(Episode 22)
Gosh, Sang Soo. Seriously. Please.
Jin Ju, honey, I miss you.
Now he's even asking for his wife.
Jin Ju.
- No, Sang Soo. Stop it. - Jin Ju, I miss you.
- No, Jin Ju. Don't go. - Come on, Sang Soo.
Sang Soo.
Gosh.
Looks like I'm not getting any sleep tonight.
Se Chan.
My dear son, I miss you.
He must be missing his family living in Canada.
Being a dad is hard, indeed.
Oh, man.
Kyu Chul.
I'm sorry for calling you at such a late hour.
Don't be.
It's nice to hear your voice.
I didn't avoid contacting you because I didn't want to talk to you.
I just thought you needed some time to get over the breakup.
I know that.
But I still wish I could change your mind...
and start our relationship over again.
I'm sorry.
But I can't change my mind since I made the decision...
for the sake of the kids.
Chan Ran, how about we meet up...
and talk about it again?
Kyu Chul, I don't want to talk about it anymore.
I'm calling you...
because I have something to ask you about.
By any chance, did you stop Ju Hyuk...
from being transferred to the head office intentionally?
What do you mean by that?
I'm just wondering if you did that...
to separate him from Mi Rae.
Of course, that's not the reason.
It's true that I'm against their relationship...
because of my feelings for you.
But I would never let my personal feelings affect work.
Then why did you do that?
Ju Hyuk is essential at the US branch.
And there was someone at the head office who seemed like a better fit.
I see.
He'll be away from Mi Rae if he goes back to the US.
I'm worried that they might drift apart...
while being away from each other.
Their relationship won't last long anyway.
They're young. Their passion will fizzle out soon.
I understand where you stand.
Yes. Then good night.
I'm all over the place.
- I forgot to cut this. - Oh, my. Mother.
- Yes? - You look busy so early in the morning.
Oh, good. Can you help me with this?
We're having bulgogi for breakfast?
We don't have anything to eat for breakfast.
We can just eat the leftover food.
How can I give that food to Sang Soo?
My gosh. Now that Sang Soo lives with us, the food on our table is different.
We might go bankrupt at this rate.
Why can't you care about us as much as Sang Soo?
Gosh. Shut it. Sang Soo could hear us.
Mother, shall I bring our tenant too?
Goodness. I knew you were going to say that.
Now that he lives with us, we should have breakfast with him too.
I know that. Go and tell him to come.
Mother, you're so caring.
- Did you realize that just now? - Mom is blunt, yet kind, indeed.
- Ye Ju, can you stir this for me? - Okay.
- I'll go and bring Doo Ho. - Okay.
- Here. - Okay.
My, it looks so good.
Gosh. That's so dirty, you brat.
Sang Soo would freak out if he sees that.
- Good grief. - That hurt.
They say even dogs shouldn't be bothered when they're eating.
Are you a dog?
Gosh, seriously.
- She's never helpful. - This is so good though.
- Is it not too bland or too salty? - It's good.
That's good.
Doo Ho, it's me.
Doo Ho, are you in there?
My sweetie pie, did you sleep well?
Yes, Grandma.
Good morning, Uncle Sang Soo.
Good morning.
Where's Dad? Did he go somewhere?
Yes. He went to ask our tenant to join us for breakfast.
Oh, I see.
Oh, goodness. He even provides the tenant with breakfast.
He's so nosy.
Uncle Sang Soo.
My dad is not nosy. He's very thoughtful.
Oh, my. Look at her siding with him because he's her dad.
Of course.
- Hey, why are you coming alone? - My goodness.
He must've left early. I should've told him in advance.
- Mother, give me that. I'll do it. - That's okay. Just sit down.
Okay.
By the way, Sang Soo, did you sleep comfortably in that room?
No. Since it wasn't where I used to sleep,
and Kang San kept tossing and turning, I couldn't sleep a wink.
You couldn't sleep at all?
Yes, that's what I said.
I'm so tired.
Oh, boy. What do we do?
I told you two to share the room without even knowing that.
- And he snored so loudly. - What?
Me?
I snored?
Gosh. You were so loud that I thought someone was drilling through the wall.
Uncle Sang Soo, Dad never snores.
Jan Di.
As people age,
they develop new habits naturally.
You were the one who snored loudly. And you talked so much in your sleep.
That's nonsense.
I sleep very quietly. I don't even breathe loudly.
My mom would come into my room while I was sleeping...
to see if I was breathing by putting her finger under my nose.
How dare you tell such a lie?
But... Gosh, seriously.
Well... It seems to me that Kang San is the one...
who couldn't sleep, not you.
Look how deep your dad's dark circles are.
Exactly.
His skin looks so dry too.
Are you okay, Dad?
I'm okay.
