(Episode 48)
(Online and Offline Recipe Competition)
First, show us your recipes.
We'd like to go first.
The recipe I prepared is lamb steak.
We'll reveal our dish.
Even though it's the same as ours?
(Seasoned Thistle with Rice)
We prepared seasoned thistle with rice.
- What do you think? - Well...
I like that it's simple. Can you mark it?
Okay.
- Well... - Ji Eun.
What are you doing?
Me?
Why are you hiding that?
Well...
By any chance,
is Joo Ye Eun involved in this?
Sorry?
What's going on?
Did Ms Joo tell you to steal our recipe?
I'm sorry.
She said she'd put in a good word for me with the director.
Gosh.
I'm so disappointed in you.
It's understandable.
It's been tough lately.
Ms Lee. This is not okay.
Hold on.
Everyone...
makes mistakes,
but if mistakes repeat, it must be intentional. Don't you agree?
Are you going to help me or not?
I am.
Then...
can you do me a favour?
Give her another recipe...
so we can play fair.
Okay. I'm really sorry.
Please introduce your dishes.
We prepared a fancy dish that suits the image of our product.
When it comes to food, the appearance matters a lot.
These aged lamb steaks...
will catch everyone's eyes and stimulate appetite.
The side dish, dried eggplants and tomatoes...
were made with our food drier.
Our dish is for exhausted working mums.
All mums say every day,
"What should I make for dinner?"
We came up with a simple yet delicious dish for those mums.
Seasoned thistle with rice made with LITZ Electronics food drier.
It'll make a simple yet delicious and healthy meal.
- That sounds great. - Good job.
You seem to have complete opposite intentions.
I'll take that into consideration when I determine the winner.
Please start cooking.
Okay.
Let's start.
Please prepare the seasoning.
You prepare the vegetables.
Is it going well?
Do as I say. You prepare the meat.
You prepare the vegetables.
Which vegetables?
First, start with...
You shouldn't touch it.
It's being dried.
You should dry it first.
Okay.
Guys, what did you think?
I liked Mi So's better.
You'll find out the result soon enough.
You didn't help at all.
You should have shared the recipe with us beforehand.
It was a difficult recipe. What did you expect?
Why did you keep it to yourself?
I thought it'd be fine. I didn't know you'd be that bad.
You must have been worried I'd find out it's the same recipe.
Don't blame Ji Eun.
I changed our dish this morning.
What do you mean?
Ms Joo's recipe was kept secret,
and Ms Lee changed the dish this morning?
We had our reasons.
Can we talk for a minute, Ms Joo?
Kim Ji Eun.
You made the right decision, you know that?
When Ms Lee caught me,
it woke me up.
What's going on here?
Something's going on in our team without me knowing.
Right, guys?
- It's nothing. - It's nothing.
Look at you.
I didn't expect...
you to use my recipe without changing anything.
I thought you'd just refer to it.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Why did you use Mrs Cinderella's when you have A Woman's Story?
It wasn't her recipe.
It's a coincidence.
It was ready even before Ji Eun gave your recipe to me.
Let me guess what you were thinking.
You were going to present the recipe before us.
Since we prepared the same recipe, we would have got in trouble.
You were going to accuse me of stealing your recipe, right?
What are you talking about?
After what you've done to me so far,
I can almost read your mind now.
Anyway, I have no regrets since I did my best.
Don't worry.
I asked Ji Eun to keep it secret.
No one else will find out.
Yell at me instead.
Don't act like you're doing me a favour.
Min Ho, wake up.
It's lunch time.
I don't want to eat.
Min Ho's been sleeping all day long.
I slept at the break of day.
I had to do homework for my academy.
I'm going to promote shared babysitting starting today.
I'll help, Mr Kim.
Do you want some chicken?
- Sounds good. - I'll buy.
- Come over to my store. - Okay.
- It'll be cool there. - Hello.
Mothers, isn't it very difficult to bring up your children?
I only found that out after I took my childcare leave.
All mothers are amazing.
Did you just figure that out?
