Episode 19

How do I look?

Not good?

What?

What is it?

How are you?

Did you see someone you know?

It's Ruby and Kyle.

Let us look around.

We were not doing anything wrong...

Then go out. I'm not going out.

I'm not going out alone either.

But we can't...

Oppa, try this on.

It won't fit me.

How much is it?

Too expensive...

I'll buy you.

No thanks.

Just try on. Go in the fitting room.

You can try on here.

Please! The color goes well with you.

Isn't Prince here?

No, he's with your mom.

Did you come here to see him, not me?

No. I heard he's here.

Grandma, it's worn-out. Give me a new one.

I don't have a new one. It's all worn.

Isn't that really comfortable?

I know. Not too tight around the waist. I like it.

Joe always finds a fault with me wearing this.

But this is the best when doing house chores.

Grandma.

Yes?

Were you in that outfit when grandpa was around in the past?

Yes, why?

You could have looked a bit more attractive to grandpa.

Do I look ugly?

No, you look ok now but...

Oh, little boy...

I picked up something gay but do you think it too flashy?

It's ok since I'll be wearing that at home.

By the way, is it true that we can expect nothing from your sister-in-law?

I think so.

Actually, your mom had a great expectation from Coral.

Don't worry, she can expect from me instead.

Huh? Are you sure you won't disappoint her?

Of course!

I'm so glad that you're our youngest grandchild.

I'm not the youngest.

Huh?

I'm not the youngest any more.

Ask for Mr. Sangsik Goong, a doorman.

Yes, ma'am.

What would you like to have for lunch?

Well? How about noodle?

Yes, ma'am.

Mom, you don't have meeting today?

Why?

I want to take a spin for change.

You can refresh yourself at home.

It's not fun at home at all.

Watch a DVD. Or do some exercise at the basement.

Dad, what should I do?

What?

I'm too stressed by STH.

STH?

Studing Too Hard.

Then take a rest.

Can I take a spin out for a couple of hours?

Doing what?

Going to karaoke with my friends to sing at the top of our lungs.

We have karaoke.

But I can't bring my friends here, since you're home.

Let them come. I'll go out.

But we can't scream at the top of our voice.

It can injure your voice. Woman's voice is as important as her face.

A dressed-up woman with squeaky voice is not attractive at all.

Look at your mother. Her beautiful voice makes her more attractive.

Really?

Yeah.

Yesterday, I got a call from Younggook's friend.

I said he's not home, then he asked who I was.

When was really surprised when I said I was his mother.

He thought I was his sister since I sounded so young.

No wonder! Do you know whom your voice reminds me of?

Whom?

Julie Andrews in the Sound of the Music!

Really?

Yeah!

Excuse me, is Mr. Goong at work?

Yes. What's this regarding?

I was sent by...

Oh, here comes he. Mr. Goong!

What?

Don't you have Mr. Kyle Huntington at your house?

Yes.

Are you mad at me?

No. I'm just amazed by my absurdity.

Why?

You know everything about me but... Never mind.

I didn't take you in there on purpose.

I didn't do that on purpose, either.

Then it must have been on impulse.

Can you give me some time?

What do you mean?

What do you think if we go out - seriously?

I don't know anything about you except your name and age...

Do you really think you don't know me?

I thought you understood and knew me to some degree.

Sometimes I feel I now you, but

sometimes I don't. You're just like a stranger.

You know what I'm saying, right?

I do.

I need some time.

Not to calculate but time to think.

Ok.

Let's go.

To a chain store or to the farmer's market?

How's Heja doing?

She's laid up with stress.

Then why are you so happy when she's sick?

I just got a call from Coral. His fiancee wants to treat us.

Of course she should.

Decide what you're gonna wear. I'm ok with any clothes but I'm concerned about you.

What's the big deal? I'm not a bride-to-be.

How I look doesn't matter.

Don't think your pajama looks ok.

You think I'm that thoughtless?

Let's wear Hanbok.

Huh? It's cumbersome.

You can't wear anything other than Hanbok.

Why not? Is something wrong with me?

Let me be honest with you as your friend.

