Cinderella's Sister
Episode 12
Did something happen?
What?
Huh?
What?
Will you...
Will you take me far away from here?
It's okay if I'm not forgiven.
No, I can never be forgiven.
So let's run away.
Run away with me.
Let's run away!
Episode 12
If the planet were square, it'd be so easy to run away.
But why in the world does it has to be circular?
There's no way out.
No matter how much we run, we always wind up returning home.
Don't say something like that again.
You want us to run away?
Okay, let's go.
Let's run away.
Let's go somewhere no one knows us and hide, so no one can find us.
What are you going to do if I say something like this?
If I say I want to go, will you actually go?
With me?
If you're that distressed, what on earth am I supposed to do?!
You just stay still.
Do only what you want to do.
If you want to bow to Hyo Sun's toenails, go ahead.
And if you don't,
act standoffish like you did before.
Be strong and speak your mind. Just be the way you were
Do whatever you want.
Because I'll do the rest.
I...
Because it's my heart, I know it well.
But why are you acting this way?
What unspeakable act did you commit?
To wring your neck at this house like you do?
Do you have something you want to steal?
Like my mom does?
I have something I have to make up for.
If I don't make up for it,
I'm stuck in a state like Dracula where I can't die even if I want to.
For a thousand years, ten thousand years... I'll have to live on.
What is it?
I can't tell you.
I...
Even if I were to run away alone, how would that be?
If you want to do that, go ahead.
If you want to run away alone,
I'll do everything in my power to help you do so.
Where do you want to go?
Huh?
I don't want this.
Don't hold onto me.
It would've been better if you had let me go.
If you did, something like this wouldn't have happened.
Forgive me.
No matter what I do, you're still going to forgive me.
I don't want to have to apologize anymore.
I'll take you wherever you want to go, so get in.
That's right, I knew it.
Oh, you're here?
Ah, I wasn't sure how much of this to make so I was going to go ask you.
We're making as much as we usually do.
I couldn't go wake you up just to ask you.
Little Boss has come out?
You're here early.
Why?
Does Little Boss sound weird to you?
We need to have something to call you
but you're so young that it feels strange to call you President.
Have you come out to prepare for the offering ritual, Little Boss?
Depending on how the offering ritual goes, the taste of the yeast always differs.
We'll only trust in you, Little Boss.
Wow, the weather today is perfect for preparing yeast, isn't it?
- Isn't that so? - It's so beautiful today!
Of course!
I have a feeling the best yeast will be prepared today!
Of course!
Open the window!
Step on it harder!
Aigoo, I am stepping on it hard!
What? That's not hard!
Make sure you don't fall!
Why are you working without gloves on?
Eat something first, you rascal.
Why are you always working so hard?
Yes, please eat.
Because my noona's Do Ga is in trouble, I have to work hard, Ahjussi.
It seems like my Eun Jo noona will wind up starving at any given second.
Hello.
Sit down.
What is your business with me?
Do you remember me?
No, how could I remember you?
Since you said that you used to work at Hyo Sun's house, that's what I figured.
What do you want?
I have a good story on my hands that I wanted to fill you in on.
And so I'm wondering if you'd be able to write an article for us.
Since the contributed piece you wrote didn't garner enough interest,
It didn't garner enough interest?
Yeah. There aren't many consumers
who buy magazines that focus on business and economic issues.
That's not the case for online.
- Online? - There has been some feedback.
Instead of it being Dae Sung Cham Do Ga,
the people are concentrating on the garbage incident with the dumpling restaurant first,
and so there has been more attention focused
toward the garbage incident with the dumpling restaurant.
That's why we're trying to look into writing more about that situation as well.
Ah, okay.
That's a good thing to do, but Dong Soo.
Couldn't you look into writing about Dae Sung Cham Do Ga too?
Since your father works at Dae Sung Cham Do Ga.
have something I'm curious about.
Go ahead, ask me.
Have you discovered the culprit behind the counterfeit liquor?
Yes. He's on probation and needed to pay a penalty fine.
O Green Lord of the East...
O Red Lord of the South...
O White Lord of the West...
O Black Lord of the North...
O Yellow Lord of the Centre...
On this day, May 6th, we ask for the gods to look upon us favorably.
I, owner of Dae Seong Cham Do Ga, Goo Eun Jo,
in earnest prayer, begin the process of making our wine.
We will make several thousand cakes of malted barley.
We take the energy from the 5 directions of the earth to bless the fruits of our labor,
and we bow in earnest for our prayers to be answered.
