[Episode 7]

Dad, is something bothering you?

Huh?

No, it's nothing.

But why do you look so weak?

Should we go out and have chicken stew this weekend?

Should I make a reservation right now?

Yeah, do it.

Stop what you're doing right this instant!

Why would we waste money like that?

Eat out for lousy chicken stew?

All I have to do is buy a chicken, dump in some chestnuts and jujubes,

then add a few garlic cloves.

Boil that for a couple of hours, and there's your chicken stew.

If you're so preoccupied with spending money,

when will you ever save any of it?

Oh, gosh...

I'm the one who's spending money like water.

Before they would refund the products with just one call.

But these days it's so difficult to get a refund.

I have so many products that I couldn't return.

Dad.

Huh?

Dad, what's in there?

Huh? It's nothing.

Isn't that red ginseng?

Oh, right.

Jung-geun got this as a gift the other day, and there's one left.

Drink this and feel better.

Okay.

What are all these, Dad?

I... I said it's nothing.

You said you refunded all of these.

Well, I...

Dad, you should stop watching Home Shopping.

I'll never buy anything from Home Shopping ever again!

Leave them alone.

I'll get a refund on all of them tomorrow.

Let's just use the lotion and humidifier.

And just wear the innerwear.

They won't refund them since it's been so long.

Seung-geun, you're out of lotion, right?

Oh, gosh!

This is all because of that host, Ms. Hong something.

It's all her fault!

This set at this low price...

This will be the last time you'll see anything like this.

The free gift, the sesame oil set is on me!

Whenever she says anything, I automatically buy.

I have no idea what's gotten into me.

She lures me with the sesame oil...

and it turned out that it wasn't even a good deal.

Oh, darn it!

Why is my ear so itchy?

I think Ji-sung and her husband got into an argument.

My treasure #1.

Mom?

Hi, Professor Ma. You're not sleeping yet?

No way. I only have a few days left until my thesis is due.

But why aren't you sleeping yet, Mom?

I was worried since your voice sounded sad earlier.

Is your husband giving you a hard time?

Oh, no.

Then why do you sound so sad?

I want my daughters to be happy and proud of themselves.

And you're the brightest out of everyone.

I want you to be treated with the respect you deserve.

Of course. Who am I?

I'm the eldest daughter of the queen bee, Hong Ae-ja.

That's right.

And let me say this again.

If your husband or your in-law ever give you a hard time,

you just leave your marriage with your daughter.

I'll take care of everything for you.

All right.

I know I can always count on you, Mom.

Oh, Mom, I heard that Dad moved back into the house.

So you two are living together again?

No, it's not like that.

He's just here to pack his things.

We got divorced. How can we live under the same roof?

Tomorrow is Grandfather's memorial service.

Why would you remember that when you have so much stuff to remember?

Oh, yes.

Tomorrow is your grandfather's memorial service.

What can I do?

I can't ignore it just because I divorced your father.

Memorial service?

I've prepared his memorial service for over 30 years.

How can I forget the day?

Yes. Of course.

I know. I'm sure I have to do something.

Right. Of course.

She can't ignore her father-in-law's memorial service just due to our divorce.

Maybe I should've invited Mother to come.

Hello, Ma'am.

Hi, Director Jung.

You're getting more beautiful by the day.

This way, please.

How come the elevators aren't coming down quickly enough?

Have a safe trip upstairs.

Hey.

Gosh.

Did you patch things up well with your team leader?

No.

She's still mean to you?

You said you fixed her crappy car.

You said I was her dark horse!

I did?

When did I say that?

Oh, gosh. What's the point?

I saw her the other day,

and although she is kind of cute,

she sure is charismatic.

What? She's cute? Cute? She's cute?

She's gross. So gross.

And why would any woman be charismatic?

Hi. You're both here.

Hello.

Sung-chan, it's been a long time.

Yes. I came because I have a class to take here today.

I see.

Mr. So, are you happy with your new team?

Oh, well...

Don't even get him started.

The new team leader is driving him crazy.

I feel so sorry for this fellow.

It's been days since he started working under her.

But she's only making him...

clean the office and make photocopies.

What?

