(Episode 52)
I wonder why Ms. Seo is looking for my dad so desperately.
Why did Ms. Seo come to our house?
Ri An left her workbook behind.
Maybe that's what she's here for.
Oh, Ri An left her workbook here?
Yes.
"I'm Seo Cho Hee from Cometome."
Do you always do your work like this?
You're so reckless and unreasonable.
Only when it's necessary.
Listen. There are proper procedures for everything.
But you didn't care about that,
and just barged into my house...
to see my father-in-law. I can't believe you.
Actually, I feel bad for you.
You're highly educated and graduated from an elite university.
You should've known better, don't you think?
I'm sorry. I really am.
But this is a very urgent matter.
My father-in-law hates rude and shameless people like you.
So stop being foolish and leave already.
Won Ju, please.
If it's that urgent, wait for him in front of the building.
You might get a chance to see him.
I don't know when he'll arrive though.
Right. I think I was wrong.
I shouldn't have come and asked you for a favor like this.
I must have lost my mind for a moment.
I'm glad you know that.
Sorry for the trouble. I'll get going now.
Wait, Ms. Seo.
- Oh, hello. - Oh, hello.
Ri An left her workbook behind last time. Here you go.
Oh, I see. Thank you.
Then I'll see you later.
See you soon.
Won Ju, don't be so mean to her.
What did I do?
That feels so good.
Gosh. Seriously.
That was so humiliating.
I was so pathetic.
I mean, what did I expect from her? Why did I come all the way here?
Do I have no pride?
I can't believe I begged her to help me.
Oh, my. What a surprise.
My goodness. Hello.
What are you doing here, sir?
Me?
I work as a security guard at this apartment at night.
You can say that it's my side gig.
You work at night too?
You shouldn't work too much. You might fall ill.
I should keep working while I can.
I want to live my life to the fullest.
By the way, what are you doing in this area?
My friend from high school lives here.
I see.
Then why do you look upset?
What happened to your cheerful energy?
Exactly. I wonder what happened.
Then go on your way. I'm in a hurry.
Oh, okay. Have a good night.
Bye.
He works as a security guard?
Hi, everyone.
How have you all been?
- Welcome, Dad. - Grandpa.
Hi, my sweet pumpkin. Have you been well?
Yes. I missed you.
Grandpa, have you had dinner?
Yes, I just had a quick bite.
I'm sorry for being late.
I said I would pick you up. Why did you take a bus?
Our country has no oil.
At least I should try to use as little as possible.
Let's sit down.
Okay. Let's go and sit down.
I prepared dinner for you, Father.
It's a shame you already ate.
She cooked all day long with so much affection and effort.
I know. I'm really sorry about that.
A broken car stopped and wouldn't move...
at the entrance of the parking lot.
I'll make sure to come over again...
to have dinner with you all.
You'll come over again?
Sa Rang.
Let's eat together next time, okay?
Okay, Grandpa. Sounds great.
How sweet.
By the way, Father.
Yes?
Have you chosen a company to work on the Noble River Vill ad?
Sorry?
Why do you want to know that?
No reason. I'm just curious.
I mean...
why are you interested in my company all of a sudden?
It's not like that. Why would she be interested in your company?
Won Ju has no interest in your company.
Right? I thought so.
I asked that question just in case.
Is it wrong of me to want to know about your business?
I mean, Hyung Do will inherit your business in the future anyway.
Stop it.
Hyung Do.
Yes, Dad. I'm listening.
Do you remember what you promised before getting married?
I promised that Won Ju would never be involved in your business.
That's right. You swore that you'd keep that promise, right?
Yes, Dad. I clearly remember it.
Then has Won Ju forgotten it already or what?
And Hyung Do, I want to make something clear.
Do not expect you'll inherit my business...
just because you're my son.
You'll have to prove that you have what it takes.
Of course, Dad.
Good. Now, can you give me a cup of sweet coffee?
Yes, Father.
My, you're so heavy.
Sa Rang, you've grown so much.
- Grandpa. - My sweet pumpkin is so adorable.
- Do you like me that much? - Yes.
I'm so happy.
The advertiser who refused to work with your company turned out...
to be Sa Rang's grandfather?
What are the odds?
I know, right? I was as dumbfounded as you are now.
He said that he couldn't trust my company...
because of the ring incident.
But you said you had found the ring eventually.
The fact that we almost lost it would be bad enough...
to lose advertisers' trust.
That's not fair.
What if Ms. No try to sabotage you?
No, she won't do that. She seemed to have no idea.
I see.
That's why you ran to her house when you heard...
her father-in-law was going to be there.
That's right.
But I shouldn't have done it.
Why did I think that she would help me out?
Gosh. I'm so upset.
I'll probably beat myself up all night long.
Don't be too hard on yourself.
You did it because you were desperate.
Even so, as a professional,
this could hurt my pride in my work.
How did I end up like this? I'm the ace of Cometome.
You can't succeed every time, Cho Hee.
Even if you fail to get this project...
I won't let that happen.
If we just give up on this project,
we won't be able to get other projects in the future either.
