[Episode 23]

The weather is becoming hotter.

Are you doing well?

The kitchen is running just fine now, so you don't have to worry so much.

Your aunt got into the preliminary round for a vitamin

advertisement without your father-in-law knowing.

She acts like she's a superstar though.

It's so good.

Your uncle and aunt are the same.

How do the kids say it? They're very "cheesy."

For some odd reason, they're talking about having a late child.

Gosh, how embarrassing.

I'm telling you such strange things.

- Do this. - Sam-sook, wait for me!

You probably don't want to hear about Man-ho, so I won't mention him.

Come to daddy.

Se-ri, I'll take care of this, so go and rest. Okay?

Se-ri! Se-ri!

Se-ri!

- Jin-hwa! - Sun-hwa, we're late for the academy!

- Our puppies are doing well. - Sun-hwa, are you okay?

Jin-hwa takes after you.

- She takes care of her sister well. - Let's go.

I'm sorry.

Let's go slowly. Go slowly.

Last time, Jin-hwa got a first place award for the English

recital and put it in a box to show you later.

How can you be doing that while we're so busy?

I was about to go in.

I shouldn't have listened to the kids and bought you a cell-phone.

You didn't buy it for me. Hae-ryung did.

What are you mumbling to yourself about?

Let's go in.

[2 months later] By the way, Hae-ryung is doing well. She enjoys her job.

- I think her heart healed a lot. - [After School Cooking Class]

With today's theme of "What I Love The Most,"

we're going to be decorating a cream cake.

Everyone, you can do well, can't you?

Yes!

Okay, then, shall we start?

Here. Wow! It would be really pretty if you decorated it with this, right?

- It's pretty, right? - Yes.

Wow, it's pretty!

It's so pretty!

Is that Dreamland?

I'm looking forward to it.

Can I take it home?

Of course!

Take it and say "I made it," okay?

- Okay. - Ms. Bong.

He drew you!

Hey, stop it!

Shall I take a look?

Wow! Soo-min, you drew me so nicely!

Shall we draw your face on here as well?

Yes.

Let's use this one to draw it together.

Like this. Draw the face shape and the ears.

Let's draw the ears and lastly draw the mouth like this.

Did everyone have a good time today?

Yes!

Ms. Bong, please draw it for me, too.

- Me, too! - Me, too!

- Should I? - Yes!

Are you okay?

Oh my god!

You don't look okay.

Huh? Oh, no.

If you're okay, I'm okay, too.

It's not my fault.

You're right.

It's not your fault. Don't worry.

What's your name?

You don't have to know.

Daddy!

That punk.

What are you doing? Aren't we going home?

Young-woo, hold on.

Stay right there.

Daddy!

Daddy!

I'm sorry.

I thought I knew her.

Let's go. I have to stop by the bookstore.

Seo Young-woo,

did you throw away your textbook again?

I told you I was going to punish you if you did it again.

I didn't throw it away on purpose.

Something dirty got on it.

In any case, you're so tidy.

Son.

A student who doesn't value his books-

Is a bad student.

The book is gone anyways.

But you don't have to buy it for me.

To be honest, I know the content already.

Let's go.

Hey, genius Seo Young-woo. Wait for me.

Let's go see if daddy is working well, okay?

Why don't you say hello?

My goodness. Madam, you must be upset because a commoner like me didn't say hello.

Hello, madam.

I'm not the Joo Se-ri who used to assist you in the kitchen anymore.

I'm going to become the wife of the future owner of this restaurant.

If you do this, you'll regret it.

Yes, yes. I'll be careful.

Even Mi-soon who led the restaurant didn't act all high and mighty to us.

How dare you.

Se-ri, if you're going be like this, don't come here.

Everyone curses you behind your back.

What?

Who?

From now on, write all their names down.

Man-ho!

Se-ri, my father only makes me peel opinions. Do I really have to do this?

Yes, you do.

You have to get your Chinese food handler certificate and make

sure you please father. That's the only way Woo-ri and I can live.

You must become the successor of the restaurant.

You know what I mean, don't you?

