(Episode 22)
What's the matter?
Mr. Jang.
Yes.
Please be my Mr. 10,000 Dollars.
- What did you say? - I said, be my Mr. 10,000 Dollars.
Please. I beg you.
Be your Mr. 10,000 Dollars? What's this about, all of a sudden?
Can you explain what this is about?
You haven't checked the intranet forum, right?
They've posted an announcement.
The intern mission will be a team competition.
Oh, that.
They're looking for ideas for a new PB beverage product.
The team that wins first place will get a prize.
Do you know what it is?
It's 10,000 dollars.
The team that wins first place...
will get 10,000 dollars.
The winner gets 10,000 dollars!
Oh, I see. I wondered what it was about.
"Oh, I see?"
Aren't you surprised?
The prize money is 10,000 dollars.
There was something else. What was it? Oh, right.
You can be reassigned to a team that you want to join.
What did you say?
You can be reassigned to a different team.
Didn't you want to join the food product development team?
To tell you the truth, I don't care which team I join...
as long as I get a permanent position.
But I really want to win the 10,000 dollars this time.
So be my Mr. 10,000 Dollars. Please?
Let's join forces...
and make sure to win first place.
Well, I'll think about it.
What? You'll think about it? What's there to think about?
You kept saying that you wanted to help me.
Oh, no. Lunch hour is over already.
We should head down.
Mr. Jang, you said you'd repay me for everything.
Then be my Mr. 5,000 Dollars at least. Please?
We'll aim to win first place, okay?
Thank you, Ms. Kim.
You even bought us lunch. Thank you, Ms. Kim.
I wanted to treat you today.
Anyway, where are the interns?
I guess they're on the rooftop again.
Again?
Did you see them, Ms. Im?
No, it's just what my gut tells me.
It's cold up there.
There you are. Have some coffee.
Oh.
Thank you.
Were you on the rooftop?
Yes, we had a quick chat.
Your gut instinct was on point, Ms. Im.
Thank you for this, Ms. Kim.
No problem. If you ever need to chat about something,
you can talk in the kitchen. It's chilly outside.
Okay, will do.
Oh, right. Have you seen the announcement yet?
I heard about it.
Then check the details first, Kyung Jun.
This is a team competition, so prepare thoroughly.
One more thing. If you don't win first place,
you might get transferred to a different team.
Make sure you win...
so that both of you can stay on the team.
You heard that, right?
Then get everything ready for the tasting event this afternoon.
- Yes, Ms. Kim. - Yes, Ms. Kim.
(Vice President Cha Yoon Hee)
All the interns have been notified of the first mission, right?
Yes, we posted the announcement on the intranet forum earlier today.
I see. Can we sit down for a quick chat? Make yourself at home.
Oh.
Sure.
Ms. Kim, do you go on dates with Kyung Jun from time to time?
Oh, no. We've both been busy.
We had lunch together once.
Really? Where?
The cafeteria.
Oh, no.
Well...
Chairman Jang...
wants to have a great-grandchild.
Pardon me?
You met him when you visited us, so you must know what he's like.
My father-in-law must see that it's done once he says something.
So as Kyung Jun's mother, I can't sit back and do nothing.
What do you say? How about I help you, Hae Mi?
Oh, well... I mean...
Don't be flustered.
You can be honest with me.
If you could help me,
I'd really appreciate that, ma'am.
All right.
Oh, the document on my desk needs to be approved.
Could you drop it off at the president's office?
Sure thing, ma'am.
Slightly to the left...
Yes, hello?
Hello? Is this Mr. Jang, the president of TS Retail?
This is Sato Ichiro of Lason. You remember me, right?
I'm in Seoul at the moment on a business trip.
I remember you saying...
we should play golf together the last time I saw you.
I figured this would be the perfect opportunity.
If you're free tomorrow, how about a round?
What's he saying?
Wait a minute, please.
Goodness, this is...
Ms. Kim, come sit here.
Yes, sir.
Ms. Kim, can you speak Japanese?
Pardon me? Oh, yes. A little.
Great. Then can you take this call for me?
It's a call from the CEO of a Japanese distribution company.
Oh, got it.
Hello, sir.
This is Kim Hae Mi,
TS Retail's food product development manager.
He doesn't speak Japanese,
so I'll relay your message to him in Korean.
Right.
Understood.
Just a moment, please.
