(Episode 46)
What? What did you just say?
I'm hoping you'll quit your job once we get married.
I heard you're a short-term teacher.
I can't stand seeing my wife...
feel small and despised around others.
I like teaching kids.
And if I'm lucky, I might become a full-time teacher.
Kids these days don't even respect their teachers.
The social status of teachers has gone down a long time ago.
I need a wife who is willing to support me at home.
I can make money.
You can stay home, raise the children,
and do housework.
I really enjoy teaching kids at school.
Becoming a teacher has always been my dream.
Once we get married,
you'll start enjoying different things...
such as getting massages, playing golf,
fashion, or going on trips.
There are tons of other things to enjoy in life.
My late wife also focused her life on me.
She stayed home and didn't get tainted by the outside world.
She lived under my protection.
I heard you and your kids lived a tough life.
From now on,
you can live under my protection.
I know I'm just a short-term teacher.
But the several months I spend with the kids are very precious to me.
I'd like to keep working even after I get married.
It's my dream.
Why don't you change it and focus on creating a happy family?
Do you have enough budget?
Only if my friend invests his money.
Why isn't he calling me?
- Come down and have tea. - Okay.
What are you doing?
I'm going to start something.
I'm going to open up a pizza delivery restaurant.
I'll promote your place to our neighbors.
You told me you gave birth to your son here, right?
Does that mean you've been living here...
your entire life?
Why?
At first, I lived in Garibong-dong.
"Garibong-dong"?
Yes, I worked as a cook at a bar in Garibong-dong.
After my husband died due to an accident...
right after my son was born,
I started working there again.
Didn't you say the bar was called "Black Rose"?
Yes.
"Black Rose"?
Didn't you have any other jobs after that?
Why are you asking her so many questions?
You're making her miss her son.
Hey, it turns out she did live in Garibong-dong.
She worked at a bar called "Black Rose".
She worked there before and after her son was born.
So it was probably between 1984 to 1986.
Tell him to find someone who used to work there.
Okay, thanks.
My gosh, I feel so refreshed thanks to the chicken soup.
I think I'm already gaining energy.
It was nice to see you eat so well.
Eun Ju is tough to please, isn't she?
No, she's very kind to me.
I'm just upset that we didn't get to meet seven years ago.
If we met back then,
we'd have kids who are about this big by now.
Right, Eun Ju?
You're the only person she can rely on.
So take good care of her.
My goodness, don't worry.
I'll treat her like a treasure chest.
Gosh, you're so corny.
Can I talk to you later?
What? Sure.
Hello?
What? She wants me to reduce the monthly rent?
I've already done enough for her.
Does she think I'm a pushover?
Mom, please.
Tell her to move out right now.
I'm not going to renew the contract.
Mother.
You just scared me a little.
My goodness.
70,000 dollars?
Yes, I want to start a pizza delivery business with a friend.
And we're each going to pay half.
Why don't you just work at the company?
I want to start a business.
Just think of it as an investment and lend me some money.
Let me discuss it with your sister first.
If you...
If you tell Eun Ju, she'll definitely be against it.
Then I'm going to do what she says.
You're just going to abandon your loyalty...
now that you're married?
"Loyalty"?
Since when were we so loyal to each other?
You told me to ask you for anything.
Are you going to be cheap like this...
and ask Eun Ju for permission every single time?
What? Did you just call me "cheap"?
I'll just get a job at LX Group.
I'll get a job there and cause trouble.
Then Eun Ju will feel small around your parents,
and they'll start disliking her. Is that okay with you?
Okay, fine. I'm only doing this for Eun Ju's sake.
You're not going to tell my mom and sister, right?
I won't tell them. But instead, you'd better do well.
Of course. I'll pay you back if the business goes well.
- You'd better pay me back. - Okay.
My goodness.
I'm hoping you'll quit your job once we get married.
Hey, Mi Yeong.
I heard the principal promised to hire you full-time...
if your team wins an award.
Must I hear the news from someone else?
I still have a long way to go.
