(Episode 32)
Why did you call me?
What's this?
Why do you have this?
There are so many girls out there, and you give this to Young Shin?
I thought you liked her too.
Do you think I like her because she's pretty?
I've dated enough women in my life.
I could even write a thesis and get a doctorate in women!
Don't you dare get near her!
I didn't give you a credit card for you to pull this crap.
If I don't have a card, I'll just buy her something with my salary.
Do you know how much I fought to make you the heir of this family?
Why are you doing such pointless things like this?
Later when I earn a lot of money, I should buy Young Shin a penthouse.
My life is mine, and your life is yours, Mom.
Oh, my!
He's gone insane.
He's fallen so hard.
Seriously!
Really?
I have to nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.
Are you saying you're going to try to remove Young Shin?
You should use Young Shin to one-up Sook Jung.
You'll have so many more ways to use her as leverage.
Are you going to tear her down with your own hands?
I swear kids are the hardest things to control in the world.
One day you pretend to love her like a daughter,
and the next you pretend she doesn't exist?
You must be a bit embarrassed.
This is our son, I'm talking about.
What leverage will you have if you ruin Young Shin?
I never saw this coming.
So that's why he's been so insistent on serving!
He's so hollow just like his father.
Still, I chose a great wife.
You plow your way through and end up succeeding!
Thanks to you, I get to be the admonishing father,
and he takes after me and has an eye for women.
Are you teasing me?
Ms. Kim Young Shin, come see me.
Do you have something to tell me?
- Listen while I'm being nice. - What?
Forget about my son.
Sorry, I'm not interested.
I told you I'm being nice.
I said I'm not interested.
After I liked you like a daughter and let you treat me like a mother,
how could you talk to me like that?
I've never relied on you like a mother. Sorry.
So, you're going to keep hanging around Jun Young?
I've never hung around him.
I've always been here.
Then you're going to keep enjoying Jun Young hanging around you?
It's not something I enjoy.
It's rather irritating.
Do you want to be kicked out of this restaurant?
Yes.
What's so funny?
Listen to them two talking and tell me it isn't funny!
Them two?
Using that girl, she played all her tricks...
but she can't fire her herself.
This is delicious revenge.
I don't know the last time I saw you laugh like this.
I haven't had much to laugh about since she started scaring me,
but now I can laugh thanks to Young Shin.
With that attitude, she won't step down easily.
What are you mumbling to yourself about?
You didn't put them together, did you?
Who?
Kim Young Shin and Jun Young?
Does Jun Young listen to his elders?
In my opinion, Young Shin is too good for him.
What?
You like her too!
You liked her so much that you couldn't handle yourself.
It would be icing on the cake to have her as a daughter-in-law.
Icing on the cake?
So what if she didn't graduate from college?
She's great at cooking and has a great character.
She'd be the perfect daughter-in-law for our family.
Perfect?
I can't even...
This is just absurd.
I heard at the Diner...
you studied engineering at a top university.
Yes.
I never would've guessed.
I would've guessed you were a boxer with a story.
I've heard that a lot because of my looks.
But you left Seoul quite young.
I came down without knowing anyone here...
and I didn't even have a plan.
Why did you come here when you didn't have anything here?
I got divorced.
I see, divorce.
Do you have any kids?
I have a son, but we don't live together.
Would you like me to look into a job for you?
Why do you know about so many jobs?
You even mentioned finding a job for Young Shin before.
Somehow I have a lot of connections.
I've decided to treat this life as a time to rest.
A life for resting?
That sounds a bit sad.
I'm not sad about it.
I don't think it's sad,
rather it's quite peaceful.
You live alone,
and you said you only eat dinner at the Diner.
What about breakfast and lunch?
When I have a job, they give me lunch.
What about days when you don't have a job?
I used to boil some ramyeon,
but there are lots of ready-made foods now, so I eat those.
Ready-made foods?
Hello.
What smells so good?
Today's menu is pork bulgogi wraps.
That sounds good.
- Take a seat. - Sure.
What's this?
Isn't it pickled radish?
Yes, it's pickled radish with water.
My goodness, I didn't expect to see this here.
This could be a meal on its own!
It's so refreshing.
How did you make this?
I cut the pickled radish into small pieces, poured cold water,
put chopped green onions,
added some chili powder and sesame salt,
and used a couple of spoons of sesame oil. That's it.
What? And it tastes like this?
It's important to pickle the radishes well.
Young kids don't even know about this.
Lately, even kimchi is being made as flavorless as a salad.
That's right. Pickles need to be salty like this,
and a bit pungent like this too.
It reminds me of the old days.
I'm glad it suits your taste.
Who knew there was such a master here?
I don't deserve that compliment.
I'm not that great.
If I lived closer I'd love to come every day!