Of course I do.

I'll peel them.

I'm not crying because I'm sad. I'm crying because it's spicy.

Peel these, too.

Father, it's hard working, isn't it?

Woo-ri say, "Grandpa, have strength!"

Why are you here again?

Because I'm grateful Man-ho came to his senses

and decided to learn from the beginning.

I came to cheer him up.

Father, I'm happy I could do this.

If you're going to do it, do it properly.

See? I won't get any compliments doing this.

Don't forget.

Woo-ri and I came into this house believing in you.

I know.

You're great, Man-ho.

Se-ri...

Tonight...

let's...

I'll be going now.

Mother will be looking for me.

Oh, I should hurry.

Se-ri, where...?

Just my luck.

What are they doing every day?

- [Under Construction] - There's so much dust.

You're in front of a restaurant! Be careful!

Mother, where are you going?

Oh, you said it was grandfather's memorial service, right?

Are you going to the market?

Let me go with you.

Oh, I'm going to a meeting.

Then what about the food for the memorial ceremony?

Why would I worry when you're here?

Me?

I've never done a memorial ceremony before.

I have Woo-ri, too.

"Mother, if you accept me, I'll take care of all the household and ceremonies."

"Don't worry about anything. I can do better than Mi-soon."

Did you or did you not say that?

I can do it!

Yes. Don't worry and go.

Mi-soon prepared all the food for holidays and

memorial ceremonies by herself while working at the restaurant.

Both of the aunts are working, so nobody can help you today.

Use this chance to show off your skills.

- Yes... - I'm going to come home really late today. Do well!

Yes! Don't worry and go, mother.

How do I prepare all this?

It's hot.

Gosh, it's already summer.

It's not that hot yet.

Want to sleep at my house after we drop by the bookstore?

I'll even cook for you.

I'm really good at cooking.

It's my turn for me to eat dinner with mom's family tonight.

I promised to stay there for a week and a half.

That way, it's fair.

Dad!

Oh, it's the weird teacher.

Put this on and apply ointment on it when you get home.

I can't trouble you when we met for the first time.

You already did trouble me when we met for the first time.

I told you to apply ointment on it.

It didn't heal yet.

Geez, why is it so hot?

I'm going nuts.

I told you I can come pick it up.

I was out anyways.

I'll make you ice coffee.

No!

I just want cold water.

Water?

Here's your water.

Let me see.

I picked out a few samples from a magazine you should refer to,

but there weren't a lot of things you wanted.

Thank you. I'll find out anything else I need.

How's school? Is it all right?

Yes.

The children are so sweet.

It must be the perfect job for you.

But does it really have to be Seo-jin's school?

What will you do if you run into your ex-mother-in-law?

I didn't go there on purpose. There was a position available.

It doesn't matter if we bump into each other anymore.

It's all over.

Bong Hae-ryung, you've become stronger.

Tell me if you need anything else while you prepare for your lectures.

I won't be able to help you starting from next week.

I'm being dispatched to China for two years.

What?

Why so suddenly?

Did father give you permission?

No.

He's the kind of person who won't let me be independent in the

same country unless I get married. He wouldn't give me permission.

But even if he doesn't give me permission, I'm going to go.

I'm running away.

You made this decision carefully, right?

This is the best filial duty I can do.

So comfortable!

I'm going to lie down for a bit.

You're receiving a lot of respect from many people.

This time, you're going to make Seo-jin Scholarship Foundation?

Yes.

Seo-jin is...

the name of my grandson who passed away.

This scholarship foundation under his name is a way

I, as a grandmother, will be able to always remember him.

It's a very heartbreaking but touching story.

- Your son... - What is that lady up to now using Seo-jin like that?

It's okay.

I don't care anymore.

The blind date you'll meet today is-

Age thirty-three. Daughter of Seon-ho Pharmaceutical Company.

She majored in cello and studied abroad, but now, she's preparing for marriage.

Her only flaw is that she broke off an engagement before.

I know.

I'm worried about that also,

but since she's the only daughter and only spent her time doing concerts,

who else would inherit the company?

