(Episode 2)

Should I pour the sauce all the way?

Do you want her to pour all of the sauce on the food?

Yes.

Pour it all.

Why are you joining them?

This is good!

No! That's not it.

Just vegetables won't be enough for a feast for my daughter.

Prepare a bottle of wine too.

Yes, ma'am.

I knew you'd do this.

How can you be so ignorant?

I've told you a million times, but you don't remember.

Why don't you just pair it with soju, your favorite, instead?

You know me. I'm sorry, ma'am.

You're right. If you had been any smarter,

I wouldn't have been lucky enough to enjoy all of your food.

Do you want to join the wine study?

Your Korean and Italian cooking skills have improved so much...

as you followed me around until now.

What do you say?

Hello!

Ju Won, now with you back here,

First Street feels so bright!

I'm half a married woman.

Half? What do you mean?

I came back after calling off the engagement, did I?

- So I'm half a married one. - Come on. In this day and age?

Before they start gossiping behind my back,

I'm going to tell everyone today.

Good thinking, Ju Won.

I'm glad you understand how nosy the women in this neighborhood can be!

I heard Gun Woo was coming back next week.

Why? Do you miss that fatty?

Hello!

- Hello! - Hey!

- Welcome! - Look at you.

- Good evening! - Good to see you doing well!

- It's been a minute! - How have you been?

How could you take that?

The lottery draw begins now!

- Here are this week's winning numbers. - Nice!

You just need all the numbers to win,

regardless of the order.

All proceeds from the lottery...

go to low-income families...

- and children in need... - The Emcee, Son Jin Pyo, is so handsome.

- He's my dream man. - Don't miss your chance!

The winning numbers are...

But why is he only on the lottery show?

He's on the news program too.

- When? - Twenty-three!

- You should watch the news too. - What time?

- Is it a dud again? - Why even bother to ask? Of course.

By the way, this big house is empty.

Why do we need to stay in this tiny room?

I also thought they installed...

those surveillance cameras to keep an eye on burglars,

but I was wrong.

Their biggest fear they have...

when they're away from home isn't burglars.

It's me, their maid.

They're worried I might touch their stuff, use it without permission,

and even steal them.

That's what they are afraid of.

That's upsetting.

In other words, they just want us...

to watch the house, keep it sparkling clean,

and stay in this tiny room any other time.

That's what they want.

That's so cheap.

- I know! So selfish! - Shellfish?

This is nice.

It's so tender.

This looks so good!

Soon Ok. Have some more.

It looks scrumptious!

What a lucky woman you are to have a maid who cooks this!

I wonder why my maid can't cook like this.

What do you mean?

My maid can't cook this either.

Oh, my.

Are you saying you cooked all these yourself?

Good gracious. No wonder!

This shrimp is as proud as you are!

That's a compliment, right?

I'm too scared to eat it.

Am I supposed to chomp on its head too?

How did you prepare these shrimps?

How did you make their heads stand right up?

You've transformed them into something so special.

Tell us your secret!

Hey!

The head!

How did you stand their heads?

- What? - I mean the shrimp heads!

- How did you do that? - Oh, that?

Don't cut them at the neck.

Stab them behind their backs,

get the guts out,

and stick the tail mercilessly.

You're so brutal.

- Pardon? - No, it's fine. Bye.

Stick the tail...

What is it? A call of duty?

Why does she even take Italian cooking lessons?

I knew something was off when she made me follow her around.

She works me like I'm her slave and makes me do everything for her.

She's only being so pretentious.

Why bother taking cooking lessons when she doesn't even cook?

- Tu, why didn't you bring... - What?

some of that organic salad or whatever?

No, it's not organic.

Didn't Mr. Hwang work so hard to raise the greens organically?

He goes to his garden to check on them every day when he gets up.

He's the gentlest boss here, don't you think?

Mr. Hwang is busy.

I am growing the plants now.

- You? - Yes.

There are too many insects,

so I secretly use pesticides.

It's nearly impossible to get rid of those insects!

You'll get caught!

No, I won't.

I'm confident.

