- Kyong-soo! - Yes?
Can you take a picture of Mi-young to put on our food cart homepage?
- This way. - She wants to take a picture now?
- What are you doing? - Okay...
GUEST MODEL: JANG Ml-YOUNG, THE SCARF LADY
Don't be nervous. Just walk as you practiced.
Don't be nervous. Just breathe.
Mi-young, it's your turn to go out.
Hey, lady, good luck!
- You did very well! - Really?
Yes, you were so good!
Wasn't that Kot-bi's mom?
l know clothes can make the person, but she looked completely different!
- Hello? - Are you coming home late tonight?
No, l...
Then come home early and make kimchi.
You should learn how to make it.
Okay.
Why? Something come up at home?
My mother-in-law wants me to come home early to make kimchi.
This is a very famous product.
The camomile scent is refreshing.
lt's very delicate. Help us get the exclusive rights.
l'll try, but l don't know if it's possible. They probably want to have their own agent here.
lf possible, could you make it happen for us?
l'll try, since l have contacts with their upper management.
l think we'd have it easier if we could get the sole distribution rights.
l think it'll work out well.
Did you know that Mi-young opened a food cart?
She's become somewhat of a celebrity, thanks to that article on the lnternet.
And her business has been good because of the article.
My sister lives in the area, and she orders takeout sometimes.
- We're home! - Hi!
Look at all the garlics l peeled.
Why did you peel so much? You didn't have to do that.
l should help.
After all, you make me breakfast every morning.
Besides l have nothing better to do.
Thank you.
Well, did you set up the date for me so l can meet her?
You saw how rigid she is. Do you think she'll show up?
Then what am l going to do?
You've gotten me all excited to meet her!
l don't even sleep at night!
My heart skips a beat when l think of her!
You can't rush this sort of thing. Remember, step by step!
Step by step, my eye! Do something!
Don't rush it. Go to the restaurant every day at the same time.
Order yourself a cold noodle.
Then after you finish, gently tell her you enjoyed the food.
Give her a strong stare.
l can't go there and eat noodles every day!
Besides, the noodles cost $6!
You know how much that comes to if l eat them every day?
Eva Gardner.
Eva Gardner?
Are you worried about your kids?
No news is good news. Don't worry too much.
Let's go.
Mom, it's me, Kot-bi.
l can send you text messages with the home phone.
Mom, l'm not sick anymore, so don't worry.
- Mom, l love you. - Me too.
l love you too.
Welcome.
Would you like kimchi potato stew?
You're the Scarf Lady!
You're even prettier in person!
Would you like some kimchi potato stew?
Yes, please! A large portion, please. And some soju.
One stew and one soju!
l'm home.
- Did you have a nice day? - Yes.
Change into comfortable clothes and come down.
Okay.
Why aren't you coming out?
Coming!
l'll do it, Mother.
My waist!
How are you going to work dressed like that?
What?
Don't you have any elastic waist pants?
- No, l don't... - Give me a minute.
l'm sorry, but we're closed.
We're closed because we ran out of ingredients.
Yes, we'll deliver it in a flash when you give us a call tomorrow.
So today's the last day of our trial period.
- How much did we sell today? - Today we sold $780!
That means we sold more than our promised amount.
lt's $13,500.
She said she'd give us her full support if we sold more than $10,000 in 15 days.
l was thinking we should open a small restaurant.
The food cart has its limits.
Let's open a factory too.
What are you talking about?
Let's lease a small factory, and really get into the business.
A factory?
Running a factory seems too far out of our league.
Don't think of it as being out of reach for us.
There are lots of factories that aren't running because of the bad economy.
We could lease one for a low deposit and low rent.
- Factories can be rented? - Sure!
Running our business at this size has its limits.
We've been staying up nights to make the stew,
and we even had to get the landlord to help us deliver to the cafeteria.
And we had to turn down takeout orders.
That's true. Making kimchi every day is a lot of work.
Look at these hands! They look like a housewife's, not a man's!
- Slice the radish. - Okay.
You can't get the pepper stain out of clothes.
That's why comfortable clothes are the best.
Yes...
Did you cut your finger? l knew it...
l'm home.
What's wrong?
You're not even used to using a knife...
Let me see.
- You need to put some ointment on it! - l'm okay.
lt's not okay! Come here!
This is the taste l was craving!
l couldn't make it like this in America because the cabbage there tastes different.
l could eat a whole bowl of rice with just this!
You must be hungry. The rice is almost done.
lt's a deep cut.
You should get some rest. l'll help.
No, Mother wouldn't be pleased.
Then l'll at least vacuum.
Kot-bi doesn't get sick easily, but she comes down with the flu once a year.
So make sure she gets a flu shot.
She's afraid of shots, so she'll be reluctant.
Make Dan-bi get the shot first, and then have her go after him.
