(Episode 115)
Sir, I can prove it too. Do you want to see it?
Poor Cho Hee. I feel so sorry for her.
Stop talking nonsense.
Get back to work now.
But it's true just as I said. I'll show you.
Here. I took a photo of them together. Take a look.
Right. I get it now.
I see what's going on.
This is great. I've taken Professor Kang down.
Won Ju, I received the photo of my husband and my sister you sent.
What? "My sister"?
Then...
This girl is Cho Hee's sister?
Gosh. Could Cho Hee be lying again?
How should I check if that's true?
(Entrance)
(Bangsoo Construction)
What you can do for Mr. Yang right now is...
trust him.
That will give him the strength to get through this.
Do you really think so, Nam Gu?
It's always hard to be with someone you love.
It was hard for me and Cho Hee too. And for Kang Rim as well.
But if you two trust and love each other,
it's not impossible.
So cheer up, Bo Ri, all right?
- Oh, my. Look who's here. - Oh, my.
You're Jang Geum's youngest daughter, right?
Hello, Mr. Bang.
Hi.
Mr. Bang, how did you know we were here?
I recognized her from the photo right away.
I know every corner of this building, you know.
What photo are you talking about?
You don't have to know that.
Are you here to see Nam Gu?
- Yes, I am. - I see.
But why are your eyes puffy?
Did you cry?
He's the only son of the owner of AJT Group?
Yes.
To put it simply,
his parents disapprove of you because your family is not...
as rich or powerful as his family. That's what you mean, right?
Hearing the story alone makes me feel sick.
It's all because I'm not good enough for him.
Don't say that.
No one in the world is above or below other people.
Every single person...
should be cherished for their existence alone.
You're absolutely right, Mr. Bang.
So...
Are you deeply in love with this man?
Yes, I am.
I love him with all my heart.
Then that's all that matters.
If his parents make an issue of your family's social status again,
from now on, Bo Ri,
you just have to tell them about me.
Pardon me?
Mr. Bang.
Tell them you're the youngest daughter of...
Bangsoo Construction's owner.
I will act as your father.
From now on, I, Bang Bae Soo, have your back, Bo Ri.
So don't cry again.
Chin up.
Be confident in front of anyone.
Do you understand?
Good.
(Cometome)
(Chief Director Seo Cho Hee)
Yes. Come in.
Hi, Ms. Seo.
Oh, my, Mr. Ko. Hi, Eui Kyung.
Can I talk to you briefly?
Of course. Please have a seat. Eui Kyung, you too.
Yes, Ms. Seo.
Mr. Ko, what is this about?
As you know,
the position of Planning Team One's senior manager is vacant now.
Yes, that's right.
I'm considering appointing Ms. Yeo as the acting senior manager.
What do you think?
Of course, she's the right person for the job.
Considering her work experience and work performance,
I would happily agree with you...
if you even officially promote her to senior manager.
Eui Kyung, let's do our very best as we have.
Yes, I'll do my utmost best, Ms. Seo.
You two seem so enthusiastic.
Planning Team One is preparing to bid for Ruru Pharmaceuticals.
Can I expect good news?
Of course.
We'll do our best to make sure we land the contract.
I'll work even harder to help Planning Team One...
get the project, Mr. Ko.
Great. That's the spirit. I'll be counting on you.
Yes, sir.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Please try it. I made it for you, Father... I mean, Mr. Bang.
Oh, no. I already drank a lot today.
You should've asked me first.
This is a waste of resources too.
I'm sorry.
And Won Ju, how come you're so bad at recognizing faces?
You didn't recognize Cho Hee's little sister.
I'm sorry about that too. I got the wrong idea. It was wrong.
You should apologize to Professor Kang, not to me.
And you should be more careful with your words from now on.
Understood. I'll be careful.
Oh, boy. What should I do?
I can't just waste it since she already made it.
Hey, Won Ju. Have you finished cleaning your areas?
Oh, no, not yet. I'll go and finish it quickly.
- I'll get going. - See you.
You see, Won Ju works really hard.
I know what you're trying to say.
