(Episode 23)
My thumb hurts.
Ta-da! To celebrate you getting a job and us getting together,
I'll be at your service.
You're so awesome for working so hard.
You're amazing!
"Mrs. Trot" just for you starts now.
Thumbs up
You're sweet and nice
The more I see you
The more I get to know you
You're so full of charms
- Thumbs up - Hey!
We're made for each other
The more I see you, the more I love you
The more I get to know you, the more I love you
Thumbs up
Be quiet!
Ordinary, comfortable, and thoughtful man
What about dinner? Did you have that fried rice?
Yes.
Mom, we can't go on the field trip, can we?
Our teacher asked us again.
Oh, the thing is...
It looks so good.
Have a look at this.
I used every scrap of money to buy these pig's trotters.
Isn't it delicious?
Here. Have some soup.
All right.
There you go.
This is what I'm talking about.
You should treat your husband well when he's back home from work.
Bok Hee only ran wild like a bull,
so she did none of this.
Honey, you look so cool.
I think I have a thing for a suit.
I knew you were good looking but not this good.
Men should go to work in a suit.
That's why you came back after you ran off with my money.
I'm just saying it suits you. Why would you mention that again?
You talk like I came back because you became successful.
Also, don't say I ran off with your money!
It's like I went on a business trip for a while.
Honestly, I came back because I missed you.
But I never expected you to accept me again.
I realized again that you're a great man...
who is generous enough to embrace his woman's serious fault.
A great man?
Yes. I'm so touched by you.
Honey, I think we're in true love.
Honey, by the way, where do you work now?
Oh, at a major company.
Major company? Which one?
Well, I embraced your fault with my true love,
but my trust for you hasn't recovered yet.
So all I can say is that I'm working for a major company for now.
Yes, Director! Pardon?
Right now? I got it. Yes, ma'am.
Director?
Honey, I have to go to work.
See you.
Okay.
A director and a major company?
What is it?
Chauffeur Ki will bring the must-read books...
that Ms. Kang recommended to you later.
You don't have to read all of them thoroughly,
but she said you must skim through ten pages from the front and back,
so you'd look like you read them when others ask you about them.
If I do as she says, I can do better than Eun Ha, right?
Of course.
Mom, Hyun Joon told her he wouldn't team up with her.
Everyone said they wouldn't
What did I tell you?
Do you think other moms would make their kids team up with her?
They won't be able to stand their time here in the end,
so you just watch.
They'll have to leave like they're being kicked out.
Watch and learn how miserable people become...
when they live out of their league.
Madame Hanam. Don't come in from tomorrow.
Pardon?
I can't help it since you stopped me...
from firing Bok Hee, saying she saved our lives.
It's your fault for slacking off, busy with caring for your son.
That's why that kind of person crept in here.
Did you fire Madame Hanam?
Yes.
She's doing a part-time job as she has time to waste.
She can handle it alone.
She'll take care of everything all alone from now.
I couldn't even go shopping before the field trip.
My friend is going shopping at a duty-free store today.
Then I'll get Ms. Song to get clothes and bags you need...
Actually, I'll go to the department store tomorrow.
- Really? Do you have spare time? - Yes.
So you guys have a field trip soon?
Yes. Oh, thanks for your help with my homework last time,
I got complimented during class.
Thank you.
I'm glad. Don't you need tutoring for today's homework?
I can search on the web for today's.
But where are you going for the field trip?
Haven't you finished your homework?
You should go to bed now.
What are you doing?
You must be excited.
When I was young,
I felt so excited before going on a field trip.
Do kids these days feel the same?
What's this?
Are you going to send him a message like this?
No.
By the way, can we borrow money from Mr. Jang for the field trip?
What are you saying? We can't.
(Pythagorean theorem)
What's this? Where did you get this?
Mr. Jang gave it to me.
Why would you take such a thing?
I didn't ask him to give it to me.
He said he doesn't need it. Should I have said no then?
I need things like this...
to do my homework since our computer is broken.
You won't even buy me one.
Thank you for taking care of my kids, but...
Yes, hello.
That's right. I'm fired.
