I should have worn one more pair of socks.
I just washed my hands and now it's dirty again.
Seo In U's hyeongnim! (Hyeongnim: Older brother)
It's Seo Jae U. (Hyeongnim: Older brother)
What?
My name is Seo Jae U, I mean.
Is one hand not enough?
Be careful.
If you keep on slipping while hiking,
it'd be like there's a problem with our product.
It's not a product problem, but a problem with me.
Oh and... are you really the Achasan squirrel?
Mr. Seo Jae U.
Haven't you seen a squirrel slip?
Try to go to Achasan.
They all slip.
Don't run. Just go slowly.
After 3 jobless years, it was my first day at work,
that I was so looking forward to!
But the kids wouldn't eat the meals I prepared.
Bad fries, dumplings, ramyeon... Those are the stuff they'd buy and eat.
So, for their own good, I took those away.
"You guys! If you eat this and get sick,"
"it will be my responsibility, okay?"
"Go and eat the school lunch!"... As I said that--
Middle schoolers probably won't listen to that.
It's not just that they won't.
"Whatever we eat, what does it matter to you?"
"Damn, just..."
"go away, will you?"
They were like that.
Ah... It's really no easy work.
So then, what happened?
It hurt my pride so I told them off.
"If you want to hit me, then try it."
"However,"
"if my face get's scratched,"
"you need to live your life, taking me along!"
It's to the kids that you said such a thing?
I was going crazy.
I said that only because I was so flustered.
The vice principal called me,
for a severe dressing down.
I almost got fired on my first day.
Tsk.
Aigoo.
That was the day I saw Seo In U first.
Mr. Lee called me to go to that hotel.
If I hadn't gone there,
Seo In U wouldn't have mistaken me as his blind date.
Had it gone like that--
That was the day you saw me first too.
The taxi in front of the hotel...
Oh, right!
Now that I think about it,
Seo In U's hyeongnim, that was also the day I saw you first!
We'll be late.
Let's run.
She's already forgotten my name.
Seo In U's hyeongnim, come fast!
I said it's Seo Jae U.
Hurry.
No, no, our moving in... was not because of you, Seo In U.
Oh, come on... it's alright.
Well, why not? Liking someone and moving... can also happen you know.
No.
Really, it isn't like that...
"I like you alright,"
"but I didn't move for that"?
Aigoo. My back. (Aigoo - Oh my, heavens, etc)
Aigoo.
A young fellow. What's wrong with him, to be sleeping like this?
He should be getting married and sleeping hugging a wife!
In U. Get up.
In U.
Just 10 minutes. 10 minutes.
The young lady from next door is here.
The young lady from next door is here, I said!
Grandmother!
Really got you there!
Aigoo. That's our uncle!
You handled the thing so fast.
=Didn't I say I would take care of it?=
I know, I know.
We will have it ready. Come down quickly.
It's been hurting for a while.
Mom. Uncle said he will be eating here,
so get something ready fast.
You! Instead of passing that order, can't you at least clean these dishes?
Should I be up the only one, up at 3 in the morning and running around?
Making meals. Cleaning. Ironing clothes.
They get done as I'm here.
My shoulders are about to fall off.
You be ready for that.
That's why you shouldn't do all the pile of work at one go.
After they are off to work, it's enough to do the cleaning later.
Really if you come down with something, what do we do?
Aigoo, such a loyal daughter I gave birth to.
You even worry of bad luck striking your mom!
Even if you die you won't say "I will do it".
Don't make it worse. Put on some herbal plaster.
Don't worry about me. If you hate doing house chores,
at least go to the rice cake shop and sit at the counter.
For no reasons, you call that hotel boss to come over,
only thinking of having fun.
Mom,
Certainly you can't say such things about Uncle.
If it's anything to do with our family, he's there to run around.
Where can you find such a person?
Uncle said... that he wants to eat that dwaengjang soup you make. (Beanpaste soup)
You should take care of your husband like that, for a change!
Whoa... You're perfectly fine now!
Hyeong. (Hyeong - older brother to a male)
There's surely some reason why they moved into our next door house.
If it is not because of me,
do they have a situation they can't talk about?
Whoever has a situation,
why are you curious about it?
Mom--
Mom, aren't you curious too?
I'm just--
That professor guy, and the older woman having something going on
is leaving me dumbfounded, that's all.
As for me,
Jeong Da Jeong saw me not taking the bait,
and may be enticing my innocent brother,
so I'm getting worried, which is why!
Look at you.. You! In my view, the girls there are doing nothing,
but it's you making a big deal. You. You're making a big deal. You, you.
Me?
You!
Stop worrying about the neighbor matter now.
Uncle will take care of quickly fixing the issue.
Uncle Gung Yeong?
Will what Uncle says work with Grandpa?
This time it's different.
Just like even monkeys jump off the tree sometimes,
I think your Grandpa has made a huge mistake.
Hey, according to Uncle,
The woman next door is--
No, nothing.
The woman next door?
What about Jeong Da Jeong?
You boy, you boy!
Is there no other woman but Jeong Da Jeong next door?
Then, who's it?
