(Hate to Love You)
What's taking you so long?
You'd make a wrong move after dwelling on it.
I...
l like Eun Jo.
What?
I said I like Eun Jo.
What are you doing here?
Ms. Kim asked me to meet her here, but she's not here yet.
Hong Suk said he's also here to see her. Aren't I right?
- Look. I'm... - Spare me a second.
Let's talk outside.
- You should go. - Eun Jo.
He'll be waiting for you.
Would Eun Jo have heard what he said earlier?
Go ahead.
Eun Jo is having a hard time because of what Ms. Kim is going through.
So what?
You said you like her.
Then you should at least know how she's feeling.
Well, it's pretty obvious that she doesn't feel the way you do anyway.
How do you know that?
I just don't want you to waste your time.
Don't you think that you're the one wasting your time?
You're so clueless.
That's why you can't win her heart. All you do is hurt her feelings.
I hurt her feelings?
Did Eun Jo say that?
She doesn't have to say it.
I can tell that's how she feels.
If things keep going this way, you'll be hurt more.
I think it'd be wise for you to give up on her now.
I'll decide what's best for me,
so mind your own business.
He has to talk back to every word I say.
It looked like they were talking about something important.
What could it be?
Hey, Eun Jo. Where's Ms. Kim?
She's not here yet?
She left before I did.
That's strange.
Is something happening with her these days?
Why do you ask?
I'm just curious. She seems distracted these days.
She's been acting like a different person lately.
I think it's somewhere around here.
What's going on? Why is he standing there?
Mr. Jung!
Oh, you made it.
It's cold. Why are you standing out here?
Ms. Oh told me that you like dumplings.
This place is very famous for their dumplings.
Gosh, you didn't have to line up though.
We just need to eat something that fills us up.
Let's not eat just to fill ourselves up from now on.
How long have you been waiting out here?
About an hour and a half?
My goodness.
I can invest this much time to eat delicious food.
Come on. It won't be long.
- Thank you. - Here's a table.
Oh, gosh. Let me help you.
- My goodness. Thank you. - No problem.
Hang on. Just a second.
Here. Have some water.
- My gosh. - Have some water.
- There. - Goodness.
I should be doing things like this.
Men should take care of everything for ladies outside.
Women work so much at home all their lives.
Have some water.
Oh, no. Give it to me. I'll do it.
You're making me feel like a queen.
Thinking that you're a queen...
makes you one.
- Oh, thank you. - Oh, my.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
I'll take that.
Thank you.
- Enjoy. - We will.
- Take your time. Eat up. - You as well.
Thank you.
- Gosh. - Wait a second.
Excuse me.
It's okay. I can just take it out and eat it.
That's wrong.
Excuse me. There's something in it.
Please give us a new one.
- Sorry. I'll bring you a new one. - Thank you.
Excuse me. Excuse me!
Look at this. There was a strand of hair in my soup!
You're pulling a trick to get a free meal, aren't you?
How dare you.
Can't you see this?
Do you have proof that it was in the food?
Gosh, it looks like I need to teach you a lesson, woman!
Honey! Honey!
What's the matter?
I'm Kim Haeng Ja, known as a shrew at Geumdong Market.
I found hair in my food!
- Ms. Kim? - Yes?
Oh, sorry.
- Thank you. - Gosh.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
You didn't have to give them a hassle.
It wasn't a hassle at all.
You need to feel good about the food you're eating.
Enjoy it.
- Eat up. - Yes, I will.
- How is it? - It's good.
It's dangerous to be standing on the road.
I'm relieved now.
Here. Take it to your kids at home.
My gosh, when did you get this?
Thank you so much.
I wonder what your kids are like.
- Shall we get going? - Yes.
Again?
I thought you ended it yesterday.
I called him first and talked all confidently.
I avoided him yesterday because I was embarrassed,
but I thought hard about it all night, and I think he's right.
Right about what?
How he said what's important is the fact that you two met again?
I'm his first love, you know.
That's all in the past.
The reality is different.
I know that much.
I'll be myself when I see him today.
I'll just give up if he doesn't like it.
Look at you. It sounds like you've matured overnight.
Shouldn't you tell Bu Sik first though?
I'll definitely get his permission before starting anything this time.
All right. You figure it out.
But if you keep skipping work like this, I'll have to cut your pay.
I was prepared to hear that.