You'll become a full-time teacher if your team wins an award.
You've been dreaming of this for so long.
"Dream"?
You put up with all the hardships and discrimination...
hoping you'll become a full-time teacher one day.
Pil Jeong, you're very close to achieving your goal.
Make sure your team wins so you can get hired full-time. Okay?
- I'm home. - Hey.
Did you enjoy your date?
It was okay.
What's with the long face?
He wants me to quit if we get married.
He wants me to focus on being a housewife.
Did you tell him that your dream is to become a teacher?
I told him, but it was useless.
He wants me to stay home...
and live under his protection.
It sounds like he wishes to care for you.
But I'm not sure how to feel about that.
Maybe he said that to reassure you.
It's like the gates to a palace have opened up for me.
And now, all I have to do is just step inside.
But I'm so scared to do that.
I feel like it'll be a completely different world.
I'm not sure if I should go inside.
Will you please hurry up?
If you're busy, just come inside and wash.
You told me you'll come out over 10 minutes ago.
Shouldn't there be another bathroom outside?
Why is there only one bathroom when there are tons of people here?
If you need to wash, just go wash outside.
Stop complaining every morning.
Am I supposed to take a shower outside?
Didn't your sister go on a date last night?
Why is she so cranky?
She has a lot on her mind.
He asked her to quit her job if they get married.
What?
So are you going to quit your job?
I'm thinking about it.
What are you talking about?
Aren't you going to become a full-time teacher?
You've been given a chance to become a full-time teacher.
But you're just going to throw that opportunity away?
Who are you to get so worked up about this?
How do you expect me to stay calm?
Do you know how hard...
You told me your dream is to become a full-time teacher.
Are you going to throw your dream away...
like a piece of trash just because of some guy?
It's not because of the guy.
I'm considering it because of the kids.
He's willing to support my kids.
And giving my kids a better life...
is more important to me.
Then what does that make me?
I asked the principal to offer her a full-time job.
Why would she give up on her dream...
just for a guy?
My goodness.
Mr. Kim, how much longer do I need to wait?
Why?
I really need to go!
This darn family is unbelievable.
- Good morning. - Did you sleep well?
Yes.
This is milk vetch root tea.
It helps you regain your energy if you drink it in the summer.
Okay, thank you.
You should've slept at your mother's place.
Wasn't she upset to see you leave?
No, she was the one who told me to go.
Mother, you should also have some.
My body tends to be cold, so that stuff isn't good for me.
Didn't you know that milk vetch root reduces the heat in your body?
My goodness, I didn't know.
That stuff is used for medicine.
You should've asked us about our constitution before you made it.
I'm sorry. I'll be more careful from now on.
Why didn't you just drink it? It's not that big of a deal.
If I drink it, she'll keep bringing me tea.
I don't want to feel uneasy when I drink tea.
Then at least be nicer to her.
How badly did Mr. Kim get hurt?
He rolled down the mountain, so he hurt both his legs.
He has to get hospitalized for at least one month.
Thank goodness he didn't hurt his head.
Why don't you use this chance to hire a new driver?
He's been driving for me for dozens of years.
I can't fire him when he's at the hospital right now.
Even if he gets discharged, he won't be able to drive.
I'll think about it when the time comes.
Pay for his hospital bills including the surgery.
Okay.
You can drive today.
Find him a temporary driver.
Yes, I was going to drive. Let's go, Dad.
If you want to make me something for my health,
bring me a drink that's good for my physical constitution.
I shouldn't have made milk vetch root tea.
- 38, 39, - 38, 39,
- 40. - 40.
We're all done, Ms. Oh.
Ms. Oh.
Hey, are you done?
Then let's just call it a day.
Already?
It's not good to exercise too much under the sun.
You don't look so well, Ms. Oh.
Really?
You all did great today.
(Daehan Middle School)
- Bye, Ms. Oh. - Bye, Ms. Oh.
Do you have something to say?
Min Ho told me you're getting married. Is that true?
He sends me texts and keeps bragging about it.
