(Episode 9)
Prepping for law school? He's only a sophomore.
He decided on his path early.
Our next door neighbor's wife must've done something...
good her previous life to have a son like that.
Are you jealous?
I'd be lying if I wasn't.
I know he's smart but...
isn't it too early?
It's because you don't know.
These days, they start from elementary school and work their way up.
Then that's their parent's dream, not the child's.
Do our next door neighbors have a General or Supreme Court justice as relatives?
I heard you need someone like that to get into law school.
I'm not sure, since I have no one in my family like that...
nor do I have someone who want to go to law school.
I guess.
We don't even have money to send them to law school.
If we think about it that way, Ik-hee is a great kid. Isn't that right?
Your great daughter...
ditched tutoring because she had a stomach ache, but now wants food.
Mom! Hurry! I'm hungry.
Hey! Didn't you say you skipped tutoring because you had a stomach ache?
- Yep. - How can you ask for food then?
- Yep. - Can you get off your phone?
Oh my.
My tummy.
I don't know if you have a stomach ache or you're just hungry.
I thought about it and I think my tummy hurt because I was so hungry.
Of course that can happen.
- It's possible. - My goodness.
Bo-ram wasn't satisfied with being school president, now he wants to be a lawyer...
I wonder what my daughter wants to be.
Kang Bo-ram wants to be a prosecutor?
He's so irritating.
Why is he like that? I hate being compared to him.
Can you even be his comparison?
Whether you're grown or not, next door neighbor men are always irritating.
That's right!
Our neighbor's father is a good-looking branch manager too. I almost forgot!
Maybe their house has good feng-shui.
We're only a couple of feet away. We share the same feng-shui.
They could take more of it.
They own their house.
Since we rent, our owner's take a part of our feng-shui.
Of course that can happen. It's possible.
Are you two going to be like this? Why am I the only one worrying here? Why?
Aren't you worried what she'll become?
- You don't even have any dreams, do you? - Nope. I don't.
Na Ik-hee!
Why are you yelling?
Our Ik-hee may not have dreams, but she has other great qualities.
Why are you getting ahead of yourself?
You see? Ik-hee is good at games...
and she eats well too.
She also plays games well while she's eating too.
Let's just eat.
She doesn't want to to go tutoring or school. Nor does she have any dreams.
Whose daughter are you?
- Your daughter. - I don't remember having a daughter like you.
Think carefully. You had me about 15 years ago.
Geez!
Due to unemployment crisis and society's instability of the haves and have not's...
when questioning youth on their future, more and more answered they didn't know.
You see? It's not only Ik-hee.
Geez, when I see the unemployment crisis these days...
it's sort of wishful torture to even think about having dreams. Don't you think so?
The current generation who needs to forgo 7 priorities need to forgo countless...
Who am I talking to?
Hey! It doesn't make sense that you don't have dreams.
When I was your age, my dreams changed more than 12 times a day.
You must've been fickle from a young age. - Na Ik-hee!
If my dreams are going to change, why do I have to think about it now?
So, what was your dream then?
Housewife? An old lady?
What are you...
My dream...
- (Dream?) - (Future Aspirations) - (Vision)
Well...
- That's... - You see? Your dreams didn't go according to plan either.
That maybe, but you should still have dreams...
Fine! I'll think about it and tell you the day after tomorrow.
Satisfied?
Why do you look like that?
Honey...
what was my dream?
I remember having so many dreams...
but I don't remember what I wanted to be.
How would you remember that when you can't even remember what you did yesterday.
When I was young, people said I'd be a lawyer like the kid next door.
They said I'd rise from a humble family.
But I guess...
I'm just ordinary.
Who do I keep talking to?
(Stewardess?)
(Artist)
(Teacher)
(Doctor)
(Police)
Since my wife brought it up, I wonder if she really needs a dream but...
on the other hand I'm worried she doesn't have a dream at all.
Do you think it's because she's a teenager?
What was your son like?
My son had a dream. A dream he's had since he was 5.
- What was it? - A millionaire's son.
Whoa!
He was dreaming big.
What was your dream Mr. Park?
- A car racer. - Wow! That's pretty cool.
- Did you have an interest in driving? - Nope.
The racing girls were really pretty.
- What the... - It sounds like you.
Didn't you have a dream, Ms. Ahn?
