What did you say, Mother?
You met Mi Rae?
Is that true, Mom?
Yes. I explained to Ms. Ok so that she could understand.
Mother, why did you do that without even discussing it with me?
It's because I couldn't get through to you.
Mr. Ok seemed to understand what I said.
So consider yourself informed.
Mother. Wait, please.
Oh, no. Kang San, it looks like Mom caused a commotion.
What if Ms. Ok gives up on you?
My goodness. Why would you come here?
What?
What's going on? Who is out there?
I mean...
You're not welcome here. Why did you come to our house?
- Hello. - My gosh.
Oh, my. Ms. Ok.
Oh, you're here, Ms. Ok.
- Hello, Mr. Eun. Hi, Jan Di. - Hello.
Mi Rae.
What brings you here?
I am here because I have something to say...
to Jan Di's grandmother and the others in your family.
What...
Mi Rae.
Well... Ms. Ok.
To what do we owe the pleasure of having you at our humble home?
But what if Chairman Hwang finds out?
Gosh. Sang Soo, why would you say our home is "humble?"
What's wrong with our home?
Listen, Ye Ju. Compared to Chairman Hwang's house,
this is like a hut or an ant tunnel.
"An ant tunnel?"
Ms. Ok.
I thought I made myself clear earlier. Why are you doing this?
After talking to you,
I thought long and hard about what you said.
But I came to the conclusion that I couldn't give up on Kang San.
Ask anyone on the street...
if they think the two of you can be together.
I mean, Kang San is way out of your league.
You're wrong. Kang San is too good for me.
He's the one who gave me strength to go on whenever I was going through a hard time.
He also helped me reconcile with my father.
I owe him so much.
I don't want to let him go.
You see, I... Well... Right.
I can totally see how much you care about Kang San.
But still...
You need to get a grip on reality.
Seeing that you came all the way here to see us,
I'm sure you're serious about him...
and think of marrying him eventually.
But how is a young lady like you going to...
raise a teenage kid who is not even your child?
I'm mentally prepared for that, Ms. Ma.
Because I was adopted as a child,
I know better than anyone else that it's not easy to do.
But I didn't decide to be with Kang San without considering all this.
I'll do my best to be a good mother to Jan Di too, so please give me a chance.
Mother, you know that she and Jan Di have been getting along well.
I'll make an effort and help her.
It's not something you two can change through an effort.
Ms. Ok's family will treat Jan Di like a nuisance for sure.
Ms. Ok, tell me.
Can you guarantee that Jan Di won't be hurt emotionally by your family?
Mi Rae.
Don't do that again without discussing it with me.
Did my visit make you very uncomfortable?
No, that's not what I mean.
Watching you trying so hard to convince my mother-in-law...
who's not even my mother...
made me feel so bad.
I know that Ms. Ma is like your own mother.
To be honest, I was very nervous,
but I was glad I had a chance to tell your family how I feel for you.
I feel like...
I can do anything with you by my side.
Let me be the one to ask for your family's approval.
Do not carry the burden all by yourself.
All right. Then let's discuss it and make a decision together.
Oh, right. I was able to muster up the courage thanks to Jan Di.
You owe it to Jan Di? How come?
She told me never to give up...
and save our relationship. She said she was rooting for us with all her heart.
Oh, that kid.
Mi Rae is staying out so late.
I know, right? She comes home late quite often lately.
Mother, I think Mi Rae is in a relationship.
She's in a relationship? With whom?
I think it's...
Mr. Geum.
What? Mr. Geum?
Come on. That's nonsense.
Mr. Geum and Mi Rae seem to get along well.
But there's no way they're dating.
Mother, I sensed some romantic tension between the two of them many times.
That's not all. I saw Mr. Geum's father in front of our house earlier today.
Why did he come here?
Well... He looked like he was spying on our house.
Don't be ridiculous.
He must've stopped by to see his son.
That's not the case, Mother.
He talked as if something were going on...
between his son and Mi Rae, which was suspicious too.
Mom, actually,
I've seen Mi Rae with Mr. Geum outside of our house.
I'm home.
Hey, Mi Rae, come and sit here.
What is it, Jae Hyun?
Where have you been and what have you been doing until now?
Have you been...
with Mr. Geum until now?
What?
Your brother is worried because you seem too close to Mr. Geum.
You don't meet him outside, do you?
My goodness. Mi Rae, why can't you answer Mother?
Is something going on between you two?
Answer the question, Mi Rae.
Is there something going on between you and Mr. Geum?
