(Guidelines were strictly followed when filming with children.)
We took out a loan with this house as collateral...
and have already maxed out on our loan limit.
What should we do now?
You don't have any money saved up, right?
My goodness. I have no money.
I'm dead broke.
Is there anyone who can loan us some money?
I'll ask around too, so cheer up. Okay?
They say there's always a way out,
no matter how difficult the situation may seem.
Why is it...
that there isn't a single day when I don't have to...
worry about money?
This is the only gift from my husband...
that I still have.
My goodness.
Don't be sad that I took off my wedding ring.
There.
Oh, boy.
Goodness, my back.
My back is killing me.
Gosh, my back.
Just go to Seoul and undergo surgery.
It's not like surgery is free.
What are your children for?
Ask your daughter to pay for your surgery.
My daughter, Hee Sook, paid for my surgery.
I feel so much better now, thanks to the surgery.
Look, I can even rotate my waist like this.
Oh, come on.
It's not like you won't fit in your coffin with a hunched back.
Age gracefully, will you?
I want to live as long as I can.
I have to live with this body until the day I die,
so it is nice to feel light in it. Am I wrong?
Even in the afterlife,
I want to dance like this. Okay?
Rotate like this
Right. My back hurts a bit, but it's no big deal.
I will die soon, and my body will rot away.
I don't want to make my children suffer...
just to fix my spine.
My children...
I want them to live comfortably without having to worry about money.
Then I wouldn't have anything more to hope for.
(Use it well.)
Oh, I'm tired.
I can't believe you, Mom!
Am I a beggar?
- What? - Am I a beggar?
Why would you leave this here?
Why would you, Mom?
I'm telling you! I don't need it!
I don't need your money!
Why? What about Grandma?
- Why, Mom? - What's going on?
What...
What is it?
I have to go and see your grandma.
Mother went home?
Yes, she did!
She must've thought we lived so pitifully.
She even left her gold ring here!
How pathetic did we seem to her?
Oh, dear. What are we to do?
Go and talk to her.
- Oh, goodness. - Go with her.
Geon, come on!
I want to eat some pears.
So, we're going to take a few from here.
What? But that's stealing.
Hey.
The owner of this orchard is the cousin of my mom's in-laws.
In other words, we're family.
And what do families do?
You share everything you have.
Forget it.
We'll go over there,
pick some pears,
and run outside the village.
Got it?
The first time...
is always hard.
I know...
exactly how you feel.
However, be brave and courageous.
Let's go!
You go to that tree there.
I'll take this tree here.
Who's there?
You little rascals.
Wait right there.
Little rascal.
I ought to scold you.
Come here.
Maeng Ggong.
Are you doing well?
Hello.
Gosh, what do I do?
- Oh, my! - Goodness!
Hey.
Look where you're going.
Ms. Eom, are you late again?
What will you do?
Are you seriously going to quit your job?
Oh, dear.
Hey, don't be like that.
Do you know why I drank so much last night?
Gosh, how could you introduce me to such a quack doctor?
Oh, my stomach.
Wait, so...
What did that doctor say?
He said my uterus was going to close up shop in a few days.
Oh, no! You didn't even get to use it properly.
Hey!
Just you wait.
I'm going to prove that he's a quack.
I'm going to have a baby.
So, I'm going to show that quack.
"See? You were wrong. Me?"
"I'm having a baby!"
Don't eat too much.
You can gain weight easily at your age.
You should manage your weight.
I'm still your doll, aren't I?
Can't I even nag you this much as your mom?
If I can't even eat,
why did you call me to an expensive restaurant?
Don't put everything in your mouth just because it's expensive food.
The more expensive it is,
the less you should eat.
The amount you leave on your plate shows how much money you have.
Whatever.
Here.
Take it.
(Personal Details)
Okay? Here.
I made myself clear. I'm not going on that date.
I'm not interested in an arranged marriage.
Do you think marriage is some sort of hobby?
Do you want to recommend marriage to me...
when you live like that yourself?
Have you ever loved Dad?
And does Dad love you?
- What is that? - Who told you to love anyone?
Just get married!
So I can sleep with my back turned and a knife in my hand?
And wonder when I should stab him...
or when I might get stabbed?
No, I won't live like that.
I got you a membership at an aesthetics shop.
Go and get yourself dolled up before your date.
Do you work overtime these days too?
Goodness, I thought things might get better...
if you became a manager.
Staying up all night is the worst thing for your skin!
I'm not going on the blind date.
You let him know yourself.
He's the grandson...
of your company's Chairwoman Hwang.
The only heir.
I bet you'll go.
I know you really well.
You have greed,
and you're burning with ambition.
What?
This is still here.
Wait, was I this small?
What are you doing?
Oh, I'm not some weird person.
Right, I know the kid who lived here years ago.
The kid who lived here years ago?
Then, are you Geon?
That was my name when I was young.
