You can stay in the guest room.
Thank you.
How did you first meet Ms. Kim?
I would go to the Diner when I went fishing.
That's why you knew so well about Ms. Kim's dishes.
It's nice to have someone that we're familiar with.
Say hello. Then you can unpack and get some rest.
I'll go in as I'm a bit tired.
Young Shin, how could you be so brave as to come into our house?
This is not a good place to be in.
Why would you say that? Of course, she can stay here.
Is anyone going to bite her?
Welcome, Ms. Kim.
Make yourself at home.
Thank you.
Follow me. I'll show you your room.
You could've discussed it with me.
Why?
Does it make you uncomfortable to live with Young Shin?
I wouldn't say that. But she's not just anyone.
You could've given me a heads-up.
Why did you keep it from me?
The decision was made in a rush.
It was urgent.
I hope this room is okay.
I like it.
Unpack and take some rest today.
Okay.
I'm speechless. It's like a bombshell.
Things are risky on many fronts.
She knows about the secrets of my life.
But now she's right under my nose.
I did not see this coming.
When I leave for work,
they'll be in the house all day, four days a week.
How will I work when it disturbs me?
I know.
It won't hurt us.
If she and Jun Young become closer, we'll be in for some luck.
Most of all, we'll be living with someone who has...
lots of dirt on Sook Jung. What could be bad about it?
Fate is kind to you.
What? He'll make Sook Jung take office as the president?
Fate won't let that happen.
This must be a sign from above.
Why would you say it's a sign?
How do you know who the sign is for?
What?
You can't be sure who'll be benefiting from this.
Think of her as a daughter and take good care of her.
She's here to care for you, not the other way around.
Your words sting.
I'm asking you to take care of a young lady in a difficult situation.
Why are you giving me the evil eye?
When did I do that?
You've been going to the Diner often...
to adopt Jung Gyung Soo as our son, so you would know about it.
Jung Gyung Soo raised Young Shin.
But Jung Gyung Soo's birth mother seems to have spread bad rumors.
His birth mother?
I couldn't ask him why this happened,
but how could she do that to her own son?
You've heard a lot.
We heard a lot about each other's lives...
and got attached as well.
When I heard that she was in a difficult situation,
I brought her as I felt for her.
Good thinking.
Why do you have that look on your face when you say that?
Do you want me to be delighted?
You're up early.
The housekeeper seasoned the namul muchim last night.
Do you usually keep them in the fridge?
Once namul goes in the fridge, it doesn't taste as good.
We can't season it every morning.
Both Sook Jung and I should go to work.
I'll do it.
Please tell the housekeeper to only help with the cleaning.
That's fine with me.
You'll be going through the trouble.
It's refreshing.
This is how a kong-namul-guk should be.
Ms. Kim made it.
Not many people can make it this good.
You're supposed to have kong-namul-guk like this in the morning...
to start the day.
We heard you.
The namul is great.
Did you season it today?
I seasoned it right before setting the table.
Namul tastes good when it's seasoned on the spot.
It finally feels like a proper morning meal.
I made side dishes that are low in cholesterol, salt,
and trans fat on this side for you.
I wanted the other family members to enjoy their food,
so I have other side dishes that have a stronger taste.
I feel like I'm in a lecture.
You don't have to make a meat dish for me.
I only pick up a few pieces when I don't have other options,
but I'm fine as long as I can try the side dishes.
While I'm here,
I'm not going to reuse the food that went into the fridge...
except for kimchi.
Thanks to you, all our family will live to be 100 years old.
Young Shin, you don't have to make anything for me.
Kong-namul-guk in the morning is all I need.
You know what they way. If a woman makes a good kong-namul-guk,
men will want to marry her even if she isn't pretty.
They must all be drinkers.
Give me a call if you need the ingredients for tomorrow morning.
I'll bring what I can when I get off work.
Thank you.
It feels different having someone new in the house.
What do you mean? It's not like she got married.
