(Episode 6)
Why... What's the matter, Kang San?
Mother, how could you do that?
What?
Grandma, Dad must've found out everything.
Calm down.
How could you do that without even telling me?
Well... Kang San, let me explain.
You know how frustrating it is when you can't do what you want to do.
Yes. I know that very well.
You never liked my side dishes...
and always want to nag me about it.
I know that well.
What? Did you say "side dishes?"
Yes, my side dishes.
Even so,
you shouldn't have touched my samples.
Oh, is that what this is about?
I thought it was too bland.
I did it to help you.
Then you should've dressed properly.
I didn't dress properly? What do you mean?
There was a strand of hair in his food sample...
for the restaurant owner to taste.
And it was as white as snow.
It was your hair, wasn't it?
No way.
I was wearing a head scarf.
Gosh. Why is it not coming out?
We used it all up already.
There. It's finally coming out.
Oh, right. I'm so sorry.
My head scarf fell off while I was making the food.
I guess that's when my hair got in.
What do we do now?
What should we do?
I don't know. He jumped through hoops to get that opportunity,
but you ruined everything. What are you going to do now?
Oh, no. Then...
Hey, I shouldn't have meddled.
I'm sorry, Kang San.
I know you did it for the store.
Don't worry about it.
I'll work harder to get another deal.
But still, the restaurant owner said the food was really good.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
- Mom's food is the best. - Hey.
She's right.
Grandma's food is amazing.
And Dad's food is also awesome.
Jan Di, you're eating with gusto today.
You've been in a great mood all day long.
Why? Did something exciting happen?
Well, something good happened.
I'll tell you later.
Oh, man. I'm dying to know what it is.
Mr. Geum, are you home?
- Oh, my. Hello. - Hello.
Sir, what brings you here?
I was passing by, and I have something to tell you.
By the way, you kept the door open.
Yes, as always.
If you haven't had dinner yet,
- please join us. - Right. Please come.
Join us as she said. We have radish kimchi that you like.
- Right. - Let's talk over dinner.
No, that's okay. I have to leave right away.
What is it?
Your lease for your store is up soon.
Oh, is it, already?
That being said, I'd like to increase the deposit.
How much?
By 20,000 dollars.
What? Twenty thousand dollars?
Kang San.
- Mom. - Oh, gosh.
But...
- Come on in. - Yes.
Hello, Mr. Eun.
Hello.
Every caregiver you found for us quit...
in a few days.
That's because Grandpa is unusually picky.
Since most of our family members are women,
my father is a little uncomfortable with it.
I'm sorry about this and will be counting on you.
Don't worry about it. I'll do my best.
Gosh. I told you to leave.
Chairman Hwang, please.
Come on.
Grandpa, please take your clothes off already.
Mr. Eun should go home after helping you bathe.
Why did you bring him here?
I can do it by myself.
What if your burn wound gets wet?
If you fall and break a bone, that'll be worse.
Sir, I'll make sure to make you feel comfortable.
So please change into the bath robe first.
I said I didn't want to. Stop it!
My gosh.
- Ouch. - Mr. Eun.
My nose hurts.
It's okay. I'm fine, sir.
- Your nose is bleeding. - I'm bleeding?
I'm bleeding.
Is the talk with the landlord not going well?
Why hasn't he come back yet?
Eat your food while waiting for him.
Jan Di, why aren't you eating?
Because I'm worried.
What's gotten into you? Have you become mature?
Hey, how can you swallow food in this situation?
It's not just a few thousand dollars.
He increased the deposit by 20,000 dollars.
You can use the money you saved up.
But...
That money...
Goodness.
Kang San, what did the landlord say?
Did he agree to lower the amount?
He said that if we couldn't pay the amount he demanded,
we should move out.
Oh, no. What do we do?
How are we going to get 20,000 dollars in 3 months?
Dad, do you not have enough money for that either?
We'll take care of it since we're adults.
Don't worry about it and eat up.
Mother, please eat.
Starving ourselves won't solve the problem.
Let's eat for now.
Eat up.
Let's eat for now, Mom.
Eat up.
- Mother. - Yes.
You have spare money of about 10,000 dollars, right?
Oh, well... Yes.
Let's use that money to pay the deposit.
And about the remaining amount... I have some money saved up.
Since we have three months,
I'll work hard to make enough money.
Kang San.
Is there any way we can borrow money?
We haven't even paid off our mortgage loan yet.
Where can we borrow money?
Besides, the interest rate is so high these days. We can't do that.
Right? Of course.
Thank goodness we have at least 10,000 dollars.
Don't you think so, Mother?
What?
Oh, yes. I mean... I guess you're right.
Mother, can you give me the bankbook now?
