(Episode 40)
I heard you said my experience as a caddie...
could help me build a more positive image.
I'll trust you on that and sign the sponsorship.
Thank you.
You really used to be a caddie?
My dream was to become a golf player.
But I had no money and no chance to practice.
So I got a job as a caddie.
I believe that's how I was able to become so good.
My agency kept promoting me like I was an elite.
And I behaved accordingly.
I knew it wasn't right, but I couldn't muster up my courage.
But I changed my mind after I met Pil Jeong.
What? "Pil Jeong"?
Are you talking about Oh Pil Jeong?
Yes.
Our boss caught me practicing golf one day,
but she managed to stop him from firing me.
Pil Jeong played a big part...
in helping me become who I am today.
Some people might criticize you...
for having lied in your interviews.
But in the end, they'll come around and understand...
that you worked as a caddie to achieve your goal.
Pil Jeong said the same thing.
And I'm ready to get criticized.
Once we start sponsoring you,
we're going to come up with a new marketing plan for you.
And we'll support you to the best of our abilities...
so that you'll be able to practice freely.
Thank you.
I feel so much better now that I've told you everything.
We're the ones who are grateful for your honesty.
We'll contact you as soon as the contract is ready.
Okay.
- Did you talk to your agency? - Don't worry.
I already talked about it with them before I came.
- It's an honor to meet you. - Thank you.
I'll be off then.
Let's go.
Did Choi Woo Mi come to sign a deal with us?
- Yes. - My gosh.
How did this happen?
It was practically impossible.
I heard Director Kang's acquaintance met up with her and talked to her.
Maybe that's why.
Thank you for choosing LX Group.
You should thank Pil Jeong.
I only decided...
to sign a deal with you guys because of what she said.
Do you know her well?
No, I only heard a few things about her.
She's an amazing woman.
She always stayed confident regardless of her hardships.
And for that, she was my role model.
The three of us should meet up one day.
- What? - Bye then.
Wasn't that Choi Woo Mi?
Yes.
What was she doing here?
- Is she going to sue you? - "Sue"?
She came here to sign a deal with us.
What?
I thought the deal was off the table up until this morning.
This is unbelievable.
Yes, it really is. Director Kang did something great.
Great work, Director Kang.
Thank you.
You didn't blackmail her to make her sign a deal, did you?
The world has changed these days.
We can't blackmail anyone into signing a deal.
I only said that because this was so unexpected.
- Good work. - Thank you.
Everything Choi Woo Mi wears, uses, and eats...
are all becoming very popular these days.
Imagine her wearing our clothes...
when she enters the US Women's Open Championship.
It'd be even great if she wins.
Just the thought of it makes me get excited.
She hasn't even signed the contract yet.
She's going to sign it tomorrow.
You all did great.
The executive director got our brand into Royal Department Store.
And the director got Choi Woo Mi to sign a sponsorship deal with us.
I feel so reassured to see both of you do a great job.
I agree, sir.
Great.
Come on. I didn't even do anything.
You should relax a little now that you decided to sign a deal.
Pil Jeong, thank you so much.
By the way, Director Kang...
seemed like a trustworthy and decent guy.
I guess he's back from his business trip.
How was he?
You told me you never met him, right?
He's a gentleman, and he's very handsome.
The three of us should eat together one day.
Sure. Bye then.
Did you want to see me?
Yes.
Are you really not going join the track and field team?
I already told you that I'm done.
Stop acting like you care...
just because you let me sleep at your place for one night.
We managed to sign a deal with Choi Woo Mi...
thanks to that woman named Oh Pil Jeong?
Yes, pretty much.
Why?
Did they already become close enough to help each other out?
That's not good.
Why don't you make Director Kang move out of there?
No, he... He needs to stay there.
Why? You told me there are other ways...
to get those people to settle.
You... You don't need to know.
Yes, ma'am.
Okay, I'll be right there.
- Was that my mom? - Yes.
My gosh.
What is she going to say to her this time?
What happened, sir?
I saw you and Ms. Lee hugging each other in your office.
Oh, that?
Come on. I'm sure you already know what's going on.
Does that mean Ms. Lee also likes you?
Yes, she likes me.
Congratulations, sir.
Is that Suk Hwan?
- Yes. - Suk Hwan told us...
that he wishes to marry you...
now that he knows that you like him too.
But is that true?
Yes.
What made you change your mind?
From what I remember,
you told me you never go back once you make a decision.
