Original subtitles

They say that children...

are incarnations of creditors in one's past life.

A mother with a large brood never has a peaceful day...

and life is better without children to care for.

Old sayings couldn't be more right.

I wonder how our ancestors came up with such wise notions.

Nicely done!

You're bleeding.

Joon Seon, are you all right?

Of course.

Some ointment and a good day's rest...

will clear this up instantly.

Please have me again sometime. I can even do more dangerous stunts.

Sure thing. By the way, stay for dinner today.

I'll pass today. I'm already late, you see.

Late for what?

Finalizing my divorce.

(Court)

My eldest son who's a stunt man or whatever...

signed himself up as a guarantor for a friend three years ago.

He lost his house because of it and ended up getting divorced.

- Mom! - Yes?

He crawled back into my house...

with nothing but the clothes on his back.

Did you land in Paris?

The flight must've been delayed.

There was weather trouble before boarding.

They're making you standby for too long these days.

You should ask for a raise.

You know how it is. So where are you?

I came to see a friend with Ji Hun.

It was getting stuffy at home.

That same year,

my eldest daughter who thinks that being pretty makes her a queen...

found out about her bigamist husband...

and signed the divorce papers right away.

Mom!

She shamelessly barged back home with her young son...

shocking me mercilessly.

I wonder if they can even grasp the level of anger I'm feeling.

Must they have gotten divorced back to back?

It's like getting hit where it already hurts.

Darn them.

Still, a dragon did rise from the ditch...

giving me hope.

Unlike her older siblings,

my second daughter is as smart as they come.

Her job isn't anything to brag about. Just a doctor.

"Also..."

"She might not be the smartest,"

"but my diligent youngest daughter does her best at everything,"

"and she's getting married in a few days."

Goodness, congratulations.

You have a daughter who's a doctor...

and one who's getting married soon.

I guess you were half successful with your kids.

Just kidding.

The anonymous listener...

- from Jungang-dong... - Young Dal!

Ok Boon wrote this letter to the radio show.

I can't believe her.

Why would she when there's nothing to be proud about?

At least she kept it anonymous.

The herbal cosmetics set they'll be giving her...

is worth about 200 dollars too.

- It's worth 200 dollars? - Yes.

- Mr. Song, good day. - Oh, hi.

- Can I get a medium-sized portion? - One medium size,

- but add in some extra chunks. - Okay.

I see that your wife isn't here which is unusual. Is she elsewhere?

Yes, she went to someplace nice.

What now?

What? Is she insane?

You have got to be kidding me.

Again?

What?

Unbelievable.

Did Ms. Jang go on a trip somewhere?

No, she went out to do something even better.

To spend money.

Mom, let's look at this one.

Gosh, how sexy.

I don't know if you can even call this sleepwear.

They all seem pretty to me.

Besides, you should look sexy as a newlywed.

Are you looking for sleepwear for couples?

Yes.

You must be shopping for newlyweds.

Not me though. I'm divorced. These are for my sister.

Gosh, this one's pretty.

Can I see this in a small and large size?

Sure thing. Can you wait while I check our storage?

Sure.

Hey,

being a divorcee is nothing to be proud of.

Well, what else can I say? It's not like I can lie.

Anyway, don't be like that.

Divorce isn't something to be proud of,

but it's nothing to hide either.

It's trending from what I hear.

Don't try to sugarcoat it. It shouldn't be a trend.

I'm just saying that people's values have changed.

Going our own ways...

is better than living in misery.

Why would I live with a man who loves another woman?

Just shut it. It might be a trend for you,

but people my age see it as a flaw.

So don't think about causing a scene at Da Hee's wedding...

and stay quietly in your seat.

I can't help it. I have a face that people stop to stare at.

Anyway, you worked hard too to get what you wanted.

Da Hee's fiance.

After he passed the level five civil servant exam,

you cooked side dishes for him and even made kimchi for his family.

It's finally time for you to collect.

I wonder how much they pay civil servants these days.

Ga Hee, stop it.

I didn't do any of that hoping for something in return.

Is that so? That's not what I thought at all.

Why isn't Da Hee even calling us though?