Jae Hyun, the thing is...
Mr. Geum and I...
What are you guys talking about?
Why are you all here together and what's all the fuss about?
The thing is, Grandpa...
It seems like there's something going on between Mi Rae and Mr. Geum.
Well, you can say no more.
Mi Rae, why would you even bother to answer Jae Hyun's questions...
when he's just talking nonsense?
Pardon?
Grandpa, it's not total nonsense.
Soo Ji thinks she has something with him, and it also seems to me...
that the two of them are too close.
Jae Hyun is right, Grandfather.
Enough.
Mi Rae would never go out with someone who works for our family...
while knowing it would be a disgrace to our family.
Stop grilling her since there's no way it's true.
Besides,
she must know how much her mother loves her.
She would never do something like that.
Am I right, Mi Rae?
Well... Yes, Grandpa.
How does it feel, Mom? It feels good, right?
How nice.
My youngest daughter has magical hands.
- That feels great. - Of course.
- Oh, great. - Mother!
- What? - Mother, we have a problem.
Please stop Kang San.
Hey, Sang Soo, what's the matter?
- It's Kang San... - What?
- Oh, my.
Well... Mother.
I have something to tell you.
Look at you, Kang San. Why are you all dressed up?
You look so handsome in that suit.
Kang San, what's the occasion? Is today a special day?
Mother, today,
I'm going to tell Mi Rae's family about us.
Kang San, have you lost your mind?
It would be disrespectful to her family...
if we keep dating without letting them know.
And I don't want to let Mi Rae...
carry the burden all by herself anymore.
I'll also tell them I'll quit my job as the chairman's caregiver.
Kang San.
Mother.
I'll find another job, so please give me some time.
All right. Then go ahead and do as you want.
Mother, how could you approve of him doing that?
Goodness, you. Don't you know what Kang San is like?
He must've thought hard before deciding.
What's the point of stopping him?
I hope it'll go well.
Me too, Kang San. Good luck.
Thank you, Mother.
- Hi, Soo Ji. - Mi Rae.
You look tired. I guess you didn't get a good night's sleep.
Are you worried about something?
No, I'm not. I'm off to work.
Wait, Mi Rae.
Yes?
Behave yourself properly.
What do you mean by that?
We let it slide last night because of Grandfather,
but your brother and I still think you have something with Mr. Geum.
Especially Jae Hyun is determined to get to the bottom of it.
So be mindful.
I'm here.
- You're here. - Hello.
Speak of the devil.
Look at you, Mr. Geum.
Why are you dressed formally?
Oh, maybe the two of you will go on a date after work.
- Soo Ji. - I have an important thing to do.
An important thing to do? What is it?
Well... It's...
Actually...
Why is the director of Jun Pyo's academy calling first thing in the morning?
Yes, Director? Please go ahead. Yes.
Mi Rae.
Have your family members figured out about us already?
My brother and mom asked me what was going on between us,
so I was going to tell them the truth, but I couldn't.
I'm sorry. I was confident when I said I could tell them.
Don't be sorry.
It must've been very hard for you to deal with all that by yourself.
I'll deal with the rest.
So don't worry about anything and go to work.
By the way, Kang San, did you...
put on a suit to tell my family about us?
Yes. I should tell them.
It's what I should do to be with you.
But it's not the right time.
Let's wait just a little longer and tell them together.
If we keep putting it off, and they find out about us,
they would be even angrier.
After you leave,
I'll tell your mother and grandfather.
I'm going to...
quit working here too.
But I don't want you to quit your job because of me.
I already told my family, so don't worry about it.
You might be late. Hurry up and get going.
My class will end early today.
Let's tell them together when I'm back from work.
Mi Rae.
It's about us, not just you.
Let's tell them together, okay?
(Sun Bakery, Hong Do's Side Dishes)
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
Mom, are you okay?
What do you mean?
You basically approved of Kang San...
dating Ms. Ok.
Aren't you upset about it?
If I said I was not upset at all, it would be a lie.
But since Kang San found a good woman for him,
I should try to be happy for him.
I'm glad you think that way.
But there's no way...
such a powerful family like hers will approve of Kang San easily.
It's obvious that he'll go through a hard time. That's what worries me.
Don't worry. We heard Ms. Ok's mother was kind and thoughtful, didn't we?
You don't know that.
Mothers can be overprotective of their children.
That's true.
Oh, I guess we're getting an order.
Thank you for calling Hong Do's Side Dishes.
Yes.
Oh, that's... Sure.
