Let's see.

How to make kimchi.

Hey, that's not so bad.

First, cut the cabbages in half and soak them in salt.

I can do this!

Why isn't this working?

Hello, Jung-geun?

How is it going?

I'm just trying.

I searched the net for how to make kimchi.

The net?

What about Dad and Jung-ie?

Aren't they doing it with you?

What?

How can Dad do this to you?

How can he make you do all the work?

Don't even do it.

Jung-geun.

Come on in, Attorney Kim.

Please take a seat.

Attorney Kim, I have something to ask you.

If my daughter-in-law tarnishes my family's reputation,

how much can we ask for compensation?

If your daughter-in-law damages the reputation

to the point that it harms the sales of JW,

you can ask for an astronomical amount.

Even if her mother sells her house ten times, she can't pay for it?

I believe so.

Oh, no...

Hyung-suk.

Ji-sung.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I was just...

I never saw you wearing jeans.

Is it weird?

No, not at all. You look pretty.

-Hey, Ji-sung... - Can we...

You go first.

No, you go first.

Can we meet after work today?

Of course. If you want me to.

Thanks.

What? This is the best place you can think of coming to?

Let's go somewhere nice and cool.

This is nice and cool.

All right, then.

What did you want to talk to me about?

Shall I...

Shall you what?

Shall I learn how to play the guitar from you?

What?

I felt bad since I know you're so busy.

Remember how I was teaching you when we were dating?

Of course, I do.

I stopped while learning the F chord.

Why do you want to play the guitar all of a sudden?

I don't know. I just do...

But I guess it'll be hard, huh?

Why would it be hard?

Here.

Take the guitar.

Do you remember anything?

Oh, G major.

Good job. C major.

You can do A, too?

Try F, now.

How did it go again?

Stretch out your second finger.

Like that.

Put this up and the three fingers in the shape of a cane.

Like this? -The way I'm holding your fingers.

It's not working well.

You need to put some strength into it.

Press down your second finger hard.

Yes. That's right. That shape.

Hyung-suk...

I want to turn back time to ten years ago.

With you...

I feel like I lost my life to somebody, and I want it back.

What do you think about that?

I want to know.

Hello, Ms. Lee?

I got a positive answer from Shinilchang Two.

They were absolutely against it just yesterday.

I don't know what changed their mind.

I have a good feeling that we'll get the good news soon.

All right.

Thanks.

Who was that?

My production director.

For my new album.

I see.

It's late.

I should go and pick Mi-na up.

Ji-sung.

Shall we go play together with Mi-na?

If you have time tomorrow...

Oh.

I can readjust my classes. But do you have time?

I always have time for you and Mi-na.

Thanks.

Is anyone home?

Oh, hello, ma'am!

Oh my goodness, who do we have here?

Aren't you Ji-sung's sister?

Yes. How are you?

What in the world are you doing right now?

I'm making kimchi.

My goodness.

It's so strange to see you here

when I'm only used to seeing you work at the office.

Oh, come on. It's nothing new.

But what are you doing here?

Is your father-in-law home?

He went to see his relative.

What did you want to see him about?

Well, I...

There's a girl named Jung-ie here, isn't there?

Oh, she must be your sister-in-law now.

Yes.

What about her?

Does she have a boyfriend?

Why are you asking me that?

Well, because...

I wanted to make sure she's not close with Sun-jae.

Well...

Since he's Seung-geun's friend, he comes by often.

What is that girl like?

Does she try to befriend rich guys or...

does she have a complicated love life?

Ma'am!

You're going too far.

How can you say that about a perfectly good girl?

No, I was simply asking...

All you had to say was "yes" or "no."

Why would you yell at me?

Jung-ie is a very good girl

and was educated well by her father.

But...

If she's so well-educated by her father,

how can she spend the night in Pyeongchang with my son?

Well, either way.

Don't come here but ask Sun-jae himself.

Should I ask him in the office tomorrow?

I'll tell him that you want to know how he feels about Jung-ie.

No, I...

That won't be necessary.

When is Jung-ie coming home?

She's out working hard right now.

She'll be back late at night.

Late at night?

I guess she usually comes home late.

Ma'am!

No, I just...

I just meant that she must be working very hard.

Do you know where she works?

Even if I knew, I couldn't tell you.

But I'll let her know that you came by.

Tell her to call me.

I wonder if your mother knows what you're doing right now.

She must be upset to see you like this.

I'll get going.

Keep it up.

Good job.

How was it?

It was just so-so.

What went wrong?

I put twice the effort in today's show.

We sold only half of what Ms. Jung's team did.

Maybe we should've just had the footage on like you suggested.

Wow.

Ms. Hong, congratulations!

You're the Cinderella of jewelries.

Are you joking right now?

