Episode 20
May I help you?
Yes, let me have this.
Is it for a present?
Yes. Remove the price tag please.
Excuse me, ma'am. Let me answer the phone.
Ok.
Hello?
Hi, this is Kyle. Mr. Goong told me to call you.
Oh, hi. How are you?
How are you?
Let me have you talk with Mrs. Suh. One second please.
Ok.
Madam, it's Kyle.
Ok.
Hello?
Oh, hi?
Kyle?
Yes. So, are you my mother's friend?
I am.
How are you?
Fine. I heard from Junghee how you're doing...
Well, I'm doing ok.
I have an officetel available. You can stay either in my house or in that officetel.
Thank you but I like the place I live in now.
It's a bit old-fashioned and inconvenient but people are really nice to me.
When she asked what kind of tea it was, the waitress said "It's Gyolmyongja (cassis.)"
It was so funny...
Coral and I were laughing so hard, we spat out food from our mouths.
Jedoug and Kyle decided to share Kyle's room.
And? Who'll use Jedoug's room then?
Coral and her bride.
Did you pay back the security deposit?
Later, when he leaves.
What do you think?
I can't understand him. Maybe, Jade must have coaxed him.
She didn't even think about it but he discussed with Kyle and...
He was concerned that Coral might have difficulty in preparing the exam.
He's nice.
You're not even better than the strangers.
What about you?
Look, I don't even have my room to give, ok?
I think Gangji is pretty nice and amiable.
Be nice to her if you don't want to be sorry later.
You should be respected by your daughter-in-law,
if not by your children, right?
If you put it on directly...
the smell can be too strong...
So, just like this...
Oops!
Oh my goodness...
Grandma!
Sangsik, have you ever raised a dog?
Yes, several years ago. Why?
Someone gave me a puppy, and it's very cute.
It's playful and whenever I give it food...
Amber is following us.
I know. Will you wait?
I'm tired.
Dongja!
Remember I told you I needed to talk to you today?
I do.
I'll go first.
Text me.
Ok.
Talk.
Let's go somewhere else.
I know you're intimate with Goodsoon but that's enough.
Who do you think you are?
I'll be her husband.
Goodsoon's husband?
Yep. I'm serious.
Let me be serious too. Stop talking bullshit and go fly a kite!
I'll let you off this time as a classmate.
I don't care whether you're a homo or not, but don't go near Goodsoon.
What if I don't? You find another girl.
She'll be my girlfriend starting tomorrow.
You wanna a blow?
You better listen to me if you're not an animal.
An animal is not homosexual.
Are you saying I'm inferior to an animal?
You got it.
Will you let Goodsoon go if I take your blow?
Don't even say her name.
You better let her go while I say it nicely.
This is for you.
What is that?
Clothes.
What clothes?
Just take it.
Is Amber home?
No.
Why did you buy these expensive clothes?
Because I think it'll suit you well.
I can't take it. Please return.
I ripped out the receipt.
It's my present. Just take it with pleasure.
Oh my gosh, what happened?
Two thugs picked a fight with me, demanding money.
Were you beaten up?
I beat them up as much as they did to me.
You could have avoided the blows.
Are you sure your face is okay?
Yeah, it's ok.
How about your body?
I didn't get many blows, but I don't know. I might feel pains tomorrow.
Who the heck are they? Students?
Like those flunked out of school, I think.
Don't walk around alone from tomorrow.
I've knocked them out.
They might look for a chance to pay you back.
Coral, go pick him up at the school from tomorrow.
Ok.
I'm ok. Don't worry.
How can I not worry?
I'll walk around in group.
What should I name you?
How about Eggplant since Amber (squash) gave you to me?
What do you think?
Daddy's dead drunk.
Don't act up.
Who was his company?
His alumni.
Dad! Dad?
Huh?
Step aside.
Should I make some honey water?
Please.
Dad, who am I?
My youngest!
Dad, Dad...this way. This way!
Why?
You know why. Hustle, or you'll get the bed sheet stained.
Mr. Hwang, lay him this way...
Do you really want to get him angry?
Dad! Dad, not that way.
Here, this way...
Do we have a large vinyl wrap?
