Episode 33

Mother!

Honey!

You wash! Wash!

Honey, she's a sly cunning fox.

She's a fox. Be careful.

You wash. Terry is clean.

Are you ok?

I'm ok.

Mother, calm down.

Mother.

Please calm down.

Younggook.

She was going to harm me. I'm scared.

Kick her out.

Kick her out, honey.

Terry is scared. Scared, honey.

Kick her out. Kick her out.

And?

They had no other choice but to give in.

You could have granted their wishes.

They'll become a laughingstock.

I don't think so. They'll have fun.

We gave them some pocket money instead.

It's not about money.

They must have felt sorry that all their practices have gone down the drain.

Can you make some tea for me?

Korean families poke their noses in others' business too much.

Out of love, though.

Love is to let the one you love do what they like to do.

Then should I allow them to shoplift if they want to?

Within the boundaries not to offend others.

We'll be offended, ok?

Are these all for laundry?

Yes.

Where's Sunmi?

She's car-washing.

Look.

Yes?

Don't let Sunmi in.

Why?

Just do what I ask you to do.

Goodsoon told me not to let you in.

Why?

I don't know.

Just open.

If I open, she'll give me a hard time.

Call her.

Kill time somewhere while I'm studying.

Can't you study if I'm home?

Your presence itself smothers me. I can focus when you're not around.

Hey, Goodsoon!

Don't open the door until I finish studying.

Open the door!

If you keep making scene, I'll throw out your stuff over the window.

Do you want me to get you your wallet?

I'm worried Goodsoon might visit home all of sudden.

You can coax Mother into a shower.

I think I'm to blame for her disease.

You can't do any better than that.

You know I often raised my voice because of Goodsoon.

And Terry always begged me to keep down for her sake.

She's just unlucky. It's not your fault.

If I can give everything in exchange for her health, I'll do it.

My heart is breaking.

Come on out.

Why?

Just come.

Look...

What is this?

I was worried about you driving alone at night.

Looks quite real when driving by.

I don't take a dangerous path.

Still.

Thanks.

Does Dr. Mama Boy still beg you for a second chance?

Yes.

What are you gonna do?

Do what?

You might want to make yourself clear.

He'll be exhausted of himself.

What?

I sense you enjoy it.

Not at all.

Where are you going?

Bookstore.

Get in.

Village Bookstore.

Where are we going?

Village Bookstore is on the other side.

Gosh! What the heck is this?

Yes.

Hey. I'm being abducted.

By whom?

The warden.

To where?

No idea.

The opposite direction of Village Bookstore.

She's making a right at...

What the! I was talking!

Get off.

No.

Let go!

Are you crazy?

Exactly!

Let go of me!

Let go! I said let go!

Wanna be fired?

Yes!

Good idea!

Take off.

Don't you think you're going too far?

You said you hated me. Bring it on.

Must have been a gangsta girl.

You are a botch. You think money is all, huh?

Did you earn the money of your family?

You're a mere troublemaker. Nothing more, nothing less.

Study, appearance, ability... you have nothing to be proud of!

Oh, there's one thing though.

Distressing others.

Taxi!

To the Village Bookstore, please.

Being pursued?

By a thug, a female thug.

Yes.

It's me.

Where are you?

I was hit.

Sunmi did it?

Yes.

Where are you?

Mister, pull over there, over there!

Amber...

What happened? Were you beaten up?

Yes. A lot. Mister, bring us back to where I was.

She's there.

Ok.

How could you beat her? Who do you think you are?

It hurts you? Want to pay me back?

You can go home.

Ok. Be careful.

Come on, make my day.

Ouch!

I liked to watch your drama shooting.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Maybe next time, then.

Did they schedule your next drama on TV?

Yes. Next fall.

But it could be cancelled if the result of my current one turns out poor.

I think you don't have to worry since the storyline's good.

I heard that the success of drama called for luck in scheduling.

Yeah, it can't be ignored. Are you off on Christmas?

Yes. Why don't we hold a family party?

Well...

I wish to see your smiling face again.

My goodness!