I'll go to the bank tomorrow to update the bankbook...
and check the balance.
The bankbook?
Let me... I'll do it.
That's okay. You have knee problems. You shouldn't walk too much.
I'll go. The bankbook is in there, right?
Hey, stop. Goodness, you.
I said I would do it. What's wrong with you?
Goodness, Mother.
You never even leave your bankbook with me although I'm your son-in-law.
Fine. Then please go to the bank tomorrow.
I'll do that.
Then good night, Mother.
Good night.
Why didn't you go to your room? What are you doing here?
Dad, did you discuss the deposit with Grandma?
I told you not to worry about it.
I'll take care of that matter. Just go and do your homework.
Really? Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
Okay.
Should I get another job?
Oh, boy. Look at that.
I only have 530 dollars left.
What should I do?
I'm so jealous.
You've joined the agency officially.
I'll become like Ruby of Pink Blue soon.
Look forward to it.
Your grandmother is so cool.
She paid 10,000 dollars for the training fee just like that.
My grandma sure is awesome.
She said she'd give me all the support so that I could join a girl group.
I'll see you at school.
Grandma.
Hye Ri said she wished she had a grandma like you.
Thank you, Grandma.
I'll become a singer and make it up to you.
Jan Di.
The money I paid the agency...
for making you a singer...
I think I should get it back.
Why? Is it because of the deposit?
Yes.
But last night, Dad said that we didn't have to worry about it.
He said that because he didn't know...
that I had paid the agency 10,000 dollars.
I have to get the money back and use it to pay the deposit.
No! You can't do that now!
I bragged to all my friends that I joined the agency.
Jan Di, I promise I'll make money...
and help you join an agency later.
So let's sort out the deposit problem first...
This was my first time passing an audition!
I might never get a chance like this again!
I won't give up!
Jan Di, I have to get the money back...
to keep running my business.
Mom.
Did you give money to an agency to make Jan Di a singer?
Quiet down. Kang San might hear you.
My gosh. I guess it's true.
Hey, Jan Di, you talked her into it, right?
No, she volunteered to help me out.
Then why are you going back on your word?
I hate you, Grandma!
- My gosh. - Hey...
- I can't believe her. - Goodness.
Jan Di...
Oh, dear. What do I do?
Oh, my.
Gosh.
Here we go.
Jan Di, have breakfast before leaving.
I'm good.
Then at least have some rolled omelet.
I put a lot of low-fat cheese in it. It's tasty.
Let's eat.
I said I wouldn't eat!
Jan Di.
She made hearts with her hands yesterday.
But today, she's as cold as Siberia.
- Ye Ju. - Yes?
Did you have a fight with Jan Di?
No. I'm not a person who would fight with her niece every day.
It's just that she suddenly got upset and left without having breakfast.
Mother, did something happen with Jan Di in your room?
What? Of course not. What could have happened between us?
She's going through puberty, you know.
She's on an emotional roller coaster because of the hormones.
- Right. That's true. - Yes.
Now, let's eat.
I'll eat later.
You two eat without me.
I told her not to worry about the deposit, but she's being like that again.
Hi, Jan Di.
Are you going to school?
Yes.
Would you like some bread?
I'm fine.
Oh, my.
Did you cry?
What's the matter?
No, I didn't cry.
Jan Di.
Why don't you visit my academy lately as you used to?
I don't take lessons there anymore.
That doesn't matter.
Visit me whenever you want to see me.
We have a lot of snacks there too.
Okay.
I can go by myself, Mom.
I said you shouldn't go by yourself.
I'll be fine. Mr. Kim will drive me to school, you know.
No. Let me go with you, okay?
I really don't want you to come.
What?
Seriously.
Auntie Mi Rae.
Hey, Jun Pyo.
What's the matter, Soo Ji?
I mean...
I said I'd drive him to school, but he keeps refusing it.
What if the girl who hit you before...
harasses you again?
I'm off.
Hey, wait. Jun Pyo!
- Come on, Soo Ji. - Gosh.
I think you're overprotective.
Jun Pyo wouldn't get hit by a girl again.
You don't know because you haven't seen that girl.
She's so rough and tough...
just like weeds.
Jun Pyo grew up to be sophisticated in a good environment.
She's totally different from him.
Oh, really?
Who on earth is she?
Don't get me started.
I heard that her mother had left home a long time ago.
Maybe because she grew up without her mother's love,
she's unbelievably rude and mean.
Don't say that. Not all children without a mother are like that.
That's prejudice.
Oh, I see. It's prejudice?
Seeing that you're siding with that girl,
I guess when you see kids like her,
you identify with them.
Oh, no. I shouldn't have said that.