I'm the junior reporter here.
I saw that you contributed a piece to another magazine and not ours.
The document you contributed has gotten some feedback.
Dong Soo's Chief Editor asked him to seek you out.
Should we start the interview now?
Where do you want to have it?
Should we do it here?
All right.
Hold on a second, let me call over the photographer.
You really thought Hyo Sun's dad didn't know?
He knew about everything.
Even though he knew, he still loved you, Mom.
You, a person who deserves a fate worse than hell... He loved you.
Hyo Sun's dad did.
Mom, dduk (dessert rice cakes) from the ritual is meant to be shared by everyone.
You have to eat some too, okay Mom?
Eat some with me, Mom.
Just like her dad,
Hyo Sun also said that it's fine with her if you don't love her.
Because she loves you, she said nothing bothers her.
Mom. How can a father be like that?
How can a kid be like that, Mom?
Where else in the world are there other people like them?!
It's delicious.
The dduk turned out especially delicious this time.
Since everyone needs to eat it without any exceptions...
Let's eat it when it's warm, Mom.
I didn't eat any yet either.
I told you not to cling.
Mom, since this isn't regular dduk but dduk from the ritual,
it's meant to be eaten by those who have good wishes for this company.
What do you think you're doing?
Are you making fun of me?
Do I seem that easy to you?
Did you not understand me when I told you not to cling?
Do you think I have the patience to tolerate your clinging?!
Mom.
You shouldn't act that way with food.
Are you going to cook?
I'll do it.
Are you going to make soup?
Then you make the soup and I'll get the rice ready.
Where's the rice?
You do it all then!
Huh?
You do it all.
Make the rice, the soup and get the vegetables seasoned too.
Okay, Mom.
I won't be able to vouch for the taste, but I'll cook everything.
Then you go in and get some sleep.
And you have to eat some dduk.
All right?
Wow, she's a fox.
(Has a negative connotation meaning she's manipulative)
She's acted so innocent, but she was a complete fox all along.
And so, the vegetables have grown all soggy.
How are you supposed to steam vegetables?
I steamed them really well, for as long as I could.
You're supposed to blanch vegetables, not steam them.
What's the difference between blanching and steaming?
Aigoo, this won't do.
I'll go cook.
No! No, Grandmother.
I'm going to do it.
Aigoo,
never having cooked anything before,
not even ramen, how do you think you're going to season vegetables?
There are some seasoned vegetables left after the ritual,
couldn't she take some of that for now?
There are some vegetables?
There's some left, Ahjumma?
Ahjumma, thank you!
Grandmother, thank you!
Hyo Sun is home!
Mom...
What is that?
The vegetables wound up all soggy
so I went to go ask Grandmother how to cook them,
but Ahjumma said that there were some left from the ritual.
Grandmother? Ahjumma?
I'm sure I sent them away,
so what grandmother and what ahjumma are you talking about?
T... there were so few people left working at Do Ga,
so Eun Jo...
No, Unni...
I told you to season the vegetables and you didn't want to,
so were you going to put them on the table and take credit for cooking them?
No, Mom.
- That's not it. - And also.
You held back the people that I sent away?
No, Mom!
- I didn't hold them back- - And then you blame Eun Jo for it?
No, Mom.
- I'm not blaming her- - You.
Shut your mouth.
- Huh? - Don't even say a word
because I feel like fainting just at the sound of your voice.
Mom.
Mom!
Let go of me!
Where are they hiding? Huh?!
You dare fool me in such a manner?
Is it acceptable for you to go behind a person's back like this?
What did you think I meant when I told you to get out?!
Don't you know what it means when someone tells you to get out of their home?!
Mom.
Before, all of the ahjussies quit so Do Ga was in desperate need of workers.
Did she hold onto you?
Because her mother was so cruel
she couldn't stand being without her grandmother who raised her,
is that why she held you down here?
Aigoo, this is such a problem.
Because you're making so many assumptions, this is such a huge problem.
Madam, please ask Big Agasshi.
(Agasshi = Young Lady, a respectful title to their employer's daughter.)
Because Big Agasshi asked us to stay here...
Aigoo, Grandmother!
Us workers are hungry!
You should be done already so why aren't you giving us food...
You didn't get out yet, Hyo Sun's Uncle?
Ah w-w-well, y-y-you see...
Mom.
Please.
If Uncle is kicked out of here, he has nowhere else to go, Mom.
Look here, Hyo Sun's Uncle.
