(Episode 14)
Ma'am, wait!
She disappeared.
What kind of old woman would walk so fast?
But who could she be?
You're back.
What's that?
Did your dad give it to you?
No.
Some old lady came and left this at the counter to give you.
Do you have any idea who it might be?
An old lady?
It must be that old lady.
Who? Who is she?
I met her at your mom's flower shop.
She treated me to tteokbokki and meals. She's really nice.
She must live around here as I keep bumping into her.
Is that so?
But what does she look like?
She has curly hair...
and the way she talks is funny.
She says:
"Goodness gracious."
She has a dialect?
- What are you saying? Get out! - That hurt!
(Death certificate)
Could Ms. Han Eok Shim have come down from the hills?
Ah Ri, what are you thinking about?
What?
Nothing.
Byeo Ri, have you ever received a call from an old lady?
Did anyone call and ask whether Mom died?
No. I didn't get any calls like that.
Really?
Is it not her?
Where have you been?
I just went for a stroll around the block.
You didn't even have your meal. Should I make you something?
No, I don't feel like it.
I think I lashed out at you earlier.
You would have been upset already.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I guess I can't say I don't have any faults.
I wasn't blaming you.
Still,
I did what I could do to save the family.
Back then,
it was my dream...
to move to a new apartment by earning a lot of money.
If I think back,
it was a useless thing to do.
Honey.
Whatever others say,
I thought Ah Ri...
understood me a little.
Right.
You'd be the most tormented person right now.
I will take a close-up shot of you squeezing the greens.
You should squeeze all the moisture out,
so the seasoning mixes well with it.
Goodness. Water is dripping off it. Did you squeeze it?
What a waste that you have big hands.
What is that geezer saying?
Sir, we're filming the process of making our meal boxes.
Where are you using your energy? You eat three meals a day!
Do you have energy lying around after having wild ginseng?
Yes, I do. What are you going to do about it?
Do you want to do arm wrestling with me then?
Don't fight when we're filming.
Shouldn't we stop and shoot it later?
It'd be fun. Let's shoot this.
What will you do for me if I win?
What? You were just waiting for this, weren't you?
A flick. The loser gets it on the forehead.
That sounds good.
I'm going to make a hole in your forehead.
Get an ambulance ready. This will be the proof.
You're all talk.
Don't cry after I crack your head open.
- Hurry and start. - Okay.
- Come on. - Now. Go!
One, two, three!
Goodness me, what a waste of wild ginseng.
Oh, my gosh. Are you really a woman? Let me see your arm.
Nonsense. Hand me over your forehead.
This is unbelievable.
Hold your forehead still. Come here.
This is killing me.
Are you all right?
Hey,
did she hit me with a rock when I had my eyes closed?
Your head would be as read as the maple tree.
It sure is autumn now.
Gosh.
I put in so much effort to make this.
Here. I'll give you well-seasoned greens.
Have a taste. Open wide.
Do you think I'm in the mood for that?
Goodness, you got a big bump. Should we apply doenjang?
Forget it. Darn you.
Give me what you were about to give me. The sesame oil smells nice.
What a good man. Here.
How is it?
It's too bland. Put more salt in it.
Geez, are you angry over your loss?
Whatever.
Should I add a bit more salt?
Now,
try it one more time.
How is it now?
It's bitter and nice.
You know how to taste it.
This is the wild aster grown in the Jirisan Mountain.
Cut. We'll do it up to here.
Wow, you two are amazing! It's a comedy cooking show.
Hey, shut it.
Tell her to do it by herself now.
What are you talking about? You have fantastic chemistry.
I won't do it either. I hate owing anyone.
If this works, you'll make a lot of money!
You earn money? How?
Simply,
if you film how you cook and post it on the internet,
you'd earn money whenever people view it.
What? How much?
It's about 2 or 3 cents per view.
It's 3 dollars for 1,000 views.
It's 30 dollars for 10,000 views.
Popular channels earn thousands of dollars per month.
My goodness, thousands of dollars?
Thousands of dollars?
