(Episode 30)
Hi, Sun Hae.
I'm going to have Bo Ri drop off some side dishes for you.
Are you home now?
Whenever I cook, I make a ton of food,
so I ended up making way too much food today.
Try them and let me know. Talk to you soon.
My gosh, what's all this?
Are we having a party or something?
Good timing. Go drop these off at Sun Hae's place.
Why me?
I can't carry all these by myself.
Then go with Poong Geum.
Gosh, what a nuisance.
Hurry. Go before it gets too late.
You'll give me money for the taxi ride, right?
Auntie Poong Geum!
Ju A.
If you do this, how are you going to face me at school?
It's not like you're the only one I see at school.
I can hang out with the others.
What?
Unlike you, I have so many friends.
Hey, Gong Ju A.
As for the rest of my stuff, courier them to me.
I'll text you my new address.
And when you see me at school, just pretend you don't know me.
Have fun, all by yourself.
What?
If you're moving out, do it tomorrow.
I don't want you to say I kicked you out at night.
So you're not saying this because you're worried about me.
Forget it.
Do you have a place to go this late at night?
I'm going home.
You said it was being renovated. Is that all done now?
None of your business.
That girl, seriously.
(Female Only Rooms)
Gong Ju A, how did you end up in this situation?
(Female Only Rooms)
Come on in.
My gosh. I could've taken my car and picked them up.
It must've been hard carrying these all the way here.
Not at all. We wanted to do this for you.
As if. We had to wait so long for the bus.
By the way, your place is so nice.
It really is. You live alone, but your place is so clean and neat.
I like to clean, so I clean my place very often.
You're just like Kang Rim.
Everyone would believe you if you said newlyweds lived here.
She just needs a guy. Then it'd be perfect, right?
Gosh, Bo Ri. What are you saying?
My gosh, Sun Hae. Were you drinking alone?
Yes. I was having a glass of wine.
That's so cool. Very fancy.
Bo Ri, would you like a glass of wine too?
Yes, sounds good!
What about you, Auntie?
Gosh, I never say no when someone offers me a drink.
Then take a seat.
I'll bring out some snacks and wine glasses.
Are you sure?
Of course. Take a seat.
My gosh. That really happened?
It sounds like something I'd see in a TV drama.
Right?
But you know, Kang Rim doesn't care at all about others.
Do you really think he's worried about that student of his?
I'm telling you. He's not like that.
That's right. It's very odd.
I know. I was surprised too.
And to be honest, that's why it bothers me.
Sun Hae.
I suppose you have feelings for Kang Rim. You do, right?
Gosh, I told you. We're just friends.
If you let it drag on, you'll just get old.
So don't worry about a thing and just tell him.
We have your back!
Really?
Hey, Sun Hae. If you want to marry Kang Rim...
I'm all for it.
Oh, please.
Sun Hae is...
too good for him.
I must be drunk.
Don't take what I said the wrong way.
My gosh, I'm blushing.
Did I drink too much?
I don't think it's because of the wine.
Cheers.
She kicked her blanket off.
She'll catch a cold.
My poor baby.
If only your grandpa were alive...
Wake up, Bo Ri. Do you know what time it is now?
Mom!
I got home very late last night,
after completing an important mission.
So let me get some more sleep.
What did you do last night?
Just wait. You'll soon have a daughter-in-law who's a professor.
What are you talking about?
Sun Hae likes Kang Rim a lot.
And I found out about it last night.
Shut it. Stop talking nonsense and get up.
Gosh, it's true!
And I'm really sleepy right now.
Goodness.
Are you that happy about your friend living in Myeongjin-dong?
I sure am. She lied to me that she lives in Gangnam...
but got busted.
I'm hungry.
Sa Rang, shall I make you a fried egg too?
No, I'm good.
Let's eat.
I get so upset every time I see that wound on Sa Rang's hand.
It has almost healed.
Listen to me carefully, Sa Rang.
You can't hang out with Ri An anymore.
What? Why can't I?
What do you mean, why? Just listen to me and do as I say.
But Ri An and I are friends.
As of today, you're not.
Goodness. What will your daughter learn from this?
Mom, I like Ri An.
Also, her uncle asked me to be a good friend to Ri An.
He even bought me a delicious meal.
What? What kind of food?
Tteokbokki.
What? Tteokbokki?
What does her uncle do?
Why would he buy you tteokbokki?
What's wrong with tteokbokki?
What kind of tteokbokki place?
I hope he didn't take you to a dirty, unhygienic place.
No, we ate at a clean place.
And when we were there, he nicely told the other kids...
that they should stop being mean to Ri An.
What?
He told them to stop being mean to Ri An?
Yes.
Why?
All right.
(Conference Room)
Then I'll summarize the ideas and email them to you.
Okay. Thanks, Soo Hyun.
No problem.
Seeing a product in real life...
always helps us come up with good ideas.
