(Episode 29)
Hello. I'm Shin Gab Soon, the president of...
a cleaning company called Sparkly Clean Gab Soon.
I'd like to ask for your help from now.
- A cleaning company? - Please introduce me to people.
We clean up spotlessly before the tenant moves in.
Do you have any experience? You look too young.
I'm not that young. I'm turning forty pretty soon.
And I have a lot of experience, too.
I'll leave my business cards here.
Please promote my company to people who are moving.
Hello. I'm from a cleaning service named Sparkly Clean Gab Soon.
Let me give you my business cards. Please help me get some work.
Gab Dol, tell me about your family background.
I live with my mum and an older sister.
Then you're the youngest just like me.
I already know your approximate salary. What's your hobby?
I play video games and do some Soo Bahk Do.
- Soo Bahk Do? - I do it to exercise.
I practised it for my physical training since I was young.
Try it now.
- You mean here? - It'll influence your evaluation.
I finished cleaning up.
It is nice and clean. I guess it's because you're young.
Come and clean here occasionally.
Please speak well of my company to your acquaintances.
Hello. We're here for a sanitary inspection.
I got everything done as you told me to.
I even called a cleaning service.
I can notice that.
You did a good job.
You're from the cleaning company, right?
Yes, I am.
You should also clean those spots to prevent cockroaches.
Sanitation comes first in restaurants.
You should do a better job since she paid money for this.
Yes, Sir.
I'm working outside for sanitary inspection.
I didn't think of those spots, either.
I'm sorry. I'll do it over.
It's hard to see you like this.
Don't mind me. Let's live our own lives.
Just think of me as a cleaning service worker.
Could you do that if you were me?
It's hard for me to watch you suffer.
I also don't like running into you at places like this.
Ma'am, I will see you next time. Please call me again soon.
is she Gab Soon, your girlfriend?
How impressive.
Cho Rong. Da Rong. I'm home.
- Dad. - Yes.
What's that delicious smell?
- It's kimchi stew. - Did you make it?
Your aunt?
You know she can't cook properly.
Ms Shin came by.
You live with your son, right?
Do you cook for yourself?
No, our living situation doesn't allow that.
In other words, we don't have a kitchen.
We cook ramyeon inside our room.
Once in a while, we get some food from our neighbour...
as we pretend to use the bathroom.
The bathroom is in the main building.
When our neighbours are eating, we sometimes pretend like we're...
going to the bathroom and say, "That looks delicious."
"That would taste great with some rice."
"That's my favourite."
Then Ms Nam would ask us to join.
That's when my son and I would devour the food.
Is that why you kept wandering around?
Yes.
I'm always hungry.
What does your son do for a living?
He makes deliveries to make money.
- How old is he? - He's 32.
I see.
What does he look like?
He must be handsome if he looks like you.
He doesn't look like me. He looks a like a rich person's son-in-law.
I see.
I would like to meet him. Please introduce us next time.
Sure. My son would like that, too.
He's never received a mother's love.
He goes crazy when he meets older ladies.
I mean, he likes them.
What happened to your wife?
Did you get a divorce? Or...
Hello.
Right now?
Okay.
Let's meet again next time.
It's hard to find him because he doesn't register his address.
He has no relatives or friends.
I've never had so much difficulty locating someone.
You have to find him at all cost.
I need to know if he's dead or alive.
Okay, Ma'am.
Se Gye, this place looks nice.
It does.
Se Gye, are you okay? Mum is so hard on you these days.
I'm so upset.
It's okay now that I don't let it bother me.
What?
- Is Se Gye at home? - Yes, he is.
Tell him to pick up your grandfather's medicine,
and tell him to stop by my office.
I will.
(Cho Rok National University Hospital)
Se Gye, I will go by myself.
I know you don't want to go inside.
Okay, you do that.
Go park the car.
Are you sure you can go by yourself?
Yes, I will call you when I'm done.
- Please go ahead. - Okay.
I heard you ordered to have a meeting once a week.
I didn't order it. I suggested it.
I thought it would be nice to meet...
- once a week to communicate. - How arrogant of you.
Who are you to give orders to my employees?
What do you want?
- I came to deliver water. - Do it quickly and leave.
