(Episode 20)
Where is Kang San? It's getting late.
He went out to distribute the flyers for the store.
Mom, the store isn't doing well.
We're in deep trouble if Kang San actually quits the job.
We need money to pay the security deposit.
What can we do though?
Jan Di, that stubborn girl, hates it so much.
It's a great job that pays well.
It'll be very hard for him to find another job like that. He should...
try to persuade Jan Di so he can keep the job.
He needs money,
but he doesn't want to hurt his child.
Mom, have you forgotten already?
He nearly killed himself,
working the night shifts for the logistics company.
If he quits, he'll have to resort to another labor-intensive job.
Am I wrong?
You are right, but...
I'm stepping out.
What? Jan Di. It's getting late. Where do you need to go?
The convenience store.
Hey, I'll come with you.
It's dangerous to step out alone now.
No, it's okay. I'll just go alone.
- What? - See you later, Grandma.
What? Hey.
- Wait, Jan Di! - Gosh, leave her be.
It's okay. It's just across the street.
It looks like she wants to step out alone to get some air.
Just sit down.
I kept calling you, but you didn't pick up. I was worried.
You must've been so upset earlier.
You said you wanted to talk to me.
It's okay. Go ahead and talk.
I really don't like that my dad works for your family.
It's embarrassing enough that he works for your family,
but Jun Pyo is there too.
Are you worried Jun Pyo would tell everyone?
Don't worry about that.
He promised me he'd keep it to himself.
That brat? Really?
Anyway, that is not why I wanted to see you today.
Really?
Then what did you want to talk to me about?
Earlier, Jun Pyo said...
that my dad...
did everything his mother told him to do.
My dad...
He's being picked on, isn't he?
He's being picked on?
I bet Jun Pyo's mother is deliberately being mean to my dad...
because I fought with Jun Pyo in the past. Am I wrong?
Jan Di, are you just worried about your dad?
Gosh.
What, then? Did you think I called you here because I missed you?
I see.
I didn't know.
Dad has to earn money to support me and the family,
so he's putting up with Jun Pyo's mother being mean to him.
It makes me so angry.
Right.
Jun Pyo's mother was against the decision to hire your dad as a caregiver.
And I won't deny that they butted heads a little.
However, your dad is doing such a great job.
And thanks to him, my grandfather's health has dramatically improved.
And that's why everyone in my family is truly grateful to him.
Really?
Yes, really.
Whatever your father does, he does a great job.
Jan Di.
You know that better than anybody else does. Am I wrong?
(Building 5)
I'm telling you. Jan Di and I were completely shocked.
Jan Di was shocked...
to find out that her dad had been working for her friend's family.
As for me, I was totally shocked when I found out...
that Ms. Ok's family owned Hwang Dong Food.
I understand why Jan Di is shocked.
But don't you think you're overreacting?
What's wrong with Kang San working for Ms. Ok's family?
I'm hurt because he didn't tell me.
He should have told us.
I'm sure he kept it to himself to help protect Ms. Ok's privacy.
Anyway, Kang San and Ms. Ok...
So they must see each other every day.
Gosh. Why does Kang San have to work for her family?
You're worried about them running into each other every day?
Yes.
No.
She teaches his daughter, you know.
I'm just worried Kang San would be uncomfortable.
Why are you worried about that?
Just worry about yourself, sister.
Shut it.
Gosh, seriously.
What?
The tenant wants me to redo the wallpaper and flooring?
Yes, landlords usually take care of stuff like that.
There's mold on the wallpaper.
Well, I'm not saying I won't do it.
The move-in date is just around the corner.
Anyway, all right.
Could you find a handyman who can take care of it?
Thank you.
What should I do?
I need to move out before I can redo the wallpaper and flooring.
Should I move into Mother's place tomorrow?
I don't know.
I wanted to hold out for as long as I could.
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Oh, Mr. Kim.
You're still here.
Hello. Were you out looking for your wife again?
No, these are flyers for my store.
It looks like I need to quit my side job,
so I'm giving out these flyers to promote my business.
I see. What was your side job?
Well... You don't need to know.
Hey, brother.
Sorry?
I can call you like that, right?
I manage the shopkeeper co-op,
and we're all like brothers.
Sure, you can call me like that if you'd like.
Good night, brother.
You too. Good night.
Yes.
