Cutie Pie
Episode 43
Yu Na, here's some fruit. She's not here.
I wonder if she's washing up.
Even from when she was little, she looked just like her mom.
My daughter is so pretty.
I started to notice that boy.
His big, round eyes... his shirt buttoned all the way to the top,
I like him more and more.
Why is love this difficult?
This love that is impossible... I resent it all.
There must be a boy she likes.
What are you doing? Why are you reading my diary?
I didn't read it on purpose, I just happened on it...
Forget it. Your manners are totally poopy!
Sorry. Sorry. Daddy apologizes.
Who said you were my daddy? You are not my dad.
So, is there someone you like?
What?
Who is that?
Who is the boy that doesn't know how you feel?
I don't know. Just leave.
Who is it? Daddy will give him a good scolding.
Just leave. Leave!
What are you so happy about?
Come here for a minute.
Do you know something? Yu Na has a crush on a boy.
Oh, I thought it was something new.
You knew?
Of course. I think it's been a while now.
Who is it?
I don't know who it is.
That's what you have to find out.
Aren't you curious as to know who your daughter likes?
You're going to take this chance to act the big daddy to her?
Of course.
It'll be great if it draws us closer together.
You're so great. I sure married well.
Should we turn out the lights?
What?
Dad found out?
Yeah. Your dad read my diary.
Then he knows who the boy is that you like?
No. I don't think he knows that yet.
You dummy. You should have hidden your diary better.
Only first graders get their diaries found by their parents.
Is that all you can say to me?
Can you ask me how alarmed I was? Or tell me not to worry?
Can you say things like that to me?
Please be more careful.
I want Mom and Dad to be happy for a long, long time.
Fine! You're really great, Kim Joon!
As you wish, I'll try to make sure our relationship isn't found out about.
Satisfied? You scaredy-cat!
[Food]
Oh! Food is ready!
Ha Ryong is going to eat.
I'm eating alone? Where is everybody?
Everyone ate already.
Ha Ryong doesn't want to eat alone.
Stop with your Ha Ryong, Ha Ryong!
Stop trying to act cute!
Stop calling your own name. I'm grossed out by it.
Is this everything?
Of course it's everything. What more do you want?
Coming back after 15 years... you're really thick-skinned.
I smell some kind of meat that was cooked.
Just eat and get out of here before I cook up your hind leg.
Grandmother, where are the digestive pills? That Baek Sook* I ate... (*Ginseng Chicken)
Really? I'll get them for you. Let's go get them.
Baek... Baek Sook?
That smell I picked up... I'm sure was a young hen.
Hm?
Isn't this a chicken bone?
Ok Sook! Ok Sook!
Why do you keep calling my name?
What is this? Isn't it a chicken bone?
How is that a chicken bone?
Tell the truth. You had Baek Sook for lunch, didn't you?
Baek Sook my foot. Are you hallucinating?
Yu Na, you tell me. Did you have it or not?
I... did have it.
Look at this! You excluded me and had Baek Sook!
You know how I love Baek Sook!
- What's wrong? Dad, what's wrong? - What's wrong, Grandfather?
Did you kids eat Baek Sook for lunch?
Yes, we did.
See that?
Ahjumma, I'm here.
Thank you for the Baek Sook.
Look at that... leaving just me out!
You even gave it to Young Kwang, who isn't even family.
I know you dislike me, but Ok Sook, you're carrying it too far!
Madam Song, you really didn't give Dad any Baek Sook?
What's all this fuss over one lousy chicken?
He acts like he's possessed by the Baek Sook.
Am I acting like this because I want to eat Baek Sook?
It's because it makes me so sad. It makes me sad.
I just want to eat together with all of you, so I just sit there and wait for mealtimes.
But you have me eat separately. And don't give me any Baek Sook.
Dad...
You're really being too much! Too much, Ok Sook!
I can't believe he's crying over nothing. Oh, how bothersome is he!
Ok Sook! Baek Sook!
Madam Song, are you really going to be like this?
Like what? What? Why do you keep on me like this?
I know you dislike Dad, but how can you discriminate against someone with food?
Discrim...? Why are you bringing up discrimination?
He's lucky he gets any food.
So he didn't get to eat Baek Sook. What did I do that was so wrong?
If you dislike him that much, why don't you just make him eat upstairs?
Why even have him come down? Is that because I wanted to?
You kids are the ones that asked for that. You all!
Truthfully, I'm hurt by you kids.
You don't even think about my feelings and take his side all the time.
That's because we feel sorry for Dad.
What about me?
You don't feel sorry for your mother who was abandoned for 15 years?
I killed myself raising you kids alone.
And now, I even have to worry about feeding that man?
Madam Song, calm down first and...
I don't want to hear it!
Daughters or not, I don't need you.
So if you're that worried, you kids can cook.
You cook and feed that man.
I can't do it. Starting today, I'm not cooking.