If you call ahead of time before you come over,
I can prepare something for you.
- Could you? - Yes.
Then I'll do that.
Thank you.
Take your time and let me know if you need anything.
Thank you.
It's such a moving experience every time I come by.
I never knew the flavor of food could move someone!
The more I see him, the more I can tell he's a fine fellow.
I would've been happy to adopt him,
but I guess this is the extent of our relationship.
I'm thinking of starting a ready-made food business.
What do you all think?
I think that's a great idea.
Many customers ask to take home their leftovers,
but they're disappointed that we don't offer takeout.
We can't do takeout because food-handling problems...
could lead to food poisoning.
Still, takeout is so standard now.
That's why I want to sell ready-made foods.
Not only are they convenient and safe to store and ship,
but they're great because you can easily heat them up.
Ready-made foods are promising since so many people live alone.
Then let's release a few more special dishes at the restaurant...
and then release the popular dishes as ready-made foods.
That sounds good.
Min Gyung, that means you'll get busy.
Why would I get busy?
You're the one who'll get busy.
You seem very confident.
Why don't you fawn on Young Shin to develop another dish?
Fawn on her?
She's sturdy like a rock, so I noticed...
you weren't acting your age and was fawning on her.
Isn't she like a thousand troops to you?
That includes being your daughter-in-law.
What is he doing?
There's nothing to see. Don't look at him.
It looks like he wants to get along with you.
The only thing he can do is...
All he can do is eat, right?
He only knows how to spend money freely.
That's very desirable.
But I must say he's in poor shape.
He looks peculiar. He's no match for you.
Go get some more chopped onions.
I heard everything.
Why would you listen to everything?
I stood there in case you said something worse.
Did you get the necklace back?
Do you think my mom would give it back?
Do you think it's unfair?
Isn't your mom paying for it anyway?
My uncle is.
My mom got lucky.
Write it off as being a good son.
Stop playing hard to get.
I might just stop liking you.
I wouldn't mind.
Jun Young, come out!
Don't even come near this restaurant from tomorrow.
Says who?
No, I'll keep showing up.
Are you going to act like this?
I won't miss a day, and come to work diligently.
It's better than drinking and fighting.
Sook Jung!
I'm raging inside here.
Are you trying to wind me up?
Who is trying to wind you up?
Did you tell Young Shin to develop an a la carte dish?
Sook Jung! I'm not feeling well.
I'm feeling great!
Shall we fire her then?
Then at once, Jun Young won't even show his face here.
Or shall I start talking about adopting a son again?
This is so frustrating!
And so annoying!
Making Jun Young the successor is enough.
Why are you being so greedy?
We can't let Young Shin have our successor in the end.
What should I do?
Goodness, what do I do?
I really hate Young Shin.
I truly hate her!
What do I do?
Aside from her academic background,
we don't even know what her parents are like.
This is absurd! I'm speechless.
You'll lose your temper and get sick.
Honey, calm down!
Why are you here again?
How on earth did you raise her?
Pardon?
Do you know that Young Shin has been hitting on men?
Pardon?
I don't know how you taught her,
but she's not afraid of elders and acting cheeky.
How can she think of getting this from a boy and wearing it?
What is this?
Can't you see?
It's a diamond necklace.
This costs at least 10,000 dollars.
Tell her to take it and leave...
if she wants the diamond so bad.
Take this with you!
That's hers.
My son gave it to her.
Why would I take it? She's the owner of it.
The young girl has some guts.
An 18k necklace is not even worthy for her.
Geez, that woman.
It doesn't matter who you date,
but why would you take this?
It's not like that!
Of course, you wouldn't have asked him to buy it,
but how can you take it?
That's why I gave it back to Mrs. Choi.
Don't mind him.
He's not worth it.
He's always throwing things like this to girls.
Am I seeing things?
This is unusual. Why did you come to see me?
Don't bother me again.
This is a warning.
She's got guts.
Other girls fall for me with this.
Don't you feel proud to think that Da Jung is making her own living,
but also feel empty?
What's there to feel empty about?
In the worst case, if she will earn her own money...
to get married,
I think that I won't be needed.
You went through a lot, honey.
I don't know if I went through a lot or what.
I guess I'm starting to feel relieved.
Now stop at a point where you feel a little light on your shoulders.
If you go out a little more, you get tired out of despondency.
Then, physically, menopause comes quickly.
I think I'm already going through it.
That must be it.
I was wondering what this was.
I didn't know what this emptiness was.
Emptiness?
"Is this it?"
"What else is there?"
I have nothing else to wish for,
but I'm sick and tired every day...
and I don't even want to move a finger.
Back in my days, we were so busy working...
that we didn't even know what menopause was.
First, I don't even want to move a finger.
