(Episode 33)
Mi Rae, I appreciate your concern.
But I'm very busy right now.
Can we talk later?
Oh, my. I'm sorry, Ju Hyuk.
That's okay. Don't be sorry.
And...
I love you, Mi Rae.
I love you too.
Then good night.
Good night.
My gosh.
I didn't know you could be so sweet.
Here.
What is this?
Don't act like you don't know what it is.
Let's go up to the room now.
Mom, are you washing rice? Do you need a hand?
I think Kang San hates me now...
because I deleted Ho Rang's text message.
Normally, when I cook,
he checks in nonstop to ask me if I need help.
Mom, it doesn't sound like you know Kang San well enough yet.
He's not that petty, you see.
That's true.
I've never seen anyone who's more thoughtful and forgiving...
than Kang San.
Yes, exactly.
If you did the same thing to Sang Soo,
he'd be threatening to sue you now.
Hold on. What is he up to that he's nowhere to be seen?
I bet he's tussling with Jan Di now.
They're tussling?
This side of the triangle is negative x plus y plus 4.
- What? - This. This here.
- This side is 3x plus y... - Gosh.
I'm getting sleepy. Do we really have to do this?
I know you hate studying,
but you need to learn the basics. Come on.
I just need to know how to do addition subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Why should I learn such complicated equations? What for?
Gosh, I'm about to fall asleep.
Come on, Jan Di. Wake up.
Wake up. Sit up.
Sit up.
- Come on. - I knew she'd do this.
Wake up, Geum Jan Di!
Auntie Ye Ju! Why must you bother me too?
Hey, your dad didn't get any sleep last night.
I bet you had no idea.
How come Dad didn't get any sleep last night?
To teach you,
he stayed up all night and studied.
Dad, for real?
Yes. I graduated years ago,
so I forgot everything.
What? Why did you do something so useless?
Geum Jan Di.
If you keep this up, all his hard work would've been for nothing.
Whatever. Get out, Auntie Ye Ju.
My goodness. How rude.
You don't want to hear my nagging?
You're distracting me, so get out.
I have to study.
You want to study? You're going to study with me, daughter?
I'll do it for you since you worked hard to prepare for today.
Ye Ju, can you get out?
Kang San.
All right, then!
Shall we study, then?
Yes. Let's begin.
Sounds good. Look here, this side...
Ju Hyuk, come out and have breakfast!
Where is he...
My gosh.
What is this?
I guess Ju Hyuk didn't come home last night.
Kyu Chul. Ju Hyuk didn't come home last night.
Really?
I fell asleep, thinking he'd be home late.
I think he slept somewhere else last night.
I hope he's okay.
I'm sure he's fine.
No, I should try calling him.
That punk.
He probably needed some alone time to clear his head.
What do you mean?
It's nothing.
Come on! You brought it up, so finish your sentence.
You got me curious.
The person you've reached is unavailable.
He's not picking up. Where is he?
Kyu Chul, maybe he's with Mi Rae.
Nonsense.
Come on. You never know.
Thanks for the food. It was good, except for the salty soup.
Hey. Ju Hyuk will go to work, right?
Goodness.
What? The soup is salty?
He sure is the president of Hwang Dong Food.
It's a little salty.
I'll eat it anyway.
Hello.
- Hello? - Kyu Chul, it's me.
You must be on your way to work now.
Yes. What's up?
I want to discuss something with you in person. It's about the kids.
The kids?
Okay. Then we'll meet at the office.
Mr. Kwak, did you take care of it?
I found someone we could trust.
Good. Let's go.
Yes, sir.
I have to go to work.
You can rest up and check out.
You always do this.
You haven't changed at all even though you're in Korea now.
What do you want from me?
Well...
Not sure.
I don't have time for this. I have to go.
Let's head out together.
I hate being left alone.
And...
I want a gift.
I love this intense, fiery red.
Do you like it?
Yes.
What do you think?
Don't they remind you of me last night?
Not sure.
What? What's with that reaction?
Take that taxi home.
What? You're not driving me home?
Then when can I see you next?
Let me make this clear again.
