(Episode 39)
Honey, wake up. It's time to go to work.
Let me sleep for just five more minutes, honey.
Okay, then get a little more sleep.
Thanks, honey.
You know how exhausting it is to drive at night.
Seok Gu, you'll be home all day, right?
Why do you ask? Do you want to stare at my face all day?
Yes. Don't go anywhere. Stay home today.
Does Nam Gu not want to eat?
I think he's really tired.
He's still in bed.
He's been busy with some kind of project.
Gosh, he must be exhausted.
He never sleeps in like this.
Ri An, if you eat like a bird, you'll drive your good luck away.
Put that down and eat first.
What are you reading?
I'm memorizing English words.
The contest is right around the corner.
I need to study hard to get ready.
Ri An, you were born in a family of brainiacs,
so you can come in first place even if you don't study hard.
Come in first place and show those rude little...
I mean, show the other kids at the academy.
That's how you get your revenge, Ri An.
That's right. Even though only half of her takes after Nam Gu,
she's still so smart.
Mother, what do you mean only half of her takes after Nam Gu?
It's true.
She's you and Nam Gu's child,
so only 50 percent of her DNA is from Nam Gu.
Mother, I also got good grades back in school.
Come on. I'm sure you still can't beat Nam Gu.
He was the top student in the entire school district...
in Gangnam.
Not in the outskirts where you grew up.
Mother!
Mom and Grandma.
Please don't fight.
We're not fighting.
I'm just telling your mother the truth, Ri An.
You can study later.
You should eat your hearty breakfast first, okay?
Okay.
Ri An, you've been studying very hard,
so don't worry. Just put everything you've been learning to use.
You don't have to come in first place this time.
Ri An, don't listen to your mom when she says that...
you don't have to come in first place.
Everyone in our family is always number one in everything we do.
I wish I could at least be second place in anything.
Just do your best, Ri An.
Doing your best is the most important thing.
Mom, I want to come in first.
That's why I'm studying hard.
My gosh!
You sure are my granddaughter! You're such a smart cookie.
My adorable granddaughter!
- Eat up. - Please, Grandma.
All right, eat up.
Where's Auntie Poong Geum? Is she still in bed?
Yes, she can't get up.
She needs to eat something.
I'll go wake her up.
Just let her sleep.
She was tossing and turning all night.
Did she say anything?
She must still be shocked by what happened yesterday.
Let's leave her alone.
She's probably too embarrassed to face you guys now anyway.
I think she needs some time to gather her thoughts.
Do you think Ms. Seo will actually resign?
Why would she want to stay after being falsely accused...
of being a spy?
A spy? What do you mean?
Haven't you heard?
What? What happened?
Mr. Ko is speaking with Ms. Seo because of that.
Mr. Ko?
Ms. Seo, I need you to explain this.
It is true that I got an offer.
And I am debating whether or not to accept it.
See? I told you.
Then how would you explain...
the rumors that you deliberately hid the ring...
to help An Dong Jun's company get the project?
Sorry? I'm not quite following.
Well, the ring went missing.
But then, it magically appeared after we lost the project.
So? What about it?
Was it really a coincidence, Ms. Seo?
What? If it wasn't a coincidence, what was it then?
You deliberately hid the ring...
so we'd lose the project.
I bet you did it in return for the offer you got from JP.
What did you say?
That is a groundless speculation.
Ms. Seo and her team took the biggest hit...
when we lost the project with Elegance.
She already decided to leave, so she'd do anything.
She'd even sell us out.
I agree. From the ring going missing to when it was found.
I must say, the timing is awfully perfect.
Mr. Ko, you're talking to Seo Cho Hee here.
You've known me for 14 years since my newbie days.
Shouldn't you know me better by now?
Well... That is true, but...
My goodness.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
What did you say?
My colleagues worked all night on those plans.
You expect me to bring them to you so I can get a higher pay?
You need to be objective and smart about it, Cho Hee.
You're asking me to betray everyone on my team.
If I must do that to be called "objective" and "smart",
I'll just be a fool.
Cho Hee.
Dong Jun.
This is not how you taught me.
How did you end up like this?
I'm sorry.
But there are times...
when you must make these choices if you want to win in life.
And for you, that time is now.
No.
I do not want to win like that.
That said, I must politely decline your offer.
I foolishly wasted my time debating what to do.
I can't believe I let myself be swayed by an offer like that.
Mom, did you ask me to stay home to make me peel garlic?
Why go out and play...
when you can earn money by peeling garlic?
Hey, you've only peeled that much?
