Lee Samjae
I told mom.
We're going to hold your father's memorial service every year.
Why are you just standing there?
She must be surprised because he passed away so long ago.
Go wash and get changed.
Not into pants but a pretty suit.
The one I bought for you.
Go and get changed into that.
Seoyeong, what's wrong?
Seoyeong!
Hey...
You should've told me that you were bringing someone home.
Then I would've prepared some good food at least.
All we have is seaweed soup and Chinese take away.
This is no way to treat a guest.
What would you do when you hurt your wrist?
I told you I'd cook the seaweed soup.
Who cooks their own seaweed soup?
I thought you'd be too tired to tell the difference between the salt and sugar.
I'm fine, father.
I have a big appetite so I eat everything.
I'm just thankful for the food.
She eats as much as me and she's not picky with her food at all.
Let's blow the candles first.
Stop that. I don't need this.
My girlfriend bought it for you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm old and the fact that I was born is nothing to celebrate...
I don't like all these candles and things.
You don't have to do it if you don't like it.
But you need to accept my congratulations.
If it weren't for you there would be no Lee Sangu.
Is that how it is?
She's right.
Then how about a song instead of blowing candles?
You're going to sing?
I can pull a tune.
I might be good at anything else but I can sing just a little bit.
I'd be happy with that.
Here I go then.
♫ Beautifully born in the autumn... ♫
♫ Sangu's father is as clean as the snow... ♫
♫ Beautifully born in the autumn... ♫
♫ Sangu's father is as clean as the snow... ♫
Let's go to the hospital, Seoyeong.
It's not that bad.
I'm just too tired.
There were too many cases I've been stressed about.
You were tired plus I gave you a shock.
It was actually a surprise to make you happy.
Your phone was ringing last night.
You had your dad's death anniversary saved in the calendar.
You have a brother but you've lost contact.
He probably wouldn't have the memorial service.
I thought you'd be concerned.
You should've told me first.
I made a mistake.
You said you'd tell me in time.
I've been waiting for you to open up first.
What is it that's making you stress so much?
You can tell me now, can't you?
There can be certain hurts that you never want to tell anyone!
Whoever that may be.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
My impatient and selfish personality has resurfaced only after 3 years.
I'm sorry, okay?
Go back to bed.
How did you lose both your parents so early?
They passed away together in an accident when she was in 12th grade.
How did that happen?
I'm really sorry.
But I can't tell you about my parents today.
Please understand just this once.
I promise to tell you everything next time.
Okay, sure...
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
Just do whatever's comfortable. It's okay.
It's okay. I'm the one that's sorry.
There's no need to be sorry.
Just treat her like a friend!
Stop getting ahead of yourself.
Stop being so crafty.
This is the first time he's brought a girl home.
- Really? - And you're his first girlfriend.
I can't believe that.
- I'm being serious. - Stop it, dad.
If you overly exaggerate your lies, they lose their effect.
She's experiencing my popularity at the hospital with her entire being.
- Isn't that right, Dr. Kang? - Dr. Lee...
It's not with my entire being.
Would you like that to be the case from tomorrow?
Just you try it!
Shocked weren't you? This is how I live.
You already told me it was a rooftop house.
It was refreshing with a good view like you told me.
What's with the pink bed though?
If I tell you about that bed, it'd be the same as proposing to you.
What?
You can't tell me beforehand like that.
I'll probably tell you something then.
There's something about my family that I haven't told you about.
But I think I can tell you.
There's something I haven't told you either.
That'll be my proposal too.
Are you guaranteeing it for me?
No...
I think I can tell you everything too.
I'm really curious right now. But I'll hold it in.
How about we match our next day off and tell each other at the same time?
Next day off?
I'd better look good to the chief.
Let's go. I'll take you.
It's father's birthday so go back in.
I can go home by myself.
Do you know how dark these alleys are?
I have a good sense of direction. I can find my way.
You're wearing a short skirt with heels!
Plus you've done your hair and makeup!
You're quite sexy right now.
Me? No way!
Come here.
