-=Episode 2=-
Sure. I love you too.
What's it again?
Seon-U!
Seon-U.
Seon-U!
I am sorry. I mistook you for someone.
Seon-U.
I am sorry.
Seon-U... It's me, Seung Ri
Why aren't you calling?
Seon-U.
She must have more of it somewhere.
-=Han Seung Ri=-
I am back.
Han Seung Ri.
What are you up to, brat?
What?
This is you, right?
Mom... It's--
You, right? Is it you, I ask.
Hey, what is going on?
Mom, you're making a ruckus.
My heart is pounding. My heart is pounding.
Honey. Honey, take a look at this.
You... How did this happen?
Already knocked up?
Say something.
Say something, you hear me?
I am sorry, for not telling you earlier.
You... got pregnant?
Unreal!
Oh my God, oh my God... what is this?
You stupid girl, you stupid girl,
Do you even have a brain?
- I want to kill you now - Mom!
Stupid girl, how could you keep it from me?
Huh?
Do you know what you've gone and done?
I was going to tell you earlier, but I didn't get a chance.
That bastard Seon-U made you into this and went on a training trip?
I want to kill that guy--
Mom, Seon-U still doesn't know.
Doesn't know?
He doesn't know?
Have you gone mad, you dimwit girl?
You're mad.
You've gone mad.
How did you let this happen?
Did you deliberately start on making this happen?
As I oppose the wedding, were you trying to one up me?
It wasn't like that, mom.
Oh, how would she do such a thing?
If that's not it, then what is it?
My having said she can't marry him,
weren't you deliberately creating this, to give us no option but to agree?
I am sorry.
Aigoo, crazy girl screws things up and is in shit.
How the hell can everything you do be a screw-up?
What are you going to do? What will you?
What you do? What will you do, huh?
Mom!
- What will you do? - Seung Ri, go in.
What are you going to do?
Oh, I can't take this... really.
Oh, I can't take this.
This is really your baby?
It's really amazing.
Look at you, look at you, so totally naive...
"I know nothing at all"...
Gosh, innocent look and all, but some proper fun in the background, huh?
It's really hard for me too, and scary, eonni. (Eonni - older sister)
Aigoo, so I can see, Seung Ri. (Eonni - older sister)
Your heart must feel soft and so much in pain.
But, hey... When did you two do this thing?
Eonni...
Got drunk, and under the influence? Wasn't it? Wasn't it so?
But then... When a couple of nerds are in heat, would they be sober anyway?
Stop it, okay? I'd rather just forget what happened, I mean.
Hey, hey. No need for that. What, was it some deadly crime?
Pregnant first. Then marriage. It happens these days, don't you know?
Rather, this is great.
Mom will no longer be able to oppose this marriage, right?
You! Right away... give a call to Seon-U.
Call him and say "you are becoming a dad".
Tell him that right now!
Right now, isn't that the issue here?
Tell him and ask him to come pronto!
Mom...
Should I do it, then? Give me your mobile phone.
Mom!
Argh, you're a stupid pea-brain!
I mean, if you knew, first and foremost, shouldn't you be telling Seon-U?
Why would you sit and sulk by yourself?
Aigoo, this is so infuriating, seriously...
As you would know from seeing the files,
Seodong Soy Sauce sales and associated products sales are 1500. (In 'eok' units. ~US$ 130 million)
The business is 472 eoks in the minus column. (~USD 40 Million)
Also, if we look at the relevant--
Enough!
Look here, Manager O.
Have you ever looked at the performance data of the competitors?
Our competitor's sales for just this month is more than 3000 eok. (~US$ 270M)
Last year, because of organic farming,
their sales rose by over 300% from the year before.
But our Seodong Soy Sauces sales...
went down by 20 percent.
What do you think should happen?
Seodong Soy Sauce...
Over his lifetime, Chairman Seo
built this company with exceptional perseverance.
Should I get my father back here to be in my chair,
and have you disappoint him so unspeakably?
I don't don't know what you did so far to bring us to this state, but when I'm here,
for all the big salaries you've been getting, that money's worth...
will certainly have to be recouped.
But, Chairman.
Well, then... When will you be back to work and...
It's not yet time, I'll say.
Till the losses are definitely stopped and the improvement is clear,
keep your mouth shut about my return.
Driver Gim.
Where have you reached?
In front of the house?
Ok, I see.
She has come.
Mom!
What is this?
Seeing after one year, I can't even get a hug. Aren't you being too much?
Where are you coming from right now?
I heard it's been 3 days since your return. What were you doing and where, to come only now?
So you know, huh?
It's... in fact...
You, who was that guy?
The one who returned together with you. Who is that man?
You know even that much?
Gosh, this is amazing. Your informers.
Who is it? Secretary Gim? Or you hired someone?
