Episode 5

Omo! Aigoo...

There are still three people between you and the grand prize.

You're getting more and more out of hand.

You're behaving like this even with the fourth prize,

if you really won the first prize, would you be holding a knife then?

You wretch! Aigoo!

- Can you stop! - Ah! Who's that?

- Ah, you scared me. - Omo!

What the hell are you doing in front of a sick person?!

Are you arguing because of money?!

2500 won? 2500 won?! I'll give it to you.

I'll use my money and divide it between you fairly,

so stop arguing, you group of beasts!

Move aside!

If you continue arguing, never come to my house again.

I'm warning you right now. Understand?!

Move aside!

He's so scary, Ms. Kim Young Hee.

He's angry.

What a ridiculous man. Why was he listening to us talk?

Omo... why is his voice so loud, aigoo, why is it so loud?

Yours is even louder!

What are you doing?

Isn't she your family's maid?

Let me down!

We should get you to the emergency room to lower your temperature. It's dangerous to leave it like this.

Will you please... let me down.

Can you stay still?

I'm really all right.

I... I just have a little cold.

In these three years, you've never gained anything from the ahjummas.

I'll be fine after a while.

Oh Gun Woo, do you have the car keys? Open the car door.

I know what I have.

Hey, stop!

Hyung...

What?

Aren't you being too generous?

You're even taking care of our family's ahjumma.

Then who's going to take care of her?

What?

You're right, you should take care of your family's ahjumma.

Ah, your Hyung's getting a backache.

If you're going to push her on me, then Hyung, you keep taking care of her.

You're younger.

Aigoo... Hyung, you're the pro when it comes to carrying girls on your back.

- But your back is better. - I worked all day.

So I played all day? Well, okay, but that's actually more tiring, kid.

Would you please...!

Why did you kick me?

Did I beg you to carry me?

Why are the two of you pushing me back and forth?

You might as well have just left me alone.

Whether I'm running a fever or not, sick or not,

it's really annoying.

Who asked you to carry me?

Who asked you to take me home?

That's true, I'm not blessed with a life where people carry me around.

It's not like I'm a princess.

I'm a maid...

Oh... who are you?

Ahjumma's master.

I don't think you'll receive a kowtow because it's such an overwhelmingly humbling honor.

Was someone going to kowtow to me?

One shouldn't walk barefoot, especially a woman.

How can a maid be considered a woman?

- Who said so? - My mom.

- Then are you a man? - My mom says they're not even human.

That's ridiculous.

If they can't be treated nicely by people, then of course they can't be human.

Ten meters up ahead, we'll switch and Hyung, it'll be your turn.

Take her all the way to the entrance, then I'll take her into the room.

It was so much more comfortable just now.

Why?

Ah... when did your mother pass away?

It's been a while.

So, what did your mother do?

She was a maid.

So what if she was a maid?

My grandmother was a maid, too.

Your grandmother too...

So you're a third generation maid?

Who knows? Maybe my grandmother's grandmother's grandmother was a maid.

So?

That's just that.

Our family's poor, too.

What?

When my dad was alive, he said I was a poor fellow.

Grandfather called me... a piece of trash, and a jerk,

he always said so.

Go to sleep.

Here.

Don't think of useless things like Joseon Dynasty, or the time when Japanese ruled,

all the maids during the Koryo times.

Why?

It's nothing.

Goodnight.

I should go to that house and be a maid.

Da Kyum is really lucky.

Look at this moon.

Really...

- Aigoo, aigoo, aigoo. - Unnie!

Swinging your hips this way and that, only you would do such a thing.

You're dead. Aish...

Stand still! Are you not going to keep still?!

Am I wrong, am I wrong?

Hey, hey... we can't walk like that.

Are you crazy?!

Aw! Hello?

Where are the adults?

Well...

Can you not get sick working in someone else's house?

It's not like she wanted to get sick.

Even though she has to live by other people's moods,

don't make her do it while she's sick.

I'm leaving.

You're the only one who's great, really.

Why don't you cook her some porridge and bring it over?

Is the metal pot your girlfriend?

Did she cheat, or did she fall in love with someone else?

What did she do, that you had to throw her around like that?

It's someone's rice bowl, and now it's all dented from being thrown around.

