(Episode 16)

I tried doing something fancy to my hair,

but I don't think I did a good job.

Maybe I should've stopped by the salon.

You're beautiful, Ms. Jang.

So what's gotten into you today?

Did something happen at work?

Like what exactly?

I just wanted to get something nice to eat with you...

and talk about a few things.

Gyu Jin will be uncomfortable without his car today though.

I'm sure he took a cab. He'll be fine for a day.

That's not true for someone who drives every day.

This is why you should've bought a car too.

No way. It won't be good for my already bad temper.

You say that like there's a problem with you.

I hate when people don't follow the rules...

and I step on the brakes when I get too angry...

He didn't even signal, that son of a gun.

I get it now. Let's only have Gyu Jin drive.

What?

Wasn't that hilarious?

Gosh this is so pretty.

- Look at the seagull. - Where?

This is amazing.

- It is. - How nice.

I haven't been to the beach in a while.

I'll walk over there.

Sure. Mom, watch your step, okay?

Na Hee!

Gosh, it's good.

After all that fuss, this is where you wanted to come?

This acorn jelly place?

I didn't know a better restaurant.

The story is the same for when I dated your father.

All we did was eat buns at a local bakery.

This is the one special place we came to on a date.

We were on our way back...

from telling my parents that we were getting married.

Have you ever regretted...

your life with Dad?

Of course I have. More than a hundred times.

Still, the man grew on me.

And thanks to marrying your father,

I was able to give birth...

to such a sweet and devoted daughter.

Gosh, Mom. I haven't done much for you.

This is more than enough!

I feel like I'm on cloud nine, you know.

Then enjoy the dish. I'll take you out more often.

Actually,

once a year would be more than enough.

It'll definitely give me some air to breathe.

So, Mom...

Hold on a second.

Doesn't Gyu Jin love acorn jelly?

He gobbled it down the last time I made it for him.

I guess...

Wait a second.

- Ma'am. - Yes?

Can we get a bowl of acorn jelly salad to go?

Mom, there's no need for that.

Take it home for Gyu Jin.

He seemed gaunt the other day...

which has been horrible for his handsome face.

Is it because you don't cook for him often?

I was embarrassed, you know.

He eats fine, Mom.

He only seems gaunt because work has been stressful.

I'm just saying that you should be more attentive.

Gosh, Gyu Jin would love this.

He enjoys everything he eats, doesn't he?

I remember how he enjoyed this acorn jelly too.

Have some as well.

Please have a seat, everyone.

So the ladies want three things.

One, change your sign out front.

Two, no attracting customers.

Three, appropriate attire.

Will you accept those conditions?

Right.

I'll change my sign out front as soon as possible...

and refrain from attracting customers on the street.

But the clothes and makeup...

Okay, fine. I can change what I wear.

But I can't give up my hairstyle.

Just like you...

pray underneath the talisman...

for a successful day of sale every day,

we go to the salon every morning...

to get ourselves ready for what's to come that day.

Our hairstyle is our talisman and our symbol.

This I can't give up.

Okay, sure. Your clothes were the real issue anyway.

I didn't really care about your hair either.

Okay, then. So we've come to an agreement.

Do you now approve...

of Unnie's Kimbap joining the merchant association?

What you say here is final.

- Sure thing. - I'm good.

Then go ahead and shake hands...

to show that you've made peace.

What? That is hardly necessary.

You do it instead, Young Dal.

You just never can be generous, can you?

Okay, fine. Young Dal, go ahead.

Sure thing.

I know we clashed at first,

but let bygones be bygones and move forward from here.

Welcome to our market.

- Sure. Thanks. - Good.

- Let's applaud. - All right.

I doubt the girls have anything long to wear.

Must we go shopping?

How annoying!

I'm only taking a step back so I can take two steps forward.

We'll see who gets the last laugh, ladies.

Ma'am!

- Goodness. - You're here.

What did you bring today?

Shepherd's purse and things like that.

The spinach last time was delicious.

Thank you for enjoying it.

Let me drag this for you.

Guys, why weren't you picking up?

Jong Soo, what's wrong?

Are you sick? Talk to me.

I woke up today...

but my body was aching all over and I couldn't move.

Then you should've gone to see a doctor.

Where's Jeong Bong?

Jeong Bong...

What's wrong with you?

Joon Seon, it's the mold.

I'm allergic to it, you know.

This place is too damp...

and I can't live here.

Can you scratch my back for me?

Unbelievable.

Come on in.

Are you sure we can stay here?

It'll be uncomfortable to share the space with us.

Don't sweat it. When did that ever worry me?