Don't call me. Just wait for my call, okay?
What?
I'll call you.
You're not allowed to call me, Cha Yu Jin.
Ju Hyuk.
Did you get home safely after meeting your acquaintance last night?
Yes.
Aren't you tired?
No, I'm fine.
The meeting went well, so I got to go home early.
You're still at home, right?
Yes, I'm just getting ready for work.
Then come out for a moment.
I want to see you before I go to work.
Now?
Oh, okay.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
- Ms. Ok. - Yes?
Jan Di showed me her test yesterday.
Really? She did?
She was going to hide it from me...
but changed her mind because of your advice.
Thank you for always guiding Jan Di to the right path.
No, Jan Di made the right choice.
I just encouraged her to do the right thing. See you later.
See you.
Where is she going in such a rush?
Everyone is so busy in this modern world. I'm busy too!
Roses? What's this about, all of a sudden?
You don't like it?
It's not that.
It's just so sudden.
I wanted to give you a reward.
My father said such harsh things to you yesterday,
but you didn't falter and stayed strong.
I'm so proud of you. I mean it.
Stop it. You're making me blush.
And can I ask you a favor too?
What?
Even if you find out something else,
you'll continue to love me.
What?
Don't be afraid.
As far as I know, you would never falter.
Right?
Yes.
You should go to work too. I'll drop you off.
No, I still have some time.
You'll be late. You should get going.
All right, then.
- Good morning, Father. - Hi, good morning.
Hey, where is Jae Hyun?
He went to work early.
My goodness. Why did he go to work so early?
He said he had a meeting.
He should pay for all the wild ginseng he ate.
So please be patient with him, Grandfather.
All right. Let's see what happens.
Soo Ji, where is Mi Rae?
She should go to work soon too.
Mi Rae? I saw her going out looking excited.
She said Ju Hyuk was here to see her.
Everyone is here, including Grandpa.
My goodness. I guess Ju Hyuk came straight here...
before going to work to give you those flowers.
How dare he come to our house at this early hour?
I clearly told you that I was against your relationship.
Grandpa.
Soo Ji.
Yes, Grandfather.
Ask around...
and see if you can find a nice guy for Mi Rae.
Pardon me?
Grandpa.
Grandfather, do you really mean it?
Don't ask questions. Just do as I say, Soo Ji.
Father, what do you mean?
How many times have I told you that I do not approve of Ju Hyuk?
I don't care...
who you date as long as it's not Ju Hyuk.
I don't want to date anyone else, Grandpa.
I know you have your mother's permission, but you can't persuade me.
I'm sure President Dong feels the same way.
- Not now. - Sorry?
Now's not the right time.
Gosh, Chairman Hwang is scolding Mi Rae again.
Oh, boy.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Good morning.
- Hello. - Hi.
Mr. Dong, you're late today.
Am I?
Da Seul.
Do you stare at your watch all day instead of working?
Just do your job well instead of worrying about others' tardiness.
Mr. Eun, you scold me when I'm even just a minute late.
What? You and Mr. Dong are not on the same level.
How dare you compare yourself to Mr. Dong?
Okay, well understood.
Mr. Dong.
Yes.
You didn't go home last night, did you?
Why do you ask?
You're wearing the exact same suit and shirt as yesterday.
Oh, am I? You're very observant.
Ms. Park.
Do your work, will you? Are you all here to stalk Mr. Dong?
Well, it's just that...
He's even wearing the exact same tie.
She's right. It's the one he was wearing yesterday.
My goodness.
I had to attend a funeral.
My best friend's mother passed away, so I stayed there all night.
Oh, I see.
Mr. Dong. Who is this best friend of yours?
Is it someone I know?
No, it's someone I went to school with in the US.
I see.
My goodness.
I thought our handsome Mr. Dong...
slept somewhere else last night and came straight to work.
I'm disappointed.
Come on, Mr. Ok. Koreans are still quite conservative.
Things like one-night stands... Gosh, no way.
Mr. Dong, you must be exhausted if you stayed up all night.
Would you like some honey tea?
I'll make the tea, Ms. Park.
