(Episode 99)
Mom, I see you're still up.
Where have you been? Why did you stay out so late?
I went to the library to write a resume.
A resume?
Yes.
I quit working at Attorney Seo's office.
Good. I'm glad you did.
Never get involved with his family again.
Mom.
Why?
Let's forget about what happened and start anew.
Promise me you won't take this any further.
Please do that for me.
It's because you, Jun, and I... And...
Anyway, we can become happy, just us together.
Don't you think so?
Where did she go at this hour?
Oh, my. Honey.
What are you doing at such a late hour?
Hey, you're up.
I was worried about Mom since she refused to eat.
Is she still refusing to eat?
Yes.
So what are you making?
Well... I'm making moray soup.
Whenever my siblings and I were sick,
Mom made it for us.
And it always gave me energy and cheered me up.
This time, I'm making it for her as she did for me.
Since you're making it with a lot of effort and affection,
I hope that Mother will eat it at least for you.
Me too.
I'll drop it off at her house on my way to work tomorrow.
Oh, and I'll make enough for us too.
Pack some for your lunch tomorrow.
Thank you.
I'm still so sleepy.
Oh, Dad.
Hyung Do, what are you doing here so early in the morning?
I'm here to pack lunch for Won Ju.
What about you, Dad?
I came here to pack lunch for Ms. Na.
What? You too?
Yes.
Hey, give me an apron if you have an extra one.
Oh, my. Dad.
Oh, when did Hyung Do get up?
Honey.
My dear husband, where are you?
Hyung Do.
Honey... Oh, Mother.
Did you sleep well?
You must've been scared yesterday.
Well... I slept well.
Did you sleep well, Won Ju?
I hope you didn't catch a cold.
I slept like a baby thanks to Hyung Do.
Oh, I see. I slept well thanks to Brad.
That's great.
Ms. Na.
I told you to stay in bed. Why did you come out?
Go back in and go back to sleep.
That's okay. I have to make breakfast...
and pack lunch.
Don't worry about that. I'm already doing it.
What?
Honey, what were you doing in the kitchen wearing an apron?
I was packing lunch for you too.
Dad and I will prepare breakfast and pack your lunch.
You two can go back to bed.
Won Ju, leave the cooking to me and go back to sleep.
But still, how can I go back to sleep...
while you and Father are cooking?
- I'll do it. - No. It's okay.
Hyung Do and I will do it today.
So you should go back in too, Won Ju.
- Please go on. - Father.
If you think you will feel that bad,
have some coffee with Ms. Na.
Ms. Na, wait here with Won Ju just for a while.
I'll make some coffee for you two quickly.
- Right. - But... Brad.
Well... Won Ju, let's sit down here.
The two of them seem so determined.
Then shall we?
- Let's go, Dad. - Okay.
Don't tell her that I made this...
when you give it to her.
Got it.
I'll make sure your mom will eat this.
Thank you, Auntie Poong Geum.
I'm sorry if you had to wake up earlier than usual because of me.
No, that's not the case. I was going to get up early,
and open the store even if I had to work alone.
Don't you worry. You should go to work now.
Okay, Auntie Poong Geum. Please take good care of Mom.
Don't worry about your mom.
Bo Ri and I are here to take care of her.
All right. I'll get going now.
Okay. See you later.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Here you go.
Jang Geum, I brought you some moray soup.
You like it, don't you?
There.
Do you like it? Is it good?
I guess Cho Hee came by.
What?
Yes, she did.
She came by to drop this off this morning,
saying she was worried about you.
(Bangsoo Construction)
What?
He turned the offer down when you went all the way to his workshop?
My gosh.
Well, we have no choice...
if nothing can change his mind.
Anyway, I understand. Let's talk later.
- Here... - I can't believe this.
Have some hot green tea, Mr. Bang.
Oh, my. Thank you.
I guess you haven't closed the deal with Artist Baek Jun Ha.
No, we haven't. I mean, he won't make any concessions.
There's nothing we can do.
Maybe we should find another artist or something. Gosh.
But didn't you choose him because his work would suit...
the concept of Noble River Vill?
Yes, that's right. We couldn't find any other artist better than him.
Even so, the place where people live...
is more important than a sculpture.
We should come up with a new plan or something. Seriously.
Oh, no. Our break time is almost over. Gosh.
Oh, you're right. Then I'll see you at lunch break.
Okay. See you then.
It's giving me a headache.
