Nice.
We made an Italian dish today.
Squid is known to prevent adult diseases.
Good for your system.
And it's very easy to make.
Fresh squid! They're almost alive!
They're running out fast.
Only $10 for 6!
Here you go!
Wait!
Ladies, listen to me.
It's memorial day for my dead wife.
She loved squid so much when she was alive.
Please, let me buy some.
I'd really appreciate it.
Please!
How much a bag?

Take the lead.
I became the resident representative

- Hello? - I'm going out tonight.
You pick up Da-na from school.
Right.
I cooked it so well.
Good.
- Daddy. - Yes?
Aren't you bored at home?
I'm too busy to be bored.
You don't like Daddy staying home?
I do, but my friends tease me.
They tease you because Daddy stays home?
Those ugly ones do.
But I don't care.
Listen, Da-na.
Daddy's home when Mommy is busy.
When Daddy is busy, Mommy's home.
It's just that Mommy is always busy.
That's why I stay home.
By the way, who dares to tease you?
These boys are so cute.
- You saw that soap opera? - God, I love that guy.
- Oh, 'Proposal of Love'? - You watched it?
- Isn't he lovely? - No way.
He cries too often in it.
- You're better, Jin-man. - No kidding.
- Becareful! - Bye.
Eat all of your lunch, bye.
CHO Da-na! What's this with your dad?
No, with your mom!
CHO Da-na has Daddy for Mommy.
Mommy, mommy!
I don't have a mom!
- I don't care. - Not good.
So you go down again.
You go down too often.
That's not good in bed.
Going down isn't always a bad thing!
- He won again! - You always win!
Come on, pay up.
My hand's too big to clean it. See if you can.
Let me try it.
I can't
Let me see. Use a washing brush.
No, no, no.
Put potato peels, water, and boil it.
It'll be as good as new.
- He knows everything. - He's awesome.
Six years of homemaking, it's nothing.
- Wish he were my husband. - He's better than us.
You're playing this hand? Go ahead.
I gotta go.
I got an errand to run. See you later.
You can't fold after seeing your cards.
I really have to go.
Stay a little longer.
So you can win our money and buy groceries with it?
Fine, let's call it a day.
He's such a homemaker.
- Jin-man. - No winner's tip.
No, the monthly payment for a private financing.
Oh, I'm finally getting it next month.
- Hi, Mr. KANG. - Oh, Su-hee.
You must be busy with your new show.
A little bit.
- What show do you do lately? - 'Mom's Cooking.'
That's still on?
Ratings are getting better.
- In fact, I want to... - Nam-kyu!
I hear you're looking for a new host.
How about me? Let's have lunch together.
Sorry I'm kind of busy now.
Hi, guys. Welcome to our show.
Good to have you with us on Delicious Talk.
First off, let me introduce our star guests.
LEE Hwa-sun, a super model!
It's so good.
When I make kimchi at home,
It's not as good.
It's the salted shrimp that decide the taste.
Shrimp are caught around the year.
But they're not all the same.
Those caught in June are the best.
Kimchi tastes the best when made with them.
Shrimp caught in June...
How come your daughters-in-law aren't helping you?
- They're busy. - They're not.
They don't wanna help you make it.
But will ask for some later.
What can I do? I don't have a daughter.
I'll play a wicked sister-in-law for you.
If you have any complaints, let me know.
What? Am I amiable?
Suddenly I'm confused whether you're a son or a daughter.
When will you get a job?
I'm happy as it is.
My happiness is yours, isn't it?
Shut up.
If your father finds out, I'm done for.
When you were born, your father was so happy...
...because you are the eldest to carry the name.
If he sees you making kimchi with me...
Oh God!
Speak of the devil!
It's your father.
Hello?
What?
You're on your way home?
Okay.
I'm sorry I have to leave in such a hurry.
No, it's fine.
- Bye. - Okay.
Suddenly he has an accent.
Thanks for Kimchi. Take care.
Okay, don't worry.
- See You later. - Okay.
- Was anybody here? - Jesus!
No, I came out for fresh air.
Let's go in.
Do a good job!
I'm not sleeping with you!
You're the biggest asshole I've ever seen!
Thank you so much.
