What can I do to get back at her?
Did she also come to the interview?
Yes. But she had the least impressive resume.
Do you know her?
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
His phone is even turned off.
Why isn't he home yet?
I'm sure he'll come.
It's past 1 a.m.
If you're the chairwoman of the foundation,
can you also take part in hiring teachers?
Sometimes, if it's necessary.
Then can I take part in it since I'm acting as your proxy?
Do you wish to hire someone?
No, I just thought of a way to save our budget.
Do whatever you want.
Okay.
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
- My goodness. - Mom.
- Why did you drink so much? - Mom.
Mom.
Mom, I'm so sad.
Go to your room first.
- Take Suk Hwan to his room. - Okay.
My goodness.
Let me go.
My gosh.
I always drink
You're all I've been waiting for
My gosh. Take it off.
What? Let me go.
Get out of here. Go.
Just let him sleep.
Get to your senses, Suk Hwan.
Suk Hwan, did something happen?
Mom.
Eun Ju's seeing someone.
She's already in love with someone else.
But...
why does my heart ache so much?
- Get over her. - I shouldn't have hired her.
If I knew this was going to happen, I shouldn't have hired her.
My gosh, how am I going to talk to her at work?
You hired her because you had feelings for her?
My goodness, you punk.
Did Suk Hwan have a bad day?
Are you even worried?
Of course. He's my son.
Suk Hwan and Suk Joon are both precious to me.
We should get him a wife so that he'll settle down.
He needs to get married in order to focus on work.
Why isn't there any progress with Suk Joon?
I don't think Suk Joon wants to marry Hye Jin.
Did he say that?
Yes.
Who plays golf so early at dawn?
I can't play in the afternoon because it's too hot now.
What about breakfast?
I'm going to go to Namdo Restaurant on my way there...
and have fish soup.
They make good food there.
Once Suk Hwan wakes up,
cook him some dried pollack soup.
Okay.
Where are you going so early in the morning?
Blue crabs are in season these days.
I'm going to buy some fresh crabs and marinate them.
- I'll go with you. - No, it's okay.
I can take the bus.
Just cook breakfast for the kids.
- See you. - Okay.
Come here, Jumbak.
Come on.
Did you sleep well?
Is this where the restaurant is?
Yes.
You'll also love it once you have a taste.
- I'm already getting hungry. - Really?
I'm sure that was Bok Soon.
She's still alive.
What's the matter, sir?
It's nothing.
Let's go.
You want us to hire Oh Pil Jeong as our PE teacher?
Yes, if you haven't decided yet.
The chairwoman also agrees with me.
She's old,
and she had the least impressive resume.
That's why she's just the right person for the job.
I don't understand.
You told me you want an ice hockey team.
Well, yes. But we already have the track and field team.
The new PE teacher can be in charge of the track and field team.
Do you think the new teacher will be okay with that?
Obviously not.
Work and life balance is very important these days.
So who would want to coach...
the track and field team after school...
when they have a nice resume?
So you think we should hire Oh Pil Jeong...
since her resume isn't that great?
Exactly.
You can announce that the track and field team...
will be dismissed if they fail to win a prize again.
And you can hold the PE teacher responsible.
Then I'll be able to dismiss the team and fire the PE teachers.
And we'll finally get to have an ice hockey team.
That's correct.
You really are smart.
So you must hire Oh Pil Jeong, okay?
Okay.
Did you ask for me, sir?
You were a detective when you were young, right?
Yes, but only for a little while.
I need to find someone.
Can you look into it for me?
Yes, sir.
(Kim Bok Soon, 61 years old, 102, Garibong-dong, Guro-gu)
"Kim Bok Soon"?
Who is she?
It's someone I know.
And that address is where she used to live 35 years ago.
I don't want my wife or children to find out about this.
Okay, sir.
Ma'am.
(Kim Bok Soon)
He asked you to find her?
Yes.
"Kim Bok Soon."
This name sounds so familiar.
(Kim Bok Soon)
Do you still...
keep in contact with Kim Bok Soon?
No, she's dead.
If she's dead, how could she send you a letter?
She just asked me to take good care of Suk Joon.
It was like a will.
Where's the letter?
I don't know.
You expect me to believe that?
I will never allow you to meet Suk Joon's mother...
behind my back!
I never met her!
I told you that she died due to a heart disease!
Was that all a lie?
The chairman must have aged...
seeing that he wishes to find a friend from his hometown.
You may leave now.
Okay.
Suk Joon's birth mother is alive?
You didn't teach for quite a long time.
Yes, things turned out that way.
The school environment has changed a lot.
Do you think you'll be able to adjust?
Pil Jeong.
Okay.
(Kim Bok Soon, 61 years old, 102, Garibong-dong, Guro-gu)
Did you ask for me, ma'am?
The chairman asked Mr. Kim to find this person.
"Kim Bok Soon"?
It sounds like a woman's name.
She's probably someone who tried to seduce the chairman.
The chairman still has women trying to seduce him?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'll look for her.
