[Episode 88]
Are you making stew?
Unless you're going to help, get out.
I want to learn how to make kimchi stew.
You're just so heartless.
The same goes for you.
If you want to give me the evil eye, shut the water off first.
You have to conserve.
This is what you should be teaching your daughter.
It's your dream to marry your stepdaughter off to a rich family, isn't it?
You think rich people waste money?
They're much stingier than ordinary people.
You criticized me for my ill manners
but you're not that much better than me.
Want a bucket of water on your face or will you shut up?
I'll take the water.
It's not like you haven't done that before.
I wonder what Father is going to say when I tell him you threw water in my face.
So go right ahead.
I got a text from Dallan.
How do you make your kimchi stew, Mother?
She's coming over on Tuesday.
The day after tomorrow.
Then, we should do the groceries tomorrow.
Yes.
What are you doing? I told you to read a book or something.
I want to learn how to cook from Mother.
Take your time. There's no rush.
Okay.
Look straight.
I said, look straight.
What's your schedule like tomorrow?
I have acting class in the morning, and I'm working out in the afternoon.
Register at the gym and go with her.
Okay.
When is your birthday?
I didn't get to hear it yesterday.
Do you know, Mother?
Of course.
It's the 26th. Of this month...
I thought your birthday was in summer.
According to my birth record.
It's too complicated to explain so I just go by the birthday on my records.
I don't want any cake this year.
Well, you should still have seaweed soup.
What will you prepare for Sonji and her mother?
I have a catering place I usually use.
Sonji's mother doesn't like catered food.
How would she know if it's catered or not?
You can tell just by looking at it and tasting it.
Once she was invited to someone's place
and complained that they hired a chef to cook.
She said meeting at a restaurant would've been better.
She said serving catered foods shows no heart
And that she rather prefers a home cooked meal.
Why is she so picky?
It's not like we're cutting back on food nowadays.
Who's put their life on the line for food these days?
I told you yesterday.
Food shows how much you care for that person.
You should cook a few dishes yourself since you have the maid.
Catered food has similar menus and they all taste the same.
That's right. There's no 'gaemi' to catered food.
You must've been invited to other people's houses often.
I have some well-off friends.
I want toast for breakfast tomorrow.
Okay.
Do you have to have toast when your brother's gone?
What does, 'gaemi' mean, Dad?
It's a dialect for 'special taste.'
The Korean language has so many expressions, so it's difficult.
You've never been to Jeonju, have you?
No.
In North Korea, Gaesung has the best food,
and in South Korea, Jeonju does.
Your grandmother's hometown was Jeonju.
Actually, my grandmother, your great-grandmother.
She would marinate food with her hands, and it was just so good.
There's an old saying...
People who moved to Jeonju can't beat Jeonju natives.
And the second best thing in Jeonju is the music,
but the very best of Jeonju is good food.
That's how important food is...
With Nadan gone...
How can I be talking about food?
He looks so handsome when he's concentrated on his work.
Junso must be awake.
He's sleeping again.
Are you hungry?
Go take care of Junso.
I'll make instant noodles.
You want some, too, right?
Yes.
Should I defrost some rice cakes?
I'm kind of in the mood for instant noodles today.
Hurry up and eat before the noodles get bloated.
I sliced up a new batch of kimchi.
I want to go see Junso but I shouldn't, right?
I don't want to wake him up.
Should we eat it out of the pot?
Eating instant noodles from the pot is the best.
Okay.
The noodles are cooked just right.
It's perfect, isn't it?
Yeah.
Make sure you don't let Junso watch TV or videos.
I heard that it's bad for brain development.
There's no reason to do something people say is bad for them.
Of course.
I read that from an infant care book, too.
You look so handsome when you're concentrating on your work, sir.
Just call me by my name.
Were you going to eat toast for dinner?
Yes.
That can't do.
I should come on Sundays, too.
When I'm not here, you just eat
toast or rice cakes for meals.
Gosh, I suddenly crave toast.
I'll make some for you.
I like the ones with eggs.
You mean, French toast?
Do you want syrup or sugar?
Sugar, of course.
Here.
Mom, I'm hungry.
But you'll gain weight if you eat at this hour.
Just don't eat anything.
Ouch, my arm hurts.
I'll massage your arms.
I'll massage you.
Is your brother drinking?
He's not even calling.
Does he have to report everything to you like a mama's boy?
No, but he's getting really late...
Clam!
Hello?
I came by to see your face.
Okay.
Is he here?
Yeah. He wanted to see me before he goes home.
Tell him to come in.
No. It's too much trouble.
All the greetings.
What did you do to your face?
Nothing...
Why?
It's shiny...like glass.
I got a facial massage and worked out...
Do you have some muscles now?
A little.
What about you?
You can't call this a human stomach.
Then, what do you call it?
A washboard.
Can I wash my clothes on your tummy, then?
Sure.
On our wedding night.
You can do laundry on my abs.
I wanted to give you this.
It's a small gift.
I bought it because I wanted to be the first for you.
