The first 200 lines.
"We lost her."
"Gray Witch escaped without her staff."
- "How..." - My gosh, I'm hungry again.
Kids, do you want some snacks?
I'm okay. What about you?
Really? Okay. I should just have some fruit, then.
By the way, what are you reading?
Oh, the publishing firm where Aunties work...
- is putting on a stage play. - I see.
We're reading the script for it.
This was originally a children's book,
but they turned it into a script. It's fun.
What? Why is a publishing firm putting on a stage play?
It'll happen at a children's library so everyone can watch it for free.
That way, they can promote the book...
while also having a fun event for kids.
I see.
They're looking for actors now.
Auntie Geu Roo said I should try it, so I'm practicing the lines now.
I see, so it's like an audition!
My gosh, you should've told me.
I'm an expert when it comes to auditions.
I mean, I'm an actress, you know.
But...
are there only children characters in this story?
No adults?
- There's a witch. - I see.
Do you want to audition for the role?
Gosh, no. This is just a children's play.
Sol, did you want to become an actress?
No, I'm just giving it a shot...
because Auntie Geu Roo said anyone could apply.
If I get the role, that will be awesome.
But it'll be fun even if I don't get it.
Gosh, you can't ace your audition with that kind of mindset.
"I will get this role no matter what!"
That's the spirit you need.
This isn't good. Let me coach you.
- Let's hear your lines. - It's okay.
We're just playing.
Come on. Let me see.
Here, this part.
- Then just a couple of lines. - Okay.
"Our precious Rainbow Village has turned to ashes."
"Gray Witch, I will make you pay for this!"
Gosh, stop.
- Why? - Well, that was good.
I skimmed through the beginning just now.
Isn't this character a nice girl?
Yes, the female lead is a child witch who's nice.
I see. But your eyes looked a little too scary.
And your voice was quite loud.
Why don't you try relaxing a little?
My goodness.
What did I just say?
Everyone always criticized my acting saying I was going overboard.
Look at me telling someone else to relax.
- Sorry? - What?
I'm just realizing that when you see someone going overboard,
you can't help but think that it is too much.
Did I do a terrible job?
Was that weird?
A little.
Well, let's see.
She is angry here,
but Gray Witch totally messed up the Rainbow Village...
I mean,
the village is ruined, so this girl is sad.
I think you need to express that sadness.
I'll show you. Watch.
"You ruined our precious Rainbow Village."
"Gray Witch, I will make you pay for this!"
What do you think?
I see. I think I understand what you're saying.
- Really? - That wasn't weird at all.
Finally! Someone's recognizing my talent.
Putting up with the criticisms is finally paying off.
Sol, try it again. Let's keep practicing.
- "Our precious..." - Yes.
What's this?
- Flower tea? - Yes.
Min Ah wanted to give it to you.
I told her you like everything that's delicious.
You like coffee, tea, and...
I didn't tell her you like to drink.
I hope you're not drinking these days.
Goodness, I'm not a drunkard.
I quit drinking.
If you drink again, I'll actually get mad at you.
You're my child. It's not the other way around.
Don't be ridiculous.
Wasn't this expensive though?
You guys can't afford this.
Did you use Grandma's credit card?
Gosh, no. Min Ah sent a story to a radio show and got it as a prize.
I go to the bathroom so often these days.
The baby must be kicking my bladder or something.
It's such a hassle.
Yes, it'll keep happening until the very last month.
I know it's not easy.
By the way, Heon just told me...
that you got this as a prize.
Do young people these days listen to the radio?
Did you always listen to the radio?
No, I only started listening because Ga Eun recommended it.
It's fun, and it's nice to win prizes.
So I keep sending my stories to radio shows.
If I win another prize, I'll give you that too.
It's okay. You guys can use it.
What kind of story did you send to the show?
Oh, it was...
I'll send you the link later.
Take a listen. It's about you.
It's about me?
Did you bad-mouth me or something?
No!
All right. You are still a little immature,
but I'm sure you didn't bad-mouth your mother-in-law on a radio show.
Anyway, let's buy you some maternity clothes...
and get things that the baby will need.
There's a mall across the street.
No, it's okay. I have everything I need.
I mean, I'll have everything soon.
I've been checking...
the secondhand stores in my area and mom groups' websites.
I'll compare prices and buy what I need, one by one.
Why would you buy secondhand? I'll buy you everything you need.
It's okay.
Other moms in the mom groups said expensive baby stuff...
ends up going to waste soon because babies grow so fast.
It's good to be frugal, but this is your first baby.
And it'll most likely be your only child.
I mean, hardly anyone has more than one kid these days.
Which means, this baby will be my only grandkid.
I want my grandkid to only wear and use nice things.
Let me do this for you. We'll get going soon.
I'm also doing this for the environment.
- What? - She's an environmentalist.
Do you know how long it takes for plastic to decompose...
in the soil and the ocean?
Planet Earth is sick.
Why are you even worried about that?
You must have a lot of time on your hands these days.
Yes.
So I've been reading a lot.
I was never really interested in the issue,
but our baby will be born soon.
Let's say our baby lives a hundred years.
Will this planet be a safe place to live until my baby dies?
We're already experiencing abnormal weather,
and glaciers are melting.
So I suddenly got scared.
Rather than buying new things and producing more waste,
I'd like to buy everything secondhand and reuse them.
Let us do that. Please?
Isn't Min Ah so thoughtful?
Our baby must be so proud to have a mom like Min Ah.
Right, Mom?
Yes, good for you.
Mother, you should try the tea.
It's evening primrose tea. I looked it up and read that...
it smells nice, and it helps you prevent a cold.
Heon told me that you get colds frequently...
because you have a weak immune system.
You're worried about me when you're pregnant?
Anyway, all right. Thanks.
Are you going somewhere?
Where are you going?
Do you think I'd have nowhere to go on weekends?
Goodness.
Then can you take a look at this before you head out?
It's my business plan.
If you see this, you'll change your mind.
I won't be persuaded, so don't waste your time.
Honey, please.
I have nothing to look forward to in life.
I should go out and have some fun.
You'll keep on pestering me like this if I stay home.
Dad.
Are you busy now?
What's up? Take a seat.
What is this?
I drafted up a business plan...
based on the advice I got from my friend whose restaurant...
now has three locations.
Trust me this time. I'm really ready to do this.
I've seen so many people...
taking over stores...
that went out of business only to go through the same thing.
No, just read it. I wrote down what the menu will be like...
and the aggressive marketing strategies I plan to use.
Are you not going to renovate the space?
It'd be nice to do it,
but I want to keep the start-up cost to a minimum.
I'll do it when the business becomes profitable.
You need to completely revamp the space...
to let the customers know...
it's a new place and entice them to come in.
I'll take care of it.
What? You'll take care of it?
