(The hot place for designs)
(Korea's landmark DDP)
(Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Jung-gu, Seoul)
This is My Neighbor, Charles
where we meet foreigners living in Korea.
- Hello. / - Hello.
The My Neighbor, Charles studio
has been completely transformed.
The set is an international letter, right?
It really suits our guests
that come from overseas.
It's a great concept.
With the new studio,
the show feels completely new.
I'm really excited.
"New wine should be kept in new wineskins."
Just as the saying goes...
That has a profound meaning.
Do you know what that means?
I wonder.
If you've dressed up in a new way,
people should change as well.
- You two... / - Is it your last day today?
- What? / - Are you quitting?
Are you quitting, Seokcheon?
Me?
Me...
He's shocked.
Why did you choose such a saying?
"Better the devil you know than the devil you don't."
That's a much more fitting saying.
- Clever. / - Please say nice things like that.
He's right.
He has come too far.
We've dressed up the studio in a new way.
Let's meet the first guests of this new start.
- They'll be coming in through there. / - Through here.
Please come in.
- Come on in. / - Let's welcome them.
Come in.
(We welcome you to My Neighbor, Charles)
It's nice to meet you. Please sit down.
Hello.
I'm Ceren's husband, Jeong Dongpil.
Hello, Jeong Dongpil.
Hello, I'm Dongpil's wife, Jeong Ceren.
You need to be careful of your pronunciation.
It sounds like you're calling him "poop."
It's hard to pronounce.
They're newlyweds.
Don't they look like they're so much in love?
I noticed you have a bump in your stomach.
Are you pregnant?
Yes, I am pregnant.
Really?
When you get pregnant,
you have dreams about the child.
They call that birth dreams.
Have you had a birth dream, Ceren?
Yes, I have.
I dreamed of a fish at 3 months.
A small fish in my dream.
That usually means it's a daughter.
In Turkey, a fish means daughter as well.
You have birth dreams in Turkey?
No birth dreams.
It depends on what you eat.
If you eat sour foods, it's a daughter.
If you want to eat sweet foods, it's a son.
- What are you then? / - That's similar then.
We say that in Korea as well.
In Japan, if a pregnant woman
cleans the toilet well,
then it's a pretty daughter.
- If you clean the toilet? / - Yes.
So my mom apparently cleaned the toilet all day long.
- 24 hours a day. / - Whatever Sayuri says...
It makes you wonder if it's true.
- I want to look it up. / - She's not reliable.
How did you two meet?
I felt a yearning for Istanbul.
I went on a trip.
And college students provided
a translation service at the time.
I fell for her at first sight.
I didn't believe in love at first sight.
I went on that trip
and thought, "I could marry this girl."
That was before I met her. I just saw her face.
It was really bad back then.
He kept
nagging me.
Saying he doesn't want to eat this or that.
And I'd tell him to do his own thing.
I didn't want to help him.
You must've returned to Korea after the trip.
I kept contacting her.
We kept in touch.
After a year, my thoughts started to change.
There were other sides to him that I didn't know.
I thought he was alright.
So I came up with a plan.
I wanted to do things like go on dates
and express my feelings for her.
So I took another break
and returned to Turkey.
As soon as he saw me,
he kissed me and hugged me at the airport.
I thought he was a crazy person.
He couldn't contain himself.
But I fell in love with him then.
Even though I say it like this.
Dongpil had to overcome so much
to make this relationship work.
I haven't said it but I went through so many difficulties.
I'll tell you little by little.
That short meeting you had on your trip
flourished into marriage.
- It was meant to be. / - Yes.
I'm so curious about their sweet married life.
Let's check it out now.
(My Neighbor, Charles)
(Turkish Bride's Wedding Diary)
You live in Yeosu now, right?
(Something smells delicious)
(Chopping)
You're pretty good with the knife.
(Sizzling)
I can tell it's rice rolls.
Rice rolls.
- Nice. / - Rice rolls?
If you slice carrots like that, it's for rice rolls.
(Sounds that awaken your appetite)
Who taught you how to make rice rolls?
I just looked it up online.
(Time to make the rolls)
Wait, that laver...
Isn't that cooked laver?
Yes...
(This way and that way)
You can't roll them with that.
It tastes better.
