[Episode 18]
How do they know each other?
What's their relationship?
They didn't attend the same college.
How could she possibly know him when he was abroad for 3 years?
Or have they known each other for a long time?
Is that true?
I can't guarantee they'll hire you 100 percent.
I happened to know about the dietitian job opening, so I submitted your resume.
Is it okay that I submitted it without your permission?
Of course.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
No pressure please.
It's too early to thank me.
I'm thankful for your concern, not just for the job opportunity.
I know it isn't easy to mind other people's business.
The truth is I don't like their menu.
If you're hired, you can make whatever I want to eat, right?
That's for sure.
I should at least do that for my savior.
I feel full already.
Thank you so much for caring about me in many ways.
I don't know how I can pay you back for all your kindness.
Hey, of course you should.
You owe me your life and your career.
Right. I'll take good care of you as my lifetime benefactor.
Don't forget that promise.
I think I should go.
Sorry that I didn't treat you with anything when you came this far.
Today isn't the only day.
When you're hired, treat me.
Hope you won't have to be disappointed after a high expectation.
Good night.
What?
Seems they are very close.
I really can't figure it out.
Who's that good-looking man?
Just a casual acquaintance.
You're back.
Yes.
How come I didn't see your father all day? Maybe his work is delayed?
Mr. Khang also complained that he couldn't get a hold of him.
Call him and find out where he is.
Okay.
Fortunately, there was a doctor at the health center.
How do you feel?
I'll get better now since I took medicine.
You're driving me crazy.
Why did you have to get the runs to end up missing the ferry?
I didn't mean to.
Are you sure it wasn't on purpose?
What do you mean?
Didn't you miss the ferry on purpose to spend a night with me?
Who do you think I am that you keep saying that?
I'm not such a lowlife.
I've remained faithful to my dead wife for 30 years.
I have fantasies of true love.
I'm not a person to cheat someone to spend a night with her.
I was just saying. Why are you so upset?
Your jokes can kill me, you know.
It's my home.
What should I do?
Hello?
It's me, Dad.
Hi, Chaewon.
Your daughter?
I'll be late today, so don't wait for me and just go to bed.
Yes. Yes. The work is delayed. Yes.
Bye.
Why did you say you'll be late? There's no ferry to take us home.
I am a father. I can't tell my daughter that I'll sleep out.
Why does he keep calling me? So annoying.
Why do you keep calling me?
That's not the right manner to answer the phone.
I'm a patient but you abandoned me all day long!
Did you call me to complain?
I'm in a serious condition.
I think I have brain damage, too.
Strange thoughts keep coming to my head.
I'm mentally unstable.
I think I'm suffering depression!
I'm busy. Cut the crap. I'll hang up.
Hello? Hello?
She's such...! I'm gonna tell on them to Mom.
Nuts.
You must've gone nuts!
Why do you keep thinking of her?
Poor Jean... Never married for 60 years...
You're gonna meet your fate at the lonely rooftop house.
Oh, this room is nice and warm.
Please, sit.
So poor in health.
Why did he have to get the runs at that moment?
I didn't want it either. It's a natural physiological phenomenon.
Then did we fall into the ditch by accident, too?
Are you saying I fell into it on purpose?
Why are you getting mad?
I'm not. I just feel offended since you keep treating me like some wolf.
Ha. You're really odd.
When did I treat you like a wolf?
If I was wrong, I'm sorry.
You take a shower first.
Why would I take a shower? Why?
Sorry?
What do you mean by telling me to take a shower?
Unless you have indecent desires, why would you tell me to wash first?
You look tired. So I'm just saying you can take a shower first and go to bed.
Did I say something wrong?
Was that what you meant?
What are you getting at?
You misunderstand me no matter what I say.
YOU are fishy.
Fishy?
Are you saying I'm trying to make a move on you?
If not, fine.
My. You're being ridiculous.
Was I too much?
Tomorrow?
Of course we can make time. Why yes!
Again,
if they get married, I'll reward you big time.
So please do your best. Yes. Yes.
Thank you!
See you tomorrow at the hotel. Good bye.
Cholgyu has another blind date?
Yes.
With whom?
