I want you to convince the residents in Seogye-dong...
to settle with the compensation.
What?
Then I'll agree with your promotion.
If you manage to deal with the settlement,
those who were against your promotion...
will no longer have anything to say.
It's a great chance to have people acknowledge how competent you are.
So why don't you give it a try?
Okay, I'll give it a try.
The owner is Oh Pil Jeong.
And she lives with a lady named Kim Bok Soon.
"Oh Pil Jeong"?
That's the name of that lady.
The house is registered under Oh Pil Jeong's name.
But before, it belonged to Kim Bok Soon.
So the previous and current owners are living together?
- That's right. - But what about that?
They told Mr. Ha that they're mother and daughter.
But as it turns out, they're not a family.
If you find out the truth about their relationship,
you might find a way to get them to settle.
You seem to know enough. Suk Hwan could've done it himself.
Keep listening.
You need to move in with them...
to find out what their actual relationship is.
What do you mean?
Are you telling me to live there?
- Bingo. - That's absurd.
There's a limit to how much we can find out on paper.
If we ask their acquaintances,
they'll quickly find out that someone's asking about them.
And if they find out that it's us, they'll resist to settle even more.
But still, I can't move in there.
Consider yourself lucky.
They're actually looking for a lodger.
You want me to move in there as a lodger?
- Bingo. - Are you nuts?
Do you think it's easy to convince people...
to move out of their homes and sign a settlement?
Do you want to be a director so you can avoid...
all the hassles and do things that are easy to handle?
We keep spending money on the project,
but we're not able to proceed with it.
You saw how distressed Dad was.
If you're so worried, why don't you move in yourself?
Hey, I'm the general director.
I already have a lot on my plate.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Bye.
See? People keep calling me for things.
Things won't function without me.
I'm showing you the way because I care about you.
It's weird to hear you say that.
You always let Suk Hwan do all the good things.
I decided to have a wider viewpoint...
for the sake of your father and the company.
I don't care what it is.
I don't care...
if you truly care about me or not.
I can get them to settle without moving in there.
You just wait and see.
Ms. Lee.
Mr. Kang Suk Joon didn't seem so happy.
Did something happen?
He was asked to get the people living in Seogye-dong...
to settle with the compensation.
But aren't you in charge of that project?
I asked Suk Joon to do it for me because I'm too busy.
What if he manages to...
Suk Joon won't be able to succeed.
- What? - You don't need to know.
Do you want to eat lunch together?
I'm having lunch with someone else.
I can't believe Min Ho still went to school to take a test...
even after he got beaten up.
Not only did I feel bad about scolding him,
but I didn't even know what to say.
Did you call his teacher?
I called her this morning.
She told me she'll look into it and call me back.
You must be upset.
I'm not exactly upset. I just feel very lethargic...
because there's nothing I can do for him.
This might get him to finally accept the fact...
that he doesn't have a dad.
This is just him growing up.
Have you made up your mind?
Are you not going to join?
I just need to do it for one month, right?
Yes.
I'll just think I'm getting punished for a month.
Although, it is a bit harsh.
I don't care what you think.
Instead, you'd better do your best.
If you slack off and don't participate properly,
you'll have to do it for two months.
That's so unfair.
So just do it properly.
You guys, come here.
She's our new member.
Her name is Choi Yu Kyung. Say hello to each other.
Hi, I'm Han Ga Ram.
I'm Lee Dae Geon.
I'm Ji Eun. It's nice to meet you.
I'll leave you guys to talk.
Have you ever been in the track and field team?
No, I'm not even interested.
Then why did you join the team?
I'm going to quit after a month.
I was actually wondering if I should visit the school.
Min Ho said that?
Okay, I understand.
Thank you.
(Owner: Oh Pil Jeong)
Should I meet her and talk to her first?
I heard she has a horrible personality.
I can't believe I have to deal with a person like that woman again.
Welcome. Hello.
You both failed to find the missing box,
so I'm going to deduct a point each from your internship evaluation.
Can't we just pay for the missing box?