(Covering the entire sheet with rice)
It's hard for foreigners to make that.
I saw this at the rice roll shop.
And the cook filled half of laver with rice.
But she said she covers the whole laver at home.
(Rolling)
That's the wrong way...
(Press)
Look, it's all popped.
Oh, dear.
(Feeling down)
(Tries again in the rice roll restaurant style)
She tries this way and that.
You just need practice.
- She's made a lot. / - You could start a business.
(Ripping apart)
How do I do this?
- It's the laver. / - She can't cut it.
- It's a bit... / - It's hard.
I can't slice it.
Since it's roasted laver.
You can't slice that.
(Nothing can be done)
You have to just hold it and eat it.
- Just like a sandwich. / - What should I do?
I can't do it.
(The rice and laver have been separated)
She did try...
(It's crispy roasted laver)
Look, it's roasted laver.
I'm sorry.
(She just packs them whole)
(Adds lots of sesame seeds)
We just have to eat it whole.
I didn't know that.
She brought it whole like that.
(Husband's workplace)
Her husband's workplace.
That's my shop.
With rice rolls.
(He does custom wraps for cars)
(Walking quietly)
You went without telling your husband, right?
- I had no idea. / - Was it a surprise?
How happy must he be?
- So lovely. / - You scared me.
Who is it?
Who is it?
Who do you think?
The smell...
The smell...
Do I smell?
(So lovey-dovey)
Such newlyweds.
I brought chopsticks.
Why didn't you cut them up?
You have to cut them up.
You said we had rice roll laver at home.
It wasn't rice roll laver.
(Eating rice rolls in cups)
Is that Turkish style?
It's like Turkish kebabs.
(Let's taste the rice rolls)
I couldn't wrap it properly because I didn't have laver.
I couldn't even slice them up.
We have to eat it like this. I'm sorry.
- What's with this rice roll? / - Thank you for the food.
(He chose the one that's popped)
It's completely busted.
You didn't get to show your true talent today.
Normally you're really good.
Normally she's good. You need to tell her that.
Eat up.
How does it taste? Is it okay?
It's good.
- Really? / - Yes.
You can say so if it doesn't taste good.
Rice rolls taste better this way.
When she first made rice rolls,
she didn't season the ingredients.
But now it's perfect.
She didn't know to season it at first.
She just used plain rice.
This is a Turkish song.
Honey.
This is a Turkish song.
It's the song from our wedding.
We danced to this song.
I feel like I'm in Turkey right now.
Exactly. It'd remind her of home.
- It's from the wedding. / - It's their wedding.
He was slimmer back then.
I was slim then.
I gained a lot of weight.
It's very different to Korean weddings.
This must be in Korea.
We had two weddings.
(They got married after 2 years of long-distance dating)
Ceren looks pretty.
It wasn't an easy wedding.
There was some opposition.
My mom got really lonely.
She cried a lot. She was like, "How could you go?
What if your parents-in-law weren't nice?
It'd be too hard for you."
She kept worrying about it until
the moment she saw him again.
(That afternoon)
(Heading off to work)
I'm going to the kindergarten.
For a lesson.
I have to catch two different buses.
It takes about an hour.
But if I take a taxi,
it only takes 10 to 15 minutes.
(The waiting begins)
(Taking the bus alone?)
She's pregnant too.
- Which bus is it? / - Bus 88.
- 88? / - Bus 88 just went by.
(Oh, dear)
Did Bus 88 come already?
It just went past.
She missed it.
Not my luck.
Since I'm late...
How long before the next bus?
20 minutes.
- You have to wait 20 minutes? / - Yes.
I hate doing that.
When you just miss it.
When it's hot out...
(Taking forever)
It takes a long time by bus.
It'd be good if you could take the subway.
- There's no subway in Yeosu. / - That's right.
(The bus arrives)
(Gets off as soon as she sits down)
(Waiting for the transfer bus)
She knows how to transfer.
The bus lines aren't easy.
It has happened once or twice.
I've been 10 or so minutes late.
So I told them...
It's because I take the bus.
It's tiring just to watch.
(A tiring start to the day)
Since I drive,
I never need to take the bus.
I didn't know about this.
- That's your wife. / - First time I've seen this.
