Choi Mina!
What are you doing in a uniform? You're making deliveries?
The thing is...
It's OJT.
OJT? What's that?
On-the-job training. You know what that is.
On the marketing team, they require you...
At the company that fired your husband?
This is foul.
You're kicking a guy when he's down.
How can you work for the company that fired me?
I wouldn't have done this if you hadn't provoked me.
- What? - It's a jungle out there.
Do whatever you want.
See if anyone gives a job to a married woman with a kid.
You put a big dent in my pride.
And you'd step all over your husband to save your pride?
I didn't. I just wanted to prove to you
that I'm competent.
That I'm not just a laid-back housewife.
So what if you deceive your husband
who bums around the house all day anyway, right?
Don't let your imagination run wild.
You just happened to get fired just then.
Shut up!
How could you do this to me after they fired me?
I don't even want to pee in this direction.
And what if my teammates find out?
No one will know. They don't even know what I look like.
How could they not know?
Mr. Koo, is that you?
Mr. Hong, Kwang-soo, long time, no see.
What brings you here?
I was in the area.
Yeah
Is she an acquaintance of yours?
No, she was just asking for directions.
- I see. - I'm so busy in these days
- Let's go have lunch. - No, I ate.
- You do - Yeah
You still claim no one knows you?
That's because you were with me...
Quiet! Just quit right now. Now!
But...
No buts when your husband is talking.
It's time to go pick up Song-yi.
What?
It's for the best. I just have to get a job at headquarters.
- Hello. - Hello.
- How do you do, sir? - I'm fine
They're the samples from yesterday's shoot.
That syringe idea was great.
- Really? - Eun-mi, go ahead.
I need to speak to Chief Ji.
Yes, Dad.
I heard Mr. Koo was here to see you.
Yes.
He caused a scene when he got laid off, too.
Why do you think he keeps coming back?
I'm sure he feels he's been wronged. I can understand
You don't think there was a problem in your method of restructuring?
If weight loss were so easy, there'd be nothing but thin people.
It's only natural to run into difficulties when we're downsizing.
Someone has to be the bad guy.
Let me give you some advice.
Call it restructuring or layoffs,
your misguided method will always be accompanied by problems.
I'm only handling it in a logical way by adhering to principles.
A business can't run on principles alone.
There could be innocent casualties resulting
from mistakes made by rookies.
Are you referring to your own case?
Don't think
I don't know why you're firing all my people.
I don't know how high up the corporate ladder you want to climb,
but just know that you have no allies in this company.
You've proved yourself to be very cold-hearted.
How dare you push this nonsense about principles on me?
You haven't even made a single pizza with your own hands.
I...
- Well, l--- - You know how to make pizza?
Pardon?
What are they doing?
You know how to make pizza.
There's man who didn't know cookin pizza in this company
By the way, what brings you here?
Pardon?
You got me thinking yesterday.
You were right about proving myself first.
That's right
It's a new marketing plan for our new product.
I made it.
Oh no, it's all mixed up now.
Where is page five?
Is this it?
Do I seem heartless?
Pardon?
What do you say? I think I helped you out a lot.
I can't say you haven't...
Really?
It's the marketing plan for our new product.
I disagreed with some things I saw yesterday.
Please review it.
I beg you.
Why do you try so hard?
I belong on the marketing team.
And I told someone I got the job.
They think I'm doing great at work.
I'll review it. My assistant will get back to you.
Yes.
I'm counting on you.
Your syringe idea was great.
Came in very handy.
I'm glad to hear that.
Ms. Choi Mina.
I overlooked it at the shoot yesterday.
But I can't tolerate it if you keep this up.
Overlook what?
Do you want this job that much? I saw you soliciting favors.
I plan to pull some strings too. Why? I can't?
We'll be seeing each other often when I come back to headquarters.
We should get along better.
What?
- Hello? - Why aren't you coming back?
What's keeping you?
Yes, please wait a little longer.
Nothing gets done without me.
