(All characters, organizations, places, entities, and events...)
(in this drama are fictional.)
Darn it. Who is it?
Who is this?
Punk. You're so snippy.
It's your dad, punk.
You've grown a lot since.
You're getting better looking because you take after me.
Punk. Cat got your tongue?
It's been two years. Aren't you happy to see me?
We're here. This is it.
It's much better than when you lived with me.
It must be nice living in a place like this.
Here comes the man of the hour.
You haven't eaten yet, right? Come eat.
Come in.
Is someone here?
- Daddy! - Daddy!
Hello, I'm Han Dong Nam. I'm their dad.
Hello.
Vietnamese food just didn't agree with me.
Thank you for the feast.
My pleasure.
Sure. Food is the biggest problem when you're abroad.
How did you end up in Vietnam?
I owe quite a bit to loan sharks.
I thought I'd just be a burden on the kids if I stayed in Korea.
A friend had a business in Vietnam,
so I went over there.
I worked like crazy and paid off my debt...
and wanted to be a good dad that I couldn't be.
When did you return to Korea?
I came today.
Are there no phones in Vietnam?
You could've called from there.
How could I call you after what I did?
I was of no help and just a burden to you.
Didn't you know...
Mom passed away?
I found out when I saw you and Assemblyman Wi on the news.
Your kind mom...
died like that because she met someone like me.
I feel like it's all my fault.
I'm so sorry, kids.
Everyone makes mistakes.
You can do well from now on as you live with them.
Sure, I want to live with them too.
I am their dad after all.
As in...
you can't live with them right now?
That's right.
If I stay here, the loan sharks will keep coming.
Vietnam is a land of opportunities.
I should go back to make money after 3 or 4 days.
Daddy, do you have to go back to Vietnam?
Yes.
Daddy will make lots of money and come back, okay?
Then what about the kids?
I know I'm shameless, but please take good care of them.
I'll do whatever it takes to get back on my feet...
and come for them.
No! Don't go!
Live here with us!
I can't live here. This isn't our house.
Mister, let Daddy live here with us.
We can all live together.
Please.
Tae Poong. In exchange,
I'll stick right by your side while I'm in Korea.
Please, don't go.
Do you have a place to stay?
No, I couldn't really find a place, so...
Let me crash here with you for a few days.
That's okay, right?
(Episode 8)
(Episode 8: Qualifications of a Dad)
So he was in Vietnam.
He's a pathological liar.
I don't believe him.
It's suspicious how he came without any bags.
Maybe he was gambling somewhere again.
Are you okay?
With what?
It's shocking enough for me with his sudden arrival.
It must be worse for you.
What could I do? I have to be optimistic.
I don't like it,
but he's my siblings' dad.
Song Yi and Tae Poong are so happy.
I'm just glad he's healthy.
How are you so mature?
You surprise me every day.
She saw how hard it was for her mom,
so she should get an abortion.
How does she plan to raise the baby?
Why didn't you stop her more forcefully?
I tried.
I tried scaring her and pacifying her,
but she won't listen.
Gosh. Da Jung is so stubborn.
She's a stubborn mule like her mom.
Did Da Jung's mom ever say anything...
about me?
About you?
Yes. I'm Da Jung's biological dad after all,
so I thought perhaps she spoke about me.
I don't think so.
I didn't ask either,
but I don't think she said much.
You are Da Jung's biological dad, right?
Yes, of course. Who else would it be?
That's what the paternity test said.
Right? I asked a silly question.
I'm glad Da Jung found her dad.
Since you're here anyway,
please make yourself at home while you're here.
Thank you so much.
Da Jung is one thing, but the other kids are total strangers to you.
Thank you for taking such good care of them.
I don't know how I will ever repay you.
There's no need.
To be honest, I'm receiving much more from the kids...
than I'm giving them.
You really are magnanimous since you're a politician.
That's why I'm saying this, but...
Yes?
At least while I'm with the kids,
I'd like to be a good dad.
Sure, of course, you should.
Who knows when you'll see them again once you leave for Vietnam?
But the thing is,
I'm penniless, as you can see.
