Episode 28
Mother, this is Jade.
How do you do?
Jade?
I don't like jade. I like emeralds.
Mother, her name is Jade.
Come here.
Pull out my white hair.
Ok...
Mother, I'll do it for you later.
Now!
Mother!
Stop...
Mother!
Get off me, young man!
Mother! Mother!
Did you sleep there?
Yes.
Why?
Just because.
See? He's now protesting Gangji.
I knew it.
Don't try to mediate them.
They should not sleep in separate bedrooms.
He had better nip her attitude in the bud. Don't meddle in domestic dispute.
You're unmarried sister-in-law, remember?
I'm hungry.
Mother, do you want warm milk?
No thank you.
What's that?
My lunch.
Do you still keep that lunch box?
This is not what I used. This was my son's.
Mother, have you kept that all these years?
I felt uncomfortable yesterday after having only bread.
That's the memory of the old days. Why don't you take a picture of it?
Why not.
I thought about our business last night.
What do you think if I'm foul-mouthed to the customers?
A foul-mouthed grandma?
Yeah.
It can go with you well. Do it.
Mom...
Just kidding.
Look, we should draw attention to be successful in this generation.
Amber told me that I sounded even more friendly with a nasty tongue.
I think he was just joking.
Don't be such a pig!
Shut up.
How was that?
Please just eat, mother.
Look at how he gobbles.
Hey, tuck in everything on the plate. Don't pick out veggies.
You're like a member of Omega Mu.
Did you call me an Omega Mu?
Hey...
Oh...
I am sorry mother.
Just eat.
I'm sorry.
Why did Sunmi quit all of sudden?
She used to say this job didn't fit her.
Then what is she gonna do?
She said she got a job.
Are you excited, Dr. Yoo?
Well...
Where are you going on your honeymoon?
Well...
Kyle could join the priesthood if his mentor passes away, right?
Maybe.
Where's mom?
In the bathroom. Why?
Dad, I need at least 10 boxes of chinaware, but there're only seven in the storeroom.
Why so many when you're not setting up a home?
I'm setting up life in a new place.
One box will be enough.
I want to give my neighbors a present to say "hi".
An expensive chinaware present?
And to my classmate too.
You don't have to let people know your family background. Live quietly.
How old is my surveillant?
She's not a surveillant.
She is. I'm not a fool.
You can ask her in person.
I should at least know her name.
Sunmi Myong.
Is she big?
Slim.
You smell a newbie in my script, don't you?
Well, there are some rough touches but...
overall, it has many strengths. It's fun.
I think a drama needs to interest people. That's the number one.
As for me, I turn on TV for entertainment, not for a moral lesson.
I should keep going on the same track.
As I see, a debut writing fairly predicts the life of the writer.
If their beginning is solid, their strength lasts to the end.
Writers with shallow ideas reach at the end of resources.
That's right.
I'm not talking about an audience rating.
Some writers hit the jackpot with loose stories, but that's it.
There are many writers who disappear after three or four drama writings.
Their contribution decreases from 50% to 25%, and so forth...
You have potentials.
How would you know?
An actor has a keen eye for a script.
Really?
Yeah.
I owe you for this chance. You even play a role.
Mr. Hong complained that you demanded too much guarantee, though.
I demanded less because of you, honey.
They might get us wrong. Call me by the name.
Who cares? I've had enough scandals.
But you were serious with a few of them.
Well... not that serious in fact.
Did you run into Kim PD by any chance?
Yes.
And?
He said my drama could hit the bottom of the audience rating.
What a curse.
He has a petty mind contrary to his size.
But he's fun. Sometimes cute.
Not at all.
What's your plan with the money you earned?
Buy you a drink like this...
No, it's on me.
I paid off our family debts.
Do your parents run a business?
No.
Debts incur when expenses exceeds income.
Well, it's been only a couple of years since I've become worry-free from money.
You are almost a millionaire.
Real millionaires will laugh at me.
