If I ever... Seriously.
- Get me some water. - Okay.
What were you going to do if it weren't for me?
You thought you found a gentle daughter-in law,
but you were totally stabbed in the back.
Are you a poor judge of character?
How is it that you, Shin Hyung, and So Hyung all are poor judges of character?
- Mom, water. - Oh.
Get me some water too. Cold. With lots of ice.
Shocked? I was more shocked.
I was so surprised the moment I saw her.
I was completely shaken. It was going to come right out of me.
Stepmother, you should become a better judge of character.
How could that bitch--
- Makes me feel dirty-- - You did well, you did well.
What would we have done if you weren't there?
What's the occasion? You're taking my side in this.
I said that I definitely saw her at the nightclub, but no one believed me.
I was so frustrated I felt like I was going to die.
Later I started to question whether I even saw her there.
My eyes are so keen and they said I was mistaken.
Stepmother.
Do you know what she was like?
- What was she like? - It's better that you don't know.
I don't want to know either.
I have to go lie down.
He's enjoying it. He's completely enjoying himself.
He's so proud of himself that he could die.
Go Hyung's words are right too. You didn't believe what I told you.
Just the thought of it all makes me feel horrible.
That girl totally--
My mouth is so bitter that I don't even want to talk about it.
It's a good thing that Goo Hyung mentioned it early.
What good is it? They're exactly the same for meeting at a place like that.
How was she so homely?
She can't put a drink to her lips?
She would stare down like this and act all coy.
I told you that she's royally coy.
- When? - Search your memory a bit more, Madame Chun.
Then you should said it more boldly!
And when was it that you outcasted me and you two would roam around together.
What was Shin Hyung thinking when he agreed to marry a girl who's been around like her?
Huh? Wouldn't he know afer a few dates?
My word, how could he be such a poor judge of character.
Caught up in her innocence. How unbecoming...
To be honest, men are poor judges of character when it comes to women.
If you act coy and demure, they think that you're a nice woman.
It's obvious to any woman.
Men are morons. Shin Hyung is a moron too.
How is that all the women Shin Hyung brings home are like that.
My word, what does he see in those women.
My word, My word.
It's only Shin Hyung's age that's getting older. He's still like a child.
This won't do. Tell that girl to come here.
I can't-- I can't possibly let this go.
Let's see that homely face once more.
Let's see her one more time.
Right. I want to see her face once more too.
This phone is currently turned off and the party you are trying to reach....
- It's turned off. - It's off?
What does she think she's done well to turn off her phone?
Wouldn't you turn off your phone if it were you?
I would.
- Should I call the dating manager? - Tell her to come immediately!
Awesome. That's awesome.
Somehow, I knew I saw her somewhere.
You're enjoying yourself.
Is breaking off my engagement something for you to applaud over?
Of course you have to applaud this.
Friend, I'm sorry that I couldn't figure it out sooner.
I'll buy you some drinks as comfort instead.
You must be feeling down, right?
- Rather, I feel relieved. - You're right.
You looked like a calf being lugged around.
That's why you don't get married in a fit of anger!
- It wasn't a moment of anger. - You're not fooling anyone. It was rage.
Weren't you planning on getting married because you were burning against Ah Ra?
It wouldn't be the first time that someone in Korea got married and was ruined.
How could a person do this to us? How unbecoming...
- I'm sorry. - Will saying sorry take care of this?
I know that saying sorry won't take care of ths situation,
- I wanted to at address my apologies-- - Forget that.
What is that? We're...going to do that.
What do you mean by 'that'?
Compensation for breach of contract.
That. We're doing that. So be aware of that.
There's no way in the world this could happen.
These kinds of things have to come out on shows like 'Where in the World'?
Should we contact the show?
Well, it would be fun to appear on that show...
It would ruin our family. Don't contact them.
- What will you do? - What?
I completely understand that you must feel angry and unjust.
If you would like to be compensated, then we have no choice...
We will make sure to carry it out.
How will you make sure to carry it out?
We will pour out deeply
**** carry that out.
What did she think of such a prestigous family--
Will this be resolved by a ***?
Madame Chun, please calm down.
If you wait a little longer we will find a great woman as a match for Shin Hyung.
Also, So Hyung.
For free. We will make a match for her for free.
Really?
We'll catch that royal bitch Jo Shin Ae,
We'll make her get on her knees,
and make her beg until her tears, snot, discharge all come out.
Forget it.
I don't ever want to meet a girl who keeps her phone off and ran off like that,
Just call her into your office and scold her there.
And from now on, take better care of your members.
How could you introduce us to that girl.. How unbecoming...
I will remember that.
Move your legs so they form an A.
An A.
Good!
Just bend over a little like this.