- What do you mean no way? - It's true.
- You're home. - Yeah.
- How's Seoyeong doing? - She's asleep.
She must've been stressed out.
Is she the only judge that's working in Korea?
Why faint on the day of her father's memorial service?
Do you know how much effort I put in to it? And she didn't even bow.
We're just not compatible.
If she didn't faint and carried on with the service,
I'm sure she would've fainted from your boasting.
There's nothing more annoying than to boast and demand thanks?
Ujae asked me to do it.
Then get Ujae to thank you.
Don't go around asking for it in the wrong place?
Seoyeong asked me thank you.
Did she?
And I'm even more thankful.
But Ujae...
What kind of life has she lived that she's lost contact with her brother?
And how did her father pass away?
What disease did her mother pass away from? Why won't she say a word?
Not even to her husband?
How tough must it have been for her to do that?
No matter how tough it was, what is marriage?
It's to tell each other everything and hold no secrets.
Marriage is about trust.
Are you sure she's not hiding something?
What if her father did something really bad in the past?
Shouldn't we have to looked into it?
Mom...
Did you forget that we got it checked out by Professor Jeong before the wedding?
Oh, that's right.
She should at least find her brother. It's like she has no roots.
Mom, please stop.
She's had such a hard life that she lost contact with even her brother.
I told her that she didn't have to say anything.
Yeah, I know.
I realized just then that I've said this before.
But still...
Did you see her off?
Dad, what do you think?
Very nice. Looks good indeed.
Not the clothes, I mean Migyeong.
I was talking about her, you fool.
She looks good?
What did you like about her?
She seemed so bright and cheery. She was nice.
She's overflowing with positive energy, right?
I can see why you like her.
Doesn't look like misfortune could come even near her.
It'd be pushed out by her positive energy.
Why did she buy something so expensive?
This is really good.
Seoyeong's not even calling when it's your birthday.
When you're too busy with life, you even forget your own birthday.
Dad, why don't you ever ask about Seoyeong?
You always tell me first before I get the chance to ask.
But it's a bit strange that you never ask.
What's strange about it?
You used to love Seoyeong 100 times more than me.
That's when you were young.
Seoyeong used to love me too.
She'd always wrap herself around me crying, "Dad, dad."
But unlike you, she's difficult to approach.
It's like that for all parents.
If they don't like, you don't like them.
There are many things I've done wrong...
I found it hard to be around Seoyeong all this time too.
Wherever she is, so long as she's living a good life.
And she's not the type to not have a good life wherever she is.
I think she's thinking of living in the U.S. permanently.
Really?
That's good. The U.S is good.
I'd better take good care of this.
Who are you?
What the? Migyeong, were you a girl?
What?
What's wrong with you? Work out your identity.
I don't need a sister.
Come back to being my brother.
Stop fooling around! Want to die?
Keep it down. Seoyeong is ill.
Oh, yeah...
Is she ill? Why?
She fainted from too much stress.
Today was her father's memorial service.
Today?
Seoyeong, what are you doing?
It's the day I go to volunteer today.
Do you think I forgot?
You can't go today. You have to rest at home.
My back's aching because I've been lying down since evening last night.
You're saying that you won't even go to the hospital or get some rest?
- Don't you think that's a bit much? - Then what can I do?
It's a promise that's to be kept only once per month.
The elders would have been looking forward to today.
I guess you'll go then.
I have to eat this first, right?
I was going to go down to eat.
But I couldn't go down because I felt bad to mother for being so normal.
Mother, I'm so sorry about last night.
You fainted from stress and yet you have the energy to go and volunteer?
I'm sorry for making you worry.
I'll see you later.
Make sure you drop by the salon and get your hair and makeup done.
I've made reservations.
Okay.
Why are you so down?
He's the vice-president of Uju Department Store!
And why are your eyes always so swollen?
You drive me crazy.
The vice-president of Uju Department Store?
You should've told me if Hojeong was going on an arranged date.
Don't forget the rules to a successful arranged date, okay?
Yeah. Don't act fussy. Initiate conversation through questions.
