I borrowed the rest of the money besides Yoon-Hee's deposit.

How did you come up with this much money?

It fell from the sky.

There really is something called a money shower.

Heaven must've decided to help me because I've lived such a saintly life.

A money shower?

Did you win the lottery or something?

Lottery? I guess you can say that.

It has three rooms, and comes with a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a washer.

Oh, and it even comes with a bidet.

And it's got a great view, with all four corners open.

Is the apartment in the middle of a rice paddy?

How did you know?

The place isn't developed yet, but the air is great.

As soon as they start building more apartments, we'll hit the jackpot!

Everything's great, except we have one inconvenience.

What is it?

There's no transportation.

We'll need to walk fast for 30 minutes to get to the nearest car.

What?

How am I going to go to school?

Where did you get the money to buy it?

Don't even think about making things up. Just tell me the truth.

Huh?

The First Lady gave it to me.

Who?

The First Lady.

I tried not to take it, but she insisted that it was from the President.

I had no choice.

What can I do? She's the First Lady.

Why? Did I do something wrong?

We're giving it back to her tomorrow.

Give me everything she gave you, down to the last cent.

Yoon-Hee.

Can't you just let this slide for the sake of our family?

We can't be wandering forever, right?

I said, give me the money!

Give it to me. Right now!

I paid Mr. Nam back.

I made the deposit for the apartment.

I even bought gifts for our family.

It's not like we asked her for the money. She's the one who offered it first.

What's wrong with that?

I heard you even saved the President's son's life!

Who do you think you are, anyways?

How can you take that money? How?

Are you happy because you bought a house by bartering me off?

Stop pretending to be my mom!

You don't care about me. You just want to fill your own stomach!

You're not even human!

Even a dog wouldn't do that to her own puppy!

It's not like she stole it! She just took what they gave to her.

Why are you treating her like a criminal?

Are you treating her like a beast because she hurt your pride?

Who do you think you are, huh?

Stop it!

You girls never stop fighting, do you?

And Soo-Kyung, I told you not to talk to your sister that way.

If I catch you doing that to your sister again, you'll be in big trouble.

Are you stupid?

Your daughter just called you a beast! Why are you just sitting there?

You're right. I was being selfish.

When the First Lady gave the money...

I thought the four of us can finally live together in one house...

... and that I can finally start my life over with you. So I just took it.

After I got the money, I wanted to buy you something.

It was my first time buying you clothes.

My hands were shaking, my heart was pounding fast...

... and my legs were wobbling.

I can't even remember how many times I walked around the mall.

I don't know which color your like, or what clothes you like, or even your size.

I couldn't even take a guess because I've never hugged you in my life.

You're right.

What right do I have to be your mom?

I'm sorry.

I was being selfish.

But you know what, Yoon-Hee?

No matter how much you tell me to leave, I'm not leaving you.

I'm going to stay right by your side, and find out what your favorite color is.

I'm going to watch you go on dates and get married.

When you have kids, I'm going to baby-sit for you.

I'm not going to miss anything anymore.

I will.

I'll make sure I will.

I'm sorry, Father.

Look at your clothes!

Did you send her off dressed like this?

I heard you submitted a request for temporary leave.

I'm sorry.

No, you did well.

Take a break.

Don't try too hard.

I've learned that when hardships come your way...

... you need to hit rock bottom in order to have the courage to get up again.

This too shall pass, right?

How was their Japanese food workshop?

Since our guests have high esteem in their own culture...

... I spent the last 3 hours listening to how superior Japanese food is.

What did they talk about?

We learned about natto.

They were very proud that natto was selected by Health magazine of America...

... as one of world's 5 healthiest foods.

They said Japan is the ultimate state of soy.

What?

There's more.

They said Korean tofu is being sold in America, thanks to Japanese tofu.

And the same goes for kimchi as well.

I thought they were here for a Korea-Japan culture exchange.

Why do they tick us off every time they come over?

This isn't culture exchange. It's culture ostracism!

Wasn't Kimchi also selected by Health magazine...

... as one of world's 5 healthiest foods?

Very good! Miss Kang is so smart, isn't she?

Why don't we plan our recipe centered on kimchi for the banquet?

No, I'll go with soy.

Soy?

You want to make a frontal breakthrough, right?

It's not like that.

I just want them to know that we have a soy dish that's just as good as natto.

They're looking down on our tofu, claiming to be the ultimate state.

I want them to realize that food has no boundaries.

After all, is soy only from Japan?

You're right.

They're such weird people. They say everything belongs to them.

First, they try to steal our kimchi. Then they try to steal our land.

Now they want soy?

Let's put our energy and hearts together to show them the rich taste of Korean soy.

I think he needs to be more careful from now on.

Now that Ji-Soo's gone...

... the reporters might get even more wrong ideas about those two.

