(Episode 4)
Hello, I'm Park Dan Dan...
What...
Dan Dan?
Dad?
My goodness. Look who it is.
It really is Dan Dan.
Mom?
What is this?
Why are you here?
I got a job here as the live-in tutor.
How come you two are here as well?
Your dad got a job here as the live-in driver.
He only just started.
How can this be?
Then...
are you the driver they were referring to?
No way.
How can you be doing this for a living?
Seriously, Dan Dan?
You should've called us after getting this job.
After storming out, you ignored our calls.
Do you have any idea how worried we were?
We didn't know if you were alive, dead,
or starving to death.
Can't you see what all that worrying did to your dad?
That's enough.
We ran into her here and she seems fine, so we're good.
Nothing bad happened, right?
You're not sick or anything, are you?
I kept hearing your voice from around here...
and I thought I was hearing things.
It turns out that my hearing is fine.
My goodness.
How could we run into each other like this?
In the same house, no less.
So what's the plan?
What will the chairman think once he finds out?
No one would believe that a father and daughter...
didn't know the other one was here.
Come to think of it, you're right.
The family might find it suspicious...
and think this was planned from the very beginning.
They'll understand once we explain our situation.
That's only what you think.
Put yourself in their shoes.
They might find it creepy.
What if you tell the chairman and he fires you both?
Where will you go when we have no place to live?
And why exactly do we have no place to live?
Whose fault is all this?
What did you just say?
How can you say that to your mom when we were just reunited?
What do you think you're doing?
I'll discuss it with Ms. Cho first.
Just pretend not to know anything for now.
Like Mom says, I don't want us both to get fired.
We have nowhere else to go.
By the way, Mom, what are you doing here?
No way. Have you been living here in secret?
What? No, it's not like that.
I haven't found a place to stay yet.
So I'm staying here until I find a new place.
What?
Even if that's the case,
what are you doing, hiding in someone else's home?
What if you get caught? It will put Dad in trouble.
How can you be this reckless?
My goodness.
Gosh, how could she say such a thing to me?
Hey!
Who does she take after to be so spiteful?
My gosh.
Where do you think you're going?
I said I would take care of everything.
I can't mooch off you forever.
That's not who I am.
Sweetie.
Why would you say that?
I said I was fine with it.
Sweetie, is this because you don't trust me?
It's not that I don't trust you.
Your mom could barge in again anytime.
And I can't hide in the wardrobe every time she does.
Do you want me to run around without my underwear again?
Fine. I'll make sure Mom never comes here again.
Then it's fine, right?
That doesn't solve anything.
I've realized that we are too different.
Se Ryeon, I will get a job as soon as possible...
and come back as a decent guy.
Can you wait until then?
You're already a decent guy.
So you don't have to leave.
I'll take care of everything. Just trust me. Okay?
Se Ryeon.
What? He's the son of Miso Steel?
Really?
I'm telling you.
Then why did he run away? What did he do wrong?
It's not that he did something wrong.
That was because he was embarrassed.
If you were him,
would you want to say hello in nothing but a bathrobe?
I guess you're right. He was naked in a girl's house.
In the old days, he would've gotten a good beating.
You should've told me sooner.
I'm letting this slide because he's the son of Miso Steel.
Had I known, I wouldn't have been so rude to him.
I was going to tell you when the time was right.
So, Mom...
Just pretend not to know anything for the time being. Okay?
Sure. I got it.
But it's not good to drag things out too long.
When will you let me meet him?
Just wait a little more.
We just started dating.
Your brother will be so happy to know...
that you're dating the son of Miso Steel.
Still, don't tell Young Guk about it yet.
I'll tell him myself...
once things are settled.
Okay. This is a big deal,
so I have to keep it a secret.
I thought he seemed somewhat noble.
He ran like an athlete.
He seemed vigorous and manly.
Gosh, look at you.
You did a good job this time.
Sure. Did you think I'd date some random guy?
Gosh, you're unbelievable.
Se Ryeon, we have your favorite, braised tofu...
and lotus root salad.
