[Episode 53]

Did you lie to all of us?

Mother.

How dare you lie to the family!

You've conned us, haven't you?

No, you're mistaken.

My Auntie does live in New York.

Yea?

Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie!

I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight.

What's the commotion?

What do you think you're doing?

Honey! This girl, she...!

Mother!

Mother, what have I done to deserve this!

What? Hey, you...!

I've begged on my knees and pleaded with you!

I promised to cut down on work and focus on Woo-joo!

All day long, I was busy fulfilling my obligations to the company,

and I came home early today.

But Mother dumped cold water on me as soon as I arrived home!

And I was coming down with something...

I think I'm going to pass out.

You don't actually believe her, do you?

Silence!

I don't know what goes on around here anymore!

Are you even human?

This is your last day in this house!

I advise that you quit harassing me.

Unless you want me to tell everyone your secret.

What?

Hey, I don't think we'll be getting any dinner here tonight.

Let's go out and get something to eat.

Come here this instant!

I can't sit down with wet clothes, can I?

Let me get changed.

What am I going to do with her?

Do you understand?

What are you talking about?

Brother-in-law isn't the chairman's son.

How do you know that?

Who was it?

Who told you that?

Was it the chairman?

Are you laughing at me?

You're the one who told me, with your own lips.

Nonsense...

Outside of losing my mind, why would I?

When did I ever tell you such a thing...?

I gave birth to Kang-mo as soon as I graduated from high school,

and then he came along when I got married to Koo In-soo.

Did you blackmail my husband?

Like you're doing now?

Of course not.

I have every intention of maintaining your privacy.

After all, we're both women.

Mother.

What!

You feeble little thug!

You don't want the family to find out about Kang-mo, do you?

So you want this to make up for the fact...

that you lied about your relatives?

Isn't it pretty fair?

Are you trying to negotiate with your mother-in-law right now?

Married life also requires a strategy for success.

And isn't that how you've survived for the past 30 years?

When we first met,

you mentioned that I reminded you of yourself in many ways.

I think we have many things in common.

Don't make me laugh.

How could you...

compare yourself to someone like me!

Oh no, Mom.

What if Se-na gets kicked out of her house tonight?

Shouldn't you know her better by now?

Do you really think she'd accept that?

She'd kick out her mother-in-law before that ever happens.

Still, isn't it serious if she's caught lying about her family?

Seeing how she hasn't called, I don't think anything happened yet.

I'm so nervous.

That startled me!

Oh, no...

Pick it up, hurry.

I'm going to lose my mind...

Hey, I didn't say a thing! I wasn't trying to get caught!

It was bad luck!

Is that the best excuse you've got?

Seriously.

You can't blame me for being poor!

And I've never expected anything from you!

Why are you always giving me a hard time?

How do you know that lady that works at my house?

Oh, about that...

And why are you taking pictures with her?

Do you knowwhat I went through today because of you?

Your mother-in-law seems to have a bad temper.

Does she make your life difficult?

Anyways, my mother-in-law might go over there,

so get out of the chicken restaurant for the time being!

What?

I'm not going to close up shop just because I'm afraid of my in-laws!

Se-na, hey!

Is she serious?

If we don't work, how does she expect us to eat?

Suck on our fingers?

She's getting on my last nerve.

Mom.

Why didn't you get my call earlier?

Oh, I was busy.

Why were you so busy?

Were you too busy to get a call from your son?

Do you think I'm loafing around all day?

Now, I'm...

No, it's nothing.

Mom, you're making me suspicious.

Are you hiding something from us?

Why would I hide something from you?

I'm tired now.

I'm going to sleep.

Just a little longer...

I don't know what you're doing all day, but your muscles are tense.

Does Mrs. Oh make you work hard around the restaurant all day?

No, it's nothing like that.

I thought that I gained some weight,

so I went jogging around the neighborhood.

I think I've overexerted myself.

Mother, goodness...

You don't look overweight at all.

She's right. You're the prettiest lady I know.

I know that parents always adore their own children,

but I've never heard of a child adoring his parent.

Do you think parents are the only ones who feel that way?

Every son thinks that their mother is Miss Korea.

Mom, you're like a little girl.

Yes, Mother.

I was traumatized from what happened yesterday,

and I'm not feeling too well.

I want you to take care of breakfast.

Is this how you're going to be?

Have you forgotten what occurred yesterday?

I know who you really are now,

and asking for breakfast isn't asking too much from you.

I need to get ready for work,

and I don't have time to make breakfast!

Is that my problem?

I don't care if you get it catered,

or if you have to prepare it the night before.

From now on,

I'm sleeping in late because of my high blood pressure.

