(Episode 26)
Oh, right.
Well, hurry up, and take this.
My hand is getting tired.
Come on. Take it.
Is it good?
Yes.
How's your ankle?
Thanks to you, it's much better now.
Same here.
It's all healed thanks to you.
Well, actually,
I've been wondering how I should thank you.
Thank you.
After hearing what you said to me,
I couldn't get your words out of my head.
What words?
You reminded me that I'm doing what I like to do...
and asked me if I won't let my son do the same.
Those words kept ringing in my ears.
I realized that I had been selfish and greedy.
For my own happiness, I tried to take his joy away...
and ignored him.
I've been reflecting on myself a lot.
All parents want their children to be happy.
You just don't agree with him.
You still want the best for him.
Thank you.
I told you to get your shoes fixed at my shop. Why haven't you come?
I've been busy.
Not because you don't trust your shoes with me?
I don't want to sound like a show-off,
but I'm confident that I can make and repair...
shoes and bags better than anybody else.
I know. They say that your hands never lie.
Your hands tell me everything.
Anyway, I'm not just saying it.
You have to bring them, okay?
I repair shoes...
like no one else can.
Oh, okay.
Mr. Lee.
Wait! Mr. Lee!
Mr. Lee, wait.
Mr. Lee!
Mr. Lee, please wait.
Hello?
I'm at work. I work on Saturdays too.
It seems like we talk on the phone quite often.
Does it make you uncomfortable?
It's not like that.
We agreed not to share our personal lives.
But you asked me if I was home, and I said I was at work.
I don't like that kind of conversation.
I just called you to tell you good news.
See? You're sharing your personal life with me again.
You must be curious. Do you want me not to tell you?
I'm not curious,
but make it quick. I have to go back to work.
I made up with my dad.
Really?
I called you because I wanted to tell you first.
I'm hanging up.
- Hi, Han Gyul. - Are you working today?
I have so much work to do.
Oh, right. How did the meeting go yesterday?
I'm going to forget about it.
I don't want to work with that company.
Did something happen?
The company just doesn't seem reliable.
Let's go in.
(Kang Ha Nui)
Hello?
Are you saying that MD Lee Han Gyul monitored...
the call center operators when you were fired?
Yes. I thought we could get over the misunderstanding,
but it got worse.
We ran into each other a few times,
but things went wrong whenever we met.
So both he and I said harsh things to each other.
- Both of you did? - Yes.
He's so rude...
I mean, he seems confident, but not kind.
It feels like he has a frozen heart.
He can be cold sometimes.
Right?
Speaking to him just for a moment makes me feel like I'm freezing.
I mean... I didn't mean it literally.
That's a cruel twist of fate.
I couldn't even imagine that I would...
meet him again like this.
Ms. Hwang.
Please help me.
Could you please tell Mr. Lee that I will never...
be disrespectful to him...
and that I'm feel apologetic and seeking for his forgiveness?
Thank you for this.
It wasn't me that bought you that coffee.
Sorry?
I just met Ms. Kang Ha Nui.
She told me everything.
I heard she used to work at the call center here.
She said she started off on the wrong foot with you.
She seemed to feel very apologetic to you.
She asked me to tell you that she's sorry...
and the same thing will never happen again.
Are you her spokesperson or something?
No. It's not like that.
It's because the T-shirt designs are good.
I think you should reconsider...
I said we should forget about it.
Don't talk about it again.
Take this back.
I don't feel like drinking it.
Han Gyul, come on.
This coffee only looks like a bribe to me.
I want to throw it away, but I'm trying not to.
I can't hear anything.
Hello, Mr. Lee.
I was about to go in to see you.
Surprise.
I put on the T-shirt I'm selling.
I thought it'd be better if you see it on a person.
Mr. Lee, the weather is so nice today too, right?
Having a nice talk while getting fresh air outside helps you relax.
Also, this T-shirt looks much prettier...
when you see it outside.
