The Suspicious Housekeeper (Soosanghan Gajungboo / 수상한 가정부)

You will do anything you are told to do?

Yes.

No matter what it is?

Yes.

Then... can you kill a person?

Episode 1

I didn't know you would come.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for your loss...

Department Head.

Say hello. She is my co-worker.

I'm Yoon Song Hwa.

Are you okay? I was worried.

You were absent for two days in a row.

Did something happen?

No, I just had a cold.

Daddy! Daddy! Daddy...

What's wrong, Hye Gyeol?

Am I a pitiful child?

Huh?

Somebody called me a motherless pitiful child.

- Who called you that?! - No, Hye Gyeol.

Why would you be pitiful? You have us.

Mommy...

Hye Gyeol..

Mom...

Hye Gyeol!

Hye Gyeol, look! I found your favorite doll for you.

It was hidden in your luggage. It took me half a day to find.

Good job, right?

Do you want to play with this?

This... mom made it.

Mom. Mom! Mom.

Don't cry, Hye Gyeol.

Mom. Mom!

Mom.

Mom!

Even sunbae's life is having trouble now.

Your team's project will be hit hard.

Right, Yoon Song Hwa?

Right. It's only now

that I can believe that he's a father to 4 children.

Mom.

Woo Seon Yeong

49 days later.

Gyeol's House

6:30 am

What are you doing, Noona.

Why didn't you wash my basketball clothes?

Noona. Is there any food?

If not, I'll just go to school. I have mid-terms coming up.

Okay. Wait.

This isn't a refrigerator but a empty box. Empty box.

Can't you act more like the oldest in the family?

What's with you? Don't you see?

I've prepared it since yesterday.

Hye Gyeol.

Wake up, you have to go to Kindergarten.

Give that back to me. That has mom's scent on it.

Okay, what's your order?

I want bibimbap.

I want barbequed chicken.

I want marinated grilled ribs. What about you, Hye Gyeol?

That.

Hey!

Make me steamed eggs.

How do you expect her to make that?

You are so immature.

Unni, you said you'll be my mom!

Can't you make that for me?

Hye Gyeol.

I'm just tired of eating triangle kimbap each day.

Where's dad? I have something to tell him.

Dad, hurry and come out!

What are you doing? Are you asleep in there?

I'll come out!

Okay okay.

Are you not eating?

Yeah. I will.

Right. Dad, you have to talk to my teacher.

Why?

While we were in the Philippines, I had an advantage because it was an international school.

But my condition is very dark right now.

What does that have to do with the conference?

The conference is for my applying to international middle school.

Right, international middle school.

I need my teacher's recommendation,

and I need to write a good personal essay, too.

It's really complicated. But you don't know anything, Dad.

Okay. I'll try to make time.

What about our oldest daughter?

There's no problem with school, right?

Drink.

Getting adjusted to the school is second. I wish she was better at housework.

So I was thinking...

I have something to say to you all.

Han Gyeol is suffering a lot. And I have lots of work.

So from today...

Who are you?

I am the housemaid sent from Happiness Agency.

Oh! Oh! Yes.

May I come inside?

Oh oh oh sorry.

I thought it would be someone more older...

Aigoo. We have so many kids here and It's a bit messy.

Aigoo. Here.

I have it.

Han Gyeol, Doo Gyeol, Se Gyeol and this is the youngest, Hye Gyeol.

She's going to work for us.

From today, from 7 in the morning to 9 at night,

She will be helping around our house.

Why a housemaid?

Noona, did you know?

Today is 49 days since your mother left...

What is '49 days'? Dad, what's that?

49 days. Well it is...

What do you call it...

Han Gyeol, you tell her.

I asked what '49 days' is!

Oh 49 days...

Hey. Is there anyone who explain it to her so she can understand?

49 days...

Is the time a dead person dwells on earth before moving onto the next life.

Since people have mourned for the dead plenty during that time

and decides to forget about the dead.

The 49th day was set by the survivors so they can be at peace and not worry about the dead anymore.

Are you telling me to forget about her (mother)?

No, she'll always be by my side!

She's still young, so she can't quickly accept it .

My wife got into an accident in that river.

Then...

May I look around your house for a bit?

Oh, oh, yes. Go ahead, go ahead.

What do you want us to call you?

Ordinarily, don't people call them 'Aunt'?

Then, call her 'Aunt' if you'd wish.

The word 'Aunt' is used for your mother's sister,

But I am not your mother's sister, so don't call me that.

But, this 'Aunt' isn't the same as the other one!

We can just call her ahjumma (old lady).

Then, I'm sorry... But your name is?

I...

My name is Park Bok Nyeo.

How old-fashioned!

What's with Park Bok Nyeo?

Bok Nyeo-nim?

Then, I'll just call her that.

I'll have to buy toilet paper and cleansers for the bathroom. And get rid of the mold.

I'll fix the kitchen drains and...

Fill the refrigerator with groceries.

I'll also put new soil into the flowerpots and fertilize them.

For everyone's rooms, shall I just maintain their state

but make sure they are as clean as possible?

Yes. Please do so.

Here... What should be done?

Well... Someday, we will have to clean this up...

Ahjumma! Don't touch these things!

Why? Are you going to hold on to them all your life?

We can't throw it away. It's Mom's belongings!

Eun Doo Gyeol, Eun Se Gyeol. Be quiet.

Noona, then what do you want to do with this room?

Unni, let's not throw it away. Okay?

Well, for now, let's just leave everything.

Yes. I understand.

Yes.

If you don't hurry, you are going to be late.

Because of the strike of subway workers, the traffic will be congested.

Get ready fast!

Don't be late.

Why doesn't she smile at all?

Doesn't smile? Who?

The new housemaid.

Why doesn't she smile?

It's weird!

If she's here to work for us,

shouldn't she at least try to smile to get on our best side?

You're saying this because you don't want to go to school, right?

Is it just in my eyes (perspective)?

Why do I feel bad?

Do you feel fine with her?

A housemaid is just a simple laborer who helps with housework.

Doing the things we ask her is enough. Should there be a need for her to make an effort

to try to build a relationship with us?

Hyung, you're expecting too much.

When was I doing...so much?

Even if it's simple housework overdoing it...

What was it you said...?

Look at this brat using difficult words!

There's no need to send me off.

Your neck-tie.

Yes.

Hello, Han Gyeol's father.

Hello.

She's the neighbor's... Eo Jin's mother.

And this is...

I am housemaid Park Bok Nyeo.

Yes.

As we captured the criminal,

Whether it was an illegal method or not--

It's weird.