She insisted on stealing him to her team,

and she's making him clean and make photocopies?

Well, they're not the only things she's making me do...

Either way, I wasn't assigned any real work from her yet.

That's the same thing!

Because you're absent from the Gangseo branch office,

they're suffering so much of a loss!

And all she can do with you is demand petty labor?

All right.

This woman...

Hello, Ma In-sung speaking.

Did you call for me?

Yes.

I just don't think this is right.

Pardon? What are you talking about?

You were brought in for a mere 6-month project.

Then you insisted on dragging our treasure, So Jung-geun,

and you're not even utilizing him properly!

What do you mean by that?

I hear that you're not giving him any work...

and throwing him some mop to clean the office.

And then making him make photocopies.

So?

What do you mean, so?

How can you say "so" to me?

Do you know how important...

So Jung-geun is to our sales department?

You took our very backbone away from our team!

Our department is about to crumble down!

Director Jung.

So is he the only backbone of this company?

Then why are you sitting down here like this?

You said your team is crumbling down.

If your situation is so urgent,

I don't think you should be talking nonsense to me,

who is only in charge of a mere 6-month project.

Go out there and be the backbone of your team,

Director Jung.

I'll take care of So Jung-geun myself.

Oh, she scared me.

So Jung-geun,

so this is how you want to play, huh?

Oh, it's so heavy.

Oh, gosh...

What is that?

What do you think it is? It's the screens.

S... screens?

Why would you take that out already?

It must be heavy. You should've asked me to do it.

I should put this over there, right?

Oh, no. Not there. Just put this here.

Since I can't pay you back immediately,

just give me a little time.

Not a problem.

You can't give me the money since you don't have any.

Why are you unfolding that here?

You should just put that over there.

The memorial service will be held over there.

What memorial service?

This is the line to divide our territories.

Divide our territories?

Don't come over this line.

I guess we'll have to live like this for the time being.

Don't come over this line, all right?

Oh, all right. All right.

Now that we have the screens unfolded,

we can hold the memorial service right here.

I have so much to do,

so please don't get on my nerves today.

Oh, gosh.

So much to do?

Maybe she's going to do the groceries.

I didn't even mention a word of the memorial service.

But she took out the screens...

and hurriedly went out to do the groceries.

She's been holding the memorial service...

for over 30 years without fail.

How can she ignore it just because we had a quarrel?

But she caused a scene on your birthday party...

and even kicked you out.

There's no way she would back down so easily.

Maybe she was just venting out that day...

because of all the anger that was inside of her.

That's no way to vent out your anger!

Of all days, on his 60th birthday party?

How can she throw a fit like that with all of us present...

Just what does she take us for?

Mother, she must've just threw the divorce papers at him...

to show him that she's really angry.

It's not easy to just get a divorce.

She locked the doors

and threatened to call the police on us.

Well, at the end of the day,

he moved in back with her in that house.

Who knows when she'll turn crazy again...

and kick him out of the house?

Didn't you hear her that day?

She said that the house belongs to her.

Didn't you hear her shout that to us?

Oh, come on, Mother.

My wife can't say anything like that anymore.

I thought about it,

and it turns out that I contributed to buying that house.

You contributed to buying your house?

Yes, with my retirement pension.

I helped her pay off the mortgage.

She forgot about that fact.

Your retirement pension?

How could she forget such an important fact?

And what did she say to us?

She bought that house with her own money?

How dare she say such things?

I should just...!

Mom! Mom! Mom!

Mother, please calm down.

Even though we're legally divorced,

we're living in the same house and nothing's changed.

That's right.

That's why she took out the screens...

and is getting ready for the memorial service.

Why, of course!

Is that so?

So, she is saying she will prepare...

for the memorial service with her own hands?

Why, of course!

If you're so unsure of it, why don't you come to my house...

and see for yourself before heading back to your house.

Goodness Jung-gi, think about your wife's position.

She wouldn't want to see Mother after causing all that ruckus.

That's right.

I think we should just hold it quietly this year.

And Mother should ust go back home.

This is the time for us to take a step back.

Well, as long as she swears that she'll hold the memorial service properly.

Hello?

Is this Home Shopping?

Hello, Mr. So Pan-seok?