Whatever it may be...
It's nothing special.
Even if you picked up a stone off the street, if it was for me,
it's special to me.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
Hello.
Were you at our house?
I just stopped by.
To give me a gift.
Go in.
Okay.
I'll be going now.
Bye.
What is that?
He wants me to open it when I'm alone.
Well, I...
Gosh, I'm so curious.
What's in there?
It's none of your business.
Oh, I get it.
It must be underwear.
Underwear?
Seeing that she's so secretive.
Oh, goodness.
My son, don't you want to date?
I will...when it's time.
So when will that time be?
You're pushing 40 here.
I'm not 40.
I'm still in my 30s.
Well, you're getting there, aren't you?
You're closer to 40 than to 30.
You have to meet someone by spring to get married by this year.
That woman. She's so adorable.
She's pretty.
Meet her.
Why would I meet her when I don't want to get married?
It's my wish.
I told you.
I like my single life.
What do you think?
She's prettier than any beauty pageant contestant.
Although she might just look pretty in pictures.
She's supposed to look even prettier in real life.
Since her face is so pale, she's not very photogenic.
If this is her bad picture, she must be really beautiful.
Just meet her.
No, thanks.
Don't say that. Aren't you curious?
Once we grow old, it's all the same.
Prettier girls turn uglier when they get older.
You can't be satisfied completely with your son's or grandson's life.
Just give up on certain things,
and empty your hearts, early on.
Why are you so stubborn?
I'm sorry.
If you pressure somebody, that makes them not want to do it even more.
When he sees me and Sonji get married and live happily together,
he'll change his mind. So don't you worry.
Grandma, you just lure him
into watching the movie 'My Love' together with you.
Okay.
Did you see Sonji today, too?
Just briefly, on my way home.
She's so adorable and I love her even more.
She's not the prettiest, but I really like her.
You don't get sick of faces like hers.
Girls were always chasing after your grandfather.
But he's always loved only me.
I know.
That's why he never divorced you.
There are so many guys who leave their wives.
Be good to her if you want to be respected when you're older.
I promised myself I'd do that after watching 'My Love'...
Nadan, are you lonely, and scared?
Even if you are, don't think about taking me with you.
I still have tons of work to do,
and I have to see Jia get married, too.
I have to see my grandchild be born...
For a child to be successful, the child needs a mother's intelligence,
a father's lack of interest, and grandfather's riches.
I can't die without fulfilling the grandfather's duties.
My grandchild will have to be at least 30 to support himself.
My poor son...
Stay in heaven with your mother.
Although Jia likes toast, I made rice because that's what you like.
So, how dare you stop me from hiring a caterer?
Have a heart, will you?
What about you?
Do you have a heart?
Nobody can be as cruel as you.
Socrates said, 'Know thyself.'
You'll regret this later on.
Do you regret what you did, then?
You don't, do you?
I don't, either.
Will doing the dishes once hurt?
Do you have to make me do all the work?
I mean, I did the cooking, too.
What can I do when Father insists that I don't do anything?
Even dogs prioritize who they should obey the most. You know that, don't you?
For me, Father is always #1.
You...
What about me?
You're very cruel and heartless.
Well, I'm going to be like that until the very end so watch me.
What time was I born?
I don't know.
I figured.
Since all you could think about was the hot married doctor,
you don't even remember when I was born.
That was before I met my husband.
You were born around 9 in the morning.
I want the exact time.
I went to a fortuneteller and he told me fates change from before and after 9AM.
So, was it before or after 9?
You don't know, do you?
Dad said I was born at 7:50 in the morning.
Why did you ask if you knew already?
Just to check whether you knew.
But I figured.
Let's see whether you'll live so righteously.
Who said I'd live righteously?
I don't care about that at all.
All I care about is...
Making my life miserable?
Is that what you want?
Improving you as a person.
You said, you become a better person through trials.
But am I not a happy trial for you?
You don't know me at all.
Of course not. I never lived with you.
Well, do you know me?
I don't think you know me either.
I can't believe I gave birth to you...
You had seaweed soup after giving birth, didn't you?
Let me just say one thing.
Why did you eat seaweed soup if you weren't going to raise me?
Dad made you that soup, didn't he?
Don't even talk about him.
You're not living such a perfect life yourself.
Well, at least I didn't get anyone killed.
The son you gave birth to, and the son you raised...
Get out. I can't stand the sight of you.
Hello!
Sonji, you're here?
Sonji, can I have a word with you?
The upper-management decided not to hire another employee.
You want me to quit, then?
Yes.
Are you quitting, Sonji?
I have no say in this.
I understand.
You worked so hard and we really liked you.
I was hoping we could work with you longer.
I understand.
Junso, the Teacher is here.
Oh, what's with the flowers?
I bought them on my way here from a flower truck.
Junso.
Junso. Junso.
I have to go to a market.
Will you babysit him for a while?
No.
Let's go together.
We can go to the groceries together and get something yummy to eat.
Isn't that right, Junso?
Sit down. Sit.
