(Episode 85)
Who are you?
Oh, I'm a friend of your dad.
You know who I am, right?
I picked up the notebook for you when you dropped it last time.
And I told you that you have a pretty name.
You have a pretty name.
Boo Ga On.
But what brings you here?
How do you know my dad?
I'm Megan. I work with your dad.
We were friends back when we studied in the States.
Oh, hello. But how do you know me?
Your dad is very proud of you.
He also showed me your picture.
But you really are pretty.
Am I?
You must be so surprised that I showed up unannounced.
I work near here, so I waited for you just in case.
I just wanted to see you.
We should see again with your dad next time.
Where is he? I can't get a glimpse of him today.
Honey. Are you in there, Baek Doo?
My goodness.
I need to go to the restroom.
Did he not come out once after having lunch?
That's so refreshing.
The fan is useless when I'm standing next to the soup container.
It's as hot as a furnace.
You'll give up soon if you work too hard.
Don't overdo it.
But I should try as much as I can when Dad's not here.
Did he teach you something?
Not really. He just told me how to pick the ingredients.
Choosing the right ingredients takes up half of making a good dish.
Don't think of it lightly.
I never imagined...
Dad will let me go inside the soup room this soon.
Honey.
Do you know you look different these days?
Why do you say that? I'm embarrassed.
You look dashing when you're absorbed in something.
It's a hard-won opportunity, so try your best.
Honey.
Do you really not have plans for adoption?
I want to pay back for my wrongdoings...
and for us to be happy for a long time.
I think it will be easier if we had a child.
I understand what you mean.
I'll give it some thought.
We should focus on the restaurant for now.
Sure.
Let's clean up the plates and get back.
Don't be mistaken.
I'll get going.
I'm off, Jin Soon.
Why? It looks good on you.
I'm home.
- Oh. - Dad.
Yes, you're home early.
Dad. Who's Megan?
How do you know her?
I saw her at the school gate.
She said she works with you and has known you from before.
That's weird.
Why did she go to see you?
She said you boasted about me a lot.
She said she wanted to see me.
But I didn't know she'd show up there.
Did you meet her while studying in America?
Are you close to her?
Oh, well. We're friends.
She's really pretty and sophisticated.
Is she single?
All right. I'll tell her not to go see you again.
She can be really curious, so I think that's why she went over.
It didn't seem like it.
What do you mean?
Is there something between you two?
It's not like that. She can be quirky.
That's nonsense. Go get some rest. Come on.
The number you dialed is not available. Please leave a message...
Who could she be?
If they're just friends, why did she come to see me?
Could she be...
That can't be.
Does she like Dad?
You can't. That's unacceptable.
What responsibility when you're living with a woman...
without a marriage registration?
If that's the case, just get married and live together.
My life is tough.
- Give it to me. - Goodness.
That's so heavy.
It's tough, isn't it?
What? I was just saying it.
It could get tougher from now on.
But still, I'm going to live with you.
Even if the world splits us apart...
No matter what hardships we suffer,
I'm going to live with you, Bo Mi.
What is it? Is something wrong?
You see, my family members... It's nothing.
What about your family?
- They won't allow it. - What?
I've only heard of parents being against couples dating.
What are we going to do now?
Han Ra. Oh, Han Ra.
Why is your name Han Ra?
My father named me Han Ra.
Baek Doo, Geum Gang, Sul Ak,
and Han Ra.
Forget your dad and your name too.
No, if you can't do that,
just vow that you'll live with me.
My Bo Mi,
I swear on that moon...
that I'll live with you.
What are you guys doing?
Oh, gosh.
You're here.
What are you guys so desperate about?
Ma'am, what would you say...
if Jang Won grows up and says he'll move in with a woman?
Will you disapprove?
Me? I don't know.
I think that would depend on who he's moving in with.
He'll be moving in with a kind, pretty, and smart girl.
Are you guys moving in together?
- Yes. - Yes.
I'm for it.
There are a lot of couples who live together...
without getting married and having kids in other countries.
I personally like that idea.
Marriage is a shackle.
If you really love each other, do you need a shackle?