Please tell Bong-Soon to be more careful from now on, too.

I don't feel comfortable saying this...

... but if Bong-Soon and Joon-Won sees each other again like last time, report it to me.

You know what I mean, right?

This tastes so weird!

It's so sticky, I can't swallow it.

I heard some Japanese people can't live without 'tem. Is that true?

Yup. Why else would it be Japan's favorite food?

Stop talking to me. Can't you see I'm sampling right now?

Know thy enemy.

How did it go?

I think we should make cheonggukjang.

This is a lot like our cheonggukjang.

''An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'' Let's take 'em on.

Take 'em on?

They're our guest!

This isn't any better than our stuff!

How come this is selected as one of top 5 foods in the world...

... but no one even knows what cheonggukjang is?

Let's take this opportunity to teach them, please?

They can't eat cheonggukjang!

Do you want to be embarrassed by our guests?

Since they're very picky about their food...

... we can serve a fusion dish by mixing our food with Italian or French cuisine.

For example, we can make foie gras with doenjang(Korean soybean paste).

I tried it once before, and it tasted great.

Fusion, eh?

Foie gras with doenjang sauce...

Fusion... That's all she talks about.

No, let's go traditional.

They're here for a culture exchange.

They should eat Korean food while they're here. Why French?

I think it's rude to invite and feed guests with food they can't even eat.

Besides, if we want our food to be recognized internationally like Japan...

... we need to change them to fit the international taste.

Do you mean that this natto thingy was recognized internationally...

... because it fits the international taste?

This one made it just the way it is.

What's wrong with cheonggukjang?

It's just that people don't know about it yet.

I got it. I got it.

Now let me speak.

You both have a good point.

You know what I think?

Cheonggukjang is a no-no!

Like Miss Kang said, we should go with doenjang.

Why not?

They even eat this.

Don't compare cheonggukjang and natto!

They only eat this stuff because it's theirs!

Try it! You can't stand this stuff either!

I'll think it over if you can finish this.

Un-Joo.

Put this patch on for me.

On the right side.

Hey!

You...

How to get younger men?

If you want him to feel cozy, hug him from the back.

If you hug him from the back, that's assault!

Don't ever do that, okay?

You might get sued.

Give me that! It's mine.

Ok-hee.

Do you think he's the eldest son?

It says eldest sons are attracted to older women they can lean on.

Now you want to get him by maternal love?

Why don't you just be his mother?

Ok-hee!

By the way, it says men are attracted to...

... women who use the same make-up as their mother.

I wonder if there's any way I can visit his house.

Cut it out, will you?

First, an assault, second, housebreaking.

Do you want to spend your last days in jail or something?

Why don't you just go hiking with me?

Get yourself some fresh air, so you can snap out of it.

No way!

I don't want to slip, fall, and end up putting patches on like you do.

Besides, I can't go hiking with this weight!

You can't afford not to go hiking with that weight.

Quit yapping. You better join me this Sunday, got that?

Your ramen's getting cold!

I can't eat comfortably if you're not eating!

Fine then.

I'm not eating either.

What I mean is... I won't drink the soup.

I'm dying to mix this with rice, but I won't because you're not eating.

I told you my ramen is so good, you can't help but cry.

- What are you doing? - Huh?

Good morning, Mr. Nam.

Whatever.

What are you up to now?

Are you about to die soon?

No, but I can die trying.

Oh yeah! You're not taking my money, got that?

You've paid me back once, and that's it!

Of course, I know that.

I paid you back yesterday. I can't ask for it again today.

I'm a woman of conscience and standards.

Why don't you just sit down for a minute?

Sit over here, Mr. Nam.

I have to make breakfast. Make it snappy.

Don't worry. I already made breakfast.

What?

I know I told you yesterday that we're moving out...

... but can we just continue living here for a while?

Can we rent Yoon-Hee's room on a month-to-month contract?

What?

Month-to-month?

Why are you guys fighting again?

I'm glad you're here, Director.

I wanted to discuss something with you. Please have a seat.

Discuss something?

Discuss what?

How much do you pay for your rent?

What?

Why?

Well, this room's too small.

I'd like to switch rooms if the price is right.

I have 3 girls the size of an ox.

They're too old to be sleeping on the floor.

Not only your room is big, it's an annex...

... so we won't have to argue over petty issues.

How about it?

The guys live on this side, and the girls on that side.

What do you think?

What is it?

Thanks for letting us rent the room without a security deposit.

Don't worry about me.

Just thank Director Lee.

Okay.

Even though she has bad judgment, she's not a bad person.

Don't shut yourself off.

Open up to her.

What else can you do? She's your mom, after all.

You can fight and growl because she's still by your side.

Some people can't even afford to do that.

Is that Mrs. Nam's memorial, then?

