[A Bird That Doesn't Sing]
[Episode 8] Grandma taught me Korean.
She did?
I guess we had a guest.
I've been wanting to meet you, and we finally meet.
Hello.
She's the next door lady.
Hello.
This is Princess Min Ji from next door.
Hi, nice to meet you, Min Ji.
I knew we had a little girl visitor, but I had no idea you would be so pretty.
Thank you for everything today.
Sorry for keeping her here so late.
Min Ji, say goodbye.
You just came in, you don't have to leave so soon.
And she just came in, too.
If you're not busy, stay for a cup of tea.
Should I then?
Have a seat, we have really good schizandra tea.
Come.
Your two girls get along so well.
I thought they were related by blood.
Pardon?
It's so pretty here.
Tae Hyeon, thanks for today.
Thanks to you, I was able to cry my heart out.
You had that much tear pent up inside?
Where did it all come from?
It seems like you get along better with your mom these days.
Yeah?
You used to never come to the shop.
I guess not.
It was better after I acknowledged her as Director Min Ha Kyung.
My mom never once cooked for me my entire life.
Forget home-cooked meal, she never even prepared microwaveable food for me.
I had a lot of resentment because of that.
She was always busy, loved work, and cared about her social standing.
I rebelled because I hated that the only thing she cared about was success.
But that's just who she is.
She has to live like that.
After acknowledging that, it became easier.
Looking back
there are things I benefited from because of the way she is.
Like what?
Well...
Wait.
I came to hear you out, but I'm the only one talking.
I'll end up going on and on like this.
Oh Yu Mi.
You're pretty when you smile.
I don't know all the worries you have deep down inside...
but when you lose something, you gain something in return.
Just think about what you gained, and smile.
If you keep on smiling, the worries become smaller and smaller.
Thanks, Tae Hyeon.
And eat well.
- Okay. - You promised.
- Get in. - Okay.
I rode in the elevator with them, and overheard their conversation.
That you got remarried.
Oh...
Yes, they met all grown up
but fortunately, they get along better than sisters.
According to the news
they say second marriages are even more likely to fail than the first.
That's why second marriage couples try harder
because they don't want to fail twice.
You two must have put in a lot of effort.
They don't need to put in any effort.
They are so much in love.
Although, I do feel bad for his previous wife.
They love each other so much, they were fated to meet.
It's hard for me to believe that this is a second marriage for them.
And the kids get along as if they've been sisters all their lives.
Really?
Mom, why did you use this mug?
I miss Nam Gyu so much.
They made this when they went on their honeymoon to Hawaii.
This is how people enjoy their pictures these days.
In my days, we didn't have stuff like this.
All we did was maybe go to Pusan or Gyeongju, and look at the ocean.
Maybe because they met when they were older
they still get along like two love birds in their honeymoon phase.
Mom.
That's the kind of person Mom is.
She has to live that way.
When I acknowledged that, it got much easier.
That kind of person...
Someone who has to live like that...
Looking back
there are things that I benefited from because of the way she is.
How did I benefit from having a mother like that?
Yes, son.
Where is Min Ji?
She's next door with me.
Why did you go there with her?
Bring her now.
I'm in the middle of a conversation. Go study.
Bring Min Ji home now!
It must be Min Ji's brother.
A son needs a father to learn from.
Min Ji was happy that she's going to be living with her dad soon.
It must have been so hard raising the kids alone by yourself for years.
I became a widow at an early age
so I lived alone with her for a long time.
But is Min Ji's father somewhere abroad far away?
Kind of...
My mother stays home alone
so when she has someone to talk to, she keeps going on.
- Please don't get upset. - I'm being such an old pest.
Min Ji kept talking about her dad.
I just became curious.
I'm sorry.
- Drink. - You're right.
A son does need his father.
That will happen soon.
Yes, honey.
We had to hang up abruptly before, right?
I'm sorry, hold on.
Honey, are you taking your vitamins?
How's your shoulder?
When you get tired, you start having neck and shoulder problems.
- You like him that much? - Of course.
He's like a gift from heaven.
