It's me.
What? The airport?
Why didn't you tell me before?
I would've picked you up.
Okay. See you soon.
Who is it?
Tae Yang. He just landed.
Tae Yang's here?
Where to?
- Myeongdong, please. - Okay.
I would've gotten dolled up if I had known.
He never gives people any warning.
He left without a word, and is back without a word.
Anyway, what do I do about my messy hair?
Tae Yang's back?
That's right. He's on his way from the airport.
Is he here to visit or is he back for good?
Well, seeing as he bought a house,
he must be back for good.
He bought a place?
That's right. I heard from Mr. Jung.
Where?
I don't know.
Ask him yourself when he gets here.
Anyway, I need to marry him off first.
Of course.
You should marry him off first.
That's right. But he won't be able to do it himself,
so I need to look for a wife for him.
You? Why?
Then who else?
Who else does he have?
Me. I'll do it.
What?
I have someone for Tae Yang,
so don't waste your time.
Got that?
Someone must be moving in.
I wonder what they do for a living.
KDB said they'd sell Yangji Construction.
What should we do?
What else?
We have to acquire it, of course.
That's right. The problem is...
getting the funds for the acquisition.
Sure, the group's finances improved over the past few years,
but Yangji Construction's M and A is such a big deal,
we'll be taking on a huge risk.
I've said this over and over again.
That before I die,
I will get Construction back.
I refuse to go into my casket...
until I get Construction back.
Do whatever it takes...
to get it back.
I'm against it.
What?
The surviving subsidiaries sacrificed and gave their all...
to finally stabilize the group.
But to acquire Construction, which has more assets...
than the group as a whole?
I understand how you feel,
but it's unreasonable right now.
I agree with Mother.
Rather than overextend ourselves to expand,
I think we should strengthen what we have for the time being.
I know that it's thanks to the two of you...
running Produce so well,
that the group was able to become this stable.
What we have is important, yes it is.
However, this is the time...
to take a leap again.
Kwang Il, what do you think?
Construction is the root of our group.
I always thought we must get it back.
I agree.
Thinking of the group's future,
it's my view that we must acquire it...
even if we overextend ourselves right now.
Jump into the ring to acquire it.
Yes, sir.
Kwang Il,
you take charge of this matter.
Me?
That's right. You promised me...
that you'd bring Construction back before I die.
Put everything you have on the line and get it done.
Father, but...
I should pass the group to Kwang Il now.
This will be a great stage...
to show the world...
Kwang Il's abilities...
as the successor to the group.
You can do it.
Yes. I'll give everything I have to get it done.
Hi.
What's going on?
Were you talking about something I can't know about?
Why did you suddenly clam up as soon as I came in?
It's not like that.
Why did you come back?
Did you forget something?
No, no.
Someone's finally moving into the house next door.
The cleaning company is cleaning it now.
Is that what you came to say?
Yes. I thought you'd be curious.
You worked super hard to buy that house...
but someone else snatched it away at the last minute,
so you were really upset.
Really?
You didn't know?
No.
Why did you want to buy the house next door?
Actually, I had wanted to get it for a while...
for you kids to move into.
I told the owners to make sure to sell it to us,
but they sold it to someone else.
We're okay. Don't worry about it.
It's not okay just because you guys say it's okay.
What do you mean?
Their plot is supposed to be more blessed than this one.
You should consolidate and tear down the wall to be the absolute best.
Your grandfather knew that...
and has been eyeing it for years.
But the next door neighbor found out...
and sold it to someone else on purpose.
They didn't want to see our family do well.
Why did you have to say that? You knew it would upset him.
They should know.
Who's moving in next door? Who's our new neighbor?
You're curious, right? Should I find out?
May I help you?
It's me, Oh Tae Yang.
How have you been?
Who? Oh Tae Yang?
Yes.
That's right! It is you, Tae Yang.
It's great to see you.
How long has it been?
