My gosh, Jang Geum.
(Episode 98)
I know you're busy. Why did you come all the way here?
Come on. I care about you two.
I wanted to drop by and check in on you.
How are you feeling? Are you all right?
You heard everything, right?
Yes.
I understand we can't tell our children what to do,
but I really don't know what to say to comfort you.
Anyway, tell me if there's anything I can do to help.
I'm like your guardian now, you know?
Thanks for saying that,
but there's nothing anyone can do to help us.
So don't worry about it.
She's right.
It's not like we can bring Dong Geun back to life,
and we can't force Kang Rim to break up with her.
PM Cosmetics?
Isn't it a big cosmetics company?
Yes, it's that company.
Sun Hae's father sold the patented technology to them.
I heard it was a technology for treating wrinkles.
Had they developed a product with the technology,
it would've been a hit.
Then Dong Geun's company wouldn't have gone under.
I see.
I think...
I've heard of the patented technology.
What? You have?
Yes, that's right.
But it was a long time ago,
so I'm not too sure.
In any case, I should get going.
- Oh, you're leaving? - Yes.
Thank you for coming by.
My goodness. Of course, I should check in on you.
And make sure you keep the store open.
It's your duty.
Okay. I'll walk you out.
My gosh, there's no need.
Come on, I want to.
- You really don't have to. - My goodness.
- Oh, dear. - Your shoes.
Mr. Kim, it's me. Yes.
It happened over 20 years ago,
so I don't remember much,
but a medium-sized company called PM Cosmetics...
had some kind of problem with patent rights.
Can you look into it?
Also, find out if the people who were involved in it...
are still working in the industry.
Yes, that's right.
Thanks in advance. Bye.
I'm pretty sure it's the incident...
that I remember.
Ms. Na, what's going to happen to us now?
I have no idea either.
We've been banging on the door, but no one's coming.
What if we die in here?
Stop talking nonsense.
Must you say that in front of me, who's old enough to be your mother?
I'm just really scared.
I can't die like this.
I'm only 39 now.
I want to live 50 more years... No.
At least 80 more years!
I want to see Sa Rang enter college,
get married,
have kids.
I want to live until I can meet my great-grandchildren...
and my great-great-grandchildren.
I must.
Goodness, don't worry.
We'll get out of here alive.
Someone will look for us.
They'll come looking for us once they find out they can't reach us.
You think so?
Yes, of course!
Are you hungry?
You can have this.
Isn't this the only one you have?
I'm good. You can have it.
Let's share this.
Here.
It's okay. I'm good.
Let's get out of here alive.
Hold on. Do you have water by any chance?
No, I don't.
- The person you have reached... - Where is she?
She's not picking up.
You can't reach Mom?
No.
Even when she's cleaning,
she always keeps her phone in her pocket.
Clearly, she's playing hard to get.
Playing hard to get?
She's screening your calls on purpose.
Answering the phone right away...
makes you less attractive.
What does that have to do with being attractive?
Come on.
It's important...
to keep the spark alive even after you get married.
You know, the push-pull strategy when you're dating.
Mastering that strategy is the key to a happy marriage.
Do you understand?
I see.
Are you in this mess now...
because you're so good at it?
Goodness.
Must you rub salt into my wound?
I suggest you heed my advice...
because I'm speaking from experience.
My marriage failed because I was bad at it.
Gosh, thinking about it...
is making my heart ache again.
Sorry, my bad.
Just wait. She'll call you back soon.
"My gosh. "
"I was so busy working that I didn't realize I missed your call,"
"Brad."
Look, Seok Gu. At this age,
you don't have time to push and pull.
You have to pull with all your might.
That's how real adults should be when they're in love.
My gosh, you're a real man.
But should I try playing hard to get?
What? Come on now.
(Restricted Area, Do Not Enter)
It's so cold in here.
Then sit here.
It'll be a bit better if we're sitting close together.
What?
Why should I sit that close to you?
Then you can stay there and freeze your butt off.
Gosh, it's so cold.
Can you put your arms around me?
Tighter.
I'm freezing.
Since we won't have another chance like this,
how about we play truth or dare?
Truth or dare?
Don't you know the game?
We'll ask each other questions...
and answer truthfully.
Let's do it.
Well, sure.
You go first.
This is something I've always wanted to know.
My father-in-law...
You married him for his money, didn't you?
My goodness. You're awfully persistent.
No, never!
At first, I didn't even know that he was the chairman...
of Bangsoo Construction.
Really? Can I take your word for it?
Yes, really.
Then why did you fall for him?
