(Episode 37)
Jan Di, you should have breakfast before going to school.
Come here.
Give this back to Grandpa.
Or just throw it out.
Jan Di.
Kang San, Mom won't have breakfast.
I think she's still in shock because of what happened yesterday.
Where's Jan Di?
She left for school.
I see that she didn't eat.
She's at it again.
She goes on a hunger strike whenever she's upset. I'm sick of it.
Let's eat without them, Ye Ju. Here.
You should hurry up and go to the store.
Kang San.
Isn't this what your father gave Jan Di as a gift?
Jan Di told me to give it back to him.
Oh, my. She must be really upset this time...
seeing that she's even returning...
the merchandise of Pink Blue that she cherishes.
(Sun Bakery)
- I made cake rolls as you asked. - Thanks.
I guess you're visiting someone special.
Oh, I'm going to visit Mi Rae's family.
You mean, your future niece-in-law?
- Yes. - Give it to me. I'll do it.
- Thank you. - Don't mention it.
Mi Rae's mother and I are close friends.
We're more like sisters.
Mi Rae's mother is such a great person.
Actually, Mi Rae was adopted.
She lost her biological daughter in an accident.
Wait. What time is it now? I should get going now.
Okay. It's done.
- Here you go. - Okay.
- Here. - Thank you.
- Then please watch the bakery for me. - Sure.
Don't worry about the bakery.
And have a great time.
Now that you work here, I have nothing to worry about...
even when I have to step out. It's so nice.
I feel so easy and... How should I put it?
I feel so relaxed as if I were lying on soft cotton balls.
Oh, boy. I might not even visit Chan Ran at this rate.
- I'll really get going now. - Okay. See you later.
See you.
Hey, have you sorted out the matter...
that troubled you?
Since I tried not to hurt my daughter's feelings,
I ended up hurting my father's.
Well... It's not easy...
to keep both your child and parents happy...
at the same time.
It must be because I'm not good enough to do so.
That's not true.
Not many people manage to fulfill their duties as a child and a parent.
Well, I hope that's true.
You can trust me on that. You may leave now.
Oh, and thank you for your hard work.
Pardon?
By any chance, are you letting me go?
What? Don't you know what day it is today?
Today?
Today...
Today is...
Thank you.
You've been doing a wonderful job in taking care of my father.
It must not have been easy as he's a difficult person to deal with.
Thank you.
Don't say that. I should be thanking you for the opportunity to work here.
Please keep taking good care of my father, Mr. Geum.
Of course. I'll do my best.
You must be happy, Mr. Geum.
Yes.
Soo Ji, are you leaving now?
Yes, I'm going to a school reunion, Mother.
Look at that. The envelope is as thick as a brick.
Actually, I put in an extra amount...
for the overtime hours you worked.
Thank you. I really appreciate it, Ms. Hwang.
Oh, right. Soo Ji.
Why don't you drive him to the bus stop on your way out?
Pardon?
He's leaving for the day now.
It's on the way.
But he'll make the whole car stink like a widower.
That's okay. I can walk to the bus stop.
See? He says he prefers to walk.
Even so...
I'll get going now.
Then goodbye.
Goodbye.
Gosh. Soo Ji, what is your problem?
Why?
About your mother...
What about her? What are you trying to say this time?
I just want to say that I'll watch people on the streets closely from now on...
to see if there's anyone who looks like your mother.
Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Have you lost your mind?
How would he even recognize my mom?
(Horang Art Academy)
Hello, Ms. Ok.
- Oh, hello. You're here. - Yes.
You said you wanted to show me something.
Oh, right. Jan Di drew her mother in her class.
I asked you to come because I thought it'd be nice if you saw her drawing.
Jan Di drew her mother?
Yes.
By any chance, is that it?
Oh, that? No, that's not it. Please come.
Okay.
Please wait here.
Sure.
This is her drawing.
Okay.
This is...
She said she had seen her mother's photos,
but this was the image of her mother...
in her head.
She also said that she hoped her mother would take a step at a time...
back to her with this foot.
She told me that her mother used to do ballet.
Yes.
Jan Di's mother...
did ballet for a long time.
So her feet were all bumpy.