Not, bitch!
You hit me?!
- Who do you think you are?! - Calm down.
What's wrong with you? Stop it.
Taking her side?
You're on your period, or what?
Cut it out, will you?
Jin-man.
Shouldn't you be fixing your wife dinner?
Go sing your daughter lullabies.
Feeling good hanging out for a chance?
Then shut up and drink, you wet blanket!
You son of a bitch!
Calm him down!
- Stop it! - Let go of me!
- Who called him? - You did.
Did he pay his dues?
- You son of a bitch! - Jin-man!
- You think cooking is that easy? - Cool it!
Didn't your mom cook to feed you?
Don't disrespect homemaking.
It's a million times more meaningful...
...than you screwing around!
- We know. - Let go!
- Come on. - Let go.
Let go.
Let go of me!
I forgot my Kimchi!
Asshole!
If I ever see you again, you're dead.
Fuck!
- Shit! - That...
Damn!
- Daddy! - Da-na?
You forgot her and drank?
I told you I was going out.
You didn't pay attention.
She had fun with her friends.
It's okay.
Don't let it happen again.
I need to focus on my work.
They might end my show.
On't stress me out with things like this.
I can't believe how condescending she is.
What a perfect day to move.
- Hi. - Hi.
You live here?
- I'm the resident representative. - You are?
If you have any problems, feel free to let me know.
I will.
The dumpster is behind the building.
Put out food waste on Mon, Wed, and Fridays.
Okay. Thanks.
You picked a great floor.
- That's 13, 14... - It's the 14th, apt # 1403.
It has a great view.
Excuse me! Wait!
Damn!
Have you heard from her?
I haven't, either!
- How could this happen? - Wait!
Wait up!
- I can't believe this! - Oh, God!
She ran.
Her cell phone's been off for days now.
And her daughter missed school for days.
She really ran?
No way! She would never do that.
The lady who lived here, did she leave you a number?
She moved abroad.
Be careful with that!
How could this happen?
This is why private financing is so risky.
Don't be saying that. You got your money!
What are we gonna do? Oh God!
I'm sure we can find her.
We'll get our money back.
- I got mine last month. - What?
- What about you? - Two months ago.
You all got yours except me.
- Sleeping? - No.
I have something to tell you.
- Do it tomorrow. - I can't.
I couldn't do anything all day because of this.
I can't sleep, either.
- That bad? - Yes.
- I wanna be honest with you. - Has it been that long?
No, in fact...
It's not that.
Yeah, right there.
Baby!
What's up? I haven't seen you for ages.
He's a new actor. I'll call you. Thanks!
Come here.
- Nam-kyu, how are you? - Hi.
It's for you.
Let me tell you. You look better than ever.
I have a new face for you. Check him out.
- What does he do? - He's an actor.
I guess I can use him as an extra.
Thank you!
Good for you. He's a great producer.
- See you later outside. - Of course!
Bye, Nam-kyu. Thanks!
Lotto Lottery
Money?
- How much? - 30 grand.
- You're crazy. - See if you can get it.
I'm an agent, not a fund manger.
Look.
When you were in trouble with loan sharks...
...I bailed you out, didn't I?
That was like a century ago. And I paid you back.
What for?
I joined private financing with neighbors.
- For more interests. - She ran?
She moved abroad.
That's just your luck.
You always mess up.
How many numbers do I have to get to win?
- At least 3. - 3?
The fourth is a yellow ball. It's 30.
- I got 4 right so far. - What?
And 34.
The fiifth is a blue ball.
- It's 34. - It's 34!
You got that?
And 43.
The sixth is a green ball.
It's 43.
43! He won!
I can't believe this!
Just when you need money! I can't believe this!
He won! The drinks are on us!
I'll come to the bank with you.
If you ditch me, I'll kill you!
What's wrong? You won the Lotto!
I wrote down the numbers for fun.
- You didn't buy the ticket? - Maybe next time.
I can do this.
- I will win! - Shut up and eat.
- Eat, asshole! - Okay.
- Can we have some more here? - You pay for it!
When does our depot account mature?
- In a few months, I think. - You're not sure?
Don't we have to make a reservation for surgery?
I already have. I have it under control.