Yes, we do.
Going home?
Yes.
I'm getting married.
Oh, really?
Congratulations.
It goes up.
So when?
Within this year.
You'll be a good husband.
So?
I told her not to worry, because I'm doing ok.
Why didn't you accept her offer?
Do you want me to leave?
No. But you might feel uncomfortable to share your room.
I used to share a room with three monks in training.
If I looked for comfort in life, I wouldn't even think about being a monk.
So, staying with us is a kind of practicing asceticism?
With nice food, hot bath, and cozy room? I don't think so.
Mom.
Huh?
Why?
Go to another room and sleep.
Are you going to do it no matter what?
Just leave him alone.
Don't worry. Please get out if you're not helping me...
Do you know how stressful it is when my friends take him for my grandpa?
You just don't understand.
You're responsible in a part, so come and help.
What if he wakes up?
He won't. Turn on the light. It's too dark.
Dad, I'll rejuvenate you.
Don't come home drunk. It's no good to your body.
Ok.
What is it?
Huh? My cell phone.
Where is it?
You don't need a perfume, Mom.
Don't need? I'm a woman.
Look, people will find you indecent when you put this on.
You think I'm a fool?
Pearls before swine. You think perfume suits you?
What? Why not?
I can just wear it if I want.
But you have nowhere to go with it.
I'll wear it at home.
Oh, come on...
I know what is good. And I remember what people said on TV.
They said old women need to wear perfume to smell good.
Without this, you smell good enough. Scent of soap!
Who's the wretch this time? Are you itchy to cheat on your wife again?
It's not what you think. I was going to give it to a chef in my hotel.
She could give me nice food for it.
If you cheat again, you'll be really sorry in front of your daughter-in-law.
I am not as young as before.
Feed me well if you want to preach me, ok?
How dare you steal my stuff...
I didn't steal.
Then what?
If this disappears, I'll call you to account.
Why me? Heja can take it as well.
She won't do that!
How are you so sure? How?
Just go. I'm sick of you.
Did I snore severely?
No.
Are you going to take shower?
Of course I am, as usual.
Your neck should be okay...
Don't worry. It's not severe.
Well, honey...
Yeah?
Honey...Prop your neck like this.
Why?
Just because...
Don't be shy. Do I smell alcohol?
No. You smell good.
Kiss me back, please.
You are the same as on our first date.
What, what is this?
Honey!
What happened to my hair? Who did this to me?
Not me.
It's me.
Why?
To rejuvenate you.
How could you not even ask of my opinion?
I did, several times. And every time you said no.
Then why? You are so rude!
You can dye my hair while I'm sleeping.
You can try different colors on me, like black, red or gold...
Shut up!
What did you do?
I told her to stop.
By words only?
Should I have spanked her? I said DON'T,
but I woke up in the morning to find your hair dyed. I was shocked too.
She couldn't do this all by herself, could she?
Goodsoon, show us how you did it.
Honey, lie down. Actually I was curious about it...
You want me to show you, Dad?
Didn't you give me a sleeping drug?
No...
You were dead drunk last night, totally unconscious.
My arms ache.
Keep them up!
Dad, you should shampoo.
Huh?
Who said you can lower your arms? Keep them up.
Ok!
What happened to your face? Did you have a fight?
Two thugs demanded for money. We exchanged some blows.
How's Dad?
No idea. I couldn't face him.
We can live in peace without you.
Ask him to kick me out.
We have a vacant apartment, don't we?
Dad!
Who are you?
Don't overact.
We're not.
Dad, hold on.
Take that away.
I want to show you to my friends.
Dad, please smile.
Now you two look good.
How about before?
Frankly speaking, since you suffered a lot when you were young,
you looked much older than her, like by 15 years.
Who cares?
You didn't care. But didn't she care either?
Honey, you look like a new groom.
I'm no new groom without you.
Come home early tonight. I'll be mad if you get drunk.
Ok.
I'll show it to my classmates.
Then take a picture properly in the couch.
Can we?
Oh my!
It's ok.
Did you bring lunch box?
Yes.
Do you work out with an empty stomach?
I feel good when I exercise. I get refreshed.
