Original subtitles

Mrs. Choi, your house is absolutely beautiful.

Find the bathroom okay?

You can speak Korean. Her Korean is very good.

Oh really? You raised your daughter well.

Thank you.

Now Mrs. Choi, take a look at this.

This is known as the "Hermes" of carpets... Emerald Green.

It's a classic pattern straight from Paris.

When you walk across this carpet, you'll feel luxurious.

It'll be great for your bedroom.

It looks nice.

For a stylish woman like yourself, this is perfect.

I'll think about it.

Of course.

But don't think on it too long. This carpet is extremely hard to source.

It's been selling like hotcakes.

Mrs. Choi, I've been meaning to ask if you have a background in design?

Yes, I studied fashion design in college.

I knew it!

I could tell the moment I saw you. Your style is impeccable.

I thought you were a model!

Tell your mom I'll give her the rest later.

And this is for your hard work.

Do you really have to leave?

Tell Ara how much fun you had today.

Maybe next time, she'll tag along.

Okay?

Okay.

It's ten.

So?

Your Dad promised to bring you home by dinner.

What were you doing?

Dad told me to give this to you.

Go wash your hands. I made you dinner.

Not hungry.

Got something for you.

Thanks, Unnie.

Look how dusty it is. You call this a girl's room?

Hayoung, wake up. Do you know what time it is?

Wake up now.

Wake up, Hayoung!

Stay still.

I already showered this morning.

But you didn't scrub like this.

Do you know how good you will feel after this scrub?

Watch.

After today, you'll feel like a brand new person.

Wear this.

Why?

So we can go to hagwon.

My grades are fine without it.

You even said so yourself.

But you can always do better.

What about Ara?

Who's going to take care of her?

Ara has dance class and when she doesn't, she can come with me to my piano lessons.

That's not fair.

Ara's still young.

You have college applications next year.

Appa wouldn't make me go.

Well, your Dad doesn't make the rules anymore.

I'm not going.

Hayoung, you don't have a choice.

Ara, let's go.

And did you finish your homework?

No, I was up late last night.

Man, the teacher's gonna roast you.

Yeah, well, what's new?

Let me check in real fast.

Miss Chris.

Hi Joon.

- How are you today? - Wonderful.

- And you? - Wonderful.

Are you Hayoung's mother?

- Yes, I am. - Come into my office.

What college do you wanna go to, Hayoung?

I don't know. UCLA?

Aim higher.

Stanford?

Excellent choice.

To get in, you have to bring your score up at least

400 points.

You're late compared to other students.

But Hayoung's grades at school are good.

Actually, Hayoung's grades are average.

With grades like hers, Hayoung will end up at a state college.

For Hayoung, I recommend the 2100 Plus Program.

It starts at $3,000 for four weeks.

We have the best teachers, all Ivy League graduates,

who can provide round-the-clock support for Hayoung.

There's no place better for Hayoung than Miracle Learning Academy.

I thought we were going to Appa's.

Appa's not answering. You guys are coming with me today.

I'll be done with my piano lesson in an hour.

Study in the backyard and look after your sister.

Pre...

sump...

tuous?

Presumptuous.

You have to memorize all of these?

All 2,000.

Man, I never wanna go to hagwon.

Good luck with that. In a few years, you won't have a choice.

Not if I become a dancer.

Mm, not like that you won't.

I wasn't trying. I'll do it for real this time.

Ta-da!

Nice.

Let's go home.

Alright, everybody take your seats.

If you don't know where you're sitting, check the seating chart.

Steven, stop talking, go to your seat.

Alright. Let's get started.

Everybody, clear your desk.

Names and dates on top.

If you can't follow simple directions, how do you expect to get into college?

She said that she was a good driver. I swear, I don't know what happened.

That is not right.

Joon, Sam, Rose, late again.

Sorry.

Won't happen again.

Just take your seats.

Everybody's expected to come on time.

Unless you wanna spend more time with me.

James, I said put everything away, including books and notebooks.

Come on, guys, don't make me repeat myself.

Alright, you're gonna have 65 minutes to complete this test.

Beginning now.

Hayoung!

Unnie?

Why are we here?

Come in.

Come in!

Hurry along.