I told that to Jan Di a few times before.
I'm impressed.
Jan Di...
did a great job. It does look like her foot.
I'm sure it was possible because Jan Di...
was desperate to find her mother.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Kang San.
- When did you come? - Hi, Ho Rang.
Jan Di hasn't come yet.
That's okay. I came here because Ms. Ok asked me to.
She said she would show me Jan Di's drawing.
Oh, this one?
We framed it to display it.
She hasn't learned to draw for so long,
but look how realistic the foot she drew is.
I can see that.
Look. She even drew all the details of the bones in the toes.
Isn't she amazing?
Since she started taking classes here,
she's improved her drawing skills greatly.
She owes it to you and Ms. Ok. You two taught her so well.
What?
(Mom)
"Mom?"
Ms. Ok, is the title of this drawing "Mom?"
Yes. Jan Di named the drawing herself.
She said she had drawn her mother's foot.
Oh, I see. What Jan Di drew was...
her mother's foot.
Oh, no.
I didn't even know that.
Then I'll be off, Ho Rang.
Ms. Ok.
Thank you.
Gosh. I'm so embarrassed.
Without even knowing it was Jan Di's mom's foot,
I went on about the details of the toes in front of Kang San.
I didn't know at first either.
I couldn't even imagine she'd describe her mother this way.
I'm so upset about how Jan Di feels about her mom.
I mean, why would she miss her mom who abandoned her?
That's why Kang San can't even think of getting a divorce.
Right?
Hi, Chan Ran, I'm here.
Welcome. It's good to see you again.
Oh, my. This place hasn't changed at all.
It's always the same here, you know.
I couldn't call you first because I knew...
you had so much on your plate. You understand me, right?
Of course.
You must've been in an awkward position stuck between us.
You two must've been the most distressed in that situation.
Oh, right. Here. I brought you some bread from my bakery.
It might sound like I'm bragging,
but our bread is so delicious.
Thank you for this.
Your father is in his room, right?
Yes, he is. Do you want to see him now?
Yes.
- Could you... - Yes.
take this and make some tea for us?
Yes, Ms. Hwang.
Thank you.
Let's go, Kyu Sun.
Okay. Let's go.
Oh, my. Mr. Hwang, you look much better now.
Well...
The wild ginseng that your brother bought for me...
did help me regain my energy.
Oh, I guess Kyu Chul still comes over to see Mr. Hwang.
I thought he would be uncomfortable seeing Chan Ran after the breakup...
and couldn't come here again.
To be honest,
I knew about their relationship.
Well... That being said, Mr. Hwang,
can I ask you a favor?
What is it?
Kyu Chul and Chan Ran would've made a great couple,
but Ju Hyuk and Mi Rae have their whole lives ahead of them.
So please approve of their relationship once and for all. Okay?
What?
See?
Kyu Sun also thinks that Ju Hyuk and Mi Rae look great together.
I'll never approve of their relationship.
Why, Mr. Hwang?
Ju Hyuk is a really good man.
He and Mi Rae...
are like a pair of mandarin ducks perching on a branch in the woods.
They look so sweet together.
It's a blessing from the sky.
I don't want to hear it!
Leave right now if you're going to keep talking nonsense.
What?
Father, please.
Who did that?
- Oh, my. Dad. - Are you just getting here?
Dad, what brings you here?
I came here because I wanted to see you. Give me your backpack.
(Old-Fashioned Tteokbokki)
Oh, no.
Actually, I was really hungry.
I'm glad you came to see me.
Eat up.
Why?
Why are you watching me eat like that? I'm embarrassed.
I saw your drawing earlier.
Which one?
The framed one.
Oh, that?
Gosh. Why did you see that?
Jan Di.
How about I make you a promise?
What promise?
Well... I promise you will...
meet your mom again one day.
But you must study hard at school, practice drawing hard,
and get along well with your friends. What do you say?
I'm not a little child, you know.
How can you promise that? Are you stupid?
I can promise you. Trust me.
Forget it.
If Mom will come back,
I want it to happen very soon.
Why?
You know why.
What if Grandpa tries to make you divorce her again...
before she comes back?
