(It's My Life)
Aren't you ashamed to face the person you love?
You'll intrigue yourself into a high position like that...
and do more wrong things to keep your position.
Can you show yourself doing so to your loving family?
You're the type of person who always chooses the hard way.
There's nothing you can get by playing by the book...
so stubbornly like you do.
Now, I can see what Grandpa was worried about.
He said that you learned revenge and grudge as you grew up,
so you don't know how to coexist with others.
He felt so bad about that.
Ideal and reality are two different things.
Idealists like you...
can never fit in this world.
So try and struggle to the last moment.
You will only realize the reality.
I'm sorry, I can't give you Grandpa's Hyunkang...
no matter what.
I won't let you cause the people I love...
distress again.
It won't go the way you want it to be.
In order to protect my people,
I will make sure I'll be the successor of Hyunkang.
Hey, who are you?
Darn it. It's morning already.
Where did that woman, Jung Jin Ah, go?
Why on earth are you sleeping here?
I dozed off for a few minutes. I'll move the car right away.
Hurry up, will you?
Gosh, that jerk looks like a conman.
That ruined my day.
Hello?
Are you still in bed?
How late did you stay in the reference room?
I think I left around 3am.
You took a taxi alone at that hour?
My, you're one fearless woman.
This world is a scary place.
I got home safe and sound.
Get ready in 30 minutes.
Let's go for breakfast.
30 minutes?
No, make it an hour.
Pick me up in an hour.
You have too many people to look after.
You're the type to drop everything and help those in your life.
People like you make their spouses or partners lonely.
He sure is the nosiest guy in the whole wide world.
I'm crazy. Why did I fall for a guy like him in the first place?
Yes. I'm almost ready.
I'll be down in 10 minutes. Yes.
Seung Joo, can you hear me?
I love you, Seung Joo.
You are my top priority.
I will never make you lonely.
I won't make you upset either.
You trust me, don't you?
Who's there? Do you think you own the whole neighborhood?
Gosh. It's so noisy. Who's being so loud at this early hour?
What are you doing here?
Did you not hear me? Shall I start all over again?
- No, no. - I love you, Seung Joo.
I heard everything you said, so stop it. Okay?
Stop. Be quiet.
Then will you believe that you are my top priority?
Yes. I totally believe that. So stop it now. All right?
Let's go before someone throws water at us.
Gosh. Seriously.
Get in.
You're just unbelievable.
Gosh. This is so boring.
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Since it's weekend, most employees didn't come in.
If you want to meet someone, come back during the week.
Are you new?
Yes, I am. So?
Who are you? Why are you trying to have a date...
at this company?
Hello, Director Choi.
He's a director?
How did you train new employees?
I'm sorry, sir.
Since he's new, he didn't know you and made a mistake.
He reeks of alcohol and speaks rudely, and his clothes are untidy.
He's terrible.
Discipline him properly.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Mr. Bang. Did you drink last night?
Why is your uniform so messy?
What on earth did you tell Mr. Choi to make him so upset?
Is that man really a director?
- Such a young brat like him? - How dare you call him a brat?
You watch your mouth.
He's the son of Ms. Choi, the most powerful person in this company...
and will be the successor of Hyunkang.
So Choi Geum Soon... No, I mean...
Managing Director Choi's son is a director?
Yes, Mom. Tomorrow.
I sent you some money, so buy new clothes and handbag.
When will you arrive?
Yes. I'll meet you at the bus terminal.
Yes.
You haven't seen your mother since your father's funeral, right?
That's right.
Since she's coming to Seoul, let her stay for a few days.
Give her a tour of Seoul too.
I can't. I have no time for that.
Don't hate your mother too much.
She said she didn't want you to live like she did.
She wanted you to marry into a rich family, so you could live lavishly.
Did you talk to her alone?
She said she resented being poor.
She had to attend to your father and worry about food.
She was afraid of living in poverty that she couldn't stop...
even though she did all sorts of work.
I told you that my mother grew up in the countryside too, right?
Yes.
Mr. Jang once called you Little Ms. Choi.
Little Ms. Choi?
I don't deserve to be called that.
You and my mother have a lot in common.
You both are meticulous about work, have so much pride,
and never let other people see your pain.
Therefore, I understand my mother.
I'll be good to her.
There are three of us now.
You're right. There are three of us.
3, not 2.
Three of what?
Goodness. You guys are not expecting already, right?
No, Mr. Jang.
I was just joking.
My mother and the two of us. That's what I meant.
It's good to see you like this.
Mr. Choi, you look so happy.
Do I?
- Has everyone come in? - Yes.
Finish your coffee, and then let's have a meeting.
Okay.
(Hanguk Charnel House)
(The late Ahn Seok Ho)
I'm here, Grandpa.
Hello, Mr. Ahn.
You're surprised, aren't you?
We came together because...
She's my girlfriend now, Grandpa.
She is my top priority.
I think that my grandpa knew from the beginning...
that we would end up together.
What do you mean?
