Episode 9
The sky, winds, and air...
Trees, Sun and roads...
Our children...
And you...
Now I begin to understand.
The things that help humans breathe are always close to us.
Even in the pitch black darkness, I hope...
Those small lights will lead me to that child.
All done! Lunch has been all served!
Enjoy your meal.
Why are you alone?
Didn't you meet Ji Yun?
Did she say where she was going?
Is she not at home?
No.
Where can she be then?
How can we know if you don't know?
How about her hometown?
She has no place to call her hometown.
What should we do?
You are bad.
Why did you come so late?
Well, she's got to be in Korea.
Please eat for now. You can do anything when you're full.
That's right. Rice gives you power!
Oh, it's noodles today.
Noodles give you strength too!
Did you enjoy?
Yes.
It's been a while since the last time I enjoyed a meal.
Find Ji Yun and Dae Yun soon and come back with them.
I will.
Thanks for the origami airplane.
What I did was just delivering it.
Pay for your meal next time you come.
That way you will hurry back here.
Don't bother to see me off.
You can do that next time.
Don't worry.
Ok, then. I don't really enjoy watching people leave.
He looks a bit cool today, right?
Not just a bit. He looks really cool today!
Anyway, what was that about an origami airplane?
Dae Yun made a wish airplane.
What is a wish airplane?
You make 77 paper airplanes and fly them. And your dream comes true.
It's very popular with kids.
Dae Yun's wish must be that his dad will come back.
-No. -No?
Dae Yun's wish is...
That his mom's wish will come true.
What's his mom's wish?
Her wish is to see his dad smiling.
Bro!
What are you trying to do?
Let's go.
We already missed the flight.
May Ho Tae's shooting star mom come back home soon!
Kids are much more mature than we adults think.
I agree.
Oh, cabbage Kimchi!
Right! Let's salt the cabbages first.
You're here.
We need to pay off the entire loan?
You said we could extend the loan.
In fact, in order to extend the loan...
You need to go through a review process by the bank.
I had the wrong information.
We always paid the interest on time.
Yes, I know.
That's why I said you could extend it, but...
The review process is stricter these days.
Because the bank industry is not doing so well...
How can we pay the whole amount back in just a month?
Please think of something. We have no money.
How about paying monthly or interest only, anything like that?
I wish I could help you but...
It's not up to me.
Is there really no other way?
I'm sorry.
Don't corner the weak when those responsible are doing just fine.
Just pretend not to know anything. That's more humane.
Those who are responsible...
If you look closely, everyone has a weakness.
Those who appear to be normal have more weak points.
Don't worry.
Just trust me.
I'm not an amateur.
The bank clerk who handles Chun Ji In received bribes from customers.
And gangster Cho has the evidence of that.
If he has it for sure...
There shouldn't be any mistakes like before.
Shouldn't be.
Even if he makes a mistake,
It won't affect us because it doesn't involve our company in any way.
Of course it has to be that way.
Anyway, there is still no news on Lee Ki Chan?
Not yet.
It keeps bothering me.
There must be a reason why he left Chun Ji In.
What could it be?
What brought you here?
You came to my office!
I was on my way to see you to discuss something.
Our stock prices are rising up!
We should host a Kimchi festival and talk to the media about...
By doing it your way...
You cannot compete with Chun Ji In.
What brought you here?
Of course I came to see President Oh. Is he in?
He's with the Chairwoman.
Go back please.
That's great.
I haven't seen Chairwoman for a while.
I will let her know you came.
Let me go.
I came for a reason.
Go back and wait please.
Don't order me around.
You are the president's secretary, which means you're mine too.
You misunderstood.
I didn't do anything against Chun Ji In.
I know. I am just asking.
I know how much you care about me.
But this fight with Chun Ji In is mine to fight.
Not yours.
What do you mean?
We are husband and wife.
We fight together.
I am not doing this because I don't respect you.
It may be hard for you to understand...
To me, Chun Ji In is...
Unfinished homework to do.
Do you hate Chun Ji In?
Or maybe cherish it too much?
Every time you talk about Chun Jin In...
