(Episode 40)
Let's go together. You walk fast.
Isn't that Gye Ok?
Gye Ok! Gong Gye Ok!
Who is that old man beside her?
Gye Ok!
Where did she go?
I'm sure it was Gye Ok.
Gye Ok!
Let's go.
Why are you...
Hey, So Young.
I've been calling you from before.
Why are you here?
Well,
thank you.
So I go straight.
Then I go over there and turn over there?
Yes, that's right.
Thank you for your time, young lady.
Bye.
Okay, bye.
I'm so thirsty from all the running.
Why won't you pick up your phone?
I didn't know you called.
How can you come here unannounced?
Someone was going to Seoul today, so I rushed a bit.
Mom was worried about me.
Anyway, are you empty-handed?
You said you were going to buy some squid and stuff.
I forgot.
I was distracted by that old man.
I left all my gifts somewhere.
So Young, I'll see you at the restaurant.
I better go find my bags.
See you later.
She's everywhere.
She was like that when she left.
She's still like that.
Oh, my. I'm going to be late.
Mr. Boo.
So she's your sister.
Yes.
I think I have to go home today.
Why?
I told her I came back from Ulleungdo,
so I should stay the night.
You're not having second thoughts, are you?
I have second thoughts about dozens of times a day.
I just don't dare to run away.
Take it.
Pardon?
I said, take it.
Take it out of next month's salary.
We have fewer customers during lunchtime.
Shall I hand out some flyers?
I don't like flyers. It becomes a waste.
We could make it so that they want to keep it.
Not incinerate?
No. Something they can't throw away.
(Jeong Mi Hee's Meat Restaurant, the best meat with the best price)
Mom!
Gye Ok! When did you come?
Gye Ok!
Bo Mi!
I'm so glad to meet you!
I know!
Mom, have you been well?
Of course. Sit down.
Did you eat?
Yes.
What about you, Mom?
I've had my meal.
How could you come without telling me?
I came in a hurry because I missed you.
I'm so relieved you're here, Bo Mi.
I was looking for a job, so I was happy to hear it's vacant.
I came straight here the next day.
By the way, can we be like this when Soo Min is the boss?
What?
Soo Min owns this place?
I heard Gye Ok owns it.
What are you talking about?
She can't afford this.
I think Soo Min was too embarrassed.
Mom, I have somewhere I need to go.
- I'll be right back. - Okay.
Then come home later, okay?
See you later.
Are you going to wear it?
No, it's for my mom.
How old is she?
She's in her 60s.
But she looks like she's in her 50s.
How about this?
It's very popular, but we only have this one left.
It's on sale too.
One moment.
Hey, Mom. It's me.
I want to buy you a jacket for summer.
Is pink all right?
It's vibrant and pretty.
I have a lot of pink clothing.
Aren't there any blouses instead of jackets?
What? A blouse?
This one is good.
How much is that?
Oh, how much is this?
This is new in season, so it's a bit expensive.
It's 205 dollars.
This isn't on sale.
It's 205 dollars.
Right. Good ones don't do discounts.
Okay. I'll get the blouse.
Hey, Gye Ok. Nevermind.
Don't buy it. I have a lot of clothing.
It's fine. I'll get you one.
Where is your wife?
What do you mean wife?
She went to see her mom.
Did she?
I should visit your mother-in-law to eat some meat and stuff.
Don't even think about it.
We were out to see the real estate because of Han Ra's studio.
And we almost got caught because we bumped into her sister.
What? So what did you do?
We pretended we didn't know each other.
I can't believe I missed the show.
Young Bae.
You showed her everything about your household.
Aren't you too trusting?
What can I do?
I'm an open book.
I'm just telling you to stay alert all the time.
You never know what the other person is thinking.
Where's Auntie?
Ae Ri's mom is here, so she's in the private room.
Were they that close?
They were like enemies before.
But one day, they became really close.
Oh, my gosh.
He told you to meet a young man?
He definitely drew the line.
How could he not know how I feel?
Since this happened, why don't you see the end of it?
What? See the end of it?
Why don't you at least taste the sour grape?
You practiced the Seoul dialect as I told you, right?
Well, I did.
But what use would that do?
Don't be naive.
You need to use the Seoul dialect...
to be able to approach him as a woman.
If you sometimes add a few words of English, then that's very good.
Is that so? Says who?
Women in the nursing home or my friends say so.
Apparently, old men go crazy over my Seoul dialect.
If Seoul dialect and English work,
I could try thousands of times.