We'll deliver it right away.
Yes. Thank you.
There.
Hey, did we get an order for all of those?
What?
Yes, we did. That's right.
(Hwang Dong Food)
What do you think? Now that we put all the food on the bench,
it feels like we're on a picnic, right?
By the way, why did you bring all this food?
Oh, that. I don't like owing other people.
You owe me something?
Must I say it by myself?
Well...
When I was treated like a solicitor the other day,
you helped me. Thank you for that.
Oh, that?
But why are you avoiding my eyes?
I thought you were daring, but I guess you can also be shy.
I'm not being shy.
Just make sure to eat the food before it gets cold.
Then I'll get going now.
Wait.
Yes?
Why don't you stay...
and eat with me?
You want me to eat with you?
Isn't that why you brought an extra set of chopsticks?
No, of course not. Well...
We always provide our customers with extra chopsticks.
I see. Now please sit so that we can start eating.
My lunch break will be over soon.
Well... If you insist.
This is really good.
Impressive. You're so good at deboning a fish.
Hey.
Can I ask you something?
It's about the members of the Hwang Dong Food family.
What are they like?
Why are you asking that?
No reason. I'm just curious.
I heard the chairman's grandson worked here as a team manager.
What is he like?
Well... The chairman is quite strict.
And the team manager is rather easygoing,
but when he's angry, he loses his temper.
Oh, no. My younger brother-in-law is in trouble.
Who's in trouble?
Oh, nothing. Never mind.
Come on. Debone the rest of the grilled yellow corvina.
Your lunch break is almost over.
You went to see Auntie Hong Do?
Yes.
Ms. Ok, you are so brave.
Indeed. I never even thought of doing that.
Ms. Ok, didn't Auntie Hong Do pull your hair out?
No, she didn't do anything like that.
But she seemed to be worried about many things.
I should try harder so that she can put her worries to rest.
I can't believe Auntie Hong Do.
She just talked to Ms. Ok nicely?
I mean, she made such a scene when she tried to stop me.
Gosh. She totally discriminates against me.
Good grief.
Do you want Ms. Ok to be humiliated by her just as you were?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
Ms. Ok.
Did you tell your family about you and Kang San?
Kang San and I will tell them later today when I'm back home.
I'm sure that Kang San will stay strong and make it work.
I have faith in him. Absolutely.
Hey, we know well that Kang San is a good person.
But to the members of such a rich family like Ms. Ok's,
Kang San must seem way out of her league.
I don't think they'll approve of him.
Ho Rang.
Are you saying that Ms. Ma approved of Mi Rae?
Yes, that's what I said, Mr. Kim.
Oh, that's a relief.
But I'm worried more about how Mi Rae's family will react.
They'll probably throw a fit when they hear about them.
Chan Ran will be... I mean...
I'm worried that Mi Rae's mother will be shocked.
What's wrong with my son?
Why would she be shocked? My gosh.
Kyu Sun, I'm here.
She startled me. Hey, you're here.
Hello.
- Have you been well? - Yes.
Mi Rae became much more cheerful after she found you.
So please stay around her for a long time and watch over her.
You should see her meet a good man and get married.
Yes. I hope so.
Oh, my. Well... I guess she's Ms. Ok's mother.
Who might you be?
Oh, right. I'm Geum Kang San's father.
We'll see each other often from now on.
I hope we get along well, my in-law.
Your in-law?
Well... He's Jan Di's grandfather.
Oh, I see. You're Mr. Geum's father.
Yes. I'll tell you my English name too.
It's Charlie. My full name is Charlie Gold.
My goodness.
By the way, what brings you here, Chan Ran?
I was in the neighborhood. I wanted to see you...
and buy some bread.
Oh, I see. Mr. Kim, move aside, will you?
Please come this way, my in-law.
Please come.
I'll help you...
choose delicious bread.
Although Kyu Sun is the owner of this bakery,
I know better than she does as a regular customer.
That's okay. I can choose bread by myself.
Please don't feel burdened.
I'm doing this because I want to do something nice for you.
First, you should try this red bean bun, the specialty of this bakery.
And a custard bun can't be missed.
Since your family owns Hwang Dong Food,
your family must have an enormous amount of money.
Including the office building and the factory site,
your family wealth must be worth a lot more than 100 million dollars. Yes?
Pardon me?
Or is it worth more than a billion dollars?
Stop it, Mr. Geum. You're making her uncomfortable.
Right. And stop calling her your in-law. That's inappropriate.
Why would she be uncomfortable?
