Episode 28

Mom.

Mom!

Three Hours Ago

I have to put this woman in her place.

Even if I were covered in designer brands,

it's not as if this woman would recognize it anyway.

Just a minute.

This?

It's just too plain.

There's nothing that compares to a fur at times like this.

Why must we have a meeting of the families on a day like this of all days?

There just isn't anything that will suffice.

Mom, are you still not ready?

We'll be late. Hurry up and come out.

Let's go.

What is that draped over your shoulders? You're going like that?

Mom, I think you'll be extremely hot in that.

A fashionable person should die of heat stroke in summer and freeze to death in the winter.

You said we're late. Let's go.

Are you in your right mind?

On such a scorching hot day like today!

Go back and dress properly!

Stay quiet if you don't know anything.

No matter how expensive clothing may be, nothing beats a fur.

Good grief!

Did I always have nothing to wear?

I should have bought some beforehand.

I don't have a thing to wear.

She's someone who will pick me apart from head to toe, as it is.

Mom! Have you decided what to wear?

No. I don't have anything to wear.

Really?

Number 3 brush.

- No, number 3. - Oh.

- This one?- Yeah.

Now, there!

♫ "I'm the best!" with that in mind,

put a fierce look on your face. Got it?

Just because that woman is in designer labels, no need to let her kill your vibe.

Why would she kill my vibe? She won't kill my vibe.

Of course. Mom is a masterpiece herself.

Her elegance is overflowing.

All set. Ta-da!

Daughter! I look like I'm going to ask for a refund.

Why? I think it looks pretty.

But still, I don't think this is right. What is this?

I guess it's a little... intense?

You startled me! What is this?

Look, isn't it too much?

Let me see.

I'll do it over.

Mom, you can just go as yourself.

What are you talking about? The building owner is Brother-in-law's mother.

Sis, loan Mom a handbag. Hers are too worn out.

There's no need I said.

She'll have the world's most expensive accessory right beside her.

There's such a thing? In our house?

Right here.

This intelligence, this amazing personality,

sexy, the one who has everything,

this masterpiece, Byeon Hye Yeong!

Agreed! Of course a masterpiece mom would have a masterpiece daughter, right?

Mother-in-law.

Do you need any clothes or accessories by any chance?

Should I help out and be your stylist today?

That's right. You're the team leader of the art team, aren't you?

To complete the "meeting of the families" look, a well-chosen outfit,

and a statement necklace to match.

Mother, what do you think of these clothes?

New Unni, do you have any shoes? Mom doesn't have any shoes either.

Deal.

Wow, it's so pretty!

- You should wear something at least this nice. - It looks amazing.

What does his father do?

He was a reporter for DaeHan Daily newspaper, writing for the culture section.

I think he eventually became the General Manager,

but he retired a year ago and doesn't work now.

Really? He was a very impressive person.

No way. Dad, you're not feeling intimidated, are you?

N-No. Why would I?

All set.

Mom! Are you ready yet?

- Ta-da!- Wow, Mom!

You look so cool!

Bravo! But you look like you were "chewing gum." (Euphemism for tough girls)

Oh, right, I saw it! That movie about thieves! (Actress appeared in the movie The Thieves (2012), her character's name was Chewing Gum.)

Do-do-do I look okay?

Do I look alright, Honey?

I think you look alright.

Although it doesn't look like you, you look sharp.

You're totally okay, Mom.

You need to go all out on a day like today.

I think your looks can kill them all.

Really? Let's go, Honey.

Wow! Wow!!

Let's go.

What is with that fur coat? It's going to be the hottest days of summer soon.

Anyone can see that she's showing off.

I've heard of plastering make-up on. That's exactly what they mean by plastering on the make-up.

So unsightly, I can't even look at her.

Welcome.

I'm Cha Gyu Taek. I'm Jeong Hwan's father.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Byeon Han Soo. I'm Hye Yeong's father.

Ah, yes. Nice to meet you.

Yes.

I wanted to meet you sooner,

but I thought it might be bad manners.

I wasn't able to greet you as well.

You've met my wife before, haven't you?

Yes, it's been a while.

Honey. This is my wife.

Hello.

Yes, nice to meet you. I'm Cha Gyu Taek.

I've seen you once before. The day your cafe opened.

Ah, yes, yes, yes. I do remember.

It's been a while.

I guess our two families are fated for each other, in various ways.

The problem is that this fate is so tenacious.

Thank you for coming, Father and Mother.

Sure.

Hello, Father and Mother.

Hye Yeong looks even prettier today.

