Wow! This is a real ginseng?
It is. My friend's father went to the mountain and picked it himself.
Wow, that father is really generous.
How can he give this precious item as a gift?
I helped my friend a little on her PhD doctoral thesis.
But... who are you going to give this to?
These days, I'm having a lot of cold sweats and my condition isn't that great.
I'm going to give it to my mom...
Mother-in-law?
These days, because of Yeo Jin, she hasn't slept very well.
I'm so upset she may get sick.
But... can I just nibble on the root...
No way!
This precious item.
Hey, where's Kyu Han?
He went out saying he has a lecture today.
Why, is there something you need from him?
What do you think of this woman?
Oooh, she's pretty.
Who is she?
She's the youngest daughter of Song Jin Pharmaceuticals
and she just came back from the U.S.
Pretty, good family, and she's even smart.
Isn't she the perfect wife material for your brother?
But you think Hyung will listen to you?
No matter what he says, I'm going to push and do my own thing, so it doesn't matter.
Mom, instead of doing that, introduce me.
These days I'm really lonely.
No way. I have her marked for your brother.
Mom, you're too much.
You always give the good stuff to Hyung first.
I was always last.
I'm really sad, Mom.
No... no, I never... when did I... don't joke...
Oh... oh, my shoulder.
Tired?
I think I'm old now. There's not a place on my body that doesn't ache.
It's because you haven't slept these days.
You're so worried about Yeo Jin, you can't sleep at all.
Is that what it is?
I think I'm going to die before I see her married.
Hey, not possible.
You will probably live a thousand years.
What are you talking about?
Ji Won said she's going to give you a ginseng.
Ginseng?
Yes. She received it as a gift and she said she'll give it to you.
What about me? She's not giving me one?
Truthfully, I have more sickness than her.
C'mon, you stay home and rest all day.
Give it to Mother-in-law who works hard all day.
No, I'm fine. If you want it so badly, you have it.
No, I was just saying it. You have it.
No, I want you to have it.
No way, you have it.
Then shall I have it?
No, that's alright!
If Ji Won wants me to have it... then I'll just take it.
It's just a ginseng.
Hey, what are you doing here?
I came here to see Mom. Are you going somewhere?
Running an errand for the boss.
Noona, it's still tough, right?
Hey, I'm Im Yeo Jin. Healthiest Im Yeo Jin!
Not even a whimper!
I'm going.
Mom.
Oh! What a surprise.
You haven't had lunch yet, right?
I bought your favorite sushi.
You didn't bring that expecting something, right?
Mom, how could you...
Of course I have expectations.
Of course, there's no way you would stop by for no reason.
Mom... I really like that woman. Can't you move me up?
I told you! I thought of her the whole time for Kyu Han.
Mom!
If you keep putting Hyung first then I...
I'm going to do whatever I want.
What?
Remember? When I was in high school, I caused you grief.
If I put my mind to it,
I'm going to cause three times more grief than Hyung.
Are you threatening your mom right now?
What do you mean threaten?
That implication is too strong.
I'm just saying let's negotiate.
You'll be happy because I won't cause any grief.
I'll be happy because I'll meet a good woman.
What do you think? It's a good deal, right?
I got it.
My glorious son says he likes her that much...
Okay, Mom!
I love you!
Oh, I can't win over my baby son.
Aigoo... really...
Omo! Why is my nose bleeding?
I'm tired so maybe I should have just a little bit.
Oh no, no, no.
Hello?
Yeah, I received the ginseng. Thank you so much.
Maybe it's because it's so precious, but the scent is wonderful.
Yeah, it's not bitter like other ginsengs.
Me? I'm fine. I'm going to give it to my mom.
My mom isn't feeling great these days.
You know, the effectiveness of this is incredible.
What? How do I know that?
Because I just...
Oh my! Oh my!
What should I do?
Ji Won, this Jung Eun Young patient...
Her health is so poor...
Huh?
Hey... you...!
You said you were giving it to your mother so how can you eat it?
I didn't eat it on purpose.
I didn't realize what I was doing.
What should we do? She's expecting it.
What do you mean expecting? What?
I told her we're giving her this ginseng.
How can you be so talkative?
Hey, you're the one that ate it.
