Okay. Try to figure it out.
Remember, 98 dollars and 93 cents is not the answer.
But...
why must I guess how much this is?
I never asked you to invest in my company.
You're going to manage my money.
I need to know whether or not you're capable.
You want to test me, is that it?
You don't have to do it if you don't want to.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
Okay. I'll be right there.
My tutor's at the house, so I have to go.
Sorry for bothering you.
Leave it.
Leave that here.
I'll try to guess the answer.
Thank you.
I'll come back around this time tomorrow after school.
As you wish.
Have a nice day.
What were you doing until now?
I had to do something.
Ji Min, go on up.
Your tutor's waiting in your room.
Okay.
Gosh.
He's the busiest person in our family.
I know.
That's right. Please call the farm.
Tell them I'll be there tomorrow.
Okay.
Is Ji Min's dad...
Yes. We'll go quietly.
Don't tell the others.
Yes, ma'am.
How do you feel?
I'm sorry for not visiting often.
Okay. I'll go tomorrow...
with Kwang Il.
Okay.
Tomorrow?
Sorry, I forgot.
I'll keep it free.
Okay.
I forgot again. I was going to try to remember this year.
What brings you here?
Does a dad need a reason to come to his son's office?
No, but you hardly come here.
Anyway, I'd like you...
to make some time tomorrow.
What is it?
Your grandma's very sick.
She wants to see you.
So go with me tomorrow...
Sorry, but I have important plans tomorrow.
Can't you cancel?
It's with an investor, so I can't.
You know how important this project is for me.
Okay. Good luck.
Do whatever it takes...
to get the acquisition through. Okay?
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
Call me Father when we're alone.
Yes, Father.
Remember, 98 dollars and 93 cents is not the answer.
Darn it.
Maybe I shouldn't have told him to leave it.
What's up?
Okay.
I'll be right there. Make sure he doesn't go home.
Okay.
He's here.
You're going home?
That's right.
I'm all better now,
so I'm going home.
I said to come to my house. Your room is all set up already.
Why should I?
Why should I leave my home and live in yours?
If it weren't for my mom, you'd be dead by now...
without using all that money you saved.
Stay with me for a few days, and you can leave if you hate it.
I won't stop you.
Why are you hitting me?
You should've stopped him.
You should've done whatever it took to stop him.
Why should I? Tae Yang wants to live with him.
You are dumber than a box of rocks.
Are you seriously asking me that?
Why am I dumber than a box of rocks?
People always said I was smart ever since I was a kid.
Even frogs are crying desperately to find a mate around this time.
They cry and cry...
with all they've got.
That's only the male frogs.
Why would I cry? I'm a girl.
Tae Yang won't cry, so you should.
The point is to mate. Who does the crying is irrelevant.
You stupid little girl.
You're so mean.
How could you say that to your daughter?
If not to my daughter, to whom should I say it? My late mom?
Stop complaining. Monsoon season is drawing near.
You should cry too.
- What? - Cry like the toads.
Cry like them.
Seriously. Darn it.
(Oh Tae Yang's Wise Investor)
You must have solved the problem from Great-grandpa,
seeing how you're relaxed and reading.
No, not yet.
What's gotten into you?
You can't do anything else until you solve the problem...
you're working on.
- Did you give up? - No.
I'm still solving it.
You are?
What are you reading?
It's the book the man next door wrote.
Why are you...
I want to study that man Oh Tae Yang.
- You do? - Yes.
I need to know whether he's someone I can invest my money in.
What do you mean?
Once I solve the problem Great-grandpa gave me...
and that money becomes mine,
I'm going to use that money to buy stock in Sun Holdings.
I'm home.
What were you thinking about?
Nothing.
What about Ji Min?
He's reading.
- Ji Min! - Honey, let's talk.
You're going to the farm alone with Mother tomorrow, right?
You knew?
Did Mother tell you?
No.
You and Mother always go every year around this time.
I guess you noticed.
We've lived together for years.
Did you think I didn't know?
Sorry.
No need to be sorry.
I was just curious.
I feel like there's a secret only I'm kept in the dark about.
