Episode 2

Please forgive me, Dad.

Request to withdraw from school on Monday.

You don't deserve schooling.

A student must behave as a student, but you didn't.

They made fun of my name.

How could you deceive us!

Forgive me.

Are you going to say "forgive me" if you kill someone?

Should I beat you up every day and say sorry afterward?

There are lots of young people, who don't have money to continue their study,

who have to earn money to support family.

You don't deserve the luxury, little brat.

Don't call me that.

Why not?

Foul words don't go with you.

Do they go with you, then?

With an angelic face, you're so foul-mouthed, aren't you?

But I'm still young and immature.

That's why you've received schooling, but you don't change.

I will change, I promise.

You already broke it.

I'm not tolerant with habitual promise-breakers.

There's always an exception.

But this is not the case.

Exceptions are allowed when thing are beyond our control.

What's your "beyond your control?"

I felt stuffed and overwhelmed.

You could refresh yourself around the yard.

If you hate to study, fine, just quit.

I'd rather give your tuition to another poor student.

Drop out from the school next Monday and come to my office.

I'll pay you. You can work as a janitor, a waitress, or whatever.

Honey, she's hitting puberty.

So? You're hitting menopause.

Which is harder to bear, puberty or a menopause?

She didn't enter menopause yet.

You expedite me to start the process.

I know you get sensitive at puberty, but your behavior of today can't be justified.

Everybody goes through it, but not like you.

In my adolescence, I had to struggle to survive.

Dad, I was wrong.

I'll not make a trouble again.

You heard me when you were advised to transfer.

Just once more. I'll keep my word, Dad.

You know I am mentally unstable because of my name.

And you gave me that name.

What's wrong with the name?

Nothing wrong in your perspective.

But please change my name.

There're many pretty names.

If you could only change my name, I'll live upto my name, gracefully and kindly.

I'll promise to go to the top college, too.

Be a human being first.

Did I ask to go to an elite school? You are a human manque.

If you had the right mind, you would be thankful regardless of your name..

I will change. I mean it.

Terry, make sure she withdraw from the school.

Honey!

Dad!

Honey, please. It's my fault.

I failed to bring her up appropriately.

I'll discipline her from now on.

Your only fault was to pass your beauty onto her.

We gave her family and comfort, but she's so unthankful.

You saw her beating up girls.

How could you use your strength to beat others, while you never clean up your room?

I was struck on the head too...

Shut up!

Honey, hold on. Let me answer the phone.

Hello.

Oh, hi, how are you?

He's home.

One moment please.

Honey, it's Mr. Kim.

Which Mr. Kim?

Of International Air.

Please calm down.

Hello.

What time is it?

10: 50.

Are you going to see Mom tomorrow?

I don't know. I don't think I'll be nice to her.

Me either.

Just sleep. Pimples might break out on your face if you lack sleep.

I'm desperate to get married to escape from our parents.

I know. I really wish things are going well with you.

By the way, are they expecting a large dowry?

That's the case for matchmaking.

We marry for love.

I feel our family is inferior.

We are not. We're only poor.

I'll just take basic dowry with me,

and compensate for the lack as I live.

You sure will, since you're smart and wise.

You too. You are cut above me in every aspect.

A cut above got into a trouble today.

Trouble?

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

What is it?

Did you have affairs?

No.

Then what?

You know Mr. Kim, the producer of my drama.

Isn't he married?

We'll talk tomorrow.

Yes.

Are you still up?

Yeah.

Did you have a drink?

Just a little.

Mother, what is it with the father?

Goodsoon stirred a big trouble.

How?

She sneaked out and...

Mom, don't talk behind me.

I'm talking family affairs.

Whatever. It's not anything good.

So you know it's nothing to be proud of, huh?

Then how could you mess around every day?

Not every day.

Tell me in your own words.

I had enough with Daddy.

I'm not gonna say it again.

What are you gonna do now?

It's up to you.

I'm old and tired of saving the situation.

Come on. Every parent goes through it with their kids.

Kids grow and learn the lesson from troubles.

That's normal.

My, your brother's never caused a trouble.

Maybe in the future.

You never know.

You don't stop yapping...

Also, better to beat up than be beaten up.

Did you fight?

Yeah.

Someone picked a fight with me, so I was just teaching them a lesson.

Mom and Dad caught me at that moment.

They're freaked out as if it's the end of the world.

I can't believe she's my daughter.

