[Episode 5]

Is Patient Lee Dong-eun...

still not done with the colonoscopy test?

He didn't even do it. He discharged himself as soon as you left.

He said he didn't need anymore examinations.

He said he wanted to stay in the hospital for a while.

Thank you.

Please come to my office.

See you later.

How was the VVIP patient from yesterday?

His test results aren't out yet,

but he seems to be in a very healthy condition.

I guess he knew that since he just left saying he didn't need...

further examinations.

He was actually the second son...

of the owner of Sunghwa Hospital.

I know there were many guys out to marry you.

But he's far beyond all of the guys you've met so far.

I'm sure he's going to ask you out on a date soon.

I hope you meet him.

Yes, sir.

He must've fallen for my beauty.

You think I'm an easy girl to get?

Mom?

What?

Sweetie, he must've been so eager to meet you.

If he's the second son of Sunghwa Hospital,

you should meet him a couple of times.

All right. Good.

Don't skip dinner.

All right. Okay.

All right.

You were still here?

Shh!

Why, of course, Mother.

It's my duty to hold memorial services.

I'm the oldest son.

Don't worry about a thing, and come to my house next week.

Make sure Jung-tae and Jung-soon also come.

All right.

Mother, make sure you sleep warmly tonight.

Bye.

You're home?

Let's eat dinner now.

Let's eat dinner now?

Didn't I make myself perfectly clear earlier?

I said, I didn't want to see you by the time I came back home.

I thought about it,

and I had no reason to leave this house.

What... what... what did you say?

I paid my dues as the head of this family.

What are you talking about?

Must I repeat myself all over again?

This house was purchased by me, Hong Ae-ja...

Hang on a minute.

What in the world...?

What is he up to this time?

Here.

What's this?

My retirement pension bank book.

What?

Your retirement pension?

You didn't even work your full term.

I taught at a school for 15 years,

and received $60,000 in a retirement pension.

And with this money, I paid off the mortgage of this house.

$60,000?

You paid off my mortgage?

When we were buying this house,

you didn't have enough money, so you thought of getting a loan.

That's right.

I was going to open up my office with my pension money,

but instead, I gave you everything...

because you complained so much about paying the bank interest.

That's what I did as the head of the house.

Oh...really?

How come I don't remember anything about it?

You think it was all your doing?

I'm not moving out until you pay me $60,000.

That's strange.

I thought I paid off all the mortgage with my own money.

What Mom said was true.

Is that how people do blind dates these days?

It's to make things natural for people to meet.

If it's a real date, it'll be awkward if you don't like the other person.

If his dad owns a hospital,

he sounds half decent.

However, you must also think about his parents' personalities, too.

Think about your sister, Ji-sung.

Her husband is rich and went to a good school.

He was the best bachelor out there. But what's the use of all that...

when his nasty mother always gives your sister a hard time.

I'm not even going to meet a guy...

who is anything less than perfect.

But you have to love the other person...

to get married, right?

The most important part is love.

Oh, goodness.

You don't know anything, In-sung.

Dad.

Have breakfast.

You're just as bad!

Now that Ji-sung is married,

you should let her take charge of her own house.

You're making that rice porridge for her, aren't you?

Of course!

Ji-sung is so sick that she can't eat anything other than porridge,

but that evil mother-in-law of hers threw it all out.

Oh, gosh...

Mi-na, that little angel called me because...

she must've felt so bad for her mother.

She said, "Grandma, can you cook Mom some rice porridge?"

How can you call Ji-sung's mother-in-law evil?

Have some class, will you?

Especially in front of our girls.

Watch what you say.

You'll make a big blunder one of these days that way.

How can I talk nicely about that woman?

Think about what she's doing to our poor daughter.

Dad, you're sounding pretty macho.

And Mom, you're sounding pretty obedient.

That's strange.

What do you mean, strange?

Let's eat.

Gosh, it's toast this morning, huh?

I should get used to eating toast for breakfast.

I can't stand the sight of him!

How come I can't remember...

a thing about getting this money from him?

What's happened?

How come the record shows that the money...

was transferred to my bank account?

Oh, goodness...

Oh, Dad.

Did the lady from yesterday sign the lease for the vacant room?

No way.

If you do that one more time, I'll just...!

You're no help at all.

Did you scare her away again? What's wrong with you?

We'll have to make money with that vacant room.

I didn't do anything wrong!

I wish somebody would rent out that room, too!

Why, you brat!

You'd better not do that again!

Jung-geun, are you going to be working at the head office?

You were transferred to the head office?

Wow, good for you!

Whatever...

I'm going to get going now.

All right.

Good day, today!

Thanks. Good day to you, too.

See you later.

Okay. Bye.

Dad...

What?

I'm hoping to start studying psychology this semester.

But you'll be graduating after this semester.

