Original subtitles

I will tell you a lot of funny stories.

And when you don't feel like eating alone,

or when you're sick or lonely,

just call me and I will be your friend.

From now on,

I will like you.

I think Yeong-jae is home.

Would you like to come in?

No, it's too late. I'll see him another time.

Okay, then.

Next time, I will give you a formal invitation to our home.

Okay, I'll be waiting.

Goodbye.

Bye, go inside.

Are you just getting home?

Yes.

I heard a car.

Did Min-hyuk give you a ride?

Yes. I invited him in, but he said it was too late.

I see.

Why did he want to see you today?

Is he really going to make a movie with your scenario?

That's not it.

It was his birthday today.

Oh, really?

You told me you two were close. How can you not know his birthday?

You don't even know your own birthday.

Your friends are supposed to remember your birthday for you even if you forget.

So what? What about his birthday?

It's his birthday but he doesn't have family or friends to be with.

So I had a dinner with him.

I realized that money has nothing to do with loneliness.

So, you only had dinner with him?

And...

He asked me to like him.

Oh my gosh.

Are you okay?

So? What did you say?

What could I say?

I told him okay. I told him I would.

What?

Min-hyuk told me that I make him laugh and that he's happy when he's with me.

So I told him I would continue to make him laugh and be his friend when he's lonely.

He also said that you didn't know my true value.

I may only be a rice cooker to you, but I'm a gift to others.

What? A gift?

Right. Have you had your dinner?

No, I haven't eaten! Make dinner!

You didn't eat yet?

You were waiting for me?

Am I stupid? Do you think I wouldn't eat because I was waiting for you?

I was too busy to eat today.

I just got home after working all day!

Hurry up and make dinner!

"Hurry up and make dinner!"

A gift, my foot.

Is a rice cooker a gift?

-Good morning, Mr. Yoo. -Hi.

Yeong-jae is on a photo shoot for the magazine cover. Come look.

One, two.

Oh, you're here.

-Hello. -Yes, you're working really hard.

How are the reviews for his movie?

It's still just so-so.

It seems the advertising was a little weak this time.

Please give us a hand.

Sure.

About Ji-eun,

is she doing the work you need?

She's not very refined,

but she has talent.

She's going to be fine.

Well, that's a relief.

I heard it was your birthday.

Sorry, I didn't know.

You don't have to be sorry.

I don't know your birthday either.

Anyway,

I have no problem with you meeting Ji-eun,

but you should've let me know beforehand.

I may misunderstand the situation.

Misunderstand?

Ji-eun is different from all the other girls you've met.

I don't know why you're interested in her,

but don't play around with her.

I didn't know you were interested in anyone

other than Hye-won.

What?

I understand what you're trying to say,

but I've never played around with her.

I don't want to explain it or try to make you understand.

I don't intend to apologize too

because I don't feel bad about it.

What?

But let me give you a piece of advice.

From now on, don't falter. Hold your ground

and... don't be slack.

From now on, don't falter. Hold your ground

and... don't be slack.

-Hey, Ji-eun. -Yes? What is it?

About Min-hyuk...

Min-hyuk has always been popular with women.

So, he's very good to every woman he meets.

What?

So, even if Min-hyuk is really good to you or takes great interest in you,

don't mistakenly think he likes you and fall for it.

What? Don't fall for it? Fall where?

No, what I'm trying to say is...

You're still pretty naive, and you don't really know how men are.

So, I'm just giving you advice,

don't be tricked thinking he likes you, just because he's good to you.

What?

And I didn't want to say this,

but he is such a player.

He's a professional when it comes to women.

Hey, Yeong-jae...

What?

I don't know why you're telling me this,

but it sounds very inappropriate.

Are you questioning my friendship with Min-hyuk?

What? Your friendship?

Min-Hyuk and I meet as friends.

Your impure imagination is really unpleasant.

You dumb. This is why I say you're naive.

You're so slow and stubborn that you can't get what I mean.

What? Slow?

Okay. I'll take back that part...

Anyway, I'm telling you to be careful and not to regret later.

Why would I be when the whole country knows I'm your wife.

Why would Min-hyuk like me? Does that make sense?

I know it doesn't make sense

but it can happen.

