(Hate to Love You)
(Episode 44)
No matter what anyone says, this is your home.
And those who live with you now are your family.
Thanks for everything today.
Do you feel a bit better now?
You should go in now.
Haeng Ja, I'm home.
Oh, hey.
You're still up? It's late.
How could she sleep when you aren't home yet?
Were you with Bu Sik until now?
What? Well...
Haeng Ja, don't be silly.
Can't you see that she's blushing?
Where were you, and what did you do?
My goodness. Hey, you're worse than me.
Stop it.
I have a presentation tomorrow at the beauty center.
I was preparing for it.
Haeng Ja.
Thank you.
Why are you being like this? What now?
I bet she's grateful. Just looking at the center must fill her up.
Don't be like that. Aunt is right.
Aunt, you must've been really upset because of me too.
I didn't get your point and frustrated you.
What?
What... What do you mean, Eun Jo?
Well, one of my colleagues at the center is pretty slow-witted.
She's tactless, and she never gets my point. She frustrates me so much,
and I thought I might have made Aunt feel the same way.
That thought just came to my mind.
I should go get some rest.
- I'm tired. - All right, go on.
I was so surprised because it sounded like she knows something.
What is the matter with her these days?
Is it because the work at the center is too much for her?
(Sook's Hair Salon)
Hello?
Yes, I know. I know. I know that,
but do you really have to do this so early in the morning?
I'm only two days late on the interest payment.
I've been paying it well on time until now.
This is the first time I'm late. Why are you rushing me like this?
That's ridiculous. How can you tell me to pay off the principal too now?
Hello? Are you there?
What's going on? Did you borrow money from someone?
It sounded like it was about a debt.
Oh, did you hear that?
I needed to buy the equipment and renovate the shop.
You know I was having financial difficulties back then.
No wonder. When you bought new equipment and renovated here,
you kept complaining how you didn't have enough money to pay the rent.
I had to earn money to pay the rent for the house or the shop.
Who lent you that money and gives you a hard time?
Well...
Since Ms. Kim stopped lending money to others,
it was hard to find a way to borrow money urgently.
Did you take out a private loan?
You must've lost your mind.
How much?
10,000 dollars.
I thought I would be able to pay it off soon.
But because of the new beauty parlor,
my business was slow last month.
Taking out a private loan is dangerous.
If you're late paying the interest,
- it would be even more dangerous. - Whatever. It'll sort itself out.
I already have so much to resolve other than this.
I don't think it'll sort itself out.
This fixed deposit account is going to expire soon.
And I will renew these accounts.
And...
What are you doing?
I am surrendering to you with a white flag.
I lost.
What happened yesterday was all my fault.
That's not necessarily the case. I know that much.
Let's set a new rule.
We shouldn't meddle in each other's kids' affairs.
Only when one brings it up, the other may talk about it. Okay?
- That sounds good. Let's do that. - Okay.
Also, about your credit card...
- Ms. Kim, please come out now. - Yes?
Well... Okay. I'll be out.
- Then let's talk about it later. - Okay.
My credit card? What about it?
No way. Does she get a text message...
whenever I use it?
She's scary indeed.
That's that. It must be somewhere in here.
It's not here.
He said it's in this office. Where could it be?
Byun Bu Sik speaking.
- It's me, In Woo's dad. - I know.
I'm in her office in the pawnshop.
Where is it? I've been looking for it, but it's nowhere to be found.
Oh, that?
In this envelope, there are copies of the real estate registration...
of the lands and buildings I bought...
because my former lawyer, Lawyer Noh, recommended.
They only caused me trouble.
I see.
Lawyer Noh quit working for me because of this problem...
and his old age.
Thanks to him, I made a lot of money by investing in real estate,
but he made a big mistake at the end.
Where are they?
In fact, I haven't gone there yet.
I checked everything thoroughly when it comes to real estate.
When a bad thing happens, even things that can't go wrong go wrong.
I don't know what I was thinking. I left it all to Lawyer Noh.
I didn't suffer a loss,
but they can't seem to sell.
So I think I should sell them first. You can do it, right?
Of course. You must know in which area they are, right?
I heard it's somewhere in North Gyeonggi Province.
I didn't even take a look at it because it gave me headaches.
I put them on the market, but my real estate agent hasn't called me.
- Lower prices than market value... - It'd be nice to sell them soon,
but I would prefer to sell them at fair prices.
I understand.
Have you found it?
Yes. That's the one.
