[Episode 3]
Hello?
Hello.
Yes?
This is Gallery Jo. Is this Yuk Sonjung's number?
It is.
Put him on.
One moment.
For you.
Gallery Jo.
Hello.
Our gallery is in the Chongdam area.
I know.
You did a group exhibition at the Mihyong, I believe?
Yes.
You show a lot of promise.
May I visit your studio?
I want to see your work.
Today?
Or tomorrow.
And you are?
Soh Eunha.
I'm working tomorrow.
Today then?
Sure.
Around three?
Sure.
Where is it?
In the Yoksam area.
The address?
Got it.
See you then.
Thanks.
She's coming?
Hm.
A director?
So it seems. To see my work.
You need to change.
Why? Is she looking at my work or me?
Change. She's a bigwig.
You should look the part.
Darling.
Try to be understanding.
Me?
You know her situation.
The more she picks, the more it hurts.
I know that.
She relies on me.
Our mom died before she was two. And our dad.
Be kind. She'll be married in 5 years or so.
Just turn a deaf ear.
She's obstinate. Just ignore her.
I don't do anything. She picks on me.
Just five years.
Five can become ten.
It's hard on me, too.
Think about her.
I'm all she has, she's afraid.
I'm sorry. We have our whole lives together.
I know.
All this isn't good for the baby.
Think of it as acting.
With her as the villain.
Talk to Hwaom.
He listens to you.
And to you.
Not hardly.
Have you found someone?
A possibility anyway.
Hwaom is almost perfect. What do they say, A+?
I'd say A because he's so cold.
He'll be different once he finds his mate.
What kind of girl do you want her to be?
What does it matter? I'm not his mother-in-law.
I just hope she's pleasant.
Like Sondong?
Yes.
She must be adorable.
She was so sweet and talkative as a child.
True.
My brother must have talked some sense into her. She's become so nice.
He loves you more than his wife.
That's not easy to do.
Of course it is.
A sister is blood. A wife is just a wife.
Ihwa said it best.
You get married, your man is everything.
More than your own mom.
Shows what Ihwa knows.
You watch TV?
After 3 years all bets are off.
Men max out at 2, 3 years.
What do we do with that?
Love less.
So he steps out?
The 'all-in' girls suffer the most.
But what about love?
Marrying for love, that's happiness.
If you love each other.
All they care about is the hunt, then it's over.
Understand?
On the other hand...
You have to keep playing him.
Too much like work.
Work? It's the thrill.
You up for it?
Sure, I'm gonna have my husband on the palm of my hand.
If only feelings were so easy to control.
People do what they want.
It's how we are.
Look at Kim Hyogyong, 'All-in,' pssh.
So has your brother grown cold?
It hasn't been 3 years yet.
But she's all meek and mysterious.
Mysterious?
Yeah, men love that.
Oh, I saw that guy from the club the other night.
The one that hit you?
No, the other one.
He just walked right over.
And?
I told him to beat it.
I was with family.
Your show is getting better.
Yep.
What is my brother up to?
Um...
Pay attention to work.
I am.
Why didn't you stop him seeing Kim Hyanggi? You should have.
It wasn't serious.
Serious... or not.
I'm here.
It's all 'happy' news with CM2.
Has your father mentioned the ratings?
Of course.
Since its position is assured, maybe we can start on a new project.
You can give this show to Kong.
You have something in mind?
You would know.
That from home?
I'm picky about my coffee.
Not just coffee.
You're picky period.
Listen, while we're alone.
You seeing anyone?
Nope.
A friend of mine has a daughter.
A Harvard grad.
Not for me.
Why not?
She's gorgeous.
They all are these days.
But she was born that way.
No work done.
How would you know?
I've known them for years. Old college buddies.
Ah.
She kind of looks like Kim Yuna, unlike people who get surgery.
Yeah, the natural looking monolids that are pleasing to the eye.
I'm not ready to get married.
When? When you're done playing?
That's not me.
Then get married.
You don't care about dating anyway.
Marriage is great.
Nice house, couple of kids.
Men lose their looks, too. When they're gone, they're gone.
Now is the time.
When you're in full bloom.
Date, get married.
It's a pain.
Women?
'The more the better' applies to two things.
Women and money.
Don't let anyone hear you say that.
Or they'll post it on the 'Net?
I hate blind dates.
Would you rather be a monk?
You owe it to your parents.
And she's a great kid.
What about my folks?
What about them?
You're nice, with a good family and good position.
Because your family is filthy rich?
Pssh. Small business, maybe.
Listen to you poor mouth.
Take it.
You won't be sorry.
Meeting tomorrow.
Right.
Hello.
Hey. You're the artist?
'Artist?'
Can you call my sister-in-law out for me?
Yaya?
Yes.
Come in.
No. I just brought a little something.
For all of you.
Wow.
Please.
No.
Have something to drink at least.
I have shopping to do.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Bye.
And thanks.
Sure.
Yaya, your sister-in-law.
She brought this. Go catch a cab for her.
I'm good.
Good? She's pregnant.
Go on.
What's that?
Snacks.
Rice rolls.
Wash your hands.
You, too.
You were out.
A little bacteria is good for you.
So good.
Can you make this?
Nah.
What can you do?
Nothing?
Paint.
So you say.
What can you do?
I'm a dude.
Dude, chick, who cares?
Ask around, girls hate that.
The dude says, the chick does.
Whatever.
No wonder no one wants you.
Piggy.
Don't hit her.
Why would I?
I owe you a round.
Her Highness.
And no bread.
Relax.
Queenie, no barking now.
My mom's allergic.
Such pretty eyes.
You okay?
Your hand. Where do you live?
There.
You going to school?
A friend's.
Let's get you home.
I'm okay.
Your parents home?