You got that?

If she told me in advance, I would've bought something!

This is so irritating!

Where is the rice!

Should I just boil some ramen for everyone?

That won't do.

Want my help?

Do you know how to cook?

Of course.

I'm a licensed chef.

We don't have time for this.

Father will be here soon.

I'll go buy something.

You won't find any place open this early.

Then what am I going to do?

I told you that I'll help.

You can simply sit and watch.

How was your morning exercise?

I've still got it in me, don't I?

Of course.

You always seem like a mountain to me.

Is that so?

If the women of our house were more quiet,

I'd ask for nothing more.

I'm sorry.

I know that it's been difficult for you.

But it seems like Woo-joo's mother has been putting in the effort lately.

I know that it's different between men and women, but...

But what can we do?

She's already become one of us,

and sometimes it makes sense to turn a blind eye.

I'll try.

Okay.

I hope we have a peaceful breakfast this morning.

Why are you coming out now? What about breakfast?

Isn't it about time that I get a break from that?

I look after the grandchild,

so our daughter-in-law will be managing breakfast from now on.

Have the two of you started bickering already?

Of course not, Father.

Breakfast is served.

Yea.

Let's go and eat.

I've kept it simple.

You consider this feast simple?

This isn't much...

I'm impressed.

How did you manage...

sto buy all of this so early in the morning?

How can you say that?

I've prepared all of this by myself, without using any artificial ingredients.

Father, please enjoy.

Go on.

It's really good.

Yea, it's not bad.

Father, I hope you enjoy it.

From now on, you prepare breakfast.

Pardon?

What a loving father-in-law!

It must be nice to be loved, Woo-joo's mother!

Why are you alone?

Everyone else is out on the field.

Really?

Jin Song-ah.

I want you to clean my office.

The cleaning lady already did that this morning.

I don't like the way she cleans.

You do know that it's well within my rights to ask this of you?

Clean my office.

Why won't you do it?

My mom cleaned your floors for over 10 years!

And I was living as your servant!

I hated living like that!

I'll do it.

Because it's work.

Can you stop kicking up the dust?

Is this what you wanted?

Why else do you think I've been striving to make it to the top?

You can try the same, if you want.

I don't know if it'll be possible, though.

Do you think you're successful?

Are you going to brag about yourself again?

You're nothing more than my subordinate!

Shut up and clean my office!

Unless you want me to fire you.

Have you lost your mind?

When I was hired,

I was not informed that I'd be cleaning offices.

If you're the chairman's daughter-in-law,

I advise that you keep up appearances.

I've had enough of you!

I'm not putting up with your nonsense any longer!

[After Oh Bit-na's drunk driving conviction,

the JH Group drops her from their marketing campaign]

It's going to be difficult to disassociate ourselves from Oh Bit-na.

We really could use Mrs. Hyun's help...

It's a shame.

Chief Kang mentioned that she was on her way to see Mrs. Hyun.

Really?

It's going to be difficult for her to pull that off.

Does she think she can avoid me by avoiding my calls?

I'll wait here until she comes out of her house.

Chief Kang's been giving Jin Song-ah a hard time?

Yes, Director.

I don't want to tell you this, but...

Tell me everything that's been going on.

Well, if you insist...

Chief Kang is a difficult person to get along with.

And this isn't because she threw a broom at my head.

She threw a broom at your head?

Luckily I wasn't badly injured,

but what if she struck a fatal nerve?

In that sense, I almost died today!

I'll apologize instead.

I know what you're going through.

Not at all.

I'm nothing but a lowly worker.

Don't think of it like that.

She's the one to blame here.

I apologize for that.

Thank you very much.

Then I'll continue to report to you...

in regard to Chief Kang.

Kang Se-na.

You're acting irrational as always.

Seriously...

This lady's more stubborn than I expected.

I'll be back.

Welcome...

What's that about?

Where's Bong going?

That's not really any of your business.

It's not like we're family anymore.

As he entered the stadium,

the marathon runner entered the final stretch...

Se-na came to the restaurant,

so please stay in the room!

Yea, okay!

I told you to close the restaurant.

Why won't you listen to me?

Why do you appear out of nowhere, barking orders?

I'm your aunt, not your daughter.

Stop changing the subject!

Se-na.

Do you have a miserable life at home?

Why are you becoming an unhappy person?

Does your mother-in-law give you a hard time?

What?

You know, a goose can tear its wings...

trying to keep up with swans...

You lied your way into that family,

so I bet you're sitting on pins and needles.

Do they treat you like an outcast?

You don't have to explain, because I can see it already.

Is that so?

