[Episode 20]
Why are you giving this to me?
Quit your work today.
What are you afraid of that you're giving me this money?
Afraid? I have nothing to be afraid of.
Juri can't concentrate on her work because of you. That's why.
Who's that? Isn't that Juri's mother?
I guess you want to buy my silence.
I'm sorry but this isn't enough.
Did you count how many digits there are?
Six digits. It's $500,000.
Five hundred thousand dollars?
Only $500,000 to stop my mouth?
I'll think about it if you give me $5 million.
Otherwise, I won't quit!
Ms. Bhang?
What happened?
They say men are most ungrateful.
I wish I didn't live this long to see this.
What's the matter? And who's that lady?
My daughter-in-law. Precisely speaking,
she's my ex daughter-in-law.
Your ex daughter-in-law.?
Are you alright?
Yes.
This cold drink revived me.
Do you mind if I ask what that was about?
You saw everything. What could I hide from you?
Remember I said Juri has an older brother?
Gentle, good-natured... He's such a good son.
Oh.
But he married the wrong woman full of vanity
and with too many men in her life.
They got divorced after three years of marriage.
So that woman was her.
Yes.
So why did you meet her?
By some kind of bad luck,
she found a new job and she works at...
Our company?
Unlike Juri, she's quite lousy.
Juri didn't like her very much when she lived with us.
But now they work together. It makes Juri feel quite uneasy.
I understand.
So I asked her if she can find another job.
That outrageous girl demands $5 million.
My, she couldn't possibly.
What's her name? What department is she in?
No, no.
I'm a businesswoman myself.
Executives shouldn't care about trifles.
Please forget about what I told you today.
Ice water, please.
Why didn't you take the money?
I told your mother that I'd quit if she gives me $5 million.
How can you be so bold?
Why not?
You and your mother do not act fair, do you?
What's the real reason why you won't quit?
You think you have something on us, huh?
So you're up to get even with us?
I have no such intention. Don't worry and just get back to work.
You shouldn't be away from your desk so often.
He is one of the rare good people these days.
Kindhearted, diligent, able, healthy...
If you can marry him, you're really lucky.
Mother, please stop.
I can vouch for him, so have no worry.
Mrs. Uhm, let's leave them alone now.
Okay, okay, I'm not that slow-witted.
I'll let you enjoy your date.
Hyodong, have a good time.
Pay for the coffee.
I have money.
I know you do.
See you later.
Let's go.
Are they shooting a film or what?
Like a handsome couple.
Seems you are solid with your mother-in-law.
Well, yes.
When I heard you supported your parents-in-law without your wife,
I was impressed.
I couldn't wait to meet you.
I'm flattered.
Excuse me.
Okay.
Choonhee.
Bastard!
You're mistaken. Please listen to me.
Choonhee, Choonhee!
Hyodong! Hyodong!
Choonhee!
Let's go somewhere and talk. Don't misunderstand.
Misunderstand? Did I misunderstand when I saw it?
I know you can misunderstand the situation, but I had some reasons.
What are you doing?
I'm a fool to have trusted you! I'm an idiot to have loved you!
Choonhee! Please listen to me!
Where the heck is she to starve me all day?
I'm so irritated.
Don't you think you're too much?
I was hungry all day. You can't treat a patient like this!
I'm in a bad mood. Don't bother me.
Stop there!
Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?
How could you hit me without even hearing me out?
I had some reasons.
To hell with reasons!
I saw you grin from ear to ear.
That's not true. Apologize to me first.
Apologize for what?
Apologize for slapping my face.
You deserved it. Don't tell me to apologize!
I did nothing wrong to deserve your slap.
I didn't know you're so brazen-faced.
I saw you on your date and you're saying you did nothing wrong?
Did you have a blind date?
You didn't ask how and why I was there.
Don't you think it was rash of you to slap my face?
Did you slap him in the face?
Say no more.
I rejected you as of today.
Let's not get involved with each other.
Fine! You're so violent and temperamental. I'm tired of you!
