All language subtitles for Once Again E08

-Put the ingredients in the fridge.
-Okay.

We're closed. My goodness!

My gosh. Aren't you the chicken lady?

What brings you all here?

Well, the thing is…

We're here to give you a warning.

A warning?

A warning? I don't think I follow.

I've been watching you

for a few days
after you opened your diner.

Yes, I'm listening.

Well…

the way you operate your diner doesn't…

It doesn't fit the market tradition.

It's tasteless, to be exact.

What do you mean by "tasteless"?

Let's start with the sign out front.

The drawing on it
is a bit hard to understand.

The sign out front?

It was for my previous business,
and it's practically brand new.

It'd be a waste of money to throw it away,
so I thought I might as well use it.

That's right.

Are you saying
you're going to keep using that?

What else can we do?

New signs cost extra money,
and we spent all we had to buy this place.

We're broke.

It's not like you ladies
will pay for a new one.

Also, please refrain from coaxing people
out on the street to come in.

We don't know what sort of business
you previously ran,

but we don't do that here.

Why not?

How can you run a business
without asking customers to come inside?

We live in an era of self-promotion.

Only accepting customers
who walk in willingly

is too old-fashioned.

It's nice
that you're taking initiative, but--

-Then we're good, right?
-Right.

So what else?

Your clothes and hair!
That's what I hate the most.

Who shows skin like this in a small diner?

One might think you're an escort.

Tell me about it.

Who cares what you think? Are you saying
we're not allowed to wear what we want?

Must those who run a business at a market

wear colorful baggy pants
and have extra curly hair?

It's like a uniform, if you ask me.

Fashion is all about
being satisfied with yourself.

It's not like
we're carrying around daggers.

I'd like some level of respect
for our individuality.

While we're at it,
let me explain my makeup.

Growing up in the woods
gave me so many freckles.

I would've given anything to be born

with fair skin like yours,

but all I can do is conceal it now.

I'm sure your sister understands.

-What?
-So, did that answer your questions?

I tried my best.

You're probably exhausted,
so go and get some rest.

Gosh, look at the bags under your eyes.
You must be exhausted.

Then get home safely.

-Girls, let's call it a day.
-Sure.

-Mop the floor.
-Got it.

-Mop the floor!
-What on earth?

Mop, mop.

My goodness!

My gosh.

Let's go.

Can you believe it?

Gosh, look at the time.

I should close up. See you tomorrow.

I need to clean up too. Bye, Ok-bun.

What now?

You dragged me here
and look what happened.

What will they think of me now?

I'll never lead the pack again,
so don't you make me.

What on earth are you blaming me for?

What is up with that woman?

Never have I seen a woman
that boisterous and shameless before.

No, sir. Saying that won't persuade us.

We're not going on TV.
We won't change our minds.

Gosh, what's that smell?

The stew must be burning.

Sir, I'll call you back.
I'm terribly sorry!

No, sir. That's not it.

It's not because you did anything wrong.

No, it's just that we're--

That's not it.

Wait, what's that smell?

I mean sound? I think I heard something.

Someone must be at the door.

I'll call you back. I'm terribly sorry.

I thought my ears were going to melt.

He's been calling us
back and forth for hours now.

Why won't he give up already?

Tell me about it. The man sure is whiny.

It doesn't seem like he'll give up easily.
Now what?

What else can we do?

It's not like we can actually go on TV.

That's not what I meant.

Why don't we just

tell the director about everything?

Are you serious?

Have you forgotten how close
he is to your mother?

This isn't like
keeping your brother's mouth shut.

Who do you think the director
is closer to?

Us or your mother?

They're filming next week,
so let's hold out until then.

I'm sure they'll look for
a substitute shortly.

This is so stressful.

There's no broth left in the stew.
How am I supposed to eat it?

But I saw you eat earlier today.

You're going to eat more?

Well, Si-hu didn't like the hospital food,
so she packed some food for him.

She packed too much
and asked me to finish it off.

But I was interrupted
by the director's call.

Someone might think you're her husband.

Come on. Si-hu's father
would punch me if he heard it.

Si-hu's father?

You see,

she's always been generous
to those around her.

When she was in the choir,
she used to pack sandwiches for everyone--

Who cares?

Yes, exactly.

I don't even know
why I'm explaining myself to you.

I'll officially start my promotions today.

When running a business,
half of it is getting started,

and the other is promotions.
I'll send out my business cards today.

Look at you.
You seem like a real businessman now.

I'm amazed.

Da-hee, I'm grateful and all,

but I'd prefer it if you call me
a CEO rather than a businessman.

Shouldn't you put on a suit

to make yourself look more presentable?

Something casual would be better.
A suit makes me look like a thug.

My gosh. Who said that?
Which scumbag said that to you?

Hyeon-gyeong.

You're listening to her?

He always listens to her.

That's why he divorced her right away.

Do you want help promoting your company?
I can grab people's attention.

Save it, old lady.
Just look after the kids.

"Old lady"?

Are you kidding me?
No one calls me old on the streets.

Son, do I look old to you?

No, you're beautiful.

Right? I am, right?

My son sure has good taste,
unlike someone I know.

This is why brainwashing can be dangerous.

Gosh, I almost forgot. Mom.

Did you leave this
with a plant outside my office?

