[Episode 17]

The elevator is open.

Let's move on. Come on, people.

The elevator is here. Hurry up and get on.

Um...

Hello, Mr. Kim?

I'll be there tonight.

If you look here...

The outdoor wear is...

Ma'am.

What do you want?

Let me have a word with you.

I'm busy right now. Later.

It'll only take a minute.

I would think you'd want to end this conversation with me, too.

You do acknowledge that nothing happened between us that night, right?

You called me out to confirm that?

The fact that nothing happened between us isn't the problem right now.

The real problem is that the female boss came into the room of a male employee.

However, I'll generously think of it as a mistake.

So as long as you apologize, I'll let it go.

You want me to apologize to you?

Should we talk about this in detail?

I'm the one who went to sleep first that night.

True.

And you're the one who stayed behind to drink even more.

Of course, I drank more. So what?

Then, the person who sneaked into the room I was sleeping in

...either deliberately, or by accident, would've had to been you.

I would never sneak into your room deliberately

...and even if I did by accident, I didn't see you!

I had no idea who was already in the room!

Well, that's your fault for not seeing me.

It's not like I was hiding anywhere.

Fine.

Fine then.

Let's say I mistakenly went into your room.

And let's say that you were sleeping in that room without my knowledge.

Fine, I'll admit that it was my fault up to there.

But...

But what?

But you...sleeping every so deeply like Sleeping Beauty herself,

...and having no idea I was sleeping next to you.

Why?

Why did you open your eyes so widely to look at my naked body inch by inch,

...when I was clearly embarrassed?

You're being ridiculous!

And you counted my six pack lines one-by-one...

One, two, three, four, five, six!

You even counted them out loudly.

Well, you were right there!

You think men don't feel ashamed?

The humiliation I felt in front of you that morning...

In America, a female boss sexually assaulted her employee

...and was ordered to pay one million dollars in compensation.

You're not thinking clearly.

I'm not the one who asked you to get naked.

Do people have to pay a penalty for staring at a naked man on the street?

And you! You made me see something awful!

I can't wipe the ugly image from my head.

Think about the emotional anguish it caused me.

I'm the one who should be compensated.

You think I wasn't anguished myself?

Psychological treatment?

I'm the one who should get treatment!

I'm suffering from insomnia from that night!

Just be thankful that I'm way too busy to worry about this matter.

I'll think of it as me stepping on poop. Get lost now.

What? Poop!

Mom stepped on poop and now me...

Hello?

Yes, this is Ma In-sung speaking.

Hey! Where are you going?

Home shopping?

Mother!

Open the door right now.

Who's here so early in the morning?

Am I here too early?

Mother...

What brings you here at this hour?

Mom, what are you doing here?

What do you think?

Ji-sung.

Bring the contract that we signed when you two first got married.

Huh?

Why do you want to see it?

I said, bring it out.

Why are you looking for that contract all of a sudden?

You stay quietly.

Did you eat instant noodles last night for dinner?

And why were you sleeping on the sofa?

Do you not sleep on the same bed?

Well, more or less.

Mother, here's the contract.

Rip it up.

Huh?

I want you to rip it up with your own hands.

Mother...

We signed this contract together with my mom.

Mom, what if her mother finds out?

Are you that scared of your mother-in-law?

What are you waiting for?

I said, rip it up right now.

Let me ask my mother first.

I can call her myself.

Hello, it's me.

Oh, hello!

What pleasure do I owe for you to call me so early in the morning?

Oh, I just called...

You know, just to say hi and all...

Oh, you have a meeting with JW today, don't you?

Team Leader Ma In-sung will be in charge of this project.

I told all of my board members to pay special attention

...to my brand launching on your TV home shopping network.

Since your career depends on this project,

I told them that everything must be done meticulously.

Also, I told them to support Team Leader Ma In-sung

...so that she can show all of her ability.

Well, thank you so much for doing this for us.

I was actually on my way to work right now.

In-sung and I are both professionals at what we do.

You don't need to worry about a thing.

Yes. Right.

Bye now.

What? My career depends on it?

Your career depends on it, not mine.

Why would she call me so early to blabber a bunch of nonsense?

She must be eager to appear on my TV show.

Gosh, your mother was so humiliated last time when she was on national news,

...and she was about to be fired from the home shopping network.

I have no reason to launch my design on her show,

...but what can I do? She's your mother, after all.

I guess it's my duty to help her.

If I help somebody out, somebody will do the same for me.

And if another person gives in to me this once, then I will give in the next time.

That's the way life goes, Ji-sung.

Oh, goodness!

Where's my head?

I was so busy talking about work with her that I forgot to mention the contract.

Would you like to call her?

No, Mother.

Then, what about the contract?

[Baek Woo-jae and Ma Ji-sung's Household contract]

Sweetie, have some breakfast.

No, thanks. I have to go out now.

Did you buy another purse?

I didn't see that one before.

No. I had that before.

Oh!

Oh, my goodness!

When will you wear them all?

And...this!

What is this purse?

You're wiping my son out, aren't you?

My goodness! What should I do about this?

Just because you come out on TV, you're just so full of yourself!