See you.
Chief, you're even making pizza?
What brings you here?
No particular reason--- I just saw you in here.
Here you were.
The president is looking for you.
- He is? - Yes.
See you later. Enjoy the pizza.
Enjoy.
I knew it when she came home smelling like pizza.
It's great. She avenged you.
As if.
How can she do that to her husband?
It's like she's killing me twice.
I'll make sure she never goes back to work.
What's the problem as long as she makes good money?
If my wife had been anything like your wife,I'd never have divorced her.
- Hello? - Soo-han?
Do you remember me?
Yes...who is this?
Mr. Koo Soo-han? I'm calling about your SR credit card.
You have the wrong number.
Yes, I've been getting a lot of his calls lately.
Legal measures?
I said I'm not Koo Soo-han.
- You are Koo Soo-han. - You have credit card debt?
This is trouble. Mina doesn't know about this credit card.
They take legal measures when I'm only one month behind?
They're no pushovers.
If you keep avoiding them, they'll come after you day and night.
That's why I had to sleep on the street for 2 weeks last month.
- What are you looking for? - Something.
Legal notice...
Who is it?
- Delivery. - Delivery?
- Mr. Koo Soo-han? - Yes.
We're from the credit card company.
What?
We're taking legal measures for delinquent payment.
How could you work for the company that fired your husband?
I don't even want to pee in this direction.
Quit right now. Now!
What did I do so wrong?
I'm only doing this so we can make a comfortable living.
If he so much as says a word to me...
I won't stand for it. I won't!
First
Let's have a cup of tea before we talk.
What are you getting at now? I...
Mina.
I've been doing a lot of thinking today.
Let's think about this objectively, not emotionally.
Let's look at it from her point of view, not just mine.
Let's come up with the wisest decision,
instead of hurting each other.
- What--- - Hear me out first.
You must've wanted to work desperately to have done this.
You knew I'd be furious.
I felt terrible.
This is not it... what happened to us...
- Why are you doing this? - Mina,
I don't want to crush your dream.
I may be an incompetent husband, but I don't want to be a bad husband.
This is---
my conclusion.
I'm done. Let's listen to you now.
So...
For now, l...
So...
Thank you.
Yes.
I thank you too.
I haven't said it out loud, but I understand you too.
- I'm sorry. - You mean that?
You really understand me?
Let's stop here for today.
When do you finish OJT? I'll visit you at the office soon.
I'll be done soon.
I believe you'll do great things on the marketing team.
The revenue of our company rests in this hand.
Answer your phone. We'll talk after you answer your phone.
Yes
Hello?
Is this Ms. Choi Mina?
- Yes, it is. - Your husband's name is Koo Soo-han?
Yes, it is. What is it?
I'm calling about his SR credit card.
He should respond to our request for payment.
Pardon? I don't understand...
We couldn't get a hold of him, so we took legal measures.
We're giving you a call because you're listed as his guarantor. The balance is...
What? $3,798?
Koo Soo-han, do you have a death wish?
Mina.
I'm sorry I got a credit card behind your back.
My friend who works for the company begged me to get one.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
But know this.
I haven't spent a dime of that balance on myself.
Even only 1 cent
You're back to work, so you must know.
My allowance wasn't nearly enough to cover my expenses.
And I was a manager, not just a peon.
I have to buy twice when someone buys once.
You might say it was pretentious of me,
but what other fun
would a pencil pusher have at work?
Let's make up now.
I'll never lie to you again. I'll be a good man.
Hit me if you're still mad.
Not satisfied? What shall I do then? I'll do anything you tell me.
- Shall I put it in writing? - Yes.
Put it in writing.
- This is the card? - Yes.
You did well. You did the right thing.
Let's go to bed now.
- Sign here. - Sign? What is it?
One, I will faithfully
fulfill my responsibilities as a housewife until I find a job.
Two, I will not engage in any gambling activities at home.
Three, I will not make any financial decisions without consulting my wife.