You don't even pay me that much.
She always acts so arrogant when she has nothing to show off.
Besides, she went to Ewha Women's University.
How could she have a male friend from university?
- Yes. What is it? - Mom, Mom, Mom.
I'm here and listening. What do you need this time?
What document?
What about my shop? I can't bring the document to you now.
All right. I can leave it at the front desk, right?
Okay. Bye.
She's just unbelievable.
I won't even be able to pay the rent this month.
- Gosh. Sorry. Did you wait long? - No. It's okay.
I'm a bit distracted lately.
Something good must've happened.
What? Does it seem like that?
No. Every day is just the same. Nothing good happened.
Let's talk about the building first.
Since there's a rumor that the area behind it will be developed,
it will probably be sold as soon as you put it on the market.
How about you keep the building?
The rumor about the development has been spreading for a while.
Did you know about the rumor? And you still want to sell it?
I'm going to build a new house.
A house?
The house I'm living in now means a lot to me,
but it's very small.
It's also very old.
It's not good enough to marry Eun Jo and Myung Jo off.
However, there's this property I've been wanting to buy,
and it's on the market now.
So sell the building, okay?
- You're going to build a new house? - Yes.
I spent a few days' salary at once.
In Jung and In Woo like dumplings so much as well.
When do women feel hurt?
Pardon me?
Never mind.
When you don't side with her even though she knows she's wrong.
No matter what she said, you have to say, "Yes. You're right."
"You must be distressed." You should start by saying this.
Am I raising a child or what?
Exactly. They're just like children.
You're degrading women.
Chairman Hong, you listen to your heart, not your head, when in love.
And a gift always works for a woman with a broken heart.
What does Ms. Gil Eun Jo like?
It's not like that.
Ms. Gil must have let it slip before.
Try to remember that.
However, why would you jump to a conclusion that it's Eun Jo?
Come on. You and I have known each other for 10 years.
We understand each other so well.
Here we go.
A gift.
(The Hyperrealism Exhibition)
It's a ticket for an exhibition.
Yes. You used to like things like that.
You'll come with me, right?
I'm here to tell you about myself.
Last time, I was too surprised.
I ran away because I was embarrassed about working for someone else.
But that wasn't right.
The work of a chief director at a cosmetic company...
and an assistant hair stylist...
aren't very different from each other.
That's what I think.
They're not the same. They are in different levels.
You're talking as if I'm high above you.
Isn't that true?
I bet our salaries alone are completely different.
My wife used to be so obsessed with levels.
Your wife?
She wanted to become an upper class,
so she took our only daughter to the US...
and divorced me after five years.
My daughter married an Arab-American man...
and settled down in the US.
My ex-wife seems to enjoy her life dating different men.
Having said that, I caused big trouble as well.
I ran with our house deed...
to become a singer.
But I only got swindled and lost everything.
Then my wife and daughter left me.
However, there's always a silver lining.
A distant relative of mine asked me to help with her business.
That's how I got this far.
This is my class.
Thank you for putting it that way, Choong Seo.
As I grew older,
I realized what makes me feel comfortable is the best.
My job or anything else doesn't really matter.
But your family members wouldn't agree with you.
My family members?
Oh, my little sister, Jong Hee.
It's true that she's an obstacle to overcome.
Whatever she says, she's just your sister.
I've done so many wrong things to her.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Aren't I getting ahead of myself?
He's a chief director of such a large company.
Look at that. She's Mi Ae.
Does that mean she met her first love here?
I should see his face while I'm here.
The chief director is Mi Ae's first love.
- This one. - You have a good taste.
No. I'm sorry.
- Let's go. I'm sorry. - Why?
Good. This one and...
This one too.
And this too.
Please come with me.
- Why? - Just a moment.
Am I wrong again? You told me to buy her a gift.
She thinks you're Hong Suk, an employee of the beauty center.
The jewelry set...
and those fur coats are too much.
Then what should I buy?
You must know better than me.
Ms. Gil must've sent you a signal.
A signal?
Aren't they pretty?
Roses are the most beautiful flowers indeed. They're gorgeous, right?
Right. Follow me.
Can I trust him?
- No, no. - Why?
This won't work. Return it.
She said, "They're pretty, right?" last time.
That's ridiculous. Just return it now.
This is it.
I'll pack these.
What's with the bank interest rate?
