Episode 12
Can I have your car key? I have to get sober before going home.
You can get sober tomorrow morning.
I might smell of alcohol to my brothers.
Why don't we take a spin?
Aren't you tired?
I'm fine since I take a nap during daytime.
Also, I'm a man. This is no problem.
Let's go.
What are you going to do with the money you earn?
I'll give it to my parents
What a good son.
You are a good daughter.
Even though I kicked out my parents?
It's just living separately, not kicking them out.
You know, women in these days... including my friends,
They'd rather stay single than marry a RP.
What's RP?
Risen from Poor family.
No matter how brilliant a man is, if his family is poor,
a woman has to support in-laws.
So whether he is a lawyer or a doctor,
they say they won't marry a man from poor family.
Really?
Yes.
I have to establish my family fortune, so that no one treats my brothers as RPs.
She's really a good woman.
You said you would marry, right?
Yes.
When you have a girlfriend, show me.
I'll observe if she's a good fit for you.
What kind of woman do you think is a good marriage partner?
First, diligent. And character's important too.
I used to despise a lazy woman but not anymore.
If there are many lazy women, it means the probability of my success goes up.
Nowadays, I feel good when I see a lazy woman.
"Be lazy, but I will work hard."
From tomorrow, get up 30 minutes earlier and have breakfast alone.
Do you think I'm wise?
Yes. And manly.
A responsible man is a manly man.
That's a compliment.
Do you know what kind of women attracts men?
Sure. Someone pleasing to their eyes.
She has to have a pretty face and shapely legs.
But her character is the last one men look at, right?
Unwise men look for things you've mentioned.
How about wise men?
Do they look at her heart?
Or intelligence?
They are attracted by an uplifting woman.
They are attracted by a soul mate.
That's true. We can't resist a soul mate.
I talked too much while you rarely asked me a question. Isn't it?
Did I?
You always answer briefly.
Right.
My dream is to become a drama writer.
I'm very much interested in people and the way they live.
I see.
Please tell me whenever you hear a funny story.
Oh, do you know the story?
If a woman puts her handbag above her head in the rain...
It's a fake, but if she holds it in her arms, it's a designer label.
Do women really like handbags?
Well...As for me,
I think I'd be moved by a man who presents me a puppy instead of a bag.
A puppy?
Yes. There's so-called Westie.
I know.
You do?
With a scut-like tail, and it looks like a mixed Schnauzer and Yorkshire, right?
Right, that's right. Isn't it so cute?
It is.
If someone presents me a Westie puppy, I'll dedicate myself to him.
Don't speak carelessly. What if someone really present you that puppy?
One with a good pedigree values several thousand dollars.
And it's rare in Korea too.
Who would present it to me? I wouldn't tell him.
But you just told me.
I really enjoyed drinking tonight.
A pleasant drink is good for health.
There's one thing we lack here.
What is it?
If you were a woman, we would be real good buddies.
You are a good conversation partner.
Don't draw a line between genders and just treat me like your good friend.
Oh, I remember Kyle once said conflicts stems from distinction.
Dividing and differentiating...
Oh. Really?
Yep.
Why do I feel so comfortable and pleasant with him?
She makes me wanting to please her. What is this feeling?
Goodsoon.
Come here and sit.
From tomorrow, get up 30 minutes earlier and have breakfast alone.
Why? I can't get up that earlier.
Your dad could find your eyelash thing.
Don't worry. He doesn't know. I'll eat my hat if he finds it out.
If you get caught just once more, he'll surely stop your schooling.
It's not in my destiny. Don't worry.
So your destiny led you to be caught at the theater the other day?
You make your own destiny. Don't be reckless.
How could he know when even you didn't know?
I was distracted by the thought of your brother.
Is he your only child? Pay more attention to me.
I do now, but do you ever listen?
Yes.
Mr. Suh is almost home.
Ok.
Dad is home.
You don't look that drunk.
No.
Dad.
You might have a tummyache.
It's ok.
Delicious?
Of course.
Oh, spoiled girl.
'Cause I'm the youngest. Don't expect too much from the youngest.
Seems you have something to tell daddy.
Why?
You just checked his mood.
What is it?
It's about Younggook. A matchmaker found a real good woman for him.