What should we do with the rest? Anything you want?
I want a piano.
My best friend has one, and she brags about it.
Are you gonna play it?
Yes! I'll play it everyday!
- What do you think? - Sure.
But you have a melodeon.
I'll teach you the basics with it.
And I want to study English at an institute.
My friends do.
You wanna study English? That's nice.
- Are You gonna study hard? - Yes, everyday!
I'll teach you English, too. All the basics.
Come on, let's eat.
I'll teach you everything. Don't worry.
- She's clueless, isn't she? - Keep it down.
- When will you tell her? - Shut up!
Off the couch!
- It's my bed. - Aren't you gonna tell her?
If I do, she'll divorce me.
Daddy?
What you call a state of mind where you're at your wits end?
- Helplessness. - The word for your daddy!
- Helplessness. - Correct.
Wow!
Who said he would plant an apple tree...
...even if the world were to end tomorrow?
That's Spinoza.
Spinoza.
Your dad would have to have a casket made for himself.
- What's helping someone die? - Euthanasia.
- You'll help him die? - You're dead meat!
You won it. You won Mrs. Quiz Queen.
You're like a housewife.
If you get on that show, you will win.
30 grand!
The preliminary for Mrs. Quiz Queen will be held in here.
Are you kidding me?
It's not gonna work. I can't do this.
What about 30 grand you need?
I'll figure out a way.
- Jin-man. - You're crazy.
- It's only for 3 weeks. - Forget it.
Ma'am?
- Here for the preliminary? - Yes.
Good luck, baby!
Thanks for waiting. I have the results with me.
Those who passed are, Mrs. KIM Myung-soon?
- Mrs. HAN Ae-ja? - Here!
- Mrs. LEE Geum-shim? - Right there.
- Mrs. OH Young-sil? - Here.
And the last one topped the preliminary.
Mrs. CHO Jin-man!
Isn't Mrs. CHO here?
I'm sorry it ended up like this.
We might do a show together again.
Su-hee, I've left a stain on your career.
I'm sorry.
Call off that field trip to our station.
My show has been terminated.
Because of low ratings.
It's okay.
Yeah, I'm sad and upset.
I would sell my soul if I could get another show.
- Nam-kyu, let's go eat. - Okay.
- I can't believe you topped it. - Get me a bigger size next time.
- It gives me a wedge. - It does? Okay.
Thank that make-up artist.
My legs hurt.
- Young-seung? - Hi.
What are you doing here?
This is CHUN Geum-ja. I'm her agent.
See you later.
Bye.
She didn't recognize you.
Yes?
Who's this?
Too many eyes at work, so I called you.
What's this about?
I'm looking for a new host for my show.
And I thought you might be the right person.
Don't tell anyone about this till it becomes official.
Me?
It's not decided, but we'll see how it goes.
Okay.
Keep it to yourself for now.
You know they talk.
- Nam-kyu, wait. - Yes?
- But, why me? - I like an ambitious girl.
Let's make it work.
I can't believe you topped it.
- What? - Hey!
You freaking pervert!
- He grabbed my ass! - Asshole!
Son of a bitch!
Come here, asshole!
You pervert!
- Come here, come here. - I'm sorry.
Break his leg!
That's nonsense. We should disqualify him.
If we put him on the show...
...they will think he's a bum after the prize.
- We'll be a laughingstock. - Look.
Our show is for homemakers, regardless of sex.
- Mr. CHO? - Yes?
- You're a homemaker, right? - Right.
That's right. He almost had a baby, too.
We would be deceiving the viewers.
You don't get it.
John Lennon became a househusband after his son was born.
And that famous spokesman resigned to be a househusband...
...so his wife could pursue her career.
That's a foreign country. In Korea...
Do you know how many househusbands are out there?
It's the reflection of our society and will create an issue.
And it will help the ratings on the decline.
Let's go for it.
- You can do it, can't you? - Huh?
So this will help the ratings?
Okay then. How about next week?
No problem! He's very available.
You have a week to study.
Cram your head with facts. Memorize the newspaper.
Okay?
I can't go on that show without makeup on!
How will you come up with 30 grand then?
If she finds out, I'm done.
She's been nagging me to get a job.
