Producer Kim... I don't want to sell the farm anymore.
What do you mean?
I'm not selling. I'm not selling Ojakgyo Farm.
I don't understand.
Why do you decide on the sale of the farm?
I'm the real owner of this farm.
The owner of the written promise, Ojak, is me.
Don't you understand? The one who lost the promise...
I understand. I completely understand.
That's why it was so detailed.
No wonder there was so much emotion and detail in it.
Yes, so...
Then the mother duck. Why did the mother...
Producer Kim! My point isn't that I'm Ojak.
I'm telling you that I'm not selling the farm.
You're the president of the film company...
I don't want to sell.
I'm the vice-president. Anyway, it's too late.
Have you forgotten? The rest of the money is due today.
They've probably finished with the contract already.
What? That's today?
Yes, Jaeun.
I was going to call you.
I'm at the real estate agency.
Did you sign the contract? Did you get the money?
No, I was running late. I just got here.
What a relief. Then leave the agency right now.
Yes, right now. Quickly! Do it!
Yes, go out right now.
What's the matter?
I've come outside.
What? You're not going to sell the farm?
That's right. I'm not selling.
So you tell them that the contract's cancelled.
Don't receive the rest of the money, okay?
I'm with Producer Kim right now.
I'm going to finish talking to him and call you back.
Don't sell the farm!
Did you hear that? He didn't receive the money.
I'm not selling the farm. I'll return the contract money.
- Is that okay? - If you say so.
- You know cancellation fee is double. - Excuse me?
You have to pay double the contracted amount to cancel.
I'm sure you know that.
Producer Kim! Double?
Go inside first.
I'm going upstairs to look at some files.
- Hyeryeong, time for the meeting! - Okay.
Taebeom...
I know this is a lot to ask.
I can't decide alone without our new business team.
If you want to cancel, just pay double.
To tell the truth... I've already spent the money I've received.
There's no way I can pay back double.
- What? - I'll pay it back.
I'll pay it back. Just give me a few months.
You can't even pay the cancellation fee or the contracted amount...
And you want me to cancel the contract for you?
I won't receive any incentive for "Oduck Family."
This animation could become a huge hit.
Even so, I won't ask for any incentive payment.
I don't want copyright, but I need that...
To make amends for the contract money.
Isn't this a good offer?
Not at all, so take the incentive.
Do a good job so that you deserve it.
- Producer Kim... - I said no. Okay?
Let's not keep talking about this and waste time.
Finish Grandma Goose before you go home tonight.
- Vice-president... - The door's that way.
She passed away from cancer this spring.
She told them not to call.
She hadn't called Taehui for more than 20 years.
She didn't want to leave letting him see her that way.
Taehui cried a lot, mother.
He hasn't cried like that since he was little.
I felt better seeing him cry and let it out.
You should wake up and try to gain strength too.
Seeing you like this makes me feel like I've choked.
I can't do a thing.
I didn't know he blamed me all this time.
I raised him so I thought he'd feel the same.
Or at least he would understand me.
It was all useless.
I thought of him as mine, but I was wrong.
For all this time, I've raised someone else's child.
Mother, don't speak nonsense.
Taehui's your child, no matter what anyone else says.
But as you said, it's all about filial piety.
Of course he missed his mom.
Taehui would never blame you.
If he does, I won't let him get away with it.
It's all thanks to you that he grew up so well.
He should be carrying you on his back, not blaming you.
I mean it, mother.
If he blames you, I won't let him get away with it.
So please get up and try to gain strength.
You're the pillar and center of this family. Please get up.
The house seems off balance. It's a mess.
Mother...
I'm going to make the prawn soup that you like.
I'm going to make dinner. Pick up your strength and
come out to eat later, okay?
You're back. Did you sign the contract?
I couldn't.
Jaeun called me when I was about to receive the money.
She told me she's not selling and not to take the money.
- Why did she do that? - I don't know.
Did mom's words bother her?
They planned to buy this farm. They won't give it up easily.
Hello, Mr. Hwang.
I was curious. I'm at home.
- Why did you do that? - They want the cancellation fee.
Do I have to pay double if I cancel the contract?
- I didn't know about that. - No way.
Don't cancel the contract paying money to do so.
Jaeun, why are you trying to cancel the contract?
What did she say?
I don't know what's wrong but don't worry about grandma.
Sell the farm. Don't worry about grandma.
- Do you understand? - Yes.
I'll call you back once a decision's been reached.
I'm going to work hard on this animation so it succeeds.
