Honey.
Episode 4
Jeongim.
Where are you, Jeongim?
How do you get this to make a sound?
It's difficult.
Who are you?
Dad.
- Dad! - Dad!
Dad!
- Dad! - Dad!
What did I tell you?
I told you that he's an important national figure.
I told you to watch your behaviour.
How could you turn him into such a fool?
I'm sorry father.
Teaho was just playing a joke.
Of all the jokes to play, why that one?
I don't know.
You must've told him to put it on.
Me? Why would I do that?
The Taeho I know would never do something like that.
Aish, really.
How can I face the others?
Suchang has a big mouth.
He will tell everyone about it.
Taeho is a public figure now.
Everyone knows him.
What will become of him now?
Is something going on?
Where have you been?! It's late!
Don't shout at me.
I went grocery shopping.
Did your friend just leave?
Aren't you going to the public baths?
You should go. Mom's here now.
I'm the rice girl!
Rice girl, stupid fool!
Who is?
Who do you think? Me!
I don't know why I've lived like this?
You're ashamed of me.
You won't do a joint interview.
Father blames everything on me and ridicules me.
Why have I lived my life this way?
Who else can I blame?
It's all my fault.
Stupid fool.
All I do is make rice and sell rice cakes!
Jeongim. Honey...
Are you mad?
Is it because I refused to do the couple interview?
Did you think I turned it down because you embarrass me?
That's a misunderstanding.
I had no excuse to turn it down, so I used you.
I'm sorry I didn't discuss it with you first.
But, I had a good reason. I had no choice.
Listen to me.
Get up and listen!
I'm tired.
Listen to me anyway. It's a misunderstanding.
What's the misunderstanding?
You said I embarrass you.
When did I say that?
You did! At the studio!
I meant that I was embarrassed by your shouting.
Why did you turn down the interview then?
Do you want to do the interview?
That's not what I said.
See? You don't want to do it. Me too.
You know how much I hate interviews in female magazines.
That doesn't seem like the reason.
You have an inferiority complex.
Inferiority complex?
Yes!
Don't put the blame on me and...
And what?
What?!
What? Tell me! What?!
You have nothing to say.
You're just stuck.
Whenever you're disadvantaged...
Look at this room.
Is this the room of a Professor?
They want to do the interview in the study.
I don't have a study.
They want to hear about our views on life and marriage in our study.
Why do we have to do that in a study?
That's how they do their interviews. Always in the study.
What a strange series.
It's not strange, I'm the one who's strange.
I lived all my life without a study.
This junk of a desk and this junk of a bookshelf.
Say, do you know how old this desk is, huh?
I bought it when I was in University.
I paid $50 for it.
Everyone else has a study and a studio.
I have my wife's pajamas and underwear.
That is the sort of room I study in.
Can you really take part in the interview?
I could do it if I needed to.
People's lives are all the same.
You don't need a study to read a lot and be knowledgeable.
I'm proud of you.
You're right, Jeongnim.
You're wonderful.
Are you making fun of me?
No, I'm not.
You're totally right.
This is all being vain.
Why collect all these books?
Let's throw them all out.
Don't do this.
I was being foolish.
I don't need a study.
Michelangelo painted squatted under the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
Einstein discovered the theory of relativity on his tiny home table.
Many poets wrote wonderful poems in small attics.
I lost my mind for a minute.
I'm sorry, Jeongim.
I don't need a study.
Taeho, don't do this.
Don't throw your books away.
I'm sorry, Jeongim.
I was a fool.
You're not a fool. Stop it.
Vanity.
Ah... really.
Stop it, don't do this.
Don't throw your books away.
It's torn.
What to do?
Goodness...
It's good.
- Dad. - Yes?
I couldn't make rice rolls. I'm sorry.
I worked all night and slept in.
It's okay, you made an egg roll.
Congratulations, you passed!
Where are you going for your field trip?
Yongsan Museum.
That sounds fun.
I've never been there.
I'll go there today and I'll show you around next time.
That sounds good.
- Have a good time. - Yes.
Dad, rest a while.
Don't work too hard.
Okay.
- Are you going to school? - Yes, have a good day.
Yes, take care.
Okay.