I only sold half of what Ms. Jung did.

You did well for the first try.

That's how everyone starts out.

You really think so?

You'll do much better next time.

Excuse me. I have a call.

Hello?

Yes. What is it?

What?

In-sung is making kimchi right now?

Yes.

I just got a call from Jung-geun.

I think his father is deliberately making In-sung suffer.

I'm going there to help her, too,

but I don't know how to make kimchi.

If you're done, hurry up and come.

Why should I go there?

In-sung brought it upon herself.

She didn't see this coming?

I warned her that it's like her jumping into fire with gasoline.

But she even lied about being pregnant to get married.

So what more can I do for her?

I'm out.

I don't care.

What do I do about this?

Why are you so upset?

When I think of In-sung, I get so upset.

She's just starting this harsh life with her father-in-law.

How will she endure all that?

Hee-sung.

Oh, it's hot.

Be careful. It's hot.

You should've seen your mother's show.

She goes so well with luxurious items.

You're here to tell me that?

No.

I'm here because I missed you.

I told you to not do this anymore.

Until you accept the meaning of my ring,

I can't stop coming here.

Please don't come to the hospital anymore.

We can talk outside of the hospital.

For real?

When can we meet, then?

Later. Later.

See?

She's finally starting to accept my heart.

You're going into surgery tomorrow.

Check your schedule.

Really?

What's going on here?

Dr. Kang came by earlier and rescheduled you.

And you're the off shift tonight, too.

He came here?

He told me that he enjoyed the food.

What the...?

In-sung, I cut all the cabbages into half.

What do I do next?

Dad, I need to put in some salt.

Salt. Salt. Salt.

No. No.

You need thick salt.

Thick salt.

Like this?

I'm not sure.

Your mom was putting in a lot more before.

A lot more?

Yes.

Will this be good?

Oh, goodness...

Well...

Hey.

Maybe the kimchi will be way too salty.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I can't believe I'm making you do this.

Don't be sorry.

Nobody is born knowing how to make kimchi.

This is how everyone learns.

But I'm just so clueless.

House chores and cooking...

I thought they were so trivial.

I thought anybody could do it once they set their mind to it.

But it's not easy.

You had no time to do house chores.

You didn't have time for cooking, either.

You were always studying and working abroad

that you didn't have a chance to see your mother do it.

I thought I could do anything and that everyone would acknowledge me.

You'll get better in time. Don't worry.

I'm just so proud that you're doing things

without complaining to your father-in-law.

Goodness, he'll get here in no time.

What do I do next?

Hang on.

After soaking it in salt, I need to make the sauce.

I need the sliced radish.

I'll slice the radish, so you do something else.

I need to make cucumber kimchi, too.

So I'll go wash the cucumbers.

Goodness.

Great job, you two.

When will you finish at that rate?

What took you so long to get here?

Mom...

Are you happy now?

Are you?

You even lied to marry into this lousy family.

Are you happy?

I was going to turn a blind eye on you

until you got on the floor and cried in regret.

I'm all right.

It's not as bad as you think it is.

Oh, goodness.

You think this isn't bad?

This is what you call "bad."

Just because you're a daughter-in-law,

you're stuck with all kinds of hard labor.

And they treat you like a guilty person...

Nobody treats me like I'm guilty.

Quiet!

He calls you over when you're in the office

and give you tons of cabbage to make kimchi.

That's making you a guilty person.

Maybe there's a class for in-laws.

He's doing exactly what my mother-in-law did to me.

As soon as I got married, she bought tons of cabbage like this.

And then, they all disappeared on me to do all the work.

How can they be identical?

It's exactly the same as what I went through 35 years ago.

Cut the nagging and hurry up and get to work.

You two get out.

You're in the way.

Why?

You're going to do this all by yourself?

How can I do all this all by myself?

Ladies, please come in.

Hello.

Who are these ladies?

They're from TV Home Shopping,

and they're professional kimchi makers.

They'll make you the best kimchi you've ever had.

Don't worry and do what you have to do.

Thank you, ladies.

So, it'll be cabbage, radish and cucumber kimchi.

Okay, girls, let's get started on this.

She's seeing how salty it is?

Do you need anything?

I really wanted to stay with Sungsudong mommy longer.

We can go later.

I can't afford to catch a cold from you.

You're talking way too much.

I'm all better now.

Go and wash your hands.

Huh?

Dad, something smells yummy.

Yeah.

Huh?

You didn't make that, did you?

Dr. Ma brought that, didn't she?

Huh? How did you know?

I knew it.

Dr. Ma would never forget about me

I wish she was here with us.

Stop the talking and put down the spoons.

Huh? It's Dr. Ma!

Dr. Ma!

Hi, Ha-young.

I can't believe this.

