You must get quite a breeze up there

You drove when you live right across the street?
And you shouldn't be
driving so recklessly in front of a school
Song-yi said she was late... I'm sorry
Where did her mother go?
She said she got a job... did she go to work?
I need to collect membership dues from her
I'm sorry, but I'm busy
What's got him so busy when he's bumming around at home?
So you wouldn't even call?
No...I shouldn't call her first
Choi Mina... This is why I'm way ahead of you
What?
Hello, we have a great investment opportunity for you
What?
Tha Kang-Nam Se-Goc branch of the Tax Education Unit
Are you teasing me or something?
Even telemarketers are hassling me at home
Yes, Mr. Kim
I'll get right to the point since I'm busy
You haven't found a job yet have you?
I have a lot of offers, but I'm being selective
I guess you don't need my help then
The more, the better, sir
My executive--- that's the best
What company?
What? There was a mistake?
I'm sorry We should've called you
What did I tell you?
I promised to burn all my fingers if you got a job
May I go back to work now?
Where do you think you're going?
Is there a problem with working during work hours?
You can't leave when the situation hasn't been resolved yet
But the situation has been resolved
What?
I'm sorry, but we've decided on Ms. Nam Eun-mi
Please leave now
Hello, Director Nam
Dad, what's going on?
I guess there was some error in the process
- Will you take care of it? - Of course Don't worry about it
I'm sorry to trouble you like this
Well, it made for an exciting first day
- See you - Let's go
I don't know what to say
I'm sorry I made you come all this way for nothing
Team Captain
I can't go home like this
My family was so happy I got a job
But what could I do?
There's no position available on the marketing team
It doesn't have to be the marketing team
I'll do anything Please let me work
I feel for your predicament, but I can't let someone who
applied for a marketing job work at a store
- Welcome - Again
- Welcome - You have to bow deeper at the waist
- Welcome - Wait
Don't just bow at the waist
You have to bow your head too Again
- Welcome - Again
Where did all my shirts go?
"Can't receive the phone---"
So you're ignoring my calls now?
There it is
What the...It's still wet
Where's the iron? What a mess
Even the chiffoniers are mess
What does she do at home all day?
Here!
What's on?
Hey, bring me an iron right away
You should ask your wife...
Just get here now!
I've never done this since my divorce
I'm not sure if I'm doing it right
I'm late I have to be there by 1 2:30
Hey Fishcake! I'm going to wash up
- Do a good job - All right
What's wrong? You step on a mine or something?
Spray it evenly
So you've decided to do the housework from now on?
You think I'm nuts? I'm not doing housework
What do you call that? What you're doing is housework
Now that I got a job, it's coup d'etat time
The regime is back in power in only 24 hours
How can you say that when your wife must be
suffering at work?
Suffering? She must be all smiles about now
Pease leave the phone.
Here and there...
It's Dio Pizza so delicious.
It would be great if you come here together
- Your wife is calling - Don't answer You'd better not
I guess she's worried
Hey, on my way here I saw the notice
that they're shutting off the water at noon
What?
Will this do?
We're out of water
You want me to get water from the fish tank?
What?
Is he mad? I'm sure he sent Song-yi to kindergarten
What? Why do you keep calling?
Why are you yelling?
How can I not? Who do you think you are?
What are you doing after abandoning your child?
Abandoning my child? Am I Song-yi's only caregiver?
Your tank has cracks Hang up I'm busy Hang up!
Did you get Song-yi to kindergarten?
You're worried about that?
Did you eat?
I wouldn't go hungry just because you're not here
I'm really disappointed in you today
I have to go now Hang up
Get a move on
But...Your fish tank
I need you to go on a delivery right now
- I have to make deliveries? - You can't?
You don't know how to ride a scooter?
- Well... - That's bad
I asked them to hire someone who can make deliveries
I just don't know the area very well...I can go.
Do you have a bike by any chance?
