[Episode 6]
Mother of mine
You gave to me all of my life
To do as I please
I owe everything I have to you
Mother, sweet mother of mine
Mother of mine
When I was young
You showed me the right way
Things should be done
Without your love,
Where would I be?
Mother, sweet mother of mine
I feel so much better.
Did you used to sing for Yongjun?
Sure.
What song?
'I Miss You' and such.
And?
He loved it.
Aren't we going down?
There's a shop upstairs.
A hair place, a surprise for Yongjun.
This late?
This late.
You won't be sorry. Change is good.
A cut?
Yep. To here.
Ah, a bob?
Yep.
Let's see.
Make it nice.
Bobs are back in style.
Isn't she gorgeous?
Runs in the family.
She's my in-law.
Really? You're both so lovely.
You look just alike.
Shall we begin?
Nothing's on.
Mom, I want ice cream.
Anything you want.
Bundang ice cream.
Bundang? They have that there?
Hm. All natural, not too sweet, really good.
Best thing before bed.
Uh-huh, I bet.
They're open till 11.
Missus.
Yes?
Call a taxi. Go to Bundang.
For some ice cream. I'll get the address.
Make room in the freezer.
Of course.
Who is it?
Me.
What?
Queenie.
I didn't know you like dogs.
You were in Gangnam today?
No.
No?
Why?
They called your name over the loudspeaker.
Queenie.
You doing a new show?
Yeah.
What's it about?
Not sure yet.
Hey, my back. Being assistant director is killing me.
So be a floor director.
That's a step down.
C'mon.
Whatever.
Editing all night is hard on my back.
Suppose I slip a disk?
You kidding? From two shows?
Not just two.
So work in Seocho.
I'm not being lazy. It's a health issue.
Don't be a baby.
I'm not. You need a doctor's note?
The dressing room.
Who's there?
Me.
Going to bed?
I'm changing.
Walking up the stairs at your age?
My age?
I should go to you.
You missing anything?
Like what?
Oh, valuables.
That's girl stuff.
And that?
This? It's cheap, why?
Your father surprised the help coming out of your room.
That's nothing. I asked her to straighten it up.
Something stinks.
It rained earlier. My jacket.
You tired?
Not at all.
Early to bed, early to rise.
I'll escort you.
Kicking me out?
No, helping you.
Same difference.
Stay here then.
Just like when I was little, snuggled up to Nana's...
Behave.
Nana, I don't get Granddad.
Why step out on a glamour queen like you?
Of course.
Now I'm a bit old, but I was pretty fine back then.
He was an ingrate.
Exactly. They say men are immature.
Typical man, my Granddad.
Speak for yourself.
I'm too mature, women can't take their hands off me.
Just don't have an affair when you get married.
You kidding? No woman can cage me, baby.
Owie.
Hush, you.
M'am, your bath.
Hm.
Goodnight, your ladyship.
Night.
The 3,000 bows...
A dog?
Nana.
Is it yours?
A friend's, while he's in the States.
Your mother's allerric.
Not allerric, allergic.
Allergic-shmallergic, get it out.
There's no other family in town.
What about Mr. Yun or Mr. Lee?
She'll get sick, moving around too much.
All the same, it's your mother or a dog.
Just a few days.
Help.
Your father would be furious.
That's why I'm hiding her.
And locking the door?
Just don't say anything.
And when your mother finds out?
Remember how she acted when with our friends' dogs?
No.
Nana, she won't find out.
She's downstairs, we're upstairs.
It's just a week.
Five more days
What do you say?
But your father.
She's a living creature.
Look at her.
Like you always say, it's a blessing to you.
She's sweet, no barking.
What's her name?
Queenie.
Don't joke.
I'm not. It's Queenie.
A queen that looks like a goat?
Nana, she has feelings.
What were you thinking anyway?
I never had a puppy cause of Mom.
I've missed it, so has Hwaom.
Am I right?
She's sweet.
If you like ebony.
Look at that face, those eyes.
She's even prettier than you.
Kidding, kidding.
No curves on that one.
Gross.
Nana, you can cut us off, not a dime of inheritance.
