(Episode 100)
Were you really going to end your relationship with all of us...
and leave?
I'm sorry.
I have...
nothing else to say to you other than that.
Sun Hae, that day...
I was so shocked...
that I couldn't think clearly.
Pardon?
You see,
I always...
thought of you as a part of my family.
I can't believe that we are in such a ridiculous situation...
like this.
Right.
Of course, it's not your fault.
I know that.
But it's true that my late husband...
passed away because of your father.
And that makes it almost impossible for me to accept you...
as a member of my family and move on as if nothing happened.
I know that, Ms. Oh.
Also, it's not just me who feels this way.
It must not be easy for anyone in my family...
to accept you.
I know.
But despite that,
I don't think I can push you away...
and cut you out of my life...
when you've done nothing wrong.
Ms. Oh.
Because you've been...
like my own daughter for a very long time.
So to be honest, I really don't know...
what to do.
(Cometome)
Oh, my. It's already 6 p.m.
Ro Mi, you're leaving work right on time as always.
What's wrong with it?
Right. Good job, everyone. Go home safely.
- See you tomorrow, Ms. Seo. - See you.
- See you tomorrow. - We'll be off, Ms. Seo.
See you all tomorrow.
Do you want to check out the place we saw before?
Yes, Mom.
With Nam Gu?
Yes. I know you two are busy, but please come with him.
I have something to say...
in front of everyone.
Okay. I'll go with him.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Jang Geum, what do you want to say?
Why did you gather us all up?
This makes me nervous.
I've thought about it a lot for the past few days.
What did you ponder on?
I'll be honest with you.
I can't seem to forgive Sun Hae's father.
Of course. How can any of us forgive him?
He's responsible for our dad's death.
But...
I don't want to cut ties with Sun Hae either.
Mom.
Just as Cho Hee said, Sun Hae has done nothing wrong.
Why must she pay for her father's wrongdoings?
Mom, are you saying...
Mom, are you saying that we should accept Sun Hae?
Yes. That's what I think.
And I want to hear what everyone else thinks.
Accepting her as a member of our family...
is not something I can decide on my own.
I honestly don't know what to say.
Whichever we decide to do, there will be problems.
That means you're not against it.
That's not what I meant.
I'm just saying that I don't know.
Kang Rim will say he's happy with it, obviously.
I'm sure that Cho Hee approves too.
What about you, Nam Gu?
Me?
Well... Bo Ri, I know that it's not an easy decision to make,
but I think that how Kang Rim and Professor Choi feel...
is what matters most.
Okay. I get it.
You mean, you're with Cho Hee.
And Mom made her decision before asking about what we thought.
That means I'm the only one who's against it.
Mom, you just wanted to ask about where I stood, didn't you?
Yes.
How you feel about this is most important to me.
If that's the case, my answer is no. Are we good now?
And why would you all make me look bad?
You all must be happy since it seems so easy for you to forgive him.
Bo Ri, it's not like that.
Mom, it pains me too...
to know that we can't see Sun Hae as we used to.
But...
Even so, this is not right. You know that.
Even you must be like this? What's your problem?
- Bo Ri. - What?
Don't ask me any more questions.
- Bo Ri. - Bo Ri.
Bo Ri, wait.
Mom, I'll talk to Bo Ri.
Jang Geum, it must be harder for her to accept all this.
Cho Hee and Kang Rim at least made some good memories with their dad.
But Bo Ri doesn't have a lot of memories of him.
That's true.
She must be more resentful and feel a bigger void than the others.
She must have more scars in her heart too, Mother.
Can you please leave me alone, Cho Hee?
I understand how you must feel, Bo Ri.
I think I know how you feel.
You know how I feel? Really?
No, you have no idea.
When I was in school,
kids used to tease me about not having a dad.
How would you know how that felt?
Bo Ri.
Whenever I went on about how much I wished Dad had been with us,
Mom just said she was sorry while crying.
That made me so sad.
I was so upset.
How would you know how I felt?
Right. I do know that it's not Sun Hae's fault.
After yelling at Sun Hae that day,
I felt terrible and regretted doing so.
But I can't just forget about it...
and accept her as a new member of our family...
as if nothing happened between the two families.
It's too much. I can't bear it.
Now that I know the truth about her father,
seeing her face alone would cause me great pain.
I understand what you're saying.
But Bo Ri.
We can't jump to a conclusion based on a few documents.
There are so many things that don't add up.
What do you mean by that?
That's why Kang Rim and I are looking into what happened.
Can't you be a little more patient and give us some time?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know what could be the real truth.
But I think we should get to the bottom of it.
And of course, during the process,
we might struggle even more.
But Bo Ri,
let's wait. Okay?
We're not doing this only for Sun Hae.
We're doing this for our entire family too.
Mom, I'm really sorry.
And...
Thank you.
I'm still a little upset with you.
That's how all mothers feel toward their children.
I'm sure you can see that.
Yes, Mom.
What changed my mind despite everything...
wasn't you, but Sun Hae.
So make sure that Bo Ri won't be hurt anymore...
because of this.
I'll do that.
And tell Sun Hae...
that I want to see her tomorrow.