Is she really going to make us plan the wedding ourselves?

She's not acting like a bride-to-be at all.

Yes, I'm listening.

A low-sodium in-flight meal?

You can choose that option yourself on the right-hand corner...

- of the airline's website... - Do I get a meal or not?

Yes, ma'am. It's all part of the package deal.

Of course, I'll confirm that option for you.

- Then have a good day... - Whatever.

Goodness. Ms. Song, you must be exhausted.

I understand though since you're balancing...

your upcoming wedding and your work.

What do you say? Should I give you the day off?

No, it's all right, sir.

As if. You seem extremely tired.

I should've known better than to promote a package deal...

a few days before your wedding.

I truly apologize for that. I'm sorry.

Don't be, sir. I'm the one who's sorry.

Oh, please. Who cares about...

the company's most important time of the year...

when our intern is getting married. Am I right?

I won't be able to make it to your wedding though...

since I'll be neck-deep in work.

I'm truly sorry, sir!

I'll work twice as hard once I get back.

- Yes? - What's going on with your dress?

The wedding hall called me.

Oh, I forgot. I need to ask Na Hee about it.

Okay, I'll call her right now.

Also, we're meeting the professor who will be officiating,

so make time tomorrow.

Tomorrow? But I still have a lot of work left.

Can't I greet him after the wedding is over?

Da Hee, that professor graduated from the same university...

as the vice-minister.

I need to get on his good side.

Please get a grip on what's important, okay?

All right, I'll make time.

This is why I told you we should push the wedding a bit.

I'm getting a call. Bye.

He always hangs up first.

Please pick up, Na Hee. I really don't have time for this.

(Neulpuleun Children's Hospital)

Are you the one who changed the meds for my patient on the ventilator?

Yes.

Is it something to get this worked up over?

It seems like you want to punch me.

Who do you think you are?

What gives you the right...

Of course, I had my reasons.

What I prescribed is effective and safe.

It has been for 10 years, so what's the big deal?

But it's pricier.

- The father works... - I know.

He works at a construction site in Paju.

If the bill is too steep,

he should ask Administration for any help he can receive.

You know very well...

that swapping medicines could negate our treatment so far.

Isn't it your job to let him know that and persuade him?

You're a doctor,

not a cook who cooks up orders at a fast-food burger joint.

A what?

Are you kidding me?

Is this payback?

Is this because this patient of yours...

requested a different doctor?

Payback?

Gosh, how childish.

What's up? What's this about?

Dr. Song changed my patient's medication without asking first...

to a more expensive one.

I only swapped it back to what is more stable.

The doctor in charge makes the call on medication.

A hospital is an organization and we have rules.

Also, what you say isn't right all the time.

What she prescribed is fine.

It works just as well and it's recommended by the government.

Good work.

Eat up, guys.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

May I sit here, Dr. Yoon Gyu Jin?

It seems you already are, Dr. Song Na Hee.

Eat up.

Take a look at the chart for that young patient.

BP, heart rate, and body temperature are stable.

WBC and CRP are finally in the normal range.

The numbers on the ventilator are also decreasing,

so it seems wiser to keep the patient in the current state.

This is a kid being injected with massive amounts of antibiotics.

Will you take responsibility...

if this leads to the growth of a super bacteria?

Why are you doing this? We're trying to eat here.

You're making us all uncomfortable.

Guys, am I making you uncomfortable?

- No. - Of course not.

Our junior doctors say that I'm not.

They're so uncomfortable that they're leaving.

Guys, are you leaving because of me?

- Of course not. - No way.

Dr. Yoon, I want an answer.

What? Why? Even dogs are allowed to eat in peace.

Am I less than a dog to you?

Guys, just eat. Unbelievable.

The conference venue has been moved...

to the seminar room instead of the auditorium.

Why are these necessary though? We're just going to nod off anyway.

Anyway, what was up with Dr. Song today?

I almost threw up everything I ate earlier.

Talk about being persistent.

You know how weird she is.

She doesn't even know she's an outcast here.

You know how book worms can't take a hint.

Dr. Kang told me that she was like that in school too.

So to wrap up, let's go over what charge density is.