Have a seat. Sit.
My gosh.
So...
Why did you change so much?
I wouldn't have recognized you if you didn't say it was you.
You haven't changed a bit.
Really?
Hold on. What about the scar on your forehead?
I had it removed.
Mr. Jung insisted I get rid of it.
That's why you look so different.
Probably.
You're so handsome.
That wretched scar was holding you back.
I'm glad you had it removed. It looks good.
So? You're back for good, right?
Yes.
You refused all those times I begged you to come back.
What brought you back?
I'm sure you didn't come back for no reason.
You're right. I came to do something.
You look terrible.
Go to the salon.
The salon? What for? I'm not going on a date.
You need to win Tae Yang over, you frustrating fool.
It's not like I can win him over just because I want to.
Still, win him over.
Throw a net around him so he can't swim away.
Leave me alone. I'll take care of it.
You say you'll take care of it, but you show up looking like this?
Then what? Should I put on a wedding dress or something?
You brat.
I may look this way, but I've got it going on.
Don't look down on me. I'm a hot commodity.
Fine, Stay a hot commodity for the rest of your life...
and stay unsold until you're no longer hot.
- Mom! - What?
Gosh. Why are you yelling again?
How have you been?
Look who's here?
He's unrecognizable, right?
He's a completely different person.
You're right.
How have you been?
I've been okay.
You must be hungry.
I made you my specialty dishes.
You didn't have to.
Thank you.
This is nothing between us.
Don't feel bad, and consider this your home.
Come by whenever you want to eat, okay?
Okay.
That witch is determined.
- Tae Yang. - Hey, you're here.
Now that everyone's here, let's eat.
- Please sit. - Sure.
- Duk Shil, bring that. - Sit.
Bring utensils. Sit down.
Why this house, of all houses?
I just like it.
I felt like it was mine from the moment I saw it.
That's why I want to buy it.
Someone else has been after this house for many years.
Really?
Oh no.
I need to have this house.
What do you think? Is this land blessed?
It couldn't be more blessed.
Chairman Jang's plot next door is good too,
but this one is much better.
It's one of the absolute best in all of Seoul.
All the more reason to make it mine.
At all costs.
What are you doing?
What are these coins?
Great-grandpa gave them to me.
He did?
Yes. And he gave me an assignment.
Take this.
Are you giving this to me?
That's right.
But you must solve the problem I give you.
If you don't,
you can't keep this money.
I got it.
Tell me.
It's a total of 98 dollars and 93 cents.
I'm right, right?
This money is mine now.
You're wrong.
That can't be.
I counted it three times.
Regardless, you got it wrong.
So you can't keep this money.
I counted it over and over, and it's 98 dollars and 93 cents.
So why does he keep saying I'm wrong?
I'm sure you wouldn't have counted it wrong.
Exactly.
Why don't you ask him for the answer?
- No. - No?
No. Then I have to forfeit this money.
I'm going to find out the answer...
and get this money.
Okay, then find the answer. Good luck.
What are you doing?
You like being alone so much.
Why did you come out? I would've come in soon.
I wanted to get some air too.
I wonder what he's like.
Who?
Our new neighbor.
It's annoying when I think about it.
I feel like he took away my house.
We weren't meant to have that house, that's all.
Mr. Jung said...
we must tear down the walls and combine our plots...
for our family to become more successful.
Imagine how upset Grandfather must be.
Anyway, honey.
Yes?
Yangji Construction.
I really don't think it's reasonable right now.
That's done with.
Once Grandfather makes a decision, we have to follow it.
That's why you should persuade him.
No. I'm going to get Yangji Construction back myself.
I'm going to get it and give it to Grandfather.
That house, too.
We lost it this time,
but I'll make it mine one day.
Hello, Mr. Jung.
You moved in today?
So? Do you like it?
Yes, I like it very much.
I'm glad.
It's your first night in your new house, so have a good dream.
