(Regional Emergency Medical Center)
(Episode 11)
Mother, your legs must hurt. Please sit down.
I'll bring you a chair.
Are you worried about me right now?
You hit your forehead.
Oh, this?
It's only a light scratch.
I just need a good night's sleep, and it'll heal completely overnight.
The doctor said I could go home when I finished getting the IV.
- I'm fine. - You're not fine.
The doctor said you could've died of overwork.
Didn't you hear what the doctor said?
Even a healthy, young man like you could die suddenly. You heard that too.
You see, I won't die leaving Jan Di alone.
I'll live with you for a long time. So don't worry.
I said I would go to Sang Soo.
I told you to get some sleep since you had worked all night.
You always do everything the way you want.
You fainted on the street and almost died.
But I didn't die as you can see.
Because I missed being nagged by you.
Quit your nonsense.
By the way, the doctor said I should rest for a few days.
What if I lose the parcel delivery job?
How can you be worried about your work when you almost died?
Oh, my. Kang San.
Hi, Ho Rang.
My goodness.
What on earth happened?
Did you get hurt?
I fell down because I felt a little dizzy. I'm fine now.
Are you sure you're fine?
Did you go see a doctor?
Did you not get hurt anywhere else?
Goodness, Ho Rang. Stop it. Why are you flirting with my son-in-law?
He's coming from the emergency room. He's exhausted.
Are you going to work now?
Well, yes.
Kang San.
- I'll walk you home. Hold my arm. - But...
Hey, come on. Just go to work.
- Go to work. - Right. I should go.
She won't even let me go near Kang San.
My dear Kang San.
I hope it won't leave a scar on his handsome face.
(Horang Art Academy)
Ms. Ok.
You said you had a one-sided crush on someone, right?
Yes, I did. Why do you ask?
Well, I just want to give you advice from a man's perspective.
How long has it been?
I've been liking him since grade school,
so it's been about 15 years.
Fifteen years?
A one-sided crush can lead you on a rough path.
"A rough path?"
Yes, a painful and cruel path.
One of my friends called Kang San...
You know Kang San, right?
- I mean, Jan Di's father. - Yes.
He married the woman he had a one-sided crush on.
But she left him in the end.
What do you mean she left him?
I heard his wife had gone missing.
As if.
I know Sun Ju well.
I'm sure she left Kang San.
No way.
My gosh. What should I do? Hey, Ho Sik.
I'm so worried about Kang San.
I just heard that Kang San had fainted...
and had been taken to the emergency room.
You mean, Jan Di's father?
- Yes, just as I said. - Gosh.
I was worried this might happen...
when he started working the early-morning delivery job.
Then you should've stopped him!
You're the one who told me to find a job for him.
Why are you getting mad at me?
I mean, I'm just...
I'm just upset, you know.
- Lie down. - Lie down now.
- I told you to lie down. - Kang San.
I'll get a job to make money as soon as possible.
I'm sorry, Kang San. Lie down now.
I said I was fine. Why must you be like this too, Ye Ju?
Wait. Who's watching the store if both of you are home?
Don't worry about it. I closed it, but I'll go back.
No, Mother. We'll lose our customers if we close it even just for a while.
I'll go and open it again.
Kang San, do you want to faint again?
Besides, you don't have to be so anxious about it anymore.
What do you mean, Mother?
Let's close the business.
Pardon?
What do you mean by that? Close our business?
You know...
The rent went up so high.
And our business is not going well.
We can't solve the problems by just holding on to them.
You've worked so hard to maintain your business.
How can we give up and close it?
If we get through this, things will get better.
I'm not young anymore.
My food is not as good as before either.
I'm tired of smelling food all day long.
Don't say that. I know you don't mean it.
You dedicated your whole life to the business.
Then how can you close it just like this?
I promise I'll work harder.
I'll take on extra work to make enough money to pay the deposit.
And I'll revive our business too. Okay?
Listen.
You should let it go.
What if something bad happens to you because you work hard night and day...
to revive the business?
Jan Di would be devastated.
I'm still quite young, Mother. I can manage all that.
I've made my decision.
I'll close the business...
and start working as a housekeeper or at a restaurant.
If you want to keep working the delivery job, work day shifts.
Mother, please.
Do you know how worried I was earlier at the hospital?
I don't even know if my daughter is alive.
I don't want to lose my son-in-law on top of that.
- Mother, wait. - Mom.