It's the amount of electric charge...

per unit length, surface area, or volume.

How about it? Are you clear on what charge density is?

Okay, I'll see you next time.

Sir!

If the limit value of V is zero,

and the potential of a sphere conductor...

with a 0.15m radius is 1,300V,

what's the conversion of the sphere?

For a splenectomized ITP patient,

what kind of vaccine do you need to administer before discharge?

- You. - Pardon?

One moment, please.

Meningococcus, streptococcus, and Hemophilus influenza.

And I think you forgot this.

What?

We're supposed to hand in reports on postoperative infections.

Oh, right.

Na Hee, you collect the reports.

Okay.

I knew it. The tree is known by its fruit.

She's unbelievable.

But we owe her in a way.

We got the FilmArray...

because Dr. Song kept pestering the hospital director.

I have to admit that she's professional.

And about her prescription earlier,

who else would push ahead with it like that other than her?

I guess you're right about that.

But she's too straightforward.

I just can't get used to her condescending attitude.

With her big eyes,

when she stares at me like this...

Gosh, I can't even imitate it. My eyes hurt.

Who are you talking about?

Who's that condescending person?

Ji Yeon?

I got a call.

- Please excuse me. - I need to go to the bathroom.

I'm coming with you.

What's wrong with them?

Gosh, Ji Yeon.

Why isn't anyone coming?

They say they're doctors,

but they have no sense of punctuality.

(Text message from Da Hee)

Na Hee, can I borrow the dress you wore at the after-party?

It's too long for you. Buy a new one.

She's so cruel.

Is she really my sister?

(Na Hee, can I borrow the dress you wore at the after-party?)

(It's too long for you. Buy a new one.)

What are you doing?

I dropped my pen.

Goodness.

- Take this. - Gosh.

Why are you back so early?

Why not just live in the department store...

until they shut down?

I'm just too timid to do so.

I saw so many pretty things there.

There were pretty dresses and pretty plates.

I want to replace the 20-year-old broken-down fridge...

at our house.

That's enough.

You shouldn't make a habit of going to places like that.

Things in our market are just as good.

I won't go there again even if you ask me to.

My hands trembled as I used your credit card.

I was afraid of being nagged.

By the way, where's Ok Ja?

I don't know. She was here a moment ago.

- Ok Boon. Ok Boon! - Gosh.

Ok Boon, did you hear that?

The owners of the fruit shop and the rice cake shop just fought.

Apparently, the fruit shop owner didn't pay for some rice cakes.

The rice cake shop owner got really mad.

She's feistier than I thought.

There you go again, getting excited over a fight.

Here. Have some dumplings.

Gosh, did you buy them at a department store?

No.

If I eat flour-based food, my face will get puffy.

It's okay. It's still your face even if it's puffy.

No, I can't.

I will keep the swelling down today and get a facelift tomorrow.

I want to have resilient skin at Da Hee's wedding.

But since you bought them for me, I will just eat one.

- Did you buy a lot of stuff? - Yes.

Ga Hee took the stuff for Da Hee. And these are for us.

Oh, right. Take a look at this, honey.

This is your tie.

You can wear it with a suit at the wedding.

Well, the color isn't too bad.

No, go get a refund. This is too expensive.

Just wear it.

You can wear an expensive tie at your daughter's wedding.

My goodness.

The price of this tie comes close to 50 fried chickens.

Chicken supplies are running low with low productivity as it is.

Why would you waste money on stuff like that?

Is your hobby spending money?

Gosh, please don't be like that and just wear the tie.

Just wear it for me.

What's wrong with you? It's creepy. Stop it.

Just go get a refund.

My gosh. Darn it.

And don't sit on that chair.

You sit there all the time, so the cushion is falling in.

Gosh, what's the big deal? How stingy can he get?

My goodness.

Give me my card back.

I need the card to get a refund.

You told me to return the tie.

Gosh, I'm so sick of this. He's not just frugal.

It's not like he will take his money with him when he dies.

Am I supposed to get an allowance at this age?

Can't I even buy things I want?

You know that's just how he is.

By the way, you were like...

