Childless Comfort - Episode 17
What are you doing?
Take your jacket off.
What are you doing?
- Aren't you hungry? - Yes I am.
- I'm making dinner. - Didn't you want to drink?
You can't drink on an empty stomach.
- Why are you cooling the rice? - I'm making sushi.
- Yourself? - Yes.
Sit.
- Just order some. - It's simple, I can do it.
Can I help?
Come and cool the rice.
Nice and soft.
Eat this and then sushi.
Sit down.
Are you tired?
Why are just starring off?
When have you ever cooked?
My hobby is house work.
You must be impressed.
Yes you should be.
Pour some.
You've only seen me drink.
I know.
Cheers.
Thanks for pretending to be my fiancé.
Did you plan this?
No it's not.
I just stopped by the store downstairs and got some groceries.
I just made it because I wanted to eat it.
I was suspecting this was a trap, I guess not thanks.
No the name before you eat it, crab sassafras soup.
It's rude to the food.
I've eaten this before.
How was is it?
- It's good. - Hey.
What?
- Stop being nervous. - I'm not.
- Why would I be? - Yes you are.
This is just a thank you for pretending to be my fiancé.
- I know. - I won't seduce you.
I can't be seduced.
Jerk you're funny.
You're acting like I planned this out to seduce you.
Stop over reacting I'm not nervous.
- This is all in your head. - Wait.
I almost forgot, hold on.
- What is it? - Open it here.
Act surprised and touched, got it?
I just told you what to do.
Why are you giving me this?
You don't want me to pay you back the money.
I thought you meant to repay in another way.
This is a gift a girl gives a man.
- Are you a girl? - No.
Two people who like each other.
- Or a marriage present. - That is so tacky.
I love watches, I always give my new mean watches first.
You aren't that case though.
I bought it as something I would give my cousin, don't misunderstand.
Wear it.
- No one has watches anymore. - Wear it from time to time.
When you want to impress a girl.
It's not wildly expensive but it's a nice watch.
- Jerk, wear it. - I have a question.
What?
Was this the gift for that man you followed to America?
Just put it on jerk.
I don't want too.
I'll kill you if you make me go get the receipt.
Put if on or die.
Let me see it.
- Saw it. - I'm looking.
Give me your arm.
Say thank you superior.
Say it now!
I want some sushi now.
- It hurts. - Ok.
Stop moaning the kids will think we're doing something else.
- The kids are late. - What time is it?
10:15.
I'm tired but I can't sleep.
- Want some wine? - I'm too lazy.
- I'll go get it. - Are you sleeping?
No.
I came home and it was so empty.
- Get me some wine. - What about side dishes?
Thank you superior.
What are you doing?
I'm upset.
About what?
You got dumped and are the gangster superior.
You don't have any men or friends so you call your subordinate to drink.
You must be so lonely that you called me jerk.
I don't know if you just want me as a one night stand.
I don't know if this is clearly a superior subordinate relationship.
You don't know?
If you are interested in me.
Is it right to keep this going?
Or do I just drink and live?
I can't just ignore it.
And I don't want to sleep with you.
Why did you get drunk and start saying stupid things?
You're annoying, leave.
- You want me to go? - Yea.
Feeling guilty?
Why the hell would I care about you?
Stop messing around.
- Get up. - I'm not drunk.
Stop it!
Who is it?
I don't know.
- Who is it? - The door man.
- What is it? - You got a package.
The doorman earlier forgot.
This is from Jeju.
- Thank you. - And,
I need to close the boiler switch.
I came up but your maid told me to come later.
I will tell her tomorrow.
Or else the boiler will break.
- Thank you. - Good night.
Bye.
Put this in the storage room.
I'll tell them to make their own kimchi next year.
You said that last year.
You said that last last year too.
You're right.
Preparing everything.
It is so hard making everyone's.
It's too much work.
As long as your parents are alive there is nothing we can do.
Good thing we don't eat as much kimchi as we did before.
No need to make more.
When they pass,
- I will make them do mine. - Good idea.
- Where is he? - He's late.
Dae-gi's mom.
She is too mean to her daughter in law.
She is always like that why?
No.