Be careful of cars.
I will.
Do you translate foreign literature too?
Just as a casual job.
When did you learn English?
I didn't learn it properly.
I'm studying as I work.
You drive a taxi, deliver water and translate too.
I have to make a living.
I know, but you're so skilled.
I paid our rent yesterday.
Sorry it's a few days late.
Don't worry about it.
You don't have to be sorry.
Just save up quickly, so you can move out with Joon.
Thank you.
Follow me, good.
His thoughts have been portrayed...
When a man says he doesn't want to talk,
it's different to a woman.
That means he really doesn't want to talk at all.
At times like that, leave him alone.
He wants to crawl into his own private cave.
Do you know what men fear the most?
- No. - No.
When his wife says, 'We need to talk'.
- That's true. - It's true, right?
Let's move on.
He has a point.
A man like Taeho does needs to have a proper study.
Imagine if your house was shown in a magazine.
It'd be totally humiliating.
It wouldn't be humiliating.
People's homes are all pretty much the same.
I didn't want to say this.
Jeongim, you're so indifferent.
I am not.
I know you worked to support your husband in his studies.
But supporting your husband isn't just about money.
You need to support him emotionally too.
What did I do that's so wrong?
You don't fool me.
You just boasted he earned money.
You didn't really respect Taeho.
Respect?
He doesn't respect me. Why should I?
That's the problem with you.
Men live off respect.
They want to be acknowledged.
Owning a study could be a dream for men.
Especially for scholars like Taeho.
You didn't acknowledge that.
You just argued.
I'm sure that hurt his pride.
Even if you don't respect him,
you shouldn't look down on him.
It's his dream.
Only men dream?
I want a study too.
It wasn't my dream to be a rice cake girl either.
Rice cake girl?
Are you looking down on me then?
That's not what I meant.
I didn't mean anything by it.
Opening this place was all your idea.
You said bakeries and sandwich shops were outdated.
You said rice cakes were the latest trend.
Did I say that?
So I did.
You're always bragging lately.
You want to brag about the interview?
No way. I'm not bragging.
It's so hot. Give me something cold to drink.
Don't throw your jacket here.
You want something cold?
I can knock you out cold if you want.
Those rice cakes are for sale.
Are you going to buy them all now?
Where should you hang your jacket?
Open you eyes.
Look closely. Where should you hang your jacket?
Why did you throw it on top of the rice cakes?
I have a new boyfriend.
Really? Why didn't you tell me?
Bye.
We need to talk.
I'm not going to follow you around.
Don't worry.
I'm Kim Gangho.
Let's introduce ourselves officially while we're sober.
I thought you were a player.
Why are you being so lame?
You're no player.
I've become quick to notice things while being unemployed.
You're no player. Don't lie.
I'm really busy.
Fine.
We were both drunk that night.
It's not really anyone's fault.
We're even. Okay?
But we may keep running into each other here.
So stop trying to avoid me.
Forget what happened that night.
I've forgotten it. You should too.
Nothing happened. Okay?
Mom!
Who are you?
Oh, I'm...
Don't bother my daughter ever again, okay?
I mean it.
He's just a classmate.
You overreacted.
I didn't overreact.
I'm not a fool.
What did he say to you?
Why aren't you saying a thing?
You've got it all wrong.
Don't lie to me.
You have such a weak heart.
I worry about you.
America is full of strange people.
You're so naive.
You'll be nice to everyone.
I can't sleep at night when I think about that.
Mom, I...
We should reconsider putting you in a dorm.
Live at my friend's house.
Even if it costs a lot, I need to send you to a safe place.
Mom,
I'm not a child anymore.
You think you're all grown up.
But do you know what a scary world it is out there?
You must always stay alert.
That boy is a good example.
He keeps bothering me.
Go to a different language academy starting tomorrow.
Mom!
Did you just shout at me?
Just leave me alone.
I can take care of myself.
I'm going to live in a dorm,
not your friends house.
I'm going to attend the same academy.
I'm going to eat alone at lunch.
Don't come.
What's wrong with you?
Are you feeling ill?
Dahye...
You're driving me crazy.
I can't breathe.
Eat first. Let's discuss this later at home.
