(Episode 41)
You're kidding, right?
No, I'm serious.
What should I do?
Why?
I'm not...
in a situation to date somebody.
You have no interest in me.
No, it's not that.
I have a lot to do right now.
I have too much on my plate.
Don't make excuses.
You just don't have feelings for me.
Bo Ra, with you,
I want to be able to see for a long time just like now.
Okay. I understand.
I'll buy you dinner. Let's go.
I know a nice restaurant nearby.
No, I don't feel like eating today.
I'll just go home.
He turned me down.
I'm so embarrassed.
I got too worked up by what Producer Um said.
Wait.
I thought he liked me too?
Was I the only one who got excited by the heart racing?
It's so humiliating.
Stop eating and help me untangle this.
Why would you a tree every year? You don't even go to church.
Do you need a religion for that? It's pretty.
Did you go and see the shaman?
Is Jun Soo getting married?
Jun Soo has his luck with marriage this year.
What?
Then does he have something going on with Bo Ra?
The friend he was meeting last time was actually Bo Ra.
That can't happen!
He needs to marry Producer Um to hand over the company!
I can't have Bo Ra or Producer Um as my daughter-in-law.
They have such a strong ego.
How can I stop him?
- I'm home. - Hey.
- You're back. - Hey, sit down for a second.
All right.
Are you going out with Bo Ra by any chance?
I'm not. We're like siblings.
Right?
Then why would you go to a drive-in theater with her?
People would misunderstand.
And you even lied that you were meeting a friend.
Because I knew you'd overreact.
I can get up now, right?
Hey,
do you happen to have someone else in mind?
I said I don't.
That's strange. He said he met the one.
This siru rice cake is so good.
Ms. Han gave it to me for Ah Ri and me, thinking we have moved out.
She's unusually sincere.
We enjoyed the grilled deodeok last time too.
I better pay her back next time.
Wow, you're really good at sewing.
Am I? Is it in a straight line?
It was made of cotton wool, so it's really nice and warm.
Wow, Mr. Lee would love this.
I'm home.
- You're here. - Hey.
What's up with the blanket?
It's for your grandpa.
Are you finally trying to make up with him?
Yes. I don't think I can hold off any longer.
Your grandpa seems to have dementia.
Dementia?
I didn't notice anything when I saw him during the shoot.
If Ah Ri and Bo Ra didn't notice anything,
I think it's not that serious yet.
The CEO of Gold K is having lunch with Jun Soo tomorrow.
But does Jun Soo know that you'll be joining them?
Of course, he doesn't. He wouldn't come if he knew.
Oh, right. While watching "Dae Chan Brothers' Wonky Show,"
I was going to order dongchimi mukbap as I craved it so much,
but they don't sell it yet.
Can't you do me a favor and ask them for it?
Hold on. I'll give Mr. Kang a call. This is what acquaintances are for.
Hello?
Mr. Kang. It's Producer Um.
I called as I have a favor to ask.
You know my aunt is a fan of Ms. Han, right?
After watching your show on YouTube,
she wants to have dongchimi mukbap so much and wants to order it.
Would that be possible?
We were going to sell it soon anyway.
If it's your favor, we could arrange it for you.
Thank you.
You don't need to deliver it then. I'll go get it from you.
Sure.
Ms. Han has to make the buckwheat jelly,
so I'll ask her if she can do it tomorrow and leave you a message.
Whose call was that?
Ms. Han, you know the producer of "Marketaurant," right?
The girl I threw water at in Gurye?
Could you be able to prepare...
about 2 or 3 servings of buckwheat jelly tomorrow?
Her aunt is a fan of you.
It could be a friendly gesture for your fan.
Oh, my. My popularity is so troublesome.
Chan Sung, you should take some of it.
You should take some too, Mr. Lee.
I better do justice as a friendly gesture.
- Give me some too. - All right.
I'm going to erase everything from Jun Soo.
This is so embarrassing.