- Do you know who I am? - Goodness.
All of these walls have nothing...
but Gong Hee and Geon written on them.
Why are you so surprised?
Come here and look. Right here.
"Gong Hee" and here. "Geon is a poopy head."
(Gong Hee is a fool. Geon is a poopy head.)
But they...
moved away a long time ago.
Where to?
I'm not sure.
They left so suddenly,
so I don't know where they went.
By the way,
why are you looking for them?
Did they run off with your money?
Oh, it's not about money.
Well...
Shall I say half of my heart was stolen?
Mom!
- Mom. - Oh, my. What in the world?
You came all this way?
Mom.
Why are you being like this?
Oh, I forgot that I had left the chili peppers outside.
That's why I came down early in the morning.
If I had told you,
you would've told me not to bother with the chili peppers.
That was why I just came home.
Why are you doing that? You'll hurt yourself.
Do you think this hurts? No, it doesn't.
You're the one who drove a stake through my heart.
What do you mean, I drove a stake through your heart?
What is this, then?
When did I tell you that I needed money?
Can't I give my daughter an allowance as a mother?
It's not even that much. You should use it where you need.
Mom!
Why did you leave your ring, then?
Dad snatched you up and married you...
when you didn't even know what he looked like.
Then he died first and left you behind alone.
Why did you love him so much that you wore the ring all your life?
And why did you take it off?
My goodness. Wait until you get to my age.
Rings feel heavy and uncomfortable.
Goodness.
How did you take it off?
You always wore the ring, for decades.
The ring is like an inseparable part of you.
I have a way.
Mom!
Seriously, why are you doing this?
Must you make me feel so miserable?
Why do you have to...
make me look like such a horrible daughter?
Mom, if you leave like that...
How do you think it'd make me feel?
Why are you crying?
Why would you cry over something like this?
Stop crying.
I feel so miserable, and it's driving me crazy.
You're not the only one who's worried about money.
Everyone worries about money.
Do you think wealthy people have no worries?
They worry about money too.
Why would rich people worry about money?
That makes no sense.
Even if life is tough,
don't cry. Just keep going.
Don't look up. Try looking down.
So many people are struggling...
way more than you.
Just keep on living your life,
and things will work themselves out.
You're watching another documentary about animals?
Aren't you getting sick of it?
Hey, why didn't you go with Myung Ja?
She said she wanted to go alone.
Even so, you should've gone with her.
Well, I don't know.
Anyway, why did her mother...
suddenly leave in the morning without even telling us?
Do you know why she left?
Well, I don't know.
Hey, seriously!
When I ask you a question,
can you make an earnest attempt to answer it?
You just keep saying, "I don't know."
Is that all you can say?
My gosh. You really frustrate me.
No wonder the dumplings keep bursting.
It's all your fault!
My goodness.
Hold on.
When Myung Ja's mother was here,
the landlord came by and talked about the rent increase.
Oh, no. Did she hear it?
Gosh, forget it.
Gyeong Sol has moved out of the rooftop room,
so we're going to rent it out.
What about you?
Hey.
You need to do something too.
Do what?
Either find a way to borrow some money,
or close down this business.
Make your choice!
I made one choice in my life...
that decided my fate.
What do you mean?
You made a choice? What kind of choice?
I chose Kang Myung Ja.
Goodness gracious.
Why am I even talking to you?
I shouldn't waste my breath.
My goodness.
Dear me.
What? Oh, hello.
Well...
Do you need something altered?
Well...
No, that's not why I'm here.
My wife is mad at me, so I want to do something for her.
You seem very knowledgeable,
so I'm here to ask for help.
Well...
Buy her flowers.
Flowers?
Yes.
What's her favorite flower?
Well, that's...
I've never bought her flowers.
My goodness.
I must say, that is horrible.
Do you think flowers...
will cheer her up?
Yes, of course.
Don't you know the poem by Han Min Bok?
"When you walk up to a flower,"
"its gentle grace penetrates into your heart..."
"as it melts away all your anger and resentment..."
"and instantly brightens up your heart."
It's called the floral acupuncture effect.
The woman holding the flower...
looks even more beautiful than the flower itself.
My goodness. I can't believe you've never experienced it.
Jayce Hotel Coffee Shop at 6 p.m.
Ms. Kang.
About our B line,
you said we should find a new model.
The agency called.
They asked if we'd have time for an interview.
Oh, about that. We're looking for a very specific image,
so we should meet the model in person.
The thing is, the model will be abroad for a job,
so they asked if we could meet this evening.
This evening? What time?
They can meet at 6 p.m.
At 6 p.m.?
I want someone on our team to meet the model.
Oh, I have a design meeting with our subcontractor,
so I'll be going straight home from their office.
Ms. Eom?
I have a doctor's appointment.
Can't you reschedule it? This is very important.
I'm dealing with a very serious issue right now.
