(Episode 38)
In order to release the beef hot pot as a ready-made food,
we'll have to ask Kim Young Shin for permission.
Why should we ask her for her permission?
Isn't she the owner of the beef hot pot recipe?
We can use what I developed for the release.
We need to show the right developer...
so the other employees will be eager to redevelop other recipes.
I told you, you don't need to worry about that.
I'm going to care about it.
Sook Jung can make it taste the same,
but Kim Young Shin is the one who created the recipe.
Then I'll ask Kim Young Shin.
Why did you suddenly take Young Shin's side?
Because I need to get Mrs. Choi Sook Jung out of my way first.
You even said you don't want Young Shin to stay here forever.
Now that I'm adopting her, would you rather have her marry your son?
I don't have a preference.
The president wants to sell the beef hot pot as a ready-made food.
It'll be fine if we credit me as the developer, right?
- What? - We're mother and daughter now,
so what's the big deal?
Those are unrelated matters.
Unrelated?
I don't exactly want to contribute by selling it as a ready-made food,
but if it's released, the dish belongs to me.
Then why are you trying to become my daughter?
Like you said, I want to bring lots of money to Mr. Jung.
Then you need to help me to the end.
Help you to the end?
It's not like our family is a wealthy chaebol family,
but there are veiled feuds.
Isn't it better for you that I stick around?
So, until you win the veiled feud,
what are you expecting from me?
You need to help me with all your heart.
What happens if I don't help you?
Will I be disowned?
- Young Shin. - Why are you calling me that?
We're going to be mother and daughter now.
Of course, I'll call you Young Shin. What else should I call you?
We aren't yet.
I'm helping you get an enormous amount of wealth.
You should repay me.
Nothing in the world is free.
Do I have to help you to repay you?
Of course.
Would you rather help Seo Min Gyung?
How long do I have to help you?
At least until I retire.
Are you asking me to give you credit...
for all my recipes until you retire?
Do you know how wealthy our family is?
My recipes aren't just mine.
Mr. Jung's grandmother passed them down to him,
and I inherited them.
I can't just give them to you.
So, are you saying you don't want to be adopted into our family?
If that's what it'll mean, I have to reconsider.
Are you trying to fight with me before I even adopt you?
We aren't mother and daughter yet.
By adopting me, she wants me to release your family recipes...
as her property.
Then she'll toss me the inheritance I can't even take when she dies.
Why, does it not add up?
Are you talking about things adding up?
You clearly said you'd help Young Shin grow into her potential!
That is helping her grow. What else did you expect?
You'll just torture her for life and give her money you didn't earn!
What does it matter who earned the inheritance?
Does the money have names written on it?
What will you or she have to lose?
Please release her recipes under her name.
I can't do that.
You can't?
I don't need a daughter like that.
So that was your objective all along.
Young Shin told me...
that you think the universe revolves around you.
Can't it?
Forget the adoption.
Isn't she working as a chef to make money?
You can't move people with your food thanks to that attitude.
You're no expert chef.
You're hardly a third-rate cook.
What?
A third-rate cook?
It was my mistake ever talking to you.
They're so immature.
Money isn't the only thing that matters in the world.
Then what's more important?
You've already succeeded quite well,
and you have enough money to spend until you pass away.
Why are you obsessed with the idea of inheriting a master's skills?
Don't you know?
Now that I have money, I want honor as well.
Why do those peasants want honor so badly?
That's more ridiculous!
No matter how much money you have, nobody has six meals a day.
Whose side are you on anyway?
If you're too greedy, destiny won't be kind to you.
Do you believe in destiny?
I believe in myself. Why?
You said you were divorced, right?
Yes, I am.
I can't imagine how hard it must have been to decide that.
I never thought I'd hear the word divorce again in my life.
I thought it wouldn't happen to me.
In most cases, it's better in the end to endure it.
I got married at a very late age.
That's why I don't have any children.
I see.
I still don't act my age.
I can't really stand things I don't like.
It's one thing if you'd never met.
Since you did get married,
it's best to endure it and let it go.
Is that true?
Divorce is a lot more complicated than it looks too.
You can get a clean break sometimes,
but there are certain things that don't end with divorce.
Thank you for your advice.
What do you want to say?
I'll ask you one last time.
One last time?
Is it true that you found the secret to the beef hot pot yourself?
Of course. Who would teach me?
Are you sure you didn't blackmail Kim Young Shin for the recipe?
It's Min Gyung, isn't it?
Did she plant that in your head?
Is it not true?
Of course, it's not true.
