(Episode 17)
I feel sorry for her husband.
She pours alcohol for men if they agree to pay her for it.
She buys a used bag and tries to get it exchanged with a new one.
And now, she even tries to commit insurance fraud?
I hope I never meet her again.
(Nuthead)
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
You will be charged after the...
He's going to ignore my calls now?
How much will I have to pay for the hospital bills?
You even sleep outside now?
Were you with a woman?
No.
Don't you keep in touch with Hye Jin these days?
Are you curious?
It's been over seven years since you agreed to get married,
but there's been no progress, and it's starting to worry me.
If you're so worried, why didn't you ever...
tell me to get married for the past seven years?
Don't tell me you've been waiting for me to bring it up first.
No, I know you're not interested in my marriage.
There's no way you'd be indifferent about Suk Hwan's marriage.
I bet you introduced him to a lot of women from great backgrounds.
So you must be upset that he's still single.
All the women I introduced him to liked him very much,
but he didn't like any of them.
As you know, he has very high standards.
I hope he finds someone that meets his high standards.
Of course. He'll meet someone far better than Hye Jin.
Director Kang Suk Hwan?
Yes.
He hired Tae Woo for the internship...
even though you never asked?
Why?
Why do you think? He's trying to impress me.
Are you saying he likes you?
I think he liked me from the start.
What did I tell you? I told you you're meant to be.
Mom, he's not the right one.
It's better to go for the eldest son than the second son.
Have you ever seen conglomerates neglect their eldest sons?
But I heard the second son is going to be the successor.
What does he do?
He works at the CS center.
Gosh, he's just a normal employee?
It's just for now.
Listen to me carefully.
When both parents support the same child,
that child is bound to be the successor.
But if that's not the case, it's a 50-50 chance.
Who do you think the chairwoman supports?
I'm not sure.
But she's always with the eldest son.
Then Kang Suk Hwan will be the successor.
How do you know?
When I met her last time,
I could tell she has a strong personality.
If she supports her eldest son,
then he'll definitely become the successor.
But Suk Joon is more intelligent and clever than his older brother.
If I were the chairman, I would want him to be the successor.
Is he that clever?
Yes.
And he's good-looking.
Did Eun Ju look into it?
The director gave you the job.
- Why? - He likes her.
- What? - I think he likes your sister.
So he did it to win her favor.
What a crazy jerk.
What?
He used his authority as a director...
just so he could woo a woman?
Don't say that.
He might become your brother-in-law.
I don't like him.
He might become the successor of LX Group.
Eun Ju must be thrilled. Her goal is to marry a rich man.
But why won't she date him?
How will we ever understand what goes through her head?
Let's leave her to handle it on her own.
What about you?
Are you going to keep working at the distribution center?
I'm still thinking about it.
My goodness.
What a waste of money.
He hit me with his car, so he should pay for my hospital bills.
The receiver cannot be reached. Please leave a message...
Seriously?
The receiver cannot be reached. Please leave a message...
You're not going to answer my calls?
She's so tenacious.
I won't ever answer your calls.
Hello, sir. How can I help you?
Can I get this mended?
You wore this for a long time.
It's the first gift I ever got from my wife.
I always wore it because it was comfortable and nice,
and that's why it turned out like that.
Do you think I can get it mended?
This is beyond repair, sir.
You should ask her to buy you a new jacket.
She died a year ago.
- Oh, dear. - I can buy myself a new jacket.
But whenever I wear that, it reminds me of my wife.
But people tell me to throw it away every time I ask to get it mended.
It's very upsetting.
Then why don't you wear it as a vest...
since the weather is slowly getting warmer?
- "As a vest"? - Yes.
Can you do that for me?
I'll look into it.
Okay, thank you.
I'll be off now.
(LX Customer Service Center)
- Goodbye, sir. - Bye.
Goodbye.
My goodness.
(LX Customer Service Center)
You know why I'm here, right?
No.
(Medical Report)
You heard the doctor say that my pain could recur...
even with the slightest bit of shock.
You were hurt a long time ago.
Whatever the case, it started to hurt again...
because you hit me with your car.
That means you should pay for the hospital bills.
Should I take this to the police station?
How much did it cost?
516 dollars.