Don't do anything your way. Do things properly.
- Yes, Ma'am. - I wasn't talking to you.
Don't worry. Please do it quickly and leave.
Okay.
Do you think you can do anything because my father's on your side?
You think very lowly of me, don't you?
Are you looking down on me because I'm uneducated?
- I've never thought that way. - Although the CEO is my father,
the one who really made this company grow is me.
From now on, don't do anything without my permission.
I'm sorry.
- What is going on here? - I dropped the water bottle.
He wasn't asking you. Please finish and leave.
Why are you raising your voice?
I'm training him.
I think Se Gye is being very greedy, Sir.
You told him to start learning from the bottom,
but he does whatever he wants.
He even tries to educate me.
- He's challenging me. - Leave us.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
I thought they were talking to me. Bye.
Sit down, and let's eat together.
I don't think so. I don't want to be accused of being crazy again.
First you boned fish for me, and all of a sudden,
you accused me of eating from your table.
I was just surprised. There's no one around this time.
Forget it.
While you work for me, you will listen to me.
I've seen everything, and I can't trust someone like you.
You're the type who'll push me away and treat me like a stranger.
Trust me. That will never happen again.
Ms Nam.
What do you want? I didn't know you were home.
I just came home.
Are you okay, Ms Nam?
Yes, I'm fine.
My legs feel weary all of a sudden.
When the dry cleaners make the delivery, please take my clothes.
Yes.
Relief Patch, are you okay?
My goodness. You're really something.
Why did she have to come in at that moment?
Yes. Where are you?
Oh, really?
Yes, I'm eating right now.
Okay.
Why are you putting my food away? I'm not done.
What? You said you weren't done.
Are you angry?
You're so sweet that honey is dripping right now.
Sugar water, syrup, and saccharine water is dripping.
I wonder what kind of lady she is.
She is not a woman to me.
She must be a young woman.
You should think about your age.
She must be really young. How outrageous.
I'm done. I'm going out.
(Business Plan)
- Rejected. - What?
Where did you get this idea?
How can you make a million dollars in a year with only 5,000 dollars?
I can do it.
I'm a shrewd business man. I don't waste my money.
Write it again with more realistic and honest figures.
(Profit: 1,000,800 dollars)
(Profit: 500,000 dollars)
I reduced it by half.
I'll just make 500,000 dollars in a year.
What a shame. I was planning to earn one million.
Rejected.
Okay, fine.
(Profit: 100,000 dollars)
- Is this good? - Rejected.
Then how much? I reduced it to 100,000 dollars.
What will I do with 100,000 dollars?
If you don't want to invest, forget it.
You're making excuses because you don't want to do it.
I don't want your money.
Sit down.
No. I won't take your money.
You're investing only 50,000 dollars. Why are you being so nosy?
I'm even planning to repay you the money with interest.
- Bye. - Sit down.
I'm cutting you some slack because of my mum.
Go ahead and talk.
Have you ever earned money?
Of course, I've worked at a karaoke room.
Have you ever worked hard for money?
Of course! Working at a karaoke room is hard work.
You were having fun. That wasn't work.
It's nice to make money while you have fun.
That's right. It's best to make money while you have fun,
but that's only when you know the basics.
How much money do you have?
You have less than 1,000 dollars, don't you? You have no savings.
You don't even have insurance, right?
How old are you?
I'm 36 going on 37.
How much do you think you'll make working at a karaoke room?
You're getting old, so you'll look for easy work that's shady.
You'll deceive people and tell lies.
People end up like that.
Your mother works as a housekeeper despite her bad knees.
She serves people who are much younger than her.
She even does milk delivery in the morning.
You're healthier than your mum, and you have good knees.
You're young. Don't you know how you should live?
That's why I said I'd make a million, but you said I couldn't.
Did you do market research?
Did you think about the cost price?
What about rent, electricity and water bills?
Did you think about the cost of labour?
Did you calculate how many customers you'd have?
And what day and time would be the busiest?
Did you think about what would be a popular menu?
Have you looked into all of that?
And you think you can make a million dollars in just a year?
(Jae Soon)
I ate your kimchi stew with Dad. It was delicious.
Thank you.
