Is it really okay to come unannounced?
Goodness. Both my parents run a business,
so they don't mind about it.
Let's have delicious fried chicken and beer...
and relax.
I don't think I can do that in front of your parents.
Come on. Both my parents are so fun,
so they'll be relaxed first if we have beer together.
It'll be more awkward to sit up straight...
and be frozen in front of them.
Is that so?
Then should I use this chance to get close to them?
Yes. Use this chance to get on their good side.
Okay.
(Haha Chicken)
It's closed?
(Haha Chicken)
Wait. It's supposed to be open today.
Why is it closed already?
Hey, Eun Sung.
The fryer broke down,
so we closed the store to fix it.
We happened to be fixing the water leak too.
Yes. All right.
Eun Sung is at the store?
Yes, he came by to have fried chicken after a while.
It's bad timing.
When you decide to go, you end up failing to,
and the store closes.
Right.
Why didn't you tell him to come and have dinner with us?
He must be with his friend.
He said he'd have dinner.
Is that so?
Friend? Who?
What?
Are your parents home now?
Yes. They said their fryer broke down.
Then we should come back next time.
Let's have something else for dinner.
Wait. I have an idea.
I'll make you something even more delicious.
Something delicious?
Yes, something that energizes you.
It gives you courage...
and tiger-like energy.
There's no such food.
What? I'm telling you because it exists.
I'll make you a dish made with my dad's special recipe,
so let's go in.
What on earth are you making...
that you're keeping me waiting for?
Just hold on.
I'll serve you my soul food.
It smells good, though.
It's more than aromatic.
Ta-da.
I bet it'll heal your soul once you have it.
I added my love, care, and support to it.
Ta-da.
What is this?
It's kimchi porridge.
It's a dish my dad made for me whenever I was...
tired or out of energy.
Once you take a bite of it,
you'll have a fascinating experience of having your energy charged.
So try it.
Here.
What? I'm serious.
See if it's true or not.
Blow it well so you don't burn your tongue.
How is it? Doesn't it feel energizing?
Doesn't it warm you up?
Wait. Is it not good?
Or does it taste weird?
Did I not season it right?
- Wait. - It's good.
It's really good.
It's the best porridge I've had so far.
It's warm and tender.
It resonates and is touching.
I'm glad.
I thought it tasted bad.
I get why it's your soul food.
And why you were so confident about it.
Mr. Kim. The articles aren't going to be released right away,
so I'll find a way to stop them.
(Haha Chicken)
Yes. We have time until then.
What could've gone wrong and since when?
Gosh, nothing works my way.
Both Sun Woo and work.
Ha Young.
- Detective. - I didn't know...
I'd run into you here.
We've never run into each other here.
I know.
Are you here for a chicken?
No, I'm not.
I was on my way home,
and I thought I could grab a tea. What about you?
I was going to have a cup of chamomile.
Some difficult things happened at work.
I needed a change of air.
I had a headache too.
Then let's have a tea together.
I thought it'd be boring to have a tea by myself.
This is great.
Wait.
How are you here together?
Oh, we met in front.
I see.
What's with that apron?
You know that it doesn't suit you at all, right?
Well, I couldn't help it because the part-timer bought it.
I looked for the one I used before,
but it's nowhere to be seen.
Did the part-timer go home?
Yes, she worked during the day.
I see.
I have to drop by a convenience store to get some milk.
Could you look after the store for a minute?
Don't worry and go.
I know I don't come often,
but I can do that much.
She's right. I'm a regular, and I'm here too.
Then, please look after the store.
- Thank you. - Sure.
What would you like to drink?
I can make anything for you.
Really?
(Good Day for Coffee)
Gosh.
You made this?
It's so aromatic.
You know that I only poured water into it.
The citron extract was already made.
The citron was already here too.
Pouring the exact amount of water is difficult too.
At the right temperature and in the right amount.
You should've become a kindergarten teacher,
seeing how you're so good at complimenting.
Should I have done that?
Why does your head hurt, though?
Did something happen at work?
Oh...
I don't get why things get messed up...
the harder I try.
I actually tried my best,
and I meant it.