(There's a pregnant women's seat)
(Walking)
I drew her a simple map
and told her which bus to take and
at which stop to get off at
to arrive there.
- That's how she started taking the bus. / - No.
(No?)
I'm right.
No, you don't even know the bus number.
You don't know where to go.
I don't know now, but I know the way.
Though I don't know the exact number...
He doesn't know the number.
He just said to get on the bus
and ask around.
He told me to ask and learn.
After that, she looked it up herself
and asked around.
She gets around pretty well.
(Ceren's workplace)
She finally made it.
Hello.
She'd be tired before she even starts work.
(Running)
- You like children. / - Yes.
- Teacher! / - Ms. Ceren!
(She's so popular)
Ms. Ceren!
(So happy)
You're so popular.
Hello!
Where are you from?
Turkey.
- Tokki? / - They said tokki.
- Tokki. / - It's rabbit country.
Rabbit country.
No, no, no. Turkey.
Turkey?
What's your baby's name?
Sarang.
Say hello to my baby. Say hi.
Hello, baby.
See you next time.
How are you today?
I am happy.
I'm happy too.
- Angry. / - Angry?
A popular English teacher.
(She's been teaching English for 3 years)
(She never imagined this life before coming here)
What did you do before?
Oh, you went to medical school?
(She chose love over a bright future)
You studied medicine in Turkey.
She went to medical school.
She's intelligent.
The universities in Turkey
have medicine, engineering, it's all together.
Working at the hospital...
You can be something other
than a doctor for people.
It's like clinical pathology in Korea
or DNA detection.
Like determining DNA in CSI. Things like that.
I feel really bad for my mother-in-law.
She graduated on July 8th.
But we had the wedding
one week later.
Then not long after, towards the end of that month,
she came to Korea.
From her mother's point of view...
- I stole her perfect daughter. / - You sure did.
She supported her through medical school for 5 years.
Her parents must have opposed then.
They wanted to see who I was.
They called me over
and I lived with them for around 2 months.
and I lived with them for around 2 months.
I shared rooms with my brother-in-law.
I lived their lives.
It was kind of like a test.
- An in-depth job interview. / - That's right.
- For 2 months. / - That must've been so hard.
We weren't allowed to be home alone.
If my mom went out, I had to follow her out.
If my siblings were home,
he had to stay with them.
How about communication...
He couldn't even speak...
Your siblings were like watching him.
Dongpil was always under surveillance at home.
Dongpil, you're working right now.
Ceren's mother
would've thought
this Korean youth
wouldn't last in Turkey.
I asked for leave
but the company
would only give me a week at most.
- It was too short a time. / - It's too short.
So after much thought,
I bought the ticket first.
I didn't tell the company.
I bought the ticket.
And decided I'd go no matter what.
So I resigned.
What a man.
You gave up your career for love?
That's right. Jeolla-do men just go for it.
So...
I gave up on work
and I just went to see them.
You need to meet a man
who will give his all for you, Sayuri.
You don't have any brothers?
I guess your husband isn't like that.
He's not like that.
(I'm Sarang's Mom)
What are you looking for?
You have to eat what you feel like.
- I feel like something sour. / - Sour?
I want something sour.
Apple?
Apples aren't sour.
- When do you get plums? / - Oh, plums.
- You have to wait another month. / - A month?
(Struggling to find sour fruit)
Can you get plums around this time of the year?
If I feel like sour food,
is it a daughter or a son?
- A daughter. / - Daughter?
It doesn't matter what sex it is.
I felt like sour foods so much.
I don't know whether it's a son or daughter.
If you eat lots of sour foods in Korea, we say it's a girl.
Really? I'm happy then.
- Thank you. / - Bye.
Try this.
- Thank you. / - What did he give you?
- Tomatoes? / - Tomatoes.
Looks good.
It has to be sourer than that.
That was only a snippet.
She went to the market every day to look for plums.
She wanted sour foods.
(That night)
You work until really late, Dongpil.
(The husband works till late)
My line of work finishes late.
(He leaves very late at night)
(Heading home?)
That would've been around midnight.
(At a fruit and vegetable market)
He went to the market because...
But it's all closed.
It's too late.
They're closed.
I'll check out the other one nearby.
She said she must have it today.
This is bad.