Please cancel the contract.
Think of it as taking out an insurance on me.
I'll repay you later.
I'm sorry. I can't do that.
If you don't cancel...
I'm not signing a copyright agreement with you.
Baek Jaeun, do you mean it?
Yes.
Let me ask you once more. Do you mean it?
Yes. I won't sign.
Really? That's unfortunate.
Thank you for the work you've done.
The accounting department will transfer the money for your work tomorrow.
You may go now.
I'm home, dad.
You're in time for dinner.
I'm glad you're here.
I was going to visit you at work if you didn't come.
Hi.
Welcome back.
Guksu, how have you been?
- Taehui... - Mom, I'm home.
You came right on time.
The rice pot just sounded to tell me the rice is done.
It smells good. What's for dinner?
It's the prawn soup that draws mother and Taehui to dinner no matter what!
I knew it. I could smell it.
Your mom's a genius. That's what you wanted, right?
Yes.
If you hadn't come home today,
I would've gone to protest in front of the police station.
Work's important but they really work you too hard.
He doesn't look like he's been working hard.
He looks really fresh and even cleanly shaved.
I shaved to meet grandma.
Yes, go and see her.
Okay.
Grandma.
Grandma, I'm here. Are you feeling ill?
I'm sorry, grandma.
I was mean and rude.
Don't say that.
You didn't do anything wrong. Don't say that.
I deserve to be blamed.
How much would you have missed your mom?
And yet, I cut off all your ties.
No, grandma. I don't blame you.
You're my grandma and my mom.
How could I blame you?
I did it because it was you.
Because it was you... I was being childish.
Who else could I do that too?
- You mean it? - I do.
It's thanks to you I grew up well and can be confident.
That's why I'm the best detective at our station.
It's because I can depend on you.
Because you love me more than anyone else in the world.
Grandma, don't worry. I won't do that again.
No, do it again. As much as you like.
Who else can you do that to?
Get frustrated, complain and be childish. It's okay.
As much as you like. I don't mind.
You can do that...
But I still can't forgive your mother.
I'm sorry to do this to you, but I can't forgive her.
But she's left this world...
I'll try my best to forgive her in my heart.
She gave birth to you, so I will try.
Yes, grandma.
Okay.
Let's find out where she's buried and visit her together.
Okay. That's good.
It's alright now.
You must've been hurt.
No. I told you I'm the best detective at my station.
Grandma, I'm starving.
Mom made prawn soup.
Yes, let's go out and eat.
Grandma's coming out.
Grandma's out at last.
Grandma really loves no one more than Taehui...
Mom, Bokja made prawn soup.
Sit down and have some.
Hana and I came too.
I called them over.
We won't be living here for long so I called them for dinner.
- Grandma, hello. - Hello. Hana, welcome.
I'm glad you came.
Let's all sit down. Don't keep standing.
You're all so tall... It's stuffy and my neck hurts.
- Sit down. - Yes, let's sit.
Mother, try it and tell me how it tastes.
Okay.
You can go down now.
Go down? What does she mean?
Going down the mountain. It means it tastes good.
How does that mean it tastes good?
It means there's nothing else to be taught.
Taesik, I don't think Guksu is your son.
You're right. He's not Taesik's son.
- Let's all eat. - Thank you for the meal.
Have you found a place to move?
Yes, we signed the temporary contract today.
I'm sorry you have to move again because of us.
What can I do?
I'm sad because I won't be able to see you.
Not as sad as I am.
You did your best to help me sell my ducks.
I tried but there were no results...
I'm developing new feed to get rid of the duck smell.
I'm going to find out and catch that smell.
- Shouldn't Guksu go to school now? - Yes, he should.
I'm looking into it but we have to move first.
- I'm going to move out. - Really?
I have to. It was dad's orders.
- Are you looking into a house? - Yes, I am.
The deposit money must be huge. Do you have the money?
- I'm looking for monthly rent. - Monthly rent?
If you pay rent every month, you'll have no money left.
What can I do?
I'm getting old and I have to look after Guksu now.
I can't have dad cursing me for the rest of my life.
I can't face you either.
That's a good idea. You're growing up at last.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
It seems daunting at first but take care of your own son.
Eat up. We can't meet anymore.
I'll raise the money within 6 months and pay you back.
If I can't pay you after 6 months...
I will give up on the farm.
How will you earn that much in 6 months?
Mrs. Hwang and I were developing a new feed.
Once we do, we can sell more ducks.
