I'm asking why you're here!
I came to see Bo Ra.
What?
Go back this instant.
Did you tell Bo Ra not to see me?
I told her I don't like her meeting you,
but she changed her mind after she came back from your house.
Bo Ra decided on her own.
Is Bo Ra at home?
No, she's not.
She's not home yet, so go back to your house now.
Then I'd have to wait here.
I'm free to wait, so mind your own business.
What?
Joong Han will be home soon, so just leave!
I have no reason to leave just because your husband is coming.
What did you say?
You are just...
so unscrupulous.
Do whatever you want.
(My daughter Bo Ra)
(Mom)
Hey, Mom.
Bo Ra, where are you?
I came to Grandpa's. I'm leaving now.
Your biological dad is waiting for you outside of our home now.
What?
He came to our house?
If you go home now, you'll bump into him.
So stay at Grandpa's for a while.
All right. Then I'll have dinner at Grandpa's and go home.
What is it? Did someone come to your house?
Well,
there is someone I'd like to avoid.
Then have dinner with us. I'll cook you something nice.
I was bothered by Grandpa getting angry anyway.
I'll prepare dinner to blow off his steam.
You will?
What?
I'm a good cook. I just don't do it as much.
Yes! I'm so looking forward to it.
What should I ask you to cook?
Director Kim!
Director Shim.
What brings you here?
You said you have something urgent to do.
Did you have a business in my neighborhood?
Well, I was looking at the neighborhood...
while on my way back home as I used to live here long ago.
So you lived around here before you went to the US.
I lived here quite a while too.
Really? It has changed a lot.
It has.
By the way, it's almost dinnertime, did you have dinner?
No, not yet.
Then, to celebrate you coming here in a long time,
I'd like to treat you to dinner. How about it?
The drinks are on me tonight.
Is that so?
Shall we, then?
All right. Let's go.
Are you preparing dinner tonight?
Yes, your dad is running late. He hasn't even called.
Ah Ri, could you give him a call?
Okay.
Cheers.
It's my eldest daughter.
- It's fine. Take it. - Okay.
Hey, Ah Ri.
Dad, where are you? Are you still at work?
I got off work.
I'm having dinner with the director near our house.
- Director? - Yes.
Please tell your mom that we're at the local seafood place.
All right.
Did he meet the director?
He met him in front of our house. He's having dinner with him now.
Is he?
This is great.
But when did you live in this neighborhood?
Well, I think that's over 20 years ago.
I lived here for a few years when I was a newlywed.
Then you lived here when you were newlyweds with your wife.
I lived here until my daughter turned five.
Then your daughter must be similar in age to my daughters.
Yes, around that age.
Did your daughter come back to Korea with you?
Or is she in the States?
Well, she's in Korea, but we live separately.
So she moved out.
You raised her to be self-reliant.
I should make my daughters move out soon too.
Here. Let me pour you a glass.
- Okay. - Here.
Did you make this on your own?
Goodness, I fell asleep, and you finished making it already.
Bo Ra is so fast and meticulous.
She's a great cook.
I heard your grandma used to be a culinary researcher.
You must've learned it thoroughly.
Of course, if I set my mind to it, I'm really good at cooking.
You said it's a beef bone soup bibimbap,
but all I can see here is bean sprout soup.
Oh, I made the rice with beef bone soup. Try it.
Let's eat up.
Is this a porridge or rice?
It's so mushy that I would need to wear boots.
It's good for your digestion! I like mushy rice.
My goodness, you showered it with oil when you stir-fried it.
I didn't add that much oil.
Have you gone blind already?
This isn't bibimbap. It's mushy rice.
But hasn't it been a month? You promised to move out.
If you have time to ridicule, you should pack up and leave.
Geez! I'm not afraid of moving out!
How nasty and petty are you?
You should hand over all the wild ginseng you had until now!
What?
What's the matter now?
And sir, she'd been looking after you with so much care.
Don't be so grim.
What? Grim?
Are you siding with that old hag?
I'm not siding with anyone.
