(Episode 53)
You're early.
Please check the books.
Yes, I'll go get it from next time.
Ms. Gong Gye Ok.
What is your relationship with Ms. Gong So Young?
She's your sister. Am I right?
I wanted to ask you at least once.
Even if this marriage is disrespectful and disgraceful,
how could anyone from your family not come to see you?
I wasn't trying to fool them.
It kind of naturally happened as I cut ties with them.
Is that so?
They know even know that you're married?
We haven't seen each other for more than a decade.
So what is there to tell them?
They're not even my real sister or mother.
What do you mean she's not your real sister?
My dad got remarried.
And it's been more than 20 years since he passed away.
Still, they're the only family you have.
If they siphoned off of me for ten years, I think I did enough.
I was like an orphan anyway.
I didn't contact them because I thought...
I'd be more of a stranger to them once I get married.
And I didn't want to cause a racket...
when the family is a mess already.
Is that so?
You better tighten your security thoroughly...
if you want to succeed.
I'll keep it a secret to Ms. Gong So Young...
since I've known you, although it was short.
I'd be grateful.
Then...
But...
it seems like your sister is selling handbags.
Is she?
I don't know much about it.
Oh, right.
You cut ties with them a long time ago.
All right.
Ms. Gong is selling fakes on the internet.
Is that so?
I haven't been interested.
I thought I'd buy one thinking we're in-laws.
I guess that's not necessary.
Do whatever you'd like.
She has nothing to do with me.
Hey, Soo Min. It's me.
Did Mom or So Young call you?
Actually, So Young found out.
Your marriage...
I mean, did she find out about your fake marriage?
No, she doesn't know about that.
She found out that I'm in Seoul, not Ulleungdo.
I bumped into her at the noodle restaurant.
She thinks I got all the money back from the frauds and ran off.
How did that happen?
So what did she say?
She must've had a fit!
She wants to cut ties and not to contact each other.
That's great news.
You should do that.
Just so you know, okay?
Also, my mom would've been disappointed at me,
so take a look at her when you get some time.
All right. I'll call you again.
Did something happen?
It's nothing.
You're going to work late today.
Yes, I have a meeting outside.
About Baek Doo's other woman...
Yes?
Why don't you ask Geum Gang about her?
Baek Doo might be with that woman right now.
Won't there be anyone who knows her number?
All right. I'll ask him.
You're all right though, right?
Pardon?
It seems something is troubling you.
I think it's because I didn't get enough sleep.
Let's walk out together.
Are you going somewhere?
I want to get some small octopus from the fish market.
I thought I might cook up yeonpotang for Mr. Boo...
as he seems a little down.
Wow, yeonpotang?
Do you know how to cook that?
That sounds delicious.
I feel weak these days.
I'll leave some for you, Han Ra, and Ga On.
Let's go.
Do you have something to tell me?
Gong Gye Ok...
is quite the woman as expected.
Why?
I think she had a tough life.
She was left alone in a stepfamily and bled dry.
She says she cut ties in the end.
Those kinds of people are vicious and bold.
Almost reckless even.
That's why she married into this family.
She has many similarities with me the more I see her.
Whether to keep the enemy close or go against her.
Anyway, I think we need to keep an eye on her family...
to see if they become a ball and chain for her or us.
And then what?
If they're a ball and chain for her,
we must make her be dragged down.
But there's no way Mr. Boo doesn't know that.
I don't understand why he keeps her by his side.
The truth will be revealed if we wait and see.
Did Father say anything to you?
Did he mention that he'll leave the soup room to you?
I guess he doesn't have room to think about that.
Manager Yoon!
Let's step out for a while and talk during the afternoon break.
Mom!
Did she go to the restaurant already?
I'm hungry.
Gosh, this house is so miserable.
I have to find a way to live too.
How long do I have to take care of the family?
You asked Soo Min for money again, haven't you?
It's neverending for you.
However I struggle, you don't even budge!
She makes me so angry.
What an ungrateful wench.
She should be grateful to us for raising her.
Gosh.
(Three hundred dollars from Yoon Min Joo)
She wired the money for the handbag.
"Yoon Min Joo, Buruna Noodles, 8-74, Sajik-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu."
Buruna Noodles?
Oh, that manager.
She must've seen my name card.
Thank you.
I'll leave you the waybill number after posting it.
Oh, my.
Oh, my. Did you fix a date for the exorcism?
Then I have to take my son, right?
By the way, I lost touch with my ex-husband.
Shall I ask the ghost to find him when I do the exorcism?
Also, my sister on the flower palanquin you mentioned.
I'm curious about where her husband lives...
and what her husband does for a living.
That's right.