You wanted to buy what your wife wanted.
Since it's midnight.
It's open.
- There was one that was open. / - What a relief.
- Do you have plums? / - Excuse me?
- No plums yet? / - No, not yet.
They're not in season yet.
I'll take this instead.
(He buys something else instead)
She said she wants plums.
She craves it so bad.
He looks very anxious.
At least he tried.
(Doesn't give up and heads to the supermarket)
He's given up at the market.
(He decides to go for canned fruit)
- Right. / - That could be similar.
That was somewhat similar.
(Peach jelly)
(This isn't enough)
Why didn't you buy her plum flavored candy?
(Plum flavored candy)
- There it is. / - That's the only plum flavored one.
She said she wants plums.
But they don't sell any.
I'm going insane here.
She said not to come home without it.
That's the hardest part.
If you look for something that's not in season,
it's really tough.
She'll crave things more and more now.
You're asking because you're worried, right?
I was so worried.
(He heads home with everything but actual plums)
I wonder how she'll respond.
He tried his best though he couldn't find plums.
Honey, I'm home.
I went to three or four places.
They don't sell any. They are not in season.
- They don't have it. / - No?
I just bought everything that tastes like plums.
This is canned fruit. It's inside.
I can't eat this when I'm pregnant.
Then look. Jelly.
Jelly's not good for you either.
Go back.
There are plum pieces inside.
(Plum flavored candy)
Is it sour?
- But this isn't sour. / - It's sweet.
Jelly.
You bought a lot.
Delicious.
He spoke in English because he's at a loss.
I want to eat it.
We have to wait a little longer.
Instead,
- I bought what you like. / - It was really hard.
At least you tried.
I bought apricot.
They're not perfectly ripe yet.
Apricots are somewhat similar.
It tastes exactly the same.
How is it the same?
This is sugar plum.
Look at me sweating right now.
Touch it.
So much sweat.
You're right.
This is real sweat.
(She's thankful for her husband's effort)
Is it good?
- You're right. / - It's the same, right?
- Yeah. / - I told you.
- Okay? Pass? / - Yeah.
Give me a kiss.
It tastes like plum.
He got her smile.
- At least he tried. / - Pass.
Pass.
The plum flavored candy was slightly similar
to what she wanted.
It wasn't an actual plum.
The canned peaches were different.
But the candy was similar.
It wasn't an actual sour plum,
but since there's nothing else...
I had no choice but to eat that.
(What is the World of In-Laws?)
(Myodo, Yeosu, Jeollanam-do)
(Heading to her parents-in-law's to gain some stamina)
Mom.
I smell something delicious.
I made lots of good food for you both.
(The mother-in-law has prepared a feast)
You know how to cook seaweed soup, right?
Yes, mother.
Ceren's good at cooking seaweed soup.
She cooks well without being instructed.
(Bartail flathead is served to the most honored guests)
Bartail flathead?
My mother-in-law is such a good cook.
(Korean way of eating healthy)
Ceren.
What do you eat in Turkey after you give birth?
We eat sherbet, like a cold juice.
It helps produce a lot of milk.
It's good.
When you give birth in Korea...
- You must eat seaweed soup. / - Yes.
- I like seaweed soup. / - That's a relief.
You have to eat heaps of that.
Ceren, when you marinate the pork,
you must add pepper paste.
That looks really delicious.
Garlic, onion, pepper paste.
When I was pregnant with Dongpil,
I lived on pepper paste.
I ate pepper paste the most.
- Really? / - That's why even now...
Dongpil likes pepper paste.
Dongpil likes pepper paste, right?
He likes spicy rice cakes too.
- He does. / - Right?
He likes it all, right?
Do you not want to eat
pepper paste when you're pregnant?
I just want sour food.
That's because it's a daughter.
A son makes you crave red pepper paste.
We don't know yet, mother.
(A feast for her daughter-in-law)
Look at that.
- Wow... / - That's the best.
(Her father-in-law caught the shrimp)
- A feast. / - At home?
- King prawns? / - That looks so good.
He even caught them himself?
That's just what we normally eat.
- Really? / - Yes.
That's not for a special day.
The food really is good in Yeosu.
They're all wild. I caught it with a net.
They're so big though.
I've never seen shrimp this big.