Yes, I arrived It's a high-revenue store
Yes That's right
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Then I'll just assess their hygiene and inventory status
Yes, sir I'll call you later
Are you all right?
- Are you all right? - I'm really sorry
This must be an expensive car
I hope your car is okay I'm sorry
Oh no, is the pizza okay?
I have to make the delivery in 30 minutes
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Thank you You don't have to do this...
You have ten minutes
You're even worried about my delivery time... Thank you so much
They send you on a delivery without asking
whether you can ride a scooter or not?
All the delivery guys were out
But they shouldn't do this What if you get into an accident?
I know I think we make a left there
No, it must be the next intersection I'm sorry
- He said there was a video shop - Three minutes left
Over there I see a video shop
- Where? - Over there
- Thank you so much - Then...
Choi Mina, you still got it
I told the man I'd charge it
- But it says... - Forget it Just take it back
I'm sorry, but I'm looking for Mr. Kong Yong-ho
He's inside
Mr. Kong Yong-ho? I'm sorry I'm late
- I'm Koo Soo-han - You're exactly 45 minutes late
I'm sorry I ran into an accident...
- traffic was so bad - It's all right
I'm on my way to an appointment Just leave your resume
- What? You didn't bring your resume? - That's not it...
What was Mr. Kim thinking sending someone like this...?
Never mind I'll call you later
I have to get to my appointment now
Song-yi!
Koo Song-yi See you tomorrow
- See you tomorrow - Bye...
Song-yi, your mom must be coming late
- You want me to take you home? - No Daddy promised he'd come
It's a fire in the office of apartment
We are doing our best...
I'm really grateful for what you did earlier,
but you can't follow me here
Ms. Choi Mina What are you saying to the chief?
Chief? Who's the...
Excuse me
High revenue doesn't mean your performance is satisfactory
Our image could suffer a fatal blow
if you sell damaged goods
I'll be careful
The same goes for the delivery system
How could you send someone on a delivery
who doesn't even know how to drive?
A speedy delivery is our promise to customers
Customer satisfaction should be your first priority
- Do you understand? - Yes, sir
- Ms. Choi Mina! - Yes
- What do you have there? - Well...she said to take it back...
Ms. Choi Mina!
Song-yi!
Song-yi...
Song-yi...I'm sorry...I'm late
You broke our promise... I hate you
Mom told me not to cry and to be a good girl...
I want Mommy
Song-yi...I'm sorry Hush!
Song-yi...Hush!
Is it good?
Why are you wearing a suit?
This? I took a test so I could go to work
I thought Mommy was going to work instead of you
Who said that?
That man said you got fired
Song-yi, shall we tell Mommy not to go to work?
Why?
I can't even brush your hair... or walk you to kindergarten
Wouldn't it be much better if Mom stayed home?
Let's tell Mommy not to go to work Okay?
Can I finish the sweet and sour pork?
Sure It's all yours I'm not going to eat
- I'm all itchy - That's why you should bathe more often
Ask Mommy to give you a bath when she comes home
Please sit here
Thank you
Where did they go?
What's all this? Were we robbed?
My goodness...
Song-yi? Where did you go?
- Mom - Song-yi, where...
- What's wrong with her? Is she sick? - Get out of the way
You have no right to hold her
What is that supposed to mean?
Why don't I have the right to hold her?
You abandoned her, and left without a word
- You have no right - I didn't abandon her
What about you?
You didn't even know she was allergic to pork
How was I supposed to know that? You never told me
I told you lots of times You never took any interest in her
Be quiet!
This would never have happened if you hadn't gone to work
What am I supposed to do
when we can barely make ends meet this month?
We have to send money to your parents,
pay Song-yi's tuition, maintenance fee, insurance...
and pay for the damages to that car you keyed...
and do you know how much we owe my mom?
What are you going to do about those things?
I can't stand being indebted, even to my mom
Fine You're finally showing your true colors
Are you saying you got a job because
I didn't bring home enough money?
