(Episode 17)
Hello. I'll be staying here starting today.
My name is Kang Hoon Nam.
- Are you okay? - Did you get hurt?
No, I didn't get hurt.
You're here. You don't have much stuff.
Do you see the bamboo room? You can use that room.
- Escort him to the bamboo room. - The bamboo room?
Oh, right.
Plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, bamboo.
I'm in the Plum Blossom room, Orchid Room for Jeong Eum,
Chrysanthemum room for Joon Soo, and Bamboo room for new tenant.
There are three tenants, so we need a system.
Actually, wipe down the room one more time with this.
No, no. We'll do this today. Change and come out.
We should have a small welcoming party.
Okay. Thank you. I'll go unpack first, then.
Joon Soo, clean that up.
- I'll set the table. - Okay.
You startled me.
- Surprised? - What's going on?
What else? You're so cute.
Jeong Eum. Your dad wants you.
What?
Your dad can't find the soybean paste.
Go out. I'll clean here.
Okay. Sure.
I didn't get to greet you properly before.
Welcome to our home.
What's with the handshake?
It is "our" home after all.
I told Jeong Eum how I feel about her yesterday.
You did? Jeong Eum and I started dating yesterday.
It's an old saying, but that's why they say love is all about timing.
You and Jeong Eum are dating?
Yes, we are dating.
I see.
You're dating.
True. You date all women easily.
It was too easy,
so I didn't do it easily.
Jeong Eum...
is more innocent than she appears.
She's gullible too.
You should say that to someone who wants to fool her.
You said relationships are rollercoasters.
I can't trust someone who said that.
So enjoy your thrills elsewhere.
You seem to be the one enjoying the thrills, not me.
Why did you suddenly change course and get between us?
It wasn't suddenly. Jeong Eum and I spent many years together...
- leading up to now. - Exactly.
Don't confuse time for love.
We're ready! Come out!
(Welcoming Bamboo Room Resident)
The meat today looks good.
Meeting like this is fate too.
And now that we have a new member of the family,
let's introduce ourselves.
There's no need for that.
- Sure. Let's. - Let's do it.
I'll start.
My name is Yoo Seung Ryul.
Come on.
I'm like the son of a shooting star.
(Yoo Seung Ryul, art major, teaches crafts at the welfare center)
(Popular with girls in college, Town elder)
(Help neighbors' works)
Well...
Well, I'm Kang Hoon Nam.
(Kang Hoon Nam, graduated from art school in Milan)
(Owner of Duke's Art Gallery, a toy gallery)
(Graduated from Milan, Owner of Duke's Art Gallery)
(Secret writer of relationship column "Hunnamjeongeum")
I'm Choi Joon Soo.
(Choi Joon Soo, Man everyone wants)
(Top of his class in med school, rehabilitation doctor)
(Man everyone wants, doctor, Jeong Eum's friend for 30 years)
I'm Yoo Jeong Eum.
(Yoo Jeong Eum)
Why are you just Yoo Jeong Eum?
She's my daughter.
She was on the national diving team,
but now, she's afraid of the water, so...
- she doesn't go to the bathhouse. - Dad.
That's not it.
After she quit diving,
she was unemployed, so I tried to marry her off.
I signed her up at a matchmaking agency with little money I had.
But she ran away from all those blind dates.
That's why she could never get married and idled her life away.
But it turned out that she got a job at the matchmaking agency.
Nonetheless, she never gives me money for the house.
And these two buddies are part of our family too.
Their names are Bbang Soon and Bbang Sik.
That's right.
All right. Now that we're done with our introduction,
I'll announce the rules of the house.
"The rules of the house"?
- We had rules at our house? - No.
Since we have a new tenant,
I'm trying to run this house more systematically.
The first rule.
Whoever wakes up first will get to use the bathroom first.
Okay.
The second rule. Refer to the meal table...
regarding the mealtime.
No objections. I see.
The third rule. For Sunday breakfast,
I'll serve sunny-side ups.
Please wake up in time and have the eggs.
No objections. Moving on.
The fourth rule is important.
Lights-out after midnight.
It means that...
you must turn off the lights and go to sleep.
If you're going to come home late, just don't come home.
Just sleep out. Okay?
No objections, right?
Moving on.
