(Episode 28)
You get paid to certain roles?
So? How much did they say they'd pay you?
It's none of your business.
Right, it is none of my business.
But a gig like that...
Why? If I tell you how much they pay me,
will you give me the money?
- What? - You won't do that, right?
Then whatever I do,
please mind your own business.
Seul A.
You see,
I'm busy trying to make ends meet.
I don't have time to deal with you poking your nose into my business.
I'll be off, then.
(Dean Hong Moon Gil's Retirement Ceremony)
What are you going to do with all your stuff?
Organize them or put them away.
Gosh, it looks so messy.
Come on. I don't even have a lot of stuff.
But isn't it nice to spend so much time with me after years?
Tell your wife to move back to Korea.
Husband and wife must live together.
It's okay, Mom.
Both my wife and I do our own thing.
We're very cool like that, you know?
What's he saying?
Goodness. I don't know, you punk.
My gosh. Your English is pretty good, Mother.
By the way, what did you and Cho Hee talk about earlier?
It's a secret.
See... What?
A secret.
Let's see.
How's your wound? Are you okay?
Yes, it's just a small scrape.
And my mom said...
my wounds have always healed very quickly since I was a baby.
Sa Rang, thanks so much for everything today.
I really mean it.
Come on. What are friends for?
By the way, are you really not bothered...
by the fact that I live in Myeongjin-dong?
Why should I be bothered by that?
And do you want to come over and hang out at my place?
Can I?
I want to invite you over as well,
but my place is very far.
How far is it?
And I can ask my dad to pick me up.
That's true.
Then I'll see you at the academy tomorrow.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Is Myeongjin-dong that far?
Where is it?
I can't find it.
Stop eating! I'm peeling them for Sa Rang.
I've only had three pieces.
Don't lie to my face. You've been eating nonstop.
Sa Rang, why did you come out?
I was going to peel some fruit and bring it to you.
I can't find Myeongjin-dong,
so I wanted to ask Dad.
What? Myeongjin-dong? Why do you want to know?
A friend of mine lives there.
You have a friend who lives in Myeongjin-dong?
Yes. She used to live in Gangnam, but her family moved there.
From Gangnam to Myeongjin-dong?
Her family must've gone bankrupt.
Do people move when their family goes bankrupt?
Of course. And keep your distance from people like that.
Otherwise, they may ask you to buy them this and that.
She'd never do that.
Hey, Sa Rang. Did you hurt your hand?
No, I just tripped and fell.
You're such a crybaby.
You tripped and fell but didn't tell me?
Let me see.
Look at this, honey. This is not a small scrape.
Sa Rang, did you get into a fight with someone?
Be honest. You didn't get this from tripping and falling.
Sa Rang!
Kids can fight and get hurt a little.
It's no big deal. You don't need to call them.
If you don't know anything, just get out.
Ye Na's mom...
has the Gangnam academies in the palm of her hand.
This is the perfect chance to get the upper hand.
Fine. Do whatever you want, then.
Hello?
Ye Na's mother, right?
This is Sa Rang's mother.
Sa Rang got hurt because of Ye Na.
Sorry?
It was because of Kang Ri An?
She lives in Myeongjin-dong?
How much prettier will you get?
I don't have time or the money to get facials,
so I should take good care of my skin.
I still look pretty good for someone who does...
nothing other than at-home skincare routine, right?
By the way, where did you and Seok Gu go earlier?
Oh, that. We had a talk.
About what?
You don't need to know. It'll only make you uncomfortable.
All right. I really hope you two can get along.
Right.
Ri An had dinner, right?
Of course.
Cho Hee, Ri An said...
What did she say?
She asked me if she could drop out of the academy.
The academy?
Yes.
Right, it must be stressful to go all the way there.
See? That's the biggest reason we have to move back to Gangnam...
as soon as possible.
Where are you going?
I want to call my mom.
I want to know if she's feeling any better.
Just call her here.
Give me a break. My mom and I have our secrets.
Why does everyone in the family have so many secrets?
My gosh.
I should get a Botox injection.
Botox? It'll cost you a lot.
Come on.
Hey, I may be going on a blind date with a rich heir soon.
Who cares how much it costs?
Good point. I should get Botox too.
I want to make sure...
my face is wrinkle-free before my meeting with the agency.
My goodness. You have no wrinkles.
You need to get it in advance, before you get wrinkles.
I'm a lady who takes care of herself.
My gosh, Seo Bo Ri
Only sunshine and rainbows await you
Oh Poong Geum, prosperity awaits you
Can I stop being so lonely for a change?
Yes, of course.
Auntie, say goodbye to your lonely days.
Hold on. How come Ri An's uncle hasn't called yet?
You're right. He talked as though he'd call us right away.
My gosh.
Nam Gu's brother is staying with you guys for a while, right?
It's only for a little while, so don't be mean to him.
I met him. He's not the dirtbag he used to be.
Mom, by any chance,
did he talk about money to you at all?