From my experience, you can persuade her in bed.
Make her come big time.
- Then talk to her. - Keep it down.
Whatever you ask after sex, she'll say yes.
- You seem very happy. - My show ended.
You put so much into it.
I can't help it.
Where'd you go today?
You neglect yourjob lately.
You're dead tonight.
- Honey... - Baby!
Let me take them off.
Hurry, baby.
- Baby! - Oh, my baby!
Daddy, read me a book.
Honey...
I have something to tell you.
- Tomorrow. - Tomorrow?
Let's meet the contestants.
Mrs. LEE Geum-shim from Miari!
Kids, I'll do my best. Let's go!
Go, Mom!
Her kids look so healthy.
Welcome the next contestant. Mrs. KIM Myung-soon!
Don't be too nervous. Try to relax.
Okay.
For 3 consecutive wins, let's go!
Go, HAN Ae-ja!
Camera 2... Cut!
Now, let me introduce the last contestant.
I've been hosting this show for years now.
And this is a historic moment for our show.
Please, welcome the first male contestant.
Mr. CHO Jin-man!
- Are you okay? - Sure.
I'm fine.
Tell us how you feel about being on the show.
I'm here because...
A male contestant on Mrs. Quiz Queen?
- Isn't that Jin-man? - What?
What was he thinking, getting on that show?
I bet his wife forced him To for money.
He gives men a bad name.
I hope my appearance on this show...
...will make my family happier.
Camera 3, cut!
What a beautiful...
- He must be your friend. - Yes.
We're what they call 'Testicle Friends.'
Damn!
Good friends.
That's an old expression for good friends.
Okay, let's get started.
Ivy League refers to 8 prestigious colleges in the US.
Ivy is a plant that falls into the category of this.
LEE Geum-shim, give us your answer.
- Vitaceae! - Correct!
This term was first used by Edward Lorentz in 1979.
If a butterfly flaps its wing in China, it will influence...
Ae-ja, the answer is?
- The Butterfly Effect! - Correct!
They're hardy plants. In English, they are called...
Jin-man, the answer is?
The answer is sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes?
Sorry.
Let's finish the clue.
Where's the original home of sweet potatoes?
- A handball! - Correct.
- The answer is? - It's a lacquer ware.
Sorry.
- The answer is Plato. - You got it.
- It's rugby. - Correct.
- Grapes. - Correct.
We have one question left for 50 points.
Anybody want to use Chance?
If you give the right answer, you get 100 points.
If you don't, you lose 100.
I'll use Chance.
In 3rd place, Jin-man will use Chance.
If he gives the right answer...
...it'll give him a come-from-behind win.
If he doesn't, LEE Geum-shim will win...
...as she's in the lead.
Here's the last question.
Korean Word It's a Korean word.
It's original meaning stems from a medieval punishment.
When things go wrong or unexpectedly...
You pressed the buzzer before the clue was fully given.
Let's see if you know the answer.
What's your answer?
I don't know!
You used Chance.
You have 3 seconds.
Dammit.
Dammit?
Correct!
Today, it's used as a swearword.
But it referred to flogging in the medieval times.
Congratulations! Step forward, please.
Congratulations!
By winning the double points...
...he became the first male winner of Mrs. Quiz Queen.
He won 10 grand in cash and a steam cleaner.
- Congratulations! - Thanks.
- Tell us how you feel. - Okay.
- Good job, guys. - Good job.
- It was good. - How was it?
It was awesome. It'll bring good reactions.
News team wants information on CHO Jin-man.
Really? Get it to them.
What'd I say?
I can't believe Dammit was the answer.
You didn't know, did you?
- That's so funny. - Hello?
Yes, this is he.
TV station?
Hello?
Yes, I'm his agent.
- Hey! - Wait a second.
He's been a househusband for 6 years.
Ever since he got married.
You can book him through me.
Thanks!
They want you on a morning talk show.
Talk show my ass! Forget it.
Talk show is a great gig!
Bye, Teacher.
- Bye, guys. - Bye.
Hi.
I'll be Da-na's agent.
Daddy!
Come here. Be careful not to fall.
Hi, Young-seung.
Yeah.
You went grocery shopping?
