(Episode 1)
The wind blows
I see a pub on the roadside
It would be disappointing
If I just passed by
We offer each other a glass of wine
My day will come some day
Here I go, I lived
Another day bravely
It's me, it's me
Good job. Thank you. Here you go.
Here you go.
Why?
It's my gift for Grandpa Bong Chun's birthday.
My goodness. I couldn't even pay you that much.
I can't thank you enough.
What are neighbors for? I'm off.
Wait...
Stay for lunch at least.
Gosh, no. I'm up to my neck in work.
Call me anytime.
I'm Yang Nam Jin from Namjin Employment Agency.
- Be careful. - Okay.
Oh, no. The stone wall collapsed.
What should we do?
You know what to do. Call Nam Jin.
Nam Jin, my toilet is unclogged.
Can't you help me first?
Don't say that.
He promised to unclog the drain in my house first.
Good. It's going down the drain.
It feels so good as if I ate a whole bowl of radish water kimchi.
I also replaced the drain filter for free.
Did you? Thank you.
- Go back safely. - Wait. It's 30 dollars, ma'am.
Oh, boy. I bet you forgot about it.
I gave the money to your work colleague before.
What? Sang Hyun received it?
Seon Hui.
Don't you miss me, your daddy?
I miss my daughter so much.
You're mistaken.
Seon Hui, there's nothing going on between me and her.
Don't lie to me.
You went to a karaoke with her alone.
Seon... Seon Hui.
Seon Hui.
You're Seon Hui, right?
- You're my daughter, right? - What are you doing?
Seon Hui, I've been looking all over for you.
Can't you recognize me?
You brat. You've grown up so much.
- You've grown up into a lady. - Gosh. He must've lost his mind.
- Honey, help me. - Sir. Sir, what are you doing now?
Seon Hui, let's not part from each other again.
- Let's not part from each other. - Let go of me.
- Seon Hui, we shouldn't be parted. - You mistook me for someone else.
- Let's not part from each other. - I have a dad. I said I have a dad.
- Seon Hui, we shouldn't be parted. - What's wrong with you?
- Have you lost your mind? - What's wrong with you? Ma'am!
Gosh. What's his problem?
Oh, no. Please stop.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Gosh. Seriously.
What? Nam Jin. Nam Jin is here.
Nam Jin, who took me in, is here.
Dear me. Let's go. Let's go.
Nam Jin.
Ouch. Hey, be gentle.
- Just stay still. - Gosh.
She really looked like...
Seon Hui when she was a child.
And her name was Seon Hui too. Ouch. My goodness.
It's done.
Are you sober now?
Shall I get you some medicine for your hangover?
That's not necessary. I'm sorry, Nam Jin.
If you're really sorry, don't drink for a while.
You asked me for an advance and spent it on drinking so many times.
I'm too ashamed to face you.
Nam Jin, give me another chance.
I promise you I'll make sure to quit drinking this time.
If I can't quit drinking, I'll be your son.
Hello? Yang Nam Jin from Namjin Employment Agency.
How can I help you?
Pardon? My mom?
I mean, why would you put gasoline in a diesel car?
What are you going to do? Tell me.
I'm sorry.
I called a tow truck, so have it fixed at a repair center.
We'll pay the full repair cost.
Listen to me.
I bought that car only two months ago. It's a brand new car.
We'll take full responsibility if you have any problems later.
- So please... - Forget it.
Just buy me a new one.
I want you to change my car back to how it was before what happened.
- Mom. - Nam Jin.
What happened?
Actually, I was refueling his car...
Well... You'll know if you watch the CCTV footage,
but my mom asked you twice if you wanted gasoline.
Look here. The two of you...
I think that's why you couldn't answer my mom.
But I understand it's important for you.
Fortunately, the engine was turned off while she was refueling.
So if you have the engine cleaned, you will have no problem.
I know it because I used to work at a car repair shop.
Well... You will also pay the car rental expenses...
while my car is being fixed, right?
Yes. Of course.
What will you do if there's a problem?
If there's any problem,
please...
contact me.
I'll fix it for you.
Then write a written promise that you will buy me a new car...
if there's any problem because of what happened here.
Okay. I'll do that.
Thank you, sir.
Gosh. My stomach hurts. I'm so hungry.
