(Durian's Affair)

(All characters, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious.)

(Animals were filmed according to guidelines.)

He looks familiar.

Welcome.

Please, sit.

Dad, will you have tea?

No.

I'll let you chat for a while.

Can I put my star son to work?

I'm just a son at home.

Your presence brightens the house.

I apologize...

for coming by empty-handed.

You're the first female guests my son has brought home.

My wife will be home soon.

Our housekeeper has the weekend off.

Would you like to take a look around while tea is being served?

Deung Myung's home.

Our house has two floors.

I saw him somewhere. Was he an overseer?

It is fine. Watch your step.

Hey, you came by?

Who was home?

The women wearing hanboks?

Yes, I brought them to my place.

What for?

Just because. Our housekeeper's off,

so I was going to see if I could take Ohyiji.

You must be busy. Do you have time for Ohyiji?

I think my parents are in a cold war.

Seeing Ohyiji would cheer them up.

Is it serious?

No, I just sense something is off.

Your mother won't like having guests over the weekend.

It's better than being awkward around Dad.

I'd love just seeing my sweet son's face.

Help them sort it out.

I will. Bye.

Bye.

They're at Deung Myung's.

They have some nerve.

Why would they go with someone they barely know?

Don't suspect people outright.

It's not outright.

I didn't think they'd go with him when they only met yesterday.

Shall I prepare lunch?

Yes.

Deung Myung's a good kid in many ways.

He's warmhearted too.

They're Deung Myung's guests.

They must be your fans.

No, they're staying at Uncle Chi Gam's for a while.

Oh, really?

I thought you should know.

I wonder if they got to him because Deung Myung was too naive.

He's not cluelessly naive.

By the way, are you free for lunch tomorrow?

A nice Peking duck place opened in Cheongdam-dong.

- Hello? - Is it Mother's command?

She wants you to talk to me.

Leave it. I had Peking duck so often,

I'm not interested.

Okay.

But...

The pervert.

I hate her.

How's my son in real life?

He's handsome.

Unlike me.

You have a good face yourself.

Do you read faces?

I only know the basics.

How's mine?

You have a clear, mellow look.

You flatter me.

Are you shamanists?

I apologize.

You have a unique aura.

And the hanbok suits you so well.

I have lost my memory.

I know not the cause.

I hope you understand.

I see.

Don't force yourself to remember.

If you have any questions about our son...

He's our son,

but we can't spend much time together either.

- Why not? - He's busy.

Acting is a tough job.

Do you not know him? Dan Deung Myung?

Did you give him that name?

My grandfather did.

I'm not that well-known.

Oh, it's on.

("Iron Mask Prince")

It has been a while. Why didn't you call?

I just dropped by.

(To be continued)

Come and eat.

It's a late lunch. You must be hungry.

I didn't prepare much. Just fried rice.

Not at all. This is a great meal.

Even I think I'm not that great at acting.

"Acting?"

Then are you a clown?

Many years ago, actors were called clowns.

We don't discriminate against jobs anymore.

However much times have changed,

how could...

How could my husband of all people,

be a clown?

Younger people consider it a dream job.

Lots of them adore celebrities and want to be one.

They look like they'd be the ones to be actors.

Let's eat before the food gets cold.

Is it too salty?

No.

It is well-seasoned.

What do I call you? What's your name?

I am So Jeo,

Kim So Jeo.

How old are you?

I know I shouldn't ask a young lady her age.

I was born in the Year of the Ox.

- Were you Year of the Rat? - Was I?

When you gave birth,

did you not have a hard labor?

I had a cesarean.

I was a breech baby.

Was that the only bad thing I did?

"A cesarean?"

You were a good boy even before birth.

You let me skip labor.

May I ask why...

- you chose to act? - For fun.

And the experience.

Don't tell anyone else.

The entertainment people just wouldn't leave him alone.

He'll learn business in time.

Don't my parents make a great couple?

What does "couple" mean?

I am envious.

You are my Eon's parents.

Where's your husband?

Was that rude of me?

He crossed over before I did.

Oh, dear.

I was not in my right mind since then,

and now here I am.

Tell us if there's anything we can do to help.

Just the offer...

is greatly appreciated.

Are they unknown period drama actors?

They can't be time travelers.

She could be a good partner for him.

- What? - Oh, dear.

Why you! Come here!

You darn dog.

Let go.

It is still cold outside.

You are underdressed.

It is colder here.

Our daughter-in-law.

