EPISODE 11

Yu-sin.

Yes?

What was the happiest moment in your life?

I'm not sure. I can't pick one.

-Were there many times?
-Yes.

You must be a happy man, Yu-sin.

How about you, young lady?

You're the first person to call me that.

It's common here.

When were you the happiest?

When I got into UCLA?

-That's a surprise.
-Why?

I thought you were happy-go-lucky.
You look like one.

I am, Doctor.

"Doctor"?

Are you interested in horseback riding?

Maybe if you teach me.

Okay.

Horseback riding is a skill you must have
in the entertainment industry,

as well as swimming, driving,

golfing, and dancing.

Can you dance?

Didn't you say you don't enjoy it?

No, Doctor.

"Doctor"?

I'll give you a free pass this time.

Let's go to a club.

-I'm curious about Korean clubs.
-Maybe next time.

It's better to go with you
than with anyone else.

Yu-sin,

your wife isn't your first love, is she?

No.

Then who was your first love?

I think I'm blessed

since I'm growing old with my first love.

So your wife is your first love.

No, it's my mom.

The one who raised me.
Not my biological mom.

This reminds me
of those ludicrous Korean dramas.

We downed this bottle so quickly.

How could you love your stepmom?

I mean, you can love her as a mom.

But your first love?

I don't think that's right.

It's similar to how daughters
want to marry their dads.

Does your wife know
that her mother-in-law is your first love?

It doesn't matter if she knows.

What's important is

that we're all happily living together
as a family.

What about your biological mom?

Remember how I lost my brother
when I was seven?

I also lost my mom back then.

I don't think they'll ever feel lonely.

They were very close when they were alive,

and they left together as well.

We all have a painful past,

isn't it, Yu-sin?

Does that mean you have one as well?

You can tell me anything.

I'm a psychiatrist, after all.

That's true,

but this isn't your office.

Psychoanalyze yourself as a doctor.

How would you describe yourself?

We categorize people
into Clusters A, B, or C.

Cluster A consists of schizophrenics.

Cluster B consists of dramatic people.

They have a strong sense of narcissism

and an antisocial personality disorder.

And Cluster C consists of individuals
with dependent personality disorder

or avoidant personality disorder.

I belong to none of them.

Me neither.

I'm not in Cluster A or Cluster B.

-Or Cluster C.
-You're in Cluster B.

You're slightly narcissistic.

It's not a bad thing.
Women need a bit of narcissism.

If you don't belong
in any of those groups,

then what kind of person are you?

My opinion of myself

may be different from those of others.

Stop dodging the question.

I'm not.

Tell me how you feel.

Socrates said, "Know thyself."

Since you're a psychiatrist,
I'm sure you have a clear grasp

of who you are.

Aren't I friendly?

I'd say I've lived a fairly ethical life,

and I like everything
to be black and white.

And take time to know me better.

Are you interested?

What about you?

Older brothers always listen
to their sisters.

I'll drop you home.

We drank a lot today.

-Are you okay?
-Not really.

Do you want medicine?

I can handle it.

Think about it.

He didn't even flinch
when I told him that my joints hurt.

But he rushed Dongmi to the vet
when he saw that her leg was swollen.

He took her to Dr. Cho, not just any vet.
Does that make sense?

Of course not.

That's how he's been treating me
for decades.

How could he?

It's more than enough to write a book.

Not once did he remember my birthday.
He says I spend too much money.

That's what money is for.

He says he's the one earning,
and I'm the one spending.

But you're his wife.

I do all sorts of things for him,
such as running errands and cooking.

I might as well charge him.

Exactly. Charge him for taking care
of him around-the-clock.

Five million a month
would be 60 million a year,

or 600 million a decade.

It's been 41 years.

Six times four is twenty-four.
It's almost three billion won.

How could a dog be more important than me?

I'm sleepy.

I'll never forget about tonight.

-What's on your mind?
-What you just said.

Yes?

Good night, Mother.

