New Wise Mother Good Wife (Wise Mother Shin / Modern Housewives / 신 현모양처 / Sinhyeonmoyangcheo)

I want to be a good wife and mother when I grow up.

I don't have a mom.

She passed away when I was 5.

That's why I don't have a mom waiting for me when I come home.

When I grow up, I want to be a mom who waits for her kids at home.

I want to be a good mom and a good wife.

I want my help my husband and kids to become leaders of Korea!

- Episode 1 - Men nowadays...

...have a different definition of what a good wife and mother is.

What kind of a wife and mother do Korean men want now?

First of all, men want women who are financially settled.

Because of the rising prices and housing costs, men want a double-income family.

Second of all...

...men want women who can increase assets through smart investments.

They also wanted women to be up to date...

...on information regarding childrearing.

Thank you! Thank you!

Moreover, they expect women to carry out the traditional role of a housewife.

They want women to be a professional at home as well.

Don't watch it.

It's not that good.

I can't believe it's on the news now.

I know you're happy!

You got the scoop of the month with that modern good wife and mother article.

Here.

Maybe your wife is a modern good wife and mother.

Maybe that's why you thought of such a fine idea like that.

That's right.

Modern good wife and mother?

My wife?

Gosh, this is giving me a headache.

You can leave that here and take this instead.

Okay.

Damn knockoff...

Get off, Eun-Suk.

Listen to your teacher and don't talk during class.

Okay.

Guk-hee.

Hi.

Are you going to Gi-Suk's kindergarten registration?

Of course!

A lot of people stand in line since the day before.

Are you coming?

I'm going to send my housekeeper.

Call me if she does something wrong.

Sure, I will.

Hello.

Hi. Bye.

Because of this...

Mom cannot sleeping well, you know?

You're embarrassing me.

You have a horrible accent.

No, that's wrong.

Because...

Since we can't afford American tutors, you need to practice with me.

Go.

Where's my homework?

What do you think?

I'm good, aren't I?

The other kids told me that their afterschool art teacher...

...made their projects for them.

Mine looks the worst.

But mine's much better than the ones other moms made.

During art class...

Hello?

What?

Mom!

Uh-huh!

- I'll be there to pick up Gi-Suk. - Gosh...

What are you going to do?

I'm going to be graded on this!

I have to pick up Gi-Suk...

I'll make sure it's ready for art class.

I promise!

Oh, my legs.

Today's the last payment, right?

You're finally going to be a homeowner.

Congratulations.

I've been losing sleep because I'm excited.

Good job.

I heard that they're going to open another market chain!

We're just a local market!

They're driving me out of business!

Can't you do something about that hair?

Let's make this work!

Yes, sir.

Okay, I'll be there.

Now?

When he's acting like that?

Child Center

Hop on, Gi-Suk.

Where are we going?

Today's your kindergarten registration day.

Why is everyone running?

Why?

Why are you running?

Hold on.

Gi-Suk, get off.

I have to run.

Watch my bike until I get back.

Stop it!

Get in a line!

Whew...I got a number!

Excuse me, but...

What's this?

3 bowls of jajangmyeon, 5 bowls of champon?

That's our lunch order.

I've been waiting for years to get my kid in this kindergarten.

Help me!

Are you a double income household?

Yes, I make money too.

We have another slot for double income households.

I need proof of employment from you and your husband.

I work part-time, so I don't have anything like that.

We'll post a notice if someone opts out.

These women and I got here around the same time.

This isn't fair for me.

I know, but we don't have any empty slots.

I can't just leave like this!

This isn't fair!

Public kindergartens aren't supposed to do this!

I'm going to file a complaint!

What do you want me to do?

We didn't break any rules.

Do whatever you want.

I'm sorry!

Don't go!

Please, hear me out.

We don't have any money.

The kids are getting older, but we don't even own a home.

I don't even have time to take my wisdom tooth out...

...because I'm always working or taking care of the house.

I really need my kid to go to a public kindergarten.

I'm begging you.

But I can't help you.

Put me on the top of the list if someone opts out.

I'll keep this cell phone if you don't.

I won't even go home.

Please? I'm begging you.

We don't have any money.

Gi-Suk!

Mom!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Why isn't she back from the restroom?

I have constipation.

I'm sorry.

I'm a little sensitive because of the real estate contract.

It takes me forever in the restroom.

But this won't happen again.

I'm buying a house today.

This is all thanks to you.

My constipation will be gone after I buy that house.

I'll work harder from now on.

Do you know how long you've been gone?

I'm sorry, I'll never leave my station again.

Mom!

M-M-Mom?

Did you lose your mom?

How?

In this market?

I'll help you find your mom.

Excuse me! Has anyone lost their son?

Cut it out!

He looks exactly like you!

It's almost time for Eun-Suk's art class.

- Why is he still here? - I don't know.

Jung-Chul!

Where is he?

I need him to make deliveries.

Jung-Chul!

I'll do it!

Huh?

I'm a cashier, but I can make deliveries too.

I should help out when the market needs help, right?

I'll do it.

Hold tight, Gi-Suk.

Eun-Suk!

Class is over!

I couldn't turn my homework in!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Eun-Suk.

I'll make sure that I finish your science homework ahead of time.

Don't get mad.

Come on, Eun-Suk!

That's a good boy.

I love you!

I'm sorry.

You're on.

We're only going to play poker, okay?

Okay.

Myung-Pil, are you sure your wife's okay with unexpected visitors?

She's always ready when her husband needs her.

This is when a housewife comes in handy.

We can go anytime we want.

Hello, Honey.

My co-workers and I are going to play poker at our house today...

...to congratulate me for getting a reporter's reward.

There are going to be 4 people, including me.

What?
