Episode 1
That's good!
Hey, why are you peeking in my house?
Well, I'm...
Are you here to receive some offerings?
No. I'm a new rentee.
Rentee? Are you sure?
Yes.
I haven't heard.
I spoke with Ms. Heja Pi.
How are you?
Hi.
He's a foreigner.
What is it?
We got a rentee.
How are you?
Hi.
Come on in.
This is the one, right?
I can't believe this.
Can I borrow a duster? I need to clean up the room.
When are you going to move in?
Today. Isn't Ms. Pi here?
Call Mom.
I did, but she didn't answer the phone.
How could she let a room to a lad?
Excuse me.
Mister!
Isn't he a monk?
Oh come on, a stay-at-home monk?
Yes?
Did you pay off the rent?
Yes.
Where on earth is she, not answering the phone?
Maybe in a beauty shop?
How many times did we tell her not to rent a room to a lad?
You know Mom.
I'm going out to get some stuff.
Ok.
Excuse me.
Why don't you find another place?
Like where?
We are a big family. You might feel uncomfortable.
It all depends how you look at things.
Where are you from?
The United States.
Oh, America?
Yes.
He could be an illegal resident, right?
But he has an intelligent presence.
His attire was not like that of an English teacher.
Sis, I have good news.
What?
Dr. Yoo's mother wants to see her.
Really? You'll see his mother?
Yeah.
When?
Tomorrow evening.
We can then conclude that he's made up his mind to marry you, right?
How did he say? Tell us in detail.
Just casually. "Are you busy tomorrow? My mother wants to see you."
That's good! You only need to get his mother's approval then.
That's not a problem for Ruby. She always charms everyone.
So, where? Are you invited to their house?
No, we'll meet at Hill House. What should I wear?
Something decent.
I know I should look decent and pretty, but I don't have a proper suit.
Then buy one. Let's go. I'll help you to choose one.
By the way, what should I say if she asks about Dad?
Just be honest.
I think Dr. Yoo already took care of it.
Coral, call him a "bro-in-law-to-be, not "Dr. Yoo."
Didn't you tell him about our family?
Well, not in details.
I don't think you played a scion, did you?
He can't decide to marry without knowing about you.
We're busy. We didn't discuss every detail of our families.
But at least...
You found out his background, say, his father passed away leaving a hospital.
You know his mother's hobby, the square ft. of his house,
and his sister's marriage life with a lawyer.
I'll take care of it. Don't worry.
Are you going to tell Mom?
No way! She would blow her own trumpet only to spoil my business.
You guys, don't tell her anything.
Honest is the best policy, especially toward elders.
Okay.
Can you get me an autograph of Sohee Yoon?
His mother is her fan.
Let me see if I can arrange an interview with her.
Please!
I gotta go to Woobin's place.
For what?
Kind of a party
Who would be there?
Woobin, Taesung, and...
Can you leave the room? I gotta change my clothes.
Long time no see!
Oh my, what is this smell?
My goodness!
She must be asleep again.
You scared me!
Oh, what an awful sight.
Don't be mean. I'm still in a good shape.
You think you are.
Have you gone senile to walk around naked?
Don't you see this swimming suit?
Where do you think you are? You're over the hill.
Look, my neighbors go to swim.
One of them is 84.
Go get dressed! You burned the broth.
Haven't you burned anything?
Didn't you burn mackerel the other day?
It just got scorched and stuck to the bottom of the pan.
You never admit your mistake.
What brought you here?
Didn't Amber call you?
No. Why?
The room was rented to a Yankee.
Yankee?
You heard me.
Male?
Yeah.
Handsome?
That's not the matter. A storm is brewing.
Why?
Jade and Ruby were upset since Heja didn't say anything about it.
Amber called to see if she's here.
Disappeared from work again?
Your daughter is really something, isn't she?
Mind your own son.
I'm serious. She can't run the business like that.
Remember how she bothered the kids to start the store?
Now she's already sick of it and leaves it to Misook's mom.
She creates employment at least.
It's only a matter of time when she's washed up.
Then get the fat chick.
Be serious.
Is she really that thoughtless to have a Yankee stay around Jade and Ruby?
Look at your word choice. You can't call a foreigner Yankee.
Why do you have to always sound so vulgar?
Because I'm ignorant.
So am I? I didn't get schooling either.
It's not a matter of ignorance or intelligence.
Then what?
Character, or personality.
We're known by our words.
As you become older, you need to be to be gracious.
But all your talks are so bitter and rough.
Look yourself in a mirror.
It's obvious in your face that you're "irritated."
But at least, I haven't extorted money out of my son.
Same here.
Look around. What are those? Were they for free?
You are a shopping addict to fill your bottomless greed.
Isn't it your new habit to do home-shopping?