Ms. Yang.
Where did she go? Why hasn't she come back yet?
Gosh. I need to eat something.
Oh, man. I'm starving.
Oh, no. There's nothing to eat at home.
Hello?
Who is it?
Hello. Excuse us.
Your landlord asked us to replace the insect screens in your house.
- Insect screens? - Yes.
But summer has gone. Why would he replace the insect screens now?
I wish he would replace our heating system instead.
Shall I start with that room?
Well, sure. Wherever you want.
- Wait. Excuse me. - Yes?
Did my landlord say he'd sell this house?
We don't know that.
I'll start with your bathroom.
- Where is the bathroom? - Well, it's over there.
- I see. - Okay.
Oh, dear. I'm so hungry. Darn.
You're mad at me, aren't you?
No.
I'm sorry.
The repair cost alone will be a few thousands of dollars. I'm worried.
You have asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.
Why do you keep doing tough work?
I know that you're working so hard.
How could I stay at home when my arms and legs are fine?
We can pay off the debt sooner if both of us work.
If it makes your condition worse, we'll have to spend even more money.
You haven't paid off your student loan.
We also got a loan for the deposit of our yearly rental house.
Gosh. Come on. Don't worry about anything.
My loving mother.
Mom, can't you trust me? It's me, Yang Nam Jin.
I'll take care of it. It's no big deal. So don't worry.
Just take good care of your health, okay?
Anyway, Dae Sik's dad is such an evil man.
He... What's it called? I bet he is insured.
He could've dealt with it through insurance.
Your legs hurt, right? Shall I give you a piggyback ride?
No. My legs don't hurt.
I'm fine.
Here. Don't be like that and hop on.
- I said I'm fine. - I want to do it.
- Nam Jin. - Yes?
Let's buy the same car when we make a lot of money.
Which car? The one that had a problem?
All right. Let's do that.
And let's make sure to go to Dae Sik's gas station.
All right. Let's do that too.
Wait. Shall I just buy you that gas station?
Oh, my. My son is so funny.
Gosh, I'm hungry.
I'm craving your kimchi jjigae.
Kimchi jjigae?
I could make anything for you...
if my precious son wants it.
- Let's go. - Okay, let's go.
We're almost there.
All right.
We're here.
Where is that woman?
I'm going to starve to death.
Why you...
Look, if you have boarder,
you should at least feed me on time.
How could you go out and forget to cook for me?
Stay out of my way when I tell you nicely.
I'm very upset right now.
Why are you upset?
Did something happen?
- My goodness. - What is it?
Give me something to eat.
I'm starving.
I can't stand this any longer.
Let's see the end of this.
- Mom, Mom. - Let's see the end.
Calm down and relax.
What is it? Did something happen?
Forget it. That's none of your business.
I'll feed you on time, so pay me.
What?
The boarding expenses.
Oh, that. Well...
I'll pay you next month.
Put this month's on credit.
You only paid half last month.
I don't remember that.
What? Wait.
What happened to your face?
Do you even...
get in fights now?
Thinking about the way you get under people's skin,
it's a miracle you didn't get beat up already.
Are you serious? Are you done?
How could you say that?
- I didn't say anything wrong. - Mom, Mom.
- Stop it, stop it. - Tell me if I did.
(Jin Ah)
Goodness.
Give me a second, Mom.
Don't fight.
Who is it? Is it Jin Ah?
Can't you tell by the way he was smiling from ear to ear?
Tomorrow?
Of course, I'll go pick you up.
- Incheon International Airport? - Yes.
Don't come too early.
You waited over two hours last time.
See you tomorrow.
Why? Did Jin Ah ask you to pick her up at the airport again?
Yes.
Why does she always tell my precious son...
to come and go?
You aren't her porter.
Why would you wait on her hand and foot?
Come on, Mom. I do it because I want to.
Eat your dinner.
Nam Jin, you're a romanticist.
You're just like when I was young.
I was totally devoted...
to Seon Hui's mom.
How could she leave you for someone else...
when your business failed in China when you were so devoted?
Go on and eat.
You should eat well and live a better life.
Only then will you be able to face your daughter confidently.
My goodness.
Why? Are you done already? Have some more.
I'm done. I'm going to wash up.