Come on. I told you not to worry about it.
Don't be so sure. They say your feelings can change easily.
- Dad. - Yes?
When you eat deep-fried food with tteokbokki,
this is the best way to enjoy it. Watch this.
Here.
Come on. It's a little spicy, but try it. It's really tasty.
Okay.
What do you think?
- It's good. - Right?
(Hwang Dong Food)
How's the business with the company in the Middle East going?
We discussed it again intensively at today's managers' meeting.
Ju Hyuk also attended the meeting and suggested good ideas.
Good.
I met your mother a few days ago.
Oh, did you meet her to discuss things regarding the welfare foundation?
No, that's not it.
What do you think, Jae Hyun?
About your mother staying single.
My mother?
I don't know. I haven't really thought about that.
She's been single for a long time.
Don't you want her to find a good man now?
As you know,
my mother isn't interested in that matter.
Then at least you should think about it.
Your grandfather dearly hopes she'll find someone as well.
Well, my grandfather always tells her to get remarried soon.
Mr. Ok.
Didn't you say you had a meeting with the product development team?
Oh, right. I forgot about the meeting.
Then may I be excused now?
Sure. Go on.
Yes.
Now then...
(Hwang Dong Food)
Are you going to tell Jae Hyun too?
About what?
About your relationship with Ms. Hwang.
If you don't end things with Mi Rae, I'd have no reason not to do so.
No. You can't do that.
What makes you think so?
You couldn't tell Ms. Hwang...
that I was seeing another woman.
Tell me.
Do you even love Mi Rae?
There's no reason why I can't love her.
(Dong Kyu Chul)
I heard he was strongly against their relationship.
But I didn't know he hated it that much.
All I did was ask him to approve of their relationship.
And he almost kicked me out of this house.
You must've been very surprised.
My gosh. It must be very hard for you too to deal with him.
By the way, your father...
disapproves of Ju Hyuk because...
he still wants you to marry Kyu Chul, right?
Yes.
I'm worried about my father,
but now, even your brother is against their relationship too.
What should I do now?
I heard he asked Mi Rae to come to see him...
to tell her he disapproved of her.
Kyu Sun.
Can you help me to convince Kyu Chul, at least?
Actually, I asked you to come over to ask you this favor.
Chan Ran, I've already tried to change his mind so many times.
I thought he would give up at least for Ju Hyuk.
But he's getting even worse every day.
My goodness.
Oh, my. Where did the time go?
Since I chatted with you after a long time, I lost track of time.
I should go now.
Stay for dinner.
I can't. I've been out for too long. I should go back to the bakery.
I see. Then let's eat together some other time.
Okay.
I realized how intense first love could be...
when I saw how Kyu Chul handled everything.
When he was in high school,
he was totally head over heels for you, remember?
Such a blunt man like him...
wrote tens of love letters to you.
Why would you bring up the old days?
Gosh. Look at me.
I'm chattering again when I came out to leave.
Gosh, those mean wenches.
I'll never attend reunions.
Anyway, I'll talk to Kyu Chul again.
Right. Try to change his mind.
Tell him to give up on me because I won't change my mind.
Of course, that's the right thing to do.
Even though he has a crush on you,
Ju Hyuk and Mi Rae are dating now.
It's ridiculous that he still wants...
to marry you.
What do you mean by that?
Oh, my. Soo Ji.
My gosh. Soo Ji.
I heard you were out to meet friends and would come back late.
You're home early.
I had a fight with my friends and came home.
By the way, is what I just heard true, Mother?
What?
Are you going to marry President Dong?
The thing is...
No way. You two are not in a relationship, are you?
Chan Ran.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Everyone, we haven't had a chance to throw Mr. Dong a welcoming party.
How about we have dinner together today?
I'm sorry, but I have plans today, Mr. Ok.
What? Really? What are your plans?
I'm going to meet my girlfriend.
Oh, my. I didn't know you had a girlfriend.
Gosh, Ms. Park. Why are you so surprised?
I mean, would such a handsome man like him...
be single just like you?
Right. Of course, he's very popular with girls.
Mr. Dong, with whom are you going on a date?
Well... You don't have to know.
