Yes, Ms. Seo. Why did you call so late?
Really?
Gosh, you scared me.
- Hey. - Mr. Geum.
I was stepping out to wait for you outside.
What? Why?
Come here for a second.
What is it? Did something good happen?
I got a call from Ms. Seo, the writer.
She said your drawings are just perfect for the story.
She read it again while looking at the drawings,
and they helped enrich the characters.
She doesn't just want to meet you.
She wants to work with you.
- Look, Ga Eun. - Mr. Geum.
At the academy...
You may not remember,
but I said I didn't finish my painting...
and stayed late once in a while.
I did that because...
I wanted to see your paintings.
After we all left,
you pulled out your painting and worked on it.
I still vividly remember...
the day I first saw your painting.
I spotted your painting...
among our cookie-cutter paintings for our art school portfolios.
It took my breath away.
It was so cool.
You smiled after being intensely focused on it for a while.
That moment, I thought, "He's happy."
"The moment he can focus on his painting gives him joy."
I could just feel it.
Right, a long time ago.
That was years ago.
You like to draw and paint.
You want to do it, right?
Yes, I do.
I want to paint.
After painting all night,
my head hurt because of the paint smell...
and my back was hunched,
but I was still happy.
Yes, I did it because it made me happy.
But the world made me quit.
I've come to terms with it.
Besides, this isn't the type of drawing I'm used to.
I won't be swayed by a call from someone who saw my doodles.
Don't make me look so pitiful.
But you can find another way.
Right, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
I'll get an office job where I can get paid monthly...
so I can plan my life too.
I want to live like everyone else does.
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 78)
What do we do now?
That machine in the electrical room must be very expensive.
I asked you last night...
if you closed the drain valve...
and if you left the water supply valve open.
You said you closed it.
The manager will see it as soon as he gets here.
He may have already gotten a call about it.
What are we going to do now?
I can't lose this job.
If they find out that I made another mistake,
I'll get in big trouble.
I'll actually get fired.
Then what are we going to do?
Do you want me to take the blame again?
I can't believe this.
Look, I can't lose this job either.
I have so many expenses.
Hello, this is the security office.
Yes, sir.
Right.
Yes, we're here.
Your grandma pooped again?
Oh, dear.
Don't cry.
Don't cry, sweetie.
I'll clean it up as soon as I get home.
Yes, let me talk to your grandma.
Honey, why do you keep pooping all over the house?
That poor little thing can't clean it up.
Get yourself together, please.
Okay.
I'll be home soon.
All right. I'll fix you a meal as soon as I get home,
so please stay put!
Darn it.
Have you lost your mind?
That thing... That mess in the electrical room!
Who is it? Who did it?
I don't even need to ask.
I'm sure it was you, the forgetful old man.
Right, Mr. Kim Man Soo?
I should've let you go a long time ago.
I knew you'd cause big trouble one day.
This time, I can't just let you off the hook.
- Pack up your stuff. - Sorry?
No, sir! Please!
Please forgive me just this once.
Just this one time.
If I get fired, my entire family will starve to death.
Who's going to take care of the hefty medical expenses?
My grandson isn't well either.
Please, sir...
Goodness, let go!
Please, just this once.
Please forgive me just this one time.
It wasn't him.
- What do you mean? - It wasn't his fault.
It was my mistake.
Please get up.
I read the manual but don't have everything memorized yet,
so I didn't know I had to close the valve. I'm sorry.
It's your fault?
Are you sure?
Yes, it was my mistake.
Mr. Kim thinks that it's his fault...
for not training me properly,
but that's not true. It was solely my fault.
But I promise you this won't happen again.
I was surprised you held out for this long.
Right, you seemed like the clumsy type,
so I never liked you anyway.
I'll keep this short. Pack up your things.
Sorry? Now?
I've never made a mistake before. This is my first mistake.
I promise you this won't happen again. Please?
I don't want to hear it. Just pack your things.
Wait, sir.
Sir.
As soon as the alarm went off,
I ran there, closed the valve, and cleaned everything.