Dan-bi's not afraid of shots.
The kids aren't picky eaters.
But they're allergic to mushrooms, and they'll throw up if they eat them.
Dan-bi's feet are different sizes.
So take out the padding when his shoes are washed.
And buy his shoes to fit his right foot.
Dan-bi asks for his baby blanket when he wakes up from a bad dream.
When he wakes up, read him the book we read him at the villa.
Yon-jung.
You did well.
What's wrong with me?
There are places in Texas where they still don't have electricity,
and there's no asphalt on the ground. They still ride horses to get around!
l would've stayed there if l could speak English.
- l couldn't learn it because l'm old... - l see...
Why aren't you helping me peel the garlic?
That kid...
Why did l have a weird dream?
l'll tell you about my life in America again next time.
lt sounds very interesting.
l went to a lot of bother.
Where did you run off to without helping me peel the garlic?
- Peel the garlic - All right.
You never listened to your mother growing up, did you?
You should listen to your elders.
lt's all good.
Jae-won, any news from Francois?
This is Song Jae-won. Were the items sent?
Yes, l'll wire the money immediately. Thank you.
Well?
They'll send the fax in one hour.
So it's finally working out for us! l thought we might not get it.
We have to send this money by wire transfer as soon as we get the fax.
We've put our entire assets into this.
Don't worry, it'll sell like hotcakes!
- Let's sell it all in one shot! - Great!
Where's Ms. Yang?
May l come in?
Come in.
Here.
Here are the sales receipts and the money from the last 15 days.
Total sales were $13,500
and we're paying you back for the money you loaned us to buy ingredients.
We want to open a restaurant and a small factory.
This is the business plan.
What about collateral?
l don't have any.
lt's not easy to run a manufacturing factory.
lt could fold overnight because of mistakes or changes in regulations.
lt's especially difficult in the food industry.
lt's nothing like running a small restaurant.
You said that 92 out of 100 people who get into the food business fail.
l want to be one of the 8 that succeed.
All right.
- Thank you! - l'll work hard!
- Working hard isn't good enough. - l'll do well!
So she wants to open her own kimchi potato stew restaurant and not work here anymore?
l'm happy those two are going to be out of my sight.
But Ms. Yang's going to give her full support for their business.
ls this good news or bad news for us?
l'm going to the temple.
Why are you going to the temple all of a sudden?
See you later.
Kyong-soo! We have to look for a factory!
Did she really say she'd support us?
Yes! l can't believe it.
That's great!
- Are you upset with me about something? - No.
Hello!
- Where did she go? - She went to the temple.
Temple? What temple?
May the poor soul rest in peace...
- Aren't you the owner of Hyo Jung Ok? - Yes...
How nice to run into you here!
l came to enjoy the beauty of the leaves.
What a coincidence running into you here.
Since we're here anyway, would you like to have some tea with me?
Let's go.
Drink this.
When we were young...
Some 40 years ago, there was this movie called ''The Night of the lguana.''
lt starred Ava Gardner, Richard Burton and Deborah Kerr.
Ava Gardner gets widowed at such a young age,
living in this island running a hotel.
She spends so many long and lonely nights...
She had all this passion deep in her heart with no one to share this feeling with.
Then when Richard Burton suddenly shows up and tells her ''l love you''...
She responds with burning desire in her eyes...
This is the critical part. You have to finish listening to this...
Let's have a cup of tea.
- Your mother-in-law still at your house? - Yes.
Too bad she's staying with you when you're still newlyweds.
What are you going to do about golfing this weekend?
l have to let the others know.
She wouldn't be pleased with my going out on the weekend.
This is why they say living with a mother-in-law is hard.
l shouldn't upset you by going on.
Myong-ok, do you want to use this?
What is it?
Hey!
lsn't this that famous item?
Min-suk's going to import this.
l've seen people bring this from France.
Min-suk's got distribution rights?
How impressive!
We should include this in the anniversary show. Would he have enough?
Yes, but the anniversary show's just days away.
Tell him l want all of it for our show!
No, l should go talk to him personally!
Thank you!
What is that jerk doing here?
- Give us some soju. - Here's your stew!
Take the stew!
What's wrong with me?
Am l that desperate?
lt's me!
How have you been?
Meet me later at the usual place.
Okay.
Nam Kyong-soo, come to your senses!
Hey lady!
Are you sick?
What's wrong?
- Call a taxi. - What's wrong with her?
Hurry!
- How is she? - The doctor will be here soon.
Mom!
Dan-bi, did you have a bad dream?
Mom...
Come to Daddy.
Mom...
lt's all right.
Dad.
- Are you awake? - ls Dan-bi crying?
He had a bad dream. Go back to sleep.
Mom...
What happened?
She's suffering from fatigue.
Her body's finally given up from exhaustion.
She's had a rough time since she got divorced.