You can live happily ever after without getting married.
Then you can get married if you want later.
If it doesn't work out, you say goodbye.
Wow, you're so cool and awesome.
It's from my experience of getting married twice.
So it's not just a load of trash.
My dad needs to hear this.
Why? It looks good on you.
His face said otherwise.
The sky today.
Wow, it's beautiful.
I want to go traveling.
It looks great.
Let's come here together next time.
What is this?
I looked particularly handsome today.
What is this brat doing?
What?
How dare you doze off while the heat is on?
I'm sorry.
What's wrong with this?
Oh, I was draining the blood.
I thought it's a hassle to get rid of the impurities while boiling it.
I heard it reduces it when you drain blood.
You punk.
If you leave it like that, it not only gets rid of impurities,
it also gets rid of all the juice.
It won't make a soup!
Why would you do something I didn't ask you?
I'm so sorry.
Get out!
Okay.
I'm off to work.
See you.
Right.
When do you get off from your academy?
When are you going to the study room?
After the fourth class, I have one supplement class.
Why?
Can you not go today?
Pardon?
Why not?
It's hot and...
Nevermind.
Come right home. Don't go anywhere else.
You're here.
Are you going out now?
Yes.
Bye.
Hello.
Hey, Ga On.
It's been a while.
I heard Uncle Baek Doo is working at the restaurant.
Yes.
How's your dad?
Did you ask him about her?
They're not in a relationship like that.
I told Uncle Han Ra too.
Han Ra?
About what?
Uncle Han Ra sensed something between them too...
and asked me to feel them up.
I see.
I met her with her nephew,
and I asked her straight whether she likes my dad.
And she said no.
I'll believe her for now.
All right.
That's a relief then.
She's going to ignore my warning and linger around?
What do you want?
Don't get scared.
Do you think I'll hurt her?
She's my daughter.
Your daughter?
How can you say that so easily?
So what are you going to do?
Are you going to tell her who you are?
So what do you gain from that?
How would that help Ga On?
Did you want me to not show up forever?
No, I waited for you!
I waited for you.
I thought you'd come back once you pull yourself together.
You'd come back because you'd miss your child.
One year and two years passed...
Oh, maybe...
she's still wounded.
Then another one and two years passed.
I waited for you like that, but you still didn't return.
But why now?
I thought it was for the better after that.
Fine.
Don't you ever come back. No.
Don't ever show up!
Don't ever show that brazen face of yours to Ga On!
You're...
too late.
So go back right now.
If not,
I don't know what I'll do.
I thought I won't return either.
I didn't want to be reminded of these horrible memories.
I thought I won't come back.
I didn't dare to face you either.
Then why?
I realized after my mom passed away last year.
I found out about everything.
About what?
That my child is alive,
and she's being raised by you.
Tell me who he is!
Who is he?
Mom.
Whose baby is that?
I'm so sorry, Mom.
Is it Sul Ak?
Did he do this to you?
Fine.
Whoever's baby that is,
you can't raise her.
Mom!
You're only in the first year of high school.
Are you going to give up your life because of this baby?
What about my life?
I gave up my life and sacrificed everything for you.
I bet my life for you.
You ungrateful wench!
- What's the matter? - It hurts!
What's wrong? Hold on.
- Mom. - Oh, no!
- Your baby... What do I do? - Mom...
Mom.
What about the baby?
Cheong Ah.
She was born two months premature...
and she wasn't breathing.
So I believed her when she said she was stillborn.
(Ahn Gui Ja)
I cleared things up after that...
and left for China with my mom.
For a year, I almost died...
from aphasia and depression,
but in the end, people who live will live.
I must have lived to see her.
At first it was a shock,
but I couldn't sleep a day.
I was so happy...
and missed her so much.
How...
could you do that?
How could you do that?
How did you endure it?
Why did you?
It was a hard time, right?
I'm sorry...
and thank you...
so much.
Goodness me.
I thought it would be easy doing the dishes,
but my whole body aches as it's work.
I only used my arms, but why is my ankle sore?
You're laid back.
You're here early.