I have a nice body with a curvy shape, so I can wear either Korean or Western clothes.

But your body is just like a log.

What? Did you say my body's just flat? Me? Hey, look at me. Look.

Aren't these awesome?

Hey, nothing is complete unless you put it in final shape.

Unless they're well maintained, they are nothing but flabby chunk of flesh.

So, when we push the breasts up tight...

Wait, they call big breasts melons, ok?

So we can make the boobs look like melons.

You want me to buy you a magic bra?

Cut it out. I'm old and with that bra on, how can I breathe?

Why not? Then wear Hanbok.

What? Are you gonna wear a Western suit?

I'll wear Hanbok for you.

But my Hanbok is too old.

Show me.

This is too old-fashined.

So?

Let's borrow Hanbok.

Huh? Do they lend Hanbok?

Sure! It's so convenient these days.

Listen, if we look shabby,

she'll ignore us and send us low quality Hanbok as wedding gifts.

But if we dress up and show up at the meeting, she'll know we have hight tastes.

And she'll be attentive to prepare high quality gifts.

That makes sense.

If you listen to me, you'll get the bread buttered both sides. Just give ear to me.

All my advice is good for you. It'll never harm you.

Put it back.

It doesn't deserve to be called a Hanbok.

How about having lunch somewhere?

Sounds good.

Did you decide?

I like to have a black bean noodle, an udon or...

What else?

We'll have a seafood black bean noodle and an udon.

How did the parental meeting go?

It was good.

Well, don't take me wrong.

How about giving my room to Coral and her bride?

Are you going to leave?

No. I'm going to share Kyle's room.

Would he be ok? He's an American and needs privacy.

Actually he brought it up.

Thank you but we're ok.

We really don't need an individual room, because we need it for sleep only.

I'm not asking to pay back my security deposit.

Kyle asked me to explain you well.

Please. Coral can use his room for study.

We can't accept your favor.

I'm drying my hair.

Ok, take your time.

Did you come alone?

No, with Kyle.

I see.

Did you have lunch?

We did.

Are you shameful of my outfit?

No. But I'm concerned you'll feel cold.

It's getting chilly.

Feeling cold is somehow refreshing though.

I'll move out my stuff tonight. Then just start cleaning up the room.

Are you sure you didn't push Kyle?

Ask him then. I'm not lying.

You didn't have to visit me today.

We just stopped by.

She may be tired of seeing us. Let's go.

Not at all. How's your driving?

I'm enjoying.

I drove from the mall to the Shrine of Arts.

It's good that you're young. I'm afraid of driving.

There was an old lady. She took a taxi and asked the driver to go to the Shrimp of Arts.

Funny thing is that the taxi-driver somehow took her to the Shrine of Arts.

There's another lady. She said "Merit Hotel" instead of saying Marriott Hotel.

It's possible. As we get old, we tend to stumble with words.

Prince, will you be rebellious like your brother when you're grown up?

Tell me. Will you?

What is it?

I rented a Hanbok.

Look.

Isn't it nice?

Mom, go buy some seafood. I'm going to make seafood pancake.

But you said you felt bloated.

Not for me. It's for Kyle.

I'm not going home since there's Jade. I hate to see her.

Kimchi pancake tasted good too...

Oh Mom, just do it. Now Kyle is my only hope.

Ok.

The more I think, the more I get disgusted with Jade.

She spoiled Coral's future...

It's predestined. Didn't you see how deeply Coral is in love?

You know that by your own experience, don't you?

Don't blame Jade. Would he listen to her when he doesn't listen to you?

My kids listen to her more than to me.

If she had persuaded him, he would have given up marrying Gangji.

But when Jade found her ok, she must have something good, like personality.

What's the use of having good personality?

Coral will regret that he didn't listen to me when he faces financial difficulty.

I gave him your contact number.

In person?

Yes. He said he could not contact Kyle and would get back to us after work.

Did you give him my address too?

Yes. I think he would get Kyle's approval first.

Delicious?

Yes.

Didn't Mom make this?

Yes. How did you know?

It's looks exactly Mom's.

They say people fight a lot during a driving lesson. Is that true?

