(Hate to Love You)
(Episode 28)
Hello... My gosh, Mr. Lawyer!
What brings you here?
I'm supposed to meet up with Eun Jo here.
Is that right? Then you should wait for her.
- My gosh. - Oh, hello.
You're here. I haven't seen you in a while.
I've been busy with a case.
I see. Have a seat.
Does that mean you're less busy now?
No, I've taken on a new case,
and it's very interesting.
"Interesting"?
You got me curious. Can I ask what kind of case it is?
Sure thing. A couple who's been divorced is getting remarried,
and their children from previous marriage sued them over inheritance.
I see. That must be very interesting.
I learned that remarriage combined with money issues...
can turn into a really messy war.
They should live happily together after getting remarried.
I guess human greed knows no bounds.
But the problem is registering their marriage.
Living together in the final years of their lives is great,
but registering their marriage is a bit...
Everyone's situation is different though, you know.
What's he saying?
Is he telling me not to register my marriage with Ms. Kim?
They shouldn't do it for their children's sakes, don't you think?
They'll figure out what's best for them.
Goodness. You, young man, are very nosy.
I know for certain that I don't want a son-in-law like you.
Whether it's remarriage or marriage registration,
money is always the source of all problems.
No matter what happens, I'll never have a father-in-law like you.
Gosh. You're young, yet you're very conservative.
I must say, you're very progressive.
My goodness.
Hello.
Hi. My gosh, I took up too much of your time.
- Enjoy your conversation. - Okay, thank you.
Shall we head out?
I'm okay here.
Let's go somewhere nice and eat good food.
Bye.
I wonder what they'll talk about. I wish they stayed here.
He seems more thorough than I thought he'd be.
This place isn't much different.
Isn't that man the one whom Ms. Kim is seeing?
You knew about it too?
I thought you'd be uncomfortable there.
You did the right thing.
What did you want to talk about?
About Ms. Kim...
It looks like things are going well between Ms. Kim and that man.
What stage are they at now?
Well, I think they'll probably end up together.
I guess that means you support it too.
Who am I to be a roadblock in what she wants to do?
I don't have such a right.
Did his ex-wife pass away?
Or did they get divorced?
He said that he and his wife got divorced a long time ago.
Then he must have children too.
I guess so.
I've never thought about it.
Why do you keep asking about him?
How should I put this? It's...
I'm in no position to tell you what I think about this issue, but...
Stop beating around the bush and just say it.
Marriage registration. I don't think they should do it.
Marriage registration?
Like what happened with your father, I hope that the two of them...
just stay friends as well.
They'll decide what to do with things like that.
I'm in no position to tell them what not to do.
Right. That is true, but...
How should I put this?
What's the matter?
Is there a reason Haeng Ja shouldn't register her marriage?
It's...
You won't understand it even if I tell you now.
I'll explain it to you whenever I get a chance.
So if I submit this paperwork,
I can participate in the auction for the beauty center...
or whatever it's called, right?
No, it's a public bidding, not an auction.
Right, that public thing. If I get chosen, I'll become...
the owner of the beauty center, right?
You'll become the general manager of the central branch.
I'll be like owning a franchise location.
Then... What was her name again?
Ms. Terrible, that director. What will happen to her?
Ms. Terrible.
Director Goo Jong Hee will return to the head office.
She was sent to the center to make sure that things run smoothly.
Is that so?
Ms. Kim. By the way, are you thinking of...
giving the beauty center to Ms. Gil Eun Jo by any chance?
You, young man, are quick-witted.
That's right. I'm doing this for Eun Jo.
My gosh, I envy her.
I'd like to meet Mr. Hong Suk Pyo when I sign the agreement.
Please submit your application first.
Goodness, I heard you.
Just a second. I need to finish this as I don't want to waste it.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
- You heard everything, right? - Yes.
By the way, it doesn't look like Director Goo...
has any idea about your plan with the beauty center.
Shouldn't you tell her about it first?
I'll figure it out.
I must say, Ms. Gil and you...
He can't get over her. Why is he acting like that?
All right. Put this purse over there instead of that one.
That's out of style. Put it at the back or store it in the warehouse.
Let's see.
Put this there instead of that one too.
Eun Jo worked on the new display yesterday.
That's why we're not getting any customers.
Eun Jo doesn't have a good eye. She has such bad taste.
Why are you just standing there? Change the display right away.
What on earth are you doing now?
It's just that your aunt...
I'm reorganizing the items.
Hey. You need to improve your eye.
I'm surprised that this shop is still in business.
The business is going quite well. Why would you butt in?
I have my own reasons.
What are the reasons you have to butt in?
I used to sell fake designer bags in the US...