Four, I will do my best for the sake of Song-yi's health and education.
I will dutifully learn the poop song.
If I should violate any of these rules,
I will gladly accept any punishment.
Do you have to go this far?
You're going to pay off your credit card debt?
Fine, I'll sign it. I'll sign it!
I was going to do all these without something like this.
Let's just make it black and white today.
Turn the alarm off. So noisy.
Did you forget the pledge already?
Aren't you going to make breakfast?
I want rice in the morning from tomorrow.
But you said you wanted toast.
What kind of soup do you want?
Clean the floor and windows today.
The weather is fine today
All right.
And sterlize that kitchen towel. It looks more like a rag.
I shouldn't have signed that thing.
And go to Song-yi's kindergarten today.
I go there every day.
Today is parent participation day.
How can I go? Only mothers will be there.
Then should I go?
I should go...
Why do they have to do this anyway?
- Others do the same thing. - How do you know that?
This is why this country is in trouble.
We make too much fuss over education.
- Hello. - Hello
- Hello. - Yes
You look like a different person dressed like that.
You do too. You look great in a suit.
Really? I do have a decent figure.
- Hello! - Hi
We see you again.
By the way,when did you get married to have such a big boy?
- You still look like a single woman. - Yeah
But I've never seen your husband--- He must be very busy.
He goes on business trips often.
- I see. But I haven't seen him even--- - Aren't you going to ask
for membership dues today?
This is unexpected.
Okay now? Song-yi, let's go to school with your friend.
- He's not my friend. - Yes, he is.
Let's go.
See you later.
Why is he overreacting?
Are you expecting a call?
Yes, I am.
Is he reviewing my business plan or what?
Mina, let's throw out yesterday's ingredients.
But they're perfectly fine.
It's not because they've gone bad.
But we do not use day-old ingredients.
What a waste. There are so many starving people out there.
Can't we give them away to homeless people?
No, it's against policy. We'll be fired if we get caught.
But it's a inhumane thing to do.
There are so many starving seniors and children out there.
But how could you abandon this many ingredients?
It's the policy, but we hardly ever get leftovers.
One on ten
You're coming to the get-together tonight, right?
- What? I don't think I can. - Why not?
It's your first get-together. You should come.
I have a previous engagement. And I can't drink anyway.
How pretty it is!
What is this? We're making a tulip.
I am making a tulip.
But you're doing it all wrong. You have to make it like this.
It's going to look like this.
It looks weird.
- Give it. - Quiet
Fine, you do it.
What is this?
You ruined it!
I had such a hard time making it...You ruined it.
I'll make another one. Don't cry
You ruined it.
I'll make it again.
- Song-yi! - Do something.
Song-yi!
Song-yi! Quiet
Song-yi, let's stop crying. Don't cry.
I'll show you something.
Guess what I'm making. Isn't it amazing?
Look!
How's this? Is it interesting?
Shall we make stars next?
I'm sorry. I caused a ruckus---
It's all right. I don't think you could join in the other activities...
- But since you're here--- - What?
So---
Work is...very difficult.
Be good to your fathers and...
I worked on the sales team at work.
Who knows what "sales" is?
You don't know?
I'm sure you don't. A sales team is
Iike the heart in your body---
- I don't know. - It's no fun.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to deliver black bean sauce noodles.
I want to be a boxer.
Boxer? That sounds great.
Everyone, stand up!
I was once a boxer.
I'll teach you some basic boxing moves.
You have to be able to protect yourself.
- I need an assistant. - Me!
Ji-hoon, come forward.
What the...
First, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Make a fist and put your hands up.
Okay! One! Two! One! Two!
Ji-hoon, you're doing great.
Everyone, put your hands up like this.
One! Two! One! Two! Left! Right!
Upper cut!
Why'd you hit me?
You!
Stop kids!
Stop!
Don't do it! What are you doing?
You brought about this situation
Eat while it's still hot.
- Thanks - Enjoy.