Who?
A JBS anchor woman.
Who?
It's none of your business.
Tell me. I won't spread.
Hashil Park.
Oh, Hashil Park.
There's no rush. He can see her next year.
She's pretty popular these days and we can't make her wait.
So?
Call him in and have him see her just one or two days, please?
I saw her host a program. She looked sophisticated and pretty.
She's an extreme makeover.
How do you know?
Her original face is on internet. You wanna see?
I don't think you can recognize her.
What? Do not spoil?
How can I sit back when it comes to my brother? I'm against any artificial beauty.
Don't you think so, daddy?
Yes.
But women in these days all get some surgeries.
I don't.
So you did...
I don't want a public figure as my daughter-in-law.
Take your time to find a modest girl.
When a matchmaker introduces another girl, ask for her high school album.
We need to see her original face.
It's better to see her 10th or 11th grade picture,
for girls usually get surgery at 12th grade.
Mind your own business.
Dad.
Yeah?
Don't allow him to live separately after he's married.
Why?
I want to watch over my sister-in-law. Ok?
If you don't run wild to marry before your brother.
I'm not interested in a man.
Can I trust you?
Why would I lie? I prefer a girlfriend to a boyfriend.
Don't waste time listening to her. Why don't you take a shower?
It's already midnight.
Uh? Are you off today?
Night shift.
Oh.
Do you need my help?
Put the rice in the bowls.
Can I have a bowl of rice too?
Sure. We have enough rice.
You scoop it better than I. Neat.
I told you I was a trainee at a temple.
Scooping rice and slicing vegetables is so easy.
Why don't you run a restaurant with me instead of being a monk?
Sounds good.
Coral, wake Amber.
I woke up.
Thank you. Good bye.
Aren't you thirsty?
I am.
No time to drink water.
You greet female customers. I'll do to male customers.
I'll just work in the kitchen.
Aren't you gonna greet to your dinner customers?
Mostly, Kyle does.
Are you resisting this important minor thing?
Ok. I'll greet to males then.
You know ying and yang. Please take care of female customers.
Then I'll take care of all customers.
Why?
Just because.
Ah, we'll have rice.
Did you bring rice?
Yes.
Thank God. I missed it.
Coral's girlfriend made it. It's not bad.
Rice is better than bread. Koreans must eat rice.
We'll have rice as breakfast from now on.
But it could be troublesome in the morning.
Not at all.
You don't have to.
You must eat well when you work so hard.
You work hard too.
Go ahead. Soup might get cold.
Ok.
Excuse me, the lady has been waiting for a taxi.
So? I saw it coming and stopped it first.
Taxi stop is over there, and you should wait in line.
Get off my way.
Pull it to over there.
What the!
Please get in.
Hey!
Thank you.
Taxi will come soon.
I'm late!
You should have come down earlier.
Are you teaching the client?
Keep your manner, please.
What the heck are you, doorkeepers!
What a bad luck, darn it!
The same goes for you, darn it!
Darn it?
Did you say darn it to the client?
Forgive us. Oh, there comes a taxi.
Bad luck fellas...
Hey, it's better to stay away from that kinda piece. Curb your temper a little, ok?
Slowly...
Ok...
What should I do?
Oh, Hello.
I'll go. Don't tell my children.
Ok.
Is everything ok?
Yes. Ruby is shampooing. She's on a night shift today.
Good bye.
Hello.
It's me.
Hi.
Send Heja here.
Why?
Why what? I'm her mother-in-law and I want her to come!
She's not home.
Huh? Where did she go?
To look for a job.
Then you come over and prepare a meal.
Am I your servant?
My back went out. I can't even stand.
How come?
I tried to lift the TV.
Why?
Is that Heja?
Yes.
Your mother-in-law looked for you.
Why?
She threw out her back.
How come?
While she lifted the TV.
Why did she do that?
She needs you to prepare a meal.
I'm not going. I know I can't be nice to her.
Just go.
How could she ask me to come when she shunned me the other day? No.
That old troublemaker...
It's all fixed.
Ok. Thank you!
Sure.
Oppa, lock the door please.
Ok.
So, why did Jedoug take the blame for the nurungji?
Wasn't it him?