- Like to the back? - That's right! That's right!
Make the A bigger! 1, 2, 3! Kick!
Are you okay?
Come here.
- What are you doing? - Hey!
Why are you making such a fuss over working at a day like today?
- Let's go out. - I have to finish this by today.
- I said it's on me. - Let's do it next time.
You're no fun. I waited for no reason.
Don't try to interrupt me and go home early.
I got it.
- Give me a bottle of soju. - Yes.
- You want us to break up? - Yes.
If it were me, I would have already broken up with her.
Why must you be the one to earn money?
A son-in-law is also a child, so of course I have to.
But you're not their son-in-law.
Ki Han. Listen to me.
Just break up with her.
Noh Linda. I've never thought about that.
You can start thinking about it now.
You give all the money you toil over to earn, you pay off all of their debt.
Don't live like an idiot.
You're a kind and good person, so if you break up with that woman,
I feel like your fortune will get better.
My fortune as gotten better because I've met her.
It hasn't gotten better.
It's unfair that she's stepped on you.
It's not, Noh Linda. I didn't look good before I met her.
You look worse now.
I can't talk to you.
That person says that too. That she can't talk to me.
I can talk to her just fine though.
Ki Han, I'll teach you what it's like to live like a human,
so come on a trip with me on your free day from work this week.
A trip? I can't.
On my day off, we're cleaning the house and I have a lot to do.
That money ...when can you pay me back?
What?
- No Ra! - Yeah!
- What? - It's mallow soup. Taste it.
- I can't trust my taste. - I know it will be delicous without tasting it.
It's perfect. Perfect.
Mom, how do you make this so delicious?
It looks like you're just putting things together to me.
When you make mallow soup, you need plenty of hot water,
and make a broth with dried shrimp.
Then you put in a little soybean paste and then it's tasty.
Anchovy broth doesn't bring out the flavor.
You skin the mallow--
Mom, wait a second. I have to write it down or I can't do it.
There's nothing to write down. You cook through your senses.
If you keep cooking, you get a sense of these things.
Fermented soybean paste is delicious so anything you cook with it will be too.
I have to teach you how to make fermented soybean paste too
Teach it to me slowly one thing at a time.
But Mom, it's perfect even though you didn't taste it once.
It's amazing.
Those who taste test in the middle of their cooking aren't professionals.
- But people who taste test people are the real professionals. - What are you talking about?
There are people who meet people just to taste tests too. Professionals.
If they like it, they like it. Why would they taste it?
Only rotten people take a taste beforehand.
You're right.
What are you going to eat from now on?
Do you have any skills or any knowledge of anything?
You have to learn how to make a meal for after I pass away.
Talking about your death again. Stop talking about it.
Is there anyone in the world who doesn't die?
Even if you're good at making one dish, you won't worry about eating.
What's important is that the way to people's hearts is through their stomachs.
You have to be generous. And feed others.
If you're generous to this person and that person, you won't have anything left over.
You always have something left over. There's always something left over.
That's life.
If you believe in one person, they'll take from you somewhere else.
If you something's left over somewhere, it's taken from someplace else.
That's how the world works.
Our mom sure is impressive.
What?
It's a lofty wish.
I wish I could live for 10 more years like other people.
So that I can live with you.
Mom.
Mom you won't die easily.
You have a lot to learn too, Mom. You have to teach them all to me.
That way I'll live and won't starve.
If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have left home or caused Mom pain.
and stayed by her side.
That just about kills me.
Why was I so immature?
You can start being good to her now.
The things you couldn't do, you can do it all now.
Without stress.
I'm usually the type to let things go easily...
You bitch.
For a girl whose temper flares easily,
you should have pulled my hair back to stay but what did you do?
If things go as they do... and Mom is gone...
...how will we all live?
Look, I'm pretty wicked now too.
I'm not worried about Mom, but worried about how I'm going to live without her.
Children are useless.
It's cold out, so why did you ask to meet outside? You could have come in.
I have somewhere to go. Eat these before they get cold.
What is it that it's so warrm?
- Fried syrup pancakes. - You came all the way here to give me these?
Yeah. Did you eat the yellowtail?
I ate it so well I wasn't sure if it was going in my nose or my mouth.
I've only seen them. It's the first time I've eaten them.
- Where did you get that precious fish? - Someplace.
If it is, then send me a lot of them.
I will eat it.
It must be that you ate the yellowtail, but your face looks good and flushed.
Not only does it look healthy, I think I can live nowadays.
Now I'm worried that I'm going to live for 100 more years.
You want to live that long?
I was thinking of getting married another time.
Take it. I'll be leaving.
Hello.
Oh, it's me Chun Yeon Duk.
Let's meet up this afternoon. I'm in a bad mood.
