Episode 13
Are you on your way
Scared? You're a celebrity now-your picture's all over the Internet.
Let's not talk about that, I want to die thinking about it.
You're a troublemaker Ha Sun.
I don't why these things always happen to me, it's as though--
-What do we do? -What's so scary about a dog tied to a pole?
Oh my gosh...
Don't do that!
-Why are you so scared? -Stop it! Stop!
You're also a scaredy cat.
Stop teasing me.
You really get scared easily.
Where is that barking coming from?
Everyone listen up.
This year, for our school's 20th anniversary event,
we will have guests attending from our sister school in Edmonton, Canada so--
-Yoon Gun. -Yes?
Please stop sitting on the window sill all the time.
You have a seat for a reason!
I'm sorry.
So since we'll be having special guests from Canada,
we agreed that the staff and drama students will put on a joint play.
Ji Sun, have you decided what we're doing?
Empress Myung Sung
Is the fried egg done yet?
It's done.
Why do you want fried egg? So annoying...
I told you not to pop the yolk.
It happens sometimes. Just eat it.
It's so hot.
I like eating the raw yolk.
How hard is it to not pop the yolk?
You just have to flip it over lightly.
You can't even do that right.
Don't eat it!
I made it because you wanted it.
You try making it yourself on that sticky pan! You do it!
What just happened? What's wrong with her?
Mom what's wrong? You should eat!
Unbelievable.
What did I do? Did I do something wrong?
You should have just eaten it. Why did you have to give her such a hard time?
I can't even comment on my popped yolk? Why is it always my fault?
And is it normal for her to throw away food like that because I complained about it?
I told you Nae Sang, women have drastic mood swings
during menopause because of the hormonal changes occurring.
Blame it on the menopause again?!
Good work with getting the scripts Ji Sun.
We gotta do a good job since we have foreign guests coming.
Since the students need to focus on their studies, the staff should take on the larger roles.
Who's going to be Empress Myung Sung?
I am Chosun's empress.
[Japanese]
Hold on. Where does it say 'arigato' here?
I was just kidding...
Don't play around and go according to the script!
Thanks for working so hard.
What are you doing here sir?
I was just passing by. Are rehearsals going well?
Yes, we just started going over the lines.
We look forward to it. I heard you're doing Empress Myung Sung. Who is the Empress?
I am.
Ji Sun found the scripts for us and also was part of the drama club in school.
One moment.
Thank you all for your hard work.
Good bye.
What did he just say?
I'm really sorry but...
It looks as though Ha Sun will have to take on the role of the Empress.
-Excuse me? Me? -Why? What is the reason?
He said that the Empress needs to have a sophisticated look and...
So what? I'm not sophisticated enough? I have never been told such a thing in my life.
No, it's not just sophisticated...
Empress Myung Sung needs to represent a classic Korean beauty so--
So is he saying I don't represent the classic beauty of a Korean woman?
Is my face just poopy?
Well that's how the head of the school feels so what can I...
So what am I? A maid?
It seems so.
Never! I did not find these scripts so that I can be a maid!
I'm not doing this. Give me back the scripts!
Don't do this.
Fine! The ugly person will drop out so all you good looking people can put on a great show!
There's no more sesame oil.
When is the toilet getting here?
Next weekend? Then I should just make a cover for the hole.
Is someone here?
What are you doing? I asked you what you're doing.
Why are you watching someone else shower?
Who is it?
No one. No one.
Who is it?
Have you gone mad woman!?
What?
What?! Never in my life--
it's so ridiculous I'm speechless!
What is?
Did you want to watch another man shower so badly?
What?
Don't just say what and answer me!
How are you going to explain this?
Is this because of your menopause again? Is it?
Yes it is! So what?
So what? So what?
Menopause is not the solution for everything!
What's wrong?
Do you know what she was doing in the neighbor's bathroom just now?
She was watching Julien shower! This is outrageous!
And then she says it's because of menopause.
Why don't you just kill me and say it was because of menopause!
