(Episode 38)
I'm going to go crazy! Why didn't she wake me up?
Honey! Honey!
I'll be going home.
My gosh.
I quit my job.
I went to go learn something. Wash the dishes after you eat breakfast.
I'll be late.
Geez...
I'm already depressed from being unemployed.
Now you want me to eat alone?
I don't have an appetite.
And it tastes bad too!
What are you learning?
Why doesn't she learn how to cook?
The thing I was most afraid of...
wasn't that I'd lose my job.
Every morning when I got up, I wouldn't have anything to do.
The reality that the empty space I tried...
to fill with all desperation...
didn't make any difference if I was there.
Ms. Cho, try some of this fish.
You go ahead and it eat, it's not like I'm a kid.
It's because I want to do it for you.
I feel full just watching you eat, Ms. Cho.
My goodness.
People are watching.
Who's watching us? It's only the two of us.
- Someone is watching us. - What?
What? Where?
Over there.
These days...
I feel like he's glaring at me.
I also feel bad too.
Geez, it's because you're thinking that way. That's all.
Right?
I'm afraid if I take down the picture...
he'd be upset about that too.
I don't think it's right to take down your family picture.
What should I do?
Then, how about this?
What?
Well, if we put her picture up too, you and I will be the same.
Somehow...
it feels like the burden has grown twice as much.
It's because you're thinking that way.
And plus... I think both of them will understand us.
You think so?
Wait!
I think Mr. Choi should be back from his trip.
Now, now. It looks like we're half-way done with junior high school.
It's about time we start pull away from junior high and start...
getting ready for high school.
We'll begin individual counseling from tomorrow on to see...
which major you'd like to choose.
Please think about what you'd like to do and we'll go in numerical order.
That's all you need to know. That's it for me.
Attention. Greet.
- Thank you for your time. - Thank you for your time.
How can he be so perfect?
What should I talk to him about during my counseling time?
What's with that sigh?
I'm worried about my major.
That's not like you, Na Ik-hee. Why are you worried about that?
You have a best-friend like me and a great boyfriend.
That's why I'm worried.
My boyfriend goes to an elite high school...
but I'm as normal as you can get.
Wasn't your trip way too long?
I thought I might die from missing you.
Look at you. Why would you copy me quitting my job?
It wasn't fun going to work without you there.
I was stabbed in the back...
by my buyers, who I gave out favors to for the past 15 years.
The new witch...
demoted me to temporary section chief too.
There wasn't any...
no, there was...
only one reason for me to stay.
- What? - Ik-hee and my wife.
They were my biggest reason and that's why I stayed for so long...
but I couldn't.
If I knew you'd quit, I should've held off.
Are you really going to be like that?
You did well. I was worried what I'd do by myself.
Right?
Aren't you glad the both of us are unemployed?
How was your vacation?
Here.
It's okay. I'll drink it when I need to.
It's only good if you take it on-time.
I'm unemployed, there's no reason for those tonics.
Have lots of energy while you're taking time off. Now, hurry. Here.
Here.
Honey...
how come you're not asking me anything?
About what?
Why you quit your job?
Yeah.
I'm already proud of you for withstanding it this long.
Honey.
Why are you looking at me with those doggy eyes? Stop it.
I'm sure it means the same thing, but can't you call them puppy eyes?
Hold on a second.
- Here. - What's this?
Find out for yourself.
Honey!
What's this?
What are you doing?
This isn't alimony, is it?
Why are you over-reacting?
How much is all this?
$3,000!
This isn't Sparta! It's not $300 but $3,000?
Honey...
you've worked for the past 15 years without going on vacation...
and couldn't even spend the money you made.
Use it!
What's wrong with you? I don't deserve this money!
- I'm not giving it to you for free! - You see, it is alimony!
I knew you'd throw me away.
Geez, stop it!
Honey...
you can use all of it in one day or use little-by-little for the next 10 years.
Just promise me one thing.
What?
You'll decide what you...
want to do or what you plan on doing, before all this money is gone.
Thank you.
But what are you learning these days?
Something.
It's only 3 times a week. I'll tell you later.
Doesn't something seem suspicious?
She gives me money and keeps leaving the house, saying she's learning something.
When you watch dramas...
aren't women nicer when they're having an affair?
I bet kids don't come to playgrounds as much as we do.
Is this the only place you know?
I guess you're right. Where should we go next time?
We can't go to tutoring classes together.