Why does it matter if she broke off an engagement?

I got divorced.

Right?

Yes.

It'll be tiring if a perfect woman comes into the family.

I want you to give her a chance.

I will.

Oh, and about the Seo-jin Scholarship Foundation...

I think it would be better if you led it rather than me.

Of course, I know you don't like appearing in front of many people-

I'll do it.

Really?

Thank you.

I feel happy that you have a very bright and cool personality.

I'm the type who can't hold things in.

It's good to be honest with each other.

Of course.

Which is why I want to ask, when we get married,

will it be all right to live near my family?

As you know, I'm the only daughter, and I think my parents will be very lonely.

It's rare to see such a devoted daughter these days.

We'll discuss that matter in the future.

It's stifling in here. Should we go out?

Your mother must be very busy. Why don't we take a walk?

Oh, yes, you're right. I had an appointment.

Then I'll be going first, so you two have a good time.

You should take her to a nearby gallery.

Yes, I will.

Good-bye.

Are you a filial son or a mama's boy?

I like you,

but it'd be a bit troublesome if I was second in your life.

Should we go out?

Bring me some ice water!

My goodness.

I'll just have to take it as a wealthy single daughter's cute tantrum.

It'll take a long time to educate her.

Do you like the daughter of Seon-ho Pharmaceutical Company?

I'm worried that she's too bright,

but she's not bad.

It seemed like Hyun-ki didn't dislike her either.

I'm glad that Hyun-ki came to his senses rather quickly.

Does Hyun-ki

look fine to you?

He finally came back to being the way he was.

I should've made him get a divorce sooner.

For the past month,

he has gone on sixteen blind dates.

Not even once has he ever rejected them or expressed his feelings.

It seems like you're hoping he doesn't like any of them.

That's not what I meant.

I told you to fulfill your duty and keep your place.

Let's go eat lunch!

Yeah, let's go eat.

Yes! I was waiting!

- Where should we go? - What's a good place?

- Pork kimchi stew! - Shrimp!

Let's go eat something good today. It's my treat.

All of you heard, right? It's Mr. Lee's treat! Applause!

Where should we go?

- Somewhere expensive! - A nice place!

But did Ms. Bong go somewhere?

Ms. Bong doesn't eat lunch with us lately. She always has appointments.

- Weird. - Right.

Appointments? Every day?

Oh, I forgot I had something to do. I'll buy next time. Have a good lunch.

- What? But... - Mr. Lee!

What's with him?

These photos will be good for the "Shanghai Knights" special feature.

I'll get confirmation by the head company and contact you again.

When you say that, it would be better for you to use a different expression.

That's right.

What's wrong with her? Why is she smiling so prettily at him?

What is he so happy about?

We'll stop here today.

Okay.

Mr. Lee, what are you doing here?

What else would I do at a coffee shop besides drink coffee?

Then what are you doing here?

Mind your own business.

Let's go. I learned a lot today.

Oh, good pronunciation. You've gotten a lot better.

I'm glad!

Let's go!

Gosh, seriously! What are they saying?

Hold on.

She's not going to China because she's upset at me,

but she's going for him?

How can you be so good at making pancakes, Sam-sik?

I was good at being your assistant during holidays and memorial ceremonies.

You're right.

Sam-bong doesn't even lift a finger in the kitchen except at the restaurant,

but you helped me out a lot.

Why did I help you?

To eat pancakes while making them.

That's why I helped you!

Sook-nyeo, is it really all right for you to do this?

If you don't want to see Se-ri, you should have told her to stay outside.

I was just mad at her.

I'm becoming a bad mother-in-law, aren't I?

She's not going to do it anyways.

Seeing pancakes reminds me of Mi-soon. She made incredible pancakes-

I-I'm sorry, Sook-nyeo.

Everyone!

Oh my gosh!

Everyone!

I made the finals!

Really?

Oh my goodness! Every man has his own trade!

Wow! You really did it this time! Nice! You're the best!

Are you guys complimenting or cursing me?