Didn't you know? Jedoug lied he ate it, when it was actually my dad.
I knew it's not him. He's not the type of a liar.
So my question is why?
No idea. I'll ask him.
So it was your dad.
That's my dad.
Aren't you going to temple today?
No. There is a ceremony.
Then you have to go and help, don't you?
I don't like people watch me weirdly and pick a talk.
Don't you like talking with old ladies?
I like talking with children.
Maybe that's why I play with you.
It was squabbling, not playing, ok?
You alone got upset, but I didn't.
One hand doesn't make a clap. It needs two hands.
Isn't Coral's girlfriend coming today?
Why? Do you miss her?
No, I'm going to go out after she comes.
I'll go help Jedoug.
You can go. I am here.
You know...why don't you bring your parents back home?
Why?
Korea is the country of courteous people. You can't let them stay out there.
We had a good reason.
That your father brought Prince?
Please don't try to meddle into our businesses. We couldn't help it, ok?
As for the nurungji happening, do you think it okay to sneak into the house at night?
It's his house, and he didn't know the kitchen door would fall down.
Don't do anything that you may regret later.
By enduring differences and difficulties, you will be able to grow mature...
Then why did you run away from your life instead of enduring it?
I did't run away from it.
What can I say, I gave up the vested right.
Keep your nose out of this business. Ok? Stay out.
But I feel pity for your mother.
She stopped by a while ago to see if you guys are doing ok.
You are not in my shoes, don't say that easy.
If you couldn't live with them, it's you to leave home, right?
In my country, children leave their parents, not send them away.
Did my mom appealed to you?
No. I heard from grandma.
Goong grandma or Pi grandma?
Goong grandma.
It's none of your business.
You'll regret it.
I won't.
Honor your parents, and you will be prosperous in...
Stop. We've reached the limit of our patience.
Why?
He's poking his nose into our family affair. I was too nice to him.
How do you think if I sell seafood pancake?
It's not easy. Needs some techniques.
Just focus on sausage stew.
Yes, ma'am.
We might need a slicing machine though.
But we don't have enough space to put it.
That's the problem.
Actually we need a dishwasher too.
It's not a big deal to chop scallions.
I need your signature please.
Who's the receiver?
There's no name, but the address is correct.
It's addressed to The lady owner of Smiley House."
Who's the sender?
Mr. Jonghoon Yune.
Do you know Mr. Jonghoon Yune?
No.
Can I just return to the sender? I don't know him.
Sorry, our policy doesn't allow a return.
Should I sign?
Thanks.
Thank you.
There's a card.
What is written?
My name is Jonghoon Yune.
Though I don't know your name,
my heart is filled with the fragrance of your pleasant smile.
Can you guess anyone?
No idea.
Didn't you have many male customers yesterday?
Hello.
It's me.
Hi.
Your grandma needs to go to see a doctor..
Goong grandma?
Yes. She can't move. Her back went out.
Ok.
I need to go to see my grandma.
Why? What happened?
I don't know yet.
She's too popular...
Oh, you came this early?
Yep. If you don't need me, I'll go.
No, no, no.
What's this flower?
The owner here is popular among young men. A present from her fan.
What should I do?
Fill in table napkins, please.
Why did you say you ate nurungji when you didn't?
Because I thought you ate it.
But still, you didn't have to.
Remember, we were too busy that night to have a dinner.
But I had an early dinner.
That must have been digested, for we were so busy.
And I was sorry that I didn't give you anything to eat...
That's why.
You're an angel.
It might be easier for you to reach nirvana than me.
You should have called us before Ruby went to work.
It was not severe this much, but it gets worse.
Oh, you have weak lower back then why...
You have a night stool, right?
Yes.
What for? I can crawl to the restroom.
Help me to sit up.
Why?
I need to pee.
Be careful.
Hold on, hold on.
Oh, God...
Ouch, it hurts.
No, no. ouch... no.
Hold on.
Stop pushing me. Leave me alone.
Hold on. Stay back. Oh...
Oh, my...Ouch...
Hurts so much...
Hold on...
How are you? Any sickness?
No.
Doesn't Prince cry for us?
No.
Seems he is destined to live motherless.
Are you happy without us?
I love having coffee during a break from busy routines.
