My health is failing.
I should go fishing and take it easy.
When I think about going fishing, I feel excited...
from the night before, the ways kids are.
That's why even those who gamble quit it when they learn to fish.
Really?
People have an instinct to hunt, so fishing is addictive too.
My younger brother has a problem...
with gambling.
Will you teach him how to fish if I bring him?
Sure. I could do that.
He's not the kind of guy who gives people a hard time.
He has a good personality.
It's just that he has no backbone.
I'm the type who gives people a hard time.
I wouldn't say that.
I think you can get by.
Get by?
It can take a while to get to know you.
But it's not easy to have your character.
What does your brother do?
His business didn't go well, so he works as a chauffeur.
He should come fishing to ease his frustrations...
and clear his mind.
I want him to come to his senses before I'm gone.
It's too early for you to say that.
A person...
must be healthy.
It makes you feel weak.
I feel hollow inside because I don't have a child.
Not all is good about having a child.
People who have children...
might say that.
Is that so?
Oh, right.
Didn't you say Young Shin was coming with you?
Young Shin is...
in a difficult situation.
What happened?
People are so bad.
She's been living a kind and pure life.
Why?
Did something happen to her?
Some have the idea that human nature is fundamentally good.
But I don't think I can believe that.
Why not?
That's the girl I was talking about.
- I can't believe it. What in the world? - She'd have to leave town.
Goodness.
Young Shin.
Yong Goo.
Are you going to the market?
Yes.
How could they do that after living like family?
That's so disgusting.
What are you talking about?
What does it matter to you?
You're looking at it from the wrong point of view.
If you have so little to do, then go inside and sell some blankets.
Do you even know what you're butting into?
In the old days, we would've dragged them around to shame them publicly.
Drag?
What's that?
Do you mean the strainer you use to wash rice?
What?
I'm not talking about washing rice.
Then do you mean the lucky bags we hang outside our houses in the new year?
No, I mean,
just understand what I mean.
So, what do you mean?
Why are you yelling?
If you talk badly about Young Shin,
I'm going to drag you through the streets.
What?
I never knew his eyes were so big.
He's so scary.
Let's go, Young Shin.
You should've just ignored them. Why did you do that?
Young Shin, I'm going to protect you.
Okay, take it all for five dollars.
I have nothing left.
Thank you.
By the way, Mang Soon,
did you hear about the man from the Diner and Young Shin?
What?
How could that happen?
It's disgusting.
Go buy from someone else. I'm not selling to you.
Why?
Do you think you can just wag your tongue about these young people's lives?
Wag my tongue?
You don't know what you're talking about, and you're ruining someone's life...
because it's fun to gossip.
Just because you can't strive for virtue, you spew slander from your trap?
Why are you so upset when it has nothing to do with you?
Do you think you're the only one who's selling vegetables?
Okay, I won't buy from you.
We're in trouble. Everyone in the market is mentioning it to me,
asking me if it's true.
What do we do?
My goodness.
What do we do?
I told you to be good and stay at home,
and you were sitting here spreading these rumors with your phone?
Do you really have nothing to do but ruin people's lives with these rumors?
I have no way to save my own life unless I ruin other people's lives.
Not just anybody but Young Shin and Gyung Soo's lives?
My boss ripped up the management agency contract and threw it in my face.
How could an ordinary girl like me become a star without my boss' help?
Who told you to be a star?
There are things people should and shouldn't do!
You couldn't raise your daughter to be better than this,
so what are you so proud of that you're looking at me like that?
What?
You should've raised me to be pretty like Young Shin.
You should've raised me to be successful like Young Shin too!
I'm trying everything in my power to keep all of this hatred inside,
so that I can make do with the life I have,
but what have you ever done for me to justify yelling at me like this?
So Jung, it's me.
Did you hear the rumor about Young Shin and Mr. Jung?
How in the world could they do that?
That's a new phone.
Oh Bok broke my last one, so I bought this one with my own money!
Who said you could break my phone?
Then,
do you want me to break you instead?
I don't like Young Shin.
I'm going to ruin her with my own hands.
Do you know what Mrs. Choi said to me?
Long story short, she doesn't treat me like a human!
It's all because of Kim Young Shin.
I'm going to make it so she can't show her face in this town.
I'm going to humiliate her so she can't show her face around here!
Did you just hit me?
Why do you think you can hit me?
Who do you think you are?
Se Jin, let's leave, okay?
I never even laid a finger on her,
but I...
with my own hand...
Please don't be so heartbroken.
This must feel so unfair,
but it's wiser to avoid these situations instead of confronting them.
Everyone will forget soon enough.
That's why I'm looking for a place for Young Shin to stay.
Still, it's going to take at least a month.
I have a lot of rooms at my house.
What?
I can take her in for the time being.
I'd feel bad knowing she has to live alone all of a sudden.
Still, that would be too much of a burden on you.
Nobody is at my house during the day except for the cleaning lady.
