(Episode 101)
You seem really surprised.
Mom.
"Mom?"
Did you just call me "Mom?"
No.
You must've been really surprised. You're crying.
Oh, I guess something got in my eye.
Thank you.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
Your phone screen is cracked.
Shall I get it fixed for you?
Pardon me? You'll fix it for me?
It happened because I startled you.
Oh, no. It's okay.
Come on.
Give me your number.
It's getting late, so let's meet tomorrow and get it fixed.
Well, you didn't have to do this.
I feel bad.
And there's a phone repair store I know well.
Come on.
Why are you staring at me?
Just because.
I think you're so pretty.
Me?
I'll call you.
I'll be off, then.
All right.
What do you think?
These are all great photos.
This really is the best day of my life.
I want to eat the foods you make for the rest of my life.
What?
Whenever I was going through a hard time,
you were always there for me.
You comfort me...
and give me the strength to carry on.
Mi Rae.
So I want to do the same for you, Kang San.
Why? You don't want that?
It's not that.
I'm just so grateful.
It's what I wanted to say,
but you said it first.
I'll do everything in my power...
to make you happy. So please...
stay by my side...
until the end of time, Mi Rae.
Here, cheers.
Cheers.
"Mom?"
Did you just call me "Mom?"
That woman looked so much like Mom.
Gosh, I should've asked her to take off her sunglasses.
But why was she wearing sunglasses at night?
Here. I washed your laundry, my sweetie pie.
Thanks, Grandma.
Goodness. Why were you looking at your mom's photo again?
Do you miss her?
Grandma. To tell you the truth,
I saw a woman who looked just like Mom at the playground.
What? She looked just like your mother?
Yes. The resemblance was uncanny.
At that moment, I felt as though Mom came back to life.
Gosh, you poor thing.
You miss your mother so much...
that you're seeing things.
No, Grandma. I'm telling you. She looked so much like Mom.
I was so surprised that I even dropped my phone.
So my phone's broken now.
Look.
Oh, no!
This expensive cell phone is broken.
What should we do?
Don't worry. That lady said she'd meet me and get it fixed tomorrow.
Gosh, don't do that. You should never inconvenience others.
I'll give you money so you can get it fixed, okay?
I told her it was okay,
but she said there was a place she knew,
so I promised to meet her tomorrow.
Really?
Anyway, how much does she resemble your mom?
She looked just like Mom in that photo.
I'm not sure though. Maybe I was mistaken because it was dark.
I'll find out when I see her tomorrow.
Grandma. Don't tell Dad, okay?
You can't tell him.
What? Why do you want to keep it from him?
He'll be worried. That's why.
Dad is a worrywart. You know that, Grandma.
I see.
Jan Di. Mother, you're here too.
Yes. Hi, Kang San.
Yes.
Hey, daughter. You won't even say hi to me?
Hi.
Dad, did you have a good time with Ms. Ok?
Did you propose to her?
I did. Thanks to you, it went very well.
Oh, right. Ms. Ok's family invited you over.
They want to meet you properly.
Are you free tomorrow evening?
What? Her family would like to meet Jan Di too?
Yes, Mother.
Jan Di, what do you say?
Dad, I should make time no matter what even if I've got plans.
My gosh! This is great.
They were strongly against it.
Oh, my. Good things are happening, at last.
Right?
They're fond of Jan Di. They all adore her.
I see.
Hey.
Why did you take out your mom's picture?
Oh, this? Just because.
Oh, right. Jan Di said she saw a woman...
- who looked just like her mother... - Grandma!
- Yes. - I'm hungry, Grandma.
- I want a late-night snack. - A late-night snack?
Yes. I'm suddenly so hungry. Hurry, please.
- Hurry. - What? Are you going to get taller?
- Mother. - I want a snack.
My goodness.
Oh, boy.
(Doo Ho)
It's Kyu Sun's phone.
She left her phone here? She's so forgetful.
