All right.

I will now introduce my family, which is full of harmony and love.

First, I will introduce someone who is attempting

a persevering punk.

The eldest son of our family, Kim Jung Bong!

It seems that he went to a study room.

[Hyper Olympics 50 won for one game]

Next up is my son, who looks just like me from head to toe...

I introduce to you our second son, Kim Jung Hwan!

Jung Hwan.

Say something for the camera.

Geez... quit doing stuff like this, already.

Today's the first time I've done this, though...

The only one who I can trust is my wife.

The cornerstone of our home and my cheetah

and my jaguar! Honey, say something!

Ow!

You brought this from your show again, didn't you?

How much is this worth?

980,000 won.

Why? You're such a miser.

Is that any way to talk to your husband?

Here... a word to your miser husband?

Geez! I can't even break this...

It's not that you won't hit me... it's that you can't!

Shut it, already!

Geez!

Excuse, excuse me!

Please, excuse me!

Looking, looking very closely...

is this your home?

Yes, yes, yes it is! How did you know?

Don't reciprocate his stupidity, Duk Seon. It'll become a habit.

I think it's funny, though.

Mom wanted me to bring this to you. My grandma brought it.

Wow... tell her that we'll enjoy it.

Duk Seon, you must be happy.

You really love your grandma.

Yes.

But she's leaving tomorrow.

Hey!

Why are you using your hands? So disgusting...

What's it matter to you?

Ah, this scent... you have such a nice scent coming from you.

Geez... don't old farts like me just smell like old farts?

No.

You smell nice.

Dad smells like this, too.

Your belly is so flat, so how did Dad, my uncle

and my chubby aunts come out of here?

After giving birth to four chubby kids

my belly ended up shrinking.

Look at the stupid questions she asks, even though she's a high schooler.

Granny. Do you know what Sung Duk Seon's nickname is?

Don't you dare.

It's "IWESS."

It stands for "Idiots Who Especially Suck at Studying."

As if you're good at studying... all you do is go to protests!

Did you just call me "you?"

You little...

Hey! I'm warning you!

Argue one more time, and I'll beat you and kick you both out!

I'll beat you to a pulp!

Mother. You're not uncomfortable in any way, right?

Then, good night.

Okay, okay.

- Go to sleep. - Yes, Mother.

I'll kill you both...

Sung Duk Seon... consider yourself saved by Granny.

Granny.

What?

What was Uncle like? Did he study better than Dad?

No. Your father was a whole lot smarter than him when it came to school.

And he graduated from that prestigious school in Gwangju.

Your uncle...

took it upon himself since he was young to earn money for his younger siblings.

But even so, Uncle is the richest among us.

He even lives in the U.S.

You think that running a laundromat in the States is prestigious?

He's barely managing to put food on the table nowadays.

Geez. When I think about your uncle...

my heart just hurts.

Then, who's a better son to you?

Dad calls you every morning.

Why are you asking that?

Both of them are good sons.

Your dad and your uncle never fought.

Why can't you two be like that? Geez.

That's because Bo Ra always picks fights with me first.

Hey!

- Not again... - What?

You little...

Come on.

[Episode 2: One Thing You Misunderstood About Me]

- Mother, be careful. - Okay.

At any rate, why are you in such a rush to leave?

Since you're here, you might as well spend another night here.

Geez... I have to go home and dry flowers and a lot of other things.

Granny, I'll come visit during winter vacation.

Okay, my child.

But... where's Bo Ra?

Where'd she go?

She left early to go to the library. College students study so much nowadays.

Library, my ass. She probably went to protest.

Oh dear... hey.

You're throwing this away?

Huh?

Yes. It's not usable anymore, Mother.

What are you saying? It looks fine!

Give it here.

Yes, Mother...

Okay. Wow!

I'm going to take this home and use it.

Geez... you already have so much stuff to carry back!

Why are you taking that, too?

When I come visit you, I'll buy you a better one than this!

it's not like you make that much, so don't be wasting money on me!

I can just use this one.

Hey, you'll be late to work. Go. Quickly!

Geez.

- Good bye! - Have a safe trip!

I told you, I've got it!

- No! - Stop it! Sheesh!

- Give me that! - No, I'm holding it!

- That's mine! - Stop that!

Stop worrying about me and go!

Give me that!

No! You give me back my stuff!

- Geez! - Quit it!

Go, already. Go.

So stubborn.

I'm off!

Okay, see you later.

If you wear that and get caught by your sister, you're dead!

Bo Ra goes drinking every Saturday. I'll be home before her.

Hey, Kim Jung Hwan! How do I look?

I'm late. Piss off.

Hey, there's only three minutes left.

This is new. How does it look?

Isn't that your sister's?

Hey, only two minutes left! Let's hurry!

Hello!

Hello, Mister!

Hey! When did you get back?

Yesterday.

Are you going to school?

Yeah.

Drink a lot of milk and grow big soon, my little Taek!

You have to hurry and grow up so you can marry me.

- Ow! - Hey, there's only one minute left!

You want to die?

You want to die? Hey!

Be on time for a change.

Aren't you tired of getting punished for being late every morning?

It doesn't matter. My head is full of rocks, anyway.

Hey, Wang Ja Hyun. So... what'd you get?

Only 45 percent.

I don't think our love will work out.

Look.

You idiot... you did it wrong!

What?

You wrote your name first. That means you only like him 45 percent.

Really?

Let me try it again.

I'll write his name first.

70 percent!

70 percent?

70 percent? Byun likes you 70 percent?

As if.

I'm going to try it, too. Me too.

What is this?

They're not Korean noodles...

It's called spaghetti.

You've never had it, right?

It's the first time I've seen it.

You should have just made normal noodles.

I have money, so might as well spend it.

I'm going to eat what rich people eat before I die.

What are you doing?

Are you boiling Korean noodles?

Are these chewy noodles?

I said it's spaghetti!

Okay.

Stop glaring like that. You look so scary.

At any rate, why are we celebrating Taek's victory at our place?

It's just the two of them, so it's not like they'll cook anything.

I told them to just buy chicken.

- Taek is coming, too. - Oh, really?

I guess I'll see Mr. Choi for the first time in a while, huh?

Wouldn't it be great if I had a daughter and got him as a son-in-law?

I claimed Taek first.

He's going to be my son-in-law.

But, Bo Ra isn't coming today? Everyone else is.

She does something at school every Saturday and comes home late.

She won't be home after 12:00 a.m. today, either.

Mom! Where are you?

Bo Ra?
