(Episode 5)
That's why I'm here alone.
My dad can't even work.
We're losing so much money because he can't work.
I didn't know.
Now, you know. So you must take responsibility.
Take responsibility, how?
Compensate us for the damage you caused.
Exactly 10,000 dollars. What do you say?
What? Ten thousand dollars?
Well, then...
Then how about 1,000 dollars?
Oh, 1,000 dollars?
Wait here.
I need to use the restroom.
She said she was going to the restroom. What's taking her so long?
Gosh, I'm so annoyed.
Sorry I kept you waiting.
You have 1,000 dollars, right?
Can you give it to me now?
I'm sorry.
I can't give you the money.
What? Why not?
You're an adult. How could you not even have 1,000 dollars?
You little trickster. How dare you try to trick me?
What are you doing?
Do you realize that this is considered fraud?
"Fraud?" What do you mean?
That accident gave me such a scare.
I nearly died that day.
Shouldn't you...
at least compensate me for the mental distress you caused?
Why do you need money?
Are you in trouble?
Or are you planning to get yourself in trouble?
If you don't want to compensate me, just forget it.
I'm so angry right now.
You're really annoying.
Hey, watch where you're going!
Dad.
Jan Di, you...
What are you doing here?
You're here, Mr. Geum.
My gosh.
Lady. You ratted me out?
She ratted you out?
Watch what you say.
Do you realize what you were trying to do to her?
Mr. Geum, please don't yell at her.
I'm really sorry.
Apologize to her at once.
Now!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
The day we almost got into an accident,
I was so flustered that I couldn't even apologize to you properly.
You must've been really scared. I'm sorry, Jan Di.
You're saying sorry after stabbing me in the back like this?
Geum Jan Di!
Are you going to keep this up?
I totally understand why you're mad at me now.
But you see, I teach children too.
So I couldn't turn a blind eye to this.
You're not my teacher.
That brat...
I apologize again for what happened today.
I'm fine. You should go talk to Jan Di.
Okay, thank you.
Jan Di.
Geum Jan Di!
You really won't tell me?
Come here. Let's talk first.
Why?
Why did you ask her for money? What do you need money for?
The thing is...
If I tell him I need money to pay the agency,
he won't even let me train to join a girl group.
I'm not going to scold you.
I'm just worried. That's all, so tell me what's going on.
What is it? Did something bad happen?
The thing is...
Yes, go on. What happened?
It's for my DES.
"DES?"
You mean, double eyelid surgery?
Yes, everyone gets it done these days.
Dad, look. If I change my eye shape just a little,
I can look like a celebrity.
So you tried to con her to get plastic surgery?
- What's with you, Jan Di? - Kang San.
What are you two doing here?
- Grandma. - Yes.
Dad keeps yelling at me when he said he wouldn't scold me.
Mother, this brat...
Gosh, that's enough.
She studied hard all day at school. Don't bother her.
- Come on. Let's go inside. - Okay.
- But... - Go on in.
That brat...
My, this one will be very sweet. Here.
- Isn't it good? - Yes, it's so good.
So?
You did that because you really want to join a girl group?
Yes, Grandma. I really want to do it, but Dad won't let me.
Goodness. Even so, it's not okay to lie.
Right, I realize I shouldn't have lied.
But the thing is,
I get that you passed the audition. But why does the agency want money?
For the training program.
Train... What?
- In other words, - Yes.
I have to pay to learn how to sing and dance.
- Right. - Yes.
Whatever you do, you need to learn to be good at it.
So how much is it?
It's 10,000 dollars.
What?
Did you say 10,000 dollars?
- Grandma. - Yes.
You know what a K-pop star is, right?
If I pay 10,000 dollars,
they'll turn me into a world-famous superstar!
Okay, but that can't be easy.
No, the manager at the agency said I had the talent.
He said I'd shine like a diamond with proper training.
Really? They think you're that talented?
Yes, Grandma!
Please help me, Grandma.
Once I become successful,
you can tag along whenever I have a world tour.
