Original subtitles

- Mom. - You idiot.

Mom, talk it out. Don't resort to violence.

That could become a habit!

- How dare you? - Mom.

- What? - What?

- You... - What?

You...

- Mom, we're here. - Mother, we're...

What?

Da Hee. Why are you here?

Na Hee.

Why are you here and what's with the apron?

Na Hee, I was going to tell you...

Your sister...

is working part-time here in the evenings.

- Sorry? - I needed extra help...

and she was looking for a job.

Isn't it nice that we can help each other?

I get to have a reliable employee...

while your sister has a safe place to work.

Hold on a second.

So she's my in-law?

Na Hee's real biological sister?

Would she be a fake sister then?

You met her at the wedding.

We should talk.

But...

Da Hee...

Right!

Now I remember.

You will quit this instant.

What?

Quit working at this cafe.

- Why? - Must you ask?

There are other places to work.

You can keep searching for a job,

so why here of all places?

Don't you see how uncomfortable this is for me?

I'll make sure it doesn't get to that.

I know what you're worried about,

but I'm going to work hard and always stay on her good side.

Na Hee, please. It's close to home and my academy...

and the hourly rate is higher than in other places.

Mom already approved.

Mom approved?

So please just let it slide this once.

I'll do a good job.

You working hard isn't the issue.

I just hate the fact that you're working here.

Things are already...

Just quit, okay?

I'll pay for your classes if you need the money,

so focus solely on your studies instead.

You're really good at kicking me down.

Don't you understand why I'm going back to college at this age...

and working a part-time job to support myself?

It's because I want to succeed without your help or dad's.

I don't want to be a shameless brat.

So just let me work this job, okay?

Please.

Da Hee, but still...

Can you stop glaring at me?

Your eyes look like they're going to pop out.

He's right, Mom.

Let your anger subside now...

and stop glaring at him like that.

Getting all worked up will only elevate your blood pressure.

It's dangerous considering your age.

How sweet of you to think of me.

How considerate!

So why have you been hiding from me...

after returning to Korea?

You're his big brother,

but instead of telling him off,

you joined him on his lie and deceived your mom.

Mom, please. This wasn't deception. You're taking it too far.

He's right. You're overreacting.

I wasn't going to lie to you forever.

I was going to surprise you with my presence...

after enjoying some freedom.

Surprise me? My foot!

You jerks.

Is this what I get for worrying about my sons?

My blood pressure is rising.

Na Hee, you're just as bad.

These two have always been clueless,

but I didn't think you'd deceive me too.

Shouldn't you of all people have told me about him?

Mom, why are you taking it out on her?

Na Hee didn't do anything wrong.

Mother, I apologize for not telling you.

But I think my sister should find another job.

It'll be hard for her to work for an in-law...

and your relationship with my mom...

- will make things uncomfortable. - It doesn't.

I'm fine. It's not uncomfortable.

Sorry?

Your sister has been doing a great job...

and she's nice to the customers,

unlike her own sister.

Your mother already approved too,

so there's nothing more to talk about.

Not telling me about Jae Seok is one thing,

but why don't you ever pick up my calls?

Are you busy every second of the time?

You're not the only doctor in this family.

Both of my sons are doctors too!

You always boast about...

graduating at the top of your class,

but Jae Seok received top grades once.

- Aren't I right? - You are.

- Right? - Yes.

I raised my sons as doctors without any hitches either,

so why do you keep ignoring me?

Are you not going to stop this?

Stop what?

I'm talking about Da Hee.

Things with us are complicated enough.

I don't get why your mother insisted on hiring Da Hee anyway.

It doesn't make any sense!

Since when did you try to understand my mom anyway?

It's nothing new.

I'm not looking for an argument.

We're divorced but our parents don't know.

Doesn't it bother you?

Whatever.

If you're that bothered, talk to my mom yourself.

She's someone I can't persuade.

Are you kidding me?

I'm not kidding you, but what else can I say, right?

You're being childish.

Right, I'm childish...

- and you're selfish. - What?

