Enjoy it.
Excuse me!
[Winter 1960]
Excuse me!
Excuse me! Let me through!
Excuse me!
Well!
Tada!
Eat. Here are more.
Eat slowly or you'll get sick.
I don't care. Eat yours.
Hey, stop dawdling and go on delivery.
Make sure to pick up the empty bowls.
I'm on delivery!
I am on delivery!
[Summer 1970]
The last segment of Gyeongbu Express Way is to open to...
You jerk, what the heck are you doing, eh?
I just want to learn how to...
Come out! Come out, you jerk!
How dare. You rat!
No, don't!
Shut up!
I'm on delivery!
Move aside!
The food...!
Well...
[1988 Seoul Olympics: From Seoul to the World...]
[Ga-Hwa-Man-Sa-Sung]
Your orders are coming.
Here are your black bean sauce noodles.
Enjoy them!
[2016]
[Episode 1]
Are you that happy?
Of course.
This fell into place finally in 40 years.
How I suffered all those years...
Thank you for having gone through the hard time with me.
Oh, honey.
Don't mention it.
Do it gently!
What kind of woman work so roughly?
I am not better than this sign.
Sure I should do much polishing of this.
What are you murmuring about?
Father, everyone's gathered. Come down.
Okay.
Climb down gently!

[Patient Wife, Sook-nyo Bae]
Healthy people...
...make tasty food!
Today is the day we finally make a fresh start...
...at the biggest restaurant here in China Town.
I appreciate what you've done so far.
Make thorough preparations for the opening.
Ga-Hwa-Man-Sa- Sung!
To your positions!
To the positions!
Sam-bong, what is my role here?
Of course, the manageress like a flower.
But I feel like a withered flower 'to receive customers.
You shouldn't feel that way today.
Go get dolled up, okay?
My brother is the best!
Sam-bong. Me too.
Go get a haircut and buy some new clothes.
Okay. Yes!
Are you going to have coffee?
What if Father sees you?
It's just one cup of coffee.
I feel like to drink soju now.
Come on, this is a happy day.
His siblings never grow up, making nasal sounds.
"You are the manageress like a flower."
Making me laugh.
Are you crazy?
Do you even know how expensive it is?
It's all money.
You should be frugal of...
Ingredients have arrived.
Really? I will...
Where is Man-ho?
Check thoroughly if there's anything missing.
Other ingredients are fresh...
...but the bamboo shoots are not. The flesh is too hard.
Most of Chinese restaurants use canned ones.
Only few use fresh ones.
These are not quite bad.
Look. We are Ga-Hwa-Man-Sa-Sung.
What we need are fresh crispy bamboo shoots, okay?
I'll give you two hours. Get us other ones.
If you are late, we will change suppliers.
Don't worry. I'll be on time.
- Hurry. - Okay.
I'll do it.
Will you?
Yeah, that's my big sister!
Hey.
Mom.
She is your wife, not a big sister.
Being a man, do you want to sweat a woman?
That's a very dangerous comment.
You should do what you are good at regardless of gender.
Mi-soon is as strong as Hercules.
Then, what's your strength?
Me?
Handsome face?
Listen. Your father put you in the president's seat...
...on account of Mi-soon.
Please, do it right this time.
Don't worry. He put me to work that didn't suit me...
...but I am a born president.
Don't be silly.
Can I help you? I can do it.
It's okay.
My mom is super strong too!
- Good morning! - Morning!
Good morning.
Good morning!
Hi! Did you have breakfast?
Yoon-ho! What a surprise you are not late today!
Hi, Ji-won. Oh, your gloves are so cute!
Rabbit gloves? So cute!
Sung-ju, you promised me you won't cause trouble today.
Get along well with your friends and work hard. Okay?
Okay!
I'll let you go. Take care!
You're amazing. You memorized all their names?
I see them every morning.
Really? So you volunteer every morning.
Let me introduce myself.
I am a second grader Song-yi Yun's mom.
Hi. Hae-ryung Bong.
Oh, you are Hae-ryung's mom. What grade is she in?
I mean, my name is Hae-ryung Bong.