You only care for Sam-bong with your words.

Sam-bong can't properly eat these days because of the

kids' problems and the dropping sales of the restaurant.

How can you trouble him, too?

That's true.

It'll be terrible if Sam-bong faints.

Sam-sook, don't do it!

I really wanted to congratulate you.

It's too bad, Sam-sook.

I'm just being an advertisement model for a short time.

All of you just have to keep it a secret. Okay?

I'm not sure. You'll be itching to tell the whole

neighborhood about it. Will you be able to keep it a secret?

We're going to stop talking about this here.

Quickly wash your hands and come help with this.

I...

have to take care of my body.

If I sit here and make pancakes, my blood won't be able to circulate well.

And if I eat pancakes while making them, I'll consume too much calories.

I can't do it.

My goodness. Then I should stop, too.

For in-laws I've never met before, I lose my

health and gain weight. I can't do it either.

I'll do it.

I'll do it, Sook-nyeo.

But Sook-nyeo, I've been making pancakes the

entire day. I started my day making pancakes.

Gosh, seriously.

All right. We have no time, so let's hurry up.

Let's hurry up.

Look at this. It's amazing! It's all crispy and nice.

It's burnt!

How many kinds of pancakes are there?

Why do I have to suffer alone in this heat?

No.

This is a test and a trap.

If I mess this up, I'll never get another chance again!

Yes!

Cheer up! Now, what should I do next?

[Mother's Hands Catering for Memorial Ceremonies]

It's the thought that counts!

They'll do better than me.

Is this the catering service for memorial ceremonies?

Can you deliver it on the same day?

Oh my goodness! Really?

When did you come? I-It's hot, right?

It's hot.

Grind orange for us.

We need to eat it and go to the academy.

Jin-hwa, as you can see, I'm pretty busy right now.

As expected, you can't last a month.

You said you would do anything we wanted.

Like. A. Mom. Does.

Then, since we're out of oranges, how about something else-

Oranges.

Let's go.

Gosh, that little brat.

Remain calm.

Hello. I called you earlier.

Did you get consent of operation for Han Sung-min?

Well, the guardian is still hesitating about the operation.

It's because there's a possibility for an optic nerve damage, isn't it?

I'll meet with them myself, so make an appointment for me.

All right.

And as for the patient we operated on yesterday-

I'm sorry. Hold on.

Wait!

The doors are closing.

I'm sorry.

Crazy jerk.

Ji-gun, I mean Dr. Seo, what's wrong?

I keep seeing illusions, and my head isn't in the right place.

I think I'm the one with a brain problem.

Find a good doctor.

Hello. I'm organizing my recipes right now.

It's difficult since I have to make it easy

for the beginners who don't know how to cook.

I'll look for more data.

The reactions are good.

There are many children character lunches, but

not a lot of animation lunches made for adults.

How did you come up with such an idea?

What kind of movies do you like?

Animation.

Ones with lots of dreams and hopes.

Everything we never imagined is made possible in there.

To be honest, I wanted to get you a better present, but I purposely picked a clock.

Don't regret the past,

and from now on, just use this time for yourself.

Bong Hae-ryung's time.

Seeing that the clock has stopped, a lot of time must have passed by.

By now, I hope you like me, too.

Isn't she a strange woman?

She had a boyfriend, but she spied on me.

She tried to know all sorts of things about me. Why?

Is she a player?

And now she's being dispatched to China!

Does the company have to help her romance life?

Ji-gun.

Are you listening to me?

I've been talking this entire time, but you're staring at your phone?

No one's calling you.

So to make the long story short,

the Bong Hae-won who you thought liked you

is going to China with another man, so you're feeling jealous and angry.

Who's jealous? I'm just ticked off.

But how did you know that woman was Bong Hae-won?

Don't try to think with your stupid head, but ask your heart

if you want to hold her back.

I think that's what you need to do.

Am I crazy?

You might really go crazy if she leaves.

Think carefully.

Wow! You got it all wrong! I told you that's not true!

Yes, Young-woo.

Did you eat dinner?

Did you buy the book?