The farm will be turned into an experience farm by spring.
And I'll have money from our copyright agreement.
I'll also enter various contests.
Are you always so determined and stubborn?
- No. - Then why keep talking nonsense?
I want to explain to you why I don't want to sell the farm.
You may not understand, but please at least listen.
It won't take long.
I grew up alone with my dad.
He's my only family.
Just like in the synopsis, my dad went missing this spring.
Then I found out about the farm.
I went there with the written promise and lost it.
The plan is only until Mrs. Hwang and I became close whilst working on the farm.
However, I didn't lose the written promise.
Mrs. Hwang stole it.
Then she threw me out.
I had no idea and pitched my tent to win her favor.
And followed her around and worked on the farm.
They were the first family that I have ever had.
Mrs. Hwang was the very first person that has felt like a mother to me.
It was the first time I had experienced the joy and bustle of a family.
I felt a mother's nagging and a mother's warm hands.
When I'd go home late...
I realized how moving it is to have a mom who waits for me.
I realized how joyous and exciting it was
to start the day around a noisy breakfast table
with food made by a mother's hands.
To have a mother who asks, "There's something wrong, isn't there?"
at the slightest frown or sigh... I realized what that feels like.
People who live that way everyday don't know it.
That's why I couldn't forgive her.
I wasn't ever going to.
How could she look at me in the eyes and smile all that time?
But when you showed me the plans and the model for the theme park...
Everything changed.
My heart sank when I saw the model.
All those pear trees being cut down...
I couldn't stand thinking about the theme park being built on that land.
I'd only been there for just a few months and I was feeling that way...
And that made me understand how Mrs. Hwang must've felt
when she'd dedicated 10 years of her life there.
I could understand why she stole the written promise.
I was going to do whatever it takes to not understand...
Because once you understand, you have to forgive...
But now I understand.
Now that I understand... It's too hard to hate her.
Mrs. Hwang and her family have come too deep inside my heart...
I miss starting each day at the noisy breakfast table.
I miss them so much that I want to forgive them now.
Please help me.
I was just acting to get Taepil's ex-girlfriend off his back.
Taepil's my store manager and Suyeong's brother-in-law.
He's not even 30. He's much younger.
Do you think I'd do anything remotely close to dating him?
He's handsome. You like handsome men.
He's not your friend. He's cute and he's funny.
He seems quite bright.
He's not brilliant or extremely smart.
- But he does look clever. - In other words, bright.
Suyeong's father-in-law has good sons.
All four sons are so good.
I'm so jealous.
- Leave his eldest out. - Taepil was alright at first.
He's just confused because of this unexpected incident.
I'm not done.
I have nothing more to say. There's nothing going on.
Yes, I believe you.
If I don't believe you, then who will?
- I trust you. - Of course you should.
Have a drink and relax.
I trust you but find a new manager. Get rid of him.
- Yeogyeong. - He's dangerous.
You trust each other, find him interesting...
Most of all, you spend too much time together.
Potential dangers should be removed early.
He's too dangerous to leave next to you.
It's like dynamite being planted in your store.
Get rid of him.
Why are you looking at me like that?
It's like begging a dynamite not to blow up.
Try and plead all you like.
- It won't listen. - That's a little far-fetched.
It is not!
You can't control feelings.
Make him quit. Get rid of him.
Why don't you answer me?
I don't want to. No! I'm not going to!
I can't fire him! I won't get rid of him!
The person I really want to get rid of is not Taepil... It's you!
Hello? Hello?
Why don't you answer me?
Alright. I'll think about it.
Cha Suyeong, don't get silly ideas into your head.
Hwang Taebeom is just late because of work.
Are you still asleep?
No, I'm up. What is it?
I'm coming inside.
Why were you so late last night?
The editing had to be redone. I told you on the phone.
Yes, but you were really late.
- Get up. We have to go to work. - Yes.
- What is it? - Don't you have anything to tell me?
Tell you what?
It's alright.
Jaeun, I think it will be too hard to say this in person...
So much has happened. I can't even say sorry.
I was too weak to guide you during such confusion.
It would be a lie if I said I wasn't greedy over the farm.
I want to live a good life now and so I'm leaving.
I'm leaving the money. Paying off the debt was plenty.
Thank you and sorry.
National goddess, Baek Jaeun! Be happy!
Yunsuk.
Honey! Taepil's the manager of this huge store?
I know. It's a lot bigger than I thought.
You're clever, so I think you understand me.
Yeogyeong... I told you I'd think about it.