You need to eat nutritious food for the baby.
I prepared this for you. Eat up.
It's delicious, father.
(Dressing in Myodo style)
Those pants...
They're the most comfortable.
I have some at home too.
Put on this jumper.
You can't go in a short sleeve.
(Myodo style is complete)
- Myodo style. / - Yes.
(They're all ready to go out)
This is my daughter-in-law.
Hello.
She has such big and pretty eyes.
I bet she wanted to boast about her.
She's pregnant. I had only sons.
The eldest has two sons as well.
But finally, we have a daughter. Please congratulate her.
Mother, we don't know for sure yet.
You had the birth dream!
If you saw a small fish in the ocean, it's a girl.
A big one is always a son.
Am I right?
If you see a small fish in the ocean, it's a daughter.
A pig.
You have to dream of a pig for a daughter.
- No... / - Birth dreams are always different.
It's 100% a daughter.
I still get stressed and worried.
What happens if I give birth to a son?
If I have a son,
they'll pressure me to have a second child.
I don't want that.
The firstborn takes after the father.
All my friends take after their fathers.
They don't look like their mothers at all.
They all look like their dads, so I'm worried.
I'd prefer a son.
(The real reason they're in Myodo)
Oh, my god.
(Nectarines all around)
You've been looking for this.
Nectarines are similar, right? To plums.
Peaches are similar to plums, right?
- It's sour. / - I was so happy.
I ate a lot back then.
What a relief.
(Yummy)
It's a peach.
Is it sweet?
It's good, right, Ceren?
You wanted sour foods.
This isn't sour.
But it's so good.
They're similar. Plums and nectarines.
It really smells good.
You remember? When I called mom,
I said I wanted peach-meaches.
Meaches?
You mean, peaches?
I said I wanted peaches.
A big harvest.
I'm feeling all happy.
I'm so happy.
It feels like I'm in Turkey.
With all this fruit and picking them together...
She feels like my own mother and I'm so happy.
(That afternoon)
I love the countryside houses.
(Mother-in-law is so generous)
She's packing it for you?
(So much)
She always gives us plenty to take home.
That's how all mothers are.
You must be happy about the nectarines.
(She's just like a daughter to them)
- Bye. / - Bye.
Bye.
- Call often. / - Yes.
(Her in-laws are filling the void left by her family)
(Good Work Today)
(Ceren is taking the driver's license written exam)
Written exam, for driver's license.
- You're trying to get the driver's license? / - License?
- You're going for the automatic, right? / - Yes.
Do you have the test in Turkish?
We don't have Turkish.
- We only have English. / - I'll take it in English.
- I'll register you for English. / - You are good at English.
(He's trying to help her relax)
Good luck.
You have to pass. You can do it.
Okay.
(So much pressure)
That's so hard. I've tried so I know.
(So serious)
(Her mind is so blank)
It was hard the first time.
And it's not in your native tongue.
So even if you're fluent in it...
It's still hard.
(She finally finishes the written exam)
Want some water?
What was your score?
The result...
(Her laugh tells you the answer)
52.
- So close. / - Oh, no.
- Did you fail? / - Yes.
By 8 points.
It's okay. I got 32.
- How many times have you failed? / - 3 times.
I got all the ones I got right.
You'll pass if you try one more time.
I think I can if I try one more time.
(Promising to return next time)
- That was better than I expected. / - Right.
(A few days later)
(He's focused on a new wrap)
He's really serious when he works.
He is.
- He's like the boss. / - Yes.
(She's so focused as well)
That was the day she failed.
- Studying. / - Back to studying.
(The signs are confusing)
That's hard to study by yourself.
Honey, are you busy?
I don't understand this one.
This.
It's hard because I'm not a man.
This one...
On the road.
Bridge or tunnel?
No, it's not a tunnel.
They've used a stone to stop cars from going fast.
It's a speed bump.
(She has solved her curiosity)
Your car?
I'll do it as fast as possible.
I'm trying but I don't know if I can
match when you get off work.
I'll work as fast as I can.
I'm working on it right now.
We have to keep our time promises.
- Of course. / - It's inconvenient to not have their car.
We have to get it done on time.
- And you have work backed up. / - Honey.
Why do you keep calling me? I'm busy.
