(Episode 98)
Hello, Ms. Jung.
Who is this man?
Who is he?
He's my cousin.
Your cousin?
Yes, he returned from Vietnam a couple of days ago.
We had to meet up to discuss a family matter.
Is that really true?
Hye Yoon, I'll be off then.
- Okay. - Don't skip meals.
I'll be in touch.
Anyway, I guess you two are going somewhere.
Yes, we want to grab a drink together.
I see.
Right. I heard the two of you were sisters.
You two seem very close now. It's really nice to see.
Of course, we're close.
We decided to get along, like close friends.
We've let go of all the hard feelings...
and are starting over with a clean slate as sisters.
All right. Go and have fun.
It's getting late, so I should go home.
Don't you think there is something fishy about that woman?
That's what my gut tells me.
You think so too?
I'm getting a bad feeling. I sense danger.
So, what's your point?
It's getting late, and the shop is already closed for the day.
Why did you have to wake me up?
Aunt Jung Sook, something's fishy about Jung Hye Yoon.
The mysterious man is suspicious too,
although she said he was her cousin.
Oh, boy. I was surprised to hear that you were giving up so quickly.
When the two of you said you'd both give up on Mr. Shin,
I found it very hard to believe.
Aunt Jung Sook, we really saw something very strange.
Earlier, I didn't think much of it because I was flustered.
But they were giggling together, weren't they?
They were giggling so loudly together.
Especially the giggle I heard at the end.
I swear, it wasn't just a giggle.
Who cares if they were giggling?
Can Ga Ram's mom not even laugh?
Does she always have to look depressed...
to avoid being caught by you two...
while looking happy so she won't get on your nerves?
No, it's not that.
There was definitely something between those two.
I mean, she could never be that flirty around that guy...
if he really were her cousin.
Oh, dear. My face feels all sticky right now.
I bought a cheap face cream, and my skin won't absorb it.
Aunt Jung Sook, can't you be serious for once?
Your face cream isn't important now.
I'm telling you. Mr. Shin's future is in crisis.
Okay, so? What will you do?
Will you two stop him from getting back together with Ga Ram's mom?
If it is necessary, it must be done.
Min Guk is my friend.
That's right. If he is in danger, we must save him.
Mr. Shin is my dream.
You have something to tell me?
Yes.
Mother.
You must know that Eun Sung has returned to the team.
Yes.
You were probably hoping I'd never find out,
but it was all over the Internet,
so I heard all about it.
Then you must also know...
that it had nothing to do with my feelings for her...
and that she came back because we needed her to complete the film.
So?
What is it that you're trying to tell me?
She has nothing to do with me now.
We already broke up,
so if you have something to say, you can talk to me.
Don't call her.
What?
Did she tell you that I had called her?
No.
I happened to overhear her talking on the phone with you.
Do you expect me to believe that?
Are you two back together? Have you two been talking behind my back?
Whether you believe me or not, it doesn't matter.
I am telling you the truth.
Then do you know whom Eun Hyuk is seeing now?
Did you not overhear it when she was on the phone?
What do you mean?
Who is Eun Hyuk seeing?
He's seeing Ms. Shin at the moment.
He wants to marry her.
What? Eun Hyuk is seeing Ms. Shin?
How did that happen?
Eun Sung, please help me out.
This is embarrassing, but I must ask you for help.
Both Mom and Dad are against my relationship with Ha Young.
Mom and Dad met your birth mother,
so I have to say it's only natural...
that both families are against it.
I should have explained it to my birth mother in advance...
before letting her see me and Ha Young together.
I can't believe we ran into my birth mother on that wide street.
You must be under a lot of stress.
Having to talk about ending things with the person you love...
regardless of your feelings...
just because your parents are against it.
I know how hurtful that is.
Of course, you of all people understand how that feels.
That's why I feel bad asking you to side with me,
to tell you the truth.
Don't feel bad, Eun Hyuk.
Just because things didn't work out between me and Director Kang,
it doesn't mean you and Ms. Shin should end things too.
Even if I decide to help you,
I won't be able to do much.
But if there's anything I can do to help,
I'll jump in right away and do it.
Okay. Thanks, my little sister.
You must be devastated.
You just love someone. That's all.
Do you think this relationship is normal?
A woman who had feelings for your brother...
is dating you now.
I cannot break up with Eun Hyuk.
After all the things we went through to meet again...
I've thought about it.
I'm going to ally with Jung Ae.
You're going to ally with her?
Why, all of a sudden?
To make sure Eun Hyuk...
and the neighbor's daughter will end things for good,
I must join forces with Jung Ae for the time being.