Look who's talking. You haven't even gone through a quarter of this.
That's because I can't see well.
Be quiet and pick up the pace.
We need to finish this quickly and deliver it.
I'm a global talent.
I can't believe I'm peeling garlic. This is so lame.
Then don't be lame. Just focus on peeling garlic.
Who's here at this hour?
Oh, it's Pa Ran.
What's up, Pa Ran?
- Hi, Seok Gu. You're here too. - Hi.
You told me to never visit you again.
What are you doing here?
It's not like I wanted to come here.
Then why are you here?
I finished the side dishes Cho Hee gave me,
so I came to return the containers.
Gosh, what is this smell?
Auntie, are you making kimchi?
Why are you peeling so much garlic?
Someone asked me to help them out with it.
I see. I'll leave this here.
Hey, where do you think you're going?
Here, you can use this.
- Join us, Pa Ran. - Why should I?
Family members should help each other out!
Sit down!
Right, an extra pair of hands will help us pick up the pace.
No! I don't even eat garlic because I can't stand the smell.
Why should I peel these?
And strictly speaking, we're relatives,
not "family members."
We give you all the side dishes for free.
Look at you mercilessly refusing to help us.
You brazen brat.
Auntie, it's not like you make those side dishes.
Well, my in-law makes them.
She's not your in-law.
Goodness. You're talking as though you're very close to your in-laws.
Come on. I know that you're not.
I'm off.
Hey! Are you really leaving like this?
That rude brat!
Darn it.
Gosh, my back.
I need to lie down for a bit.
Seok Gu, keep peeling them.
My gosh, Mr. Kim. Hello.
Now?
What? You need to borrow 200,000 dollars?
Will that be enough? How about 500,000 dollars?
Mom, I need to talk business with this guy.
- Hey, wait! - Don't bother me!
(Our side dishes are made daily.)
(Sisters Side Dish)
- I'm back. - Hey, you got home early today.
Yes. How's Auntie Poong Geum?
She wouldn't come out of her room. She's eaten nothing all day.
I don't think we should leave her alone like that.
Mom, how about you try to talk to her?
Yes, I'm going to.
She needs to eat something to perk up a little.
Mom!
We have a problem.
Auntie Poong Geum is gone!
I searched the entire house, and she's not here.
And her phone is off.
What do we do, Mom?
Mom, did you see her leave?
No, I didn't.
Kang Rim! What should we do?
What if she left, thinking of hurting herself or...
Gosh, stop it.
Don't worry. She must've stepped out to get some fresh air.
Why don't we all go out and look for her just in case?
Bo Ri, close up the store.
What? My gosh.
Where are you going, Mom?
If you're heading out to look for her, let me tag along.
No, I'll go alone.
Do you know where she could be?
I knew you'd be here.
- Jang Geum. - Let's go.
Let's go home now.
I don't want to.
Poong Geum.
I'm too embarrassed to even face Kang Rim and Bo Ri.
Oh Poong Geum.
No.
I can't go home.
I can't go home because I'm so humiliated.
I feel like my whole life has been a waste of time.
Why did I fall for such a scam? It's so pathetic and stupid.
I'm so angry and embarrassed. It's driving me crazy!
Jang Geum...
Maybe it's because I'm getting old.
I think about our parents very often these days.
You know, I'm now much older than Mom...
when she passed away.
Not just you.
Even I am older than Mom now.
That building over there was still going up back then.
She promised...
that we'd go up to the top floor and enjoy the view...
of the entire city together when the construction was completed.
But she passed away before she could keep her promise.
I failed to keep my promise too.
I had promised Mom...
that I would always protect you and take care of you...
no matter what.
I neglected you, saying I had too much on my plate...
with my three kids, which was just an excuse.
I should've made sure you went to college...
and got married.
I'm sorry, Poong Geum.
I'm...
really sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I'm a fool for falling for a man...
I had never even met before...
and sending him my hard-earned life savings.
- Poong Geum. - You see, I really thought...
that man was my last chance.
The chance to finally live a happy life.
I thought, "I can now start a lovely family..."
"and live happily, like everyone else does."
"I no longer need to worry about growing old alone and lonely."
I really thought that was what was going to happen.
Like a fool.
How pathetic.
How...
Jang Geum...
It's okay.
It's not your fault.
It's my fault.
I'm sorry, Poong Geum.
I'm really sorry.
Poong Geum.
Why don't we eat out? Just the two of us.
Why would you eat out when you own a side dish store?
There are times when you want to eat something that someone else made.
