It looks amazing.
(Episode 93)
Why did you cook all this?
I prepared what your mom used to cook for us,
but I'm not sure how it all taste.
You never made anything like this for me.
I like crab stew too.
You have a sister who will do anything for you.
It's really tasty. It reminds me of Mom.
Jin Ok made a ton of side dishes...
for you to take home.
Thank you.
Oh, and this.
Here you go.
What's this?
Play it.
How did you do this? It was originally a VHS tape.
My manager knows all sorts of people.
I said I wanted to give her a copy of this,
and he turned it into a digital file.
I have something for you too.
What are you all doing?
- What is it? - Open it.
(1991 Youth Song Contest Participation Certificate)
Wait. You still have those?
Of course. It's my most valuable treasure.
If we'd entered that song contest that day,
would our lives be different?
Our current lives are okay too.
Thanks for coming over...
so early in the morning to cook and eat breakfast with me.
I'll call you as soon as I arrive.
Are you going to never come back after leaving like this?
Don't you dare do that.
We have your address now, so we'll track you down.
I won't disappear.
I have a house here now.
Oh, right.
Why are you giving me this?
I'll only live in it 1 month out of 12 a year.
Why did I buy such a huge house?
I went and bought it, and now I regret it.
Move back in.
No, it's okay.
I don't want to pay the management fee...
when I'm not even here.
What are friends for?
Move back in.
Hey, Park Bu In...
But in return, put me up whenever I'm in Korea.
You don't even need to ask.
Thanks so much.
If possible,
buy it off me quickly.
Okay.
Dad, does your ankle still hurt?
Did you overdo it? Let me see.
I'm fine.
It's just a bit stiff.
It doesn't sound good. Let's just go home.
We can't stop now.
I need to exercise more to loosen up the stiff muscles.
Don't worry and lead the way.
I'll follow.
Why would I lead the way? Let's go together.
Your shoelaces are undone. Do them up.
You're right.
Dad, wait for me.
Hurry and catch up.
Dad!
Dad. Dad.
Dad!
My gosh.
- Mom. - What happened?
Is he okay?
It's my fault.
I didn't look after him.
Hey, Hyeon U.
Did you see the doctor? What did he say?
He hurt his head.
The wound isn't deep, but just to be sure,
the doctor suggested he get a CT.
So we had him admitted.
The results will tell us something, so wait a bit more.
It's not serious, is it?
Why won't he wake up?
Wait a bit more.
It won't be serious.
Stop crying, Dae Young. He's still in shock.
Mom, what about work?
I called in.
It's not your fault, Dae Young. Don't cry.
You can do it.
No, no.
No?
How does someone as lazy as you exercise every day?
That's so weird.
I'm not lazy.
I wake up really early.
I just don't clean the house.
I was never good at cleaning, and I never felt the need.
Exactly. That's why you and I are a perfect match.
I love to clean and do the dishes.
What perfect match?
Don't you even say that. We're the worst match ever.
Find a place quickly and move out, so you don't start rumors.
Joon Ho said something that made me reach a decision.
I'll stay for your sake.
For my sake? What do you mean?
I can't stop thinking that you're too good for Joon Ho.
I told him too...
that I want you to find someone much better.
Are you sure it's not because you're jealous?
Or are you poking a fruit knowing you can't have it?
Mi Rae. What do you think of me?
I do tend to get attached, but I'm not mean or evil.
Okay, fine. Don't yell.
Since we're at it, I'll ask you again.
Do you really feel nothing for Master Sagong?
Not even 10 percent?
You can't measure feelings in percentage.
Measuring fondness by percentage?
I'm not like that.
You either like someone or you don't.
So do you like him or not?
I don't know. What if I like him and what if I don't?
If you like him, date him. If you don't, use him.
You're not mean or evil? That's being nasty.
Using someone's feelings to your advantage is the worst you can do.
It's just a figure of speech.
So what is Master Sagong like?
He's a nice guy. He's way too nice for me.
Then why reject him?
Don't ask.
If we'd met earlier, then maybe we could've worked out.
We met at the wrong time.
If you don't meet at the right time, it's not meant to be.
You could've dated if you'd met earlier?
Is that it?
Be quiet. Get back to work.
Let's loosen you up before you get stiff.
- Okay, okay. Hold on. - Bend over.
Here.
Try to eat this.
