Oh, my. They're so pretty.
Gosh, that startled me.
I'm sorry.
Who parked this scooter here? Please move it!
Okay. I'll do that.
I'm sorry about that.
You shouldn't park a scooter here.
- You should know better. - Right.
I'm sorry. I was going to leave shortly.
- Hurry up and move it. - Okay.
What is this feeling?
I feel like I left something important behind.
Oh, that's it. Sim Jung Ae!
Eun A's mom.
Oh, my. Look who's here.
Aren't you Eun A's mom?
My goodness. Hello.
Have you been well?
I've been great. Did you come all the way here for dumplings?
Yes. Eun A and Eun Hyuk liked dumplings at this place.
So I came to get some.
(Haha Chicken)
Jung Ae.
Sim Jung Ae!
I saw her right here.
I'm sure she was Jung Ae.
- You mean, that place? - Yes. Let's check it out.
Oh, there she is.
Wait.
Stop for a moment, Jung Ae!
Wait, Jung Ae!
- I know, right? - Sim Jung Ae!
Stop for a moment!
Jung Ae!
That's weird.
I clearly saw her going this way.
My second-youngest sibling runs this convenience store.
- You remember my sibling, right? - Of course.
Goodness, that brat is over 60 now.
Gosh. Where did she go?
She disappeared like the wind.
I'm sure...
that she was Jung Ae.
Yes, Mom. Dad hasn't come back yet, right?
Why is it taking him so long to pick up dumplings?
I'll be at home. Call me when he's back, okay?
Okay. Bye.
Hi, Ms. Jung. What's up?
Ms. Yoo, I feel so bad.
It's about the luxury brand product you were going to sell on your show.
It's been decided that I'll do the job.
It's an order from the higher-ups.
Oh, really?
That's great news. You wanted to work on that project.
Me? I'm busy enough with the fashion and beauty products.
Yes. Okay. Talk to you later.
Those darn boomers. Have they lost their minds?
Why would they let her sell the luxury brand product?
In a prime time slot, at that.
Are they giving her all the good projects...
because she's young and obedient?
They used to call me a luxury human brand.
I'm so upset.
Hey, kid.
Oh, the lady from Number One Home Shopping?
Hey, you're the kid I met the other day.
Hello.
You just ruined my mood.
Hey.
You shouldn't play with a toy like this on the street.
Did you let your parents know you'd be out here?
If you sneaked out of your house...
I didn't sneak out of my house.
My taekwondo class just ended.
And I'm on my way to see my dad.
My dad's shop is right over there.
Then play in front of the shop.
What if a passerby gets hurt because of your toy?
Did you get hurt?
You seem fine to me.
I didn't say I got hurt.
I'm saying that I might have gotten hurt.
But you didn't get hurt.
You're fine.
You little rascal.
Don't talk back to me like that.
I may be a little child, but I can speak my mind.
One must not yell at or scold a child...
just because he or she is an adult, as far as I learned.
- Who told you that? - My dad did.
So did my teacher at kindergarten.
And my taekwondo coach too.
Did your father teach you only the rights of children...
and not the duty of children?
Didn't he tell you to be respectful and polite to adults?
I'm polite.
I greeted you politely just earlier like this. "Hello."
You're the one who didn't greet me back, ma'am.
What? Did you just call me "ma'am?"
Should I not call you that?
Hey, don't call me that. I'm not that old.
I don't look that old.
You should call me "sister" instead.
A pretty sister.
Pretty girls are kind and generous.
You're not kind or generous. Don't expect me to call you that.
Hey, kid. Stop right there.
Stop, child!
Where do you live? Where do you think you're going?
Gosh, I'm so annoyed.
"Go out no matter what happens."
"Or, I."
- "Or I will..." - Gosh, I'm speechless.
What's wrong with that kid? That was ridiculous.
What's the matter, Eun A? Did something happen?
I ran into some kid near our parents' restaurant.
His toy car hit my foot while he was playing with it.
So I told him to be careful. Then he nitpicked at me nonstop.
What? How old did the kid look?
I don't know. I think he's 5 or 6.
Even when we met for the first time,
he talked like a grown-up,
saying I looked pretty only because of my makeup.