I'm really sorry,
but may I borrow some money?
Money?
Sorry,
but I don't have any cash on me.
Who carries cash nowadays?
You can give me a credit card.
A credit card?
I'll use it for a few days while I'm in Korea.
Can you do that for me?
Well,
I have only one credit card.
Then you should use it.
Sorry.
What about a cash advance?
A cash advance?
Well, then...
I have a debit card. I can give you that.
Just a minute.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Within the limit, please.
Of course. Thank you.
Stay here while your dad's here.
You're pregnant.
I hate people who burden others,
but that has been me recently.
I'm super hurt right now.
Am I a stranger?
Fine. That's all I am to you, is that it?
That's not it, but...
To be blunt, I'm not your real sister.
I know you're nice,
but...
you're just so nice to me.
Hey. You're determined to hurt my feelings,
aren't you?
Hey. You don't need to share blood to be sisters.
No, of course not. We don't,
but I wondered if there was another reason.
Another reason? Like what?
Do you...
like Mr. Wi?
What? I do not.
I have high standards. Why would I like him?
True. You're way too good for him.
That's right.
Eat up.
Da Jung.
How is it, living with Mr. Wi? Is he good to you?
Yes. He even took us to an amusement park.
He did?
Mr. Wi is good to us,
but I like you more, Daddy.
That's a given.
No matter how nice he is to you, he isn't Daddy.
But if you make lots of money...
and live with us, what happens to Da Jung?
Da Jung...
has her dad and her boyfriend.
She'll take care of herself.
Anyway, what's up with Tak?
He hasn't seen me in years, but he was so cold.
Tak stabbed his friend in the leg with his pencil.
Goodness. That boy and his temper.
But that's better than getting beat up.
I heard they're having a school violence committee meeting.
Whatever.
I was already annoyed, but that tool had to show up. I'm so fed up
"That tool"? Who?
Just someone. A total dirtbag.
She must be stressed out...
because she suddenly has two dads.
Two dads.
It must be hard enough for her as is.
Are you okay, Da Jung?
Yes, I feel better now.
Good.
Did you just say something to me?
What?
I was talking to myself.
It became a habit because I've been living alone for so long.
(Kang Joon Ho)
Hello, Mr. Kang.
What? You're out front?
Mr. Kang.
What brings you here?
I know it's rude of me to drop by like this,
but we need to celebrate.
Celebrate?
It's the first time in my life...
What?
The first time I won a doll from a claw machine.
So, what you want to celebrate is...
Yes, this.
Is it all right for me to take this meaningful memento?
Of course, it is.
If you insist on thanking me,
you can buy me canned coffee at a convenience store.
Sorry, but I have a guest over.
At this hour? Who...
Da Jung.
She's sleeping over tonight.
Dae Han's daughter is over.
Okay, then.
Thank you for the doll.
Where's Dae Han's house?
Dae Han's house?
Over there.
I see.
He lives super close to you.
So you gave him your debit card?
He's a total thief. All he needs is a knife.
It's for the best.
Why?
If he uses my card, I can locate him.
He doesn't seem to know I'm not Da Jung's real dad.
He's very suspicious.
It's a total lie that he was in Vietnam.
Where do you think he was all this time?
Who knows?
He may have caused trouble and spent time in the slammer.
No way. He used to be a detective.
He was formerly a corrupt detective to be exact.
It's so frustrating.
We can't make headway with the low-income apartments,
and Da Jung is going to school while she's pregnant,
Tak assaulted a kid at school,
and now, the kids' dad shows up.
You should seriously get an exorcism or something.
Danger is an opportunity.
The low-income apartments, Tak's assault,
and Soo Hyun's dad's restaurant.
Jae Yoon's mom is involved with them all.
So,
you'll kill three birds with one stone, is that it?
You're so quick.
Anyway, I'll take care of that.
You dig into Han Dong Nam.
It's the best-case scenario for me if the dad could take the kids.
Okay.
Seriously.
Are you up?
Yes.
You were sound asleep, so I didn't wake you.
Yes. I didn't sleep well last night.
You didn't have to make breakfast.
I may not look it, but I'm a very good cook.
