(Episode 12)
Do you live here?
Yes.
It's nice to meet you. I just moved in next door.
Did you receive the invitation that I sent?
Yes.
I feel bad for the inconvenience my renovation caused the neighbors,
so I wanted to treat you to a warm meal.
Please make the time and come.
Okay. I'll see you at my house this weekend.
Wait a second.
Yes? Is something wrong?
Never mind.
Who is that man?
You must be curious about me.
It's my turn to get you back.
He's a businessman from the US, right?
He really does look like a movie star as Ji Eun said.
Oh my gosh. You must be the new neighbor.
Yes.
I heard from my daughter-in-law...
that you sent out invitations for your housewarming party.
Oh, that. Yes.
I hope we'll get along well since we're neighbors.
Yes, same here.
This house is kind of old. Not what a young man would like.
You must have an unusual taste.
I liked the area more than the house itself.
You have a good eye.
This area is famous for being blessed.
I see. I'm a little busy right now,
so please excuse me.
- Then you should go. - Yes.
Go on.
I wish I had a daughter who could marry him.
But why does he seem so familiar?
I feel like I've seen him before.
That's right!
I'm here!
You're a lady of leisure...
now that your smart daughter-in-law runs the company.
Would you like some tea?
I'm fine. I had both cold and hot drinks already.
You were just here for breakfast.
Have you nothing else to do?
What do you mean?
I'm a busy person.
Exactly. So why did a busy person come back?
To tell you something.
What is it this time?
I just met the man next door.
The one who just moved in.
Why do you keep talking about him? Forget it. I'm not interested.
I'm sure you are.
You'll become interested once you see him.
What are you trying to say now?
The next door neighbor looks just like someone.
I thought he was reincarnated.
Whom does he look like?
Your first love.
Remember that guy you were crazy in love with before you got married?
What was his name? Anyway.
He looks like his clone. I thought he was his son.
Why are you bringing up a man from the past?
Then what? Should I bring up a man from the future?
Why not? It's all in the past.
I still don't understand...
why you hurried to marry Tae Joon like that.
That man you loved with all your life suddenly died.
But you got married before the soil on his grave could dry.
Father's so mean.
He refused to accept him because his family wasn't rich...
although he studied law at Seoul National University,
but Tae Joon, who had much less to offer,
he accepted and had you marry in like an instant.
It's baffling. Don't you agree?
Aren't you sick of it yet?
Don't come over if you're going to say things like that.
She's always telling me not to come.
It's such a mystery. It really is.
I almost...
forgot.
(Director Yoon Shi Wol)
Look here, madam director.
Hey. What's up?
Why are you so deep in thought? You didn't even hear me come in.
Is something wrong?
No.
As if. Your face says, "I'm worried," all over it.
I can't blame you.
With stock prices keep falling and the negative news.
Why did you say you'd acquire Construction...
and bring our healthy company down with it?
I saw someone who looked like him.
Who?
Yoo Wol.
"The successful women's casual brand owned by Yangji Produce,"
"the mother ship of Yangji Group."
"Owner of 23 brands including Tturu Tturu,"
"it has over 500 stores across the country."
"Their sales broke one billion dollars..."
Should I continue?
No.
It closed yesterday at 14 dollars. It went down a dollar.
As word got around that Yangji was acquiring Yangji Construction,
their stock price keeps falling.
Yangji Produce's stock price dropped 50 percent in the first quarter.
"Bank officers from Joeun Bank..."
"plan to visit Yangji Produce's headquarters soon."
"Foreign investors of Yangji Produce express discontent..."
"regarding the drop in stock price."
"The accounting firm auditing Yangji Produce..."
"plan to conduct a strict audit at the end of the year."
You can tell just from the headlines, right?
We can't invest in Yangji Produce.
We can't sacrifice our shareholders for your revenge.
I won't permit it.
From what I saw, Tturu Tturu was perfectly fine.
The stores were filled with customers.
The service provided by the employees was top-notch.
Stock prices are falling,
and the media say they're in danger,
but what I saw in the stores was the complete opposite.
For whom are you shopping?
Well...
My girlfriend is going on a trip.
What about the new travel line?
It mirrors the customer who enjoys relaxation and leisure...
Are you saying you'll acquire Yangji Produce or something?
Is that why you came back?
Is that why you moved into the house next to hers?
To get revenge on Shi Wol?
What will you do by acquiring Yangji Produce?
There's something I must do first.
What do you mean?
What?
What's wrong with Ji Min?
Is something wrong?
He couldn't solve the problem his great-grandfather gave him.
Gosh. What was the problem this time?
Hey, kid.
Give it up. From what I can tell,
you'll never get it right.
I won't give up.