Don't get up.
l'm all right. lt's just bodyaches.
You should've told me you weren't feeling well.
l thought l'd feel better, since l took some medicine.
Are you an idiot?
You're not made of steel! You should've said you were sick!
You should've taken the day off!
Why are you yelling at me?
Because you're so frustrating!
Kyung-hee...
What happened?
l thought you were dead.
The police brought your belongings.
l collapsed and was brought here. l lost my things then.
l guess a homeless person picked up my things.
Are you all right?
lt was just exhaustion.
You should be careful. You gave me quite a scare.
Why are you so stubborn?
Why are you yelling?
No one's deaf here.
Why would l want to be hospitalized when it's just exhaustion?
lt's not that expensive! l'll pay your hospital bills!
Why would you pay my bills?
Besides, l can't stay lying down.
l have to look for a factory!
That's enough.
You should go in and rest. l'll make porridge.
- lt's porridge for breakfast. - Porridge sounds good.
Father...
- Are you ready? - Yes.
Go throw this out.
Give it to me. She shouldn't get her clothes dirty.
- What? - l'll throw it out.
- Let's go. - l'll be back.
Bye, Grandma.
- Bye, my puppies! - Bye.
- One more time. - One, two, three!
His father looks rich.
l wonder why Kyong-soo's been living here...
There must be a reason.
lt's hot!
How much longer are you going to live like this?
Did you talk to your granduncle or not?
- l did. - But?
Dad, l like my life right now.
What's there to like when you take odd jobs to support yourself,
and you live in a one-room rooftop apartment?
l'm gaining valuable life experiences that can't even be bought with money.
l don't want to live a mundane life in a suit.
That's enough.
lt's been 3 years since you stopped studying for the bar.
l ranked 999 out of 1000!
That's why l want you to work at your granduncle's law firm.
That's not fair!
l don't want a job when l'm not qualified for the position!
He was actually studying to be a lawyer?
You make good coffee.
You said Kyong-soo was your neighbor who worked at a video store?
Yes.
Do you know what he used to do before that?
Who knows...? He probably wasn't doing anything productive.
Are you pretending to not know he likes you, or do you really not know?
What in the world are you talking about?
- What are you doing? - Look over there.
What are you going to do?
Do we have to consult with an agency about opening our own factory?
You can bake a cake at home.
But when you order it from a bakery, they bake one perfect for the occasion.
lt's the account l opened for you.
Please don't hesitate to come whenever you need our assistance.
l'll make you my priority.
We're going to lease a factory now, but we plan to buy our own someday.
So we want to invest part of the profits to make our money grow.
Then why don't we invest 80º/º in bonds and 20º/º in stocks?
You won't lose any of the principal...
l heard that his wife's family owns our company.
Did he deliberately come here to give you a hard time?
He'd better not do anything to you! l'll sue him for sexual harassment.
Myong-ok, don't tell Min-suk for a while.
But how much longer do you think you can keep it from him?
He'll be making frequent visits for business.
l need time to think.
l'm going to emphasize this one more time!
The most important thing in the food business is cleanliness.
Cleanliness represents the company!
That's not loud enough! One more time.
Cleanliness represents the company!
Okay!
Myung-soon seems like a very good worker.
lt's hard to hire good people these days.
She told me she wanted to move to Seoul to be close to her son's hospital.
Cleanliness represents the company!
Doesn't it have a familiar ring to it?
Mi-young!
- l'm here too! - Manager Kim!
Congratulations, Mi-young.
Or should l say ''President Jang''?
- Thank you. - Who is he?
He's the manager of the hotel l used to work for.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
l'm surprised that you all came.
Aren't you glad to see us?
Sure l am, but who's working at the hotel?
l don't know. Maybe the Three Musketeers?
Stop kidding around.
- Mi-young, we're here today on business. - What?
l served your stew to my dad and he loved it!
So our hotel restaurant is adding it to the menu!
- Really? - Sure!
They were actually trying to add some items to the Korean restaurant menu.
- And l strongly recommended the stew! - So did l!
- ls that true? - Sure!
Thank you!
They're all here already?
What's wrong?
lt's not the item we bought!
This isn't it!
What's going on?
We have to be calm.
Min-suk, what's the meaning of this?
We should go back to the office and call.
Give it to me.
Mr. Le Blanc? This is Song Jae-won.
Can you get in touch with Francois?
What?
No, No!
What did he say? Did he say there's been a mistake?
What did he say?
What?
He's been receiving lots of calls asking where Francois is.
But he doesn't know where he is!
What does that mean?
He conned us!
l'd better go.
Call me as soon as you arrive in Paris!
But our item is going to be on the home
lt's going to be on tomorrow's show, and you don't have the product yet?
You can go now.
Have you been waiting long?
Call me as soon as you arrive.
Okay, l'll be back.
