Episode 28
Do it right.
I am doing it right.
You have to straighten
it out as you hang it.
Look at what you're doing? It's all twisted.
Where is it twisted?
Aigoo... aigoo. Aigoo!
Okay, okay! You don't have to get up.
I'll fix them, I will.
Is someone coming to inspect
how we hang the laundry?
It's because you have such a temper
that you've suffered such a harsh life.
Who's the one that made my life difficult?
You did it to yourself.
How can it not be difficult?
Being picky even about hanging laundry...
like you taking a measuring tape to it.
What is the point in that?
It doesn't look very nice.
Just a moment.
Yes.
Are you upset with me?
No such thing.
There's nothing for me to be upset with you for.
If there is something, tell me what that is.
You've been acting strange for several days.
Why are you acting like that?
It's just how it is.
What is?
I tried to put the cart before the horse...
so I'm a little embarrassed about it.
What are you embarrassed about?
Just something.
So what is that?
I can't tell you.
You say you can't tell me something again?
When will you tell me?
You'll wait a couple of months then tell me?
I'm not sure...
it could change depending on the situation.
It could be that I will
never be able to say it.
It's probably not that big of a deal, is it?
It could be.
It's not me you're upset with, right?
It isn't.
Fine, then. I won't be curious
about it anymore.
I'm sure I'll be fine in a few days.
If I'm upset...
if it looks like I'm upset,
does it make you care?
A person cares even if their pet dog
seems upset about something.
My grandmother used to have a dog.
How can you...
how can you compare me to a dog?
I meant one cares about a dog
so how much more a person.
If you care, you should treat me better.
You go out every day and
yet there's still work to do?
You act like we've been
here only a year or two.
There's a saying that if you're gong to take
a nap, do it under the Hallabong* tree.
(*Citrus fruit of Jeju Island named after Halla Volcano)
There's a saying that if you're gong to take
a nap, do it under the Hallabong* tree.
(*Citrus fruit of Jeju Island named after Halla Volcano)
Why would you sleep under
a tree and not at home?
It means, no matter how hard you work,
there's always more work to be done.
What are you going to do today?
See if the fences are up okay
and also pull some weeds.
Isn't there a machine for that?
A machine can only do so much
so it still needs people's hands.
Are you going to be late today?
No. I just have to record the show today.
Then you'll come home all prettied up.
Your hair will be done and your face made up.
It's the day you get beautified.
I was wondering where you were going.
I want to drop in on Tae Sub.
I want to see how he's getting along
but he probably won't welcome it, right?
I need to clean out the fridge
and throw out what has gone bad.
How much could he have eaten of it?
It's easier said than done to cook
and eat at home all the time.
I'm sure everything you
sent him is still sitting there.
But it's been a week already.
Ask him before you do it. He'll be home.
Mom, you're going to record your show?
Yes.
And Dad's going to the orchard?
Yes.
I'm here by myself?
It looks that way.
When will you be home?
Around 2 o'clock.
Okay, then. I'll just take
a nap first then hit the books.
Hey, Ji Hye! Huh? Where is she?
She's giving Ji Na a bath, Uncle.
Oh, really?
Ji Hye! Let me talk to you a minute.
Just a second.
Okay.
Yes?
Oh, Ji Na. Sorry.
You have that CD, don't you?
Of the sounds of water and the birds.
Why would you need that?
Do you or don't you?
Don't you use it for the baby?
So just why would you need something
like that? Are you pregnant?
Yes, right. I'm now 8
months along, you brat.
Uncle, your asking for it really is
surprising. Why are you asking for it?
I suddenly had this thought that
we only play radio music for the Hallabong
and I'm worried they're
becoming too mainstream.
So I thought of letting them listen to
classical music or the sounds of nature.
Have you heard of that "green" method?
People have been doing
that for ages already.
Honey, why don't you pick
something out for him?
Would you like sounds of nature,
an orchestra, or violin music?
Let's set the classical music aside
for now and go with sounds of water,
of the rain, the ocean waves,
or the sounds of the birds...
starting with music for the babies
would be great!
Yes, Hallabong trees are pregnant,
that will be just perfect.
It's funny to say
the trees are pregnant, Uncle.
Hey, it's 10 months for human,
but for them it's 300 days.
If you pick them before 300 days,
then they're premature.
If you pick them too early,
they're prematurely born.
Oh, Uncle! Ten months or 300 days,
that's the same thing.
Wait then. Are you saying it's the
same for Hallabong as for humans?
It's 281 days for humans.
Here you go.
Are you loaning this or
giving it to me for good?
I received another copy from a guest
at the golf course. You can have it.
That's great. From now on,
it's baby music for them!
Byung Gul, let's get going!
Okay! I'm coming, I'm coming. Thank you.
Music is coming.
I'm going to work, Mother.
Father, I'm going to record the show.
Okay. Bring some watermelon back.
I will, Father.
Make sure it's tasty. Sweet.
Yes, Father.
Father and Mother, I'm off to work.
Okay, okay.
Do a good job.
You, too.
Uncle, too.
Yes!
It's going to be a hot one, real hot.
The temperature is starting to rise already.
Just accept it.
It must be cold when it should be cold
and hot when it should be hot.
I'm worried about our earth going crazy
and being hot when cold and cold when hot.
If our earth goes crazy,
there'll be no controlling it.
It's already started to
go nuts, so it's worrisome.
Oh. Be careful. Close it tightly.
I'll get your back zipper.
Thank you.
If you need further explanation, I will...
No, that's fine. I don't need it.
I won't sign these just yet.
Why is that?
It's my decision to make.
Everyone is waiting to get going
on the project, Chief Officer.
I'll sign them after I've
discussed them with Daddy.
I understand our President has already given
the Chairman a briefing of the project.
I'm going to confirm it once again.
Am I not allowed?
Oh, no... that's not it. It's just that...
Am I not the one who has the final say?
You are.
How many days since we've
seen each other face to face?
Have you been avoiding me?
I've been busy. And I've
spent a lot of time off-site.
Please call the equestrian center.
Tell them I'm on my way.
I won't be able to accompany you there.
I'll arrange for Executive Sohn to...
I'll be going by myself. Please tell them
I'll be riding outdoors, not indoor today.
I see. I will accompany you.
Aren't you busy?
I'll shift my schedule around.
Whatever you'd like.
Cooking has now begun.
How did you come?
I'm getting bolder and bolder.
This is great.
Maybe I should have given you a hug.
Don't gay people hug a lot?
Should we do it now?
No. And you can take this off now, too.
I thought you said you're becoming bolder.
How bold could that possible be,
for a person like me?
Was this trip in vain as well?
There was a slight change on this visit...
Yes, I guess that would be
the way to describe it.
How?
I received a call at the airport.
It was Father, through Mom.
He said he needed to
process it on his own first.
He doesn't have the confidence
to face me just yet.
He said there's no need to rush it,
that when the time comes,
we'll be able to face each other.
I'm tired.
Mother seemed to be drained
and my sisters...
one just barely answered
the questions I asked,
and the other said she was going to
study abroad. The youngest one.
Still no word from Soo Na's mom?
I don't think so. I didn't ask.
I have food ready.
Really?
Have you had breakfast yet?
No.
I hope the rice is cooked okay.
Sometimes it's okay and sometimes not.
You act like you've done it many times.
As I closed the lid on the
rice cooker, I prayed.
What?
Please let it be right,
please let it be right.
Kyung Soo doesn't like rice that's too sticky.
He doesn't like dry rice either.
If you don't cook this rice correctly,
I'm going to crush you, rice cooker.
What is that smell?
It's roe stew.
Roe stew?
Oh yeah, we had some!
If I didn't use it up,
I thought it'd go bad.
My mom is overly generous.
Even if I sent half home with you,
there's still plenty of food leftover.
Here, try it.
It's probably salty, right?
It isn't salty.
I seasoned it to your taste.
Okay, now if the rice is the right
consistency, we'll be happy.
Wow, this rice cooker must
have understood my words.
I think it's cooked just right.
Hurry, hurry, hurry! I'm starving to death.
Hurry up and bring it.
Okay already. I'll bring it right over.
The roe stew is really great.
You must have a natural talent.
It just worked out that way.
I think it'll be all right to slowly turn
over the cooking duties to you.
Is it really that good?
In the words of the kids, I'm so jazzed!
Give me a little more. Half a bowl.
Okay.
