See? You're still the same.
I'm a fool to think you've changed.
Right, have you seen any man to really change? You're just the same.
Come on! How can you do this when you came to make up?
And you drop a bomb on me when you came to make up?
- Forget the whole thing. - What?
There you go again.
- Hello? - Hello?
What? Mother collapsed? What? Mother collapsed?
Father, what happened?
- You daft!! - What happened to Mum?
Mother-in-law, what happened?
She collapsed when I told her you were separated.
Mom, why did you do that?
I was so frustrated.
Frustrated about what? It's up to us
Please be quiet.
Mom. Mom, open your eyes.
Can you see me? It's me, Soo-han.
Can you see me? Can you?
Grandma, can you see me?
Yes---
Can you feel that?
We have to run more tests to be sure, but from her symptoms,
we suspect damages to the blood vessels in her brain.
Blood vessels in her brain--- Do you mean a stroke?
We'll know more when the CT scan results are ready.
I don't think it's anything serious. Don't worry.
Father, are you all right?
You drive me crazy. Why did you have to go and tell them that?
How can I not do anything?
I'm upset too.
What are you going to do now? What if something happens to Mother?
How can you say that?
This wouldn't have happened if you weren't separated.
That's enough---
Mother, it's me, Mina.
Are you awake?
Mina---You shouldn't stay separated---
Mother---I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mother.
No---matter---what happens---
---you shouldn't---do that---
She'll be fine.
Mother is a strong person. She'll be fine.
I can stay here. Take Mother home.
I can't go home.
But our staying here won't make Mom better.
Go home now. Song-yi is home alone.
And you have to go to work tomorrow.
Mina---
Mom collapsed when she heard we were separated---
Let's get back together now.
And...
Must you go to Hong Kong in this situation?
After what happened to Mom---
I don't think you should go.
Why do you make me a bad person?
I'm not saying you are.
What am I supposed to say when you tell me,
"let's get back together, don't go to Hong Kong"
without asking me how I feel about it?
I'm also upset --- I feel guilty she's collapsed
because of us.
I'm sorry.
It's all because I'm not good enough. I'm not good enough.
Go home.
Father.
You should go home now.
You should go. You have to work tomorrow.
It's all right. I can ask Suk-joon to cover for me.
Why did you separate?
It just happened---
- I'm sorry. - Go back home tomorrow.
A husband and wife are supposed to live together.
You'll be strangers the minute you drift apart.
Father.
Be nice to Mom.
And what have I done so wrong?
Still---Be a little nicer to her.
After what happened to Mom---
I don't think you should go to Hong Kong now.
This wouldn't have happened if you weren't separated.
You shouldn't stay separated---
Song-yi---
What am I supposed to do?
What should I do?
This is too hard---
How's Mother doing? She still can't use her right hand?
She's talking now and she's fine everywhere else,
but she still can't feel anything in her right hand.
She'll be fine. Don't worry too much.
I'll call you later.
Why? Is your mother-in-law sick?
Yes, a little.
That's why you look so down. Cheer up.
I never thought I'd hear those words from you. Thank you.
- Ms. Choi Mina. - Yes.
This is the application for the training program.
lt'll be hard work,
but it's a gateway to advancement in company.
You won't get a chance like this again.
Grab it when you can.
It seems your mother has cerebral hematoma.
What's that?
It's an abnormal collection of blood in the brain.
But her condition has been improving. It looks as if blood clots are thinning.
So why can't she move her right hand?
The paralysis could last even when the blood clot is removed.
We'll have to wait and see.
The soup looks delicious.
Not so much.
Don't drop any food.
You have to feed be properly.
You're basking in luxury now, aren't you?
- Father, let me do it. - It's all right.
I'll take care of your mother. Go back to work.
Don't worry about me. Go to work now.
Let me have your father feed me for change.
You don't want to do this, do you? But I guess you want to me alive
Be quiet. My arm hurts. Hurry up and finish.
Right!
- I've had enough now. - Eat a little more.