Well...
There's a sense of affection.
Anyway why are you trying to take it over?
You know it's because of the Korean Cuisine Town.
Then we should achieve the goal no matter what.
Your generosity toward Chun Ji In...
... is excessive. And hypocritical.
I'm trying to achieve my goal fairly.
Nothing is fair from the losing side's viewpoint.
And to us, any methods are justifiable for gaining what we want.
Sacrificing your pride for your object is like losing everything.
Of course, I haven't changed my mind to take over Chun Ji In.
It's just that I want to do it my way.
So you never answered my question.
One obstacle after another.
Did someone come?
Who is it from?
Hey, Lee Kang San!
Why did you come? You bring bad luck!
I was divining spirits for the Lotto numbers.
I will pay half for your Lotto ticket. Let's split the reward.
You've already jinxed it.
I guess I need to make a wish airplane.
What's going on with that Italian restaurant?
Is the deal totally off?
Where can you find that much money in a month?
This is a big problem.
Do you have any land that you're hiding?
How can you hide land? It's not like you can put it in a pocket.
That's right.
You always say the right thing.
What happens if we can't pay the loan?
The collateral, your house and restaurant will be auctioned off.
The loan must be paid off before that happens.
You're saying the obvious.
She's agonizing because they have no money.
When will you win a lottery? You said you'd pay...
It'll be faster for me to become President.
How much is the loan?
-A lot. -How much?
Very much...
So, exactly how much...?
The phone's ringing.
Why do you ask when you don't have any money?
It's Chun Ji In.
Hi, Mr. accountant!
Now?
Where are you?
I'm not busy but...
Well...
We have a big loan so...
Oh, no! Doesn't he need surgery?
I wish I could help.
-I really have no money. -Good!
Me?
Yes.
I know where that place is.
Yes.
Isn't it so so?
How about this one?
Both are pretty.
Really?
I shouldn't have said I would go.
I shouldn't go.
But it's rude to say "no" when he asks to see me, right?
No, it's better not to go.
But what if he waits too long?
But I don't have money. I can't go.
No, that must be a lie.
He said he'd wait.
Woo Joo!
-What is this? -Give it to him.
Do you believe what he said?
What if he's a swindler?
Whatever he is...
I trust your judgment.
Be careful.
Uncle...
Does this look good on me?
Very pretty.
Really?
Yes.
Thanks, Uncle!
It proved false that there was steel wool in our Kimchi.
I just wondered... if you didn't know that.
That... I already read it on the blog.
If so, is your order still good?
Honestly, I became less interested after a while.
I will reconsider.
I see.
Sir.
I'm not trying to push you but...
Our Kimchi cannot be compared to any other.
You have an eye for quality, so you'll order it someday.
If so, why don't you just order it now?
Sounds like you're pushing.
And buttering me up too.
Yes, I'm pushing, and flattering you too.
Today is very important to me.
I will push or flatter if I can save today.
If you acknowledge our Kimchi today,
It will give me great strength.
I really beg you.
This way, we will be able to pay off the loan soon!
We have one month to go, right, Ho Tae?
Should we supply all restaurants in Korea?
That's a great idea? What do you think?
What are you doing?
Let me go!
You're awesome, Lee Kang San!
Awesome!
You are good.
You spoiled my good mood.
Pull that off once more! I will fire you!
Aren't you coming?
Even the look of her back is awesome.
What is he saying?
Hurry up!
Let's go make money!
Where is she going?
She looks different, being dressed like that.
She looks prettier every time I see her. Right?
Yes.
Hey, that is!
Isn't he the guy?
Yes, that's him.
Why is she seeing him?
What the...?
I wanted to contact you so long.
But I couldn't leave my friend alone.
As I said on the phone,
He has no family and I'm his only friend.
Then are you staying at the hospital too?
Yes, I'm staying there.
I wanted to pay for his surgery with my salary.
But I need $1000 more.
So, shamelessly...
I contacted you. Oh, not just for the money.
I missed you.
We don't have money.
But your friend can die without having surgery.
Yeah...
Here it is.
Thank you!