Don't go out. Stay at home.
You're not allowed out until I get home from work.
- Miss Kim, enjoy your lunch. - Yes, you too.
You brought so much food.
Hello.
- Enjoy our meal. - You too.
Joon. can you spare a rice roll piece for me?
I don't have ay. My dad was too busy.
Right. I see.
You don't have to eat rice rolls.
Right. I prefer egg rolls.
Want some?
Sure.
Miss Kim.
Hello, Nayeong and Eunseo's mom.
I brought lunch for you.
So did I.
You didn't have to bring my lunch.
I hope it tastes all right.
I bought it from a place that's good.
Thank you for the meal.
Enjoy your lunch.
- Joon, you eat this. - Excuse me?
It's a gift. I have another one for me.
Eat it.
Thank you.
Eat up.
I will.
- I'm enjoying your show. - Thank you.
Are you free tonight?
My wife's friend owns a winery in Italy.
She sent over some boxes of wine.
I was going to invite the Dean to our modest garden.
It's a house party.
I have an appointment tonight.
Postpone it if you can.
My wife wants to meet you.
She's a huge fan of yours.
Thank you. But not today...
I'm a little busy. See you next time.
Father.
You're here.
What are you doing here? You didn't even call.
I had a customer who asked me to drive them here.
I came to see you while I'm here.
I'm glad you came.
I was going to visit you.
But I've been really busy.
I know. I heard from Jeongim.
You're busy. You don't need to come over.
Everyone knows how busy you are lately.
Professor Kim, hello.
I'm so proud of you.
It's all thanks to you.
I'm glad to hear that.
It's all in the past, but
when...
Jeongim said she wanted to marry you...
I was a little against it.
You were?
She didn't tell you?
You didn't have a secure future.
You're the eldest and live with your parents.
That's not good.
You're right.
But still...
you were so dedicated.
I could tell you were intelligent when I spoke to you.
I knew you'd end up being successful.
Jeongim's had a tough life until now.
I know that.
Don't say that. She knew what she was getting into.
She hasn't had a tough life.
That's all in the past now.
Here. Take this.
What is it?
It's not much.
Buy yourself a box of Chinese medicine.
Medicine? I should be buying that for you.
Just take it.
Use that to get yourself some medicine
and be good to Jeongim.
And also...
have a baby soon before it's too late.
Thank you.
Jeongim...
has had a tough life.
Her mother died early.
She did the housework, took care of me.
Her hands were always full.
She's so kind.
She always puts her own life second.
Be good to her.
I wasn't good to her,
so you should be.
I will.
Don't worry.
A study...
Did you buy groceries?
Why do prices rise all the time?
Why don't they fall?
Those measly sweet potatoes cost $2.
Everything's so expensive.
Why is it so hot in here?
You should keep a fan in here?
It's so hot.
Excuse me, Mother...
What is it?
Mother...
What is it? Tell me.
Mother, let's go out and buy a desk.
A desk?
Yes, I want to buy a new desk and bookshelf for Taeho.
All of a sudden?
His desk's really old.
My instalment saving account ends next month.
I want to do it for him.
His desk is old. I think he bought it when he was in University.
Use it a little longer.
Change it when you get the money.
I was going to...
but some magazine asked him to do an interview.
An interview?
Yes.
But they have to do the interview in his study.
And he doesn't have one.
Mother, I've been thinking...
Once Yeonho gets married...
can we use her room to make Taeho a study?
What do you think?
He can't do an interview because we don't have a study?
Why didn't you tell us earlier?
No, father. That's not the only reason.
Professor Kim can't do an interview because he doesn't have a study?
That's ridiculous.
She said that's not the only reason.
I just thought it'd be nice for him to have a study.
He studies all night. I feel bad sleeping while he studies.
Of course. You should've made preparations ages ago
Why are you so slow?
Make him a study right now.
We don't have a spare room.
Dig a hole in the ground if you need to!
How will you support your husband and son like that?!
Father,
I'll buy a new desk and bookshelf first.
We can make a study later.
Where's Gangho?
Why do you ask?
Change his room into a study.
He's hopeless. He doesn't need his own room.
Tell him to sleep in our room and give up his.