The way she looks at her is cold.
I think a daughter in law would be great to have.
She's always like that.
- Hwi-myung likes her. - Yes he likes her a lot.
She was forced to accept her.
She isn't that bad to her.
It takes time for someone to open their heart.
Hwi-myung and her seem to be getting along now.
That is your last one.
I need to save it then.
Hyo-joo is tired and wants to sleep.
That's why I wanted us to drink.
Tell her to come.
Leave her, she's tired.
She said it was like a kimchi factory.
- She didn't do anything. - It was her first time watching too.
She ran errands all day, she would be tired.
Tell her to come.
Just leave her.
It's not like she can't drink.
If her father tells her to come she must.
I told her not to come, I'll tell her to come right now.
See she's coming, I told her to rest.
Sit down.
Here.
You're so rude.
- Honey. - You need to come out.
How can you say you don't want too?
Mother.
I try to understand you but I can't.
I know you two make good money, and aren't here to save.
You have to see us everyday.
You need to act like our daughter in law.
She's here, it's over.
No matter how well off you are you need to be respectful.
- Her feet are blistered. - Let me speak.
I never said that I wouldn't come out.
I was just putting some ointment on my feet.
He said it himself, not me.
I know you think that because you don't like me.
I don't like how you always accuse me of things.
You said she was tired and wanted to sleep.
- Mom. - That is true.
I never said that I wouldn't come out.
I was coming but Dae-gi said what he wanted first.
It was me who said that.
Forget it lets drink.
Why did you make me misunderstand?
Do you know what you did?
You cover for her and make me feel bad.
And make her hear a scolding.
- Fool. - Yes he is.
I'm always prepared to hear your misunderstandings.
He's not very smart.
You're always prepared,
to hear my misunderstandings?
Yes my bones can feel it now.
You're like that too.
You complain about me all the time.
My whole body aches whenever you speak to me that way.
Hey!
Father I need to drink.
Ok drink.
Sorry it's suffocating to play the role of the hated daughter in law.
Hyo-joo.
She isn't a bad person.
Her not liking you is in the past, she isn't doing this to bother you.
I think that your pride is worse than her.
Is that true?
Can't you stop talking back whenever I say something.
If you need to understand me, I need to explain myself.
- No daughter in law takes back. - She wasn't talking back.
- She's just explaining herself. - I've never seen a daughter in law like you.
You can't let things go!
- I.. - Say you're sorry.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to treat you as a daughter.
I wanted to call you mom and receive that love.
That is a good idea, you heard her right?
Mom you are too harsh.
- Lets go. - Stop it.
- That hurts. - Why did you bite him?!
Let me see.
- Let me see that bite. - I'm fine mom.
Who is it?
It's us.
My mother in law made pigs feet for us.
You're already drinking.
We brought soju to drink and eat.
Sounds good, lets drink it.
Lets start drinking again.
- Lets drink. - It's 11pm.
I told you it was too late.
That's why he checked to see if the living room light was on.
Bring some milk, it's so spicy that I need milk.
Ok.
It's already spicy.
You're nothing special.
- I was unimpressed. - I felt bad for you.
I couldn't turn down a woman.
Do you feel better?
- This was a mistake. - Do you feel better?
You tried to seduce me with wine and tight clothes.
- Do you feel better? - I feel like I was in an accident.
How long has it been for you?
You finished fast.
You're just strong, nothing else.
He,
is really late today.
Mom.
What?
- Is she sleeping? - Not yet, why?
- I want to see her. - Turn on the lights.
Lets sleep with mom.
- Bring the crib. - I'll get kicked out.
- Buy me one. - I don't have money.
- Buy her one. - It is so expensive.
You really are clueless.
- Dad, coffee. - Ok.
- Dad. - Yea.
- Sung-gi is here. - Really?
Whenever she moves, I would wake up.
My shoulder is sore, I must have slept wrong.
Why aren't you saying anything?
- What? - I'm home.
- You slept outside? - Yea.
Where?
Mom.
- Just out.. - You couldn't call.
Sorry.
- Who did you drink with? - Mom.
Grandparents don't know that you slept outside.
- Ok. - He's not a teenager.