I'm going to get the answer right and get that money.
My gosh. Whom do you take after?
Kwang Il wasn't like that.
Seeing as you're good with financial management already,
you must take after your grandma who started in accounting.
Of course.
My grandson should take after his grandfather. Who else?
Whatever the problem is, make sure you solve it, okay?
Why does Ji Min take after you?
He takes after me.
You're right.
Ji Min takes after you. That's right.
He's just like me when I was little.
I was like that.
I couldn't stand not knowing something.
You're popular, Ji Min.
They're fighting over whom you take after.
Anyway,
when are you two going to have kids?
You've been married for years now.
Why don't you have kids yet?
That's right.
You're going to the housewarming next door today, right?
Yes.
I wish I could go too.
It's for young people. You'd just ruin the mood.
I'm just saying. Can't I even talk?
She doesn't want to go, though.
I don't feel well.
You don't feel well?
What's wrong?
It's nothing serious.
I'll be better if I get some rest.
You should try to go if you can.
The next door neighbor may become Kwang Il's... I mean,
Yangji Group's knight in shining armor.
What do you mean? Knight in shining armor?
The man next door is the CEO of Sun Holdings.
I looked into it.
Sun Holdings, the investment firm?
Yes. He just came from the US. Oh Tae Yang, their CEO,
is the man next door.
Sun Holdings?
How did he know we were searching for a knight?
I think this was destiny.
Yes. In that case, you have to go...
to his housewarming today.
Think of it as business, and go.
Yes, honey. Let's go, okay?
What's this?
You're having a housewarming.
Mom made them.
Why? I'd take care of it.
Just say, "Thank you," and take them.
You know how well my mom cooks.
I bet even conglomerate owners would swoon over her food.
Thank her for me.
I will.
How tacky. Who uses wraps in this day and age?
Who cares how it looks? The inside is what matters.
Stop whining, and bring this to Tae Yang.
He didn't even invite me. What do you want me to do?
Show them that you're his girl, you idiot.
Is that why you made this food?
Of course.
I never do anything that isn't profitable.
Make sure the neighbors know who you are.
Make sure they spread the word that Tae Yang is spoken for.
Come on. What are you talking about? He's not an object or anything.
They should be here soon. Let's get ready.
You're going to stay?
Can't I?
That's not it, but people may get the wrong idea.
The wrong idea? About what?
Gosh.
You said they're all couples.
So you should have a partner too.
Don't worry. I'll do well.
Look. I'm saying this for your own good.
Don't you dare bring up the past.
I don't know your past. How could I talk about it?
You're so silly.
I'm saying don't talk about how we first met.
You mean about how I saved your life when you were drowning?
That's right.
Sun Holding's CEO, Oh Tae Yang.
That's me.
We can't give them anything to wonder about.
Got that?
I know that much.
I got it.
Are you ready?
Yes.
What's with that outfit?
Why?
It doesn't match mine.
It's too simple.
We're just going next door. Isn't that a bit much?
We're not going next door. We're meeting an investor.
Change quickly.
That's right.
Wear the necklace and earrings I bought you recently.
It's not a banquet.
Let's dress casually.
He even sent official invitations.
We should show respect.
Go on.
Are you going to a party?
That's right, I'm throwing a party.
What about you?
I knew you'd get all decked out, so I came prepared.
I didn't want to be intimidated by heirs and heiresses.
What do you think? I look awesome, right?
They're here.
Thank you for inviting us.
Thank you for making time in your busy schedule.
I made this myself.
Give me a break.
Thank you so much.
This is one of my favorite wines.
I hope you like it.
My gosh. It's one of my favorites as well.
I'm glad.
I'm Choi Kwang Il.
And this is my wife.
- I see. - I'm Yoon Shi Wol.
- I'm Oh Tae Yang. - I see.
I'm Hong Ji Eun.
I'm Park Min Jae.
I'm Choi Duk Shil.
You must be his wife.
That's right.
I'm right. I'm your work wife.
I'm just kidding. I'm his colleague.
Then are you still single?
Yes.
My gosh. You're the CEO of Sun Holdings?
You speak Korean well for a Korean-American.
You sound like a native.
I lived here for several years.
Why did you drop out of college?
I heard I had to if I wanted to start a venture.
Just kidding. To be honest, I couldn't afford it.
Actually,
I once invested in ventures and lost a lot of money.
During the dot com bubble.
My nickname back then was air bubble washing machine.
Bubble maker.
I see.
That's when I realized...
I wasn't meant to invest.
But you said investing was the easiest for you.
I read it on an article online.
That's right. He's seriously the guru of investing.
I hit a 10-bagger the first time I invested.
Of course, my excessive greed caused it to have a sad ending.