The customer keeps calling to finish it quick.
I have to hurry.
- His wife keeps calling. / - You can do that later.
Then just tell me one more thing.
Let's just do it at home.
I'm busy right now.
But you're too tired when you get home.
And you come late.
You have to rest at home
but you'll keep going back and forth.
It'll be bad because you're stressed.
No, no. I get more stressed if I don't do this.
What will you do if there's an accident?
What accident? Geez!
Do all women cause accidents?
I understand how she feels.
Since she's pregnant, I was worried
that it would affect the baby.
(She's totally upset)
She's completely upset right now. Look at him.
Are you going home?
- Why do you care where she goes? / - I'm going!
I'll help you at home later.
No! No!
She's really angry.
I have to go to the hospital often.
Since I'm pregnant.
The hospital is in Suncheon.
It takes 30 to 40 minutes.
My husband is so busy,
he doesn't have time to drive me.
That's why if I get a license,
I can drive.
It's not just for me.
It's for him as well.
If she gets a shock
or stressed on the road...
We've actually had a miscarriage before...
I hope we can have a healthy baby this time.
You can't help but worry.
I'm not telling her not to do it.
I'm saying she doesn't have to rush.
That was the problem.
You really study hard.
I have to get it done,
if I want to do it.
You want to get your license
before you give birth.
You seem to be studying harder than
when you were a med student.
That too, but because she told me she'd do it.
That she'd get it no matter what.
(Ding-dong)
- Who is it? / - Did someone come over?
Hello.
Your parents-in-law are there.
They bought fruit.
That looks good.
- Cherries. / - Cherries.
I picked the cherries from the field.
This is the first harvest.
Eat this and have a daughter, not a son.
I want a daughter over a son.
Yes, mother.
Eat plenty. Eat plenty of sour foods
so you can have a pretty daughter.
That's the same in Turkey.
If you eat sour foods, it's a daughter.
(It's all just fruit)
It's all sour fruits.
I only had sons,
so I'd like a daughter.
I don't want a son.
She says she doesn't want it.
My first daughter-in-law had two sons.
And I had two sons too.
So I hope my second daughter-in-law has a daughter.
I've been saying this
since before she got pregnant. Wishing for a daughter.
I want a daughter.
(So much pressure for the daughter-in-law)
Get lots of exercise.
I'll make anything you want to eat.
You should clean the toilet.
(That night)
Look at her cold gaze.
- Stop it. / - Why?
She brought us fruit.
But as she did, she said
to eat lots of fruit and have a daughter.
She says I can't have a son.
She only talks about a daughter.
I'm really stressed.
What do we do if it's a son?
She only wants a daughter.
She's just saying that.
I don't think so.
She's saying that for you, so you won't suffer.
If you can...
Because with sons,
and I'm like this too, they don't express themselves.
For mothers, they get jealous of friends
who have daughters and they go shopping together,
and the daughter shows affection.
She's not saying that a son is bad.
She was lonely
with just men in the house.
So she's hoping you have a daughter
and you can be like friends.
Do you know how I feel then?
Of course I do. I know you're stressed.
It's not about being stressed.
I'm just very worried.
What do we do if it's a son?
Then that's good too.
You don't know how I feel.
It's so much of a burden. I'm so worried.
Why wouldn't I know?
You don't know.
You only take your mother's side!
Coming up with excuses for her.
I'm just saying don't stress out.
How can I not?
(Dongpil is in the middle between his mom and wife)
What can I do in the middle?
You're very good at fighting in Korean.
I was at a loss.
It's not just my mother,
everyone keeps going on about a daughter.
I'm sure it'll stress her out just to hear the word.
I just want a healthy baby.
I understand completely how she feels.
But she keeps going on about a daughter.
What can I do?
I don't care whether it's a son or daughter.
It's not like you have control over it.
The problem could be with me.
I should've been nice to my mom.
But I'm not very good at expressing myself.
These days,
it's easier to converse with them,
so people prefer daughters.
Daughters are more popular in Japan as well.
- They say that a lot. / - Really?
A cute daughter like me.
Sayuri, please leave out the last part.
The "like me" part. Please leave that out.
It's the same in Turkey.
In the old days, they all wanted sons.
But now, they all want daughters.
Cute daughters.