(Receipt: 516 dollars)
Give me your bank account number.
And delete my phone number.
I don't want to keep your number either.
Then delete it and show me.
My gosh.
(Nuthead)
What? "Nuthead"?
It's up to me to decide how to save your number.
I'll delete it now. Here.
I want you to delete my number as well.
I deleted your number, so hurry up and delete mine.
(Nuthead)
"Nuthead"? Are you serious?
It's up to me to decide how to save your number.
I hope we never meet again.
Of course!
Give me your bank account number.
This jacket was designed by a designer.
If we get rid of the sleeves, it will become totally different.
And we're not an alteration shop.
We don't do this kind of stuff.
But he really wishes to wear this.
I'm sure we can be flexible about it.
The design team will get furious if they find out.
There's no need to tell them.
And if they find out, I'll take full responsibility.
Do you promise?
Yes.
Will it be possible?
I'll have to give it a try.
- Thank you. - Bye.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
What are you doing?
I should help her clean.
Why would you help her? You stay here.
It's okay. I can do it alone.
If I help, it'll end quicker.
My husband told me to thank you...
for letting me work here for a long time.
You have a husband?
Yes.
But you told me you didn't have one.
He was abroad.
Ms. Oh is apparently married.
Oh, really?
Why didn't you tell us earlier?
You should invite him to our restaurant...
so we could treat him to a meal.
Thank you.
But he's busy, so I'm not sure if he'll be able to make it.
- I'll wipe the table. - No, it's okay.
We'll be holding an opening ceremony...
after we finish the expansion of the daycare center.
We're also going to prepare a press interview...
and create a friendly company image saying we truly care...
about difficulties that working mothers face.
That sounds great.
Is the PR team also going to attend...
the scholarship awards ceremony this Friday?
I'll be going with you, ma'am.
I see.
I'll be attending the Innovative Entrepreneurs Forum that day.
Aren't you going to come to that?
Another employee will be going there.
About the Innovative Entrepreneurs Forum.
This time, Suk Joon will go as the representative of the company.
What?
I've always been attending that forum.
So this time, let Suk Joon go instead.
I promised to make an opening speech.
Suk Joon can do it.
I've been going there every year. If I suddenly don't show up,
people will start talking.
- What? - They'll think...
I lost the competition against my brother.
Don't get swayed by absurd rumors.
The Innovative Entrepreneurs Forum...
is where the sons and daughters of conglomerates gather together.
Our status depends on whom attends the forum.
You can't just humiliate Suk Hwan like that.
No one will think of him that way if he earns their respect.
This is Suk Joon's first time attending the forum.
Can't you let your brother go there just this once?
People who are attending the forum...
think I'm going to be the successor.
I should be the one to go.
What can we do? Your father has already made up his mind.
You might get a chance if Suk Joon gets injured and can't walk.
Mr. Ha, go and break Suk Joon's leg.
Pardon?
Is that really the best idea you can think of?
Then what else can we do?
Mr. Ha.
What time is the scholarship awards ceremony?
- It's 3pm, ma'am. - And what about the forum?
That's also at 3pm.
Then let's send Suk Joon to the scholarship awards ceremony.
What?
You should go since you're the chairwoman of the foundation.
Suk Joon has no right to go there.
Then I'll appoint him as the vice-chairperson.
What's so hard about that?
That's a good idea.
But do you think Suk Joon will agree to go there?
We'll have to make him go no matter what.
Just get ready to attend the forum.
Okay.
Mr. Wang, I want you to attend the scholarship awards ceremony.
I'm supposed to attend the Innovative Entrepreneurs Forum.
I'll be the one going there. It's the chairman's orders.
Okay.
Su Gyeong, please get ready for the opening ceremony...
of the daycare center.
Okay. This project doesn't feel like work.
I'm pretty much doing it for myself, and it's really fun.
I guess we'll get to see your daughter at the company soon.
Yes.
- Mr. Lee. - Yes?
Can you check the receiving and shipping?
Okay.
You must get special treatment since you have connections.
We both work at the distribution center,
but our jobs are so different.
I'm having a hard time carrying all these heavy boxes.
But you're just standing there counting them.
I'm just doing what I was told to do.