Why do you make me curious, saying only half the story?
You trust your son?
Scammer?
Hey, no way.
Right in the morning... spoiling the mood.
Author Han Song Jeong.
Do you know Mr. Gim Cheol Su?
Mr. Gim Cheol Su.
Now what fight is he trying to pick?
You don't know Mr. Gim Cheol Su? That can't be possible.
Really...
you don't know Mr. Gim Cheol Su?
How would I know such a person?
Move aside.
If you don't know Mr. Gim Cheol Su,
you just shouldn't be going in to this house!
Who on earth is that person, for you to again pick a fight?
Gim... Cheol... Su...
I am asking for a last time.
What is your connection to our Father?
What is the connection,
for you to not even know the landlord's name,
but still get the house on rent?
Not knowing? Who talked of not knowing?
It's not like I am blind, either.
Gim Cheol Su.
I didn't want an argument and pretended not to know.
Right from morning... My friggin luck.
F... Friggin luck?
No sense of propriety in how she speaks.
Author Han Song Jeong.
He even looks like a walking corpse.
You thought you could fool me like that?
Before you saw the name plate, you didn't know the name Gim Cheol Su, right?
Again what scam are you pulling?
Ah, seriously.
The moment you see me you keep saying scam, scam.
What scam on earth did I pull on you?
Deceiving people and lying, is conning them.
Unapproved use of the hotel.
I can close my eyes and say fine.
Like at the book signing, you want to again be humiliated?
You better stop there.
What's with you?
As I'm a woman, it seems you want to bully me.
Try once more to call me a scammer.
You look so much like a walking corpse.
Bright and early, you come to somebody's house and start yelling.
Pointing fingers at women.
What is this you are doing now?
Better be careful.
Please go in, Doctor Gang.
Anyway, who is this guy... to come and butt in?
He is a boarder at our house.
Boarder?
The divorcee?
Divorcee...
Who do you think you are?
What makes you think you can get into people's private life?
Hey, Yang, Secretary Yang.
You. Come out.
Doctor Gang.
Just forget it.
With someone getting pretty old, that should do, right?
So.. So I would say...
Speaking of this younger guy--
Doctor Gang.
I am sure... you can see.
this man's legs shaking.
Out of shock, his legs got weak and he can collapse too.
Let us go in.
Wouldn't you watch your mouth?
Yikes!
That scoundrel really deserved it.
If there is any need in the house for a man,
please call me any time.
I will protect you from any bodily harm!
But...
where had you gone?
Yes. I went for a bath and came.
If I used the bathroom right from the morning,
I was afraid it would be inconvenient for everybody else.
Oh, the public bath in front of the house is really clean and well-kept. Whoa.
Who knows if he's a bit dull, or just nice...
In any case,
Doctor Gang's timely appearance
was very good.
Doctor! You're again getting praised?
What did you do today?
Nothing much in particular...
This bugs me.
Mom!
Da In.
What's wrong?
Suddenly no hot water is coming.
My heart almost stopped.
Why are you hyperventilating?
We have a man here. What is your worry?
Doctor Gang. Please check the boiler. (Boiler - water heater)
Sure.
Huh, me?
Da In.
Oppa. (oppa - older brother, boyfriend)
Oppa, do you have a number to call for boiler repair?
Why the boiler?
It's gone totally kaput.
At first at least cold water was coming out.
I don't know if we did something weird,
but now even cold water isn't coming.
If even cold water isn't coming,
it couldn't be a boiler problem.
Can you help take a look.
Me?
Yes.
It's time to go for work. Is it okay?
Now two of them have ganged up or what?
In U.
You. That...
You know that... madman next door, right?
So what is the real story with them?
Are they a mafia? Mafia?
Oh, hell... Wow.
Hey.
Uncle,
Over there, do you see that short-hair girl?
She's the 2nd daughter next door.
Well, she's the con's daughter.
Uncle, you are mistaken.
The neighbor family isn't a con gang.
She's an author. A best-seller author.
Aigoo. That itself is the scam, you see!
The next door people... are all con artists!
Especially, that guy you say is your professor.
Is it true that he's a real professor?
Professor Gang?
You saw him?
He is a most-respected person.
Respected?
Jae U is innocent, so okay.
But you can't be like this!
Do you know why the next door folks moved in here?
I said it was because the 2nd daughter liked me, no?
That's surely why they mov--
Yeah, somebody likes someone... right!
From that family... every word, and action... It's all a lie.
The neighbors.
What is the best thing to do?
Not the neighbors, but it's for me that I asked you to come fix things.
That 2nd daughter only needs to see me to just go all weird and--
Should you also get a shoe-kick from a woman like Jae U did, for you to get a grip on yourself?
Kicked with a shoe, you said?
Jae U never told you?
At my hotel,
the woman in that house
kicked Jae U leg... Just a
pow!
Woman?
Jeong Da Jeong?
Jeong Da Jeong? Who is that?
Han Song Jeong!
That... older woman.
Aigoo, Uncle.
Eat first and chat.
My appetite... just left me.
Then I will... get going.
Sister-in-law, you just prepare a Last Supper.
