You know our company's situation better than anyone.
We're walking on thin ice.
Yes, but you know what I went through to fire people...
on my own team.
You may think it's killing the dog after the hunting is over,
but the same goes for me too. I could be fired at any time.
You promised me a director seat.
Did you decide to give it to someone else?
We'll decide soon.
Are you okay?
Yes. I'm fine.
Excuse me. Do you have a cigarette?
No. I don't smoke.
Let's eat!
Okay.
Mom.
Nurse Baek really liked the plum extract.
Did he? Did you give yours to your superior?
What? Yes, of course I did.
I said you made it and he was pleased.
Mr. Kim. Take this with you.
No, sir.
I have diabetes and can't take this.
Give it to your wife.
Mr. Kim. Just take it back.
Here.
I can't take what I already gave you.
It's fine. Take it.
- Keep it. - Take it.
- Just keep it. - I won't take it!
Son. You haven't returned to your dorm yet?
Medicine's a hard subject to study.
Can you afford to miss class?
Even successful people or people with money...
feel small around their smart sons.
That's about right.
Seeing you gives me strength.
You don't know because you stay in the dormitory,
but Dad lives to brag about you.
I should brag when I can.
Not just anyone can get into medical school.
Dad.
Dae Young, try some of this.
- Dad. - Dae Young, I said try it.
Your mom's so afraid that...
you don't eat properly on campus that she's trying to feed you.
Talk as you eat.
What will I become when I graduate?
A doctor, of course.
Will I be happy as a doctor?
You'll definitely be happy.
You're guaranteed a job, you'll make lots of money,
and people will respect you.
Is that happiness?
What's the purpose of studying to get into medical school?
Right?
Dad, that's not a purpose.
The purpose is to treat illnesses and save patients.
That's a given.
Dae Young, can we eat now?
Thanks for holding back.
I didn't hold back.
I stopped because I knew we'd never be on the same page.
Let's hear your plan then.
What'll you do if you quit university?
You won't get it.
Don't slight me.
I graduated from Korea National Open University.
Mom.
You know I like "The Little Prince".
You had the book with you at all times in elementary school.
Then Dad took away my copy...
and threw it out with the recyclables.
What about it?
You know the story mentions a baobab tree?
They're dying for no reason.
So what?
They're known to live for over 2,500 years,
but they might die out.
So what?
I promised Soo Ho to go and see them.
- Where are they? - The African savanna.
See? I said you wouldn't get it.
What'll you do after you see them?
I want to see all the waterfalls in the world.
I still have a few ideas.
You don't get it, do you?
No. I really don't get it.
My goodness.
Dong Hyun. Dong Hyun.
What?
Not you. Get your mom.
I'm not Dong Hyun.
Call my name if you need me.
Where's my striped shirt?
In the washing machine?
What?
Why is every clothing item I need always in the washing machine?
Is that the closet?
Is that all you have to wear?
Why are you complaining already?
Look at the state of this room.
If you don't clean up, at least stay organized.
I do the cleaning once in a while.
When? A month ago? Two months ago?
Were you with someone else so far?
What's wrong with you today?
Is it a climacteric change?
How are you always so irritable?
Let's watch it around each other.
Look at the living room. It's more like a landfill.
Will you stop it?
I'm telling the truth.
Yes, you are, it's all right.
Must you say it in such a nasty manner?
"You're busy at work so you have no time to clean, do you?"
"Let's clean up together this weekend."
Then I'd do something out of guilt at least.
The time when the man could nag is over.
Try to impress.
Yes, ma'am.
It must be good to live in this day and age...
where you can talk your way out of even cooking.
There are no spoons?
Apparently not.
You want me to eat with this?
Use your gums if you have no teeth.
That's a spoon too.
All this is driving me insane.
Stop staring at your phone.
Why hit my head?
That's a warning.
Watch it before I confiscate it.
You always say that.
You're leaving already?
I don't have an appetite.
I don't need a ride. I'll go on my own today.
I'm not surprised.
His mom calls this breakfast.
Who would have an appetite?
I'm not eating either.
Dong Hyun, wait up.
Hang in there.
It's because you bathe him too often.
They're just like us.
If you wash him too often, his skin will get dry and rough.
But after we go on a walk,
I have to wash him because of the soil, dust and smell.
Just clean him lightly with a wet wipe.
We're done for today.
Thank you.
Let's go home, Alex.
Let's go.
- See you next week. - Okay.
- Baobab trees? - Baobab trees?
What's that? What do they look like?
There's this tree with no branches that looks like an oil drum.
Why does he want to see them?
They're dying for no reason.
So he's going to quit the university...
he studied so hard to get into, just to see some trees?
Exactly.
That's just crazy. He's spoiled rotten.
So what did you say?
I can't persuade him.
A lot of kids these days are hard to understand.
You can't try to beat them.
Their world's different from ours.
Tell him to take a break to travel.