As there's one more person in the kitchen,
I'm just going to take it easy...
thinking I'm going on a stroll.
Oh, right.
Pan Geum.
It must be good for Baek Doo and Min Joo.
If they get the restaurant,
it's exactly the same as getting his father's whole fortune.
Not likely!
Will the restaurant be his just because he works in the kitchen?
Is he trying to leave a puppet boss?
Geum Gang can do that well.
Goodness me. Don't count your chickens and snap out of it.
He got Ms. Gong because of that,
so he will take care of it and distribute it well.
I'm not going to do anything.
I'm just frustrated.
What are you going to do when you're drooped down like this all day?
A tofu restaurant near our place is looking...
for someone to work a few hours in the morning.
Would you like to do it?
No. It's okay.
I wouldn't earn much.
It was for your own good.
If I were you and my daughter is freeloading at her in-laws,
I'd do anything including washing the dishes.
What are you doing stuck in the room when you're still young.
Pan Geum.
You don't like me, right?
What are you talking about?
What is there to like or not like?
I'm saying this all for you.
If a person has a hard time,
you should comfort and console them.
How can you rub it in?
It's true that I owe you big time,
but I'm really disappointed.
I'll find a place to live as soon as possible.
Goodness me!
Dang it.
(Missing person: Lee Kyung Oh)
Where's Baek Doo?
He went out to buy some coffee.
Coffee?
It hasn't even been long.
He doesn't feel good. He must be very nervous and anxious.
He must have been scolded as he did wrong to Father.
Did everyone go somewhere?
Where's Baek Doo?
He's running an errand.
He's doing well, right?
Yes. Thanks to your care.
I almost forgot. My mom is sending...
summer radish kimchi for the staff to try,
but I'm afraid I won't be here to get it.
She's sending it through my sister,
so can you get it?
Yes. I will.
Then I'll get going.
Please take good care of Baek Doo.
Okay.
I'll be off.
She's a bother.
Before So Young and Gye Ok ruin everything,
I need to show my cards.
There must be more delicious food at that house.
Why is she sending this?
I hope this doesn't become a waste.
Who is this?
Hello?
Is this So Young?
Who is this?
It's me. Lee Kyung Oh.
It's sweet. Try it.
Okay.
Did you go to all the cold noodle restaurants?
Yes.
All of the places you wrote down that are in Seoul.
I think I ate three years' worth of cold noodles.
Shall I show you my notes?
Do you have any plans to enter the soup room?
What?
- The soup room? - Yes.
What about Baek Doo?
Baek Doo will do it, and you'll go in a different time.
What does that mean?
I feel uncertain.
He will come to his senses if he thinks...
that there's someone else.
How nervous would he be in front of his dad?
I said to encourage and compliment him even if he makes mistakes.
What compliments can I give?
He does not please me.
I'm not sure.
Say good things if he doesn't do anything wrong.
There are plenty of things to compliment if you think of it.
My goodness.
I almost forgot.
The real estate got back to me about the land in Icheon.
There's a person who wants to buy it.
Would you like to go with me?
It takes so long to get there.
Go with Sul Ak.
All right.
I'm back.
You're here early.
Yes.
What are you doing on the weekend?
Shall we go on a date?
As there's a buyer for the land in Icheon,
I would like to go with you.
I have to compromise on the price, but if I go alone...
Too bad.
It will be difficult as I have some work at the company.
Go alone. I'm sorry.
It seemed to be Lee Kyung Oh's voice.
I'm shaking.
Lee Kyung Oh.
Aren't you Jang Won's dad?
How have you been?
It was you, right?
At that time, I met you at the pasta restaurant...
and you spoke Chinese.
So Young.
(Brilliant Heritage)
- In fact, I work at Buruna Noodles. - What?
Gong Gye Ok is my sister-in-law, right?
How do you pour water so well?
- What? - I like that.
That's it!
I will act as surety for this brat.
It's weird. It's uncomfortable.
I mean Ms. Gong Gye Ok and Sul Ak.
Is it the truth, Ms. Gong? With Sul Ak?
At this point, I think you should clear things out.