You've got a talent for making people feel good. You've got that trait.

What?

So, what I'm trying to say is...

Anyway, I've never given my rice cooker away as a gift,

so you better behave, okay?

Yeong-jae.

What?

I think we should invite Min-hyuk to our house sometime.

What?

It's just...

It's sad that he's always alone without family

and he's always taking me out to eat,

so it'd be nice if we could repay him by inviting him to our house.

That's ridiculous. Why would I invite him?

And he fed you, not me.

And do you think this is your house? You can't just invite anyone you want.

Hey, Ji-eun.

Now, what?

I'm going to invite Min-hyuk over for dinner tonight,

so get it ready, okay?

What?

You said you wanted to invite him to our house.

Still, how can you tell me that now?

What do you mean, how? If I say to get it ready, just do it.

Oh, and don't make that jellyfish salad.

I'm serious.

Have a good one, then.

MAKING JAPCHAE

He's got such a strange personality. Back and forth.

What am I supposed to do if he suddenly invites a guest?

I don't know how to make anything. God...

Hello?

Oh, is this Three Bears?

Excuse me?

No, this is Ji-eun.

Yes.

But is Mother there?

I have something to ask her.

Sorry?

It's just that I want to make japchae, and I don't know how.

How can you not know how to make such an easy dish?

Yes,

I'll teach you, so come over. Hurry up and come, okay?

Okay, come over now. Okay, bye.

How can you not know how to make this?

That's why I told you to come and live with us.

There is more than a few things you can learn from your elders.

First, you need 200 grams of noodles,

and 50 grams of pork,

a quarter of an onion, and one-fifth of a carrot,

and some mushrooms,

spinach, and green onions.

And two tablespoons of soy sauce, one tablespoon of sugar,

and a teaspoon of sesame oil. That's what you...

It's all set?

But we don't have a scale. How much is 200 grams?

Oh.

Well, this is 200 grams.

You can't tell by just looking at it?

No, do it like this.

When will you ever finish making japchae if you cut it like that?

Like this.

Oh, what's wrong with this knife? We need a new knife.

Here, you do it. My wrist aches...

Nice.

Oh, it looks delicious. It'll be good.

Please try it?

You try it first.

Okay.

Why, is it strange?

It's really greasy and the noodles are hard and the spinach is overcooked.

I think we left it too long in the water.

That can't be...

If I take something like this, Yeong-jae will have a fit.

He'll say it's not even food.

How strange.

What happened? I did it just like it said in the book.

Excuse me?

I mean,

if you've followed my instructions, this wouldn't have happened.

I don't know. Take care of it yourself.

Hey! If you were going to teach me, you should've done it right.

What happened?

Three Bears is pouting and saying she's just going to go home.

INGREDIENT

There are barbequed short ribs in the refrigerator, just take that home.

If you're going to have guests, then short ribs are better.

Japchae is quite shabby.

-Grandmother, what is this? -Yes?

You don't even know how to make japchae.

You should've just told me from the start.

Why did you do that? Why?

Oh, my blood pressure...

Grandmother. Please get on my back. Hurry, my back.

No, I'm never getting on your back again!

I...

I was the only daughter of a rich family,

so I've never lifted a finger in my life, I've never even gotten my hands wet.

I've always had people working for me.

And now because of that darn japchae,

you will lose your respect for me,

all because of that japchae.

Why did you ask me to make japchae? And you made me look bad...

No, it was my fault, Grandmother.

It's not something that can be swept under the rug.

You're going to lose your respect for me.

What's going to happen to our family?

Oh, my dear...

I'm sorry. It's all my fault, Grandmother.

Then...

If you really are sorry,

then why don't you sing me a song?

Sorry?

Oh, my dear...

Three bears live together in one house

Daddy bear, mommy bear, and baby bear

Daddy bear is fat

Mommy bear is slim

And the baby bear is so cute

Hey!

Hey, forget it if you don't want to!

Do you call that singing?

That's not it. Why do you hate me so much?

What?

I like Father, Mother, and you.

But why do you hate me? Why?

When have I ever said that I hate you?

Three bears live together in one house

-Daddy bear, mommy bear -What is that?

