[Episode 90]
Hello.
You have a beautiful home.
Welcome.
Honey!
Come on in.
Hello.
This is how we live.
It's such a luxurious house.
I made some rice punch for you.
Oh, this is so hard to make!
The food is catered.
You prepared so much food!
I hope it's to your taste.
Of course, it is..
When's the trousseau coming in?
The day after tomorrow.
Things must be crazy.
Yes. I'm going out of my mind.
You're a little sad to let your daughter go, aren't you?
I couldn't sleep last night.
But I trust that she'll do well. Isn't that right?
Yeah.
Are you getting a diamond ring?
Yes.
How many carats?
3 carats.
Jia, I'm sure you'll get something even better.
Quality is what matters, not size.
That's true.
Is it G color?
No, E. VVS1.
There's a difference, coming from a rich household.
Wouldn't you be scared to wear that around?
Everybody wears them.
I've never seen one.
Go to upscale department stores.
You'll see many girls wearing diamond rings the size of peas.
Isn't that right?
Yeah.
It's really the size of a pea? 3 carat diamond?
Yeah.
I guess your wish came true.
You once said
You wanted to marry a guy who could give you a diamond ring the size of a pea.
You said that?
I may have...
Stop talking to them. Let them eat.
I really like your kimchi.
Did you make it yourself?
I have somebody that makes kimchi for me.
There's so much food, but there's nothing that I like...
Don't just eat the salad. Have some fish patties.
You won't gain weight by eating fish.
Okay.
But it's cooked with oil, so it'll be a bit fattening.
What kind of fish is this?
The taste is familiar.
I think it's cod fish.
It's sea bass.
Oh.
It's very delicious.
My daughter likes meat,
and my son likes fish.
I like meat, too.
Should I reheat the fish stew?
Oh, no. I'm almost done eating anyway.
You don't like the food, do you?
Why, of course I do!
Junso, it's mommy's birthday tomorrow.
Your auntie will bring us a cake.
Isn't that right?
The Teacher doesn't know that it's my birthday,
and it's not like I can tell him.
I like Andong rice punch the best.
It helps me with digestion, too.
How do you make it?
It's similar to any other rice punch.
Look it up online and you'll find recipes.
Even when I follow recipes, it tastes different depending on who cooks it.
That's right.
My mother would always say food is all about who cooks it.
You know, I think good food
is all about how much love is put into it.
You have to add a bit of love to all food.
Even if you're just cooking rice.
If the rice is so delicious, you don't even need any other side dishes.
That's true.
You never had just rice without other dishes, have you?
No.
Will they stop talking about food?
I have.
Really?
I had a friend who lived with her brother alone.
And I went to her house,
they had no money to buy any other food.
So we just had rice together.
She's trying to give me a guilt trip again, huh?
How can anyone be so poor?
If they don't have parents, it's possible.
You didn't have time for facial massages, huh?
Nope.
Well, you have great skin.
She takes after me.
Back when we were growing up,
your face lit up in the dark, because your skin was so pale.
Really?
You take such good care of us,
I'm very thankful.
That's why we invited you over, but I don't think you ate that much.
Oh, no.
I had such a wonderful dinner.
All the food is left almost untouched.
Well, I ate almost all of the kimchi.
I have to fit into my wedding gown, so...
Maybe we should've met outside.
It was an hassle to come all the way here.
Well, I got to see your house.
And I got to see good paintings.
I want to see your trousseau come in.
Well, come by then.
Was Sonji happy?
Yes.
Buy a fur coat and add that to the trousseau.
But the style keeps changing.
I should just buy one for her this winter.
Really?
It's better to not wear furs.
But it's so cold.
I know.
It's such a horrible thing to do to animals.
In the old days, we would just wear furs without feeling guilty.
Well, I have to say furs are warm.
It really is the warmest.
Let me have a word with you.
You just had to call the caterer?
Our maid sprained her ankle.
How was I supposed to cook all alone?
Who cares if you have lots of food that just doesn't taste good?
What do you mean, it doesn't taste good?
Didn't you see how nobody was really eating?
Dallan was only eating kimchi.
Everyone is just so spoiled.
I told you over and over. So did Yaya.
Inviting somebody means serving them with care.
You can't just pay a chef to cook...
I can't invite them with just a couple of dishes.
Why not?
My friends would get together and eat kimchi, rice and bean sprout soup.
But it was so good and more than enough.
Well, these are different people.
Stop cutting me off with a smirk?