I feel a lot better after talking to you.
- No Ra! - I'm hanging up!
- What Mom? - I said I'm going out.
Why are you in that room? Ah Ra doesn't like you being there.
This girl acts like the madam of this house.
Mom, I'm the older sister. Me!
I know. Who said anything?
Guard the house.
- Where are you going? - You don't have to know!
Why are we meeting in the street?
- Where are we going? - Come inside.
- What is this place? - This place is great when you're feeling down.
- Oh my! - Be careful!
It's dark and what is everyone doing?
They're dancing because it's dark. Would they if it was brightly lit?
I'm getting dizzy. I'm leaving.
How unbecoming. Stay a bit. It's so much fun.
Hey, should we ask for a few guys to come to our table?
Don't do that. Let's just look around and leave.
Let's go over there.
What am I going to do with you? What am I going to do with trash like you?
At my age, it's expected I won't get hired.
Why do young people live like that? At my age, it's expected I won't get hired.
But why is a young man like you living like this?! Why do young people live like that?
I don't have any skills or work experience. Why do young people live like that?
I don't have any skills or work experience.
My back hurts so I can't even exercise!
To call you my child...
I'm so embarrassed!
- Where are you going? - Shut up, boy!
This. What do you think about it?
- It still looks useful. - Hey.
You sit in it too.
It's awesome! Father, it's a swiveling chair.
- When are you going to sit in one of those? - I just did.
A horrible son born horribly is sure being stubborn.
And that's a compliment still. Pick this up and bring it home.
- What about you Father? - There's someone I need to meet.
Should the old and young unemployed bums be hanging around together?
- I'm so embarrassed of you. - How can you feel embarassment among family?
Father, it's heavy.
Don't break a wheel by dragging it home. Carry it.
A chair is a back's life.
A wheel!
Oh boy.
Should we ask them to pair us up and go dance there?
- A job? - A waiter is good and so is a janitor.
I'll do anything you ask me to do, Dol Pal.
I'm still healthy! I can still pop off the bottle caps!
All the ladies fall for me!
Dol Pal, I'm begging you.
I don't have a spot open right now.
Why don't you just drop by for now? Drink some soju while you're here.
Yong Pal, that woman from last time is here.
What a temper.
- The air must be bad because I can't breathe. - Do you want to step out?
Yeah.
You should wait. The man from last time is coming.
Really? He said he's coming?
I told you he is.
- I'm leaving first. Meet me after you meet him. - No, no we should see him together.
- I'll set you up with someone. - No.. my breath. It's suffocating.
Hey Sung Ae!
Sung Ae!
Are you all right?
- I think I can live now that I'm outside. - Oh my. Let's go drink something refreshing.
I didn't even know a place like that existed.
Everyone was squished together and causing such a ruckus.
There's so much in this world I didn't know. I thought I did everything there is to do.
What did you do?
- Have you played golf? - No.
- Have you gone overseas? - No.
- Have you been on a plane? - No.
I've never eaten anything that was over $40 a person,
I've never had raw fish over $10 that slid down and melted in my mouth either.
I've eaten those things.
How do you plan on dying if you feel so angry and unjustified?
I'm not sure.
I only have one life so I should live it out.
Hey, let's go on a trip and have fun.
Huh? My husband was supposed to live for 6 months,
and lived for 5 years. By the looks of it, you won't die easily.
I'm thankful for your words.
How nice would it be if I lived like that?
- Where's Mom? - Don't know. She went out because she was upset.
Look at the mess you've caused.
- You little... she didn't take the car? - No.
- What is it that has you so down? - My son's engagement was called off.
- When we were meeting her parents. - Why?
Girls these days are so scary I can't tell from by looking at them.
Oh my, the parents who must have sons must be so scared to marry their boys off.
- What happened? - I don't want to talk about it.
Your daughters aren't like the other young ladies these days, right?
My daughters have got the perfect bride potentials.
I'm even opposing a doctor who's chasing her right now.
A doctor too? Even a doctor isn't good enough to consider?
She must be amazing. What does she do?
She works in television.
She has a high position at a broadcasting network.
She's got a lot of employees working under her.
Oh.
All the men love her and the entire neighborhood wants her as a daughter-in-law.
The matchmakers love her so much that they break down our door.
You don't know how many times I had to change our door.
Oh dear, that's a lie, isn't it?
Of course it's a lie.
But it's not all a lie.
But why won't you marry her off?
After she saw me get sick, she's been adamant about not getting married.
That's how filial my daughter is.
She can just get married and live her own life.
But she's worrying about me.
If she does get married, she'll take good care of her parents-in-laws.
You're right.
The ones who've learned at home are definitely different.
