Queen of Reversals (역전의 여왕)

Queen of Reversals

One serving of dukbokki.

Episode 7

One more serving of fishcake, please.

Yes.

Honey...

Oh, you spilled the sauce on me.

Quick wipe it off.

Are you all right?

How can I be all right?

I'll pay for the laundry. How much will it cost?

How much can you give?

Can it be washed off?

If it can't, are you going to replace me a new dress?

What to do?

Student.

Go home, fill a tub with water, mix in some detergent plus 2 spoons of vinegar.

Soak the dress for a few hours.

And scrub it gently, the stain will come off.

And you, come and chat with me.

I am working.

I see, you want to fight during working hours.

Would you want to go home if you're given a bloody nose by your wife.

It wasn't on purpose.

Why stayed out all night without calling?

And what are you doing here?

What's the matter with you?

Coming without warning to create trouble at my workplace.

Trouble?

If I barge in and pull you out while you're negotiating a deal.

Isn't that creating trouble?

It's not the same.

Why not? It's just as important.

You may think my work with Dukbokgi is trivial.

It's very important to me.

I'm not saying it's not important.

The job doesn't come easy to me.

It was with much pleading with the boss that I got it.

After an apprentice of washing, cleaning and serving.

I finally earned the nod to learn the secret of cooking Dukbokgi.

I don't like you working here.

Spited by the students.

Why are you like this?

You care about my job.

Or I am embarrassing you by working here.

Why are you so obstinate?

You're not in your youthful 40's.

You're not even 40 and had menopaused.

Yelling every word at the top of you lungs.

Anyway I can't leave tonight, I'm going in.

Who's the woman who went shopping with you?

The supervisor told me.

You were seen shopping with a woman in an intimate manner.

She has long hair and eyes that tantalizes like a vixen.

Who is she?

You stayed out all night yesterday and now such words came to my ears.

You know how hurt I am?

Who is she?

Baek Yeo Jin.

What! Baek Yeo Jin!

You went shopping with her?

Not shopping with her but we met while shopping.

And stopped to exchange greetings.

You can't expect me to turn the other way.

Why not? You no longer work in the company.

What more can she do? Fire an already fired?

Either you ignored her or thrashed her.

Why greeted her and gave fodder to gossips?

Fine, I'll ignore her the next time we meet. Satisfied?

Come home early.

You really want to try this?

I want to prove to my wife who thinks I'm useless.

I'd wager with my life and pride.

Dukbokgi please.

We're closed.

Stated closing time is 10pm, there's still 10 mins left.

Finish in 5 mins and leave.

Have you eaten dinner?

Or you're too busy to eat.

You think I'm a pig.

I can't eat double portion, sit down and help me finish.

Why?

You're going to pretend not to know me in the future?

You want to open a shop?

You said your wife doesn't want you to work in the company

and she has absolute trust in you.

Doesn't seem like it.

You eavesdropped?

Your shouting match on the street attracted attentions.

I was intrigued when I passed by.

Don't bother with your wife's opposition.

With your amicable nature,

I'm sure you'll succeed.

I'm not lying.

When you were working in the cafe in Cheng-Dam Dong.

You were immensely popular with the female customers.

I dismissed you because of that.

And we had a furious quarrel over it.

It was unforeseen that we ended up like that.

Hot, hot, why is it so spicy?

Drink.

I'll send you home.

No need.

It's only 5 mins walk to home.

You're scared to be seen by neighbours.

Yes, very scared, so goodbye.

Hello.

What?

What did the doctor say?

No, it wont.

It happened before, I'm coming now.

What happened?

Nothing serious.

My mom's sickness acted up again.

She usually recovered by the time I rushed there.

No worry, you go home.

Are you all right?

Give me the keys, I'll drive you to the hospital.

Emergency resuscitation was given to her.

But the doctor feared the worst

and informed the family.

Speak softly, my mom can hear.

Please contact some immediate family.

If the worst happened, you'd be alone.

Ahjumma.

I'll stay tonight, you come by in the morning.

I know.

You too may go home.

Are you fine being alone?

If I'm not...

Will you stay with me?

It's all right, you go home.

This has happened many times.

Take your pick.

You still remember my shoe size.

It was said the only way to stop couples quarrel is don't marry.

However if quarrels arise, you must quarrel in the right way.

First correct the tone of speaking.

Rather than saying - What have you done or why you did this?

Use a gentler tone.

Like - So you did this...because of this...

So you were tired...

It must've been hard. You've worked hard.

Change your style of speaking.

Try to understand things from your partner's side.

The atmosphere would improve greatly.

Let's everyone practice.

First say, "So it was because of this".

"You've a hard time".

You've come back.

Yes.

You're home a little late.

Someone fell sick suddenly.

I visited him in the hospital.

Oh, a hospital visit.

You must be tired.

What happened to your voice?

What?

I know it's a ploy to make me give up the dukbokgi business.

It doesn't work.

So it don't work.

We got enough of quarrels.

Seeing you makes me want to start quarrel.

Now I'm afraid to come home.

Let's call for a truce.

So.

You're scared to come home.

That's why you stayed out last night.

What sort of stuff have you eaten?

Stirring up trouble again.

Are you fooling with me?

Oh, you think I'm fooling around.

But I'm not.

Insane.

Why don't you knock before you enter?

Knock?

After all you've nothing fantastic to show.

Wash up later.

Let me pee first.

Go ahead.

Why mind suddenly?

You don't mind?

Please don't flash this thing all over even though we're a couple.

Forget to keep it away after showering.

And this gutter is clogged up with your hair.

How many times must I remind you to clear it?

May I remind you to cover the toilet seat after using.

Satisfied?

It had to be my husband.

What?

I say the upper and lower floors have them.

Our neighbours too have husbands.

I don't understand why I had to fall madly in love with mine.

After a spate of living, I too want to know why I married you despite strong parental objection.

And what my family went through.

My sister is also my family.

Live with your sister then.

Maybe I should, at least I wont get bloody nose.

You're griping.

How painful could a woman hit?
