(Episode 48)
Ho Rang.
Hey, you're here.
Hi. Why did you want to meet here?
That dress...
Are you all right?
Why? Do I look weird?
No, it's pretty. You look pretty,
but I'm not used to seeing you like this.
Oh, Kang San.
Here.
What is this?
Try it on.
What is this?
Hey, why did you buy this?
Ho Rang, I don't need this.
Give this to Ho Sik.
Why should I give this to Ho Sik?
It's yours.
Thanks for thinking of me, but I can't accept this.
You always help me out so much.
Besides, I'm most comfortable in my clothes.
You always wear the same thing.
You should wear new clothes...
and meet someone new.
It's okay.
It's not okay with me.
Why is it not okay with you?
I have to talk to you about something today.
You need to talk to me?
The thing is, Kang San...
I think I...
Kang San, you're... I mean...
Well...
I mean, I...
I... What I want to say is...
Ho Rang, what is it? Cut to the chase, will you?
Kang San.
I called you here today because...
To tell you the truth,
for a very long time,
I've had...
a huge...
- crush on... - Wait, Ho Rang.
Hold on.
- It's Ho Sik. - What?
- Ho Sik? - Yes.
Hey, Ho Sik.
Yes.
What? Jan Di?
Mother.
What did President Dong and Grandfather talk about?
Why do you ask?
Well, I was just curious.
I bet President Dong...
was here to make sure Mi Rae and Ju Hyuk could get married.
He stopped by to say hello to your grandfather and stuff.
What did Grandfather say?
Did he say Mi Rae and Ju Hyuk could get married?
He said he wanted to wait a little before he made his decision.
How wise. Just like how the eldest member of the family should be.
Marriage is one of the most important events in your life.
You must decide very carefully.
Both you and Mi Rae are totally smitten with Ju Hyuk.
Whenever you see Ju Hyuk,
your eyes literally turn to hearts.
Me? When?
Come on. I've seen you do that.
You see,
Mi Rae is crazy about Ju Hyuk, and it really worries me.
They say...
it's important for women...
to date around when they're young...
so they can learn to spot bad guys.
Don't you agree, Mother?
Are you saying you dated around a lot before you married Jae Hyun?
Mother.
Jae Hyun is...
my first love.
Hey, you're three years older than him.
Forget it.
Mother.
It's true. Please believe me.
Gosh, it went down the wrong pipe.
What should we do?
The stain won't come out. We should get this dry-cleaned.
It looks like it's from a designer brand. What should we do?
Jan Di, you should've been careful.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay. It wasn't intentional.
The floor was so slippery.
It's all because Uncle Ho Sik wiped it too hard.
Hey, what's your point? Are you saying it's my fault?
Well, I'm just saying.
Jan Di.
- Dad. - Jan Di.
I apologize.
My daughter made a big mistake.
Don't worry about it.
Kids make mistakes.
My goodness. It looks like you spilled a lot of water.
What happened?
She slipped and fell while carrying a water bucket.
Really? Let me see.
Well, the floor isn't too slippery.
No. It was really slippery earlier, Ms. Jang.
It's fine. Don't worry about getting this dry-cleaned.
You may leave with your daughter.
I can just throw this out and buy a new one.
Are you rich?
You must be loaded.
What?
You just said you'd throw it out.
My dad has never worn clothes like that.
Jan Di.
Will you take it if I don't throw it out?
What?
Or shall I give it to you after getting it dry-cleaned?
What? Why are you treating me like a beggar?
Ju Hyuk.
I was just kidding.
Let me apologize once again...
for what my daughter did.
I'm sorry.
It's fine. It's nothing.
No, I'm really sorry.
Gosh, this is so annoying.
- Dad, why do you keep apologizing? - Geum Jan Di.
I'm the one who dropped the water bucket. Why are you apologizing?
And you know what?
It was intentional. I bet you had no idea.
Jan Di, what do you mean?
Mister, you talked badly of my dad earlier.
You said my mom ran away because my dad was...
an incompetent loser.
You said she packed up and left because she had no hope.
Is this...
all true, Ms. Ok?
Well...
Mr. Geum, actually...
Why can't you say it?
You heard everything too, Ms. Ok.
Ju Hyuk.
Yes, it is true.
I did say that.
My gosh. How could you say such a thing?
Gosh. Ms. Ok's boyfriend, that is really mean.
That is way out of line.
Mr. Geum, we were talking about you because I was just curious.
I made such disrespectful remarks without even realizing it.
And my inconsiderate remarks hurt your daughter.
For that, I sincerely apologize.
Your name is Jan Di, right?
I'm sorry.
Now, you're apologizing? Forget it.
Well, all right.
This is Jan Di's fault,
so I'll compensate you for the shirt.
He can just get it dry-cleaned.
You don't need to buy him a new shirt.