Earlier, he even called me "ma'am" like I was an old lady.
What? How dare he?
You're pretty and have a nice body. How ridiculous.
People would believe you even if you said you were in high school.
Right? I don't look that old at all, right?
I still look young enough for him to call me "sister," right?
Of course. Absolutely.
Hey!
I think that the kid is too young to know.
When little kids meet a stranger who's an adult,
they say "sir" or "ma'am" just to be polite.
If it's an elderly person, they'd say "grandpa" or "grandma."
Even so.
I'm not even married yet.
He was so daring. I think he's really something.
He practically had me in the palm of his hand.
He seemed like he never listen to his parents.
He kept acting cheeky.
Whoever his parents are,
I feel bad for them.
Gosh, seriously.
The natural color...
and the simple, stylish design...
- will make you more elegant. - Ga Ram, what are you watching?
Oh, this? Number One Home Shopping.
Number One Home Shopping?
Are you going to buy something?
No. I'm watching it to look closely at this lady...
to see if she doesn't look so old.
A lady?
Who's this lady?
Just some lady I know who wants me to call her "sister."
She's pretty,
but she has a nasty temper like a jerk.
Ga Ram, I told you not to say things like that.
I told you to say only nice, sweet things.
But the world is not always nice or sweet.
Then how can I say only nice, sweet things?
Even so, you should always try to think and talk about nice things.
That's what a sweet child should do.
Fine.
I'll watch my language from now on.
What do you think? They go well together, right?
- By the way, Dad. - Yes?
How old does she look to you?
(Number One Home Shopping)
I'm not sure.
To me,
she looks quite young. Why do you ask?
Oh, no. I called her "ma'am."
Do you think she's a young lady?
Yes, I think she's a young lady.
Where did you see her? Does she live in our neighborhood?
I think so.
I ran into her in the neighborhood twice, not just once.
I think you should apologize to her when you see her again.
Calling a young lady "ma'am"...
is like when a kid who's younger than you...
addresses you like you're his same-age friend.
- Really? - Yes.
I would be upset in that situation.
I would even lose my appetite too.
I'll make sure to apologize to her when I see her again.
By the way, Dad.
Isn't this lady... I mean, isn't this young lady pretty?
Indeed. She looks pretty.
And she has good fashion sense.
She'd be perfect if she had a good personality.
What?
He left a long while ago.
Then why hasn't he come back yet?
Gosh. Is he making dumplings by himself or something?
(Haha Chicken)
Goodness. I should never ask you to run errands for me again.
I waited for the dumplings so long.
I would've gone home a while ago...
Where are the dumplings?
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
Oh, no. Did you cause trouble again?
Did you lend someone money without letting me know?
Did the person who borrowed your money run off...
I saw her.
What are you talking about?
Sim Jung Ae.
Who?
Sim Jung Ae, Eun A's mom.
What? Where did you see her?
She walked past me right in front of the dumpling place.
Really? So what did she say?
How has she been?
How come she never contacted us?
Why did she cut off all contact with us 30 years ago?
Oh, didn't she ask about the kids?
Doesn't she want to meet her?
I couldn't even ask her about those things.
She dropped her flowers,
so I picked them up for her.
That moment, I didn't recognize her.
I only realized later on that it was her.
So I ran...
and followed her.
Okay, and?
But I lost her.
Gosh, I can't believe you didn't recognize her...
when you even picked up her flowers.
Well, she has changed a lot.
Also, someone asked me urgently to move my scooter at that moment.
So? How did she look?
How do you think she's doing?
What about her kids and her husband?
She was there alone, so I'm not sure about that.
But she sure looked rich from head to toe.
Everything she was wearing looked like it was from a luxury brand.
The vibes she was exuding...
She looked like she was married to some business mogul.
Are you sure the woman you saw was Jung Ae?
Yes, why?
How could Jung Ae be married to a business mogul?
Come on. She was married to you, for goodness' sake.
She was renting a house with a 10,000-dollar deposit.
What does that mean?
You need something to fall back on to get back on your feet.
She had nothing whatsoever. How could she marry a business mogul?
Goodness. Does it make sense to you?
