Done with the laundry. Warm sun will dry them out nicely.
Miran.
Gosh, you came?
Yes.
What’s the occasion without calling?
Came to hang out.
How are you?
Good.
Oh. Come here, sweetie.
Who is this kid?
My grandkid. Isn’t he cute?
Grandkid? Oh, a relative.
So good-looking.
He’s a son of Yoonhee’s friend from America.
Ahh. Your guest. He looks familiar.
Sweetie, what’s your name?
My name is James Ahn Kim.
His smile is adorable too. Let’s go in.
Okay. Let’s go.
Take off your shoes. So adorable.
Drink.
Eat, little guest.
Thank you.
Good, good.
Have this.
This is my favorite, chocolate.
Oh, thank you. Thanks.
Thanks.
Miran. What are you thinking? What’s wrong?
Oh, nothing. I was thinking about what to give him.
You wanna look around my house?
Grandma, can I play in the yard?
Sure, sure.
Oh, yes. But don’t open the gate and go out.
Okay.
Don’t trip.
What does his mom do? How old is she? Pretty?
Why are you curious suddenly? Ask me one at a time.
How about his dad? Does he live with him?
He lives in Korea but they don’t live together. It’s complicated.
His grandma opposed them. His family isn’t an easy one.
So they broke up because of his family’s opposition.
Yes. They broke up a long time ago and met again.
James’ mom is having a hard time because of the mean granny.
So she had been living apart. What is she like?
Very able and smart. A very powerful financier.
I hope things work out for them.
I thought James looks much like his mom but I saw his dad.
And he looks just like his dad. It’s unusual to look so much alike.
Oh, I see.
Even strangers could tell that he’s James’ dad.
Miran.
Huh?
Your condition must be bad. We shouldn’t have come.
No, no.
You said James’ family is close to Yoonhee. I’ll invite them for lunch.
Yes, okay. She likes your side dishes so she’ll be happy about that.
When would be good?
Be careful.
James. You never saw that before, right?
No. What is it?
Very big container.
Very big container for soy sauce, soy bean paste, red chili pepper paste.
James. Your favorite spicy rice cake’s color is red, right?
That sauce is preserved here.
Where?
Inside here?
You like spicy rice cake?
He has the same palate as his dad. He’s been eating only that.
I would like to meet his dad too.
Really? James always carries his dad’s photo.
James, can you show her his photo?
I changed my clothe and I don’t have it with me.
Gosh, is that so?
Wouldn’t it be nice if Yoonhee gave us a grandson like him?
I know.
This breaks if not careful. Be careful.
Look. Why did you avoid me?
I didn’t avoid you.
I saw that you saw me.
Because you keep bothering me like this.
It’s nice though. Don’t you want a lover like me?
Look, Sunwoo Kim. I told you before. Don’t act like a kid.
Our lips met accidentally. Okay?
You got old for nothing. We did kiss…
We didn’t. It’s a kiss only if we shared romantic feelings.
How can a little kid like you know?
You really didn’t have any feeling?
Yes, yes. Okay.
Miss Oh.
Yes.
The design draft you submitted at noon is in review.
Stop by the experience center and check the colors with good responses.
Oh, okay. I’ll be back.
Boss, I’ll go for the leather sample textile marketing research.
We’re not in rush. You can finish by next week.
I don’t like to procrastinate. I’ll be back.
Hi.
Welcome, Mr. In-law.
Hi. Please give me coffee and cake.
Get yourself what you like too. I’ll buy.
For me too? Then have chocolate bread and Americano.
Okay. Get me anything delicious.
Please sit here.
Okay.
Here they are.
Okay.
Nice seeing you work hard.
I’m trying hard. It’s fun too. I like desserts.
Better than staying home, right?
Yes, it’s better.
I can come out and work since Miran helps me out.
I’d appreciate your help with Miran.
I’m the one who’s getting help from her.
I ask for your favor on Dr. Lee too.
Pardon?
Both are the people that I love.