Yes. Mae Ri is right.
- Really? - Yes.
Was this helpful?
- Yes! - Yes!
Ms. Seo, may I try on the diamond ring?
What?
My gosh. Why, Ro Mi?
It's not like it'll wear down if I try it on.
Besides, the two of you tried it on too.
Well, that's because we have to put our proposal together.
You don't have to do that.
That's right. We only tried it on because of the project.
Gosh, that's enough. She can try it on too.
When else would we get to try on a ring like this?
Come here and try it on.
No, forget it.
(Conference Room)
Gosh, you two. Be nice to Ro Mi.
Her tasks are different, but we're a team.
Ms. Seo, you really are clueless.
Even the rumor about you having an affair...
- Mae Ri. - What about it?
Here's coffee for everyone!
My gosh, Mr. Oh. What brings you by?
I'm just running an errand for Mr. Yang.
He asked me to drop these off before your meeting.
Oh, no. The meeting ended just now.
What? Already? Here you go.
Thank you anyway. Tell him I said thanks.
Will do. Take it easy.
- Take it easy. - See you.
See you.
We can have the coffee after lunch.
By the way, what shall we eat?
Red meat, chicken, or seafood. Any suggestions?
I want chicken! How about braised spicy chicken?
- Seafood! Noodles with clams. - Noodles with clams.
I have to make a call, so go ahead without me.
- Gosh. - Okay.
- Okay, see you later. - See you later.
I'm hungry.
How about a buffet? Would you be okay with that?
- Come on, hurry! - Why?
Is this the director of the academy?
I'm Kang Ri An's mother.
Oh, right. I was going to call you today anyway.
Pardon?
Ms. Seo, could you come to the academy today?
Is this about Ri An?
I'll tell you in person.
(Ranking English Academy)
(Ranking English Academy, Wise Choice to Be the Best)
Come in.
Ms. Seo, please have a seat.
Okay.
I thought you wanted to talk to me because of Ri An.
That's right. I arranged this meeting because of Ri An.
I don't really understand what's going on.
I thought this was going to be a one-on-one meeting.
Don't beat around the bush. Just tell her.
We're all busy people.
- Yes. - Tell her.
Ms. Seo, I suggest...
you transfer Ri An to a different academy.
You want Ri An to transfer to a different academy?
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it needs to be done.
No, I cannot do that.
Then should everyone else transfer?
Please, Ms. Seo.
This situation won't be solved until she transfers elsewhere.
Director, what did Ri An do...
that she has to transfer to a different academy?
Her uncle threatened the kids.
He said he'd get everyone's address and set our houses on fire.
What?
Ri An's uncle really said that?
My gosh. If you don't believe us, ask Ri An.
Everyone was there.
Cho Hee, Sa Rang heard it too.
She said Ri An's uncle threatened and scared the kids.
No Won Ju.
Ri An's mother and I actually went to high school together.
I'll talk to her, so please calm down.
Talk to me about what?
Hey, I came here to persuade them otherwise,
but they're all really worried,
so it seems like you have no choice.
Cho Hee, stop being so stubborn.
But think about it. Do you think Ri An's uncle...
said something like that for no reason?
I beg your pardon?
He did that because your kids ganged up against Ri An...
and bullied her.
My gosh. I can't believe she's accusing our kids of such a thing.
Cho Hee.
I need them to apologize to me about it first.
That is only right.
Apologize?
Then what about the thug uncle stepping in? Is that not wrong?
My point exactly. Do you know how traumatized our kids are?
My kid is seeing a therapist right now!
Totally. My kid has been avoiding people since that day.
Gosh, ladies. Your blood pressure will go through the roof.
Calm down, please.
Why don't we leave it at that today?
I'll talk to her.
Can we count on you, then?
Sure thing! I'll take care of this. Don't worry.
Gosh.
The director will give you a refund for the past two months' fees.
So give up already.
What? Give up what?
Why must I give up? That's not fair.
Cho Hee, don't you know the saying?
"Whoever dyed the knot must undye it."
One must take responsibility for one's own actions.
This happened because of your family.
So you need to own it and deal with it.
Am I wrong?
"Whoever dyed the knot must undye it."
Hey. It's "tie," not "dye."
Don't be such a know-it-all.
If you're that smart, why did you lie and send your kid...
to an academy in Gangnam when you live in Myeongjin-dong?
Goodness. Did you not know that Ri An could be hurt by this?
When did I lie? To whom?
You didn't?
I never deceived anyone.
And is there a law that says one must live in Gangnam...
to attend an academy in Gangnam?
There's no such law.
I wanted to talk to you nicely about this, but this won't work.
Do whatever you want.
But do you think the other mothers will just sit back and do nothing?
They'll sue Ri An's uncle for child abuse.
What? They'll sue him?
That's right. They will sue him.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
Anyhow, Ri An will suffer more if you let this drag on.
