(Episode 65)
Now, tell me...
why you kept it from me.
I understand why you couldn't tell me when we first met,
but you had many chances to tell me the truth.
I did tell you, although it was too late.
But you assumed that I just had the same name as his.
I know. I should've tried harder to explain.
Even if I had to drag you to the chairman's office,
I should have told you the truth.
I was too foolish.
But why do you practically live in the parking management office...
when you have your chairman's office?
Because I'm more comfortable there.
You'll find it hard to believe, but I feel more comfortable there.
I moved to Seoul without a plan right after high school.
Starting with jobs at construction sites,
I've worked all sorts of jobs.
But I stayed determined and held out.
And I was fortunate enough to meet wonderful people who helped me.
So somehow, I managed to get to where I am today.
But once I got there,
I didn't feel like I belong there.
I felt like I was trapped in the chairman's office all alone.
Even so, how could you stay in the parking office all day...
and deceive everyone?
You're surveilling your employees.
That was never my intention,
but if that's what people think,
I have nothing to say.
Do you know...
why I'm so angry at you?
Of course, I do. Lying is such a terrible thing.
I haven't felt this way...
in so long.
My feelings for you were real.
I was really sincere...
in my feelings to you.
So was I.
I was sincere too.
I really was.
That's why I couldn't tell you.
Ms. Na.
Just once more.
Please give me one more chance.
I won't lie to you again, ever.
You have my word.
But...
I am worried about something.
What is it?
Tell me. I'll take care of it, no matter what it is.
Your daughter-in-law...
My gosh, don't you worry about that.
I'll take care of it, okay?
They're on their own.
We have our own life to live.
You see,
we don't have time to worry...
about what others might think, right?
We don't even have enough time...
to love and care for each other,
so let's not waste our precious time worrying about others.
My goodness.
I didn't buy you that handkerchief so you can wipe your tears.
Okay, I won't cry anymore.
Good. That's what I like to hear.
From now on,
you can just trust me. Okay?
Brad.
Yes.
All right.
Did the talk go well?
Did you clear up the misunderstanding?
Yes.
He kept apologizing.
I felt bad.
I'm glad. This will make the two of you bond even more.
No, I like the way things are now.
Okay. Just be there for each other as you have been.
I'm rooting for the two of you.
Brad's daughter-in-law is the problem.
That's what I'm worried about.
What did he say?
He told me not to worry. He said to just trust him.
Then don't worry about a thing.
Won Ju and I are on good terms now.
You are?
Yes, of course.
You and Mr. Bang are so happy together.
I figured we shouldn't stay hostile to each other.
My gosh. Thank you, Cho Hee. Thank you so much.
Don't mention it, Mother.
Is it Mr. Bang?
Yes.
- Hello? - Ms. Na, did you get home safely?
Yes. What about you, Brad?
Right, how are you feeling?
I see. I'm okay too.
Honey, is Mom really okay now?
Yes. She wasn't feeling so well earlier,
but I took her out to get some air, so she's okay now.
I'm glad.
That reminds me. I saw Professor Choi earlier.
How is Sun Hae?
Better than I thought.
I got paid for the project, so I offered to buy her dinner,
but she invited us over for dinner instead.
When are you free?
She said to pick the date and let her know.
Really?
Then I'll check my schedule and call her.
Okay, sounds good.
- Eat jam, not ham - Eat jam, not ham
- Honey. - Yes.
When Father was leaving, didn't you feel like something was up?
Dad? What about him?
He was bedridden.
How did he manage to fully recover overnight?
Was he faking it?
Goodness. How could you say that about your father-in-law?
He was like a different person today.
He was humming as he was heading out to go to work.
Mom's right. Grandpa seemed to be in such a great mood today.
And he told me that I could go over to Ri An's place.
Nice. You must be very excited, Sa Rang.
Yes, I'm so excited.
Mom, Grandpa is the boss here,
so it means I can go to Ri An's place, right?
You want to go over to Ri An's place again?
Yes.
You said you and Ri An's mother made up.
Why do you look so displeased?
Don't tell me...
it's because of Lee Hyun Woo.
What? Honey!
Dad, who is Lee Hyun Woo?
- Lee Hyun Woo is Mom's first... - Hey!
Sa Rang, go to your room. You need to do your homework.
Kids should play during their winter break.
Absolutely. That's what the winter break is for, right?
That's right.
Well, Brad.
Yes.
We shouldn't keep any secrets from each other now.
That said, there's something I must tell you...
Don't you worry.
I'm going to tell you everything from now on.
It's not that.
- You know, the side dishes... - Yes.
They're exceptionally tasty today.
I fell for you because of your side dishes.
Right, because of the side dishes...
You're right.
We met because of the side dishes.
I know.
