Ms. Choi, it wasn't me. I'm not lying.
I'm speechless.
You ate the ginseng that was worth tens of thousands of dollars.
And you're playing dumb now?
I really don't know what happened. I never even saw that wild ginseng.
Soo Ji, what's going on?
Mother, this man stole my wild ginseng.
You got the wrong idea. Trust me.
I already told you. I was going to wash the empty container...
and I found a tiny piece of fine root. I ate that piece. That's all.
Stop lying.
The whole wild ginseng root I put in there disappeared.
Mr. Geum, did you really steal it?
No, Ms. Hwang. I swear I didn't do that.
Gosh. This is unbelievable.
Mother, I saw it with my own eyes.
I saw him eating even the last tiny piece...
with an evil look on his face.
- What... - See?
He reeks of wild ginseng every time he opens his mouth to speak.
No, that's...
Mother, you can smell it too, right?
He smells like wild ginseng, right?
Well, I do smell it a little bit, but...
But... Oh, man.
This won't work. I'll call the police.
You'll call the police?
Yes, I will. I want justice.
Ms. Choi, please... Why...
Mom.
Dad ate that wild ginseng last night.
What?
I said Dad ate it.
He got so excited and put it in his mouth all at once.
Your dad ate it?
Is that true?
Yes.
Oh, really?
Why did you wrongfully accuse him...
without even knowing what really happened?
Considering everything, I had every reason to believe he did it.
Even so.
But Mother, you too said...
he smelled like wild ginseng.
Be honest with me. You suspected him as well.
That's true.
I'm in no position to tell you off.
He must've been so flustered.
I mean, he was accused of stealing the wild ginseng.
By the way, why is he still in the kitchen?
He said he would make something in the kitchen.
Anyway, I'm so upset that Jae Hyun ate the wild ginseng.
I hid it to give it to Jun Pyo.
Gosh. Why did that fool eat such a valuable thing?
Hey, watch your mouth.
Oh, no. I'm sorry.
I made something for you.
I found this in the fridge, so I seasoned it with a sesame sauce.
- Isn't that deodeok? - Yes, it is.
They say that one must make the best of what he has.
In fact, deodeok has as many health benefits as wild ginseng does...
and is called the new ginseng.
Oh, I see. I didn't know that until now.
So I made this so that you all could share it...
instead of the wild ginseng.
- Here you go, sir. - Thanks.
It's not bad.
It's good.
Well... Mr. Geum.
I'm very sorry for not believing you back there.
I'm sorry too.
Well... It's understandable. It's okay.
I must say, this is so good.
I'll let Jun Pyo try this when he comes back from the academy.
Okay. Then I'll pack some for Jun Pyo, Ms. Choi.
Will you do that for me? I'd appreciate that.
I'll go back to work.
Okay.
All right. Then we'll share the next ginseng,
and Jae Hyun, who ate the wild ginseng, will land the contract...
in return for the wild ginseng. That'll make all of us happy.
Hello? Yes, Mr. Choi.
Yes. How is the meeting with the buyers going?
How did it go, Grandfather?
What?
Jae Hyun did it again?
I see. Keep me updated.
Did something happen to Jae Hyun, Father?
That brat missed the meeting once again.
What?
That little...

(Executive)
He's doing better than I thought.
It's too soon to tell.
Our client says he has a question.
Of course. Please ask any questions.
It says mixed bones were used to make the cabbage hangover soup.
From what animal are these bones?
We have a religious restriction on the consumption of pork.
Oh, right. Well...
Let me check quickly.
Well...
Well... Maybe...
Maybe beef bones? Beef bones, I guess.
I mean, I'm sure we use beef bones.
What did he say?
He said that the soup was made with beef bones.
I'll ask him again to confirm it.
Are you sure?
It's a very important thing to consider before deciding.
Right. You have halal food.
Okay. Just a moment.
I mean... I think I saw it somewhere.
Oh, boy. I'm sorry.
It's just... You know...
Well... Sir.
I'm sorry for being late.
Mr. Eun, thank you. I'll take it from here.
Yes, sir.
I'm Branch Manager Dong Ju Hyuk of the US branch.
I will answer your question.
The mixed bones you asked about...
include beef bones and pork bones.
He said that the mixed bones included beef bones and pork bones.
Tell him that we can't make the deal.
Understood.
Is that true?
If so, we can't proceed with this contract.
It's true that we use pork bones to make our products.
But we're planning to replace the meat and bones...
with halal certified chicken for the products to sell to your company.
Furthermore, we promise you...
we'll make sure to produce our products in a facility...
that doesn't process pork.
It's true that beef and pork bones are used to make this product,
but they won't use pork bones for the products to sell to you...
and replace all the meat with halal certified chicken.