We were just saying we wished you were here.

Oh, really?

You were saying how much you wished I was here?

Whatever.

What are you doing here again?

To hear you say "Thank you."

What?

Wow, you finished all of my rice porridge.

Huh? You made him rice porridge?

Yeah.

That's what I did, Ha-young.

You were on the verge of dying from fever last night.

I wasn't on the verge of dying.

If I didn't lower your fever, you might've.

Anyway, I brought Ha-young's chicken stew,

and I nursed you all night.

I even made you rice porridge.

That was the worst porridge I ever had.

I could chew the rice.

Either way.

I thought you'd at least give me a warm thank you.

But...

An empty container?

I've never seen anybody return just empty containers.

Can you breathe in between your sentences?

Ha-young, what do you think about this?

You were wrong, Dad.

Say you're sorry, Dad.

Why should I apologize? I didn't do anything wrong.

Then...

Fill this container with just anything.

With what?

I don't have anything to fill it in with.

How about this?

Yeah. That's good.

Oh, gosh. Give me a break.

I need you to give me one every day for a year.

After getting 365 candies, I'll accept your thank you.

Whatever. Give that back if you don't want it.

Do you want to eat with us?

Well, I suppose you could.

Well...

If you insist...

Sit down next to me. Right here.

Should I?

Oh...

We need one more spoon.

Dad, what do we do?

We only have two bowls, too.

She can eat just anywhere.

Let's just get one bowl and spoon set for her.

Good idea.

Next time I come, I'll bring my own.

Yay!

What in the world...?

What do I do about this?

What do I do about this girl?

Huh? Mom, what are you doing here?

You make your breakfast here every morning?

Yeah.

My goodness, what can you make with this?

Oh my goodness...

Come on, Mom.

My father-in-law is a great cook.

What's that?

Why are you taking that out?

I have to grind the garlic.

Why would you do that?

Those ladies can do way better than you.

I have to learn how to make kimchi.

Since they're professionals.

She's so childish.

She just asks for more work.

Why is this so heavy?

My goodness!

Just look at this...

I returned all of the appliances and she's left with nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

"Duties of the Daughter-in-law?"

"One, I'm the 5th place in the family."

Why is she #5 in the family?

Since she married the oldest son, she should be #3.

"I must feed my family warm meals three times a day."

What?

"And if I don't fulfill my duty, I must get kicked out.

I'm simply following his orders.

Five: I alone will prepare ancestor memorial services seven times a year.

I must take charge of all events of our relatives."

She must take charge of what?

You call these duties of a daughter-in-law?

This is what a slave would do!

He's making her a slave!

Just a slave.

Gosh, those ladies sure can work.

They already finished the cabbage kimchi.

You!

What?

What?

What were you doing while In-sung was signing this paper?

You're all right with our well-educated daughter

becoming a slave in this house?

Of course, I'm upset.

If you're so upset, how can you sit here

and have her cook for you every morning?

How can you say that?

You think I like her cooking breakfast for me?

But I have to be here so that I can help her.

At least I can take her side.

You're absolutely of no help to her.

I taught her and brought her up so well.

I'm so upset!

She's living this miserably, but she's still so happy.

I'm going to take care of her from now on!

What is it?

Who's calling me?

What?

It's from Ji-sung's mother-in-law.

I wonder why she's calling me.

Answer it.

Hello?

Is there anything I can help you with...?

We didn't get to talk much at the wedding.

So I decided to ring you up.

You were giving me such a hard time about

everything Ji-sung was doing after she got married.

But with your second daughter, you must've just let go.

What do you mean by that?

Well, I stopped by her house earlier.

She was wearing an apron and gloves and cutting cabbages.

That was such a sight.

Well, she is very aggressive.

She just has to try everything herself.

Nobody is forcing her to make kimchi,

but she's so aggressive about everything.

Well, either way, you must be very upset.

You raised her to be so successful,

but she's missing work to do house chores.

Oh, I forgot to say what I called you about.

Very soon, Ji-sung and Woo-jae will be signing

their divorce papers, so don't worry about that.

Goodbye.

Why would this woman call me about this?

What did she say?

She said Ji-sung will get divorced soon,

and not to worry.

I thought the house would be in chaos.

Why is it so clean?

Hang on.

Maybe she cleaned everything and ran off!

Dad, hurry up and come in here.

Why?

Huh?

What's this?

My gosh...

You're saying In-sung made all this kimchi?

[Subtitles Provided By MBC]

Father!

Nobody knows how to make kimchi from the beginning.

I just can't understand why you're so eager to teach her.

Who are you going with?

With a friend.

Are you really my daughter?

I'm going to wipe it clean while nobody is here.

This is my #1 treasure.

Dr. Ma.

Why is he making me get my hopes up?
