You said Ms. Geumshil…
…is a perfect mother-in-law, right?
Yes.
Then I’d like to hear every reason for it.
I said I’d be fine with any lady you’re be happy with.
I’m happy with Geumshil.
No, it’s different this time.
You said I’d really like her.
Dongpal.
Did you really say that?
I did.
Why did you say that?
That means I can oppose her if I don’t like her.
It’s…
Look…
He said all the family members agreed.
Right, Dongpal?
I said that because I didn’t want you to suffer.
You declared that you’d get remarried not to give us hard times.
Right, everyone?
Sure, sure.
She’s not wrong there.
First, support Father in everything.
Serve him meals, water, coffee and even the laundry.
Dongpal, you never mentioned this.
Miran.
Yes. Do you have something to say?
Well…
Oh, one more thing.
You have clean his room too.
Secondly, the eldest son and daughter-in-law are older than you.
Thus, please respect them.
I never said I disrespect you…two.
Look at this room.
You didn’t even clean the meal tray.
It means you don’t respect me. You regard me as your maid.
Yes. Who’d sleep with the dirty leftover food in the room?
I didn’t even do that when I hate housekeeping.
Dalja.
Since you decided to move in here with almost 80-year old Father…
…you must’ve had some thoughts.
Probably the family register and the house.
I don’t want to bring it up myself.
In a conclusion…
I’m asking you to take responsibility for moving in here without a plan.
What responsibility?
You think I just forced myself in here.
But I thought it was all agreed.
Right, Dongpal?
Yes.
You’ve just met our father. You have to prove yourself if to become our mother.
Your acting like this is…awful.
Miran. This isn’t right.
I’m telling her to care for you.
If she wants to live with you, she should care for you.
She does care for me a lot.
Then clean his tray first, Ms. Geumshil.
Thank you, Dalsoo.
Not at all.
He lied about not having to do any housework here.
I’ll move back a step to move forward two steps.
Mother.
You scared me!
Jeongsook.
I’ll do it. Leave it.
Will you?
Jeongsook!
Yes, Miran.
Are you ignoring what I just said?
Prepare breakfast with us from tomorrow.
I’ll do dishes since I have nothing to do.
I get it.
Jeongsook came out to do dishes for her already.
Why do you think I said those?
Why did you do that when I barely got a handle on her?
I’m sorry.
I knew it when she called her a mother.
You should just live with them instead.
I don’t want to.
Why are you blowing my top when I’m the one that has to live with her?
You.
You never once carried the meal tray for me but you helped her right away.
She was attacked.
Who?
Got attacked?
How can you say that when you saw that messy room?
Let me at least breathe in this house.
Dlasoo takes the tray for her and Jeongsook even offers to do dishes.
She’s like a queen on the throne.
I’m sorry.
Come on.
Offer to do dishes in this situation? How could you?
Why don’t you grasp the situation for a change?
I’ll teach her so don’t worry and just push ahead with it.
To the victory.
Good morning, Jingyu.
I keep thinking about you as soon as I wake up.
Should I feed him breakfast every morning?
Thanks. You should eat too.
Okay, Dongpal.
Enjoy.
Yes.
-You too. -Thank you.
Come and eat, honey. Why are you still working?
Putting water cup is no labor.
It is. Come and eat, Yoonhee.
Get your own water from now on.
-Yes. -Yes.
Everyone put finished plates in the sink after done.
Right. Soup bowls and utensils.
That helps save time.
Okay.
What about you, Dad?
No. Just the water cup.
She only does things for Grandpa.
She’s being clever.
She never washes other empty cups.
Only washes Grandpa’s cup.
Grandmother, you and me.
We all need just James.
Hayoung, that’s not true.
I’m just a guest as a James’s mom.
I also need you for James.
That’s the reason I stay at your grandmother’s house.
I’m going to change my grandmother.
I can’t hurt her since she raised me until now.
Please be patient.
What about the woman in your heart?
You act as though you have forgotten about her.
But I know how you miss her.
I just have her in my heart.
You know that.
It feels great.
You like it that much?
You don’t do anything I ask you.
I’ll do them one by one.
When are you going to bring up the family register and the house?
Little later. The situation isn’t that good.
Did you discuss at all about the house with your kids?
Since your eldest son lives with you, it must become his.
No, I should give it to whoever that takes good care of me.
The whole thing to that person?
Yes. It depends.
Dongpal.
Depends on what?
Someone that doesn’t put me in a nursing home when I get sick.
Dongpal.
Most children these days put sick parents in a nursing home.
I’d hate that.
I’m gonna die in my own house.
What kid would care for their sick parents these days?
You can do that.
Huh?
Well, Miran can do it.
Miran is the only person who’d do that.
Usually the wife gets half and the children get half of the wealth.
