[Episode 8]

We're here!

Mother, you're here.

Ouch, it's hot!

Oh, it's hot!

What...

Oh! Oh, my gosh...

What's all this?

Mo... Mother...

They're fish patties.

What in the world is going on here?

You didn't prepare the memorial service food, did you?

No. No way.

Gosh...

Goodness...

Mother.

Goodness! You call this memorial service food?

Pork belly meat?

What do we do?

These chestnuts are snacks, not service food...

How strange.

Three, two, four, two.

What were you grilling?

You prepared so much.

Mother, I didn't do this all by myself.

I prepared it with my wife. We cooked it together.

One, two, three, four, two, two three, four,

three, two, three, four, four, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four...

I can't focus on my exercising because you're so loud.

Why are you guys so loud?

Don't you know it's bad manners to be loud in other people's houses?

That witch!

Ae-ja, why is there a folding screen right here?

You didn't put this up to divide the house into two, did you?

That would be too childish.

Gosh, no way!

I'm sure she got the screen out for the memorial service.

Can you move it to that side, honey?

You're absolutely right.

This side of the screen belongs to me, Hong Ae-ja.

And that side belongs to Ma Jung-gi, the oldest son of the Ma family.

So don't think about coming across to this side,

and hold your memorial service quietly and leave.

What did you say?

I can no longer take this! That witch! That vixen!

You've done enough to embarrass us at his 60th birthday party!

What do you think you're doing?

Mother!

You might faint.

Old lady, you shouldn't be so loud here.

You should think about the neighbor.

What... what did you say?

Old... lady?

Gosh, my dear husband in heaven!

Take me with you.

I've lived too long.

Gosh, my dear...

Stop right this instant and prepare the food!

We'll help you, Ae-ja.

Look, my dear ex sister-in-law.

What do you mean, you'll help me?

You're in charge of all the memorial services from now on.

Wake up and smell the roses.

Huh?

Ae-ja, but you should at least prepare for Father's memorial service.

You have to...

I've prepared for the memorial services for the last 35 years,

and you always showed up looking nice and empty-handed,

and you did nothing.

Why do you suddenly look so concerned about the memorial service?

Ae-ja, you're still the first daughter-in-law.

It's only normal for the oldest daughter-in-law to prepare for the...

memorial services. Why would you complain about such things?

Every oldest daughter-in-law living in Korea prepares for memorial services.

Oh, is that so?

Well, I'm no longer your pushover eldest daughter-in-law.

You saw us seal the divorce papers.

Gosh, that vixen!

She still doesn't know what she did wrong.

I heard you got $60,000 of So's precious pension money.

Good grief... Goodness...

Is that right?

You had the nerve to say you bought this house with your own money!

How could you?

Do you know how much this house is worth? $60,000? That's nothing.

Anyway, that's why I'm letting you hold the service here.

So go ahead and hold your memorial service and leave.

You witch!

Give him back his money! Right this moment!

Give it back! Give it back!

Stop it! That's enough!

Fine! I got it. I got it.

You don't have to prepare for the memorial service if you don't want to.

You and I are so over!

Mother, you should stop now.

We no longer have the oldest daughter-in-law in our family.

Just accept that as a fact.

I can't call that ignorant woman my wife anymore.

You're supposed to prepare for the service with love.

What can we expect from a woman like that?

Come this way. Come on.

Okay, okay.

Let's hold our memorial service first.

Let's just do it ourselves.

We should have the food table out first.

What in the world is happening?

Why would she divide this big house into two?

Let's kick her out.

That vixen! That vixen!

Please don't say anymore, Mother.

Let's carry out the table carefully.

You should stay inside, Mother.

Lift it up. Lift it up.

You have to balance it well.

Slowly, slowly.

I never pushed you!

Ouch, my back. Gosh, what's happening here?

What is all this?

You should've carried it carefully. What do we do now?

Gosh, it hurts.

Jeez, what's going on?

Mom!

What happened to our house?

My dear Dr. Ma!

I thought you were going to sleep over at the hospital.

I came to get the documents.

I asked Dad to bring them, but he didn't.

Something happened at home last night?

It was Grandfather's memorial service last night.

I came home late and was so shocked.

Don't be shocked over something like this.

Mom, how are you going to clean all this mess?

That's what I mean.

Whoever made a mess will clean it, I guess!

[What? It's a total mess?]

[I guess everyone came by for the memorial service.]

