(Episode 54)
A sanctuary to return to after a long, hard day.
A place where your loved ones are waiting for you.
Comfort and happiness await you.
Noble River Vill.
Yes, who cares about Gangnam?
This is so nice. This is my favorite time of day.
Hey, have you given it some thought?
What? The parking assistant position?
Do you think I'm crazy? I'd never do it.
You do know that you're the only one who does nothing here, right?
Goodness. You're at it again?
I'm an entrepreneur.
Stop talking about your business, which is clearly going nowhere.
Just go there and earn your spending money.
I'll find a different job to earn my spending money.
I'm not working for that old loser.
Seok Gu!
No way! I won't do it.
I don't like that man.
Darn it.
I can't even throw you out because I gave birth to you.
I'm so frustrated. My goodness.
Don't kick me.
- Oh, dear. - This is so nice.
Everyone's asleep now.
So? When do we have to let the landlord know?
By this weekend.
Oh, boy. Should we buy this place when we can't really afford it?
We're already struggling.
What's the point if we have to struggle even more?
If we went that route, you'd have to pick up another side job.
We wouldn't even have time to see each other.
What?
I'm surprised.
I thought you'd want to buy a home in Gangnam.
Realistically, it's impossible.
It's not like we can just go ahead and buy one even if...
I'm dying to own a home again in Gangnam.
Gosh, what have I been doing all my life?
Being a professor is of no use.
We don't even own a home where our family can live comfortably.
Still, don't be too discouraged, honey.
Okay. Everyone in the family is healthy and doing well,
and that's enough for me.
Exactly. Your mother is still in good health,
and Ri An is healthy too.
The two of us too. We're all very healthy.
Why are you leaving Seok Gu out?
Goodness. He has too much energy for his own good.
Let's go to sleep. I'm tired.
Okay, let's sleep. Come here.
Let's get some sleep now.
Really?
Yes, Mr. Yang. I'll make sure we get the project.
Okay.
Is Chairman Bang allowing us to participate in the bid?
Yes, I think so.
Frankly, I had given up on the project.
This is such amazing news.
We owe this all to...
Ms. Seo, of course.
Stop it. I didn't even do much.
So did you meet Chairman Bang Bae Soo in person?
I wanted to, but I didn't even get to see him.
Then how did you manage to persuade him?
It's all thanks to...
our amazing concept proposal, probably.
We didn't even do anything.
You came up with the proposal all on your own.
Gosh, that's not true. Without you guys,
I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a great proposal.
Okay now, let's all return to our desks...
and try to come up with brilliant ideas...
that can support our proposal.
- Yes, ma'am! - Yes, ma'am!
Wait, Eui Kyung.
Yes, Ms. Seo.
Thank you. Your suggestion was very helpful.
I see. I'm glad.
Eat as much as you want, Gramps.
Goodness. How much longer are you going to call me like that?
Well, then how should I address you?
You can call me Brad.
What? "Brad"? Goodness.
You're clearly 100 percent Korean.
Brad, my foot.
Call me Mr. Brad, okay?
Sure. It won't cost me anything, so I will call you like that.
By the way, I don't know your name yet.
What's your name?
My name is Na Sun Duk.
Sun Duk?
You have a queen's name.
- Gosh, not just the name. - What?
I used to live like a queen,
although I'm living a rather pitiful life at the moment.
Come on. There's nothing wrong with the way your life is now.
Whatever. Just eat your food, Brad.
All right.
Gosh, it hurts.
Ouch, it's really bad.
What's wrong? Are you all right?
Maybe it's because I'm doing the kind of work I never used to do.
My entire body is sore.
Where?
Here? Right here?
My gosh, don't touch me!
Stay still.
You have huge knots here.
Gosh, my goodness.
Why am I suddenly sweating?
Oh, dear. Why are you using tissues to wipe off your sweat?
Don't waste tissues.
Don't you carry a handkerchief around?
A handkerchief? No, I don't.
What a waste.
A hundred percent of the pulp used in this country is imported.
Gosh.
What a waste.
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
Professor Seo. I mean, Attorney Seo.
What is it?
I'm confused as to how to categorize this civil suit case.
- Let me see. - Okay.
A civil lawsuit during a criminal trial...
Kang Rim.
Hey, Cho Hee.
Hello.
What brings you by? You didn't even call.
I'm your sister. Must I call you when I'm visiting your office?
I just wanted to drop by to see you.
I'll wait outside.
Okay, thank you.
Come on. Take a seat.
All right.
You never had an admin assistant...
because you don't trust anyone.
What's gotten into you that you decided to hire someone?
I've gotten busier, that's all.
That admin assistant of yours I just met.
Is she a student at the school?
Yes, she was in my class.
You must be very fond of her.
You never let anyone work this closely with you.
I'm not particularly fond of her.
I hired her just because I'm much busier now. Anyway,
what's going on? Why did you come all the way here at this hour?
It doesn't look like...
you're here just to drop off the coffee and that thing.