What's wrong? Do you not like it?
No, no. It's delicious.
Daddy. That spoon and those chopsticks are Mr. Wi's.
Oh no. I'm sorry. I'll wash them right now.
It's okay.
There's no such thing as yours or mine. Just use them.
True. It's all the same thing as long as you can eat with them.
So, was it okay staying at Soo Hyun's?
I slept very well,
but I feel bad. I feel like I'm always burdening her.
That's true.
Even if you are close, you're not family.
You'd be a nuisance if you stayed there.
What nuisance?
You should help each other out. That's what society is built on.
That lady seemed nice.
Anyway, you couldn't rest well even on the weekends...
because you were busy watching the kids.
Well, that's true.
This weekend, I will take care of them as their father...
so you can take care of your business.
Sure.
Da Jung seems to have really bad morning sickness.
I know you are busy, but keep an eye on her.
I'm so glad you're with me.
So, what do you think of the children's father?
He doesn't seem so bad.
It's not just bad people that become bad fathers.
He asked me for my credit card...
so he can be a good dad.
What? Credit card?
What's his plan?
He asked me to take care of them until he can afford to do so.
What about Da Jung?
Who is she going to live with then?
I don't have the time to think about things that haven't happened yet.
- Are they fighting? - What's going on?
- Shouldn't we stop them? - What happened?
- Oh no! - They are fighting!
- You ruined my business! - Oh!
- Ma'am! - Come on.
- You need to calm down. - I won't let this go.
- Get out of my way! - Please calm down.
- My gosh! - Come here!
- Darn it! - Why are you doing this?
You need to calm down.
I see that you called for backup because you were outnumbered.
This is insane.
This is why you shouldn't deal with people with no class.
What did you say? Have you not had enough?
- What? - You wait there.
I am going to make sure you never speak again!
- Mom! - Mi Sook!
- No! - Calm down!
How ignorant!
I am the crazy one to think that I can settle with you.
You wait there.
I am not going to let this go easy.
- Come back here! - Get out of the way!
Calm down.
What just happened?
Jae Yoon's mom just came.
She said she would delete the post...
if we support the international school.
Now she is showing her true colors.
But you know your mom's temper.
She started yelling, "Nonsense!"
Then she pulled her by the hair.
Then what? Should I have just said "Sure, why not?"
Your father, on the other hand, was very tempted.
He said, "Really?"
If I had the chance, his mouth would've been the first thing to...
Really?
I didn't think of you as such a person.
Come on. It's our livelihoods on the line.
It was my instinct speaking.
Even so. If it's wrong, it's wrong.
Yes. Mom is right.
But seriously, that woman needs to be stopped.
How can she threaten people's livelihoods like that?
Since all of this started with me,
I will make sure to take care of it.
Do you have a solution?
That one-man broadcast didn't seem to have any effect at all.
Just give it some time.
I think it's getting there. Comments are positive too.
That wouldn't be enough.
Just today, she threatened...
to post what happened today on the website.
I found out that a group of mothers who left her website...
formed a different community online.
- It's called "Inju Good Mom." - "Inju Good Bomb?"
Mom, not bomb.
Anyway, I am going to meet some of them.
That sounds like a good idea.
I am sure they have some dirt on her.
- Right. - Oh.
The enemy of your enemy can be your friend.
Hold on, hold on.
Look at your shoes. How tacky.
All right. I will buy you both a new pair of shoes!
- Okay? - Okay!
Dad, can't you just live with us?
You can earn money here.
There is no job for me here.
I will try to visit you as often as I can.
How often? Once a week?
We'll see.
Hey.
Why do you look so down since yesterday?
You thought I would like it...
when you suddenly reappear after ignoring us for two years?
What?
Did I say something wrong?
Why you little...
How dare you look me straight in the eye?
You rude punk.
Are you trying to start something with me?
You think I am worthless, don't you?
Now that Wi Dae Han is your father,
you don't think of me as your father, do you?
If you can't take responsibility, you shouldn't have had us.
It's fine.
Everything will be fine.
No need to be scared.
I think you are more scared than I am.
No way. I am not scared at all.