I said I was fine. Why must Mother be like that?
Kang San, do as Mom said, okay?
You're back early.
Well... Yes.
"Golden Logistics?"
Why are you having that uniform jacket wrapped around your waist?
Soo Ji.
I mean, you know what I mean. It looks...
as if he wet his pants while peeing...
and picked up a random jacket...
I'll help you walk to your room, Father.
That's okay.
Father.
Goodness.
Soo Ji.
Did you really have to say what you thought out loud like that?
I'm sorry, Mother.
Gosh, seriously.
This is...
This is so humiliating.
I guess...
my time is almost up.
Oh, good.
Oh, my. Nice.
I'm impressed.
My goodness.
It looks golden brown. I think it's baked to perfection.
Let's taste it.
Gosh. It's really hot. Oh, my.
It's so hot.
Wait.
Should I sell it or not?
Right. I have a good idea. Okay.
Gosh, it's so hot.
Oh, dear. Goodness.
Gosh. I used to sell out all the food as soon as I made it.
When my regular customers complimented me on my food,
it cheered me up so much that I didn't even feel tired.
What's the point of thinking about the past?
I should let it go for Kang San's sake.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
- Hello, ma'am. - Welcome...
What brings you here?
Well... I brought you some bread.
I baked it.
Please tell me honestly how it tastes.
- You want me to taste it? - Yes.
Here. Come on. Please try it now.
My goodness. You're even asking me a favor like this.
My gosh.
It tastes like flour.
Do you really sell this?
I haven't sold any yet.
Oh, my. Look at that. What is this?
Packaging matters.
Rice cakes taste better when they're packed neatly.
If they're in a plastic bag like this, they won't attract any customers.
My goodness. Why would you nitpick at me?
It's much better than this bread...
that looks nice, but tastes bad.
Come on. I wasn't nitpicking at you.
I gave you a piece of advice to help you since I'm a business owner too.
Nonsense. I don't need your advice. Just leave now.
Go on. I'm going to close my business.
So go and mind your own business.
Wait. Why are you closing it?
- Leave. - Is something going on?
- Leave. I said, get out. - Hey. Just wait...
- Leave now. - My gosh.
- Come on. - Go.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
I already had enough to worry about. Why did she add to it?
Gosh, I still have the taste of flour in my mouth.
Where's water?
Hey, it's one of the top agencies. Of course, it's hard.
Still, you're a trainee at the agency. I'm jealous.
I have to practice drawing, which is so boring.
What?
You saw the Pink Blue members at your dance studio?
When will they come again?
Jan Di is in class right now. Talk to her later, okay?
Gosh. You have such bad manners.
Were you using your phone during a class because you have good manners?
Why aren't you drawing anything?
There. Happy now?
What is it? A circle?
Yes. You told me to draw anything I wanted.
It's crooked here.
Did you think drawing a circle would be easy? Try again.
- Good day, Ms. Ok. - You too.
Hi, Jan Di. You're here.
Hello.
Is your dad okay? He's not picking up his phone.
What's wrong with my dad?
Oh, no. I guess he didn't tell you.
I heard he had gone to the emergency room.
He went to the emergency room?
Where's Dad? I heard he was sick.
You caused him so much grief.
Are you even worried about him?
Is he in his room now?
Don't go in there. He's sleeping now. Leave him alone.
Jan Di.
I heard you fainted earlier today.
Are you feeling better now?
I told Ye Ju not to tell you.
I'm fine.
Now that I see your face, I feel so energetic.
You're lying.
Your face still looks so pale.
Really?
You worked the night shift even when you got a nosebleed.
Are you stupid, Dad?
Gosh. I'm so upset.
Oh, my. Jan Di, you're nagging me...
as harshly as your grandma does.
How can you make a joke right now?
When I heard you had gone to the emergency room,
I was so scared.
It's not an unusual thing to happen in life.
I know that.
I was afraid that I might lose you too.
Jan Di, don't worry.
I promise I won't leave you alone.
How can I not worry about you when you fainted?
I can't live without you, Dad.
Listen. You should let it go.
What if something bad happens to you because you work hard night and day...
to revive the business?
Jan Di would be devastated.
Father, I brought you some sungnyung.
Why didn't you eat some more?
I'm so embarrassed that you had to see me like that.
Please don't say that. It happened because of your illness.
When it happened earlier, I was so out of it...
that I couldn't even thank the young man.
I mean, he helped me in a way that I wouldn't feel embarrassed.