You have to go home, right?
Yes.
I'm going to take a steam
bath then go to bed.
Come around lunch time tomorrow.
Aren't we going for a jog?
You want to?
By the way, you said you wanted
to find a gift for your mom.
Did you get something?
I still haven't figured out what to get.
I've been thinking, Tae Sub...
The world will continue to
revolve without me in it.
But if I don't acknowledge myself, I'll
have nothing, not the universe, not this world.
What do you mean by that?
It means that I come before the
world or the universe. That I'm first.
So to live your life worrying about
the world, that's just futile.
There's no water.
Oh, yeah.
You're showing your novice side.
The meat noodle soup in Jeju usually refers to noodles
topped with pork then broth poured over it.
For this pork noodle soup, we don't use the
belly but the meat from the forefront leg.
When you've cooked the onion roots
and the broth is starting to become opaque,
then add your meat and
continue to develop the broth.
That will make your meat tasty and tender.
You must always soak the meat in
cold water and drain the blood.
The key to this dish is to have the cooked
pork without the off smell of the pork.
Use the leek roots to
rid the pork of its smell.
And for those who make oxtail soup at home
and need to keep it stored for a long time,
try using these roots to prepare your soup.
For those who don't like the smell of meat
or those who need to store it longer than usual,
it is always good to use these leek
roots to help preserve your dish.
I believe my son, but that young lady is standing
on her story, so what can we do about it?
We just have to accept
that it wasn't meant to be.
Oh my, this caused you trouble that
was not excusable... what shall I do?
There is no need for you
to feel bad anymore.
How could you have gone on your
vacation without seeing it through?
And if you're on your vacation,
you can't call?
In all honesty, I was a little upset
by you not taking my calls.
My wife is exceptionally strict with that.
She says taking phone calls while
on vacation ruins the vacation,
so she made me leave the phone at home.
I'm very sorry.
Let's forget it now, shall we?
Have your tea.
Yes.
Oh, that Announcer Kim Seung Mi can
act very uppity, from what I hear.
I really had no idea before.
Men usually can't judge women clearly.
Especially those that are young and pretty.
Let's meet in front of the movie theater.
I'll get the tickets ahead of time.
Uh... that might be a bit difficult, honey.
Why?
I have to go to the office at 4 o'clock.
It might take me 3 or 4 hours.
What is it that you have to do?
It's privileged information,
so I can't say anything about it.
Then what should we do?
That movie is about to end its run.
Should we go right now then?
If you have to be at the office
by 4 o'clock, let's go now.
I'll get ready right away.
Give me 5... no, 10 minutes.
Oh, honey...
Then that means we only have
time to just drop Ji Na off there.
We only see them once a week,
sometimes it's once every two weeks.
And I said you're tired,
so you won't be coming with us.
Mother probably has all kinds of
food prepared, waiting for us.
Shouldn't I spend at least
a few hours with them?
Does that stab at your conscience?
Of course it does.
We can catch a movie anytime
after work, during the week.
But Mother takes Ji Na
and goes to the sauna.
She only goes when Ji Na is the only one that
goes to visit. Right, Ji Na? To the sauna?
Yeah. We only go when you and Dad aren't there.
And Grandfather goes to play checkers.
See? Has she ever left us
there to go to the sauna?
I guess you're right.
Okay then.
Thank you, wife.
Okay Ji Na, let's get going.
If it's going to take 3 or 4 hours,
then you should be home around 8 o'clock?
Yes, give or take an hour.
Have a good time, Ji Na.
Okay, Mom.
You're not going to see us off?
I'm not in the mood to bother today.
You don't care about me anymore?
Just hurry back.
Kiss.
Oh brother.
And Ji Na too.
Let's go.
Bye-bye.
Let's go.
Yes, Chae Young.
It's okay. Go ahead.
I was just about to head home.
Why, what is it?
Why, all of a sudden?
Okay. Let's meet.
Yes. You're not asleep yet?
Just letting you know I was about
to turn the phone off and go to bed.
I'll call you when I get up.
Okay. Sleep well. I'll talk to you later.
Doctor Yang!
It's nice to have you so close.
I can see you right away.
What is going on with you?
I just made up my mind, that's all.
There are many reasons, Tae Sub.
The biggest reason is...
I don't like this place anymore.
I'm lonely here.
I wanted to stay next to you and
Kyung Soo as a good friend.
Even when I was purchasing those
3 mugs, I still thought that.
But that night, I saw how
pathetic I was being.
Now that I'm leaving...
now that I've decided to leave, I can tell you.
I think I cared for you way
too much, like a fool.
I'll need a lot of time to get over it and...
I think it'll help to not see you.
I don't have anything to say to that.
The next reason is that my
parents want me back home.
My father started kidney dialysis last month.
And... I'm not feeling
the greatest, Tae Sub.
You're still recovering from your surgery.
That's to be expected.
But it's more than that.
I'm really struggling. And I'm depressed.
I don't sleep well either.
I turned in my resignation
this morning at the hospital.
I'm leaving on a flight this evening.
As far as cleaning out my apartment,
I'll do that later.
There's still time left on the lease, so I'll be back
later and do it. I can't do it right now.
This is all so sudden.
I never dreamt you'd do this.
You've even bought those mugs for us.
I know.
But even as I was buying those mugs,
I was sad and felt sorry for myself, Tae Sub.
But it's okay now.
Tell me I made the right decision, Tae Sub.
Tae Sub.
I'll feel bad for the rest of my life
for the pain I caused you.
Who can know?
I really did like you.
No, I like you still.
I know.
I wanted to keep you as my lifelong friend.
Sorry for being so selfish.
When I meet someone new,
I'll come see you with him.
Okay, I'll be waiting.
Please tell your mother and grandmother that
I'm sorry for not seeing them before I go.
They must think I'm a silly girl. Right?
No. They both regret you
not becoming family.
Tell them to be healthy. To be happy.
Okay.
What time is the flight?
I should be there no later than 5 o'clock.
I'll see you off.
No, don't do that.
How can I let you leave alone?
We're seeing each other like this.
And I told you. It's okay.
- Chae Young!
- I don't want you to...
I really don't want you to, Tae Sub.
Let me leave alone.
Let's just say our goodbyes here.
Bye.
Be happy together.
Okay.
Grandmother.
You're home?
Yes. You've been well?
Of course. I've been getting
along just fine.
Where is Grandfather?
He just went in to brush his teeth.
Who's here?
How have you been, Grandfather?
It's me, Tae Sub.
The oldest?
Yes.
The doctor?
I said it is.
So, this is what you look like?
What's in that head of yours?
We recorded a show on noodles then
came home and eat noodles.
It's almost 3 o'clock.
Is that lunch or dinner?
You've been sleeping?
Any noodles left for me?
Let her get it.
There's enough there for a serving.
And I shut the broth off.
Okay.
Didn't you make seasoned kimchi?
I didn't have time to do that.
There's seasoned squash
and regular kimchi here.
Okay.
Why are you at home? I thought you'd be out.
Isn't Mr. Ribs asking to see you?
Ribs went to Seoul. He said some
relative is getting married.
And Mom, I'm a student.
Mother!
Oh, in here.
I'm home.
It's so good to see you, son!
Hello, you've been doing well?
Yes. How are you?
Cho Rong.
Oh, Oppa. Long time, no see.
Kiddo.
You're just now eating your lunch?
I had to record the show today.
Go and change your clothes.
Let's have some tea.
Yes.
Your father is at the orchard.
Yes.
I'm hot and irritated.
What? With the breeze blowing,
it's nice and cool.
You're sweating like a hog.
What do you mean it's nice?
If we work hard, we don't
have to hire as many people.
It's so expensive to use hired help.
Stop complaining and be
diligent with your work.
All this hard work isn't going to translate
to much money anyway.
They say it's hard to even pay for your children's
college as a persimmon or orange grower.
But we're growing navel Hallabong which
are more expensive than those fruits.
It's hot. Hot, hot!
Instead of going through all this hassle to pull the weeds,
maybe we should set some geese free here.
Let's put some geese here
and forget about weeding.
We spent all that money on the
netting to keep the geese out.
It's not like there's that much weed,
I don't know what you're complaining about.
All you ever think about
is ways to laze around.
Did you say laze around?
What more did you expect from me?
Tae Sub is here.
Hurry up and come home.
Okay.
Oppa!
I'm sure he'll be right down.