Come here.
I got on that quiz show and won.
- Really? - Yes.
You rock!
- You happy I was on TV? - Yes, you're the best!
- Does Mommy know? - Mommy?
Why don't we tell her later? Much later.
We can do stories on those we see in our daily lives.
Ones that we can relate to.
No cheap stories of celebrities.
Viewers prefer those cheap stories.
They might like real-life stories of our own.
Like that guy on Mrs. Quiz Queen?
Huh?
Yeah, sort of.
People watch the TV to escape from reality.
Why would they wanna see their own lives on TV?
Right.
What does your husband do?
Huh?
He's self-employed.
She must love you for being pretty and capable.
Yeah.
- Any other ideas? - I'm not much help.
Try harder.
Let's get out of here.
Daddy's upset. I might spank you.
What's this?
Your mom always loses things.
- It's Mommy's ring. - It's her wedding ring.
- A wedding ring? - Yeah.
When we got married...
...we put these on this finger
and swore to love forever.
Why the third finger?
You're so curious. Clench your fist like Daddy.
A thumb, index finger, long finger...
...the third finger, and pinky.
The third finger doesn't open easily alone, does it?
That's the same for people. We can't live alone.
So when they fall in love...
...they put rings on the third...
...and swear to love for eternity.
So you swore?
Of course. That's how you were born.
By the way, your mom is late again.
Thanks.
I like the tone of your voice.
Very warm.
We'll call.
And we'll exchange ideas through email.
'The 3% higher strategy' will be adopted
That's not for feet.
Okay.
Honey, can you help me?
I'm tired.
Come on, help me out. I'm tired, too.
Why tired?
I did all the house chores and played with Da-na.
That's yourjob.
Honey.
How can you say that?
- What's wrong? - You don't know?
Do you look down on me because I stay home?
No, I don't.
And you're home voluntarily.
Yeah, I like staying home.
I couldn't be happier!
A male contestant won the quiz show for housewives.
JANG has more for us.
A househusband named CHO Jin-man...
... won a quiz show designed for housewives.
Cho Jin-man got a job with a major firm after college...
... but decided to stay home 6 years ago.
That wasn't you, was it?
- Are you crazy? - I thought it through.
You thought it through and got on that show?
What if people we know recognize you?
- Well, I needed some money. - Money?
Don't worry. I'm getting a new show soon.
And we have that deposit account for my dad's operation.
You got on that show for money?
No, it's just...
Didn't I tell you to get a job?
I'm a public figure.
It didn't cross your mind?
Honey, I just...
I'm sorry. I won't go back next week.
Damn!
The first male winner.
A seven-day fame!
You remember?
Back in high school,
our teacher was beating some kids...
...and you got up abruptly and said...
A good teacher never beats his students like that.
Why bring that up?
You looked as cool on the show as you did back then.
They call it a coming out of a male homemaker.
Every behavior is a product of an ideology.
Standing up to that teacher was your ideology.
So was getting on that show.
Ideology my ass!
It might cost me my family.
I saw the show. I hope you win next week.
Good girl!
I was so happy...
...to see you on TV and win.
That's right. Daddy is the best!
Were you happy, too?
You're my baby!
Is my daddy your baby, too?
Of course. You both are my babies!
Back in high school,
Look who's talking.
Get changed. He'll be home soon.
Okay, I will.
Hello?
Yes.
When?
Okay.
- You worked a lot today. - My father collapsed.
That phone call...
- Why didn't you leave early? - My sister's with him.
I'll go to the hospital after I drop you off.
We're home.
He always wins when we play cards.
He's a resident representative.
Once my son had an acute stomach upset...
...and he fixed him with an acupuncture.
He's a great cook.
Whenever there's a party, he's our chef.
There he comes. Jin-man!
He's here!
Please say some word.
Please, keep it down. My daughter's sleeping.
How do you feel about winning the contest?
How long have you been a househusband?
Can you do an interview with your wife?
What?
- Don't push! - Move!
What about the surgery?
The faster, the better.
Close that deposit account.
I'll tell you the truth. That money...
I joined private financing for more interests.
And I lost it.
That's why I got on that show.
The total winning prize is...
Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?
You're good for nothing!