So suck up to Mrs. Jo and work for a long, long time!
What?
What is your mom doing?
If your past love is in my situation,
would I want to show I was that past love?
What kind of situation she's in is not important at all though.
Yes, we're going to Singapore, so I'm looking forward to it.
Oh, you're going to Singapore.
Then I want to give you something.
Can you come to the playground for a second?
Eun Ha, I don't think you can go on the trip...
Where did she go?
You're here.
Here you go.
What is this?
It's first-aid medicine,
local SIM card, plug adapter,
and this is a telescope. You can look so far with this.
And...
some dollar bills I had left.
Here.
What are you doing here?
Mom.
I heard the kids are going on a field trip.
Eun Ha, go back in.
Why are you so harsh to her?
Director Jang. Please stop poking your nose in my kids' business.
And stop giving them expensive things.
These aren't expensive though.
Oh, the tablet PC?
I'm not using that. You don't have to feel uncomfortable.
Giving unnecessary things away to them makes me uncomfortable,
and that's the difference between you and me.
I hate everything you give them,
so don't give them anything.
Why do you think only of yourself?
Don't you think you're being a little selfish?
Why did you decide to let your kids attend the private school?
Wasn't it for them to receive better curriculums?
They can't do anything without that these days.
But do you hate everything just because you feel uncomfortable?
Yes.
I hate everything I feel uncomfortable.
I believe nothing is for free.
Don't listen carelessly to what I say...
and don't do things that I tell you not to do.
Will you take care of my kids forever?
You won't.
Take care of the kids forever?
Those brats.
Why are you still not here?
Those brats.
Yes, Director Ko.
Yes. Okay.
Even if it's not forever,
I can get along with them while we live together.
Why would you? Who do you think you are?
Your friend.
Did I say I'd be your friend?
Then, Eun Ha's tutor?
Eun Ha's smart, so if I help her a bit...
If she's smart, she'll find a way herself.
If she becomes a less decent person because there's no smart adult...
to help her, then that's her life.
All you do is stirring up her mind with tutoring and gifts,
but I'm the actual one who should raise and take care of her.
Why are you having it your own way?
Why did you give her such things when you don't know...
if she can go on the field trip or not?
What would she have been thinking on the way out here...
to get something from you when she was depressed...
on the thought of her not going because we have no money?
When I have to save up for a deposit and move out immediately,
I put my kids in a school that I can't afford.
And now I realize what I've done to them and regret it.
I just felt bad for them as the school was too far.
I was tempted when I heard...
she wanted to study in a better school.
They could leave home a bit earlier to get to school on time before.
But now, there's nothing we can do...
with all the money needed for the school.
I regret what I've done to them.
I should have just let them suffer...
their bodies, not their hearts.
Poor people...
feel even poorer when they're surrounded by the rich.
You might think the poor would get something for free...
if they stick around the rich.
But they end up spending much more money than before...
and realize how seriously poor they are...
and the fact they don't belong to the same league.
That's all they're left with.
Do you understand?
Having a friend is too extravagant to me,
so don't even say anything...
about friends like young people these days.
And stop bothering me here and there.
It's all irritating.
I will not...
owe you even a single penny,
so don't give them anything or appear in front of them.
Okay?
Welcome back.
You must be busy.
What is it when a man and a woman are in a dark place...
at this late hour, talking about taking care of the children forever?
I think one is hitting on the other.
Seriously.
Is she in her right mind?
How can she do that and not look after the kids?
Is it your ex-wife?
Is she flirting with a man?
Oh, my goodness!
She's so sly.
Where did you see her?
I saw her when I went to the director.
What on earth was she doing...
at the workplace where her ex-husband is also working?
Wait.
What is that about?
Are you working in the same place as your ex-wife?
What?
That is...
Are you out of your mind?
Geez.
You crazy fool!
Poor people...
feel even poorer when they're surrounded by the rich.
They realize how seriously poor they are...
and the fact they don't belong to the same league.
That's all they're left with.
What is that?
Is she saying I'm in a different league?
She doesn't even know how I feel.
What do you think? Isn't it about time that you gave up?