Why is he drinking in broad daylight?
I know. I hope he's not here to pick a fight with Soo-han.
I doubt that.
Welcome.
- Soo-han, is your mother all right? - Yes, she is.
But she still can't use her right hand.
How's business?
It's better when you're not here.
Soo-han--- Ji-hoon's father is here.
What brings you here?
I came to ask you something.
What?
I wanted to know how my wife was doing while I was away.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not suspicious of---
... you and my wife.
What made you curious all of a sudden?
My wife wants a divorce.
Was my wife having that hard a time?
You should know full well how lonely it gets when you're alone
in a foreign country since you've gone on lots of business trips.
She told me this once.
She felt out of place both in Korea and Japan.
And you know something?
She diligently learned Korean
so could talk to you in Korean.
She learned Korean so she could talk to you,
but you were too busy to talk to her.
She even said that?
Imagine how lonely she must've been to tell me those things.
I've learned something from being a housewife.
It's a torture to stay home by yourself.
Ever heard of the expression "prison without bars"?
Your home is like prison when there is no one to share love.
Understand?
Mom, are you going somewhere?
I'm going to see---my mom---
You're going to see Grandma? In Japan?
What about me?
You have to stay here with Dad.
I want to go with you.
Later--- We'll go later.
You know I love you very much, right?
Yes.
Even when I'm not here--- You have to eat well---
---and listen to Daddy and your mom---
Mom, do you have to go? Don't go, Mom.
Don't forget me.
I won't forget you either.
Don't forget me.
- Mommy! - Song-yi, did you have a nice day?
- Did you stop by the hospital? - I'm going to go after I change.
Read this.
- What's this? - The woman next door left it.
Yoo-jin?
I couldn't bring myself to face you, so I'm writing you a letter.
I'm sorry about everything, and I thank you for everything.
I was very lonely in Korea. But I could endure those days thanks to Soo-han.
To be honest, I didn't have a happy marriage.
Daddy, Mom went to Grandma's.
That's why I was so envious of you, who had a happy marriage.
But I'm very sorry since it seems
I have caused a problem between you.
I've come to learn You are the man who loves your family and his wife
I hope you remove your misunderstandings, and that your love will last forever.
Goodbye.
Mom. I'm sorry.
I haven't been a good son to you I'm always making you suffer---
It's my fault------ what happen to you---
Mom---
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm here.
Where is Father?
He went home to get a change of clothes for Mom.
I'll stay here. You go get some rest.
- It's all right. - Go.
- I'm not to go to Hong Kong. - What?
Why not?
We should have Mother come live with us once she's discharged.
Mina.
Since you can't be a good son, I should be a good daughter-in-law.
Thanks.
Thank you so much.
Stop that. Not in front of Mother.
Read it.
What is it?
You're coming now?
What are you doing out here? Who's staying with your mother?
Mina is here.
- Let's sit down for a minute. - Yes
You brought the Bible.
This will make your mother feel better.
Father---When Mother is discharged, you should come live with us.
Then you decided to get back together?
Yes.
Your hearts have to get back together, not just your bodies.
I won't ask you why you were separated.
You should be nicer to each other now that you decided to make up.
When your mother collapsed---
It made me look back on forty years of our marriage.
Mother, how are you feeling? Can you feel that?
Not really.
I know how hard it must be on you.
Soo-han says he's keeping house, but what can a man do?
It must be hard for you to work outside
and come home to housework at home.
No, Mother.
But I've learned that in the end,
it's your husband who'll stay with you until the end.
A husband and wife might go through more difficult times than happy times,
but you need someone to grow old with.
Mother, we're getting back together.
Really?
Thank you.
Mother, your hand.
The truth is, I was only pretending I can't move my hand.
What?
I was so angry with your father-in-law, I faked it to punish him.
But---
It's our secret.
Don't tell anyone. Not even Soo-han.
Yes.
- Hello, Father. - Yes.
I brought your Bible.
Thank you.
Read this and get better soon. Don't put the kids through this.