Gosh, I'll eat it myself.
Young Guk, do you have any good news?
Good news?
I mean, did you perhaps get a girlfriend recently?
Young Guk, you're not going to live alone all your life, are you?
Hey, he's still young. He wouldn't be alone all his life.
He will just take time to meet someone nice.
I mean,
considering the situation he's in,
I think he should see someone around him.
Someone who will get along with the kids.
You know,
I quite like Guk Hee.
She's calm and kind.
And she's so consistent.
Young Guk, why don't you date her?
That's a good idea.
Her sister, Ms. Jang, is also affable.
They are from a good family.
Since she's a professor, she would teach the kids so well.
How long are you going to live like that, Se Ryeon?
Do you even want to come back to the company?
Young Guk, I've only taken two months off work.
Leave me alone.
She's right.
Just let her get some rest for the time being.
She should have some time to date and stuff.
You shouldn't date any random guy.
Why would she date random guys? Don't worry about that.
Se Ryeon has very high standards.
Why hasn't Dan Dan called?
She said she'd look into it,
but there's no news from her.
Honey, you should call Dan Dan.
We should come up with a plan.
Just wait a while.
Dan Dan has her own work. She probably can't call us anytime.
I'm just nervous.
I mean, how could this happen?
Tell me about it.
Do you think Chairman Lee would understand this situation?
There's no way he will understand.
Would you believe that a dad and his daughter got a job...
at the same house without knowing about the other?
That would only seem like our family is a mess.
You're right.
This won't be easy to understand.
Gosh. I blame Dan Dan for everything.
Why did she block our numbers in the first place?
Had we talked to each other, none of this would've happened.
Gosh.
Ms. Park, will you pick me up later on?
You won't go away?
Of course not. I'll be here to pick you up,
so don't worry.
Ms. Park, you promised to stay with me for a long time.
You'll keep that promise, right?
What do I do?
Dad and I aren't supposed to be here.
What? Are you serious?
The maid and driver who worked there...
hid that they were family and got caught later?
How very odd.
So they haven't hired anyone from the same family since then.
So did you not even talk to Ms. Cho?
What are you talking about?
They never hire those who are from the same family.
What do you think that means?
If they find out that you two were father and daughter,
both of you might get fired.
Dan Dan, what do we do now?
- What do you think... - Why do you even ask?
Rather than both getting the boot,
it's better that one of you keeps his or her job.
We have no choice. Dan Dan, you should quit.
Mom, why are you telling me to quit?
I had to stay at friends' houses before I finally got a job here.
If I quit, I have no place to go.
What? And do you think we do?
You're alone, but there's two of us.
If your dad quits, where would we go?
Will you stay quiet?
Okay.
I'll get things sorted out and quit, so...
What are you talking about? You can't do that.
You're still young, so you can go anywhere.
You can stay with your friends.
But if your dad and I leave,
we have no place to stay.
We need some money to find a place to live.
It's not like we can live in a studio at our age.
So why did you have to lose our house?
Why do you think we went broke?
It's because of you and that punk, Dae Bum.
Gosh. Fine.
I know I did it. It's all my fault.
But still,
how could you say such a thing to your own mom?
And what about you?
How could you do this to your daughter?
Do you even consider me your daughter?
What? I can't believe what you're saying.
Don't you know how I've raised you?
Did I ever let you skip a meal...
or send you on a picnic without any gimbap?
I ran to a doctor when you were sick...
and I tied and braided your hair every morning.
I can't believe this.
Why aren't you saying anything?
What did I do wrong?
Some moms even abandon their own children.
Will you stop?
I can't leave,
so you'll just have to find another job.
Wait, Dan Dan...
Hey, you!
I may be a useless mom, but how dare you treat me like this?
What? "That punk, Dae Bum?"
He's your older brother!
It's all a mess.
What am I supposed to do?
What do you mean?
What do you think I mean?
Why are you feigning ignorance?
She thinks we had an affair...
and kicked out her mom who then died.
That's why Dan Dan treats me the way she does.
