(Episode 42)
- Kang San. - Hey, Ho Rang.
What were you two doing here...
in the dark?
Ms. Jang.
And why is Ms. Ok crying?
I came here because Ho Sik asked me to change a light bulb.
Okay. And what?
I saw Ms. Ok sitting here...
I was sitting here when he found me.
I wanted to be alone.
And this was the only place I could think of.
I'm sorry for surprising you, Ms. Jang.
Oh, I see.
Is that true?
Yes, it's true.
But why were you crying?
I'm sure Kang San didn't make you cry.
Oh, wait. By any chance, was it about your boyfriend?
Ms. Jang, I'll get going now.
Will you be okay alone?
Shall we take you home?
No, that's okay. Now then...
Haeng Bok.
You must be doing well somewhere, right?
Daddy hopes you're doing fine.
And...
I am...
really sorry.
Are you in there, Mr. Kim?
Yes.
Hello. What's up?
- Hello. - Hello, Mr. Kim.
Hi, Jan Di.
I brought you some boiled sweet potatoes for a night snack.
I thought you might be hungry.
You always share food with me. Thank you for this.
- Don't mention it. - Thank you.
- Grandma. - Yes?
Can I hang out with him in his room for a while?
What?
I want to have a chat with him.
Mr. Kim, you don't mind, do you?
Sure.
Oh, no. Wouldn't that inconvenience you?
Not at all.
Then don't stay here for too long.
Come back shortly so that you won't bother him.
Okay. I'll do that, Grandma.
Okay.
Well, then...
- Thank you. I'll enjoy this. - No problem.
Enjoy the snack.
There.
- Mr. Kim. - Yes?
Shall I peel a sweet potato for you?
No, that's okay.
I'll do it for you.
You saved my life. I should at least do this for you.
Those darn thugs...
I mean, you saved me from the delinquent boys.
That was no big deal.
That's not true. It was an amazing thing to do.
And you were so cool.
I want to meet a man like you in the future.
My dad is great as well,
but to be honest, he's too nice.
He's foolishly kind.
So he always let others take advantage of him.
He frustrates me quite often.
There. Done.
Please have this.
Okay. Thank you.
You see, I'm going to marry a strong man like you who's good at fighting...
with a big, muscular body.
That's because you're young.
When you grow up, you'll probably change your thoughts.
Maybe.
By the way, do you have a nickname?
A nickname?
You don't have one? I do.
What's your nickname?
Other kids call me Poop Jan Di.
Poop Jan Di?
They just make fun of my name since it means weeds.
But I don't care.
As a matter of fact, weeds are very strong and tough.
Right, Mr. Kim?
Oh, my.
My dad used to tie my hair with a hair tie like this.
Is this yours?
Yes.
I see. I guess you have a daughter too.
Can I try this on?
Yes, of course.
But why don't you live with her?
Oh, that's...
Well...
How do I look?
Do I look good?
Oh, my. It looks good.
You see, I was really surprised back there.
I thought you made Ms. Ok cry.
I told you I didn't make her cry.
Do you still not believe me?
It's not like that. I do believe you.
Anyway, it's so nice that we're walking side by side...
like this. Right?
- Is it? - Yes.
It's so romantic and...
Ho Rang.
It's just that I hurt this arm a little while changing the light bulb.
Oh, no. Then shall I stand on this side?
Actually, this arm hurts a little bit too.
Oh, okay. I see.
I wonder if it will get better after a good night's sleep.
It must hurt a lot. I'm worried.
By the way, I heard...
both Ms. Ok's parents and her boyfriend's were against their relationship.
I guess she's very distressed.
That's understandable, you know.
That being said, what do you think?
About what?
Are you really determined to stay married to Sun Ju?
Yes, I'll stay married to her.
But your father seemed very upset.
Why don't you reconsider it?
I won't think about it now. Jan Di is still too young.
She's not too young. She's already in eighth grade.
Go home, Ho Rang. It's getting late.
Well... Okay.
Then go home safely, Kang San.
Bye.
(Common Job Interview Questions)
All right. The first question.
Let's start with a self-introduction, okay?
Yes. Sounds good, Sang Soo.
