(Ye Eun)
(Episode 2)
I wonder what's going on. Why isn't he picking up?
What time is it?
I'm starting to get hungry.
Did he get into an accident?
Ye Eun. Ye Eun.
Yes, Mother.
Mother, do you need something?
Aren't you going to cook?
You should be giving me food right on time.
Must I ask you every single time?
Why do I always need to beg my daughter-in-law for food?
I'm sorry. I already cleaned the rice, so it won't take too long.
Banquet noodles are always so popular around this time of year.
- It's perfect for this season. - Everyone's...
enjoying the perfect taste of the broth.
There's no need to question how good it tastes.
She's probably the most diligent person on earth.
These noodles help you retrieve your lost appetite.
Noodles are the best in winter.
Ye Eun, just make noodles.
Pardon? I just started cooking rice.
Forget it if you don't want to make it.
What's so hard about making a bowl of noodles?
I'll go outside and buy some noodles.
But it'd be nice if you would let me off the hook sometimes,
especially on a moving day like today.
Hey, are you trying to...
act all high and mighty just because you let me have this house?
My gosh, of course not. I'll be off to buy some noodles.
My goodness.
She's always smiling even when I'm being so hard on her.
She can't even have kids.
I really can't stand her.
His dream was able to come true like this.
- He practiced day and night. - My goodness.
Should I eat dumpling soup?
I'm so tired.
Yes, Mother.
Dumplings?
No, it's not troublesome.
Okay.
It's four dollars.
I'm sorry. I'll come back after I get something else.
Ye Eun, are you trying to make me feel sorry...
by eating cold rice in front of me?
No, I just didn't want to throw away the leftover rice.
Did you like the dumplings?
When have I ever enjoyed the food you made?
I know you thought it was delicious.
It wasn't delicious at all.
My gosh, she's so cute.
My goodness. Why is my arm so short?
Why hasn't he called me yet?
I'm worried that something might've happened to him.
(Ye Eun)
Hey, it's me.
- Did you get there safely? - Of course.
I got worried because you didn't call.
I'm sorry. I was meeting a client, so I didn't have time to call.
I just arrived at my hotel.
You must be tired from moving. You should sleep now.
Honey.
- I'm so happy right now. - What?
I would've been happier if you were here with me.
But when I think about our future in this house together,
it makes me feel so happy.
Honey, are you listening?
Yes, I'm listening.
Honey. Jin Sup.
Honey.
What's wrong with my phone?
Honey, I'm getting a call right now.
What? Right now?
Yes, it's a client.
He probably wants to drink some more.
I'm so tired. Should I not pick up?
Can you do that?
Of course not. This is going to lead to a huge deal.
Then you should pick up. You don't want that deal to go out the window.
It's so hard to make a living.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Be careful, and don't drink too much.
Okay.
- Honey. - Yes? What?
I love you.
I love you too.
"Love"?
I didn't know you loved your wife.
Of course, I love her.
What?
What about me?
Ye Eun's family. She's not a woman.
You're the only woman in my life.
What if I suddenly had the urge to break your family?
But you said you didn't want that to happen from the beginning.
I guess that means you're seeing me...
because I'm letting you keep your family while you see me.
You know that's not what I meant.
I want to break your family apart.
Are you serious right now?
Every time you tell your wife that you love her in front of me,
it makes me want to break your marriage.
Hwa Young, that's...
So I'm saying you should be careful from now on.
If you ever do that again...
Then?
It's either 1 of the 2.
I'm going to break your marriage apart.
- Or... - Or what?
I'm going to leave you.
No, I can't let you leave me.
Then say that you can't live without me.
I can't live without you.
Tell me that you love me like crazy.
I love you like crazy.
You're mine.
I'm yours.
I feel so sorry for you.
You have to work even when it's so late at night.
I should buy you some herbal tonics.
(English Academy)
Mom.
I'm not discouraged. That doesn't bother me at all.
I'm also going to have a mother soon.
The house is always empty when I come home.
Hey, Dad.
I just got home.
I'm sorry, Jin Hee.
I think the shooting's going to end late tonight.
It's okay.
You don't sound okay.
Did something happen at the academy?
No. I just don't feel so well.
We're going to begin shooting. Please come to the studio.
Jin Hee, I'll go home right after I'm done.
My gosh, is she going through adolescence?
Thank you.
- Can you give this a taste? - What? Okay.
It tastes delicious.
You should become a chef.
I'm going to become what my mom tells me to become.
