Original subtitles

-Mom. -You idiot.

Mom, let's talk it out. Don't resort to violence.

That could become a habit!

-How dare you? -Mom.

-What? -What?

-You… -What?

You…

-Mom, we're here. -Mother, we're--

What?

Da-hee. What are you doing here?

Na-hee.

Why are you here, and what's with the apron?

Na-hee, I was going to tell you…

Your sister

is working part-time here in the evenings.

-Sorry? -I needed extra help.

She was looking for a job. Isn't it good to help each other?

I have a reliable employee, and your sister has a safe place to work.

Hold on a second.

So she's my in-law?

Na-hee's real sister? Her biological sister?

Would she be a fake sister, then?

You met her at the wedding.

We should talk.

But…

Da-hee…

Right!

Now I remember.

-Quit this instant. -What?

Quit working at this cafe.

-Why? -Must you ask?

There are other places to work.

You can keep searching for a job, so why here of all places?

-Think about how uncomfortable I'll be. -I'll make sure you won't be.

I know what you're worried about,

but I'm going to work hard and always stay on her good side.

Na-hee, please. It's close to home and my academy,

and the hourly rate is higher than other places.

Mom already approved.

Mom approved?

Yes, so just let it slide.

I'll do a good job.

You working hard isn't the issue.

I just hate the fact that you're working here.

Things are already…

Just quit, okay?

I'll pay for your classes if you need the money,

so focus solely on your studies instead.

You're really good at killing my spirits.

Don't you understand why I'm working a part-time job

and studying to go back to college?

I want to achieve something myself without your help or dad's.

I don't want to be a shameless person.

So just let me do this job, okay?

Please.

Da-hee, still…

Can you stop glaring at me?

Your eyes look like they're going to pop out.

He's right, Mom.

Calm yourself down, and stop glaring at him like that.

Getting mad will only elevate your blood pressure.

It's dangerous considering your age.

How sweet of you to think of me!

How considerate!

So, why have you been hiding from me after returning to Korea?

You're his big brother, but instead of telling him off,

you joined in on his lie and deceived your mom.

Mom, please. You're taking it too far.

He's right. You're overreacting. I wasn't going to lie to you forever.

I was going to enjoy some freedom before showing up in front of you

and saying, "Surprise!"

Surprise me, my foot!

You jerks.

Is this what I get for worrying about my sons?

My blood pressure is rising.

Na-hee, you're just as bad.

These two have always been clueless, but I didn't think you'd deceive me too.

Shouldn't you of all people have told me about him?

-Mom, why are you taking it out on her? -Na-hee didn't do anything wrong.

Mother, I apologize for not telling you.

But you should get another part-timer.

It'll be hard for my sister to work for an in-law

and your relationship with my mom will make things uncomfortable.

It won't.

I'm fine. It's not uncomfortable.

Sorry?

Your sister has been doing a great job,

and she's nice to the customers,

unlike her own sister.

Your mother already approved too, so there's nothing more to talk about.

Not telling me about him is one thing, but why don't you ever pick up?

Are you always that busy?

You're not the only doctor in this family. Both of my sons are doctors too!

You always boast about graduating at the top of your class,

but Jae-seok received top grades once.

-Aren't I right? -You are.

-Right? -Yes.

I raised my sons as doctors without any hitches either,

so why are you looking down on me?

-Are you not going to stop this? -Stop what?

I'm talking about Da-hee.

Things between us are complicated enough.

I don't get why your mother insisted on hiring Da-hee.

It doesn't make any sense!

Since when did you try to understand my mom anyway?

It's nothing new.

I'm not looking for an argument.

We're divorced, but our parents don't know.

-Doesn't it bother you? -Whatever.

If you're that bothered, talk to my mom yourself.

She's someone I can't persuade.

Are you kidding me?

No, I'm not kidding. When did I ever kid around?

You're being childish.

Right, I'm childish,

and you're selfish.

What?

Our divorce is our problem, right?

Just like you said, our families don't know.

You can't tell Da-hee not to work there just because it makes you uncomfortable.

That's extremely selfish. Da-hee did nothing wrong.

You're considerate at times like this.

We're never on the same page.

Yes, exactly. No wonder we got divorced.

Yes, I guess you're right.

Me being uncomfortable is my issue, so I'll deal with that myself.

But your mom is your issue, so deal with her.

Okay, got it. What about your mother though?

Do you think you'll never have to ask me for a favor?

I can deal with my mom just fine.

She thinks she's above everyone.

The truth is,

my marriage was annulled on the day of the wedding.

I won't say why because that's private.

But then today, I even lost my job.

Don't you think life is crazy?

What on earth did I say to my in-law?

How stupid of me.

Why didn't I remember him?

I greeted him at Na-hee's wedding.

Gosh, this is embarrassing!

It's my useless brain's fault.

Why bother bringing it around with me?

Why?

She was Na-hee's sister?

No wonder she seemed familiar.

Could I be losing my touch?

I never forget a girl's face.

Anyway, what an interesting coincidence.

My gosh!