You look better than yesterday.
Words can't describe how you looked yesterday.
Give me some brunch. Anything.
Yes, ma'am.
If you didn't eat, go ahead and order.
No, thanks.
Milk tea please.
Okay.
So...
Did you talk to him?
Yes.
You must have talked to him right after.
Yes.
To tell you the conclusion,
he's set on living alone for the rest of his life.
But he said he'd introduce your daughter to a much better person than himself.
Who?
I didn't ask, but I guess he knows someone.
What do you want to eat?
Since it's spring, should we get some salad?
Which one looks fresher?
This one.
Let's go that way.
What are you planning on doing now?
If you want to work at my company, just say so.
I want to learn how to work at the gallery.
Oh. That sounds like a good idea.
About that...
You should meet Misol often.
Just think of it as fate.
They say 'all's well that ends well.'
Okay.
Don't just say 'Okay.'
I really mean it when I say this.
Misol is only a year younger than you,
She has no older or younger sister.
Only two older brothers who only care for their wives.
I feel so bad for my poor daughter.
She has friends.
All of her friends are similar to her.
They're all so overprotected.
I'm not saying that you, Yaya...
I can call you by your name, right?
Of course.
I don't mean that you weren't protected by your family.
I just mean that my daughter is too weak.
When I see you, I feel an alive and uplifting spirit.
I mean that as a compliment.
I want Misol to think of you as her older sister and learn a lot from you.
You need to show your expressions.
If you act without feelings, it's horrible acting.
Just terrible.
Okay.
Let's do it again.
Okay.
Let's go to the gym after lunch.
Do you have to eat protein?
I can't go to restaurants that I went with Nadan to.
Me, neither.
I know it's of no use, but I keep on regretting things.
I should've told him that we should go to the hospital on our way to the airport.
I know...
If we did that, he might still be alive today,
but Mother and Father would've been upset with us.
If only Mother's appendix didn't burst...
I know.
Everything is upsetting and I'm full of regrets.
Me, too.
If only Mother called us...
To come by the next day since we would be tired...
If she did that, we wouldn't have gone.
Parents think about their children's struggles rather than their own...
Didn't Nadan and Mother have a good relationship?
He did, but they quarreled over marrying you.
Well, it was nothing serious...
I just wish he were still alive.
Who cares about everything else?
I know.
The elders were like your rice, the brothers were like your side dishes.
And I'm like your dessert, you said, right?
Don't girls like dessert the most?
That's true.
If I don't eat dessert, I feel like I'm going to die.
Sonji! Are you in here?
Yes.
Hey, is that true?
That you're marrying Muom Jang?
Yes.
Oh, wow!
But how? Did you know him before?
If you concentrate on defining your shoulders and arms,
you'll look much better.
I'll teach you to exercise focusing on your shoulders and arms.
Okay.
Follow my moves.
Lift your one leg across like this,
Stretch back your two arms.
Now, fold your arms and put that tension on your arms.
Let's stretch the back muscles again.
Fold your arms to the front again.
Stretch them back and bend down.
Put tension to the back of your arm muscles.
It was you that spread the word, wasn't it?
What?
About me marrying Sonji.
Are you marrying her?
Cut the act.
Cut what act? You never told me anything.
But is it for real?
Then, how did word get out?
Wow. Now I'm upset. Keeping it a secret from me.
Well, I just told you.
It's was tough, wasn't it?
A little.
You'll sleep well tonight.
When you work out, you don't think about unnecessary things.
Hello, Chief?
What? What happened?
What are you talking about?
Even the articles were released.
What will that make me?
Oh, my gosh! I can't believe this.
All right.
Bye.
What happened?
The main character changed to Yoon Soohee.
You look familiar.
You came by before?
Yes.
Last autumn.
You told me her fortune last year.
Her fortune wasn't bad, was it?
No.
Let's do it again. With the wedding date too.
What's your birth date?
Give me the date for the wedding too, please.
Her face is full of luck.
Just filled with luck...
What about me?
Since you're marrying me, you'll be lucky, too.
Is she right?
Things will only get better after marrying her.
It'll be an open road for you two.
This is just so embarrassing! What do I do?
You should give up on acting.
I don't think this is the right path for you.
How can I quit now?
Well, it's not like you really made your name as an actress.
You only had one appearance on 'Green Grapes,' and two TV commercials.
Quit acting and learn to work at an art gallery.
You have me.
If you support Mother for just one year,
I'm sure you can manage it easily.
80% of the clients there are high class.
You have the looks and the education.
If you take over the art gallery, you'll be famous
and you'll find somebody who'll satisfy your every requirements.
Tell your parents.
But mom wouldn't like that, no?
She's still too young to retire...
Well, you're the one who should really be working hard.
She's worked long enough.
Besides, it's not like she started the gallery herself.
She only took it over because your aunt passed away.
She should retire now and go on trips with her friends.
Wait.
What day is it today?
You should hurry up with the wedding.
Why?
This Saturday is the only day you can get married.
There's no other good date.
What?