What do we do? My gosh.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Jang Geum.
You need to rest.
I'm fine. Lying in my room only makes me feel cooped up.
We got a large order for japchae.
We should order more noodles.
Are you sure you're all right?
I'm fine.
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
(Sisters Side Dish)
She must've gotten better...
seeing that she came to work.
I'm relieved.
What has gotten into you?
You never come on time.
Why would you nitpick at me first thing in the morning?
There's nothing strange about it.
Where's Jun?
Did you leave him with the babysitter as usual?
No, Seul A is looking after him.
She has a lot of free time as she's looking for a new job.
A new job?
Are you saying that she quit working with the attorney?
She had her reasons.
Things aren't working out for me.
Pardon?
(Sisters Side Dish, Premium Dry Cleaning)
Oh, gosh.
What's wrong?
She disabled her phone number and ghosted me.
Then why would she show up all of a sudden?
(Sisters Side Dish)
Sun Hae!
(Sisters Side Dish)
Ms. Ma.
I wanted to go out and catch Choi Sun Hae.
Why did Ms. Oh come out right at that moment?
Wait, no.
Now that I told Ms. Oh's family about Choi Sun Hae's father,
that wench won't give me the money as she promised.
What if she demands to get the money she gave me back?
What should I do if she does?
Ms. Ma, what did you say?
Nothing.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Jang Geum.
Why do you look so upset suddenly?
Poong Geum, I'll go upstairs. I'll be back shortly.
Okay.
I'm so happy...
that you're the one who received this ring.
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
And I'm sorry, Ms. Oh.
That day...
She came here to say goodbye to me.
She must have been devastated...
when she came to see me.
(Cometome)
Hi, everyone.
- Mr. Ko. - Hello, Mr. Ko.
Tomorrow, we'll see the rough cut of the Bangsoo Construction ad, right?
Yes, sir.
Is it done?
It will be done by the end of today.
My, I'm so excited to see it.
Mr. Yang, did you see it, by any chance?
Not yet. I'll see it with everyone else tomorrow as well.
If the commercial becomes successful,
I won't transfer your team members to other teams.
Does it sound good?
Really?
Are you serious, Mr. Ko?
It was none other than you who asked me that favor.
Of course, I should do it for you.
You're saying that we won't be separated, right, Mr. Ko?
Yes, but only if the commercial becomes successful.
Don't forget that.
We're not worried about that. We're confident, sir.
We have a feeling that it'll be a big hit.
Then what about me?
Will I be able to keep working with this team too?
Well... About the renewal of your contract...
I'm sure you don't have to worry about it, Ro Mi.
Thank you, Mr. Ko.
All right. Keep up the good work, everyone.
- Yes, sir. We'll do our best. - Good.
- Goodbye, sir. - Thank you, sir.
Ms. Seo, you'll go out for lunch with us, right?
I'm sorry. I have something to do during my lunch break.
You guys should go without me.
Okay.
Auntie Poong Geum.
Hey, you're here, Cho Hee.
Yes.
Bo Ri.
Hey, Bo Ri.
Hi, Cho Hee.
Well... Where's Mom?
She's upstairs.
She did eat some of the moray soup you made...
this morning.
But since then, she's been just sitting there with a sad face.
Whose fault is that?
It's all because Kang Rim and Sun Hae.
You're responsible too, Cho Hee.
Bo Ri.
I'll go and talk to Mom, Auntie Poong Geum.
Okay. Go on.
Cho Hee.
Don't you dare make her upset again...
by telling her to forgive the two of them.
If you do, I won't let it slide even though you're my sister.
Bo Ri, don't be disrespectful to your sister.
Whatever.
Goodness, you.
My gosh.
Mom, how are you feeling?
I know what you want to say.
I just don't want to believe it.
Sun Hae was such an important person to us.
She was like my own daughter just as you were.
When Kang Rim said that he was going to marry her,
I was incredibly happy.
I know.
That's why I couldn't tell you about her father.
I knew how shocked you'd be and how much it'd hurt you.
That was also what worried Sun Hae the most.
That's why she planned to bury the truth...
and leave quietly.
But...
when she was going to leave,
I told Kang Rim not to let her go.
Both Kang Rim and Sun Hae were a wreck.
Watching them struggle...
broke my heart.
I couldn't keep trying to break them up.
You know this well too.
That what happened in the past...
wasn't Sun Hae's fault.
