(Unasked Family)
She couldn't even drink a sip of water after it happened.
She barely moved for months,
and I thought she'd die too.
Seeing her take care of her in-laws...
when her husband isn't around anymore,
I'm moved to tears.
Are you talking about Ms. Kang Yeo Won?
I tried to talk her out of working, thinking it would be too hard.
But she insisted, saying it would help her raise Bo Ram well.
Mr. Bong.
Please take good care of my daughter-in-law.
She got married young, so she wasted her prime...
doing housework and raising her child.
She's not experienced, so she'll have a lot to learn.
But she's smart and hardworking, so she can do two people's work.
I'm not saying all this just because she's my daughter-in-law.
Mr. Bong, how old are you?
I'm 30.
You're three years younger than Yeo Won.
But at work, you're her manager and senior colleague.
So please train her well and guide her, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
I understand what you're trying to tell me.
You said you need to write a job advertisement.
What should I write?
Don't go.
Don't leave, Dong U.
I guess her husband's name is Dong U.
It must've been so hard.
Ms. Wang asked me to take care of Ms. Kang because she trusts me.
Cheon Dong, what are you going to do now?
Seven handspans and a half, Dong U.
Bo Ram has grown so much, hasn't she?
Whenever you got home late from work,
you measured Bo Ram's height like this.
Our daughter is growing so fast.
It'd be so nice to have you here by our side.
Seeing that she hasn't shown up in the neighborhood since then,
I think she gave up and left Korea.
I guess I should be relieved.
There's no one she knows in Korea.
It's much better for her...
to go back to Vietnam and start her life anew.
Of course, it's better for her.
Be happy, Trang.
What? Oh, no.
Oh, my.
Do you want something?
I'm going to sleep here tonight.
You should go in, Ms. Wang.
Why would you sleep in the restaurant when it's cold?
Gosh, it's just...
You have no idea how much I Nam moves around in his sleep.
I feel like a punching bag as he tosses so much all night long.
I can't sleep beside him.
That's ridiculous. I Nam is a quiet sleeper.
I'll bring you a thick blanket. Wait here.
I don't need it because I don't get cold easily.
I'll be fine, so please go to bed.
It'll be cold early in the morning. Turn on the electric heating pad.
I said, go back in. I want to be alone.
If you want to be alone, don't act so sad and pitiful.
You've been looking depressed whenever I saw you...
for the past few days.
Yeo Won.
I got drunk, passed out, and so caused your family inconvenience.
I'm sorry.
Please don't be.
Thank goodness Yeo Ju found you when it was cold outside.
I'm relieved.
However, are you feeling better?
Yes. I ate dried pollack soup that Yeo Ju made for me.
Yeo Ju made it?
She barely cooks even ramyeon.
She doesn't even bother taking side dishes out of the fridge.
I can see that. She always eats ramyeon or hamburger.
She has food references of an elementary school student.
How do you know that?
I didn't see what she ate. She told me when we ate together yesterday.
You brat.
Mom, you scared your youngest son.
How could you make your in-law carry you on his back?
Mr. Kang must have been surprised and tired.
Never sleep out again.
1, 2, 3, 4.
The night is so long.
Is that...
also a poem?
Yun Dong Ju's "Sleepless Night".
Oh, Yun Dong Ju?
What is your favorite poem, Mr. Kang?
I don't know any poems.
There aren't many poems I can memorize.
I'm embarrassed.
What your eyes say when our eyes meet.
I don't know, I really don't know.
It only makes my heart flutter.
Maybe I'm in love.
It sounds familiar somehow.
I guess it's a poem about unrequited love.
Who is the poet?
Joo Hyun Mi.
Poet Joo Hyun Mi?
Joo Hyun Mi?
The lyrics of a song is the same as a poem.
So please don't be embarrassed.
There must be a lot of poems you know.
She has such a kind heart.
Gosh. It's so noisy that I can't sleep.
Dad, with whom are you exchanging texts so early in the morning?
With... With Mr. Kim.
What are you talking about with another middle-aged man?
Let me see.
Hey, give me back my phone.
Dad.
You don't even let me in your room saying it's an invasion of privacy.
Let's just eat breakfast.
What's with him? Why would he suddenly talk about privacy?
That's a lovely watch.
- Is it? - You're always wearing it.
Did someone buy it for you? Was it your husband?
Yes.
He bought me this because I said it was pretty and I wanted it.
He's so attentive. I'm jealous.
You must be very happy with your husband.
My husband...
died in an accident last year.
Oh, no. Ms. Kang, I'm sorry.
That's okay.
This was the last gift from my husband.