- Weren't you in bed? - It's lemon balm.
Drink it before going to bed.
You'd be exhausted working late. It's good for your sleep.
You shouldn't have. You should've gone to bed.
Chrysanthemum tea? Where did you get this?
- Bo Ra gave it to me. - Bo Ra did?
You're meeting her often these days.
What do you mean? She gave it to me when I met her for the commercial.
Really? But you don't like chrysanthemum tea that much.
Can I drink this?
Pardon?
Sure.
For goodness' sake! It's gone down again! How annoying!
Jun Soo is acting suspiciously.
Did Jun Soo come home?
What's so suspicious about him now?
Well, Bo Ra gave him chrysanthemum tea.
So what?
You know I have a good hunch for things like this.
I'm sure Bo Ra has a crush on him and flirting with him.
Gosh, are you writing a drama or something?
Oh, right. The real drama is this.
It turns out Bo Ra's biological dad is the director of Plus Market!
What?
How did you find out?
I had tea with the woman next door today.
I asked her.
What a small world.
So do the two husbands know that?
They will freak when they find out!
Won't they find out soon though?
If the ex-husband is the boss,
would the current husband need to quit?
My gosh, you're so nosy.
Why would you worry about such a thing?
This isn't the time to talk about other households!
Why? Is something wrong?
After Ms. Shin left, the team's in a mess, and the ratings fell.
At this rate, we could lose "Natural Man Lives"...
to another producer!
You're such a drama queen.
By the way, the woman next door's niece...
is apparently a producer of "Natural Man Lives."
What?
Who?
Is it Producer Um Sun Han?
It turns out she's from a family of owners.
Is that so?
That's why she was so proud as she had her family behind her.
Thank you for working so early in the morning.
No worries. I wake up earlier in the country.
You said your house is at Gurye, Jirisan Mountain, right?
That's right.
What about your family?
My partner passed away,
and I have a lovely daughter.
And a son, who grew up to be a wonderful man.
Do your children live in Seoul?
Somewhere in Korea.
Did you come to Seoul so you could be closer to your children?
There's that,
and there's someone I need to help after I make some money.
So I need to earn a lot of money.
Who are you trying to help?
Don't keep prying.
Let's keep our distance.
Okay.
- Here you go. - Enjoy, and come back.
All right.
What's that?
Oh, it's for someone I know.
Who?
Grandpa Mang Soo's granddaughter.
I'll be right back.
That rude girl?
It looks like he likes her.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Here.
This is for you.
My lunch boxes are always good, but today's is even more special.
These are greens harvested from the mountains,
and homemade gochujang, combined to make wild greens bibimbap.
Ta-da.
Are you going to keep delivering lunch boxes I didn't even order?
I had a delivery for the entertainment department,
so I brought one for you as well.
You're a lifetime customer!
Oh, but what do we do?
I have to go shoot a commercial later, so I can't eat this.
Then you can eat it after.
I have dinner plans after.
Then give it to someone else.
Today's greens are better than medicine. We harvested them...
from the backwoods. They're completely natural.
Can you at least send a word beforehand next time?
This isn't my grandpa's, it's my place of work.
What will you do if people misunderstand?
About what?
Are you worried about a scandal?
Oh, well...
It's not like that, but still.
It still doesn't feel right.
If I keep accepting free stuff from you,
it's easy for people to misunderstand.
I see.
I understand.
I'll go.
Was I too harsh?
The skirt billows in the wind
You look like someone kicked your puppy.
Did you get dumped after giving her the lunch box?
No.
She's on a strict diet, so she can't eat it.
How come you're so bad with girls?
I know.
You know how women think. Help me, please.
Later. You said you have to prepare 100 lunch boxes.
Let's hurry.
Let's go as fast as a bullet.
Ma'am.
You're early today.
The lady of the house asked me to come early.
Oh, did she?
Oh, can you get me a cup of coffee, please?
Yes, sir.
Ms. Kim, this is Director Kim Won Tae.
Thanks to the "Extreme Part-Time Job," sales at our store went up.