Time is up. Shall we call it a day?
- Okay. - Well. See you.
Hi, Mom. It's hard to prepare for the grand opening, huh?
You know Father is frugal.
Ha!
He gave his credit cards to his siblings to get dolled up.
Seems you are very disappointed. Cheer up.
Yes. Of course I will.
Hyun-ki?
He seems to be very busy.
I'll ask him though.
Yes, I can have dinner with you.
My mother-in-law comes back tomorrow so I am free today.
Don't say like that.
Your mother-in-law is a great woman.
Okay.
Bye.
The rumors on HS Group CEO...
...Seok-ho Lee's health problem turned out to be true.
The CEO of HS Group was seen in public just until recently,
...so his critical condition is quite astounding.
HS Group has not declared publicly on the rumors...
...about his health.
It is known that a Johns Hopkins-educated neurosurgeon...
...is going to perform a surgery...
Honey, are you going to stay at the hotel again today?
Yes.
Don't skip meals though you are busy.
I want to bring you clothes to change.
Oh, didn't you run out of the medicine?
Mr. Yu.
I'll call you later.
Honey, then I'll be...
Seo-jin, your dad acts really busy.
Don't you think so?
He came out.
Why do we have to hear his condition through the news?
Why only you can see him?
How the devil is his condition?
It was his order.
Are you sure?
There's a vicious rumor that he has brain death.
I think a doctor is coming from Johns Hopkins is a show.
Isn't it the rumor you started?
What?
What you wish to happen will not happen.
How impudent!
Think wisely.
If the chairman passes away, it'll be the end of you.
He will rise from a sick-bed, for sure.
I will tell him what you just said.
Long time no see, honey.
What are you doing here?
These are heavy.
Unless you hid a woman inside, can you open the door?
I feel strange, you know?
My husband doing well without me. I feel useless.
I am not here for fun.
I know.
Mother is coming back tomorrow. Can't you be back?
You don't have to stay near the hospital.
This is a critical moment for Mr. Lee. And for me as well.
Okay. Just eat.
I found the medicine was intact.
The doctor says it's useless if I alone take the medicine.
Take medicine though you are busy.
I made a slip of the tongue. Sorry.
I'll be quiet. Please eat.
I have no appetite.
Go back. I have to go out again.
I was thoughtless.
Hotel chefs are sure better than me.
The food won't taste good after a time. I'll take it back.
Thank you.
I feel uncomfortable with your coming over.
I'll send Park if I need clothes.
Okay.
Maybe you're not interested but,
...my father opens a restaurant today.
He wants you to come.
You are an eldest son-in-law. Call him if you can't attend.
And...
It's been a week since we last met.
I did my hair and got dressed than usual to visit my family.
Though you are not interested, I guess.
I'll send a standing flower to the opening ceremony.
Thank you.
Are you really the president here?
Why, surprised the president is too young and handsome?
I've never seen such a big Chinese restaurant.
It's like a castle.
It is a castle, my castle.
Sweeties, taking selfies like that is not so inspiring.
I'll show you what art is.
Let's see.
Here we go. One, two, three.
One more. One, two, three.
Last one, last one.
Take a look.
You look like Tang Wei.
No, much prettier.
Yeah. I look so pretty.
Enter your number. I'll send you the pictures.
You're mistaken. I just need to send pictures to her.
Mistaken?
On this important day,
...how dare you flirt with a woman?
Didn't I tell you I'll kick you out penniless...
...if you're entangled in women's issues again?
Take it easy, Father.
Come here. Come here.
Then you will hit me.
- Stop there! - Father!
Hae-won, my dear sister. Please stop him.
Hey, Hae-won.
Hey! Man-ho!
Mi-soon!
Please save me! Father is after me!
Come here when I am being nice.
I will cure you of the habit.
Father, this is a happy day.
Honey, please do something.
I didn't even know I'd finish my son on this happy day.
Mi-soon, move aside. Or you'll get hurt.
Don't do this, Father.
Are you siding with him?
That dimwit...
He is my husband and my kids' dad.
Moreover, he is the president of this restaurant.