I know--- But I just can't move my right hand.
It's so nice to be home.
- How is your hand? - Not much better.
You're fine everywhere else. Why not your hand?
You're not faking it, are you?
Of course not. I'm not a kid.
Get some rest. I'll go pick up Song-yi.
- All right. - Bye.
Daddy!
Song-yi!
- Did you have fun? - Yes.
You must be bored without Ji-hoon.
You must be bored without his Mom. I know everything.
Come here.
Let's take a picture.
You look good.
Honey, don't I look puffy?
I ate ramen before bed, and now I'm all puffy.
No, you're not. You're so beautiful I can't even look at you.
Really?
Oden, why can't you look at her?
Don't call him that.
It's all right. He'll get better.
Here we go.
Kang-ja, let's live happily together for a long time.
Yes, Honey---let's live---
You're dead if you ever fool around on me.
- Will you take these to Director Kim? - Yes, sir.
Everyone, thank you for everything.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Not at all.
We've been imposing on you. I'm disappointed you're leaving us.
Goodbye. No hard feelings, right?
Goodbye. I think I can see you with a lighter heart when I see you again.
I've matured a lot too.
- Bye. - Stay healthy.
- Bye. - I'm sorry you have to leave.
This is the last time I'd be sitting here like this.
Yes---
Are you preparing to leave for Hong Kong?
I decided---not to go.
Why not?
- Mr. Koo didn't approve? - No
He'd let me go if I insisted.
So why wouldn't you go?
My mother-in-law had a stroke recently.
The first thing that came to my mind when it happened was---
"l guess I can't go to the training program now."
I even surprised myself.
I'm a terrible person---
Why is that bad? People are all the same.
Yes.
But whether my mother-in-law is sick or not,
I came to realize the important thing for me right now
is to stay with my family.
Our whole family went through some tough times lately.
I thought my success would benefit our family,
but maybe it was just my greed.
You're a good person.
What?
You're the nicest woman I've met.
There are many nicer women out there.
And when you meet that someone, hold on to her.
All right. I'll do that.
- And about that training program--- - Yes.
Think it over. Your whole family could tell you to go.
I doubt that'll ever happen.
You never know.
Let's go home and have lunch with Grandma and Grandpa.
I'll make bean paste stew for you.
- You can't. - Why not?
Grandpa doesn't like you working in the kitchen.
"A man shouldn't be wearing an apron, cooing in the kitchen!"
It's all right.
Grandpa has to get used to seeing me in the kitchen.
- Be careful. - Yes.
She's very pretty.
She looks a lot like both of you.
She is our daughter.
What brings you here?
I'm leaving.
I came to say goodbye, and I have a favor to ask you.
What do you mean?
Let me apologize if I had upset you in anyway.
Please consider it fate, and be understanding.
And Ms. Choi Mina is a great woman.
She's never spared me a glance.
That's only natural.
I trust my wife.
Yes, that's why I'm saying this---
I wish you'd send her to the training program.
I'm sure she wants to go.
I beg you.
Shouldn't I ask you that favor?
I was going to ask you to persuade her
when she told me she wasn't going.
She's so stubborn she wouldn't listen to me.
Well, now that you're leaving--- Let's shake hands.
Yes.
You've grown some heart now.
I owe it to you.
Are you all right?
I'm really sorry.
This must be an expensive car.
I was sent to a store because of nepotism at work.
Please help me.
Are you soliciting a favor from me now?
Pardon?
Start tomorrow.
If you prove yourself, I'll hire you as a permanent employee.
Thank you. I'll work hard.
Of course it would hurt when I'm poking your skin.
Give me your hand.
I won! Five dollars.
Really?
Congratulations.
Let's buy more lottery tickets with this.
Here. Present.
I'm married.
That's why I'm leaving.
Where?
I'm going to work for headquarters in America.
What are you doing out here?
I was waiting for my lovely wife.
What's with all this sweet talk?
Don't worry. I didn't get into any trouble.
Then what is it?
