Sea of the Woman (그 여자의 바다)

My goodness. When did you cook all this?

You cook so fast and well.

Dad eats well in the afterlife thanks to his daughter-in-law.

That's for the service.

Eat this instead.

Can you watch the restaurant for me today?

I have to buy a few more things to prepare.

Sure, I'll do that.

You'll see my brother today.

Even though he loves his mistress and son,

I can't believe he only comes by for holidays or services.

You haven't seen him since Lunar New Year, right?

Can I help you with anything?

Not really. I think I can manage.

Then I'll go and wash my face.

I noticed your light was on when I went to the toilet at dawn.

Were you studying for your exam?

Yes.

You're scary. Who do you take after?

How dare an aunt say that to her niece?

She's not scary, she just works hard.

You wouldn't know what it's like to study.

Look here, Mr. Ko. I'm more educated than you are.

Soo In, will you come first again?

You shouldn't say "again". Wasn't she second last time?

Didn't you say the noodle maker's daughter came first?

You remember all sorts of things. Ms. Oh, you're awfully smart.

Soo In, which of your parents did so well in school?

Do you take after your mom or dad?

Could it be me?

I dare say me.

What?

Why would Soo In take after you?

It was a joke. There's no need to shout.

You're really strange.

Mom.

It's Grandpa's memorial day. Come straight home after school.

When you see Dad, greet him nicely.

Don't make a face and get scolded like last time.

Okay?

Why won't you answer?

Okay.

Wake your sister. Let's eat breakfast.

Okay.

Jung In, wake up.

A few more minutes.

No, it's time for school. You have to get up.

I don't want to.

Even after this? Really?

Stop it, Soo In, I'll get up. I'm up now.

Get up.

Here you go.

Min Jae, a man...

must not be a picky eater.

Okay? Eat up.

Good boy.

When I grow up...

will I become a great man like you?

Do you think I'm great?

Yes.

You're such a good boy.

Eat.

You know it's your father's death anniversary today, right?

Yes.

Be nice to everyone.

Treat Soo In and Jung In with affection.

- Soon Ok needs... - I know.

I'll deal with it.

I won't stay after the service.

Why not?

Don't worry about me. Spend the night there.

Min Jae, shall we have some bean sprouts?

There you go. You're such a good boy.

Eat up.

- See you. - Bye.

Dad, have a nice day.

I will, son.

It's cold. Go on inside.

I will. I'll bring you your lunch.

Okay. See you later.

Mr. Bang, you're out early.

Hello. I'm expecting a delivery today.

- Did you just come in? - Yes.

You got a delivery last week. Did you sell all that already?

A sewing factory nearby got an order for a uniform.

They needed some fabric.

You're raking in all the money in the neighborhood.

Not really.

How about a drink this evening? I'll treat you.

A drink? I'd like...

I can't. I have to attend a memorial service.

Too bad. Some other day, then.

- Okay. Have a good day. - Thanks, you too.

This one...

Is it okay now?

It's working fine.

Sir.

Why are you doing this?

Give me that. I'll do it.

- Does it matter who does it? - Yes. I must do it.

Thanks. Do you know we're getting more flour today?

Of course, sir. That's why I'm here early.

Have a good day.

Eat well, sweetie.

I can't focus on the questions if I eat too much before a test.

Really? Then eat a little less for breakfast...

and eat a huge dinner.

Will you look at the time?

I have to visit a business partner.

Hire someone to manage the sales.

You work too hard.

I can manage on my own just yet.

Dad, can you take me to school today?

So I can study on the way.

Of course, I'd be glad to.

Eat up.

Can you come first in your class?

I'm not sure.

- Why not? - Because of Soo In.

Soo In?

Oh, the girl who came first in the last test?

No, I came first in the previous test.

Soo In came first before that.

You both took a turn each.

I don't want to take turns.

It's good to have a competitor. It helps you do better.

I don't like coming second.

Don't say that. You should be friends.

Soo In is my best friend.

She's the only one on my level.

Oh, right, Dal Ja.

Before making the broth, soak the meat in water first.

If you don't because it's a hassle, you'll ruin the taste of the broth.

Soon Ok, I did it once, just once.

Stop bugging me about it.

Don't you think I'll forget you own this place?

Get going.

- See you. - Bye.

- Take care. - Bye.

- See you. - Bye.

Here I go.

Mr. Yoon.

Hello there.

How is business?

It's always the same.

Mr. Kwon, about the investment.

Have you heard back?

Will you please wait?

How much longer? It's been three months.

Don't you know I took out a loan to pay you?

I can't sleep at night because I hear the interest...

stacking up in my dreams.

I told you not to worry, didn't I?

It's a government business which is why...

the process is taking some time, that's all.

I'll pay you back a few dozen-fold, so don't worry.

I helped you make a profit last time, didn't I?

Yes, you did.

But I'm worried that it's taking time.

Confucius said, "If there's no faith, there's no standing."

You won't achieve anything without faith.

Trust me and wait a bit more.

I will make you incredibly rich.

Okay, then. I trust you with everything.

I said don't worry.

I should get going.

Go on. Bye.

Is something wrong?

What? No, not at all.

I'm starving. Let's eat lunch.

Min Jae, let's go in and have lunch.

Come on inside. Let's eat.

Is it memorial day? You'll see your husband, then.

You'll spend some quality time with him.

Here, this looks good.

I hope he knows what today is.

He's always been a bit scatter-brained.

Don't just eat kimchi. Have this as well.

I can feed myself.

I'm offering to feed you, aren't I?

- Open wide. - Stop it.

Come on. Eat this.

There's no need to feel embarrassed.

There you go. Isn't it tasty?

Poor me.

I'm slaving away setting the table for his own late father.

It's stepmother.

Stepmother!

Soon Ok, let me carry that for you.

Don't you dare touch this.

Do you have to be so mean?

Do you know it's your father's memorial day?

Of course I do. Did you think I wouldn't?

Goodbye, stepmother.

How rude. She won't even accept a kid's greeting.

Min Jae, come inside and finish your lunch.

Is he that happy?

He knows no shame. Doesn't he mind other people watching him?

Mr. Ko.

What have you done? What a waste!