No, I don't even know
where your office is.

I thought you got the address from
the business card. Was it either of you?

-No.
-It wasn't me either.

If I had stopped by,
I would've announced myself.

You're right. Then who--

No way. That's impossible.

I must be crazy to think that.

What are you mumbling about?

Stop yapping and eat up.

Your mother and I
have a meeting to get to.

-Eat up.
-Okay.

CREDIT CARD BILL: 4,732, 812 WON

Over 400?

No way. When did I spend that much?

That's right. The restaurant!

You're out of your mind. You're so stupid.

Your pride
doesn't pay your credit card bill.

I need to pay my monthly rent soon,
so what am I going to do?

Right, then.

You probably know about
our regular disinfection tomorrow.

Also,

I'd like to talk to you about
adding a new member to the association.

It's Unnie's Gimbap in Block A.

-What?
-What?

Unnie's Gimbap?

You want us to approve of them joining?

-I'm against it.
-Me too.

Why should we let her join
when she doesn't care

about following the rules of our market?

Does she think she can walk all over us?

Exactly!

There's no need to be petty. They're part
of the family, so if it's not a problem--

We're being this way
because they are a problem.

Do you even know what she said?

We're to respect their individuality
since fashion is about self-satisfaction.

She can work alone
since she values her individuality.

Why bother joining our association anyway?

Lower your voice.
There's no need for that.

Guys, come on.

It's not like I want to be
extra generous toward them.

But it's hard to run a business
without joining the association.

How about we let them join first

and try to have them meet us halfway?

He's right. It's not nice
to ostracize people anyway.

It could start a rumor about
the merchants here being territorial.

So let's take a peaceful approach.

Keep the peace yourself.

If we must do this,
then we have to attach a condition.

If they agree
to follow our rules and cooperate,

we'll think about letting them join.

Yes. They should agree to the condition.

Yes, they should.

What? On one condition?

Just forget about it.

We'd rather not get involved
with an association

that strong-arms people.

We're not joining.

What's going on, Cho-yeon?

In order to join the association,

we need to comply with their rules.
They won't let us join if we don't.

What a dirty move.

Who gave them the right to push us around?
How ridiculous.

I guess they found out
that I used to run a bar.

That's why they are looking down on us.

The monk said no human is above a human,
and no human is below a human.

Who's calling who vulgar?

Forget it, Cho-yeon. Just ignore them.

Right. Forget about them.

Gosh, I want to fight someone right now.
I haven't fought in a while.

If they keep doing this,
I'll have it out with them.

What did she say?
Did she say she wouldn't accept it?

She said she doesn't need it.
She hung up on me.

My gosh. She's unbelievable.

My goodness. She just hung up on you?

I knew she was something,
but she's tougher than I thought.

She wants to run a business here without
joining the merchants' association?

I guess she doesn't know anything.

She's so stubborn.

Anyway, she's really something.

Even if we threaten her,
she will never cave in.

What are you talking about?

We didn't threaten her.
We gave her a chance.

Why are you yelling at me?

You were practically trembling with fear
in front of her.

Gosh, when did I do that?

It's not that I was scared.

She was just being so ignorant.

It's not that I'm afraid of her.
It's just not worth it.

-You're here.
-Hello.

Hello.

I can't get caught.

-Excuse me.
-Hello.

Hang on. Let me in.

Hello.

Director Jang, come on in.

I guess you're quick because you're young.

-Thank you.
-No problem.

-Gyu-jin.
-Dr. Yoon.

Hello, Director Jang. Good morning.

Hi.

Hello, Na-hee. You're here early.

Hey. Good morning.

Did you turn off your phone?

-What phone?
-I mean your cell phone.

If not,
the director will call you all day.

What are you guys doing?

Do you have eye trouble?

Turn off your phone
and have lunch outside.

That whiny director is quite persistent.
We'll never know when he'll barge in.

That whiny director is so stubborn.

Have a nice day.

-I have to go.
-Gosh, what was that?

How could you do that?

What's so hard about doing me a favor?

I wasn't going to do this.

DIRECTOR JANG CHOONG-SOO

Take a look at this.

We've been in deficit since last year.

Do you know why?

Dr. Yoon.

You advised me
to make aggressive investments

in high-quality care, so we increased
the number of hospital rooms.

Dr. Song.

We started using more expensive medicine
because you said so.

What?

You'd make me earn as much as I invested?

What nonsense.
Do you think I'm earning it back?

You can't do this to me.

So the president called her.

Do you know what she said?

She said,
"I don't need the merchants' association."

"I know how to get things done."

"I will show you what disregard
and disrespect look like."

She practically wants to fight.

-My goodness. Did she really say that?
-Of course she did.

That's what I heard.

I don't make things up.

Has she lost her mind or what?

I don't care what she's up to.

I was quite notorious in Wangsimni
back in the day.

-Just bring it on.
-I know.

Hello there.

-You're early today.
-Hello.

Look at your clothes.

Those flowers are huge. You look great.

-Have a nice day.
-Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

They are smiling.

They just made fun of us, right?

-Yes.
-Sure.

I can't believe this.

Darn it.

Did you see their faces?
They looked bloodthirsty.

I was so intimidated.

They are quite scary
when they're together.

Don't back down.

What matters the most in a fight
is your attitude.