I'm sorry but this is as far as we go, right?
As I said earlier, you misunderstood.
I thought you were clever. Why don't you understand?
Whether I misunderstood or not isn't important.
Why make me repeat myself?
I'm angry enough as it is.
- Do you understand? - I'm sorry.
Nam Yeoul is my boss.
I can't quit until the boss fires me.
Excuse me!
What's going on here?
- Mom... - Mr. and Mrs. Hwang, hello.
- Congratulations on your opening. - Hello.
- Hi.
Why are you scolding my precious son?
You can ask him yourself.
I don't even want to say it from my mouth.
Taepil, what is it? Did you make a mistake?
No, it's not like that...
Mom...
What is it? Tell us.
It was a misunderstanding.
In the car, the boss and I...
What did you do in the car with her?
Tell us!
They had their lips together.
In the middle of the day! In the car!
He's done something horrible to my sister.
- Is it true? - No, mom.
We were pretending to kiss to trick someone.
It's true. We didn't do anything.
I was telling him I don't want to see him here.
If they're in the same space, it could happen again.
It's better to prevent...
You shouldn't have done that. You should act like a boss.
How could you be so sly over my young son?
- Mom... - I know he's handsome...
Even so, he's much younger. How could you do that?
You look at least 12 years older than him.
You have no shame.
12 years?
Your son was the one who did it.
Yeoul didn't do anything.
You shouldn't say that, even if she's family.
Ask anyone passing by.
Who made the mistake to whom?
My son is too good for her...
What's wrong with Yeoul?
She went to Parsons The New School for Design in New York.
She's well-off and beautiful plus she has a kind heart. She's perfect.
She's old. What's the use?
She'll be 40 soon. She's over the hill.
What?
What about your son? Men should be successful.
Why would Yeoul approach him? He has nothing.
What? Nothing?
- Stop it. - Mom, stop.
Yeogyeong, calm down.
Please calm down. There's nothing going on.
It was just a show. Nothing happened.
I swear the boss isn't a woman in my eyes.
That's right!
Taepil's not a man in my eyes either.
- No way. - No.
Are you okay? You got hurt rescuing a child, right?
It's alright. The general manager sent me some ginseng.
I'm feeling much better.
Good. He seems to like you.
Many people like me.
You would like premium wild ginseng then.
The CEO sent me that.
- Want a few roots? - No, you should have it all.
I have my youth. I don't need it yet.
I knew I had a good eye.
- The CEO was happy too. - Thank you.
You're like a hero on the web.
The prince of justice asks about justice in society. /spreads justice in society.
That's not true. I just did what I had to do.
I want to continue with this momentum.
Just as Kim Yuna and Park Taehwan rewrote the history of figure skating
and swimming and became so popular. This generation is looking for stars.
To fix our station's image...
IBC will also need a star.
So I was thinking... With the new investigative journalism program...
- "Together with Current Affairs?" - That's right.
Department Head Gong was going to conduct it alone.
How about if you do it together?
The producer and writer have both agreed.
We're on the same boat. Let's work hard.
Please teach me the ropes.
How about starting with previous special reports?
Look for some items that can be reused.
There were some reports that were too long.
We couldn't explore some of them in detail.
We could conduct a deep report for the new show.
- I'll head off first. - Okay.
Isn't that Han Hyeryeong?
I heard she was back.
- Do you know her? - I worked with her once.
I heard she came back to Korea after getting divorced.
Divorced? Han Hyeryeong got divorced?
What is it? Do you know her?
No... I'll be off then.
Taebeom!
Taebeom, wait!
Taebeom.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I left and just came back like this.
At least show me your face. It's been 3 years.
3 years?
Has it only been 3 years?
When did you come back? Why are you here?
Even if you're starting work again, why IBC?
You didn't want to see me ever again.
I missed you.
I realized how joyous and exciting it was
to start the day around a noisy breakfast table
with food made by a mother's hands.
It was the first time I had experienced the joy and bustle of a family.
I felt a mother's nagging and a mother's warm hands.
I miss them so much that I want to forgive them now.
Please help me.
They were the first family that I have ever had.
Mrs. Hwang was the very first person that has felt like a mother to me.
Uyeong, what if we agreed to Jaeun's proposal?
We cannot do that.
Purchasing Ojakgyo Farm was a direct order from the president.
Would mom like this if she knew about it?
She would've stopped him if she were alive.
I would've stopped him if I'd known earlier.
Even so...
He already disapproves of you and the animation work.