I smirked?
Yes, you did.
Whenever I tell you to do something, you smirk and convince me that you'll do it.
But in the end, you do everything your way.
When did I have things my way?
Socrates said, 'Know thyself.'
Do you not know yourself?
All you ever care about is looking nice.
Well, I own an art gallery.
Am I supposed to look like a bum?
It's not like you ran the gallery for that long.
You just have a lot of complaints about me.
How well do you think you're doing as a housewife?
Well, I'm not a full-time housewife.
Then, become one.
Let the kids take over the art gallery.
I never asked you to go out and make money.
You just don't like house chores, do you?
All you like to do is look fancy and go out.
I can't believe what I'm hearing.
Is Dallan such a high and mighty person?
Is she some kind of VIP that I have to get down and cook for?
For four days during the funeral, she brought homemade food for us.
And that helped me and Jia survive those days.
Dallan spent many days cooking for us,
and you can't even spend a few hours of your day for her?
You're so selfish.
Oh, I am?
You just can't stand doing any kind of labor.
You act like a queen.
What are you trying to say?
When we were in the U.S., you would wake up after my mother fixed breakfast.
That only happened 2-3 times a week.
You only started waking up early after I nagged you.
Well, I ironed until late at night, did laundry,
and read books for the kids.
All the things you could've done during the day.
What's the matter with you?
Is Dallan that special to you?
You were just blabbering on and on about your memories together.
Your stories were just heartwarming.
Our son died only a few weeks ago. And yet you were giggling.
Are you just about done?
When did I ever giggle?
Who did?
I invited them because of Nadan...
Because they were with us when we had to let him go. I was grateful to her.
And that's why I invited her.
Dad...
Are you even thankful to her?
How can you act this way if you're truly thankful to her?
Dad, Yaya is listening outside...
Dallan must've been upset with us.
I mean, she did so much for us.
We give some and get some.
What's so hard about cooking?
My mother would cook so much food for my father and his guests.
Well, she had a maid to help her.
If our maid didn't get hurt, I would've...
You can't even make a couple of good dishes alone?
Dad...
Why are you throwing that out?
Everybody ate this together. Should I save this, then?
You can wash it and boil it with soybean paste.
Don't throw it out.
Who do you think you are?
This is my kitchen.
It's not right to waste food.
You're just too spoiled.
Well, you're the one throwing out food.
You can freeze them and eat them later.
Where did you learn to waste food like that?
Get out.
Your mother must've not taught you well.
What did you say?
How do you feel?
Your blood is boiling inside, isn't it?
When you said I wasn't taught well at home, that's exactly how I felt.
Just do the dishes.
Are you ordering me?
You always doze off when you get in the car.
Are you getting old, Mom?
I'm just too full.
All you had was one bowl of rice.
I had lots of fruits.
Gosh, the food was just horrible.
Who makes cold jellyfish salad these days? It's not like they're poor...
That was catered food, wasn't it?
Yeah.
She must not know how to cook.
Well, she's a working mom.
When you go to your friend's house,
do you like it when they serve you even the simplest homemade food,
or some ordered Chinese food or take out dishes?
Homemade food.
Take-out food is so impersonal.
You don't even feel grateful to them, either.
I know.
Remember how Yaya was talking about eating just rice earlier?
That's a story about herself.
I figured.
Was she that poor?
Her brother worked part-time jobs, but didn't get paid that day.
They were out of soybean paste and even soy sauce.
They had no red pepper paste, either.
So, I bought kimchi and some other side dishes for her with my allowance one day.
What a bastard...
His boss must've been a horrible jerk.
How can he not pay after making somebody work?
I'm sure they'll get punished one way or the other.
If their children went out and worked part-time jobs and didn't get paid...
There are so many unbelievable people these days.
It's because their parents didn't teach them well. Proper manners.
If you harm others, the punishment comes back to you.
Gosh, I feel so bad for Yaya.
I thought since she's marrying a rich family, she'd finally have a happier life.
I feel so bad for her.
When will she know the meaning of happiness?
You should help her work things out with Hwaom.
I can't do that.
Why not?
Who cares if she becomes your older sister-in-law?
Would you like it if you were in my shoes?
If your best friend becomes your older brother-in-law,
you would suddenly have to treat him with respect.
You're talking to me informally now?
When have I not?
When did I ever talk formally to you?
Well, you're going too far.
You can't talk to me like I'm your friend.
What's so bad about that?
Was I, Mom?
Um...right...I think so.
