(Episode 26)
I'm thirsty.
Soo Ji, can you bring me some water?
Soo Ji, I said I wanted some water.
Gosh, seriously.
Oh, dear.
What? Wait. Where was sujeonggwa?
Our home-made sujeonggwa is the best cure for hangovers. Gosh.
What?
What is this?
Let's see. What's this?
Oh, my.
Awesome.
This is awesome.
Sweetie pie, you must be feeling better seeing that you're eating well.
Of course. I'll stay healthy and do well until I meet Mom again.
Good. I'm glad you think that way. That's my sweetie pie.
Thank you for the breakfast.
I'll go and pack my bag for school.
- Okay. Go get ready now. - Yes, Grandma.
You have a PE class today.
- Don't forget to pack your gym clothes. - Okay.
Kang San, Jan Di's eyes are so puffy.
Did she cry all night long, Ye Ju?
I don't know. I didn't hear her cry.
Goodness, you. Once you fall asleep,
you wouldn't wake up even if a bomb exploded beside you.
Why wouldn't that little girl have cried thinking of her mom?
We should be relieved that she shook it off overnight.
I'll step out briefly.
Why... Who is it?
You don't have to know, Mother.
- Ho Rang. - Hey.
I hope I'm not interrupting your breakfast.
You aren't. I've finished my breakfast.
I'm sorry for causing you trouble because of Jan Di yesterday.
You didn't cause me any trouble.
How's Jan Di doing?
She ate well. She seems fine.
That's a relief.
Here.
What's this?
I made tea with the red ginseng that my mom sent me.
Give it to Jan Di so that she can regain her energy.
I added a lot of honey to make it easy to drink.
Thank you for this, Ho Rang.
I told you that Jan Di was like my own daughter.
Kang San, you must've been surprised and upset as well.
Well, I've been through it many times.
I must say, it's all Ms. Ok's fault.
I told her to refrain herself.
I mean, had she called me before going there,
none of that would've happened.
She did it for Jan Di, you know.
But I went overboard and got upset at her.
I shouldn't have done that to her. I feel bad.
It was only natural for you to get upset.
I should go in to get ready for work.
Thanks for this. I'll make sure Jan Di drinks it.
No problem. I made enough for more than one person.
Don't just give it all to Jan Di. You should have some too, okay?
- Thank you again, Ho Rang. - Don't mention it.
Make sure to have some.
Hi, Grandpa.
Have you been wearing the bow tie I made for you?
Dad? He's not with me right now.
Oh, I see. Then instead of the school...
Well... Right. We should meet up at the art academy.
The one I used to go to.
Then I'll see you later, Grandpa.
Whom were you talking to?
Oh, it was Hye Ri.
What did you two talk about?
Well... About this and that.
Can you respect my privacy?
Fine. Sure.
Unless what happened yesterday happens again, I'll respect your privacy.
Drink this.
Gosh. It smells weird. I won't drink this.
You should have some.
Ms. Jang made this red ginseng tea just for you.
Red ginseng tea? Hye Ri's mom makes it for Hye Ri every day too.
Then go ahead and drink it. Come on.
Gosh. It's so bitter.
- You should finish it. Drink up. - Gosh.
I'll give you a candy.
Did you give Jan Di the red ginseng tea?
Yes.
Don't look at me like that. I just had a sip.
I've been feeling weak lately.
It's okay. Feel free to drink it.
- Can I? - Yes.
Oh, great. It's so strong and nice.
By the way, you must be close to Ho Rang seeing that she made this for you.
She's Ho Sik's sister.
And we've been friends since we were little.
Come on. Is that all?
I mean, you're a man, and she's a woman.
Sorry?
I was just asking. Don't be so serious.
- Hey... - I'll have just one more sip.
When I met Mi Rae yesterday, she didn't seem to do as you want her to.
Shouldn't you go back to the US without her?
Kyu Chul, why would you bring that up to upset him first thing in the morning?
I'll either convince Chairman Hwang to let me start working in Korea...
or convince Mi Rae to move to the US with me.
It's none of your business.
Neither of them will be easy.
I'm not like you...
who could never win Ms. Hwang's heart over the past decades.
Ju Hyuk, don't be disrespectful to your father.
Anyway, Chairman Hwang won't approve of it.
It's because...