You shouldn't act this way.
Whose fault is it that this household has become so pitiful?
Whose fault is it that our Joon Soo's dad left so abruptly?!
How? With what gall?
With what right do you think you're allowed to stay in this house?!
Mom.
Hey! If you have a mouth, speak.
Are you a fool?!
You still don't know why your dad is gone?
If your uncle hadn't caused such an accident!
Mom!
Let go of me, you bitch!
Why do I have to be dragged into my own house, Bitch?!
Aigoo, let go!
Aigoo!
What prideful nonsense
are you going to spit out now to look at your mom with such a death glare?
Did I say something wrong?
Who are you to hold back all he people I kicked out?
Mom. You're on my side, right?
- You're not on Hyo Sun's side, right? - What?
You said that if you, Joon Soo and I put our inheritances together,
it amounts to three and a half times Hyo Sun's portion?
Does Hyo Sun have to get that much?
Hyo Sun is a fool.
If we subtly take advantage of her, we can wind up with everything.
She's a fool.
No matter how much you shove her away,
she says that having you is better than not having a mom at all.
You think I told you to treat her well because I can't take on a thing like her?
The way you're treating Hyo Sun right now...
Kicking out Hyo Sun's uncle and the kitchen ladies...
The great-aunt and all of the other elders of this family know already.
Once the elders start making a fuss about this,
the inheritances that we were given
will get smaller and smaller.
What kind of bullshit is that?
What do the elders have to do with this household?
Dae Sung Cham Do Ga is no longer ours, Mom.
Because we couldn't repay the elders back the money we borrowed from them,
we allotted shares of Dae Sung Cham Do Ga to each and every one of them.
When?!
Do you think that's the worst of it?
If you keep treating Hyo Sun and the workers badly,
the elders will take Hyo Sun's side and it will only be a matter of time
until our inheritances have dwindled away to nothing.
The mountain gravesite and farmland
are all under their name too.
Don't you think we have to look after that as well?
If we decide we want to sell that land but Hyo Sun disagrees,
we won't be able to sell it.
R... really?
Stop treating Hyo Sun badly, Mom.
Because you keep acting that way, no matter how much I want to lash out at her,
because I'm a rock head like you say, I can't do that.
And so you need to play your part on my behalf, okay?
Do you not understand what I'm saying?
I'm saying Hyo Sun has a whole lot we can steal from.
Noona.
Let's go to the hospital.
I think you need to get checked out.
It's nothing like that.
It's not that.
It's because my chest feels tight.
She told me not to cry. Eun Jo.
She must not like it when people cry.
It's okay.
She doesn't rebuff me.
There are even times when she's friendly.
But still...
I'm so frustrated, Oppa.
Why do you think I was born like this, Oppa?
I miss Dad so much, Oppa.
I miss him so much I could die.
You can't cry because Eun Jo told you not to?
Cry.
Your chest feels tight because you're not crying.
Cry.
You're with me right now.
Is that okay?
You're with me right now.
You can make noise.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Hyo Sun.
Nurungji Makgeolli, 1,500 won.
(Nurungji is toasted rice that has hardens and almost becomes like crackers.)
Place of Production, Nurungji Do Ga.
You're not going to ask me how I was while I was away?
You said you were going to train for the army reserves. I'm sure you were fine.
Bok Boon Da Makgeolli, 1,800 won.
Place of Production, Dong Shin. Type is aged makgeolli.
You're still wearing Bread around, right?
Bread!
I'm asking if you still wear Bread!
Soo Da Makgeolli, 1,700 won.
Place of Production, Soo Da Makgeolli.
Jo Won Soo Makgeolli, 1,800 won.
Tell me if you're in need of money, okay?
How much money could you possibly have to always offer me some?
It's yours.
What's this?
I won it playing Go Stop* (*Korean card game)
What?!
I was just kidding.
Have you not been eating?
Your face looks so thin, woman.
Get up right now.
What are you doing?!
We have a ton of things we need to do!
I'm just telling you to eat while you work!
Are you going to keep fooling around like this?
I told you not to fool around!
You shouldn't fool around either.
- What? - I told you already.
I don't know about anything else, but I won't let it slide if you miss meals.
Follow me.
Come on.
Welcome.
Unni!
What kind of relationship do you two have?
Relationship? Please.
Song Eun Jo is Han Jung Woo's woman forever. What was that bat about?
Ah, that's...
If you're done eating, let's go.
No.
Why aren't you finishing your rice?
Remember? You and I always need to finish our rice.
