(Episode 31)
Did someone leave a post about Mrs Cinderella's background?
It was posted by someone who purchased the premium book.
You should have a look.
Excuse me.
(Mrs Cinderella Did Not Attend University of Tokyo.)
(She graduated from a local university.)
What's this about?
Mrs Cinderella couldn't have forged her academic background.
This woman is impossible.
How could she lie about graduating from University of Tokyo?
Isn't she afraid that the alumni will find out?
And whose fault is this?
It's because you added her educational background.
What are you going to do about this?
Gosh. This wouldn't have happened if she didn't lie in the first place.
This is completely her fault.
Stop trying to blame others for it.
I had Mr Kim's permission to do this.
What does that have to do with this?
This was your idea.
I knew he was going to do that.
You know this can land you in jail, right?
There must have been quite a number of people who purchased the book.
- What should we do? - Well...
Let's first get a list of people who purchased it already.
We have to call them and let them know that it's our fault.
- All right. - And...
we need everybody's help.
Sure. Let's help them.
Mr Kim.
How could you hold me responsible for everything?
It's true you suggested it.
Why are you so worried?
Mr Oh will take care of it.
Oh, gosh.
You're here.
This is the list of customers.
This is a lot of customers.
- There's another pile like this. - Really?
I'll have people in my team make calls. Time is important here.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for having your team help us out.
Do you think I'm trying to help you?
It's not like I had any friends.
This is just great.
Your wife is off to work...
and you are home feeding your baby.
Give him to me.
I'll feed him.
Why would you?
Ga Ram is my son.
Quit acting like this!
Ga Ram, I hope you understand.
She rents out a room at our house.
She just has a loud voice.
Mr Landlord.
It's time to eat. Aren't you going to cook for me?
This is not a boarding house.
You should cook for yourself.
Should I?
How could you possibly eat this in one serving?
Did you take everything?
- Why are you being impolite? - Did you?
That was the last of the rice.
You ran out of ramyeon, too.
You should buy some instant rice.
I don't know what to do about this.
So are you just going to sit around here?
I'd rather be here than argue with my mum.
You should go for a drive, then. Bang Geul's gone to her academy.
Should I head to Dumulmeori at Yangpyeong?
The last time I went there was before I got married.
That's a great idea. You'll feel much better afterwards.
You should come with me.
I'll drive on the way there and you can drive back.
You want me to come?
Why not? Don't you want to go?
No, that's not it.
Well, you see...
I cannot drive.
Sorry?
Oh my gosh.
Goodness.
So there is something I'm better than you at.
I do have my license though.
But you never use it!
I can teach you.
Goodness.
This is something new.
Let's drive around the complex.
It's okay.
It's okay for me, too.
Why don't you just try it?
Driving is not difficult.
I'm okay.
- Let's go. - I'm really okay.
- I'm fine. - It's okay.
- Come on. - Hold on. Ouch.
Oh my gosh.
Let's go.
I've always been taught by you.
I'm so excited that I finally...
get to teach you!
- Buckle up. - Sure.
- Let's get going. - Okay.
The gas pedal.
What?
Why...
Why am I not moving?
Cars only move when you start the engine.
I see.
Start the engine.
Yes.
Don't be nervous. Relax yourself.
Oh, my.
Once we reach there, we'll turn left.
Okay.
- You need to signal left. - The signal.
- The signal? The signal... - I...
I guess you don't know how to signal. Allow me.
No. I'll do it.
You have to change lanes now or you'll miss the turn.
Okay.
Sorry!
- Be careful. - Don't talk to me right now.
- Go now. Now. - Now?
My goodness. Why can't you make a left turn?
My goodness.
I almost died.
If you can't do a left turn, do a right turn.
We decided to do a left turn so why would I go right?
But still,
how could you go across four lanes?
- You cut across the whole road. - Why do you care?
Oh, wow.
You can't be this bad.
I don't think you deserve a license.
I never said I wanted to drive.
I did it for you, Master!
It's so convenient to drive around.
I'll stop lecturing you for a while.
For goodness' sake.
What?
Is this my fault?
- Are you okay with that? - Yes.
- It was a mistake on our part. - Sure, thank you.
I'm sorry.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Thank you for understanding. - Yes. Thank you so much.
- All right. - Take care.
We're almost done, right?
- I think so. - I'm going to call Mrs Cinderella.
Sure. I think everything's good now.
Mrs Cinderella.
It's me, Sorry Mum.
Is that true?
Thank you.
I'm sorry that you had to work overtime because of me.
Yes, I'll see you later.
I hope this doesn't get any bigger.
Wow, Eun Sol. You're so awesome.
What do you want?
What happened?
Eun Sol's Chinese character competition results are out.
- She got a perfect score. - The results are out?
Why haven't you checked it? It was out since the morning.
Really?
You're the best.
Do you want anything? Tell me.