- You can travel the world. - Oh, my.
Travel the world? My gosh.
Listen, Geum Jan Di.
Don't think I'll let you off if you whine to your grandma.
- You tried to con her. - My goodness.
What are you talking about? She's still a kid.
Okay, fine. I know what I did was wrong.
I won't do it again.
Promise?
Yes, I promise.
- Dad, the girl group training... - You're at it again?
How many times have I told you that I won't allow it?
Compensate us for the damage you caused.
Exactly 10,000 dollars. What do you say?
Why does she need so much money?
Would Jan Di's father know?
Mi Rae.
Have you tried calling Ju Hyuk?
Oh, right.
Hi, Ju Hyuk. It's me, Mi Rae.
- Hey, guys. How are you doing? - How are you doing?
I'm not at work yet, so I can talk for a bit.
Oh, right. How is Chairman Hwang?
The word has traveled to the US branch already?
Grandpa is a very strong person,
which makes it even more shocking.
He must be grumpier these days.
It must be stressful for you.
Hey, Ju Hyuk.
Call Auntie Kyu Sun.
She's worried about you because she can't reach you.
Did you call me because my aunt asked you to?
No. She did ask me, but that's not why I called.
Okay, then did you have something to say to me?
Well, the thing is...
Ju Hyuk, make sure you call me when you're back in Korea.
Just hearing his voice makes my heart flutter.
You know, Chan Ran brought Mi Rae along.
She's incredibly polite and easygoing.
It's not easy to raise someone else's kid. I guess she raised her well.
Yes, exactly.
Chan Ran is a wonderful person, you know.
She'd make the best mother-in-law, don't you think?
What do you mean?
What do you think of Mi Rae as Ju Hyuk's future wife?
If Chan Ran is his mother-in-law...
My gosh, it'd be so great!
That's enough.
Gosh, that startled me.
Why are you suddenly so angry?
Because you keep talking nonsense.
Kyu Chul, must you be so mean to your one and only sister?
You yell at me whenever I say anything.
You didn't even bother sending flowers to my grand opening.
If you send flowers with a sign saying "From President of Hwang Dong Food,"
it will look so cool. People will be impressed!
Listen. Do not name-drop Hwang Dong Food.
It'll ruin Chairman Hwang's reputation as well as mine. You got that?
Why would I ruin Hwang Dong Food's reputation?
You talk too much for your own good, so I'm telling you to be careful.
Okay, fine. I will be careful.
Father.
Do you not like any of the caregivers we've hired?
If you can tell me exactly what you don't like about them, I will...
I told you I didn't need a caregiver.
I can do everything on my own.
No, Father.
You got hurt the last time you tried to do things on your own.
What about you?
Will you stay single forever?
Do you think you'll never grow old or get sick?
I never said that.
If you know that,
hurry up and find yourself someone nice.
Why do you keep pushing Mr. Dong away? You won't even dine out with him.
That's because you're not well at the moment...
Don't use me as an excuse.
Being too difficult at your age won't make you charming.
Father, please.
Get some sleep.
(Balance 10,534 Dollars)
What's my balance?
Before Sun Ju left,
she was so disheartened that she couldn't do...
what she wanted to do.
I cannot let Jan Di go through the same thing.
That's right.
Oh! Grandma. What are you doing here?
Sweetie pie. I'll help you...
do the thing you want to do.
- Really? - Yes.
So I can join the agency?
Your dad will be upset if he finds out,
so let's keep it to ourselves for now. Okay?
Okay!
Grandma, you're the best!
Gosh, my sweetie pie.
Yes. When your dad sees how talented you are,
he won't be able to say anything.
Grandma, I love you so much.
- I love you too. - You're the best.
- All right. - My gosh!
- Are you that excited? - Yes!
Then come to the school, and call me right away.
Okay, I will.
You can't find the agency on your own,
so we'll go together.
Yes, we'll go together.
- I'll see you later. - What? Where are you going together?
- What? - What? You scared me.
- My gosh. - It's nothing.
I'll be late for school.