One of my friends is the son of Chongmyong Porcelain. He's Really rich.
I think too much money is troublesome.
Well, it's not.
When you don't have a car, you wish a used car.
But once you have a car, you want a bigger one.
And when you have several cars, you want a yacht, and a private plane.
There is no limit to people's greed. We need to have a control over it.
Jade.
Yes?
How do you think of me?
You're handsome.
That's not what I meant.
Faithful and...
Don't you see me as a man?
It's Taesung.
Hey, what's up?
Think about what you need. I'll return your favor with a gift.
To me, a good memory is more valuable than a gift.
We make good memories together.
We have too many for that short time.
Aren't you gonna come over and sleep?
Don't wait for me.
Why did you come home this early?
I need to talk to you.
Talk.
Will you continue sleeping here? How would others think of us?
I do not care.
You can't do this to me even if you hate me.
I don't hate you.
I just don't want to talk to you.
I didn't know you had such a little mind.
I am human. I have emotions.
Look, my wife says she loves me but she abandons me and my baby brother.
Only for making money!
If you were me, would you see your wife lovely?
Not preparing lunch doesn't mean I abandon you.
Forget it. I don't want to repeat the same story.
I am sorry.
I said I am sorry.
Are you saying that out of heart?
Do you want me to kneel before you?
I like consistent people, not those who dance and sing all weathers.
I thought you were nice and really loved me.
That's why I begged my sisters to support our marriage despite my situation.
I love you.
You love me but not my cross.
I do love you... Don't keep me away. It makes me sad. Forgive me.
You are right. I apologize and I mean it. Please?
Oh!
I'm sorry.
It's ok.
I bought ice cream.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Don't I look too old?
Nope. You look fabulous.
Jade!
You look awesome. Did you pick it up today?
Yes.
Well...
I don't think I can go to the restroom in this.
I didn't know you'd look great in hanbok.
Good afternoon, father.
Hi...
By the way, what's the occasion?
I picked up his tailored hanbok today, so he tried it on.
Oh...
You look totally different.
Wow...
Prince, doesn't your brother look nice?
Because I have a nice body.
You inherited it from me. Don't you think so?
That's right.
Look at those gold buttons... Look at that shiny texture.
So, this is of silk, right?
Yes.
Gold prices have risen high.
Aren't they heavy?
I'm afraid that someone can rob the buttons.
Don't worry. I'll make sure to get them back.
Oh...
Take it off. It can get dirty.
Ok.
He looks great. Truly, fine clothes make the man.
Doesn't he look like a new groom?
Yeah.
Is there some leftover food?
Yes.
How much did she say it cost?
I don't know.
1.5 ounces of gold values... One button weighs 1.5 ounces, right?
Probably.
The total value of the buttons could be...
Oh... I wish I had that hanbok.
Where's your mother?
In a hot tub.
Coral's hanbok is SUPERB!
Did Gangji pick it up?
Yes.
What are the buttons made of?
Gold.
Sure they should be.
The silky shiny texture is just... oh...and it's so soft.
It's softer than a baby's skin. It's indescribable.
Honey, I want to wear his hanbok and take a picture with you.
Come on. You can't wear your son's wedding gift, ok?
Just once.
Oh, stop talking nonsense. If it's your wish to wear a hanbok, I'll get you one.
There are plenty of men's hanbok in Dongdeamoon mall.
Nah... I don't want that kind of hanbok. They look gaudy and so cheap.
Their colors and texture can't match to those of Coral's. And they put plastic buttons.
Come on. You are asking for a pie in the sky!
It's within our reach. Just once in secret. Please?
In secret? How?
We can slip it out of their room when Gangji is not home.
Then we hurry to a studio, put it on and take a picture!
And?
I'll show it to my friends.
People say that pictures last forever.
What if she finds out?
We can have her visit her parents for a while.
I mean a picture.
They can't, since we'll keep it in safe.