And let me give you a word of advice as a friend.
You should look for a good academy near Myeongjin-dong.
That would be the best solution for you now.
I trust that you'll make a wise decision. I'm off.
"Friend"? "A wise decision"?
Goodness, this is ridiculous.
(Ranking English Academy)
You're back. Please take a seat.
My gosh. I feel bad that you have to deal with this.
So? Did the talk with Ri An's mother go well?
I did explain the situation to her,
but Cho Hee is an idiot.
Sorry?
Oh, it's nothing.
By the way, if Ri An drops out,
her spot will become available, right?
Sorry?
The contest prep class.
If Sa Rang can get that spot, it'll be perfect.
Sa Rang is in the basic class, you know.
Come on! She can't stay in the basic class forever.
I hired a top-tier tutor for her,
so she's studying very hard at the moment.
Oh, I see.
So when Ri An drops out,
please make sure Sa Rang can take that spot.
Sure.
And this is just a small gift for you.
My gosh, you can't do this.
It's very small.
My goodness.
Director, please take good care of Sa Rang.
Oh, my.
What? Ri An has to transfer to a different academy?
They'll sue us?
I can't believe this.
Honey, are you coming home right after work today?
We need to talk. It's about Ri An.
(Professor Kang Nam Gu)
What's going on?
(Hankang University, Department of Urban Engineering)
Okay.
I'll head home as soon as my lecture is done.
Okay, honey.
(Professor Kang Nam Gu)
What's going on with Ri An?
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
What was that?
Did something really happen to her?
Hold on.
Why did I have a dream about Seul A?
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
What's with you? Are you on something?
Gosh, watch what you say.
Why were you giggling like that? You looked like a crazy woman.
I taught Seo Cho Hee a big lesson today.
The grudges I had been holding since high school...
are all gone now.
You mean, Ri An's mother?
That's right. This is how you get your revenge.
She got what she deserved.
She's certainly not normal.
(Hanbit Villa)
What do you mean Ri An has to transfer to a different academy?
Hey, that is not really what's happening.
They're kicking her out.
That's right, Mother.
But Seok Gu said he talked to the kids nicely about it.
Seok Gu, they said you told the kids you'd set their houses on fire.
Is that true?
Did I say that?
Even if I did, I obviously didn't actually mean it.
"If you continue to bully Ri An, I will scold you."
That's what I meant by it.
I'm more of a coward than you think I am.
Goodness. The kids are traumatized by what you said to them.
Some of them are even seeing a psychiatrist.
That's why they want to sue you...
and want Ri An to transfer to a different academy.
Gosh, what is wrong with those women?
What will they sue me for?
Child abuse.
What?
What will you do now?
What do we do about Ri An now?
You fool. You said you helped her out as her uncle.
I can't believe you got yourself into trouble again!
Kang Seok Gu, you'd better tell us exactly what happened.
What did you say to the kids?
Not much.
I bought them some tteokbokki...
and told them not to mess with Ri An again.
That's all.
I am telling you the truth.
Anyway, this happened because of you,
so you need to get this sorted out.
If Ri An has to suffer because of this,
I want you out of my sight, forever.
- Honey. - Cho Hee.
You little...
I swear. I never said such a thing.
Gosh, this is crazy.
You fool.
You know, Seok Gu didn't do it on purpose.
Don't be so angry.
Gosh, would this be solved if I stopped being angry?
What about Ri An's academy?
Well...
Let's move her to an academy that is closer to our place.
Ri An is your daughter.
Why do you not care about her education at all?
It's not that I don't care.
Had you not been so obsessed with Gangnam,
this would have never happened.
Are you saying this is all my fault?
I never said that.
I'm just saying, we should consider that option.
Goodness.
How could you give up so easily?
She can't attend a school in Gangnam right away,
so we wanted her to attend an academy there at least.
What's your point? Do you want her to keep going to that academy?
Do you think Ri An can endure this situation?
Cho Hee, you scare me whenever you're like this.
At this rate, you'll turn into one of those crazy moms in Gangnam.
So you just think I'm crazily obsessed with Gangnam.
Fine, I'm crazy.
I'm so obsessed with Gangnam that I'm losing my mind, okay?
- Honey. - But...
can't you try to understand why I'm being like this?
I want Ri An to be educated in a better environment.
I want you and Mother...
to live comfortably in the area where we lived for years.
That way, things will at least be better than this!
Cho Hee.
I thought you'd be on my side...
even if everyone else pointed their fingers at me.
But I can't put up with this alone anymore.
I'm really struggling here!
(The All-Round Wife)
You know, that bachelor friend of yours.
I did contact him.
Hi, pretty Poong Geum.
All of this happened because of you.
You should've sent her to an academy in your area, Cho Hee.
Go get this sorted out as her uncle.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
Cho Hee, you're really something.