It's Bong-Gi's birthday.

What? His birthday?

Then why...

I've never made him a birthday dinner ever since his mom passed away.

They say time heals everything, but I guess not for him.

What happened, anyways?

Good job, everyone.

You all did well.

Why don't we try this?

Let's put all your recipes together, instead of going with just one person.

For appetizers, we'll make corn jelly like Miss Bong-Soon suggested, along with...

... Miss Min-Ah's doenjang foie gras and Miss So-Hee's soybean noodles.

Our main course will be Miss Min-Ah's roasted beef with doenjang...

... Bong-Soon's cheonggukjang mushroom roast, and Miss So-Hee's tofu mix.

The cuisine will be five-grain rice and kimchi-cheonggukjang stew.

Chief, anything but cheonggukjang.

It stinks, and Japanese people think our natural fermenting process is unsanitary.

If we serve them cheonggukjang...

... they might get the wrong idea that we're looking down on them.

I agree.

They're really picky with their food. Even the best dish might not satisfy them.

Aren't we being reckless if we serve them something we know they can't eat?

You never know until you try.

Why do you think it won't work before you even try?

They're giving a natto workshop in Korea...

... but we can't' even serve our own food at our own house?

Daddy.

Did Mommy go to America?

No, right?

Mommy went to America to get better.

Mommy!

Mommy!

Why did you let her go, why?

You promised you won't let her go!

We did a pinky swear with a seal and copied it!

You're so mean!

You're a liar!

Mommy!

Give it to me.

I'll take it.

I hope someone else can bring the tray next time.

I guess you just found out.

As you can see, Joon-Won is a mess right now.

Please don't add to his problems.

Mrs. Chang.

This is the money you gave.

I'm a lot short.

I didn't give it to her.

It's from the President.

Just take it.

There's no way I can do that.

I know it'll take time, but I'll pay you back the rest.

When did she leave?

Yesterday.

Watch out where and when you cry.

Even your tears are going to be reported, you peabrain.

I'm in a position to report you, you blockhead.

Now you're using a grindstone?

What? Corn jelly?

And now you want to ferment cheonggukjang in here?

Do you think this is your hometown kitchen?

Hey! Hey!

I'm your senior! How dare you diss me!

Why are you just standing there? Wipe it off!

If you're my senior, then act like one!

I know you hate me, but we have no choice but to work together on this one.

If you cross me again like you did last time, we're going down together.

I'm sure you won't pull anything dirty this time.

What? Dirty?

How dare you frame me!

If you talk nonsense like that again, I won't put up with it!

I can't believe you're drinking without appetizers.

I heard your request for leave didn't get approved.

You need to go to work tomorrow.

It's not like you're on night watch.

You don't have to do this every night.

Are you going to yell at me?

I heard Angelina Jolie wants to adopt again.

Do you think Zahara and Maddox like their mom more, or their dad more?

Who are they?

You don't even know who they are?

They're Angelina Jolie's kids!

Oh, you mean the actress who married Tom Cruise adopted...

No, no! Tom Cruise married Katie Holmes.

Angelina Jolie married Brad Pitt.

Oh my gosh.

Watch the world news some time, will you?

How can Korea go global when we have people like you?

Guess what? Brad Pitt is 43 years old.

That means he's 12 years older than you.

You know what?

But he looks much younger than you. Why? Why?

You've totally decayed during the last few days.

I'm sure you can even be Brad's uncle now.

Hi, Uncle Chang! I'm Brad.

Go back to where you belong, where your favorite patients are waiting for you.

I heard the patients ask everyday about when you're coming back.

That's your only way out, isn't it?

Get up.

I hoped it wouldn't come down to this, but I can't take it anymore.

I said, get up!

Something's wrong, right?

I go crazy 3 times a year.

On my mom's memorial day, her birthday, and my birthday.

I ran into a group of robbers when I was in high school.

I got off the bus stop after school...

... and found my mom waiting for me with an umbrella.

It was exam week, and I was tired.

I was irritated to see my mom outside when it's cold outside...

... so I just walked away without taking the umbrella.

But my mom didn't come after me.

So I went back again even more irritated...

... and found my mom cornered by robbers in an alley.

I was scared.

I was scared of them, and their knives.

I knew I had to go and help my mom, but I couldn't move.

My mom yelled and told me to run.

When I finally came to my senses, I found myself running.

Running to save myself while she was lying in the rain...

My mom wouldn't stop spilling out blood.

The rain wouldn't stop washing that blood away.

I couldn't do anything, even when the cops were taking my mom away.

I only saw the umbrellas.

Her old raggedy umbrella... and my damn umbrella...

It's not your fault.

It was an accident you couldn't do anything about.

I know it's hard, but you should let it go.

You should let it go too, Dr. Chang.

I ran, but you did your best till the end.

