So...

How many job interviews have you done so far?

This would be my third.

Nobody is hiring these days.

No, they can't.

We're lucky that our company hasn't announced any lay offs yet.

The industry is hurting, that's why your firm went under.

But your publishing firm seems fine.

Aigoo... Not really.

It's a tough market.

I knew you'd turn me down.

Wait a minute, then did you come here to see me squirm in my sweat?

Hey, I'm not that twisted.

I just came here to remind you that I'm a diamond in the rough.

You told me so when we were working together.

"Hey, Jo MiSoo, you're going to be a diamond when you get trained properly."

You told me that.

That's right.

I remember. However, the timing is totally off with this kind of economy

When do you think things will get better?

Why? Are you going to wait?

No. If some no-name publisher tells me to show up tomorrow, I'm going.

Aja! (Means Fighting or heads up!!) C'mon, Jo MiSoo!

You're not some nobody.

Got it?

Auntie.

What is wrong?

Your mom isn't here?

Dad called so she had to go.

Oh wow, your dad called.

It's been a long time, hasn't it?

But, Mom didn't take us with her, and just went on her own.

Are you guys upset over that?

Auntie, we're bored. Please play with us.

Alright. Let's go in. Let's go in!!!

Structure is a dramatic combination of skill and art.

Where do you guys think it's closer, skill or art?

Its basic goals

are shown clearly in "De Architectura", which was written by Vitruvius at around 25 BC:

commodity, firmness, and delight.

Please answer, Mi Soo. I need to concentrate on this class.

I won't be able to graduate if I fail this one.

We are able to see 3 different views from side of art, skill, and the combination of both.

However, any of these...

All done?

Yes.

All done, huh?

How is it that you're coming in together?

(Jokingly) I waited on him for a century.

Young Min, sit.

You don't know why I called you, do you?

No.

Mom wants you to come to the house and have dinner with us.

She found out that you're here to teach today.

I think she prepared something nice. She told me to bring you with me.

Do you have any other appointment?

I just need to make a call to my office.

Hyun Woo: What's your reason for ignoring my calls and my texts?

It's me, Hyun Woo. I just came back.

I was busy being a babysitter.

Hello?

You met with Dad?

Wait one moment, Hyun Woo. Is it your mom?

Yeah.

Yoon Mi, I'm with your dad right now. Your dad misses you a lot. Here, I'll put him on.

Yoon Mi, it's your dad.

Has my older daughter been well?

Dad is doing well, too.

Of course, I miss you a lot. Words can't even tell you how much I miss you.

Dad, when will we meet?

Me too.

Yoon Ji, after your sister's done.

I miss you, Dad.

Dad is sorry, Yoon Mi. I'm really sorry.

Of course. I'll call you again real soon.

Listen well to your mom and take good care of your little sister.

She's very good to her little sister. She's like a little mom.

You understand that I can't see you because of my business matters, right?

I'll be able to live with you again soon, so just wait a little longer.

Okay?

How soon is soon? After 10 day? 20 days?

Me, too!

Alright. I'll put Yoon Ji on.

Dad...

Kiss?

Did you give your dad a kiss?

How about some Mackerel? You haven't purchased it in a while.

Some salted ones and some fresh ones just came in.

Maybe next time.

Grandma, I'd like one radish, please.

Hey, so what happened?

How hurt is he? Did he get seriously hurt?

What?

I'm talking about your son-in-law.

My son-in-law?!

It looks like you don't know yet. Earlier, your eldest daughter

came by to borrow 100,000 won because her husband got into a car accident and she couldn't reach you.

So, you haven't heard anything from her, yet? Don't you have a cell phone?

A car accident? My son-in-law?

Yes!

She never called me.

It looks like you didn't know.

Hey, wait! You have to take your radish.

Yoon Mi! Kids!

Grandma is here.

You're here. What's going on?

Which hospital is it? How bad is he?

Did Mi Sun call?

Yes. The kids talked to brother-in-law as well. But, what hospital are you talking about?

I heard there's been a car accident!

What car accident are you talking about? The kids just talked to him a few minutes back.

Grandma, Dad didn't get into a car accident.

But, then...What was Grandma Oh-Gyu talking about?

Then, did they hide it from us, because they thought we'd worry?

No, no way, Mom!

Given Unnie's personality, do you think she could have stayed this calm if brother-in-law had been in an accident?

Earlier, your eldest daughter came by to borrow 100,000 won because her husband got into a car accident and she couldn't reach you.

I'm sure it's nothing, Mom. That grandma must have us confused with some other household.

She is a bit old, you know.