This is easier to digest. Come on.
I can't eat now. Maybe later.
Don't you be like this.
He'll wake up soon. You need to be strong and ready.
Mom.
Why is it always like this?
I never had any good times with Dad.
I thought we were finally getting along...
without me hating him.
Why were there no good times?
Other than the time you left to go to Africa,
you never upset us once.
I was terrible to Dad.
I did nothing for him.
Being healthy and good is the best thing...
a child can do for their parents.
Dad wants you to be happy and well more than anything.
So eat this.
Honey, you're awake.
Dad, do you see me?
What's all the fuss about?
Help me up.
Are you okay?
Dad, do you know where you are?
This is a hospital.
Why am I here?
You fell over while jogging with Dae Young.
Don't you remember?
Did I?
I remember jogging.
Dae Young, get the doctor.
- And Hyeon U as well. Hurry. - Okay.
(Jeil Hospital)
I'm so glad that there's nothing wrong.
You still need to be careful from now on.
Exercise less now.
What with the concert, you overdid it.
She's right.
Jog for just 30 minutes a day,
and don't go out in the evenings.
Okay.
My daughter and her husband are nagging in a chorus.
When can I go home?
Since you're here, we'll do a few more tests.
Why don't you stay for two more days?
Two more days?
Just in case.
While waiting for the CT results, we'll take another scan of his head.
Forget it.
Why do you keep scanning?
I got a full checkup not long ago. Why do I need be checked more?
My gosh.
Why cause all this fuss over a bleeding forehead?
I hate hospitals. I'm going home.
Help me up.
Fine, let's go home.
So Young, go and get him discharged.
- But... - You know he's stubborn.
If he needs more tests, he can come in then.
It finally feels like my back's on something.
There's no place like home.
You stressed out the whole family all morning,
and that's all you can say?
Why would you get stressed out over that?
Take a short rest then have dinner.
You haven't eaten all day, and you need to.
Okay.
Honey, let's...
Why are you making that when we're going to pick them up?
They'll feel cold walking back from the library.
And it's nice to have a hot drink on the way.
The car just had to break down now.
We use it so much that something keeps needing fixing.
I prefer this way more than when I rode...
an expensive van to gigs.
It not just hard on you, but on the kids as well.
That depends on how you think.
It's nice for you to get them in a nice car,
but walking home...
as a family with hot drinks is also a good memory.
We could even buy sweet potatoes on the way back.
Shall we?
The twins love sweet potatoes.
I hope they sell roasted chestnuts too.
- Yes. Let's go. - I'll carry that.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Come along.
The library's further than I thought.
I like walking along with you in the evening.
It's so nice. It feels like a date.
- Really? - Yes.
Shall we get the kids more often?
We should.
Good quality deals. Take a look.
- Thank you. - Get a new phone.
Come inside and take a look.
- Honey. - What?
She looks just like our Yi Ran.
Who does? Where do you see such a pretty girl?
- Check out the new models. - Have a look.
Good deals, great quality, sleek designs. Take a look.
We have a special event.
Isn't that Il Lan?
What's she doing there?
Honey, follow me.
Wait, honey.
- Hello. - Thank you.
Take one. Thank you.
Take a look at this. Thanks.
Take a look.
Mom. Dad.
Hey. What are you two doing here?
Hey. Run.
- Where are you going? - You come over here.
Hey.
Why are you doing this instead of studying?
I just don't believe this.
Now even my kids betray me.
Tell me the truth.
How long have you been lying to work there?
Why were you even working?
Honey, relax.
Girls, tell the whole truth. Don't hide anything.
Only then can I take your side.
We've only done it for a week.
We did it for fun.
You'll be high school seniors soon!
You need to study because every minute counts.
You should be studying all night and what? You worked for fun?
We did it to gain experience and have fun.
Some of our friends work part-time too.
That's right, Mom.
We only worked five hours a day.
We studied too.
What? Five hours?
- Come here! - Honey!
- Is that why your nose bled? - Hey, hey.
Is that it?
Do you want to buy something? Is that why you worked?
It's not like that.
That's right. We're not kids anymore.
Then tell us the real reason.
How can you work for fun until your nose bleeds?
Tell the truth right now,
or I'll just tear you two up like...
Honey, honey, wait. They aren't kids anymore.
You can't do this. Calm down.
We wanted to be good to you. To be good daughters.