This is what happiness is.
Don't you think the Goong children went too much?
What do you mean?
They sent out their parents and...
I think it's better to live separately than to live - in strife.
Then they should have left home instead of driving their parents out.
You were not there on Sunday.
Mr. Goong wept a lot.
It's parental duty to set a good example and be responsible.
Some parents do wrong and hurt their children.
I don't think that any parents can justify their wrongs just because they are the parents.
They could have resolved the matter by talking.
I don't think they didn't try. It must be their final resort.
What?
Nothing.
Is it funny?
Oh! Did you just come to work?
Yes, I'm on night duty.
Can we talk for a second?
Seems you're in a good condition.
I am. The doctor allowed me to go home this Friday.
That's good. Now you should really take care of yourself.
Ok. Did you talk to your parents?
They want me to keep working at the hospital and look after you occasionally.
I could understand but...
I'll stop by you often and check your condition.
How often? Once a week?
No. Whenever I have time.
Prince, say this "hello."
Hello! Say it.
You want some fruit?
No, just want to take a break.
By the way, Jade left some money.
She asked you to use that money for a grocery shopping.
It doesn't cost much.
But you bought fish yesterday...
Mind your study only.
Do your parents know you're coming here?
They do.
Don't they say anything?
I explained them well.
Excuse us, we're leaving.
Ok, study hard.
Yes. Good bye.
So, when did you teach them?
In their fifth grade.
Kids in these days are mature. I thought they were high school students.
Me too.
Do you sell a bowl of rice too?
Yes, it's $1.
Three please.
The rumor is true. You're beautiful.
Thanks.
Miss, he is a bachelor.
Good afternoon.
Sweetie, do you know where radish is?
Uh... at the bottom in the fridge.
Ok.
Huh? Is she married?
I was told she's single.
Married women in these days look like single.
Excuse us. We thought you're a single.
It's ok.
Table no. 3.
Ok.
Welcome back Kyle.
I'll be okay in one or two days.
Mom, even a young woman can't lift a TV.
I didn't lift it. I dragged it.
Then how did you put it on the floor from the stand?
Ask her when dinner's ready.
You are really...
Is dinner ready?
Mother, do you have salt?
I do.
It's in the small pot in the balcony.
How much?
$8.
I can't imitate the taste at home.
I know.
Bye.
Good bye.
Come again.
Should I have addressed you "honey"?
To me?
Male customers keep trying to pick on you.
So bothersome. We better act as a married couple.
Don't use me as an excuse.
Why would I use you as an excuse?
'Cause old ladies pat you on the hip.
I'm a man. I don't really care.
So you want us to call each other "honey"?
Isn't "sweetie" a bit weak?
You don't look like a married man.
Then is "sweetie" better?
What if you lose chances of getting married?
That's an issue for later. If I lose chances, so be it.
One shot!
One shot, one shot, one shot!
One shot, one shot!
Wait, why is Sangsik washing the dishes?
Because I'm wiping the floor.
You can wash the dishes after doing that.
Mother, I prepared the dinner. What's wrong with his doing the dishes?
Why do you have to have him do that when he came back from a long day?
Oh, Mom, stay lying in bed.
Imagine Coral and Amber serving as a slave like that. Would you be happy?
It's not like a slave.
Mom.
Doing chores is women's share of work.
What do you do other than fiddling around?
Mom, go back in.
Mother, there's no men or women's work in these days.
Mother, we don't draw a line between men's work and women's work now.
Then why not go make money? Instead of fooling around...
Just go in!
You are bold in mouth only.
Mother, please go in to take a rest.
Take care.
You too, take care. Call me.
There's a bus.
Hey, Goodsoon!
What?
I need to talk to you.
I'm listening.
I decided to like you.
Are you kidding me?
Good night.
Hey...
Hey!
Lord, forgive my hypocrisy.
Aren't you going to sleep?
I'm not sleepy.
Please... you know her.
I won't become a mother-in-law like your mother.
They don't live with their daughter-in-laws in these days.
Gosh, she gives me a hard time as well.
She never ever listens to me.
It's the same with my mom.
But your mother at least takes care of herself.
Sometime she's so selfish.
But that's still better than being foolish like my mom.