(Congratulations)
What's there to congratulate?
(The husband writes each letter out with love)
(He quietly goes to work)
I have to leave early for work.
So I just left the note and present...
What a caring husband.
(Ceren comes out of her room)
She must've been curious about the present.
What's this?
(Excited)
(So sweet)
Do well on the exam.
- So lovely. / - So sweet.
That's so nice.
When she failed the first time,
she said it was because she didn't eat taffy.
She must've heard that somewhere.
I ate it and still failed.
You can't eat it like that.
That will break your teeth.
(She has never had taffy before)
I don't know what this is.
My husband wrote here
to do well on the exam.
That means I should eat it before the exam.
Honey.
Yes.
I saw something this morning.
Why do I eat this before the exam?
It's like candy.
It's so you'll do well on the exam.
It's nice and sticky.
Right.
Once it sticks, it doesn't fall off.
So you can do well on the exam.
You would've been in big trouble
if you made seaweed soup.
- Have a good exam. / - Thank you.
(Their quarrel is like slicing water with a knife)
(Third attempt at getting her license)
So it's her third attempt.
Challenge!
58 points for the second attempt.
Will the taffy work?
(Ceren has failed before)
(It doesn't look too good)
Why do you look unhappy?
You're making us nervous.
Oh, no.
- Her face... / - I'm curious.
- She's acting. / - It's a secret.
(Ceren visits her husband's workplace)
What was your score?
It was the same.
- The same? / - It's the same?
Did you fail?
I'm so curious.
You passed!
- What was your score? / - Congratulations.
(Congratulations)
Well done.
(Congratulations)
Exactly 60.
I told you it'd work.
Sayuri must be jealous.
I am.
What was your score?
- 32. / - 32?
32?
Did you just guess?
I did.
(She did it on her own)
Congratulations.
(Sunday morning)
(What are these for?)
(Kneading)
What are you making?
Rice cakes?
(Turkish bread)
- Turkish bread is famous. / - It's good.
- Pogaca? / - Pogaca.
You know how to make that?
Don't you just study?
(A bread commonly enjoyed for breakfast)
Bread is the staple in Turkey.
But in Korea, it feels like a dessert.
So she seasons it in her own way.
It tastes kind of bland.
When Turkish people go on picnics,
the mothers make this in the morning.
(Coating it with egg yolk)
30 to 35 minutes in the oven.
That looks delicious.
It's like a bakery.
(Golden)
(The freshly-baked bread is ready)
That's not for yourself?
She's packing it.
It's Turkish coffee.
Turkish coffee is good.
It's nice with the bread.
So I'm packing it together.
(They head off with delicious food)
We visit my mom each Sunday.
We wanted them to have a taste.
(Myodo, Yeosu, Jeollanam-do)
(We've come to provide Turkish treats)
How have you been?
- Are you pregnant? / - My grandmother.
Well done, well done.
Hello.
Hello.
She wanted to make coffee for you all.
She brought coffee from Turkey.
(Known to be quite strong)
Looks good.
I was worried because it's so strong.
(Adding sugar)
The ladies won't want it too bitter...
The ladies won't want it too bitter...
1, 2, 3 spoons.
They like that sweet coffee.
She made it the traditional way.
The kettle and cups are all from Turkey.
The kettle and cups are all from Turkey.
- It's a really thick coffee. / - Yes.
You can tell it's really thick.
It looks good.
It's really precious coffee. Try some.
(Careful takes a sip)
I can't drink this.
I was going to try some but...
It'd be really bitter.
- How is it? / - How is it really?
It's too bitter for me.
(Adding sugar)
(Adding more here)
(Time to show the truth of Turkish coffee)
If you do this
and wait 10 to 20 minutes.
This comes down?
There are people who tell fortunes.
That's fortune telling.
Fortune telling?
The leftover coffee flows down...
Because it all looks different.
(Flipping the cup over and waiting)
Like this.
- It's different for everyone. / - Really?
Do you see anything?
Whether it's a son or daughter?
Can you tell?
I can't tell my own fortune.
From what I see,
I see a big man here.
He looks a bit on the old side.
Like a grandfather.
I think you love your husband too much.
I see it here.
It's like she's fortune telling.
How do you speak so smoothly and so well.