If you can act less of an in-law, I’ll come and buy coffee every day.
Of course I will.
Grandma, I want to eat cake.
You do? Okay, I’ll buy you cake.
Black hair witch doesn’t come every day over there.
Who’s black hair witch?
Oh, James. No, there’s such a thing.
We’ll go there and I’ll buy for you.
Please eat. This looks really tasty.
Welcome…
Hyunsook.
You came?
James, go over there with this man and pick the cakes you like.
Gosh, who’s this cute young man? You look familiar.
Have I seen you from Soojeong’s kindergarten?
I came from Hong Kong.
Oh, Hong Kong? Let’s go and pick yummy cakes.
Okay. Bring a lot.
Let’s go.
Look at here. What would you like? This tastes good and this too.
Are you the black hair witch? You’re pretty though.
Black hair witch? Who told you that?
Hawaii Grandma.
Geez. That in-law granny.
Who says? Have you seen such a pretty black hair witch?
Let’s pick. What’d you like? This is good too.
Hey. Must you leave the dentistry to Yoonhee and giggle with that witch?
You’re the one who makes my daughter tired.
Who’s the handsome kid?
I don’t even want to talk to you. Besides, will you keep coming here?
Yeah. The coffee and cakes are good.
Hey, you. It’s not because you like that in-law?
Could it be? I haven’t thought of it that far.
My, my. How coy.
Hey, get up. James needs his treatment.
Hey, let me eat the coffee and cake.
You can take them. Get up now.
Come out. Get up.
So vicious. Darn.
What are you doing?
Better if the color is darker. Women prefer colors that won’t get dirty.
Aren’t you curious about this beating heart?
I’m curious but I’m working. Later.
Oh, I’m bored.
We’re working.
I’m working part-time.
I’ll be at the market cafe. Come when you’re done.
Ms. Chairman came.
Okay.
I thought the AJ investment is concluded. You frequent here too much.
Any company will have risks if it doesn’t analyze the results.
Ah. Planning to stay with the investment excuse?
I knew you’d have many excuses. That’s your special skill.
Your special skill is harassing people to make them leave.
You must’ve accepted my offer because it was reasonable.
Chairman.
Since when did you report to her? Is our company a small store?
I’m only following the investment agreement.
Will you report to me yourself then?
You’ve become bold.
CEO Kim is operating this company well.
It’d be better to talk business with CEO Kim than you.
So you want to go all the way?
Yoonhee.
Oh my gosh. Look at her. Look at her.
Chief Cha chases a woman and drinks coffee. Now Dr. Lee is sleeping.
James, is that supposed be the posture of a doctor?
Aunt!
Oh, you came? Oh, Mom came too.
What’s this pitiful sight? You really want to live like this?
Sweetie, my baby. Come to mommy’s house.
She said she doesn’t like mommy’s house. Dr. Lee is a filial woman.
James, let’s go with me to catch insects in your mouth.
Come here.
Okay, I’ll be there.
Hey, Yoonhee. Anything going on with your in-laws?
No, why? Nothing’s going on.
I went to your house to show James a traditional Korean house.
But Miran was in weird mood. She was spaced out.
Nothing’s going on. She went to bed early last night.
No, something was weird. There’s something.
Don’t bother.
If a mother-in-law’s having a bad day, she bothers her daughter-in-law.
I should appease Miran. No choice.
You got a bizarre habit.
Like what?
Not being able to tell the difference between business and private matters.
Whining like an insistent baby.
Stop uttering character insults.
It doesn’t look good to act like an immature young man.
Isn’t it an ill manner to always brag about your old age?
You want to be treated like an elder or what?
The most foolish thing is to waste time.
Talking to you like this has become meaningless to me.
I need to go back to work. I’m busy. Bye.
Father.
Yes.
You must be tired.
Geez, I can’t sleep because of Kihoon. Stop Yoonhee.
Tell her to hang out with him alone. Instead of torturing an old man.
Okay. I went to bed without video chatting with him either.
Father, it was so nice when Kihoon came home for the first military vacation.
