(Episode 36)
Let's take a break in the mountain with fresh air and great scenery.
These days, many people visit a relaxing place like this...
- away from the busy city. - Oh, my. Pa Ran.
What brings you here?
I called her over.
I wanted to have dinner with my cousin...
who lives upstairs.
She probably doesn't have proper meals since she lives alone.
Oh, please. Since when did you care about me?
I know you're trying to convince me to pay for some jokbal.
If you've figured that out, order it already.
I'm hungry.
Are you going out again at this late hour?
Exactly. You must be going to a fancy place...
seeing that you dressed so nicely.
Well, I have an important appointment.
I might be a little bit late, Mother.
Oh, right. Who's going to pick Ri An up from the academy?
I'll bring her home safely later,
so don't worry, Cho Hee.
Make sure not to say anything to Ri An's friends.
You're worried for nothing.
I'm Kang Seok Gu, you know.
Don't worry. I'll go with him to pick her up.
You're going there too?
Why? You don't want me to go?
That's not what I meant. Then I'll count on you.
I'll get going.
Okay. See you later.
See you.
She always makes a weird comment on everything I say. Gosh.
By the way, where is she going? Why is she all dressed up?
Do you think she is going to meet Nam Gu outside secretly...
to eat something delicious without us?
Both Nam Gu and Cho Hee must have too much on their plate for that.
Why? Is something going on with them?
You don't have to know.
That's a very unexpected offer.
So... You're turning it down?
No, that's not it.
I just need some time to think about it.
I heard that you had failed to get a promotion,
and that you're in a difficult situation at Cometome now.
You deserve a chance to spread your wings and fly.
Until when will you keep that rewardless job there?
And honestly, I need a competent new chief director as well.
Thank you for thinking highly of me.
But I...
Right. I understand you must have so much to think about.
But you should know that you don't get an opportunity like this often.
The same goes for me. If I hadn't left Cometome,
I wouldn't have been able to move up to this position.
Here. Let's drink.
Yes, Mr. An.
Cho Hee, join my company.
Forget everything.
My goodness. Seriously.
Auntie Poong Geum, there's no way you'd look great in my outfit.
Gosh. Why don't you have anything nice that I can wear?
What's wrong with my clothes?
Oh, dear. Poor me.
I don't have any nice outfits when I'm not so young.
What have I been doing with my life until now?
Auntie Poong Geum.
Tomorrow, before meeting Chris,
I'll go shopping for an outfit.
Auntie Poong Geum!
Gosh. What?
Did that man you call Chris really ask you to meet him tomorrow?
Are you sure?
If you don't believe me, see it yourself.
Why can't you believe me?
It's not like that.
By the way, what kind of outfit should I buy?
We're here, sir.
Here's your car key.
- Thank you. - I'll give you the change.
Keep it. That's a tip for you.
You can eat some warm fish cake on your way back.
That's so generous of you. Thank you, sir. Go home safely.
I'm getting more tips than my pay.
This might become my side job at this rate.
All right. Shall I take up another job?
What? This one is going to Myeongjin-dong.
This is great. I've been so lucky today.
Good. Let's go.
You should think carefully but make your decision quickly.
I can't give you much time.
Sure. I'll be in touch. Then goodbye.
Wait. I'll give you a ride.
Oh, that's okay. I can take a bus. I'll go by myself.
You said you had moved to Myeongjin-dong.
It's quite far from here.
You'll be too tired if you take a bus at this hour.
I'll be okay. Besides, you had a drink.
That's why I called a chauffeur service.
Stop being stubborn and let me give you a ride.
Oh, my. It's chilly outside.
Let's get in my car and wait in there.
But...
Come on.
We might catch a cold. Come.
Oh, goodness. Time passes so fast.
I remember when you joined the company.
Gosh.
Here you go again talking about the old days.
How can I forget about that day?
You used to be a young novice who had no clue,
but now, you're the senior manager who's leading the company.
You taught me well. I owe it all to you.
Do you know how much I liked you back then?
You liked me?
You're here?
Do you see the car on the left side with the engine running?
Okay.
Oh, there. I see it. I'll be right there. Yes.
I'm the chauffeur you called.
Please take us to Myeongjin-dong.
Of course. I'll take you to your destination safely.
Then we'll get off now.
Still, you were great even when you were new at work.
I was sure that you would become successful in this field.
So you should work with me from now on.
Moving to another company isn't a big deal.
As long as you can get a good offer, you can take the opportunity.
I'll help you out. Trust me and join my company.
Oh, right. How is your kid?
Is your husband good to you?
Well, he must be.
He'd be a bad man if he's not good to a wife like you.
Wait, no.
Should I call him a loser?
You see, I couldn't tell you this before.
If you hadn't gotten married then,
I might have asked you out.
- Pardon me? - You didn't know?
Mr. An.
I'm sure that almost all men at Cometome...
fell for you, Cho Hee.
Including myself, of course.
I know you're joking, but that's inappropriate.
You crossed the line even though you had a drink.