I understand you two have the same goal,
but how could you join forces with Jung Ae?
Why not?
Enemies can work together if need be.
I mean, Kang Ki Seok's son beat our son.
Doesn't it hurt your pride?
Eun Hyuk had a crush on her for a long time,
but she didn't even spare a glance at him because she liked Sun Woo.
Oh, that's right.
No one can beat our son because he's a great catch,
although Sun Woo is a good catch too.
Anyway...
So are you going to meet with Jung Ae?
Yes, why not? I can do anything for my son.
I guess you're in shock because of what happened yesterday.
I'm not here to fight.
I came to have...
a constructive conversation with you about Eun Hyuk.
"A constructive conversation?"
Ms. Shin and Eun Hyuk can't be together.
You and I both agree on it.
Let's break them up...
and...
find someone better for Eun Hyuk.
Okay, so?
Have you come up with specific ideas on how we will go about it?
We'll meet with Ms. Shin...
and explain all the cons...
of dating Eun Hyuk in detail.
We have an ace in the hole.
An ace in the hole?
Two mothers-in-law.
What?
If Ms. Shin married Eun Hyuk,
she'd have two mothers-in-law, which are me and you.
No woman in the world...
would be happy to have two mothers-in-law.
Anyone would rather not get married at all.
Hey.
Are you saying that Eun Hyuk will stay single forever...
because of us or what?
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying that I'll make her think that way when I talk to her.
I'll tell her that Eun Hyuk has a fussy mother like you...
and a nosy mother like me.
That's a good idea.
Having one mother-in-law would be stressful enough.
So if she knows that both of us are hard to deal with,
she'll be put off.
Of course.
On top of that, I spread the word about what happened...
when Ms. Shin's father went on a blind date before.
So I'm pretty sure her family don't like me so much.
In that sense, the same goes for me.
Ms. Shin saw...
how I tried to set Sun Woo up with someone whom I found good enough.
She must've figured out I was picky and difficult to please.
Then I guess we have everything we need.
The mother-in-law with a bad temper...
and the mother-in-law with a big mouth.
Do you think our plan will work?
I believe it will.
There's no family that can avoid trouble...
when the mother-in-law steps in.
That's true. When a mother-in-law steps in,
that always makes the situation worse.
Min Guk.
Are all of Hye Yoon's family members in Vietnam?
And her relatives too?
Yes, I think so. Why do you ask?
No reason. We're just curious.
Since she came back to Korea after six years,
I'm sure there aren't many people she knows living in Korea.
So we thought she might be lonely.
Her cousin came to Korea a few days ago,
but he'll go back soon.
She seems very sad about it.
But the two of you...
saw Hye Yoon's cousin not long ago, as far as I heard.
Oh, right. She said he was her cousin.
Maybe because I drank too much last night,
I forgot that for a moment.
Right. Me too.
I drank too much soju-beer cocktail.
So I barely remember that I ran into them.
Why? Did something happen to you guys?
Why did you drink so much?
Well... We were just feeling blue.
By the way, Ga Ram's mom must be very close to her cousin.
Rather than relatives, they looked more like friends...
or a couple.
She's right.
They were laughing together in such a friendly way.
Oh, that.
They grew up together,
so they have a close bond with each other.
He's Hye Yoon's uncle's son.
Her uncle passed away when they were little.
And Hye Yoon's parents took him in.
Oh, I see. They're almost like siblings.
And Hye Yoon said when she showed him Ga Ram's photo,
he found it so intriguing and laughed.
He saw how Ga Ram squinted one eye...
while eating spicy food.
And he said Ga Ram looked just like Hye Yoon.
Oh, I see.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
Jung Hye Yoon told Min Guk everything about the man.
Does that mean she has a clear conscience?
Normally, people don't tell things when they feel guilty.
No. Maybe she beat us to it because she felt guilty.
To prepare and defend herself just in case.
Is that so?
I just can't seem to figure it out.
I don't know if we're blinded by jealousy,
and that clouds our judgment.
Then let's reserve our judgment for now...
and see how things go for a little longer.
If Jung Hye Yoon really is up to something...
just as we suspect,
we'll pick up on something again.
Right. Let's stay as alert as possible...
and keep a close eye on her.
I told my mother...
not to call you again.
Oh, I see. Okay.
I made it clear that you returned because we needed you in my movie,
not because of my personal feelings about you.
So she won't ever call you again.
If my mother ever calls you again,
I want you to tell me.
You shouldn't carry the burden all by yourself.
I understand. I'll do that.
Oh, and...
I heard that Eun Hyuk was dating Ms. Shin.