This was also bought with money.

- Again? - Did I spend your money?

- I spent my own money. - Ah! Aish!

Your eyes are as small as the eyes of mice, and you dare to stare at me so rudely?

Mice have big eyes!

And I'm not making food for you ever again.

They used to say we would never grow grey hair when we were old,

so they would feed us beans with rice,

and now we can never figure out which is which,

or if there are more beans than rice.

What use is me cooking? You don't eat at home anyway.

Ha!

[Joo Won]

Oh, Joo Won?

You haven't called in a while.

Huh?

Oh, that's right.

We went to play golf together,

you're alone by yourself now, right?

Oh, I'm alone at home.

Alone...? Isn't Kang San a human?

Then, does he not see me as human?

I understand!

Ah, cold!

I shoot you, I shoot you.

Hey!

You kid, who are you trying to imitate, shooting a gun?!

If you want to shoot your gun, go outside and shoot

the imaginary dragons, or play with your friends!

How dare you shoot that at me?!

You want to kill me, is that it?!

You kid, how could you be so rude, and shoot at me?!

Come down immediately, and apologize to me!

Hey! Are you not coming down?!

The moment I think of Kim Young Hee...

The moment I think of Unnie...

Hyun Joo Unnie, Hwang Yong Unnie, Soon Geum Unnie, and you.

Everybody gets 2500 won, split it like this.

Forget it.

Ah, this time the lottery ticket from the convenience store won first prize.

150 billion?

All four of us are fighting over 50,000 won.

Who could it be?

Uhm, this kimchi has gone bad!

People who go into this convenience store,

Isn't it mostly women from First Avenue?

What use is there knowing?

Don't you think it could be... one of the maids?

Who?

Do you want to come to Vietnam and get married?

Make me ten years younger.

Make me twenty years younger.

What? Twenty? How old would you be then?

I want to use this money to return to when I was nineteen.

The age I was before I got married.

Those ajummas...

Kang Gun Woo. You...

are fired.

Hurry and get out of this house.

From now on...

I will employ this person.

Mistress.

What would you do first? If you had 100 billion?

I would show of all my wealth and power

to all the mistresses on First Avenue.

All the grievances that I suffered before,

because I didn't have money, I would shower them with money.

Look, I have more money than all of you.

Then, in that house, I will cover the floor with bills,

and make a blanket out of money.

Hey, you don't want to leave First Avenue, you want to stay here?

Young Hee is here, where would I go?

No matter how much money I have, I will never leave here.

It's so hot, get away from me.

It can't be any of them.

If it were, why would they still stay here?

Right?

I can't even eat the ramen anymore.

Hurry and eat it.

What do you mean? Are you saying that only President Jang and...

the two maids are at home?

Then what can I do?

I had such a good dinner, I had to go to the bathroom every ten minutes.

I'm grateful you're thinking about her, but our Ahjumma,

is not someone who will understand.

She definitely won't listen.

I think she was bullied by her ex-husband.

As long as it's a man, she won't look into his eyes.

My husband just told her he wanted a bowl of soup,

and she jumped right out of her skin.

Ms. Hyun Joo?

What do you mean she won't look straight at a guy?

When we were in high school, she must have looked

at all the boys in the eyes standing at the doorway.

It's not like she only looked at them.

In high school?

You went to the same high school as our Ahjumma?!

I'm sleeping.

I said I'm already asleep.

Just a minute,

just... open the door.

I'm not such a casual person.

I know, I know.

There's no one here.

After today...

there will be no more chances.

If we let today pass just like that, we'll regret it...

for the rest of our lives.

There will be no such chances in the future, Hyun Joo.

Ms. Hyun Joo?

I'm begging you.

If you keep doing this, I'll leave this family.

Your tattoo doesn't look like it came cheap.

That is the real symbol of wealth.

To get rich, I've done everything besides use my fists.

President Hwang, what about you?

I...

grab the money... with my fists after I've struggled for it.

I've already deposited it into the bank.

Each bar is about 50 million or so,

there are 219 more, identical to that one.

I don't play around when it comes to money.

They're all right.

Should we make a call back home to check?

That ring...

can't be the ahjumma's, right?

If Big Madam and Little Madam found out, we would get into a lot of trouble.