I think I need to but I'm worried my shoulders might get wider.
You can do it without getting them wide.
How?
I'll show you.
Sit here.
Since we don't have dumbbells, let's use this.
Hold it. Think it as a dumbbell.
Extend your arm up. Prop here.
Make sure it touches your ear.
So one... bend your elbow to a 90 degree.
Just like that.
Oh...
You'll get a long sexy muscle on your triceps.
Many women do that exercise.
Wow, it's not easy.
If it's easy, it won't work.
You'll need light dumbbells.
I can buy you 2 lb dumbbells, if you don't mind?
Let's have a meal.
Looks yummy.
Was he beaten up?
He said ok but his face's got all swollen.
Is he a good fighter?
He's not bad, I think.
He attends Demyong high, right?
Yes.
What class is he in?
Do you have someone you know in that school?
No. I'm just asking.
Are you having breakfast?
You're early today.
Can I call it a day one hour earlier than usual?
What's the occasion?
You're early today.
Did Dongja hit you?
Yes.
And?
I told her I would make you my wife.
No wonder you're beaten to a pulp.
Yep. And she's beaten out of shape.
Was she beaten?
Didn't you call her?
She didn't answer.
Maybe she's very distressed.
How could you hit a girl?
There's a limit to accepting her blows. I can't marry you handicapped, ok?
Wake up...
What happened to your face? Did you have a fight yesterday?
Holy cow! Look what happened to our study bug.
Wow...
When did you buy this?
Yesterday.
Wow, I can't believe you bought expensive clothes like this.
I just wanted to treat myself.
How come?
I can't believe myself either.
Actually you need to dress yourself with nice clothes.
Women in your age in cheap clothes look shabby.
It's nice!
Ruby!
Yes.
When are we leaving?
The same hour as yesterday.
Good morning, mother?
Good morning.
Aren't you hungry?
Yes, just a little...
Please wait a minute, mother.
What will you make for me?
You're good.
Very good.
Kick water stronger, kick!
More kick.
Lower the hip.
Gosh...
Breathe in rhythm.
Keep going.
Mother, how would the children think of you?
They might think their grandmas are less caring than mere strangers.
Are you sure they'll share Kyle's room to give Jedoug's room to Coral?
Yes.
Newlywed life is critical for Coral to succeed in the exam,
and he'll attribute his success to his grandmas.
Especially, when he knows you've even given up your place for him, right?
Right.
So, don't give up without even giving it a try.
You can at least try, right?
Then where should we live?
Either place as you like.
I want to stay in mine.
Then I'll ask my mother to join you here and give her place to the kids.
To be frank with you, I'm not sure if we can get along well.
It depends on your mindset. It'll be only one year at maximum.
And when he passes the exam,
Gangji's parents will reward him with something big, right?
I know...If I were her parent, I would...
Didn't a fortuneteller say you would live a long life?
Yes.
It may be inconvenient for you but if you endure it for around 1 year,
your grandchildren will appreciate and do good to you for the rest of your life.
Oh!
You must be hungry.
I'm not. Where's Prince?
He's at my mother's house.
I'm not going to go swimming anymore.
Why?
I felt offended.
Why?
I got a new instructor, and he used a stick.
Oh my, did he hit you?
No. A swimming coach usually touches me to correct my posture,
but he pokes me with a stick.
I'm not a fish on the market.
I see. You could feel offended.
But he corrects young women, touching their bodies.
My...
He'll get old as well. How could he discriminate old people?
Look, strangers are just strangers. Only family counts.
You think I don't know that?
You and my mother-in-law are not family,
but your relationship is somewhat special as friends and in-laws. Don't you think so?
What? What do you want to say?
My mother-in-law said she'd live with you.
Really?
Yeah!
Can you live with me?
I should. Heja asked me so earnestly.
I didn't know you're such an understanding mother-in-law.
Whatever. We can't be indifferent grandmas to Coral.
Go bring your stuff.
You'll hassle me, won't you?
We can try to get along. We can at least try for our grandson.
What about the room?
What?
Who will use the room?
We can share it.
I fart a lot.
Everybody does. We'll share the air as well.
Let's live - for a few days on trial.
