I heard you're living with two kids.
Yes, I heard you were never married.
Are you okay with the fact that I have two kids?
I love kids.
Really?
Try living with them for a day.
Your life will become chaotic.
If you're a school teacher,
that means you'll never get fired.
I'm still a short-term teacher, so I wouldn't say the job is stable.
But once you become a full-time teacher,
you'll get to receive a huge pension after you retire.
Do you live in an apartment?
No, I live in an old house.
If you build a bigger building to replace your house,
I bet it will cost a lot.
The house will get torn down soon.
I don't plan on doing that anytime soon.
It must be really lonely for you to raise your kids in that house...
without a husband.
- No, I'm not really... - If I join you guys,
it'll become a perfect family.
I'll be a dad who spends quality time with the kids.
I see.
I'm guessing you already have all the necessary furniture,
so I can go empty-handed, right?
If you're okay, I'd like to start living with you before the wedding.
- What? - The thing is,
the landlord asked me to move out this month.
Do you mean...
I live in a one-room studio,
and he wants me to leave because I'm behind on rent.
He's so cheap.
I knew it.
So if we get married,
you're going to come empty-handed?
Yes, that's right. I thought you needed a father.
Isn't that why you're here?
Well, yes. But...
Should I move in with you tomorrow?
Listen. I had fun today.
But I think I should go now.
Are you looking down on me because I don't have money?
What?
If I were rich and handsome,
why would I be willing to meet a woman like you?
Don't tell me you came here...
wanting to meet a man who's both rich and handsome...
when you're a woman with two kids.
Gosh, are you serious?
Hey, lady. Let me give you a word of advice.
You'll never be able to meet a guy like that.
Excuse me for a second.
Hey.
Hey, wait.
Did you follow me?
Why would I follow you to your blind date?
It was a coincidence.
What did I tell you?
I told you he'd be weird.
If he were normal, he wouldn't be here.
Are you trying to say...
that I don't deserve to meet someone normal?
Is it a sin that I have two kids?
My kids are kind, polite, and smart.
They're not just baggage to me.
No matter how rich and handsome a guy may be,
I don't want to be with a guy...
who thinks of my kids that way.
When did I ever say that?
I just meant that it won't be easy for you to meet a guy.
You don't need to tell me. I'm already realizing it myself.
So just stop.
Okay, fine.
I'll tell the family.
So just pretend like you don't know anything.
Okay.
You came back early.
The date must've ended really quickly...
seeing that you even went grocery shopping.
- Yes. - How was he, Mom?
It turns out he had photoshopped that photo of himself.
He was really ugly.
Min Ji, are you okay with having an ugly dad?
No, no way.
I'll try to meet someone handsome next time.
Okay.
Was he that bad?
He told me he's behind on rent...
and wanted to move in as soon as possible.
What?
If I marry him, I'd have to be the breadwinner.
My goodness, forget it.
You're already busy taking care of two kids.
You don't need another person to take care of.
Looks don't matter that much when it comes to marriage.
That only lasts for a short time.
They all look similar once they grow old.
But why do I feel so uneasy?
Every time I meet a guy,
I always find myself feeling so unworthy,
and I'm not happy with how they talk about my kids...
like they're some kind of baggage.
Do I need to keep doing this?
You can stop meeting guys if you don't think it's right.
I shouldn't have made a big announcement to the kids.
I heard Ms. Lee was here recently.
What did you two talk about?
- Nothing much. - Why would a team manager...
come to the chairman's office to talk about something unimportant?
She wanted to talk to me...
about the reorganization of the PR team.
That's why she was here.
What is it? Why do you look so hesitant to speak?
What do you think of Ms. Lee?
What do you mean?
I just want to know what you think of her.
Why are you suddenly asking me about her?
Ms. Lee was the woman he was supposed to meet...
on that blind date seven years ago.
What?
Suk Hwan likes Ms. Lee.
But she's not interested in him.
Is she seeing someone?
She told me she isn't.
Then what's your point?
Are you trying to make Suk Hwan stop liking her?
Or are you trying to help them get together?
Why does he have to like Ms. Lee...
when there are so many other women with better backgrounds?