I'm sure your wife knows that too.

That's why she left.

Hey Mr. Dog, we moved just about everything.

Why don't we hit it off with a movie?

We're not hitting anything off, you twerp.

You can hit your own head for not solving a single matrix equation.

You better get your matrix down tonight, got that?

What's this?

Why did he tear July's calendar out already?

Do you like her that much?

Huh?

What do you like about her?

Everything.

Everything?

Well, she's only a little taller and a little prettier than me.

And... her breasts are a little bigger than mine.

That's all.

Is there anything you feel like doing today?

Why?

Well... anything you want to eat, then?

What's wrong with you today?

Table tennis, soccer, baseball, skating, or swimming.

Pick anything you'd like.

Okay then.

You better keep your word, hillbilly. You promised, right?

Okay.

Where?

The swimming pool.

You're going. You said you're going, right?

The swimming pool?

No, more to the left.

- Higher! - Here...

No, a little higher!

Why did you do that for? I almost dislocated my arm!

You should've asked the Director if you can't reach.

Why did you insist on doing it in the first place?

I was running out of so much breath while watching you...

I thought I was going to die!

Just give it to me. I'll do it!

Hey mister!

What are you doing?

Don't wipe your athlete's foot germs over there!

I don't want to live with athlete's foot germs in this room!

I didn't wipe anything!

I only took someone off my foot.

Just order me my jajangmyeon. You said you'll treat us with jajangmyeon.

I want the sauce served separately. I'm sure they'll give us free dumplings, right?

By the way, order from The Great Wall instead of Hong Kong Restaurant.

They taste better, and they give you larger portions.

I'm sick to my stomach right now. Why do we have to eat jajangmyeon for?

Let's just cook something up here.

What?

You said you'll treat us.

I knew you'd do this to us!

I have no one but myself to blame for trusting you and working my butt off!

How come I never hear a word of truth out of your mouth?

Jajangmyeon, my butt!

Where can I find a sewing machine?

I better stitch that mouth of yours!

What?

A sewing machine?

Are you trying to stitch my mouth up over a stinking jajangmyeon?

Fine then. Try stitching it! Go ahead!

I need to find a sewing machine first.

Bong-Gi!

Forget it. I'll buy, then!

I want seafood hodgepodge!

Yoon-Hee! Soo-Kyung! Soo-Jung!

The Director is treating us to Chinese food!

What? You want sweet-and-sour beef?

Did you say seafood mix, Soo-Jung? Okay, got it.

Wait for me, Bong-Soon!

I'm coming for you!

"Ya liubliu tiebya"!

"Te quiero"!

"Wo ai ni"!

"Je t'aime"!

(Happy Birthday)

I'll go and get her medicine.

Chang Joon-Won!

How have you been?

I'm sorry.

I still have your request form in my hands.

Sir...

Don't you know we're short on thoracic doctors?

I don't think I'm qualified for the job. Please process my request for me.

I'll give you 3 more days.

Just shake it off and come back to work. Got it?

Hyo-Won!

Hyo-Won!

Hyo-Won?

Where?

The hospital?

Are you shopping for your girlfriend?

Huh?

Yes.

These styles are in these days. What do you think?

To stand out, she needs to put something like this one on.

No way!

So other guys can stare at her?

She doesn't need this to stand out. She even won a beauty contest.

I want something that'll cover her up completely, so no one can see anything.

Girlfriend?

(Hillbilly)

Speak of the devil.

What's up, hillbilly?

Uh, I think I'll be a little late.

Why? You're not home right now?

I'm on my way to the hospital because Hyo-Won was looking for me.

The hospital?

Why?

I don't know. I won't know until I get there.

I'll be right there after I go see Hyo-Won. Go on without me. Bye.

Hyo-Won!

Mr. Chang...

Come to the lobby.

I'll be there with Hyo-Won.

Hyo-Won.

What do you think you're doing?

You should tell me first before you go anywhere.

You know you're not supposed to do that, right?

I told you not to call him!

Why did you call Daddy? Why?

Chang Hyo-Won! Enough!

Do you want to get yourself in trouble or something?

Mommy! Mommy!

Don't yell at her.

She's just a little kid.

I miss Mommy.

Send me to Mommy.

Send me to America, please?

Wait for me in the car. I'll be right there.

Pine tree, chestnut tree, beech tree, oak tree, sessile oak tree, ash tree...

... grapevines, apple tree, persimmon tree...

She's asleep. You can take her with you.

Thanks.

Bye.

coming...

Not coming...

Coming...

Not coming...

Coming...

Not coming...

Coming...

Bong-Gi!

You're still here?

How come you didn't answer my calls?

You're such a fathead.

Are you stupid?

Are you a blockhead?

You should've waited someplace else when it's raining.

Why are you just standing here, you peabrain.
