(Episode 70)
Mr. Jang.
Put the sketchbooks in that cabinet, okay?
Of course, ma'am.
Jun Pyo.
Did your mother say anything about this academy?
Well... No, not at all.
Oh, I see.
If there's any inconvenience,
you can tell me, the director of this academy, anytime.
- I'll do that. - Okay.
Ms. Jang.
Yes, Jan Di?
Why would you address Jun Pyo so politely...
and not talk to me like that?
What?
Could it be that...
you're discriminating against me because I'm trying...
to keep you away from my dad?
Nonsense. Why would I do so?
I have something for you. Ta-da.
Jan Di, these are tickets for Pink Blue's concert...
that you want to go to so bad.
Oh, my. These really are tickets for Pink Blue's concert.
I don't need them.
What?
Why don't you receive them? It's really hard to get those tickets.
How do you know that?
Well... Actually, I failed yesterday.
But you don't like Pink Blue. Then why would you say you failed?
Oh, I just... You know...
I wanted to give the tickets to someone if I got them.
Jan Di.
I'm giving you these as a gift, so don't feel burdened. Here.
No. Don't think you can bribe me like this.
Bribe you?
That's right. I will never let you...
be my dad's girlfriend.
So don't even try to win me over with a gift like this.
What's wrong with me?
I'm good enough to be with your dad. You know that?
That's ridiculous. My dad looks like Actor Hyun Bin,
and my mom is so elegant like a swan...
since she used to be a ballerina.
But you...
are older than my dad...
and can't hold a candle to my mom.
My goodness. I'm speechless.
I may not be so young anymore,
but I still have a curvy body and no wrinkles on my face.
And I have body fat under 20 percent!
On top of everything, I still...
make so many men turn heads when I walk by.
Then go out with one of those men instead of my dad.
What did you just say? Hey...
- Ho Rang. Please stop it already. - You little...
You're humiliating yourself.
But she... Gosh.
I'm done drawing. I'll be off.
- Hey, wait. - But...
I said, wait.
Go on.
- Go home safely, Jun Pyo. - Bye.
Gosh. I can't believe that little rascal.
I mean, I adored her so much when she was a little girl.
Even so, it was so immature of you to argue with a kid.
That alone proves that you can't raise someone else's child.
And it's Jan Di of all people.
There's no way you can handle her.
You don't know anything.
Here. Take these.
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Why did you come back here?
Come on. Don't speak to me like that. You're scaring me.
Charlie... I mean, Mr. Geum Sun Dal, I asked why you were here.
(Sun Bakery)
I have something I must give you, Kyu Sun.
I don't want anything from you. Just leave immediately.
I said, leave.
Mr. Geum, stop causing a commotion and leave as she said.
Why are you meddling in this, Mr. Kim?
Kyu Sun.
What?
I'm really sorry.
My goodness. What are you doing right now?
Stand up.
I won't get up until you forgive me.
And I sincerely apologize to you...
for lying about my son and granddaughter and saying I had no marriage experience.
But I hope you understand...
that I had my own reasons for lying to you, Kyu Sun.
Stop it.
Mr. Geum, stand up now.
I told you to stay out of this.
If you read this letter...
and find out the sad story of my life,
you will change your mind.
Please read this letter, Kyu Sun.
"I was worried if he might be blown away by the wind,"
"if he might get rained on,"
"and if he might slip and fall on snow."
"I, Geum Sun Dal, spent all my youth..."
"worrying about my son Kang San."
"I cried so many tears throughout the years."
My goodness, Sun Dal.
Does it mean you lost your wife at such a young age...
and raised your son all by yourself?
That's right.
What I had to go through while raising my son all by myself...
would be enough for a full-length novel...
or a very long drama with a number of episodes.
It breaks my heart.
You must've gone through such hard times.
Sun Dal, I feel bad that it's been so hard for you.
Ms. Dong, actually...
Kyu Sun.
I'm not asking for a lot.
Just don't push me away. Let me just...
stay acquainted with you and see you from time to time.
I'd be fine with being your friend. Please.
All right. I understand, so you should leave for now.
Okay. Then we're friends again.
I'll come to see you often.
Call me anytime if you want to see me.
Sure. Go home safely.
Thank you for making the decision.
Wait, Doo Ho.
Yes, Ms. Dong.
Can we talk for a moment?
Come and sit here, please.
Okay.
You see, since last night,
I've been giving it some serious thought.
About whether I could accept you again.
I see. Please go on.
I concluded...
that it would be hard for me.
Oh, I see.
You were married once and have a daughter.
And you even went to prison.
I really think that's too much for me to handle.
I understand.
I thought you would feel that way.
However,
it would be even harder for me to live without you despite all that.
It would be even worse for me.
Pardon? I don't understand what you mean.
I...
want to get to know you better...
and move forward with you while holding your hand.