What will you do about Sun Hae?
Sun Hae?
Yes.
Don't make her wait too long.
It's excruciatingly painful to have to anxiously wait...
for someone's answer.
Cho Hee, I'll figure out what to do.
Kang Rim.
I just told you. I will figure out what to do.
So let's stop talking about it now.
(Cometome)
These products target women in their 20s and 30s.
The company is looking for people to try out the products.
I think you'd be perfect for it.
Try them out and write a blurb about your experience.
Is that all I have to do?
Yes. Do you think you can do it?
I've read blog posts that talk about getting a small compensation...
for stuff like this.
Correct. You get to try out the skincare products...
and get paid for your review.
But the thing is,
I'm worried this would take up your time when you have to study.
I can't study 24-7.
This will be a nice break.
I'll do it.
Thank you.
No problem.
You must be busy. I'll be off, then.
Wait, Bo Ri.
Yes?
This was just an excuse.
I called you because I wanted to see you.
I really wanted to ask you out on another date,
but I was afraid you'd say no.
Why would I say no...
I mean, I might. Yes.
I don't know why I can't stop thinking about you.
You've been thinking about me?
Let's go on our next dates as we promised.
We went on one date. Then we ran into each other once,
and you came to see me once...
That was not a date.
That doesn't count.
You're right. Today doesn't count.
That means...
I can take you out on two more dates.
That's right. Two more.
Is it too salty?
I'm back.
Hey. What?
I thought you were studying in your room.
I didn't even know you went out.
Well, it's...
Goodness. Of course, you'd sneak out.
Where's Mom? Did she go somewhere?
She's out for delivery.
Oh, good timing.
Come here...
and taste this new side dish that I developed.
Here, try this.
Auntie Poong Geum, what do I do?
Why? What happened?
Well, the thing is...
What is it? Did you cause trouble again?
No. Yang Jae Min...
Right. She threw salt at him to kick him out.
Nothing good will come out of telling her what happened today.
What is it?
Nothing. I'll go upstairs and study.
Hey, Bo Ri!
Gosh, that brat.
I asked you to taste this new side dish I developed.
Yes. If I told Auntie Poong Geum,
she'd just try to talk me out of seeing him.
Besides, it's not something I should say to someone...
who got her heart broken recently because of a man.
Anyway, where should we go for our official second date?
(Hanbit Villa)
Kang Rim went through something like that?
I'm shocked.
I was only worried about Sun Hae who lost both parents at once.
I didn't even think about Kang Rim who lost his girlfriend.
He must've been utterly devastated.
I'm glad...
he's had Professor Choi by his side for the past seven years.
I'm sure they've been relying on each other.
Anyway, I hope things work out between them.
The student of his who apparently looks like his ex-girlfriend...
is making me anxious.
I wonder if that's the reason he hired her as his admin assistant.
He did?
Yes, he hired her.
When I visited his office earlier today,
I saw them together.
I'd be so anxious if I were Sun Hae.
Then what is Professor Choi going to do?
I have no idea.
Kang Rim must feel very confused...
whenever he sees that student.
Yoon A.
How should I let you go?
Here's some rice for you, Bo Ri.
Thanks, Auntie Poong Geum. Thank you for the food!
Bo Ri.
Can't you wait for your brother? You brat.
I can't. I don't have time.
I have to eat quickly and go study.
Goodness. You always do whatever you want.
You study when you want to...
and go out and play when you don't feel like studying.
Here, this is for Kang Rim.
From now on, I'll be very busy...
working and studying.
You'll rarely see me from now on.
What's Kang Rim doing? Kang Rim.
Yes.
Sit down. Let's eat.
Okay.
Thanks for the food.
It would've been nice to have Sun Hae join us for dinner.
Yes, that would've been very nice.
Kang Rim.
I hope you and Sun Hae didn't fight.
No, we didn't.
Kang Rim, you should invite her over next time.
What?
Will you just take your sweet time and never make any progress?
My gosh, did you just say "progress"?
Jang Geum, you never say stuff like that.
Mom, since when were you so decisive?
It's so frustrating to even just watch you two.
Call her first and invite her over.
Mom's right. Pick up the pace.
The fact that Mom's saying this means she's very frustrated.
She's been quietly watching, but her patience is wearing thin.
I'm home.
Hey, why...
- Hi, Seul A. - You're back.
Dong Ha played with Jun all day.
You're so good at putting him to sleep.
You're really sweet, Dong Ha.
Thank you.
What?
Then can I visit often and play with Jun?
I'm not sure about that.
Jun just fell asleep.
I'll be off, then.
Get home safely.
Okay.
I'll get going, ma'am.
- Take care. - Okay. Bye, Dong Ha.
So have you made up your mind? Is it going to be him?
What do you mean?
Hold on. Are Dong Ha's parents rich?
Mom, Dong Ha is my friend.
And he's just trying to help because he knows my situation.
But you're trying to use him.
I never used anyone.
How was I supposed to stop him when he wanted to come and help?