That's why I want to ask you this.
I was wondering if you are willing to contribute...
a little bit of that amazing motherliness with us.
You know that we started something called shared babysitting, right?
Oh, yes.
If you can put in a little bit of your time,
our kids will definitely be freed from their academy.
Yes. If you are willing to put in just an hour a day,
we'll be very grateful.
Mothers these days are very busy.
Of course.
We don't have time for that.
Don't say that.
We are just trying to raise our children together.
Please reconsider, will you?
- Yes, sure. - Sure.
- Okay. - Okay.
- What's with them? - Exactly.
I've talked to them, too. But they just won't listen.
Are you here to pick up the kids?
- Mother, you're here. - Yes.
Ms Ok, what brings you here?
She's been taking Min Ho to an academy in Daechi-dong.
Oh, I heard.
Is Ga Ram doing well at the daycare centre?
He's still fitting in, so I wouldn't say it's going very well.
Isn't this too hard on you?
No, I'm fine.
Ye Eun wants this so badly. You should let her have this.
Grandma, I'm hungry.
Can we eat something?
Your mum will get mad if you do that.
Let's wait until the class is over. We'll eat afterwards.
I want to eat now.
We can't do that.
Is this Min Ho?
Yes, why?
Can you stop sending him here?
Why do you come this far from Jongno?
Just send him to an academy that fits him around your town.
Why do you care if he comes here...
or not?
He's been nothing but a distraction during class.
I never talked during class, Grandma.
I just slept a little during the break.
He says that he never talked.
I don't care when it happened. Why does he have to sleep here?
He's a bad influence.
Make him quit right away.
If not, we will file a complaint.
- Let's go. - Excuse me.
Min Ho, don't listen to them.
I really don't want to come here.
Congratulations, Ms Lee.
Your recipe won.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations, Ms Lee.
Really?
- I knew it. - Congratulations.
Good job.
Thank you. Great job.
- I knew you'd win. - Thank you.
You were very considerate of housewives.
That's why a lot of them picked you.
It looks like you're hearing these rumours before me these days.
Your sources are rather slow these days.
Mr Park from our team just heard this from Mr Oh.
How can Mr Park meet Mr Oh by himself?
I should go and ask him what his secret is.
I'll find out.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
She must be really disappointed.
She can never outdo you when you two play fair.
Really?
This is great.
Yes.
I'll prepare the first catering service, then.
Okay.
Are you going into catering?
Yes.
I've been working with a company named LITZ Electronics.
They've been developing recipes,
and my recipe won over someone else's recipe.
- Really? - Yes.
My recipe will help the elderly in need...
and kids your age who needs help, too.
Mum, you're so cool.
- Really? - Yes.
Thank you.
Eun Sol.
Eun Sol, won't you speak with me?
Don't shout. You'll scare her.
My lawyer wants to meet you.
Why would I meet him?
I don't want a divorce.
You'd have to meet him once our settlement date is set.
Did you think I'd show up?
My lawyer told me to completely disregard this.
He said you can never win over me.
Home sweet home.
What happened?
I'm sorry.
I was so busy today that I forgot to call you.
Yes, so what happened?
I think this is all thanks to your prayer.
I won.
Great job, Mi So.
I must've been really nervous. My head hurts.
Come here, Ga Ram.
How have you been? Mum is home now.
- He cried again. - What?
You went through so much today.
You can stay with me all day long this weekend.
- Mum. - Hi, Bang Geul.
- Look at this. - What is it?
Oh, my. Is it almost your vacation?
Yes.
This is bad. I have to pick this quickly. Take Ga Ram.
Come here.
Why is she in a rush?
We should lay them all out and pick one. There are so many.
Right? Let's put it out.
What should you do?
Are there really this many classes?
Yes. Bang Geul, what do you want to do? Choose a few.
- I want to play the violin, - Violin.
- learn balloon art... - Balloon art.
and...
- the English class. - English class.
This English class is really hard to get into.
- What about the computer class? - Yes, that.
I want to join the science class, too.
That's even harder to get into.