(I met my first love. I was the only one who aged.)
(If I had taken care of my health...)
It won't be that bad to see how long you'd last.
Bring it on.
Fine.
I'll go for it.
Wait.
What is this?
So don't give them anything or appear in front of them.
Okay?
Now that I said such things to him,
I must not run into him there.
This is where I register for the contest, right?
Yes.
Here you are.
All of that?
One person can register more than one. I've checked it.
Excuse me.
Which floor should I go to meet with Director Ko Sang Ah?
Pardon?
Does the chairman also work in this building?
What can I do for you?
No. It's okay.
I'm sorry.
Goodness. You must be a writer.
It's not a full-time job, but just a new challenge.
But who is taking this? Can I take it myself?
We will pass it on. Don't worry about this.
I'm here for the planning team.
Wait just for a moment.
(Contest)
- Which floor do I go to? - Please wait.
Has anyone submitted drafts for the slogan contest?
The contest? Just one moment.
- Here are the drop-off receptions. - Yes.
Can you check this out?
There's only a few.
I heard Director Ko is not in today either, right?
Is Director Ko trying to be reckless?
Yes.
Shim Kyung Ja does seem fishy.
How so?
She was loitering around the company all morning.
What?
She might be up to something knowing that you work at Shinsang Group.
She even stopped by the information desk.
I think it was a good idea to trail her these few days.
Tell her I want to meet up with her.
You've been trailing me, haven't you?
I needed to know who I should deal with.
Director Ko Sang Ah.
So...
have you done sizing me up?
Roughly, yes.
To bargain, you need to show your cards to set the price.
Jeong Young Suk.
What if I had the list of mothers from back in the days...
that Director Jeong asked me to discard?
Is this for definite?
That's all I can say.
I'm just not ready yet.
I know that you're in a hurry.
Do you think you're the only one who was after me?
I looked into it too.
I can't open the cards just because I'm in a rush.
Who knows what I'll earn by handing them to the right person?
Please. Five thousand dollars.
Find out if there's a way to transfer the land...
that I purchased in Yeongcheon as the site of Plant Two in my name.
Yes, ma'am.
Are we moving up the schedule?
Depending on what she has to say,
I'll decide whether I will go ahead with it or not.
Keep a grip on the company that we import raw materials from.
Yes.
I can't open the cards just because I'm in a rush.
Who knows what I'll earn by handing them to the right person?
(Secretary Cha)
Hello.
What did you say?
All right.
Lawyer Kim, where are you now?
I have something to say regarding the birth of your child.
Please come to the cafe near Mind Hospital if you'd like to know.
It seems Shim Kyung Ja tried to get in touch with Dad.
Never let him meet that woman.
Get there before him and stop him at all costs.
The number you have dialed is not available. Please leave a message...
You made the right choice.
I know the statute of limitations on the UA pyramid scheme is not over.
I'm surprised.
If you dare to set foot...
back on this country without my permission,
you'll rot in jail for ten years.
Well...
I was packing my things to go overseas anyway...
without you driving me out like this.
Then...
we won't be seeing again, right?
Don't worry about it.
This is all I have.
Then I'll be off.
(Hangroo Maternity Clinic Mothers List)
Find out where the mothers...
and wives on this list are now and what they do.
I will.
(New business slogan contest is closed.)
When exactly does "to be announced later" mean?
If it's notified individually...
Hello?
Who is this?
The field trip is in a few days.
I can have them on board if you wire the money by tomorrow.
I see.
I got it.
I have something to say regarding the birth of your child.
Please come to the cafe near Mind Hospital if you'd like to know.
What could it have been?
Secretary Cha.
Can you find out the owner of a phone number for me?
Okay.
I almost forgot.
If you can get the video footage of the surveillance camera...
in the cafe that I just visited,
see to it if you can get today's recordings.
All right.
(My Wonderful Life)
What brings you here?
Are you trying to get back with him? Have you no self-respect?
You arranged things behind my back. Do you want to play a game with me?
Mom. About the field trip...
Quit bringing that up.
Okay. We don't have to go.
What would you do if you find out that your children are not yours?
Pardon?