Just forget about it. Go home and sleep.
Heja...
Don't bother me.
It's my wish. A wish of your one and only husband. Please?
Every wife has one and only husband, ok?
No. Some women in abroad have four to five husbands.
My... I don't envy her.
It'll be enough for me to have just one good husband other than you.
Look, I am a good husband now.
I don't even look at women other than you.
A man should try what he really wishes.
Who knows what will happen to me in one year, or a month, or even tomorrow?
Don't worry, you'll live forever.
When we live on easy street, then I'll get you a silk hanbok.
I don't want it when I get too old.
I'll look better when I'm younger.
Sometimes you're like a child.
Yes, I'm like a child. I know it.
You know I am greedy for clothes.
Come on. Are you greedy for clothes only?
Your greed for food is second to none.
Just send Gangji home this week. Ok? Pretending we care for her.
Please? Huh?
Call the kids to the table.
Yes, ma'am.
Time for breakfast.
Ok.
Wow...
Did you make all these?
I got up at four to prepare the last breakfast for my daughter.
Thank you!
Enjoy.
Yes.
You could suffer from fatigue.
I'm ok.
How many packing boxes?
I didn't start packing.
My favorite beef and veggie soup!
Your taste tells me that you could be a boozer.
What's wrong with this?
Why?
Too hot and salty...
Is it salty?
I think it a bit salty...
Not "a bit salty". It's like salt soup.
You can add water. Or try other dishes.
Mom, what's wrong with you these days? This is not the first time.
She should know it.
Mom, don't you taste while cooking?
Food can come out salty or bland.
Urg, too sour.
Too much vinegar here.
Did you pour a whole bottle?
Leave the kitchen to the maid. Don't make food.
Ok.
You don't have to eat my food from now on.
Why are you crying over my comment?
I am getting old and can't even cook...
Why do you have to be so mean?
Shouldn't I say the truth?
She woke up early in the morning to feed you before you leave.
Couldn't you say it's delicious?
I can't lie.
It's not "a bit" salty.
Her food in these days tastes weird. And it's worst today.
You can still appreciate her...
She wouldn't be able to know and correct if I didn't tell her.
Stop crying. It's nothing.
Now I am unable to feed my family with nice food.
But it's delicious to me.
Don't say that. It makes me feel more miserable.
Taste of food is not important.
I am useless.
I want to be helpful and do something, but there's nothing I can do well...
I am happy so long as you are with me. Aren't you happy just being with me?
Are you happy only when I earn money?
No.
Exactly!
I love you regardless of what your wear or what you do.
I'll be happy even if you give me a stone saying it's bread.
So long as I can see your face and hear your voice, I'm satisfied.
Do you mean it?
Look into my eyes. Don't they say the truth?
You know Goodsoon is picky all the time.
Let's say goodbye with smiles, ok?
Ok.
Good...
We're coming.
Just a trim?
Yes.
Hey!
How are you?
Hi.
So how's it going?
You and the young man.
That tall and good-looking...
Oh....
I laid him off.
Huh? Why?
Because he wasn't good.
Oh my...
You kicked away good fortune.
Good morning!
You'll regret it. You will never meet such a good catch again.
Thank you for coming.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
The bride's parents look kind.
Sly foxy leech...
Stay until the reception.
Sure.
You look gorgeous in that dress!
Hi!
Isn't she like a princess?
From now on, we will have a wedding ceremony of Sung-lan and Byonghoon.
Let's welcome the groom first.
Here comes the groom!
Isn't he the best-looking guy?
Now, we will have the bride, who will be out of reach of other bachelors.
Please welcome the bride with big hands.
I see tears welling up in the eyes of the bride's father.
Now, the bride and the groom will bow each other.
This is an expression of mutual love and respect.
Bride and groom, please bow to each other.
Hey, Sung-lan!
Did you betray me to marry that jerk?
Hey!
Father, you can't do this to me!
She lived with me for one year.