Look at her! Those are different!

Fancy salads from expensive restaurants don't look good...

because insects eat the greens before they're harvested!

It seems like customers prefer them.

If the greens look too perfect and pretty,

they tend to dislike them, assuming pesticides were used.

You'll get busted!

That's why I poked holes in the leaves with my fingers...

like they were eaten by insects.

Tu! Who taught you things like that?

- No idea. - She's officially a vixen now.

She now plays dumb when she's cornered.

Where's Hyun Ju, by the way?

Maybe she's not coming today.

Hasn't she been acting oddly recently?

Like a dog having an affair.

What?

How is your mouth as dirty as your feet?

I call a dog a dog! What else do I call it?

Even so, you witch!

We're all broke women!

The least you can do is be nice to each other!

What? A dog having an affair?

Don't you think you're too young to say such vulgar words?

I'm telling you this because I care about you like my daughter.

Do you understand?

- Seriously! - Hey! You little!

- How dare she? - Da Kyum!

- How dare she? - No!

Just let it go, Soo Jung.

She's barely in her 20s!

Look at her talk! She's so rude!

Seriously! Clean this up!

I'll teach her a lesson!

If they always fight,

why do we keep meeting like this?

Koreans are so weird.

Hyun Ju?

I'm getting changed.

Please give me a moment. I'll be out in a moment.

Hyun Ju?

Hyun Ju?

Hyun Ju!

Do you really think Trophy cooked that?

That's absurd, as a roasted chestnut can sprout.

Do you really believe that?

I bet she's never even washed an apple on her own.

How would she prepare shrimp heads?

How would she know how to do that?

You're right.

Who would've known...

such a big blessing would come in after Chun Jak left?

Should we get a new maid too?

Do you want me to look into it?

How refreshing!

- Do you want some more? - Me?

- Do you want some more? - No, I'll pass.

A call of duty?

That's right.

They advise older people like us not to finish all the soup.

Bring more soup for Mr. Jang.

This is delicious!

(Check for 1,000 dollars)

That's exactly how much I paid for his drinks.

I know it's definitely mine,

but it's not like I can steal it.

I can't believe it's been three years since I moved in.

Have you been well, Grandma?

I already miss you.

(Three years ago)

I can almost see you cleaning that big house alone.

I've been spoiled all of my life, thanks to you.

How are your knees?

How about your back?

(From Kang Gun Woo to Yoo Chun Jak)

What are you doing here?

Who are you?

- It's a little dry. - Sorry?

The rice is too dry.

I didn't steal your job, did I?

I'm sorry.

If you're sorry, how about you do me a favor?

"Young Master."

"Young Master."

"Please never skip your meals."

"Please never skip your meals."

- "I'm doing well." - "I'm doing well."

"Your father and stepmother..."

"treat me very well."

He doesn't need to know I got kicked out.

It'll only distract him when he's studying so far away.

Just keep it a secret.

What?

What if he calls the house and looks for you?

Don't you know how to lie?

- What if he keeps sending you letters? - Those letters don't have eyes.

Tell him I'm dead. That should do the job.

- Okay? - Fine!

I'll just tell him I'm the babysitter,

and you've gone to the supermarket or the bathroom.

Or I'll lie that you're asleep.

You know,

the baby is probably not the young master's but Mr. Kang's.

Oh, I see.

Even if I don't come back,

can you keep sending him letters like you did today?

(Jungang-ro 17-1)

(From Kang Gun Woo to Yoo Chun Jak)

(Dear Grandma, Every time I call you, you're always unavailable somehow.)

(If you're too busy, just one sentence is enough.)

Your brother's eyes will pop out while waiting for a reply.

"Dear, my beloved young master."

"How's the weather in New York?"

"I think of you whenever I clean the study."

"You've read so many books here."

"What more was there for you to learn..."

"that you went all the way there..."

"to continue studying?"

"It's hard, isn't it?"

"Next time, write me a list of food you want to eat."

"I will cook everything and send it to you."

The chili paste made by you.

Thank you! Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

"It's time to try my spicy chili paste."