Show him that I'm a modern woman.
There you go.
Act modern and fancy. Okay?
Okay?
You can do it!
You have a very unique style...
This is the Pennsylvania style.
Oh, you went overseas to Pennsylvania to study the harp...
Mom made me go.
That's like me.
My parents forced me to work in the department store.
I see.
Yes.
Don't you have anything you want to ask me?
Ask me some questions.
How many times do you meet your girlfriend in a week?
- Excuse me? - How many times?
3 times as a minimum... Maximum...
Would everyone else be like that?
Can you have a girlfriend if you never meet her?
I'm sure you can't if you don't meet her.
Right?
Yes, that's right.
Maybe I should have followed her to see how she does.
I'm so curious.
What are you doing?
I'm worrying about Hojeong, what else?
If they have lunch together, that means it went well, right?
Mom, I think handmade knife-cut noodles would be good for lunch.
Handmade?
- It looks tasty on TV. - Yeah.
Knife-cut noodles only taste good when they're made by hand.
Let's have handmade knife-cut noodles for lunch.
How dare he act like he owns this place?
People who leave the house early in the morning...
Or those who can't go home because they have too much work...
When do they find the time to meet their girlfriends?
What are you doing?
Conversation.
Let's stop this conversation.
Do you want to stop?
Let's do that then.
Goodbye.
Choi Hojeong! What are you doing?
What? Did I do something wrong?
Didn't I do as we planned?
You weren't supposed to as you planned!
Sangu has a girlfriend.
Then you should take him at least.
How can you act disinterested and weird like we planned?
He was totally my style.
He can't even compare to the dirt on Sangu's feet.
Jobs available
This is good enough.
Let's see.
Who are you?
Mister! You still live here!
Mister, it's me. Don't you remember me?
I'm asking who you are.
I got drunk and fell asleep on the street 3 years ago.
I threw up at your place and everything.
Why did you come to see me?
There's something I must ask you.
Have you been well for the past 3 years?
Yes...
So you came to ask me something in 3 years?
Yes, I must earnestly ask you this.
- Earnestly? - I'm earnestly begging you.
You must tell me the truth.
Does Sangu really have a girlfriend?
Are you sick?
What a state you're in.
How could you like Sangu for 3 years without even seeing him?
I know...
Does Sangu really have a girlfriend?
- He does. - He does?
- Have you met her? - Yes, I have.
She's a doctor at the same hospital?
Who is it?
I've told you this much because I'm concerned about you...
But I can't tell you who it is.
So he really did have one...
So just forget him.
They're in a very serious relationship.
Sangu said this...
If he hadn't married or gotten engaged...
He'd give me a chance.
I guess it's over for me.
Right, mister?
It's really all over for me and Sangu...
Right?
No way... That doesn't sound right at all.
My daughter isn't such a weirdo.
You heard from Cha Jiseon, the WINNERS' CEO's wife.
With my daughter...
What is going on?
Her hairstyle and makeup was like a crazy woman? Including her personality?
- Mom... - Hey, Choi Hojeong!
He didn't like me, did he?
You look fine to me.
Did you go to the date like this?
Yeah... But he left early so I went to complain to Yeongeun.
What on earth did you do?
I think he has a girlfriend.
- Girlfriend? - Don't tell his family.
He didn't tell me directly but he kept going on about my hair and makeup.
I could tell he had someone.
That crazy...
This is why you need to go on arranged dates with the adults.
How dare he tell off my daughter just because the adults aren't around?
Sons of those kinds of families are all like that.
Why did the first guy have to be like that? What bad luck.
I know...
I'll be upstairs.
Don't worry. I'll make sure that the second is a great catch.
I'm so upset.
Jiseon assured me that there was nothing wrong with him.
Did she even look into it properly?
Judge Lee...
Yes, director. Is there anything more I can help with?
Not that... This woman lives behind our old folks' home.
So your son said that he'd give you $1,000 per month
if you sold your $300,000 home?
- But he's not keeping his promise? - That's right.
My husband said never to sell that house nor give it to my son.