It's game over
the moment you're intimidated.

We should smile at them
and look carefree at a time like this.

Okay. I get it.

Yes. We're experts in smiling.

They're starting to get on my nerves.

Especially the woman with tiny eyes.
She keeps acting up.

She's so annoying.

Hello. I'm from Good Action Company.

We can hit, get hit, or rise from
the dead. We can do anything.

Please call us. Thank you.

Producer Choi, do you remember me?

I was the stand-in for Lee Seo-jin.

I heard your next film is historical.

My guys look like prisoners of war
even without makeup.

If you hire two people,
we'll send you an extra.

Buy two, get one free.
Isn't it a good deal?

Please call us.

Good Action Company. Thank you.

Hello, sir.

Why carry a heavy box?
You might hurt your back.

You know who I am, right?
It's Good Action Company.

I was so afraid
the toilet would be clogged again.

What are you doing?

Are you a larva? Just get up.

I'm so cold.

I have aches and pains all over my body.

Really? I feel the same way.

I feel itchy all over.
Come on and scratch my back.

Is it because the room is moldy?

Did you see the ceiling?

When I lived alone,
I saw the map of Korea on the ceiling.

But I've never seen the world map.
If it's that bad up there,

it means the walls and floors
are all rotten.

Can't we just go back to a sauna?

-At least the floor is warm there.
-No, we can't.

Did you not see how happy Jun-seon was?
And what about the money?

What are you doing?

-You're here.
-Hello.

Hey, did you sleep well? How was it?
Did you get a good sleep?

-It was like paradise.
-It's so comfortable.

Really?

I guess this place suits you well.
That's nice.

Let's eat before we practice.
Put these away. I'll cook the noodles.

Okay.

How are you?

How I'm doing is not your business.

You're not supposed to
dump your garbage here.

I heard this is where merchants
take out the garbage.

It's for the members of
the merchants' association.

You're not a member.

Then where should
we throw out our garbage?

-Come again.
-Thank you.

There's a lot of food left.
Let me pack it up for you.

-No.
-It's okay.

-I'm full.
-It's okay.

Come again. Study hard.

People in this neighborhood
have tiny stomachs.

Hey.

Are you loafing around
to avoid doing the dishes?

No, I wasn't.

I had to go all the way outside the market
to dump the garbage.

The disposal site here
is for members only.

So we can't dump our garbage there.

-What?
-Cho-yeon!

The association wouldn't let us
cash in gift cards.

It's only for the members.

-What should we do with these?
-Hang on.

We get a lot of gift cards. What do we do?

Gosh, this is unbelievable.

Give me that. This is ridiculous.

Take this.

I told you.
That's not within my authority.

Then who's in charge?

It's fine that we can't use
the disposal site.

We can walk all the way for exercise.

But we're running a business
in the market.

It's just unfair
that we can't cash in the gift cards.

It's like you don't want us to
run a business.

I understand. I really do.

But the association issues
and manages gift cards.

There's nothing I can do.

Gosh, this is ridiculous.

It's so hot.

Now that you're here,
let me tell you something.

Why don't you just give in
and join the association?

You can't run a business in a market
without winning over the ladies.

You should look further ahead.

It's so touching.

You're playing the hypocrite.

Holding out like that wouldn't work.

We're disinfecting the restaurants today.

If you keep being like this,
you can't be part of it.

-Are you okay with that?
-Are you threatening me?

I'm not threatening you.

If you give way a little, I can arbitrate.

The ladies in the market aren't that bad.

They're temperamental,
but they don't hold grudges.

So if you--

Apparently, in the colonial era,

the Japanese presented awards of honor
to each other.

What did you say?

The bottom line is
that I can't cash these gift cards in.

Fine. I get it.

My goodness.

Gosh, she is one stubborn woman.

My gosh.

I wondered why you weren't coming in.
Did you butt heads again?

We didn't butt heads.

I don't care anymore. I did what I could.

I give up.

The more I see that woman,
the more she reminds me of you.

Her facial features and that stubbornness.

One would even think you're siblings.

Hey. How does she look like me?

How so? How does she look like me?

-The way you act!
-What?

-Move.
-Darn you.

-What?
-What else?

Don't you think we need to talk?

I thought about it all day.

We have two options.

-We appear on TV.
-That's nonsense.

Or we tell the hospital director the truth

and explain why we can't do it.

We can't do that.

Once he knows,
your mother will find out soon after.

Then my mom will hear right away.

The director can't keep a secret.

Then what do you want to do?

Can you think of a reason
other than our divorce?

The director called me 14 times today.

He won't give up.

Should I quit my job?

Are you serious?

I have even less reason to do that.

I just said it out of frustration.

I'm not prepared myself.

But

I think we're at a dead end.

This might be our chance to come clean.

I know it's harder for you than me.

Yes. The shock would be immense
for your mother.

But still,

we have to go through this once anyway.

Think about it carefully.

I will too.

Thank you.

UNNIE'S GIMBAP

-Wait.
-Skip this store.

What? It'll be useless if you disinfect
all the stores but one.

I don't care. Skip this store.

Move onto the next one. Skip this one.

Hurry up.

Cho-yeon, they really skipped us.

They're really skipping our store.

They said they wouldn't.

Would they change their mind?