You should go to Hong Kong.
I said I'm not going.
Go. I think you should.
I think you should. You'll get promoted faster if you go.
So you can make me work for life?
Of course. Why should I waste my competent wife?
I don't want to go.
I've already made up my mind.
Just go when I'm telling you to go.
If you don't go to Hong Kong, I might quit the restaurant and find a job.
And then, you have to stay home. Everything back to square one.
Got that? What got into you?
I'm telling you to go.
Why are you two fighting again? Do you want to see that I collapse too?
That's not it, Mother.
I'm telling her to go to Hong Kong, but she's saying she wouldn't go.
Go if he's telling you to go. What's the problem?
You wanted to go.
There's something fish about him insisting that I go.
Why are you so suspicious?
- I'm not a trouble guy - You've been the case so far.
Be quiet! Go. Go when he's telling you to go.
Then I'm really going to go.
Go. I beg you.
Grandma, you used your right hand.
I thought it was getting better--- but it's not.
When can I use it again?
You should keep trying. The doctor said to keep massaging the hand.
Yes, I'm massaging it.
Aren't you hungry?
Kids will be home soon. Hang in there.
You can't make dinner.
Who knows when they'll be home? I'm about to pass out from hunger.
This juice can't fill me up.
I'm starving.
You're the worst boss.
You should wear that apron. You'll stain your clothes.
Don't be silly. A man can't wear an apron---
See that? Wear that apron.
That stain will never come out.
Stop nagging! I'll wear the apron.
I'll get it. Who is it?
Mother, it's me.
Yes.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
- Yes, you must be tired. - Have you been good time?
Mom, Mother-in-law is here.
- Hello. - How are you?
Are you feeling any better?
Yes, I've gotten a lot better.
- Hello. - How are you?
Father. You're wearing an apron.
I was getting dinner for your mother---
I'll do it.
A woman can't come in the kitchen.
We men will make dinner tonight.
Ladies, go and get some rest.
That's right
- Is that okay with you, Father? - Yes---
But Father, you look great in an apron.
You didn't even warm up the stew.
The stove wouldn't come on.
The valve is closed.
You have to turn this on.
It was closed?
Daddy didn't know that too at first.
Like father like son.
Father, you can't put the whole container like this.
You have to just serve
enough on a plate.
I know that. I couldn't find any plates.
Don't be so hard on him.
Today is his first day.
Just open the cupboards and you can find plates.
And the knife and cutting boards are here.
You have to cut them in bite sizes.
- You need gloves? - No, it's all right.
See, if I'm doing this right.
- Did you wash your hands? - Yes.
Song-yi, be a good girl,
and speak up if you have to poop.
Don't get constipated again, okay?
All right. I'm more worried about Dad.
Why were you worried about me? I'm worried about your mom.
She's so clumsy I'm worried she'd get lost in Hong Kong.
I'm not clumsy.
You'd better not let your eyes wander.
Song-yi, what do you have to do when his eyes wander?
- Beep. - Beep.
You shouldn't teach those things to children.
I learned it from you.
Take this.
- What's this? - First aid kit.
You're always catching colds.
Cold medicine.
Medicine for headaches.
Vitamin C,
bandages---
and you really need this.
For constipation.
And I was too busy to pack a picture of Song-yi and me.
You even packed these for me?
You think I did it for someone else?
We've never been apart for so long
since we got married
You're not leaving for good.
Three months will pass just like that.
Still--- I feel weird leaving---
You think I'm happy? I'll be a widower.
Thanks. I'll be really good to you
when I come back.
That's all! You've supported your foolish husband until now.
Go and do a good job.
I'll work hard here too.
Yes.
Song-yi, you have to be a good girl while I'm away.
All right. Call me when you miss me.
Yes.
My precious Song-yi.
Bye.
I love you, Mina.
What?
I love you.
Mina, good luck.
- Pasha. - Pasha!
Soo-han, Koo Song-yi.
Pasha.
We didn't hire a top star to endorse our new pizza.
