(Episode 4)
It looks like one of those lunch boxes from a book!
It's so pretty.
When did you have time to make all this?
Did you stay up all night?
No.
Wait for Wan Soo to come.
Sorry, I was busy.
Come here, dad.
Let's eat.
Thank you!
I'll have this too.
Thank you very much.
Pizza's here!
It's my treat.
Everything looks so good.
We're having so much more fun than we thought we would.
Right, Young Shin?
Of course, we are!
I wish we had field day once a month!
Once a month?
That'll be too hard for me.
You look tired from preparing all this.
Kids should have a memory like this growing up.
It'll be sad if all they remember is studying.
The food is delicious.
Thank you for your hard work.
No problem.
Enjoy, Jung Hoon.
Okay! It's so good.
You probably had no idea that you'd be sitting here...
with the kids today.
To be honest, my head's still spinning.
After lunch, let's do the three-legged race together.
Please try to focus...
on the race, even though your head's spinning.
Don't worry.
We even practiced last night.
I told you to keep it a secret!
You guys practiced?
Then you're going to win the first prize.
Who are you running with, Jung Hoon?
Your dad's not here.
Just watching the game will be enough for me.
Can you talk to us instead of just eating?
About what? Do you have something on your mind?
I don't.
Why would I have anything to talk to you about?
Got it. Don't worry.
What did you tell her?
It's a secret.
Kids shouldn't have so many secrets.
Look at the camera.
In 1, 2, 3!
- Say kimchi. - Kimchi!
Say cheese.
In case I had to go to an orphanage,
I secretly asked her to take a few photos of us...
so I could look at them whenever I want to.
The autumn sky today was very nice and clear.
When I did the three-legged race with Mr. Jung,
I thought to myself...
that I would never be able to forget him.
He's helped me make such happy memories.
Hurry!
Oh, no.
Are you okay?
You can do this!
I finished the race second to last.
I was upset that I fell while I was running.
My knees hurt but Mr. Jung was watching,
so I gathered my strength and finished the race.
She asked her to take pictures...
of everyone she knows,
so she could look at them at the orphanage.
She wrote that in her diary too.
She's organizing everything for when she leaves,
but she doesn't show any signs of sadness and smiles all the time.
I'm both proud and sad for her.
You're planning to let her stay until this semester, right?
Yes.
I can't make her switch schools in the middle of the semester.
Make sure you don't make any mistakes.
They're special guests of the mayor.
They love abalone porridge. Make sure you give them plenty.
Okay. Should I serve them the new watery kimchi?
Let's try them first.
You shouldn't be reading a magazine right now.
I already checked the reservation list for lunch.
Change the cushion covers in the VIP room.
Are you telling me to do that?
Get somebody else.
Everyone else is busy right now.
What are you doing? It's almost time.
If there's even one stain on it, they won't sit in that room.
My gosh.
How picky could he be?
Geez.
You've embarrassed our family.
How could you mess up cleaning the clams?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
There's nothing else that ruins your appetite...
than eating something dirty from a clam.
I'm so sorry.
Our new assistant must have made a mistake.
Who should be responsible for this?
Who?
I'm responsible.
I'll make sure this doesn't happen again with our employees.
I sincerely apologize. I'm very sorry about this, ma'am.
She sure climbed up the ladder now.
Our VIP guests want to see you.
- Really? Give me the dish. - Yes, ma'am.
What are you bringing?
That's not on the menu.
It's a complimentary dish for our VIP guests.
A complimentary dish?
Chef?
- Yes. - I just want to make sure.
Don't accept any tips from our customers.
It'll taint our reputation.
Of course, ma'am.
The lunch was delicious.
You're the owner of this place now.
I can't give you a tip.
What should we do?
It's an honor to hear you enjoyed the food.
We'll serve you with even greater care next time.
She used to go after tips from customers.
She succeeded overnight.
Still, I can't just go like this.
Take this for fun.
I'll put it to good use.
Anyway, Korean people have a bad habit...
of showing off over nothing.
Why are you giving that to me?
You went through a hard time today.
This is unbelievable.
Is she saying now I'm in a position to take tips or what?
Ever since you left the kitchen,
the restaurant's ambiance has changed so much.
She welcomes the guests so kindly.