Father.
Imagine how hurt Taeho must've been.
He's an important figure and he'll soon be a celebrity.
Imagine how ashamed he must've felt.
Yes?
Where are you?
I'm working.
Come out. Let's eat.
Eat?
Yes, eat.
Come out. I'll buy you dinner.
Let's have steak.
You always said you wanted to eat that.
It's my treat.
I got paid for my lectures and an incentive.
Incentive?
Father...
I'll tell you about it later.
Just come out.
Forget it.
Just come home early tonight.
- I'll cook a delicious meal. - Come out.
It's okay.
We have something important at home tonight.
It's really important.
You'll find out when you get home.
Important?
We're always out of sync.
Yes?
Taeho.
Hi. What brings you here?
I heard you refused to go.
What?
Professor Jang's wife called me to ask you.
She said I have to bring you.
You're such a liar.
I'm not lying.
You know I'm a fan of his wife.
She knows I'm her fan, so she called me herself.
All the other Professors are going.
She's disappointed. You're the only one who turned her down.
Really...
Dad, Taeho doesn't want to go.
Why? Are you busy?
Yes, I...
Try to make it.
It will be good for our department's team spirit.
I don't want to go either then.
I shouldn't really be going.
I'm just tagging along.
If Taeho doesn't go, I'll feel really left out.
Ah... really...
How much is this one?
$900.
$900?
I'll give you a 10% discount.
$900 for a desk?
Do you have anything cheaper?
It's okay, mother.
I like this one. Let's get it.
Why have you become so frivolous all of a sudden?
My account expires soon.
Might as well buy him the best.
Furniture is so expensive.
I know.
Is this leather?
It's so soft.
It's cow hide. Take a seat.
Does this cost around $1,000?
It's $10,000.
Mother, sit down.
It's okay.
Take a seat.
It's nice.
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Sure, that'd be nice.
I'll be back.
Mother,
I'll make lots of money really soon.
I'll buy all this furniture for you.
That sounds nice even if you're just joking.
I mean it.
I have nowhere to put this stuff even if you buy it.
Our living room's tiny.
We'll move then.
I'll become rich and move into a house with 12 rooms.
Taeho can have a study and I'll have one too.
You can have a study too.
Why do I need a study?
Just take it. It's free.
All you have to do is accept.
Right. That's my dream.
My own room.
Mother, don't worry.
I'll make it come true.
Mother, open up.
I don't understand you.
You should move out.
Do you want to live with us until you die?
Mother, I have my reasons.
I can't raise a baby alone.
You have to help me.
You can hire a nanny for that.
I'm going to stay by your side until the day I die.
I'm going to stick like a piece of chewing gum.
You're so odd.
Other daughters-in-law are dying to move out.
When I first came over to your house with Yeonho...
I was jealous of Yeonho.
The house was filled with people.
Grandma was alive back then too.
I wanted to live in a house with a big family too.
I thought that it'd be nice to live there with you.
When Taeho...
When he asked me to marry him...
the first thing that came to mind...
was that you'd be my mother-in-law.
That made me so happy that I cried.
Really? That made you happy?
Yes.
I was jealous that you were Yeonho's mom and not mine.
I really hated her.
No wonder she doesn't like me.
Aigoo, really...
Thanks.
For what?
See how sneaky I am?
I'm asking you nicely to look after my baby.
Eat up.
Scissors-paper-rock.
Miss Kim, Joon's sick.
He's throwing up.
What?
Joon!
Joon.
Joon! Joon!
What a relief!
I was so worried about you, Joon
You shocked me!
Joon, you're such a good boy. What a relief.
What happened to him?
Food poisoning. He ate something bad.
He'll be all right.
He just needs to rest.
That's good.
Right.
- Thanks for taking care of him. - It's nothing.
What's wrong with him?
It's so hot.
Did you feed him sushi?
Is it because of the sushi?
Who... who told you that?
We don't know if that's how he got sick.
Did I say anything?
You just accused me.
I never did that.
I just asked if you gave him sushi.
He likes sushi, so I was going to thank you.
I think the egg roll was off.
The eggs were a little old.
I really can't understand you.
How can you hurt him like that?