Your delicious foods make my heart melt.
These side dishes...
are what makes your heart melt?
Yes, that's right.
Hey, it's me.
You found them?
Their daughters live in Seoul?
My gosh. Are you sure?
Thank goodness.
Mr. Kim, can you text me their address?
Thank you.
Bye.
Did you find someone you were looking for?
Yes. I rented a room from a couple when I first moved to Seoul.
I found their daughters.
They were also from my hometown, so I could really depend on them.
Without that couple,
I wouldn't be where I am today.
I am deeply indebted to them.
Where is that couple now?
They passed away.
But I found their daughters.
I see.
My gosh, that lady made such delicious ppageumjang.
Oh, really?
Yes.
My gosh, they live in Mungil-dong.
Ms. Na, I'm sorry.
But I have to go.
Don't worry. Just get going. I'll clean up.
Okay, thank you.
See you.
(Cometome)
You must be disappointed, Mother.
I'm sure you wanted to spend time with him all day.
Yes, all right.
I'll see you at home in the evening.
Hello, are you here to meet someone?
Is Senior Manager Seo Cho Hee here?
Oh, Ms. Seo.
Ms. Seo, you have a visitor.
A visitor?
Hey, Bo Ri.
Cho Hee!
You told Ms. Seo?
Yes. I went to see her as soon as I got here.
Mr. Yang.
You didn't tell her on purpose, right?
Right.
I was afraid it'd make her uncomfortable if she found out.
I knew it.
You're so wise!
Bo Ri.
Yes?
What do you think of me?
What do you mean?
What do you really think of me?
Right.
I should be honest, right?
Yes, please. Tell me what you honestly think.
Do you remember the day I came here with Cho Hee...
and met you for the first time?
Right, that day.
Of course, I remember.
To tell you the truth,
I was smitten by you the moment I first saw you.
Really?
Yes, really. You said I should be honest.
Then I was a step too late.
For me, it began...
the day I saw you drunk.
Shall we step out for a cup of tea?
Sure, sounds good.
(Sisters Side Dish)
My gosh.
This must be it.
The sisters must be good cooks because of their mother.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Hello.
Are you looking for something specific?
Jang Geum.
How long has it been?
Bae Soo?
Yes. Do you recognize me?
It's me, Bae Soo. Bang Bae Soo.
Who is he?
You must be Poong Geum.
That little girl is all grown up now!
Jang Geum, who is he?
Bae Soo.
It's good to see you.
It's so good to see you again.
Seok Gu, hey!
Wake up, you fool!
Mr. Bang left early.
You shouldn't be napping here.
Gosh, please! The parking lot is empty today.
Empty or not.
You shouldn't be napping here during your shift!
Gosh, seriously!
I wanted to take a quick nap while Mr. Bang was gone.
You're acting as though you're my boss.
I manage the parking lot,
and you're here to clean.
Let's just do our own jobs.
Why must you nag me like this?
Shut it, you brat! Get back to work at once.
If you keep lazing around here, I'll tell Brad...
I mean, I'll tell Mr. Bang on you.
- Go! Get back to work! - Okay, I heard you.
- Hurry! - Goodness.
Good grief.
I wonder when Brad will be back.
(Sisters Side Dish)
My gosh.
I can't believe we met again like this.
This feels like a dream.
I know.
I never thought I'd actually meet you...
and Poong Geum again.
My goodness.
I heard your parents passed away.
I should have visited sooner.
They talked about you a lot.
They said you'd be successful no matter what you do.
By the way, how have you been?
Well, I worked all sorts of jobs and...
And?
I am successful now.
Really?
I knew you'd make it.
What do you do now? How did you become successful?
Well, I just build residential buildings.
You said you'd start a company that builds everyone's home in Korea.
I suppose you managed to make that dream come true.
Yes, I did.
What's the company called?
My gosh. Would you know if I told you the name?
I'm not sure, but I might.
Anyway, it's so nice to see you again.
Hearing that you're a successful man now...
would have made our parents very happy.
Yes, I'm sure.
I never once forgot their kindness.
They thought of you as their own son.
That's why they wanted to help you in every way they could.
Oh, dear. When I moved to Seoul without a plan,
I realized how tough it'd be to survive here.
Without their help,
I would've given up and moved back right away.
My gosh. You're successful now, and we met again like this.
So let's stop talking about the hard times.
All I remember is you carrying me on your shoulders.
You remember that?
Poong Geum, you look just like you did as a child.
Gosh, no way.
You've changed a lot.
I could hardly recognize you.
Really?
Because I'm so handsome now?
What?
Yes, that's right.
Anyway, now that we met again like this,
we should see each other often.
Make sure you talk to me when you're going through something.
Consider me your guardian from now on.