Oh dear. I wish I had a daughter-in-law like that.
- Mom where are you? - Okay. I got it.
My son is coming to get me because I didn't take the car.
- He's a good son. - If only he met a good woman.
If they see me like this, they'll just shake in fear.
That's nice. That you get to live like that.
Must be because you're rich that they know to get scared.
You have it better, what are you talking about.
- Let's go outside. - Sure.
- Go. - You should greet my son when he gets here.
If you like him, I'll introduce him to your daughter.
I can't send her to anyone I want her to.
She's pretty stubborn.
A person needs to be stubborn.
Oh he's coming now.
- Mom. - Shin Hyung.
- Say hello. She's my friend. - Mother!
- Wh-what is this? - Do you know each other?
How do you know each other?
She is Ah Ra's mother.
Wait. Are you Ah Ra's mother?
You're Shin Hyung's mother?!
What a small world.
I'll say. What in the world...
Unbelieveable.
- I told you it's over. - What do you mean? What's over?
Hey, can't you see her again?
- You didn't like her. - You made me not like her!
You dragged her in here to greet me. And you lied that she was pregnant.
Oh my. What did she do wrong?
Now that I think about it, she wasn't all that hateful and she had good fashion taste.
Family harmony is the most important thing out of anything!
She's so wanted that the entire neighborhood is jealous.
Huh? The matchmakers line up at the door.
- What are you talking about? - There's something like that.
Go and do whatever you can to bring her here.
Mom.
- Mom. - Try seeing him again.
- Forget it. - Listen to me.
You're going to sell yourself to the doctor because of me,
and do you think I'm okay with that?
- I'm not being sold off. - Well it feels like that to me.
People need to be matched with those who are meant for each other.
A young lady needs to meet a young man, and ****
Why is a young lady selling herself so cheap?
I'm not selling myself so cheap! Mom, your words...
The bus has already left. He has another woman.
They've broken up. They've definitely split.
I heard that they were meeting each other's parents.
They ended the engagement at the meeting.
- I told you that we're over. - It may be over for you two, but not for me.
How can people meet like this? This isn't your normal everyday fate.
There's so many "What in the world"-worthy moments lately.
Should we actually go on that show?
I've met Shin Hyung's mom a few times and she seems like she has a good heart.
She does see other people as laughable because she comes from a rich family.
If he says he wants to do it, then do it.
If you just gently scratch their butts, then it looks like everything will work out.
Mom, I'm telling you again but Shin Hyung and I are already broken up.
Do you think getting back together after splitting up will work?
Shin Hyung broke up with that woman.
He couldn't say it, but it looked like his heart was in torment.
I'm bored because I don't have a show to work on today.
Your honey is really busy. He's up to his neck in work.
Do you want to come to the hospital later this evening?
I'll buy you something delicious.
I know what you're talking about, Mother.
I'll go meet him tonight.
Don't worry about it and rest.
Don't worry about anything at all.
How am I not when I already know?
Does it make sense that a young lady marries a divorced man?
And how does she expect to raise someone else's child?
In times like these, we have to stop them. Come out strong, okay?
So that they won't meet each other anymore.
Yes?
- What brings you here? - If you're not busy, I'd like to have a word.
To be honest, putting being polite aside,
I'd like to tell you directly.
Even though Ah Ra has said that she will marry you, Doctor,
Our mother's current level of concern is not typical.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I know that I lack in my areas.
I didn't come here to listen to what you had to say.
I wanted to tell you where my family stands.
[Academy Director]
I was married, and I do have a child,
but I'm confident that we can live happily.
It's an embarrassing past, but I also gained experience from that.
Ah Ra will letter better with me than any other man.
That's not what I mean...
There's your child. A child is involved as well--
This isn't something that can be settled because you two like each other.
I'm also a man, but I don't understand you Dr. Cho.
How can a father... to a young lady, ask her to marry him so easily?
In other words, you either don't have a conscience,
or you find my sister laughable or you want to pick on our family?
It's definitely not like that. I've never thought that.
I know that I am thick-headed.
- But we're both not at an immature age, - Our Ah Ra is 31.
She's never been married and has never had a child.
I'm saying she's not like you. Is it...
...that she believes in the fact that you are a doctor--
Wait. We shouldn't be doing this here, but we should have a drink someplace--
Director. I stepped out because I had some business to attend to.
I will be back soon.
I don't have time to go grab a drink and waste time,
I don't have anything else to say. This is all I have to say.
I came here to ask you not to see our Ah Ra again.
Please consider it just once.
It's not something that I considered lightly either.
I understand that it's possible that I'm cursed as potential son-in-law,
but what can we do if our hearts are already in sync with one another?
A marriage is an issue between the man and woman involved.
