(Episode 22)

Here comes the soup!

Is this how it'll be from now on?

Will we have to gather around to eat breakfast?

Don't be ridiculous. They're part of the family now,

so we should at least have breakfast together.

It's Mr. Song's birthday, so I cooked seaweed soup with beef.

I hope you enjoy it. Now, eat up.

Honey, you should eat the most.

Happy birthday, Mr. Song.

Always be healthy, sir.

Happy birthday, Dad.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Grandpa.

Happy birthday, Mr. Song.

Having a bigger family sure has its perks.

Thanks, everyone. Now, eat up.

- Sure. Thank you. - Let's eat.

Will the party take place at the merchant association lounge?

Yes, and the food should be delivered in advance.

Ga Hee, lend me a hand.

Joon Seon, go to the fish market and buy some raw fish.

Halibut and rockfish would do.

- Okay. - Got it, Mom.

I'll get there as soon as my class ends.

Ms. Choi let me have the day off...

so that I can attend Dad's party.

Gosh, how grateful.

These days, she's been the best in-law ever.

In-law, my foot.

It's nice to finally celebrate Dad's birthday.

Tell me about it.

Honey, finish off your meal today,

and don't leave a drop of that seaweed soup.

Must you nag me on my birthday?

Okay, fine. I'll eat it all.

Ms. Jang.

The marinated crabs are to die for.

They're awesome.

You must like marinated crabs. Let me get some more for you.

- No, that's all right. - Thank you!

I mean, we're good.

It's okay. There are a lot, so eat up.

What else should I bring out? Gatkimchi and soy braised beans.

- Hold on a second. - But there's a lot left here.

It's fine.

Mom is too generous for her own good.

Are you heading up there again?

Yes.

Don't be late though.

The birthday boy shouldn't be late to his own party.

I won't. I'll just say hello.

Pick up your phone and don't put it in silent mode.

Got it.

That reminds me. I was going to call Na Hee.

Hi, Mom.

You know about your dad's birthday party today, right?

Be there on time with Gyu Jin.

Mom, what if we just went by the house after it's over?

Must we say hello to all your guests?

Of course. It's your duty as our children.

Besides, the ladies at the market...

have been dying to take photos with you.

You're practically celebrities to them.

That's ridiculous.

Anyway, I got it. We'll head there after our shift.

Na Hee.

What time are we expected at your father's birthday party?

Sometime around dinner, I guess.

We'll take my car. Call me when your shift ends.

Right.

That's odd.

He never offers to go to these things before I ask.

So...

I was too flustered yesterday to say anything to you.

We should at least exchange names.

Fate brought us together, right? Anyway, I'm Oh Jeong Bong.

And I'm Lee Jong Soo. It's good to meet you.

I'm Park Hyo Sin. I hope we get along well.

Can I ask how old you are?

I'm 28.

28?

Since I'm 30, I'll stop addressing you formally.

Jong Soo is a year older than you, so be super polite.

Sure thing.

You probably figured it out by now,

but we've been learning stunts from Joon Seon.

We'll soon be like Bruce Lee from "Shaolin Temple".

It was Jet Li who starred in "Shaolin Temple".

Hey. Seriously?

Jet Li starred in "Fist Of Fury".

We've been stuntmen for 10 years, you know.

Jeong Bong is a smart man. He graduated from a decent school.

Don't you dare.

Bruce Lee was the one in "Fist Of Fury".

When that movie was released, Jet Li was only a kid.

Everyone who loves martial arts knows this by heart.

No, that can't be. Jong Soo, look it up.

Sure thing.

What...

Jet Li was the one who starred in "Shaolin Temple".

Is that so? Let me see.

I wonder why I got that mixed up.

Look up "Fist Of Fury" too. Was Bruce Lee in that one?

In what year was that released?

In 1973.

Okay, I got that mixed up too.

I admit that I was confused.

Let's start working out now.

(Song Young Suk, Born March 19, 1967)

Young Suk,

it's my birthday today.

I came by to hear you wish me a happy birthday.

You should be the one who comes to me, you know.

I can't believe you'd make me...

come all the way up here on my birthday.

Young Suk?

Young Suk!

Ma'am, have you seen my sister?

I haven't.

I saw Young Suk.

Did you? Where is she?

Over there.

Get some gum. I have gum.

What are you doing here?

Who told you to do this?

I've been looking everywhere for you.

Who told you to do this?

I asked if I could just for today.

I begged...

Why? For what reason?

It's your birthday.

It's your birthday today.

You wanted to buy this for me?

Because I love sweet red bean buns?

Thanks, Young Suk.

I promise to earn a lot of money so that we can stuff ourselves...

with sweet red bean buns...

on my birthday and yours.

Promise.

Here I am aging year after year when I never got...

to keep that promise.

I should've bought it for you in any way I could back then.