Please take a look at the screen.
The fetal sac got a lot bigger than before.
You can see that the baby grew too.
- What do you think? - What?
How does it feel to see our baby for the first time?
It's unbelievable.
So, is that beating thing...
Yes, it's the baby's heart.
Now I will let you listen to the baby's heartbeat.
The baby is very healthy and strong.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
How's school?
Yes. It's perfect.
Really?
Aren't the other kids bullying you or anything like that?
They don't bully me, exactly.
Some just glare at me sometimes.
Who? Who dares to do such a thing?
No need to get so angry.
I understand them too.
They must be totally stressed out with the college entrance exam.
Having a pregnant classmate must be really annoying.
I would be if I were them.
Right. I have something for you and our baby.
- What is it? - Here.
You are always with the baby,
but I can't do that.
I wanted to be with both of you too.
(Voice Memo)
I like it.
Thank you.
Hello, Han Bit Mom.
Thank you for coming. I know you must be really busy.
No problem. I always thought that website had a lot of problems.
That is why I created a new website called "Inju Good Mom."
Could you please tell us in detail what problems there were?
Originally, mommy websites are supposed to be...
a place to share information on raising kids, the area we live in,
or to interact with those with similar interests.
True.
But the managers of "Love Inju"...
use the fact that they have a lot of members...
to gain a lot of unfair benefits.
Unfair benefits?
They secretly demand money from local small business owners...
saying that their stores will be promoted on the website.
I really appreciate it.
You made a wise choice.
You're getting great publicity for this price.
If some stores refuse, the manager posts negative things about them.
And she would delete any comments that refute her opinion.
She exploits local business owners? Their lives are hard enough already.
Do you have any proof?
The evidence that they gained some unfair benefits?
Evidence?
Yes. For example, screenshots of those falsely negative posts.
Or any recordings of phone calls you had with the managers, perhaps?
No, I don't.
We would need that to take any legal action.
Well...
Do you remember anything?
You are Tak's father, right?
Yes.
I am his father. Why do you ask?
My son goes to the same middle school as Tak.
And I am on the school violence committee.
Really?
I see. What a coincidence!
I know that my son made a mistake,
but he is a good boy.
I've been worried about Tak being summoned before the committee.
Please, I hope you think well of Tak.
He really is a good kid.
Please, I hope...
I thought you'd get me wrong like this,
so I'm trying to make things clear beforehand.
Sorry?
Jae Yoon's mom might be the assailant...
regarding the mommy website issue,
but she's on the victim's side in Tak's school violence incident.
Both the school and the parents...
are taking the case very seriously.
Of course, I am too.
We're going to listen to both the victim and the assailant...
and make an objective judgment...
to decide what disciplinary action to take,
so you might want to brace yourself.
It will be all right.
Jae Yoon was the one who harassed him first.
Why is everything so complicated?
Should I really perform exorcism like Bong Joo said?
Do you even have the money for that?
You asked for your pay in advance because you were broke.
I didn't actually mean it.
I'm low on money,
but the kids' father is going crazy with my debit card.
You'll have to deal with it. You're the National Dad.
Soo Hyun.
What?
Will you lend me money?
Just a million dollars.
Nice shot, sir.
Nice shot.
You're up, Joon Ho.
I was so shocked after watching the show.
Why?
Wi Dae Han.
How could he say that they are keeping the baby?
And on national TV too.
I know. As if it's anything to brag about.
He's only putting on a show to get the attention.
Then he succeeded.
His name was the top trending keyword all day.
You better try harder.
Your friend is going to be a grandfather soon.
Is that even funny?
Then should I cry?
Oh, nice shot.
- Nice shot. - Nice shot.
Has it ever crossed your mind...
that Joon Ho might not win the general election...
if Wi Dae Han gains more popularity?
I thought you weren't running?
That's my plan,
but you know how stubborn Father is.
Why do you keep dragging Joon Ho into politics?
Politicians only get criticized.
Shouldn't he try to do what I could never achieve?
What couldn't you achieve?
I failed to do so,
but Joon Ho should step foot in it.
The Blue House.
By the Blue House, do you mean president?
