okay, I'll see you there.
She acts like she's happy to hear from me, that witch!
How can I tell Ga-young to throw in the towel?
Breaking up Hyuk-joon's marriage is out of the question
now that they're getting along well.
I shouldn't have gotten involved.
Attorney Moon's out of the office.
I should've called first.
You can wait for her since she'll be back soon.
All right.
Is Attorney Moon here?
She's not here at the moment. How can I help you?
I went to law school with her.
You went to where with her?
I came to give her a present to congratulate her on opening the office,
since I couldn't give her a wedding present. Will you give these to her?
Wait!
What did you just say?
Did you just say "wedding"?
You forgot to take this with you last time. I forgot to give it to you at the hospital.
Thank you.
You don't have to thank me.
What is it that you're taking?
The elders in the family bought herbal medicine to help you conceive.
It's an herbal remedy.
I bet I know what it is. Your first duty is to give them an heir, isn't it?
I was upset about losing Hyuk-joon, but I think it was all for the best.
I'd hate to be the wife of the firstborn.
But you should do your best and give them an heir.
Ga-young, why are you speaking to me formally?
- What? - You used to speak casually to me.
Is that a problem?
You should just talk to me like you used to.
Hello?
Sun-ah!
Really? Do you want to come here?
Okay.
Sun-ah wants to talk to me. I guess she wants to continue helping me.
Sun-ah!
What are you doing here?
- We have something to talk about. - What's that?
Perhaps about your wedding?
How could you do that?
You hid the fact that you got married in America!
I never hid anything from you. You never asked!
How can you say that? Either way, you defrauded me!
- Sun-ah. - Ga-young.
Do you even know the meaning of the word fraud?
It means to deceive someone for one's financial gain.
Did I gain anything financially by not telling you I was married?
Get your facts straight!
Don't you know I could sue you for slander for falsely accusing me?
What? Sue me?
Now you don't even care what I think of you?
That's right. I have nothing to be afraid of.
I just thought of one more thing.
You could also get in trouble with the law for defamation of character.
Look at you!
How dare you accuse me of such a thing!
- Please calm down! - Shut up!
You really are horrible!
You want to sue me for slander and defamation of character?
I was crazy to ask you to get back together with Hyuk-joon!
I need to teach you a lesson.
You want to resort to violence now? You're just like your sister-in-law!
What?
I'd like to remind you that you two could be charged with assault
if you lay a finger on me.
What? Why, you!
Please stop it!
Let go! Are you going to let her get away with this?
I'm going to give it to her!
Please stop it!
If you don't want to be charged with a crime, you should stop Sun-ah.
Look, Sun-ah.
I admit I wasn't in the right, but neither were you,
trying to break up your brother's marriage!
- Are you finished? - Yes, I'm finished.
So I'm leaving. You should be ashamed of yourself!
Hey, stop right there!
Let go of me!
Sun-ah!
I can't believe it! Unbelievable!
Sun-ah, calm down. You weren't in the right either.
What? What did you just say?
Are you taking her side?
I'm not taking anyone's side.
Are you my sister-in-law? You should've helped me beat her!
This is so infuriating!
You're so annoying!
Sister-in-law? Does she acknowledge me now as her sister-in-law?
They're so funny.
They act so proper, but yet they want to beat each other?
I can't understand them.
What should I do with this medicine?
What is this?
The elders gave it to me. You should take it.
It's good for your health.
- I know what it is. - What is it?
It's to help you conceive.
That's amazing! Does it say that on it?
How can everyone know that?
Make sure you take it regularly. You need to give them an heir.
Mom!
What? I have to work all night?
Why do I have to work all night unexpectedly?
Don't they know it's against the labor law?
They should abide by the labor law! Why are you so worked up?
It's not the first time we have to work all night.
You always work the hardest.
Let's get some dinner. Okay.
Come on!
- I have a previous engagement. - What is it?
I'll be back before the dinner hour's over, so go ahead.
Hyuk-joon!
Ah!
He won't have enough time.
You're home!
I'm home.
- You finished work already? - No, I have to go back after dinner.
I have to work all night.
- So you won't come home tonight? - No, I can't.
It's all right. Let me get you a new shirt and socks.
You shouldn't open the door without asking who it is.
What if it hadn't been me at the door?
- I knew it was you. - How did you know it was me?
- I knew it was you. - How?
Your footsteps.
I know it's you just by your footsteps, and I know how you're feeling.
You're feeling... Not bad tonight.
Jung-sook.
The fact that it's not soundproof is one of the good things about living here.
