Iron Lady Cha (Invincible Lady Cha / Boolgoolui Chayeosa / 불굴의 차여사)

The highest ranking grandmother.

Her name is Oak Boon Lim.

James.

Grandma.

How did you come here?

Where’s your mom?

I came by myself.

How come?

I came to meet you.

You really came here alone?

Yes. I had to ask you something.

He’s very clever, Ms. Chair.

Let me hear what you have to say.

What did you want to tell me?

Why do you hate me?

Hate you?

You used to adore me but why did you get mad when you met me here?

I wasn’t mad. I was just surprised.

When did you first meet your dad?

Just recently.

I wanted to meet him since a baby.

What’s your daddy’s name?

Jisuk Kim.

He’s exactly like him.

I don’t hate you.

Should we go to our house?

To your daddy’s house.

I have to ask my mom.

Let’s call her at my house.

No!

Just tell me why you hate me.

Because of your mom.

My mom? Why?

Let’s go to my house first.

Will you tell me there?

Yes.

I’ll tell you in your daddy’s room.

You like him, don’t you?

I have to call my mom first.

Let’s do it at your daddy’s house.

Don’t cry. Hush.

Don’t cry.

Hush. Hush.

Hush.

James.

What are you doing, Grandma?

She hates me.

You’re too cruel. Even to my son!

Let’s go.

If you make James cry again, I won’t forgive you!

Such a ruthless old woman.

Why are you doing this?

Grandma. What did you do to James?

He’s done nothing wrong.

James sure is your son.

I don’t like Hayoung.

And the fact that she’s James’ mom.

I don’t want Hayoung to raise my great grandson.

Let’s bring James.

You like him because he’s your own blood.

Please don’t be unreasonable.

Don’t hurt my son.

I won’t forgive anyone that hurts my son.

James is the only heir of mine as you used to emphasize.

Jisuk.

Why don’t you try to understand me?

Grandma.

James is my son.

My son.

Jisuk.

I converted 50 euro to Korean won including the interest.

Satisfied?

When did you know it was me?

Since you mentioned about studying in Paris.

I couldn’t go not because I ran away but because I was sick.

I meant to pay you back.

What an excuse.

Do I look like someone who’d rip off 50 euro?

Yes. You look like a smoother operator.

I was crazy to sell you 10 bracelets believing you forgot your wallet.

I was crazy.

That’s not it.

I’m getting upset.

Did you forget getting mad is bad for my heart?

Oh, okay.

Sorry, fine.

Since you paid me back, I won’t hate that black mask guy again.

Don’t get mad.

Please.

I should’ve gone back to Hong Kong.

Your grandma… She’s so cruel.

I’ll never forgive her if she hurts James. I won’t stand it.

She won’t do that.

You heard her.

She was going to take him home.

I’m nervous. I’m scared and afraid.

She’s just too attached to me.

Consider it her obsession for her one and only grandson.

It’s all my fault.

I’m going to keep my promise with James.

I’ll have him stay by you until he matures.

I won’t go back.

I’m going to face her.

Yes.

Grandma is my problem.

I’ll take care of her.

You scared me.

Why do you keep coming here every day?

Not sure.

You don’t want me to? You used to like it.

Depends on why you come.

Just eat this.

You told me to only drink mixed grains.

Is this a bribe?

You want to date a woman?

Date?

Yes.

You’re not intending to live alone forever.

Will you die a widower?

I’m too old for a blind date.

Don’t be coy.

Hey, tell me what kind of a woman you like.

Then will you bring her?

See? Just tell me.

You’d like a younger woman, right?

Her age… I couldn’t be greedy when I’m this old.

Really?

Then what about your age? A friend-like age is fine?

What about a woman with children?

No?

Look at you.

If I can even love her children, why not?

You can raise her ex’s children?

If I love her…

I should embrace everything.

What do we do about you?

About what? That’s called love.

Will you just sit back like this?

Nope, I shouldn’t.

Do something.

It’s our chance to have a rich son-in-law.

Come on.

Rich son-in-law.

Spring just brushed by us.

It’s hot now. It’s summer.

It’s still chilly.

Yes, it is.

Why are you saying it’s hot?

Kyungshik.

Yes?

Mom.

Your ideal type is Hejin, right?

Me? Why?

Frankly speaking…

She’s not my type.

What’s wrong with her?

Are you talking behind my back?

Then what kind of a girl do you like?

What are you talking about?

She must smile a lot.

Are you talking about me?

I’m not interested in guys.

Then get interested.

No. I told you I have a dream.

No thanks to men until then.

I’m also not interested in women.

Did you go grocery shopping?

Why? Didn’t Yoonhee promise to order online?

But I’m more comfortable in picking fresh food on my own.

I guess I’m old fashioned.

Yes, you are.

It’s hard taking care of many family members.

And I can’t even show. Too much work.

Is your father-in-law okay?

Why?

He looked weak.

He eats well and he seemed quite peaceful.

Good then.

I wonder if he has some problem.

Please tell me if you hear any rumors.

Yoonhee.

Yes?

Pour some sesame oil here.

Yes, Mother.

Oh no, Mother…

You poured too much.

Look delicious.

Good with lots of sesame oil.

Oil shouldn’t dominate the taste. Food should have natural texture.

We’re here. Nice sesame oil smell.

What made you come to the kitchen?

Why? I wasn’t in the kitchen before?

Are you telling me to stay away from the kitchen?

No, you might bother them since it’s crowded here.

Bother them? You don’t sound too nice.

You only come to eat.

Oh, be quiet.

Just go to the livingroom. You stay, Jeongsook.

Off we go.

Bothersome my gosh…
