[Episode 22]
She hasn't changed a bit.
Who?
The guest? The gallery lady?
Yes. She was a nurse.
Oh?
I used to work at a hospital.
But it wasn't for me.
So I quit and learned to cook from my mother.
You worked together?
Yes.
She got mixed up with a married doctor, a real home-wrecker.
But there you have it.
The wife was aghast. The shock triggered a lethal heart attack.
The two of them ran off to the States.
She was no girl, either.
She had a man but they weren't married.
His family wouldn't have her.
Why is that?
She came from nothing.
A single mother, a terrible reputation.
She died penniless while the girl was in school.
But she did all right, found herself a man.
My cousin helped with their family business.
The print shop got to his lungs so kids or not, they didn't get married.
When his father died, he took over.
Then there was the fire.
She couldn't stand to look at his face after that.
She left him. And the kids.
Found herself a married doctor.
It wasn't him at first.
I happen to know she got her hooks in him.
They left, she went to school.
Imagine, leaving your own.
That's life for you, no comeuppance at all.
Don't mention this to the family.
I won't.
She had a good man. Shameless.
Where are the forks?
I'll get it.
A huge appetite.
The other end as well.
Nana, some apple.
It's too sour.
Come on, little general.
Is that so?
- Tea? - Please.
I'll drive you. Don't go alone.
After the guests leave.
I was in Hong Kong the first time I had pu'er.
I'll send some over.
Oh, no.
You're not eating?
I'm popular all of a sudden.
Mr. Ku says traditional dress suits you.
It suits all Korean women.
Not so.
It's all in the shoulders.
Or the jacket doesn't sit right.
We're having guests for dinner.
I see.
Did you enjoy my son's collection?
Except there's none of mine.
Would you mind snapping a photo of us?
Sure.
I'm not made up yet.
You're adorable.
A wealthy family.
Only if Jia can be a part.
Perhaps of her alone?
Of course.
We have company.
Facing me, body to the left.
There. And to the right?
There.
It won't stop ringing today.
I'm to be Junso's uncle.
He'll be talking in a year?
A little.
Shall I?
Hush you.
I need the practice.
You'll make him cry.
This is your grandson.
Can you do it?
Yes.
I'll send the photos.
Good.
A baby?
Yes. A nephew of sorts.
A baby's cry is a joy.
Hard to come by these days?
Yes. My sister turns forty in a few days.
Still nothing.
But living alone is nice.
Whew. I was worried he's married.
You're the right age.
Yes.
Dating anyone?
No.
Want some help?
I'll find you a fine girl.
I'm busy.
Never too busy for love.
True.
She's a talker, that one.
A chairman of some sort?
Probably.
You don't know?
I sell paintings, what do I know?
Yaya.
You like the view?
Yes.
What's this?
A few side dishes.
Let's go.
I'm driving.
No, it's on my way.
You're busy.
Hwaom. You've never seen our house.
She won't let him go.
Thank you.
You don't have to keep thanking me.
I'll be back.
Your arms.
I'm fine.
How did you choose Gallery Jo?
A reference?
No, I just did.
What's the director like?
Lively. Gracious.
Why?
Nana said she's a talker.
They were really here for a portrait.
More than the auction.
Mom's birthday is next month.
Dad wants to give her a portrait.
A surprise.
I could have done it if not for what happened.
I'm good at it.
I'm sure.
Maybe you can do me.
Is the program coming along?
Hm. You interested?
No.
Let me know if you are.
Not likely.
You don't have enemies.
What makes you say that?
You do?
Sometimes I don't like myself.
Why not?
I make mistakes too.
I'm not good at reading people's reactions.
I come off as aloof.
Why, do you have an enemy?
Just.
What?
A first for us. Alone in the car.
What? You don't like driving?
No.
Squirt.
Yes.
I'm not in but it's okay, go ahead.
If Jia makes it big there's a good chance.
He's not dating anyone.
Mom.
What are you up to?
Heading to the studio.
You called a cab?
Uh-huh.
I've asked around to find you a driver.
Give it a day or two.
Hm.
Here. Let me help you.
Mr. Yun is here.
I'll take him.
Just to the door.
It's fine.
Here.
The bag.
Here.
Thanks.
Of course.
Here.
Thank you.
Call an hour before.
Hm.
Sweetie... Junso...
I'll make you scream.
Any friends as pretty as you?
Maybe.
Hobbies?
Not really.
What do girls usually do?
Ah, I don't have a sister.
Oh, hanging out, movies, books.
Just like guys.
Men drink.
Does the producer?
Which one?
Either-or.
Our writer.
Hey.
No one else?
Nope.
Take me through a day.
Eating habits. When do you get up?
Around 7 or so.
A word.
Sir.
Hello.
Oh, hey.
Why don't you pick up?
I didn't get anything.
Ah, battery's dead.
Come on.
What time again?
7:30 or so.
I'm back.
Welcome home.
Is Junso sleeping?
Yaya took him to see his mother.
It's only natural.
I suppose.
We had company.
Junso, it's Mommy.
Junso. Our baby is wonderful.
Can you see him?
How did you find this place?
A friend.
Sit over here.
We've got company.
A friend's daughter. She's nice.