Calm down. As I said, during menopause, because of hormonal changes--
Stop giving these unbelievable excuses!
What does watching the neighbor shower have to do with menopause?
Should I go ask people?
Is this makes any sense?
I'll go ask everyone!
You don't need to. Let's calm down.
You two always make it seem as though I don't understand menopause.
So let's go ask people. If this is really because of menopause.
If people say it is, then I will get down on my knees and apologize.
Okay. So let's calm down first and then--
No. Call everyone. Call the neighbors, Ji Suk, everyone!
Let's get to the bottom of this and confirm whether or not I'm abnormal.
Don't do this Nae Sang. No one's home at this hour anyways.
So let's ask whoever is around.
Okay. I have to go to work now but let's do this tonight when I get home from work.
Fine. Tonight, let's call the neighbors and everyone so we can get to the bottom of this!
Empress Myung Sung enters.
I am Chosun's empress.
Ninja cue!
Ji Suk, are you really not going to take this seriously?
Let's take a 10 minute break.
Ji Suk, why do you keep playing around?
I feel so awkward acting for the first time in my life.
It's just rehearsal-why are you taking it so seriously?
I feel pressured since we'll also have foreign guests attending.
What if people laugh at me? Especially since it's Empress Myung Sung.
True. Even dogs were scared to bark at her because of her strong presence.
So compared to that you do lack a little charisma.
I have plenty of charisma. Charisma!
Come home as soon as school's out. Bring the teacher next door too.
What is it?
Jin Hee, you're here too?
Nae Sang told me to come so I stopped by.
You're all here.
Come out now, everyone's here! Let's get to the bottom of this!
What is it?
I experienced something outrageous today
and I might die of a mental disorder if I don't solve this.
So I need the people's judgment.
What...?
We're home...did something happen?
Go on upstairs. No, actually stay here. You can give your input too.
Let me know if I'm weird or if your mom's weird.
So that's how he saw it?
Hurry and come out here! Everyone's here including Soo Jung and Jong Suk!
That man is out of his mind! What do I do?
You stay here. Let me think for a moment.
One minute Jong Suk!
Just come out, what do you need a minute for?
I said come out!
Why are you coming out alone?
Yoo Sun is not prepared mentally and since I know the story--
So what? You're going to speak on her behalf? Are you her lawyer?
Not necessarily...
Fine. That's fine. I just need to say my piece.
So everyone please give your unbiased opinion.
I know the fact that I'm talking about my wife
to everyone is an embarrassment itself but
I feel so cheated I need to hear your thoughts
so I don't die from some sort of mental disorder!
Should I speak first or you, Gye Sang?
Go ahead Nae Sang.
Fine. I'll go first.
You know what happened today?
I went to your house to make a cover for the hole in your bathroom and my wife--
this is embarrassing, especially in front of the kids.
She was watching Julien taking a shower like this!
Just as you all just reacted, is this acceptable?
How do you think I felt actually having witnessed it?
But you know what she said?
That it's because of menopause.
Does that make sense?
Does it make sense that it was because of menopause?
Is a symptom of menopause watching a man shower?
And then there's Gye Sang who's standing here to defend his sister.
-Are you done? -I'm not done!
I really--
yes, I'm done. Defend her if you'd like.
I'm sorry, you have every right to be angry.
I'm not here to defend her but actually to ask for your understanding as
she's been experiencing a lot of changes both mentally and physically--
I'm sick of hearing about her mental and physical changes!
Does the entire world have menopause?
There are certain things people do that science cannot explain.
Extremely speaking, just as a mother who jumps out of a window
holding her newborn child doesn't lack maternal instincts,
people sometimes experience what's called an impulsive reaction.
It's when people react to a situation without thinking and realizes what they did after.
That makes no sense. How can--
Why do you realize after the fact?
Are they dumb?
It's a sickness if it happens regularly.
However, when women are going through menopause,
they lose their sense of judgment because of the hormonal changes taking place.
Nonsense! If that is a symptom of menopause then they should run away from men.
Why would they watch men shower? Is that caused by menopause?