Not getting even a call,
I called your friend Min Jeong yesterday and found out.
So, what is this talk about?
That you did an engagement in America.
Not true, right?
I misheard it, didn't I?
It's true.
It's true?
You're my daughter, am I right?
I'm your mom, am I right?
How can you do this to me?
I was anyway going to tell you.
But I was afraid you'll get a shock, so I was going to tell slowly.
On returning, I had so many things to do too.
Does that even make any sense?
A girl who went to US to study, gets engaged on her own, without even a word?
Without the parents approval, how can that be?
It wasn't done that ceremoniously or anything.
It was just an exchange of promises. Giving each other the word.
In a gathering of friends, we were just affirming our love.
Fine. Let us take it as just that.
You really... aren't thinking of taking it to even a marriage, are you?
If we aren't thinking marriage, why exchange promises?
Seo Jae Gyeong!
What is all this noise about?
Dad!
You're back, huh?
When did you come? Wonder how long it's been!
Right, right.
It has been a while.
I knew you were returning, but I didn't know that you were already back.
Dad, if I knew you were coming, I would've been back sooner!
Are you returning after finishing the studies well?
Yes, I came after picking up all the marketing tricks.
Just hand it over to me, and I will try to do my best!
Fine. Reassuring, I guess.
But, also... Dad.
You know Mr. Cha Seon-U, right?
If you say Cha Seon-U...
When we issued stocks to raise capital for my Washington corporation,
a young man who handled the accounting. You mean him?
Yes, that's right, dad.
But...
You also know that young man?
I... It is, in fact--
Jae Gyeong, didn't you... say you had some urgent things to take care of?
Fine, you are right!
Dad, let me go up now.
Go ahead.
Honey. One moment.
Hey. Who is this Cha Seon-U?
Is that man... Don't tell me...
You're right. It's that man. He's somebody Dad also knows.
Then what are you going to do? What can you tell your Dad?
Don't you know what I would say?
Isn't that why you rushed me out of there?
Okay, fine.
Then, let me at least hear what kind of a guy he is.
What kind of family is he from? What does his father do?
Won't you find out from a background check?
Isn't that your specialty?
You won't tell me now?
His widowed mother is the oldest in a poor family.
A bit after we started dating, he himself told me about it.
To me, such things are totally not an issue, I said.
Happy?
So it's that kind of a guy?
You... how could you--
Fine. If you like him that much, just go on dating him.
That I won't stop you from.
But only just date him.
But take a pass on marrying.
Why must I be doing that?
I am now at an age to marry.
That man... doesn't have any sort of dysfunction either.
He's perfectly fine and capable.
He doesn't own much? So what? I do.
So you mean you will live without a penny?
You think it's to see you do this that I came up from rock bottom to where I am?
Don't be mistaken about this.
What you own, is not yours.
My blood... and my tears earned it.
You get it?
It's because you live with this thinking
that you never get loved by dad.
That was a bit harsh.
But... the one who makes me say such things, is you, mom!
Mother. It's me.
Seon-U, is it you?
Where are you now? Tell me where you are!
What are you up to, calling only now?
What? In Korea?
So you mean now... you are already here?
Hyeong is in Korea? (Hyeong - Older brother)
What?
Okay. I understand.
Is this boy really having some issue?
What's it? What was he saying?
He says he has something to say, and wants to meet somewhere.
What?
Where did you say I should come?
Eonni.
There you are... my sister!
My Seung Ri! Aigoo, this is so great. So great.
What is the problem?
Can you... go in place of me for a blind date?
A blind date?
You know I registered at a couple agency, right?
I had a blind date today, but I just forgot... how could I?
I said I'd do an important reporting job, so I can't go for this.
If you say you can't go, won't that do?
If I break the contract saying I can't go, it's problematic, I mean.
This agency...
says they only deal with VVIPs and make so much of fuss.
Ah, breaking the deal is no joke, I mean.
Just for that, how can I go? I ain't going.
Then, what about that money? Will you pay it all back? It's almost my salary.
I have so much left to pay?
Right...
So I ask, Seung Ri... This time, it's just this once...
Eonni, I'm right now not in my right mind for it.
This is something I just got hold of. Wear this when you go.
You are only wearing it for this, and only borrowing, okay?
And also, have this.
My personal details to use.
You can't mess up on that!
My sweet Seung Ri.
Help me out just once. Big favor, okay?
Oh... Eonni!
Han Se Ri's profile.
California State University graduate.
Investment firm CEO. Father has a food product firm at Liverpool, England.
Buildings in Seocho District. 3 of them?
What's this? She's crazy.
Are you... perhaps Miss Han Se Ri?
Yes.
I'm Gang Min Jun.
Thank you.
But your name sounds quite familiar.