Pardon?
Just tell her to come to the store.
Don't tell her anything else.
Yes, Mom.
What's going on?
Choi Sun Hae who had disappeared suddenly showed up again.
And Ms. Oh only gazed at that wench with a sad face...
while knowing everything.
She should've pulled her hair, and it wouldn't have been enough.
Why hasn't this private detective called me yet?
How hard could it be to find out how Choi Hyung Nam looked?
I need to confirm that...
so I can leave this town soon.
It seems that I won't get the money she promised.
Pa Ran, have you gotten a job yet?
Stop asking. I'm already upset.
Don't be too picky. Start your career at any company.
One must have a job to be treated with respect.
Haven't you learned anything from how I used to be treated?
Stop it. It hasn't been that long since you got a job.
Oh, my. You're home.
Nam Gu and Cho Hee, I'm here.
Pa Ran, I see you quite often these days.
Mom and Dad, welcome home.
Ri An, what are you doing up this late?
I'm going to study a little longer with Auntie Pa Ran.
By the way, can I go to Sa Rang's house tomorrow?
Sa Rang's house?
That sounds great, honey. Her winter break is almost over.
Let's let them play together.
Would that be okay?
Ri An, then shall I take you to Sa Rang's house tomorrow?
Seok Gu, you should go to work.
Come on. I can take a day off work as an employee.
So Cho Hee, I'll take care of Ri An.
Then I'll be counting on you.
By the way, Cho Hee, why do you look so downhearted?
Are you worried I might do something to make Hyung Do upset?
Of course not. Why would I?
Seok Gu, I'll go to my room now.
Oh, okay, Cho Hee.
Hey.
What's with her?
You're just so tactless, you brat.
Shall we study again now?
Okay, Auntie Pa Ran.
Gosh. Why did he call me tactless?
He thinks I'm his punching bag.
Bo Ri, are you sleeping?
Can I talk to you briefly?
Bo Ri.
It's not that I'm upset with you.
Then what is it?
I'm just upset...
that such a horrible thing happened to us.
And...
I hate that I have no choice...
but to be this mean to Sun Hae and my family members.
So Mom...
Don't worry about me.
I don't want to...
make everyone in our family worry...
or break their hearts.
Try to understand how I feel and leave me be for the time being.
I'm asking you.
All right. I understand. You should go to sleep now.
There.
I'm so excited to see it when it's done.
Ri An, my dad makes great waffles.
- Really? - Yes.
All right. Let's take a look.
It's done. It's cooked to perfection.
Here you go.
- This is for you. - Thank you, Dad.
- Enjoy. - Thank you, Mr. Bang.
Now, let's make another one.
Stop. Wait.
Pardon?
How about you let me make one for you this time?
You want to try it?
Yes. Just sit back and relax while I'm making it.
- All right, then. Here. - Okay.
I'm going to flaunt my skills.
- Here. - Okay.
The batter looks good.
By the way, how's Won Ju at work?
Does she do her work well?
You mean, my sister-in-law in Gangnam?
Yes.
Come on. You don't have to worry about her.
I'm the guardian of my sister-in-law in Gangnam at work.
I've been doing everything in my power...
to make it easy for her to work there.
That's so kind of you. Thank you.
Please help her a lot at work.
She may look big and strong on the outside,
but she's very tenderhearted.
I was so worried if she could settle in at work without a problem.
What? My sister-in-law in Gangnam is tenderhearted?
Why... You don't think she is?
That's not what I'm saying.
I guess she could come across that way from your perspective.
Anyway, don't worry. Be happy. You know what I mean, right?
Yes, of course. Okay.
Also, I wasn't going to say this because I thought...
it might sound like I was bragging.
You see, when she was locked in the storage,
she wouldn't have been rescued so easily if it hadn't been for me.
But you didn't get her out of there, as far as I know.
Come on. What are you talking about?
I basically saved her life.
When I was in the Philippines,
I was once locked in a walk-in freezer too.
So I knew how she must've been feeling in there.
You have been locked in a walk-in freezer?
I was trapped in there for eight hours.
For eight hours? And you survived without any serious damage?
Of course, I was totally fine when I got out.
One of my nicknames is Iron Man... No, that's not it.
I mean, Ice Man Kang Seok Gu.
I saved the lives of my coworkers who were also stuck in there.
You saved their lives?
Yes, I did. You see, a true hero...
never leaves anyone in despair alone. That's right.
They were all exhausted, and they were about to give up hope.
- But I raised them up. - Oh, my.
I told them that we should get out of there by any means.
Oh, I see.
Thinking about that moment, I feel the fire in my heart once again.
My brother in Gangnam, my heart is on fire.
Uncle Seok Gu, what's this smell?
Smell?
Yes.
The waffle smells like it's burning.
Gosh. It got burnt so quickly.
Oh, boy. Exactly.
It was the waffle that was burning, not your heart.
Oh, man.
Uncle Seok Gu, I'm hungry. Make another one for us, please.
Well, it will take some time, Sa Rang.
(Bangsoo Construction)
Really?
Artist Baek refused to meet anyone from my company.
How did you convince him to meet you?
He came to my school for a special lecture before.