I'm the only one he can trust with his company.
You seem so confident, Father.
Of course, I am.
Jae Hyun is not good enough to inherit the company,
and Chairman Hwang knows that better than anyone else.
So you're going to marry Ms. Hwang...
and swallow the company whole? Is that your plan?
Swallowing the company whole?
Kyu Chul, what does Ju Hyuk mean by all this?
Do not speculate on things when you know nothing about them.
My relationship with Ms. Hwang is much purer...
than you think it is.
Oh, is that so?
But regardless of how you really feel about her,
I have no intention of giving up on Mi Rae.
Do you think you can keep me from marrying Ms. Hwang?
If you keep using Mi Rae to do so,
you'll end up losing both Mi Rae and Hwang Dong Food.
So quit your stupid trick...
and go back to where you belong by this weekend.
Kyu Sun, I'm off to work now.
Okay, Kyu Chul.
Ju Hyuk, what does your father mean by all that?
You're using Mi Rae?
I thought you were in love with her.
Of course, I love her.
I guess Father thinks his love is pure, but mine isn't.
Why must you and your father love the women in the same family?
Finish your food. I'll see your father out.
Hi, Director Cho.
Did you send Dora Kim the revised script?
Exactly. Of course, I should pull it off.
If we fail to convince the investor this time, it will be over for us.
Oh, no.
What was that about? Convince who?
Oh, that?
I was talking about today's meeting. I should convince the buyer.
I mean, I should get the export contract no matter what.
By the way, did you apologize to Grandfather?
Of course, I did.
I also asked him to reconsider letting Ju Hyuk work in Korea.
Goodness. Why did you say something useless like that?
Anyway, you need to win a lot of brownie points with him,
so make sure to land that contract, okay?
- Okay. - You've got this.
I know. Don't worry.
- Hello. - Oh, hello.
I see that you're leaving now.
Yes. Now then...
Yes.
Well... You see...
Jan Di cheered up and went to school this morning.
That's great. I'm relieved.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
Why are you apologizing, Mr. Geum?
You understood how much Jan Di wanted to find her mom.
That's why you went there with her as her guardian.
But I said mean things to you without knowing your intentions.
I'm deeply sorry.
Please don't be. I should've let you know since you're her father.
I made a mistake.
So I fully understand why you reacted that way.
I do understand you.
I'm really sorry.
I said you didn't have to apologize.
Because you were there the whole time and comforted Jan Di,
she was able to muster up the courage and get back up.
Thank you so much, Ms. Ok.
I'm so happy to know that she overcame it well.
Oh, you should go now.
Yes. Then I'll see you later.
- See you later. - See you.
Oh, right. I should go in.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Today's meeting with the buyer will determine our company's success.
Let's prepare everything thoroughly.
We've checked the documents thoroughly. Please don't worry, Mr. Eun.
To be blunt, what we do is simply assist Mr. Ok.
Whether or not we'll get the contract is up to him. Am I right?
You know how great Mr. Ok is. I have no doubt he'll pull it off.
Mr. Ok, you should practice in the meeting room before leaving.
Mr. Eun, I should step out briefly to meet someone.
Pardon? Right now?
You should prepare for the presentation. Where are you going?
Well... It's urgent.
I'll come back in time. Prepare for the meeting without me.
I'll be counting on you.
But...
Mr. Ok. Please wait.
Where is he going when the meeting will begin shortly?
Mr. Eun, don't you have a bad feeling about this?
I do. I feel some dark energy around us for some reason.
This is driving me nuts.
(Ju Hyuk)
Ju Hyuk is calling me?
Hi, Ju Hyuk.
Jae Hyun, have you had a chance to talk to your grandfather?
Well... The thing is...
He wouldn't even budge.
I made a scene because I was drunk.
I only made him upset.
I'm sorry.
I understand, Jae Hyun. Talk to you later.
All right, everyone. Today, you'll draw your friends.
Take a look at the person sitting next to you.
What do you think? Doesn't it sound great?
Why don't you start sketching while looking at each other?
- Yes, Ms. Ok. - Yes, Ms. Ok.
(Ju Hyuk)
I enjoyed reading the script you sent me.
I've been working in Hollywood for a long time.
But it has never felt so true when people say that Korean culture...
is the most popular culture in the world.