- See you later. - Bye.
My teenage daughter who has many secrets.
Watch out for cars,
always listen to your teachers, and never leave food on your plate.
And never try to con anyone again.
All right, then. 1, 2, 3...
Let's have an exciting, fun day. We can do it!
I love you, Dad!
Love you!
My sweetie pie, have a good day!
- You too! - I love you!
- Love you too! - All right.
- Mother. - Yes?
Why is Jan Di so excited today?
No idea. Is she in a good mood for some reason?
Oh, maybe it's because of the beautiful weather.
I wonder why.
We'll make watercolor paintings tomorrow, so bring your paint.
- Okay! - Okay!
Let's go.
Watch out for cars.
- Okay! - Okay!
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Bye, girls.
- Take care. - Bye.
Is the class with the elementary school kids over?
Yes.
Then how about a cup of tea?
You see, I feel so bad for you.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Your wife's family, this store, and Jan Di.
Other than those things, what do you even have?
What more do I need?
I just want Jan Di to stay healthy and grow up well.
Goodness. She's such a troublemaker. Why do you adore her so much?
She can be very sweet.
Ho Sik. This morning, Jan Di made a heart with her hands like this...
and said, "I love you, Dad."
It totally made my heart melt.
Hold on.
Thank you for calling Hong Do's Side Dishes.
Yes, sir.
Sorry? Really?
Then I'll stop by this afternoon with some samples.
Yes, thank you!
Nice!
What was that about?
Thanks to Jan Di's hand hearts,
my day is off to a great start.
I see. That's why you asked me for Jan Di's dad's number.
I figured I should tell her father first.
Yes, you did the right thing.
You were kind enough to let her off the hook.
If it was anyone else, she'd be at the police station now.
You see, Jan Di used to be...
such a good girl. She never caused trouble when she was little.
She keeps getting rebellious.
She'll be all right once she gets through her teenage years.
I really hope so, but...
Could it be because she doesn't have a mother?
She doesn't have a mother?
Oh. Gosh, I'm not sure if I should be telling you this,
but her mother went missing ten years ago.
Oh, I see.
I had no idea.
Yes.
But her father won't even look at another woman.
He only thinks about his daughter.
I'm just an outsider, but I feel so bad for him.
Hong Do's Side Dishes
Hong Do's Side Dishes, yes
Yes, Hong Do's Side Dishes
Kang San, why are you so excited today?
What's with all these containers?
I'm meeting the owner of the restaurant by the intersection.
If I manage to seal this deal,
I can make sure you won't have to lift a finger from now on.
Goodness. You've been saying that for the past ten years.
Gosh, this is too bland. Put in more soy sauce.
- He told me to make them bland. - What?
Don't touch these, Mother.
I'll go get changed. All right?
Okay.
I won't touch them. Go get changed.
Okay.
Go get changed.
All right.
Listen.
Salt makes food...
taste better.
It has to be a little sweet and salty.
My goodness.
Yes, that's much better. This is it!
Oh, right.
I should head out to go to the bank.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Because of the chairman's illness,
the product development for instant porridge has been put on hold.
We already had the demo event. What should we do?
As for the instant porridge, President Dong will lead the project.
And we'll join the project later on.
Then why don't we focus on the export of instant soup products?
Let's do that. Let's contact the companies in the Middle East first.
All right. That's it for the meeting.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Good work, everyone.
Oh, Mr. Eun.
Have you managed to find another caregiver?
Oh, that...
They said they had no one else available. What should we do?
Gosh. My grandfather needs a bath today. This is not good.
- Hey. - Oh, hello.
You still haven't found a caregiver for Chairman Hwang?
Hello, Mr. Choi.
Not yet, unfortunately.
Do you need my help?
I worked as his driver for many years, you know.
It'd be nice to chat with him about the good old days...
while giving him a back scrub.
That way, I can win some points with him too.
- You know? - Yes, good idea.
Oh, Mr. Choi. You must be very busy, so don't worry.
I'll go.
What? But...