What do you think?

Not bad!

Better than a hotel, right?

See, I told you. There's nothing to worry about.

You guys must be starving. Let's go eat.

Over here.

I'll make a spot for you.

Ara, I brought your favorite, black bean noodles!

Say thank you.

Thank you.

Of course! I'm so happy you came today, Ara.

Let's dig in. Here you go.

Thank you for this meal.

Appa, does this mean you're not coming back home?

Your mom says she needs some time.

I get it.

I don't want to live with mom either.

Do you know how much your mom cares for you?

Yeah, right.

I'll see you when I pick you up from hagwon.

It's not the same.

I want to live with you and Ara too.

I'll be okay.

Don't worry about me.

I'll be home soon.

Okay?

What about this one?

Three bed, two bath.

Ara and I could have our own room.

Or you could have a piano room.

Looks nice.

Maybe if dad moves back in...

Hayoung, can you bring the dishes on the dining table?

Can we go this weekend?

What's wrong with our apartment?

It's old and crusty.

Well, get used to it.

It's all we can afford right now.

Hayoung.

Ara.

Let's eat dinner.

Smells delicious.

Dinner's almost ready.

Girls, come eat.

Ara! Come eat.

Come along now.

Sit here.

Look, Ara. Your mom made seafood pancake.

I prepared some special dishes today.

Ara, how was school?

Was it fun?

Hayoung, what are you doing there? Come sit with us.

Now, let's see what your mom cooked up for us.

Soondubu soup! Looks delicious.

I made Dad's favorite soup.

Have a good meal.

Hayoung, do you want to pray today?

How about you, honey?

You're so much better than I am.

Alright, I'll do it then.

Dear Lord, thank you for gathering us here today.

Thank you for keeping our family safe,

for this beautiful home

and for the bountiful love in our family.

Please continue to look over our loving family.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.

Number 17.

According to the passage,

which of the following adjectives best describes

Mrs. Mansfield's char...

Hey.

Hayoung, right?

I'm Rose. Thanks for saving my ass yesterday.

No problem.

Are you here for the whole summer?

Yeah.

How do you like it?

I know, I feel the same.

How long have you been going here?

Two years, but it feels like forever.

Mrs. Moon basically, like, brainwashed my mom.

Alright, break's over!

Come on.

- Five more minutes. - Come on, can we get five more minutes,

please, Mrs. Moon?

Okay, then we'll add five minutes after class.

Come on.

That's everything.

Good, good.

Let's go.

Cigarette first.

Pick the lucky one.

Why do you smoke?

It's bad for you.

Which lying bastard told you that?

Literally everyone.

Want to try?

What do you think? It's nice, right?

Good, now you will never do it.

Never.

It's good to try new things.

That's how you figure out what you like and dislike.

I hate the taste, but like the smell.

Why the smell?

Because it reminds me of you.

Okay, let's go.

Hey, do you wanna come over tomorrow?

- I'll ask. - Okay.

Alright, let's take a break. Come back in five minutes.

What'd you get?

1,860?

I've never even got past 1,700.

What about you?

That sounds great. We can get started next week.

Henry Teacher sucks.

I've never had this much homework in my life.

If my scores don't improve next week, I'm screwed.

- Are your parents strict? - Yeah.

My mom went to school here, UCLA. That's why she wants me to do better.

But it's not like she uses her degrees anyway.

She just mooches off my dad.

What does your dad do?

He's a lawyer.

They met in school.

They're so obsessed that I go to a good college

and, ya know, carry on the family's name or whatever.

I'm sure you'll get in.

Have you seen my scores?

They'll get better.

Well, I have to get better or I'm doomed.

What do you mean?

Promise you won't tell anyone?

Promise.

Your mom or your dad?

My mom. My dad doesn't really care that much.

I can help you.

I have enough tutoring, okay? I'm hopeless.

Not that.

- Did you look? - No!

- Okay, what did you get? - 1,880. You?

I'm scared to look.

1,810?

My mom's gonna freak out! 1,810! That's insane, thank you!

Yo, how the hell did you get an 1,810?

I'm just smart, I guess.

Yeah, right.

Hayoung, this is Sam.

Yo.

And Joon.

Joon's turning 17 this Saturday.

