(Director Kang Sung Wook)
I have a crush on him.
I have a crush on Kang Cha Yeol.
(Episode 25)
Director Kang.
What is it?
You should leave now for the meeting with the buyers.
Move the meeting to tomorrow.
But Mr. Wang's flight is this afternoon. Director Kang!
Are you okay?
Why wouldn't I be?
What did Sung Wook say?
Nothing much.
Then why do you look so upset?
I'm not upset.
Come on. I heard what he said yesterday.
You don't need to hide it from me.
Just tell me. What did he say?
I told you. Nothing much.
Really?
Then I'm relieved.
Cha Yeol.
Yes?
I don't like him.
What do you mean?
I don't have any feelings for Director Kang.
Right, I figured.
Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?
I couldn't answer the question yesterday. That's why.
He seems to really like you though.
It'll be awkward.
What can I do?
Right, work is work.
Anyway, you can come to me whenever you're stressed out.
Okay, thanks.
This is so engaging.
Will I ever write a script like this?
Right, the book. What kind of book did he buy for me?
"Know Yourself"?
My gosh. What's he trying to say?
Is he trying to tell me that I should know my place?
I can't believe this.
What's his problem?
Myung Sook, are you okay?
Why wouldn't I be?
I'll just think that I don't have a son.
By the way, why did you go there yesterday?
Tae Pyung told me that you went there to meet the dumpling house owner.
Is it true?
Why? Am I not allowed to go there?
How many times have I told you?
I really can't stand that man.
Don't you worry. Mr. Jang is not interested in you either.
What?
He feels so bad for his late wife...
that he has no interest in remarrying...
even if a young, pretty woman shows up and hits on him.
Really?
Yes, really.
Why would I make it up?
And most importantly,
you aren't exactly "young and pretty".
What? I can't believe this. I'm not that bad...
My gosh.
(Seoul, For Sale, For Lease)
My gosh.
You scared me.
Why are you so startled?
I thought you were Mom.
How much longer will you avoid her?
I don't know.
Anyway, what's up?
I was feeling a little down, so I wanted to check in on you.
Anyway, what are you checking?
Real estate listings.
Are you really going to move out?
Even Dad told me to move out.
If I could, I'd love to move out too.
You? Why?
I feel like your mom keeps pushing me out.
I'm sick of hearing her tell me to get married,
and it hurts my pride that I'm mooching off them like this.
Auntie Jung Eun, how about we move out together?
Shall we?
By the way, do you have money to get a place?
Well, I have about 10,000 dollars.
What about you? Do you have anything saved up?
I have about 5,000 dollars.
What? That's it?
Hey, if I win the drama script contest,
I'll get tens of thousands of dollars right away.
Gosh, you can't rely on something that may never happen.
If we pool our money together, we have 15,000 dollars.
Look at this.
(Long-term Lease, 20,000 dollars)
Just 20,000 dollars for a long-term lease...
of a newly built 3-bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms?
Yes, that's what the ad says.
We could try this, with just an extra 5,000 dollars.
Should I look into it?
Where will we get the extra 5,000 dollars?
That's for you to figure out.
Me?
Hey, where would I go to get 5,000 dollars?
Do you not even have a friend who'd loan you 5,000 dollars?
None of my friends has any money to spare.
All right. I'll see what I can do.
Good. Then let's find a nice place and show Mom and Dad.
We'll move out together, okay?
Sounds like a plan. I don't want to get picked on anymore.
Okay. Give me five.
Okay.
What do you mean?
Director Kang canceled the meeting with the buyers? Why?
I'm not sure, sir.
You must know what happened.
Ms. Han didn't tell you anything?
The thing is,
I heard he stormed out after Ms. Baek stopped by.
What?
Okay, you can go.
(Dad)
(Power off)
(Husband)
Hi, honey. What's up?
Is Sung Wook home now by any chance?
No. Why would he be at home at this hour?
Is something up with him?
No, forget it.
- I have to go. - Honey.
Honey!
What's going on?
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the tone.
His phone is off.
Did something happen to him?
Hi, Ms. Han. It's me.
Did something happen to Sung Wook today?
No, nothing happened.
Do you want to get fired?
You'd better tell me.
The thing is, ma'am...
He didn't go to the meeting with the buyers.
Why, all of a sudden?
What? He left the office after Ms. Baek stopped by?
That's right.
Okay, all right.
Ms. Han, listen to me carefully.
I want you to keep a close watch on Sung Wook's every move...
and tell me everything he does.
Who he meets and what he says.
I want to know everything.
Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
What is he thinking?
Are you happy with your hair?
Yes.
- I hope to see you again. - Have a good day.
Thank you. You too.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
(Hye Na's Homeroom Teacher)
Hello. Is something wrong?
Did something happen to Hye Na?
She skipped lunch for the past two days...
and has been looking gloomy all day.
Hye Na?
Okay, thank you for letting me know.