Yes.

- Where is Il Soo? - Getting treated.

You are fated to have a son.

By the way,

your mother sent...

Sit.

Is your treatment done already?

Did the physician leave?

What's wrong?

It is nothing.

Every now and then, I...

Do you have a weak heart?

I was too much of a nuisance today.

- No. - Are you leaving?

- Yes. - Call a cab.

I'm going out anyway.

Then I'll go.

Eun Sung wants to talk.

She's young and pretty.

She'll grab the attention of many men.

Mom, don't you have lots of gomusin you don't wear?

I do. That was on my mind.

Were you at Gahoe-dong?

Yes.

I get upset when you leave like that.

Now that you're getting older,

you're acting out of character.

I am.

Did you have ramyeon for breakfast?

- Yes. - I should...

throw out all the junk food one day.

Don't you know it's bad luck to throw out food?

Junk food is food too.

You're a dad.

Ohyiji's dad.

Goodness.

Am I a dog too, then?

Dogs, humans, beasts. I can tell the difference.

That's what the monk said last time.

We need to throw away our discrimination first.

Like I said before,

show compassion.

You're a bit mean just to animals.

Were you bitten as a child?

- No. - Why, then?

We could all be happy if just you were to come round.

Are you unhappy?

I'm saying we could enjoy life a bit more.

- What about my happiness? - It depends on how you think.

Say you're on a battlefield...

and all your comrades got wiped out.

You're alone on a field that reeks of blood and smoke,

and a dog suddenly appears. Wouldn't you feel overjoyed?

The dog would be so dreadfully adorable.

Buddhism's right about that.

Everything depends on your mindset.

It's all in your mind.

Even if you cover Ohyiji with a blanket,

she kicks it off...

and shudders.

Dress her in pajamas.

Think of going to bed in a sweater.

How suffocating and uncomfortable would that be?

What does a dog know?

Other dogs wear clothes just fine.

They can't express their discomfort,

and they have no arms to undress with.

Think from their perspective.

You reap what you sow.

The more love you give, the happier you are,

and you get blessed.

We read about dogs that save their owners from danger.

Some dogs even save people's lives.

Ohyiji could've been our child in our past lives.

So what?

You want her to share our bed?

Under the same covers?

You, a clean freak?

I wash her so thoroughly.

I bet Ohyiji's cleaner than most people.

I brush her teeth every day too.

Don't you know I'm perfect in every way?

Whatever the topic,

you feel and understand as much as you know.

You're negative whenever it comes to dogs.

You reject furry animals,

but humans have unlimited desires.

You give one, they want two.

If you give three, they want four.

Like you.

All dogs want is food and attention.

They don't expect to be fussed over all day long.

How pleased is Ohyiji to see you when you're home?

Get over the prejudice that she's a dog...

and make eye contact with no other intentions.

See how sweet she is, and how pitiful she is.

I talk to her every day...

that she should be reborn as a person.

You believe in life after death?

If you look at various articles,

there is a lot of evidence of reincarnation.

We probably met again because we loved each other...

in our previous lives.

You're Ohyiji's dad.

Our housekeeper will mock us.

People on TV call themselves dog moms and dads.

If you harass animals,

you get criticized these days.

Times have changed.

Honey.

I'll make it up to you.

To me, you're number one.

Ohyiji's number two.

Okay.

Let's eat.

My gosh. It's so nice that it's just the two of us.

- Is there no rice? - I told her to make tangsuyuk.

You had ramyeon earlier, so you should eat a nutritious meal.

There's japchae too.

Would you like some durian for dessert?

No, we'll have some mango.

They're clearly not all there.

How could her name be "Du Ri An?"

The daughter-in-law is So Jeo, and the mother-in-law is Du Ri An.

We don't even know for sure if she really is her mother-in-law.

We need to find out who they really are.

Do you want to get a deep-tissue massage after lunch?

How could the relationships get tangled up like this?

How could this be?

Eon's maternal great-grandfather is his father in this lifetime?

His daughter is his mother in this lifetime?

Her father is now her son?

- Is everything okay? - Yes.

Are you with her now? Se Mi.

No, she went out.

She's a busy bee. Where did she go?

Turns out, it wasn't a drunk joke.

She said she really meant it.

She must be going senile before her mother-in-law does.

Don't hit her or anything like that while arguing with her about it.

Although I know it's ridiculous.

Why would I hit her?

She acts as though she's asking for a beating.