So please don't hit him or cuss at him before his employees.
Wait. Did I hear you wrong?
This dimwit is mine! So don't touch him.
What's wrong with her?
You know nothing so you are standing by him.
Right in front of the main entrance, that jerk was...
Flirting with women, I guess.
What?
But that's all.
He is too softhearted to cause trouble. You know that.
Though he's a dummy president, if you treat him like this,
...how could he confidently handle his employees?
I will talk to him. Please let it pass just this once.
We will have customers soon. Back to work!
Where the heck have you been?
You should keep your position!
I'm sorry.
Do it right!
How odd.
Why isn't my goddess growing older?
I am. I am crinkly if you take a close look.
Crinkly? Where?
Liar. I cannot see any.
I can't stand hearing you any further.
Are you blind?
She's wrinkly even seen from a distance.
Sam-sook.
It is good to grow older naturally.
I feel pathetic to those who try to look younger with Botox.
Yeah, comforting yourself like that isn't a bad idea.
Excuse me!
I have a very important opening party today.
My hair is too short for an up-style.
Make it look classy and glamorous.
Yeah, a glamorous style goes well with you.
I want a decent style.
I don't want to look cheap.
I want to look my age, with an elegant graceful style.
Yes, a woman should look elegant and graceful.
Just like my goddess.
Well, I wonder if the preparation is going well.
My goddess.
Sam-sook, I was going to open the door for you.
It's okay. Such a dimwit!
Sam-sook. Sam-sook!
She is so.
Not every high school dropout speaks roughly like her.
She should better herself instead of getting a facelift.
Well, never say like that before her.
She is known as a college dropout.
Forgery of academic background. That's a crime.
You're right.
Ms. Han, can you come over here?
Okay, one sec!
It's done. Serve it out.
I think this is a bit too weak.
It seems so.
Displace heavy plates over there.
Mi-soon, can you taste this?
Good.
The sauce is done. Shall I cool it down?
Hold on.
Turn down the gas.
Are the ingredients fresh?
Yes, I checked them.
I think we'll be a bit short on ingredients.
Hi, everyone! Hi!
Mi-soon, get me water.
Me too.
Okay.
Let me taste this.
Good. Good job.
Mi-soon, hurry.
Here you are.
Don't you have ice? I don't drink tepid water.
I feel hot today. I want ice water too.
Oh, okay. One minute.
What are you doing there?
Isn't it hard to prepare for everything?
Are you two going to attend some awards?
I have to receive customers but Min-jeong overdid it.
Why did she need to do her hair today?
She's ridiculous.
You are more ridiculous with the unfitted style.
Here you are.
You want to give a hand?
Yeah, we have a heap of work.
Now that you got your hair done,
...put this on and give a hand.
Mi-soon, follow me.
Sook-nyo!
I have to receive customers at the hall.
Hey!
Didn't you hear me?
Yes.
Why are we in Aunt Sam-sook's room?
Let's get changed and wear makeup before customers come.
Let's wipe the eye of the two idlers.
But if Aunt Sam-sook finds out...
Don't worry. Sam-bong bought her lots of clothes.
I bet she can't even recognize if we wore hers.
My goodness.
These must've costed fortune!
Let's try these on.
Wow, you look pretty.
Look gorgeous.
Mother.
I think you should get changed too.
Yeah?
Yes, I look shabby, huh?
Hey, shall we do an extreme makeover on ourselves?
You know the ad, "Women's change is not a fault," right?
Try it on.
Sam-bong!
Mr. CEO! Customers are coming in.
Okay.
Welcome. Thank you for coming.
Are you here to eat at Ga-Hwa-Man-Sa-Sung?
No.
I took the wrong way.
[Designer Gyeong-ok Jang]
A mother figure and famous designer of hanbok.
You know Ms. Gyeong-ok Jang, right?
Park, you know who she is.
She dressed famous Hollywood stars in hanbok...
...and it made headlines.
Of course I know that famous tannie.
Watch your language.
She is my daughter's mother-in-law.
She really wanted to come here today...
...but since she is in America, she sent this standing flower.