-Sure.
-Goodness.

It's warm.

Shall I turn on the humidifier?

No thanks.
I don't feel refreshed in the morning.

I could bring a wet towel and--

Is it our neighbor?

Where's Ye-jeong?

She's getting ready for bed.

You can take off your coat.

Did you have dinner?

Well…

-You didn't?
-I had a little bit at a funeral.

What? Who passed away?

It's a long story.
Just tell your mom to come out.

Mom, Dad's here.

I'll set the table.

Don't. We're going home right away.

She made tasty blue crab soup.

And she doesn't care
whether her husband ate or not.

Why are you here?

I stopped by on my way home
from a funeral.

Who passed away?

Mr. Park's mother.

Which Mr. Park?

You don't know all of my acquaintances.

Go get changed.

You should go home. You must be tired.

Let me tend to them for a few days.

Father, would you like honey tea
or some fruit?

-Neither.
-Give him some cold water.

So that he'll get a grip.

-Cold water?
-Have some ice cubes

if you're boiling inside.

Don't bother the kids. Let's go.

-I'm not bothering you, am I?
-Of course not.

-You should spend the night here too.
-What for?

He can't sleep if he's away from home.

You should, Father.

I bet no one loves their dog
as much as he does.

Dongmi's leg was slightly swollen.

His face turned pale.
He even skipped breakfast

-and rushed over to Dr. Cho.
-Goodness.

Did she get treated? What did Dr. Cho say?

So that's why Mom's upset.

That she'll get better in time.
And he gave her medicine for her joints.

Good.

There's no one as compassionate as you.

Dongmi is lucky to have met him.

You bet. She's even more spoiled now.

She's treated better than most people.

Right?

-Let's go.
-You can go on your own.

You should spend the night here too.

-Like this?
-You can wear my clothes.

He's right.
Have breakfast before you leave.

Honey.

Ye-jeong, fix me a meal. I'm hungry.

Hye-ryung.

-Please reheat the stew.
-Okay.

My goodness.
Get up and change your clothes.

One minute.

Excuse me.

Are you home?

When will you be back?

Why Singapore?

I thought we'd eat out together.

Okay.

You said you wouldn't drink.

Are you feeling nauseous?

-Let's sleep.
-Take a shower first.

Wash me.

Walk there, and I'll bathe you.

Bring a wet towel.

-Are you a baby?
-For tonight, yes.

-I'm your son.
-How silly.

-Why did you drink?
-He wanted to drink.

And I felt bad for him.

-Why did you feel bad?
-I had my reasons.

It's a long story.

Come here.

Why are you here?

I told you,
I dropped by after the funeral.

"Funeral," my foot.

Let's age and act gracefully.

Let's not show them this side.

Why not? Did I do something wrong?

Why are you jealous of a dog?

Jealous? Put yourself in my shoes.

-Should I get a dog too?
-Sure.

And should I dote on the dog
more than you, Mun-h*?

Don't call your respectable husband
like that.

Then, act like one.

Don't act lowly
and expect to be treated well.

It's all thanks to me
that you can live in luxury.

No, it's not.
It's all thanks to your father.

It was your father's land.

Whatever. We'll leave
first thing in the morning.

-Go on your own.
-Stop being stubborn.

It's my choice.

Did you think I'd be happy
to see you this late?

Shouldn't you go see Dongmi?

This is unbelievable.

Don't you have any self-esteem?

Why are you jealous of her?

I don't want to speak with you.
I can't be bothered to.

A thousand words won't cut it.

You can't change yourself.

You have no idea how lucky you are.

I guess I don't.

Do you think I'm lucky?

You've broken my heart so many times.

I mean less than a dog to you. Understood?

Go. You should to give Dongmi
her breakfast tomorrow.

You shouldn't let that poor thing starve.

There's Jun-jae.

Was she the one who took Dongmi
to the vet?

You should feed her yourself.

You received my everything,
but you're devoted to your dog.

What do you mean, "devoted"?