Forget them and come help.

Will this be enough?

It's extra potent.

Are we supposed to stick this here?

Cho-yeon, how about you

just give in and join the association?

The disposal site is way too far,

and the customers keep complaining
because we don't take gift cards.

Yes, Cho-yeon.

They say that crawling is winning.

"Losing is winning."

You can't crawl and win.

It's the same thing.

We're already at war.

We took out our swords.
We must either cut a radish

or cut down
the high-handed association people.

We'll do something.

It's just so inconvenient.

Yes. Fighting might only hurt us.

You sound like someone from the past.

Hey. If everyone were like you,

we'd have never ousted the Japanese.

UNNIE'S GIMBAP

Wait and see.

I will fight to the end
and uphold our style.

-Do you think I'll fail?
-No. I know you won't.

Why are you watching TV today?

You're not studying?

Not today. I'm taking a day off.

Me too.

You take every day off.

Is that allowed?

Won't Auntie scold you?

Ji-hun, I don't have to study anymore.

My dad's a CEO now. Right, Auntie?

I have a lot on my mind today.
Let's watch TV in peace.

What's bothering you?

Talk to me.
I'm a great listener to my friends.

Are you?

Do you have cash?

Yes. 18,000 won.

Keep quiet and watch TV.

Grandma and Grandpa are late today.

I really need to see Grandpa.

-My gosh.
-Finally.

Did you all have dinner?

Oh, look. Seo-yeong is here too.

Grandma, Grandpa, did you have a good day?

What?

Grandpa,
may I request an audience with you?

I have something to tell you in private.

Sure, come on in.

I'm not sure if you heard,

but I got a pretty good score
in the last exam.

Oh, did you? What was your average score?

My average score isn't important, Grandpa.

The point is how much I improved
from last time.

Since I'm doing better, I plan to raise

my average score by five points
in the next exam.

Oh, great. That's good to hear.

But I need something to motivate me.

I'm now a CEO's daughter.

I could do with more funding
to keep up the appearance.

-You want an allowance?
-Yes. You're the best.

If you pay me a little in advance,

I'll use that as motivation
to not inconvenience you or Dad.

Fine. I do hope you stick to your word.

I like that.

-Here.
-My gosh.

Grandpa, can't you be
a little more generous?

A little more, please?

Fine, here you go.

Thank you.

I'd have appreciated two of these,
but I'll study hard!

That kid.

She didn't get her smarts from her dad.

Who does she take after?

She's so cute.

You got money?

From Grandpa. I do this sometimes.

He's generous if you take him on alone.

You should give it a go.

Oh, it's Mom. What perfect timing.

Smiley, wake up.

Yes?

Father, are you free for a chat?

I have something to tell you in private.

Come in if it's not about money.

I'll let you rest.

I wonder who she takes after.

Did you have fun today?

Let's go home.

Hey, I said I'd scold you
if you missed class again.

I'll see you when we get home.

Yes, Mother. Do as you wish.

Are you leaving now?

-Dad!
-My dear girl!

Why are you so late? I waited for you.

Dad was a bit busy.

Hi, Seo-jin.

What did you do?

Did you have business meetings
or something?

Well, something like that.

CEO Song, good for you!

Good for you too!

Seo-yeong, get in the car. I'm tired.

Okay.

I have to go. Make lots of money.

I will.

Seo-jin has a kindergarten interview
next month.

It was hard to find an opening
at a special needs center.

They want to see both parents.

Okay. Tell me when you have a date.

Hyeon-gyeong.

Did you leave a potted plant
and business card case outside my office?

No. Why would I go there?

See you.

Yes. You'd never visit.

Then who was it?

It must be nice for you.

You stay the same and never age.

Do you know what day it is tomorrow?

It's the 35th anniversary
of the day we met.

I can't forget the look on your face

when you fell in love with me.

-I'm home, Mom.
-Welcome home.

Let's eat. I'm hungry.

I already ate. You haven't?

Can't you just pretend I'm not around?

Eat when you're hungry
and sleep when you're sleepy.

How can I pretend you're not around
when you are?

Okay, fine. I apologize.

Come home early tomorrow.

I don't want to eat alone, okay?

Okay, I'll do as you wish, Mother.

He's so cold-hearted.

He's even worse than Gyu-jin.

I know it's harder for you than me.

Yes. The shock would be immense
for your mother.

But still,

we have to go through this once anyway.

Think about it carefully.

Na-hee, hi. This is out of the blue.
Is something up?

Of course not.

You probably have to go
to work today, right?

Of course. What else should I do
when frying chicken is my job?

Mom, how about you take a day off today

and go on a date with me?

Today? Just the two of us?

Yes, just the two of us.

My heart just skipped a beat.

Just the thought makes me so happy.

Okay. I'll get that day off
no matter what.

Sure. Hold on. I'll call you back.

-Honey!
-Yes?

-Honey, hold on.
-What is it?

Let me take the day off today.

It's Na-hee's day off too,
and she wants to go on a date with me.

Na-hee? That's not like her.

Who cares if this is like her or not?

My husband never takes me anywhere,
so it'd be nice to go on a date with her.

I'm taking the day off, okay?

Wait. What should I wear?
My dress is at the cleaners.

What else do I have?

Look at her all excited.