- Let me have one. - Yes
- Eat slowly. - Yes
You must be thirsty.You like it?
Mina, you'll get into trouble if the manager finds out.
We're doing a good deed.
- You just keep quiet. - You'll get into trouble.
They do a really thorough inventory check.
It's all right. Enjoy.
Finally.
Hello?
What? I told you I'd wire the money today.
I'm not going to stiff you.
He has to call me if he reviewed my report.
That concludes the report on the results of the restructuring.
If you have any questions or need detailed...
It's already in the past. Fired employees can't come back
even if we learn the details.
How do you plan to replace that many positions?
- We need new--- - Chief Ji!
I don't care what new talents...
- I plan to hire them. - When will you hire new talents
with no bias toward their age, gender, or educational background?
Is that plan still valid?
Old pledges are nothing but lies.
Let's see what bright new talents you bring in.
Meeting adjourned.
It's a marketing plan for our new product.
Please review it. I beg you.
Are you looking for something?
I thought I left a document here.
Has anyone seen it?
No.
- How could this happen - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It happened so fast...
It's all right. At least nobody was seriously hurt---
Of course he's hurt.
Can't you see my Jae-min's face?
Look at him.
How can we send our children to kindergarten now?
You only teach them how to fight...
Yoo-jin, say something.
- l--- - Yes.
I think it's all right.
The outcome wasn't good, but Mr. Koo didn't mean any harm.
And it's good for the children to learn something.
Don't try to be a lady.
It's no use
What will you do about my son's injuries?
He has very sensitive skin. He scars easily.
What will you do about it?
- Does it hurt a lot? - Get your hand out of his face.
You want to hurt him again?
Ah!
Song-yi! What are you doing?
Song-yi
Koo Song-yi, say something.
Koo Song-yi!
Why did you do it?
Was it wrong what you did?
You're really going to get a scolding.
I hate you...
She was yelling at you--- when you didn't do anything wrong.
Song-yi...
I'm sorry. Stop crying Hush, I'm sorry.
Hush.
Hush!
Stop crying
Daddy...I need to poop.
Ribbit, ribbit, a frog is pooping.
Daddy frog, mommy frog, and baby frog. What's next?
Didn't eat much...
Didn't eat much, but still gotta poop.
Song-yi has a big poop. No, I don't.
- Song-yi has a big poop - That's not right.
- I have a small poop - No!
- Go ahead. - It's all right. You go ahead.
It's all right. Come in.
I want to close out this account.
This account hasn't matured yet.
There will be a penalty if you close it now.
Close it out and wire the money to this credit card company.
...$3000 won't make or break me.
I'll get a raise when I'm transferred to the marketing team.
Soo-han will find a job soon too.
If we both work, we'll save up $3000 in no time.
How are you?
I can't say I'm doing well.
It was an interesting read.
What are you doing with this?
The chief gave it to me to review.
That can't be...
You're very brave.
You dare try to pass this off as a marketing plan?
Are you sure you worked in marketing before?
- What? - Anyway
This just confirmed that you're not qualified to be
on the marketing team.
You'd do well not to waste your time again.
Bye, Manager.
<01 0-3266-3664 Choi Mina>
I had fun today, thanks to you.
No, I just caused trouble...
They say kids grow up fighting.
You even know that saying?
Sometimes you speak like a native Korean.
What was that song you were singing in the restroom?
- That? It's a poop song. - Poop song?
Song-yi is constipated.
Singing the song helps her go.
You're a tattletale. Fart-head.
You seem like a wonderful father.
- Who? Me? - Yes.
I'm not.
I can't make money, I always make her cry...
Take today, for instance. I got into trouble again.
I'm more like a bad father.
You're not. You spend a lot of time with Song-yi.
You can make her cry because you spend time with her.
That's true.
When I never had the chance to spend time with her, I had no reason to fight with her.
You're a much better father than the fathers who don't
even know what upsets their children or makes them cry.