Some quack misdiagnosed me.
So this time, I made an appointment with a very famous doctor.
- It was so difficult to... - Forget it.
Okay.
Gong Hee?
Yes?
You looked like you were very interested in design.
Can I trust your taste?
Yes! I'll go.
I'll go.
Mom, have you been eating or not?
How could I live without eating?
You should eat some meat.
Where is the marinated beef I sent?
I ate it already.
As if. I bet you sent it to Myung Ok again.
You know she's struggling to work while raising her kids.
Please, Mom.
Stop worrying about your children.
Please start taking better care of yourself, okay?
What if you fall ill or something?
What will you do then?
Okay, all right. Let's eat.
- This looks delicious. - Here.
Eat up, Mom.
All right.
My mom lives alone,
so all I can do is nag her.
- Eat up. - Okay.
Why not just live with her, then?
Why do I nag her? What's the point?
(Taxi Stand)
We've already discussed the important stuff with the agency,
so just do a quick check.
See if the model can start working right away.
Check the model's condition.
I'll text you the location.
Jayce Hotel Coffee Shop at 6 p.m.
What kind of job interview is at a hotel?
It's possible that she doesn't want to do this either.
Either way, make sure you treat her respectfully.
This is so annoying.
Don't talk so casually. Speak politely.
You shouldn't talk so casually in Korea.
I know that.
If you cause trouble on the blind date too,
Chairwoman Hwang might just...
She really won't forgive you.
Don't do as you please.
Be nice. Be a gentleman.
Goodness. I heard you.
He grew up overseas,
and his height is around 185cm...
You can do this, Maeng Gong Hee.
She manages the design team at Jayce Fashion,
so just meet her and see how it goes.
Are you from Jayce Fashion?
Yes.
Oh, my. You look quite young.
You manage your own team?
You must be very competent.
If you say that you're a contract worker,
he might be offended, thinking we're looking down on him.
Just pretend like you're a manager.
That's right. I manage a team.
Yes.
First of all,
can you stand up and turn for me?
Pardon?
What?
Is that good?
Oh, right. Are you satisfied?
Could you run over here from way over there?
What?
What kind of nonsense...
Oh, I guess you can't do that.
If you cause trouble on the blind date too,
Chairwoman Hwang might just...
Oh, okay.
Is that good?
I guess you have no issues with running.
When I was in school,
I dominated on the football field.
That's right.
By the way,
you're a little shorter than I thought.
Well, about an inch or so?
What? I'm short? I can't believe this.
Well, could I measure you myself?
I brought a measuring tape with me.
No!
Oh, I'm not feeling my best today, so...
When I'm feeling really good, I'm 190cm tall.
Do you have a lot of experience?
With my face and my physique,
wouldn't it be weird not to have experience?
I'm glad you have plenty of experience.
That's what I prefer.
What? You're just saying that outright?
I thought it would be better for you to know beforehand.
Well, do you have a concept in mind too?
Oh, this is what I had in mind.
A construction site.
An empty swimming pool.
A tennis court! Something like that.
You have plenty of outdoor experience too, right?
I won't have to worry, will I?
Worry?
You won't have to do that.
But I'm not saying that I'll do it.
By the way, while you were sitting down,
I noticed that your bottom was a little uneven. Is that right?
My bottom is what?
A little uneven. Unbalanced.
What's uneven about these?
What?
Compared to the left side, the right side is a little...
It's slanted at a 45-degree angle.
Your eyes must be slanted.
Why are you belittling my bottom?
I've been trying to let it slide,
but you're crossing the line big-time!
I have to check all of this too.
We're going to do things together.
I know, but why are you only talking about...
Gosh, are you a pervert?
What... A pervert?
Yes, a pervert!
A pervert! One who nitpicks about a man's bottom.
You little...
I should be at least 20 minutes late.
I won't act differently because he's the chairwoman's grandson.
Yes, this is Manager Kang Ji Na.
Yes. What did you say?
I sent someone from my team.
I'll call you back after I check.
Bye.
(Heo Yoo Ra, Jayce Cafe at 6 p.m.)
(Maeng Gong Hee, Jayce Hotel Coffee Shop at 6 p.m.)
I sent the wrong location.
Darn it.
Let go. You're going to break my neck.
Let go!
Let go.
You let go first.
Let go on the count of three.
You let go first.
If you don't, I'll cut off blood circulation to your brain.
Hey, this is attempted murder.
There are many security cameras here,
and you've been filmed!
You were the one who picked a fight first!
Let go!
You let go!
(My Merry Marriage)
Ms. Maeng Gong Hee. What do you think you're doing?
Ms. Kang.
I won't let this slide.
I should've just pummeled that rude jerk.
Proceed with the next plan.
From now on, you'll have to earn money...
and support yourself. Become independent.
Goodbye.
Gyeong Sol, you're all I have now.
Gyeong Sol said he found a new tenant.