That you had to invest in some strange company.
I don't have money to do that.
No, he never mentioned anything like that.
Really? Then I'm relieved.
The truth is, I'm really worried because of him.
Kang Rim, of all people...
What about Kang Rim?
It's nothing. You should go to bed. Good night.
(Professor Kang Nam Gu)
Did Cho Hee say anything to you?
About what?
My brother is staying with us at the moment.
I think it's stressing her out.
Then you should be more attentive to her.
I want to,
but it always comes out wrong.
And I'm always one step behind.
Make sure you choose your husband very carefully.
Stay away from halfwits like me who just don't get it, okay?
I'm in no position to choose.
All I can do is hope that someone will choose me.
What do you think of my brother-in-law?
Kang Rim?
Yes. You'd make a good couple, and you know each other very well.
You know that we're just friends.
I should get going.
I stayed too long after the professors' meeting.
By the way, Kang Rim is doing well here, right?
Of course. Have you ever seen that perfectionist...
do anything clumsily?
Gosh, I should take him out for dinner or something.
I'm such a bad brother-in-law.
I'll be off, then.
- See you. - Bye.
(Hankang University, Department of Urban Engineering)
(Urban Design Competition)
- My gosh. - What?
Gosh, look at this.
(Professor: Seo Kang Rim)
I'll check attendance.
Kang Hoon Gu.
Oh, you're already here.
Did you print everything that I texted you about?
(Hankang University Law School)
Dong Ha.
Yes? Oh, I'm sorry, Professor Choi.
Is everything okay?
Seul A didn't come to school today.
I can't reach her.
Han Seul A? You can't reach her?
No.
I went to the library too.
She missed work without even calling,
so her manager is worried too.
She's never done this before.
Did she...
(M and J Partners Law Firm, Lawyer Do Kyung Ho)
No way.
Do Kyung Ho is a jerk, but he wouldn't stoop that low.
Sorry?
Oh, she'll be okay. Don't worry too much.
Okay.
That's it for today's class.
In the next class, we'll learn about conflict among judicial agencies...
and their organizational structures.
Good job today.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
(Criminal Law)
(Han Dong Min)
(Han Seul A)
I didn't see Pool Ball today.
I wonder if something happened to her.
Who cares about Pool Ball now?
When are you going to pay me your life expense share?
Hey, I won't run off with your money.
Wait until I get paid for my tutoring gig.
Who pays their living expenses late?
Pay me back now.
It's not like I said I wouldn't pay you back.
I'll give you the money when I get paid.
Must you be this petty to your friend?
"Petty"?
You said you'd take care of the living expenses,
so you must keep your promise.
I don't like people who sit on others' money.
I can't wait much longer, so you'd better hurry.
She didn't come to work and is not even answering her phone.
I paid her up front. Now, I'm getting anxious.
Mr. Soo.
Mr. Mustache!
Hello, singer lady.
Can I pick up my costume you dry-cleaned for me?
Sure thing. Just a moment.
By the way, who were you calling?
You didn't even see me coming in.
My part-timer didn't come in.
She's not even picking up.
She needed money urgently,
so I paid her two months' wages in advance.
My gosh. So she just ran off with the money?
She ran off?
No way. Maybe she got into an accident or something.
I'm telling you. She ran off with the money.
You should never trust the youngsters these days.
(October Expenses)
I have many gatherings to attend this month.
My membership fees and tithe are due as well.
This is bad. I'm dirt broke.
I can't ask Cho Hee to raise my allowance.
Should I get a part-time job somewhere?
Oh, dear.
Stop sighing. The ceiling will collapse at that rate.
Darn it. This is all wrinkled.
I have nothing to wear.
Mom, lend me some money.
I should take these to the dry cleaner's.
Gosh, just because of a few wrinkles?
You can iron them.
Why don't you iron them for me?
Will you stay here forever?
Why try to settle down here when you'll leave soon?
Well, I just want to live a decent life...
while I'm staying here. That's all.
Darn it. I should just tell Cho Hee to iron these for me.
As if she'd be excited to iron your clothes for you.
Don't even dream of it.
You're wrong. She can't nag me anymore.
What do you mean?
You don't need to know.
Mom, what's for dinner?
How about we grill some meat? Premium Korean beef.
You'd have better luck if you went to a temple and asked for meat.
Come on.
I'll tell Cho Hee to pick up some Korean beef on her way home.
Sirloin or tenderloin?
Forget it. I don't want to deal with her nagging because of you.
Just eat the side dishes in the fridge.
All this time, you've been walking on eggshells around Cho Hee.
My gosh, I'm so heartbroken and sad.
Team One's promotion campaign for the ring did very well,
so we've been invited...
to bid on Elegance Jewelry's high collection.
It's an open competition,
many of our big rivals will be participating as well.
My gosh. Then we'll have to win this project no matter what.
That's right. It's our subsidiary,
so it'd be embarrassing to lose it to another company.
Right.
Is it Team Two's turn this time?