He promised that they would never use pork.
How can we trust you?
I mean, the other man didn't even seem to know what ingredients were used.
How can we trust you?
He didn't even seem to know what ingredients were used.
There's an old saying in Korea that says...
that one never trips over the same rock more than once.

to be a trustworthy partner without making any mistakes.

Oh, my.
Is this bread really made out of the dough I made earlier?
- Yes. - My goodness.
It rose so well that it looks really soft and delicious now.
All the bread I made before didn't even look like bread.
Try it.
Okay.
Which one shall I try? All right. Here we go.
Oh, gosh. It's too hot.
My, it's so moist, soft, and chewy.
It tastes like paradise. My gosh.
I'm surprised.
I guess I became good at baking because you taught me.
This is great. I'm so excited.
Wait. Hold on.
Here.
You should try it too.
I'm fine.
Come on. Don't be shy and try it. Here. Try it.
Come on. My arm hurts.
Here.
- Here. Open. - Okay.
- Put it in your mouth. Good. - Okay.
Oh, my.
Hello?
We have a customer.
Just a second.
(Horang Art Academy)
Oh, hello. May I help you?
Hey...
Hasn't Jan Di come yet?
Pardon?
Well... I'm her grandpa.
Oh, I see. Hello.
Jan Di has an extracurricular lesson today, so she'll be here later than usual.
Oh, I see. Then I guess I came too early.
Is the director in her office?
Well, yes, she is, but...
Come in.
Ms. Jang, you have a visitor.
Oh, my. Mr. Geum.
It's been a long time. What brings you here?
Jan Di told me she took classes at this academy. So I came to see her.
By the way,
are you really Ho Rang?
You look like a different person.
That's not true.
Ms. Ok, you may leave now.
Yes, Ms. Jang.
- Mr. Geum. - Yes?
Please sit here.
Oh, my. Your office looks nice.
Mom, I'm glad Mr. Geum didn't see that.
He would throw a fit if he knows.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about how Jan Di went out alone...
to find her mom.
I mean, he's not happy that Kang San still lives with us.
If he knows that Kang San and Jan Di still miss Sun Ju...
and go around to find her looking so miserable,
he would take the two of them away from us right away.
As if. He doesn't even have a place to live with them.
He still wanders around because he has no place to live...
even though he's not young anymore.
That's true.
Maybe he can't help with his nomad lifestyle and women problems.
He's such a womanizer.
If you think about it,
it's hard to believe that such a womanizer like Mr. Geum...
had a son who's pure-hearted like Kang San. It's a mystery.
Don't you think so?
I'm so relieved that Kang San doesn't take after his father.
That's exactly my point.
Good grief. I can't stand him.
- Here. Please have some coffee. - Thanks.
Hey, you used to be called Ho Rang with a flat nose.
Oh, please. That was a long time ago.
You had your nose done, right?
It cost me quite a lot.
It looks natural.
How's your business doing?
I wonder if you even make ends meet running it in a small town like this.
Education business isn't influenced by economic changes easily.
Even so, how much money could you make from teaching kids?
Oh, no. Gosh, my head suddenly hurts.
Did I drink too much last night?
Do you still drink a lot?
Of course. There's not much to enjoy in life, you know.
Oh, man. I'm so tired and sleepy.
It'd be nice...
if I could take a nap until Jan Di comes.
Then why don't you wait at Kang San's place?
I'll take Jan Di home when she gets here.
At Ms. Ma's house? I'm not comfortable going there.
Why? Did you have a fight with Ms. Ma?
Why would you ask such a question?
I'll be at a nearby spa.
Call me when Jan Di comes.
Oh, right. Well... Wait, Mr. Geum.
Why?
(Hwang Dong Food)
Yes, Chairman Hwang. I was going to call you.
Why didn't you tell me about the mess Jae Hyun made?
I didn't want you to worry.
And we got the contract smoothly.
I heard that Ju Hyuk made that happen.
I'm relieved that we got the contract, at least.
Don't worry about the company and get some rest, sir.
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
Sir, Mr. Choi is here.
What a relief, Mr. Dong.
What brings you here?
What else? I'm here to congratulate you.
Why are you still standing there? Leave us.
And I saw Branch Manager Dong finish the deal with the buyers...
with my own eyes before coming here.
Did you tell the chairman about it?
Of course. I thought it'd be hard for you to tell him about it.
So I told him on your behalf.
You shouldn't have stepped up.
Pardon me?
Oh, I made a big mistake.
I'll be more mindful from now on.
Please come in.
Okay. Is this it?
Oh, no. Yes.
I'm sorry about the mess.
Ho Sik made such a mess in here. I'm embarrassed.
These are all your clothes.
