(Episode 21)
Why are you so surprised?
Do you, by any chance, know my dad?
No.
Anyway, I didn't know you were Byeo Ri's sister.
What a coincidence.
But your surname is Kang, but your dad goes by Han.
Actually,
he's my stepdad.
But he was the one and only father to me.
I don't even know who my biological dad is.
But...
he also passed away.
He went missing a long time ago.
Did the old lady say anything to you by any chance?
About what?
Your dad and the old lady might have known each other.
Han Eok Shim and Han Jae Soo
I just came back from the orphanage I used to stay.
And the master told me my aunt came...
and she told her my address.
What?
Then she could be your aunt.
But why didn't she tell me from the start?
I'm not sure.
I think you'd better ask her first.
Yes, I was going to.
Also, please try to convince her again to go on the show with you.
The producer in charge of the show really wants to cast her.
I don't think it'd be easy.
But I'll ask her once more.
Okay.
Goodness.
I'm back.
Welcome back.
This is a truly soft-boiled egg.
How many are you having? Why are you stuffing yourself?
What?
Do you have a hollow leg or what?
Ma'am.
Could I talk to you for a second?
About what?
- Ms. Han. - Yes?
I heard your whole family is dead.
What?
What are you talking about?
My family's dead?
Who said such nonsense?
Ms. Shin heard it from the town chief of Yanseo-ri.
Gosh, that persistent girl.
The whole town can't know your family.
It's all a lie.
It's a lie?
Yes.
Then are you possibly my aunt?
What?
Where in the world did you get that idea from?
Aren't you an older sister of Mr. Han Jae Soo?
- Don't you know Mr. Han? - I don't know him at all!
Why do you keep saying nonsense after talking to that girl?
I have no time for this.
Are you really not my aunt?
Get a grip. If I'm your aunt, why would I keep it from you?
You're really not my aunt, right?
Stop asking me about it. That's enough!
I asked Mr. Kang Dae Ro...
to try to convince Ms. Han again to come on the show.
But it doesn't seem easy.
That old lady is so weird.
Why would she not go on a show when she goes on YouTube?
Well, I'm not sure.
Anyhow, something annoying happened.
CEO Na Seung Jin leaked our plan to Mr. Cho.
How did CEO Na find out?
I think I accidentally printed one more copy.
But that clueless Eun Bi handed that over to him.
So what did he say?
He thinks it's a plan that would be launched by his company.
He's fussing over how he'll cast CEO Na Jun Soo.
It looks like he'll jump on the bandwagon.
So what did you say to him?
If I say it's not for him, would he allow his son to be on it?
Since this happened, we'd have to do the pilot here.
What the heck?
But I've been wondering.
Why do you obsess over CEO Na Jun Soo so much?
What? Obsess? Me? Get out of here.
Mrs. Lee, I'm home!
Hey, you're here.
Yes.
This is for you.
A man advertising a workbook gave it to me.
I brought it to give it to you.
Did you? How thoughtful of you. Thank you.
Then I'll go up and do my homework.
All right.
I'm home.
Bo Ra!
- Did you have fun at school? - Yes.
I need to talk to you. Sit down.
What is it? Did something happen?
Don't get startled.
Your biological dad came back to Korea.
What?
When? How did you find out? Did he call you?
I thought you don't keep in touch with him.
He moved next door to Geum Sook.
Director Kim Won Tae of Plus Market...
is your dad.
What did you say?
The director...
That's why he kept asking to meet me.
What?
Then he works at the same company as Dad?
Does Dad know about this?
He doesn't. I couldn't tell him yet.
If he finds out, he'd feel so uncomfortable and awkward.
I guess so.
To be honest, I don't want you to see your real dad.
For 20 years, he turned a blind eye until now.
Why now?
You got remarried, and he also got married in the US.
Both of you have a new family,
so it wouldn't have been easy to come to see me.
No.
- That's not it... - I want to see him.
Should we meet at least once while we're still alive?
I don't resent you two for the divorce...
since you would've had a good reason.
But banning me from seeing him is...
I don't want you to meet him.
We've lived as strangers, but if you see him now,
wouldn't that cause a lot of inconvenience for us?
Do I have to refrain from meeting him because of others?
Mom.
I think I'd regret it for the rest of my life if I don't see him.
The director was my dad.
Bo Ra!
Hey, don't you know how to knock?
Sorry.
I was surprised by this.
The woman in the diver suit. Is this you?
Did you really catch an octopus and abalones from the sea?
I'll leave it to your imagination. Enjoy watching it.
The Wonky Box Lunch will open a pop-up restaurant...
for five days next week.
I think we can see the reaction of customers...
and decide whether to proceed further.
All right.
Is this the menu?
Wow, this is a totally healthy meal.
Don't Koreans like well-being food?
It'd perfectly fit their needs.
It's a trend these days, so I think it'll receive good reviews.
Right.
You should carry forward with it.
You should watch your forehead. Come on, come closer!
- I'm dying! - Are you all right?
Hey.
Are you watching that channel again?
It's hilarious.
