Episode 21

Father, Mother...

If you do not approve of our marriage,

I will not leave. Please approve of our marriage.

Of course, we don't have any reason to object.

Mom...

Don't bother listening to him. I'll explain everything clearly to you later on.

Get out! Quickly!

No!

I want to make it all clear. Why wont you let me?

Do you really have to do this?!

Won Mi, I don't want to hear from you.

What is the matter? Please tell us.

Oh! Dong Gyu oppa!

What? Oppa?

Mom, he is not the dentist.

He's the exam-taker who's been following me around.

What do you mean?

Won Mi.

You two follow me to the room.

Is that the truth?

I'm sorry.

My goodness, so ridiculous!

So the person you mentioned previously who dated an exam-taker four years her junior,

That was you?

Huh?

I'm sorry.

Mother,

Although I'm not amounting to anything much at the present moment,

But my heart for Won Mi is truer than anything else.

So I want to...

Stop saying Won Mi this and that. She's four years older than you.

There's no need to carry this on.

Leave right now. Don't even think about seeing Won Mi anymore.

Don't say anything else.

How long have you been in the army?

Till now, six months.

Gosh! It's ages more before you finish.

And your education?

When I'm done with the army, I'll start year 4.

This is too much...

If Won Mi agrees to be with me,

I'm confident I'll finish the exam even faster.

You're making it sound so easy!

Honey!

Is this something the two of you have agreed upon?

Why ask that? Stop speaking about something impossible!

Student, no, soldier boy, there's no way you can be with Won Mi.

Get back to your position quickly and go do what you're supposed to do. Hurry!

Mother,

Both of us are truly in love,

- Please approve. - Don't say any more.

Dong Gyu.

What's the use of crying? You're the root of all this trouble!

Jun Woo, our guest is leaving. See him out!

Mother!

Stop this. Jun Woo, what are you doing?

Please don't hold this against my mother,

Yeah.

I beg of you, please stand with us.

We're fighting this alone.

Please go back now.

Then, I'm counting on you to help us out.

So pitiful.

Let's go in.

Are you normal? You must be crazy!

Where did all your maturity go?

It's not like this, mother.

He is very pitiful, he can't do without me.

Are you still in your stupor? What's so great about him? What?

That's right. He's only an exam-taker and an only son on top of that.

Unni, it's better to be like me, right? Still a virgin at forty...

Shut up!

Why get mad at me?

Yes, I think so too.

You're already at a marriageable age but he's still too young.

He needs a lot more time to get stable but you can't wait that long.

Anyhow, you take some time to think about this.

What's there to think about? Stop imagining things.

If you insist on seeing that soldier,

You and I will go and die together, you dumb girl!

Find one before you grow old.

Aunt, why are you joining in too?

Mother is quite scary when she's angry.

She has very high expectations of her own children.

But the two of them are so in love, so why does mother object to their relationship?

For a good marriage, just love alone is not enough.

What's lacking then?

If you want to get married, you'll need a house, a car, living expenses etc.

Then after getting married, the couple works hard to earn money, won't that do?

It's true but just the thought of noona having to suffer,

of course she's worried.

That is no suffering at all.

For me, as long as I'm with you, no matter what I have to do, I'll be happy.

Is that for real?

It's late tonight so we can't do our lesson.

Let's start tomorrow, shall we?

No, we said we'll start tonight. Please teach me now.

You're not tired? You've been working the entire day at the factory.

I'm alright.

Got it. Then let's start with a little tonight.

Okay.

What's the first Korean sentence you most want to learn to write?

Kang Jun Woo.

Kang Jun Woo.

Kang Jun Woo,

So your name looks like this.

In the Korean language, there are 10 vowels and 19 consonants,

The consonants are...

Kiyeok.

Nieun.

Tigeut, Rieul

Mieum

Pieup

Siot

Ieung

Jieut

Jin Joo.

As long as I'm with you, no matter what I have to do, I'll be happy.

Don't blame me for how you became like this.

You should think of what you did to me first.

If that's not enough then blame it on having poor, useless parents.

Those with sons die in the plane,

Those with daughters die in the kitchens,

Those like me working hard everyday, will surely die in giving lessons.