Hyo Sun, eat.
Eat a lot.
You're as thin as a reed. What is this?
Hyo Sun is home.
You're home, Hyo Sun?
Did you eat dinner already?
We did.
Ah, really?
Then you should wash up and go to bed.
Just go to sleep.
I just want to say "hi" to Mom.
You already did.
Just go to sleep.
Are you that happy because Mom isn't getting angry at you?
Is it obvious?
It makes me a little nervous.
It makes me a little nervous...
But happy too.
This is the only one that's just right.
What did you say?
The rest of them taste different.
How can that be?!
The same yeast was used to make all of them!
It means that the yeast produced different tastes.
It's okay.
We've still succeeded.
The only thing we have to do is research how to produce the right taste.
The makgeolli made of nature.
Dae Sung Cham Do Ga Makgeolli.
The makgeolli made of nature.
Dae Sung Cham Do Ga Makgeolli.
The makgeolli made of nature.
Miyura-san has rescinded on the contract.
If we are to be exact, she refuses to stamp it.
What are you saying?
She said there's a problem with the makgeolli.
What problem?!
Instead of saying that there's a problem with Hong Joo Ga's makgeolli,
she says that she's decided to go for a better quality makgeolli.
A better quality one?
Last time, Dae Sung Cham Do Ga...
The half shipment that was sent to Japan
was widely distributed to several avenues.
- The reception... - The reception is what?
It's a complete hit.
It's a complete hit, you say?
It's gotten so popular
that the younger generation of Japan
has been searching for Dae Sung Cham Do Ga's makgeolli almost as a trend.
And the model for their promotional advertisement
for TV and in magazines, their younger daughter,
has become a celebrity to them.
So much that it can be referred to as fandom.
Didn't you report
that they hadn't completely succeeded with their yeast research?
The yeast that Dae Sung made was all gone,
and for his children to come up with a new batch, didn't you say that it was unlikely?
So how is it that Dae Sung Cham Do Ga has been able to receive new orders?
I've heard that Ki Hoon has come to an agreement with Miyura-san.
Ki Hoon has asked for their sponsorship
so they can obtain the best equipment to perfect the yeast they have been developing.
Miyura-san is seriously considering it.
And what were you doing to allow this to happen, Project Director?
What were you doing?!
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
We'll try to come to a decision quickly and let you know soon.
Let's do it.
Let's borrow the machine.
Your yeast wasn't a failure.
All we have to do is figure out the conditions
in which the yeast will produce the right taste.
Let's do it.
This kind of opportunity could be called heaven-sent.
Eun Jo yah.
Are you listening?
Eun Jo yah.
What if...
I fail again?
Eun Jo yah.
And we wind up
with even more debt from accepting the machine?
That won't happen.
Those people conduct business in a professional manner.
Do you think they'd come to this kind of agreement without being completely certain?
Believe in yourself.
Believe in yourself!
I believed in myself and fooled around...
That's how everything turned out this way.
You still have to repay Ahjussi's mercy through this medium.
I don't have anything.
I'm envious of you because you have a way.
He'll like it.
Ahjussi will.
Don't do this.
This... Please don't.
We have to give them an answer quickly.
You've come to a decision, right?
The risk of further debt is too high.
If we go through with this,
it'll be the same as negating the profit we make from the first exportation.
We have to sacrifice that much.
You should know that.
I still can't trust this.
What if it turns out to be another fraud like last time?
This isn't like that.
Why did I do nothing?
Why did I not find out who did it...
Why they did it...
Why was I sitting still and not trying to find out?
Eun Jo yah.
I'm going to find out.
No matter what it takes, I'm going to find them.
What is this?
I'll do it.
I'll find out.
It'll be better for me to do it.
No, I'm going to do it.
I'll do it.
The reason why I have to be the one to do it... I'll tell you in due time.
What do you mean?
Make the yeast samples quickly.
Make a lot of them.
Have them ready to send to Japan in a moment's notice.
If we succeed,
it'll take one or two months if we do it quickly,
and six months max, but Dae Sung Cham Do Ga will be back on its feet.
If that happens, then I-
Get in.
I'll take you to the research lab.
Turn your face slightly please.
Still?
We're done.
We're done, right?
But why was I being photographed, Dong Soo?
You see at the very end of our magazine there's a picture of something reading it?
You're the next issue's cover.
Ah.
You can leave now.
There's no reason for you to stay here.
If...