She can become a family even if she's not married.
Anyway, having a young lady in the house...
brightens things up, and it feels nice.
I have something to tell you.
I don't have anything to say.
Manager Seo told me that I should make a wise decision.
What do you mean by that?
Manager Seo came to see me as she was curious...
about what you ordered me to do.
What did I order you to do?
Pardon?
What did I make you do?
Mrs. Choi.
I didn't ask anything of you.
You told me to spread rumors about Young Shin.
When?
What rumors?
What's weird about those two people?
Mrs. Choi.
Did Manager Seo put you up to this?
Manager Seo uses the employees to slander me.
That's all she does.
It was the same with the fake anonymous letter.
Now no one will believe Manager Seo...
even if she said an obvious truth.
Ms. Lee, don't try to earn your success in this way...
but work your way through it.
This is why I can't trust you to the end.
You want to have things easy when you're still so young?
Mrs. Choi. How could you do this?
I did everything you ordered.
Kkomak bibimbap, galbi-jjim, as well as the recipe for anchovy stock.
I brought them all for you.
How could that be from you?
I developed them.
Sorry?
Do you have proof?
Or a witness?
You had no plans to make me a star chef.
I did.
But everyone's saying you are not marketable.
When they say you are not marketable,
how can I make you a star?
Were you playing around with me?
Listen to me, Ms. Lee.
Does it look like I have nothing better to do?
I thought about raising a star chef,
trending these days, to help with promoting our restaurant.
But I only gave up.
What's more to it?
You don't need me now.
Is that what you're saying?
I never...
needed you in the first place.
I can't believe what she said to you.
I can't take this.
I won't take it.
It's all over.
There's no more being a star.
That's not true.
No, it's not over.
No.
Let's go home, Da Jung.
It's because of Young Shin.
Let's get things straight. Why is it because of Young Shin?
If she had just developed a ppyeo haejangguk recipe,
I would've signed on with the management agency.
How can you still say that after seeing what that lady's doing?
She was never going to help you sign on with the management agency.
No, you're wrong!
She was.
It's because of Young Shin.
It's because of Young Shin!
You should have lunch.
Sit down.
Should we go fishing tomorrow?
We could have dinner at the Diner.
You must miss Gyung Soo.
Does Young Shin...
call or anything?
My goodness.
I think she's having fun over there. She hasn't called me.
Do you think she's worried she'll miss you too much if she hears your voice?
Have you heard from that woman?
No.
I'm sorry I brought it up.
No, it's fine.
I like talking about her.
- Do you? - Yes.
I want to sit someone down and talk about her,
but I pretend not to think about her because people might worry.
She put you through a hard time and left, but you still miss her?
Of course.
She was just in a bad situation. She's not a bad person.
Don't think of her as a bad person.
Okay.
Even when she walked with me downtown,
she was never embarrassed.
Why would she be embarrassed by you?
You know I look stupid even when I walk.
I look even more stupid when I eat.
Who said that?
My friends used to say that when I was a kid.
"You look stupid when you eat."
"Why do you do that with your mouth when you eat?"
But,
when she was eating at a restaurant with me,
she was never embarrassed.
Yong Goo.
You miss her.
She doesn't have to bring my money back.
I just want her to come so I can see her face.
You should eat with me.
I can eat later.
Are you uncomfortable around me?
It's not that.
Just sit down and eat with me.
It's weird if I eat alone.
Should I?
Do you want to go to the mall this afternoon?
Do you need to buy something?
No.
Don't young women like going to the mall?
I don't really like places like that.
You're just used to living frugally since you were a kid.
Young women should have things they want to buy.
I don't want to buy anything.
My wife will probably give you a paycheck out of gratitude,
but if you need anything, just tell me any time.
What do you mean by a paycheck? I'm the one indebted to you.
Just eat.
Okay, then I'll eat too.
Sure.
Even though I went to the Diner so much,
I don't think we've ever eaten together.
You're right.