Of course I bought it!

You know me.

I do. That's why I'm checking.

Buy it before the store closes.

Bye.

I was just going to go buy it.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Where are the elementary school textbooks?

You can go to D19.

Thank you.

Are you going to keep doing this?

This is becoming serious. You're going to have

to admit to the hospital and get treatment.

Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hi, Joo-young.

It's me.

How have you been?

I'm doing well.

I'm doing what I want and living comfortably.

Yes.

I'm happy.

I've become happy.

Don't worry about me.

Of course I'm eating well.

I eat all the food I make while preparing for the cookbook.

I think I gained some weight.

I miss you.

Oh, the bus is coming.

Yeah.

Good-bye.

Take care.

I'm glad you seem to be doing well.

It's been a while.

I missed you.

I miss you.

I really...

miss you.

I told you not to hang your head low. You don't listen to me.

What are you doing? Aren't you going?

You said you missed me.

Then you have to see me.

You're a terrible liar. You used to be good at lying.

It was completely obvious.

Me, too.

I missed you, too.

That's why I regretted a lot.

I shouldn't have let go of your hand back then.

I should have told you to look at me.

I couldn't stand it anymore. I thought I would become a patient.

It doesn't make sense that a teacher makes it impossible for her student to live.

All of you are coming together.

Oh, we met over there.

You must have worked hard the entire day.

Would she have even done anything?

We need to hurry up.

No, mother.

I prepared everything.

Perfectly.

Didn't you say it was your first time preparing food for a memorial ceremony?

You're pretty amazing.

You had to watch Woo-ri, too. When did you make all of this?

I looked up the things I didn't know on the internet and tried my best.

Mother, is anything missing?

Well... this is enough.

I don't know about the taste though.

I saved some food for us to eat.

Would you like to try some?

Oh my goodness! You already prepared everything?

I was going to help you.

It was a hot day. Good job.

Yes, father. It was hot being in front of the stove the entire day.

What is she talking about?

Did you make her prepare for the memorial ceremony?

No. T-That's not it, Sam-bong.

Father, Se-ri could do it, too.

Wow! The food is glowing!

Sook-nyeo, follow me.

Are you out of your mind?

Do you think my parents would want to eat the food she made them?

I'm sorry.

She kept being impudent by claiming she can do anything well.

We made all the food at Sam-sik's house.

We just had to put the fruit out and set up the table-

Good for you.

You must have a lot of money.

I'm going to deduct 20% from this month's living expenses. Just keep that in mind.

Wait, Sam-bong-

Jin-hwa, what are all these?

Sam-bong! Sook-nyeo! Come out!

[Mother's Hands Catering for Memorial Ceremonies]

Um, Jin-hwa, why are you bringing trash inside? We have to do a memorial ceremony soon.

My princess, if you do this, you'll be a bad child.

Grandma and grandpa. Aren't liars even worse?

Mother's Hands Catering for Memorial Ceremonies?

Mother!

Please taste the soup!

Rather than picking up abandoned boxes, it's worse

to buy food and lie that you made them yourself.

Why are you saying that while looking at me?

W-What's that?

You can call them

and ask where they delivered this.

Be honest.

Did you really make all of this food?

Huh?

The thing is...

I tried, but...

it was too hard.

Gosh, of course mom. How can she make all this while watching the baby?

It's your fault for making her do this.

Father, Se-ri was just trying her best-

Throw them out and set it up again.

Se-ri, stay in your room during the memorial ceremony.

Father...

We did all our homework and brushed our teeth.

We're going to sleep now.

Okay.

Good night, mom.

I love you!

I love you, too, mom. Good night.

Let's sleep.

Okay!

Sun-hwa, good night.

Good night, Jin-hwa.

How have you been?

Were you sick?

Did you eat well?

You were you were going to publish a cookbook, right?

I asked you stupid questions.

I started to teach children how to cook,

and I've been preparing for a cookbook.

On the weekends, I helped out at my dad's restaurant.

I was pretty busy.

Oh!

I ate well,

and I wasn't sick.