If you got married, you should be at home quietly doing house chores.

How dare you go on a shopping spree?

All of these...

Mother, I bought them with my own money!

What are you doing?

My gosh! My gosh! I can't stand your mother!

What in the world is going on? What's the matter?

Stop your mother at once.

How can she be the same as she was before?

She goes through my closet and hits me saying I'm spending all of your money.

She's exactly the same as how she was before.

What?

Mother.

Oh, sweetie.

You shouldn't skip breakfast.

You need to eat breakfast to work.

I made some stew, so hurry up and eat.

Sit down over here.

Oh, goodness!

My mother hit you?

You're being a drama queen again.

How can she be exactly the same as before?

She's being so mean to me when I'm alone with her

...and once you show up, she turns into an angel.

My gosh.

You're being way too sensitive.

I don't care what you say.

Mother, you should go back to your house now.

Don't worry about me and just do your work.

I'll do all the house work for you.

I have to go to work now, Mother.

All right. See you later.

Wait! Wait for me.

Let me come with you.

Kids, wait!

Hold hands together like this.

Kids these days all hold hands like this and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Mother, see you later.

All right. Have a great day.

Didn't you know that I'm always a step ahead of you?

Oh, I love my oldest son's house the best!

Oh, how great!

What are you going to do now?

You don't expect your ex-wife to take care of your mother with dementia, right?

Why, of course not!

Just give me a little more time.

I'll persuade Mother to go back to her house later tonight.

What do you mean, persuade her?

You two are trespassing into my house right now.

You should say you'd leave at once with her!

You're going to persuade her?

I'm going to call the police and kick her out!

Oh, my goodness! Ms. Hong Ae-ja.

Please be a little more patient with the situation.

She won't live that much longer.

Just let her believe that we're having a good marriage.

Please?

I have to spend another night...r?

My gosh! I'm going crazy here!

Where is Mr. So?

He went to make copies, but hasn't been back for a while.

I wonder what he's up to.

That crazy jerk!

Hey, long time no see.

You look so cool today.

You should teach him a hard lesson.

He takes all the time in the world and thinks our office is his playground.

He walks around completely naked.

What's wrong with him?

Naked?

Ms. Ma is really mad at you right now.

For what?

For being away from your desk for so long.

I can't even make copies?

What took you so long to make copies?

All you have to do is insert the papers and press the start button.

You think it only takes one button click to do this?

Look. Look at how many copies I had to make.

What's wrong with me?

One, two, three...

Get it together. Get it together.

Did you want to speak to me?

Oh, yeah...

Hurry up and go to SH Home Shopping.

Right now?

Why would...

Can't you look at me when you speak to me?

Are you going to keep this up?

Even if you stepped on bull crap...

Don't you think you're going too far?

What?

Why don't you also cover your nose while you're at it?

Hush up and leave right now.

You're already one hour late for the meeting.

All right, ma'am.

You're always so mean to me.

Hey, when did you wash the bed spread?

You know for cleaner bed spreads...

You must wash and sanitize it in hot water twice a month.

And then let it dry under the sunlight.

And when you're cleaning...

You have to move your sofa to one corner

...and wipe the floor to avoid any allergies.

Mother, I already did the cleaning yesterday.

No. No.

You should do the cleaning again.

Bring out the vacuum after you're done with the dishes.

Mother, I'll ask the maid to vacuum under the sofa tomorrow.

I thought about it...

You never had a chance to learn how to do house chores from me.

Until you can do house chores and cooking perfectly on your own...

...don't use the maid.

All right.

But Mother...

I'm late for my lecture. I'll do the rest after I come back.

I don't think your lecture is what's important right now.

When will you learn how to do house chores?

You should cut down the numbers of your lectures.

Bring out the vacuum.

Professor!

Why are you so late?

Where are all the other students?

The office got a call from your house that you had to cancel today's lecture,

...so they went home.

A call from my house?

Yes.

But since I knew you'd never skip your classes,

...I told everyone that you'd show up.

Is that why you were waiting for me alone?

Yes.

I was confident that you would never miss your lectures.

Well, I'm late, but I'll start today's class.

Hello.

Oh, hi.

Oh, hello!

Hello!

Hi.

Hello.

Oh, hi.

Hello.

Hello.

Have a good day.

Oh, Ms. Hong! We heard the news!

What news?

You're launching Huh Eun-sook Design on your show?

Yeah, it just happened.

How did you get Designer Huh's approval?

I've tried to do that myself.

But I couldn't even get in touch with her.

How did you persuade Designer Huh Eun-sook?

Tell us. What was it?

How did you do it? Tell us!

How did you do it, Ms. Hong?

That's the difference between you and me.

Should I tell you one of my secrets?

Yes! Yes!

You don't have daughters, do you?

Daughters?

You get married first.

Have daughters and sacrifice your everything to raise them well.

That's the secret.

Hello? In-sung?

I'm on my way to meet him right now.

I'm Mr. So Jung-geun.

I'm Producer Kim Ho-sang.

Please have a seat.

Our home shopping network has such high expectations

...of launching Designer Huh Eun-sook's brand.

We, JW are also looking forward to launching Huh Eun-sook Design soon.

