(Episode 57)
Do you have something to say to us?
Well... The thing is...
Please go ahead, Ms. Na.
What's with those faces?
They're making it so hard for me to apologize.
About my son Seok Gu...
Yes.
I mean...
I apologize to you...
on behalf of my younger son.
- Pardon? - Jang Geum.
I'm very sorry for what he did.
I did a bad job at raising him.
I heard that my son Seok Gu had come here last night...
and caused a commotion.
I'm really sorry about that.
Oh, but... You don't have to apologize for that.
She's right. Everyone makes a mistake once in a while.
You didn't have to come to apologize for what he did.
That's not true. Of course I should be apologizing.
It was wrong of him to cause a scene in front of you, Ms. Oh.
(Sisters Side Dish)
What? Isn't she Ms. Na?
(Today's Side Dishes)
I guess she came here to complain after all.
Mom must be putting up with her helplessly.
You're putting us in an awkward position.
She's right, Ms. Na.
You don't have to apologize just as I said.
Ms. Na, you got the wrong idea.
My brother has done nothing wrong.
Hey, Bo Ri.
Bo Ri, stop it and listen to me.
What?
That's not what she's here for.
What do you mean by that?
Bo Ri, greet her properly first.
Oh, okay. Hello, Ms. Na.
What brings you to my mom's store?
I feel too ashamed to see you too, Bo Ri.
Right, Bo Ri. Ms. Na is here...
to apologize for what Seok Gu did last night.
Really?
I'm sorry for his behavior, Bo Ri.
You don't have to apologize to me.
Oh, right. I totally forgot.
I'll go and bring you something to drink, Ms. Na.
I heard that you had gotten a job.
It must be hard for you.
Yes, that's true. It might be a little bit too late,
but still, I want to help Nam Gu and Cho Hee as much as I can.
Cho Hee works really hard to make money too, you know.
That's very thoughtful of you, Ms. Na.
Not at all. That's not true.
Oh, right.
I'm grateful to you for sending side dishes.
I enjoyed everything.
You're such an amazing cook.
My mom's food is really good.
So a lot of her customers have been regulars here for a long time.
Oh, I see. That's great.
I should be thanking you for enjoying my food.
Especially your ppageumjang is incredibly tasty.
I'm surprised that you know about ppageumjang, Ms. Na.
Many people know how it tastes,
but only a few know what it's called.
Please drink this.
Thank you for this.
Let's check.
(Get 3 packs for 10 dollars.)
I need to get some of that,
so I can pack lunch for Brad tomorrow.
But I can't get myself to say it.
What should I do?
That being said...
I would like to...
I'd like to buy...
- Oh, gosh. - Pardon me?
What a shame. We sold out all the side dishes...
made with ppageumjang.
I was going to pack some for Ms. Na.
What?
That's okay. Don't worry about it.
Did you, Mother?
You visited my mom at her store by yourself?
I wanted to drag Seok Gu there...
and make him get down on his knees...
and apologize to Kang Rim.
But I couldn't.
You did the right thing. You didn't have to bring him there.
You're right.
Seok Gu wouldn't have agreed to go there.
So can you go to see your mother and explain to her?
Well... Also, can you...
Yes. I'm listening, Mother.
Can you...
No. Never mind.
I'll see you at home later in the evening.
Why couldn't I tell her to pick up some side dishes?
Why? I need those side dishes.
Gosh. This is so frustrating.
When Ms. Na came into the store, which was totally unexpected,
I thought she had come to complain about Kang Rim.
I was so surprised and flustered.
My heart is still pounding.
She's going to find out anytime soon.
She came all the way here and apologized to us.
I couldn't just tell her the truth. I felt bad.
Since we can't keep it from her forever,
she'll find out soon anyway.
Cho Hee, I've been meaning to ask you this.
What's in that paper bag?
Oh, my. I must say, you sure are observant.
Here. I got you a present because you made me proud.
Oh, yes.
What is this?
Hey, I thought you would be excited.
But you look disappointed.
It's not like that. I'm really excited.
(High School Diploma Exam Prep Workbook)
- Hey. - Thank you, Cho Hee.