The head office told me to reflect it...
in your evaluation instead of making you pay.
He was the one in charge of counting the boxes.
Why do I need to get punished for his mistake?
I told you that teamwork is very important.
If we have to receive the same evaluation,
does that mean we'll both become a full-time employee?
I told you that we're only hiring one full-time employee.
Exactly.
Then we should be evaluated differently.
You can talk to the head office about that.
Why didn't you say anything?
You seemed to be doing a pretty good job.
You don't care, do you?
I might as well just...
Hey, let me go.
You asked me...
why I got deported from Canada, right?
Yes. So?
Do you want me to show you...
why I got deported?
- Do you want to see? - No.
Do you have anything more to say regarding the missing box?
- I'll still treat you to a meal. - No, I'm not hungry.
Really? Then I'll go eat alone.
What's his deal?
Gosh, it hurts. Was he in a terrorist group or something?
No one's coming to see the house.
I'd love to find you a lodger as soon as possible,
but no one is willing to live there.
Does it really have to be a woman?
Just find me anyone as fast as possible.
Then I'll ask the other realtors for help.
You just wait.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Hye Rim! - Dad!
Hello?
Do you know him?
He's my dad.
I didn't know you had a dad like him.
Gosh, you're lying, aren't you?
He's really my dad.
Is he your stepdad?
He's my real dad!
What's the matter?
Min Ji keeps saying you're not my dad.
I am her dad.
- Should we go home now? - Yes.
Come on.
1, 2, 3.
There we go.
Dad, slow down.
Min Ji.
Let's go home.
What's the matter? What is it?
Did you have a bad day?
Let's go home. I'll cook you something delicious.
I think this is their house.
Ms. Oh!
Ms. Oh, it's you.
- Hello. - Hi.
She's the owner of the house?
Did Ms. Kim tell you the news?
What news?
I suggested that we should...
set you up on a date with Mr. Hwang.
"A date"?
I'm not interested.
My gosh, you're still so young.
Aren't you lonely without a husband?
I'm not lonely at all, and I'm not seeking to get married.
My goodness, the guy is rich. He owns a building.
I can't believe you came all the way here to say that.
She told you she's not interested. You should leave.
How strange. He's rich.
Just go inside! Let's go.
My goodness.
Her kids are her only asset.
She'll never be able to meet a rich guy like him.
My gosh.
She told me she has a husband. Does that mean she lied to me?
That lady is unbelievable.
She's nosy about everyone in the neighborhood...
because her hair salon isn't getting any customers.
Don't worry.
You're the one who shouldn't be bothered by what she says.
Okay.
He's an old man who doesn't have any hair.
- What? - I made sure she got the message.
Have you talked to Min Ho's teacher?
Yes.
He apologized to the kids for having lied to them.
And the kids who beat him up eventually apologized.
Knowing Min Ho's personality, it would've been hard to do that.
Welcome home, Min Ho.
You should go talk to him.
I talked to your teacher.
Thank you for being so brave.
I know how upsetting it must've been for you.
What do you know?
I had to apologize to everyone and pretend like I was fine.
But do you know how small and intimidated I felt?
Every time my friends talked about their dads,
I had to stay quiet because I had nothing to say.
That's why I studied so hard.
It gave me something to talk about.
They listened to me whenever I talked about studying.
You don't know how I feel. You're just lying.
Why do I always end up being such a bad mom?
What did Min Ho say?
Don't worry about it.
Hello?
I'm calling to talk to you about purchasing your land.
May I talk to your husband?
Why do you need to talk to my husband?
You've been very uncooperative regarding the issue,
so we'd like to talk to your husband instead.
I don't have a husband.
- What do you mean? - He's dead.
I'm the property owner, why would you ask for my husband?
Let me make myself clear. I don't intend to settle at all.
You can try all you want, but it'll be useless.
So don't bother to call me again.
I can't believe she lied about having a husband...
just so she could put me in trouble.
I was on my way out because you weren't in your seat.
You came to see me?
I heard you were told to get the people in Seogye-dong to settle.