They say marrying the wrong person could destroy your family.

But I can't tell you to divorce her and kick her out now.

She'll get tired and give up eventually.

Don't mind her.

Everyone has their own life to live anyway.

Okay.

I'd hate to see someone call you "honey."

Do you only watch historical dramas about royal families?

Deung Myung, I really would hate to see someone call you "honey."

Isn't it better than kissing scenes?

It sounds too affectionate.

Your word choice is so important, you know.

You think so?

It's not real though.

Please? It's my first time asking you for a favor.

For Halloween two years ago, I dressed up as a vampire...

even though I wanted to dress up as the Joker.

You see, I always listen to you.

Right, so listen to me this time too.

- Just call me "hey." - Then what?

Are you going to hit me?

- No, I won't hit you. - Then what? Will you beat me up?

I might bite you.

Will you talk down to me if I call you "hey?"

I see that you don't trust me at all.

I like being respectful and considerate.

I'm the one who's been considerate of you.

- Yes, of course. - What do you mean?

You're considerate because I treated you with good manners.

"Manners?"

Even when I was little,

people always said I looked like I had an old man living inside me.

- Is that a good thing? - You think it's a bad thing?

Rudeness is bad.

Some men belittle their women in front of others, you know.

- Right. - I'm embarrassed for them.

They're showing everyone their true personality.

I'll always respect my woman.

I want to be loved, not respected.

Respect is good,

but wouldn't you want to be treated sweetly?

Respect is sweet.

What? Do you think you're being sweet to me now?

You don't think so?

Do you know what "sweet" means?

I guess we think differently.

What does it mean?

Forget it.

Forget what?

Ms. Lee went to get a deep-tissue massage.

Mr. Dan is here though.

Hello.

Eun Sung went to get a deep-tissue massage?

- Yes. - I'll be off, then.

Would you like some tea?

I had some at home.

Se Mi.

What brings you here? Deung Myung went out.

An agency CEO I know lives on the eighth floor here.

I see.

I believe I've never met them before.

I met them for the first time today too.

Go do your thing, then.

Is Chi Kang at home now?

Yes.

(Nam)

Hey.

Why did you take so long to pick up?

My phone was in the car.

Who were those women you were with earlier?

They sure looked weird, didn't they?

Is she a rookie I don't know about? The younger one.

It's a long story.

Give me her number.

Do you want to cast her in a role?

I want to meet her first.

She's not a rookie actress. She's a nobody.

That's how everyone starts out.

Gosh, it's a long story. I'm driving now.

You can ask Deung Myung.

Hello.

Yes, hello.

Are you about to leave?

Yes.

I'd like to buy you lunch if you're not busy.

I should treat you to lunch.

Then I'll buy you dessert.

Lucky you.

Top of the line!

It's very expensive to get these custom-made.

These hanbok dresses.

- Ma'am. - Yes!

Mother.

Why were you so surprised earlier? You seemed quite flustered.

It is nothing.

Was it because of Eon's father?

Is he also someone from the past life?

I just thought he looked familiar.

Anyway, I feel relieved now.

They both seemed kind.

But...

an actor? A clown?

I cannot believe that is what my husband does.

"Husband?" Again?

I do not know what else to call him.

You could call him Mister Actor.

Like governors and magistrates,

that is his job.

Mr. Dan would like to speak with you.

What if he kicks us out?

Then what should we do?

There is always a way out...

no matter how difficult the situation may seem.

Shall we go back to the pond and return to the past?

Take a seat.

Here.

I thought you might need it.

Thank you.

But where did you get this precious thing?

It's my grandmother's keepsake.

- Your paternal grandmother? - Yes.

It was handed down to her from my great-grandmother.

They both wore their hair in a chignon all their lives.

Actually, my daughter-in-law...

asked your nephew earlier if she could get a binyeo.

Your daughter-in-law...

is very young.

These days, even some people in their 30s...

talk like they're still kids.

If she wears her hair in a chignon, people might stare at her.

Drawing attention like that won't do her any good.

What you're wearing is okay in Samcheong-dong and Hyoja-dong.

Many people dress in hanbok there...

to visit old palaces and take photos.

What kind of life did she have?

Your grandmother.

My parents were both busy,

so she practically raised me and my two brothers.

That's why we haven't sold her house yet.

I visit her house from time to time. When I'm there, I feel calm.

My grandmother and I shared many fond memories.

So he does not remember me at all?

It is a cherished keepsake.