What do you think, Ms. Seo?
Mr. Moon helped my team big-time...
with the 34 Home Training project,
so I think my team should take it on and do all the work this time.
Okay. Then this is yours, Ms. Seo.
What do you say, Mr. Moon? You're okay with it, right?
Yes, of course.
I agree with everything you say, sir.
I had to sign a pledge...
that we'd take full responsibility if we lost it.
I figured seeing it in person would help you come up with ideas.
This is a three-carat diamond, right?
Yes. The clarity grade is FL, which is the highest.
Let me emphasize this again.
You must not lose it, Ms. Seo.
Of course, I won't. Please don't worry, Mr. Yang.
The part-timer at the dry cleaner's?
Yes. He said she got paid in advance.
She probably ran off with all the money.
No way. That student didn't seem like the type to do that.
"Student"?
- Hey, Bo Ri. - Yes.
Is it that cabbage girl?
"Cabbage"?
Yes! That girl who is Kang Rim's type.
Maybe she's not feeling well. I'm worried.
I think she lives alone.
Mom, you trust people too much.
You never know what someone's capable of doing.
My gosh. Why did Mustache pay her up front?
Two months' wages!
My point exactly. What was he thinking?
We don't know anything for sure yet, so don't jump to conclusions.
Maybe she had her reasons. Who knows?
When it comes to that girl, you're always so understanding.
Yes. Can you be more understanding toward your youngest daughter?
How could I be more understanding?
Don't you remember all the problems you caused?
See? She only scolds me.
Gosh, seriously.
We heard from Elegance.
They love our first proposal.
They think it goes very well with the high-end concept.
Yes! I'm so glad.
The bidding aside, they can't wait to see what Ms. Seo will do.
I have high hopes too.
You're trying to put pressure on Ms. Seo, aren't you?
Was it that obvious?
That's it for today's meeting.
Oh, one more thing.
The chairman said not to worry about the budget or your expenses.
My gosh, this is not necessary.
We'll put this to good use. Mr. Yang.
You're so cool, Mr. Yang.
We'll do a great job and be sure to return this favor.
Don't worry about it. I'm only relaying the chairman's message.
Let's work hard.
- Yes! - Yes!
Can we really spend it without worrying about the amount?
I'm not sure. Can we use it at a karaoke bar?
We should go out for a proper team dinner.
My goodness.
Ms. Seo.
Yes?
I have a great feeling about this project.
Me too.
Let's do an amazing job this time, Eui Kyung.
For sure! Wait, Ms. Seo.
What now?
I know I still have a lot to learn.
But you kept guiding me without giving up on me.
Thank you so much. I really mean it.
Gosh, don't be silly.
I'm so grateful to have you on my team.
Let's do a good job.
(Borrow and Return Books)
Hello.
I'm Seo Kang Rim, a law professor.
Would I be able to get...
your part-timer Han Seul A's contact info?
Oh, just a moment.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Hi, Seul A. It's me, Professor Seo Kang Rim.
I called because you didn't come to school today.
Call me back when you get this message.
Press one to save your message...
and press two to cancel.
Recording has been canceled.
Thank you.
(Dean Hong Moon Gil's Retirement Ceremony)
Kang Rim.
What are you doing?
Move aside!
She's done playing your girlfriend, so drop it already.
And you'd better not bother my student again.
What did you say?
Your student? Who is your student?
You?
Oh, so you two know each other?
Goodness, this is ridiculous.
All of you must've thought of me as an idiot.
What about you, Sun Hae? Did you know too?
Can you take Seul A and go wait in the car?
What? Okay.
Let's go, Seul A.
I should've minded my own business.
What are you doing here?
Hey, nothing.
You're worried about Seul A too, aren't you?
I'll be honest. I'm really worried.
And what happened yesterday?
I really don't get it.
Why was she with Do Kyung Ho?
And what was the contract they were talking about?
Hold on.
What if...
What?
Since she left...
with Do Kyung Ho last night, no one's been able to reach her.
Do Kyung Ho's attitude last night concerns me as well.
No way. He's a lawyer, you know.
Right?
Anyhow,
Seul A wasn't the only one who surprised me last night.
I was very surprised to see you like that.
Me? Why?
You never get worked up over other people's business.
But yesterday,
you were like a totally different person,
not the Seo Kang Rim I thought I knew.
Then what? Was I supposed to do nothing...
and just watch my student put up with that?
If they were a real couple,
I wouldn't even have stepped in like that.
But... Gosh, I don't even understand why anyone would do that.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
Are you...
worried about her as her professor?
- Or... - Or what?
Never mind. It's nothing.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Seul A is just one of my students.
(The All-Round Wife)
She didn't come here either?
Why are you looking for Seul A?
Did something happen?
He's been downcast since that day.
I can't stand my in-laws.
I bet you don't want to go to the academy.
The thing is, Uncle Seok Gu...
What is it? Tell me.
You don't even know what your daughter has to put up with.
Ri An? What are you talking about?