I met him briefly when he came.
So I visited him at his workshop in Igang-dong without calling him.
Fortunately, Artist Baek remembered me,
and spared me some time.
Oh, my. I see.
What did you talk about with him?
He said that he wanted it to be in the middle of the center...
because he had made it for children.
He thought the center of the community center...
would be the perfect spot for kids to see it when passing by.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Why didn't he explain it to my employees?
Had we known, we would've come up with some other ideas.
That being said,
how about you create a place for children...
outside of the community center?
Place Artist Baek's sculpture in the center,
and display some sculptures made by children,
to make the place look like an art gallery. Something like that.
Oh, I see. Incorporate art into the residents' daily life?
That's a great idea.
It suits the basic concept of Noble River Vill.
I hope my opinion can be of help, Mr. Bang.
Of course, it's helpful.
I should go up to my office to tell everyone about your idea.
By the way, Professor Kang.
Yes, Mr. Bang.
I think you should run your own business...
instead of teaching at a college.
No way. Not everyone can run a business.
I don't say this just to anybody.
I only say it when I see someone who has what it takes.
In my opinion, you're cut out to be a businessman.
- I don't think so. - Come on.
Won't you come with me?
Pardon?
Let's go to my office right now.
You should explain your idea to make it easier to understand.
Oh, yes, sir.
Gosh. What was that about?
Cho Hee's husband has already made his first move?
What do I do?
Oh, my. This model must have cost you a fortune.
Right?
I'm impressed. You recognized it.
It was quite expensive since it was a limited edition product.
It looks amazing. My brother in Gangnam is so cool.
Can I go golfing with you some time?
Just as other brothers do.
That sounds great. Let's play golf together some time.
Really? Are you serious? That's a promise.
Of course. A real man always keeps his words, you know.
You sure are one. Also, I'm warning you in advance.
I may have burned the waffle,
but I won't be like that when playing golf.
You should never let your guard down.
That's great. I'll look forward to seeing your skills.
- Oh, my. I should take this. - Sure.
Yes, honey.
Honey, we have a problem.
It seems that Nam Gu advised on the Noble River Vill project.
And it worked.
What do you mean by that?
Father said that Nam Gu would be a great businessman...
while complimenting his idea.
What if Father hands over his company to Nam Gu?
What would you do then?
Why are you talking nonsense?
I'm not talking nonsense.
That's not all.
Father told him to explain it to the directors.
They went to the chairman's office together.
He went to the chairman's office?
Yes, just as I told you.
Honey? Are you there?
I... Yes, I'm here.
Seok Gu and Ri An came over. So I can't talk for long.
Let's talk about it later. Okay. Bye.
Was that my sister-in-law in Gangnam?
Oh, that was... I mean, yes.
She said she had missed my face looking like Hyun Bin's.
That's why she called me.
You two are so sweet to each other after many years of marriage.
I'm jealous.
I know how to make her happy.
Give me that. Gosh, seriously.
- I'm sorry. - Darn.
I knew it.
Thank goodness I got a job here.
We would've been in big trouble without knowing what was going on.
Hold on. What should I do?
I know what to do.
I'll spy on Mother right by her side to find out...
what kind of ruse he's cooking up.
(Bangsoo Construction)
Ms. No, have you finished cleaning your areas?
Of course, I did, ma'am.
I made sure the floor was squeaky clean.
Even a fly would slip on it.
Oh, no. I hope no one will slip and fall.
Pardon me?
You removed the water, right?
Come on. Of course, I did.
I made sure the floor was clean and completely dry.
Well...
I'm giving you this since you got it done properly.
You seemed to like this the other day.
Get it together.
You shouldn't let her fool you with this.
Why? You don't feel like eating it today?
It's not like that. Thanks for this. I'll enjoy it.
How about we share it as we did last time?
No. I'm good.
Come on. Don't be like that. Let's share it.
We bonded while being locked in the storage.
Well... I said I was fine.
Oh, come on, Ms. Na. Let's share it.
Wait, Ms. Na.
Come on, Jang Geum.
Take it easy, will you?
Goodness. I'll do that. Take a break.
- My gosh. - I prefer to keep myself busy.
Gosh, you're so stubborn. I'll do it.
Ms. Oh.
Jang Geum.
Hi, Sun Hae. Come on in.
- Oh, no. Ms. Oh. - Jang Geum.
- What should we do? - Ms. Oh, wake up. Please.
What do we do? Jang Geum. Hold on. We should...
- Should we call an ambulance? - What should we do?
What should we do?
Help me carry her on my back.
What? Oh, gosh.
- Hurry up, please. - Gosh.
- Okay. I'll do that. - Help me.
Jang Geum, wake up. One, two...
Come on, Jang Geum. Wake up.
Jang Geum.
(The All-Round Wife)
It would've been much worse if it hadn't been for Sun Hae.
Don't worry and go home.
So make sure to find out the truth, Kang Rim.
Find something to prove that it wasn't Mr. Choi.
If only we could find someone who knows what happened...
This is my dad's notebook.
I found the phone number of the person...
who was working at Dad's company as a bookkeeper at the time.
Does that mean that this person is...
