(Episode 19)
We're at work!
Let's go.
Soon-nam!
Sorry, I meant to tell the security, but...
Is that Yu-min and the director?
I can't believe this!
Yu-min is suddenly our new brand's strategic manager.
What is the meaning of this?
He's the new adviser? Does that mean...
he'll be working on your team?
To be precise, he'll be working with Hwang Se-hui.
She said she put a lot of effort into hiring him...
and gave him this look.
I don't know what's going on,
but if you don't do anything,
something major might happen soon.
Can't you try to stop him?
Of all the companies out there, why does it have to be ours?
This is where you'll be staying.
This is where you wanted to take me?
Were you going to stay at that motel?
You are now...
the strategic adviser of our company.
We'll need to keep up appearances.
I can take care of myself.
It's part of the company package, so don't worry.
For now, you just need to focus on work.
I don't want you to...
waste time or energy on anything besides that.
All right.
When do I start?
I wanted to show you your office, but it's not ready.
You should go and finish that.
I'll need some time to unpack.
Let's move separately.
I like your enthusiasm.
I'll see you later.
If anything happens,
I'll call you right away, so don't worry too much.
Okay.
You should get back.
Aren't you leaving?
I can't just leave like this.
Now that I'm here, I should at least see him.
I have a lot to say to him.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to wait.
They'll be coming back to the office, right?
I think so since they're preparing his office.
All right, then.
Go on in, Myeong-ja.
Look at her waiting like a rock.
It's such a shame.
Cha Yu-min! Cha Yu-min! Cha Yu-min!
What were you doing?
You had no idea Seon-ju was about to hire him?
I'm sorry.
Don't you know why I placed you next to her?
She hired him despite knowing...
he's a part of Jeokhyeonjae.
That means she's trying to antagonize me.
Is there something you suspect?
I'm sure she's anxious...
especially now that Cha Man-pyeong is dead.
Don't you think the root of the problem...
should be eliminated?
Let's see what happens for now.
I want to know what she's thinking.
Yes, sir.
Get out. You can't do this here!
You can't hand these out here!
This whole building isn't owned by Hwangryong!
It is!
Give me that!
Geez!
Pick them up and go somewhere else!
(Have you seen this person?)
Yes.
Where are you?
You even found a new place?
How could you be so bold?
It was provided by the company.
I moved in today.
Are you really going to work for Hwangryong Group?
It's because of that woman, Hwang Se-hui, isn't it?
You're right...
since she hired me.
What was that I saw earlier?
It's not the kind of romantic relationship you think it is.
I don't think she feels that way.
You may not be interested, but not her.
Her intentions aren't pure.
- I don't care. - Yu-min!
I need a place to work.
I need my value to be recognized.
Why does it have to be Hwangryong?
You don't know this,
but Hwangryong is the reason Jeokhyeonjae closed down.
They're the ones Father fought against until the very end.
That doesn't matter anymore either.
Father's dead now.
How could you?
Aren't you even curious?
Don't you want to know...
why Father had to suffer?
Aren't you curious what they did to us?
That's how major corporations handle rumors!
Rumors?
- Yu-min! - Listen carefully.
I can't afford to worry about the deceased.
I was almost ruined by Jeokhyeonjae and Father again,
and I barely pulled through.
What are you saying?
With Jeokhyeonjae...
hating Hwangryong so much,
do you think they would have welcomed me?
If Father didn't die, I wouldn't have been hired.
Oh Soon-nam!
You bastard!
You wretched, ungrateful bastard!
How could do you this to Father?
Now what?
Are you saying you're happy now because you got hired?
Are you in your right mind?
This is why I hate Jeokhyeonjae.
This is why I'm sick and tired!
All right.
Work for Hwangryong if you want.
You can stay here if you want.
However,
you need to...
tell Mother yourself.
Mother...
is still waiting for you.
I just don't know...
how I'm going to...
tell her about this.
I already told her...
to forget she ever had a son like me.
How could you say that?
What if I told you...
to forget about Jun-yeong?