Oh, goodness. Well... I mean...
I was in a hurry this morning.
Oh, right. I heard you got a divorce.
So do you live here with Ho Sik now?
Yes.
Oh, right. You said you had a headache, right?
Where is the medicine for headaches?
Hold on. Did I put it in there?
That's okay. You must be busy. You should go now.
Then rest up in Ho Sik's room over there.
I'll bring Jan Di here when she finishes her class.
Okay.
Gosh. Look at this.
I see that she uses her business as an excuse...
not to do any housework at all.
Should I give up on this one?
Gosh. Had things worked out...
between Kang San and Hwa Jin, I would have a nice car like this.
Gosh, my head hurts.
I think I should take a nap for now.
- Oh, my. - Gosh!
Hey.
- Hey, Ho Sik. - Darn it.
Thank you, Kang San. Are you going home from work?
Yes. Hey, what's with all these boxes?
They're all packages for Ho Rang.
She ordered all sorts of things...
and had them delivered to her academy.
So I have to move them to our house, which is so tiresome.
Let's divide them. I'll help you move them to your house.
Thank you so much. You're such a good friend.
You help me out often as well.
True.
Oh, right. You've seen Ms. Ok's boyfriend, right?
Yes, I saw him several times. Why?
He came to the academy earlier today and caused a commotion.
He seemed to mistreat Ms. Ok too.
He mistreats Ms. Ok?
That's right.
Ho Rang thinks it was just a lovers' quarrel.
But I'm sure he thinks he can walk all over Ms. Ok.
Just as Sun Ju did to you before.
Why would you bring her up?
Oh, gosh. Have you forgotten it already?
Whenever I think about what that wench did to you, I'm still...
Stop it. You're talking nonsense again.
Carry the rest.
Hey, wait up. Gosh.
Listen. You've done enough for Jan Di.
What more should you do for her?
I haven't been a perfect dad.
There are so many things I couldn't do for Jan Di.
You're impossible.
You took Jan Di under your wing after Sun Ju left home. Isn't that enough?
What do you mean I took her under my wing?
Then what else would you call that?
Sun Ju abandoned her own child...
and left home to make a successful career.
Gosh, you little...
But you, Kang San...
You've been working hard to raise Jan Di when you two don't even share blood.
- Gosh. It's so frustrating. - Shut it.
I have never thought Jan Di wasn't my daughter. Got it?
That's crazy.
Father.
Is what I just heard true?
Well... Father, actually...
Your ex-husband asked you for money again?
What a jerk.
Yes, Hwa Jin. Calm down for now.
Don't lend him any money.
I'll call you back. Bye.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Why are you here?
I went to the art academy to see Jan Di.
And Ho Rang let me stay here waiting for Jan Di.
Hello, Mr. Geum.
Did you happen to hear our conversation?
About what?
Why? Were you two bad-mouthing me?
- No. - Gosh, no. Why would we bad-mouth you?
But Father.
Even though Ho Rang let you stay here,
you shouldn't have stayed here when no one was home.
Let's leave and go to my house.
No, I don't want to go to your mother-in-law's house.
Why should I see her getting on her high horse because she lives with you?
Don't say that.
She always sends you side dishes. She cares so much about you.
Listen. I hate it when you...
side with your mother-in-law, and that's another reason I don't want to go there.
Gosh, my head hurts again. It's your fault.
- Wait, Father. - Hey.
Just leave him be.
But...
Gosh, seriously.
I can't believe him.
Hi, Ho Rang. It's me.
It's okay, Kang San.
I said it was okay.
I offered him to stay there.
So don't worry about it.
I'll go home with Jan Di later.
Okay.
I want to use this as a chance to win a lot of brownie points.
What more should I do?
Seeing that you came here cheerfully, I feel so relieved.
Ms. Ok.
Did my dad apologize to you for getting upset at you?
Of course, he did. Don't worry about it.
He went overboard yesterday.
Jan Di, you're here.
Hello.
How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?
I'm feeling great.
By the way, Ms. Jang, didn't my grandpa come here?
Your grandfather is at my house right now.
He's at your house? why?
He said he wasn't feeling very well.
So I let him wait there.
Then I'll go there to see him now.
You can leave when the class ends.
Right. Let's go to my house together when it ends.
Okay?
Oh, right. Did you drink the red ginseng tea?
I made it just for you, Jan Di.
I only had one glass.
And my uncle drank the rest of it.
I'll go and fill my water bucket.
Okay.
My gosh. Why did Jin Ju's husband drink it?
By the way, Ms. Ok, did you text your boyfriend as I advised?
Yes, I did. And we're going to have dinner together.
Oh, my. That's great.
You see, I'm like an expert when it comes to dating.