You won’t give any if they don’t care for you?
I don’t know.
I’m going to give this house to whoever takes good care of me.
You should never get sick then.
You would’ve earned a doctoral degree if you studied like that.
Mom.
Yoonhee needs to breastfeed Heemang.
But I heard mastitis hurts a lot.
Talking about mastitis in front of me?
What, I can’t?
Are you already studying how to care for your baby?
Yes.
Why don’t you find a job instead of studying that thing?
You have to do something. You can’t bum around like this.
Your mother-in-law will ignore you if you bum around.
Yoonhee told me to take a break.
Mother also told me to raise our baby after taking some break.
Hey!
How could you be so mindless when you’re the eldest son?
You only talk about Yoonhee and her mother.
You truly are an idiot.
Mom, I’m a daddy now.
That’s why you should earn money for your baby.
Babysit when you can’t get any job.
Applying and doing job interviews are stressful.
Yes, Mother.
Dinner?
How about bulgogi over rice?
Yes, I’ll make it deliciously.
Okay.
Crazy.
You’re going over to Hyunsook’s to make her bulgogi dinner?
Yes. I’ll go over with Yoonhee.
Just go live there!
Shall I?
It’s a hassle to go back and forth. I’ll get going.
That pathetic fool!
I put him through the college to see him cooking for his in-law.
Gosh…
It’s here.
I really wanted to come here.
So did I.
I wonder if all these lovers got married.
I longed to come and lock this when I get a girlfriend.
There’s one in Seine.
I should do it in my own country if I want to see my children’s grandchildren.
You think so?
Don’t you want to write a story together and lock it in here?
Sunwoo.
That’s what lovers do.
I know it’s one-sided love.
You treat me with mother’s compassion.
I know that you’re just a guardian of my heart.
Yes, I do pity you.
I want to take care of you.
But I’m upset that it’s giving you a wrong idea.
Too complicated in Korea. We mind others too much.
That’s why I want to go back to Paris.
You need someone to take care of you.
Then lock this as my guardian.
Okay.
Like this.
The way you cook
You take after Miran exactly.
Why are there four bowls?
Uncle will be here too.
He will?
Jingyu?
He never mentioned he’s coming here.
Wait, wait.
What could I help you with?
Jingyu hates lazy people.
What a nice smell.
Delicious smell is rocking this place.
Welcome.
Mother made this bulgogi over rice.
Huh?
Sure…
Really? Let me taste her food.
She’s really good cook if she does cook.
Hey.
Chief. I mean, sir.
What is it?
I wished her to remain single forever when my dad passed away.
I thought love should last forever even if the other half dies.
That’s true.
But I’ve wished my mom to fall in love when I fell in love with Kihoon.
You’re most compatible with my mom.
Yoonhee.
Sir.
Please seriously consider dating my mom.
Not as a friend but as a lover.
Yoonhee.
You two look good together.
I know you might be surprised but please give it a thought.
It looks delicious.
Let’s eat.
Eat.
Dongpal. Say ah.
Ah.
Delicious.
Chew it well since it’s a chestnut.
Soojeong. Ah.
Ah.
Yum.
Chew it well since it’s a chestnut.
Honey, ah.
I guess all your children are humorous.
Especially Dalsoo is so funny.
Funny guys are popular these days.
You’re popular, aren’t you?
Yes, especially women.
You’re so charming taking after your father.
Thank you.
Actually, Dalgoo is funnier.
I guess you miss me seeing you mention my name.
What a happy sight.
You must be tired. Why didn’t you go home?
You were too curious, weren’t you?
Come and have fruits.
Welcome.
Come have fruits.
I’ll tell you a funny story.
It happened right after I had Hejin. A true story.
He’s got lots of funny stories.
Here it goes.
I was dead drunk from a drink with a client when Hejin was an infant.
It was around 5 a.m.
I sneaked inside my house.
I couldn’t’ stand still since I was so drunk.
I sat on the floor to untie my shoes to get inside.
When I was about to untie it…
You have to tell it realistically like this.
When I was untying my shoe laces, she saw me.
She said, “Honey, are you going to work already?”
So I had to tie my shoes again.
I said, “You got up already?”
“I’m going to work. I’ll be back.”
Then I went back outside.
Remember that day?
Gee, like that’s something to brag about.
It’s a true story.
I could imagine.
I barely escaped her wrath.
Imaginable. Since Jongsook is really naive.
I really didn’t know.
You just found out, right?
You like exactly same things as your dad.
Yes, Daddy said that too.
Who did you live with in Hong Kong?
With Mom and Auntie Grandma.
Any other people?
Who?
Like some man.
There wasn’t any man?
No.
It’d be so embarrassing if Jingyu says no.
Yoonhee should’ve told me in advance.
That brat.
So frustrating.
I should work hard for my baby’s sake.
