(Episode 107)
Seul A...
No way.
That can't be.
- Ms. Ma! - Gab Soon!
Seul A... What do I do?
She said she was going on a trip with Jun for a few days.
She said she'd be back soon.
Sun Joong, I must find her.
My daughter, Seul A! I must go find her now!
- Gab Soon! - Ms. Ma!
Are you all right?
No, Seul A.
No! Don't do this...
No.
Jang Geum, your appointment for the tests is tomorrow, right?
Yes, you'd have to man the store alone in the afternoon.
My goodness. The store isn't important.
Let's just close for a day so I can go with you.
Why close for something like this? It's no big deal.
What? It is a big deal.
Jang Geum, nothing is more important than your health.
I'm just getting some tests done.
And don't tell the kids, Poong Geum.
I don't want them to worry.
Gosh, seriously.
They should know though.
Poong Geum.
Okay, fine.
Let's go to bed.
Does Sun Hae have a craving for hot chocolate?
Yes. My wife likes hot chocolate, you know.
What? "My wife?"
I see.
Hey, Kang Rim. I was just wondering...
if you'd have some time tomorrow.
Tomorrow? I need to get ready for a trial.
Why do you ask?
The thing is, your mother...
Oh, it's nothing.
Then what about Sun Hae? Is she free tomorrow?
She has to go to school tomorrow.
She said she had a lot to take care of...
in order to cancel her leave request.
I see.
Why do you ask? Do you need to get something done urgently?
No, it's nothing.
You should hurry back to your room before your drinks get cold.
Oh, right.
Good night, Auntie Poong Geum.
You too.
- Sweet dreams. - You too.
What should I do?
I can't let Jang Geum go to the hospital all by herself.
You want me to take Mom to the hospital?
Yes. I wanted to go with her,
but your mom gave me an earful.
She said I had to man the store.
Mother has to go to the hospital? Why?
Hold on.
I feel bad asking you,
but I have no one else to ask, Cho Hee.
What about Kang Rim and Sun Hae? Do they know?
No.
Your mom actually told me not to tell you guys.
Really?
Yes, really.
I know that she's just getting some tests done,
but we need to ask the doctor exactly what's wrong with her.
Kang Rim is busy getting ready for a trial,
and Sun Hae has to go to school to cancel her leave request.
If I ask Bo Ri, she'll just tag along...
and leisurely stroll back home.
So what can I do? You're the only one...
I can count on, Cho Hee.
Okay. I'll make time for it.
I'm sorry. I know you have to work.
It's okay. Let's talk again soon.
All right.
Mother has to go to the hospital tomorrow?
Yes, she has to go in tomorrow for the additional tests.
Are you sure you can make time for it?
I do have an important meeting tomorrow,
but I want to be there for Mom,
so I'll figure it out.
How about I take care of it?
It's okay.
I'll tweak my schedule so I can go with her.
Come on. Letting personal business affect your work schedule?
Senior Manager Seo Cho Hee would never do that.
Just attend the meeting and focus on work.
I know. I should, but...
What about you though?
I can take a half-day.
Besides, I'm the eldest son-in-law.
I'll take care of Mother tomorrow.
I'll take her to a nice restaurant.
It's a date. What do you say?
Are you sure?
Just don't get jealous, Ms. Seo Cho Hee.
Thanks, honey.
No problem. It's nothing.
Oh, boy. I'm tired.
What should I eat with Mother tomorrow?
This is nice.
There, it looks good.
Do I look okay?
You look great.
You look dashing.
You take my breath away.
Really? My heart is about to burst out of my chest...
because you're so beautiful.
Anyway, when will you be home?
Oh, before dinnertime. What about you?
I think I'll be home pretty late.
But I'll have dinner at home.
You said you were looking for an intern. How's that going?
I posted an ad on a job search website,
so I'll find someone soon.
All right. Shall we head out together, hubby?
Okay, wifey.
(Side Dishes for Kids, 4 Packs for 10 Dollars)
We're heading out now.
What?
- My gosh. - You're going to work together?
Yes, she has to go to school today.
I'll see you later, Mother.
Okay, watch out for cars.
Okay. See you later, Auntie Poong Geum.
All right. Have a good day, Sun Hae. I mean, my niece-in-law.
- You too. - See you.
- See you later. - Have a good day, guys.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Jang Geum, isn't it so nice to see how happy they are together?
Yes, indeed.
I should prepare the ingredients for the day.
Jang Geum! Don't.
Just get ready to head out.
My appointment is in the afternoon. I have lots of time.
Hey, Cho Hee.
Hi, Mom. Your appointment is at 2 p.m., right?
What? How did you know?
Poong Geum, you little...
Sorry.
Mom, don't get mad at Auntie Poong Geum.
I would've been so hurt if no one had told me.
I won't tell Kang Rim and Bo Ri,
so don't worry.