All right. So we went over all the rules.
The meat is about done. Let's eat.
Mr. Yoo, this isn't much.
I thought it'd be rude to come empty-handed.
I brought you a small gift.
My gosh, that's automatic too.
Take a look. This comes with its own glass.
Please take this glass.
- Sure. - Okay.
Okay. Take one too, Jeong Eum.
And... I'm sorry.
There are only three glasses.
Why don't I pour you a shot?
My gosh, look at that.
- Okay. - No.
Mr. Yoo, you promised me that you won't drink.
Promises are meant to be broken.
Besides, it looks like the alcohol seems of high quality.
People say as long as we enjoy it, there's no calories.
Besides, as long as I drink it well, it's like health supplement.
Don't you agree?
Of course. Please let me pour you a shot.
No, you can't.
He brought this to share it with us.
- Gosh. - Dad, just let him pour you a shot.
A shot of alcohol is like medicine.
It's medicinal. Right.
No one who likes to drink can mean harm.
Besides, it's my day off tomorrow.
That doesn't have to do with anything.
Oh, right. Jeong Eum. When you slept out...
When I slept out? What about that?
What is it?
When you slept out,
Mr. Yoo and I had very delicious pork belly.
But today's meat isn't as good as the one from that day.
Was the day when Jeong Eum slept out...
the butcher shop got its fresh meat?
Joon Soo.
Have a glass. Have one.
I don't have a shot glass.
Gosh, this is great, but strong.
My gosh. Good liquor tastes good with its proper shot glass.
Mr. Yoo.
But how did you meet him?
He came to the house with the flyer.
I liked his face.
Jeong Eum should meet a man with a nice face too, right?
She's a terrible judge of character.
She always picks losers.
Goodness.
She should meet a nice guy like you, Joon Soo.
Gosh, Dad. My dad's shot glass is empty.
- Please have another shot. - Okay.
Gosh. Thank you.
By the way, you don't need to be so formal with me.
We'll continue to see each other at this house.
Should I?
Mr. Yoo.
If...
Jeong Eum had slept out with a man...
Joon Soo.
You should eat while you talk.
That's right. Eat up, Joon Soo.
Eat a lot.
So you were asking me...
what if Jeong Eum had slept out with a man.
But that's not possible.
But if...
she did sleep out with some lunatic,
then...
I'm going to...
catch that man and Jeong Eum...
and break their legs...
like this.
(Bamboo)
My gosh. Why aren't you sleeping?
Are you going somewhere?
I was just curious about the air from outside.
I got my eyes on you.
What should I do?
Where are you going?
You're such a good daughter.
Are you going to your dad's room?
No, I'm hot.
I feel so hot all of a sudden.
Really?
Are you feeling okay?
Should I tell Mr. Yoo?
You've got to be kidding me. Seriously?
Are you going to keep this up?
Are you my teacher or what?
I'm not a kid.
Go. Go to your room.
Look at you. You're not going? You better go now.
Mr. Yoo.
That kid. How dare he treat me like that? I'm older than him.
Should I punch him in the face?
I'll let this go for Acorn's sake.
Acorn, don't fall asleep, and wait for me.
I was just drawing. Why?
I thought you fell asleep with the lights on.
- I see. - Mr. Yoo worries about the bill.
Okay.
(Acorn)
I almost fell asleep.
Gosh, because of that jerk...
It's so nice.
- Acorn. - Yes?
You come out in the middle of the night because a guy says to.
Are you sure you're innocent?
Innocent? Who says that?
I "come in for coffee" well.
Oh, my.
I mean, who above the age of 30 can say,
"I'm innocent"?
Your official boyfriend came to your house.
But you didn't try hard enough to help me beat your guy friend.
- I didn't? - You didn't.
I was very hurt.
You were? I had no idea that you were hurt.
How long will you let him live in the house?
Why?
The situation has changed.
He told you he likes you.
I guess he told you.
Yes, he told me. He was pretty adversarial too.
Living in the same house as a man who says he likes you...
is quite unnerving for the boyfriend.
I...
owe Joon Soo...
a debt.
A debt? How much?
But it isn't the type that someone else can repay for me.
It's a debt of the heart.
A debt of the heart?
The house is collateral in real life too.
