Ji-woo : 저… 혹시라도 제가 마음에 안 드는 부분이 있으시면...

If…there’s anything you don’t like about me… 

Hyun-ju’s mom : 무슨 소리 하세요!! 하나서부터 열까지 1,2,3,4 싹 다 맘에 드는데! 

걱정 하지 말아요.

내가 내 살과 뼈와 내 영혼까지 갈아서 두 사람 팍팍 밀어줄 테니까.

What are you talking about? I like you from head to toe. Don’t worry. 

I’ll do anything to make sure that you two end up as a couple. 

Ji-woo : 감사합니다. 그리고, 말씀 편하게 하세요. 어머님. 

Thank you. And please speak to me without any formalities, mother. 

Hyun-ju’s mom : 그럴까 황서방~? 호호호 

Should I? My future son-in-law? (laughs)