What?
Be what?
We lost everything.
Mom sings at all sorts of places,
and Dad can't even afford to drink vending machine coffee.
We don't buy milk or read the newspaper anymore.
But our tutoring costs a lot.
So we wanted to earn our own allowance.
So you'd struggle less.
My gosh. This is unbelievable.
Why you two...
When did we tell you to work?
Whose fault do you think this is?
Did I starve you or not give you an allowance?
This is our fault.
Why should you have to worry about money?
Because you two are having such a tough time.
We wanted to help however we could.
We're sorry.
My poor babies.
It's all my fault.
I'm really sorry.
- Dad. - Dad.
I'm a terrible dad.
This is so sad.
- You're up? - Yes.
Dad, let's go.
Dad?
Good morning, Mother.
- You too. - Thanks.
You weren't jogging with your dad?
- What? - Dad left already?
We just came downstairs.
He was gone when I woke up,
so I thought you'd gone out.
Where on earth did he go then?
Do you not know when he left?
I'm not sure. He was in bed when I went to the toilet around dawn.
This is bad.
Go outside and look. I'll call him.
Okay.
Let's go.
We need to hurry.
It's him.
Where is he? You didn't find him?
We searched everywhere and couldn't find him.
Dae Young...
I checked the GPS on his phone.
He's in Euljiro.
Euljiro? He got that far already?
Isn't Euljiro where he used to work?
His old company?
Oh, that's why one of his suits were missing.
If he wore a suit, maybe he has business there.
I think I should go and look for him.
Mother, you missed work yesterday.
Do you think you can miss another day?
I'll go over there. You three go to work.
I'll find him.
Can you manage alone?
Of course. I'll find him as long as he has his phone.
I'll call you.
Yes. Kim Bok Nam.
Go all out.
I worked at KG Construction my whole life.
I can proudly say I worked harder than anyone.
In this era,
giving your life to work hard doesn't guarantee a long career.
What you need now is insight and creativity.
Your time is over.
It's time to make way for the youth...
and make a beautiful exit.
How dare you say that and fire me.
If I give in just like that,
I'll change my surname to Park.
I'm a tenacious country boy, and I do what I promise.
I'm Kim Bok Nam.
(KG Construction)
What brings you here, Mr. Kim?
Don't we have nothing more to talk about?
What was that for? What are you doing?
Did that hurt?
You hurt me too. How dare you fire me?
You joined after me then used favors to get a quick promotion.
Don't you know order?
This is all too sudden and out of the blue.
How dare you come in here and talk nonsense?
We fixed your private villa, bribed suppliers,
and treated all sorts of people.
You made me do all your dirty work.
And then you fire me? How can you call yourself a director?
Listen, old man.
You were fired long ago.
Why are you complaining about it to me now?
Did I fire you? The company did!
Don't the security guards do anything around here?
Is anyone out there?
Security! Security!
You'll get security to drag me out?
Don't you bother.
I'll resign myself, so...
Let's go.
Wait. I have something to say.
- Come with us. - Let go of me.
I have something to say.
Has he gone crazy?
I said I have something to say.
My gosh.
Dad.
Why are you here?
Why are you?
- Why didn't you answer your phone? - My phone?
(30 missed calls)
Why are there so many missed calls?
Is something going home at home?
What about you? Why are you here?
I reported to work and am off to see a supplier.
What?
Is something wrong?
No.
Dad.
Can't you take today off...
and come home with me?
What?
Just for today.
Okay.
Let's go.
Dae Young. Did you find your dad?
Yes. We just got a taxi back.
He's asleep.
What a relief.
Did anything happen at the company?
No. He was standing outside when I got there.
Okay. Well done.
I'll come home early.
I should've known when you gave me the 300,000 dollars.
You said you wouldn't make any more collections. What's this?
That meant I wouldn't come every day.
It's a creditor's right to check her debtor's finances.
Finish up and leave already.
Are you an accountant or something?
Just see if things add up. Why are you checking the receipts?
What are you even doing here?
I'll come by every other month or so to make a collection.
That's great news.
I'd love to see less of you.
I'm not doing it for your benefit.
I'm too busy with my new job to come often.
Your new job?
Are you tutoring more students?
Don't sneer.
I'll start a business.
A business?
You must be up to something else.
It is time for you to show your true colors.