What do you think?
I think Ms. Lee is good enough.
Do you seriously mean that?
Would you have said the same thing if it were for Suk Joon?
I was a fool to have expected anything from you.
Honey.
Don't you have anything to say to me?
What do you mean?
Never mind. It's nothing.
I heard some women who are financially stable...
are okay with marrying a guy...
who doesn't make that much money as long as he's nice.
They offer to be the breadwinner...
while the guy raises the kids and takes care of the house.
I can't believe people like that actually exist.
My dream is to become a woman like that.
But in real life, I'm just desperate...
to become a full-time employee.
Why isn't Min Ho home yet?
He called and said he'll be home right after the academy.
The lodger isn't here either.
I don't know if he's going to eat with us or outside.
Mom.
Don't cook for him if he doesn't show up on time for dinner.
He's making you cook twice.
Give me his phone number...
so I can call him for stuff like this.
What are you staring at?
Just give us the questions.
No, I don't do that kind of stuff anymore.
And even if I do, I won't give them to you.
Are you discriminating us?
You gave Seo Hyung a list of all the expected questions.
That's Oh Pil Jeong's son.
Do you want us to beat you up, or will you just cooperate?
Answer me.
I already said no.
If you want good grades, go home and study.
Who do you think you are to glare at us like that?
What? Are you going to hit us?
You're just a jerk who hired a fake dad.
What are you so proud of?
What a funny jerk.
Stop. Don't move.
What are you guys doing?
Mind your own business and go your way.
I'm interfering because I know him.
Stop lying and just leave.
Min Ho.
What do they want from you?
They want me to give them a list of expected test questions.
I see.
How much did you ask for?
- What? - Wait a minute.
You wanted that for free?
You guys, that's the same thing as stealing.
How is that stealing?
Have you ever heard of intellectual property rights?
In other words,
people need to pay you for your intellectual property.
I know what you mean.
If you knew that, how could you expect...
to get those questions for free?
Listen.
Min Ho will have to cut down on his study time...
and analyze the questions that have appeared on all the previous tests.
That requires a lot of knowledge.
But you want to get that for free?
That's theft.
Doesn't it make you angry when other countries...
copy the variety shows that you watch?
That's so annoying.
They just take it without even paying for it.
That's exactly what I mean. Do you get it now?
You'll have to pay 10 dollars per question.
And there will be a lot of them...
since it'll be a list of all the expected test questions.
So that's going to cost you a lot.
Think about it and let me know if you can afford to pay for it.
Then I'll try to convince Min Ho.
You guys should go and discuss it.
And one more thing.
I'll teach you guys a lesson if you ever hit Min Ho again.
Here.
I once sold the expected test questions for money.
And I ended up getting scolded by my mom.
Why did she scold you?
You deserve a compliment for making money on your own.
What's wrong?
My dad's so annoying.
He's going to come to practice again tomorrow.
I think he likes seeing you exercise.
Why? I always fall down...
and get scolded.
I think he wants to become close with you. Cut him some slack.
Then why did he give up on me?
- "Give up"? - He let Mom take me away.
That's the same thing as giving up on me.
He's so annoying.
I'm full.
Thank you for the pork cutlet.
Do you get good grades?
I'm the top student.
How many kids are there in your class?
I'm the top student in my entire year.
But I recently came in third.
Why?
Because we don't have money.
We can't afford a private tutor.
You need that to get the best grades?
Of course. There's a limit to how much I can study alone.
Is that why you want a rich dad?
Yes.
Do you think you'll be happy if you're rich?
Of course. I'll be able to do everything I want.
If you were rich,
you would've moved into a big studio...
instead of the old room that used to be a storage.
We sometimes even saw a mouse there.
"A mouse"?
And it was common to see cockroaches there.
Don't tell my mom about what happened today.
Then can you also do me a favor?
What?
I can't go to the bathroom without a bidet.
Ask your mom...
to install a bidet.
She never listens to me.
Okay.
Tell her you need it, okay?
Okay.
Min Ho, why are you home so late?
Mr. Kim bought me pork cutlet.
Why did he buy you dinner?