You want to change your major and study more?

Yes. It's a trend for engineer majors...

to double major in humanities.

It's the "it" thing to do.

Quiet!

All of your friends are out of school and making money.

You already changed your major several times,

and now you want to study psychology?

If you let me study abroad like other kids' parents...

I wouldn't be so fickle about my major.

Study abroad, my foot!

There are so many good colleges in Korea.

Why would you go out of the country to study?

You're going to that good graduate school,

but you're not graduating!

I'm struggling so much to pay for your tuition!

Even if you object to it,

I'm still going to study what I want to study!

You can't even understand how I feel,

so what's the point of studying psychology?

Don't you dare even talk about this again!

All emotions connected to relationships...

start from communication between one person to another.

When the communication is smooth,

the relationship builds trust and love.

And in the opposite situation,

misunderstandings and mistrust will form.

Communication starts from conversations.

And this should not be one side pouring out...

his or her emotions or thoughts,

but listening and understanding the other person's emotions, too.

That is the basic manner of conversation.

You're not answering my phone call.

I'm going to your house right now to change your curtains.

Professor Ma, are you done with your lecture?

When are you going home?

What?

Your mother-in-law is going there? Why?

Why is she changing your curtains?

That's what I'm saying.

Remember we just changed the blinds with you last year?

I really like them.

Anyway, Mom, don't come today.

I'll stop by your house to get the porridge.

Oh, Mom.

I told her about Dad's 60th birthday party.

I got scolded for not inviting them.

Don't let her get to you, Sweetie.

It's not like she ever cared about our family.

She's just saying that. So, please don't worry.

Your stomach will hurt.

Good. Buy yourself something delicious for lunch.

All right. Okay. Bye.

She scolded Ji-sung for not inviting her to the party?

It's not like she was going to come even if I invited her!

It's not like we ever attended each other's parties.

I guess she was going to bring a fancy birthday gift, huh?

Oh, gosh.

I can't believe this!

I'm so upset!

Why is she giving such a hard time to my daughter?

Why isn't this closing? Gosh!

Where did it go?

Oh, darn it!

What's wrong with her this time?

Hello, Mother?

Oh, hi, son.

She didn't talk about the divorce again?

Oh, Mother.

Signing the divorce papers...

doesn't make us strangers.

She may be our daughters' mother,

but I'm their father!

Why, of course!

But I just can't trust her.

Are you sure she said she'd do the memorial service?

There's nothing to say about that. It's given.

She's done it all her life.

And we're still living together.

Good. But don't go easy on her.

Make sure you tell her...

that she has to prepare for the memorial service. Okay?

She can't make just a couple of vegetable dishes, either.

She needs to make at least five different dishes,

and set the proper memorial service table, okay?

Oh.

Don't you worry.

All right.

I'll make sure to tell her.

Okay.

How come she's not answering my text?

She must be in the middle of her lecture.

Lecture?

It's just a lousy lecture.

How would she not answer my call?

Woo-jae, come to my house with your wife within a few days.

I have something to say.

Let her say mean things to my face!

I'm going to see it with my own eyes.

Mind the flowers.

Oh, hello!

What are you doing here?

Well, I came because Ji-sung was out of her rice porridge.

I brought some more for her.

Oh, I see.

You must have a lot of time these days.

Why, of course not.

I'm designing outdoor products.

I'm in the final stages of that now.

We should focus on the communication of the public,

and try to understand the dynamics of...

Oh, I see.

Since you keep on coming by here so often,

I thought you retired from work.

Retired? Surely, I'm not old enough to retire...

Let's go inside.

Oh, how come it's not working?

My daughter told me that she changed the pin number...

because she's scared of thieves.

Why are you hiding the numbers from me?

Because pin numbers should be confidential.

If anyone can know the pin, then it wouldn't be confidential.

Am I just anyone?

What...what are you doing right now?

I brought all of that food.

Your son doesn't like anything that's old.

I know that.

But I only made them several days ago.

What? Several days already?

Then I'm sure he'll enjoy these foods that I made freshly this morning.

And my daughter doesn't eat any food...

that other people make for her.

I want you to take off all of these curtains.

They're such low quality curtains!

Ma'am, what are you doing right now?

Ji-sung loves those curtains.

Don't you think you should respect...

what the owner of this house wants?

Why, of course.

I couldn't agree with you more.

However, she needs to have good enough taste...

for me to respect her preferences.

It's so hard for a person to upgrade...

their class and quality of life... seeing your daughter.

You keep on mentioning class.

But what do you think about a mother-in-law...

barging into an empty house and opening up the refrigerator?

Do you think that mother-in-law has any class?

I'm sure she has her reasons for doing such a thing.

Such as, the daughter-in-law is incapable of cooking...

or keeping the house tidy.

If she was brought up well by her mother,

why would her mother-in-law interfere?