He's a stingy cheapskate...
and a mere parking attendant.
When I started...
working as a cleaner at Bangsoo Construction,
I was going through a lot.
And Brad...
was the only person who stood by my side...
and tried to comfort me back then.
He loves and cherishes me.
He made me feel so safe and warm.
What woman wouldn't fall...
for a man like him?
That's it?
No other reasons?
Other reasons?
Like what?
What about you? Why did you fall for Hyung Do?
He was my type.
I always say that he's not my type at all...
and that I only married him for his family's money,
but when I first met Hyung Do,
I could almost see a glowing aura around him.
An aura?
Yes.
In my eyes, he looks even more handsome...
than Hyun Bin and Won Bin.
If he loses some weight, that is.
Then...
try to be more affectionate toward him.
Don't snap at him all the time.
You never have enough time...
to love one another.
Why are you saying stuff like that?
You're making me feel like we're about to die or something.
We won't die in here. What's the matter with you?
Ms. Na.
If you get out alive,
tell Sa Rang...
that her mother loves her very much.
And please tell Hyung Do...
that I will kill him if he gets remarried.
I'll get back at him...
even as a ghost.
This is nice.
Seok Gu, you know when your break will be over, right?
Yes, I'm checking.
I still have three minutes left.
I have to say, it's very quiet here today.
I know.
Mom and Won Ju should be here by now.
My goodness. What is going on?
Mother.
You gave me those pain relief patches last time.
Thank you so much.
And thank you for not telling Father...
that I was the one who threw out the documents.
No problem.
I'm really sorry.
- Right? - Yes.
- Does it look okay? - Yes.
- Mother, someone's here. - Next week...
- Hurry. - Take care of that...
and check the machines.
Will do.
Hello? Over here!
- What's this sound? - Over here!
We're locked in here!
Help! We're dying!
The person you have reached is unavailable. Leave a message...
You think she's playing hard to get? This is too much.
Be patient. Patience always prevails.
No.
Something must've happened to her.
Mom!
Mr. Bang, is my mother here?
Ms. Na? She's probably somewhere cleaning.
They're freaking out outside.
Some cleaners are locked up in the storage room.
I think it's Mom and Won Ju.
What?
Nam Gu!
The lock must be broken.
They can't open it from the outside.
Why did they go into the storage room?
Is someone holding them hostage?
Hey! What are you talking about?
Think about it.
They're married...
to the chairman of Bangsoo Construction and his son.
Maybe they became the target because of that.
Otherwise, why are they locked in there together?
- Oh, dear. - Mr. Bang!
- Hey, hurry. - Wait up!
What? Won Ju is locked in the storage room?
My gosh, honey!
Won Ju!
Why can't you get us out?
Hurry up and help us!
My gosh, calm down and wait.
They said the door was broken.
They should break the door down and get us out.
This way.
- Come on. - Ms. Na.
Ms. Na, are you in there?
Brad.
- Brad! - My gosh, Ms. Na.
Hang in there. I'll get you out very soon!
Mom! It's me, Nam Gu. Are you all right?
Mom, I'm here too!
My gosh! Nam Gu, Seok Gu!
This is nuts.
Where is my husband?
Bang Hyung Do... I miss you.
Honey! Won Ju!
Honey!
- Honey! - Honey, are you okay?
No, I'm not okay.
I'm cold and hungry.
And I want to see you.
She's cold and hungry.
Oh, boy. Hang in there, Won Ju.
How long will this take?
It won't take long.
Honey!
Why can't they get it open?
They'll get it open soon. Hang in there.
Honey...
My goodness.
- It's done. - Really?
Push. In 1, 2, 3.
- My gosh. - Honey.
- Ms. Na! - Brad!
Ms. Na...
My goodness, you must've been so scared.
Brad, I thought I'd never get to see you again.
My gosh.
- Are you okay? - No.
Come here.
Honey, I'll be good to you.
I really can't live without you.
Me too. I can't live without you either.
I was so worried.
It was scary.
My gosh, Ms. Na.
Use this to warm your hands.
You're so delicate.
You must've been freezing in there.
I'm okay, Brad.
Drink this while it's still warm.
You get cold so easily.
You look like you've lost weight in just a few hours.
Thanks, honey.
Mom, are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?
Gosh, don't worry. There's no need.
I feel so cold and lonely.
Today, I feel even lonelier than usual.
They always have to make such a fuss, don't they?
They have one eventful relationship.
I'll be honest.
I was really worried about Mom.
Seok Gu, you should go home alone today.