Thank you.

Sit down, Mom and Dad.

Have a seat, Father and Mother. Sit down, Dad and Mom.

Okay. Let's sit.

- Have a seat.- Yes, take a seat.

Ah, yes, please sit.

Let's get through this well.

I love you.

- You must be crazy.- Yeah.

I'm not saying this just because of this occasion.

Truly, for giving us such an outstanding daughter that you raised,

we're very thankful.

It's true I haven't met her many times, but she is decisive, has conviction,

and she's so beautiful and very talented.

We feel as if we're gaining the absolute best daughter-in-law.

You're too kind.

Thank you for recognizing that.

She really is not lacking in any way,

we feel she is too precious to give to just anyone.

Since her schooling days, she was smart enough to get into Seoul National University without even a single private tutoring session.

And although she started studying for the bar exam later than others,

she passed it the first time around.

She qualified in only two and half years, it was so fast that she made the news.

I see. She passed the bar in just two and a half years.

That's very amazing.

Yes, well, I might come across as a foolish bragging mom,

but she's not only smart.

Her personality was always so proper and straightforward—

Excuse me, why don't we start by ordering.

If we order too late, the food will come out too late.

Yes, go ahead then.

Jeong Hwan, press the bell so we can place our order.

Yes.

The menus are over there, Father and Mother.

And also, if you speak like that, it sounds like our Jeong Hwan is inadequate in some way.

When it comes to being too precious to give to anyone, our son is no less precious.

As you say, I wasn't bragging about my son so as not to be called a foolish bragging mom—

That's not what I meant.

I apologize for such a late greeting.

For giving us such an extraordinary son to be our son-in-law,

we're pleased and thankful to you.

Seeing how he was last time when he came to our house,

he was dignified and proper, with such a warm personality.

We couldn't find a single flaw in him.

And his job is impressive as well.

Look at the menu. We need to order.

Please order anything that's good.

We'd like to treat you today.

Not at all. We can't allow that.

You gave us your precious daughter. We'll treat you today.

From our perspective, you're giving us your precious son as a son-in-law.

Yes, we'll pay for the meal.

We said we would pay.

That's why we reserved this restaurant, as well.

Also,

this is a very expensive restaurant.

We are capable of this much.

Let's be fair and both pay then.

Do we really have to go that far?

The groom's family is supposed to pay for the meeting of the families. Don't you know that?

Is there a reason to split hairs over this?

We'll pay. Hye Yeong and I will.

I think it's only proper since both parents are meeting over our marriage.

We will pay for this.

In light of that, we'll also decide on the menu.

Please give us Course B.

Yes, ma'am.

Can you not make noise while you eat? Observe your reputation, please.

You're eating like someone who's been starving for days.

But, the food...

It's delicious.

The ingredients are fresh

and each dish is flavored with a different broth,

which really increases the savoriness.

The grilled short rib patties are marinated with their own juices,

so it's really premium.

How many times have you said that?

Are you here to judge the food here?

We would like to marry as soon as possible.

Yes, it would even be fine if we married right away.

In any case, we'd like to marry within the month.

You cannot do that.

Reserving the venue and preparing everything else, it's going to take at least a few months.

Yes, that's not great for us as well.

Our oldest child just got married, so getting ready for another wedding so soon

seems like it will be difficult.

We were thinking about not having a wedding.

Not have a wedding? What does that mean?

Instead of a wedding, we thought our families would just gather

and eat a meal together, and do that in place of a wedding.

Not to mention, small weddings are a trend these days.

Sunbae and I don't really like exhibitionistic weddings, anyway.

Our plan is to save the money for the wedding

and spend that money in a more practical way.

Maybe buy furniture or Sunbae and I will go

on a trip abroad, perhaps.

Why won't you have a wedding?

But I've given so many wedding money gifts over the years.

Mom, we're not saying we're not having a wedding at all. We just want a small wedding.

A gathering of our families, eating together, it may be small and simple,

but let us focus on the true, original meaning of marriage—

Be quiet. Small wedding? No.

Do a big wedding. Rent a hall in a hotel and do it properly.

Big. Extravagant.

I think what our kids are saying is not without validity.

Also, isn't a hotel a bit excessive?

It may be excessive for your family but not at all for our family.

And since we're already talking about these things,

we only have one child, Jeong Hwan, right here.

So we have huge expectations when it comes to his marriage.

So when it comes to wedding expenses and gifts, we plan to receive them properly.

So please observe the formality and prepare them properly.

Honey!

