(Episode 40)
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Why?
I came here because you like this. Don't you like tteokbokki?
No, I do.
You'll get sick. Eat slowly.
You came with your girlfriend instead of your mom today.
- My girlfriend? - Yes.
She's pretty. You two look great together.
She's my sister.
Really?
I thought she was your girlfriend because you two don't look alike.
I said you'll get sick.
Look at me.
Don't we look alike?
I... I don't know.
It's too hot.
It's hot. Can we have some water?
Did you see how mad Seok Hoon was? I guess we were too harsh to her.
We weren't harsh. How can she quit her job?
I couldn't even get angry at her properly because he took her out.
You took enough of your anger out.
Yes, stop it already. You two are embarrassing us.
They are both emotional because they take after me.
Please do understand.
Ms. Kim, will you give this to Seol Hwa?
What is this?
Application for Channel P for the experienced?
Do you want Seol Hwa to try to apply here?
Yes. Tell her to make sure...
No, tell her that she must apply, no matter what.
Thank you for being so considerate about her.
Don't thank him yet. You don't know if she'll make it.
I mean, it's Channel P.
She will make it. I'll bet my hands on this.
Why don't you apply as well? They're looking for reporters.
Are you telling me to become a reporter?
Yes, give it a try. You might make it.
Yes, that sounds good.
What's with you all? I want to become an announcer.
Reporters and announcers are both great jobs.
You cried last time while drinking, saying that you always fail.
That was...
Forget it. You just go ahead and take care of Seol Hwa.
Don't worry about my job.
Hey, Sae Na.
What's with her?
This is so funny. I can't believe Doo Na didn't let me read this.
Why won't the door open?
Did someone lock the door?
Oh, Dad!
What do you need?
Hey, you're here. Well, the lights were on.
Move aside. Someone must've locked it.
Dad, I think accidentally left the lights on.
I'll find the key and go in and turn the lights off.
- Really? - Yes.
That's not what's important.
Honey, Seol Hwa quit her job.
Why?
Is it because of me?
- No, it's not... - You're right.
It's because of that program.
Seol Hwa was stressed out...
because she couldn't tell anyone about it.
She would've told us already if you had started another business.
- Where is she? - I don't know.
She cried a lot, then she went out with Seok Hoon.
Mom, why did you lie?
He needs to feel guilty by hearing that she quit because of him.
And if he feels guilty, he may start making dumplings again.
Hey.
Stop reading comic books in that room. You're wasting electricity.
Okay.
Min Kyu, it's me. Open the door.
Doo Na.
Hey.
Why are you still here? You almost got caught.
Can't I just get caught and ask them to take me in?
Hey, your sister and my brother have history between them.
Do you think our family will welcome you?
They'll kick me out for taking you in.
You're right. You shouldn't get kicked out in this weather.
Then Doo Na, may I have a bowl of noodles before I leave?
What? A bowl of noodles?
I wanted to have noodles, so I went to the kitchen...
Hey, did you go outside?
- What's with you? - No one was home.
Anyway, I was about to eat, but your father suddenly came in.
What?
Did Dad catch you? I hope not.
No way. I was very quick.
I went under the table.
Your dad ended up eating all of the noodles,
and I just smelled your dad's feet from under the table.
Doo Na, may I please have one last bowl of noodles?
You're a rich kid. Why are you mooching off of me?
Why? Why? Be quiet. You're going to get caught.
That hurts, but if I can have noodles, you can hit me more.
Just one bowl, please?
My goodness. She had to quit because of me.
What will I do?
Exactly. Seol Hwa was so sad because she thought...
you had to sell the store for nothing.
- Really? - Yes.
She was crying her eyes out.
Oh, no.
I should go and comfort her.
No, stop it.
Even if you say it's okay, that won't console her that much.
I mean, her dad is out in the cold working hard because of her.
Is that so?
What if you say that you'll open a dumpling store again?
That might make her feel better.
You should take the store while the offer is still valid.
If you take too long, they will take the offer back.
What should we tell them?
I'll tell them that I'm sorry.