Taesan owner's youngest daughter.
Really?
Yes. See, I told you.
There are plenty of women in the world.
Since that vixen left, a perfect woman is coming to our family.
Will Cholgyu marry her?
He fell out of love with Chaewon a long time ago.
Wow! Now everything has returned to normal.
Taesan? My mom is amazing.
You don't deserve to...
...have my love.
Fine, if you think I'm that terrible,
I'll forget you.
I'll completely forget you.
Son!
Son! My son!
What?
You can have it tomorrow!
Have what?
Of course, a blind date.
I just got a call from Ms. Koh.
She said the lady wants to see you tomorrow.
Judging by her immediate date request,
I think you caught her fancy. Don't you think so?
You must keep the appointment tomorrow.
If you go into hiding again, you can't see me ever again.
Okay.
That's my boy.
Thanks. Thanks, Cholgyu.
Wait. This is no time to remain idle.
I need to get a massage and pick out what to wear.
Are you coming with me?
They aren't a distinguished family for nothing.
The two families' mothers are asked to be present as well.
To become in-laws with someone I could only see on TV...
It feels like a dream.
She's all happy.
Seems you've decided to get over that vixen, huh?
Stop calling her "vixen"!
Why are you taking it out on me?
Have you ever heard of her friend working at my company?
What do you mean?
Doesn't she have any close guy friends?
Did you hear something about Chaewon?
Never mind.
You'll only make matters worse.
I'm home.
When did you come? I didn't hear the door chime.
Just now. What are you doing?
Looking at the album.
Why the old photos all of a sudden?
After you go to work, I sometimes look at these albums.
I think that was the best time in my life.
When I embraced you in my bosom,
I had no fears and I felt like the whole world was mine.
Is something wrong? You seem different than usual.
No. There's nothing wrong.
Go get changed. You must be hungry.
Yes.
She wants to meet you, so I called you on her behalf.
Could you please pay her a visit?
Thank you so much for caring about me in many ways.
I'll take good care of you as my lifetime benefactor.
I hope she passes the interview.
If she fails, I'll lose my face. I'm nervous.
Know noodles by feeling them, not by tasting them.
If you can estimate the taste of noodles by their touch,
you'll become a true noodle expert.
Yes, Grandpa.
They are all rubbish.
It's garbage, not noodles.
It's no wonder since their main concern is money.
I wish you'd take over my noodle factory.
If you keep saying that, they'll be sad. So please stop saying that.
They even quit their jobs and came here to succeed the family business.
If you keep saying that, they'll lose courage.
I'm not a fool.
They're not interested in the family business.
They're interested in $10 million.
Give them time.
They'll improve little by little.
Yeah, I hope so.
But somehow, I'm getting impatient.
I think we are last in the race.
Keechoon and Gangsook grew up around the market place.
They are quick in handling things.
I know.
Also, Keeok is doing better than expected.
I thought she was a rookie but she seems very skillful.
What should we do?
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Don't jump to conclusions.
Can't believe I'm making noodles in this remote rural area.
I'm getting so depressed but I'm barely holding out for $10 million.
This physical labor isn't easy for me either.
We must win the $10 million by all means.
Right but... It won't be easy though.
We only had the first round of competition. Cheer up.
We will win the $10 million by all means.
Let's toast to the successful first round!
Cheers!
It's safe to say we're the winner of the first round, right?
No hasty conclusion.
Father said,
"Noodles made of nice dough will only be chunks of flour if they don't dry well."
"Make sure to check everything."
Exactly.
Anyways, it's apparent that we're the winners today.
Good job, honey.
I didn't know you're this gorgeous and reliable.
Let's toast to that.
Okay.
It's Hyodong.
Yes, Hyodong.
I'm in a fix now.
In a fix?
This is a man-to-man talk.
Don't tell this to any other family members.
Um, okay.
Sure.
Hold on a sec.
I took a drive with Ms. Yang to Sokmo Island.
But we missed the last ferry due to my diarrhea.
Oh, really?
We had sashimi for lunch, and I think it went bad. So...
Oh, Hyodong. You don't have to make excuses to me.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Make it a hot night.
Don't get burned though.