He’s the first son so the whole family ate together.
When he kept visiting, we asked, “You came again?”
“Why do you come so often? You sure you are in military”?
- Right. - People are fickle
The first call from him was very nice. But now I prefer sleeping more.
That’s how it is.
Dalsoo starts working at Malsoon’s place from tonight.
It’d be hard on him. Why have two jobs?
It’s a temporary work.
He can just get reinstated. Why is he being stubborn?
Hard to get a job due to his age, right?
Oh, Oakboon.
You’ll be in conflicts with Grandma for a while.
I already expected it. I’m okay.
I’m worried about James.
Grandma can’t do anything to James. Don’t worry.
She’ll find the ways. She’ll find whatever means possible.
Buy me this too. Please include this too.
It’s separate.
Gyungshik.
Hey, miserly tightwad.
What are you doing? Why are you yelling at him?
Dad, you don’t know so stay out.
Why are you doing that? You shouldn’t yell at him like that.
You too, mom?
Calm down. What’s wrong?
He embarrassed me when I asked him to pay for a snack.
I never told you I’d buy it.
It’s only a snack. So miserly.
She only asked to buy a snack. You couldn’t buy her that?
It doesn’t cost a fortune. So unlike you. You buy coffee all the time.
You should’ve bought it. Wealthy man like…
I’ll buy it only if I wanted to, regardless of its price.
But I don’t like it when she forces me to buy it.
What? So you don’t like me? I don’t like you either.
You’re scared of spending $1.
Hejin. You don’t mean it. You like him.
Who says?
This is her way of being cute. She’s being cute.
When she has someone she likes, she acts hard to get.
Right? Right?
Right? You’re doing that because you like him?
Yeah right. Not at all. Noting in common. Not my type.
I have nothing in common with him. No reason to adjust to him either.
Hejin.
He’s rich and he acts miserly on a snack.
Why are you so happy? When I’m worried.
Worrying needlessly. Hejin is pushing and pulling
Pushing and pulling?
Hejin is using her brain. Playing hard to get will make a man anxious.
Gyungshik probably had many girls who chased after him.
He needs someone special. Hejin is playing the hard-to-get very well.
But he won’t buy her stuff when they are married. It’d be no good then.
That would depend on Hejin.
Will she do well?
We have to teach her well.
Do you go to a palace empty-handed? Does anyone become a queen?
Oh, so nice. This apricot flower tea is perfect in spring.
The scent is nice, Dongpal.
I felt stuffy these days but this makes it go away.
What’s wrong, Oakboon? You got some worries?
Spring is here but I feel like I’m the only one getting old.
I feel I lived a vain life. It seems Jisuk is growing distant from me.
Children are useless. Don’t waste time needlessly.
We should enjoy our life. It’s waste to ignore my passionate blood.
I’m feeling restless so I can’t pay attention to anything.
My goodness. Okay, that’ sit.
Get up, Oakboon. Let’s go.
Huh? To where?
Be quiet and trust me and follow. Get up. Come.
Okay.
Gosh, cherry blossoms are everywhere. Nice weather too.
Yes, it is.
Choi. You got the songs today, right?
Yes, sir. Just give the order.
Where are we going, Dongpal?
We’re driving through the flower road.
Gee. Just trust me and follow.
Choi, not the old songs. Turn on the young people’s songs.
The ones with spring scent.
I’ll follow your order, sir.
Okay.
Nice.
Oakboon. I don’t know how long we can live.
But let’s live fresh and energetic life till we die.
Dongpal.
Oh, it’s nice.
Go ahead.
Oh. Isn’t that Jisuk?
You saw it wrong. I want to eat other snack.
Dongpal, let’s get up. Let’s go somewhere else.
No, look. There. Tall. He is Jisuk.
Dongpal.
Oakboon, look carefully. It is him, right?
Who’s that woman? He’s with a kid. Who’s the kid?
Oh, he said he’d meet a friend. Must be that guy’s family.
There must be other people too.