My dream is to make my mom happy.
Your mom's so lucky.
She has such a lovely son.
Her husband died early, so she had to...
raise two kids all by herself. You can't call that lucky.
I feel so sorry...
for my mom.
That's not true. She has two nice kids who are...
so considerate about what she's going through.
That shows how lucky she is.
Did your mom come in late last night?
I smell alcohol on her these days.
I wonder if she's going somewhere weird.
What do you mean?
She's not going anywhere weird.
Don't you know how diligent and nice Da Hong is?
My gosh, that's a load of nonsense.
Actually,
your mom's really diligent and nice.
She's incredibly so.
(Bank Balance: 3 dollars 75 cents)
I have nothing saved up.
All I have is a huge mountain of debt.
Sang Eun, eat breakfast.
Come out and eat.
I don't have an appetite.
That's not important.
You should eat when it's time.
I'm not going to eat if I'm not hungry.
My gosh, you're driving me crazy.
I'm the one who's going crazy because of my debt.
Where's all my money hiding?
I wonder if Choi Jae Woong is going to call me.
Don't you like the side dishes today?
You keep asking the obvious.
When's the next doctor's appointment?
It's in a week.
In vitro fertilization costs a lot of money, doesn't it?
All the other women don't seem to have any trouble having babies.
But you're spending so much money because you can't have one baby.
You're spending most of my son's hard-earned money...
on hospital fees. It's such a huge waste.
We're not considering In vitro fertilization yet.
The doctor said it's because I have irregular hormone levels.
- Everything else is normal. - "Normal"?
How can you not get pregnant when you're normal?
You've been married for seven years.
A healthy woman with no problem would've given birth to...
five children during those years.
I'm going to go grocery shopping. Is there anything you want to eat?
What would I want to eat when there's nothing joyful about life?
You should eat some more. You can't suddenly stop eating.
There's not a single dish that's delicious.
I seriously don't like anything you do.
I might end up dying early because of her.
My gosh, our family tree's going to end because of her.
Let's try to understand her.
Let's understand her.
I'm going to get pregnant no matter what.
So I need to eat well.
It's tasty.
Your wife must be really slow.
I can't believe she hasn't noticed that you're cheating on her yet.
It's been two years already.
She's not slow. She just trusts me.
She thinks of me like a deity.
"A deity"?
She trusts and worships me no matter what.
Ye Eun thinks of it as a sin to doubt me.
She doesn't even know how bad you are.
Hey, I could've died.
That's exactly what I want.
I want you to die here at my house...
instead of dying at your wife's house.
You're so mean.
But why do I still adore you so much?
You should eat. I'll join you after I get ready.
Okay.
Let's see if your wife...
still won't get suspicious of you even after seeing this.
"A deity"? How funny.
Should we go to work together?
Mr. Lee, this is your neighborhood.
We need to be more careful from now on.
I really like that we live nearby,
but this is a little uncomfortable.
Why? I like it even more because it's thrilling.
- Let's go. I'll follow you. - Okay.
Here.
Let's go.
Just a second.
What should we do? Mom didn't eat last night.
I'll go to school after I get her a new bowl of rice and soup.
- You can go to kindergarten first. - Okay.
Mom, I'll see you.
Let's go.
Ms. Na, why can't you eat?
What should I do to make you regain your appetite?
I still can't get used to eating alone...
without my husband after he passed away.
Chairwoman Na, it's time for you to go to work.
Ms. Cha, can I skip work today?
- I don't feel so well. - No, you can't do that.
Why can't I do what I want? I'm the chairwoman.
No, no.
This game is no fun.
Nothing's fun anymore.
Why is Seung Mi calling me again?
She's probably going to hang up after saying what she wants.
What?
Mal Shim, when can I go over to your house?
Why would you come over to my house?
Why do you think?
I want to see your new house...
and have fun with you there.
Forget it.
We're not that close enough to check up on each other's new houses.
My goodness.
We've been friends for 50 years ever since elementary school.
Why would you say we're not close?
You're the only friend I ever really lean on.
Really?
I don't need a friend who hangs up all the time...
right after saying what she needs to.
You must be upset because I hung up on you last time.
It was because I had to pick up a phone call from Hyung Joo.
Why would you hold a grudge about something like that?
"A grudge"?
Hey, something urgent came up.
- Let's talk later. - Hello? Mal Shim.
Here. Have a taste of that.
My gosh.
She has such a bad temper.
These darn loan sharks.
They're so diligent when they don't need to be.