He told me to live in the main room and rent out the others.
He left it behind for my livelihood.
So that was 3 years ago.
Till when did you receive the $1,000 per month?
He gave me $1,000 once, then $700 twice.
$500 four time and that's it.
He says he has the right to heirship.
You said that he was given the field and a two-story house already.
He said that was different to heirship.
How did you make a living for the past 2 and a half years?
I collect recyclables and sold them. I did farming wherever I could.
I just barely got by.
My back hurts so much that I can't even work.
Someone told me this...
That there was a way to get money from my son.
Yes. You can get your living expenses paid by your son.
There is?
You can make a claim for sustenance allowance.
Basically you're suing your son to pay up.
Suing?
It's a very simple process and it doesn't cost all that much.
What you need to do is...
No, I can't do that.
What if I do that and he goes to prison?
There's no way I can do that.
What parent would send their child to prison for money?
I just can't do that.
Of course, that magazine is worth doing an interview for.
You should ask first.
Okay, okay.
Then let's decide on the date and time...
Oh, my daughter-in-law just got home.
She's so compatible with me.
You can tell the reporter that the interview is good to go.
Yes...
Today Daily has a cultural magazine.
They want to interview you and me in their "Prestigious Families" section.
And that's for the very first issue.
Mother...
Don't tell me you can't because you're a judge.
There's a female chief judge in your court.
She did a family interview in a women's magazine last month.
It's not because I'm a judge...
I'm going to quit being a judge.
You're going to quit?
Why? Let's hear the reason why you insist on quitting being a judge
and being a regular lawyer?
As I told you before, being a judge doesn't suit me.
I feel no sense of duty or the belief of being a judge either.
Just how many judges in Korea would have those qualities?
Are you saying that you don't find it rewarding?
- That's right. - Then what about a lawyer?
You can represent those that need help as a lawyer.
Do that then.
Kang Gibeom, how can you give her your permission so easily?
Mom, please let her decide since it's her job.
She followed your will but only ended up being stressed out.
And a good law firm has scouted her as well.
Did you look into other law firms already?
I'm sorry. Please be understanding.
I think this is the perfect time for you two to go to bed.
I just can't understand you!
I just can't accept this!
I've never asked you to understand or accept me.
Why are you so good to your daughter-in-law?
She's made Ujae a lot more useful than I thought.
Do you think Seoyeong did that?
Yeah.
He took over the company because of Seoyeong.
He adapted so quickly and is growing it so well.
And that's not all.
He even created scholarships for high school students like Seoyeong.
He's raised our company's public image by miles.
And you're saying that's all thanks to Seoyeong?
Think of Ujae's before and after he met Seoyeong.
He's changed so much for the better.
A wise woman changes a man.
She's the thankful woman that changed our son.
Why make her do something she doesn't want to.
Why stop her from doing what she wants to do?
That's my point. Why does she make you look good and me so bad?
She got your son, Kang Seongjae, into university.
Don't forget that!
Wife, when did you get so much favor from my dad?
It's only because you're doing so well with the company that it's passing down to me.
He's not a man to show favor for no reason.
You're so clever.
You've worked out my dad already.
I had that done 3 years ago.
If you're feeling better, use that clever head of yours for me.
What is it?
Mr. Yu Manho...
Did you ask them to find work for him in the company?
He wouldn't even receive compensation.
Would he accept it if I gave him a job?
He had to quit his old job because he injured his wrist.
There's no reason for him to refuse.
You haven't met him.
You don't know how stubborn he is.
I don't think he'll accept anything if he feels like it's too much.
Then get him the job without his knowing.
Really?
How?
What a pity. I thought you'd give me a comfy ride to work for a while.
I can take you to work until you get a car.
I thought you weren't going to volunteer at our hospital anymore.
What are you saying?
How can I just quit like that?
It'd be irresponsible of me to do that.
I need to do it for at least a month.
That's great to hear.
So he specialized in liver surgery? I'm looking forward to this.
His nickname was Iceman.
Why? Is he that cold?
He's a total ice cube.