They say I ruined you because I was too easy going.
Today won't be a good day.
Yes?
I'm home.
I drank.
- Was there a hard surgery? - No.
- Did you see mom? - Yes.
- Did she scold you? - That I didn't call.
- Why didn't you? - It was late, I didn't want to wake you.
- It's been a while, since you slept out. - Yes.
- I'm going up. - Lets talk later.
Ok.
- Yes? - When did you leave?
- Hold on. - What are you doing?
- Just wait. - Why are you getting annoyed?
- I said to wait, don't you understand? - Why do you need me to wait.
- I'm done. - What did you do?
- I was changing. - You left your shirt here.
I know.
- Did you leave it as a souvenir? - I didn't want to look for it.
It was in the sheets.
- When did you go? - Why do you care?
I fed you, gave you drinks, let you sleep here.
You just leave without a word?
- That was all worth what you spent. - I spent $3,000.
- How is that $3,000? - What about the wine?
You thought it was $20?
Why would you drink something so expensive?
Yea it seemed like you only drink cheap wine.
And we drank it together.
You drank most of it.
You slept weird too.
I don't remember, I slept on a tacky flower blanket.
That is my maid's blanket.
I put a blanket on you.
You complain about the flower blanket?
What are you doing?
- You will just ramble on.. - What about the watch?
Huh?
- We're not dating, it's weird. - I never asked to date you.
- I know. - Hang up.
- Eat more. - I don't feel like it.
Whenever I want to eat, it goes away.
I don't have an appetite today.
- Do you want something? - Grandma.
Go and mix this with bean paste.
- Ok. - I'll do it.
Tell her to do it.
I want one too.
Me too.
The care the food is made with makes it taste better.
- It's a difference that is there. - Yes father.
Mix it all up.
Don't put too much pepper paste.
And a little bit of sesame oil.
The oil smell is so strong it will ruin the taste of the other foods.
- Are you deaf? - Yes you're right.
- Are you deaf? - I've been with you for 60 years.
Why would I care what you have to say?
I don't want any!
Why would you say that to me?!
- How can you say that. - Ok, I'm sorry.
Everyone sit and eat.
Is he 5 years old?
I can't even say what I want.
- I don't know why, he is like that. - Is he sick?
Why are you here?
- Are you sick? - No I'm not.
Father.
She speaks to me so harshly.
Sometimes it really hurts my feelings.
Yes.
Father should we kick So-young out?
- It is uncomfortable for you to see. - You fool.
Father you need to eat.
Kids, grandpa is leaving.
Grandpa eat breakfast.
There is porridge and rice.
There is bean paste in there too.
And some tea.
It was packed while its hot.
And I biked here quickly.
May, you have 5 months left.
- Dad why.. - Who did you sleep with yesterday?
- It's not.. - Yes you did.
- Why aren't you like me? - Dad.
Girls everywhere, and biting into different things, what's wrong with you?
You think we're fools?
I know girls are all over you.
You need to stop playing around and get married now.
- Why? - Why are you being like this?
Grandpa is depressed with you guys.
Look at what So-young did to him.
He doesn't want to give up his dreams on you children.
He wants you to get married by May, ok?
- Dad. - Enough is enough.
You need to marry someone righteous like your mom.
- You don't like your mom? - Mom is..
We married with love, get married by spring.
No matter by May, if it's earlier than that we will think it's a dram.
Your mother and I will rejoice.
Got it?
- I don't want to get married. - Don't be so picky.
- At least 70% decent is fine. - No not that.
I don't ever want to get married.
- What? - I won't get married.
Why?!
Marriage is all the same. I don't want a family to be responsible for.
- I want to live freely. - Are you?! Are you?!
Ggg...
- Gay?! - What?
- Then why? - It's my choice.
No way out, no matter what happens you will get married!
Dad.
You haven't match your partner yet, I'm sure she will come out by May.
Honey.
- Did she poop? - Yes.
She was about to poop in the water, but mom said her face was weird.
Your mom is the master.
- She's sleeping? - Yes she is.
She doesn't like when you wake her.
- We don't like when we are woken. - I know.
Lets let the water cool.