I can't believe I was never able to.

It's already been eight years since I joined this temple.

All this time though, you haven't been able...

to let her go from deep inside your heart.

Well, it's easier said than done.

I can't shake it off since I'm the one who led her to her death.

Just so you know, it's my birthday today,

but I haven't been able to celebrate it.

I felt terrible for only being the one that keeps on aging.

Still, my family has been upset because of it though.

Please go ahead. The tea has been brewed perfectly.

Everyone we encounter in this world...

is like the tea leaf in your teacup.

It always drifts back toward you.

Those who you're bound to meet will show up in your life somehow.

I sometimes just swallow the tea leaf, you know.

I let it be if it gets caught...

in my throat.

I'm finding it hard to remember her face now.

If she had been alive,

she would've become a beautiful lady.

Two rolls of beef kimbap, right?

- Please enjoy. - Thank you.

We'll order another roll of tuna kimbap.

Cho Yeon, one roll of tuna kimbap.

Okay, one extra roll of tuna kimbap!

Gosh, you guys are on a roll today.

Mr. Yang, you're here again.

A few chunks of meat didn't sell today.

It's a rump steak. Instead of grilling it,

make a dish of raw beef. You'll love it.

I love raw beef, you know.

I'm not sure if I should be taking this though.

By the way, will you be at President Song's birthday party?

I thought I'd swing by for a meal.

His wife is an exceptional cook, so don't miss it.

I'll see you two there as well.

See you later.

- Bye. - See you later.

Girls, look at what he brought us.

How much do you think this is worth?

Isn't it odd though?

Why does he keep bringing us free meat?

Why else?

He's fallen for one of us.

I thought you knew men better.

I wonder which one of us though.

You? Me?

Why are you leaving me out?

I melted the hearts of a number of men back in the day.

That's a lie, right?

It can't be you.

Mr. Yang has standards, right?

It hurts my pride to say this,

but I guess I'm not a match to you when it comes to age.

You must be happy to have him bring you...

free meat like this.

So who could it be?

Did Joon Seon go to catch the fish himself?

He should be back from the fish market by now.

Why not help us with the food? I'm exhausted, you know.

He'll be back when he's done,

so stop complaining and taste this for me.

Should I add more soy sauce?

That's a job I'm the best at.

Here you go.

What do you think?

- It's amazing. - Really?

It's perfect.

Me too, Mom.

You too?

Here you go.

My gosh!

Can I take some of this to Ms. Choi?

She let me have the day off.

Why not?

Ok Ja, can you pack some of the japchae and jeon...

for Yun Jeong?

What? What did you ask me to do?

Unbelievable.

The japchae and jeon!

Get a grip on yourself.

You've been spacing out a lot these days.

When did I space out? You're making that up.

Auntie, your makeup seems darker these days.

Is it perhaps because you're seeing someone?

Dating?

At least accuse me of that after setting me up with someone.

I'm too busy finding someone for myself, you know.

Isn't there anyone decent who works at the market?

Auntie, what about Mr. Yang?

Isn't he sexy in a way?

Tell me about it. So you realized it too.

Are you insane?

Don't dare link me with that man. It's upsetting, you know.

She and Mr. Yang won't work.

They're polar opposites.

Really?

I think he's a decent guy though.

- He's manly. - Yes.

- Funny. - Of course.

And sexy for a man his age.

He sees the world in a simple way which makes him cute.

Exactly.

That's why he's been driving me insane.

If you're that interested in him,

maybe you should date him.

Should I?

I would've jumped at the chance had he not been Dad's friend.

Unbelievable.

Are you insane?

You just don't know what's appropriate.

I was only joking. Gosh, that hurts.

Unbelievable.

Auntie, Mom doesn't approve.

I guess he's all yours.

I'd love to call him mine.

Here you go. It's raw halibut and rockfish.

You love raw fish. Enjoy it with the kids.

I even got some freebies on the side.

Take them with you.

How could you hand us these when it's for your dad's birthday?

I bought extra for you guys.

Just take it, will you?

You had to cancel your class since I couldn't take Seo Jin today.

A day won't hurt me.

Besides, I'm grateful for your parents...

babysitting her every other day.

Anyway, just take this.

Please.

Come on.

Anyway, enjoy, and leave some for Seo Young.

She loves raw fish, so she'll smell it in the air.

All right. Thanks for this.

At the market, I was reminded of the time we dated.

We bought a plate of raw halibut...

and enjoyed it by the Han River.

Our hearts were full of all kinds of emotions...

even though we barely had anything going for us.

Get going now. You don't want to be late.

I hope your dad's party goes well.

Right.

You were brave back then...

to fall for someone who had nothing to offer.

Look, it's my daughter!

Dad, you're an idiot.

You should've pushed it more.

You should eat the raw fish instead of this.

I'll have that too.

I can eat a lot, you know.