[The whole house is a complete mess.]

[I knew Grandma wouldn't stay quiet for too long.]

[So they all came by for the service, huh?

What did Dad say?]

[He's not coming out from his room.

I'm sure he's upset that the memorial service was a disaster.]

[It's their fault for expecting a divorced daughter-in-law to prepare for it.]

[They're just too much.]

[So did you help her clean the house?

What if Mom gets sick after all that labor?]

[We offered to help, but we were kicked out.]

[You know Mom never lets us in the kitchen.

"If you have time for house chores...

study more and do more important things."]

[I don't know how Mom raised us while doing all the house chores and working.

I don't even have enough time to study.]

[I don't think I'd ever be able to do it.

Not anyone can be a queen bee.]

[Only our mom can do it.]

[Oh, I'm being called to the ER.

Talk later!]

[I have a morning lecture.

I'll be leaving.]

[I should get back to work, too.]

How can they make such a mess out of the house?

I can't believe this!

If they made a mess, they should clean it up, too!

How come I'm the only one cleaning up...

the mess you created?

Listen up, Mr. Ma Jung-gi!

You think playing stupid is the answer?

Come out and throw out the trash,

or mop the floor!

Listen up!

How can you be sleeping in this situation?

How can you sleep after making this mess?

My goodness, you scared me!

Ms. Hong Ae-ja.

Wh... what?

Is the dirty kitchen all you care about?

Yes. So?

You took charge of my father's memorial service...

for 35 years, ever since you married me.

Even if you were upset with me and my family,

you should've still done your duties.

I just can't believe you're the same woman...

that I've lived together with for so long...

and had children with.

What are you talking about?

A person has to behave like a human being.

If you only act out of emotions, that makes you an animal, not a human.

Aren't you the person who ruined your father's memorial service?

Why are you taking it out on me?

I don't care. Give me my money back.

I refuse to live in the same space with a woman like you.

How can I pay you when I don't have any money?

Listen to me.

You and I aren't related anymore.

If you took my money, you have to pay up.

Oh, good grief!

Fine! I'll pay you! I will!

I'll sell this house if I have to!

Is that so?

Then let's go put up the house for sale.

Come out.

Right now?

Real estate prices are dropping these days.

I said hurry up and come out!

Oh, all right. All right.

You think I'd be scared just because you threatened to sell the house?

Fine. Let's put it up for sale! Let's just do it!

I don't like it any more than you do.

Do you think I enjoy sharing the house...

with my divorced husband?

I hate these living conditions, too!

Come out!

Fine. Let me put on a coat.

I can't believe this.

People are living in constant battles of conflicts.

Between friends, spouses, parents, children...

Conflicts are constantly ongoing.

However, ironically, the truth of all conflicts...

exists inside of your own hearts.

Please take a look at this picture.

[Mother-In-Law]

She's not picking up my phone call again?

What's wrong with her?

I thought I made myself clear to her.

She's still not picking up?

Why aren't you answering my calls?

How dare you behave this way?

I have to discuss the cultural center,

so call me back right this instant.

What do you see from this picture?

An old lady.

Yes, you see the side face of an old lady.

What else?

The side of a young woman.

Yes.

You'll also see the side of a young woman.

So even under the very same situation,

people tend to look only at what they want to see.

Professor.

What is it, Seung-geun?

It's not that I only want to look at what I want to see,

but I really only see the old woman.

Oh, really?

Well, that's not the point right now.

The point is because we tend to only see what we want,

people insist on what they think is right...

and criticize others when they have different opinions.

Professor!

I'm not trying to see only one side of it,

but I really only see an old lady's face.

Yes, I'm sure you think you're trying not to see only one side of the picture...

but something inside you is making you only see one instead of both.

As such, the truth of all conflicts...

lies within people's unconsciousness.

Ah, Professor?

What is it this time?

Then what in my unconsciousness...

is making me only see one side of the picture?

Are you saying that something within me...

is controlling the way I think and see?

It took me longer to prepare this...

because you kept on insisting to lower the level of classes.

"An easy way to do noblesse oblige?"

Yes, an easy way...

I added that word "easy" because of what you said.

Since you kept on saying everything I do is hard.

"Brava bravo bravi brave?"

Surely, you know what that is, right?

What kind of class is that, Mom?

Can't you see that it'll be a class on opera?

Honey,

our main customers are average Joes who are mostly concerned...

about what to cook for dinner,

and what sale items will be out in the market.