Ms. Dong.
What do you think, Doo Ho?
Are you sure you won't regret going out with someone like me?
You should make sure I don't regret it.
No, you don't have to do so. I think I'll never regret it.
I mean, I'll make sure not to regret it.
All right.
I understand.
Thank you.
Oh, right. Kang San.
Hasn't Chairman Hwang told you anything yet?
About what?
I'm talking about the idea you came up with.
I mean, it's not something he can just forget about.
Sang Soo is right. I'm pretty sure...
that he'll reward you with quite a lot of money.
He already offered me some money,
but I refused it.
Have you lost your mind?
Why did you refuse it?
Right, Kang San. We really need money. You should've accepted it.
Goodness, you.
Kang San did it to help the chairman,
not for money.
You did the right thing, Kang San.
Dad, you're pretty cool. No, I mean, you're awesome.
Anyway, I told him I would feel burdened if I received money.
Then he said he wanted to reward me in some other way.
He told me to take my time and think about what I needed.
Did he?
Well, then how about this?
What is it?
How about you ask him...
to promote me from deputy manager to general manager?
Isn't that a good idea?
What?
Or can you ask him to help me get a job at Hwang Dong Food?
I wouldn't mind interning there.
Hey! Then what about my store?
Of course, I'll quit working there and join Hwang Dong Food.
- What? - Come on, Ye Ju.
I can't ask him such a favor. That would put him in a difficult position.
- I'll go bring some more kimchi. - Okay.
Oh, my. Even though he's my dad, he's so cool and not obsessed with money.
He's so great.
Is that why Ms. Jang likes him so much?
Hey, Jan Di.
Does Ho Rang still hover around Kang San?
No, she's been quiet.
It's all because I've been keeping her in check...
at the academy with my eyes wide open.
Good. You're doing well.
Mom and I keep our eyes wide open at the store.
So Ho Rang won't be able to show up around your dad.
Okay, Auntie Ye Ju.
I'll call you if I see something going on.
Okay. Good.
What? Why can't Ho Rang meet Kang San?
Must you guys conspire together to prevent that?
Sang Soo, you know the current situation.
I don't know. I'm so scared...
that I'm getting goosebumps. Look. Can you see these, Mother?
Sang Soo, what's so scary that you're getting goosebumps?
- You won't believe this, Kang San. - What is it?
Mother and Ye Ju...
- Oh, there's a fly here. - She startled me.
- There it goes. Oh, gosh. It's so fast. - A fly?
It's over there. Sang Soo, catch it.
- Where is it? - There are two of them.
- It's right here. - Where?
- Oh, good. I caught it. - Here.
- I don't see anything. - Great. I caught it.
It's taking me over an hour just to julienne carrots.
How am I going to prepare a meal for a guest? My goodness.
Mother.
How is cooking going?
Oh, my. It's so thick.
You didn't mean to julienne the carrot, did you?
No, I didn't. I cut carrots into sticks.
Mother, you must be worried a lot about cooking for Ju Hyuk.
Shall I book a famous caterer now?
I said I would cook by myself. Why would you keep saying that?
I'll cook by myself...
to feed my future son-in-law.
Just wait and see.
It's not like I don't know that you can't cook.
I'm just worried. That's all.
This won't work.
I should take a break.
Oh, my. I must say, Mother has so much pride.
Gosh, look at this. What is this, a bat?
A baseball bat?
It's the perfect size to hold and eat, though.
Ju Hyuk, are you free this weekend?
This weekend? Why?
My mom wants to invite you to thank you for your hard work at the company.
She said she would cook by herself.
She'll cook for me?
I'm honored.
Oh, Mom is calling.
I guess she heard our conversation.
Answer it.
Hi, Mom.
Right now?
I'm with Ju Hyuk right now.
Mi Rae, you understand what I'm saying, right?
Yes.
Don't tell Ju Hyuk because I'm embarrassed.
Do as I said, okay?
Yes. Then I'll count on you.
Oh, okay, Mom.
What was that about? Is everything okay with Ms. Hwang?
Well... She's fine.
Ju Hyuk, I need to stop by some place.
Where?
I haven't washed dishes in a while.
Oh, gosh.
Why are you doing the dishes? Leave it.
That's okay. I can't make you do it every single day.
There should be some days when I do it too.
I'm surprised. You're doing the dishes.
I never knew this day would come.
Well... Since you...
made a contribution to my company and earned Chairman Hwang's trust,
I wanted to do something nice for you to reward you.
I got a compliment from you.
I'm so proud of myself.
Oh, and don't forget to ask Chairman Hwang to promote me.
What? Well...
Hello, Ms. Ok. What makes you call me at this hour?
You're in front of my store?
Sure. I'll head there right now.
Yes.
Kang San, why did you pick up your phone without answering my question?