Huh?
It's like the name of somebody I know.
Please don't misunderstand.
My niece's name is Han Se Ri.
I see.
Your father has a food product firm in Liverpool, right?
I wonder what kind of food products...
It's soy sauce--
Huh?
Soy sauce... you said?
In England?
It's... like... oh,
these days foreigners like soy sauce so much!
Then again,
there's also lot of Teriyaki sauce made with soy sauce, no?
Investment firm's CEO and the food product firm owned by the father is uno.
The buildings themselves are three?
If she's the daughter, what else might come up?
Why are you looking like that?
Miss Se Ri, your eyes are pulling me in like magnets.
Please have this.
Thank you for that.
Was I being rude?
Why is he so cheesy like this?
No, you weren't.
To your eye's pupils, let's do a toast.
Okay.
Please get in. I'll escort you to your residence.
No, no. There is no need for that.
I enjoyed this today. So let me...
If I...
give you a call, is it okay?
No it's not.
These days I have a lot of work.
Then...
If you're busy, can I catch you later?
Where is the investment firm located?
No. You don't have to do that.
My firm is having an emergency, so we're crazy busy.
Then, at least my phone number...
No, it's fine. As for our meetings... let this be it.
Are you perhaps...
brushing me off now?
Not 'perhaps', but 'for sure', you cheesy bastard!
In fact, I...
have somebody I'll be marrying.
I am sorry.
You'll be marrying, but aren't you still unmarried?
Huh?
Where is my mobile phone?
Did I lose it?
Well... Could you pass me your cell phone, so I can call and see?
Okay...
Thanks.
Oh, it's here.
I can call at this number, right?
What are you trying to do now?
On the first look, I figured out...
that you are my destiny.
Why must I be your destiny?
Huh?
Have you gone deaf in your ears?
Didn't I clearly tell you, that I have somebody I'm marrying!
Then, why even come out here, if you are marrying somebody?
Well, that's... because I had set the date after all.
As a considerate human, it was... like a duty.
Duty, yeah right! Doing a fishing expedition...
You're saying that?
The one who is fishing would be you!
Change the scheme of operation, okay?
"Your pupils call for a toast"... Aren't such lines really too sleazy?
W-w... What did you say? Sleazy?
Look here!
Look at what? I have seen enough,
and it's too cheesy.
So, have a nice life.
That, that... That one!
Damn!
So how was it today? Was the guy fine?
Whatever. Don't ask me to go for this again.
Okay fine, you little brat.
But how was he, that guy?
Cheesy like butter and fresh cream together!
On top of that, no decency and no common sense. A total loser, really.
Really? It was good that I didn't go then!
For sure, my Jun Hyeok is the worthy one!
Not taking the call?
It's an unknown number.
She dares to reject my call.
This Na Hong Ju's call?
I got... ditched by a woman?
Dad. What is wrong?
Your head hurts?
Don't be hurting. If you hurt,
you'd die.
No, I'm not. Not hurting.
It was just my hair being itchy...
Time to cut it?
Let me see my son's face!
I was so anxious, I don't even know how I got here.
Have you been doing fine?
Then what else? Awful guy...
You came to Korea but can't call me right away?
I am sorry.
But why is your face looking like that?
That needs a dose of herbal tonic in it.
Okay. What is it that you wanted to say? Tell me.
Mother. In fact, I...
I... have got somebody I like.
Like something's new...
Your liking Seung Ri is something new to me?
It is another woman.
What?
Another woman?
Yes. I met her in America.
Then, what about Seung Ri? What are you saying will happen to Seung Ri?
This woman and I...
will be getting married.
Seung Ri. You haven't even talked to Seon-U, huh?
Aigoo, frustrating.
How did such a dimwit come out of my womb?
You lead the way.
Huh?
Let's go right now.
Where?
Where else? To Seon-U's house.
Mom...
Hey, honey.
What are you doing? I asked you to lead the way.
Mom!
I might just collapse.
I see a real problem looming.
Aigoo, Lord Buddha.
Bodhisattva of Compassion, Bodhisattva of Compassion...
Bodhisattva of--
Aigoo, Lord Buddha, Lord Buddha.
Bodhisattva of Compassion...
Why is that wench coming here...
It is me. Gong Cho Hui. Please open the door for us.
Aigoo...
What is... bringing you here?
How is your health?
I wanted to come and offer some greetings,
but life kept me busy, so I couldn't.
It looks like you have something to say. Say it then, somehow.
You asked why I came here, right?
It's to set a date for the kids' wedding that I came.
What?
Shouldn't we get the wedding done?
We both won't live for ever.
It's not anything new for the parents in this world.
For now, start with setting a wedding date.
Once Seon-U is here, let's do it right away.
