Wait, Kang San.
Calm down and let it slide.
Dad and Grandma.
- Geum Jan Di! How dare you? - Stop it.
Why? Did something happen?
Oh, dear. My sweetie pie, why did you do that?
Look at you with all the makeup.
Ho Sik was right, Kang San.
Hey, we heard you caused trouble at the art academy.
Dad, I was just...
Geum Jan Di, come with me now. You must apologize to Ms. Jang!
No. I will not apologize to her.
Are you going to keep this up?
- Is this how I taught you? - My goodness.
You always side with Ms. Jang! You won't even listen to me.
She's right, Kang San.
I'm sure Jan Di did it for a reason.
Mom! Coddling her won't solve anything.
Obstruction of business is considered a crime.
What? A crime?
Geum Jan Di. I cannot let this slide.
Let's go see Ms. Jang now!
Yes, go with your dad before things get out of hand.
(Horang Art Academy)
Ho Rang.
Hey, Kang San.
Come in. Quick!
Jan Di.
Ho Sik told me that Jan Di wronged you.
I'm really sorry.
Gosh, no. Jan Di did nothing wrong.
She just pulled a little prank so that we could become closer.
Right, Jan Di?
What are you waiting for? Apologize to her at once.
I'm sorry.
Do it properly!
I'm sorry for causing a ruckus at the academy and being mean to you.
Are we good now?
That brat. Wait, Geum Jan Di!
Kang San!
Just leave her alone.
It mustn't have been easy for her to apologize to me.
Because of Jan Di...
I can't even face you.
All teenagers are like that, you know.
She's just an eighth grader, after all.
And Ho Rang, I think Jan Di should stop...
taking classes at your academy.
What do you mean?
Why? Did Jan Di say she wanted to drop out?
No, it's not that.
She keeps stressing you out. This can't go on.
No!
What?
Oh, I'm really fine.
If Jan Di wants to keep taking classes here, just let her.
She finally gave up on joining a girl group...
and has taken an interest in art.
She shouldn't quit now, you know?
Right, but I just feel so bad for what you've had to put up with.
Gosh, I told you not to worry about it!
Also, she says that she hates me...
but is not saying she wants to quit the academy.
Clearly, she likes to draw and paint here.
So don't worry, and just keep sending her here.
Would that really be okay?
Yes, of course.
Gosh.
(Horang Art Academy)
Ms. Ok.
Did the talk with Ms. Jang go well?
As Jan Di was leaving, she told me that she apologized to her.
Yes, she did.
Anyway, I heard Jun Pyo couldn't register for the classes...
because of Jan Di.
Oh, yes.
Jun Pyo's mother must be very upset.
It must've put you in an awkward position.
I'm really sorry.
I'm fine,
but Jun Pyo really wanted to take the art classes here.
It wasn't easy for Soo Ji to decide to send him here.
That's what I'm worried about.
It's all Jan Di's fault.
Mr. Geum.
Jan Di must be uneasy now.
What do you mean by that?
"Dad has been waiting for Mom for all these years."
"What if this makes him falter?"
"What if she steals Dad's love and attention from me?"
That's probably why she's being mean to Ms. Jang.
It'd be okay if she was just acting up here and there.
But this is wrong.
Why don't you take some time and try to understand how Jan Di is feeling?
When you're just looking downward, you can't really see...
how someone's feeling.
I guess...
I should've tried to understand her and comfort her more.
Thank you so much for everything, Ms. Ok.
Thank you.
Why did you bring me here?
Only adults come to places like this.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Well, try this. It's jujube tea.
It'll help you calm your mind.
My dear daughter.
You must've been feeling anxious...
because of me.
What are you saying?
I'm not going anywhere.
What I'm saying is, you don't need to be afraid or worry about things...
that will never happen.
Are you sure?
Yes, so put your worries to rest.
Is there anything you want to say to me?
To be honest,
I was quite angry.
I was so close to hating you, Dad.
Why?
You didn't even listen to me...
and yelled at me to apologize to Ms. Jang no matter what.
I see.
No one even tried to understand you.
You must've been so upset.
No, I had someone.
You did?
Who? Hye Ri?
No, not Hye Ri.
Then who?
Just someone.
This is nuts.
So at the academy,
Jan Di kicked out Jun Pyo, the great-grandson of Chairman Hwang?
Yes, apparently.
Gosh, this is crazy.
Why is it crazy?
All kids her age do stuff like that.
You think your son would never do things like that?
Se Chan is very different from Jan Di, Mr. Geum.
Whatever. Based on the news, people in that part of the world are a lot scarier.
So? What's your point?
- Gosh. - My goodness.
Oh!
- You're back. - I'm home.
I'm home too.
Hey, Jan Di.