If it weren't for Nam Gyu
Soo Yeon would never have gotten remarried with her personality.
He's so good to me and to the kids, too.
Every chance I get, I thank the gods for sending him.
Even my own son couldn't have treated me better than him.
He's truly the best.
Yeah? So what did you do?
Everything worked itself out after she met Nam Gyu.
They are a match made in heaven.
What's wrong?
We'll have to get going.
I need to get dinner ready for the kids.
Min Ji, let's go.
Grandma, can I get my bag?
Yeah...
Where did I put it?
It's in your room. We were studying Korean there.
That's right.
Let's go get your bag.
Stop.
Everything worked out after she met Nam Gyu.
They are a match made in heaven.
Yes, I miss you, too.
Oh my goodness, this precious thing.
You didn't hurt yourself?
I wanted to clean up the mugs before going home.
I dropped it by accident.
- I'm so sorry. - You should have been careful.
This is such a precious mug.
They lost the camera
so this was the only picture they had from their honeymoon.
I was being extra careful
since Nam Gyu is in the middle of an important business.
It's bad luck to break anything before an important affair.
Excuse me, do you think you'll finish sometime today?
Do it faster.
Look here.
It says to cut 3 centimeters long.
This isn't exact science.
It's just food, who cares about the precise length?
It's getting all stuck. Come on, do this.
Look here!
That has to be cut 3 centimeters long, don't just cut it like that.
Hey.
What are you doing?
You should use a measuring spoon, you can't just pour it in.
This is how you do it.
See, it's all finished. We don't have forever, you know.
It says on the recipe
that you're supposed to put in little bit of water at a time.
This isn't cooking.
Why do you think there are recipes?
It took you thirty minutes just cutting up the ingredients to the right size.
Can't you see we're behind?
You think we'll finish the food sometime today?
Seriously...
Cooking is about caring. If you just do whatever like this...
My grandmother cooked this way for over fifty years, with love and caring.
If you're going to do whatever like this, why bother taking cooking lessons?
Stop being so precise! Who cares if it's 3 or 5 centimeters?
Come on!
- Hey! - Yes?
Get outside.
Okay.
- Turn off the gas! - Yes, sir.
- Get out right now! - Yes, sir.
I got kicked out of the first class.
There are rules and regulations to everything.
If you break that, you won't get the result you want.
Anyone even a little impatient would never get to taste your food.
Why would you worry about that?
Unfortunately, we're on the same team.
I'm the one that's about to lose it.
You're still fighting?
You don't know why I kicked you out?
A famous sushi chef once said this...
The most important thing in cooking is the chef's attitude.
If you cook while you're angry, there will be poison on your fingertips.
You came here to make healing food for the one you love.
What do you think you are doing?
All you are doing is fighting.
- You see... - Listen...
Make amends right now.
Okay.
So you made up?
I couldn't just stand outside like that.
But it's so strange.
You ran into the guy you met at the movies again in a cooking class?
Maybe you two are meant to be.
Maybe you'll meet again.
Hey, stop saying that!
- We should never have met. - We'll see about that.
There's nothing to see.
He's one of those people that I'm just completely incompatible with.
Everything he does bothers me so much.
You know the steam irons at laundromats?
Every time he talks, I get so heated.
- You might grow to like him. - Stop saying that!
I don't even want to think about it.
Should we go for a beer?
My treat.
Can we go for a beer tomorrow?
I need to get this to Yu Mi.
Why is that girl so lucky?
In my next life, I'm going to be born as your sister.
She's got a sister who loves her to pieces
and a family that worries about her.
You were so worried about Yu Mi
that even Tae Hyeon went to go see her after work.
- He did? - Why?
You're proud of your man?
You like him that much?
Hey, you...
You think he's that charming?
You love him already?
- Hey! - Look at you...
Come here, you!
Hey!
I hope this isn't an omen.
That's all superstition.
Min Ji's mom broke it by accident, don't overthink it.
She should have just left them. Why did she try to clean them?
I should bring some newspapers.
I'll wrap them before throwing them out so the garbage man doesn't cut his hand.