Today the mayor was so pleased he couldn't contain himself.
Is that so?
People like me can't treat customers that way.
That's true. When people like you smile,
men actually get afraid.
It gives us chills.
What?
Well, anyway.
I don't have that talent.
Not everyone can do that. Only those who've done it before can.
You worked hard today.
Thanks to you, we satisfied the difficult customer.
I'm a bit tired today.
I'm going to bed.
Was that a compliment or an insult?
What talent were you talking about?
Didn't you notice Jong Gwon left upset?
It's a compliment. Why?
Isn't it a compliment to say she's running the business well?
You already got the ingredient ledger. Don't start anything.
You should've seen how she treats me.
You wouldn't say that if you did.
You said you were tired. Why aren't you sleeping?
How about we take it easy with the restaurant...
and have a bit more peace here?
I can't just hand the kitchen to anyone.
It seems you care for more than the work at the kitchen.
I'll consider it.
Everyone at City Hall knows me.
Do you understand what I mean?
Your circumstances have changed, and so should your behavior.
Okay.
How disgraceful.
How could she make me out to be cheap so quickly?
She even had a smile on her face.
Letting her win is winning in this case.
You should've seen her.
If you did, you wouldn't say that.
I heard that she made two or three hundred dollars...
in tips a day as kitchen manager.
I bet she used complimentary dishes that weren't even on the menu,
as a strategy to fish for more tips.
Did she buy all the ingredients for the complimentary dishes?
Why did you just sit by and watch?
Of course, I was worried she'd go to another restaurant.
However, she crawled to me for other reasons.
And now she treats me...
as her employee?
Does that sound right to you?
None of our lives are according to logic, after all.
She got married to my brother and became my sister-in-law.
What can I do about it?
I'm just saying, there's a line for everything.
To be honest, it's true that you took too much for tips.
Do you think I used that money?
Thanks to that money, I was able to go to college,
and our family lived comfortably.
Was it just your family?
All of my family members clung to me like beggars.
Can I get you a drink?
You go ahead.
Now that you've graduated from college,
you think you can try to advise your aunt?
Good night, Sook Jung.
Min Gyung.
Yes?
Are you careless or stupid?
Excuse me?
What do you mean?
You threatened the vendors to get fake receipts,
Instead, you feigned ignorance when they delivered bad ingredients.
Do you think I didn't know about this in the kitchen?
- What? - Even if you don't care about this,
how can you be so careless?
What's on the menu tonight?
It's cold today, so I'm making a nice mushroom hot pot.
That sounds great.
By the way, did you get a thick jacket for Young Shin?
I heard it's going to be freezing tomorrow.
Really?
Do you like it?
Isn't it too tight?
When my grandmother used to buy me clothes,
she'd always buy them this big.
That way, I can wear them long enough.
Then let's get something a bit bigger.
It needs to be bigger.
I think this is good enough.
I'll be able to wear it all throughout elementary school.
This is a bit too big.
You look like a scarecrow.
What's the matter?
I can just fold it.
Someone might think you're wearing your mom's coat.
- Good morning! - Good morning!
Good morning.
Jung Hoon, come here.
Aren't you cold?
Where's your jacket?
The weather suddenly got so cold today.
When I came from Seoul,
I couldn't bring my winter clothes.
Did you say goodbye to your father this morning?
Yes.
On this cold morning, Jung Hoon...
came to school wearing just an autumn sweater.
He said when he came from Seoul,
he couldn't bring his winter clothes.
He told me he said goodbye to you this morning.
Didn't you see?
I'm sorry.
If you needed something, you should have asked me to buy it!
If you're going to be like this,
why did you take me with you?
Call Mom right now and tell her to take me!
I told you not to say that again!
If you hate my mom, then say it to her!
Why do you hate me instead?
Did you take me with you...
so you could take it out on me?
The day Mom said she'd take me,
you just took me without asking!
Let's go buy you a coat.
I don't need that!
I just want to freeze to death...
so you and Mom get what you want!
Then Mom will come.
She'll realize what she did to me,
and she'll cry her eyes out!
I hate you all!
Jung Hoon is a lot brighter than kids his age.
I'm sorry, Mr. Lee.
Mr. Jung bought this for me for when I need it,
but I haven't used it once.
It's new.
I don't need it.