"Honey, please don't be like that."

"Just wear the tie."

This is more shocking to me.

My gosh. I had to do it.

It's so hard to live as Song Young Dal's wife.

It's such an extreme job.

If I don't have a good husband, I could at least have good children.

You still have Na Hee, your last hope.

My goodness.

I just ate them all.

I must be out of my mind.

What should I do?

Is my face getting puffy already? Look at my face.

My eyes look smaller, right?

What should I do?

I know. I just hope Da Hee will be...

just as happy...

as Na Hee is. That would be great.

Ms. Sim, Ms. Oh, good work today. See you tomorrow.

- Bye. - See you.

You look great today.

Taxi.

That jerk.

Darn it.

It hurts so bad.

It hit my toe. It really hurts.

That punk.

Hey!

What?

Look at this.

I told you to keep this in a plastic bag.

It rolls around here and there, so I keep stepping on it.

It rolls around because it's round.

You're being unreasonable again.

It was stupid of me to talk to you.

What about you?

Why do you keep picking a fight with me?

Why are you rebelling against me?

Hey, that word is used...

between children and their elders.

Like a student and a teacher or a child and a parent.

Are you my teacher? Are you my mom?

Will you stop pouncing on my words?

You're just making me do so.

You're so good at provoking me.

You keep winding me up.

I've never heard of it.

Who would dare to say that to you?

So are you saying you did the right thing earlier today?

Blatantly siding with Ji Yeon in a situation like that?

Just keep your private and public life separate.

It's not that I sided with her.

We just had the same professional opinion.

You used to have the same opinion as me.

Because my prescription is always right.

My gosh. Are you the Almighty or something?

Forget it. Talking to you is just exhausting.

Go get some rest. That's it for today.

- Gosh. - I'm tired.

She keeps talking back to me.

Gosh, Song Na Hee!

I told you to wrap leftover food in plastic wrap.

You can't keep trotters in the fridge like this.

It's so stiff that you can't even eat it.

And now the whole fridge smells of it.

You can get rid of it then.

How could you say that?

You seem like a perfectionist at the hospital,

but why are you so clumsy when you're home?

What about you?

You pretend to be cool and smart...

at the hospital.

But you nag me and drive me crazy when you are home.

I wonder if people know that.

It's not nagging. I just say what I need to say.

You say what you need to say, and what I say is just nitpicking?

Hey, take a look at this.

What now?

You just washed all the colors in one load again.

They look so pretty, right?

Do you not know that you're supposed to wash them separately?

Can't you do that? Are you colorblind?

What are you doing?

What did you just do? What...

Colorblind people mostly can't see red.

Are you sure you are a doctor, you fool?

(Live in frugality.)

- Mom. - Yes. Why?

Grandma is making dinner.

Why don't you go help her?

What?

Oh, shall I?

I should do that, shouldn't I?

My dear son.

How did I end up with a son like you?

You sweet thing.

Come over! Dinner is ready!

Everyone! Dinner is ready! Come on out!

Father! Joon Seon! Dinner!

It's a small group today.

Seo Jin isn't here and neither is Auntie.

Your aunt is getting some laser treatment tomorrow,

so she went jogging to lose the puffiness.

And Seo Jin is visiting some special kindergarten with her mom.

You should've gone with them.

Seo Jin's mom is busy with work already.

It's not like I know anything. Education is her specialty.

What is your specialty then? Slacking off and doing nothing?

I slack off, Father?

I train or film every day.

I work hard in my own way.

As if you work hard, you fool.

Since we're on the topic, where are this month's expenses?

Darn you.

Darling.

Talk about it later. Not in front of Ji Hun.

It's okay, Grandma.

I'm busy eating and can't hear a thing.

Father.

I read the invoice you sent.

I have a question about it.

You always divided the electric bill by the number of people.

I don't get why I suddenly have to pay more.

Oh, yes, I'm glad you brought that up.

This month's electricity bill was much higher compared to...

the same month last year,

so I found that strange and did some checking.

You use a hot water bed in this nice spring weather.

I live in a cold rooftop room and have no choice.