She's a lot sharper than me.

Then, why would she talk about something as nonsensical as brother-in-law getting into an accident?

What a rascal.

You should eat some, too.

Ajumma, (endearing term) more Soju please.

You should eat.

Here. Eat some.

It's good, isn't it?

Please try to have proper meals, I beg you.

Please don't skip a meal even if it's a bothersome. You'll get sick. Don't skip it, okay.?

You don't understand how it is to be a fugitive.

No one considers me as a human after running away from all those debts.

Please stop saying that. Please...

It makes my heart bleed.

I've been thinking... I need to sell my organs. That's the only way.

Are you crazy? If you keep saying that I'm going to kill myself with our children.

Alright. Alright. It was my mistake, Honey.

Wouldn't I think that when I can't come up with any other solutions?

It's not like mother (in-law) will sell the store and pay it off for us.

I don't see a way out.

She wouldn't help me. We're not even married anymore.

We didn't get divorced for real.

It's all cuz of the debts. Please stop saying that you're going to sell your organ.

It kills me to hear that.

I understand. please don't cry..

That's right. It's not like, I will just end like this.

Soon there'll be a time for me.

I will make it. I can make it!

But honey. Did you bring any money?

How much do you have?

I'm sorry it isn't much.

I think I need to get a job. It's just too hard right now.

I understand what you're saying, but..

I can't make you do that.

I feel so bad that I'm only able to give you this little money.

I feel so bad for you.

Mom, I'm going out.

Mom.

Where are you going this late?

Hyun-Woo kept bugging me to come out.

Mom, don't scold sis too much.

I'm leaving.

Be careful out there.

Get in.

Jang Hyun-Woo!

Get in.

Was that you?

Where did you get this kind of car?

Hurry and get in.

Are you test driving?

What a great imagination!

It was all worth it right?

Isn't this car for empty brained losers?

That means I'm not an empty brain?

You look like one driving this kind of car.

I just don't understand your parents.

Why?

I mean yeah you're a good student and all, but it's not like you're even done with school..

That's just how I feel.

How do you feel riding in it?

I'm confused about whether I should feel delighted or cynical.

What are you going to do? Because of this car you'll have girls crawling all over you.

Not yet since the car was just delivered yesterday.

But to be honest MiSoo, this isn't my car. It's my mom's car.

Your mom's car?

You're saying this is your mom's car?

She's driving this car at her age?

She must be 60 by now.

She'll faint if she hears you. She hates to talk about her age.

She isn't 60 yet?

Wait here. I'll go get some vending machine coffee.

Wait a sec.

30yr wedding anniversary gift?

Your dad bought this for your mom?

Yes.

A convertible?.

why

This kind car is for a young lover from their sugar daddy.

Writer perfect respond

I knew your family is wealthy but it's very surprising.

How could he buy something like this for your mom?

My mom really loved movies when she was young.

Her dream was to ride in a convertible, wearing a long scarf.

Just like us pretending that we're DeCaprio and the heroine from the Titanic, spreading our arms out like they did.

Your dad didn't look like a romantacist.

I mean.. he doesn't look that romantic.

Wow!

He remembered your mom's dream after all these years, then fulfilled it when she turned 60..

He's sooo cool!

Your mom must've been so touched. So did she ride the car like in a movie?

Not even. My dad just got into a load of trouble.

What? Why?

Because he turned her dream into reality.

She said, A dream should remain a dream." Why did he make the decision to ruin her dream He got a load of trouble.

That's not fair.

Your mom's really different.

Shouldn't she be crying tears of joy?

Maybe I was being over-dramatic.

It's more like, he got in a bit of hot water.

How did your dad feel after that?

Leave it to them to make peace Let's go skiiing next week, Mi-Soo.

I don't want.

I can't

C'mon~ I told you I can't

Why can't you?

Don't you know that I don't have any skiwear?

It's a given that I don't have a ski equipment, and I don't have skiwear either.

Plus, I'm unemployed. I've been unemployed for the last three months.

Did that stop you last year?

You went anyway.

Are you telling me to borrow your cousin's again?

I'm to embarrassed to do that, so I don't want to. So you go by yourself.

And I'm not gonna try and live at your level anymore.

I'm gonna live at my own level.

Jeez... how can three months of unemployment turn a person into this?

C'mon. Let's go.

Hey Jo MiSo, don't you pity me for not having a girlfriend?

Play with me, eh?

You're unattached 'cause you want to play around, playboy.

Hehe. Well, still.. You're at the top of my list, Mi-Soo.

I'm still not going.

Well... how about if I act cute?