Well, karaoke rooms, escape room cafes...
movies and cafes. There's so many places!
Okay.
Let's go get burgers tomorrow.
Whoa! You picked to eat burgers out of all those choices.
You didn't eat since you're jump-roping these days.
I'm not hungry!
That...
wasn't because I'm hungry.
It does that when I get mad.
Wow! You must really be mad.
Stop it!
Geez! You're pretty even when you're mad.
- I'm not hungry. - Then, you're really mad.
No, I'm not.
Bo-ram's rebellious stage must've come late.
That's what I'm saying. It's getting me so upset.
I wouldn't be talking to you if it wasn't that bad.
He doesn't go to tutoring so I don't know what he's doing these days.
He goes out everyday and returns the time when his tutoring classes end.
But I don't think he goes every other day.
Really?
You must be worried.
There's also sand and dirt on his clothes too.
He even listens to pop songs. He's totally changed.
Isn't that too bad...
is it?
Ra-yeon! I'm really upset!
Do you think Bo-ram is that type of kid?
The bigger problem is...
I think he has a girlfriend.
- A girlfriend? - Yes!
He put a password on his phone.
I overheard him talking and he said, "Good night and I hope you dream of me."
Does that even make sense?
I'm not sure what the problem is.
You're right. You must be very upset.
If you ever meet that girl...
make sure you break her legs and scold her until she cries!
Ik-hee even has a boyfriend. Of course, Bo-ram would have a girlfriend.
Where are you going, honey?
I'm meeting Mr. Choi. I'll be back.
Okay, have a good time. Come home early!
After Mr. Kim went to go live with you, Ms. Cho...
you haven't come out once to hang out.
What made you want to come out together?
Geez.
When I'm at home...
I keep on looking around.
Looking around? Why? Wasn't it just you two at your house?
- There's two more. - Wait...
who?
Someone.
Wow.
The air is nice today.
Wait a second. One, two and there's two more?
Yes, Min-suh.
Bae Min-suh. Have you thought about your major?
I just want to go to a regular high school...
and then attend a college. That's what I want to do.
Then get married and have children.
Yes, that's right.
The hardest thing to do is be common.
Is there anything you'd like to do?
- I do. - What is it?
I just want to...
get married to you, professor.
Yes, Min-suh. You could feel that way when you're a teenager.
I used to have a big crush on my professor as well.
Wait until you go to college...
I bet a really charming guy is waiting for you there.
- So, Min-suh... - Just wait 5 years for me.
By then, I'll be 20 years-old and in college.
Min-suh, I'm really...
worried about your future and your major. That's why I'm taking this time for you.
That's why you can be responsible for my future.
I have a girlfriend.
- Liar! - What?
You think I'm lying? There's nothing wrong with me.
I heard you talking to you mom a couple of days ago.
Yeah, mom.
Geez, what do you mean a girlfriend?
I'm busy working so I don't have time to go on dates.
I'm sure I'll meet someone, but I'm not considering marriage yet.
I need to save money and when I'm more secure.
I'm think it'll be in about five years.
So don't be in such a rush, mom.
Okay.
You're getting married in five years too.
- You see? We're in the same time frame. - My gosh.
Look at the time. Tell the next person to come in.
Wait! I still have a lot of worries about my future.
To be exact, our future.
Fine. If you rank first in our school and come back 5 years later...
I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
Coffee?
You just asked me out on a date, didn't you? Alright!
- Min-suh, you can't take it... - You promised!
I'll rank number 1 and coffee in 5 years.
Okay, well... I'm not sure that kind of day will come.
Wow! This is sweet as honey, Mr. Choi.
Yes, it's very refreshing.
Not the shaved ice.
I'm saying...
it's sweeter than honey that it's so leisurely at this time of day.
I agree with that.
I say, we should have a lot of fun. So much fun, we get tired of it.
Let's do it!
That's right!
That's why I'm going to study hard from now on.
I'm going to rank ♪1 and five years later...
I'm going to propose while drinking coffee with him.
You have an illness.
Do you think you can rank ♪1? It'll be really hard.
You must not know love since you're still so young.
Love makes all things possible.
I don't know.
- Should I go back to tutoring classes again? - Yeah, let's go together.
If you go, then I'll go.
That's why there's the old saying, "You'll follow your friend to tutoring classes."
- Isn't it to Kangnam? - Is it?
Yeah, a tutoring class in Kangnam.
Isn't it the same thing?