Mom, at least knock. Where are your manners?

Manners, my foot. You're unbelievable.

Who are you to speak about manners?

You imbecile!

What do you want to eat?

We can argue some more later, but you should have dinner first.

It's all right, Mom. I'm not hungry.

I'm good.

As if you are, you jerk.

Take your pick already. Steak or salmon?

If I had known, I would've gone grocery shopping.

You brat.

You're making me cook without any preparation.

Mom, really, I'm good.

I had a sandwich, so I'm not hungry.

Shut it. As if a sandwich can keep you full.

Anyway, get changed. I'll whip something up.

I have to cook for my grown-up son at this age.

What a hard time I'll have.

My goodness. Unbelievable.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Looking good.

Where's the frying pan?

I put it all the way up there since I never use it.

Jae-seok, can you get over here? I need your help.

Jae-seok? Please get that frying pan for me.

All right. So the meat is out,

and now for the balsamic sauce.

I'm glad I had it restocked.

My gosh.

Jae-seok, please open this for me!

My goodness.

Please open this for me.

Jae-seok?

It's nothing.

My gosh. Jae-seok.

Jae-seok, pass me the kitchen towel.

Jae-seok?

Jae-seok!

-No, I hear nothing. -Jae-seok!

Why didn't you answer me? I've been calling you.

Yes, Mom. You called?

Can you open the wine bottle for me?

I should've poured the wine into a decanter sooner.

I'm already regretting moving back in.

What on earth do I do?

It's like I'm cooking the meal myself.

He should be home by now.

I wonder how much he drank.

NOT ON MY SIDE

The person you called is unavailable.

Why isn't he answering his phone?

Yes, Mr. Yang.

Are you perhaps with my husband?

He left?

I guess he'll be home soon, then. Sure. Good night.

-My gosh. Honey! -Hello?

My wife!

You'll fall. Be careful.

Why did you drink so much?

Yes, I drank today. I drank a lot.

Ok-bun!

My gosh.

You saying that shows me just how drunk you are.

Ok-bun, there's no need to be angry.

How scary.

Goodness.

Unbelievable.

How was it?

It went really well.

You always insist on going there yourself.

Let me join you next year.

I've never met my sister-in-law, but I should at least say hello.

What if she thinks that you married some selfish woman?

What? No way!

My sister is the sweetest ever, so she'd never think that way.

It's why she put her trust in me and went to a dangerous place.

Honey, please.

Ok-bun,

I'm a little sad today.

Life couldn't be sadder.

Why have you aged so much though?

Who did this? Who made my wife age like this?

Who else could it be but you?

Get out here!

-Who was it? -Honey, be quiet!

Just wait until I catch you.

Whoever it was, show yourself!

-Honey, keep it down. -Get out here!

-Dad. Why did he drink so much? -He had a few drinks with Mr. Yang.

-Hurry up and take him. -Of course.

Dad, are you all right?

The two loafers are here.

I see you're fine.

You guys, life is hard, isn't it?

How about I give you an allowance?

Dad, it's okay.

You'll only take it back tomorrow anyway.

When did I ever do that? I'm not kidding.

I promise I won't take it back.

Gosh.

Hold on. How much should I give you?

Here you go.

Wait a second.

There you go.

-Wait, 100,000 each? -Is this for real?

Why? Isn't it enough? Do you want more?

Hold on a second. I have more.

Here. Take as much as you need!

-Dad, it's all right. -Take it all.

It's fine.

Honestly, it's fine.

Dad, isn't this a bit too much?

You're closing up the bar?

-Really? -Really?

Of course. I wouldn't joke about this.

-This is so sudden. -Are you getting married?

Gosh. I wish you'd set me up with someone.

It's just too sudden, that's all.

Are you ill, then?

I'm just sick and tired of running a bar.

Dealing with drunk jerks is annoying enough.

And the smell of alcohol is sickening.

Trying to sound cute all the time is exhausting too.

I'm thinking about moving on to another business.

Something ordinary.

What about us, then?

You two? You should go your own way.

Don't you worry.

I'll give you a good reference if you need one and give you a fat pension

if you wish to retire and head back home.

No way.

I'm coming with you.

But you don't know what I'll end up doing. Just go on your way.

I'll repay your debt once I get the deposit.

I don't want to. I'll come with you no matter what.

-So don't even try to send me away. -Me too.

-What? -I'm coming with you too.

Wherever you go, I'll be there.

Don't be silly.

There's nothing you can get from me.

That's not true.

You pay us, feed us,

and even care about us. You gave us everything.

So don't even think about abandoning us.

I'll follow you to the ends of the earth.

Gosh, you fools.

Do as you like.

Just remember I gave you a chance to get away.

Don't blame me later.

So, what are you going to do? Will you open a supermarket or something?

No, gimbap.

-Gimbap? -My goodness.

I want to run a gimbap restaurant.

If I run a restaurant, I will never starve to death.

And you guys said my gimbap was the best of all my dishes.

You said it's better than a franchise restaurant's.

Oh, right.

Gimbap.