You must cast this old lady.
Oh, right. Come and sit down.
Well, I handed the plan to Mr. Cho,
and apparently, CEO Na Seung Jin has brought a similar script.
Oh, that.
I got busted by him.
He's in full belief that his company is producing it.
Then what do we do?
Would you like to quit right now and come work for DBS?
Should I get you a place for you?
I can't.
If I run out of Na Production now,
what if I blew casting Na Jun Soo? I barely got him on the show.
You could cast someone else then.
I can't. It has to be Jun Soo.
Are you...
interested in Na Jun Soo?
I guess if he graduated from med school...
Come to think of it, you guys are from the same school.
Did you guys know each other?
Well, I saw him a few times.
Goodness me, look at you.
You should've told me earlier.
There are many chances to get closer while working on a program together.
Oh, you.
Anyway, let's create the pilot at Na Production,
and depending on the results, DBS will make it a regular.
You always are fast when it comes to these things.
Of course. Nobody is as fast as I am.
Also, when we invite the neighbors over,
I should tell them to bring over Jun Soo as well.
Na Jun Soo as well?
It'll be nice to say hello while our families are dining together.
I see.
Oh, it's the woman next door.
She wants Jun Soo to come to dinner as well.
Why is she inviting him as well?
It would be nice if he could come if he has the time.
Oh, my.
I wonder if they're trying to hook their niece up with Jun Soo.
With Producer Um?
Well, their family is good enough for Jun Soo.
Producer Um has a feisty side, but she's good at her job.
Stop your nonsense!
It's hard enough living next door to Kim Won Tae.
Do you want to become in-laws?
What is he, your husband?
Did he betray you?
It's Hae Shim, not just anyone else.
What's with you?
Ever since you heard the neighbors are loaded, you've become servile.
What? Servile? Did you say servile?
How could you say that?
Are you arguing again?
We're not arguing.
Are you free the day after tomorrow?
The neighbors invited you to dinner. If you're busy, don't mind it.
No, thank you. You can go without me.
Still, they invited...
Hello? Mr. Kang?
Did you ask Ms. Han Eok Shim?
I did. But she said she's not my aunt.
Is that so? Well, there's nothing more we can do.
Oh, we have a meeting for "Marketaurant" in two days.
I'll send you the time and place as soon as I have them.
Bring the menu concepts when you come.
Okay.
How long does she think she can hide it?
- Ah Ri, you're back. - Hey.
It's so much fun.
It's already my second time reading it.
Is it?
Byeo Ri,
when did you first meet Mr. Kang Dae Ro?
Uncle Dae Ro?
When my mom and I started living in the sauna.
Really?
You hadn't met him before?
Not before that.
Did your mom tell you anything about Dae Ro?
Mom?
She said his dad and her were from the same town.
Dae Ro doesn't seem to know Byeo Ri is his dad's daughter.
I guess Mom couldn't bring herself to tell him.
You haven't forgotten the parent teacher meeting tomorrow, right?
Oh, right. That's tomorrow.
What do I wear?
I don't have a suit.
There's an abalone for each of us. Eat up.
You don't have one, Dad.
- Take mine. - No, it's okay. I'm good.
You guys eat up.
Why are you picking at your food?
Go ahead, eat.
I had some water earlier, so I'm not hungry.
Oh, can we use your supermarket as our program's location?
We're producing "Marketaurant", the new program I planned.
Oh, are you?
I'll ask the director, then.
Bo Ra.
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
I am. Thank you.
Bo Ra, you're seeing the director tomorrow, right?
He was really excited to finally meet you.
He's a huge fan.
Hey, can I borrow your clothes?
Hey, when you took my clothes last time,
they were torn to rags. And you want to borrow more?
I'm meeting Byeo Ri's teacher tomorrow,
but I have nothing to wear. Byeo Ri told me to dress up.
Take this. It's the most ladylike.
I only wear that to funerals.
Thank you, sister.
Oh, right.
Keep your schedule free for the "Marketaurant" meeting on Wednesday.
But Kang Dae Ro joined as soon as he heard CEO Na was on board.
That's going to be fun to watch.
Dae Ro is out for revenge with Jun Soo.
There was trouble between them over deliveries at Daybreak,
so they fought and Dae Ro quit.
They hate each other.
Of course,
their feelings for me are involved in that as well.
We could say it's a silent rivalry.
Hilarious.
What?
Nothing.
Tell CEO Na the time and place for the meeting, would you?
I don't feel comfortable talking to him.
Just this once.
You call him next time. You're not my boss.
How did you convince him?
I have my ways.
I know his weaknesses.
What are they?
None of your business.
Hey.
You said you'd do anything I said.
They say soaking your feet is good for stomach cramps.
Go get a large towel and fill a washbowl with some warm water.
You're doing it here?
You should do it in the shower.
I want to ask you something.
Before your real mom died,
you called her and met with her, right?
Why are you bringing that up?
Just answer me.
How did you feel then?
I was angry at how miserable her life was.
That couldn't be the life she left for.
Of course.