I'd like to treat you to dinner to show my thanks.
Please let me know when your schedule clears up.
Any time works for me.
Give me a cup of coffee.
Yes, ma'am.
Did you get your car?
Not yet.
It seems like it'll take some time to get the parts.
Did you talk to them about the agreement?
Seriously?
I already sent it to get repaired. It cost more than 20,000 dollars!
It's not like you don't have the money.
Don't make a big deal out of it. Just make the agreement.
It's their attitude that annoys me!
They keep coming on so strong even though they've got nothing!
It's ridiculous.
People who don't have anything are the scariest of all.
They have nothing to lose, so they do whatever they want.
Just finish it.
Fine!
This is so annoying.
(Accident Lady)
Yes? What do you want?
Come see me today.
You said you wanted to go to court.
I don't think we need to see each other.
I'll settle, so come see me!
Send me the location.
Oh, my. She's settling?
Sorry, I'm late.
You should be here waiting for me.
This is ridiculous.
Send 10,000 dollars to this account.
You could have just texted me the account number.
Why did you tell me to come here?
Since we settled, you need to delete that recording.
Not that I agreed to this because I was afraid of that.
I made a mistake...
Anyway, hurry up and delete it.
(File deleted.)
Happy?
You didn't make a copy or anything, did you?
We're not those kinds of people.
I'll send the money right away too.
If you didn't, that's fine.
I can't believe you blackmailed me with a recording of a call.
You couldn't even imagine this in the US.
I just transferred the money.
Go ahead and check.
It's here.
Excuse me.
Could you sign this agreement?
Why? Do you think I'll go back on my word?
You're ridiculous until the end.
(Agreement)
It's hard to walk and the mask is pressing against my face.
Why is this suit so tight?
Don't laugh in secret.
You can laugh out loud.
Bo Ra, the wetsuit suits you.
- You saw the storyboard, right? - I did.
Whether it's rainy or sunny, 365 days of the year,
we'll get fresh seafood to you. That's the concept.
We're going to start with the rainy scene.
You just harvested a bunch of fresh seafood.
You just came out of the sea. That feeling.
Okay. I get it.
- Let's go, then. - Okay.
Ready.
Action.
Cut!
It's good.
Bo Ra, you didn't even close your eyes when we sprayed water on you.
Compared to doing weather forecasts outside...
when there were typhoons in the Ganghwa mountainside
being sprayed on indoors is nothing.
You're easy-going than you look.
- Let's go one more time. - All right.
Good.
Cut! Okay.
Let's take a break.
We're resuming in 30 minutes!
I hope it's not too hard. Here, this way.
- Doesn't it hurt? - No, it's all right.
Be careful.
- What's with the catering service? - Wow.
Did your boyfriend send this, Bo Ra?
I don't have a boyfriend.
(Strong Girl Kim Bo Ra, You can do it!)
"Strong Girl"?
There's only one person...
- that calls me Strong Girl. - Bo Ra!
Come on and eat!
I'm coming.
Wow, they're really alive.
Bo Ra. This time,
you're going to hold the octopus in one hand and say the line.
Okay. I'm going to practice once.
The freshness in me is coming to your doorstep.
The freshness in me is coming.
Okay, I'm ready.
Assistant Director, give Bo Ra one of the octopuses.
Okay.
It's still alive.
Geez.
Oh, gosh. Oh, no.
- What's wrong with you? - Hold on a minute.
You shouldn't be afraid of this.
Wow, Bo Ra, you're fearless!
Stay right there. We'll start right away.
- Sorry. - No worries.
Okay. Ready!
Action!
The freshness in me is coming to your doorstep!
We'll go again.
Okay.
The freshness in me is coming to...
Are you all right?
Wait a minute.
What is this?
My gosh. Jun Soo.
When did you get here?
Are you okay?
You can wipe your face with this.
Yes, I'm fine.
But this thing squirted.
You're doing a good job.
This is the last scene.
I can finally have dinner.
Good luck with the shooting.