She has no idea her mom left her.
You tell me. Did we have an affair?
We agreed not to mention that.
We did.
But I can't take it anymore.
Dan Dan is an adult now.
So tell her the truth.
Tell her that her mom left her and that we're not bad people.
That we didn't have an affair.
You want me to tell her right now that her mom abandoned her?
Honey.
If you...
ever say that again, I can't live with you.
It'll be the end of it.
What?
The end?
Honey.
How can you tell me it'll be over?
Honey.
Where are you coming back from this late?
Oh, well...
I went to the convenience store to get something.
At this time of night,
leaving the kids alone?
If you must go out at night leaving the kids alone,
tell Ms. Yeoju, Ms. Cho,
or me first.
I'll do that. I apologize.
(Lodgings provided)
(Security guard, factory worker, operator, clubhouse cook)
What am I supposed to do?
Why is my life never easy?
Why can't you eat?
Is something bothering you? Did you get told off again?
No. It's early, and I don't have an appetite.
Here, have some bulgogi and seasoned vegetables.
Try the nabak kimchi too. It'll bring your appetite back.
Thank you.
I'm back.
Mr. Park, are you back from the market already?
Put that down and join us for breakfast.
No, thanks.
I'll leave this here.
You would feel uncomfortable if you were to eat here.
I'll bring you some food later.
You don't have to. I still have some left.
Don't mind me.
He must be hungry.
Hang on.
Should I bring him some bulgogi before it gets cold?
Ms. Yeoju, you finish your meal. I'll bring him the bulgogi.
I'm done.
Will you do that for me?
Sure.
How is it so perfectly seasoned and tasty?
Don't just stand there. Come in.
How can I do that?
People would find it weird if they saw us.
Dad. I'll quit working here.
You can stay.
I came to say that.
Really?
Honey. Dan Dan made a huge decision.
You're a good, hard worker,
so you'll find a much better job than this.
No, Dan Dan. I said I would quit.
I was going to resign when the time was right.
So don't worry and stay.
Dad.
I said I would quit.
Just do as I say.
Se Jong seems to like you a lot.
If you quit just when he's getting attached,
he'll be so disappointed.
Can't we do what we're doing now...
and pretend you don't know each other?
All you have to do is not get caught.
Is it that hard?
That doesn't make any sense.
What would they think of us if they found out?
They'd think we're frauds.
We're done discussing that.
Then let's think about it for a couple of days.
Wait.
Are you shopping for your husband?
How about this? It just came in yesterday.
It looks nice.
I'll take this as well.
Okay.
"Husband?"
My gosh.
I quite like Guk Hee.
She's calm, kind, and consistent.
Young Guk, why don't you date her?
Guk Hee can never replace me.
He's too conservative.
My gosh. It tastes so good.
Ki Ja, this kimchi is so tasty.
If not made right, Korean lettuce kimchi...
gets so bitter you can't eat it raw.
This is seasoned perfectly...
and will taste just fine.
Will it? I'm glad it tastes good.
It's tasty because it took a lot of effort and care.
You know Korean lettuce kimchi...
is twice as hard to make as other types of kimchi, right?
I have to soak the lettuce in brine to take out the bitterness.
Yes, I know. Of course I know all that.
Here. This is for you.
Okay. Thanks so much, Ki Ja.
You're leaving?
We should have some of the kimchi with cooked rice.
I forgot that I have to go somewhere.
Thank you. I'll enjoy the kimchi.
But...
I really hate her guts.
I made her some kimchi which was a lot of work.
She should at least help clean up.
She doesn't charge me much rent,
so she takes me for a slave.
Darn her.
It's my fault for not having much money.
Hang on.
Didn't she say the chairman's mother likes Korean lettuce kimchi?
Yes.
I should do something for Sa Ra's sake.
I shouldn't waste time.
That's just the thing.
My gosh.
Darn it.
My gosh. What's all this?
It's pickled garlic...
and Korean lettuce kimchi that I made myself.
Goodness. We're having a feast...
of Korean lettuce kimchi today.