See? Here he comes.
Your father said he's almost finished.
I see.
Do you want some cookies?
No, thanks.
I want some.
How have you been?
You call me every day.
Still.
I've been doing well.
Is Kyung Soo busy?
He'll be here tomorrow.
He must be busy with something.
That's not it. He knows I need to sleep.
He'll come tomorrow and I'll leave with him.
I see.
We have unused rooms upstairs.
It's much easier living there, right?
And you can get extra sleep in the morning.
Yes.
I work out in the mornings, at the gym.
Good. You should get your exercises.
Kyung Soo is addicted to working out.
Is that so?
He drives me crazy. He won't let up on me.
So that's why he has such a great physique.
Yes.
It's good to see you looking so peaceful.
Don't you think about home after
you've abandoned us and left us?
A little.
I doubt that. There's nothing you're lacking so
what would make you think of home?
I think about Mom's cooking.
Yes, I can see how that could be.
So, do you think you can cook to get by?
How many times have you made rice?
Do you know how to do it now?
Three times.
For the first time today, I succeeded
in getting it the right consistency.
Oh, really?
And the roe stew I made
was really good, too.
You even made roe stew? That's so amazing.
Oppa is here?
You've been doing well?
Me? Yesterday is the same as today,
today is the same as yesterday.
You're getting regular checkups?
Of course. Who do you think I am?
Drink this.
That's okay.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm happy.
Oh yeah, what about the food
I packed for you?
If you only ate 3 times at home,
it's probably all still there.
It'll be a while before I finish it.
You packed too much.
Just give me a little bit from now on.
Just enough for about 3 meals a week.
That's why I wanted to stop by
while I was in the city today
and check out your refrigerator
but decided against it.
I thought you might not welcome it.
You should have sent it back.
Call Ji Na's dad and send it back home by him.
It's such a waste to throw it away.
So I find myself eating a lot of the sides.
You know how salty that is?
Don't do that. Don't.
Just eat it this week then throw out
everything you have doubts about.
I won't do that anymore.
Have a cookie, Unni.
Let's go see a movie.
Me?
I looked at you while I said it.
I have to study for an exam.
I don't have time for movies.
Then I have to go by myself?
Why go alone? Where's your husband?
I wanted to go with him,
but he had to go in to the office.
Then go another day.
Just like when you have to have cold
buckwheat noodles that very day,
I want to see a movie today.
What do you want to see?
I'll decide when I get there.
Then it's not like you have to go today.
I know. I'll give it some thought.
I'm boiling some washcloths.
I need to go and check on them.
Tonight's dinner menu is probably
very special, right Mom?
It's rice stuffed Cornish hens.
Then it's not for me.
I'll se you later, Oppa!
Okay.
Oh, you're here?
Yes. I came to retrieve these.
Can you wait 5 minutes for me and
give me a ride to the bus stop? Okay?
Okay. I'll wait.
Why are you here?
I'm here to get these.
You need to make sure you have everything
when you pack your gears.
You'll end up in trouble like that.
That won't happen.
It was a special request by a guest.
Why are you starting already?
It's not that...
We don't have room in our refrigerator.
It's full of our own supplies, so there's no
room for the supplies for your events.
I see.
We don't even make any money on it.
I don't welcome your BBQ events.
Don't be so greedy.
But it's the truth. The weather is hot and
we have to put the fire on and cook over it.
I wish we didn't have to
do BBQ's during summer.
Just go on in.
I wouldn't say anything if we can charge
10,000 won more per person.
Why don't you talk it over with Ho Sub?
Why are you talking nonsense and
draining even more energy out of us?
I'll be the one to raise the price
if we're going to!
But you won't and that's the problem.
It is true that there's no profit.
I'm sure that's how it is.
Hyun Jin, let's go!
Okay!
You kids! You're making too much noise!
Can't you be quiet?
How can a person nap around here?
I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Grandfather!
How can you holler at home
like you're at a market?
Be quiet. I can't live with that noise.
Aigoo. It must be nice.
Just take out the hearing aid
and she can't hear anything.
She can sleep during the day
and sleep at night.
I'm envious. Envious, I say.
Your ears are the only part that's faulty.
All other parts of you are just fine.
What are you doing? What is this behavior?
I couldn't sleep.
The kids are being loud. The chickens
are making all kinds of noise.
What kids were being loud?
Let's move in to the main house. I can't live
here anymore because of the noise.
It's much better over there.
It's not out in the open like here.
If you say that, do you think
I'll agree right with it?
Where are you saying you're moving into?
If you can't live here,
then go live with Sehwa.
Stop bringing up Sehwa
at the drop of a hat.
Sehwa's mother didn't do anything wrong.
It was me at fault, me that did the wrong.
I understand why she kicked me out.
Aigoo. Oh my, my!
How dare you defend her in front of me!
You were kicked out bare
footed so I take you in,
and you dare to defend her to me?
When did I do that?
What did you say?
After all is said and done,
she's a true woman.
Sashaying about, like a willow.
It was great until just a few years ago.
Continue your good work.
Yes?
It's been a long time.
Yes, Father.
Let me wash up, okay?
Yes.
It's good to see you.
You, too.
Guests for 4:15 showing,
please make your way in to the theater.
Please give me a cola and a bag of popcorn.
I can't understand people who
come to a movie and nod off.
If you want to sleep, sleep at home.
Why come to movie theater to sleep?
How inattentive must one be
to go to sleep during a movie?
Don't you think so, Miss Yang?
I thought all men nodded off during a movie.
It must not be the case with you.
No, that's not proper manners.
Especially if you're there with a lady and
fall asleep, that should never happen.
This movie is supposed to be a bit risque.
Will it be all right for you?
Oh, you...
Oh, thank you. You're very thoughtful.
You can give that to me.
Hmm? Okay.
Ouch! What? Who did that?
Honey!
Honey, honey...
Come with me quietly.
Come out on your own. Come out.
Open the door.
Get in.
Honey... what happened was...
Get in.
Get going.
Honey... please listen...
Get going, Mr. Lee Soo In.
Honey, I'm scared.
Don't act cute,
just hurry up and get going.
Is this the time to act cute?
Just one moment please, Ji Hye...
Give me one minute... no, I
mean just give me 3 minutes.
Let me calm down first.
This is for real. Look at my hands!
How can I not be scared?
I'm so scared.
Why can't I have my eyes
roll back and pass out?
Why am I not passing out?
Get going.
W... where to?
It's boiling!
I can't eat anything with ginseng.
They told me I shouldn't eat it.
The children's mother is taking care of it.
Taking care of what?
Just because she leaves out the ginseng in the stuffing,
if she puts it in here with the rest,
that's the same thing as eating the ginseng.
What? Am I wrong about that?
Are you that afraid to eat it?
Of course. I should avoid what's bad
for me until the day I die.
If I eat ginseng when
they told me not to eat it...
She is cooking yours separately inside.
I said she's preparing yours
separately in the kitchen.
Oh. Then that's okay.
Are you eating well?
Of course.
This is what your mom would say,
but don't skip meals.
You're still young,
so you may not give it much thought.
But me, I'm 60... I don't want
to miss out on a single meal.
You should never skip meals.
It's not good to leave your stomach
empty for long periods.
You're right. So be sure
to eat your breakfast.
In the newspapers and on TV programs,
they always mention that.
They say there are a lot of people
that skip breakfast.
Yes.
Do you eat bread?
Yes, and sometimes cereal.
Rice is better.
Rice suits my taste better.
I'm glad you don't have to drive at night.
When it gets dark, it's nice to not
worry about you on the road.
I see.
I heard we're having ginseng chicken.
Yes.
Sister-in-law!
May I have some schizandra juice?
Don't worry about Little Uncle. It's okay.
Yes.
Why didn't you take care of that when
you washed up? Why pick at it here?
I don't know what's wrong with me.
There's no doubt that Mom gave birth
to a son who's not quite all there.
I always forget at least one place.
If I remember my underarms,
I forget somewhere else.
Tae Sub is here.
We saw his car when we pulled up.
Yes.
I asked for schizandra juice.
I don't like its sour taste.
Here.
Oh, you've brought them. Where's Cho Rong?
She's studying.
Cho Rong actually studies?
Cho Rong actually was a student, Hyungnim.
What a flake!
She'll hear you. How can
you say things like that?
Let's crack it open and take a good look.