I have nothing to lose.
I'll see you then.
I should perform ablutions and wait from today.
Have our products been delivered to China?
Yes. It has been delivered to eight department stores...
and supermarkets in Shanghai.
They will do a promotional event for a week starting from tomorrow.
Their system may be different from ours,
so pay more attention to communication.
Okay.
Is there any problem with Hangoh Foods we signed an MOU with?
No. Hangoh Foods has many Korean employees,
so we have great teamwork with them.
That could perhaps become the flaw.
Especially, localization is important for food.
I will tell them to pay attention to that part.
Okay.
If you have any further reports, please email me.
- Yes. - Yes.
Why isn't he replying back to my message?
Ten, nine, eight,
- It's going. - Seven, six,
- five, four, three, two... - five, four, three, two,
- one. - I got it!
Ae Ri!
What's wrong?
Oh, my. What's wrong with you?
I got it!
You went in and out all night.
Were you looking at your phone so far?
With just 1,000 dollars,
I made 7,000 dollars with a few clicks.
Really?
How did that happen?
Did you gamble?
What do you mean gamble?
I did foreign exchange dealing, but you know I have a good hunch.
Everything I purchased increased so much.
That's why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
You need the information to make money,
but this information is only shared between the wealthy.
Shall I do it too?
Forget it. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
You should know that you have a great husband.
Why do I feel anxious when you feel happy?
It's because you're spoiled.
Yes, Sul Ak. Did you message me?
Sorry.
I was swamped as I had to do something with my phone.
Yes. What about Baek Doo?
Is he not in touch?
Who? Seon Hee?
Who is it?
I don't know. That was a long time back.
Hey.
Is Baek Doo having an affair with Seon Hee?
Oh, my.
Yes.
I'm not sure if I can recognize her now.
Send it first.
What did he say? Who is Seon Hee?
There was a girl who Baek Doo clung on to during college.
She was pretty.
She used to come and have a few drinks with me.
Then did he have an affair with her?
Did he leave to live with her?
It's here.
Is it her?
She's pretty. My goodness.
Seon Hee is old now.
She's still pretty.
My goodness.
Baek Doo really looks happy.
Why do I feel like crying suddenly?
I've never seen this expression before.
You're right.
Let's see the next photo.
Yes.
Who is this?
I'm not sure. He must be Seon Hee's son.
No way.
No way!
It won't be, right?
What if it is?
Then he can't come back.
- Do they look alike? - I think so.
What are you doing?
What's with the sunglasses?
I've got a stye.
Gosh!
Why are you overreacting?
Is it because of that accident last time?
Accident?
The collision.
Also, I'm the victim.
Why are you avoiding me? I'm offended.
What do you mean by an accident? How can that be an accident?
And why are you the victim?
I was the victim from the start.
I was the one who suffered.
You stole my heart!
Here. Take it back, please.
I have nowhere to go if I quit this job.
Leave it behind, so I can concentrate on work.
Here you go. Continue what you were doing.
What are you looking at? Go away.
You're a professional.
It's not something new.
Here. Serve this.
Okay.
I'm going to take my heart...
and the kiss back.
Yes, I just got off the bus and walking back.
I have a lot to carry as I bought abalone and conch...
while I was there.
Why did you take the bus when you have a lot to carry?
You should have got a taxi.
I don't need a taxi.
Then there's no point in me going to the fish market.
I'll hang up.
I lack hands to carry this.
Yes. See you later.
Why are they outside?
That's Min Joo's car.
What are they doing?
What's going on between them?
So what did you have for lunch with your sister?
A double portion of jjajangmyeon.
Seriously? She came all the way here.
She ate well.
You're here.
I bought some small octopus. Let's have it together.
- Thank you! - Small octopus?
I'm back.
How was the doctor's appointment?
Yes. It's a mild flu.
They didn't even give me a prescription.
I'm going to go in.
- Auntie, what shall I make? - Your best dish.
- Really? - For me.
- A great dish. - How about shabu-shabu?
How can they act as nothing happened?
What's going on with those two?
- Are you busy? - Why?
Your homeroom teacher called...
saying I should go to your school for admissions counseling.
You should have asked Min Joo.
It's a bit difficult for her to go.
Why?
She's a bit busy these days.
Why? Do you not want me to go?
You're busier.
You can come.
Okay. Take a rest.
But do you still feel uncomfortable?
What?
What if I'm uncomfortable?
We live in Grandfather's house.
What are you talking about? Grandfather adores you.
Are you accepting her as Grandmother?
What?
Why?
She seems to be closer to you than she is to Grandfather.
Ga On.
It could be confusing for you now,
but you'll understand later.