I am not sure if it is okay for me to accept this.

It's much better than being kept in an empty house.

It's more meaningful if someone could use it.

Then I shall accept it with a grateful heart.

From her demeanor to the way she talks,

she really looks like a woman from a noble family in the old days.

Is there anything else you need?

There are probably lots of things.

I do not need things,

but I wish to study.

I want to.

Both my daughter-in-law and I know nothing.

We should learn how to do things...

so that we can repay you for your kindness.

You do not need to repay us.

You're both young, so you'll learn things quickly.

I will never forget your kindness.

We should all help each other out whenever we can.

I feel like I'm the guest here,

and you're the house owner.

- What is it? - A binyeo.

I went to Gahoe-dong.

Let me see.

It's my grandmother's.

- Her keepsake? - Why just keep it and not use it?

Use it. It'll suit you.

I will put it to good use.

Try it on.

I will put it on properly tomorrow.

How could you be so considerate and affectionate?

"Affectionate?" What do you mean?

Are you her husband or something?

I can't believe you gave her the binyeo.

It's not like I bought it.

It's a lot more meaningful than something you buy.

It's your grandmother's keepsake.

Something she wore in her hair her whole life.

Even if I hold onto it...

You can't even get rid of her stuff.

You can't even sell your grandmother's house...

because you loved her so much.

Such a precious binyeo...

You don't need it.

When you see her chignon bun,

you'll keep being reminded of your grandmother.

The jewelry pieces my mother gave you.

You got rid of them all, saying they were out of fashion.

You accepted them when you'd never wear them.

Because she gave them to me.

I would have to sell them eventually anyway.

It's not like I have a child to hand them down to.

It's not a gold binyeo.

You shouldn't give her anything.

After all, she's a stranger who's here to freeload off us.

She's not a freeloader.

She's staying here for free, and we feed them.

What would she think?

"This man likes me."

Stop talking nonsense.

Human beings are the masters of delusion.

Why give her the wrong impression?

Go and tell her to give it back if it bothers you that much.

Why should I?

You tell her to give it back.

Don't make me the bad one here.

You should've asked me about it beforehand.

Is it your keepsake?

It is my grandmother's binyeo.

When we were talking and eating together earlier,

did you mention anything about giving her this binyeo?

You gave it to her in secret when I wasn't home.

Must I get your permission on things like this too?

Of course, you must.

This silver binyeo is useless to us.

It is my grandmother's binyeo,

so I have the right to give it to someone who needs it.

Don't try to justify it like that.

I am not trying to justify it.

Why are you so on edge? This is very unlike you.

It's not like I gave her some jewelry.

Tell them to leave at once.

- Why? - I hate this. This situation.

It means you thought of her.

I know your work always keeps you very busy.

But you thought, "A binyeo would suit her."

"That's right. I have Grandma's binyeo."

"I should give it to her."

Then you nitpicked what I said...

and went all the way to Gahoe-dong without even having breakfast.

Talking about blowing things out of proportion.

You really are being unreasonable.

Fine, I'll stop.

Tell them to leave.

And go where? Are you saying we should just kick them out?

That's none of our business.

We've done enough.

We even gave them nutritional injections.

It's been three days.

Then we should've taken them to the police or a hospital right away.

They only woke up yesterday afternoon,

so it's only been a day. And they have nowhere to go.

Hi, Eun Sung.

Can you come and pick up these women?

Sure.

Where are you? Can you come over now?

I'm not far away.

Okay.

Take a seat.

Go and stay with my mother-in-law.

My brother-in-law will be here shortly to pick you up.

Go pack your things.

We've done more than enough to take care of you.

I understand.

I must say goodbye to them now that I have gotten to know them a bit.

Ms. Lee told...

the "Korean Ghost Stories" women to leave.

What must we do now, Mother?

Have we done something wrong?

But we have not done a thing wrong. We were going to be useful here too.

There is nothing we can do.

You were furious about the housekeeper...

giving them your hairband. So I felt bad.

Would you feel good if people took your stuff without asking?

That's not right.

Those hairbands don't cost much.

It has nothing to do with the price.

Even if it's 1 dollar or 10 cents, they can't have mine.

Why are you standing up for them?

You yelled at the housekeeper...

for giving away your hairbands in front of them.

How would they have felt?

Everyone has pride.

Do you care more...

about their feelings than mine? Are their feelings more important?

You're worried in case they get injured or hurt.

You treasured your grandmother's keepsake.

