(Episode 83)
Oh! You're back, Doo Ho.
My gosh. How come you look so upset?
It's nothing.
Gosh, sit down first.
My goodness. You look like you're about to faint.
What's wrong?
Kyu Sun, can I ask you something?
Yes, what is it?
Ask away.
It's about Ms. Ok.
Was Chairman Hwang always that mean to her while growing up?
Oh, no. I guess he picked on her again.
Did you see it while delivering the bread?
Yes.
Chairman Hwang was against adopting Mi Rae from the get-go.
He never approved of her in the first place,
so no wonder he's still not fond of her.
But why? Why isn't he fond of her?
Well, how should I put this?
I think he believes that Chan Ran...
couldn't remarry...
and ended up wasting her prime years because she adopted and raised Mi Rae.
That's why he won't open up to her.
Whenever anything happens, he harshly scolds her.
But...
he said Ms. Ok ruined her mother's future.
- My goodness. He even said that? - Yes.
What's wrong with Chairman Hwang?
It's all over now. Why did he have to bring it up again...
and lash out at her?
The thing is, he was initially hoping...
that Chan Ran would marry my brother.
Your brother and Ms. Ok's mother?
Yes. It was almost a done deal,
but Ju Hyuk and Mi Rae suddenly started dating,
so they decided not to get married.
I bet that's why Mi Rae has totally fallen out of favor with Chairman Hwang.
I see.
And that's why Ju Hyuk and Mi Rae shouldn't break up.
Anyway, Doo Ho.
Why are you so curious about Mi Rae today?
Oh, it's nothing.
I should go to the kitchen and tidy up.
What?
But...
My gosh.
It's so odd.
(Horang Art Academy)
Ms. Ok.
I'm sorry to hear that you and your boyfriend are having problems.
But you caused such a commotion at the academy,
and it makes me very uncomfortable.
If the students' parents hear about it,
what will happen to the reputation of the academy?
I'm sorry. I'll make sure it won't happen again.
One more thing, Ms. Ok.
From now on, please also watch your conduct.
Pardon me? My conduct?
That's right. Your conduct.
I haven't given up on Kang San yet.
It doesn't make me happy to see Kang San getting roped...
into another woman's problems.
In short, it makes me angry.
I'll be careful.
All right. Then I'll believe that I got my message across.
I'm leaving for the day.
Yes, Auntie Kyu Sun.
To the bakery?
I can't really step out now.
Okay, Auntie Kyu Sun. Got it.
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Auntie Kyu Sun, I'm here.
Ju Hyuk, what are you doing here?
I asked my aunt to call you here.
I need to talk to you.
Yes, Mi Rae. I'll leave you two to talk.
You two should talk things out, okay?
Come here.
(Sun Bakery)
Shall we sit down?
Are you going to tell me more lies?
Mi Rae.
I admit...
that I started dating you because I wanted to take revenge on my father.
But I truly regretted it once I fell in love with you.
I met with President Dong, Ju Hyuk.
What? You met my father?
Yes.
He told me how deeply hurt you were emotionally.
So I truly hope...
that you two can patch things up and let go of your hard feelings.
That means you'll take me back, right?
No. It's already over between us.
I do not want to get back together with you.
Mi Rae.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Oh. Ms. Dong, what are you doing here?
Is the bakery closed today?
No, there's something much more important.
What? It's your business.
What could be much more important than your business?
I'm helping my nephew...
reconcile with my future niece-in-law.
I stepped out for a moment...
so they could talk things out.
I see. Jan Di's art teacher, right?
Yes.
Oh, I guess Ms. Ok...
is still dating your nephew.
I heard through the grapevine...
that he had such a bad temper.
What did you say?
Oh, nothing.
Anyway, Ms. Dong. This isn't a cafe.
You can't just come in and sit there for free,
don't you think?
What, then? Will you make me pay?
What? No, that's not what she meant.
But we'd appreciate it if you bought a few things.
Listen carefully.
I can't give up on you, Mi Rae!
Ju Hyuk! Don't be like this, please.
I love you!
You had another woman.
How could you say such a thing?
My gosh. It sounds like your nephew is very competent.