Crack what open? Crack what?
With Tae Sub as the exception,
there's no one who's a good student.
Ji Hye was just average.
Ho Sub didn't even go near a college.
And Cho Rong is only going through the motions.
What a waste of the tuition money.
Is the tuition coming out of your pocket?
What's wrong with you?
Mom said that whether it's your
own money or someone else's,
it's just as precious and not to be wasted.
She said I shouldn't associate with people
who only care about their own money.
Isn't that a perfect description of you?
What?
How can you not know your own self?
You're right, I am like that.
I don't know what's wrong with me?
A thousand won of my money is much more
precious than someone else's 10,000 won.
Enjoy these with your grandmother.
Yes.
See you on Monday.
- Yes, Teacher.
- Go ahead.
Then, goodbye.
Goodbye, Grandmother.
Goodbye, Grandfather.
Yes. You've worked hard.
Yes.
Who is that?
Aigoo... you must be nearing
your expiration date.
Why do you have such a hard
time remembering people?
She works for the kid's mother.
She's her protégée.
That's the first time I've seen her.
I've never seen her before.
Aigoo, you think saying something
just makes it the truth.
She's pretty.
She looks just like somebody from long ago.
Your eyes were crooked when you were young,
how much more now that you're old?
Not even close, not close at her.
She really does resemble her.
Doesn't she look like the woman in Aewol?
If you're talking about her, I guess
she does a little. Around the eyes.
You just never know about life.
You're going home?
Yes.
Hey!
Yeah.
Yeon Joo is going home.
Oh. Bye.
Did something unpleasant
happen between you two?
No.
Then why are you like that?
Like what?
The number you're calling is turned off.
You are being directed to the voice mail.
Once connected, charge for the call will incur, so please
hang up if you do not want to be connected.
Leave that alone.
Why do you have no patience?
All you need is 3 seconds to know
if it's worth seeing or not.
How can you know in 3 seconds? Stay still.
Have you been well, Uncle?
If I haven't been, is there something
you can do to help?
Yes. Have you been doing well yourself?
Yes.
What? Do you need something?
No. You know Chae Young...
Yes.
She is leaving for Japan today...
after submitting her resignation.
I saw her briefly.
She asked me to pass on her greetings.
Was it because of you...?
Yes.
It is because of me, but also because
her father started kidney dialysis last month.
I think that was heavy on her heart,
among other things.
I put myself
in Chae Young's shoes.
It must have been so hard for her.
I'm sure it felt like she fell off a
cliff and crashed to the rocks.
I'm sure it was very painful for her.
It's something most of us don't experience.
Yes.
I was going to ask you to be good to her.
Yes.
I don't know why that
pierces at my heart so.
I feel so bad for her.
She was so pretty and
I really like her a lot.
In all honesty, even now I want
her as my daughter-in-law.
I'm sorry.
But... Kyung Soo is great too.
I'm not sure exactly how,
but he makes me feel secure.
Thank you.
I wanted to pull out my hair and
weave shoes for you.
Don't you dare even think about it!
I don't want a son with no hair.
I wanted to give you something.
But I couldn't think of what to get.
Kyung Soo had no idea either.
And it might be best if you picked out
what you want when you go to Seoul.
So I decided on cash.
Please accept this. Please?
Okay. I'll do that.
Since my son's giving this to me,
I should accept it gladly. Right?
Even pretending to study is so hard.
Weren't you really studying?
You were just pretending?
I did sit in front of the desk.
The problem is, none of it enters my brain.
How did you get through your studies?
If someone reads something 5 times,
you just have to read it 10 times.
Why didn't you give birth to
a smarter daughter?
No matter how much I think about it, I don't
think you and Dad have smart brains.
I can't argue with you on that. I'm sorry.
A mind is a funny thing, Mom.
That Rib, he hasn't called me even once.
He must have lost his mind.
Were you waiting for his call?
No. But it is strange.
He acted like a complete stalker then
became so quiet all of a sudden.
You are waiting for his call.
I'm not waiting.
I just wanted to keep him around until someone I really
like showed up, letting him give me rides in his car.
That's not a right thing to do.
Mom, shouldn't you be turning that down?
Oh, yes! Yes!
I think they're hoping
to raise the price a little.
Sister-in-law complains non-stop about it. Hyung isn't like
that but he did acknowledge that there's no profit.
I'm sure that's true.
The produce prices go up and down.
Overall, the cost of things
have gone way up.
Whenever I go to the market with Mom,
she always says that.
Let's raise the price by about 3,000 won.
Don't you think that's raising it too much?
Let's check the prices
at other places first.
Say something... anything, honey.
You're scaring me more by
just standing there, Ji Hye.
Then I'll talk.
What happened was...
Let's take care of this in a
quiet and smart manner.
That's good. Quietly and intelligently.
That's my Ji Hye. You wouldn't take something
petty and raise a big stink about it.
That's not how an educated person behaves.
I don't want to hear anything
or say anything.
There's no need to hear it or say it.
You mean you'll just... let this go?
Let's go.
Where?
I'm so stunned, I can't even cry.
These aren't tears.
It's just the salt in the sea air.
Let's go.
Wow. You have a great timing, Sis!
Mom, they're home.
Hey, put bowl of scallion on that side.
Okay.
We're home.
We're home.
We're home.
Don't just dump the salt in there.
It's been seasoned so taste first.
Aigoo. Here, take this
and put new broth in it.
Your father caused trouble once again.
Start on this while you're waiting.
Mom, just give me rice.
I don't need any chicken.
Just eat 2 drumsticks.
I'll take the skin off for you.
Did you see the movie?
Yes.
I thought your husband was going in to the
office. You met up to come home together?
Yes.
Hurry and sit down.
The food is getting cold.
Yes.
Go sit down.
When it's hot, you need to eat this
to rejuvenate. Right, Mom?
It's our traditional way of fortifying
our bodies in the summer.
The broth is really deep and tasty, Mother.
It's Grandmother who made it.
All I did was stuff them.
It's good, Grandmother.
There are still 2 more hens. Have more
when you're finished with that.
Yes.
You have it. One is enough for me.
You want my leg too? Should I give you mine?
Everyone gets a whole hen. What's with all this?
Are you sending him off to the army?
It's okay. You eat it.
What's your problem?
I don't like it when anyone
receives special treatment.
You can have my leg.
You throw a tantrum over the pettiest things.
Tae Sub's father, you can have my leg.
No, it's okay, Mother.
You have my leg. No, you have
my leg. That's so funny!
Did you see a depressing movie?
No.
Then why do you look like that?
I have a lot to think about.
There's so much to think about.
We'll help you think them through. Tell us.
It helps to put lot of heads together.
What is it?
What is it, Unni?
What is it, honey?
It must be about you.
It's not me... no. Why would you think that?
You two have been acting completely independent
of each other since through dinner.
That's not how you normally behave.
You're right. Now that I think about it,
I haven't heard Ji Hye say much this evening.
What's wrong, Ji Hye?
You brewed this too long.
This tea tastes awful.
Really? It tastes fine to me.
It's bitter.
Ji Hye.
Please make new tea for me.
You be quiet.
Can't you see we're talking?
Go ahead. Who's stopping you?
Did you two fight?
Lee Seobang, you tell us.
What's the problem?
Yes. Uh... that is... that is Mother...
You go inside, pack your things and leave.
H-h-honey.
Please don't ask me to tell you the reason.
Don't ask, you guys.
You too, Oppa.
Get up.
Honey.
Go inside. Lead the way.
Honey, not here...
I can't bring myself to pack for you.
Pack yourself and get out!
Ji Hye!
Honey!
Honey! Honey! Honey!

Let us...
get married.
What is that?
I'm getting married.
Kyung Soo!
Is Kyung Soo like that too?
Oh, that turns my stomach.
Let's see each other.
Let's just give it a try and if it doesn't
work out, I'll give up.
There's really no more to it, right?
Is there more?
He could turn out to be a real cheater.
You're an expert at lying.
Get out!
Let's end it. End it.
I was very wrong.
Forgive me just this once.
If you're really not going to divorce,
you shouldn't say those words so easily!
You want me to forgive him and let it go?
Don't you have to give
him at least one chance?
Mom!
Mr. Yang.
What's wrong with my son to cause you
to hesitate? What is the reason?
What? That a lie, isn't it?
Mom, it's Yeon Joo! It's Yeon Joo!

