Original subtitles

You should go to bed.

Good night.

Did you drink?

Why are you turning red?

Why do you hate me?

I like you.

I like you.

Is it because I'm a maid?

Is it because I'm your family's maid?

I'm going to give it to you straight...

because I owe you once in my life.

You've heard of the word "reality checks," right?

No.

How about the saying, "Don't aim too high"?

That sounds even more challenging.

"Don't you dare covet what's out of your league."

"Don't you dare..."

"even try to be my partner."

So that's what the saying means,

- right? - Yes.

So, you're saying...

- I dare reach for the stars? - Bingo.

Basically, I dared to dream big, am I right?

I thought we were more like birds of a feather.

- "Birds of a feather?" - Like attracts like.

Why did I even try?

What makes you better than me?

If you can come up with one solid thing that you're better than me,

I'll admit we're on par, birds of a feather, as you said.

Money?

- Family? - What family?

Well, my step-cousin's friend's neighbor's aunt's next-door neighbor...

once was a millionaire.

That millionaire is my uncle, by the way.

Education?

Job? Income?

- It feels like we're on a blind date. - What?

Like we're in some hotel cafe,

sizing each other up.

Who's winning?

"Who's losing?"

"Will it be my loss or my gain?"

Like calculating the merits and demerits.

You know,

if we survive this round of comparisons,

are we getting hitched?

We both know Uncle Rich. Then, we must be in the same league.

Unbelievable.

Do you want some honey tea?

What day is it?

Wednesday.

I guess I can let it slide...

since the countdown is on.

"Don't aim too high?"

Young Hee.

Are you sleeping?

Yes, I am.

Why did you take this out?

I'll begin teaching San Judo starting tomorrow.

Young Hee.

- What is it? - Someone said she liked me.

Who?

Who is she?

- Not Si A? - No.

So you called me up at this late hour just to brag about that?

Open that mat.

- What are you... - You little...

So, who is that lady who has a crush on you?

- There's somebody. - Do you like her back?

No.

Then what's the point? It's nothing but a hassle.

I enjoy being loved...

by whoever it is.

Back when I was heavier, no one seemed to return the sentiment.

I really longed to have someone who likes me.

I've never experienced that before.

Geez.

Then, what about me?

The smell of sesame oil is so good.

What brings you here at this hour?

Do you want some music while you work?

No thanks. It's distracting.

Let me help. I'll sprinkle salt for you.

You will get oil on your clothes. You should stay back.

- I'm good at this too. - Just go away.

You should just help Da Kyum.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Let's go watch a movie together tomorrow.

I get really sleepy when I watch a movie.

The theater is really dark.

So, as soon as I take my seat, I start nodding off.

It feels like such a waste for me.

Have you never been on a date before?

Were you asking me out on a date?

- Yes. - You should go home.

Is Gun Woo sleeping?

Why do you ask?

Who cares?

You're dropping salt everywhere.

Get out of the kitchen.

Go now.

Someday, it will end

This green youth

Just like flowers that wither and bloom again

On the night

When I yearn for solace

With a glass of drink

On an anonymous street

Mr. Kim!

- This is awesome. - We're home.

(From Yu Chun Jak, To Kang Gun Woo)

(Dearest Young Master, How's the weather in New York?)

By the way, our stuff doesn't really match the vibe of this house.

Should we get a big TV or something?

I wish we had a bed too.

Also,

shouldn't we have a couch here too?

Look at your face.

Do I sound like I'm asking you to buy them?

That's not the case, so relax.

Do you want me to buy them?

Are you crazy, wanting to throw money away like this?

Let's say I am.

Do you want it or not?

Just pick up the phone.

Maybe Trophy wants you back already.

(Roasted Chestnut)

Hello?

What are you doing on this fine weekend?

I'm eating jjajangmyeon.

I want to introduce you to someone. Do you want to come?

Who are you talking about?

She's someone I think of as my own grandma.

Her name is Yoo Chun Jak.

Where is she?

Do you want to come?

Ms. Noh.

Ms. Noh.