I told you to be careful. I heard you caused trouble again at the academy.
I'm sorry, Uncle Sang Soo.
Seriously, what's with all of you?
If you can't help me, at least don't ruin it for me.
That's enough. She's still a kid.
Sang Soo, I understand that you're upset,
but please calm down. Okay? Calm down.
Jan Di, go to your room.
Okay.
Sang Soo. About Jun Pyo attending the academy,
I'll talk to them when I get to work tomorrow,
so don't worry.
How can I not worry?
You know that Ms. Choi cares a great deal...
about anything and everything involving her son.
Of course, I know that.
How many times have I asked you to make sure Jan Di behaves herself?
Goodness. I can't take this anymore.
Hey, why are you blaming it all on my son?
You don't think it's partially Ms. Ma's fault?
What? Mr. Geum.
Why are you blaming it on me?
After finding out that Ho Rang liked him, you wanted to make her give up.
So you went to the academy and thew money at her.
Your crude antics were what started everything.
What? "Crude antics?"
That's right! Kids learn by observing adults.
Jan Di is acting up because she grew up watching your aggressive antics.
What? Hold on.
Mother, have you caused trouble too?
What? No, I was just so angry at Ho Rang.
Sang Soo, I did not cause trouble for Chairman Hwang or his family.
Mr. Geum.
I did that because you used Ho Rang's card to buy those expensive shoes.
That's why I got so angry and did what I did!
Don't use me as an excuse.
No one pestered you to pay her back.
Please calm down, both of you.
I really wasn't going to say this,
but please get on my level if you want to live with me!
Your level?
Your level? What do you mean?
Yes, you heard me right!
My mother-in-law threw money at someone's face like a lowbrow.
My niece is going all out to put the academy director in trouble.
And you, Mr. Geum, used someone else's credit card to buy expensive shoes.
Honestly, it's so hard for me to live with people like you.
Upgrade yourselves, will you? Darn it!
- Sang Soo! - Gosh, Kang San.
Did he tell us to stoop down?
Why did he say that?
That's not what he said, Mother.
- What? - Goodness.
If someone saw that, they'd think he owned this house.
Anyway, did Ye Ju go out? She's not here.
What? Why are you suddenly looking for Ye Ju?
She's always hovering around me, making me all uncomfortable.
Every time you say something, she chimes in.
But she's nowhere to be seen, so I'm a little worried.
Forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, forty-four,
forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight,
forty-nine, fifty.
Yes! Five hundred dollars.
My head still hurts when I think about how Jan Di...
caused such a scene at the academy earlier.
You know, Soo Ji...
I'm not saying what Jan Di did was right.
But there was a bit of a situation.
A situation? What is it, Mi Rae?
Well, the thing is...
Situation, my foot.
Mi Rae, she's just extremely rude.
In front of me, she brazenly said she'd be Jun Pyo's best friend.
Thinking about how rude she was to me...
Gosh, I still get goosebumps all over.
Maybe she said that because she really wanted to be his good friend.
Mother, please. It's just what she says.
If I send Jun Pyo to that academy, she'll extort money from him.
Jan Di is not a bad girl.
My gosh, Jun Pyo.
Yes, Grandma.
Like Auntie Mi Rae said, Jan Di had a bit of a situation.
Jun Pyo, you were studying. Why did you come downstairs?
Hurry up and go back upstairs.
Wait. Jun Pyo wants to tell us something. Right, son?
Well...
Jun Pyo, you must know something.
Yes, Great-grandpa.
The director of the art academy...
likes Jan Di's dad and has been chasing him.
Jan Di only did that to give her a hard time.
My gosh. Mi Rae, is this true?
Yes. The truth is, Jan Di has been very upset about it.
She's still young, you know.
She was expressing her resentment toward Ms. Jang, although it wasn't right.
I see. It's understandable, considering her age.
Anyway, that young girl must've been very hurt.
Mi Rae. In other words,
Jan Di caused such a scene because she was afraid...
her dad would end up dating her and wanted to make her give up?
My goodness. They say everyone has their own charm.
Gosh, Mr. Geum has still got it!
He has nothing.
How did he manage to seduce that spinster?
Honey, Jun Pyo is listening.
Oh, sorry. He didn't seduce her. He charmed her.
Mom.
So I can attend the art academy, right?
No, you cannot.
Why not?
I've thought long and hard about this,
and that academy just isn't good enough for you, my dear son.
Then...
I won't take the famous instructor's classes either.
Jun Pyo, are you rebelling against me now?
My gosh, Jun Pyo. Hey, Ok Jun Pyo!
Honey, just sit down. My goodness.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
Now, my son even knows how to negotiate.
Goodness. It's just a mediocre art academy in the middle of nowhere.
