When I Was the Most Beautiful (When I Was the Prettiest / Naega Gajang Yebbeotseulddae / 내가 가장 예뻤을때)

Could you give me a hand?

Okay.

You don't even know what I'll make you do.

Whatever it is.

Mr. Seo told me to get some porcelain dirt,

and it's my first time buying that.

Could you come with me?

Sure. You can find it in Icheon.

There are many stores for that where they sell soil.

That's the kind of information I needed.

How did you think of using a lotus leaf as an umbrella?

What?

It rained on your first day at school.

I saw you walking with that lotus leaf.

Right.

It was sunny in Seoul.

It was raining in Yangpyeong when I got off the bus.

There were no convenience stores around...

but only lotus flowers.

You're really strange.

At first, I only picked it up because the leaf was big.

I even blow-dried my hair, but it got drenched.

I only offered my raincoat because you seemed kind.

I thought you fell head over heels for my beauty.

I mean, you offered your raincoat and got soaked instead.

Right. You're right.

Hey, wait up.

Do you really feel confident that you know everything about her?

No matter who I date, it's none of your business.

Even if she killed someone,

what's important is that I like her.

You don't become a criminal when you get caught...

and stay innocent just because you got away with it.

("A Police Officer's Murder, Planned by His Wife?")

Once you see this, you'll realize you need...

to handle this immediately.

Darn it! Let's just hire someone.

Either hire a cleaning lady or a bookkeeper.

Just go upstairs and study. I never asked for your help.

Why would you go through all this hassle...

if you can just hire someone?

What's the point?

I'll have to fire them once Ye Ji returns.

Are you out of your mind?

Gosh.

Excuse me.

The soil here has softer particles compared to the others.

That's not necessary.

You watched one too many movies.

I want to check if there's a correlation...

between touch and taste.

Only professionals can differentiate them.

A rookie like you wouldn't know.

Hey, this is how you learn.

My father doesn't buy soil.

Then why did he tell us to buy some?

At times, he mixes it in his base.

And he wanted you to buy soil for yourself, not him.

What kind of soil does he use?

He uses soil from all over the country.

At times, he gets them from the mountains.

He also gets some from the paddies...

and nearby brooks.

So that's why the particles were so rough.

He prefers materials that have stories.

I should go soil hunting as well.

"Hunting"?

I need to search for my soil.

Soil hunting.

What is this?

Let's just say that it's a token of gratitude...

for raising Ye Ji all this time.

That's hot!

You clumsy wench. Did you burn yourself?

- I'm okay. - You wench.

Are you two getting married or something?

I doubt your parents would approve.

We're both grown adults.

We don't need their approval.

All right. So you'll do it even if they disapprove.

I'm just saying that we're old enough to make our own decisions.

Then why did you come here?

I don't mind your disapproval,

but I do mind your interference.

We're both parents.

I couldn't bear to just stand still,

so I gave your mother some advice.

Here's your coffee.

Your husband is a famous carpenter.

You know my dad? My gosh.

Hey, don't interrupt us. You little...

He's a subcontractor of our company.

Really?

Wait. What is this?

Are you threatening me?

I could land your daughter a position at our company as well.

Forget it and just bring her back.

I don't know how you convinced her,

but we're the only ones who can put up with her.

She's someone who can't be accepted by anyone but her own family.

Ye Ji has moved out.

If you come to our company...

or torment her again,

I'll take legal action.

Do you think bribing and threatening me...

with legal matters...

will intimidate me and force me to obey you?

How dare someone who's still wet behind the ears...

use money to ridicule an elder?

You better stop this...

while I'm still offering you money.

If I become enraged,

I'll torment you with everything that I got.

I hope we never meet again.

I can't believe Ye Ji found a guy who's exactly like her.

He's amazing.

How much is it?

Mom!

That's my mom's car.

Let me change. Can you put this in the storage?

You should take a break today.

No, I should tend to the soil immediately.

Dinner's ready.

We're having braised tofu.

I've added a lot of anchovies and chili peppers.

It's an extremely tasty dish of ours.

You should eat first. I need to work today.

You should still eat.

I need to prepare the soil before it dries up.

Then should I bring some to your workshop?

That's okay. I'll have some later.

Thank you.

She won't get married anytime soon.

How could she choose work over eating?

I should bring this back to Seoul.

They want you to only use it when you're here.

How cute of them.

They want me to visit often.

That's the best way they can express their yearning for you.

You should pity them.

Enough with the pity talk.

Listen to me and kick that woman out of here.

Don't touch my students.

I gave it a lot of thought before bringing her in.

Do you think they can stop liking her...

when she's around them all the time?

Ms. Oh never expressed her feelings. She's just hardworking.

She either doesn't have a conscience or is just sly.

Does your disapproval even matter?

Our boys don't listen to you anyway.

This is too much. I'd rather her be an orphan.

Do you know what kind of family she has?

Ms. Oh.

Wait.

Did you do a background check or something?

You should watch what you say if you don't know anything.

Stay out of this. This is our business.

She's a good person.

You and your brother aren't in your right minds.

Shouldn't you be impressed by how resilient she was...

despite her family issues?

She's either a cunning scammer or a quick-witted woman.

Is that all you can see in a person?

- Hwan. - Is that the world you live in?

This is exactly why I should've raised our boys.

They lack reasoning since they've lived with you.

Don't you dare touch her.

If you do, I won't stand still.

This is too much. I'd rather her be an orphan.

Do you know what kind of family she has?

Your aunt...

seems to be very worried about you.

You do know what she told me, don't you?

I think...

I do, ma'am.

Then you must know why I don't approve...

of this relationship.

I've never even considered it.

We're not in a relationship,

and I don't have any feelings for him either.

Who are you trying to fool?

He wanted to take responsibility for making you leave home...

and got you a job here.

I chose to become a student here.

And you don't have to worry about anything...

because nothing's going to happen.

I trust you.

Make sure you take care of this.

What's Mom's problem?

It's not like they're in a relationship.

She believes there's something going on between them.

That's absurd. She has no interest in him.

She probably wants to get rid of all possibilities.

Ms. Oh.

Go study.

You do your job,

and I'll do mine.

That one seems darker than the one I bought.

Soil from this area has a lot of iron.

Many people think creating ceramics is a relaxing work of art,