Episode 28
Do it right.
I am doing it right.
You have to straighten
it out as you hang it.
Look at what you're doing? It's all twisted.
Where is it twisted?
Aigoo... aigoo. Aigoo!
Okay, okay! You don't have to get up.
I'll fix them, I will.
Is someone coming to inspect
how we hang the laundry?
It's because you have such a temper
that you've suffered such a harsh life.
Who's the one that made my life difficult?
You did it to yourself.
How can it not be difficult?
Being picky even about hanging laundry...
like you taking a measuring tape to it.
What is the point in that?
It doesn't look very nice.
Just a moment.
Yes.
Are you upset with me?
No such thing.
There's nothing for me to be upset with you for.
If there is something, tell me what that is.
You've been acting strange for several days.
Why are you acting like that?
It's just how it is.
What is?
I tried to put the cart before the horse...
so I'm a little embarrassed about it.
What are you embarrassed about?
Just something.
So what is that?
I can't tell you.
You say you can't tell me something again?
When will you tell me?
You'll wait a couple of months then tell me?
I'm not sure...
it could change depending on the situation.
It could be that I will
never be able to say it.
It's probably not that big of a deal, is it?
It could be.
It's not me you're upset with, right?
It isn't.
Fine, then. I won't be curious
about it anymore.
I'm sure I'll be fine in a few days.
If I'm upset...
if it looks like I'm upset,
does it make you care?
A person cares even if their pet dog
seems upset about something.
My grandmother used to have a dog.
How can you...
how can you compare me to a dog?
I meant one cares about a dog
so how much more a person.
If you care, you should treat me better.
You go out every day and
yet there's still work to do?
You act like we've been
here only a year or two.
There's a saying that if you're gong to take
a nap, do it under the Hallabong* tree.
(*Citrus fruit of Jeju Island named after Halla Volcano)
There's a saying that if you're gong to take
a nap, do it under the Hallabong* tree.
(*Citrus fruit of Jeju Island named after Halla Volcano)
Why would you sleep under
a tree and not at home?
It means, no matter how hard you work,
there's always more work to be done.
What are you going to do today?
See if the fences are up okay
and also pull some weeds.
Isn't there a machine for that?
A machine can only do so much
so it still needs people's hands.
Are you going to be late today?
No. I just have to record the show today.
Then you'll come home all prettied up.
Your hair will be done and your face made up.
It's the day you get beautified.
I was wondering where you were going.
I want to drop in on Tae Sub.
I want to see how he's getting along
but he probably won't welcome it, right?
I need to clean out the fridge
and throw out what has gone bad.
How much could he have eaten of it?
It's easier said than done to cook
and eat at home all the time.
I'm sure everything you
sent him is still sitting there.
But it's been a week already.
Ask him before you do it. He'll be home.
Mom, you're going to record your show?
Yes.
And Dad's going to the orchard?
Yes.
I'm here by myself?
It looks that way.
When will you be home?
Around 2 o'clock.
Okay, then. I'll just take
a nap first then hit the books.
Hey, Ji Hye! Huh? Where is she?
She's giving Ji Na a bath, Uncle.
Oh, really?
Ji Hye! Let me talk to you a minute.
Just a second.
Okay.
Yes?
Oh, Ji Na. Sorry.
You have that CD, don't you?
Of the sounds of water and the birds.
Why would you need that?
Do you or don't you?
Don't you use it for the baby?
So just why would you need something
like that? Are you pregnant?
Yes, right. I'm now 8
months along, you brat.
Uncle, your asking for it really is
surprising. Why are you asking for it?
I suddenly had this thought that
we only play radio music for the Hallabong
and I'm worried they're
becoming too mainstream.
So I thought of letting them listen to
classical music or the sounds of nature.
Have you heard of that "green" method?
People have been doing
that for ages already.
Honey, why don't you pick
something out for him?
Would you like sounds of nature,
an orchestra, or violin music?
Let's set the classical music aside
for now and go with sounds of water,
of the rain, the ocean waves,
or the sounds of the birds...
starting with music for the babies
would be great!
Yes, Hallabong trees are pregnant,
that will be just perfect.
It's funny to say
the trees are pregnant, Uncle.
Hey, it's 10 months for human,
but for them it's 300 days.
If you pick them before 300 days,
then they're premature.
If you pick them too early,
they're prematurely born.
Oh, Uncle! Ten months or 300 days,
that's the same thing.
Wait then. Are you saying it's the
same for Hallabong as for humans?
It's 281 days for humans.
Here you go.
Are you loaning this or
giving it to me for good?
I received another copy from a guest
at the golf course. You can have it.
That's great. From now on,
it's baby music for them!
Byung Gul, let's get going!
Okay! I'm coming, I'm coming. Thank you.
Music is coming.
I'm going to work, Mother.
Father, I'm going to record the show.
Okay. Bring some watermelon back.
I will, Father.
Make sure it's tasty. Sweet.
Yes, Father.
Father and Mother, I'm off to work.
Okay, okay.
Do a good job.
You, too.
Uncle, too.
Yes!
It's going to be a hot one, real hot.
The temperature is starting to rise already.
Just accept it.
It must be cold when it should be cold
and hot when it should be hot.
I'm worried about our earth going crazy
and being hot when cold and cold when hot.
If our earth goes crazy,
there'll be no controlling it.
It's already started to
go nuts, so it's worrisome.
Oh. Be careful. Close it tightly.
I'll get your back zipper.
Thank you.
If you need further explanation, I will...
No, that's fine. I don't need it.
I won't sign these just yet.
Why is that?
It's my decision to make.
Everyone is waiting to get going
on the project, Chief Officer.
I'll sign them after I've
discussed them with Daddy.
I understand our President has already given
the Chairman a briefing of the project.
I'm going to confirm it once again.
Am I not allowed?
Oh, no... that's not it. It's just that...
Am I not the one who has the final say?
You are.
How many days since we've
seen each other face to face?
Have you been avoiding me?
I've been busy. And I've
spent a lot of time off-site.
Please call the equestrian center.
Tell them I'm on my way.
I won't be able to accompany you there.
I'll arrange for Executive Sohn to...
I'll be going by myself. Please tell them
I'll be riding outdoors, not indoor today.
I see. I will accompany you.
Aren't you busy?
I'll shift my schedule around.
Whatever you'd like.
Cooking has now begun.
How did you come?
I'm getting bolder and bolder.
This is great.
Maybe I should have given you a hug.
Don't gay people hug a lot?
Should we do it now?
No. And you can take this off now, too.
I thought you said you're becoming bolder.
How bold could that possible be,
for a person like me?
Was this trip in vain as well?
There was a slight change on this visit...
Yes, I guess that would be
the way to describe it.
How?
I received a call at the airport.
It was Father, through Mom.
He said he needed to
process it on his own first.
He doesn't have the confidence
to face me just yet.
He said there's no need to rush it,
that when the time comes,
we'll be able to face each other.
I'm tired.
Mother seemed to be drained
and my sisters...
one just barely answered
the questions I asked,
and the other said she was going to
study abroad. The youngest one.
Still no word from Soo Na's mom?
I don't think so. I didn't ask.
I have food ready.
Really?
Have you had breakfast yet?
No.
I hope the rice is cooked okay.
Sometimes it's okay and sometimes not.
You act like you've done it many times.
As I closed the lid on the
rice cooker, I prayed.
What?
Please let it be right,
please let it be right.
Kyung Soo doesn't like rice that's too sticky.
He doesn't like dry rice either.
If you don't cook this rice correctly,
I'm going to crush you, rice cooker.
What is that smell?
It's roe stew.
Roe stew?
Oh yeah, we had some!
If I didn't use it up,
I thought it'd go bad.
My mom is overly generous.
Even if I sent half home with you,
there's still plenty of food leftover.
Here, try it.
It's probably salty, right?
It isn't salty.
I seasoned it to your taste.
Okay, now if the rice is the right
consistency, we'll be happy.
Wow, this rice cooker must
have understood my words.
I think it's cooked just right.
Hurry, hurry, hurry! I'm starving to death.
Hurry up and bring it.
Okay already. I'll bring it right over.
The roe stew is really great.
You must have a natural talent.
It just worked out that way.
I think it'll be all right to slowly turn
over the cooking duties to you.
Is it really that good?
In the words of the kids, I'm so jazzed!
Give me a little more. Half a bowl.
Okay.