I share my bedroom with you, not her.

You might as well sleep together
and lick each other.

That's enough.

I wouldn't be like this
had you not taken it this far.

Why did you have to crawl over here
and rub it in like that?

"Crawl over here"?

I came here in a car, in a Benzi L-Class.

Then take the Benzi L-Class
and go back home.

Was it that big of a mistake?

She's also a part of our family.

If we're both family,
why did you neglect me

and rush over to the vet for her?

Was she dying or something?

She was trembling.

You're making my blood boil.
Stop talking to me.

Gosh, working out did wear me out.

I'll be sleeping soundly tonight.

ELENA

What's that for? Are you sick?

No.

Don't lie. Are you ill?

I never thought I was stressed,
but my body begged to differ.

These Lactobacillus pills
will rejuvenate me.

You should cut down on work.

One program is enough,
but you're too greedy.

This is good for women.

-Let's get a dog.
-Raising dogs requires a lot of work.

But we don't have any kids.

There are more families with dogs
then those without now.

It'll develop separation anxiety
from being home alone.

-And who'll take care of it?
-I will.

I'll bathe and clean up its mess.
I can take great care of it.

You can just adore it.

You'll take care of a dog instead of me?

-Okay.
-And I won't allow you to spoil a dog

like your father does.

He dotes on Dongmi
more than he does on his wife.

She's too kind.

Scratch my back, will you?

I see you still care about me.

I was worried you'd badmouth me

to your daughter-in-law.

You knew it'd do you no good.

Go watch some TV if you're bored.
Stop disturbing my sleep.

That tickles.

-What are you doing?
-Putting these socks on you.

-Let go!
-Come on!

Stay still.

-Gosh.
-Stop it!

Don't be mad. Come on.

-I won't do it again.
-What do you mean?

Of course, you always come before the dog.

Your actions don't back that up.

I was inconsiderate.

Should I put these on for you?

What should we tell the kids then?

I have grown older…

Yu-sin.

-Yes?
-We're here.

-I'll be back soon.
-Okay.

It's okay. Go straight home.

Will you be okay?

Yes.

I hope there are no intruders.

Didn't you change the password?

-How do you do that?
-Let me check inside first.

You're safe, so go to bed.
I'll change the password tomorrow.

Thank you again for today.

Do you have food in the fridge?

Have some tangerines.

They'll rejuvenate you and prevent colds.

Should I peel one for you?

-You should go home now.
-I'll call you tomorrow.

What time?

-When would you like me to?
-Anytime

Yu-sin.

-Yes?
-It's my first time

being all alone, away from home.

Are you scared?

But I can't stay with you.

Lock the door.

Can you put your jacket over me?

You should sleep in your bedroom,
not here.

You should go.

All right.

Don't come out to the balcony again.
You'll catch a cold.

-Why aren't you answering me?
-I'm going to come out.

Listen to me. I'm older than you.

Fine.

THIS PROGRAM WAS FILMED IN
COMPLIANCE WITH QUARANTINE GUIDELINES

TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19

Don't look at the world
so pessimistically.

If you look at it from a different angle…

Why are you still up? It's past 2 a.m.

Hey. I'm monitoring a performance.

It won't take long.

-A musical?
-Yes.

Well, you can say that.

-Do your best.
-Okay.

By the way,
you will make them breakfast, right?

Fine.

Are you up?

Hey, both of them left.

Really?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Aren't your muscles sore?

Just a bit.

-What kind of tea is that?
-It's burdock tea.

-Would you like some?
-Sure.

-It doesn't taste good.
-But it's good for you.

It is.

Not bad. It's savory.

-Ms. Song Won?
-Coming.

All right.

-Come and eat.
-Yes, ma'am.

What is today's menu?

-Red bean porridge?
-Yes.

You're so diligent.

You're second to none.

You like glutinous rice ba*ls, right?
I added a lot.

I hope your blood sugar levels skyrocket.

I know you need to boil
and sift the beans to make this.