Ah Ra is also an adult and I believe she can make her own decisions.
So, are you saying that you're going to drag this to the end?
Yes.
I was going to be nice because you're the doctor treating our mother.
But you're not cooperating.
How can you not understand what someone is saying to you?
How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not here to listen to what you have to say?
I'm unbelievably busy but I took out time to come out here.
If I told you that much then you should have come out saying,
"I will think about it." "That was narrow-minded of me."
I should be hearing something like that. How can you so stubborn?
I don't like this about you as well.
I'm telling you this one more time, but my mother is firmly against it.
And I think the same as well.
I will never allow anything that causes my mother pain.
Don't meet Ah Ra again!
I will not stand by if you meet her after this.
Given what your situation, I hope that you understood.
Ah Ra.
I'm disappointed in you.
Dae Ra, this isn't right.
How can you come at him like this?
I'm not a child, Dae Ra. I'm not at the age for you to stop me anymore!
It's what mother wants. And what I want as well.
- Dae Ra. - I'm not sure if my method was wrong,
I said what I needed to say to him.
No matter what you say, my heart won't change.
Ah Ra!
Ah Ra!!
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about anything my brother says.
He has a reputation for being short-tempered at school when he's frustrated.
My heart will not change no matter what my family says.
Thanks.
I feel energized after that one statement.
Let's exchange these.
- It hasn't been a week yet. - As a sign of apology for my brother.
I'm hungry. Let's go eat something.
Today won't do. You heard him that he wouldn't stand by if we met.
When should I meet Ha Ni?
I want to see her soon. Set up a time for us to meet.
- I'm sorry. - I'm so appalled I can't speak.
You weren't even available by phone.
Teacher Na, were you this kind of person?
How can you go and do your own thing whenever you please?
This is a preparatory academy where our students study intensely.
A preparatory academy!
I was just out during dinner time-- I will go in to class right now.
Going like this is inappropriate. Please see me after class.
- Hello. - Sit down. It's been a while.
You've gotten prettier.
She was always pretty.
- What would you like to drink? - I'll have coffee.
Don't drink coffee. Have something good for your health.
You should have the best one here.
- Excuse me. You have fresh squeezed juice here right? - That's really okay.
You should have some when my mother buys it for you.
Give us three glasses of those.
You're surprised that we suddenly asked to meet you, right?
Is there something wrong with Shin Hyung? He wasn't at work today.
Is something the matter?
My brother is in no mood to be going into work.
My heart will hurt from explaining and my lips will hurt from telling you.
Well, putting everything aside...
...can't the two of you start over again?
What?
I mean, I know that you felt hurt because of me.
I wasn't like that in the past, but my husband died,
I became prickly, and I wouldn't recognize people from time to time.
Understand that it's just because I'm getting older. Huh?
You heard from your mother right?
Does this happen everyday? It's a sin if you let this slip past you.
It would be completely unbecoming of her.
I'm sorry but I have nothing else to say regarding this issue.
I'm not looking for you to answer now, but can't you consider it for a few days?
It will be the same even if I consider it for a few days.
I will be leaving first. I will pay for the drinks.
- Uh, wait-- - So Hyung, I'm leaving.
- No, don't pay for the drinks! - What do we do? Do we catch her?
Leave her be.
She's not your typical lady.
How can she just blurt that it won't happen!
It would be perfect if she married into our house.
Look how different you are. You're so submissive. How unbecoming.
For now, we have to catch what we can catch.
Even if he makes a fuss later on.
Tell your mother to stop asking for me.
My mother came looking for you?
You know what I mean, right?
Sorry. It's what my mother thinks, not what I think.
Of course.
They must have become friends when they met at the hospital.
Don't worry about it. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.
I heard you called off your engagement. You probably don't feel too great.
Of course it bugs me that I disappointed my mother.
You want to ask what I think?
What do you think?
I'm ecstatic. Really.
She said this and that so that we wouldn't marry for seven years.
And you get married to a woman in two months after an arranged date?
Serves you right.
You--
What were you doing in the elevator and not going upstairs?
- I forgot to press the button. - Where is your head?
Choi Shin Hyung, when are you getting married?
- They split up. - Why?
She seemed all right. She came with lunch and seemed like she'd be good.
Na Ah Ra. You should learn a thing or two.
Will you get married with that unfriendly nature of yours?
Of course she can't.
I think so too.
You're like the old maid in our company.
Isn't there a way to get you married?
How about you two getting married?
- Forget it! - Forget it!
Right? You two don't suit one another.
I forgot too.
What's wrong with me lately?
We'll have to make rice with bean sprouts for dinner tonight.
That sounds delicious.
It's great without seasoning and we have it with rice.
You made it so well when we were younger.