That's a whole different story.
If Joon Ho becomes the president,
He's going to be the most handsome head of state in the whole world.
Does that mean I'll be the First Lady?
Give it a rest, will you?
Give what a rest? We were only saying the truth.
By the way, who is it?
What do you mean?
You said you liked another woman...
instead of lovely Hye Jin here.
Who in the world is it?
Let's stop playing golf together, the four of us.
The woman you like,
it's Soo Hyun, isn't it?
I asked Soo Hyun.
I told her I like you and asked if she was interested.
I guess I made a mistake.
What do you mean?
I only stayed friendly towards you because Mother likes you.
I guess I only gave you the wrong impression.
No, you didn't.
I know our feelings aren't mutual. I do, but...
I'm worried about you.
And Soo Hyun too.
What does that mean?
You're too old for casual dates.
Your parents will be expecting you to get married.
But...
will they accept Soo Hyun as your spouse?
I'm going to be the only one who has to struggle...
to fit my parents' standards.
I'm not going to do the same when finding my spouse.
What? We aren't the only victims?
I knew it.
I could tell that...
she's the kind of woman who takes advantage all the time.
Since we know the truth,
can't we just take it legally?
The problem is, we don't have the proof.
We could be counter accused of making false accusations.
What kind of law is that?
But now that we know corruption is going on,
we only need to secure the proof.
I guess it's finally my turn to act.
You, Dad?
What will you do?
How can you be that slow when you're a writer?
What do you think?
I'll approach her by pretending to apologize...
and make her admit all the things she's done.
Do you mean you're going to record her in secret?
That's it.
Just like they do in the movies.
That's not a bad plan,
but do you think you can manage it?
You're quite the coward.
Soo Hyun. Don't you worry.
I may be frying chicken now,
but I used to...
dream of being a secret agent like James Bond.
Bond, my foot.
Goodness.
My time has finally come.
I will sacrifice myself to save Inju City.
I can do it. I can.
I knew you'd finally give in.
Why did you have to make it so hard?
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
My wife regrets it very much, as well.
I didn't know how influential you were...
and made a huge mistake.
I'm so sorry.
Did you just realize that?
I heard that...
you also put up posts to slander...
many other restaurants. Am I right?
What are you talking about?
I'm not trying to complain.
I was just trying to say that you have that much power.
Do you know how many members our website has?
Don't mess around with me.
I know. I should've known better.
So...
is it true that you put up other posts as well?
I heard you even demanded money.
Where did you hear such nonsense?
I can't believe it.
Wait!
You can't just leave.
I was just curious.
So please just say yes or no. Preferably in a clear voice.
What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to get a recording?
What do you mean, "a recording"?
I was only curious...
My hearing is bad these days.
That's why I want you to answer...
yes or no with a clear voice.
Is it yes? "Yes," isn't it?
No, it's not. Let go of me.
I...
Why is this on?
Is it broken? It won't even turn off.
You're unbelievable, to the very end.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
It's all right, sir.
I didn't expect much, to be honest.
Yes, you should just focus on frying chicken.
I'm embarrassed.
I'm kidding.
It's really fine. Don't be disappointed.
We have a plan B, in case this didn't work out.
Plan B? What is it?
There must be proof online...
on how she took advantage of people.
We are going to find that.
Who? How?
Sorry to ask you this on your day off.
Come on, Soo Hyun. This is a piece of cake.
- On a private matter too. - A private matter?
This is about punishing the unjust. It's a public matter.
I asked some people who are as good as NIS agents to look into it.
And I talked about your restaurant to a Podcast that I did.
Pod? What is that?
It's like a one-man broadcast, but more like a radio show.
I asked them to promote you. So things will get better soon.
Thank you.
Isn't that the lawyer from last time?
Come on, pick it up.
(Yellow Chicken)
I knew this would happen.
Move over.
Why did you have to get involved?
I was just...
trying to avenge my precious wife.
Seriously.
You are such a smooth talker.
Why are you alone? Where is Soo Hyun?
Right. I forgot.
On our way back...
- Yes. - Remember that lawyer guy?
He called her and asked her out to dinner.