Pardon?
Whatever her intentions are,
she does what she does for the sake of Hyung Do and Sa Rang.
That's what you want to say, right?
Well, yes. That's exactly my point.
Since I, too, know why she acts the way she does,
I'll try not to make her feel like she's being treated unfairly.
Thank you, Brad.
And I realized that I didn't have to worry about Hyung Do.
It turned out that he had what it took to be an entrepreneur.
Now that I've seen how hard he worked to improve himself,
I'm planning to start giving him more important tasks.
My, I'm so glad to hear that.
You made the right decision, Brad.
Oh, my.
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
You must've worked harder than usual...
seeing that you're groaning.
I did something I shouldn't have done,
so I had to work harder to redeem myself.
Did you cause trouble again?
Why would you cause trouble every single day?
Come on. I did what I had to do in that situation.
Still, I'm impressed.
Honestly, I didn't think you would last this long.
I must say, you're one resilient woman.
You're the best.
I started working there to protect our forest.
I'd sacrifice my life if I had to in order to protect it to the end.
Won Ju.
You can stop protecting that forest.
What are you talking about?
You see,
I showed Dad my business proposal after revising it.
I'm sure he disapproved of it as always.
No.
He gave me the best compliment I've ever received in my life.
Stop lying.
I'm not lying.
Right after that, I got a call from the chief director...
of the housing business team at Bangsoo Construction.
I was offered to join the team to go forward with my plan.
Is that true, honey?
That means Father did recognize your abilities, right?
Of course.
Congratulations, Hyung Do.
I know that you've waited for this day more than anything.
So stop worrying about the forest.
Let's start living a peaceful and happy life.
And Won Ju, you should cherish and care more about yourself.
Honey.
Because you are...
my wife that I care about more than anyone else in the world.
Hyung Do.
Won Ju.
I love you.
Why would you make me cry?
Thank you for all your hard work.
You're the one who worked so hard.
I'm so cool, right?
Yes, you're really awesome.
Pa Ran, how's work at Kang Rim's office? Is it going well?
I'm not sure, since I just started working with him.
I'm sure that you're really cool...
when you're at work.
I think so too.
Thank you for saying that, Ri An.
You're not just pretty,
but also always say such kind words to others.
You think she would look cool?
She must get scolded by Mr. Prickly for being clumsy every day.
Hey, Seok Gu. How dare you call my brother-in-law "Mr. Prickly"?
Well... Then how about "Mr. Petty"?
Or "Human Sanitizer"?
- Seok Gu, you punk. - Seok Gu.
Uncle Seok Gu, Uncle Kang Rim is a little unusual,
- but he's not a weirdo. - You're right, Ri An.
Ri An is right. Attorney Seo is much more easy-going now.
Is it because his wife is pregnant?
They owe it all to the eel extract I gave him.
You should thank me for helping you get the job.
Nonsense.
I'll come by your office tomorrow if it's okay with you.
Okay. I'll let Attorney Seo know.
- Thanks. - Why, Cho Hee?
Are you going to tell him what I just said about him?
What?
Gosh, you brat. You're just so childish.
Cho Hee is not like you.
I wouldn't mind even if you told on me.
I fear nothing.
Gosh. You startled me.
My goodness. Stop it, you guys.
- Eat up now. - Gosh.
- Eat up, Ri An. - It's all his fault.
Don't do that at the table.
She scared the life out of me.
Your uncle gets scared quite easily, right, Ri An?
It's so heavy.
- Put it on the table. - Yes, Auntie Poong Geum.
There.
Hey, Bo Ri, what are you doing now?
Right. What are you doing, Bo Ri?
Well... I'm making porridge.
Why are you making porridge?
I heard that Jae Min had gastritis, Sun Hae.
Looks like he can't eat anything.
That's ridiculous. Hey, can't anyone in his family make porridge for him?
Why would he starve himself?
Well... The thing is...
What?
Did he ask you to make porridge for him?
No, it's not like that.
I can't believe this.
Who is it?
Hello?
Pardon?
Please hold on a second.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Ms. Oh, please continue.