Last supper?
It's the last one, you know.
The end will be clear then, in all its ornate glory.
Why the cold water wasn't coming
was because the valve was closed.
What?
I mean, the water...
I asked you to get it to come out, but you closed it?
One might not know how to, the first time.
Because it's different from house to house.
The boiler is regularly checked,
so it wouldn't have any big problems.
If this situation happens at any time,
if you pull and turn it, that would do.
Oh, that's what it was?
It's different house-to-house.
Please ask to try the hot water.
Da Jeong. Can you turn the boiler on?
Yes, it's coming.
Oh, it's coming. Hot water is coming.
It's sure different, having males around. As we've only women in our house...
Aigoo.
What? Why? Gang Eun Chan, what?
There won't be any problems for the time being.
Since something went wrong as soon as we moved,
we were startled that we might've touched something and broken it.
Just be comfortable. If anything breaks, we can just fix it.
Thank you.
Would you like to have a drink before you go? Fruit juice or coffee?
There's no need. I need to go to work.
This is my eldest daughter. Have you met?
We saw each other briefly when you moved in.
I am Jeong Da Ae.
Yes. Then, I'll--
Oppa, do you have time today?
Do you want try being my model?
You really give off a wonderful vibe.
Me, what... model?
Ah, it's this smile!
In that innocent smile, I can find a young girl vibe.
Huh?
- A young girl? - A young girl?
Oppa, your dark skin, and those arms...
make you quite manly... but that smile is--
Hey hey hey.
What?
Didn't he say he needs to go to work? Don't bug him.
You know... don't pay any attention to her. Go on.
The hot water is gushing out well.
You're still here?
You'll be late for work. Better go quick!
Yes.
Anybody here?
Oh my. Please come in. Please come in.
Hello.
Yeah.
Hey. Why are you coming out from there?
I was helping them fix the boiler. (Boiler - water heater)
Thank you.
See you again.
Thank you.
Suddenly no hot water was coming.
Your eldest son just tinkered a bit and it was fixed in a jiffy.
It must be very comforting to have a son like him.
That's right.
Please sit down.
No, no, it's fine.
I'm not sure if everyone is free today,
but can we have... a dinner together?
Dinner?
You know all my family folks, right?
Yes.
You were not around at move-in time?
When we were cleaning, I had said hi.
Da In!
The oldest in my family is Grandpa.
Then there's my husband too.
You haven't met, right?
Right. Then, if you were to meet on the road
you'd even pass by without recognizing each other.
That wouldn't be good, right?
Yes, that's right.
We should have come over first to give our greetings.
Would 7 pm work?
Of course. You are inviting us like this.
The time will have to work!
Then, see you soon.
Yes, see you.
All of a sudden, why a dinner?
I don't know if I can clear my schedule.
I wonder... Is this some special day?
Mom...
Take it as something to be grateful for.
It was urgent to find a house and they let us come over easily.
They were the first to invite us to a dinner too.
All of you come back without being late. Got it?
You... were late yesterday too.
I had part-time work.
I need to hire a professional model. But you say you don't have money.
It's at 7 o'clock. Don't be late.
- Yes, mom. - We know.
This will be over, so let's go through it.
Damn, the clothes that the youngest daughter wears!
If she were my daughter, I would just whac--
Ajumma. Ajumma.
Yes. What is it?
Please tell me the eldest brother's cell number.
Well... wanting some guy's cell number... To do what?
I need to ask him a question.
If you want to ask something, just ask me.
Is he employed?
If not, I wanted to get him set up for a part-time job.
What are you talking about?
He is NATURE marketing team's section chief.
Oh... Then, I guess I don't need to set him up for the job. Thanks and bye!
What kind of a girl, really! Oh... seriously.
I don't like it, I don't.
If she won't give me the phone number,
I can just look for him at the company, no?
NATURE marketing team's section chief?
After all the expenses at the moving time,
I don't know how much is left now.
If we have to move out of this place and at least find a room,
I definitely shouldn't be spending this.
Mom!
Yeah. What?
Help me buy and macerate some beans.
When we go to the Grandpa's house, let's make something good and take.
Is taking even some food okay?
He wouldn't even take the rent money.
What? Really?
Yeah. Instead, I had said that I would be writing Grandpa's autobiography.
But getting even this invitation, makes me still feel bad.
Taking this opportunity to express gratitude, I do want to buy something for him.
I understand how you feel, so let us not overextend ourselves.
I can just see that Mr. Lee ajussi had run away without giving a penny.
To write a book again and earn money will take some time, right?
Mom. If we feel truly grateful inside and cook something good, he would be happy.
Earlier when I took the cinnamon punch also he was very happy!
Is it fine for me to come in?
Beans. Make sure to help me soak it.
What is this?
The boarding fee. It's just an amount I guessed.
If it is not enough, please tell me.
Though just for a month,
I am thankful to you for giving me this chance.
Doctor Gang. Before I take this, I have one final thing to ask.
Really... Must you be doing it, going this far?
Even now, if you give up Da Ae and leave,
I will be sincerely grateful to you.