The machine got a little wet, but the room wasn't flooded.
And I wiped the entire floor.
Forgive me just this once. Please?
Let go. The decision has already been made.
You can't fire me on the spot like this!
This is my first mistake, and I've been working very hard.
You know that.
Have you ever seen me sitting down?
Please give me one more chance!
Do you know how much that machine is?
It costs more than months worth of your salary.
Will you buy us a new machine?
I'm being lenient.
This is a big mistake.
Someone should take responsibility for it.
The one who made the mistake should.
The water tank overflowed, so the machine is broken now.
The phone's ringing off the hook with the residents complaining.
I won't ask you to pay for all the damage,
so just leave quietly. Do you understand?
Move. Get out of my way!
Sir!
My gosh.
I can't believe this.
Hello, Mother.
Gosh, I'm all recovered now. I'm totally fine.
Side dishes?
My fridge is pretty empty now, indeed.
Don't come all the way here. I should come and pick it up.
I'll see you later.
Okay.
There's nothing to eat.
I'll visit Mother later. She's giving us some side dishes.
Do you want some cereal?
Sure, I'll have some.
By the way, I met Writer Gu yesterday.
She said you're taking care of interviews for her.
What? Why did you meet Writer Gu?
Well, I ran into her while looking for agencies.
She said you went to an orthopedic clinic.
The clinic where Young Hye works, right?
Did you have to ask Young Hye a bunch of questions?
Normally, you don't even want to talk to her.
No, not Young Hye. The doctor there is my friend.
Didn't I tell you?
Your friend?
Oh, right. I remember now. Yes.
At the wedding,
Mother mentioned to me in passing that Young Hye...
and Min Ah's mother-in-law went to high school together.
And you went to the same high school.
Hold on. Min Ah's mother-in-law...
What? So it's a woman?
Goodness, so what?
She's a doctor, not a woman.
I reached out to her because we had to consult a doctor.
What's your problem?
I didn't say anything.
Why are you getting all worked up?
I'm not getting worked up. You're...
Forget it. What's with this lengthy conversation anyway?
Eat up. You need to eat.
Right, if you were going to cheat on me,
you would've done it long ago with a stranger.
What?
I've said this multiple times.
What woman would want to talk to you?
If anyone does, that means she doesn't know what you're like.
If you two went to high school together,
she must know you well, so there's no way she'd like you.
And Young Hye also went to the same high school,
and if you went to the clinic where they work together...
What could you have done? I mean, you're not dumb.
Right, no way.
Someone's using her brain for a change.
See?
You got jealous...
for no reason, but I'm not like that.
What? What did you think I did with Director Maeng?
- Goodness gracious. - I never got jealous.
Sure, whatever. Just eat.
Right, I may end up...
signing with Writer Gu's agency.
She could help me get a meeting with them.
Goodness. They only sign with the top actors.
What makes you so confident?
I'm going to become a top actress too.
That's why I want to sign with them.
Yes, eat. Eat up so you can climb the ladder.
Yes, that's the Oh Min Hee I know.
Whatever happens, she forgets it all in a week.
She's incredibly simple-minded.
Writer Gu, are you setting up a meeting for Min Hee?
Don't make her hopeful.
She's finally recovering from what happened.
Don't do this.
Grandpa, it doesn't hurt at all when you brush my hair now.
- Really? - Yes.
But I still can't do the pigtails.
You're still better than me.
I've been trying for years but still can't do it.
This is all I can do.
Mom keeps her hair short because it's too much work...
to wash it when it's long.
I've had long hair, but it's such a hassle.
It takes forever to dry it.
I actually want a short haircut like yours.
Really? That will look very cool.
You can pull off anything.
- Right? - Yes.
I should try it, at least once.
Right, where does Sang Min go to work on his painting?
I want to visit him.
I want to see the painting he's working on.
I'm not sure. I never asked him.
There must be a studio space where he usually goes to.
Oh, Uncle Sang Min said he quit art.
What? What do you mean?
Last time, when he was hanging out with me...