If you get snot on your shirt, it'll get dirty.
I can just wash it.
Now I can wash my clothes as much as I need.
Why do I keep crying?
I'm so embarrassed.
Why do I keep showing you this side of me?
It's so irritating!
I might not even be here next semester.
Why do you worry about that?
Don't tell...
the other kids.
Don't worry.
I didn't even tell anyone about Eun Dong's lunchbox.
I'm telling the truth.
What if your dad buys you a coat late?
You don't have...
to go to an orphanage as you have your dad.
For a kid like you,
you might think that way.
But I hate my dad.
How many kids will think it's fortunate...
because they don't have to go to an orphanage?
What do you mean by a kid like me?
It's not my fault that I have to go to an orphanage.
Isn't that right?
Hey!
Lend me that handkerchief.
I'll wash it after I use it.
That's more like it.
Why are you acting so snobby?
When did I do that?
Your snot is on your cheek too.
But you do act snobby.
Do you know what your nickname is?
It's "snobby bread"!
What? Snobby bread?
Oh Bok's nickname is pork feet.
Who made those ridiculous nicknames?
I did!
You look like a fool...
as you laugh like that.
I'm upset thinking tomorrow will be the last day...
of this semester.
I'm glad you can finish this semester without any problems.
But you're exchanging gifts?
It seems so exciting wrapping up a gift...
that you don't know who will receive it.
Will kids like children's books?
Other things might be used and thrown away.
But as books are on bookshelves even though they're worn out,
I think it's good that they can remember...
that there was once...
a kid named Young Shin...
whenever they read the book later.
I'm done! It's pretty, right?
Yes, it is.
Why did you come now? Everyone is waiting!
Go ahead and take this!
Today is the last day of this semester.
In commemoration of the end of the semester,
we will exchange gifts between us.
Then I will pick first.
(Class draw box)
(Lee Da Jung)
Lee Da Jung.
Jung Hoon will get the gift I prepared.
Jung Hoon will receive the gift...
that Da Jung prepared! A round of applause!
Wow! It's a pencil case!
Hey. Isn't this for a girl?
I didn't know whether a boy or a girl...
would pick my name.
Hey!
Why would you give this to me?
I have a pencil case.
Yours is just an old pencil case.
And you're giving it to me?
Da Jung will be upset.
There's nothing we can do.
A boy can't carry a pencil case with a princess on it.
Then I will pick this time!
Jang Oh Bok.
Da Jung will receive the gift that Oh Bok prepared!
Have you prepared a gift?
Hey!
Why is this so big?
It's good if it's big.
It must be something really good!
Oh Bok.
Did you buy a bag of flour...
as a gift?
Take it anyway, Da Jung.
Still, it's a gift he prepared with his utmost sincerity.
What is this?
Isn't this a pillow?
Hey. Who buys a pillow...
for a gift exchange?
Moreover, this is an adult pillow.
You can think of me...
when you lay on this pillow.
What?
Are you out of your mind?
You want me to think of you out of all people?
Think of yourself as much as you want!
But how could you...
buy a pillow?
Who are you trying to embarrass?
I asked the bedclothes lady...
what would be a good gift for kids,
and she said they'll like a pillow.
That woman probably did that to sell this pillow.
That darn woman!
I won't let her get away with this!
How can you do that...
when you're a parent too?
Of course, I would tell him to buy a pillow.
Would I tell him to buy a sock?
What? Refund this immediately!
I can only give you a refund if there's a flaw!
What did I do wrong?
Do you want to stop doing business in this market?
Are you trying to let everyone know about your stupid son?
He just bought it as I told him to.
Goodness. You wench.
That's right! My son is stupid!
Did he trouble your life for being stupid?
Did he?
Goodness me!
Calm down!
I just heard that my son is stupid.
Do you think I can calm down?
You wench!
Granny, control yourself!
Let go! She must be out of her mind!
Granny, control yourself!
(A Good Supper)
Young Shin doesn't eat well these days.
Are you still jumping rope?
Will you and I fight?
- You ride it first then. - Are you okay?
Why aren't you talking?
I'm dead meat once Jong Gwon knows.
She paid me a backhanded compliment.
Did your family teach you like that?
Why would you mention my family in such a situation?
As you age, you look exactly like your mother!