What's good about going out?
She'll only waste money.

Anyway, don't they know what time it is?

Loafers, wake up!

Where did it go?

This is definitely where I parked.

FROM NA-HEE

I'm meeting my mom.
I'm borrowing your car.

UNNIE'S GIMBAP

It's as if the disinfectant
washed away all my troubles too.

Tell me about it.

I haven't seen Ok-bun all day today.
Did she go somewhere?

She took the day off to go on a date
with her second daughter.

-The doctor, right?
-Yes.

She's as cold as dry ice,
but I guess she's warm toward her mom.

UNNIE'S GIMBAP

This coffee sure is delicious.

Sharing a cup of coffee
with fellow members

is the beauty of working together
in the market, right?

Yes, of course!

It's sweeter than usual too.
Did someone add in honey?

Who does she think she is
glaring at us like that?

How dare she.

Why doesn't she join the association,
then?

Look at all this dust.

Gosh, the dust.

Let me dust this off.

Unbelievable.

They're not just annoying
but childish too.

What's wrong?
Did the ladies pick on you again?

Ga-yeon, can you make some coffee?

Make it strong
with three instant coffee packets.

Instant coffee? But you don't
like it because it's too sweet.

I'm craving something sweet.

Get me some coffee. Make it iced.

Sure thing.

What's this?

What's going on?

My gosh!

Girls, stop being so silly.

What's so scary about
one little cockroach?

Are pretty ones always this dramatic?

Unbelievable.
There's nothing scary about bugs.

Bugs…

It's good.

Yeong-dal, are you still on board
for deliveries?

Yes, is there someone that I can hire?

My brother hired a new delivery guy

for his galbi restaurant
and I lured him away.

He's great at driving a motorcycle
and has made deliveries before.

That's great, then. When can he start?

Tomorrow if you like.
My brother already approved it.

I'm sorry, Yeong-dal.

Our coffee break got extended.

I bet you talked smack about
the gimbap place.

I can't understand how women
bond over a common enemy

when they're normally
at each other's throats.

That's absurd.

We've always been
good friends and colleagues.

Well, you've done enough.

You should persuade the ladies

into allowing the gimbap place
to join the association.

They can't run their business
without joining it.

Why should we? They should be the ones
begging to join us.

They don't seem like the type
to back down from a fight.

My gosh. I'll do it!

Do what?

I'll accept the terms

and heed your warning.

Please.

It was terrifying.

My gosh.

I tried doing something fancy to my hair,
but I don't think I did a good job.

Maybe I should've stopped by the salon.

You're beautiful, Ms. Jang.

So what's gotten into you today?

Did something happen at work?

Like what exactly?

I just wanted to get something nice
to eat with you

and talk about a few things.

Gyu-jin will be uncomfortable
without his car today.

I'm sure he took a cab.
He'll be fine for a day.

That's not true for someone
who drives every day.

This is why you should buy a car too.

No way. It won't be good
for my already bad temper.

You say that
as if there's a problem with you.

I hate when people don't follow the rules,

and I step on the brakes
when I get too angry--

He didn't even signal,
that son of a bitch.

I get it now.
Let's only have Gyu-jin drive.

What?

Wasn't that hilarious?

Gosh, this is so pretty.

-Look at the seagull.
-Where?

This is great.

-It is.
-How nice.

I haven't been to the beach in a while.

I'll walk over there.

Sure. Mom, watch your step, okay?

Na-hee!

Gosh, it's good.

After all that fuss,
this is where you wanted to come?

This acorn jelly place in Ganghwa?

I didn't know a better restaurant.

The story is the same
for when I dated your father.

All we did was eat buns at a local bakery.

This is the one special place
we came to on a date.

We were on our way back from telling
my parents that we were getting married.

Have you ever regretted

your life with Dad?

Of course I have.
More than a hundred times.

Still, the man grew on me.

And thanks to marrying your father,

I was able to give birth
to such a sweet and devoted daughter.

Gosh, Mom. I haven't done much for you.

This is more than enough!

I feel like I'm on cloud nine, you know.

Then enjoy the dish.
I'll take you out more often.

Actually, once a year
would be more than enough.

It'll definitely give me
some air to breathe.

Look, Mom--

Hold on a second.

Doesn't Gyu-jin love acorn jelly?

He gobbled it down
the last time I made it for him.

Well, yes.

Wait a second.

-Ma'am.
-Yes?

Can we get
a bowl of acorn jelly salad to go?

Mom, there's no need for that.

Take it home for Gyu-jin.

He seemed so gaunt the other day
that his handsome face had disappeared.

Is it because
you don't cook for him often?

I was embarrassed.

He eats fine, Mom.

He only seems gaunt
because work has been stressful.

I'm just saying that
you should be more attentive.

Gosh, Gyu-jin would love this.

He enjoys everything he eats, doesn't he?

I remember
how he enjoyed this acorn jelly too.

You should have some too.

Please have a seat, everyone.

So the ladies want three things.

One, change your sign out front.

Two, no attracting customers.

Three, appropriate attire.

-Will you accept those conditions?
-Right.

I'll change my sign out front
as soon as possible

and refrain from attracting customers
on the street.

But the clothes and makeup…

Okay, fine. I can change what I wear.

But I can't give up my hairstyle.