I know that man, Father.
What?
You do?
Yes.
(Golden Logistics)
Grandpa was covering himself with this jacket? Is that it?
Oh, boy. Grandpa, who has always been upright and strict with himself,
embarrassed himself like that in the restroom at the company building.
He must've been so dumbfounded.
Fortunately, no one else but Mother saw him.
I'm grateful to the person who gave him this jacket.
Grandpa must've been even more flustered if it hadn't been for him.
I should find a new caregiver...
before things get worse.
Honey.
I don't think hiring a caregiver is good enough now.
Then what should we do?
You know what we should do.
We should send him to a long-term care hospital.
- What? - Soo Ji.
What? Why are you guys so surprised?
If we send him to a well-equipped facility,
he'll be provided with professional care...
and feel more comfortable than he does at home.
And our family can put our worries to rest.
- Oh, is that so? - Of course.
Then we should find a facility that provides the best quality care.
Then I'll call Mr. Eun right now.
Wait, Jae Hyun.
Grandpa went to the office...
for the first time since we found out about his illness.
I'm sure he made a mistake because he was nervous.
And the doctor said he could control his symptoms with medication.
If we pay a little more attention to him,
he won't have any problems living here with us.
Mi Rae.
Don't you think...
Jae Hyun and I care more about Grandfather than you do...
since Jae Hyun is his blood related grandson?
Don't you think so, honey?
Well... I guess you're right.
Also, I thought long and hard...
to come up with the best solution for Grandfather.
I'm not suggesting we send him to a long-term care hospital...
because I don't want to take care of him.
But...
- Mom. - Mom.
- Mother. - Hey.
I'm glad you are all here.
I found a caregiver for your grandpa.
So don't worry anymore.
Really? Where did you find the caregiver?
I found the perfect person for the job.
Oh, gosh. We have so much stuff in here.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
My back hurts. Gosh.
Goodness, you. I told you to rest. Why did you come out?
Well... Mother.
Why are you looking at me like that?
If you're going to say nonsense again, go back home.
I have a lot of work to do.
I'll give up on the business.
What?
What did you just say?
I said we should close the business.
Do you mean that?
What you said is right.
I must stay healthy to take care of Jan Di.
For Jan Di's sake,
I won't overwork myself.
Right. Okay. You made the right decision.
I really wanted...
to help you keep this business going.
I'm so sorry, Mother.
Don't say that.
You should focus on raising Jan Di. Nothing else matters.
That's good enough for me.
Look at the finger marks on this cauldron.
- It's all glossy now. - What?
This is very old, right?
This one?
I bought this when I opened up the store.
So I've used it for more than 30 years.
On the opening day, I made soup in this.
I was so afraid.
I thought, "What if no one buys this soup?"
When a customer came back to buy my food,
I was so grateful and happy to see the customer again.
You must be so sad...
to close your business.
Sorry?
Well... I'm sad and relieved at the same time.
Oh, right. By the way,
no one would use this even if I gave it away for free, right?
Are you going to throw out this cauldron too?
I won't use it anymore. I should throw all these out. What can I do with them?
But still, you can't...
What? They will only take up space.
- But this cauldron... - Kang San.
Why did you come to the store, leaving your phone at home?
Thank you, Ye Ju.
Answer it. It's been ringing for a while.
Okay.
Hello?
Hello, ma'am.
Really?
Thank you.
Then I'll go to your house tomorrow.
Yes.
Mother.
- Mother. - Yes?
Come on, Kang San. What was that about?
Hey.
What's going on? Tell us.
We...
don't have to close the business.
What?
Mother, I really hate his guts.
It's already been decided.
Mr. Geum will start working tomorrow, and Father approved of it too.
Right, Soo Ji.
Jan Di's father... I mean, if it hadn't been for Mr. Geum,
Grandpa would've been in big trouble.
Mother.
Please reconsider it just once.
Think about his awful family.
How could you hire a person like that?
Honey, you're against it too, right?
- Come on. - What?
Right. I mean, I'm not so happy with the idea, but...
Honey, what are we going to do?
I mean, he even took off his clothes to help Grandpa.
Jae Hyun, why are you being like this too?
That jerk just did Grandfather a mere kindness.
"A mere kindness?"
Not everyone can be kind enough to do that in a situation like that.
He's a right-minded and kind man.
Do not call him a jerk again.
Call him "Mr. Geum" with respect. Do you understand?