What is this? "Doo Ho?" What's with the heart emojis?
Hi, Kyu Sun. You're still up, right?
I called to talk about where to go this weekend.
Are you the baker?
Yes, I am.
I am Kyu Sun's brother.
Why would you meet my sister on the weekend?
Also, you're her employee. Address your boss appropriately.
Why are you calling her by her first name?
Kyu Chul! Gosh.
Oh, no.
Hi, Mr. Kim. Yes, I'll call you back later.
Okay.
Kyu Chul, what are you doing?
Who said you could answer my phone? That's bad manners.
"Bad manners?"
What's going on between you and that baker?
And what's with those heart emojis?
Oh, it's...
It symbolizes my mindset of wanting...
to treat my employees with love, not as mere subordinates.
You're the president of a company, so you must know too.
These days, you must treat your staff with respect and communicate with them.
What?
Well, you can't boss them around...
like the old days.
You must treat each other with love, like friends.
That's how you build trust.
Anyway, that's how I want to treat my employees,
so mind your own business.
Fine, let's say that's just how you treat your employees.
But why are you two meeting privately on the weekend?
Oh, that?
We have to buy some baking ingredients.
We have to pick some things together.
Are you sure it's about work?
Yes, of course.
Mark my words.
If you waste your time dating a loser,
I won't let it slide.
That really isn't what's happening,
so stop nagging me and get some rest.
Gosh.
I'm still single and unmarried because I always listened to you.
I won't listen to you anymore.
Oh, right.
Yes.
Hi, Doo Ho. That must've caught you by surprise.
What? Don't worry.
I made something up, and my brother believed it.
Hi, we met at the playground yesterday.
Did you get home safely last night?
Where shall we meet today?
(Where shall we meet today?)
Let's meet in front of Hongin Middle School.
(Let's meet in front of Hongin Middle School.)
If I wear this secretly, Dad won't know.
Jan Di, you should go to school. You said it was your turn to clean.
Yes, I'm ready. I was about to head out.
Why did you take out this box?
It's nothing.
- Dad, let's go. I'm running late. - What?
- Hey, why did you take out... - I'm late.
I have to clean the classroom.
Grandma!
- Yes. - I'm running late. It's my turn to clean,
- so I can't eat. - My goodness.
Wait! Come here.
Take this sandwich.
Thanks, Dad.
Hey! What time are you meeting the person who offered to get your phone fixed?
Right after school.
Gosh, you shouldn't meet a stranger alone.
Don't worry, Kang San. Ye Ju said she'd go with her.
Darn. Other women are busy going on dates with their boyfriends,
yet I have to follow my niece around, acting like her parent. Poor me.
Geum Jan Di, I practically raised you. Don't ever forget that.
Gosh, stop it.
Thanks, Ye Ju.
Jan Di, shall I pick you up when you're on your way to Chairman Hwang's house?
Come on. I know where Jun Pyo's place is. I can find it.
Make sure you call me if you can't find it, okay?
Gosh, you're too overprotective.
Jan Di, you must leave a good impression on Chairman Hwang's family today.
Don't forget that your dad's future depends on it.
Okay, don't you worry.
- I'm going to school! - All right.
Watch out for cars, my sweetie pie!
- Bye. - Have a good day! See you later.
- Okay! - My gosh.
I mean, if Chairman Hwang's family invited them over for dinner,
that's like a pre-wedding family meeting.
How could they not invite me, knowing I'm his father?
They're wealthy but discourteous.
Goodness. Please don't do anything.
Don't get involved and ruin things, okay?
Sang Soo is right, Mr. Geum. Please don't step in, okay?
What's with you all? I should be there to seal the deal.
It's not a pre-wedding meeting.
I just want to greet them properly with Jan Di,
so don't take it to heart.
Even so,
Mr. Kim and I should be there as the bride and groom's fathers, right?
Well, yes. That's true, Mr. Geum.
But they're meeting without us.
