(Episode 26)
Who were you calling to hang up in a hurry?
Oh, it's a spam call.
I got a call from the same number twice, so I picked up just in case.
It turns out it's a chauffeur service advertisement.
What?
Did he just hang up on me?
Unbelievable.
The number you have dialed is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
I'm in the park in front of your house.
Come out as soon as you see this as I have something to say.
The number you have dialed is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
What's wrong with you?
What's this?
She wants you to come to the park in front of our house?
Her number isn't even saved.
Who is she?
Who is she to come to our house?
Well, she's...
Aren't you going to tell me?
Do you really want to see me go crazy?
Are you really...
I... Goodness me.
She's Bo Ra's biological mother.
Who?
You're in contact with her, let alone your daughter?
Are you having a family reunion to celebrate you coming to Korea?
What do you mean by a family reunion?
She knows I'm seeing Bo Ra, so she called me out of rage.
Do you expect me to believe that?
Why would I call her?
You know that she got knocked up with Bo Ra accidentally.
I can't say we were even married.
I knew this would be a problem if we come back to Korea!
If it weren't for Mom's favor, I would've stayed in the States.
I told you it's not what you think.
Why would you accuse an innocent person?
I don't want to hear any of it!
To me, arguing with you about these things is stressful.
This is so annoying!
Seriously!
Why are you so late? I couldn't reach you either.
Did you make a delivery?
To be honest,
I met Bo Ra outside and talked.
Bo Ra...
knew everything.
About what?
You're not saying...
Yes. She knew that we got divorced...
because her biological dad had an affair.
She heard the grown-ups talking when she was little.
So she had a rough idea of why.
Bo Ra must've had went through a lot too.
But she'd keep seeing her dad even after knowing all that.
Did Bo Ra say that?
You must've been very upset.
We really can't have it our ways with kids, can we?
Mr. Kang Dae Ro? It's Shin Ah Ri.
Ms. Shin, what's up at this time?
I was wondering how it went.
Have you tried persuading Ms. Han?
I'm sorry, but I don't think she'd ever go on the show.
She's very firm on that.
I understand for now.
The day after tomorrow, we'll shoot the content that will be included...
in the introduction clip of the cast at your factory early...
then shoot the pop-up restaurant. Would that be okay?
Sure. I don't think we'd have any problems.
Then I'll see you on the day of the shooting.
How dare you come here?
I don't want to see your face ever.
Get out of my sight right now.
Mr. Shin
it's a misunderstanding. Nothing is going on between us.
It's true, honey. It's a misunderstanding.
What? A misunderstanding?
I should have known when you've been going back...
and forth out of his shop saying he's a friend from hometown.
If nothing is going on between you two,
how could you give him the house I've worked so hard to buy?
It's all my fault.
I asked Nan Young to stand surety for me to feed my son.
Shut your mouth!
I don't want to hear any of your excuses, so get lost.
Oh, dear.
Oh, my gosh. You frightened me!
What?
What are you doing here?
This is my house, so it's none of your business.
What's that?
It looks like it's the wild ginseng I gave you inside that jar.
It is the wild ginseng you gave me.
I made liquor out of it to drink whenever I can't sleep.
My goodness, you made what out of that precious thing?
This is why I didn't see you eat it lately.
You threw it into alcohol?
Whether I chew on it or throw it in, it's still wild ginseng.
What would you say? Would you like a glass?
Here you go.
Wow. Look at you having a shot.
You look like you'd drink like a fish.
This is so good.
When I was young,
I'd drink bottles of liquor on the spot.
I mean I saw someone who did.
Why can't you sleep when you live in a palace like this?
In my dream,
my late wife appeared...
and kept nagging me for not seeing my daughter.
She'd never stop talking to me when she was alive too.
What an unfortunate soul she is.
She can't rest in peace because she met a fool like you.
What nonsense are you saying after drinking this precious liquor?
Don't be that way and reconcile with your daughter.
Why are you so stubborn when you don't have much time left?
Don't you dare say that when you don't know jack!