What's wrong with you? You both are going too far.
Alright. We're done then.
Let's end the relationship!
Okay, let's do that!
Hey. Even though you're upset,
you shouldn't say such words so easily.
Please calm down and talk.
Thanks for everything. So long, Mr. Minn!
Ms. Yang, Ms. Yang! Stop her.
Thanks for everything too! So long, Ms. Yang!
Hey. Even though you're upset, this isn't right.
You shouldn't say goodbye so easily for old times' sake.
Get out of the way!
What's this situation? What's wrong with them?
Maybe we'd better have duck instead of pork rind.
I already told the dietitian.
Right, we told her to come to the pork rind pub.
Seems you have a team outing tonight.
- Hi. - How are you?
Yes. We have a new member and it's been awhile.
What shall we have for dinner?
How about pork rind?
Pork rind?
You don't like it?
Yes, I do.
Do you eat such food?
I love it.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Cheers! Bottoms up!
I didn't know you like pork rind.
I'm surprised.
In fact, this is my first time.
But you said you love it.
We had a formal meeting, so I wanted a place to eat casually.
Is it okay with you?
Of course.
- Can you place an order? - Yes.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
We already had a round of drinks. I'll fill your glass.
- Drink up, okay? - Okay.
Bottoms up.
You drink well.
Mr. Yi, let me fill your glass.
Sorry but I think I shouldn't drink tonight.
Why not?
Well. I have an appointment.
I'll fill your glass.
Thank you.
She's a good drinker.
Drinking too fast.
Yes.
Dinner is ready.
I have no appetite.
I want crispy rice crust soup.
Okay.
Pull in your mouth. You look ugly.
You are of no help to me!
Yeah, blame me.
What are we gonna do? She refuses to quit.
It's a matter of time before Seyoon finds out.
So why did you have to do that?
I didn't know things would come to this!
What should we do now?
We're gonna win over his mother.
If his mother wants him to marry you, what can he do?
He's not a mama's boy like Cholgyu.
What?
When he falls in love, no one can stop him.
He's nowhere near a mama's boy.
Juri, what if...
You know your boyfriend.
He couldn't possibly have gone all the way with her, right?
Her?
You mean Chaewon?
I've tried every possible means to hook him up with her.
Stop that nonsense.
He's very picky when it comes to women.
Are you in your dotage?
You didn't have to yell at me.
I'm so irritated.
Juri!
Don't tell Cholgyu.
He'll only make the matter worse.
You think I'm stupid?
That foul temper.
I can tolerate my father or my half-blood's mistreatment.
But what I really can't stand is my mom being disgusted with me.
I could understand her though since I'm her Scarlet Letter.
So please get me out of my family.
I need your help.
You must be as lonely as I am.
I'm sorry about your life.
Why are there empty seats?
Chaewon has a dinner with her coworkers, so she'll be late.
Seems Hyodong is having a good time with his date.
She's plump and looks generous just like Buddha.
She's a good match for him.
Gone down the drain then.
What do you mean?
Oh, Mom.
Would he like a Buddha-looking woman than a beauty like Ms. Yang?
I really don't think Ms. Yang is a beauty.
I know.
She might look pretty at a glance, but her face is tiring.
If I were a man, I wouldn't like her.
She turns me off.
Right. Rough life written on her face.
Boreum.
Hello?
Yes. One second please.
She wants to talk with you, Grandma.
Me?
Hello?
Yes. Oh, hi.
No, he didn't come back yet.
What are you talking about?
He left in the middle and didn't come back yet?
Yes. Okay.
I'll ask him what happened when he comes back.
I'll call you later. Bye.
Did he disappear during the date?
Yes. That's so strange.
That's not strange.
You pushed his back, but he couldn't betray Ms. Yang. That's it.
Gangsook.
Go get a needle and thread.
Why do you need it now?
To sew up your hubby's mouth.
This is so frustrating.
Where are you going?
He must be at her cafe. I'll go bring him home.
