Cutie Pie
Episode 51
She fell asleep. I'm going to watch soccer.
I was watching it. What are you doing?
It looked like you were dozing off. Why don't you go in and go to sleep, Mother?
Who was dozing?
Put it back to what I was watching.
You were sleeping the whole time. How can you say you were watching it?
Why are you being so stubborn?
Stubborn? Ow.
Ow.
Whose fault is this that my neck is in this condition?
You're the one who asked me to give you a massage.
You're going to give me indigestion.
The loan payment is coming up. What am I going to do?
It must be the stress that's causing this discomfort.
Yes, Father.
Yes. That's a relief.
Yes,
don't worry about the money and fix it so it's sturdy.
Don't be sorry.
I'm only doing what I should as the eldest son.
What about Sung Gu?
He's not causing trouble lately, is he?
Director!
Dr. Lee, aren't you feeling well?
No. I just felt some discomfort in my stomach.
Where are you going?
What I ate for dinner doesn't seem to agree with me.
- I'll see you later. - Yes.
That's right!
An advance on my pay!
I can ask her for a pay advance.
Oh? You're still here?
Yes.
Um, ad... Ad...
It's cool like it's the fall.
Your name is the wind, the wind, the wind.
- Then.. - Yes.
How do I ask for the advance?
Organize your thoughts on the theory with the mindset of an international artist,
and with a reverence toward the art.
That will be considered your final for this term.
Open your books.
As far as the balance, that will depend on the parts of your subject.
Currently there are 3 popular ways artists use it.
That is for symmetry, for radiation, and for asymmetry.
Empty Shell.
- Yes? - If you want to do something else, leave.
I don't.
You laugh?
No.
Yes, Mother.
It's okay. My birthday was never important to me.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
I don't have to eat seaweed soup.
It must be early morning there. Don't worry over nothing and go back to sleep.
Yes.
Professor,
it's your birthday tomorrow?
Why?
Um... then how about a birthday party...?
A birthday party?
Why waste time on something like that?
As if you're not already an outcast.
How am I going to get that advance?
What excuse should I use to reduce the embarrassment?
Wow!
Your blood type defines your taste in people.
Dr. Lee,
why are you staring at the director?
Pardon?
Why?
Is there something on my face? Do I have something?
No.
Dr. Lee, who is the closest to your ideal woman in our clinic?
My ideal?
I'm the youngest person here.
You haven't forgotten our fiery past, have you?
You don't have to be embarrassed, Dr. Lee.
I should make the director feel good first then bring up the pay advance.
My ideal...
That would be the director.
- What? - Really - The director?
He's just being careful to avoid a scandal, isn't that right Dr. Lee?
You picked me because you're comfortable, because I'm married. Right?
No, that's not why.
Let's see, hasn't it been too long since we ate out?
Right?
Yoo Na and Joon, finish your homework while I'm gone.
I'll worry about my own homework.
Don't worry.
I've finished it already.
Where are you going without eating?
The clinic family are eating out today.
I'm going to be a driver for Ji Won.
Yes, you should at least do that instead of doing nothing here. You're half-unemployed.
You're being too much.
What?
Was I wrong in what I said?
Why are you excluding me if it's the clinic family?
I'm a part of the working crew at Tan Tan Clinic.
I operate a vending machine there.
Where is it? Ha Ryong is going with you.
Ha Ryong, Ha Ryong. Stop trying to act cute and sit down.
Trying to include yourself like that.
Have a good time. Tell them Ha Ryong said hello.
Lee Young Kwang, did you take my car?
You'd better get back here.
Where? Hye Ri!
Hey! You... Hello?
Lee Young Kwang! Hey!
He said he had something to do and asked me to finish up here.
He went to Hye Ri with Ba Ni.
By the way, Professor!
I heard tomorrow is your birthday. That's what Young Kwang said.
Don't concern yourself with it.
My goodness.
Did I say I was concerning myself with it? He just jumps to conclusions.
Oh my goodness.
This birthday will not be ruined by Young Kwang.
I just have to enjoy my birthday alone, as I had planned.
I will start by self birthday party by listening to Chopin.
Then I will have the best steak with a glass of wine.
Finally, I will conclude my birthday celebration with some art.
- Cheers! - Let's drink. - Cheers!
This is the time.
I'll ask if a pay advance is possible first.
I...
- would like to ask... - Oh?
What are you doing, Dr. Lee?
Omo, Dr. Lee! Are you going to sexually harass again?
No. What do you mean sexual harassment?
Huh?
I've never sexually harassed Dr. Lee.
What are you doing?
Dr. Lee, what are you doing to the director right now?
Director, that's not it. That's absolutely not it, Director!
I understand.
Nurse Ha, that's enough.
I'm sure that's not Dr. Lee's intentions.
Ji Won.
Oppa.
What's with the mood here?
What brings you here?
I came to escort my missus home after you finish dinner.
It wouldn't do to have some man trying to hit on you.
You're right.
There's someone who's coveting the director at this moment.
What does that mean?
What jerk is coveting my Ji Won? Who?
Nurse Ha.
Oppa, it's not true.
What are you saying?
I just wondered if Dr. Lee has a crush on you.
I heard he behaved inappropriately with you.
Oppa, that was said in jest.
Did that really upset you?
No, that's not it.
What do you think of me? Do you think I'm that petty?
That's ridiculous.