Da Seul, can you make me some herbal tea...
(Hwang Dong Food)
Am I talking to myself here?
(Horang Art Academy)
Ms. Ok, could you...
My gosh. What's wrong, Ms. Ok?
You've looked upset since yesterday.
Is something the matter?
No.
Come on.
You look so gloomy. It's making me sad too.
Just tell me.
You'll feel much better after venting to me.
Well, the thing is...
My grandfather isn't the only one.
Ju Hyuk's father is against our relationship too.
Gosh, really?
I overheard your phone conversation the other day.
Isn't your boyfriend's father the president of Hwang Dong Food?
He is, right?
Yes.
Then why is he against it?
If my son said...
he wanted to marry the chairman's granddaughter,
I'd be delighted.
No. I'd give you all the support you need.
You know?
That's not why Ju Hyuk is dating me.
Well, I'm just saying that's what most people would think.
Oh, sorry.
It's Ju Hyuk's aunt.
I see. Go ahead and answer it.
Thank you.
Yes, Auntie Kyu Sun.
Her name is Cha Yu Jin. She's a musical actress.
They started seeing each other when he was studying in the US.
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
Are they in a relationship?
They said they didn't get that vibe from them.
Make sure no one finds out.
Continue to keep an eye on them.
Yes. I'll let them know, sir.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Dong Ju Hyuk.
You're no saint, after all.
I hope I'm not inconveniencing you on a busy day.
No, don't worry.
There's something I wanted to ask you.
I was afraid you'd get the wrong idea if I asked you over the phone,
so I called you here.
What is it? Ask away.
Mi Rae. By any chance,
were you with Ju Hyuk last night?
No. Why?
Really? So he wasn't with you?
Auntie Kyu Sun.
Is something going on with Ju Hyuk?
No. I just wanted to ask you.
Auntie Kyu Sun.
Gosh. I like to stick my nose into everyone's business.
So of course, I'm dying to know how things are going with you two.
Things are going well between you guys, right?
Yes, of course.
He's always so good to me.
This morning, he showed up at my door with roses.
He did? Really?
Yes.
But I think he's having a hard time...
because he and President Dong keep clashing.
It makes me upset too.
Auntie Kyu Sun, is there anything I can do to help ease the tension?
I'm not sure. Those two rarely get along.
Anyway, thanks for wanting to help out. I really appreciate it.
Ms. Dong, here's a new batch of bread.
- Oh, great. - Yes.
Goodness, it smells delicious.
Hello.
- Yes, hello. - My gosh.
Do you know each other?
Yes. We met by chance a few days ago.
My gosh. Really?
Doo Ho. She is my nephew's fiancée.
Oh, I see.
I've heard a lot about you.
Ms. Dong spoke very highly...
of her future niece-in-law.
Auntie Kyu Sun has told me so much about you too.
I really wanted to meet you.
Thank you.
I'm Ok Mi Rae.
I teach kids at the art academy across the street.
I'll probably see you often from now on.
It's very nice to meet you. Please take good care of Auntie Kyu Sun.
My gosh. See? She's so sweet and adorable.
Oh, right. Thank you for the lunchbox. It was very good.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
Hold on.
Hey. He looks like a tough guy, doesn't he?
He's actually TOSI. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside.
Gosh, please.
Hold on. These just came out of the oven.
Try one.
They look delicious. Thank you.
No problem.
It's so good. It's soft and delicious.
- Right? Isn't it delicious? - Yes.
My, it smells so good.
Auntie Kyu Sun.
Sure.
Hey, let me try this one.
- It's really good. - Yes. My gosh!
Oh, my. This is it.
My Haeng Bok...
must be around her age.
Oh, boy.
Were you out for a walk?
Yes.
Can you get me a glass of water?
- Sure thing, sir. - Thanks.
Are you heading out to try and persuade President Dong?
Yes.
Do you only care about Mi Rae?
Do you not care about Jae Hyun and Jun Pyo?
I need President Dong to become my son-in-law...
and my right-hand man.
Why don't you know it'll only help us out?
I'll see you later, Father.
- Hey! - Guys!
