Episode 7
A spicy fish eggs hot pot cannot become Ramen.
Rawr!
.
Look at this, Yang. It looks like an alien, this is what I like.
It's really popular.
This? It's the first time I've seen it.
You can't eat this stuff with sophistication.
How should I eat it?

It's good. It's good.
Yum.
A refreshing ingredient that has a nice scent,
is a spicy Thai chili and you just add
and boil up nicely.
It'll all be done just like that.
Spicy fish eggs hot pot not only has protein, but is also full of lecithin.
So on a relaxing weekend day like today,
why don't you have a bowl of hot and spicy fish eggs hot pot?
♫ Today too I'm laughing ♫
♫ What I don't have is merit ♫
♫ What I do have is youth ♫
♫ Opening my two arms and ♫
♫ Embracing the whole world ♫
Who are you?
They're my parents.
Father...
Who? Who's your father? Me?
I am saying this for the sake of caution, because
you might possibly look down on my daughter and toy with her feelings.
To tell you about my daughter Yang,
she is the descendant of Munhwa Yoo Clan,
and from the time she was born everyone in town knew about her intelligence.
An ivy league school called Munhwa University
was the place she enrolled while receiving a scholarship.
So what I am saying is this. She was a very very smart and superb kid.
And to tell you about our household, the Yoo Clan
goes all the way back to Goryeo Dynasty, during the time of Emperor Wang Geon.
When he conquered Later Paekche Dynasty, he put so much effort into it that,
and he became a founding contributor for Joseon Dynasty. Well, we will talk more about that next time.
Yes.
What is the origin of your family?
Well, I am of Miryang Park Clan
And the founder of the Park Clan was Park Heyok Geo Sae.
The game is over then. How can you beat someone that's a descendant of Hyeok Geo Sae?
It hurts!
I should totally beat the crap out of you girl.
What do you do for a living?
I uh I... a game.
Game?
Computer game?
Yes, that kind of game... on the smartphone...
You are over 30 but you're still into only playing computer games
so what I'm saying is can you even feed yourself by doing just that?
By chance, how much wealth does your family have?
Well, in Miryang we have 5000 pyong (4 acres)...
5,000 pyong...
She met the right one.
A high voltage wire passes through it.
A high—? Oh my.
Okay, then. How many siblings?
I have an older brother.
An older brother? So that means the two brothers can possibly fight over the assets.
But that means our little girl won't have to take care of the parents.
They immigrated to Canada.
I have nothing to say even if you want to slap my face with this squid.
All parents feel the same.
If I had a pretty daughter like Yang, I would raise her like this.
Let's get married.
What?
Yang, why don't you like marriage?
If two people like each other, isn't it enough to just date and sleep together?
What?
in my mind, legally raising a family and giving birth to babies and stuff
is just a way to maintain this society (status quo).
They don't allow a person to freely think for themselves.
You just work your butt off while you have nothing but tons of offspring.
A system to just feed the elderly population.
This seems like nothing but a device for things like that.
On top of that it's too much to live by yourself too.
And there is a life where they just send you off, like some package, to a family you have never ever seen before since the day you were born.
Isn't that too tiring?
But it's lonely if you don't have a family when growing old.
For example, I myself am not able to help my lonely parents at all here.
They worked really hard to raise me, but look at me now. I am not being a help to my parents, but instead I am just living however I want to.
I think it's better to chose to be lonely than to make people go through the pain for no good reason.
A person like me isn't about having a baby that I need to look after, but I think I might just need someone I can slave around.
Alright.
A freedom where I don't have to make my child come into this world and suffer through this thing called life.
I am giving a gift called freedom to the child.
I should say that this is a bit paradoxical because it's like showing the best love a mother can give.
I think I was very cool just now.
I need to write this down. Omo.
I need to write it down.
Life is like that
We should go make that hot pot.
Oh yeah.
How much pollack does it take to make all of this?
You guys are lucky too. Whether you are a pollack or a human, life is still equally weary.
Park Byeong, what should I start with?
Park Byeong!
I don't know how to make spicy fish egg hot pot.
I guess I should just put it in my ramyun.
It's a bit salty though.
I should have just made this into spicy fish eggs soup. This is such a waste.
♫ When I disappear ♫
Whether it's a hungry late night or a morning filled with heartburn,
I can go buy ramen whenever I need it.
I always thought that having a boyfriend is a simple existence like this ramen.
I finally realized that Park Byeong is not ramen but a precious spicy fish egg soup.
Let's get married.
Whenever I am with you this whole world becomes very special to me.
You seemed like an alien. Queen Alien.
To others, an alien is a monsterous being, but to me, it's a very precious
and special being.
But still, why an alien.
Aliens are fine.
