Episode 81
Grow up strong and healthy, Gye Baek.
Its name isn't Gye Baek.
What?
Its name is Jin Sang.
What? Jin Sang?
What kind of name is that?
Gye as in Gye Sang and Baek as in Baek Jin Hee.
Hence, Gye Baek. Also like the warrior Gye Baek, sounds powerful.
It does sound nice, but it's too plain and straightforward.
Jin Sang is Jin as in Jin Hee and Sang as in Gye Sang.
If we take it back to the old days, it means something that's precious
and fruitful. It's like a metaphor.
A metaphor?
A metaphor for a plant?
Why not? Plants are metaphors themselves.
A rose is a metaphor for love,
so just as people give roses to express their feelings,
we don't know what our plant is,
but it carries a meaning that it is precious.
Any word can have a metaphorical meaning.
I'm still not sure, but I like it since my name comes first.
We can call it Jin Sang.
These are the coats I want.
The sale is only until next week. Which one is prettier?
I think the first one will look better on you.
Really? Don't you think the second one will look really good on me too?
Why does everything have to look so good on me?
It's really hard living with the body of a model.
You've grown 3 cm.
That's probably why your uniforms felt uncomfortable.
You grew 3 cm?
Pretty amazing!
I still have a long way to go if I want to catch up to you.
The coat looks pretty expensive. Do you have money saved up?
Yeah right.
Tomorrow is New Year's.
And what happens on New Year's Day?
New Year's...clothes?
Are you kidding me?
New Year's means saebae*! (*tradition of bowing and receiving money from elders)
And saebae means money!
I'm even going to go to my great-aunt's to collect money.
I'll wear my hanbok (traditional Korean clothing)
and say "Happy New Year" in a really cute way
and get twice as much money from everyone!
You didn't go home yet?
What about Jin Hee?
Jin Hee just left.
She said she has plans tonight.
What's all that?
A New Year's present from the clinic to the employees.
It's a canned tuna gift set.
Canned tuna every year...
I'll have to give Jin Hee hers tomorrow.
New Year's Day (also Jin Hee's Birthday)
Why is there no ddukguk? (ddukguk: rice cake soup eaten on New Year's Day)
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Jin Hee! Happy Birthday to you!
We made your favorite bulgogi, so eat up! (bulgogi: marinated beef)
You're working today too?
Yup, I have the overnight shift.
Do you have to work tonight? It's New Year's and your birthday.
Ask someone to switch with you.
I had dinner with my friends last night,
and I don't have much else to do since I'm not going home this year.
Hello. Happy Happy New Year everyone!
- Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
Why are you eating miyukguk and not ddukguk? (miyukguk: seaweed soup eaten on birthdays)
Today's Jin Hee's birthday.
Really?
Then you were born on New Year's Day.
Amazing.
Our New Year's Day is based on the lunar calendar,
and Jin Hee's birthday is based on the solar calendar,
so she wasn't really born on New Year's Day.
Well, you must want to feed all those brain cells of yours,
so you should eat breakfast.
May I borrow a hanbok?
I need to collect some moolah today.
- Are you here, Jin Hee? - Oh my!
You're not supposed to be here tonight.
I have some articles I need to finish by today.
I can focus better here than at home.
I see...
It sucks that we have to be here on a holiday,
but let's make the best of it!
By the way, congrats!
Excuse me?
Today's a special day.
Let's go eat together later.
Special day?
How did he know it's my birthday?
Did Soo Jung tell him?
Happy New Year!
Now, shall I go collect some funds?
Seung Yun, can you put the phone to my ear?
Hello?
Oh yes, hello. Is everything well?
What?
Soo Jung did?
Mom! Dad! Please accept Soo Jung's saebae!
You're really determined to get money today.
You!
What did you do with the money I gave you last month for tutoring?
What?
We barely had enough money for you to take extra classes during vacation,
and you swiped that money?
Who said that?
What are you talking about?
Who swiped what?
Look at her!
I gave her money to take classes during vacation,
and she went skiing with all the kids!
All the moms are livid right now!
Did you really do that?
No, the truth is...
it's all in the past!
It's a new year
so how about accepting my saebae first?
You little--
Words are not enough for you.
Come here!
Stop right there, you brat!
Come back here right now!
Mrs. Ahn, I'll finish wiping the plates!
Ahn Soo Jung! Stop right there!