Isn't it gorgeous?
Now I see why you worked so hard to keep your job.
I can't believe you're a single mother.
It must've been hard for you.
You're incredible.
I brought some more homemade ginger tea.
Would you like to drink it, everyone?
Well... Sounds great.
Please make mine extra strong.
Me too. Thank you, Ms. Kang.
Okay. I'll be back shortly.
I can't believe she lost her husband at such a young age.
She's a young widow.
- Her life is so unfortunate. - I know.
I am so shocked too right now.
Ms. Yang, I told you to finish the report quickly. Are you done?
I'm almost done. I'll finish it shortly.
Mr. Bae, check the reporters' schedules for the year-end party.
Yes, sir. I'll report to you shortly.
Mr. Bong, shall I make you a cup of tea as well?
I made it at home, so I can guarantee the taste.
Would you like your tea strong or not strong?
Ms. Kang, did you join the company to make tea?
Why do you always volunteer to make tea for others?
Mr. Bong.
We ran out of A4 papers, so bring a new box from the supply room.
I'll make tea.
Understood, sir.
Also,
while you're out of the office, get some fresh air on the rooftop.
But it's very cold outside.
I'll be back with paper shortly.
No.
Take your time. Don't rush.
Yes, sir.
Why can't she slack off sometimes?
What are you doing now?
I'll keep it until you pay me for my car repairs.
I told you that I would take it as security.
Thank you...
for having my watch fixed.
- Then I'll get going now. - Okay. Goodbye.
I didn't even know it was her husband's last gift.
I made her worry about it so much.
I wish I could turn back time.
(Kitchen Helper Needed)
I managed to copy what he wrote.
- Mom. - Gosh, why sneak in so quietly?
What is this?
Even Yeong Jae's handwriting is better than this.
Give it back.
I'll rewrite it for you.
Goodness, why waste a whole piece of paper?
Just give it back.
You can't just write that you need a kitchen helper.
What's the hourly wage? 10 dollars, right?
How about we just write that it'll be a minimum wage?
How could we, knowing how physically taxing the job is?
There will be a severance pay as well.
You're so generous.
(Kitchen Helper Needed)
My, you have such nice handwriting.
Gosh, Mom. This is nothing.
(Job Openings)
Are there jobs that you can apply to?
I'm searching with my eyes peeled, but it's not easy.
Honey, close your eyes.
Why all of a sudden?
Come on. Just close your eyes.
I'm not trying to kiss you.
Okay, there.
What do you see?
Nothing. It's just dark.
Right? Ji Yeong, that's probably our future.
Gosh, seriously.
Stop joking around.
I'm not joking. I really think that will be the case.
Honey, why don't you just work at my mom's restaurant?
You can start out as an employee...
and inherit the restaurant down the road.
What do you think of this plan? Very enticing, right?
You know how fussy and scary she can be when she works.
You want me to walk into a tiger's den?
Gosh, no way.
Just the thought of spending the whole day with her makes me uneasy.
Yeo Won worked with Mom for years.
Why can't you?
Someone like Yeo Won is definitely rare to come by.
What I'm saying is, not everyone can do it.
My goodness.
The mothers from the kindergarten might come later.
You should go home.
Okay.
How could he have no ambition or determination?
No one would understand me.
- Yeo Ju. - What is it?
I'm planning to tell my mother about this delivery job soon,
but I'm not ready yet mentally.
Please make sure your father doesn't tell anyone until then.
I already told him to pretend he doesn't know about it.
Don't worry.
Thanks a lot.
I'll gladly hand over 10 easy jobs to you today.
That's okay. Why don't you buy me a meal instead?
That's nothing hard. Sure.
You no longer have feelings for the owner of the necklace, right?
"The necklace"?
How do you know about it?
You told me all about it when you were drunk.
Have a good day, Yeo Ju.
Don't be too disheartened.
There are plenty more fish in the sea.
(Dad)
- Hi, Dad. - Yeo Ju.
Shouldn't we tell Ms. Wang?
No. I told you that we can't, Dad.
I Nam is a full-fledged adult.
It's not something you should meddle in.
All right. Drive safely.
I can't just step in because of I Nam,
but I can't turn a blind eye to it because of Ms. Wang.
I don't know what to do.
What's the matter, Mr. Kang?
You keep walking on eggshells around Ms. Wang.
Do you feel guilty about something?
I can finally relax a bit.
You should have this as your dessert.
I never worry about getting sick thanks to your bean smoothie.
You must be tired. Please sit down.
Well...
Mr. Kang, be honest with me.
- Pardon? - What did I Nam say...
when he slept over at your place?