- Make sure you lock all the doors. - Don't worry, and just work hard.
What's that?
That?
- It's medicine. - Medicine?
You should take it! It's good for your health!
So you should take it to the office and take it!
Mister!
Thanks, Jung-sook.
You don't have to thank me.
You should get going. You're going to be late.
It's okay if I'm late.
Plate number 8379, are you going to keep this up?
I told you not to double-park! Move your car!
Sun-ah!
I was going to go to An-dong, but I thought I should tell you!
How could Ga-young do what she did when she was married?
I had no idea what a bad person she was!
And that horrible personality of hers!
She was married?
I won't talk about her anymore, since she's out of the picture.
What's more infuriating is your wife!
What did she do?
No matter what, I'm her sister-in-law.
But she never helped me when I was fighting with Ga-young,
and she told me that I wasn't in the right!
But it's true that you weren't in the right.
What? Not you too!
You're my only brother, but you have no idea how I feel!
I'm leaving!
Sis.
- What's that doing here? - That?
- Jung-sook gave it to me. - What?
- Do you know what it's for? - What?
How dare she give that medicine to Hyuk-joon!
I'll just...!
Sun-ah!
What's wrong with her?
- What? Is that true? - Yes, sir.
Hyuk-joon's taking the medicine that you bought for his wife.
Oh, my!
Sun-ah, why are you telling us this now?
I thought the elders should know.
Please forgive me if I was out of place.
No, I'm glad you told us!
We shouldn't be in the dark about this!
We don't need to be concerned about Hyuk-joon's wife
if she doesn't appreciate our concern. We won't bother anymore!
We're leaving! Let's go!
You shouldn't leave now!
Look here!
I'm really worried about our family now!
So am I!
Look here!
I understand you're hurt, but be understanding.
I want to, but her behavior's unacceptable!
How could she be a good daughter-in-law
when she doesn't appreciate our concern for her?
It said a lot about her character
when she was a no-show at the dinner last time!
That's right! I knew it then!
But you were happy with her when she recited lines
- from the Petition to Engage in Battle. - Petition to Engage in Battle?
Her flaw is that she's still young. Don't be hurt by her actions.
Please be understanding of her one more time.
We'll forget about this incident since you're pleading with us.
- Will you? - But under one condition!
Prosecutor Kwon!
- Did you work all night? - Yes, I did.
You should get some rest.
I'll feel better after I go home and wash up.
Grandfather!
A family meeting of daughters-in-law?
- Mister! - Jung-sook!
Will you be okay going alone?
Sure. I went alone last time too.
It'll be fun to meet all the other daughters-in-law.
I wonder if there's another troublemaker like me.
Don't worry. You trust me, don't you?
Sure.
Let's go.
- I should go now. - Yes, you should.
- Mister. - Jung-sook, I won't call you.
What?
I won't call you, so you shouldn't call me either.
Why?
Because I'll miss you even more and resent being alone if I hear your voice.
- Mister... - You should go.
Have a safe trip.
It's not as if I can't see him anymore...
Jung-sook...
- You must be tired from your trip. - I'm all right.
What's the meeting about?
- It's all because of you. - What?
Why did you give Hyuk-joon the medicine the elders bought for you?
How did...?
The elders are upset about the incident.
But if you do well at the meeting, they'll forgive you.
That's what the meeting's about...
- Grandfather, Uncle, I apologize. - Yes, you should.
You shouldn't have ignored the concerns of the elders.
You'll learn a lot during the meeting.
Sun-ah will help you, so don't worry too much.
Yes, sir.
Sun-ah!
I told the elders about the medicine.
Are you hurt?
No, I was wrong.
I'm glad you see that.
I don't have to explain how important this meeting is, do I?
No.
There are two rules you have to abide by
as the host family for the meeting.
The first is to make only the family's traditional dishes.
And the second is that you have to make all the food yourself.
You'd better work hard if you don't want to be humiliated.
I'll do well. I can do well!
Mister, I'll do a good job!
- Are you ready? - Yes!
Let's start with Goojulpan.
The trick to this dish is the slicing of the ingredients.
You have to slice them as thin as possible.
Next, the mung bean pancakes.
It seems like an ordinary dish, but it's difficult to make it right.
The trick to this dish is how well you can flip the pancakes.
The last one is dessert cake, the pride of our family.
The right temperature is everything with this dish.
I knew you had no cooking skills! But this is ridiculous!
You don't know how to do anything!
I'm sorry! I'll practice all night.
Practicing all night isn't going to help you!