I'm so angry and stressed.
I'm doing things that I've never done before.
I'm taking it out on my children. I even knocked over the dinner table.
I must be upset because you back-stabbed me.
Don't feel so hurt.
I was afraid you'd divorce me, so I went ahead first.
I always let my children win,
but why didn't I ever let you win, not even once?
I guess I was scared that I'd end up losing to you forever.
I never treat other people that way, but I don't know...
why I was so calculating towards you.
That only led me to suffocate you.
I'd regret treating you that way once in a while,
but whenever I saw you, I'd do it again.
I was the same.
Looking back, I treated you with no respect.
I didn't dare to treat other people that way,
but to you, I did.
I...
never once...
told you how grateful or sorry I am to you.
For 40 years, you worked so hard to feed our family.
But I never thanked you for that.
I know you struggled so hard...
every day to feed your family.
You've worked so hard.
Thank you.
I didn't know that trash meant so much to you.
Deep down, I knew it was because you felt lonely,
but I didn't want to admit it.
I ignored it because I didn't want you to blame me for it.
I'm sorry...
for making you lonely.
After you came down here,
our kids started having problems.
I couldn't handle them on my own.
I relied on my parents for 20 something years.
But I relied on you for 40 years.
I didn't mean it when I said...
I regretted marrying you.
You knew that, right?
It's understandable. I've done nothing for you.
I didn't mean it when I said I was jealous of my friend...
who gets pension and lives alone.
I did that because I was upset you lost your severance pay.
I understand.
You're a good husband.
Apart from losing your severance pay,
you never cheated on me,
and you were faithful to our family. Thank you for that.
How do you know I never cheated?
Women have...
intuition, even the insensitive ones.
Can you come back home?
I still need you.
Not because of the kids, but because of me.
I can't live on my own without you.
I feel like I lost an arm.
Thank you...
for saying that.
Thank you so much for pocketing your pride...
and coming all the way here...
to tell me all this.
But...
you can't turn back what's already been done.
I don't want to hate you.
I'm sure you feel the same way.
It'll be the same if we live together again.
Let's let go of each other.
We can still live without one arm.
Let's free each other...
and live on our own.
Mum will have fun with her friends for once.
She must be soaking her body in a hot spring right now,
while my brother is working in the cold in Sokcho.
- Shall I call Mum? - I'll call her.
Call your lonely dad, too.
You call Mum. I'll call Dad.
- It's Gab Soon. - It's Jae Soon.
She thinks I went to a hot spring.
- Hi. - Jae Soon.
- I'm well. - The hot spring is nice.
- I just had... - It's warm.
- dinner. - I'm having fun with my friends.
- It's not cold. - I'm eating.
- Take care. - Okay.
All right.
Are you hungry?
It's cold.
You should go back before the last bus leaves.
One ticket to Seoul, please.
There's no more bus to Seoul. The last bus just left.
Really? I should have come earlier.
What do we do? The last bus left already.
About our divorce...
We still have children who aren't married yet.
Can we take care of the paper work later?
If that's what you want,
we can do that.
We came to Sokcho for our honeymoon, too.
We're talking about getting a divorce...
at our honeymoon destination.
Eat up.
You haven't eaten at all.
Since when did we start using separate rooms?
I don't remember.
I think it happened naturally as we got older.
Did I kick you out because of your snoring?
I started sleeping in the living room to watch TV...
after I stopped working.
It feels awkward to sleep in the same room.
I used to know you better than myself.
We raised three children together.
Do you remember?
You made me soup when Jae Soon was born.
I did that?
Your parents didn't even care...
because I didn't have a boy.
I was lying in the cold room alone.
I felt so sad.
I wondered if I got married to be treated that way.
In the early morning, you cooked...
the soup for me without your parents knowing.
That soup you made for me was so delicious.
It was the most delicious food in the world.
I wanted to feed my child,
so I ate while I was full of tears.
That's when I thought,
"I should always trust this man and rely on him."
"I can spend the rest of my life with this man."
Back then, I liked you so much. You were so dependable.
It's getting late.
You should get some sleep.
You need to sleep if you want to leave tomorrow.
I guess you've really made up your mind.
I'm not used to you being like this.