I suddenly came to realize how sincere he is.
Are you sure it's not because he's the chairman's son?
That's why I pushed him away.
He's too good for me,
and I know I don't deserve to covet him.
But I suddenly felt grateful...
for how much he likes me even though I have nothing.
You're going to marry him because you're grateful?
What kind of woman would reject a man who loves her sincerely?
That's why I started having feelings for him.
I'm going to repay him for his love once I get married.
How?
I heard the chairman wants...
Director Kang to become the successor.
But I'll do everything to make sure the executive director...
becomes the chairman.
Are you confident?
Yes, I'm confident.
Eun Ju.
What did my mom say?
Was she mean to you?
No, she's very kind to me.
Really?
Then let's go on a date tonight.
Okay.
What did you say to Eun Ju?
Why? Are you looking out for her already...
so that I won't be mean to her?
No, I'm just worried you might've said something to hurt her.
She told me she'll make you become the successor.
She said that?
What did I tell you? I told you she'll be a great wife.
You're such a fool for her.
If I marry her,
we'll have one more person on our side.
I'm just worried because she seems much smarter than you.
I'm worried she might have control over you.
That won't happen to me. You'll see.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.
Does that mean you approve of our marriage?
I can't believe Choi Woo Mi signed a deal with us.
This was so unexpected.
I thought you'd be happy after all the hard work.
But why the long face?
Oh Pil Jeong was the person who talked to Choi Woo Mi.
"Oh Pil Jeong"? The owner of the house you live in?
Yes, they used to work together as caddies.
She apparently helped Choi Woo Mi practice playing golf.
What are you going to do now?
She helped you with something huge.
But you've been lying to her.
Exactly.
It's better to just get it over with.
Tell her there will be no blind date with the director.
How do you think she'll react if I tell her I lied?
She'll obviously throw a fit.
She's already done so many things for you.
Hey, you're home.
Woo Mi called me earlier.
I heard she decided to sign the contract.
Yes, thank you for helping.
Hey.
About the director... The truth is...
He's back from his business trip, isn't he?
I bet he's happy about the deal.
What?
Well...
Put in a good word for me.
Give me heads up before you fix a date for us...
so I can get my hair done and buy some clothes.
How am I supposed to tell her?
I can tell that you're a bookworm.
Stop getting any funny ideas and just study hard.
What's wrong, Min Ho? Are you angry?
Will you stop bothering me?
Just get out!
You must be tired.
Mom, Min Ho is weird.
Why?
He was zoning out one moment,
and then he suddenly got angry at me. He's so stupid.
I wonder if something happened.
He's going through puberty.
Pil Jeong, when will you get to meet the director?
I'm not sure.
He's back in Korea now, so we'll be able to meet soon.
Is that why you have a sheet mask on your face?
I just found one, so I thought I'd try it out.
By the way, remember Choi Woo Mi?
Yes. Isn't she the famous golf player...
who used to work with you as a caddie?
Yes, she's going to sign a deal with LX Group.
My goodness.
You should've told her to put in a good word for you.
You should've asked her what he's like.
I already did.
She told me he seems trustworthy.
Really?
It already seems like he has a great personality.
Is he handsome?
Yes, he's handsome.
Then there's no need to worry about his looks.
I wonder if Min Ji will like him.
I heard you told my mom that you'll make me become the successor.
Who am I to make you become the successor?
You're already competent, so it's just something you deserve.
I'll support you from behind.
I can do anything as long as I have you by my side.
You just wait.
I'll make you become the chairman's wife.
Is the chairman rooting for your brother?
My dad is always on Suk Joon's side.
But that doesn't matter because I have you.
I trust you, sir.
We're dating now.
Stop calling me that.
You should call me by my name when we're outside the office.
I can't call you by your name.
But I want to hear it.
Give it a try.
Go on.
Suk Hwan.
I didn't know my name sounded so great.
Hearing you say my name...
makes it sound a lot fancier.
I had fun tonight.
Now that I'm here,
why don't I say hello to your mother?
Right now?
Tae Woo.
Your sister is going to bring Kang Suk Hwan home.
Why would he come unannounced? He should've called beforehand.
They're right outside.
I couldn't wait to meet him, so I told them to come inside.
This is Executive Director Kang.
This is my mom.
Hello, Mother. I'm Kang Suk Hwan.
"Mother"? Welcome.
I had no plans to visit, so I came empty-handed.