We met on our way home.
I didn't say anything.
You should've called and let us know you're eating outside.
Min Ho.
Mom didn't like the guy she met today.
Really?
Yes.
Leon sleeps alone at night,
so can I sleep with her?
It's Jumbak.
Okay.
Give me Jumbak.
Hurry.
I want to sleep with Jumbak as well.
Goodnight, Min Ho.
Mom, can we install a bidet?
Why all of a sudden?
I just want to try it out.
Mr. Kim asked you to say that, didn't he?
Tell him to forget it. Let's go inside, Min Ji.
I promised to ask, and I did.
Min Ji, does it have to be a handsome man?
Why?
Because you have really high standards.
And I'm worried no one might satisfy you.
Then just don't meet anyone...
like the guy you met last time.
Why?
I didn't like him that much either.
(Ms. Lee Eun Ju)
You need to know something about the house owner.
Meet me in an hour.
Is she talking about Oh Pil Jeong?
Are you here to talk to me about Oh Pil Jeong?
What's the rush? Let's take our time.
I only came for that.
What is it that I need to know?
I saw you guys meet in front of the company building.
Pil Jeong...
was a short-term teacher at the school I used to work at.
And?
She had a lousy husband.
She sometimes came to work with bruises.
So I think her husband used to beat her up.
He even got drunk and came to school to ask her for money.
I'm sure life was hard for her.
I think that's why she received money from a school parent.
The school eventually found out, and she got fired.
Are you serious?
Do you think I'm lying?
Go ahead and ask her yourself.
She'll be more careful around you if you mention this to her.
Why are you telling me this?
She'll throw herself at you...
if she finds out that you're rich.
She thinks I'm penniless.
So you don't need to worry.
There are many other ways to get her to settle.
- So just... - Thanks to you,
I was able to learn more about Ms. Oh and her family.
But it's a pity.
If you had told me anything positive about her,
I might've actually believed you.
Are you doubting me?
No.
I'm just curious why you're telling me this.
I told you that I'm doing this for you.
Even so, things will never work out between us.
If you keep doing this, it'll only make me feel uneasy around you.
If you drove here, you should call a chauffeur service.
You guys are growing so well.
Thank you for helping us save money.
She sometimes came to work with bruises.
So I think her husband used to beat her up.
He even got drunk...
and came to school to ask her for money.
The fractured bones didn't seem to heal properly.
But she experienced physical shock in that kind of condition,
and that could've caused the pain to recur.
Who are you talking to?
The vegetables.
It feels so rewarding to grow them.
I don't even do much,
but they grow so well. It makes me feel proud.
What do you mean you don't do much?
You water them every day and night.
That's nothing.
That's nothing...
compared to raising kids.
You should go inside.
Hey.
How about I give you a tip?
You need to be more strategic about meeting guys.
When will you ever get yourself a rich and handsome husband...
by waiting for others to set you up?
Then what am I supposed to do?
First, you need to go to a place where rich people gather together...
in order to meet a rich person.
Where is that?
Gosh, where do I start?
I know a place.
Our company is hosting a styling class,
and there will be VIP customers there.
Some of them are rich and single,
so why don't you search there?
Isn't it somewhere weird?
Not everyone is allowed to attend that event.
Then what's the use?
I won't be able to get in.
Okay, fine.
I'll do you a favor since I offered to give you advice.
I'll get you a seat there.
But you need to dress up when you go there.
How?
There's so much to teach you.
I'll help you pick out an outfit since I offered to take you there.
Let's meet up tomorrow and go somewhere.
Go where?
You'll see.
What's taking her so long?
Eun Ju.
Sir.
I saw a flower shop while driving.
And...
it reminded me of you, so I got this for you.
Don't feel pressured.
I bought it because I wanted to give it to you.
You can throw it away if you don't like it.
You bought it even though you knew I might throw it away?
I wanted to use this chance to see you again.
Even so, things will never work out between us.
If you keep doing this, it'll only make me feel uneasy around you.
Why do you like me, Director Kang?
There's no reason for that.
I fell for you the moment I laid my eyes on you.