Joon Soo...
stayed by my side through and through...
during the most difficult time in my life.
He is my precious friend, mentor, and...
like a brother.
I see.
He did what I couldn't.
I'm grateful.
You can do it for me going forward, Duke.
I'll just be the duke.
Still, I know how you feel, so...
Give me a little time.
Can't you give Joon Soo, who is a part of my precious memories,
some respect until then?
Okay.
Thank you.
(Meal Schedule)
Is the soup ready?
It tastes good.
That's right. This is Acorn's house.
Come eat!
Wash up. Let's have breakfast.
This is self-service.
Let's eat.
Okay. Let's eat. Enjoy.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Okay. - Thank you.
It's good.
Here.
Thank you.
It's good.
I'm full.
Where did your dad go?
I don't know. He left after breakfast.
Your dad is out? Then...
Everyone, get dressed.
What's wrong?
Where are you going?
You should get dressed too.
If you get caught now, you're dead.
Why is he dead?
We're making plum wine today.
Plum wine.
(Meal Schedule)
(Sunday is plum wine making day!)
Who will eat all of this? Does your father sell them?
It's plum wine in the summer, and kimchi in the winter.
We drink them and give them to the townspeople.
We give them out to people who live alone too.
I see. That's nice of him.
He's being a busybody. Who drinks plum wine these days?
He'll be bedridden after doing all this.
What? Sounds like someone I know.
Mr. Yoo!
Did he go somewhere?
We made double this last year.
I'll just have less.
Good work everyone. I'll treat you to makgeolli tonight.
When do we get to drink these?
You've never made plum wine before, have you?
No, of course, not.
Jeong Eum and I made it every year.
I didn't ask you.
After about a month, we can add the ones with sugar to chili paste.
It tastes good to just drink straight up, too.
Then you made a promise with the plums.
A promise?
To meet a month later.
Aren't you hungry?
I'm suddenly very hungry.
Risky choices always make a person develop.
Safe choices reduce the likeliness of failure.
You're more traditional than I expected.
You seem to be influenced by trends more than I expected.
So? Is it tteokbokki and beer or chicken and beer?
- Chicken and beer! - Tteokbokki.
Chicken and beer even has a name. "Chimek."
What do you call yours? "Tteokmek"?
You're such an old person.
(Tteokbokki and Chicken)
This will do, right?
I just need to see someone.
I'll follow you guys after that. Go without me.
I don't think he knows anyone from this neighborhood.
(Hyundai Stationery)
Are you down to play game to help us digest?
I'm down.
What does Mr. Yoo like the most?
You must know about him well since you come here every day.
I'm only telling you because you're handsome.
Come here.
(14 Vegetables for 1 Day)
This is the organic juice.
He will be so happy when you give these to him.
Thank you for your tip.
- Pow. - Pow.
Pow. Pow.
Don't hit me.
- Pow. - Come on.
- What are you doing? - Do you want to join us?
No. I didn't even play that when I was a kid. Why would I play now?
Tooli is rigged.
I'm Tooli.
Pow.
- Get that. - Pow.
Pow.
- Pow. - Here comes the blow.
Wave motion fist.
Here's a jegi.
Do you know how to kick a jegi, Mr. Bamboo?
What about you? Don't you have a unique preference of men?
I...
like men who can kick a jegi well.
Did you say, "jegi"?
All right. Does your foot have to touch the ground or not?
- Of course. - Of course, not.
Then forget about the rules. We'll see who can kick the most.
Get ready. Start.
1, 2, 3.
Kang Hoon Nam wins.
Timeout. Hold on. It hit my ankle. It hit my ankle.
Let's play something else.
A long time ago, I saw a movie.
The main character fainted,
woke up and went on his way.
This song was played during that scene.
When I watched the scene, I cried a lot.
To be honest, when I saw...
my husband playing this song on the piano,
I was completely smitten with him.
Here.
The man over there...
also requested this song.
Cheers to your eyes.
It's been...
ages since we had sat next to each other like this.
Eun Nim, it's about that singer.
She's not what you think.
She was with Assemblyman Mo.
It seemed like she was in a sticky situation.
I only tried to help her. That's all there's to it.
- I know. - You do?
You know?
If you did, why were you so distant to me?