Acting like you're all concerned for your mom.
What should we do?
Should we go out and buy one?
You think you can get this kind of ginseng at the grocery store?
You can't get this anywhere.
And even if you find it, the price is really high.
Spending money on this is quite ridiculous.
Then what should we do? She's expecting it.
We can't tell her I ate it.
Over here.
You must have been surprised with my unexpected phone call.
Yes, a little...
Actually, as soon as I saw your face, I was smitten.
So I acted brash and called you.
But, I'm a little embarrassed.
About what?
My mother told me I'm to meet with your older brother.
But the younger brother calls so I don't know how to take this.
You don't have to make it complicated.
We met like this because we were fated to meet.
Fate?
Mom... this...
Is this that ginseng?
Yes.
What are you doing? Hurry up and open it.
Omo.
Is this what ginseng looks like?
What do you need this for?
It's so small. I can't even cook with it.
Can you sell this to me?
Aigoo, just take it, no need to buy it.
Thank you.
Omo. Amazing.
But isn't that too small to be ginseng?
Hey, a real ginseng is supposed to be small.
Even if this is small, it's probably 100 years old.
That's 100 years old?
Of course. While traveling around, I've seen ginseng.
Of all the ones I've seen, this looks the best quality.
I am so touched, I'm about to cry.
Thank you, Ji Won.
No... not at all.
What are you doing, hurry up and eat it.
Should I?
How is it?
Maybe it's because it's 100 years old, but...
The scent just bursts inside my mouth.
This is so good.
Do you want to get in trouble?
Come inside and open a book.
I'm home.
Where did you go?
Hyung, I went on a matchmaking date.
Wow, what college student goes on a matchmaking date?
That's so old fashion.
Hyung, the woman I met today is totally my ideal type.
Baby face yet the body is all glamorous.
Total *bagel. (*baby + glamorous)
Wow! You can't use the word "bagel" on just anybody.
She has to be up to my standards.
Right, Teacher?
You're goofing off again.
Oh, my bagel. You should be home by now.
You're already texting each other?
I have to text her to see if she got home okay.
She's probably waiting for my text right now.
- Grandma, we're off to school. - We're going.
Okay. Watch out for the cars.
- Yes. - Yes.
Mother, you're cleaning so early in the morning.
Yeah, my body feels so good, I wanted to move around.
Maybe it's because I ate some ginseng.
Why are you laughing?
No... you have so much energy that I'm in a good mood.
Mother! Have you really gotten stronger?
I guess I have. I guess ginseng is good for you.
Oppa, her saying that makes me feel more guilty.
Don't worry about. You know the old saying...
What she doesn't know won't hurt her.
You haven't received a reply yet?
No.
I think you got rejected by the bagel.
No way. We totally hit it off yesterday.
Maybe something happened to her.
That's strange. She won't even answer the phone.
The nation's Lee Young Kwang has been rejected.
I told you it's not like that.
Sheesh!
- Hey. - Good morning.
What's wrong with him?
I think he got rejected by the woman he was matched with yesterday.
He went on a matchmaking date?
Yes.
But I guess Ms. Bagel doesn't like Mr. Honor that much.
What is he saying?
Aigoo, aigoo, this is hard.
Mom, what are you doing right now?
Mother, did you carry the refrigerator downstairs?
Yeah.
It was on the roof collecting dust so I wanted to throw it away.
How did you carry this heavy thing?
Even two men can't carry this.
Maybe it's because I ate the ginseng.
When I tried carrying it, it lifted right up.
Mom, you didn't eat any ginseng!
Huh?
No, she's saying that even after eating the ginseng,
you shouldn't overdo it.
Oh, I'm not overdoing things.
I really got a boost of strength.
Mom, that's just a feeling so please be careful.
You could really hurt yourself.
Alright. I'll be careful.
Hold on... the guys from the used appliances said they'll come pick this up.
I wonder if they're here yet.
You're the one that ate the ginseng...
so why is mother the one with all the strength?
Why is she doing this?
She's making me feel so guilty.
The phone is currently turned off...
Oh ho, she has her phone turned off.
What? You haven't talked to her yet?
She turned her phone off.
What's that laugh?
Are you laughing at me?
Mr. Honor, you should stop this now.