I'll just set the table. Ye Ju, help me.
Okay, Kang San.
- Oh, my. I'm so hungry. - Let's go.
Kang San, can you hurry up?
Oh, dear. I should help him too.
Would it be okay to go in?
What's wrong?
Do you not like the food?
Well...
I can't seem to eat much.
Oh, no. You shouldn't go to work on an empty stomach.
Hey, why don't you try some meat?
- No. Rather than this kind of food, - Yes?
it'd be nice to have an egg toast that has a lot of vegetables in it...
with coffee and juice for breakfast.
My gosh. She worked hard to cook. You want her to make a toast too?
That's okay. How hard could that be?
I can make an egg toast if Sang Soo wants it for breakfast.
Sang Soo, if you want an egg toast, just let me know.
I'll make it for you.
You will?
Yes.
Well, then...
use unsalted butter...
and don't put in any onions. It makes my breath smell bad.
Unsalted butter and no onions. Okay. Got it.
I'll make it delicious.
- Why should you do that for him? - What?
Is anyone home?
Hey, Doo Ho.
I went to your room to fetch you. Please come in.
That's okay.
Oh, and this is for you.
What is this?
You brought us bread? Oh, my. It's a lot.
Thank you.
You haven't had breakfast yet, right?
Mother made enough food for all of us including you. Come on in.
I'm good. I'll get going now.
Wait. Please come in and join us. I'll bring you rice and soup.
- Come on in. - Please join us, Doo Ho. Come on.
Well... I hope I'm not inconveniencing you.
Nonsense. This is how people bond with each other. Right, Mother?
Sorry? You're right.
I wonder if it suits your palate.
Let me know if it's too bland.
- Okay. - Okay.
Mother, I'm off to work.
- Okay. Have a nice day. - Okay.
Thank you for letting me use the room.
Don't worry about it. And I'm telling you in advance.
You won't be able to renew your lease.
I understand.
Sang Soo, you can say that when his lease is up.
You should clarify things like that from the start, Kang San.
He has no idea how the world works. I'm off.
- Okay. Have a good day. - See you later, Sang Soo.
- Have a good day, Uncle Sang Soo. - Bye.
Please sit.
I'll go to school now.
- Okay. - Go on.
Oh, right.
Mr. Kim.
Can I take a look at the bread?
Of course, you can. I brought it for you.
Oh, my. He brought custard buns that I like.
Can I take a few to school?
Of course. Go ahead.
And come by anytime. I'll give you some bread every day.
Are you serious? Thank you so much.
Oh, no. You don't have to do that, Doo Ho.
Jan Di, give me one too.
Okay. Here.
- Oh, my. - It looks good.
There's loaf bread too, Auntie Ye Ju.
Oh, my. That's great.
We can make an egg toast for Sang Soo with that.
Shall we, Mother?
- Yes. - Well...
What else is in the bag?
I'm so excited.
Mi Rae.
Hey, Mom.
Why didn't you eat breakfast?
Are you feeling unwell?
I just don't have much appetite.
Is it because you're upset about Ju Hyuk not transferring to the head office?
Mom, why did President Dong give the position to someone else?
He said he had no choice because that employee was a better fit.
Hey, Mi Rae.
Why don't we invite Ju Hyuk over for a meal?
Oh, shall we?
Excuse me for a second.
Oh, it's Ju Hyuk.
Perfect timing. Ask him when he could come over.
Okay.
Hi, Ju Hyuk.
Really?
I was going to ask her if I could visit your family.
How about dinner tonight?
Tonight?
Why?
Is it too sudden?
I want to meet your family as soon as possible.
My, it's so refreshing.
It's good, right?
Good morning.
Good morning, Ju Hyuk. Come and sit.
You must be hungry.
- Right? - Yes, Auntie Kyu Sun.
By the way, what was that about? It went on for so long.
Father.
Why?
Ms. Hwang invited me for dinner.
I don't think you should go because Chairman Hwang is upset.
No. I think I should meet him often to win him over.
Stop it, you guys. Just eat your food, okay?
Ju Hyuk, try this.
I tried a new recipe. Taste it, okay?
- Shall I? - Yes.
- Kyu Chul, you should try this too. - It's good.
Oh, my. Jun Pyo looks so elegant just like me, right, Mother?
I agree, Soo Ji. By the way, Jun Pyo, about Mr. Geum's daughter...
You mean, Jan Di? What about her?
Right, Jan Di. I want you to get along well with her.
Do not make fun of her because her father works here, okay?
Jun Pyo already promised he wouldn't do that.
Right, Jun Pyo?
Yes, I guess.
Oh, please, Mother.
Jun Pyo is too busy to care about a girl like her.
Jun Pyo, you should go to school now. Mr. Kim is waiting for you.
- I'll get going now. - Okay.