Just look the other way.
Please, Big Mama.
Cut US off?
Just 5 days?
You never saw a thing.
It might be found.
Why should she? Don't worry.
Dad never comes in here.
Blech.
Queenie, say hello to Nana.
'Hello, Your Glamour-ship.'
Isn't she cute? A dog can be a great comfort.
Let's get one for the three of us.
Come again?
Without Mom and Dad.
Weren't you lonely as a third wheel?
Third wheel?
Are they kids? Using such terms.
Kids?
Going to bed?
No.
Sit with us a bit.
Are you feeling poorly?
No.
This is a fun show.
Look at that dog.
Hairy thing.
TV or not, it's no good.
It belongs in the yard.
All it will do is bark at strangers.
Exactly.
I don't know what people see in them.
Some people eat them.
That's just as bad.
We're all better off...
I wouldn't mind one.
If not for the allergies. A small poodle.
Ugh. Too messy.
Missus. Vacuum the boys' rooms morning and evening.
M'am.
Their hair gets in the carpet.
Really? At their age?
I saw it.
We all lose a little.
Your eyesight must be so good.
Come in.
What's this?
Pig's feet.
For me or the wife?
Wait. You got it cut?
We-ei-ird.
Now you look even younger.
A perfect ten, actually.
You think?
Yes! Pretty, huh? Sweet and innocent.
Hold on.
Don't.
Hang on.
So pretty.
Let's see.
Here.
A whole new woman.
What made you think of it?
Yaya.
You told her to?
Uh-huh.
Both of us.
Closer.
So pretty.
Closer. That's it.
Chins in, okay. 1, 2, 3.
One more. 1, 2, 3.
So cute. One more. A little closer. 1, 2...
EEP.
You okay?
You all right?
I'm fine.
Sit.
Yaya, step back, we need the vacuum.
It's in the utility room?
Yes.
Yummy.
Brain freeze?
No I'm good.
I just gained a pound.
You can afford it.
Women love ice cream. Men, drinking.
Liquor is poison.
You have any eligible girlfriends?
I mean really good girls.
They all are. Why?
For your brother.
To marry him?
There's no rush.
Before he starts dating the wrong sort.
We can't have that.
Some gold-digger after an architect.
Dad's a doctor, you run a gallery.
Whoever it is will think she struck it rich.
Exactly. Never mind some cafe...
What cafe?
Never mind.
He's dating a waitress?
An interior designer.
I told him to end it.
I had no idea.
I worry he's too naive.
He needs to learn better.
Don't let on.
You know anyone?
They're all minxes.
If only he would listen.
Mr. Jo.
Want a beer?
Not in the bedroom. Too cold.
I like how it warms us up.
Didn't you listen to Hwaom?
Too much beer is bad for you.
Fine.
What now?
Tomorrow's breakfast.
We have help for that.
I have to check and make sure it's just so.
Yong said wives have a saying.
Leave him home, he whines. Take him out, he pines.
Leave him with the daughter-in-law, he nags. Is it true?
That's for the retired men.
So I'll be a whiner when I retire?
I would love having you here.
Should I retire?
Ah, well.
I'm already prepared for it.
I'll get out at least once a week.
Your staff is competent, but they're not you.
And you're far too young anyway to retire.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You sound like a man in his forties.
Yeah?
You could have a girl 10 years younger.
Listen to you buttering me up.
My feelings for you haven't changed in 30 years.
Actually I love you more now.
Lip service.
When did I ever? You know I'm not that type.
C'mere, it's been too long.
Old fool.
Old?
It's embarrassing.
To hug your husband?
Ah, you want me to do it.
My sweet innocent little babydoll.
Oh, you.
Dad, are you with Mom?
Yongjun's all about his wife now.
Later it will be baby first, wife second, me last.
I never would have thought it.
I'm so lonely.
If only Mom were alive. She would treat me right.
It makes me so sad.
If only I could turn back time.
I can't even remember what she felt like.
Or how she looked when she held me.
Let's get it blown up.
Easier on our old eyes that way.
Don't you think?
Not for me.
Get it blown up.
