These are for you, Grandfather.
What are those?
These are...
hand massage balls. You can roll them in your hand like this.
Oh, I see.
Let me try.
Here you go.
Oh, nice. This feels very good.
I needed something like these.
My, they fit your hands perfectly.
Where did you get them, Soo Ji?
Well... Actually...
I made these for Grandpa to do a hand exercise.
I'll give them to Grandpa.
I thought a hand exercise would be good for you, Grandfather.
So I made them by myself.
You made those by yourself?
Yes, I made them.
You're the only one who cares about me, Soo Ji.
Of course.
Come in.
Sir, your caregiver is here.
- Okay. - Let him in, please.
Yes, ma'am.
Please come in.
Welcome.
Hello. I'm Geum Kang San...
Sir.
Have a seat. Soo Ji, can you move aside?
Sure.
- I'm surprised. - I know.
Thank you for helping me yesterday.
I was so out of it...
that I couldn't even thank you properly.
I can't believe you're the chairman I'll take care of.
I couldn't even imagine this.
Mr. Geum, you cross paths with our family again like this in the end.
To maintain a good relationship with you all,
I'll take care of Mr. Hwang with sincerity.
I wonder if we'll make a good relationship...
or become enemies.
I heard briefly about you,
but since you'll work in my house for me, I'll ask you a few more questions.
Of course. You can ask me anything you want to know.
I heard you had been raised by your grandmother.
Why wasn't your mother around?
My mother...
abandoned me as soon as she gave birth to me.
And I heard she had passed away soon after that.
Then...
what did your father do for a living?
My father wandered from place to place without having a regular job.
But my grandmother took me under her wing.
Chan Ran.
You should've checked on his family before hiring him.
Father.
Grandfather places the highest value on the family the person is from...
when he sees someone.
This is not good.
It's true that I had a single parent.
My father was too young to take responsibility for a child.
So he left me with my grandmother.
But my grandmother never gave up on me.
She did her very best to raise me well.
It's true...
that my life has been hard.
But I always tried to live with a clear conscience and confidence.
Please give me just one chance.
He's right, Father. You should at least give him a chance.
Kang San was quite lucky.
It's amazing how he got the job as the chairman's caregiver after all.
You don't get lucky for free.
Because he always helped others and did good things,
he got lucky this time.
What's gotten into you? You never complimented him.
You were always mean to him.
My gosh. Hey, when was I so mean to him?
You never say nice things...
- Welcome. Oh, my. - Hello.
Hey, Ho Sik. You're here.
Yes.
Hey, Ye Ju, have you decided to work here instead of getting an office job?
Whether or not I get an office job, mind your own business.
And stay away from Kang San.
He and I are best friends.
We've been best friends since grade school.
Then can't I come here to see him?
It's because you keep talking him into doing something stupid.
You always ask him to hang out with you to meet girls.
Ho Sik, you should start saving money...
so that you can get married soon.
I mean, your sister got a divorce. Look how she's living now.
Your parents moved to the countryside to live a peaceful life,
but apparently, they can't sleep at night because they're worried about you two.
- Goodness, you. - Oh, man. Here she goes again nagging me.
I don't know how Kang San puts up with this.
- Oh, gosh. - Oh, right.
Did Kang San go somewhere?
Yes.
Kang San got a new job.
What? He got a new job?
Ms. Ok.
You don't meet Jan Di's father outside of work anymore, right?
Pardon me?
I mean, you got involved in Jan Di's affairs several times.
Oh, that's true.
Now that Jan Di takes classes at our academy,
you should be very careful.
The students' mothers get jealous so easily.
If a teacher pays more attention to a kid than to the others...
or meets the kid's parent privately,
we'd be bombarded with complaints.
So make sure not to do anything that would cause a misunderstanding.
Especially, you'd better keep a distance from the students' parents.
I'll bear that in mind.
Ho Rang!
I told you not to call me "Ho Rang."
You should address me as the director.
Of course, Director Jang.
Kang San got a new job.
Really?
That's great news. Where does he work?
He works at the house of the chairman of Hwang Dong Food.
My goodness. It's a very large, good company.
And he works at the chairman's house?
Ms. Ok, you know Hwang Dong Food too, right?
Of course, I know.
