My eyes fill with tears, so I lift my head
I smile a little so they don't fall
Honey!
Baby!
Honey, what's going on?
I used to love you.
You haven't called me that in ten years.
But what do you mean by you used to love me?
What about now?
You don't make any money, and you're terrible at reading the room.
You fooled around trying to run a business but ended up in debt.
Now you're old and wrinkly! Look at those wrinkles.
Let's go inside. It's cold.
It's okay.
I got to give birth to Min Ah because of you.
I'm happy with that.
You've paid your dues.
We have In Seo too. Why do you keep leaving him out?
Sure. Min Ah and In Seo. They're twins. They're like a set.
But In Seo will get married and only care about his wife.
Min Ah...
will stay with me forever.
Right, Min Ah?
My daughter.
What about me? Aren't you going to be with me forever?
Hey, wait up.
- My baby. - Honey.
- She's sleeping! - My baby.
Seriously.
Mom?
My baby.
My daughter, who's going to Seoul National University.
That's enough. Come to bed.
Have you been drinking, Mom?
I had a few.
It's my first time drinking this much in 500 years!
When I told people my daughter got into Seoul National University,
they said I should treat them!
So I did.
How come paying for something out of my own wallet feels so great?
The one who was wearing designer clothes...
and went on a trip with her mother...
and even who showed off that her restaurant opened another branch...
all fell silent at my announcement!
They all said, "That's great." "Congratulations." "That's amazing."
Thank you, Min Ah.
You worked so hard.
You worked really, really hard.
I never gave you anything.
I never even got you a tutor.
How did you do it?
How hard...
did you have to work on your own?
Are you really that happy that I got into Seoul National University?
Of course, I am! I'm overjoyed!
What do I have?
I don't have relatives nor a husband who earns money.
The creditors would always call. I had to throw away my pride.
I thought my life would end while working until I die.
But you're the trophy of my life.
You've made my life all worth it.
You got into the best college, so you're going to get the best job.
While getting praised that you're the best at work,
you should live an exciting and remarkable life.
I'm going to do all the hard and dirty work.
Don't worry about anything, okay?
Okay.
My daughter.
I'm so proud of you.
Geez.
There we go.
(Regular checkup findings)
(Be My Dream Family)
Have some cheonggukjang.
- Mom made sure I share with you. - Right.
It's delicious.
No,
it's okay. You really don't have to.
We already had breakfast. See?
Just try it.
- Mom made this herself. It's... - No!
I said it's all right.
She's not even here. You don't need to keep doing this.
Goodbye.
- Wait... - Okay.
Give it to me. I like it.
Okay.
Thank you.
"This"?
What's "this"?
You don't need to embarrass people like that.
Was she like this every time Mom brought them food?
You threw up all night. Are you still throwing up?
- Is it really a hangover? - It hurts.
Are you...
You're acting like when you had Min Ah and In Seo.
What did we do?
Am I going to get pregnant through the spirit?
Go away.
I guess you're right.
- Why did you leave this open? - Sorry.
- It does smell like proper cheonggukjang. - Geez.
- It's hot. - It's making me nauseous.
Get it out of here!
We're not starving.
Why do they keep bringing us food?
I thought Mrs. Kang was nosy, but her daughters are the same!
All right? We need to move.
When they come back from their honeymoon, things are only going to get worse!
You can't live here and see your dad every day.
I can't.
I can't just get a job all of a sudden at my age.
- Hello. - Hello.
- What's all this? Is someone moving in?
The CEO of my company is moving to the second floor.
Hello. I saw you at Mrs. Kang's wedding.
I'm Choi Ji Wan. It's nice to meet you.
Oh, you're moving in upstairs.
It was nice that it was empty.
If you don't have kids, you won't make much noise.
Is there anything you need from us?
We're a bit sensitive to noise.
My son is living with me, but I'll make sure he doesn't run around.
They're going to be reasonable.
They haven't even moved in yet.
But kids run around now and then.
We should all try to understand each other.
Of course.
- Hello. - Hello.
Reasonable?
Is it reasonable to have your boss move into your building?
Why do they want to flock together like that?
"But kids run around now and then."