What's the big deal that a TV is in the living room?
Why did she have to move it?
You know she's a neat freak.
Do you know how it makes people around her tired?
She tires herself and she tires us.
Who can change her?
If she were my child, I would scold her.
I can't eat the rice my mother cooks.
It's not even rice. It's like glue.
Because she has a digestive problem.
She earned it by eating watery rice.
She never listens to me.
I'm like a caterpillar that always lives on a leaf.
I'll make you meaty food tomorrow.
Why did she have to do earn the trouble by doing that stupid thing...
I can't believe she's my mother.
Coral! Where are you going?
To exercise. Call it a night?
Yes. Where do you go for an exercise?
There's a park near the spring.
Can I join?
Sure.
What should I do?
Is that Coral?
No, it's me.
What is it?
The light went out when I was washing...
Then just finish it quickly.
Gosh, I have shampoo in my hair.
It's burning my eyes.
The light here went out too. I'll go out and buy a bulb right away.
We have it.
And a flash light too, in the kitchen sink.
Where in the sink?
I got it.
But I'm undressed.
I'm not able to rinse my hair since it's so dark.
Do you have a big towel?
In my room. Why?
Wrap a towel and stay in the corner while I change bulbs.
Ok?
There a dresser in my room. The beach towels must be in there.
Ok.
Here it is.
Why no one's home?
Coral stepped out for a break.
I'll wait here. Come in and change the bulb quickly.
Ok.
Come in.
Why did you close the door?
Because cold air comes in.
It's ok.
I'll make it quick.
Prince woke up.
Can I look after him after changing this?
Please.
Someone's here. Hurry.
Don't come in. I'm changing a bulb.
Ok.
Amber, go take care of Prince.
What are you doing in there?
The light went out while I was shampooing.
Done. Turn on the light after I leave.
She's getting a cold.
Give me a ringer shot. I drank too much.
Help me get sober. I need a ringer.
How much did you guys drink?
I don't know.
Come in.
I'm...
I miss you so mu...
Have to wait.
Wait for a moment.
Yes.
You can use the bathroom.
Aren't you catching a cold?
It's only a sneeze, not a sign of a cold.
Did I offend you at the restaurant?
Actually I initiated it. Don't worry.
Then it's your turn tomorrow, ok?
Want some snack?
No thanks.
Don't study too late.
Is dad sleeping?
Yes.
Check daddy's cell phone for Younggook's number. It's probably in there.
Oh, hi!
Making ramen?
Noodle. I'm hungry.
Amber ate ramen.
Huh?
You want some?
Are you showing off your benevolence by this?
No.
Here.
Take some out of it.
It's not that much to split. Also, I don't want to spoil its plating.
Just leave two spoonfuls for me.
But I can't...
It's okay!
It looks nice as it is. Please go ahead.
How does it taste? Good?
I know I'm talented in so many ways.
Did you learn it at temple?
Yes.
My vegetable pancake is also good.
When can I taste it?
Tomorrow?
Sounds good.
Do we have more noodles?
No. And no more garnish.
I'm afraid I'm gonna eat it all.
Finish it.
But you're hungry too.
I feel stuffed at the sight of you enjoying it.
You're impeccable except when you're nagging.
But that's all for your good.
Here's the change.
Thank you.
You got a cold, didn't you?
I think so.
Yes you did. You should have listened to me.
Don't you trust me at all?
What do you mean?
I closed the door to block the cold air but you asked me to open it.
Because I thought you might feel stuffy in that hot and damp place.
Go home. Or go get a shot.
It's time to open. I can't.
I'll prepare food as in your recipe.
You can't.
If you don't take a rest now, you can get worse.
You can't work alone.
Then get me a helper. You said there's a helper, right?
Hello.
It's me.
Hi, mother.
How are you doing?
Doing ok.
Where are you?
Northern Seoul.
Where?
How did you find my number?
I searched through your father's cell phone.
Do you contact him once in a while?
No.
What do you do now?
Working hard to make money.
Though it could be only small sum to you.
Don't skip the meal.
Don't worry. I have to work.
Can you go on a date?
You know I can't.
Please.
It's Hashil Park, the JBS anchor woman.
Tell me the recipe, and please go home.