No, I can do this.
- Trust me, okay? - Okay.
What are you talking about?
Signing up for these classes.
This is a war between mums.
It's not like she's in a college.
I'm sure it's not a war.
You really have no idea.
I couldn't sign her up for any after-school classes last semester.
(After-school class registration)
It's supposed to start at 8:30am. I thought I came early.
This is the line for after-school classes, right?
Yes.
You left really early that day, but she didn't get into any classes?
Yes.
After-school classes are high-quality, and it's safe.
That's why they are very popular.
If she misses this, we have to find her other academies,
which are twice as expensive.
I see.
This time, it's online registration.
Thankfully, it's on the weekend.
That's great. You don't have to stand in a line.
Do you think this is easy?
Popular classes like English or science...
close up within 30 seconds.
That can't be.
Think about it.
If we miss this, we have nowhere to send her during the weekdays.
A double-income family like us need to get into these classes.
I see.
What must we do, then?
You should go to an internet cafe tomorrow.
What? An internet cafe?
You need high-speed internet if you want to get in.
You'll never get into any classes with the internet we have.
I'll get into the website via my phone at home.
We have to move all at once.
This is a childcare war.
Honey, we can do it.
Bang Geul, we can do it.
- We can do it. - We can.
We can do it, Ga Ram.
Why are you here?
How long will you make Mother suffer?
I'm really tired today.
Don't say anything. Just leave.
What happened at the competition?
What's with that look?
I lost because of you.
I used the recipe on your blog.
You lost? My recipe lost?
Honey.
How can my recipe lose? Which one did you use?
I used the recipe...
for seasoned thistle with rice on your blog.
That makes a great meal. How can it lose?
I told you.
Food should look great.
What did your opponent prepare?
The recipe I prepared is lamb steak.
(Lamb Steak)
Lamb steak!
Lamb steak?
Who makes lamb steak for dinner in everyday life?
What's wrong with your company? They don't understand mums.
Gosh.
Your company has no clue.
Gosh.
Lamb steak? My goodness.
I should have listened to him.
My son.
- My son. - Dad.
Why don't you just sleep on the bed?
I have so much homework.
Mum and I stay up every night.
Min Ho, sit straight. Let me help you with your homework.
I'm letting it slide because of your mother.
If anything happens to Min Ho, I won't forgive you.
Wait and see.
Try solving this one, Min Ho.
Is this all you've done today?
Stop doodling.
Ga Ram. Did you wake up?
Oh, my.
Honey. Look.
Open your eyes, Honey.
- What time is it? - It's 6:05am.
- Get up. - We still have some time.
No, you should hurry to the internet cafe right now.
It might already be full.
Get up right now.
Come on!
- Are you okay? - What's the fuss?
Get moving. You won't get a seat. Hurry!
- Hurry! - I get it.
Honey, you take care of English, science and violin.
I'll take care of computer and balloons.
You said that English and science are the hardest.
That's why you're doing it at the internet cafe.
I'll use the laptop and my phone at home.
- Hurry up! - Okay.
You should get the website ready beforehand, okay?
- I get it. - Get moving!
Let's talk on the phone.
- What's with the fuss? - Hurry up!
My goodness.
Wait.
Well...
Can I get a seat?
It's full.
- It's full! - It's full!
- Is it full here, too? - Can we get seats?
- Move! - I can't see anything.
- Move! - Get out of my way!
- Wait! - Stop!
- My goodness. - Gosh.
I need a computer, too.
- This is the last seat. - Number 71.
Excuse me.
- You should pay first. - I was in a hurry.
Get out of my way!
That was an experience.
That was quite an experience. It was a war.
Master!
Are you here to apply for after-school classes?
Yes.
I'm disappointed in you. You should have let me know.
I'm sorry. I had a big fight with my wife.
That's why I forgot about you. Log in first.
Gosh. What are neighbours for?
Here we go!
(After-School Classes)
Come on. Please.
Please.
Oh my goodness.
What? I'm logging in right now.
I'm so nervous, Mi So.