I know. Why not have a DNA test?

You might have had a switched baby in the hospital. Right?

Mom, you have my trust.

A glass of cognac, please.

Okay.

Good night, Daddy.

It was Mrs. Kyungnam, Mrs. Joohee Bhang.

Next, entry no. 15.

Mrs. Seoul, Mrs. Heja Pi!

Welcome.

So, you are Mrs. Heja Pi.

I am.

Wow! You have an incredible body...

Is there any secret?

I exercise regularly, and eat three meals a day.

What's your favorite food?

Vegetable and fish.

Ma'am!

You can't dodge the medical fees!

Did you get medical treatment?

No.

Why yes! You got a breast implant.

Give me the money! The fee!

I'll pay. I'll pay.

Hey, Heja.

Did you have a nightmare?

No.

Just a silly dream.

You'll pay what?

Mom.

Yes.

Do you have some stashed away money?

I don't have any.

Then borrow some. Around $6,000.

I'll pay you back in two months.

$6,000?

Yes.

What for?

The medical fee.

It can't be that much.

You only got some stitches and hospitalized for two days.

You don't know? Didn't they say anything?

What?

I got a real surgery.

What do you mean?

I had a breast augmentation.

Are you crazy?

I had to do it anyhow.

Who can afford your melons?

Why did you have to do that?

Small breasts have been my complex.

You're in your late 50's.

What's good for having big breasts?

A woman is a woman no matter how old she gets.

You said we should take care of our body.

You know I didn't mean plastic surgery.

What is done is done. Don't preach.

You are hopeless.

Sangsik and the kids will be shocked.

So?

And think of your mother-in-law.

She fussed about it all day yesterday.

She has no portion in my life.

Oh my...

Don't give me that dreadful sigh.

I'm gonna wear pretty tight shirts from now on.

Good morning.

Hi.

Valet parking?

Stay current on news and get familiar with the faces of big names.

Okay.

We are professionals as well.

I see,

Goniziwa Irasshaimase. (Good morning, welcome)

Goniziwa.

Can you recognize the Chinese and the Japanese only by their faces?

Of course.

When will I become like you?

That's our VIP.

Remember the license plate number.

Good morning, Mr. Chairman.

He's our new staff.

Give him a respect.

How are you?

You have a good impression.

Thank you.

I'll see you later.

Is he a CEO?

Yes.

Who is it?

I need to use the restroom.

I'm not done yet.

Ok.

What?

I can't hold it.

If you urge me, you'll only delay me.

Do you have constipation?

What? Don't you think it's a rude question?

I really need to go bad. Please.

Put yourself in my position.

If you wait outside like that, it's gonna get worse.

I've waited in my room.

Excuse me. Sometimes it takes her 2~3 hours.

Oh my gosh. Really?

Yes.

I think I moved to a wrong place.

Can't you just go away?

I have a chamber pot. You wanna use it?

What's that?

It's a pot as big as this... Wait.

Sit on like this and do your thing.

There's no public restroom around this area.

It's okay.

She made it!

Wait a moment.

Why?

Oh, please.

You'd better go in after the air's refreshed.

It's alright.

We have hard time because of Mom.

Bad start from the morning.

Dr. Yoo wants to marry you if he has his mother's approval, right?

I think so. That's why he arranged the meeting.

Does he have a decent character?

Character?

Well.

He's polite and warmhearted.

And sometimes childlike.

Ouch, it's killing me.

Aren't Jade and Ruby coming?

Ruby has an appointment, and Jade went to grocery market.

Don't they even care about me lying sick in bed?

Why did you do that?

You don't know the woman.

You are not a woman.

Then am I a man?

You are the mother.

The mother is not a mere woman.

Can't you just hold your tongue?

Ungrateful girls.

Don't say like that. They're above the average.

I mean their character. They've gone to the bad.

You know why.

Go away, if you're going to get on my nerves.

Good luck.

Thanks. I might be home late.

Ok.

Where is my pretty girl going? A date?

No. To see a friend.

What did you have for breakfast?

Leftover.

I feel sorry for you.

What did she say?

Nothing special.

She couldn't sleep well because of pains.

I can't understand Mom.

Do you have 3,000?

Dollars?

Yes.

What did you buy?

I didn't buy anything.

Tell me the truth. What is it?

Nothing.

Then why?

We have to pay for the medical bill.

Did they charge $3,000?

No.

It's gonna be around $6,000.