You know what I think?
I think that lawyer is totally into Soo Hyun.
Really?
But she has to like him too.
It's not like that. I think she does like him.
She said she will buy dinner.
Why do you look so gloomy?
Huh?
Wait. Are you jealous?
Of course not! No way.
I am worried about your restaurant.
I don't think of Soo Hyun as more than a friend or a sister.
No way.
Of course, she is.
You already have four children and soon a grandchild.
You should feel ashamed of yourself if you were interested in her.
He's right. I have no time for this.
(Ko Bong Joo)
Yes, Bong Joo.
I did some digging on the children's father.
Food tastes the best when someone else is buying.
I asked you to have dinner because I have something to say.
What is it?
I...
don't like people who lead others on,
but I found myself doing something similar.
Remember what I said after you confessed your feelings?
I said I am not sure how I feel.
You did.
I think I know now.
Now that I know you,
I see that you're a much better person than I thought.
That's why I couldn't let you go.
Then you shouldn't.
I think you need to do things...
when you really want to.
But right now, what I really want to do...
is not dating or to be in love.
Then what is it?
I want to help Da Jung.
I want to help her be well...
so she can have a healthy baby.
Frankly,
I don't understand.
She isn't your real sister.
I...
had a sister who was three years younger than me.
Had?
Yes.
When she was Da Jung's age, she passed away in an accident.
I never imagined that...
you would have such a story.
I was too rash. I am so sorry.
No, it's okay.
It's just...
I keep thinking about my sister whenever I see Da Jung.
That's why...
I want to treat Da Jung well...
since I couldn't do so for my sister.
I think I can understand.
But she is Dae Han's daughter.
Being deeply involved in another person's life,
contrary to your intention,
may end badly, right?
I know you are right.
But it's just hard to stand by.
Maybe I like to cross the line.
When you say it's hard...
is it just because of Da Jung?
What do you mean?
I'm curious.
Your feelings towards Dae Han.
Did you have a good time with the children today?
Of course.
They were really happy.
It would not have been possible without you. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Do you really have to go to Vietnam? The kids love you so much.
Of course, I want to be with them.
But...
money is always the problem, right?
True.
Money is always the problem.
I just thought...
you don't need to go all the way to Vietnam to earn money.
You have never been there.
What are you talking about?
I checked your entry and departure record.
You've never been to Vietnam.
You really are a former assemblyman. How resourceful of you.
I am not sure what you have been up to these past few years,
but you should stay with them.
They still need a parent's care.
I will help as much as I can.
I...
think...
I killed their mother.
If she hadn't met me,
she wouldn't have died like that.
Thank you for your offer,
but being next to a broken man...
will break the children too.
Did you find anything on the mommy website?
I didn't.
But Ms. Ahn did.
What is it?
This is another website for part-time workers.
Look at these comments.
The restaurant that I worked for...
was also taken advantage of by that website called "Love Inju."
I secretly took a video of her demanding money.
But the owner thought it's easier to just give her the money!
I was so flustered!
I knew it, Ms. Ahn! You did it!
I found out her number and called her.
She still has the video.
She does?
Ms. Ahn, you are the best!
This feels like entering a courtroom.
Let's just get it over with.
I don't mind if I get expelled from school.
Really? Why?
So you can live off of me for the rest of your life?
Do you love me?
That's a horrible thing to say.
Let's just go in.
You remember what I said, right?
When I give you the signal, just beg, got it?
- "Please forgive..." - Can you walk?
How annoying.
Careful. That's it.
- Let me go! - Come on.
Just lean on me.
It was clearly wrong of him to use violence.
We are deeply sorry...
for the victim and his parents.
However, I hope you understand that it was accidental...
and that it was an act of resistance towards another act of violence.
What do you mean by "resistance towards violence"?
I only found out after the fact,
but Jae Yoon had been calling my son Messed Up Family...
and teased another classmate who receives a basic living pension...
by calling him BLP.
It was an accident that happened...
when he couldn't endure the continuous harassment anymore.
But still,
inflicting an injury is obviously the wrong behavior.