Here. Give me an example.
Let's see.
"Honey."
"The weather is melancholic."
"Why don't we listen..."
"to 'Fantaisie-Impromptu' by Chopin in Dongseung-dong..."
"over Vienna coffee in Figaro Cafe?"
It's melancholic.
Figaro and Chopin?
Chopin and Vienna...
How much broth do we have left?
He must be here!
Good luck, Pan Geum!
We can barely get through dinner time.
People are eating more as the weather is hotter.
You're here.
Gosh, when did you come?
Just now.
Are you doing well?
- I'll get back to work. - Okay.
Sit down.
How's everything going, Yong Mi?
Yes. It's the same for me.
Young Bae.
Would you like to have a cup of Vienna sausage...
while listening to Chopin's "Madness"...
at the Dongsung-dong Figaro coffee shop...
as the weather is melancholic?
You're mad.
Are you exhausted from the heat?
Then, I'll be off.
Yes.
Goodbye.
Pan Geum!
You went too far.
This is not it.
You said it would work!
Pan Geum.
Let go of me first.
Where is that welfare center?
I'm going to do a fact check.
Pan Geum. Let go.
Pan Geum.
Why are you getting mad at me?
It's "Fantaisie," not "madness."
It's "Chopin," not "shopping."
Why would you drink a sausage?
Seriously.
My hair is all ruined.
Boo Ga On.
You were on a roll today.
I had something going on.
That woman is...
not coming home today.
Oh, that woman that married your grandfather?
Yes.
She's so annoying.
It's not even the end of a century,
how can a 33-year-old woman marry an 80-year-old man?
That's why capitalism is so scary.
A world that only knows of money.
My aunt is...
the same age.
She lived so hard...
cutting meat and delivering and slept only 3 to 4 hours a day.
You have an aunt?
Yes.
She went to Ulleungdo to make money.
The world is unreasonable by nature.
Jean Paul Sartre said that.
What?
Oh, right.
"Shalala?"
Geez. Forget it.
Yes, Mom.
I'm busy.
What?
Aunt is here?
Okay. I'm going now!
Your Ulleungdo aunt?
Yes.
Goodbye.
I will send you my audition demo video,
so don't ignore my message.
So Young, how is it?
Doesn't it suit Mom?
It's all right.
It's pretty.
It was expensive, right?
No.
I can’t buy you often, so you should wear something expensive.
Thank you, Gye Ok.
Don't mention it.
Mom, sit down. Let's drink beer.
Okay.
It's more delicious because you bought it from Ulleungdo.
Really?
Your fashion style has improved.
Do you make good money?
It hasn't. This is cheap.
Aunt!
Jang Won!
Goodness me.
What took you so long? You ignored my messages as well.
Sit down. Have some dried squid.
When did you come? Why so suddenly?
When are you going again?
I have to go back tomorrow.
That long way in one day?
Oh, yes.
Was it really your first time you met that old man earlier?
You two seemed to be very close.
Old man?
He was old...
and it was his first time there, so I showed him the way.
Good job.
Gye Ok is friendly and affable to elders.
That wasn't what it looked like.
Jang Won.
This sneaker is yours.
Why did you buy it?
I have one.
Just wear it.
Thank you, Aunt.
You're the best!
Me too. My boyfriend.
A nail salon?
Yes. There is no premium, so I just have to pay the deposit.
I don't have that much money.
Are you sure?
Yes. I don't have it.
Are you sure you didn't get the rest of the scammed money?
Even with this house and my loan debt, it's only 30,000 dollars.
I could get more...
as I'm trying to find out.
What does that mean?
Why can't you speak straight?
I'm not sure either.
The lawyer does everything for me.
Gye Ok,
did you start another family?
Are you living comfortably...
somewhere after receiving the full 80,000 dollars?
That's nonsense.
Gye Ok, let's go to bed.
It's weird she got scared.
What's wrong with you?
Didn't I tell you...
that your lower body should be cold?
If there's too much heat, we can't have a son.
Geez.
Even so, why did you undress me?
Then what shall we do? We have to do something.
She's trying to take over the house...
by registering the marriage and acting like a mother-in-law.
Will it make a difference if we have a son?
Do as the shaman said.
This is the only way...
we can survive.
Still, this is too early in the morning.
The Y chromosome is strongest from 6 to 7 in the morning...
when fatigue is relieved.
My Y chromosome is most tired at this time of day.
Be quiet.
Close that mouth.
Seriously!
It's tickly!