Please stop clashing with him.
She may not be able to pay us within 6 months.
Let's give her a chance.
I've decided. Tell Baek Jaeun to come to my office.
She called to say that she's working from home.
Really? Her phone's off...
Okay. You can go.
- This is Seo Dongmin. - Hello, Detective Seo.
I'm Kim Jeha from Good Films. How are you?
Do I know Baek Jaeun's home address?
No. What's the matter?
I see. Visit us sometime.
Yes.
Taehui. Kim Jeha just asked me for Jaeun's address.
Why? For what reason?
He didn't tell me. He just hung up when I said I didn't know.
The number you have dialed is currently switched off...
Hwang Taehui... So you call at last.
- Yes, this is Kim Jeha. - This is Hwang Taehui.
I heard from Seo Dongmin. Why are you looking for Jaeun?
Has something happened to her?
That's why you called? I don't want to tell you.
Lieutenant Hwang.
So as I suspected, there was something between them.
- Yes? - Baek Jaeun's in the studio.
- Should I tell her to go upstairs? - Really?
No, I'll go downstairs.
Are you sure you can raise the money in 6 months?
Yes, I'm sure of it!
No, I'm not confident... But I will do it.
I'll take out an insurance as you suggested.
Forget the cancellation fee.
Pay me the contract money in 6 months and I'll cancel.
But don't borrow or take out a loan with the farm.
Pay me with the money you earn by running the farm.
Can I take out a loan using the farm as security?
You didn't know? It's too late for that.
I can't allow that method.
Alright. Just with money earned from the farm.
Money that I earn is alright, isn't it?
Copyright agreement or contest rewards...
That's alright.
Thank you! Thanks so much!
But there are some conditions.
There are three conditions that you must agree to.
Three conditions? What are they?
First, go on 20 dates with me.
Why? Why me?
I've grown interested in you.
Forget it, if you don't want to.
No... Just dates, right?
Drinking coffee, watching a movie... Those kinds of things, right?
Yes. But it has to be just between us two.
You can't tell Mrs. Hwang or the rest of her family.
Yes, okay. What's the second condition?
I'll tell you the other conditions later.
Why are you looking at me that way?
Well... If your conditions are unreasonable or too strange...
You don't have any trust in me?
Looks like I've wasted my life.
Alright then.
- Thank you. - I'm a businessman.
I don't make losses. I'm going to visit the farm.
I'll see if the feed and farm are coming along well.
Yes, that's fine.
Don't get lazy with this work because of the farm.
You don't have any trust in me either?
Looks like I've wasted my life.
Taxi!
Thank you!
I'm back!
- Not that. The one above. - Above?
These are so old. You still have these?
If the house was larger, you'd keep them for life.
Of course I would. They're perfectly normal.
I'd take them all if the house was large.
There's another one. Pull them all out.
The new house is small. I can't take much.
Yes.
- You can't reach it? - It's planted so deep.
Mr. Hwang. Grandma. Mrs. Hwang.
Isn't that Jaeun's voice?
Is anyone home?
Yes.
Isn't anyone home?
Jaeun!
- How have you all been? - Good. Welcome.
Jaeun, welcome. Have you been well?
I'm happy to see you. You've gotten prettier.
What brings you here?
I have something to say.
Really? Sit down then.
- Mother, sit down. - Yes, let's all sit.
Yes.
Tell us. What happened to the contract fee?
It's about that. I settled it.
I've postponed the contract for 6 months.
Postponed it?
I'm not selling the farm.
So you don't have to move.
That doesn't mean that I've forgiven you.
Anyway, I'm not selling. You don't have to move out.
Really? You're not selling it?
That's right. It's not because of you...
I just changed my mind.
Jaeun, thank you, but there's no need.
We've found a house and signed the contract.
We have to move soon.
Jaeun, rest a while and have dinner.
Let's all get up and finish packing.
Let's all get up.
This is Han Hyeryeong.
She's a writer and she'll be working on "Together with Current Affairs."
Thank you. I'm looking forward to working with you, Team Leader Cha.
Are you going to keep doing "Together with Current Affairs?"
Don't.
- Why not? - Because of Han Hyeryeong!
I'm going to. I will!
I'm firm about this. Let's move.
- I don't want to live here anymore. - But Mr. Hwang...
I feel the same way. I think we should move.
- You're angry, aren't you? - No.
Producer Kim, are you here?
I'll go out right now.
Don't go. Don't meet Kim Jeha.
I don't want you to meet him.