Is that it?
No. There's no secret.
That's not it.
You were hurt.
No. It's understandable.
There are times I want to be alone with Ji Min too,
so I understand Mother.
Thanks for understanding.
But there are times you want to be alone with Ji Min too?
With just him? Without me?
Mother does too.
All moms are like that.
My mom's different from you.
She has a reason.
Regardless, I'm hurt...
that you want to be alone with Ji Min.
I'm mad.
Jung Hee, are you going to the farm today?
What?
Jae Yong and I wanted to take a road trip...
and go to your farm,
and the caretaker said...
you and Kwang Il were going today.
He did?
You always go alone with Kwang Il around this time every year.
Did you hide a secret treasure there or something?
This is the busiest time. We need to pull out weeds and stuff.
There's so much to do before monsoon season kicks in.
Even still.
Kwang Il is super busy with Yangji Construction's acquisition.
How could you drag him there to do farm work?
Please excuse me. I have something to do.
It's suspicious.
Something is definitely going on.
Are you going to dig up potatoes?
Their potatoes are to die for.
- Potatoes? - Yes.
Kwang Il was born during the summer solstice,
so Auntie planted a bunch of potatoes on her farm.
It's harvest season.
Tada.
What's with the potatoes?
They're summer solstice potatoes. Try some. They're good.
- They're your potatoes. - What?
You were also born during the summer solstice.
You're right.
Is that why I like potatoes?
So you're a June baby too, like Yoo Wol.
You did well, growing up underground in the dark.
This pretty girl will enjoy eating you.
Hot.
- It's hot. - Be careful.
He takes after me. He's super hot too.
So you're a hot punk.
Come on. You know that already.
So hot.
- So hot. - Give me that.
Eat this one.
- Thanks. - Sure.
- It's yummy. - Is it?
- Eat up. - Okay.
But Kwang Il doesn't like potatoes.
Let me excuse myself too.
What was that? Did he just ignore me again?
Ji Min.
What happened with the problem I gave you to solve?
Please give me some more time.
Until when?
Everything has a deadline.
Time's up. Just bring me my money.
Just until today.
Please give me until today.
It's with an investor, so I can't.
You know how important this project is for me.
I'm sorry.
You can't visit your sick grandma because you have to do farm work?
Your grandma wants to see you so badly.
Don't you even feel bad for her?
I'll go see her when I get back.
Forget it. Go today.
- I can't today. - Go today.
Why must it be today?
What about you? Why must it be today?
That's because...
We don't know when your grandma will pass away. So...
You've been saying that for years.
You said she was sick and may pass away soon,
and that I should go and visit her.
How many times have you said that?
Anyway, I can't go today.
I'll visit her another time.
Honey.
What's wrong with him?
Did he...
Why can't you eat?
Are you still having digestion problems?
It's because it tastes bad. That's why.
My housekeeper cooks well.
It may taste good to you,
but not to me.
I'm going home.
Hold on.
What are these coins for?
Did you kill a pig?
They aren't mine.
It's a problem the kid next door gave me to solve.
He told me to guess how much this is.
The kid next door?
That's right. But I can't figure out how much it is either.
You can't?
You can't figure this out?
It's not the face value.
It isn't the face value.
Hold on.
If it isn't the face value...
I knew it.
It's you.
- Did you figure it out? - Naturally.
Who am I?
I'm Hwang Jae Bok. Money is the only blessing...
I'm destined to have.
Then how much is this?
Why did the kid next door bring you this...
and ask you to solve it?
He says if I figure out how much this is,
he'll invest in Sun Holdings.
What was that?
I don't know whose kid he is, but he's a smart one.
He's the grandson...
of Yangji Group's chairman, Jang Wol Chun.
What... What?
Do you know Chairman Jang Wol Chun?
I'm speechless.
Of course, I do!
- What's wrong? - Darn it.
I knew I didn't want to come to this house.
I'm leaving. Don't stop me.
At least tell me the answer before you go.
Why should I tell Wol Chun's great-grandson the answer?
Darn it!