What's wrong with you these days, Mom?
What?
You act like you sold your soul.
Sold my soul?
Good night, little lady.
You can never be happy again.
I'm going to make you feel all the pain and suffering that dad went through.
Should we take a break?
You must be tired.
It's time for you to leave.
You said you had to leave by 6 o'clock.
You have to get changed, too.
Gosh, look at the time.
Hyogyong!
Take it easy...
Junso, what do I do?
Hyogyong...
Hyogyong!
Do you have anemia?
Yes, a little.
You have to take a rest.
Don't you have to take medicine?
It's not that bad.
It's not good to take medication for anemia due to side effects.
You could've been hurt.
Stand up slowly.
Okay.
Junso, come to me.
I called the maid today, and she said that she could come the day after tomorrow.
You do the cleaning and laundry.
I...I think I have anemia.
I had dizzy spells when I was getting up from bed.
What should I do?
Liver patties are said to be good for anemia. Make some for me.
Fresh liver is better.
No, I want liver patties.
But you like fresh ones better.
I guess my taste has changed.
I don't want to eat fresh ones.
Okay.
I'll make you some ox blood soup. That works better than anything else.
I want liver patties, Mom.
Okay.
The things I go through to get liver patties for Hyogyong.
We reheated the food from last night, Father.
We made fish pancakes out of the leftover sushi.
Okay.
I didn't want to waste food.
Of course, that's wrong.
And I can't eat all of this food all by myself,
so please be understanding even if serve you the same food twice.
Of course.
I like eating simply.
Eating too complicatedly can be harmful to our health.
Let's eat.
Our maid will come from Friday again.
I'll be in charge of the food,
and Mother will do the cleaning.
She acts like my mother-in-law.
I'll clean my own room.
For dinner, I'll make vegetable-mixed noodle rice with the leftover noodles.
Okay.
When I lived at Mrs. Jang's house...
She really didn't waste not even a grain of rice.
If a couple of grains fell into the sink,
she would pick them up, wash and cook them.
Wow, was she that frugal?
Yes.
After finishing kimchi, she would use the leftover
sauce in the container to make noodles.
I grew up watching her be so frugal...
I just can't waste any food however small it is.
Yes, that's good.
Rich people can be cheapskates.
It's not being a cheapskate.
They just know how important food is.
They always said, we live thanks to food,
and some people go starving.
And that we must never waste food.
My mother would always say that, too.
Although they were so fragile,
they never stopped making donations.
Anyway, I was thinking, Father...
Yes?
When we settle Nadan's finances,
can we donate half of it to the medical center?
Although we didn't know it'd turn out like this...
He once told me he wanted to donate half of his assets to a medical center.
I heard him say that, too.
You can do that.
Do you disagree?
I agree.
It's a great idea.
You can do it on Nadan's behalf.
Okay.
I'm going to do it under his name.
Although he passed away,
He didn't live his life in vain.
Here's your vitamin.
I'm going to make liver patties. Want some?
Why would you make that? It doesn't even taste good.
Your brother wants some. He says he has dizzy spells.
You have anemia?
Again.
You?
What kind of guy has anemia?
I just do, okay?
What are your symptoms?
I have dizzy spells.
How dizzy are you?
Simple dizziness, light-headed, or the world is spinning?
Or do you feel like you're walking on a cloud?
Just...dizzy.
Maybe it's not the dizziness. Something could be wrong inside your ear.
Like your three semicircular canals...
Are you a doctor or something?
I know when I have anemia.
But no guys have anemia.
Well, I do. That's why I'm saying I do!
Why are you angry at me?
I'm not angry!
You're raising your voice, aren't you?
He is, isn't he, Mom?
Yeah, I think so.
But she's making me mad. I'm just dizzy.
Mom, have you heard of any guys complaining of dizzy spells?
No.
Go to an ENT doctor.
No liver patties will fix your problem. If you're really dizzy, that is...
Yeah.
What do I have to do to get some liver patties around here?
You simply want liver patties?
When I woke up this morning, I felt dizzy.
And I just wanted to eat some liver patties.
My body must want it because it needs it, right?
Do alcoholics drink because their bodies need more alcohol?
You stay out of this, you brat.
Mom, he's calling me a brat.
Oh, goodness. Don't call her a brat.
She's not just any girl.
In just three days,
she'll be married into the Daehae Group's family.
Goodness, I'm so busy.
I can't even think straight.
Of course.