Taking revenge on verbal violence by using physical violence...
is not something that can be justified.
Yes, that is true.
My son and I both greatly regret it.
I'm sorry.
I won't ever use violence again.
What do you think, sir?
According to Luke 17:3, it says,
“If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them,"
"and if they repent, forgive them."
According to Han Bit Mom's posts,
she seems to be very religious.
My son is repenting his sins. So, please...
I beg of you to give him just one more chance.
(Look at her pretending to study. Must be good for her baby.)
So annoying.
We can't even talk during break time because of her.
He said it's not good for the baby.
Then she should just stay at home.
Let her be. She just wants attention.
It must run in her family. Like father, like daughter.
I bet the baby's needy as well.
(She's so shameless.)
Hey.
Put your phones on silent mode.
We need to be considerate towards the pregnant woman.
Dae Han, what happened with the school violence committee?
I don't know.
It will work out. Don't worry.
The results will probably be out by tomorrow.
Did your assistants find anything?
Take a look at this.
I really appreciate it.
What do you think?
- This is great! - Right?
I told you my people are as good as the NIS.
I can't believe that girl.
(Attorney Kang Joon Ho)
(Kim Hye Jin)
I happened to see them, and I thought they looked intimate.
I'm curious.
Your feelings towards Dae Han.
I don't know if this is...
friendship or sympathy,
but it's true that...
I do have feelings for him.
Yes?
What brings you here?
I was passing by, and I wanted to discuss something with you.
Are you sure you're not running in the general election?
I told you. I have no intentions.
Regardless of your choice,
I'll be declaring that I'm not running this year.
But I'll be running as a party leader instead.
But that doesn't mean you can't run in the general election.
I've had my time as a local lawmaker,
so I'll have to devote myself to the party.
What do you think will make a better future for our party?
Replacing the people would be the first step.
Exactly.
So I'm going to be setting the example.
The old folks have to move aside...
for the young and ambitious people to join us.
I'm not telling you to run in the general election...
just because I'm your father.
I'm asking you to help...
so we can save the party...
and rebuild our forces.
How will you even pay your rent like this?
You didn't call me in with another fake apology...
so you can record me again, did you?
Why would we trouble each other?
How are you planning on apologizing?
Are you going to get down on your knees and beg?
I think doing that once was enough.
Then why did you call me? I'm a busy person.
Even if you're busy, I thought you should see this.
What is it now? You're so annoying.
I really appreciate it.
You made a wise choice.
You're getting great publicity for this price.
What... What's wrong with this?
So I got a little something in return for the publicity.
Is that so?
I wonder if the viewers will think the same.
"Viewers"?
Didn't you know she worked at a broadcasting station?
She's the writer for a popular current events show.
Wait. Why did you leave out that I'm the main writer?
Sorry. And you're close friends with Newscaster Kim Hye Jin,
who used to be on the 8 o'clock news, right?
Of course. She's the host of our show right now.
- Right. - If I show her this,
she'll be thrilled about it.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me just this once.
I think you should be...
apologizing to my mom and dad instead.
"Mom and dad"?
I'm really sorry.
Why are you holding my man's hands?
What I did to you two was terrible.
Gosh!
I'm truly sorry.
I'll even get down on my knees if you want me to.
You don't need to go that far.
Explain what happened here on that mommy website...
and find someone else who will run it fairly. Okay?
Yes, sir. I'll do that. Of course, I should.
I'll put up a post as soon as I get home.
- Is it this place? - Yes, it is.
Why, welcome.
Welcome.
Oh my gosh. See? I told you.
It's true! You're them, aren't you?
What do you mean?
Shut up and fry
Here.
(That's hilarious! He said, shut up and fry.)
Today, I will explain to you in detail...
about the special sauce we use at our restaurant...
that sets us apart from the others.
What are you talking about?
You're going to tell them the secret sauce?
You said you were going to tell them!
- No, I didn't! - You did say that!
I meant I will tell you.
If we tell our viewers, they will all make it at home.
- Whatever. - Forget it!
Hey everyone, I'm at the restaurant right now.
The owner's head is huge.
What? I'm so jealous. I wanted to check it out too.