So, your son badmouthed about me like that?
I heard it from Amber.
If you get married to him, would that benefit us too?
Of course. I became a nurse to catch a doctor bachelor.
Should I go to a medical college?
Once you're admitted, I will support you by all means.
Jade becomes a famous writer, you a doctor's wife,
Coral a diplomat, and I a doctor.
The mere thought of it makes me excited.
It's honor to our family!
Can't Jade hook up with a celeb like Woobin?
Isn't she prettier than any actress?
Too pretty for a mere writer.
Exactly.
A good-looking guy makes a girl pay the price.
But not me.
Who knows? Fame and money can change you.
You and Coral shouldn't inherit what runs in our family.
Don't worry. I'm not like Dad.
If I cheat on my wife, delete my name from the family register.
Before your name's deleted, you'll be dead in my hand.
As you wish. Don't you cheat on your hubby though.
By the way, the famous Woobin Hwang is a trash.
My friend's sister working at Castle Hotel says
he frequently comes there, with a different partner each time.
He's just a boy and he's already a womanizer.
It's inevitable. Women are just crazy about him.
He's not a priest so how can he just ignore them?
Fine, sleep with any leech, and you'll pay for it.
I won't! I will not defile my body.
I have sisters so I'm not curious about women.
We'll see if you say the same in future.
Don't touch it. I'll do it. You hands could smell bad.
You are such a cute brother.
My friends drop honorifics to their older sisters.
How rude.
Go in and do a facial for a perfect makeup tomorrow.
Are you sure?
To prepare a meal is a piece of cake.
Coral!
Yeah?
Will you go to the spa with me?
Spa?
Ruby!
If you two go, people would think him as your boyfriend.
So?
What if your fiance's acquaintance saw Coral,
and made a wrong report to...
Hi, you came.
So someone moved in, huh?
Hello.
Jade, Mom's in an ER.
What? Why?
I don't know. I heard she's bleeding out.
She got an accident?
I don't know in detail. Just come over to the University Hospital. Now!
Oh my! Hurry up!
Wait, come with me.
Grandma, hurry!
Mr. Younggook Suh?
Yes.
They are in the lower level. I'll show you there.
Cheers!
It tastes good!
I'll give you one.
Do you have another bottle?
Yep.
Mr. Suh is here.
You look great!
The same to you. You look awesome.
Only on surface.
This is my friend. He just came back from studying abroad.
How are you?
You're handsome as an actor.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
Thanks.
Will you have a reverse surgery?
Yes.
Can you afford the medical fee?
How much would it be?
Depends on materials.
Cohesive Gel will cost you $6,000 for both.
What's that?
It's a tissue-like disinfectant shell for breast implant.
It gives the breast lifelike look, free from rupture.
If the surgery goes well, it'll become a part of your breast tissues but,
since it's invented recently, there're not many reports on a side effect.
Ok. I'll go with it.
The pocket will be implanted here.
You'll have to wear EB for 2 or 3 months after the surgery, which will be painful.
And you should be on a diet, too.
Ok. Ok. Please do to me now.
We should give you sufficient explanations.
The surgery is extremely painful. Will you get a shot for a painless anestheria?
What's that again?
It's not covered by medical insurance,
but it can reduce the pain during the surgery by appx. 80%.
You might feel a pain though.
Ok.
Do you have a guardian?
I said I had none.
Then please sign on here.
Where's the ER?
Over there.
Jade!
How come you arrive this late?
We were stuck in a bus.
You should have come by taxi.
We're five.
Oh God, don't take her away.
Be strong. Life and death are providential.
Oh God, my Heja...
Grandma, Grandma!
Grandma, grandma! Are you alright?
Grandma!
My goodness! Grandma, get a grip!
Wait, wait!
What happened? She got an accident?
No.
You said she's bleeding out.
Hurry, let's go.
She's in surgery.
Did she pass blood through the vulva?
Something wrong with her brain?
No.
Gosh, what is it?
You know, she had surgery around this area...
You mean the chest?
Well.
She got a heart attack?
Not the heart. The breast.
The breast? Why?
Is there a tumor?
No. You know, a cosmetic surgery.
Cosmetic? You mean the breast makeup? How?
By putting silicon inside.
What's silicon?
I can't believe this.
Really?
Yes.
Wait, what's silicon?
Where did she have it?
At Dongsoo's house, by a retired nurse. I think she's a phony.
I need to talk to a guardian please.
What are you talking about?
That's our Mom.
Isn't this a news item?
Wait.
Reporters might come to interview us. They once covered a similar story.
In that case, someone died.
Go home with grandmas.
How's my daughter?
She's getting a boob job.
Why?
A breast cancer?
Her boobs had burst during an unlicensed implant.
That's why she's here.