Ms. Lee Ye Ju, you're older than many other candidates.
I'm not only older than them,
but also more passionate than them and ready to dedicate myself to work.
Good. The third question. The ability to understand duties.
"Tell us about the person you respect the most and why."
The person I respect the most is my brother-in-law.
You mean, me?
No, not you. I'm talking about Kang San.
What's the reason?
My younger brother-in-law became a part of my family when I was a kid.
He's been like a father and elder brother to me ever since.
He's been taking care of my family as a reliable member of the family.
Then what do you think about your older brother-in-law?
In a word, he's a cheapskate.
I can't argue with that.
Ms. Lee, you graduated a while ago, but don't have any work experience.
How did you get money for your expenses?
I worked part-time at a side dish store.
And...
By any chance,
have you been mooching off of your mother or brothers-in-law?
Yes.
I've been mooching off...
of my mother and brothers-in-law. It's true.
But I spent the entire period of time developing my abilities...
and waiting for an opportunity to join this company.
If you give me a chance,
I will devote myself to helping Gichan Cosmetics grow...
and make sure to repay my mother and brothers-in-law.
Oh, my. She has her own sly way of avoiding a difficult question.
Sang Soo, you're good at intimidating an interviewee.
Good. You passed.
- Really? I passed? - You passed.
I passed!
Oh, yes!
If you get the job, you owe it to me.
Of course.
Hey.
Why do you keep making Kang San do your work?
He hurt his shoulders because of you!
He hurt his shoulders? Why?
He pulled some muscles while changing the light bulb.
He hurt both of his shoulders.
Nonsense.
Why would he hurt his shoulders while changing a light bulb?
How would I know?
By the way, you said you were going on a blind date. Did you get rejected?
Gosh.
How did she know that?
It's obvious.
You're eating ramyeon alone at home.
What happened?
Don't get me started.
She asked about my salary, so I told her honestly.
Then she said she was busy and left.
Oh, no. Did she really do that, my dear brother?
What kind of woman is she to be so picky?
You don't have to know.
Ho Rang, why don't you give me a raise since we're talking about it?
No.
Right, of course. What was I expecting?
You know, I'm not picky at all about whom I date.
I'm a pure-hearted and competent woman.
But Kang San won't open up his heart to me.
What?
What did you just say, Ho Rang?
What? I didn't say anything.
Hey, you're late. Did you stop by some place?
Yes, I helped with the work at Ho Rang's academy.
Does that mean...
you met Ho Rang?
Well, yes.
Right. You don't have to look far to find love, Kang San.
What are you talking about?
Think about it.
Who's the only woman around you? It's Ms. Jang.
So who knows?
You refuse to meet someone new while living like a widower,
but she might sway you and get into your heart.
Sang Soo, Ho Rang is like my own sister.
Goodness, you.
That's how people fall in love,
get married, and have babies. Just make the bed now.
Sang Soo, that's ridiculous.
I'm home.
Oh, my. Mi Rae.
Mi Rae.
Mi Rae, are you all right?
Yes, Mom.
My goodness. Her eyes look so puffy.
She must've cried her eyes out before coming home.
Gosh. Honey, please.
All right. It's because I'm uneducated.
Mi Rae, are you sure you're fine?
Don't worry. I'm really okay.
But you couldn't even tell me until now.
You've been heartbroken, right?
I already ended things with President Dong.
And no matter how strongly your grandfather is against it,
I'll make sure you marry Ju Hyuk.
Mom.
So don't be too upset, Mi Rae.
Mom.
I have something to tell Grandpa before he goes to bed.
Don't waste your energy and leave.
I...
won't ever approve of you marrying Ju Hyuk.
Father, hear what she has to say before you get mad at her.
What else is there to hear from her? I know what she wants to say.
Grandpa.
I'll break up with Ju Hyuk.
- What? - Mi Rae.
What are you saying?
Earlier, I overheard the conversation...
you had with President Dong in front of our house.
I see.
You were going to find out eventually.
I think it's good that you heard us.
And I understand that you must be upset...
about Mom giving up on getting remarried because of me.
I'm sorry, Grandpa.
Without even knowing that,
I was so immature and stubborn about dating Ju Hyuk.