Nonsense! $6,000?

I think you're mistaken.

Did a nurse say that?

Your mom had it again.

Implant.

How come the door is unlocked? It's not safe.

She must be out of her mind!

Let's talk later.

I'm going crazy.

Why?

Forget it.

Forget what?

What is it?

Let's go. I'll make some noodle for you.

Is it a secret from me?

What is it?

I don't have $6,000, not even $600.

I don't care whether she's discharged or not.

You mean the medical fee?

Let's go. I'll tell you.

My goodness.

I can't believe this.

How are you?

Fine, thank you. And you?

Uhm...

What, what's your name?

My name is Kyle Huntington.

Yes, yes.

My name is Joe Baek.

This is grandma, Myongja Gyol.

Her name is Myongja Gyol.

Oh, so your name means "swan" and yours "cassia."

What nice names!

Holy cow! Do you speak Korean?

Yes.

How come?

My mother is Korean.

I mean my stepmother, who raised me.

Grandma.

Ok.

Let's have a dinner - in my place.

It's not far from here. I'll invite you.

Ok, thanks.

Are you leaving?

Yes.

How come you look so tired?

Should I make some chicken soup for you?

It's okay.

My grandson is preparing for national exams.

He passed the first stage of the High Diplomatic Service exams.

He must be a brilliant guy.

Sure he is.

Grandma...

I'm telling the truth.

All my grandchildren are smart.

I know. They look smart.

Seems you don't have much to eat.

Kimchi alone is more than enough.

Kimchi?

My kimchi is delicious.

Yeah, right. No one ate your cubed radish kimchi the other day.

It's because of bad radish.

I'll bring my kimchi and pickle for you.

Oh, thank you.

Did you hear me speak English?

You're bold in everything with words.

This is my mother.

How do you do?

Glad to see you.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

Have you been here?

No.

Haven't you even treated her here?

Had I time, I'd tour her around Zagat restaurants.

Poor busy doctors.

It's been a long time.

Hi.

Choose whatever you like.

Yes.

Who gave you that pretty name? Can I speak casually?

Of course. My dad named me.

How does it spell in Chinese?

RU meaning a summit, and BY meaning flying high.

What a nice meaning.

Her sister's name is Jade.

A TV writer? Right?

Yes.

Is it true that TV writers make big money?

You must be happy with that rich sister.

What drama did she write?

Didn't you tell her I like watching dramas?

No.

I am a drama mania.

I asked my sister to get Sohee Yoon's signature since you like her.

Thanks.

Can she take to tour a broadcasting station?

I've never been there even though I've traveled abroad a lot.

Okay, I'll tell her.

Try some bread with olive.

I think you and I will get along fine.

Why cry?

Are you gonna die tomorrow?

Stop it! Why mourn?

So disturbing!

Diseases lead to death not to life!

Stop crying!

My husband survived for seven years with a prostate cancer.

I enjoyed gourmet food.

But the joy of eating is over with me.

They'll gonna cut it off.

No wonder why you got ill, wretch.

Stop swearing at me.

Mother, please.

I'm in my dotage. Did you hear me, wretch?

Don't take it personal.

It's just her way of talking.

She got a sleeky mug with full of dirt inside.

You better watch your mouth.

I wonder what is in you!

Pure silky soul, of course.

She's making me feel worse.

Don't worry.

Your face reads you're gonna live up to 90 despite all your diseases.

Are you a shaman?

I wish you were a doctor like my son though.

I know. I like the medical job, but my score was short of becoming a doctor.

Never mind. One cannot be perfect in every aspect.

Everybody lacks one or two merits.

You know his father passed away...

My son is intelligent and competent, but he has a widowed mom.

Do your parents say anything about it?

No.

But they know it, right?

Sure.

Is your mother keeping house like me?

I mean, not like a housekeeper.

Does she play golf?

My mother? No.

Why don't you advise her to try it?

It's good for health.

The best sport for seniors.

I guess your father is strict.

A little to us.

I was told he's a hotelier. What hotel is he working at?

A page from the work?

No. Hello. Oh, hi.

At Ess Hotel.

I have a membership there.

They have nice spa facilities, right?

I dislike being in hot water.

Well, I did too when I was young.

What's your father's title?

A managerial director?

No.

An executive director?

No.

I guess he's not a chef.

Of course not.

You know what? Hotel chefs put on airs.

How about having a formal family meeting at Ess Hotel?