He studied in the US...
and was the head of an overseas branch office.
Gosh, don't get me started.
Everyone knows that he is the best employee at Hwang Dong Food.
- I see. - Mom, who cares if he's competent?
- He has such a nasty personality. - Hey.
My gosh, Ye Ju.
Why do you keep saying mean things about my nephew?
What's your problem?
Well, your nephew...
grabbed Kang San by the collar the other day. That's why.
That was because Jan Di's grandfather lied to me that he had never been married.
That's why my nephew got angry.
Even so, it was wrong to grab him by the collar.
My point, exactly.
My goodness. Are you two ganging up on me again?
What? No, we're not.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
I'm back.
- Hey, you. - Kang San, you're back.
Oh, Ms. Dong. What are you doing here?
Hello, Mr. Geum. Me?
Mi Rae and Ju Hyuk are at the bakery. I left them alone for a moment...
so that they could make up.
Sorry? You left them alone?
Why? How come you look so worried?
Oh, it's nothing.
What is it, Kang San?
Is there something you know?
Tell us, Kang San. How come you look so serious?
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Fine, I admit it.
However, you're the only one I truly love, Mi Rae.
I'm not sure about that.
What if my family didn't own Hwang Dong Food?
If I were from an ordinary family,
you would've flat-out ignored me.
Don't say that.
You are Ok Mi Rae, the granddaughter of Hwang Dong Food's chairman.
And that's why you should think about your mother, who adopted you.
If our engagement falls through,
your mother will be so upset, you know?
If my mom finds out the reason I decided not to marry you,
she'll be even more shocked.
That's why I can't even bring myself to tell her the truth about you.
Fine. If you decided to bury it like that,
there's no reason we can't get married. Am I wrong?
Ju Hyuk.
I'm saying this for your sake.
If you keep this up, Chairman Hwang might disown you.
What did you say?
I have to go.
I'm not done talking yet.
- Let go. - I can't let you go like this!
Let go of her hand at once.
This is none of your business. Go back inside and make bread.
Mr. Kim!
What are you doing?
Doo Ho! Calm down.
Let go, okay? Doo Ho.
You, again?
Mr. Dong, that's enough. Please leave.
Yes, Ju Hyuk. You need to leave.
Even the baker is stepping in today?
Why is everyone standing around?
My gosh! Ju Hyuk, what happened to your clothes?
Did someone grab you by the collar or something?
Wait, Ju Hyuk!
Hey!
I'm sorry.
Your nephew...
was disrespectful to Ms. Ok,
so I made the mistake of getting involved.
Ju Hyuk was disrespectful to Mi Rae?
Mi Rae, is it really true?
My gosh. I guess it's true.
Mi Rae, what is happening between you two?
The Ju Hyuk I know would never treat anyone like that.
Auntie Kyu Sun.
I'm sorry, but I should get going.
Wait, Auntie Kyu Sun.
What is it, Mr. Geum?
You shouldn't leave now.
He's right. If you run into Ju Hyuk outside,
you two could get into another fight.
Stay for a cup of tea and leave in a bit.
Oh, okay.
Gosh, I'm so upset.
What is going on?
Mr. Geum.
I'm sorry.
Because of my boyfriend,
both you and Mr. Kim...
were stuck in such an awkward situation.
I'm really sorry.
I'm sure Doo Ho stepped in...
because he was also worried about you.
Yes, I know.
But to tell you the truth,
I felt weird at that moment.
How so?
If I had a dad,
he would've stepped in to help me...
just like Mr. Kim did.
That thought suddenly hit me at that moment.
Right, I'm sure he would have.
Oh, right. I heard Mr. Kim had a daughter too.
That's right. But from what I've heard, they've been estranged for about 20 years.
Did you say 20 years?
Yes.
I haven't seen my father for about 20 years too.
But it's been so long...
that I don't remember what my dad looked like at all.
Even if we run into each other on the streets,
we would not be able...
to recognize each other.
Ms. Ok, but I must say...
you still kind of look like the little girl you were back then.
Sorry?
When I was little?
Yes, I saw your childhood pictures.