Ms. Noh isn't home today, San.

You shouldn't be missing her already.

Promise.

I told you I could pick you up.

No, it's okay.

So where is it? You said it was near.

It's not that far.

The boat ride will only take 40 minutes,

so we can return today.

You don't need to worry.

Jangbongdo Island is her hometown.

It's my first time going there too.

I will bring her back home, no matter what.

- Are you alone? - Yes, Ms. Seo.

Are you looking for my dad?

No.

I wouldn't have minded it if you'd kept it longer.

No, I enjoyed it enough.

I want to get one for myself.

- Could you pick one out for me? - Sure.

By the way,

why did you break up your engagement?

The guy kept asking for my dad's money endlessly.

- How much? - Well...

Enough to buy all the houses on First Street.

Does he have that much money?

Even Mr. Kang asks my dad for money when he's in urgent need of it.

I haven't said this since my elementary school days,

but I'm sure my dad is the wealthiest one on First Street.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Is anyone here?

Is this not the right place?

Are you looking for Chun Jak?

She's probably digging up clams at the sandbank.

Then, this is where Ms. Yoo lives, right?

Where is the sandbank?

You have to ride the boat. It's pretty close.

You should've stayed there.

I could've come to take her by myself.

Are you okay?

This is probably how I'm going to die.

I guess I'm going to lose my maid job.

And I'm not going to make the roasted chestnut sprout too.

What good is money...

if I'm on my way out?

Geez. Love? Forget about it.

Are you really okay?

I'm fine...

I'm so sorry for forgetting to tell you...

to dress casually.

This seasickness is killing me.

Over there.

How cool.

We're almost there. Are you feeling better now?

Grandma.

Sir.

Sir?

Where is Grandma?

Lately, she's been showing up here every single day.

Maybe she didn't come today.

Excuse me?

Perhaps she decided...

to head to the mudflat today.

Sir, she nearly failed to make it here because of seasickness.

You can't just say that now.

How could you say, "Maybe she didn't come?"

It's okay.

I'll give you some clams that are as big as my palm.

Wait right here.

Come on!

This looks like a whole new world.

He is so unreliable.

Gun Woo.

Once you find Grandma,

what are you going to do with your current maid?

She promised she would walk away when Grandma came back.

I'm sorry for putting you through all of this.

You'll be able to find her, right?

Of course.

I want to meet her too.

I wish I would be the one with seasickness on the way back.

- Try this. - Geez. You scared us!

What about me?

It's good.

- It's delicious. - Aren't you glad you came now?

No!

Grandma?

- Oh, my. - Grandma!

Who is this crazy lady?

Grandma, please.

It's nice to meet you.

It's been so long, Young Master.

- Grandma. - Young Master.

Grandma, I was ready to travel to the ends of the Earth just to find you.

Grandma, are you all well?

Didn't you miss me at all?

What have you been up to all these years?

Oh, my.

Why didn't you come back home to see me?

- This is... - Let's go, Young Master.

Go ahead.

Aren't those fancy fellas rich enough to buy gutless fish?

Oh, they're just tickled pink by watching us hustle.

They'd probably stuff extra guts...

into these anchovies just to see us scramble.

It's a real stinker.

You pronounced it wrong.

And why are you gutting all the shrimp?

You're doing it all fancy for Mr. Kim?

- Tell me about it. - I thought you were mad at him.

I heard shrimp innards are bad for your health. That's why.

Does Mr. Kim know how much sweat you pour?

He only knows how to take it for granted.

We are the caboodle of fools.

We slave away on these buffoons...

while others chow down on our handiwork.

It's just plain unfair.

I wonder how Chun Jak's lasted that long, dealing with all this madness.

Geez. Don't ask me.

She never cared a bit about the family...

and did as she pleased her whole life.

- She must've had no complaints at all. - That's true.

Had she still stayed in that house,

it would've been tough for Gun Woo to find a bride.

Chun Jak wouldn't find any girl likable.

I agree with you on that, Soo Jung.

It's hot.

These surf clams are fresh and healthy for you.

- Help yourself, Young Master. - Okay.

