Cutie Pie
Episode 65
You're here?
Yeah.
- Um... - Um...
You go first.
No, it's not important. You go first.
It's so hot out there. It's like a sauna.
You're right.
I sweated so much, it made me thirsty.
I used to like you.
I like you too.
Not like that but as a man.
Noona.
Why did I tell him? It's so awkward.
What?
Your great son with the PhD came to Korea? Why?
We need to get him married.
We want him to get married during this trip.
Is there someone you have in mind?
Not yet.
If there's someone you know, introduce her to us.
Of course there are.
Why look far? How about my youngest daughter?
She's smart and is pretty. You can't ask for better.
She's too young.
What do you mean young? At that age, I already had a baby.
I'll give you a picture of her. Just show it to him.
Who knows? We may end up as in-laws.
Let's see.
Which one... oh!
Yes, Ba Ni looks pretty in this one.
Are the kids doing well in school?
Yes, pretty much.
It's only natural they wouldn't do so well.
What?!
No, my son is doing very well. He's first in his class.
You're totally clueless.
Being first in his class doesn't mean anything.
Whether a national or an elite middle school, you have to prepare now for that goal.
That's the flow of things nowadays.
But since you work, it won't be possible for you.
What are you talking about?
I can get him into the national school. Don't you know?
I always do what I say I will.
You think it'll be that easy?
It's especially hard for working moms.
Hey! I'm Im Ji Won.
I can do anything. I graduated from medical school!
[How to get your child into a national school]
What is this? I have no idea what it's saying.
This isn't as easy as I thought.
Mom, are you crazy?
What do you mean marriage meetings at my age?
It's just that he's too good to let go.
Where is that place in America? Oh yeah, Silicone.
That's where he works.
Mom, it's probably Silicon Valley, not silicone.
Right. That's what it is, Silicon Valley.
Only geniuses can work there.
Anyway, I'm not interested.
If you covet him that much, have Unni go.
Unni can go meet him.
I may be desperate but I do have a conscience.
How can I send Yeo Jin to a doctor from Silicon Valley?
That'll be like putting pearls on swine.
She must have shown your picture already.
Yes, it's me. What did he say?
Did he say he'll meet Ba Ni?
What?
He wants to meet Yeo Jin?
No. No, I'd be grateful of course.
Decide on the time and place and let me know. Okay.
Okay.
That silicone doctor is interested in you.
M... me?
Yes. The picture I gave her was of the two of you.
After seeing her picture?
What's wrong with him? Is he missing something upstairs?
You're right. You didn't tell her I only went to high school.
She's a friend of mine. She knows all that.
He'll probably change his mind after seeing her in person.
What are you saying?!
Yeo Jin is prettier in person than in pictures.
Isn't that so, Mrs. Silicone?
Mrs. Silicone!
You boasted that you graduated from medical school.
Can't you figure it out on your own?
Mi Na, I didn't know what I was talking about.
Please tell me how to do this.
You know a lot of people in the circle.
Fine. But you should know one thing.
This is something I don't share with just anyone.
This is information shared only among mothers of the elite of the elite students.
Okay. I understand.
Have you ever heard of the IRIS Special Class?
- IRIS Special Class? - Shhh!
Quiet. It's top secret.
It can never leak out.
Yes, quiet. Top secret.
It's a class that only the chosen students can attend a secret special class.
Last year, they had 90% of their student accepted to the national school.
They have the best teachers and a selective group of students.
The problem is knowing how to qualify.
It's such a secret community, even I don't know.
But I happen to know the woman who is in charge of qualifying students.
Other than she's a mother of a student there I don't know anything else.
You have to show your unconditional obedience.
There can't be one, single misstep with her.
You must! You must follow her exact instructions.
That's the only way you can send Joon to the national school.
Hello?
Are you Joon's mother?
Ah...
Uh-uh.
Aren't you the person who was sitting over there?
Joon's mother...
I'm the only one who will ask questions here on out.
Do you understand?
Yes.
