(Hyung Jin's mother)
Oh, gosh.
(Episode 42)
She looked familiar.
Whom? The woman just now?
Maybe she's that cafeteria lady.
That lady who didn't give me any marinated shrimp.
But what's with her?
The vice-CEO picked up her cell phone for her,
but she didn't even thank me.
Do you think she doesn't know that I'm the vice-CEO?
You didn't have to pick it up for her.
How could I not? It fell right in front of me.
This is your problem. You're too easygoing.
You should keep a distance between you and the employees.
There's no need for that.
This isn't a broadcasting station.
You're the future chairman of Lara Group.
Stop saying that.
I feel so pressured just by thinking about it.
Anyway, if you're too friendly with people,
they tend to think you're easy.
Let's go.
Hey, Ms. Jin.
Where should I meet you?
Oh, okay. I'll be right there.
Hye Jin, I'm surprised to run into you here.
I have a dinner appointment here.
- Are you here to eat? - Yes.
I know it's late, but congratulations on...
becoming the design director.
Thank you.
If you're here with Min Koo,
why don't we eat together?
No, I'm not here with him.
Long time no see.
I never expected to meet you at a place like this.
Have you been well?
We're not exactly close enough to ask each other that.
Hey, should we go somewhere else?
No, it's okay. I don't see why we should.
Did I keep you waiting?
No, I just got here myself.
Let's go. Let's eat somewhere else.
Why? You said this place is famous.
I just lost my appetite.
Is your boutique doing well?
It's doing okay.
By the way, you look so much better than you used to.
Do I?
I guess it's because I feel at ease.
Maybe.
Let's sit over there, Jun Ho.
Come on.
Why did we have to run into them?
Let's just leave.
No, it's okay.
They mean nothing to me now.
- There's no reason to avoid them. - Really?
Okay, as long as you're fine.
What's the most popular menu?
Should we get this one?
I told you we should eat somewhere else.
What's wrong? Does seeing your ex-wife...
make you want to get back with her again?
Stop being absurd.
The steak is famous here. Let's order that.
I can't be here for long.
Let's just eat something simple. I'll have a salad.
Okay.
I was startled when I found out you work at the cafeteria.
Didn't you get any alimony?
Things happened to unfold that way.
But are you sure I didn't put you in a pickle?
You're still closely connected to that family.
Don't worry about it.
Our friendship matters just as much.
She's unbelievable. I don't know how she managed...
to win the chairman's confidence...
and get hired as the design director.
She's just full of surprises.
I don't know about anything else,
but I'm worried how distressed Seo Woo must be at that house.
She's okay now.
I was also worried at first,
but she seems a lot calmer now.
She must take after you.
- What? - I was surprised earlier.
I didn't know you were the type to speak your mind like that.
I'm not always like that.
So it differs depending on the situation?
Yes. Depending on the situation.
What are you going to do?
At this rate, you'll lose the trial.
Can't you postpone it one more time?
It already got postponed because I didn't show up last time,
so if I postpone it again, it'll be disadvantageous for me.
What if you really lose?
Then what's going to happen to Ha Neul?
If I don't lodge an appeal within two weeks,
they'll make it a final judgment.
Does that mean you'll have to send him to them?
Even if I lose,
I'm not going to give up.
- You're going to lodge an appeal? - Of course.
Yes, of course.
- The tea tastes nice, doesn't it? - Yes.
Gosh, she gives me the creeps.
My biggest worry is that she might...
start acting like a mother-in-law...
once our kids get married.
I'm sure she will.
After all, she's Seo Woo's stepmother.
I won't be able to stand it.
Seo Woo's mother is you and only you.
I'm home.
You came home alone again?
Yes. She's getting ready to launch a new product soon, so she's busy.
I'm starting to get confused if she's my daughter-in-law...
or an employee at Lara Fashion.
If she keeps working like this,
who's going to take care of the kid?
He'll need his mother's care...
in order to get used to living here.
It's probably because she just started work.
I doubt she'll be busy all year long.
Tomorrow's the trial, right?
Yes. Don't worry about it. Everything will go well.
Good night, Mom.
I never expected to meet you at a place like this.
Have you been well?
We're not exactly close enough to ask each other that.
Hey, should we go somewhere else?
No, it's okay. I don't see why we should.
Did I keep you waiting?
Gosh, she gives me the creeps.
She was unbelievably brazen.
What makes her so confident?
Let's go. Let's eat somewhere else.
Why? You said this place is famous.
I just lost my appetite.
Did I wake you?
No, I wasn't sleeping.
What's the matter?
I called to ask you something.
Hope seems to have withered a little.
How many times a week do I need to water it?
There's not exactly a set time,
but give it a lot of water when the pot feels dry.
I think once a week will be enough.
If you water it too often,
it could cause the roots to rot.
Oh, I see.
I must've watered it too often.
It likes the sun.
So you should put it where it can get...
a lot of sunlight and ventilation.
Okay, I will.