We were like married!
What are you talking about?
Do you want to marry the slut? Huh?
We are over, in a cool way!
In a cool way?
When? I've never agreed!
Please, let's talk with me. Come here!
Let go of me!
Hey!
You can't do this to me.
I still love you!
You wretch!
Are you crazy?
Yes! I am crazy!
You made me go crazy!
You are mine! Mine!
Bravo!
Why so many?
I'm brining all my stuff since I'll live there for more than a year.
Let's go, Eggplant.
Bye.
Ok.
I'll go with you.
Thanks to you, it's done very quickly.
Your underwear is in the top drawer.
Ok.
Eggplant!
When will Sunmi come?
Soon.
Are you gonna call her by her name?
Call her sis.
We'll see.
I don't want to call anybody "sis".
Would you be happy if a girl far younger than you call you by your name?
I am asking you. Please get along well with her. Be nice.
Ok.
Please take extra care of her, especially with her food.
Yes, ma'am.
Go back in.
I'll see you leaving.
All this for study...
I know.
I'll stop by once in a while, so don't bother to come home.
Ok.
I trust my daughter.
Don't worry.
I'm sorry for the breakfast thing.
You know I'm extremely sensitive. Please understand me.
You know I love you, don't you?
I do.
I'm afraid I might not recognize you next time...
Are you crying?
I don't know. Tears just come out.
Younggook, make her laugh every day. She got sentimental after you left.
Ok. Don't make any troubles now.
If you make any trouble, I'll teach you a lesson.
Don't worry. I'm not a child.
Mom, it's cold. Get in the car.
Bye.
Drive safely.
Take care.
Yep.
What so funny to come home with that big smile?
It was a live show.
A live show?
The bride's ex-boyfriend showed up.
Oh my...
Actually, he's more than a boyfriend. They lived together!
You should have seen Dr. Yoo and his mother.
Boy, they dumped me only to meet such a woman.
So, they called off the wedding?
Of course. What a mess and fuss!
You should have seen his face.
Please come in.
Is Goodsoon in?
Goodsoon? Oh...
Goodsoon!
Hi! I'm Sunmi. You heard about me, right?
Yes.
She looks like an easy mark.
Didn't you leave for a honeymoon?
Excuse me!
Yes, ma'am!
Did you take Tylenol?
Me?
Go get some Tylenol!
And get a digestive for me.
Where's Prince?
Sleeping.
Don't feed him just anything.
I am a nurse.
How do you think Jade is doing?
Well, I think she's gotten rid of him.
So there's no call from him ever since, right?
He wouldn't have fled by night if he were to call her later.
Oh, thank God.
I think money really works. You look really great.
The business runs so well, and I'm full of energy!
Do a good work this time.
Sure.
What is father doing?
Taking a rest. You can call him.
Ok.
Isn't Coral home?
He takes a nap. He said he could concentrate better after a short sleep.
Oh...
You look happy today.
Yes. For good reasons.
What is it?
I went to a wedding.
Hey, what so good for attending other's wedding?
I don't know.
Did you find some good man among groom's friends?
No.
Gangji, you didn't visit your parents often, right?
I stopped by them last Monday.
How are they?
They are good.
Go see your parents with Coral tomorrow. You can spend a whole day, having fun.
But he is so busy with study.
Come on. Doesn't he take a break?
Are you backtalking about me?
Dear son, come here and sit down.
Go see your parents-in-law tomorrow.
I didn't say anything.
Playing your role as their son-in-law is more important than studying.
You're still a student and unable to give them an expensive present, but
you can still go please them once in every other month.
Ok.
Gangji, have fun. And Coral, eat your fill when your mother-in-law cooks a brood hen.
Don't eat wings though.
I'll eat them.
Hey!
Just kidding.
Hi, are you on the way home?
Yes. Are you from grocery shopping?
Yes.
Give me that.
It's ok.
Give me that.
Did the funeral go well?
Yes.