What are you talking about? It's not like that.
Okay, okay. Don't worry about anything and just come tomorrow.
Bye.
Love late in life is fearless. Seems he's making rapid progress.
I should support him then.
What are you doing here?
Really?
Let's cover him up as fellow men.
He's been lonely for so long.
Yes but... Why does it have to be her?
What are you saying?
She's stylish and cool. I like her.
Is Hyodong home yet?
Hey.
What's wrong with you?
Sleep here just for tonight.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Hyodong has a cold so I bought him cold medicine.
He has a cold?
Hyodong.
Mom.
He just fell asleep after taking medicine. Don't wake him up.
Let him sleep. Come out.
How sick is he?
Come on. Come out.
What's wrong with you?
Gosh.
Choonhee, I was too harsh earlier.
I'm sorry. Please stop being mad and come out.
Let's have coffee.
Seems she's really upset.
Choonhee, I'm coming in.
Fell asleep already?
She looks so beautiful even when she's sleeping.
Like an angel sent from Heaven.
Her feet are so small!
Choonhee, I'm happy I can wash your socks.
I didn't tell this to Seyoon since I thought we'd never meet again.
But should I tell him about the relation between Juri and I?
Did you see the guy?
I'm sorry?
The guy who was with me just now.
Yes.
- What do you think? - About what?
He'll become our family member. How did he strike you?
Right. She clearly saw me with him that day.
Wait.
When she knew I had feelings for him, she feigned ignorance?
What the heck is she up to?
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Morning.
What is that?
Hyodong caught a cold, so I'll give him boiled pear in honey.
Oh.
- Stop. - Stop!
Mother, wait!
Hyodong, get up.
Try some boiled pear in honey.
Hyodong?
- Hold on, Mother. - Wait...
It's me, Mom.
Good gracious. Who is this?
Ms. Yang, open the door.
I'm so hungry. Wake up and prepare breakfast!
Anyone there?
Where the heck is she bumming around since yesterday?
Mom, what brings you here this early?
That vixen! Where the heck is she?
I don't think she's there.
By the way, why are you looking for her in the morning?
Don't follow me. Just go home.
That vixen!
Uh oh. Big trouble.
Go home before your family members get up.
Damn you!
What's wrong with you?
Mother, please calm down.
Calm down. Don't do this.
You wicked wench!
I told you enough to stay away from my son-in-law.
But you dared to lure him away?
You thought you'd be fine after doing this?
Let go of me and please talk!
Just shut up. I'll finish you today!
Mother, she didn't lure me away.
She didn't do anything wrong.
Right. It takes two to tango.
You can't only blame her.
Are you okay?
Did you just side with her?
How could you do this to me?
I've regarded you as my own son. How could you do this to me?
Mother...
How could you? Even if the whole world disappoints me, you can't.
Mom, calm down.
I'm here for you.
- Shut up! - Ow!
The shame of it.
Choonhee! Choonhee!
I've lived too long. My daughter, take me to where you are.
I want to go to you.
Mother, please calm down.
I think my arm is broken again.
Call 911! Hurry!
Cholgyu!
Why are you still in bed? Hurry, get ready.
People might think you have a date today.
Are you that happy?
Of course.
A marriage with Taesan... I can't believe this is for real.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Don't whistle until you're out of the woods.
Even if I might be disappointed later, I'll have high expectations.
Alright. Do as you like.
Can I choose a tie for you?
A loud color will look out of style and a monotone tie will look stiff.
Alright. I like anything and everything as long as you like it.
That's my boy!
I feel like I finally got my son back! Oh, how exciting.
I'll choose one for you.
What would be good?
Why is your face swollen?
I had many thoughts so I couldn't sleep.
You have problems, right? He has a new girlfriend, right?
I said no!
Then why isn't there any progress?
I told you to bring him home but why can't you?
Stop bugging me.
Aren't you having breakfast?
No!
My.
Something smells fishy.
A morning coffee for you.
Thanks.
Smells good.
You seem to be in a good mood.
Do I?
Yes. Any good news?
Good news? Well, not really.
You had to meet someone urgently yesterday. Did it go well?
Huh? Yes.
