I...
told you that I was seeing someone.
It's...
(Episode 23)
Mr. Seo Min Gi, my manager.
What?
Oh, hey. Where have you been, all dressed up like that?
Did you pick up a side gig as a banquet server or something?
- I'm home. - Yes, hey.
I had a date.
A date?
Right, I heard about gigs like that. Posing as someone's boyfriend.
Why are you provoking me?
Are you getting jealous because I look so dashing?
- I'll head in. - Yes, all right.
If Dan Soo finds out, it'll turn into a headache.
It's just between you and me. Okay, Dad?
Your manager, Seo Min Gi?
Okay.
So, you work with him?
Yes. You know, Mom's friend from school...
who's like her enemy.
Mr. Seo Min Gi is...
her son.
What?
He is Ssang Sook's son?
"Ssang Sook?"
Dad, you know her too?
Well, yes.
Oh, no. This will turn into a headache.
It's nothing serious yet.
We're just starting out,
but I just wanted to let you know, Dad.
Oh, dear.
To use me as your shield?
Yes.
You know, this won't be easy.
Dad, please!
I really don't want to lose him.
My goodness. You must like him a lot, then.
Yes.
Since my daughter likes him,
I will do my best.
You're the best, Dad!
- Then... - Yes.
let's say your mom and I fell into the water.
Which one of us will you save first?
Dad, don't be so childish.
Which one of us will you save first?
Mom, of course.
What?
You little... Maeng Gong Hee! You deserve a scolding.
Oh, dear.
Kang Myung Ja and Jung Ssang Sook?
Things will get intense.
Oh, boy.
Oh, stop.
Am I invisible to you?
Hey.
Let's go somewhere and grab a drink together.
I've quit drinking.
Stop lying.
Who has quit drinking?
I really don't drink anymore.
Seriously, what's with you?
What did I do wrong?
I won't know unless you tell me.
If you suddenly pull this on me, I can't...
There's nothing like that, so just leave.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I don't know why you're so upset, but I'm sorry for everything. Okay?
So, accept my apology since I came all the way here to apologize.
You see, I'm not the type to apologize first.
Look, Mr. Maeng Gong Boo.
Yes, I'm right here.
Go ahead and tell me everything, okay?
What we had was a minor fender bender,
and now that everything's been sorted out,
I have no reason to see you anymore.
You told me...
to forget everything and just enjoy some good food.
Hey, that was...
I never said to forget me too.
I thought that was what you meant,
so don't come here again.
If you show up here again, I will...
I'll call the cops on you.
Hey, what's the problem?
At least tell me the reason.
Darn it.
Hi, Mom. What did you do today?
What do you think?
I watched TV.
I just did this and that.
Did you go and learn about poetry?
I did.
I wrote about goodbyes,
and I thought about Dad.
What did you write? Read it to me.
Shall I?
"The Phone Call From Dad."
"He said he had something to say and told me to stop by."
"I couldn't go as I was busy with life."
"He passed away a few days later."
Dad...
Why are you lying here like this?
"Wearing his oxygen mask,"
"Dad tried hard to say something."
Dad.
I'm here.
Myung Ja is here.
I'm sorry.
I should've put the kids and the shop aside...
and just run over here.
"I never got to hear..."
"what Dad tried to say to me."
"Goodbyes..."
"come without any warning."
(Kang Myung Ja's Book of Poetry)
"There is no later."
"There is no next time."
"What's certain is..."
"this moment right now."
"If not in this moment,"
"you can't promise anything."
"So, love now."
"Confess your feelings now."
"You must do it now."
"Before you're faced..."
"with having to say goodbye when you aren't even ready."
Myung Ja.
What rushed your dad...
that he left so suddenly?
He had a cold,
so he went to get some medicine.
But only...
his shoes came home.
I know.
I didn't even get time to say goodbye to Dad.
You shouldn't do that, Mom.
If you leave so suddenly like that,
it leaves regret and sorrow in your children's hearts.
Mom, thank you.
For what, out of the blue?
For picking up...
when I call you like this.
For being there...
when I run to you.
Thank you.
All I do is make you kids worry.
What are you thanking me for?
It's fine if I worry.
Just stay with me for a long time.
Answer the phone when I call you.
And hold my hand when I come to see you, okay?
Okay, I will.
Sleep well.
I'll see you for your next appointment.
To be honest,
I want to...
leave out of the blue like you.
I don't need to say goodbye any more than this.
This much is enough.
Please take me with you.
Don't make our kids...
go through any more heartaches.
(Bubble Up Laundry)
Hey, Gong Boo. Look at the state you're in.
Are you still moping around over a girl?
I believe my moping days are done.
You must've gotten over her now.
Of course. I'm pretty popular too.
I have three blind dates today too.
Good going.
Do something about your clinic first.
People may not be having many kids these days,
but if word gets out that you're a good doctor,
the clinic will do fine.
Is this the time for dating?
Dating is important too, Mom.
Is there nothing but money in life?