Would you be able to do it?
That's different!
She's of my blood.
Blood?
Yu-min,
I have never...
thought I was anything but...
a part of the Cha family.
We were raised in the same house,
like brother and sister,
so to me, you are...
a brother,
a friend,
and a husband.
But seeing you like this...
is too strange. It scares me.
It's the last show I'll be managing,
so I came up with a generous package.
What about the samples?
You'll find a mini-sized shampoo, treatment, essence, and some others.
Here are some extra gifts for customers on a first-come-first-serve basis.
You really are the best!
Yu-ri here will be taking over for me.
I have to work on developing the new brand.
I see. I look forward to working with you.
Is everything running smoothly?
Ms. So, where's the report?
Here.
Our products in home-shopping channels are seeing steady sales.
Currently, we are looking for new distribution routes for our haircare products.
Thank you for accepting Cha Yu-min.
You don't need to thank me for that.
The reason I accepted him...
was for the company.
I know.
With some training,
he'll become an asset for us.
He's talented and ambitious.
I'm glad you see that in him.
Frankly, Dad had me...
really worried.
It won't be easy to overcome his opposition,
though that is something he will have to overcome.
You're right.
Let me ask you one question.
You told me...
you're interested in Cha Yu-min as man.
I'm curious how deeply you feel about him.
I like him...
and want him to be my man.
If I can, I want him for myself.
Does he feel the same way?
Not yet.
However,
I believe he will soon.
All right.
Let's wait and see...
what kind of person he is and what he'll show us.
Father,
what am I going to do?
Should I...
just let Yu-min be?
Mother?
Jun-yeong,
were you waiting for me?
I didn't see you all day. I was wondering where you were.
You're the one that keeps me going, Jun-yeong.
By the way, Mother...
Do you think Father is still really mad at me?
What are you talking about? Why would he?
Because he hasn't been coming home...
To be honest,
I'm coming back from meeting him.
Really? When is he coming home?
He started a new job.
He's been working so hard.
He's going to be incredibly busy.
I see.
Still, he'll be back soon,
right?
Of course, he'll be back.
Yu-min started a new job and seems really busy.
Where?
Is he working for a hospital?
He told me he's working for a company.
He's going to stay in company housing for the next while.
Is he so busy that he has to live apart?
I hope Yu-min...
isn't feeling too pressured to take care of the family.
I have something...
to discuss with you.
Really?
That's such a relief!
All this wouldn't have happened without you.
Not at all.
I for one am happy to have Yu-min working with us.
I'll finally be able to relax.
Thank you so much!
Call me if you need anything.
There will be no need for that.
As long as Yu-min is happy,
that's all I need.
All right.
I'll see you again soon.
All right.
Someone sounds ecstatic.
What's with that song?
Mom, you're not bipolar or anything, are you?
Be quiet...
and pick one.
Hwaranjeong? Or Hwaranga?
Which do you think is better?
What are you talking about?
It's the name for the restaurant.
I'll be the boss.
You'll learn everything from serving the hall...
and become a manager later.
What restaurant?
Where did you find the money?
Don't worry about that.
I've secured a proper investor this time.
What is it?
I have something to ask.
I heard you asked Mother about opening a restaurant.
Well, I didn't say we should do it.
I was only giving a suggestion.
You know Bok-hui's cooking skills are too good to waste.
And the school is closed.
I understand how you feel,
but I'm against it.
Mother has gotten quite frail.
Once we open a store, she'll have to work nonstop.
Look,
why are worrying over things that haven't even happened?
Bok-hui just needs to teach us the recipe...
and supervise.
With you, me,
and Yu-na on the job,
it will be next to nothing.
Me?
I'm not working for no restaurant. I'm getting a job!
Also, isn't Mr. Cha also out of work?
If we all work together,
we'll be creating our own economy!
What about the capital?
We don't have the money for that.
I won't ask you for money,
so stop trying to hamper things.
It's not that...
You being so stubborn like this...
is exactly why Yu-min got sick of you and left.