It's nice to eat together, isn't it?
Yes.
Oh Bok said...
Choi Sook Jung is done with Da Jung.
I heard.
She just used her,
and made her make a fool of herself just for her to turn her back on her.
I wonder how she's feeling.
I'm sure she feels horrible.
She probably wants to hide in a hole.
It's not that she's embarrassed in front of everyone,
but she's embarrassed about herself.
This is the time we need to start doing our job as her parents.
Honey.
I'm honestly not sure I can do it.
Even so, you can't neglect your role.
If our child is being stoned, we should be stoned next to her too.
If everyone ridicules Da Jung,
we need to stay next to her and be ridiculed along with her.
She probably feels guilty and like she's less valuable than a bug.
Then we should be bugs with her too.
Whatever she becomes,
we need to stay with her until the end.
Why are you back already?
It's big news.
Big news?
This is the real deal.
What is?
I got called for a drive, and it was Jong Gwon's old friend,
but he also remembers Kim Ji Sun.
He even knows the high school she went to.
Really?
He was good friends with Jong Gwon.
The luck is on our side.
Yes, so give me some money.
Why do you need money all of a sudden?
I'm going to need money to hire a detective.
A detective?
Yes, the fastest way is to hire a detective.
Are you sure you're not just trying to get money from me?
Who do you think I am?
Okay, let's take it as far as we can.
But Jong Gwon said he's focusing on the business.
He'll change his mind if he sees her.
He even said he's putting work aside because of his health.
This is the best time to do it.
What did she look like? I'm sure she was pretty.
Honestly, she and Sook Jung are in completely different leagues.
She was the typical beauty pageant type.
That must be why he fell for her.
Her smile was like glowing sunshine.
She was so pretty.
Really?
Come in.
Come out and have some fruit.
We have tea time for a family meeting before bed.
President Kang wants you to join.
Okay.
Who's that?
My mother.
Really?
She was so beautiful.
You look just like her.
Really?
It's so fascinating how much children take after their parents.
You're pretty because you take after your mother.
Thank you.
Why did you call me in?
You...
Never mind. Just go.
How could you call me in just to send me away?
Just have a cup of tea.
You said it cost you money just to have a cup of tea.
I bet I spent more on the gas coming here.
I'll give you gas money. Just have some tea and go.
Why did you call me in?
I told you it's nothing.
You're here!
You should've called to say you're coming.
I wanted to surprise you.
It looks like you're doing well.
Is there something you want to eat?
Is feeding me the first thought you have when you see me?
Of course. What else would I do?
I don't know. What else would we do?
Why are you acting so cute all of a sudden?
It's been a long time since we've been together one on one.
Should we play rock, paper, scissors?
Tell me something, anything.
I thought it would be different, but it's a family home.
Of course.
President Kang is so nice to me.
I'm so grateful.
I don't think this is so bad.
What is?
Missing you and seeing you once in a while.
Did you miss me?
Can't you see my sore eyes?
It looks fine! It's not at all sore.
When do you think people miss someone more? At night or in the morning?
What are you going to say?
You think they'll miss them more at night, right?
But it wasn't.
When I wake up in the morning,
I think for a moment, "Why am I here?"
"Where is Mr. Jung?"
I miss you instantly that my bones would crumble.
Your bones would crumble?
You've put me in an awkward position.
That sounds too scary.
So you're saying you didn't miss me enough that your bones would crumble, right?
It wasn't that much.
Where did it ache, then?
I'm not sure. Did I miss you as much as to feel pain?
You didn't miss me much?
I missed you!
You don't look like you missed me much.
You only thought of me in the morning, right?
I only thought of you, day in, day out!
Really? Great! I'm satisfied with that.
Thank you for being well.
Wouldn't I live well wherever I go?
That's true!
The entire family must have brightened up!
You were born with bright energy.
Great! Please carry on.
Geez. Hurry up and eat! Eat up!
We came in a hurry as he said you came.