I heard Mr. Kim used to work as a detective in the past.
I want you to keep an eye on him around the clock.
I need to find her faster than the chairman.
Okay, ma'am.
- Where is Suk Hwan? - He hasn't come to work yet.
(Kim Bok Soon, 61 years old, 102, Garibong-dong, Guro-gu)
I'm seeing someone.
- You're seeing someone? - Yes.
So please be careful from now on.
I only came here to tell you this.
Bye then.
There are people you can't have
Regardless of how much you love them
Hello?
- Are you up? - Yes.
Aren't you going to come to work?
Must I go to work today?
How could you say that when you're a director?
If you're going to skip work just because of a woman,
just forget about becoming the successor!
Mom... Hello?
Mom.
My gosh.
My mom won't even let me heal my broken heart.
Aren't you going to get in?
- About what I said yesterday... - I know.
I get it.
I'm not pathetic enough to hit on a woman...
who's already seeing someone.
Okay.
From now on,
I'm going to treat you like a normal employee.
Thank you for understanding.
Let me ask you something as a fellow colleague.
Have you been dating him for a long time?
- What? - How old is he?
What does he do for a living?
I'm going to be the successor of LX Group.
Is he more successful than me?
Is he better looking than me?
Is he taller?
Or does he have more hair?
Why aren't you answering any of my questions?
The answer to all your questions is "yes".
Wait.
What? He's better than me in all areas?
Who is this jerk?
Mom.
People might get the wrong idea...
and think you had your heart broken after a long-lasting relationship.
It really does hurt that much.
Get to your senses!
Okay, I will.
But why are you so angry today? You were also angry over the phone.
Did something happen?
What is it?
I think Suk Joon's birth mother is alive.
What?
I thought she was dead.
That's what I thought.
But your dad asked Mr. Kim...
to look for Suk Joon's birth mother.
Unbelievable.
It's actually for the better.
If Suk Joon ever hears about his birth mother,
he'll find out the truth about his birth.
And when that happens, he won't be able to stay with us.
Then let's find her before dad does.
That's not the only problem.
What else is there?
I'm worried about how your dad might react...
once he finds out she's still alive.
What if he kicks you out so he can live with her?
What?
I mean, that should never happen.
Even if Suk Joon's birth mother turns out to be alive,
your dad should never find out about it.
I guess that's the only way he won't do anything.
Then it'll be our turn...
to make a move.
Should I give orders to Mr. Ha?
I already told him to keep an eye on Mr. Kim.
I should be getting a call today.
Did I not get the job?
Hello?
Yes, this is Oh Pil Jeong.
What? I got the job?
Really?
Thank you! Thank you!
Seriously.
I got the job.
Min Ji!
Mom.
I'll be teaching at school.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Mom, I'm a PE teacher again.
Really? I'm so happy for you. Congratulations.
Are you a teacher now, Mom?
Yes, I'm a teacher at Daehan Middle School.
I want to go to your school.
You can come over next time.
Did the school ask you to come?
Yes, I'm going to get ready and go.
My goodness.
It's nice to see your mom so happy.
- I'm happy, too. - Right?
Thank you, Ms. Choi.
I promise I'll do my best.
But there's one condition.
There's a condition?
We have a track and field team, but we haven't found a coach yet.
And we're too low on budget to hire a separate coach.
So the new PE teacher...
will also have to coach the track and field team.
I've never coached a track and field team before.
It's just a sport.
But...
You told me you can run 100m in just 15 seconds.
That means you run well.
I can't coach the track and field team...
just because I'm a good runner.
The track and field team covers the 100m race, relay,
the high jump, and the long jump. There are so many.
Yes, I know that.
Either you can accept the job...
and coach the field and track team...
after you're done with your regular classes,
or you can just forget about it.
What? She also wants you to coach the track and field team?
Yes.
Gosh, that's too much.
She wants you to be a coach without even paying you more.
The principal told me that the track and field team...
is a pain in the neck.
- "A pain in the neck"? - Yes.
She wants to get rid of the team since they never win any prizes...
and replace them with an ice hockey team.
Then why doesn't she do that?
The track and field team has a long tradition.
The team was formed along with the establishment of our school.
A few teachers and graduates are against the abolishment.
Then how am I supposed to coach the track and field team?
Exactly.
So what did you say?
I told her I'll do it.
You agreed to coach the track and field team?
Yes.
This felt like my last chance.
So I just told her that I'll do it.
Good.
You can't give up the job just because of the team.
- Right? - Of course.
The fact that they never won a prize...
might actually be a good thing to you.
It won't be a big deal even if they don't do well.
I'm sure she won't ask you to take responsibility.
Did Ms. Oh take the offer?
Yes, she agreed to coach the track and field team.
Was she okay with it?
She had no other choice.
If she didn't take the offer, she wouldn't have gotten the job.
You're right.
Thank you for helping me take care of this.
You did great, ma'am.
I bet she's on cloud nine right now.