You know, my parents are goin' outta town, so I'm havin' a small party.

You should come.

I want to, but my mom's kind of strict.

Come on, we literally study all day every day.

She'll understand if you just take a little break.

Yeah, come through.

It would be more fun if you're there.

Okay, I'll figure something out.

Should I pick you up?

I'll text you.

It's the gated house at the end of the road.

- You won't miss it. - Okay.

For your house, this beautiful brown carpet would look great.

Is this what people buy these days?

Yes, this color is extremely popular.

And if you want a slightly different style, here are some

other carpet colors would match your house perfectly.

Hey!

Should I go in and say hi to your parents?

- I barely got them to say yes. - Okay.

We should go before they change their minds.

- There he is. - Hey, y'all made it.

- Come in, welcome. - Thanks.

- You look great. - Thank you.

- Oh, you look good too, how you doin'? - Thanks.

Y'all get anything to drink yet?

- Nope. - Perfect.

- You got a drink too. - Yeah, I brought this.

Okay, I'll get the shots ready and get on the way.

Okay.

Come on, Hayoung, let's go.

Hey, yo, Joon, look who showed up.

Let me get y'all the shots real quick.

- No. - Yes, y'all need to catch up.

You ready?

Cheers.

Gonna drink that or what?

Come on!

You got it.

- Oh, hey! - Yes!

Alright, let's see what else this party's got to offer.

Okay.

No, that was way too close.

Oh, come on, you would've loved it.

- You wish. - Oh, really?

- So what, it's just me? - Yeah.

Where's the bathroom?

It's up the stairs, to the left.

You want me to come with you?

- No, I'm okay. - You sure?

Okay.

Alright, alright. Let's reset this

and let's just play another game.

No.

Hey, there you are.

Rose thought I should check up on you.

She was passed out a minute ago.

Yeah, that's Rose, you know?

She's just up and then down and then up and then down, just...

Hey, you wanna see a trick?

Okay.

Okay. Close your eyes.

Why?

Just trust me.

Let me see your arm.

Can you feel the difference?

Open your eyes.

My Umma forced me to learn how to write with both hands.

Somehow she thought it would, like, make me smarter,

but not sure that it actually helps.

- That's easy. - Oh, really?

- I bet I can learn it in a week. - Okay.

Bet.

You're home.

Why are you coming home so late?

We had a lot of homework.

Come here.

Let me get some water first.

Yeah?

Come sit with me.

What were you doing?

I told you. I was studying.

We have a lot of homework.

What's your friend's name again?

Rose.

Are Rose's parents okay with you staying this late?

Yeah, her parents are cool, they don't care.

Still, it's not polite to stay this late.

Why do you care?

Because I'm your mom.

Hayoung.

We can't afford to make mistakes like others.

In this life, we only have each other.

I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

Slow and steady.

Keep this pace.

You're nearly a professional.

You're doing great.

Does this mean you'll buy me a car?

A few more lessons and then we'll see.

That's a yes.

When I was in Korea,

I used to go hiking every weekend to clear my mind.

The breeze up top felt just like this.

I wish I could go.

Next time, I'll take you with me.

Close your eyes.

So?

Not good enough.

You serious? It's identical.

Yeah, it needs a little more work.

This is a scam.

- You just felt... - Alright, alright, alright, you win.

Which one do you want?

I'll go for the dolphin.

Alright, good choice.

Where do you want it?

Looks good.

One day, I want a real one.

You know, I could give you one.

- No way. - Yeah, my cousin taught me how.

We could get matching ones.

The author uses the word "we" throughout the passage mainly to...

What would be the best choice for this?

Anyone?

Take a look.

Your place later?

Can't.

Alright.

Appa, where are you?

Hayoung, I'm so sorry.

I don't think I can pick you up today.

Can you ask your teacher to drop you off?

Why?

I'm still in line at the bank. It's taking longer than I thought.

What?

Appa, I can't hear you.

You'll ask your teacher for a ride, right?

What are you doing that you're so busy? You can't even pick up your kid on time?

Excuses, excuses. The same old excuses.

You never keep your promises.

Then call the telephone company or get a new phone.

Figure something out. It's not that hard.