Log in on your phone first.
Okay. I'll call you back.
Okay.
57, 58,
59, now!
(Sign up)
(You're signed up.)
How can it get full right after it's opened?
You shouldn't have expected to get in English and science.
I didn't even try.
My wife will get furious.
Oh, my.
Can you answer it for me?
Take the responsibility.
Mi So.
I got in both.
That's great.
How did it go for you?
I got in neither English nor science.
What?
They were the most important ones.
I did succeed with violin.
Whatever.
Nothing seems to go right.
Did she fail, too?
She succeeded with both.
That's not bad. You got three.
How many did you get?
I got five.
Is that why you look so proud?
I do?
I'm jealous.
I'm home, Mi So.
They're the most expensive ones.
Private English classes are expensive.
I'm sorry. I had never done it before.
Had I done it before?
Fine. I'm sorry.
Just eat.
Can I go out later?
Il Mok wants me to tag along to Daechi-dong.
Why?
Are you going to sign up for English and science classes?
That's not it.
I hope you'll succeed this time.
This will go on for a month.
Oh, gosh.
What are you up to?
It's Saturday today. Why didn't you just stay home?
I dropped Min Ho off at his class,
and I wanted to see you.
Why do you look so down?
I'm so sad.
Why?
Ye Eun is forcing Min Ho to take classes in Daechi-dong.
Mums there are scary.
What do you mean?
They look down on us because we're not from around there.
They think we'll ruin the class.
What nonsense is that?
Min Ho is...
not interested in studying.
I'm worried it'll only hurt him.
So where is that class?
Why?
Let me take a look.
(Language School)
It looks just like the ones in our neighbourhood.
I know.
By the way, Min Ho looked really bad.
He looked like he was about to cry.
I know.
Let's go.
Aren't you coming?
I'm meeting someone.
You're meeting someone?
It's so far away.
It must be hard for Min Ho's grandmother.
It's hard for Min Ho, too.
It's really far. We should have taken the subway.
I didn't know it'd take this long.
By the way, why are we going there?
I thought I should meet Min Ho's teacher once.
It'll be a good experience for you, too.
It's even scarier to meet teachers at private institutes.
It is?
Who are you going to meet?
Those mums. They'll come here to pick their kids up.
Why do you want to meet them?
They looked down on you.
Bring it on.
You're right.
- What? - She's here again.
- My goodness. - Oh, my.
Are they the ones?
Yes.
Look at them.
Ladies, you are very ill-mannered.
- Who is this? - She must be her friend.
We're not friends. We're in-laws.
Who are you to tell her grandson to not come back here?
It's not like this place is yours.
Why do you talk down to us?
You two are at least 10 years younger than I am.
Is that so bad?
Ten years? I don't think so.
Let's go. Forget about them.
Did you ask why she sends him all the way here from Jongno?
Do you know anything about Jongno?
Jongno used to be the centre. This part was barely a town.
What is she saying?
Is this how you bring up your children?
Do you tell them to disregard children from other towns?
Exactly.
- Move away. - I won't.
Move it.
Oh my goodness. How can you push her?
- Are you okay? - Stay right there, Ms Ok.
You little jerk.
- What's wrong with you? - What did you say?
Stop it!
Gosh.
Let's go. We're on a schedule.
- Wait. - Look at me.
Let go of me.
Apologise before you leave.
Don't they look familiar?
They do.
- What's with you? - Why you...
What did you just say?
Let go of me!
My goodness.
You're not leaving without an apology.
Oh my goodness.
- Mother. - Mum!
(Working Mum Stay Home Dad)
Why did you come here?
Isn't Bang Geul at number 501?
Are you here to pick up Eun Sol?
I've warned you before.
Do not invite Eun Sol over.
If you keep doing this, you may never see her again for life.
Do you have money?
Can you lend me a dollar?
- For what? - Just because.
Did you really use Mrs Cinderella's recipe under my name?
Who said that? Was it Jin Seong?
This is great. Tell him that it was good.
You should never turn in a good project proposal, Jae Min.