Do it all yourself!
How am I going to do this? I can only make bean paste stew.
Why aren't you eating? You like bean paste stew.
Yes, I like bean paste stew.
You haven't called Jung-sook since she went to An-dong.
Did you two fight again?
We didn't fight.
Then why aren't you calling her? Why?
A bachelor wouldn't know.
You're hurting my feelings!
- What are you doing? - I should go to An-dong.
An-dong? But you have to work tomorrow!
I'll come right back after I see her. See you.
- What is this? - The recipes.
What?
Aunt and I will make all the dishes, so you just memorize the recipes.
Then you can act like you made them.
You want me to lie?
- You can't do it? - Do I have to resort to lying?
- I don't think I can lie. - You can't lie?
Do you think I like doing this?
It's the first meeting in 16 years since my father declared
that he couldn't carry out the responsibility of being the firstborn.
Do you know how long I've waited for this day?
Sun-ah.
To be frank, I don't like you. I don't think you're good enough.
But we might as well make the best of it.
It'll be our family, not you, that the others will be judging.
Do you still want to tell them that you don't know how to do anything?
The choice is yours.
Why am I such an idiot?
- Hello? - Is this Yoon Jung-sook?
- Yes, this is she. - You have a delivery.
A delivery?
A delivery at this hour?
There's no one here.
Was I dreaming?
Mister!
How've you been?
- You came without eating dinner? - No.
- You should eat too. - No, you should enjoy it.
I'm going to finish it then.
- I should go see Grandfather. - He's sleeping.
- Should I tell him you're here? - No, I have to go back soon.
Why weren't you sleeping yet?
Me?
- I was studying. - Studying?
I had to study something.
Is it about tomorrow's meeting? I'm sorry.
You wouldn't have to endure this hardship if I weren't the firstborn.
If you weren't the firstborn, we never would've met!
What? That's true!
Actually, I'm worried. Do you think I'll do well tomorrow?
Jung-sook.
I just remembered I have to give you something. Stay right here.
Mister!
They wouldn't have thrown it away.
What is this?
It's a treasure chest from my childhood.
A treasure chest?
- This is your treasure chest? - Yes!
Do you know how hard it was for me to collect all this?
Look at this!
- Do you want to try it? - No, it's so old!
Take it. This is what I wanted to give to you.
This is my good luck charm.
I kept it in my pocket every time I had to take a test.
- Thanks to this, I got lots of 100's. - Really?
Then I can do well tomorrow if I have this?
You don't have to do well. It's good enough if you give it your best.
Mister.
Don't worry! My good luck charm will protect you!
Thank you, Mister!
I have 10 more minutes before I head back to Seoul.
Jung-sook.
What should we do for 10 minutes?
Jung-sook.
- Sing me a song. - A song?
A song...
I'll sing you a good song.
It has 1/3 of a cup of sweet rice, a tablespoon of oil,
and a tablespoon of soju. You mix it all together.
The ingredients for Goojulpan are beef, mushroom, egg, cucumber, and...
The guests are here. Come out.
Sun-ah, I memorized everything, so don't worry.
Just come outside.
You don't have to do well. It's good enough if you give it your best.
I'm sorry, Mister. I know it's wrong, but I want to do well.
- Do you see that lady in the red dress? - Yes.
She's from the Poong-san Ryu family.
She's an expert on old sayings and ancient writings.
But she always asks only one thing.
Do you know what it means to acquire knowledge through each other?
It means we grow through teaching and learning from one another.
I'm impressed. You should always keep that in mind.
She's from the Ye-san Kim family. She's very hard to please.
But she's a pushover when it comes to her grandson.
I understand your 6-year-old grandson is very bright.
How did you know?
He already memorized his multiplication tables.
I really like you.
She's from the Ui-sung Kim family. There's no getting around her.
Just let her scold you.
You have to raise your arms a little.
You have to straighten your shoulders a little.
You can't step on the cushion!
Just smile if you don't know how to answer them.
- That's your area of expertise anyway. - Okay
Who's that? She looks young.
The matriarch of the Young-chun Lee Family and her daughter-in-law.
I have nothing to tell you about her other than
that she's the best of all the daughters-in-law.
She's sort of like me.
She's nothing like you.
She seems like she's my age. We could be friends.
Friends?
You have to be from the same background to be friends.
She's absolutely nothing like you!
She's the best in everything, including cooking and etiquette.
She has no flaws at all.
The only flaw she has is...
That she hasn't conceived yet.
Let's go inside.
You're going to have to take over the family household.
