Sorry? Take charge of the household?
Just like I said. I want to take care of the household.
Let me manage the household.
What? You’ll manage the household? Please explain.
I’m telling you as an elder. By managing the household,
I’d know the family finance size and be recognized…
… as the woman of the house.
You’re not even interested in the household work.
It’s a hassle to get approved from one to ten things.
Not a matter of hassle. It’s wrong to demand the household management.
Overstepping Miran’s boundary.
What do you mean by managing? Explain in details.
Simply said, I’m asking for the finance right.
Not easy to ask for food money. I’ll shop groceries myself.
Give me all the monthly living expense money.
So this is about the money?
I’m trying to lift your burden.
You don’t plan on helping me. You mean to manage the family finance.
I want to start from there.
I’m claiming my right as a stepmother taking care of Dongpal.
Stepmother.
It’s right to demand money only after you’ve done household works.
It’s a matter of accepting me as the woman of this house.
Goodness. She’s doing that with Father on her back.
Everyday is a war. Poor mom.
You should’ve told me first.
If I have, would you have told her to give it up?
I would’ve thought about it.
See. My husband’s attitude isn’t any better.
They won’t give the house or put me on the family register.
At least give me the finance right. I want to spend money.
Just live with me happily.
I can’t even eat what I like. You don’t put me on family register…
So they all ignore me. I hate this.
I don’t expect anything from you. I just want to have fun managing…
…household with living expense money. Is that so much to ask?
Okay, okay. Okay.
I don’t expect anything. I want to stay by you for a long time.
I’ll tell Miran.
Really?
Yeah. You trust me, right?
Okay.
Thanks, Kihoon.
Kihoon looks good in apron.
Doesn’t he? He’s talented too.
Look at the way he peeled the fruit. Better than Miran, right?
It is. Miran doesn’t know yet, right?
She’s out of her mind because of Stepmother-in-law.
I told her that you called us out.
Okay. I’ll tell her.
Here.
Thanks, Yoonhee.
Hard to sleep on sofa. Take in some vitamin C.
Yes, hard to sleep on sofa.
My husband too. Say ah.
Delicious.
It’s good to have family laughter at home.
Good thing I slept on sofa overnight instead of going home.
I’m reminded of Mother. She’s busy in the morning.
I should be helping her.
She does it every day.
- Yoonhee always worry about Miran. - That is the right thing.
You have me, Mother.
You have me, Hyunsook.
Gee, I’m very happy thanks to two men. Thank you all.
Okay.
Eat some fruit.
Eat, eat.
What’s wrong?
Miran, I’m sorry. Take off the gloves. I’ll do dishes.
Forget it. I don’t want Father to nag at you either.
It’s okay. So what?
Don’t use too much detergent.
Okay.
Honey, wash gently. Dishes will chip.
Oh, I’ll be careful.
Gosh, really. Nuts.
Nice. You talked mean to Geumshil and now made Dalsoo do dishes.
Miran didn’t make me, Father.
Be quiet.
Yield the house finance to Geumshil. She has her position too.
No joy for her to take care of an old man if she’s refused of everything.
Things will work only if oiled well.
Father.
Gee.
Scoot.
I’ll finish it. I want to help.
Forget it.
Hayoung hasn’t called, right? Did something happen?
Strange.
Jisuk. Hayoung hasn’t called. Have you talked to her?
No. I talk to her during lunch. Shall I call her?
Yeah.
The person you’ve reached is unavailable.
She’s not picking up.
Try again.
I’ll call her aunt.
The person you’ve reached is unavailable.
She’s not picking up either.
Don’t worry too much. She will call.
Jisuk. What if she won’t come back from Hong Kong?
Gee, she will. I have to go out for a meeting. Don’t worry.
Okay. Make sure to call her.
Okay. I’m going.
They’ll come back. Sure. She’s probably busy and can’t call.
James misses his dad so much.
Hi.
Welcome.
Oh, three of you coming together.
Sure. We have to drink coffee before work.
Aunt, give us delicious one.
Okay. Sit.
I’ll help.
Okay. Thanks, Kihoon.
Aunt, nothing going on at home? I’m curious.
Good thing you two didn’t come home.
Stepgrandma blew up again. She wants to manage the house.
She wants to manage the whole household?
No, she wants only the finance right. It hasn’t been decided.
Miran must be very upset.
Things happen every single day. I’ll get going first.