But...
why is he still here?
And what's with the toiletries he was holding?
Kyu Chul, enough is enough.
Chan Ran already made up her mind, so it's game over now.
It's none of your business.
Well, my point is...
Just accept it and let them get married. What can you do?
Who says I'll let that happen?
Once Ju Hyuk returns to the US, everything will go back to how it should be.
Did you not hear?
Ju Hyuk is leaving the US branch.
He'll join the head office.
Ju Hyuk will join the head office?
Yes.
How come Jan Di isn't joining us?
Jan Di thinks we deceived her. She's mad at us.
She hasn't said a word to me since she woke up.
She's just very upset, Ye Ju.
Let's just leave her be for now.
Anyway,
if you quit,
Sang Soo might get in trouble. I'm worried.
Mom, seriously!
You only care about Sang Soo.
I'll explain the situation to them so that Sang Soo won't get in trouble.
Don't worry too much, Mother.
All right, you should.
- Jan Di, come and eat. - My gosh.
Yes, Jan Di. You'll be late for school. Hurry up and eat.
Come and join us.
Yes, good girl.
Well... Jan Di.
As soon as I arrive at Chairman Hwang's place this morning,
I'll tell them that I've decided to quit.
So don't worry.
Just eat your breakfast and go to school, okay?
Dad, I have something to tell you.
To me? You have something to tell me?
Yes.
Jan Di,
What is it? You'll be late for school.
Dad, please don't embarrass me.
Okay, I won't.
I totally understand why you're upset.
You're afraid Jun Pyo would make fun of you again because of me.
You must've been so worried.
No, it's not that.
No? Then what is it?
Be better to Jun Pyo's grandpa so I won't be embarrassed.
What?
What do you mean, what? I told you. Are you deaf?
So...
you're okay with me keeping the job?
Yes. Work very hard.
So I can brag about you in front of Jun Pyo. Okay?
What?
Are you really my daughter, Geum Jan Di?
How could you be so mature?
To tell you the truth, I saw Ms. Ok yesterday.
I asked her a bunch of questions,
so I feel better now.
Ms. Ok? What did you ask her?
You don't need to know.
I'm running late.
- I have to go. - My dear daughter.
Thank you for being so understanding.
Let me give you a hug.
You did this the last time too.
Gosh, it makes me cringe so bad.
Hey, I'm really hurt.
I'm off.
Be good. And don't fight with your friends.
Make sure you finish your lunch, okay?
Okay.
When did she become so mature?
Grandfather, I'll find a new caregiver as soon as possible.
Is Mr. Geum really quitting...
just because his daughter told him to?
Yes, I'm 200 percent sure.
That girl has quite a temper.
For real.
Besides, Mr. Geum loves his daughter very much.
If she gets upset and cries her eyes out,
he'll have no choice.
Gosh. I hope that girl, Jan Di, isn't too hurt by all this.
I know.
I hope she can understand her father's situation, Mom.
Come on, Mi Rae.
She's an eighth grader. What do you expect?
Her dad works for her classmate's family, like a servant.
Of course, she's embarrassed.
"Servant?" Who?
Well... I'm just saying, Grandfather.
What time is it now?
Look. Mr. Geum is supposed to be here by now,
but he isn't here yet.
I get that he's quitting, but he has no manners.
He didn't even call us.
Sir, I'm here!
Oh, there you are.
You're here.
- Hello. - Hello.
You're quite late. We didn't think you were coming.
Oh, I noticed Mr. Chairman's razor blade was very dull.
I wanted to pick up new ones. That's why I'm late.
I'm sorry.
Oh... Mr. Geum.
I thought you were quitting.
Me? Why would I?
I want to look after Mr. Chairman for a long time.
My gosh.
But I heard your daughter lashed out at you saying she hated it.
Yet you'll continue to work here?
Ma'am, you see...
I'm here because my daughter, Jan Di, sent me here and said to work very hard.
My daughter passionately cheered for me this morning.
- Really? - Yes.
Jan Di is so cool. Right, Mom?
Yes, that's great news.
I'm glad you decided to stay, Mr. Geum. Right, Father?
It's certainly better than going through the hassle of finding a new caregiver.
The sikhye you brought the other day was quite good.
Could I have some?
Yes. Sure thing, sir.
Hey, Geum Jan Di.
