Episode 7
Bom!
My goodness, Bom!
Bom.
Goodness me. Bom!
My dear girl!
Mom.
How can you run away from home
just because I scolded you?
How would
I have carried on?
Let's go, okay?
Let's talk at home.
You told me to leave.
You can't make me stay.
I'm not going.
You're so sensitive.
No, no.
Okay, okay.
I'm sorry,
so let's talk at home, okay?
Let's go.
Come on, my child.
Come.
Home at last.
I'm so relieved you're back.
How could you take such a drastic measure?
I was upset
and said some things
I didn't mean.
You always tell me to leave,
so I thought you meant it.
How can you be... such a baby.
That's because you're the pillar of our family.
Who else can I count on but you?
Don't you know how I really feel?
It upsets me every time you say
mean things to me.
Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
It's all my fault, okay?
Mom, you're bleeding.
I'm fine. It's no big deal.
It doesn't matter if I'm hurt.
This is nothing.
Let me see.
It's okay.
Let's go in. Let's go in.
Come on.
Mom.
Why didn't she disinfect it at least?
It must sting.
That wretch.
She's weakening my resolve.
What am I going to do about all this?
Running away?
You're not cut out for it.
I'm glad you're back.
You have nowhere to go.
Leaving home is a huge pain.
Don't take what mom says to heart.
Good night.
I'm a senior.
I must study.
Ow, ow.
Ow. Ow, ow, ow.
My back. My back.
That's enough.
You should really go.
I thought it was only on TV that you get
beaten up by your daughter-in-law.
Who knew it'd happen to me?
When did I ever beat you up?
If Jeonggi's late father saw this,
he would've felt so sorry for me.
Honey.
You need a husband in old age
to command respect.
Where's my mom?
Inside.
Why is she here anyway?
Ask her yourself.
Mom,
what happened?
Goodness gracious.
Do you know what Gukhui did to me?
I know she hates me,
but she pushed me and
then just left me to suffer.
You're being ridiculous.
I don't know what's going on, but let's go.
Why are you in Gukhui's room?
What's wrong with you?
Your mother was pushed.
Shouldn't you ask me if I'm okay?
Geez. You look fine.
Let's get going.
What you're doing
won't mend the ties
that were severed 20 years ago.
The show you're putting on is useless.
How dare you call your aging mother a liar?
I really broke my hip.
I can't take a single step.
Just look.
Good grief. Okay, fine.
We'll get you to a doctor then.
Say, does Jeonggi know
you're here?
Your brother will throw a fit.
He shoved divorce papers in
Gukhui's face.
He'll hate it
if he finds out about this
given his personality.
So why meddle in their marital affairs?
We'll let them figure it out.
Please let's just go, okay?
Come on. Come on.
Let go. Let go.
What do you think you're doing here?
Let go.
We're leaving, Gukhui.
No.
We're not leaving.
I was injured here.
I won't leave until I get better.
No one will know how much pain I'm in.
Please, mom. I'll take you to a hospital.
My assailant is here, so why
would I go to the hospital with you?
Oh, my goodness.
My little lamb is here.
Aran.
What are you doing?
Good heavens.
You're so heartless.
Can't you see I'm injured?
Do you know what your mom did to me?
She pushed me...
Stop harassing us.
Dad's caused us enough pain.
Why are you doing this?
Where's your conscience?
Mom's a handful.
What does she expect to do here?
You shouldn't be like this.
Your mom is not related by blood,
but you are.
Where did you come from?
I brought your father into this world.
You're my eldest granddaughter.
You shouldn't forget that.
Why should I care?
- Oh, my goodness. / - Jeonggi.
Why are you here, my dear son?
Please take your mother home.
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
Why are you sorry?
Who drove you to leave
and start a new family?
You didn't leave your child over an affair.
Gukhui lost your little girl
and took it out on you,
so you left because
you couldn't take it anymore.
That's enough, mom.
Let's go.
Jeonggi, let's get her out of here.
Come on, mom.
So you had no choice but
to find solace with your second wife.
How is that a crime?
Please, mom!
Your second wife died before
you could marry her.
And now you're a widower.
Don't you think that's unfair?
Mom.
It's all because Gukhui refused to divorce you.
If you want to be his wife,
you should fulfill your duty.
What kind of a wife are you?
You couldn't take care of your husband
and you refused to divorce him.
Ultimately, you ruined my son's life.
Please let's go.
I'm not going anywhere.
This is our house.
This is my son's house.
I can't leave.
Please take grandma out of here!
Don't ever come back!
Come on. Come on.
Let's go.
Let go!
I'm sorry.
I'll make sure you won't have to...
Just look at that little wretch.
She takes after her mother
and is heartless as can be.
Good grief. You really are a handful.
What were you thinking
turning to Gukhui for help?
You were way off, mom.
I'm not doing this for my sake.
It's all for Jeonggi.
Why did you bring up Hyeonsuk?
Never mind. Be quiet.
Let's go.
We'll go to your house
and come up with a plan.
The thing is, mom...
His house has been seized.
What?
It did?
So that's what happened?
Oh, well.
A man must experience failure
to go on to do great things.