Mr. Kim, you must be hurt too.
I'm happy that they finally have Chairman Hwang's permission.
Mr. Kim is so understanding and generous. Right, Mom?
Let's eat.
- Kang San. - Hi.
Why are you here so early?
I got here early because I wanted to see you.
I don't believe you.
Come on. It's true.
My gosh.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Mr. Geum, you're here already? - Yes.
Jun Pyo, are you leaving now? Jan Di left long ago.
She has to clean the classroom today.
Oh, I have something to say.
Okay. What is it, Jun Pyo?
You two.
Congratulations.
Auntie Mi Rae and Uncle Kang San.
My gosh. "Uncle?"
Jun Pyo.
Hey, Ok Jun Pyo.
It can't be stopped, Dad.
Thanks.
I'm off to school.
Let's go, Dad.
What? Okay.
- Take it easy, Mr. Geum. - Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Have fun at school.
He called me "Uncle."
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Mom, what's the matter?
Are you sad that Kang San and Jan Di are visiting Ms. Ok's family together?
No, it's not because of that.
Then what's the matter?
The thing is, I had a dream about Sun Ju last night.
Sun Ju? Out of the blue?
Yes.
Is it because of what Jan Di said yesterday?
What did Jan Di say, Mom?
She said she met a woman who looked just like Sun Ju...
at the playground last night.
The woman who offered to get her phone fixed for her.
What? That woman looked like Sun Ju?
Well, it's nothing odd to run into 1 or 2 people who look like you.
Right, that's true.
Anyway, Sun Ju...
must be very sad that Kang San and Jan Di are moving on,
seeing how she showed up in my dream.
Come on, Mom. It's a good thing for Jan Di.
Hey, Ye Ju.
You must tag along when she's meeting that woman to get her phone fixed. Okay?
Yes, I heard you.
I'll find out how much she actually resembles Sun Ju.
Happy now, Mom?
Yes, you have to.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Is she not inside?
Oh!
What brings you here?
I was just passing by. I came to see my aunt.
I see.
Well, you haven't been ordering the lunchbox for a while.
I have a craving for it,
but I'm in a pickle.
What?
Don't worry about Sang Soo.
Just order it, okay?
Who said that was the reason?
I haven't been ordering because I didn't want to get you in trouble.
My gosh. What? So you did it for my sake?
Well, I also don't want to have to deal with a hassle.
Gosh. I'm grateful and disappointed at the same time.
Anyway, I'll see you around.
Wait.
Yes? What is it?
How about a cup of coffee?
Coffee?
Isn't that coffee in your hand?
Oh, it is.
I'm sorry. I have somewhere to be.
Really?
Yes.
But are you disappointed?
To be honest... Yes, a little.
Hye Ri! Look.
How do I look?
Oh, Geum Jan Di! That outfit looks great on you.
Really?
Yes, for real.
Anyway, I wonder who sent you this outfit.
Well, I'm curious too.
It must be someone who knows me very well.
It fits me perfectly, and it's totally my style.
It kind of scares me though.
What if it's from a stalker?
A stalker?
Come on. No way.
Sorry, Jan Di. I have to go to the academy now.
Oh, right. You should get going. See you tomorrow, Hye Ri.
- See you tomorrow. - Bye!
Then shall I go meet that lady now?
Hi, Auntie Ye Ju. Where are you? How come you aren't here?
I'm sorry. Something important has come up,
so I can't go with you.
Gosh. Then what should I do?
If I go alone, Dad will yell at me.
Just meet that lady, get your phone fixed, and hurry home.
Text me your whereabouts in real-time. Okay?
Gosh, okay.
I'm annoyed.
So I have to meet that lady alone?
Oh, I still have some time.
Jan Di!
Oh, you're here already?
I got here early and waited to see you, Jan Di.
I see.
But...
how do you know my name?
Oh.
Well... Take a guess.
Oh, I don't know.
Anyway, let's go.
Come on.