When you two were getting a divorce,
you were so broke that you couldn't give her any alimony.
Don't you remember?
Why must you bring that up now?
I just thought she looked like a rich lady.
You said you didn't recognize her at first.
Are you sure it was her?
- What? - Not someone who looked like her?
You have trouble recognizing people's faces.
You get confused...
even with people you see every day.
The fruit store owner looks nothing like...
the owner of the butcher shop,
but you always say they look identical.
Was it not her, then?
She looked a lot like Jung Ae. Especially the vibes I got from her.
So, who's that lady?
You two lived in the same neighborhood...
before your divorce?
No, we weren't neighbors.
She owned the fish store where I used to shop frequently.
You ran into her in front of the dumpling place?
You must've been surprised...
when she suddenly called you "Eun A's mom."
Why would I be surprised?
I am Eun A and Eun Hyuk's mom.
She knows all about what I went through.
Including how unfair my divorce was...
and how they took my children from me.
We went to a cafe to catch up.
She said, "I really hope you find your children."
It was comforting to hear that.
Going to the dumpling place was a good call.
You met that lady who comforted you.
It's all thanks to me.
As if.
You suddenly remembered you had to see your friends,
so you ditched me in the middle of the street.
That's why I'm here.
I wanted to chat with you like this...
and spend some time with you.
You're here because you got annoyed...
with your friend who was bragging about her husband.
Don't act like you're here for me.
Well, either way...
What matters is that I'm here.
In any case, you ran into that lady...
because I suggested we go to that dumpling place.
Goodness. You sure have a way with words.
Jung Ae.
If you keep running into your old acquaintances one by one,
you might end up crossing paths with Dong Gu too.
No way. He's in the Philippines.
Even if he lives in the Philippines now,
he could visit Korea from time to time.
Then he might visit the places that live in his memories, like you.
That dumpling place, for example.
What?
Perhaps, with Eun Hyuk and Eun A too.
I'm home.
- Hey. - I'm home too!
You two came home together?
No, I ran into her out front.
- Auntie Jung Sook, you're here. - Hi.
My gosh. Sun Woo, you keep getting more handsome by the day.
Mom, did you pick up the dumplings?
I heard that place was famous.
You bought both flavors, right? Kimchi and meat.
My goodness.
Their 50-year history explains the difference in taste.
The meat is so juicy.
Anyway, how did you find this place?
If it's near Saebit Catholic Church,
it's quite far from here.
Your mom used to live in that area,
so she knows the area very well including all the good eateries.
Mom used to live near Saebit Catholic Church?
When? We never lived in that area.
Mom, didn't you say...
you lived in Incheon before you got married?
What?
Oh, it's my friend who lived in that area, not me.
I got it mixed up.
It was her friend, not her.
Auntie Jung Sook, didn't you two...
live together before Mom got married?
How could you get it mixed up?
I mean, Incheon is quite far from Seoul.
Well, that's...
Don't ask. Just eat your dumplings.
I'm sure there's a reason...
why she got Incheon and Seoul mixed up...
and why...
she specifically said "the area near Saebit Catholic Church."
What could the reason be?
Why did she specifically say "the area near Saebit Catholic Church?"
Goodness. Just eat your dumplings, will you?
Why are you so inconsiderate?
Can't you see that Mom and Auntie Jung Sook are flustered now?
Are you two flustered?
Why would we be flustered?
She's putting us on the spot.
Mom, Auntie Jung Sook.
I'm trying to be considerate,
so I'm keeping my mouth shut. Quit giving excuses,
so I'll go watch a movie.
Something starring Alain Delon.
What? Starring who?
She said "Alain Delon."
"Alain Delon?"
That's random. What does that mean?
You don't need to know.
It's our secret.
- Gosh. - Something's come up at home.
Hey, you should hurry home.
What's with this weird tension?
Yes, Father. What?
You couldn't pick up the dumplings? Why not?
Oh, are you busy now?
Okay, we'll talk later then. All right.
Oh, no. Dad didn't pick up the dumplings?
No. He went all the way to the dumpling place...
but couldn't get the dumplings.
How come? He went all the way there.
Was everything sold out?
Was the shop closed?