Hi, Father!
This is my daughter, the daughter-in-law of Ms. Jang.
Come here and greet the customers.
Okay.
How are you?
Her husband is something.
You know HS Group, right? He is a chief director there.
When is he going to come?
Father, say kimchi. Look here.
Oh, sweetie.
That is my youngest daughter.
She works for a publisher.
Hae-won, are you an editor?
Father, that's a big fib.
Oh, I forgot to introduce my eldest son.
He is the president of this restaurant.
He is very good-natured.
Also, my eldest son is...
...healthy.
Yes, he is. And uh...
He eats like a pi...
He's not a picky eater.
He got such a wonderful wife.
Unlike women these days, she is modest and thrifty.
She is such a good wife and wise mother like...
Honey.
Thank you for coming in your busy schedules.
Please come often to our restaurant.
Please come often.
Thank you. Thank you.
Wash it off now!
I'm sorry. I should've taken you to a hair salon.
No, no. Why waste money on makeup?
I won't do that even if I have money to burn.
I did it since I got cross.
It's Mi-soon and I who grew our business,
...but the idlers had a spit and polish, acting like heroines.
So I got cross.
People were looking at us only. Then it's a success.
Yes. You and Mi-soon were heroines today.
I feel sorry for Mi-soon.
Living with a great mother-in-law and a wonderful husband,
...my daughter lives in comfort.
I feel guilty letting someone else's daughter suffer like that,
...though everyone has her own lot.
You are a great mother-in-law.
If only you have a second child, I won't have...
What am I talking about?
I think I'm getting old.
You are right.
It'll be great if I have a second child.
So, your mother-in-law comes back tomorrow?
It was thoughtful of her to send us a flower.
Say my thanks to her.
Okay.
I didn't expect to get such favorable reactions.
To the world-class actors and actresses...
...who honored Korea's beautiful traditional dress,
...I'd like to express my gratitude again.
Not only as a hanbok designer...
...but also as a mother figure of Korea, you write books...
...showing great interest in the extension of women's rights.
I wonder what kind of mother-in-law you are.
I think my daughter-in-law should answer that question.
I too was a daughter-in-law.
A daughter-in-law cannot be a daughter but...
...can be a friend, I believe.
Is she your daughter-in-law?
Yes.
Please come here. It won't take long.
Great. Can I ask you a question if you don't mind?
What kind of mother-in-law is Ms. Jang at home?
She has never had an interview.
It's okay. Make yourself comfortable and talk.
She is a great person. There's a lot I can learn from her.
No trite comments please. Tell us some flaws she has.
She really has no flaws.
You were like a different person when interviewed.
You looked so dignified.
Do you really think so?
Of course. Whenever you are on air, I get so many calls.
Lots of my friends admire you.
On such a dignified and admired mother-in-law,
...you brought disgrace.
Did I make any mistake?
I told you so many times...
...not to show fear or lose your nerve before Ms. Jang...
...at interviews except on the radio or newspapers.
Out of your glance and look,
...people imagine things and start rumors.
I'm sorry. I was too embarrassed at that time so...
Stop the car.
Mother.
This is...
Let's not say more.
I'm already tired enough.
[Husband]
- Nice pictures. - My, so funny.
Why, I look alright.
Yeah, you look stylish in a way.
I'm going to feature these for Halloween makeup tips.
It's Western ghost festival.
When they are oriental ghosts.
By the way who is she...
...that she is in every picture?
Take a look.
- She is in this picture, too. - And here too.
Yeah. I didn't know when I took pictures.
Isn't she a ghost of this place?
Cut the crap.
What are you doing?
Aren't you going to clean up?
You think I gave you break time to have fun?
Sam-bong, Sam-bong. Look at these.
You're handsome in real life...
...but you look so cute in picture. Take a look.
You look so cute.
Yeah.
It'd be perfect if Hyun-ki were in this picture.
Stop harping on about that busy guy.
Do you even have such a husband?
Frankly, I feel uncomfortable with him.
He is younger than me but somehow I feel small before him.
He's cocky. He never treated me as an elder for 13 years.
