Goodness.
Darn it.
Sang Soo! What are you doing?
I need the hair brush. Why is this drawer stuck?
Move over.
- Goodness. - This is what you do.
Lift and pull, then it opens.
Here you go.
Goodness. The handle almost fell off.
This dressing table is just taking up space. It's a piece of junk.
It's because it's old. Please be gentle with it, okay?
Okay, all right.
Sang Soo, didn't you say you ordered a new bookcase?
The delivery is delayed. It'll be delivered this evening.
This evening? I see. Oh, here.
Take it and have it for lunch.
You've been eating gimbap at the convenience store every day.
I made you a sandwich.
Gosh, I'm so touched.
I miss those days when you used to deliver my lunch to the office.
Thanks for this.
I'll be late. I'm heading out.
Okay, have a good day.
- Thanks, Kang San. - No problem.
I can still vividly picture you sitting right in front...
of this dressing table.
Where are you?
"Big news?" What do you mean?
You heard me right. I've got big news to share!
You'll all be very surprised.
Sir, stop beating around the bush. Hurry up and tell us.
Mr. Dong Ju Hyuk from the US branch office...
will join the planning team!
What?
Seriously? Nice!
Hold on.
Don't be so surprised just yet.
I've got a bigger surprise for you all.
What now, sir?
Dong Ju Hyuk will work under Deputy Manager Eun.
He's been appointed as the team's assistant manager!
What? Why would he work under me?
That is odd. It means he's been demoted.
"Demoted?" As if.
The position doesn't matter. He's President Dong's son.
Gosh. Working with the chairman's grandson is stressful enough.
Now, we have to work with President Dong's son too?
- May I have your attention? - Oh, yes.
Gosh, hello.
Assistant Manager Dong Ju Hyuk is joining our team today.
I'm Dong Ju Hyuk. I look forward to working with you.
He'll be in charge of the instant porridge products.
So please help him out.
Mr. Dong will be in charge of our instant porridge products?
You all saw how he handled the meeting with the buyers.
That's why we're putting him in charge.
All right. Mr. Dong from the US.
Welcome!
Let's welcome him together with a big round of applause!
Welcome to the team, Mr. Dong!
Welcome, our handsome assistant manager.
So you and your boyfriend can be together now?
Yes. He's joining the company's head office.
He showed up here and caused a scene...
because he didn't want to break up with you.
Ju Hyuk made a lot of effort to stay with me.
To tell you the truth, I was quite moved.
Then you should do something to show him your appreciation.
What do you mean?
A good relationship is all about give and take.
He did something for you, so it's your turn to do something for him.
Men are touched when they see their girlfriends...
take good care of their families.
Oh, really?
Not me.
I wouldn't be touched even if my girlfriend...
were really good to you, Ho Rang.
Hey.
Go get a girlfriend first before you butt in.
Yes, ma'am.
Well, I should go change the water.
Hurry up.
Ms. Ok, so you should...
try to bond with your future mother-in-law.
Then your boyfriend will adore you even more.
He doesn't have a mother.
He has an aunt.
She runs a bakery in the area.
Really? Then try to impress his aunt and bond with her.
That way, you'll totally win points with your boyfriend.
I was actually planning to visit her today.
Then you can take a longer lunch break. You should go see her.
Thank you, Ms. Jang.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Gosh.
Why are you working so hard to sweep in front of someone else's store?
Don't tell me they asked you to do it.
No, they didn't.
Jan Di's grandmother has been very kind to me, so I'm just grateful.
- Oh, I see. - Yes.
I should go back inside and take the bread out of the oven.
All right, sure.
(Sun Bakery)
Is that woman interested in Doo Ho?
She won't try to make a move on him, will she?
No, I should find out myself.
Hello!
Hello, Ms. Ma. How have you been?
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
What brings you by? I haven't seen you in a while.
Ever since I hired the new baker,
our bread has been selling like hotcakes, so I've been very busy.
You know him, right? The one with broad shoulders.
Broad shoulders? I don't know about that.
But I know him because he's my tenant.
Anyway, where is your husband?
I believe I've never met him.
He died years ago. Why are you suddenly asking about my husband?
What about your husband? He has never once visited your store.
My goodness. I don't have a husband.
I've never been married.
Oh, my goodness.
I mean, you're not young. You've never worn a wedding dress?
Gosh, there are so many spinsters these days.
What? "Spinster?" Please!
Times have changed.
It's not like you still walk around in straw shoes.
These days, age really is nothing but a number.
If you're not married, you're just considered single.
My goodness.