- What? - Nothing. Never mind.
What is it? Finish what you were saying.
The thing is, he told me not to tell anyone,
but I forgot.
Grandpa, Mom. Don't tell him I told you.
Why did he quit art?
Wait, why is this a secret?
Mother, In Seo doesn't want to eat.
Again?
What's wrong with In Seo?
Sit down. Let's eat.
Okay.
- Mom! - Mother!
Is this a hunger strike?
You did nothing to be proud of.
What do you want me to do?
You said you wanted to study.
If you stayed home, you'd be distracted...
and tempted to do other things. That's why I sent you there.
Are you that angry that I sent you there?
Or do you want to laze around all your life?
You won't even talk to me. What are you thinking?
You're hanging me out to dry!
Is this late teenage angst?
Do you suddenly want to be rebellious?
You're not a kid anymore. You're 20 now.
You're an adult.
Why are you so immature?
Then...
if I'm an adult,
can I decide what to do with my life?
What?
I'll be honest.
The truth is, I can't get into a college in Seoul.
Even if you sent me to all kinds of cram academies,
I'd never get in.
But you haven't even tried.
- Without trying... - I tried.
Last year, I tried my very best.
You just didn't know.
You weren't even interested.
You only cared about Min Ah.
She was in the advanced classes for top universities,
so you always worked around her schedule and picked her up.
You only checked in on her and consulted her teachers.
You never even cared about me.
In Seo.
I know Min Ah only slept four hours a day. I never did that,
but I really did my best.
Despite that, I couldn't get in. So I know...
I won't get in even if I study that hard again.
And the thing is, I don't think I can study that hard again.
Then what?
What will you do if you're not going to study?
How will you earn a living?
"You don't need a college degree to live a good life."
"I can work part-time and make ends meet." Don't give me that.
Can you get a real job? A proper career?
What can you do to become financially independent?
See? You don't even know.
You don't know what you like...
or what you're interested in.
Have you ever come to me and said you wanted to do something?
Have you ever persevered and finished anything?
I'd send you to an academy, but you always quit in no time.
The thing is, most people are like that.
They're not exceptionally good at anything.
That's why you need to study.
Study and get into a good college.
From then on, you can try whatever you want...
because no one will look down on you for not having a college degree.
I've explained this to you over and over.
Do you still not get it?
Judo is fun.
So is woodworking.
I want to keep learning it, and everyone says I'm good.
Aunt Da Bal said my judo skills have improved so much,
and my woodworking instructor always praises me...
and says that I should keep at it.
I, too, thought I lacked tenacity. I thought I was dumb.
But I was wrong, Mom.
When I like something, I can keep at it.
I'm not good at studying, but I can make things.
So?
Can you get a job out of it?
If you keep learning judo, what will you get out of it?
Your aunt was...
a stand-by player for the national team.
She started learning judo at a young age,
and it became her career.
Woodworking?
What can you do with it?
Will you sell what you make?
How many can you make in a day?
Who will buy them? And how many will they buy?
Where will you make these things, and how will you sell them?
No!
I'm not saying I want to do it as a job!
I'm just telling you that I like it.
See?
I'm telling you I like something, but you don't even want to listen.
All you say is that I must study.
You only care about Min Ah anyway.
Why are you suddenly doing this to me?
Why do you keep bringing up Min Ah?
This is about you!
You always say, "Min Ah did it. Why can't you do it?"
You always compare us and favor her!
Do you think I kept quiet because I didn't know?
"Of course, I'm so incompetent."
"She likes Min Ah more because Min Ah is smart."
I just accepted it.
I don't want to study,
and I'm not going to college.
I'll figure out what to do with my life.
In Seo. Geum In Seo!
Oh, Dad.
Where are you going all dressed up?
I have to take care of something.
I didn't know you had a suit like this.
You and Ms. Kang bought me this...
from your honeymoon.
I'm wearing it for the first time today.
Where are you going?
Do you have a job interview?
What? How did you know?
Why would you quit art?
You were so stubborn about it when I tried to get you to quit.