That one looks well-cooked.

I look just like Soon Geum without makeup.

Si A.

- Yes? - Grandma says dinner is ready.

- You should come out and eat. - Okay. I'll be right there.

I'm wearing Grandma's baggy pants too,

so don't be shy and put on some comfy clothes.

- Ms. Yoo, let me do it. - That's okay, miss.

A woman should be able to make her man feel comfortable.

Women look most beautiful without makeup.

This isn't a fashion show, is it?

Are you going to sleep with makeup on as well?

Pardon?

Are we sleeping over tonight?

Oh, actually...

Are you trying to make him feel uneasy?

What a bad habit a woman can have.

I suggested he stay over,

but I guess that's not what you're keen on.

Should we go back home today, then?

Feel free to swim your way back. There are no boats left for you to catch.

There are no boats...

Young Master, you better gobble it while it's hot.

We need another set of chopsticks.

- I'll get them. - No. I can do it.

This looks delicious.

Did you actually brush your teeth?

Look at your red lips!

Are you hiding your true self beneath all that makeup?

You're quite sneaky and pretentious.

You're not the type to take care of your home...

and make your man feel cozy.

I can sense it from your getup.

And why won't you wear my clothes?

You must be out of your mind, wrapped up in luxury like that.

Look at you with that caked-on makeup.

You seduced Gun Woo with all that phony performance?

Don't even think about fooling my innocent Young Master into anything!

- Grandma. - Don't underestimate the island breezes.

You'll end up catching a cold.

It's been ages since I heard you nagging.

Put on some socks,

and grab a jacket.

I did tell you to wear a jacket, didn't I?

Have you played go-stop before?

Yes, I have since I was in high school.

I began playing with the ten cents per point bet...

after I finished high school.

Since we don't have much to talk about,

why don't we play it, then?

I don't have any coins now.

Could you break my bills?

Mine too.

There's nothing for me to get.

Ms. Yoo, this double junk is for you.

Is this meant to be a charity for me?

Do you see me as some sort of beggar?

Young Master, you can get it. I've had enough.

I'll get it, then.

Si A, did you major in go-stop in college? How come you're so good at it?

Should we wrap it up for now?

The betting is creeping over five dollars.

Five dollars?

- What will we do with that? - We can buy a lottery ticket.

Let's not bother with this round.

It's time to ditch the pocket change games.

We should play it in Jangbongdo Island senior center style.

How do they roll on Jangbongdo Island?

They go all out, clothing-wise.

If you score under three points, take off the pants.

Three points or more, it's shirts off.

What?

Grandma.

We can't play that with the young miss around.

Oh, quit playing a good guy.

I'm pretty sure you're into this more than I am.

Anyway, I'll make sure she takes those uncomfortable outfits.

Let's start.

I go first since I was winning.

The double score rule will be applied as well.

Hello, I'm Im Soo Young, the host of the lottery show.

Last week, there was a winner...

The total sales amount of the lottery this week was...

I always see a whole new side of you when playing go-stop.

- It's no fun if you're being all gentle. - Of course not.

- Let's get started. - Mine are all bad.

- I'm out. - I'm out too.

Congratulations to the winners.

You'd better be ready to double the score.

There she goes again.

She said it was the secret victory trick...

only the maids on First Street had the lowdown on.

Right, Ms. Yoo?

It's time to unleash my secret weapon.

Oh, my goodness.

Who taught you how to play go-stop?

I learned it from my dad.

Grandma.

Ms. Yoo.

Wait, you are...

Grandma.

- What are you doing? - Wait.

How could you do this? How could you trick him?

What exactly are you after?

Money? Why? For what?

I'm sorry, Ms. Yoo.

Do you have feelings for Gun Woo?

Is this because you lack confidence?

Is it because you're a maid?

The clams are all cooked.

How dare you!

Put a stop to this now immediately.

You should leave that house.

I'm Mr. Kang's wife.

Are you out of your mind?

I apologize for being late. Traffic got the best of me.

Welcome, Mr. Hwang.

We've picked out a white wine.