I can get a power of attorney with her registered seal,
and there are some properties...
that you can sell without a problem just as you want.
What would you like to do?
I guess you heard good news over the phone?
What are you so curious about?
Nothing.
Well, where is Haeng Ja?
She went out to meet someone from the merchants' association.
Last night, a shop upstairs got robbed.
I think that's why they're meeting.
What would there be to steal in this building?
Well, is this shop secure?
Of course. Haeng Ja is very cautious.
Isn't she?
Absolutely. She changes the door lock passcode often,
and if you enter the wrong passcode five times,
people from the security company come here in five minutes.
That's a relief.
Are there any security cameras in the shop?
Ms. Kim doesn't like that.
Right. I'm against security cameras too.
It feels like someone is watching me.
Still, she should've at least told me the door lock passcode.
Sometimes, I open the shop.
Well, that's...
It's okay. He's our family. Go ahead.
It's not so complicated.
Eun Jo, Myung Jo, and Ms. Kim's birthdays.
She uses them in turn.
Gosh. She can be sloppy sometimes.
You haven't done your assignment? How could you be like this?
Ms. Jung, Ms. Gil, keep yourselves together.
Ms. Gil, what's the reason?
What about you, Ms. Jung?
I've been thinking about it a lot,
but 100 dollars are not enough...
Because you know I'll return to the head office,
do you think I'm a joke?
But I'm sorry to disappoint you.
I will stay here for a while.
Ms. Kim, who took over this shop, asked me to do so,
and the head office decided to let me stay longer too.
I guess you didn't hear that, Ms. Gil.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Jung, you know that you barely passed the makeup test...
by retaking the test not so long ago, don't you?
Yes, I do.
You said life is unpredictable. Is this how you'll lose your job?
Don't forget that this assignment is your last assignment.
I will give you two more time.
Give us a presentation on Monday.
Leave now, and prepare for it.
She's neither flexible,
positive, nor creative.
I will make sure to fire Jung In Woo before I return to the head office.
Hello?
So? Where?
The place near the head office?
I understand. Thank you, Secretary Jung.
It's going to be a wild family meeting.
Hi, Lawyer Byun. This is Goo Jong Hee.
Would you like to have lunch with me today?
Are you free?
We got a lot of positive responses from the clothing merchants.
The responses from our staff are similar too.
This is the reply from the consulting company.
It's the same as what they said before.
It says that the products are good especially for dry skin type.
It's true that the market conditions are not ideal as Director Goo said,
but I'm sure it's competitive if we develop and promote them like this.
So the only problem is the fund?
Yes.
It's not that there's no way.
I already told you. You can't sell your shares.
See how much money I can borrow with my properties as security.
Yes, sir.
Why can't they give me some time?
I'm frustrated about that too.
What's up, Myung Jo?
Myung Jo?
- Bu Sik. - Hey, In Woo.
What brings you here?
Oh, I'm meeting someone for lunch nearby.
I should thank the witch... I mean, Director Goo.
She picked me out of everyone to run an errand for her.
You still don't get along with her?
We'll probably never get along.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I should get going.
- Go in. - Okay.
In Woo, it's been a long time.
Hong Suk.
You seem to be doing great.
What is it about? I'm busy.
I'm curious about something. Can I ask you a question?
Yes, go ahead.
I saw you walking with Mr. Byun Bu Sik earlier.
May I ask what kind of relationship you have with him?
You saw us?
You two looked very close.
Yes, we are. I'm going to marry him.
Pardon?
Why are you so surprised?
From what I heard, he's engaged to someone else...
I don't know what you heard from whom,
but they're all groundless rumors.
What I'm telling you now is the truth.
Bu Sik and I go back a long way.
That's all you need to know.
They "go back a long way"?
What is going on?
Then what has he been doing with Eun Jo all this time?
- Come in. - Okay.
You...
You came on time. Hello.
What is going on?
Well, it's not like we don't know each other.
One more person is joining us.
Everyone is here now.
I've wanted to arrange something like this for some time.
You're okay with this, right?
Well, it's a bit sudden,
but it's my son whom you invited, so I'm fine with it.
I thought this appointment was made in advance.
It doesn't matter. What matters is that all of us are here now.
Shouldn't you be more considerate of...
Director Goo is right.
It's not easy for all of us to get together like this.
Choong Seo, this is a rare delicacy.
It's delicious. Try it.
Hold on.
I should give one to my son too.
Here, Son. Try this.