But her life will turn miserable soon.
The press wishes to interview Mr. Kang Suk Joon...
at the opening ceremony of the daycare center...
since it was his idea to expand the place.
He also agreed to it.
Ms. Lee.
What's the matter with you?
You can't just agree to do an interview...
just because the press made an offer.
- Pardon? - You must follow the procedure...
and respect the chain of command.
I know it was his idea, but you can't always make an employee...
do a briefing about it every time it becomes an issue.
It's normally the supervisors who announce it to the press.
Don't you know that?
Suk Joon may be the chairman's son.
But he's just an employee at the CS center.
If you let him do the interview,
then what about the director and chairman?
I'm sorry. It was thoughtless of me.
Ms. Lee has a point.
What?
Giving attention to the person who came up with the idea...
will be able to motivate the other employees.
But like she said,
you need to respect the procedure and chain of command.
So why don't we let...
the general director do the interview instead?
Okay, sir.
Why do you keep trying to help Suk Joon?
Pardon?
Shouldn't you be focused on promoting the image...
of the general director instead of a low-level employee?
Are you doing this because you're offended...
that he showed interest in you?
No, that's a misunderstanding.
You're very quick-witted and clever enough to know...
that you need to be smart when you choose a side.
Are you on Suk Joon's side?
No, ma'am.
I'm sorry for not thinking things through.
Keep this in mind.
Suk Joon may be the chairman's son.
But Suk Hwan is on a totally different level.
They're on a different level? What does that mean?
Today must be a good day. You're buying a lot of meat.
I'm going to have pork belly with my family.
Pork belly sounds nice.
I gave you some pork rinds. It's on the house.
Thank you. You're always so kind. Have a good one.
Enjoy the meat. See you again.
Everyone, raise your glasses.
Let's congratulate Pil Jeong for becoming a teacher again.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Thank you, everyone.
Soon Jeong is working as an intern.
And Pil Jeong got a job as a teacher.
I guess things are finally going to get better for us.
I'm not a full-time employee, and she's not a full-time teacher.
It's still a start. That's what's important.
Of course. I may be a short-term teacher,
but I feel happiest when I teach kids at school.
But what's with the pork rinds?
The butcher gave them to me saying they're on the house.
He always gives me a lot of meat because I'm a regular.
He doesn't do that to me.
Really?
Don't accept it.
What?
Don't just accept what people give to you for free.
Why not? It's because I'm a regular.
But he doesn't give extra meat to Grandma.
He's probably just giving it to me because he knows we're a family.
Why does that have to be you?
Next time, I'll have him give it to me instead.
And why haven't you fixed the lock for the front gate?
He's right. We totally forgot.
What if a thief breaks in?
A thief won't come here. The house is too old.
And if someone does break in, we'll catch him.
You're all women.
If it's a strong man, you won't be able to catch him.
I'm the only man here, but I can't catch him alone.
You call yourself a man?
Aunt!
Min Ho's a man, not a woman.
You just wait.
He'll soon grow taller and stronger than us.
Okay, sure.
Min Ho is already strong.
It hurt a lot when he hit me.
You're strong enough to catch a thief, right?
You have no idea how reassured I am because of Min Ho. Don't you agree?
Of course.
Don't accept pork rinds from now on.
Okay.
Eat up.
You hired Oh Pil Jeong?
Don't look at me that way.
You always went on about how smart Kang Suk Joon is,
and he was the one who told me to hire her.
How does he know her?
He doesn't know her.
He just happened to see her resume when he came to school that day.
Why did it have to be Oh Pil Jeong?
Because she has the least impressive resume.
What do you mean?
You don't need to know.
We're taking 1 step back to move 2 steps forward.
Just think of it as a project...
to make our school into a prestigious middle school.
Whatever the case, Pil Jeong got hired as a teacher.
It'll only last a semester.
If we get rid of the track and field team before that,
I'll instantly have her fired, so stop whining.
Aren't you going to tell me?
Tell you what?
Where did you go after you skipped class?
Your teacher called me today.
It was suffocating, so I just went outside and walked around.
Who skips class to take a walk? That's absurd.
Why is that absurd?
You could've done that after school.
Since when did you care about me so much?
I won't interfere with your life,
so stop interfering with mine.
What's going on?
What am I going to do with Yu Kyung?
Yu Kyung.
Keep this in mind.
Suk Joon may be the chairman's son.
But Suk Hwan is on a totally different level.
(Mom Has an Affair)
You're doing the interview?
You must feel upset that you didn't get to do the interview.
Some people think she hired you...
so she could get rid of the track and field team.
No one cares about the track and field team.
I'll put up a notice to recruit new athletes.
Let me go!
- I heard you're the chairman's son. - Yes.
The company magazine interviewed your younger brother,
and everyone's talking about it.
- It was Ms. Lee's idea. - Ms. Lee did this?
How dare she stabs me in the back?
You can go ahead...
and keep climbing up the ladder.
Meanwhile, I'll become the chairman.