Rice rolls are cheap and so easy to find.
You should've packed that for him to make him happy.
Is that what he said? Was he sad?
Of course not. He's such a good boy.
Me. I feel so terrible for him.
Please be good to your son.
Children have pride too.
Coming on field trips, directing traffic after school...
Cafeteria duty... You don't need to do any of that.
But when it comes to his lunch box...
Miss Kim.
Yes?
Stop trying to teach me.
Teach you?
Following kids on field trips.
Making sure they eat.
Don't you know that thos things spoil our kids?
What are you talking about?
I'm telling you what's wrong with our education system.
If we do everything for them,
how will they become independent?
Why do kids always have to eat rice rolls on field trips?
It's so old fashioned.
Don't you agree?
Don't worry about Joon.
He's growing up well.
Joon's father.
Yes? Joon's teacher?
Why do you do this to me every time?
What did I do that's so wrong?
I just meant well for Joon...
What did I do?
I know you care for him.
I'm just telling you that you don't need to worry.
I'm sorry I'm a little late.
Not a little. You're exactly 33 minutes late.
I'm sorry.
Something came up at school.
It's okay.
But you should know that time is money to me.
Please try to be on time.
Okay.
Do you plan to continue teaching?
Excuse me?
I mean, after we get married.
I think so.
I just wanted to let you know that it's okay if you quit.
Honestly, you're not young.
I don't want to postpone having children.
I want our babies to be raised by their own mother.
Aigoo. I'm getting ahead of myself.
Please order first.
You want me to become a full-time housewife?
Not necessarily.
You can go back to work after the baby's old enough.
I can cover for your salary.
I think women who raise a baby are the most beautiful.
That's what has made our education system the way it is now.
Excuse me?
Do you know what stresses me out the most?
Parents who are obsessed with their kids. It stresses me out.
They can't trust the teachers, so they tag along everywhere.
They have no lives. They're totally devoted to their children.
How will kids become independent if we do everything for them?
I didn't know you were so old-fashioned.
My job's important to me.
You should be a little more considerate.
I didn't mean it that way.
I was just telling you about my principles.
About our schedule in meeting your parents...
You always talk about schedules!
Is that all that matters to you?!
Yeonho...
Sorry, I have a terrible headache today.
I feel like my head's going to shatter to bits.
Really? Do you have some sort of chronic disease?
I'm home...
Why are you coming out from my room?
Can't I even go into your room?
Why did you?
I'm trying to get an estimate on the study.
We need to change the window and work out where to put the desk.
Taeho's study?
What does that have to do with my room?
You're going to get married soon.
We're going to make your room into his study.
Let's just do it early.
When's your wedding anyways?
What?
Take your belongings out and sleep in our room for a while.
What do you mean by that?
Give your room to Taeho and sleep in our room.
Dad!
Can't you even do that to support your brother?
I'm not getting married!
What?
I'm not getting married. No way! Remember that.
Come this way.
- Be careful. - Come this way.
In here.
- Where? - Over here.
Be careful.
This way.
Here, here.
Dad!
Why are you doing this?
I'm not getting married!
I'm not giving up my room!
What did you say to her?
Hey, player.
Who are you out to hunt today?
Give it to me.
I don't want to.
Give it back!
Go home.
Your mom will be worried.
Mind your own business.
You don't seem like a good drinker.
I think that's enough.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
Give it back.
I don't want to.
How much is it?
$10.
We didn't prepare much, but enjoy.
Thank you.
How's the wine?
- Hey, honey. The Dean's here. - Oh, the Dean.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello - Congratulations.
- Thank you. - Please enjoy your meal.
Please eat up.
Oh, my.
Should we have a toast?
Why not?
She studied in Germany.
That's where she met Professor Jang.
I played the piano until I was in middle school too.
I've been a fan of hers ever since I was little.
I see.
Why didn't you keep playing?
Dad wanted me to study.
He wanted me to be a scholar.
I didn't become one, so
he wants me to meet a man who is.
I should introduce you to someone then.
I'm not going to get married.
Why not?
I don't want to be tied down by marriage.
I don't want my gender to confine me and
reduce my role in society.
Our society is advancing, but we're still far behind.