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

(From Kang Gun Woo to Yoo Chun Jak)

This isn't anything expensive,

but it's for you.

"Don't neglect your studies because you're too busy with girls."

Stay healthy.

I love you.

(Kim Soo Hwan, "Untitled," Oil painting on canvas)

Is this painting sold?

- Yes, someone just bought it. - Who?

Someone you know very well.

He's the one who purchased Artist Kim Yuk's "The March Portrait,"

"The Name of the Land," and "Untitled Six."

Is that old man not done investing yet?

- Is this the most expensive one here? - Yes, sir.

The painting looks cheap, perhaps because it's without a frame.

What do you think, Mr. Kim?

Frames can divert attention from appreciating the artwork.

Sure. Forget it.

- Pack it for me. - Yes, sir.

I wouldn't sell that to him if I were you.

Nor the one with the red sold-out stamp on.

Do you want it?

Kim Yuk,

I mean, my grandpa's pieces were put on the market by you.

Why? Did you not like his paintings?

It's unfortunate.

I newly painted the walls at home, and the color didn't go well...

with the artwork.

You newly painted the walls?

I guess you change your wall color quite often.

You resold all three pieces within six months of purchase.

Mr. Kim,

are you in need of money?

Why would you allow your exceptional work...

to be valued lower than mere walls in a house?

Let's be real. That piece.

That's the finest piece you've created in the past five years.

It's exceptional!

Why would you abandon it after working so hard to create it?

Why would you allow it to be treated like an orphan,

moving between houses like that?

It's so frustrating.

What's up with you? You're buying two?

Just because.

The one on the right is for Six-Clove Garlic Club,

and mine is on the left.

Why? Are they any different?

I can't mix them up.

The ticket for the maids is on the right, and mine is on the left.

Mine is on the left.

Can I open a phone line right now?

Hello. This is Mr. Kang's house in Cheongdam-dong.

I'd like to speak to Grandma.

Who's speaking?

This is from New York. I'd like to speak to Grandma.

- She's currently... - A pack of five ramyeon bags...

for 2.60 dollars!

- And pork belly... - Who's calling again?

I'm Kang Gun Woo, the son of that family.

It's on sale for 6.30 dollars!

A pack of five ramyeon bags is...

She should be back soon.

Tell her I called from New York, then.

It was only 3.80 dollars!

I'll give you a discount and offer it for 6.20 dollars!

Are you okay?

Oh, yes.

Are you sure?

Are you gone?

Is anyone there?

Goodness! How embarrassing!

Let go!

What are you doing here?

Mind your own business.

Haven't we met before?

I don't think so. Even if we had,

I would've still wanted you to just walk away.

Can you walk?

- Of course. - Like this?

Oh, no! These are Ms. Seo's shoes!

- Let's go and see a doctor. - Why would I go with you?

You haven't changed a bit.

You're the same!

I mean First Street.

You're so heavy!

Just hold on, okay?

See? You should've just left when I told you so.

Thanks for falling like that right in front of me.

It was really hard to hold my laughter.

- I told you I would help you. - Forget it.

I won't charge you.

I said it was really hard not to laugh.

I didn't actually laugh.

I'm...

Kang Gun Woo.

Nice to meet you.

How have you been?

Try it on.

Are you really Kang Gun Woo?

I'll call you.

So boring!

This neighborhood is so boring!

Hey, please drive for me.

Yes, Michael! Vroom-vroom!

Mongryong!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Hello?

Go away!

What are you doing there?

Is there room? I'll join you.

No! Don't come!

Why not?

What are you doing there?

What are you trying to do?

How could you let this happen?

Who are you?

What happened to Grandma?

Are you Gun Woo?

Gun Woo?

Kang Gun Woo!

Let go. What are you doing? What did I do wrong?

Let go!

Be quiet!

Gun Woo, did you leave your fat behind in New York?

Is your fat coming back on the next flight?

In business class?

Shut it before I stuff your soccer ball in your mouth.

One more word,

and I'll make sure your lips never meet again. So, shut it!

She had nowhere to go.

That old woman had no family!