Ms. Hwang showed me.
Oh, really?
I was very ugly when I was little.
No, you were so cute and lovely.
Jan Di must've been so adorable...
when she was little.
Yes, Jan Di was really adorable.
She really was the apple of my eye.
But you see,
when Ms. Hwang was showing me the pictures of you,
she looked just like me back then.
She couldn't stop bragging about you.
My mom can be silly like that.
She really couldn't stop bragging.
This morning,
I was out of line when I said you weren't of my blood.
Don't take it to heart.
Pardon me?
I'm sorry.
It's okay, Grandpa.
Mr. Geum persuaded your grandfather to apologize to you, Mi Rae.
If I didn't do this, he'd nag me all day.
Mom, Mr. Geum persuaded Grandpa?
Yes.
He persuaded him and gave him candid advice.
That's why your grandpa apologized to you.
I want to ask you something again.
Are you sure you decided to break up with Ju Hyuk...
just because you had a change of heart?
Sorry?
Is there another reason?
I just don't like him anymore.
You shouldn't be fickle about something like this.
If it's just because of a lovers' quarrel,
for the family's sake,
reconsider marrying Ju Hyuk in a good light.
You can go upstairs, Mi Rae.
I need to talk to your grandpa about something else.
Okay, Mom.
Good night.
Good night. Get some rest, Mi Rae.
Okay, Grandpa.
Father.
As for Mi Rae's marriage, don't push her so much.
Let's give her some time until she makes up her mind.
Nothing will get done if we just wait and see.
Your aunt told me...
that there was a commotion at the bakery.
Nothing will go your way if you let your emotions get the best of you.
Mi Rae told me she met with you,
so I got my hopes up...
only to realize that you haven't changed one bit.
What do you mean?
To you,
I'm nothing but a tool for you to make Hwang Dong Food all yours.
I'm doing it for your sake.
For my sake, you say?
I'm just a chess piece to you, nothing more or less than that.
I'm devastated that I might lose Mi Rae,
but you can't even see it. Am I wrong?
Do you truly love Mi Rae?
Do you really love her?
Yes, I do.
Good morning, Mr. Geum!
Hey, where's Jan Di?
She's in charge of cleaning this week, so she left early.
Mr. Geum, why did you come alone?
I told you to bring Mr. Kim along.
He said he wasn't hungry.
But I have to say, he's not himself these days.
Maybe he's worried about something.
He was tossing and turning all night and barely got any sleep.
Really? Maybe some loan sharks are threatening him or something.
Come on! I'd believe you if you said he was threatening someone.
He won't put up with that.
He looks like he used to be quite a fighter.
Right. He can lift heavy weights effortlessly.
He is very strong indeed.
But no way.
He won't say a thing whenever he's asked about his past.
He's very suspicious.
He's just a quiet person.
The soup will get cold. Let's eat.
Yes. Mom, let's eat.
All right.
And Mr. Geum.
If you need a coupon, just tell me anytime.
Please don't go through my stuff when I'm not home.
Goodness. Forget it.
You're so petty. I swear, I won't touch your coupons again.
(Horang Art Academy)
Mr. Kim, is that you?
Yes. Hello, Ms. Ok.
What brings you here?
I had to take care of something in the area, so I was just passing by.
Bye.
Wait.
What happened yesterday...
must've put you in an awkward position with Auntie Kyu Sun.
No, don't worry about it.
By any chance,
did your boyfriend come back here to talk to you again?
Pardon me?
Well, I was just...
I understand that it's not my place to step in,
but everyone in your family including your grandfather...
seemed very concerned about your decision not to marry your boyfriend.
Right, yes.
Why don't you just tell your family the truth about your boyfriend?
You don't have to bear the burden alone.
Thank you for your advice,
but if my mom finds out,
she'll be so heartbroken.
Right, I see.
I can't break my mom's heart...
just to get it off my chest.
Right, I understand.
Oh, you must be busy. I should let you go.
- I'll see you around. - See you.
(Hwang Dong Food)
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
For my sake, you say?
I'm just a chess piece to you, nothing more or less than that.
I'm devastated that I might lose Mi Rae,
but you can't even see it.