Help me up.
Do it yourself. You're not gonna die.
So, is she in a critical condition?
Critical? She's getting things taken out and sewn up.
What did Sangsik say?
I didn't tell him.
He wouldn't say good things when he finds out.
How shameful.
Why did she have to enlarge her boobs at her old age?
Where are kids?
Outside of the surgery room. They're all speechless.
Who are you?
I'm the landlord, but...
who are you?
Oh! I moved in your house today.
Oh, I see.
I'm Kyle Huntington.
Kyle...
Kyle Huntington.
Kyle Hun, Hun...
Just call me Kyle.
Ok.
And you are...?
I'm Sangsik Goong.
Is Goong a Korean last name?
Sure.
Oh. Something happened in your family?
Why?
Everybody ran out in a hurry.
When?
You look tired. Go home.
Coral, go home with grandmas.
I'll get angrier at home. I'd rather stay here.
She's still a patient so be nice to her.
Where'd be the end of her queer act?
My, she's crazy.
How can she behave like that as if just gotten out of a nut house?
Hello.
What happened? Where are you?
In the hospital.
Hospital? Why?
Because of Mom.
Give me that.
Hi Mother, is she ill?
Did you ask her to enlarge her boobs?
What? What are you talking about?
Her boobs had burst during an unlicensed implant.
That's why she's here.
She's getting sewn up.
What shame. Please drop your voice.
I'm infuriated!
Why not speak over a megaphone?
Are you there?
My, my...
You don't need to come over. She's not even ill.
Are you home?
Yes.
You must be hungry. Eat something.
Why can't she just live in peace for a single day?
I know. I feel pity for you and the kids.
Gosh...
Gosh?
She's coming out.
Oh my, she looks so bad. How's the surgery?
Don't worry. It was good.
Heja.
I thought a popular singer wouldn't sing at a private occasion.
I'm in a downfall nowadays.
Being humble would benefit you.
Isn't Ms. Goong coming?
She's supposed to come. Call her.
Jade Goong? The writer?
Yeah. How do you know her full name?
'Cause it's unique.
I think she's very amiable.
She is. And smart.
Is Jade her name?
Yeah.
Real name?
It's her real name, right?
Probably.
Lower the lighting.
Hello.
Jade, aren't you coming?
Don't count me in.
Everybody's waiting for you. Just come. Mr. Choi's here too.
Ok.
How's your Mom?
She's sleeping.
Didn't you know?
Not at all.
She's a family nuisance.
I gotta go for a business meeting.
Ok, go ahead.
Goodsoon, Goodsoon Suh!
Goodsoon, your daddy is home.
Is she taking a bath?
I don't hear the sound of water.
Please go check.
Maybe she's struggling in the restroom.
You said you'd be late.
But I missed you so much.
How sweet of you.
Why are you alone?
Goodsoon is in the restroom, and Younggook is out to see his friends.
He's taking a shower. Why?
Sorry but I can't find her.
Isn't she in her room?
I went through everywhere, but she's nowhere.
She left her cell phone home.
I got a headache.
Can I have some fruit?
Yes, sir.
Why does it take so long for Goodsoon?
She suffers from constipation.
That's why she needs to do exercise and have a balanced diet.
What should we do now?
I'll go out to find her.
Get some fruits first.
Oh God, give me wisdom.
Ouch, it hurts.
My, my...
Your wife is so beautiful.
Thank you.
She could have been an actress when young.
Seemed like she got a heart surgery.
No, just a minor thing.
Granny, I need to pee.
Ok, ok.
I'll stay with her. You can go home.
Ok.
Honey.
You must be tired.
Not at all. The presence of my princess gives me a good slack.
I'm such an old princess then.
To me, you look the same as on our first date.
I saw in the drama,
where a couple had a date at the theater on Saturday night.
I was envious.
Why? We can have the same date too.
Can we?
Sure.
Then we should go out now.
Ok, let's go.
I'm so happy. You are my all, Mr. Roma Suh!
Don't forget that, even in your dream.
Of course not.
Oh...
Oh right, Goodsoon may be...
I want just you and me. She might not like the movie we'll see.
Yes, you're right.
Auntie, make sure Goodsoon to take a sitz bath.
Okay.
We'll be late, so tell her to go to bed instead of waiting for us.
Okay.
What do you think about Susie?
Are you seeing each other?
I'm asking Your feeling.
I feel uncomfortable with a pretty girl.
Don't. You don't have to live with her.
I invited her because of you. It's up to you.
Thank you, but no thank you.
Could you fill my glass please?
Where is Ms. Goong?
Well, she's almost here.
Do you have a sister?
I do.
His sister is a real Barbie.
Remember me, please.
You like girls too much.
I have taste though.