Here, what do I have on Wednesday?

Forget it, I won't go.

I've talked enough about it during lessons.

And on that day, I'll be very busy.

Make this one a free day for me.

Have you forgotten?

On that day, after the bath, I have to prepare the delicacies.

It's the day for Sung Il to change name, right?

Quick, drink up this red ginseng tea.

This just doesn't go down well with me, must I drink it?

It's very good for diabetes. Drink up. That's an order.

You're really the super wife recognized country-wide.

You're the wife, the mother, the stylist and even the doctor.

Recently I've added on another one, coach for my daughter-in-law.

Don't be too hard on her. It must be tough on her too.

Counsel her a bit more.

Don't worry. She's got good brains so she'll give it up quickly.

Recently she's been trying to adjust to the family. I'm starting to like her.

That's very good. What are you doing today?

I'm so busy.

The company's celebration function will be here soon. There's so much to prepare for.

This is Ji Young's first appearance there, so of course, we'll have to dress her up for it.

Turn around,

it's too glamorous.

You don't like it?

Try a different one.

Then...

Yes, with a little more coverage...

Hm... no.

No, these won't do.

You're not the main focal point that day, must you be so glamorous?

You have to go with something that doesn't stand out but yet elegant.

I'm sorry, mother. Why don't you choose for me?

Fine. Please give us the one I selected the other time. Let her try that one.

Yes, I understand. Miss Lee!

Here it is, Mrs. Kim.

- Help her. - Yes.

Try it on and see.

Yes, mother.

Your daughter-in-law is quite unlike the young ones these days,

she seems so trustworthy and well-behaved.

Of course.

No matter how the world changes, the eldest daughter-in-law will always be the same.

That�s right.

This is my office.

Strategic Technology Director, Kim Young Min.

So how does it feel to take on a new role?

I won't let you be disappointed, I'll try my best.

We intend to develop the Strategic Technology group as our main focus,

Our company's future will depend on you, you have to work hard.

Yes.

If only Ji Young came on board as well, she's a real talent.

Father.

I know.

I'm glad she bore with it all until now.

This is your blessing, our family's blessing as well.

You're here to pick up the delicacies, right?

You're still young after all, you haven't forgotten!

Didn't I tell you, my heart is still 28?

You look really good. Ji Young is treating you very well, right?

Recently there's peace in our household. We've resolved everything.

Do you know whose blessings this is?

Of course.

I will forget all those things in the past,

you should forget them too.

Thank you for making the compromise.

Why do you have to say that?

Father will be back early. We should go home to prepare dinner.

Oh, she even worries over these things.

She's really make it to be a successful person.

But when one makes a sudden change, something else will happen.

Aunt, she hasn't changed, but she has gained awareness, that's all.

That's best.

Let's go. We have one more stop to make.

What's that?

To protect the uterus. It's a special concoction to remove stress.

Do I have to have that?

The madam has given specific instructions.

I see.

I'm injecting it now.

Since her uterus is rather weak,

she has to take medication and come for acupuncture.

For how long?

To re-tune the body, it takes about three months.

Of course it's necessary.

She has to be healthy so as to have a child quickly.

What's that?

A magnetic blanket, it helps to conceive.

And what's this?

You and I have to take this herbal treatment starting from today.

Mother says this will help us to have a baby soon.

Mother and you went to the Chinese physician today?

Every week I have to take injections and even go for yoga too.

You have to do that?

Why are you laughing? I'm so mad about that.

Why get mad?

I'm going to be 31 next year.

You're almost 30 too. Wanting a kid now is a little late already.

Am I some baby-making machine?

That's not what I mean. It's better sooner, right?

It's still too early.

I don't even know who I am anymore these days.

Don't be like this.

I love you so much, yet you're saying such silly things.

If you continue behaving well like this, I will pluck the stars from the sky for you.

I know.

What's good for you, is good for me too. Let's sleep.

You want some red wine?

No.

We should try this out, right?

When I heard news about you in Chicago, I was terribly afraid.

I dumped the man I loved and chose this marriage instead.

In order for me to survive on my own, this was my only way out.

Money will ensure my happiness, but everyday I live in hell.

I was really going crazy.

So you're regretting it now?