Just like you pray underneath the talisman

for a successful day of sales every day,

we go to the salon every morning

to get ourselves ready
for what's to come that day.

Our hairstyle is our talisman and symbol.

I can't give up on this.

Your clothes were the real issue anyway.

I didn't really care
about your hair either.

Okay, then. So we've come to an agreement.

Do you now approve of Unnie's Gimbap
joining the merchants' association?

What you say here is final.

-Sure thing.
-I'm good.

Then go ahead and shake hands
to show that you've made peace.

What? That is hardly necessary.

You do it instead, Yeong-dal.

You can never be generous, can you?

Okay, fine. Yeong-dal, go ahead.

Sure thing.

I know we clashed at first,

but let bygones be bygones
and we'll move forward from here.

Welcome to our market.

-Sure. Thanks.
-Good.

-Let's applaud.
-All right.

I doubt the girls
have anything long to wear.

Do we have to go shopping?

How annoying!

I'm only taking a step back
to take two steps forward.

We'll see who gets the last laugh, ladies.

Ma'am!

-Goodness.
-You're here.

What did you bring today?

-Shepherd's purse and things like that.
-The spinach you gave me was delicious.

-Thank you for enjoying it.
-Let me carry this for you.

Guys, why weren't you picking up?

Jong-su, what's wrong?

Are you sick? Talk to me.

I woke up today,

but my body was aching all over,
and I couldn't move.

Then you should've gone to see a doctor.

Where's Jeong-bong?

Jeong-bong…

What's wrong with you?

Jun-seon, it's the mold.

I'm allergic to it.

This place is too damp.

I can't live here.

Can you scratch my back for me?

Unbelievable.

Come on in.

Are you sure we can stay here?

It'll be uncomfortable
to share the space with us.

Don't sweat it.
When did that ever worry me?

As you can see,
it was cheaper to let it rot

than fix it up for a rental.

The ceiling leaks sometimes
and the toilet clogs,

but it'll be better here.

Thanks, Jun-seon.
This place is like a hotel for us.

Thank you so much, Jun-seon!

Keep your voice down.

Guys, listen up.

Just so you know, I'm not exactly
the most welcomed person in the family.

Rather than a son,
they see me as a tenant.

So would they be happy to know
that I've brought in two more people?

No, they wouldn't.

-They'd hate it.
-Right?

So you must stay silent
and be like ghosts.

-Do you understand?
-I do.

-What did I mean?
-What?

What did he mean?

Could you repeat that?

So, in short, you two will now
be ghosts in this house.

Until I get us a deal for a new place,

you'll practice being invisible.

-What did I say?
-Be invisible.

Right. You can probably tell
by looking at the walls,

but this is an old house,
so the walls are thin.

My mom may not be an issue,

but my dad is someone
you need to watch out for.

He's a dangerous man.

If you get caught, he'll kick me out too.

He might even kill me.

He's a light sleeper.

-Do you get me?
-Yes, we get you.

-I'll be careful.
-Good.

-Seriously?
-Sorry, it was my dumbbells.

Gosh.

I thought she wasn't scared of anything,

so hearing her talk about her hair
was a bit of a surprise.

I did feel bad for her in a way.

Don't be ridiculous.

-No one told her to stick it out.
-Exactly.

Anyway, we got what we wanted.

Gosh, that feels great.

Hello, ladies.

-Hi, Ms. Jang.
-Hi, Yun-jeong.

Sorry, Ms. Choi.

You must be here to shop for groceries.

It's good to see you, Ms. Choi.

It's been a while. Is business going well?

Yes, of course!

Is Ok-bun at the store?

No, Na-hee took her out on a date.
They're on Ganghwa Island.

A date?

I'm having dinner
with my son this evening too.

My second son has come back from Turkey.

I see.

Well then…

Have a good day, then.

Why does she always
greet people like that?

She never bows her head.

She owns a building, remember?

I guess she believes
she's too classy for us.

Fundamentally,
we're all human beings though.

She's always been annoying.

Since high school,
she'd glance at others like that.

It's an illness if you ask me.

My gosh.

She never wants to have a meal with me,
but she goes off on a date with her mom?

Unbelievable.

You're back, Ms. Choi.

Let me take that.

It's fascinating how two sisters
are so different.

Why did you buy so much today?

I'm grilling some steak today.
It's a special day.

I was hoping to enjoy it with my son

accompanied by a glass of wine.

That'd be nice.

I wonder when he'll get here.

Son, when will you be home this evening?

Mom, I'm going to be a bit late today.

An implant surgery has been scheduled.

What?

You promised to have dinner with me today!

Did I? When?

I guess that's what you said,
but I didn't hear it.

Do you want to die?
Come home right after the surgery.

I don't want to eat alone tonight.

What did you say? I can't hear you. What?

Mom? I'm busy. I have to go.

I'm sorry, Mom. I love you.

Hey. Well…

Jae-seok!

Gosh. That jerk.

Ms. Choi.

I like steak.

Why did you lie to her?

Your afternoon schedule's empty,
so you're slacking off.

Mom wants to have dinner with me.

I don't want to be alone
with Mom anymore, Gyu-jin.

So?

What are you going to do
about the TV show?

Gosh, I don't know. I'm still thinking.

Why is everything so tough for you?

What are you thinking about, Dr. Yoon?