On the day you visited him at the hospital with Si Woo,
he asked me...
if I was okay with you getting engaged to Si Woo.
That's odd.
Back then, nothing was going on between us.
I, too, thought then he misunderstood our relationship.
But he once said,
"Meet someone who makes you smile..."
"instead of someone who makes you cry."
"Meet someone who makes you smile"?
He said if I like someone,
the thought of her should make me smile.
It shouldn't make me look sad.
Even I didn't know my feelings,
but my grandpa must have known.
Seung Joo, you always make me smile...
and give me the strength to go on.
Gosh. I must be really simple.
How could I stop being mad at you...
just because of what you said?
It's true that I have many people I have to take care of.
And whenever they get in trouble,
I will help them just as I do now.
Nevertheless, you will always be...
my top priority for the rest of my life.
You can embrace me despite that, right?
I have no choice.
You booked tickets for the movie, right?
In fact, we have to cancel it again since we should go somewhere else.
You're not angry, are you?
See? I knew you would do it again.
Since today is Mr. Heo's birthday, my mom will cook a meal for him.
Let's join the party and act cute and funny.
Acting cute and funny is my specialty. Let's go.
Why are you giving me flowers?
I want to thank you for wishing me a happy birthday.
I couldn't think of anything else.
I'm the one who made the seaweed soup.
Did you bring me anything?
Do you want a reward for making it for your brother's birthday?
I didn't say that.
Please come on in.
The soup just needs to be served.
I could just eat a bowl of gukbap with my sister.
Thank you for all the trouble.
Nam Jin and Seung Joo are on their way here.
They want us to eat without them and have a party when they arrive.
Pardon? A party?
My goodness. I don't need a party at my age. It's embarrassing.
- Come on in. - Okay.
So I'm suggesting we should use the colors we see in nature.
Blue that reminds us of the ocean.
Green that reminds us of a green field.
White for clouds.
And shades of red for flowers.
Oh, I see. That's a good idea.
Jin Ah's design for the second round that we discarded.
She used pure white cotton fabric and red embroidery, right?
How about we revive the idea by changing the design a little?
Good. I like that idea.
It was an image of a woman standing on a green field.
It was a shame that we didn't go with that design. It's a good idea.
Good. And in your report, Yeon Ji,
I saw the idea of projecting images of watercolor paintings...
to create a natural atmosphere.
It'll be great if we can use it for this.
I'll take red.
That's my specialty, you know.
Great. Please keep cross-checking each other's designs...
and sharing good ideas.
Then it'll be good to use natural fabrics, right?
Yes, please find easy-to-dye fabrics in advance.
They must show the colors vividly.
Got it, sir.
Let's wrap up the meeting here.
- Okay. Good work. - Thank you.
Great work, everyone.
Yeon Ji, are you feeling sick?
I must be coming down with a cold.
My entire body aches.
Boil ginger, jujubes, and pears together and drink it. It helps.
Ginger, jujubes, and pears?
I'd make it if we still lived together.
Shall I come by and make it for you?
No, it's okay. I'll make it.
Give me the recipe.
Gosh, my stomach is so upset.
The person you're trying to reach is not available at the moment.
Gosh, I was going to ask her to make me a bowl of hangover soup.
How dare she ignore my call?
I have a lot of time on my hands now,
so I should just go there.
My gosh, it's okay.
- Come on. You need to wear this. - Goodness.
All of this will become a memory you'll cherish later on.
It looks great on you. My gosh.
Ms. Yang and Ms. Heo are wearing it too, you know.
Oh, my. Because he's handsome,
anything looks great on him.
All right. Let's blow these out quickly and wrap this up.
By the way, why are there only five candles?
Mr. Heo, aren't you turning 50?
You don't look a day over 50.
People have told me that I look young for my age,
but I'm a lot older than that.
My gosh, really?
I thought you'd be in your early 50s at the most.
Look at you two. Nice teamwork.
You're surely perfect for each other. Goodness.
I'm always happy to hear that I look young for my age.
- By the way, won't you sing for me? - We will, of course.
- Ready, start. - Start.
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday, dear Mr. Heo - Happy birthday, dear Mr. Heo
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
Blow them out.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
This really is the happiest birthday ever.
Thank you.
What are you all doing?
It's Mr. Heo's birthday today, so we're throwing a party for him.
Happy birthday.
Is he a kid or what? What is that?
Yes, Mr. Bang.
You're in front of our place?
Okay. I'll ask Mom, but...
Who? That jerk? He's here?
Gosh. What brings him here again?
He said he came because he's craving your food.
What should we do?
How dare he think that he can keep showing up like this?
We can't let him in. Tell him to leave.
Is it Mr. Bang Cheol Sang?
Yes, Mr. Heo.
Just let him in, Ms. Yang.
I have to talk to him about something anyway.
Pardon?
Oh, okay.
Hi, Mr. Jang. Is the meeting over?
Yes, it just ended.
Really? Then we should've had dinner together.
Do you want to come out? Let's watch a movie after dinner.
Shall we?
There are so many people at home now, so I want to go out.