You have to pay if you want to eat food cooked by someone else.
Let's go home. I'll cook for you.
Really?
Of course.
Tell me everything you want to eat.
I'm treating you today.
I mean, I'll cook everything you want to eat.
All right. Let me see how good of a cook you are.
Taste this, and you'll know.
You'll resign soon anyway.
And you'll come and work for JP very soon.
Cometome will no longer be your employer.
Why would I leave? This is where I work.
Hi, honey. I'm sorry.
I'm still at work.
I'm going to stop by Ri An's academy and pick her up.
Where are you? Are you in Gangnam?
Shall we go home together, then?
No, I'll be home very late.
I called to tell you not to wait up for me.
It worries me that you're out driving until so late.
Do you really have to keep working as a designated driver?
I'll drive safely. Don't worry.
Don't you know that I'm a skilled driver?
Honey, I got a call. I'll see you at home.
Wait...
My goodness.
Ms. Seo's husband is working as a designated driver?
What should I do?
This is all my fault.
No way...
Hello, I'm your driver.
Hi.
- I'm going home. - Sure.
I'll follow the GPS and take you home safely.
Okay, thank you.
Sir, you're home now.
Wake up, sir.
Ju A!
How could you do this to me?
How could you do this to me, Ju A?
Goodness. What do I do?
I swear, I've met him before.
He looks so familiar.
This is odd.
(My one and only love)
My goodness.
Excuse me, sir.
- Hello... - You jerk!
It's getting late! Are you still out and about?
Oh, this is...
Where are you?
Are you with that wench again?
I'm a designated driver.
We are in the parking lot now,
but your husband's passed out drunk at the moment.
Then do you mind bringing him up?
You want me to bring him up?
I'll pay you double.
You'll pay me double?
What's the building and unit number?
My heart!
I'm heartbroken, but I'm smiling like this
Where should I take him?
- My heart... - He reeks of alcohol.
Just throw him on the couch.
- Okay. - I'm so heartbroken.
- I'm so hurt. - Goodness.
Good grief.
Here, thank you.
Thank you.
My gosh! Are you Mr. Kang Nam Gu?
You are, right? Mr. Kang Nam Gu, Cho Hee's husband.
Yes. Hello.
My gosh. You work as a designated driver now?
Yes, I do.
Gosh, your family must be struggling a lot financially.
I should give you a bigger tip. I'll give you 50 dollars more.
Come on. Take it.
No, it's okay.
Just take it. It's not like we're strangers.
To us, that's chump change.
Cho Hee is doing well, right?
Yes. Thank you.
And Cho Hee is doing great.
Anyway, see you around.
Why is he so confident?
I'm heartbroken
But I'm smiling like this
Goodness, you idiot!
Darn it.
I can't believe he is Cho Hee's friend's husband.
Why, of all people?
Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?
Yes, I'm fine now.
Sorry, I shouldn't have called you.
Did something happen at the reunion?
Well, the thing is...
What is it? What happened?
Your phone's buzzing.
Just leave it. I don't want to answer it.
Why not?
It must be Do Kyung Ho.
(Do Kyung Ho)
Hey, mind your own business. Why did you have to step in?
Did you really have to embarrass me in front of everyone?
And I paid for that time, so I can do whatever I want with Seul A.
So mind your own business!
I don't know what happened,
but just drop it now, Kyung Ho.
What? Is this Seo Kang Rim?
Why would you answer Sun Hae's phone?
Are you guys seeing each other?
You need to tell me why Kyung Ho called you.
To tell you the truth, there was a commotion.
Seul A came with him, but...
But what?
She left in the middle of the event.
She left?
Yes. Something must've come up.
She got up to leave hurriedly after getting a phone call,
but Kyung Ho tried to stop her, so they got into a fight.
I tried to stop him, but...
Why did you step in?
He was out of line.
Anyway, Seul A left amidst the commotion.
That's why he's taking it out on me.
The whole reunion event was ruined.
Kang Rim.
How are you feeling? Are you all right?
Yes.
Mom, I'll take the earliest flight and go there.
Just stay at the hospital.
Can I talk to Jun?
Jun, hang in there. Okay?
She said money was the most important thing in her life.
Why did she leave in the middle of the event?
(The All-Round Wife)
Trouble follows her wherever she goes.
I shouldn't have hired her. I have to clean up all the mess.
I'll send you the money as soon as I have it.
To thank me?
You saved my life. I can do anything.
You don't even know how to date.
Thanks.
What? Won Ju, what did you just say?
I have a feeling that she'll get into another fight.