Gee, they look good together. Like a family.
Jisuk should find his partner soon. You should find one for him.
I think we should go back now.
I should go say hi. He’ll get disappointed later if I don’t.
I’m tired. I should go and rest. I’ll tell him hi for you.
Okay then. That…
What happened? Nothing matched, right?
Told you to spend only $50. Now you have to wash cars all day.
You asked how I can work two jobs and now you entered the same path.
No choice. I should work hard as a head of household to feed family.
What’s a life? Good days will come.
We’re still healthy so we can earn allowance money at least.
What if we get sick and can’t earn money?
That’d be a tragedy.
We’ll be treated like dirty rags. If I lay sick, my wife will mistreat me.
Yes. Let’s go to work for our dream of not getting mistreated.
Let’s work hard for our future even though it’s lonely and difficult.
Let’s go.
I want to order.
Okay.
Mixed raw meat.
Raw meat…
I’ll take the order.
Okay.
You ordered mixed raw meat, right? It’d be delicious.
Cold kimchi noodle after you eat meat will be refreshing.
You must be tired. But please don’t yawn in front of customers.
Okay, I understand.
Oh, so hot.
Be careful.
Okay.
You should be careful too. It’s hot.
Here’s the meat. Grill in a small amount.
Flip it over when the meat juice comes out.
Cooking it for 30 seconds tastes best.
That’s right. It’s the right answer.
You’re funny.
Please enjoy.
Okay.
My friend who’s Yoonhee’s mother-in-law invited you and James.
Me? James too? She doesn’t know me.
Our culture is like that. Eating culture.
You get close by eating together with ones you’re grateful or you like.
Don’t feel burdened.
Mom, that granny is nice too.
We talked about you a lot. About dad too.
What did you talk about me?
Because you’re a close friend with Yoonhee.
Her daughter had an accident. She just wants to eat with you.
She must be very hurt.
Of course.
Yoonhee’s like a daughter to her. She’ll invite on Yoonhee’s day off.
Okay.
Yes, James.
You need anything?
I’m fine. So tired.
So hard to go around at my age. I just want to rest at home.
I want to have fun all day but there’s no one to play with me.
Should I add more TV channels, Father?
It’s okay. I saw Jisuk at the park today.
Pardon?
He played with this kid who’s his friend’s kid.
He should meet his spouse soon.
April 21st. My husband started second job.
Hard work at an old age. I hated him when not working but now sad.
Good days will come someday. What are the ways to live a good life?
I ask myself today again. What’d happen tomorrow?
I felt something odd when I saw the little guest, James.
To my dear mom. Your daughter works late tonight.
If even you miss me, don’t cry and just go to sleep.
I can get the drinks myself.
Rest every spare time.
Is my grandson growing big?
Of course, Mother.
Always watch your health and spend weekends at your mom’s.
Okay.
I heard James is with your mom.
Yes. Isn’t he cute? He’s mature, like a precocious child.
Have you ever seen his dad?
I’ve heard of him but never seen him.
Everyone’s busy so it’s hard to meet.
I heard James looks so much like his dad. James looks familiar.
So his mom and dad are meeting now?
James talked about his dad very interestingly.
He grew up longing for his dad. He learned Korean just to meet his dad.
His mom and dad still like each other? Don’t mind their past?
His dad had a woman. His mom worries he still hasn’t forgotten her.
I see.
Let’s eat lunch with James and his mom on your day off.
Shall I invite James’ dad too?
You scared me. You really scared me.
You like it.
If you don’t want a boyfriend then how about a bodyguard?
I’ve told you before, Sunwoo. I like taking it easy, like water flow.
Why do you play hard-to-get when we already kissed?
I told you it was a mere collision of lips.
My heart pounded like it’d explode.
My sister must’ve been in shock. To have her sister’s lips colliding with yours.
I’ve told you that I don’t feel the way you do.
Minji Oh.
<Family: Dongpal Oh, Dalsoo Oh, Miran Cha, Kihoon Oh>