Doesn't suit you.

Hi, mom!

Are you just now making dinner?

What is the matter with you, mom?

Are you crazy? What are you doing? Jesus, it's cold.

When are you going to grow up, huh?

Why? What did I do?

[Sarcastic] What did I do?!?

What did I do to deserve that?

How can you look down on me for something like this?

Does being poor make me less of a daughter?

You're not my real mom--you're a stepmom, aren't you?

You know what? I don't want to be your mother any more, either.

What kind of mom is that?

Who throws water on someone in this cold winter weather?

Who's a mother? What kind of mother is that? It's because I don't have a husband that I'm treated this way, isn't it?

Get engaged, soon become a full-time professor, hold the wedding before the new term. That should be that then..

When will he be appointed a full-time?

Your dad's word is the same as a full-time position.

I guess we'll have to call you Prof. Han from now.

He's already a professor. He's been teaching at the university, so of course he's a professor.

- Mom, Young-Min's a popular professor. - There's a difference between being a part-time and a full-time staff. Am I right, Prof. Han..?

Yes, you're right, of course.

If you want to go to Seoul, you need to get going. It'll take at least an hour..

- If you need any help with the wedding gifts, call me. - Mom, I told you not to worry..

We'll take care of it ourselves.

i am happy

Sis, Mom says to come out.

Tell her I'm asleep.

Tell her I'm asleep.

Mom knows you're not sleeping.

And do you really think mom's going to let you sleep?

She'll come and get you.

Geez....

Use it to pay back.

Mom...

Next time you borrow money, tell her I suffered a car accident.

What was I to do? Yim Subang (husband) called, and I didn't have any money.

And you told her he got into a car accident?

I was afraid she wouldn't lend it to me otherwise.

Mom, I'm really sorry. I'll never do it again.

Thank you, mom. Thanks so much.

Aigoo, get away. I said get away.

Thank you, mom.

What about Yim son-in-law? How long is he going to keep living like this??

Well, he has no choice. He's busy trying to evade the loansharks.

But still, Yim Hang-Sik will not simply go down like this.

It's just his thoughts...he won't go down like this.

He should do manual labor if he has to and repay his debts.

How's running away going to help?

How is he going to pay back his debt with just manual labor?

Is he going to live on the run for the rest of his life?

Mom, I believe that even if the heavens fall there's a ray of light.

So don't hate Yoon-Ji's dad so much.

Aigoo.. I can't stand looking at you so get out of here and go to sleep.

Mom, thank you again.

- Good night, mom. And you, too, Mi-Soo. - Good night.

Aigoo... that pathetic kid.

Mom, would you like me to massage your legs?

Aigoo, aigoo, it's okay.

Mom, I'm sorry.

for losing my job. But don't worry I'm submitting my resume in many places so I'll get another one soon..

Just wait a while, you'll see.

You don't need me to give you any spending money, do I?

Of course, not.

Did your brother call?

No.

The new house that you'll be working in, it's not too much work, is it?

Nah.

It's just a young lady living by herself.

-A professor. - Didn't you say that it was a really nice condo?

Yup.

But... how could a young lady professor live in a place like that?

She's the daughter of some university endowment director or something.

Oh, I see. I get the picture.

- You're here. - Oh, hi.

I thought you were out.

I'm on my way out, right now.

So, uh... this is my second time coming

Has there been anything that wasn't to your liking?

Since every household is a little different

Nope. Your reputation and experience precedes you. There was nothing that caught my eye.

That's a relief then.

Oh,.

Please throw out all the side dishes in the fridge.

And take the clothes on the bed to the dry cleaner.

Not the one in the books, but use the number on the records to get to the cleaners.

I'll do that.

for us: uncle, aunt, Young-Gook's, Yoo-Sun's... Wow, it's going to be around 15 people with the kids,

We have to include the kids, right?

Well, of course. They're all married cousins.

It's second cousin between the kids, and cousins between you guys.

- Don't you know? - Oh, yeah, second cousins.

Father-in-law, we may be second cousins, but we're close enough to be first cousins

Shouldn't we invite them?

Well, of course. It's not like you have any more children, and an engagement only happens once,

We went to Sung-Sik's engagement as well, dad.

But...the bride should be in charge of the engagement party,

why does a rich family like that care about the number of people attending?

It's not like that. The father(in-law) thought it best to have same number of attendees on both sides.

- Oh, I see. - Of course, a classy family like that

knows how to hold one in style.

Well, that goes without saying.

So,

What did you decide about the exchange of wedding gifts?

Did Seo-Young agree to follow your decision?