Me too. I hear their chicken is awesome.
Soo Hyun. Bring that out.
Where are you? My shoes are on.
Do a chicken eating show too.
They've got great chemistry.
Here's your chicken.
- Thank you. - We're trying to do our best,
but we make mistakes too.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
After frying the chicken nicely, we remove the oil.
We remove it. Okay.
If you're done talking, I'll go now.
You're so impatient. I'm not done yet.
What other favor do you want to ask of me?
Don't be scared. It's nothing much.
Step down as the head of the group...
pushing for the international high school.
What? That's too much.
We need to consider what the members want...
I guess you don't want to let go.
Sure, the members.
What was the production director's number again?
Okay, I'll do it. I'll step down.
You're so quick.
Just don't harass people anymore, and you'll be all good.
The leader of the group pushing for the international school called.
She says she needs to step down for health reasons.
I guess Dae Han worked his magic again.
She won't say,
but I think he has something on her.
Not bad.
It's time to put an end to the low-income apartment matter.
Get what we discussed before ready.
Yes, sir.
- Daddy! - Daddy!
Daddy didn't go to Vietnam.
He would've said so if he were going.
He isn't here at the house...
and we can't reach him.
That's because he doesn't have a cell phone.
He wouldn't leave without saying bye to you.
He did that last time. I want to go to Vietnam too.
I want to go with Daddy.
Keep it down!
Tak, why are you yelling at them?
That jerk is no dad.
Having a kid doesn't make you a dad.
That jerk isn't our dad, so stop crying!
- Tak! Stop it! - Darn it!
You need to get your life back on track.
Think of the kids. Stop gambling.
Life is a gamble.
If I stop gambling, I should just die.
What happened when you went to Wi Dae Han?
What is there to tell?
I'm still living there.
From what I see on the news,
Wi Dae Han really shaped up.
Looking at the stuff he's doing now, I think...
that mourning march was sincere.
Give me a break.
Do you think otherwise?
I am grateful...
because he's a great card for me.
What do you mean?
I had two pairs, aces high,
and it turns out Wi Dae Han is the ace of spades.
Thanks to him, my two pairs became a full house.
Are the kids asleep?
Yes. I finally got them to sleep.
Couldn't he at least call?
I knew it. That's how he was before too.
I know...
I'm being utterly shameless for doing this,
but let me ask for one more favor.
A favor?
Seeing Tae Poong and Song Yi fall asleep while crying...
really broke my heart.
It's too hard for them every time Dad pops in and disappears...
without a word like that.
You said before, right?
That you don't think you can act like a real dad.
But in exchange, you will be our guardian.
Yes, I did.
Since you're doing it anyway,
can't you be our dad, not just our guardian?
You don't have to be my dad, but at least for them.
They're still young.
Please.
Wi Dae Han speaking.
You have such a pompous voice.
It's not like you're so great.
Mr. Han?
You sound like you've had a lot to drink. Where are you?
Drink.
The great Wi Dae Han came to a place like this.
Don't just stand there.
Come. Sit.
Girls, do you know who he is?
He's a great man.
He looks familiar.
Who is he?
You're Wi Dae Han, right? National Dad.
- That's right. - Correct.
You've got a good eye. You're nothing like how you look.
Let's talk alone.
Why?
Is it something they can't hear?
My apologies, but please excuse us.
Let's hear it. What is it?
You came back after abandoning your kids for two years,
and you pull this garbage?
- Garbage? - Yes, garbage.
Do you know how much Tae Poong and Song Yi cried,
thinking their dad left them again without a word?
What are you trying to do?
And what are you doing?
I'm doing what you should be doing!
So why are you doing that?
You're not related to Da Jung at all!
(The Great Show)
How could he demand money?
If he talks, my relationship with the kids is over.
Who will watch them then?
This is not the time to worry about the kids.
They say the man who attacked Assemblyman Kang is your supporter.
Let go, you jerk. I'm not a good person either,
but I think I'm better than you.
Please say a word!
Do you plan to run in this district?
I look forward to a clean election.
I wish the kids could keep living with you.
I'll be the kids' dad in your place.