Am I wrong?
Yes, sir.
Come to your place...
with Ju Hyuk after work?
Yes, sir.
Doo Ho.
You stepped out without a word in the morning. Where did you have to go?
Oh, I just stepped out to get some air.
To get some air? Are you sure you're not cheating on her?
Sun Dal! What do you take him for?
Kyu Sun.
Women might think that quiet men like Mr. Kim...
are dependable and trustworthy, but men like him are very dangerous.
You never know what's inside.
Red bean paste? Custard cream? Or soybean paste?
You just never know.
See? He can't even deny it.
Doo Ho. For the past few days,
I've been thinking that you were acting strange.
You're not hiding something from me, are you?
See? I told you.
Hello!
Hello.
Isn't it your first time visiting my bakery?
That's right. I had the bread Jun Pyo's mother gave out,
and she said it was from here.
My gosh! Jun Pyo's mother told you about us.
Yes.
Oh, he must be the baker.
That's right. You must already know since you've tasted our bread,
but he's such a talented baker.
Excuse me.
Yes.
Don't you remember me?
You're Mr. Kim Doo Ho, aren't you?
Well... I'm sorry. I don't remember you.
I worked as a corrections officer in the past.
Oh, I see.
I'm glad.
It seems like you've managed to establish yourself as a baker.
Yes.
Doo Ho, is he someone you know?
What? "Corrections officer?"
Mr. Kim.
You did time in jail?
What? He's an ex-con?
He seemed rough around the edges,
so I knew there was something.
Hey, Woo Jin's mom. I'll call you back.
Hold on. My gosh, this is huge!
Gosh, my legs are wobbly.
Mother, Grandfather! This is urgent!
Soo Ji, couldn't you have knocked?
I'm sorry. The thing is...
Gosh, my heart is still racing.
Hey, what is the matter?
Grandfather, the baker...
at Kyu Sun's bakery...
is an ex-con.
- An ex-con? - That's right!
Soo Ji. What are you talking about, all of a sudden?
Woo Jin's husband worked in a prison as part of his military service.
Turns out, that baker did time there.
That's where he picked up his baking skills.
But he's been volunteering at the children's home for many years,
and I thought he looked like a total gentleman.
Come on. I bet he started volunteering there...
to conceal his dark past.
Oh, Mr. Geum. You must know him well.
Did you know about this?
No, this is my first time hearing about it.
My gosh. I wonder if Kyu Sun knows.
Goodness. She should've vetted him before she hired him.
I can't believe this.
I can't believe you completely hid your past...
when we live together, Mr. Kim.
Compared to this, me lying that I had never been married...
was nothing.
Let's be honest. I don't know how many strikes you have on your record,
but you've been deceiving Kyu Sun all this time.
My gosh! That's enough. I knew everything.
What? You knew?
You decided to date him when you knew about his dark past?
That's right. So stop causing such a fuss and leave.
My goodness. This is extremely worrisome.
They say love makes you blind,
but you really have gone totally blind.
Sunny, you've got the looks and money.
You have everything. Why would you settle for less?
Mind your own business. Leave at once. Go, get out.
And you're strong too! My goodness.
Go.
Gosh, go away!
Doo Ho, are you all right?
I'm really sorry, Kyu Sun.
Don't be sorry.
I'm really okay, Doo Ho.
But that fool, Geum Sun Dal,
will tell Jan Di and everyone else in the family when he gets home.
What should we do?
That's right. That lady said she knew Jun Pyo's mother,
which means Mi Rae's family will find out too!
My goodness. If my brother hears about it too...
I'm worried you'd end up in a pickle, Doo Ho.
What should we do?
So? Just leave him be? But Jan Di is here too.
He's a dangerous man!
- Doo Ho! - I'll move out right away,
so don't worry.
Mom.
What I did was foolish.
But now, Mi Rae is...
How could you do this to Mi Rae?
I took this picture when I went to that room to see Grandpa.
I didn't know they looked identical.
Jan Di, you didn't show this picture to Ms. Ok, did you?
I thought it was very cool, so I sent the picture to Ms. Ok too.
Why?