Maybe I should make gimbap with this corn. It'll be corn gimbap.

What should we do? Don't you think we should be honest with her?

Her gimbap tastes terrible.

We can't tell her. And I'm not the one who said it was terrible.

You… Gosh, I can't believe this.

Why are things going this way?

Hey, make sure to hold out to the end this time.

Just worry about yourself.

He's coming.

-That feels good. -Did you shower already?

Gosh, you're amazing.

Sure. He's even stronger than a stuntman like me.

-Bring it back. -What?

Bring what?

The one who brings it first will get 30,000 won.

-Here, Dad. -Okay.

Gosh.

Hey, hand it over.

-Here. -Okay.

What?

There's 100,000 missing.

Who is it? Hand it over.

-It's not me. -It's not me either.

Do you want me to search you?

Do you want me to search you while you do handstands?

-Seriously, it's not me. -I swear I didn't take it.

I swear on Seo-jin.

What are you doing?

You gave them the money. Don't act so cheap.

Just have breakfast.

Go wake Ji-hun up. And you, put the soup on the table.

-Okay. -Okay.

Hang on. Just wait.

I'm sure 100,000 is missing.

I'm going to find out who took it.

If you want to eat, go buy some instant rice.

I made the steamed eggs, but your mom made this kimchi and stir-fried anchovies.

Don't act like you care.

Forget it.

Kimchi and stir-fried anchovies?

I just dug my own grave.

Fine. Take it all. I can just eat the eggs.

Darn it. What's wrong with this?

Is it broken?

Darn it! What's wrong?

Was she really top of her class at medical school?

Isn't she a fool?

Mom. I was going to call you.

About Da-hee. Will you let her work at my mother-in-law's cafe?

What can I do? They already agreed on it.

But it's so uncomfortable.

You know what Mother's like.

Just leave her be. She won't be working there for long.

By the way, we're buying new chickens today,

so I'll make chicken soup.

Stop by with Gyu-jin after work.

We can't. We're busy preparing for a conference.

Are you? Then I'll bring it to your house.

You can eat it after work.

Gosh, no. We'll stop by.

Why? You said you're busy.

We should eat anyway.

You don't have to come. We'll go there.

Will you? That's better for me.

Then why don't you stop by the store on your way here?

I should boil ten chickens. They are quite heavy.

I want to take them home in your car.

Okay. We'll do that. See you later, then.

Bye.

Why does it have to be now?

I guaranteed him that I could handle my mom.

Darn it.

What should I tell him?

Gyu-jin, I'm so tired.

I have bags under my eyes already.

Look. Can you see them?

I can't live like this.

She keeps calling me for no reason. "Jae-seok."

And then again the next moment, "Jae-seok."

I feel like I'm hearing things.

Stop overreacting. It's not like this is anything new.

It's been a long time, so I can't get used to it.

Jae-seok, what time do you get off?

It's Mom again.

She keeps messaging me. Look.

"Are you having dinner at home?"

"Should I make steamed or grilled yellow corvina?"

This is a nightmare. What should I do?

Should I go back to Turkey?

Hey, getting used to Mom would be easier than living abroad.

Gyu-jin.

You say that so easily. Whose fault do you think this is?

This is because I was covering for you and Na-hee.

Then what should I do? Do you want me to come clean

and move back in with Mom too?

-Can't you? -Do you think I could?

What should I do, then?

Mom is even more exhausting now.

Yes?

Are you two having coffee together?

Not really. I was just talking to myself.

I'll listen to you grumble as much as you want next time.

But right now, we need to plan a strategy.

A strategy?

What more do you need to plan now?

You're being so talkative. Did you not hear her?

She wants you to leave.

-Get out. -Don't be mean.

I'm very sensitive now because of Mom.

Na-hee, don't call me even if you have no one to eat with.

I'll be very cranky all day.

Move over.

Gosh.

All right. What's the matter? Go ahead and say it.

Well…

I think

we should go home today.

Home?

Whose home?

You know what I mean.

My home. Mr. Song Yeong-dal's house.

Mom told us to come and eat chicken soup.

If we don't go, she will come to our place.

-So I told her we'd go there. -I see.

You said you could handle things.

She asked us to stop by at the store for chickens.

Don't be late.

Hey, make note of this. You have to go to my mom once too.

How shameless.

How could she change her words just like that?

My gosh.

Goodness.

-What's going on? -What should we do?

My goodness.

Get off me.

Where did they go?

-My goodness. -They just ran away.

I can't believe this is happening.

-What? -I know.

She and I chatted away on the street just yesterday.

-But they ran away overnight? -What's the matter? What happened?

They ran away with the group fund.

-My gosh. -Hey.

What's wrong?

-Wake up. -Hurry.

-Please hurry. -Call 911.

Really? They really ran away with the group fund?

Yes. The fund plus some borrowed money.

They even borrowed 10 million won from the shoe store,

promising they'd pay 2% interest.

The shoe store owner turned deathly pale.

Gosh, it's so scary.