Yes. We'll have our engagement party at the hotel like she wanted. For the wedding gifts, we decided to just exchange wedding rings, with my financial ability in mind..

That Seo-Young is a wise one.

She's looking out for Young-Min.

You're a lucky one, you are, Young-Min. So, then,

Did you get the engagement rings?

We're going to get them today. Grandpa, should I let your brother know?.

Of course, you should.

Look, you'll be busy, so just let your grandfather know.

I'll call the family at Mok-dong (a regional district of Seoul) as well as Ji-Sook's.

Okay, auntie.

Finally, our Young-Min's going to be the Jung-Un U Director's son-in-law!

- Not yet. - Huh?

- But father-in-law, Young-Min... - They're getting engaged,

he's not their son-in-law yet.

Okay, okay, dad, you're so...

- Any word from Manager Han? - No.

I think he's on his way. We didn't hear from him, yet.

What would you like me to tell him? I'll pass the message along.

If the number didn't change, it's okay. Thank you.

Our address changed, though.

That's fine. Thank you.

He's going to be very curious if I just tell him some lady had called.

This is the States

Good day.

How is it that some woman in the U.S. is looking for Director Han?

That was from U.S.?

Yup. I told her to leave a message with me, but she said it was fine as long as the number didn't change.

- I guess that means she'll call again. - She said she's in U.S.?

Don't make me repeat myself.

What's her voice like?

Calm.

Good morning!

First I get a call from U.S., now I get greeted in english... The U.S. terror is upon me....

What're you talking about?

Oh SunBae (means Senior) took your call earlier, says it's from U.S.

It was a lady.

- Wouldn't tell me her name. - From U.S.?

It seemed like she's communicated with you before.

She said it was okay as long as your number didn't change.

Try to think who it might be.

You might be able to figure it out. You did study abroad there for a while..

Didn't say who she was?

No, she didn't. Even after I told her I'd relay the msg.

Hey, you don't think...?

You have an idea?

There was a girl that Man. Han dated when he was there.

- It was a long time ago, though. - I'm going to have to leave early today.

Did you want to buy that?

Umm... Yes, please.

Why do I have to spend big bucks to go skiing with you?

I'm going to borrow the ski suit again, but I had so much trouble fitting into the gloves and the socks last year. You know what? I think the "Jang's" just don't go well with me.

Look at me, because I made friends with the wrong person, I'm having to spend money on useless things when I'm unemployed. - Whether the "Jang's" are harmful to you or not

You'll be able to find out once I show you. And stop grumbling. When else are you going to go skiing at a time like this if not unemployed?

Don't worry, I'll make sure you have fun. Mi-Soo, do you want me to buy you some spicy rice-cake?

- Well, then, let's go up a notch: Spaghetti?

No, don't bother.

No. Not today, I'm not interested.

Oh, hello, Chief!

I'm still unemployed. I did hand out a lot of resumes,

but I guess they don't hire someone who worked at a company that went bankrupt.

- What's up, Chief? - How would you feel about doing a part-time job? The workload suddenly piled up.

and we need someone to clear the pile-up. There's something in the advertisements .that you can work:

You know what "A Sip of Coffee" section is, right? The interview section?

The deadline is approaching. Mind coming over?

I'm sorry.

Do you call that an apology?

Oh. I'm sorry. I really am. Excuse me.

That was quick.

Of course! I'm unemployed, I should do anything I can to get employed again.

Take a seat.

You've read the interview segments before, right?

There's been too much work lately,

we're going to have to resort to freelancer work.

This is it, right?

Yup. Can you do it?

I'm unemployed, remember?

The man is a young architect.

I see... When is the deadline?

What did you get? You dont go to the mall often

Hello?

Is this Mura Construction?

I'm calling regarding the interview article. May I speak to Manager Han Young-Min, please?

Hey! What's this?

Why did you buy men's underwear?

Wow..unbelievable.... Just how many are there?

Yes, about "The Scent of Coffee" magazine interview.

Okay. I will call back later.

Why are there men's underwear in those boxes?

- What is this? - What do you mean? You bought these!

No! These aren't mine!

I bought ski gloves and ski socks!

Why are there men's underwear in there? Why are these here?!

How should I know when you don't have a clue?,

Oh no! What do i do!?

Maybe you brought someone else's stuff?

Who did you go to the department store with? Did you go with a guy?.

- Oh! - You remember?

Yeah, I just remembered

Welcome!

These were purchased here, am I correct?

yea...

A lady should have purchased these.

Yes. You're correct

- May I have that person's contact info.? - May I have his contact info.?