You're my friend, but you're way too innocent.
Let's go.
Hello.
My goodness! It looks like our VIP customer is here!
- Who, me? - Who else?
If you come, you're VIP. If you don't, then you're no one to me.
I'm so glad to see you this early!
You must be from Choongchung Province, me too.
- Where's your hometown? - Eumsung, Choongbu.
Oh my goodness! What's this, this is so sudden!
I'm from there too!
You're from my hometown! It's so nice to meet you.
- I hope we see more of one another. - I'd be so thankful. Come, sit down.
Take a seat.
What would you two like to order tonight?
I'll recommend something since you're from my hometown.
I have something really fresh tonight.
What is it?
Soon-dae.
Soon-dae can be fresh?
It's fresh because it came in today!
I wouldn't joke around about that.
Everything else came in a couple days earlier, I only got soon-dae today.
Then, give us a plate of soon-dae.
- A bottle of soju and beer too. - Okay.
Hold on.
It's not easy playing all day. It's hard.
There really isn't anything easy in this world.
There is. Studying.
That's what everyone says, "Studying was the easiest for me."
When is Mr. Park coming?
I guess in an hour since they need to get off work first.
- Let's start without them. - Sounds good to me.
Okay, you're right.
I can't leave and keep you alive.
When you get to a certain point of wielding your sword...
- Mom, should I start tutoring classes again? - What?
I'll be in high school soon, I should start studying.
Is the herbal tonic finally starting to work?
I want to go back to tutoring classes.
- Did you make up with Gong Yoon? - It's over with Gong Yoon.
Don't ever mention him again.
Why are you getting mad?
I'm going with Min-suh. Is that okay?
There's no reason to stop you if you want to get tutored again.
Okay.
It's been 2 hours, why aren't they coming? Should I call them?
You know how it is.
They called you awhile back.
They said they'd come in a bit, but it's way past that.
It's not like you haven't lived that way. Have you forgotten already?
I guess.
You're right.
Mr. Choi! Cheers!
Welcome!
My goodness. Your party is over there.
Cheers!
There's not much to life. Drink up. Drink!
I was always confident of my work performance.
But all my big customers pulled their investments...
so I don't know if we'll close my location today or tomorrow.
That's what I've been doing.
Dong-won...
first...
hold off.
Hold off until they fire you.
You quit even though you know that?
It's easy telling other people to hold off, isn't it?
Mr. Choi, to be honest...
it still hasn't sunk in.
I feel like I'm dreaming.
When I wake up in the morning, I feel like I need to get ready for work.
I even dream about going to work.
Of course you would, that's how you lived for 15 years.
I also dreamt of going to work last night.
You two drank together?
- Geez, honey! - Honey, get a hold of yourself.
- You should go in. - You go ahead too, Ra-yeon.
My goodness!
That's someone else's house!
Geez!
- Should I wake dad up? - Leave him to sleep more.
Hurry up and eat so you can go to school.
You know I'm coming home late, don't you?
Don't worry, I'm not a kid.
I'll make sure I get dad his dinner too.
My Ik-hee is all grown up!
Are you okay?
What?
That dad quit his job?
It's time dad got some rest too.
He's been working there since I was in your stomach.
I've never seen dad take a vacation.
I think you need to take some rest in your life.
My goodness.
If you're okay, I'm okay with it too.
Ask your dad to buy you dinner instead of cooking for him.
I gave your dad a big allowance.
- Really? - Of course.
Is that right?
Alright, Ik-hee.
Did you think about your major?
Yes, I have a plan.
Great! What's your plan, Ik-hee?
An elite high school. My goal is to attend an elite high school.
- Professor? - Oh! Yeah. Sure.
An elite high school, Ik-hee?
How can I get admitted to an elite high school?
Yes, well...
there's a way...
Yes! Tell me how.
If you concentrate on Korean, English and math.
If you study really hard...
it might be possible.
Korean, English and math.
Okay, professor!
What?
It's him.
Why are the two of them there?
Bo-ram didn't go to tutoring classes again?
What's that all about?
No way.
Then, was that fortune teller right?
You two will be bound together. Congratulations!
Oops!
This doesn't make sense. I can't let this happen!
You two look much better these days.
Maybe the worst enemy was stress.
Yes, it's good to see that you two look great.
Yes, you two look good.
Maybe because we eat and play all day.
It's better than hearing that we look bad.
How are getting along, Kwi-nam?