You're just 5 minute older than Hae-ryung.
And isn't he older than you?
You are too boggled to say anything to him.
I'm not. I'm nice to him on account of Hae-ryung.
I'll have him sir me when I meet him.
I will tighten discipline!
Oh, Hyun-ki.
Hi.
Welcome. Glad to see you.
I'm sorry I couldn't come yesterday.
Actually, we were talking about your absence yesterday.
That's okay. You are a busy man.
Have a seat.
Mi-soon! Bring some tea.
You have much to tell him. Go ahead.
I have nothing to tell him.
Go deal with him.
No.
I just dropped by. I have to go back right away.
Do you?
Why did you bring so much?
You can visit us empty-handed.
I'll see you again.
Bye, Hyun-ki.
How come he didn't even sit?
You are so. Didn't you hear him?
He is busy.
People might think a king deigned to visit us.
Maybe you don't care but I too am going to work.
I'm leaving too.
Wait.
Give him some of the presents Hyun-ki brought.
No, Sam-bong. It's okay.
Hurry. He likes meat.
Such a meat-lover couldn't have meat when little, so...
What?
What are you murmuring at?
Okay, okay.
I'll give him all the pricey foods we received. Okay?
Not all. Just a little will do.
Hae-won, get going.
Okay. Bye!
There's abalone too.
Take care!
[Airport Limousine Bus Stop]
This is Hyun-ki Yu of HS Group.
I'd like to meet you before the chairman's surgery.
Please get back to me.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Put this on and apply medicine when you get home.
Thank you.
[Husband]
Yes.
I was too busy to answer the phone. What is it?
Nothing. I just called.
Mother said she is with you.
Of course I am with Mother. I came to meet her.
Yes, I am riding with her now.
I'll call you when I get home.
Dr. Seo already arrived in Korea?
I think his flight landed earlier than expected.
He is out of contact now.
It seems the vice prez camp leaks rumors on brain death...
...of the chairman to the press.
Stock price is going down and the execs are agitated.
What do we do?
We must find Dr. Seo and sit him before the press.
What a messy, impressive welcome back home in 5 years!
Isn't it your filial duty to help your father first?
Welcome back home, Son.
It's been a long time.
Are you going out? You should rest from your fatigue.
She has a dinner meeting with the charity members.
Seems you didn't take a taxi.
I could find a bus stop.
I think I told you to discern thriftness from shabbiness.
However you get dolled up,
... your hands and feet show how you have lived.
I told you repeatedly...
...to throw off the vestige of your hardscrabble childhood.
I want my daughter-in-law to look fine and noble anywhere.
But you haven't changed for over 10 years.
How consistent.
So I am very sick of you.
Don't mind me today.
Are you going to be back late?
I spoke with Dr. Yoon.
You seldom see him these days?
He asked if you gave up on a second child.
Of course not.
I was going to see him after I took all the medicine.
Is it true Hyun-ki stays at a hotel?
What's the use of good medicine? It's all up to you.
Are these all to go to the clinic in Choon-cheon?
Yes.
It's a lot. When will you come back?
When I want to. Switch off.
Seems you have a lover there.
How did you know?
Just practice in Seoul. You are not young anymore.
Blame the popularity. Excuse me.
So many idle people.
[Dr. Sung-hoon Kim]
Dr. Kim!
Thank you for your valuable time.
You're welcome.
It's about Mr. Lee's surgery. Sure I should make time.
Dr. Kim, long time no...
I am Hyun-ki Yu, the chief director of HS Group.
I don't need to introduce myself, do I?
I think it's you, not Dr. Kim, who made me come here.
Forgive my rudeness.
If you want to complain, come to my office later.
Dr. Kim, I won't forget this invite.
Then I'll let you talk.
24 missed calls, 7 text messages.
I feel strange receiving such attention.
Do you have feelings for me?
If ignoring calls while you count them...
...or talking a silly joke when we've just met is arrogance...
I mean, confidence of a genius, I'll bear with it.
Alright. Now that we met, I'll hear you.
The surgery is two days away.
Why were you anxious to see me?
A suite room key in this hotel.