Our divorce is our problem, right?

Just like you said, our families don't know.

You can't tell Da Hee she can't work there...

just because it makes you uncomfortable.

That's extremely selfish. Da Hee did nothing wrong.

Of course, you're considerate at times like this.

We're never on the same page.

Yes, exactly. No wonder we got divorced.

Yes, I guess you're right.

Me being uncomfortable is my issue,

so I'll deal with that myself.

But your mom is your issue, so you should deal with her.

Okay, got it. What about your mother though?

Don't you think you'll ask me for any favors with her?

I can deal with my mom just fine.

She just thinks she's above everyone.

The truth is,

my marriage was voided on the day of the wedding.

I won't say why because that's privacy.

But then today, I even lost my job.

Don't you think that life is just crazy?

What on earth did I say to my in-law?

How stupid of me.

Why didn't I remember him?

I greeted him at Na Hee's wedding.

Gosh, this is embarrassing!

I blame my useless brain.

Why bother bringing it around with you?

Why? Why?

She was Na Hee's sister?

No wonder she seemed familiar.

Could I be losing my touch?

I never forget a girl's face.

Anyway, what a fun connection. I'm entertained.

My gosh!

Mom, at least knock. Where are your manners?

Manners, my foot. You're unbelievable.

Who are you to speak about manners?

You imbecile.

What do you want to eat?

We can argue some more later,

but you should have some dinner first.

It's all right, Mom. I'm not hungry.

I'm good.

As if you are, you jerk.

Take your pick already. Steak or salmon?

If I had known, I would've gone grocery shopping.

You brat.

I can't believe you're making me cook on the fly like this.

Mom, I'm really good.

I had a sandwich earlier, so I'm not hungry.

Shut it. As if a sandwich can keep you full.

Anyway, get changed. I'll whip something up.

I'll now be cooking for my grown-up son at this age.

What a hard time I'll have.

My goodness. Unbelievable.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Looking good.

Where's the frying pan?

I put it all the way up there since I never use it.

Jae Seok, can you get over here? I need your help.

Jae Seok?

Please get that frying pan for me.

All right. So the meat is out...

and now for the balsamic sauce.

I'm glad I had it restocked.

My gosh.

Jae Seok, please open this for me!

My goodness.

Please open this for me.

Thank you.

Jae Seok?

It's nothing.

My gosh.

Jae Seok. Jae Seok, pass me the paper towel.

Gosh, thanks.

Jae Seok?

Jae Seok!

- No, I hear nothing. - Jae Seok!

Why didn't you answer me? I've been calling you.

Yes, Mother. You called?

Can you open the wine bottle for me?

I should've poured the wine in a decanter sooner.

I'm already regretting moving back in.

What on earth do I do?

It's like I'm cooking the meal myself.

He should be home by now.

I wonder how much he drank.

(Not on my side)

The person you called is unavailable.

Why isn't he answering his phone?

Yes, Mr. Yang.

Are you perhaps with my husband?

You parted ways?

I guess he'll be home soon then. Sure. Goodnight.

- My gosh. Honey! - Hello?

My wife!

You'll fall. Be careful.

Why did you drink so much today?

Yes, I drank today. I drank a lot.

Ok Boon!

My gosh.

You saying that shows me...

just how drunk you are.

Ok Boon, there's no need to be angry.

How scary.

Goodness.

Unbelievable.

How was it?

It went really well.

I don't get why you always insist on going there yourself.

Let me join you next year.

I may not have met my sister-in-law, but I should at least say hello.

What if she thinks that you married...

some selfish woman?

What? No way!

My Young Suk is the sweetest ever, so she'd never think that way.

It's why she put her trust in me and went to a dangerous place.

Honey, please.

Ok Boon,

I'm a little sad today.

Life couldn't be sadder.

Why have you aged so much though?

Who did this? Who made my wife age like this?

Who else could it be but you?

Get out here!

- Who was it? - Honey, be quiet!

Just wait until I catch you.

Whoever it was, show yourself!

- Honey, keep it down. - Get out here!