Oh, I don't know if I should do this.

Why haven't you eaten dinner at such a late time?

Ahjumma won't feed you?

Hurry and come in and cook, hurry.

Come in, the two of you.

Then, I'm going to leave first.

Let's eat together, why are you leaving?

It's been a while since they've eaten with their mother, right?

Eating with a stranger is bad for digestion.

What are you saying...?

Even if I wanted to cook for them,

I'm not in the same situation as other people.

All thanks to Master, I can cook for them.

I won't forget your kindness.

Why are you saying this, in front of the children,

on such a good day?

The meat is getting burned. Hurry, eat.

- We'll enjoy our food. - We'll enjoy our food.

Good. All right, hurry, eat.

- Eat more. - Um...

Mom, I missed you.

Is that so, Min Joo? Mom missed you too.

- How about Hee Joo? - Me, too.

Eat more.

Aish...

You really can be compared to that other person.

Well, actually... it really isn't what you're thinking.

Are you human? Are you a man?

You animal-like fellow?!

- It really isn't like that. - Get out!

Get out! I'm a woman too!

You jerk!

Who said you weren't a woman?

When you look at us maids, do you think we're very easy?!

Staying in a room in your house, does that make me look easy to you?!

I thought at least I was partly family!

I thought, mistakenly, I was partly family!

but now, can I only sleep by locking the door?!

- Aigoo, really. - Let me go!

Who asked you to get the flu,

and sleep without even pulling the covers over you?!

You really can be compared to that other person.

If it's not golf at dawn, I refuse to play.

This is so great.

It's like this is my land, this is my golf course.

Don't you feel great?

Who knows...

The board, club membership, whatever, really.

You don't have to worry at all.

As long as you have a woman beside you, people will say,

"Wow, this man has made it!"

And the feeling will slowly come.

Isn't that so?

Women aren't puppets... to be displayed next to men.

How can you say that?

I know women are only attracted to success.

Hyung-nim, Hyung-nim!

- This can't go on! - What?

Let's go!

What?

Let's go together, let's go together!

Aigoo, let's go...

Mr. Kang, we'll be leaving first!

Let's go! Hurry, let's go!

The water in the pool is great.

I am the wife of President Kang Tae Won.

Are you crazy?

I just came to confirm what your existence means to President Kang.

Using these methods, using these rude methods to confirm, President Hwang?

Why? Why would you want to confirm anything?

Do you think I'm ridiculous?

From the first day I arrived at First Avenue,

you were already in my heart.

I'm sorry.

You're back so soon?

- What happened? - Where's Ahjumma?

In the Ahjumma's room.

But, honey...

His birthday is tomorrow,

so I wanted to have dinner with them before sending them home.

I'll wake them up immediately and send them home.

No, ask them to stay for breakfast,

I'll talk to Hyungnim.

What?

Thank you, Little Madam.

Aigoo... when it's only the two of us, you can omit the "Little".

It sounds strange.

Yes, Madam.

All right, sleep more.

Oh, right!

But President Kang's wife, I heard you guys were high school classmates?

Trophy... Madam?

Yes. You don't remember Seo Yoon Joo?

Her eyes, nose, mouth and chin... all underwent plastic surgery, right?

- Seo Yoon Joo? - Yes.

Trophy Madam is Seo Yoon Joo?

With such extensive plastic surgery like hers,

which friend would be able to recognize her?

Ahjumma!

This fellow, how could you start playing with guns so early in the morning?

You silly fella.

We would like to eat breakfast.

You're here so early.

Welcome.

Ah... I'll do it myself.

Come down after you're done showering.

Hey! Kang San!

Are you all right?

You silly fellow, didn't I just tell you not to shoot water at anyone?

I told you once, you have to remember!

Give me the gun. Give me the gun.

Give me the gun!

You kid, you're pretty strong.

Huh? Give me the gun.

Don't even think about playing with this gun ever again.

Give it to me.

Why are you doing this?

Why did you hit the child?

Kang San is a good boy, don't cry, don't cry.

San did well, it's fine, it's fine.

"You did well, it's fine."

You teach the child this way, that's why he acts like this.

How do you teach the child?

Um... I'm leaving.

He's like that because he likes people.