Who is calling so early in the morning?
Don't pick it up!
It's a detective agency.
Yes, Mr. Oh.
Did you finally find out?
Mom. Have King Sejong's face on one side,
then money will come in.
Really?
I have never heard that before.
The market people say that.
Gye Ok, I moved house. Come visit next time.
Really? Where did you move to?
To a nearby studio.
But the owner looks like Park Hyung Sik.
He's completely my type.
Is he that handsome?
You wait and see.
I'm going to make him mine...
- without fail! - Yes.
It's "Jeong Mi Hee Meat Restaurant" in Majang-dong.
- All right. - Gye Ok!
Welcome.
Welcome!
Sit down. What would you like?
Just give me anything.
Pardon?
Shall I get you assorted meat?
Sure.
One assorted meat.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
How's life?
Is your life well?
Well, yes.
The business is not going very well.
Oh, I see.
You have to make a lot of money.
As you are beautiful,
I guess your daughters will be incredible too.
What is he trying to say again?
Of course. Both of them are pretty.
Both?
Did they both...
get married?
I have many fine bachelors around me.
Oh, right!
My eldest daughter...
already got married once,
but my second daughter hasn't even gone close.
Where did she go? She was just here.
Are you all right?
By the way, what do you do?
- Yes. - Welcome.
Please have a seat.
- She's here? - Do you want to eat pork belly?
- That can't be. - We'll have pork belly.
Yes, Mr. Oh.
Are you sure this is the place?
What? There are two more in Miari and Chuncheon with the same name?
My gosh. All right.
Isn't this the right place?
- Why are you leaving? - I'll come next time.
What?
What's with that customer?
I know. Where is Gye Ok though?
- Oh, my. Gye Ok. - Where have you been?
- Well... - Why are you hiding?
Oh, it's because...
I borrowed a lot of money from him in the past.
- What did you say? - If he comes back again,
you don't know who I am. Got it?
Don't believe it if he says something weird,
and say you don't have a daughter like me.
How much did you borrow from him? Is he a bad guy?
It's nothing like that. Don't worry.
I should get going now. The ship will leave soon.
You didn't even have a meal yet.
Take care. I'll call you.
- Bo Mi, take good care of her. - Oh, yes.
Gye Ok!
My gosh.
Goodness me.
We did blind testing with a group of foreigners...
to find out whether Asians preferred bulgogi.
As a result, people preferred hot and spicy bulgogi by far.
I agree.
Not all foreigners dislike a spicy taste,
so we can distribute both sweet and spicy taste.
But we can add the hot taste for both.
Director Boo?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Where were we?
We were thinking about using hot and spicy taste.
Oh, the hot and spicy taste. We should do that.
We'll end our meeting here today.
Please write up the minutes and report to me.
We'll get this settled finally.
What should I do, Mr. Boo?
What is it? Didn't you go to see your mother?
I did,
but your second son showed up.
- Geum Gang did? - Yes.
My mother could've found out which would've caused a scene.
My legs still feel like they're shaking.
How did he find out about it?
My mom will faint if she finds out.
Please keep your sons from going there.
I'll do that.
Get some rest for now.
Goodness.
I can't have mom know about this.
Dad.
You startled me. You should knock on the door.
I'm asking you for the last time. Tell me the truth.
About what?
This is your last chance. You and I...
are not in a relationship, but we're not strangers either.
Whether it was friendship, trust, or compassion, there was something.
So forget about Dad, my family, or money.
Just you and me.
I'm going to ask within our relationship.
What is this marriage?
I've got nothing to say.
What?
We got married because we needed each other.
We were going to rely on each other.
Isn't that enough?
What did you need?
What did you want to rely on? Is it money?
Is that why you persuaded Dad...
and talked about the undutiful child prevention act...
and tried to take the inheritance of his children?
Explain this.
How did you...
You registered the marriage,
but why is there nothing on the family relations document?
Why is your name not here as my stepmother?
You don't have a degree and seem to be unfortunate,
but you tried to make ends meet.
So I felt sorry for you...
and I even admired you at times.
I hoped everything will work out for you.
I wished you wouldn't be scammed or hurt anymore.
I hate myself for feeling compassion and worry about you...
even for a moment.
Gong Gye Ok.
I despise you.
(Brilliant Heritage)
Tell me.
How can this be?
I made it all up because I was disgusted.
- I felt resentment. - Geez.
Because it felt so vain, and I was worried.
That day,
- I saw and heard everything. - Dad.