This is all my fault.
You must've been so lonely to have become like this.
Joong Nyeon,
please hold me just this once.
Please give me a ticket for bus to Seoul.
Please fasten your seat belts.
We are departing.
Driver, please stop the bus.
Driver.
Da Rong, wake up. It's time to go to kindergarten.
Wake up. You will be late.
Da Rong, wake up.
(Cho Rong)
Hello, Cho Rong.
Ms Shin, Da Rong is sick.
I can't reach Dad.
Ms Shin, I don't know what to do.
(Hospital entrance)
There's nothing to eat.
Doesn't your grandmother bring you any food?
She doesn't visit us.
We didn't even tell her the address.
Your mum doesn't come by, either?
No.
What time does your father leave?
He goes out early in the morning and comes back home really late.
He stops by when he works near by.
Da Rong gets enteritis easily, so watch what she eats.
Make her drink some lukewarm barley tea.
When she wakes up, make her take medicine after eating this porridge.
Jae Soon.
Dad, Da Rong was sick.
Where? How?
It's enteritis. Ms Shin took her to a hospital.
Jae Soon did?
Why didn't you call me?
Ms Shin made porridge and barley tea.
She even washed Da Rong's blanket.
My goodness! Joong Nyeon!
- Where are you going? - I'm going to pick Ddol Ee up.
Why are you coming in together?
Didn't you go to a hot spring?
I went to a hot spring and took a nice bath.
Did you two meet at the hot spring?
No, I met her just outside.
Are you back for good?
I was going to visit you tomorrow.
Why did you come back?
You said that you will live the rest of your life in Sokcho.
I will go back when the weather gets warmer.
I can't stay there because it's so cold.
The wind in Sokcho is so strong.
We used to enjoy that wind when we were kids.
The wind knocked us off our feet all the time.
We practically flew around.
We were so young and small,
so we were blown away a lot.
Yes, you're right.
I thought you had to pick up Ddol Ee.
You're right. My goodness.
What are you doing?
Why? Do you want to eat something?
No way. We already ate something at the rest area.
Come on out. Let's talk.
Did you make coffee?
Yes.
I made weak coffee for you.
- Why? - Your sister and you are liars.
I know it's windy in Sokcho, but it's not strong enough to...
blow your feet off the ground.
It's true. You wouldn't know since you never lived in Sokcho.
Your ears would fall off.
In winter, you'll trip over ears.
There are piles of them on the ground.
Because people's ears fell off?
- You're a liar. - I'm not.
Mine also fell off, but I put them back again.
My goodness. But I do admit that it's cold there.
It's not as cold as back then because there are many buildings.
We were all cold in the past. It was even colder because we were poor.
You made delicious coffee.
Say what you need to say.
I have to brace myself when you tell me you have something to say.
I get worried about what you might bring up next.
Tell me quickly if you have a woman.
That's the only thing left.
Nae Shim.
Let's undo our marriage.
What do you mean by that?
In short, it's the opposite of getting married.
Some say it's graduating from marriage.
If marriage binds us together,
undoing it can mean "releasing us from marriage".
It's different from getting a divorce...
where you break up because you hate each other.
How does that work?
We can stay married legally,
but each of us can enjoy our own lifestyle.
We should live in comfort without meddling with each other.
- How should I put it? - Like friends?
That's right. Like good friends or good partners.
I could say that we're reorganising our relationship.
That way, we won't have to hate each other...
and can keep our good relationship for a long time.
- What do you think? - That's a good point.
You won't get disappointed if you don't expect too much.
Then, what do we do with this house?
It's economically burdensome for us to live in separate houses.
And we decided not to get divorced until Gab Soon gets married.
So let's just live here together.
Instead, let's make some rules.
Let's cook our own meals.
Let's clean and do the laundry respectively, too.
It's kind of like being roommates with each other.
We'll live in separate rooms and not interfere.
We'll still go together to family events.
- Then people won't know. - They won't.
Let's write down...
about the details.
There's no need to do that. We can just agree on it.
- Can you cook for yourself? - I should.
Cooking is too much for you.
I'll make some more when I cook my food.
Just set your own table and clean your dishes.
I'd appreciate that.
Let's make the side dishes together.