A feast of Korean lettuce kimchi?
Ms. Jang brought some over...
for Ms. Wang to enjoy.
- Which Ms. Jang? - Gosh, you're hilarious.
Who might this be?
She's Ms. Cho's mother.
Hello, my introduction is long overdue.
She brought over some Korean lettuce kimchi for you.
My gosh. Ms. Jang brought some for me too.
Ki Ja, I already brought some over, you know.
You didn't have to go through all this trouble.
That's right. You mentioned that you were friends.
Anyway, I'm grateful. I'll enjoy it.
Ms. Yeoju, it's not every day that she comes by,
so offer her some tea...
so that she can wait for Ms. Cho.
Yes, Ms. Wang.
Ms. Jang, please come by often.
Maybe Professor Jang can accompany you next time.
Hold on. What if we include Young Guk...
and go somewhere nice for a meal?
A meal?
Why don't I set something up for us?
Okay.
You should head back inside then.
I won't walk you out, but please get home safely.
Sure.
Then...
- Take care. - You too.
Ki Ja,
I'll get going.
I can't believe I ran into her at that exact moment!
You, Jang Mi Sook!
Don't you move.
Are you leaving already?
I thought you were here to see Sa Ra.
- Get in then. I'll drive you. - You.
You got all sweet with me so that I would...
make Korean lettuce kimchi for you.
Was it to bring it over here?
What?
So what if I did?
How could you do this to me?
How can you bring over the kimchi...
I worked my butt off to make?
You gave it to me,
so I can do whatever I want with it.
There's no need to be so touchy.
I did it for Guk Hee.
I need to lay a bridge between her and Young Guk.
- Exactly! - My gosh.
Why did you have to use...
the kimchi I made for something like this?
- Goodness. - If I had known beforehand,
I wouldn't have made it.
Never!
Ki Ja, what's with you today?
What's with me?
Do you really not know?
Don't you know why I'm being this way?
My Sa Ra is finally close...
to being in a relationship with Young Guk,
so why are you butting in?
Why are you ruining...
my daughter's chances?
My gosh. Are you saying...
that Sa Ra likes Young Guk?
Is that why you're being this way?
Yes.
So please, stop Guk Hee...
from getting in their way.
- Got it? - Ki Ja!
When have you ever mentioned Sa Ra's feelings for him?
All this time, I've been telling you my intentions.
You know how hard I've been trying...
to get Guk Hee to date Young Guk.
But did you take that information...
and scheme behind my back?
You sure are a scary one.
How can you stab me in the back like this?
I don't think I can stand to see you on a daily basis anymore.
Unbelievable!
What did she just say?
Wait. Is that her way of telling me to move out?
What the...
Fine. I'll move out.
It's not like I don't have anywhere else to go.
Darn it.
Mom.
What are you doing here?
Sa Ra...
Mom, what's wrong?
Sa Ra!
Goodness, Sa Ra...
What's the matter?
Oh, no. Sa Ra!
Sa Ra and Young Guk?
I had my suspicions, but...
You know how a hunch can turn out to be true.
Talk about a massive betrayal.
I've been telling her everything about my life...
from start to finish,
but she has been keeping not only half...
but at least 70 percent of her life from me.
One can only wonder what else she's been cooking up.
How conniving of her.
Did Ki Ja really say that Sa Ra and Young Guk...
were close to being in a relationship?
That's exactly what she said.
So what will it be this time?
If Sa Ra manages to get Young Guk,
will you leave the country just to run away again?
You only live life once.
Whatever the outcome is, give yourself an ending this time.
If not, give up on him all together.
- Mom! - Se Jong!
Ms. Park!
Ms. Park.
(Letter of Resignation)
Mr. Park?
Gosh. Mr. Park, are you quitting?
Why on earth would you do that?
I apologize, Ms. Wang.
I'm afraid it's due to personal reasons.
Personal reasons?
What may that be? Just tell me.
Well...
How can you quit when it hasn't even been a month?
What's wrong? Is the salary not enough?
I'll have Chairman Lee give you a raise.