No idea. He sounded busy,
so I couldn't ask.
Gosh. I thought we'd have a dumpling party after so long,
so I hurried home.
Had I known this would happen,
I would've just had soju with my colleagues.
Right, you should have.
Thanks to Eun Sung, I thought we could have the dumplings together.
You said Dad had been a regular...
since before we moved to the Philippines.
Right. Even after we moved back from the Philippines,
Eun A and I went there often with Father.
You weren't a big fan of dumplings when you were little,
so he usually took us.
Right, I see. But I like dumplings now.
It's odd though.
Mom doesn't really love those dumplings.
Mom likes strong flavors.
She thinks their dumplings are too bland.
So how did we become their regulars?
In this family, Mom's word is law.
You're right.
Yes, it really is odd.
Dad probably couldn't even go to the places Mom didn't like.
Ga Ram.
What happened at the cafe that you're looking so sullen?
Did your dad scold you or something?
No. There's this lady, and I wronged her.
So I'm trying to figure out a way to lift her spirits.
A lady?
Who? Bo Ra?
No, not Bo Ra.
A show host lady I ran into in the street.
What? A show host?
My gosh, Ga Ram. You're quite daring.
A show host? Then she must be at least 20 years older than you.
I know it's the latest trend to date older women, but...
Father, please. I understand that you're just joking,
but you shouldn't say stuff like that to a kid.
Oh, right.
Yes, I'm sorry. I was out of line.
Anyway, you have quite the skill, Ga Ram.
You met some lady in the street...
and did something to apologize for?
Oh, my. That's a highly advanced skill.
- Father, please. - What?
Oh, sorry. I did it again. I'm really sorry.
I have a habit of telling such jokes nonstop.
When I crack a joke like that,
people burst into laughter.
Especially ladies, you know?
Ga Ram, have you finished your homework?
Can I take a look?
All right. Let's go, Ga Ram. Let's go to your room.
- What? - Come on.
Did she have to ignore me flat out like that?
That was embarrassing. Goodness.
Anyway, this pear is so sweet.
Just like my life.
Did you have a chat with Sun Ju yesterday?
How much do you think she knows?
I have no idea.
But she brought up Alain Delon...
when we were talking about the dumpling place, so...
What are you whispering about?
What were you whispering about?
Nothing. I was just talking to Jung Sook.
Why?
Tell Sun Ju to come down.
What? Sun Ju? Why?
I have to ask her about something, so bring her to me at once.
What? What do you need to ask her about?
Honey, please.
I will ask her myself, so go get her.
This brat.
She didn't even win the contest.
What on earth is she up to these days?
And she said nothing about it to me.
Goodness. I'll teach her a lesson when she's here.
Hold on.
Could Jung Ae have known that but kept it from me?
What on earth does he want to ask her about?
He didn't hear what I said while I was on the phone, right?
Could Sun Ju have told him something?
Sun Woo, come here.
Hey, do you happen to know where Sun Ju is?
Oh, Sun Ju? I saw her going out earlier. She was dressed nicely.
She went out? And she was dressed nicely?
Where did she go so early in the morning?
I don't know. I asked her,
but she said it was none of my business.
She seemed very excited.
She seemed excited? Did she, really?
She always gets excited about silly things.
Pointless things that could even lead to trouble.
The more excited she gets,
the worse the situation gets for us. It would give us a headache.
Gosh. I wonder what that brat is up to.
Where did she go first thing in the morning?
What? Some people are already here.
Had I known, I would've come last night.
I want to see the members of Angel Boys closely.
I waited for this moment so eagerly.
(Angel Boys' comeback performance pre-recording for "Song Bank")
Come in.
Director Kang.
I brought you the art director's reply to your request...
for a revision of the set design that you asked for.
I see. Thanks.
Since my new movie is a science fiction and fantasy movie,
the art director seems to have a lot to think about.
I'll check the location where we could build the set first.
Do you have anything else to say?
If you're not very busy,
can you give me a cup of the coffee you gave me the other day?
I feel a little drowsy since it's afternoon now.
Sure thing.
I was going to take a break anyway.
Thank you.
I heard you would evaluate the actors...
at next week's audition for Director Hwang's movie.