-Bye. -Bye.
Chief must be upset.
Kihoon, care more for Mom.
She gets mad at me all the time.
Do as much as you do for your mother-in-law.
Okay.
She can’t have the finance right. It’s Mother’s exclusive right.
There is nothing we can do about it.
I’ll give my living expense money only to Mother.
Yes. The whole family has to unite and help Miran.
Of course.
Hey, the first son has to be better. Okay?
Okay.
Gosh. This woman poisoned all of her husbands to get their insurance money.
She got over $1 million in insurances. Isn’t she smart?
So many evil people in this world.
You have lots of insurances, right?
If I take good care of you, you’ll make me the beneficiary, right?
Yeah, okay. At the right time.
No. Shall we have another life insurance? I’ll live longer than you.
I need to survive when you’re gone.
Well…
Yes, sir.
Find out about Director Jessica’s Hong Kong schedule.
Check her return flight schedule too.
Okay.
Tell Secretary Amanda that I want to talk to Jessica.
Call this number.
Okay. You have Planning Team’s meeting at 3.
Okay.
The person cannot be reached at this time.
Patient’s tooth extraction was delayed and treated with an anti-flammatory.
Extract it depending on his condition and get implant surgery scheduled.
Okay, we will do.
Stepdad.
Hey… I’m not even married. What’s with stepdad?
I’m calling you that in advance.
Dad is better. Why put “step” to that? More embarrassing.
Okay, Dad.
Hey. I’m not used to it. Don’t.
Just call me Chief when at work.
Okay.
I got a pretty daughter like you for free.
I’m happy to get a cool dad.
Should I call Kihoon and Mom for lunch?
We already saw them in the morning. We’re busy.
Gee, you don’t mind it though.
Oh, talk about the devil.
Yes, Kihoon.
I’m changing the water filter. Mother doesn’t know where she put the filter.
I don’t know either. Why change the filter now?
It’ll get hot soon so I want to change it beforehand.
She said we can change it without asking for the service.
I found it, I found it.
Mother found it.
Good then. Kihoon, wanna lunch with me?
I’m making kimchi fried rice with Mother. Okay.
-Was it Yoonhee? -Yes. Where did you find it?
A drawer in the living room. Why couldn’t I find it?
Married women’s forgetfulness is a serious problem. I couldn’t remember.
My gosh. Kihoon can do anything. You’re my family’s jewel.
More like a servant.
Don’t say that to your family. Miran will come to beat me up.
Are you afraid of my mom?
Sure. She’s got a bad temper.
I badmouthed her one time and she wouldn’t look at me for 100 days.
So I had to beg her to reconcile.
Wow, you have a temper too but my mom is worse?
Don’t talk about it to your mom. I’ll get in trouble.
Okay, Mother.
If you’re done, let’s eat. I’m hungry.
Okay.
We could’ve just eaten ramen at the shop instead of home.
Eating comfortably at home is better.
Oh ho. Talking like someone who’s lived a long life.
Let’s invite Father and Stepmother for lunch.
It won’t be easy.
You can make it like you make lunch for Gyungshik. It’s practical.
Right. Stepmother likes vegetarian dishes so wrap dishes are good.
And stir-fired spicy pork for Grandpa.
You two only talk when I’m the one who will be cooking.
It’s for lunch so not many will come. Maybe three including Miran.
Great. Perfect number of people.
Miran can help with cooking. Let’s do it.
Dad, look at this. Aunt Miran drew this.
Isn’t it a pretty design? Minji sent this.
What is this? A bracelet?
Wow, she drew incredibly.
Should I make it into a bracelet with Minji’s help?
We can see the responses first from street selling, then go online.
We won’t need a big capital.
Our daughter’s business mind is awesome.
Wait. You need delivery system and supplies too for an online business.
You’ll need many helping hands. I might have a part in it, right?
Yup. The whole family can do it. We can save labor cost.
Will Dalsoo do it though? He’s too picky.
Look at you, you’re ruining it again. Don’t want Dalsoo to be well off?
You need to be straight like noodle, not twisted like ramen. My goodness.
Chinese language will be useful someday.
Why isn’t money deposited yet? I’ll wait till the weekend and call again.
Gosh, taking naps every day.
What happened to the house finance talk?
So boring.
I want iced multi-grain drink.
Have I heard it wrong?
I haven’t done anything wrong.