Could you select a red one for us?

Something robust would be fitting for tonight.

I didn't expect to find you here.

I'll be back later.

He's quite hot-headed. You better decide on one quickly.

Okay, then.

Is your cheek okay?

I was a bit too impatient.

You're also quite the coward.

You haven't tried a thing for the past three years.

Would it be okay for me to try something?

How about this wine?

But that's the bottle...

my husband has kept to open on the day he retires.

It's Romanée-Conti 2002.

I'm sure you know its value.

This one seems suitable for tonight.

What wine shall we enjoy...

Mr. Hwang, that's...

It's worth around 20,000 dollars.

It's inappropriate to uncork a plain bottle...

when your lovely wife is with us.

I heard you've kept this for the day of your retirement.

As far as I know, my retirement isn't today.

(Check for 10,000 dollars)

I'll cover the cost of the wine.

Mr. Hwang.

- Let's raise our glasses. - What shall we toast to?

Cheers...

to brave men.

Cheers.

Do you know how hard I've been searching for you?

I had my reasons.

What reasons?

I heard you got fired right after I left.

So, how did you send these letters?

Si Ah, are you asleep?

- No. - Young Master.

Yes?

I thought you wouldn't be able to focus on studying if I didn't reply.

So, every day, I'd swing by, slip the letters in your mailbox,

and then put them back.

Really?

You should go to sleep now.

I'm feeling sleepy myself.

I should hit the hay.

When I was feeling lonely and tired there,

these letters encouraged me so much.

They mean the world to me. I will never forget about them.

I'll take care of you for the rest of your life.

I won't even let you pass away.

Good gracious.

Did you really say you won't even let me die?

How long are you planning to keep me on duty?

You have to come with me tomorrow morning.

Okay.

You promised.

Absolutely.

I feel relieved now.

Si A.

What is it?

Why do you sleep on your side, away from us?

Just a habit.

Ms. Yoo.

If the opportunity arises,

I'll come, dressed more casually,

cook you noodle soup,

let you win at go-stop,

and even give your legs a massage.

Should we stop seeing each other?

Why?

Do you mean it?

You don't know anything about me.

If you're going to talk like you're in a dream,

just go back to sleep.

You might end up disappointed if you get to know me better.

I'm scared.

Geez. Stop.

I know it's cowardly,

but I'd rather run away before facing any consequences.

How dare you.

You're a tricky one.

Why would you run away after making me fall for you?

I debate whether to hold your hand and kiss you.

I'm constantly gauging how you feel and trying to understand you.

This is the best part. Why would you want to escape?

But whatever.

I fell in love seeing you feeling queasy, so I won't let you slip away.

You were so sexy even when you were seasick.

I want to keep seeing you with your mouth full of vegetable wrap.

So, I can't break up with you.

It is an absolute blast.

Don't you smell something good?

I do.

Grandma must be cooking rice.

I can eat it every day now.

I guess so.

Ms. Oh.

Can you get some good pork and make bossam?

Also, make some kimchi with pear and chestnut to go with it.

Ms. Kim told me to buy beef and make dumpling soup for dinner.

All right, then.

Just the dumpling soup, then?

Make both.

You looking down on me just because I'm a concubine?

Sorry? No way.

You think it's okay to ignore my orders...

when Soon Ok and I both have demands, right?

You maids spent the whole night reveling and boozing,

backbiting me and Soon Ok.

But you can't find time...

to whip up dumpling soup and bossam?

- What's the ruckus about? - Geez.

You saw her last night, didn't you?

You heard her trashing you and me along with the other maids, right?

When she got cozy with them, they ordered chicken.

She was having fried chicken half-plain, half-marinated,

saying it's like Chi Guk, who splits his time between you and me.

That's how she talks about us to the other maids!

Is this true, Ms. Oh?

Ma'am, we've never ordered chicken. We've only got pizza.

My goodness. This is unbelievable.

Tell the truth. What else did you say?

What other insults did you throw?

We never order fried chicken.

Stop lying, you wench!

Unbelievable.