Why did you buy rice wine?
To drink. I'm afraid I can't sleep in the empty room.
My mentor's death makes me feel even emptier.
Did you make up your mind?
About what?
Joining the priesthood.
Can we talk somewhere?
My restaurant is nearer than a coffee shop.
Let me drink just one bowl.
Can I have some?
Ok.
It's hard to make a decision.
Between joining the priesthood and taking care of Ms. Boss?
Yes.
She is single and struggling against illness. Not easy to find a right person for her.
As I see, she doesn't trust people.
Then why don't you take care of her a little longer?
Serving Buddha may be important but,
serving your neighbors, who are alive and need your help, is as much important.
You can join the priesthood anytime you want.
You are right.
I know I would be sorry if I leave the world behind in this state.
I am sorry that I told Ruby about you and Jedoug.
Don't be. You did a right thing.
Things have gotten clear thanks to you.
I think Jedoug was...how can I put it...
I didn't sense any peculiar past from him.
Me neither.
I guess he just didn't like me enough.
My tender-hearted mother. Do you already miss Goodsoon?
What is your father doing?
He's on the phone.
Mom, will you play hwatu with me?
Do you know the rules?
I think the maid knows.
But it might not interest you.
It could be interesting, since some people are addicted.
Oppa!
I missed you.
Are you going out again?
No.
How's Ms. Boss doing?
Doing ok. She worried about you.
Did you drink rice wine?
Yes. With your sister.
Come here.
Why?
Did she want to have a drink?
No, I did, because I thought I couldn't sleep. We met on the way so we had it together.
What did she say? Did she talk about Jedoug?
I think she's zapped him out of her mind.
By the way, what are you gonna do?
I just had my dinner.
How do you feel?
Just so so.
Call me anytime when you're scared.
And?
I'll run to you. Or I can comfort you a whole night over the phone.
Really?
You know me. I don't speak empty words.
What time can I see you tomorrow?
My friend will come home tomorrow.
Ok. The one who's supposed to come last week?
She has a complex with her name.
Don't laugh at her or ask who named her.
What's her name?
Goodsoon.
How come her parents named her like that?
She said it's her great-grandma's name.
What a name though. Is she ugly as her name?
You will find out.
Don't follow Coral's footstep.
I think your mother is very thoughtful.
Why you don't say anything?
Like what?
You can agree with me, or be thankful for that.
My mom is pretty simple-minded.
I'm happy anyways.
You could ruin your health.
What's the big deal?
I was humiliated!
Me too! I was so ashamed.
What a waste of money for disgrace.
That sly whore! How dare she attempt to marry you?
What should I do now?
I can't face people at work!
Gossips last two or three days.
They will forget in a month.
It's because of you... You spoiled my life.
You can't say like that.
I tried my best to get you a wife with good backgrounds...
What a background...
Better background can kill me next time.
How about a millionaire widow?
Don't be sarcastic.
My head is reeling and my heart is pumping.
You pulled me away from the woman I loved by force...
only to bring shame on me and make me a "used" bachelor.
You are not a "used" bachelor.
You didn't live with any woman.
But I'm not a brand new one either once I marched on the wedding!
Let's talk tomorrow.
I was stupid to listen to you.
Who's here?
It's me, mother.
Coral and Gangji just left home. Go get the hanbok.
Why me?
'Cause you're the one to wear it, right?
I can't sly into my daughter-in-law's room.
Then is it ok to steal out your son's hanbok?
It's not "steal". I'm only borrowing it.
Then go say that and borrow it.
Honey...
Be nice and grant my wish. Please?
You have such soft hands.
What is Mr. Goong gonna do after he retires next year?
I didn't ask.
Will he get a security guard job?
What?
As far as I know, he wouldn't do such a work.
Good morning.
Hi.
Where's Ruby?
She went to Ms. Boss.
What's that?
Huh? What?
This?
Steamed buns!
Prince!
I was hungry in fact.