Ms. Ok, you really are impressive.
I mean it. I have big respect for you.
What do you mean, Ms. Jang?
Well...
You managed to persuade both families...
and even won Jan Di over,
whereas I got my hair pulled out...
and nearly had paint thrown at me.
No. I still have a lot to learn,
but Jan Di accepted me. For that, I'm truly grateful.
But do you really feel confident?
About becoming Jan Di's mom.
Sorry?
I knew her mother, Sun Ju, very well.
We became close friends when we were very young.
How should I put this?
From her personality to her tastes, she was totally different from you.
You see,
when she wanted to do something, she had to do it no matter what.
Well, you could say she was a go-getter.
But you could also say that she was self-centered.
Ho Rang.
Why must you speak ill of someone who is already dead?
Hey, I just wanted to tell her so she'd know.
Worry about yourself. You don't need to worry about Ms. Ok.
Ms. Ok may seem soft, but she's such a strong person.
Me?
Yes!
"Ms. Ok may seem soft, but she's such a strong person."
Gosh, seriously.
You little...
He's right. You're soft but strong.
Well... I could've just gotten it fixed.
Why? You don't like it?
It's not that! I love it.
I just feel bad.
I did it because I wanted to buy it for you as a gift,
so don't feel bad.
But still...
Then...
shall we go to a cafe now?
Mi Rae.
Jan Di will love this.
I'm not sure if Jan Di will like this taste though.
- Try it. - Sure.
This is exactly how Jan Di likes it. It's so good!
Really? Then I'm relieved.
My gosh. I guess Mi Rae is putting her cooking skills to use for Jan Di.
I guess so, Soo Ji.
Chan Ran. You cooked up a storm too...
the day Mi Rae first came to our house.
Your daughter is just like you.
Gosh, Father. That was years ago.
Is that true, Mom?
Yes, it's true.
Thank you for inviting me and my daughter.
Mr. Geum, today is Jan Di's day.
Call her and make sure she's on her way.
Yes, I should give her a call.
Why? Is she not picking up?
- No. Maybe she's on the bus now. - The person you have reached...
I'm so happy to see you enjoy it.
You're so adorable, Jan Di.
Well, I'm not sure how you'll take this,
but you look so much like my late mother.
Do I?
Yes.
I was so surprised when I first saw you...
that I dropped my phone.
And deciding to meet you today...
wasn't really about my phone.
To tell you the truth, I wanted to see you again.
I see.
That said...
Could you take off your sunglasses just once?
My sunglasses?
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, don't be sorry.
Sure.
What do you think?
Do I look a lot like your mom?
Oh...
Yes.
Anyway, it makes me happy to hear that I look like your mother.
It doesn't bother you?
No, not at all.
I was hoping we could get close soon.
What do you say? Let's have dinner together this evening.
Oh, today won't work. I have to do something important.
What do you have to do?
Well...
My dad's girlfriend invited me over for dinner.
Your dad's girlfriend?
Your dad has a girlfriend?
Yes.
She's my art teacher. She's such a wonderful person.
She always takes such good care of me, like my mom would.
Oh, I really have to get going now.
Thank you for everything today, ma'am.
All right.
Oh, no! Gosh, I'm sorry.
My gosh.
It's okay. It'll dry quickly anyway.
I'm sorry.
Oh, ma'am.
"Lee Sun Ju?"
Is your name...
Lee Sun Ju?
Yes, that's right.
My mom's name is Lee Sun Ju too.
How could you look just like my mom and have the same name too?
Jan Di.
The truth is...
I am...
your mother.
(Apple of My Eye)
Punch in your number before someone shows up and interrupts us.
I get that you are her brother,
but you can't force her.
- What did you say? You little... - Stop!
Kang San! You need to see this.
This phone costs over 1,000 dollars.
Geum Jan Di, where did you get this phone?
I don't know this number.
You bought my daughter a cell phone.
Hello?
Hello? Are you there?