Gosh, you stick your nose into everything you see.
My gosh, you startled me.
Why would you yell at me?
Who are you to yell at me?
I almost turned deaf.
That temper of yours.
Why are you so late? Did you have a lot of work?
Weren't you in bed?
I wanted to go to bed after seeing you, so I waited.
Did you have something to tell me?
Jun Soo.
Weren't you over your anxiety disorder?
Where did you hear that from?
I heard you went to your dad's company...
and had an anxiety attack there.
How did you know about that?
Hae Shim told me.
I was so startled that I thought I'd have a heart attack.
Are you stressed out by work these days?
Mom, I'm a little tired. I'd like to rest.
Sure. You do that.
Hey, Bo Ra. Come and have your breakfast.
Did you come home late last night?
Yes. Were you worried about me? I'm sorry.
I heard you talked to your mom outside.
Yes.
If you want to keep meeting with your real dad,
I won't stop you.
Dad.
You're an adult. You must have put a lot of thought into your decision.
Besides,
no matter how hard I try,
there will be a role that only your real dad can fill.
It's not like that.
Honestly,
I don't think I completely understand your thoughts.
But after Ah Ri's biological mom died,
I had a lot of thoughts as well.
But Bo Ra,
no matter what choice you make,
I wish you and your mother don't grow apart.
My daughter Bo Ra, you're smart, so I know you'll figure it out.
I trust you.
Thank you, Dad.
Eat up. You'll be late for work.
Okay.
Your daughter, Bo Ra.
When are you seeing her again?
Oh, she's the host for "Marketaurant,"
so we're going to celebrate over dinner soon.
What?
Don't do that.
Don't meet her outside. Invite her home.
Home?
I made a mistake when you were seeing Bo Ra last time.
I want to apologize for the misunderstanding and say hi.
Let's invite her.
Will you be all right?
Of course.
If she's your daughter,
she's my daughter as well.
It's her real dad's house. She should visit sooner or later.
Okay. I'll ask her.
Don't ask her.
Just tell her to come.
And from now on,
don't keep your meeting with her secret.
I won't bother you about it.
Okay.
I'm going to work.
Oh, I feel sick.
I can't eat it anymore.
Make us breakfast again starting tomorrow.
What? You want me to make breakfast again?
I was wondering how long you'd last.
For breakfast,
I only ate pieces of bread and some greens,
so I didn't have any energy all day long.
Koreans get their energy from rice!
What about Jun Soo? Did he go to work?
Yes.
And it's no time for you to be asking for rice.
What do you mean?
Jun Soo passed out in the elevator of your company building...
and Ah Ri helped him.
He was okay for a while.
Jun Soo's anxiety must be back.
What?
The reason he left the meeting early was because of his anxiety?
I thought he got better after he went to study in the US.
So did I. This is all your fault.
You told people that ice cream had paraffin on television,
so the ice cream shop's CEO held a grudge against you...
and kidnapped Jun Soo and locked him in a shed.
Just the thought of it...
Why bring up the past?
It's not in the past!
That's the reason Jun Soo had to go study in the US all of a sudden.
The trauma gave him an anxiety disorder.
He's still suffering from it.
Was your back always this straight?
It's been forever since I had my back fixed.
Why do you ask?
You fixed your bent back and now it's straight?
Oh, my word. How did you fix it?
I went to the hills and got all the herbs...
that people said were good for your back.
The air and water were nice and clean in the hills,
so the herbs were very effective.
Oh, really?
What herbs did you take...
for your back that was bent like a shrimp...
to become straight like a bamboo tree?
It's like you're a different person.
Are you drunk over cold water?
You look like a pumpkin.
Get to work!
There's a meeting for "Marketaurant" at Na Production this afternoon.
Okay.
What about Chef Emma Cho? When is she coming from the US?
She's arriving this afternoon. She'll start work tomorrow.
Okay.
Yes?
Oh, Bo Ra.
Jun Soo.
What brings you here?
Sit down.
Is something up?
Nothing's up.