It's that we couldn't make your meals as we were busy.
And she indeed cooked for you.
Who asked her to do that?
I paid for all the wild ginseng by now, so you should move out.
I'll pay for her rent from now.
Why would you pay for her rent?
That's what I'd like to know. Why would you pay for it?
Well, the thing is...
The "Marketaurant" and pop-up restaurant went well,
so our orders are increasing.
And so, I really need her.
Sir,
you're drinking quite a lot tonight.
Is something bothering you?
I'm not getting along with my wife these days.
Is that so?
When your wife came to our shop last time,
she said you are really sweet to her.
My wife gets so jealous.
She must love you very much.
That's not loving. It's an obsession and keeping watch.
I mean she peeks into my phone behind my back.
I feel like suffocating.
Seriously, it's almost like delusional jealousy.
Goodness, it must be hard for you then.
Right?
Your wife doesn't do that, does she?
My wife unusual, right?
Madam Hae Shim is a saint.
Actually, I didn't see my ex-wife because it ended badly with her.
But she told me to make up with her for my daughter's sake.
What? She said such a thing?
You don't understand her either, right?
How could I make up with a woman who cheated on me...
and abandoned her daughter?
When I first heard that, it made me so mad.
But, Director Shin.
Can't you understand her?
Pardon?
Well...
What parental right does she have when she abandoned her daughter?
What rights do parents need?
Parents are just parents.
That's a bit far-fetched.
What?
Are you lecturing me right now?
That's not what I mean.
Nevermind.
Let's change the subject.
Have another drink.
Where is Dad?
Why are you here by yourself?
Your dad must have run into him on his way back home from work.
They're having dinner and drinking together.
What?
I said no so many times, and he still came all the way here?
Why did he want to see Dad?
I hope he doesn't say anything strange to your dad.
I'm never going to see him again,
so let's just tell Dad the truth.
I feel so nervous and uncomfortable.
Okay. Let's do that.
I was going to tell him when I had the chance anyway.
Oh, right. How is your grandpa?
Don't get me started.
He got furious when I mentioned Dad,
so I had to make him Grandma's beef bone soup bibimbap...
to get him to calm down.
I see. You did well.
Let's talk to Dad first.
I'm going to visit your grandpa soon too.
Ms. Shin, I'd like to meet with you.
When are you free?
Jun Soo.
Yes?
What were you doing? Why are you so surprised?
I wasn't surprised. What is it?
I want you to take your herbal medicine.
Okay.
Why aren't you using the aroma diffuser? You said it worked well.
Oh, I forgot.
Did you?
Anyway, your father is trying...
to match you and Producer Um up somehow.
You really have no interest in Producer Um, right?
I told you, no.
Okay. We can't become in-laws with Bo Ra's real dad.
He did such nasty things to Hae Shim.
What's going on with Dad?
That's what I'm saying!
Bo Ra.
Hi, Byeo Ri.
Hey, how are you going to move?
Mom says I should stay here until my leg gets better.
I guess you can't move with your leg like that.
Oh, I found it.
I'm going to read this and sleep.
Oh, okay.
Byeo Ri, I would have been sad if I couldn't see you every day.
I'm happy you're not moving out.
Me too. Good night, Bo Ra.
All right. Good night, Byeo Ri.
That's right.
What about "Marketaurant"?
It looks like it's going to become a regular show.
Really? That's good.
What about the cast, then?
Producer Um wants it to be a match to regain honor.
I guess they'll just go again with Na Jun Soo and Kang Dae Ro.
Is that so?
I'm uncomfortable with Jun Soo.
I guess I should work things out if we're going to work together.
I should ask to meet with him.
You said you were disappointed in him.
Do you...
Do I what?
Do you want to make things work with Na Jun Soo?
What are you talking about?
We're going to be on the same program.
We can't act awkward around each other.
That's why.
Oh, I see.
That's right.
No, this won't do.
(Ms. Shin, I'd like to meet...)
Ms. Shin, this is Na Jun Soo.