Hey, what happened?

Who made you like this?

Goodsoon's bodyguard.

How come?

She beat up Goodsoon to a jelly.

So I lashed out at her why she had to beat the girl and...

Wait, how old is she?

Around 22 or 23?

Oh, look at his face!

I've never been beaten up like this in my life.

Goodsoon lives in Lily Apartment, right?

Yes. Unit 1- ...1-203. Yes. 1-203.

Coral, put on your jacket. Now.

I think she did a martial art.

She's a real thug!

I'll go with you!

Why not pack your stuff?

Who said I'd leave now?

I can't live with you a single minute.

Then tell your daddy.

Of course I will.

I will tell him everything too.

Then do so.

Ahjoomma! You are the witness.

What's wrong with mingling with my classmate?

Your dad made it clear not to let you hang out with boys.

You didn't swear at her, right?

No.

Wretch. She'll be dead in my hand.

Are we there?

Yes.

Who is it?

It's Amber.

Where's Goodsoon?

In her room.

Were you beaten up too?

Isn't she home?

In the bathroom.

How are you?

Hi.

My brother and my another sister.

Have a seat please. Ahjoomma, tea and fruits please.

No thanks.

What a nerve to take a shower after beating up the young?

She's a psycho.

Did you make any trouble?

No. She offered me a ride when I was on the way to a bookstore to meet Amber.

Then she took me to a Judo center by force and...

Gosh. That's the bathroom?

Yes.

Come out!

Oh, Ruby.

Sunmi?

Why are you here?

So Amber is...

My brother.

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry.

Excuse me.

How are you?

Hi.

Is Ruby or Mrs. Goong home?

Did Prince fall asleep?

Yes, be quiet.

Yes, Gangji?

Mother, a man named Byonghoon Yoo is here to see you.

He said he's Ruby's co-worker.

Where's Ruby?

What brought you here?

I would like to tell you something.

Did you call Ruby?

She left the phone home.

Mother, how's your health?

You have eyes.

You look good.

Mother...

I know you feel bad about me,

but please try to understand me and give me a second chance.

It was not my will to split up with Ruby.

Are you completely finished with the woman?

Of course.

I can see how sorry your choosy mother must have been.

She regrets indeed.

One sure thing is that Ruby and I are meant to be.

Blown long time ago.

But it could be a blessing in disguise.

I got sick of you. So did Ruby.

I will never hurt her again. I promise, mother.

You being around Ruby are a pain. Find another woman.

Mother, please! The result is as much important as the process.

I'm sure we will live happier than any other couple. I'll be really nice to Ruby.

Why are you talking to me? Talk to her.

If I were Ruby, I wouldn't start over with a man who once betrayed me and...

But it was not me who refused her.

If you really loved her, you should have pushed on no matter what.

That's the real man!

How can you come here asking for a favor?

You are so right. I've never pushed on my parents but I will from now on.

I'll side with Ruby no matter what if she has trouble with my mom. Believe me.

It's been a long since I had yellow corvine.

Same here.

Seems very expensive one.

Hum... I love the smell of corvina.

Gee....

Did he beg you?

Yes, but too late.

Not too late. Ruby doesn't have any boy friend now.

His mother should have accepted her at the outset. What's all this crap?

We're not crazy for yellow corvina.

But it turned out for the best.

Had we married Ruby to Dr. Yoo against his mother,

our daughter must have suffered difficulties to please her.

I bet his mother would have given her a hard time.

That's right.

Isn't it human nature, mother?

Yeah.

Gees...

Have I ever given Gangji a hard time just because she brought few dowries?

This is not the same case.

If Ruby forgives them and marries, she can put them under her thumb.

Both Dr. Yoo and his mother.

He's right.

Persuade Ruby. This is not a losing business.

Then what about Kyle?

I don't think he's for Ruby.

No chemistry between them in spite of their long time together.

I think so. His only concern is Buddha.

Let Dr. Yoo's mom beg me, then I'll think about it.

Don't be emotional. Be rational.

The owl thinks her own youngest fairest.

You think Ruby is perfect because she's your daughter.

