I'm sorry I'm late.
(Episode 23)
Jin Woo.
He's here at last. Let's roll.
- I apologize. - What took you so long?
I was waiting for you.
- Hey! - Chicken?
You're here to work?
You never waste a moment.
Oh, dear. Careful!
Why are you hot to the touch?
You're like an electric blanket.
Why do you think?
I wouldn't know.
Come on, Jin Woo. Let's get to work.
We wasted loads of time waiting for you.
- Here. - I'm to hold this up?
You've been working out, right?
Is this the part-time job you called me to do?
Why would a fit kid like you complain about this?
I delivered so many fried chickens.
I can barely lift a spoon.
Hey.
Mr. Yoon will get the wrong idea.
That you're trying to get out of a job you don't want to do.
Watch your expressions.
Smile.
You didn't mention a theater.
Did I not?
Oh, did I send you a different address?
Too bad.
That's what you're saying? "Too bad?"
I told you to watch your expression.
Try to look sincere and hardworking.
Make him want to teach you.
Maintain your image.
Mr. Producer, shall we start?
Yes, let's begin.
I'll make you look pretty.
Let's start with your makeup.
What's up with him? He's creepy.
How old were you when you got married?
My wife was 16 and I was 15.
Gosh.
That's too young by today's standards.
It is.
I missed my mom so much,
I cried every day.
Take them to my room.
Okay.
Mom, I'm home!
Are your friends gone?
Mom.
Are you asleep?
Is she drained after all the chatting?
Let's unpack my haul.
What should I unpack first?
Which should I open first? Eenie, meenie, minie, moe.
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding.
This one.
Wait. Will they want an unboxing video?
I can't wait until then.
Oh, whatever. Dad will buy me stuff for that.
Mom.
Hwa Soon.
You can wait your turn.
Okay.
I'll ask you point blink.
- Isn't it "point blank?" - Silent.
- You mean "silence." - Shush!
How do you feel about Se Na?
What incredible timing.
Did I just turn on the TV right before the climax?
Turn off the regional broadcast.
Why are you so serious?
At Shine's tenth anniversary party or something or other.
Se Na fainted and you picked her up?
Why did you leave that bit out?
How long were you going to...
Okay. I'll let that slide.
Why were you watching her?
Why did you take her to the hospital as if you were someone special?
Tell me everything.
- That's what this is about? - How do you feel?
Mom. If a complete stranger collapses in front of you,
we administer CPR. That's the Korean way.
It's only right to help out someone you don't know.
Se Na, whom I grew up with like a family, fainted in front of me.
Should I have just stood and gaped?
Is that what you raised me to do?
No.
I'd have rushed to help even if it weren't Se Na.
It just happened to be Se Na this time.
Mok Chan, this is how caring the son I raised is.
I start work on Monday.
I'm meeting friends for a drink.
Oh, okay. You should have two or three drinks, not just one.
Why do you think I work?
- I have money. - Okay.
See you.
He's my son, but he's a work of art.
Oh, now I get it.
That's why Se Na got Do Hyun a gift.
What? The brat got Do Hyun something?
She bought a man's watch.
It was a really expensive brand.
She put it on the chairman's credit card.
She has a conscience, then.
She should get him something like that, seeing Do Hyun saved her life.
- Get me some water. - Okay.
You never stop talking about wanting a rich daughter-in-law,
so why do you dislike Se Na so much?
She has looked down on Do Hyun since they were kids.
I hated her so much for that.
I don't mind if I get looked down on,
but if someone looks down on my son,
it feels like a burning piece of coal this big is scalding me.
My eyes bulge, you know.
I might not be rich and I might not have a degree,
but I put up with it all because this was the best place...
where I could look after you and raise Do Hyun.
Even if I felt so angry my insides were burning,
I cooled my insides this far, only because we had to survive.
But now my son's a prosecutor.
Why should I settle for a girl who habitually looks down on him?
You have a point.
I can't stand her mom either.
Let's be honest.
If Do Hyun helped Se Na, shouldn't she have at least said thanks?
My gosh.
She zipped her mouth shut and was never going to say a thing.
How did you find out, then?
Chairman Ha's wife told me.
Oh, did she?
