A gigolo?
Geum Kang San. Is it true that your father is a gigolo?
The truth is...
I'm asking you if it's true!
You can't answer my question, so it must be true.
You said he was just wandering from place to place. Goodness.
Well, there's more.
A little while ago, Mr. Geum's father...
acted like I hurt him to extort money from me.
I pushed him gently like this,
but he put on a total act and rolled on the floor like this.
Then he extorted 300 dollars from me.
And Mr. Geum's mother-in-law...
grabbed me by the hair and shook me like this.
Also, his in-laws...
lashed out at Mi Rae for no reason. Right, Mi Rae?
My goodness.
Everyone in your family is a real piece of work.
I'm really sorry, sir.
But Grandfather,
The incident I had with them wasn't as serious as Soo Ji described it to be.
So what? It wasn't a big deal, so we should just let it slide?
If the Hwang Dong Food family...
gets roped into such an unsavory incident,
and if people gossip about it,
what will happen to the company's public image?
Father.
I'm sorry, Grandfather.
This is why...
I told you to watch your conduct at all times.
It wasn't Mi Rae's fault, Father.
Was this ruckus really necessary first thing in the morning?
It's not too late yet, Grandfather.
Why don't we just fire Mr. Geum?
Wouldn't that be a solution to this problem?
Father!
Mr. Geum, are you all right?
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Geum.
Yes, Ms. Ok.
About Jan Di's grandfather.
I didn't mean to tell my family.
I feel like I put you in a pickle.
I'm really sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Yesterday too.
Because of my family,
you were scolded by Mr. Chairman when you did nothing wrong.
I should apologize to you.
It's okay.
(Horang Art Academy)
You heard about it too, right?
Mr. Geum is staying with Kang San and his in-laws.
He was already having a hard time, living with his in-laws.
My poor Kang San.
Now, he really has to walk on eggshells around Auntie Hong Do and Sang Soo.
Hello.
Hello, Ms. Ok. Good morning.
Ms. Ok, thank you very much.
Pardon? For what?
Kang San's father.
I heard you caught him yesterday.
No, I did not.
That is not what happened.
In any case, Kang San's father was hiding at our house.
He was using my room.
Thanks to you, I got my room back...
and found peace of mind again.
So Jan Di's grandfather was staying with you this whole time?
Yes, that's right.
Then why didn't you tell Mr. Geum?
Why are you curious about that?
Don't tell me...
you're going to call Kang San right away and tell him...
that I had been letting his father...
hide at my place.
No.
It's just that I saw how worried he was about his father.
Ms. Ok.
Are you interested in Kang San?
Pardon me?
Is that why you're trying to hit on him...
when you have a boyfriend?
Ms. Jang.
Ho Rang, you're out of line.
Ms. Ok would never do such a thing.
I mean, think about it.
She has a boyfriend who is handsome, cool, and successful.
Why does she keep getting involved in Kang San's business?
Don't get the wrong idea.
I know about Jan Di's mother,
so I'm trying to be attentive to her. That's all.
Yes. That's why Ms. Ok did that.
Okay, fine.
There was...
a reason why we couldn't tell him.
Just know that.
Okay.
I must say, Ms. Ok likes to stick her nose into everyone's business.
She's too nosy for her own good, isn't she?
I'm nosy?
Hey, you didn't have to say that. You're putting her on the spot.
I'm right though.
Because of her,
Father, who was so comfortable at our place,
got dragged to Kang San's in-laws' house.
Now, he has to walk on eggshells around them.
Ho Rang. Stop talking nonsense, will you?
My goodness.
Why are you dancing all by yourself in broad daylight?
I get boils on my feet if I don't dance even just for one day.
At least once a day,
I must move every joint in my body like this.
Anyway, what's up? Shouldn't you be at the store?
I thought you'd be hungry by now,
so I came to fix you some lunch.
I'll eat later. Ms. Ma, how about a dance?
It's not exciting to dance alone.
Gosh, how absurd. Why would I dance with my son-in-law's father?
No, I don't want to do it.
My goodness.
Since we're in-laws, we can be cool about it.