Oh, Mom...
I don't want to hear it. Get out of here.
I don't want to look at you, so get out of here.
Oh, really...
The boy Yu Na likes?
Yeah.
I want to give her some love advice, but it'd be better if I knew who he was.
Why don't you just let her be? I'm sure Yu Na can handle it fine.
You don't know either? Who could it be?
According to her diary, it's someone with big, round eyes.
Really?
And he's very tidy and buttons his buttons all the way to the top.
You really don't know who it could be? No one you can guess at?
No, I don't know anything.
So, Mom said she won't cook anymore?
The mood she's in is no joke. She said she didn't even want to look at any of us.
What is this? Why are the arrows being shot our way?
Oh! What are we going to do about eating?
Is that what's important right now?
In all honesty, I understand what Mom is feeling.
Who would want to cook and feed a man who came back after 15 years?
But still, how can she go on a strike like this? Who's going to cook?
Why don't you do it? You cooked the most out of us.
I only helped out. I don't think I can cook entire meals.
What should we do, Unni?
We have no choice. We'll have to hire a housekeeper to help us.
Housekeeper?
Actually, my getting married caused a lot more work for Mom.
I had been feeling bad about it.
We'll use this chance to hire a housekeeper and let Mom take it easy.
Oh, that will solve the problem.
Educated women's way of thinking is surely at a different scale.
Then you'll pay for the housekeeper?
Do you think I'd ask you guys to pay? Let's hurry up and find a housekeeper.
Okay.
I don't want to. Why do you keep insisting when I say I don't want to eat?
You have to eat even a little bit.
Oh, this is our mother.
Mom, she's here as an hourly housekeeper starting today.
Housekeeper?
Hello Madam. Please look favorably on me.
Mom, you've worked hard for so long.
Forget about housework now and take it easy from now on.
Thank you for your show of concern for me. I don't mind not having to do any housework.
Wow, this food just melts in your mouth. It suits my taste perfectly.
What region of cooking is this that's so delicious?
I'm from Pusan, but it's been a long time since I left there.
Oh, Pusan! No wonder the seasoning is perfectly to my taste.
I lived in Pusan for a long time.
Pusan seagull... Pusan seagull,
have you really forgotten all about me?
Oh, you know the song. You're a pretty good singer.
Of course. My second home is the karaoke room.
Really?
You have a cheerful personality and your cooking is delicious.
Would you please make some clam soup tomorrow
made the same way as in your hometown?
I'll do that. I must say, I make killer clam soup.
Wow, great music. Good food. Isn't this food great?
What's so great about it? It's too salty.
Ahjumma, salty food isn't good for the health, so go easy on the salt.
Yes, Madam.
Mother, it's not that salty. This is...
salty. It's salty. This is salty. Ajummeoni, please go easy with the salt.
Is our Yu Na reading comic books?
It's not a comic book.
Daddy has a gift for you.
Ta-da!
What do you think? Isn't it pretty?
Well, it's not too bad.
Wow, this was made for Yu Na.
When that boy you like sees you in it, he'll be blown away.
What's this about?
Why? You don't like it? Should I return it?
Who said you should return it?
Because of the effort you put in it, I'll wear it.
She's antagonistic just like her grandmother.
You didn't have to carry it for me. You even went to the market with me.
I don't have much to do other than taking care of a vending machine.
You're from Pusan, but you don't have any accent.
I do have an accent.
But when I'm out with my friends,
they make such fun of my accent that I work hard at keeping it from coming out.
This is it! That's what I'm talking about.
It's been a long time since I've heard it and it's great.
Ahjumma, you seem like a person who can dance well also.
If you can't dance while you sing, it's like a cream puff without the cream.
Yes, you're right.
And with dancing, the diamond step is the basic move.
Pusan seagull... Pusan seagull,
have you really forgotten all about me?
You're good. Very good.
You're pretty good with the steps.
Look here, Mr. Im. It's not time to eat, so why are you down here?
Get back upstairs.
Ahjumma is new here, so I wanted to help her learn her way around here.
I'll go right up. I will.
Aigoo. Aigoo.
Do it again. Again. It's okay.
In my time, the disco was the craze.
The two peas in a pod... sure having a great time out there.
He's always all over anyone who's a female.
Oh, I can't stand that man.
Ahjumma, you sing well, you dance well...
- ... and you cook really well. - Just listen to him.
I don't know why we had to hire that housekeeper.
Wait a minute here. Her food is to his taste, her playing around is to his taste...
This is just a good thing for him.
You have on the dress I bought for you.
I didn't have anything else to wear.
- I'm going to school. - Just another minute.
Today must be an important day for you.
Pardon?
The way you primped... is that boy you like from the academy?
You're wrong. Would you just mind your own business?
She doesn't have to be so embarrassed.
Let's see... should I go and see who the boy is?
Who could he be?