Mom, the toothbrushes are gone.
Did you throw them away?
Why would I throw away a fine toothbrush?
All the toothbrushes are gone.
That's weird.
Where did they go?
Tomorrow?
She's arriving tomorrow morning, so go and pick her up.
You have to stop by the store at the airport anyway.
Do I really have to do this?
I thought it'd be better for you to get to know each other...
in a natural setting rather than setting you up on a blind date.
You don't like blind dates anyway.
- The daughter of President Han? - Yes.
Her name is Han Seung Joo...
and she's 28 years old.
She majored in piano in the US.
She doesn't know anything about this.
Okay.
I'm just going to meet her, so don't get your hopes up.
Don't be so on edge and be nice to her.
If you become part of that family,
Hyungang will become ours.
It'll become mine one way or another...
although it wouldn't be a bad idea to make it happen earlier.
Right, your grandfather didn't go to work again today.
Really?
He never missed a day of work,
but he's starting to miss work often nowadays.
Is he sick?
Rumor has it...
Never mind.
Let's go see him this weekend.
We'll find out if we see him in person...
if the rumors are true or not.
Rumors?
It's nothing.
Excuse me.
I have a very important meeting...
and asked someone else to go pick you up.
He's tall, handsome and young.
He's an attractive man.
Who in the world did he send?
Dad is always off the wall.
Where is he?
Even if you're in the midst of thousands of people,
I can find you right away.
I missed you.
Is this the police?
Yes, I'm at the arrival floor of the airport.
I'd like to report someone for sexually assaulting me.
Who are you?
Did my dad send you?
This is unbelievable. How could you hug me when we first met?
I hate things like that.
I'm sorry.
You looked just like my girlfriend from behind.
I was mistaken.
Your girlfriend?
You said you'd find her right away even in a huge crowd.
How could you mistake me for her?
It isn't an excuse.
I really thought you were her.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
You have been connected.
How can I help you?
Look, I really wasn't sexually molesting you.
I'm sure you could think that since I hugged you.
I can't take it back,
but you can slap me if that would make you...
feel any better.
Slap you? I'm quite strong.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
I made a mistake, so if that would make you feel better,
I'll take it.
Go ahead. Slap me.
Slap me now.
Thank you.
I'll repay you when I see you again.
You're Han Seung Joo, right?
I'm Choi Si Woo.
Your father asked me to pick you up at the airport...
since you're his only daughter.
I see. Hello.
- It's nice to see you. - You too.
You're well versed in fashion.
You chose European winter color and layered look.
You're as good as an expert.
Thank you.
- Can I take it as a compliment? - Of course.
It's a compliment and a gesture of good will.
- Let's go. - Okay.
By the way, are you close to my dad?
Yes. I'm close to your father.
No way. That can't be true.
My dad isn't the type of person that young people would like.
We're not close as friends. We're more like business partners.
Hang on a second.
Did my dad say he would stop working with you if you didn't pick me up?
My dad is so mean.
Even though I'm his daughter,
but making you do his errand saying he'll stop working with you...
- is tyranny. - Is that so?
You have to say no next time so you won't be treated unjustly again.
I apologize to you for my dad's behavior.
I can take a taxi.
So you can leave now.
No.
I would have regretted if I hadn't come here.
- Jin Ah! - Nam Jin.
I love your smell.
I love yours too.
I meant to say the romantic thing when I saw you.
You did? I'm excited to hear it.
Go ahead.
I forgot the words because I got so excited to see you.
I knew it.
Let's go.
My goodness. Haven't you scrapped this truck yet?
It still works fine. Why would I scrap it?
- Be quiet. - Why?
If you call it lousy, it might get upset and refuse to move.
Gosh. That's ridiculous.
Is it not working?
It's... It's too hot in here, right?
Shall I turn on the air conditioner?
It's not hot at all.
- It's cold. - Is it?
Then shall I turn on the heater?
It's not that cold.
All right. Then we'll set off now.
I'll take you to the destination safely.
So my queen, Jung Jin Ah,
enjoy your trip to your hometown.
I guess you've been hosting a lot of events.
Your comments are so natural.
Can you tell?
I've been very busy performing gigs...
at a lot of 60th and 70th birthday parties.
