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

Grandma, please try this.

This too.

I’ll eat it myself.

Because you’re not eating.

Did you make it yourself?

Yes.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Eat.

I won’t like a skinny daughter-in-law.

Yes.

What do you mean?

Not marketing but sales?

Yes.

Jerks.

How could they lie to him?

No wonder it was going too fast.

They gave him the job the day he did an interview.

Sales is okay if he likes that.

But Kihoon’s shy. He’s sensitive too.

Yes, sales do involve dealing with a lot of people.

I was so relieved when he got a job.

Unemployment of young people is a big problem.

Yes.

Every other house in this neighborhood has a kid preparing to get a job.

When we thought sending them to college was our last duty.

Didn’t we say back in 80’s that we won’t have to worry about them getting a job?

Because our generation didn’t have many children.

Why is it so hard?

Even the big companies don’t hire many new employees.

I hope he doesn’t become depressed.

He’s our son.

He’ll do fine.

Shouldn’t they tell you why you didn’t pass?

Why do they fail you when you had a great education from a great college?

They should let you know what their standard is.

What is government doing?

I realize the eldest son has to prosper to lessen parents’ worries.

Kihoon’s the one who’s most struggling. Don’t show it.

I know.

Not only the unemployment for young folks.

I need to get a decent job too.

We’re here.

They came.

Look delicious.

Just chicken though?

Is it too weak?

Sorry.

Don’t complain over free food.

Think about it. Today’s a special day.

Well, you have nothing to worry about now.

Eunji will marry into a good family and Kihoon got a good job.

Sure.

I envy you.

I told Kihoon to quit.

Why?

The job doesn’t match his major and the company too.

Then he should look for a better one while working.

You should’ve just stayed for your parents’ sake.

It’s too late.

Why isn’t Father coming out?

Here I go in if you don’t come out.

Father!

Here I go in if you don’t come out.

Father.

Come and have a drink.

No thanks.

Why would I drink with strangers?

Strangers?

Only son I have is you, Dalsoo.

I’m going to erase Dalgoo and Dalja from my family register.

What do you mean?

Don’ t you know?

How could the children regard his father as some dirt?

Impossible.

Yeah they did.

They kept pestering me about when I’ll go back and they fought to get rid of me.

How can they call themselves my children?

You’re too much, Father.

Why do you blame me? Dalgoo is the one that harassed you.

How could you say that?

We never harassed him.

Am I wrong?

You told me to take him when he only stayed with you for a few days.

We just wanted him to go back home and solve Eunji problem.

If it weren’t for us, Father won’t be here and we wouldn’t even be drinking now.

Yes, it turned out well. So forget everything.

No, we can’t. It doesn’t make sense.

Your excuse is absurd.

What’s so absurd about it?

Should I spell it out? One by one?

Stop.

Yes, we’re having a party here.

But Dalja keeps picking a fight.

When did I?

Be quiet!

You all are despicable.

How dare you fight in front of me?

Yes, it’s a happy day.

What’s the matter with you all?

This is your fault, Father. You held grudge toward us.

What?

It’s true. This all happened because of you.

You blocked Eunji’s future twice already.

You’re so…

Dalja.

Stop.

Father solved the problem this time.

We’re so thankful to him. Please don’t say that.

Because he keeps talking about the past.

Father, please don’t be upset.

They came to see you because they felt so bad.

They even ordered your favorite fried chickens.

Go and have a cold beer.

I’ll forgive you for Miran’s sake.

Look at him. He only listens to her.

He’s appreciative of her.

Yeah, he realized after living with second daughter-in-law.

Dalja!

What’s wrong with her? Is she really my sister?

Yes.

She told me she’s dating Kihoon again and told me not to butt in.

How could she just tell it to me like that?

I can’t believe she’s my daughter.

I called you because I couldn’t shake off this frustration.

Yoonhee’s listening to me. I’ll hang up.

Make sure to sleep with a blanket.

Did you have to do that to Chief?

I had to relieve my frustration. So what?

Why don’t you go on a blind date, Mom?

Blind date?

You always told me to date a guy.

You should do that actually.

I’m not you. What the heck are you talking about?

It’d do you good to have a boyfriend seeing you talking to Chief.

You got along with Daddy too.

What the…

You’re obsessed over me because you’re alone.

It’ll be less when you get a boyfriend.

Are you kidding me?

I’ll pick about 10 guys for you.

Take a look and why don’t you choose one later?

You can even get remarried.

You’re such a…. Are you nuts?

I’m just copying you.

She’s making a clown out of me.

That little…

You went through a lot.

More so for you.

Everything’s back to normal now. Don’t worry.

Okay.

What’s wrong?

I think I ate too much.

I thought you did.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I know how you feel.

I’ll be good to Grandmother.

And I’ll be good to everyone you know.

They say a married couple has had relationships in 300 previous lives.

Let’s not change and do our best to each other.

Yes.

Good night.

Did you meet Grandmother?

Yes.

We had dinner together.

Good. What did she say?

She’s upset, right?

She told me to make efforts together.

I could understand how she must feel.

I’m sure she’s really upset even though she doesn’t show it.

I’ll go see her tomorrow.

For wedding preparation?

Don’t worry.

She gave in for you so I’ll obey her too.

You went through so much for us.

Not all all.

Jisuk trusted me. That’s why it turned out well.

Grandpa helped too.

I’m sorry, Mom.

Don’t say that.

As you live with Grandmother, I’m sure you’ll have bad times too.

But remember…that she’s the family member of the man you love.

You’re wise so I’m sure you’ll do well.

Okay.

I only wished to get your marriage approved but now the wedding prep.

Father’s unbelievable.

Yes. He’s upset over nothing.

Yup. And it lasts a long time too.

I’ m more upset at Dalja.

Why?

She kept saying Father now appreciates Miran more because of me.

It’s the way she talks. Try to understand.

But still.

It was so hard preparing three square meals every day.

I know how hard it was for you.

She should try living with him too. She couldn’t even do one day.

Not even a half day.

I bet Father’s anger will probably last five million years.

I know. He’ll nitpick at everything now.