I'm going to visit my mother-in-law with Cho Hee.
Let me tag along.
Why are you excluding me? This hurts my feelings.
You want to come with us?
Yes. Don't you know that we're a team?
I can't hide like this forever.
I feel so cooped up.
Hang on. Why must I hide?
It's not like I made it up.
I told it like it was.
What brings you by?
You didn't show up, so I thought you quit.
I did some thinking and realized I shouldn't be so intimidated.
What do you mean?
Mr. Soo, nothing happened at the side dish store, right?
The owner fell ill.
That's why the store is closed at the moment.
I wonder what's going on.
Ms. Oh is ill?
I don't know what's going on, but that's my guess.
Since I opened up my store here,
I've never seen her close her store because she was sick.
Was I too harsh?
Mr. Soo, I can go home in a bit if you don't need my help, right?
Whatever.
If you just came out for a walk, leave at once.
I told you to leave.
Gosh, seriously! I will leave in a bit.
Is she seriously ill?
- All right. - I have no appetite.
Don't force me to eat.
Still, you should eat something.
He's right.
I understand you're angry, but you should eat something.
Yes. Eat with us, Mom.
- What are you doing? - Come on.
Let go.
- Don't touch me. - You're still so cranky.
- Sit down, Kang Rim. - Sit.
I don't want to eat. You guys enjoy your dinner.
- Jang Geum. - Mom.
- Gosh, Jang Geum. - Mom.
- Mother. - Mom!
Mom!
Cho Hee.
Honey.
Mom, you won't even talk to me?
Why is this person calling again?
Just a moment.
Mr. Soo, can you step out for a moment?
Sorry?
I have to take this call.
Ms. Ma, this is my shop.
I know that, but it's too cold outside. Please?
Fine.
Who's the boss, and who's the employee here?
Mr. Soo, do you mind taking Jun with you?
- Jun. - Yes.
Let's play outside.
- Okay. - Okay, let's go!
Let's go.
That's it. Let's go.
Hello?
You remember me, right? PM Cosmetics.
Yes, of course.
Thanks to you, I got the money for...
Anyway, why did you call?
Someone's digging into this case.
What do you mean? Who?
So what did you say?
You said it was Choi Hyung Nam, right?
They asked you what he looked like?
Yes, I said he was short and spoke with a Busan accent.
I told them everything I remembered.
A Busan accent?
Okay.
Let's talk again later. I'll look into it too.
A Busan accent?
So, Choi Sun Hae's father was also originally from Busan?
Seul A's father was also short.
Could it be...
No way. What am I thinking?
My husband would never do such a thing.
That can't be.
Mother, have some porridge at least.
I'm not hungry.
Mom, if you don't eat, you'll really ruin your health.
I thought she wouldn't be so upset if I came.
It's not something she can forgive so easily.
She will never forgive him.
She keeps skipping meals.
I'm worried she'd fall seriously ill at this rate.
Whatever, this is all Kang Rim's fault.
Oh, dear. My attorney brother-in-law must be very upset too.
Honey.
I'm contacting my fellow attorneys to get their opinion.
Thanks. I'll ask around too.
Okay.
How's your mother?
Kang Rim.
She'll need some time, you know.
Don't worry. Just be patient.
The entire family is looking after her.
Call me right away if anything happens, okay?
Okay, I will.
Talk to you soon. Bye.
Gosh, you scared me.
There you are, Mungil-dong's true romantic.
When did you sneak in?
So? Have you gotten any closer to the truth?
Any progress?
Is that document authentic?
Don't sit on my bed.
Come on. My coaching inspired you...
to get back together with Professor Choi.
Don't be so cranky.
Your coaching?
So? How far have you two gone so far?
Mr. Kang Seok Gu.
You see, it's important to pace your relationship for the long haul.
Take it slow.
Nice and slow.
As if you're teasing her. It'll make her want you more.
Get out.
Get out?
We're home!
Yes.
Take off your shoes.
Seul A should stay home, with all this going on.
I keep getting a bad feeling.
Hello?
You know who I am, right?
I'm Ma Gab Soon.
I asked you to find Choi Hyung Nam, the swindler.
I need you to do one more thing for me.
Find out where Choi Hyung Nam was originally from...
and what he looked like.
For example, if he was tall or not. Things like that.
Okay.
Let me know.
(The All-Round Wife)
Hyung Do made this. Try it.
- Try this too. - It's so good.
Who knew he'd bring moray soup?
I'll make sure your mom eats this.
What's she doing here?
- Sun Hae! - Ms. Ma?
If we get married, will we be happy?