It goes to show you we have confidence in our product.
- Thin and crisp--- - When Mom came back
from Hong Kong, she was put in charge of marketing the new pizza.
She's very happy to be doing
the work she's good at.
I'm confident this ad will also upgrade
the image of our company.
That's it.
My little sibling is growing inside Mommy's tummy.
When I asked when she got the baby,
Daddy said it's because of fireworks,
but I'm not sure what he means.
- There are pictures too. - Well, It's photo
- Chief - What a cool guy he is
This man who got punched by Daddy
sent baby clothes to Mommy.
And this lady who used to bothering Mom also went to America.
I think they became friends.
Welcome.
It's there
Well, It's empty
Dad's and Uncle Suk-joon's restaurant almost closed down
when a bigger chitterling restaurant opened next door,
but they survived
when they fought back with taste.
It looks good.
You should lose some weight.
I never thought we'd have a baby soon.
Fireworks that night made our baby.
As Fireworks---
Mom, how did fireworks make a baby?
You'll find out when you grow up.
And Jae-min's mom's stomach got big like Mom's too.
Jae-min will soon have a baby sibling too.
Uncle Suk-joon is always smiling.
Uncle!
Mister, beep!
- Hello. - Hi.
- Hi, Ji-hoon. - Hi.
You must be shopping for dinner.
I thought I'd make Chicken Dori
You mean hot and spicy chicken.
A Japanese word 'Dori' means a Chicken
So Chicken Dori means Chicken, Chicken soup
You even know that?
And these carrots, onions and potatoes---
You should buy unpeeled vegetables.
And this is too much.
But this is cheaper.
You don't know any better, do you?
You'll end up throwing them away if you can't finish them.
You don't even have a big family.
We have special on fresh cucumbers.
You can buy six cucumbers for
...$2 for next 20 minutes only.
It's chance! Sir,
- Do you like cucumbers? - I do.
- Then run. - Why?
Just run!
Ji-hoon and his father said they're going to Japan to his mom.
Daddy told them to be really good to her this time,
but he looked a little lonely.
I'll make you strong. I'll come to your help---
Really my just---
Slow down. I'm not a typewriter.
Write faster. We can't finish it at this rate.
Start from the beginning.
What comes after "I'll come to your help"?
I'll help you with my rightful hand
Grandma is writing down verses from the Bible
so Grandma won't get sick.
He even wears an apron and goes in the kitchen sometimes.
Singing Singing frog
is pooping---
I can go to the bathroom now without Dad's poop song for me.
They say people adapt in every condition.
I guess I'm good at adapting, just like Dad.
Mina, go and get the laundry.
Must you fart like that any old time?
I told you it's not me, but the baby.
And it's your day to do the laundry.
It's your turn to do the laundry.
I have to take out the trash today.
- You're wrong. - I'm wrong?
You want to see?
See, right here.
We promise to split house chores in half.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday---
- Room--- - All right.
Be quiet.
We promised half all our responsibilities. Money, house chores, raising kids.
Do you realize I'm doing bulk of the work?
You'll see how tough it is when you get pregnant.
You have to keep moving
so you'll have an easy labor.
And you won't even hear of buying a dishwasher.
"Housewife's eczema" is an incurable disease.
How much are you netting at the restaurant?
You said the competition has affected the business.
Nothing has changed for Mom and Dad.
They're always fighting and making up.
But I think they love each other much more than before.
And I must be all grown up to have these thoughts.
Mom, toilet paper.
You really don't understand how I feel.
Dad, toilet paper.
Of course I do.
Mom, Dad, you fart heads!
What's this smell? Something is burning.
Nothing is burning.
Smell it.
The stew!
"Mr. Housewife" really ended?
We have nothing to look forward to now.
Suffering from depression with the end of "Mr. Housewife"?
Don't worry!
Go for a walk with your family on your days off.
Their smiles will make you more happier
But what should I do if I'm still depressed?
If you're still depressed,
make a fist and yell out loud.
Pasha!
