Grandpa, Mother.
Yes.
We’ll move into Mother’s house.
To Yoonhee’s house?
Kihoon!
Yoonhee.
I think she’s physically exhausted with so many family members.
It was always like this.
Live at Yoonhee’s house…
I’m sure Yoonhee persuaded him.
Pathetic fool.
They say a man should avoid living at a wife’s house if he doesn’t starve.
Goodness, a live-in son-in-law.
Let’s talk outside, Kihoon.
Kihoon, you have to hear our opinion too.
He’s probably done discussing with Ms. In-law.
I’m sorry. I’ll go talk to Mom now.
Yoonhee, tell me.
What’s so hard on you?
You were doing fine even when we pushed you to go.
It’s physically exhausting since I’m emotionally drained.
I want to do well but I can’t control myself.
Don’t cry.
Heemang might become a crybaby.
She can’t even take a nap.
Kihoon, stay outside.
Mom.
Now.
Okay.
Yoonhee.
You don’t have to do anything. I’ll do it.
How could I, Mother?
I could see that you’re like me 30 years ago when I got married.
I know how strange this place must feel.
The in-law’s place is like a lonely battleground for a daughter-in-law.
Mother.
I called my mom whenever I got a chance.
She’d kindly call my name when I’d say, “Mom.”
She always kept me on my feet with her kind voice.
I wanted to be a real mom to you.
I couldn’t be like a daughter to you.
You’re always struggling because of me.
Yes, I am.
But a lot of it has to do with men in this house.
Always Father, Dalsoo and Kihoon trouble me.
I’ll feel guilt ridden if I send you off like this.
Don’t be. It’s not your fault.
It’s my fault if you leave when you have Kihoon besides you.
I keep stirring things up after Kihoon came back.
I’m upset you two are adding troubles on top of Ms. Geumshil.
Please give me a break.
I’ll have you move out when it’s time.
But not yet.
Ladies.
Yoonhee.
I wanted to ask you a favor. Could I?
Yes, Grandma.
I feel awkward that you decide to move out right after I moved in.
Like I’ve provided the cause.
Partially…true.
I’m embarrassed if you say like that… you know.
Don’t think that way.
Consider it more carefully.
You’re the eldest.
Your mother must be disappointed.
And your grandpa too.
If a guy moves into his wife’s house, his family look a bit foolish.
As if we labored you around.
That’s why being an eldest daughter-in-law is difficult.
With a lot of responsibilities.
I understand.
We’ll reconsider. I’m sorry.
I’m hungry, Mom.
Hold on, Soojeong.
What’s this rough vibe I’m getting?
Oh, because of him.
What about him?
He totally pissed off Miran again.
By saying he’ll move into Yoonhee’s house.
Dork, how long has it been since Grandpa brought a woman?
Let your mom breathe.
Kihoon, you cannot move into Yoonhee’s house.
He’s become a servant at that house.
He cooks, cleans and even does laundry.
Good for Hyunsook.
There are many families that live with their son-in-law.
I’m fine with it.
You picked a wrong time to say that.
Every one of us is taking a turn in giving her troubles.
I thought you all will celebrate my contest award today.
Congrats, Dalja.
Hey!
He’s hopeless.
I didn’t want to say it but Father, Dalsoo and Kihoon…
They are exactly alike.
Running into troubles mindlessly and cleaning up the mess afterwards.
You’re totally hopeless.
What do we do about this dork?
Jingyu...
I was nuts. Why did I expect romance at my age?
He must like her to hug like that.
I’m sure they like each other.
Is it Yoonhee and Kihoon?
Hyunsook.
What brought you here? Get out.
You totally misunderstood.
Bull. Get out.
I was wrong.
Get out!
Hyunsook. I was wrong!
Forgive me just once!
Let me say this please.
We should’ve first sought your advice before bringing up the issue.
I’m sorry.
You should’ve been thoughtful about it.
I’ve convinced her to stay.
Everyone, Yoonhee was very obedient to me.
As her belly grows, we’ll send them if it’s too difficult.
We never discuss anything prior but draw a conclusion first and then argue.
It’s a waste of energy. Let’s discuss in advance next time.
We’ll have Mother’s welcoming party tomorrow evening.
We’re sorry for the delay.
Thank you.
I’m called to a Board meeting in Hong Kong.
You have to go to Hong Kong?
Yes, it’s work.