You're right. If I...
only think of Sun Hae,
I wish I could forget about it...
and let them get married.
But... I can't...
Yes.
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
Oh, I see. The person left the company?
Then could you at least give me the phone number?
Yes. Great. Thank you.
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.
Maybe I shouldn't have come. I only interrupted you.
You didn't interrupt me.
I would've gone to see you if you hadn't come.
By the way, I couldn't reach you this morning.
I went to see your mother.
My mother?
Why did you go there alone?
You should've gone with me.
I went to see her because I was so worried about her.
But I couldn't bring myself to meet her.
I didn't realize that seeing me...
would stress her out more until I got there.
Sun Hae, you must be distressed.
Yes, I am.
But your mother must be the most distressed out of everyone,
not me.
Kang Rim.
Do you think we can be happy...
if we get married despite all this?
I know that it's hard for you.
But please hang in there just a little longer.
I know I should do that, but I can't help feeling this way.
You make it possible for me to endure everything.
I hope I do the same for you.
Right. I'll endure it.
I'll stay strong, Kang Rim.
Mother, please try the side dishes that Hyung Do made.
Okay.
I can tell how much effort he made.
Oh, my. Yours looks so good too.
Is it because Father made it with his love for you?
That's right. I made it with all my love for her.
Mr. Bang, please try this too.
- Thanks. - Oh, my. This is moray soup.
Did Cho Hee make it for you?
Yes, Cho Hee made this last night.
I see.
Why did she send it today?
My, it's so refreshing.
Cho Hee said...
that she had a long way to go before she could be as good as her mother.
But I think she's a great cook just like her mother.
This soup makes my stomach feel good.
Does it suit your palate?
Indeed. It tastes perfect. I love it.
I'm glad you like it.
It's just that Cho Hee is too busy to make dishes like these.
But she makes delicious food when she cooks.
Right, Nam Gu?
Right. Cho Hee sure is a good cook.
Is Cho Hee doing well? And Ri An too?
Of course, they're doing well.
Come on, Mom. Don't just ask how they're doing.
Come home to see us from time to time.
Home? Why do you call your house her home?
As if her parents were still alive and living there.
Our house in Myeongjin-dong is where her family lives...
although her parents are not there.
Absolutely. She can visit us just as married women visit their parents.
You're totally right about that.
I only told her that she could...
call Ri An over to our house whenever she wanted.
I didn't realize that she needed to...
spend some relaxing time with her family at their house.
Ms. Na, whenever you miss your family,
don't hesitate to visit them.
They might get the wrong idea if you put it like that.
What?
Exactly.
It sounded like Mother felt uncomfortable around us.
That's not the case, right, Mother?
Of course not.
Right. My mom would never get intimidated by anyone.
She would rather intimidate others.
True.
Hey, why would you say such a thing? You embarrassed her.
Why? What I just said was true.
We all know that she's not a pushover.
Seok Gu, just eat up.
Oh, okay. I'll shut it and just eat up.
Won Ju, please try this soup.
It's tasty. Eat it while it's hot. Here you go.
I don't like soup. But thanks for this.
Sun Hae asked me not to tell you this.
But I'll tell you anyway because I think you should know.
Mom, actually...
Sun Hae wanted to pay for her father's wrongdoings.
She didn't want you and Kang Rim to be hurt,
so she asked me to keep something from you two.
What is it?
Sun Hae agreed to sell her apartment,
and give the money to Han Seul A's mother.
What do you mean by that?
Why would Sun Hae give Ms. Ma...
the money she got from selling her apartment?
Because that woman Ms. Ma blackmailed Sun Hae.
She blackmailed Sun Hae?
She said that if Sun Hae didn't compensate her,
she would tell you and Kang Rim...
about what happened in the past.
Even so, how could she demand money from Sun Hae?
And Sun Hae promised to give her money?
Sun Hae said she wanted to take moral responsibility...
for her father's wrongdoings.
And she was afraid you and Kang Rim might be hurt because of it.
That was her biggest worry.
That's how Sun Hae really feels, Mom.
Ms. Oh.
(The All-Round Wife)
You should run your own business, not teach at a college.
Not everyone can run a business.
You shouldn't let your guard down.
Cho Hee's husband has already made his first move?
What do you want to say? Why did you gather us all up?
I've thought about it a lot for the past few days.
It's too much. I can't bear it.
We can't jump to a conclusion based on a few documents.
There are so many things that don't add up.