I'll go with you.
Me too.
I'm home.
Where have you been?
I'm tired. I need a rest.
But...
Leave him alone.
He must have many thoughts in his head. Let him rest.
I rejected you as of today.
Let's not get involved with each other.
Fine! You're so violent and temperamental. I'm tired of you!
I thought he'd never change.
He is a man after all.
Darn it.
Like a pig caught in the fight.
Why do they have to fight all of a sudden?
I'm so hungry.
Ms. Uhm!
What are you doing here?
I have dinner here these days.
I can't cook with this arm. What brings you here?
My nephew wants snacks.
How do you do?
He is my second oldest brother's son.
You look exactly like your dad.
Pick what you want.
Okay.
Is Hyodong at home?
Yes, he came back a little while ago.
No. Don't call him.
He's in a bad mood.
Ms. Yang's cafe is closed too.
What's their problem? Are they really in love or what?
What's that about?
A stone like you can never understand them.
Stone? Who do you think I am?
If my first love hadn't ended in failure,
I would have a son as old as my nephew.
First love? You had a first love?
I did.
Around 20 years ago, I entered a concours.
While I was playing Mozart's Sonata,
I forgot the notes.
That man gave me his handkerchief and said,
You played the piano from the heart.
What's more important than techniques is the heart of a musician.
And your music has it.
He was one of the judges, but he came after me out of concern.
Isn't he really thoughtful and romantic?
He was a rookie tenor who swept the awards in international concours.
I would send him letters and he would reply to me.
But suddenly, he disappeared.
And my letters were returned.
Where did he go?
He really has no manners.
Auntie, I'm ready.
Okay. Let's go.
Five dollars in total including a cup ramen and a kimbap.
Cup ramen and kimbap?
Your friend said you'd pay for them together.
What?
Thank you!
That thick skin!
Ma'am, you should pay.
I'm so upset. Darn it!
I thought you were dollishly coy. But you're not.
Dollishly coy? No way. I'm not coy at all.
You look drunk. Will you be okay?
This is a welcome party for me.
I shouldn't chicken out.
I'd rather die gloriously!
Good that you're outgoing.
Please don't hate me.
I have many shortcomings but I'll do my best. Salute!
I didn't hate you.
Welcome to the team.
Since we're going in the same direction,
we can share a taxi.
What about you, Chaewon?
Don't worry. I can take care of myself. Please go first.
But you really got loaded. We'll go after you go.
Yes, that'd be good.
No. That's unacceptable.
I'm the youngest. I can't leave first.
That'd be a revolt against seniors.
Please go home first.
Are you sure you're okay?
I'm okay. No problem.
Taxi!
Taxi! Taxi!
Please get in the cab.
Are you sure you're alright?
Are you sure you're okay?
I'm okay. No problem.
Okay then. Take care.
Yup!
- See you tomorrow. - Bye.
Take care.
Good bye.
Take care!
Now I'll go home.
What a waste to enjoy the sight alone.
Who are you?
Seems you're totally wasted.
Oh, you're Captain Hong.
Who's Captain Hong?
Didn't you see the movie?
Captain Hong who darts in and out of places to help people out of trouble.
You also dart in and out of places whenever I'm in trouble.
Oh, then you're Captain Yi, not Captain Hong.
Stop acting drunk.
I'll take you home. Get in the car.
Yup, Captain Yi!
I'm okay. No problem.
No problem?
Actually, you're a problematic woman.
[Juri]
Hello?
She's impossible.
Dad, I'm on my way home.
I just took a taxi. I'll be home soon.
Don't worry about me and go to bed. Bye.
She's enigmatic.
I'll hold the flash lights. You switch our noodles with Keechoon's.
This is stealing.
Didn't you see in the movies?
People do things worse than this to win.
What's there to fear when we might lose $10 million?
Okay, okay.
Hello?
My!
Look who's here. Seyoon?
It's me Aunt Dohee.
How are you?
Hi.
Mr. Kim?
