- Are you okay?
- The baby, the baby...
A pregnant lady collapsed and her water broke.
Here?
Bongchun-dong.
Hold on.
The ambulance is coming.
- Help me, please.
I'll be here.
Are you okay?
What's wrong with her?
Is she sick?
- I told her to go by herself, and that's weighing on me.
- (Un-gil) Wow, you really care about Ms. Oh.
Are you her fan?
- Fan?
That's not it, but Hwangryong and Jeokhyeonjae
have a complicated history, so you never know.
Taxi.
- I heard about Mr. Cha.
- Yes.
- You know Cha Yu-min will be working at Hwangryong.
- Yes, I know.
- Why did you want to see me?
Is this about your husband?
- Have you sent your secretary to my father-in-law's funeral?
Someone saw your secretary at our house.
He saw him coming out of my father-in-law and mother-in-law's room in a hurry.
He didn't seem like he came to pay his respects.
He didn't meet the chief mourner.
- Are you saying that my secretary did something suspicious?
- As I've told you before, I think a lot of the things that happened
in Jeokhyeonjae are relevant to Hwangryong Group.
Isn't it natural to suspect your secretary
in this situation?
- I'll check what was up with my secretary.
But I find it difficult to understand you.
Suspecting Mr. Park is suspecting me.
Then what's the meaning of coming to me to confirm that?
- Before my father-in-law passed away,
I know you two met.
Can you tell me what you two talked about?
- (Man-pyeong) Can you wait a little longer?
I'll visit again soon.
- Nothing special.
It was about our company
putting out a revenge article.
I remember him saying that it's a misunderstanding that Hwangryong
is the reason Jeokhyeonjae went through so much trouble.
- So you concluded that Hwangryong and Jeokhyeonjae
had nothing to do with each other?
- I'll say that.
There's definitely something more.
Why would Ms. Oh meet Ms. Yong?
- Maybe she was trying to lobby her after her husband got the job?
- What if,
Ms. Oh or Cha Yu-min knows about those books...
Then the problem gets serious.
Why her, why?
(Phone ringing).
Hwang Se-hui.
Did you know Cha Yu-min was married?
Whether you knew or not, it's a problem.
If you knew he was married, it's a matter of your morals,
and if you didn't, it's a matter of stupidity.
- I knew.
But introducing him to the company is nothing personal.
Loving him was out of my control.
I'm sorry.
More than anything else, he wants to end his marriage.
That's why he lives away from home.
- Nothing changes no matter what.
As you said, I won't let his personal issues be a problem at work.
But he's not to be considered a match for you.
- If this is because he's married...
- Never. Married or divorced, never.
- What's important is my heart, mom.
Please don't neglect it, not even you.
- Did you escort Ms. Oh nicely?
- What escort.
I just took her there.
Just pick one.
Won Se-yeong or Ms. Oh?
What are you saying, you're nuts.
It's true
When were you ever interested in
where women go or what they eat?
This situation is obviously too much.
- You're not making any sense.
She has a family and she's Se-jong's teacher.
- Well, forbidden love is the most romantic.
- Hey, Kang Un-gil.
- (Hwa-ran) Hey, try your best.
It's all shaken.
- What do you expect from a camera on your phone.
So put ginger and garlic in
the cloth and brew them?
- Yes.
Brew the red pepper flakes, too, since we want the nice color.
- Brew the vegetables for 20-30 minutes and let it cool.
Okay, let it cool.
- I'm back.
- Okay.
- I'll do it, go inside and rest.
- Hey, no.
Bok-hui's telling us her secrets.
- What's your problem?
- I told you.
Bok-hui shouldn't overstrain herself.
- Making Kimchi is not that a big deal.
Bok-hui is the first daughter-in-law of the first family.
She used to serve a million guests a day.
- When she was young.
- Just say it.
You're jealous that I might get all the Cha family's recipes.
- What?
What are you saying.
- Then why are you so angry?
- That's because...
Your intentions are so obvious.
You're preparing to open a restaurant, step by step.
- Who do you think you're shouting at?
Are you done?
- No, I'm not.
I'm against starting a restaurant.
I won't let Bok-hui go through so much trouble.
I'm sorry.
- Hey.
Hey, where do you think you're going?