Mom is.
Is it far?
You have a phone?
Yeah.
Let's see.
Come in.
Hello.
Please.
I didn't bring anything.
No need.
Coffee? Tea?
Coffee.
My sister.
A difference in years.
Yes, ten, actually.
I envy girls with brothers.
You only have sisters?
An only child.
I see.
How many galleries have you held?
A museum show and four gallery exhibits.
Once with Ms. Jo in 2009.
You knew her then?
No. We had dinner once.
I see.
She was my sister-in-law.
Jo Sonhwa?
Yes.
She died so young.
Too young.
It wasn't right.
You're a bachelor?
Yes.
Why? Don't say you're married to your art.
Is this your house?
Who is it?
Did you lose a doggy?
No.
Where do you live?
No tag. What's your name?
Queenie!
Queenie.
Hello. She's not in.
I'm here Mr. Jo.
He stepped out.
He'll be back.
Right, bye.
Hello.
Hey. Give me this.
Why?
Because I'm pretty.
Huh?
C'mon.
'Kay.
What?
Dog napper.
I didn't nap nothin'.
I caught you.
I'm looking for its owner.
You grabbed my hair.
You took my dog.
I thought it was lost.
You were taking it.
So ask.
What a 'tard.
A 'tard?
You think that's normal?
Watch your mouth.
What, I should bow and scrape?
Did I hit you? It's just hair.
MY hair. A girl's hair.
Playing the chick card.
Should I grab yours?
How old are you?
How old do you think?
Not very.
Then act your age.
Ma’am, didn't I ask if you lost this dog?
Hm.
He said I stole it.
She's been looking all over, asking if anyone lost it.
Sorry.
You are NOW.
Grandma.
There's my baby.
At least you found it.
Yes'm.
Black as night, that one.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I was wrong.
Take off your glasses.
Why?
Just do it.
We've met. Last night.
Talk about weird, getting hit on by some granny.
Never mind a nun and whatever.
I'm glad I grabbed your hair.
We're even.
Jerk.
Anyway, thanks.
You have a portfolio?
Yes.
Let's take a look.
Yes.
Sonji, the portfolio.
Uh-huh.
Your colors have improved over time.
Thanks.
Would you consider an exclusive contract?
Okay, we'll talk then.
Are you alone?
Yes.
Do you like this artist?
I prefer the old school myself.
Ah.
You're an art major?
No. Humanities and Sciences.
Which school?
In the States. Syracuse University.
I see.
I quit.
Why?
I'm not an intern. I'm a gopher.
That's what interns do.
And everyone hates me.
Who does?
The girls.
Why? Did you do something?
Cause I'm hot.
It's true. Women are like that.
So you're quitting?
It's not a good fit.
What do you want, one big happy family?
I'll go back to school.
You said it's too hard.
Whatever.
Talk to the folks for me.
Before you quit.
So?
So I had $50. I caught a movie and came back here.
I figured you had a fight with your sister-in-law.
So you and this guy, huh?
As if.
It's fate.
More like a curse.
Or maybe it's me.
You didn't get his number.
Knock it off.
He's bad news.
Just my type.
Way too smooth.
What did she bring us?
Rice rolls.
Seriously good. Sonjung loved 'em.
You missed out.
She should have made lunch.
Loafer.
Praise where it's due. Rice rolls take work.
Ms. Jo came by?
She wants an exclusive contract.
And?
He said he'd think about it.
It's not a bad idea.
True.
She's a total hottie.
The best looks money can buy.
Not her. It's all natural.
Graceful?
Elegant, yes. But no pushover.
What are you doing?
Soaking.
Bye.
You got my Good Wife CD?
So?
I said I'd think about it.
Do it.
There's good and bad things about it.
He's got talent. But with the contract, he shares the pay.
50/50?
For an unknown.
70/30 would be fine.
Less running around.
And good promotion.
True.
She see your work?
No.
But I'll benefit from his contract.
True.
What?
What do women like?
In men, I mean.
It depends.
You?
Tell me.
I like you.
Why do you ask?
Yong got Botox. Says his wife hates him looking old.
You're not old.
Don't you want me to look good?
Natural is best.
The body is what matters.
Body?
Look at the foreign stars.
Wrinkles or not, they got great bods.
Especially from the rear.
You look?
Ma’am.
Yes?
The missus wants you.
Uh-huh.
Too fat?
'Come pick me up.'
'I'm here.'
You have to work in the morning.
I'm used to it.
It's nice out.
Let's take a walk.
Where are the kids?
They're coming.
They say the hot springs in Japan are nice.
We're too busy, we can even get to Jeju.
That's a weekend trip. What do you say?
No tickets.
One of our patients is an airline bigwig.
Says he can get me tickets anytime.
What?
Back in the States,
they asked Mr. Kim's nephew how to say 'young man' in Korean.
He thought about it.
'My sweetie?'
He was reared by his Nana.
Every day, 'My sweetie,' that's all he heard.
He would.
So his sister says, 'No, I think...'
'My baby?'
It's a dog's world, but it has its moments.
I miss Mom and Dad.
Have you thought about finding someone?
Why? Marriage isn't for me.
Why?
Who would want me as a daughter-in-law?
I'll make it on my own.
I'll get shows like Sonjung.
Be a big deal.
Will that make you happy?
It will.
What about kids? So cute.
Nieces and nephews.
You should have two. Or three.
She will if you say so.
Tell her you want three.
Hm.
I'll get rich, take care of you.
That's my job.
You did enough. Leaving school and all.
Nah. I count myself lucky.
Luck will come your way.
You a fortune teller?
Hm.
And your future?
Rich and famous.
My teacher said so.
Change my name to Ya and I'll be rich. And famous.
Mom, Dad.
A little help. I'm counting on it.