But if you kick away Dr. Yoo this time,

it'll be impossible for her to catch a doctor bachelor.

But they hurt my pride!

This is no time to stand on pride.

Sometimes we need to compromise.

I do understand you feel bad about him but,

try to see a big picture and give him a second chance.

Right.

You'd better change your mind.

I heard Dr. You was here.

He met our Mom.

I'm sorry. I went too far.

It didn't hurt you much though, right?

From now on, I'll leave the matter to you about Amber.

Then I can invite him home, right?

Yes. When I or the maid is around.

Don't you trust him?

I do, since he is Ruby's brother.

But I need to at least keep my duty your father assigned.

Please understand me.

Didn't you speak ill of me to Ruby?

No.

I just said I got upset because you've released your study stress on me.

How long have you been doing martial art?

Don't you regret having quit the nursing job?

My mom wanted me to become a nurse, not me.

But my field is athletics.

Can you do me a favor?

Don't call me Ahjoomma.

I'm younger than his sister.

Ok.

She's offered a company nurse job on condition that...

...she takes good care of Goodsoon until she becomes a college student.

What's the company name?

She didn't tell me. Must be a well-known company.

We supported our own study unlike Goodsoon...

I know. Life is unfair.

I can understand why Amber clings to her.

He's just being covetuous.

Who knows? Her parents might be generous with their only daughter's wish.

Especially her mother is said to regard Goodsoon as the apple of her eye.

She has a brother.

Amber is ambitious, unlike Coral.

I don't like too ambitious men.

I envy Sunmi. She can work regular hours and in comfort for one year.

You have to work tomorrow. Just sleep.

In two weeks, Jade's drama will be on air.

Suppose you entered that TV dancing contest.

It might have been a good memory for you, but,

everybody in this town knows you're Jade's grandmas, right?

What if someone upload some funny cuts of you on the internet?

You could be a laughing stock, and someone could put negative comments.

I'm sorry to say this but you might have put shame on Jade.

You're right. We were thoughtless.

People like gossip.

Why yes. All those negative gossips.

How about going to temple this weekend?

Let's pray - for the success of Jade's drama.

I have a pain in my knees.

Come on. So you could dance so well? How about you, Heja?

I'll pray at home.

Come on. You are her mother.

By the way, I wonder why Mr. April Park doesn't come these days.

I know.

Maybe he found another restaurant.

I think he has womanizing tendencies.

Good morning.

Oh! Hi...

What brought you here at this early hour?

To get your lunch. You have it, right?

No.

Come on.

Then what do I eat when you take my lunch?

You can make bibimbap. I'm hungry. Please.

My...

Why didn't you show up these days?

I was with my son's family in Japan.

Oh...

Guess you had a good time.

Not really.

I went there because of my grandchildren.

Here...

I missed Korean food so much for the past couple of weeks.

Did you close the business during then?

No, my daughter ran it. Thank you.

You don't have to wash the container.

Why not?

I'm a human dish washer.

He has a sense of humor!

Was that a humor?

Normally he has.

I think you just like everything about him.

If you don't want rice, how about some bread?

Do we have croissant?

Yes.

Mom, try this kiwi... just once, please.

Honey, you like croissant, right?

Let's not force her.

Please make her favorite foods anytime she wants.

Yes, sir.

Hi Amber!

Goodsoon!

Please take good care of her.

Ok.

Are you ok?

I could not sleep because of pain.

I'll treat you with pizza.

Pizza....

Jade, is Gangji home?

To the bookstore with Coral. Why?

Let's get in. Come.

I slept after an overnight work, and I saw a big pond in my dream.

There were full blossoms of lotus in the pond.

Sounds like a good dream.

A dream of conception.

A dream of conception?

Of your own?

Come on. Who can have a baby in our family except Gangji?

Didn't she say anything?

No.

Ask her when she's home. I'm so sure.

Isn't a dream during nap just a daydream?

Sometimes it has a meaning.

Any people can dream a dream of conception during a nap.

I rarely dream but I had dreams of conception of all of you.