(Bo Ra)
Hello, Bo Ra.
Jun Soo.
I was a bit on the edge that day.
I shouldn't have gotten so angry at you.
Are you free tomorrow for lunch?
I'll be on me.
Okay.
Sure.
Yes?
Come on in.
This is your pay for the month.
My pay?
Oh, my. Why is there so much?
It's your salary along with your YouTube and "Marketaurant" pay.
This is still too much.
It's the right amount.
And Dad...
Oh, my!
What are you saying?
What if someone hears!
I'm going to live like this for a while.
Don't call me Father.
Call me Grandma, okay?
Okay.
If you're uncomfortable staying here,
I can find you a room.
You said you wanted to live with Byeo Ri anyway.
I'm in no position to do that.
I can't live with Byeo Ri as this person.
What would I tell Byeo Ri?
We'll have to cancel your death report somehow...
and regain your identity. I'll help you.
Okay.
But I think it's going to take some time to do all that.
I need to pay my debt as well.
Oh, right. I was thinking about selling the land in Gurye.
Could you look into it?
Land in Gurye?
Yes. My sister left it to me.
It's not a lot, but if I sell it, I might be able to pay back my debt.
Okay, I'll look into it.
Also, it's getting cold. Don't meet Byeo Ri outside.
Just bring her here.
Here?
Would that be all right?
Why did you drink so much?
I know.
The director lived in this town when he was a newlywed.
What?
What did you talk about?
Don't even get me started.
He got mad all of a sudden while drinking.
He must be holding a lot of grudges.
He got mad at you?
Why?
He got mad, asking if parents needed to be qualified or something.
Goodness me.
What, just because you gave birth to a child makes you their parent?
A parent needs to fill the role to be a parent.
You think you know him, and he pulls one like this.
I just don't understand.
If he wasn't my boss, I would have just punched him.
I'm so tired.
Director Kim, that jerk.
The CEO wanted to see me yesterday...
and asked me if you were involved...
in the DBS trying to produce "Marketaurant" on their own.
I'm going to meet with CEO Na Seung Jin today.
I'll clean things up.
- Okay. I trust you. - Sure.
Oh, I need to go.
- I'm going to work. - Be safe.
I will.
- See you later. - Bye.
Oh, my stomach.
Is there any soup?
No.
You come in late, and you want a hangover cure too?
Who did you drink with last night?
Stop asking me who I drink with.
I feel like you're watching me.
Is that so?
I think you're crossing the line.
Mom called last night.
Are you bringing up your mother to blackmail me?
Blackmail?
Does my mom's call sound like blackmail to you?
Are you trying to nitpick every word I say?
I'm not nitpicking.
It's what you sounded like.
You're taking it out on me because Kim Bo Ra won't see you!
That's enough.
I need to go to work.
Fine.
Let's see how long you last.
I was shocked that your long-time girlfriend in the US...
was Producer Um.
I don't know if you know,
but Producer Um...
is the niece of the woman who married my real dad.
The day we had our live show,
Producer Um...
mentioned my real dad in the bathroom and made me furious.
After that, as if she wanted me to hear,
she started talking about her past with you.
I just got so angry.
I was angry that day too.
She hurt me when we were in the US.
She left of her own will.
Hearing that again from her really drove me crazy.
The reason I got an anxiety attack last time...
was because of her.
That's why you passed out that day?
After I broke up with her like that,
I couldn't see anyone else.
I think I get how you feel.
After meeting my real dad,
I was really disappointed as well.
How could he just abandon my mother and me...
and just go along and marry another woman?
Looking at him...
with no sense of responsibility and not a bit of guilt,
I wondered: "Is this what love between a man and woman looks like?"
I became skeptical.
I was let down by irresponsible love as well.
That's why I chose to stay single.
I see.
I wanted to see you today...
because of "Marketaurant." When it becomes a regular show,
I'll see you often while working on it.
I didn't want things to be awkward between us.
I'm not on that show anymore.
I don't want to come across her anymore.
You're going to the station, right?