Did my aunt tell you what I said?
She said you wouldn't tell anyone about my dad working for your family.
Yes. But it all depends on how you behave yourself.
So you'd better be good to me.
I don't care, so do whatever you want.
I don't care if you tell others.
What? You really don't care?
No.
It's not like my dad is doing something bad.
Besides, I hear your grandpa absolutely needs my dad.
So I don't think it's anything to be embarrassed of.
My gosh. She's gotten so cool overnight.
This is no fun.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Father.
Can't you knock?
I heard I didn't get the marketing manager position because of you.
Did you think I wouldn't be able to join the head office if you did that?
There's no position for you at the head office.
Stop messing around and go back to the US.
I cannot do that.
Mi Rae and I have finally managed to get Ms. Hwang's permission.
Do you think I will back down easily?
Without establishing yourself here in the head office,
the two of you won't last.
Besides, Chairman Hwang isn't exactly fond of you.
I'm confident that I can persuade him.
Is that so?
Do you think he'll give up on persuading his daughter to remarry...
just because of his granddaughter who was adopted?
You still don't know what Chairman Hwang is like?
This is why I still call you a kid.
Gosh, my eyes are burning.
I know.
Mom, thank goodness Kang San didn't quit the job.
Aren't you proud of Jan Di?
She understands her father.
I know. I thought she only cared about herself.
She's a hundred times better than you.
Goodness. All you do is try to figure out how to extort money from me.
At least give me some money if you want to say that.
Gosh, you little...
Anyway, I had an amazing dream last night.
Will we get a lot of customers today?
What was the dream about?
It's a secret.
Oh, someone's calling.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Hello, thank you for calling Hong Do's Side Dishes.
Yes. The room?
That's right. It's still available.
Hey, someone is interested in the room?
Yes, that's right.
If you take the bus, it only takes a few minutes.
That's right.
Sorry? Pardon me? Built-in what?
If you want a place with built-in appliances near the subway,
look for a studio apartment.
Forget it. Look for something else!
Darn it.
Hey, what did they say?
Gosh, it won't work out.
We keep getting useless idiots.
Gosh, finding a tenant isn't easy.
We could really use the rent.
But more importantly, we need to find a good tenant.
Gosh, I don't even know.
How pretty.
(Sun Bakery)
Ms. Dong.
These just came out of the oven.
My gosh. The freshly baked bread smells so good.
I decided to open my own bakery because I love this aroma so much.
- Try one. - Sure.
Gosh, it's hot!
My gosh. You can pull it apart like a moist chicken breast.
Yes, this is it.
I'm glad you like it.
Oh, right.
My nephew interrogated you yesterday. That was rude.
I apologize.
It's okay.
You know, Ju Hyuk isn't a bad kid.
But he can be a little cranky at times.
His wife-to-be is friendly and outgoing though.
She really is perfect.
She brought me these flowers.
She never visits me empty-handed.
The subtle scent is really nice.
She is humble and pure hearted, just like these flowers.
By the way, it's awkward that I keep addressing you so politely.
I can just call you Doo Ho, right?
Sorry?
You can just call me Kyu Sun too.
No, I'd prefer to keep calling you Ms. Dong.
Oh, I see.
Well, you need more bags to wrap them.
Do we have more in the kitchen?
This will do, right?
My gosh.
Gosh.
What is this razor doing here?
Mr. Kim, is this yours?
Oh, that's...
Is it not yours?
Yes, it is mine.
The thing is, I...
I've been sleeping here at night. I'm sorry.
My goodness. Why would you sleep here?
Why?
Hello!
You have the custard bun today, right?
That's not important now.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Mr. Geum, Mr. Kim has been...
living here without telling me.
Does it make sense to you?
Brother, you've been eating and sleeping here?
Yes, I'm sorry.
I can't believe this.
I hired you because I trusted you.
How could you do this without even telling me?
This is Sun Bakery, not Sun Motel!
Well, he must've had a reason.
Ms. Dong, why don't you hear him out?
Fine. If you have something to say, say it.
I recently relocated to Seoul, so I haven't found a place to stay.
I had nowhere to go, so I...
I'm really sorry.
Gosh. Of course, you had a reason.
What? Even so.
This is my store. You can't just stay and sleep here.
Right. If you can give me some time, I'll find a place to stay.