If you...
...don't treat yourself preciously,
You can't do anything about being looked down upon.
Woo Joo?
Whatever he is, I trust your judgment.
Woo Joo?
What hospital is your friend at?
Why do you ask?
I brought some food for him.
I want to give it to him in person.
You can give it to me.
He's in no condition to see visitors.
I won't bother him.
I just want to see him and give him the food.
Actually, to save money...
He's staying at home.
You just said he was in a hospital.
He got discharged yesterday.
Then, I'll go to his home.
No! You don't need to. You're busy.
I'm not busy.
Actually I'm busy.
I need to hurry back to work.
When will you be done?
My friend is... in Jeju Island.
His mom is there.
You said he had no family.
That's right.
Not his mom! I meant my mom!
How strange.
You said you had no parents.
You two were friends from an orphanage.
Don't you believe me?
I don't. You keep changing your story.
If you can't trust me, never mind then!
Are you treating me like a swindler over just $1000?
You didn't pay back the $1000 that you borrowed last time.
What?
It's not just $1000 for me. It's a lot of money. Pay it back!
I will!
Right now!
God! You're upsetting me!
Shut up!
What?
It's better you shut your mouth than lie with it.
Telling a lie is the worst!
So, stop lying!
Are you lecturing me now?
I can't lecture anyone since I'm not smart.
-But I don't lie! -Hey!
Oh! Who is this?
Dung Fly...? Kang Dong Pal?
Hello.
Do you remember me?
Of course.
It's such a coincidence I was passing by...
and you're here! What a small world!
Isn't it?
Do you know him?
I'm in finance, and he hasn't paid my money back.
Did he borrow $1000 from you too?
A little more than that.
Never get involved with a guy like that.
What made him live his life like that?
He must've been an good baby when he was born.
And a precious boy to someone.
I hope he'll start living decently from now on.
You're so sweet.
No, I'm lacking.
No, I won't say things like that.
I have many flaws, but I'll think I'm precious.
That way my mom and dad won't be sad.
Do you work at a bank?
No.
You said you were in finance.
It's... more like private lending.
A private bank. I'm the owner.
You must be rich then.
Well, I am not poor.
Let me know if you need money. We lend 24 hours.
Really?
We're worried. Our bank told us to pay off our loan now.
Oh, no!
I'll lend you as much as you need.
And pay back when you can.
Is that really possible?
Of course!
I can lend you the money right now.
I can't decide that alone.
You're an adult. You can make the decision by yourself.
But still...
Consider it and let me know.
Call me anytime.
We should help each other out during tough times.
That's how we can make a better world.
You seem like a nice man. Thank you.
You're welcome.
I need to run. We'll make cabbage Kimchi. I'm already late.
What?
Take care.
Visit us again. We'll make you a delicious meal.
She's the gullible type.
It's cold. Wear these now.
Did you buy them?
Yes.
Thank you!
My feet are warm!
I'm crazy!
Teacher!
Did you come to see my uncle?
Absolutely not!
I came to see how Eun Bi is doing.
Anyway why do you keep saying that?
It can cause a misunderstanding to anyone who hears it.
You like my uncle.
Me?
No, that's not true.
Do you dislike my uncle then?
No, it's not that...
Then it means you like my uncle.
Let's go in. We'll make cabbage Kimchi and steamed pork.
You should have some!
I'm back!
You're home!
-You are here too! -Yes.
Sorry for being late.
I have it all ready. And there's good news!
The Italian restaurant placed their order again!
Really? That's great!
I have good news too.
-I didn't lose $1000. -What?
I'll be back! Uncle!
Woo Joo is in a good mood today.
Yes!
Uncle!
I don't need this any more.
Now I realized why I easily forget when to make cabbage Kimchi.
You take it for granted because you eat it every day.
From now on, I will cherish more myself and my family who I see every day.
You just smiled!
You look good when you smile!
Smile often please!
Everything is ready to go.
Ho Tae, the Snail! Slice the radish!
My body hurts!
Can you steam pork, Hae Jun?
I will. Should I steam it in the cast iron pot?