How could a young person be so close-minded?
Forget it.
Do you think I'd bring this up without any investors?
What do you mean?
Who?
You'll find out later.
The company seems quite empty.
There's been a change in the security system.
What is it?
He seems familiar.
He's the president's secretary.
Do you know him?
I see.
- Never mind. - Let's go inside.
Let's go.
Hello.
Welcome.
I was sorry about last time.
We were a bit surprised, but I'm sure you had your reasons.
I am Ungil Food's CEO,
- Kang Un-gil. - Hwang Bong-cheol.
And right here...
I'm Charlie Kang, Ungil Food's sales director.
Charlie Kang?
You must be from abroad.
Yes.
Then, shall we get right into business?
My staff are...
really looking forward to working with Ungil Foods.
That was unexpected.
What is this joint production business?
They want to conjoin Hwangryong's distribution routes and our know-how.
It's a collaboration!
You need to use the right terms.
Whatever it is,
we'll be able to increase our overall sales...
through their distribution networks.
Hwangryong can start a new business without extra start-up costs.
Are you studying for a masters in business?
That's all fine and good,
but you should have told me first.
I am CEO, if only by title, and you made me look bad.
Really?
I'm sorry. I was just thinking about work.
About Mr. Hwang Bong-cheol...
I didn't like him all that much.
You barely even know him.
I think I've seen him somewhere.
That's probably because he's in the news often.
Hang on.
I've been really bothered by the man I saw in front of the office.
I can almost remember.
I'm sure you saw him while you went in and out of Hwangryong.
It's not that.
Listen carefully.
I can't afford to worry about the deceased.
I was almost ruined by Jeokhyeonjae and Father again,
and I barely pulled through.
What are you saying?
With Jeokhyeonjae...
hating Hwangryong so much,
do you think they would have welcomed me?
If Father didn't die, I wouldn't have been hired.
What reason would Hwangryong have to not accept Yu-min?
Do they feel guilty for what they did?
I'm sure Father knew something.
Is something the matter?
Mother,
can I ask you something?
Have you seen anything related to...
Hwangryong among Father's belongings?
I'm not sure.
Your father wasn't one to tell me details.
Why do you ask?
Is it all right if I take a look?
Sure.
I'm going to take a nap.
You go ahead.
Okay.
I found something in the well...
and gave it to the head master.
Didn't you know?
It looked like a set of books.
It seemed important.
(Strategic Adviser, Cha Yu-min)
Whatever it is you died for, it doesn't change anything, Father.
Now, I can't stop...
nor turn back.
They called the police?
There's nothing we can do in that case.
First, you can stop handing out the fliers.
All right.
You're up?
I brought some soup!
I didn't know what you'd like,
so I brought one beef bone soup, beansprout soup,
and one of each kind.
Hwang Se-hui...
I get scared whenever you call me like that.
If you're trying to keep me here and play house,
I don't intend to play along.
I'm just trying to eat here.
I haven't even started working. You doing this...
will only give rise to gossip.
All right.
I won't come anymore.
Stop acting like some good wife.
Cha Yu-min!
I'm saying bringing soup...
doesnâ??t suit you.
You should do...
what suits you.
I totally love this.
This washes hair really well.
Totally!
- Hello! - Hello!
- Good morning! - Hello.
Good morning?
What's so good about it?
You wench...
Mr. So?
Do you have gum disease?
What's wrong with your mouth?
I don't know. Maybe I should go to a dentist.
Do you think I won't know if you come at an interval?
I'm sure...
there's something between them.
It will continue to worsen.
You'll have six months at the most.
I have to do something.
I need to find Seon-woo and Mun-ho.
They have to be living somewhere.
My babies...
It's me, Yong Seon-ju.
I have something to ask.
She met with a friend from the US.
The navigation records in her car...
don't show any particular destination.
Also,
about Cha Yu-min...
Director Hwang...
got him a studio.
What?
What is she, his sponsor? Why those little...
- Will you wait and see? - Of course, not.
I'll take care of that.