And I'll tell them not to worry because I'll find another job.
Hey, it's not that easy to find a job.
The world isn't so easy.
My gosh, you're odd.
You're usually full of yourself. How do you know it's hard to get a job?
If it was an easy job, would the three of you be unemployed?
You are very accurate.
Mom.
You! Do you understand?
Okay? Go in.
- Be good. - Son.
Stop it already. I know you're faking it.
Mother, I was really angry at her.
You... I scolded her a lot, you see.
Okay, sure. Let's say that you did.
You are good at everything but acting.
Mom, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I thought you'd worry.
I'll find a job soon, so don't worry.
How can you let us hear about you from someone else?
That's what I'm disappointed about. What can you not tell me?
Okay.
And take this. That other producer guy brought it.
Application for Channel P for the experienced?
We need to talk.
- Right now? - Yes.
Joon Sang.
Yes, Grandma.
- You're here, too. - Yes, Mother.
Joon Sang, will you teach me this?
Ms. Kim sent me something, but I can't see it.
Oh, it's a link to an article about your health.
Here.
Let's see. I can't read it well because my eyes are dull.
I'll read it for you.
Mother, is it something urgent?
No, we'll talk later.
Grandma, let's go to your room. I was about to bring you some tea.
My goodness, really?
You're the best.
Let's go.
I'm sorry about what happened.
Your sister upset me, so I accidentally spilled the beans.
It's okay. I had to tell them anyway.
I actually feel relieved now that they know.
Ji Sang, what's this application form?
I told you I'd find you a job.
At Channel P?
- They'd never hire me. - Why not?
My family caused them a loss, and they were mad about it.
We had a huge fight. Why would they want to hire me?
You'll definitely get in.
I'm 120 percent sure. Just apply.
Are you the son of the CEO or something?
How did you know?
Stop talking nonsense.
There aren't many job offers these days. Should I just give it a try?
You should. It's not like you to back off.
All right. I'll give it a try.
You should apply too, okay?
Okay. Make sure you apply.
- Ji Sang. - What's the matter?
It's about Joon Sang's show.
It was made by your company, right? Who directed it?
Seol Hwa and I did.
Seol Hwa?
Yes, she was my colleague.
What is she like?
She's pretty.
Be serious.
She really is pretty.
Is that all?
Of course not.
She's pretty and kind at the same time.
She's competent, too. That's why I like her.
Do you like her?
Yes. I even quit my job because she got fired unfairly.
Oh, my.
Did you quit because of her?
You never listened to me when I told you to quit.
Are you aware that your brother is joining...
your dad's company on the condition that she gets a job?
Yes, I am. I even handed her an application form myself.
What is that girl?
How did she get you two of you under her thumb?
What are you talking about?
Your brother is joining the company for her,
and you quit your job because of her.
Do you still not think you're under her thumb?
That's not true.
Also, don't talk badly about her.
She's a nice girl.
What?
What did she do to my son?
I didn't believe Ms. Sa,
but is that girl really after our family's money?
Why do you even bother to knock? Come in, Doo Na.
Seol Hwa.
Oh, my. I thought it was Doo Na.
I'm sorry.
I'm done. Come on in.
Well...
I thought I should move your stuff back here.
Thank you.
What were you doing?
I was filling out a job application form.
I see.
- Is that what your name means? - Yes.
It means a flower in the snow.
That's why I love winter.
A flower in the snow?
That suits you.
Do you even have to write about your family members?
Yes. Not all companies require it,
but this one apparently does.
Father, Mother, Doo Na, and Sae Na. Where am I?
Why didn't you write my name?
- Sorry? - I'm your brother.
Well...
I was about to. I'll write your name, too.
All right.
Wait.
Wouldn't it look strange if my last name is Han?
Do you think so?
I'll explain to them.
Okay. Good luck.
Why does he ask a question like that?
And why does he stand so close? My heart is pounding.
Stop beating so fast for no reason.
He's just my brother.
It's hot.
Slow down.
Doo Na, it tastes so good. Can we have some more?