(Message deleted.)
(Mr. Kang Dae Ro)
(Did you get home safely?)
That's right.
He asked me to buy him a drink to congratulate.
Right. It'd be tonight.
You're the winner of Kim Bo Ra Lotto.
Bo Ra? At this hour?
Hello?
Congratulations, Mr. Kang.
You were selected as my drinking buddy.
Bo Ra, have you been drinking?
Can I buy you a drink tonight that I took a rain check on?
So you remember.
Where are you?
Dae Ro, I'll congratulate you for everything tonight.
Congratulations...
on winning the Commoner's Table.
Thank you.
Here. I'll pour you a glass.
Cheers.
Why are you drinking alone tonight?
What about CEO Na Jun Soo?
Don't even mention his name.
I'm not going out with him, full stop.
I never asked if you were going out with him.
Did something upset you?
Did something happen between you and your biological dad?
I'm not seeing my biological dad anymore either.
Because of him, my dad quit his job.
Actually,
the managing director of Plus Market is my biological dad.
That's why Director Shin quit.
Pardon?
Did you know that he quit?
I saw him last time, and he suggested a partnership.
So I told him I'd like to work with him if he makes up with Mr. Lee.
Then I'd use this chance to be the stepping stone bridging the gap.
I felt really bad as it felt like it was my fault that he quit.
It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself.
Promise me, you won't.
Cheers.
Didn't anyone ever ask you out?
Of course, someone had asked me out.
With this face and body,
girls would kill to go out with me.
What the heck? You need a reality check.
But...
I only had one girl that I've ever liked.
So? Did you go out with her?
No.
Why not?
Just.
She wanted to be drinking buddies.
Drinking buddies?
Do you have another drinking buddy other than me?
I do.
Did you think you're the only drinking buddy I have then?
I guess not.
Dae Ro! Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Your clothes are torn!
This is my fault. I'll get you a new jacket.
You already looked cold in those thin clothes.
It's okay. I can have it mended.
You work outside a lot. You'll catch a cold.
Let's go get you a jacket, Dae Ro.
Come on. Let's go.
Just come with me.
Coats look nice, but they won't be warm enough.
This is light.
What do you think?
It looks great.
It looks nice, but will it feel nice?
Try this on.
Try that, and let's see if there's a sweater that goes with it.
Let's try matching this one with it.
A sweater as well?
Isn't that too much?
Just hurry up and change.
I can cover that much.
What do you think?
It's not bad, but shall we try something else?
This one.
Here.
That looks perfect.
What do you think, Dae Ro?
It's nice.
It's comfortable when I move.
And it's light.
Does it fit well?
Your girlfriend has a good eye.
This jacket is cool and comfortable, so it's popular this season.
We'll take both.
Okay.
Thank you, Bo Ra.
I'll think of you when it keeps me warm.
I should fall again.
You look good.
Hey.
Did you drink with Na Jun Soo again?
No.
You said you were seeing him to cast him.
Enough with that casting stuff.
I'm the host. Do I need to do the casting as well?
You do it.
You told me you were working on it.
Did something go wrong?
Why should I be working on Jun Soo?
Why are you getting mad at me?
Did you meet with him or not?
I don't know. Enough about him.
What?
You were happy when you went to see a movie with him.
Why did you turn around 180 degrees in a single day?
Why?
- Get out! - All right.
Are you making yourself honey tea?
Did you drink again?
A little.
I'm going to your grandpa's to give him the new blanket.
If I bring it, he'll say he doesn't need it.
You go and take him out somewhere for a little while.
I'll bring it then.
Okay, Mom.
I'll take him out for walks whenever I have the time.
They say regular exercise is good for dementia.
All right.
Also, your grandpa might get suspicious,
so let's ask the people there for some help in advance.
Tell them we're washing his blankets and bringing him a new one.
Okay. Don't worry.
What about Director Shin?
Is he coming back?
Enough, already.