You had a full breakfast.
But the dishes were poor.
No?
If I don't have meat, I get hungry fast.
Boys in your age have a good appetite.
When I was in your age, I used to cram food into my lunch box.
There was endless hunger no matter how much I ate.
Get some water.
Ok.
Wait!
What for?
'Cause it's choking.
Who? You?
No, you.
I'm ok. I'm fine.
Steamed buns taste best without water, just like this.
Do the two grandmas get along well?
They are too busy to get into fight.
Come out.
Who is it?
Huh? Your mom. She wants me to come over.
You could suffer from indigestion. Have some water.
Take some with you.
It's ok.
For grandma.
I'll get some on the way.
Prince, see you later.
It's open.
Honey, hurry and put it on.
Ok, ok.
By the way, isn't your mother home?
She went to her friend's birthday party.
Let's take only two pictures. One with jacket on, and the other without.
I will be back.
Where are you going?
I was invited to my friend's house.
Hold on one sec.
Why?
I can't let you go alone.
I am not a child.
Your dad made it clear to me to follow and protect you everywhere.
Goodsoon!
Didn't I tell you to hold on?
So what?
Are you gonna hit me?
Don't touch me.
I'm talking to you on behalf of your father.
Resisting me will only tire you off.
I'll be right back with my wallet.
Let's see how long you can bear.
Please have a seat over there.
Ok.
Best shots please.
Take a good picture of us.
Don't worry. You're the best models I've ever had.
Ok, here we go.
You want another shot in stand-up position, right?
Yes.
Come on.
I'll do it for you.
Mister, see the gold buttons.
1.5 ounces of gold for each!
Please take a nice shot...
The gold button!
Ok...
Don't push out the belly.
Are you going to follow me to his house?
Yes.
Gosh...
Your mother is home, right?
My sister is.
I wish I can go back to past and live in hanbok every day.
Do you want me to get a reformed one? Just like Kyle's?
A reformed hanbok is not a hanbok.
I didn't know the touch of silk was this good.
The touch I feel in my legs are...oh...
It's indescribable.
Sometimes, you are more talkative than any other women.
In these days, fluent speech is gold.
My goodness. What should we do?
You...
Oh...
You...
She seems too feeble to be called a bodyguard.
She has a temper though.
Is she gonna follow even inside my house?
Not a very nice community, huh?
You might find my house inconvenient.
If you feel uncomfortable, you can just say "hi" then leave.
You are being too humble, unlike the Amber I know.
Right.
What?
I totally forgot to buy some flowers because of her.
You're not visiting my house as my fiancee. Don't be serious.
I am not. But I can't visit other's house with empty hands, ok?
Am I "other"?
It's not my house. My mom said it's rude to visit someone's house with empty hands.
I didn't know you're an obedient daughter.
My parents are not home. We are almost there.
Let me buy some fruits, though.
How far will you follow me?
Introduce me to his sister. I'll pay my respect and step out.
And?
I can wait for you around here.
Will you stay long?
I don't know.
Jade.
This is Goodsoon, my classmate.
How do you do?
Hi. I heard a lot about you.
All the positive words.
She's my surveillant.
I'll see you later.
Bye.
Text me when you leave.
Ok.
This is from her.
You didn't have to bring this. You are not even an adult guest.
I'm not a child guest, either.
That's a back talk.
I'll make you spicy rice cake for you guys. Go on in.
My sisters sleep here.
Is this your room?
Yes. We don't have couches. Why don't you sit in my chair?
Far below your imagination, huh?
Incredible.
What?
Never mind.
It's not like you to hold back.
You are incredible to stay in top despite the environment.
I have my own room. I can't neglect studying with this luxury.
Are you being sarcastic about me?
My situation is not bad though.
There are people whose whole family lives in a one room.
Studying is not the matter of environment. It's all about will and brain.
What? Why do you look at me like that?
I like to give you a hug.
I like to bite your lips then.