How did you put up with it until now?
Yes, I can't believe how I put up with it until now
You know how many blank checks you wrote me up till now?
But I still put up a sweet front
After all, we're married We should understand each other
But have you ever understood me?
What understanding do you need?
Are we speaking different languages?
Are you speaking English? Am I speaking Chinese?
Things wouldn't have come this far if we had tried to
understand each other's difficulties for once
Take today, for instance
I went to work for a day, not a month or a year
- How could you do this to...? - You think I wanted to do this?
It makes my blood boil to think
that I ruined my interview because of you
What are you saying? What interview?
Forget it Forget everything!
And if you go to work tomorrow, I won't stand for it
Don't make me repeat myself Got that?
What's this?
You didn't have to do this This is harsh...
I told you not to aggravate me
This means so much to me...
I don't want to live like this either
I don't want Song-yi to be sick...
and I don't want to fight with you like this every day
Daddy, why are you yelling?
Song-yi!
I wasn't yelling... come here
I want Mommy
Song-yi, I'm sorry Mommy and Daddy were fighting
Mom, don't cry I'll never eat sweet and sour pork again
You don't want Mommy to work?
I won't go to work if you don't want me to
I wish you wouldn't cry
So don't cry You can go to work
I'll be a good girl
and stay with Daddy
Song-yi...
I'm sorry...
-The baby kicked! - kicked?
-What does the baby want to eat -What is it?
A pig sausage ----.right!
Are you all right?
I hear it feels weird after quitting a job
It feels a little strange to think
of staying home for the rest of my life
Why would you say that?
You can go back to work when our baby starts to walk
- Really? - Sure
It'd be a loss to the nation to waste a great worker like you
- Promise - Come on I won't go back on my word
I got us a present with my severance pay
It's time you got a new car
You'll make manager soon You need a nicer car
You should've gotten something for yourself
I got one for myself too
I bought them to keep me company at home
You should've bought something nicer
I have no occasion to go out now
You should take care of them from time to time
Of course They're a good-looking bunch of fish
I'll be careful...
I'm sorry...
I'll be careful...
I'm sorry...I'm...
Why should you be sorry...?
I'm sorry
It's burnt again
- What are you doing? - Can't you see? I'm making breakfast
I'm doing this because I'm starving
- You have to use low heat to cook eggs - Really?
Go and get ready You'll be late for work
- Then...I can go to work now? - Just until I get a job
You mean it?
I wouldn't be talking nonsense this early in the day
Thank you
I'm sorry I went to work without telling you yesterday
I'm sorry I got angry with you
- Shall we do it for a change? - No, it's too early...
- And Song-yi will be up soon - She's not up yet
Let me look at my sweetie!
- Mom - Hi, Song-yi
Song-yi!
You two made up?
We never fought Let's go wash up
You can't give her any pork or shrimp
And there's food in the fridge Be sure to eat
I'll make dinner after work Just go shopping for me
Got it Go to work
Song-yi, be a good girl
- Pasha! - Pasha
Pasha Pasha Pasha
Excuse me How do you do?
- I just moved in next door - I see
It's a box of rice cakes It's not much
You didn't have to Thank you so much
Then...
Thank you
I'm late Bye, Song-yi Bye, honey
Song-yi, isn't it nice to walk to school with Dad?
Yes, but do you remember what time I finish?
At 1 :30 What do you take me for?
I saw in the moving day there were too many knives
Yes, so
Are you sure she's from Japan?
I'll be here right on time
- Pasha! - Pasha!
Go!
Soo-han!
- Did you meet your new neighbor? - Yes...
Isn't there something odd about her?
- A young Japanese woman with a child... - She has a child?
Yes, she has a boy about Song-yi's age
That can't be She looked single
- Mom, hurry up we'll be late - Wait
I don't know what her husband does,
but I saw lots of knives when they were moving in
I wonder if he's a chef... or...a gangster?