How are you?
What are you doing here?
We are Chaewon's uncle and aunt.
Really?
How come she's dead drunk?
By the way, how did you bring her home?
We had a get-together today.
She looked drunk so I brought her home.
Also, I had business around here.
Oh.
Is your family doing okay? And your mom, too?
Yes.
Since you came this far, come in for tea.
No thank you. It's late. I'd better go.
Good night.
Bye.
Something smells fishy.
What do you mean?
They're not in the same department.
Also, how does he know her house when she recently started working?
Something definitely smells fishy.
There you go again. Just come inside.
Isn't he in the office yet?
What is that?
Thank you for taking me home yesterday.
This is hangover soup. Enjoy it.
Chaewon Minn.
He took her home?
He can't possibly have gone all the way with her, right?
Wait.
Like Mom said, maybe Chaewon covets him.
You're early today.
Coffee to chase a hangover.
I guess you had a drink last night.
Thanks.
Now I'll give you evaluations.
Starting from Keeok.
Yes, Father.
Proper use of flour but wrong choice of salt.
Since you used refined salt,
it failed to form gluten
and caused the loss of clean taste.
Your mark is 40.
Forty? You're too severe in grading.
That's it.
Next is ours.
What's wrong?
Are these your noodles?
Of course. You see my name tag.
That's our work, Father.
Wrong choice of flour.
But you mixed strong and weak flour, so the taste won't be bad.
Right choice of bay salt that contains rich minerals.
You kneaded dough using feet, so the noodles will be chewy.
Though this isn't perfect, I want to give this the highest mark.
Thank you, Father. Thank you.
The highest mark? Unbelievable.
I know.
Their noodles were awful.
Father, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
Make a mistake?
You're challenging his authority.
We will work hard.
Thank you.
Noodles are like your own child.
No parents would switch their child because it's ugly,
and no parents would have their child stolen.
Thus, I will fail Keemoon and disqualify you two.
What are you talking about, Father?
You sure know what I'm talking about.
I'll give Keechoon a zero for not even noticing that his noodles were stolen.
So you mean,
Keemoon switched his noodles with mine?
My. This is unbelievable.
Even though it's a tough world, how could this happen?
How could you do that?
Giving us a zero is unfair. We're victims ourselves.
That's it for today.
Yes! Then I won the first place.
Keemoon, don't you think you're too much?
I'm sorry.
See? I told you not to do that.
Father is a real expert.
I'm sorry. Sorry, Gangsook.
How could you think of switching noodles?
That's dirty play.
I'm sorry, Gangsook. No words can justify our behavior.
Zero points for being a victim? That's unfair.
I can't accept the result.
Of course not. Never!
Dang!
I was too harsh yesterday.
Forgive me if I offended you.
Please accept this peace bouquet.
Let's make up.
[For sale]
Huh? For sale?
Isn't she too much?
I can vacant the store even this week. Sign the papers if you like it.
She has to go back to the U.S. urgently so she put this on sale at this price.
You can't find a place like this at this price.
She'll go back to the U.S.?
I'll think about it and come back.
Okay. Give it a good thought and come back.
Let's go.
Good bye.
Didn't you see the notice? I closed my business.
You'll go back to the U.S.?
How can you do this without discussing it with me?
You're ridiculous.
Why should I discuss it with you?
Even though you're upset, this is too much.
I'm tired.
I made that decision irrespective of you. Don't jump to conclusions.
Alright.
Whether you go back to the U.S. or not, do as you'd like.
What?
Instead of asking me not to go, you're saying do as I like?
Isn't he really going too far?
You give in first.
Say you're sorry on your knees.
No. I don't have any lingering feeling for such a stubborn woman!
This is no time to stand on pride.
I don't care!
Scary... Gees.
By the way, where can I have lunch?
Is she a new bar hostess? Nice style!
What again?
Choonhee!
Solju! What a surprise.
I brought seafood kimchi for you.
You didn't have to. Thanks.
Have a seat.