Then let's go to your house.
Don't tell her. Don't tell her.
Mom, her place was also...
Did you get yourself into another mess
when you only just got divorced?
What mess...?
Ow!
Worthless idiots!
I may be old and frail, but I must
take care of my family.
I'm still their mother and grandmother.
Grandma,
why are you still up?
I don't get why your father keeps you around.
(Employment)
Hello?
I saw your ad.
You're looking for a part-timer, right?
Do you have experience?
Um...
No, I don't. But I can work hard...
Never mind.
I know I can do it.
Get out of the way.
- I'm sorry. / - Move.
What do you want, kid?
Hello, sir.
I saw your ad.
You're looking for a worker.
Forget about it. Go.
I told you to leave it alone.
You could end up
spending all your pay on medicine.
I'm not a weakling.
Please let me work for you.
What are you doing, Bom?
Here you go.
What's wrong, mom?
Are you ill?
What's gotten into you?
Watch your mouth.
"What's gotten into me?"
How dare you!
Let go.
It must be hard looking for a job,
working part-time,
and doing housework to be
a good daughter.
Mom, you don't have to be like this.
Do you think I'm still upset?
Oh, wow. What's this?
Did you get this for me so that
I'd do well on the college entrance exam?
Have this taffy
and do what you will on the exam.
I looked inside your closet
and saw that you had nothing to wear.
I got this from the Dongdaemun Night Market.
I get this stupid taffy but
Bom gets new clothes and shoes?
You don't need new clothes.
You'll just go out and waste your life.
Why are you being nice to Bom?
They say sudden change means death is near.
Are you okay, mom?
Shut your trap.
If you were half as good as Bom,
I'd put you on my back and parade you
around the neighborhood 100 times.
Good-for-nothing.
Wow.
Try these on.
They say good shoes take you to good places.
You can't keep wearing your sneakers
and flit in and out of Chowon Pub.
Why are these so expensive?
Mom, we can't afford these.
Take them back right now.
Why would we do that?
Keep them. Keep them.
Wear them out.
It's so worth it
to run away.
Are you feeling guilty about something?
Of course not.
Something's fishy.
I swear.
I feel bad I've been so mean to you.
Thank you, mom.
Does she know what I'm up to?
I was so scared.
Was Baedal
a blabbermouth?
What are you doing, Bom?
Huh? Getting things ready.
Didn't you listen to what I said?
I told you to act your age
and do what you want to do
and start sending out job applications.
I'll figure that out.
Running this pub is what's most urgent.
But Uncle Baedal's
always out and about.
You can't run this place alone.
It's not for you to worry about.
Um...
I'm going to the market,
so tend the pub, okay?
What's gotten into her?
Is she really up to something?
No, of course not.
Mom's always been fickle.
She yells at me and then she's fine.
Mom's something else.
Uncle Baedal!
Huh? What?
What is it, Bom?
Bom, Bom boro Bom Bom Bom.
Why aren't you here helping out when
mom's working all day?
You're never here and yet
you call yourself a sales manager?
I'm not out and about having fun.
We're faced with so many problems.
I'm running around
trying to find ways to resolve them.
What problems?
Duh.
Dealing with the aftermath of Yeongho's death.
Bom,
has your mom said anything to you?
Dad's death must be hardest on mom,
so I feel uneasy that
I was such a brat.
Now that mom's so nice to me,
I feel really bad.
She's nice to you?
That's not like her.
I get a bad feeling about this.
Bom, your mom is thinking of...
Ow!
Where have you been?
Stop playing hooky.
You had it coming.
Hurry up and go home!
I'm going. Geez, mom.
Darn it.
What was that for?
What did you say to Bom?
Did you say something stupid?
I didn't say anything to her.
It must be your guilty conscience.
What guilty conscience?
You'll get it from me if you ever say anything
stupid to Bom.
Ms. Choi,
I thought we had given you
plenty of time to fix the China debacle.
Still no news?
Um...They're still reviewing the deal.
That deal is dead.
Let's just move on.
And Ms. Choi, you should be held accountable.
Do you want me to resign from my post?
That's for you to decide.
Ms. Bae,
the Chinese buyer is here to see you.
Nice to see you again.
I decided to turn back
on my way to the airport.
Let's conclude this deal.
He'll accept Punggildang's terms and conditions
and sign the deal that was scrapped.
Pardon?
Really?
Thank you.
You gave me a good impression of Korean wine.
Thank you.
This is all thanks to Mr. An.
I didn't do anything.
Let me show you to the VIP room.
This way, please.
What happened?
He said he was signing because of you.
That's not true.
Ms. Choi was in negotiations with them.
I only followed her orders.
Why didn't you tell us?
We had no idea.
Good job.
I couldn't tell you in front of the executives,
but I'm proud of you.
You did well.
Actually, it was all Taeho's doing.
I wasn't doing anything about it.
Taeho is that kind of person.
So you owe him one.
Pay him back over time.
We should reschedule the engagement.
Aran,
I know marriage is scary for you
given what you saw of your dad and me
as you were growing up.
But there are many couples out there
who, unlike us, are happy.
If you marry Taeho,
I'm sure you'll have a happy family.