I already made us three portions.
Slow down.
Gosh.
- Dr. Han. - Seok Hoon.
- Let me explain. - You don't need to.
Dr. Bae.
Are you sleeping here tonight, too?
Did you know?
How did you know?
I hear you snore all night long.
And you keep coming here secretly.
How would I not know?
Doo Na.
What's going on between you two?
We're just friends.
You tell him.
Dr. Han.
I had nowhere to go. I'm sorry.
Did you run away from home because you quit your job?
There's another problem, too.
I thought you'd need some time, so I remained quiet.
But this can't go on.
It's cowardly of you to hide here.
Come out, you two.
Are you kicking me out?
Seok Hoon, it's cold outside.
He might freeze to death. That's why I took him in.
Dr. Han, I have nowhere to go.
Please show me some mercy.
I'm getting worried about Min Kyu.
What if he tries to do something bad?
He doesn't have the courage to do anything dangerous.
What do you know about my son?
He can do anything if he wants to.
He once even tried to kill himself in front of me.
- Sorry? - Never mind.
Anyway, where is he now?
Mr. Kim, do you think...
he could be staying with the Geum family?
They went bankrupt. Unless he's a complete fool,
he wouldn't go and live with a family that his mother destroyed.
You're right. He became a doctor because he's a smart boy.
Min Kyu and Min Hee are giving me so many headaches.
I have no time to take care of my new business.
Mr. Kim, please take care of the preparation.
- Okay? - Don't worry.
I'm the only sane person in this family.
Have you lost your mind?
I'll be careful.
My girl.
- It's your first day at work. - Yes.
You're so pretty.
In order to get over Seok Hoon,
think of yourself as PJ Group's daughter-in-law.
Treat Chairman Yoon as if he was your father-in-law.
- What? - That way,
all their buildings can later on become yours.
Behave yourself.
Even if things don't go well with their second son,
you might end up with their first son.
Their first son knows about me. How can you say that?
I explained everything to Ms. Mo.
It won't get in your way.
Also, why do you suddenly talk about their first son?
You're so fickle. I can't trust you.
I have a hunch, that's why.
I thought Ms. Mo had the most power,
but she doesn't.
Ms. Eun seems to have a soft spot for the first son.
I think we should change our strategies.
Do you think you can have everything you want?
Don't you care about what I want?
You and I, we want the same things.
You never know what will happen.
If we find their weakness,
we can do anything.
Just trust me, okay?
I'll get going.
Have a nice day, the future daughter-in-law of PJ Group.
My daughter is the daughter-in-law of the CEO of PJ Group.
No.
My son-in-law is the heir of PG Group.
Producer Geum.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to apply for a producer position.
At our station?
You're shameless. How dare you dream of working here?
Why can't I? I'm experienced enough.
Are you talking about the experience of putting our company in trouble?
What is this?
General Manager Bae. You're here.
Yes.
What's going on between you and Ms. Geum?
My goodness. It's nothing.
Producer Geum, you can apply, but don't get your hopes up.
Let's go.
Are you acquainted with Producer Geum?
A bit.
Why is she here?
She was here to apply for our company. She's shameless.
Why? Did she something happen between her and Channel P?
She was in charge of one of our outsourcing program,
and her father was a guest on the show.
We suffered some damage because of those garbage dumplings.
Really?
What happened to their store? Did it affect them?
They had to close the store.
They went out of business and Producer Geum was fired.
I have something to say.
What is it?
I want to change my name and register it.
- What? - Son.
What do you mean?
My real name is Geum Han Dol.
My name, Han Seok Hoon, was given to me by a priest.
As your son, I want to use my real name now.
Well... Yes... Yes, that's true.
But you did live quite a while as Han Seok Hoon,
so let's think it through carefully.
He's right.
People won't recognize you with the name Geum Han Dol.
She's right.
You also have to change your nationality. It's too complicated.
Seol Hwa and Seok Hoon. Our family is in another mess.
Don't you...
want me to be legally registered as your son?
No way. That's nonsense. Right, Honey?
