When Life Gives You Tangerines (폭싹 속았수다)

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES

Can we get more squid soup?

- Sure thing. - Of course.

Are we reading this or not?

"A village over…"

Welcome!

Welcome!

You have to wait a bit.

- We'll call you soon. - Thank you.

Please wait a moment.

Guys, I told you the line here is really long.

And at last, the bells began to dance in the heart of the forest,

along with the sound of card swipes.

I can't retire because of Ae-sun.

The "trash dumpling" scandal is impacting even handmade dumpling shops.

The nightmare chicken shops experienced during the bird flu

is now hitting dumpling shops.

Choi Ji-woo was here.

Let me wrap this for you.

I'll make you an amazing wrap. Here.

Open up.

Stop glaring at customers asking for more squid soup.

- Let's eat this. - You should fix what needs fixing.

Your daughter-in-law is a cut above mine.

I don't want it. You have it, Grandpa.

Who will you give it to?

Which grandpa will you give it to? Which one?

Here. That's right.

You can't ask with your mouth open.

- Can we have some more squid soup? - Of course!

- More soup here, please. - For us too.

Yes, of course.

Hey, why are you putting so much squid in? That's why they eat it by the potful.

Add squid soup to the menu, or you'll end up with nothing.

We need to hire people. This is too much work for you.

Who said it was too much for me?

That darn money made my mom dance.

Singing in the rain

Singing in…

Why are you going down the stairs like that?

Are you past menopause?

I don't know. It's strange.

I'm just so thrilled. Is this what having money feels like?

We're so busy from early morning to late night.

But it's not hard to keep going when the cash register keeps filling up.

Are you happy?

Yes, I'm so happy.

Maybe the heavens were stingy with us just to bless us all at once.

Deliveries during the World Cup.

Domestic duty-free stores in Jeju.

They also filmed All In in Jeju.

Joonggonara helped us catch Cheol-yong.

An actress endorsed our restaurant. How did all this happen?

It feels like we're suddenly raking in a huge bonus right now.

Honey, you know what? I think we should go on trips.

Let's go to Guam and China.

That damn Mi-suk gets to go, so why can't I?

Why do you always say, "That damn Mi-suk"?

If every day were like this, I'd want to live for thousands of years.

Singing in the rain

Singing in the rain

My diligent parents, who once plowed rocky fields,

became people who built landmarks.

THE ORIGINAL SQUID RESTAURANT

That damn Mi-suk.

How dare she call her place "the original"?

Did you take over all the squid in Jeju?

Do you have a patent for it?

Then do you have a patent for riding on someone else's success?

No, wait. Maybe a patent for getting a foot massage?

I told you

I had cramps in my toes!

Change your sign.

Change your menu!

Let her be.

I'm actually thankful.

It's better she competes with us for the same thing.

Yeah? Why's that?

The real deal always sells better when it's next to a knockoff.

Sir, can we get more squid soup?

Yes, of course.

Please sign here.

DDUKBAEGI SQUID SOUP 4,000 WON

There was someone

even Mom would always lose to.

Hey, daughter.

I told you I wanted to eat it myself!

Me! Me! I wanted to.

I wanted to!

And I had someone like that too.

Mom!

I wanted to do it!

Even a terrible 37-year-old needed a mother.

Oh dear. Come on.

I know she's in her terrible fours, but how can she do this?

All I did was feed her.

I fed her when she wanted to feed herself.

Say "bye-bye" to Mommy.

Bye-bye, I'll be back soon!

I only had eyes for my child, and Mom only had eyes for me.

She's gotten thinner.

I'll be back.

She's such a sly girl, acting all shy.

I knew a thousand of my daughter's expressions,

but I could picture hardly any of my mom's expressions.

I had no idea back then

that I'd one day remember my mom

only through photos of her with awkward expressions.

Dear me, you stubborn child.

Why don't you listen to your mom?

Even though you're my grandchild,

I get a bit upset if you wear my daughter out too much.

The person you take most for granted in the world

is the person

who's the most precious to me.

Please go easy on my daughter.

Please look after my daughter for a long time.

Okay?

Sleep, sleep, rock to sleep

My baby sleeps well…

For some reason…

Seriously?

…saying "thank you" felt so awkward.

Who asked you to clean the place?

And why did you clean the bathroom?

Go back to sleep. You said it was your day off.

Mom, this is exactly why I don't want to call you over.

Hey, Terrible Thirty-sevens,

just say thank you.

I can tell how you feel just by looking at your eyebrows.

So just put her down.

You said you're getting cupping on your back.

I swear,

Sae-bom is the first thing in my life

that's ever made things not go my way.

How can she be so stubborn?

She never says "yes" the first time.

Serves you right.

You have a daughter just like you.

Honestly, you were annoyed too, right?

How did you raise three kids?

You should always take the drumsticks and do whatever you want in life.

You need to live your life so you don't grow resentful.

If you keep doubting whether it's worth it and wondering if this is right,

even your kid can tell.

She can tell just by looking at your face.

You're Sae-bom's whole universe right now.

But

that won't last long.

One day,

you'll be a background figure in your child's life anyway.

So you just do more of what you want to do.

Mom, do you have regrets?

You couldn't do everything you wanted.

I did everything because I wanted to.

Oh Ae-sun the lonely orphan, Oh Ae-sun the maid,

and Oh Ae-sun the high school dropout.

The most wonderful title I've ever held

is being Geum-myeong and Eun-myeong's mother.

I've lived an extraordinary life in my own way.

Don't pity the life that I've lived.

You know,

maybe I lack maternal instinct.

Sometimes, I get so angry…

and I end up yelling at the kid.

I think I'm losing it.

Who becomes a mother overnight?

Your child will grow, and so will you.

Sae-bom.

Will you chew your food 100 times again tomorrow morning?

Will you change your clothes ten times?

Why do you give me such a hard time every morning?

Why?

If I eat early, you leave earlier.

Once I finish my food and get dressed,

you go to work.

Is that why you've been doing that? You didn't want me to go?

I'm sorry I yelled at you the other day, okay?

I'm so sorry.

Come here.

Oh dear.

Mommy loves you, Sae-bom.

I love you so much, okay?

Kisses.

A mother's daughter was growing into a mother herself.

Mom hoped her daughter's time with her own child wouldn't be too tough.

GINGER TEA CHOPPED VEGGIES

BLACK GARLIC

Throughout her life,

Mom always cut her own time to quilt mine together.

- Honey. - What is it?

You know the money we saved to buy Sae-bom a piano?

Can we spend it on my mom and dad?

I just have this feeling

that I'll regret it if I don't do it now.

Honey.

Yeah?

Why are you asking me?

You're the one

who gets to make the decisions.