My dream was to be unemployed.
- What? - Unemployed? - That's a dream?
Why?
I never had a day off from working.
I worked 2-3 part-time job...
so I dreamt of being unemployed when I became an adult.
But my workload is still the same now.
What was your dream?
It's kind of embarrassing to say.
What was it?
Yeah, now we're more curious.
- What was it? - What was it, Kwi-nam?
Trans...
- You wanted to become that? - No, not that.
A transforming...
robot.
- A robot? - Why are you making fun of his dream?
All your dreams didn't come true either.
She is right.
They always say to shoot for the moon, then at least you'll end up with the stars.
What have you been thinking about all day?
Dream.
Dream? What kind of dream?
Did you have a dream last night?
No.
I didn't so I'm thinking about it.
What's that supposed to mean?
Have you ever wanted to be something, Min-suh?
Why would you ask me that?
It's my mom's homework.
Mom, when I was growing up, what did I say I wanted to be?
- Was it a teacher? - Mom, that was your 4th daughter.
Was it?
You don't remember either?
Hey. How am I supposed to remember when you don't either?
I'd remember if I had only one or two daughters.
Geez, I know I wanted to be something.
- What was it? - I remember.
- What was it? - Seotaeji's wife.
She was so crazy about Seotaeji and Kids she would...
- sing like that all over the neighborhood. - Not like that! My real dream!
What's wrong with you today? What's all this talk about dreams?
Are you trying to find your identity at this age?
I don't understand you since I have fulfilled my dreams and still dreaming.
It's you I don't understand. Please wake up from your dreams.
Stop dreaming and get married.
Why would you bring that back up? Am I unemployed?
I'm a professional dubbing artist for SBS.
You might be professional, but no one asks for you!
Seriously?
I'm on the radio regularly with my voice impersonations. Do you want to hear?
Won-ju! Won-ju. I'm Jeon Won-ju!
My goodness...
I am bothered by the sense of shame as to why I became a voice impersonator...
Be quiet! Stop it! Hurry and go home now.
You're here every other day. Hurry and go home.
- Stop eating my stuff. Get going! - But I'm not...
It's almost time for sales at the market. Ill see you later.
Let's go together.
Yeah, forget dreams! My dream is about getting to the market on time for sales.
Whoa! Oh my goodness, my apples! Oh no!
Are you okay?
Does it look like I'm okay?
She should come and apologize or pick these apples up with me.
They're all bruised! What a shame! What am I going to do?
Oh my! What am I going to do?
I'm sorry.
I was driving myself since my manager wasn't here.
Manager?
An entertainer?
Oh my! It's that woman!
You know, the vixen from "Love and Truth."
Yes! You're right! She's the national poster child for affairs.
May I repay you for your apples?
Look here! Instead of paying me, how about you pick these apples up with me?
Maeng Ra-yeon?
- Do I know you? - Oh my gosh! It's really you!
It's me! it's Ji-young.
Min Ji-young.
Yes, I know you're the actress from "Love and Truth" but...
Hey, girl. It's Min Ji-young from theater class at Kangshin High School!
Whoa! That Min Ji-young?
Oh my gosh!
Your face! All this time I just thought it was just another person with the same name.
I'm so happy to see you, my friend!
I'm sure you didn't expect me to take that role since...
I was so modest when we were in school.
Let's get in my car. Let's talk in there.
- I have to pick up... - It's been ages since we last saw one another! Let's go.
Take them off. Don't they bother you?
People will recognize me...
and they'll endlessly ask for pictures and autographs.
It'll be chaos.
You'll be lucky if they don't curse at you.
Hey! Have people tried to hit you on the streets?
Hey!
I'm an international start. I've even started working in China.
- Of course I had to return because of THAAD. - Is that so?
Do the Chinese recognize you as an adulterous wife too?
- Maeng Ra-yeon! - Oh my gosh!
Hey! I'm not death, you know!
You really can be mean sometimes.
Fine.
Let's say I'm a vixen on television, but what about you?
Are you the national poster child for old women? Look at your T-shirt.
What the heck?
I can't believe I'm seeing this kind of fashion in Seoul. How embarrassing.
Who cares? I'm not going anywhere.
Even dogs are allowed to do what they want on their turf.
Do you think that's a good comparison in this situation?