Who will come to learn about opera?

Why not?

Everybody likes music. Isn't that right, Mom?

I told you I don't want our market to be for just average people.

I want it to be a membership only...

Oh, "Understanding the Obsession of Brand-names."

This sounds interesting.

I'm going to ask Ji-sung to take over that class.

Will she do it willingly?

Of course. I'm telling her to do it.

Right. Of course...

What is this?

"The Multidimensional Universe and Eastern Philosophy?"

What is this even supposed to mean?

Dad...

What exactly are you referring to here?

Why are you going round and round?

There are plenty of nearby real estate offices.

I'm a TV celebrity.

I have to go somewhere quiet and remote to do this.

Oh, goodness...

Let's go that way.

I know a real estate office there.

All right.

Hurry up.

Hello, Producer Kim? What is it?

Do we have the airtime schedule?

Your sell-out record for the cleanser is about to be broken.

Somebody is calling to refund it.

What?

What cheapskate would refund a cleanser?

So did you do it?

No.

But he's notorious for refunding items,

so he's been handed over to the JS Team.

And he's been calling nonstop all day.

Well, I'm sure they can take care of him.

You shouldn't have sent him the sesame oil set.

Good job. Good.

We don't need to waste a free giveaway to a cheapskate like him.

All right. Okay.

Bye.

He's just like JS.

Why would he ask for a refund for a product that's only 40 dollars?

JS?

What's JS?

A person like you.

Excuse me.

I'm not even asking for a full refund.

I'll pay for one bottle that I used already.

So why can't I refund the rest?

You used to let me refund things even after I opened the packages.

Why can't you take it now?

And why aren't you sending me the sesame oil set?

Hello?

All items sold by your host Ms. Hong,

or whatever her name is, are expensive!

I never bought anything for a good price.

I paid for that sesame oil, so it's not even a free giveaway!

She lures people to buy her crappy stuff...

with her smooth words!

Excuse me.

Mister...

You're talking like an ignorant man.

Who are you?

Wait a minute.

You look so familiar.

Where have I seen you before?

You've never seen me before.

Anyway, Home Shopping never sells any crappy items.

Just mark my words.

No. No.

I've seen you before for sure.

We're here to put up our house for sale.

Oh, I see.

Hang on.

I've seen you somewhere before, too.

Me?

Oh, the memorial service!

You came to do the groceries...

to prepare for the memorial service!

Oh!

Oh, that's right.

You said you were helping your busy wife.

We live in S Palace Villa right over there.

Oh, I see.

Real estate prices are so low these days...

that your villa would only be worth about $500,000.

What did you say?

That makes no sense at all!

You know how much I paid ten years ago to buy that place?

You'll never be able to sell it for more than that.

You don't know how much your villa is worth.

What makes you think my house won't sell?

I sent three of my girls to Korea University from that house!

If buyers hear that, they'll be all excited to buy the place!

Korea University?

My oldest son went to Korea University,

and my second son is getting his doctoral degree there.

Doctoral degree?

Ha!

My girls already finished their doctoral degrees!

One is a professor, another a doctor,

and the other is a professional consultant at JW!

Goodness, me!

My oldest son goes to JW, too!

Give me a break!

He's just an employee of JW, right?

My daughter is...

Listen up!

How would you know if he's just an employee there,

or if he's someone important there? Huh?

Stop.

Stop. That's enough.

You raised your sons very well.

Well, that's what everybody tells me.

Oh, I see.

Anyway, please sell our place at any rate. We're in a hurry.

I see.

Write down your address and phone number.

Why would I sell off my perfectly good house at that price?

Oh, goodness...

Please do it for me.

Sure.

Let's go.

I won't go a cent lower than that price!

Thank you.

Oh, goodness.

I can just tell what kind of family it is.

She's just a loudmouth woman...

who pokes her head in everyone's business.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Hello, this is Pilseung Real Estate.

Rent for a room?

I have a very cheap one. Want to take a look?

Why, of course.

You can move in right away.

I don't think we can sell the house easily.

You said it was just $60,000.

Whether you sell the house or not, I want my money ASAP.

You made me seal the divorce papers.

I refuse to live under the same roof as you.

I don't like it any more than you do.

But we just don't have any other choice.

Oh, goodness...

Hello, Jung-tae?

What?

What did you say?

Mother was sent to the ER?

Okay.

Oh, all right.

I'll be right there.

Hey.