Mom, don't throw them out.
- I'll glue it back together. - How are you going to do that?
I saw on the internet that there's a place that fixes broken cups.
I'm going to put it back together.
Don't throw them out.
You don't need to read to me.
Go to sleep.
Yeah, what is it?
We have to talk.
- Talk about what? - You have nothing to say?
If you want to talk, ask me respectfully.
- Don't talk to me in that tone. - Let's talk.
Where should I go?
Come to our house after the kids go to bed.
Okay.
I have something I must tell you today.
Guess who?
Don't do this, Oh Ha Nui!
Why should I stop? This is so much fun.
Got you.
Seriously!
Why are you playing such childish games at your age?
Were you waiting for me?
Why would I wait for you when I see you everyday?
I was just sitting here enjoying the moonlight.
I'm so proud of you for taking care of Yu Mi.
- My cutie pie... - What's wrong with you?
- Was the cooking class fun? - Fun?
Don't even mention it. Do you know who I ran into there?
Seriously...
Do you remember that guy from the movies whose butt I touched?
Let's see.
I have to get the angle right.
Wow.
It's as if you measured it with a ruler.
Is it because you're a lawyer?
Even your cutting skill is so sharp.
The visual is half the taste.
Yeah.
I'm home, brother.
I guess you learned a thing or two at the cooking class.
Sung Hee, I'm so glad you are home.
My back is crazy itchy right now.
Can you please scratch it a little bit?
Right here.
Why does your back always get itchy when you see me?
I know.
Even if you fight like no other
a husband that can scratch your back is the best.
Nice.
500 won please.
How depressing, how can you charge me for scratching my back?
Take that!
I'll pay you later.
I'm so sorry
but it's Mom and Dad's anniversary today.
I was all ready to get out.
The two of you can set the mood, and take care of them tonight.
I'll get going.
What if we set the mood right for them, and end up with a baby sibling?
Oh my, that would be even better!
Sung Hee, stop with your nonsense. Wash your hands, and help me.
They'll be here soon.
I'm sorry, honey.
- Why would you come there? - I thought it was a couples' dinner.
I really didn't mean to put you in an awkward situation.
Whether you meant it or not, you made a fool out of me.
I've got nothing to say.
I couldn't just stay home when I heard that it was a couples' dinner.
How many times did I tell you that you doing nothing is helping me out?
You haven't been coming home or contacting me for several days.
How can I do nothing when it seems that you are mad?
Just worry about your health, and take care of yourself.
Stop concerning yourself with these matters.
You'll end up getting sick again.
I want to be healthy too!
Is there anyone who wants to be sick?
I don't want to worry you and the kids, and become a burden.
That's why you should stop caring about me, and take care of yourself.
How can I stop caring about you when you are my everything?
I know that the helicopter accident seven years ago was my fault.
How can I do nothing?
I need to do something.
How could I just live through that?
I felt so sorry to you, I couldn't look at you.
I still should have thought more about you.
I was being thoughtless.
I won't get involved with the helicopter pilot's family ever again.
I won't ever make you upset again.
Please forgive me.
The kids are worried too.
Congratulations on your thirtieth anniversary.
Okay.
If it weren't for you two, we would never have been born.
Thank you for falling in love, conceiving us, and giving birth to us.
Thank you.
Please go ahead and taste the dishes carefully prepared by Chef Park Sung Soo.
Why did you make such a big deal?
- You made all this? - I don't know how it will taste
but I made it with love and tenderness, please enjoy.
Dad, let's make a toast.
Honey, the kids prepared all this for us.
Here.
Okay.
Cheers.
Dad, what made you fall in love with mom?
Love? Everybody was set up by matchmakers back then.
Stop lying.
You must have been madly in love to have created us before you got married.
Hey, Park Sung Hee.
Hey...
We were born five months later.
Mom, what about Dad did you find so attractive?
- Let's eat. - Stop.
Where did you spend the first night?
Huh?
Come on, tell her. It was at the inn right before the Suwon Station.
What?
What are you saying in front of the kids?
Let's drink. Come on, and eat.
Oh my God...