Oh, really?
Yes.
In that sense, Director Ok Jae Hyun, the concept...
of your movie "Bracken" is so impressive.
I mean, I was very impressed. I was surprised.
Thank you for the positive feedback.
However,
I'd like to make a few changes...
to make the movie commercially successful?
Pardon?
You want to make changes?
I barely made time for this.
But she didn't talk about the investment, but only criticized my script.
What more does she want me to change?
Gosh. I'm so upset.
Looks like Dora Kim won't invest in my movie either.
(Mr. Eun)
Yes, Mr. Eun.
Where are you now? The meeting will begin shortly.
Oh, I'm running late. Okay. I'll go back right now.
Gosh. I'm so late.
(Horang Art Academy)
Oh, my. I got a lot of missed calls from Ju Hyuk.
Ju Hyuk, it's me. Did you call me?
Yes.
Oh, my. Ju Hyuk, what brings you here?
Let's go out and talk.
My class will begin shortly.
Is a mere class at this academy that important to you?
I'm going back to the US...
this weekend.
This weekend?
My schedule has been moved up.
Are you...
really going to let me go like this?
We've discussed enough about that.
Mi Rae.
Do you really love me?
What?
I asked if you loved me.
Of course, I love you.
Then...
move to the US with me.
And let's get married there without our families.
Ju Hyuk, I said I couldn't do that without my grandfather's approval.
Even though we'll be away from each other, I'll always be waiting for you.
I can wait as long as necessary.
It's not that I don't trust you, you fool.
If we miss this chance, we might never be able to get married.
What do you mean by that?
Why can't we get married if we don't do it now?
Just do as I say, Mi Rae!
You have to move to the US with me!
Ms. Ok.
What's going on?
Ms. Ok, do you need my help?
Oh, it's... No, that's okay.
I'm sorry, Ms. Jang.
Ms. Ok, this is a place where we teach children.
How could you cause a commotion here fighting with your boyfriend?
Can't you keep your personal matters separate from work?
Ho Rang, stop it.
Ju Hyuk, please leave now. I'm asking you.
I knew you didn't love me.
(Horang Art Academy)
Ms. Ok, can I talk to you for a second?
(Horang Art Academy)
Why are you sighing so deeply?
It's because of my nephew.
He came back from the US only recently,
but he has to go back there.
You must be very sad.
I can't seem to focus on work all day long.
Would you like to try making dough?
Focusing on making bread will help you feel much better.
I have learned how to bake bread before.
But I'm naturally bad at doing anything.
You're bad at doing anything?
Oh, my.
I didn't know you could smile.
I'll teach you step by step.
Right now?
Yes. Please come and stand next to me.
I'm not sure if I can do this.
All right.
First, press the dough with the palm of your hand...
- like this to remove gas from it. - I see.
It's to make the dough rise nicely...
and to make it stretchy.
Oh, I see.
Here. Try it.
- Okay. - Okay.
Then I'll try it. Am I doing it right?
- Yes. Keep stretching it. - Like this?
- Yes. Get all the air out of it. - Oh, like this?
- Okay. But... - It's okay if it tears.
- Okay. - Press it hard enough to tear it.
Oh, I understand.
- Like this? - Yes. That's good.
(Horang Art Academy)
Ms. Ok.
Yesterday, you made us all worry while trying to help Jan Di find her mom.
And today, you caused a commotion once again.
I get more disappointed in you every day.
I'm sorry, Ms. Jang.
Let's forget about what happened yesterday.
What's going on between you and your boyfriend?
I heard him asking you to move to the US with him.
You don't want to talk about it?
I'm sorry.
Ms. Ok, you don't have much dating experience, right?
Pardon?
Is your boyfriend your first love? Is he?
I knew it.
You see, when a man is in love,
he becomes emotional and impulsive.
You should try to understand how he feels...
and reassure him about the relationship.
Oh, I understand.
Oh, my. Ms. Ok, I think you have a lot to learn from me.
You see, I have a lot of dating experience and I've been married.
I also got a divorce. There have been many ups and downs.
So I know quite a lot about being in a relationship.
Anyway, you should tell him you're sorry via text message...
so that you can make up with him soon.
I understand you're passionately in love,
but never let anything like that happen again here.
Do you understand?
Yes. I'll bear that in mind.