I have to do the final touch ups on my wedding gown,
and pack for my honeymoon.
I have at least ten things I have to buy today.
Isn't there anything I can help you with?
Just make him some liver patties that he's craving so much.
My 'clam' and his secretary are doing all the work for me.
There are different kinds of clams.
Manila clams, scallops, thin-shelled surf clams,
short-necked clams, date mussels,
ark clams, cockles...
Which is it?
A pearl clam.
You were disappointed with the food last night, weren't you?
I know you don't like catered food.
Well, I can understand she's in no situation to cook.
I have something I wanted to discuss.
Do you want to run a cooking school?
Your cooking is too good to not utilize it.
You want me to teach cooking?
Yes.
After Sonji gets married, you'll have more time on your hands.
You love to cook.
I can gather at least five of my friends.
I never even thought about it.
There's an empty room at Father's hospital.
I'm sure he'll let you use that space.
It'll only take 2-3 days to reconstruct the room to be suitable for cooking.
What's your sudden interest in food?
I just want something I can focus on.
Food is a basic necessity in life.
I thought making people full and happy with food is something that I can do.
That's true.
When I saw Sonji getting married, I thought the same thing.
Maybe it's thanks to all of my cooking that Sonji gained all the good luck.
I agree with you.
You can do what you love and make money.
Although you don't need money...
Of course, I need money.
It's good to earn money.
They say you live comfortably when receiving money from you're husband,
But it's not the same as when with your son.
Even if I earn a little bit myself, it'll make me feel better.
I never made a single penny in my whole life.
That's why.
I wanted to make sure you wanted this before telling my father.
Okay.
Please teach me and Sonji your good cooking skills.
Sure.
Sonji's in-laws would like it when they see me teaching cooking professionally?
Of course.
I never thought about it, but hearing you say
this makes me really want to do it.
Hang on. Where is that sound coming from?
I think from the bathroom.
Oh, where's my head? Oh, goodness.
Sorry.
It's okay.
She just left after looking at the paintings?
She's coming back tomorrow with her daughter-in-law.
Did Dad text you?
No.
You should text him and make up with him.
Dad has the right to be angry this time.
He must've been embarrassed in front of them.
Everybody hires a chef to serve guests these days.
Not everybody.
You know what a great cook Sonji's mother is.
Food should have some kind of personal touch.
When she invited you when we were in the US, she served us with delicious food.
And she was good to us during the funeral.
Even relatives wouldn't do that for us.
I wonder why she's so good to us.
We've known her for years.
That's why Dad wanted to show her how thankful he was.
But they barely touched the food, so Dad has every right to be sorry and upset.
He must've felt like he wasted their precious time by inviting them over.
You should say you're sorry, Mom.
What did Hwaom say?
What did he want to see you about?
This will give me some chances to cook for Janghun, too!
Good job.
If Hwaom decided on this, it'll work out this time.
Just when I emptied my heart...
That's the way it is with life.
A woman who tries and tries to get pregnant may not succeed,
but once she lets go, she could suddenly become pregnant.
When you meet him and work with him everyday...
In the same building...
This is your chance...do well.
I asked Hwaom yesterday.
And he said he didn't want to get married anymore.
Why not?
He doesn't want to force himself to do it.
He'd rather live by himself.
He must be joking.
He wasn't.
He told me he had a friend he could set me up with.
Maybe he's just not a very confident person.
Don't go after him, then.
Falling in love should be natural.
As long as he's straight,
there's no way he can have no interest in women.
People will be lined up to set him up with girls.
Why would he live alone for the rest of his life?
There must be a reason he's saying that.
Don't think about going after him.
There are plenty of good guys out there,
it doesn't have to be him. There are many potential guys out there.
As long as you become the top actress, you can marry any guy in the world.
Furniture is being moved in upstairs.
No, that way please.
That way?
Hello.
When are you opening?
Next week.
A sofa makes the room look great.
Are you going to work here from now on?
Not everyday.
It says 'Jung Samhee.'
Hello?
I'm here.
If you're not too tired, let's meet up.
Where?
I'll text you the address.
It's called Gallery Jo in Chungdamdong. 5th floor.
Okay.
I'll get off here, sir.
Welcome.
Two portions of spicy rice cakes, please.
Are you going to eat here?
Yes.
Hi there.
Where's your husband?
At the bank.
You want one portion?
No, two portions.
What kind of guy eats spicy rice cakes?
And look at the amount he's eating by himself!
He should really shave!
He looks so messy.