As I see it, Bagel has no interest in you.
What do you know?
I know more about women.
Right now Sarah is playing HTG.
HTG? Hard to get?
In the beginning, all the women are like this.
But once I impress her, then, BAM,
she'll come to me.
Please accept this.
- Me? - Yes.
Accept this.
- Me? - Yes.
Why are you giving me...?
It's a gift.
This too.
Young Kwang...
Will you accept my heart?
Sarah, if you can't answer now,
I'll wait for your text message.
You know my number, right?
Yes!
Hello?
Is this the police station?
I have a stalker here, could you come quickly?
- But... - He's super tall.
He's holding a red rose.
What are you doing?
Give it back! You're stalking me right now.
When did I?
We met once, but you send me 17 text messages and call me 24 times.
Isn't that a stalker?
That's because you didn't answer so I was worried.
Give it back. Give it back now!
Sarah, I was wrong.
I'll never do anything like this again.
So this once, just this once, couldn't you overlook this?
Okay? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
Good bye.
- Good bye. - Have a safe trip home.
Give it to me. I'll do it, Madam.
You do your work. I'm doing it because I want to.
Did the patient Jang Jin Ah leave?
Yes, she just left.
What should we do? She left her cell phone here.
Give it to me, I'll run out and give it to her.
No, give it to me. I'll give it to her.
Mom! Mom!
Excuse me!
Patient Jang Jin Ah!
You need to take your cell phone!
Hey! Excuse...!
Jang Jin Ah!
Oh... oh man...!
Hey, over here!
Hey, Jang Jin Ah!
Patient Jang Jin Ah!
Stop!
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
What's the matter? What?
Your...
cell... you left your cell phone...
Lee Young Kwang! What have you done?
Mom...
It's one thing to disgrace the family, but you're stupid enough to stalk a woman?
Mom, it's not like that...
Oh, you pathetic boy!
I can't live because of you!
Didn't I say she wasn't a match for you? Didn't I say that?
Why are you hitting me?
I didn't do anything wrong!
She totally has a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding!
- You did something...! - Mom, mom!
Mom, stop it.
You stop right there!
Oh, I can't live because of him!
You run away and you got as far as the front of our home?
Hey, Young Kwang.
Are you that desperate for a woman?
What are you doing to someone who doesn't like you?
Then you do something right.
What about me?
Did you know mom selected that woman for you?
You know mom's temper, right?
Once mom has a plan, she goes through with it until the end.
That's why I was trying to cover up for you somehow with that woman.
Even though it didn't turn out...
It's not in my nature to cling onto a woman.
This is the last time, so you better figure it out.
What is this?
It's ginseng. I had to put in a huge favor to a friend,
so you eat it.
I already ate one, how can I eat another?
I know you like ginseng, so hurry up and eat it.
It's alright.
Ginseng heats up the body so eating two at once is not good for you.
It's fine. I researched it, so don't worry and eat it.
Hey, I still have energy flowing in my body so I don't need another one.
Why don't you eat it?
What?
Actually, after eating that ginseng, I've been regretting it.
In this house, you're the one working the hardest.
I kept thinking, why did I eat that?
Why are you thinking those things? Mom, just eat it.
Never mind that. You eat it.
Now.
Fine. Then just leave it and I'll eat it later.
Why later? If your husband sees it, he'll eat it, so eat it all up now.
- Here. That's it. - Mom...
That's it. Chew, chew.
You need to chew it well.
And swallow. Swallow.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry? I ate one, so I'm fine.
Mom, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Why are you crying eating such a good thing? Why?
Is the ginseng that bitter?
Yeah, the ginseng is really, really bitter.
Chew, chew. Eat it.
In the end, Ji Won, who ate two ginsengs,
was sick for a week with a fever.
Mom...
Mother-in-law, who ate the fake ginseng,
got healthier and works out at night.
Turns out, the best medicine in the world is hope.
Musical.
Let's go see it together.
Shut up, I have no money.
Want me to take you to a place that'll relieve your stress?
Cultural prize?
So if I win this, we can see a musical together.
Wow, you are totally awesome!
A woman throwing up and a man patting her back.
I think you need to be more concerned.
He pushed an elderly person.
He pushed a frail elderly person in the streets.