Are you ignoring me?
- Hwa-ran, let go.
- You're treating me this way because I'm not your real mother-in-law.
- Hwa-ran.
Let go of my mother.
What are you doing?
- Wow.
Now even the little one thinks I'm nothing.
Yeah.
What a great daughter you raised.
Such a cheeky little thing, just like you.
- Hwa-ran!
- What are you crying about?
What do you have to cry about, huh?
- Bok-hui.
- The restaurant's no trouble for me.
Let's give it a whirl, what's the big deal.
Like Hwa-ran said, I can supervise.
- No.
I'll try my best to get a job again.
So please don't say that.
- We'll try and if it's too much, we'll stop.
I want to be helpful, not burdensome.
- Bok-hui.
No.
(Knock on the door).
Staying here this late, huh.
Can I sit?
- Please.
So you managed to get that position.
I got to give you credit for your tactics.
What would your father think if he were alive.
Well, historically, many fathers and sons
go against each other.
But I guess he never said anything negative
about Hwangryong while he was alive.
Because he was such an educated man, I suppose.
- What do you expect me to say?
I don't want to talk about a man who passed away.
- (NA) I'm asking if that father of yours left anything before he died.
- If you have nothing more to say, I have a lot to do.
- Don't overwork yourself.
Haste makes waste.
Cha Man-pyeong couldn't have left Cha Yu-min
like that if he knew about the books.
His son is crawling into the cave of the enemy.
- Never. Married or divorced, never.
- (NA) I have nowhere to hide, nowhere to go.
It's about being dad's puppet again or not.
Hwang Se-hui.
I'm not staying here if you do this.
What's going on?
Are you okay?
- I'm sorry.
In a vacant house.
But I can't cry freely at home.
- What upsets you.
- I had a guy when I was 21.
I think I loved him.
It's so long ago, so it's kind of blurry, but I think
I was so happy and warm next to him.
Nothing to worry, nothing to be sorry about.
I was who I truly was.
- Are you crying because of him?
- No.
I'm not good enough to cry for others.
I'm sickeningly selfish.
- Everyone is selfish.
- No.
You love your daughter terribly.
I...
I love myself more than anything else.
If someone hurts me, I can't let him be.
- Hwang Se-hui.
- I'll leave before you tell me to.
I'm done crying now.
Cha Yu-min.
Succeed.
Prove yourself so that nobody, not even my parents, could ever say anything.
- I will.
- Were you with Cha Yu-min all night?
Hwang Se-hui, are you out of your mind?
- I'll marry him.
- What?
- Enough now.
I'm not your robot.
- You think your mother would allow it?
If she knows he's married?
- She can't say no.
I have a past worse than that.
- What?
- I need some coffee.
Something wrong?
- Well...
- (Bong-cheol) What are you talking about?
- You know what.
What I've done after I left home.
Be like this, I'll tell it all.
- You were seriously up to something?
- What are you two doing?
- Uh...
Nothing.
- You're yelling about nothing?
- Sorry.
I didn't come home last night.
- You didn't?
What were you up to?
- She stayed up all night handing over business to Cha Yu-min at the office.
I gave her a good talking-to so you don't have to.
- Watch what you do at work.
- And you, get ready quick and come out.
-(NA) What difference does it make if she remembers me.
I'll make Yu-min love me more.
I'll make him want to trust me more.
Push it further, Hwang Se-hui.
(Phone ringing).
Father, it's Jun-yeong.
- Yes.
I thought it was you.
How have you been, dear Jun-yeong?
- I know you're busy, but I wanted to know how you were.
- I'll answer your calls no matter how busy I am.
- Um, tomorrow.
- Hello.
- Who were you talking to?
Why suddenly hang up?
- It was father.
- Then why would you hang up?
- I thought you might not like it.
- What are you talking about.
Why wouldn't I like to see you talking to your father.
- He's busy and I feel like I'm interrupting.
I'm sorry.
- Jun-yeong...
It's a castle.
- Do you like it?
I got it in a hurry so I wasn't really sure.
- Well.
Yu-min is very picky about where he sleeps, so I was worried.
I'm relieved you put so much thought into this.
- I thought he might be, that's why I brought him here.
Please don't tell Yu-min.
He doesn't know I'm meeting you.
