(Episode 6)
Ri An.
Oh, gosh. What do I do? What should I do?
Mom.
Ri An.
Where have you been? I was so worried about you.
I'm sorry. I really needed to use the restroom, so I stepped out.
Don't say that. I'm the one who should be apologizing.
I'm really sorry for coming here so late.
That's okay.
I know that you're busy with work.
Ri An.
I could've gone home by myself by bus.
But I waited for you since you said you'd come to pick me up.
I'm not a baby anymore, Mom.
My goodness.
Right. You're not a baby anymore.
Let's go home now.
Okay.
How was your class at the new academy?
It was fun.
There were things I didn't know, and that motivated me to focus.
I see.
(Kang Nam Gu to Take Me to Gangnam-gu)
Let's go.
- Why won't she pick up? - The person you have reached...
Did she find Ri An or not?
Darn. I must've lost my mind. Those darn fishing tools.
Gosh. This is driving me nuts.
Oh, my. What on earth is this?
Goodness gracious. Oh, my dear Lord.
Lord, please help me.
- My gosh. - Mom.
I didn't want to hear Cho Hee nagging me again,
so I was going to put the leftover side dish...
in a smaller container and finish doing the dishes.
But then I found that hideous thing in the container.
No way. Cho Hee wouldn't have put it in here.
Who else would've done it? A ghost?
Why would she do such a thing? It's so unlike her.
She knows how much I hate stuff like that.
Well... Mom.
I bet she did this on purpose to scare me.
I'm sure of it.
(Village Shuttle, from Hanbit Villa to Inwang Station)
You're hungry, right?
I'll make some snacks for you when we get home.
That's okay.
Having night snacks only makes me feel sleepy.
You don't even have time for dinner because of your English lessons.
I'm so upset.
All the other kids eat only a toast for dinner as well.
So don't be upset, Mom.
All right, my dear daughter. You're so sweet.
- We're home. - We're home.
Hey, Ri An.
You're home.
Hey, what is this?
Oh, that... Why is it here...
I guess it was you who put it in the cupboard.
Ri An, go to your room and do your homework.
Yes, Mom.
It wasn't you, right, honey? You didn't put it in there, did you?
It was me. I put it in there.
You're right. I did it.
Gosh. I didn't even know...
that such a disgusting thing was in my house.
I'm afraid if anyone finds out about this.
Hey, get rid of it immediately with your own hands. Got it?
No. I can't throw it out.
Hey.
Honey, what's with you? Why would you act so strange?
Why?
I did it because I was told that this would resolve everything.
That I could make more money, buy a house, and get promoted,
and Ri An would become successful.
And that Mother could live a long, healthy life.
That's why I did it.
Come on. Are you dumb?
You should know better than this. You're an educated person.
Don't you see why I did it?
I was so frustrated and hopeless...
that I even went to see a fortune-teller like I was stupid.
But that would never cross your mind, right?
My gosh. You're in no position to raise your voice at him.
I'm not saying that what I did was absolutely right.
Right. I may not be good enough in your eyes, Mother.
But you know that I've been working hard to improve our lives.
Can't you feel bad for me once in a while?
I should be saying the same thing. Can't you feel bad for me?
The church saved me when I just wanted to die...
to join my late husband.
My faith has been giving me the strength to go on until now.
But you, who is intelligent enough just as Professor Kang said...
Look what you've done. How ignorant.
So?
You always call your son "Professor Kang".
But that brilliant son of yours is the reason why...
I've been working hard to pay off a huge debt. You know that.
What... How dare you speak so rudely to me, your mother-in-law?
This is why I disapproved of you marrying her.
I mean what kind of upbringing would she have gotten...
from a single mother who runs a side dish store?
Mom, stop it. How could you say such a thing?
What? I didn't say anything that I shouldn't have said.
Mother, I can put up with whatever you say about me.
But don't insult my mom.
My mom never spent money on what she needed or wanted...
to provide me and my two siblings with everything we needed.
But look at her precious daughter whom she worked hard to raise...
looking after you...
and your dear son.
My goodness. You won't hold back while letting it all out.
It must have been so hard for you not to take credit...
for supporting all of us.
Mom, please stop. Cho Hee, let's talk in our room. Come on.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Come on in.
Goodness gracious. Darn it.
Gosh. I don't know. Lord, please help us.
- Gosh. - Let go of me.
Don't tell me to apologize to her.
Hey, you shouldn't have talked like that to my mom.
And was it right of her to say those things to me?
I'm not saying it was right of her.
You know her personality.
So? Must I put up with it even though it was wrong?
Am I this family's punching bag?
Why must I put up with everything?
Right.
I know you're oversensitive because I didn't pick Ri An up.
That will never happen again. I love you so much.
Stop it.
You don't care about our future or Ri An's education.
All you care about is your own convenience.
I have to go and help Ri An with her homework.
This is driving me nuts.
Gosh, seriously.
This will prevent misfortune? What a load of crock.