Dad. Why did he drink so much?

He had a few drinks with Mr. Yang.

- Hurry up and take him. - Of course.

Dad, are you all right?

Loafer 1 and Loafer 2.

I see you're fine.

Son, life is hard, isn't it?

How about I give you an allowance?

Dad, it's okay.

You'll only take it back tomorrow anyway.

Don't be like that. I'm not kidding.

I promise I won't take it back.

Gosh.

Hold on. How much should I give you?

Here you go.

Wait a second.

There you go.

Wait, 100 dollars each?

Is this for real?

Why? Isn't it enough? Do you want more?

Hold on a second then.

Here. Take as much as you need!

- Dad, it's all right. - Take it all.

It's fine.

Honestly, it's fine.

Dad, isn't this a bit too much?

You're closing up the bar?

- Really? - Really?

Of course. I wouldn't joke about this.

- But this is too sudden. - Are you getting married?

My gosh. I wouldn't mind you setting me up with someone.

It's just too sudden, that's all.

Are you ill then?

I'm just sick and tired of running a bar.

Dealing with drunk jerks is annoying enough.

And the smell of alcohol is sickening.

Trying to sound cute all the time is exhausting too.

I'm thinking about moving on to another business.

Something more ordinary.

What about us then?

You two? You should go about your own ways.

Don't you worry though.

I'll give you a good reference if you need one...

and pay up a fat pension...

if you wish to retire and head back home.

No way.

I'd rather stick with you.

But you don't know what I'll end up doing.

Just go on your way.

I will pay your money back once I get the security deposit.

I don't want to. I'll come with you no matter what.

- So don't even try to send me away. - Me too.

- What? - I'm coming with you too.

Wherever you go, I'll be there.

Don't be silly.

There's nothing you can get from me.

That's not true.

You pay us, feed us,

and even care about us. We get everything from you.

So don't even think about abandoning us.

I'll follow you to the ends of the earth.

Gosh, you fools.

Do as you like.

Just remember I gave you a chance to get away.

Don't blame me later.

So what are you going to do?

Will you open a supermarket or something?

No, kimbap.

- Kimbap? - My goodness.

I want to run a kimbap restaurant.

If I run a restaurant, I will never starve to death.

And you guys said...

I make the best kimbap.

You said it is even better than a franchise restaurant's.

Oh, right.

Kimbap.

Maybe I should make kimbap with this corn.

It's corn kimbap.

What should we do?

Don't you think we should be honest with her?

Her kimbap tastes terrible.

We can't say that to her.

And it's you who said her kimbap tastes terrible.

You... Gosh, I can't believe this.

Why are things going this way?

Hey, make sure to hold out to the end this time.

Just worry about yourself.

He's coming.

- That feels good. - Did you shower already?

Gosh, you're amazing.

Sure. He's even stronger than a stuntman like me.

- Bring it back. - What?

Bring what?

The one who brings it first will get 30 dollars.

- Here, Dad. - Okay.

Gosh.

Hey, hand it over.

- Here. - Okay.

What?

Isn't there 100 dollars missing?

Who is it? Hand it over.

- It's not me. - It's not me either.

Do you want me to search you?

Do you want me to search you while you do handstands?

Seriously, it's not me.

I swear I didn't take it.

I swear on Seo Jin.

What are you guys doing early in the morning?

Once you give them money, it's a done deal.

Just go have breakfast.

Hey, go wake Ji Hun up.

And you should put the soup on the table.

- Okay. - Okay.

Hang on. Just wait.

I'm sure 100 dollars is missing.

I'm going to find out.

If you want to eat, go buy some instant rice.

I made the steamed egg,

but your mom made this kimchi and stir-fried anchovies.

Don't act like you care.

Forget it.

Kimchi and stir-fried anchovies?

I just blew myself up.

Fine. Take it all. I can eat only with the egg.

Darn it. What's wrong with this?

Is it broken?

Darn it! What's wrong?

Was she really top of her class at medical school?

Isn't she a fool?