I know that I'm technically a tenant,

but let me have Da Hee's room when she gets married...

or put in a new heating system or wallpaper the walls,

or if you can't do that, buy bubble wrap for the...

No, sir.

I'll jog a bit before going to sleep.

I say this all the time,

but if you're displeased, move out.

I'll pay you right away, Father.

Parents should only support you until you're married.

What happens afterward is your responsibility.

We may be family, but let's pay the bills fairly.

Okay?

- Yes. - Yes.

Where are you going? Finish your food.

It's fine. I'm done.

He always leaves a few mouthfuls.

It's odd when he scrimps even on toilet paper.

Right? Don't you think that's odd too?

A square of toilet paper and a few grains of rice don't seem like much,

but if you think about it,

it's a great inconsistency of words and action.

He's not wasting food. He just can't finish it.

- Why? - Why? Why can't he eat?

You try smelling cooking oil all day long.

You'd lose your appetite.

Stop talking and call Na Hee.

I couldn't in case she was busy.

You always tiptoe around Na Hee when you abuse us two.

That's true. Mom has favorites.

She always gave Na Hee the tasty side dishes first.

Forget it, you two.

I'll just call her myself.

Hey, Na Hee.

Hi, Mom.

I called to ask what you'll wear to the wedding.

How about you and Ga Hee wear hanbok?

No, it's uncomfortable. I'll wear a suit.

Hey. My gosh, this stinks.

Why not? It would look nice if her older sisters wore hanbok.

No. Why should I be uncomfortable just to look good for others?

Na Hee, I'm against it too. Let's wear something pretty!

Yes, Ga Hee.

Okay, then. Do whatever you want.

It would be so nice if you two dressed up.

No.

Stop right there.

What, Mom?

No, yes.

What did you say, Mom?

No, no.

What, Mom? I'm a bit busy right now.

See you at the wedding in two days. Bye.

Hey, Gyu Jin.

Open the door. Darn you!

What is she doing that she's so out of breath?

She's out of breath? Is she exercising?

She hates to exercise. How out of breath was she?

I don't know.

"Mom. See you at the wedding."

"I'm a bit busy."

Okay. I see. Understand.

What?

Mom! You know what she's doing.

They're still up to it like they're newlyweds.

I'm so jealous.

My goodness. What are you saying? It's too early in the evening.

Who cares what time it is? Don't talk like a novice.

- My gosh. - How cute.

What we meant was...

Joon Seon. Be a man and teach him about the birds and the bees.

Why make me do such a tough thing?

- You do it. You're his mom. - No.

It's fine. I know everything.

I read about it. Women in puberty.

Our Ji Hun is all grown up. He knows.

Oh. He knows.

Kids these days learn early on. Right, Mom?

They're quick.

Oh, no.

Seo Young, you're late. Get out of there.

Hurry up!

I'm still working on my bangs.

Give me just two minutes.

You'll be late for school. Let's go.

It's almost perfect.

Let's go to Grandma's.

Come along.

I'm wearing the wrong socks. Just a moment, Mom!

Song Seo Young! You'll be late!

Can't you get ready just five minutes earlier?

Must I drive at top speed so early in the morning?

Then wake me five minutes earlier.

Do you wake up when I do?

Go straight to your lessons after school.

Don't skip again.

Okay.

You know I get texts when you come and go, right?

You're in middle school now.

You have to master the basics.

Sure, sure.

I put some money in your wallet.

Don't you dare eat ramyeon...

and spend it on celebrity goods.

(Jungang Middle School)

- Get out. - You're so quick. See you.

Smiley, I'm off.

See you.

Let's go inside.

Seo Jin is coming down with something.

Give her this medicine after lunch.

Okay. Don't worry.

Why are you feeling sick and making Grandma worry?

Let's see if you have a fever.

You're fine. You have no fever.

Don't just stand there. Go or you'll be late for work.

I think I'll have to look for another kindergarten.

The special school is too expensive.

Sorry, Mother.

It's fine. Seo Jin is family.

By the way...

Yes?

These days, are you...

Are you seeing someone?

A man? No.

Mother. I'm in no position to date.

I barely have time to work.

Right? That's right, isn't it?