I'm sick of you making the same old excuses.

Hey, Ara, wanna check out this new song?

M'kay.

Man, that was brutal.

Hey, let me get some of that.

Hey, but what's goin' on this weekend, though?

Hayoung, what about your place? Your house looks so pretty.

Yeah, we've never been.

I don't think that's a good idea.

- We're remodeling. - Who cares?

We can just hang out in your room.

Once it's finished, I promise.

Okay, I probably should just stay in and study anyways.

We have testing on Monday.

Miss Goody Two-Shoes.

Sorry for wanting to get into college.

Hey, I never said it was a bad thing. I mean, ambition is pretty sexy.

Okay, let's go. Come on.

Yeah, let's get out before Mrs. M comes in.

- Yeah, before Mrs. M comes in. - Get me out of here.

Freedom finally!

Dude, I'm starving.

Let's get some burgers or something?

Oh, that sounds good, dude.

Hayoung, what do you want to eat?

I don't know.

It doesn't matter.

Your mom seemed really upset that I didn't pick you up.

It's fine.

You know I didn't do it on purpose, right?

I promise, I won't do it again ok?

Yeah.

Should we pick up black bean noodles?

I want tangsuyuk.

Okay, Ara.

Double order of black bean noodle and sweet and sour pork?

Okay!

I will be back!

- Why are you so mean to him? - I'm not mean.

You barely talk to him. He gets sad, ya know?

Why? He's the one who left.

He would've stayed if he could. You know he talks about you all the time?

If you're nicer, I'll ask him to come to your recital.

I don't want him to come.

Really?

I guess it could be fun.

You'll try?

You ready?

Does it hurt?

Sorry, we don't have much at our house.

It's okay. This is plenty.

Why didn't you tell me you moved so close by?

We didn't want to bother you.

I know how busy you are with the restaurant.

What do you mean? We are family.

How is your husband?

Oh, didn't I tell you?

He got let go a few months ago.

Sorry to hear that.

No, it's better this way.

He's been helping out around the house more.

By the way, how's the piano teaching business?

Is it doing okay?

It's been a bit slow.

It's always tough to start a new business.

My brother isn't helping?

Well, he helps when he can but...

I know he's my brother but what is he doing?

He still acts like he's 20. The little prince.

He tries when he can.

Still, it must not be easy.

Raising two kids, all by yourself.

I miss hearing pianist Lee Ji-Soo play.

It's been a while since I've played.

What a waste.

Do you girls know what an amazing piano player

your mom is?

It's not much, but hope it helps.

I feel like we always burden you.

It's okay. That's what family is for.

Also, if the piano business doesn't work out,

there's always a spot for you at my restaurant.

The pay isn't much,

but it could be better for you and your girls.

Promise you won't tell anyone?

- Promise? - Do you swear?

Yeah?

Okay, promise you won't tell anyone.

- Promise. - Okay.

Wait, no. You and Joon, are you guys a thing?

Not officially. We just hang out here and there.

Let me guess, he showed you his tattoos?

I'm only telling you this because you're my friend, okay?

Just be careful.

Careful how?

Joon's a good guy, he's a good friend, but everyone knows that he's a player.

Like, everyone.

His longest relationship is a month.

What I'm trying to say is he's done this before.

With who?

With anyone who gives him a little bit of attention, okay?

As soon as he finds someone new, he's gonna drop you.

Just don't take things too seriously.

I don't want you to get hurt.

Appa!

Wait, Rose.

Fuck.

- Sorry. - My mom's gonna kill me.

- I'm sorry. - Stop saying sorry!

Is this because of what I said about Joon?

What? Of course not.

- Because if it is... - It's not.

I just had a lot going on.

Like what?

Family stuff.

You never told me.

I don't have to tell you everything.

I tell you everything.

Whatever, I'll see you later.

What is it?

Joon?

- What is it, let me see. - Hang on, give me a second.

Hayoung, be quiet.

Hayoung!

Hayoung, is something wrong?

No.

If there's something wrong, you can always tell me.

There's nothing.

Okay. Let's get ready for dinner.

Appa.

Where were you Friday?

Friday?

I called you, but you never answered.

Really?

My phone's been acting strange. What a piece of junk.