My gosh.
(Music Academy, A Happy Playground for Children)
You should say hello. Why would you run away?
Hello.
I'm not in the mood to greet you.
You ignore our calls, and you're not paying us back.
You must be upset because of how diligent we are.
No, I just meant that it must be tiring for you to chase me around.
If you know that, then hurry up and pay us back.
I will. I'm never going to steal that money from you.
Look at how I look. Don't I look conscientious?
You look...
Please give me a little more time.
I'll even sell my pianos to pay you back.
Of course.
Pianos are worth a lot of money.
- Yes. - When will you pay us back?
Why can't you get a hold of yourself when someone's pretty?
We'll give you three days. Pay back the principle and interest in full.
What? Three days?
Can't you just give me some more time while you're at it?
My goodness, I'm sorry. But I can't.
Three days is all you're going to get.
I know I shouldn't say this to you,
but just get another loan to pay us back first.
As you can see, my boss doesn't have a kind face.
He has a really dirty temper.
Hey, why aren't you coming?
Boss, I'm going.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
Why did I open up a piano academy by getting myself into debt?
These herbs are so fresh today.
I really like the shampoo and soap you made with these.
You're so talented.
How did you manage to make them by yourself?
Please give me half a bag of these herbs.
Yes, Father.
Right now?
Okay.
- Can you make it quick? - Sure.
My gosh.
I'm glad that a lot of people are eating chicken for lunch. But...
Where is Da Hong? She should be here by now.
My gosh.
Is she still sleeping?
My goodness.
I need to go on a delivery.
Who's going to take the order if I leave the restaurant?
Da Hong. Da Hong!
Hey, Man Bok. What's going on?
"What's going on?"
I let you work at my restaurant because as a friend,
I felt sorry that you couldn't get a job anywhere.
But I can't stand this anymore. You don't need to work from now on.
You're fired as of today.
My gosh, look at the time.
My goodness, I'm sorry. I'll get ready really quickly.
Forget it. You're already on the wrong track.
You're not well educated, you have no talent,
and you're not pretty enough to meet someone rich and change your fate.
You're a widow with two children.
You shouldn't be slacking off like this.
You're right. I didn't even graduate high school...
because I only cared about dating my late husband.
I'm a widow who can't do anything special.
And like you said,
it's too late to even change my fate.
I obviously have a sad life.
Can't you cut me some slack and let me off the hook sometimes?
What did I do? Why are you crying?
Forget it. I'm not going to work at your restaurant.
They say, "You get angry at others for your own mistakes."
Why is she angrier at me?
She has nothing but pride.
That mean jerk. What a coldhearted punk.
No wonder he's not married yet.
My gosh.
It's always these young boys dancing on TV.
There's nothing else to watch.
My gosh.
Mother, I'm home.
Ye Eun, let's eat cold bean-soup noodles for lunch today.
I'm going to cook steamed fish. Father said he's going to come.
What? Why would he come?
He wants to see our new house.
What does that have to do with him? He has no business here.
No one welcomes him anyway.
Is he coming with that witch?
I don't know. He didn't say that.
He can be brazen at times,
but I'm sure he won't bring a concubine into his wife's house.
I'll cook white rice since Father doesn't like multi-grain rice.
Mother.
I wonder if he fought with that witch.
But then again, it's about time he got tired of her.
They say all men end up going back to...
their wives when they grow old.
Go ahead and beg all you want. I'm not going to take you back.
- Mother. - My goodness.
Why don't you start knocking for a change?
I'm sorry.
- Are you putting makeup on? - What are you talking about?
Do you think I'd doll myself up for him?
What do you want?
I'm going to cook white rice since Father doesn't like multigrain rice.
Will you be okay with that?
Do what you want. Don't ask permission for every single thing.
Okay.
My gosh, why does she always have a smile on her face?
It's for the best.
It'll be a lot better for Da Hong not to come work at my restaurant.
I should've fired her a long time ago.
Man Bok, why are you talking to yourself?
What are you doing here?
I just came because I was passing by.
Man Bok, I have a question.
What is it?
Do you have money?
Money? How much?
Well, do you have three big ones?
Here.
What a scrooge. I meant 30,000 dollars.
Are you going on a blind date today?
Are you trying to pay off your debt by getting married?
What kind of fool would be willing to pay off your debt...
just because you got married to him?
I'm just going to borrow money from my future husband.
Married couples can borrow money from each other.
What are you talking about? You can love each other all you want,
but you can't let money get in between your relationship.