Perfect Score Academy. You failed.
High Focus Language Academy. You failed.
Bang Sa Rang.
Out of all these academies,
there are none you can go to. That makes no sense.
Mom, can't I go to an academy that's near our house?
Right. Let's let her go to a nearby academy.
There are many academies near our house.
If you go to just some random academy,
you won't ever be able to improve your grades.
Go to your room and study.
And tomorrow, you have a test at Top Brain English Academy.
Make sure to get into this one. Do you understand?
I hate you, Mom. I mean it.
Honey, don't be so harsh to her.
Forcing her to study won't help her get better grades.
Unless you'll help her get into an academy in Daechi-dong,
stay out of this matter.
Gosh. I mean it's not a college admission test.
Why is it so hard to get into an academy for little kids?
Gosh, seriously.
That man is only good at investing in real estate.
He can be of no help when it comes to her education.
Tomorrow?
I don't know. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow.
I'll be the same for the day after tomorrow.
I have many conferences to attend.
I can't tell you when I can see you right now.
Okay, Won Ju. I'll call you later.
Why does she keep asking me for advice on her child's education?
(Cometome)
I mean how could they do this?
It made it look like the two teams in our company...
competed against each other to hire Mukbang King.
(CEO Ko Sung Man)
I know. Things got messy indeed.
It's obvious that Mr. Moon did it on purpose...
to get me in trouble.
Come on, Ms. Seo.
Anyway, my team won the bid for Bongsam Chicken first.
So tell Mr. Moon to give up on his plan.
But the problem is...
that Mukbang King has already decided...
to sign with the other brand.
Who said that? Did Mukbang King say that?
Here's your coffee.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Convincing Mukbang King was a great move.
How did you make it happen?
- Do you want to know? - Yes.
I promised that he'd be paid a lot.
I see.
Who would turn down an opportunity...
when he can get a lot of money?
You're right.
Who hates money? You love money as well.
Yes, Mr. Ko.
Right now?
Yes, sir. I'll be right there.
Why? What is it?
- Why? - It's already getting complicated.
This is so exciting
Prepare to have a party with our team members, okay?
Yes, sir.
This is so exciting
No, I can't do that.
Haven't you heard business ethics?
Team One was the first to contact Mukbang King.
I don't know that. I mean, I don't want to know.
Besides, we may work in the same building,
but we've never discussed or negotiated about work.
Let's stick to our own ways to work as we have until now.
Mr. Moon.
Calm down.
If the word gets out that we considered...
hiring the same person to model for two brands in the same industry,
it will damage our company's image.
We might face a lawsuit for a double contract.
So I think we should choose between the two teams.
You're right, Mr. Yang.
In this situation, Mukbang King's intention matters the most.
Being unreasonable won't help.
Will you accept the consequence whatever his decision may be?
I'm not sure.
I think you're the one who should prepare to back down.
Can we proceed with the deal with Bongsam Chicken as we agreed?
Yes, of course.
A world-class influencer of mukbang videos like me...
will sign a 6-month exclusive contract for only 3 bills.
You know that it's practically a steal, right?
Anyway, I agreed to sign with them only because I trust you.
Thank you. We'll do our best, Mr. Byun Duk Sam.
Come on. I asked you not to call me by my real name.
You know that a verbal contract is also legally binding, don't you?
Oh, gosh. Ms. Seo, I didn't know you were so thorough.
I can't believe you recorded that conversation. I mean...
Isn't it illegal to record a conversation without consent?
It's not illegal if she's in the conversation.
So what is it going to be?
Are you going to call Mukbang King?
Gosh. I knew it.
Don't be late, Kang Rim, okay?
She's a very close friend of mine.
She was pampered growing up in a rich family, so be nice to her.
You know what I mean, right?
Okay. I'll see you later.
What was that about?
Does your friend plan to get a divorce already?
Don't be silly. That's not it.
Bo Ri, did you already arrange a blind date for Kang Rim?
Don't tell me...
you lied to Kang Rim that she would be his client.
That doesn't even matter.
I succeeded in making him go there to see her. That's all that matters.
He'll probably throw a fit.
Don't worry, Mom.
I considered appearances and all the qualifications...
and carefully picked someone to meet his high standards.
There's no way he won't like her.
Even so, shouldn't you tell him the truth before they meet?
Mom, would Kang Rim gladly go to see her...
if I tell him the truth?
Just trust me. I'll get going now.
I'll tell you how it goes.
- Don't forget to keep us updated. - Okay.
Nice.
Gosh. I'm not sure about this.
Professor Seo.
What is it?
I have a question about the employment contract.
I believe I explained enough about it in my lecture today.
Didn't you focus on my lecture?
It's not like that. I always stay focused when I'm in your lecture.
Actually, I have a part-time job.
And I worked a few extra hours last week.
Could you please help me check...
if I was paid the right amount?
You're asking me to do that?
It's because I'm bad at math...
and don't know how to calculate overtime pay.