Yes, don't worry about it.
Dad, don't worry about it.
No, Jan Di.
Then let me take care of the dry-cleaning fee.
Otherwise, I'll feel bad.
Dad, are you stupid?
Why would you take care of the dry-cleaning fee?
It was my daughter's fault. Of course, I should take care of it.
Dad, you're a wonderful person, but you're way too nice.
If anyone else speaks ill of you like that man did,
I'll get back at them again.
Hey, Geum Jan Di.
I must take revenge.
Dad, why do you always let everyone walk all over you?
Shouldn't you at least speak out when someone stomps all over you?
Well, I don't know.
You quietly put up with it even when someone stomps all over you.
That's why bad people keep trying to trample all over you.
Jan Di.
If everyone hurt others to get their revenge,
what would happen?
Hating and despising each other.
That's wrong, isn't it?
Gosh, this is so frustrating.
Why worry about others?
We should worry about ourselves first.
Whatever.
I really don't like how you're living your life, Dad.
Hey, Geum Jan Di.
Did you fight with Jan Di?
Doo Ho. Are you getting home just now?
Jan Di seems upset. Did something happen?
Perfect timing. Give it to Jan Di.
Gosh, you do this every single time. Thank you, Doo Ho.
It won't be enough to comfort Jan Di, though.
Anyway, you must've been upset too.
To tell you the truth,
I was a little offended, but it wasn't too upsetting.
What do you mean?
- Jan Di said... - Yes.
if anyone else spoke ill of me, she'd teach them a lesson.
She totally took my side.
When I heard that, I got a little choked up.
I felt so grateful.
I see.
You know, Doo Ho...
I really want to raise Jan Di well,
but I'm faced with a whole new set of challenges every day.
I suppose it's because I still have a lot to learn.
It can't be easy to raise your daughter all by yourself as a single father.
Even tying your little girl's hair...
is a challenge.
Totally.
I really struggled because I couldn't figure out how to tie Jan Di's hair.
I chased her classmates' mothers to learn it from them.
You did that too?
Yes.
Hold on. How do you know it's difficult to tie little girls' hair?
Did you have a daughter?
Well, yes. I did have a daughter.
All right, Jun Pyo. You want to read the newspaper to me?
Yes. You have blurry vision,
so I figured you probably couldn't see well.
Oh, my.
Your studies must keep you busy.
You're so thoughtful, Jun Pyo.
Then I'll read it out to you.
All right.
There's a news article about Hwang Dong Food, Great-grandpa.
Oh, really? Then why don't you start with that?
"An increasing number of consumers are purchasing convenience food."
"The continually rising food prices..."
"and lifestyle changes are said to be the main reasons."
"Despite the rise of convenience food and its popularity,"
"the sales of Hwang Dong Food, the company known for its instant soup products,"
"have been at a standstill..."
"and..."
(Dongshin Times)
Hey, you're back.
My gosh, Ju Hyuk. What happened to your shirt?
I had a little mishap, Auntie Kyu Sun.
Did you get into a fight or something?
Father, do I look like I fought with someone?
Kyu Chul, please.
Ju Hyuk would never fight with anyone.
Ju Hyuk, what happened?
I went to the art academy to see Mi Rae.
The daughter of Chairman Hwang's caregiver...
spilled watercolor paint on me.
My gosh. You mean, Jan Di?
Do you know her too?
Yes. Her family's side dish store is across the street from the bakery.
I guess Mi Rae teaches her at the academy.
Yes, I guess so. Let me get changed first.
Okay. Oh, did you have dinner?
I just had a quick bite.
Then let me fix you some dinner. Hurry and get changed.
- Thanks, Auntie Kyu Sun. - No problem.
Kyu Chul, you're really something.
Must you provoke Ju Hyuk whenever you see him?
Kyu Sun, do you frequent that side dish store?
We're neighbors, so I say hello to them.
Keep your distance. Being close to them will only result in gossip.
Yes, I know. Look at you nagging me again.
Ye Ju.
How was your first day?
Kang San.
This intern here broke two plates today.
Mom, it was my first day.
- Mistakes are allowed. - My goodness.
Yes, I made so many mistakes at the beginning too.
Anyway, I didn't know when I was just watching the store.
But now that it's my job, there's so much to do.
Doing inventory checks, ordering ingredients,
updating the sales and expenses report,
prepping the ingredients and cooking them...
Gosh, I was so frazzled all day.
You made the right decision, Ye Ju.
It's way better than studying books all the time.
Acquiring first-hand experience like this will help you once you get an office job,
especially if it's a company in the food industry.
You'd better be prepared to work hard. I won't go easy on you.
Sure thing, boss. Train me as hard as you want.
That way, it'd be recognized as a proper internship experience.
You sound like you're ready to work hard,
so I should give you a little reward.
He pulled out his wallet.