What was it about? Why did you leave in haste?
It's just...about work.
How is she?
She took medicine. She'll be alright.
Don't worry too much.
I have no face to see you. I told you a lie.
Such white lies are always welcome.
Chaewon.
I hated seeing you getting old and lonely.
So I'm very happy that you found love.
Do you mean it?
Of course. As long as you like her, I like her too.
Cheer up!
I feel reassured with your support.
In trust is treason...
How could Hyodong deceive me and sleep out with her?
The moment I saw her,
I didn't like her. So I kept a close watch on her.
But how could this happen to me?
Don't you think you're being selfish?
Selfish?
It's been awhile since my sister died.
We should thank him for remaining faithful until now.
You can't ask him to support you his whole life.
How dare!
You cheated your own mother. Such a bad son.
Hyodong.
I'm sorry to have caused you worries, Father and Mother.
I never dreamed that you'd fool around with that vixen.
Mother, please calm down.
Your blood pressure might go up again.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
Your mother-in-law is being unreasonable.
Don't be mindful.
Unreasonable?
I'm only trying to guild him onto the right path.
Mom, stop.
I really can't believe this.
Hyodong, are you really in love with her?
Oh, Keeok. Mother caught the scene.
Strictly speaking, that's not a scene.
Don't nitpick.
The facts speak for themselves.
You're disturbing me. Get out. I hate the very sight of you!
You can use it now. The number is the same.
Thank you.
Hello?
Is this Ms. Chaewon Minn?
Yes, this is she.
I'm calling after going over your resume.
Oh, yes.
The interview is today at eleven. Please be on time.
Loosen up that scowl.
You look like a lamb going to the slaughter.
Alright.
Square up your shoulders.
Did you bring me here to sell me?
Your date is the daughter of Taesan.
If we become in-laws with Taesan, we'll become a royal family, okay?
Royal family. Sounds good.
Why, yes.
This is the chance of a lifetime.
Answer clearly to their questions.
Don't feel intimidated, okay?
Okay.
Let's go.
I'm sorry to have you kept waiting.
We just arrived. Please, have a seat.
I'll introduce you to each other.
Let me introduce the bride side first.
This is Mrs. Ma.
And this is her youngest daughter, Ms. Hongju Ma.
Glad to meet you.
Glad to meet you, too.
I think your daughter is modest and shy.
Yes. She's very shy and reserved.
She's very feminine.
She'll make a good wife and a wise mother.
I think so.
She appears to be well-bred.
She looks graceful and elegant, just like her mother.
You're generous with your compliments.
Let's leave after having tea so that the young couple can talk.
Then I'd better order something cold.
I'll have a fruit juice.
Is something on the floor?
You're normal.
I thought you might look like this since you kept gazing at the floor.
And your voice is normal, too.
The 14th time in this month including this.
What is the 14th time?
The blind date.
Same questions and same answers.
I was bored so I was drifting in thoughts.
What do you think about in this situation?
This and that.
Just useless stuff.
Too bad.
I think you'll have another blind date this month.
Seems you're not interested and was forced by your mother.
Same here. I'm tired of it.
Let's stop wasting time and part here.
Excuse me for leaving first.
But I'm interested.
I'm interested in you. You're not?
I felt like marrying you just now.
Ha. If you want to marry me, do I have to marry you?
As long as I like you, yes.
Who do you think I am?
Excuse me. I came for a job interview.
Which floor is the Human Resources Dept?
Long time no see.
Juri.
I need to talk to you.
What's wrong with you? Let go of me and talk.
What are you up to?
What do you mean?
Don't feign ignorance. I know everything.
What's your relationship with Seyoon?
Why did you feign ignorance when you knew my feelings for him?
I couldn't bring it up in that circumstance.
Don't beat around the bush.
Tell me exactly what situation you're in!
You know your mother framed me as an adulteress for the divorce, right?
What does it have to do with this?
It was Seyoon...
whom she set me up with.
What?
I guess she didn't know you're interested in him,
seeing that she got him involved with me to frame me.
Nonsense.
If you can't believe me, ask your mother.
Then you're saying my mom and Seyoon know each other?