(When your friends are hurt, embrace and comfort them.)
Why did you want to talk to me alone here?
You know why.
Oh, by any chance...
That's right.
You're unbelievable.
Who said you could show my test to your aunt?
Don't you know that it's a violation of the Personal Information Protection Act?
My, look at you. You got a zero on your test.
How do you know such difficult words?
What?
Right, you're glued to your phone all day.
I guess you read about it somewhere.
You little...
Anyway, who else have you told?
About what?
That I got a zero on the test. Who else have you told?
Don't worry. I haven't told anyone else besides my aunt.
You're sure, right?
Yes.
Anyway, has your dad seen your test?
Thanks to you, I had no choice but to show him. Happy now?
And? Did your dad scold you harshly?
What? Why would you worry about that?
Well, just because.
I confessed the truth, so I don't feel guilty anymore.
But I'll be forced to study, thanks to you.
That's great. You need to study.
I mean, how could you get a zero? I couldn't believe my eyes.
- What? - Jan Di.
Hey.
Why are you alone with him?
I had to talk to him about something.
If you tell anyone else, you're dead meat.
You don't need to repeat yourself.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Hwa Jin.
I can count on what you said the last time, right?
You said you'd meet Kang San again...
if he got a divorce.
Okay. Then I'll make sure my son gets a divorce...
as soon as possible.
All right, then. I'll see you later at the club.
If this rich club owner marries my son,
I can finally...
That's right. I can finally live a comfortable life.
But...
Kang San keeps saying he'll never get a divorce.
He won't budge. What should I do?
I wish the people around him...
could put some pressure on him...
to please get a divorce.
Hold on.
Ho Rang, yes.
Ho Rang and Ho Sik. There were two tigers.
Yes.
Ho Rang, do you like Kang San?
Gosh, it's too hot.
Hey!
You have a crush on him, don't you?
Hey, what are you talking about?
Come to think of it, it's very suspicious.
When Kang San got the job, you bought him that expensive beef.
You took Kang San and his father to that expensive steakhouse.
Then you had drinks with him and didn't even tell me.
I kept it from you because I thought you'd get mad at us...
if you found out that we met up without you.
Then why did you say that?
You said you wouldn't be coming home that night.
Don't tell me you were planning on spending the night with Kang San.
What? Of course not! That's crazy!
That day, I was so upset because I found out my ex-husband was remarrying.
So I was going to just cry all night in a motel room.
But you said you didn't care if he remarried...
over and over again.
That's just something I said.
My ex-husband is remarrying. How could I not be bothered by it?
I got all emotional and had mood swings. It's only natural.
All right, I understand.
Then what did you and Kang San talk about that night?
He thinks he should've been better to Sun Ju.
He kept beating himself up.
For Jan Di, he wants to do all the things he couldn't do for Sun Ju.
He's such a wonderful father.
Right, he sure is one of a kind. You'll never meet another fool like him.
Hey! Why do you keep saying mean things about that sweet guy?
"Sweet," you say? No, he's dumb.
Just keep your mouth shut if you know nothing.
What do you mean I know nothing?
I know Kang San as well as you know him.
As soon as he graduated from high school,
he took in someone else's child...
No. Gosh, forget it.
What?
What is it? Just finish your sentence.
Gosh, I can't tell you.
This is so frustrating!
What? Tell me before you leave!
He always acts like he knows Kang San's secrets or something.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Why did you ask for me?
Sit down.
I'm busy, so get straight to the point.
I told you many times to end things with Mi Rae.
Did you hire someone to tail me, Father?
Those pictures.
What do you think will happen if Mi Rae and Chan Ran see them?
Don't tell me...
you're threatening me right now.
Well...
I believe that will depend on what you decide to do.
Sir, Ms. Hwang is here.
I'm here, Kyu Chul.
(Apple of My Eye)
For Jan Di's sake,
he should remarry as soon as possible.
Grandpa!
Ms. Jang, what did my grandpa ask you to do?
Mom, what did President Dong say?
I'm sorry, Mi Rae.
Ju Hyuk, didn't you say you went home after meeting your acquaintance?
So you lied to me?