No, I don't regret it.

It was my decision but it hurt someone else.

So I have to prove that I was right.

Ahjussi! Ahjussi!

He suffered nosebleeds...

Won Mi, has he contacted you?

No.

I'll say it again.

If you see that soldier again, you should just burn incense for me.

Why do you speak in such extremes?

Since we've made ourselves clear, Won Mi will understand us too.

Will someone who understands even date such a person?

Anyhow, he certainly won't do. Not even if I die, get it?

I second that.

Me too.

I get it.

Pass that to me.

No need, mom.

Aunt!

Here it is.

Won Mi, I'm really worried about you, please call me.

This jerk!

- Hey, Sae Mi. - Huh?

You, don't go anywhere today. Keep an eye on your sister, don't let her out.

Mom, then what about my classes?

Why do you bother with classes at such a time?

Unni, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on her.

My life is such... one trouble following another.

You really make me worry for you. How can I live?

Mother, there's still one good news.

Good news? You're pregnant?

Not that!

Recently, ahjussi has been working hard to look for a job.

Every night, till 2 or 3 o'clock.

Honey!

Is that the truth?

That's so great.

Is that why he knocks off work earlier these days?

I think I'll have to cut down on his delivery time now.

Thank you. This is all thanks to Jin Joo's efforts.

Oh, this is great.

Where are you off to?

Why didn't you wake me up? I'm supposed to be at the factory.

I'm off.

Wait, I have a request. You must promise to agree to it.

What request?

You promise me first.

I have to know what I'm promising, right?

Promise me first then I'll tell you.

Alright, what is it?

From today on, you don't have to go to work anymore.

You're fired.

What?

From today on, I'll be going to work by myself.

Jin Joo!

To tell the truth, the factory really needs me,

I have to be the translator for Vietnamese staff,

and I make better noodles than you.

So?

You're only good at studying.

From today on, just stay home and prepare for taking on a job.

You don't even have enough time to study.

That makes no sense, I'm off.

Didn't you just promise me? You should listen to me.

You're no superwoman, as it is.

Your job is enough to tire you out.

It's not tiring at all. I've done a lot of it before so I'm confident.

And since I enjoy making the noodles, I don't find it tiring at all.

We just managed to get you better.

But, what if you worked too hard and suffered a relapse?

That will make me worry more so just stay home and study, alright?

But...

Ahjussi, hurry and get a good job, so then I can enjoy.

I want to enjoy as soon as possible, so you'd better stay home and study.

Ahjussi, you're going to let me have a good life, right?

Ahjussi!

Professor, look who's here.

It's been a while, professor.

Oh! Who's this?

Welcome. Come and sit.

Yes.

What happened to you?

I haven't heard from you for three years.

I'm sorry.

I heard you were sick.

I'm happy to see you healthy now.

What are you doing here?

I'd like to find out about getting a job and at the same time, seek your help.

Then, you have yet to...

Yes, I'm starting now.

All this while, it must have been hard on you.

So, which areas are you hoping to get into now?

I'm interested in companies which invest overseas.

Oh that's right. That was the topic you were interested the most during school days.

And your grades were very good too.

If you work hard at it, I'm sure you'll have good results.

Let me check around then I'll give you a call.

Thank you.

Yes. Yes, yes. Delivery in the morning.

Yes, we'll do that. Yes, thank you.

Boss, haven't you knocked off yet?

Yes, Jin Joo is our lucky star.

She's great at collecting payments and took orders too.

Yes, that's right.

Tomorrow morning, Hong In Supermarket ordered five boxes of our noodles.

So we'll have to deliver that.

Ah! And now I can run the steam machine by myself.

What? How?

Father taught me.

She kept pestering me to teach her and being so smart, she got it right away.

I'll just observe for a few more days, then I'll let her take over in future.

But that is such an important task, how can it be given to just anyone?

I, myself, did it for more than 10 years and I still make mistakes.

Don't worry. I have the confidence to do it well.

Yes, teach her everything you know.

She's getting ready to be the boss of this noodle factory.

Yes, I got it. I'll just do as you say.

Father, ahjussi seems to be in a bad mood.

He's always been like this, just ignore him.

Yes, teach her everything you know.