The overtime hours I worked times my hourly rate times 1.5.
Is this correct?
Yes, that's correct. It's 124 dollars 26 cents.
Han Seul A.
Has your leg healed already?
Hey, I can't go to work wearing a cast.
I heard you would take some time off work until you recovered.
I know. But someone I know asked me to cover her shift just for today.
And the pay is good too.
Goodness. Don't worry. I'm fine.
Professor Seo.
Right. You don't have any more questions, right?
I'll see you in my next lecture.
Pool Ball that girl is so annoying.
Why would she show up and ruin it every time?
Nice. I guess she's a premium-level member for a reason.
Yes. Where are you?
Kang Rim, I'm sorry. The composer called me suddenly.
I told my friend I had to leave.
Find the girl in a white dress with long hair, okay?
Hey.
I can't believe her.
Long hair and a white dress.
Okay.
Excuse me. Are you Ms. Ha Mi Ran?
- Yes, that's me. Hello. - Oh, hello.
I'm Attorney Seo Kang Rim.
Mom.
She's awesome.
She looks so luxurious.
Kang Rim?
I'm sure he likes her.
If he doesn't fall for a girl like her,
that means there's something wrong with him.
Would you like to order now?
Thank you.
Hey.
Oh, my.
Hello, Professor Seo.
Hi. Are you working at this restaurant today?
I don't think it's a good idea for you to work in your condition.
I'm okay.
I fully recovered.
Would a lunch set menu be okay with you?
Sounds good.
- Can we both have the A set? - Sure.
I guess she's an acquaintance of yours.
Oh, her?
I teach at a university.
And she's my student.
Kang Rim, I'm in a rush. I'm running late.
Oh, you teach at a university too? That's great.
You must never keep any secrets from me from now on.
Secrets?
Oh, I understand. Of course. Don't worry.
What should I ask for when Kang Rim gets married?
First, I'll ask him to buy me designer goods that I can put on...
from head to toe.
I said "marriage". That's what I said.
Isn't that why we met?
You must be mistaken.
I'm a divorce attorney. Marriage isn't my specialty.
What did you say?
Wait. Hold on a second.
Gosh. Seo Bo Ri, that little...
What?
What happened? Why did she come out alone?
Hire an attorney.
I'm going to sue you for using my personal information.
- You'll sue me? - Yes.
You passed on my information to the agency without my consent.
Of course, I'm going to sue you.
What are you talking about?
Fine. Sue me all you want.
But you'll have to sue Mom and Auntie Poong Geum too.
What?
We planned this together.
Now, what are you going to do?
What will you do?
(Sisters Side Dish)
Hey, Bo Ri, how did the blind date go?
I don't know. You should ask him yourself when he comes back.
What? Why? Didn't it go well?
- He said he would file a lawsuit. - Against whom?
Against all three of us.
He said he'd make sure it makes headlines.
Who said that?
Who else would that be? There he comes.
I'm home.
Hey, you're back.
Yes.
Did you agree to sign me up for a matchmaking service...
without letting me know?
Well, yes. I told them to go ahead.
I wanted to see you get married before it was too late.
Mom.
I'm happy with my life as a single.
What do you like so much about your single life?
It's been years.
You never come out of your room after work.
You don't even go out to see your friends on weekends.
Kang Rim.
There is the right time for everything.
It's good to make a lot of money and to become successful.
But don't you also want to get married and have kids...
and enjoy the joy that an ordinary life brings?
I will never get married.
I will stay single forever.
What?
If it is too hard to watch me live like this,
I will move out.
Hey, that's not what I'm saying. Kang Rim, wait.
Ri An, have some fruits.
Thanks, Mom.
You didn't have a hearty meal for dinner either.
I have so much homework given by the academy.
I'll finish this first.
Oh, my. No.
Ri An, your nose is bleeding a lot. Tilt your head back.
I'm okay.
It must be exhausting to go all the way to Gangnam.
It's a little tiring.
But I should keep going there.
Don't worry too much, Mom.
- He's so funny. How does he do that? - What are you doing?
He's hilarious and handsome at the same time.
He's so funny. My gosh. That's crazy.
He's amazing.
- I know, right? - Look at that.
Hey, eat this.
Thanks.
Hey, that's so funny. He keeps making me laugh.
I wish I could see him in person.
- I mean how does he do that? - I wonder how he looks in person.
I mean he's so handsome and hilarious at the same time.
Honey.
What's the matter? Is something wrong?
Mr. Kang Nam Gu.
Yes, Cho Hee.
Let's...
get divorced.
You want a divorce?
(The All-Round Wife)
He gave you an A-plus for a group assignment?
Yes, he gave me an A-plus.
We have to make an issue of it.
I think Kang Rim will actually do it.
- Do you really have to do this? - Let's go in.
Did you see me demand money and use violence?
I believe you had a chance to defend yourself in the courtroom.
Are you asking me for a divorce because of a house?
Getting a divorce is no big deal if I can help my only daughter.