Are you sure you didn't ask him to come?
I did not.
I just told him that Jun wanted to see him. That's all.
Can you please not do this? If you keep doing this,
I can't stay friends with Dong Ha because I'll feel so bad.
Hey, let's be honest. Aren't you the one using him?
What did you say?
If he's not a good catch, use him a little and let him go.
He's a good guy, you know. Don't break his heart.
I'll be home late.
Honey, Hyung Do.
Wake up.
No, I'm tired.
How could you sleep right now?
What will you do about Father?
What can we do? He wants to stay here.
We should just let him stay with us.
What is this? I did not see this coming.
Seriously, I'm about to lose my mind.
Won Ju.
Why are you suddenly calling me by my name? You're scaring me.
Let's not miss the forest for the trees.
My dad always draws a clear line and does his own thing.
Why did he suddenly decide to come here and live with us?
How would I know what your sly father...
is really thinking?
I think he's doing this to pass the business down to me.
To pass down the business?
Yes, come sit here.
Think about it. I, Bang Hyung Do,
am his only child.
Yes, that's right.
He founded Bangsoo Construction with nothing...
and grew it to what it is today.
Would he want to give it to a stranger?
No, of course not. He should pass it down...
to his only son, Bang Hyung Do.
Exactly.
So while he's staying with us,
be good to him and try to win some brownie points with him.
Now, do you see it?
The big picture my father has in mind.
What? Yes!
I see it. I see it now!
Don't you worry. Once I set my mind to something,
I get it done, you know.
That's right.
Okay.
My gosh. How much did I spend today?
I spent a lot of money.
I hope Ms. Na likes this.
Father.
My goodness. You scared me!
What's up? What brings both of you to my room?
Father, this room is a little cold.
You should just use the master bedroom.
No, I like this room.
I can't sleep comfortably knowing you're using this room.
Just use the master bedroom.
I'm okay. Stop bothering me like this.
And starting tomorrow, I'm going to take cooking classes...
from an expert in traditional Chungcheong cuisine.
Soon, I'll be able to cook your childhood favorites for you.
I see. Okay.
Dad, should I visit you at your office tomorrow?
I can help you at work. It's been a while.
Goodness. What's with you two? You're making me uncomfortable.
Just treat me the way you usually do.
Father, please.
Let Hyung Do help you at work. Please?
I really want to be a dutiful son, Dad.
Okay. Don't worry about the company.
Won Ju.
Yes.
I really enjoyed drinking hot beverages...
while working outside.
Can you make me some hot tea?
That's all I ask for.
Sure. No problem, Father.
Who's here so early?
Auntie?
Hey, why did it take you so long to open the door?
I'm in a rush.
- What? - Goodness.
I said you could leave the side dishes here,
but do you really have to pack your lunch here?
Goodness. Think about it.
If Cho Hee saw me packing my own lunch this early,
she'd feel so bad.
Since when did you care so much about Cho Hee?
Nothing's more pointless than fighting with your daughter-in-law.
Not lover's spats?
Well, that too. It's the same thing.
I should pack some spinach today.
That's supposed to be really good. Ms. Oh recommended it.
Really?
That's right. Go there today and pick up more side dishes.
Already?
I want to get more before I run out of them.
I'll pay you well.
You paid me peanuts last time.
What?
And starting tomorrow, I'll just come in and pack my lunch,
so don't mind me. Sleep all you want.
Then I'm going back to sleep, Auntie.
Oh, no! What time is it now?
I swear, I had set the alarm.
Is my phone broken?
Why didn't the alarm go off?
You hit snooze earlier.
Why did you set your alarm so early? You can't even get up.
What?
Gosh, seriously.
Why are you hitting me first thing in the morning?
I was brewing jujube tea all night for Father.
I fell asleep for a moment.
You should've woken me up instead of just watching me hit snooze.
How could you be so clueless? You fool.
Father.
I'm doomed.
It's a lot of work to pack this for you every morning.
I'm sorry, and thank you.
Ms. Na, I can't wait to taste your side dishes today.
Maybe I should charge more.
Why must I get up so early every morning to do this?
Anyway, I'm off.
My goodness! Why did you grab my wrist?
It's ppageumjang, isn't it?
Sorry? Ppageum... What?
It is, right?
That's your secret.
I'm sure it's ppageumjang.
Why must you ask? You don't need to know.
How did you even think to season spinach using ppageumjang?
What is ppageumjang?
I have no idea what he's saying.
Ms. Na.
You see, I'm so impressed every single day.
Because of your ppageumjang,
I'm... I feel...
What is this?
I found it on the street...
Just kidding.
I just wanted to express how I feel.
Sorry?
This is how you feel?
(The All-Round Wife)
I'm sorry, Ms. Oh.
- I'm back. - Kang Rim, let's talk.
I got a divorce because of him.
You got a divorce?
Do you know how to make ppageumjang?
Ppa...
I thought your father missed your mother's food.
Actually... Never mind. Let's talk later.
Did something happen?