As you can see, it was cheaper to let it rot...

rather than fix it up for a rental.

The ceiling leaks sometimes and the toilet gets clogged,

but it'll be better here.

Thanks, Joon Seon. This place is like a hotel to us.

Thank you so much, Joon Seon!

Keep your voice down.

Guys, listen up.

Just so you know,

I'm not exactly the most welcomed person in the family.

Rather than a son, they see me as a tenant.

So would they be happy to know that I've brought in...

two more people?

No, they wouldn't.

- They'd hate it. - Right?

So you must stay silent and be almost like ghosts.

- Do you understand? - I do.

- What did I mean? - What?

What did he mean?

Could you repeat that?

So in short, you two will now...

be ghosts in this house.

Until I get us a deal for a new place,

you'll practice being invisible.

- What did I say? - Be invisible.

That's right. You can probably tell this by the wallpaper,

but this is an old house, so the walls are thin.

My mom may not be an issue,

but my dad is someone you need to watch out for.

He's a dangerous man.

If you get caught, he'll kick me out too.

He might even kill me.

He sleeps lightly too.

- Do you get me? - Yes, we get you.

- I'll be careful. - Good.

- Seriously? - Sorry, it was my dumbbells.

Gosh.

I thought that nothing scared the woman,

so hearing her talk about her hair was a bit of a surprise.

I did feel bad for her in a way.

Don't be ridiculous.

- No one told her to stick it out. - Exactly.

Anyway, we got what we wanted.

Gosh, that feels great.

Hello, ladies.

- Hi, Ms. Jang. - Hi, Yun Jeong.

Sorry, Ms. Choi.

You must be here to shop for groceries.

It's good to see you, Ms. Choi.

It's been a while. Has business been well?

Yes, of course!

So is Ok Boon at the store?

No, Na Hee took her out on a date.

They're on Ganghwa Island.

A date?

I'm having dinner with my son this evening too.

My second son has come back from Turkey.

I see.

Then...

Have a good day then.

Why does she always greet people like that?

She never bows her head.

She owns a building, remember?

I guess she believes she's too classy for us.

Fundamentally, we're all human beings though.

She's always been a jerk.

Even since high school, she'd glance at others like that.

It's an illness if you ask me.

My gosh.

She never wants to have a meal with me,

but she goes off on a date with her mom? Unbelievable.

You're back, Ms. Choi.

Please let me take that.

It's fascinating how two sisters can be so different.

Why did you buy so much today?

I'm grilling some steak today. It's a special day,

so I was hoping to enjoy it with my son...

accompanied by a glass of wine.

That'd be nice.

I wonder when he'll get here though.

Son, when will you be home this evening?

Mom, I'm going to be a bit late today.

An implant procedure has been scheduled.

What?

You promised to have dinner with me today!

Did I? When?

I guess that's what you said, but I didn't hear it.

Do you have a death wish? Come home right after the surgery.

I don't want to eat alone tonight.

What did you say? I can't hear you. What?

Mom? I'm busy. I have to go.

I'm sorry, Mom. I love you.

Hey. Well...

Jae Seok!

Gosh. That jerk.

Ms. Choi.

I like steak.

Why did you lie to her?

Your afternoon schedule is empty, so you're just slaking off.

Mom wants to have dinner with me.

I don't want to be alone with Mom anymore, Gyu Jin.

So?

What are you going to do with the TV show?

Gosh, I don't know. I'm still thinking.

Why is everything so tough for you?

What are you thinking about, Dr. Yoon?

Hi, Bo Young.

You looked so lonely from the back, so I wondered who it was.

Why? Are you worried about something?

No, I'm not worried.

I guess you are.

You never could hide your feelings.

What's wrong?

I just have a lot on my mind.

I'm not sure if I made the right choice.

Life is a series of choices.

And it's not so bad to make a wrong choice from time to time.

It makes you feel confident about your next choice.

You think?

Yes. So don't lose sleep over it...

and just go ahead with your choice.

- What? - You haven't changed at all.

You used to give me a lot of advice.

Gosh, you're quite nosy.

What? How dare you say that?

It doesn't hurt at all.

Don't tease me.

Have some bread.

Okay. This place is so nice.

And the coffee smells great.

The coffee is really good.

Ga Hee is going to cook dinner, right?

If she can't, she will at least order some Chinese food.

Sure. She has a son. She wouldn't let him skip a meal.

Don't worry. Why worry about their dinner here?

I know. This is my problem.

All right. I don't care if they skip a meal or not.

I'm on strike today.

I'm so lucky today.

Then do you want to live with me like this?

You can travel around with me every weekend...

and eat lots of delicious food.