What happened between him and Chairman Jang?
Still. How could he leave without telling me?
So, it's you.
I'm sure something's going on.
What could it be?
Where are you going?
We can't go to the farm anyway.
I want to take the kids to the golf course to see my father.
Just the three of you? Without me?
Yes.
You should stay home. You stink at golf.
No! Let's go to Jung Hee's farm.
She and Kwang Il are going. No, I don't want to.
I'm curious. I need to know...
what the mother and son do at the farm.
She said they're pulling out weeds and digging up potatoes.
That's what makes it weirder.
The farm is filled with workers.
I'm sure there's a grotesque story we don't know about.
You're more grotesque.
Seriously.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Wait! Let's go to Auntie's farm.
Why should we go there?
Is it because you don't have kids?
Why is everyone so individualistic?
Forget this. Let's go to the farm and build on our teamwork.
Let's band together.
I don't want to.
We're not soldiers. Why should we band together?
We're family.
We can band together at the golf course.
Great idea. Go with us, honey.
Come on! I want to go to the farm!
We don't want to!
You brat! Seriously.
Be more like Kwang Il!
He's really busy, but he's going because his mom asked him to.
Why are you bringing him up? How annoying.
I'll go.
Really?
Yes. Let's go, Father.
We may not be soldiers, but let's band together.
Did you find out anything?
No.
Oh Tae Yang's famous,
but there's nothing known about his personal life.
Only that he was adopted abroad.
He was adopted?
Yes.
He was adopted by a Caucasian couple in Vermont when he was three.
But there's no information about his adoptive parents or family.
So, you're saying he was an orphan too.
Yes.
Do you still think he's Yoo Wol?
That's impossible.
He grew up with you since the age of 12.
Oh Tae Yang, James Oh, grew up in Vermont in the US.
I know. I do, but...
You said you lived in Korea for several years.
When was that?
A few years when I was in my mid-twenties.
He said he was in Korea during the dot com bubble.
Find out about what he did then.
What am I, a PI?
Fine, you brat.
Ms. Yoon.
Yes, Ms. Yoon.
Where is everyone?
Why is it so empty?
Maybe they lied about coming here and went somewhere else.
No way.
Why don't you go somewhere cool...
and eat lunch with the kids?
The gimbap is supposed to be phenomenal.
I'm going to look for Jung Hee.
I'll go with you, Mother.
Does she still...
No, right?
No way.
Did something happen this morning with your father?
No.
I'll come alone starting next year.
I should've been coming alone.
I was selfish.
Why don't you just tell Father the truth?
I'm sure he'll understand.
He was hurt a lot because of me. I don't want to do that to him.
It was...
hard for you too, wasn't it?
While we're on the topic,
even if we don't tell Father, shouldn't Shi Wol at least know?
I want to be honest with her.
Where are they?
Maybe they went somewhere else as Father said.
They did not.
I confirmed with the caretaker.
There they are.
Where?
- Kwang Il. - Quiet.
Why?
Doesn't it seem strange?
What?
Look how they're dressed.
Who works dressed like that?
Whose grave is that, anyway?
I don't know.
I never knew there was a grave.
I knew it.
There's something serious that they can't talk about.
Stay here.
Wait for me.
Ji Min will find out eventually.
Let's tell her.
No.
She'll understand you.
Regardless, no.
I can't show my flaws to my daughter-in-law.
Let's go.
What are you doing...
You said this was a busy time,
so we came to help.
- Right, Ji Eun? - Pardon?
Yes.
Min Jae and his dad are here too.
- Hello, Auntie. - Hi.
Hi, Ji Eun.
Hi.
Anyway,
whose grave is that?
Well...
The original owner of this land.
- The landowner? - Yes.
He gave me a condition when he sold this land to me.
He said this land was passed down for generations,
and that he wanted to be buried here once he died.
Even still, why would you two get dressed up like this...
and even put down a mat?
People would think you were family.
You're right.
He refused to sell. We practically took it by force to build this farm.
So it always bothers me.
I don't want any misfortune before this important acquisition.
That's why I brought him here.