In fact, it's ridiculous that a married couple live separately.
Like Sangsik here and Heja there.
There are many things ridiculous in our family, including Prince's matter.
Imagine Coral's child calling Prince an "uncle".
Just pack and bring your stuff.
Now?
We'd better strike the iron while it is hot.
Oh, did you buy a new cell phone?
Yes. The same number.
They are bad. If I had found your phone, I would have returned it to you.
Maybe they're unaware of what is sin.
Ms. Boss. You look especially beautiful today.
Do I?
In fact, I took extra care of myself.
You look uplifted.
I think everything depends on our mindset.
True.
It must be her car.
Hello?
Oh really? Ok.
It's here.
Good morning!
Who'll drive the car?
Me.
Please get in. Let me explain.
Ok.
Can we get in?
Sure.
Did they agree?
Yes. My mom is packing her stuff.
What made them change their mind?
I persuaded them.
When we find they get along well, then you and Ruby come and live in my mom's house.
Ok?
Doesn't it sound good? You'll have privacy.
I'll talk with Ruby.
Why bother?
I need to act a respectable mother-in-law and...
...teach Gangji how to cook and manage chores.
What if she's better than you?
Come on, how come? Girls in this generation know nothing about housework.
Actually she prepared a meal several times, and she's very good.
You know her mother is an expert in food and nutrition.
Well.
Think it hard again.
It may not be a good idea to live with her, since you can expose your flaws.
You know you and Dad's weakness, right?
Well, we can try.
Anyway, my grandmas surely care for us.
If you have a chance, bring grandmas to Jedoug and Kyle to express thanks.
Ok.
By the way, Misook's mom told me Jedoug spoke fluent English.
With Kyle?
No. They got a wrong call from an American.
She said he spoke like a native English speaker.
Well, many people can speak English.
Not like stammering English. She said he was so fluent.
Seems he's been educated somehow, right?
I knew he had some background.
Are you comfortable in the backseat?
Yes. Very much.
Do you like driving this car?
Yes.
What car did you drive in the States?
Bentley.
Bentley? Never heard of it.
I think only a few Koreans can drive it.
Oh....
I really hate to go to work today. I wish I went far away riding in this car.
How about taking a sick day?
I can't. Drop me off, and you two drive around somewhere nice.
It's no fun without you.
I know.
What on earth happened to him?
By his character and behavior, he can't be someone on the run.
Hi!
Hi.
She wants to measure the room.
20 feet.
Isn't it too small to furnish?
They can make a built-in wardrobe in any size.
What kind of wallpaper did you choose?
Something bright.
I think you don't need have skin care since you have porcelain skin.
She's working out for the best outfit in her wedding dress.
I see.
How are your parents doing?
They're good. Can I have a dinner with you?
Sure.
Who is it?
It's me.
What is it?
Why?
What...
Man... it's really been a long since we are alone together.
The first time ever since we're married.
You're smothering me.
My Heja, you look especially beautiful today.
Oh, you look awesome too.
How about...
How about what?
Having another baby?
Oh stop embarrassing me.
Ouch, ouch!
I'll prepare a meal, and you wash the dishes.
Do me just one favor. Cook rice a bit watery, for I have a weak stomach.
I'll make it not too hard nor to watery. You can add water if necessary.
Ok.
You do me a favor too. Don't buy and store things up in my house.
If you really want to have some, then pile them up in your place.
Ok.
Also don't watch TV all day long.
Why don't you answer?
Ok.
I'll clean up in the morning, and you do in the evening.
Cleaning up twice a day?
Of course. We can't lay a bed on the floor with dirt of the day.
You know how dirty our socks get by the evening.
My goodness....
Don't look so frustrated.
You've gotten fat since you're lazy.
You think it fat?
If not, what is it?
Bacon?
It's my presence.
A bag of bones doesn't fit for noble women, ok?
You're not a noble woman.
I will. I'm blessed and I'll be a noble woman.
You'll see.
Coral will pass the exam, and Kyle will be my grandson-in-law as well.
Oh, you're living on cloud nine. Can you take on your own shoulders?
Sure.
How?
I'll give you all my assets.
Do you have any asset?