If I marry, I'll become a wife, a daughter-in-law, a mom.
I can't break free from that.
You're right.
I don't want to restrain anyone with marriage.
I don't want them to restrain me.
Shouldn't real love be free?
Not be tied down to marriage.
Seoyeong... Your ideas are a little challenging today.
Don't tell my dad.
You know how old-fashioned he is.
I'm going to tell on you.
He'll kick me out.
Well... I'd be thankful for that.
You're so ravishing.
Thank you.
You remind me of my wife when she was young.
My wife thinks so too.
She's a lot prettier than I am.
It's an honor.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
Let's all make a toast.
- Bravo! - Bravo!
It's a modest study.
Nothing much to look at.
It's grand.
What a wonderful view you have!
Sometimes I sit here as the sun sets.
I think about the meaning of life.
You seem like a religious man.
I can see why now.
You're very quick to catch on.
Come over often.
Can I?
Sure.
You like music. Listen to this.
- My late father enjoyed listening to this album. - I think everyone's waiting.
Let's go downstairs.
You go ahead.
All right.
You...
How many star's do you think exist in the universe?
I don't know...
a few billion?
A few billion?
Is that all?
You fool. There's too many to count.
The universe has no boundaries.
It's enormous.
The likelihood of us living in the same place...
at the same time is close to zero.
I see.
In this gigantic universe and
under infinite time...
the fact that I'm here together with you, Jeongim...
I'm grateful for that at least a dozen times a day.
God has brought us together.
When I first saw you...
When I first saw you,
I felt a message from God.
Have you ever felt that time and space have stopped?
I'm not sure?
Jeongim.
Let's get married!
I can't guarantee a thing.
It's a tough road ahead. I can't guarantee a thing.
But, I will give up my life for you
if you have faith in me.
Fool. Why give up your life?
Then will you marry me?
Thanks, Jeongim.
Thank you!
Someone will see.
Thank you, God!
Thank you, Buddha!
Are you an angel or a human?
Stop it.
I, Kim Taeho am going to marry Nam Jeongim!
Nam Jeongim is Kim Taeho's angel!
How does the wine suit you?
It's good.
I'll invite you over in the fall when
we have Beaujolais Nouveau.
That sounds good.
(Compounded term of politics and professor.)
Polifessors* are a serious issue these days, right?
Excuse me?
They're not interested in studies, but in other things.
The seniors are all concerned.
Yeah.
Why not become a celebrity, or just go into politics?
Why use education as a stepping stone towards success?
Why bother studying them?
I see your point.
I didn't mean it that way.
Don't take offence.
You're not that sort of man.
She's good.
Excuse me.
Let me play a piece.
You want to play?
Butterfly, butterfly.
Come fly this way.
- What are you doing? - Tiger butterfly.
Here we go!
A yellow butterfly.
He must be drunk.
It sat down!
What a mess!
No one's turning around!
Are you okay?
Are you all right?
[My hubby]
Do you know something?
What?
You're really cute.
Me?
Yes, you were so cool.
I don't really like Professor Jang.
Really?
You showed him who's boss.
That's what I like about you.
You're honest. You're not fake.
I'm not honest. I'm a big phony.
You even call yourself a phony.
That's what I like about you.
You must be drunk too.
I'm not drunk at all.
I'm not drunk driving.
[Taeho <3 Jeongim]
Go inside.
Bye.
Bye. Sleep tight.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Jeongim...
Jeongim!

I just got a ride in her car. Don't be so touchy.
Call her right now.
Miss Kim is the prettiest lady in this world.
You should re-marry soon.
I always wanted an older brother.
I'm glad that I met you.
What would I want?
Tell me again.
- Sis! - What took you so long?
I don't need you or Dahye. Get out!
You haven't changed a bit.
Someone from my hometown came to see me.
You know what country people are like.
Forget that night, forever.
A girl keeps going around and around in my head.
Can't unemployed people even have a relationship?
I keep seeing different sides of you.
It concerns me.
How about taking some time to think over our marriage?
Don't mention that to dad.
He'll hit the roof.
Are you ashamed? Do I embarrass you?
That's why you can't do the interview?
Do what you want with the interview!