You must be worried...
about Ha Neul's trial tomorrow.
Yes, to be honest,
that's why I called.
I wanted to receive courage from you.
I don't know what I can do to give you courage,
but let's have faith in sincerity.
- "Sincerity"? - Yes.
Your sincerity toward Ha Neul.
Thank you.
You should sleep now. I'll hang up.
I hope you have a good dream.
(Yeon Hee)
("Good Job")
(Yeon Hee, "Good Job")
(District Court)
I knew we'd win.
Mr. Lee, thank you for your help.
I sincerely congratulate you.
You really helped us a lot. Thank you for everything.
There's no need to thank me. I just did my job.
I'll be off now.
Bye.
My goodness.
Oh, gosh.
You must be heartbroken.
I don't know what to say to console you.
This is why you should've given up...
when I offered to negotiate.
Then you would've become the owner of a driving range by now.
Let's go, Jun Ho.
It's not over until it's over.
It's not over for me.
Are you going to lodge an appeal?
I really pity you.
Where do you get the nerve to be so audacious?
Lodging an appeal won't change anything.
It won't change the fact that you lost your job...
due to sexual harassment and that you have a criminal record.
What if...
you guys were the ones...
who caused all that to happen?
What?
Don't even listen to him. Let's just go.
No, wait.
What did you just say?
What if I prove that you guys made me lose my job...
and get a criminal record?
Do you still think the result will be the same?
What kind of nonsense is this?
Are you saying you lost your job...
and got a criminal record because of us?
Do you really not know or are you just pretending?
What do you take me for?
How dare you talk nonsense?
Who knows?
You'll wait and see...
if this is nonsense or not.
I'll see you again in court.
What was that about?
Is he blaming us for what happened to him?
He must be crazy.
I told you not to listen to him.
Wait.
Let's call my family first.
I bet they're dying to hear the result.
You won?
Okay, great job.
You did great. Okay, bye.
Honey, they won.
Our grandchild will finally get to move in with us.
That's great.
They won? Really?
Yes, your brother just called.
I knew they'd win.
I trusted the judiciary of our country.
Justice still exists.
- You're going too far. - This is what you call justice.
We should call an interior designer...
and decorate Ha Neul's room.
- You can take care of that. - Okay.
Seo Woo, we have big news.
Jun Ho's son is finally moving in with us.
I'm talking about your little brother.
What if she keeps behaving that way...
even after Ha Neul moves in with us?
Gosh, this is a big problem.
You're right.
I hope she doesn't bully him.
Ms. Shin, did you hear?
Pardon?
Our one and only grandson will finally be moving in with us.
I see. Congratulations.
We're going to have a small party to congratulate tonight.
So please cook something nice for the occasion.
Okay.
Wait.
What's Yu Na's favorite food?
Tonight, I want you to mainly cook the stuff...
that my daughter-in-law likes.
Okay.
You can be really fickle, Mom.
You were really unhappy with her...
up until a few days ago.
She's bringing a son to a family...
that don't have a lot of sons.
That doesn't compete with anything. Do you understand?
She's already getting praised for her competence at work.
And now that she's even bringing home a son,
it'll be like she's on top of the world.
How am I going to stand that?
Stop being such a mean sister-in-law.
It's time you acknowledge the truth.
No.
I need to be hard on her so she always knows her place.
Jae Kyung.
I'm sorry.
You're making me anxious. Sit down already.
How can I sit down?
Why hasn't he called yet?
The trial should be over by now.
My gosh.
How did it go?
I guess you lost.
Then what's going to happen now?
Will you have to send Ha Neul to that family?
If I don't lodge an appeal, they'll make that a final ruling.
Then I'll have to send him to them.
What kind of a lousy law is this?
You raised him with so much care and affection for the past 10 years.
How could they ask you to give up on him overnight?
I told you I'm not going to give up.
Are you really going to lodge an appeal?
Of course.
If I can prove that they paid people to frame me,
I'll easily be able to turn things around.
You have a point. In order to win the trial,
they framed you for sexual harassment...
and made you get a criminal record for assault.
That in itself is a huge crime.
But how are you going to find proof?
I should do everything I can to find something.
Hello?
What? A dashcam footage?
Oh, okay. Thank you.
I'll be right there.
Who was that?
I think I found something. I'll tell you once I get back.
Please...
Why are you looking at me like that?
I wasn't looking at you.
- My gosh. - Why is there a mosquito here?
What's with him?
You should clean this place.
Please.
- Ms. Kang, you're back. - Hey, Ms. Kang.
Come and eat this.
Here.
Did something good happen?
- Do I seem happy? - Yes.
Here.
- The sample's here? - Yes, it came a while ago.
- What's this? - What? What do you mean?
The stripes here...
Don't you see they're not even?
I'm sorry. I didn't notice that.
Tell the sample team to make changes right now.
A small mistake like this...
could end up causing a lot of harm.
I'll go.
Thank you.
Stop it. Stop.
He's killing me! Help!