That girl Kim Young Shin isn't weak enough to cave to blackmail.
You'll know if you meet her.
Are you trying not to give me a chance to forgive you?
A chance to forgive?
Do you have Da Jung's contact information?
It's at work.
Min Gyung, what are you doing?
I'm brewing coffee.
Min Gyung, did you hear anything from Da Jung?
Sook Jung,
your face looks just like an old cat's.
What?
The way you're talking like you're a sly cat sneaking around humans...
is just like a weak, old cat.
If Da Jung comes to you and says nonsense, don't believe it.
Isn't that up to me?
Young Shin said...
that she's jealous of her and her actions can't be predicted.
I don't think that's true.
Did you hear something?
No.
I didn't hear anything.
Why?
This is why they say you have to catch people from behind.
You can't give them a chance to escape.
What are you doing there?
Crouched alone in the brook's rapids,
with bunches of green grass sprouting out,
and the residual water rummaging in the spring breeze.
Even as you went you tried not to really go
I assume you made a promise
Okay.
It's better than getting menopausal depression.
How could...
Jung Hoon's mother go peacefully when she's so sorry for him?
Are you asleep?
I can't fall asleep yet.
I guess you can sleep.
You?
Every day you came out of the brook's rapids
What were you thinking about so endlessly
Even as you went you tried not to really go
You were asking me not to forget you
I can't believe you.
You won't let me sleep.
Let's go together.
It'll be more awkward if we go together without talking.
Do we have to talk?
I just want to go together.
It's uncomfortable for me.
Da Jung, I don't want things to be awkward with us.
Let's go to work separately starting tomorrow.
I told Jung Hoon...
to tell his girlfriend about his sick mom.
I thought about it, and you were right.
I want you to tell me the truth.
Yes, ma'am.
Did you tell anyone that I'd help you...
if you helped me get Young Shin's recipe?
I told Manager Seo Min Gyung.
You said you wouldn't tell anyone.
You were the one who broke the promise first.
You used me as bait to steal the recipe.
You told me you didn't hear anything from Da Jung.
You lie every time you open your mouth.
Can't I lie a little too?
What?
So, did you already tell my husband?
I'm sorry.
I can't believe this.
Tell Young Shin to come to me.
You seem quite busy all of a sudden.
Just go to the kitchen and tell Young Shin to see me!
This will be the end for you.
Where are you going?
I'm going to town.
Why would you leave like that?
You seemed to be uncomfortable.
Did you go see your mom?
Don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it.
What's the occasion?
You're treating me to a meal.
This place has good food.
It's not the time for dinner.
What can I do when I got off work late?
You should have a drink.
Why don't you take a rest when it's late?
I can't...
just go home today.
You could've had a drink with Young Shin and gone home.
Oh Bok.
Things are not good between Young Shin and me.
What happened?
Is it because of Jung Hoon?
Jung Hoon's mom is sick.
You heard, right?
Young Shin tried to comfort Jung Hoon.
I can get my head around it,
but I feel sad.
Why would you be?
It seems like...
they'll get back together.
How could that be when he's dating a girl?
He whined to Young Shin when he's dating someone.
That makes me more upset.
What?
I don't like what I'm feeling either.
What does it matter who he goes out with when it's over between us,
but somehow,
I feel bad.
I understand.
I get what you're saying.
You're the one who needs a drink.
I'll take you home.
What is this?
What's wrong with her?
I'm sorry.
She can't hold her liquor,
so she got drunk before she knew it.
Hold on.
Be careful.
There you go.
Thank you.
I'm sorry about this.
No, I'm sorry about today.
I'll be careful next time.
Did she have a drink?
She's doing this in case my life becomes any happier.
I'm so depressed.
You should lay her on the bed.
You do it.
I'm getting a fever.
It must be because of menopause.
Thanks a lot.
I'll get it delivered soon.
What are you looking at?
You'll sink into the ground.
Why are you bent over all day?
What are you looking at?
I want to buy hairpins...
for Young Shin and Da Jung.
Is that why you were glancing?
Then go buy them.
Are you crazy, Mom?
How could I go there?
Why not? You can walk over there.
Go buy them.
I can't do that.
Go buy them already and go for your delivery.
You should go on the delivery.
What?
Stop with your nonsense and go already.
Why are you screaming at me when I have menopause?
You think menopause is a disease that you catch?
I could tell from Se Jin...
that it is.
Why would you have menopause?
Go on your delivery already.
Yong Goo, what kind of girl do you like?
A good-hearted woman.