She really speaks well.
(Nice one)
You must receive lots of love.
You live alone, right?
I can see that here.
(Works like a charm)
Tell me my fortune. When am I getting married?
(A few days later)
(Suncheon, Jeollanam-do)
(They came to see the baby)
It gets really nervous at the hospital.
(Waiting with mixed emotions)
Will Sarang show him or herself today?
You have to show us.
We went before and we couldn't see the baby.
(Sigh)
The fetus will start to have human features now.
(Nervous)
You must be really nervous.
(They're nervous about seeing their baby)
My stomach hurts.
Your stomach hurts?
From being nervous?
I think it's because I'm so concerned.
(They're hoping that the baby is fine)
Ceren.
It's finally time.
(It's finally their turn)
Come on in.
(Is it growing well?)
(The fetus is growing rapidly)
You can see it!
It's grown a lot.
You can see the spine.
(Teary)
You can see the ribs there.
You can see the fingers here.
That white part is the thumb.
You can even see the thumb!
(So moved)
Let's see the other hand moving.
It keeps moving.
(A big smile)
(Sarang is growing well)
You cry when you hear the heartbeat.
Right, Dongpil?
I was so happy then.
The doctor can see the sex, right?
He can but he won't tell us.
We're curious.
Should we prepare blue or pink?
That was a good question.
Dress it in pink and raise it like blue.
If he says it like that,
I think I can tell.
Do you guys want a son
or a daughter?
I just want a healthy baby but...
- Daughter's a better. / - Correct.
It'll have to grow a little more to be certain.
But from what I see, well...
Well.
If you wish earnestly, it might come true.
I think it's a daughter.
(Smiling)
I feel so happy right now.
Our baby is healthy.
I'm pleased to know that the baby is very healthy.
The doctor gave us hope.
Saying that if we wish earnestly, it'll come true.
Even now...
Even now...
My heart's beating so fast. I'm getting teary.
I'm so happy.
I didn't know before,
but we could see the spine and everything this time.
I felt so happy.
(She delivers the joyful news to someone)
You must be calling Turkey.
- My mom. / - Right.
That's when you miss your mom the most.
I hope you have a healthy baby.
We're earnestly praying for you.
Do you want to see?
Show me please.
I can't believe you have a daughter.
That's the head and the heart.
These are the legs.
I'm showing her the features.
She said it looks the same.
These are the legs.
It's so cute. Show me more.
Please come soon. I love you so much.
Always stay healthy.
Bye, mom.
She must miss you so much.
I miss her so much too.
You see women
who come with their mothers to the hospital.
But I have to go with my husband.
If my mom was here,
I could go with her too.
I think of my mom more now that I'm pregnant.
(A day of celebrations)
(It's always better to share good news)
Are you having a celebration with the family?
Ceren got her driver's license.
So let's celebrate.
It's a big achievement in Korea.
Good work, Ceren.
Congratulations.
Should we tell them?
You tell them.
We have something else to celebrate.
- What else is there? / - What is it?
We have a son. Not a daughter.
- It's a son? / - We have a son.
Sons are good too.
What does it matter if it's a son?
So long as the baby is healthy.
She looks disappointed.
No, it's actually a daughter!
My daughter is giving birth to a daughter!
It's not 100% certain yet.
It's likely to be a daughter.
(Be happy with the greatest gift in the world)
Your mother is so happy.
Ceren, you are amazing.
You studied all by yourself to get the license.
You take care of the house.
You study as well.
There's no choice. If I can't do it,
I can't live a happy life here.
I feel bad. I should help her out more.
But I'm busy earning money.
If she doesn't do it herself,
it's hard to adapt. So I feel bad.
Why don't you express yourself today?
- Dongpil. / - Hold her hand.
She came all the way from Turkey for love.
He's so romantic.
♪ Night ocean of Yeosu ♪
Once they have the baby,
we should visit again and see how they're doing.
We'll visit you again.
- Is that okay? / - Yes.
We hope you have a healthy baby.
And don't give up on your dreams in Korea.
And don't give up on your dreams in Korea.
We'll root for you.
Please tell us whether it's a son or daughter.
Please tell us.
Thank you for joining us today.
We'll end the show there.
- Good-bye. / - Good-bye.