Anyway,
I guess you're still not over your late husband,
seeing how you haven't remarried. Right?
How could I get married again...
when I'm always so busy trying to make ends meet?
I know you're busy, but still.
How should I put this? We all have our instinctual desires.
So? You have no interest in men, whatsoever?
Look.
Don't you know that I live with my son-in-law who's a single father?
So how could I meet someone and date?
Oh, I see.
You really mean that, right?
This morning,
my daughter said the same thing and got on my nerves.
Why must you suddenly barge in and ask me this?
Gosh, what is happening today?
Gosh. I should sprinkle some salt to get rid of the bad energy.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me, Ms. Ma. It came out wrong!
Yes, she must've meant it when she said she had no interest in men.
Auntie Kyu Sun, may I visit you during my lunch break today?
(Mi Rae)
Of course, Mi Rae. I'd love to see you.
Could you wipe that spot over there? Right next to Grandfather's feet.
- This spot here? - Yes.
Goodness.
- Yes, right there. - Got it. It's done!
Oh, boy.
Thank you, Mr. Geum.
You guys have so much more work to do...
because I can't move well.
I always spill food and drop things.
No, sir. Don't worry about it and just enjoy your food.
All right, thanks.
Father, you said you were meeting your friends from your hometown today.
Yes, that's right.
Mr. Geum. If you're available today,
could you go with my father?
He has Mr. Kim, the driver.
But if you go with him, I'll be less worried.
Sure thing. I should accompany him, of course.
We won't stay out too late.
Oh, that's right. Let's stop by the office before we go there.
Sure thing, sir.
Thank you.
You're getting out, right?
Yes.
Great.
Auntie Kyu Sun!
Mi Rae! It's so good to see you.
Anyway, what's that in your hand?
I brought you some lunch. I hope you like it.
My gosh, I'm sure it'll be delicious.
Oh, my. This is from my favorite sushi restaurant.
My gosh.
I'm already salivating.
Hey, why did you get three servings?
I got an extra one for your baker too.
He's in the kitchen, right?
Oh, no.
He just stepped out to pick up some baking sheets.
Really? This is sushi, so it should be eaten right away.
It's okay.
I'll put it in the fridge...
and give it to him when he's back.
Okay.
(Sun Bakery)
Anyway, you're always so sweet and thoughtful, Mi Rae.
I'm flattered.
Hey, I've been bragging about you nonstop to Mr. Kim, the baker,
saying how you'll be my niece-in-law soon.
- I'll introduce you to him next time. - Okay, sounds good.
- All right. - Dig in.
- Yes, let's eat. - Yes.
- Here, your chopsticks. - My gosh, thank you.
No problem. Here.
- Dig in. - Okay.
My, this looks delicious.
Yes. That's right.
- Oh, boy. - My gosh. Mr. Chairman.
- Yes. - Gosh. Hello, sir.
Yes, hello.
Gosh, Grandpa! I mean, sir.
What brings you to our office?
I came to check some things at my office...
and thought I'd stop by knowing it's Ju Hyuk's first day here.
Thank you, sir.
Mr. Geum, you're here too.
Yes.
Hello. I'm Geum Kang San, Mr. Chairman's caregiver.
Sir, is my brother-in-law taking good care of you?
Yes, he's good.
Mr. Eun, I told you. Mr. Geum has been doing a great job.
If there are things he should fix or improve on, tell me anytime.
I can discipline him.
I'll support Manager Ok and Assistant Manager Dong...
to the best of my ability,
so you can put your worries to rest.
"Assistant manager?"
Ju Hyuk, did you join the team as assistant manager?
It doesn't matter.
I don't care about my position.
I'll return to the beginner's mindset and devote myself to the company, sir.
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
Well...
You made Ju Hyuk an assistant manager, not even a deputy manager?
I know he was the head of the US branch office,
but things are done differently at the head office.
I made such a decision because he has a lot to learn.
Right, I'm sure you made the decision after long, careful consideration.
Oh, just because I let Ju Hyuk join the head office...
doesn't mean I approve of him as my grandson-in-law.
Pardon me?
I simply...
gave him a chance...
to unleash his full potential as an employee of Hwang Dong Food.
Right. I fully understand, sir.
Make sure Ju Hyuk understands that too.
Yes. I will, sir.
(Hwang Dong Food)
- What's going on today? - Why?
Mr. Eun the Cheapskate is buying us coffee. What a surprise.
"Cheapskate?"
It's Mr. Dong's first day here, so I wanted to treat everyone.
Once again, welcome to the team, Mr. Dong. Welcome!