I am sorry. When I came here, even bringing my son along,
though I did it in a big hurry,
making up my mind was not easy.
Though you will curse me for being shameless,
I still would like to stay here for the one month.
Fine then. Since you are a border, naturally I should take the boarding fee.
You can go out.
Yes.
So what are you going to do about it?
What is your plan? The plan...
I told you this uncle will handle chasing them out, didn't I?
President.
Been a while, I guess?
Looks like you're off to work?
I will call you.
Let's go.
Yes.
Not getting in?
Yes, I am. Sorry.
Ajussi. Ajussi.
What to do?
While making snacks for Eun Chan,
I made some for you too, mom.
Don't skip lunch, and make sure to eat it!
Eldest daughter, Da Ae.
It isn't like it's an illness that gets cured by medicine.
No need to get out with me. I am going.
Eun Chan. One sec.
Take this with you, and eat it with your friends.
I'll be sure to have it.
Embarrassing...
Gang Eun Chan. After school, come straight to the hospital.
Eun Chan.
I'm going to be late.
Be careful.
~ Looking into the mirror, as I was watching my image there... ~
~ Time, get out of the way. ~
~ My age-- ~ Aigoo.
Aigoo. Sorry... In any case, it's good that you all don't have ears and noses.
~ Time, get out of the way. ~
Mom.
~ My age, so what about it? ~
Where is my white blouse?
It was stained by makeup, so I washed it and it's hanging out to dry now.
Why did you wash it? I've been looking for it for a while!
And now where are you going?
Really.
Aigoo, when will she be a grown woman?
Will you only grow up after I die?
Aigoo.
Isn't the sun too hot? Would you like to wear this?
This is one I have used, but...
later I can buy a new one for you.
There's no need. You wear it.
Try it once, please. I also seem to have blurred vision now.
If the sunlight is brighter, it gets really bad.
It will be better if you wore this.
Really?
I'll help you put it on.
Put it on like this. It should work.
If it's uncomfortable, you can push it up like this.
Like this?
Yes.
Are you going to go somewhere?
Yes, to the publisher.
Since I've finished moving house, I need to start writing again.
I need to do my work.
Book?... Are you an author?
Yes, I just write a little.
I looked for some work that I could do from home, and started to do it.
I've been making a living out of it so far.
So, that's how it was?
Somehow, I never felt that you were the kind to just live as a housewife.
Since I didn't have a husband,
how could I just do housework and survive?
Ah, that's right. I should have figured.
Oh, right! Is there anything you'd like to eat?
Me?
Yes, though I don't know how it will taste,
my girls and I want to prepare something.
We have the dinner invitation, after all.
Invitation for dinner? To whom?
Huh?
What is this sudden dinner?
You asked me to get along well,
so I invited them to dinner. You're unhappy even with that?
What trick is it up your sleeve?
Ah, mom, seriously. I was almost done with the make up!
It annoys you to make a meal for even your kids, but you'll make a dinner for the neighbors?
For once I wanted to drop all misgiving and get along, as I invited them for a dinner. Why not?
I'm your mother. Do you think I would believe what you said?
Even yesterday you were trying to find ways to kick them out. Say what now?
Aigoo. Hey. Speak the truth. What shenanigans are you up to?
Mom, first you take that visor off.
Don't know where you got such a lousy thing.
The next door lady gave it to me, saying that too much sun makes the eyes sore.
Aigoo. Aigoo. You took that, and promptly got tricked in by her.
Aigoo, really.
Give at least something like this, and then talk.
Aigoo, forget it. I just can't seem to talk to you. Aigoo.
Sin Ae! Is it true that this is only with good intentions?
What bad intention would I have?
You think I would really cause trouble after inviting them over?
I'll prepare dinner then.
Mom, if you're unwell, then go to the hospital.
Did you say dinner?
I don't know. I don't know what she's trying to do.
She said she would cook it herself, and said I could leave.
I thought I'd come for at least a bit of help here.
But wait... Even yesterday she was here creating ruckus about a contract.
May be once she saw the contract, she felt a lot better?
What, are you getting so much rent, good enough to make her feel better?
We had agreed that she'd write an autobiography for father-in-law in place of rent.
She is an author... which is why.
Autobiography?
Aigoo. What happened to you?
Still thinking of writing this?
It would be good to write down father-in-law's life for the children to read, anyways.
Aigoo. It seems great, eh?
I really envy you. Still thinking of publishing books at this age?
Why don't you include my story in the book as well?
We've been through half a century together,
it'll be sad to not have me in there, right?
Aigoo. Why do people who come to help out...
end up having so much to talk of?
You... We can handle the work here ourselves.
You just go home and see if she is doing the work properly. Hurry.
Okay, got it.
What's suddenly got into your wife?
Did your... so-called sister next door... spill some beans or something?
If that's the case, why is she preparing dinner?
Going by my wife's nature, she'd be over here in no time.
That's true too.
Aigoo. Just one lie is all it was,
but now I am feeling pretty bad about it.
I've been in literary circles for over ten years.
A little while ago, one of my books came out too.
By chance, have you heard of this?