All right, bye.
Hey, get up.
Kim Hye Na.
I know you can hear me.
Get up.
What?
I heard you skipped lunch for the past two days.
How can I eat lunch when I'm on a hunger strike?
Fine.
I want to know why you're being like this, so let's talk it out.
What's with this hunger strike?
Are you doing this because I didn't let your dad in when he showed up drunk?
- That's right. - What would have happened...
had I let him in?
Do you think he would've just slept quietly?
Then what?
Your dad and I would've yelled at each other and fought again.
Do you enjoy seeing us fight?
You can try to be a little patient with him.
Why should I?
Why should I be patient when he showed up drunk?
You don't care about me at all, do you?
What did you say?
Right. Had you cared about me, you wouldn't have divorced Dad so easily.
Do you think it was an easy decision for me?
Was it not?
No, it was not.
I thought about it hundreds of times before I made the decision.
You have no idea what I went through before I decided to get a divorce.
How would I know?
You made the decision without even asking me!
You were only five back then. Don't be ridiculous.
Why would I ask a five-year-old whether I should get a divorce?
Yes, you're right. I was only five back then.
How could you rob a five-year-old kid of her father?
What did you say?
I don't know how much thought went into making that decision,
but I'm sure you didn't think about me at all.
Had you thought of me at all, you wouldn't have divorced Dad so easily.
Hey, are you done talking?
You have no idea!
You don't know how jealous I am of my friends who live with their dads.
My friend, Ju Eon, goes camping with his parents every weekend.
Every Monday, he shows me photos and brags about it.
Do you know how I feel when I see those photos?
Do you have any idea?
(Hana Dumplings)
Is the salon closed today?
Goodness. I guess I picked the wrong day to visit.
My gosh, look who's here.
You're Dong Hee's uncle, right?
- Hello. - Hello.
What brings you by?
Oh, are you here to see Ms. Park?
Yes, I was visiting a client in the area.
I'm stopping by to say hello,
but the salon is closed.
Oh, no. She left earlier, saying she had to take care of something.
- She did? - Yes.
Well, since you came all the way here,
why don't you come in for a cup of tea?
Should I?
- Yes, come inside. - Okay.
- Come on in. - Thank you.
I swear I know him.
Who is he?
"Jang Hyun Seok"?
Jang Hyun Seok?
Jang Hyun Seok...
Hyun Seok?
(Hana Dumplings)
Dong Hee seems to be doing very well at your place.
It makes me so happy.
It wouldn't have been possible without your help.
Thank you again.
My gosh, no problem at all.
Dong Hee and Him Chan made me so happy while they were staying with me.
You must be quite lonely now that they've moved out.
Yes. I won't lie. I have been feeling quite lonely.
You live alone, right?
You should remarry.
My gosh, I'm too old.
How long has it been since your wife passed away?
It's been exactly 20 years.
Was she ill?
Yes, lung cancer.
I see.
She never smoked a cigarette in her life. When she was diagnosed with lung cancer,
I couldn't believe it.
Being her caregiver must've taken a toll on you.
My gosh. What I had to deal with was nothing compared to...
what my wife went through during the ten years that she was ill.
I see.
My gosh, what am I saying? I didn't have to bring that up.
- It's okay. - I'm sorry.
Oh, I'd like to invite you over to my place sometime.
I've almost finished unpacking.
It'd be nice to relax and chat about things...
over a drink or two.
How about this weekend?
I'd love to.
Then come over this weekend with your wife.
I'm not a great cook, but I'll try to cook something nice for you.
Okay. My wife will be excited.
Great.
I'm hungry.
It's 6 p.m. Let's go.
We can't leave when no one else has left.
Don't be such a slave.
Get with the times.
We'll get going.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Ms. Baek, aren't you leaving for the day?
I'm going to work late today. You get going.
Okay.
Are you two staying late too?
No, I'll leave in a bit.
Me too. Should we have dinner together, then?
Oh, sorry. We have plans.
You and Dong Hee?
Yes. She's buying me dinner.
We'll be off, then.
Let's go.
Well... I'll get going, then.
Bye.
Hello. Do you have a reservation?
Yes, under Kang Cha Yeol.
Found you. This way, please.
Take a look at the menu and let us know.
- Sure. - Sure.
When did you make the reservation?
As soon as you said I could pick an expensive place. Why?
Should we leave?
No, I never said we should leave.
Order whatever you want since I'm here to treat you.
Then I'll have Course A.
Course A...
(160 Dollars)
What?
What is it?
Nothing.
Do you have to have Course A?
Yes, I really do.
Why? Can I not order it?
Don't mind me. You should order what you want.
You should have Course A too.
It looks really good.
It's okay. I'm not even that hungry.
Really? Then what are you going to order?
Let's see. How come everything is so expensive?
What did you say?
What? Nothing. I didn't say anything.
Hurry up and pick something. I'm starving.
Okay.