Faultfinder.

Without me, you could have gotten scratches and dents on the car.

Listen to him.

Ok. Didn't Jade come back from shopping yet?

She did. She went to spa.

Where's Jedoug?

He's out for clearning up the store.

Mr. Goong's here.

Good afternoon!

Hi.

Dad!

Hi dad.

What a delicious smell!

You should have come earlier.

Well.

Your mother's friend sent me a man to find your contact point.

Really?

Yeah. I thought I'd better ask your opinion first, so I just took her number.

The man said he's her chauffeur.

Sounds she's rich. Kyle lost the phone yesterday.

He also asked for my address.

Is there a kitty?

Aren't your legs hurt?

A little.

Go have dinner at home with your parent.

Why?

You'll leave them within a month. Spend time with them as much as you can.

I heard that dads feel especially sad when their daughters get married.

So, be nice to him.

My dad is different. He pushes me to marry not to be a spinster.

Why do you look so sullen?

I just imagined being in your parents' shoes.

They live in perfect harmony, so without me, their love will get deepened.

Don't worry.

Still. Go back home early.

Ok.

Are you preparing the dinner?

Yes.

I'll be with you after changing.

I don't need your help.

Look!

Wow, you're good!

I'm perfect in everything.

Looks yummy.

Should I cut kimchi?

I'll do it. Can you peel onions?

Where's the kitty?

She's not home?

No.

It's weird, she was home just before.

Maybe she's in Jedoug's room.

She can't open the door.

Where on earth did she go?

Maybe we lost her.

I don't think Amber took her out.

Oh...

Babykitt...

Oh, what should I do? She's nowhere.

She's nowhere.

She may be playing, hiding somewhere.

Who's been here?

Just family.

Who?

Dad and grandma.

Which grandma?

Joe grandma.

Call Amber first.

He went to see his friends. No reason to take the kitty with him.

Jedoug took extra care for her before giving her to me.

Meow, meow...

Jedoug's home.

What is it?

Is something wrong?

We lost the kitty.

She's gone while I was preparing a meal.

Didn't you put her on leash?

We let her loose.

She'll come out after hiding somewhere. That's her nature.

She put a side dish on my spoon at dinner table.

At that very moment... how can I put it?

I feel like, "Well, let's just marry her. "

That's good. It'll be smooth sailing from now on.

Her family will support your career.

As I see her several times, I think she's not ugly.

Of course. Unlike Ruby's superficial beauty, her face will never tire you.

I think marriage with her can provide me comfort.

Sure.

Marry and bear a son just like you. He'll give you a great joy.

Did you have dinner?

Yep.

Was the kitty home when you left?

I think so. Why?

She's gone.

When Dad asked if we had a kitty, his eyes somehow twinkled.

And he smiled, didn't he?

Yes.

Then it's Dad.

What for?

To raise her.

He doesn't like a pet. Remember he ate our puppy?

Maybe he took her for grandma. There's a rumor that cat meat is good for neuralgia.

No way...

Then how could she disappear in a closed room? Someone took her away.

What did Joe grandma come for?

To borrow a hammer.

It could be any one of two grandmas.

They don't take anything in secret, you know.

They can, if with a wrong motivation.

Amber. Any idea?

Maybe I didn't shut the door when I left.

Still, I can't understand that she ran away from this cozy place with food.

She's kinda a stray cat.

She's not. She's a Persian cat. Her mommy bore her in an alley.

Dad is a key suspect.

Let's go see him.

The kitty can't be there though. He knows us so he wouldn't keep her at home, right?

He must have taken her to give her to some woman.

Possible... He asked about the kitty in detail, like her breed.

Why?

To ask him.

Would he admit even if he did it?

I can at least ask.

I'll go with you.

Huh? Who is it?

It's me, grandma.

Is my Dad home?

I'm here.

Something happened again?

No.

Was he home all the evening?

No.

It's cold. Hi!

What?

Do you know where my kitty is by any chance?

Huh? Why do you ask for it here? Did it disappear?

Yes.

Where could that little one go?

I know.

Where did you stop by after leaving our house?

Well, somebody called me to meet. So...