You should've taken care of her while I was away.

You should've called me, you jerk!

And you call yourself a human?

What if she passed away?

What if she's sick and alone?

Hey! I thought you knew and agreed that she would leave.

Who made her get fired?

Who cooks now?

Well...

Do you think Trophy would cook?

Hey, Mr. Kang.

Apparently, this is Gun Woo.

Look at this unbelievable size.

And this unbelievable mouth!

Surprisingly, this foulmouth is Gun Woo.

Where's Ms. Noh?

Come out, Ms. Noh.

I said, "Come out."

Let's head in.

Hey, your dad told you to come in.

- I'll prepare his room. - Okay.

You didn't know he was coming?

You're not supposed to come today, are you?

I came a day earlier.

Have a seat. Oh, have you eaten?

Probably not. Look at the time.

Is that right? Take a shower upstairs.

Ms. Noh, please prepare dinner.

What are you doing?

Yes, ma'am.

You don't have anything to eat either, right?

Do you want some,

my son?

Do you think I can't buy what I want if you tell me not to?

It's dinnertime, sir.

Do you want me to hang it?

I'll be out soon. Get the rice ready.

What happened to Grandma?

That's...

It was her who wanted to leave, so how could we possibly stop her?

She would never leave without telling me.

She quit right after you left, saying there was no point in staying.

If so,

I can bring her back, right?

As you wish.

How dare you come in here?

I know this isn't my house,

and it's just a corner room by the kitchen,

but still, this is my space...

Not even an invite to sit?

Have a seat.

Be honest.

What happened in this house during the three years I was away?

I came here to get the money for the drinks,

and Ms. Seo said I was good with babies and asked if I could raise San.

With nowhere to stay and no money,

my dad ended up stealing money from my friend.

So I took a job and asked them for a room and food.

I also asked them to pay me double for doing housework and raising San.

That's how I ended up...

right here and right now.

That's all.

There's nothing more.

Did I ask anything about you?

Who said I wanted to hear your story?

- You're not Mr. Kang's son, are you? - Yes, I am.

You saw them bullying her, didn't you?

They gave Grandma a hard time, right?

Here it is.

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

- Excuse me? - You're...

fired.

You're fired.

Get out.

You should have known your place.

I'm the madam, and you're a maid.

How dare you act mighty when you are a maid?

Although you'd worked for the family for over a decade,

you should have known better.

What have I done wrong?

Why are you firing me?

Grandma will return soon to work here.

Go back to where you belong.

I'm in charge of managing this household.

If you fire a good maid like her so suddenly,

who do you expect to cook, clean, do the laundry,

and take care of San from tomorrow?

That's your job.

Do you think I have nothing else to do?

You think I got married to do that?

- Stop it. - Get out!

Do you want to see me going crazy?

Stop! All of you!

You're a man!

You spent three years studying in the US.

Now, you should be concerned with bigger matters!

So why are you getting involved...

in maid affairs as soon as you return?

A maid is a maid!

She's nothing but a house cook!

Pack up and go back to New York if you're going to act like this.

Right now!

Ms. Noh!

Ms. Noh! Don't leave me!

Ms. Noh!

Ms. Noh, don't leave me!

Ms. Noh!

Don't leave me!

Ms. Noh, don't go!

Ms. Noh, don't go!

- Ms. Noh! - Get out of my sight.

- Get out. - Ms. Noh!

Youths are eligible to purchase lottery tickets...

from January 1 of the year they turn 19.

- So please wait a bit more... - What took you so long?

Hurry.

and buy lottery tickets legally.

This lottery-winning show is being broadcast live.

- We'll begin... - Hand me the ticket.

drawing numbers for this week's lottery.

We'll begin drawing numbers now!

Soon Geum!

- Here. - You just need all the numbers to win,

- regardless of the order. - Are you okay?

It's in the right pocket.

Right side?

He's announcing the numbers now!

Hurry up!

- The first ball is... - Right side?

a blue one, and it's 19.

The second ball is gray.

We got 19.

- It's 36. - What was the next number?

- Did he say 36? - Now, it's the third ball.