A few days ago, she asked me for money, offering some interest,

but I refused, saying I still had to save up.

What if I had given her my money?

I'm so lucky.

My goodness. People are really scary.

How could she do that with such a nice face?

Everybody who opens a store there can't last a year.

-Is it a bad site? -My gosh.

I guess you're right.

Before the dumpling place, there was a fire at the rice soup place.

Fire!

Fire!

The owner of the dollar store died of a heart attack.

I guess the place is cursed or something.

Hey, Ok-ja. There you go again.

Think about it.

Something keeps happening there while other places are fine.

Don't say things like that.

Try to remember if the dumpling store owners borrowed money from you.

You might regret it later.

Gosh, I don't have any money to lend others.

I might pocket some money when you come home drunk, but--

I knew it.

It was you.

-What? -My 100,000 won.

It's you who took the money.

My gosh, what are you talking about? I didn't take your money. I'm innocent.

Hang on. Right, I have to pay for the onions.

I have to go out. See you later.

Hey! Gosh, that woman…

They say the thief is always right under your nose.

You're so weird.

You never waste a single cent,

so why do you hand out cash when you're drunk?

Shall I get you drunk

and make you give me an allowance?

Count the chickens.

Count the small and large ones separately.

Okay.

The landlady must be so frustrated.

I don't believe this.

I knew something was up when she missed the rent for three months.

It's not like fraudsters have a sign on their forehead.

And I'm not a psychic.

Enough of that nonsense.

I want my rent, so find a tenant soon.

Quickly.

How about you offer it below the market rate?

My goodness. This is so irritating.

Bite it off.

That's enough. Bite it off!

How dare you?

Can I have some soup?

Hey.

I'm sure you'll eat more noodles while drinking the soup.

You little…

You ate more than half.

Jong-su. We may have no money, but let's keep our pride.

I'm always hungry, however much I eat.

I couldn't stop myself.

I'll try not to eat any noodles.

Jeong-bong! Jong-su!

-Jun-seon! -You're here.

Why are you eating cup noodles? You should eat rice.

No, Jun-seon.

We ate earlier. This is a snack.

-Right, Jong-su? -That's right.

Do you want some soup too?

Are you sleeping well?

Honestly, Jun-seon.

The room is warm all day long, and there's unlimited hot water.

It's a hundred times better than Action Art's dorm.

Don't you worry, Jun-seon.

No? You can't spare anything?

I understand. I just asked.

I'm fine, but the guys need a job.

Hey, Sang-gi. Your office…

Darn this stupid…

No, not you.

How much did it cost to set up your office?

Everything, including the rent and equipment.

What? Forty million won?

That's a lot. Your office isn't even that big.

Where would I get 40 million won?

All I have is a plastic bag.

Okay. Thanks anyway. Bye.

Welcome--

Hello.

Hello, Ms. Song.

Hello. How are you, Mr. Yoon?

Where's the boss?

She went upstairs to get changed.

Oh, okay.

So, were you surprised yesterday?

I was so surprised too. No wonder you looked familiar.

At the street vendor and the hotel…

Anyway, I had no idea it was you.

Pardon? What do you mean? What street vendor?

You don't remember? Two days ago at the beer joint.

You drank a whole pitcher, and even at the street vendor.

You got drunk and vented at me.

That's not true. I didn't drink two days ago.

I think you're mistaken.

Don't say that.

However drunk you were, you must remember me.

I'm the type that shows up in your dreams once we meet.

Hello? Ms. Song? Hello?

I did all sorts of things for you that evening.

I imparted wisdom that I'd accumulated and offered heartfelt encouragement.

I even offered monetary support!

That really wasn't me.

Did you confuse me with someone else?

I have such a common face.

And I'm terribly shy.

I don't drink alone with strangers.

I didn't say it was just us. I said we had drinks.

What?

Whether there were two or three is not important.

Because it wasn't me.

Right…

Jae-seok. What are you doing here?

Why not go home if you got off work?

Well, that was because I knew you'd be here.

That's great. Let's go to the department store.

You need new bed linen, and your desk lamp is too old.

We can have dinner there too.

Well, I'm so tired.

Can we go on the weekend, Mother?

Just come with me now.

We should get things done right away.

Let's go. Come with me. Let's go now.

Mom. But I…

Da-hee, clean up and close up.

-See you tomorrow. -Okay.

-Let's go. -Mom, wait.

We're leaving now.

The street vendor…

Mom, wait.

How can someone be such a terrible liar?

She practically broadcast that she was lying.

Will you hurry up? Why is someone so young so slow?

Mom.

Can't we cut it short and go home?

Bed linen is all the same.

No. You start and end your day in your bed.

You can't buy just anything.

Those small details determine your quality of life.

Let's hurry. There's no time.

We're only halfway through.

Come along.

I'm a slave, not a son.

Mom.

Welcome, Gyu-jin.

-Mother! -Gyu-jin.

I didn't eat all day just so I could eat your chicken.

Did you really? Good for you.

Today's chickens are so fat.

Have one each and recharge.

Is it because you deal with kids all day long?