Why?

We're just wondering if you took her with you.

Why would I?

Why would I when I'm lazy to even take care of myself?

Bye.

What is it?

Jade. She asked if I had her kitty.

Geez.

Cares more for a kitty than her own parents?

I'll get busy from tomorrow.

Are you changing rooms?

We decided to live - since we're too lonely.

I was not able to discuss with my siblings.

Why bother?

Without furniture, my room is still spacious.

Really? Without asking for the security deposit?

No.

I'm so touched. They could be real angels, pretending to be humans, huh?

I'm thankful but I can't accept the favor.

I told him the same.

But Jedoug already moved into Kyle's room.

Let's give him some money back after Goral's marriage.

It's Mom, not you, who's responsible for the money matter.

Poor us. Our fate is to clean up after our parents.

Do you miss him already?

You miss him too by heart.

He's doing ok. Don't worry.

What is he doing now?

Let's sleep.

Hey, Amber!

Do you really like me?

You think I'm joking?

What about Dongja?

I don't mind that brat.

Find a way.

And?

Can't you read between the lines?

May I beat her up just in case?

You'll be lucky not to be beaten up.

You know you're really hot, huh?

Good morning.

Where's Misook's mom?

She got a headache, and went to get some medicine.

Coffee? Or tea?

No thanks.

Aren't drama writers coffee-holic?

I'm not a drama writer yet.

You are writing anyways.

Are you keeping your hand away from water?

I do.

I feel pathetic. Failed to keep the kitty.

You couldn't help it. I'll get you the same kind of cat.

Don't. I don't want to spend money on a pet.

Do you want only a free pet?

Yes.

I can't understand her. I thought she's tamed.

I know. She always jumped out whenenever we're around.

It's Woobin.

Hello.

It's me, Woobin.

Hi.

How's it going?

I'm just writing.

How long do you think it takes to finish?

Doing it right is better than doing it quickly.

I think I can finish it by the early next month.

Ok, call me.

Ok. Bye.

Does he call you often?

No. It's his first call since his last visit.

You got a headache?

I'm ok after taking a medicine.

I'm sorry I wasted your precious time.

Please do so frequently.

My brothers feel thankful and sorry.

I'll pay back your security deposit after Coral's married and I make more money.

That would be unfair to Kyle.

He shares his room with me without any discount.

Is it right? Then I'll pay back you guys half and half.

We don't need that extra money for now.

Just focus on his marriage preparation.

How do I look?

Can I be honest?

Sure.

You look like a turkey.

Oh come on, I'm a swan.

You should keep the door locked!

Oh, mother, you're so beautiful.

Well, don't I look awkward?

No.

Fine feathers make fine birds. I feel I'm a different person.

Mrs. Goong.

Yes, madam?

Why the necklace?

Why? Didn't you advice me to adorn myself?

Take it off!

This is your daughter's gift to me.

That's against the dress code of Hanbok.

Showing the bear neckline is the key elegance of Hanbok.

You can't have the necklace in that line.

Are you ready?

Yes.

How do I look?

Don't I look like a Geisha manager?

No.

Believe what you want to believe.

You never agree with me.

That's not it. You know you don't look like one, right?

A Geisha manager has a beauty, a shape, castella, and...

Maybe charisma, not castella, grandma.

Yes, charisma.

Madam, stop being presumptuous.

Just a mistake.

Let's go.

Isn't it too early to leave now?

Wait for a sec. Myongja, come with me.

What?

Just come, I need to talk to you.

Sit down.

Myongja, make sure you talk gracefully.

Not like the way you usually do.

Gosh!

I'm serious. How old are you?

You know how old I am. As old as you.

Our 60's has gone, our 70's is almost gone. We'll turn to 'Sansoo' soon.

Do you know the word 'Sansoo'?

Of course! I was not good at literature but I'm perfect in math.

Not that math. I meant the age of 80 by 'Sansoo'.

So ignorant...

Why use a difficult word in plain conversation?

So presumptuous.

Don't show your temper at the meeting.

Don't you know you act as if you're somebody? Hey, Duckling...