I'm really sorry, Grandpa.
Now that you know, it's all good.
Mi Rae, don't be like this.
How are you going to give up on Ju Hyuk?
Mom, I'm really fine.
I can be happy without him.
Grandpa.
I won't see Ju Hyuk ever again.
Please trust me.
- Mi Rae, I need to talk to you. - Yes?
I have nothing else to say, Mom.
As I told Grandpa, I'll break up with Ju Hyuk.
You're breaking up with him because of me, right?
I told you that wasn't the reason.
Your happiness matters the most to me.
I just want you and Ju Hyuk to love each other as you do now...
and become happy together. That's all I want.
Mom, you said you wanted me to be happy, right?
But...
to me, nothing matters more than your happiness.
What?
And Grandpa and Jae Hyun are also important to me.
Everyone in our family is important to me.
So I don't want to be with Ju Hyuk...
if I have to break your hearts.
Mi Rae, please.
Mom, please.
All right. I understand.
You must've had a long day today. Get some rest now.
Okay. You should rest up too.
What are you doing?
You called me out last minute, but have been so quiet since I got here.
What is it?
I suppose something didn't go as you planned.
You don't have to know.
Is it about...
that girl called Ok Mi Rae?
I have to make her mine for sure this time.
But I can't do that just by pretending I love her.
Why on earth do you have to do that?
I mean, you have...
an easy woman to love like me by your side.
Why?
I don't know.
I'd say it's to collect an overdue debt.
An overdue debt?
Making my mother's life...
miserable.
I should make that person pay the price for it.
Or I'll have to force her to pay against her will.
The last one. Okay.
To meet younger women,
I should maintain physical strength.
Always stay strong physically.
Keep going.
Good.
Geum Sun Dal, you met other women again, didn't you?
Women?
If that's not the case,
how are you going to explain these lipstick stains?
I see 2 different colors, not just 1.
You meet two women at once these days?
I don't understand where I got the stains.
Oh, I know.
I think it happened on the bus.
On my way home from Kang San's store last night,
the bus was so crowded.
Crowded?
That's right. And the bus...
kept shaking from left to right and from right to left...
So in the moving bus, some stranger wenches...
left lip marks on a man's shirt...
right on the chest like this? Is that it?
Yes. That's exactly what happened.
Honey, you're so smart. You understood what happened right away.
You're giving me that glare again.
You're scaring me, honey.
I brought some side dishes from Kang San's store.
We enjoyed the food together. Don't do this first thing in the morning.
Be careful.
If I catch you in the act,
I will...
I really mean it this time.
I'll kick you out of my house once and for all. Got it?
Stop scaring me.
I love only you as I always say, Kyung Ja.
Only you.
"Only me?"
Only you.
- Goodness, you. - Only you...
I knew it.
Don't tell me you'll miss work.
What brings you to my room?
I'm sure it's not because you're worried about me.
What?
You must be very anxious about not taking over the company.
Did you talk to Mi Rae so she could understand?
It's none of your business.
I guess it didn't go well.
Mi Rae is naturally tender-hearted.
Don't push her too hard.
It's best to use emotional appeals to persuade her.
Persuade her?
Mi Rae found out about you and Ms. Hwang.
And you want me to persuade her?
My gosh. What do you mean by that?
Mi Rae found out about you and Chan Ran?
Just as you heard, Auntie Kyu Sun.
Mi Rae found out that Father and Ms. Hwang...
were to be engaged.
Kyu Chul, is that true? Is it?
Yes.
Goodness gracious. I can't believe this.
Gosh, she looks so tacky.
Auntie Ye Ju, no one wears makeup like that these days.
Why? Do I look weird?
Of course, you look weird.
If you go to the job interview looking like that, you'll fail right away.
You said it was a cosmetic company.
Do I really look that tacky?
Gosh. What should I do?
Yes. You look awful.
Why don't you...
let me do it for you?
Gosh. Forget it. You're a kid. What do you know about makeup?
What? Don't you know that teenagers are better at makeup these days?
- Forget it if you don't want my help. - Wait.
Are you sure?
All right. Then give it a try.
Give me the lipstick. And close your eyes first.