I talked to Sung-gi he will marry by May.
- He will? - Of course.
- He has someone. - No he's not ready yet.
- Sung-gi? - Yes.
He isn't getting married.
- He doesn't want to be trapped. - What?
- Why does he think that? - A lot of men do.
A lot of men think that marriage isn't for them.
And a lot of women just want to date and never marry.
So Sung-gi is one of those men.
- He was true. - When did he say this?
3 years ago.
When you went to the steam pools.
- That was 2 year ago. - So marriage,
- is not his plan?! - He doesn't want too.
So what did you say?
It doesn't matter.
Of course it matters!
So we live under the law.
As a son he needs to get married and have children.
Why does he break that rule.
Dad if he doesn't marry,
that's his choice. No one can force him to.
I know that not getting married isn't illegal.
We are parents!
We have the right to expect that!
- That isn't a law. - It is our law!
He's just speaking nonsense.
Get up.
We have to see what he really means.
We need to stop him before his thinking gets worse!
- Don't over react. - This is a big deal!
Mom.
Wait!!!
He over reacts too much.
Sung-gi is serious.
He wasn't joking.
- So he sleeps around? - Mom that is different.
- Is he gay? - What?!
You really think that?
You already said you didn't want to get married!
- I did. - I did?
I did?
I thought about that since high school.
I don't want to be with one girl my whole life or have a child.
A lot of my friends tell me not to marry.
That marry is a burden, I want to live like a free bird.
Free bird, bull crap.
They are all married, why are they speaking?!
They should be divorced and say that!
A lot of them did.
I want to be alone, I can't stand getting married.
You don't know how wonderful it is to have someone waiting for you at home.
You need your significant other!
Bye dad.
- Where are you going? - I have a trainer waiting.
The gym is good but...
Bad boy.
- It's me. - Yes?
What are you doing?
- This is a critical center. - Why?
After making kimchi Sae-rom is sick.
I feel so bad, she had a fever.
She's was trembling.
We went to the e.r.
- She still has a fever. - Have some medicine Sae-rom.
- Wake up! - Baby medicine.
Get up.
- Ji-ae worked her so hard. - Stop that!
- I need to give her medicine. - Ok bye.
- I can't give you a cheaper price. - Ok then forget those.
Give me a box of apples.
- No wait. - Just listen.
Honey.
- We see them once a year. - Their kids will bring stuff.
All of them can't afford to bring anything.
- We bought meat. - That little thing?
This way.
- How much? - $54.
- Why is it so expensive? - No it's not.
- Take off $5. - No.
I have nothing left.
Rich people are worse.
- Do we have to clean every weekend? Yes my mom does.
No one cleans like that, they have swiffers for the floors.
There are steam cleaners too.
There is no where to even clean.
Don't you hate the plastic on the windows?
No one does that now a days.
Grandpa built this house, I guess it's drafty.
The heating bill will be lowered.
I can't even look out the window.
I get grandpa, but your parents are so old fashioned.
It's for the winter, our country says to save energy.
We need to rack the leaves.
- What?! - Mom couldn't do it.
The leaves aren't even falling.
- We can rack it later. - Our house will look messy.
Or a lazy house.
- I racked it every day. - Why doesn't,
- your dad do it? - We do it together.
I will do it myself.
Just go clean the phone or something.
This place is like a hospital.
- I love you! - Hate you!
What?
- Nothing. - I thought something happened.
Why would things happen all the time?
- How is grandpa? - He ate.
- Is he better now? - Yes.
Cars aren't coming to the gas station, he seemed upset.
It is busy and then free.
- Mom needs to go to the market. - Ok.
- Grandpa ate. - Ok.
- She's going now? - Yea.
- I need a car, get ready. - She will go herself.
She wants a date with her son.
- Mom going now? - Yes.
I need the car for mom.
Ok, ok.
Sae-rom is sick.
She went to the e.r.
She did all the work herself.
- Do you want anything? - Fat free yogurt.
Sung-gi is serious.
We won't die for $100.
Why spend $50 on fruits?!
So you won't but it for your own family?!
I only see them once a year.
Dae-gi doesn't call them either.
- He is better. - The kids are working hard.