For now, can you trust Grandfather and other family members...
and give it some time?
Don't worry about me.
Hang out with me sometime.
Not just with your friends.
How about the escape room?
I've never been there.
What's wrong? It's awkward.
Right. I'll go now.
We can go with Han Ra.
I'll set a date. Okay?
Escape room?
Did I startle you?
You're here.
Were you that frightened?
No.
About Chef Cha.
- Yes. - Did he always get along...
with the family members other than the employees?
Not really.
He used to be close with Baek Doo,
but not so much with others.
I personally never had a conversation with him.
But what is it?
It's nothing. Mr. Boo seemed to care about him a lot.
That's true.
He'll probably tell the secret of the soup...
to Chef Cha if he does.
Does he trust him that much?
What is it?
Father, we're here.
Are you home, Dad?
What brings you here this late?
The time doesn't matter to us when we come to see you.
You're here.
Yes.
But what brings you here?
He wanted to come to see Father...
as he thought Father might be concerned.
Have you been well, Mother?
Yes, I'm glad you're here.
Father,
this is gongjindan.
It can even bring the dead to life as it has musk in it.
Did you try the kyungokgo I brought last time?
I was too busy to try that.
Then why don't you leave that and start with this?
Please do, Dad.
You should be healthy at times like this.
Mr. Boo, you must be happy.
Geum Gang and Ae Ri care for you so much.
We've always cared for him.
It's just that we were too busy to visit him frequently.
Didn't Baek Doo call you either?
He didn't.
Don't be too heartbroken.
He's not your only son.
I'll do my best to care for you.
Yes. He's always worried about you.
Did you come to ask for money again?
Money?
No, I didn't.
I said that to help you invest your spare money.
I have never let you down until now,
but I'll make something happen.
I feel very lucky these days.
I'm getting good results like oil fields bursting in the desert,
so look forward to it.
That's very good.
You must feel reassured.
Is there any good news?
Of course.
Other than the money lending business,
what do you plan to start again?
I'm doing the money lending business to secure a capital base.
There are many businesses outside of that.
And Dad...
It may have been beyond Baek Doo's capabilities...
to manage your building.
That could be part of the reason why he didn't stick at home.
I'll help Baek Doo from now on.
Yes.
He regretted a lot...
that he should've set out to do it...
in the first place.
Brothers should help each other out.
I have more connections...
and know more about how the world works than him,
so I will spare no effort to help out.
Geum Gang, spare me a minute.
Okay.
Is it her?
It is Seon Hee.
I saw her photo and she did get old.
This will be more serious than I imagined.
Do you think he's in middle school?
How can he cause trouble with his first love?
But you don't think that kid is his, do you?
No way.
I don't know. Maybe it was meant to happen.
He totally lost Dad's trust now.
Dad was all about his first son, but now he'll think differently.
So do you want to take his place?
Take what?
How can you talk like that?
By the way, is everything all right in there?
What do you mean?
Ms. Gong.
That woman.
Look at her join our conversation naturally like she's his wife.
If it weren't for Dad...
Hey.
Don't you think Dad will come to his senses soon?
Now that this happened to Baek Doo, he'd have realized something.
Give up.
What?
They can't get enough of each other.
They're crazy about each other.
How annoying.
Geez.
(Buruna Noodles)
Hang in there.
You'll get your energy back in no time.
I was startled as you called me early in the morning.
Is Min Joo here today?
Yes, but she must feel so bad.
If she wants to break up,
it must be stressful to see her in-laws,
so you should tell her to get some rest.
Keep quiet if you don't about it.
What is it?
Is there something I don't know about?
Go and tell Min Joo to come in.
What are you going to tell her?
Fill me in.
Get out already.
Your father-in-law wants to see you.
How did you find this after taking it for a month?
Are you sleeping well and feeling clearer?
About the land in Icheon.
Yes.
I'll put it in your name.
Whether you're together with Baek Doo or not,
it's the price for your efforts in this family.
You always taught me that nothing comes for free in life.
I appreciate your offer,
but I have no plans to be with him in the future.
And I would wish for more than that.
What?
If that's what you really want,
show me that you mean it.
What do you mean by that?
I want a branch of Buruna Noodles.
In my name, Yoon Min Joo.
Then I will remain as Beak Doo's wife...
and your daughter-in-law.
(Brilliant Heritage)
Does she want the secret to the soup to ask for a branch?
I wish you can be in charge of the new branch, Jung Gwon.
You're so rude.
What? Rude?
Did you say I was rude?
I've heard about Baek Doo.
How did you know about it?
Chef Cha did?
Do you know anything about it?
Let's go visit my in-laws to have a meal.
Is it Buruna Noodles?
