Jia isn't your only daughter?
No.
[Episode 12] Do you want to see her picture?
She's pretty and has big eyes
just like you.
How can you two be stuffing your faces?
Mom.
Listen, mister.
Why did you deceive me?
Why did you
pretend to be rich?
Why did you lie?
But I never lied to you.
What are you talking about now?
You stay out of this.
Let's settle the bill
as listed here.
The cost of the room and board
is listed here,
so pay up.
What's the matter with you?
Why did you bring
these conniving ragamuffins here?
Then, I'll have to pay Maru back for the ring.
That's for you to settle.
This is my pub and my room.
They're not yours to dole out.
Bom, it's okay.
The adults will discuss this.
But still, Mr. Choi...
Yes, that's right.
I won't let you use my daughter to
mooch off me anymore.
What will you do about
the room and board I provided?
We'll move out right away.
But...
You have nowhere to go.
You'll just do a runner then?
How would you like me to pay you?
Truth is, I don't have any money.
Dad...
Do we have to live here like this?
Why does dad have to be humiliated by
that ignorant, crass woman?
Do you know what she did to me earlier?
She made me remove my jacket.
What are you talking about?
Oh, um...
Anyway, I can't stay here anymore.
Why did she make you remove your jacket?
Never mind.
Like you can do anything about it.
Did you cause trouble?
Of course not.
That's not important right now.
Let's figure out how we'll get out of here.
I thought you and dad would take care of me.
But if I set my mind to it,
I can get a high-paying part-time job.
Enough with your nonsense.
You're going back to school.
School?
Are you kidding me?
How is that feasible when we don't even
have a place to stay?
We can't even feed ourselves right now.
I found a part-time job,
and I'm looking for a room for us,
so do as I say.
How can I count on you?
Darn it! You're no different from dad.
I'll charge 50% of the going motel rate.
And you ate your fill when I wasn't around,
so that's three meals a day.
Toilet, water, and
the clothes I gave you
are all listed here,
so pay up.
Geez, mom.
You shouldn't
let them take advantage of you.
How do you know the ring
isn't some dinky old copper knockoff?
I wouldn't put it past these people.
They baited you with nothing
to suck you dry like leeches.
Mom, please watch what you say.
I'll work off my debt.
I'll work here at the pub
to pay you back.
You will?
Yes.
Please let me do that.
Then look this over
and figure out the grand total.
Mom, did you let them stay so you could do this?
I never told them to stay.
You had to be nosy and gullible
and threw a tantrum,
so I had no choice.
Why are you looking out for them anyway?
Because I owe them...
Stop droning on about that when there's no proof.
Wait. Are you interested in his spindly son?
Mom!
Stop making things up.
Come to your senses.
If you're nice to losers like them,
they'll suck you dry.
And honor our agreement.
You should be working
around the clock to
pay off your father's debt,
not cleaning up other people's mess.
The monthly repayment is due soon.
I know. I know!
Good grief. Good grief.
Mr. Choi.
I'm sorry, Mr. Choi.
My mom's a bit high-strung these days.
Don't worry about this.
Bom,
your mother is right.
I must repay my family's debt.
But still...
This way, we can stay here with a peace of mind.
I know what you mean,
but we should recalculate this.
It seems like
my mom's trying to rip you off.
Bom, don't concern yourself over that.
Can I offer you a tip regarding my mother?
She knows she's uneducated, so she loves it
when she's told
that she's intellectual.
Try it when her nagging gets very bad.
Bom.
Bom,
sympathizing is for those who can afford it.
Letting us stay in this dingy place
doesn't make you better than us.
Jia, stop it.
Stop what?
I haven't even started.
Bom, you must think little of us given
our current circumstances,
but what you have
is nothing compared to what we once had.
What I spent on my purses alone
could buy a grubby pub like this.
You're making a fool of yourself.
Be quiet.
We're moving out soon,
so have the money ready for the lost ring.
Give me my purse.
Okay. I will.
Don't take what she said to heart.
Kicking out those mooches is
proving to be difficult.
Maybe this is for the better.
We do need help at the pub.
I don't know what that widower used to do,
but he's a good kitchen help.