Close your mouths and hurry up!
You all know, right?
He specialized in liver surgery in Pennsylvania University Hospital...
Professor Choi Gyeongho.
He's greatly skilled so make sure you learn a lot from him.
Yes!
Please greet our surgeon residents.
I see.
Jo Gyuwon.
Lee Sangu. Park Jaehui. Kang Migyeong. Kim Minsu.
I'm Kang Migyeong.
It's hard to find female doctors in surgery.
But she's really passionate.
Get to work.
Where is pediatrics?
Internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, otolaryngology.
There'd be more than 100 residents.
Wait, she's a female resident.
Yunseon, how many female residents are there at our hospital?
I'm not sure. Why do you ask?
It's nothing.
I'd better ask Migyeong.
Wait, I don't have her number.
Yunseon, I'll go have lunch first.
Excuse me. Where is Dr. Kang Migyeong?
She just went to eat.
Then can you please tell me her number?
I'm a close friend of hers.
I can't tell you her number. I'll leave a message for you.
I'm a volunteer on the first floor.
Leave your name here.
Quit the volunteer work at our hospital immediately.
Wait a minute!
I'm sorry.
When should I apply for my day off next month?
How about the first Sunday?
Do you think we could both get the first Sunday off?
I'll take care of Jaehui. You take care of Minsu.
Did your father really say I was alright?
You even sang in front of him, as if he wouldn't like you.
I practiced that all night, you know.
- Did you now? - Yeah.
- Good work. - I was so nervous.
His girlfriend was Migyeong?
Department Head Lee from General Affairs is here.
Tell him to come in.
- Did you look into it? - Yes.
I've spoken with a service company...
They said they can make positions available in the garbage cleaning,
overnight patrol and taking care of the parking lot.
Garbage cleaning, overnight patrol and taking care of the parking lot.
Resignation
It's so hard to change your mind.
You taught me so much.
I'm sorry I couldn't do my role properly before I leave.
Who died?
Professor Jeong?
Mom, I'm so happy that you're my mom.
Hey, hey... Executive Secretary Yun...
- What is it? - The thing is...
Professor Jeong is dead. He's dead!
Professor Jeong?
I'm heading to the funeral. Cancel all my appointments!
Seongjae's timetable
Kang Seongjae isn't attending his lessons very much.
He's not attending his lessons?
This just won't work, Segwang. Let's break up.
Then greet me with a final kiss.
Then greet me...
Executive Secretary Yun
What's with this woman? She's breaking my flow.
I'm at your school right now, Seongjae.
School?
Did my dad send you?
Did he ask you to check whether I'm going to all my classes?
I just visited because I had business nearby.
What?
Why?
Why did you come if dad didn't even make you?
Hey?
The thing is...
He was fine when we met last week.
How can he die from a heart attack?
What do you mean last week? He visited me in the hospital yesterday.
How old was Seunghyo?
What's wrong with you? He's our peer from high school.
Oh, yeah. That's right.
Then Seunghyo was 58 as well?
He's gone when he was only 58 years old?
Hey, your first wife left when she was 25!
Don't you think Minseok is misfortunate?
He became a widower at 25.
That's why I married him off through my wife.
That's true.
Hyerin died at 25.
I became a widower at 25.
And Gyeongho became a widower at 31.
Seunghyo died before he reached 60.
Why is life like this?
Why is it so meaningless?
Gyeongho? Your son, Gyeongho?
- Did he lose his wife too? - Yeah, it's been 6 years.
Ah, I need a drink.
Life is so meaningless.
It's so meaningless it hurts my heart.
Hey, come on. Stop singing a duet about life being meaningless.
Just live a full and meaningful life then!
So you're going to acting academy?
You're not going to tell dad, right?
You promised to keep it a secret if I told you the truth.
Have I ever not kept any of your secrets?
If I get caught this time, it'll be like a nuclear bomb going off.
So why do something like this? You have your father's company.
If you study hard in business administration.
Geez. I keep telling you that it doesn't suit me.
And I'll never take it over when Ujae's around.