And I heard you were given orders by your mother and brother.
You seem to know a lot.
I know everything about you.
You're only making me feel uncomfortable.
Isn't it weird? Why do you think your mother asked you to do that?
Your mother wants Director Kang to become the successor.
What's your point?
Once the issue finally gets settled,
the project will quickly proceed.
It's a great chance for you to prove your competence.
But why do you think she asked you to do it?
Are you saying she has an ulterior motive?
It's best to be careful.
It sounds like you're worried about me.
But you're only splitting our family apart,
and it makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Why do you keep doing this?
Do you like me or something?
What if I do?
It's never going to happen. I'm not interested in you at all.
You know my brother likes you, right?
Don't make things awkward between me and my brother.
Please.
Suk Hwan, have you ever met that woman named Oh Pil Jeong?
No, Mr. Ha did. Before him, another employee was in charge.
Oh Pil Jeong is a very difficult woman.
We tried blackmailing her and appeasing her,
but nothing ever worked.
You told me...
that we need to convince people rather than coerce them.
So you should move in there and convince them to settle.
If you become close with them,
you can get them to settle in no time.
Do you really think it's possible?
We know it's not going to be easy.
That's why we're asking you to step up and solve the issue.
Whatever the case, I still refuse to move in there.
It sounds like you're not confident.
What?
I think you're refusing because you don't think you can do it.
She's right.
If you really want to make this work,
you should do everything it takes and give it your best shot.
Your father recently took out an extra loan from the bank...
because there's been an increase in our project cost.
Why do you keep doing this?
Do you like me or something?
What if I do?
It's never going to happen. I'm not interested in you at all.
Darn it.
My goodness, you're scaring me.
What's with that look on your face?
Did something happen?
No, it's nothing.
Are things not working out with Kang Suk Joon?
You're normally very good with men,
so the fact that he's still standing his ground...
shows that he's pretty stubborn.
It's nothing like that.
If you can't take the bull by the horns,
it's time you try something else.
Like what?
You should make friends with his close friends and family.
If you marry Kang Suk Joon,
the chairwoman of the foundation will become your mother-in-law.
So first and foremost, you need to win her favor.
But I don't think she likes me.
That's not good.
Let me give you some advice as someone who lives longer than you.
A woman is better off marrying a man who loves her...
rather than marrying a man who makes her heart flutter.
That way, you'll get to live a confident life.
- You told me that already. - Look at me.
I practically forced your dad to marry me,
and I had to walk on eggshells until the day he died.
My lifelong wish is to meet a man...
who loves me like crazy.
But it's too late for that now.
That's why I'm telling you to make the right choice.
Kang Suk Hwan is not the right guy for me.
Then just do what you need to do...
to win the chairwoman's favor.
There.
- Mom. - Yes?
Never mind.
What is it?
No, it's nothing. Let me think about it a bit more.
What? Is something on your mind?
- Of course. - I wonder what it is.
I'll tell you next time.
- Hello? - It's me, Kim Min Cheol.
Why are you calling me at this hour?
I need to talk to you, so meet me outside.
I don't want to talk to you.
And if you must, we can meet tomorrow afternoon.
If you meet me now, I won't make you pay for the rest of the repair cost.
- Then meet me at the cafe... - No.
I'll meet you at the gosiwon restaurant.
The gosiwon restaurant?
Welcome.
It's been so long. Have you been well?
Yes.
Long time no see. Are you here for your husband?
What?
Honey.
What took you so long?
Let's have a drink together. Come here.
Get over here.
Let's have a nice time together.
What are you doing here?
You told them I'm your husband.
You don't have a husband, do you?
You guys look good together.
What is the matter with you?
Until when are you going to follow me around...
saying you're my husband?
If you keep doing this, I'll report you to the cops.
Isn't he your husband?
No, he's not. He kept following me around...
when my husband was abroad.
And he kept telling everyone that he's my husband.
He's a weirdo.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Do you think I'm crazy?
You were the one who told them that I'm your husband.