Did you get your mother's approval?

You kept it, so you could think about your grandmother.

Let's stop fighting.

How could I beat that silver tongue of yours?

I'm not persuading. I'm only pointing out the facts.

I thought you didn't want to discriminate.

Just because she gave away yours...

Since the first time I met you at Daehyun Hotel,

I had never seen you put your hair up.

If the housekeeper had given away things I never used,

I would have complimented her.

Our housekeeper is much older than you.

You scold her in front of her like a spoiled kid.

- A spoiled kid? - Do only your feelings matter?

From time to time, I wonder...

Go on.

I wish...

you could show other people...

one-tenth of the generosity you show to your dog.

Even the king...

cannot solve poverty.

Do you think this is about solving poverty?

I'm back.

Hello.

It's uncomfortable for us to have them around the house.

I understand.

They have gotten more stuff in a day.

My car is out in the front.

I appreciate the gesture, but I cannot accept it.

Just take it.

It's my grandmother's keepsake, but I can't throw it out.

It has no use in my house.

Does Mom know about this?

Yes.

Let's go.

We have only inconvenienced you.

I am sorry for everything.

I'll get going.

Let me.

No.

Men are supposed to carry this.

Those are beautiful shoes.

My...

Mr. Dan Deung Myung's mother gave them to us,

as well as the clothes.

You have grown on me already.

I'm sad that you're leaving.

Thank you for everything.

I know that we have been a hassle.

That's part of life.

Please come by on your day off.

Sure.

My house will be more comfortable. It's more spacious.

Hello.

Gosh, sir.

Yes.

Who taught you how to swim?

Mr. Lee Tae Kang. He's the coach.

Having a strong foundation is very important in sports too.

Can I call you by your name?

I heard that you were going out...

with the CEO of Bidang Country.

Is that true?

I also heard that...

you and Deung Myung were engaged to marry ever since you were kids.

Perhaps...

I'm seeing his family on Wednesday.

Gosh. Deung Myung didn't tell me about that.

He told his family Friday night about the meeting.

Congratulations. I mean it.

Isn't that a good enough reason for me to treat you to a meal?

Please do.

I like dim sum.

Let's set a date.

I thought I was getting two new assistants.

Not in this life.

Do you feel clean now?

She can't stand having people around her,

but she adores that dog.

Make some noodles.

Noodles?

Yes.

Homemade noodles are tasty.

Add more than one garnish.

- Okay? - Okay.

They seemed to learn quickly as long as I taught them properly.

This is a small family.

I don't need more housekeepers.

Try cleaning this big house on your own.

She doesn't lift a finger unless she has to eat,

lounge around, put on makeup, or pat her dog.

- I was taking a lesson. - We need to meet.

- Do you have dinner plans? - No.

You know the Korean restaurant, Hyehwan, right?

Yes.

Make yourselves at home and use separate rooms.

It is all right.

We have a lot of vacant rooms.

We are used to sharing a room.

We have durians, right?

We ran out.

Buy some durians. They like them.

It is all right.

Please do not mind us.

We have kiwis and strawberries.

What kind of fruit is a kiwi?

I wonder how they taste.

We are truly fine.

Put them in the guest room.

No, I can do that.

Eun Sung must have been upset...

because my brother gave you the binyeo.

In life, we're bound to hear some uncomfortable comments...

and experience disappointing moments.

How should I address you?

I can't just call you "hey."

Please talk comfortably.

I will do as you say, sir.

No.

This is a busy world. Let's keep it short.

If you're too polite, it makes me uncomfortable.

My name is Dan Chi Jung.

I think you may be younger than me.

Mom?

How's your headache? Are you feeling better?

Yes.

You'll be more comfortable in the guest room, right?

Who was the lady in the hanbok?

She caught my eye...

when I went over to your house.

- I didn't know she was your type. - The character, Choi Yi Young.

She's perfect for it.

We can give her acting lessons.

We'll take the set.

What's her name?

It's Kim So Jeo.

I thought she wasn't from this industry.

- The regular set? Or the royal set? - The regular set, please.

Would you like two regular sets?

There are two of us here. Isn't it obvious?

Do you think we'd order three sets?

Did that ever happen before? Two people ordering three servings?

Even her name sounds like an actress in a period drama.

She has no idea about this industry, and it's not possible.

Nothing is impossible in life.

If she says no, I'll make it work.

Not anyone can be an actor because they want to.

I thought Min Soo Ji got the script.