Everything I do goes wrong these days.
Really?
Come on.
You seem like you're good at everything.
You're wrong.
Something that I did for someone...
ended up hurting him.
I did it to help that person,
but it only caused him damage.
Things I do keep turning out the way I never intended...
and keep getting out of my control, which makes me upset.
Well...
I'm not sure if this can console you,
but doesn't the same go for everyone's life?
It's not just you.
We all lose some...
and give up on some in life.
Since everyone else does so, I shouldn't do the same.
That way I can achieve...
what I want.
So did getting what you wanted...
always make you happy?
Whenever you got something you wanted,
didn't you find something else you wanted?
As if desiring and achieving things were the sole purpose of your life.
Ha Young.
How about you loosen up a little?
Let go of just a little.
And try to see just a little further.
("Snow," Last night, the white snow lightened the dark ground.)
I'm done with my writing homework.
Now I'm going to read a book.
What? Who is this?
She's pretty.
My, it's so sweet.
Grandma.
Hey.
Ga Ram, you're here.
I was going to call you out so you could have some fruit.
Grandma, who is this person?
What? Who?
What? Where did you find this?
In Dad's book on the bookshelf in our room.
What? In your dad's book?
Show me.
Oh, my.
She is Ga Ram's...
What is it, Great-grandpa? Who is this lady?
Well... The thing is, the lady in this photo is...
Right. She's your dad's friend.
Dad's friend?
Yes. She went to the same school as your dad.
- Father, please give me the photo. - Okay.
Why did he keep this in his book?
But why does Dad have her photo?
Did Dad like her?
Nonsense.
Your dad never liked her.
She has nothing to do with your dad.
Come on. You're lying.
Seeing that he has her photo, he must've liked her.
I, too, save the photos of people I like on my phone...
Stop it. I told you that wasn't the case.
Goodness.
Grandma.
Why would she take her anger out on a little kid?
Ga Ram, don't worry about that.
Here. Have a piece of persimmon.
Goodness, her.
Gosh.
She abandoned her child...
and never came back to see him. How heartless.
Why would he keep her photo? I can't believe him.
Why wouldn't you ask...
what happened in the States?
What happened?
Did the people around you betray you?
Did your friends turn their backs on you?
Even though you helped them?
To tell you the truth, I heard the conversation you had...
with Ed Williams.
I heard what he had done wrong...
and what he had done to you when you raised an issue about it.
It wasn't that I tried to be a hero.
And it was absolutely not that I was trying...
to change the world with a strong sense of justice.
I just hated...
to see my friends and colleagues suffer.
I also hated to see how the money that was supposed to be used...
to make a better movie was used to fulfill someone's greed.
That was the only reason why it all began.
I guess that your raising an issue about those problems...
seemed to Ed as an act of betrayal against him.
You could've turned a blind eye and chosen an easy path,
but you chose a different path.
I thought my friends would understand me.
And that my work colleagues...
would be on my side.
But I was wrong.
They all took Ed's side.
Even Jennifer who was the reason why I decided to step in.
I thought...
that we had shared profound feelings...
as friends and as a director and an actress.
Director Kang.
You remember what I told you, right?
I will always stay by your side...
and take your side.
Even if all other people turn their backs on you,
I'll be on your side to the end.
Eun Sung.
Did you get home safely?
Don't think about anything and get a good night's sleep.
Thanks to you, I had tasty porridge...
and was comforted.
Today wasn't all that bad, after all.
It would've been the worst day if it hadn't been for you.
I'm glad that I cheered you up.
Eun Sung.
I, too, promise I'll always stay by your side...
and take your side.
Even if all other people turn their backs on you,
I'll be on your side to the end.
(Sim Jung Ae and Yoo Eun Hyuk are parent and child.)
Eun A and Eun Hyuk have been proven to be Jung Ae's children.
Don't drag it on any longer and tell her the truth.
He's right.
I've dragged it on for 30 years. I should no longer do so.
I must let Jung Ae meet her children as soon as possible.
What are you doing now?
Are you...
cooking?
Yes. I went grocery shopping early this morning to cook for you.