Some woman from the market said she saw you in a man's car.

That will be my team leader.

We sometimes monitor classes together.

That woman is such a gossip.

But Mother, don't get your hopes up.

He and I can't get back together.

Joon Seon has changed a lot now.

He said he'll kill himself before he vouches for another loan.

He wakes early these days...

and works regularly.

He even takes better care of himself.

Mother. You know that I'm grateful to you and Father.

You thought of me first...

and helped me find a new home.

That was because Joon Seon was partially responsible.

But if you make me feel so bad, I won't be able to visit anymore.

You're here.

Hello, Seo Jin.

Hi. Mother, I have to go.

Seo Jin, Mom is leaving.

Eat a hearty meal. Don't just snack.

What's wrong?

You idiot. Did you have to show up right then?

What?

Did you say something to Hyun Gyung again?

Can you not? She comes every day to drop off Seo Jin.

She'll stop if you keep putting pressure on her.

Are you worried about how Hyun Gyung feels?

Could you think of your own mom...

half as much as you care for your ex-wife?

You idiot.

- Don't hit me. - Darn you.

Seo Jin, Grandma is hitting Dad. Call the police.

My goodness. You fool.

Madam, I can't believe you're offering me such a feast.

Thank you very much.

Did you blow on it in case it's hot?

Thank you, sweetie.

When will I get to hear you say "Dad"?

I bet you're holding back to surprise me someday.

"Surprise!" Like that.

I'd love to hear your voice though, Seo Jin.

Could you let me hear it?

- Maybe on our way out. - Hi, there.

- Is it any good? - Just like last time.

- Hi. - Hello.

We should've closed up for the day and finalize the wedding plans.

You're not the one getting married, you know.

All we have to do is attend the event.

The fried chicken don't sell themselves, you know.

- Gosh, you're here. - Hi, guys.

Are you opening up the store today...

when your daughter is getting married tomorrow?

Why would we take the day off?

Unbelievable.

Ok Boon, wait!

Is your future son-in-law...

a level-five civil servant or a lawyer?

A level-five civil servant.

A level-five civil servant?

Gosh, how nice!

You weren't lucky with your kids, but you are with your sons-in-law.

It's nothing to be congratulated on.

Anyway, let me treat you to dinner after the wedding.

It's her son-in-law who's admirable, not her.

Plus, we never said we were congratulating her.

Look at her acting all high and mighty.

You know how she is.

She thinks she should be respected because her husband is...

the president of the traders' association.

Tell me about it.

It's as if she thinks he is the president of a large company.

Meanwhile, she could barely meet our eyes...

when two of her children got divorced.

She's the type that gets on your nerves.

Doesn't it seem...

like she had some procedures done?

I think she smoothed out some wrinkles.

You're right. She did.

The facelift definitely worked.

I'll get a double eyelid surgery too once I save up enough money.

Ok Boon, look.

Which hospital do you think does a better job?

Stop that. Why would you want double eyelids at that age anyway?

I find your eyes adorable.

I can't believe you'd say it that easily.

If my eyes look that great, let me have yours instead.

Shut it and eat up.

Honey, you should eat before getting to work.

Right.

My gosh.

It's odd that the leech hasn't come by yet.

He's normally here by now.

The Yang Chi Su who came by last year

Is here once again alive and well

Of course. I knew you'd come by sometime.

Why are you being so prickly today?

Is it that upsetting to see your niece get married before you?

Have a seat.

Take a seat already. I was just about to call you.

Since both of you insist,

I'll go ahead and enjoy a few bites.

Ok Boon, thank you in advance.

So has the wedding been fully planned?

What's there to plan? It's just a wedding.

Nonsense!

I hear your future in-law is someone of high status.

You're the president of our Traders' Association,

so let the man's family send over decent gifts...

and send back some...

Look at all these flies flying around.

- Unbelievable. - Fine, I get it.

Fine. I'll shut up and just eat.

I'm shutting up. Zip.

This will be fun to watch.

Let's see if you can actually keep your word.

One...

So what time does the wedding ceremony begin?

It's a mild case of pneumonia.

Goodness, hello.

Good day.
