How come you didn't tell that Hillbilly that you're married?

Of course I did....

Did I?

I'm sure she knows I'm married. She doesn't know that I'm married?

If she did, why would she like you in her right mind?

She says she's crazy in love with you.

Tell her before she falls even more for you.

Mr. Chang!

Mr. Chang!

- Daddy, I'm done! - Oh my little girl.

Did you have fun?

Wow, you really are done.

Drink it.

Hey kiddo!

Say hi, Bong-Soon.

This is my daughter.

Her name is Chang Hyo-Won, and she's five years old.

She's the one with the duck.

I met her before.

You've met her?

Uh... you see...

Hey kiddo!

Daddy, why is she crying?

I thought it was pretty obvious that I'm married.

Anyways, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for this to happen.

You're like a cute little sister to me.

You know, I ran into you while I was traveling.

We overcame our age gap.

I never thought about us as guys and girls.

You're like a travel companion to me.

You're an easygoing, cheerful, and warm friend.

I've never thought of you as a woman.

I have to go now.

Goodbye.

I said, just take the taxi! Listen to me!

How do you feel?

You think it serves me right, huh?

How can you make a fool out of me like this?

How can you crush my heart like this?

How come you didn't tell me? You knew what was going on!

You should've told me!

If you did, I wouldn't make a fool out of myself in front of Mr. Chang!

Look at me!

Look what I've done to myself!

I've just found that out too!

And it's not like I didn't tell you! I already warned you about liking him!

You're the one who didn't listen to me!

Are you trying to take your anger out on me?

It's not like you had a crush on Dr. Chang with my permission!

You can't even walk straight.

Listen to me!

Take the cab! I'll pay for it!

Hey Bong-Soon!

Why that little...

Hey!

Why'd you buy shoes that don't even look good on you?

You think you can be a city slicker by wearing high heels?

What's with your clothes? You actually paid for that?

You shouldn't get your hopes up.

Are you stupid?

How can you confuse kindness and attraction?

Dr. Chang was just being kind to you!

He pities you! You doofus!

How high is this thing?

How don't you just ride a pogo stick?

Do you think you can be as tall As Dr. Chang with this on?

What a dimwit!

Why are you skinning your heels with this on?

She likes who? Me?

She says she's crazy in love with you.

Tell her before she falls even more for you.

Daddy! Daddy!

Yes?

Bong-Gi, go inside.

She's been doing that for an hour.

She'll get sick from exhaustion.

Just leave her alone. She'll stop crying if she's tired.

That's not something to cry over!

That rotten scoundrel!

Director Lee, lead the way!

Where does that rascal live?

I'm gonna kill that villain today with my own hands!

That jerk! How dare he pretend to be single?

I outta kill him!

Lead the way! How come you're not leading the way!

Where do you think you're going? And watch what you're saying!

- I don't like it. - What?

Whose side are you on?

Are you defending that blasted scoundrel?

Who are you calling a blasted scoundrel? How dare you say that about him!

I told you to watch your words!

What? Did you just throw your temper at me?

What did you just say? How dare I say that about him?

What about him?

What's so great about that petty doctor?

How dare he try to sucker Miss... I mean, Bong-Soon?

He doesn't know the meaning of fear!

Do you know what he got himself into?

Come on, Father! You don't even know what's going on!

Why don't you just worry about yourself?

It's not because the White Roe, I mean, Dr. Chang pretended to be single.

That stupid hillbilly just thought he was and liked him!

- Don't you get it? - What?

A stupid hillbilly?

You better watch your mouth!

What do you mean, I don't know?

I'm going crazy because I know too much!

It takes two hands to make a clapping sound! One doesn't do anything!

You saw everything too!

You saw how that rotten jerk was nice to Miss... I mean, Bong-Soon...

How come you're not leading the way?

I thought he was your friend You don't know where he lives?

Then let's go to the hospital! Which hospital is it?

Tell me!

Hurry up!

Just go to sleep.

I want to sleep. Please go to sleep, Bong-Soon.

Please let me sleep.

- Come on, please. - But I don't want to!

Ok-Hee! My least favorite place in the world is the swimming pool!

Ask me where hell is. I'll answer, 'swimming pool'.

Not all swimming pools are like that.

Just follow me.

If you don't lose these pounds, you'll stay single forever, got that?

You'll go straight from an old maid to an old folk.

Do you think you're a Buddhist monk or something? You want to be a relic?

Do you think you're a stupa? Fine, I'll lose eight!

But I hate swimming! I hate it!

Is this what you call hell?

Look at him!

Do you still hate swimming pools?

Oh my gosh, Look at those bods!

He looks like a sculpture!

Check out his chest! It's so firm!

Oh my gosh, look at his calves!

They're so solid! That's the real stuff!

Ok-Hee, where am I?

I'm seeing stars!

I'm in utopia, Ok-Hee. A paradise.

I'm in heaven, right?