She's getting ready to be the boss of this noodle factory.

Don't use machine to knead the wheat.

Use a wheat hammer to do it instead.

Jin Joo! Jin Joo!

Ahjussi!

Have you eaten?

Yes, I ate jjajjangmyun with those in the factory.

You really tired, right?

No, you must be really tired. I can walk on my own.

Don't move. I've made up my mind to carry you.

Your back is very warm.

I... went to look for my professor today.

I've sent out my resume here and there,

checking around everywhere.

There'll be good news soon.

Wait for me. I'll make sure you have a happy life.

Why no answer? Are you asleep?

I told you the story of the waterbirds, right?

You've been my waterbird, carrying me on your back the whole time.

Finally today, I'm carrying you on my back.

Just wait a little more.

I'll carry you with my strong legs all the way till we get there.

Yes?

Mother, the car is ready.

Yes.

Wait, do you think you're ready like that?

Why? You don't like this?

On such an occasion, who wears necklaces like that?

Yes.

Here.

Come with me to the jewelry shop next week,

Let's get you some necklaces to go with your clothes.

Thank you.

There'll be many wives of local and foreign dignitaries, be careful not to make any mistakes today.

And don't stand out too much, understand?

Yes, mother.

Fine, let's go.

Sae Min, when did you buy that dress?

Young Soo oppa bought it for me.

He invited me to his father's company function today.

Company function?

Was it a formal invitation?

Yes.

Wow! Sae Mi's is going to become the young mistress of a rich family.

You even got invited to such an occasion.

Well, an opportunity like this is hard to come by.

I should say yes to him. I'm off.

Wow! Thanks to Sae Mi, our Kang family will get to enjoy some family honor.

Yes, that's the way to marry.

What a contrast!

Why are you acting like this?

What's wrong with you, aunt! Ugh, whatever!

Are you all ready?

Yes, father.

Work hard.

Becoming a global enterprise... welcome everyone.

And now, the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Cutting.

We will now show you the company's promising future.

- We want to thank you again. - Thank you and congratulations!

- Father. - Oh.

This is my son. He's in charge of Strategic Technology.

Young Min, say hello.

He is the Trade Association's President Kim.

Hi, nice to meet you.

You studied aboard for an MBA, right? Not bad, I have high expectations of you.

Thank you.

Hello.

Daughter-in-law.

Say hello to the Vice President of the Business Women's Association.

Hello.

We met at the wedding dinner, right?

She's so smart, I thought she'll be doing some big business.

I didn't imagine she'll become a housewife.

Anyhow, be a good wife and help your husband.

Yes, thank you.

Is your daughter married?

Don't mention her. She has set her sight so high up,

that no man is good enough.

I didn't know your family business is this big.

Now you know? I'm a rare find.

Stop it.

Oh yes, oppa, your sister-in-law doesn't look too good.

My sister-in-law? She seems fine.

Congratulations! I heard you joined Finance dept.

I'm too busy, no time to even die.

But, she's really good at making money.

You know my job doesn't have a long life span, right?

A civil service staff is the most enviable of the lot.

Stop comparing left and right.

The most enviable is of course Ji Young.

No matter how successful we are, we can't compare to the wife of a rich family.

Am I right, Ji Young?

Yes, you're right.

I'm the most successful.

If I knew Young Min was this rich, I should have worked on him instead.

Anyhow, thanks for coming today. Studying in Chicago feels like just yesterday.

And I'm glad to see everyone's doing so well.

Are you alright?

You seem to be drinking too much.

Oh! I need to go to the restroom for a while.

[Strategic Technology Dept]

Strategic Technology Director Kim Young Min

Why do you have to work?

Because I really want to and I believe I can do it well.

Not everything in this world can be done just because you want to do it.

Where did Ji Young go? There are still some people here I need to introduce her to.

She's not back yet?

She said she needed to go to the restroom.

I'll go look.

Yes, please do so.

Sister-in-law!

She's not in the restroom.

Is that so?

Thanks.

Where could she have gone?

Ji Young! Ji Young!

What do they do? She's been with them a lot lately.

I think they're rich family.

Something about the harbor...

Mom, tell me the truth, you're happy with that, right?