I saw the lease notice on the door.
Yes.
Good location and low down payment. I can dispose it soon.
Did you decide to go back?
Yes.
Nothing good happens here. I'll leave as soon as I sell the store.
Is there anything I can do for you?
I met you in 30 years and that's enough.
What can I wish for more?
I'm sorry, Choonhee. I'm so sorry.
Why do you say sorry to me all the time?
I'm just sorry about everything.
Don't be.
When I wandered around like a madwoman 30 years ago,
had it not been for you, I wouldn't be alive now.
I would've died at that time.
I'm living an extra life thanks to you.
You're my lifetime savior.
Sorry about getting mad at you.
Please forgive me.
For what?
Don't say that.
How are you?
Don't you think you're too much?
What do you mean?
I took you home when you were dead drunk.
You can at least send me a thank you message.
My aunt told me that you saw me home last night.
Thank you.
So I put hangover soup on your desk this morning.
Hangover soup?
Didn't you see a Thermo on your desk?
No.
Did my secretary put it away?
By the way, Mr. Yi...
Did you also have a get-together at the pork rind pub yesterday?
Yes.
So that pub is a house of call.
Didn't I make any mistakes last night?
I'm a poor drinker like my dad.
Why are you smiling?
Did I make any mistakes?
No.
Then why are you smiling?
What is it? Guess I made mistakes.
No.
Opened a website?
Yes.
I will post a week's worth of meals
and you can request what you feel like and give me any feedback.
That's a good idea.
My nickname is "Idea Bank."
Drunk talk and self-praise. You're something.
Drunk talk?
Oh no. I must've made a mistake last night. Right?
What are they doing?
I better not leave her alone.
Aren't you surprised by our hasty request for marriage?
Marriage is an important decision.
I did feel that you rushed it a bit too hastily.
The bride's family rushing a wedding...
You might've thought she had some flaws.
No.
Flaws? I never had such a thought.
Who can dare to have such a thought towards a prestigious family?
Oh, it's possible.
Anyways, my father-in-law is in a serious condition.
His doctor told the family to prepare our heart.
Oh.
Since my family keeps this old custom,
it'll be impossible for us to marry her off within 3 years after his funeral.
So I feel pressured as her mother.
Yes, I understand.
My mom must be rushing our wedding, using my grandfather as an excuse.
I wonder if her tricks work.
You sound like you're talking about strangers.
I'm on bad terms with my mom.
Same here.
You're known as a pious son.
Maybe as a mama's boy, not as a pious son.
Right.
You're known as the worst mama's boy without a peer.
Ha. Good to know you're honest.
My mom isn't an easy mark.
If you marry me, you'll have a tough married life.
Are you gonna marry me?
I'll give you an answer after I ask someone.
To whom?
A fortuneteller?
They're such a cute couple.
Oh, my.
It's still chilly. Aren't your hands cold?
It's okay.
The more I see you, the more gentle and feminine you look.
You don't seem like the typical girl.
Seems you really like her.
Of course.
Where have you been until now?
You have such a beautiful smile.
Be my daughter, not daughter-in-law, okay?
Long time no see.
What now?
Can we talk?
I have nothing to say to you.
Today will be the last.
I came to see you for the last time...
before I make up my mind.
Give me 10 minutes.
Say what you have to say.
My family is waiting for me.
Is your family doing okay? How is Father?
My dad isn't your father-in-law anymore.
You don't have to point it out.
What's your business with me?
I had a blind date.
My mom likes my date. I think she stroke her fancy.
That's good.
The parents from both families are rushing the wedding.
Congrats.
I wanted to ask you one last time.
Ask me what?
Can't we start over again?
Are we really finished with each other?
I told you, we're history now.
You're finished with me but I'm not.
I want to hold onto you if there's any chance.
I want to start over again with you.
I really can't let you go.
We're through.
Our relationship is meant to end here.
Enough is enough.
You begged me, threatened me, and held onto me.
But my heart isn't for you.
The more you do this, the more I get sick of you.