Ta-da.
Don't you think this baby would suit me so well?
This and this are a perfect look.
I'll wear it when I see Jin Woo.
Bye.
The person is unable to answer the phone.
What's he doing that I still can't reach him?
It's so annoying.
What do you like about your wife?
She's a good cook.
- Is she? - Yes.
What does she...
I'm sorry, sir.
Jin Woo, you can't mess it up like this.
He looks tired. How about we take a break?
Whose fault is this?
Why is he glaring at me?
Sir, did that hurt?
He's tall but not fit at all.
Sir. You're mistaken.
- I'm not weak or... - Listen.
You're tall and all, but you won't stop shaking.
You need to strengthen yourself up.
That's not true. There's a reason for this,
and it's a long story.
I'm as fit as I look, actually,
but I'm healthy on the inside too.
I'm quite the man,
and I'm not weak at all in any way.
I'm a great guy in every way.
It's such a shame that I can't prove it.
Listen.
I married when I was 15,
and I had ten children.
Is that true?
Eight of them were boys.
Good for you, sir.
A man must be strong.
They need nothing else. Just strength.
You'll never get married at this rate.
You're very mistaken, sir.
I'm mistaken?
You're weak from top to bottom.
You're practically malnourished.
Do you do well in school?
That's your only way out now.
I'm sorry, Jin Woo.
He might burst into tears.
Stop teasing him.
I wish I could show you!
This isn't fair!
(Hwarak Barbecue Chicken)
My gosh.
Your shoulders are so stiff.
It's because you worked every single day this month.
You're overdoing it.
That's enough. You're just trying to slack off.
You've noticed?
There's no one to deliver the food,
and the ankle I sprained on the stairs yesterday is acting up.
I should warm it up.
I'll drop you off on the way. Watch Sol's shoot.
You must be curious.
Okay.
The delivery guy?
You know him?
Yes.
What's he mumbling to himself?
The national anthem.
The national anthem?
He sang all four verses multiple times.
What is it?
The person is unable to...
This is stupid.
Is he in trouble?
Is something wrong with his phone?
The witch.
The evil brat.
Your nickname just came to mind.
You groveled to me and brown-nosed me so much,
and smiled at me whenever I spoke, so you were called Sam Wol.
You groveled to me hard like a servant girl would...
so you could marry Seonju Group's chairman.
Now that you're his wife, do you think you're my equal?
Don't you see reason?
"An icy witch?"
Are we friends just because our husbands are?
Think carefully if you're even on the right level.
I'm a princess, you're a servant girl.
How dare she say that?
The cruel wench stabbed me in the heart and twisted the blade.
I bet her blood's ice-cold and blue.
Honey. When will you be home?
I miss you. Can you come home quick?
Why did she have to irritate me?
You were called a princess because you were young.
If you do that now, you'll be called a witch.
An icy witch.
I did nothing at all. She came at me first.
We're a capitalist country.
What is capitalism?
You make money with money. Money earns.
So invest. That's my point.
Could you tell us the secret of your leadership?
The secret of my leadership?
To put it simply, it's trust.
I must make my employees trust me.
Can we take the slot we discussed earlier?
I know it's prime-time.
Our company's survival hangs on it.
Will you please help us out?
You have to, okay? Bye.
- Did you pick something? - Yes.
How about this? I think red will suit her.
Mr. Kang will throw a fit if he sees that. Forget it.
What about this? A challenging spirit...
How long will it take to post 500,000 comments?
Okay. And how much?
How many can you do at most by then?
I'll call once I wire the money.
What the heck are we doing?
I joined to create a brand, not post fake comments online.
I must make the employees, the public, the consumers...
and the women who love Shine Cosmetics...
trust in me.
To do that, I must have everything.
Knowledge, character, humanity,
and on top of that, respect for my staff and women.
And also unlimited love and passion for cosmetics.
I believe you used to manage a construction company.
What got you interested in cosmetics?
I think Korean women are the most beautiful in the whole world.
And out of them all, I think my wife's especially beautiful.
You're such a doting husband.
Every morning, I watch my wife sit before her mirror...
and put on her makeup.
That's how I start my alluring and mysterious day.
The spines on a cactus used to be its leaves.