It doesn't have to be that kind of family.

Although they're better off than the poor families,

but being so rich, will they even respect us?

Well, she did say she can't live without Young Soo.

On the one hand, they're too rich. On the other hand...

Have you sorted out your feelings yet?

I'm still working on it.

When will you grow up?

You see with your own eyes how hard my life is and yet you still want to marry that kind of man?

I know, mom.

I'm really suffering still so please just stop here.

Although you might not want to listen to what I'm saying now, but it's really for your own good.

He wants to find a place in society.

Even if he passes the exams for adults, he'll need at least 7, 8 years.

What will you rely on for a living during that time?

Although being young is good but if he's immature, you'll have to suffer.

I told you I understand.

Just look at me, I forgot! I was boiling the soup.

Won Mi! Won Mi!

What's this sound? Is he crazy?

Gosh! Oh dear! Are you crazy?

Where do you think this is? How dare you look me up here?

I'm going crazy for not being able to see you. What else can I do?

Seeing you here is making me go crazy! Scram!

Won Mi!

Over here, quick!

Won Mi!

This kid, where did she go? Out? Won Mi!

What should we do?

- Shoe! Shoe! - What should we do?

Here, get in.

Be quiet. Understand?

Won Mi!

Yes, mom. I'm here.

Oh, what were you doing here?

I came to get this.

I though you went out. Come over quickly and pack up the vegetables.

Yes.

What's that sound?

Suddenly I felt like sneezing.

Did you get the flu?

Mom, my head hurts a little.

Mom, it's not like this.

Hello.

This is ridiculous. Get out before I call the police.

Mother, I can't live without Won Mi.

Just take me as someone else, save me!

Won Mi, what are you doing? You tell her quickly too.

Ask you mother to let us get married. Won Mi!

Mother... Won Mi!

I'm sorry. Didn't I tell you already? I can't marry you.

You heard that? You know her intentions now.

Get out right now! Hurry!

Aren't you tired recently?

No, father. Learning one thing after another, it's fun.

Is that so?

You're really surprising.

Jin Joo is very capable and her customer service is excellent too.

There's noodle-making factory in Vietnam too. When I'm doing it, it feels like home, so nice.

Ahjussi, let me prepare the ingredients for the noodle-making at dawn.

What?

I just need to get here an hour earlier. Ahjussi, you get to sleep a bit more.

Hey listen up.

I've been working at this factory for more than 20 years,

I've never let anyone else mix the ingredients.

You're saying you want to do it?

Yes. It's been hard on you all these years getting up early.

From now on, you and Jin Joo can take turns.

You get to rest too, isn't that great?

Yes, father, let's do that.

Yes, great. Applause!

No, but...

Isn't it great? From now on, you get to sleep in some more in the mornings.

Oh! Will that girl from Vietnam continue working here at the factory?

Isn't that good?

As a foreign worker, she gets along well with the staff and the working atmosphere has been improved too.

Is that so? It's good then.

Today is pay day. What are you going to do?

This lady is really...

I'm getting paid so what's that to you?

I'm dying to recall the taste of the soup we had last time and I owe you one earlier...

Hey, ahjussi*! (*his nickname for her)

Since we're at it,

I'll tell you straight. Are you planning to destroy me?

I thought I was going to die while drinking that soup. What did you put in there?

Well...

I'm warning you, don't come anywhere near my hostel, you hear me?

This guy is really too much, wait!

How about a change of taste?

Do you like kimchi soup?

Hello?

Who is this? Cha In Kyung?

Ah! But what's this about?

Kang sunbae*! (*senior)

Long time no see, sunbae!

Nice to see you again.

Wow! Is this a dream?

You really are Kang sunbae, aren't you?

What's up? You even called me up.

I paid Professor Min a visit and heard from him.

He said you're interested in foreign investment, is that right?

You must work in our company then.

I'm working at CMP now.

Is that so?

I was thinking of sending my resume there.

I heard they are taking in eight new staff.

Really? We're really destined.

Let's see how it goes.

They're looking for experienced people, I'm not sure if I'd get chosen.

Shall I tell you the secret to passing the interview?

Secret?

You give me a treat today then I'll tell you.