Gosh. Fine. I won't ask again.
What?
Oh, it's her.
Hi, honey.
What do you mean by that?
Mom and who?
What?
Yes. Okay. I'll go home early.
Here. This is my gift for my sweet daughter Jan Di.
- Oh, it looks so nice. - My gosh. It's a set of 36 colors.
- It has a lot of colors. - Do you like it?
- Yes, I'm crazy happy. - How nice.
- I love you, Dad. - I love you too.
And this is for you, Mother.
Hey, you didn't have to get me a gift too.
You probably have no money left from your first paycheck.
I mean... You see, I don't like hats. They make me feel stuffy.
Return it and get a refund.
Goodness. Mom, just take it and thank him.
Since he got his first paycheck,
he must've wanted to buy us nice gifts.
That's one of the good things about making money. Right, Kang San?
Yes. That's exactly how I feel, Ye Ju.
Goodness, you. You've never gotten a paycheck before.
How would you know how it feels?
I know that much even though I have no experience.
Just wait until I get my first paycheck.
I'll buy you all expensive beef ribs.
Gosh. Get a job first, you brat.
Come on. I'll get a job soon.
- Oh, dear. What are you doing? - Look at you.
- Oh, my. - Great.
You look amazing in that hat.
Really?
Hey, did this cost you a lot?
Stop it. You're doing it again.
- What? - Don't worry about that.
Just enjoy wearing it, Mother.
Really? Well, it really is colorful and pretty, right?
And this is for you, Sang Soo.
Here.
Oh, my. It's a skin toner.
I needed one.
But why didn't you get me a lotion that comes with it too?
I'll buy you a lotion next month.
Okay. I mean, you owe me that much.
I'm the one who helped you get the job as the chairman's caregiver.
Had I not recommended you, you wouldn't even have dreamed...
of getting that kind of job.
I'm always grateful to you for that.
With the money I earn,
I can save up enough money to pay the increased deposit.
This job took a weight off my mind, and I owe it all to you.
That's right. I'm glad you know that.
- Kang San. - Yes?
What about me?
Let's see what I have for you.
I'll give you an allowance.
My gosh.
What? You gave her cash?
Yes, Sang Soo.
Oh, my.
- My goodness. - This is a lot of money.
You're so generous.
I'll give you an allowance from my paycheck from now on.
But promise you won't ask Mother for more money, okay?
- Okay. - My gosh. Kang San.
There's no point in doing this.
I bet she'll ask me for more money after receiving some from you.
No, I promise I won't do that, Mom.
Thank you so much, Kang San.
- There's a hat too. - What?
What? Oh, is that for your father?
Well, yes.
I still hate Grandpa.
- Jan Di. Wait. - My gosh.
Hey, wait, sweetie pie.
Oh, boy.
Is Jan Di still upset with your father?
Because he tried to make you get a divorce?
I think so.
- Oh, dear. - Oh, dear.
Now, do a turn.
Here we go.
That's good. Twirl.
Gosh, be a little gentle, will you? I feel dizzy.
Don't be a crybaby.
We should dance like crazy on a day like this.
- Now, let's dance. - But...
- Gosh. Hey, look who's here. - Keep twirling.
Okay. Twirl.
I'm here, Father.
Why are you here?
I don't want to see you. Just leave.
I'll cut all ties with you and Jan Di. So go now.
Father.
Leave. I said, go!
Stop acting so tough in front of your son.
You know you can't cut ties with them.
You've been too upset to even eat food.
That's not true.
Thinking that I won't see them again,
I'm so excited that I can't stop dancing.
Come on. That's a lie too.
You said you were so upset and had to dance to feel better.
Kyung Ja, stop saying nonsense.
I'll leave you two alone.
(Apple of My Eye)
Why does Grandpa keep calling me?
Don't think I'll ever pick up.
I heard Jan Di drew something.
Gosh. She just drew an ugly foot.
Is that true?
That Mom and President Dong were to be engaged?
Your mother gave up because of Mi Rae.
My mother really did that?
You'll keep rooting for us, right?
Since I heard about my mom from your father,
I do feel sorry for her as well.
Then what about Mi Rae? She'll be shocked.