I saw my mother making it once,
and it was very time-consuming.

You know I tend to be quick.

Even still…

Is that your breakfast?

Red bean porridge makes me nauseous
after I got sick because of it once.

So you made this just for me?

It wasn't hard to make.
Just time-consuming.

Eat up. It'll get cold.

I should cut down
on carbohydrates, though.

You're on medication anyway.

Eating good food and relieving stress
is healthier for you.

That's true. Stress is the root
of all illnesses.

Tell me about it.

It's good.

I'll make mung bean porridge tomorrow

for breakfast.

That sounds nice.

Porridge is good for breakfast.
It's easy to digest.

I know, but it requires
a lot of effort to make.

I just need to stir it slowly.

Is there anything you'd like to have?

No, you've given me
more than enough already.

Still.

What is it?

Your heart. That's all that I need.

But you already have it.

-Is it not enough?
-No, it isn't.

I'm a greedy girl.

Goodness.

Dad must've drunk,
judging by this dried pollack soup.

Yes. Call him over.

-Daddy!
-Coming.

-Mom, I want milk.
-No cold milk for breakfast.

Milk is dubbed the complete food.
It's packed with calcium too.

Have spinach instead.
Vegetables have more calcium than milk.

-Really?
-Yes.

Winter spinach is delicious.

I like it in gimbap, but not on its own.

There's not much I can eat here.

I'm not complaining though.

-Of course, you are.
-I'm just saying.

I should just mix the soup
with the rice like him.

Dried pollack soup and eggs
are nutritious.

There's kimchi, stir-fried mushrooms,
and jangjorim.

They're all scrumptious and nutritious.

Sure.

Honey, today's soup
is exceptionally delicious.

-Is there more?
-Yes.

Pack me some for lunch.

It tastes better because you're hungover.

You should drink less.
You're in your mid-forties now.

Your wonderful bowl of soup
made me feel all better.

Have something warm for lunch.

Use an insulated lunch box.

Of course, I'll do that, but…

There aren't many side dishes either.

I want everything here.

Are all of my dishes that delicious?

Yes. You're just perfect.

You're skilled, beautiful…

-And kind?
-No doubt about it.

I'm always eager to cook
because you compliment my food.

You should do the same.

Of all the moms I know,
you're the best. Period.

-You're the best daughter too.
-And me?

-You're the best husband.
-The best dad.

Your father-in-law wanted me
to go home with him.

I'm sorry. I was meaning to stay
for a few days and feed you two.

Thank you so much, Father.

Throw out your chest
and pull your body up slowly.

Okay. One.

Welcome.

What would you like?

-Soft tofu stew, please.
-Okay.

I ordered the same dish.

My friends came over yesterday
and ate all the meat.

Oh, no. Did they come empty-handed?

They brought cake and wine.

Do you like wine?

I enjoy a few glasses.

-Did you make the dressing yourself?
-Of course.

Maybe I should give it a try.
What's the recipe?

It's quite simple.

Adding mayonnaise or fruit
would make it taste better,

but I just enjoy the bland taste.

Tell me your recipe.

You're not a weekend couple, are you?

-No. She's just busy working.
-I see.

Shall I give you some?
Would you like to taste it?

That's barely enough for you.

I also have soft tofu stew.

-Ma'am, can I get a plate?
-Sure.

Thank you.

Aren't I causing you trouble?

You're supposed to share food.

Should I move to your table?

Sure.

Thank you.

It's refreshing.

It's good.

Can I ask where you are from?

-I'm from Seoul.
-I was born in Daejeon.

I moved to Seoul in high school.

I ate lots of vegetables growing up,
so I'm not picky.

We're the opposite.
I used to be a picky eater as a kid.

I thought so.

Do I seem picky?

Not at all.

People from rich families are picky
about their food. That's what I meant.

My family was ordinary.

May I ask how many siblings you have?
I have one older brother.

Of course. I have an older brother too.

I see. We're both the youngest.