I mean, I saw many people sell them.
I have such a good eye for design.
What does that have to do with this?
Are you trying to pick a fight?
You used to be so intimidated by me. You've come a long way.
Please stop it.
Eun Jo, should I call Ms. Kim?
You're so slow-witted.
If you had been sensitive, you would have...
Never mind.
Aunt, you told me that several times before.
You keep saying I'm slow-witted. Stop beating around the bush.
What do you mean by that?
I'll tell you what it means.
What would I have noticed if I had been sensitive?
What are you talking about?
Well, it's... I didn't say anything. I really didn't.
I want to talk to you now.
Hey. I'll take over this pawnshop soon.
So don't think of anything else other than getting married.
Take over this shop? Did she mean what I'm thinking?
My goodness.
How dare you...
Why? I didn't say anything to her.
But I can't trust myself.
What did you just say?
But I didn't say anything wrong.
It's true that Eun Jo is slow-witted.
What did you mean before?
What?
Why are you having an eye on this pawnshop?
You acted like you'd leave if I give you a chunk of money.
You've got a lot of nerve to say such a thing.
Actually, I got caught selling fake designer bags in the US...
I can't go back to the US for a while.
What?
I'm just trying to make a living. I don't have any other intention.
So is your agenda to take over my pawnshop and stay here?
Agenda?
Gosh. That hurts my feelings.
Haeng Ja, listen. I'll be a good aunt to Eun Jo...
and make sure to keep it a secret.
So can you please let me work here?
You could've told me that earlier. Why did you ask me for money?
I meant to start a business if you give me money.
I could do anything here since I have no language barrier.
The US? I hate it there.
If you want to work here, listen to Eun Jo.
If you cause any trouble, you'll get fired.
Haeng Ja.
Wait.
What now?
Is there any hair salon you know?
My messy hair keeps me from thinking straight.
Your hair looks just fine.
Just tell me if you know any hair salon.
I do know one. Why?
Is it cheap?
(Sook's Hair Salon)
This is unbelievable.
I never thought I'd end up getting my hair done at such a tacky place.
Be patient. I should bear with it.
Welcome.
- What? - Look.
I'm here to get my hair trimmed.
Are you going to keep me standing here?
No, no. Please come and sit down here.
Okay.
Ms. Jang, she's ready.
Oh, okay.
So... Do you want me to trim it as it is?
Just don't cut it too short, please.
Ms. Jang, did you hear the news?
What news?
I think this town really is ill-fated for newbies.
Something bad happens to every woman who moves to our town.
Whom are you talking about?
You know the newlywed bride who lives in the house with a blue door.
She miscarried as soon as she moved to this town.
And the old lady who lives in the house right back of it...
fell all the way down those stairs a week after she moved.
She's in a hospital wearing a full body cast.
I know.
You look like you're new here. Please be careful.
This town is a bit ill-fated for newbies.
A bit? It's horribly brutal.
To think of it as superstition, too many strange things happened.
Exactly.
- Maybe we need an exorcism. - You're right.
Ma'am, I'll begin now.
No, wait. I... I'll come back later.
But... Why? Are you leaving now?
I just realized that I forgot something important to do.
- I'm sorry. - Ma'am. Ma'am?
You're so mean. Did you really have to go that far?
You're the one who scared her with the hair trimmer.
I had to trim her hair. I had no choice.
This is so fun.
- We make such a good team. - Exactly.
When did you come? Why are you standing there?
So is the woman who just left the one Dad is dating?
That's what I heard.
You should've given me a heads up.
I didn't even notice you entering.
Where? Is she at the hair salon now?
She's gone.
Why didn't you call me? I should've seen her.
What difference would it have made?
Do you want a cup of coffee? I just made it, so it's good.
All right.
Jong Hee is more than a mom to you.
I feel bad because you two are on bad terms these days.
I'm sorry for causing trouble.
Yesterday,
you asked us what kind of person your mom was, right?
I can answer that question.
What kind of person was she that you remember?
I don't know how to put it.
In a word, she was pitiful.
Pitiful?
When she suddenly lost her parents and moved in with my family,
your mom was only 10.
She walked on eggshells around my family and did all the chores.
I have eight siblings.
There's none of us whom your mom didn't take care of.
She lived such a tough life.
I've never heard that.
Right. You probably haven't. She never let it show.
Your mom was such a tenacious person who never let her guard down...
even in her sleep.
I'm sure she had to become tenacious in order to survive.
That's probably why she was so strict to you.
I'm just a punk and good-for-nothing,
but Jong Hee worries about you wholeheartedly.
Of course, she's picky and annoys you sometimes.
However, her affection for you...
is always true.