I'll get my money's worth
before I kick them out.
She had such a tiny waist.
I hope it didn't snap.
What are you mumbling about so forlornly?
I only put up with you because
you're my brother.
What's wrong with you?
Are you sick?
No.
Hey.
What's gotten into him?
He's not his usual self.
I don't want Aran to be lonely anymore
because you're being unreasonably hopeful.
Your heart has been consumed by Paran,
leaving no room for Aran.
Are you implying I ignored Aran in any way?
No matter what you say,
I'm focusing only on Aran.
And transferring shares to Paran?
You gave company shares to
a child that went missing 20 years ago,
but I am disregarded
even though I put my all into the company.
Why are you so unsympathetic to your sister?
You made me this way.
No matter how hard I try,
Paran always comes first for you.
Your sister says it's hard because of you.
Paran, I failed to be there
neither for you nor your sister.
Why are you still up?
Mom, I overheard you and dad talking.
I'm not taking dad's side,
but do as dad says and get closure on Paran.
I don't want to be a jealous sister anymore.
I want to have nothing but love for
my baby sister I can no longer see.
Isn't that what's best for her?
Geez.
Good grief.
I told you to stop.
Why are you being nosy again
when all you get for it is reproach?
You silly girl.
Do you know what's going on in there?
Aran's siding with her dad over her mom.
We're all set now.
We've won Aran over.
That's right. That's right.
That's right.
My goodness. Aran, my dumpling.
I knew it.
I knew you were warm inside
despite your glacial countenance.
That's right.
You need to look out for your dad.
If you don't take his side, who will?
You have it all wrong.
I know. I know.
Your anger toward your dad is deep-rooted.
But keep reflecting on his standpoint like this,
and his tears for you will warm your heart.
Oh, gosh. Aran...
Dream on, mom.
I now get why King Yeongjo locked up his own son.
I had no choice but to nail his door shut.
How...
How will I make him come to his senses?
Good grief.
What is that?
What in the world is he doing?
An Suho!
What are you doing?
An Suho!
What?
Did I lock you up for you to do this?
You're being punished,
so show some contrition!
Why should I be contrite?
Is it wrong of me to pursue my dream?
You and dad are on the wrong here.
How dare you?
If you keep this up,
I can't live here.
I'll be on my own from now on,
so don't stop me.
Suho.
Hey, where are you going?
Hey!
Suho.
Suho. Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, fine.
Why are you being like this?
What do I have to do to get through to you?
Should I beg and plead?
Why are you being so dramatic?
It's my fault for doing a poor job of raising you.
I shouldn't have yielded
when you threw tantrums as a kid.
I should have beat some sense into you.
Leave me alone!
Mom.
An Suho!
Taeho.
Come with me.
Why? Why should I?
Come in here right now!
The docile ones are much scarier
when they lose it.
What if Taeho loses it with Suho?
When did you back from Canada?
It's been a while.
And you didn't bother letting us know?
No one listens to me anyway.
So you come home only to
get rowdy in front of mom?
I didn't get rowdy.
Mom just won't listen to me.
Are you blaming mom?
Forget about it.
You're just the same.
A nerd like you won't understand.
I'm always the problem, aren't I?
So I'm leaving.
I'll leave to do music and live the life I want.
If you're serious about music,
you should talk to mom and dad
and get their permission.
You can't just throw a tantrum like this.
You know that's what I do,
so get over it.
Mom went out of her way to send you to Canada.
Did I ask her to?
Mom and dad forced me
to go for their convenience.
I was an embarrassment to them,
so they sent their loser son to Canada.
How can you say that?
What's wrong with you two?
Is this why
I gave birth to you boys?
How dare you fight in front of me?
Both of you, get on your knees!
I did a poor job with the both of you.
Why can't you
coax and comfort your little brother?
Instead, you two go off at each other.
I know. It's my fault. It's all my fault.
Darn it.
It's not like we can just squeeze it out.
Geez.
What choice do we have
but to pretend we're working?
Truth is, we know this is meaningless.
All Ms. Choi cares about is performance.
I know.