What is she? His mother?
His dad said he'd be careful. Why is she butting in?
I just don't like them at all.
Ga Eun, you can go to work.
You too, Geu Roo.
I need to go to Mr. Seo's studio later because we have a meeting.
Ga Eun, go to work.
I'll get going, then.
I'm sorry I couldn't stay.
No, I should be thanking you.
I'll treat you to dinner. See you at the office.
Okay.
See you later, Sol, Da Bal.
Okay.
I need to take Sol to class and go to work as well.
Are you getting us dinner too?
Of course.
Thank you.
Sure. I like meat.
Then we'll have meat.
Yes!
Good luck.
- See you later, Geu Roo. - Bye.
- Let's go. - Okay.
That's the CEO's son, Yi Jae.
Should we say hello?
Maybe later. We'll see.
Don't be a snob.
Who do you take after?
It's not you, so it must be Dad.
Hurry up. I'm going to be late.
All right.
Clean everything carefully. Get all the nooks and crannies.
Why are you doing that here? You can take it over there.
For goodness' sake.
Why are you late again?
Get to work.
I'm sorry.
Why are we cleaning, though?
We cleaned everything before we left yesterday.
The physiatrist is coming to look at our hospital today.
They could have called in advance.
I see.
But they're not coming to see how clean the place is.
We always keep our equipment clean.
We're doing fine.
Doctor In, see me in my office.
He must have fought with his wife.
Tell him to stop nitpicking us!
Hang in there.
Doctor In, I thought better of you.
You're singing another tune after you got promoted.
Now that you're the director and have a permanent position,
and you won't get sacked overnight, are you going against me?
What?
I told you that everything was clean because we already cleaned it.
You haven't signed the papers yet.
- What are you saying? - You're not officially a director yet.
The physiatrist said he'd come and pick the director himself.
Chief, that's not what you said to me.
You said we should show them we're ready.
I thought so.
But when the physiatrist gets here,
they're going to work more closely with the physiotherapy ward.
He had a point.
Besides, he hasn't signed the papers yet, either.
He thoroughly inspected how much he will earn.
I think he almost made his mind up,
but he wants to see how things work around here.
He wants to make sure that he can work with the people here.
What should we do?
We should stay alert.
We need to clean the place up...
and show them we're taking good care of this hospital.
Get it?
I'm not making you clean, for my sake.
So you're saying...
he needs to make his decision for the center to be established,
and I need to suck up to him to become the director.
Is that it?
That's right.
Okay, doctors!
Let's dress this place up.
It's our hospital, not someone else's.
Let's put some care into it.
Let's put out some flowers.
Dad. Food!
You always come after we've cleaned up.
You can feed yourself.
You fool.
I'm your older sister!
- Seriously? - Set the table for me.
I'm going to the study room.
Whatever. I'm going out too.
Good idea. You should leave the house sometimes.
That's the only time you'll wash your hair.
You're disgusting.
I'm going to kill you.
Do you want me to tell Mom you're going to play games instead of getting tutored?
That's not true! I'm really going to the study room!
Make me the thing that you made last time.
You made kimchi fried rice with something in it.
The one where I put in some curry powder and fried it with butter?
- You said it was too greasy. - I crave it all of a sudden.
Hey, you should try cooking.
You're bad at studying anyway.
It's better to start earning money.
It's not like anyone can become a cook.
I just cook my own meals at home.
I guess you're right.
I saw shows that advise restaurant owners.
You have to cook really hard.
You're so not cut out for it.
You have no patience or talent.
Hey, you should cook it yourself.
I'll just ask Dad to do it.
Dad!
Here.
You've got so much stuff.
The employee I'm going to live with sent over his stuff first.
Thank you.
You don't have to thank me. Of course, I'll help you. We're neighbors now.
But you're living with your employee?
Did your wife approve of that?
Oh, I only have my son. We're a family of two.
I see.
But you look really young.
And you're a CEO already. That's incredible.
No, regardless of the age, in the publishing industry,
many people establish their own company when they get enough experience.
I see.
Then, by any chance, are you hiring any new staff?
I haven't worked in that field before,
but I'm diligent and hardworking.