Tell her to stay with me until you find her a place to rent.
Then I'd have to tell her that you are the president.
It doesn't matter. She already stopped working at the restaurant.
But do you think Young Shin would want to stay in the same house as Mrs. Choi?
Why not?
Is there a conflict between my wife and Young Shin?
No, it's just...
Did Young Shin quit her job at the restaurant...
because something happened between her and with my wife?
No, it's not that.
Didn't she say she was tired and wanted to rest?
Of course.
Let's just have Da Jung get married.
I told you I wouldn't allow it with that family.
Why not? What's so bad about them?
If they find out Da Jung is like that, their family will run away.
I went home this afternoon and saw her in her room texting everyone.
About Young Shin and Gyung Soo?
And then she called someone right in front of me...
and made a fuss about how Young Shin could do that with Gyung Soo.
Are you serious?
Even though she's my daughter, I can't handle her.
That family is asking for this girl who's so crazy about becoming a star,
so why should we hesitate?
Still, that family's not an option.
Go see what she's doing before getting so high and mighty about our options.
I'm not being high and mighty.
Then I...
will just have to have her marry Oh Bok.
What?
Oh Bok is too good for her, even.
If Mang Soon had seen her scream at her mother with her eyes popping out,
Mang Soon would've been disgusted and said Oh Bok deserves better than her.
Mr. Lee!
Since you're here, you should come inside and eat.
How could I dare to sit at the table?
Mr. Lee.
I'll make it up to you for this until the day I die.
It's not Da Jung's fault.
You know whose fault it is.
Still,
Da Jung can't do that to you and Young Shin.
Did Mr. Lee just leave?
We've eaten enough, so let's go.
I'm trying to eat, but I don't have an appetite.
Okay, I'm done too.
I'm finished too.
Mr. Jung, I'm sorry. I couldn't finish it all.
What will you do without dinner?
No, I've eaten plenty.
Let's clean up and have some squid with a beer.
Should I make a sauce with some mayonnaise and soy sauce?
Don't I look cool grilling squid?
Of course, you look cool.
It's done. Let's go.
Young Shin.
You know Mr. Kang?
He's actually Mrs. Choi's husband.
Really?
I didn't know either, but I found out a while ago.
I see. I didn't have a clue.
I guess he didn't reveal himself in case Gyung Chul...
found him uncomfortable when fishing.
I never imagined that as he was good-natured like someone from town.
Isn't he a really nice guy the more you see him?
I agree.
Would you like to stay at his house for a while?
No way.
Then what about Mrs. Choi?
No matter how fast I try, it takes a month to find a room.
Stay there for the time being.
No, I'm not going anywhere.
I might miss you more if we're apart.
Where would I go without you?
Let's miss each other from afar.
If you want to see me, you can come anytime.
Why are you tearing up?
People are so strange.
They should just let us be.
I don't know what we did wrong for them to treat us harshly.
Young Shin.
Though it's bad for Young Shin,
those rumors will be fatal for you.
I can't say anything about it.
You have nothing to say about such rumors?
The person who made such rumors is my birth mother.
What do you mean?
The person who gave birth to me made such rumors.
What can I say even if they give me a bad name?
I heard that your parents all passed away.
My birth mother appeared later.
Is that so?
Why would she make such rumors?
I feel sorry for Young Shin.
Being the son of someone like her,
I feel like I'm nothing more than dust.
I don't care what people tell me as long as Mr. Jung is okay.
He's like the whole world to me.
I heard from Mr. Park...
about how you came to live with Gyung Soo.
Since you came to live with him in such a situation,
you might think that way.
I will just live with Mr. Jung.
He said, "Let's miss each other from afar."
Why should we do that? We're not a separated family.
But isn't it Gyung Soo that raised you?
It'll be okay as long as we're not in love.
We'll just look at each other.
We'll just talk to each other.
We don't need to be in love.
We can just live as we are now.
Gyung Soo needs to get married.
If he loves someone,
I think I will love her too.
What?
I'm him and he's me.
I only had him...
in this whole universe.
Then tell her this.
To be honest, my health isn't good.
What's wrong?
I plan to go to work only three or four times a week.
There's no one in the family who can stay with me because of work.
My housekeeper will be taking care of my meals.
Really?
So you're sending me to President Kang's house?
Can't you go for a while and take care of him?
If that's the reason, I'll think about it.
I strangely got attached to him.
He's really worried about you.
Hello.
I'm sorry to make you come to such a shabby place.
Please sit down.
Did you discuss it with your husband?
Yes, he liked the idea.
Really? I'm glad to hear that.
But I have one condition.
A condition?
I should tell you that we can't afford...
to buy furnishings fit for your family's standards.
There's no need.
I'm grateful that you're sending away the daughter you raised with effort.
We just need her.
I feel ashamed.
But we'll try our best to prepare as much as we can afford.
The furnishings are not the problem now.
Then what's the condition?