I know. Oppa, should I change my hairstyle? Like this, or like this?
Why do you need to worry about style for your work?
Tie it back. Just tie it back.
That'll be better for your work.
What? Are you really worried about Dr. Lee?
That's just ridiculous.
I'm going to wash up.
Tie your hair back.
Okay.
Should I just leave it down?
You drink it black, don't you?
Yes.
My ideal woman is...
the director.
I...
would like to ask...
What? Does he really like me?
I need to get the advance by today.
Director...
Yes? Why? What? Why...
I...
- What are the two of you doing? - What are you doing?
Nothing! Should we have some snacks?
I'll go get some.
Huh? What is this?
I need to change cleaners or something.
Look at that. This is completely my style.
Hey, hey, hey!
Why are you wearing that?
Take it off. Hurry up and take it off.
Fine, fine.
Be careful. Don't wrinkle it.
Are you going somewhere nice for your birthday?
Anywhere, as long as you're not there.
That Lee Young Kwang.
If he used the car, he should replace the gas in it.
What?
What's this? He even changed the CD.
[MunHwa Finances: Lee Sun Ho, your payment is due tomorrow. Please make the payment]
Now I really have to...
What do I do?
I'd better do something.
Director,
I have something to say to you.
Could I see you outside alone?
Alone?
What is this?
Dr. Lee is carrying things too far. I'm a married woman!
That will be 429,000 won, including the musicians.
Yes.
One moment please.
- Is there something wrong? - Just one moment please.
Oh, that kid...
Lee Young Kwang did it again.
That kid...
Hello.
Do you recognize me?
My name is Gary Lee.
Pardon? Gallery?
You know MunHwa University, right?
I'm a professor there and a photographer by the name of Gary Lee.
And?
If you search my name, there will be lots of articles about the awards I've received.
What is this?
How can you hire musicians when you don't have any money?
Hey, call the police!
No, no. Please don't call them.
This is a top brand, Swiss watch.
I'm almost there.
I'm sure I'll make it home.
No, it can't. It can't. It can't!
Oh, really!
Oh. Oh, Lee Young Kwang.
Again? Again?
You ended up ruining my birthday again.
[Kyu Han's 12th birthday]
Happy birthday, dear Kyu Han. Happy birthday to you.
Give me that. Give it to me. I want to wear it. Give it to me. It's mine.
Young Kwang, today is your brother's birthday.
[Kyu Han's 24th birthday]
Happy Birthday, Lee Kyu Han.
This is worth saving the money for, from those part time jobs.
Hurry and get him! Stop right there!
- Hey! Stop! - Hyung!
Lee Young Kwang.
The camera!
Please give me a pay advance!
A - E - I - O.
Advance. Advance.
That feels weird.
Why did you want to see me?
There's something I must say to you.
I don't know if you'll agree to it or not,
- but I felt I need to be brave and ask. - I won't agree.
- Excuse me? - I know what you want to say to me.
Did I give myself away?
How can I not know when you're that obvious?
Honestly, I'm a little upset by it.
But in my position...
I couldn't hide it any longer.
Dr. Lee!
I know it's embarrassing and shameful.
But Director, please try to understand how desperate I feel.
You're actually feeling desperate over it?
Wouldn't you feel the same way?
Omo! Omo. My goodness!
Director, just once...
just this one time, accept my position.
I can't! I'm a married woman!
Pardon?
Even if you have feelings for me,
you should have hidden them, made them go away. Some things just aren't possible.
That is you... and me.
Do you understand that?
That's not what I mean.
I'm not an easy woman! If you keep this up, I'll get angry.
That's not what I was trying to say.
I asked to see you to ask for a pay advance.
Pardon?
Advance? Advance?
I didn't know you had to send so much money back home.
It must have been so hard on you.
I had no idea and I overreacted.
I feel so sorry and embarrassed. My face is burning up.
I'm sorry. I behaved in a way that could be misunderstood.
At any rate, I feel relieved and much better after telling you about my situation.
I think I'm glad it turned out this way.
I've never been able to tell anyone about my situation.
Why not?
If you say you're a doctor, people just assume you have a lot of money.
I was afraid of what people would think if I told them about my situation.
I can understand that.
You and I are in a similar situation.
We're similar?
I have a lot of financial obligations, as I'm the main bread earner for the family.
On top of that, I now have to be the buffer between my husband and my mother.
Dr. Lee,
do you want to be friends?
Friends?
We can tell each other our troubles and comfort each other.
Since we're in similar situations, I think we can understand each other.
Let's be Just Friends.
Just Friends.
What now, Mom?
How much are you saying Oppa charged on the credit card?
Yes, Sung Woo.
What? 3,000,000 won?
What did you do now?
Hang up, okay?
I got it. Bye.
This was on you.
I couldn't even go to the museum because of that punk and now all this suffering.
Lee Young Kwang, you ruin my birthday again?
You awful kid.
Oh, really!
Professor!
Professor.
I'll give you the money for the gas at home.
Ta-da!
You suffered so much on your birthday. Here, blow out the candle.
That's fine.
Let's just go home.
Oh, come on now.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Professor,
Happy birthday to you.
That's it, right?
Let's leave now.
Yeah, Young Kwang.
Really? Okay, I'll be right there.
Just as you wished, I have to leave right now.
Bye.
Don't go.
Pardon?
Don't go... to Young Kwang.