I used to hate greens.

But I started eating them to be healthier,
and they grew on me.

Right?

-Did you peel the tomatoes?
-Yes.

It's much better.
I like the texture as well.

I bet your wife loves you
because you're not picky.

She does.

Your food is here.

It's hot. Be careful.

-You wanted half a bowl, right?
-Yes, thank you.

-Enjoy.
-Thank you.

I should have half a bowl as well.

Eat first. I like to take my time
since it's hot.

What? I can't eat hot dishes as well.

-Earthen pots make it worse.
-Right?

Can you tell me your salad recipe?

I use whatever vegetables I have.

Avocados, tomatoes…

-Welcome.
-Bell peppers, arugula…

Beets are good as well. As for the sauce…

I'll just text it to you.

Okay.

I don't have a business card.

-Give me your number.
-Okay.

I'm Pan Sa-hyeon.

You heard my name earlier, right?

Or do you not remember?

I do. Your trainer said your name.

You have a one-syllable first name.

Yes.

Two stir-fried spicy pork, please.

Okay.

Use this.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ji-a, Dad's going to work.

Well, I think we're around the same age.

Drop the honorifics.

I'm not that young.

How old do I look?

Late twenties or early thirties.

I'm 32 years old.

Add ten more years, and that's my age.

Don't joke around.

I'm serious. I'm 42 years old.

What? What's your secret?

No way. You're joking, right?

-Why would I pretend to be older?
-Are you serious?

Gosh. Then should I call you Ms. Song?

Are you a culinary teacher?

No, I'm not.

Your stew won't taste good
if it gets cold.

Right.

I like getting older.

-Why?
-Because I can feel myself maturing

in various aspects.

You seem to be very patient.

Don't you give more than you take?

The elderly always say

that it's better that way.

Don't you think it's better
than taking more from others?

It is. But it's easier said than done,
to be honest.

It's not that complicated.

How could she be such an angel?

DEAR WIFE

It's my wife. Let me take this.

Sure.

-Hello?
-Honey, what do I do?

-What's wrong?
-There's a lump on the roof of my mouth.

What if I have oral cancer?

-Okay. I'll be right there.
-Hurry.

I'm sorry, but my wife needs me now.

You should hurry.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Your breakfast is here.

Oh, my.

It's dried pollack soup.
It'll help ease your hangover.

Don't wash the lunch box.
I'll pick it up in the evening.

-Hello?
-Yu-sin. Look at the balcony.

Go inside. It's cold.

-You should've rung the doorbell.
-You'll catch a cold. Go on.

Talk inside.

I have a meeting with the agency,
so I'll come home late.

I need to buy some things too.

My dinner appointment
will end around 8 p.m.

-Okay.
-How do you feel? Nauseous?

I was, but not anymore.

You should eat now.

Thank you, Doctor.

What was the point in us
drinking last night?

We finished the entire whiskey
so we'd drop the honorifics.

I can't help it when I feel touched.

Should I do this daily?

-I'll get going.
-Bye, Yu-sin.

Bye.

-Are you washing up?
-I'm pooping.

All that he does is eat and poop.

-Yu-sin's family is coming for dinner.
-Okay.

I bet he'll be farting
on his deathbed as well.

Feel the roof of your mouth
with your tongue.

-Do you feel any lumps?
-No.

See? What should I do?

Let me see.

There's a small lump around my uvula.

Let's get a checkup first.
Let me get changed.

You don't have time to get changed.

Call the hospital immediately.
You're a VIP there.

My dad is, not me.

-Then tell him right now.
-Do you want him to worry?

Of course, he should. This is serious.

MOM

-Yes?
-Are you busy?

Why?

I was just curious

-if things were going well for you.
-Everything's fine.

-What about Ji-a?
-Both she and Yu-sin are doing well.

-Okay.
-Bye.

-Grandma!
-Hello.

Goodness.

What's all that?
Did you go grocery shopping?

Yes.

Hello, Ji-a.