I know that. I crossed the line last time.
Jong Hee is the one who is really pitiful.
I've done so many wrong things to her.
Thanks for the coffee.
Let me know if you want to hear more about your mom.
I'll tell you everything.
Thank you.
He just said, "Thank you." That's not like him.
Did you hear everything?
Yes.
Then it'll be easy to tell you.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. When you said my face reminds you of your mom,
I reflected on myself.
Let's try not to hurt each other's feelings.
I know how you feel better than anyone else. I crossed the line too.
All right. I'll accept your apology.
But don't push me when it comes to the company matters.
As long as I'm the CEO, I'm going to run the company in my way.
That's a risky thought.
The executives don't care about the progress.
They only care about the results.
Whatever they say, I won't change my mind about how to run the company.
When it comes to work, you have to follow my opinion.
He suddenly changed his tone.
That won't happen.
I'll never give in when it comes to work either.
Why?
Is there a reason Haeng Ja shouldn't register her marriage?
How should I explain to her without making her upset?
You should go to sleep now. Why would you drink coffee at this hour?
I'll get a bit more work done.
Hey, tell me more about that thing.
What thing?
You said that someone's remarriage turned into war over money.
The case you're working on now.
A woman got divorced and gave up her custody over her child.
She missed her child so much,
but her ex-husband wouldn't let her see the kid.
I feel so bad for her.
To mothers, their children mean everything.
That's why she focused on saving money,
and she was able to build wealth.
After that, she got remarried...
to a fellow divorcee.
The two of them lived very happily,
but the woman died suddenly,
and her husband inherited all of her money and assets.
Why? Because they had registered their marriage.
Does that mean her child from her previous marriage will get nothing?
That's right.
That's why her son sued him.
But the real problem begins now.
That man who remarried that woman...
also died suddenly due to an accident.
What? So what happened?
Because he died,
all of the money and assets he inherited from the woman...
went to his children from his previous marriage.
That's crazy.
That's why the messy war began.
Goodness, that's totally crazy.
Her son must be beyond furious.
That's why remarriage shouldn't be taken lightly,
and people must be even more careful with marriage registration.
What is this? It sounds like you're subtly trying to threaten me.
You don't even have any money to lose.
That is true.
In the first trial, the court ruled...
that all of her money and assets should be inherited to his children,
and the second trial is going on now.
What? That is outrageous.
What kind of law is that? Even I'm getting so angry.
Anyway, don't stay up too late. Try to get some sleep, okay?
Good grief.
But the thing is that it can happen to anyone.
How can you sell a 1,000-dollar gift certificate for 100 dollars?
Have you lost your mind or what?
I'm sorry.
You must be thorough when cashing out clients.
There's nothing we can do if they insist on not paying the difference.
If there are any losses, you'll have to take responsibility.
Me?
The one who made the mistake should be responsible for it.
Do you think that the company is a charity organization or what?
You made another mistake the other day. Are you dating someone now?
Where's your mind at?
I'm sorry.
Hello, welcome.
This way, please. You can take this table.
Order when you're ready.
What's this?
It's a book that has some of my favorite poems.
I thought you'd like them too.
- Poems? - Yes.
Gosh. My goodness.
Oh, my.
I put them in there because I was reminiscing the old days.
It's okay, right?
Gosh, of course it is.
I feel like I'm back to being a high school girl.
I've always felt this, but you're so positive about everything.
No, not all the time.
My gosh. Anyway, thanks to you,
I feel so rich mentally these days.
Dad, can we meet up briefly?
Well, I have to excuse myself for a moment.
- Sure, go ahead. - Thank you.
Did something happen?
Dad, you said that you want to become a shield for us.
You meant it, right?
Of course.
Oh, the lady I'm seeing is at the cafe now. Do you want to say hello?
Right now?
Never mind. I should pick a day to introduce her to you properly.
Not hastily like this.
I am curious about what kind of person she is.
I'll pick a good day for everyone and let you know.
In Jung will come too, right?
Of course. She's very interested too.
All right.
Ms. Jung, Ms. Jung In Woo.
Gosh, what are you doing there?
Yes, Manager Gong. I'm coming.
Something must be going on.
Just hang in there.
I'll make that lawyer who looks like a weasel beg you on his knees.
Are you really going to be like this?
You're so bullheaded. Who do you take after?
This purse doesn't suit that spot over there.
This purse is bang on trend in the US at the moment.
Don't be stubborn if you don't know a thing.
Aunt, why do you keep meddling in my work?
What? Goodness, I'm speechless.
Give us some privacy for a few minutes.
Okay.
Why are you kicking her out?
Aunt.
What? Calling me like that doesn't scare me.