For your best condition for the surgery,
...free accommodation and vehicle will be provided.
If there's anything you need, ask my staff on standby 24-7.
You'll be rewarded enough after a successful surgery.
Your lobbying is not my style.
I only want to provide the best service for the best doctor.
And...
Now you cut the cackle?
Please do a brief interview tomorrow morning.
I will draw up contents.
"You don't need to worry about Mr. Lee's condition.
He will get well soon after a surgery."
You can expect that scope of comments.
Are you asking me to tell a lie?
It's not a lie.
Because you will succeed the surgery.
Even if we fly high freely
...into the sky, don't be scared
Seo-jin, isn't my singing worse than before?
I haven't practiced much.
Wait a little. I will practice harder and sing it well.
Yes, Hae-won.
Hyun-ki was there?
When his company is on high alert,
...I think it wasn't easy for him to make time.
Be nice to him when he's back.
You know Mom and Dad fall at his feet. They were so happy.
Is it true Hyun-ki stays at a hotel?
What's the use of good medicine? It's all up to you.
It is worth operating on a CEO.
I'm glad you like the room.
I didn't say I like it.
Have you always been arbitrary like that?
Is there anything more you want?
Well, can we talk later?
You can use all the amenities and facilities in the hotel.
HS will absorb all the charges, so feel free to use them.
Your outfit for an interview tomorrow.
I've prepared them just in case. I think I did it well.
Enclosed is the list of expected Q&As tomorrow.
Go over it.
Is there anything you need now?
Wine, women?
I can get you everything except those two.
I'll think about what I want through the night.
I'm staying at Suite 3506.
Call me if you need anything. Good night.
He is not docile. Watch his moves and report to me.
Yes, sir. Your wife is in your room.
Honey.
Is this out of style?
I was just reminded of our honeymoon.
I feel funny.
I am nervous.
I know you told me not to come but...
Are you upset?
No.
It's the day you become a different woman once a month.
What would people call this?
Tenacity for a baby? Or maternal love?
Are you criticizing me?
Not at all.
I'll take a shower.
[Medical Record Copy]
I called a taxi for you. Sleep at home.
You didn't have to. I need to hurry down.
I don't mean anything.
My subordinates will come early in the morning.
I didn't mean to stay over.
Mother is back so I can't sleep out.
Oh, Hae-won called me. You visited my parents?
Take care.
Yes, Mother.
Are you having a good time with Hyun-ki?
Of course, I am with him.
Of course I am with Mother. I came to meet her.
Okay.
She lies without scruple.
Even if we fly high freely
...into the sky, do not be scared
I sang in tune. You sing.
Even if we fly high freely into the sky
Like this.
That's exactly how I sang.
Hey, are you being mean to me since I'm a bad singer?
Honey, didn't I sing just like him?
Not at all.
Give it to me.
No, no.
Don't shoot me. No.
I have my portrait rights.
Son, your mom is tone-deaf.
Then you sing.
Yes, Dad. Sing.
Unless there are more than a million people in the audience,
...I don't sing.
What is he talking about?
I will sing again.
Even if we fly high freely...
...into the sky
Don't be scared
Son, did I sing like you?
You didn't!
Even if we fly high freely...
Healthy people...
...make tasty food!
Today is the real beginning of our business.
Let's receive customers with passion.
Ga!
Hwa-Man-Sa-Sung!
I'll get the door.
Whose baby is this?
Baby, who are you?
Maybe a ghost of this place?
Cut the crap.
Se-ri.
Se-ri?
Man-ho.
This baby is...
...your son.
Man-ho?
Man-ho Bong, my son?
Hey, what is she talking about?
What did you do to her?
Everybody be quiet!
Something happened between you two?
I didn't do that shameful thing by myself.
You such...
You should comfort those who deserve to be pitied.
Will you come with me to the kid?
Can you really get me everything I want?
Did Man-ho cause trouble while I was away?
His mistress gave birth to a child.
I'll kill him.
Se-ri!
Can't you give comfort to me?
Haven't we met long before?
Seo-jin! No, Seo-jin! Seo-jin!