Not sure. But the title isn't bad.
Thank you very much.
We had talked about a followup,
but as the publishers aren't doing so well,
nothing was done about a 2nd edition.
I'm also planning some follow-up works...
We have a lot of writers under contract.
What I meant was... not about having a contract signed right away to write.
For now, as I am thinking of my next works,
to get my mind all relaxed,
I wanted to start with some easier work.
Well, some manuscript editing is quite fine.
Oh... I have also helped write several autobiographies.
We will review the book, and get back to you.
For the past 10 years, I have only worked with one publisher,
so in fact, there aren't others that I really know.
I must ask your favor to get back to me.
Author Gim's manuscript has still not come?
Right. It still hasn't come.
Oh that old fellow. Why is he always late?
Yeah, oppa.
I'm now out somewhere.
Yeah. What time?
Kindly wait a moment.
Where are you?
Yeah. I will finish moving soon. You want to come?
Let's eat lunch together.
Now we can also eat in the room.
Today is full with the patient appointments.
Uncle. I've been... a bit concerned.
Getting that next door family out of there is really fine with me,
But let's just... send them out peacefully.
That just won't do.
That woman had really done something to me.
You'll anyway never see her again, you know.
Uncle, from now on I'd really rather live without worrying of them.
If we unnecessarily mess with them, things will get worse, I fear.
The problem, is about to get even worse.
Looks like you still don't know how serious the situation is.
Wait till dinner and see. You will surely be thanking me.
Oh come on, why not just tell me?
Uncle, you've been snooping on them, right?
They came to our place due to some situation, I was told. What is it? Tell me at least that.
I told you, you know... that the neighbors came with some ulterior motive.
Ah... really. Hey, she isn't a woman like that.
She's a woman capable of that and more!
I am confirming it, for you. Come, and don't be late.
Hello... Uncle... Unc--
Ah, so much of Kimchi is left over.
I don't see him today either.
Gang Eun Chan.
The nice little well-spoken rascal.
Give that to me, and go eat the canteen food.
In the school premises, please act like you don't see me.
I fear I cannot do that though.
I asked not to bother about me.
There you are! Now you're like Gang Eun Chan.
All smiles at home, but come to school and it's all sneer, sneer.
How long will you live two-faced like this?
I know you're having a hard time. So just talk to me.
This will be a favor to me. It's fine to toss me around at home.
But at school, just leave me alone.
Fine. I will do that.
But, in return for me keeping quiet about your two-faced life, eat the canteen food.
Nothing comes free, okay?
Gang Eun Chan. Go buy us some drinks.
Only 10 minutes left in the lunch hour.
What do you plan to do?
Hey. Didn't I ask you to buy us drinks?
Hey. It will be me buying you drinks.
What did you say? What's between you both?
You want another chat with the vice principal, may be?
I don't think so, okay?
"I need no treatment costs. Say it."
Huh?
"I do not need treatment costs".
Did somebody beat you up?
We hear there's no need for treatment costs!
Geez...
Eun Chan.
You guys wait...
"I need no treatment costs. Say it."
Damn, why is this coming up?
"I do not need treatment costs."
That ajumma is already a hopeless case.
Hey. Let's not get involved.
I'm no ajumma, I told you! (Ajumma - Old lady, aunt, etc)
Bullying a classmate. (Ajumma - Old lady, aunt, etc)
And you have no other soup either?
I came to see section chief of Marketing.
Mr. Eun Ho.
If the picture magazine advertisement concept is ready,
set up the schedule and send me the email.
As for a photographer...
You know this month's SG had a live products photos, right?
Yes.
Contact that person,
and get a portfolio of his advertisement photos,
and set up a meeting time.
Yes.
Oppa!
Oh?
Isn't it lunch time?
That's why I picked this time to come.
How did you come here?
Your mom said I could find you here.
My mother?
But... Oppa, you look quite different from how you look at home.
Seeing you at work, you're damn cool!
Home?
Section chief Seo. Who's she?
From our neighboring house, and she's...
What is your name?
Han Da In.
Han?... Da In?
Yes. Han Da In.
Jeong Da Jeong's sister being Han Da In, surprised you?
A bit.
When my mom was carrying me, my dad passed away.
She had some problems with my dad's family,
So she just put me in her own family registry.
Oh...
I usually don't talk of such annoying matters.
Oppa....
The expression now is really good!
I guess I can't do modeling,
but on anything else you need, I will help you.
Tsk. Can you help me catch some one person?
What?
In fact,
yesterday, perfectly fitting my photo concept,
"young woman within a young man"... there was I guy I had found.
He said he would call, but hasn't done that.
It's almost time to submit the assignment.
Actually that's why I rushed over to you, oppa.
Thanks for telling me honestly.
Since you have no other models,
to reject this would make me feel quite bad.
You wouldn't do it, and can't help is what you're saying now?
Yes.
I really like that expression.
Unknown number?
Hello--
What's this? He hung up.
This looks strange.
You should've picked up on one ring!
Heol! What crap is this?
Oppa, take a look at this.
This is what the guy sent!
Should I even hire him as a model?