But next time I visit, I promise I'll be more formal.
I'm also quite taken-aback because this is all very new.
Hi.
Hello.
My brother also lives with us,
but he left to have dinner with his daughter.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
I heard you really like Eun Ju.
Yes, I fell for her...
the moment I first saw her seven years ago at the restaurant.
After that day, I heard she went to England...
and got really disappointed.
But when I found out she applied for a job at our company,
I became so thrilled.
I guess you guys were meant to be seeing that you ended up together...
even though you both didn't show up to your blind date.
I also agree with that, Mother.
Suk Hwan went through a lot because of me.
I'm so happy that I finally got to win her heart.
I'm also glad that Eun Ju is with someone...
who truly cares for her.
Now that you're here, can I ask you for a favor?
You just met him.
Whatever it is, ask him next time.
No, it's okay. Go ahead and tell me.
I have two requests.
First, don't ever cheat on Eun Ju.
Of course.
I'll be loyal to her until the day I die.
And secondly, if Eun Ju and your mother...
end up having a disagreement,
I want you to take my daughter's side no matter what.
Mom.
She's marrying you because she trusts you.
If you don't take her side,
she'll have no one to rely on.
You're not asking him for favors. You're forcing him.
Stay quiet.
Okay, I'll take Eun Ju's side no matter what.
I love how straightforward you are.
As long as you promise to do those two things,
I'd be more than happy to have you as my son-in-law.
"Son-in-law"?
Thank you, Mother.
I guess this is your room.
I use it with my cousin, so it's a bit cramped.
I can't wait to get married...
so we can live together.
Don't worry too much about what my mom said earlier.
She didn't need to ask me to do those things.
I'll always take your side no matter what.
It's late. You should go.
What? Oh, right. I should go.
It's a pity that you decided to quit...
even though I got you the job.
Will you do everything for me just because I'm Eun Ju's brother?
I'll do as much as I can.
You're my only brother-in-law, so I should be nice to you.
You can come visit me whenever you need my help.
- Let's go, Suk Hwan. - Okay, Eun Ju.
I'll see you again.
Let's go.
They're calling each other by their names already?
They just started dating, but they're already so corny.
Did you talk to Ms. Lee?
She told me Suk Hwan's sincerity is what changed her mind.
So what do you plan to do?
How can I stop them...
when they're head over heels for each other?
If you're going to approve, do it with a light heart.
Ms. Lee is good enough for him.
- I'm home. - Hey, you're late.
Yes, I met Eun Ju's mother.
You already introduced yourself to her?
Yes, I said hello to her...
as I dropped Eun Ju off.
Dad, you guys should hurry up and meet her family.
Why are you in such a rush?
I don't even need to have a wedding.
I just can't wait to live with her.
My gosh, that fool.
If you're really going to marry her, there's no need to postpone it.
Fix a date this weekend.
Okay.
Don't you think this is a bit too fast?
Shouldn't we do a background check on Ms. Lee...
Why would we do a background check?
She's not a criminal.
She's going to be your future daughter-in-law.
You should get ready to greet her and be grateful.
That's how you welcome someone new into the family.
Welcoming a new family member isn't that simple, you know.
Mom, if you keep being so negative, I won't stay still.
Don't worry about Jumbak dying.
Just take good care of her while she's still around.
She's right. Let's give her a lot of love...
while she's still with us.
No.
I don't like sleeping next to someone else.
Are you saying Min Ji slept on the cold floor?
I guess she wanted to sleep with Leon.
I want to sleep here with Jumbak.
Mr. Kim, can I sleep here?
No.
I don't like sleeping next to someone else.
What if she catches a cold?
- Min Ji. - No, wait.
Just a second.
Just let her sleep here.
I'll bring you breakfast. Today, it's cream soup.
Hey.
You don't need to cook a separate breakfast for me anymore.
I'll just eat rice.
It's okay.
If it makes you feel uneasy,
I'll just do it until I meet the director.
Gosh, just stop...
Just stop it.
I'm sick of eating bread now. I want to eat rice.
Why in the world are you so fickle?
I really should tell her today.
He came here yesterday?
He called her "Mother" the moment he first met her.
Is Eun Ju getting married?
Yes, he's the eldest son of LX Group's chairman.
He must be rich.
It's a pity that I didn't get to meet him.
Did Eun Ju go to work already?
She left early today.
Do you like your future son-in-law?
He's not too bad.