So don't be scared, Aran,
and be positive about it.
Taeho is a good person.
- Good job. / - Thanks.
Why did you give me credit for what you did?
You didn't have to speak up for me like that.
I didn't.
This was your idea from the beginning.
But I'm going to hold on
to this engagement ring.
What?
I don't want to pressure you.
Focus on your work and
take as much time as you need.
Have you told your parents?
Don't worry about that.
I'll help you however you want me to.
'I still can't erase you'
'I keep thinking of you'
'I miss you so much'
'I can't sleep a wink'
'Raindrops tapping on the window'
'The empty space you left behind'
How long can the entire family
stay at a sauna like bums?
Why is he being so loud?
I wanted to do some thinking for a change.
Everyone thinks they can sing.
I can sing better than you.
What's the matter with you?
Shh. Quiet. Quiet.
Could you grab my money?
Money?
That?
There isn't much anyway.
It can't be more than $10.
Hey, where are you going?
Whatever.
I'm getting instant noodles with this.
- Noodles are okay, right? / - Yes.
Ma'am, two noodles, please.
Okay.
Ma'am, one instant noodles.
Got it.
Good job.
The Chinese buyer wouldn't stop praising you.
I didn't do much.
Are things going well with Aran?
Yes, of course.
When you first started dating,
I thought it would fizzle.
But now that you're planning to get engaged,
so it doesn't sit well with me.
I've been Ms. Bae's assistant for some 30 years.
If you were to marry her daughter,
it would be uncomfortable in many ways.
I'll make sure to keep that from happening.
Okay.
They're here.
Let's have noodles, your favorite.
Okay.
We haven't had a drink together in a while.
Shall we then?
Let's drink the evening away then.
Okay.
Raw rice wine, please.
Sure thing.
Here.
Hello?
May I speak...
I am Suho mother.
You are Suho friend?
Oh...Okay. Okay.
Thank you.
Sorry. Bye.
I couldn't understand a word.
So is Suho in his dorm room or not?
Darn it.
Mom,
I was in a good mood today,
so I had a drink with dad.
Both of you come in reeking of alcohol.
My dear mother,
you know I love you, right?
Good grief. Stop grossing me out.
Get off me. Get off me.
Have a good night, you two.
Other women say their husbands
get frisky when they come home drunk.
But he only becomes more distant.
Honey.
Are you sleeping?
Are you? Are you?
How can you be sleeping?
What do you think you're doing?
Fine. Sleep. Just sleep.
Just sleep like a bear.
Did her boyfriend really give it to her?
It fits perfectly.
It was made for me.
I'm off to school, Bom.
Okay.
I'll give it back after a few days.
Bom doesn't even care about it anyway.
She's been wearing these for over
10 years.
Look at this hole.
I need to get a job
so that our family can do better.
Mom.
To keep the house and pub and get paid,
Bom has to take over Yeongho's debt.
But will she just accept it?
- Mom. / - You startled me.
What are you doing?
You almost gave me a heart attack.
Why are you talking to yourself?
What are you looking at?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Aren't you eating, Midal?
Did you order the wines yesterday?
Um...Oh...
I was just about to.
I was going to keep my hands off you today,
but you give me
no choice.
Place the order now!
Okay.
This is Chowon Pub. Yes.
Should I balance the ledger?
No, no.
It's okay. There's no need.
Are you hiding your emergency fund in there?
Here you are.
Yes.
I didn't think you'd last,
but you have.
It's fun, sir.
Good. We got an order.
Could you make the delivery?
Sure.
And order soup while you're there.
We won't have time to go
all the way there for lunch.
- Yes, sir. / - Good.
Here.
Where do I put these?
- Over there. / - Okay.
We'd like soups delivered later.
Pardon?
Soups.
Geez. They cost next to nothing.
Why do you guys
always ask us to deliver?
Look. We'll pay for the wine next time.
Okay.
That wine wholesaler thinks he's a big shot,
always asking us to deliver.
If only I could have it my way.
Geez.
You can't run a pub like that.
In a recession,
any order is a blessing.
I'll deliver the soups, okay?
It's not that I don't want to do it.
But if you insist,
I can't talk you out of it.
Hurry up!
Yes, sir.
We have a lot of deliveries.
It's okay.
Your uncle can go.
I'll be back in a jiffy.
Bom, should I go?
Are you thinking of dumping the debt on Bom?
What... What do you mean?
I've been your brother for 37 years.
I see right through you.
Yes, so what?
I'm not doing it for my sake.
It's for our family's survival.
Geez, Midal. This will all come back to you.
Bom hasn't even started her career.
You can't dump that debt on her.
With a bad credit score,
she'll have a hard time
finding a job.
I've spent a fortune raising her.
She can help out
if her mom's in dire straits.
Someone has to bear the load
if we're to save the house and pub.
My ruin will mean ruin for Bom
and the rest of the family as well.
This is on the house.
Enjoy.
Feel free to call whenever
you want soups delivered.
Miss, tell the young lad outside
to come in for lunch.
- Sure. / - Thanks.
They want you inside for lunch.
Excuse me. Lunch.
Are you okay?
Hey!
