Hey.
Yu Ran.
Let's meet up.
(Episode 109)
I've been waiting for your call.
Have you made up your mind?
Yes.
I thought about it a lot before I made my decision...
because I'd be risking my entire life.
Blackmailing Jun Hu and getting two million dollars?
It doesn't sound impossible.
Then I can also pay him back...
for looking down on me and treating me like I'm worthless.
(President Jeong Jun Hu)
If the two of them decide to come up with a story,
it'll cause a pretty big uproar.
An affair between an actress and the president of an agency.
It's quite an enticing headline.
I'll pay him back for everything he did to me,
and I'll even get to make money.
Most importantly,
I really want to see...
the look on Jun Hu's face.
But...
I'm not going to do it.
What... What did you just say?
You're not going to do it?
That's right.
I still have about 70 years left to live.
I've already been living irresponsibly for 30 years.
I don't want to live like that anymore.
But that's the best kind of revenge.
We'll get to pay him back for everything he put us through.
Do you think...
I have the right to do that?
I have no right to take revenge or punish people.
In the end, he'll get punished one way or another.
I don't want to live like trash and focus my life...
on taking revenge.
I'd rather live a proper life from now on.
I thought you were more like me.
To be honest, I did get swayed by your offer.
But...
I made a promise to my dad.
Jin Sang.
When I decided to die,
I thought of you first...
before I thought of Jin Bong.
I told myself that my death will be worthwhile...
if it helps you get to your senses.
Why do you think I even thought of leaving Jin Bong behind?
So please...
get to your senses.
Like you said,
you still have 70 more years to live.
So please wake up and start living a proper life.
Okay?
Yu Ran.
The reason I wanted to tell you in person was that...
I wanted to convince you.
- Convince me? - Yes.
I thought it'd be nice...
if you could also change your mind about this.
I don't know if you're doing this because you love Jun Hu...
or if it's just to take revenge.
But stop ruining your life because of him.
In the end, it's your life.
Don't you have a family?
No, wait. Didn't you say you have a son?
Think about him.
Think about your son.
And start living a proper life from now on.
I'll be off now. I need to get to work.
What? Mr. Lee Jin Sang?
Yes, I feel bad about how we kicked him out.
Okay, sir.
I felt quite bad about it as well.
This time, make sure he goes through a proper recruitment process.
Okay, sir.
Mr. Lee will be really happy to hear this.
Hey, come here and eat.
Okay, I'll join you after I finish this.
Okay.
He's such a hard-working young man.
- This looks delicious. - Yes.
Hey, Ms. Oh.
Yes.
What? Really? Are you serious?
Yes, okay.
I'm busy working today.
So I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay, bye.
Dad, I'm so glad I decided to listen to you.
This is all thanks to you, Dad.
My gosh.
This is all because of Jin Sang.
How long do I need to keep peeling these onions?
My eyes sting so much.
My gosh, this wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Jin Sang.
Grandpa, stop badmouthing my dad.
I didn't badmouth him. I was just talking about him.
You badmouthed him.
Why don't you just blame yourself?
Blame yourself for having raised him the wrong way.
My goodness, my eyes sting so much.
He's crying as he's peeling onions.
- My gosh. - My goodness.
I bet he was really excited to move to your place at first.
That's his problem.
I'm going to turn him into a decent human being.
But why are you asking him to peel onions instead of garlic?
Back then, I used to peel garlic as a part-time job.
- But this time, - Yes?
- What is it? - Hae Jin started selling...
onion pork cutlets at her restaurant.
She sells so many of them.
They're really popular.
Enjoy.
What are you doing here again?
Stop asking me that and just say you're glad to see me.
I need to show up once in a while to make people happy.
Who are you talking about?
People who are here to have a taste.
See? They all like me.
(Ssyong Ssyong Pork Cutlet)
You're not wearing a suit today.
So you're obviously not here to show off your suit.
Are you here to show me that you look handsome...
- regardless of what you wear? - No.
I washed my face this morning and looked at myself in the mirror.
And I looked especially handsome today.
My heart fluttered. I practically fell for myself.
So I came to show you my good-looking face.
You're unbelievable.
Don't just laugh. Why don't you take a close look?
I don't need to take a close look to know how handsome you are.
So stop it already.
I was on my way to the broadcasting station.
And my feet led me here, so I thought I'd drop by.
Why do you need to go to the broadcasting station?
I don't know. My brother-in-law keeps asking me to come.
"Brother-in-law"?
My gosh.
Hurry up and get going.
What's the matter? Aren't we going to get married soon?
My goodness, just get out of here.
(Ssyong Ssyong Pork Cutlet)
Will you stop coming here?