- Have a nice day, Jun Pyo. - See you later.
Mr. Kim, I'm here.
Oh, you're here.
- Hello. - Yes. How was the room at Jan Di's house?
Well... It was nice. The landlady made me breakfast too.
She made you breakfast?
I'm surprised. She seemed so mean to me.
Oh, right. I gave them some bread.
I'll pay for the ingredients.
You're so thorough when it comes to money matters.
By the way, Doo Ho.
Since we're working together, I can call you by your first name, right?
Well... Sure.
Also, I'm a little upset.
Had you told me about your situation,
I would've helped you find a place to stay.
I didn't want to cause you any trouble.
My goodness. That wouldn't have been a problem at all.
I mean, you're the only employee at my bakery.
Also, if anything happens to you,
let me be the first one to know so that I can help you, okay?
I'll do that.
You're so strong. No wonder your bread is so soft.
You know what? Word spread in the neighborhood...
about how good our bread is.
You're awesome.
Son Heung Min is amazing. He did incredibly well in that game.
- Absolutely. - You see, the formation...
- He's the best. - He's good.
Should I give him this or not?
- Was it a 3-3-2 formation? - That was incredible.
He didn't tell anyone about Dad's job.
I do appreciate it.
I like that.
Hey, by the way...
- Go ahead. - I've played soccer with them before.
And I tried the strategy.
- No way. - I kicked the ball.
It didn't work.
- You should've kicked hard. - So I realized...
- I should try it too. - that it wasn't a very good strategy.
That was crazy.
- Show me yours. - I'm serious.
I have never seen it before.
Hey, Ok Jun Pyo.
Why? Did you call me?
Hey, why won't you say anything when you called me?
Give me your hand.
My hand?
Why?
Just give me your hand.
Gosh. What's with her?
I don't know. But she seems determined.
Give her your hand and see what happens.
Here. What are you going to do now?
I randomly found it on the street.
What? Why would you give me this? It's dirty.
It's not dirty. Don't worry.
Do you think I can trust her?
You're absolutely clueless.
Forget it. If you don't want to eat it, just throw it out or whatever.
She's ridiculous.
Why did she give me something she found on the street?
- She must have a crush on you. - Exactly.
No way.
(Hwang Dong Food)
This is the report on the Middle East that you asked for.
Did you do thorough research on overall culture including food culture?
Of course, sir.
Thank you for this. Get back to work.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Oh, my. Mr. Ok, you're so amazing as always.
How did you think of studying their culture...
before closing the deal with the buyer?
I'm totally amazed by you once again.
Actually, it was Branch Manager Dong Ju Hyuk's idea.
Oh, I see. Was it?
Anyway, the fact that you accepted his idea...
with an open mind inspires me so much.
Well, thank you for thinking that way of me.
Such a competent man like Mr. Dong should be working at the head office.
I'm sure many other female employees hope for that too.
- Hello, everyone. - Hello.
Oh, my. As always,
everyone on the planning team is so passionate about work.
Hello. You're here.
Hey, is the preparation for the meeting with the buyer going well?
Chairman Hwang seemed very worried about the new product launch.
Mr. Ok, you must be under a lot of pressure.
That's not true. The others on my team do all the work, you know.
Mr. Ok is just saying that.
He's actually working really hard to prepare everything thoroughly.
Of course. He's the rising star of Hwang Dong Food.
Mr. Ok is the best.
Everyone, to show him our support, let's give him a loud cheer...
and a big round of applause!
Go, Mr. Ok!
- Mr. Ok, you can do it! - Go, Mr. Ok.
Stop it, Mr. Choi. My goodness.
- Ok Jae Hyun! - What?
Ok Jae Hyun of Hwang Dong Food!
Ok Jae Hyun!
Ok Jae Hyun of Hwang Dong Food!
He's unbelievable.
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
(President's Office)
Sir, Chairman Hwang is here.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Chairman Hwang, what brings you here? I didn't hear you'd come.
It seems that you can't visit my house...
because of Chan Ran, so I had to come to see you.
- Please have a seat. - Okay.
- Give us some tea, please. - Yes, sir.
I heard that Chan Ran invited Ju Hyuk over.
Yes.
You don't seem to worry about it at all.
It's because I believe you'll stay firm.
You believe I'll stay firm?
Yes. And you know what Chan Ran is like.
If you push her too hard, she'd only go the other way.
I'm planning to send Ju Hyuk back to the US first.
I heard that you had given the position at the head office...
to someone else instead of Ju Hyuk, but...
Oh, right. How did the internal evaluation of the instant porridge go?
We got a lot of negative feedback about the texture.
We'll improve it and make a sample again.
Can we even launch the product on the scheduled date?
Rather than putting it out in the market prematurely,
it'd be wiser to focus on developing a new product that would suit...