Okay. Here you go.
I told you to close your eyes.
The overlip look with overlined lips and sharp edges...
is popular these days.
You will love this.
There.
Turn around and check yourself in the mirror.
- Can I open my eyes now? - Yes.
Okay.
Hey, Geum Jan Di, got a death wish?
Why? I'm sure you'll stand out.
Gosh, seriously.
Dear me. I think I should wash my face again.
Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
- Ye Ju, what are you doing? - Gosh.
Hey, Ye Ju.
Put this scarf around your neck.
Goodness. Mom, I can't wear a cheap scarf like this.
You should wear a vivid color like this...
to draw the interviewers' attention...
so that they'll ask you more questions than they have to.
I don't think so. This would rather put me on the spot.
Come on. Just try it on.
It may not look expensive,
but it makes your face look more vibrant.
Here. I'll put it around your neck.
You'll see what I mean. Put it around your neck and tie it.
My goodness. You look so pretty. My daughter looks stunning.
Oh, nice. You look quite good in it.
- Right? - Yes.
- Right. - Well... I don't know.
I hope it's not too flashy.
Look at you. But...
Ye Ju.
What's with your makeup?
I know, right? Jan Di...
- What? - You brat.
What are they doing in that room?
Ye Ju has a job interview this afternoon.
Afternoon? Then why are they making a fuss already?
Since Ye Ju is very hopeful this time, everyone wants to help her get ready.
Guys.
Here comes the gorgeous Princess Ye Ju.
Come on. Stop it, Mom. I'm embarrassed.
Because you look beautiful.
My goodness. Ye Ju.
Why are you looking like that? Are you going on "Korea Sings?"
- What? - What do you mean, Sang Soo?
Kang San, how do I look?
What? Well, Ye Ju...
You look nice, but how about you put on makeup as you usually do?
You mean, I don't look good? Is that it?
Well, I mean...
"Not good" isn't the right expression to describe how you look.
If you just put a flower in your head, you'd look like a crazy person.
That's so mean, Sang Soo.
Ye Ju, Sang Soo told me...
that you did great while practicing last night.
So put on makeup as you usually do.
And do as you practiced until now...
and be confident. Then you'll get the job.
Really?
Of course. I'm sure of it.
Ye Ju, you've got this! You know, right?
Right, Auntie Ye Ju. You've got this.
Yes. Right. Ye Ju, I'm rooting for you too.
What are you waiting for, Uncle Sang Soo?
Ye Ju, you can do it.
My goodness.
Oh, gosh.
Goodness gracious.
(Sun Bakery)
Ms. Dong, are you worried about something?
Sorry?
You keep sighing so heavily all day long.
Ju Hyuk and Mi Rae...
might part ways forever.
Oh, you mean, your nephew and his girlfriend?
Didn't you say they wanted to get married?
Yes, they did. They wanted that.
But it's over now.
Looks like it won't work out between them.
Oh, I see.
His girlfriend seemed so nice and pretty.
Exactly.
That's a shame.
Actually,
she looked like a wild flower and felt familiar to me,
so I liked her very much.
You liked her too?
Yes.
"She must've been so pretty and cute as a child."
I thought that too.
You're right.
Mi Rae is so kind and pure-hearted.
That's why I'm so upset about their breakup.
(Sun Bakery)
Hello, Ms. Ok.
I see that you're leaving for work later than usual.
Yes.
I wondered if you got home safely last night.
But it was too late to call you.
That's okay. I should've let you know.
But I was so out of it. I'm sorry.
That's okay.
But are you all right?
Well... Pardon?
You look a little pale.
Oh, I see.
I'm fine. I'll get going now.
Okay.
Have a good day.
Ms. Ok.
Ms. Ok, wake up.
Oh, gosh. Is anyone there...
What about Mi Rae? Did something happen to her?
I think Mi Rae tried so hard to pretend she was okay...
and got sick.
Hey, Ju Hyuk!
Could I finally have an employee ID card like other people?
- Gosh. That startled me. - What?
Really?
Kyu Chul, we have a problem.
What should we do, Kyu Chul?
I just heard that Ju Hyuk...
I will never break up with Mi Rae.