Gosh. There's nothing like lending money to people for making money.
Come in.
Oh, my. Hello.
Eun Jo stepped out briefly.
I'm here to see you.
Me?
Why?
Did you miss my home-cooked meal?
Yes.
I also wanted to give you this. It's nothing special.
What's this? What is it?
My goodness. You didn't have to do this.
I told you I would cook for you anytime for free.
Let me try this on. Does it look okay on me?
Gosh. You didn't have to do this for me as well.
Great. Thank you anyway.
This is why Eun Jo cares so much about you.
She... She cares about me?
Both Eun Jo and I took care of her dad our entire lives.
Eun Jo's dad was so warm-hearted and caring.
However, he was also weak-hearted and had panic disorder.
I happened to see you showing similar symptoms.
I wasn't mistaken, was I?
I see.
I'm not making you uncomfortable, right?
I'm telling you because I care about you.
I wouldn't even care if I thought you were a stranger.
I want to help you because you seem to work hard.
I heard that you're living with your distant relatives.
That worries me too.
So feel free to visit me anytime. I'll be your mom.
- What's this? - Oh, that. Hong Suk brought it.
My instinct is telling me that it's his gift for you.
What? Why would he get me a gift?
I don't need gifts. I just want him to know how I feel about him.
Did you meet with Haeng Ja?
Yes.
What's that?
- Eun Jo. - Yes?
I won't work at the center for the next little while.
Thanks for all of your help.
Thanks for everything today.
Is that Bu Sik?
Why is he sitting there alone looking all pitiful?
- The person you have reached... - Why isn't she picking up?
- Please leave a message... - She should be by his side now.
Gosh, you idiot.
In Woo, In Woo!
Where is she? Is she not home yet?
In Woo, In Woo!
What? Don't you dare call me rudely like that again.
Get changed now. You need to go to the cart bar. Go on.
What on earth are you talking about?
Bu Sik is drinking alone there now.
He looked all serious.
Bu Sik is there?
But won't it look weird if I show up suddenly for no reason?
People go to cart bars to just eat and drink.
Pretend that you're there for a bowl of noodles and look natural...
Can't you use your brain for a change?
Oh, okay. I got it.
I lay out food for her, and she asks me to feed her.
Mom, why is In Woo like that?
Let's talk. Come in.
- I'll see you later. - Good luck!
Come in!
Thanks for earlier. I got the document.
I saw your boss in front of your office earlier.
Did you say hello to him?
Why should I?
You don't need to hide it from me.
I know that you're interested in him.
I was being delusional.
Goodness, I can't dream of being with a man like him.
Why not? Bu Sik's mom dreams of being with him too. Why can't you?
You've known about it?
I'm his secretary. Of course I know.
He's not arrogant or pretentious.
He loves to have fun,
but he's humble and easygoing.
Gosh, I never said I wish to turn my life around like that.
If that ever happens, it'll be after you girls get married.
Shouldn't you do it sooner than later at your age?
Even Dad is trying to get remarried.
Doesn't it rile you up?
He's trying to get remarried?
Who told you that?
Did he say that himself?
He told In Woo. Apparently, it's a wealthy woman.
After we get married, I don't want to hear you say...
that you devoted your entire life to us...
and that we turned out like this even though you've done...
so much to raise us.
Do you have to word it like that?
What I'm trying to tell you is that...
I want you to stop living for us and start living your life.
You two are my life.
Don't worry about us.
Whether you want to get a boyfriend or get married,
do whatever you want to do. Okay?
I thought she only cared about herself.
Anyhow, I should give up on the chief director.
Oh, you made it.
You sounded as if you were about to die. How can I not come?
Nice. My strategy worked!
What's going on?
I...
I must've talked too much about Ms. Kim's boyfriend.
Now that the exact same thing is happening to me,
I can't stand it at all.
Is it about your mother?
I think my mom...
is seeing someone again.
You told me to just step back, wait, and see what happens.
I can't do that.
It's different with my mom.
Do you know how many times she has done this?
No, no. That's not even important.
Every time she dates someone,
she gets herself in trouble, and that's the problem.
What kind of trouble?
She stands surety for the men she sees...
and signs whatever documents they ask her to sign.
She's been fooled and even had their ex-wives pull her hair.
It was so embarrassing.
If she meets a nice guy and lives a normal life,
I won't say anything.