Oh, I'm sorry. My apology.
I've gone too far while thinking about the old days.
I'm sorry.
I was wrong.
Excuse me, sir. I don't mind if it takes longer than normal.
So please make sure to drive safely.
Here. Take it. It's a tip for you.
Aren't you going to receive it?
Here. Come on.
Sir, you seem to work really hard.
Do you have any children, by any chance?
Yes, I have one daughter.
Oh, really?
Just like Cho Hee.
All right. Then please use this...
to buy your daughter some snacks.
Come on. Take it. My arm hurts.
Yes. Thank you.
Cho Hee.
Pull over.
Can't you hear me?
I said, stop the car, Mr. Kang Nam Gu.
If you don't pull over immediately, I might jump out of the car.
So stop the car this instant!
You get out too.
I said, get out!
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
Why didn't you say anything?
Why would you be fool enough to put up with that?
Why couldn't you tell him...
to stop hitting on your wife?
- Cho Hee. - Hey, Nam Gu.
You see, I thought...
It seemed like he was trying to recruit you.
I was afraid you might lose the chance to move to his company...
if I interfered the conversation.
That's why you just put up with all his nonsense?
I didn't want to put you in an awkward position.
Also, I thought you'd be embarrassed if he found out...
that your husband worked as a chauffeur.
What's wrong with working as a chauffeur?
You are my husband.
Why would I be embarrassed of my husband?
Ms. Seo.
I'm sorry. Mr. An, I think you should go now.
I'll go with my husband.
He's your husband? Oh, no.
Hello. It's nice to meet you. I'm Cho Hee's husband.
I apologize. If you got the wrong idea...
No, I didn't get the wrong idea. Don't worry.
Goodness.
I'll call another chauffeur for you.
That's okay. I'll take care of it. Go home, Ms. Seo.
Goodbye.
(English contest prep class available)
Mom.
- Hi. - Hey, how was the class?
- Mom. - Hi. Mommy is here.
Gosh. I said I would be okay alone.
Why did you tag along anyway? You'll be tired.
How could I trust you with the kid?
You might say something scary to those mean kids again.
I can't let you cause Ri An to get kicked out of the academy.
I won't say anything to them again.
I'll just put a sweet smile on my face.
Like this. I'll do nothing else.
You know how sweet I look when I'm smiling.
That's true.
When you smile, you look so handsome...
just like your dad.
Absolutely. I know.
Everyone I meet says that I have a handsome face.
- There. - Grandma.
Hi, my sweet pumpkin, you must be tired from studying.
- Uncle Seok Gu, you're here too. - Yes.
Hello, Ms. Na. Hello, Mr. Kang.
- Hi. - Hi, Sa Rang.
Did you study hard, Ri An?
Yes, Uncle Seok Gu.
Sa Rang, hasn't your mom come yet?
No.
I guess she'll be a little late.
You can leave now, Ri An.
Will you be okay?
Of course. See you, Ri An.
Goodbye, Ms. Na. Goodbye, Mr. Kang.
Okay. See you around.
Go home safely, Sa Rang.
Yes. Mr. Kang.
Hey, I don't think we should leave like this.
Mom, where are you going?
Gosh.
Tell me the truth.
How serious is your relationship with her?
I mean, she was so brazen as if she had a clear conscience.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Nothing happened between us. It's true.
It was a platonic relationship...
As if.
I bet you had a one-sided crush on her...
and let her take your money like a fool.
Well...
Hyung Do, when will you ever grow up?
I mean, why would a girl in her 20s with a bright future...
fall for a married man who is much older than her?
Are you Won Bin? Or Hyun Bin?
You can call me Hyung Bin.
Shut it.
Even if she enjoyed seeing you, I bet she liked your money, not you.
Anyway, I'm going to divorce you.
You'll be kicked out of this house penniless.
Mr. Bang Hyung Bin.
You'll divorce me?
Honey, please.
You can't divorce me. Think of Sa Rang. Please.
I didn't know you cared so much about Sa Rang.
Isn't it Sa Rang's tutor that you care about?
Honey, please.
What is it, Sa Rang?
Mom, aren't you going to come to pick me up?
Right, Sa Rang.
It's all your fault.
Wait. I'll be there shortly.
What?
Who is bringing you home?
Ri An's grandmother and uncle came to pick her up.
Can't you come home by yourself?
It's not far from our house.
Okay, Mom. I'll go by myself.
Did your mom tell you to go home by yourself?
- Yes. - Gosh. She's so cold-hearted.
You said your house was nearby, right?
Let's go. We'll walk you home.
That's okay. I can go by myself.
No. Let us all walk you home.
Thank you, Ms. Na.
That's okay. Let's get going now.
I see that Mom and Ri An haven't come back yet. Neither did Seok Gu.
Leave the light off.
Sorry?
Tell me.
How long have you been working as a chauffeur?
Answer me!
I'm sorry, Cho Hee.
Don't you know what made me upset?
Do you really not know?