My name means 'Swan,' ok? Don't play with my name.

Do you know how disgusting it is when an ignorant man pretends to be intelligent?

Just admit, 'Yes, I was not schooled. I am ignorant. '

Wouldn't it be more genuine and dignified? Like a gentle old lady.

Yes, you look so dignified. Don't make any rough talk during lunch later.

Mind your own business.

You're really hopeless!

Being hopless is better than being senseless.

Come, move your butt.

Geez...

Such a hopeless woman.

She thinks she's better than me to try preaching.

Please don't fight with each other in front of Gangji.

She got on my nerves.

She doesn't appreciate my advice.

What is that?

Rubber shoes as you see.

But how come they are high-heeled?

I see. You want to look tall? You think you're going on a date?

Oh, is this a restaurant?

Yes.

It looks like someone's house.

I know.

Wow...

She's Gangji.

How do you do?

Hi.

My mother's mother, and my father's mother.

I heard a lot about you.

What's your last name?

I'm Yi.

My uncle bought these in Milan. They are perfume.

Perfume?

Please open.

Here, grandma.

It doesn't smell.

Grandma, open like this, and apply.

I used to wear perfume when I was young.

So he bought this in Milan?

Yes.

What is that country famous for?

Grandma, Milan is the name of the city in Italy.

Oh...

She should have remained silent like me to avoid showing ignorance.

It's famous for its fashion industry. People on the street are very fashionable.

Have you been there?

Yes.

Ouch!

Oh, are you ok?

Oh, Mrs. Goong... That's a wrong way to apply perfume.

Are you ok?

Then how can I apply it?

May I show you how?

Sure.

You know....

If you put it on direcly....

the smell can be too strong...

So, just like this...

Oops!

Oh my goodness...

Grandma!

Are you ok?

Grandma.

Get up.

Are you ok?

You should not have gone too far.

Are you ok?

Your driving is good now.

Thanks to you.

You were unhappy with my "nagging".

Because you made me more nervous when I was already very nervous.

But it was necessary, to prevent you from an accident.

You're right, sir.

Good girl. Well, then change lanes to the left ahead there.

Huh? It'll lead me to a ramp to the freeway.

Exactly. Now you need to drive on the freeway. You can't always take local drives.

I'm getting nervous again.

Come on, I know you're a ballsy driver.

How did you know I was ballsy? Actually I am more than just ballsy.

Ok, ballsy girl, remain cool and prepare to change lanes.

Yes, sir!

Turn on the left turn signal, and speed up when you get in the left lane.

Ok.

You are cautious as well!

Thanks to someone's consistent nagging.

To shut up my nagging?

No... to turn your nagging into complimenting.

Then I must compliment you a lot.

Please. Compliments change people.

People say that compliments are more effective than complaints to improve people.

Ok, ok. Ms. Ruby drives very well, cautiously.

Oh, she's ballsy too.

And I have a good appetite.

Then how about celebrating your first drive on the freeway? I'll treat you.

So you got it now. Well, what should I eat?

Take your time. And now change lanes to the right ahead there.

We need to enter to the downtown to find a restaurant.

Yes, my angelic teacher!

Will it take around a half day?

Yes.

Please make sure you don't scratch the floor.

Don't worry. I'll cover it before wallpapering.

Hello.

Come over here.

Are you having a drink?

Yes.

Fill my glass.

Grandmas went out for a lunch with Gangji.

I felt rage.

If you were in my shoes, would you marry Coral to her without any issues?

I am not ok either.

If he fails the exam, you're to blame.

It's no joke taking the exam,

and I'm concerned his study could be distracted by the marriage.

Whether in good or bad relations with her, he cannot concentrate.

What if they bear a child immediately?

Are you really that thoughtless?

Gangji's father has a colon cancer.

She doesn't know. Her parents want to keep it a secret.

He's given one year to live, and he wishes to see his daughter married...

You understand him, don't you?

That's why Coral made a decision.

He wants to stand by and comfort his love when she loses her father.

Ok, if that's the case, I understand. I myself am a parent.

But still, how come they won't support him with a single penny?

I can't understand them at all.