Jin Joo, you're still busy?

No, father, I'm almost done.

Here, this is your first monthly pay.

Father, thank you.

Initially I wanted to put it in Jun Woo's account.

But I think it's better to give it to you directly.

Yes, it's great. Imagine holding onto money like this.

You've worked hard this month and you've been a great help to me.

Father.

You should get off work earlier today and go on a date with Jun Woo.

Eat something nice and watch a movie.

Yes, I will.

What exactly is the problem?

Someone who was perfectly fine...

Why did she collapse suddenly?

After the checkup, there's nothing wrong with her physically.

I thought so.

But she's been on painkillers and tranquilizers for a long time.

What?

It seems the patient has gone through a huge crisis.

Or I should say as a result of the crisis,

she's now suffering from a mental condition.

Anyway, there needs to be more thorough checks to get the final outcome.

She's starting to lose the hair at the back of her head.

Anyhow, if this continues, it will worsen into a depression.

Oh gosh!

Gosh! This is ridiculous!

What is it she has to suffer that she's losing hair and onto tranquilizers?

So many are envious and eyeing the role as a daughter-in-law in our family.

She's given the opportunity and she should be grateful.

So why the major dissatisfaction that she even faints?

I was just commenting why the last two months have been so quiet.

Why is she bringing trouble to our family everyday?

No, could she be up to some plot or something?

She acceded to everything so I just knew something was strange.

I knew this would happen.

What do you mean?

I told you, right?

Ji Young is different from you.

This is something you have to accept now.

Honey! What are you saying?

The patient suffered a major stress.

Do you also think that I'm selfish and incorrigible?

And I'm a burden to those around, hurting them?

I don't understand why I have such strong desires within myself.

Ji Young.

I will do as you say.

Please tell father that I won't be working in the office.

Are you alright?

What happened?

Don't you remember? You fainted.

I'm sorry.

Because of me, the mood at the company function was spoilt, right?

It was alright. It went well. Don't worry.

Mother and father knew about this too?

Mother must be very angry, right?

I said it's alright.

No, she must be very angry. I'm fine now, let's go back.

Ji Young.

Are you happy?

Tell the truth.

Are you happy now?

I don't know, honestly.

As I told father, this is a process,

A process of letting go of myself. It'll get better.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. I didn't know you've suffered this much.

What's this?

Presents for mother and father.

Presents? Oh, let's have a look.

Oh!

That was mine and this is... It's beautiful.

It is?

I heard that in Korea, the first month's pay is used to buy red underwear for parents.

Today, father gave me my first month's pay.

We got red underwear too.

Wow! Let me see. This is the underwear worn by old ladies.

Size 100.

Gosh! Is aunt's butt that big?

Wait till you're old, you'll become like this too.

Jin Joo, thanks for your presents.

But next time, don't buy these. Buy something for yourself.

Also, no matter how small the amount, send some over to your mother.

Yes, this is your hard-earned money after slogging for the whole month.

So don't bother with what others say, just send some money over, understand?

Yes, father.

But, unni, what present did you buy for oppa?

It's a secret.

What? A secret? Dying to know.

Yes, why isn't he home yet?

Your resume's well written and your grades are good too.

With this, you're well qualified.

The problem is I don't have any experience.

As long as you're willing to work hard, the rest is not important.

How did you know?

At that time, I was crazy about you.

Thanks for helping me like this.

Oh yes!

What's this?

Information on our company background and some details about the past year.

I think this will be useful to you.

I used this for my interview too.

So meticulous.

Thanks. How am I going to repay you?

Get the job then repay me slowly.

Thanks.

Go on in, sunbae.

You go too.

Kang Jun Woo, I love you.

That lady...

Sunbae, are you sleeping yet?

Did she like you already while you were still in school?

I'm not sleeping yet.

Just think what you want.

You're impossible to talk to.

Live a single life and do the things you want.

Things can't go on like this.

Can you be happy?

That is the only way.

What on earth is happening?

The eternal Teacher Ho.

Grandma, let me have a part in this business.

Is that person in charge again?

Please help me, father.

You sure have guts!

Grandma!

I'm not interested in a woman like you.

A rich unni?

Something happened. I met my destined friend today.