You punk! You're in big trouble if you get caught!
I'm sorry, Dad!
I'm sorry you have to work overnight on a day like today.
It's okay.
I don't really have anything else to do anyways.
So you have nothing else to do.
Then you should work overnight.
What?
Just kidding.
I'll treat you to a good meal to make up for it.
It's right there.
Is he taking me to a nice restaurant for my birthday?
Looks like I'll be having steak tonight!
Want to head in?
The kkakdugi here is amazing. (kkakdugi: radish kimchi)
Here, cut it with scissors.
Okay...
The broth is so dense you can't see the bottom of the bowl.
Yeah, you really can't see into it, just like your mind.
What? What do you...?
Just kidding.
That's not how you say just kidding!
Just kidding!
Like that!
I have to go to the bathroom really quick.
What is this? Seolungtang on my birthday... (suhllungtang: oxtail soup)
Oh my! What is...?
Do you like it?
What?
Then this ring is...
You're giving it to me?
I wanted to give it to you on your birthday.
It was really hard finding a suhllungtang place with dense broth.
So, were you surprised?
Yes...
but why inside suhllungtang?
It's a metaphor of my deep, bottomless feelings for you.
What is that?
What?
This was inside my suhllungtang...
Really?
Excuse me!
Yes!
This was inside our suhllungtang.
Oh my...
I'm really sorry.
It was on a shelf and it fell.
It must have fallen into the food.
I'm sorry.
True, a ring would be too much even if it is my birthday...
What are you doing there in your hanbok?
You're going to freeze on New Year's Day.
Aren't you cold?
Your parents found out today?
Some luck you have on the first day of the new year.
That's what I'm saying. Nothing's going according to plan today.
I have to saebae no matter what today.
Too bad for you.
Uncle Ji Suk got a bonus today so he's being very generous.
What the heck?
But if you come home the best that'll happen to you is death.
Mom and Dad are polishing their whips.
What do I do? What do I do?
Is there a way I can get saebae money without going home?
That's it.
Help me!
I brought you some coffee--
Where did he go?
I wonder who that's for...
Could it be for me?
What is it?
Uncle Ji Suk! Happy New Year!
Ahn Soo Jung! Ahn Ahn Soo Jung! Soo Jung loves you!
I'm even wearing a hanbok so please give me more money than Ahn Jong Suk.
...she asked me to relay that to you.
I've never seen someone do saebae for someone else.
It's my first time too.
Tell Soo Jung this.
Are you kidding me?
This isn't saebae.
You will not get any saebae money like this.
Always scheming...
He told me to tell you that.
What?
Uncle Ji Suk.
You know I can't come home right now.
Please accept my saebae.
Please give me saebae money!
Is that all you can think about right now?
Where are you? Are you at Ji Won's?
No, I just talked to her over the phone.
Since I did saebae can't I get--
Come here and do it yourself if you want saebae money.
It's useless sending someone else.
Uncle Ji Suk! Uncle Ji Suk!
Ugh, seriously!
I left coffee on your desk.
Thank you.
Jin Hee, can you step inside for a sec?
I have something to give you.
Okay.
Give me something?
That present?
What do you have to give me?
Here it is.
This.
This is...?
It's a list of the people who need to come in for an arthritis screening.
Can you follow up after the holidays?
It's probably better if you keep track of it than me.
Okay.
Do you have something to say to me?
What? You said you had something to give me.
I just gave it to you.
This?
Okay.
- By the way Jin Hee. - Yes?
You can go home now. Good work today.
What?
It's a special day so you can meet up with your friends and have fun today.
So what? That's not my present?
What was I expecting?
Then why does he keep saying it's a special day?
Happy New Year, Uncle Ji Suk!
I said it myself, so I'm good, right?
Please deposit my saebae money into my account!
She's doing all kinds of crazy things now...
It's Uncle Ji Suk!
The clip is invalid.
You have to do it in person for it to be valid.
What did he say?
Why is he so picky?
I won't give up like this.
You wait and see, I will get my saebae money.
Soo Jung, Ji Won, you two look incredibly pretty in your hanbok!
Julien, accept my saebae and give me saebae money!
I left something in my room!
Why isn't anything working out?
No, at times like this I need to work harder.
Where are you? Come home now.
Okay I will. Look out the window so I can saebae.
I did it in person, so I'm good, right?