There is one thing that it's lacking.
What?
It's too small.
It's too small?
You live alone, but that big house is too small?
Yes.
So...
I plan to expand it.
Are you thinking of moving already?
No.
I got one of the most blessed plots in all of Seoul.
Why would I move?
Then?
I'll just buy the house next door.
That's how I'll expand my house.
What's wrong?
I can't tell what he's thinking.
What did he say?
Why did he say he returned to Korea?
To do something.
What does he need to do?
I'm sure he's here to make money.
All he thinks about is making money.
Anyway, what was that about?
The house is too small?
That's what I wonder as well.
You're going to acquire Yangji Construction?
Yes.
We're preparing our application.
How will you obtain such a large sum of money?
We'll have to find a way.
The future of the group is on the line.
It would be nice if you'd help us.
What could we possibly do?
If Daesong were to help...
Not that.
We can't burden our in-law's business.
We'll think about it.
Honey.
You're looking for a financial investor, correct?
I'll talk to my father.
Thanks.
I've been blessed...
with great granddaughters-in-law.
Then you should give her something.
You even looked into a house for Kwang Il.
How are you so apathetic toward our kids?
I can handle you treating me that way,
but don't do that to our kids.
I'm fine.
It's not like I don't have a house.
I'm not the same as Shi Wol...
who has nothing.
I'll help as much as I can.
Good luck, Kwang Il.
Okay. I'd be grateful if you would.
Is it because of Ji Eun?
You know she talks without thinking.
Don't mind her.
I don't want to.
I don't want to mind her,
but she keeps trying to upset me.
Sorry.
Why are you sorry?
What? Regardless.
I told her several times not to do that to you,
but she just won't listen.
I kept it in for the sake of the elders,
but I won't take it anymore.
Yes, don't take it.
If she acts out again, you should just pummel her.
Who does she think she is?
Do well.
Okay. What?
Yangji Construction's M and A.
I'm still against it, but it's out of my hands.
Since we're doing it anyway, do your best and make it happen.
I swear I won't disappoint you this time.
I'll do well.
Okay.
Don't disappoint me this time,
okay?
Yes, ma'am.
- What's wrong with you? - What did I do?
Why are you helping Kwang Il?
Who's helping him?
You just said you wanted to help him!
You're so naive.
Did you actually believe that?
Did you forget why I married you?
So?
What will you do?
If you're curious, watch what I do.
Who is that?
Hello.
I just moved in next door.
Hello.
I was wondering who moved in.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
Thank you.
Do you live here?
No, no. We live down the hill.
My grandfather lives here.
I see.
I'm sorry for the nuisance during my renovation for the past few months.
It must have been uncomfortable.
Of course.
The dust and noise.
It was so stressful.
I'm sorry.
Is that it?
May I invite you over for dinner...
to make it up to you sometime?
No, no. There's no need.
Okay.
Hey, Ji Eun.
We should be friendly with our neighbors.
Yes, of course.
I'll see you again.
He's hot.
I wonder what he does.
What an incredible neighborhood.
Duk Shil should live in an area like this.
Excuse me. Do you know where this is?
Go down this street. It's the next house.
I see. Thank you.
She is just exuding grace and dignity.
If I lived in a place like this,
would I have ended up like that?
Come in.
Was it hard to find?
Not at all. It was simple.
Here's wishing everything goes smoothly.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
- What? - You made it.
You said you had plans.
My plans suddenly fell through.
I just got here myself.
Sit down.
Give me a minute. I'll bring some drinks.
You should've given me a ride.
Meanie. How could you come alone?
I had to take the subway and a town bus to get here.
Gosh.
You said it wasn't hard at all.
Then what? Should I have said I almost died coming here?
Okay.
I'll give you a ride back though.
Forget it.
Okay, if you don't want.
Here. Please drink this first.
What a nice house. It's nice and big.