He's asking if you'd be up for a round of golf tomorrow.
Okay. Tell him I'll check my schedule and give him a call.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
He'll call you back as soon as he confirms his schedule.
Yes.
All right, then. Have a good day.
Great.
My gosh.
I thought you were only good at English, Ms. Kim.
When did you learn Japanese?
Oh, I learned it in high school...
as my second language.
I see.
In any case, thank you.
I had saved his number,
but I didn't know he'd call me up out of the blue like this.
Sir, I'm curious about something.
May I ask you about it?
Sure, ask away.
I know that you like golf,
so why...
Why didn't I schedule it right away?
- Yes. - Ms. Kim.
In the world of business,
a power struggle begins the moment you decide the date and time...
to meet up.
At the moment, I have no reason to meet him right away.
So why say yes right away when he wants to see me?
No way. It's like a tug of war.
Like playing hard to get, as young people these days say.
I see.
Sir, when it gets scheduled,
may I be your interpreter?
You want to be my interpreter? I'd love that.
Please feel free to call me anytime.
All right.
- Take it easy. You can go. - Oh, yes.
Oh, Director Jang!
It looks like physical labor is your specialty.
Yes. Did you have lunch?
Yes, we talked business over lunch.
You earned money while having lunch.
That's a very positive way of looking at it.
Oh, I just remembered something.
What?
It was about your first love, wasn't it?
Sorry?
You said you had a lunchbox with someone.
No, don't get the wrong idea.
You've been busted.
I have to go.
Ms. Lee.
Where should I put this?
What is it? Do you want a piggyback?
Grandma, let's go shopping for clothes.
Clothes? For what?
Mom's busy at work,
and she should get some rest on the weekend.
Grandma, go shopping with me and buy me a dress.
Buy me a dress.
My sweet pumpkin, you want a new dress?
Yes!
You see, had you...
at least said,
"I know, Yeong I. You must be so hurt and upset."
Had you said something heartfelt like that,
I wouldn't feel like I'm rotting inside.
Okay, let's go!
I'll buy you a new dress. Let's go.
My goodness.
Mi Ri Nae, does it have to be this dress?
I see many other nice dresses. Come on.
No, I always wanted this dress.
Mom said she'd buy me this dress.
Is there any way we can find one?
This one is too big for her.
Her size is sold out at every location, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Please call me if someone returns it.
I'll leave my number.
Sure, no problem.
I really want this dress, Grandma.
You heard her say that your size is sold out.
Why this dress? Why does she like this so much?
Gosh, stop. Stop crying.
Stop crying, okay?
Goodness. What happened?
- My gosh. - Sweetheart, why are you crying?
- Great-grandma... - Yes, what happened?
She said there was a dress she wanted,
- so we went there to buy it. - Okay.
But we couldn't find the right size for her.
Her size is sold out everywhere.
Oh, no.
That's why you're so upset, Mi Ri Nae.
Why didn't you buy her something else?
She said it had to be that dress.
My goodness. She's so stubborn, just like Yeong I.
Gosh, she's a handful.
Don't cry, sweetie.
- Why are you here? Go study! - What?
I dropped by for some food.
Sweetheart, what can I cook for you?
- Just say what you want. Come on. - Yes, let's go inside.
- Gosh, Mi Ri Nae. - Stop crying.
Mom, didn't Yeong I say anything?
Didn't she lash out at you?
I went to her office and saw her.
And?
I don't want to talk about it.
It's all your fault, you punk.
Mom, wait.
Go study!
The dress that Mi Ri Nae wants.
What's the name of the brand? What does it look like?
What? Oh, I took a picture of it earlier.
Mom, won't the chairman fire you...
for being such a slacker?
The chairman said I didn't need to come to work...
until I sorted out your mess.
Your employer is unbelievably flexible.
Hey, it's only been a little while since you opened your clinic.
Do you want to shut it down?
Don't worry about my clinic.
Worry about your future first.
This is the lawyer the chairman recommended.
This lawyer is an expert when it comes to stuff like what you did.
Go consult this lawyer.
But in my opinion,
you should sincerely apologize to your superior in person first.
Why are you wasting time like this?
Mother, she hasn't even showered for days.
I've been brushing my teeth though.
Gosh, what on earth did you do...
that their nose broke?
- It's because of a nose job. - What?