Are you going to stay here?
Pardon me?
Well, fortunately, there's no one in here.
I'm sorry.
Mr. Lee, I really want to work with you...
Get out!
I must've been out of my mind.
Why did I go into a men's room?
Why do things keep going wrong?
Mr. Lee, please use this to wipe your hands.
I don't need it.
Mr. Lee, I really didn't know. I didn't know it was a men's room.
I was so impatient. I just wanted to talk to you briefly.
I'm sorry.
By the way, I couldn't see anything. I'm telling you the truth.
I really didn't see anything.
Can I ask you a favor?
Of course. Please tell me anything.
I'll do you any favors.
Please never show up...
in front of me again.
I'm begging you.
Ji Hoo said he will eat after the tutoring.
I think you should learn how to cook again.
Everything is too bland.
But you told me to not make the food too salty...
since eating less sodium is good for your health.
I didn't tell you not to use salt at all. I told you to use less salt.
You still have to make food good enough to eat.
There's some braised fish here. Would you like some?
"Braised fish"? I'll try it.
The dried radish leaves were cooked perfectly.
It's not tough at all. It's so soft.
It doesn't have a fishy smell either.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Ji Hoo, your tutor is here.
Tutor, my foot.
Come with me.
- Go upstairs, please. - Okay.
("English Reading for University Transfer Exam")
It's a workbook.
Hey. Let's take five minutes before we begin.
Must you start right away?
Ji Hoo, my student.
I'm your tutor, and you're my student.
Are you filming a movie?
I'm Kwon Sang Woo, and you're Kim Ha Neul?
Stop with your nonsense, and talk to me respectfully.
That's ridiculous.
I'm two years older than you.
You're really ignorant.
"Ignorant"? Hey.
Let me ask you a question.
Let's say your grandmother goes to a hospital because she's sick,
and she meets a doctor who is much younger than her.
What would your grandmother call the doctor?
Of course she'd call the doctor "Doctor".
What kind of question is that?
That is correct. She would call the doctor "Doctor".
Who am I?
I am your teacher, so call me "Teacher".
Open the workbook.
Oh, hi. Do you need anything?
No, I don't. It's just...
that the seasoned garlic stems look so delicious.
Did you eat something bad?
Well, I made up with Do Gyeong.
My goodness. Did you, really?
I'm so glad to hear that.
You should have done it earlier.
Gosh. It's easier said than done.
It wasn't easy for me to make the decision.
Of course. I understand.
Good for you.
You will sign a contract with us?
That's great. Let's sign the contract next week.
Yes. Goodbye.
Oh, yes.
Ha Nui.
Hi, Do Gyeong.
You said you wouldn't work today.
I know.
I was walking without thinking, and my feet took me here.
You look down. Did you get dumped by the man who hates cockroaches?
Here.
So you're saying that jerk was the one who got you fired...
from the home shopping company, right?
Yes.
What a strange twist of fate.
I know, right?
Why does it have to be that jerk out of everyone?
Does Mr. Kim know about this?
No, I couldn't tell him.
He was so excited. If I tell him, he'd be utterly disappointed.
So what are you going to do now?
I'll persuade him no matter what. I must get the deal.
That's the spirit. You never let me down, Ha Nui.
Don't make fun of me.
I don't even have the energy to chime in now.
Why would I make fun of you?
Just a second, okay?
("Positive Psychology", "99 Percent Is About Communication")
You'll find these books helpful.
Relationships are everything even with work,
so you should read them.
I have to read all of them, right?
Why do you ask? I guess you want more.
- Shall I pick out a few more? - No, thanks.
Let me finish these first.
Worrying about it won't help you come up with a solution,
so just get it out of your head for now.
How about we go home early today and have a pork belly feast?
But Mr. Park will be angry if he finds out.
I guess I haven't told you yet.
My dad gave me his permission.
Really? That's awesome.
Congratulations.
Thanks. I'll work hard so that I can be congratulated again and again.