Yes, that's right. Did you hear that?
I was surprised.
I had no idea the two of them had crossed paths.
I, too, found out only recently.
I knew Eun Hyuk had a crush on someone.
But I didn't know it was Ms. Shin.
What do you think about their relationship?
It seems that your parents and mine aren't happy about it.
I hope...
things will work out between them.
When a man and a woman are dating,
what matters most is their feelings for each other.
But couples can't continue their relationships for other reasons.
It breaks my heart.
I know.
Had the two people not fallen in love,
their relationship would never have started in the first place.
It's nonsense to talk about it without considering their love.
I know why they're against their relationship...
and understand how they feel.
But I want our parents to give way this time.
If their love is deeper...
than our parents' dissatisfaction.
I feel the same way.
I hope Eun Hyuk and Ms. Shin don't suffer...
or long for each other secretly...
while hiding their feelings for each other...
when they're right in front of each other.
What's with that vibe?
Am I catching you at a bad time?
What? No, you're not.
What's up?
I came to see Mr. Kim...
to discuss the budget issues and stopped by.
I see. Have a seat.
Is something going on? You look stressed out.
Oh, I'm just tired. That's all.
Are you tired mentally or physically?
I'm quite quick at catching on to things.
You and Ms. Yoo are a couple, right?
Or used to be, at least.
Are you curious about it?
Very much so.
Are you worried as an investor...
that it might negatively affect the movie's success?
That's one of the reasons.
But to be honest, I want to know for a personal reason as well.
For a personal reason?
Yes.
To tell you the truth, I...
You and Jung Ae really decided to join forces?
Yes.
I didn't know we hit it off so well until today.
When I said just a word, she understood everything.
My, that's so hard to believe.
If one of you said "cat," the other would hear "dog."
And if one of you said "lion," the other would hear "tiger."
Why is it hard to believe? We both love Eun Hyuk as his moms.
Speaking of which, I will give you...
your first mission.
My first mission?
Go to see Mr. Shin, the elderly one,
and tell him that we disapprove of Eun Hyuk dating his daughter.
Make it crystal clear, okay?
Tell him to make sure his daughter behaves herself properly.
How can I tell him such a thing? He's our neighbor.
It would only make both of us upset.
Then are you going to sit back and do nothing...
until they break up of their own accord?
Well, that's not it, but...
Then rather,
how about you talk to him?
Mr. Shin has a way with words.
I don't think I can beat him.
Goodness, you. Even though he lives young,
he's 80 years old. How good could he be with words?
If you're that confident, you should meet him.
Fine. Then I'll meet him.
Call him.
Tell him I want to see him to discuss regarding our kids.
(Good Day for Coffee)
I heard you wanted to see me.
Yes.
I want to talk to you about something...
regarding your daughter and my son.
All right. I asked my grandson and the part-timer...
to leave us alone for a while.
So feel free to tell me what's on your mind.
Oh, why are you speaking formally to me suddenly?
Well... Your daughter...
My daughter doesn't seem to be good enough for your son, right?
Pardon?
I understand. I'd think the same if I were you.
Anyone who has a great son like the cop guy...
who is so cool and handsome...
would feel the same way as you.
Well... No, that's not what I'm saying.
Ha Young is only good at her job.
She has a lot to learn and improve on.
As you know, I focused on my love life for years...
and didn't give my family enough attention.
Maybe because of the lack of love from me,
Ha Young is always prickly and sensitive.
And she's not very understanding.
Well, that's what all young ladies these days are like.
It's rare to see someone who's meek and understanding.
But she's competent. You know?
It's not easy to become a team manager at such a young age.
My, thank you for saying that.
That being said,
can't you try to adore my daughter?
Sorry?
My gosh. Your daughter is so adorable.
If there's anything you dislike about Ha Young,
I'll tell her to fix it no matter what.
She knows very well that she still has a lot to learn,
so she'll make the effort to be better.
Well, you don't need to...
- Ms. Ko. - Yes?
Grant this old man's only wish left.
Please? I wish to see my daughter...
marry the man she loves.
Please think of this old father...
and accept my daughter, Ms. Ko.
My gosh. This is not why I came here.
Please, Ms. Ko.
My goodness.
(Haha Chicken)
Did the talk with Mr. Shin go well?
The thing is...
I went in there to sternly tell him that we'd never approve of her,
but I couldn't.
What do you mean?
You were so confident when you told me to call him.
He begged me to accept her,
which is definitely not what I was expecting.
He said his daughter was not good enough for Eun Hyuk...
and kept begging me to think fondly of her,
so I couldn't say anything mean.