The least you can do is not bother me.
It's not efficient to do the laundry often,
so I'll wash yours, too. You can hang them out and fold them.
Okay.
Let's take turns to clean the house.
And there is one more important thing.
Let's stop receiving money from Se Gye.
Then how can we make a living?
Let's put this house on mortgage...
and receive living expenses from the bank.
It's like a reverse mortgage loan.
I didn't want to touch this house.
Are you going to take it when you die?
It's okay for us to use up all the money we have.
Get up.
Since we're on the subject, let's go to the bank.
Dad's going to prepare his own meal from now on?
That's not all. He'll even cook the side dishes.
I wanted to set your mum free from making food.
I thought about it and found out what a hassle it would be.
She had to cook for others even when she didn't want to eat.
Every three meals a day.
If it were me, I would've fled already.
A housewife should at least do that.
I know.
That's great, Dad. Good for you, Mum.
I don't think you'd be able to. You've never worked in the kitchen.
I can do it once I set my mind to it.
People who get retired should try to cook for themselves first.
Middle aged men of a new generation should do that.
That's the meaning of your name.
But why is my name Mal Nyeon?
It could be Cheong Nyeon or So Nyeon that means "youth".
I won't believe him until I see him doing everything he says.
Just turn a blind eye, Mum.
It seems like we'll all be living independently from now on.
A family should share food together.
We should follow the change of the world.
I thought you'd stay in Sokcho for long.
I came early because I missed your mum's nagging.
I felt lonely without it since I'm used to it.
What did you talk about with Dad?
Until Gab Soon gets married,
we decided not to get divorced...
but live separate lives just like what he said a minute ago.
Keep it to yourself.
Don't reveal it to Se Gye and Gab Soon.
I won't.
- Are you okay with that, Mum? - Yes, I am.
Gab Dol.
I was waiting for you.
Please write a report for me.
I have to write reports at work, and now, even at home.
I have to leave soon.
Please give me five minutes. Please?
(Profit: 100,000 dollars.)
What kind of a report is this?
Did I do it wrong?
It doesn't make sense at all.
How can you make a million dollars in a year with just 50,000 dollars?
I corrected it to 100,000 dollars, but I still got rejected.
Did you do any market research?
He said that, too. But how am I supposed to do that?
I should've studied for this occasion.
Who is your sponsor?
There is someone, but it's a secret.
What are you doing?
The new sponsor wanted me to write a report.
- Is he really investing his money? - Yes.
But he is so picky.
Your face looks like you'll have a good fortune later in your life.
I've heard people say that ever since I was young.
Look at how Gab Dol became a public official.
She says she'll make 1,000,000 dollars in a year.
1,000,000 dollars, my foot.
I don't know who on earth decided to invest their money,
but I'm sure that person's crazy.
He's not crazy.
Shut it. Don't take someone else's money lightly.
That's what a swindler does.
Make some time this weekend, Gab Dol.
Where are you going?
I'm going to meet my friends.
I won't be able to make time this weekend, Mother.
Not again.
- Get in. - Please let us talk for a moment.
We don't have anything to talk about.
You heard her.
Please leave us alone.
He wants me to leave. Should I leave or wait?
Don't wait.
Should I not wait?
Gab Soon must be tired, so make it quick...
and escort her to her house.
I'll get going. Text me.
We need to set things straight. We can't keep doing this.
- Set what straight? - You know what I mean.
Just acknowledge me as I am.
I'm no longer the Gab Soon who used to study to become a teacher.
I'm now someone who just started a cleaning business.
Gab Soon, please think of me.
I understand your situation.
I understand you don't want to try your best for something ambiguous.
I know it well since I've been there.
But can't you think of my situation just a little bit?
My mum keeps pestering me to go on blind dates.
My mum went through a lot.
She was only 34 years old when my dad passed away.
She did almost everything to raise me and my sister.
She still delivers milk every morning and works as a maid.
Even though she's suffering from her knee pain every night,
she's been only thinking about my being successful her whole life.
I mean a lot to her like that, so I can't bring myself to say...
that I want to marry you.
I know I should do it...
to be a good man to you and our friends.
But I'm not sure if I can persuade my mum.