Why are you on my back about this as well? What are you, a creditor?
You know my mom has a short temper.
She's going to call and make a fuss again.
I met with Director Shin yesterday.
I told him we'd give him everything he wanted.
He refused flatly even then.
What more am I supposed to do?
Why did you get in a fight with him at the office?
I didn't start it. He did! Geez!
What's wrong, Aunt?
What's going on with Uncle?
Don't you think it's strange?
Uncle got into a fight with Director Shin.
What did he do to get in trouble?
You're right.
Director Shin is Ms. Shin's dad. I saw him during filming.
He didn't seem like the type to start fights.
Director Shin's daughter is the writer working with you?
He's Kim Bo Ra's stepdad. That means they're sisters.
Really?
How did they hide it so well?
Ms. Shin did say her mom is a stepmom.
That's not the problem right now. You know what Director Shin is like.
There must be something your uncle is hiding from me.
What is he doing that he's trying to keep from me?
That's why he's getting into fights.
Aunt, don't be too sensitive.
It's not good for you.
I'll bring dongchimi gukbap over later.
Eat that and let yourself loose. I heard Ms. Han was making them.
Is that so?
Ms. Shin, how did it go with Jun Soo?
I said I'd get you casting funds. Did you try it?
I tried asking through Ms. Kim,
but I don't think it's going to work.
Kim Bo Ra?
Your sister?
What?
How could you keep the fact that you're sisters from me?
That's really creepy.
You hid the fact that you had feelings for CEO Na during casting.
How is that the same thing? That was for the program.
Did hiding the fact that Bo Ra and I are sisters...
hurt the program in any way?
Oh, geez. You're going at it again.
It's not our office if it's quiet, is it?
Did you know Kim Bo Ra and Ms. Shin were sisters?
What? Well, yes, I did.
What? Then you could have at least told me earlier.
Anyway, Producer Um.
When is your birthday?
Why do you ask? Are you going to give me a present?
You've never done that before.
You might become a part of my family.
I should start celebrating your birthday now.
It's not coming up for a long while. It's May 19.
What time were you born?
Why do you need to know that?
I see! You're trying to see if we're compatible!
I heard the other side has no interest at all.
Why are you two already counting your chickens?
That is none of your business.
It's not your family.
Why did you want me to hide that we were meeting with you?
The truth is,
there's talk of marriage between CEO Na and my niece going around.
So the lady who was drinking with CEO Na...
at the hotel lounge bar in the middle of the night...
must've been your niece.
The hotel lounge bar?
When was that?
The day "Marketaurant" aired.
CEO Na said something about a writer.
No. My niece is a producer, not a writer.
I'm sorry I'm late, sir.
How are you here?
CEO Na, welcome.
I was talking to the Director about "Marketaurant."
She said she was well-acquainted with you.
I thought we could have lunch together.
That's okay, right?
You should have told me earlier.
I thought it would be nice for you to meet like this.
Right, CEO Na.
Did you hear "Marketaurant" is becoming a regular show?
I did.
You're staying on, right?
No.
I'm not going to be a part of "Marketaurant."
What? Why not?
I thought that it was more effective...
for you to go on TV to raise sales early next year.
We're looking for ways to raise sales.
Sir. I'll do my best to make sure...
you won't regret investing in Daybreak.
I don't get it.
You just have to jump on the bandwagon.
Why don't you want to come on?
I think you know the answer to that question.
You should eat without me.
I'll get up.
CEO Na.
Your mother is coming to the house with new blankets?
Can we say that Ms. Han brought the new blankets?
Okay.
You even bought me new clothes. This is nothing compared to that.
Just tell me what you need.
The daughter must be getting ready to make things right.
That's why she's coming over.
I think so.
I hope Mr. Lee forgives her.
Oh, right.
I should head home and make the dongchimi mukbap.
Oh. Go ahead.
All right.
Mrs. Lee, are you going over to Mr. Lee's house?