Well, to do it "properly,"

I don't know what you are expecting, exactly.

Of course, I mean that you should meet our family's standards,

not your family's standards.

- Gosh, Honey! - Mom!

I feel that your words are out of line.

Since a while ago, you keep acting stuck up about your possessions.

- Acting stuck up? - Yes, acting stuck up.

Are you using your son as a transaction? Abruptly

demanding wedding expenses and gifts, demanding that we have to meet your standards.

Honey.

Can't I make at least that much demand when marrying off my son?

And when you marry off your daughter, were you planning on sending her with just an empty mouth?

- Empty mouth? - Mom, please stop.

Not to mention the wedding, we were not planning to have wedding expenses and gifts at all.

What? Why won't you have those?

You will have a wedding!

And you will have wedding expenses and gifts all up to our standards! Everything!

Mom!

Is a wedding just for you two?

Mom and Dad want to say, "We raised our son and now he's getting married."

It is a place where we want to greet our friends and acquaintances, like that.

But if you two are just going to do whatever you want anyway,

why did you bother to invite me and Dad here?

You're making us into scarecrows. Do you think you just fell from of the sky?

Why are you acting like this?

If you're going to act like this, then don't marry, and don't register your marriage.

Just shack up, then! Shack up!

The kids were planning to officially register their marriage at a later time, anyway.

- Just in case, they thought they would try living with each other first, before they decide. - What?

Apparently, it was good thinking on their part.

Look at how the mother-in-law is. Any bride would be too frightened to register her marriage.

I told them it was a good idea.

Honey!

Yes, what a good thing.

So if they don't register their marriage, and they break up later,

we don't have to pay a single cent of alimony. Oh, wonderful.

To that we say hurray. Thank you!

Very much, thank you!

What, what did you say?!?

Hey you! Do you really think those are actual words you are spitting out?

Look who's talking? I barely held myself back at this displeasing situation,

and what? "Look at how the mother-in-law is?" What does that mean?!?

- Stop it. - Displeasing situation? That feeling is mutual! Do you think I like this any better?

You should stop, too.

Mrs. In-law, please calm down. My wife is just acting up.

In any case, they will be living with us in our home,

so we don't need any wedding gifts at all.

Huh? What are you saying?

They will be living with you?

Yes.

Didn't you know? If they get married,

they agreed to come live in our home,

- on the second floor of our house. - Hey!

What is this? You're going to live in that house?

Yes. That is how it happened.

You cannot. How can you?

You can never marry him.

What I want to say! I definitely will never let them marry!

Mom!

Why? Why are you calling Mom?

If you're going to do whatever you want, why plan an occasion like that, and ask us to come?

And what is that about registering your marriage at a later time?

So you're saying that you will break up whenever you want to?

Be quiet! What did you do right, anyway?

That was so humiliating today, I really could not sit there anymore.

"But I've given so many wedding money gifts over the years."

If you want to show yourself at your lowest, even for that, there is a limit!

Do you want to advertise that you're a materialistic person?

What is wrong with that? People just don't say it.

Everyone thinks that when they pass out invitations to their events.

That's why everyone goes to weddings so diligently, so they can get the same in return when it's their turn.

Please stop this already! Are you determined to ruin your son's marriage?

Marriage, what marriage? Didn't you hear that woman?

She said she can't let this marriage happen. So you give up on this marriage, too.

For your sake, I tried to give in, hundreds, no, thousands of times,

but I really cannot become in-laws with that family.

Fine. Then that is what I will do.

Don't become in-laws with them. I no longer want, or will ask that of you.

There is no need to be in-laws with them, and no need for you to expect to be treated like anyone's mother-in-law.

I will just leave home and marry Hye Yeong and we will live by ourselves.

What are you saying? Is that something you can say to your parent who raised you?

Then what you are saying, does that make any sense?

I really just cannot deal with you—at all.

- Mom, you came? - You got home?

- Mom, how did it go? - Mother, did you have a nice time?

Father, how was it?

Why are they like that?

Something must have happened.

Are you in your right mind?

How can you agree to go live in a place like that, alone?

And why didn't you tell us?

Shouldn't you discuss a decision like that with your mom and dad?

I was going to tell you after the meeting of the families.

- We just decided two days ago— - Two days ago or whenever,

you should have discussed it with us before making a decision.

Do you really not know what kind of woman she is, before agreeing to live with her?

Well, somehow it just happened that way. Oppa lives here with his wife, too.

Be quiet! Your oppa and daughter-in-law asked to come live here.

And is he in the same situation as you?

