THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LOVE

- Hey. - Mom!

Oh, my.

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

Oh, gosh! What do I do?

I'm so sorry!

No, it's fine.

Nice to meet you. Hello.

Huh?

Could we get some more water?

- Sure. - And a beer.

Hey! You always eat at my restaurant.

Ma'am!

THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LOVE EPISODE 7

You should've called before coming. What about the restaurant?

I thought I should give you these side dishes while they were fresh.

I'll just put these away and get going.

No, you just came here. Stay for a bit.

Let me drive you home. I'll be right back.

Here. Have a seat.

I'm so sorry for interrupting your date.

Not at all.

What's your name?

I'm Lee Ui-yeong.

- Ui-yeong? - Yeah.

I've known you for so long, but never your name!

You always come with your boyfriend, no, friend.

You work at a hotel, and you love soju.

You can drink two... No, one bottle of soju.

Right.

She remembers everything!

I pick things up by eavesdropping on the tables

to see if anyone needs anything.

You mentioned recently that you were going on a blind date.

Is that where you met Tae-seop?

Yeah, I did.

What a coincidence!

How long have you been dating?

Well, we...

We're not official yet.

It's also my first time here. He needed to get his glasses.

I see.

It's okay, you guys aren't kids.

I'm all for this.

You two don't have time to waste.

You should really get to know him, you know, in every way.

Sorry?

Are you ready to go?

I'll drop off Ui-yeong, then you.

You two can sit in the front.

No, you can sit in the front!

- No, I prefer the back. - What?

You can get in the front!

It's fine. Just sit in the front.

You two look great together.

It's not safe to sit like that, Mom.

Did I mention you two look great together?

Oh, yeah.

You've been saying that the whole ride.

My gosh!

What a cute couple.

Thanks. Goodnight.

- Get home safely. - Okay.

- Wait. - Get home safely.

I'll sit in the front.

- I'm going to sit in the front. - Okay.

I'm not saying this because Tae-seop is my son.

He's a good guy. Please give him a chance.

Okay.

And come to the restaurant anytime if you have questions about our family.

I'll tell you everything. I won't hold anything back!

- Thank you. - Mom.

Get in.

Goodnight.

Bye!

Dating is different now.

In our 20s, it was just about us two being in love.

But now, I can't just think about how I feel.

This might be my last relationship before I get married.

We have to consider each other's families and finances.

Oh, gosh!

You scared me.

Hey, Mom.

Why are you so startled?

I thought I'd walked into the wrong house.

I was just thinking about something.

You getting back from a workout?

Yeah, I took a walk.

And you?

Me? You know...

Mom.

Out of curiosity, let me ask you something.

What kind of man would you want me to date?

Am I the one dating him?

Don't even bother if you can't be sure without my approval.

Get out of my way.

Why did I even bother asking you?

You never make anything easy for me.

You're like a wicked stepmother.

I call dibs on the shower!

Yeah, it's my life and my love.

I'll choose who I want and deal with the consequences.

Gosh.

Hmm?

I just got home.

My mom made things awkward, didn't she?

Don't let her get to you too much.

No, I had fun today.

Tell your mom it was really nice to meet her.

I can never show my face at her restaurant again.

There goes one good restaurant.

Wait.

That's not what I should be worried about. That's not the point!

Honey, two orders of chicken feet.

- One is extra spicy. - Okay, honey.

No, I can't do that! No way.

I can only eat them.

What do I do?

Hey...

Did you eat something spicy?

Come on. It's lipstick!

Why are you wearing lipstick?

The weather's nice.

The weather's warm, flowers are blooming

and so is love.

Who knows? An important guest might come.

An important guest? Who?

You remember

that regular who always closes the door so gently?

Oh, the one you like because she's so gentle with the door?

Whose boyfriend always eats chicken breast?

Are you waiting for her?

No, they aren't dating.

That's all I can say for now.

So, just...

Forget it.

You look perfect already.

To make the chicken feet easier to eat...

Hey, it's a show about your favorite food.

My goodness.

They go through three more boxes of those per day.

Man, every job is tough.

My gosh.

Oh...

Let's watch something else.

- I was watching that show! - Son Jeong-a's scandals

involving cheating and sexual bribes is the talk of the town.

But Son's agency

hasn't made a public announcement

to admit to or deny the allegations.

- This scandal spread... - Look at her face.

In just a few days...

Why would she do that with a face like that?

Right?

The married movie director...

- You can keep watching it. - What?

Rumor has it she's dating them.

You're leaving?

Yeah, my head hurts. I need to get some exercise.

Sure, then.

- Someone in the industry... - What's with her?

How is he still sleeping?

Are you the Sleeping Beauty?

The Sleeping Prince?

He's definitely more of a butler than a prince.

Oh?

Hello, Deukgeun Deukgeun Gym.

Or a laborer.

You sound like you just woke up. Are you home?

Yeah, I am.

Why? I'm all ready to go to the gym right now.

The gym's closed until the AC is fixed.

Why don't you ever check the announcement texts?

Man, I was hoping a workout would help my headache.

Go out and take a walk.

Engage your core and walk heel-to-toe.

Walk 8,000 steps and send a photo

- for proof. - He's working in his sleep!

Fine, then. Rest up.

Okay.

Alright, let's go on a walk.

The heavier your legs get, the lighter your heart gets.

Huh?

Hey!

Aren't you going to wake up? You haven't had a day off in forever!

Don't you want to do anything?

Go to the bank and the post office?

Hmm?

But it's the weekend.

So, the laundromat?

Not what you have to do!

What do you want to do?

How can you live only doing things you have to do?

Something cute and sweet we can do together.

Got anything?

Oh, that?

Of course!

I want to travel somewhere warm.

- Huh? - But we can't teleport.

We can't go.