Bo Ri, make sure to pass the exam. Do you understand?
Since you started studying later than others,
study harder.
All right. I'll do that. If you could stop nagging me,
I think I can pass the exam on my first try.
Goodness, you.
She's all words again.
Mom.
Why?
How did you feel when you bought this house?
That's so random. Why are you asking that?
Actually, my company is trying to get an apartment ad project.
So I need some great ideas.
I've been thinking about how it would feel...
to own a house. That's why I'm asking.
When I bought this house,
I thought of your dad.
After your dad passed away,
I was left alone...
with my three children who were all very young.
I didn't know what to do.
Do you remember when we lived in a rooftop studio?
Come on. Of course I remember those days.
It was too hot in summer and too cold in winter in there.
Besides, the roof leaked during the rainy season.
I think I remember that rooftop studio as well.
I don't know how we all lived in that tiny place together.
Don't get me started. I couldn't shower comfortably...
or sleep with my legs straight.
Right. You all went through such a hard time.
You studied on a dining table in that small place.
Back then, my only wish was to get a nice house...
where I could keep you all safe and warm.
My goodness. It feels like yesterday.
Time flew by so quickly.
And then I opened up my store.
Without Poong Geum's help,
I wouldn't have been able to buy this house.
Jang Geum, you see...
I remember the day when we registered our new address.
Remember how we cried our hearts out...
in each other's arms?
"Now, we don't have to move to another house with the kids."
"We can relax in our own house without worrying about anything."
Oh, dear. I'm tearing up since I'm talking about those days.
I remember how we felt that day.
Mom.
Mom, are you crying?
Cho Hee, whatever we went through,
that's what this house means to me.
I understand.
Good.
That's really amazing.
Dad, can I go to Sa Rang's house tomorrow?
Sa Rang invited me to her pajamas party.
Sure. I'll drive you to her house.
Thank you.
What is this?
That's so funny.
What are you looking at? What's so funny?
Show me.
Sa Rang sent me a funny photo of her and her grandfather.
- Show me. - Here you go.
That's hilarious.
- I didn't know he was so funny. - Show me too.
I see that her grandfather is quite funny.
I can't believe you guys.
What's so funny about looking at her grandfather's photo?
But he looks really funny in this photo.
Mom, do you want to take a look?
Gosh, no. I'll pass.
Why would I look at the photo of that mean woman's family?
Ri An, here's your phone.
Yes, Grandma.
And I'll go back to my room to do my homework.
- Okay. Go on. - Okay. Go and study, Ri An.
Yes, Dad.
Mom, I know you don't like them, but Sa Rang is Ri An's friend.
I don't care. Whenever I think of Sa Rang's mother's face,
I lose my appetite.
Right. I understand.
That's that. Professor Kang, before Seok Gu gets divorced,
how about we consult with Kang Rim?
Pardon?
You said that he specialized in divorce.
So he must know what Seok Gu can do to prevent a divorce.
He could give some legal help too. What do you say?
Well, that's... Mom.
Gosh, Mom. I don't like the idea. I'll never do that.
What do you mean?
I'm relieved that we have an in-law who is an attorney we can count on.
Still, I don't want that. I'll figure something out.
So mind your own business.
Then why don't you get a job for a change?
You see, Brad...
I mean, will you start working as a parking attendant...
while learning the work from the elderly man you saw or not?
I already told you I wouldn't do that.
If you really think you can figure out your life,
move out right now. Just pack up and leave.
- Come on, Mom. - Move out.
Fine. I'll do that. Happy now?
You're always all talking.
Do you like it, Dad?
She followed a ppageumjang master's recipe.
This isn't the taste I wanted.
It's not?
That's weird. I did everything written in the recipe.
Honey, did you buy it at a store, by any chance?
Ms. Na's ppageumjang is the best just as I thought.
"Ms. Na"?
Who is Ms. Na, Father?
What? Ms. Na... Never mind.
Oh, dear. I should go to sleep now.
Are you going to bed so early?
I feel sleepy in the early evening these days.
You two should turn off the lights and go to bed now as well.