I was relieved from work thanks to you and Grandmother.
But I’m all tense again.
You’ll take James, right?
That’s of course. How could I leave him?
I know.
I know you’re worried about your grandma.
But it’s important to me.
I must go with James.
Okay.
It’s fun to read a book with you.
I like you reading it to me.
It is?
The whole house is brightened up with you dressed up like that.
How long do I have to do this?
About five minutes?
Five’s up.
You’re so hasty.
We’ll formally introduce ourselves as a couple.
So we need to look our best.
Do I look good?
Yes, very handsome.
The best husband a woman can have.
I should’ve at least brought a new comforter set.
It’s a formal marriage after all.
We have lots of blankets.
I have to get a head start in this family.
They call you a mother now.
Dongpal…
Remember what you promised?
Miran will bring them, right?
Sure she will.
- Dongpal. - Yes.
You must make sure of it.
You have to tell them, okay?
Okay.
Promise?
Okay.
I feel the surge of power from night exercising.
Why are you exercising for?
I’m worried about Hejin.
What for?
She’ll go back to school and get a job.
I’m happy that she’s on track again.
How could we make her graduate a college when she hates to study?
She just needs to do it. No worries.
She was ambitious when she wanted to be a singer.
Now that Gyungshik has a fiancee. It’s over.
We were wrong to have thought of marrying off a 20 year old.
I think Hejin’s really talented.
A project for Hejin. I must develop it.
You wait for me.
Minji.
Why are you out here, Dad?
Father.
You don’t have to bring her home every day.
It’s dangerous for a lady to walk alone at night.
Thanks. Go on now.
Good night.
Minji.
Yes, Dad.
I don’t want him to bring you home.
He keeps insisting though.
But you wouldn’t have said yes if you didn’t like him.
No more, okay?
I get it, Dad.
Let’s go in.
Why isn’t Kihoon calling?
I’m sure he asked them already.
Maybe Miran’s not letting him.
I’m not so easy, Jingyu.
It’s a day off for Yoonhee.
Both are not picking up.
Why don’t they know I’m waiting?
So frustrating.
Why so many?
Your family eats all these?
It seems like a waste since I don’t like eating that much.
Shorten it to half.
This is the basic for us.
We need to prepare what Father likes.
Change it.
Should I?
I think Dongpal will listen to ME.
No, he’ll never change.
He must.
Such Oh Hitler.
You go along with him. So it’s your fault too.
Mother.
I should teach him a lesson.
Don’t.
I hate creating havoc.
He has a picky taste.
I’m sure he’s expecting a feast.
Only thing he eats out of the fridge is kimchi.
No way.
He only likes hot food.
He never eats same soup twice.
Don’t ever forget Joseon soy sauce.
What’s wrong with him?
So picky.
How do you please him so well?
If you live with him old enough.
Why don’t you ask what I like?
You’re a vegetarian.
You’re right. Then do what I tell you this time.
And write here things he doesn’t like.
There must be too many.
Just whatever you can think of.
It’ll take time to adjust.
I want to get along with you.
A family should be peaceful.
Just trust and follow me.
I’m going to a cafe later.
I’ll tell him not to be picky with food.
Is anyone home?
Yoonhee?
Kihoon?
Hyunsook.
Somehow I couldn’t call you. Nobody answered.
Father isn’t home? It’s quiet.
No, he’s not.
I’m glad you’re here.
What’s up?
Don’t you have something to tell me?
Why do you feign ignorance?
Let’s talk inside.
Didn’t the kids tell you?
Are you talking about moving into your house?
You should’ve told me in advance.
Are you happy to have brought havoc to our family?
Our house was all topsy-turvy.
For what? You should’ve sent them to me right away.
How could we?
How could they live in this jungle?
Just thinking about it gives me the headache.
Some people lived here for 30 years.
It’s normal.
Then you go on. Who’d want to live in this hell?
You just take it as your fate.
But what if your daughter lived like this? You would’ve been worse.
Hell? Are you done?
Your place is hell.
Do you even know how to cook?
You can’t have them live in comfort!
Mind you!
How could you say that seeing Yoonhee’s face?
She looks like she’s starved or something!
It’s all your fault!
Hyunsook!
Excuse me.
This isn’t…
It’s not my daughter-in-law’s fault.
A lot has to do with your sensitive daughter.
I have an appointment.
I need to go.
It’s true you provoked them.