Se Jin, I missed you.
We missed you too.
How come you never called?
You should've called.
Were you waiting to see if I would call?
You should've made something delicious as Young Shin is here.
The house is full of delicious food.
That doesn't matter. You're still a live-in worker.
What's living in?
You work and live in someone else's house.
Without being paid?
You get paid.
That's why girls from poor families used to live like that.
Why would I be living in?
I eat meals with the family.
I eat lunch with President Kang.
What a generous person.
He looked like he has a good character.
We sent her off because of that. Otherwise, we wouldn't have.
Young Shin. You still like home, right?
Of course.
I just want to stay the night.
You want to stay the night?
You'd want to be home.
I'm ashamed to think that it's because of Da Jung.
It's not!
You should go even though it's late.
Shall I take you?
Right. You should take her.
Forget it. It'll get stressful if the family sees you.
I feel much better at home.
The food is much more delicious!
Eat up.
- Jong Woo. - Yes?
Let me talk to you for a bit.
Right now?
Yes.
No, forget it. You may leave.
What's wrong with you?
Are you teasing me?
It's okay, so just leave.
What do you have to say?
I have nothing to say.
It's obvious that you do!
I don't.
Hey.
I'll give you money, so go buy something.
You wanted me to run an errand?
Go...
and buy an outfit young ladies want to wear.
- What? - Didn't you hear me?
How on earth can I buy an outfit that young ladies want to wear?
You can take Jun Young with you.
Didn't he like buying clothes for ladies?
His card statement only had items from luxury shops.
Who is going to wear it?
Who do you think it is?
Isn't there only one young lady in the house?
Really?
He hesitated a few times whether to tell me for the past couple of days,
but did it with a look of embarrassment.
You should've seen his face.
He really adores Young Shin.
Even more so because there's no daughter in the family.
See? We should've taken her as our daughter-in-law!
Then Jun Young wouldn't have been pushed back like now.
I suppose so.
What soup shall I make tomorrow morning?
I brought some good flounder from the restaurant,
so make dodari ssukguk.
Dodari ssukguk is great! Sounds delicious!
Try it on. Uncle Jong Gwon bought it.
Why would you...
You're going through trouble because of me.
It will fit you.
I know what size girls wear just by seeing them.
You want me to wear this?
Try it on. Girls die to wear that.
Where would I go wearing this?
You don't know. Maybe Uncle Jong Gwon will take you to a party.
A party?
Try it on, Ms. Kim. Shall I help you?
This never happened as we don't have a daughter in the family.
I feel excited and happy.
Since you bought it, I'll try it on.
My goodness.
Wow! She's like Miss Korea!
Round of applause! Bravo!
You're beautiful.
That's why there's an age when you look beautiful in certain clothes.
You're really pretty!
You sure are pretty.
It was a great choice, right?
No one can pull that off.
Wow. So lovely.
Oh, right! My phone!
I need to take a picture!
- Wait a minute. - Look here.
- You're so pretty! - Smile!
She suits that color.
Jong Gwon, move out of the way.
- Take a picture with him. Look here. - Right.
In 1, 2, 3! Beautiful.
Come in.
- I wanted to ask you something. - What is it?
How long will you stay in this house?
At first, I was going to leave when I find a room.
But I think I should stay until President Kang asks me to.
That's not good!
Can't I?
Leave as soon as you find a room. I feel too anxious.
Are you worried that I might run my mouth carelessly?
Anyway, leave when you find a room.
Who's that in the picture?
She's my mother.
(A Good Supper)
- I would have liked a daughter. - A daughter?
Doesn't she look like Jun Young somehow?
Why would she look like Jun Young?
I guess it is nonsense.
It's unbelievable that Young Shin is Uncle Jong Gwon's daughter,
but how did you know that?
Shall we set a time to think about each other?
Are you over her?
Can a man whine?
Do you think you only need to keep me quiet?
Whose son? I told you, it's not.
Da Jung will hear us.