Whenever I think of her, I get teary-eyed.
Could you try to understand me?
Tell me if there's a way.
A way?
Just meet that girl your mum wants.
Let's not make things difficult.
Don't talk like that.
Why do you hang out with that guy? Do you like him?
I told you I'm not interested in any guy.
I'm just struggling to take care of myself.
I don't care if he follows me or not.
Is that the only reason?
I got a credit card today.
It's my first one.
As soon as I got it,
I thought of you.
I thought of you, not my mum.
I wanted to let you use this to buy whatever you want to eat...
and take you to the department store...
to get you expensive earrings, not cheap ones.
I wanted to do everything good only with you.
I don't want to listen to you any more.
I don't want to lose you.
I'm scared I might lose you like this.
Are you done with the divorce papers?
- No. - No.
I'm asking Jae Soon, not you two.
Gosh. Everyone here all got divorced.
Does this house have some kind of bad luck or what?
I'm looking for a chance.
His situation is not good to talk about.
He lives in a rooftop house.
How could that happen when he ran such a big company?
How did you know? You've been there?
I saw Cho Rong on the street last time so I followed her.
Why did you do that?
You're the one who decides what to do and makes your own fate.
I can already hear your wailing.
Did you meet Geum Sik?
No. I only met his kids.
You couldn't even live well together when he was rich,
and now, why do you try to see his family?
As Mal Nyeon said, do you want to make your life miserable again?
You're over him already.
Why would you want to get back together again even he's broke?
- I won't let you do it. - I wouldn't do it.
We had lived together for over a year.
How could I just pass by them?
It's obvious.
You must have felt bad for them,
so you went to their house...
and cooked some kimchi stew in a big pot for them.
Did you?
There was no food to eat,
so I cooked rice and kimchi stew.
Oh my goodness. Am I a psychic?
Yes, you are.
How could you know about kimchi stew?
That's your problem. You're too nice. Don't do it any more.
Here's your order.
Hold on. I already cleaned there. Put that here.
Okay.
- Fried dumplings are on the house. - Thanks.
- Are you going out with him? - Cut it out.
If not, why do you two have to tag along all the time?
Have you ever thought about Gab Dol?
You're too much.
We're friends, you know? Answer me.
If we're friends, you'd better try to understand me, not only Gab Dol.
Do you understand what he thinks?
You have no idea how much he's in trouble, don't you?
Don't you know how his mum is like?
You should go back to work.
Did you try to understand him?
You know his mum has been through so much.
If I were him, I would be like him.
If you really understand him,
you shouldn't be like this.
He said that his mum still delivers milk every morning...
and works as a maid.
His mum only looks forward to seeing him succeed.
So he can't bring himself to say that he wants to marry me.
He said he knew he should do it...
to be a good man to me and friends.
But he can't do that because he feels sorry for his mum.
Whenever he thinks of her, he feels sad.
He told me this over and over. I even memorised it.
I have to clean here after eating this. You should go.
Then let me ask you one thing.
Why do you tag along with him?
He ignored you before saying you were not his type. So why?
I bet Gab Dol is considerate.
If I were him, I wouldn't let you do that.
By any chance, do you clean here because you want to flirt with him?
You try to look pitiful...
so that you can seduce him after all.
It's true that a rich guy is better than an official.
Dream on. That guy is far different from us.
His family is from a different world, okay?
I'm sure you'll get dumped three months later. I guarantee.
You punk.
(Dongsan District Office)
Did you ask Dal Tong to do it? How childish.
Are you happy to take your revenge like that?
What do you want from me? If I go out with him, so what?
You have nothing to say, right?
Where are you going?
Why? I can't come to the district office?
I'm one of the residents who pays tax.
I came to take the dishes back.
What in the world did you do this time?
I talked to her for you.
And you two, please stop making me stressed out any more.
Hi. I'm interested in the start up support for young people.
I want to get some support but I don't know how.
We also have some start up programmes here.
Hi. Don't you remember me?
I'm Kim Young Ran and work with Gab Dol.
Hi.
Can we talk over tea?
I'm kind of busy. What's the matter?
You're Gab Soon, right? Gab Dol's girlfriend?
I heard you've been seeing for 10 years.