As long as she is kind, is it okay...
even if she has a broad face?
What do you mean by a broad face?
Someone who looks like you.
What?
Yong Goo, but wouldn't you like her...
to be pretty too?
That's true.
You don't know he has high standards.
Does Yong Goo have high standards?
That's right. While watching dramas,
he would say: "That girl will be a star."
And they really become stars.
Really?
Being pretty is not everything.
Being pretty is nice. What else is there?
They should be pretty and smart too.
I'd like it if a girl is pretty and smart.
You would be,
although I'm not sure if such a girl would like you.
You're right about that.
I hope you'll get married soon, Yong Goo.
Why?
You look too lonely.
People are lonely beings.
Should I go by a pond?
Who knows?
There might be a dress the fairy forgot to take.
Are you going to hide it then?
Of course.
If she's a fairy, she'd be stunning.
Have you ever heard of a fairy who's ugly?
You can't go see a fairy.
You can get divorced later.
Right. You shouldn't.
It'd be trouble if you become a chicken.
You don't actually believe he'll become a chicken, right?
Hey, do you...
take me for a kindergartner?
Even kids in kindergarten won't believe that.
Then you think I'll become a chicken?
No way. You can't become a chicken.
You should become a duck and go:
"Quack quack" and wait for the fairy to come back again.
A duck?
Become a duck and wait for the fairy?
Yes.
All right. It's a duck.
Quack quack.
When will you go see your mom?
I can't be sure what I'll say when I see her.
It'd be weird if I stay silent when I meet her.
You'll have things to say when you see her.
Do you want me to hurry over there?
Do as your heart tells you.
That's the kind of thing you do, as your heart tells you.
Even though she is ill, you can't force yourself to talk.
Go when you miss her.
Do you feel sorry for Mom?
I'm not sure if it's a pity or something else.
I don't really know.
It makes me think why she had to hurt you...
when she doesn't have a long life ahead of her.
Se Jin was worried that Da Jung came home drunk.
Things became sour between Da Jung and me because of Jung Hoon.
You must be in a tight spot.
A wound is a scary thing.
The good times I had with Da Jung these past three years...
vanished into thin air after Jung Hoon came back.
You said Jung Hoon was seeing someone.
He can't even tell her his mom is sick. They won't last too long.
Really?
He said he didn't care if he broke up or stayed with her.
How can a relationship be like that?
Did Jung Hoon say that?
He grew a habit from when he was a kid...
of telling depressing things only to me.
The recipe for the beef hot pot that you gave me.
Did you tell anyone about it?
No, not yet.
You shouldn't speak of it until the end.
What would happen if I did?
Da Jung that you cherish will be shattered.
You already did that to Da Jung.
How could you call someone an appendix?
To makes things clear, you are her appendix.
What?
From what I see, you are the appendix, not her.
Weren't you brainwashed as a kid that you should humor her?
What did you say?
You could've been abandoned and ended up on the streets.
I can make you Cinderella. Why are you playing hard to get?
What's so great about you to act all high and mighty?
It's not because I'm great.
Even if I'm strapped for cash,
I don't want to be adopted by someone like you.
By someone...
like me?
What's so different about us?
Didn't we both ruin a man's life?
Mr. Jung's life is not over.
That's how it will end.
It'll end looking after you.
You can be so cunning.
With that pure face of yours,
you bound down the life of a young man.
I'd excuse myself if you said everything you have to.
You're the daughter of a single mother.
If she wasn't a cunning and impudent woman,
would she have given birth to a girl without a father to call?
It runs in your family to ruin a man's life.
I told Mrs. Choi...
the recipe for beef hot pot.
If I didn't, she said she'd harass my innocent friend Da Jung...
and fire her.
Right? So that's what happened.
She's done. It's all over now.
Geez.
Even my heart is pounding.
I told Mrs. Choi...
the recipe for beef hot pot.
If I didn't, she said she'd harass my innocent friend Da Jung...
and fire her.
How could you lie with everything you say?
And at your age?
I'm sorry but prepare the documents.
What do you mean?
We should end things here between you and me.
Are you asking for a divorce?
I could never live with someone like you!
(A Good Supper)
It's just that I feel uneasy as you're acting up.
Shut your mouth.
All I said was we both ruined the life of a man.
You think that's not true?
What do you mean like an old couple?
Even if you fight, you're back to how things were...
without having to make up.
Do you still feel uneasy about me?
Whether you'll have an affair or get married, do whatever.
I'm not going to budge from here.
You're going to regret it if they kick me out.