People compare Sun Holdings' success to Warren Buffet's success.
What do you think is the secret to your success?
I simply enjoyed the game.
I had a clear goal,
so it was fun.
Above all else, it matched my disposition.
How can I be a successful day trader like you?
I simply enjoy the game.
I have a clear goal, so it's fun.
Above all else, it matches my disposition.
Who are you?
Why did you move into this house?
From an investment perspective, this house isn't that great.
You're right.
To be honest, I was torn between two places.
A penthouse in Gangnam and this house.
And I chose this house.
Why?
I'm not sure.
I must have been blinded.
You know how sometimes,
things your mind can't comprehend occur?
For example, love between a man and a woman?
This house is the same.
What could I do? I fell in love at first sight.
That makes me like you even more.
You seem more human.
I agree with you 100 percent.
I was love-struck with my wife and was completely blinded.
It's so serious, I'm still blind.
Was it because you were blinded,
that you killed me?
Honey.
I'm curious.
How did you two meet and end up getting married?
Why don't you hear that another time when you're alone?
I don't feel like hearing it here.
I'll do that.
You said you lived in Korea for several years.
When was that?
A few years when I was in my mid-twenties.
Actually,
he suffered a similar pain as you, Mr. Choi.
Really? What was it?
What's the big deal? It was all over the media.
He did angel investing and lost everything...
around the same time as you.
Oh dear. We're brothers-in-arms.
Let's be friends.
Sounds good.
The timing of his move is so peculiar.
The man next door.
Is he that great?
You should look him up.
It says just how great he is.
I wish he'd be a good companion...
for Kwang Il.
What do you think? Awesome, right?
The next door neighbor...
looks just like someone.
I thought he was reincarnated.
What's wrong?
He's the same age as Kwang Il.
Yes, that's right.
I'm going to tell him to be friends since they're the same age.
I think he'll be of great help to Kwang Il in many ways.
I guess so.
What are you doing?
I'm thinking about how much this is.
That must be the problem from your great-grandpa.
- Yes. - Okay.
Shall I count with you?
It's no use.
I've counted hundreds of times.
You must not know,
but I'm incredibly good at counting money.
When I was your age, I won a national abacus competition.
- Abacus? - Yes.
I did calculations in my head and used the abacus, not computers.
I was a math genius.
A math genius?
That's right. You're smart...
because you take after Grandpa.
Not Great-grandpa, but Grandpa.
Don't just play with the computer. Learn the abacus.
It's really good for brain development.
Okay. I see.
If you say you want to learn, I'll teach you.
Do you want to?
If you solve this problem for me.
You punk. Are you actually making a deal with me?
Try it with the abacus.
You punk. Why would I use the abacus for this?
I can do it in my head.
- Then try it. - Really?
Okay. Watch.
I've only counted bills,
so coins are...
98 dollars and 93 cents. Right?
What?
Wrong.
I'm wrong? That can't be.
Your math skills are excellent,
but it isn't the answer.
Then what's the answer?
I wouldn't be like this if I knew that.
You must be more than just colleagues...
seeing as you accompanied him to a couple's gathering.
Right?
You may think as you wish.
I won't stop you.
You're pretty cool.
I'm cool at times, hot at times.
I can't stand being lukewarm.
I'm the same.
I like being clear about things.
What I hate the most are people...
who are different on the outside than on the inside.
Those people whom I can't tell...
whether they're hot or cold.
In other words, I can't stand them.
When did you meet Mr. Oh?
You seem to have known each other for quite a while.
That's right. We've known each other for quite a while.
We saw everything there is to see from the get-go.
We had a very fateful first meeting.
How did you meet?
Like I said, I saw everything there is to see.
Even things that I shouldn't.
A one night stand?
Well... You can call it that.
We did spend the night together the day we met.
You're a real go-getter.
Did I say too much?
Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not weird.
What's weird about it? I envy you.
If you're envious, you lose.
Please excuse me for a moment.
I don't feel well.
Your sister-in-law is beautiful.
Are you saying I'm not?
Not at all. You're absolutely beautiful.
You should be Miss Korea.
I get that all the time.
Let's go for a round of golf sometime.
I haven't picked up golf yet.
Where are you going?
I don't feel well, so I wanted to get some air.
Don't mind me, and continue.
There's a balcony in the study.
It's cool there.
You can go there.
Okay. Thank you.
What sports do you like?
I like all sports that use a large ball.
A large ball?
Basketball, volleyball, soccer, things like that.
Let's play soccer sometime then.
I'm in a soccer league.
Why would you want to travel in a group?
What about basketball?
There's a nice court out front.
I'm fine with anything.
Let's play basketball...
Soccer...
I guess you have a disadvantage.
Why? What now?