Do you have any dream readings? Does lotus mean a daughter?

Grandma will know.

Oh...

She must be busy now.

You'll see my dream is something.

You look beautiful in this picture. Don't you think so?

Doesn't it make you want to go horse riding? Remember what her name is?

Can you recall? Two words.

Full moon.

You liked her white graceful look so you named her as "Full Moon".

Lunch is ready.

Thanks.

You must be hungry. Let's have lunch.

Let's go.

Wow, dumplings! Did you cool the soup?

It's lukewarm.

Have a seat.

Hold your spoon.

Mom, it'll be delicious.

Mom, please try...

Ma'am, just try some.

She made this with "love" only for you. Mom?

Mom, just once, ok?

Please?

Umm, delicious, very delicious.

Mom, ah...

Ma'am, would you like some warm milk?

Milk won't be enough.

Mom, just try five dumplings.

The doctor said you should eat well. Ok?

If you don't eat, your teeth will be weakened and fall out.

Please?

Mom, try just once.

Mom, just once... ah...

Mom!

If you're sitting tight, you cannot see Goodsoon.

Don't you miss her?

You don't wanna see her again?

Mom, please...

Ma'am, please open your mouth. You have to eat.

Or you can't take the medicine..

Thank you. Bye.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who is it?

It's me, Younggook.

Why?

Because.

May I come in?

What brought you here?

My mother is sick. I don't know what to do.

Where is she sick?

Does she need a serious surgery?

Alzheimer.

From a couple of weeks ago, she took a serious turn for the worse.

Let's talk inside.

Or you wanna go out?

Please call me if you need anything.

Thanks.

I am sorry.

Sorry for the abrupt visit like this.

Tell me in details.

Remember the day we said goodbye at the subway station,

I asked you to meet outside since I had a sudden appointment?

Yes.

It was an appointment with my father.

He informed me of my mother's disease and told me to return home.

Actually, she'd been against his decision to send me out.

He thought she'd get better if I was around her.

I was going to explain my situation to you and move back home.

But you told me about your feeling toward me first.

I had a mixed feeling, greatly happy but overwhelmed because of my mother.

Why didn't you tell me the truth?

Because I wasn't sure about her condition. And it was not a right topic in that mood.

I thought she wouldn't be serious because she's only in beginning state but,

as I saw her at home after our date, she was worse than I expected.

Remember we talked about dementia at dinner table?

I do.

You said this.

"It's not just a personal misery but it also brings pains to the entire family."

As I heard your saying, I was not able to bring up my story.

'Cause it could give you burden.

So I thought over and over and decided to disappear.

I'm sorry.

We've done our best in the hope that she would get better,

but she took a sharp turn for the worse.

How worse?

She refuses eating. It's been a few days.

She had only two sips of water today.

I beg her and try to feed her.

But she doesn't respond at all.

She simply refuses eating.

I think I have no other choice but put her on an IV.

I was so distressed so I just came out but...

somehow I was led to you.

Gloomy story, huh?

Sorry that I took you wrong.

I feel much better now after sharing this with you.

I couldn't tell my father this, though.

He must feel the same as I do.

Is there anything I can do?

I just hope I can talk to you like this once in a while.

Anytime.

Is everything going well?

Yes.

Kyle misses you much.

You're thoughtful to have sent him a birthday present in that situation.

May I ask how old your mother is?

Fifty-five.

Isn't she too young to get that disease?

I asked the same question to the doctor,

and he said it could happen to people in their 50's.

Can we take a walk?

Was the pond full of lotus?

Yes. That's a dream of conception, right?

Yes.

Wasn't it just a simple dream?

No, it's a dream of conception.

A boy or a girl?

Of course a girl, since lotus is a flower, right?

Not necessarily. Every flower carries different meaning.

Be that as it may, whom is the dream for?

Of course it's Gangji.

Oh, not now.

If they'll ever have a baby, the sooner is the better.

Look at us, our children support themselves already.

Right...

But Coral has an important exam ahead.

He won't be bothered by babysitting, ok?

Do you think he can focus on studying with his baby aside?