Okay, I'll meet you there.
It'll take me about half an hour.
All right.
I told you to never set foot in this house again.
You're such a nuisance.
How tenacious.
I drank too much all by myself yesterday.
I came because I've been craving your hangover soup all day.
How could you be so heartless?
I only let you in because of Mr. Heo,
so you'd better leave right after you eat.
Could we have a quick chat...
while Ms. Yang fixes dinner for you?
What? Goodness.
What are you going to say this time?
My gosh! Hello.
Ms. Choi, do you live here too?
I had no idea.
Goodness, not a day goes by without problems in this house.
Stop letting riffraff in, will you?
I heard you're looking for a woman named Ms. Choi Geum Soon.
Pardon?
Why are you trying to find her?
Well, that's...
She and I have unfinished business.
Why are you asking me this question again?
I'm just wondering if she's connected...
to how you stole Nam Jin.
I told you that I found him.
Why do you keep saying that I "stole" him?
Well, it's possible that Choi Geum Soon...
gave me information on where I could find him.
I'm getting old, so my memory...
isn't the same anymore.
Well, what does that mean?
What does Ms. Choi Geum Soon have to do...
with Mr. Bang taking me in?
I'm looking into it at the moment.
Soon, we'll find out who that woman is...
and how she's connected. The truth will come out.
My gosh, look at all these orders we're getting.
So for this order, you want us to print this logo...
instead of the dolphin design?
- Yes, Mr. Han. - Okay, got it.
What color though?
Wouldn't yellow be too much?
How about we go for white this time?
- Show me the logo. - Oh, here.
- It's this one. - Oh, no!
- My gosh! - Be careful!
Gosh, I'm so sorry.
- My goodness. - Here, use this.
Gosh. Why are you so clumsy, Ms. Ko?
- I'm sorry. - My gosh.
We'll come back after dinner. Reprint the order, please.
Also, please clean this up.
- Let's go. - Gosh.
- I'll carry this. - Goodness, clean all this up.
- Yes, sir. - I'm okay.
How did I end up like this?
I'm hungry too.
This place is smaller than I expected.
What are you talking about?
It's as big as two of our rooms combined.
She'll move into my family's place when we get married.
She'll stay here just until then.
Your family's place?
I guess that means you two will live with your mother.
Mom.
I'm just asking because I may not be able to visit you often...
if you live with your in-laws.
Why are you getting mad at me?
You can visit as often as you'd like.
My mother works a lot, so she's rarely home.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry? Don't be.
Then have a restful night.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Thanks for everything today. Get home safely.
Thank you.
Oh, it's okay. You don't need to see me out.
Bye.
What's the matter with you?
Why are you complaining about everything?
What?
I'm just worried about your in-laws being mean to you.
Why must you get angry every time you see me?
We're just having a meal together.
She hasn't given us permission to get married.
So please, keep it to yourself.
Right, you want your incompetent mom to keep her mouth shut.
You shouldn't look down on your mom like that.
No matter how competent you are, you're still my child.
I know. So please stop it already.
He'll inherit a large company. Then why is he so petty?
Couldn't he find a two bedroom flat?
At least Dae Sik's parents were generous.
That's enough! Stop it. Please.
Dae Sik.
Oh, Yeon Ji, you're up.
How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?
Let me feel your forehead.
Good. The fever has gone down.
The fever has gone down.
Did you attend to me all night long?
Why are you so foolish?
Sorry?
Hey. Jin Ah.
I heard that your mother and Mr. Choi's mother...
- will meet today. - Yes.
What should I buy for her?
Traditional Korean cookies or fruits?
Ask Si Woo.
He must know what Ms. Choi likes.
I'll do that.
Jin Ah, don't be nervous.
People's lives are not so different from one another.
We all eat three meals a day, right?
Do you know that you and Nam Jin have so much in common?
Me?
"We all eat three meals a day."
Nam Jin used to say that all the time.
I'm also nosy just like him, right?
Who is nosy?
You're not talking about me, are you?
Jin Ah.
I heard you have a family meeting today.
Relax. People's lives are not so different from one another.
I mean, we all eat three meals a day.
You two are so much alike.
Wasn't I right, Seung Joo?
What?
Why are you looking for Choi Geum Soon?
She and I have unfinished business.
I'm just wondering if she's connected...
to how you stole Nam Jin.
I'm going to make sure he'll keep his mouth shut.
Ms. Yoo, can you call Mr. Bang Cheol Sang...
who works as a security guard at the lobby?
Yes, ma'am.
- What is it, Mr. Kim? - I've found her.
Pardon?
Are you saying that you found the orphanage director's wife?
Yes, sir. She's in a long term care hospital in the suburb of Seoul.
Lead the way.
I'm going to meet her in person.
(It's My Life)
Welcome.
I heard they will live in this house when they get married.
I think it's too soon to discuss their marriage.
I'm here for the part time position.
You must be Ms. Lee Seon Hui. Welcome.
Seung Joo, I have a big problem.
What do you mean you have a big problem?
