[Episode 9]
Yaya is gone.
What?
Going to the studio?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
You didn't come home.
I did.
You did? When?
Just now.
You should have said something.
You were showering.
Let's have kimchi and fried rice.
Mom.
She's asleep.
Cut me kimchi then.
You know what I hate most?
Cutting kimchi.
You making your master do it?
Ten bucks.
What can I buy with that?
Lots of stuff.
Such as?
Get some ramen, udon,
or some banquet noodles.
Or see a movie.
Too big.
How was your date?
Not my style.
Get a name for yourself.
Then you can date all you want.
The rear?
Hwaom?
It's me.
Open up.
Are you a girl? Why lock the door?
Just.
I'm getting older, a little saggy.
Can I work it off?
Exercise?
Hm. Here at home.
I'll look into it and let you know.
You had the squats thingy.
You can't work out before bed.
I'm fine. How does it work?
I'll take it downstairs.
They'll see me.
I'll do it here.
Arms like this.
Back straight, bend at the knees.
One. And up.
Two.
Whew. This is no joke.
So we'll do it later.
Later. Tomorrow.
You kicking me out?
I gotta go, Dad.
In the bathroom.
Whatever, forget it.
Goodnight.
Queenie.
You okay?
Get some rest.
Can you?
She'll be fine.
Her friends? Other than Sonji?
Leaving again?
It's something.
It's ringing.
Hello.
Where are you?
Tell me. I'll come get you.
You okay?
Yeah, don't worry.
How can I not? Where are you?
The rest stop.
Rest stop?
I'm going to the country.
Where?
I'll be back in few days. Don't call.
Where?
Yaya.
I'm not a child.
You know how scared you get.
I'm getting on the bus.
The express.
Hm. Bye.
Call when you get there.
You know what I'll do if you don't.
Okay.
The country?
Hm.
Busan, you think?
Sweetie.
Couldn't you apologize to her?
'I'm sorry.'
Nothing I say will work otherwise.
She'll move out on her own.
Something might happen to her.
Okay.
It's just words.
Sorry.
I must have wronged her in a past life.
She's just a kid.
Where you going?
Swimming.
Alone?
Want to come?
What?
What what? Your man says c'mere.
What's so funny.
'My man,' he says.
I'm dressed.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
A smooch for the road.
Oh, you.
So your outfit's more important that me?
Then my man should go swimming with me.
Why go alone? Take Jia.
But not you? You want your sleep?
Hm.
Leggo.
We'll go later.
No.
Okay. Breakfast is on me.
You're coming?
Hm.
My big sleepyhead.
Nothing for us.
Ma’am.
Jia.
Let's go swimming.
Swimming?
Hm.
Your father will buy us breakfast.
Hotel brunch?
Hm.
Dad, Mom.
Help Yaya to be reasonable.
Hey.
Where are you? I'll come get you.
Tell the truth.
What?
I'm a pain.
You'd be happier without me.
Where did that come from? Stop.
She wants you all to herself.
It's not true.
You had to leave school after the accident.
Your back, the pleurisy.
Any other man wouldn't have married.
She should be grateful.
Not fuss at me.
Am I wrong?
But not her highness.
You work so hard, so much stress, so little sleep.
I'm fine now.
Not that I can see.
You need to be careful.
You think I can't tell?
Don't cry. I know.
I can't stand by and watch you do this to yourself.
I'm moving out.
Yaya.
For a few years.
Better than where we are.
She can't blame me for not having a honeymoon.
Happiness is in being at ease.
For me, too.
I told you, she wouldn't look twice at me if you were gone.
Let me talk.
A sister is one thing. A wife is another.
Wait. She wants a word.
Whatever.
I was wrong.
You were right. I didn't think.
You're just saying that.
No. I mean it, I do.
I love him more than anything.
That love will only grow.
I'll treat you better. I will.
Our new family can be happy.
You're at the terminal?
I'll be there.
I'm hungry.
Dad's on his way.
Thanks.
Should we order?
No. We'll eat together.
Aren't you hungry?
No. You should eat.
Moderation. It's better for you.
True.
Can I be happy like you two?
You can try.
Nothing is free.
True.
But you can't clap alone. It takes two hands.
Yeah. You need a good woman.
You haven't eaten?
We just arrived.
Mom, I can swim, I love to swim.
Wake me up next time.
Okay. But you looked so sweet.
I'm famished.
Gimme.
What?
You know.
Meat.
You, too? Meat.
Please.
Has she called you?
I guess so.
Yes.
The rice girl?
Did you pick up? You really shouldn't.
I didn't know it was her. New number.
And?
She hanging on?
Make a clean break.
She getting to you?
No.
Don't pick up again.
Okay.
Or give me her number.
Find someone better.
You can't just date.
Nothing to say?
Okay.
Don't give in.
Move on.
Yes, sir.
Queenie.
Come on. Mom has gone out.
What are you doing? Your mother's allergies.
We can vacuum.
She feels cramped.
Play.
Then why did you bring her?
She's so sad.
Poor thing, locked in a cage.
They call it a doggy hotel. It's a prison.
Will she go?
She went earlier.
Nana, isn't she cute?
Nana, the spa suits you.
Look at your skin.
I'll sleep well tonight.
Nana, what's nicer than Jeju Island?
Hawaii?
Niceland.
Buddhist or not, where do we all end up?
No idea.
Up-ended.
'Smile awhile, frown upside-down.'
Laughter makes you feel young.
Let's live together, you, me and Hwaom.
It will be fun.
How's that?
You're the eldest here. Give Mom and Dad their space.