I should change the service or something.

Where were you?

Friday?

I was here at the office.

Why? What's wrong?

It's nothing.

- Hey, don't drop it. - Stop!

- She got it, she got it, she got it. - You want me to lick it?

Hey, don't drop that, alright?

Man, Joon, you takin' big boy puffs.

I'm sorry.

'Kay, do a little bit of that.

Hey, Rose, you want some of this?

Alright, you're gonna have 65 minutes to complete this test.

Beginning now.

How long has this been goin' on?

- Once. - Only a few times.

Okay, I'll go get Mrs. Moon.

- No, please. - Please don't, Teacher.

What's the point of cheating?

You're just wasting your parents' money.

It was her idea.

What was that?

What?

"It was her idea"?

Well, it was.

I was only trying to help you.

Don't act so innocent.

What are you talking about?

What is it?

We went to your house the other day.

Hayoung,

we know.

I talked to Mrs. Moon.

Since you only have a couple of classes left,

she will let you stay.

I'm sorry.

As long as you learned your lesson, it's okay.

We'll keep this between us.

Deal?

Deal.

Over here.

Come over here, Ara. You can sit here.

Sorry we're late. There was so much traffic.

Mom, you wore make-up.

Oh, yeah. Is it weird?

No, it looks good.

I already ordered for us. Hope that's okay.

Of course.

Excuse me, could we have some more onions here?

You didn't even finish the ones we have.

I wanted to order in advance because I know how much you love it.

Thanks for thinking of me.

Now, let's eat.

Thank you for the meal.

Ara, if there is anything else you want, we can order it.

Aunt Suki will give us a discount.

Is it your birthday?

His birthday's in December, stupid.

So? He could be celebrating it early.

No, it's not my birthday.

But we do have some news.

Your mom and I have been discussing this for a while

and now it feels like the right time to tell you.

What is it?

I'll be leaving soon.

Where?

Seoul.

When are you coming back?

It hasn't been decided yet.

What does that mean?

My business is slowing down in America

but there's a good opportunity for me in Korea.

The good news is that the car is yours.

Nice, right?

When are you leaving?

This Sunday.

I know it's sudden,

but your mom and I decided that this is for the best.

Why can't you try harder here?

I've done the best I can here,

but this thing called a business it's tricky.

You're abandoning us.

What are you saying? I would never abandon you.

You know what?

You're a coward.

Ya know what?

I'm glad you're leaving.

We don't need you.

Hayoung!

Hayoung!

Umma.

Hayoung, what are you doing outside?

Is something wrong?

Why didn't you tell me?

I could have helped you.

Studying hard at hagwon and getting into a good college

are the ways you can help me.

Hagwon is a waste of money.

If you study hard, it's not a waste of money.

What about piano?

You love playing.

Hayoung.

To me, the most important thing is you and Ara.

Everything will be worth it

if I can see you and Ara happy.

Let's go inside.

Ara, let's go.

Ara?

Ara, you okay?

We should go, we're gonna be late.

I'm not going.

Why?

I promised Umma we'd meet her there.

She's gonna be waiting all alone.

I'm going to mess up.

You'll be great. You've been practicing all summer.

Appa promised he would be here.

He left us.

Even if he's gone,

Appa said he will always be there for us.

He's a liar.

When Umma and Appa lived together, they fought all the time.

I thought you were mad too.

I was...

but I realized that

after we moved away, Umma became a lot happier.

But we will never be a family again.

Even if he's not here

we are still a family, okay?

I like the three of us.

We make a good family.

Oh, bro, that's weird.

Wait, wait, hold on. He was really makin' out with her.

Now you have psycho all over you.

- Stop it. - That's crazy.

Alright, you know the drill, everything away.

Last test of the summer.

I expect you all to get over 2,100 unless you want

to spend another semester with me.

Sixty-five minutes starting now.

Umma. Give it to me.

I'll help you.

What a beautiful sight.

Must be nice to have a daughter like that.

Yes, I'm lucky.

Hi Appa.

How's Korea?

Worse than here?

Hayoung.

I'm working hard so you and Ara can visit next summer.

I'll take you to my favorite spots and buy you guys the most delicious meals.

Deal?

Deal.