-It sounds like your mother. -Baby bear

Daddy bear is fat

Mommy bear is slim

And the baby bear is so cute

They are so good together

Oh dear...

So, is that man always going to follow you around?

Just for the time being.

I know it's annoying. But I don't think I have a choice.

Don't worry too much about him.

Then you won't even be able to have dinner with me?

Dinner?

Well, I guess he could go with us.

The thing is, we've invited someone over for dinner tonight.

Oh? Really?

Actually, it's Min-hyuk.

Let's have dinner another time.

Sure, let's do that.

Excuse me, are you almost done?

I'm done, wait outside.

Are you just getting here?

You made it just on time.

What are you doing?

You know how to make short-ribs?

But is it edible?

Of course, I got it from Ilsan.

You went there?

Yes, I wanted to learn how to make japchae.

So, what did you learn?

We ran out of time.

Your mother had short-ribs ready and told me to take it, so I did.

That's probably better.

If you've just learned, it won't be good.

You're not very smart.

What did you say?

And I'm telling you in advance...

When I kick your foot...

-What? -Then do this.

-What? -You got it?

Why do I have to do that?

You'll find out later, so just do as I say!

Look carefully.

Got it?

Excuse me, would you mind moving aside?

The road is too narrow. I'm sorry.

Oh, hello!

Yes?

You don't remember me? I met you at the theater, I'm Ji-eun's friend.

Oh... hello.

Their house is nice and quiet,

but the transportation is so bad.

Anyway, this is such a nice car.

You must be very good friends with Ji-eun.

Yes, I've known her since junior high

and Dong-uk has known her since elementary school.

I see.

When her parents died, we used to skip school and cry together.

Ji-eun has had such a sad life.

She lost her parents to a car accident

and she used to live in the house she's living in now, all by herself.

So, that house is actually Ji-eun's house?

Yes, it was. But now, it's Yeong-jae's.

If it weren't for me and Dong-uk,

she wouldn't have had to go through the contract marriage

with that jerk, Yeong-jae.

Excuse me?

What did you just say?

Sorry? What did I just say?

I'm such an idiot...

Will you hurry up?

You should've made it look nicer. What is this?

Leave it alone. It's up to me. It looks fine.

Oh, he must be here.

If I kick you, you know what to do, right?

Do it, okay?

Who is it?

Hi, Ji-eun...

What brings you here, Hui-jin?

No special reason.

Here, this is for you. Bye.

Hey, you're just going to leave?

Hi, you're here.

This is what we normally eat.

I'm sorry I didn't make anything special for you.

Since my wife hasn't been married long, she's not a very good cook yet.

You understand, right?

No, it is delicious.

My mother-in-law made it. I didn't make it.

I'm sure she'll be a good cook, very soon.

Anyway, my wife improved greatly. Isn't that right, dear?

Your house looks so different from the outside.

It does, doesn't it?

Our house was designed

and built by my father-in-law, wasn't it, honey?

This is the house she's lived in all her life.

Every corner is full of memories,

so it's a very special house for my wife.

Isn't that right, honey?

Our master bedroom and soon-to-be-born children's rooms are upstairs.

Because of privacy reasons,

I can't show you the rooms.

Am I right, honey?

Yes, sure.

We're going to have a lot of children,

two boys and two girls?

It's because my wife grew up all by herself.

What are you doing?

What did I do?

I was wondering why you wanted to invite him suddenly.

How can you be so childish?

What? What's so childish?

And why do you keep calling me "honey"?

I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

Why? What's wrong with it?

That's what married couples do.

It's okay.

It's our wedding picture.

It came out nicely, right?

-Yes. -We're such a cute couple.

Yeong-jae's nostrils look really large in that picture, don't they?

Hey...

Please.

We have a Karaoke machine. Shall we sing a song or two?

My wife's a good singer. You know the song "Three Bears," right?

She dances really well, too.

I'm sorry, but I should go now.

Already?

Yes, I still have some work to do. I should be going now.

Please have some fruit first.

That's okay.

Thank you for inviting me.

I should go.

What's wrong with you? Honey?

You told me to when you--

Honey, you've been telling me that you weren't feeling very well.

Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe you're pregnant.

What?