To ask for Kwang Il's project to be successful.
It would be great to knock everything down...
and build a golf course here.
Why did Jung Hee build a farm here? It's such a pain.
Look. Mom and Auntie are here.
Mom!
- Hello. - You came to help?
That's right.
You said you'd rather pull out weeds than golf.
Thank you, Uncle. Thanks, Min Jae.
The men can pull out weeds, and the women can dig up potatoes.
No. The men should dig up potatoes...
and the women should pull out weeds.
Potatoes...
Darn it.
Kwang Il is very busy.
He's in charge of an important matter.
I'm sorry.
I promise to bring him next time.
It's okay.
I'm sorry, Tae Joon.
Why are you sorry? I'm the one who's always sorry.
Whenever I see you,
it breaks my heart.
Ever since you were young,
you filled in for your late dad...
and provided for our large family.
You worked so hard.
I did not.
Everyone did that back then.
Gosh.
I was always thankful,
and I was always sorry.
I don't want anything now.
I have a great-grandchild now.
What more could I want?
Ji Min is really smart.
He's much better than Kwang Il.
As he should be.
Tell Kwang Il to bring Ji Min with him.
I haven't seen him in so long,
I can't even remember what he looks like.
I will. I'll bring Kwang Il and Ji Min.
I promise.
Hello.
Do you bike to work?
Yes. My office is close, and it's good exercise.
Okay, then.
Just a minute.
What is it?
Well...
You said you were in Korea when you were in your mid-twenties, right?
Yes.
- Back then... - Mommy!
Hey.
Did you solve the problem?
- I did. - Really? How much is it?
- Come with me if you want to know. - Okay.
Mommy, I'm going to his house for a few minutes.
Let's go.
Do you have anything else to say?
Later.
I'll tell you later.
Okay.
Let's go.
How did you solve it?
I'll tell you when we're inside. How's school? Is it fun?
No, it isn't fun at all.
You don't like it already? You're only in the third grade.
That's why I'm worried.
I still have nine more years.
Nine years? Don't you plan to go to college?
I'll think about it then.
So? How much is it?
The answer lies here.
- Welcome home. - Hi.
You were hurt that we went by ourselves, weren't you?
Not at all.
Go with us next time.
Okay.
Where's Ji Min?
He went next door.
Next door?
Kwang Il, we need to talk.
This is your fault, Mom.
Come on.
We got to have a nice family bonding experience,
and we got a lot of the potatoes that you like.
Potatoes? I don't want any.
I'm afraid I'll see them in my dreams.
Ji Eun, then you eat them. I'll steam them for you.
I'm on a diet.
You can eat as much as you want.
Then... Honey, do you want...
Are you kidding me? Give me a break.
Darn it.
We worked our tails off but got nothing out of it...
Regardless, no.
I can't show my flaws to my daughter-in-law.
Flaws.
Yes! She said "flaws"!
I did get something!
What answer does this hold?
Look carefully.
When was that coin made?
It was made in 1998.
What year was 1998?
In 1997,
our country was hit with the IMF crisis.
That's why the national economy was struggling terribly in 1998.
That's why people started collecting coins.
And?
When they started gathering all the coins that were in hiding,
there were too many coins.
So, in 1998,
they made only 8,000 50-cent coins in 1998.
8,000?
Yes. Do you get it now?
Do you still not accept me as your father?
That's not it.
Then why won't you listen to me?
After how I raised you.
- I'm sorry. - Saying sorry isn't enough.
Do you still not get it?
No.
Then... Do you know...
- why gold is expensive? - Yes.
Tell me. Why is gold expensive?
What? The person in the grave is the original landowner?
Does she think I'm an idiot?
I'll just ask Father...
who's buried there.
It's hard for me, too.
Yes.
I went to my birth father's grave today.
That's why I lied. Get it now?
Oh my gosh.
Eureka!
I got it.
Rarity principle. That's it, isn't it?
It hurt every time...
I looked at you.
That's right. It's the rarity principle.
That's why that coin is worth much more...
than the value printed on its face.
And that value...
will continue to rise as time passes.