Where are you going?
I'm so exhausted.
You're off work late, Ms Lee.
I had a lot of things to take care of.
Where are you going, Mother?
Come with me. Let's go to the sauna.
The sauna?
My back hurts so much that I can't even sit.
I want to take a hot bath.
It's a little awkward to go to the sauna with you.
What's awkward about it? You're not a man.
Mother, can you go alone today?
I'm really tired.
Do you want to go with me?
Why would I go with you?
Come with me. I'll scrub your back.
My back?
It's difficult to get a back scrub in saunas nowadays.
I'll do it for you.
Well, my back is itchy.
Let's go.
You can go, Ms Lee.
Let's go.
I keep causing her trouble.
No way, I'm paying.
I'll pay today.
- I got it. - No, no.
Come on. I don't like people paying for me.
Please ring us up with this credit card.
Gosh.
- Hold on. - What is this?
Is this your daughter?
Give that to me. Give it back.
Goodness. What's wrong with you?
Look. I have one, too.
That's beautiful.
It's just a picture. What's the big deal?
I wear a size medium.
- Here's a medium. - Don't forget your bag.
Thank you.
Eat slowly. You'll get sick.
- Are you going to eat that? - You can have it all.
You should eat more.
Why are you talking down to me?
What's so bad about that? We're both old.
How old are you?
I was born in 1958.
How old are you?
I was born in 1956.
I am two years older than you.
I should go lie down.
This is the only way I can help Mi So.
Wasn't that refreshing?
Let's dry your hair and sleep.
You're home.
My goodness.
It looks like life is easy for the lady of this house.
The man of the house is cleaning his life away,
but you just have to work. Your life must be so easy.
Why are you speaking to me like that, Mother?
What did you just call me?
I'm not your mother.
Say hello.
She's a tenant in our house.
What?
Nice to meet you.
I want us to live quietly and peacefully.
I wanted to send her home.
I am...
going to begin working starting tomorrow.
Okay, Mr Landlord?
Are you going home?
Are you insane?
I have to make money to pay for my rent.
I will live here and work.
I thought you said she hates being uncomfortable.
You said she will go home soon.
It's only a matter of time.
We just have to hold out until my childcare leave is over.
What happened with Mrs Cinderella?
We did make calls to everyone who purchased the book.
- I hope everything will be fine. - It will be.
It'll be bad if news of this gets around.
- My goodness. - What's wrong?
Chan Ho's mum wants to change the class cleaning schedule with me.
How do you know her number?
I'm in the chatroom for parents.
Bang Geul's teacher called me.
Honey, you're going through so much.
You have to clean our home and the classroom.
It's nothing.
I did come to an epiphany during my leave.
What is it?
Whether it be a working mum or a stay-at-home mum,
all mums are awesome.
The government should give all of them a special leave.
They should give one to dads, too.
It's difficult to be the head of the family, too.
Are we arm wrestling?
- Let's do this. - All right!
You're here.
Hello.
I thought Chan Ho's mum was coming.
She asked me to change days because...
something urgent came up.
I see.
Where should I start?
Well...
Can you clean the air conditioner?
All right.
- Give it to me. - Here it is.
I can do it.
No, I'll clean it.
- I got it. - I can do it.
- I will do it. - I got it. You should come down.
Be careful. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Oh, my. And then what happened?
Really?
Are you sure that there aren't...
any other customers who purchased the book?
I told you that they would.
Okay, see you.
Yes, thank you.
What is it?
It's nothing.
I'm running to the design team.
I don't understand you.
How can you be so calm after what you did with premium book?
Does someone have your back?
We dealt with the issue and Mrs Cinderella's okay.
There isn't any problem.
You used too much of the budget for this to just quiet down.
I think there's more to this.
Was the premium book Mr Kim's idea?
Or was it your idea, Ms Joo?
It was my idea.
I did report it to Mr Kim.
I didn't think it would be disadvantageous for our company.
It's Mrs Cinderella who will be affected by this, not us.
If a popular blogger forged her academic background,
it would spark interest and our sales would go up.
You're bolder than I thought.
I like that.
Since it's already out, why don't we take this to the next level?
What do you mean?
It's about publicity.
Use this to your advantage.
Think about how you're going to do this and report to me directly.
Will I be penalised for what I did?
It's not like you were on your own.
Didn't you say Mr Kim gave you the green light?
You can leave.
Thank you.
Where are you going, Master?
Where are you going?
Are you mad about something so petty?
Petty?
You know how disappointed I was in you?
Why were you disappointed?
You suggested that we go for a drive.
I didn't want to, but I still went along.
You treated me like a fool.
Gosh, I never did that.
Do all men have to be good drivers?
Do you have those stereotypes?
No, that's not it.
You were driving recklessly so I got scared.
Nobody is good from the beginning.
It's not like you were always good at taking care of Ga Ram.