I don't know about that, but I know this is the baddest swimming pool in Korea!

I've been working at the BH forever. How come I didn't know about this?

What a pity! What a pity!

Behind you!

Look behind you! Look!

I hit the jackpot! I hit the jackpot!

He's not human! He can't be!

You dropped your towel.

What are you doing? Take it!

Un-Joo!

Un-Joo, should we just pretend we're crazy and hug them?

I'm sure they won't kill old people like us!

- I don't care if I die. - I'm already dead.

I'm already dead, Ok-Hee.

My heart just stopped because... because of him!

What did you want to talk to me about?

I haven't decided yet, but I think I should tell you ahead of time.

Go ahead.

Well... I might quit working here.

Why? What are you talking about?

My daughter's been pestering me.

It's tough for her to be alone because she just gave birth to twins.

She even has postpartum depression.

I gave her a flat 'no,' but it's been bugging me

It's not like I'm living somewhere nearby.

No way!

Even the Presidential Residence Chef has requested me...

... to send you to his cafeteria whenever necessary!

- You can send someone else. - Anyways, no!

That's a definite no! I'll just pretend I didn't hear that.

I need to go now.

No! That's a definite no!

Oh, Mr. Pervert?

Are you quitting? You heard us?

No, I'm still thinking about it.

I gave her a firm no because I got disgusted after seeing what she was up to.

But then again, I feel bad for feeding other people's kids at work...

... but never packed lunch for my own kid.

And I'm a bit suffocated after working here for eight or nine years.

You know how life here is.

I always have to pretend I heard nothing and know nothing.

I spent three years as a deaf, three years as a mute, and three years as a blind.

Being surrounded by smart people only made me realize how stupid I am.

Didn't you work here for thirty years?

Or maybe more than that.

You're so awesome.

How did you put up with this for so long?

How many presidents have you served so far?

Bong-Soon, you're like a cute little sister to me.

I ran into you while I was traveling. We overcame our age gap.

I never thought about us as guys and girls. You're like a travel companion to me.

You're an easygoing, cheerful, and warm friend.

I've never thought of you as a woman.

Miss Bong-Soon.

Miss Bong-Soon!

- What? - What are you so preoccupied about?

The Presidential residence chef wants to see you at his cafeteria after work.

Me?

To the Presidential residence?

Hello!

This place is pretty empty on Saturdays.

- Is everyone off work? - Welcome.

They've been busy the entire week, so I told them to go home.

Does Hyo-Won need anything?

No. The First Lady is with Miss Hyo-Won right now.

I have nothing to do, and nowhere to go.

I came here to say hi.

I may be a nuisance, but I will be grateful if you'll accept me.

Don't you enjoy working at the field more?

Yes I'm itching for some action.

- Where's guard Kang Moon-Shik? - He went to pick someone up.

Chef Gang, Miss Yeo Bong-Soon is here.

Hey hill...

What are you doing here, Bong-Soon?

I heard you wanted to see me.

Yes, I want to learn how to make buckwheat noodles from you.

The President wants to have some.

Huh? Then... is this for the Pres... President?

Can you make them like you did last time?

This is your grandmother's soybean paste.

What? The Chef wants to learn how to cook from Bong-Soon?

Is that hillbilly really that good?

Shall we take our princess to the bed?

I think we should.

Maybe Hyo-Won's grown up, or maybe I'm old now. She's pretty heavy.

I'll do it.

Go ahead.

Don't wake her up.

I'm here.

Hi.

Is she asleep?

Yes.

- I'll carry her. - No, I'll do it.

Enjoy your conversation.

Okay.

Sit down.

Why did you want to see me?

Umm... Let's talk.

Talk?

How's Ji-Soo?

Fine.

She's the same.

But she didn't get worse.

What?

- Why? - Yeo... Bong... -Soon

Yeo... Bong... -Soon

- What about her? - She's here!

She's here!

What are you doing?

Huh? Nothing.

She's tired How come you're not taking her to her bed?

Okay.

What's the secret?

What secret?

It's only food you eat. They're all the same.

You don't make food with secrets.

You make'em with your heart.

You make the best food if you pour your heart into it.

Do you grind your buckwheat every time you cook?

Yes.

Buckwheat tastes the best when after they just got grinded.

When I used to live with my grandma, grinding buckwheat was my job.

I always looked for a way out because I hated grinding.

I wonder how that grinding stone's doing.

How did you come up with the idea of serving potato soup for the President?

Huh?

Well, I was just happy to hear that he likes Kangwon food.

Excuse me, Chef.

Can I serve my buckwheat noodles to the President with my own hands?

You made it.

Of course you should serve and have him evaluate you in person.

Yeah?

I know what you want to tell me.

- But I... - Forget it.

Your mom's watching us, so let's pretend we're being serious.

Put on a straight face or something.

Father, why don't we play a game of table tennis after dinner?

Sure! Wanna bet?