I came by because I was worried and I have something to give you,
so I dropped by.
What is it?
Here.
It's a diffuser humidifier.
I heard aromatherapy is good for calming your nerves.
It's chamomile, lavender, and sandalwood scented.
Keep it in your room.
You shouldn't have.
You ran to the hospital when I was burned.
That was to care for my company's advertisement model.
Well, this is my first hosting gig,
so I'm worried my guest will be a no-show.
Okay.
Thank you.
(Director Kim Won Tae)
This is Bo Ra.
Oh, Bo Ra.
I was waiting for your call.
I'm sorry. I've been busy.
You said you want to have dinner. What day will work for you?
Oh, you know,
my wife wants to invite you over to our house. Is that okay?
What? Your house?
She said that last time when she met you at the restaurant,
she made a mistake,
so she wanted to apologize and make up with dinner.
What do you think?
Oh, well...
Okay.
When?
What about the day after tomorrow?
Okay. Text me the address.
Okay. See you then.
(Seoul, Yongan...)
It's me, Kim Won Tae.
You ignored all my calls and texts.
What do you want?
If you come to someone's house in the middle of the night...
and tell them to come out, what am I supposed to do?
Do you know how difficult it was with my wife?
Difficult?
You show up out of nowhere after 18 years,
and play dad with Bo Ra, and became my husband's boss.
You're the one who made things difficult.
I didn't know your husband would be working for me.
Fine.
Let's say that's a coincidence.
What right do you think you have as a dad to see your daughter now?
What right does a dad need to see his own daughter?
No matter what, she's my daughter, and I'm her dad.
It's an unchanging fact.
You really have no shame, do you?
Don't you remember what you said when you went to study abroad...
and fell in love with another woman, so you wanted a divorce?
You said you wouldn't see Bo Ra ever again.
You told me to raise her on my own.
Look. Your memory must be distorted.
Shut it!
How can you seek to see Bo Ra after saying that?
While deceiving my husband, Joong Han?
Your paranoia is still the same.
Stop here.
If you don't, I...
Are you threatening me?
I just can't talk to you.
It's going to be hard to get Ms. Han on television.
Dae Ro says she's absolutely set.
You know how she is.
Her character is perfect for television.
How did Mr. Kang convince her to come on his show?
He tried to persuade her,
but she said she'd never come on our program.
If you want, you can go and try to get her on board.
Ms. Shin, what are you saying?
I told you, no matter who does it, we need to get her on the show.
These are the plans for tomorrow's filming.
You sent the letter of cooperation to Plus Market, right?
There's nothing wrong with filming?
Yes.
The sales department head at Plus Market is my dad.
So don't worry.
Really?
The director's my uncle.
Your uncle?
Oh, Jun Soo.
Are you here for the meeting?
Yes, I am.
I'm relieved you decided to come on the show again.
With business, you can't only do what you want to.
That's right.
Running a business isn't easy.
Anyway, you thought well.
I think you're a good character for television.
Let's go in.
Okay.
Everyone, CEO Na Jun Soo is here.
Hello, I'm Na Jun Soo. It's nice to meet you.
Thank you for agreeing to come on our program.
Welcome.
Then go ahead with your meeting.
Good luck!
- Have a seat. - Sure.
Have you chosen the menu for the battle?
Yes. I have two menus in mind.
A chef is coming from the States today.
So I'll make the final decision once he gets here.
My gosh. Did you scout a chef from the US for "Marketaurant"?
He was scouted before that and was going to come.
But it coincided with the schedule for "Marketaurant."
Oh, my. This must be fate. You were meant to be on the show.
Will I get the script in advance?
We will write a script,
but as you're such an expert in cooking,
I'm going to consult you a lot as I write it.
I see. I can do that.
Also, you graduated from med school, which is a unique background.
Which is why I wondered...
How do you feel about providing professional information...
on the medicinal effects of the ingredients for the dish?
Professional information on the effects of the ingredients?
What will be the capacity of the audience?
One that a child in elementary school can understand would be good.