Are you kidding me? He's the best guy you can ask for.
He promised not to cheat,
and he even said he'll take Eun Ju's side...
whenever she has an argument with his mother.
He would've written a memorandum if she asked him to.
My gosh.
Did he agree to do those things?
If he didn't agree to them, I wouldn't have approved.
I'm also going to take my wife's side when I get married.
You'd better not.
Yu Kyung, all mothers-in-law are two-faced like her.
That's why I'm never going to get married.
My goodness.
People who say that always end up being the first ones to get married.
It seems like your mom approves of your marriage.
So you guys should discuss the schedule.
- Okay. - Thank you for your approval.
Please take good care of my son although he lacks in many ways.
You should talk to me more comfortably, Chairman Kang.
Eun Ju, come on.
Don't call him that. He's your father-in-law now.
Right.
I'm guessing I should treat you comfortably...
in order for you to do the same.
I feel reassured now that Suk Hwan has someone...
whom he can rely on.
I hope you look after him.
Yes, I'll do my best for both him and the company.
A wife is the only person who can lead a man...
to walk in the right direction.
Suk Hwan could become a totally different person...
depending on how you treat him.
I'll keep that in mind, Father.
"Father"?
Yes, okay.
- Did you ask for me? - Yes, have a seat.
Suk Hwan and Ms. Lee are getting married.
This is very sudden.
You know I've always liked Ms. Lee.
I finally managed to win her heart.
I called to officially introduce her to you.
I look forward to being your family.
Congratulations, you guys.
Thank you.
You guys will have to be careful from now on.
Especially you, Suk Hwan. Keep things professional...
when you guys are at work.
- Of course. - We'll keep that in mind.
Okay.
She's going to be your sister-in-law.
So be polite to her even if you're her boss.
Didn't you hear Dad?
He told you to keep things professional at work.
Even so, I won't stay still if I ever catch you...
being rude to your sister-in-law.
And the principal of Daehan Middle School...
is Eun Ju's mother.
You should greet her politely if you ever happen to meet her.
Okay.
I told my mom about this, and she was very surprised as well.
Once we get married, I should ask for a personnel transfer.
You're going to be the eldest daughter-in-law.
We can't have you work as a general manager.
I'm fine with how things are.
Don't ever say that to the chairman, okay?
Okay, fine.
You're so down to earth.
Why did you suddenly change your mind about Suk Hwan?
Why would I reject a guy who's head over heels for me?
Plus, his sincerity really touched my heart.
We're going to be a family now,
so I hope we become more comfortable.
After all, nothing ever happened between us.
- Sure. - You know how someone...
who has a really nice impression...
could turn out to be disappointing?
On the other hand, someone with a bad first impression...
could turn out to be pretty decent.
Your brother was the latter.
My brother really likes you. He's very sincere.
I hope you don't do anything to hurt him.
Yes, I know. That's why I decided to marry him.
- Is it yummy? - Yes.
Eat up.
Mom, can I get a cell phone?
I'm the only one in school who doesn't have a cell phone.
I told you you can have one when you enter ninth grade.
I can't even contact my friends. I'm becoming a loner at school.
Just get me one.
Why are you acting like a baby?
How am I supposed to wait until ninth grade?
This is so annoying.
I'm home.
You're late.
Hey, I need to talk to you.
I cooked some potato pancakes. You should have some.
Come and join us, Mr. Kim.
What is it about?
Never mind. Let's talk later.
I think he's mad that I slept in his room.
No way. I'm sure that's not it.
What if he gets angry...
and doesn't let you meet the director?
What?
It didn't seem like a good time to tell her, so I couldn't.
Again?
Then call her outside and tell her.
Should I tell her that I lied to her about setting her up...
with the director?
I feel like she might punch you.
Right?
Then should I lie...
and tell her that the director...
doesn't want to meet her?
She'll be disappointed.
But that's the only way to get out of this mess.
Okay, I should tell her that.
When did you come?
You lied to me about setting me up...
with Director Kang?
Well, the thing is...
Was it a lie or not?
I'm sorry. Let me explain.
(Mom Has an Affair)
Get out.
Get out of this room.
- Get out of my house! - No, wait.
When are you going to fire Oh Pil Jeong?
You just wait. If her team doesn't win any awards,
she'll instantly get fired.
Are you sure you think we can win?
You also lied about being friends with Director Kang, didn't you?
No, I really do know him well.
I realized that I thought of it too lightly.