No, it would look strange.
How so?
Who took it?
I can't recall.
Some girlfriend, I suppose.
Not a boyfriend?
Hush.
Dad.
What now?
Call and say it's tea time.
M'am.
Hey. Gallery Jo.
Hello.
This is Ms. Jo.
Hello.
Have you thought it over?
Yes.
Shall we discuss it over lunch?
Perfect.
Monday?
Yes.
I'll text the location.
See you then.
Well?
Lunch on Monday.
Where's Yaya?
She told you about the dentist.
Did she?
You're losing it.
You never forget stuff?
That's different.
You need a muse.
A girl.
I use girls.
Not models, a girlfriend.
Not something you force.
Before your forties.
Yun met a girl in her thirties at his sixtieth birthday party.
What about babies? Think about that.
Well?
Like you would know?
Mom's alone, you're a bachelor.
There goes our family. Kaput.
Baek Ya?
Yes.
This way.
Thanks.
Bane of my life.
This way.
Hey.
I have an 11:30. Go in my place.
A chick?
No.
Yu Jongnyol. I'll give him your number.
Buy him lunch, give him the nickel tour.
You got it.
Listen.
What?
I saw that freak again. At the dentist.
Which freak?
That chick. From yesterday.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Whoa, you are so meant to be.
You think she planned it?
Cause we're rich.
Right from the start.
As if.
My nana says people are the worst.
Yesterday was a whim.
You think she's following you 24/7?
Talk later. Kim wants me.
Where shall we put it?
Here. Or there.
Whichever looks best.
Of course.
Hello.
Refreshments.
M'am.
Nothing too hot or cold today.
How much?
$13.
Hey.
Gimme a minute.
Where are your manners?
Like we're strangers?
Where ya headed?
The Yoksam area.
Let's talk a minute.
You got it fixed?
Yeah.
Mango sherbet.
Like a latte would kill you.
Americano.
Iced?
No.
I'll get mine.
You have a cavity?
Scaling.
Then you shouldn't have sherbet.
I'm used it, so there.
You know a fortuneteller?
Aren't you curious why we keep running into each other?
I sure am.
It doesn't make sense.
Let's go ask.
Not like an exorcist or anything.
I wouldn't know.
Like you know anything.
Hello.
Nana, where are you?
Going to lunch, why?
Always so popular. You know a good fortuneteller?
Fortuneteller?
Hm.
Why?
A friend is under a curse. So I'm asking.
Let's see.
Somewhere close. Gangnam.
I know a place.
Have Mr. Yun set it up.
Bye now.
You game?
How many times is this?
Four times. Give me your number.
Hello.
Right. What's your address?
By the theater.
You free now?
Right.
Gangnam Villa, by the theater.
Are you married?
Yesterday you had potatoes and carrots and such.
Would it kill her to say something?
You can eat all that?
I guess it would.
What's this?
Sweets.
From the ribbon-cutting.
Ah.
Wait.
How did it go?
Sit.
Did you talk to her?
And?
She listened and that was that.
She didn't cry?
No.
Till you get to drinking.
You memorize her number?
No.
Then delete it.
It's easy to forget over time.
Especially since you didn't fight.
It's natural to want to call.
A couple reading?
We're not a couple.
Be as candid as you like.
Give us the bad news.
About what?
Well..
A partnership.
Business then?
Potentially.
Lying liar.
Name.
Jang Hun.
Hun? As in 'Success?'
Yes. I'm 29.
Year of the tiger.
Your name?
Yuk Sonji.
Yuk Son-dumb.
Good 'Son.' Wise 'Ji.'
Good and wise, ri-i-ight.
Age?
25.
Year of the horse?
Four years younger?
So I got hit by a kid?
[Subtitles provided by MBCTranslated by D. Bannon]
You should get married.
Meant for each other, soul mates.
Soul mates, he said.
Wanna bet?
So getting married.
I saw him talking to his nana.
They've got a servant, taking care of every little thing.
And he's hot.
You have time today or tomorrow?
Six o'clock.
I'll text you the place.
Queenie, shall I tame the shrew?