What? Of course.
Let's think about it.
Okay.
Also, I have one more thing to say.
Dr. Bae.
Yes, Dr. Han.
Hey, why are you here?
What brings you here so early? We kicked you out.
I came back.
Why? You should go home.
Dad, he couldn't go home.
I brought him back in because he almost froze to death.
- Doo Na! - He quit work...
and it seemed like he's adrift. Why don't we take him in?
Thank you.
- Mr. Geum, give me a second. - You.
What is with you? Why do you want to stay here?
I really have nowhere else to go.
Also, I feel so bad about the store going out of business.
I want to help you.
What does that have to do with you?
- Well... - What if your mother finds out?
She even tried to harm our son by hiring people.
She doesn't know that I'm here.
Then go somewhere else before she finds out.
- No. - What?
I can't...
go anywhere because I'm suffering from a frostbite.
My foot hurts too much.
Min Kyu is hurt.
Mr. Geum, help me.
- Is he leaving? - No.
I have no idea why he's being so persistent.
His mom will make a scene if she finds out.
What if she finds out?
I'll take care of her if she ever finds out.
Anyway, Honey. What should we do?
- About what? - About the family register.
Why do you think he brought that up?
I don't know.
It's something that has to be done if he was really our son, though.
Yes, if he was really our son, we would've done it already.
Should we...
just forget about everything and list him as our son?
- What? - Geum Han Dol.
Our real son.
Stop it. What are you saying?
It's just a suggestion.
That's impossible.
He's doing more for us than we are doing for him.
How can we change his real identity on top of all that?
What if he ends up finding his real family?
Do you think he'll find his real family?
That can happen in life.
And he must find them.
My gosh, I don't want him to. I don't care.
If he finds his real parents, we'll be strangers.
He'll hate us as soon as he gets his memory back anyway.
I don't know. I'm not going to think about it.
Where are you going?
I'm going to work.
Make sure you stay burdened.
What kind of a job does she have?
(Geum's Dumplings)
Okay.
Let's keep this up until Father comes back.
Dr. Han, this is great.
I was so concerned since you went out of business because of me.
But you opened a new store.
Why did we go out of business because of you?
Well...
Anyway, I was of no help back then,
but I'll help you as much as I can for a while.
Okay. And it's only for a while.
You should go home soon. Your mother must be worried.
Son.
- Min Kyu, take this. - Okay.
What's this?
We started the business, so we should give out some rice cakes.
Why rice cakes?
It's a custom to give them out to neighbors and customers...
when you start a new business.
It sounds good.
- It's so hot. - Stop.
We haven't even given any to Ms. Eun.
I'm sorry.
Son.
Will you take this to Ms. Eun? We should say thanks.
Okay, Mother.
Look who this is.
Hello.
Welcome. What brings you here?
We opened the store today. I came by to say thank you.
I see. Come in and have some tea.
Come inside.
Mother.
Did you have something to tell me?
I guess you finally thought of me.
- Pardon? - I thought you forgot about me...
and the family because of that girl.
What are you talking about? Who's that girl?
Producer Geum Seol Hwa.
How do you know about Seol Hwa?
Look at you turning blue just because I mentioned her name.
Is she that important to you?
Yes. She is very important to me.
Is she so important that you came to work for the company?
Do you think this job is a joke? Do I look like a joke to you?
You and Seol Hwa are two separate issues.
What?
Fine. Let's say that it's separate.
Then what about your job?
How dare you decide to work at the company...
in exchange for getting her a job?
You are nothing in this family.
Mother, I am a son of this family.
What did you say?
What did you just say?
What do you think you're doing?
- Oh, Mother. - Honey.
Have you been treating Joon Sang like this all along?
Have you been fooling me?
(Golden Pocket)
I was the one being rude.
Joon Sang makes me uncomfortable.
But ask anyone in this world.
Can anyone treat their own child and someone else's child the same?
You said you moved on. Why do you still have this?
Did he start a restaurant without telling me?
I'm going to do everything I can for you.
Seok Hoon, don't you want your memory back?