I'm not really appreciating what you're saying.

Are you saying that Ji-sung wasn't brought up properly by me?

Oh, goodness...

I know it's late,

but please wish your husband happy birthday for me.

So sorry that we couldn't make it to the party.

Oh, no. It was just a very small party.

Just a dinner out with the family.

You two must be on good terms these days.

You were so cold to him before...

What? I was never cold to him.

As I age more, I realize that he's all I've got.

I'm more and more in love with my husband as I age.

Of course.

I'm so in love with my husband, too.

Although Ji-sung is a very smart girl,

she must've not been brought up properly.

Although I do understand that it must've been...

because you were so busy working.

Since your son studied in the U.S. for years,

he must've not been taught properly by you.

He doesn't care about his wife's family at all.

To be perfectly honest,

I didn't tell him to come to the party on purpose...

since he never accepts my invitations anyway.

Well, my son is a very busy person.

He has a business to run.

And a son-in-law can't be the same as a daughter-in-law.

Since you don't have a son, you must not know.

But daughters-in-law still have bigger sacrifices to make.

That's why people are so hung up on having sons.

Oh, goodness. I have an appointment.

I should get going first.

I don't have a son?

I bet she had three daughters...

because she wanted to have a son.

She shuts up every time I bring up a son.

I never had a son?

Oh no, I'm dead again.

Hello, this is So Jung-geun speaking who has nothing to do.

The car repair center?

The car is fixed?

What? $1,750?

Hey, let me call you back.

The repair fee came out to $1,750.

So?

Just how much did you make him fix...

for it to cost $1,750?

I never asked you to damage my car.

It was just a slight hit.

How can your car break down with just a touch?

Don't you think it's unfair? Huh? Think about it!

I mean, I just barely hit the car.

No, no. I just touched it.

I just brushed by it.

But suddenly, the car started falling apart!

The door fell down! The bumper dropped!

Does this make any sense?

Manager!

Soo-hae!

Oh, gosh!

How come nobody is listening to me?

Fine.

This is as good as fraud!

You made a new car out of a crappy car that was already falling apart.

Oh, yeah?

You didn't know that?

If I report you to the police,

you'll get arrested for fraud!

This is a clear case of fraud!

Oh, that's right. Right...

You're regretting fixing all four doors, aren't you?

I forgot.

You must be regretting it. You have to be!

I need these for our meeting.

So go and make photocopies for our team.

Did you stop by Woo-jae's house earlier?

I don't think Woo-jae married the right girl.

Her family has absolutely no class.

This is why we shouldn't have married our son...

to a family that's not up to par with our family.

It was my mistake for letting him marry her...

just because she's a smart girl.

I had promised myself never to get connected...

to a diamond in the rough again, but I made the same mistake.

Although she's from a poor family,

she was brought up so well. So, don't say that.

But life keeps getting difficult as time goes by.

Like water and oil... even though she tries very hard

she can't match the cultural differences with my family.

Ma'am, bring me the chili pepper paste from the countryside.

I need something refreshing right now.

But Dad, you already ate dinner.

Woo-jae, how long have you been there?

I was here all along.

You silly brat.

Why do you keep on coming home instead of your own house?

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Those are my days to vacuum the house.

And also do the dishes.

What's wrong with your wife?

I even send her the maid to help her.

I should send the maid on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Then, she'll split the labor with whatever days the maid won't come.

She's really scary, Mom.

Thank you.

I can only digest well when I mix rice with my mom's chili pepper paste.

Maybe it's because I'm a diamond in the rough.

You think that's something to brag about?

My mom tried so hard to change your eating habits.

Looking at you reminds me of the term, "Ahgasachang."

Ah- what?

Ahgasachang?

What does that mean?

Hang on, Mom.

Ahgasachang.

"A dog with poo-poo is laughing at a dog with a leaf on his face."

Oh, that's what it means.

A dog with poo-poo... A dog with a leaf...

Wait...

Why do I remind him of such a thing?

He must mean that you're the dog with poo-poo.

Ma'am!

Since you don't have a son, you must not know.

But daughters-in-law still have bigger sacrifices to make.

That's why people are so hung up on having sons.

What?

I never raised a son?

How dare she say that to me.

How would she know whether I had a son or not?

How?

A princess... A complete princess...

She's an old princess who thinks she's such a big shot.

I never raised a son?

Of course, I did.

Why, of course, I did...

[Preview]

You heard me, right?

Make us rice for breakfast from tomorrow.

What have you done for me?

You don't think the fact that you're JW Group's daughter-in-law ...

made a difference?

No, no, no.

This has no class to it.

Ahh, dad!

I was lecturing.

You ignored my call because of your lousy lecture?

Quit right away.

Do everything over. Do you think you're here to kill some time?

Why are you doing this to me!