I heard you work in an obesity clinic.
Are you a salaried doctor?
There are 2 doctors and 2 nurses who work there. I'm the owner.
The clinic isn't that big.
Joon's father is a movie director?
Pardon?
Yes, that's right.
Give me your answer immediately.
It will behoove you to not draw suspicion to yourself.
Yes. I'm sorry.
What do your parents do?
My parents? Why do...
Joon's mother, what did I say earlier?
To not ask any questions.
What do they do?
They don't work.
They don't work but I think they own a huge building.
Hm. That's not too bad.
These days, we consider the finances of the grandparents more than the parents.
Anyway, that's fine.
I will inform you what happens next by phone.
I bought some cookies on my way here.
Please take these to your kids at home.
Joon's mother, don't waste your time on needless things and only do what you're told.
I understand.
We got an order.
This item is getting good results.
You're right.
Who could that be?
Yeah, let's forget about everything.
Forget it and find someone who will like me.
That could make Young Kwang feel more comfortable.
Ahjummoni!
What brings you here?
Oh? Madam Song!
Mrs. Doctor, how are you?
Mrs. Doctor?
Hello.
Have you been well?
Why are you here?
What do you mean why? I came to take you home.
You're going on a marriage meeting tomorrow.
It'll be a shame if some strange man snagged you away before then.
You're going on a blind date?
Um, yeah...
Since you're a professor, you probably know.
You know that silicone in America?
He's a doctor of engineering there.
Silicone? Oh, you mean Silicon Valley?
Yes, that's right! Silicon Valley!
That doctor is completely taken by Yeo Jin and wants to meet her.
How nice for you.
You should have taken her when you had the chance.
Pardon?
Oh, yeah. Are you also a doctor?
No. No, I'm not.
You're not?
Oh, so you weren't a doctor.
But then I suppose it's very difficult to get that doctorate.
Madam Song, let's go home.
Yes, yes. You need to get to bed early today so the makeup will go on well tomorrow.
Professor Lee, you should hurry up and earn your doctorate.
So you can get yourself a woman like our Yeo Jin.
Madam Song, stop with your nonsense and get going.
I'm leaving. Bye. Bye.
Jung Soo Jung, aren't you going to study?
I just turned the TV on.
Such a lie. You've been sitting there like that for over an hour.
Wow. Accurately pointed out. Thank you.
What?
Madam Song, you drive me nuts.
Why did you say those things there?
What? I didn't make anything up.
Don't frown like that. You'll get wrinkles around your eyes.
People will think she's going out for Miss Korea.
Im Ba Ni, you'd better be nice to your sister.
It'll benefit you to have a doctor for a brother-in-law.
Oh, that's not right.
Not every meeting ends in marriage. If it did, I'd be married 10 times over.
Is that so?
How unfortunate for you that you only got married 2 times and not 10 times?
Wow. Accurately pointed out. You're amazing.
You!
Yeo Jin's home.
Take a look at this for me.
Your passport?
Oh? It expired a long time ago.
It did expire, didn't it?
That puts me in a sticky situation.
Why Father? Do you have to go out of the country?
Since Yeo Jin is getting married to someone in America,
Ha Ryong needs to go there with her, as her father.
Since when have you been her father?
If you still want to start being a father,
don't show yourself at Yeo Jin's wedding.
Ok Sook, aren't you being too much?
What do you mean I can't go to my own daughter's wedding?
Tell me to kill myself instead!
Whatever you want.
There's no one here who will stop you.
Yeo Jin, I don't want to stay here but go to America with you.
Please take Ha Ryong with you. To America. Okay?
I haven't even gone to the meeting yet.
The way you act, I'll have a baby by my second meeting!
Why should I care whether that woman goes to that meeting or not?
Did I drink too much coffee?
Why can't I go to sleep?
Hello.
Did you bring the child's documents I asked for?
Oh, yes. There are report cards and award certificates he's received.
Write this down.
Pardon? Oh, yes. One moment please.