I won't inconvenience you anymore, Ms. Dong.
Then do you have a place to sleep tonight?
Hey, brother.
There's an empty room at my place.
Why don't you come and stay in that room?
Sorry?
My gosh, Mr. Geum.
(Hwang Dong Food)
My goodness. So?
You listed your place for rent because of what I said?
Yes. I figured that was the only way...
I could afford my son's overseas tuition fees.
Mr. Eun, how long have you been living alone?
Well, I think it's already been three years.
Now that my wife is there too,
I'm struggling to support them.
Where will you live once you find a tenant?
Will you find a studio apartment for yourself?
No.
Then are you moving back in with your parents?
No, my parents live in the countryside.
Well, if that's the case...
Is he moving in with a secret girlfriend or something?
No way. He'd never have an affair because he doesn't want to waste money.
His hands shake even when he has to spend a dollar.
Exactly. He's a cheapskate.
What? Who is a cheapskate here?
Well...
The truth is, I plan to go stay with my mother-in-law.
What? You'll live with your in-laws?
My gosh. I can't even spend half a day with my in-laws.
Well, it won't exactly be comfortable.
But they have a detached room.
I plan to stay there.
I see. If it's a detached room, it won't be too bad.
That's right. I'll keep my distance, like a tenant.
I certainly can't live with my in-laws under the same roof.
(Hwang Dong Food)
This is the real estate office.
The person who can redo the wallpaper is only available this week.
If you want him to redo the flooring too,
he'll have to start this evening.
Please excuse me. I have to make a call.
Look at that. My goodness.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Sang Soo, are you serious?
In my dream,
I saw a handsome golden frog entering through our gate,
so I grabbed it.
It must've been you!
Okay, don't you worry about a thing.
Come and see us after work. Yes!
All right, bye!
This is such great news!
What's going on that you're applauding like that?
My gosh, Sang Soo will move into the room!
What? Sang Soo? Why?
He said he'd never live with his in-laws.
What has gotten into him?
Stop talking nonsense.
Just clean all the anchovies. My goodness!
Oh, my!
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Gosh! This means I won't get my commission.
Darn it.
Come on, brother. Just stay at my place.
How could I? I'd hate to inconvenience you too.
Goodness.
Mr. Kim, just listen to Mr. Geum.
It must've been very uncomfortable to sleep here.
Come to think of it, I think I was harsh on you earlier.
I reacted like that because I was so surprised.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. It's all my fault.
Ms. Dong agrees with me. Just come with me, brother.
Yes, you should.
He lives across the street,
so it'll be very easy for you to come to work.
And he'll give you a discount on the rent, so it's perfect.
That's why I feel so bad.
Gosh, just go with him.
He calls you "brother." Just go stay with him.
Right, Mr. Geum?
Yes, absolutely.
I'm an only child, and I always wanted an older brother.
Please allow me the chance to take you to my place, brother!
My gosh.
Hold on. It's always good to put it on paper.
Why don't you two sign a lease agreement?
Yes, let's do that. There's a realtor I know. Let's go there.
Perfect.
It's this way.
Come on in.
The room is small,
but it's detached, so it'll be quite comfortable.
Thank you so much.
But the deposit is so low. Are you sure it's okay?
Come on. Will you keep going on about it?
We're like brothers now.
Oh, boy.
My gosh! Kang San, you're back.
- There you are. - Yes.
Say hello. This is my mother-in-law.
Hello.
Hello. Who is he?
Oh, he's our tenant who will stay in this room from now on.
What? He'll stay here?
- Yes. - Mother!
- Yes? - I'm here!
- Oh, yes. Come on in. - Gosh, this is heavy.
- Ouch, my back. - Sang Soo!
Kang San, you're here too.
Oh. What brings you by?
And what are the suitcases for?
Well, Sang Soo will move into this room.
What? Sang Soo?
Yes.
What's wrong, Kang San? Is there a problem?
Sang Soo, what brings you by?
Sang Soo will move into this room.
Who is he?
Mr. Eun said he was moving in with his in-laws.
I hope he got there safely.
So she'll live with Mr. Geum?
Jae Hyun, did you hear anything about Ju Hyuk at work?
Someone doesn't want me to work at the head office.
Did you do something so Ju Hyuk couldn't work at the head office?
Let go. I told you to let go!
Help! This man is...