But I didn't get to look at any of the designs by Designer Huh Eun-sook.

We already went to her work room a few days ago

...and took a look at her recent designs.

I thought you were coming here yourself.

That's a shame on that employee.

How can he be one hour late for the meeting?

I should teach him a hard lesson when I meet him.

How can he be so unprofessional

...when he works for a large company such as JW?

All right.

Okay. Hang up for now.

Ms. Hong, he's from JW.

I'm Mr. So from JW.

[Representative So Jung-geun]

So Jung-geun?

One of my team members.

Oh, you saw him, too, Mom.

So Jung-geun, who picked me up from the airport.

How come there are so many people with the last name So?

She's our representing TV show host, Ms. Hong Ae-ja.

Oh, I see.

The woman from 'It's on Hong Ae-ja!'

She sold that expensive detergent and didn't even send me the sesame oil gift.

What?

We've met somewhere before.

Don't you remember?

Huh?

We've met before?

You have a very bad memory for a young man.

And why were you so late for the meeting?

In TV stations, time is gold and money.

We can't work with somebody who doesn't value time.

Oh, I see.

Time is truly gold and money.

Let's not waste anymore time and get straight to it.

I haven't seen you in ages!

What the...? She's Ms. Ma's mom!

Ms. Hong.

Mr. So hasn't looked at the recent design by Designer Huh Eun-sook yet.

He wanted to take a look at several samples of her recent work.

Before it goes on air,

I want to make sure the designs are consistent with JW Apparel's designs.

There's no need for that.

I already looked at all of her recent work.

There was nothing wrong with them.

Hurry up and set the air date.

And I want you to secure the golden time slot.

What do you mean, there's no need for that?

This is JW's first time launching over home shopping.

We can't have our customers think poorly of us by selling at ridiculous prices!

Nothing I sell will be ridiculous.

Designer Huh even named her clothes,

'Although the world is a difficult place, I want to be loved.'

'Seeking revenge on top of the mountain.'

She has such sentimental titles for her designs.

It's not 'Seeking revenge on top of the mountain,'

it's 'Seeking revenge in the middle of life.'

Well, who cares?

It means the same thing.

No.

You can't just wiggle your way out like this.

Home shopping is one of our marketing strategies.

We're going to approach this systemically

...and make solid production directions beforehand.

Look here!

I'm wiggling my way out?

I never said we don't have production directions.

I already worked on that.

You're a host! You can't decide on the direction!

That's the job for an MD, producer and marketing people!

Well, I'm better than most of the MDs and marketing people!

Don't worry about anything and just do as I say!

I've been a show host for 15 years.

I'm Hong Ae-ja from our star show!

[Victory Realty Now Hiring]

Victory. At ease.

My son, what's up?

Dad.

Do you know who I'm meeting right now?

Hong Ae-ja from 'It's on Hong Ae-ja.'

I'm meeting that woman right now.

Why are you meeting her?

Did she come to see you?

That she got fired because of me?

No.

I'm meeting her over work right now.

I can now understand how you were lured into buying her things now.

She's such a smooth talker and wiggles her way out of anything.

I told you.

She's the only person in this world

...who makes me take money out of my wallet.

But Jung-geun.

Don't say you're connected to me, okay?

She might take it out on you.

Don't you worry.

I'm just calling you because it's so hilarious.

Okay. Victory.

How can she throw me into the project that involves her own mother?

Hang on.

She said both her mom and her stepped on poop.

My dad and I are the ones who stepped on poop!

Why did she buy so much stuff?

She's spending money like water.

She thinks she's a millionaire?

She's always looking down on her husband.

My gosh.

What is this?

Goodness me!

How come so many buttons are on this shirt?

Is this the hottest trend these days?

Yes. Right.

So, there's nothing wrong with her brain?

Then, what about her symptoms of dementia?

You're sure that she isn't suffering from dementia?

Thank you.

All right.

Hello, Mom?

Dr. Ma! Can you get your grandma's test results soon?

They're out already, but...

What is it?

Tell me! Hurry up!

They can't be sure with just these results.

We have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure.

All right.

I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

Okay.

Bye.

What do I do about this?

Grandma got Mom good this time.

How do I tolerate another night with them?

Something doesn't add up.

Jung-ki, you must be hungry.

I made some seafood stew.

It smells amazing.

Hurry up and eat.

Mother, where did you get that shirt?

Oh, I don't think your wife was wearing it.

What do you think? Does it look nice on me?

You look lovely.

It's just perfect on you.

I want to live together with you forever.

Then, we can do that. Don't worry about it.

Let's do that.

Sure.

Let's live a happy, long life together.

Sure.

My goodness!

Dear!

You want to live a happy, long life together in this house?

[Subtitles Provided by MBC]

She has dementia.

So what?

What do you mean so what?

She will pay for everything, mother.

I'm at the ER because Mi-na has high fever.

It's just a fever. Why are you making a big deal?

Why are you home so late at this hour?

No one from our family understands me.

Don't you know that rumors can be devastating for some people?

Then, are you related to Hong Ae-ja?

I think Ms. Ma has feelings for you.