Hot water.
Two?
Yes.
It's not summer yet still they serve cold water.
Are you upset that I didn't warn you?
No.
She's a good match, I think.
A good personality?
Among other things.
Hello.
Come in.
My son.
A lot of traffic?
Yes.
Introduce yourselves.
Jo Nadan.
Ahn Susannah.
Catholic, perhaps?
No. My grandfather liked the name.
Water Su, Mountain San, Life Nah.
It means live pure and true.
And yours?
Well...
Mr. Charm.
Truly?
Kidding.
Hope for Tomorrow.
Try the courses.
Ma’am.
C-Course?
Hm.
How would you like it cooked?
Medium.
For all of us.
You drove here?
Yes.
Well then?
Orange juice?
Please.
He makes quite an impression.
Very sensitive.
Your turn.
You're stunning.
Can you guess what she does?
Question time can be after I leave. I'm leaving after dinner.
Why?
Hungry?
Yup.
Son.
Your son is out.
Where?
Some meeting.
Oh, no, your precious isn't here, what will you do?
It's not just him. I got it for all of us.
Then why so pouty?
That's Koreans women, all about the sons.
Despite being girls themselves.
Talk about lip service.
He's your heart shaker, he is.
A heart shaker?
Your his shitabari, so there.
Do you know what that means?
Do you?
It's Japanese.
A helper in sumo wrestling.
The proper term is shitabataraki.
Well now.
Don't count on him too much.
Once he's married, the wife is in and you're out.
Don't cry to me then. Be nice to me now.
What more can I do?
I cook for you, clean for you.
And still you whine.
Oh yeah?
Wash up.
Why isn't it locked?
Oh, you're here.
You had a meeting?
I just wanted to see her face.
I was clearing my head.
You didn't drive?
I wanted my son to drive.
My son, my son.
What else should I call him?
Should use his name when he's forty?
We should go before it gets late.
It's not goodbye. You'll see him next month.
Don't get sick now. Eat right, grow strong.
So you can see me again.
I'll get better, too. For my little guy.
Yuk Sonji.
Why?
You know yourself?
Like a rat knows his fur.
This painting. Do you or do you not have talent?
Why do you ask?
If I don't?
It's never too early to think about marriage.
Success as an artist is fine for your brother.
There's nothing wrong with finding a good man.
Nothing at all. True love is worth it.
Janghun's sister died without getting married.
Couldn't? Or wouldn't?
She was too picky.
So am I.
Find someone of our class.
Or someone better.
Never.
Don't kid yourself.
What's wrong with me?
Not slender, not tall and no career.
I'm an artist.
You still need a living.
Try and try again.
If at first you don't succeed. I'm home-school.
Always back talk, again, and again.
Who do you think you are?
It's just my opinion.
Should I keep it in?
Foxes trump bears.
You know what I got going for me?
What?
Positive thinking.
Ever see me despair?
Not me.
Despair isn't in my vocabulary.
Despair over what exactly?
Have you ever had to work hard for anything?
I swear, kids today.
I suffered so much for Sonjung's exhibits.
With Yaya.
And I stayed strong through dad's death too.
He's in a good home.
Jo Nadan. Ahn Susannah.
You sound like foreigners.
Susannah means lily in the Hebrew.
Does it?
Yes.
I'm not fond of lilies.
What do you like?
Roses in baby's breath.
Together they're quite lovely.
True. Each is lifeless without the other.
Yes.
That's my cue.
Please stay.
Maybe next time.
Hwaom.
I'm just leaving.
I'm nearly there.
Alone?
In a cab.
Why didn't you call?
You're busy.
Not that busy.
I'll be there soon.
Hm.
Nadan?
They're still talking.
Is Jia home?
Upstairs.
Something's bothering her.
What?
She didn't say.
Is it work?
What kept you?
A meeting.
The writer.
And?
What did she say?
The producer hurt my feelings.
Why?
I said hello and he was whatever.
How old is he?
Nadan's age.
He's busy.
Even so.
Good looking?
Jo Jia, forget about some producer.
This is your chance, focus on that.
I'll find you a good man from a good family.
I already have. You know that's not just talk.
I went there today.
A real palace.
What do they do?
That will keep.
Leave your prince to me.
And he doesn't have a girlfriend because he's too busy.
Okay.
Is he tall?
Like your bother.
His voice?
Very nice.
Who?
Jia's future husband.
You're busy. A wife and a husband in the same day.
When do you have time to work?
I can do it all at once.
Nadan met someone?
Hm.
What's she do?
She manages her father's clinic.
Do I know them?
No. He's a plastic surgeon. Her mother is a dentist.
A 7-story location.
More like a building actually.
Hey.
Where are you?
Outside.
I'm leaving soon. Can we talk?
Sure.
You're waiting on Yaya?
Yes.
I'll drive her. You can go.
Yes, sir.
Get in.
Not too far. Is there a park nearby?
Sure.
Sit.
Go ahead.
I need a favor.
What?
[Subtitles provided by MBC Translated by D. Bannon]
Check this out.
What?
Tusher-pusher.
To wear?
It's stressful.
Muom said...
Men get over things mighty quick.
Anything you like.
He's finally interested.
I knew it.
