[Episode 27]
Water crackers.
No trans-fat, no sugar. You don't have to worry.
Any siblings?
No.
I'm all alone.
You must be lonely.
This is good.
You're a close relative of the Jangs?
No.
How long have you driven?
Since I was twenty.
No accidents?
None.
I finished talking with the head of Royal Management today.
I told them we'd find a driver on our side.
Oh, a class 2 license?
Class 1.
Excellent. You might have to drive a van.
Jia had an accident in the States. She doesn't drive.
So she said.
Relax.
I get a van?
Once you start working for real next year.
Did you skip your vitamins?
Never.
You can't fool me.
They have a new shipment in.
Yeah?
You'll love the boots.
Ah. The health club.
Royal. Call them.
You'll work through them.
Okay.
Who's younger?
Jia, I think.
December 20.
Summer for me. August.
In the heat. Your poor mother.
Let's go.
You can start today. I spoke with Royal.
Okay.
Get along, you two. Let me know if she upsets you.
As the youngest, sometimes she can be childish.
What do you mean, childish?
Come to dinner tomorrow.
Sure.
What time?
6:30.
Would Sondong be like me?
Yongjun certainly wasn't.
She's quite sentimental, your mother.
My role model.
How so? In character? Or work ethic?
Everything.
I'm sure she'll be a great mother-in-law when my brother gets married.
Korean in-laws are awful, at least on TV.
It's rare to be on good terms.
Drop me and go.
A friend's coming.
What about tomorrow?
In the evening. I'll call if I need you.
Okay.
From now on, you make reservations for me.
Of course.
I'm going to get my brother's car.
He has two.
He sounds nice.
He's really nice.
He won't cause his wife any distress.
Plus he makes a lot of money.
You're lucky to have him.
You've got two yourself.
Who's nicer to you?
Muom.
Why doesn't Hwaom have a girlfriend?
My mom says, a man in his position should be batting them away.
Work. He's got a lot of responsibilities.
Setting your sights, huh?
Lie down.
Is he yours?
It's a sign.
Let's buy a terrier.
For what?
To rear.
You like dogs.
Who'll take care of it?
Mom.
Then ask her.
You mention it.
No way.
Not even for your sister?
I'm so lonesome with Yaya gone.
Hush.
If you're not going to get married, at least get a dog.
Who said I'm not getting married?
You're almost 40.
Nowadays, 35-year-olds are considered flower boys.
Flower Gramps, you mean.
You need to cut your hair, it's so messy.
You're definitely an artist.
Hush. You're noisy.
You leave hair all over the place.
I tie it back.
But you retie it several times!
Shave it off, that's so you.
Give me $100.
I'll shave your head.
Not another word.
Or I'll shave yours.
Someday I'll cut it all off.
Did you prepare what I asked you?
No. My arm's sore.
Hello.
It's Jang Muom.
Yes, hello.
Hello. Can we meet?
Where?
It's about Yaya.
I'm the same age as Yaya. You can speak informally.
I'm worried.
She's strong. She'll get through this.
She's stable now.
It would be hard on anyone.
True.
We can all fall apart at any minute.
Look after her.
Meet her and keep her talking about this or that.
You'll see her often, right?
Of course.
It helps to travel.
Would you like that? On me.
Yaya just started working.
Is she dating anyone?
No. She's not interested in men or marriage.
Why not?
She wants success.
Her brother sacrificed so much for her.
Don't worry too much. I'll let you know if anything is off.
What's your number?
You don't have it?
No.
Yaya's sister-in-law is moving into our studio.
Really?
Yes.
How's Junso? Okay?
Yeah. He hardly cries.
Our house mascot.
Come over if you want to see him.
Can I?
Sure.
When does Georgia's show start?
We start filming this week.
You must be busy.
You want in?
No.
You like dogs?
Yeah.
You know westies?
West Highland White Terriers?
Yes.
Why?
I just thought they were pretty.
I'll have dogs after I wed.
Kids maybe. Dogs definitely.
[I can be your dog's mom]
I should go. Call me anytime.
If you need anything, tell me.
Okay.
Nice view. Hips and all.
My hips aren't too bad either.
Is Yaya selling her work?
Yes.
How many?
She's selling 12, 13... 10 maybe?
Hop in.
No. I'm close.
Getting your exercise?
Yeah.
Call anytime.
Okay.
Rough start, smooth finish.
Her name?
Do Misol.
Takes after her father, I presume?
She doesn't look like you.
My mother.
She was May Queen once.
New project?
A book cafe.
One story?
Four stories.
We're in a recession but it doesn't stop you.
I met Jia's driver. She's fine.
She'll work through a firm.
Which one?
Royal Management.
Jia the Royal Princess.
I've been thinking.
Susannah worries me.
Why?
She's an only child.
Even if they're wealthy, I think they'll want you to act like their son.
It's not like we have two sons, either.
Are you attracted to her?
We've only just met.
Let's see if your fortunes match first.
And if they don't?
For now, forget about the movie this week.
Okay.
Leave it to me.
Who wanted the piece?
Mr. Yun, for his study.
He probably sent the money to your account.
I'll give you 30%.
You're early.
You, too.
I was afraid you'd be waiting.
Milk tea.
Sure.
Weight on the front.
Breathe out and up.
Breathe out and down. Up using your gluts.
And again...
They'll need to pay a large deposit even if the rent's low.
I heard lots of people stop paying after a few months.
Okay.
Is the location okay?
The realtor says a lot of people are interested.
Let's go shopping.
I'll buy you clothes and anything else you need.
I don't need clothes.
I'm good.
I want to.
Later.