Yes!
Let's get started!
Yes!
You are doing great!
The cabbage holds everything in like this.
Like a chicken hatching its eggs?
That's right.
That's why cabbage Kimchi is called mom's Kimchi.
Because this Kimchi is served for family every meal,
Mom puts more efforts into making it good.
And I pray that Woo Ju and Kang San won't catch a cold,
stay healthy in winter.
Cabbage Kimchi has a mother's wish in it.
That's why every family's cabbage Kimchi tastes different.
So there are as many kinds of cabbage Kimchi as the number of mothers.
Don't you love your mom's Kimchi the most?
I think so.
Eun Bi, think of our Kimchi as your mom's.
Yes.
Try it.
How is it?
Mom's Kimchi is yummy!
You talk so sweet!
Let's see!
Let's put it in the jar!
Hooray!
I'd like to talk to my mom. Where is she?
She's not answering her phone.
I'll wait.
-Why do you order me to come and go? -Hey.
You told them to steam pork.
Teacher, you are here too.
Hello?
What do you mean? When?
Why didn't you call me sooner?
I will come over now.
What's the matter?
Where did she go? She's suffering from dementia.
Dementia? Then it's really a big problem.
Why is her mother staying at a nursing home?
I heard she has two sons.
There must be a reason.
What reason? They are just ignoring her.
Eun Bi is here. Watch your words, please.
That's why old people should have money.
That's how you can get respect from your children.
Are you saying that 'cuz you have money?
What happened to the steamed pork?
It's coming right up!
You are so impatient. Here it is.
Did you, snail, steam the pork?
It must not taste good.
Here...
Even snails can be useful. But what are you good at?
Do you want to fight?
I'm good at fighting.
That's something to boast about!
You!
Someone's here.
Chef Lee Kang San!
Chef!
What brought you here?
Chef!
This hanok is very beautiful.
Thank you.
Kang San, it's time for you to come back to Monami.
The head chef position is yours.
Head chef?
They will give Kang San the position of Head Chef?
Yes, it's unexpected! We were shocked!
Is Head chef a high position?
Even with her good skills, it's unlikely for her to get that position.
Yes, it is. This is a unprecedented case.
Is that such a big deal?
Kang San may be featured on the news!
That's great. But...
If Kang San leaves, what happens to Earth and Man?
Things will work out.
Don't stop Kang San this time. It's for her success.
I know. If it's good for her, it's good for me. I won't stop her.
That's right.
We have uncle, Chef Hae Jun...
and Ho Tae. We'll do fine.
Except for that snail.
Don't eat too much.
You have a small body but eat too much!
This Kimchi is so good.
So why are you eating the good stuff all yourself?
-We have more. -That is for me to take home.
That's bad luck!
Don't eat so skittishly.
Stop teasing the guest.
He's just joking. Go ahead and eat.
Cabbage Kimchi and pork is a heavenly match.
It detoxes your body and helps you recover from fatigue.
I see.
Let me ask you something.
What happened to the previous head chef?
He got fired.
You know what?
I've done anything and everything to get to this position.
Some said I would just end up washing dishes. But I, Kim Hong Shik!
Became the head chef!
You could bring the house down with your sigh.
What do you worry about? Seize the opportunity!
I guess.
It would've been an easy decision a few months ago.
But it's complicated now.
Go back.
You have the freedom to protect Earth and Man.
And also the freedom not to. This is what you wanted.
Don't think too much. Take it.
Freedom... Freedom?
So it was freedom.
What are you murmuring?
Staying at Earth and Man was an obligation to me.
Now that I think it's my freedom...
Things seem clearer.
What's your conclusion?
Well...
I should follow my dad's order.
Your dad's order?
"Do what you like with Earth and Man."
He wrote that in his letter.
What do you want to do with it?
My dad said "do what you like"...
That probably means "as your heart leads you."
Now I realize that!
Our biggest homework from dad was written in his first letter.
So? Where is your heart leading you?
I don't know that yet.
There's a question, so there should be an answer too!
This will show me the answer.
-Hey. -The guy, Woo Tae Bok...