If we found out
who was behind the exportation scam in Japan,
what their reasons were,
if we find out everything,
what are you going to do with those people?
I don't know.
I guess I'll find the strength to get on with my life.
The hate that'll course through me whenever I remember the faces of the culprits
will give me the strength to live.
I'll hate them without getting tired of hating them.
That'll be enough for me.
Using the hate I feel for those people,
I'll live well until the day I die.
Go on now.
What?
Huh?
What?
What are you doing right now?
My friend and I run a business together.
It hasn't been long since we've started it.
What?
Look around.
If you get Dae Sung Cham Do Ga back to where it was before,
- you can sell it here too. - Huh?
It'll be good for you.
Although it hasn't been long since we opened, we have a lot of customers.
You're not a reporter?
I thought you were a reporter.
Haven't you heard of having two jobs?
Aren't you going to leave?
I'm done with what I needed to say. Hurry up and leave.
What's the problem with my meeting that child?
What reason would you have to meet her?
You don't need to know that.
What motive do you have?
Stop interfering now.
Please leave them alone!
Do you have the right to say that to me?
Leave them alone?
Did you go back to Dae Sung Cham Do Ga with the intention of leaving them alone?
If you meet with Eun Jo, what are you going to say?
I was considering telling her what you did.
What did you say?
If I do that, then I'll have to tell her what I did as well.
But I don't care.
I'm still on the verge of losing everything.
Ki Jung's mom is preparing divorce papers.
It looks like I'll need to hand over my shares as alimony.
If my shares go to Ki Jung's mom,
that means they'll effectively be Ki Jung's.
Then Hong Joo Ga will become Ki Jung's possession.
I came to repent for my sins since I'm about to lose everything anyway.
Father.
What?
Can't I do that?
Don't do this.
Don't do anything!
I heard you got some good news from Japan.
It was all your doing, right?
If you don't want me to meet that child Eun Jo,
take my side.
If we succeed,
it'll take one or two months if we do it quickly,
and six months max, but Dae Sung Cham Do Ga will be back on its feet.
Who are you?
Hand over Dae Sung Cham Do Ga whose debts are climbing higher and higher to me.
Then I'll take care of the rest.
That's the best way for me to not be made helpless by Hong Joo Ga.
I refuse.
Then I'll have no other choice.
Except for me to seek out that child Eun Jo.
When will we be able to start using the machine?
Huh?
I thought you wanted to borrow it.
I'm agreeing to that.
If it's possible, have them send it over quickly.
I prepared it so the samples can be made at a moment's notice.
All right.
Eun Jo yah.
Never mind. All right.
Are you getting in now?
She told us to come back to the house all of a sudden.
Madam did.
I see.
What about Ahjummoni?
I came too.
He's always that rude, isn't he?
This is funny, isn't it?
Joon Soo, you should go to sleep now.
I don't want to!
Hurry up and sleep!
Aren't you going to sleep?
Okay, I just want to watch this.
Ah right, Mom?
Yeah?
Jang... who was it?
Jang... Jang...
Ah, do you know a man named Jang Taek Geun?
Who?
Do you or don't you?
I don't. Why?
You don't? Then forget it.
Before there was a man that I saw while I was coming home and- Oh!
What kind of man that what?
Mom, why?
It's funny.
What kind of man that what?
Ah...
A man was asking
if Jang Taek Geun's noona
Song Kang Sook lived here.
And so I told him that my mom has no relatives and that he had the wrong house.
Oh you did the right thing. I don't have any relatives.
Go on and sleep. I'm tired.
Okay. Sleep well.
All right, you sleep well too.
I know that you don't find me lovable.
But
for treating me well...
Thank you.
I'll do well so that later on
you'll hug me because you want to, Mom.
If we find out what their reasons were,
if we find out everything,
what are you going to do with those people?
I guess I'll find the strength to get on with my life.
The hate that'll course through me whenever I remember the faces
of the culprits will give me the strength to live.
Using the hate I feel for those people, I'll live well until the day I die.
What?
Before you tell her, Father, I'm going to confess first and end this once and for all.
If I tell her first, you'll be the only one who'll be ruined.
All I'll need to do is wait with my heart feeling refreshed.
I didn't know that that was the best way to prevent you or Hyung to
to get your hands on Dae Sung Cham Do Ga.
Sleep well...
Father.
I'm going to Eun Jo now.
You're done, Father.
Open the door.
Open the door!
Open the door, Eun Jo.
Eun Jo yah!
Eun Jo yah! Open the door.
Eun Jo yah!