You both look so haggard.

Are the chickens inside?

Let's get them quick. I'm hungry.

-Okay. -Well…

-Wait. -What?

Hey there. You know them, don't you?

My son-in-law, the pediatrician.

Oh, hello.

Hello. Na-hee, it's been a while since I saw you.

The shoe seller is in the hospital. Let's visit her.

Hey, Jin-ju, don't you know my son-in-law?

My daughter and the pediatrician.

-Hello. -Yes, hi.

The great son-in-law and clever daughter are here.

Oh, it's nothing special. Doctors are common nowadays.

But it's nice to have a doctor or lawyer in the family.

It's a great help when you're sick.

Sure.

Let's go in. Dad's inside.

-Okay. Bye. -Go on.

-Bye. -See you.

She's such a show-off.

Others might think she's the doctor.

Let her be. What else does she have to brag about

than that daughter and her husband?

But still,

I'm kind of jealous.

Just a bit.

Really? Your brother is home?

That's great. Your mom must be pleased.

Yes, she's very pleased. She gets quite lonely.

She does. She was like that even in school.

She was. She was extraordinary.

Was it when I was eight? I still remember it now.

She had her hair braided into two pigtails,

and a book of poems under her arm,

either for show or to read.

She walked around everywhere like that. It was annoying.

She was given this nickname--

Oh dear.

What did I just say? Did I say she was annoying?

My goodness. I take it back. Gyu-jin, I take it back.

I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.

Please do.

You're so considerate. You're a good man.

Thank you.

A small bone got stuck in my throat.

You should be very careful with chicken bones.

They're hard to get out if they get stuck.

Okay, Dad.

Why isn't Jun-seon home?

He jumps out of bed for boiled chicken.

He wouldn't miss this feast.

Hi, kid. Does it taste good?

My Seo-jin loves that ice cream too.

I miss Seo-jin and Seo-yeong.

Don't you miss your dad?

Mom!

Yes? What's wrong?

That's my cue to leave.

Na-hee, wait up!

I packed one more for you to take home. You can make porridge with the leftovers.

It's fine, Mom.

Let me take that. Thank you so much.

It's still quite hot, so let me carry it. Go on.

Mother, let me carry it.

Na-hee.

Did you two have a fight?

-What do you mean? -You know what I mean.

You were practically shooting lasers at him.

What was the argument about? Your temper was the issue, right?

Of course not.

I don't let my temper flare up for no reason.

I'm very rational, you know.

Right. Of course you are.

Anyway, be nice to him.

There aren't many guys who are this cooperative when it comes to in-laws.

Cooperative?

Only those who don't know Gyu-jin say that.

What?

I'm just saying. Anyway, I'll get going.

Take care!

-Are you good? -Yes.

This is enough to feed us for three days.

Gosh, thank you so much.

It's nothing. You must be tired, so get going.

Thank you for enjoying the meal today.

Cooking is much harder than eating.

Thank you so much, Mother.

I'm the one who should be grateful.

Na-hee is not so good around the house, is she?

Don't I know it. All she used to do was study.

I never got the chance to teach her anything.

But you understand her and make up for what she lacks.

You have no idea how grateful and sorry I am.

Please don't say that, Mother.

I wasn't blessed with a good husband or great kids,

but I was blessed with a great son-in-law.

Are you two filming a movie or something?

Well, who says that we can't?

I'm exhausted, so let's go.

-Right, go ahead. -Right.

Stop the car.

Why don't you just stay? We're both going home.

It's better for the environment.

I really don't want to.

My mom cooked this, so this is mine, right?

Mother packed it for me.

I doubt it was just for you.

Besides, how is she your mother-in-law?

We're not married, remember?

Hey! Jeez.

Must she act so cheap over food?

What brings you here?

Well, I was on my way home

when the girls suddenly popped into my head.

Here.

I'll give them these tomorrow.

Wait.

Could I

see the kids for a second?

I'll briefly see their faces and get going.

You sleep just like I do, don't you?

My sweet babies.

You both came out with pretty faces to save me money on plastic surgery.

How kind of you.

Dad?

Did I wake you?

Gosh, I'm sorry. You should go back to sleep.

It must be a dream.

Still, it's nice to see you in my dream.

That's right. It's a dream.

Go back to sleep now.

I'm sorry, Seo-yeong.

I'm sorry about everything.

Thank you for letting me see the kids.

There's no need to thank me. You're their father.

Right. Yes, I'm their father.

It's late. You should head home.

Hey, Hyeon-gyeong.

Am I doing all right?

Hearing you say that I'm doing fine

will give me a boost of energy.

Get home safely.

You're doing fine, and you still have your whole life ahead of you.

She's right.

I'm still young, and my life has just begun.

You can do it, Jun-seon! You're their father!

You can do anything!

You crazy jerk, shut it!

Hold on. Before you excuse yourselves,

I'd like to give you a short presentation.

What nonsense are you spewing this morning?

It'll be your eldest son's new business plan for 2020.

You're starting another business?