- I have a good feeling about this. - It's yellow.

- It's ten. - Okay!

Here's the fourth ball.

It's yellow again. Number seven.

The fifth ball!

- The fifth ball is red and 22. - What's wrong?

The sixth ball is yellow again.

The sixth ball is yellow...

We lost again.

What's the last number?

- The last number is... - Hold on.

- nine. - Hey. What's wrong?

Did Ms. Seo do something?

You never cry! What's going on?

Did Mr. Kang do something inappropriate?

Come on! What are you talking about?

I got fired.

- Who fired you? - What?

- Mr. Kang's son. - From New York?

He came back today.

He fired you as soon as he got home?

Why would he fire you out of nowhere?

Did you put sand in his rice?

He's usually so gentle that everyone calls him a panda.

Right.

I know.

Tell me about it.

That's what I mean!

(Check for 1,000 dollars)

I had to kick her out to bring Grandma back.

How could they fire you like this?

What are you going to do from tomorrow?

(The 334th 1st-place winning ticket for Victory Lottery was purchased here!)

(The 334th winning ticket for Victory Lottery was purchased here!)

Make me some food.

Let me also try the food someone else cooks for me.

I guess your family is on a trip.

- My family? - For how long?

My family, my foot.

I don't have a family.

They're not my family but a pain in my neck.

They treat me less than dirt on their shoe, okay?

Give me some food. I'm hungry.

Please give me food!

Dad.

Start working at the office from tomorrow.

You remember it, right?

You said you'd clear my name when I came back.

What's the point of that after all of that time?

If San goes from being your son to mine,

no good will come for you.

You have to split my assets with him.

You'd get 50 cents instead of a dollar.

Are you sure you really need a brother?

Did you think I'd be hung up on your money?

You should be.

It's not a trivial sum, you know?

Still, that doesn't make your son mine.

My son, I want...

to give my everything to you.

Trophy is asking for help.

Who wants to go?

Assisting her for just 100 dollars doesn't feel right.

Right?

Think about all she's done to Soon Geum all along.

Let's not do it.

- Okay. - I agree with you too.

For our friend, we need to teach her a lesson.

She deserves it.

- You're totally right. - Indeed.

Hey, get up and eat.

Are you crazy?

It's my dream to be fed in bed.

Goodness!

Ji Min, Come here. Let's eat!

- Okay, Mom! - Good.

Let's eat.

There aren't many side dishes.

Open up, Ji Min.

- Chew well! - Chew well!

Open up!

Good girl!

Hey! What did you do with the money I sent?

Is this dried radish green dish all you can afford?

How do you expect Ji Min to grow properly with this?

What did you just say?

Is this how you've been running the household?

I can't believe you just said that.

- How dare you! - Dried radish greens? Seriously?

And look at her clothes!

She looks like a beggar. Is she my daughter?

She's yours!

How can you even call yourself a mother?

I did everything I could, okay?

You didn't give me much money to start with.

And even if you had,

did you really think I'd spend my friend's maid earnings on luxuries?

You could do that if you were me?

I know how hard you worked for that money!

What's with you today?

Enjoy your meal.

Please get Soon Geum for me.

(Romance Town)

Live like how I lived back in your age, then.

- Yes. - You promised.

I admit we're both rude.

I admit we're both unsympathetic and ill-mannered jerks.

Oh, let me introduce him to you.

He's just a jobless neighbor.

What are you doing here?

That's what I want to ask.

Only the first-place winner gets the money from the headquarters.

How much is the winning prize?

It's 14.2 million dollars.

It's 9.5 million dollars after tax.

I'll pay you 500,000 dollars more.

Let's make it ten million.

Give this to me.

Get her!

She's like a mother-in-law!

Who does she think she is?

Goodness!

Look at the grape-size pearl of your ring.

- Excuse me for going to the bathroom. - Hyun Ju!

A concubine can't stand another concubine.

I saw it coming.

I want a new car.

I want a card with no limits too.

Good that you mentioned it.

I was going to do that, anyway.

Grandma.

Hey!