Why are you suddenly talking about cacti?
Listen.
It gets really hot in deserts.
The sun and heat dried up the moisture in the leaves,
and to survive, the cacti kept reducing the size of their leaves.
That's how they turned into thorns.
I see.
The hard, thin spikes...
were ideal for cacti that live in the hot, dry climate.
It also works as a defense mechanism.
The reason you were so prickly and mean to your friend today...
might have been because you wanted to protect yourself.
Like a cactus in a desert.
Yes.
But now you're upset...
because of what you said.
How about you tell the friend...
how upset you feel?
I won't ever apologize.
It hurts my ego.
Apologizing shows you have courage. It doesn't mean you lose.
This is crazy, Yi Chang.
Why...
am I thinking of you now?
I miss you.
I hate you.
I hate you so much.
There's something the groom had always wanted to do for his bride.
Will you step forward?
To raise ten children,
you must have sacrificed so much.
But right now, you two have the stage.
We met when we were just children and you stayed with me.
You didn't die and leave me alone.
Thank you.
Thank you for always making me smile and laugh, honey.
Will you spend the rest of your life with me?
Yes. I can't live without you.
Honey.
I hope we can die on the same day,
at the same time.
Honey. I'm home.
Honey.
I must confess something to you.
What do you mean "confess?"
There's something I kept from you.
I must tell you everything today. I want to.
Don't you regret never getting to wear a wedding dress?
Don't you want to?
Should we get married before we're older?
We have a makeup expert.
We just have to take the plunge.
Even at her age,
the thought of wearing a gown kept her up.
I realized I'd been so clueless.
However many times you said it was okay, it wasn't okay,
but I took your word for it.
Let's do it, before it's too late.
Let's do it on our 20th anniversary, then.
On exactly our 20th anniversary.
We've been together for 15 years. That's just five years off.
Until then, be sure to keep your belly under control.
Stay fit.
That's a daunting task.
You look just as great as you used to,
but if I let my guard down just a bit...
Let's go on a honeymoon trip then too.
Sounds good. I must keep exercising.
Where shall we go?
To Switzerland.
- Switzerland? - Yes.
I'd always wanted to visit. It's on my bucket list.
Is it? Okay, then.
Let's have a wedding ceremony in five years and visit Switzerland!
I'm so excited!
It's so strange...
how people become a couple.
It is.
Let's be like the couple today...
and cherish each other until we're much older.
Okay?
The frogs are screaming.
Come on, Sung Joo. You should introduce me to him.
I said I'd let you see him.
I never said I'd arrange a meeting.
I don't know him personally.
I only heard he'd be here after agreeing to do the shoot.
What happens next hangs on your passion and abilities.
Okay?
Sung Joo.
Ask his daughter to arrange a meeting for you.
Good luck, Jin Woo.
Thanks for your help.
I'll buy you a drink next time.
Bye.
You can't just leave me here!
Goodness.
Why are you still here?
The producer called to say he left.
We have something to settle.
We do?
What is it?
This is the part-time job I was asked to do.
My producer friend asked me to come here.
This was the place.
Oh, dear. Is that so?
You didn't know who I was,
and you waved at me to stop.
That was because I was waiting for...
the delivery guy the temp agency had sent.
I thought that was you.
I clearly said "wait" and "excuse me."
But you just went ahead about a pharmacy and whatnot.
That's how the tragedy of the chicken delivery began.
Who started it? It was clearly you.
If it were a car crash, you'd be 100-percent liable.
You have a point.
I got everything wrong. I apologize.
To show that I mean it, I'll pay you a day's wages.
This is unbelievable.
Do you think I'm whinging to make you pay up?
Then what? I apologized and...
My motorcycle's out of gas because I delivered for you for hours.
There's no way I'm going home like this.
So today,
you must...
let me...
sleep over.
What?
At my place?
What on earth are you saying?
(Meant to be)
Why are you upsetting me so much?
I'll ask Jin Woo to be my boyfriend.
All you think about is Jin Woo.
Your first love was a failure,
but mine will not be.
I married you for your money.
It was planned and deliberate.
How dare he touch my daughter?
Mom!
I'll snap your legs!
It's not that!