Mom. I was going to call you.

About Da Hee.

Will you let her work at my mother-in-law's cafe?

What can I do? They already agreed on it.

But it's so uncomfortable.

You know what she's like.

Just leave her be. She won't be working there for long.

By the way, we're buying new chickens today,

so I'm thinking about making chicken soup.

You should stop by with Gyu Jin after work.

I can't. We're busy preparing for a conference.

Are you? Then I'll bring it to your house.

You can eat it after work.

Gosh, no. I'll stop by.

Why? You said you're busy.

I should eat anyway.

You don't have to come. I'll go there.

Will you? That's better for me.

Then why don't you stop by the store on your way here?

I should boil 10 chickens. They are quite heavy.

I want to take them home in your car.

Okay. I'll do that. I'll see you later then.

Bye.

Why does it have to be now?

I guaranteed him that I could handle my mom.

Darn it.

What should I tell him?

Gyu Jin, I'm so tired.

I have bags under my eyes already.

Look. Can you see them?

I just can't live like this.

She keeps calling me for no reason. "Jae Seok".

And then again the next moment, "Jae Seok".

I feel like I'm hearing things.

Stop overreacting. It's not like this is anything new.

It's been a long time, so I just can't get used to it.

Jae Seok, what time do you get off?

It's Mom again.

She keeps messaging me. Look.

"Are you having dinner at home?"

"I have yellow corvina. Do you want it steamed or grilled?"

This is a nightmare. What should I do?

Should I just go back to Turkey?

Hey, getting used to Mom would be easier...

- than living abroad. - Gyu Jin.

You're just saying that because it's not your business.

Whose fault do you think this is?

This is all because I was covering for you and Na Hee.

What should I do then? Do you want me to come clean...

and move back in with Mom too?

- Can't you do that? - Do you think that would work?

What should I do then?

Mom is even more tiring now.

Yes?

Are you two having coffee together?

Not really. I was just grumbling and whining.

I'll join you and hear you grumble next time.

But right now, we need to plan a strategy.

A strategy?

What more do you need to plan now?

You're being so talkative. Did you not hear her?

She wants you to leave.

- Get out. - Don't be mean.

I'm very sensitive now because of Mom.

Na Hee, don't call me even if you have no one to eat with today.

I'll be very cranky all day.

Move over.

Gosh.

All right. What's the matter? Go ahead and say it.

Well...

Today,

I think I should go home.

Home?

Whose home?

You know what I mean.

My home. Mr. Song Young Dal's house.

Mom told us to come and eat chicken soup.

If we don't go, she will come to our place.

So I told her we'd go there.

I see.

You said you could handle things.

She asked us to stop by at the store and take the chickens.

Make sure to leave on time.

Hey, make note of this.

You have to go to my mom once too.

How shameless.

How could she change her words just like that?

My gosh.

Goodness.

- What's going on? - What should we do?

My goodness.

Get off me.

Where did they go?

- My goodness. - They just ran away.

I can't believe this is happening.

- What? - I know.

She and I chatted away on the street just yesterday.

But they just ran away overnight?

What's the matter? What happened?

They ran away with the lodge money.

- My gosh. - Hey.

What's wrong?

- Wake up. - Hurry.

- Please hurry. - Call 911.

Really?

Did they run away with all the lodge money?

Yes.

The lodge money and borrowed money.

They even borrowed 10,000 dollars from the shoe store...

promising they'd pay 20 percent of interests.

The shoe store owner turned deadly pale.

Gosh, it's so scary.

A few days ago, she asked me for money offering 20 percent interest,

but I turned it down saying my savings had not matured.

What if I gave her my money?

I'm so lucky.

My goodness. People are really scary.

How could she do that with such a nice face?

Everybody who opened a store there has moved out within a year.

Is it a bad site?

I guess you're right.

Before the dumpling restaurant,

there was a fire in the rice soup restaurant.

Fire!

Fire!

And the owner of the dollar store died of a heart attack.

I guess the place is cursed or something.

Hey, Ok Ja. There you go again.