Come one. She'll give a birth this fall and by that time Coral's exam will be over.

He didn't even graduate the college.

There are many who became parents in their teens.

Anyway, ask Gangji if she's pregnant.

You feel better?

Yes.

I can understand how sand and overwhelmed you are.

Thank you.

You hand is cold.

I saw you in my dream many times.

Me too.

I missed you.

I'm sorry for this situation.

It's not your fault.

I'm sorry you feel sorry.

It's better to accept the situation as it is.

I know it's not easy but...

they say "if you can't avoid, then enjoy."

Be strong. Hang in there.

I will.

Tell me if you have any resentment left.

No, there's none.

I couldn't leave my mother, but I missed you and yet I couldn't tell you the truth...

It was so hard for me to endure.

I think I can bear now.

Why didn't you answer the phone?

I forgot to bring it with me yesterday.

Yesterday?

I just came from the temple.

Oh...

My schedule was canceled.

Then you'll stay at home?

Are you going to leave?

No.

Remember I asked your opinion about Ruby as my foster daughter?

Yes.

Did you ask her?

I didn't, because of her marriage talk.

Marriage talk?

Remember Ruby told you she once dated with a doctor?

Yes.

Seems they might get married.

Really?

Yes. She said it's over but I don't think so.

She's ready to forgive him, just waiting for a proper time.

Forgive?

It's a long story. Ask Ruby for detail.

Are you busy on Thursday evening?

That's Christmas Eve, right?

Yes.

I don't have any schedule.

Then let's dine out.

You should be with your mother.

Just a couple of hours. And she's not alone at home.

I'll stay available. Call me on Wednesday since things can change.

Ok.

Don't be anxious and boggle your mind.

Your mother would feel distraught if she senses her son is troubled by her.

I'll keep that in mind.

Take care.

Can I call you anytime?

Text me, then I'll call.

I like to introduce you to my mother.

I can meet her as a conversation partner.

How about for more than that?

Would I be selfish to get you involved in this situation?

Just focus on caring your mother. I will help you if there's anything I can do.

Seeing you again is already a great help to me.

I didn't misjudge him.

Alzheimer

That one, please.

This one?

How heavy is it?

I love bookstore dating with you.

Same here.

Refreshened, huh?

Sure.

Sorry, I'm late.

Time flies in bookstore. I understand.

What are we making for dinner?

Tofu strew.

My father told me he dreamed a dream of conception.

Oh...

Is his dream valid?

Yes.

Are you sure?

I didn't see the ob though.

Did you use self-diagnosis tester?

Yes. Yesterday.

What did Coral say?

I didn't tell him yet.

Congrats!

So I must be pregnant for sure since father had such a dream, right?

Go see the ob tomorrow with Coral.

They'll do urine test. I was thinking to see the ob during next week.

Do you any changes in your body?

I got to hate the smell of fish and it's hard to get up early.

Sleep in from tomorrow. Don't worry about preparing breakfast.

By the way what if Coral blames me?

Blame for what? Just go and tell him. He'll be glad.

Already set in studying?

Yep.

Why?

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

I'll be sad if you're hard on me after hearing.

What is it?

Come here and sit.

Did Jade find fault with you?

No...

You don't want a baby yet, right?

Why?

I didn't see the ob, but I think I got pregnant.

Are you serious?

Are you worried about other's reaction?

We're not supposed to have a baby until I graduate.

Then you shouldn't be going out too much like today.

I'm ok.

Somehow I feel weird though.

My heart flutters with joy.

Really?

Yes.

Thank you for having my baby.

The prenatal education doesn't include hitting the husband.

Our baby might punch a doctor as coming out.

Younggook is such a good son. Isn't he?

He is.

You must be proud of him, right?

Yes.

You're a blessed woman.

You can take a rest.

I'll come later.

You like ice cream, right?

Will you eat on your own? Or do you want me to feed you?

Delicious, huh?

Yes.

I should have thought of ice cream earlier.

Mom, I think your son is dull.

My son is brilliant.

So is my mom.

Mom, can I invite my friend?