I must say,
Kang San is so competent.
Right, Ho Sik?
You shouldn't call me "Ho Sik."
Please call me "Manager Jang."
Manager Jang.
Invite Jan Di's father to our house later in the evening.
We should celebrate this with him.
Oh, right. Ms. Ok, you should come too.
Well... I don't think I should join you.
Come on. Why? It's not like you don't know Kang San.
Let's have a party together.
You're making Ms. Ok uncomfortable.
We've known Kang San...
since we were little kids.
But Ms. Ok will be so uncomfortable hanging out with us.
Right, Ms. Ok?
You're right. I think I'll pass.
I'll cook a lot of Korean beef for my dear Kang San.
I'll buy chuck flap tail.
Or rib eye?
Father, please eat.
It's best to start with a side dish that's easy to digest...
such as seasoned vegetables.
Yes.
Great job, Mr. Geum.
Do you think this is funny?
Clear the table!
Father, don't be ridiculous. He's just helping you eat.
Didn't you hear me telling you to take the food away? Do it now!
Yes, sir. I'll take the food away right now.
But... My goodness.
He actually took the food away just because Father said so...
when he didn't eat any.
Oh, boy.
Oh, no.
You managed to bring the food out before he flipped the table.
He has never asked for others' help his entire life.
But now he can't even eat by himself.
Ma'am.
Do you happen to have some plates that aren't made of ceramic?
Sir, I prepared the food again.
My gosh. What is this, Mr. Geum?
Jun Pyo used this plate when he was in kindergarten.
Even if he drops the plate by mistake,
it won't break. So he won't have to worry about it.
Please eat, sir.
I'll wait from a distance.
What did Grandpa say?
Grandfather won't let that classless jerk keep working for him, you know.
Just wait and see. He'll be kicked out soon.
My gosh. I'm just speechless.
He served food on the plate...
that Jun Pyo used as a kid for Grandfather.
My goodness.
He finished all the food.
Hold on. I'll call you back.
What?
Grandfather finished all the food?
When it was served on this childish plate?
I had no choice but to use a kids' plate since there were no other light plates.
Please get a set of light, unbreakable dinnerware.
I should've changed them sooner. I'll buy some immediately.
Thanks.
Excuse me, Mr. Geum.
Why are you dressed like that?
Pardon?
My daughter carefully chose this outfit for me.
Do you not like it?
As you know,
Grandfather is the owner of one of the biggest companies.
There are eyes everywhere.
Gosh, how shabby.
You have no basic sense as his caregiver.
I'm sorry.
- Mr. Geum. - Yes?
Here's the jacket you lent to my father.
I had it washed cleanly.
Oh, my. You didn't have to wash it.
Thank you so much for your kindness.
And how did you think of serving food like that?
Since Mr. Hwang seemed to have much pride,
I thought he felt uncomfortable getting help from others.
Oh, I see. To help him eat by himself,
you gave him a fork instead of chopsticks...
and served the soup in a cup to make it easy for him to eat.
Yes.
I'm his daughter, but you thought of what he needs...
more attentively than I did.
Oh, right. I made bed for him so that he could take a nap.
He said he had trouble sleeping at night.
Really?
- Father. - Yes?
Do you have trouble sleeping at night lately?
I even made mistakes that I had never made before.
It's probably because I don't have much time left to live.
Please don't say that.
Mr. Geum is here to take care of you now.
You will also...
get older and sick just like me soon.
You need someone to rely on.
So that you can vent to him about what you can't tell your children...
and share pain and sorrow with him.
You fool.
There's a reliable man who can take care of you right before you.
But you still insist on being single. I'm so frustrated.
Father.
I've been seeing Mr. Dong.
What?
Oh, my. Why didn't you tell me that sooner?
I was going to tell you after I made my decision.
Oh, that's great.
You spent enough time to think about it.
You've known him for a long time.
You two know each other so well.
No one would be surprised even if you two get married tomorrow.
Father, stop it.
Hold on. Why didn't Mr. Dong tell me this?
Father.
I'm sorry.
It wasn't that I wanted to keep it from you.
Chan Ran said it was too soon to tell you.
Does Chan Ran already have you wrapped around her finger?
I should let her.
Right now?
Yes. Understood.