Hi.
Hi, Mr. In-law.
I’d like to preorder this cake.
You don’t want to take it now?
No, please take it to Miran when you go home.
Tell her not to get stressed out and to cheer up with this cake.
So kind. You’re such a gentleman.
Things must be hard for Miran these days.
Please take good care of her.
Yes, don’t worry.
This one was good.
Would you like some drink?
Should I?
Then some cold drink.
Okay, please have a seat.
Hyunsook.
Jingyu.
Jingyu, Jingyu!
Hey.
You’re worried about something, aren’t you?
Nah.
Don’t feel burdened by what Yoonhee said.
She made our relationship awkward by bringing that up.
How could we ever become serious?
Actually…
I have to confess something but I didn’t have courage.
Confess? Is there something I don’t know?
Yes.
Please wait until I can confess it to you.
Not sure when that‘ll be though.
Okay.
Good.
Sunwoo.
Why?
You scared me. Why answer so late?
You only get interested in me when I get sick.
Should I stay sick?
Why do you say that? Don’t get sick.
My heart aches these days.
I know you’re stressed out at home.
Sorry about that.
I don’t think your grandma is really sick.
I think she’s just faking it.
What do you mean?
She’s really weak without James.
It’s obvious at her age.
She was energetic until recently.
I think it’s almost like a lovesick.
Yes, Aunt.
Did what?
Okay.
All right, Aunt. I’ll come home soon.
What did she say?
Grandma took James to the playground.
I guess she helped him with the swing and the slide.
I see.
Good.
She said James was happy about it.
That boy.
It’s true that she only pretends to be sick in front of me.
Let’s solve our problems one by one.
Hi.
We’ve just opened our restaurant.
Hi.
We’re a new restaurant.
We just opened. Food taste great.
Hi.
HI.
Should we throw these away in the trash can?
No.
Imagine you’re the restaurant owner.
He made these expensive flyers and even paid us for our work.
I’m sorry.
Hey, go buy the thickest fruit juice from that cafe.
Dalsoo.
We need to do something before we spend all your $20k.
Let’s just drink the juice.
Money is no use if we lose our health.
Okay. I’ll be back.
Okay.
James.
Did you have a good day?
I missed you, Mommy.
I even went to the playground with Grandma.
Good, James.
You must be tired.
You don’t have to say that.
Let’s go upstairs.
She’s raised him well.
That a boy.
What’s wrong, Mom?
Because you’re so adorable.
I love you, James.
I love you too, Mommy.
In any case, Miran totally hit a strike with Ms. Geumshil this time.
We must go to Father’s house every day for a while.
It’s tiring.
How could we go there every day after work?
What’s to worry when we have Hejin and Gyungshik?
True, they’re doing great.
We must check what’s going on at Father’s house every day.
Okay.
Father’s snack.
Here.
It’s $2 happiness.
Puffed rice.
Puffed rice!
Calling me puffed rice? I’m mad.
Sorry.
Puffed rice!
Mom!
Soojeong, did you have fun today?
I did.
You did?
Let’s eat cake together.
What were you watching?
What did you buy?
Dr. Cha bought it for you.
Because you’re getting stressed out by Ms. Geumshil.
He didn’t have to.
Let’s eat.
It’s so soft.
It’s delicious.
It’s yum.
It’s so yum.
Look delicious.
I’m so stressed out too. I should eat too.
Mmm.
Sweet and crunchy. So good.
I guess your brother is really kind.
Yes. He’s the chief of a dental hospital where Yoonhee works at.
That’s great.
Can I go there too?
Yes, you can.
Dental treatments are so expensive these days.
He’ll give you 50% discount.
I have to pay?
Doesn’t he give a free service to in-laws?
You’re not his in-law.
But he’s your brother.
Yes.
It’s awkward to tell him about you yet.
Why don’t you approve of me yet?
I serve Dongpal with three meals and I even do dishes.
You only do his. And it’s just been a few days.
There are tons of dentists out there. So cheap and nasty.
Cheap and nasty? Watch your mouth.
Then go to one of those dentists.
Why is it so noisy again?
Dongpal.
There’s a problem I can never solve.
A trouble between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
I should empty my heart since I’m the elder.
It’s awkward to hear you say that.
Miran, be nice to her.
Dongpal.
Get up, Kihoon. It’s really noisy out there.
Just 10 more minutes.
What’s wrong with me?
My stomach feels tense too.
Kihoon.
Let’s talk later.
She must feel awkward in this strange place.
Father, Miran’s doing her best.
You should give in a bit to your new mother.
Wait, are you eating something delicious?
I sure have luck with food.
Me too.
What’s this?
What’s this cold vibe I’m getting?
What’s wrong, Yoonhee!
Why do you grab your belly?
My belly hurts, Mother.