- Yes. - I'll give you a lift.
Oh, my. It's you, Bo Ra.
Did you have lunch with CEO Na?
Well, I did.
It's good to meet you.
I am Lee Ji Ran, a director at DBS.
We live next door.
You know Sun Han well, right?
I should get going.
Director.
- Sorry, I'm late. - Hello.
What did you want to see me about?
The reason I asked to meet you...
is to offer a vision to Na Production.
Vision?
You've heard about broadcasting stations...
that pick promising productions and take over them, right?
We're examining productions at DBS as well.
And I was thinking about recommending Na Production.
Pardon?
Well, I've heard...
that Tiger Production got sold for five million dollars.
But I'm doing my best...
to remain as an independent production.
I see. I guess you have no plans for acquisition?
Well, it's not that.
So long as there is a proper evaluation of Na Production.
Well, that shouldn't worry you.
In return,
there is a condition.
What would that be?
Do you know that Sun Han and CEO Na...
had lived together back in the States?
Sorry?
I had no idea...
of the relationship between Jun Soo and Producer Um.
Sun Han...
still seems to have feelings left for your son.
I'll be straightforward.
How would you feel about them getting married?
Then I'll have two things to celebrate.
Goodness.
Sir,
I was going to get your approval yesterday.
Right, yesterday.
I had too much to drink.
Did I not make any slip of the tongue?
Anything to offend you in any way?
No,
not at all.
- Please take it. - All right.
Excuse me.
Yes, honey.
I need to talk to you about something.
Do you want to meet outside?
Is that so?
You know Plus Cafe in front of the company, right?
Can you come?
All right. I'll be there by the time you get off work.
Okay.
Are you seeing your wife in the evening?
My wife says she's coming over to the company.
Thank you.
Mr. Park?
I hurt my ankle, so I'll be moving after a week.
What about the balance?
It needs to be wired to them by today.
I'll wire it to you right now.
If you email the contract, I'll sign it.
Could you have the owner of the house to sign it back?
Okay.
Done.
Byeo Ri.
We'll be moving a week later when my cast comes off.
Will the cast come off so soon?
How about...
I get into a traffic accident that will take me 12 weeks to recover?
Geez. That's so scary.
I don't want you to ever get hurt.
All right.
But Byeo Ri.
You want to keep staying in this house, right?
To be honest, I really like Mrs. Lee, Mr. Shin, and Bo Ra.
Still,
we said we'll move out so we should keep our promise.
I know that.
Who's this?
Hello?
Hello, Byeo Ri. Have you been well?
It's me, Uncle Dae Ro.
Uncle Dae Ro?
I want to make you a tasty meal. Do you want to come over next week?
Really?
I'll ask my sister and let you know.
Okay. This is my phone number, so give me a call.
Okay. I'll save it.
Uncle Dae Ro?
Was that Mr. Kang Dae Ro?
Yes. Can I go over to his house?
He said he'll make me something tasty.
Well, sure you can.
But why would he call you up so suddenly?
The day I went to see my mom,
I ran into Uncle Dae Ro in the bus station.
Dad and I are going to eat out, so have dinner by yourselves.
Don't worry about us. Go ahead.
Enjoy your dinner with Mr. Shin.
Okay.
Why would you be here?
I have something to tell you.
Get up and go now.
I'm not here to see you.
Ms. Lee Hae Shim.
You are two-faced.
You told Director Shin...
to make up with his ex-wife for the sake of his daughter.
- What? - Shouldn't you...
ask me to reconcile for Bo Ra's sake?
How absurd.
I have nothing to say to you.
I can't stand for a minute with you.
Where do you think you're going?
- Let go. - I'm not done talking.
Director Kim.
What...
is going on?
(No Matter What)
I don't want to hear about it.
He must've felt betrayed by you and me.
I must've seemed like a joke.
It would be a shame for this end with a single episode.
- Sorry? - I'm not going on the show.
I think things got out of hand as I avoided my real dad.
Did you like seeing me...
as the puppet?