- I have a bad feeling about her - What do you mean?
- She even gave us a box of rice cakes - Rice cakes?
She didn't even come to say hello to me
But for someone so young to have a child so old...
She must've had him when she was twenty So promiscuous
I got it She must be a mistress Right?
Stop spreading silly rumors She looked like a lady to me
- Soo-han, you can't just leave like that - What now?
- You have to pay the membership dues - Why should l?
I'm not a member of the housewives' club!
That temper...
Coat it lightly with flour
and push out the edges like this
- Like this? - No,
Don't use too much pressure
Push it out gently like this
- Like this? - Yes
Why don't we put some carrots on the pizza?
Then the kids will eat them without realizing it
Why is a single woman concerned about such things?
It's my niece... she hates carrots
About that chief from the headquarters...
How powerful is he? Is he very competent?
Of course His word carries a lot of weight
- Why? Are you interested? - No
I just thought he must be a powerful man
This will take forever Can't we just do this?
Don't jaywalk when you're making deliveries
- Ms. Choi Mina - I'm sorry Oh no...
What a mess
- Hello - Yes
- He must be your nephew - No, he's my son
I see
He's very cute, just like his mother
Excuse me Do you know any locksmiths in the area?
Come in I called him, so he'll be here shortly
- It's all right - Please come in
We changed our locks too
because I kept forgetting the combination
- Come in Please - come in
- What would you like? Is coffee okay?
Have a seat
I'm planning a big business...at home
- I see - Make yourself comfortable
- Are you Japanese? - Yes
- And your hometown is... - I'm from Kyoto
My college friend lives in...Dotonbori
- He says it's very nice - Dotonbori isn't in Kyoto
It's not? That's right It's Kobe Dotonbori's in Kobe...
- Dotonbori is in Osaka - That's right...Osaka
- How long have you been in Korea? - It's been two years
- Here, Your Korean is very good - Thank you
Please have some coffee
It's instant, but the right amount of water makes it good
It's better than any vending machine coffee, isn't it?
Yes, it's good
- Mom - You have to say thank you and drink it
- Thank you - He's so polite
He looks just like you
Excuse me
Did Song-yi get to kindergarten?
Make sure you hang the laundry out to dry Love you
I'm getting so many calls from investors...
What's that noise? Is the washer broken?
Maybe there's something in a pocket Like coins or a lighter
That's right
There was a lighter in the...
This was...
Locksmith
Then...
What was she doing?
What are you doing?
You should ring the bell This isn't your house
He's ignoring my messages now?
You must have a boyfriend
Yes, I have a foul-tempered boyfriend
Scrub every corner
You'll be held responsible if we fail our inspection
You think I'm nuts? I'm not doing housework
Those were your words yesterday
I decided to sacrifice myself for the peace of my family
- Whose panties are these? - What happened to this?
Did you settle up with that guy for keying his car?
Don't even ask Which brings me to the subject
I have a moneymaking opportunity for you
- Quick cash - What is it?
Let's use your place as "the house" today
Forget it I can't make a mess again when we just made up
Think it over It's going to be a big game
You can triple your hidden stash
Then... Maybe I could get a new fish tank
- The house collects in advance - Is it done any other way?
- Call the guys - I already did
Why are you smiling? Are you holding a flush?
It's not just a regular flush I'm holding a straight flush
You should all fold
Song-yi!
What are you...?
She bought me ice cream
I saw her when I went to register Ji-hoon for kindergarten
I see...thank you I was just on my way to pick her up...
Something urgent came up at home
You only had two pair?
Bye
- Pretty Hi, Song-yi - Fart-heads!
Daddy, I'm telling Mommy on you
Song-yi, a tattletale is a bad person
Mommy said people who do this are bad too
That's because Mom doesn't know

Do you want Daddy to make money or not?
Make money...
Then should I be doing this or not?
- You should--- - Right?
I'll make lots of money so we can eat something good later