What? Why are you bowing?

Because you're the oldest family member.

What's more important
is that I'm your grandpa.

Be more thorough, will you?

I thought kids just had to study hard.

Who said that?
So are you the top student in your class?

No, but I'm doing my best.

Imagine life without Mom and Dad.

Do you think you'll be fed
and your laundry will be done

if studying is all you do?

You should take more responsibility.

Besides, you're not a kid anymore.

Elementary students are still kids.

-Look at your size.
-I'm on the shorter side.

The tall kids are over 160cm.

I meant your build, not your height.

To be honest…

About what?

How do I put this? Jealousy?

I think you hate me sometimes.

Don't be so dramatic.

Every time Mom and Dad aren't home,
you make me do chores.

At times, I feel like your sl*ve.

Did you brush my hair or clean my shoes?

How could you say that?
I'm cleaning as well.

Am I to clean four rooms, the kitchen,
and the living room by myself?

I even folded the laundry.
And it's such a hassle to do that.

And why would I hate you?

Because you think Mom and Dad
love me more.

Is that what you think?

You're right. It can't be helped
that their love for me and you

is similar but different.

You're the youngest, a late child,
and have a great personality.

You're a bit lazy, though.

Aren't you upset about it?

I'm not. Do you know why?

Because you're an angel?

No, because I love you too.

-Really?
-Yes, I do.

-I feel proud of you a lot of times.
-Like when?

Despite being the youngest,
you're surprisingly considerate.

How do you feel about me?

I feel the same way.
I can't live without you.

Don't change even after you get married.

I won't. Same goes for you.

-Women don't change.
-My friend's sister did.

Is he a late child too?

Yes. His oldest sister is 26 years old.

After she got married, she took
all the good things from his house.

Look at you.

He only gets chatty and laughs
when Ji-a is around.

-You bought chicken?
-Yes, for spicy braised chicken.

Goodness. Yu-sin had some yesterday.

I know. I want to learn your recipe.

And Yu-sin has dinner plans tonight.

-He can't come?
-No.

I just eyeball the ingredients.

That's what I want to learn.

Now, just boil it. That's it.

There must be some details
that make yours different.

If anything, it's just my touch.

She doesn't want to let me know.

Gosh. Just go watch some TV.

You're not a housewife.

Don't walk on eggshells
around your in-laws.

I'm not.

-How about seasoning?
-Add adequate amounts.

Wait. Shouldn't you add sugar first?

Right.

It shouldn't be too sweet.

I'll take over from now on. You can stop.

Here.

Just drizzle the sesame oil like this.
That tastes better.

I'm sorry.

Right.

CALLS

SONG WON

MS. SONG WON

This is Pan Sa-hyeon. I was in a hurry
and forgot to pay for the soft tofu…

I forgot to pay for my food. I'm sorry.

Tomorrow's breakfast is on me.

MS. SONG WON

She'll understand, right?
It was a mistake.

Yesterday,

Yu-sin said he could never get sick
of this dish.

Pi-young bought the groceries.

There's no soup, though.

Don't bother. This is enough.

Eat up, Princess.
You said you were hungry.

Okay. Thank you for the meal.

-Your mom did everything.
-Not at all.

Parboiling squid and wrapping it
in green onions is a lot of work.

-Please stop calling me "Princess."
-Why not?

What if I end up thinking of myself
as a real princess?

You're our one and only princess.

This is strange. Could it be
because I'm having it two days in a row?

-What's wrong? Is it not tasty?
-A bit.

As they say,
things never go the way we wanted.

We wanted to feed you something good.

It's not bad, Grandma.

Not bad isn't enough.

You should have a great dinner
when you're here.

Sleep over.

I promise I'll cook you
something delicious tomorrow morning.

-You should.
-I can't sleep if I'm not in my bed.

You slept well during your vacation.

That's true.

You must be sad that we sold off
the house in the US.

I am, but it can't be helped.

We rarely went there.
It was a taste paying the taxes.