By the way, I think something bad happened to my family.
My mom hasn't answered my calls since yesterday.
Really?
Why didn't you ask me to visit your mother?
She looked fine when I visited her a week ago.
Let's go. I miss my parents.
Okay.
He...
Stay in the car.
He doesn't look like a nice person.
So was it her?
Well... She's pretty.
I understand why he mistook me for her.
Why did you come out so suddenly?
I'm very sorry.
My truck is really old.
It does unexpected things sometimes.
If your truck has a problem, have it fixed...
or scrap it.
You shouldn't drive around in a truck like this.
Why would you say I should scrap it?
It's a smart truck and means a lot to me.
See? It stopped right before it scratched your car.
And no one got injured.
Just move your car.
I don't want to waste any more time because of a person like you.
"A person like me"?
What do you mean by that?
What are you doing now?
Are you picking a fight with me?
I would never do that.
If I picked a fight with a man who has such an expensive car,
I would end up in big trouble.
However, you talked down to me, whom you met for the first time,
as if you looked down on me.
I don't think that's an appropriate behavior either.
It's a form of violence too.
What did you say?
I'll move my truck, so you can leave first.
Why did you act like you have a twisted mind?
- What do you mean? - This truck caused it.
Since you didn't hit the car, you just had to apologize.
But he looked down on my beloved truck.
I hate it when people...
judge others by their appearances without getting to know them.
You're right,
but that's not how it works in this world.
Jin Ah.
Dae Sik, how did you know I was coming?
Something bad happened. Your father...
is undergoing surgery.
Surgery?
- Why? - Let's go to the hospital first.
Follow me.
(Jinse Hospital)
(Operation Room)
Mom.
Jin Ah.
What? Heart failure?
Yes.
Are you saying he's undergoing heart surgery?
Yes.
I'm so worried about your father.
He'll be fine.
I'm sure...
- he'll survive. - Right.
- How did you pay the surgery fee? - What?
About that... Well, let's...
talk about it later.
Mother, please drink this.
I don't want to.
Since Jin Ah, the queen of fortune, is here, Father will be fine.

(Ahn Seok Ho, Yang Nam Jin)
(Test Result)
(The probability of paternity is 99.9 percent.)
I have found him.
Yes, I'm sure.
I just received the test results.
Chairman Ahn,
are you okay?
Yes, I am.
The grandson I thought was dead is alive.
It's such a big surprise...
and a relief that I don't know what to say.
I almost stopped breathing...
when I saw the test results.
How did he grow up?
Whom does he take after?
What does he do?
Is he married?
He takes after the late Vice Chairman Ahn a lot.
He's bright and honest.
He lives with his widowed mother...
and runs an employment agency in a marketplace.
An employment agency?
It's called an employment agency,
but he's more of a handyman.
He's single.
He seemed to be struggling financially.
This is all my fault. It's my fault.
What should I do?
I need to see him with my own eyes.
Bring him to me immediately.
Don't tell him anything.
Yes, Chairman Ahn.
Just give me some time.
He ended up finding him.
He can be very persistent.
(Namjin Employment Agency)
Excuse me.
How can I help you?
Is this Namjin Employment Agency?
Yes, it is.
I'd like to hire you for some work.
Please have a seat.
What kind of work is it?
I'll meet Yang Nam Jin and tell him directly.
What?
But I'm...
Well, I'll try calling him,
so wait a minute please.
He looks familiar. Where did I see him?
Why isn't he answering his phone?
He isn't answering his phone.
Would you come back later if it isn't anything urgent?
I'll wait.
You can also do that.
(Operation Room)
Jin Ah.
She's my wife.
Move away, Yang Nam Jin.
What?
Kang Dae Sik, are you out of your mind?
Isn't that right, Mother?
You registered our marriage, right?
That means she's my wife, right?
What?
What are you talking about?
Mom.
What is Dae Sik saying right now?
(It's My Life)
That makes me even more curious.
Why are you trying to have me marry the daughter of Minhan Group,
a small subcontractor?
What is wrong with marrying a rich man and having what you want?
That's enough. I'm tired of everything.
You're all talk without being able to deliver.
- I'll pay you 10 grand a month. - 10 grand?
I'll be waiting to hear from you, Mr. Yang.