- Did she say no? - She's looking it over now.

She has the image the writer was looking for.

Even from afar, I know she'd be perfect for this role.

Why do you keep shaking your head?

What's your relationship with her?

Both sisters were very good-looking.

- They are sisters, right? - No.

If what they say is true,

she's married.

Honey!

Honey.

Then what?

I'll tell you once I know for sure.

They're staying with my uncle.

But I don't know who they are.

My family didn't tell me the details.

Are they from abroad?

Anyway, just go with Min Soo Ji.

She won't say no because it's a great role.

The writer said that she was missing something, and I agree.

It's hard to find the perfect person for every role.

But you're the perfect person for Master Jung.

Anyway, let me meet with her tomorrow.

I'll talk to her in person.

You can at least do that for me.

She has amnesia.

Amnesia? What shocked her?

Who knows?

Is she your new girlfriend?

And is Ayla just a close friend of yours?

I'm hungry.

Do you really think everyone can be actresses?

Besides, it's the lead role.

Did you major in acting?

You were clueless about acting. But you're good now.

Just trust me, and forget about her.

You're wasting your time. You're so busy nowadays.

I'm using my precious time to find the right actress.

This must be a hit, no matter what.

My career will take a huge hit if I don't get good ratings.

I'll lose my job.

A director who studied abroad shouldn't worry about that.

Having one flop on your filmography won't kill your career.

Min Soo Ji and I will make sure...

that you still have a strong career after this drama.

Are you saying no to your director?

Come on.

Talking to her isn't easy either.

I will be the judge of that.

Maybe, I'll see eye to eye with her even if you don't.

Do you think I'm just an old guy without any experience?

It would've been great if I had met her today.

Then tomorrow. Okay?

I'll ask her first.

Call her and put me on the phone.

- She doesn't have a phone. - Come on.

Is she some Hollywood star? Why are you shutting me down?

- Call your uncle. - Come on. You only saw her briefly.

I've got sharp eyes.

I always hit home when I cast people.

That's why I keep getting older. I'm too invested in my job.

- What's this? - This is tarak porridge.

Will this porridge make me berserk?

If I were to make that joke, it would be lame, right?

May I ask how old you are?

Ask for mine instead.

Guess my age.

I'm not good at guessing men's age.

Women are precise when it comes to guessing men's age.

And they always lower the age by a few years on purpose.

Are you 34 or 35?

That must mean that you think I'm close to 40.

Thank you.

That's your tip.

You're past 40?

Yes, although I don't want to admit it.

Oh, my.

There are treatments, you know.

Not just "treats."

Call her.

Give us a bottle of soju.

(Airplane mode off)

They went to Chi Jung's house.

Why? You didn't send them away, right?

No.

Did Uncle Chi Jung want to take them?

Let's talk later. Or you can talk to him yourself.

Was Eun Sung...

uncomfortable with them in the house?

I wouldn't use that word, per se.

Let's eat.

Okay. Have a good evening then.

Okay.

I was spot on, right?

Seriously. Eun Sung can be heartless at times.

She's docile as a lamb only to you.

How could she kick them out after a day?

I felt so awful when I saw their faces.

I wouldn't defend them if it was a gold binyeo.

Are you sure it was because of the binyeo?

That's it.

When she handed back the binyeo to Chi Gam for Eun Sung to see,

Chi Gam told her to keep it...

and no one would use it at his house.

She always had her way growing up. So she's not considerate of others.

So did we.

You should try to be nice to them at least.

Are you saying I should wait on them and entertain them?

Just be nice to them. Show them some warmth.

Mom, everyone knows you have a big heart.

You told me I was charismatic the other day.

You're charismatic and good-natured.

No one can be as generous as you. I haven't seen anyone like you.

Will you tell them to eat separately?

You want me to eat at the same table as them?

We don't even know them. They are strangers to us.

The world has changed, Mom.

They're still guests at our house.

Don't be so over-the-top.

I would also be uncomfortable if I were them.

Why?

We should eat together and get to know them quickly.

For whom?

For Chairwoman Baek Do Yi.

You should check...

if they can be useful to you or are smart enough.

Not everyone can be your secretary.

You know that Jews educate...

My son, I have a favor to ask.

- Okay. - On your honeymoon...

Are you sure Ko Woo Mi likes you?

Are you sure she's on board with this wedding?

Gosh. I only act silly in front of you, Mom.

I'm quite serious when I go out.