Sorry, am I rushing you?

This is me.

I'm kind of a quick-tempered and prompt in action.

Why does it take him so long?

There he comes.

Bon appetit

Thanks.

When are you going to see her parents?

When do you think is a good time?

Maybe next week.

Why waste time if conditions are right and you love each other?

My daughter's due is the 25th of the next month.

She must feel very heavy by now.

Why yes. To become a mother is not easy.

Dr. Yoo.

Mom, I didn't get the Ph. D yet.

But soon you will.

Show some manner and cut the steak for her.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll do it. Have some vegetable first.

What a perfect couple!

Wait, let me take your picture.

Ruby, you're photogenic.

What about me?

You too, of course.

Isn't your father a manager?

I know the general manager is a foreigner. Is he an assistant manager?

It's Mr. Chong.

Hello.

Mother, Haekyong's water just broke.

What? How come?

When she got up from a sofa.

We're on our way to the hospital.

I see. I'll right be with you.

My goodness. The water has broken.

What?

Don't get mad. Just calm down and listen.

Listen what?

You're asking me to pay for the hooters!

She's still your daughter-in-law to look after you.

I don't expect anything from her.

I'd rather expect my granddaughter-in-law to do it.

Don't be ridiculous.

She may be clumsy and a little vain, but she has decent conscience.

Sure, according to you.

She's never spoken ill of you.

Of course not. I've done nothing wrong.

She went too far in this case,

and look how she's strangling every breath out of me each day.

She must be the wage of my sin from my previous life.

A huge unforgivable sin, maybe.

So she did it by heaven and earth?

What could we do? It's her body.

Her boobs, not ours.

You are to blame that she became hopeless.

Hopeless?

Aren't you sick of her?

What about your son?

He's far better than your daughter.

Better? Come on, the kids are the witnesses.

He is a man for God's sake.

And every man has a soft spot.

Look, we both are women.

How can you apply a double standard?

Sounds like a modern liberalist.

Are you from a decent conservative family?

Then you're from a noble family?

I didn't know a noble lady was trained to beat the husband and hit on the head.

No wonder he died of cerebral hemorrhage.

What?

I've tried to go easy on you since we're in-laws,

but you are so mean and foul-mouthed.

You know better than anyone else how I've lived.

So anal...

Did I cause him to die of hemorrhage?

Who said so? Huh? Who?

No one likes a hag running wild.

Only my daughter can possibly tolerate an old hag like you.

Other daughters-in-law must have abandoned you long time ago.

Had my son married to another woman,

he would live a comfortable life by now.

The regret makes me beat my chest every night.

You think I caress mine?

Blind with love, Heja didn't listen to me,

though I strongly opposed their marriage.

The same here.

I should have honored an old saying, like mother like daughter.

You're just good-for-nothing.

Shut your mouth.

Whenever you had chances, you spent money to fill your stomach.

And you paint your face like a prostitute,

while you rarely clean the house, so cabinets are all sticky.

You're probably never lonely, right?

Since there's a swarm of houseflies.

Here you are.

Where's Amber?

The snack shop to grab a drink.

Have a sit.

How do I look?

I heard about the medical fee of $6,000.

Well, I had it of the best quality,

to prevent any side effects.

I can't risk that.

I thought I was dying this time.

I don't have money. Do you?

Of course I don't!

Then why? Who would help you?

My daughter of course.

My eldest daughter I rely on.

You did it alone, so you settle the matter alone.

Jade.

I'm not gonna mind your business anymore.

Help me with this for the last, please?

I can't. Do you want to sell my body?

That's not what I meant!

Then what? To steal money?

You have rich friends.

Or you can borrow some from your co-workers.

Then you do it.

Why do I always have to pay for your crazy mishaps?

Are you mute?

What's your problem?

That's what I want to ask.

What's your Endless problem?

I'll sell the business and pay you back.

Who said you can sell it?

Did you put any single penny in it?

How can you be so mean to hurt your mother,

who barely survived from death?

Didn't you invite your death?

You hurt me too.

You hurt all of us...

Lower your voice.

You will outlive your children,

if you don't change.

Are you cursing me?

I'm not.

Can't you just imagine how distressed we are?

I'd support my mom to have plastic surgery whole body if she wanted to.

I'll take over the store.

What? You can't do that.

Jade, Jade.

Jade...

Who bought the flower?

Me.

You did?

- Pretty, huh? - Good girl.