(Horang Art Academy, Ok Mi Rae)
(Hwang Dong Food)
I'm sorry, everyone.
Mr. Ok, where have you been?
I told you I had gotten into an accident on my way back.
Hey, Ju Hyuk.
You met the buyers in my place, right?
I heard it on my way back.
Well, I did my best.
Mr. Dong was amazing at the meeting.
At the moment of crisis when Mr. Eun didn't know what to do,
Mr. Dong showed up and sorted out the situation magically.
What do you mean I didn't know what to do?
I set it all up, and he simply rode on my coattails.
My goodness. That's not what happened.
You almost ruined it,
but our dear Mr. Dong resolved the problem...
and got an additional 30 percent on top of what was offered.
"Our dear Mr. Dong?"
That's right. Our dear Mr. Dong.
Ju Hyuk, shall we have some tea together?
- Shall we? - Yes.
Honestly, I thought we wouldn't get the contract.
And that moment, you crossed my mind.
Thank you, Ju Hyuk.
But why did you step out before such an important meeting?
Well... Actually, I stepped out to meet a film investor earlier.
Are you going to keep pursuing film-making?
Well... I mean, I want to.
But it's not easy.
I failed to get an investment and missed the important meeting.
(Hwang Dong Food)
- Here's your coffee. - Thank you.
By the way, my grandpa will kill me.
He already gave me an earful over the phone.
Do you want me to go with you?
Will you?
Wouldn't that be better than you getting scolded alone?
My, I'm touched. You're like my own brother.
That was a good nap.
Where's Ho Sik?
He went out to drive the students home.
It looks like a different place now.
Hey, stop doing that and make some coffee for me.
No. I can't make coffee here when Ho Rang and Ho Sik aren't even here.
Let's leave now.
No. Ho Rang told me to wait here.
Jan Di will come shortly, so let's wait outside.
- Let's go. Stand up now. - Why should we wait outside?
- Stand up. - It's more comfortable here.
- Just get up, will you? - We're here.
Grandpa!
- Grandpa, I'm here. - Oh, my sweet granddaughter, you're here.
Ho Rang, we'll get going now. I'm sorry for inconveniencing you.
That's okay, Kang San.
Also, I made a reservation at a restaurant.
Let's all have dinner together.
No, that's okay. We can eat at home.
Hey, I said I didn't want to go to your mother-in-law's house.
That's right. Your father would feel more comfortable...
eating at a restaurant rather than at his in-law's house.
And the steak is amazing at the restaurant I booked.
Mr. Geum, do you like steak?
You mean, meat eaten with a knife and a fork? I love it.
Dad, I want to have steak too.
You heard her. Jan Di wants to have it too.
Let's eat there, Kang San, okay?
But I called Mother to let her know we would be home before dinner.
Then I'll call her again.
Hi, Grandma.
Why aren't you coming home?
We decided to dine out all together.
Ms. Jang will join us too.
Really?
Well, okay, then. Enjoy your dinner.
Will they have dinner before coming home?
Yes, apparently.
Gosh. Why did they change the plan?
We even made bulgogi for them.
I'm sure Mr. Geum refused to come.
Is he never going to see us again?
It seems like he's avoiding us. Right?
I don't know.
Anyway, what's wrong with Ho Rang?
Gosh. What did she do this time?
She'll join them for dinner.
My gosh. That's ridiculous.
Who is she to eat with them when even Mr. Geum is with them?
I mean...
Gosh.
Oh, my. Look at the ceiling lights. They're fabulous.
She picked the right restaurant that's as classy as me.
- Here? - Oh, my. Ms. Ok.
Hey, Jan Di.
Hello, Ms. Ok.
Oh, you're Jan Di's teacher I met earlier.
Yes. Hello.
Oh, my. Ms. Ok, are you meeting your boyfriend here?
Yes. Mr. Jang recommended me this place.
My gosh. Ho Sik knows all the famous restaurants...
even though he doesn't have much money.
My gosh. Are you having a date?
With your handsome boyfriend I saw last time?
Well... Yes.
Jan Di, let's go to our table. Ms. Ok, have a great time.
- See you later. - Ms. Ok.
- Stop it and sit down already. - She must've come early.
Let's take a look.
Can I have an expensive dish?
- Kang San, you should have this one. - Sorry?
That looks good.
Why hasn't Ju Hyuk come yet?
Come to think of it, it's suspicious.
Jang Ho Rang, the world's worst daughter,
treated Kang San's father to dinner at a fancy steakhouse?
Oh, Ms. Ok is still alone.
Ms. Ok, have you tried calling your boyfriend?
If a man ignores your calls and stands you up,
you should break up with him at once.
Ju Hyuk, what happened?
You're at my house?