"With respect?"
Yes, Mother.
Hey, Soo Ji.
Since it's been decided,
let's accept it, okay?
Mom, you made the right decision.
Right. Thank you for saying that.
It's been a while.
Have you been well?
When I went to the US and called you,
you didn't even agree to see me.
What has gotten into you?
Are you feeling unbearably lonely again?
Maybe.
(Ok Mi Rae)
Hi, Mi Rae.
Ju Hyuk, I heard you came back to Korea.
Why didn't you call me?
I'm just visiting.
If you're free this weekend,
would you like to go to an art exhibition with me?
An art exhibition?
I'm sorry, but I'm leaving this weekend.
Oh, then let's have some tea instead at your convenience.
Mi Rae, I'm meeting someone now. Let's talk later.
Oh, okay. Bye, Ju Hyuk.
I guess he doesn't want to see me.
I'm upset.
What are you doing?
Why did you take all my clothes out of the closet?
Today is your first day at work.
I have to make sure you dress properly.
You don't have many nice outfits,
but this one is the most stylish.
I'm so happy that my daughter...
chose an outfit for me.
I heard they were so rich. Dad, don't get intimidated, okay?
I'll never be intimidated.
Since my daughter cheers for me, I feel so confident.
- I've got this. - You can do it.
- I can do it. - Don't get intimidated.
Will you go to the columbarium in that outfit?
I have another outfit at my office.
Where's Ju Hyuk?
He must still be in bed. He came home late last night.
By the way, aren't you going to go to your bakery?
Well... I'll close it for today since it's an important day.
By the way, Kyu Chul.
Why don't you tell Ju Hyuk about you and Chan Ran first?
Why would you bring that up again?
You know how quick he is at catching on to things.
He'd be shocked if he found out before you told him.
You should tell him first so that he can understand.
Today is his mother's death anniversary.
I think I'll feel bad if I pretend I don't know about it when I visit her.
You must always take the right steps and do things in order.
We haven't even told Chairman Hwang yet.
So make sure not to tell anyone.
What should she keep a secret?
You two must share a secret.
Can't you share it with me too?
Oh, actually, your dad is worried that I might tell others...
that I'm the sister of the president of Hwang Dong Food...
while I work at my bakery.
I'm quite chatty, you know.
Oh, I see.
Father, you look even more fabulous than before.
Are you seeing someone?
Don't make unnecessary remarks like that.
Hey... I'll see you at the columbarium in the afternoon.
Buy. Have a nice day.
Ju Hyuk, shall we start preparing too?
- Okay. - Get ready.
Hi, Soo Ji.
Do you feel better now?
You must be happy that it turned out the way you wanted it to.
I just don't understand how you trust someone...
who runs a side dish store...
enough to leave Grandfather with him.
Mr. Geum took care of his sick grandmother before...
and is a certified caregiver.
Don't worry too much, Soo Ji.
By the way, what is that?
Oh, this?
This is a hand massage ball.
I made it for Grandpa to do a hand exercise.
I'm going to give it to Grandpa.
He's in the shower now.
Oh, I see. Then can you give this to him...
when he's out?
Sure.
Thank you, Soo Ji. I'll get going now.
Okay.
What is this? It looks like a toy for kids.
It's stunningly childish.
Wait.
Mother's name Chan Ran means "stunning."
(Pyeongchang 29-gil)
Even with the energy that Jan Di gave me,
I'm getting nervous.
This won't work.
Here we go. In 1, 2, 3, 4.
Let's have an exciting, fun day. I can do it! Yes, I can!
I can do it!
Hello, Mr. Geum.
Hello.
This is what Jan Di and I do together.
I was so nervous since it was my first day.
So I tried to cheer myself up.
I see.
Thank you for helping my grandpa.
It's my job, you know.
My grandpa may come across as intimidating when you meet him for the first time,
but he has a warm heart.
He probably looks expressionless because of muscle stiffness...
caused by Parkinson's disease.
Is that so?
His hands shake even more lately.
I'll pay extra attention to him.
So don't worry about him and get going.
Then please take good care of my grandpa.
- Of course. - Thank you.
She's a good granddaughter.
She must be the apple of his eye.
I'll take care of you with sincerity.
Whether or not I get a job, mind your own business.
Stay away from me.
Grandfather won't let that classless jerk keep working for him.
He'll likely cause trouble considering his background.
You should've checked on his family before hiring him.
Clear the table!