Like Ms. Choi said, it would be good
to use artificial flavoring to cut costs
and use the money saved
on an all-out marketing campaign.
Let's just do as Ms. Choi says.
Yes.
We're powerless anyway if
the princess of Punggildang wants it done.
I'm sure there's a reason Ms. Bae
put us in charge of the project.
That worries me.
I heard the staff talking.
Is it true last quarter's new wine
will be re-released with
artificial flavoring?
We haven't made any decisions yet.
But I do want this product to
become a symbol for Punggildang.
Mom, our demise is only a matter of time if
we insist on following only traditional methods.
But how can we preserve our identity
if we add something artificial to our wine?
Don't worry.
It's just one of the many ideas
that have come up.
I won't do anything to undermine
the company you built.
I know this project is a lot of work.
It's...
It's my job to do what's best for the company.
I count on you more than anyone else.
I'm honored hat
you feel that way.
So I was hoping you'd come up
with a test product using
artificial flavoring.
Pardon?
You're really thinking of doing that?
If this goes well,
you will be rewarded.
Don't even let our team know about this.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
I'll do my utmost
to make sure I don't let you down.
Mr. Choi, we're making kimchi today, so...
Oh, right.
I salted the cabbages last night
and seasoned them earlier,
so please taste it.
But I never asked you to...
You don't know how much of what goes in...
Geez.
Why? Is it awful?
Do we have to chuck it?
Geez. Why did you have to...
Why go and...
How did you make this, Mr. Choi?
It's 130 times tastier than yours.
Be quiet.
I got quality napa cabbage this time.
The fridge and tables need to be tidied.
Yes.
This is amazing.
What a busy bee.
Hello.
I thought you weren't working here anymore.
Why are you here?
To make sure I'm not mean to
your precious guest?
It's not that.
I dropped by on my way out to look for a job.
You remember our agreement, right?
The repayments start this month.
I can't stand people who
don't keep money-related promises.
Okay, I'm going.
I'm off to make money.
But you said yesterday I had the job.
How can you fire me just because
my partner decided to quit?
Can't you pair me up with someone else?
Pardon?
Wait. Hello?
What was that about?
Did you find a job?
No.
What was the job?
It was a 2-person job,
but my partner dropped out,
so they don't want me anymore.
The hourly rate was really high.
Really?
Couldn't you do with me?
With you?
No.
They say two men just barely manage.
You know me.
I carried you on my back.
Call them back and
say you found a partner.
Come on.
We're doing janitorial work at Punggildang?
Do you know this place?
No. Let's just work.
It's just a part-time gig,
so who cares where we work?
All we need to do is work and get paid.
I heard the work here is tough.
Are you sure you can handle it?
Here you go again.
I have to do this to repay you
and pay off our family debt.
You can take your time
repaying us for the ring.
Kang Maru, what did I tell you?
Didn't I tell you
to keep your head on straight?
You should be chasing me around
to make sure I repay you,
not telling me to take my time.
Fine.
I'll chase you to the end of the earth.
Oh, right.
I have to call home.
It's here. Let's go.
Okay.
The 9-a.m. meeting materials
will be on your desk.
Looks like someone dropped their phone.
I'll take it.
I'll take care of it.
Thank you for the sample.
Like you said, the aroma and taste aren't
that different from the all-natural version.
Let's use the artificial flavoring
and re-release the wine.
Don't brief Ms. Bae yet though.
Okay. Good night.
Wow. Keeping it strictly under wraps?
You won't even let Ms. Bae know?
You haven't gone home yet?
How can I leave when
you're still working?
Let's head out.
I have to pull an all-nighter again.
You can't be holed up in here right now.
Don't you know what happened?
What happened?
Come on. Let's go.
You must see for yourself.
What is it?
Is something wrong?
You'll see.
Let's go.
So what's the problem?
What's this?
What do you think?
This will do for an R&R date, right?
I knew you'd protest to
going anywhere far.
Taeho,
we can't afford to do this right now.
Do you know what you need?
You need rest. Rest.
You need to rest so that you can
think and work.
The presentation is in two days.
Here you go again.
Let's go sit.
Do you remember?