Hi, Bo-yeong.

You looked so lonely from the back,
so I wondered who it was.

Why? Are you worried about something?

No, I'm not worried.

I guess you are.

You can never hide your feelings.

What's wrong?

I just have a lot on my mind.

I'm not sure if I made the right choice.

Life is a series of choices.

And it's not so bad
to make a wrong choice.

It makes you feel confident
about your next choice.

You think?

Yes. So don't lose sleep over it
and just go ahead with your choice.

-What?
-You haven't changed at all.

You used to give me a lot of advice.

Gosh, you're quite nosy.

What? How dare you say that?

It doesn't hurt at all.

Don't tease me.

Have some bread.

Okay. This place is so nice.

And the coffee smells great.

The coffee is really good.

Ga-hee is going to cook dinner, right?

If she can't, she will at least
order some Chinese food.

Sure. She has a son.
She wouldn't let him skip a meal.

Don't worry.
Why worry about their dinner here?

I know. This is my problem.

All right. I don't care
if they skip a meal or not.

I'm on strike today.

I'm so lucky today.

Then do you want to live
with me like this?

You can travel around
with me every weekend

and eat lots of delicious food.

It's okay. You have your family.
I know it's not easy.

Today is good enough for me.

Mom, the thing is--

Gosh. The other day,
Gyu-jin came to my place

and said he was thirsty.

So I told him to drink the juice
in the fridge.

That day, I got some red pepper oil
in a juice bottle from the mill.

He drank it up.

He kept gagging, and his eyes turned red.

It was hilarious.

Why do you keep talking about Gyu-jin?

You've been talking about him all day.

That's because
he is my one and only son-in-law.

Gosh.

Are you jealous of him?

You know what?

Gyu-jin can be very reliable,
but sometimes, he's like a little kid.

Unlike Yun-jeong, he's just lovely.

Oh, right. We should call Gyu-jin.

-I wonder if he's okay without his car.
-It's okay. I'll call him later.

I need to go to the restroom.

You must tell her.

You must tell her, Na-hee.

Gosh, what should I do?

What a waste. This is terrible.

My goodness.

Mom, what's that? What happened?

I tried to stand up and get some water,
but I accidentally knocked it away.

Do you think I can pick up
the pieces that didn't hit the floor?

You can't eat this. Get up.
You'll ruin your clothes.

I can't believe this. It was for Gyu-jin.

Gyu-jin loves acorn jelly.

I'm so stupid. I should've been careful.

I didn't even check if it was sealed.

Is it too far to go back there
and buy it again?

My goodness.

What a waste. I feel so terrible.

My gosh.

This is really upsetting.

This was for Gyu-jin.

TTOBONGEE CHICKEN

This is Mr. Song Yeong-dal.
And this is Ms. Jang.

Mr. Song's wife is not here today.

You'll meet her tomorrow.

Ms. Jang, will you stop drooling?

Welcome. Nice to meet you.
What's your name?

I'm Park Hyo-sin. Nice to meet you.

I'm glad you're here. I hope we get along.

By the way, you're so handsome.

You have a creamy complexion.

We might not need a light in the store.

I don't even smell the hot oil anymore.

Thank you.

You need to know the neighborhood
to deliver chickens.

You might have a hard time.

No, I know this neighborhood.

My friend lives around here.

Dad, I brought pepper powder.

The owner wasn't there,
so I waited for a long time.

-You're here.
-Long time no see.

Well…

We will start doing deliveries.

And he's the deliveryman.
This is Mr. Song's eldest daughter.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

You have your license
and insurance certificate?

Yes. Here.

Let me see.

It's so good to see you.

This is the working environment
I've always wanted.

Women care so much about men's looks.

It's not just men
who like beautiful women.

Will you move over? I can't see him.

-My goodness.
-Move over.

Gosh, I'm still upset
about the acorn jelly.

How could I drop it like that?

This won't do.

I should go again with Gyu-jin next time.

I need to see him eat that acorn jelly.

I guess
the traffic is probably bad on weekends.

Right?

Na-hee, why are you being so quiet?

Are you sleepy?

No.

You shouldn't doze off while driving.

Here. Open your mouth.

Mom, you should wear gloves
when you fry chicken.

Look at your hands.

-It's okay. I'm used to it.
-Use ointment. It'll leave a scar.

Okay. I will.

I wish every day was like today.

I'm so happy.

This looks amazing.
It's like I'm in a restaurant.

Try it. It doesn't taste bad either.
With some wine.

This is crazy.

It's so delicious.

It's so tender. I don't have to chew it.

You're so good at cooking.

That's not true. I just used good meat.

You should try some. Here.

It's good.

Wait.

That's against the rules.
You can't drink alone.

How old did you say you are?

I'm 28.

What a great age.

If I were part of this generation,

I'd have done everything I wanted.

In my time, marrying well and having kids
was a woman's standard of happiness

when it all means nothing.

That's not true.

You raised both sons to be doctors.

What's the point in that?

They think they did it themselves.

I suffered to raise them, and now
they ignore me to enjoy their own lives.

Today is a rough day for me,
and I feel sentimental.

It's the anniversary of my first date
with my husband.

Oh dear. I can't believe I said that.

You should eat and close the cafe.