How did you know my name?

Oh, we keep track of our frequent customers.

How can I help you today, sir?

Oh, I see.

I want to return a product that I purchased.

Sure. I can help you with the return.

Good.

Recently, I purchased a set of 10 cleanser bottles.

And I want to return them.

Yes, I understand, sir.

Did you open the package?

Why, of course.

I opened it to use it.

I see. So you opened the package, is that correct?

In that case, we cannot accept the return.

Why won't you take it back just because I opened the box?

You used to accept returns without any problem!

I know. However, our policy has changed,

and we do not offer returns to opened packages.

Have a wonderful day, sir.

Hel... hello?

Hey! Hey!

Why did you clean the bathroom during office hours?

You used to be so lazy that you even let go of our customers before.

Hello?

Is this Home Shopping?

Honey, I'm home.

Mother is going back to her house without joining our memorial service.

So let's do a simple one tonight.

Hey. Honey?

Is she still out doing the groceries?

She doesn't have to make it complicated.

Oh, well.

I guess it's not easy to pick the perfect ingredients for the service.

I guess I was a bit harsh on her.

Hello, everyone.

The finest moment of Home Shopping!

It's time for "It's On Hong Ae-ja."

I'm back.

I collect all the good products and offer you the biggest bargains.

We, SH Home Shopping, strive to give your home...

happiness with our great deals.

"It's On Hong Ae-ja."

The product I'm going to introduce you to today is...

Incontinence panties...

How long has it been since you laughed out loudly...

with all of your might without feeling scared?

How long has it been since you were out...

without being worried about finding the next restroom?

Today, May 26, is the day of your freedom.

Cut! Cut! Cut!

What?

This isn't a live show. It's a recording.

We don't know what day this will be aired,

you can't mention today's date.

Oh, that's right. Sorry.

I'm so used to doing live shows.

Sorry. Sorry.

Let's do it again.

Hang on.

Okay, let's do it again.

Okay.

Cue.

Hello, everyone.

Oh, goodness.

Hello, Jung-tae?

Mother left safely?

Far from it.

Mom is insisting on going to your house right now.

I have to give her a hard lesson!

This is no time for me to back down.

I'm going to go and make sure...

that she's preparing for the memorial service with my own eyes!

What?

You're on your way here right now?

She's not going to Jung-soo's house?

On the contrary, Jung-soo is on his way to your house right now.

You know that nobody can dissuade Mom, right?

Do what you can. Bye now.

Hey! Hey!

What do I do?

I can't just prepare rice for the memorial service.

How come she's not picking up her phone?

Why does he keep calling me?

What?

It's going on air at midnight?

Who in the world will buy incontinence panties at that crappy hour?

He said since old folks sleep late...

Even if that's the case,

who'd be watching Home Shopping at midnight?

And who's saying all this nonsense?

The new director.

There's a new director?

He's the son of the owner.

He was trained at some other company,

and he just became our new director.

Big deal if he's the son of the owner.

He doesn't know anything!

Fine, I'll meet with him one of these days.

Why do you keep calling me?

We're in trouble!

Mother is on her way here for the memorial service!

So what do you expect me to do?

I'm talking about Father's memorial service!

What do you want me to do about your father's memorial service?

I'm busy, let's hang up.

Honey! Hey! Hey!

Oh, gosh. What do I do?

Mother will be here any minute.

Hang on.

I should call the girls to come home early today.

Hello, Dad?

Memorial service?

Oh, I'm going to be home late today.

Huh?

Oh, I see.

Just do your work, then.

Oh, goodness... What do I do?

Hello, Hee-sung?

I couldn't reach Mom by her phone,

so I'm calling you, Dad.

Dad, I left the materials for tomorrow's conference in my room.

I need you to bring it to me ASAP.

Hee-sung, your grandfather's memorial service...!

Oh, no. What do I do?

There's nothing for me to prepare.

Oh, the tofu is on sale today.

Oh, one-plus-one deal?

Oh, goodness. What do I have to buy?

Hang on. Hang on.

Oh, right. Fish, meat, red and white fruits.

I need to buy fish and some meat.

And I'll buy apples and pears.