Huh? It was here before.
It’s me, Hyunsook. Same every day.
Don’t talk for a while about Kihoon living with you.
I couldn’t mention it because of Stepmother-in-law.
She’s totally straightforward. I’ll tell you when I meet. Okay.
Geumshil.
Have you seen her?
No.
Where did she go?
She can’t like it here because you don’t treat her well.
What if she leaves? You’ll have a hard time.
You’ll end up taking care of me.
Father. Nothing got better since she came.
Stop saying you got remarried to make my life easier. I got more works now.
You talk back so well to your father-in-law.
I’m sorry but I’ll say one more thing. I can’t let her have the house finance.
Miran.
I do the house work so it’s nonsense to get money from her each time.
Family members won’t understand it.
Geez.
-Oh my. -Oh, you scared me.
My button fell and it must be under here.
Can’t believe I have to work outside with you.
Didn’t you hear CEO, telling us to come up with good designs together?
Oh, nice memory. He emphasized the power of design for business expansion.
AJ Global Foundation funded my scholarship when I was in Paris.
AJ’s Director Jessica recommended me this company.
Oh, I see.
Director Jessica had emphasized it from back then.
She’s one of the people in my life that I should thank.
She’s an awesome person.
Director Jessica’s meeting schedule is tight so she can call after 11 p.m.
Have you talked to Amanda?
Yes.
Even if she’s busy, her hotline number must be open.
Have you tried with the number I gave you?
Yes, I have. It doesn’t connect.
Her return flight is still open and not reserved yet.
Understood. Reserve me the quickest flight to Hong Kong after tomorrow.
Okay.
Going to Hong Kong?
Ms. Chairwoman.
Can’t get in touch with Hayoung, right?
She must have a tight executives meeting schedule.
Probably an excuse.
No. I’m supposed to talk to her secretary tonight.
If you’re sure they’ll come back, why are you going to Hong Kong?
Her flight was supposed to be issued as scheduled but it’s not yet.
I’m worried about James too.
If she was determined to leave us, what’s the use?
James was sick before and Hayoung went to Hong Kong in a rush.
He was sick?
Yes. That was before I knew about James’s existence.
I see. She might not come if she hates to see me.
Choi, let’s go.
Yes, Ms. Chairwoman.
Vegetable? Why is it steaming?
Why put the vegetable in hot water? So hot.
Withered vegetable will become fresh when you put in hot water.
Really? Oh, right. I think I’ve heard of it.
My memory is slowly going bad.
I’ll prepare broccoli and blueberries. They’re good for memory.
Lotus root and nuts are good too.
Kihoon knows lots of things. Gifted to be a chef.
I love cooking so much so I don’t know why Mom opposes.
She’s got a big expectation for you.
And your grandpa hates it since you’re the first grandson.
When he’s living with a very young woman…
All he has to is to break that prejudice.
For now, do what you like step-by-step.
I read cookbooks whenever I had time in Saudi Arabia.
You did? Let’s go step-by-step for your path to becoming a chef.
Okay, Mother.
-High five! -High five.
Yes, Dalja. What is it?
Stepmother wants us. It’s probably about the household management.
Household management? Including monthly living expense money?
What does Miran say? Oh, really?
Okay. I’ll go later.
Something happened again.
Stepmother asked for the complete finance right. It’s a face-to-face fight.
Give it to her then.
Why do you say things Miran will be shocked to hear?
If we give her the living expense money,
she won’t talk of the family register or the house so it’s better.
Oh really? Anyways, this is about Miran’s pride.
We always end up here when we work outside.
Wanna stop by my house? I’m thankful for Mom’s sketchbook.
And my house is close by so it’s not appropriate to let you go.
Okay. I will drink tea and talk about her design.
Okay.
Mom, Sunwoo is here.
Welcome, Sunwoo.
Why brought you here again?
I came to drink tea.
Okay. Come and have a cup of tea.
How about dinner?
Haven’t had yet.
Thanks for the gift. Thanks to you, my old dream revived.
I want to hear something from you.
If it’s about what you said…
Minji’s dad and grandpa don’t approve.
I’m not asking for a marriage. I just want to date her.
Sunwoo. Why do you talk to her about dating me?
I thought that elders’ opinions come first before you.
Forget it.
Mom, what do you mean Grandpa and Dad oppose?
Minji, let’s talk later.