-Let's eat.
-Yes, ma'am.

The steak is really amazing.

Did I eat too much?

What are you doing?

I was going to pass by,
but I came in to ask.

Ms. Song, how could you betray me
at that moment?

Do you know how long I suffered
because of you?

I don't know, and I have to close up.

Why don't you spend time
with your mother instead?

What? You're changing the subject again.

No. We need to talk this out today.

Must you make me feel so uncomfortable?

What did I do that was so wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong.

So go and check on your mother.

Why do you keep mentioning my mom?

She's not a baby!

There's a reason for all this,
so just go upstairs.

-Get out of here!
-Wait, Ms. Song.

-Get out already.
-Why are you so strong?

-Wait.
-Get out! My gosh.

Mr. Yoon!

Ms. Song.

Oh dear. It looks very swollen.

I'm so sorry.

Shouldn't you go to a hospital?

I work at a hospital.

I'll get an X-ray scan
as soon as I get there

and ask to be examined.

I'll get some painkillers
and pain relief patches.

No, sit back down.

Forget the pain relief patches.

-Are you really sorry?
-Of course I am.

I feel so bad I want to die.

Then including treatment fee
and pain relief patches,

buy me something else.

Something else?

Okay. What?

-Thank you.
-Goodbye.

Why do you want a drink
instead of pain relief patches?

It's not just a drink.
It's a reconciliation drink.

I feel bad for what I did to you,
and vice versa.

Let's drink this and call it even. Okay?

Okay.

I can be cheeky and naughty at times,
so I sometimes cross the line.

Even more so with people
who I think I click with.

I'm truly sorry.

Don't be. I was small-minded.
I let my inferiority complex control me.

It's fine.

We both feel bad,
so let's not talk about that again.

-Here. Cheers.
-Cheers.

Let's eat.

Order more food.
I'll eat 64,000 won worth.

Oh, come on!

Eat up quickly and comfort your mother.

She said it's a special day for her.

It's the first day
she met your late father.

She was so lonely.

I ate with her in your place.

That's why.

She should've just said so.

Moms get upset more easily
the older they get.

So care a bit more about her from now on.

She likes flowers,

so you can surprise her
with having a bouquet delivered.

I'm glad you were there for her.

I hope you work at her cafe
for a long time.

I will, but only for a few months
until my transfer exam.

Are you studying to transfer?

Yes.

I'd like to study what I always wanted to.

-Though it's a bit late.
-It's not late.

You can study at any age.

That's cool. You're amazing.

I thought you were timid.
Where did you get the guts?

I don't know. I found them.

I feel a little proud of myself
these days.

Do you study during the day?

It's hard having to study
after years of not doing it.

I can manage English somehow, but math…

I was dreadful even in high school.

We share the same parents,

so why am I so dumb?

Na-hee's best subject was math.

Do you know

who did better in math than her?

Who?

Ask me if you're stuck.

I bet I'm better than any tutor
in Daechi-dong.

I'd be grateful for the help.
I'll really take you up on the offer.

You should.

-I even speak English.
-Oh, stop it.

How about we have another glass?

Let's get along from now on, Ms. Song.

Yes, let's do that.

Can you really manage alone?
Shall I help you?

No, I live across the street.
I'll take my time.

It's late. Go on home. Go on. Go.

Put some ice on it later.

And see a doctor about it tomorrow.

I will. How many times will you say that?

Go on home. Go.

-Go home. Go.
-Goodbye.

A huge trash mountain has been
neglected in the Gyeonggi area--

Why is she so late?

DIRECTOR JANG

Darn it.

You're home.

Did you tell your mother?

Did you tell her?

Don't take it. It must be the director.

He just called me.

Hello, Director Jang.

I'll do it.

We'll go on TV.

Flower delivery.

-Ms. Choi Yun-jeong?
-Yes, that's me.

These are for you.

-Sign here, please.
-Okay.

Who sent it?

It says Mr. Yoon Jae-seok.

My gosh.

It must be from your son.

How many flowers are there?

It's beautiful.
You must be so pleased, Ms. Choi.

Have a nice day.

Thank you.

Why did he send me flowers?

He can be so cheeky.

My dear son.

Thank you so much
for agreeing to be on the show.

Especially Dr. Yoon Gyu-jin
and Dr. Song Na-hee.

I heard a lot about you.

You refused at first.

We had some private issues that--

I must make this clear.

We won't be on for long.
It's just for two months.

Yes. Two months.

I was told about that too. Don't worry.

Does this mean

the panel of doctors is just us four?

No. There's an orthopedic specialist
as well.

-He'll be here soon.
-Orthopedics?

Dr. Lee's here.

Hello.

I must be the last to arrive.
I meant to hurry.

Jeong-rok.

-It's been a while, Gyu-jin.
-Yes.

It's even nicer to see you.

Crazy Song Na-hee.

Hello, Jeong-rok.

I have another question to ask.

Gosh, Na-hee. You haven't changed at all.

-My gosh, are you all right?
-Seriously?

-Compensate me for this.
-What?

Hold on a second.
You're the one who knocked the cup over,

so why should she pay for anything?

Guys, come on down. No one's home.

Who are you people?

Ga-hee, you're home.

I was wondering if you let others
borrow your husband.

Gyu-jin!

I lied to you about something.