Yellow corbina! Yellow corbina!

And herbs. I need to buy herbs.

Herbs. Herbs...

Sir, what kind of herbs are you looking for?

I need herbs for a memorial service.

I don't know what I need to buy.

Generally, you prepare bracken, mungbean sprouts,

and some spinach.

Give me those, please.

But how do I cook these herbs?

My wife is very busy right now,

so I have to help her...

But I don't know how to cook any herbs.

For bracken, you put them under water...

Wait. Hang on.

Now, go ahead.

Put bracken under cold water,

and then squeeze out the water.

Put it under cold water and squeeze it out.

For mung-bean sprouts, boil it for just a little bit...

and squeeze out the water...

and add some sesame oil and salt, and mix them well.

And for spinach...

Please go slowly...

Mix them well...

For spinach, boil it for just a little bit,

then squeeze out all the water.

Oh, before that, put it under cold water first.

No, put it under cold water before squeezing out the water.

That's right.

Mix it well with sesame, salt, and sesame oil.

Mix it well.

Mix it well, huh?

Thank you...

Here you go.

Thanks.

Oh, goodness...

Hang on.

So I just need to grill the fish.

And the meat... the meat...

Oh, no!

I bought pork instead of beef.

Oh, well, Father used to love pork.

So I'm sure it'll be all right.

Herbs... herbs... herbs...

Oh, the fish patties.

Oh, no! They're frozen!

How do I thaw them?

Yeah, I should just boil them.

Hello?

We're leaving now.

What?

Hey! Hey! Hey!

No! No!

Try to take as long as possible!

Try to bring Mother as slowly as you can.

All right.

Oh, gosh. What do I do now?

Hang on just a minute.

I need flour to make patties.

Where is that flour?

Oh, gosh.

What do I do?

Oh, gosh!

Oh, goodness...

What do I do?

Darn it!

What are you doing right now?

What do you think?

I'm preparing for the memorial service!

Where were you all this time?

Why are you yelling at me?

What's it to you where I've been?

What are you doing? Come and help!

Mother is on her way here!

Oh, you should hurry, then.

Try to make it simple.

Don't make such a mess.

Oh, no. What do we do about all that flour?

What?

Are you going to keep this up?

What kind of memorial service are you preparing without chestnuts?

Chestnuts.

I... I forgot to buy chestnuts.

One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four.

Three, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

Oh, gosh.

Oh, my... you bought roasted chestnuts?

Oh, well. They're chestnuts, after all...

What about jujubes?

You also need jujubes.

You can't prepare a memorial service without jujubes.

Jujubes?

Why didn't you tell me when I went out to buy chestnuts?

I thought you'd buy jujubes, too.

It's not the first time you've been to a memorial service.

Oh, gosh!

My goodness, chestnuts and jujubes are basic things on the table.

You seriously didn't know that?

One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four.

Three, two, three, four.

Oh, it's all done now.

All I need to do is make patties.

You bought ripe persimmons, too, right?

Ripe... persimmons? What for?

What do you mean?

You said your father loved persimmons so much.

Even after I prepared so much food for the memorial service,

if I forget to buy persimmons, your mother would throw a fit.

How could you, of all people, forget that?

Oh, goodness.

We'll just do it without persimmons!

Oh, that was allowed?

Then why did you make such a big deal out of it...

when I forgot to do that before?

Oh, goodness!

Oh, darn it!

Why are these patties burning?

I'm going crazy!

What's wrong with him?

He's going to burn down my house.

The heat must be too high.

I know! I can see that!

You're of no help to me at all!

No... no way. Is she here already?

She's here. She's here.

You seem a bit busy. Should I open the door?

Wait! Wait! Wait a minute!

We're here.

Mother is here.

Ouch, it's hot!

Oh, it's hot! Ouch!

What's going on here?

What the...?

Oh! Oh, my gosh...

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

Grandma, you should think about the neighbors, too.

Grandma?

Father.

Oh, what is this?

Let's go and have our house on sale.

Come out already.

You look so familiar. Do I know you?

We've never met before.

I will show you everything about me.

I have no interest in getting to know you.

All I have is you guys...

Mom! Mom!

Nurse!