You know what you always say? Food builds attachment?

Now that I'm getting older and have met enough people,

I can't overlook how food can bring people together.

A well-taught secretary can replace ten children.

Your sons will leave soon.

Your brothers are still in my life.

Chi Gam too. He's not the same guy anymore.

He can no longer push forward with what he wants.

The power dynamics tipped over to Eun Sung's side.

He's just letting her have control because he's a bigger man.

He doesn't let minor things bother him.

He must have a lot on his mind with work.

Just take your father for example. Whether I built houses, sold them,

built hanok houses,

or redid the swimming pool,

he didn't complain at all.

Besides, secretaries may act like they're docile as a lamb.

But they are loyal to you because of your money.

Their loyalty isn't sincere.

There are exceptions.

Based on their character and nature...

Gosh, okay. They can join us.

They'll say no.

It was too quiet in the house with just the two of us.

Not at all.

You were always chatty. How could it have been quiet?

It's my way of being a dutiful son.

They moved, and no one is picking up.

- I thought she didn't have a phone. - My uncle.

They went to my grandma's.

So Baek Oh Yi... Wait. I said Oh Yi.

Baek Oh Yi is actually a name.

- They went to Chairwoman Baek's. - Yes.

I heard she had a gathering for her 70th birthday the other day.

I wasn't invited, though.

A party. She doesn't like calling them gatherings.

You don't like being invited.

- You don't like family events. - That's not the same thing.

Se Mi and I are just cousins, but it is her mother-in-law.

I should visit to say hello.

Did you like her that much?

I told you so.

There aren't many people with faces fit for period dramas nowadays.

As you know, everyone had plastic surgery...

and look like dolls or AI.

That's why the writer isn't satisfied with Min Soo Ji.

She has a Western face.

Her facial features are pretty when you look at them one by one,

but she doesn't have an Asian vibe.

Also, her shoulders were square when wearing a hanbok.

Viewers nowadays don't care about that kind of thing.

They don't care if it doesn't make much sense as long as it's fun.

Go ahead and eat. It must've gotten cold.

You need to eat your food. Throwing it away makes you unlucky.

What? My female friends say I'm like an old lady.

Whether I'm an old lady or a man, I just hope the drama goes well.

It will.

Not even ghosts can predict ratings.

The script is good, so you just have to do well.

Gosh. Why aren't they bringing the drinks?

We can just eat in the kitchen.

Keeping distance is uncomfortable when we're living together.

Besides, you're all women.

Mother asked to eat together.

What was Dol Soe's...

last meal?

Beans with soy sauce, kimchi,

chicken soup, and persimmon punch.

He had a nice, fatty meal before he left.

Did he eat everything?

Yes. Even the large bowl of rice.

Did Mother direct...

the food preparations that day?

Yes.

She said he must've been hungry because he had come a long way.

I told you to make the chicken stir fry less sweet.

Is it sweet again?

I added less sugar.

You aren't 60 yet.

They say a woman's skills are taken away...

when they turn 60.

I can speak casually to you, right?

Of course, madam.

I like your attitude.

You're polite and know how to treat your elders.

Are you interested in staying in my house?

Do you want to?

I know it is shameless of us,

but if you pity us and are willing to take us in...

We must stay in this family no matter what.

That way...

We must check your identities. We can't let just anyone in.

You don't even know your resident number.

What is a resident number?

Since you say you lost your memory, I'll trust that...

and help you,

so go to a police station...

to get your fingerprints checked.

That way, you'll be able to find any family you may have.

If you don't want to do that, pack your things.

I understand.

It's simple if you know your resident number.

At this hour?

Is it Se Mi?

Who is it?

It's Master Deung Myung.

- Just him? - Yes.

Other than cooking,

what else do you know how to do?

If you teach us, we can do anything.

I learned how to clean.

I know how to use the laundry machine...

I mean, the washing machine.

I am pretty good at making clothes.

Oh, clothes.

- Do you mean hanbok? - Yes.

Where did you learn that?

- I just... - You didn't forget that?

I'm here, Grandma.

Leave out the honorifics.

- I'm here too, you punk. - Uncle.

What is our busy Master Deung Myung doing here so late at night?

We meet again after just a few hours.

After just a few hours?

I took them to my house in the afternoon.

I stopped by Uncle Chi Gam's place because of Ohyiji,

and they were there alone.

Then I guess they met your mom too.

Yes.

Who did you have a drink with?

Can you tell?