He's with me every day,

and when he sees such a young and pretty ahjumma is here, that's why he's happy.

It's because he's happy and wants to play together, that's why.

Is that so wrong?

Am I wrong?

Then ask him not to like anyone!

Gun Woo, I'm leaving.

This woman, what did you do right? You're always calling for San, San, San.

Hey!

What?!

Once you're done quieting San down, come with me.

Let's fight after we're done eating.

Right now.

San, go to Ahjumma's room.

Not feeding the child because you want to argue,

you're going to turn and go to work without even being fed?

Call for delivery.

You want me to call for food to be delivered because you want to argue?

You don't have to make food in the morning.

I can just call for jajangmyun.

No, there's rice in the house,

there's kimchi, there's an ahjumma at home that cooks.

Why are you spending money like that, when you have no money?

Just be grateful that I'm not making you work on a Sunday morning.

If not what, this, that.

I'm going to cook for San.

You don't even have 1000 won, you're still talking big.

And my money! The money for your alcohol.

It's been three years. You not only haven't paid interest, you haven't even paid back the principal.

You clearly know there's money inside that drawer you polish every single day,

yet you don't take it, who can you blame?

Are you maligning me for not giving you money?

Do you think... I'm doing it for that little money?

I do think so.

I think so.

Really?

- Is it obvious? - More than being obvious,

When I dropped off your pants at the cleaners,

I saw it.

Your wallet.

Empty.

Then just order jajjangmyun.

I want jambong.

Then, I'll treat.

As compensation for not making breakfast.

I never thought about looking into your wallet.

But it was too thin. I looked at it because I was curious.

It reminded me of my old wallets.

Let's eat.

I said I would buy.

You have to cook for San anyway.

What's a home for, when one half is eating rice,

and the other is eating takeout.

Keep up your spirits.

Ahjumma, can you fatten up my wallet?

Then I'll let you look at my wallet?

For fairness' sake?

You won't have anything, too.

Then we're the same.

We're quite similar, the two of us.

You're happy because of that?

Similar, what?

If you continue arguing, never come to my house again.

I'm warning you right now. Understand?!

Are you all right? You heavy ahjumma?

Yes, all thanks to you.

Thanks for last night.

Why are you suddenly so polite? It doesn't fit you, Ahjumma.

How do I look to you?

People say I look really sick.

Who?

Do I look like that?

Do you want to hear nice things, or the truth?

Nice things.

It looks like you are.

Then what's the truth?

It can't be described with words.

What?

Go in and take a look at the mirror.

How much money you're worth from head to toe.

Did you hear me?

Ah, it looks like Gun Woo must like this Ahjumma quite a lot,

since he said something so nice.

He really is talkative.

I'm making a trip to the market.

Then what will I do alone?

- Are you a child? - What about San?

San is grown too, and is playing quite well by himself.

Are you afraid of being shot by the water gun?

Then shoot him too!

There's another water gun under the kitchen sink.

Later then.

This will be fine if it's thrown on the floor, right?

Do you have to throw it on the floor?

Yes. I foresee it being thrown a few more times.

Those ahjummas are not people to listen to things that are said only once.

- This one. - Yes.

Here we go...

The owner should be here immediately.

- All right. - Okay...

Take a look first.

You use one, too. Didn't you say you lived by yourself?

Why are you here only now?

That lady?

Yes, over there.

Go in, we have to discuss something.

She wanted to know, if it could be cheaper, if she paid the 15 billion in cash.

You're saying...

That's the woman who wants to buy my apartment?

And she wants to pay for the whole thing in cash?

15 billion?!

What's the name of that customer?

No Soon Geum.

I mean,

if she could pay the 15 billion in cash right now, make it cheaper now.

Why are you blocking your face with the bowl?

Ah, really.

When I have no money, there's really nothing to do.

When she paid the deposit, she paid the 50,000 won in cash too.

It seems it's her first time buying a house.

It's true, such a young lady.

Because she asked if it could be cheaper since she's paying in cash,

I asked her if she read the contract,

- because that's illegal. - And?

She said she didn't know, and that she didn't want to break the law.

Really!

She has a lot of cash, that woman.

Shi Ah!

Yoon Shi Ah!

Why? Why won't you come up?