So when will you leave that house?
I want to move out, but Mi Rae keeps asking me to stay.
She says she likes how the house is always clean.
That's impossible.
Mi Rae's not that kind of person.
Maybe she changed, like I have.
You should get a grip, so that Mi Rae can be happy.
I'll go now. See you for the next collection.
Why is she getting more and more repulsive?
Hello? It's Seol Song Joo.
You know me, right?
We need to meet up.
Yes. I'll come over.
What's this chilling feeling?
She's always scary.
If you're here, say what you must.
I don't like spending much time with people who make me uncomfortable.
You shouldn't treat me like this.
You don't even know what cards I hold.
Whatever cards you hold,
I'm not interested.
If you want to play games or make threats, go elsewhere.
It's not like that.
I came to tell you the truth for you and Mi Rae's sake.
The truth?
About how she feels. How Mi Rae feels about you.
Why would you tell me that?
It's so frustrating.
- I doubt Mi Rae will ever tell. - What?
She likes you. I'm sure of it.
She just lacks confidence.
Did Mi Rae say that herself?
Yes. She says you're too good a man for her.
That you two should've met sooner.
It doesn't sound like a confession of love,
but that's nice.
Is that it?
You won't go and say you love her?
"I love you, Mi Rae. Marry me."
Will you not do that?
It's not like Mi Rae told me anything.
Proposing her now could put pressure on her.
That's too impolite.
Why are you so old-fashioned?
When the woman hesitates, push right ahead.
Or you might just lose her.
What?
The head injury bothers me.
Why else would he suddenly get so bad?
He thinks he still works there, right?
Yes.
When we met, he said he was going to see a supplier.
What if he goes back again tomorrow?
People there won't understand and will throw him out,
and Dad will fight back, which could get him into trouble.
What now?
It's not like we can stop him from going.
I'll try to distract him with something else.
Dad's too stubborn for that.
He never left early even once until he retired.
I'll stay close to him tomorrow.
You?
What will you do?
- I'll go with him. - I will.
I'll see what happens,
and if nothing works, I'll tell the truth.
It's best coming from me than any of you.
It'll hurt his ego a bit less.
Mom.
It's okay. I'll be okay.
Why are you back again?
Why are you doing this to me?
Why do you think? I have something for you.
What do you keep offering? I don't want anything.
Get security in here!
Honey.
- Is this him? - That's him.
- What... - What are you doing here?
Why are you here?
Aren't you his wife?
Yes. How are you? We haven't met in a while.
Do you think I'm well?
What's wrong with him? Is he crazy?
How dare you talk like that?
You can yell at me but not at her.
- Hey, hey. - Honey, let's leave.
We aren't going anywhere.
I have something to give to this fool. Wait a bit.
"This fool"? "This fool"?
I'll call the cops. Do whatever you want.
- Come with us. - This is unbelievable.
- Let go. - Just a moment.
- Will you hear me out first? - Is this the police?
- It won't take long. - I have something for him.
I'll call you back.
Take a seat.
My goodness.
Darn it.
Honey, let's go.
No, I have to go back in there.
What for? Why would you go back?
To hand in my resignation letter. I came to resign.
I worked here my whole life,
and I want to quit myself, voluntarily.
I'll hand it in for you. Give it to me.
Didn't you hear me? I said I'd do it myself.
Wait here.
Honey.
Go on.
Take it. I'm resigning.
I'd rather resign than let you fire me.
I worked here my whole life.
I won't let myself be fired miserably.
Take it.
(Letter of Resignation)
The world may have changed,
and no one retires at 65 anymore,
but you shouldn't discard people like that.
You should talk before your part,
and those who leave deserve respect too.
I may quit now, but I worked very hard.
So I have no regrets.
If you have...
anything on your heart, let it go.
Well done and thank you for everything so far.
Thank you.
Mr. Kim.
I wish you...
good health.
Honey.
Let's go home.
Okay. You did so well until now.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Jin Ok, I yelled and bragged too much.
I puffed myself up for fear that I wouldn't be able to...
support you and the kids.
Okay, you can relax now.
What on earth is this?
Is this a costume?
Don't I look good? Doesn't your heart pound?
I don't feel anything when I see men in leather jackets.
You're a bit behind in fashion, aren't you?
Do you know someone called Kyung Hee?
Dad told me not to tell you.
How do you know her?