Seriously...
They lost the camera, so they don't have pictures of the honeymoon.
If we had the pictures, we can make new ones.
I'm the one to blame.
I shouldn't have gotten so bitter.
Bitter? Why?
The nextdoor lady was kept saying that second marriages are likely to fail.
That people try hard because they don't want to fail twice.
She kept saying that, so I wanted to show her.
- That's why I used these cups. - Why would she say that?
Yu Mi said she would fix it, and not to throw them out
but how is she going to put back together a broken mug?
When I feel this crummy...
I can't imagine how Mom must be feeling.
I wish you could hold me right now.
I miss you.
Why did you break the cup?
You've never broken a cup in your life?
I've never purposefully broken a cup to show somebody.
Why are you saying that?
Are you saying that I did it purposefully to show somebody?
Are you trying to declare war?
I thought about what kind of a mom you were to me.
You were never satisfied with me, and looked down on me.
You never let a small mistake go unnoticed.
You would ridicule me, and make me feel the pain.
You never once said the word "sorry."
And?
Despite all that, since you are my mom...
I took all of Ms. Jo Dal Yeon's anger and retaliations
and did her makeup for three years without complaining.
I was willing to do it for however long if that would repay your debt.
But?
You have no right to get that kind of treatment from me.
Right?
Why do I have to cry out in fear when I dream about you?
Why do I have to shiver in fear when you embrace me?
Despite all that, just because you are my mom...
do I have to obey you, and listen to what you say?
No, I won't do that.
I'm going to cut ties with you.
Seven years ago, Dad and I lost everything, including our hope.
We were as good as dead, but thanks to our new family, we were reborn.
We owe a lot to our new family.
You have no right to hurt them.
I will never allow them to get hurt because of us.
I'm declaring war too.
If you do that again, Dad and I will never forgive you.
Oh Yu Mi.
Dad's coming back tomorrow.
I'll go to the airport, and tell him everything.
Nothing will ever go according to your plan.
I won't let that happen.
Hey, Oh Yu Mi!
Although I ran into my enemy there...
that doesn't change the fact that I made this food especially for you.
Ta-da!
Wow.
So good.
Just watching you eat makes me feel full.
I'm so happy that you're eating well.
It's really good, Ha Nui.
I guess this is why chefs cook.
I'll make you a lot and a lot of food.
Eat a lot.
It's so good.
Dad's coming back tomorrow.
I'll tell him everything at the airport.
Nothing will ever go according to your plan.
I won't let that happen.
We'll see who gets their way.
Yeah, I slept well.
I slept without even dreaming.
Did you sleep well?
Yes, I slept well and woke up early this morning.
I'm glad to hear your happy voice.
Do you know what you've said the most to me
since I first started working at Soo Yeon?
What's that?
We can accomplish anything we put our minds to.
Even when my company went bankrupt
and we had so much debt, you never once looked nervous.
Yes, I never once lost faith in you.
Every moment, you tried your best with all sincerity.
We've done everything in our power.
I'm sure we'll accomplish what we set out to do.
Even if we're not successful, our efforts won't go to waste.
I don't care about the result.
Please just come back healthy.
- I miss you. - I miss you a lot too.
Get the phone. Pick it up, Chun Soo Chang.
Yeah, Mi Ja.
Why didn't you deposit the money?
You don't know that Nam Gyu's coming back today?
I did it once for you.
But I can't do it again.
- There's no way I can do it. - What are you saying?
Mi Ja, I'm sorry, but take me out of your plan.
I can't do that
to Nam Gyu and Soo Yeon, never.
- Chun Soo Chang. - Mi Ja.
I'm really sorry.
Sorry.
Hey, Chun Soo Chang! Chun Soo Chang!
Damn it, why is everyone doing this to me?
Dad's coming back tomorrow.
I'll tell him everything at the airport.
Oh Nam Gyu...
Are you really coming back today?
Our concept is to spread out these lips with Sexy Q on them...
and we'll quiz people on which lips are whose.
When everyone thinks that the lips belonged to celebrities...
we'll reveal that none of them belonged to any celebrity.