What's so absurd about holding hands just once...
- Here. - Gosh, what are you doing?
- Come on. - My goodness. Mr. Geum!
Mr. Geum. Gosh, why are you being like this?
Mr. Geum, I feel dizzy!
Stop it, will you?
- Gosh, I feel dizzy. - Come on. It's fine.
- Keep going. Spin around. - Mr. Geum!
- Spin. - Mr. Geum! My goodness.
- Gosh! - Oh, no.
- Goodness. - My butt.
Gosh.
Woman, you're so stiff and strong!
This is why you've been single for decades...
and why no one would come anywhere near you.
Goodness. All you do is philander around.
That's not something to brag about either.
Come on.
I'm Mr. Popular,
whereas you're someone all men and women want to avoid.
If you want to become popular like me,
you'd have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.
My goodness.
There's nothing wrong with me!
I'm at a loss for words.
Come inside in ten minutes. I'll go in first and fix you some lunch.
Gosh, I'm so dizzy.
- Oh, boy. - Goodness, that temper of hers.
Gosh.
I miss staying at Ho Rang's place.
She didn't even let me lift a finger.
"Father." She called me so sweetly...
and took such good care of me.
Anyway, how does Kang San...
put up with his overbearing mother-in-law?
He's incredibly patient.
Doing that every day won't help you in any way.
Are you desperately trying not to get fired?
Yes.
I am desperately trying not to get fired.
I must keep this job no matter what...
to support my family.
I feel bad for you.
Your family keeps bogging you down.
Why do you care about them so much?
Your mother-in-law is so overbearing, and your father is such a troublemaker.
And your daughter has the lowest GPA in the entire school.
Not a single day goes by without trouble for you.
It must be very stressful for you, Mr. Geum.
You're right.
My mother-in-law can be overbearing, and my father is still immature.
It's true that my daughter, Jan Di, gets bad grades...
and often causes trouble.
Oh, so you admit everything?
Yes. However,
it's not like you should only care about your family when things are good.
Even when you're sad, upset, or angry,
you and your family should embrace each other.
Well, that is nice to hear.
I thought I was watching a public service ad for a moment.
Anyway, then go ahead and live like that for the rest of your life.
President Dong is working hard to fill in,
but from new product development to everything else,
things are not as good as they used to be...
because you're not there to oversee everything, sir.
Anyway, that's what I think, sir.
That's right.
I shouldn't sit idly by like this.
Gosh! No, sir!
Hey, what are you doing here? Get out.
If you do this, you could hurt yourself badly.
Move aside. Stop distracting me.
Hand over the knife.
I can't do that, sir. I cannot!
You punk. Hand it over.
No, sir.
I cannot hand this over even if it is for product development.
Goodness. How dare you meddle in my business like this?
Hand it over at once!
What is happening?
Gosh. What should we do, Mother?
Mr. Geum is threatening Grandfather!
Put down the knife at once!
No, sir. I cannot do that.
What should we do?
I suppose he lost it because of what I said earlier.
Mother, go persuade him.
He'll kill all of us at this rate!
Okay.
Mother. Should we call the police?
No, let's try to negotiate with him first.
Hold on, Mr. Geum.
We won't fire you. Please put the knife down.
Ma'am, not now. I cannot hand this over now.
Mr. Geum, are you doing this because you're upset about what we said earlier?
Please put down the knife first. Calm down.
I cannot put this down. Not now.
Mother, the situation isn't looking good.
Mother, I'll go ahead and call the police.
- Yes. We should, Soo Ji. - Okay.
Ms. Choi.
Why would you call the police?
You know why, you blackmailer!
"Blackmailer?" What do you mean?
Well...
Yes, you're threatening Grandfather...
with that knife!
- Ms. Choi! - My goodness.
Hold on, Soo Ji.
What do you mean?
Father, Mr. Geum was threatening you at knifepoint just now.
What did you say?
Well...
So you were being stubborn about it because you wanted...
to develop new products yourself?
Yes, that's right.
Why? I can't do that?
And you were just trying to stop Grandfather, Mr. Geum?
Yes.
Can we really believe you though?