It's not just my company that's facing a crisis.
My career is at risk too.
Just wait and see. I worked so hard to make it this far.
I won't let this kill my career.
Great. Cho Hee, you've got this.
Yes. I've got this.
Why...
does this remind me of my late mother?
Mom, I miss you.
Right. I'll make some side dishes for him by myself.
He didn't ask for it for free. He said he'd pay me.
(Bangsoo Construction)
Gosh, it's so cold.
Look who's here.
You're Ms. Na's daughter-in-law.
Oh, my. Hello, sir.
You came so early.
Old people wake up early, you know.
By the way, what brings you here at this hour?
Well, the thing is...
Chairman Bang always comes to work at 5 a.m., right?
I told you that it was confidential information.
Are you waiting for him to come out here...
in this cold weather?
Well, yes. There's no other way to see him.
Why don't you come inside to keep yourself warm?
You might catch a cold if you keep standing out here.
That's okay. I'll wait here.
You can see cars coming in and going out...
from my office.
Listen to me. This is so foolish of you.
I know, but I have no choice.
Sir, don't worry about me and go on in now.
You might catch a cold.
Let's go in together.
I'll be fine. Please go on in.
- Let's go in together. - Don't worry about me.
Please go ahead. Hurry up and go inside.
Since I packed lunch for two people,
we're out of side dishes already.
I need Pa Ran to pick up some side dishes today...
so that I can pack lunch tomorrow.
Oh, my. Mom, did you have breakfast already?
Yes, I did. I had a quick bite.
Cho Hee told me to make sure to prepare breakfast for you.
Has she left already?
Yes, she said she had some urgent work to do.
I see. I should hurry up too.
See you later in the evening.
By the way, did you pack those lunch boxes by yourself?
Well... You see...
I wanted to save money on lunch.
You packed two of them.
Maybe because it's a physical job,
I get hungry so easily.
I'll eat some more during my break time.
Mom.
Oh, Mom.
You can have a nice meal for lunch. You can spend that much.
You don't have to do this.
That's not the only reason. No other food...
is better than Ms. Oh's, you know.
Hey, I'll get going now.
You don't have to see me out. I'm off.
Mom...
That's weird. Did he not come in today?
Or did I miss him?
You should leave now.
But...
I just talked to Chairman Bang's driver on the phone.
Chairman Bang will be working outside of the office today.
What? Then won't he come in today?
Probably.
So you should go now.
It's so cold outside. You shouldn't be out too long.
Then could you please relay my message to the driver?
I sent an email to the PR team...
I have a better idea.
Could you please give him this?
Please tell him that I'd like Chairman Bang to check it.
What is this?
It's an advertising and promotion proposal that Cometome made.
I'm not sure about that.
Both Chairman Bang's driver and I...
are too busy to help you with it.
Please help me out, sir. I'm imploring you.
It's really important to me.
Well, I'll deliver it to him when I see him.
But I can't promise you anything.
That'd be good enough. Thank you. Then I'll see you later.
Bye.
I must say, she works really hard, but...
(Bangsoo Construction)
Oh, my. You placed the food so neatly.
Let me make it clear.
I'll charge you for the food starting today.
Of course. I know that.
I can't believe this.
What do you mean?
This is the taste I've been looking for for the past 40 years.
Now that I tasted it again, I'm sure of it.
Last time, I was a little sure.
The taste you've been looking for?
Ms. Na.
Thank you so much. I can't thank you enough.
I don't understand. Why would it make you want to cry?
Which area are you from, Ms. Na?
I'm from Seoul. Why?
Oh, really?
Then how do you make food like this?
Did you not eat breakfast?
Why are you gobbling down the food like that?
Slow down. You might get an upset stomach.
Thanks to you,
I got to enjoy the food I dreamed to eat.
I thought I would never have a chance to eat food like this.
Thank you. I'm so grateful.
Thank you so much.
He'll pay for the food.
Then why does he keep thanking me?
Bangsoo Construction doesn't even want us to contact them?
You were so confident when you said you'd convince Chairman Bang.
What is this, Ms. Seo?
But... Has he checked our proposal yet?
I asked someone close to him to deliver it to him.
Yes, Chairman Bang read it and notified us by himself.
Yes, Mother.
I'm sorry, but I'm a little busy with my work...
What? I can meet Chairman Bang?
(Bangsoo Construction)
Oh, dear.
Mother.
- You're here. - Yes.
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
My goodness. You're out of breath.
Catch your breath.
Is Chairman Bang coming here?
Is he really coming here?
It's not that he'll come here.
(Bangsoo Construction)
Here you go.
Gosh, you old man. Are you joking?
Don't get mad at me.
Chairman Bang told me to deliver his message to her.
Don't you want to get the message?
What... Really?
Listen carefully.
(Dear Senior Manager Seo Cho Hee of Cometome.)
"Dear Senior Manager Seo Cho Hee of Cometome."
"Do you believe that money is the only value of a house?"
"If you do, that means you don't know anything..."
"about my company Bangsoo Construction."
"I can't work with someone..."
"with that kind of point of view."