- Shall we go grocery shopping? - That sounds good.
Gosh, this feels nice.
This is so nice.
- The herbal medicine is here. - Oh, they finally came.
All right, let's see.
This one is Ji Hoo's.
It must be this one.
- Hey, Jin Hui. - Yes?
Mom, are you sick?
This is yours, not mine.
You seem to be low in energy these days, so I got this made for you.
I'm totally fine. Why did you order this herbal medicine?
Being locked up in the elevator the other day scared you,
and you even sprained your ankle.
Even just hearing the story scared me. It must've been terrible.
I told them to only put in the best things,
so this will perk you up.
You should take it, Mom. I'm really okay.
I don't need things like this at my age.
They said this will also stimulate your appetite.
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
- Could you get me a glass of water? - Sure, ma'am.
What's this?
- You're back. - Yes.
Oh, right. Did you have the tutoring session today?
- Yes, I did. - Is she a good?
I'm asking you if she's a good tutor.
Why do you want to know?
I should know because I'm paying her a lot.
How is she?
She's not bad.
But Mom, that girl wants me to call her "Teacher".
Isn't it crazy?
Of course, you should call her that.
She's two years younger than me.
Hey, age may matter within families,
but not elsewhere.
Regardless of age,
the one who's more competent always gets the upper hand.
That's why I always tell you to study hard and get a good job...
so that you can be in that position. Okay?
Excuse me. What's this herbal medicine?
I think Ms. Mun ordered it.
It's for me.
Oh, it's yours?
Grandma ordered it because I'm tired from studying.
She's more caring than I am.
She loves her grandson so much.
I should thank her.
Mom, seriously.
I'm really okay. You should take it.
They say taking it at an old age makes dying that much harder.
I don't want that.
That's not true at all.
People live to 100 these days, so you'll live 30 more years.
The older you get, the more you need to look after your health.
That will make me and Sun Hui live easier.
All right, fine. You're so stubborn.
Mom, I'm home.
Don't say anything about this.
Mom. Seriously.
What are you doing, Mom?
Hey, I was just about to get up after lying down for a little while.
- Did you just get home? - Yes.
Jin Hui, did you stay home all day?
No, I went out for a walk in the morning.
You look tired.
I took medicine, but my cold isn't going away.
Shall I take a nap before we have dinner?
Yes, you should take a nap.
We'll wake you up when dinner is ready.
Mom, thank you.
For Ji Hoo's herbal medicine.
I should've thought of it. I feel bad...
that you take care of everything.
You should've gotten some for yourself when you were ordering his.
I'm very healthy, you know.
- Go take a nap. - My gosh, I feel so lazy.
I'm just going to sleep here.
My gosh, what's this?
There's another box of herbal medicine here.
Is this yours, Mom?
What? Yes, it is.
It's for Jin Hui, isn't it?
Jin Hui is weak, you know.
Sun Hui, you should take it.
I don't want it.
Why would I take your herbal medicine?
Am I a beggar or what?
Mom, you're so mean.
Goodness, she obviously got that temper from her dad.
She raises her voice whenever she doesn't like something. Gosh.
You know how she is.
You should've ordered one for everyone in the family.
You just saw how much energy she has. If she takes it...
Gosh, stop it.
Leo, I'm home.
Hi.
Leo, are you feeling sick?
You don't have a fever.
I'm frustrated.
I feel like I've gone back and became a 3-year-old toddler...
because I can't speak Korean.
I feel like I've lost myself. I'm having a hard time.
My angel, I need to figure out...
an effective way to learn Korean.
- Oh, right. TV dramas. - Dramas?
You like movies and TV dramas, Leo.
Yes, I do.
Watching Korean TV dramas will help picking up the language quickly.
"Their voices should be respected equally..."
What do you think you're doing?
Help me fold clean laundry.
I don't know how to do it. Do it by yourself.
What on earth was that about?
Look, Mr. Lee Sang Hoon.