Thank you.
- Thank you for the food, Ms. Seo. - Thank you for the food, Ms. Seo.
Did you enjoy it?
Yes, it tasted like honey.
Of course, it did. I made you honey hotteok.
- Let's go play soccer, Ha Neul. - Okay.
Always watch out for cars.
- Okay, see you. - Okay, see you.
Bye.
Who is it?
- Hi. - Hello.
Hi. Who are you guys?
I'm Han Ha Neul. I live across the hall.
I'm Hwang Woo Joo. I live in the unit upstairs.
Really? It's nice to meet you guys.
What brings you here without calling?
I missed you, Grandma.
My goodness.
Bye, Ms. Seo.
Bye, Big Sister.
Hey, kid. I'm too old to be your big sister.
Call me Auntie.
You don't look that old.
You're even cooking snacks for them?
It must be exhausting.
That's nonsense.
It's kind of fun. It's like I have grandchildren.
I actually made some honey hotteok. Try one.
It looks delicious.
- Let me go wash my hands. - Okay.
I guess something's bothering you again.
I can tell by the look on your face.
The thing is, Dad's going to bring his son home soon.
Oh, I see.
I don't think I'll be able to face him.
I know he did nothing wrong.
But I feel like he's the one who put Mom in this situation.
I understand how you feel.
But like you just said, the kid did nothing wrong.
Are you telling me to accept him as my little brother?
Just don't make a big deal about it.
Plus, there's nothing you can do. He's your father's son.
This is why you should hurry up and get married.
Stop suffering in that house.
Your mom met up with Hyung Jin's mother last night.
They even want you guys to quickly get married.
So why are you guys being so hesitant?
(Design Director Kang Yu Na)
What's up?
I found out where Ms. Do works.
Really?
- Where? - Lara Fashion.
What?
What kind of nonsense is...
Are you sure?
I checked her going there.
What team?
I don't know that yet.
Hurry up and check. Do it now.
Do Yeon Hee is working at Lara Fashion?
What an interesting lady.
What do you mean?
How did she know I don't eat marinated shrimp?
She didn't give it to me.
Ms. Kang, here.
What is it?
I did what you asked and made some changes.
Can you check?
Later. I need to go somewhere.
But I need to send it to the sample team.
Where are you going?
I need to go to the cafeteria.
Leave it on my desk.
Nice.
(Vice-CEO Jang Jun Ho)
- Hey, Mom. - When are you getting off work?
I was just about to leave.
Make sure you come home with Yu Na today.
We're going to have a party...
to congratulate winning the trial. Make sure you bring her with you.
A party?
Oh, okay.
My gosh.
I bet she'll want to work overtime again.
Take me back
To how I was before I met you
You hurt me too much
For me to keep this as a good memory
Take me back
To how I was before I met you
What are you doing here?
I asked you what you're doing here!
Isn't it obvious?
I'm working.
What? You're working?
Do you think this makes any sense?
Don't you know where this place is?
Will you please leave?
I'm cleaning right now.
- What's your purpose? - My purpose?
Yes, your purpose.
You used to be married to the chairman's son,
but now you're working at the cafeteria.
I'm sure there's a purpose behind that.
No, I don't have a purpose.
I needed a job,
so I got a job at a food distribution company.
And they just happened to send me here.
Does that answer your question?
Do you expect me to believe that?
I don't care if you believe it or not.
Now get out of my way.
Tell me.
Why do I keep seeing you everywhere?
What do you think you're doing?
Tell me!
I told you already.
I needed a job, so I got a job at a food distribution company.
And they just happened to send me to Lara Group.
By any chance,
is it your goal to make the chairman or Jun Ho...
pity you for working here?
"Pity"?
I have absolutely no regrets...
when it comes to Jun Ho and his family.
You tried so hard to take Jun Ho from me,
but he means nothing to me now.
Do you understand?
I want you to quit.
Leave right now!
Why?
Are you scared?
Are you scared I might tell people...
the things you did to marry Jun Ho?
- What? - This is my workplace.
It took me a lot of effort to get a job here.
You have no right to tell me to quit.
Get out of my way.
My gosh.
Don't act up.
I can easily get you fired from here.
Wait.
You can't just leave.
What?
The reason I put up with everything even though I was falsely accused...
wasn't because I forgave you. It was because I chose to give up.
I didn't want to waste my life...
fighting a bunch of scumbags like you.
But not anymore.
I'll do exactly what you did to me.
Fine. Go ahead.
Let's see what you can do.
First, you poured a bucket of water over me.
So as for you...
Have you lost your mind?
I told you I'll pay you back.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
(Amor Fati)
It looks like Han Jae Kyung...
found a video of the guy hurting himself.
What?
- What do you mean I was paid? - If you confess the truth,
I won't sue you.
How dare you show up here?
You're awfully confident for someone...
who made me lose my job.
You must have lost your mind.
I'm no longer the Do Yeon Hee you used to know.
You'd better brace yourself.