- $50 for best out of three! - $70 for best out of five!

- What was that? - Asking to be fed.

Does that mean the President is at the cafeteria?

Yes! We need to hurry.

Mr. Bong-Gi. You didn't go home yet?

Forget going home Get out of here!

Get out? But I'm having dinner with my father.

No! You need to leave immediately!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry up and get out!

Why are you asking me to get out? I need to know why before...

What are you doing?

- Where's the President? - Huh?

He'll be here soon! Why?

He's not here yet.

But I heard the bell. Who rang it?

I rang it because the President said he was really hungry.

I did it. Why?

I'll do it I'll set the table. You can go back to the kitchen and work.

It's okay.

This food's for the President I'll serve it myself! Move!

But I...

I feel so happy.

You know, I'm feeling so happy, I'm volunteering to help you.

Leave it to me. Go back to the kitchen.

No! I said, I'll serve it myself! Move!

Come on, just go! Please?

Bong-Gi!

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

I'll pick them up myself. Get up, Bong-Soon!

Forget it.

Bong-Gi! What are you doing?

Bong-Gi! What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

When did she stop crying last night?

2:49 AM.

She's making progress. Didn't she Stop at 4AM the night before that?

4:11 AM.

Take her outside.

Go to the theaters or someplace loud and busy so she'll be really tired.

How about a theme park? That sounds nice.

You know, with those things spinning like this!

Take her yourself.

I'm sleeping the whole day even if you threaten to beat me to death.

By the way, why's she so quiet?

That freaks me out even more.

Did you guys have a good night's rest?

- Yes. - Of course.

Tell me if you have any laundry to do.

Do you?

You don't need to do the laundry.

I'll do it. Give it to me.

I have a lot of laundry in my room.

Shall we wash the blankets too?

Oh, can you wash my blankets too?

I have a lot of laundry, too.

Go in and pick whatever you'd like.

Why does a frog leap?

He wants to go further.

Why am I smiling...

She stopped singing What does that mean?

That jerk!

He better not show his face in front of me!

Excuse me.

Are you doing the laundry?

What brings you here again?

I promised to help Bong-Soon study.

Help what?

Why are you here?

How dare you come back here, you rotten scoundrel!

Do your parents know what you're up to?

How dare you try to sucker her!

Aren't you afraid of what'll happen?

Sir, please don't!

Get out!

- Don't hit him! - Outta my way!

- It's okay. - Move!

It's okay.

I think there's been some misunderstanding...

What? Misunderstanding?

You don't get it, do you?

Stop it, mister.

Stop it.

Get him some fruit.

Let's go inside.

Shall we study, then?

Let's start with English.

Open your book.

On the first page...

Tutor? Yeah right!

Shouldn't she find a better teacher?

That's right, she should be picky about who she learns from.

Do you want me to take the fruits in, Father?

No, I need to keep an eye on that rotten scoundrel.

I don't think we can study here.

Let's go to my place.

I think that'll be better.

I don't want to leave my Ma'am alone in the house.

And I'd like you to meet her, too.

Get your books. Let's go to my house.

I'm home.

Come inside.

It's okay. Come in.

Hi.

Who's this pretty girl?

She's pretty, huh?

Her name is Yeo Bong-Soon.

I want her to be my little sister from now on.

Where's Ji-Soo?

Let's say hi.

Ji-Soo.

- Ji-Soo! - Don't wake her up!

You know how hard it is to make her go to sleep.

You're sleeping.

Let's wait until she wakes up.

I better take her to the room.

Start reading before I get back.

Let's study now!

Shall we sit at the dining table?

I did pretty well in school, too.

Doesn't that chick know she doesn't have to look far for a good teacher?

But why did he have to take her to his house?

... is 1, 2, 3, or 4.

And B is 1, 3, 5, and 7.

Then what's A minus B?

It would be 2 and 4.

Next question.

If A is 1, 2, 3 and 6. And B is 1, 2, 4 and 8.

Where does A and B intersect?

Look.

What's wrong?

How come you're not studying, kiddo?

I never said I want to be your sister.

What?

You don't have to be cruel and show me for yourself.

I know how you feel.

You don't have to call me 'kiddo' every time because I now know that you don't...

... and can't look at me as a woman.

I can feel it every day and every moment.

It's my fault I had a crush on you, but it's not something I should be sorry for!

But why do you keep on making me feel bad?

Why do you keep on making me feel miserable?

Bong-Soon.

I don't think I can say hi to your wife yet.

I can't stand being sorry and miserable in front of her.

Bong-Soon.

How come she's not home yet?

Look at the time!

It's not like they're the only ones studying in this country.

It's been forever since she left.

Hello?

Oh hi, Dr. Chang.

No, she's not home yet.

Why are you asking me where that hillbilly is?

Isn't she with you right now?

What? She left when?

Oh, I see.

Where can that hillbilly be at this hour?

The bus will stop operating soon.