Before I begin my briefing, I'd like to inform you

that this is your chance

to become investors in Good Action Company.

First, let me explain the stunt industry

regarding its current status and future.

The current stunt industry--

Uncle Jun-seon,

I'm sorry, but I need to get ready for school.

Of course. You can't skip school. Right, off you go.

-Thanks. -No problem.

All right, then.

Hold on. Where was I?

The current stunt industry.

Right.

The current stunt industry

is a monopolistic market.

We must channel the energy and--

Enough of that.

What you want is for us to invest in your crappy idea.

Why do you always have a negative view on things?

Do you know what's common among successful people?

It's the fact that they take a step forward

even though there's only a 1% chance.

I'd like to have a positive view on things too,

so please let me be that way.

Yes, exactly.

The bank only offers 2% interest,

and real estate gets you only 4%.

Those kinds of investments won't help you much anyway.

Forget it.

I'm done listening, so I'll head to my room.

Dad!

I need to make an early start to the day as well.

I should get some more sleep. Sorry, Jun-seon.

I have classes, so I'll listen to it later.

But I haven't even started.

Mom, would you like to hear more of it?

Ga-hee, you can listen while you're sleeping.

Dad,

I know you don't trust me, and you have every right not to.

Still, I'm desperate this time.

Can't you trust me one last time?

You can't do business just with desperation.

-You need potential. -And that I have!

The stunt coordinator Jung Du-hong--

Forget it.

If you want to run a business, come work at the chicken place.

Dad, I told you that I'd never fry chicken for a living.

You imbecile!

What's wrong with frying chicken for a living?

Where do you think I got the money I raised you with?

You kids should be bowing to the chicken I fried.

I know that, but please give me one more chance.

Just this once.

No way. I'm done.

Leave. I need to change my underwear.

Let me do that for you.

Okay, fine. I'm leaving.

Mom?

Mom…

Stop it already.

I barely have enough money to put food on the table.

I took 100,000 from your dad last night.

-Do you want that? -Okay.

Da-hee, hold up.

-Actually, you get a pass. -I'm sorry, Jun-seon.

When I earn enough money, I'll make sure to invest in your company.

Good luck. I'm off!

Will I be around 60 when she earns enough money?

Ga-hee, the most beautiful lady on the planet.

I'm completely broke. There's no point in asking me.

Really? Are you sure you're broke?

Don't you have a few million won stashed somewhere?

I'd like nothing more than to be a cool sister

who can invest in your new project.

Just talking about it makes me ashamed of myself.

Fine, penniless sister.

You know the presentation is in a month, right?

-Yes. -Yes.

Seong-u, make sure we're registered to speak.

Ju-hyeok, come up with mock questions by the end of the week.

I'll start working on the material next week…

Hi, Jun-seon. This is a surprise.

Where?

Na-hee!

What brings you by? Seo-jin doesn't have an appointment today.

I saw walnut buns and was reminded of you.

Have some while they're hot.

What's wrong? You love these.

-Do I? -Don't you?

Then you can start liking them now. Try one. They're delicious.

-How much? -What? How much is what?

You want money, don't you? How much?

Don't be ridiculous. I only brought these for you to enjoy. Really.

Just tell me. Do you want to go home empty-handed?

I need to see my patients.

I need 20 million. Or at least 10 million won.

Twenty million? Did you get into trouble again?

No, of course not. I'm thinking of opening a stunt agency.

Jun-seon, the economy is bad right now.

It might be wiser to receive a salary instead.

I know that, but I really need to do this.

Can't you help me?

You're giving me walnut buns when you're asking for 20 million?

You can be really stingy.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the money either.

I'll be needing some money too.

I guess I can spare about five million.

Five million?

Unbelievable.

It still wouldn't be a wise investment.

In order to start a business, one must do proper research and have plans.

-But you never-- -I'll take what you can give.

And stop with your nagging. Five million.

See you.

You're taking that back?

Na-hee was my last hope. I'm really done for.

Isn't there any money lying around somewhere?

I wish money would just fall from the sky.

-Jun-seon? -Gyu-jin, hi!

It is nice to see you here.

What brings you here though?

Are you here for Seo-jin's treatment?

Not exactly.

Do you perhaps have some time to spare?

Well, the thing about this field is…

I'm not as young nor in great shape as I used to be.

It's embarrassing to work under a junior stuntman too.

Let me help.

-What? -You want to start a business.

Still,

I don't have a lot to spare right now,

and I can only lend you about eight million won.

-Would that be okay? -Eight million?

That's more than enough!

-Thanks, Gyu-jin. -Don't mention it.

However, promise me…

that you won't tell Na-hee. It's from my secret stash.

Is this okay? I feel shameless for taking that.

It's fine. I'm investing in you because I see the potential.

I'm a big fan of your stunts.

Gyu-jin, thank you so much. This is a huge help.

I'll wire it to your account right away.

You can't tell Na-hee, okay?

I won't.

-Promise me. -I promise you.

Of course I don't have money.

I send everything I earn to our parents,

and you come by whenever I've saved some up.