Don't you remember what's in our agreement?
Breaking all the rules like this is considered breach of contract.
- Do you know that? - Then what will we say to Han Na?
Should we say we lied?
What are you doing?
I'm going to put your clothes...
back in the washing machine,
so you can wash them yourself or do whatever you want to do.
Wait, hang on.
- Let's negotiate. - Negotiate, my foot.
Are you really going to be like this?
If you want to annul the agreement, go ahead.
Fine, I'll raise the monthly living expense allowance by 100 dollars,
so you do it.
Don't you dare.
Then 200 dollars.
300 dollars.
You'd better keep your word.
I should read this later.
- Mom, here. - Oh, thanks.
Gosh, this must be premium-quality meat.
Where did you get it?
You know the butcher shop at the market, right? It's from there.
Did you and Do Gyeong go there together?
Yes, we met up at the office.
What? Does it mean you two will always be together from now on?
What do you think, Mom? The possibility is obviously high.
They might even start going to work together...
by using the office as an excuse.
What? "Using the office as an excuse"? What do you mean?
Ha Nui and I have decided to share the office space.
What? Really?
Do Gyeong offered to help when he found out that I needed an office.
I'm sorry we couldn't tell you sooner.
It's only been a few days.
I see.
You would've been in the loop if you two had made up sooner.
You're the only one that didn't know.
All of us here knew about it.
But I must say,
I'm sort of glad that you two finally made up.
Isn't it nice? We get to eat this delicious food because of it.
My gosh, this one looks so good.
- Thank you for the food. - Enjoy.
My goodness.
All right, Do Gyeong and Ha Nui.
- Yes. - Yes.
You two have decided to embark on your new venture,
but it probably won't be easy.
Nevertheless, you've already taken your first steps,
so I trust that both of you will do well. I wish you all the best.
Thank you, Dad.
Ha Nui, let's eat a lot of meat and get strong!
- We can do it! - We can do it!
All right, everyone. Let's clink our glasses together.
Here's to Do Gyeong and Ha Nui. What shall I say?
We should wish them success, of course.
All right. To their success.
- To their success! - To their success!
- You guys will do well. - Good luck.
I'm home.
Why won't you even say hi to me when I'm home?
I'm not in the mood right now.
Don't speak to me.
Why are you sulking this time?
Gosh. You're making me look weird.
Do you think I sulk over everything?
Obviously, you had a fight with Mother.
- What happened this time? - Don't even ask.
It's all your fault.
Aren't you tired of it?
You blame me for everything that happened.
Saying something else.
I said I'm not in the mood for jokes.
Fine. I don't even have energy to fight with you because I'm hungry.
I said I'm hungry. Aren't you going to fix me anything to eat?
Can't you do it by yourself with your own hands?
I'm sick.
Gosh. I guess you can complain even when you're sick.
I can't believe this. How could this happen?
What are you doing?
Mother, the braised long-nosed barbel that was in this pot...
disappeared.
Have you seen it?
- "Long-nosed barbel"? - It's braised fish.
Oh, that? I ate it.
What? Did you eat it all by yourself? Really?
I had no appetite at lunch. Our housekeeper gave it to me.
I asked if you ate it all.
There wasn't much in the pot.
I ate it all.
Mother!
Why are you yelling at me?
How could you eat it all?
That braised long-nosed barbel was mine.
We all share side dishes. Why is it yours?
Any one of us can eat it.
You're acting so weird.
Are you really that upset because I ate it?
Yes, I am. I'm so upset about it.
What? What did you just say?
I can't believe you.
How dare you say such a thing?
How could you say something so harsh...
just because I ate a side dish?
Mother, you have no idea.
The braised long-nosed barbel means more than a side dish to me.
What could it be other than a side dish?
It's a side dish. Why are you saying it's not?
Why? Did you sprinkle some gold powder...
because you meant to eat it all by yourself?
You're fussing over nothing.
It meant a lot to me!