- Thank you. - All right. Here's your coffee.
- Oh, you're back. - Yes.
I'll pay you back at home.
Pay me back now.
- All right. This is yours, Mr. Dong. - Thank you.
And this is for you, Mr. Ok.
Thank you. Mr. Geum, sorry for the trouble.
- Gosh, don't worry. Here's your coffee. - Thank you.
- Here's your coffee. - Thank you.
Kang San, you should get going.
Chairman Hwang will come out any minute now.
All right. See you.
Wait.
Didn't you come here to drop off Mr. Eun's lunch a while back?
Oh, I remember that too.
Oh, Mr. Geum. You came here to deliver his lunch?
I heard you ran a side dish store with your mother-in-law.
Mr. Eun. That day, you pretended not to know him at all.
We said we wanted to order lunchboxes from him,
but you told us not to.
Why did you do that?
Did I say that?
Were you embarrassed by your brother-in-law...
who delivered lunchboxes?
"Embarrassed?" No, it's not that.
Don't get the wrong idea.
It's not because he was embarrassed.
He likes to keep his work and home life separate. That's why.
He does?
Yes. He doesn't want his personal matters to affect his work in any way,
so he's always very careful.
Hey, you didn't have to say that.
Yes, he's right.
I like to draw clear boundaries between work and home.
Thanks, Kang San.
- Let's go to the Internet cafe. - No, I want to play soccer.
- Hey, come on. - Let's play soccer.
(Math Performance Assessment, Geum Jan Di)
Shoot.
(General Waste)
My gosh, this is seriously bad.
I can't believe she got a zero.
She only wrote her name.
Did she chuck this...
so she wouldn't have to show it to her dad?
Thank you. Please carefully discard the dressing table.
Yes, sure thing.
Gosh, my back is killing me.
Oh, goodbye.
- Sang Soo, you're home early. - You're back.
Hey, who is he?
Oh, he came to deliver the new bookcase.
What? A bookcase?
Where is it?
It's in the room now.
Gosh, that room is small. Was there enough space for it?
It took us a while to figure out a solution.
The delivery guy said he could take care of it,
so I paid him a little extra and asked him to chuck it for me.
Gosh, it costs money to throw out furniture.
What? What did you throw out?
Don't tell me...
What? What is it?
Mom, what do we do?
What?
What is it, Ye Ju?
We should leave now, sir.
Okay, wait outside.
Yes, sir.
What's up?
What do you think?
I texted you earlier, but you didn't text me back...
and didn't even answer my calls.
What are you doing for dinner?
Don't call me about stuff like this.
Then don't ask me...
to make dinner for you when you get home late.
I have a dinner meeting with some entrepreneurs today.
Kyu Chul.
He always hangs up as soon as he's done talking.
Sorry to interrupt.
I'm done tidying up the kitchen. I'll get going, then.
- Okay. - Bye.
- Doo Ho. Well... - Yes?
Would you like to have dinner with me this evening?
My brother has a dinner meeting, and my nephew has a date.
Even if I go home now, I have no one to eat with.
I should have this lunchbox.
Your future niece-in-law gave it to me earlier in the day.
- That's right. You should eat that. - Yes.
- I'll be off, then. - Okay.
- Bye. - Thank you for everything today.
What was that?
Did he reject me just now?
I have to eat alone again.
Why are we having jjajangmyeon today?
Your uncle got a new bookcase,
so we're celebrating.
Kang San is late.
He had to accompany Chairman Hwang today. He said he'd be home late.
Mom, about that thing.
Will Kang San be okay when he finds out?
Gosh, I don't know.
I'm home, Sang Soo!
- Kang San, there you are. - Hey.
Oh, you're here.
Sang Soo, you got home early.
Yes.
Dad, we're having jjajangmyeon. Shall I order one for you too?
My gosh. I was really craving jjajangmyeon.
Jan Di, I'll go get changed quickly.
Order me one too. The double portion.
- Got it. The double portion. - Okay!
Kang San, I'll order you some grilled dumplings too.
- I'd love that! - Okay.
I'm so hungry.
- I'm starving! - Gosh.
I feel so anxious.
Just let it go. What's done is done. It can't be undone.
Come on. It's no big deal. Why are you so worried?
Just eat your jjajangmyeon.
Why aren't they answering?
Sang Soo!
That thing. What did you do with it?
What are you talking about, Kang San?
Mom, this is what we were worried about.
Sang Soo.
Why are you all quiet?
What did you do with Sun Ju's dressing table?
Kang San, that's...
It was me. I threw it out.
What?