I can barely put food on the table.

-So get lost. -What can I do, then?

The baby will be born soon,

so I need the money to find us a decent place to stay.

Whatever. Your life is yours to manage.

I'm broke too, so sue me.

Is this how it's going to be?

Should I go back to gambling again?

-How dare you say that? -That hurts!

-I'll kill myself. -Unbelievable.

Here you go.

-What's this? -Get your brother a place to stay.

It'll be enough for a deposit if it's a small house.

-Cho-yeon… -My gosh.

No wonder you were on the phone for so long.

Why didn't you come to me for help?

I can't believe you were trying to handle it yourself.

Didn't you sign the lease today?

How will you make the payments?

It's fine. There are other places I can go.

I'll find something cheaper.

If nothing pans out, I can get out of the city.

I'm getting sick and tired of Seoul anyway.

-Cho-yeon. -Please, don't.

I don't do touching moments, so don't you dare.

Cho-yeon, thanks. I love you.

You know I hate physical contact.

-Let go of me. -Guys, I love you too!

What on earth?

My cheeks are about to explode. Guys, let me breathe, okay?

You'll crush my face at this rate.

Ji-hun, that wasn't on purpose.

-Are you sure? -I think it was.

Tae-jin!

Dad!

Did you have fun today?

-How were your classes? -I had fun.

That's my boy. Let's get going.

Here you go.

-I'm home. -Hi.

Auntie is in the bathroom.

Aren't you greeting me?

You always seem to ignore me and it's annoying.

Hi, Seo-yeong.

It went dead again.

Ji-hun, hold on.

Can I borrow your phone? Mom put a time limit on mine.

-It shuts off after an hour. -No way.

Let me borrow it for a while. I won't snoop around.

No.

Please!

Just for 30 minutes.

-Hey, you're bleeding! -I said no!

Just stop bothering me.

What was that?

What? Was it Ji-hun who just yelled?

I guess he's going through puberty.

I see. It's about time. He's 11 years and 3 months old.

It's true, but…

By the way, his fingernails were bleeding.

It must sting a lot.

Ji-hun, are you hungry? Do you want a sandwich?

No. I'm not hungry.

You aren't?

Did you eat a lot for lunch?

What did you have at school?

Today?

I had curry and rice.

I ate a lot.

I see.

Was everything okay at school?

Yes. It was fine.

If you want to bring a friend home, you can do that.

I'll order jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk for you.

Okay.

I should do my homework.

What?

Okay.

Tell me if you're hungry, Ji-hun.

Okay. I will.

Wait.

If Jun-seon calls you, make things up and play dumb.

Why? Is something wrong with him?

You don't need to know. Just do as I say.

Did he call you already?

No, he didn't.

Gyu-jin, are you going home already?

Come home with me.

I want to escape Mom's attention at least for one day.

I can't do that.

Na-hee, please help me.

You know that doesn't make sense.

What should I do, then?

Gyu-jin, I got five calls today.

And she sent me seven text messages.

What if I'm tortured to death?

Gyu-jin, how will you deal with it?

Na-hee, how will you deal with that guilt?

-You won't die. -People don't die easily.

It won't happen.

You two are so mean. You can't do this to me.

If I can't come up with any ideas,

I'll tell her about you two.

-You can't do that! -You can't do that!

What?

Gosh, look at you two with your perfect teamwork.

I wonder why you broke up.

Fine.

I get it.

It's happened already.

It's all my fault that I made

the wrong choice for loyalty. It really is.

Fine.

You should go.

Go enjoy your golden lives.

All right. Good luck. Make sure to flatter Mom.

MS. SONG

NO GUM AND TOILET PAPER IN THE TOILET

Welcome.

You're working hard as always, Ms. Song.

Hello, Mr. Yoon. Are you going home now?

Ms. Choi went home early today.

I know she's not here.

I needed to brace myself first.

-Would you like something to drink? -It's okay.

Please don't mind me, and continue what you were doing.

Okay.

What?

What? What did I do?

Nothing. It's nothing.

Ms. Song.

Do you really not know me?

Of course I do. You're my in-law.

My brother-in-law's brother. And my boss' son.

Oh, is that it? Do you still not remember the street vendor?

I said it wasn't me. Why do you keep saying that?

I see. I'm so sorry, then.

The thing is, I was robbed by that woman there.

What? You were robbed?

Yes. She said she'd pay for the drinks,

but she ran away after paying only part of it while I was away.

-So she's a robber. -Well…

You can't call her a robber for that.

That's not true. She's a robber.

She's the one who ordered the drinks and the food. She ate it all.

Then she… My gosh.

Look at this.

She ran away after leaving this message.

Look.

Should I go to the police to catch her?

Maybe I should go to the NFS.

My gosh.

Hang on.

NO GUM AND TOILET PAPER IN THE TOILET

I think your handwriting looks very similar.

Even the squirrel. Right?

No way. It looks totally different.

-Give me that. Let me compare them. -No, I can't. I should put these up.

Wait. Give me that. Hang on.

Give me that. Come here!