You're wasting your money by keeping them turned on.
Good night, Father.
Good night.
That was strange. I think something's going on.
Honey, do you know who Ms. Na is?
No, I have no idea.
Who could be this lady called Ms. Na who made ppageumjang?
I have a feeling about all this.
You have a feeling? About what?
A very bad feeling, at that.
You didn't have to bring so much food. How sweet.
Are you happy, Mother?
Isn't this ppageumjang?
Yes, it is. I heard that you had talked about it.
Me?
Oh, right. Yes, I did. I talked about it.
I'll make a few side dishes using this ppageumjang.
If this sauce can increase your appetite,
I should make food with it as your daughter-in-law, right?
Thank you, Cho Hee.
Then Mother, please go to rest.
Cho Hee.
Let me help you.
So that I can improve my cooking skills.
Really? You want to help?
Yes. What should I do first?
I have an idea. Let's season some spinach and cucumber...
using this ppageumjang.
Since you saw your mother cooking many times,
I'm sure you can make food taste like hers.
Well, it won't be the same,
but I guess I can make the taste close to it.
That's good enough for me.
I'll be counting on you, Cho Hee.
You'll be counting on me?
I'm talking about my lunch for tomorrow.
I mean, I'm worried that we don't have enough food...
for our family to eat.
Let's start cooking. What should I do first?
You can tell me to do anything.
I'll work hard as your cooking assistant today.
Then please take some cucumber and spinach out of the fridge.
Cucumber and spinach? Okay.
Cucumber and spinach.
Thank you, Mother.
Hi, Bo Ri.
Sun Hae, my mom told me to drop off...
some side dishes at your place tomorrow.
What time will you be at home?
That's okay. Tell her that she doesn't have to.
I have to leave home for a few days.
You'll be away?
Are you going on a trip?
Of course not.
The heating system is broken, and hot water doesn't come out.
So I'll stay at a hotel until it's fixed.
Sun Hae, why don't you stay at our house?
What are you talking about? Did something happen at her house?
I can't do that.
I don't want to cause any inconvenience.
You won't. Don't worry. Just come to our house.
Right. Do as she says, Sun Hae.
It'll be uncomfortable for you to stay at a hotel.
So stay with us at our house.
Bo Ri, I don't think I should do so.
Why not?
Is it because of Kang Rim?
What?
Kang Rim, the heating system in Sun Hae's house is broken,
and she's shivering in cold in her own house.
Do you mind her staying with us? Will that be uncomfortable?
Gosh, Bo Ri.
You don't mind, do you?
What about you, Mom?
I'd be happy if she stays with us.
Right?
Sun Hae, my mom and Kang Rim said they didn't mind.
So hurry up and come.
What are you doing? Stop it.
Wait, no. Maybe I should tell Kang Rim to pick you up.
That's a great idea.
He can pick her up.
Kang Rim, you can pick her up at her house now, right?
What?
No, that's okay, Bo Ri.
Yes. I'll go to your house.
Okay. Then I'll call you when I arrive.
When Mom bought her house,
she thought about the years when she went through hardship.
Honey, are you done yet?
No, I have to finish this before going to bed.
Don't wait up for me.
Can't you finish it at work tomorrow?
I should submit this by tomorrow morning.
It's online bidding,
so the proposal alone is what determines the result.
I really want to get this project.
It'll work out well for you.
There's no way you won't get it since you're working so hard.
Thank you. You cheered me up.
Hello. I'm here.
Welcome, Sun Hae.
I'm glad you're here.
I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
Don't be. It's not like we're strangers.
I'm happy that you're here.
She's right. It won't be as comfortable as your own home,
but I hope you will enjoy your stay with us.
I'm worried that it'll be inconvenient for you all.
It'll be more inconvenient for you.
You've been living alone for a long time.
I'm not sure about that.
Sun Hae, let's go to my room. You can use my bed.
How inconsiderate. That'll make Sun Hae uncomfortable.
You should let her stay in your room alone.
Then what about me?
You can sleep with us, Bo Ri.
How can all three of us sleep in that tiny room?
Ms. Oh, I would feel bad if you all sleep together.