When we first started working here,
we said we had to try all the wines
and ended up passing out here.
Then we got a cold
and missed work for two weeks.
If we had this warm instant noodles,
we wouldn't have gotten sick.
How about it?
Let's drink away like we did back then.
You haven't changed one bit.
We're drinking all these tonight.
Ready?
Here.
Oh, right.
What is it?
I left something in my office.
What?
The samples the lab sent me.
Oh, that?
Have the noodles.
I'll go put them away.
It's your top-secret project.
I'll keep them safe.
They make a great couple.
I thought she had left it here.
Excuse me.
Who cleaned Ms. Choi Aran's office?
I did.
Did you see a wine sample on the desk?
I'm not sure.
I was told not to touch anything on the desk,
so I stayed clear.
You did?
But I did toss out the empty bottles on the table.
What did you do with them?
Here?
Is Bom done cleaning here?
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I... Um...
Did you throw out the bottle that was here?
I wasn't assigned to this office.
If you weren't,
why are you in here?
My colleague...
What will you do about the missing samples?
What if our project is breached?
What will you do about it?
The recipient is unavailable.
The poor thing up all night cleaning.
He's too busy to even pick up.
The recipient is unavailable.
What's keeping Bom?
Where's your sister?
She's on her way.
Tell her she can't use her job
to get out of her morning chores.
Okay.
And you should stop lazing about.
Earn your keep.
If you're incompetent, you should
at least be diligent.
Look at your sister.
She can get by
anywhere because she works hard.
You nagging
never stops.
I'm going to sleep.
I told her not to take on
any late-night jobs.
It's not over there?
I'm sorry.
I was told to clean up anything on the floor.
Let's keep looking.
Isn't this it?
Huh? Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
What a relief!
I thought I was getting fired.
Thank you.
What about your clothes?
I'm fine.
I'm just glad we found that.
I'm sorry, but I have to go.
Someone's waiting for me.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
It won't happen again.
You can't leave
until we find that sample.
Just give it back to me now.
Are you accusing me of stealing?
Like I said,
I don't even know what it looks like.
Do you expect me to believe you?
You were the only one in here.
Aran.
Taeho, that's...
I found it.
Where...
I'm sorry.
You can go now.
Okay.
Why were you parading that around?
Don't worry.
Your top-secret wine hasn't been compromised.
No one saw it, so it's fine.
What?
That wretched thing
hasn't made breakfast
because I've gone
easy on her for a few days.
How dare she?
Oh Bom.
Where's your sister? Where is she?
I don't know.
She didn't come home last night.
What?
She never came home?
She's not answering her phone either.
Maybe something happened.
So that wretched girl spent the night out?
But it's such a scary,
dangerous world out there.
Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
Why won't she pick up?
Hey, have you seen Bom?
Why are you asking me about Bom?
She never came home last night.
It's obvious what happened.
She ran away again,
unable to bear your badgering.
She's done it once.
She left home. Yes, indeed.
What are you saying?
Stop hitting me.
Good grief.
I'm convulsing.
You're here early.
Say, have you seen my daughter?
Pardon?
Have you seen Bom?
Yesterday...
Not yesterday. I mean today.
That wretched thing will
get it from me when she comes home.
Mr. Choi,
is your son awake?
I have to ask him something.
He never came home last night.
What?
Your son spent the night away?
Yes, to work.
So they were together?
Good job.
I had to search through trash,
and you got chewed out.
It was my fault, so I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
I got to work thanks to you.
I'm grateful.
Don't you think it's a good gig?
They pay you right away.
So you've developed a taste for money.
I need to save up
to find a place for my family.
That's good thinking.
You must work hard and save up
to be freed of my mom's ill treatment.
That's not how I see it.
I'm grateful to your mom.
Hey, I know better, okay?
Why don't we raise a toast
to our new partnership?
Okay.
Cheers.
Get some sleep.
- You too. / - I will.
Mom.
Where were you all night?
We...
What in the world were you two up to?
Ms. Lee, last night...
Scoundrel.
Ms. Lee!
Mom, what was that for?
I raised you to be better than this.
You're just the same.
Mom!