So all you did was sit there and listen to him?
Well, yes. That's what happened.
I mean, he didn't even let me talk.
He kept on talking nonstop.
My goodness. What is this, honey?
I told you that he had a way with words.
Gosh, who knew he'd react like that?
I went there unprepared,
and I fell for his trick.
My goodness.
Oh, boy.
So? Chun Young backed down and left?
That's right.
My humble, earnest attitude...
got her all flustered.
Father, your strategy totally worked.
How did you come up with such a great idea?
I wouldn't call it a strategy.
It's my desperate wish.
What? "Desperate wish?"
Yes. I want that cop to become my son-in-law.
Also, Ha Young finally realized her feelings...
and is letting herself love someone,
so I want to help protect her love.
I see. It's true that nothing beats sincerity.
Your warm sincerity must've moved her.
Well, I managed to put that tiger to sleep today,
but who knows when she'll wake up and start roaring at us again? Gosh.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
Hello?
Hey, it's me.
What happened last night?
Did they believe you?
Yes, I think so.
What could they do? I told them you were my cousin.
It was a good call to follow your suggestion and beat them to it.
I mean, telling them first instead of waiting for them...
to ask me.
Do Jun, but the thing is...
You know, yesterday...
Min Guk.
Hey, Hye Yoon.
When did you get here?
Just now.
The coffee beans will arrive tomorrow.
Where are you coming from?
Oh, I was at my friend's place.
I came to have a cup of coffee with you.
Really? Okay, let's go inside. It's cold.
He couldn't have heard what I said, right?
Here.
What about you? You don't want coffee?
I have to check the expiration dates on the teas first.
I see.
The coffee you make always tastes so good.
Anyway, where did the part-timer go?
We think the sink might be leaking, so she went to ask about it.
I see.
Do Jun, but the thing is...
Min Guk.
By the way, Ga Ram's mom must be very close to her cousin.
Rather than relatives, they looked more like friends...
or a couple.
You should look into her more carefully.
Don't sit by like and do nothing and get stabbed in the back again.
Hey, Hye Yoon.
About your cousin...
My cousin?
What about him?
What? Oh, it's nothing.
So?
You and Ko Chun Young have decided to join forces?
Yes, we'll break up Eun Hyuk and Ms. Shin.
Then we'll find someone better for him.
My, who knew this day would come?
The two of you will work together to achieve your common goal.
I can do anything for my son, Eun Hyuk.
See if you can find someone nice so we can set up a blind date for him.
As for Sun Woo, you want him to marry Ji Yeon, right?
Of course. Must you ask?
We must make sure they get married as soon as possible.
My goodness. Why?
You said you'd leave it to Ji Yeon and just see what would happen.
I said that...
before Yoo Eun Sung came back to Sun Woo's team.
At the moment, she is right by his side again.
Right. It's not like they broke up because they were no longer in love.
Who knows? They might change their minds and get back together.
Sun Woo isn't over her yet.
Just one look at his face, and I know he still loves her.
I hope Eun Hyuk and Ms. Shin don't suffer...
or long for each other secretly...
while hiding their feelings for each other...
when they're right in front of each other.
Eun Sung.
Oh, hey.
- I knew you'd still be here. - Yes.
Where were you?
What? Oh, I had somewhere to be.
- I see. - Were you practicing your lines?
Yes, I want to practice a little more.
Really?
Then how about we rehearse our scenes together?
I joined the team so late that I've barely had time to practice.
Sure, I'd love that. Which scene?
Well...
(Director Kang Sun Woo)
To tell you the truth, I...
I like you.
What?
You had no idea?
Not just as a friend. I have feelings for you.
Ji Yeon.
That's why I'm curious...
about your relationship with Ms. Yoo Eun Sung.
I can ask you about it, can't I?
Yes, you're right.
Eun Sung and I...
dated in the past.
Then, what about now?
Do you still have feelings for her?
Yes.
I'm not sure how she feels,
but I still have feelings for her.
I owe it all to you, Dong Hoon.
Ye Won. If it weren't for you,
I might have given up halfway through.
Thanks to your courage,
we've come this far.
No.
You were the one who helped me...
overcome my fear.
Ye Won.
Thank you.
Dong Hoon.
Mr. Yeon Je Ha.
I guess you two were rehearsing together.
Yes, I haven't really had a chance to rehearse my scenes.
Back when we were attending the acting academy,
I had a crush on Eun Sung.
Yes, we must make a proactive move.
No, feelings can change anytime.
Rather than giving up,
I would like to take my chances.
Hello.
- I'm Hye Yoon's cousin. - Sorry?