- It's your family. - Forget it.
Oh yea.
You were mean when they called.
After that they stopped calling.
- They don't need us. - Meat is better.
A whole box of apples.
Then you would have $30 left.
You sure spent a lot.
It's your own family.
- You gave my mom a $50. - Stop bringing it up.
You are really stingy.
I wanted to give my brother $3,000 what did you say?
Why would we even consider that?
Why would I spend that on them?
There is no need.
My family drinks and she gives it to her kids.
- What about the surgery? - She has 4 kids.
- We have them $500. - Forget it!
You are so stingy.
You are really something.
Stingy for life.
It's better than not having money.
That one is better.
Which one?
- This one. - Hello mam.
Hello Professor.
You came to get groceries?
- How are you? - Hello mam.
It seemed like it was you.
- Good to see you. - Yes it is.
- I wanted some fish soup. - I see.
It's fish season.
- Fish. - Me too.
- We need 2. - Yes grandma.
- Yes? - Don't call her grandma.
I'm sorry madam.
I am a grandma.
Mam I will send some oysters for you.
My student sends me some and I sent some to your house.
I was going to tell you later.
It will come soon, I always burden you.
I can't repay you.
No need to say that.
Making some soup?
Yes I will.
Ok.
He smiles everyday,
he is depressed lately.
Yes.
- Lets go to the Chinese herb clinic. - Ok.
Why did you send it to the dry cleaners?
- It's not much. - It doesn't matter.
Money is sacred.
You think that a millionaire,
are stingy cause they have no money?
- That's how they become millionaires. - We won't become that with dry cleaning.
1 month, $281 and one year that is $3,000.
Is that nothing?
- How did you calculate that? - And in 10 years?
Over $30,000.
You just waste money.
I just want to rest and not deal with it.
- I will pay for it. - Of course you will.
- You wanted me too? - No.
We will pay so don't worry.
- Waste is a waste. - It's free time for me.
Now what?
- It's nothing. - What?
- Nothing. - Come here.
The rice is hard.
- Dae-gi said to put more. - Lets do this.
I will do the ironing, give the money to me.
- I get money. - You get free time.
If you want.
I can do 10 in 30 minutes.
It hurts.
I know you are, your throat is red.
Its so swollen.
I want ice water.
It's cool now.
- It's not. - To me it is.
I want ice cream.
Then you will get diarrhea.
How about peach juice.
- No.. - Come eat.
Go and eat.
- After I feed her. - Just go and eat.
- The soup will get cold. - He has to take care of me.
- I'm sick. - You won't die.
Stop whining and let him eat.
I'm fine.
- You eat first. - I need to go work out.
- You're working out? - You're not dying.
- Thank you. - Bye.
- What is that? - Professor sent it over.
He sent some food over.
We met him at the market and it came right now.
- Why? - Because he is thankful.
- You met at the market? - Yes.
He came to the market.
Joong-gi, never mind.
Grandpa dinner is ready.
Sung-gi, you too.
You made fish stew.
- Eat it and feel better. - I'm not an old cow.
- What's that? - Cod stew.
You planned to meet at the market?
- Its really good. - Yes it is.
Father it was a coincidence.
The cod was good and mother saw it,
and I wanted some too.
- I was just kidding. - I see.
Did you hear me?
Are you deaf?
Just eat.
You gave him some kimchi?
- Did you? - I will send him some.
Give him some peppers too.
He will eat later.
What did he do yesterday?
- Give me the baby. - I will do it.
Hello?
It's In-cheol's sister.
Come meet us, my mom wants to talk to you.
So come and explain.
I'll be right there.
Who is it?
The mother.
I'm going crazy.
Wait, I'm coming.
- Who did you meet? - You are changing the agreement?
An unmarried woman had a baby.
- Look at what you kid did! - You had a bastard baby!
- Look her! - Did she eat?
- You're awake. - $1 for a white shirt.
I thought he would be a good dad.
- You would date him? - He's 7 years younger.
When did you tell your age?
You didn't call.
- We're you waiting? - Don't kid yourself.
Why do I need ot marry?
- Bring her to the house. - We will run out if he knows.