Even if it wasn't true,
what difference would it make?
We've had a good run until now.
So let's stop here.
You will get elected.
I will find my own life.
Okay?
Somehow,
both of us fell in love.
We went through a lot to come this far.
Good job. I mean it.
- We're back. - You're just getting back?
Mr. Yoo.
Why don't you have one?
Wait, this. This is my favorite.
And keep this, and have it tomorrow morning.
No, no. Why don't we have one each now?
- Should we? - Yes.
Seriously. This is so good.
How did you know that I liked this one?
- Good morning. - Hey.
What are you doing over there?
- Aren't you going to work? - What?
I'll go later.
Should I drop you off?
No. You should go. Go ahead.
Are you...
waiting for Mr. Bamboo?
No.
Hey.
Look. Duke already left.
He did.
Anyway, see you later.
Bye.
Come out.
It's so hard to get you alone.
I'm late.
You're late.
(Add Beauty to Flowers)
This is nice.
I like going to work together while having coffee.
Oh, right. It's about Mr. Na.
Why are you so businesslike?
This is urgent.
Just like you said, I ran the matching program.
I put together a list,
but I'm sure this won't work.
Then why don't we go to the gallery...
- and have another meeting? - At the gallery?
I'm going to the gallery anyway. We can go to work together.
No. I mean, you can work outside your office today.
First, I still have to punch in.
Go punch in. I'll wait.
I'll be right out.
- Wait. - Yes?
Can't you give me a stamp too?
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
You didn't give me a stamp last time either.
Here's a stamp.
(Add Beauty to Flowers)
Look at her. Isn't she a guru?
She's really a guru.
Good morning.
- Here. - No thank you.
- What's gotten into you? - Ms. Bong said...
not to steal yours anymore.
Really? What will you do now?
- She gave me another mission. - Another mission?
To find Mr. Kim who disappeared.
She found out.
Then why isn't she harassing me?
Was it the seaweed soup?
Anyway. So? Did you find out anything?
He was supposedly in Gangwon yesterday,
but someone else said he saw him in Gyeongsan-do.
Seeing how quickly and widespread he travels, he must teleport.
So?
I'm going to Dokdo Island tomorrow.
You must be pretty tired.
Where are you going?
I have a meeting.
(Duke's Art Gallery)
What?
Are you coming to work together?
Yes. It turned out that way. Are you going out?
Why don't we have tea together? You don't mind, do you?
Sure.
We finally get to meet for real.
I felt bad about how you took off that time.
You're okay, right?
Oh, that.
It was nothing.
That's good.
I finished the rest of the sandwiches.
Mr. Kang.
The next exhibitor is here.
You can go.
I'll be right back.
I'll fill in that empty seat.
He bet he'd seduce her and dump her.
- Oh, I see. It was a bet? - It's not a bet.
It's for real.
I've never seen Hoon Nam act like that.
Really?
You must know a lot about Hoon Nam.
Probably.
We've lived together, and I've tried to seduce him too.
Oh, I see.
But he never fell for it.
Hoon Nam is someone you can be at ease about.
He just acts like a player on the outside.
The problem is,
I'm a woman you can't be at ease about.
She helped me a lot when I was in Australia.
Can't you give Joon Soo, who is a part of my precious memories,
some respect until then?
Okay.
I'll show you respect.
I can call you by name, right?
As you wish.
But... Haven't we met somewhere before?
You seem so familiar.
We've never met.
The meeting's over.
- Already? - Already?
Let's go to our meeting.
The truth is, it's a waste. Try it.
It's still fine. It isn't even soft.
Expiration dates on foods like this are so vague.
Throwing them away because they expired by a day or two...
- is a waste. - We have no choice. It's the law.
Then why don't we give them out for free?
No. If anything happens, that's a bigger problem.
- Please throw them all away. - Okay.
We have no choice.
They're totally fine though.
Thank you.
- Daddy! - Daddy!
Hi, San. Hi, Deul.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hi boys.
- Have you eaten? - I have.
You must be busy, raising twins.
Don't get me started.
I'll trust you to take care of it.
Don't worry, and go home.
San and Deul, I'll see you again.
- Okay! - Okay!
Say goodbye.
- Goodbye! - Goodbye!
Okay.
- Bye. - Get home safely.