Why would you keep apologizing...
when you don't even know that?
I'm so upset.
And what are you apologizing for?
You have done nothing wrong!
Honey.
I'm the one who should be apologizing.
Then why are you apologizing?
I wanted to move to his company...
since it was a good opportunity.
So I pretended I didn't know you when I saw you.
I, Seo Cho Hee, saw my husband,
and did such a shameful thing!
Cho Hee.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's not like you did that for your own sake.
No.
Even so,
I shouldn't have done that.
I acted like a bad, foolish woman.
You're not bad or foolish.
And I'm the one who makes more mistakes, you know.
And most importantly...
Cho Hee, I...
love you from the bottom of my heart.
Just the way you are. All right?
Don't you feel the same way?
Is it only me?
Answer me.
I promise you...
that I will never...
break your heart again like this.
And I'm sorry again, honey.
I'm sorry too, Cho Hee.
Look at that. A fancy apartment like this in the heart of Gangnam.
Sa Rang, your parents must be very wealthy.
Mom, doesn't this remind you of the old days?
Of course.
Mom.
Sa Rang, I told you to wait for me in front of the academy...
or come home by yourself.
Why did you let them all tag along?
I'm sorry.
Tag along?
And how could you tell such a little kid to walk home...
all by herself at this hour?
Granny, why would you stick your nose in our business?
Can't you be more sensitive and quick-witted?
What did you say? What do you mean by that?
I'm saying that you should know when not to get involved.
My gosh.
You should be thanking us.
You're being so rude and unreasonable.
Unbelievable. Look who's talking.
The thug uncle who told little kids he'd set their houses on fire...
is talking about moral sense. That's just unexpected.
Gosh. I see you're the type that never lets things go.
Why would you talk about what's been sorted out already?
Besides, I never asked you to bring my child home.
Why did you do something that I didn't ask you to do...
and pick up a fight?
Also, you don't belong in this area.
So hurry up and leave.
Gosh. They reek of the smell of Myeongjin-dong.
Sa Rang, let's go home.
I can't take anymore. Hey!
Living in Gangnam doesn't make you the queen of the world.
We all have lived in Gangnam.
But you went broke and had to move to another area.
You should talk about that sad story...
with your daughter-in-law at home, not with me.
Do you understand, Granny?
Darn. That little...
No. Your blood pressure will rise.
Bye, Ri An.
Bye, Sa Rang.
See you tomorrow.
I hope that won't happen.
Gosh. That mean witch...
Darn it.
Let's go home, Ri An.
- Whatever. - Darn. Come on.
You'll keep working as a chauffeur?
Yes. Being of no help to you...
when you were struggling made me feel ashamed of myself.
I hesitated a lot at first.
But I realized it wasn't so bad, and it's actually quite lucrative.
I'll figure something out to sort out the problem at work.
So you should stop working as a chauffeur.
Above all, driving at night is dangerous and exhausting.
What if you get into an accident?
What should we all do?
I promise I'll drive safely.
I'll be extra careful so you won't have to worry.
Please let me do this.
No way. You can't. What about your mother?
If she finds out that you work as a chauffeur,
she'll be so upset.
I can explain to her so she can understand.
As long as you turn a blind eye.

Welcome.
(Sisters Side Dish)
I've been having no appetite.
Can you recommend me something?
Then how about beef bone soup?
Many people ask for it as it keeps you warm during season change.
I just made it, so it's still warm.
Is that so?
Then I'll take the beef bone soup.
Okay.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
(Beef bone soup with Korean beef)
- Please enjoy. - Thank you.
Goodbye.
(Sisters Side Dish)
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
That's Seul A.
How did it go?
The fever hasn't gone down?
Go to the hospital now!
What are you waiting for?
I sent you the money.
You need more?
All right. I heard you. Go to the hospital for now.
Hurry!
What was that about?
Is someone sick?
Good job.
You must be worried about something. You look troubled.
No, I'm not worried about anything.
Do we have any more orders to be delivered?
We don't have any more orders today.
You might be late for your class. Go on now.
Yes, sir.
So you're not going to attend the school reunion?
I never went to the reunion.
I don't care. I'll be busy preparing for a trial anyway.
Not long ago, Kyung Ho came to see me.
He seemed to be planning to go there with Han Seul A as well.
You know how persistent he was in college.
And that worries me.
Will Seul A be okay?
That's between the two of them. Why would you worry?
They're both adults. They'll take care of themselves.
Kang Rim, you don't seem to worry about her.
- Worry about her? - Yes.
You saw her at Professor Hong's retirement ceremony.
I saw her.
She's the type who would do anything for money.
That's how I think of her.
(The All-Round Wife)
Is there a side gig that I can do at home?
Do you want to do it too?
How much do I get paid?
Auntie Poong Geum, maybe you got scammed.
Let's go to the police station.
This is not something I can handle by myself.
You're here, Chris.
Have you thought about my offer?
We have Ms. Seo, you know.
If I leave this company,
what would everyone on my team do?