I'm just saying a lot of people wear this kind of stuff in my neighborhood.
Hey! Drink it slowly! Slowly! No one is trying to steal your juice!
- It's because I'm thirsty. - Geez, this is so sad.
I didn't know a friend of 20 years would have changed this much.
You changed way too much.
- It's your face that's changed. - What did you say?
I'm busy.
Let's meet up next time with our friends.
Hey!
To be fair, don't you think I would be more busier than you?
It's been so long, but you're really upsetting me.
- How's your husband? - My husband?
My gosh! It's kind of scary when you ask how he's doing.
Remember? There was that one episode on "Love and Truth."
Old high school friends meet but one steals her husband and takes over...
Are you going to keep talking like that?
I'm just kidding.
It just means that your acting was splendid, that's all.
Geez, girl.
My husband...
works for a beverage company. He's a salary man.
- You're not married yet, are you? - Of course not.
The variety of roles an actress can play goes down when she gets married.
But you always play the same role.
Again?
Alright.
Anyways, as much as I'm happy to see you, I'm also shocked.
- We used to fight over the lead roles, but you live like this. - What?
What's with the dumbfounded expression?
Oh! That's right!
I was in theater class!
That's right. I wanted to become an actress!
What are you talking about? I just said that.
Thank you!
I just remembered!
Oh my.
I have to go now because of my schedule. Give me your phone.
That's my number.
Come over since I have the day off the day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow?
I think I might have something that day.
Old housewives don't have schedules!
Since you live close-by, come over. We can gossip. Alright?
Okay, sounds good.
Hey, Na Ik-hee.
How's it going?
I'm not doing well.
- Why not? - Because of you.
You're still not respecting me like an older brother!
- And what about me? - I heard you wanted to become a lawyer.
It's really tiring trying to live next door to you.
- How's Gong Yoon? - What's it to you?
My future prosecutor! I came at the right time!
- Mom! - Yes, my future prosecutor?
I'll give you a ride to tutoring after you're done eating.
Oh my, Ik-hee! Hi!
Hello.
- Are you going to tutoring after dinner too? - No.
I'm coming home since I only had 1 class today.
Oops! You come home this early in the evening?
Oh my god!
What are you going to do about your future?
Future?
Put your hands up! Yeah!
Oh! Jesus!
Ik-hee...
I'll support you no matter what your dreams are.
- Did you think about what you wanted to be? - Yeah.
- I even came up with a plan. - Really?
- Honey, Ik-hee has a dream. - Great. Good job.
What is it? Tell your dad.
First, next year...
Yeah? Next year?
I want to be freshman.
The year after that, a sophomore.
Continuing onto junior and senior. After that, 4 years in college.
I've planned it up to there.
- Just eat your dinner. - Okay.
Today's plan is to have dinner!
Honey, what are you thinking about?
Honey, I...
remembered my dream.
What dream?
Oh! What was it?
My dream...
was to become an actress.
Isn't her dream more shocking than mine, dad?
Yes, totally.
You're taking it too far. An actress?
Why?
Does it seem unrealistic because I met you and I'm living as a housewife?
I used to be in pageants and I was part of an amazing theater class.
I know...
you were Miss Manila Clams.
I'm done. I'll think about my dream again.
Thank you for dinner.
What's wrong, honey?
Get the hell out of my face. How dare you laugh at my dream?
Get out! Get out of my face!
Still... how can you say such harsh words?
Wasn't I good?
I'm a natural, aren't I? Oh honey!
I want to start acting again.
Why suddenly acting?
We're barely eking by with your salary.
It's better if I work rather than stay at home.
I was thinking I could be a minor role actress.
But Ik-hee still needs you around the house.
I like it better if you could...
I'm not saying I'll be out everyday, just part-time.
- Part-time? - Yeah!
Honey! It feels like my heart is beating again!
Can you feel my heart beating?
Hearts are supposed to beat.
You shouldn't do this with family members.
You should welcome it since you'll have 2 paychecks now.
But can she do it just because she wants to?
It doesn't mean it'll be easy even if she gets a gig.
I heard it was really hard.
But it was her dream.
Then try transforming. It was your dream!
Transforming robot!
Geez, you sure are mean.
What do you think, Mr. Choi?
I'm more amazed that actress Kim Ji-young is your wife's friend.
Tell her I'm a big fan and get me an autograph.