And I hate everything.
I hate my mother who didn't stop me when I said I would marry this guy.
I see it's very serious.
When my sister said she would marry my brother-in-law,
she frantically stopped her.
But I think she just wanted me...
to live with anyone.
Goodness, Se Jin. Pull yourself together.
I hate everyone in the world, except for my child.
I especially hate this man.
What are you saying right now?
Gyung Soo and Mr. Park are embarrassed...
that they can't even eat.
We're like a family. Who cares?
I'm eating well. Don't bother me and keep going.
I'm also eating well! Don't worry.
I've been so nervous with her lately that we can't go anywhere.
Who knows what she'll say?
Gosh, I'm jealous!
You have a husband to complain about your menopause.
What is menopause?
It's just recklessly feeling lonely, empty,
and melancholy, Yong Goo.
Then...
am I going through menopause, too?
What's that?
I'm going through menopause.
We'll have to protect the Earth later...
and get you married first.
Yong Goo, what are you doing?
You didn't throw that away?
Yes.
I wanted to play it when I felt empty.
I haven't seen this in a long time.
Oh Bok, you need to practice.
The four of us have to play together,
but our group will come last.
I practiced though.
Can't you memorize the notes?
We still have time.
For now, let's play slowly for Oh Bok.
What brings you here, Yong Goo?
Here. This is for the side dish.
That's a lot.
She told me to bring it, saying it will be leftover.
Thank you.
Aren't you going, Yong Goo?
Keep playing. I love listening to it.
Now, let's do this one for Yong Goo...
and play it well.
And play.
Can you teach Yong Goo how to play the recorder too?
Why? Does he want to play it too?
It seemed like it.
Right, Da Jung?
Yes, I thought so too.
Dad, teach it to Yong Goo too.
All right. I will.
Do you want to give it a go?
Me?
But how could I?
It's easy. Kids can play it too.
Here. Hold this.
Put your finger like this...
and hold it here.
With this thumb,
press here.
With your other fingers,
hold it like this.
Then...
you blow into it to make a sound.
Don't blow it too hard,
and play it softly.
Try it.
Next.
This is do,
re,
mi,
fa,
sol,
la,
si,
and do.
You can play it according to the notes.
You might not get it the first time, but you'll soon learn to play.
Come to the Diner half an hour earlier from tomorrow.
I'll come in early and teach you little by little.
This recorder is my present to you.
You're...
giving this to me?
Thank you, Mr. Lee.
Why are you playing the pipe at night?
This is a recorder.
If you play the pipe at night, snakes will come out.
Are you serious, Grandma?
Since there are snakes in the countryside,
we shouldn't play it at night.
There are no snakes.
They say that, so people don't play it at night.
Don't play it for too long. You'll bother the neighbors.
I'll play for ten more minutes and no more.
We shouldn't play it at late night.
Oh Bok, did you wait here for me because you missed me?
How did you know?
Let's go. I'll walk you home.
It's right around the corner. Why would you walk me home?
Let's go when I'm making the offer, Da Jung.
I'm going to have tteok ramyeon with Young Shin before I go.
I'll make you a tteok ramyeon at home.
I've been waiting here for an hour.
Oh Bok, you're being so frank.
See you, Young Shin.
I'll sleep well and come during the day since tomorrow is our day-off.
Hey!
It's you.
You came again.
Can you make me a cup of coffee?
Coffee?
All right.
Hey, Oh Bok.
Did you miss me that much?
That's what I said.
Why?
Do you feel unpleasant to hear that I missed you?
I don't feel unpleasant,
but I'm not honored either.
Oh, fine. I'll never wait for you again.
You didn't have to wait for an hour. You have other things to do.
Is it okay to wait half an hour?
That's too much.
- How about 20 minutes? - That too.
How about ten minutes?
That, I can understand.
Really?
Can I wait for you...
if it's for ten minutes?
Who'd stop you?
The little brother wants to wait for his big sister to come back.
Should I get you candy on the way back?
What was I thinking?
Forget it. I won't wait for you.
Anyway, I do appreciate it,
but it kind of feels icky too.
I'm not sure what it is.
I'm glad you're back to your bright self again.
Do you think work will be fun?
Yes, very much.
You're...
coming around here often.
Don't worry.
I'm seeing someone.
I see.
You are?
(A Good Supper)
Sook Jung, do whatever you can to stop it.
Isn't that what you're good at?
Come clean about what happened so far.
It was Min Gyung's idea.
Jong Gwon, I've made a grave mistake.
I don't need a successor. Take everyone out with you!
Jung Hoon came by the Diner.
Have you lost your mind?
I don't care about anything. Why?
If you had left with him back then,
what would've happened to you and Jung Hoon?
Are you happy?
Why do you ask?