I didn't drink much.

Grandma has a good nose.

Director Ju Nam, Mom's cousin.

Right. The person who is directing "Master Jung?"

- Yes. - What about the casting?

They still need to cast the female lead,

but there's an unexpected situation.

There are always unexpected situations...

when making a drama.

Here. I asked my manager for a favor.

What are those?

Binyeo.

Gosh. The men in the Dan family...

are busy buying binyeo.

Chi Gam gave her Grandma's.

I received one.

Thank you.

You shouldn't wear that.

You're too young to tie up your hair like that.

Are you interested in working?

Whatever you ask.

You must be thirsty, Deung Myung.

Bring him something to drink.

You didn't even ask what he wanted to drink.

Since he drank juice last time...

The time before that, he drank espresso.

- Just some water with ice, please. - Yes, sir.

How could he drink with his young nephew?

In old times, he would be married at this age.

Director Ju Nam is very stressed.

Earning money isn't easy.

What about actors?

Do you know how much I worry about you...

when you have to film on a hot or cold day?

You're the best, Grandma.

Gosh. Time goes by so fast.

It feels like just yesterday that you were crawling around.

When did you get so big?

That means I've aged so much.

What a thing to say in front of your old mother.

You perfectly restored your youth.

This house is probably the safest in all of Korea.

Did you come by to give them that?

What about your love?

You're my one and only grandson.

Aren't you hungry? Should I ask her to grill some meat?

It's okay.

You should really feel lucky.

Grandma is very kind and loving.

She is the person that caused your father's death.

Such a scary person.

Stay for the night.

- I didn't bring clothes. - What about mine?

- Do they not fit? - I have to leave early.

I have a photo shoot tomorrow.

Stop after "Master Jung."

If you get too into acting...

He's right. You also need to graduate.

There's a right time for studying.

Don't worry about me.

Sleep well in your bedchamber, Grandmother.

What's with the bedchamber and salute?

Why not just bow?

Oh, it's okay.

I will leave after my evening bow.

Well, then.

- Your manager is here, right? - Yes.

I am...

so grateful.

Grandma is right.

Don't do it.

I like how you look now.

I'm suddenly feeling so drunk.

I do not know whether this is a dream or reality, Mother.

Is this not jade?

It is jade.

You only wear this at weddings...

unless you are the queen.

He kept his promise right away.

Could it be...

that he feels something, Mother?

A manager must be someone that looks after him.

It must be a man, right?

I am sure.

I am not completely happy that he is a clown,

but seeing him healthy in front of our eyes is enough.

Yes, Mother.

I think I must call him Master Deung Myung now.

I am not sure what I should call him.

I do not know if there will be any reason for me to call him.

Anyway, Eon has gotten so handsome...

that it cannot be expressed in writing.

I am thinking of sleeping with it.

You might break it.

I am sure jade would not break.

The only thing that does not break is a person's heart.

Thanks to our unstoppable feelings,

this miracle happened.

I am so happy, Mother.

Happiness and gratitude.

Let us always remember and not forget.

We will...

certainly face unimaginable hardship and struggle.

Like today.

Who knew we would be kicked out unexpectedly?

You are right.

We must never be arrogant in any situation.

We must always be humble.

Acting like madams and ladies in this changed world...

could easily get us into trouble.

Even though you are saying so,

I know it is difficult for you.

Earlier at Ohyiji's house,

I felt so hurt and sad.

I could understand.

Did you also feel...

like we were being thrown out?

Watch what you say.

What would it feel like?

(Durian's Affair)

Did you meet Director Ju Nam?

I heard you were in-laws.

Okay. Ready. Action!

Why are you coming out of there?

You have the exact face that I want.

Would you take mine off first?

I feel embarrassed.

You are even provoking me.

- Hey. - Yes?

Did you always have such a nice voice?

His family, his looks, and appropriate age for marriage...

He must be engaged to someone.

That was excellent timing.

Our telepathy worked.

The man who gets to marry you is very lucky.

How horrible.

I tied my hair up with the binyeo you gave me.

What kind of person was your husband?

Il Soo.

Please eat.

They must've been hurt.

Please look after them.

They'll get fingerprint scans for a background check today.

If there are no issues...

It will not hurt, right?

Here. Your thumbs first.

Ms. Kim called.

Their fingerprints are not in the system.

They're not in the system?

Mother. It is Mister Dan.

How are your fingerprints not registered?

Are you from outer space?

Are you okay?