That's right. Your mom has become so materialistic...
that all she can see is money!
Did you go and tattle on us already?
The men in this family have caused so much trouble...
that all I can see is money!
Gong Hee, aren't you dating anyone?
Dad, why are you suddenly asking me that?
You asked me to help you.
Well, not now.
Oh, is that so?
I can't believe this.
You kids.
Dating is fine and all that.
But your partners will need my approval.
You will take care of it yourselves?
If you're going to say that nonsense,
you should leave this house now. I won't stop you.
Mom, Dan Soo is dating someone too.
All of a sudden?
- Are you dating someone? - Are you dating someone?
Well, it's not really dating.
There's just someone I want to go on dates with. That's all.
Goodness, that's great!
You've lived such a lonely life.
It'd be great if you had a girlfriend.
Right. Bring her by the shop sometime.
You should have her meet the elders.
Well, we're not that close yet.
I am curious who it is, though.
Does the woman you're seeing know that you're this rude?
Well... In a way, she's even worse than me.
She's worse than you? Is she that rude?
Oh, my! The bean sprout soup is so amazing!
Is it that tasty?
Of course! If you had been born centuries ago,
you would've been the highest court lady...
in the palace kitchen.
You sure know how to sweet-talk someone.
It's all part of social life.
You're eating so well. Oh, my.
Why would you go to a meeting like that?
Did you think I'd be heartbroken...
because of what those people said?
It's not your heart. Those words could break your soul.
If your soul is broken,
you don't even know you're broken...
and live as you keep bleeding.
Is that about yourself, perhaps?
Well...
Let's say that it is.
We can stop this now.
- What? - Our dates.
I'll count the effort you put in yesterday as three dates.
I'll tell the chairwoman that we've had five dates.
Well, you don't need to do that.
Why not?
Because I want to get to know you better.
Me?
Let's keep seeing each other.
Goodness, she hasn't been in touch for days.
What if she went and died somewhere?
What are you saying?
Don't even say such a thing.
What's going on?
There's no one we can ask either.
I know. We have to know something to call someone...
or ask around about her.
Do we know how old she is or who her family is?
Audrey. That's a fake name too.
Who is that employee?
She's right here, ma'am.
Oh, is that right?
The chairwoman of Jayce Group.
She started working in a clothing factory...
and grew Jayce Fashion with her bare hands.
Are you Ms. Maeng Gong Hee?
Yes, ma'am.
I heard that you made a huge contribution recently.
Oh, it was nothing big.
"It was nothing big?"
So, you can do something even bigger?
That's what it sounds like to me.
No, that is not what I meant.
I just meant that I didn't achieve it on my own.
Mr. Seo and Dan Soo worked on it with me,
and the dye master couple kindly agreed...
to be our models despite the circumstances.
But no one can deny that Gong Hee contributed the most.
Gu Dan Soo played a role in it too?
Mr. Seo.
Yes, ma'am.
Here's your bonus from Chairwoman Hwang.
- Oh, I'm sorry. - Here.
- Hey. - Thank you.
Take your teammates out for dinner since they all helped you.
Keep up the great work. All right, then.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I haven't visited this office in a while.
It'd be nice to hear the employees' honest opinions...
on how things are going.
You over there, the new hire.
So, how's it going?
Do you enjoy working for Jayce Fashion?
Do you have any complaints about anything?
Actually, I feel very uncomfortable.
The chairwoman of the company...
suddenly visiting the office like this.
Don't you think this would make your employees very uncomfortable?
Everyone was feeling sleepy after lunch,
and you had to make them form a line to greet you.
You actually want us to feel comfortable at work?
Then I hope this doesn't happen again.
Oh, is that so?
Ma'am, I promise you that I will train and discipline Dan Soo.
- Let's go. - Yes, ma'am.
- My goodness. - Have a good day, ma'am.
Wait!
Gu Dan Soo...
Gu Dan Soo.
You punk.
You brat. Do you think...
you're the chairwoman's grandson or something?
How dare you. How could you be so arrogant?
Director Lee!
You might regret this later on. Believe me. You'll regret this.
Come with me.
- You'll regret this! My ear... - Come on.
You'll rip my ear off!
(Director's Office)
Just you wait.
I'll get back at you for this.
Oh, wait.
By the way,
how much longer do you think...
you and Chairwoman Hwang can hide it from everyone?
Don't worry. I'm confident that no one will find out.
Watch your attitude if you want to keep hiding it.
There are others who work here too.
We shouldn't really be lecturing each other...
on how we should live our lives.
Who knew?
We can have a team dinner, thanks to you!
I know, right?
I feel like I'm dreaming now too.
By the way, your brother. That quack.
Please! Stop calling him like that.
He'd never dupe his patient.
Well...
Anyway,
do you know if he's seeing someone these days?
Maybe there's a woman he can't forget?
Or someone he's hung up on?
Well, I'm not sure.
These days,
he's busy going on blind dates.
He has three scheduled for today alone.