I'm really worried, Mr. Choi.
All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players.
A quote from Shakespeare's "As You Like It."
You have to let her do what she wants.
You're being facetious since it doesn't concern you.
Are you going to let your wife start acting if she wanted to?
She's already acting.
When she wants something, she uses her coy voice and says, "Honey, buy it for me."
She's wicked when she acts.
I'm really serious, Mr. Choi.
Why are you already worried? Worry about it if she starts.
You never know. You might have to quit and go with her to an awards ceremony.
That's right! Life is full of surprises.
What?
You want to start acting?
I don't care if it's a minor role or if I'm an extra. I want to start all over again.
I am familiar with a director, but I don't know for sure.
I'll try talking to him.
Thank you!
My gosh! I can't tell you how jealous I am of you.
Your house is so nice!
I'm the witness! I definitely saw them!
I saw him with my own two eyes!
I saw that trashy bastard get in a car and drive off with another woman!
Honey, I'm trying to eat.
Oh! Eat. Go ahead and eat.
How can I eat when you keep doing this around me?
I really feel like I've become trash.
Is my acting that real?
It's not that.
- You're really going to do it? - Yep.
I'll be a witness on a reenactment show.
I'll have 4 scenes and a couple of lines.
The pay isn't bad either.
- Do you really have to do it? - Why?
The thing is...
I'm afraid you'll be tired.
Acting isn't easy.
I really want to do it.
It's the weekend tomorrow, so go ahead and order something with Ik-hee. Okay?
(Next day)
Isn't it weird without mom at home?
I don't hear her nagging and we order food that's yummy.
- It's okay with me. - I guess.
To be honest, this is about 20 times more delicious than your mom's cooking.
200 times better.
Do you think...
your mom is doing well?
I am...
the witness!
I... no, no, no.
I...
I definitely...
I definitely. What was it?
Cut!
Geez!
I can't take it anymore!
I'm so sorry. May I try one more time? Just once more?
Do you know how many takes we've done? I thought you acted before!
- Were you lying? - No! I wasn't.
I was in theater class. I was even the lead once.
Theater class?
- Director Jo! - Yes?
- Call actress Min, right now! - Yes, sir.
May I try once more? Just one more time, please.
- I promise I'll do it right this time. - This is your last chance.
Let's go again. Ready!
I am the witness.
That trash. I saw that...
Having a pet is on the rise these days...
Oh! I thought of what I wanted to be.
- Is it real this time? - Yep.
It's my lifelong dream.
What is it?
A dog owner.
I totally love dogs but mom won't let me have one.
I'm desperate. I really want to be a dog-owner.
Think about it again. Something else.
Okay.
(D-day)
- Today is the day, isn't it? - Yeah.
- What was the channel? - SBC.
Wow! Dreams really do come true.
- I'll watch as well, Mr. Na. - Geez, you don't have to.
It's not long, but I heard she has a couple of scenes and some lines too.
- It's at 11. - You should buy her a bouquet of flowers when you go home tonight.
There's no need for that.
Did she die?
But no one reported it?
I thought someone had contacted them.
Dad.
Did you see mom, dad?
She came out awhile ago.
When? Where?
I didn't see.
She was there.
- You must have dozed off. - Who, me?
No, I didn't! I didn't even blink!
It's late. You need to get to bed since you have school.
Let's go to bed.
Are you okay?
How...
how could they do that?
Do you know how hard I worked?
I know. Who did the editing for this? This has to be some kind of accident.
But you did see...
my arm, didn't you?
Your arm?
Oh, that arm!
I knew it was your arm. Really.
Did you see the back of my head too?
Yes, of course I did.
It looked good on camera.
Then that's all I need.
I told you not to do it.
Those damned bastards.
They had an accident during editing.
Even the director called last night apologizing.
Oh, I see.
But we saw her arm and the back of her head.
You saw it, didn't you, Kwi-nam?
There were so many arms on the show, I'm not sure...
I saw her arm and the back of her head. Tell your wife she did a good job.
I could tell on the first time. How is your wife though?
Well, she's okay.
She's out working again today as well.
She's really busy these days.
Why didn't you do better?
The director only paid you because of me.
I guess it's hard to act suddenly after only doing housework.
Forget about it.
I understand what you're trying to say, so stop.