Why oppose him? How much do you know about Sunwoo?
I’m disappointed in Mom. Also disappointed in Sunwoo.
I’m sorry. Excuse me.
Look. He came a few days ago and asked to go out with you.
But Grandpa opposed like this and Mom got mad and went into her room.
Geumshil, stop.
I didn’t know Sunwoo was here.
Why, Grandpa? Why does everybody oppose?
That day was like this, exactly same.
He didn’t say anything and got mad at him. There’s some secret.
You can meet better man.
Sunwoo is a very proper and nice man. Grandpa.
Eat a lot, sweetie. Your dad-in-law is buying today.
We’ll buy. You gave us allowance too.
You should call out Mom too.
She’ll ask where I got the money, so no.
You pay the tab so she won’t notice. I’ll give you the money.
Okay. I’m the accomplice then.
Father. I dare to say this.
You shouldn’t do things Mother hates, okay?
Okay. Just this time. Eat Heemang’s portion too.
Okay.
Yoonhee should eat two servings. Beef ribs are good.
Eat kimchi noodle too to refresh.
Okay. Thank you.
Why did you come without Miran? It must be a secret meeting.
I’ll tell her everything.
Dad, what to do?
Hey, don’t worry. She won’t tell.
I thought you were suspicious. You’re spending money secretively?
Honey, you’re mistaken.
Yoonhee likes meat so we brought him.
You guys, close your eyes.
Mom.
Right now!
Open your eyes. Enjoy and pay. I’m going.
Father, are you okay?
Yeah. I called her out. I called her out.
James, you’re not sick, are you? Just stay healthy.
Oh, Hayoung. If you hate me, at least keep James safe.
No calls yet, right?
No, Grandma.
Aren’t people foolish?
We don’t know the importance of people next to us until they’re gone.
Don’t be so upset. Nothing will happen.
I thought I only needed James but I was foolish.
I ignored the fact that they’re inseparable mother and son.
If I can’t get in touch by tonight, I’ll go to Hong Kong tomorrow.
Okay. My puppy is being troubled.
James…
Hayoung, please pick up the phone.
With many family members, opinions vary.
Minji must be frustrated. Whose tune should she dance to?
She should listen to the elders.
Dongpal, doesn’t Miran talk about the household management?
Not yet.
My friend was right. Living with an old man is hard with money complications.
It’s so hard to live. I got no joy.
I’m treating you well.
If Miran and I have a big fight due to opinion conflicts, who would you side?
I’m on your side.
No matter what. If you don’t take side with me, I’ll no longer linger.
I only have you to depend on. Okay?
Yeah.
I’m tired. Go and rest.
Mother. It was hard to refuse Father’s wish. I’m sorry.
It depends on how you think.
Don’t you know I’m upset because of Dad?
I can’t trust you guys either. Why are you being secretive to me?
Mom, tell me about Sunwoo.
Let’s do that later, Minji.
Why are you like that to Sunwoo?
I’m upset now so let’s talk later.
I didn’t know you would be like this. Why didn’t you tell me?
You’re so…
Miran, let me see you.
Gosh. Gosh.
Come out to the living room for a second.
Okay.
You got everybody else too.
I can guess what this is about.
It’s about what you told me earlier, right?
Yeah, probably.
I’m quick-tempered. We need to conclude our talk.
Please make it short.
Did you buy what I’ve asked? You went grocery shopping earlier.
I forgot.
Why do you ignore me? I asked twice so you should’ve bought it.
Being mean with food… You didn’t buy on purpose, right?
You can buy it yourself.
You could’ve bought on your way to shopping.
This isn’t working. Give me the finance right, now.
No, I don’t want to.
If you don’t accept this suggestion, I won’t sit still.
Me too. I won’t sit still either.
You might think I’m just his cohabitant but you can’t treat me like this.
I’ve managed the household for 30 years as the first daughter-in-law.
I’ve done it when late mother-in-law was alive too.
Afraid I would waste the monthly expense money?
Does it make sense I get money from you?
Then should I, as a mother-in-law?
I yielded on the house and family register matters.
Can’t you say, “Please try it, Mother”?
I want to enjoy the pleasure of managing house with money too.
You don’t manage house for fun.
You have to do all the house work with the money.
Don’t I have to be comfortable in order to care for Father?
This is a separate matter from Father.
Miran.
Yes?
Pass it over to Mother.
Father…