It's so obvious that she's flustered. It makes me want to tease her even more.

They call this cheap?

The deposit is 40 million?

Gosh. I guess everyone is rich except me.

What can I do with 13 million won?

Gosh. Darn it.

No. I'm a man. I've made my decision.

I have to achieve something.

Right. I'm Song Jun-seon.

I just have to make do with what I've got. I have to be tenacious.

All right. I just have to brazen it out.

Be shameless.

-Gosh. Give me that, Dad. -What?

You should call me for things like this.

You might hurt your back.

It's not that heavy.

You might strain your back.

You should think of your age.

You know you're the light of our family.

Your body isn't all yours.

I said no.

Dad, please.

I got an investment of 13 million won.

With 20 million more, I can get a semi-basement room.

I'll pay 5% interest.

No, seven. What about 7% interest?

I'm not running a moneylending business.

I'm really desperate, Dad.

I have people who count on me.

Forget it. You're just wasting your energy.

All that debt is only going to get you into trouble.

Don't try to take someone else's money.

-You should earn money diligently. -You're not just someone else.

Think of me as a stranger.

My money isn't yours.

Dad.

Gosh.

I can't believe this.

You're his dad. Can't you at least act like you're listening?

What?

He wants to start something in a while.

You can at least hear what his plan is…

We know what he's like.

He always asked for money and ended up losing it.

He lost money standing surety for a friend,

and running a business with another.

He doesn't seem clever at all.

Why would I give him money again?

I have no money to spare. At all.

But he's your son.

It's not like he will be unlucky forever.

He's been doing this for 14 years.

It might go well if he starts his own business.

Gosh, have you not given up yet?

You're truly unbelievable. My gosh.

What kind of parent would give up on her own son?

I see. You're so determined when it comes to money.

Make a lot of money and die with it in your arms.

Your grave will be packed with money.

Are you telling me to die now?

-It's just a figure of speech. -My gosh.

Why are you…

Oh, ma'am.

Ma'am, you're out today.

-I'll pull it for you. -No.

-It's fine. -It's okay.

You're early today.

-Did you have breakfast? -Yes, I did.

He has such a weird personality.

Wouldn't it be nice if he were half as nice to his kids?

My goodness. He's so mean.

Yeong-dal is a bit harsh on the kids.

Especially Jun-seon.

Exactly.

He makes him pay rent every single month.

He's so nasty.

What about him did you like so much?

-What? -I remember how you were back then.

You fell in love with Yeong-dal when he worked at our mill.

You wailed that you'd die without him.

You even ended up getting your hair shaved off by Dad.

I know. I fell for his guitar skills and totally lost my mind.

Love does make you crazy.

Once you're lovesick, you can't be cured.

What'll happen to the dumpling place?

I hope they find a new tenant, or it won't be good for our family.

I know.

When I think of Yun-jeong, I think it serves her right,

but it does worry me too.

Nobody would come if they knew about that place.

This is not good.

Ok-bun, can you fry up a whole chicken right now?

Yes, of course. It won't take long.

By the way, have you heard? The dumpling store place got rented out.

My gosh. Someone rented it?

For real?

Yes, for real.

I just met the real estate agent.

Someone signed today.

The space got rented out? Really?

Yes, really.

Ok-ja said the dried seafood seller heard it from the real estate agent.

Really? Gosh, that's great news.

I was worried it would stay empty for a long time.

It's a relief.

My in-law must've put it out really cheap.

No one on that side sells pork trotters.

I wish a pork trotter seller would come in.

Why? To have drinks?

It's not about getting drinks.

It's about filling my belly and my empty heart.

I'd like to do all that.

Whatever they sell, I hope the person is decent.

You're right.

If it's someone like that awful show-off Mr. Oh,

they're not welcome. They'd just cause trouble

and make our jobs harder. I'd hate that.

I am a bit curious. Who rented that space?

I wonder too.

JANG FAMILY OIL

EPILOGUE

Mom!

40 YEARS AGO

Where should I put the empty bottles?

She sent me a letter

Shortly after we parted

Inside was a neatly folded

White handkerchief

Ok-bun.

Bring the rice flour in the basin.

Okay!

It's heavy. I'll…

-My gosh! -Oh dear.

This is valuable rice flour.

Oh dear.

This is terrible.

Oh no.

Why did you want to see me here?

Are you asking

because you don't know?

I do know, but still…

Love Story is showing at Daeji Cinema.

Do you want to go see it?

Love Story?

I asked you out, so I'll buy the tickets.

But after the movie, you can buy me dumplings.

Meat dumplings.

Meat dumplings?

Okay. Let's go.

Ok-bun!

There's an opening for a pediatric research lecturer.

That's good. One of us will get the job.

Fine. Let's split up for real.

The women at the market were right.

They're not your average women.

Sir!

The other merchants feel uncomfortable.

Is that for Unnie's Gimbap?

Bring it over here. Line them up.

Why did you call…

My mom is on her way.

The Cohabitation Contract we have on the wall.

Taxi!

Mother!