Really?
Do you also want me to get married?
No.
Even if you do get married, get married after the competition.
That way, you'll be able to focus on winning.
I didn't know you cared so much about the competition.
The kids and I have a goal now.
We're going to win an award at the competition...
so that you can become a full-time teacher.
Why don't you find a driver for the chairman?
May I do it?
You want to be his driver?
Yes.
I'll be able to keep an eye on him.
If he ever tries to visit the house in Seogye-dong,
I'll be able to tell you right away.
Your dad's been worried about Suk Joon lately,
so he keeps wanting to visit that house in Seogye-dong.
If Mr. Ha drives for him,
we'll be able to stop him from going there.
Then we should let him drive for Dad.
Dad will also feel comfortable around someone he knows.
I'll tell the chairman about it.
I want you to drive for him starting from tomorrow.
Yes, ma'am.
Our sales have been skyrocketing...
after Choi Woo Mi gave her one point lesson.
That's great.
The fact that she used to be a caddie is acting as an advantage.
Our golf course shops are doing especially well.
We've only been focusing on our retail shops.
But I guess we should manage the golf course shops as well.
Yes.
Let's come up with marketing ideas for the golf courses...
in Gyeonggi Province.
Wouldn't it be better to visit the golf courses?
Ki Beom and Su Gyeong, I want you guys to visit...
the membership-based golf courses that we listed up early this year.
- Okay, sir. - Okay, sir.
Now that we even know the name of the bar,
we'll easily be able to find her son.
What are you thinking about?
It makes me so angry.
I gave her a chance to become a full-time teacher...
because that's what she wanted.
But she's thinking about quitting because of a guy.
Are you talking about Oh Pil Jeong?
Yes.
I helped her for nothing. I can't even brag about it to her.
You helped her because you wanted to.
Why are you so angry about it?
But still,
how could she give up on her lifelong dream?
My gosh.
Not many people get to achieve their dreams.
We all just bury it in our hearts.
If it comes true, it'll no longer be a dream.
What are you saying?
Imagine how tormenting it must be for to give up on her dream.
You really got yourself the money to invest?
- Yes. - How?
I took out a loan.
Now that we have the money, what should we do first?
We need to find a place to start our business.
It's going to be a delivery place,
so we need to find a place that's located near houses...
or a school rather than focusing on the size.
- Do you have your own pizza recipe? - Of course.
I've written down dozens of recipes over the years.
I also learned a few stuff while I worked part-time.
By the way, you're not going to make me do all the delivery work, right?
That depends on you.
First, let's find a real estate office...
that's located near an officetel.
We can talk about the rest after we decide on a place.
- Okay. - Do you think we'll do well?
What's wrong with you? I'm doing this because I trust you.
Don't put pressure on me too much. I'm really worried.
We'll be fine.
No, we need to succeed.
I need to pay back my loan.
I told my friends that I might have a dad soon.
I thought you didn't like him.
If I miss Jumbak,
I'll just visit Grandma.
I guess you guys have already made up your minds.
Mom, do you love him?
What?
My teacher told me...
that we were able to be born because our mothers and fathers...
fell in love and got married.
So if you decide to marry him,
that means you love him, right?
I plan to get married...
if you guys like him.
Even if you don't love him?
That's just too much to ask.
I'd be asking for too much.
Let's go inside.
What's the matter?
My mom always bought me everything I wanted.
But do you know what was missing?
Love.
She never loved me.
She treated me as if she was giving alms to a stranger...
so she wouldn't cross my dad.
But this woman is different.
Are you talking about Oh Pil Jeong?
She doesn't mind...
pouring alcohol for a customer if that customer pays her money.
She just cares about...
saving up all that money so she could buy meat for her kids.
At first, I really didn't like her for how she behaved.
But after I started living with them,
I started to understand why she behaves that way...
and what a great mother she is.
Is that why you wanted to help her become a full-time teacher?
Her one and only dream is to become a teacher.
She seemed desperate for it.