I can go alone.
I don't want to bother you guys, knowing how busy you all are.
Come on. Nam Gu will take you there, Mom.
He wants to do it for you as your son-in-law.
It's okay. He's busy too.
Come on, please. He really wants to go with you.
So just let him, okay?
Yes, let him tag along.
Let your son-in-law take you there.
Anyway, be ready by 1 p.m.
He'll call you when he leaves to pick you up.
Okay?
All right.
Why couldn't you keep it to yourself, Poong Geum?
She's already worried.
You shouldn't have been so stubborn, then.
Had you said we could close for the day,
I wouldn't have told Cho Hee.
Anyhow, I'm so glad Nam Gu will pick you up.
Don't do this again.
Nam Gu is busy.
Okay.
Ms. Seo, we should get going to arrive on time for the meeting.
What? Right, yes.
It's our first official meeting at their head office,
so it won't be a short meeting.
Make sure you get all the receipts.
If you lose them like last time, it'll be a headache.
Okay, I heard you.
Eui Kyung, how about we grab a sandwich for lunch on the way?
Sounds good. I'm on a diet, so I have to eat light anyway.
Will you go straight home after the meeting?
I'll have to see.
I might.
But I might have to come back to the office first.
Shall we head out, Eui Kyung?
Yes, I'm ready. Let's go.
- Okay. - I hope the meeting goes well.
Thanks. See you.
Ms. Seo, don't forget the receipts.
Goodness, okay.
I should go on a diet.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the tone.
You mean brat.
You nasty wench.
Seul A, how could you...
How could you ditch me like this?
You're all I have.
Seul A.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Seul A.
Seul A...
Seul A.
(Bangsoo Construction)
My gosh, is it because you made it? This coffee is delicious.
Thank you, Won Ju.
All I did was add water to the instant coffee.
Father. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to tell me...
"Father?" I told you not to call me like that at work.
Have you forgotten already?
- I'm sorry. - Goodness.
Professor Kang, didn't you say you had to take a half-day today?
Yes. I have to take care of something later in the day,
so I need to take the afternoon off.
I see, perfect.
An executive meeting is scheduled for today.
I'd like you to attend the meeting on my behalf.
Sorry? An executive meeting?
Yes.
My gosh. Are you sure he can sit in the meeting, Brad?
Of course, why not?
The company needs help.
Look at you. You get to sit in an executive meeting.
Hey, cut it out.
What? What is going on?
Why would Cho Hee's husband attend the executive meeting?
Sir, is there anything I can help you with?
What? Even that goon wants to step in?
You?
Don't worry about helping others. Just do your job right.
I saw a bunch of cars...
parked outside the parking spots and over the lines.
What I'm saying is,
may I join the executive meeting too?
That was my question.
Just manage the parking lot well.
What? You're playing favorites.
You see, everyone is equal.
This company doesn't care about democracy!
Goodness, you're so loud.
At the meeting today, they'll have a discussion...
about the Hwangseok-dong redevelopment project.
Attend the meeting...
and use your expertise to advise them.
I'm not sure if I can be of any help though.
My gosh, no pressure.
I'll let the executives know.
My gosh. You should have...
brought a suit today, Nam Gu.
You can't attend the meeting wearing that.
What are you going to do?
Oh, should I get changed?
They're determined.
I see what they're trying to cook up together.
It's okay. Who cares what you're wearing?
No one can look down on you.
Not everyone can become an urban engineering professor.
The meeting won't run late, right?
I actually have to take my mother-in-law to...
I guess you're busy today.
Then you won't be able to attend the executive meeting.
No, it won't run late.
It'll probably end before lunchtime.
I see. Then it should be fine.
I feel so left out.
They keep excluding us.
Right, my Gangnam sister-in-law?
Yes, I guess.
Nam Gu, I hope the meeting goes well.
Show everyone what you can do, okay?
Okay, Mom.
The budget is way too small.
Should I increase the budget?
Hi, honey.
What? He's attending an executive meeting?
That's right. You know that...
Father likes to keep family and work separate.
I mean, he lectured me about it a moment ago.
Honey, we shouldn't let those things bother us anymore.
This business plan I'm writing is very impressive.
I can win Dad over this time. I'm sure of it.
Okay.
Don't worry. I'll see you at home.
Okay.
Executive meeting...
(Meeting Room, Bangsoo Construction)
The meeting is taking longer than expected.
Are they all going to skip lunch?
Gosh, I have to go pick up Mother. This is not good.
Hi, Nam Gu. Are you here already?
No, not yet.
Oh, I see.
Have you left already?
What? No, I was just about to head out.
Really? I see. Work is more important.
I'll head straight to the hospital, then.
It's fine. It's only a short bus ride away.
You don't have to come all the way here.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I thought I could get out early, but the meeting is running late.
Yes.
Are you sure?