I'm still not used to farming, but I'm learning a lot.
It's also fun.
That's good to hear.
Any good news from you two?
Geez, Mr. Na! It's not good to meddle in things like that.
Oops! Sorry.
It's okay.
But...
we do have a change in our relationship.
What is it?
Loaner and borrower.
Are you sure it's not the other way around?
What's wrong with you? I'm rich.
He borrowed money from me to buy more land for his farm.
He's going to pay me back with added interest.
I might have to live the rest of my life with her because of that debt.
The interest is too high.
Wait a second! We need to tell Mr. Choi and Mr. Na the good news.
You know what?
Tae-hee has a boyfriend.
Congratulations!
Who is he?
Our company's new guy.
Are you talking about that...
Yes, they're like two lovebirds.
I'm not sure if she's at work to date or to get work done.
You're not one to talk, Ms. Ahn.
I learned it from you two.
- That's right. - You guys were our first couple.
Alright, fine! Let's live it up. I'm buying tonight!
Eat as much as you want.
Excuse me! Can we get 5 orders of beef ribs?
- What? Beef? Beef! - Wow, Mr. Na!
How did you know I was at home today?
What's wrong? Did Bo-ram get you upset again?
Ra-yeon...
what are we going to do?
We?
About what?
I think Bo-ram and Ik-hee are going out with one another.
So you're saying...
that you're not happy because Bo-ram is going out with Ik-hee?
Well, I'm not saying this because it's Ik-hee.
Bo-ram should be studying these days.
How unusual.
I understand Bo-ram is a good student but...
aren't you making a big deal out of two kids innocently going out together?
It's not innocent.
Contact! I saw them kissing one another!
What?
- My Ik-hee? - Yes!
Why do you look like that? Is there something wrong?
Nothing.
But, why do you look like that?
The thing is...
What did you say?
You only have $100 left from your $3,000?
I took my old colleagues out for dinner...
and went here and there with Mr. Choi.
So, you used all of that money?
$3,000 in 10 days?
Not all of it. I said I have $100 left.
You told me to do what I wanted.
But still!
I don't know.
I asked to keep one promise to me.
Keep your promise.
I thought you spent half on her necklace and ring. Why didn't you tell her that?
I can't tell her now since I'm using that as our anniversary present next week.
When I thought about it, I haven't bought her...
an earring since we got married.
When else will I be able to buy anything for her?
This is a dud again!
- What are you going to do? - If I knew, I wouldn't be here.
Do you have any plans, Mr. Choi?
I don't have any plan yet either.
That's right, mom. Don't worry.
I said, I'll pass this time.
You won't need to worry after I become a government employee.
A guaranteed retirement age and a pension.
That's what I said.
Yes, that's it!
- What? You're going to take a public official test? - Yeah.
Where else will I find a more secure job? Don't you think?
That's true, but...
there are so many people who take that test. Will you be okay?
That's why I have to work hard.
The government has decided to put additional funds towards public official jobs.
Employees are putting in their resignation and going to tutoring classes.
You see? The government is helping us out.
Okay.
You did keep your promise to me.
If you want to do it, try it.
- Let's go. - Okay, let's go!
Mr. Choi? Who said studying was the easiest thing to do?
Is it an illness to get sleepy anytime you see words?
The black things are words and the white part is paper. That's all I got today.
Maybe because it's our first day.
Let's work even harder tomorrow.
What's wrong? They're scaring me.
I'm so sorry for bothering the both of you but...
I'm afraid your medicine will get cold. Can you come get your medicine?
Which one is mine?
- This one. - This one?
Honey!
What's going on, dad! Why are you drinking mine?
I need to drink it so I can get smarter too.
My brain is too rusty. Drink mine and have more energy.
No! I need more of that tonic too!
- What the heck! Give it back! - I already drank it all!
I need to study.
- But mom! - Be quiet!
Geez, they can't even last an hour. Why make such a big fuss? My goodness.
I thought something was strange.
Something went in my eye.
- Where? - Can you blow it out?
What's going on over there?
(Episode 38: Life, it's being tested)
(Super Family 2017)
You're going out again? What are you learning?
Would you know if I told you? I'm learning flower arrangement.
- Public official test? - I think you two will do fine.
Why do I feel so nervous?
You're at home all day, how could you forget?
Are you being mean because I don't make any money?
- You're a fool. - Follow her?
My wife has changed.
I need to check out where she's going.
(Next Monday night at 11:10)