How could you not give me credit for what I do?
Credit?
I had to put up with a lot to keep my job!
It's hard for me, too.
I cook, clean, and do the laundry without day-offs.
It makes me so depressed, but I keep on going...
...because somebody has to do it.
So you wanna tell others your experience for money?
You should be ashamed of yourself!
Why should I? I'm not ashamed at all!
I couldn't be more proud of being a househusband.
And I...
- Anything wrong? - No.
- You're not busy, are you? - Huh?
Can you play?
No.
I'll teach you. Here.
Put your left hand here.
And with your right hand, you snap it.
Look at that rim.
Think it's the only thing that exists before you.
You have one shot.
Think of it as the only shot you have in life.
Go ahead.
Did you see that?
How did I do that?
We'll do meetings at work from now on.
- What about others? - It's been decided. You're the new host now.
Really?
I'm the host for your show?
You deserve it. You worked hard for it.
Thank you so much.
I'll pay you back for this.
- How will you do that? - Huh?
I will work hard.
Not enough. Working hard won't do.
With one second left to go, you have the only shot to make.
- Room 502, please. - Okay.
Nam-kyu?
I forgot to give you something.
Can you come down?
I'm in the shower now.
Send your husband down then.
We're in the shower together.
Okay then. I'm so envious.
- Who is it? - The front desk.
What a nice place. Can I come in?
No way. I know you'll eat me.
I'm gonna get you!
What should I do, Da-na?
I don't think I can keep that promise with you.
You miss Mommy's smile, don't you?
You should do just like this.
- He's Not here yet? - I can't reach him.
Does he know it's today?
Hold on.
- Of course, he does. - Where is he then?
He'll be here soon. Sorry.
How do I know why he isn't here, asshole?!
I'm sorry.
I messed up.
- Who are you? - I'm his son-in-law.
Oh, Mrs. Quiz Queen!
He talks a lot about you.
He asked me to wake him up for the show.
He said he'd made a bet with his friends on your win.
He thinks it will help him feel better about the surgery.
Aren't you supposed to be at the station now?
Welcome to the show. I'm your host, SHON.
We have five contestants...
...to compete for the prize. - No, his agent is here.
He's not here yet? Go find him now!
Taxi!
Wait!
- Dreams of seagulls? - That's correct!
That's correct! Now you have the lead.
The winner will...
- Is he here? - We're been calling him.
God!
Driver, here.
Thanks.
Congratulations! KIM's going to the final!
Thank you!
Now it's the highlight of the show.
She'll compete against CHO, the last week's winner.
He's not here yet. Buy some time.
Before that, let's talk to Mrs. KIM.
What are you doing? You're his agent!
Hold on.
I'm just his friend.
I'm not his agent. We didn't even sign a contract!
I thank my hairdresser to encourage me to be here.
And my dog is watching the show at home.
Popi, I love you. Mom will win!
Damn!
Pick the second runner-up for the final.
Keep going straight!
I'm sorry to tell you that CHO Jin-man...
...last week's winner...
...couldn't make it due to personal matters.
Since he was the fist male contestant for our show...
...I feel so sorry, as a host, that he couldn't make it.
Wait!
- How Are you? - Hi.
Get on with it!
Here's CHO Jin-man!
- He's on! - I told you!
Wow, Da-na!
He's so cute.
He's our patron. He looks better in person.
I even shook his hands.
He's back on the show.
Better than us.
Damn.
Checkmate!
Now, we have true/false questions.
Listen to the questions and pick your answer.
Here we go.
Bacchus is the God of liquor.
Tea isn't good with medicine.
Ants die if they fall off the Empire State Building.
Yawning is contagious.
Owls can turn their heads 360 degrees.
Spaghetti is from China.
- Oh... - Why'd you throw him to me?
I thought you wanted him. Why still here?
I don't feel good.
Why'd you turn it off? Give me the remote.
Wait, wait.
I was watching a soap opera.
The points are...
The last question will decide this weeks' winner.
Give it away.
It's about kimchi.
Salted shrimps are used to make kimchi.
Those caught in this month of the year are...
If you get this question right, you win 2 consecutive weeks.
- The answer is? - It's June.