Hey, Han Ra-bong.

This is why you can't get into college,

you bonehead.

Hey!

Who gave you permission to call my daughter a bonehead?

Ra-bong might not be as smart as you,

but she's a far better person than you'll ever be!

What gives you the right to come here...

and tell us to close up shop?

Are you going through with this?

Yea.

You only come here when you need something from me.

Otherwise, you ignore us.

Hey, I don't need a niece like you, either.

Where do you think you got that dirty personality from?

People used to know me in my hometown of Gunsan.

So don't get on my wrong side, got it?

You're embarrassing.

What?

I'd have better luck talking to a pig pen.

Why, you...!

Mom, did she just call us pigs?

I can't take this anymore!

I'm going to tear her hair out!

Hey, hey, hey.

Don't stoop down to her level.

Go toss salt outside the gate.

Seriously...

Nice to see you!

You said that you needed some work?

Yea.

Let's talk.

Okay.

I'm home.

Was Se-na outside?

No.

Was Se-na here?

I heard that she came by the restaurant.

Did she leave already?

Is that why you're hiding in the room?

What else could I do?

Se-na would try and drive us out again.

Mom.

We can't live here forever.

Why not? Why can't we stay here?

Once I make some money, I'll find a nice place for us.

Please be patient until then.

No.

No, I really like it here.

Who cares about living in a big house?

I prefer to live in a house full of smiles.

Do you like Mrs. Oh that much?

Yea.

I like Mrs. Oh.

She's nice and fun to be with.

What did you say?

So when your mother-in-law visits the chicken house,

you want me to inform your aunt?

So that the two of them never meet?

Why?

Is it too hard for you?

It's a piece of cake.

I've herded cattle in the countryside,

so handling women is nothing to me.

But this does sound a bit dangerous.

Dangerous, how?

At this rate, I could end up becoming your uncle!

I don't look forward to it myself.

It's not that I lack any feelings for your aunt.

She kind of grows on you.

But I don't like her niece very much.

You don't want to work with me?

Of course I do.

You're my very best customer.

Yea, that was a good breakfast.

Thank you, Father.

Now, sit down everyone.

What are you doing?

Go and fetch us some tea.

Honey, how about we go and get some chicken later?

What kind of women is expected to cook over the weekend?

We deserve a break, too.

I know a great place, so how about it?

Mother!

What the...?

You almost blew out my eardrums.

Are you starting again?

Why are the two of you always growling at each other?

Growling?

Does she even stand a chance against me?

So be the gracious one.

It's her job to adjust to my liking!

Why should I care about how my daughter-in-law feels?

Since she took my precious son from me,

the least she could do is be good to my family.

What did I ever do to you?

Do you want me to tell everyone now?

I don't want to waste my breath.

Mom, that's enough.

We're keeping Woo-joo's mother from getting the tea.

Oh, Mr. Moon.

That's because I mentioned the chicken house.

Hey, don't worry and get the tea.

I bet your legs hurts from standing there.

What does fried chicken have to do with sister-in-law?

You don't need to know.

Oh, my.

Why?

Does the sight of me blind you?

You're always looking like a bum,

but I see that you clean up well.

Are you heading to a date with Kyung-suk?

No, don't talk about Kyung-suk ever again.

She's a horrible woman who left me for another man.

Would you like to go on a date with me today?

And close the restaurant?

Oh, my goodness...

Are you trying to get fresh with me?

Bingo.

How can I win you over?

Well, um...

So, um...

My goodness.

Ruffling your feathers like that won't change anything, will it?

Feathers? Do I look like a peacock to you?

Seriously...

I'll give you some time,

so go inside and make yourself pretty.

Go on inside.

I'll give you about 15 minutes.

I can't even wash my hair in that time.

Then?

I'll need 30 minutes.

Okay, I got it.

Go and get ready.

Go on inside.

Hello?

Kang Se-na.

The chicken house will be closed today.

You can rest easy.

Goodbye now.

Wait a minute...

This isn't going to interfere with my business, is it?

My goodness...

Why are you acting like you're sick?

I'm sorry.

Your face is looking pale.

You should try and get some sleep.

Get some rest.

Yes, Father.

Let's go.

I don't like anything about you.

I'm really not feeling well.

Is that an excuse these days?

When I was raising my kids,

unless I was being dragged off in an ambulance!

How can you avoid your in-law's funeral?

I feel like passing out.

I'm sorry, Mother.

There's no use talking to you.

What are you doing in my room?

Don't worry.

We're the only ones here today.

Let's go out.

Should we go for a drive?

Mr. Moon?

Mr. Moon.

Don't tell me...?
