'Hello, Sidney, '

you're doing Scream?

Right? Right?

No?

Never mind then.

It can't be.

I'm only having this

for breakfast.

I made myself clear.

No proper meals until

I get acting classes.

Who are you?

That's how you wanna play?

Then who are you?

Why are you here?

Indeed...

Why am I...

here?

Mom.

Mom!

- Stay back!

- Mom!

Stay back!

$10.

- $10?

- Hurry, I'm late!

Come on!

Now! Now!

I'm off!

I'm late, give me breakfast!

Come on! Let's eat!

- Dad!

- Son, sleep well?

Let's eat.

What're you doing?

Let's eat.

Breakfast?

Huh? Didn't cook?

Excuse me?

Do I really look like your wife?

Which ghost movie is that from?

Would I confuse my wife

with a random woman?

I'm late, I have to go.

You eat that.

I'll grab something on the way.

Fix him something.

I'm off!

And the kids won't get

enough energy from these.

Cook him some rice.

I'm off!

Make him rice!

Mom!

Dad ate everything!

Cook me something!

Who are you all,

and why nag me for food?!

Why wasn't I warned about this?!

Wife of a stranger,

and a mother of two?!

Mom!

This is yours.

Mine?

Born 1981?

So, I'm 34?

Let's go,

I'm late for pre-school!

Hold on, wait!

Good morning!

Hi there!

Good morning, Mrs. KIM.

Thank you for

ginseng the other day.

I did what?

Pardon?

Haneul's mom!

Is your name Haneul?

That's my sister, I'm Haru.

Still can't remember her name?

So, that shrew is Haneul.

My elevator ads were

torn down recently,

was it your kids?

Someone saw yesterday.

Those cost money!

You can't rip them up!

Excuse me,

are we close?

What?

Your tone suggests that

we're close.

You're odd today.

Shall we settle this

for good today?

I'm gonna miss the bus!

Don't push, hold on!

Who the heck's that fat ass?

Did she get up

on the wrong side of bed?

- I'm gonna miss it!

- Okay, take it easy!

Haru, Haru!

Did you sleep in this morning?

Yeon-woo, Yeon-woo.

Radish kimchi just arrived,

wanna try it?

Don't, I got some last night,

it's inedible.

- What did you say?

- It's delicious!

Thanks!

Here's the bus, look!

- Morning!

- Hello!

- Take care of Mina!

- Good bye!

Have a good day!

Where you off to?

Got an urgent matter...

No way!

We're supposed to pick up

stuff for our side job.

- Let's go!

- Go! Go!

- Take care!

- Thank you!

We'll fold 'em in no time,

so save more for us!

If you can meet the deadline,

there's always more.

Good, thank you!

- Thank you!

- Good bye!

He speaks Korean well

for a filipino.

- And cute too.

- Look here.

Thanks to me,

we get 35 cents per.

Fat chance, had it been others.

Right, right.

10,000 there,

which comes to $350.

A month of food expense.

Thank you so much!

Wait, excuse me.

But why must I fold these?

Eh? Eh?

You were the one begged for

a side job hook up.

Idiot! What an idiot!

- I did?

- You did.

If you'll excuse me,

I got urgent matter...

Why're you so desperate

to leave us?

Can't let you leave.

With a paycheck lined up,

let's grab a hard drink!

- Let's go!

- But it's too early for liquor...

- It's really good!

- Only 3 days expired.

Just 3 days?!

We're not gonna die.

- It's okay.

- Chew when you eat!

It's fine.

I should be on a diet!

You got a big one!

What happened on

The Eldest Princess?

Yeah, I didn't get to see it.

- The Eldest Princess?

- Yeah, tell us.

Who's that?

Don't kid! You're

the goddess of soap opera.

I don't like soap operas.

Only those who got

nothing to do watch them.

Is she acting?

- Give her an award!

- So good!

What's wrong?

Getting hitched at 18,

your only joy in life is

watching TV and movies

and acting it out.

Hitched at 18? Me?

Your panties slid off early.

I'm 39 now, no, I'm 34, so...

so at what age did I give birth?!

It's your kid,

how should I know?

She's weird today!

Washroom...

- There! There!

- Yeon-woo!

What's with her?

Could she be pregnant again?

So they did it recently?

Are you feeling better?

What is it?

Are you trying to look fake?

I'm not just trying to,

I am one, a real fake!

Don't you want your life back?

If you keep this up,

you'll only create confusion.

But I suddenly became a wife,

and a mother of 2!

Have you seen those women?

I don't fit in,

they're so tacky and loud!

Ms. LEE!

If you continue,

I must send you back up.

Remember, without hardship,

there is no life.

But this isn't my life!

It is now.

For a month.

FREEZER:
2 BAGS OF PAPRIKA...

MOM'S SPECIAL ORDER!

DON'T DRINK OUT OF BOTTLE!

Is this a garden?

What's this?

Am I a zebra?

Nothing to wear...

So she got married to

this man at 18,

birthed 2 kids,

and gave up all rights

as a woman,

and lived in this dump.

Right?

Okay, I understand.

At least I'm 5 years younger.

But I can't go on like this.

Got my own way of doing things.

$497.50

Can you deliver?

The address is...

Exceeded credit limit.

What?

What's with her?

Ma'am, can you hurry up?!

Hello?

Woman, the school bus' arriving.

Tada!

I got strawberry milk!

You idiot!

You're really weird today,

get your act together!

I'm sorry.

Good thing I was there for Haru.

I bought him a strawberry milk.

Ji-woo, let's go.

Always share.

Don't look at me like that,

I'm dying inside too.

I see you often today.

Indeed.

Aren't you buying

salted anchovies?

It's really good,

my mother made it herself.

I hate anchovies.

I think not,

probably can't afford it.

Say what?

Look here!

'Brada'?

Not 'Prada'?

Who wears knockoffs nowadays?

Haneul, don't be mad.

- I won't mention your poop again.

- You're doing it again!

I really won't,

I swear as a man!

I will never talk about

Haneul's poop episode, ever!

Seriously!

So annoying!

Wait, wait.

Do you smell that too?

If you're all here, please sit.

What's with the tone?

Since the morning.

You there, sit down.

You too, mister.

'Mister'? Wait...

What movie is this?

From her expression,

some cyborg movie.

Did this cow work out?

It's so muscular!

Sweetie, chew it properly.

Got any steamed rice?

Eat the potato please.

What's with extra courtesy?

Didn't cook rice again?

I didn't.

This meat is too tough.

Put it in the fridge,

I'll eat it later if I get hungry.

Wait.

Sit down, I got an announcement.

Since I've done

so much for you all,

I need a vacation.

So I'll be taking one

for a month.

Vacation? Where?

Maybe my parents home,

destination is of no importance.

So random! Dad and I can

take care of ourselves,

what about the brat?

Gotta take him to pre-school,

and feed him too.

I could drop him off

in the morning.

And meals?

I gotta feed him?!

Am I a teenage mother?!

If it's too much,

we can hire a maid.

And where do we get that money?

We can't even afford

my acting class,

but hire a maid

for your vacation?

- So annoying.

- Haneul, sit.

Haneul, sit!

Sweetie!

And why're you acting

so strange lately?

Your parents passed away,

their home don't exist.

They did?

Is that so?

Never mind.

You must be tired,

let's get ready for bed.