I had to because it rang.
Oh, okay. Who was it? Jan Di's homeroom teacher?
No, it was Ms. Ok.
What? It was Ms. Ok?
Why would she call you at this hour?
I don't know. She didn't tell me the details.
Sang Soo, I'll step out briefly.
Okay. Go on.
Wait. Don't forget to give her my regards.
I'll do that, Sang Soo.
I guess Kang San is getting along well with everyone in Chairman Hwang's family.
By the way, I'm tired of doing the dishes already.
What is Ye Ju doing now? I want to pass this on to her.
Ye Ju!
Ms. Hwang wants...
to ask me to cook?
Yes. My mom said she'd cook by herself in front of the entire family...
and invited a guest.
But I think she became afraid...
that she might ruin everything and get humiliated.
Oh, I see.
There isn't a lot of time until the weekend,
and she said you were the only person...
to whom she could tell such a thing.
She could've just called me.
Well... Then...
Will you do what she asked for?
Of course. I'll do it for her.
Oh, really? I'm so relieved.
I was worried you might refuse.
Why would I refuse?
By the way, did she decide on the menu?
- Give me a second. - Okay.
She wants to include gujeolpan and braised sea bream on the menu.
And she'll let you decide on the other dishes. Here.
Thanks. Then...
I'll add a few dishes that I'm good at making.
Sounds great.
Oh, and she said she'd pay you for your work and the ingredients later.
Got it.
I'll do my best to make everything delicious.
Oh, right. Please don't tell anyone in my family.
Sure. I won't tell anyone.
By the way, if it's this weekend...
Oh, boy. I should start preparing the ingredients.
Let me help you.
You will help me?
Yes.
Gosh. I'm going to have chapped hands.
This is why an intelligent man like me should never do any housework.
Gosh. What is this? I see a red spot here.
Gosh, I'm so upset.
Sang Soo, give me your clothes to be washed.
- Goodness, Mother. - What?
Can't you knock?
Why must I knock? We're family.
Of course, you must always knock. What if I had been naked?
What would you have done?
I mean... Why is it such a big deal?
I wouldn't be so surprised.
Mother, your behaviors like this can cause a conflict between me and you.
Parents and children must knock before going into each other's rooms.
All right. I heard you.
Just give me your laundry so that I can wash everything together.
- Oh, that must be it. Is this it? - Yes.
Mother, can you please wash my clothes separately?
I don't want them to be washed with someone else's clothes.
What?
I'm asking you to wash them separately for hygiene reasons.
My goodness. All right. I'll do that.
By the way, where's Kang San? He wasn't in the living room either.
The thing is...
Yes?
I don't know why,
but I feel bad, Ms. Ok.
Really? Why?
I feel like I'm making you do too much work.
Please don't feel burdened. I'm helping you because I want to.
Also, thanks to you,
my mom can put her worries to rest now. I'm so grateful to you.
I guess you're having a special guest this weekend.
Well... Actually, she invited Ju Hyuk.
She calls him her future son-in-law. She must be pressured to impress him.
Oh, I see.
I'm done.
I'll help you peel the onions now.
Gosh, no. It will hurt your eyes.
I'm okay because I'm used to it.
Oh, my. Mr. Geum, tears are falling from your eyes.
Really? Gosh. I just told you I was okay. I'm embarrassed.
No. Stop.
Touching your eyes with that hand will burn your eyes.
My eyes are already burning because my hand was close to them.
Oh, no. Just a second.
Stay still.
- Okay. - I'll wipe it for you.
Thank you.
Kang San.
- Mother, you're here. - Hey.
Hello.
Oh, my. What are you doing here, Ms. Ok?
Well... The thing is...
She came here to order some food.
Oh, is that right?
But why is she in the kitchen?
I was helping him because it was urgent.
Oh, I see.
Now that I'm here, I can help him.
You should go home. It's getting late.
Well... Yes. Then I'll get going now.
- Okay. - Go home safely, Ms. Ok.
Goodbye. Oh, can you hang the apron out there?
Oh, okay. Then good night, Ms. Ma.
Good night to you too.
Goodness, Kang San.
You could've called me.
Why did you make Jan Di's art teacher help you with the work?
It happened that way.
All right. By the way, our food must be quite good...
seeing that the family keeps ordering our food.
Of course, Hong Do's Side Dishes is the best.
Absolutely.
By the way, Kang San,
you and Ms. Ok must be very close.
She's nice to Jan Di...
and treats me nicely.
Oh, I see.
I'll be honest with you.
I can't stop worrying about the people around you.
People around me?
Yes, I mean, Ho Rang or any other woman.
That's silly. You're worried for nothing.
Right. But that's how I feel. I just want you to know that.
You can practice in the yard, which is more spacious.
Why are you doing this in this small room?
The night air is not good for dancing.
It can damage my lungs.