Yes, I did. You call this a house?
Yoonhee’s working at the hospital and here too.
I’ll take her.
No. Not yet. I’ll send her if I do send her.
Miran!
Hyunsook!
You stopped Kihoon from going to Saudi to use him as your housekeeper, right?
Why bother to live in that desert when Yoonhee will earn money for him?
Why do only women have to keep the house?
Whoever’s good at it should do it.
It’s 21st century for Pete’s sake.
You have to be reasonable.
You can’t get out of that old fashioned mindset.
You ruined my son’s life.
It’s more labor to live at your house.
You can’t have your daughter make my son a housekeeper!
I’m going to take them.
No!
I will!
No!
Goodness!
So greedy!
Hi, Father.
I heard you’ll open a cafe when you get the award money.
You’ll be busy then.
I’ll help you.
She’s aggressive.
I’m thankful.
I can’t even ask Miran for help since Kihoon’s causing a trouble.
I’m sure she feels miserable.
I’ll help you. And babysit Soojeong too.
You’ll hire a part-timer anyway.
You can hire me.
I see.
Get me some cold drink, Dalja.
Okay.
What if Kihoon asks to move out again?
No choice then.
His mother-in-law is at our house now.
She’s all up there.
Like she’ll take them right away.
Yoonhee’s a lot like her mom.
A big fight again.
Probably they’re into Round 2 by now.
Let’s go, Mom.
I’m not done yet.
Fine, let’s put an end to it.
Mom.
You stay out of this!
Your mother-in-law here is so unreasonable!
They said they’re not moving in.
Is it true, Kihoon?
You decided not to?
No. We said we’ll think about it.
What for? You must come.
You’ll come, right?
Just think about Yoonhee and Heemang.
Why stay in this jungle?
Talk later, Mom.
There’s no later!
Decide now, Kihoon!
I will move in.
What?
Miran, Miran… Why…
How dare you slap my son-in-law!
Mother.
Yes, yes.
Hey, what did you tell us yesterday?
If you follow her, you’ll never see me again!
How scary. What a threat.
Let’s talk later, Mom.
Grandpa will be here any minute.
No, no. You can’t go!
Come here!
Why did you slap my son-in-law?
Did I raise you like this?
Why are you so greedy?
You can’t do this to me!
You’ve lived with him until now. Give him to me!
Why would you take our eldest son!
Miran! I’ll bring him back later!
Move aside!
I’ll finish him off today.
Stop. He’s my son-in-law.
You’re indeed an idiot, jerk!
You call your own son an idiot?
He’s not an idiot!
Don’t be rude.
So tiring.
Welcome.
Please go that way.
Welcome, that way.
Father.
Jisuk.
What are you doing here?
Let me talk to you for a minute.
I only have 10 minutes.
Yes, Father.
There’s employment training program for retired at our company.
Jisuk.
I’ve looked through to find a suitable job for you.
Please consider it before saying no.
All right.
Thank you, Father.
I’m sure you’re mad at me.
But please reconsider for Grandfather and Mother’s sake.
You and Mom drive me crazy.
Don’t cry.
You’re making our baby a crybaby.
Don’t drag me into troubles. Don’t make me cry!
We should’ve gone to Mother’s house right away.
What about me?
You have to consider my position too.
Ah… Tense again.
Are you okay?
Nuts. What do we do?
Calling my mom again?
Yea.
If you do, she’ll run here and try to take us.
Why are you so thoughtless?
We’ll go then.
I’m going to the market.
Should I join you?
I’ll go. You get some rest.
I should find out where the market is too.
Stay with me. It’s troublesome.
That sounds weird.
What about Mom then? It’s troublesome to Mom too.
Stop, Minji. Let’s go.
Where are you going, Miran?
The dresser will get here any minute.
Whoever will use it can help it inside.
Is Miran mad?
There was a big fight with Yoonhee’s mom.
I stayed out of it to avoid a bigger fight.
Why would you get involved in a muddy fight?
Moving out isn’t settled then.
Ms. In-law will come every day now.
You think?
Then should I change my mind?
It was a misunderstanding.
Whatever! Get out!
I was wrong, Hyunsook.
Get out!
Like I’m some teenager in love.
How could I mend this situation?
Women are so tiring.
So upset.
Miran and Jingyu both are pissing me off.
Wait… Should I go fight again?
It must be Jingyu.