Just stay with us.
No, that's not it.
I'm truly sorry.
Unbelievable.
What else can I say...
when you won't even accept a pay raise?
All right. I'll notify the chairman.
I'm truly sorry about this.
Didn't he tell you why he's quitting?
He didn't. All he said was that it was due to personal reasons.
I guess I was wrong about him.
All right. We need to find his replacement,
so ask him to stay on board until we do.
Yes, sir.
What is it? Were you not done?
What should we do for the memorial rite...
on your late wife's second death anniversary?
She requested that we simplify it...
with some tea and snacks after two years.
Just...
do what we did last year.
Yes, of course.
Dad, we agreed to sit on it for a few days.
What's there to think about?
It's better to sort things out as soon as possible.
Dan Dan, there's no need to worry about me.
How can I not?
You have nowhere to do.
I told you not to worry.
Of course I have a place to go.
It's me...
who can't stand seeing you move from one couch to the next.
Just know that my resignation was accepted.
All right.
Until you find a job,
I'll help with living expenses with what I make.
I'm sorry, Dad.
You and your nonsense again.
Things aren't that tight for me.
Besides, I agreed to stay until they find my replacement,
so I have some time to find a place to stay.
There's no need to worry.
Let's be cautious around each other until I move out though.
And do a good job.
Be good to the kids...
so that Chairman Lee learns to trust you.
Got it.
Head back inside before someone sees you.
Jae Ni!
Lee Jae Ni!
Dad, I need to head inside. We'll talk later.
Sure.
Taking care of kids isn't an easy job.
What on earth? Why are you barging into my room?
Who said you could come in?
What do you think you're doing?
Jae Ni, what's with this bruise?
Tell me what's going on.
As if it's any of your business. Get out of my room!
Tell me who did this to you!
I want the truth.
If you don't tell me right away,
I'll have no choice but to notify the chairman.
No, don't.
Then out with it.
Why are you doing this to me?
Hey.
Are you the brats giving my Jae Ni a hard time?
All of you. Get over here.
Who are you to order us around?
Me? I'm Jae Ni's sister.
Jae Ni, talk about being even more annoying.
This will only up the fee you must pay.
The fee?
While I ask nicely,
give back the money you took from her.
Also, make an official apology,
and I will let this slide.
What a joke.
Who are you to let this slide?
Do you have a death wish?
Hey!
Let go of me, darn it.
Sure. Will do.
Hey! You crazy cow!
You!
Guys, hurry!
You!
Take this!
If you guys...
ever bully Jae Ni again,
you'll see much worse.
Apologize to her this instant.
Don't you want to go home?
- Jae Ni, we're sorry. - Jae Ni, we're sorry.
- We won't do this again. - We won't do this again.
Don't you forget that Jae Ni has me...
in her corner.
Jae Ni, let's go.
You only live life once.
Whatever the outcome is, give yourself an ending this time.
If not, give up on him all together.
Hey, Lawyer Ko.
Young Guk's where?
- Hey. - Guk Hee, I'm sorry.
I have to be at my in-laws'.
Could you watch out for him?
Sure.
Young Ae's death anniversary pulled him back to his old habits.
I got it. I'll take care of him, so don't worry.
I'm worried, you know.
It's about time he got his act together...
at least for his children's sake.
I'll get going then. Look after him for me.
Sure. Get going.
Young Guk,
how long will you keep this up?
Young Ae is probably watching over you...
in despair.
Would she really be...
watching over me?
Guk Hee.
What happens after death?
Do our souls...
get placed...
on another planet?
As a professor, you would know.
Young Guk,
how about you date someone new?
You know how...
it takes love to heal a broken heart.
The kids need a mother too.
If you're going to say silly things, just stick to drinking.
Young Guk.
I...
like you.
If you're okay with it,
I'd like to be by your side.
What are you talking about?
Guk Hee.
We're friends.
Do you not have...
any feelings for me at all?
To me, you're...
a good friend.
You always have been,
you still are,
and you will continue to be one.
I see.
I get it.