We can live in the Samsong area.
This your mother's idea?
No. Mine.
I can't have a dog because of her.
A dog is good for you.
For your heart, for your mind.
Come on. Let's move out.
Knock it off.
You'll store up blessings.
For who?
For me.
You know what it's like with a mother-in-law.
Never breathing easy. Never wearing what you like.
The easy life is a myth.
We live with what we've got.
We can live the simple life.
Then get married have your simple life.
Don't pretend this isn't for you.
Take it upstairs.
For your grandson, please.
Is there no way?
No.
Why?
You know why.
Why would I leave my loving son?
For yourself. For your life.
And for my mom.
Life isn't just about running a family.
The end matters.
Exactly.
And this is how you can end as a good mother-in-law.
Think about others.
Like you say, put yourself in the other person's shoes.
See it from Mom and Dad's perspective.
You're manipulative, selfish and loud.
You're louder.
It will be quieter when you're married.
Like a temple?
Just keep your mouth shut with your wife.
She'll be grateful.
Girls today don't like the quiet type.
Yak-yak-yak.
Wait. Listen.
Just think about it.
Listen to me, I know what's best.
Save it for your wife.
Queenie, why is life so hard?
Sonji, time to eat.
Yuk Sonji.
It's your favorite.
Mom, you'll make yourself sick.
Was she pretty?
Uh-huh. Thirty-five and still cuter than you.
You like 'em cute or glamorous?
The glamorous ones are no good.
Why?
Lazy?
Hm. Have some water.
I'm good.
Hey.
You get married, right, and your wife and I don't get along.
What will you do?
Ugh.
Answer.
Case-by-case.
That's no good.
I'm your flesh and blood. She's an outsider.
Blood is thicker than water. You stand by me.
Am I right?
Hm.
A man that doesn't look after his own can't keep a woman's respect.
Well?
I won't get married.
That's just dumb.
I'm the master...
You're my brother first.
And knock off the master stuff.
It lessens you.
It's cause you won't pay.
So give me money.
Where does she get that from?
That's the youngest for you.
All done?
Ready to be served.
Yaya, come eat.
Hang on.
Your favorite.
Want some beef?
No.
What?
Bowls.
Too many dishes.
All your favorites.
You made it all?
Of course.
Here you go.
All for you.
Thanks I guess.
Want some rice.
Am I a pig?
I would have come down.
Look. Like this?
Squats?
Huh?
Feet closer in.
Not from the knees.
There you go. Slowly.
Whoa, that's hard.
You try it.
Shoulder width, arms out.
Down... and up.
Isn't it hard?
Not yet.
Steady.
What are you doing?
Oh, your mom likes a firm tush.
Me, too.
What?
Dad's exercising.
So help him.
He says you like a firm tush.
Whatever.
What's your secret? To keeping him?
Keeping? Is he a pig?
I don't know. It's not like you're pretty.
Now I'm ugly?
I'm just saying, after all these years, doing squats.
You can tell me.
What's he like about you?
Everything.
Everything?
It's just he's so into you, not a little bit either.
You're blessed.
It's the heart. You should try it.
It starts with the heart.
I'll find my own blessings.
Good luck.
Who's that for?
The orphans.
What about your own sons?
Good point. Start earning.
For gum.
Sounds good.
Gum it is.
You trying to get Nana to move out? Start a new house?
Whoa, she blabbed.
What else did she say?
You're manipulative.
It's for you.
How so?
Don't you want to live alone with Dad?
You know what I like?
What?
When you mouth off so I can smack you.
Owie.
Working out?
Telling on me, huh?
Duplicitous, that's what you are.
Your mother is not.
You don't need to bother.
I like you how you are.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So I get home and she's on the sofa while he's doing dishes.
No.
I couldn't believe it.
Of course not.
So?
So I asked what's up and she said he can do them if he wants.
She did?
Uh-huh.
Nasty piece of work.
So I told her to get a job and work.
Good for you.
Weekends are for rest.
Yep. And to sleep in.
He's on call, has to go anytime.
Three times one night.
And she makes him do dishes.
What did he say?
You've got an appointment.
I'll take you after lunch.
What time?
Four. I'll be here by three.
Gangnam General?
No, a private hospital.
A foreign doctor. I found him on the 'Net.
You're eating with Mrs. Jo?
Yes.
So I packed my privates and left.
You should have called.
They wouldn't have worried then.
I took a bus to Busan and called.
Weren't you scared?
People were everywhere.
I kept my phone off till he called ten times or so.
I really would have moved out, I wasn't just talking.
You're still mean.
Nothing in moderation.
When I picked up I really stuck it to 'em.
He was all worried.
She was all, 'I'm sorry, I was wrong, I didn't think.'
Like she meant it.
Not likely.
But I got my favorite foods out of it.
I kept my eye on her.
You got them were you want them.
Hm.
Hope I don't get an in-law like you.
Just do as you're told.
You heard?
What?
I'm doing a new show.
Count me out.
What?
It's only been 2 weeks.
For whom?
We're not the only assistant directors.
Count me in.
I'm so going on workman's comp.
Don't make me laugh.
Take the other job if you're not up to it.
Something unique. That's never been done before.
[Subtitles provided by MBC Translated by D. Bannon]
Janghun.
Let's meet for coffee.
I only have two cups a day. I reached my limit.
Dinner, then.
I know a fermented beans place in Nonhyon.
Sister Cafe?
You know it?
What?
We've been robbed.
Just the master bedroom?
What's SCAP doing about it?
Our supervisor.
You must be scared.