Let's make the bed now so that we can go to sleep.
Doo Ho, it's a beautiful night.
Sweet dreams.
(Doo Ho, it's a beautiful night. Sweet dreams.)
Mr. Kim, whose text message is it...
that makes you smile from ear to ear?
Why are you asking that?
Am I not allowed to ask that?
It's just that I didn't expect to see you smile. That's why.
Hey, I do smile a lot if there's something that makes me happy.
Is that right? Then...
How about I make you smile every day?
You can make me smile every day?
That's right. Every single day.
You heard about a dance club, right?
There are a lot of things that would make you smile there.
You can meet so many young ladies who are lonely at the place.
What do you say? I'd like to introduce you to the new world.
I knew it. You want to go there, right?
But it costs quite a lot of money to have fun there.
Do you have any money saved up?
I'm not interested.
Come on.
Life is short. You should live a little.
I'll turn off the light in ten minutes.
Yes, sir.
While you're at Chairman Hwang's house,
try to discuss your marriage at the right moment.
Right. There's no reason to put off your marriage.
I'll try.
- I'll get going. - Okay.
Have a good time, Ju Hyuk.
- Yes, Auntie Kyu Sun. - Okay.
- See you later. - Bye.
Kyu Sun, you should help Ju Hyuk get married soon as well.
What could I do to help him?
You know what to do.
Meet Chan Ran often to discuss the kids' marriage.
You should play the role of Ju Hyuk's mother, don't you think?
Well, you're right about that, but...
By the way,
where are you going today?
Sorry?
Oh, I see. I'm going to my bakery, obviously.
I have no place else to go, you know.
I mean, customers come and go.
So I can't just wear anything. I have to dress nicely.
Wouldn't you agree?
Right. Make me some coffee before you leave.
I'll be in my room.
Okay.
If he finds out...
about me and Doo Ho, he'll throw a fit.
I feel like I'm walking on pins and needles.
Your mom has been making a fuss while trying to cook since this morning.
But since Ms. Yangpyeong is off today,
I wonder if she'll manage to make even bean sprout soup.
She'll be fine since Mi Rae is helping her.
Soo Ji, why don't you go out and help Mom too?
Goodness. I already offered to help,
but Mother won't even let me go near the kitchen.
Why would Chan Ran refuse your help?
I have no idea, Grandfather.
Mother and Mi Rae left me out and were whispering to each other...
as if they were cooking up a ruse or something.
I feel like I'm an outcast in this family.
Don't be ridiculous.
I'm sure it's because...
Mom and Mi Rae were so excited about Ju Hyuk's visit.
Can being excited be an excuse to treat me like an outcast?
Chan Ran would never treat you like an outcast...
since you're her only daughter-in-law.
I'm telling you the truth, Grandfather.
Thank goodness you made japchae, at least.
Mom, can you add a little soy sauce?
- Okay. I'll do that. - Yes.
- Oh, gosh. - Why?
Mom.
My gosh.
It's too salty. We can't eat this.
What do we do, Mi Rae?
We have no choice.
Mr. Geum said he would make several dishes.
Let's serve his food.
We just have to set the table beautifully with Mr. Geum's food, right?
Yes.
Oh, my.
Hello? Have you arrived, Mr. Geum?
Okay. I'll go out right now.
- Is he here? - Yes, Mom.
- I'll be right back. - Hey.
- Yes? - Make sure no one sees you, okay?
- Okay. - Good.
Gosh, it's too salty.
It's too salty. What should I do?
- Mr. Geum. - Oh, my.
Hello.
Oh, my. You brought so much food.
While packing the food we made,
my mother-in-law packed some more dishes.
I don't think you can carry all those by yourself.
I'll help you.
That's okay. It's really heavy.
- It's okay. - Let me help you.
- Ms. Ok, it's okay. It's really heavy. - Don't worry.
- I'll carry this bag. - No...
- Let me help you. - Ms. Ok, it's okay.
See? I told you it was heavy.
- I can carry it. - No. It's too heavy for you.
I said it was okay. Ms. Ok.
- It's okay, really. - I'll carry it.
Oh, no. Are you all right, Ms. Ok?
Are you hurt?
Well... No, I'm not hurt. I'm fine.
But what should we do about the food?
It's a mess. This is bad.
I'm sorry. I ruined it.
It's okay. I'm relieved that you didn't get hurt.
Mi Rae.
Oh, my. Ju Hyuk. You're here.
I'll hire you as a permanent employee of Hwang Dong Food.
Did you just say "permanent employee," sir?
I'm in front of Ok Mi Rae's house right now.
Should I go in? Or will you come out?
Meet me at the pasta restaurant on the hill this evening.
- Mr. Geum. - Gosh, you startled me.
- I think Mr. Geum is up to something. - He's up to something?
I'll teach them a lesson.