If we wanted, we could dismiss all of you in one go.

Don't forget that.

I didn't know you were slandering us behind our backs...

and lying low when we were around.

That's not true, Ms. Kim and Ms. Oh.

Did you liken us to half-plain and half-marinated chicken?

How dare you!

Summon all the maids we saw yesterday.

I went easy on them,

but we need to teach them a lesson while Mr. Jang is away.

What are you doing? Get them here now!

Right now? Okay.

Call them in one by one. So they can't hatch any plots.

- Don't tell them about this. - Of course not.

They're all here.

Where is the maid from Trophy's?

Right.

I'm not quite sure.

Tell me honestly what you ladies eat when you hang out.

What we eat when we gather up?

Tu, you start.

We mostly mix leftover side dishes...

with rice.

Or we whip up Korean pancakes with leftover kimchi.

I didn't ask about that.

What do you order in usually?

What you usually order in!

We've gone for pizza a couple of times.

You've ordered fried chicken, right? Everyone does that.

Fried chicken?

It's not really my thing.

What about you all?

So you don't go for fried chicken?

Oh, my goodness. Stop lying to us.

All right then, let's say you did.

What kind of fried chicken would you pick?

- I'd go for the marinated one. - What about you?

Marinated one.

How about you?

I don't really like marinated chicken.

I prefer crispy fried chicken.

Then, what about you?

She's asking you.

Oh, me?

I'd get...

plain fried chicken.

So, it's a draw.

See, Soon Ok? What I said stands true, right?

Now that each of you has answered it, we get the story!

So you'd go for half-plain and half-marinated, right?

Don't forget about Soon Geum.

Whenever we hit a pub, she's all about the plain one.

When we can't decide, we settle it with a majority vote.

Right. If 3 of us are craving plain and 2 for marinated,

we'd get plain chicken.

We'd never order half and half.

We'd rather skip it altogether than divide it in two.

It's quite self-centered to split a chicken into two...

just to accommodate different preferences.

The poor chicken wouldn't be happy about it either.

I know it's just a chicken,

but it would give it a headache trying to please both sides.

That's why we're not so into the half-and-half chicken thing.

We need to talk privately.

Soon Ok, that's not the point here.

May we make our exit, Ms. Kim?

Where is it?

Why is he making all the fuss now?

What about Ms. Yoo?

- Young Hee. - What is it?

As you said, I think Grandma is avoiding me.

Did you even find her?

She made me believe she'd come along,

but she was gone when I got up in the morning.

I'm sure she has her reasons.

Could she have a boyfriend?

No chance.

No guy would be into her.

I'm the only one who's hanging on to her, hopelessly infatuated.

There's no one other than me who cares for her so deeply...

and keeps trying to have her back!

- Gun Woo. - I really don't get what's on her mind.

Hey, calm down.

It's not like I'm firing the current maid because she's inept.

She's actually quite skilled.

She's a good cook. She's like a wonderful maternal figure for San,

even though she hasn't been married.

I said, cut it out.

I won't bother looking for her anymore.

I bet you'll be searching for her again tomorrow.

He's completely lost his mind.

What were you doing last night? You didn't come home.

Did Gun Woo come home?

He just got back.

Why do you ask?

Life just feels...

hot, spicy, salty, and sour. That's why.

Do you want some? It's iced tea.

Gosh. It's sweet.

- It is, right? Isn't it nice? - It's so sweet...

that I feel so happy now.

Soon Geum.

How about I make your life even sweeter?

Join Gun Woo and me for a movie night tonight.

He said he wanted to go with you.

Where did you place the outfit we got from the dry cleaners?

I can't find it anywhere.

I will look for it again.

I'm saying it's not there.

What's wrong with her?

Here.

What do you want?

Lift your arms up.

Raise your arms up now.

Put the skirt up...

as if you're wearing it.

Do it now.

Stop.

What are you two doing in my dressing room?

What are you doing? Hang them up.

Okay, ma'am.

Are these your outfits?

Yes. But why?

Nothing.

I know you moved into a new place, but don't be so sluggish.