Well, I'm sorry, Mi Rae.
That's okay. I'll get going now.
"Prejudice?"
Why won't he answer his phone?
Gosh. I feel so uneasy.
Are you calling the person at the agency?
Yes.
Is it too early? He's not picking up.
Try calling him again later.
I mean, how could you spend 10,000 dollars without even discussing with Kang San...
while knowing that he was totally against it?
He'll throw a fit if he finds out.
Stop it already.
I'll put the money back in my account before he finds out.
Kang San isn't the only one. What are you going to do about Jan Di?
You shouldn't take back what you've already given.
Are you trying to make her upset or what?
Gosh.
Goodness. My poor sweetie pie.
Oh, my. It's so nice.
Oh, no. What should I do about this?
Still, I'm happy.
Look how dusty it is.
Ju Hyuk, you're doing well, right?
I miss you so much.
What?
Oh, my. Speak of the man.
Hey, Ju Hyuk.
You're the best as always, Auntie Kyu Sun.
You sound so happy to hear my voice.
Goodness, you heartless brat.
Didn't you miss me?
Of course, I missed you.
No, I'm not calling you because Mi Rae told me to.
By the way,
how's Father doing?
Of course, your dad is doing fine.
You're better than your dad, asking how he's doing.
I can't believe Kyu Chul puts himself before his own son.
He's always been like that, you know.
Oh, and I'm taking a flight to Korea tonight.
Really?
Okay. Come straight home, okay?
Yes. Bye.
How nice.
I'm excited that Ju Hyuk is coming.
But I'm worried he might fight with Kyu Chul again.
How exciting.
Ms. Ok.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Mr. Jang.
I warned you, didn't I?
I told you not to talk about silly things unrelated to work.
I don't mind. I don't have a boyfriend.
Really? Then what type of man do you like?
Well...
A man who's professional at work and good at self-management...
and who comes across as cold and aloof,
but actually has a warm heart.
That kind of guy.
That's quite specific.
It sounded like you described someone you know.
You're right.
I guess you have a crush on someone.
Actually, I've been having a one-sided crush on someone...
since I was a little girl.
Oh, my.
I'm in unrequited love too.
What? You're in unrequited love?
With whom?
What?
Well, he's...
He's some guy...
who looks like Actor Hyun Bin.
- Ho Rang. - Oh, my. Hi, Kang San.
Hi.
Oh, hello.
Is Jan Di okay?
Did you talk to her?
Yes. I'm sorry for what she did that day.
Ho Rang told me...
that Jan Di had tried to scam Ms. Ok.
Ms. Ok was considerate and let her off.
And Jan Di regrets what she did.
Ms. Ok, you're not only beautiful on the outside...
but also have a good heart.
Oh, right. I saw Jan Di this morning.
She seemed upset.
Did something happen?
Even when everything is okay,
her mood fluctuates every day.
I understand. Everyone says that raising an eighth grader...
is as stressful as living with...
a mean mother-in-law.
By the way, what brings you here so early in the morning?
Oh, right.
I'm sorry for asking you this favor, but I was wondering...
if I could put up our store flyers in this building?
You silly. Of course, you can do that.
Why was it so hard for you to say that?
Thank you, Ho Rang.
What?
That's okay.
You don't have to be sorry or grateful.
Of course, we'll help you do that. You're our close friend.
I'm close to the building manager.
I'll ask him. Let's go together.
Bye.
- Clean the floor while I'm gone. - Hey.
- I'll be back shortly. - What? Gosh, you.
Bye, Kang San.
Thank you, Ho Rang.
Let's go.
His business must be struggling so much.
He never asked others any favors.
We also...
need to get as many students as we can in the beginning of the semester.
How about we hand out flyers too?
Good idea. Shall we?
Yes.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
(Hwang Dong Food)
Hello, everyone.
- Hello, Mr. Choi. - Hello.
It's good to see you all.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Hey, Mr. Ok.
I booked the segoshi sashimi restaurant that you like.
Right now. Let's get going now.
Since you treated me last time,
it's on me today.
- Sounds great. - Okay.
Have lunch without me, everyone.
- We're off. - Enjoy your lunch, sir.
- See you all later. - You too.
- Let's go. - See you later.
Don't you think Mr. Choi comes to our office too often lately?
He's trying to win Mr. Ok over since he'll be the successor.
I heard Mr. Choi used to work as Chairman Hwang's secretary.
Considering how he moved up to the executive position,
I think he's incredible.
- Right? - Incredible, my foot.
He got the position by buttering up the higher-ups. Also,
I'm the closest person to Mr. Ok at this company.
It's me, Eun Sang Soo, okay?
Your lunch box is here.
Hello.