Yes.

Girl friend.

Girl friend?

Yes.

Bring your fiancee, not a girl friend.

I wish Jade become my wife and we live - with you.

I wish you don't get any worse.

See? My dream of conception never fails.

How much did we earn?

As usual.

When you count the money, your eyes glitter.

Of course! Aren't you happy you don't have to give us pocket money anymore?

Good evening.

Oh...

Bring it back earlier next time.

I'm not late though... I washed it thoroughly.

Have some tea.

Next time.

Were you busy today?

Our business is busy at night.

Make sure you have full dinner for night time work.

Ok.

I'll charge you $10 for lunch from tomorrow.

Ok.

Hey, listen.

Gangji is pregnant.

So your dream was right!

Then why didn't she tell us earlier?

Just come here.

Can't believe you're an expert dreamer.

She didn't see the ob yet but she tested herself and found out.

It's not something a daughter-in-law can tell her father-in-law.

I heard it from Jade.

Anyway, it's a good news.

Gees...

It's all predestined. We can't have control over birth.

It sure is.

Are you that happy to become a grandpa?

You have Prince.

A grandchild is different from a son.

So Prince becomes an uncle soon.

Prince will be one year older than a baby, right?

Huh? No, no.

Two years.

Urg...it's the same.

I should have taught her about contraception.

It's better to have a baby sooner.

What if she has morning sickness? It'll bother Coral!

We can take care of her.

It's his job, not our job, ok?

And everybody is busy except Prince.

By the way, our next-door neighbors babysit Prince today.

We should give her something, huh?

Yes. Nothing's free in this world.

Why our family's getting bigger while the neighbor lady has no child?

That's blessing for us.

I wish her father gets better at this good news.

Don't show any unhappy look.

Don't worry.

Hey man, you'll have a nephew.

Nephew younger by only 2 years?

Good evening.

Why is she washing her hair at this hour?

Because we've been out in the downtown.

Can't believe this.

How do you feel?

Not bad.

If you failed the exam, then...

Stop talking about that. I had enough.

Which is more important? Study or a baby?

Stop. Just accept the reality.

What did your parents-in-law say?

We didn't tell them yet.

Why?

We'll tell them after seeing the ob.

They'll be so happy with the news.

Take extra care of her and be nicer.

Don't hurt her feeling even by words.

Yes.

He doesn't need your advice.

He's not like you.

Don't pick on me in every situation.

Oh, congratulations, Gangji!

Thank you.

Nothing is certain yet, though.

It's a sure thing since he dreamed the dream.

Any food you detest?

I got to hate the smell of fish.

Coral, I need your help.

You'll get more sleepy.

And get hungry for various foods.

It'll come in two or three months.

Gangji, go dry your hair, or you'll catch cold.

Just go and dry.

Yes, father.

A human dish washer?

Huh?

What is this?

My!

Oh my...

Myongja, thank you for giving me your lunch.

This is just an expression of my thankfulness.

Oh my...

Didn't you bring the key?

It's me.

What brought you here?

What?

Look at this.

What is this?

Isn't that a gold bracelet?

I can't believe you bought this.

I didn't buy it.

Then it's from Sangsik?

No. From April.

April?

It was in the lunch box.

Wasn't it in there by mistake?

No, no. Read this.

Myongja, thank you for giving me your lunch...

What on earth is he doing?

Is it a mere present or a bait?

Come on. What are you talking about? I know myself.

I wouldn't be attractive to any man.

Then he might have felt this.

You know the Buddhist term like "compassion."

Why are you wearing that?

Beautiful.

Will you take it?

I shouldn't. Right?

If you take that, you will have to bring him lunch box every day.

I think I can.

Are you selling your soul at that bracelet?

Why not?

I've never received a present like this, not even from my husband.

And my only son waits for a chance to take my stuff, instead of giving me a present.

The price of gold has risen high.

April is quite a liberal man.

Take it off.

I will. I will return it to him, ok?

Let me try it.

Why?

Can't I even try it?

What's wrong with you to yell at me?

Because I'm jealous!