Why did he ask you of all people?
How am I supposed to know?
We can go ahead and switch.
I don't want to get on anyone's bad side.
Then what do you want?
Do you even eat the cafeteria food for free?
What?
Why would I do that? It doesn't even cost that much.
"It doesn't even cost that much"?
If it doesn't cost that much, why don't you buy me lunch?
Why would I buy you lunch?
So you don't want to?
Then...
I'll just tell everyone that you got the job...
without even coming to the interview.
Are you blackmailing me?
I'm just stating the facts.
I have a question.
I don't know.
I didn't even ask you anything yet.
You're probably going to ask me how I got the job.
I guess you feel guilty.
I feel very uncomfortable myself.
I'm thinking about quitting.
Do you not want the job anymore...
because you thought you were going to work at an office?
No, that's not it.
You're going to quit after taking someone else's opportunity?
You're unbelievable.
Let me tell you one more time.
I didn't ask anyone to get me this job.
Does that answer your question?
That wasn't what I wanted to know.
Oh, you have another question?
Why did you get deported?
- Do you really want to know? - I mean,
I've only heard of people getting deported abroad.
But it turns out the guy sitting in front of me also got deported.
So it's natural to be curious.
Do you really want to know?
Come here.
Then...
go ahead and keep being curious.
(Nuthead)
"Nuthead"?
It's up to me to decide how to save your number.
"Nuthead"?
I can't believe I was humiliated by a woman like her.
My gosh, this is hurting my pride.
I bet it hurts your pride to work at the CS center.
That's not what it's about. Why are you here?
What?
You told me you met Eun Ju when you were in England, right?
Yes.
By any chance, do you know anything about her?
Like what?
Do you know her hobby, favorite music, favorite food,
favorite clothing brand, or favorite bag?
If I actually tell you that, you'll get really annoyed.
Wouldn't you hate me for knowing more about her?
So do you know anything or not?
I'd love to see you so irritated.
But unfortunately, I know nothing about her.
Really?
If I were you, I'd ask Ms. Lee's close friend or family.
Right?
I also thought of that.
I want to eat sushi again.
It was delicious, wasn't it?
- Yes. - Min Ji.
Stop mentioning sushi.
I'll buy you sushi next time.
- Really? - Yes.
- Let's eat. - Mom.
Your blood type is A, right?
Yes.
- Min Ji is also A, right? - Yes.
- And Dad's is O, right? - I think so.
Your blood type is A, and dad's blood type is O,
but my blood type is B.
Is that weird?
I learned about blood types.
And it turns out it's impossible...
for you and Dad to have a kid with my blood type.
What?
You didn't give birth to him, did you?
What?
Of course she gave birth to him.
Then why do I have a different blood type?
Maybe your mom or dad actually has a different blood type.
Yes. Come to think of it, your dad's blood type was B.
Really?
Yes. His blood type was B.
That's disappointing.
What?
I thought I actually had a different parent.
Is that what you wanted?
Yes, for a short moment.
Min Ho, aren't you happy with the fact that I'm your mom?
No, that's not what I meant.
I'm fine with having you as my mom.
But I hoped that my real dad would be someone else.
I thought it'd be nice to have a dad...
who's rich.
Stop the nonsense and just eat.
Okay.
I wish our imaginations would come true.
What is the matter with you guys?
I almost had a heart attack when Min Ho mentioned his blood type.
Me too.
Do you think he believed me?
Yes.
Min Ho is a very clever guy.
If his dad were still alive,
he would've asked him to take a blood test.
I'm already scared just by thinking about it.
But aren't you...
ever going to tell Min Ho?
No. Min Ho is my son.
You're right.
I don't know who his parents are.
But I guess there's no point in telling him...
since they're not even looking for him.
Exactly.
But to be honest,
I sometimes wonder who his real parents are.
Don't even think about it.
If you keep thinking about it, you might say something by accident.
That should never happen. I won't think about it anymore.
What?
The design team is furious?
They totally messed up the jacket.
The design team put in so much effort to design the jacket,
but it became a mess overnight.
So I totally get why they're angry.
And Suk Joon was the one who asked for that?
Yes.
Mr. Ha found out and told the design team right away.