I think you're right.
Song-yi, what kind of dad am l?
A fart-head!
Ms. Choi Mina.
Cheer up.
You'll chase away customers
with that look on your face.
I'm sorry.
There are people who started out at a store, and made executive.
If you work hard, another opportunity will come along.
Thank you.
I'll work hard.
You know we have a get-together tonight?
She can't come. She has plans.
- Really? - I'll go. Let's drink.
Excuse me. One more beer, please!
But you said you couldn't drink.
That depends on the situation.
Manager, we're going for a second round, right?
Second, third, fourth, and fifth. We'll go all the way!
I can drink today. Hurry.
- How many songs has she sung? - That's her fifth song.
It must've been a big blow to her.
Sing all by yourself!
Thank you.
Not even a phone call? That's harsh.
She thinks I'm her slave just because I signed that pledge?
She's plastered.
Why did you drink so much?
I've seen you before...
That's right. You're my troublemaker of a husband.
Don't embarrass yourself.
Out of the way.
- I can walk on my own. - Hey! Hey!
My way!
You're really putting on a show tonight.
- Let's go in - Koo Soo-han.
What kind of name is Koo Soo-han?
All right.
Lie down.
Koo Soo-han! You said you'd be good.
You call this being good? Do you know what I go through?
Don't be so hard on me. It's not that easy for me either.
You know the suffering I put up with at work?
Making deliveries is hard work.
Ma'am, you won't do this for the rest of your life.
What did you say when you married me?
You said you'd let me live like a champion.
You only ranked ninth in the welterweight class.
And you think that's an easy feat?
And your mother. Why does she show up just any old day
when I'm having enough trouble in my life?
Is it set up?
Who could that be at this hour?
- Who is it? - It's your mother.
Were you sleeping?
Mother. What are you doing here at this hour?
I can't live with your father another day.
He's always belittling me...
I can't even demand to have a new kitchen
for my bad back?
You fought over the kitchen again?
He throws all kinds of insults at his old wife...
So sick of him.
Where is Mina?
She wasn't feeling well, so she went to bed early.
How sick is she that
she won't even say hello?
Mom, don't wake her up.
Let her sleep. Let's just talk here.
What did Father do to upset you again?
Mother!
- Why you--- - You came again.
I'm glad you came.
Mina, you're not well. Go back to bed.
Let go!
What are you doing?
Mother, I'm having a hard time.
It's really hard living with your wonderful son.
I'm raising two kids.
- What are you saying now? - Mina.
She reeks of alcohol.
Mina, hold it in.
Dear Lord...Dear Lord---
Mother.
- When did you come? I'll do it. - Just go brush your teeth.
- What? - I bet I'm the only mother-in-law
who has to clean up her daughter-in-law's vomit.
I must be crazy. I must have gone insane.
How could you come home so drunk?
Whatever. Let's talk later. What are we going to do?
I can't be late for work.
We have no choice. I'll tell her I'm going to work.
Tell her you're taking Song-yi to school and get out.
I'll send you a text message.
What's the matter with you?
Mom, stop that... you should have breakfast.
Stop what?
How dare you come home so drunk?
I'm sorry, Mother.
It's because there's no elder in the house.
I'll be staying here for a while.
But what about Father?
He doesn't need me except when I prepare his ink.
Don't worry about him.
- But still--- - Just eat.
Daddy, why are you wearing a suit?
I always wear a suit.
You'll be late for school. Let's eat.
Eat up. Here, chew well. Eat up.
Eat up!
Pasha!
- Pasha! - Pasha!
Where am I going to go now?
Manager, I'm at the hospital now.
I think I've come down with the flu.
You must have a hangover.
- You'd better come to work right now. - It's not a hangover.
Don't you know we have an evaluation today?
It's very important. Come to work now!
Yes.
Why...
You don't even throw away this stuff...
What's all this?
And what is this?
You let all this kimchi go sour?
And I went to all the work to make you this kimchi.