We didn't want you to marry him, but you insisted, so we finally relented.

As soon as we give you permission, you stab us in the back like this?

And you should have discussed something like this with us first, no matter what!

In any case, you cannot marry this man.

And I'm not happy with him, either. Okay?

The day he came to greet us,

he said he would put down a deposit on a house near your workplaces.

And he changes his plans in just a few days, like this?

What words has he ever stood by, anyway?

How can he have such little faith and loyalty that he

changes his mind so easily, as if just turning over his hand?

No. I cannot trust a man like him, I can't give you to him.

You can never marry him.

I understand.

Understand what?

I won't marry.

I won't do it. Marriage.

Well, both mothers are roaring at each other

so crudely. So in such a case,

it doesn't seem like they can become in-laws, can they?

I mean, Mom, you're saying you hate it so much, so I don't want to

insist on marrying, okay?

What is it about marriage, anyway that it would make this whole other self come out of you, Mom?

I was really shocked today.

Mom, I have never seen you

be so uninhibited,

undignified, narrow-minded,

and quick-tempered. I never knew you had such a personality in you.

Alright. I won't do it.

In return, please don't ever mention even the "mar-" of the word marriage, ever again.

I will never do anything like marriage for the rest of my life.

But I will date men.

At my age? I don't intend to forgo relationships with men.

But while dating men, it's possible that I may shack up with them.

But if I continue to date some man, and he mentions marriage,

then I will break up with him. I will just live the rest of my life that way.

So please don't interfere in my life.

This is fine, right? Alright, let's say that we are done now.

What happened? Is the marriage really broken?

Maybe she just said it because she's angry?

I feel like she just said it out of anger, too.

But Big Unni really agreed to live in that house?

So...

So, is the marriage broken or not?

Nutcracker ♡

Cheol Soo, you're going to go to the party after the presentation, right?

Yeah.

Teacher Byeon Ra Yeong - Are you enjoying the lecture?

Call me when the lecture is done.

Hey, sorry, but I can't go today. Have fun.

Hey!

Aren't you going to shower?

Hey, let's watch something else.

No.

You don't even like soccer.

I decided to love it from now on.

Hey, I can't go into our room right now, let's watch something else.

Coach Park. Is it over?

Hey, do you have a new boyfriend?

Was it a drills class today? Why are you so out of breath?

Where are you? In front of my house?

My house?!

Just a moment. Uh, give me just ten minutes.

Coach Park!

How are you here? Didn't you say you had plans after your class?

Yes. I did have plans.

But I missed you.

What the? Are you sure this is your first time dating?

How is it that you know exactly how to make me feel fluttery?

What kind of class did you have today?

We had presentations. Each team had to give a presentation on soccer tactics.

But do your classes always end this late?

It must be hard to attend them while working, too.

If you finish these night courses, what can you become?

I'm studying to become a professional coach.

Didn't you say you were a soccer player?

When did you stop playing soccer?

I was on my way to becoming a professional.

But I quit about two years ago.

I think you must have been pretty cool.

Why did you quit?

To become a coach?

No.

I had a pretty bad injury.

I couldn't run anymore so I had to give it up.

Oh, sorry.

I shouldn't have asked. I brought up sad memories for nothing.

No, you didn't.

I'm glad you asked.

Also, because I quit playing and started working at this school,

I was able to meet you.

It's really okay now.

♫ One, two, three and four ♫

Go ahead and answer.

Oh, Unni.

Me? I just came outside to get some air.

Yeah, I'll be inside soon.

It's late, should we head back? I'll take you home.

I'm okay though.

Ah, you might miss the last bus.

Oh.

I'm okay, too.

I was planning to walk anyway for the exercise.

But we should still go, right?

Let's go.

♫ Starting the day with a fragrant cup of coffee ♫

♫ I take another bite of my delicious pastry ♫

No matter how I think about it, my house is too close by.♫ I take another bite of my delicious pastry ♫

Let's go. I'll take you over there to the main road.

This is already the third time.

But this time will be for real.

I'll take you there and I'll really come back by myself.

No, thanks.

I want to be together just a little longer. Don't you?

I do, but it's too dangerous for you to come back by yourself.

I'm okay with that though.♫ I love you (I love you) I love you ♫

I'm not okay with that. Go on inside.♫ I love you (I love you) I love you ♫

♫ I love you (I love you) I love you ♫

But don't your words not match your actions?♫ I love you ♫

♫ I love you too much ♫

You have to let go of my hand so I can go.

Ah, that's right.