Let's just drink. Okay?
(Pork belly, beef entrails)
Ms. Wang...
gave me the cold shoulder when I carried that heavy kimchi...
to her house.
And my friend looks down on me...
because I'm a penniless widow.
You should never let...
Guk Hee, of all people, have Chairman Lee.
Never!
Excuse me. One more bottle of soju, please.
Okay.
Coming right up.
By the way, why are you drinking so much?
Have you ever had...
a crush on someone?
What? Why would I?
It's just petty.
I'll leave that pettiness for someone else to worry about.
Gosh.
You're right.
It's just petty.
Why would I do such a thing?
Don't get off.
You didn't have to.
Guk Hee.
Thank you for today.
You are...
a really good friend.
Hey.
Do you know how many times you said that tonight?
Go home.
Okay. I'll see you again, friend.
Guk Hee.
Sa Ra, it's you.
You really are...
unbelievable.
What? What do you mean?
I told you not to call out Chairman Lee late at night.
I even went to your office to tell you that.
Am I a joke to you?
I can't believe this.
Hey. Do you think I'm a pushover?
I think I told you that you were overreacting.
You're being so rude.
You watch me from afar and block my way.
Oh, right.
I get it.
I heard you have a crush on Young Guk.
Is that what this is about? Because you like him?
Yes, Guk Hee.
I have feelings for Chairman Lee.
So, Guk Hee,
don't get between me and Chairman Lee.
Don't go out to drink with him...
late at night like this.
Don't let it happen again.
Hey, Cho Sa Ra.
Pull yourself together.
Young Guk is not interested in any woman.
He still hasn't gotten over losing Young Ae.
Do you think he will even care that you're acting this way?
Gosh.
No way.
So stop dreaming and get real.
Understand?
I didn't ask you to worry about me.
Don't use your friendship as an excuse...
to insert yourself in Chairman Lee's life.
How dare you grab me?
How dare you? Get off me!
Let go of me.
You wench!
- Let go. - Hey, stop it.
- You darn wench. - Hey.
What are they doing? Stop it.
- Hey. - Why are you stopping me?
I can't believe this.
I've never had my hair pulled out like that before.
My goodness. This is ridiculous.
How dare she?
But, Guk Hee, you seem just fine.
Why are you crying?
This is nothing to cry over.
Mi Sook. You know what?
I'm done...
with Young Guk.
What?
What do you mean?
Like you said,
I met Young Guk.
And I told him how I felt about him.
What?
But...
He said no?
Yes.
He says...
Young Guk says...
I'm just a good friend.
Mi Sook.
My goodness.
He doesn't even know how lucky he is.
What a fool. A cold-hearted fool.
He even has three children.
Forget about him!
I know. He's such a fool, right?
So you should forget...
all about that fool, okay?
Don't have any lingering feelings. Got it?
Okay. I won't.
Stop it. Why are you crying?
- Mi Sook. - My goodness.
I told you to stop crying.
Don't cry. It's okay.
I'm so upset.
- It's all right. - I'm so sad.
Guk Hee, don't cry.
Is that true?
I just heard it myself.
I guess Chairman Lee Young Guk turned Guk Hee down.
Isn't that a good thing?
Why? Aren't you happy?
Mom.
Guk Hee isn't the problem.
Chairman Lee...
is still not over his late wife.
But she's already dead.
The dead can never beat the living.
Yes!
You win! Okay?
You're right.
Young Guk.
Once I die,
just spend one year...
thinking of me.
Then forget all about me.
And be brave...
and cheerful again like you used to be.
And meet someone new.
- Young Ae. - That way,
I think I can rest in peace.
Promise me.
I promise.
Young Ae.
Honey.
Jae Ni,
Se Chan,
and Se Jong's mom.
Goodbye.
Don't worry about us.
Mr. Park, get the car. I'll be late.
Yes, ma'am.
Are you going somewhere, Ms. Wang?
I was invited to a fashion show, so I should go.
Do your best, Ms. Yeoju.
Hire some help if you need to, okay?
I will.