Why is he so adamant about taking classes there?
Soo Ji, Jun Pyo really wants to take classes at the academy.
Just let him.
And the academy isn't mediocre.
Our students won awards in many art competitions.
Art competitions?
- Yes. - Yes, Soo Ji.
Now, we know what happened. Just let him attend the academy.
Soo Ji, I'll teach him well.
Well, I'm not sure.
Art competitions?
My gosh. Where did my shoes go?
My designer shoes.
Didn't you leave them outside, Father?
No, I did not. Why would I leave those expensive shoes outside?
They were here. This spot right here.
I carefully put them right here.
Where did they go?
Then look for them again. Try to remember what you did with them.
That's odd. It's not like we have a dog...
that would hide them.
Did you take them?
Don't accuse an innocent person. I've never even seen those shoes.
What do you mean you've never seen them? They were in this room the whole time!
What? Are you accusing me of stealing your shoes?
Where are my shoes?
I love those shoes. Give them back. Where are they?
Let go, Mr. Geum!
Gosh, you two. Why are you being like this again?
Sang Soo, I'm sorry.
Father, I'll go check the shoe cabinet again. Okay?
Gosh, my shoes.
Your owner is right here. Where did you go? Gosh, my shoes...
Father, wait here.
- Ye Ju. - Hi, Kang San.
Mr. Geum, your shoes have found a new owner.
What? How do you know that?
I know because I sold them on the second-hand market.
Did you hear that, Mr. Geum?
You sold them?
Yes, I sold them just now.
Ye Ju, you sold those shoes on the second-hand market?
That's right, Kang San.
Gosh, those shoes were so expensive.
Ye Ju, you can't sell someone else's belongings...
without permission.
Oh!
That's why you made me go to the sauna earlier.
Bingo!
Why did you do that? Do you have it out for me?
I'm really sorry I touched your belongings without your permission.
But my mom and Kang San are working so hard to pay back the money,
so I figured we should make some money off them.
As a member of the family, I had no choice but to sell them.
Please understand, Mr. Geum.
Ouch, my neck...
- Here's 500 dollars. - What?
Put it toward the security deposit.
Okay.
What? Why are you giving him the money?
Well done, Ye Ju.
All right! As for the rest,
we'll all pitch in and pay it off.
Okay.
Of course, that includes you too, Sang Soo.
We'll all pitch in?
Gosh, I'm suddenly exhausted. Kang San, lay out the blanket.
Okay, Sang Soo.
Sang Soo!
Father, I'll buy you...
a new pair of shoes later on.
How long will that take?
Darn it!
Hey.
(May 23, a burger set for lunch, 8.90 dollars)
Let's see. Shall I have pizza for lunch today?
What?
I had several pizza coupons. Hang on.
One, two, three... What?
I'm missing ten coupons!
That old man!
Ye Ju.
You see...
I was so angry about my shoes...
that I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
Why, Mr. Geum?
I had only worn them a couple of times.
How could you sell them so cheaply?
We should be grateful that we made half of the original price. Right, Mom?
What? My goodness.
Now, we just need to pay off the remaining 500 dollars.
I'll take care of that, so don't worry about it, Mother.
All right.
Mr. Geum!
What is it?
I'm busy digesting what I ate.
You took my coupons, didn't you?
What are you talking about? I have no idea what you're saying.
Coupons? What do you mean, Sang Soo?
Well, I think he means...
that Mr. Geum stole his coupons.
My pizza and chicken coupons. Give them back at once.
Goodness. Don't accuse an innocent person.
Did you see me stealing them? Did you?
Gosh, seriously!
- What are you doing? - Sang Soo!
My goodness.
Sang Soo! That's enough.
- What are you touching... - Found them!
- What? - Look at these.
Mr. Geum.
Look. Will you keep playing dumb?
Father, did you really take Sang Soo's coupons?
Yes, I did!
They're free coupons, for goodness' sake! How petty.
"Petty?"
And those pizza coupons. They were expired.
I was so embarrassed because of them!
My gosh. Look at the thief yelling at me.
Father, what's the matter with you? Apologize to him at once.
I'm sorry.
Is that the attitude of someone who is apologizing?
What's wrong with my attitude? What do you want from me?
I'm sorry! Are we good now?
- Gosh, seriously. - Sang Soo, I'm sorry.
Seriously!
My gosh. How could you take his coupons? Mr. Geum, you're really something.
Thank goodness Jan Di already went to school.
I'm afraid she'd learn from you.
Yes, me too.
My goodness.
Darn it.
- Sang Soo, wait... - Sang Soo!
Seriously!
You're stressing me out so much!
Sang Soo.
Try to understand Mr. Geum for Kang San's sake.
Kang San is stuck in such a difficult position.