Those caught in June are the best.
Correct!
Congratulations on your second win!
Thank you!
I'm his agent!
Daddy is the best!
That's my boy!
Do we have a digester?
- Why crying? - That soap opera is so sad.
- Why clapping then? - I always clap when I cry.
Oh my God!
God!
You were so close, Ji-hye.
I had so much fun and I hope you win next week.
- Thank you. - That was nice.
Jin-man, next week is a family special.
Tell us how you're feeling.
It wasn't an easy decision for me to enter this show.
But I'm here to be confident about myself.
On behalf of all those househusbands out there...
...I'll do my best to win next week. - Thanks.
I hope you...
Excuse me.
- What? - One more thing.
Da-na, it's Daddy.
I love you!
Special Feature, Mr. Housewife
His life story
I'm sorry about before. I was so drunk.
If you get breast cancer,
we give you 50 grand tops.
And for uterine cancer, 30 grand more.
Housewife Life
You couldn't have won without my support.
Study harder and win the third week.
Fly higher!
Jin-man, you're good!
He's the center of attention.
But he's not a celebrity. Let's meet him.
Hi, I'm CHO Jin-man, Mr. Housewife.
That's right. Mr. Housewife is with us.
What if Dad finds out?
Our relatives think you're disgracing the family.
Don't get me involved. Good luck.
Bye.
What's wrong?
I haven't heard from her for a week.
I heard she got a new show.
Our Family
Since it's the first broadcast, it has to be exciting.
Let's invite OH Da-hye. She's pretty big now.
Call her. Anybody else in mind?
How about that Mr. Housewife?
Mr. Housewife?
His name is CHO Jin-man. He won Mrs. Quiz Queen.
He's really big now.
I'll contact him. Everybody wants him, though.
Okay, book him.
Su-hee?
- Su-hee? - What?
- We're having a meeting here. - I'm sorry.
Words won't do.
Book that housewife guy, no matter what it takes.
This isn't a free ride. Understood?
Okay.
What about the set?
Nam-kyu is pushy but knows what he's doing.
How'd she become the host?
I was shocked that he gave her the show.
Did you see her in there?
She's old and senseless.
Who knows? She must be good in bed.
What do you mean?
Look at her. She's an enchantress type.
- How about me? - Forget it.
- Hello? - It's me.
You want me on your show?
We'll pretend we don't know each other.
You don't want them to know I'm your husband?
Don't put it like that. This is hard for me, too.
Give me credit first.
For what?
For being a homemaker. Then I'll be on your show.
What's wrong with you? That'll ruin my career!
Please, let's go home.
I'm sorry. I need more time.
More and more househusbands are signing up...
... for a quiz show designed for housewives.
JUNG Jae-heon has more.
I'm here at the preliminary for Mrs. Quiz Queen.
So are 10 househusbands.
We studied the bar together.
She passed, and I didn't. So I decide to be a househusband.
Since a househusband won...
Thank God he's not my son.
But I'm here to feel confident about myself.
On behalf of all those househusbands out there...
... I'll do my best to win next week.
That's...
Hi, Dad.
What are you doing here?
- Why didn't you go to work? - I took a day off.
You haven't eaten, have you?
Da-na is Daddy's treasure
- How's work? - The economy is so sluggish.
It's so-so.
You bought your mom a fridge?
With what money?
I got it for free from work. It was a bonus.
Are you good with Su-hee?
Of course. Why wouldn't I?
- Go ahead. - That's good.
- You used MSG? - No, some wild sesame.
I know you like wild sesame.
You know my taste better than your mom.
Do it right.
Whatever you do.
Once you've started...
...try to be good at it.
Thanks for meeting me.
You're a lot prettier up close.
Those braces are okay.
Good when kissing.
Hi.
- How Are you? - Good.
Su-hee!
What are you doing?
You're still on bad terms with her?
Can't you tell?
Make up with her. Otherwise...
- Rehearsal begins soon. - Okay.
Good luck.
Hi.
You couldn't look better.
We're wearing microphones. Please, shut up.
Standby!
Camera 2 on them. Cue!
Everybody's talking about this Mr. Housewife.
Yes, he won the quiz show designed for housewives.
That's right.