I'm a bit thirsty. Is there anything to drink?
Sure.
Help yourself to a drink.
We got cheesecakes too.
CEO Na can't eat cheesecake. He's allergic.
Oh, right.
A drink will do.
Thank you for today. I'll see you in the shooting.
Yes, great job.
I'll be going now.
We'll be working on the same show.
Are you going to carry on and be so edgy?
Why would you act knowingly about me...
when there are people around?
I won't do that again.
So don't be so cold to me.
Haven't you seen my camera...
when you moved from your home in America?
It's important to me.
You should've taken it with you if it's so important.
If you are keeping anything from your old house,
can you check it once?
Do this for me.
(Daechan Brothers' Wonky Box Lunch)
This doesn't happen every day.
It's Daechan Brothers' Wonky Box Lunch.
The box lunch that went viral on social media is now in Plus Market!
- Wonky Box Lunch is here! - It's here.
Grandma, Sister, Aunt, and Uncle.
If it's not tasty, we guarantee you a full refund.
Full refund. How many would you like?
- Is it tasty? - Of course, it is.
Here!
She's taking three.
- Three. - Three lunch boxes.
That's 20 dollars.
Here are your four dollars.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Have a good day.
- Thank you so much! - Thank you.
How many would you like?
Can I have 2 boxes of each?
Two of each, so four!
How could young people such as you speak so well?
We're good cooks as well.
Try this and come again tomorrow, miss.
What? Miss?
How nice of you.
Give me ten boxes.
Ten boxes? All right.
We don't have many boxes left.
If you hurry up, that'll be nice for us.
- Thank you! - Thank you so much!
We sold everything.
You're getting a better response than we expected.
It's been sold out too soon.
I know.
We didn't imagine it'd sell so well.
Since it got sold out on your first day,
I'd like to treat you to dinner. What do you say?
To dinner?
We'd appreciate it.
We live in the same neighborhood.
How about the popular barbecue place at the intersection in our town?
Sure.
We'd love that.
- See you later. - Yes, sir.
We're going to have a barbecue.
You're so good together. You were like bread and butter.
We know what the other's thinking at a glance.
Please speak casually to us.
Would that be okay?
You're like real brothers.
Where did you first meet?
We grew up together at an orphanage.
At an orphanage?
You guys are more incredible than I thought.
The future of Korea is very bright.
Why don't we toast to that?
He's not a good drinker.
You just do the cheers.
I'm not a kid. I should drink on a day like this.
I won't get drunk on a happy day like this.
Right. Let's toast.
Cheers.
After my father passed away early on,
I've done all sorts of things from a young age.
I would work during the day and study at night.
I graduated from night university.
I started by working at supermarkets...
and got to where I am today.
I've worked like a workaholic.
Director Shin. I admire you.
But when I see Daechan Brothers,
I can see that you have a bright future.
I could meet you guys thanks to Bo Ra.
And it makes me so happy.
Bo Ra told me so many great things about you.
Bo Ra...
talked good things about us?
Bo Ra's mom was worried...
when she heard young guys are renting at my father-in-law's.
My father-in-law is a picky man.
But after Bo Ra met you,
she told me you have good character and are good guys.
She told me not to worry.
She has an eye for men.
Dae Ro is a great guy.
I love you, man.
What? Chan Sung?
Hey.
He can only take one glass of soju.
It's all right.
- Here. Why don't we toast? - Okay.
We're almost there. Wake up.
Is that you, Dae Ro?
Goodness.
What happened to him?
How much has he been drinking?
He only had one glass.
Goodness me.
This is the director of Plus Market.
It's good to meet you.
Hello, ma'am.
I am Director Shin Joong Han of Plus Market.
(No Matter What)
- Sun Han. - Ah Ri, this is Director Kim.
Your biological dad...
- is Producer Um's uncle. - What?
Aren't those your things from the States?
I need to find something.
She's been watching him carefully.
You think they can get married after "Marketaurant"?
How is your memory these days?
Why are you holding that sketchbook?
We just did a consonant quiz.