Do you think I did it because I wanted to?
I wanted to make you all regular rice a thousand or ten thousand times.
You eat it for the taste now, but I made it because we didn't have anything then.
I wanted to stretch how much rice we had.
I put in radish, and beansprouts, potatoes and sweet potatoes,
and dried radish greens.
We all used to pass gas so well because of that.
We passed gas at school and we were embarrassed and scolded.
You're right. Our family would flatulate one after another.
Rice with radish is great for people who have upset stomachs.
Mom, the wild ginseng must be working. Your face has gotten prettier too.
You think it's just my face that got prettier? I feel great too.
I feel like I'm going to get better if I eat once more.
- I'll talk to Dae Ra. - Don't do that!
If you do, they might get divorced.
They're getting divorced?
If we just bluntly ask for more wild ginseng, do you think they'd like hearing that?
Forget it if they don't get it for you.
Just wait. I'll earn the money and get it for you.
He's urgently calling you. It's Yong Pal, isn't it?
- What does this mean? - What?
They're saying he's been stationed for advanced individual training.
Joo Ra sent it? Where did he go?
Private Na Joo Ra of the 7th division, Unit 23, has been stationed.
Army Headquarters.
It only says that.
He's young and it's cold out.
How hard training must have been on him?
He probably has the entire world cursing at him.
It's not enough for him to be cursed at.
We were going to pay him to go.
A kid like him needs to leave the house and go through some suffering,
"How I wasn't a man, I caused my mother pain, I caused my sisters pain,
and now I'm getting punished for my actions, and now I get it."
And he'll get his act together.
But you're upset that he'll be cursed at because he's your child?
I'm sorry that I didn't say anything because he's not my child.
- I've said too much. - Huh?
No. I wish he got a break soon.
I miss him.
Don't worry. I hear the army has gotten a lot better lately.
I wish Ga Ra would finish up soon.
He has to come out so we don't worry about our finances.
Salute!
New Recruit Private Na Joo Ra,
On December 1, 2011, I received an order for special training.
***. Salute!
- Mom I'm hungry. - Wait a bit. Let's all eat when Dad gets here.
- You don't get to see him that often. - What is that?
- Spicy pork stir-fry. - What's spicy pork stir-fry?
Stir-fried pork. Right Mom?
You're right. Go wash your hands. Your father will be home soon.
Oh, he's here.
- Dad! - Dad!
My kids! I would have forgotten your faces.
It's because you're always late Dad.
I know. That's my fault.
- What is this that it looks so tasty? - Spicy pork stir-fry.
Okay. Let's eat something great and nice for once.
- Me too! - Me too!
What are you trying to be classy over eating dinner?
I made a lot. Eat as much as you want.
- You two go wash up. - Yes!
- What about Byul? - Sleeping.
Don't disturb her and just watch.
It will only be hard on me if you wake her. I just put her to bed.
I won't. I won't disturb her.
Our family treasure.
I spoke with my mother, and the wild ginseng has been really great.
She came by the house during the day to thank us.
Wild ginseng must really work for those who absorb it well.
It would be nice if we could do it once more for her.
What did you just say?
Let's let it pass. Let's eat.
Dae Ra. I won't stop you from being your mother's son.
It's not like I can stop you so you can do what you want.
On the condition that you earn it with your body. You can't use money.
I'm earning it with my body right now.
Like you wanted, I teach kids from dawn to late at night. What more do you want?
Be honest.
You work at that academy because of Mother.
You barely blinked an eye when I made a fuss,
but you went because of your mother's sickness.
In any case, I'm doing what you want me to do.
If we didn't have the money, then there's no way, but if we did...
I want to to set up a wild ginseng shop, not just get her wild ginseng.
If it meant that she would be cured, I would have sold this house.
But you know better than anyone that it's not necessarily true.
I said my two cents. If you do something else, then figure it out on your own.
And do what knowing that?
Who is that?
- Eun Jung, thank you for the meal. - Sure.
Did you fight with Eun Jung?
She looked off at dinnertime.
What do you mean? If I open my eyes wide, she can't budge.
That's in the past. Nowadays, you're a pushover.
Pushover? I'm only pretending to be a pushover.
It's because you bought Mom wild ginseng, right?
No, because Eun Jung wanted to do that.
Where did you get the money?
I'll figure it out.
Where did you get the $10,000?
I quit working at the school. I'm working at the academy.
- When? - It's been a while.
- I bought it with my earnings. - I didn't know.
It was your dream to become a teacher ever since you were young.
I knew that you were wanted here and there because of your skills,
It's hard, right?
It's nothing compared to what Mother has done for me.
It's not like I sold my body.
The benefits are good too.
That's a given considering how hard it is for academy teachers.