- Dad. - Yes?

How did you and Mom meet?

Your mom?

On the job.

Did she do stunts too?

As if.

You know how she's awful at physical activities.

It was something else.

Mom loved you back then, right?

Why else would she have married you?

Did she?

I guess she did.

Then Mom is the traitor.

How can one's love change?

I'm grateful for you being on my side,

but your mom did change...

and I caused it.

That makes me the bad guy.

As if you know anything about love anyway.

You little pinhead.

My goodness. You didn't have to bring me this.

I could've easily bought some at the department store.

Store-bought food is nothing like homemade meals.

Please have some while they're still warm.

All right. Then I'll enjoy this.

Tell your mother that I'm grateful.

Sure thing.

I'm home, Mom.

Hey.

Hi, Ms. Song.

I'll get going then. My mom needs my help.

Sure thing.

I had flowers delivered to wish your father a happy birthday.

Gosh, thank you.

- I'll get going then. - Sure.

Ms. Song...

Look at all this food.

Ok Boon has always been generous.

Maybe I should've given her a cake.

I have a whole cake in the fridge.

Let me run along and give it to her.

Ms. Song.

Ms. Song!

Here you go.

Mom said you should have it.

It's for the birthday party.

She shouldn't have.

Tell her I'm grateful then. Bye.

Ms. Song.

Why does it feel like you're avoiding me?

Did I do something wrong?

No, of course not.

Then was it you who did something wrong?

I'm only joking, you know.

I really need to get going,

so I'll see you some other time. Bye, then.

But...

Something is definitely up. Why else could she be like that?

And here I thought we were friends,

but maybe not.

Say that this is from you. It's a dress shirt.

I'll give him some money in an envelope.

Sure.

The ladies at the market can be a bit too much,

but please try and get along.

Got it.

Why are you so pliant today? This isn't like you.

Let's say that your mom's chilies worked.

Besides, it's your expression that needs to soften up.

Anyone could tell that we're a divorced couple.

Guys, get over here.

You recognize them, right?

Here's my daughter and this is my son-in-law.

- Hello. - He looks familiar.

Right.

- He's on TV. - That's right.

Anyway, guys, get over here.

You recognize them, right?

My daughter and son-in-law are on that show "Doctors".

Hello.

This is my first time seeing them.

The celebrities look even better in person.

Celebrities?

- Gosh, thank you. - You're both so pretty.

Thank you, ma'am.

Let's head over there next.

Where?

Over here.

Here.

You recognize them, right?

This is my daughter and son-in-law from "Doctors".

I've been enjoying the show, you know.

Can I get a photo later on so that I can brag about it?

Me too. I want one too.

Yes, of course.

Look at those pretentious jerks.

See the show they're putting on?

They're following Mom around and saying hi.

Gyu Jin is the worst.

Tell me about it.

I'm disgusted now that I know the truth.

Joon Seon, please look the other way.

You're only making it obvious by glaring at him.

I just can't help it.

Look how excited Mom is now.

How can I not lose my temper?

May I have your attention?

Today is the birthday...

of President Song Young Dal of the merchant association.

I'd like to thank all the merchants, family, and relatives...

for taking the time to be here today.

Please allow me to introduce myself first.

I'm Young Dal's best friend,

Yang Chi Su.

All right.

I guess everyone is mostly done eating.

At a party like this, we definitely need singing and dancing.

To celebrate President Song's birthday,

the nightingales of Yongju Traditional Market are here.

Here are DT Sisters.

They are the owners of dried fish and twisted doughnut stores.

Let's go.

(Start)

Life is all about now

Amor fati

There you are. Come sing with us.

He's standing up.

Gosh, I shouldn't do this.

You're so good.

Yes!

Amor fati

You're amazing.

He must be really happy.

His children and son-in-law are here to celebrate his birthday.

He's a little stubborn,

but he is a lucky man.

I know. The president has a lot of good people around him.

I think so. And his wife is so beautiful.

Now that we finished eating, we should get going.

Why? It's getting fun.

Let's just sing one song. This is what we are good at.

Let's just go. I'm tired.

Do you know how many kimbap I made today?

Wait.

Please give them a big hand. That was amazing.

They are the nightingales of Yongju Traditional Market.

Now it's time for Mr. Song to sing in return.

- Mr. Song, please come forward. - Gosh, no.

I can't sing.

- Why not? Just go ahead and sing. - My gosh.

Don't be shy.

- My gosh. - Just come on up.

- Mr. Song Young Dal! - Hang on.

There's something Mr. Song needs.

Please wait.

All right.

Here you are.

What?

I haven't played it for a long time. I can't do this.

You don't have to be good. Just show us what you can do.

Please give him a big hand.

My gosh.

- Song Young Dal! - Song Young Dal!

- Song Young Dal! - Song Young Dal!