I worked in logistics for about a decade.
I owned a business too.
Although it went bankrupt, I did many things.
I'm well aware of the difficulties of a CEO.
I see.
But I have no plan of recruiting anyone for a while.
I'm sorry.
But you will hire someone one day, won't you?
Would you like to have a look at my resume first?
Then I'll send it over to your email on your name card.
See you around.
Okay. Thank you.
Right. I should plug away.
It's not easy to meet the CEO in person.
You must be his son.
Hi.
He's Yi Jae.
Thank you for helping.
It was nothing. Of course, I should help out.
But you must be really close to him...
to know his son's personality when you're his employee.
We went to the same university as well, so we've known each other for a long time.
Bye.
Let's go inside.
Bye.
What?
Then should I convince Geu Roo first?
So are they all the new book marketer's stuff?
Why did he send so much when he'll only be here for a few months?
I don't know.
Oh, you should go to your meeting.
I'll go to work there when Yi Jae's sitter and the furniture come.
Okay.
I better head off now.
He's someone decent this time, right?
He's not someone like Mr. Lee, is he?
No. I told you.
I've verified his competency and character while working with him in the past.
He's a good friend of mine too.
He'll be here in a few days,
so you could see him before he officially starts working.
All right. If you guarantee it, I'm sure he's good.
Yi Jae, it was nice meeting you. I'll see you around, all right?
Yi Jae.
You should put your phone down and talk to her.
It's fine. I remember Yi Jae, but he's unfamiliar with me.
Yi Jae, I hope we get along gradually. Ms...
No, just call me "Aunty Geu Roo."
I'll get going. Bye.
- See you. - Okay.
- Thank you. Bye. - Bye.
Hello.
- Hello. - Good morning.
I guess it's great to be well-connected with the CEO.
She can freely come and go as she pleases to work.
Ms. Min, are you not done yet?
Why are there so many freeloaders here?
How can we manage this company this way?
I've been to a meeting with Mr. Seo.
As we can't confirm which cover art we're going to do,
he was worried that it would delay the publishing.
I'm here after promising him...
that I'll get it confirmed with the Design Team.
Well, Mr. Lee, you would need to cooperate for the company to be well-managed.
Are you ready to discuss what the Editing Team suggested to you?
It's under review.
She should do as I told her. Why is she keep bothering me to edit it?
Ms. Min, aren't you going to bring me the files?
Never mind. Just get me a coffee first.
All right.
How frustrating.
Geez! That condescending man!
It's all right. I was going to have a cup of coffee too.
Don't get angry, will you?
I'm holding myself back as I don't want to sound like I'm siding with you,
but he should watch out as I have a rod in pickle for him.
Mr. Lee is in so much trouble now. You're so scary when you're angry.
You softie. How can you smile about this?
Mr. Jung Ui Yeon's cover art isn't ready either, right?
I can't possibly know since he doesn't tell me how it's going.
Not yet. He wants another one than the one we agreed on.
I think he's trying to convince him.
I asked around, and I heard he's a tough cookie.
I hope Mr. Lee doesn’t rile him up and turn things sour.
He wouldn't.
Didn't Mr. Geum's youngest son, Sang Min, used to be his assistant?
You should ask him.
He might know how to persuade him.
Well, I guess you're right.
I'll talk to him.
Let's hang in there.
We won't have to see him when we get off work.
- Go. - Okay.
Hello, sir. It's Ga Eun.
Do you have a minute?
Yes, I do. What's up?
I was wondering how you were doing.
I heard our families were going to meet...
when Grandma and Grandpa come back from their honeymoon.
You're coming, aren't you?
I'm not sure.
I'm pretty busy preparing for my solo show.
I don't know if I'll make it.
If I can, I will.
Is that why you called?
Well, also,
it's about Mr. Jung.
What? What about him?
It's nothing. He just popped into my mind.
Anyway, I hope everything goes all right with the exhibition.
If you need any help, don't hesitate to call me.
I don't mind, even if it's running errands for you.
All right. Thanks.
- Mr. Geum Sang Min. - Me?
Hey, I have to go. I'm hanging up.