There's something her father can help with.
What can he do?
He knows...
about the relationship between Jung Gyung Soo and Mrs. Choi.
Is that so?
You know Mrs. Choi is my sister-in-law, right?
The condition is to reveal what the relationship is...
between those two.
Pardon?
Jun Young will be the heir when that's revealed.
What are you talking about?
I think Jung Gyung Soo is Mrs. Choi's son.
What?
In such a situation, Mrs. Choi is trying to adopt Jung Gyung Soo...
without her husband knowing.
How did that happen?
If a trustworthy person like your husband...
says he heard it directly from him,
the game is over.
Hold on a second. What is this all about?
Please tell your husband to just say this one thing.
Excuse me.
Why?
Are you really here because you want Da Jung as your daughter-in-law?
Of course!
Then you can just have her as your daughter-in-law.
Why are you bringing us into your complicated family matters?
If Jung Gyung Soo is adopted into the family,
Jun Young will just be a coffee shop worker...
with an ordinary degree, let alone the heir.
Is that so?
So we need to work together to make Jun Young the heir.
How would I be capable of doing that?
I said, your husband just needs to say one thing.
I don't think it'll end with him saying that.
What do you mean?
If this could be solved by the words of a stranger,
can't you say it as you're a family member?
They're turning a deaf ear to everything I say.
Really?
Then what about Jun Young's father?
It's not even worth trying.
The president doesn't even believe his own brother.
Would he believe what a stranger says?
Even though he is his younger brother, he didn't gain his trust.
No matter how unreliable he is, how can we do that...
when he doesn't believe what his brother says?
To be honest, my husband is on his bad side as he gambled.
What's that?
Now that I hear her, they're nothing but a worthless fool's gold.
And I thought this was her chance.
We have no time.
Thank you for thinking nicely of Da Jung,
but I don't think we're meant to be.
What has Ms. Lee got to play hard to get?
Though she may not have many things,
we'll send her to a family that fits our means.
It looks like you don't know much about your daughter.
Thanks to Young Shin, Lee Da Jung came to the restaurant...
and is now being used by different people.
I know what situation she is in.
How can you be conceited when you raised your child like that?
I'm just trying to find a way for us here.
We know better how foolish our daughter is, so please leave.
Everyone's so inflexible.
I'm holding it in because we discussed marriage for a moment,
so get out while I'm speaking nicely.
What has Lee Da Jung got to offer?
She's not well-educated, pretty, or comes from a good family.
She should be grateful to be paired with Jun Young.
It seems that marriage is not your objective.
Do you always look down on people with lower means?
When you look at the child, it shows what their parents are like.
When I look at the things Da Jung has been up to,
it's impossible to respect her parents.
She's better than the son of a gambler!
Successor?
Did you think that I'd fall for such a scam?
What did you say? A scam?
I have to do business here. Leave now.
So much for being the successor. Not in the least.
This would have caused big trouble.
(Mrs. Choi Sook Jung)
The number you have dialed is unavailable. You will be directed to voicemail.
Are you avoiding my calls on purpose?
I have nothing more to say to you.
Is Gyung Soo, the son of Choi Sook Jung?
What?
That's nonsense.
How could that be?
That doesn't make any sense.
I can see from the look on your face that he is that woman's son.
What?
The president goes into work three days a week,
so I'll have dinner at the Diner on those days.
I had no idea he had such high standing.
He's a nice man, so he will take good care of you.
I'm sorry, Young Shin.
It's because of Da Jung.
Why would you say that?
I don't know what to say when I should look out for you.
It's a phase, and it'll pass.
If we go through this, someday, it will seem like old times.
Young Shin. Be well and healthy there.
Of course. Stay healthy, Yong Goo.
Why does everyone keep leaving?
How will she get there?
He'll come to pick her up.
It's good to see you all.
Please take good care of Young Shin.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you who I was.
Not at all.
I'll go now.
I feel so bad to see you leave over this matter.
Goodbye, Young Shin.
I'm sorry.
I'll go now, Mr. Jung.
I'll be back.
I will see you next time.
I'll see you at the fishing place.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's...
miss each other from afar.
A caretaker is coming today?
Since he's not in good condition,
he'd need someone to care for his meals.
Both Min Gyung and I leave for work.
How does he know this person to let them into the house?
And they're going to be staying here.
He would've picked the right person.
They'll be here in ten minutes. That should be soon.
They must be here.
Aren't you Ms. Kim Young Shin?
Young Shin.
Why would Ms. Kim be here?
I'll be staying here for a while.
(A Good Supper)
It won't hurt us.
I'm speechless. It's like a bombshell.
Do you want to see her when she hurt you?
It must be because she's in difficult circumstances.
She's not a bad person.
I have big news. This is real.
What are you talking about?
You could've given me a call.
I don't think this is so bad.
Missing you and seeing you once in a while.
I did everything you ordered.
I didn't make you do anything.
Are you playing around with me?