You're not built for academy.
You have to yell at the kids, discipline them, and gain their respect.
It's different for academy teachers.
But the teaching is the same. Keep it a secret from Mother.
I'll tell her when I think it's time.
You're a really filial son, Dae Ra/
And you're not? You want to get married for Mom's sake.
Reconsider that issue again.
Dae Ra, can't you leave this to me?
I can't yield to that!
- Dae Ra. - Let's not talk about it anymore.
- Just because he's divorced-- - But he's not just a divorced man!
He has a child!
I'm worried about that too, but I promise to do my best.
This has nothing to do with doing your best.
- Dae Ra, I will... - You will do what?!
Is this worth being so stubborn over? You are thick-headed as well.
Why can't you tell him that you're reconsidering because of your mother?
Don't you know what's doing what's right for mother?
I made a decision Dae Ra. It won't change because you're against it.
It only causes that person pain.
I've gone through it too. The pain of being rejected by Shin Hyung's family.
I still remember that.
If it's meant to be, I don't want to give him that kind of pain.
Dae Ra, I beg you.
I won't ask you to agree with that, just keep watch okay?
You are being unreasonable.
She's already made a decision, so why are you acting like this?
Stay out of it if you don't know.
What don't I know?
To put it bluntly, what's so special about Ah Ra?
What?
You might see her as special because she's your younger sister,
but she's not really that special compared to the world's standards.
Her academic background is normal, she's normal looking,
She just has a regular job. Her family background is obvious too.
What's so particular about her?
How can you always put things in that way?
Even if she's not a special young lady,
how is it a given that she marry a divorced father with a child?
Who said it was a given?
No one is nagging her to, but she wants to herself.
She's not an immature child, but she asked that you keep watch.
I just gave my honest opinion. Is there something wrong with that?
If she was to marry a young man with a good family, she wouldn't be treated as well.
She's not capable of handling that on her own.
Even though he has some flaws,
It's not bad if she marries a settled divorced father,
and is loved, and yells at him, and spends lots of money.
How can you always phrase things like that?
I don't want to sell Ah Ra off.
- Who said you're selling her-- - If Ah Ra was your younger sister--
--would you tell her all of this?
How can you be worse than a stranger?!
Do you want to meet Ah Ra?
Do you think she'll listen to me? She won't even listen to you.
- Don't you see each other often? - We're both busy so we don't meet up often.
We call each other sometimes.
I saw her last year at the reunion but not after that.
I don't know what to do.
Mother is concerned. As am I.
Dae Ra. Trust Ah Ra.
She probably won't have any feelings for him,
but it's probably not just because she's in it because of her family situation.
She's smart so she probably thought it through.
She's not the type to jump into it without a thought and plan.
Do you understand why she's doing this?
I think I do.
You do? What's with kids these days?
I thought you were different.
If I were ever in Ah Ra's position,
if I felt like I really like that person, and that I felt like I need that person,
then being a divorced father with a child wouldn't be that big of a problem.
The person is important.
He made that seaweed soup so delicious last time.
How did he know that it tastes better if you put in abalone?
He's lived alone and it's his specialty.
- How do you feel about him? - About what?
You're my child but I have no idea how you feel.
If you like him, then you should tell him so.
All you do is flare you temper at him and bite back.
But he still likes me because of my con...con...confidence.
- His eyes are skewed. - They are.
We have to get married.
You two decided to get married?
I haven't told him yet.
With our current situation, how can I bring up marriage?
I don't know about anything else, but he seems like a nice man.
Will being nice bring food to the table?
Then you can both earn money.
You don't need to look for anything else in a man. It's the best if they're nice.
Well... it's not easy meeting a man like him in my life.
He always takes my side and believes in me no matter what I do.
He said that he'd believe me if I told him that I was a man.
He's someone who would clean my feces if I pooped.
He's the only person who would do that.
Would you marry him because he would clean up after you?
After I worked with that grandmother, cleaning up feces became important too.
Even your children wonn't clean it and run away.
Even though a parent can raise a child, I guess a child can't raise a parent.
When I see that, I pity parents and feel bad for them.
And you know how to feel pity and feel bad for the parents?
Yeah. I'm sorry that I didn't know.
Now I know.
Mom don't worry. I'll clean it for you.
On the condition that when I clean it, it's $1 each time.
Rotten little-- $0.10.
$0.10 is too cheap!
It's a $1 each time I clean it, and after the 10th time, it's free.
I'll even give you a stampcard.
You're not even a pig hock delivery.
- My word.. - It's cheap! $1! $1!
[Closed]
- They're closed? - That's what it said.
He didn't say it was his day off. The jerk..
Leave him alone. He probably went to run errands.