- Great work, Mr. Ha. - Thank you, sir.
Does the chairman also know about this?
The team manager of the design team made a strong complaint.
I should go check his face.
Me too.
Keep a straight face.
Okay.
That sounds great.
I'm glad you're here.
What's going on?
That's...
Is he the owner of that jacket?
Yes, that's right. He's my father.
I'm sorry if my brother offended you.
His father loves his new vest.
What?
He likes that vest?
My father is really happy that he can still wear it.
Everyone told me to throw it away,
but he allowed me to keep wearing it.
And I'm very grateful.
Thank you so much.
Don't mention it. I'm glad you like it.
Thank you for understanding my father.
His son even asked us...
to make their employee jackets.
How many did you order?
We also have a factory in Vietnam, so about 700 in total.
700 jackets?
This one is only for the summer.
I plan to make another order in winter for winter jackets.
- Okay. - Thank you.
That's great.
What an absurd situation.
I know.
Do you think Suk Joon helped him because he knew...
that the old man had a son who owned a company?
Who knows?
Suk Joon is so sly.
Please make sure Suk Joon never makes it to the forum.
Okay.
- Promise me, okay? - I said okay.
- You did great. - Thank you.
You'll be able to learn a lot...
as you continuously interact with our consumers.
Yes, I agree.
A good product is a product that touches people's hearts.
I'll keep that in mind.
You'll be attending the Innovative Entrepreneurs Forum tomorrow, right?
Yes.
It's my first time, so I can't wait.
It'll be a great experience.
Have a good day, Min Ho.
Okay.
Good luck with your interview today.
You remembered?
Yes.
I guess you also want me to be a teacher.
Of course.
It's better to teach than to work at a restaurant.
Plus, it's also what you want.
If you give me a kiss, I think I'll ace the interview.
Is that really necessary?
You gave me a lot of kisses when you were young.
But are you refusing now that you're bigger?
Okay, fine.
Have a good day, my son.
Suk Joon.
Suk Joon, Mom is sick.
What's wrong with her?
I don't know. She wants you to come.
My gosh.
You were fine yesterday.
Why are you sick all of a sudden?
How would I know?
My entire body aches as if I was beaten up.
I can't move an inch.
You should go to the hospital or call Dr. Choi.
- Have a good day at work. - You too. Good luck with the forum.
Okay.
Is it bad?
I think I'm down with the flu.
I have to go to the scholarship awards ceremony today.
What should I do?
Tell Suk Hwan to go.
He has no right to go there.
You're the vice-chairperson of the foundation.
So I want you to go instead.
I'm the vice-chairperson?
I appointed you when you weren't here.
You need to take over the company later on.
I need to go to the forum.
You can go to that next time.
Lots of students are looking forward to this ceremony.
If no one shows up from the foundation, they'll be disappointed.
A single word of encouragement...
is enough to give them a lot of support.
Your father cares a lot about that foundation.
But if I don't go because of the cold,
he'll get upset with me.
Okay, fine. I'll go.
Really?
Thank you.
Did you have surgery all night?
Yes. Where is Yu Kyung?
She went to school. You should get some rest.
Okay.
You look beautiful today.
Thanks.
See you. I'm going to get some rest.
Okay.
I thought you were headed to work, but are you going somewhere nice?
Yes, I might be late tonight. I'll see you later.
Is she on her way to meet Kang Suk Joon?
I've been to tons of interviews,
but I still always get nervous.
Just be yourself, and stick to your principles.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
- That will be all. - Thank you.
Goodbye.
These applicants have impressive resumes...
even though they've applied to be short-term teachers.
I agree.
Welcome. Have a seat.
Hello, my name is Oh Pil Jeong.
"Oh Pil Jeong"?
If you see an applicant named Oh Pil Jeong,
make sure you don't hire her.
(Mom Has an Affair)
- Nuthead. - Nuthead.
What are you doing here?
- Are you a parent? - Do I look like I have a kid?
That jerk.
Suk Hwan went where?
Ms. Lee! Why don't we have dinner together?
- Do you like me? - What?
- I'm already seeing someone. - She's seeing someone?
Who in the world did this?
Do you have proof that it was me?
Do you really have a husband?
- Honey. - "Honey"?