Turn the car around.
Yes, sir.
Gosh. You drive me crazy.
Why did you go back there?
I didn't ask for the job.
Ms. Hwang offered me the job.
Fine. I understand that she called you because it was urgent.
But the chairman's family has a bad impression of us.
There's no way they'll be fond of you.
If you do something that makes them upset, I'll lose my job too.
I'll try harder so that I won't cause you trouble.
So don't worry and go back to work.
I heard you, Sang Soo.
Goodness.
Hello.
Who are you?
I'm Geum Kang San. I'm Mr. Hwang's caregiver.
You're the president of Hwang Dong Food, aren't you?
Do you know me?
Yes, I've read news articles about you.
My brother-in-law works at Hwang Dong Food as well.
He must be Assistant Manager Eun Sang Soo of the planning team.
But why are you here?
I heard that they had decided not to hire...
the one that Mr. Eun recommended because of his family.
You're here.
I'll explain.
I won't say anything since Mr. Hwang approved of it.
But I think you should keep an eye on him.
He'll likely cause trouble considering his background.
I'll take care of the matter. You don't have to worry about it.
How can I not worry about it?
Your problems are mine now.
Is that right?
What did your father say?
He was happy to hear about us, right?
I don't know.
You fools.
You've lived as single until now.
And now you two are getting married when you have so many gray hairs?
I'm sorry, Mr. Hwang.
But I'm so relieved that Chan Ran finally...
opened her heart to me as I wished desperately.
I know how stubborn my daughter can be.
She may seem tenderhearted,
but she's actually as stubborn as a mule.
Once she makes her decision,
even I can't change her mind even though I'm her father.
Father, please stop it.
Anyway, you resolved my biggest concern.
Seeing that you changed her mind,
you are really something.
I'm a good judge of character.
I'm flattered.
I'm so happy...
that Chan Ran will have...
such a reliable husband like you.
After becoming part of our family,
if you could lead the company until Jae Hyun, the troublemaker,
establishes himself in the company, there would be nothing I could ask for.
Please don't worry, sir.
Since my last wish has come true...
before I die,
I think I can die in peace now.
Father.
Right.
We have to celebrate this happy day.
Let's have a drink at a nice place, okay?
Father, you're not even well.
Having a drink in a good mood is good for the health.
Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Dong?
I agree, sir. But please promise me you will drink just a little.
Okay.
Sook Hee, Ju Hyuk looks...
more fabulous now, right?
(Jung Sook Hee, born May 4, 1968, died September 17, 2005)
Poor you.
You can't see how well your son grew up.
Why did you have to leave so soon?
Mom...
was deeply heartbroken.
She couldn't eat well...
or sleep well.
But Father didn't even stay by her side on her deathbed.
Your dad was really busy, you know.
He had no affection for Mom.
Yes, Kyu Chul. Where are you?
What?
You can't cancel it so suddenly like this.
I mean, it's her death anniversary.
Oh, no. Well...
You should at least stop by...
to see Sook Hee just for a moment.
My father has plans for tonight, so you can go home now.
Yes.
Well... Then what should I do tomorrow?
You can keep working here.
Thank you. I'll work hard.
Here are my father's medical history and the things you should know about him.
I see. I'll use the information to take care of Mr. Hwang.
Oh, right. You must've made a good impression on my daughter.
- Pardon? - When we discussed whether to hire you,
my daughter Mi Rae spoke highly of you.
That helped me make my decision.
Oh, I see.
(Bus Stop, Hongin Market)
Thank you!
When we discussed whether to hire you,
my daughter Mi Rae spoke highly of you.
That helped me make my decision.
Ms. Ok helped Jan Di too.
I'm so grateful to her.
My brother-in-law almost got fired?
Didn't you hear what happened?
He didn't say that when I spoke to him on the phone in the afternoon.
Apparently, a lot of things happened when it was his first day.
I'm sorry. I'll talk to him so that he won't cause trouble again.
All right. You can leave for the day too.
Yes, sir. Then I'll see you tomorrow.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Oh, I forgot.
All right.
Dad, congratulations.
Thank you, daughter.
We're celebrating his first day at a new job.
But we don't have any party food.
Hey, why are you complaining about the food while eating?
I worked hard to prepare the food.