Mother was sent to the ER!

Let's hurry up and go.

She'll get up just fine after half a day.

She did take her time in going to the ER this time.

I thought she'd go last night.

How can you be so cold?

Think about how shocked she was.

Oh, goodness...

Oh, Mother...

Mother!

Your mother's been putting on an act...

of fainting and not eating for years now.

Don't you know she likes being sent to the ER?

What a good son...

You're a sucker son!

Gosh, how frustrating.

Oh, goodness...

She's not even surprised to hear...

that her mother-in-law was sent to the ER.

My goodness.

What kind of cruel woman is she?

Goodness...

Excuse me.

What?

Aren't you going home?

I will.

Hey, let's talk.

I can't take this anymore,

so let's talk over a shot of soju.

Eat some meat, too.

What kind of woman are you?

So what did you want to talk about?

Tell me what I did wrong.

Driving you home safely from the airport?

Or are you mad about your car?

Well, it's not my fault that your car is a piece of crap...

I'm sorry. Fine, I'm sorry.

Anyway, I fixed it up, didn't I?

And it's not like I volunteered to be on your team.

I was doing just fine on my own sales team,

but you dragged me on to your team.

So?

Well, think about it.

I know you're a team leader and all...

but you're still a woman.

And yet, you yell at me about everything...

in front of everybody.

And what about you?

What kind of guy are you to whine about everything...

and tattletale to your boss about me?

You can't even do what I ask you to do properly.

I never whined about anything.

And what did I ever tattletale on?

I'm sure the upper-management didn't like that a woman...

waltzed into our company, trying to take all control.

So a man can waltz into your company, but not a woman?

What kind of nonsense is that?

Come on, women and men are different.

Even if you take the lead, you have to do it like a woman.

Ever so gently...

Listen.

Okay, fine.

I'll be ever so gentle with you.

Let's drink up first.

Mother, please be better.

I'm sorry for being such a bad son.

Everyone else is on their way here.

Mom.

You're going to pass away at this rate.

Oh, goodness.

Kids...

Mother.

Mom.

Mother, are you conscious now?

I think it's time for me to die.

Mother, how can you say such a thing?

Don't cry.

This old body deserves to die.

Mom.

You have to live a long, long time.

I hope you'll be happy.

Mom.

Mother.

Nurse! Nurse!

The things I went through to raise you...

Oh! Oh! Mother!

Mother!

You're all I have...

Mother!

Mother, please don't say anything.

I know how you feel.

I'm the bad son...

Dad.

Hee-sung, what took you so long to come?

Your grandmother is about to die.

Do something. Quick.

Okay.

How is she?

Is she going to be all right?

Don't make that sound. You're a woman. Have some class.

Woman, woman, woman.

Do you know how many times you said the word "woman?"

How would I know?

I'm saying it because you just don't look like a woman.

Then don't look at me as a woman.

That way, we won't have any problems.

I never said I look at you like a woman.

I don't.

I can't!

In my dictionary,

women have to be pretty.

They also have to be quiet and cute.

Anybody not like that isn't a woman in my dictionary.

Mr. So.

I think it's time that I showed you what kind of woman I am.

I don't really care to find out.

What are you doing?

I guess you work out.

You have some muscles.

What work out routine do you usually do?

Just this and that.

I see.

All guys like to work out.

You sure are a man, aren't you?

Well, not really.

Hang on.

Surely, you're not drunk already, are you?

I mean, you're the man...

Why, of course, not!

Why do you ask? Do you want to drink more?

No, no, no.

I'm perfect right now.

Mr. So Jung-geun.

I'll show you everything about me today.

Let's go.

Why do you keep on saying that?

What?

Are you scared?

Why would I be scared of you?

Then follow me!

What are you doing? Where are we going?

What kind of woman is so strong?

Where are you taking me?

[Motel]

You want me to go in there with you?

After tonight, you'll see a whole new me.

You must have a very bad drinking habit.

Let me say this again,

I have no interest whatsover in you.

Where are you going? You followed me here.

Come with me.

What are you doing? I don't want to go!

I'm not such an easy guy!

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

She's not a woman. She's a man! A man!

What happened to your face?

Stop what you're doing right this moment!

It's all because you prepared the memorial service that way.

We're divorced.

I'm not sure if there is such a rule like that, sir.

So you're mocking customers this way, huh?

Leave now!

I'm leaving! Leaving.

The rumors were true.

Only if you were not a woman!