My gosh. Would you like some too, Director Goo?
I guess you're not sharp-eyed.
- Pardon? - I don't eat fish.
I've never even touched any dishes that have fish in them.
We're all busy eating the food. Who'd notice such details?
Aren't I right, Mr. Byun?
You're dating his mother. Shouldn't you call him differently?
Shouldn't that depend on how their relationship pans out?
Are you trying to say you haven't approved of their relationship yet?
Is that what you mean?
I'm saying that we should wait and see.
Why are you being like this?
I thought Jong Hee was the only one we needed to worry about.
It looks like there's another scary person.
The same goes to this meeting too.
Shouldn't you have informed everyone in advance?
I said that I'm okay with it.
I apologize on her behalf.
Don't all of us know each other?
I just thought we should have lunch together.
Mr. Byun, I didn't think you'd be so prickly.
Gosh, you shouldn't have said anything.
She was so rude to you, Mom.
The way she talked, the look on her face, and her attitude.
This is unlike you. Why are you so cranky today?
I wanted to show her that I got your back.
Bu Sik.
Mom, I know that you haven't been treated well.
Back then, I was young and powerless.
I let it slide even though it upset me, but I won't anymore.
Nobody has any right to be rude to you or mistreat you.
Choong Seo is sweet to me.
And Director Goo has become a bit softer than when we first met.
You two can become close, but she still needs to be polite to you.
If she treats you like that once again, I won't let it slide.
You shouldn't put up with it either.
Thank you, Son.
But she's being like that on purpose.
On purpose? Why?
Well, it's sort of like a power trip.
Hey, I've gotten pretty savvy with things like this, so don't worry.
You look tired. I shouldn't have asked you to meet up today.
It's okay.
Did something happen?
Recently,
my girlfriend and I broke up.
I guess you liked her a lot.
I'm not sure.
We were just starting out.
Then why did you two break up?
It's because...
She is...
She's two years older than me.
That's a surprise. So?
She's...
the daughter of...
- the man Haeng Ja is seeing. - What?
It's funny, right?
We found out about it when we had just become a couple,
so I gave up on her right away.
I knew I'd be heartbroken, but I thought I'd be able to move on.
But you think about her more as time goes on. Is that what's happening?
That's right.
Have you talked to Haeng Ja about it?
How can I talk to her about it?
What if she decides to give up on him because of me?
I've told you before.
I can't beat her.
I don't want to beat her either.
But this time, it's...
It's upsetting.
You must be distressed.
But I'll try to forget her.
Venting to you like this makes me feel a bit better.
I know that you're going through a hard time now,
but I envy you.
You envy me?
Why?
Hearing this gives me an idea of how Ms. Kim raised you and Eun Jo.
That's why I envy you.
I didn't know that someone could envy me.
What's wrong?
Over there. He's the man Haeng Ja is seeing.
I'll have to say hello to him if he sees me, and most importantly,
I just don't want him to see me now.
Well, I told you that I'll pay you back. Why are you being like this?
Right, so pay us back immediately.
Don't be like this. There are proper steps for everything.
Goodness. I guess you like doing things by the book.
Jung Sook!
What... What's going on?
They want me to pay them back now.
Look, you shouldn't harass people like this over 10,000 dollars.
Don't do that.
10,000 dollars?
She now owes us 45,000 dollars because of the accumulated interest.
Gosh, that's a total scam.
My son is a lawyer. You wait right here.
I'll tell him everything...
Gosh! What are you doing now?
- I'm sorry. My hands slipped. - I... I'll pay you back.
Just a second, please.
I'll... I'll call my daughter now...
and tell her to pay you back soon.
Are you going to call In Woo?
She has no money. How will she pay that back for you?
You better not be calling the police.
Look. It says "Daughter" here. I am calling my daughter.
In Woo, please pick up quickly.
What?
- Please stop it. - What's going on?
- Mom. - Stop it.
- Why are you doing this? - Gosh.
- I said I will pay you back. - Mom.
- Mom, is something going on there? - Oh, no.
What should I do?
Mom.
Dad. Dad.
My dad. Where is he?
Your dad?
- What's going on? - It's none of your business.
Dad.
- Let's go. Hurry. - What's wrong?
What are you doing?
"Dad"?
Was Mr. Jung the dad of that girl from the beauty center?
Didn't you know?
Didn't Haeng Ja tell you that?
Lately, Ms. Kim keeps a lot of secrets from me too.