They were all lips of employees at our company and other average people.
President Hong.
Should I continue?
Oh, sorry.
Please continue.
Actually, my mind's been on that too. I can't focus on anything else.
They said the results will come out in the morning.
We should hear from him soon.
Dad must be so nervous right now.
In a moment's time, it will be decided
whether or not our products will be sold in over a hundred department stores.
I'm getting so nervous.
Yes.
President Hong, you have a guest.
She says she's Min Ji's mom.
Next door?
I will announce the results for presentations on
entrance into the Shanghai Department Store.
Even if we're not successful, our efforts won't go to waste.
I don't care about the result, just come back safely.
I miss you.
I want to do this.
I want to see you happy.
I want to make you happy.
Welcome.
What brings you all the way here?
I just felt bad.
I know I can't replace that cup.
But please accept this.
You came here to drop this off?
You don't need to do this.
Your mother kept worrying that the cup broke right before an important event.
I kept wondering if everything worked out okay.
We're waiting for the result too.
The winning brand is Soo Yeon Cosmetics, congratulations.
Yes, honey.
Honey!
We got it!
We did it!
No, you did it. Thank you, honey.
- Thank you. - What is it?
He did it? We got it?
Dad did it?
As soon as I write the contract, I'm going to get on the plane.
I want to get home quickly.
- I'm going crazy because I miss you. - I'll go pick you up at the airport.
I'll go meet you with the kids.
Dad, you're the best. Dad, you're so cool.
Dad, see you later.
I'll go out with mom and Yu Mi.
Yes, I'll see you at the airport later.
- Oh my God... - It must be good news.
I'll get going then.
I'm sorry, I should have offered you tea.
We'll be seeing a lot of each other.
The job you offered before about being a lip model...
- I want to do that. - You do?
Today must be my lucky day.
Everything's working out great.
I'll call you as soon as the schedule comes out.
Until then.
Oh my God, Mom.
This is insane.
How do you like it?
You know something?
You looked into my eyes for the first time.
You met my eyes for the first time in three years.
Of course, I should make eye contact with my client.
Your attitude and everything has changed 180 degrees.
I wonder why.
If there's nothing you would like fixed, I'll finish up.
You can pay at the counter on your way out.
You're going to start charging me now?
I have no more reason to do your makeup as a way to pay back debt.
Tell me the reason.
You've changed so much overnight.
I've cut ties with her.
You've cut ties?
But your mom is in dire need of your help.
I have nothing to do with her.
Yu Mi, your mom's life is in your hands.
Do you know that?
The only mother I have is Hong Soo Yeon.
That's too bad.
- Too bad for you, Mi Ja. - What do you want?
You put on that show to move your daughter's heart...
but it seems she's totally turned against you.
Poor you, Chun Mi Ja.
Shut up, and hang up.
Pick up the phone, Oh Yu Mi.
I'm finished with my appointments.
I'll be going to the airport.
Since you insist on leaving early, I'll let you go.
But do you really have to go pick up your dad from the airport?
He's done a big deed.
Tae Hyeon is going too.
It's nice for the whole family to go out and welcome him back.
Go ahead.
Thank you, Director.
[Next door]
Why do you keep calling?
We need to meet now.
I need to go pick up my dad at the airport.
Ha Nui is on her way to pick me up.
You need to see me first.
- I have nothing to say to you. - Just do as I say!
Let me ask you one thing.
What does it mean that your life is in my hands?
Let's meet and talk.
I don't know what you're planning
but I don't care about any of that.
Don't try to pull me in.
Hey, Oh Yu Mi!
Yu Mi, I'm almost there.
Come out.
Yu Mi!
Oh Yu Mi!
Mom.
I see Yu Mi now.
We'll go right to the airport.
See you there.

Oh my God.
- Thank you so much, Mr. 3 Centimeters. - 3 centi...
Vice Preside Oh, welcome back!
- You worked so hard. - What the heck is this?
- Was it your doing? - She's got two months to live.
Why don't you do what she asks?
Please just live, sis.
I'll do anything you ask.