- Song Young Dal! - Song Young Dal!

Walking with my eyes closed

Walking with my eyes open

All I can see is a shabby-looking woman

A face that I want to see

(Yongju Traditional Market Merchant Association)

Let's go.

Why are you so depressed after having a good dinner?

I know. You don't seem to want to have fun.

I was waiting for my turn to sing my favorite song.

I don't know.

I'm not jealous of rich or pretty people.

But I'm really envious of people with a happy family.

Cho Yeon.

We are your family.

You're making me upset.

She's right. And you have the monk too.

You are right. I have a big family.

Yes, you do. You're so lucky.

You have two pretty sisters.

That's true. You can't buy pretty sisters like us with money.

I don't think so.

Walking with my eyes closed

This is nice.

- Walking with my eyes open - Walking with my eyes open

You're good.

- All I can see is - All I can see is

- A shabby-looking woman - A shabby-looking woman

- A face that I want to see - A face that I want to see

- Waves on the streets - Waves on the streets

Gyu Jin, have some melon.

Honey, eat some melon.

Okay. Let me just change my clothes.

Mother, I will have just one piece. I'm so full now.

Okay. You've had a long day.

You must be tired from taking pictures with the ladies.

It's you who dragged him around to brag.

I didn't brag. I just introduced him to people.

Why did you introduce only Na Hee and Gyu Jin then?

Aren't Joon Seon, Ga Hee, and Da Hee your kids too?

Aunt Ok Ja, I understand Mom.

Me too.

They say they understand.

The kids want to eat later. Just leave them be.

Do you want me to peel one so you can bring it to them?

Okay. That would work.

All right.

Oh, right. Ok Ja, you should cut this.

I made sikhye for Gyu Jin, but I guess it's a little bland.

Why don't you go taste it?

Okay. Let's go.

Joon Seon, I heard you caused trouble again.

What?

It's not like you're a parasite.

Why would you hide your juniors in the rooftop house?

Hey. I don't think you can say that.

What?

What are you talking about? Why can't I say that?

- Gosh, Joon Seon. - Joon Seon.

What's wrong? Do you have something to tell me?

Do I have something to tell you?

She just asked if I have something to tell her.

You've been acting strange all day.

You gave me the cold shoulder and glowered at me.

What's the matter?

Song Na Hee, we need to talk.

- Gosh, Joon Seon. Wait. - Joon Seon.

- Hey, Na Hee. - Na Hee.

- Joon Seon. - Why?

I can't believe this.

Gosh, Joon Seon.

Hey, where are you guys going? Can I come too?

What was that? Are they leaving me out?

My gosh.

Gosh.

What is it? Tell me.

Joon Seon, please.

What's going on?

You've been trying to pick a fight with me.

What's the matter?

Gosh, it seems really serious. It's like a calm before the storm.

I know. Joon Seon looks really upset.

What is going on?

Is something happening out there?

- My goodness. - You startled me.

What is it?

- Why did you call me out... - I hear you got a divorce.

Gosh.

How did you know?

Does that even matter? Who cares how we found out?

Joon Seon, keep your voice down. Mom would hear you.

Joon Seon, please. Calm yourself down.

What are you thinking? Why are you putting on this show?

I understand a married couple can get divorced.

If you two are not compatible, you can break up.

But you should've told us first.

Are you an orphan? Do you not have a family?

I just couldn't tell you.

Mom was really devastated.

So you just got a divorce and pretended nothing happened?

- Do you think that makes sense? - Gosh, Joon Seon.

Can't you lower your voice?

Mom just pulled herself together.

I'll wait a bit longer...

and tell Mom and Dad when the right time comes.

So please keep it to yourself until then.

How can I pretend not to know when I actually do?

This is deception.

You're ignoring us...

and fooling Mom and Dad who care so much about you.

Is that what smart people do?

What did Na Hee do to fool me?

Mom.

Mom.

Oh my goodness.

Cut. I said cut.

Seo Jun, are you all right?

You hurt your little finger.

- What do we do? - Hurry.

He hurt his little finger. Bring the first-aid kit.

- Disinfect the wound. - Are you all right?

- Gosh. - Hey.

- Clean it first. - It looks bad.

Don't you see he's hurt too?

He was hurt even worse. He's spilling blood.

- No, I'm fine. - Oh, right.

Do we have another kit?

Who are you?

Me? I play a minor role.

Oh, a minor role.

I love you.

- What? - What?

No, no. I mean, thank you.

Thank you.

(Once Again)

How do you feel about Gyu Jin?

Look carefully into your heart.

Is it really because of those reasons,

or are you not yet ready to leave Gyu Jin?

My mom used to be very sick with lung disease.

Oh, and I remember one more thing. A song.

My older brother sang for me.

That show is quite fun.

Wait. Those two...

Wow, so it's true that TV programs are all staged.

Do you know them?