Think about it.

Something keeps happening in that place while others are fine.

Don't say things like that.

Try to think if the dumpling store owner borrowed money from you.

You might regret it later.

Gosh, I don't have any money to lend others.

When you come home drunk,

I just pocket 50 or 100 dollars...

I knew it.

It was you.

- What? - My 100 dollars.

It's you who took the money.

My gosh, what are you talking about?

I didn't take your money. I'm innocent.

Hang on. Onions, I must pay for them.

I have to go out. See you later.

Hey, hey! Gosh, that woman...

They say the thief is always right under your nose.

You're so weird.

You never waste a single cent,

so why do you hand out cash when you're drunk?

Shall I get you drunk and make you give me an allowance?

Count the chickens.

Count the small and large ones separately.

Okay.

The landlady must be so frustrated.

I don't believe this.

I knew something was up when she missed the rent for three months.

It's not like fraudsters have a sign on their forehead.

And I'm not a psychic.

Enough of that nonsense.

I want my rent, so find a tenant soon.

Quickly.

How about you offer to rent it below the market rate?

You really know how to upset me.

Bite it off. Bite it off.

That's enough. Bite it off!

How dare you?

Can I have some broth?

Hey.

You can't just sip the broth without taking a noodle.

Don't you...

You ate more than half.

Jong Soo. We may have no money,

but let's keep our pride.

I'm always hungry, however much I eat.

I couldn't stop myself.

I'll try not to eat any noodles.

Jeong Bong! Jong Soo!

- Joon Seon! - You're here.

Why are you eating cup noodles? You should eat some rice.

No, Joon Seon.

We ate earlier. This is a snack.

Right, Jong Soo?

That's right.

Do you want some broth?

Do you get some sleep?

Honestly, Joon Seon. The room is warm all day long,

and there's unlimited hot water.

It's a hundred times better than Action Art's dorm.

Don't you worry, Joon Seon.

No? You can't spare anything?

I understand. I just asked.

I'm just fine,

but the guys need a job.

Hey, Sang Gi. Your office...

Darn this stupid...

No, not you.

How much did it cost to open up your business?

With the rent and equipment and everything.

40,000 dollars?

That's a lot. Your office isn't that big.

Where would I get 40,000 dollars?

I just have a plastic bag.

Okay, thanks anyway. Bye.

Hello...

there.

Hello, Ms. Song.

Hello. How are you, Mr. Yoon?

Where's the boss?

She went upstairs to get changed.

Oh, okay.

So, were you very surprised yesterday?

I was so surprised myself. No wonder you looked familiar.

At the cart bar and the hotel...

Anyway.

I had no idea it was you.

Pardon? What do you mean? What cart bar?

You don't remember?

Two days ago at the beer joint.

You drank a whole pitcher,

and at the cart bar with me,

you got drunk and vented at me.

That's not true. I didn't drink two days ago.

I think you're mistaken.

Don't say that.

However drunk you were, you must remember me.

I'm the type that shows up in your dreams once we meet.

Hello? Ms. Song? Hello?

I did all sorts of things for you that evening.

I imparted wisdom that I'd accumulated...

and offered heartfelt encouragement.

I even offered monetary support!

That really wasn't me.

Did you confuse me with someone else?

I have such a common face.

And I'm so terribly shy.

I don't drink alone with a guy I just happened to meet.

I didn't say it was just us. I said we drank together.

What?

Whether there were 2 or 3 of us is not important.

Because it wasn't me.

Oh... Right...

Jae Seok. What are you doing here?

Why not go home if you got off work?

Oh, well, that was because I knew you'd be here.

That's great. Let's go to the department store.

You need new bed linen and your desk lamp is too old.

We can have dinner there too.

Well, I'm so tired.

Can we go on the weekend, Mother?

Just come with me now.

Let's shop when the idea came up.

Let's go. Come with me. Let's go now.

Mom. But I...

Da Hee, clean up and close up.

- See you tomorrow. - Bye.

- Let's go. - Mom, wait.

We're leaving now.