Then it's understandable, Mother.
Even so!
Call them. At once.
Okay, I heard you.
I have something to tell you.
- What now? - What now?
Gosh! It's about Yeong I, not me.
Yeong I? What about her?
Lee Yeong I...
is penniless now.
(Eun Ho Pediatric Clinic)
You're back, Eun Ho... I mean, Dr. Kang.
Yes.
Isn't the housekeeper coming today?
It's her father's 80th birthday today.
Where are you going, honey?
We have to fix the boiler for the study.
I'm heading out to get a quote.
Have you taken some medicine?
Don't just try to sleep it off. You should see a doctor.
You see, this is your problem.
You think that being mentally strong is the answer to everything.
Go see a doctor, okay?
Mi Ri Nae, don't your eyes sting?
They must. Stay away.
Is it too bland?
Chang Yi likes it bland, Mother.
- That's true. - Yes.
- What are you doing? - I'm making radish kimchi.
We should've given some to Hwa Kyung when she stopped by.
We only had a little bit left,
so I told Chang Il to make some.
I won't tell you to go drop it off. I'll go.
You'll go there yourself?
My eldest daughter-in-law...
had a long day. You had to go to Yeong I's office...
and even go shopping with Mi Ri Nae.
Honey, does it hurt? Move over. I'll mix it for you.
Okay.
Come on. This is nothing. My goodness.
Mother, this isn't nothing! Honey, move.
My gosh. Be gentle.
Goodness. You really should see a doctor.
Let's see.
(Ms. An)
Yes, sir.
So what happened?
This impatient man is waiting with bated breath here.
I gave the business card to my daughter earlier.
But I told her to contact her superior first.
She hasn't even done that yet?
No.
Is she really your daughter?
Did you enjoy your lunch, sir?
Yes.
She stood right next to me and watched me eat,
so I ate everything on my plate.
She told me that you asked her to make sure I'd eat well.
Yes, I did.
If you let things like this drag on, they'll only get more complicated.
I put you in touch with that lawyer, so get it sorted out quickly.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Just come in. Is she teasing me or what?
Your mother-in-law's arms will fall out at this rate. Oh, boy.
Mother?
Chang Yi.
Hey, what is this?
You must be exhausted. Why didn't you call first?
I made a fresh batch of radish kimchi, your favorite.
Are you feeling sick?
- No. - Oh, boy.
I just feel a little achy.
I'm taking the day off.
Let me take that and take a seat.
Okay.
Let me see.
Come here.
Gosh, son. You're clearly not well.
Go see a doctor and get a shot or something.
This is nothing. I'm totally fine.
Goodness.
What is it? What's wrong with your neck?
I must've pulled a muscle.
Oh, dear. You're such a handful.
Anyway,
did Hwa Kyung go out, knowing that you're not feeling well?
She stepped out for a moment.
Way to go.
I told you to just leave it, Mother.
Sit down and relax.
Oh, boy.
It's the first time this has happened.
You fools.
Are you in the kitchen?
How was it to sleep on the couch?
I bet you're getting cramps and aches all over. Right?
Mother, let me explain.
Hwa Kyung.
Did you tell my son to sleep on the couch?
Mother, when did you get here?
I was wondering why Chang Yi wasn't feeling well.
Tell me why you made your husband sleep in the living room.
Answer me!
Mother, please calm down.
This is between me and Hwa Kyung.
We got into a small argument,
so I slept in the living room of my own accord.
That's all.
He's right, Mother. That's all.
How dare you.
Chang Yi isn't like any other husband.
You see, all this time...
I treated you like a guest...
and expected nothing from you.
But I must say, this is out of line.
Your husband isn't feeling well.
Yes, I understand you had to go out if something urgent came up.
Even so, you didn't have time to make some porridge for him?
Did you have to make your sick husband...
cook instant noodles for himself with his shaky hands?
I got home less than an hour ago, Mother.
I'm telling you the truth.
I'm leaving.
- Mother, I'll take you home. - No, don't come out.
Bye, Mother.
- Gosh. - Mother.
Mother!
Mother.
Why did you come out?
Go back inside and take some medicine.
I'm fine.
Everyone lives like this.
You're not like everyone else.
Tell her to let the kimchi age for about 3 to 4 days.
I'm off.
I don't want that.
I earn money too. I run my own business.
I know, but I want to do this for you...
because I care for you, Mother.