It's my fault. I'm sorry.
Carry on.
Where are you going?
May I come with you?
Take care of Ga Ram.
My gosh.
He could've been a bit more persistent.
I watched them when I was cleaning.
They were both holding on to it and saying they'd clean it.
- Really? - Is Ms Yoon having an affair?
She is.
My goodness.
It's been a while, Ms Lee.
Say hello. This is Yu Ra's mum.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Who did Ms Yoon have an affair with?
Be quiet. Let's go for beer and chicken.
- Should we? - You should come with us.
I think she's too busy to join us.
- Are you? - I'm not busy.
Come with us, then. Let's go.
Ms Lee, what academies does Bang Geul attend?
I just send her to the one's around the neighbourhood.
You shouldn't do that.
You have to send her to the credible ones.
She's right. Universities in Seoul are difficult to get accepted to.
Oh, right. Did you hear about the new English academy?
I heard the teacher used to work in Cheongdam-dong.
It's really hard to get into.
(English Level Test, 32 percent)
32 percent?
You should look into other academies, Ms Joo.
Should we have our kids take a level test there?
Let's go together, Ms Joo.
It's okay. Min Ho likes the academy he's at.
Which one does he go to?
It's just an academy nearby.
Are you keeping it a secret from us because it's good?
I don't know much.
I have to ask Sang Gu's mum.
She never tells us which academies are good.
I saw her taking Sang Gu somewhere.
I have a headache.
This is stressing me out more.
Where are you going?
You wanted to sleep in separate rooms.
Go to law school.
Dad, why do you keep sleeping in my room?
Mum and Dad have issues to resolve.
Dad, do I have to go to academies?
- Do you hate it that much? - Yes, it's so boring.
I only sleep when I'm there.
You don't need to go.
Dad, I want to learn how to cook.
I think it'll make me really happy.
Should I test you and see if you're talented?
- Yes! - Yes!
But...
don't tell Mum.
- Of course not. - Of course not.
Yes.
- Are you happy? - Yes.
Go to bed.
Is that right? That was faster than I thought.
I'll come in today.
Sure.
Come and eat.
Bring Eun Sol to the clinic once she's done with school.
Her competition is over. Are you going to give her the shot again?
They have a space for her in Hanseong Elementary School.
Already?
I thought we had to wait until the second semester.
She was first on the waiting list.
There must be quite a few kids getting ready to study abroad.
She's finally getting used to her school.
If she transfers now...
We have to move her there as soon as possible. It'll only benefit her.
The school has changed a lot.
Did you attend our school, Mr Park?
Yes, I was the 38th batch to graduate.
The 38th batch?
It was the legendary class of Hanseong Elementary School.
There's Kim Jung Ho, the director of Nara Bank.
Heo Jae Hoon, the director of Planning and Finance.
Ki Jeong Su, the chief prosecutor of Seoul District Court.
Park Cheol Min, the congressman in Seocho-gu.
And there's me,
the doctor and director at Soo Obstetrics.
I can't name all my friends who practically run this country.
What about your wife?
Did she graduate from our school?
No, she studied overseas.
I see.
Both of my parents were doctors and so am I.
I grew up in a household full of doctors...
so Eun Sol wants to be a doctor when she grows up.
I see.
There's no other school that's more capable than Hanseong...
in fostering talented students.
You've come to the right place.
Can you introduce yourself in English, Eun Sol?
Sure.
Hello, nice to meet you.
My name is Eun Sol Park.
That's excellent!
- Good job. - Good job.
Eun Sol, your English improved a lot.
"My name is Eun Sol Park." That was great.
Isn't that Mrs Cinderella?
I think so.
- Is she the recipe blogger? - Yes, that's her.
How do they know your face?
I'm not sure.
Are you announcing to the world that you're Mrs Cinderella?
Don't worry. I would never do that.
Let's go, Eun Sol.
Mr Kim, you saw our premium book, right?
I see. There's a problem though.
I would like to talk to you in person.
Yes, I'll be there.
Yes. Okay.
We're eating dinner today. Make sure you're free.
Again?
It's so obvious that you don't live with your family.
You're too old to ask your employees to play with you.
I'm not playing with anybody.
Team dinners are an extension of work.
Once you start talking, you might think of good ideas.
What's this?
What's wrong?
- Look at this, Ms Lee. - What is it?
(Ever News: Blogger Mrs Cinderella Fakes Educational Background.)
What's this?
How did they know about this?
(Working Mum Stay Home Dad)
I heard your husband is a full-time dad.
From the way other mums look at us,
it seems like they're gossiping about us.
Thank you for making me a liar for life.
You should have told your husband to watch his mouth.
She made the premium book without my permission.
Please punish Ms Joo.
They said you're a liar.
That's why they won't play with me.
There are some store owners that are not fond of Mr Kim.
Mr Kim took a bribe?