Oh, dear. This is a failure.
It's not seasoned right.

Don't eat this.
I'll have to season it again tomorrow.

Have some salted pollack roe
and oysters instead.

Pi-young bought some fresh ones.

I'm sorry, but we're having
a gathering after work.

You can sleep first.

Okay.

Is Ms. Song upset?

She's not the type to get upset.

MS. SONG WON

The number is switched off.
You'll be directed to voicemail.

-Goodness, you're good at everything.
-You have great pronunciation.

You're an all-rounder.

What does that mean, Grandpa?

I'm on my way.

You're getting prettier and smarter

-every day.
-Mother.

I'm taking some of the fruit you have.

We should eat them
while they're still fresh.

Sure. Your father-in-law's former patients
are still sending us fruit.

-Put this on.
-Okay.

Goodness. Are you leaving?

You must be tired.
She wears you out every time she visits.

Is he a shoe or something?
How would I wear him out?

Girls are certainly different.

Yu-sin would barely answer my questions
when he was a kid.

Not to me.
We talked about all sorts of things.

-Is that so?
-Yes.

You were too busy with work
to chat with him.

That's true.

You took great care of him at all times.

Thanks to you, I could focus on work.

-You should rest now.
-Okay.

Let's all go skiing
before the winter's over.

Why don't you make time
for a two-night trip at least?

-I'm starting a new program.
-Then we can go without you.

Yu-sin can handle Ji-a alone.

She's all grown up now.

Why would I tell you my recipe?
What a sly fox you are.

That little…

This is your mom's spicy braised chicken.
I brought some for you.

She made this?

No.

PI-YOUNG

MOTHER-IN-LAW

Ji-a, call Grandma and tell her
that I'm driving.

Okay.

PI-YOUNG

-Hey, why did you take--
-Grandma, it's me.

-Hey.
-Mom's driving right now.

Okay. Tell her to call me
once she gets home.

Okay.

How rude. She didn't even ask me.

Aren't you going to sleep?

You can go to bed first.
I need to clean the kitchen.

Why don't you leave that
to the housekeeper?

Let her do her job.
I have something to take care of.

What were you up to?

I surfed the internet
and organized my schedule.

You should get a TV first.

-Did you wash it?
-No, I don't have any detergent.

I changed the password.

I searched the internet
and found a tutorial.

Good, then.

-You're leaving already?
-Yes, you changed it.

Wait. I just didn't want
to inconvenience you.

I should do what I can.

-Good for you.
-It's your license plate number.

-Why would you tell me that?
-I don't want any misunderstandings.

What do you mean?

It doesn't matter who changed it.
It's not a big deal.

Would you like to see me off
instead of looking down from the balcony?

Come out. I'll wait by the elevator.

Did you have dinner?

Yes, with Gyeong-hui,
my dad's friend's daughter.

You had a busy day again.

You bet.

She brought me around
to teach me how to do things.

I'm going to the US tomorrow.

I have so many things I need.

-You're leaving when you just grew on me?
-Did I?

I guess it's just me.

-When will you be back?
-Next Tuesday.

Do you want to walk?

Let me put this in the car.

Does your wife know about me?

No. There's no need to tell her.

But I ate the lunch
she had packed for you.

Don't think about who the food is for.
Just enjoy it.

That's how you show respect
for the person who made it.

Anyway, I felt so grateful
while eating it.

Both to you, who brought it,
and your wife.

Although I've never met her.

-I got over my hangover.
-She's a good woman.

She'll love it if I tell her
that I fed a poor little lamb.

No one has ever taken pity on me.

You came to Korea alone during the winter,
hoping to succeed.

It tugged at my heartstrings.
You wouldn't know that expression.

My paternal grandparents were from Honam.

I know it very well.

-Will you buy me a gift?
-What should I buy?

What do you like?

People.

-Male or female?
-Both.

You can be honest with me.

I mean it. I'm popular among men too.

My colleagues love me.