Thank you very much for your call, sir.
That day, I really appreciated you helping out at the restaurant,
so I wanted to give you a chance.
I could tell that you were very passionate...
and serious about food.
You made the right decision, sir.
I brought some samples for you to try. I made them with all my heart.
Try them.
Grandma!
Oh! Jan Di, my sweetie pie.
You're here, Grandma.
My gosh, yes. You're so adorable.
Let's go.
My gosh, Ms. Ma!
What brings you here?
Did Jan Di cause trouble again?
Goodness. Look who's talking.
Did the teachers ask you to come in...
because your son bullied his friends again?
My goodness.
What do you take my son for?
My son, Jun Pyo, has the highest GPA in the entire school.
He's a model student.
How well did you do on your exam?
It's my privacy.
What's with that childish ribbon on your head?
You never pass a single audition. Do you have another audition?
What do you even know? There's an agency that wants to sign me.
For real?
Yes, for real.
Which agency?
A very famous one.
The CEO must be waiting.
We should hurry, Grandma.
Let's go.
What's wrong?
Did you use the traditional soy sauce?
No, that can't be.
I guess Mother put it in.
I'm sorry. I think my mother-in-law put it in.
That was the secret.
The flavors have depth. And it's seasoned perfectly.
You said your store had 30 years of history. It sure tastes different!
Try this one too.
This braised burdock is our signature side dish.
It's sweet...
and delicious.
I followed my mother-in-law's recipe.
Hold on.
What is this long, white thing?
A hair, I think.
(New Girl Group Open Audition)
You made the right choice.
You have the payment for the training program, right?
Oh, yes.
Great, thank you.
But the thing is...
You can really help my granddaughter become a singer, right?
Yes, sure thing. I explained everything earlier.
You see,
I don't know the songs that are popular these days,
so I couldn't really understand.
- Grandma. - Yes?
I understood everything. Here...
Hold on, Jan Di.
You see, 10,000 dollars isn't a small amount of money.
We need to make sure.
Jan Di beat 800 kids...
and passed the audition.
It's truly impressive.
I heard the total number of participants was 800.
Am I the only one who passed the audition?
That's odd because my friend passed the audition too.
Oh, that's right. There was one more kid.
Two out of 800 participants.
I see.
Anyway, we did our best to select the most talented applicants.
So of course, we'll do whatever it takes to make sure she can become a singer.
Right, ma'am?
Yes, of course.
I guess you truly think that my granddaughter is amazingly talented.
Yes, indeed.
- Sir, please. Hear me out! - No.
Sir, please give me just one more chance.
I'll go back and make them properly again. Please?
If I serve such unhygienic food at my restaurant,
my business will go under. Get out at once.
Get out. Leave!
Wait, sir!
Gosh...
Mother is the bane of my existence.
Darn it.
(Spicy Beef Soup)
Please take good care...
of my granddaughter.
Yes, sure thing.
Jan Di is my agency's next star. She truly is a hidden gem.
Grandma!
Thanks, Grandma!
I love you so much, Grandma.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Ye Ju.
- Ye Ju! - Yes.
Where is Mother?
She and Jan Di went somewhere earlier. I'm not sure if they're back yet.
Hey, what's wrong? Did something happen?
Gosh.
You, stop making me anxious
This feeling I've never felt before, oh this feeling
My gosh, I can't pull myself together
My heart is fluttering
- You're so good! - Grandma.
Grandma, thank you for your support.
I love you so much, Grandma.
All right.
Oh, boy. They say you can't hide it when it runs in your blood.
Just like you, your mom was a good dancer too.
Oh, right. You said Mom did ballet.
That's right. I couldn't really support her financially,
but she got into the dance department on a full scholarship.
She looked like a beautiful butterfly when she was dancing.
I must take after Mom.
I'll do my best too, just like Mom did.
- All right, my sweetie pie. Work hard. - I will!
Mother.
Yes?
What's the matter, Kang San?
Mother, how could you do this?
What?
Grandma, Dad must've found out everything.