Ms. Park, you should give Ms. Yeoju a hand today.
Oh, okay.
See you later.
It's just not fair.
How can she take Mr. Park on such a busy day?
What day is it?
It's the second death anniversary of the chairman's late wife.
Death anniversary?
It looks like she'll be served food made by perfect strangers.
Darn it.
The late madam would be 39 if she were still alive.
She died so young, when she was just 37.
It must've been hard on the kids,
but also on the chairman.
You bet it was.
They got married because it was love at first sight.
I see.
The day the chairman started work after he left the military,
he met and fell in love with his wife who was a new hire.
That's so romantic.
But she had lost her mother young and was practically an orphan.
Ms. Wang would never have approved if he were her real son.
But he isn't, so she gave in and let them marry.
She was really good friends with Ms. Cho who works here.
Ms. Yeoju!
Why would you share such gossip?
Can't you tell what to say and what not to?
I think sharing that much is fine.
Ms. Park is now a member of the family.
Shouldn't she know that...
to be able to care for the kids better?
Also, am I a child?
Why are you always nagging?
I should really vent it out one day.
I really hate her.
What happened? Where are all my mom's things?
Ms. Yeoju!
What is it, Jae Ni?
Ms. Yeoju. Who put away Mom's photos?
I did put them away but...
Why would you put them away?
What right do you have to do that?
I didn't do it because I wanted to.
Your father... The chairman told me to.
What? Is that true?
Lee Jae Ni. What's this about?
How dare you shout at Ms. Yeoju?
Did you tell her to put away Mom's photos?
Did you?
Yes. She died two years ago.
- Let her rest in peace... - How could you do this?
Who are you to move her things? Why did you put them away?
It has been only two years now.
Are you seeing someone? Is that why?
Lee Jae Ni.
How dare you say that?
My mom isn't dead. She's not dead!
My gosh, Jae Ni.
Don't do this on her death anniversary.
You'll scare her off before she gets to eat.
I will never forgive you.
My goodness.
Dad. What have you done?
Don't you think it's too much?
Mom...
I hate you, Dad!
I hate you, Dad.
My gosh.
What a dreadful day this is.
Oh, dear...
Mom.
I feel so sorry for them.
The kids want to feel their mother's presence.
This won't do. I should marry him off soon.
It takes someone new to forget someone.
Won't they feel better if they have a stepmom?
They might if their stepmom is a nice person.
But can the chairman get over her?
Why can't he? Everyone does.
Why would you cling to a dead person when life is so great?
Ms. Wang, would you like some green tea?
Yes. The jeon I've been snacking on is too greasy.
I can't live without you, Ms. Cho.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Oh, goodness.
What's this?
Ms. Yeoju, this needs more salt. It's too bland.
The food must be seasoned properly.
You can't just throw the ingredients together.
Oh, I feel much better. Much better.
- Drink it slowly. - Okay.
Is there any jeon?
I want yukjeon.
What got into you?
You ask for too much.
The chairman is still young.
I wonder who will become his next wife.
I'm so jealous.
He's rich and very competent.
He could marry a single woman.
As if he could.
He has three kids.
So what? He's rich.
So what if he's rich?
If it were you,
would you let your daughter marry a single dad of three?
Don't say that to anyone. You'll get chewed out.
Mom, I'm home. What is it?
Why are you so late?
Why is the house so frigid?
It's like someone died. What's wrong?
My gosh. Don't even ask.
Jae Ni threw a fit because her mom's things were gone.
He got rid of her photos around the house?
Yes, I didn't know, but apparently, he had them put away.
It's been two years, so it's about time.
But then Jae Ni yelled at her dad...
for getting rid of the photos and accused him of dating someone.
You should've seen how scary she was.
- Jae Ni said that? - Yes.
I honestly don't think I can take the ruckus anymore.
Are you thinking about moving out?
As if I'd be that insane.
I wouldn't dare to move out.
Not until you get married...
and get your share of the company.
By the way, when will you introduce me...
to the son of Miso Steel's CEO?
I'm dying to meet him.