Don't worry. It'd be nice to sleep with her since it's been a while.
But I don't want to.
My goodness. Sun Hae, go and get some rest.
Bo Ri, let's go to our room and rest too.
- Let's go. - But I'm not sleepy yet.
There you go.
I think I should go to bed too.
Thank you, Ms. Oh. Good night.
Mom, good night.
Good night to you too. You two have a nice chat...
before going to bed.
See you tomorrow, Ms. Oh.
It happened this way.
I'm sure it'll be better for you to stay here than at a hotel.
Do you think so?
Well, I guess. Anyway, don't mind me...
and make yourself at home while you're here.
Okay. Thank you.
Then rest up.
Bo Ri's room is that way.
Okay.
What is going on?
I think this is good enough.
Her daughter made it using her ppageumjang.
So I'm sure it'll taste just like her food.
Mom, I need to make deliveries now.
Go home with Jun.
Don't worry about us.
Go on now.
Sir, something urgent came up, so I should go somewhere.
Can you look after Jun for a while?
Mom.
Listen, ma'am. This is your daughter's workplace.
You shouldn't leave your child here.
I just thought that I could trust you with my child...
since you seemed to adore him.
I guess I was wrong about it. I'm sorry.
I mean, I do adore him.
But it's dangerous for a little kid to play in here.
I understand.
Oh, dear. Then what should I do with Jun?
Sir, I'm very sorry.
Mom, come with me.
- Jun, let's get going. - Okay.
I see. So everyone agreed on it?
Okay. Then proceed with it as it's been decided.
You all did a great job.
Okay.
Oh, my. You were in here.
Ms. Na, you're here.
Yes, I'm here. Here's your lunch, Brad.
Even the lunch boxes you brought look pretty.
- Or not. - Oh, please.
Stop making lame jokes and start eating.
You must be hungry.
This is not it.
What do you mean by that?
This doesn't taste the same.
What? That can't be.
I made it by myself last night.
Oh, right. Here. Try the seasoned spinach too.
This doesn't taste the same either.
I bet you didn't make these.
He's unbelievable.
How did he know?
Ms. Na.
Is everything okay?
Of course, everything is okay.
Then...
Why doesn't your food taste as good as before?
Maybe it's because I haven't been feeling so well.
That's exactly my point.
You must've been so stressed out...
seeing that your food doesn't taste the same.
I'll make it as good as before starting tomorrow.
- Oh, right. By the way, Brad. - Yes.
- About my younger son... - Your younger son?
Oh, the jobless one?
Yes. You offered him a position as your assistant, right?
Does that offer still stand?
Of course. But I'm not sure if he's even interested in that job.
Of course, he is.
He's not in a position to be picky about jobs.
Oh, really?
Then I'll interview him tomorrow before deciding.
Is an interview necessary?
I thought he could start working right away.
Do you think it's an easy job that anyone can work?
I told you to keep personal matters separate from work.
Although he's your son,
it's not right to give him the job without even a job interview.
All right. I'll bring him tomorrow.
Good. You should always follow proper procedures.
I guess I won't enjoy your food as much as I did before.
Yes, this is Seo Cho Hee of Planning Team One.
Oh, I see. I understand.
Thank you for letting us know.
Ms. Seo.
As for the Bangsoo Construction project,
we got it!
Congratulations, Ms. Seo.
You almost got me. I'm so excited.
I knew we'd win it.
- This is amazing. - Indeed.
- I'm so excited. - Me too.
(Bangsoo Construction)
Ms. Na, stop there for a minute.
Why? Do you have something to say to me?
You don't have a fever.
Old people around our age...
couldn't feel any sadder when they're sick.
My dear Ms. Na,
don't get sick.
And make sure to take medicine.
What...
Why...
(The All-Round Wife)
What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?
I no longer feel sad even when I'm not feeling well.
You should never tell Won Ju, okay?
You came back here. I'm surprised.
Stick around for just a little while.
You're making him uncomfortable, Father.
Sun Hae, are you here to pick up side dishes?
We're not in that kind of relationship.
Don't jump to a conclusion.