What about you?

Young-woo came.

Oh, really?

When I'm with him, I'm busy getting nagged at,

so I don't even know how the time went by.

When I'm not with him,

I was too busy thinking about someone that I don't know what I did that day.

Thinking about it now, I didn't live with my head on right.

Wow. If your patients heard you, they'd be scared

that their doctor didn't have his head on right.

Oh, that's right.

The clock stopped, so I bought batteries.

Oh, I'll change them for you.

No, I can do that much.

Men do the hard things.

I have to do it.

So don't touch that clock, okay?

I guess...

I'll like you from now on.

I wish you can

eat the lunch box I made with me.

I wish you can be next to me when I ride the bus.

I missed the person

who would tell me it's okay and

to lift my head up

whenever I have it down, too.

Now I'm...

alive.

"Yesterday I complained for no reason. I'm sorry. Don't be mad."

"Dear husband, you skipped breakfast because you were mad at me,

so I starved the whole day, too. I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

"Today was our wedding anniversary, but you forgot, didn't you?

I tried to understand because you're really busy, but

I'm still upset. I'm sorry I'm a narrow-minded wife."

Are you sick?

I have a headache.

What are you doing here and not sleeping?

Oh, well I came to get some water and saw the light on.

What do you think about the woman you met today?

What about you?

Well, she's not that gentle,

but since she's the daughter of a wealthy

family, she's not scheming, so it wasn't bad.

Then it's not bad for me either.

Then...

are you willing to meet her a few more times?

Would you like me to do that?

Well, I'm satisfied with her as your spouse,

but your feelings are important as well-

Then...

I'll meet her a few more times.

All right.

Um, there's a simple interview at my shop tomorrow morning,

and they want to meet you.

Will you be all right?

Yes. I'll make time.

All right. Thank you.

Don't push yourself and go to bed.

Good night.

Does Hyun-ki look fine to you?

As the weather suddenly got hotter, the sales reduced by 20% from last month.

That's why, as I've told you yesterday, we're going to have the 369 Day today.

Gosh! They're at it again!

So, the 369 Day...

So the thing is...

it's an event where the 30th, 60th, and 90th table gets to eat for free,

but gosh... isn't it too much for us if there's a big group?

She's right.

There's news that our restaurant food is delicious, so people

will order a lot of black bean noodles and seafood noodle soup!

Wouldn't we suffer a loss instead?

That's why it's an event.

From now on, each of you can do what you are responsible for.

Dismissed.

I actually slept in. I would've been late.

Oh, that's strange.

I feel like you're blaming me.

Mr. Seo, can you hang up now? I'm kind of busy.

Oh, I called because there's an emergency.

Is something wrong?

I miss you.

I'm going to hang up now.

I won't take too much of your time, so don't worry.

I have two hours until my staff meeting starts.

You just have to end it before then.

That-

What is it, Ms. Jang?

Oh... it's nothing.

Hurry up and drive.

- Sam-bong! - Sam-bong!

Father!

What is that?

Leave today's sales up to us!

That's right!

We prepared an event for Gahwamansasung's sales.

Okay. Music cue!

An event must be loud to draw the attention of people.

W-What is that?

I don't know. What is that?

[Mansasung]

Mansasung?

What kind of brainless person sets up Mansasung right in front of Gahwamansasung?

I thought a supermarket was going to come in!

Those people-!

Sam-bong, are you all right?

Sam-bong, I'll take care of it.

Put down that sign at once!

I told you to put down that sign at once.

We don't have any power. Talk to the owner.

Let's go.

That man.

Where's the owner?

Come out right now!

Were you looking for me?

M-Mi-soon...

I'm the owner of Mansasung.

- Sam-bong! - Sam-bong!

Sam-bong, are you okay?

What is your son's name?

His name is Seo-jin. Yoo Seo-jin.

There's no place for you anymore.

You seem to know me when I don't know myself at all.

A mother will go through war to get her children back with whoever she must.

If you go under in three months, don't even think about seeing your kids again!

Why does it have to be that child's mom?

I love her too much.