But go prepare dinner now.

Okay?

Okay, ma'am.

Wait, you are...

- Ms. Yoo... - How could you do this?

How could you trick him?

What exactly are you after?

Money? Why? For what?

Do you have feelings for Gun Woo?

Is this because you lack confidence?

Is it because you're a maid?

How dare you!

You need to put a stop to this now.

You should leave that house.

Do you want to head to the drive-in theater with Soon Geum?

I'd be even more delighted if Soon Geum could come by herself.

Hey.

Let me see your face, not just your back.

Do you want to go watch a movie?

This was my first time going to a drive-in movie theater.

But why does it have to be a rainy day?

Do you want to eat there?

It's our favorite restaurant.

Ms. Noh, you've never been here, right?

You're well-off. Couldn't you treat us to something nicer?

A restaurant where we have to stand while eating?

Seriously? Standing the whole time?

Nobody asked you to come.

Why are you even here instead of being at home?

Let's go in, Soon Geum.

Welcome.

We're your go-to knife sharpeners on wheels.

We are the masters of sharpening.

Whether it's kitchen knives, fruit knives,

swords, or whatever you have, we handle everything.

We have strong men on the job.

We handle the job with meticulousness and care.

Is that Mr. Kang Tae Won's house,

the one Mr. Hwang sold the lottery ticket to?

Yes, sir.

Make sure Mr. Hwang never finds out about this.

Of course. Are we ready to go now?

We are the masters of sharpening.

Whether it's kitchen knives, fruit knives,

swords, or whatever you have, we handle everything.

We have strong men on the job.

We handle the job with meticulousness and care.

Our experienced team, composed of professionals, will...

restore your decades-old knives to their original glory.

Here come knife sharpeners.

We're your go-to knife sharpeners on wheels.

- Why couldn't I find it earlier? - We are the masters of sharpening.

Whether it's kitchen knives, fruit knives,

swords, or whatever you have, we handle everything.

- Why is she never around when I need her? - We have strong men on the job.

We handle the job with meticulousness and care.

- What's that at such a late hour? - Our experienced team...

There aren't many knives in this neighborhood.

Are you, knife sharpeners, having a special dinner tonight?

I'm sorry to ask.

- Hey, Soo Jung. - Hey.

Okay.

(Knife Sharpeners)

Why did you come here yourself? Where is Tu?

She injured herself.

How? Is she badly injured?

Could you go and check on her?

I will keep an eye on your knife.

Sure. I'll do that.

- Boss. - This is a residential area.

You shouldn't have barged in like this.

I just missed you, so I came with the guys.

- Is your daughter doing well? - Yes, thanks to you.

My wife is really happy that I quit being a gangster.

You even bought me three trucks.

So I wanted to thank you properly.

I'll lead a good life from now on.

Head up.

- Head up now. - I will never forget your kindness.

I said, head up now!

(Knife Sharpeners)

Why are we all feeling so down?

I know, right?

Listening to that song on a rainy day is...

even tastier than the meat.

Is it because I'm here without an invitation?

Not at all.

Help yourself, Da Kyum.

The food is great here, even though my legs are aching a bit.

Why aren't you eating? Are you okay?

It's just a bit spicy.

Soon Geum.

It's because of the briquette, isn't it?

No, it's not.

I need to go to the bathroom.

You should follow her.

Just give her some space.

I remember her telling me...

that both her mom and grandma passed away on the same day...

due to the smoke of briquettes.

Her mom kept feeding her water kimchi soup right up to the end,

trying to save her, but she didn't make it.

Did you have to bring her to such a place? Darn it.

Mom.

What should I do now?

What do I do, Mom?

I miss you.

I miss you, Mom.

Si A.

Yoon Si A.

Should we stop seeing each other?

Thank you for everything.

So this is...

how my first love ends.

(Romance Town)

We should date.

I didn't just ask you out because I was having a good day.

Two-timing is what those without confidence do.

Who is this again?

San's mother?

It's the son.

It's Roasted Chestnut.

I'm alone.

Da Kyum, you can't just steal love.