It would be good to have a man-to-man talk with him.
Dad, what are you doing?
Oh, Joon!
What are you doing here?
Oh... actually, I found out who it is that Yu Na liked.
What?
I think it's someone who comes to this academy,
so I'm here to see what he looks like.
I see.
You stand here and help me pick out which one it might be.
Oh, it's Yu Na.
Who is that boy?
- I think you dropped this. - Oh, thank you.
Don't you think he's the one? That's definitely him, isn't it?
I can't be sure...
Dad!
Little boy!
I'm Yu Na's dad.
Can we talk?
That's right. Yes, that's good. Be careful and get down now.
Wait.
Maybe it's too early to take them down.
I think we should wait a little longer before doing so.
Ahjumma, just put them back up.
Pardon?
But we've already taken them down and put them back up twice already, Madam.
So, are you saying you don't want to? If you really don't want to, you can quit.
Not at all. I'll put them back up.
Oh, uh... um, Ahjumma.
Yes?
The children's father...
Mr. Im... what do you think of him? Isn't he good to you?
Yes, he's like my own brother. He's really a good person.
And he's a lot of fun.
I'm sure.
Aigoo, but...
I don't know if I should tell you this or not...
What...?
You've picked up on our relationship, haven't you?
That's all that man's fault.
I'm worried about you, and that's why I'm telling you this.
Oh, my!
Are you going somewhere?
I was supposed to teach you the Suzy Q dance today.
Ahjusshi, don't live your life like that. You'll be punished by the heavens!
Ahjumma!
Dad, I don't think this is the right thing to do.
You just stay quiet.
Yu Na! Come on out here. Your friend is here to see you.
What friend...
Oppa, how did you come...?
I told him to come. I wanted to invite him over.
What?
Ahjusshi asked me to come, so I did.
But if it offends you, I'm sorry, Han Yu Na.
I had nothing to do with it.
Kim Joon, let me see you for a minute.
What's going on? Why is he here?
Dad think he's the boy you like.
What? Why didn't you tell him it wasn't?
Go out there and send him home.
What are you doing? Hurry up.
Dad invited him here, so how can I send him home?
Get back out there.
What? You want me to go back out there?
You want me to go out there and act like I like him?
Is that what you want?
I asked if that was what you wanted.
Kim Joon, you'll regret this.
Ok Sook! Ok Sook, where are you?
Ok Sook is right here. What are you going to do about it?
Whoever needs to leave, must leave.
Whatever needs to be forgotten, must be forgotten.
Ok Sook.
Just what did you say to the ahjumma?
Hm? What are you talking about?
What did you say to her to make her look at me like I'm a worm?
What do you mean what did I say? I didn't say anything.
She said something about the work being too hard or something...
I'm sure you said something to her.
She and I got along great, so you got jealous and sent her away.
What?
What kind of an "elephant scratching his hind leg" thing to say.
I'm jealous? I don't care who you get along with or not.
It's annoying to even have to sit here and look at your face, so get out.
Get out of here! Get out.
I'm sure you said something to her. I really liked her cooking and enjoyed her company...
Oh, brother...
Whoever needs to leave, must leave.
Whatever needs to be forgotten, must be forgotten.
Goodness! He's an Ahjumma Killer?
Yes, that's right. He's been like that for a long time.
At first, he treats you like he'll give you his everything,
and then when he gets close to the woman, he cons money out of them.
M... m... money?
He did that to the housekeeper that was here,
and she was so traumatized by it that she's now in a hospital... a mental hospital.
Omo! Oh, that's terrible!
Whoever needs to leave, must leave.
Whatever needs to be forgotten, must be forgotten.
Were you surprised by me coming here, out of the blue?
No. It's okay.
You can have this.
Isn't this what you dropped earlier?
It was yours to begin with.
Oppa.
I've been watching you for a long time. Let's go steady, Han Yu Na.
The food today is lacking flavor. Did you under season it?
If you don't want to eat it, don't.
I reduced the salt for the sake of the family's health, so why are you complaining?
It doesn't taste too bad. Just eat it.
Do you think I'm nuts to season the flavor to your taste?
You've had enough of this, let Ji Won have some now. Here you go.
This is the dish that Ba Ni loves. Here you go, Ba Ni.
That's so petty.
I can't eat without kimchi.
Then what should I eat?
Just eat your rice. Put your head into the rice and just eat that.
Aren't you here to eat rice?
You thought I'd sit by and watch you having a good time?
Not in a million years.
Live the rest of your life taking my treatment. That's my revenge.
What are you looking at? Hurry and finish eating.
If she hates it that much, tell her she can quit right away.
Take your stuff.
Shell! Are you distracted?
It feels really strange for him to not call me Shell.
When you moved in, what did you bring with you other than your body?
Why do you have so much to say when you're mooching off of us?
Why are you kids acting like this?
He keeps provoking me!
He needs a good beating.
