「Smooth Highkick!」The first episode.
Soon-jae’s family decides to get their family picture taken to celebrate Joon-ee’s
100th day since birth. But of course things don’t turn out smoothly as they wish!
Joon-ee pees on one of them, Soon-jae and Mun-hee fight over the passenger
seat, Joon-ee’s parents Min-yong and Shin Ji is occupied quarrelling over their
own matter, and Mun-hee and Hae-mi get sensitive over Joon-ha’s hair.

Goodness! After all this, the picture is finally taken.
However, Soon-jae is not happy about where the picture is hung… and Joon-ha
even loses money selling his stock, which adds on to Soon-jae’s grumpy mood.

In the meantime, Min-jeong is excited to begin her teaching career as her first day
begins at Poong-pa High School. But things turn out to be rough from the beginning
because of a pair of weird brothers in her class.

===ep. 2===
Lee Yoon-ho, who only cares about his looks, tries to look cool this time riding on a
borrowed motorcycle. Min-ho wants to tell mom about it, but decides not to since he’
s afraid of Yoon-ho’s high kick.

Meanwhile, Min-yong tries to sneak into the house to get a look at Joon-ee, but is
busted by Soon-jae and has to run for his life. Mun-hee, feeling bad for Min-yong,
tries to bring him some food from home, but her arm gets disjointed in the act.

Eventually, the guys end up having to take care of Joon-ee, since Mun-hee can’t
move her arm. But will they be able to handle Joon-ee without any trouble?

===ep. 3===
Again, Soon-jae dozes off since there are not enough patients to see.
This is because most of the patients prefer Hae-mi.
And to top it off, Soon-jae makes a huge mistake of misdiagnosing a patient’s
condition.
Will he be able to restore his fallen reputation?

Meanwhile, Min-jeong becomes neighbors with Min-yong!
However, weird things keep happening at her new place…

===ep. 4===
Disturbed by Hae-mi and disrespected by Soon-jae all the time… Mun-hee wouldn’t
have been able to stand it if it weren’t for Mrs. Kaesung-daek. How wonderful it
feels to Mun-hee after chatting with Mrs. Kaesung-daek about all the stress she
gets from her daughter-in-law and her husband… Until one day…

And the appearance of Yoo-mi! The true hottie of the century!
Finally, has the time come for Min-ho’s love life to begin to bloom?

===ep. 5===
Joon-ha always tells Hae-mi not to worry, that he can take care of things. However,
in reality, there isn’t actually anything he has gotten done right.
Mun-hee can’t stand how Joon-ha is driven by Hae-mi, so she decides to act on
her own to settle matters regarding Min-yong.

Meanwhile, Min-ho pays a visit to Yoo-mi worried that Yoo-mi might fall for Yoon-
ho. But when he gets there, Yoo-mi is nowhere to be found, and he comes to face
her eerie father instead.

===ep. 6===
Soon-jae is enraged with his sons and grandsons who always make trouble.
Min-yong sneaks into the house and tries living in the attic after letting Shin Ji have
the apartment, and Joon-ha makes another loss with his stocks.
That’s not all. Min-ho and Beom uses Soon-jae’s credit card to access a 19+
website, and Yoon-ho runs away after bumping into Soon-jae’s car with his
motorcycle.
Finally, the family members escape to the attic to get away from Soon-jae.
Will they be all right?

In the meantime, Shin Ji meets a handsome Russian guy practicing ballet in the next
classroom while she is studying at her music school in Moscow.

Mun-hee is so annoyed by Hae-mi who always acts like she knows best and tries
to lecture her. As Hae-mi makes her look bad even in front of her own friends, Mun-
hee whines about it to Soon-jae. But even Soon-jae says it is her fault and makes
Mun-hee cry.

Min-jeong decides to take firm measures against her students as they don’t take her
seriously. However, even as she raises her voice and uses physical punishment,
things just keep getting worse…

===ep. 8===
With the information that Bong-won Electronics stocks will fall sharply, Soon-jae
looks for Joon-ha to sell their shares, but Joon-ha is sitting on the toilet suffering
constipation... As Soon-jae takes the matter in his own hands, he rather ends up
buying 500 more shares of the stock.

Meanwhile, Min-yong gets Shin Ji’s Russia phone number from Min-jeong. As he
ponders whether he should call her or not, he walks into a restaurant and hears a
commercial song that reminds him of his memories with Shin Ji.

===ep. 9===
Hae-mi is always confident and the rest of the family members usually follow what
she says. But there is one family member who just can’t seem to agree with her, and
that’s Lee Min-yong! Min-yong ignores Hae-mi when she suggests the whole family
gather around to make dumplings together… and the heat is on between the two.