The entire neighborhood will find out about us at this rate.
I want everyone to find out so that no one will covet you.
No one is coveting me.
You'd better not stare at all those pretty actresses.
Okay?
Don't worry. There won't be any pretty actresses today.
- What? - I'll see you.
What?
Does that mean he stares at them whenever he's around them?
Dal Nam.
Do you also think he's really handsome?
What?
I'm worried that the pretty actresses...
might start hitting on him.
It's a fact that he's good-looking.
What if the actresses follow him around...
and tell him they like him?
- Ms. Kang. - Yes?
I'm going to go to the bathroom and throw up.
What?
I don't feel so well.
I'm so worried.
I'm worried because he's handsome.
But I guess I'd be even more worried if he was ugly.
(Jangmonim Chicken)
What's wrong?
This is so annoying.
There are tons of pretty actresses at the broadcasting station.
Where?
Let me take a look.
You're a part-timer. Don't even think about it.
Dong Bae.
Don't you think my husband is really handsome?
What?
I'm so bothered by all the pretty actresses.
What if they follow him around...
and keep hitting on him?
I'm sure they won't do that.
Why not? He's obviously good-looking.
I know the skies don't create perfect people.
But if they made a mistake...
and accidentally created the most perfect human on earth,
that would definitely be my husband.
- Jin Bong. - Yes?
I'm going to go and throw up.
What?
What's wrong with him? Even I don't have morning sickness.
You're far better than I am.
What are you talking about? You're way better than me.
Nonsense.
You're better than me.
No, you're better than me.
It'd be better for you to talk.
No, you'll do a far better job.
You're here, sir.
Have a seat. You can sit down.
So have you thought about my idea?
The main character's daughter...
should turn out to be her sister-in-law's daughter.
That'd be way more exciting.
What? You don't want to do that?
Then what about the little boy?
Let's have him turn out to be the friend's son.
That way, the viewers will feel sorry for the male lead...
for having raised him like his own when he was someone else's son.
I'm giving you great ideas. Why can't you accept them?
Don't you agree?
What's the matter with you two?
You don't want the female lead to take revenge.
And you don't even want the annoying husband...
to fight over who gets to inherit the company.
Then there should at least be a twist with the children's birth.
Why don't you let us handle it?
I know that you guys are trying to make a good drama.
But this is about adultery anyway.
Once it airs on TV, people will think of it as a provocative drama.
Then we should just give the viewers what they want...
and make it really intriguing.
I'm sorry,
but I don't think my drama is provocative.
- What? - Some people might think that way.
But just because others think of my drama that way...
doesn't mean I should do the same.
I didn't write this to talk about adultery.
I wanted to talk about how precious it is to have a family.
I don't care about revenge or a twist in someone's birth.
I wanted to talk about the actual hardships of normal people.
I want to show how people recover from their pains.
And I want to show how bad people get punished...
and how they eventually turn good.
That's the kind of stuff I want to talk about.
I know it's my job to write scripts.
But I didn't start this career for money.
I don't care if I don't get a lot of acknowledgement.
I'd rather have a few people receive consolation...
from watching my drama.
("Wanna Taste"?)
My goodness.
My gosh.
Why did he have to put on such a straight face?
See? I knew it'd be better for you to do the talking.
Director Kang.
You don't think the show will get canceled, do you?
What if it gets canceled?
This is why I wanted you to do the talking.
You still managed to convince him.
And that's all that matters.
In the end, he'll get punished one way or another.
I don't want to live like trash and focus my life...
on taking revenge.
I'd rather live a proper life from now on.
I don't know if you're doing this because you love Jun Hu...
or if it's just to take revenge.
But stop ruining your life because of him.
In the end, it's your life.
If I don't punish him, who will?
Who?
- You're home. - Yes.
I heard you rejected my dad's investment.
You're awfully interested in my business these days.
Don't draw a line between us.
I only mentioned it because my dad called...
and told me about it.
But why did you refuse?
It was a pretty good offer.
I'm not sure.
But the terms were too perfect, and that bothered me a little.
What?
Your father is a businessman,
but so am I.
It just felt weird that your father wanted me to give him my shares...
even by risking a loss on his end.
That's because you're his son-in-law, and he trusts...
I may be his son-in-law, but we're not related by blood.
Even married couples can become strangers once they get divorced.
Don't you agree?
- Mother, we're home. - Hey.
You're home.
Cheol Jin, come to my room.
Mom, you're going to do it again?
Yes.
Grandpa is in the kitchen.
- Hey. - Father, we're home.
Yes, you're back.
Dad, you peeled a lot of onions today.
What? Yes.
Hey, I can peel onions really fast now.