You, the cart bar.

Mom, wait.

How can someone be such a terrible liar?

She practically broadcast that she's bluffing.

Will you hurry up? Why is someone so young so slow?

Mom.

Can't we cut it short and go home?

Bed linen is all the same.

No. You start and end your day in your bed.

You can't buy just anything.

Those small details determine your quality of life.

Let's hurry. There's no time.

We're only halfway through.

Come along.

I'm a slave, not a son.

Mom.

Welcome, Gyu Jin.

- Mother! Mother. - Gyu Jin.

I didn't eat all day just so I could eat your chicken.

Did you really? Good for you.

Today's chickens are so fat.

Have one each and recharge.

Is it because you deal with kids all day long?

You both look so haggard.

Are the chickens inside?

Let's get them quick. I'm hungry.

- Okay. - Well...

- Wait, wait. - What?

Hey there. You know them, don't you?

My son-in-law, the pediatrician.

Oh, hello.

Hello. Na Hee, it's been a while since I saw you.

The shoe seller is in the hospital. Shouldn't we visit her?

Hey, Jin Ju, don't you know my son-in-law?

My daughter and the pediatrician.

- Hello. - Yes, hi.

The great son-in-law and clever daughter are here.

He's not that great. There are so many doctors nowadays.

Still, they say it's nice to have a doctor and lawyer in the family.

It's a great help when you're sick.

Sure.

Let's go in. Dad's inside.

- Okay. Bye. - Go on inside.

- Bye. - See you.

She's such a show-off.

You'd think that she's the doctor.

Let her be. What else does she have to brag about...

than that daughter and her husband?

But still,

I'm kind of jealous.

Just a bit.

Really? Your brother is home?

That's great. Your mom must be pleased.

Yes, she's very pleased. She gets quite lonely.

She does. She was like that even in school.

She was. I'd never seen someone so fussy.

Was it when I was eight? I still remember.

She had her hair braided into two pigtails,

and a book of poems...

under her arm either for show or to actually read.

She walked around the neighborhood like that just to show off.

She was given this nickname...

Oh, dear.

What did I just say? That she showed off?

My goodness. I take it back. Gyu Jin, I take it back.

I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.

Please do.

You're so considerate. You're a good man.

Thank you.

I think a small bone got stuck in my throat.

You should be very careful with chicken bones.

They're hard to get out if they're stuck.

Okay, Dad.

Why isn't Joon Seon home?

He jumps out of bed for boiled chicken.

He wouldn't miss this feast.

Kid. Does it taste good?

My Seo Jin loves that ice cream too.

I miss Seo Jin and Seo Young.

Don't you miss your dad?

Mom!

Yes? What's wrong?

That's my cue to leave.

Na Hee, wait up!

I packed one more for you to take home.

You can make porridge with the leftovers.

It's fine, Mom.

Let me take that. Thank you so much.

It's still quite hot, so let me carry it.

Here you go.

Mother, let me carry it instead.

Na Hee.

What's wrong? Did you and Gyu Jin argue?

- What do you mean? - You know what I mean.

You were practically shooting lasers at him.

What was the argument about? Your temper was the issue, right?

Of course not.

I don't let my temper flare up for no reason.

I'm very rational, you know.

Right. Of course, you are.

Anyway, be nice to him.

There aren't many guys...

who are this cooperative when it comes to their in-laws.

Cooperative?

Only those who don't know Gyu Jin say that.

What?

I'm just saying. Anyway, I'll get going.

Take care then!

- Are you good? - Yes.

This is enough to feed us for three days.

Gosh, thank you so much.

It's nothing. You must be tired, so get going.

Thank you for enjoying the meal today.

Cooking food is harder than eating it.

Thank you so much, Mother.

I'm the one who should be grateful.

Na Hee is not the most diligent person around the house, right?

Don't I know it. All she did was study all the time,

so I never got the chance to teach her anything.

But you understand all that and make up for what she lacks.

We're not married, remember?

Hey. Just wait!

Must she be this cruel especially with food?