I witnessed you swinging the knife at him.
Ms. Choi, when did I swing the knife at him?
If you weren't, then forget it.
Anyway, Father. You should not try to cook anything yourself.
The development for our porridge products is going so slow.
I'm really frustrated.
But what if you hurt yourself again?
I'll jump in and help.
My goodness.
You don't even know how to cut a radish.
Well, sir.
If it's okay with you,
I'd like to help.
I've been running a side dish store for years,
so I'm pretty good.
Mr. Geum.
So you weren't holding the knife to threaten him, right?
That's right. Of course, I wasn't.
Is it really okay to let you hold a knife again?
He's very good. Isn't he, Soo Ji?
Good knife skills aren't everything.
It has to taste good.
Don't worry.
Please excuse me for a moment.
Yes, Mr. Eun. Tell me what Mr. Dong has been up to.
Yes. He arrived at the office at 8:30 a.m.
Ten minutes later, he picked up his coffee...
and went to the R and D lab for the instant porridge products.
This is my guess,
but since the word got out about his plan to marry Mi Rae,
he's been focused on the development...
of the instant porridge products to solidify his position within the company.
Okay. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, report to me right away.
Yes, ma'am. Will do.
Gosh, you scared me.
Why are you so startled?
Well...
I thought you were at the lab, but you suddenly walked in.
What would you like to drink?
Nothing, I'm good.
Okay, then please excuse me.
Mr. Eun.
Yes. Did you want to talk to me about something?
Your fly is open.
Pardon me?
Thank you for the bow.
(Hwang Dong Food)
I'm at a loss for words.
What's with that random prank?
I hope he didn't eavesdrop on my phone conversation.
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
Mr. Dong Ju Hyuk is here, sir.
- Let him in. - Yes, sir.
You may come in.
Why did you ask for me?
I want to hear what's going on with our instant porridge products.
Do I really have to report everything to my father every single day?
If you can do it every hour, that's even better.
Why? Do you not trust me?
How much longer do you plan to work under Jae Hyun?
Now that you've joined the head office,
you need to do things that can make you stand out.
Who was the one that demoted me and made me work under Jae Hyun?
The situation has changed.
That's right. The situation has changed indeed.
I'm the one who has the upper hand now, not you.
What?
You'll hear some good news soon.
Although I'm certainly not doing these things to make you happy.
I made the porridge as per your instructions, sir.
I'm not sure how you'll like it.
It's soft and nice.
What do you think, Father?
What do you think, sir?
The rice is overcooked.
You should've turned off the heat sooner.
I'm sorry, sir.
And it's too bland.
Oh, you already started.
Yes. Join us and try some, Soo Ji.
You want me to taste it?
Please tell us what you think.
It's too bland.
Many patients eat this,
so I intentionally made it bland.
Our porridges...
target regular consumers.
Anyway, you've got good knife skills.
I could definitely use your help.
Just tell me what I can do. I'll be happy to help, sir.
Yes. I'm sorry for causing such a scene earlier, Mr. Geum.
Soo Ji made such a fuss about it...
that I got the wrong idea.
My goodness. Are you using me as an excuse again, Mother?
Earlier, you got all scared and said he was trying to threaten us.
It's okay.
Looking back, I understand why you got the wrong idea.
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
What? "Uncomfortable?"
I make you uncomfortable?
So you're saying my confession made you uncomfortable?
- Hello. - Hello.
By the way, where is Ms. Dong? Did she step out?
She's not here yet.
Gosh, I had a few moments to spare,
so I came to chat with Ms. Dong to get to know her better.
I'm disappointed that she's not here.
I see.
I must say, without anyone to chat you up...
and ask you questions to give you a warm welcome,
the bakery feels empty. Don't you think so?
Yes, that's it.
My dear Jan Di, you're so good.
You followed my instructions to a tee and did a great job.
I think it's just all right.
No, it's very good.
Jan Di, would you be interested in participating...
in an art competition organized by a university?
You're good enough...
to represent the academy in the competition.
Well, that's...
I'll think about it.
Ho Rang, you're teaching Jan Di today?