You have to go home, right?
Yes.
I'm going to take a steam
bath then go to bed.
Come around lunch time tomorrow.
Aren't we going for a jog?
You want to?
By the way, you said you wanted
to find a gift for your mom.
Did you get something?
I still haven't figured out what to get.
I've been thinking, Tae Sub...
The world will continue to
revolve without me in it.
But if I don't acknowledge myself, I'll
have nothing, not the universe, not this world.
What do you mean by that?
It means that I come before the
world or the universe. That I'm first.
So to live your life worrying about
the world, that's just futile.
There's no water.
Oh, yeah.
You're showing your novice side.
The meat noodle soup in Jeju usually refers to noodles
topped with pork then broth poured over it.
For this pork noodle soup, we don't use the
belly but the meat from the forefront leg.
When you've cooked the onion roots
and the broth is starting to become opaque,
then add your meat and
continue to develop the broth.
That will make your meat tasty and tender.
You must always soak the meat in
cold water and drain the blood.
The key to this dish is to have the cooked
pork without the off smell of the pork.
Use the leek roots to
rid the pork of its smell.
And for those who make oxtail soup at home
and need to keep it stored for a long time,
try using these roots to prepare your soup.
For those who don't like the smell of meat
or those who need to store it longer than usual,
it is always good to use these leek
roots to help preserve your dish.
I believe my son, but that young lady is standing
on her story, so what can we do about it?
We just have to accept
that it wasn't meant to be.
Oh my, this caused you trouble that
was not excusable... what shall I do?
There is no need for you
to feel bad anymore.
How could you have gone on your
vacation without seeing it through?
And if you're on your vacation,
you can't call?
In all honesty, I was a little upset
by you not taking my calls.
My wife is exceptionally strict with that.
She says taking phone calls while
on vacation ruins the vacation,
so she made me leave the phone at home.
I'm very sorry.
Let's forget it now, shall we?
Have your tea.
Yes.
Oh, that Announcer Kim Seung Mi can
act very uppity, from what I hear.
I really had no idea before.
Men usually can't judge women clearly.
Especially those that are young and pretty.
Let's meet in front of the movie theater.
I'll get the tickets ahead of time.
Uh... that might be a bit difficult, honey.
Why?
I have to go to the office at 4 o'clock.
It might take me 3 or 4 hours.
What is it that you have to do?
It's privileged information,
so I can't say anything about it.
Then what should we do?
That movie is about to end its run.
Should we go right now then?
If you have to be at the office
by 4 o'clock, let's go now.
I'll get ready right away.
Give me 5... no, 10 minutes.
Oh, honey...
Then that means we only have
time to just drop Ji Na off there.
We only see them once a week,
sometimes it's once every two weeks.
And I said you're tired,
so you won't be coming with us.
Mother probably has all kinds of
food prepared, waiting for us.
Shouldn't I spend at least
a few hours with them?
Does that stab at your conscience?
Of course it does.
We can catch a movie anytime
after work, during the week.
But Mother takes Ji Na
and goes to the sauna.
She only goes when Ji Na is the only one that
goes to visit. Right, Ji Na? To the sauna?
Yeah. We only go when you and Dad aren't there.
And Grandfather goes to play checkers.
See? Has she ever left us
there to go to the sauna?
I guess you're right.
Okay then.
Thank you, wife.
Okay Ji Na, let's get going.
If it's going to take 3 or 4 hours,
then you should be home around 8 o'clock?
Yes, give or take an hour.
Have a good time, Ji Na.
Okay, Mom.
You're not going to see us off?
I'm not in the mood to bother today.
You don't care about me anymore?
Just hurry back.
Kiss.
Oh brother.
And Ji Na too.
Let's go.
Bye-bye.
Let's go.
Yes, Chae Young.
It's okay. Go ahead.
I was just about to head home.
Why, what is it?
Why, all of a sudden?
Okay. Let's meet.
Yes. You're not asleep yet?
Just letting you know I was about
to turn the phone off and go to bed.
I'll call you when I get up.
Okay. Sleep well. I'll talk to you later.
Doctor Yang!
It's nice to have you so close.
I can see you right away.
What is going on with you?
I just made up my mind, that's all.
There are many reasons, Tae Sub.
The biggest reason is...
I don't like this place anymore.
I'm lonely here.
I wanted to stay next to you and
Kyung Soo as a good friend.
Even when I was purchasing those
3 mugs, I still thought that.
But that night, I saw how
pathetic I was being.
Now that I'm leaving...
now that I've decided to leave, I can tell you.
I think I cared for you way
too much, like a fool.
I'll need a lot of time to get over it and...
I think it'll help to not see you.
I don't have anything to say to that.
The next reason is that my
parents want me back home.
My father started kidney dialysis last month.
And... I'm not feeling
the greatest, Tae Sub.
You're still recovering from your surgery.
That's to be expected.
But it's more than that.
I'm really struggling. And I'm depressed.
I don't sleep well either.
I turned in my resignation
this morning at the hospital.
I'm leaving on a flight this evening.
As far as cleaning out my apartment,
I'll do that later.
There's still time left on the lease, so I'll be back
later and do it. I can't do it right now.
This is all so sudden.
I never dreamt you'd do this.
You've even bought those mugs for us.
I know.
But even as I was buying those mugs,
I was sad and felt sorry for myself, Tae Sub.
But it's okay now.
Tell me I made the right decision, Tae Sub.
Tae Sub.
I'll feel bad for the rest of my life
for the pain I caused you.
Who can know?
I really did like you.
No, I like you still.
I know.
I wanted to keep you as my lifelong friend.
Sorry for being so selfish.
When I meet someone new,
I'll come see you with him.
Okay, I'll be waiting.
Please tell your mother and grandmother that
I'm sorry for not seeing them before I go.
They must think I'm a silly girl. Right?
No. They both regret you
not becoming family.
Tell them to be healthy. To be happy.
Okay.
What time is the flight?
I should be there no later than 5 o'clock.
I'll see you off.
No, don't do that.
How can I let you leave alone?
We're seeing each other like this.
And I told you. It's okay.
- Chae Young!
- I don't want you to...
I really don't want you to, Tae Sub.
Let me leave alone.
Let's just say our goodbyes here.
Bye.
Be happy together.
Okay.
Grandmother.
You're home?
Yes. You've been well?
Of course. I've been getting
along just fine.
Where is Grandfather?
He just went in to brush his teeth.
Who's here?
How have you been, Grandfather?
It's me, Tae Sub.
The oldest?
Yes.
The doctor?
I said it is.
So, this is what you look like?
What's in that head of yours?
We recorded a show on noodles then
came home and eat noodles.
It's almost 3 o'clock.
Is that lunch or dinner?
You've been sleeping?
Any noodles left for me?
Let her get it.
There's enough there for a serving.
And I shut the broth off.
Okay.
Didn't you make seasoned kimchi?
I didn't have time to do that.
There's seasoned squash
and regular kimchi here.
Okay.
Why are you at home? I thought you'd be out.
Isn't Mr. Ribs asking to see you?
Ribs went to Seoul. He said some
relative is getting married.
And Mom, I'm a student.
Mother!
Oh, in here.
I'm home.
It's so good to see you, son!
Hello, you've been doing well?
Yes. How are you?
Cho Rong.
Oh, Oppa. Long time, no see.
Kiddo.
You're just now eating your lunch?
I had to record the show today.
Go and change your clothes.
Let's have some tea.
Yes.
Your father is at the orchard.
Yes.
I'm hot and irritated.
What? With the breeze blowing,
it's nice and cool.
You're sweating like a hog.
What do you mean it's nice?
If we work hard, we don't
have to hire as many people.
It's so expensive to use hired help.
Stop complaining and be
diligent with your work.
All this hard work isn't going to translate
to much money anyway.
They say it's hard to even pay for your children's
college as a persimmon or orange grower.
But we're growing navel Hallabong which
are more expensive than those fruits.
It's hot. Hot, hot!
Instead of going through all this hassle to pull the weeds,
maybe we should set some geese free here.
Let's put some geese here
and forget about weeding.
We spent all that money on the
netting to keep the geese out.
It's not like there's that much weed,
I don't know what you're complaining about.
All you ever think about
is ways to laze around.
Did you say laze around?
What more did you expect from me?
Tae Sub is here.
Hurry up and come home.
Okay.
Oppa!
I'm sure he'll be right down.