If I were her,
I would show my bankbooks...
to everyone in my neighborhood and brag about my wealth.
Also, what's wrong with calling her my in-law?
Sun Dal!
Goodness. Fine.
By the way, your daughter seems so nice and wealthy.
I really like her.
I see. Thank you for thinking highly of her.
Your daughter... I mean, my future daughter-in-law seems...
to have a lot in common with my son.
Come to think of it, they have similar facial features too.
They both have a puppy face and smile all the time.
Aren't they quite similar to each other?
"Your future daughter-in-law?"
Why do you keep talking as if my daughter were to get married to Mr. Geum?
It makes me very uncomfortable.
But... I mean...
Kyu Sun, I'll get going now.
- But... Chan Ran, wait. - If you leave like this...
- Oh, no. - Chan Ran.
My gosh. Sun Dal, what was that?
What did I do, Kyu Sun?
Are you going to ruin everything for the kids?
What did I do so wrong?
I was just trying to say they would make a cute couple...
in a subtle way.
I've never seen Chan Ran get so upset like that.
Oh, no. When she finds out about Mi Rae and Jan Di's father,
I think she'll throw a fit.
She'll be strongly against their relationship.
You guys are worried for nothing.
I recommended the wrong kinds of bread.
(Hwang Dong Food)
I was very surprised to know about Mi Rae.
You must be very worried as her elder brother, Jae Hyun.
I don't understand what you're saying. What's wrong with Mi Rae?
Oh, no.
I guess you don't know yet.
I shouldn't have said anything, so forget what I said.
But... What is it? Please tell me, Mr. Dong.
I'm not sure if I should tell you this.
But apparently,
Mi Rae is dating Geum Kang San who works as Chairman Hwang's caregiver.
What?
Mr. Eun.
I just heard something completely outrageous.
So I need to confirm it with you.
What is it about, sir?
Someone told me that Mi Rae was dating Mr. Geum.
That's not true, right?
I'm sorry, sir.
What do you mean by that?
Are you saying that it's true?
Well, I wouldn't say it's true...
I mean, I tried to stop him so many times.
As you know, when a man and a woman are in love with each other,
their love only deepens when other people try to separate them.
Just like Romeo and Juliet.
People around them were against their relationship, and they ended up...
So what? What are you trying to say?
Mr. Ok, please calm down a little bit.
I'll do my best to convince my brother-in-law.
Mr. Eun, you see,
I'm disappointed in you once again. Do you understand?
He found out after all.
Poor me. What an unfortunate life I have.
Darn.
Mother, did something happen when you visited...
Ms. Dong's bakery earlier today?
You even forgot to buy bread for Jun Pyo.
And you've been looking upset since you came home.
Nothing happened.
Mr. Geum.
Yes, Ms. Hwang.
Well...
It's about your father.
Never mind.
You must have a lot of work to do today seeing that you're still here.
Actually, I need to talk to you later on.
About what?
If you have something to say to me, you can tell me now.
Well... The thing is...
Hey, Geum Kang San.
My gosh. Jae Hyun.
You punk. How dare you?
Mr. Ok, what are you doing right now?
Why are you doing this, Jae Hyun? What's wrong with you?
Mom, I just found out that this punk was dating Mi Rae.
What?
My gosh. I told you so. I guess my hunch was right.
Tell me, you punk. How long have you been dating Mi Rae?
Answer the question!
- Why won't you answer me? - Jae Hyun.
Jae Hyun, what are you doing now? Please let go of him.
Stay out of this!
I won't let him off. Never.
You punk, how did you seduce my sweet, naive sister? Tell me!
- Gosh, seriously. - I'm sorry.
Just saying sorry won't cut it.
Mi Rae means the world to me.
How dare you think you can be with my daughter?
All of you, stop it! Please!
Jae Hyun and Mom, that's enough.
I told him about my feelings first.
I was the one who developed feelings for him first.
My gosh. Mi Rae.
No way. Mi Rae, what did you just say?
Mi Rae, how could you?
I can't believe you fell for someone like him.
Mom.
I really love Kang San so dearly.
I don't think I can live without him.
Mi Rae.
Rather than dating a man like Geum Kang San...
You're better than him in every aspect, don't you think?
- Father. - Could it be that you...
- What? Ye Ju. - Oh, no.
What are you doing here? Don't tell me...
Mi Rae, are you out of your mind?
How could you say such a thing in front of me?
That's enough! You two...
I fully understand how your family members must be feeling.
Kang San, you're not trying to say...