- I get it, don't worry about it.
You told me to tell you if I need anything.
- Do you need something?
- There's an awesome business plan.
I was wondering if you could invest in it.
Maybe we can turn Jeokhyeonjae into a restaurant.
Bok-hui can really cook.
And we have sauces and pastes more than a hundred years old.
How's that?
Doesn't that sound like good business?
Your father's Hwangryong Distribution should
be interested in this idea.
- I guess so.
But there's a problem.
- What problem?
- I can't decide on company investments on my own.
Yu-min not being a family and all.
It's hard to invest such money to an outsider.
- Family?
- I want to help right away.
But Yu-min has a family.
And it's not easy to tell my parents.
- Um, Ms. Hwang.
While we're on the subject, I have to ask you this.
Are you really thinking about marrying Yu-min?
- Hwa-ran, I thought you would understand me.
- Does Yu-min want that, too?
- Of course.
I couldn't have come this far by myself.
But it's hard for Yu-min to file the papers
since he has a daughter.
- (NA) Wait a second.
This, this...
(NA) Confucius had said, a king without patience will let a country fall into a void,
a noble without patience will die from punishment,
brothers without patience will separate from each other,
parents without patience will make a child lonely,
and a man without a patience will never lessen his worries.
That's how heavy the word 'patience' is.
I'll protect my family and Jeokhyeonjae.
Neglecting your husband who left home.
You're just scrubbing the floors.
- He's really busy, Hwa-ran.
That's what you think.
How can you be so slow.
If you can't support your husband, you have to step back.
- What?
- Never mind.
Keep on scrubbing.
Patience.
- If she doesn't get it, I have to be straightforward.
- What?
- Yeah, there's a rock where there should be gold, I can do it.
Let's do it.
Do it.
- Talking to yourself is a condition, you know.
- Shut up.
Go to sleep.
- Hmph.
Did you make the seaweed soup?
- Sorry?
Bok-hui, do you want some seaweed soup?
- Honey, I know you're busy, but you can't forget about your kid's birthday.
Did you forget about it?
- Oh my, what should I do.
- I'll go down to the mill later on, so make the soup first.
- Rice cake?
- I was too tired to make sorghum rice cake coated with mashed red-beans
this year, so the three gods governing childbirth might get mad.
Plus, she's thin as a wafer.
(NA) Don't think about anything else.
Just think about Jun-yeong.
(Text alarm).
You know it's Jun-yeong's birthday.
Come eat with us.
She's waiting for her father.
- Will you keep doing this?
- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to look, it was just there.
I left my car keys here.
I'll just get them and leave.
Have you thought about your daughter's presents?
- Jun-yeong's birthday?
It's today?
- Yes.
She always told me to come to Jeokhyeonjae on her birthday.
- What a memory, Se-jong.
- Yeah.
But Se-jong, people spend birthdays with their families.
Wouldn't it seem rude if we go there?
- Ignoring an invitation is rude.
Let's go, now.
Huh?
I'm not sure if we should be here,
but we came to congratulate Jun-yeong on her birthday.
- You used to say you're a Jeokhyeonjae family.
Welcome.
Welcome, Se-jong.
- Welcome.
We missed your cooking, anyway.
- Oh, you did?
Happy birthday, Jun-yeong.
- Wow...
Thank you.
But it's too big of a gift, can I take this?
- Oh, it's just a big box.
There's not much in it.
- Se-jong, don't you have a gift for Jun-yeong?
- Friends don't need to exchange gifts.
Won Se-yeong?
- What are you doing, Se-jong?
Let's have stir-fried rice cake together.
You don't have to do this.
- I had to get my car out of there, nonetheless.
- We could have left separately.
- This is the last time.
I won't bother you anymore,
and I hope you don't have issues with your family anymore.
So go and impress everyone.
Hey, here.
- What is this?
- You'll know once you read them, and stop withstanding.
Sorry?
- What a way to block a man's future.
Why do you hang on to a man who doesn't love you anymore?
He wants it as soon as possible.
Look at you.
Is she going to argue with Yu-min about this?
No, what do I do.
No.
God damn it.
- This is a gift from me.
It's a bag.
Girls like bags.
- Thank you.
- Hurry up and go inside, and be a good dad.