You just put the side dishes left at your store.
The side dishes don't matter.
Mother can keep her business going.
And I can pay Jan Di's academy fee now.
I'd feel full even if I don't eat any.
- I feel the same way. - Look at her.
Can I go to my room to watch Pink Blue's performance?
I gave up on becoming a singer,
but I'm still a fan of theirs.
All right. Then I'll root for them too.
Okay. That's great.
Thank you for the food.
You're welcome.
Oh, wait. Dad, congratulations again.
Right.
I love you, Dad.
Oh, my.
- I love you too. - Goodness.
Oh, my. Look at her acting cute.
Kang San.
Did the mother of Jan Di's classmate...
not say anything to you?
Sorry?
The chairman's granddaughter-in-law.
Didn't she say anything?
Well... I'm okay with it.
But I'm worried about how Jan Di will react when I tell her about it.
Right. She'll feel embarrassed if she finds out...
that her dad works at her classmate's house.
Besides, she had a fight with that boy.
But it's not like Kang San did something wrong.
Should you be worried about that?
Kids around Jan Di's age are emotionally sensitive.
Kang San, how about we don't tell Jan Di?
Gosh, no. If she finds out while we're keeping it from her,
she'd be hurt emotionally even more.
I'll tell her at the right timing.
Ju Hyuk, dinner is ready.
I'm sorry.
Jae Hyun just asked me to come over for dinner.
Were you speaking to him just now?
Yes.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry for making you eat alone.
That's okay. You're leaving Korea this weekend.
You should meet Jae Hyun before leaving.
Then I'll get going.
I might be late, so don't wait up.
Okay. Get there safely and have a good time.
Okay.
Have fun.
- Bye, Auntie Kyu Sun. - Bye.
Poor me.
Looks like I'm going to eat alone again.
My goodness. It looks much better than Mother's food.
Maybe because you're not blood-related to this family,
you're good with hands.
You're so dexterous.
That's a compliment, right?
Well... Of course. It's a compliment.
Oh, right. Did you give Grandpa the wooden balls I made for him?
Sorry?
Oh, of course, I gave him.
I can put these on the table, right?
Yes, Soo Ji.
Let's take a look. Oh, my.
Mi Rae, you cooked up a feast.
Ju Hyuk likes japchae so much.
No.
You could've met him outside.
Why did you invite him to our house? It's such a hassle.
I mean, Grandpa and Mom went out together after a long time.
And Ju Hyuk is in Korea now, so I thought...
we could use it as a chance to have a home party.
Right, Mi Rae?
I haven't seen Ju Hyuk in a long time.
By the way, you said Mr. Geum would be fired today.
How did he manage to keep his job?
He's unbelievably sly.
He won Grandfather over.
Oh, my. He did?
The housekeeper said...
that he did a great job in helping Grandpa eat.
Oh, right. Soo Ji, shall I put some japchae on another plate?
Sure, whatever.
By the way, you could've let the housekeeper cook.
Why did you cook by yourself?
Well... Actually...
I mean, she should rest at home.
Mi Rae.
Do you still have a crush on Ju Hyuk?
What?
She likes Ju Hyuk?
You didn't know?
Mi Rae used to follow him around.
She liked Ju Hyuk more than me.
Oh, I see. I didn't know that.
Jae Hyun, why would you talk about it? I was a little kid back then.
You don't have a crush on him now, do you?
Come on. Soo Ji, don't be silly.
I'll go in without her.
Have a little chat with her, okay?
Sorry?
I can tell that much.
Please go in, sir.
- Okay. - Help him.
He must've been in a good mood seeing that he made a joke.
He did seem to be in a good mood.
Kyu Chul, your tie is a little...
It's a little crooked.
Won't you fix it for me?
Sorry?
It's done.
I'm sorry, Kyu Chul.
I think I was taken aback since you held me so suddenly.
No.
I shouldn't have rushed it.
The eldest son of Golden Retail.
Why don't you meet him?
You're the same.
You're the same as Father!
Hye Ri's mom works part-time at Woo Jin's mom's restaurant.
Is it that embarrassing that her mother works there?
Of course, it's embarrassing.
Ju Hyuk.
What are you doing here?
I'm going to keep you safe.