I did.
Once he's seen the trees,
he wants to see the world's waterfalls.
He wants to do whatever he wants.
He's not caring a bit about his parents.
What's that if it's not crazy puberty?
There's only one way to deal with such kids.
Let him do what he wants.
He'll wander the world and gain experience...
and come back to his place.
I could say that too if he weren't my son.
"Walk where there are no roads and find your own."
"That's the right path."
"That's the true path of happiness."
Exactly.
Treat him as if he's someone else's son.
You're like this because you have high hopes for him.
That's just wrong.
How can she let him be when it's obvious what'll happen?
Can you say for sure that what we teach guarantees happiness?
I guess not.
What's he doing now?
He went back to his dorm.
Then it'll all work out.
He's a smart kid. He'll know what to do.
(Nurse Oh)
I have a bad feeling.
What's wrong? Who is it?
It's me.
What? A campsite?
There'll be so many tents. How am I to find him?
Alex?
Okay, well done.
What's going on?
I'm a woman too, but a woman's hunch is really something.
How are my bad feelings always right?
They've never got me wrong.
What's going on?
That scum Joon Ho. He's making love to some woman in a tent.
Joon Ho? Your husband?
He's crazy. Has he lost his mind?
Let's go.
Come on. Let's go.
To catch them?
Adultery's no longer an offense.
The police won't accept a complaint.
What do you think we can do?
Are you saying I should leave them?
You caught them doing the deed. What then?
What do you think? We'll split up.
It's the second time.
I won't put up with it.
Have you made up your mind?
I have.
If you won't come along, I'll go on my own.
Okay. Let's go.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi. - Find something to eat.
See you.
What's going on?
I don't know but those three are always together.
There used to be four of them in high school.
Where's the fourth?
I asked that once and got told off. I'm not to ask.
Really? There must be some sort of secret.
Get in.
Do you always keep things so clean and tidy?
Your car was incredibly clean too.
Aren't all women like me?
Not my wife.
She can't keep things organized.
You know the type of woman.
The house is a mess...
but she dresses up to go out.
I hate two-faced women like that.
I'm living with one of them.
How will you find him when there are so many tents?
There's a dog named Alex tied up outside one of them.
What if the dog's inside?
Would they keep it with them while doing the deed?
Let's get out and look first.
Why did you bring that with you?
To cut them off.
- No? - No.
No?
Alex.
Oh, no.
Honey. It's not like that. Nothing happened.
She's one of my clients.
I just tagged along and we... Will you believe me?
That woman and I aren't in any sort of relationship at all.
Honey, believe me, I really...
What? "That woman"? You just tagged along?
You seduced me. Did I seduce you?
Are you the woman who keeps a house like a landfill?
Hey! What's wrong with you?
Who called it a landfill?
You're broadcasting it everywhere, are you?
No, it's a lie.
I'm really sorry, darling.
Mi Rae, let's go.
Honey.
Peel it nicely.
My goodness.
Do you call this peeling?
Ma'am.
Get the man.
Why didn't you ask him in the first place?
You evil brat. Go and get him!
Fine.
Yes?
The foul-mouthed woman wants you.
Does she?
She asked me to peel her an apple and she just threw it on the floor.
Why didn't you peel it nicely?
How do you know I didn't peel it nicely?
All right.
Will you help me?
Come along.
Shampoo.
- Will you rub harder? - What?
You're too weak for a man.
Okay.
That's enough. Spray some water.
Water?
That's too hot!
Sorry.
Do you feel better?
Will this do?
I have to go now, ma'am.
Bye.
- Thanks, nurse. - Sure.
Why would you cut decorations...
into something she'll eat right away?
Go back in a bit later.
A bit later?
Yes.
One more game.
Why do you keep offering it to me?
Have some, Mother.
Come on.
That's her daughter-in-law and not her daughter?
Where's her son?
He died last year.
He was her only child.
She wanted the slices to look pretty for her grandson.
No. For her daughter-in-law.
Her daughter-in-law likes apples.
The old woman disapproved of their marriage.
But she's grateful that she keeps visiting with her son.
That's why she wants the apple slices to look pretty.
I'd like you to become...
a nurse that sees the wounds...
on the patient's inside as well as the outside.
(Tak's Real Estate)
Buy me that, Dad.
Heo Se.
Bok Nam. Come on in.
Sit over here.
Here, take a seat.
I'll take it for you.
You got back from work?
I was feeling a bit hungry.
You came over just at the right time.
Wait a moment.
You like beer.
You said you're hungry. You should have a meal.
At night, alcohol is food and food is alcohol.
Why do you have...
- so much alcohol in your fridge? - Me?
This place...
doubles as my office because I'm on the district council.
I listen to the residents' complaints,
solve their problems, and comfort them.
This is a must.
I saw you had a pretty serious look on your face.
Oh, the thing is,
the chair of our district council...
recently died of cancer.