Let me see how much you ate.
You ate a lot.
You need to be on top of it today,
so that the kids can do more experiences.
Okay. San and Deul, you guys will help me, right?
- Yes! - Yes!
Don't come out.
I wish we could have lunch together.
I want to too, but it's Coach Yang's birthday,
so I need to go.
See you later at home.
"At home".
Jerk Ryong. Coach Yang's birthday cake...
He took a half day today.
It looks like he's going to Coach Yang's birthday party.
I'll go now. Get back to work.
- Hi, Da Bin. - Hi. You're here.
- Where's Coach? - She went to the bath house.
- The bath house? - It's her birthday.
She was in a good mood and wanted to get a body scrub.
- Where are the others? - Getting the party decorations.
Would you look at this for me?
(Oh Lady Fashion)
Why the lingerie?
I want to buy them for Coach.
She always wears stretched out underwear, taking care of us.
I'm going shopping with the others, but don't know what to get.
Really? Let's see.
This looks like her style.
With lingerie, the wearer's style is important too,
but so is the style of the other person, my child.
Who would see her lingerie?
Oh, I see.
This one's pretty. What do you think?
You have good taste.
You'll come to the party later, right?
I may not make it at night. That's why I came now.
You can't come later?
- It looks good. - It really does.
What is this?
What is that? Rice?
How much is it?
- It's 57 dollars. - My gosh.
- Oh, my goodness. - Enjoy.
Thank you.
Why did you order so much? You got such a wide variety.
I can buy this much for your birthday.
Gosh.
It's really good.
Happy birthday!
It's delicious.
Thanks.
Do you need anything else?
I wanted to pick up a cake...
It's okay. Someone else is bringing the cake.
- Jerk Ryong? - Why you...
I said to stop calling him that.
Sure. He is the duke's cousin, after all, so...
Yook Ryong said before, that he'd bring me my birthday cake...
with the wine of our sign.
Then you don't need me tonight, do you?
What? Why?
The truth is,
the duke rented a room in our house and moved in.
What?
He moved in?
But we couldn't do anything together at night.
Do what?
How dare he move into your house and try to make a move on you?
You. Come with me.
What? What is it?
Okay, okay.
Is it because I called him Jerk Ryong?
I'm sorry. I won't do that again.
Jeong Eum.
What is it?
You lowered your voice. You're scaring me.
Actually,
I heard something from Yook Ryong.
What did you hear?
The truth is...
(Rehabilitation Center)
Good work.
It's almost impossible to book a table at that restaurant.
I only got to make a reservation...
because I knew the chef personally.
Usually, it's impossible to book a table at the last minute.
That's how amazing the restaurant is.
We'll talk about the topic at the restaurant.
It's the man everyone wants and the woman everyone wants.
I'm trying to say all of us must go to this restaurant.
Okay?
Yes, Chief Editor.
No, no. What?
Right now?
No, no. I'll go back to the office right now.
Okay.
What should I do?
My chief editor just asked me to come in.
That's fine. Go ahead.
- I can have dinner at home. - Why?
He went all that trouble to book a table.
Why don't you join me?
- Well, that's... - You're uncomfortable with just me?
No, no. It's not that.
I'm not trying to make a move on you.
I like someone else.
I see.
Then let's go.
Let's see what all the fuss is about.
Joon Soo, please take care of Susie for me.
I'm leaving now.
It's an amazing restaurant.
You won't regret it.
Don't let my absence upset you.
You must go there.
Should we get going?
Yes.
Please excuse me.
Yes, Charlie?
Goodness, what should I do?
What? What is it?
The reservation didn't go through.
That's fine.
It means that I must accompany you.
I'm sorry. I'll treat you to a meal next time.
Okay, you can do that.
- What a shame. - This all worked out.
I don't like fancy restaurants.
Then why don't I take you out today?
Sure.
(Duke)
I heard something from Yook Ryong.
The truth is...
it was a bet. Dating you was the bet.
Yook Ryong and that jerk had a bet about you.
He was going to seduce and dump you.
Do you get it?
Wake up.
That's why that rich jerk moved into your house.
I'll be staying here starting today.
My name is Kang Hoon Nam.
You're so cute.
Let's just think about the present,
and forget the rest.