See? Here he comes.
Your father said he's almost finished.
I see.
Do you want some cookies?
No, thanks.
I want some.
How have you been?
You call me every day.
Still.
I've been doing well.
Is Kyung Soo busy?
He'll be here tomorrow.
He must be busy with something.
That's not it. He knows I need to sleep.
He'll come tomorrow and I'll leave with him.
I see.
We have unused rooms upstairs.
It's much easier living there, right?
And you can get extra sleep in the morning.
Yes.
I work out in the mornings, at the gym.
Good. You should get your exercises.
Kyung Soo is addicted to working out.
Is that so?
He drives me crazy. He won't let up on me.
So that's why he has such a great physique.
Yes.
It's good to see you looking so peaceful.
Don't you think about home after
you've abandoned us and left us?
A little.
I doubt that. There's nothing you're lacking so
what would make you think of home?
I think about Mom's cooking.
Yes, I can see how that could be.
So, do you think you can cook to get by?
How many times have you made rice?
Do you know how to do it now?
Three times.
For the first time today, I succeeded
in getting it the right consistency.
Oh, really?
And the roe stew I made
was really good, too.
You even made roe stew? That's so amazing.
Oppa is here?
You've been doing well?
Me? Yesterday is the same as today,
today is the same as yesterday.
You're getting regular checkups?
Of course. Who do you think I am?
Drink this.
That's okay.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm happy.
Oh yeah, what about the food
I packed for you?
If you only ate 3 times at home,
it's probably all still there.
It'll be a while before I finish it.
You packed too much.
Just give me a little bit from now on.
Just enough for about 3 meals a week.
That's why I wanted to stop by
while I was in the city today
and check out your refrigerator
but decided against it.
I thought you might not welcome it.
You should have sent it back.
Call Ji Na's dad and send it back home by him.
It's such a waste to throw it away.
So I find myself eating a lot of the sides.
You know how salty that is?
Don't do that. Don't.
Just eat it this week then throw out
everything you have doubts about.
I won't do that anymore.
Have a cookie, Unni.
Let's go see a movie.
Me?
I looked at you while I said it.
I have to study for an exam.
I don't have time for movies.
Then I have to go by myself?
Why go alone? Where's your husband?
I wanted to go with him,
but he had to go in to the office.
Then go another day.
Just like when you have to have cold
buckwheat noodles that very day,
I want to see a movie today.
What do you want to see?
I'll decide when I get there.
Then it's not like you have to go today.
I know. I'll give it some thought.
I'm boiling some washcloths.
I need to go and check on them.
Tonight's dinner menu is probably
very special, right Mom?
It's rice stuffed Cornish hens.
Then it's not for me.
I'll se you later, Oppa!
Okay.
Oh, you're here?
Yes. I came to retrieve these.
Can you wait 5 minutes for me and
give me a ride to the bus stop? Okay?
Okay. I'll wait.
Why are you here?
I'm here to get these.
You need to make sure you have everything
when you pack your gears.
You'll end up in trouble like that.
That won't happen.
It was a special request by a guest.
Why are you starting already?
It's not that...
We don't have room in our refrigerator.
It's full of our own supplies, so there's no
room for the supplies for your events.
I see.
We don't even make any money on it.
I don't welcome your BBQ events.
Don't be so greedy.
But it's the truth. The weather is hot and
we have to put the fire on and cook over it.
I wish we didn't have to
do BBQ's during summer.
Just go on in.
I wouldn't say anything if we can charge
10,000 won more per person.
Why don't you talk it over with Ho Sub?
Why are you talking nonsense and
draining even more energy out of us?
I'll be the one to raise the price
if we're going to!
But you won't and that's the problem.
It is true that there's no profit.
I'm sure that's how it is.
Hyun Jin, let's go!
Okay!
You kids! You're making too much noise!
Can't you be quiet?
How can a person nap around here?
I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Grandfather!
How can you holler at home
like you're at a market?
Be quiet. I can't live with that noise.
Aigoo. It must be nice.
Just take out the hearing aid
and she can't hear anything.
She can sleep during the day
and sleep at night.
I'm envious. Envious, I say.
Your ears are the only part that's faulty.
All other parts of you are just fine.
What are you doing? What is this behavior?
I couldn't sleep.
The kids are being loud. The chickens
are making all kinds of noise.
What kids were being loud?
Let's move in to the main house. I can't live
here anymore because of the noise.
It's much better over there.
It's not out in the open like here.
If you say that, do you think
I'll agree right with it?
Where are you saying you're moving into?
If you can't live here,
then go live with Sehwa.
Stop bringing up Sehwa
at the drop of a hat.
Sehwa's mother didn't do anything wrong.
It was me at fault, me that did the wrong.
I understand why she kicked me out.
Aigoo. Oh my, my!
How dare you defend her in front of me!
You were kicked out bare
footed so I take you in,
and you dare to defend her to me?
When did I do that?
What did you say?
After all is said and done,
she's a true woman.
Sashaying about, like a willow.
It was great until just a few years ago.
Continue your good work.
Yes?
It's been a long time.
Yes, Father.
Let me wash up, okay?
Yes.
It's good to see you.
You, too.
Guests for 4:15 showing,
please make your way in to the theater.
Please give me a cola and a bag of popcorn.
I can't understand people who
come to a movie and nod off.
If you want to sleep, sleep at home.
Why come to movie theater to sleep?
How inattentive must one be
to go to sleep during a movie?
Don't you think so, Miss Yang?
I thought all men nodded off during a movie.
It must not be the case with you.
No, that's not proper manners.
Especially if you're there with a lady and
fall asleep, that should never happen.
This movie is supposed to be a bit risque.
Will it be all right for you?
Oh, you...
Oh, thank you. You're very thoughtful.
You can give that to me.
Hmm? Okay.
Ouch! What? Who did that?
Honey!
Honey, honey...
Come with me quietly.
Come out on your own. Come out.
Open the door.
Get in.
Honey... what happened was...
Get in.
Get going.
Honey... please listen...
Get going, Mr. Lee Soo In.
Honey, I'm scared.
Don't act cute,
just hurry up and get going.
Is this the time to act cute?
Just one moment please, Ji Hye...
Give me one minute... no, I
mean just give me 3 minutes.
Let me calm down first.
This is for real. Look at my hands!
How can I not be scared?
I'm so scared.
Why can't I have my eyes
roll back and pass out?
Why am I not passing out?
Get going.
W... where to?
It's boiling!
I can't eat anything with ginseng.
They told me I shouldn't eat it.
The children's mother is taking care of it.
Taking care of what?
Just because she leaves out the ginseng in the stuffing,
if she puts it in here with the rest,
that's the same thing as eating the ginseng.
What? Am I wrong about that?
Are you that afraid to eat it?
Of course. I should avoid what's bad
for me until the day I die.
If I eat ginseng when
they told me not to eat it...
She is cooking yours separately inside.
I said she's preparing yours
separately in the kitchen.
Oh. Then that's okay.
Are you eating well?
Of course.
This is what your mom would say,
but don't skip meals.
You're still young,
so you may not give it much thought.
But me, I'm 60... I don't want
to miss out on a single meal.
You should never skip meals.
It's not good to leave your stomach
empty for long periods.
You're right. So be sure
to eat your breakfast.
In the newspapers and on TV programs,
they always mention that.
They say there are a lot of people
that skip breakfast.
Yes.
Do you eat bread?
Yes, and sometimes cereal.
Rice is better.
Rice suits my taste better.
I'm glad you don't have to drive at night.
When it gets dark, it's nice to not
worry about you on the road.
I see.
I heard we're having ginseng chicken.
Yes.
Sister-in-law!
May I have some schizandra juice?
Don't worry about Little Uncle. It's okay.
Yes.
Why didn't you take care of that when
you washed up? Why pick at it here?
I don't know what's wrong with me.
There's no doubt that Mom gave birth
to a son who's not quite all there.
I always forget at least one place.
If I remember my underarms,
I forget somewhere else.
Tae Sub is here.
We saw his car when we pulled up.
Yes.
I asked for schizandra juice.
I don't like its sour taste.
Here.
Oh, you've brought them. Where's Cho Rong?
She's studying.
Cho Rong actually studies?
Cho Rong actually was a student, Hyungnim.
What a flake!
She'll hear you. How can
you say things like that?
Let's crack it open and take a good look.