They're creating an affiliate company.
You can graduate and take over the design team to start with.
You're good with that sort of thing.
There's a much higher chance of success than being an actor.
Why choose the hard road when you can have a secure and dignified life?
What's wrong with you?
Why are you only on dad's side?
It's not the CEO's side. It's your side.
And just why are you taking my side?
That's only because...
I handled your matters ever since you were in junior high.
Are you saying that I feel like a son or something?
No, it's not that... I'm just saying that you're not a stranger.
Stop overdoing it.
You promised to keep my secret so just don't tell dad.
Does your mother know?
She doesn't.
If she knew she'd act all nervous and get caught by dad.
So you made the decision on your own?
You told your sister-in-law, didn't you?
Why are you being so nosy?
I need to get back to practicing for the audition.
Bye.
How may I help you?
I have an appointment with Lawyer Ko Seungchan.
You came.
I've been waiting for you.
Please come this way.
Lawyer Lee Seoyeong
I'm very meticulous when it comes to preparations.
Please take a seat.
I haven't even signed the contract and you're overly prepared.
It's in my nature to move as soon as I get the feeling.
You could say I'm like you.
You're saying you're like me?
We think for a long time and deeply inside.
But don't let it show on the outside.
Then much like when a fish has caught the bait...
We get the feeling and we go for it.
There's no hesitation.
You're using a lot of words to simply say that you're prudent.
Oh, is that so?
You're right.
I don't think you're very prudent.
I have the talent of being able to go very deep in a very short amount of time.
Isn't that being prudent?
Regardless, I'm really looking forward to our time together.
Have you heard from Yeonhui? She's in Seoul too.
Test results
- It's Lee Seoyeong again. - Lee Yeonhui's been beaten again.
I heard she did extra tutoring to beat Seoyeong this time.
No matter how much money she spends, she'll never beat Seoyeong.
Don't you know how strong Lee Seoyeong's pride is?
It'd be nice if you could receive aid with your fees this year too.
I'm upset that you couldn't receive it 2 years in a row
because people thinks it's unfair.
I'm sorry.
There's no need to be sorry to me.
Just ask mother when she'll be able to pay your fees.
Okay.
What am I to do if you don't know?
My mother told me to wait a week.
- But... - Another week?
You've been saying that since March.
When? When? When?
When will you pay your enrollment fees?
- Are you not going to answer me? - Stop it!
Why are you hitting my brother?
Is not being able to pay your fees something to be beaten for?
Then should you be praised for it?
Being praised isn't the opposite of being beaten.
Lee Seoyeong, do you think you're all that because you get good grades?
- How dare you... - Answer me.
Is not being able to pay your fees something to be beaten for?
Is it something for you to beat a student?
Sis...
You twins...
You've been falling behind in enrollment fees since the 10th grade!
It's not that we haven't paid! It's not Sangu that couldn't pay!
Then should I beat your parents?
How dare you glare at me?
Hey, do you think a school is some kind of charity?
How many times has it been?
If you don't want to pay, just quit.
I'll get it for you!
I'll pay you!
Stop it, sis.
Why just sit there and get beaten?
Are you an idiot? Why get beaten?
I just can't live because of you.
Just pretend you didn't see.
My teacher is the biggest jerk in Daegu.
Why annoy him?
What? Are you scared that I annoyed him?
I took the beating because of my pride.
I didn't want to grovel to that jerk.
What else can I do? I'll graduate in half a year.
I just have to hold it in till then.
- I'm going to drop out. - Stop saying that.
Mom said to wait just one week.
Do you believe her?
We have no idea where dad is hiding.
The load sharks come by every day.
How will mom pay for our fees?
Don't you know that she's struggling to even pay back the interest?
That's why you should've paid your fees
with the money you got from tutoring Yeonsik's sibling.
Why give that to mom?
The loan sharks were going to beat mom. How could I not?
That only saves her for that one day.
They'll come back tomorrow and the next day...
It's not something that'll be done with in one day.
That's why I'm saying I'll drop out.