Can't I come with you?
I want to see Uncle Dae Ro and Ms. Han too.
Would they be at home since they'll be at work?
But if you want to join me, let's go together.
Gosh. I'm so excited.
Grandpa.
Goodness. You're here, Bo Ra.
The weather's fantastic today.
Why don't we go for a walk, Grandpa?
For a walk?
Why would you go when it's cold? I'll pass.
Grandpa, you seem to be gaining weight around the belly.
You know it's a warning signal with your health, right?
Let's go.
It's a hassle. I won't go.
Oh, right. On my way here,
I saw roasted chestnuts in the main street.
Roasted chestnuts?
Roasted chestnuts are great in winter.
Why don't we go?
Here we go.
Wait for me, Grandpa.
Has it been a while since you came to Mr. Lee's house?
I guess so.
It's been such a long time.
- Byeo Ri. Give me a minute. - Sure.
He's gotten more things in the kitchen now.
He's still using the same blanket.
Mrs. Lee,
should I take the blanket out now?
Yes, let's do that.
Goodness.
How long has he been wearing this?
All his long johns are tattered.
I should buy him some new ones.
No one's in.
- Ms. Han. - Byeo Ri.
Hello, Ms. Han.
We've met in the flower shop.
Oh, my. You must be Mr. Lee's daughter. It's nice to meet you.
Me too.
Bo Ra has told me about...
how you and Mr. Kang are looking after my dad.
I appreciate it.
I don't know how to repay you.
My gosh. I really didn't do much.
I want to drop by sometimes to bring things he may need.
Could you keep it a secret from my dad for the time being?
Don't you worry about it.
(Director)
Yes. Aunt?
I was on my way to get dongchimi mukbap.
Do you know...
what I heard today from the CEO of Gold K?
The CEO of Gold K?
Did you meet Jun Soo? What did he say? Will he come on board?
Don't get me started. He cut me off refusing coldly, then left.
But that's not the problem now.
Why? What do you mean?
The CEO of Gold K told me...
that on the night after "Marketaurant" aired,
Na Jun Soo had a drink with a girl at a hotel lounge.
A girl? Who do you mean?
He said she was a writer.
Is she on your team by any chance?
What? With Ms. Shin?
Isn't Ms. Shin the sister of Kim Bo Ra?
Aunt. I'm driving right now, so we'll talk when I get home.
Okay.
What was that?
They left together that day. Did they drink together?
- Hello, Ms. Han. - Oh, hello.
Where have you been?
What?
I went walking in town with Bo Ra and had some roasted chestnuts.
Are you preparing for dinner already?
The buckwheat jelly looks glossy.
Get your hands off it.
Why would you get all hungry whenever you see buckwheat jelly?
I'm making this for someone, so don't get your eyes on it.
All right, old lady.
You're so stingy with food.
Grandpa, I'll get going now.
Let's take a walk tomorrow. Okay?
Again?
I'd be glad to walk every day with my granddaughter.
I'll see you then, Grandpa.
- Sure. - Goodbye.
- Bye.
Ms. Kim Bo Ra. I didn't expect to see you here.
But what brings you here?
I want to ask you the same question.
This is my grandpa's house.
Is it?
But Ms. Kim,
I heard you and Ms. Shin are sisters.
Yes. What about it?
I was completely fooled.
But what is it with sisters going after one man?
What's that supposed to mean?
You talked big that you could date Jun Soo.
And Ms. Shin had a drink...
with Jun Soo into the night at a hotel.
What did you say?
(No Matter What)
Are you so obsessed about seeing Kim Bo Ra?
I hope you won't cut ties with me.
What brings you to call me at this hour?
You haven't talked to your son about it yet, right?
I didn't think you were the type to stab people behind their backs.
Did you have a drink with Jun Soo?
Fine, I did. So what?
Had I known about it, I would...
Didn't we say we'll pretend nothing had happened that day?