My house!
Welcome home.
Isn't my wife home?
She's in the room.
Is she sick?
No.
Honey...
Honey?
Do I look like a new bride, Rome?
So beautiful, Terry.
Wish our love lasts forever.
Even if I'm born again, I'll love you only.
Promise me.
Close your eyes..
Honey!
Honey, are you ok?
Coral refused to have a Hanbok.
Please persuade him. A new groom must have one.
Why did he refuse?
He just didn't want to, feeling awkward.
I see.
How can I prepare wedding gifts for you? Should I decide myself?
Well... Let me ask my Mom.
Ok.
A lot of things to take care before marriage, huh?
Not very much.
Do you need my help?
Peel garlic please.
Yes, ma'am.
Why didn't you listen to Gangji?
Like what?
Why did you refuse to order a Hanbok and trouble her?
Oh...
Don't turn down your wife's request. She's there to help you.
Yes!
Honey!
Ah...
Delicous!
I'm happy with this hard rice.
It just melts in my mouth.
Here for you, honey.
Honey, I feel like we're a newlywed couple.
Oh honey!
I know.
Ouch! Too hot!
Oh my. Want some water?
Hey, aren't you washing the dishes?
After this.
Gosh, that helpless TV-holic.
Gosh...
Wash thoroughly.
I do.
Hey, more thoroughly.
Ok. Stay seated. You have arthritis.
I'm ok.
Oh, you can't put these all - and there are too much of soap.
Stop disturbing me. You're making me delayed.
Go in the room. Just go, or you'll get splashed.
Go in the room!
Such a neat freak!
I must have been crazy to agree to live here.
Maybe you hit Dongja real bad, didn't you?
No. She didn't come because she's ashamed.
No way.... You'll see me home, right?
At this time?
You can't?
Ok. Where in Gangnam?
Guess whom.
Must be your dad.
Yes, my dad.
He doesn't look like a grandpa.
I think he has charisma.
He does. He's very strict.
Then why?
Why what?
You know your behavior. How come you act like that?
I don't know. I just like to. Let's get off.
Where are you going?
To a spa.
At this time of the day?
I was writing a spa scene, but I have no idea since I've never slept there over night.
So are you going to sleep at a spa? Alone?
Yes.
I'll go with you.
Sleep in your room.
I heard there's a heated room in a spa. Is that right?
Yes.
I like to take a bath there and sleep in that room, 'cause I feel a bit cold.
Maybe you got a cold.
I think so. Let me put it in the room.
Bring your towel and underwear.
Ok.
Wow, the houses are like great mansions.
Do you live in one of these?
Yes.
I envy you. You're blessed.
I think so.
I'm thinking about calling the kitty "Eggplant".
Why?
Because it's from Squash (a homonym of Amber). Do you like eggplant?
I eat everything.
If it's rebellious, I'll squash Eggplant.
That makes sense.
There.
See me home every day.
There must be a chauffeur. Call him to meet you at school.
My dad forbade it.
But I can't see you home everyday. I need time to study and sleep.
You said you like me. How can you turn down doing a small favor?
I can't. No, I won't.
Why not?
I like you but that doesn't mean I'm your servant.
I can't give up my study to serve you, ok?
I'll see you home once a week.
Gees...
Go in.
I don't need you.
I know you're strong.
I'll squash Eggplant.
If you want to. Invite me to your house some day.
He has kinda dignity and pride.
I'll be a son-in-law of that house within 2 years.
See you later then.
Where?
In the main floor.
You'll find a bath spa through that door.
Oh, I see.
How come you've never been here?
I know.
Sometimes I feel you're from a different world.
Not at all.
How do you like here?
Better than I expected. I think it's good.
Oh! Can you call Kyle?
Tell him that we're here and he can come with Ruby.
I texted her.
Ok. I'll bring something to drink after calling him.
I'll have a rice punch.
You got it.
Do you remember me?
You came with your siblings to get the money back from me.
How dare! Rude and ignorant! Don't you understand where you are?
Just give it back. It's better for you to have clients after we leave.
Oh, right.
Is he your boyfriend?
No.
Oh come on.
Hold onto him, or you'll regret.