Aunt, why aren't you fond of me?
I get that many people favor boys over girls, but this is too much.
Did I do something wrong to you?
There must be a reason, so please tell me.
I'll fix it if it's something I can change.
There's no such thing.
Then don't meddle in what I do ever again,
and stop coming here.
- What? - This is my workplace.
Even Haeng Ja doesn't tell me what to do or what not to do.
You're being ridiculous.
This is exactly why I can't stand you.
You're... You're...
I mean you're...
You bring bad luck.
- Sorry? - Since you became our family...
I mean, things started going downhill for us when you were born.
We had to sell the lands we had left and even got scammed.
All of that happened within a year after you were born.
That's why I didn't even get any wedding gifts when I got married.
Your dad got so angry at me when I said these things,
but that's what I think, and no one has the right to tell me off.
That's why I'm not fond of you.
I just can't like you.
Do you still think that I'm being too mean?
Was I too harsh on her?
Whatever. She has to hear what she needs to know.
She should thank me for not telling her about her being a foster child.
Our family went bankrupt three years after you became our family.
That's why I can't help but hate you.
We don't even know where she comes from.
I told him multiple times we shouldn't adopt her.
All right. I should see that woman first.
I have the right to see what kind of woman Dad is dating.
It's been such a long time. You remember me, right?
Well, I'm not sure.
We said that we'll exchange names if we run into each other again.
I'm busy at the moment.
I'm busy too.
All right. Follow me, then.
Okay, I won't repeat myself, so listen carefully.
I'm Jung In Jung. It sounds the same backwards.
- I'm Gil Myung Jo. - I know.
I'm two years older than you, so you better be polite to me.
You're a student, and I work.
All right.
Then we're clear, right?
Be polite to me from now on.
Is buying this milk for me your way of telling me to grow up first?
Maybe.
I got the message. I'll drink it and grow up more until I see you next.
Then all will be good, right?
What's going on? Why is my heart skipping beats?
This is crazy.
Dad said that he'll pick a day to invite us.
Are you crazy? I won't go.
Not including you, Mom.
You'll go, right?
Hey, can't you hear me?
What? What did you say?
Dad wants us to have a meal with the lady he's seeing. Will you come?
Why not?
Do you want to go?
What's wrong?
Nothing. Don't mind me.
No, this can't be happening.
Why is she acting odd while eating?
She must have a lot to think about since Dad is getting remarried.
I'm sorry.
If we had lived together happily, this would have never happened.
The love in your eyes I felt when I first saw you.
Was it all my delusion?
Your cheerful smile.
Made me a fool.
On the day you left me.
The countless shiny memories I kept in my heart.
They're beautiful.
Don't be embarrassed. You have beautiful hands.
My goodness.
All I can give you are things like this.
Look at this. My gosh.
It's carp bread.
Check this.
- Here? - Yes.
- Okay. - Good.
And...
Check this one too.
I didn't know there was such a good place like this in Seoul.
Of course. There are many places like this in Seoul.
Hello, Ms. Kim.
Hello... Mr. Jung, please spare me some time tomorrow.
I want to go somewhere with you.
I feel that this place means a lot to you somehow.
This is it.
This is where I scattered my husband's ashes.
I see.
You must be surprised because I took you here all of a sudden.
I assumed as much.
You know... I don't even know how my parents look.
When I woke up, I found myself in the bathroom.
In the bathroom?
I guess I was never sweet-tempered as a child.
I ran away from the orphanage...
and slept in the bathroom of different buildings every night.
That's how I grew up.
How old were you at that time?
I think I was 5 or 6.
I'm sorry.
One day, I was so hungry.
So I tried to steal from a man who looked so kind.
He was Mr. Gil's father.
That's how I met Mr. Gil.
His father...
He called me over to his house on national holidays...
to feed me a nice, warm meal.
That food was...
what kept me going.
I stopped sleeping in a bathroom.
I stayed and worked at a pawnshop to which Mr. Gil referred me.
Meanwhile, he served in the military,
became a school teacher,
got married, and had two children.
And then he lost his wife.
Oh, no. I'm being silly.
You can cry as much as you want.
The only ones I could trust were Mr. Gil and money.
That's why I worked so hard to make money.
And...
the two precious children whom Mr. Gil left for me,
Eun Jo and Myung Jo.
I could not turn a blind eye to them.
I knew how abandoned children grow up...
better than anyone else.
You did a good job in raising them.
Of course, I did.
No.
They grew up well.
Then you must live your own life from now on.
I'm not good enough, but I'll help you.
Will you really do that for me?
Of course.
All right. Then let's give that a try.
All right. Let's give it a try.