No, Jae Min is not with me.
I'm telling you the truth, Ms. Oh.
I'm sorry.
- Oh, sorry. - That's okay.
Oh, no. Where did Bo Ri go while making porridge?
I think the phone call is going on longer than expected.
My goodness.
Oh, no. Look at this. It'll be scorched on the bottom.
Sun Hae, can you go and ask Bo Ri...
if she'll take the porridge to him right away?
- Sure. - Thanks.
Oh, gosh. That silly girl.
I lured Jae Min into running away with me?
Ms. Oh, how could you say such a thing?
It's not like that. Please believe me.
Yes.
I'll talk to Jae Min so that he can understand.
I'm sorry.
Sun Hae.
Bo Ri, what was that about?
Tell me.
Why did Mr. Yang pack up and leave home?
Gosh. This is so frustrating.
You've been acting strange lately.
Was that because of Mr. Yang?
Tell us what's going on immediately.
Jae Min's mother told us to enjoy going on dates, but...
Continue.
She only approved of Jae Min dating me.
What does that mean, Bo Ri?
That means... My gosh.
She didn't approve of you two having a serious relationship.
She wants you two...
to have a casual relationship and end it eventually. Is that it?
Bo Ri.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I didn't want you to be hurt because of this.
Gosh. How could she say such an obnoxious thing...
to someone else's precious daughter?
I feel like my blood is boiling. Gosh.
Bo Ri.
Despite what she said,
you kept seeing Mr. Yang or whatever he's called.
Auntie Poong Geum, we love each other.
Gosh, stop it. I don't want to hear that.
Then did Mr. Yang argue with his parents...
and leave home because of you?
Probably.
Mom, to be honest, I can understand his mother.
Therefore, I've been trying hard to be someone...
who is good enough for him.
Seriously. Hey, even so, this is wrong.
She wouldn't have called someone else's precious daughter...
and grilled you about where her son was...
if she were a decent, sane woman.
Auntie Poong Geum, please.
End it right now.
Mom.
Why must such a nice girl like you...
make such an effort to date him?
Break up with him right now.
Mom, it's not like I'm going to marry him now.
All I want is to save our relationship.
Bo Ri.
Mom.
I know you're not happy with it, but please don't disapprove of him.
It's so stressful for me too.
I don't know how great his family is,
but I...
can never let a man raised by such parents...
date my daughter.
Mom, please.
Bo Ri, you are...
my daughter who is most precious in the world to me.
Then how can I...
just watch my precious daughter get humiliated like that?
I will never...
approve of you dating him.
Never.
Mom.
(Bangsoo Construction)
I'm here to say goodbye to you all since I quit my job here.
I know. Your manager told me.
That you handed in your resignation.
Yes.
Thank you all so much for guiding me...
as my senior despite all my flaws.
Oh, man. This is so sad.
I didn't know you'd leave so suddenly.
Don't be so sad. It's natural for people...
to meet and part ways with one another.
Besides, it's not like we'll never see each other again.
Don't make such a sad face.
Well, you have a point.
It's not like we'll never see each other again.
I'll visit you at your house often.
You don't have to visit me so often.
No news is good news.
Let's believe that each other is doing well.
Let's just keep it that way.
I was excited to have someone to work with.
I'm sad that she quit working here.
Come on. I'll see you at home later.
Then will you take time off work for the time being?
I'm planning to study instead of working.
I'll try my best for my future.
For your future? What will you study?
I'm going to study hard with Sa Rang.
My first goal is to get admitted to a college,
which I failed 20 years ago.
Even Mother graduated from college.
I should at least enroll in college.
Why would she talk about me?
Anyway, it sounds like a good plan.
I'll be rooting for you, Won Ju.
That's a great plan. I'm proud of you.
I owe it all to my husband.
Hyung Do said he would actively support me.
That's so nice of him.
Thank you.
I can teach you English.
I'm an expert when it comes to expressions for real life.
Oh, right. That's a good idea.
I can tell you for certain that he's fluent in English.
Really? I didn't know Seok Gu was fluent in English.
Of course.