Min-ho is ecstatic about Yoo-mi’s invitation to her house to watch a DVD.
But for some reason, Beom tries to stop Min-ho from going to Yoo-mi’s house.

Mun-hee is surprised when Soon-jae tells her she has an upset stomach after
examining her, because she has never had an upset stomach before all her life.

a look at her son Joon-ee.

rescue the girls in there in time, becoming heroes at school. But as time goes by,
things don’t go as they expected.

The toilet in the bathroom of Soon-jae’s house is clogged. Surprisingly, the person
responsible for it is Hae-mi, who always seems so perfect. Mun-hee is unable to
control her laughs when she finds out about this and tries to tell all the other family
members about it.

===ep. 12===
Min-ho and Yoon-ho are brothers with nothing in common. Even after watching the
same movie, while Yoon-ho can only blurt out incoherent adjectives, Min-ho is able
to logically explain the story of the movie.

punishment, he is grounded and even banned from using his cell phone and
computer, so he turns to Min-ho for help.

jeong a favor to set him up to seem like he accidentally bumps into Shin Ji.

Mun-hee prepares eel for Min-yong, who seems to be exhausted lately. But
oblivious of her intentions, Joon-ha eats up all the eel and Mun-hee gets angry at
him. The two end up mad at each other and neither wants to apologize. It’s the rest
of the family that has to face the consequences.

matter to court.

Joon-ha follows her opinions, and Soon-jae keeps the new changed plans from
Mun-hee, so the trip becomes a disaster from the beginning.

Meanwhile, Min-jeong is annoyed by her ex-boyfriend Seong-ho, who keeps on

mi’s father frantically stops him.

===ep. 16===

down saying she’ll talk to her to leave Min-yong alone.

even kissed her.

new car if he loses weight. One day, Soon-jae and Hae-mi get into a small accident

cover for repair, but Hae-mi doesn’t think it’s a big deal and suggests they just let it
go.

Meanwhile, Min-yong is worried that Shin Ji is having a hard time finding herself a
job. Just around then, Min-yong’s school comes in need of a new alma mater song
and Min-yong casually recommends Shin Ji.

===ep. 18===
Soon-jae happens to have a chance to meet with his long-ago crush Kyeong-hwa.
He lies to Mun-hee that he’s just meeting some friends and leaves the house all
dressed up. But he is busted by Mun-hee on his way taking Kyeong-hwa home.

A rumor is spread around the school that Min-jeong is going out with Yoon-ho as
she rides Yoon-ho’s motorcycle with him one day to school. To top it off, another
rumor begins that Min-jeong is privately tutoring Min-ho as some kids spot Min-ho
going into Min-jeong’s house on his way to pick Joon-ee up.

they shouldn’t be selling off their share of stock. But Joon-ha firmly denies and tells

to make Soon-jae look bad in front of his family and nurses at the clinic.

Mun-hee becomes nervous as she hears her sister-in-law Kyeong-ae will be
coming to visit from Canada. She’s afraid Kyeong-ae might tell the story she doesn’t

powdered red pepper, he tries to make Joon-ha to taste it.

Meanwhile, Min-jeong thinks everything about Min-yong is so cool and handsome.

Yong-pil, and even his poor dancing skills appear to her like the moves of top
singer Seven. Such delusions only seem to get worse.

===ep. 25===
Min-ho and Yoon-ho nag Hae-mi for a new computer, but Hae-mi doesn’t listen at
all. But as Soon-jae naively pays $10 to the boys to get a song downloaded to his
phone, they get an idea to lure Soon-jae for the computer.

earlier. Mun-hee panics when she learns that Joon-ha watched a movie with Nurse
Yoo as she remembers an incident from the past.

Meanwhile, Yoo-mi is invited to a friend’s birthday party, but is told to bring her
boyfriend. Min-ho is delighted about the invitation, but Yoo-mi talks about how all

===ep. 31===
Excluding Min-yong who is sick at the moment, Soon-jae’s family, the clinic’s

place, he makes everyone clean the house when they try to play card games.

that it won’t be too long.

Meanwhile, Min-jeong is devastated as she believes Min-yong and Shin Ji are
about to get back together. Then, two of the students catch Min-jeong dreamingly
watching Min-yong and begin to tease her whether she likes him.

===ep. 35===
Overhearing Mun-hee complain about going to the market by bus in the cold
weather on the phone, Hae-mi tells Mun-hee to use her car. Mun-hee excitedly

of books on cars and says Mun-hee can’t use the car unless she passes a test.