That's right. I have evaluated...
actors' audition tapes before,
but I've never participated in any in-person auditions.
I'm nervous.
What do you consider most when you audition actors?
Well...
I see their eyes.
I try to see...
if they portray sincere emotions by looking into their eyes.
I see. You see the emotions in the eyes.
You can fake your tone of voice or your facial expressions.
But you can't fake the emotions that your eyes express.
It's hard to show what you don't have inside...
or to hide your inner feelings.
It's because your eyes...
are the closest to your heart and show your feelings honestly.
Come to think of it, great actors...
have their own ways of expressing emotions through their eyes.
A profound, delicate way.
They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul.
I hope you find an actor...
with sincere feelings in the eyes.
We haven't found one yet,
but there must be an actor...
with eyes full of emotions.
What do you think?
Can you see...
the fighting spirit of an athlete in my eyes?
No. You just look scary.
You don't look like an athlete.
You look like a 1,000-year-old fox with 9 tails.
The one who seeks revenge...
after getting dumped by a man.
Come on. The role I'm auditioning for is...
that of an athlete who becomes a national team player.
"I'll win a gold medal at the Paris Olympic..."
"no matter what."
I don't care if you win a gold medal...
or get eliminated in the preliminary round.
Tonight, I'm going to meet Angel Boys.
Are they making their comeback finally?
But how did you get the ticket to the music show?
It must've been almost impossible to get it.
Don't get me started. I heard the booking would start at 7 p.m.
To prevent wasting any seconds,
I matched the time on my laptop computer...
to the time on Angel Boys' fan community platform...
and signed in to the website in advance.
And the moment the booking began, I started clicking buttons.
I moved my hand so fast...
that I thought I could become a card shark.
I could even fool the greatest card shark in the world.
But how did you come here to see me?
Shouldn't you be waiting in line in front of the broadcasting studio?
Luckily, I met some nice high school students.
I offered them money...
to save my spot.
They must've given up on their future.
I mean, they were supposed to be at school.
Instead, they went to the studio so early in the morning.
That's what you should do to be a real fan.
You should give up on everything else in your life...
and pour all your energy into your favorite star.
With strong will and determination...
to spend your whole life loving the star.
Then I guess you can go somewhere with me. Right?
What? Where?
(Cheong Film)
Cheong Film?
Why are you going there?
Ta-da.
A sock? What is it for?
A fennec fox?
Yes. I had my fortune read online.
The fortune teller said that if I buried this sock...
in front of the company I wanted to join,
it would bring me luck, and I would get the job.
What? Are you going to bury that sock?
Yes. Like I said, this will help me get the role.
Of course, I should bury it. It's not so hard to do.
But look around. How are you going to bury it?
Hey, help me find a place to bury this.
I need it to stay buried for just three days.
I don't want to do this. Am I a gang member or what?
Are we burying a dead body?
Gosh. What if Sun Woo sees me here?
Yes, it's my car.
Sun Woo is coming out.
He'll get mad if he sees me in front of his office.
He told me never to let my friends know he's my brother.
And here I am with my friend who'll go to the audition.
I was in a hurry this morning, so I parked my car out there.
I understand.
Let's get going now.
Why? I haven't buried my sock yet.
Forget about the sock. Let's leave now.
What's going on?
Get up. Come on. Please. I'm begging you.
- Stop it! Let go of my arm! - Hurry up and get up.
- Come on. Get up now. - Gosh.
Gosh. My knee hurts.
Hey, get up already.
(Unpredictable Family)
Honey, why are you acting like this?
Darn it.
That means it's something serious.
Did Sun Ju tell her dad something about me?
Oh, that?
The dumplings were gone.
Maybe someone took them.
- Really? Then I'll check the CCTVs. - Yes.
No, that's not necessary.
Director Kang, would you be interested in finding the truth?
The truth that must be revealed for the sake of justice.
Is that a sock? What a strange place to see a sock.
I'm going to use the second method.
I'll get the role. I'll make it happen.
I've got this.
I've done my best until now.
And everyone in my family is rooting for me.
All that's left is to do well at the audition.
I just need to be myself.