I see.
That's how you feel.
Make a fresh start with that lady.
Since your mother likes her, you can have a happy family life.
Then is this really the end of us?
It should be.
Alright.
So be it.
I'll never come to you again.
Good bye.
Wait.
Since this is the last...
Since this is really the last...
Take care.
Good bye.
I told you!
That's stealing, so I told you not to do that.
If you had made good noodles, I wouldn't have suggested that.
Are you blaming me?
I was sure we were last in the tournament.
So I took an extreme measure.
We'd rather have finished last.
We're deprived of the chance to go for the next round.
I told Seulhong to come back. Why is he taking so long?
Would he be of any help to us?
Three is better than two.
Cut the crap and just come back!
It's unfair that you gave us a zero.
Give us at least 20 points.
We worked hard. It's pretty harsh of you to give us a zero.
We're responsible for having our noodles stolen,
but we couldn't help it since they were determined.
An old saying goes, "Ten people can't prevent a determined thief."
Right.
It's spilt milk. Prepare yourself for the next round.
Then please consider our situation and give us a hint for the next round.
I'm hungry. Is dinner ready yet?
Father.
Father, please drop me a hint.
- Father... - Just the first letter.
Can't believe this!
Why did they have to screw us up along with them!
Calm down.
Let's calm down.
Dad, are you unwell?
No. I'm fine.
Grandma said you stayed in your room all day long.
I think you have a fever.
No. I'm fine.
Come out for dinner.
I stayed in bed all day, so the lunch is still in my stomach.
I have no appetite. Go out and eat.
You're really strange. Are you sure you're okay?
I'm fine.
Don't worry about me. Just go eat.
Go eat dinner.
You'll go back to the U.S.?
How can you do this without discussing it with me first?
I made that decision irrespective of you. Don't jump to conclusions.
How could you think of going back to the U.S. leaving me alone?
Was our love nothing?
I'm so upset.
Wasn't he supposed to beg me not to go?
Did he really love me?
How could he be so cool about it?
Unbelievable.
Were you with Hongju until now?
No.
You didn't drink. Where have you been till this late?
I went for a drive to make up my mind.
About what?
Why don't you answer? What is it about?
I will do it.
Do what?
I'll marry her.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Hurray! Hurray for Korea! Hurray for Cholgyu Kim!
Are you that happy?
Of course.
I could dance even in the heart of Seoul.
Hurray for Cholgyu Kim!
What's this fuss about? What's the occasion?
He made up his mind at last.
What do you mean?
He decided to marry Hongju.
Really?
Yeah, I guess.
That's my boy.
Become in-laws with Taesan? Am I dreaming?
Juri, pinch me.
It hurts! So it is real.
Like you hit the jackpot.
This is more than the jackpot.
It's like I won the Mega Million!
Hurray!
Any good news?
My first paycheck.
Oh. It's payday.
Congrats.
It's been so long since I got a paycheck.
Feels like I achieved something great and I feel so satisfied.
Feels like I became rich.
My dad will be so glad. Thinking about it makes me happy.
I've worried him until now. He'll be relieved now.
It's all thanks to you.
In words only?
Of course not. I'm not an ungrateful person.
Then treat me to something nice.
Oh. My dinner appointment was canceled. Treat me to dinner.
You know what?
I have to attend a dietitian seminar at Crystal Hotel today.
No way. Is that an excuse?
Of course not.
Today is a bad day but...
I'll treat you twice.
Excuse me for today.
Oh.
You're like an angel sent from Heaven.
You're beautiful.
Thank you.
Did you have a good dream last night?
What is this?
This is my puppy, Coco.
Why is it in this room?
She's like my own family.
Coco, greet her.
No.
It's okay. Say hi.
No.
Coco, where are you going?
Coco. Coco, where are you?
What does she think she's doing?
Going after the puppy when her mother-in-law fell?
Is she in her right mind?
Chaewon.
Coco!
Coco, where are you?
Cholgyu.