But I can't buy people.

I'll buy you a doll.
A boy doll or a girl doll?

Why did you wear heels at night?

I didn't want to look too short.

Goodness. You're trying so hard.

Grab my arm. Don't trip again.

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

I realized earlier in the car that
there are so many restaurants in Korea.

That's how it is here.

I could easily gain weight in Seoul.

Aren't you going to learn Pilates?

Is your equestrian center far?

It's in Bundang.
With no traffic, it takes 30 minutes.

I bet you look cool on a horse.
I want to see it.

Buy some riding uniforms
while you're back in the US.

-It's much cheaper there.
-Okay.

Do you recognize this smell?

-Have you had baked sweet potatoes before?
-No.

It's over there.

-How much?
-Three for 5,000 won.

Three, please.

-Here you go. It's hot.
-Okay.

-Thanks.
-Thanks.

It smells fantastic.

Kids in Korea these days say "totally."

-"Totally fantastic"?
-Yes.

-I totally love it.
-Love what?

Having baked sweet potatoes

for the first time
on a winter night in Seoul,

and walking with you.

But I'm taking this home.

Fine, then.

Should we eat on a bench?
Or take it home if you're cold.

The bench.

Let me. Your nails will get dirty.

A snack for the stray cats.

Are you sure it's not a feast for mice?

There aren't many mice here.

I know there's a bunch in the US.

You're so sweet.
You're a good husband and dad, right?

They rarely complain.

Are all Korean men like you?

-What did the dramas show you?
-There were many bad guys there too.

You've heard about my first love.
Now, it's your turn.

Don't you have a boyfriend?

Not right now.
If I did, he would've come too.

When did you have
your first serious relationship?

I've never had one,

not even an exhaustingly
demanding relationship.

Speaking from experience,
lukewarm relationships aren't that great.

But everything has meaning.

Why is your stepmom your first love?

She was the most beautiful woman
in my eyes when I was little.

She was like an angel.

-Is she pretty?
-Yes. She still is.

How do you feel about her now?

She's like a friend and an older sister.

I call her Ms. Kim in a friendly way.

How does she feel about you?

Probably the same way I do.

A reliable son and a younger brother.

A mischievous little brother.

What's important is,

nothing has changed
throughout the decades.

She always listens intently to what I say.

She's never been annoyed by me, I think.

Did you ever want to marry her as a kid?

Is this Truth or Dare?

I'm just asking.

She and my dad got married
less than two years

after my birth mother passed away.

I didn't know back then.

But I think they had
feelings for each other

even back when my mother was alive.

Here.

It's so good.

You're not eating?

I'm full. I had too much for dinner.

They say you never know
what the future holds.

-What if you don't return?
-Is that what you want?

No.

Do you want me to come back?

Whether you're here or in the US,
you should do what you want.

You must be thirsty
since there's no water.

I was enjoying it.

You could get indigestion again.

Wash your hands at my place.

I have wet wipes in my car.

It's cold. Get in the car for a bit.

-Guess what this is.
-A gift?

-Yes.
-Cookies.

-You can't get off until you get it right.
-Chocolate?

-Candy?
-No.

A cake. Bread.

Put your seat belt on.

Let me sniff it.

-Who the hell are you?
-I'll wait until you change your mind.

How did you know I'm a fortune-teller?

So this is about Nam Ga-bin?

She's perfect for you.

I won't be shackled at this age.

This is Nam Ga-bin.

Remember how I offered
to treat you to a meal before the seminar?

Do you have a date in mind?

-Any day will be fine.
-Why isn't she calling me back?

I'm sure she's back home now.

That ungrateful wench.

She couldn't have married Yu-sin
if it wasn't for me.

Don't you think Pi-young…

Don't you also feel like she belittles me?

-Why barely?
-I couldn't sleep.

-Were you excited?
-I have something to say.

Could you please come back here?

-Why not?
-I see you as a woman.

-Let's go anywhere.
-Heaven or hell?