Crack what open? Crack what?
With Tae Sub as the exception,
there's no one who's a good student.
Ji Hye was just average.
Ho Sub didn't even go near a college.
And Cho Rong is only going through the motions.
What a waste of the tuition money.
Is the tuition coming out of your pocket?
What's wrong with you?
Mom said that whether it's your
own money or someone else's,
it's just as precious and not to be wasted.
She said I shouldn't associate with people
who only care about their own money.
Isn't that a perfect description of you?
What?
How can you not know your own self?
You're right, I am like that.
I don't know what's wrong with me?
A thousand won of my money is much more
precious than someone else's 10,000 won.
Enjoy these with your grandmother.
Yes.
See you on Monday.
- Yes, Teacher.
- Go ahead.
Then, goodbye.
Goodbye, Grandmother.
Goodbye, Grandfather.
Yes. You've worked hard.
Yes.
Who is that?
Aigoo... you must be nearing
your expiration date.
Why do you have such a hard
time remembering people?
She works for the kid's mother.
She's her protégée.
That's the first time I've seen her.
I've never seen her before.
Aigoo, you think saying something
just makes it the truth.
She's pretty.
She looks just like somebody from long ago.
Your eyes were crooked when you were young,
how much more now that you're old?
Not even close, not close at her.
She really does resemble her.
Doesn't she look like the woman in Aewol?
If you're talking about her, I guess
she does a little. Around the eyes.
You just never know about life.
You're going home?
Yes.
Hey!
Yeah.
Yeon Joo is going home.
Oh. Bye.
Did something unpleasant
happen between you two?
No.
Then why are you like that?
Like what?
The number you're calling is turned off.
You are being directed to the voice mail.
Once connected, charge for the call will incur, so please
hang up if you do not want to be connected.
Leave that alone.
Why do you have no patience?
All you need is 3 seconds to know
if it's worth seeing or not.
How can you know in 3 seconds? Stay still.
Have you been well, Uncle?
If I haven't been, is there something
you can do to help?
Yes. Have you been doing well yourself?
Yes.
What? Do you need something?
No. You know Chae Young...
Yes.
She is leaving for Japan today...
after submitting her resignation.
I saw her briefly.
She asked me to pass on her greetings.
Was it because of you...?
Yes.
It is because of me, but also because
her father started kidney dialysis last month.
I think that was heavy on her heart,
among other things.
I put myself
in Chae Young's shoes.
It must have been so hard for her.
I'm sure it felt like she fell off a
cliff and crashed to the rocks.
I'm sure it was very painful for her.
It's something most of us don't experience.
Yes.
I was going to ask you to be good to her.
Yes.
I don't know why that
pierces at my heart so.
I feel so bad for her.
She was so pretty and
I really like her a lot.
In all honesty, even now I want
her as my daughter-in-law.
I'm sorry.
But... Kyung Soo is great too.
I'm not sure exactly how,
but he makes me feel secure.
Thank you.
I wanted to pull out my hair and
weave shoes for you.
Don't you dare even think about it!
I don't want a son with no hair.
I wanted to give you something.
But I couldn't think of what to get.
Kyung Soo had no idea either.
And it might be best if you picked out
what you want when you go to Seoul.
So I decided on cash.
Please accept this. Please?
Okay. I'll do that.
Since my son's giving this to me,
I should accept it gladly. Right?
Even pretending to study is so hard.
Weren't you really studying?
You were just pretending?
I did sit in front of the desk.
The problem is, none of it enters my brain.
How did you get through your studies?
If someone reads something 5 times,
you just have to read it 10 times.
Why didn't you give birth to
a smarter daughter?
No matter how much I think about it, I don't
think you and Dad have smart brains.
I can't argue with you on that. I'm sorry.
A mind is a funny thing, Mom.
That Rib, he hasn't called me even once.
He must have lost his mind.
Were you waiting for his call?
No. But it is strange.
He acted like a complete stalker then
became so quiet all of a sudden.
You are waiting for his call.
I'm not waiting.
I just wanted to keep him around until someone I really
like showed up, letting him give me rides in his car.
That's not a right thing to do.
Mom, shouldn't you be turning that down?
Oh, yes! Yes!
I think they're hoping
to raise the price a little.
Sister-in-law complains non-stop about it. Hyung isn't like
that but he did acknowledge that there's no profit.
I'm sure that's true.
The produce prices go up and down.
Overall, the cost of things
have gone way up.
Whenever I go to the market with Mom,
she always says that.
Let's raise the price by about 3,000 won.
Don't you think that's raising it too much?
Let's check the prices
at other places first.
Say something... anything, honey.
You're scaring me more by
just standing there, Ji Hye.
Then I'll talk.
What happened was...
Let's take care of this in a
quiet and smart manner.
That's good. Quietly and intelligently.
That's my Ji Hye. You wouldn't take something
petty and raise a big stink about it.
That's not how an educated person behaves.
I don't want to hear anything
or say anything.
There's no need to hear it or say it.
You mean you'll just... let this go?
Let's go.
Where?
I'm so stunned, I can't even cry.
These aren't tears.
It's just the salt in the sea air.
Let's go.
Wow. You have a great timing, Sis!
Mom, they're home.
Hey, put bowl of scallion on that side.
Okay.
We're home.
We're home.
We're home.
Don't just dump the salt in there.
It's been seasoned so taste first.
Aigoo. Here, take this
and put new broth in it.
Your father caused trouble once again.
Start on this while you're waiting.
Mom, just give me rice.
I don't need any chicken.
Just eat 2 drumsticks.
I'll take the skin off for you.
Did you see the movie?
Yes.
I thought your husband was going in to the
office. You met up to come home together?
Yes.
Hurry and sit down.
The food is getting cold.
Yes.
Go sit down.
When it's hot, you need to eat this
to rejuvenate. Right, Mom?
It's our traditional way of fortifying
our bodies in the summer.
The broth is really deep and tasty, Mother.
It's Grandmother who made it.
All I did was stuff them.
It's good, Grandmother.
There are still 2 more hens. Have more
when you're finished with that.
Yes.
You have it. One is enough for me.
You want my leg too? Should I give you mine?
Everyone gets a whole hen. What's with all this?
Are you sending him off to the army?
It's okay. You eat it.
What's your problem?
I don't like it when anyone
receives special treatment.
You can have my leg.
You throw a tantrum over the pettiest things.
Tae Sub's father, you can have my leg.
No, it's okay, Mother.
You have my leg. No, you have
my leg. That's so funny!
Did you see a depressing movie?
No.
Then why do you look like that?
I have a lot to think about.
There's so much to think about.
We'll help you think them through. Tell us.
It helps to put lot of heads together.
What is it?
What is it, Unni?
What is it, honey?
It must be about you.
It's not me... no. Why would you think that?
You two have been acting completely independent
of each other since through dinner.
That's not how you normally behave.
You're right. Now that I think about it,
I haven't heard Ji Hye say much this evening.
What's wrong, Ji Hye?
You brewed this too long.
This tea tastes awful.
Really? It tastes fine to me.
It's bitter.
Ji Hye.
Please make new tea for me.
You be quiet.
Can't you see we're talking?
Go ahead. Who's stopping you?
Did you two fight?
Lee Seobang, you tell us.
What's the problem?
Yes. Uh... that is... that is Mother...
You go inside, pack your things and leave.
H-h-honey.
Please don't ask me to tell you the reason.
Don't ask, you guys.
You too, Oppa.
Get up.
Honey.
Go inside. Lead the way.
Honey, not here...
I can't bring myself to pack for you.
Pack yourself and get out!
Ji Hye!
Honey!
Honey! Honey! Honey!

Let us...
get married.
What is that?
I'm getting married.
Kyung Soo!
Is Kyung Soo like that too?
Oh, that turns my stomach.
Let's see each other.
Let's just give it a try and if it doesn't
work out, I'll give up.
There's really no more to it, right?
Is there more?
He could turn out to be a real cheater.
You're an expert at lying.
Get out!
Let's end it. End it.
I was very wrong.
Forgive me just this once.
If you're really not going to divorce,
you shouldn't say those words so easily!
You want me to forgive him and let it go?
Don't you have to give
him at least one chance?
Mom!
Mr. Yang.
What's wrong with my son to cause you
to hesitate? What is the reason?
What? That a lie, isn't it?
Mom, it's Yeon Joo! It's Yeon Joo!