Honestly, if you try to find a scientific reason for her actions, it will make no sense.
However if you put aside all reason and logic,
and give consideration to that she's sensitive because of bodily changes occurring,
technically, you can say that it's because of menopause.
That's it.
That makes no sense. Thank you for your forced reasoning and now
let's take vote as to who's right.
Everyone put your hands up.
If you think I'm right raise your hands.
I said raise your hands if you think it's unreasonable to blame this on menopause.
What is this? So...then everyone who thinks it's because of menopause?
How can this be...?
You all are crazy! Crazy!
This is all because of menopause? She was watching with her eyes and--
menopause is to blame for this? Huh?
Is this really because of menopause?
Nae Sang...
This is because of menopause?
After the 5:0 loss, Nae Sang temporarily lost his sanity from the shock.
And then a little longer after that.
Day of Empress Myung Sung play
Did you come to watch Jin Hee?
Yes, since I don't have any meetings today.
Are these your costumes for today?
Yup. I'll see you later. I gotta go get ready.
-Good luck Ha Sun! -Thank you!
Hi 2007. What brings this phone call?
A bill? I'm at the school right now.
Ji Suk you look charming.
Julien, you look just like a Russian soldier!
Really? But I can't seem to memorize my lines, they're too long.
I have just 2 lines. "I must kill the Queen! Are you the Queen?" and then
when Ha Sun appears-
Well aren't you excited. You're perfect the Japanese man.
Good luck.
What the heck...Are you the Queen?
I'm sorry, excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.
You should have changed your address sooner.
I'm sorry. I'll get you some more banchan (Korean side dishes) next time.
You make it seem like I came just for some free ban chan.
The play is starting.
I'm troubled over the chaos in the land.
He's so serious.
Your highness, the Empress has arrived.
Ha Sun's coming out. In a bit I'm going to-
Welcome my lady.
Your highness, they say that it's dangerous with the Japanese armies closing in.
You should ally with Russia to push out the Japanese armies.
That's because of menopause too, isn't it?
You almost fell because of menopause, right?
What's gotten into you these days? Have you lost your mind?
It's all because of menopause. Menopause.
It's all because of menopause.
Find the Queen! We must find her and kill her.
They were hiding over there!
Are you the Queen?
Stop!
Your highness! You must not!
I am Chosun's Empress.
How dare you do this here!
Get out right now!
Did I not just tell you to leave?
-What's wrong with him? -Did he forget his lines?
What are you doing Ji Suk? Stab her.
I said to leave this instant!
Stab her. Stab her.
You may be able to kill me but you will never kill Chosun's thoughts.
Your highness! Your highness!
Cheers!
You all did great today, especially Ha Sun! Your acting was impeccable!
-Applause! -Thank you. Thank you.
You may be able to kill me but you will never kill Chosun's thoughts.
Maybe it was because of Ha Sun's last words, but the Japanese man consumed Ji Suk's mind.
Are you on your way to work now?
I thought I was going to fall asleep last period.
Ji Suk?
Ji Suk, why have you been acting weird towards me lately? Did I do something wrong?
You need to tell me so I know.
I'm sorry I killed you.
Excuse me?
I'm sorry I killed you.
What are you...are you talking about the play?
That was all just acting.
I know. I know that but I keep thinking about it.
It's as if I'm possessed by a Japanese ghost.
Every time I see you I just feel really bad
and think about how I stabbed with the sword.
And I keep thinking about you crying...
-Ji Suk-- -I know it's weird.
I don't know why I've been like this.
Don't feel that way. You didn't really kill me.
But still...
Are you a Japanese man? You're not even Japanese.
So now you should escape that character.
The show's over and I'm perfectly fine.
You may have killed me but I'm totally fine.
Oh no. What do I do? I burned the entire pot!
What do I do about this?
What do you mean what do you do? It's all because of menopause.
Are you going to keep acting like this?
It's all because of menopause. Menopause.
-Oil prices on the rise -This is all because of menopause
Following that, Nae Sang attributed about 2,000 different incidents to menopause.