Now go inside for real. I'll come get you in the morning.

Okay. Then, I'll get going.

Cheol Soo!

Actor Ahn Joong Hee, happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Customer, happy birthday to you!

Oh right, today is my birthday, huh?

- Hey, what? Why, why, why. - You will see.

But what? Hold on, hold on...

♪ Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

♪ To our beloved Ahn Joong Hee

♪ Happy birthday to you! - Wow!!!

Blow the candles out, Actor Ahn.

Congratulations!

Oh, you shouldn't have. How did you know?

They have your manager who is in charge of you.

Thank you. Thanks, guys!

Sit down.

Yes, okay.

But...

Is this (happy) mood alright, right now?

Why did something happen? Of course, it's fine.

Father, I am hungry.

Oh, yes. Everyone, enjoy the food.

- We appreciate the meal! - We appreciate the meal!

Joong Hee, why aren't you eating?

I don't like seaweed soup, because it's slippery. (seaweed soup is traditional food for birthdays)

Hurry and eat it all.

In our home, if you don't eat all of that on your birthday, you can't get up from the table.

It's no joke. It's real.

If you don't eat all of it, we can't get up, either.

Hurry up! Quickly.

I don't like mixed-grain rice either because of the rough texture.

Pickiness is forbidden.

I know that celebrities these days go into the jungle and eat bugs.

You should eat everything you can chew.

Hurry and eat it all. It's tradition in our home. All our kids were raised this way.

"When in Rome do as the Romans do," they say. So you should do as we do, in our home, right?

After all, Joong Hee, you are now one of our sons.

I'm sorry. It's the first time I've had a birthday table set for me, like this.

We have a gift for you.

- Happy birthday, Oppa! - Happy birthday, Oppa!

Happy birthday... Oppa.

Hold on, hold on, I don't think this is right, Second Child.

Why? Why... Oppa?

I just... I just can't handle you calling me that. I'm sorry, I...

Well, it is my birthday, but... sorry, Second Child.

- Ah... - Thank you. (formally)

Hey, guys, guys, hold on.

Today's commute is this oppa's treat. I even got congratulations from you. Get in the van, hurry.

Really? We get to ride in the van, for real?

Get in, hurry.

In the van!

Whoa...

Team Leader Kim, where are you going?

You should get in. Go on, hurry.

Let's go together.

Get in, Actor Ahn.

You should get in today. I will drive.

Yes!

Wow, we are really riding in the van.

Alright, we will be leaving now.

Driver Ahn? Let's go.

Oppa, let's go.

- Oppa! Let's go! - Second Child, don't say it.

Oppa!!! Let's go!!!

Hey, don't do that!

Mom.

Yes, come in.

What? What is that?

Rice cake with beans. You were bored alone, huh, Mom?

Yes. Even Daughter-in-law is out to work all day long, I'm so stinkin' bored.

But the rice cake with beans... is it someone's birthday?

Huh? Um, hmm...

Why won't you answer my question?

Hey, did you set a birthday table for that child your husband had out of wedlock?

Oh, no, it's not like that. I just wanted to eat this.

You like it, and Hye Yeong like it, too.

Is that so?

Oh, how did the meeting of the families go?

Hmmm...

Don't even ask.

I'm sorry to ask to meet with you so suddenly.

It's alright. I wanted to meet you once, too.

Mother, have you heard of Science High School?

Yes. Actually that was what I wanted to ask you about.

I saw a brochure about admission on Min Ha's desk.

So I wanted to know more about that place.

How nice to hear. Whenever I sent any messages home with Min Ha, I never heard back from you.

So I thought that maybe you didn't have a lot of interest in your child's education.

I'm sorry. I guess I had neglected it.

No, it's alright.

Min Ha has never lost his first place ranking in his grade level.

And he consistently scores high in various academic competitions.

He is an outstanding and superb child.

Since you saw the brochure, you will already know this,

but our school is very interested in having Min Ha attend the Science High School next year.

Our Min Ha?

Yes.

As you can see, Min Ha also said that he wanted to attend Science High School for the past two years.

But suddenly, this year, he said that he will not go.

Why?

I asked him, too, but he won't answer me.

He just says that he doesn't want to.

But I would really like it if you can send him, if you can afford it.

If such a child as Min Ha, with a natural-born ability, attends Science High School, he can become a true person of talent.

I wish Min Ha's parents will have a talk with him.

Yes...

High School You Wish to Attend: 1st year: Science High School / 2nd year: Science High School / 3rd year: Don't have one

Thank you for coming!

Oh.