But now, she's willing to give up on her dream...
because of her blind date?
I mean, come on.
She has a long life ahead of her.
Why would she decide to give up on her dream...
and sacrifice her life for a guy?
But wouldn't it be easier to get them to settle...
if she gets married and moves out of the house in Seogye-dong?
But you're against her getting married.
Do you like her?
What? That's totally absurd.
I'm asking you because you seem so worked up.
It's because I pity her.
Do you think she'll be happy with her new husband...
after she gives up on her dream?
And if he truly cares about her,
he should support her dream.
Then why don't you support her dream instead?
She won't listen to me.
No, not as Kim Min Cheol.
Support her dream as Director Kang Suk Joon.
What?
Who are you to get so worked up about this?
How do you expect me to stay calm?
Do you know how hard...
You told me your dream is to become a full-time teacher.
Are you going to throw your dream away...
like a piece of trash just because of some guy?
I've searched everywhere, but I can't find my sister.
I'm sure Kang Tae Su...
took my sister away.
That's enough.
Was Kang Tae Su the person who took Ae Sim away from us?
I'm asking about Ae Sim.
Don't tell anyone about this.
You can't tell anyone.
If they find out that someone took Ae Sim,
they'll kill her.
I've been hiding here for eight years.
But I can't seem to find her...
no matter how hard I try.
Don't tell anyone.
You can't tell a single soul.
Please don't tell anyone.
I feel reassured that you're my driver.
Thank you.
I promise I will do my best, sir.
What are you doing inside my dad's car?
I was cleaning the car.
You seemed to be looking for something.
I was making sure I didn't drop any balls of tissue.
Really?
Let's go.
Let's have this one.
This one is good.
It must be hard to coach the kids.
The kids are probably having a harder time.
Are things working out with your blind date?
I heard you might get remarried soon.
I can't believe you heard about it as well.
Have you made up your mind?
Didn't you also go on a blind date?
You told me the principal set you up.
- Yes. - Did it go well?
I went there without even knowing about it,
so it didn't end up very well.
I met the guy because the kids wanted a dad.
But it's not easy.
Yes, I know.
It's harder to get remarried when you've already been married once.
That's why I gave up.
Yu Kyung doesn't want me to get remarried either.
I envy you.
You're the one getting married,
so I think it's more important to think about how you feel.
I hope you're happy even though you're doing this...
for the kids.
(Director Kang Suk Joon)
It's time to go home.
Did you make up your mind?
Yes.
Good luck.
- I'm home. - Come and eat dinner.
Okay.
Hey.
Director Kang wishes to meet you.
He does? Why?
You helped him sign a deal with Choi Woo Mi,
and you also helped with the one point lesson.
So he wishes to thank you.
It's okay. I did it for Woo Mi.
But he's trying to thank you. You should meet him.
She's right.
Don't you want to know what kind of guy he is?
I know I haven't even met him, but thanks to someone,
I already hate the guy.
Are you really not going to meet him?
No.
Do you know that Min Ho and Min Ji...
came all the way to the company to talk to Director Kang?
My kids did that?
They came to ask him to meet you.
- I can't believe those kids. - No, wait.
I didn't tell you so you'd scold them.
I think the director feels bad about sending them home like that.
Why don't you just meet him in person...
and explain to him why your kids were there?
Why aren't you coming?
You promised to meet him with me.
Something came up at work, so I can't make it.
Then you want me to meet him all by myself?
He's not a scary guy, so don't worry.
Enjoy your time.
Hello? Min Cheol.
My gosh, why is it so hot in here?
(Mom Has an Affair)
- Did you meet Director Kang? - How was he?
I have something to say to you first.
I think he's seeing the owner of the house in Seogye-dong.
Do you think he likes her?
I know you're his wife, but I can't tell you without his permission.
How long has Mr. Ha been working for you?
Why are you so curious about Mr. Ha all of a sudden?
If Suk Joon can't find his mom,
- we should make her find him. - How?
We just need to help her out a little.
Hey, Ki Beom. Really?