My gosh. He called her over just to say that?
That chairman is a total jerk.
It wasn't the end of the letter of the total jerk.
But I guess I won't read it.
Please read it, sir.
Did he say anything else?
Of course, he did.
Do you want me to continue reading it?
Yes, please.
All right.
"Nevertheless, I appreciated..."
"the effort you made to see me."
"So I decided to give you one last chance."
"By tomorrow night,"
"send me a new proposal."
"If you know the true value of a house,"
"I would give you another chance."
That's the end of his letter.
Does he mean...
that he doesn't like our proposal?
I wouldn't know.
I'm a mere messenger, you know.
Chairman Bang or whatever he's called is so mean and weird.
If I see him, I'm going to...
What are you going to do?
Don't you know what could happen if you mess with him?
I don't know.
Chairman Bang or whatever he's called...
I'm going to teach that mean old man a serious lesson.
A house? What could it mean to him?
Success? Value?
Or joy?
What could it mean?
Ms. Seo, aren't you going out to have lunch?
Ms. Seo, it's lunchtime.
Oh, right. I lost track of time.
You guys go and eat without me. I have no appetite.
Oh, I see. Okay.
Then we'll be back shortly.
Okay. Enjoy your lunch.
Ms. Seo.
Shouldn't you give up on the project?
I don't think you can get it.
If I was going to give up, I wouldn't even have started.
She's right. Ro Mi, you shouldn't speak so thoughtlessly.
I'm just being realistic.
Sometimes, a team needs a realistic person like me.
You're not being realistic. You're being pessimistic.
That's not true. Ro Mi has a point too.
But Ro Mi, we need someone to encourage us...
rather than a person to point out problems.
Absolutely. I strongly agree with Ms. Seo.
See?
Go on and eat your lunch.
We'll begin the meeting as soon as you're back.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, Ms. Seo.
- I'm hungry. - What should we eat today?
Hello.
Welcome.
Oh, my. You're Ri An's aunt, right?
Yes, she is. She let us in...
when we went to Cho Hee's house after Nam Gu got into the accident.
That's right. Hello.
Oh, she's Nam Gu's cousin...
who came from Busan.
What brings you here?
I came to buy some side dishes.
You came all the way here alone to pick up some side dishes?
Yes. Auntie Sun Duk...
I mean, Cho Hee gave me some of your food several times.
And I liked everything.
What would you like? Is there anything particular you like?
Anything would be fine. Please give me anything good.
Well... Then how about seasoned spinach?
It's really tasty because we used ppageumjang.
Seasoned spinach?
It's one of the best sellers.
My sister's ppageumjang is really good.
Then I'll take it.
And please give me this, this, and this too.
- I'll buy all of these too. - My goodness.
All of them?
I heard you lived alone.
Are you sure you want them all?
Yes, I am.
What's wrong with buying all of them?
She probably wants them all to eat for the whole week.
Give me just a minute.
Yes.
Let's go and pack the food.
There.
All right. Here you go.
It took me some time since you ordered many kinds.
Thank you. How much are these?
Don't worry about it. It's the least we can do for Ri An's aunt.
I can't just take the food. Please let me pay for it.
I'll charge you next time.
Then I'll come back soon.
Goodbye.
- Goodbye. - Go home safely.
Go home safely.
Jang Geum, our food must be really good.
She may like the food,
but isn't it weird that she came all the way here for the food?
I guess she wanted to say hi to us since she was here.
All right.
Mr. Seo, I'm done organizing the documents.
Oh, you finished it more quickly than I expected. Thank you.
Is there anything else I should do?
Good. You did a good job at organizing them.
You can leave for the day now.
Yes, sir. Then I'll get going now.
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
Kang Rim.
- Oh, my. - Hello, Professor Choi.
Seul A, what are you doing here?
Hi, Sun Hae, you're here. Then I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, Mr. Seo.
- Bye. - Goodbye.
What is going on?
Just as you saw.
Seul A works here with me.
Is it because of the money you gave to Kyung Ho?
I needed an admin assistant anyway.
But wouldn't it be too much work since she's a senior?
She must be very busy...
writing her thesis and preparing to get a job.
That could be true.
But since she's minoring in law,
her experience of working here won't be a waste of time.
What I'm saying is...
Why did you hire...
Seul A of all people?
- What? - When you said...
that if you ever fell in love with someone once again,
you thought...
that it would be me,
I thought you meant that you would try to forget Yoon A.
But I guess I was wrong.
When you see Seul A,
she reminds you of Yoon A.
Am I wrong?
Sun Hae.
I don't know...
how much more I should let go and try to understand you.
Kang Rim, let me ask you a favor.
Do not use Seul A...
to relieve the old memories.
That's being a coward.
(The All-Round Wife)
Don't tell anyone that Jun is your son.
What? Jun.
- Is your brother's name Jun? - Well...
She looks like Kang Rim's ex-girlfriend?
How about you reconsider this?
The landlord packed up and left?
Why would you leave that large house empty...
to live in our house?
You don't want to live with me?
Those darn houses give me headaches for many different reasons.