It's okay. You have your family. I know that's not easy.

This is good enough for me.

Mom. The thing is...

Gosh.

When Gyu Jin came to my place the other day, he was thirsty.

So I told him to drink juice in the fridge.

That day, I got...

some red pepper oil in a juice bottle from the mill.

He just drank it up.

He kept gasping out and his eyes turned red.

It was hilarious.

Why do you keep talking about Gyu Jin?

You've been talking about nothing but him all day.

That's because he is my one and only son-in-law.

Gosh.

Are you jealous of him?

You know what?

Sometimes Gyu Jin is very reliable,

and sometimes he's like a little kid.

Unlike Yun Jeong, he's just lovely.

Oh, right. We should call Gyu Jin.

I wonder if he's doing well without his car.

It's okay. I'll call him later.

I need to go to the restroom.

You should tell her.

You have to tell her, Na Hee.

Gosh, what should I do?

What a waste. This is terrible.

My goodness.

Mom, what's that? What happened?

I tried to stand up and get some water,

but I accidentally knocked it away.

Do you think I can pick up the pieces on the top?

You can't eat this. Just get up. It might ruin your clothes.

I can't believe this. It was for Gyu Jin.

Gyu Jin loves acorn jelly.

I'm so stupid. I should've been careful.

I didn't even check if it was sealed.

Is it too far to go back there and buy it again?

My goodness.

What a waste. I feel so terrible.

My gosh.

This is really upsetting.

This was for Gyu Jin.

(Ttobongee Chicken)

This is Mr. Song Young Dal. And this is Ms. Jang.

Mr. Song's wife is not here today. You'll meet her tomorrow.

Ms. Jang, will you stop drooling?

Welcome. Nice to meet you. What's your name?

I'm Park Hyo Sin. Nice to meet you.

I'm glad you're here. I hope we get along.

By the way, you're so handsome.

You have a creamy complexion.

We don't even need a light in the store.

I don't even smell the hot oil anymore.

Thank you.

You need to know the neighborhood to deliver chickens.

You might have a hard time for the time being.

No, I know this neighborhood.

My friend lives around here.

Dad, I brought pepper powder.

The owner wasn't there, so I waited for a long time.

- You're here. - Long time no see.

Well...

We will start doing deliveries.

He's the deliveryman.

This is Mr. Song's oldest daughter.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Did you bring your driver's license and insurance certificate?

Yes. Here.

Let me see.

It's so good to see you.

This is the working environment I've always wanted.

Women care so much about men's looks.

It's not just men who like beautiful women.

Will you move over? I can't see him.

- My goodness. - Move over.

Gosh, I'm still upset about the acorn jelly.

Why could I drop it like that?

This just won't do.

I should come again with Gyu Jin next time.

I won't be satisfied until I see him eat the acorn jelly.

I guess the traffic is bad on weekends.

Right?

Na Hee, why are you being so quiet?

Are you sleepy?

No.

You shouldn't doze off while driving.

Here. Open your mouth.

Mom. You should wear gloves when you fry chicken.

Look at your hands.

It's okay. I'm used to it.

Make sure to use ointment. It might leave a scar.

Okay. I will.

I wish every day was like today.

I'm so happy.

This looks amazing, Ms. Choi. It's like I'm in a restaurant.

Try it. It doesn't taste bad either.

With some wine.

This is crazy.

It's so delicious.

It's so tender than I don't have to chew it.

You're so good at cooking.

That's not true. I just used good meat.

You should try some. Here.

It's good.

Wait.

That's against the rule. You can't drink alone.

How old did you say you were?

I'm 28.

What a great age.

If I were born now,

I'd have done everything I wanted.

In my time, marrying well and having kids...

was a woman's standard of happiness.

It all means nothing.

It doesn't mean nothing.

You raised both sons to be doctors.

What's the point in that?

They think they did it themselves.

I suffered to raise them,

and now they ignore me to enjoy their own lives.

Today is a rough day for me, and I feel sentimental.

It's the anniversary of my first date with my husband.

Oh, dear. I can't believe I said that.

You should eat and close the cafe.

- Let's eat. - Yes, ma'am.

The steak is really amazing.

Did I eat too much?

What are you doing?

I was going to pass by,

but I came in to ask.

Ms. Song. How could you betray me at that moment?

Do you know how long I suffered because of you?

I don't know and I have to close up.

Why don't you spend time with your mother instead?

What? You're changing the topic again?

No. We need to talk this out today.

Must you make me feel so uncomfortable?

What did I do that's so wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong.

So go and check on your mother.

Why do you keep mentioning my mom?

She's not a baby!

There's a reason for all this, so just go upstairs.