Okay. See you soon.
Good luck!
Thanks.
Take a seat.
You've been Mr. Jung's assistant for a long time.
Yes, I have.
It seems you'll be holding an exhibition soon.
Is there a reason that you quit at a critical time like this?
We had disagreements about work, so I left.
What excellent opinion did you have about work when you were an assistant?
I'll be frank with you.
I heard what happened.
I'm sure the rumors have spread about you arguing with an artist.
Jung Gallery has sacked you, haven't they?
Also, you're older than me.
Our work is thoroughly divided and given to young assistants here.
I could say it's European style.
I'm concerned that you might not be able to adapt here...
with just your age and experience.
If you cause trouble...
I can do this.
I'm going to work hard, regardless of my age and experience.
All right.
I'll discuss it with my assistants and get back to you.
If you're not going to pay rent by this month, you'd need to move out.
Don't forget to take your credit card bills.
You're really mean.
I've told everybody that I'm finally going to be in a drama.
I'm making my comeback in 20 years.
How could you edit that one scene out?
Well, the scene kind of stood out from the rest of the scenes.
Why? I gave you various versions of it!
I yelled, cried, and laughed.
You really didn't have anything you could use from those?
Well, I know you worked hard.
I'm sorry.
I'm so disappointed.
Do you know how grateful I was...
because you didn't mind Sang Gu...
and cast me because of my capabilities?
I'll cast you next time.
It's a small role,
so I'll get you a part that's more suitable for you.
Right?
Well, I am an actress who was a protagonist in a miniseries.
It's a waste for you to use me for a minor role.
Then which genre will it be next time?
Melodrama? Action? Comedy?
- Which one? - Min Hee!
- Oh, my. - I'll keep in touch.
Hey!
Why would you get her hopes up!
Why would you yell at my director?
"My director"?
When did he become your director?
Are you jealous of him amidst all this?
I filmed a drama with him, so he's my director.
Jealous?
Goodness me.
Do you know people are talking about how bad of an actress you are?
What?
Did he say I'm a bad actress? Did Director Mang say that?
Yes.
You had one line.
You swore and cried back and forth and made a fool of yourself.
- Why that little... - Hey.
Do you want to be humiliated more?
Have you faced the facts now?
Jung Wook didn't cast you because he wanted to.
He did it to screw me over.
Let go! I'm not going to give up so quickly!
He's been on a real power trip, calling me one minute and firing me the next.
He praised me when I was filming it.
This is all because actors lack power!
I should at least have an agency.
I'm going to find myself an agency.
I'm going to make a deal with a big agency!
You should really get a grip.
Why would big names want you?
You need to snap out of it.
You're so pathetic.
Oh, my. It's Mother.
Where do you think you're going? Come here.
Hello, Mother.
You called me when we were together.
That's good.
Sang Gu, how have you been?
You should treat him like a son. You're his mother-in-law now.
Then shall I?
Are you enjoying your honeymoon?
I love it. The weather's great too.
Jong Hwa.
Come on.
This side.
- It's Father. - It's me.
- Father. - See you when I get back.
What?
What was that?
Oh, right. I'm going to drop by a duty-free shop.
I was wondering what to get you.
What do you need?
You don't have to.
I have cosmetics that I use.
I'll text you the brand name and the list of items.
Mother, have a lovely and fun trip.
Sang Gu misses you too.
If you come back, we'll make sure we visit.
Okay. Thank you.
See you when I get back. I love you.
Okay. Bye.
How could you call her "Mother"?
You don't even go and see my birth mother at the cemetery. You're so brazen-faced.
Of course, she's Mother.
I can't call her "missus."
Hey, why did you tell her we'll visit?
It's growing well.
Do you still get cramps?
Yes, sometimes.
It gets a bit tense.
As your baby grows, your uterus becomes larger.
It's a natural stage at this period.
Don't worry, and take it easy.
Okay.
Since you're 20 years old and grown up,
you may think you can take care of yourself.
But you need support.
If you can't tell your family,
you take a look at this.
Mrs. Lee Mi Jin. You may go inside.
Ms. Geum Min Ah.
Please take a seat and wait.