All right, then.
Yes.
(Horang Art Academy, Ok Mi Rae)
He said he would be here shortly. Why hasn't he come back yet?
Mr. Ok is still not picking up.
The buyers will be here shortly. What do we do, Mr. Eun?
Oh, it's Mr. Ok.
Yes, Mr. Ok. Where are you...
- You got into an accident? - Because you kept rushing me,
I hit a car in front of me while trying to pass it.
Are you saying you can't come back in time?
Then what about the presentation?
Oh, the police are here. I'll call you back.
Hello? Mr. Ok.
He really hung up.
What am I supposed to do? Gosh.
You're here, sir.
Are you all set up?
Well... Actually, Mr. Ok Jae Hyun went out to work outside of the office.
And he got into a fender-bender.
- What? - So?
I don't think he can attend the meeting.
Then you should do the presentation instead, Mr. Eun.
Pardon? I have to do that?
Then who else can do it?
Don't you know that losing this contract will cause the company a great loss?
Mr. Eun, do you think you can do this?
It seems like you just left it all to Mr. Ok.
That's not true. I did almost all the work to prepare for this presentation.
Since there's nothing we can do about this situation,
try to lead your team to handle it without any problems.
Yes, sir. Please don't worry, sir.
Then why don't we let Mr. Eun prepare for the meeting...
and wait outside until he's ready?
Let's do that.
We'll see you later, sir.
Relax. All right?
How can I deliver the presentation when I'm not prepared?
What should I do?
No. I should calm down.
They say a crisis is an opportunity.
I should use this as a chance to impress the higher-ups.
Right. I could get promoted.
I hope...
Jae Hyun will get the contract.
I'm sure he will. He made a mistake last night because he drank too much.
He's been working hard without getting distracted.
She's right. He seemed so determined to get it done this morning.
He will never do anything to disappoint you again.
- I'm home. - Hey, Jun Pyo, you're back.
- But why do you look so downcast? - What?
I'm a little tired because I take many classes at an academy.
Oh, dear.
Soo Ji, studying hard is good, but give him time to rest too.
He doesn't need more time to rest. He can strengthen his body instead.
Right, my dear son?
Then I'll go upstairs.
All right. Go on.
Then I'll go upstairs too.
Okay. Go ahead.
Okay.
Father, please don't worry too much.
Jae Hyun will do a great job.
He should. I believe he will.
My, the weather is so nice today.
Did you go outside?
I hung the chairman's bedding outside.
I thought it'll help to sanitize it since it was so sunny.
Oh, dear. It hurts.
What's wrong? Do you have a problem?
Maybe I pulled a muscle in my shoulder while sleeping.
I'd feel better if I could get acupuncture treatment.
Then go ahead. I'll finish doing the dishes.
Oh, my. Thank you.
Can you wash the empty food containers in the fridge as well?
Of course. Don't worry and go on.
Oh, no. We shouldn't waste water.
Mom, please.
Can't I take a day off from going to the academy just for today?
I'm so sleepy.
Come on. You're at it again. Just get ready to go to the academy.
I'll bring you something that will boost your energy.
It's something really valuable. All right?
What is it, Mom?
I prepared something for you...
without letting anyone know.
I'll be right back.
I've finished doing the dishes.
She asked me to take the empty containers out of the fridge.
Let's see.
This one...
and this one.
Let's take this one out too.
There. Let's wash them now.
What was in here?
What's this?
It has a bitter, unusual taste.
I don't think it's deodeok.
What are you eating?
Oh, ma'am.
I took the empty food containers out of the fridge.
I found a thin piece of some kind of root left in here.
I ate it because I didn't want to waste it.
You took the empty food containers out of the fridge?
- Was it... No. Wait. - Yes?
I put a wild ginseng root in here.
Where did my wild ginseng go?
Wild ginseng?
My 50-year-old wild ginseng was in here!
Where did it go?
That...
No way.
How is the meeting with the buyers going?
How did it go, Grandfather?
What? Jae Hyun did it again?
I think I saw it somewhere.
- Oh, no. - Mr. Dong.
I'm sorry for being late.
It wasn't me. I'm not lying.
You ate the ginseng that was worth tens of thousands of dollars.
And you're playing dumb now?
This won't work. I'll call the police.
You'll call the police?