Take a taxi home. You have to, okay?
Chang Yi.
Yes, Mother.
Dr. Kim.
- Yes. - Don't get sick, okay?
Okay. Salute.
Did you have to have instant noodles right before she came?
What, then? I was hungry.
I can't stand you. And mother too.
Why did she have to show up unannounced?
Why is she talking like I'm your maid or something?
Is this the Joseon period?
You know that she rarely visits us.
This was her first visit this year.
Chang Il and Eun Sook have been living with my mom for decades.
But you...
Forget it. Let's drop this.
Living with her?
They're mooching off of her because they're incompetent.
Hey, must you really...
What?
Let me warn you.
I might live with my mom.
What? What did you just say?
Because I'm competent,
I might live with my mom to take care of her.
Who says you can live with Mother? Have you gone mad?
Do I have to go mad to live with my own mother?
Take back what you said. Right now!
You've been warned.
Gosh.
You're not feeling well. Where are you going?
Oh, boy.
Does it hurt? Are you okay?
Yes.
My goodness. Hold on.
- Gosh, it hurts. - Look at this. Oh, dear.
Aside from you, who would put pain-relief patches...
all over the shoulder to make radish kimchi for their brother?
I'm sure others would do it too.
I doubt that.
- Who's at the restaurant? - My gosh.
Oh, Mother. You're back.
Do Sik is there with Mi Ri Nae.
Do Sik? What can he even do?
I'm heading out now, Mother.
- Be careful, okay? - All right, I heard you.
Mother, would you like a glass of water?
Sure.
Did Hwa Kyung call a taxi for you?
How much did she give you as your allowance?
I'm sorry, Mother.
My eldest daughter-in-law, you're always so curious...
and full of questions.
Well, you didn't visit them for so long.
Hwa Kyung decorated her place so nicely, didn't she?
Here.
What's this money for? Are you giving me this?
Yes.
Why?
Buy yourself something nice to eat.
Oh, I'll take care of the garbage. Just collect the questionnaires.
Why? Let's do it together.
No. Mr. Jang, you should...
just be my Mr. 10,000 Dollars.
Oh, that.
What do you say? You don't feel confident?
Why? You got the internship with the highest score.
The truth is, it's not easy to win first place in an idea contest.
Especially when it's a team competition.
Why? Because I'm the lowest-ranked contestant?
No, it's not that.
Just as the name suggests... "Idea."
You must be very creative.
It may not be easy,
but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
Let's give it a shot, okay?
Ms. Lee, why do you suddenly need 10,000 dollars?
Didn't you brag to me about being rich?
(TS Retail leads with transparency.)
When did I do that?
You don't remember? You said that yourself...
when settling up at the tent bar.
You were like, "I got this."
Oh, right.
I blew all my money. That's why I'm being like this.
What? How?
Don't ask.
I wouldn't be upset if I spent even a dollar myself.
Ms. Lee, did you invest in stocks?
You mean, like "inventory?" That's the only "stock" I know of.
Then did you invest in coins?
You mean, like coin-operated karaoke machines?
I told you to stop asking about it.
Okay, fine.
Isn't the 10,000-dollar prize tempting for you?
Don't you want the money?
Not really.
My gosh, I guess you're not greedy for money.
You may get transferred to a different team if we don't win.
What about that?
That I don't like.
Then we must win!
I know. I told you that I'd think about it.
I may not be able to keep my word. So if I go ahead and promise you...
I shouldn't do that, you know.
Promise me first. Then do your best to keep your promise.
Work crazy hard.
You two, are you done tidying up the meeting room?
- Yes, Ms. Kim. - What about the questionnaires?
Oh, that. We collected them and left them in the meeting room.
They're very important. You can't leave them there.
We were going to pick them up after taking out the garbage.
Yeong I, you take out the garbage.
Kyung Jun, go pick up the questionnaires.
Organize the data into a chart and submit it to me, please.
Here, I'll take that.
Yeong I.
(The Love in Your Eyes)
Yeong I. Why are you acting like you're totally fine?
The 30,000 dollars. I know you're not okay.
You see, everything eventually gets sorted out.
How could you say such a thing after making Yeong I cry?
Eun Sook! Your brother-in-law is here.
Chang Yi, please watch your mouth.
Don't you worry, Yeong I! I took care of everything for you!