I asked her to tell me first if she wants to meet someone new,
but she never listens to me.
How can a parent worry her child this much?
If she can at least give me a heads-up,
I can vet him and make sure that he's not a con man...
or a married guy. I told her that I'd look into it for her.
You're quite drunk. You shouldn't drink anymore.
I think you should go home now.
I'm not drunk at all.
Where do you live? I'll take you home.
I'm really not drunk at all.
- Gosh, please be careful. - I'm totally sober now.
All right, okay. Is it this way?
- I'm not drunk. - Okay, I heard you.
Come on. Let's go.
It was nothing but sympathy after all. It was done out of pity.
I was a fool to not know that.
Suk Pyo.
You're here. Why didn't you answer me?
Let's talk tomorrow if it's not important.
It is about something important.
Secretary Lee told me that you bought a gift for Gil Eun Jo.
I've made it clear to you that I can't approve of her.
Who are you to say that?
Regardless of what anyone says, I've been filling your mom's shoes.
My mom?
Why can't you approve of Eun Jo?
Because she's not in Ms. Kim's family register?
- Yes. - I have enough money.
Money isn't the issue here.
I want you to meet a normal girl who grew up...
in a happy, loving family.
Someone with a warm heart who can even embrace your loneliness.
She has too many wounds.
Those wounds will end up agonizing you.
Why is he so late without even calling me? I'm worried.
I'm not against it for no reason.
Okay, I heard you.
Where should we go from here?
Is it you, Bu Sik?
Why are you so drunk?
Ms. Dong.
Eun Jo?
You're his mom?
Yes.
My goodness. Hey, be careful.
Eun Jo, come in for a second.
You must've been surprised.
I knew you were seeing Bu Sik,
but I pretended not to know.
This is how we live.
Give me a moment.
Drink it.
Thank you.
It doesn't seem like you drank with him.
Why did he drink until he got hammered?
I think something happened at work, and that made him upset.
Did you two become close enough to talk about things like that?
What do you think of Bu Sik?
Pardon me?
Well.. I think he's a very nice person.
He has only one problem. Other than that, he's perfect.
It's me.
Except for me, he's the most sought-after bachelor.
I would be happy if he ends up with you.
So give him a chance.
Oh, right. Haeng Ja said she likes Bu Sik as well.
Does Haeng Ja know it too?
A parent can tell if her child has even a thorn stuck into her finger.
It's not that she doesn't know. She must be pretending not to know.
You're becoming prettier every day.
You look just like me when I was at your age.
In Woo.
You went home earlier.
You have to throw trash too?
What's wrong with it?
We should help each other.
Why are you living like this?
I've been staying in the back room of this cafe for a while.
It's a back room, but the heater works well, so it's warm.
This is the least I should do when I'm staying here for free.
Shall I make some tea for you?
Look at you. Did you cry?
No, I didn't.
It's him, right?
The lawyer who looks like a weasel, Lawyer Byun.
How do you know him?
I happened to hear In Jung and him talking to each other.
She said you like him, but he's interested in someone else.
How can he be like that?
Any man would be lucky to have you.
Do you really think so?
Of course. It's hard to find such a pretty, diligent,
and upright girl like you.
You didn't tell Bu Sik about me, did you?
I haven't told him anything yet,
but why shouldn't I? I'm your father.
Please don't.
If you say so, I shouldn't.
I have no right to do that as I'm an incompetent dad.
Why did you end up like this?
You were confident even when you took my handbag.
What has gotten into you?
What are you talking about?
I haven't changed at all.
You should get remarried rather than living like this.
You said she's rich...
and warm-hearted.
If you are concerned about us, we'll pretend not to know you.
So don't walk around with a garbage bag like you did.
I let him stay...
in the room I used to stay in.
I was busy looking for a room to rent, so I skipped dinner.
I see. Eat a lot.
It's so good.
Here you go.
He has to study.
It looks delicious.
Who could it be at this hour?
Myung Jo, could you make a cup of coffee for me?
Sure. I will.
Thank you.
I'll be back shortly.
Ms. Kim looks so pretty.
A woman becomes pretty when she's loved indeed.
What brings you here?
I stepped out because I was hungry and thought of you.
What's this?
This is what I can give to you right now.
My goodness. I can't believe this.
It's carp bread.
That's right. It's carp bread.
- It's still warm. - Yes.