I know you lied about having a boyfriend...
because I make you feel uncomfortable.
So I tried to stop liking you,
but I have no control over my feelings.
I know it's hard for you to understand.
But that's just how I feel.
You should go inside.
I should go now that I've seen you.
You should go home.
It would've been nice if the chairman thinks of you...
as his successor.
We're here.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Can you pick out a nice outfit for her?
Something casual but stylish.
Okay, sure. Come this way.
I think a skirt will look better on you than pants.
That's too short.
What's wrong? I think it'll suit you just fine.
But this is a bit...
Just wear what she picks out for you.
Would you like to try them on?
No.
Try them on. That way, we'll be able to see if they suit you or not.
Hey, Ki Beom.
I'd like to attend tomorrow's styling class.
Can you get me a seat?
I guess you changed your mind.
Yes, something came up.
Okay, sure. But are you coming with someone?
Okay.
Is someone coming to the styling class?
Suk Joon just called and asked me to save him a seat.
- Mr. Kang Suk Joon? - Yes.
Why aren't you wearing it?
It's pretty, but it's too much for me.
Then that's what you want to wear. Let's buy that one.
- We'll take this. - Okay.
Don't bother. I'll pay.
Why would you pay for me?
I was reaching for my cell phone.
I spent too much money on this.
I'm wondering if I shouldn't have bought it.
You need to invest in order to gain something.
Just think of it as an investment.
"An investment"?
Everyone puts in an effort...
in order to meet a compatible spouse.
You need to put in some effort if you want to gain something.
What's wrong?
Do I really need to do this...
to meet someone nice?
You said you're willing to do anything for your kids.
Nothing comes to you for free.
Don't tell my family about this.
It'll only get their hopes up.
I'm tired of disappointing them.
I'll just tell them once things work out.
Okay. I'll meet you tomorrow at the venue.
Okay.
I'm going to a school reunion tomorrow,
but I have nothing to wear.
All my clothes are so old.
Why don't you borrow clothes from Pil Jeong?
She has fewer clothes than I do.
I haven't seen her go shopping for the past couple of years.
- I'm home. - Hey.
You guys came home together?
We ran into each other out front.
Where is Min Ji?
She was tired after she came back from the field trip today,
so she's sleeping.
I should wake her up and feed her dinner.
- I'll go and get changed. - Okay.
What's that? Did you go shopping?
It's nothing.
Why isn't she here yet?
I had to come after I finished teaching.
I'm not late, am I?
Where's the outfit you bought yesterday?
Why are you dressed like this?
The thing is,
Soon Jeong wore it to her school reunion.
What?
Do I look that shabby?
Well, there's nothing we can do about it.
Let's go inside.
(Styling Class)
We've been taking a look at how men should coordinate their clothes.
If you dress up like this...
and appeal yourself to the opposite gender,
I promise you...
that you'll see great results.
Now, it's time for today's highlight.
Let's take a look at how women should coordinate their clothes.
- Everyone, when you go shopping... - The female model isn't here yet.
- What should we do? - This is driving me crazy.
Is she trying to bleed me dry?
Don't worry. Jessica will take care of it.
What can she do without a model?
If I mess this up,
my dad will get really angry.
That won't happen.
I'm sure you've all experienced this before.
But the biggest problem is...
Wouldn't that be too reckless?
The guests might like it even more.
It all depends on you.
Oka, fine. Let's give it a try.
It'll be a new challenge for me.
The biggest problem is that all clothes seem nice...
when they're worn by a model.
So today, we're going to show you how stylish...
an average person can become just by wearing our clothes.
There's a lady wearing a cardigan over there.
Me?
Yes, why don't you come on stage?
No, it's okay.
(Mom Has an Affair)
Ms. Oh Pil Jeong, come on out.
I thought she wanted to kick him out.
When did they become so close?
Why did you bring her here?
Maybe they became close since they live together.
What if they fall for each other?
Where in the world is she? Why isn't she home yet?
Is it because of what happened yesterday?
Mr. Park, it's me.
I want you to carry out our plan tomorrow.
My dad is finally showing his true colors.
You're going to make Suk Joon move out of there?
Yes.