Okay, then I'll meet you at the hospital.
All right. See you soon.
There's still some time left until the appointment.
The meeting will be over by then, right?
The truth is, my mother wants me to get married as soon as possible.
What?
So...
You mean,
she wants to arrange blind dates for you?
Mr. Yang, you're here.
Mr. Ko.
Can we talk?
Of course, take a seat.
The thing is...
I wanted to discuss some personnel decisions with you.
Right, some are due for promotion.
Exactly. I wanted to talk to you about Ms. Seo.
We couldn't promote her last time,
so I'm wondering what we should do this time.
What do you think?
I know you couldn't promote her because of me last time.
Well, it wasn't entirely because of you.
There were several reasons, you know.
Anyway, is everything okay?
You seem a little upset.
Don't worry. It's something I need to figure out on my own.
What?
All right.
As for Ms. Seo's promotion, I'll give it some thought too.
Okay, thanks.
(Soorim Hospital)
My appointment will begin shortly.
Did Nam Gu have to take care of something urgent?
(Soorim Hospital)
Ms. Oh Jang Geum, please come in.
Okay.
(Meeting Room, Bangsoo Construction)
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave...
Why isn't Mother picking up?
Thanks to you, we had such a fruitful meeting today.
I'm flattered.
We mean it.
Now, we understand why Chairman Bang spoke so highly of you.
That said, we'd like to officially invite you...
to join the project as an advisor.
What do you say?
- Me? - Why are you so surprised?
You're certainly qualified.
Well, but...
We look forward to working with you.
Oh, we're heading out to grab lunch together.
You can join us, right?
I'm sorry. I have an important appointment.
I'll join you next time.
Really?
Yes.
Okay, we'll have lunch together another time.
Let's go.
Okay.
Hi, Nam Gu.
Where are you, Mother?
I just saw the doctor. I'm going to get some tests done now.
Where are you? Are you here?
I'm really sorry, Mother.
The meeting ended just now.
I'll leave now.
It's okay. You don't have to come.
I'll go straight home after this.
No, I'll pick you up. I'm leaving now.
Okay.
The meeting went pretty well, don't you think?
Yes. You did great, Eui Kyung.
Thank you.
I always learn so much from you.
I really hope you get promoted to director this time.
Thanks for saying that.
Oh, I wonder if Nam Gu is at the hospital with Mom now.
What? When did my phone turn off?
I think the battery is dead.
Do you want to charge your phone?
Yes, thanks.
Yes, Mother. I just arrived at the hospital. Where are you?
What? You're done already?
My gosh, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Mother.
Don't be. I'm sorry.
I should've called you sooner.
Don't worry about me. You should go back to the office.
No, it's okay.
I'll just hop on the bus and head home.
Okay, see you soon.
Okay.
Bye.
I feel so bad.
Today's not my day.
Get it together, Nam Gu.
Right, she said she was at the bus stop.
Okay.
What?
Mother!
Mother, are you all right? Open your eyes!
Stay with me, Mother!
Hi, honey.
Are you with my mom now?
What?
Yes, okay.
Eui Kyung, you'll have to return to the office alone.
What?
Just pull over and drop me off. I'll take a taxi.
Where do you need to go? I'll give you a ride.
It's okay. Just drop me off.
Okay.
How are you feeling, Jang Geum? Does it still hurt a lot?
Mom, we should take you back to the hospital.
I just came from the hospital. Why should I go back?
It's just a minor bump.
My gosh. Must you be so stubborn?
You call this "minor?"
I'm so upset.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Why are you sorry? Don't be.
Hey.
Mom! Is it a serious injury?
No.
It's nothing serious.
They're making a fuss over nothing.
She tripped and fell at the bus stop in front of the hospital.
She only received first aid treatment and came home.
Can you please persuade her to go to the hospital?
Honey, what happened?
I couldn't leave on time because the meeting ran late.
What meeting?
I'll tell you later.
Nam Gu, you should've given her a heads-up...
that you were running late!
Bo Ri, I told him to focus on work and not to come.
So that's enough.
Yes, it's not like Nam Gu got there late on purpose.
Of course, he didn't do it on purpose.
However...
I'm sorry, honey.
It's okay. It must've given you a real scare too.
If only I hadn't been pulled into the executive meeting...
Executive meeting?
What do you mean?
Why were you pulled into an executive meeting?
What? Well...
Mr. Bang asked me to attend the meeting.
That's why...
So you were late for my mom's appointment...
because of that meeting?
Honey.
Honey, let me explain.
Cho Hee.
(The All-Round Wife)
Chairman Bang wants to meet you.
I thought it seemed suspicious.
Seul A abandoned me.
I was temporarily anemic.
Your fainting spells really concern me.
What happened to Ms. Oh?
Are you afraid that my brother would steal...
what is yours?
This won't do. We must teach them a lesson!