Please, welcome CHO Jin-man, Mr. Housewife!
Hi.
First of all, congratulations on your second win.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
You finish it up with cream.
That looks good.
And you decorate it with fruit.
Right.
Are there any difficulties as a househusband?
A lot. Quite a few.
It often makes me depressed.
I even suffered from hypochondria.
It's not only for ladies?
No.
Homemaking is a hard work.
It doesn't matter if you're a male or female.
It's a disease created by the environment.
I see.
From what I heard,
you're a great househusband.
Your wife must be real happy.
I don't know.
- What do you think? - I guess she is.
If I meet a guy like you,
I'd marry him right away.
Let's get married.
What if your husband were a homemaker like me?
- What? - Would you be happy?
- I think so. - I'm sure.
Okay, let's move onto...
Good job, Su-hee.
You were great, Jin-man.
Thanks.
They're waiting for us.
That producer guy...
He put his arm around her so naturally.
It was strange.
If you put a plate outside, it breaks.
What do you mean? She's broken?
I don't know. She might've chipped a bit.
You know something, don't you?
I know nothing.
It's written all over your face.
- What is it? - Forget it.
Come on, tell me now. I'm notjoking.
What is it?
Tell me!
Why don't we drink some more? Just you and me.
You're drunk. Maybe next time.
You keep saying that.
What should I do?
- I'm not going home tonight. - Nam-kyu, stop it.
Be honest. You don't like me?
If you don't, tell me so.
See? You can't.
You bitch!
What the fuck!
Come here!
- Oh, no! - CHO Jin-man?
- You fucking asshole! - What are you doing?
I'm her husband, SOB!
What?
- Come here! - Hey you...
Asshole!
Get the hell off me!
- You're dead! - Let go!
Son of a bitch!
She's my wife!
Help! Anybody!
- Jin-man! - Cut it out!
Calm down, Nam-kyu! Cool it!
- Jin-man, You okay? - Get out of the way!
Nam-kyu?
Forget about it. It's a pure misunderstanding.
Let it go.
He's really her husband?
He is.
Why'd you hit me?
Why?
Fuck!
- How's Da-na? - You're worried about her?
Don't talk like that.
If you are, do me a favor.
Next week is a family special. Get on the show with me.
I don't want her to look as if she doesn't have a mom.
I have a meeting then.
Don't let your heart wander around.
- Daddy? - Yes?
- Is lying bad? - Did you lie?
Yes, I told my friends I didn't have a mom.
Give me your nose.
Why did you?
They kept teasing me that you're my mom.
Mom's not coming home because I lied?
No, she's away on business.
I wanna play with her.
When's she coming back?
- You brushed your teeth? - Yes.
- Let me see. - Disgusting!
No, it's not. Give Daddy a kiss.
Let's go.
Happy birthday dear mommy.
- Mommy, I love you. - I love you, honey!
- Happy birthday. - I love you, baby.
The colors don't match.
It'll make you stand out.
Go, CHO Jin-man!
- Jin-man, you have to win! - Go, Jin-man!
- You look so cool! - Thank you.
Stop it now. You're embarrassing me.
- Thank you. - Go, Jin-man!

Where'd we kiss for the first time?

That was the second time. A bar called Hollywood was...
The name of a band that sang A letter for you.'

A symbol of our love.

To me, winning this isn't important at all.
But I want you to get this question right.
We promised to love each other for eternity...
...with this ring.
It was when I put this ring on your finger.
We promised to love and support each other.
I know I'm not that special.
But I love you...
...as much as I did then.
I will always love you.
Like...
Like we fell in love at first sight.
It'll never change.
What should we do?
Leave them.
This ring...
Will you accept it again?
Baby, I love you!
I'll be nicer to you.
Let me kiss you.
Let me kiss you, baby.

I'm not happy about that because we don't play as much.
But Mommy seems very happy.
Be happy and well. Goodbye.
Oh, my grandpa's surgery was successful.
Otherwise, I would've been really bored.
Daddy bought me a piano.
I will practice it hard from now on...
...and become a great pianist.
That's the story of our family.
Da-na rocks!
Good!
I told you I'd teach you all the basics.
Hooray!