I think Gab Dol is a fine man.
I wondered who his girlfriend was.
If he's a good man, you know everyone can spot him.
You'd better be careful.
What do you mean?
I had a crush on him at first sight.
See you next time then.
I hope you get what you wanted. Have a good day.
Gab Dol.
Did you turn in this report?
What's wrong with you?
Sir, I did it.
I forgot to review it and turned it in.
I'll redo it.
- It should be done by today. - Sure. I get it.
Come down.
Dad.
How did you know I was here?
Is it hard to reach up there?
You took after me so you're small.
Is everything okay?
Yes. I already knew it's going to be hard.
Dad, I'm getting lots of customers and also have regulars.
Really?
Word spreads quickly. We do after-sales service as well.
You order 10 times for cleaning and get 1 for free.
I'm thinking about doing interior design later.
- Interior design? - Yes.
When I'm cleaning, I have to organise things too.
And that makes me want to study...
how to do it well in terms of convenience and interior.
So I'm planning to do service not only for cleaning...
but also for organising stuff and interior design.
Also, pretty and spacious furniture seem to be good.
I'm going to expand my business that way.
How did you come up with that idea?
I didn't think of it at first, but as I worked, it came naturally.
I went to the start up support centre at the district office...
and they may offer me an office.
Right. And I'll practise driving...
and buy a used car...
so that I can move easily and faster.
So I'm saving money tenaciously.
Eat up.
Why do you dig around whenever you come to Seoul?
Are you doing it again?
I'd like to make a nice ladder for Gab Soon.
When she does the cleaning, she can't reach the high spots.
Even stopping her business wouldn't be enough.
But you're going to make a ladder for her?
That's why Gab Soon is like that.
What do you mean?
Mind what you're saying. You don't even know how she'll turn out.
Do you think she'll be cleaning for the rest of her life?
She'll become a chairman of the best interior design company...
in Korea. Just wait and see.
Why should I wait and see?
My life has been a history. I can already tell.
What have you done?
You've done nothing, really.
Bring this home.
Dad, what brings you here?
Pick one. You should dress warmly since it's cold.
- What brings you here? - Se Gye.
You were here.
I'm going to buy Gab Soon some clothes.
Don't mind the price tag and pick one that's nice and pretty.
It's okay, Dad. You don't have any money.
I made some money from Sokcho.
Pick the most popular one from your store.
This is the most popular one nowadays. What do you think?
I wouldn't know.
Do you want to try it on?
It's pretty.
- Do you like it? - It suits you well.
Thank you, Dad.
Thanks to you, this winter won't be cold at all.
If you like it, I'm happy.
How much is it?
(The police will ensure your safety and establish judicial order.)
We filed a report, so let's wait.
It's cash, not a cheque. Nobody will return it.
Is your work going well?
I'm trying to make some bucks, but it's not going well.
Everyone's struggling so it's hard to grill them.
Why do I always meet guys like him?
- I think you have a problem. - What?
If you keep seeing similar guys, it means you also have a problem.
Hey!
Did you see this? The weird woman...
who was on air live for marrying a chaebol...
happens to be Cho Rong's aunt.
- My goodness. - My goodness.
You're right. She's Cho Rong.
Cho Rong's family pictures are posted online.
You're doomed because of your aunt.
Did your family move to a rooftop house?
Your family must be completely broke, right?
I heard your biological mother ran away, too.
(Speedy Parcel)
Isn't it pretty, Cho Rong? Wear it on Christmas.
Jo Geum Sik.
The rumour was true.
I heard you've been kicked out as a CEO.
Long time no see. I wasn't kicked out.
People like me would've never been able to go out.
You're so brazen.
You were a CEO one day, and now, you're merely a sales rep.
- That's not how it is. - Eat well.
We're doing all this to make a living.
I guess you won't make it to the year-end party, then.
Hold on.
I'll get going.
Hello, Mr Kim. I'm almost there. I'll be there shortly.
What are you doing?
What is it?
Where did you get it? It's new.
Throw it away. I won't wear it.
What is it?
I don't need this.
I never asked her to send this kind of stuff.
We don't need these kinds of clothes right now.
Did your mum send it?