Do you know her?

No.

Let's go.

I can see that you're a man after all looking at a woman like that.

I did not.

Let's go.

Why is she around here?

It's me.

Hi, mother.

How come you didn't answer the phone?

'Cause I was working.

Don't ever supply your wife with medical fees.

I don't have money, you know.

Your shameless mother-in-law demanded money from me.

Like mother like daughter, both are brazen-faced.

Didn't you know?

That she had a boob surgery after carried into the hospital?

Did she?

Yes. It cost her $6,000.

Ruby is almost home.

Ok.

Looks yummy.

I'm making a lot.

Your eyes are glued to beef.

Should we get Kyle some?

What for? It can start a habit.

She really liked me.

What else did she ask?

That's all.

I was about to tell, but she had to leave right after the call.

The baby must have been put in an incubator.

But nothing's abnormal.

That's good.

How did your future mother-in-law look?

Swathed in haute couture, showing off like

I am well-fed and well-bred.

I could see that.

Ruby's really funny, isn't she?

Yeah.

I'd rather live with a foxy girl than with a clumsy bear.

The quite type who shut their mouth turns me off.

What is Gangji like?

Speak.

Who cares what she's like?

She's just an alumna.

Coral, who're you trying to fool?

We're the sense-it-all!

She likes me, but I can't afford a girlfriend now.

What does her father do?

I don't know. I didn't ask about it.

Jade, how did she look?

Rich. She's pretty.

And tall. A real good catch.

Even if she's a fairy, I know I can't afford dating for now.

Well.

Aches and pains, huh?

It's bearable.

I got the money for hospital fees, so don't worry.

Really?

Yes.

You're my only savior.

When do the stitches come out?

In two or three weeks.

For the following week, I have to come to hospital regularly.

Be careful not to get inflammation.

Ok. My skin is healthy and healed up well.

Didn't your mother get mad at me?

Being old, she just can't understand you.

Please put in a good word for me.

Ok.

My children have no bowels.

Do you know what Jade told me?

As Ruby already knew, I'm quitting the job.

Why?

I'll be running the snack bar.

It might be tough for you.

I'll get a part-time helper.

Did Mom say okay?

We're the actual owner, not her.

Moreover, she doesn't work hard.

She made only $250 in profit last month.

I don't feel comfortable you running the store.

Not to worry since young kids are mostly customers.

I was unhappy with writing show biz scripts anyways.

Haven't we lived through thick and thin?

My lifetime goal is to write dramas with human touch.

I'll do my best to achieve it.

Are you sure?

Heaven helps those who help themselves.

You can't expect to succeed when you make no efforts.

If you shrink back for fear of failure, there's no gain.

That's right.

None but the brave deserve the fair.

Courage and efforts bring us success.

I'm an example. I got Dr. Yoo, ahead of other women in the hospital.

That's a case of romance.

Hey, catching Mr. Right is more complicated than taking an exam.

If you study hard, you can pass the exam.

However, stealing someone's heart...

it's not easy at all when you can't even control your own heart.

She sounds like a love expert.

Go ahead.

I know. That drama is ill spoken of. Yeah.

I keep watching it because of Woobin, too.

He's my brother's friend.

It's true. It's true!

Your father is home.

I'll call you back.

Hi, Daddy.

Is Younggook in?

He's taking a shower.

Ginseng is known as health food to restore energy to the body.

But the recent study revealed that ginseng is good for preventing arthritis.

Dad, I wrote up a self-reflection.

Who said I wanted it?

I did it for myself since I really felt sorry.

I'm sorry for making you upset.

Are you sure of keeping all these?

Yes, Daddy.

I visited the auntie in hospital with Younggook, with flowers.

I accepted only $10 though she wanted to give me more.

Younggook, come here and have a seat.

Okay.

Dad, should I sign on it?

It's alright. I'll trust you just once more.

I will not disappoint you again.

I'll behave straight, like a student.

You may go upstairs.

Ok.

I need to keep this.

Ok.

Brush your teeth.

Yes, Mom.

Did you say hi to all of your friends?

Not all yet.

He came back only a few days ago.

It's exhausting to meet people.

Have you ever experienced a poverty stricken life?

I know a bit through a TV show.

There is a world of difference between the show and the reality.

Go and find out on your own.

Where should I go then?

Anywhere. For one year.

One year?

Are you unwilling?

No.

Younggook.

I'll do it.

Honey, no.