Make sure Seon-ju doesn't know.
If she finds out,
Se-hui may lose her position.
Dad, when are you going to Jeokhyeonjae again?
- What? - Do you miss Jun-yeong again?
I didn't go to see her in the first place. Stop it!
Then why did you go?
I went to see her turtle.
That's right. Se-jong does have a lot of love for animals.
Really? Is that why...
he fed chocolate to the dog next door?
Uncle,
I gave it to the dog because it was delicious.
Geez!
Hey, Kang Se-jong!
He's back to his old ways.
- He'll have to return to Jeokhyeonjae and learn some manners. - Se-jong, your food!
Why did you do that?
He finished his bowl.
How are things at Jeokhyeonjae?
Lady Choe had a fainting spell,
but she's all right now.
What about the husband?
I barely saw him at the funeral.
I know.
Teacher Oh looks so exhausted.
Right!
It was that day!
I asked for the best in the field.
I hear that...
you used to be a cop.
Thanks to it, I still get to earn a living.
What is it you need me to do?
I'm looking for some people.
You have to find them for me.
About the thing you mentioned...
The thing you gave my father?
Right, that...
- You still haven't found it? - No.
Can you tell me...
what it looked like?
It looked like a stack of books.
Someone had wrapped them in a lot of plastic.
You found books inside the well?
I know.
Since someone wrapped it in plastic to protect it,
it probably wasn't put there by mistake.
We thought it was rather strange when we saw it.
I see.
That's one heavy sigh.
Seriously,
what's the matter?
I wanted to see if I could sink any further.
Teacher Oh,
I know things have been hard.
Still,
you should try to stay strong.
Mr. Gang, what brings you here?
Is Se-jong with you?
No.
Teacher Oh, I have to talk to you.
President Yong Seon-ju's secretary?
Yes.
My brother...
saw him come out of the head master's bedroom.
He said he had lost his way, but my brother didn't really buy it.
Knowing what's between Hwangryong and Jeokhyeonjae,
I thought I should tell you, so I ran over.
Mr. Gang,
did you bring your car?
Can you give me a ride?
Hello?
Hello, ma'am.
This is Oh Soon-nam from Jeokhyeonjae.
Hello.
I'm terribly sorry,
but there's an urgent matter I need to talk to you about.
It's fine.
I'll meet you.
Please come to my office.
Director Hwang!
Our new shampoo...
just got contracted to be sold at Olleh Mart!
- Really? - Yes.
The three months of work is finally paying off!
Well done, Ms. So!
Can you give me a list of all the supermarkets we've signed?
I'll report it to the president.
Yes, I will.
Thank you, Mr. Gang.
Are you going to go and confront her?
I have to.
Wow.
What was it you said?
Geum-go-bok-o!
It's geum-gon-bok-goe!
Even a beast can overcome his captor if he is sufficiently cornered.
You really are bold.
Seeing you go through so much hardship,
I was worried you might lose your vigor,
but it was all for nothing.
You should get going.
Remember, I am Oh Soon-nam.
This is Hwang Se-hui.
The president is free, right?
She's expecting a visitor soon.
A visitor?
There's some news I want to tell her.
Will she take long?
I'm not sure. It's Oh Soon-nam from Jeokhyeonjae.
I don't think she's here on business.
Seriously...
It's so hard to keep her happy.
Why is Cha Yu-min's wife meeting Mom?
(President's Office)
Hello, nice to see you again.
Welcome.
Today,
I asked to meet you as the daughter-in-law of Jeokhyeonjae.
I am...
the wife of Head Master Cha Man-pyeong's son,
Cha Yu-mine.
("Teacher Oh Soon-nam")
Hwang Se-hui! What are you thinking?
As far as I know,
Yu-min has been having some family troubles.
I'll take care of my husband's personal affairs from now on.
What do you want me to do now?
You're just going to end it?
This is my problem!
Hey, Cha Yu-min!
Stop it, Se-hui.
Isn't it about time you came to me?
Hwang Se-hui!