- Get out of here. - Wait, Ms. Song.

- Get out already. - Why are you so strong?

- Wait, wait. - Get out! My gosh.

Mr. Yoon.

Ms. Song.

Oh, dear. It looks very swollen.

I'm so sorry.

Shouldn't you go to a hospital?

I work at a hospital.

I'll get an x-ray as soon as I get there,

and ask for an estimate.

I'll get some painkillers and pain relief patches for now.

No, sit back down.

Forget the pain relief patches.

- Are you really sorry? - Of course I am.

I feel so bad I want to die.

Then including treatment and pain relief patches,

- buy me something else. - Something else?

Okay. What?

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

How can you want alcohol instead of pain relief patches?

It's not just alcohol. It's a reconciliation drink.

I feel bad for what I did to you, and vice versa.

Let's drink this and call it even. Okay?

Okay.

I'm a bit cheeky and on the naughty side,

so I sometimes cross the line.

Even more so with people who I think I clicked with.

I'm truly sorry.

Don't be. I was small-minded.

I let my inferiority complex control me.

It's fine.

We both feel bad, so let's not talk about that again.

- Here. Cheers. - Cheers.

Let's eat.

Order more food. I'll eat 64 dollars' worth.

Oh, come on!

Eat up quickly and comfort your mother.

She said it's a special day for her.

It's the first day she met your late father.

She was so lonely.

I ate with her in your place.

That's why she said...

She should've just said so.

Moms get upset by the smallest of things the older they get.

So care a bit more for her from now on.

She likes flowers,

so you can surprise her with a bouquet delivered.

I'm glad you were there for her.

I hope you work at her cafe for a long time.

I will only for a few months until my transfer exam.

Are you studying to transfer?

Yes.

I'd like to study what I'd always wanted to.

- Though it's a bit late. - It's not late.

You can study at any age.

That's cool. You're amazing.

I thought you were timid.

Where did you get the guts?

I don't know. I found them.

I feel a little proud of myself these days.

Do you study during the day?

It's so hard having to study after years of not doing it.

I can manage English somehow, but math...

I was dreadful even in high school.

We share the same parents,

so why am I so dumb?

Na Hee's best subject was math.

Do you know...

who did better in math than she?

Who?

It's me.

Ask me if you're stuck.

I bet I'm better than any tutor in Daechi-dong.

I'd be grateful for the help.

I'll really take you up on the offer.

You should. No problem.

- I even speak English. - Oh, stop it.

How about we have another drink?

Let's get along from now on, Ms. Song.

Yes, let's do that.

Can you really manage alone?

Shall I help you?

No, I live across the street. I'll take my time.

It's late. Go on home.

Go on. Go.

Put some ice on it later.

And see a doctor about it tomorrow.

I will. How many times will you say that?

Go on home. Go.

- Go home. Go. - Goodbye.

Why is she so late?

(Director Jang)

Darn it.

You're home.

Did you tell your mother?

Did you tell her?

Don't take it. I'll be the director.

He just called me.

Hello, Director Jang.

I'll do it.

We'll go on TV.

Flower delivery.

- Ms. Choi Yun Jeong? - Yes, that's me.

These are for you.

- Sign here, please. - Okay.

Who sent it?

It says Mr. Yoon Jae Seok.

My gosh.

It must be from your son.

How many flowers are there?

It's beautiful. You must be so pleased, Ms. Choi.

Have a nice day.

Thank you.

Why did he send me flowers?

He can be so cheeky.

My dear son.

Thank you so much for agreeing to be on the show.

Especially Dr. Yoon Gyu Jin and Dr. Song Na Hee.

I heard a lot about you.

You refused at first.

We had some private issues that...

I must make this clear.

We won't be on for long. It's just for two months.

Yes. Two months.

I was told about that too. Don't worry.

Does this mean...

the panel of doctors is just us four?

No. There's an orthopedics specialist as well.

- He'll be here soon. - Orthopedics?

Dr. Lee's here.

Hello.

I must be the last to arrive. I meant to hurry.

Jeong Rok.

- It's been a while, Gyu Jin. - Yes.

It's even nicer to see you.

Crazy Song Na Hee.

Hello, Jeong Rok.

(Once Again)

I have another question to ask.

Gosh, Na Hee. You haven't changed at all.

- My gosh, are you all right? - Seriously?

You'll make up for this.

What?

Hold on a second. You're the one who knocked the cup,

so why should she pay for anything?

Guys, come on down. No one's home.

Who are you people?

Ga Hee, you're home.

I was wondering if you let others borrow your husband too.

Gyu Jin!

I lied to you about something.