If my spouse acts like a stingy scrooge,
I feel like I'm going to lose interest.
This is exactly why you're not married yet.
Whatever.
How much is your debt?
Don't ask unless you're going to pay it off for me.
Okay, I won't ask.
That's great.
Smile a little. Okay.
- Is this for your resume? - Yes.
Then I should photoshop your photo.
Let's see.
Now, let's choose.
- This one's better. - This one's good.
Yes, okay.
Let me make your chin seem a bit slimmer.
Then let me make your eyes become a little bigger.
I'll give you some double eyelids as well.
What do you think? Does it look okay?
Sir, this doesn't look like me at all.
Hey, aren't you going to get a job?
People even get cosmetic surgery so that they can get a job.
This isn't even that much. It's a trend.
But this isn't me.
I guess you don't want to get a job.
Okay, I'll just return it back to normal.
No, I should follow the trend.
Father, welcome.
Mother, Father's here.
My gosh, maybe it's because it's been so long since I put makeup on,
but it seems a little flaky.
My goodness.
Your new house is really nice.
I think so too. It really is nice.
I'm here, Mal Shim.
Hello.
You've been living with her after abandoning your wife and son.
So what made you come all the way here?
My gosh, look at the way she talks.
I saw your name on the doorplate.
You must be so happy.
Here you go.
You didn't need to buy this.
I couldn't come empty-handedly to my son's house.
What? He's my son, not yours.
Ye Eun, your father-in-law's starving.
Let's eat lunch.
Okay, the food's almost ready.
Here.
The steamed fish is really delicious.
Mother, why aren't you eating?
When have I ever eaten white rice?
You said you were fine with white rice earlier.
When did I say that? And why is the rice so watery?
You must've saved a lot of money to buy this house.
No, Father.
Jin Sup's the one who worked so hard to earn money.
She did nothing.
I completely agree with Mal Shim on this.
My son went through so much to earn money.
"My son"?
Stop saying that. He's my son, not yours.
Stop calling him that.
Mal Shim, you can't say that to me.
To be honest, when you abandoned Jin Sup and Se Ran,
I'm the one who took care of them.
What? When did I ever abandon them?
I was sick, so I had to live at the hospital for five years.
I had no choice but to ask you to raise them.
Anyway, I just want to let you know that...
I think of Jin Sup as my own precious son.
Who gave you permission to think that way?
Why do you fight every time you meet each other?
How dare you yell at me?
This is my house!
I don't understand why she would yell so ignorantly like that.
My gosh.
What? Did you just call me ignorant?
Then are you living as a concubine...
your entire life because you're so smart and sophisticated?
I'd rather be a loved concubine...
than be an abandoned wife.
What did you say?
That's enough! Be quiet!
What's the use of having two wives?
I'm happy with neither.
Father, you can't just leave.
Mal Shim, let me tell you something.
I came here because Jin Sup told me to come visit.
I lent him 20,000 dollars when he bought this house,
so I guess he felt grateful.
He calls me every morning and night.
What? You lent him 20,000 dollars?
- Did you know about this? - Mother, the thing is...
Jin Sup told me not to tell you...
because he thought it would upset you if you found out.
Are you saying I don't deserve to know about that kind of stuff...
because I'm an incompetent mother-in-law?
- Mother, that's not what I meant. - My gosh.
Why did you have to say that and cause trouble?
Let's go now. Ye Eun, we're going to go.
Father, you can't just leave like this.
I can't believe them.
Ye Eun's the worst.
She treats me no better than a piece of trash that's lying on the street.
I'm worried that you'll have to put up with everything after we're gone.
Don't worry.
She'll be okay after a while.
Why did you talk back to her? You know her temper already.
What did I do?
Thank you for cooking for us. You should go back inside.
- Okay. Be careful on your way back. - Okay.
Wait for me.
I don't feel so good to see Father just leave like that.
Mother.
"Mother"?
You should call that concubine your mother-in-law.
Was it fun to make a fool out of me in front of that wench?
Mother, it's a misunderstanding.
Go live with that concubine, and treat her like a mother-in-law!
Ye Eun, what's going on?
What? You're bleeding.
(Happy Sisters)
I can't believe she lent him money for this house. My goodness.
What are you doing in my restaurant?
That's enough!
I guess you won't be able to abandon your family because of your dad.
I'm crazy about you.
I want you to take the taxi.
What do you want me to do?
I wonder if Jin Sup still loves me.
I think I should start wanting you some more.