Cholgyu knows him, too.
They even fought.
What?
I couldn't decide whether to tell you this or not,
but now that you found out, I feel relieved.
You have several licenses.
Oh. You worked for Golden Dragon Foods.
What were your job duties there?
I worked in the New Product Development Team.
You quit the company in 6 months. The reason?
I got married so I quit.
You have no experience as a dietitian. Can you work as a dietitian?
I've had a lot of work experience in college.
Also, I worked as a temporary dietitian at Golden Dragon Foods.
This is not good.
We'd better limit the interview time.
She'll be exhausted from the interview.
What?
She's gonna leave without even calling me?
Mr. Seyoon Yi.
What are you doing here?
I came for a job interview.
Oh, the job interview. Was it today?
Yes.
I see. How did it go?
I think I talked incoherently. I'm a bit worried.
Oh.
I'll see you next time.
Hey.
How come you're so cold?
You can't just leave without buying me coffee when I helped you find a job.
I don't want to take your time when you're at work.
What if your boss catches you goofing around?
I can make 10 minutes out.
And I'm not a newbie.
Alright then. I'll buy you coffee.
Excuse me.
Yes.
Come to my office.
Yes, sir.
Sorry, my boss is looking for me.
I'm okay. Get going.
Hope you get good news.
I shouldn't have listened to you.
If I had told her the truth last night, she wouldn't be this upset.
Hyodong isn't a monk. He's a man in heat.
Mom is not right to act like that.
If I were Hyodong, I couldn't live. Could you?
You'll see when you become as old as I am.
Where are you going?
You don't need to know.
We have work to do.
Mother is lying sick in bed. Work isn't important right now.
Sons are useless.
How could they be so laidback in this situation?
We have no time to waste.
Let's handle it without delay.
Yes, Dohee.
Where are they going?
What's this warlike vibe I'm getting?
His family must be all topsy-turvy.
I wonder if Hyodong is alright.
What now?
"What now?"
You really don't know?
I didn't like you since the other day.
Why are you talking down to me?
Are we supposed to use the honorific in this situation?
Our family is completely devastated and our mother lies sick in bed.
This is immoral.
How could you two-time between Hyodong and Mr. Khang?
Keeok, don't expect morals from a woman like her.
A woman like her? What do you mean?
In other words, a bar hostess.
What? A bar hostess?
You make a living by entertaining men.
Hey! Are you done?
How dare you raise your voice?
I know.
We want to solve the problem in peace, but she doesn't listen.
Hey, take it easy. Let's talk.
Ha.
One-to-three fight? Fine.
A gold digger like you needs to learn a lesson.
Gold digger?
Gold diggers are usually chits. You're simply an old witch.
Old witch? Are you done?
Alright!
Let's go at it.
Calm down. Let's talk.
Move over there. You'll get hurt.
Let go of me.
No, I won't. I can't.
Your mother-in-law pulled my hair this morning
and now her daughters-in-law. Am I some doorknob?
What do you think you're doing?
Come on! Make my day! Come on!
Wait! Ms. Yang, calm down.
Let's talk. Let's talk.
This is women's business. Stay out of it.
Please calm down and talk.
Stop bothering me!
Mr. Khang!
- Mr. Khang! - Rooftop Oppa.
Mr. Khang?
Seems he lost his consciousness.
Should we call 911?
Mr. Khang...
Hello?
Hyodong, it's me.
Hi, Keechoon. What's up?
I think our women went to Ms. Yang and used violence.
Her store fell into utter confusion and Mr. Khang was taken to a hospital.
It's a whole mess.
What?
What happened?
Aren't you hurt anywhere? Are you okay?
- Let me go. - Choonhee.
Taxi!
Where are you going? Can we talk?
Let go of me.
Dad.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
Where have you been?
I had a job interview.
Oh. Did it go well?
I don't know.
By the way, something happened?
Why do you look like that?
Oh, it's nothing.
Excuse me.
Can I ask you something?
I came to see the Director. Where can I find her?
She's not in now.
She's not in?
Her condition got worse this morning so she was taken to a hospital.
Is her condition serious?
Yes. She's seriously ill with pneumonia.