That's pretty good. You can take it as naughty young behavior.
Seeing the next message,
he has a young woman's petty ego too.
Would that be so?
Wait and see. I think another call will come.
I see. I will just trust you, and wait.
But, can I ask your help on something else?
Tell me.
My mom's book was a best-seller.
But may be there was some problem,
and one fine morning, all the copies suddenly disappeared from the book stores.
As per what Mom says,
due to a marketing strategy,
the second edition isn't planned.
The way I see it, it just can't be so.
What's wrong?
Follow the rules!
This wasn't a limited edition either. What's up with this?
Please let me know how to get my mom's book to sell big time?
Right now, it's a bit difficult.
Why?
I have still not read that book.
Once I read it, if I think of a way, I will let you know.
Yessir! For real, no?
Section chief Seo.
Something worrying you?
Yes.
Then, I'll let you worry.
If you wanted to say something...
Yeah. In fact,
You asked for some smaller size hiking shoes, and brought a pair.
It was to give that woman just now, right?
But it seemed you both had a fall out.
What fall out?
The hiking shoes were in fact for her older sister.
Sister?
- Look at that! - Great!
Now we find he always had this in him!
Do you perhaps know "Achasan flying squirrel"?
Achasan?
She used that nickname, while doing product testing for us, she said.
Oh yeah... Jeong Da Jeong?
Right.
Oh, I know her really well.
Lately we have had no contacts. How has she been doing?
She became a dietitian, it seems.
Wow. She's done well!
Do ask her to come sometime. I'd love to see her.
Sure.
You still haven't bought beans? It needs to be soaked for a long time.
Yeah. I had to go somewhere.
I have bought beans. But what do you want to make with it?
Kong-gogi. (Kong-gogi - A soybeans substitute-meat dish).
As it's a light dish, (Gonggogi - A soybeans substitute-meat dish).
I thought Grandpa and Grandma would like it. (Kong-gogi - A soybeans substitute-meat dish).
Why not? That, marinated beef, and salad for 3 items would be just enough.
But.. Hold on.
Over here... the prices are good! Cheaper than elsewhere.
Quality?
Good. Looks fresh.
Hey. He did recommend a very good place to me.
Da Jeong. This feels like a banquet.
I'm feeling good, doing groceries.
Mom.
Yeah. Is there anything else you need?
No.
Remember the President at the book signing?
That sleazebag? You also saw him?
Had you also seen him?
He is the "Uncle" in the next house.
I think that man has something against us.
What if he makes a racket like he did at the hotel?
Don't worry.
Hey. I saw him in the morning.
He got all nervous seeing Doctor Gang.
He is just all loud voice.
But he's a scaredy-cat. A scaredy-cat.
No problems then, right?
Grandpa and Ajussi will all be there. You think he will dare speak nonsense?
Don't worry. Don't be late, and come home.
Yeah. I said I will meet oppa ajussi,
I'll meet him quickly and go home.
OK?
Hello.
- Yes. - Your mother is doing fine, right?
Hello.
6 portions of marinated beef,
for 12 people to eat, please.
Yes.
Song Jeong!
- Oppa-- - Son-in-law Seo.
What are you doing?
No, just my arm...
Mother-in-law. Why are you here?
I came to buy some pork.
Need to cook quickly,
- Make it fast, please. Need to cook quickly,
but I don't trust her, So I thought I'd get some stir-fried dish.
Oh, I see.
But you should be telling me, what you are doing here at this time!
- Mother-in-law. That.... - Aigoo. Who is this?
You're here?
Aigoo. I meet you here also!
This is my son-in-law.
Nice to meet you for the first time.
Yes. Me too.
What are you talking about? You met at the move-in time, you know!
Oh, yeah. Yes, yes.
How come you're like a drunk guy waking up, getting startled again and again?
Let me take my leave first.
- Fine. - Okay.
You haven't settled it!
What?
The meat's cost.
Oh... Oh yeah. Sorry about it.
Is it because it's a hot day?
Why are you both so absent-minded?
- Nothing-- - Oh, nothing like that.
People who are so much younger than me... How come you look more lost than me?
If it goes on like this, how will you make it through the summer?
Just waiting for the call to come.
The camera is pretty good.
How do you do?
Looks like it's here that we meet again.
Were you taking a picture of something?
-=Sparrow Flour-mill=- Signboards.
Signboards?
This shop's signboard. Brand-name.
For a rice cake shop brand-name picture,
this camera's a bit of a waste.
Brand-names are important. They are the faces of the stores.
Well, I guess... See you next time.
Miss Han Da In.
What are you doing?
The name is the face, you know!
Hello. Cafe near the school? Now?
I think it would take me an hour--
30 minutes.
I'm also headed in the school's direction.
If we go by taxi it, it should only take about 30 minutes.
30 minutes.
The first vibe was just right. He's got a stink-pot attitude.
I could get that "innocent girl within a young man" out of him,
but I have to work with him to know.
Can I watch by the side as you work?
Why?
Honestly, that concept...
I've become curious how you would make that work.
In exchange, I'll at least hold the board reflector.