Blind dates?
Three, today alone?
That's right. He seems very excited these days.
Seriously, what is the matter with your brother?
Goodness, you scared me.
I mean, he's old enough.
At his age, he should calm down,
meet a nice woman, and settle down.
My gosh. He's a real piece of work.
What? What's wrong with blind dates?
He should meet many women...
to find the one to settle down with...
Hold on.
Why are you so angry now?
Me?
No. What do you mean I'm angry?
Well, I was just...
Just tell him I wish him all the best.
I hope he lives a good life.
You should live a good life, no matter whom you meet.
My gosh.
But as you know,
there are requirements to living a good life.
At our age, it's not like we'll just date passionately.
Right, that's true.
I heard you were a doctor...
with your own clinic.
How big is the clinic?
How much do you make?
I'm the only doctor at the clinic,
and we're in the red.
We can't even pay our rent at the moment.
I see.
I think being a doctor is very cool.
Not all doctors make a lot of money.
I don't want to get your hopes up, so let me say this up front.
I owe a lot of money to the bank.
My gosh.
You can take your time to pay it all off.
But you're not divorced, are you?
I mean, I hope you don't have a kid or...
I am divorced, on paper.
My ex-wife divorced me just a month after our wedding.
What a jerk!
Darn you!
I really don't think such conditions matter.
I see. I'm an unsuccessful doctor who runs a small OB-GYN clinic.
I owe a lot of money to the bank,
and I'm divorced.
Oh, I'm the eldest son,
and I have fatty liver disease, but it's not serious.
Well, I quit smoking,
but I don't know when I might start again...
I'll ask my mom.
Gosh, my stomach is upset.
Seriously, I'm telling you.
Come on. No way.
Listen, I...
What are you talking about? It sounds interesting.
She keeps talking nonsense.
No, I really saw it with my own two eyes.
Mr. Seo.
You and Gu Dan Soo are close, right?
He and Ms. Kang Ji Na are dating, aren't they?
Hey, she's the heiress of Dodo Group.
Didn't you hear?
Why would she date a newbie?
Do you think it makes sense? You know how snobby she is.
Listen, they were...
I saw the two of them in front of a hotel.
Right, I'm sure you were mistaken.
Hey, if Ms. Kang hears that...
you've been telling people this... My gosh, hey.
Do you think you can handle the consequences? Oh, boy.
It was probably them.
The two of them had a meeting with someone at the hotel.
Oh, really?
Hey, so they were there for work.
That's right.
But just in case... Yoo Ra.
Let's not say things people might misunderstand.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Bye.
Even earlier, they were flirting with each other in the hallway...
Hey, you and your mouth. Watch your mouth, okay?
Let go.
What is this about?
What's going on with you and Kang Ji Na?
What's going on that people are saying...
you two went to a hotel together?
Who said that? How did they see us there?
Of course, people would notice...
this good-looking man wherever he goes.
What a nuisance.
That's right. Ms. Kang and I went to a hotel together.
But you got the genre wrong.
It was just for some lame get-together.
With Ms. Kang's friends.
But you wouldn't go with her just because she asked you.
I've decided to listen to Grandma.
I'll date her.
Are you serious about dating Ms. Kang?
To marry her?
Come on. Why are you already bringing up the marriage talk?
We're just getting to know each other.
I'm interested. That's a fact.
I see.
What's with you?
Did you call me here to ask me this?
You see, I'm a busy man too.
I have to go.
Here you are.
I didn't get the meeting materials, so I was looking for you.
Watch how you behave yourself.
What?
I heard rumors that the son of the master I serve...
had been going in and out of hotels with his boss.
So?
I took care of the rumors,
but I was wondering what it was about.
You were so careful while dating me for three years,
but you let rumors spread in a few days with Gu Dan Soo?
So what if there were rumors like that?
What is it that you want to say?
Good luck.
What?
Good luck with him.
Do you really mean that?
Yes, I mean it.
But...
I hope I don't hear such vulgar rumors again.
I hope there won't be any rumors...
that could cause harm to my master's family.
You'll act like that family's slave until the end?
This was why I never wanted to marry you.
Because of your inferiority complex.
I was dumped because I acted like a slave.
Shouldn't I hold onto that, at least?
So...
I guess you were away.
Oh, yes. Well...
Something came up.
Well, I had something that needed altering.
I was waiting for you.
By the way,
your complexion...
Did something bad happen?
There is...
someone I shouldn't think about anymore.
When I think about him, I miss him.
I want to run to him right now and hug him.
Oh, no.
My goodness. What's wrong?
Hang on. Are you all right?
- What... - Gyeong Tae.
(My Merry Marriage)
Did something happen?
I had a hard day. I missed you.
Why did you get this kind of card?
A new life is blossoming.
What?
Which family is your future daughter-in-law from?
The daughter of the Dodo Group family.
Dodo...
Dodo Group?
- You... - Goodbye, then.
Stay by my side.
Mr. Seo...