- When do you intend on coming? - Pardon?
Do I have to come here?
It'll take a little time, since my brother is a public servant.
But he'll come and take care of the family matters.
Yes, he should.
- Any good news yet? - Pardon?
I'm talking about a baby.
But they're in more need of a baby. Any news yet?
No.
I'm sure she'll conceive in time. I'm not worried.
I'm sure you're worried.
It's something to be worried.
You don't need children, as long as your marriage is strong.
Don't worry. I have no intention of having a baby yet.
How could she say that?
Thank you for your concern,
but you shouldn't speak so lightly about a person's problem.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
My sister-in-law made a special lunch for you.
She started making it all last night. Please enjoy.
Did you really make all this, young bride?
What?
Yes...
I'm very impressed.
She's perfect as the daughter-in-law of this family.
The food is really good.
Look at how she sliced the ingredients for this. Isn't this beautiful?
The dessert is very good as well.
How did you ever make this taste so good?
The key to making it right is to get rid of all the fat to make it nutty and soft.
Is this the famous Kwon family's dessert?
Yes, it is.
The flavor and appearance are both good.
How in the world did you make this?
The color is from soaking an herb in oil.
Then I soaked another herb to make the yellow color.
And then I used sesame seeds for the black and white colors.
A lot of care goes into making the dish. I'm very impressed.
The hot sauce is a little too thick. I think it needs more of something.
It needs something? Should I add more water?
Add water?
Don't you add water?
How strange... You seem to be such an expert in cooking,
and yet you don't know that you should add pear puree to the hot sauce?
What?
Did you really make all the food?
Why are you leaving already? Stay longer.
We've stayed long enough, sir.
My granddaughter-in-law still needs to learn a lot about cooking.
I wouldn't say that exactly. I'd say she needs to build more character.
She almost fooled us.
That young girl has a lot to learn.
Were you both out of your minds? They didn't come to eat the food!
They came to meet you!
All you had to do was do your best but with care!
But Grandfather, it's been 16 years since...
I didn't tell you to help Jung-sook
so you could show off your cooking! You should've let her take care of it!
I'm sorry.
Listen carefully, Jung-sook.
The women who came today have sacrificed their lives for their families.
The reason I asked them to meet you,
knowing you're lacking in so many ways is so that you could learn from them.
It wasn't so that you could impress them!
I'm sorry, Grandfather.
How dare you deceive them!
You're excused!
Sun-ah!
This would never have happened if you hadn't made that mistake!
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I was a fool to think you could pull it off. I won't expect anything from you anymore!
She really hasn't called just because I told her not to call.
Then I'll call!
Hello?
I'm not calling because I miss you.
You thought that's what I'd say?
Actually, I'm calling because I miss you. Did you do a good job at the meeting?
- You know I wouldn't have. - Jung-sook, did something happen?
Yes, I made a big mistake.
- Mister, I can't talk right now. - Jung-sook.
Are you crying?
No.
I'm all right.
I'm really all right.
I wonder what happened?
Mister, how...?
How could I sleep when you were crying?
Why did you take a day off to come down here?
I'm sure your wife told you.
Yes, I understand Jung-sook...
Sir.
How could she even think she could fool everyone?
I'm so ashamed! It's shameful to the whole family!
Please don't be upset, sir. She's reflected on her mistakes.
I'm sorry, please forgive me. It won't ever happen again.
That's enough!
I'll just tell you what our final decision is regarding the incident.
Don't think about going back to Seoul for a while.
But, sir.
It's important to be a supportive wife, but we have to teach you the things
you need to know to be the wife of a firstborn.
So you should stay in An-dong and learn the things
you need to be a proper daughter-in-law.
She can't do that, sir.
- Hyuk-joon, you stay out of this. - Grandfather.
- She has to learn if she needs to. - That's right!
We'll each take part in teaching her the necessities.
I'll be in charge of teaching you the history of our family.
- I'll take care of teaching you calligraphy. - My wife will teach her about etiquette.
My daughter will teach her about raising children.
But she doesn't have children yet.
She'll have children someday!
When is that someday?
How would I know when that will be? You shouldn't ask me!
- When are you going to start a family anyway? - Pardon?
Stop it! What are you talking about here?
I'll make sure everything's done the correct way.
So, Jung-sook,
you should never think about trying to fool anyone like you did yesterday.
Yes, sir.
Hyuk-joon, you shouldn't be too hurt by our decision.
Sir, breakfast is ready.
You didn't have to make breakfast.
Jung-sook!
Mister!