Do you think it makes sense that they marry her to a poor family without any support?

With all their wealth set aide?

Coral said that they also started from nothing but became wealthy.

Maybe, they want to build up mental power and teach the value of money to them.

I'm so much disappointed.

After I bore you, I thought Ruby would be a son.

Do you know how happy I was when I bore him?

He was a good boy and always the top in school.

Once he passes the exam...

I don't care even if you call me a snob.

I've expected a lot from him...

Why her father? Why does he have a cancer?

Who knows what will happen to us?

Are you good in drinking?

Of course. I'm your daughter.

Don't drink too often. Not good for you.

I don't unless necessary.

Do you want a mink coat that much?

I'll buy you one by all means in a few years.

It's different getting one from a daughter-in-law...

...to pushing my own precious child to get me one.

Am I precious to you?

Of course. You'll know when you have a child.

No matter how bad conflicts you might have with your child, your child is still precious.

I was not going to marry but... Should I marry to see if your saying is true?

Of course. You lack nothing to get married.

You'll be a good housewife unlike me.

What should I look for? Man's backgroud or his personality?

Both, of course.

But I can't require him to be perfect when I am not perfect.

We only lack money. Look at youself.

You are pretty and smart.

And apt to survive and succeed.

Why yes.

Since I'm strong, I can't bear an incompetent man.

I can find someone smart and lovable, though he lacks in other areas, right?

A smart visionary can't be a good husband. He'll only trouble his wife.

Not a mere visionary. I mean a diligent, practical, and smart man.

Anyway, money talks.

Money can resolve almost 90 percent of troubles in life.

Why a big sigh?

Coral and Gangji will have a room.

How come?

How do you like the food?

Yes, delicious.

The beef was too sweet. They put too much sugar in food.

I prefer sweety food as I get old.

Yes.

Can we have more tea, please?

Yes, sir.

You are a lover of sweet food all your life.

Having snacks all the time.

Those were presents, and I had to eat them.

I'll be sinned if I waste food.

That's right.

You'll be sinned? Does it make sense?

Isn't sin something you commit?

So are you saying you'll been committed?"

That's the way people say these days, though that's not grammatically correct.

I think you're a bit sensitive today.

I just want to make sure of your profund knowledge.

Oh, thank you.

Do we still have more to come?

Yes, ma'am.

What is this? It doesn't taste like barley tea.

It's cassia tea.

Why?

I don't think it funny at all.

My name is Gyol Myungja.

Aren't they thoughtful?

Better than your own grandmas.

In fact, I asked them to live - and give one of their places to you and Ruby,

so that me and your father can go back home.

They said no. They said it'd be inconvenient.

Say thank you when you meet Kyle and Jedoug..

Ok.

Don't you think Kyle likes Ruby? Otherwise, he doesn't have to be that nice.

They are just close like siblings, not as lovers.

You'll see.

You know Kyle cut off his mother and parents.

I don't think he'll fall in love that easily.

Every night I pray that things work for Ruby and Kyle.

Kyle knows all about our family.

He's nice to her out of sympathy.

Do you think you know a man as much as I do?

You didn't experience many men either.

You married to Daddy young.

As I live, I got a kind of insight.

I can tell people by my sense or hunch feeling.

Then why go to a shaman?

I go there only when I can't find an anwer.

By the way! What the shaman told me troubles me.

She said if I didn't hold a rite, Coral would fail the exam.

Mom, this is the world of the living.

Ghosts cannot stop the will of the living, right?

You know Coral is smart and hardworking.

He'll make it for sure, so trust him and be supportive.

I warmed a snake in my bosom.

Look at him how he manages all these.

He dared to marry her even before his older sisters get married.

Moreover, even when Ganji turned out to be a tin god.

If he passes the exam, her parents can give him a big present out of joy.

Don't look disappointed too much.

I don't want to see his face for a while.

I understand you, but how about thinking in Gangji's shoes?

If you were Gangji, you'd be really touched...

...when you find a man wants to marry you for love not for money.

So, she's the beneficiary of all my carings for him.

As I see, Coral is broad-minded. Isn't he a man of high-caliber?