Be patient, Mom.
Rushing things will only ruin my chances.
You cunning girl. I hear you loud and clear.
Jae Ni is gone. I can't find her anywhere.
Wait. What on earth is she saying?
What do you mean Jae Ni is gone?
I was with Se Jong, trying to calm him down.
She's not on the second floor.
Did no one see Jae Ni leave the house?
I was with Ms. Yeoju in the kitchen preparing the food.
She left her phone on her desk.
What?
I'll look for her outside.
I'll look for her outside as well,
so call me if she comes back.
What on earth is going on?
Jae Ni?
(Limited to 2 people)
Jae Ni!
Jae Ni?
Jae Ni!
Lee Jae Ni.
Jae Ni!
Jae Ni?
Lee Jae Ni!
Jae Ni!
Jae Ni?
Ms. Park, you still haven't found her, right?
Where did you look?
I went to the coin karaoke at the intersection downtown,
the Internet cafe, shopping center, and street food diner,
but she wasn't there.
Where could she be?
Mr. Lee, do you know her friends' phone numbers?
No.
I don't know.
Not even one of them?
Where does she like to spend time?
I have...
no clue.
Then what about her do you know?
Do you even care about her?
Can you even call yourself her father?
Mr. Lee,
children get heartbroken too, and they also have emotions.
You're an adult,
but they are kids who have lost their mother.
So how can you not consider them?
Do they exist just so that you can receive reports?
Is receiving reports all you need to do as a dad?
Do you have any idea how rough it is for them?
Se Jong cries every night because he misses his mom.
And what about Jae Ni?
Are you aware of all the bruises on her body?
Bruises?
What do you mean by that?
Ms. Park, tell me right away.
Well...
I can't tell you.
I promised Jae Ni that I wouldn't.
I feel so bad for the children...
Ms. Park,
tell me right now!
It's just that Jae Ni...
Jae Ni!
Jae Ni?
Lee Jae Ni.
Jae Ni, stop right there.
- Jae Ni! - We need to talk.
- Jae Ni. - I hate you, Dad. Let me go.
What... What on earth?
Explain this.
Who did this to you?
Tell me!
Dad...
Kids have been bullying me.
I was being bullied.
I'd come home with dirt on my skirt...
and with rips and tears all over,
but no one in the house noticed it.
Only...
Only Ms. Park noticed and saved me from them.
Then...
why didn't you tell me?
Dad...
I'm sorry.
I should've known...
what you were going through emotionally...
and noticed how hard it's been for you.
Jae Ni,
I was hoping...
to let your mother...
rest in peace and not worry about us.
That's why I put her things away.
I'm sorry...
for not telling you sooner.
Dad...
My gosh.
Jae Ni, Se Chan, Se Jong,
let's tell your mom that...
she should not worry about us and rest in peace.
Let's bow.
Mom...
Then what about her do you know?
Do you even care about her?
Can you even call yourself her father?
Do they exist just so that you can receive reports?
Is receiving reports all you need to do as a dad?
Park Dan Dan, what have you done?
How insane are you?
Who are you to tell him off like that?
I'm doomed.
What do I do now?
Seriously...
Ms. Park.
I'd like a word with you.
With me?
(Young Lady and Gentleman)
Dad, you always do whatever you want.
You never listen to me.
- You're a narrow-minded dictator! - What?
Ms. Park, what on earth...
- are you doing here with Se Jong? - I hate you!
I'd like your help, Ms. Park.
My help? With what?
You seem quite slow on picking things up, being young and all.
But report back to me as well on everything regarding the children.
- Honey. - This isn't your house, you know.
You can't come and go as you please.
Don't you smell ramyeon?
That's ridiculous.
Is someone in here?
Unit 101 of my building was put on the market?
Where in Seoul do you expect to find a place to stay?
Just because you have money...
doesn't mean you can act high and mighty.
Darn you.
- Hi, how have you been? - Sa Ra?
Sa Ra, open this door.
Se Jong was adopted?
Ms. Yeoju, are you out of your mind?