You're shorter than we are.
Here, have some cabbage juice.
You said your stomach was bothering you.
Does your stomach hurt again?
Here, drink this. It's cabbage juice.
Why do I have digestive problems?
I get indigestion if I'm even slightly stressed.
I know.
You were given everything,
but I guess not the best digestive system.
You're right. I think so too.
Drink up. Drink this...
and poop it out.
Gross.
You haven't gone in three days. Did you think I didn't know?
Hey!
It must be so hard, not going for three days.
You have amazing patience.
Stop it.
Be honest.
You want to die, don't you?
You're right. I want to die right now.
Happy?
Go on.
Who...
are you?
Why are you copying Yoo Wol?
Do you dislike cabbage juice?
Don't you...
know me?
Sorry?
Do you really...
not know me?
Do you know me?
As you already know, I lived in the US for a while.
Have you been there before?
Did we meet at an investment meeting or a lecture?
My apologies. I meet so many people, you see.
I can't remember.
It's okay.
I must have been confused...
because you resemble someone I know so much.
Someone you know?
Who?
Honey.
I brought her this since she had a stomachache.
Is it very bad?
No.
You know it gets better once I get fresh air.
I'm sorry for concerning you.
Drink up.
Thank you so much for making that for her.
Not at all.
She got sick after eating our food.
I'm sorry.
Please, drink this.
My wife is healthy,
but she has digestive problems.
I see.
Thank you for inviting us today.
We'll have you over next time.
Sure.
Thank you for the juice.
Even still,
why should you grind up cabbage and serve it up to her?
She got sick eating our food in my house. I felt bad.
If I get a stomachache, will you make me cabbage juice too?
Why should I?
What about her? Why did you make it for her?
She was a guest that I invited.
You ingrate.
Am I worth less to you than someone you just met?
Fine. I'll make it for you. Satisfied?
Forget it.
I don't want it.
Then don't.
You ingrate.
Look at how you treat the person who saved your life.
How long will you use that saving my life bit?
I've repaid you plenty.
I'll use it as long as you're still alive.
Why? Because I saved your life.
So don't waste your energy trying to get away.
You're just a fish trapped in my steel aquarium.
Why are you staring at me?
I was just reminded of a fish.
- What fish? - There's this fish...
that I caught a very long time ago.
What's this?
Find out about this man.
Sun Holdings, Oh Tae Yang?
Why?
That's him. The next door neighbor I mentioned.
Why do you want to find out about him?
I just need to know who he is.
So? How do you feel now that you met Shi Wol?
Do you think I'm doing this because I can't let go?
- If not? - I told you.
I'm going to pay back...
what I received. No. 10 times with interest.
How will you pay them back?
I'll kick Chairman Jang's family out of Yangji Group.
What about Yangji Group?
I'll take it for myself.
You'll take it?
Do you doubt me?
Anyway, I'm glad...
what you want is Yangji Group, and not Shi Wol.
I thought maybe and was worried.
Good thinking.
Forget all about Shi Wol.
Don't worry.
Hello?
What?
What happened?
He wouldn't come eat or answer his phone,
so I went to check on him, and he was like this.
What did the doctor say?
Luckily, he's fine.
It could've been dangerous if I got there any later.
What did he eat?
He must have been hungry and ate too quickly.
The rice cake sealed off his throat.
He couldn't breathe.
His eyes were like this...
and he was...
like this.
Thank goodness you went.
Right.
I pretty much saved his life.
This is why old people shouldn't live alone.
They need people to take care of them.
- So I was thinking... - You're right.
I'm going to live with him.
You?
Yes. I'm going to take him to my house when he gets discharged...
even if he refuses.
That's not right.
- Why should you? - Then who?
He has no one else.
Why not? He has me.
That's what I'm doing, and that's that.
Hello.
I'm Choi Ji Min. I live in this house.
I'm a third-grader at Haesung Grade School.
What's up?
You're Mr. Oh Tae Yang, the CEO of Sun Holdings, right?
I am.
I'd like a consultation.
- A consultation? - Yes.
Tell me.
What do you want to consult?
- What is this? - Money.
Why...
I want to invest.
So, you want to use this money...
to invest in our company?
Yes.
Then do it.
There's a problem.
- A problem? - Yes.
I need to know how much money this is for it to become mine.
What do you mean?
So, if I don't know how much money this is,
I can't invest in you.
Don't you know how to count money?
I do.
Then why are you asking me that?
Can't a third grader do math?
Then you figure out how much this is.
What?
I saw online that you're a math genius.
Gosh. Did you do a background check on me?
That's not hard.
Anyway, if you guess the answer correctly,
I will...
invest this money in you.
Okay. Try to figure it out.