Guardian? My goodness.
Come on. We're growing old together.
Come on, Jang Geum.
I'm so happy to have a big brother we can rely on.
I never got to repay your parents for their kindness,
so I want to take care of you instead.
You got all the documents, right?
Yes, Professor Choi.
Good.
Yes, come in.
- Sun Hae. - Hey, Kang Rim.
- Hello, Professor Seo. - Hello.
Why are you here? School's closed for the winter break.
I was in the area and thought you might be in your office.
But I guess you're busy.
What? Yes, the dean wants to meet with me all of a sudden.
I see. Then I should leave.
I thought we could go for a cup of tea if you were free.
Sorry. It's an important meeting, so I can't cancel it.
Don't worry about it. It's not like we were supposed to meet.
I'll see you another time.
Okay, let's do that. Call me before you come by.
Okay.
- Get back safely. - Bye.
(Hankang University Law School)
Oh, I almost forgot this.
Here, this too.
Yes, thanks.
- I should take this too. - Yes.
Jang Geum, are you reminded of the old days?
What?
Yes. The time when we lived in Hwangseok-dong...
feels like only yesterday,
but we've aged so much.
I know, right?
Seeing Bae Soo made me miss Mom and Dad more.
By the way, didn't Bae Soo have a crush on you back then?
Hey, what are you talking about?
Come on. I was only a kid back then,
but I clearly remember the difference between the way...
he looked at me and the way he looked at you.
He couldn't even look you straight in the eye.
That's not true.
You were a kid, so he adored you.
But I'm only a few years younger, so he must've been uncomfortable.
Don't you think Mom and Dad...
wanted him to be their son-in-law?
That's probably why they took such good care of him...
even though he's not related to us at all. Am I wrong?
Sure, keep on writing your novel, Poong Geum.
What? A romantic novel?
Hello.
- Yes, hello... - Hello.
My gosh, the aprons look so good on you.
Hey, I said we shouldn't wear these.
Are you here to pick up side dishes?
No, that's not why I'm here.
I'm here to express my gratitude.
Gratitude?
Yes.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Mom, Auntie Poong Geum.
- Hey, Cho Hee. - Hi.
Hello.
Hello. What are you doing here?
Can't you tell? I'm cleaning the table now.
Are you here to pick up side dishes? What would you like?
Pardon me?
Auntie Poong Geum, what is she saying now?
My gosh. Why are you being like this?
We never asked you to do this.
Yes, you're making us uncomfortable.
You made us these aprons. We really appreciate it.
No, I should thank you.
You saved my son's life.
I should do something to show you my gratitude.
Well, we didn't really save his life.
Anyone would have done the same thing...
for a sick kid in that situation.
Mom, can I get a plastic bag?
I'll pick what I need.
Sure.
My gosh, you're running low on a lot of things.
Yes. We were overwhelmed with customers in the afternoon.
They bought everything.
- Really? - Yes.
Mom, you must be happy that the business is doing so well.
And you work at a big ad agency, I hear?
Well, yes.
Eligible bachelorettes must be lining up to marry Mr. Attorney.
Right?
Not really.
Kang Rim has no interest in getting married.
Really? He's so handsome and capable.
Why doesn't he want to get married?
My point exactly. We're so frustrated too.
Forget marriage. He was never...
- even interested in... - Auntie Poong Geum.
My gosh, me and my mouth.
Ms. Oh, you must be anxious.
Your son is such a catch, but he's growing old alone.
He's an adult, so I can't tell him what to do.
If I force him to go on a blind date, it won't go well.
Maybe...
your son prefers younger women.
What?
Women who are at least ten years younger than him.
Excuse me. What did you just say?
Why? Did I say something wrong?
Roasted sweet potatoes must be eaten when they're warm.
It's hot.
Here, try it.
My gosh.
I thought you were going straight home.
I came back because I wanted to see you.
You'll see me tomorrow anyway. Why bother?
Come on.
Right, did you meet the couple's daughters?
Yes, I did.
I think they went through a lot.
But they're doing well now.
I should take care of them from now on.
Yes, you should.
You said their parents helped you out a lot.
You should take good care of them from now on.
My gosh, Ms. Na.
Your heart is as beautiful as your face.
I didn't even do anything.
My gosh, you're so cute.
Stay just like that. I want to take a picture of you.
My gosh, you're so pretty.
One more time.
Gosh, stop it.
(The All-Round Wife)
Your big brother?
Maybe he was your mom's first love.
You'd better not say that in front of him.
I'm so curious about this man now.
Mom's not home yet.
Maybe she went out to meet someone.
Meet who?
Mom, are you sure you're not seeing someone?
What are you talking about?
- Keep a close watch on her? - I think...
my mom is seeing someone.