But isn't it too big for a man to live in alone?
Why are you worried?
He says it's too small, so he's going to expand.
What?
Later. I'm going to later on.
Okay.
A man should think big.
You should know how to spend money as well.
You don't want to be like some miser...
who only makes money but doesn't know how to spend it.
Don't turn into one of those, okay?
- What... - Okay.
Why you little... So?
What are you getting at?
That this house is too big for a young man to live in alone.
I agree.
So I was thinking.
Yes? Go on.
Mr. Hwang, why don't you live here with me?
What?
Me?
You want to live here with him?
Yes. He's getting older now.
It worries me that he lives alone.
Let's do that.
Why would I?
I have my own house.
Why would I live in yours?
That's right.
Why should you take care of an old man? You're not his son.
You should live with a young woman like Duk Shil.
What are you talking about?
I'll go prepare the food.
I'll let you talk.
Okay.
What was that about?
Forget it. Go help Tae Yang prepare the food.
Okay.
Gosh.
Give it a rest.
You're so transparent.
Who cares?
Duk Shil's fate is on the line.
Don't even think about moving in here.
Duk Shil is going to live here.
My gosh. Yes, Your Highness.
When did you make all of this?
You didn't make it, did you?
I did.
Really?
I've lived alone for years. This is nothing.
Where's Ki Joon?
He said something suddenly came up,
so I came alone.
Okay.
When did you buy a house like this?
You never even called us.
I said I've been busy.
The seller said he wouldn't sell if he didn't meet me in person,
so I had no choice but to come for a short visit.
Anyway, the house is nice.
I like the area, too.
- Hand me the plate. - Okay.
I want him more the more I see him.
How do I make him mine?
What's wrong?
What? Nothing.
Everything looks so good.
It's delicious. It's really delicious.
Thanks for a good time.
Think about what I said earlier.
I said to bring in a woman, not an old man.
I will.
Someone like her.
Someone who's tough physically and mentally.
- Someone strong like Duk Shil. - Seriously.
- Mom! - Look.
Let him decide for himself.
Just get in the car.
Duk Shil, you ride up front.
Don't worry about kimchi.
I'll bring you a variety every chance I get.
Okay.
Get in. Bye.
Okay.
Goodbye.
I'm done for the day.
Do you need me to do anything else?
Would you please deliver these on your way out?
Okay.
I came from next door.
He asked me to drop this off.
Okay.
The new neighbor next door sent this.
- What is it? - It's an invitation.
I guess he's having a housewarming.
Is he taunting us or something?
So? What is the new owner like?
I don't know.
He sent an employee.
I am just speechless.
He knew how much we wanted that house.
Gosh. He has some nerve.
Maybe that's why he's inviting us over.
We have to live next door with just a wall between us.
We don't want things to be awkward.
You and Kwang Il go.
Tae Joon and I aren't interested.
Hi.
My wifey is calling.
Where are you?
Where else?
I'm in the middle of doing business.
Are you drinking?
Yes. I'm taking out an investor.
We need to get Yangji Construction back.
That's why I'm doing my best to get the funds together.
It's late. Finish up and come home.
Okay. I want to go home soon too.
Don't worry, and go to sleep.
I love you, honey.
Mommy.
Yes? Sorry, did I wake you?
I'm sorry.
I wasn't sleeping.
Why not?
I can't stop thinking about the coins.
Why are you teasing the boy? Why did you give him a problem like that?
Ji Min...
can't grow up to be like his dad.
That's what I regret most.
Not raising Kwang Il properly as my successor.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
If he fails to acquire Yangji Construction,
I plan to reevaluate...
who should succeed me from scratch.
Just so you know.
Stay on your toes.
Why did you come down?
I wanted to greet Kwang Il outside.
Why are you still up?
We'll go to sleep soon.
Good night.
But it's a big relief...
that Ji Min takes after his mom rather than his dad.
Kwang Il?