I picked up some sandwiches...
for Ms. Ok and Jan Di.
Hand it over.
Jan Di, eat this.
Oh, thank you.
Hey, you're not going to eat it here?
I have to go meet Hye Ri now.
I'm off.
Okay. Wait, Jan Di.
Let me help you prepare for the art competition, okay?
I'll think about it.
Bye.
Get home safely, Jan Di!
Goodness.
What was that about? The art competition is just an excuse.
You're doing this to keep Jan Di by your side day and night, aren't you?
Yes.
I'll spend more time with Jan Di to bond more with her.
And this way, I can see Kang San day and night too. Okay?
Don't be like this, Ho Rang. Jan Di isn't that good.
Besides, you can't win Kang San's heart by doing this.
Shut it.
Please come to your senses, Director Jang Ho Rang.
Gosh, I don't know.
If you won't help me, mind your own business.
Anyway, I'll give the other sandwich to Ms. Ok.
Why?
You eat it.
You're here, Ms. Dong.
Yes.
You didn't come to work on time, so I was worried.
You don't need to worry about me. Mind your own business, Doo Ho.
Actually, I won't call you by your first name anymore.
I'll politely address you as Mr. Kim from now on.
Pardon me?
Like you said,
we should maintain our employer-employee relationship.
Let's draw a very clear line and never cross it.
(Sun Bakery)
Okay.
Hello.
Sunny.
This is for you.
What is this?
Handmade seaweed chips.
Made by a seaweed chip master with 30 years of experience.
It's to die for.
I went through hoops to get some for you, Sunny.
My gosh, thank you.
You brought this for me?
Yes, that's right.
Those who live alone often skip meals, you know.
And...
feel free to call me whenever you don't want to eat alone.
Your friend Charlie here...
will be on standby 24-7.
My gosh.
For me? 24-7?
Call me anytime.
If you call me, I'll come running.
Oh, pass me your phone.
Sorry? My phone?
Well...
Where did I put my phone?
Couldn't he get organized first?
All these clothes...
What is this?
"Men's shoes..."
What? A thousand dollars?
Where did Father get money...
to buy such expensive shoes?
This is Ho Rang's card.
(Sunny)
All right, Sunny. I've saved your number on my phone.
How will you save my number on your phone, Sunny?
Sunny, what are you doing?
Sorry?
What were you thinking about? Hand over your phone.
My phone?
Come on.
Well, why?
Save my name as Charlie.
And right next to it...
A heart emoji.
My goodness. A heart? I'm too old for that.
What?
That's how I saved your number, Sunny.
Do you want to see the heart?
Gosh.
Ta-da.
(Son)
What?
Weren't you getting a call from your son?
Son? No way.
Kang San.
Hey, Ho Rang.
What's up?
You never ask me to meet up first.
Ho Rang, why does my father have your credit card?
Oh, Kang San.
Why do you have this?
Ho Rang.
I'm so sorry you had to take care of him when he had nowhere to go,
and I'm really grateful for your help.
But I do not understand why you gave him your credit card.
What about it don't you understand?
You're well aware of my situation,
and you know what my father is like.
So how could you give him your credit card?
Does that make sense to you?
You think it's that wrong?
There's no harm in letting him borrow it for a couple of days.
Look. My father used your card...
to buy a pair of shoes that cost 1,000 dollars.
Oh, that. I bought him those shoes.
Besides, your father...
No. I wanted to impress Father no matter what.
What do you mean you wanted to impress my father?
Do you really not understand what I'm trying to say?
Ho Rang, you're so good to Jan Di.
That alone makes me so grateful.
If my father is inconveniencing you like this too,
I feel so bad and uncomfortable...
that I can't even see you anymore.
Don't feel bad!
That's...
I did it because I like you.
What?
I like you.
Kang San, I...
like you.
How much?
You need money, don't you?
Mr. Dong offered money to some woman?
Think that you're the heroine of "Roman Holiday."
We'll have a great time.
Don't tell me you're dating a worthless loser.
- Wait. - Ju Hyuk.
It bothers me that my girlfriend keeps getting roped into your problems.
It irks me.
I've clearly warned you.