So did you meet with his homeroom teacher?

What did she say?

Our Min Ha is a natural-born talent, she said.

If we can afford it, she wants to send him to Science High School.

Oh, really?

So what did you say?

I couldn't say anything.

Wow, our Min Ha. He's amazing.

I know. We have such an amazing son.

I can do it.

Hey, relax a bit.

So many seats available, one is meant for me, right?

57, 58, 59... go! SYS CONCERT 'ToNights'

[Saturday, June 10th, 2017]

Seat Reservation / Select Seat / Standing 1...

Standing 7 / Reserve / I am not a robot.

I am not a robot. / Please select a photo with a person in it.

Huh? What is this?

I am not a robot. / Please select a photo with a person in it.

Please... please!

The seat has already been reserved. Please start over from the beginning.

What is this?! Oh...

You lost. All sold out.

Hey, did you succeed?

When can I see my Jeong Yeon Noona in the flesh?

Maybe in your next life? Since we're at the PC Cafe, how about one game?

You play. I better relieve my stress.

Hey, what are you doing now?

You didn't go crazy because you missed the concert, did you?

If I solve a math problem, my stress is relieved.

Heol... You are crazy. I cannot understand you at all.

Question 181

We're discussing the sponsored clothes for Jin Seong Joon to wear in his drama.

Since the season is changing, we will need to receive a whole new set from all the sponsors.

I will give you the list once I sort it out.

We've already decided on all the clothes for Ahn Joong Hee to wear in his drama.

The clothes for the debut stage for Hero, we are checking on the design and manufacturing, for now.

The concept hasn't been finalized, so we will make final decisions after discussing it with the members.

The progress is being shared with Team Leader Im, for now—

Okay. So finish that up with Team Leader Im.

If there is any problem at all, go ahead and tell me.

Well, there shouldn't be any problems. I have to take care of it on my own, from now on.

Alright. I know you will do well. Next?

Oh, we got a request for clothes for a group photo of all the actors at our company.

The scale of this project is quite big.

- Our snacks have arrived! - Whoa!

You've all skipped lunch, so please take a break and eat this.

Oh yeah! Pizza, pizza!

Let's first eat before working.

Oh, sorry.

I'm alright. Keep eating.

Mmm, yummy.

I'm going crazy.

Why do I get morning sickness now, of all times?

Am I allowed to sit here now?

It will probably turn out that way soon. After Team Leader Kim goes on maternity leave,

she may not return, right?

Then, can we include Team Leader Kim in the overtime schedule?

We probably shouldn't for overtime. If she overdoes it and something bad happens, we'd feel bad about it.

How can you make a pregnant woman do overtime?

So for now, take Team Leader Kim out of the overtime schedule.

Until we get more personnel in our department, we should share the extra workload.

Seriously,

we have enough work as it is.

What is this mood? You must have been badmouthing me.

Of course not.

Ah, and just in case you were worried about me since I'm pregnant,

I'll take care of my own work.

So, schedule the overtime and business travel as usual.

Team Leader, instead of being that way, how about requesting supplemental personnel soon?

I think that would make us feel better about things.

You will not lack manpower.

You even scheduled a half day tomorrow for a doctor's appointment.

Ah, that? I cancelled it. I'm not going so don't worry about it.

Team Leader, what if something happens to your health then?

I'll be the one worrying about my health. You just worry about your own work.

You must have the luxury of worrying about me.

I didn't mean that.

Seoul OB/GYN, I'd like to cancel my appointment tomorrow at 3:00 for Kim Yoo Joo

Where did she go, not staying near the filming location?

What, she's not picking up her phone either?

What! Oh my! That scared me!

Blow this out!

Wow, I thought I was going to die.

Hyungnim, congratulations. This is a gift.

What is this?

You could use some more work with enunciation. So I prepared that for your practice. (Actors practice speaking holding a pen in their mouths.)

- Thanks. - Fighting!

Oppa, I have a present for you, too.

What is it?

You like making it obvious you're a celebrity.

Celebrity

Do you hate me?

How did you know?

Actor Ahn, this is my present.

What is it? Why is it so big?

Take a look.

This, too.

What is this?

Do you not like it?

♫ Today as well, I will wait for you ♫

♫ You're the only one I see ♫

Ahn Joong Hee

Oh, I almost fell over. ♫ Today, I will whisper my love to you again ♫

Joong Hee! Your fans must have given you birthday gifts.

I know. They seem to have done this because it's their oppa's birthday.

Then today, again, let's work passionately for those fans.