Please have it while it's warm.
Mr. Eun, you seem to order a lunch box quite often.
Is the food good?
Well, that depends on your palate, I think.
I feel too lazy to go out. Shall we order their food too, Da Seul?
- You can order anytime... - No.
It's not a lunch box store, but a side dish store.
I wouldn't recommend it.
- Go on and have lunch. - I guess it's not so good.
- Let's go, Da Seul. - Yes, Ms. Park.
Goodbye.
Sang Soo.
You know how tasty and hygienic our food is.
Why didn't you recommend to them when we're family?
"Everyone, my mother-in-law runs a side dish store."
I don't want to let everyone in the office know that.
Then can I hand out the flyers in other offices?
Don't you know...
that no soliciting is allowed here for security purposes?
Then can you put in a good word...
so that I can at least put up the flyers?
Our business is not doing well at all.
Getting more orders for lunch boxes will be helpful.
See? You don't think of my position.
This is a food company.
Besides, my immediate superior is a member of the owner family.
If I, whom that kind of person trusts,
promote my mother-in-law's food...
to help her grow her business, that'd be absurd. Don't you think so?
Why can't you see that?
Gosh, seriously.
So what are today's side dishes?
Sang Soo, you can't do this.
Put it on the tab. My gosh.
Oh, good. There are sausages that I like.
Gosh.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
He's still not picking up?
This won't work. I'll go to his office.
I'll go with you.
If you go alone, he might refuse to give you the refund.
Hey. It's not just chump change.
I paid 10,000 dollars in cash.
Why wouldn't he give me back the money?
Oh, the receipt. Did you get the receipt?
A receipt?
No, I didn't receive it.
My gosh. You paid a whole 10,000 dollars,
but you didn't even receive a receipt?
Mom, have you lost your mind?
I mean, in that situation,
- I was... - What do you mean by that, Ye Ju?
Oh, boy.
What do you mean by "paying 10,000 dollars?"
Well... Actually...
It wasn't me. It was Mom.
What does she mean by all this, Mother?
Oh, goodness.
To whom did you pay 10,000 dollars?
Kang San.
I mean, the thing is...
- Mother. - What?
- Are you sure we're at the right place? - Yes. But what's this mess?
- Mom. - Why is it so messy? What happened?
- Yes, the office right there. - Okay.
- Coming through. - Excuse me.
- My goodness. - Everyone.
Take all the stuff out of this place. Remove everything.
- What... - Excuse me.
Where did the people who worked here go?
How would I know?
Those scammers must have run away.
What...
Scammers?
They were more than six months behind on rent.
And they just ran away without paying it.
They ran away?
- Oh, no. Mother. - Mom. Are you all right?
No.
This can't be happening.
That's good. Put it in the box too. Put all those in the box.
Father.
Let me at least put a side dish on your spoon.
Stop bothering me.
Leave if you're going to keep doing that.
All right. Please eat.
Father.
Oh, goodness. Father.
What should I do? Father, are you all right?
- Oh, gosh. What do I do? - I'm fine. Stop making a fuss.
You should change your clothes first.
I'll go and bring you clean clothes.
Hello, Mr. Dong.
Where's Ms. Hwang?
Well... The thing is...
Father, I'll help you get changed.
- Come on. - Leave it. You can leave now.
You can't do it by yourself.
You might catch a cold...
- because of the wet clothes. - No.
Father.
I'm your daughter. Let me help you.
I said I didn't need your help.
I can ask Jae Hyun to help me when he's home.
Goodness, Father.
Mr. Hwang, let me help you.
Oh, hey. Kyu Chul.
What? You'll help me?
Yes, sir.
She was baited by horrid scammers.
Those scums from Fly Entertainment planned the whole thing.
We've received reports from tens of victims already.
You can catch them though, right?
About that...
They already fled overseas.
So it won't be easy.
- My money! - Mother.
No!
- Mother. - My money.
- Mother. - Mom.
- Pull yourself together, Mom. - Goodness gracious.
It must be hard enough for you because of your wife.
I feel so bad that you got scammed on top of that.
Please.
Detective, please help me find my money back.
I can't lose that money.
Don't you worry. I'll make sure to catch them.
Please help me.
Please stand up.
- Please stand up now. - Mother, please get up.
Oh, gosh. My money.
(Apple of My Eye)
Stop lying!
I know you're all lying to stop me from joining the agency.
- Jan Di! - Both his wife and daughter ran away.
I mean, what's going on?
I'm so afraid I might lose Jan Di too, Ho Rang.
Are you two dating?
Kyu Chul, are you out of your mind?
I heard a noise.
Is someone there?
No.
No, Jan Di.
Jan Di!