You started taking your crayons and sketchbook everywhere at age three.
Why quit now?
That's the thing.
I tried my best for so many years,
so it's about time I tried something new.
When we asked you recently to paint something for the wall,
you said yes.
You didn't say anything when I gave you the paint.
That's because I always talked about wanting to be an artist.
I knew you'd be disappointed in me,
so I wanted to get a proper job...
and get my own place and move out...
before I told you about it.
It's not a big deal.
You said it yourself.
When I was pestering you to send me to a school abroad,
you said, "Why bother going abroad when you can't even do it here?"
Oh, I don't resent you for it.
I got a reality check.
Sang Gu always called me...
an artsy idiot.
I want to stop being that idiot.
I'll see you later.
Mother, you're not at the hair salon.
Are you home now?
Oh, I'm at the clinic where Young Hye works.
I'm getting some treatment for my wrist.
Can you wait? This will take a little while.
I see.
I don't want to wait at a cafe if you'll be done soon.
I'll come and pick you up.
Will you? Sure.
Okay, call me when you're here.
Okay.
You kept saying we should talk about it later,
so I just came to see you.
It must really hurt your feelings.
Of course, it did.
You're his mother.
You had no idea what your son was up to.
I hope you understand our situation though.
When I saw In Seo working part-time as a delivery guy,
I felt so bad for him, knowing how difficult the job is.
So I thought it'd be better for him to just help out his grandfather.
In Seo asked me not to tell you because...
you'd be worried if you found out about him working part-time.
A delivery job?
At Father's work sites?
Did he not tell you?
Yes, he did that for a while.
You know, before Min Ah's wedding.
He wanted to help her with the wedding expenses.
I thought it was so sweet.
He only did it for a little while.
(Smile TNTN Orthopedics)
You're Min Ah's mother-in-law, right?
We met at the wedding.
Hello, you're her aunt, right?
Director Geum's wife.
Yes, that's right.
I heard you all went to high school together.
And you've been helping my husband with the research for his drama.
Right, it wasn't a big deal though.
By the way, what brings you here?
Oh, my mother-in-law is here for her treatment,
so I came to pick her up.
I see. I was on my way to the restroom.
- I'll see you around. - See you.
Min Hee.
Hello, Mother. Is your treatment finished?
Yes, you should've waited in the car. Why bother coming in?
I came all the way here,
so I should at least say hello to Young Hye.
Right, that's true.
But Young Hye is working now.
And she's not in the greatest mood at the moment.
Just say hello the next time you see her.
Why is she in a bad mood? What happened?
The thing is...
In Seo got hurt.
In Seo? How?
- How did he get hurt? - Mother, you left this.
- Hello. - Hello.
You left this.
Oh, my bracelet! Thank you.
I heard In Seo is hurt. What happened?
How did my dear In Seo get hurt?
Well, some stuff happened.
Hold on, did you say "my dear In Seo"?
Since when did you care about him so much?
In Seo and I are very close,
so of course I care...
She's his aunt. Of course, they're close.
Let's go. I made some side dishes for you.
We'll be off, then.
Wait.
Well...
You two are close?
How did you and In Seo become close?
The agreement...
To finalize the agreement...
Mr. Geum, I'm sending you the address of Ms. Seo's studio.
She says she will wait for you.
She really wants to meet you.
I'll be waiting too.
The tax base is calculated...
based on the net income...
which is obtained by deducting losses,
the total non-taxable income,
and the total tax deduction from the annual revenue.
I see that you studied a lot.
Yes.
What's your hobby?
I love baseball. I'm a member of an amateur baseball team.
I see. So you like to stay active.
Yes.
(Interviewer)
Mr. Geum Sang Min.
Yes, sir.
I already asked you questions about export and sales,
so I'd like to ask you about something else now.
When you work in sales,
you kind of need to sell your image.
How would you introduce yourself if you were to sell yourself?
Oh, if I were to sell myself...
Well...
"This is the kind of person I am."
How would you describe yourself in one word?
What kind of person am I?
I'm...
In one word...