Well...
I've been trying to be patient for Kang San's sake,
but my patience has reached its limit.
Then take this and let it go.
What's this?
A coupon?
Yes, it's a coffee coupon for Sun Bakery.
You can get a free cup of coffee with it.
Thanks, Ye Ju.
Oh, I'm running late. I have to go.
- Okay, go. - Bye.
Have a good day!
You just got here?
Yes, well...
I'm really sorry about what Jan Di did yesterday, Ms. Choi.
Pay more attention to your daughter and keep her in check, Mr. Geum.
Please make sure Jun Pyo doesn't have to suffer again because of Jan Di.
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Geum, you're here.
You already decided to let Jun Pyo take the art classes.
Why are you taking it out on Mr. Geum again?
Have you decided to send Jun Pyo to the academy?
Well, Mi Rae practically begged me,
so I decided to let him have his way.
But I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing.
Sorry?
It is true that you practically begged me.
Oh, right.
Jun Pyo really wanted to take the classes.
I see. That's great.
Oh, Mr. Geum. Could we have a quick talk?
Sorry? About what?
Mother, are you going to fire him?
Of course not. Why would I fire Mr. Geum?
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Yes, Sister.
I'm sorry I haven't been in touch.
I moved to Seoul and got a job,
so I've been very busy.
I see. That's great news.
I guess we can see you often if you're in Seoul now.
Yes.
I'll bake the kids' favorite bread and visit you soon.
Yes, take care.
Bye.
My gosh, you were on the phone.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
I just got off the phone anyway.
Anyway, Charlie hasn't come by yet, so I'm bored.
We had such a fun date.
Oh, did you?
Don't you want to know what Charlie and I did?
No, not really. I'll go clean the windows.
Okay.
"Not really?"
He's not curious?
Really?
So you need to take some lunchboxes to the children's home...
and want to order them from us?
Yes, that's right.
Mi Rae told me...
that the lunchboxes from your store were very good.
That's right. They taste good and are packed with nutrients.
I tried one at the academy.
It was so good that I had to recommend it to my mom.
Thank you for the recommendation, Ms. Ok.
And thank you again, ma'am.
No, we should thank you.
We're supposed to volunteer at the children's home in a few days,
but we're struggling to find a good catering company.
Your store is tiny though.
Can you really make that many lunchboxes?
The store may be small, but we have years of experience.
I swear on the business' honor that we will do our very best.
Trust us, and leave it to us.
I will. My gosh. I took up too much of your time.
My father is waiting for you. You may go to his room now, Mr. Geum.
Yes. Thank you so much again, ma'am.
Mi Rae.
You passionately defended Jan Di yesterday.
Today, you're busy promoting his side dish store.
Soo Ji. Jan Di is my student, and I care for her.
I recommended the lunchboxes from his store because they're very good.
That's all.
Anyway, Mi Rae. It looks like you and Mr. Geum have gotten very close.
Oh, really?
President Dong, Mr. Choi.
What brings you to our office?
My gosh. It's getting late.
We knew you guys would still be here.
We'd like to have dinner with you two.
What do you say, Mr. Ok?
President Dong wants to take us to a fancy place for dinner.
I'm sorry. Mr. Dong and I have to meet with my grandfather this evening.
Chairman Hwang?
Yes, it's about the instant porridge Mr. Dong developed.
We promised to brief him on it before the sample came out.
Is that right?
Yes, so we're meeting him today.
Could we have dinner together tomorrow, President Dong?
What should we do, sir?
What can we do? We'll do it another time.
Then the two of us will have dinner together today.
No, we'll eat at home.
Pardon me? Oh, sure.
Mr. Dong, I have to use the restroom.
Meet me in the parking lot.
I'll be off, then.
- All right. - I'll get going too.
Okay, we'll have dinner together another time. Get going, Mr. Choi.
Yes, sir.
Be modest and lower yourself as much as possible in front of the chairman.
I don't have to tell you who should be the star of this project, right?
I'll see you at home.
Why won't you answer it? Is it that woman?
It's Mi Rae, Father.
Have you ended things with that woman?
Don't worry.
Take care of it so there will be no problems.
Go ahead and answer it.
(Hwang Dong Food)
Hey, Mi Rae.
Sorry, I missed your call earlier. The class ended just now.
You're coming over today?
I'll hurry home as soon as I get off work.
See you later, Ju Hyuk.
May I help you?
Ms. Ok Mi Rae, right?
Do you know me?
What about President Dong and Ju Hyuk?
The strange thing is...
Is that so?
Ms. Dong, this weekend...
This weekend? Is this a date?
Kang San, you should get going.
Yes, sorry? An accident?
By the way, I feel like we've met before.
I feel like I know you.
Don't tell me...