It was a very special side dish for me.
The braised long-nosed barbel you ate...
was filled with my nostalgia about my hometown,
my love, and my old memories.
How can you call that nothing?
You're acting unbelievably unreasonable.
How can you treat your only mother-in-law like this?
Mother, I'm your only son-in-law too.
They say a son-in-law is like a distinguished guest.
I don't even want to be treated like a guest.
But you should've at least treated me like a son-in-law.
I'm speechless.
Do you think you treated me like a mother-in-law?
You're making a fuss because I ate a side dish. Is it you that is odd?
Or is it me?
Mom, what's going on?
Oh, dear. Jin Hui.
I... I never knew I would be treated this badly.
I ate the side dish that Dong Seok bought.
Because of a mere side dish,
he's getting mad at me.
Mother, that's not what I meant.
What did you mean by that?
- That braised long-nosed barbel... - Be quiet.
Mom. Don't you think this is too much?
I can put up with you looking down on me,
but don't look down on him.
What are you saying? I'm the one who was just looked down on.
Didn't you hear what I said?
- Dong Seok... - You've always been like this.
When I was a child,
you treated me and Jin Hui differently when it comes to food.
When you packed our lunch boxes,
you always gave me kimchi and pickled vegetables,
but Jin Hui got sausages and...
Did you think I didn't know that?
You gave her fried eggs...
under cooked rice, so I wouldn't see it!
Mom, stop it.
Why are you talking about the past?
Just now, in the kitchen, Dong Seok...
You did the same today!
I've been sick with a bad cold...
for a few days.
But you never got me medicine.
However, you secretly bought Jin Hui herbal medicine.
How could you do that?
Mom, she bought me herbal medicine too.
All you care about is Jin Hui, right?
You don't even worry about me, do you?
Gosh. How can you not understand how I feel when you're a mom too?
I'm glad I didn't end up living with you and Dong Seok.
Are you that happy...
that our business failed so that you moved in with Jin Hui?
Mother, you've crossed the line.
This is all your fault!
I'll buy you long-nosed barbel or whatever it is called!
Mom.
Not again. Why do you always take your anger out on him?
Seriously.
Mom, let's go in.
I can't live like this anymore! I mean it!
- Darn it. - Gosh. I've lived too long.
I've lived too long.
Dong Seok. Where are you going?
I'm going out to grab something to eat because I'm hungry!
Eat at home. I'll fix you something to eat.
That's okay.
- Goodness. - Aunt Jin Hui, I'll go with him.
Please don't worry.
Gosh. I've never seen anyone...
as thoughtless as him.
Let go of me. I'm not finished. I'll say everything I have to say.
I told you to let go of me.
That's enough!
You wench. I'm mad at you too.
You were so happy that you went shopping with Jin Hui?
You don't even care about me, do you?
I explained everything. Aunt Jin Hui came near my office.
So? Were you so excited to spend time with her?
Were you happy?
Do you know how childish you are now?
Get out, you wench.
You're no longer my daughter.
Just be Jin Hui's daughter.
I wish I could.
I really wish I were Aunt Jin Hui's daughter, not yours.
What?
I'm so embarrassed whenever you make a scene over a petty thing.
(Sunny Again Tomorrow)
I'm going to work now.
This coffee smells so good.
Smell it.
Are you food poisoned?
Don't come near me.
Where is the nearest pharmacy?
Hey. Do you stay in touch...
with the employee at my store?
Do you want me to play matchmaker?
I'm thinking of having moms and daughters of different age groups...
as models for my fashion show.
Tell me if you come up with any ideas.
I'll look forward to it.
Hello.
The T-shirt I'm wearing is very stretchy.
I'm so stressed out.
You haven't kept your promise yet.
You should do it today.
Gosh, Ms. Kang Ha Nui.
My goodness.
Why aren't you coming? Hurry.
Han Gyul, I'm sorry, but I'll go to the office and come back.
The office?