Now send me my saebae money. My account number is--
- Nope. - Why not?
I did it in person.
You can't do it from so far away.
I can't even tell if you're bowing to me or not.
You can't be more than 2 meters away.
You're so picky!
Fine! What is it that you want?
Tell me every detail at once and don't make me run around for it.
Fine. You have to be within 2 meters with your hands nicely placed,
your hands and elbows need to form a straight line,
and be parallel to your shoulders as you slowly bow down,
and your forehead needs to touch the ground when you bow.
Your butt cannot be raised
and you must stay in that position for 5 seconds.
Then I will acknowledge it as a saebae.
Fine. You can't say otherwise if I really do that.
Okay. If you do that, I'll give you more saebae money than Jong Suk.
You promised!
Hi, Mom.
Did you have ddukguk today?
I even had miyukguk this morning and got a lot of birthday wishes.
Don't worry.
Mom, I'm sorry I couldn't go home for New Year's.
Don't worry about me and take care of yourself.
Okay.
It's not like I'm asking for much.
I just want a phone call wishing me happy birthday...
Dr. Yoon
Yes, Dr. Yoon.
Jin Hee, where are you?
Are you on the bus yet?
No, no. I'm still at the bus stop.
Good. Then can I ask you a favor?
Sure. What is it?
We need to do a mental health awareness program right after the holidays,
and I forgot to do some research for it.
I'm really sorry,
but can you do some research and leave it on my desk?
- Sure... - Thank you so much.
I'll treat you to suhllungtang again later on.
Okay.
He's really making me depressed on my birthday.
He's good on other days...
Why not today...
He wouldn't...
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Jin Hee!
Happy birthday to you!
Dr. Yoon...
I was putting this together, so I sent you home and asked you to come back.
It was hard getting all this done quickly.
You didn't have to...
I didn't think you knew it was my birthday.
Even if I forgot today was New Year's, how could I forget your birthday?
Here. Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
You're trying so hard for saebae money.
It's fine. I'll do it if it's the last thing I do!
Alright. Don't get caught and make it back.
You scared me!
You know I'm on the run, right?
I'm going to do just as you asked, so please accept my saebae.
I'm within 2 meters.
I'm in a hurry, so get your cash ready.
Happy New Year, Uncle Ji Suk!
You said 5 seconds.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Got you!
Who is it?
Who do you think? Come with me.
Was this a trap?
It needed to be done.
You're gonna get it. Come here!
I'm sorry, Dad! Please let me go just once!
How can you do this to me, Uncle Ji Suk?!
I came to sincerely saebae to you! How could you?!
Dr. Yoon?
Dr. Yoon, I'm here.
What the heck...no one's really here...
What is it?
A surprise?
Dr. Yoon?
Miss, do you work here?
The electricity suddenly went out in the building.
What?
You said you were going to the bathroom. Where did you go?
The bathroom was at the end of the hallway.
Sorry I couldn't come to the dohl party. (dohl: child's 1 year birthday)
You shouldn't have.
Thank you.
Let's go. It's a special day, so I'll buy dinner.
Special day? How is it a special day?
We got a New Year's bonus today.
Ahn Soo Jung, did you get into a lot of trouble?
How can you ambush someone who came to wish you a happy new year?
I'm sorry, but you should be punished if you do something wrong.
Get out of my room.
I don't even want to see you! Get out! I said get out!
I brought saebae money.
Is this a joke?
It's fine.
You did as I asked, so I'm keeping my promise.
Here.
You think this will make everything better?
Rascal...Happy New Year!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15?
Oh yeah!
Jung Shik
Happy birthday! Hope this year will be filled with happiness!
Happy happy birthday Jin Hee!
I have 1 minute left of my birthday.
Jin Hee, I forgot to give you your present
so I'm leaving it on your living room table.
It's late, so I thought you might be sleeping,
so I won't wake you up.
You're a year older now, so I wish you only the best this year.
The present got bigger!
Hold on. What is this?
Canned tuna set?
Plants are metaphors themselves.
A rose is a metaphor for love,
so just as people give roses to express their feelings,
Anything can have a metaphorical meaning.
Why canned tuna on my birthday?
Canned tuna...
What does it mean?
Symbolic meaning of tuna?
Canned tuna...tuna can-->I can do it? Do what?
-->Love?
Meaning of canned tuna gift on birthday?