Sam Geo Ri Supermarket. 02-555-3434.
Call the place and tell them this. "Do it as usual."
Do what? Do what as usual?
Yes. Do as usual.
Is this really all I have to do?
Just do as you're told. Then Joon will be accepted to our IRIS Special Class.
Really? I really thank you.
I don't know how to repay your...
Isn't it too much on my lips?
I told you it's pretty!
Just a minute. Be still for a minute.
Just like that.
Don't frown.
The makeup looks so tacky.
You think so?
Hey, Im Ba Ni! What do you know?
You just go to school.
And don't upset our Mrs. Doctor.
Okay, okay, okay.
Let's see...
What are you doing?
I bought this so I can listen to it with you.
How dare you...
Oh? Isn't that Im Yeo Jin?
She's looks so excited to be going to her blind date.
That dress doesn't even look good on her.
Professor!
Empty Shell, today's field study is cancelled.
Pardon?
What's going on?
Do what as usual?
Is this Sam Geo Ri Supermarket?
Please do as...
No. I can't take chances over the phone.
I have to make sure it's done right.
Excuse me but could you give me your address?
Excuse me.
Yes. How can I help you?
Please do it as usual.
Filling this case is what that meant?
This is a special cooler for the IRIS Class teacher.
The mothers of the students take turns filling it.
That'll be 50,000 won.
I see. That's what that was about.
You could have done this over the phone. Why did you come all the way here?
I didn't want to make any mistakes.
It's good to make sure.
I'm not so sure. Coming here might be your mistake.
Pardon?
Hello.
I definitely told you to make a phone call.
Why did you come here?
That is...
I don't believe Joon is a fit for our IRIS class.
What do you mean by that?
I told you to call and tell them to do it as usual.
But I got what you wanted done.
I had the cooler stocked with the drinks you wanted.
The cost of those drinks is not what's important.
That was just a test.
It was just a test to see if you will follow our instructions.
You went overboard.
By doing so, you ruined Joon's future.
I'm sorry.
From now on, I will only do as you instruct.
It's too late. You only had one chance.
Goodbye.
Please give me one more chance!
Do it as usual! I'll only call them!
I have to get Joon into a National school!
Please!
Please permit me one more chance!
Uh... are you Im Yeo Jin?
Yes. Hello.
Please sit.
Shall we order?
Yes.
Please give me a menu.
This isn�t so easy.
Here, take this.
I'm fine...
Thank you.
So you work in an obesity clinic?
What kind of work is that?
Oh, that is...
What do you mean you work?
Just be honest with him, and tell him you just loaf around?
Hyung, and then what?
I'm a nurse's assistant.
I help to take care of the patients and help them in their weight loss.
I see.
There's something I'm really curious about.
Why would a person like you want to meet me?
You're very attractive. Don't you have confidence in yourself?
I have no illusions about who I am.
No one would put us together.
Truthfully, I said I wanted to meet you in attempts to avoid these meetings.
I see. Now that I know the reason, I got my appetite back.
This is so expensive. Since we ordered it, let's finish it before parting ways.
Did he ask to see you again?
You heard everything so why act like you don't know?
You must only be satisfied after hearing me say it.
You're right. I was rejected. Satisfied?
Do you want me to buy you a beer?
Are you giving me treatment for the illness you gave me?
By the way, why were you at that restaurant?
I often go to places like that and eat by myself.
I suppose you're an expert at spending time alone.
What Madam Song?
Really?
That man has strange taste.
Okay. I'll be right home.
Okay.
I'll save the drink of condolence for the next time.
Why?
That man wanted to see you again?
Yeah. He seems to really like me.
Professor. Bye.
Preview
I was cast for a drama. A 50 episode one!
I'll do better, Mother.
Your actions aren't like before, Sung Soo!
What if we all get cut because of him?
I've always wanted to get a Henna tattoo.
Your boyfriend spent your tuition money with you?
I need to talk to him!
Director, don't do that.
I'll meet with him.
So no matter what I do, please stay seated.