I'm going to drop out and work and save for my university enrollment.
- Hey, if mom finds out... - Just you try and tell mom.
I'll leave for Seoul if you do.
Lee Seoyeong.
I heard you stopped tutoring because Yeongsik moved.
- Yeah. - Teach my younger brother math then.
You could always do it. Why are you asking me?
I just can't teach him.
He just won't listen.
I'm coming in.
You're here?
Hello.
It's my birthday but you were going to be here any way so I didn't tell you.
- Hurry over. - Sit next to me.
- Come here. - Hurry up.
I'm here to tutor so I'll do that.
Hey!
Are you okay?
- Oh, no. - Yeonhui!
Yeonhui, are you okay?
Oh, no...
Why did you use such a slippery cloth?
- Hurry up and clean it. - Okay...
Seoyeong...
Mom...
- It must be her mom. - Oh, my goodness.
- It's her mom? - For real?
Seoyeong!
What are you doing?
Mom... Let me just deliver this first.
- I'll talk to you after. - Get off that scooter right this instant!
Who said you could drop out and do this?
Mom, you're going to spill the food.
Mom!
Do you have any idea how much this is?
Seoyeong, what's wrong with you?
You'll graduate in one semester.
Why would you drop out?
What's the use in graduating high school?
- I can't go to university. - Why can't you?
You can go to one on a scholarship here.
No! Why would I go to a university here?
I'm going to one in Seoul. I'm going to Hanguk University.
Let's go. Let's get you enrolled again.
Mom! I earned $600 a month here.
If I save till next June, I can get Sangu into medical school in Seoul.
What?
I'm going to save money and pay for Sangu's enrollment first.
Then I'm going to save money next year and take the entrance exam.
Seoyeong, did you drop out because of Sangu?
No. I dropped out because of dad.
Because of dad...
I dropped out because of my dad who used loan sharks for himself
and went into hiding by himself!
Seoyeong...
I wonder what she's doing here.
Why didn't you show your face when you were so curious about her?
I'll be seeing her every day from now.
When are you going to tell me the reason why you're keeping secrets?
When will you stop prying and being so nosy?
When will you learn to fix that?
Every human like to pry.
If she sees my face before she signs the contract, she may not work here.
Ah, so that was the answer.
Stop acting like you can read everyone's minds.
Lawyer Ko, I've requisitioned Jeon Taesu's chief.
And I visited the tax office because the inquiry results were out.
You handed in your resignation already?
I thought you were so diligent...
You're seeking hot water under cold ice...
I'm sorry, mother.
Either close the market or quit the real estate.
Pick one or the other.
Are you telling me not to work and support you then?
Hello.
You're here again.
There's something I really need to ask of you.
Me?
This is my show of thanks for helping me out.
What is this?
- Taking care of the car park? - Yeah.
I have a junior that goes to a building maintenance firm.
He says he needs someone to take care of the parking lot.
- It's $1,500 a month. - $1,500?
They give you a 400% bonus plus all medical and insurance benefits.
That means that's being a full-time company employee.
That's right.
I can't do that.
I have a black-listed credit rating.
Why upset me with something like this when you know.
They don't look up your credit information.
Just go and check it out.
- They don't? - They don't.
I asked him to get Manho to the company no matter what without him knowing.
I'll go and visit once he starts work.
I want to tell him how thankful I am.
The more I think of it, the more thankful I am.
The more I think about him, I'm touched.
You can tell he's been through a lot but he's really dignified.
You're touched because he's dignified?
It reminds me of you.
How hard would it be for him to live like that?
Keeping his class even though it's hard for him.
- Excuse me... - How can I help you?
I'm here to see Section Chief Han Jinsu about the parking lot caretaker position.
- Oh, you're here? - Hello.
Nice to meet you.
You said I just had to bring my resume...
Please come this way for now.
Excuse me?
Wait...
- This way. - Okay.
Change into the uniform that fits first.
Right away?
Don't you want to work?
Of course I do.
I'll do my best with whatever you ask me to do with a grateful heart.
Okay...
Mister.