Oh, Choonhee.
What brings you here?
Did the Director ask you to come?
No. I just came.
What are you doing here?
I came to see the Director.
But she's taken to the hospital since her condition got worse this morning.
Hell will freeze over.
You hate anything related to the orphanage.
What a surprise that you miss her.
Don't be sarcastic.
I'm not. I'm really curious.
Sometimes, I feel extremely cold.
Then I would think of the past.
What brings you here?
I felt restless so...
Can we take a walk together?
Remember?
On the first day I came to the orphanage...
When my aunt left me and I was crying, you came to me and said,
"I came here last month. My name is Choonhee.
Let's be friends."
Do you still remember that?
Of course.
I was surprised since you were the most cheerful girl I had ever met.
That cheerful Choonhee is now weak and gets her hair pulled.
What do you mean pulled by your hair?
You don't need to know.
Solju.
I might go back to the U.S. as you wished.
Really?
How could you express your joy right in front of me?
Sorry, Choonhee. I meant...
It's okay. Though I was mad, I understand you.
We sure had rough and difficult old days.
I know I remind you of the old days. And you'll get depressed.
Yes, I can understand you.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I miss the old days since my current life is tough.
If I became a billionaire's wife like you,
I would also want to erase old memories.
I understand you.
Thank you for saying like that.
Then when will you go back?
I didn't make up my mind yet. I'm just thinking.
The business is slow and...
the homeland I came back to in 30 years isn't as warm as before.
Is that true?
Yes.
I think your son caught her fancy.
She kept turning down good catches, but this time, she okayed you.
I knew it.
The moment I saw her, I knew she was the one.
Cholgyu?
He'll be okay with her as long as I'm okay with her.
Mr. Kim came back.
My son just came back. I'll call you later.
Hurray! Hurray!
What happened?
Seems Ms. Ma really likes you.
Isn't she a nutcase?
Nutcase?
She's quite plucky. She's something.
What are you talking about? She looked quiet and well-mannered.
That's a show. She acted quite daring after you left.
Watch your language.
You'll become Mr. Ma's son-in-law.
Mom!
Hi, this is Juri Kim of the Marketing Department.
Did you have the final selection for the dietitian position?
Chaewon Minn?
Aside from your recommendation,
Ms. Minn impressed the interviewers favorably so she got a good score.
Good.
[Chaewon Minn]
You can call it a day. Thank you.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
This is Chaewon.
Hi, Chaewon. What is it?
I passed the interview.
I just got a call from them and I'm calling you first.
Really? That's good. Congrats.
It's all thanks to you. I will never forget your kindness.
Thank you. Thank you.
What's wrong? Why are you crying? What happened?
Leave me alone!
Guess I'm right.
He has a new girlfriend, doesn't he?
You're driving me crazy!
Why are you blaming me when I didn't do anything?
Didn't do anything? You ruined everything!
You're so!
Never mind! Leave me alone!
Ha. Now it's your turn?
Now that Cholgyu is calm, you're screwing me over.
I only have two kids, and they take turns screwing me over.
I'm gonna deal with that jerk tomorrow!
If you meet him, I'm gonna bite off my tongue.
Okay, okay, I won't meet him. I won't!
Think I can't meet him just because you tell me not to?
Congrats on your first day of work.
Seyoon.
Whew. You look great today.
It's my first day.
Let's go in.
Okay.
I came to see the Director.
Who shall I say you are?
Youngja Bhang of Golden Dragon Foods.
No, tell him Juri's mom wants to see him.
Okay.
Wait, they are...
Now they're dating together openly.
Mom?
This is nuts!
Why did she come here?
What brings them here?
Mom...
Oh no.
What should I do?

Seems he found you a job.
Lucky you!
Mr. Seyoon Yi.
Is he the man you talked about?
Why did you lie to me?
Why does it matter that I'm the Director?
How could you rain on my parade?
It'll be difficult to make it up.
Hyodong is not your son.
So you mean since he's not my son, I have no right to power over him?
Since you are getting overly involved in everything,
your daughter-in-laws are like game cocks.
Game cocks?
I'll find you another job. Quit the company today.
What?