Then explain your scandal with Annie the other day.
That's only the reporter's imagination.
So you're innocent?
Of course. She's much older than me.
Who knows you're one of many cougar hunters?
Ms. Goong is here.
So, you are today's heroin, who appears at last.
Were you on a date?
No, I stopped by home.
To adorn yourself?
Please have a seat.
You sure know the rule of drink for punishment.
Can I just drink slowly?
Don't be coy. Mr. Choi, she never gets drunk.
She knocked down Mr. Park the other day.
Really? Did I finally find my match?
Yep, exactly.
Okay.
I see you enjoying drinking.
Alcohol is food too.
Very expensive food.
Here's the second shot.
I didn't expect you to join us tonight.
I just can't refuse Woobin's invitation.
You know I like to very very much.
Thank you. Don't abandon me when I'm aged.
Finish this and sing a song.
Ok. Let's sing with me.
He did already.
Really?
Had you come earlier, you could have heard him singing.
Drink up.
Indeed, Jade switched a gear to a festival mood. Isn't that right, Woobin?
Does the machine play songs in English?
Yep.
No. 6972 please.
Eveything's in your head.
Are you showing off your bacon?
He drank too much.
Seemed he practiced a lot.
Look at his face.
Mr. Kim, keep your distance. What's wrong with you?
You look pretty and so sexy tonight, honey.
I'm not your honey.
Hey, just stop and come here.
Excuse me.
Wretch, don't play expensive.
Ms. Goong, you may leave. He's drunk.
You're disgusting. Bug off.
Stop!
Say that again.
Shut up and get lost.
Hey!
Now I see you have a low taste fit for your inferior character.
What? You wretch!
Stop there!
You wanna fire me? Do so. I will not work with a trash.
I'm leaving too.
Wait, you wanna be a party pooper too?
I didn't know she had a temper.
I'll do ticketing.
It's alright.
Hello.
Did Goodsoon come home?
Not yet.
Did she call?
No.
What about Younggook?
He's not in, either.
When she comes home, text me.
Goodsoon, do you have a tissue?
Yeah, you need it?
Please.
Did you hear her name?
What the heck are you looking at?
What the heck is so funny with my name?
What? Watch your tongue, you pygmy!
What is it? Fighting?
Darn! I hate to fight, but you really got on my nerves.
You!
Are you jealous? Come on. You're envious of us.
Hey, stop.
You're getting people's attention.
So?
Stop tickling me. Please stop.
Hello.
What do you think you're doing?
What?
You're offending public decency. You, get off him.
Grandpa, mind your own business. This is our life.
Grandpa?
We are ignorant and don't know what public decency is.
How dare!
Who do you think you are to yell at us?
Yeah, you're right.
Hey, Goodsoon is fighting with some girls.
What? Goodsoon?
Goodsoon? Didn't she say Goodsoon?
Different person of the same name? Maybe not.
Goodsoon!
Is he your grandpa?
Your grandma looks so young.
Good night.
Good night...
I like the fresh air here.
Coral.
Yeah.
I think the monk is a fugitive.
Why?
I peeked in his room and there's almost nothing.
Didn't he go out for shopping?
Sometimes delivery comes the next day.
Could be.
Man, don't meddle in another's affair.
How couldn't I? I have two pretty sisters.
Men are like wolves, though of course we're men too.
Don't worry. I'll protect them since I'm always home.
How's your study?
Good.
Must be tired.
Oh, feels good.
Here?
Do you have a religion?
No.
Is God punishing me because I didn't believe in him?
Don't say like that. I've looked after Christians and Buddhists.
I can't see ahead at all.
Shut up! Just fall on your back and sleep!
So noisy!
Excuse me. Do you live here?
Yes.
Don't leave me. You can't leave me.
Be quiet.
Who are you looking for?
Well.
Coral doesn't answer the phone.
He disposed it to devote himself to study.
How can I help you?
I'm just...
I just miss him.
Can you tell him that Ghangji is here?
Alright! That's enough.
Feel much better?
Yeah.
Who's Ghangji?
Is she your girlfriend?
No. She's just an alumna.
Then why is she waiting for you, saying she misses you?
Now?
Yes.
Don't go out.
Is she pretty?
Yes.
He looks all innocent but he must have an affair with her, right?
How did you find me?
I noted your address.
It's dangerous to walk in the...
Haven't you missed me at all?
I like to see you once in a while.
Don't.
I can't live without hearing your voice or seeing your face.
I need to talk to you over a cup of tea.
Hold on a sec.
What are you doing?
Do you have $10?
Just ask her to come in. I'll make coffee for you.
And fruits, too. Just bring her in.
Don't be too late.
Ok.
I thought she's in the room.
Go inside.
Honey, I'll talk to her.
I said go inside.