Like a huge beetle...
What?
Are you afraid of bugs?
Can you see me riding a bicycle?
Don't be scared. Get rid of your fear!
When I was young,
I found men who could kick a jegi well attractive.
That's nothing to be considered attractive.
- What about now? - Men who can reverse the car well?
Go out with me.
Don't give this to another guy.
It's mine.
Mom...
You're okay.
Keep your eyes on me.
That was all...
a lie?
Acorn.
Is she not home yet?
Acorn. Are you in there?
What's going on? Why didn't you answer me if you were inside?
Let's go get something delicious.
Acorn!
What is it?
Did I do something wrong?
If you're mad, tell me why you're mad.
If you're upset, tell me why you're upset.
I won't know until you tell me.
How could you shut me out...
Okay, okay.
Let's talk later when you're ready.
Let's get a drink.
When is Jeong Eum coming?
She won't come today.
Then whom are you waiting for?
She said a guest was coming.
That's why we brought out the wine glasses.
When is the guest coming?
Just wait a bit more.
He'll come since he said he would.
Forget it. You should go ahead and eat.
- No, Coach. - No.
This is your birthday party. You must eat with us.
- Seeing how he hasn't called yet... - No.
He'll come.
He said he'd come.
I'll buy you underwear.
- You were looking at underwear? - Yes.
I got you.
- I'm sorry. - No, that's all right.
Oh, right. When is your birthday, Seon Hui?
My birthday? It's June 22.
No way.
Me too. My birthday is on June 22 too.
- Really? - Then do you think I'm joking?
Gosh, we were meant to be.
Exactly. I guess we were meant to be together.
Seon Hui, do you want to drink wine together on our birthday?
With the wine of our sign?
- "Wine of our sign"? - Yes.
There's specific wine that belongs to each constellation.
People who have Cancer as their sign tend to be sensitive like us.
Our wine is Sauvignon blanc.
"Sauvignon blanc"?
There's so much you know, honey.
I can't promise anything else,
but I promise to throw you a birthday party.
Okay. Then you throw me my birthday party.
I'll do everything for you except your birthday party.
- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!
- Yook Ryong. - What?
You're a Cancer, right?
I am a Cancer. Yes.
That's why I'm so sensitive.
That's why I got you Cancer wine.
Ta-da. Sauvignon blanc.
Oh, my.
This...
Do you want to drink wine together on our birthday?
I can't promise anything else,
but I promise to throw you a birthday party.
You said we have the same sign since we have the same birthday,
and that we should have a party with the wine of our sign.
You said the wine for Cancer sign was sauvignon blanc.
Did I?
Okay, then.
Really? Then I'll go buy some pretty wine glasses.
He said he'd come.
Coach, we got you a gift. 1, 2, 3.
- Ta-da! - Ta-da!
Do you like them?
They're pretty.
He said the wine for Cancer sign was sauvignon blanc.
That scumbag.
You're worse than a crab leg.
Seon Hui.

Yes. That's right.
That's how...
you are.
Cheers.

I hope you don't mind places like this.
Of course, not. I missed it so much.
I love the organs grilled up.
This is my favorite place. It's my regular spot.
It's really good. They mix rice for you at the end too.
It's delicious.
Hi. You came with another guy today.
He came with another girl too.
Over there.
What are you doing? Come!
Jeong Eum!
I saved some good pork rinds for your dad,
so take it, okay? Eat up. I'll get it.
Let me introduce you. You haven't met, right?
She's a patient that Charlie introduced me to...
We don't need introductions.
We must really be destined. Isn't that right, Jeong Eum?
That's not destiny. It's a coincidence.
What? Do you all know each other?
I'm living in Hoon Nam's place right now.
I'm the woman from his past,
and she's the woman in the present.
- What? - Stop inciting misunderstandings.
Hold on. What does she mean, she's living at your place?
You live in Jeong Eum's house.
I've been renting a room there for years.
She and I have been close for years as well.
You don't let everyone who was close to you...
live in your home.
Friends who live together doesn't always care about everything.
Hoon Nam.
Let's...
break up.

(Relationships are Consonants)
The meaning changes entirely depending on what vowel comes.
Just as the relationship changes entirely...
based on what choices you made.
Relationships are consonants.