Hwang Dong Food's brand image.
Your classes ended, right?
You can leave for the day too, Ms. Ok.
Yes, Ms. Jang.
Ms. Ok.
Ho Rang and I are such big fans of Hwang Dong Food's instant soup.
I wonder if your family members eat the company's products too.
Of course, we do. We even eat sesame oil and all the sauces.
Oh, right. Did your boyfriend get the position at the head office?
Well...
It didn't work out for him.
Oh, no. I'm sorry to hear that.
Then will you two have a long distance relationship?
That's a shame.
Hello.
My goodness. Ms. Ok's boyfriend is here.
Hello.
Why did you come up here? You said you'd wait outside.
I came to take a look around.
(Horang Art Academy)
By the way, did you fix the storage door?
Oh, that? Yes, of course. I fixed it very well.
Are you sure there's nothing else to be fixed?
Ju Hyuk.
Of course.
Ms. Ok, since your boyfriend is here, you should go now.
- I'll see you tomorrow. - See you.
Goodbye then.
Goodbye. Go back safely.
Gosh. That rude jerk.
He's going back to the US, so we won't have to see him again.
He does care so much about Ms. Ok, though.
Gosh. I'm so upset.
What's wrong? You were so quiet on our way here.
What if Grandpa yells at you as well?
I'm prepared for that much.
And I'll try harder to change his mind. Wouldn't that help?
Let's go in.
- Oh, hello. - Hello. Are you leaving for the day now?
Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
Mr. Geum, I heard about the massage balls.
And that you told my grandfather many good things about me.
Thank you for that.
You care deeply about him.
But he didn't seem to know how much you cared about him,
and I felt a little bad about it.
I should be saying the same about you. You've been so good to him.
It's my job, you know.
Well, I'll get going now.
- Okay. - See you.
Keep a distance from someone who works for your family.
Uneducated people like him tend not to know their places...
when they think you're a pushover.
Ju Hyuk.
That's out of line.
I'm just worried about you.
Even so, that was too disrespectful.
Let's drop it. We need to focus on our problem now.
Okay?
Thank you!
I mean, what's wrong with me?
I run a side dish store and have a sweet daughter.
I'm fully satisfied with my life.
I'm not highly educated or rich, but that's fine. Right?
Jan Di, give me strength.
Let's have an exciting, fun day. We can do it!
Oh, my. Kang San.
Hi, Ho Rang. Are you going somewhere?
I stopped by some place after my classes. I'm on my way home now.
By the way, is everything okay?
Why do you look so disheartened?
I'm okay. Everything is fine.
You're lying.
I can tell something happened. It's written all over your face.
Go ahead and tell me.
I've been doing parent consultations for a long time.
I thought...
I had been living my life to the fullest.
But I guess...
I still don't seem good enough to others.
That's not true.
You're raising your kid so well while working two jobs.
You're diligent and earnest.
You always step up to help others. That's not all.
Above all, you're very handsome.
Your words...
cheer me up.
Hey, there are no men like you in the whole country.
Who would work his tail off...
to support his in-laws as well as his child?
I mean, your wife has been missing for over ten years.
Oh, you're right.
I hope Sun Ju is doing well somewhere.
Oh, no. What did I just say?
Gosh. I'm so stupid.
I'm sorry, Kang San.
I shouldn't have brought Sun Ju up.
That's okay.
You see...
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you...
that I was working for Ms. Ok's family.
Ms. Ok told me everything.
That she didn't want me to know she was a member of the Hwang Dong Food family.
By any chance,
did you try to keep it a secret for Ms. Ok's sake?
Is that why you couldn't tell me that you were working there?
Well, that's not exactly why.
I mean, I should be discreet about my employer's family.
Right. I shouldn't tell anyone what I heard...
during a parent consultation either.
I have a big mouth, which is my problem.
Sometimes I say things I shouldn't say by mistake.
Compared to you, I still have a long way to go.
That's not true. You're so smart and cool.
I didn't hesitate to send Jan Di to your art academy...
even for a single second. Think about it. Can't you see that?
Oh, my.
Don't make me blush.
Couldn't you be a little subtle when you compliment me?
Silly you!
- Gosh. - I'm so embarrassed.
- My goodness. - Come on.
- She's unbelievable. - What's with you?
Why are you hitting on my brother-in-law?
Ye Ju.
(Apple of My Eye)
I thought you were going back to the US soon, Ju Hyuk.
That being said,
Chairman Hwang, I'd like to start working at the head office.
You worked in the US for a long time.
Do you even know how things work here?
I'll take good care of Sang Soo.
Don't worry about him and just focus on Se Chan.
Apparently, Se Chan won an award again.
By the way, Dad, where could Mom be now?
Do you still believe Sun Ju is alive?