Wow, what a wonderful event for our family.

So, I'm going to be a dad, too.

What's with you?

Honey, I love you so much. I'm so happy.

No. it's--

I don't know what to do. What...

What do you think? Min-hyuk, I think my wife is pregnant.

What's wrong with you?

Oh, congratulations.

Thanks, Min-hyuk.

Wait. I think it moves.

-Goodbye. -Drive safely.

Bye.

Bye, Min-hyuk.

Now he must know who this rice cooker belongs to.

What?

No, it's nothing.

But what is going on?

Why did you suddenly say I was pregnant?

When you get married, you get pregnant. What's wrong with that?

What's wrong? I'm not pregnant. Why did you lie? He's going to find out.

Then I'll tell him, "Oops, I guess not." That's all.

So, why did you lie about it in the first place?

I had my reasons!

Some might think you're fussing because you're jealous.

What? Jealous?

That's what it seems like.

No way!

Stop nagging and just do the dishes.

He is so weird. He's got the weirdest personality!

Seriously...

Mr. Kim, it's me.

I'm sorry for calling so late.

Would you please check on something?

Are you feeling good about something?

No, nothing like that.

Ji-eun.

What are you doing today?

I'm going to see Min-hyuk this afternoon with my scenario.

When will you be done?

I don't know.

The only thing I have is the signing event.

When it's done, let's eat together. Got it?

What's gotten into you?

What do you mean?

A pregnant woman should eat well

so the baby can grow.

What did you say?

See you later, honey.

Hello.

Yes.

Please put your work over there and just leave.

You want me to just leave?

Okay, then. Goodbye.

Ji-eun.

I just can't figure you out.

Pardon?

I'm trying to figure out

what I need to do with you.

You can go.

We'll talk about it later.

Hello?

Hello? Who is this?

Hello?

This is Hye-won.

Can I see you for a moment today?

It was your birthday, wasn't it?

This is...

It's nothing special.

It's a tie pin.

I see.

Well, thanks.

I was contemplating...

whether or not

to give it to you.

I...

I loved you very much.

-Hye-won-- -No.

Listen to me first this time.

I feel like I always listened to you while you always talked.

Let me do the talking today.

I...

I didn't love you...

for what you have,

as you may think,

and I didn't hold on to you because of my greed.

I really loved you.

That's why...

I kept telling myself...

to be more patient.

I told myself to wait...

just a little longer.

I waited while lying to myself.

But...

I don't want to do it anymore.

Even though I loved you very much,

I also cherish myself dearly.

And now I'm going to protect myself.

I really appreciate your kindness,

all your birthday presents,

your kind greetings and concerns.

And all the funny jokes.

I appreciate all of them.

I won't forget them.

Now, I think I can see you with ease.

-I can't believe this. -Oh, my gosh.

LEE YEONG-JAE SIGNING EVENT

Hi, what's your name?

-Lee Seung-hye. -Seung-hye?

Is it true that Min-hyuk went to your house yesterday?

So what?

He didn't say anything?

What? Say what?

Oh, it's nothing.

Oh, Hye-won.

-Do you have a reservation? -Yes.

This way, please.

I'll order when my party gets here.

Okay, that's fine.

I met with Min-hyuk today.

I gave him a birthday present...

and told him that I was sorry...

and that I was grateful.

I told him to have a good life.

I did good, huh?

Yeah, you did good.

I used to imagine...

all kinds of things.

About living together,

cooking for him, doing laundry, cleaning the house,

and making delicious stew for him.

Looking at my watch and wondering when he'd be home.

Then

he would walk through the door with an armful of roses.

You know like on those...

TV commercials.

Hey, Yeong-jae.

I did the right thing, right?

Yes, you did.

Now just brush it all off and go back to being the strong Hye-won you were.

Right...

I just have to be the old Hye-won again.

Let's go for it!

What?

Oh.

Let's go for it! Bring it on!

"Bring it on?"

Cheer up, my dear friend, Hye-won. Bring it on. Go for it!

Bring it on. Go for it.

-Go for it. -Go for it.

Excuse me, may I get another glass of water?

Yes, ma'am.

Hello.

Ji-eun, it's me. You'd better get over here quick.