Please listen to co-worker, Ms. President.
No, you listen to me.
Take off your apron, or I'll take it off.
Do you want me to take you to a hospital?
Don't worry. Just go home. You can trust me.
And please listen to me from next time.
Do you need a ride?
No thank you.
Yummy!
Coral will come to take the laptop.
Don't work with computer. Just take a rest.
It rains. I'll give you a ride.
No. You can be infected.
I won't.
I can walk under the umbrella.
Let's go.
Get in.
I'll seat in the back.
Did something happen in your family?
No.
Actually, I got a cold since yesterday afternoon.
Then why did you ask me to leave the door open?
Do you still feel bad for that?
Text me if there's anything you like to eat.
Jedoug...
Yes.
Will you go with the wind?
What are you talking about?
Disappear without saying goodbye.
I'm not that kind of man.
You don't mean I should leave, do you?
I wish you stay a little longer.
Oh, thank you for calling me to inform. Yes.
Mother, I'll be out for a while.
Where are you going?
To Jade.
Aren't you gonna prepare a dinner?
I'll be back by five.
Hi.
Where's Jade?
She's sick so she went home
With Jedoug?
No, he went to grocery shopping.
Did you catch a cold?
Yes.
Where's Coral?
He took Prince out, for he kept grizzling.
I was told Jedoug called you sweetie. Is that true?
Yes.
Are you crazy? Out of mind?
Because male customers try to pick on me.
You shouldn't have quit the TV job.
This is more profitable.
Money doesn't matter.
It matters to me.
Tell him to quit.
And?
I'll help you.
I'm tired. Leave me alone.
Let him quit!
You can't help me.
Why not?
Do you think you can go huge grocery shopping and get up before daybreak?
Maybe you can a couple of days.
You can lose your chances of getting married!
I'm not going to marry.
Why? You lack of nothing!
I'll tell him.
Don't!
You don't even know where he came from.
He's a reliable man.
You never know people.
I knew this would happen when you started partnership with him.
Then you shouldn't have rented him the room.
I can take care of myself.
Listen to me just once.
He does all those dirty works. So helpful.
You're completely taken in.
Don't be ridiculous.
Once determined, a man can seduce a girl with flattery,
acting as if they can catch the moon for you.
Jedoug's determined to tempt you since you're a good catch.
Stop making me tired.
Listen to me, and nothing's gonna go wrong with you.
Has anything gone wrong with me?
They say "Even Homer sometimes nods."
Mind your own business, instead of making me worse.
How come you are not careful of men?
Remember the biter can be bitten. Wake up!
She's a dietitian.
She'll give you an instruction on diet therapy at home.
How do you do?
.Another busy day?
Yes. How's Jade?
She's sleeping.
Did she eat anything?
Couldn't eat.
She has to try to eat something.
I'm gonna make her bean-sprout soup tomorrow morning.
Good. Good night.
He shouldn't have made me expect it.
Why?
To work.
Take one more day off.
I'm ok.
Go in.
I took a full rest. You can't work alone in the busy morning.
You think I can't? Don't worry, ok?
You need my help?
Make sure to eat breakfast. Ok?
Here it is.
Did the miss who used to be here quit?
My wife?
Oh... Are you her husband?
Yes. She got a slight cold.
Here's your receipt.
Have a nice day.
What is it?
Seems someone left it.
How are you? Good job that you've gone through it,
and congratulations on your discharge!
I'm sorry I can't see you off tomorrow, for I'm on night shift.
Please be joyful as you live from now on, ok?
If you need my help, feel free to call me at the below number.
Ruby Goong.
What is it?
Try to eat.
Ok.
Feed him steamed egg today.
Ok. Jedoug is such a great help to us.
I know.
He asked me last night how you're doing.
We can tell people only after experiencing them.
That's right.
Prince, you must not call us mom. We are your sisters.
Say 'Sister.' Sister.
He's pitiful.
Yes, he is.
Poor little boy.
Eat well and grow up healthy.
Sorry, I forgot to make vegetable pancake yesterday.
Are you upset?
Why did you make a promise you can't keep?
Sorry.
Were you hungry a lot?
Come listen to me.
There's one thing I can't figure out.
Clueless.
What?
Just sit.