He rarely drinks.
Didn't he tell you that he drank because he's stressed out...
from his studies?
Oh, actually...
He fell asleep as soon as he arrived at my place.
He's very tall. He must've been heavy for you to carry.
Thank you for looking after him.
Don't mention it. We're family, you know.
Oh, boy.
Well, you should get going.
Ms. Wang, I got this. Just do what you need to do in the kitchen.
Gosh, just leave it. I can just take my time with everything.
It'll help me digest, so let me help you.
I keep getting help from you. I feel bad.
Product Development needs your team's help on a few things...
regarding the launch of our black sugar soy milk.
They want your team's opinion since you guys came up with the idea.
That being said, I'd like a meeting with your team first.
We'll work around your schedule.
Oh, it's Seon Hwa.
She wants to visit the director as the holidays are near.
She really wants you to come this time.
When are you free?
Well, all right. I'll check my schedule.
- See you. - All right.
Cheon Dong.
About Su Ji...
Does she not contact you personally these days?
I haven't heard from her for a while.
Why do you ask? Are you worried she might bother me again?
- Take it easy. - See you.
(Cheon Dong, call me.)
Alice.
Alice!
Yes, Ms. Hwang.
What are you doing stuck in the studio?
Go outside and sort out the recyclable materials.
Sure.
Shall I do some work too?
All right.
Let's see.
Cheon Dong, call me.
Gosh, that's so loud. Why did she leave her phone here?
Who's calling?
(My brother)
Ms. Hwang, I'm done with the recycles.
"My brother"?
Alice, is Mr. Bong Cheon Dong your brother?
Bong Seon Hwa, Bong Cheon Dong...
You two are siblings!
Follow me.
Do you not hear me?
- I said, follow me. - Okay.
Darn it. The more I think about it, the angrier I get, honey.
What now?
I'm talking about Trang.
I should've called the police.
I should've just fired her when I found out she actually...
speaks Korean fluently but acted like she couldn't.
I bet everything was planned out before she started working for us.
Let's just call the police, honey.
We have no evidence.
We searched her bags and even her room but found nothing.
I feel bad because we might be falsely accusing her.
Who knows? Maybe she swallowed it.
What?
Do you actually think that makes sense?
Come on. You've seen it on the news. That's what smugglers do.
Let's report this to the police.
Is that the only ring you have?
You have a lot of jewelry.
If we report her, people might say we're discriminating against her.
A bad rumor about us might break out, so don't do it.
Just think that you learned a life lesson.
And hire a new housekeeper.
I'm so afraid of hiring a stranger.
Anyway, Jenny,
why haven't you eaten well?
You lost so much weight in the past few days.
She must be protesting because you kicked out the person who fed her.
Gosh, you.
I'm so upset.
Let me look at you.
I am fluent in Korean too.
I'm really good at making Korean food.
If you hire me, I'll work really hard.
We already hired a lady from Yanbian.
I understand your predicament, but you should go somewhere else.
Hi, Mom.
Did you receive the money I sent to you last month?
Yes. I'll send you money again this month, so please don't worry.
I was kicked out without getting this month's salary.
I'm worried.
I have to find a job as soon as possible.
I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you sooner.
Why didn't you tell me?
You said you knew that your brother and I knew each other.
Well...
Did Mr. Bong ask you not to tell me?
- No, he didn't. - Well, I can see why, though.
I didn't get along well with him before.
So I guess you felt uncomfortable telling me.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize...
for being Mr. Bong's sister.
Order everything you want.
Pardon me?
Choose what you want.
Hello?
I'm out for dinner.
Where? I'm at the Italian restaurant we often come to.
Suit yourself.
Don't feel burdened and enjoy it.
I'm treating you as a boss.
Consider this a work get together...
to build a bond between work colleagues.
I see.
By the way, about your brother...
Is he seeing anyone?
Pardon?
Does he have a girlfriend?
I don't think he has a girlfriend.
Is that right?
Then what type of girl does he like?
I am not sure.
A feminine girl like you?
Or a sophisticated and confident girl like me?
Or...
Hey, we're here.
- That was quick. - Yes.
Ji Hun.
Do you two know each other?
(Unasked Family)
Ms. Hwang found out that I'm your sister.
Su Ji doesn't like me. Did she say anything to you?
Did you like the restaurant?
Do you want to go there this evening with me and your brother?
Get out if you don't have any money.
- I said, get out. - Ma'am, please.
Il Nam, I'm so cold.
I'm begging you. Please let me stay here just for tonight.
You're too young to be alone.
- Aren't you going to get remarried? - Get remarried?
She said she doesn't want to.