I'll take Song-yi to kindergarten, and go grocery shopping.
All right.
I want to make braised ribs for Soo-han.
Yes.
Honey.
What took you so long? It's so embarrassing here.
- I got it, I got it - You two are so weird today.
Daddy, you're going to work now?
Yes, I'm going to work today.
I have to go to work now for an evaluation.
You have to take Song-yi to kindergarten.
- All right. - And
Mother wants to make you braised ribs.
You have to go shopping for the ingredients.
I'll stop by work and come back.
I don't know what we need for braised ribs.
I wrote it down.
Bye, Song-yi.
- What about money? - You take care of it.
How am I going to take care of it?
You're late.
- Where are we going? - You have to go to kindergarten.
But you said you're going to work.
Something's fishy...
She wasn't this bad before.
Something must be going on.
She's even smoking now?
Dear Lord...
What should I do about this?
What should I do---
There's no topping on this side.
The bubble is bigger than the standard size.
It's lighter than the specified golden brown.
It looks like a perfect golden brown to me.
Look, is it the same?
It's a little different.
We're done here. You can answer your phone.
Excuse me.
- Hello? - Why aren't you coming home yet?
I'll be right there.
Do you have to call me out when I've been shooting all night?
You're ruining my complexion.
And you weren't in a single scene.
Why do you still do this?
The movie business is the art of waiting.
I think you enjoy that art way too much.
By the way, how is Yoo-jin doing?
Yoo-jin? In unit 404?
How dare you call a married woman by her first name?
Soo-han.
You wore a suit to come grocery shopping?
You're just staying home--- you should dress more comfortably.
What's it to you what I wear to go shopping?
Don't care about me
Fishcake! When are you going to pay your rent?
Are you still in the planning stage?
I'm coming up with a real emergency plan...
Think of it as charity work...
- Why should I give you charity? Yeah!
- Work went well? - I don't know. I have to go now.
Mina, I borrowed money from Suk-joon.
All right. I'll give you the money later.
- Bye. - And...
Give me some allowance too...
What are these?
What do you mean? They're cigarettes and a lighter---
And what are they doing in your apron?
That... Soo-han leaves them here and there...
I must've put them in my pocket when I was cleaning.
That's some excuse.
I'm not lying. I wouldn't smoke.
Give me your hand.
You don't smell cigarette, do you?
What's this smell?
It's pizza.
You came home late because you were eating pizza by yourself?
- That's not it--- - How can you be so mean?
I never thought that of you, but you amaze me.
Let's see what you bought.
Yes, Mother.
What is this? You call these ribs?
And these potatoes?
- Take them back and exchange them. - What?
How can I cook with these?
Go exchange them now!
No,
I can't trust you.
I have to go myself. I just can't trust you.
You're out to get me, aren't you?
How can you say that?
Then how could you not know
where you bought these?
The thing is...I've been showing symptoms of "housewife's dementia"...
What? First you vomit in front of your mother-in-law,
and now you say you've gone senile before me?
Housewife's dementia and senility are different.
You sure are glib.
Mother! I remembered. It's over there.
Are you in your right mind?
We just came from there.
You're really out to get me,
aren't you?
That's not it.
That's right, I bought it from the new store over there.
You go wherever you want.
I'll do my shopping here and go home.
You do whatever you want, and go wherever you want.
- Mother, this way - No!
Mother---
They're making so much noise.
Hurry up! Let's move to the next
That's your wife with some old lady.
I think I've seen that old lady before.
After we're done here,
we move onto pork cutlets and dumplings.
What is he doing here at this hour?
Soo-han. Soo-han!
Soo-han!

Hello, everyone.
This is Koo Soo-han, I'm here to share with you a useful household tip.
Today, we'll learn how to restore
a shrunken wool sweater.
This might happen if you don't properly wash your wool sweaters.
But don't worry.

rinse the sweater in the solution,
and hang it to dry in the shade.
Good as new, isn't it?