See you later.
Someone you know?
Who did you ask to cast him?
You know the weather forecaster Kim Bo Ra, right?
Jun Soo is a childhood friend of hers.
So she did me a favor and asked him.
But how do you know Kim Bo Ra, Ms. Shin?
Well,
she's a friend of a friend.
But if Kim Bo Ra casts CEO Na, we'll need to have her as the host.
What?
What are you saying Ms. Shin?
Is that the deal you made with Kim Bo Ra?
What should I do?
Kim Bo Ra will only help if something's in it for her.
Gosh, no.
Kim Bo Ra is unlikeable.
Why don't you cast him yourself? You said you know him.
I can't do that.
Then let's just proceed.
She's hot these days, so it's a good idea.
Gosh. I'm exhausted.
When I talk to Producer Um, it's like she drains my energy.
What is this smell?
This lady is unbelievable.
How can she not change the blankets?
This won't do.
Mom.
What brings you here without a call?
The lady said you're in, so I came right up.
I just got here.
Bo Ra is shooting her commercial today.
She has a dinner appointment too, so I brought winter clothes.
I also bought a coat for Byeo Ri.
Byeo Ri will love it as it's new.
I'll tell her to wear it when she goes to school.
Sure.
But do you have time today?
What is it?
I don't feel at ease seeing you live in a place like this.
I have some savings.
You should get a studio with that for now.
You don't have to, Mom.
I'm going to start a new program soon.
So I'll manage until then.
I'll take care of it.
I can't go to sleep having you live in this inn.
Mom, actually,
I met Dad yesterday.
You met Dad?
Yes.
He said he didn't want to argue with you over me and Byeo Ri.
He's really angry at me.
But if he finds out that you got a place for us...
So, he's angry.
I don't want to miss out on being a mom worried about what he'd think.
Let's go already.
You should get a place soon for Byeo Ri's sake.
You can't make her stay in a place like this.
Let's go. Come on.
Stand up.
Let's go.
Let's have a drink.
Cheers.
Finally, I'm getting my endorphins racing.
How did you manage to bear it with your appetite?
But Jun Soo.
Don't you want to be on TV?
There's a screenwriter I know...
who is planning a new recipe battle show.
That seems to be the same one that a screenwriter suggested...
and made a no-show yesterday.
Sorry?
Anyway, the show seems to be great.
I'm not so sure.
The screenwriter in charge is irresponsible.
If it's not good in the beginning, they usually turn out bad.
How do you know that writer?
Oh, me?
You see...
Well, you know how the broadcasting industry can be a small place.
We're acquaintances.
And I think I'll be the host for that show.
What?
Are you already casting me as you'll be the host?
Anyway, I hope you can give it another thought.
Then tell that writer to set an appointment again.
I'll tell Secretary Kim about it.
I'll hear it first then decide.
Okay.
Thank you, Jun Soo.
Shall we toast?
Ah Ri.
Yes, Byeo Ri.
I'll be there soon.
If you're hungry while doing homework,
you'll find ten dollars in the book on the table.
You can buy something from the convenience store with it.
Okay, Ah Ri.
There's no ramyeon.
Hey.
Come here.
What is it?
Come with us for a bit.
We have something to tell you.
Come here already.
I saw you getting the change.
You have money, right?
No.
I spent it all to buy this.
Hey, you're lying to us.
I really don't have it. I'm leaving.
Where do you think you're going?
Hey, you're not scared, are you?
Let go of me.
I really don't have money.
I need to teach you a lesson.
Let go of me!
Please let me go!
Hey! What are you doing there?
Let's be off.
Those punks.
Kid, are you all right?
Mister.
(No Matter What)
Does she live here with you?
What makes you think I am his spouse?
Did you get a place for them?
When are we moving?
You'll stay at the inn for a month?
Let's bear with it for a month.
You're not in bed yet.
She hasn't heard about her dad, right?
He texted Kim Bo Ra again?
I thought of you every time I listened to this song.
Get back, Jun Soo.
Jun Soo.