I bought some hairtails that you like...
and freshly made acorn jelly.
Are you not feeling well?
Hey, are you dreaming right now?
Gosh, no.
I'm in my right mind.
I'm not dreaming or anything like that.
Then why are you acting like this?
You never cooked for me.
I realized that I had always enjoyed the food you made,
but I had never prepared a meal for you, and I regretted it.
Did you...
cause trouble?
Are you trying to butter me up? Is that it?
Let's eat first and then talk.
Do not distract me until the food is ready, okay?
Seeing how she acts, it must be serious.
It must be like a giant hurricane.
What? Your auntie is making breakfast?
Yes. I found it so unusual and decided to tell you.
So you can finish getting ready and come to see this interesting sight.
Didn't she say anything unusual?
No, she didn't say much.
Where's your mom?
She finds Aunt Jung Sook suspicious, so she's keeping an eye on her.
I guess...
Jung Sook has decided to confess her wrongdoings.
This is the first meal I've ever made for you guys.
Did you really make all these dishes?
You came unannounced and cooked for us?
Yes. But I'm not sure if the food tastes good.
I just followed the recipes I found on the Internet.
It's a shame that Sun Woo is not here.
It'd be more fun to see this if he were here too.
Why? Did Sun Woo leave early?
Yes, he did. He said he had work to do.
Just as she said, I wish Sun Woo was here too.
I wanted to have breakfast with Ki Seok, Jung Ae,
and both of my niblings, all of us together.
Are you going somewhere?
Why would you say that like it's such a big deal?
You'll keep coming to our house almost every day...
and eating with us as you have until now.
You're wrong, Jung Ae. That might not happen.
When I confess my wrongdoings to you...
All right. Let's eat now.
Jung Sook, thank you. I'll enjoy your food.
Don't mention it. Enjoy, Ki Seok.
Let's eat.
What's this taste? It's too bland.
Just eat up.
Your dad's right. Your auntie worked hard to cook.
Enjoy the food, Jung Ae.
If you find out what I've done,
this might be the last time we eat together.
Our goal is to stop articles from getting published.
But they're all dying to release articles.
I told them we'd do anything to stop releasing articles,
whether it be us doing interviews or a press conference.
But they all turned us down.
What they want is to draw attention...
and increase the hits.
And the reason comes after that.
I mean, I asked Reporter Park...
if he could send me the first draft of the article,
and I did.
Guess what the headline is.
"Did Director Kang, who is considered a betrayer,"
"make up all of his image for marketing purposes?"
Are they all out of their minds?
That's not all.
I don't know how the rumor spread in the biggest movie community,
but some posts attacking the director have been posted.
I just shared the link.
"The Identity of Director Kang Who Was Ousted..."
"by the Famous Hollywood Producer."
Gosh.
It hasn't been that long, but it's got tens of comments.
"Enough with the Hollywood talk."
"The director is a swindler."
Gosh, they are so harsh.
Those who did not know about Director Kang...
are busy condemning him.
Do you suppose Director Kang has seen this?
He'd be so hurt if he did.
What's wrong with everyone? It's as if they got together.
It can't be helped even if the articles are released.
It will shake you a lot, though.
You know how the public...
is stingy with compliments but strict with judgments.
There's a show trial for a reason.
It's not just about me.
I'm worried that it might affect the movie...
that we haven't begun shooting.
Gosh, you're right.
There's nothing good that could come out of this.
The investors might talk about pulling their investments.
I got played by Ed.
He was more meticulous and nasty than I thought.
I should've kept that in mind.
Gosh.
So we are down to two options.
It's either we stop the articles or we stop Ed.
But it looks like there's no other way to stop the articles.
Then we should convince Ed.
Can't the director just apologize and move on?
I mean, it's just a way to take it out on him.
It's a matter of pride too.
What do you think Ed would want in the end?
Ridicules by the public? No.
It's Director Kang's apology.
To be exact, it's to have Director Kang kneel before him.
But we can't have Director Kang do that.
Who was at fault from the start?
And who committed corruption, after all?
So, can you come up with a more realistic resolution?
Ma'am.
Are you agreeing with Yoon A's idea?