Mother, you threw out Sun Ju's dressing table?
- Mom. - What was I supposed to do?
The room is too small. There was no space for his new bookcase.
Gosh, even so.
- It's Sun Ju's dressing table. - Goodness.
No one uses it anyway.
What's the point of keeping a broken dressing table?
I couldn't stand seeing you being all sad anymore,
and Sang Soo needed space for his new bookcase.
So I threw it out.
Where?
Why do you care?
I threw it out, so it's gone.
Mother, what did you do with Sun Ju's dressing table?
Gosh, that startled me.
- Dad. - Hey!
How dare you yell at Mother?
- Gosh. - Well...
Kang San, the deliveryman took it.
What?
Sang Soo.
Did you throw it out?
Yes, it was me.
The deliveryman said he knew of a junk removal company. Okay?
Kang San, please calm down. Okay?
It's not like it's covered in gold. Stop making such a fuss.
Sit down and have some sweet and sour pork.
I'll order jjajangmyeon for you. Jan Di, give me the restaurant's number.
Okay.
Give me his number.
What?
The junk removal company. I want their number.
Kang San, do you really have to do this?
Let's be honest. It's old and unusable...
Hurry up and give me their number!
Okay.
I've been dreaming of spending time with you alone like this...
for so long.
I'm sorry.
So many things happened...
that we couldn't even have a proper date until now.
I'll do better from now on.
By the way, why did President Dong make you an assistant manager?
What?
You know you're overqualified for the position.
Last time,
he gave the marketing manager position to someone else instead of you.
I don't care about the position.
You know,
if I can be with you, I don't care about anything else.
Ju Hyuk.
Are you going to stare at my face all night?
Give me a chance to make up for not showing up the other night.
So I can order whatever I want, right?
What would be good?
Yes, the dressing table I sent earlier.
Yes, that one. What did you do with it?
Is that right?
Okay.
What did he say? He has it, right?
Well, the thing is...
He already broke it into pieces and discarded it.
He already got rid of it?
If it had been that important to you,
you should've taken better care of it.
I was told to get rid of it earlier, and that is what I did.
Look.
I should tidy up and call it a day.
Please leave.
Okay.
This is nuts.
(Understanding Communication Services and Their Policies)
(Business Administration)
Why is Kang San so square when he's still young?
Sun Ju went missing years ago.
Any other man would've gotten married again, probably twice by now.
That's not something you should say in front of her sister.
I'm only saying this because he's making so much fuss...
over that old dressing table.
You see, that dressing table.
He worked night shifts at a convenience store to buy it for her.
He said she needed a new dressing table...
in their first room together as a newlywed couple.
This room is tiny.
A new dressing table can't change anything.
They couldn't even have a proper wedding ceremony.
It's filled with memories that he and Sun Ju share.
That's why he's so upset.
She's been missing for ten years, and we don't know if she's alive.
Who cares about such memories? Goodness.
Why did you bother going out to look for it?
Oh, it must be Kang San.
Gosh.
Kang San.
Did you find the dressing table?
They already got rid of it.
Then it was a waste of time.
Ye Ju, where is Jan Di?
She's probably in her room.
Kang San, you should have dinner.
I'll eat something later, Mother.
Hey.
I'm sorry, Kang San.
It's fine.
Forget it.
Kang San, shall I look for it?
What should we do?
Are you going to keep being mad at me? You're making me uncomfortable.
Why can't we throw it out?
It was just taking up space in this tiny room.
It's not like Sun Ju will come back if you hold on to that stupid thing.
It is not stupid.
What is it, then? Is it some kind of national treasure?
That dressing table.
It was the only wedding gift I got for Sun Ju.
It was the only thing I could afford,
and I felt really bad about it.
I still vividly remember seeing Sun Ju...
smiling from ear to ear, sitting in front of the dressing table.
I could feel her presence whenever I saw it.
And you threw it out.
Hey, I apologized.
You apologized?
Forget it.
Let's drop this.
You know, Mother said...
you should've been better to Sun Ju.
What?
She said...
Sun Ju packed up and left because she deeply regretted...
having to quit ballet because of you.
Mother...
really said that?
Yes. She was like, "What's the point of being like this now?"
(Apple of My Eye)
Have you ever gotten a zero on a test?
Isn't this Jan Di's test?
Shouldn't you show it to her dad?
Kang San! My son, Kang San!
What did you do to him that he packed up and left?
His mother-in-law always says, "My successful son-in-law."
You only care about your older son-in-law.
You treat Kang San like dirt.
- Let's go to my room. - What? I treat him like dirt?