- Ahn Joong Hee, fighting! - Fighting!

- Now, let's start filming! - Let's go!

Roll 8, scene 5, take 4. Ready, action!

How could you do that?

Father looked so much to find you.

He waited so long for you.

Because you came to see him,

Father was really happy.

Then he shouldn't have abandoned me in the first place. What do you know?

He has never been a father to me for even one moment.

Cut, cut!

Let's try it again.

Ah, what is wrong today?

Roll 8, scene 5, take 5!

Ready, action!

How could you do that?

Father looked so much to find you.

He waited so long for you.

Because you said you'd come for him,

Father was really happy.

Then he shouldn't have abandoned me in the first place.

What do you know?

He has never been a father to me for even one moment.

Cut, cut, cut!

Ah, what's wrong!

Why is the emotion like this today?

Did you not understand the script?

I'm sorry, I'll try it again.

Jin Seong Joon! How can you do this to me?

The emotion isn't alive at all!

Joong Hee, you did very well.

We'll shoot a few more takes with just Jin Seong Joon, so you can go rest for a bit.

Yes, then...

Did you see that? Did you? Did you?

Seriously, when the director went, " Cut! Cut!"

My heart was pounding.

But it was because of Jin Seong Joon, what an unexpected turn of events!

Me too, me too! I thought I did something wrong, so I was feeling really ashamed, thinking, "Oh, what is wrong with me?"

"Jin Seong Joon!"

Judo, this is what I act for.

This why I'm a manager.

Yes, this is Ahn Joong Hee's manager.

Yes? Of course, it's possible.

Yes, then I'll take a look at his schedule and call you right back.

Yes, thank you! Thank you!

- Actor Ahn,- What?

'Two Days, One Night, Together' called to cast you.

'Two Days, One Night, Together?'

Hey, isn't that KBC's main variety show?

Yes! You'll do it, right?

Of course I'll do it! Wow!

- Wow, this is daebak. - Then I will plan your schedule now.

Schedule it. Wait, Judo!

We can't let a good day like this go by. What do you want to eat? Oppa's treat.

- Meat! - Meat, meat?

- Shall we go? - Let's go!

This isn't the meat I was referring to.

This place is too expensive.

I want to eat this meat, though.

Just eat it when I buy it for you.

But, I've never been to a place like this before, so...

I don't know what's what.

At times like this, come here.

No matter what, act like you've been here often.

Act like you're familiar with everything.

You've seen it in dramas, haven't you? Just do it like that.

Dramas?

- That's right.- Okay.

Are you ready to order?

I'll have my usual.

Pardon? The usual?

Ah, that? The course we always eat?

So, you must not have worked here very long.

That thing we had before, right?

What was it, Course B?

Ah, yes. I'll have it prepared for you.

That wasn't right, was it?

No, no. That was it. You did great. That was it.

This isn't something you spread out.

Ahn Joong hee, that—

Has he made up his mind to create a scandal?

- Honey, go sit at our seat. - Yes.

Please take care of her.

You're supposed to wrap it around your neck like this.

Like this. I'm serious.

You're playing with me, aren't you?

I'm not.

Actor Ahn, what brings you here?

But who are you with?

Intern?

Hello, Chief Director.

Yeah, it's been a while.

You came with your manager. And here I thought...

Something good happened to me today.

We came to have some meat.

Ah, I see. Enjoy.

- Enjoy your meal. - Yes.

See you.

Have a seat.

Goodness gracious.

Actor Ahn?

What's the occasion? Such an expensive place?

Together with just your manager?

I came because I wanted to eat this.

How can I eat alone here?

And also, something good happened today, so to celebrate, too.

So, two birds with one stone.

Tell me honestly. It's rather obvious.

You like Intern, don't you?

Ah, why are you saying that again?

I said I don't. She's my younger sister.

Do you know what is the best-selling cider in our country?

It's Oppa-Dongsaeng "cider" (homophone: "relationship"), you punk. (I.e., oppa + little sister relationships are very common)

I don't buy it. Do you think I'd fall for that?

Your eyes looking at Intern was "melo." (melodramatic)

Melo, romance.

Agh, this is driving me crazy.

Chief Director Kang, she is really my little sister.

Blood relation, "sister."

What did you say?

Chief Director Kang, I found my real father.

And Intern is his daughter.

So she's my real younger sister. Satisfied?

Hey, why are you just telling me that now?

I should have known even if nobody else did.

Who else knows?

Nobody knows except my father's family.

This is my personal life. Pretend you don't know.