Bo Geum, it looks like something happened at the hair salon.
I heard smashing sounds and screams from her phone.
- Should I just stay out of it? - Is that so?
My senses tell me that it's one or another.
What are they?
It's either about a man or money.
I don't think it's about a man.
Then it's money.
Gosh. Ms. Kim would resolve a problem like this at once.
Shouldn't I tell Haeng Ja?
Mr. Jung's family members are in trouble.
Dad, what are you doing? Hurry up.
I'm coming.
However, I don't think I will be of any help.
In Woo, wait up.
Isn't that...
What's going on?
Was In Woo's dad the man Ms. Kim is dating?
I mean, she needs to work to pay you back.
Our customers ran away because you two are sitting there.
Please.
- In Woo. In Woo. - Mom.
What are you doing here?
Darn it.
What do you think a debt collector would be doing?
So how much money does she owe you?
Why? Will you pay for her debt instead?
She owes 45,000 dollars.
How... How much?
You can't add that much money.
I'll call my son. Let's take it to court.
That little...
You signed the contract.
Why did you borrow that much money?
I borrowed only 10,000 dollars.
They're doing this because I'm two days late paying the interest.
Geun Sup, why are you standing there without saying anything?
I am just a passer-by.
Dad.
I see. You're her dad, right?
I'm her dad,
but I have nothing to do with the debtor.
It looks like you're loan sharks,
and you charged unreasonably high interest rates.
Why isn't Bu Sik coming?
Did you even call him?
Of course I did. He must be busy.
I can't let my precious son get involved in a situation like this.
Oh, no.
Gosh. Stop it.
I can't believe that jerk.
I think you should clean up your shop again, right?
We'll leave it at this today.
We'll come back tomorrow.
They will come back tomorrow. What should I do?
Dad!
The show is over. Get out of my way.
It's been a while.
Hello.
You're coming from this hair salon, right?
Can I talk to you briefly? Come with me.
(Sook's Hair Salon)
I'm relieved. I just have to pay the principal in 15 days.
However, isn't it strange?
What are you talking about?
They threatened you to pay 45,000 dollars all day long.
Why did they change their mind?
Did Bu Sik talk to them?
I heard it's illegal these days.
- Bu Sik? - I don't even know.
Whoever did it, the problem has been resolved.
I just have to get 10,000 dollars in 15 days.
How are you going to do that?
I'll have to rack my brain.
How could you even think of borrowing money from a loan shark?
How could I have asked you and In Jung for money again?
You took out a loan when the rent of the shop was raised,
and In Jung took out a loan for the rental deposit of this house.
It's never-ending.
Gosh. Your dad bluffed, but...
What was that earlier?
You saw that, right?
Ms. Kim's money belongs to Ms. Kim.
Don't tell In Jung about what happened today.
Did you tell her already?
She should also know the situation we're in.
Jung Geun Sup, how did you end up like this?
No.
Just think about being a good dad before you die.
Enter the passcode.
Invalid passcode.
It's not Eun Jo's birthday.
In that case...
Invalid passcode.
It's not Myung Jo's birthday either.
Then...
Could it be Haeng Ja's birthday?
Invalid passcode.
Hey. Your exam is over,
and it's a holiday. Why are you staying in your room?
You're making me worry.
I was watching a movie.
You should watch a movie in the cinema.
This is more comfortable.
Myung Jo, do you...
- The girl at the hair salon... - I'm fine now.
Are you serious?
"She looks like a nice girl. Shall I date her?"
That was all.
If I had dragged it on, I might have...
eloped with In Jung.
All right. I'll believe you.
However, what do you think about the adoption?
Are you still against it?
Give me just a little more time.
I also need some time to convince my mom and dad.
Goodness. I'm so proud of you.
Don't worry about me, and take care of Eun Jo.
Why? What's with Eun Jo?
- Didn't she tell you? - About what?
I think she broke up with the lawyer.
I don't know what exactly happened.
You have to ask her.
So you think that's the case, right?
Yes.
Yes, Mother. It's me, Bu Sik.
Hi. Can you spare me some time?
I'm sorry for calling you over on a holiday.
It's okay.
Yes. Okay. Then I'll see you at my office.
Okay. Bye.
If I keep trying for days, I'll figure it out eventually.
Please enter the password.
You've entered an incorrect password.
So it's neither her birthday...
nor her phone number.
Then...
The door has been unlocked.
It's the day we registered ourselves as married.
Finally...