I have to go back quickly.

Do you want me to come down?

Hey!

I bought a house!

Ah, why?

I said not to worry about the house.

And this.

How could I not worry about the house?

I bought meat.

Aren't you tired of eating ramyun?

I'm leaving!

Hey! Is it pork?

Or is it chicken again?

It's beef, you wretch.

What is all this?

There are already a lot of pots, why did you still buy so many?

When you're married off, you can take them along with you.

Are you asking me to hurry and get married?

Soon Geum, what kind of woman is she?

What is this now?

[Gun Woo's Family]

Let's have dinner.

All right.

Dad, Gun Woo's family,

there's San.

Mm, Gun Woo's son.

I heard he's not Gun Woo's son.

Don't they have another man in their family?

- Does Madam know about it? - Everybody on First Avenue knows.

Only the trophy wife doesn't know.

Go investigate what Gun Woo bought after he took out the loan.

- Yes. - Be discreet.

Yes.

Even if he fails and is begging on the street, don't pay any attention to him.

Yes.

Hyung, did yours fall?

What? Hyung, yours are going up too!

Are you putting on a show?

- Show? - In front of me?

In front of you?

It's delicious, delicious.

- Yes, this is Chongchundam. - Is this Customer Seo Yoon Joo?

Are you looking for Madam?

Targeted at our VVIP customers of our mall,

during this sale period, there's a chance to have your hair styled for free.

The coupons have already been sent over.

When you have the time, I hope you'll come patronize our store.

Yes, I understand, I'll pass on the message.

Okay.

Ahjumma!

How can there be nothing to wear?

Can you go get my clothes?

The VVIP department of the mall just...

Hurry!

Yes.

And in future, if there's anything about free stuff, you don't have to tell me.

Yes.

I'm making kimchi!

- Before it turns salty I have to go back. - All right.

Soon Geum clearly said that she wants to give up her share, right?

Take Soon Geum Unnie out.

Really?

Unnie, you look good today.

Is that so?

Yesterday, I slept with two guys, that's why I'm like that.

- What? Really?! - Really?!

Yes, really!

What is this?

Keep it to yourself.

We won the fourth prize.

You have to keep it a secret.

We only won 50,000 won, what secret is there to keep?

- Unnie, those... - What?

When you win those, then you go "sssh", like that.

Unnie, your "sssh" sounds are to encourage children to pee.

Anyway, you have to be fair, each of us gets 12,500 won.

Ah, we have a lot of customers.

Next customer, please.

This, this... We have to split this, what good is it having this?

How much is it, splitting this?

12,500 won.

With that money, we can't even do anything.

Hey, let's just buy something with this money.

We can share it, or we can take turns using it.

I approve!

Ah, I told you that you can sit in the back.

I'm humbled and grateful to even be sitting here.

What's the big deal of acting like a rich madam for just a little bit?

It's just us.

The role of rich madam isn't for everyone.

Madam didn't want her expensive clothes taking the bus, did she?

- Okay, then. - Hurry and come back.

Yes.

Driver Go?

Grand... mother?

Where did you say Grandmother was?

- Team Leader, where are you going? - Secretary Nam.

Hold on, wait for a while.

- Hold on, you come out for a second. - Sure

Excuse me...

They said the clothes will only arrive after thirty minutes, what should we do?

Thirty minutes?

The free hair and makeup event for VVIP customers is currently in progress.

The free hair and makeup event for VVIP customers is currently in progress.

Ahjusshi?

Can I ask you something?

Someone who bought a 15 billion won house,

would she become a maid?

Are you crazy?

Are you insane?

This person isn't normal, right?

Those aren't weeds!

Ah, go away!

Ah, it's the Unnies.

You can't open your mouth right now.

Ten million?

Look at you, ahjumma.

From head to toe, how much are you worth?

You're not even worth 10,000 won.

Customer,

would you like to try it on?

What?

It's a set, with this skirt.

Hey, I think...

we can use this together with Soon Geum.

Soon Geum can wear this along with us too, wouldn't that be great?

You're saying we should take turns wearing a shirt out?

Then, what about the size?

It can just fit roughly, what's wrong?

What about my idea?

Unnie, this blouse is pretty, right?