Hey, Joong Hee.

In any case, stop with the useless suspicions.

I'm going.

Hey!

They're really family?

But, these, his eyes...

What melo eyes?

- You're late today.- Oh, it's because I was exercising.

Sorry I wasn't able to give you a birthday present this morning.

Not at all, it's okay.

This is some spending money. It isn't much.

Um, I thought about what to give you.

And when I thought about it, my kids seemed to like it the most when I gave them spending money.

It really isn't much and I feel embarrassed to even put it in an envelope like this.

But still, buy yourself something good to eat.

Thank you.

Happy birthday.

Joong Hee.

Then, get some rest.

Father,

thanks for the spending money.

Sure.

But it really isn't much at all.

Thanks.

I don't think this is going to cut it.

I feel the same.

- Deal?- Deal.

Must we go through all this just to get married, Sunbae?

Let's give it up.

Should we? That's not a bad idea.

Let's give it up, Sunbae!

This is so dirty and petty that I can't take it any longer.

It's not like I'm crazy about getting married, anyway. I can't put up with it any longer.

Yeah! Let's give it up!

I don't like persuading and groveling anymore, either!

- Let's give it up! - You're serious, right?

No going back on it later!

I already told my mom yesterday that I wasn't getting married.

I've made my declaration!

Yeah! Good going! Don't do it!

Hey, if I don't get married, who's the one who gets a headache over that, anyway?

The elders are clearly mistaken over this matter.

We are the only ones who have a stake in our lives.

Parents no longer have a stake in their adult children's lives!

Why the heck do they insist on clinging to us, unable to cut the cord?

Please cut the cord, and become independent!

Cut the cord and let us be independent, too!

Why do they shout and demand persimmons and jujubes when their children get married, anyway?

That's right!

Let's just keep dating like this.

I was wrong.

You're quite sexy, Cha Jeong Hwan.

This noona will love you forever!

Me, too!

Super power!

Super power!

Ahhhhh! Check point!

Check point! Check point!

- Yes, hello.- Hello.

- Good day. Hello, Director - How are you?

Oh, Joong Hee, you're here?

Wow, finally it's your first melodramatic scene today. How do you feel?

- Really good. Let's go right away.- Okay.

Roll 12, scene 43, take 1.

Ready, action!

Hyung and you, the two of you go. I don't find those exhibits entertaining.

Don't you think it would be fun if you went with me?

I suppose it might, if the two of us went.

Cut!

- Joong Hee- Yes!

That's not the right gaze.

Those aren't the eyes of someone looking at the one he loves.

- Let's go with the "melo" eyes. - Yes, I understand. "Melo" eyes.

"Melo" eyes.

Roll 12, scene 43, take 2!

Ready, action!

Hyung and you, the two of you go.

I don't find those exhibits very interesting.

Cut!

Why do you look like you want to pick a fight now?

I said that wasn't the right gaze. Try again.

Yes, sor- sorry. I'll try it again. "Melo" eyes.

Roll 12, scene 43, take 3!

Ready? Action!

Hyung and you, the two of you go. I don't find those exhibits very interesting.

- Cut!- Roll 12, scene 43, take 4!

Ready? Action!

Hyung and you, the two of you go.

- Don't cry now, don't cry!- Sorry.

Roll 12, scene 43, take 18!

Roll 12, scene 43, take 19!

Hyung and you, the two of you go.

- Why do you look like a zombie?- Roll 12, scene 43, take 20!

- Cut! - Agh!

Roll 12, scene 43, take 21...

Ready? Action!

Hyung and you... The two of you go.

I don't find

those exhibits very entertaining.

Don't you think it would be fun if you were to go with me?

I suppose it might.

If the two of us were to go...

Cut!

This isn't going to work. Joong Hee, come over this way.

Play it for him from the beginning of what we filmed.

Ah, Joong Hee, sit over here.

You have to see for yourself what your gaze looks like.

- What is this? When did you film this?- This?

This was a test right before we started filming.

- Hold on.- No, no, it's okay. Joong Hee, take a look at this.

This is the expression. This is the "melo" gaze.

What were you looking at during this moment? What were you thinking?

At that moment?

Joong Hee, try to remember how you were feeling at that moment.

That's precisely the gaze of someone looking at the one they love.

You can do it!

♫ Your voice that I hear when I close my eyes ♫

♫ Your breathing sounds that make my stopped heart beat again ♫

♫ You're the one for me, you're the one for me ♫

♫ Even though I don't know much about love ♫

♫ What fills my heart, that is you ♫