You think I’d meet you?
You don’t eat when you’re mad.
Eat sweet cake and feel better.
Jingyu.
You sure know my taste.
But I won’t be so easy.
Is it your first time making dumplings?
Yes, it’s fun.
Yours will taste the best.
It tastes the best when the family makes them together.
Yes, yours taste the best.
They say you’ll have a pretty baby if you’re good at making these.
You’re good too, Hayoung.
Is that why you had such a cute James?
Thank you.
Finally done with Grandma’s.
What about mine?
Huh? I’ll make it for you.
Here.
Dad!
So nice to have you when this house felt so lonely.
You make me smile.
Mom, I need to go pee.
Okay.
Grandma.
Hayoung has to go to Hong Kong for a Board meeting.
Are you saying…she’ll take James?
Yes.
No.
Grandma.
Tell her to leave James.
You know she can’t do without James.
Grandma.
She really took good care of you when you were sick.
I know that.
So think of it as her vacation.
What if she doesn’t come back?
That’ll never happen.
You know she always keeps her words.
How could I live without James?
I’ll then consider you agreed.
Thank you, Grandma.
Let’s get some rest.
Are you tired?
Yes, I was busy.
You look happy shopping together with Minji.
We decided to do it at home instead of here.
I made most of them.
Good. You’re doing it out of obligation.
I think she does like Father.
She’s so naive.
I don’t think so.
How is she? I want to see her.
The perfect mother-in-law would be you, Malsoon.
I don’t want to get remarried.
I’d hate washing old man’s undies.
I love my freedom.
I have to wash a new mother’s undies.
Don’t do it.
Never.
She’ll wash it if you refuse.
I don’t anymore.
This is our gift to you, Mother.
Thank you.
I’ll never forget your kindness.
Watch yourself in mirror every day and stay beautiful.
You two are so kind.
You’re so thoughtful.
Not at all, Mother.
You should’ve bought a more expensive one. A fancy one.
It is expensive, Father.
This is in trend. It’s in.
There’s a price tag here.
Why is it here? It’s a wrong tag?
Why is it in here?
Give it.
No, it’s a wrong tag. It’s a different one.
Did you see the price?
Is it expensive?
Give it.
No, I’m telling you it’s a wrong one.
Why are you hiding it?
Don’t, Dongpal.
It’s always good whenever I eat this.
Your cooking skill is the best.
Eat a lot, James.
It’s a lot better than what we made last holiday.
Yes, right.
We always made these on New Year’s.
You ate a lot too.
It’s so yum, Grandma. Please make them often.
Hayoung.
One week is too long.
How about just going there for three days?
It’s not just me on the schedules.
I see.
Promise me that you’ll be back very soon.
Okay. I’ll try.
Thank you, Grandma.
What for…
Got the money envelope?
Yes. And we decided to gift that dresser on top.
What’s with you?
I thought you were going to deduct it from your due.
It’s the least we can do.
Thanks, bro.
It’s nothing.
Here, Miran.
Envelope.
I did my best too, Miran.
Thanks, Dalja.
Why do I have to pay the same sum with Dalgoo though?
True.
Give back $1,000 to Dalja.
Dalja really gave $1,000?
Really?
Yes. Why take it away though?
I paid $5,000 just because I’m the eldest.
Pay $500 more, Jeongsook.
We bought the dresser.
No, I’ll pay it.
Give me some discount next time.
Good job, everyone.
Let’s take good care of her since we’ve decided to accept her.
Call her ‘Mother’, okay?
You tell them about the house.
Don’t forget to bless them.
No, you do it.
Why not? You’re the eldest.
I’m worried. He’ll probably say take the whole house.
True.
That’s why you should tell her, Miran.
You bring it up first. I’ll help.
Yes. You have to draw a conclusion.
Perfect.
Good luck, Miran.
What’s with this meal?
I’ve asked Miran. To prepare foods of my taste.
But still.
They look like they lack effort.
No kalbi either.
No sushi.
What happened, Miran?
Father, she made what Mother wanted.
Since when did she listen to her?
Father, veggies are good for you. Let’s eat.
It’s a feast.
What’s wrong? I forgot to mention earlier.
Be quiet. She’s ignoring me. You too, Geumshil.
Father, when have I ignored you?
But Miran. These are indeed a bit lacking.
You didn’t prepare all the menus I’ve asked.
- Look! - What?