- Here. - What's this?
Give it back to the director.
You need to control your temper.
You should get paid for working.
I thought I was awful. You said he only paid me because of you!
I don't need it. Take it back to him.
Maeng Ra-yeon, don't do this. This isn't right.
You must think I'm pretty pathetic, don't you?
You don't know how I feel.
You don't know how jealous I am of you...
and how miserable I feel right now.
Hey! Do you know I'm jealous of you?
- Are you making fun of me? - I'm being serious.
Your kid is already in junior high school, you live off your husband salary...
and you eat dinner with your family every night.
Don't you remember? You wanted to marry someone like Seotaeji and raise kids.
You kept on telling everyone your husband looked like Seotaeji at your wedding too.
Of course no one agreed with you.
What I'm trying to say is that there's nothing wrong with your life.
You don't know how I feel since you fulfilled your dreams.
I'm sorry but...
I haven't fulfilled my dreams yet either.
I'm still dreaming everyday.
I get nervous, lonely and sometimes I even regret my decisions.
I'm not sure if this is what I want yet either.
- Geez, girl. - What's with that look now?
Hey! You don't need to feel sorry for me.
I'm still...
actress Min Ji-young.
It's great when people recognize me...
but it also makes me realize it'll be hard for me to change acting roles too.
So I've tried to reject roles where they ask me to play a lady who has an affair...
but if I do that, no one wants to cast me.
I've been so busy working, I don't have a friend I can talk to.
That's my life right now.
Hey...
you have me.
Thanks!
When you're free, you can have dinner with us and see my husband.
Why?
- I thought you were afraid to show him to me. - No, it's alright.
I'll give him to you. Take him.
No, thank you!
Alright, I'll visit you soon. Let's have dinner together.
Okay, let's do that.
How long has it been since we ate a home-cooked meal?
Whoa!
Your cooking skills got worse since you didn't cook for a couple of days.
Your hands never life, honey!
Just kidding. Your stews always taste mysterious.
It's something only you can do.
Start eating, Ik-hee.
I'm only eating because I need to grow.
Na Ik-hee...
- You skipped tutoring because of a stomach again? - I felt better after pooping.
Who do you take after that you make so many excuses?
- You! - Right? I didn't think you took after me for that.
Now, you two should be happy for me. I finally have a dream.
Other than being a sophomore or a dog-owner?
Yep. This time it's really my true dream.
What is it?
Gong Yoon's wife.
Just eat your dinner.
Do you know how long ago Goblin ended?
Not Gong Yoo, but Gong Yoon.
- Who is Gong Yoon? - My boyfriend.
What?
- Are you okay, honey? - No.
Ik-hee!
Don't dream! You don't have to have dreams!
I want to!
- You told me to have dreams. - Not anymore.
Be a dog-owner, I'll buy you a dog.
- Honey! - Nope. I want to be Gong Yoon's wife.
I told you, you can't!
Are you okay, honey? Geez.
It's not surprising she has a boyfriend when she's in 8th grade.
I would be in less shock if I heard that...
you had a boyfriend.
- What did you say? - Who is this bastard? How dare he?
You make me think about my father.
This is the exact way my father reacted...
when I told him I was dating you.
Are you...
- okay? - Geez.
It's only natural for her age to start discovering the opposite sex.
I'm talking about you, not Ik-hee.
Me?
I don't have any feelings left for acting anymore.
When I thought about it...
I realized I had other dreams.
And I've already fulfilled all those dreams.
What were they?
I wanted to marry a man like my father...
and be a mom like my mother.
I also dreamt of you getting hired.
I dreamt of providing for our family with your salary.
And to have a child who looked like us.
See? All my dreams came true.
Oh, honey.
And recently, I realized I had a new dream.
What is it?
For Ik-hee to have a younger sibling.
Geez!
Don't worry, it's not like I want another one tonight.
When your salary is a little bit higher...
that's when.
Alright, sounds good. Let's do that.
I want our family...
to live happily ever like that and...
have a grandson...
and a granddaughter.
After retirement, we can live in the country...
while quietly tending to our garden.
I hope we grow old together there...
while sunbathing in the sun.
It really does sound like a dream.
But...
all those dreams will come true.
Of course.
I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep. Have sweet dreams.
You too, honey.
Let's meet in our dreams.
That's a bit...