I'm just saying that if there's no other way,
we must rethink it.
Instead of talking idealistically...
and talking about moral stuff.
This isn't about idealism but about conscience.
It's about the values that the director has had all his life.
Ms. Yoo. Are you trying to teach me?
How dare you act arrogant?
You caused all this trouble.
So why must the director make an apology?
If you were a little more considerate,
and if you knew how to be more caring,
you wouldn't be able to say those things.
Ms. Yoo. Is that all you can say?
Was I wrong?
I don't believe I was wrong.
Gosh, Ga Ram. I thought I told him to clean up.
What?
Where did it go?
Gosh.
Mom.
Did you get rid of the photos here?
Hye Young's photos.
That's right. I did.
It's been as long as six years.
But you have lingering feelings that you still have those photos.
I found that pathetic.
Why would you rummage through my room?
I know you're my mom,
but it's my room, and I even have a child.
Goodness. Look who's talking.
Do you know who brought that photo?
It was Ga Ram, not me.
What? It was Ga Ram?
That's right. He asked me who this was.
And why you would have her photo.
Goodness.
How is it natural for her to call her mother a sister?
Can you dare to tell Ga Ram that she's his mom...
when he asks who she is?
No, wait...
Why keep it to yourself when you can't bring it up?
Why keep the photo of his mother...
when you can't reveal her proudly?
I mean, she said she'd return.
She promised me.
Goodness. Gosh, what a fool.
Gosh, you're such a fool.
What's the point of a promise...
that wouldn't last a season?
If you're going to act pathetic and look at her photos,
you should just meet anyone and get married.
Just pick anyone who's been married...
once or twice and just get married already.
Goodness.
Gosh, this is unbelievable.
If you're that confident,
find a way to make Ed step back.
In a noble and conscientious way...
that wouldn't hurt Director Kang.
Why would she throw a fit?
I only mentioned it because I couldn't find a way.
It's not like Ms. Yoo said something off.
So where is she off to?
She's going to the Journalist Association.
She said she'd meet the president...
to either complain or plead.
I see.
Then we should be doing something.
Wait.
Jennifer is in Korea.
Jennifer?
They all took Ed's side.
Even Jennifer who was the reason why I decided to step in.
Yes. She must be here to promote her movie.
Jennifer played a big role in a movie Star Pictures invested in.
It looks like she's staying at the Royal Hotel with her daughter.
Do you think you can find out which room Jennifer is staying in?
I'm not sure.
I think I can figure it out if I can work some connections out.
Then can you share with me Jennifer's room number?
I mean...
What's with her all of a sudden?
Is she going to see Jennifer now?
Jennifer is in Room 2003.
You can't access this floor.
Oh, right.
Hello, I'm Yoo Eun Sung from Cheong Film.
I'm here to see Jennifer.
Has this been arranged?
Oh, no. Not really.
If it's not prearranged,
you cannot see her.
It'll only take a brief moment.
I have something important to tell her.
Please return now.
What do I do?
What? It's Jennifer.
Jennifer! Hey, Jennifer!
I'm a friend of Kang Sun Woo!
Oh...
Oh, thank you.
I'm... Hi.
My name is Yoo Eun Sung,
working for Cheong Film.
Cheong Film?
Yes, I'm working on a movie with Director Kang.
And Ed Williams had an interview with him yesterday and...
I know nothing. Don't ever come see me again.
Oh, excuse me, Jennifer.
No, I'm sorry.
Please. Please just give me a minute.
Jennifer! Hey!
Gosh, what do I do?
Wait.
No. Kid!
Wake up!
(Unpredictable Family)
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have acted up when I didn't know any better.
Emily!
The only person who can stop Ed...
is Jennifer. That's what I think.
But she didn't change her mind after all, I suppose.
If you keep dragging it on, you'll only suffer more.
It's not like it will change the fact that you did what you did.
I will curse them until the day I die.
Why is my heart fluttering...
when Mr. Shin is just standing right in front of me?
That's so childish. What is it?
Let's work together to find anything.
Ha Young, what is wrong with you?
What happened to your confidence that made me fall for you?