You need an assistant anyways.
Then... I've got to be thankful.
You are someone that Prof. Cheong acknowledges, no?
But, there will be no asking me to buy you a meal or a drink later, okay?
He is my assistant, helping me in this project.
I am Jeong Hui Ju.
I guess I understand that you came prepared.
For the modeling, how much will you pay me?
What? You have no money?
The concept is on innocence. How can you talk about money first?
Ask about other things first.
The studio is?...
Bonggu Studio.
Bonggu studio? First time that I'm hearing it.
It is at Dobong-gu's Dobong area. My private studio.
Next question?
Make the shoot as short as possible.
Don't worry about that, and
just get ready in clothes that match the concept.
Okay, I will get some.
Now, the modelling fee.
Please send us your profile first.
We'll decide after we check into it.
Of course, of course!
You said you are a pro, right? A professional model.
Do you have a project that we might know?
You were begging me to do it, not long back, no?
I never begged though.
I only said working with me would be an honor.
Nevermind.
Anyway, you can't pay my real fee even if you died and came back.
I am a pro.
Rather than cut my standard rates,
I might as well ask for something else.
What?
Let me think about it.
This is something you should be telling us first.
Well, leave that there, for us to think about at the site of the shoot.
Please give me back the memory chip that you took in the club.
It's gone.
What about the photos I took from the club?
I need to give those to get my part time fee.
Is your part time fee the problem?
After getting me?
What kind of talk is that?
Look for it again.
I'll be going. I have an important appointment.
We're meeting our neighbors to have a meal.
Meal?
That's more important than me now, you mean?
Yeah. There's an oppa that I like, who lives next door.
Since the elders will be eating,
Soup with marinated beef should be done well.
Yes, mom.
When is the kong-gogi getting done? (Kong-gogi - A soybeans substitute-meat dish).
A bit more boiling now, will do. (Kong-gogi - A soybeans substitute-meat dish).
What about Doctor Gang?
He has a seminar in school today.
And Eun Chan is at his cram-school too.
He said he was sorry for not joining today.
That's a relief, if he said sorry.
If he were to come, I would be so worried I might choke.
Let's make no mistakes today and do this well.
The first, be careful. The second, be careful too.
Da In, you... change clothes before you go.
Are we going on a blind date? So annoying.
Da Ae, be careful not to make mistakes in what you say.
And Da Jeong, you...
I will consider myself dead and stay still with my mouth shut.
Did I tell you not to talk?
I'm just asking that you be conscious
and not be so down.
You have your mom (me).
All of you, be sincere in thanking them.
Absolutely don't look so down.
Understand?
Yeah.
Here we go!
You got it!
I don't know if it's my nose,
but I don't know what she's making.
Aigoo! Oh my!
It seems like Sin Ae is making it.
You go change and come out.
Sin Ae!
You invited people over but see the food... What is that there?
It's enough to have rice and kimchi stew.
What about it?
What? You, damn...
It's not like some dignitaries are coming.
We sharing one courtyard, so what's the big deal on a meet-greet?
Even our family folks don't eat like that.
Try it, try. It's yummy.
No need!
Why hit me?
Did you prepare this
after you told me to go out?
When the heck will you grown up?
If you even think of father,
you should not be doing this.
Excuse us.
Oh my!
Is someone there?
Hurry and go out!
Hurry!
Mom!
Hold on. This... you can't go with those.
Take these out.
Oh, mom! Mom! Ah...
Oh, welcome!
You're here?
Thank you for inviting us.
Hello!
Aigoo. You're all here.
Yes, sir.
Hello.
So you made it?
Yes.
Why are you standing like this?
Have a seat.
Come and have a seat.
My girls and I made some food to thank you for inviting us.
Aigoo. That's great.
My arms were hurting so bad
and I suddenly had to sleep.
So I wasn't able to prepare anything.
Come and sit down.
Sit down. Sit down.
Bring the dishes that we made here too.
I'm still cooking the kimchi stew right now.
Kimchi stew?
Only that one item?
Rather than having a lot of side dishes,
having just one that is tasty... is enough, right?
Well, we're sharing the same courtyard after all.
We should be honest.
So I just set what we usually have.
There's no need to be pretentious and hide things, I felt...
Isn't that how it is?
Oh, of course.
We're only thankful that you are feeling comfortable with us.
Isn't it so?
Yes.
Husband, her daughters prepared this.
Isn't it pretty?
But then... I don't see your second child.
For treating the elders, she's making some kung-gogi, but she will be here soon.
Why don't I see Jae U and In U?
Jeong Da Jeong.
Seo In U's hyeongnim.
Are you just coming home now?
Yes.
What's that?
- It's kung-gogi. - Kung-gogi?
It's a meat-like dish made from beans.
I made it for grandpa and grandma to eat.
It's light, so it is good for older people.
Give it to me.
It's hot.
I brought another pair of hiking shoes.
It's size 240, right?
So you really brought it?
It was okay for me to share one with Mom.
If you keep on slipping,
you can't conduct the product testing properly.
I received hiking shoes again and I can't be running with my own bare feet.