Even if they're separated, it's better if they have good lives.
Why did you bring that up out of nowhere?
Did you hear from your real dad?
Stop asking.
The water's cold. Refill it.
I'm going to pour it on your face.
Is this new?
- It's a designer brand. - Yes.
What are you wearing cuffs for?
You said you're having a company dinner.
It's not a fashion show.
I'm going to work.
Look at that.
He's definitely going to see Kim Bo Ra.
Oh, my.
These eggs are perfectly soft-boiled.
Eat up.
Oh, my.
Dae Ro doesn't like soft-boiled.
No, it's okay.
I can have soft-boiled eggs in soy sauce. They're not smelly.
How do you know what Dae Ro likes so well?
I have a high IQ.
Well.
Have you decided to squat here?
You even have mail.
- Who's Jung Byeo Ri? - Give it here.
My goodness, Byeo Ri sent me a letter.
Even the envelope is pretty.
Eat up, sir.
It's not like your husband sent home a letter from war. Why the fuss?
Who is Byeo Ri?
Is she your granddaughter?
She's not my granddaughter.
What nonsense.
Geez.
She's such a weird lady.
Dae Ro. Isn't Byeo Ri the snack bar lady's daughter?
She is.
She said she met Byeo Ri by coincidence.
My goodness.
Oh, look at those flowers.
They smell wonderful.
A butterfly would come sit on them.
Look how neat her writing is.
Han Seok Bong would stand no chance.
Hello, Grandma.
It's me, Byeo Ri.
When I first saw you,
I felt comfortable as I'd have met my mom.
As though I'd known you for a long time.
If I hadn't met you the day I ran away,
I would have been in the orphanage by now.
I met my new family because you sent me back to my sister.
This is all thanks to you.
Postscript.
If you miss me, come to school on Wednesday when we finish early.
Ms. Han, it's me.
Yes.
What did Byeo Ri write?
I told you last time.
Let's keep our distance.
It's personal.
Ms. Han, please spill it out.
All right.
I'll tell you everything.
I'll spill it all out.
You won't get anything as I have nothing to tell.
Oh, Mom. What perfect timing!
Do I look like a parent?
You don't think the kids will look down on me, do you?
Do I look too young?
It's Bo Ra's, right?
But the skirt is short and not the best choice.
I know, right?
What do I do?
Should I wear yours?
That's it.
Now you look like a parent.
Okay. I'll be on my way.
Right. Good luck.
Ah Ri.
You're wearing Mrs. Lee's dress.
It's so funny.
What do you mean?
It's Class 5-3, right?
I'll meet with your teacher, so go home first.
Okay.
See you later.
Hey.
Who's coming for Byeo Ri today?
The director of the orphanage?
From what she said,
her sister is coming.
Oh, right.
That's how they call the teachers in the orphanage.
Hey. I am really Byeo Ri's sister.
How can you say that?
You shouldn't be putting on makeup already.
For the project work in ethics last time,
all the kids in Byeo Ri's group didn't want to team up with her.
Even some of the moms complained,
so I had to change her group to the class captain's.
She would've been very upset about it.
I had no idea.
She didn't show signs of it at home.
She rarely talks in school,
so it's hard to see what she is feeling.
I see.
She seems to have become quieter since her mom passed away.
You should watch her closely at home,
and she'd need more affection.
Bo Ra.
You know the commercial is a hit, right?
My nephew wants your autograph.
Sure.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Oh, it's Jun Soo.
Hello?
Hey, Bo Ra.
Do you have time today?
I need some advice about the show.
Oh, no. I have an appointment today.
Ms. Shin will be more helpful. I'll tell her to meet you up.
All right.
By the way, does Wednesday work for you?
It's the pre-meeting for "Marketaurant."
Yes.
But how come you're telling me it?
What about the writer?
She asked me to deliver it to you.
Okay. See you at the meeting.
After Bo Ra's commercial,
people I know have been calling me to ask.
They wanted to know if the scandal was real.
That's that.
Did you tell Bo Ra that her biological dad had an affair?
Not yet. How could I say it?
That way she won't see him.
But what will you do when your husband finds it out?
He knows how he had broken your heart,
so he won't want to have him as his boss.
Gosh. He'd want to quit work right away.
That's why it's harder for me to bring it up.
Hello, Ms. Kim Bo Ra.
I am Director Kim Won Tae.
Hello.
I am Kim Bo Ra.
Have a seat.
You're very pretty today.
- Thank you. - You must be hungry.
What would you like to have?
What would be good?
Ms. Kim Bo Ra.
Didn't I tell you to watch out?
Do you want another scandal?
What do you think you're doing?
Did you want to date a young girl that much?
That's a misunderstanding.
How so?
I won't let this slide!
Bo Ra is my daughter!
(No Matter What)
Do the kids bully you by any chance?
The thing is...
Can I work on this show with this writer?
- For goodness' sake. - I'm sorry.
It's the show where your daughter will be on. I should help.
He seems to be a good guy.
You only see the good side of people.
When I see you, I'm reminded of my dad.
How did you get this scar?