No problem. Of course.
Oh, my. Won Ju, I should take this. See you later.
Hey, Brother, who is it? Is it Cho Hee?
Hello?
Say some more English expressions.
Of course. No problem.
- Something else. - Do you understand?
- Your pronunciation is good. - Right?
I know, Bo Ri.
But I can understand why your mother said that.
But I'm so upset, Nam Gu.
I really didn't expect my mom to react that way too.
Calm down, Bo Ri. I'll figure something out for you.
Nam Gu, thank you so much, and I'm sorry.
Don't mention it.
Talk to you later, Bo Ri. Bye.
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
Cho Hee, it's so good to see you here.
Likewise.
Well... Do you like working here, Pa Ran?
Yes, I'm doing my best.
I hope Kang Rim doesn't give you a hard time.
Cho Hee.
Attorney Seo can be too thorough and tiring sometimes.
But I should put up with him.
There's no such thing as an easy job, you know.
Ms. Song, did you prepare the documents for tomorrow's trial?
I'm working on it, Attorney Seo.
See?
Yes. Please come in.
I came to the right place.
Oh, my. Mr. Bang.
What? Oh, my. Father.
Oh, hi, Cho Hee. You're here too.
I didn't know you would come to Kang Rim's office.
Well, I just stopped by to say hi since I was in the neighborhood.
I was going to go see you to thank you for your gift.
Oh, dear. You don't have to do that. It was just a small gift.
Come over to my house with your wife someday.
Let's eat together.
Yes, Mr. Bang.
All right.
By the way, do you have many clients? How's it going?
Well... Yes, many married couples get divorced these days.
Oh, I see.
So, do you make enough money?
Well, yes. I can't complain.
That's great.
Father. Well...
Aren't you here to say something important to Kang Rim?
What?
Well, that's right.
Shall I leave you two alone for a while?
No, that's not necessary. You don't have to do that.
Actually, I came here...
to make Attorney Seo an offer.
An offer?
I was wondering...
if you would be interested in joining my company's legal team.
Oh, I...
It would probably be a more stable job...
than running your own law firm in many aspects.
And we'll try to meet your demands as much as possible.
What do you say?
Kang Rim.
Thank you for your offer,
but I prefer to work alone.
Working in a team doesn't suit me,
so I've refused an offer from a law firm before.
Oh, I see.
Still, I want you to give it some thought before deciding.
And besides this offer, if you ever need my help,
do not hesitate to call me.
The same goes for you, Cho Hee.
I understand. Thank you for saying that.
Don't mention it.
What? He offered Kang Rim a position in the legal team?
Yes. Isn't that strange?
Father always draws a clear line between public and private matters.
That's true. He's so strict about it that he can come across as cold.
Despite that, he made Kang Rim such an offer.
No matter how much I think about it, I just can't understand him.
And I can't forget about what he said to Bo Ri.
He also asked you to join the board of advisors.
Cho Hee, could Mr. Bang...
have some reasons that we don't know?
Honey, could it be...
Could it be...
What?
Could Father...
have something to do with my dad's stolen patented technology?
In a good way or a bad way?
Well, I wouldn't know that.
Anyway, you think that's why...
Mr. Bang tries to help out you and your siblings, right?
That's all I can think of at this point.
If that's not the case, I can't understand him.
Or maybe there's another reason.
Although it happened more than 20 years ago,
I can't let the truth stay buried like this.
I should never do that.
(Traditional Tea House)
Oh, hello, Father.
You came early. Sit down.
I'm sorry for calling you out suddenly.
It's good for family members to see each other often.
Why did you ask me to see you?
Well...
I'll cut to the point and ask you a question.
Go ahead.
By any chance,
did you meet my late father when he was alive?
What?
(The All-Round Wife)
Can't you digest food? Or do you have no appetite?
- Sun Hae. - Do you have morning sickness?
How about I make some abalone porridge?
But Brad, you don't eat abalone porridge.
He made it by himself?
Chairman Bang will visit you tomorrow.
Why would he do that?
It's about none other than my will.
I wonder if that's the only reason.