Cho Rong.
Don't cry.
You don't have to wear it. Forget about it.
I don't want to go to school.
What are you talking about? Why don't you want to go to school?
I'm too embarrassed to go.
All my personal information has been revealed because of A Young.
Everyone knows that we're bankrupt.
They also know that we moved to a rooftop house.
A Young,
what is this?
Was all of that a lie?
How will you be responsible for this?
Your little nieces can't go to school because of what you've done!
Stop it. It would've been nice if you had looked into him.
How could you be so childish?
Do you think I wanted to be like that?
Since I was young, I've been teased and bullied because I was an orphan.
Then I lied that my family was rich,
and I could make friends.
You were always out making money, so I struggled all by myself.
Then...
what happened to the money?
I lost it.
Are you even lying to me now? Didn't you use it yourself?
No, please don't say that.
I'm already upset.
Stop it, A Young.
My dad's already upset. Do you have to be like this?
If you're planning to continue, you should just leave.
What are you doing?
I'm about to go to bed.
I hope...
you dream...
- about me... - Grandpa.
Yes.
My article, "Style That Makes You Look Younger", has been published.
Aren't you happy?
Are you waiting for someone to call you?
It's late. Nobody will call me.
You've been looking at your phone all this time.
I was just looking at the time.
Aren't you going to bed?
I can't sleep. Go to bed first.
Relief Patch.
You didn't reply to my text.
You shouldn't have messaged me in the first place.
I was going to, but Gong Joo came to my room.
I was trying to get some sleep. You spoke first then ignored me.
Why ask in the first place?
- Did you wait for my reply? - Whatever.
Are you sullen?
I got you baked sweet potatoes. It's still hot.
I brought it in my arms so it wouldn't go cold.
I'll peel it off. Hold on.
Are you going to push me away once again?
I won't. I checked both stories...
and nobody's home.
You thought I was going to give it to you, didn't you?
It's delicious.
Gosh, this is easy. Help yourselves.
Hey.
From where do you get all this stuff?
Do you want to grab lunch together?
Let's go see a movie afterwards.
My husband?
He says he'll cook for himself now.
He says he'll clean and do the laundry on his own.
I'm serious.
My destiny...
isn't just on an easy street. I could even cry, "Hurrah."
Hey, I'm hanging up.
What's going on?
Nothing. Go back.
I was looking for a frying pan to make fried eggs.
Okay.
Where's the oil?
It's on the left cupboard under the sink.
- What about the salt? - It's on the shelf.
Stay there. I'll do it myself.
Where's the spatula?
It's here.
You should have everything ready before you start.
Gosh. If you look for stuff at a time like this,
when can you eat?
It's all burnt.
You can't eat it. Cook it again.
(Cho Rong)
When are you coming over?
I miss you.
Don't go to their house without a reason.
Hurry and get the papers done.
It smells good.
It's her.
- Ms Shin. - Ms Shin.
You're back. I made grilled beef for you.
- It must be good. - It smells nice.
Cho Rong, I made some side dishes like...
stir-fried anchovies, bean and tofu boiled in soy sauce.
Eat it later with Da Rong.
- Da Rong, are you feeling better? - Yes.
She got better after having porridge and taking medicine.
Don't be sick any more, okay?
Cho Rong.
I'm sorry...
I couldn't treat you better when we lived together.
Be healthy,
study hard and listen to your father.
Take good care of Da Rong as well.
Aren't you coming back any more?
I can't.
Don't call or text me any more.
Even if you call me, I won't be able to come.
Goodbye.
(Our Gab Soon)
Hi. Nice to see you again.
Are they a couple?
- What are you doing? - Just give me a week.
I'll persuade my mum.
- Is this yours? - I'm the boss.
You were planning to seduce my dad from the beginning, weren't you?
You and your daughter bled my dad...
for the money. What wicked witches!
I'll pay you back right away, okay?
You family went broke and your stepmother ran away.
What a pity.
Ms Shin.
Do you feel attached after you decided to get a divorce?
Don't ever contact them.
What are you doing? You said you broke up with her.
I'll never marry off my son to Gab Soon.
What's so special about a public official?
I can't stand it any more. I'm going to marry Gab Soon.