Then I'll get this.
Vongole oil pasta. I'll have this.
Sure.
Excuse me.
You're home, honey.
Is Sung Wook not home yet?
No.
And he's still not picking up?
His phone is off.
I guess his battery died.
What are you talking about? He can use one of the chargers and charge his phone!
Well, maybe he doesn't know that his phone is dead.
This brat. I must have a word with him when he gets home.
Me too. This little brat.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
I'll have another bottle. The same one.
Sure.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
- Wait. - Why?
I'm suddenly craving pasta.
What?
Let's switch.
Why, all of a sudden?
I told you. I'm suddenly craving pasta.
Here, you have the steak.
I'll have the pasta.
Darn, then he should've ordered the pasta in the first place.
What a waste of money.
Aren't you going to eat?
Yes, I am eating.
Kang Cha Yeol.
When will you accept my heart?
Is it good?
Of course. You know how much this costs.
So it's good because it's expensive?
I didn't say that.
I've never had such tender meat that just melts in your mouth like this.
That was a great meal.
See? Aren't you glad that I ordered it?
In any case, I had a nice dinner today, thanks to you.
Although I'm paying for this.
Let's go.
Here, we're ready to settle up.
He already took care of the bill.
Sorry?
I wanted to treat you because Mr. Jang thinks of you as his daughter,
so don't be too touched by this.
This makes me uncomfortable.
Then buy me dinner next time.
So you can pay for it again?
What?
A, B, C, D...
Dong Hee is late.
She called and said she was going out for dinner.
- She did? - This is...
Anyway, I'm getting hungry. Do we have any snacks?
You too? I want snacks too.
Why don't we order some fried chicken?
Again? We ordered jokbal yesterday.
Come on. We ordered it for you.
But you ate all of it.
- I'm home. - Come in.
- Hey, you. - Mom!
Hi, Him Chan. I'm sorry I couldn't come home sooner.
It's okay.
I bought you some fried chicken.
Yes! I'm so excited!
- Here, have some fried chicken. - My gosh.
I was getting hungry, so this is perfect. Thanks.
No problem. I'll go wash up.
I should wash my hands.
Jung Eun, can you get some plates?
Okay, just a second.
Him Chan, go tell Uncle Tae Pyung to join us for fried chicken.
Okay!
Uncle Tae Pyung, join us for fried chicken.
No, thanks. I don't want any.
Why not?
Just because.
Do you not like fried chicken?
Every Korean likes fried chicken.
Then why won't you join us?
I can't enjoy fried chicken in the situation I'm in right now.
Why is that? Why can't you enjoy fried chicken right now?
Goodness. You're full of questions, aren't you?
Anyway, I'll pass. Please leave.
Okay.
Should I just say sorry and eat fried chicken?
No, forget it.
No way.
Uncle Tae Pyung doesn't want fried chicken.
Okay, come and eat.
Okay.
- Here. - Thanks.
- Let's eat. - It looks delicious.
- Eat up. - Okay.
My gosh.
Hey. Have you lost your mind? Sung Wook.
Get yourself together!
Hey. Kang Sung Wook!
Mom.
I'm okay. I'm totally fine.
Totally fine, my foot.
Hey, what happened?
I heard you canceled the meeting with the buyers.
I did?
You little... Here, let me take you upstairs.
- Come on... - I'm home.
Hey, perfect timing. Can you carry him upstairs?
Is he drunk?
Can't you tell?
Come on! Help me.
Hey, get up.
I got him.
Get up.
Let go!
Who do you think you are?
What are you doing? What if your dad comes out?
Answer me, you jerk.
Who do you think you are?
What's with you?
If you have something to say, sober up first.
Do you know what kind of people I despise the most?
People like you, okay?
People like me? Care to elaborate?
Selfish jerks...
who don't care about how others feel and only think however they want.
Aren't you the selfish one here?
What?
And even if I were a selfish person,
you shouldn't be the one giving me such advice.
You little... What did you say?
What's with you, seriously? Let him go!
You don't care how Seung Ju feels.
You're giving her a hard time because you like her. Am I wrong?
- You jerk! - What are you guys doing?
Put that hand down.
And let him go.
Honey, I think he had too much to drink.
I'll take care of him, so just go back inside.
How dare you come home drunk and pick a fight with your brother?
And you call yourself his elder brother?
Dad!
If you want to be called his elder brother, act like one!
Aren't you embarrassed in front of Cha Yeol?
That's enough, honey.
He's drunk, so there's no point in talking to him now.
Come on. Let's go upstairs. Let's go.
Let go!
Mother.
You little...
Honey!
(Bravo, My Life)
I really can't stand you.
- Don't you recognize me? - Sorry?
You two, what was that yesterday?
It's not what you think.
Come on. It was a date.
I think Director Kang has a crush on Ms. Baek.
Who does she think she is, playing hard to get?
I'm Director Kang's mother.