The two of them, it's getting strange.

You've got to get over here and bring them back to reality.

Be quiet, why should I go there?

Whatever.

I'm going to wait here, so tell him to do what he wants.

Where did they go?

Hye-won.

Did you fall asleep?

No.

I didn't know I would feel so free...

when I let Min-hyuk go.

Why was I so stubborn?

I'm really stupid, aren't I?

No.

It's okay.

But...

Why do I feel so tired today?

Go inside and rest.

You'll feel better.

Stay a little longer...

If I go in,

I'll have to be alone again.

Excuse me, we're closing now.

Okay.

Wow, you're up early today.

Oh, did you wait long yesterday?

Why are you always like that?

What?

Do you really think I'm an idiot?

Do you really think you can treat me like this?

What?

Why do you make me wait?

If I didn't show up, you should've just left.

Did you foolishly wait again?

Am I foolish?

Who's foolish?

You are the foolish one. If you like Hye-won, why don't you tell her?

What?

I know.

I know you're in love with Hye-won.

What?

And you can't even tell her. You're the stupid idiot!

Hey, don't talk about something you don't know anything about.

What's it to you anyway?

Why do I have to hear this from someone like you?

"Someone like you?"

That's right, someone like you.

Who do you think you are? Do you really think you're my wife?

Who are you to get into my business?

I know.

You and I are nothing to each other, and we don't even have a relationship,

but why do you make it so hard for me?

Who made it hard for you? Who? Me?

Why would you be hurt by me?

You keep making me wait.

How many times have you done this?

I waited yesterday, too.

I waited there until they told me it was time to close.

Then I waited for you at home.

"When is he coming home? Is he not coming?

Of course, he's coming home soon. He'll come."

I waited all night like that.

Why is it that I always have to wait for you?

So...

So who told you to wait, anyway? Who told you to wait?

Yes.

You're right, I'll never wait for you again.

I will never wait for you again.

Okay, don't wait for me,

and don't be delusional.

You don't mean anything to me, okay?

Yes, I know.

That I'm nothing to you.

Now, you are...

nothing to me, too.

Hello. Excuse me, you’re Mr. Lee Yeong-jae, aren’t you?

Say it here.

It’s kind of a long story.

Too bad.

Can I borrow some money?

What?

-Hey! -What?

Four bears lived in one house

Grandma bear, daddy bear Mommy bear, and baby bear

Ji-eun!

Ji-eun!

Hello.

Hello. You got here fast.

You're really quick.

It suddenly started to rain. I had nowhere else to call.

Yes, you did good to call me.

And you were so cold to me the last time we met. It bothered me.

I was cold to you?

Yes.

"Put your work over there and just leave.

I just can't figure you out.

We'll talk about it later."

Was I really like that?

Yes, do you know how weird you were?

Do you want me to tell you a funny story?

Sorry?

Do you know what they call the tallest person in Russia?

No, what?

Sky-Piercinglovsky!

Then do you know what they call the most famous thief in France?

No, I don't.

Overthewalljacque Everythingatonce.

And do you know the name of the most famous waiter in France?

What is it?

Duhdooshong. Was it funny?

Yes, it's funny.

This was popular a long time ago.

It was popular when I was in elementary school.

I don't know...

what I should do with you.

Hello? Ji-eun?

No, it's me.

I thought maybe you'd be worried.

Ji-eun is here right now.

No, she just fell asleep, so she can't get the phone.

Then tell her to wait there,

I'll be right over to get her.

No, you don't need to. When she wakes up, I'll take her home.

And, just so you know. I'm done thinking.

You see.

I've decided to take Ji-eun from you.

I LIKE THE WAY SHE SMILES

Hey, even chickens know how to get back home when it gets dark or rains.

And you are the stupidest chickens among them.

NEXT EPISODE

Father bear is fat

Is it funny?

LET GO OF YOUR REASON IN MARRIAGE!

Yeong-jae, you look especially good today. Come here.

Please Ji-eun, don't be like this. Please be reasonable.

Reasonable?

Birds don't have reasons, they only have instinct. Only instinct.

MARRIAGE ON THE LINE?

Yeong-jae, may I love him?

And... You do mean something to me.
