A Good Supper (Be A Meal / Babi Dweeora / 밥이 되어라)

It feels weird to see you make kimchi.

I can't feed my son-in-law bread every morning.

Since I have to feed you rice, I'm making kimchi.

Even if it tastes bad, you have no choice.

- You have to eat it anyway. - Okay, Mother.

Let me give it a try.

It's better than I thought.

I want to have other people try it too.

Da Jung, give some to Mang Soon.

I'm tired, so I want to sleep.

It's getting harder and harder.

I'll go. We can't send Da Jung since it's hot outside.

I'll go back to studying afterward.

She must be out working, so put it in the fridge.

How hot it is.

Young man, do you live in this neighborhood?

Why isn't she home?

Do you know where she is?

Does Oh Bok's grandmother still live here?

I'm Oh Bok.

Are you Oh Bok?

You've grown into a young man.

Do you recognize your mother?

Why wouldn't I?

I wouldn't have recognized you on the street.

You still recognize me, though, my son.

How is Mang Soon doing?

Where's Dad?

It's been a while since we lost touch.

Hasn't he visited you at all?

You're not living with him, then?

If we'd been living together, I would've come to see you sooner.

This house hasn't changed at all, including the main gate.

You said you'd come for me with a lot of money.

I guess you must've made some money.

Where is your grandmother?

It's so hot.

This summer is going to be sizzling hot. I'm already scared.

Pil Sun, go back home. You're pregnant, so don't tire yourself.

Lie down with a fan on at home.

I'm okay.

We can make a little more money if I stay to sell.

Leave that to me and go home to rest.

Right, Pil Sun. You shouldn't get heatstroke.

What are you doing outside when you should be studying?

Grandma, I have something to tell you.

Don't be surprised.

Is it something that might make me faint?

I guess it's not about Da Jung's second pregnancy.

What is it?

Mom is here.

What do you mean?

My mom came here.

What?

Really?

Mi Ja came to see you? Where is she now?

She's at home.

Don't be surprised by how she dressed.

Why? Is her outfit weird?

She looks like a scalper.

A scalper?

What do you mean by that?

You know those people who sell illegal baseball tickets.

They would look around and approach you quietly...

and try to sell the tickets.

What has she been doing in her life?

She covered her whole face with some cheap makeup.

Her sweat and her makeup got mixed, and the smell gave me a headache.

You can't talk that way about your mother.

Did she come with your father?

They seem to have gotten a divorce.

What?

Then where is he, and what is he doing?

How would I know?

It's hot today anyway. Let's call it a day and go home.

I was so thirsty,

but I found a beer in the fridge.

Do you want to join me?

No. I'm good.

You're a tenant, right?

Yes. I live in this room.

I should go now.

Mother, how have you been?

Why are you here without your husband?

- Yong Goo, it's me! - Mi Ja.

You haven't changed. It's good to see you.

Nice to meet you. I'm his wife.

Did you get married, Yong Goo?

Goodness. I had no idea.

Every Jack has his Jill. You finally got married.

It's my pleasure to meet you. I'm glad you're here.

You're my sister-in-law, then.

Yes.

Let's sit down.

Pil Sun, I need a cup of water.

- Why do I feel so frustrated? - Okay.

Here you go.

You do seem like a modest lady.

Did you get a divorce, then?

We didn't even think about getting a divorce.

We just happened to separate.

What are you talking about?

So did you get a divorce or not?

I couldn't stand him anymore, so I ran away from home.

We were not going to get remarried anyway,

so we didn't bother getting a divorce.

Still, how could you leave your kid here and cut us off?

I was living abroad for some time.

How did you manage to live abroad?

I stayed in the Philippines and Thailand.

I've been traveling around without making any trouble.

One year and two years had passed...

before I knew it.

Then it all seemed abrupt to look for my husband...

or come see you out of the blue.

What have you been doing for a living?

Why would you ask that?

As you can see, I didn't starve.

What do you do, Oh Bok?

- Do you have a job? - No, I don't.

I dropped out of high school and didn't get into college.

I see.

That's how things were.

He got married, and he's now a soon-to-be dad.

He'll be a father when he doesn't even have a job?

You got someone pregnant first.

Yes. How did you know?

Well,

you can't turn out better in that upbringing.

Oh Bok is doing well, so don't worry, Mi Ja.

He dropped out of high school, has no job,

and has a baby coming. Obviously, he's not doing well.

It's not like that.

Why are you still here even though you're a tenant?

I'm sorry.

Stay. You're like my family.

Hello. I'm Park Gyung Chul.

Does your whole family live in this room?

Well, I live alone.

Are you not married?

You got a divorce.

Yes.

I'm Gong Mi Ja.

It's nice to meet you.

You don't have to be that polite.

I rather impose here a lot.

Really? Is your mother here?

It left me speechless.

We should introduce her to my parents!

Be quiet. I'm so embarrassed.

Why are you embarrassed about your mother?

I'm worried about what Se Jin would say...

when she meets my mom.

Where was Oh Bok the whole afternoon after dropping off the kimchi?

He always finds a way to put off studying.

Mom, I have something to tell you. This might come off as a shock.

It wouldn't be more shocking than you getting pregnant. What is it?

Oh Bok's mother came.

Oh Bok doesn't have a mother.

Really?

Is your mother here?

- Yes. - Why do you have a long face?

It feels strange.

You'd be disappointed when you meet her.

How can you talk about your mother that way?

She got blond hair.

She doesn't seem normal at all.

Really?

His in-law is in the same neighborhood, and he's living with them.

That's not a problem.

Many guys live with their in-laws these days.

Hello, Mrs. Gong.

I heard you came into town.

I couldn't just stay at home, so I came to see you unannounced.

Mrs. Gong?

Right.

You must be Oh Bok's mother-in-law.

I thought for a moment if we should set a date to say hello to each other.

But I came to say hello because it feels like the right thing.

I'm sorry it took me so long to meet you.

Are you Oh Bok's wife?

Oh, my. You look so normal.

Why would someone so normal marry an unemployed guy?

Anyway, it's nice to have in-laws. Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

We should set up a date for you to meet her too.

Let's do that.

She looked just like a spy from Hong Kong.

A spy from Hong Kong?

Do spies come from Hong Kong nowadays?

Do you know those colored sunglasses? Koreans used to wear them years ago.

Isn't that a sophisticated look?

I'm not sure if it's sophisticated.

I have a headache.

Still, it's good for Oh Bok, anyway.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing.

My head hurts.

Why do you keep saying your head hurts?

You should see her sometime.

She's the kind of person that gives you a headache for some reason.