After so disdainfully saying that you won't allow a marriage even if you die,
all of a sudden what wind has gotten into you?
Oh my, so you have a misunderstanding, huh?
I said it disdainfully, you say?
Seeing the marriage as a grave matter in a life,
I just wanted to prudently think about it, that's all.
You know... About first setting the date, maybe...
once Seon-U comes, can we discuss it again then...
What's there to wait for Seon-U to come?
Getting married is a foregone conclusion. For now,
let us first pick a date, and then--
That we cannot do!
Like you just said,
let's be prudent and slowly...
think about it again, and set what has to be set.
Say what, now?
That's how it is, you know!
People hardly know the next step in front.
Without a solid footing how can we set an earthshaking date?
That won't be reasonable.
'Not knowing the next step in front'?
Then, are you perhaps... opposing the wedding with my Seung Ri?
Oh my, oh my, I'm speechless.
You thought I'm doing it because I like it?
What?
Needlessly, thinking I'll clear the air and go back,
I was being very nice in how I was talking.
That wouldn't do.
Let's see you say the same even after seeing this.
What.. What is this?
Congratulations. For becoming a grandmother.
So you mean... now, you... you have... become pregnant?
Yes.
Oh my.
What is this now?
I mean... What kind of reaction is that?
Our Seung Ri is carrying an adorable child!
Well, it's...
That is... correct, but--
But... Eomeoni. I know that it's disconcerting.
I am sorry for shocking you.
Also for not being able to tell you earlier.
No need for that.
It's not anything you need to apologize for.
It's not like one palm can clap by itself.
Eomeoni, I wish to give birth to this child with all blessings and fortune.
Once I get married to Seon-U, I am confident of lovingly raising the child.
Aigo...
Once I showed the picture, you see...
her look really changed, so suddenly.
You should've been there to see it.
Aigoo... Seon-U's mother must've been really shocked.
Of course, am I the only one who'd be shocked?
It's only now that I feel some weight off my mind.
We should set a date quickly and look around quietly for a wedding hall, starting tomorrow.
Wedding hall?
Seung Ri, so good for you!
Getting married...
Shall I also just go do the same?
Girl. If you bring somebody that I don't like,
not even over my dead body.
Rather, don't say that you'll pick a date pronto.
Girl.
Do you maybe have someone? Is that so?
Just wait a bit more. Whatever is sad in your life...
will all be relieved off you.
Look forward to it.
Fine. It's my Se Ri that I trust.
My smart little daughter.
If this girl was even half way like you, I'd wish for nothing else!
Are you too upset because of Mom?
No.
I'm only upset because of myself.
Why was I born to be so incompetent, I wonder.
Incompetent?
You? How so? Where?
In my eyes, there is no daughter out there as pretty as my Seung Ri.
You try looking anywhere in the world.
When a dad decides to change career and quits from a good company,
how many children would be there to work so hard for him?
To this dad,
my daughter was born smart and nice.
Your mom is like that too.
Though she talks like she does,
she dearly loves you.
That's why she pushes you to work hard and do well.
I know that.
But, dad...
Even if Mom hates me,
I'll be understanding of that.
If it were me, I'd be the same.
What is that you're saying.
You know, don't you?
What happened to our Jae Min.
Stop that.
How long ago was that!
For Mom, it's always in the present.
It's the same for me too.
As I am so sorry,
I wanted to be good to her however I could.
But I always make her only sad, no?
I am so pathetic.
Feeling pathetic? No need for that.
If you do well in life in future, that will do.
That's how it's with parents.
When the kids do well in life with no problems,
that itself makes them joyful and happy.
Is it really like that?
Of course.
Somehow, once the grandchild is born,
your mom is sure to be making a hoopla!
Probably she'll forget all about me.
What will I do?
If I lose out on getting your mom's love,
it will leave me sad, I think!
Dad, you!
Right, dad.
I'll also live with Seon-U and our "little bean"
a really good and happy life.
Like you both have lived.
That I'm confident of.
Right.
Honey! Seung Ri!
What is?
Right. It's done.
Yeah, dad!
Is that true, honey?
Wow, dad!
dad, you worked so so hard. Congratulations.
Congratulations, dad. You are really cool!
Hello.
I'll wait in front of the company. Bye.
You have an appointment near our offices?
No. In truth, it was an excuse.
I was missing you since morning, so...
What?
Really, you're unstoppable, Seo Jae Gyeong.
Yes.
Thank you.
Sure.
-=Han Seung Ri=-
You shouldn't be taking calls while driving. I'll take it for you.
Yes.
This is Cha Seon-U's phone.
Hello?
Why do you arbitrarily take calls?
I wondered if it might be an important call.
Sorry.
But why did you hang up just like that?
It was a call that didn't need to be taken.
Who was that? It was clearly a woman's voice...