Don't you think of me as a brother?
Sure.
I used to envy guys with little sisters.
If I had a little sister, I'd buy her food and fancy purses.
I hated it when you left.
I don't feel like shopping.
Now is the time to dress up.
The one thing I envy you...
Not just envy, it was like a grudge.
A mother and father.
Dinner will be enough.
The Jangchung Hotel?
Their French food is the best.
Not something fancy. Some warm food.
They say rice is the best for a good rest.
There's a Korean place near here.
Mom.
Hello.
Is that my son?
Come home, I made stew.
On the way.
Okay. What's Sonji up to?
Loafing.
Come on.
Coming.
Why give me your phone?
To get you up.
What I wouldn't give for 10 more minutes.
Clean up.
Why so irritated?
What, you like being woke up?
Make you happy?
Cut your hair.
I will if you will.
I'm not a guy.
Who cares these days?
You've got a nicely shaped head, so it'll suit you even better.
I think YOUR hair is annoying.
Bigger and bigger by the day.
Yes. They grow so fast.
Our little treasure.
Oh, the smell of a baby.
Don't hold him so much. You'll wear out your arms.
I'm fine.
When he grows up, it'll hit him hard.
Not having a father.
His aunt had no mother.
When will it end?
I wonder if Yaya will ever marry.
With a nephew in tow.
True. Who would have her?
Maybe after she turns thirty.
A self-made man, perhaps.
She might be lonelier that way.
What can she do?
The only thing she has going is the fact she graduated from college.
Such a sweet baby...
Enjoy.
Thanks.
They have good food here.
No MSG.
You're supposed to display side dishes on white plates.
It's fancier that way.
I never washed dishes. My brother always made the food.
Oh?
He wanted me to focus on studying.
He never had us eat straight from the containers.
Most people eat straight from them because they're lazy to wash dishes.
Oh?
Once, I was so hungry I just started eating straight from the containers,
...but my brother came in.
He said to put it on a plate and eat.
He overheard the ladies where he tutored talking.
They made fun of some orphan for eating straight from the container,
...saying it was because he didn't know any better.
He didn't want me to be made fun of.
White plates remind me of him.
He set the table for me like this.
He was one of a kind.
This stops today.
If it comes to mind, it's okay to talk.
The person listening won't like it.
What you say tugs at the heartstrings.
If it were someone else, I'd tell you to say it on TV.
You reach the heart.
Is it impossible to live without regrets?
I've done so many wrong things.
Like what?
I hurt my brother.
If I'd been nice to Hyogyong, it would have meant so much to him.
The future is what matters.
Not even God is perfect. If he were, there'd be no evil.
This is the good part.
Two specials.
The food is good, but the staff isn't friendly.
You take what you get.
Better than lousy food.
You're an optimist.
Less worries this way.
You saw the Gallery Jo boy?
Yeah. I went to their home yesterday.
And? How is he?
Just my type.
What's he do?
An architect. He studied in New York.
Nice.
Well-spoken?
Yeah. We're going to the movies tomorrow.
He'll have lots of cosmopolitan friends.
I'm sure he does.
And his looks?
A total hottie.
That good?
And great manners, since he lived in the States.
And tall.
His mother is great too.
You'll never know until you get married.
It's not like in the old days.
Nowadays it's the other way around.
True. Lucky us, huh?
Nadan's mom.
Hello.
It's me.
Yes, Mother.
Can you give me your birth date and the hour you were born?
Are you going to look at our fortunes?
Just on the side.
May 10th, 1988.
Year of the Dragon?
Yes.
The hour?
Okay.
I guess you don't care, being Christian.
True.
We don't have a religion.
But the family likes to consult a fortune-teller.
I see.
What's this?
Andong rice punch.
Dallan made it.
Have some, it's good.
I've had it at restaurants.
It does nothing for me.
This is different.
Put it in the fridge.
Your car, sir?
We walked.
Have you met Georgia's brother?
No. Why would I?
His office is above the gallery.
How'd that girl seem?
I couldn't say. Seems fine.
You'll have to get married.
Of course.
When?
When I want?
You have a type?
Do you?
No. I don't care about marriage.
My aunt in America said that.
Till she met my uncle.
Don't you believe in fate?
Like waiting for The One?
It happens.
For good or ill, actually.
Look at my folks.
My mom's two years older.
Really?
It's not uncommon these days.
But not thirty years ago.
And my dad was from a wealthy family.
My mother's friends were jealous.
You'll be happy, too.
Because you had their example.
That was good.
Now you can sleep?
Yeah.
You should hurry home.
How about you? Going back to work?
Yeah. To see my writer.
A girl?
Yeah.
She's married.
What are you doing?
Washing up.
The help?
At the sauna.
Not in cold. I can do it.
In warm water. It's nothing, really.
Even so.
When can you move in?
Can it be soon?
Tomorrow?
Why?
So you can be near Junso.
You need to get better.
I'm fine, better than fine.
Junso is all that matters now.
Send me photos of him every day.
See how he's growing up.
Then I can do anything.
Okay?
Did you skip your vitamins?
Never.
You can't fool me.
They have a new shipment in.
Yeah?
You'll love the boots.
[Subtitles provided by MBC Translated by D. Bannon]
If my daughter gets married to the Jangs,
...and my son to the daughter of Migan Company,
...I could die happy.
Migan?
He's meeting Susannah.
I'll tell you later.
Looking at my age, it's still spring,
...but my heart's grown old, so it feels like autumn.
It'll turn into spring soon.
Was there ever a spring in my life?
Is he here to argue?
Why lie about something like that?
What's wrong with me?