I'm going to practice a bit more and appear on the TV show...
called "Life Perfectionist".
Let's go on "Life Perfectionist".
You're really amazing, Uncle.
It's easy.
Then why doesn't Aunt Jin Bong know how to read it?
- Mom, here you go. - Okay.
It's all done.
Look. There.
Did you see that?
Yes. You're really good.
- I did it in one go. - Mr. Lee, here you go.
My son, an SNU graduate, wrote it for you.
That darn Seoul National University.
Why do you keep bringing me this?
This is the last one.
There's no point in bringing you more...
because you're not smart enough to take everything in.
So this is going to be my last lesson.
Read it.
Director Kang, let's go.
Oh, right. You wouldn't know how to read it.
"What goes around comes around."
It says "What goes around comes around."
Do you know what that means?
Stop asking me and just tell me what it is.
In other words,
it means you reap what you sow.
It means there's always a cause and effect.
So if you do something good, you receive a reward.
And if you do something bad, you get punished.
The reason you're living like this is all because of yourself.
And the reason I'm living like this is all thanks to my good deeds.
Do you understand?
Now, get back to peeling those onions.
How long do I need to keep peeling these onions?
Right.
Who am I going to blame?
But...
You wrote something about me.
Did you like it when I read you a book last night?
Yes.
Then I'll read you another book. I'll make it really fun.
Should I brush it like this?
Or how about like this?
You look adorable.
You look like a girl.
I want to go back.
You're here.
You could've just gone home.
I promised to help you close your restaurant.
You didn't glance at other women, did you?
There weren't any pretty actresses today.
Did everything go well today?
They wanted to talk to me about editing my script.
But I failed to accept it with a humble mind.
- The head of the department... - Dae Gu, wait.
What?
It's really late, so let's save it for next time.
Let me hear it next time.
Then how about just five minutes? Let me just talk for five minutes.
- No. - Five minutes will do.
Make sure you lock the door.
You don't need to walk me home every day.
Just stay home and write your script with a humble mind.
I really can't help myself.
By the way, your show airs tomorrow, doesn't it?
Should we watch it together?
- No. - Why not?
Are you embarrassed?
I already promised to watch it with someone else.
Who?
Someone I love the most.
What? Who is that?
Yu Ri.
I guess I'll let her keep that position.
But only until she gets married.
You should go now.
Mom.
Hey, Yu Ri. What were you doing?
I was learning about what goes around comes around.
What?
Yes.
Let's become a new person...
for the sake...
of my daughter.
Ms. Oh, you're here.
Mr. Lee.
Did you come to work earlier than everyone else?
I figured it'd be nice to clean the office before everyone got here.
Well...
It was a nice idea, but you didn't have to do this.
I don't know how to do anything else.
So this is the least I can do for now.
Ms. Oh, I look forward to learning a lot from you.
You keep surprising me today.
Mr. Lee, you've changed so much.
It's a good thing, right?
Yes, of course. You were so...
I'll just stop there.
Okay.
Mom, your show is about to start!
Hello, and welcome to Ms. Kang's Tasty Dish.
Mom, that's you! That's really you!
My goodness, you look beautiful.
I'll help you cook a delicious meal.
My gosh.
I want to watch the show with them, but I can't even go outside.
My goodness.
Let me introduce the first dish that I'll be cooking with you today.
It's my favorite dish of all time.
It's codfish soup.
Dad, that's your nickname.
Yes, I know. Gosh, it's so embarrassing.
Ms. Kang's Tasty Dish will come back next week.
That was amazing. This show is going to be a huge hit.
Ms. Oh, the show is already on the real-time search list.
I told you I have good taste.
Mr. Lee, when did you get here?
We were looking for you.
I came just a while ago.
You all seemed busy, so I bought lunch for everyone.
Gosh, you didn't need to do that.
Enjoy your lunch. I'm going to get some water.
Hae Jin...
is really amazing.
Dae Gu.
Did I do well?
Yes, you did great.
I feel like I've become a really successful woman.
I know.
I almost didn't recognize you on TV.
Dae Gu.
I'm ready to face whatever hardship that might come my way.
I'm ready to hang in there until I find happiness again.
Just like how spring always comes back after winter,
happiness always comes back to us...
regardless of how long it might take.
Just like...
how you came to me?
If I ever have to go through another hardship,
you will be there for me, right?
Of course.
(Wanna Taste?)
Were you really the one who tipped off the reporter...
regarding Bae Yu Ran's past?
Were you attracted by Yu Ran?
Are you suspicious of me?
No, I'm not suspicious. I know it for a fact.
How much do you want?
You're going to buy love?
I don't think I can live without your love.
I wonder what he'll say after he sees these photos.