I only did that because I didn't want you to make a scene here.
Will you stop following me around?
I'm married, okay?
You're not my husband.
You really are unbelievable.
Are you really her husband?
Are you crazy? Why would I be her husband?
No, I mean...
Honey, call the cops.
- What? - You look so normal.
But I guess he's just a crazy stalker.
I should've given you money when you promised you'll stop...
following me around if I paid you.
Take this and get lost, you jerk!
Hey!
Hey, wait! Nuthead!
- Where are you going? - Where do you think you're going?
You even took her money.
What are you doing? Hurry up and call the cops.
- Okay. - No, wait.
I'm not a stalker!
She really has a thing for getting me in trouble.
- Hey, Suk Joon. - Hey, Ki Beom.
You told me you have a friend who works in tax, right?
I can't believe he tried to use my weakness against me.
I swear I will never meet him again.
(LX Foundation, Daehan Middle School)
Your teacher never called.
I know.
Aren't you going to tell me what happened?
It's nothing.
Do I not need to be worried?
No.
Oh, gosh.
What's the matter?
She's so annoying.
What?
She's my PE teacher, and she's really annoying.
See you.
I was just about to go see you.
We'll soon be able to settle with purchasing the land.
We'll give you a loan once you come to a settlement...
and start with the construction.
No, wait. Hello?
Hello?
Darn it.
Let's go, sir.
The bank canceled our loan.
What? But they promised to give us a loan today.
Why would they...
It's because the settlement keeps getting delayed.
They're going to give us the loan once we manage to settle.
I wonder why he suddenly changed his mind.
If we don't get the loan,
it'll cause a big issue with the project.
How much cash can we gather?
Not enough, sir.
Thank you, sir.
I'll explain the details once we meet.
My cousin's law firm...
is planning to switch their main bank.
So I gave him your business card.
Yes, okay. Bye then.
I just talked to the bank president.
What did the chairman say?
He's very distressed because of the issue.
Then can you help us out a little?
Me?
I want you to convince Suk Joon.
If Suk Hwan and I try to talk to him,
he might get the wrong idea since we're his family.
But if you step up and tell him the current situation,
Suk Joon will finally understand how serious this is.
The chairman already has a bad liver.
I'm worried that he might collapse at this rate.
Okay, I'll do as you say.
So it's very important for us to get the settlement.
That way, we'll be able to get the loan.
I didn't want to say this to you.
But the chairman is having a really hard time.
(LX Customer Service Center)
Your father recently took out an extra loan from the bank...
because there's been an increase in our project cost.
I didn't want to say this to you.
But the chairman is having a really hard time.
Hey, Ki Beom.
Really?
Kim Bok Soon was the previous owner,
and she transferred the house to the current owner.
But there were no transactions made.
They're not a family, so I guess it was a gift.
But that's weird, too.
She transferred the house without receiving any money?
It looks like Kim Bok Soon even paid for the gift tax.
Is this even possible?
It's very rare.
Either she stole the house,
or there's something we don't know about.
This is just my assumption.
But I think Oh Pil Jeong might've fooled the old lady...
to make her give up her house.
(Owner: Oh Pil Jeong)
Where is Min Ho?
He went to school early...
because he didn't want to run into the other kids.
What if he gets bullied again?
His teacher told me that he'll be fine.
But I think I should visit her.
I'm sure Min Ho doesn't feel better yet.
Who's here so early in the morning?
I'll go.
- Who is it? - It's me.
Ma'am.
I found a lodger for you.
Really?
- Can we take a look at the house? - Of course.
Come this way.
What are you doing here?
He's your new lodger.
What?
We meet again, Ms. Oh.
(Mom Has an Affair)
Why are you trying to move in here?
What's your ulterior motive?
Do you think he's going to give up on moving in there?
We'll have to make sure he doesn't give up.
Once I put my mind to something, I never give up.
I'm doing this for Director Kang.
The chairman will be very pleased.
Since when did you care so much about Suk Hwan?
Forget it if you're not interested.
Gosh, you're so impatient.