What errands does he have to run?
- W-wait a second. - Don't pick it up.
I can't.
- It's me! - Hey, where are you right now?
- Huh? - Where are you?
- T-th-that-- - I saw that the store is closed.
What are you doing without telling me?
- There was someone I needed to meet... - I'm usually the type to let things go...
You're really funny.
I told you not to do that.
Hand the phone to the girl next to you.
What are you doing? Hand the phone to the girl next to you.
She said to hand the phone to the girl next to me. What should I do?
Hang up. Hang up.
Hang up.
- Hello? - Honey...
Are you all right? No Ra is just joking around.
I don't know what's keeping you out, but take your time.
Yes, I understand mother.
I'll be on my way quickly.
- I want to go home. - Just ride this one more time before you leave.
And have dinner.
I can't!
Noh Linda, I'm leaving first!
Ki Han! Ki Han!
Hey!
When was it that I told you to come home? Why are you so late?
Who did you meet?
- A-a friend. - What friends do you have?
All your friends in Seoul ditched you after you called them.
- But I still have friends. - You're messing with me.
Is it so much for you to clean the house on your day off?
What you doing roaming around and not helping my sick mother?
You can't even earn your keep.
You seem to have gotten fresh now that you made a little money at the chicken restauarnt.
Good for you!
Sorry. I'll wake up early and clean the house tomorrow.
You better!
Who is it?
- What? - The woman you've been meeting.
I didn't meet a woman! It's the truth!
What kind of woman would want to meet a man like me?
Well, that's true...
But that's strange. It's the same perfume from last time.
I don't smell anything!
I've got the nose of a bloodhound.
My antenna's up so be careful. Just try and get caught by me.
I'm usually the type to let things go easily...
but I won't stand for that. You know that, right?
I know.
Don't get too firm a grip on him.
A man is a man after all.
If he did something bad, he should be cursed at.
He's the only person who will accept your temper.
Speak more gently and coax him.
Don't act so pricky!
- If it were me, I would have already left. - If he wants to leave, he can leave.
Don't cry over it in regret, and do well by him while he's still around.
- But it's really strange lately. - What is?
Whenever he comes home, he always smells of perfume.
- Hello? - It's me, Linda. Noh Linda.
I mean Linda Noh.
What is it? Why are you calling at this hour?
I have something to tell you, Ki Han.
- Please come over to the house right now. - I can't go now.
If you don't come... I might die.
What? You can't die.
Don't die, Noh Linda! Noh Linda! Noh Lin--
She can't die.
Honey. Honey!
Ki Han!
I was on my way to your house, Ki Han!
Where do you think you're coming to?
Noh Linda. Don't say that you're going to die.
There are so many people who want to live but they can't,
how can you say something like that so lightly?
Did you come because you were worried that I might die?
It's enough that you're not dead. I'm leaving.
Ki Han. Can't you come to me?
- What? - I'm going to divorce my husband.
- What? - Let's live together, Ki Han.
Break up with that other woman and come to me.
You're not even married to her so you can just move out of that house.
I can do everything that woman can't do for you.
What will you do?
My husband is rich.
We're going to split our affairs and I'll inherit money from him.
A big apartment, a big car...
I'll do everything you want. I'll give you a big allowance.
I'll let you live like a king.
That's because... you're the one I love.
Me? You love me?
Come to me. There won't ever be another chance like this.
Catch me. Say that you'll come to me.
What are you doing right now?!
- Mother! - What's going on here?!
Mother, it's not like that!
You stay out of this for now.
- What kind of fox are you? - What?
- I'm not a fox. - What did you just tell Ki Han?
Love? You'll do everything for him so he should go to you?
You little!
This is the man my daughter loves...
Let the both of us die today.
Mother, don't do this!
You're already sick you can't tire yourself out!
Stay out of it!
If I weren't here, my daughter would have never known!
I can't see my daughter go through this!
Come here.
What are you trying to get at with my son-in law?!
You have a husband and where do you get at?!
Do you want to die today?!
You wily bitch!
Ki Han! Save me!
- Somebody save me! - Save you?!
You still don't get it!
Who are you asking to save you?!
Who is going to save you?!
This fox doesn't get it yet!
Do you want to die today?
That doctor was a divorced man?
Is that all you were?
He's a divorced father?!
This isn't right! No matter how much you're doing this for your mother!
- Does this make sense? - Last night...
Did you really go out to get some air?
There's something strange going on.
Just watch me catch you.
Bring Byul over. Mom wants to see her.
Right now?
She washed her hands 10 times and brushed her teeth 3 times so she can see her.
Are you worried that she's contagious?
Lady, there are a lot of people who chase after my dad because he's cool.
You're just another one of those ladies.