With your face, everything is pretty.

That one is pretty, too.

Then, originally, how much would all this be?

- Really expensive. - Of course.

Master, the cleaners have already passed the shift change time,

and the person in charge has already left.

- You really saw Grandmother, right? - What?

Well, actually...

That... I can't be sure.

We'll know once we come again tomorrow.

Thank you, Ahjusshi. I'll look a little longer before I go home.

Yes, Young Master.

Grandmother.

Who are you looking for?

- I'm sorry. - No problem.

Ah, excuse me!

Are you referring to me?

Customer, your clothes are here.

I'm sorry to have made you wait.

This set that you're trying on, the total will be 18 million won.

The jacket is 10 million, the skirt is 8 million.

Are you all right?

You look really sick.

Please ring it up for me.

Yes, Customer.

Are you wearing this with you?

Are you not even going to thank me?

Ah, yes...

Ah, yes!

Are you satisfied?

This girl... is really not too bad?

Is this Soon Geum?

I'm really lucky.

Excuse me!

Did you just call me,

when you said excuse me?

- No. - Why did you call me?

I didn't call you.

You clearly did.

Have you met me somewhere before?

- No. - We had coffee together, right?

- No. - Then let's have some today.

No.

I have a coupon.

Don't feel burdened, it's not like I'm spending money.

I've never seen someone who drank ten full cups of coffee in a place like this.

If you get drink ten cups, you can get one cup for free.

You like free things?

Yes, I like free things.

What do you do?

- Why? - Just asking.

Because I'm shopping at this time of the day?

- I do housework. - Are you married?

No.

You don't believe me?

I really just do housework.

For someone who only does housework,

why did you buy such expensive clothes?

- Are you questioning me? - Yes.

For a woman who only does housework, can't she wear something nice?

When would you wear it? You said you only do housework.

I'll just buy more expensive clothes, that'll work.

Don't be like that. Wear them when you meet me.

Stop buying.

You're pretty enough.

You told me to stop buying clothes.

Then, do you want me to wear this every time we meet in the future?

That'll be fine, too.

Let's take the next one.

Please come in, quickly.

Let's take it.

Is she your girlfriend?

I would like to think so...

Can I?

She's really pretty.

Her eyes are so big.

Only our family's ahjumma isn't here.

Soon Geum had something on, so she went out.

- Ah. - Why?

- Do you miss her? - What?

Their backgrounds have to match, too.

Would a young master from a rich family match maids like us?

The standard is different.

Why wouldn't they match?

People are all the same. Aren't maids human, too?

Aren't maids women?

Her voice... sounds like Soon Geum Unnie.

That's right.

Similar, my foot. They are different as heaven and earth.

Our family ahjumma is lazy, and stubborn and brazen.

She uses the child as a weapon to do whatever she wants, and talking back is her specialty.

She's thoughtless and reckless, mistakes herself for a woman, and she's violent.

Compared to our previous maid, from beginning to end her housekeeping is a mess.

Should I continue?

- Let's go tell Soon Geum. - Okay.

Kang Gun Woo's girlfriend is really pretty.

Don't you think she really looks similar to Soon Geum?

That woman just now, the clothes and makeup,

what she was wearing is the price of a car.

Stop spouting nonsense.

That's true. How could Kang Gun Woo and Unnie be together?

You don't have to worry too much about those people.

I already am.

The place we're going to drink tea is at Yeoeuido.

I'm not lazy,

nor needlessly stubborn,

and I have enough sense not to be brazen.

Children aren't weapons; I just consider them because I really like children.

I'm clear about what I should and shouldn't say, and I'm not thoughtless or reckless.

From beginning to end, with a firm hand,

I am good at housekeeping.

How am I?

Your name is...?

My name is Shi Ah.

Yoon Shi Ah.

I can really stay here?

No one really paid any attention to her.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you just move on the weekend?

Give a call to Miss Soon Geum and ask her out.

Do you like that girl?

Do you like our Madam?

Are you saying that the two of us go in now?

Mm, honey.

What did you just say?

What did you just say, Ahjumma?

Why would I be Ahjumma's friend?

I must be crazy.

300, 500.

700.

Wow!

- What is going on? - Yoon Shi Ah.

This is my phone number.