- Here, take this. - Gosh, this is...
- Nice, 50 dollars! - Oh, my.
- What? - I took out the wrong one.
My goodness. Why did this come out?
That scared me.
Here, spend this until you get your first paycheck.
What? Are you kidding me?
I was confused because the colors were similar.
If you don't want it, forget it.
You said you'd only join a big company, so you only care about big bills?
Every penny counts. So?
Do you want this or not?
Okay, I want it.
- Give me that. - My goodness.
Kang San.
What's Jan Di doing in her room? Why won't she come out?
Mr. Kim brought the bread for her.
She should join us.
- I know. - I'm sure she's studying.
- Is she? - Sang Soo, you still don't know her well.
This bread is very good.
Jan Di.
Your dad has always been foolish like that.
Even back in school, he gave his shoes to someone...
and walked home barefoot.
You said you two didn't live together. How do you know that, Grandpa?
Well, I heard about it.
Anyway, don't be upset.
Be strong, okay?
If someone hits you, hit them back...
and make them pay for it. Okay?
All right, bye.
Who was that?
My granddaughter. My adorable granddaughter.
Kyung Ja!
I can't believe the meat is all gone.
It was cooked,
so I ate it before it burned.
Hey, that's not true.
Before it was even cooked, you ate it all.
I saw it with my own eyes.
Geum Sun Dal, you clearly don't know how to enjoy meat to the fullest.
Meat tastes the best when the meat juice is still dripping.
Kyung Ja, that's called blood, not "meat juice."
Also, I like my meat well done, okay?
You've been acting weird.
You keep provoking me and picking on me.
Who picked on you?
When?
You were even talking in your sleep.
What? You said something about a bob haircut and a bakery.
Is it a woman with a bob haircut at some bakery this time?
You're falsely accusing me again.
I'm planning...
to open a bakery with you. That's why I said that.
I guess I said it in my dream.
Are you sure?
Yes, of course.
Kyung Ja. Here, this is very good for you.
Have this mushroom.
My, I'll give you this juicy one. Here, open wide.
Open wide.
It's hot.
My daughter.
What are you doing? Don't you want some bread?
I'm just doing some thinking. I talked to Grandpa on the phone too.
Custard buns, your favorite.
Mr. Kim said to give you these.
Nice, thanks.
Oh, Dad.
Did you give your shoes to someone and walk home barefoot...
when you were a schoolboy?
What?
That's what Grandpa said.
Oh, that.
It was years ago.
So you actually did that?
Yes.
Well, I was around your age.
I believe it was winter.
On my way home from school,
I saw a boy who was much younger than me.
His shoes were worn out, and he was shaking in the cold.
He was begging passersby for money.
So I offered to switch shoes.
And? You walked home barefoot?
Well, not totally barefoot.
I wore the shoes he was wearing.
What? They must've been too small for you.
That's right.
When I got home, your grandma gave me an earful.
You deserved it.
And I really don't understand you, Dad.
Well, you don't need to understand me right away.
When you grow up, you'll totally understand me...
and gradually become like me.
I don't want to become like you in that sense.
But you're my daughter.
Still, I don't like it.
If I don't have shoes,
I'll take someone else's shoes.
Come on. I know you're just acting tough.
You'd never actually do such a thing, right?
In any case, I won't forgive anyone who messes with my dad.
I'll teach them a serious lesson.
Dad.
I'll protect you.
Honey, do you not have a plan?
What? A plan for what?
Well, President Dong is...
openly supporting Mi Rae and Ju Hyuk's plan to get married.
Knowing what's going on, you're not even thinking...
or trying to come up with a plan?
Ju Hyuk got down on his knees and finally managed to persuade Grandpa.
Can't you just root for him?
"Root for him?" What on earth are you talking about?
If we aren't careful, he might take over the company instead of you.
So stop saying such nonsense.
I, Choi Soo Ji, cannot let them get married.
I'm totally against it.
What are you saying?
Mi Rae should just marry an average guy...
from an average family.
That would be best for her.
She should not marry Ju Hyuk and shake up the management.
That is up to Mi Rae to decide, honey.
Forget it. Just remember this.
Hwang Dong Food's only heir...
is you, Ok Jae Hyun. No one else, okay?
After that, you'll pass the company down to our dear son, Ok Jun Pyo.
Remember that.
Ju Hyuk would never covet my position.
He always helps me. He'd never do such a thing.
Gosh. In historical movies, people who say stuff like this...
always get stabbed in the back or are beheaded.
Stop being so complacent. Get it together, Ok Jae Hyun!
Soo Ji, I'm running late.
Mr. Heir here should go to work. Bye.
You little...
Mr. Heir is so dumb.
Oh, dear.
- Kang San! - Hey.
I'm here.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
What brings you here so early?
I came to buy some bread and saw you.