He wasn't that old and he died just like that.
Cancers can be fatal like that.
So his position is open at the moment.
You want that spot?
If I were to get it,
I can even become head of the borough in the future.
Head of the borough?
Of course, I need a party's nomination for that.
It sure won't be easy.
You have a dream and it's mapped out.
You'll be hard to meet soon.
Don't say that.
I still have a long way to go.
I'm just dreaming for now.
You don't need money to dream.
If you do become chief of the district council,
won't you need a decent office?
If I get the position, I'll need one.
What will happen to this one?
There's my wife.
My wife knows how everything works.
Right.
Why?
Are you thinking of a retirement plan?
Gosh, not at all.
Real estate isn't for everyone.
That's very true.
You shouldn't take this business lightly.
Government policies change constantly,
and there are estate agents on every street.
Half of them don't survive.
That many?
You can't do this for just for the money.
You have to be happy that you have a job and enjoy it.
Otherwise, it really won't work out.
Shall we drink?
Bok Nam.
You must feel very empty now that your mother's gone.
I do.
So...
That day.
Why did you order so many flower arrangements?
I'm grateful for the sentiment but...
You don't need to thank me at all.
I didn't just do it for you.
I did it for me as well.
How does that help you?
I have to get my name out there whenever I can.
I need people to realize that Tak Heo Se...
is looking out for everyone.
Did you see...
the flowers from KG Construction?
Yes. There was one each from the president and the chairman.
Those flowers.
Did you order them as well?
What?
What are you talking about?
Why would I order those?
- Right? - Right.
They were really from the president and chairman.
How dare he say they weren't?
Is there a problem?
It's nothing.
Heo Se.
I hope you become chair of the district council.
Thank you very much.
He could at least call to say he got back safely.
Where's my son Dae Young?
- He went back to the dorm. - Did he?
I need to see him to cheer up.
Why? Did something upset you?
What?
No, no.
About what Manager Park said last time.
What did he say?
At the wake.
He said you'd get promoted for firing members of your team.
A promotion?
What's wrong?
A director position?
That's no good at all.
That means they'll fire me after two years.
Really?
Businessmen these days,
if possible, want a long-lasting mediocre career.
Until retirement age.
That's the goal.
I guess.
There are so many voluntary resignations.
- Honey. - Thanks.
Your junior from school might get kicked out from home.
Who? The vet?
He got caught cheating today.
Who caught him?
His wife?
Us three. He was truly humiliated.
Oh... I see.
I should see him tomorrow then.
I need to consult him about the dog park too.
Others even have affairs.
Did you wash up thoroughly?
Of course I did.
Then I'll take a shower.
Okay. Let's go to bed.
I'll wash up thoroughly. Stay up.
What?
My goodness.
What? "Stay up"?
No, no. No way.
I can't stay up.
Oh dear.
Honey.
I'm ready.
Meow.
Darling.
Why are you wearing pajamas all of a sudden?
I'm washed up.
I'm so cold. I feel so cold.
Gosh.
Darling.
Sleep facing my direction.
I prefer sleeping on this side.
Do you? Then...
I'll sleep on this side tonight.
For some reason, I think I'll feel more comfortable...
lying that side.
Really? Then I'll just move back over to that side.
- Don't. - My goodness.
Why is it so hot in here?
You just said you felt cold.
I did.
Why did it suddenly get so hot?
We managed in the midsummer heat.
Let's sleep.
Let's just sleep.
It's so hot. Gosh.
I can't do this.
I can't sleep in here, it's so hot.
I'll sleep on the couch.
Goodnight.
That fool,
with that big nose.
Hey, why are you home so late?
No way. You're wearing an apron? You?
Why? What for?
Dong Hyun.
You don't want Mom and Dad to get divorced, do you?
What does that have to do with me?
Will you stay together if I want you to?
If you don't want us to split up,
Mom and Dad could think about it.
Would you stay together because your kid told you to?
That's a joke. Stop joking.
Anyway,
if your mom says she wants a divorce,
tell her she can never do it.
Did you cheat on her?
No.
It looks like you did.
- You should've been careful. - What?
I'm not going to my extra lessons, just so you know.
What's wrong with you?
Why bother studying when our family's a mess?
I need to think seriously about my life, so don't interrupt me.
Oh, dear.
Where is this woman?
She isn't with her friends.
Well done.
You're Kang Joon Ho, right?
Yes.
Sign this for me, please.
- Thank you. - Bye.
What's this?
There's no name. Who sent it?
Open it.
Okay.
They're my clothes.
See you in court.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
I worked for KG Construction with all my life.
I heard they got rid of you too.
General Manager Kim's done for.
There is one way.
15 years is a long time to be married to someone.
It's okay to get divorced.
How can you say that?
I was crazy to cheat on someone so amazing.
If you can't stand him anymore, divorce isn't a bad idea.