So I will work twice as hard on the testing.
You know Team Leader Yun Han Sul, right?
Of course, I do.
Team leader always took care of things for me.
But I haven't even called her.
Come and visit our office some time.
Team leader said she wants to see you.
Is that so?
I better give her my mom's book.
For me too.
Can you lend me your mom's book?
You want to read it?
Yes.
Okay.
Let's go in first.
Yes.
Hyeong.
You're here.
Yeah.
Hyeong, you didn't hear anything from Uncle, right?
Yeah, we haven't had any phone chat. Why?
Let's go in first.
Is there some problem?
Let's go in.
Aigoo. Except for the doctor and his son,
both households have gathered.
There are so many folks that my stomach feels full from just looking at them.
Having as many family members as this,
at one dinner, feels like it's for the first time for me.
Is that so?
Such a gathering... feels good?
Yes.
All the daughters in one line, makes for a great sight!
In my childhood, I lost my parents, to tell you.
I was by myself, wandering here and there at one time.
That time itself I had decided
that I must have a lot of kids.
But, is it something a man can just decide?
In the end, I only had two.
One son decided to go to America to study.
Nowadays, he doesn't even come back.
Then there is only a sole daughter.
Then there's one who takes care of us elders better than our children. My son-in-law.
Well, I... feel embarrassed, Father-in-law.
This son-in-law came to us,
and gifted the family with Jae U and In U also.
That fulfilled about half of the wishes I had.
Now the next door house...
is for my grandsons to move into.
All of the family being in one place and living happily together...
That is my other remaining... half of the dream.
For renting out such a house to us, I'm really so thankful.
This wasn't for me to accept formal greetings.
I am just saying the feelings I had behind it.
So to say, whether you stay for a month, or for even a day,
I hope you would stay there happily... and peacefully.
That's right. Though we got off to a crazy and confusing start,
let's hope that in the end we'll see it all as great.
Aigoo. It's some great food that the neighboring daughters made.
Let's eat it quickly. Let's eat.
Yes.
Eat.
- Yes. - Thank you.
Oh my... Looks how this tastes!
It's really delicious.
You also try some.
Taste this.
It's a meat-like dish made of beans.
It's very comforting, once you eat.
Aigoo, their coming next-door is also some kind of destiny.
What destiny? Oh, come on...
Eat well please.
The kimchi is so fresh, and very tasty.
Is that so? I did it, you know!
Later we will do it again.
Eat some more.
Sure. We'll enjoy it.
After we eat, what do we do?
For two families to live in harmony, they need to get close.
To get close, we need to pick a karaoke bar!
Da In...
Karaoke bar?
We have a karaoke machine at home!
Jae U... Because he knows I like to sing,
he has set it up to work with the television.
Once we eat, shall we do some singing for a while?
My vote for it.
Mine too.
Look at you guys...
If it's singing, In U is very good at it.
The boy can do some dance too.
Grandmother...
On singing.. our Jae U is also pretty good.
Come on, what?
Then it will be just me wearing earplugs today.
All of you try some singing.
You asked for it?
~ Ngyaa, ngyaa, ngyaa... So what about my age? ~
Allow them to eat!
~ Why can't I be falling in love? ~
~ There is only one mind... ~
~ There's only one feeling. ~
~ It is only you that I am in love with... ~
~ Hey, years, get outta here ~
~ Heck, so what about my age? ~
~ This is just the right time to fall in love. ~
Oh crap, the food is all cold. Let them eat.
Hey, we can still eat.
I'm back.
Come in fast...
Uncle!
No... Again, only I was left out and... all of you have gathered for a meal, it seems.
Why are you late like this?
Really.
Uncle.
You come and sit down.
Come on. Come here and sit. Sit down.
No, no, it's fine...
Before sitting down, I happen to have something to say.
These are folks who moved into the next door house.
This is my son-in-law's junior.
For us, he is just like family--
Mother.
As a family member, I have something I must say.
That woman... must be sent out right away!
She is a scam artist.
You. What are you talking about?
Father, you also are all deceived by that woman.
Look here!
Hey hey hey... Yeong!
The contract for the house next door.
Whose signature is this?
Look!
Han Song Jeong, just as that woman signed, and this contract's signature... are different!
The handwriting analysis conclusion... was that the same person didn't write them.
It's not that woman's signature.
Who signed in place of that woman?
Who deceived the whole family, and made this fake contract?
That is... Hey, you fellow...
Hey hey, Yeong.
Look here...
Is it you, Father?
Min Sik hyeong?
Who on earth signed this contract?
Ah, damn.
-=Next Episode Preview=-
Are you crazy?
You slapped me?
Even if I live with nothing,
I would never live like that.
To me, this is blood and sweat money.
I beg you to take it and get lost!
Let go. Anyway, you aren't my mom, right?
It's enough if you butter up my dad.
I am Han Song Jeong.
Autobiography?
Copy writing fee 30,000,000 Won? (~US$ 26,000)
Jeong Da Jeong, you both have time today?
You're interested in a divorced woman?
I didn't know that you were having such a hard time.
I will not like you anymore.