My gosh. Isn't your caregiver job stressful enough?
You help out every morning like this? How do you do it?
I want to help out as much as I can to make it easier for my mother-in-law.
By the way, didn't you say you had to talk to me about something?
What?
Our conversation was interrupted because of Jan Di.
What is it? Is it something important?
Oh, that's...
I think I've fallen for someone.
I think about him as soon as I wake up in the morning.
Whenever I see something delicious, I want to share it with him.
And when I see him wearing his old clothes,
my heart aches for him.
My gosh, Ho Rang.
Congratulations, for real.
Who is this man that stole your heart?
He must be someone amazing. Right?
Kang San, the thing is...
That person is...
none other than...
- Gosh, seriously! - My gosh. What was that sound?
Ye Ju must've broken something again.
- Hey. - Okay, that's enough.
How many plates did you break so far?
After deducting what you owe us for the plates that you broke,
your paycheck would be zero.
What? Mom.
For any mistakes that take place during working hours,
the employer should take care of the expenses. Not your employees.
- Goodness. - Ho Rang, you're here.
What? Yes, hi.
Hello, Ms. Ma.
Hi. Are you here to pick up side dishes?
No, I'm not.
I'm here to see Kang San.
Hey, I made it very clear to you the last time.
All the neighbors are watching.
Keep your distance from my son-in-law. Okay?
I hate it when people gossip...
about my son-in-law.
Mother.
Ms. Ma, must you be so mean?
Kang San and I...
We've known each other for so long.
We've been friends...
since way before he became your son-in-law.
"We?" My goodness.
No matter how close you think you two are, you're still a stranger,
whereas we're a family.
You guys are his in-laws, not his immediate family.
You're so proud that he's your family.
Ho Rang.
Watch your conduct. Don't hit on my son-in-law, okay?
What? Ms. Ma!
What? Am I wrong?
- Gosh, why are you being like this? - You know I'm right.
Mother, please. Calm down, Ho Rang.
Ho Rang, one of the guys who studied with me...
is a seventh-grade civil servant but is divorced.
What do you say? Shall I set you up with him?
Forget it. You can date him.
I'm leaving, Ms. Ma.
- Bye, Kang San! - Gosh, that little...
- Mother, please. - Goodness.
I offered to set her up with a nice guy. What's her problem?
Ye Ju, there's someone she likes.
What? Ho Rang likes someone?
Maybe it's you.
What? You mean, Kang San?
What? That's nonsense.
It's not true, Mother.
You know that Ho Rang and I are like siblings.
Gosh, I should head out to go to Chairman Hwang's house.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Oh, hello.
Where is Mr. Ok? Why are you here alone?
He went for lunch with Mr. Dong and the ladies.
Oh, did he?
I bet you didn't go with them because you were afraid...
you'd have to pick up the bill.
What are you talking about?
I'm Mr. Generous of Hwang Dong Food.
When I spend money, I'm very generous.
Come on. It's not like I don't know you.
Mr. Eun, have you decided on whom you'll side with?
Come on.
Don't you know you could lose everything if you choose the wrong side?
Chairman Hwang would never pass the company down...
to his grandson-in-law when he has his own grandson, Mr. Ok.
Don't you agree?
Right, especially because she's not his real granddaughter.
Exactly. In my opinion...
Oh, you're here.
Yes. Hi, Mr. Ok.
- What were you whispering about? - Hello.
- Oh, nothing. - You're back already?
We ate quickly.
My gosh.
With the two rising stars, Mr. Ok and Mr. Dong,
Hwang Dong Food has a bright future ahead.
The instant porridge products will do very well.
We'll soar high.
The company has nothing to worry about for the next 100 years.
Gosh, Mr. Choi. I'm flattered.
Come on, Mr. Choi. Just 100 years?
It'll be the 1st Korean company to thrive for 1,000 years.
If Mr. Ok Jae Hyun and Mr. Dong Ju Hyuk...
join forces and guide us,
Hwang Dong Food will thrive for tens of thousands of years...
No, it'll thrive forever!
How do you feel, Mr. Ok?
Doesn't just hearing it make your heart flutter?
What? Well, I guess.
Let's go, Hwang Dong Food! Let's thrive for 1,000 years!
You two, what are you waiting for?
Let's go, Hwang Dong Food! Let's thrive for 1,000 years!
My goodness.
You guys are worse than me.
Get ready.
From left to right.
- Let's go! - Hwang Dong!
Grandfather. You won't let Mi Rae marry Ju Hyuk, right?
I'll check thoroughly and find out if Ju Hyuk has any flaws.
Geum Jan Di, let's go for pizza.
- Have you lost your mind? - Why? What do you feel like eating, then?
Are you here to buy side dishes?
I need to talk to you.
- What? - Gosh.
How could you say such a thing?
- Look. - Yes, look.
What did you say?