-And? -I should tell you in person.
Name: Woo Tae Bok
Age: 47
Date of Birth...
He and President Oh are from the same town.
They were senior and junior in middle school.
He started as President Oh's chauffeur.
Later he became his secretary. What a promotion!
Anything else?
You know my close buddy, Detective Kim?
Get to the point.
Woo Tae Bok was...
A murder suspect.
-A murder suspect? -Yeah!
Who did he kill?
He was allegedly...
The most likely suspect.
So who did he kill?
A man.
A man who?
I don't know that much.
Detective Kim.
What's his phone number?
-I just... -Tell me now!
I got the number of the detective in charge of that case.
Here it is.
Bro, Bro!
He's so rude to his junior.
It's me, honey.
Don't worry. I won't drink too much.
Did you eat dinner?
You should eat even when you want to.
Are you going to see the doctor tomorrow?
No, I'll go with you.
I can make time.
Yes.
Go to bed. Don't wait for me.
Oh, my god! It's so beautiful!
Wow, that's a great hotel!
I just went ahead with my severance pay.
This is the first time I ever spent this much money on myself.
Good job! You're a precious person!
I decided to think that way too.
For now on I will focus on discovering my own happiness.
You've changed a lot! You look so pretty with the makeup!
I will come for Makgeolli the day I return from my trip.
The Makgeolli I had last time was so good.
Woo Tae Bok was a murder suspect.
You said he was a murder suspect?
So it means the criminal wasn't caught yet?
Do not remember anything.
That's how you can save your dad.
You don't want your dad to die, right?
Memories cannot be trusted. I never saw you before.
And I don't know your father.
Lies don't work on me.
Prove that I'm lying.
Then I'll give you the answer you want.
Murder suspect...
Proof?
So is everything...
...coming back to its place?
You are early.
Do you want a drink?
No, thanks.
Don't be like that. Let's drink together.
Drink by yourself.
I'm giving you one of our best drinks.
There are 9 ranks in the taste of alcohol.
You are ignorant so I will teach you.
Forget it.
Rank 9: the drinks you get from your senior, kneeling and bowing.
Rank 8: The drinks you have in a business setting.
Rank 7: the drinks you have with a stranger.
Rank 6: when you drink with people at a bar, Rank 5: when you drink alone at a bar.
Rank 4: when your friend serves drinks at his home.
Rank 3: when you drink alone at home.
Rank 2: Drinks you have with buddies in beautiful nature.
Rank 1: When you drink alone with an amazing view!
And we have our own ranking in this household.
When you drink with your loved ones at home,
That's the top ranking drink!
Let's taste that top ranking wine!
Drink it with someone else.
What is it you are hiding?
I don't know what's going on...
But don't suffer alone. Just talk to me.
What's going on?
-I never said I was suffering. -No, I can see.
You're hiding something, you're searching for something.
I see a man who doesn't know where to go, like a lost boy.
What's troubling you so much...
Can't you tell me?
We are family members. Family!
Something like family...
... isn't a big deal to me.
I've lived by myself.
And I will live that way too.
There are things that you have to take care of yourself.
So, don't butt in my business.
Be honest with yourself.
Even now you miss your parents and resent them.
Don't go over the line.
I have no reason to miss or resent my parents who I don't even remember.
I worry about you!
What causes that look on your face, why you're suffering...
and what's really wrong... I wonder and worry.
Just don't care, then.
I can't help myself!
Why? Why do you care?
I don't know!
You said you don't need family?
You will live by yourself?
You said you can?
-Lee Kang San... -This is Earth and Man.
Once you have your feet in here, I won't let you live alone.
I won't allow you to live like that! Got it?
What's wrong with me?
Is it broken?
It's hard to live as your heart leads you.
What causes that look on your face, why are you suffering...
And what's really wrong... I wonder and worry.

-You are confused, right? -How do you know?
If you love someone, you just understand his facial looks and gestures.
Love?
You two are connected!
Who's connected?
You, Ho Tae?
Come back home.
That Kimchi that made mom feel defeated... I haven't seen them making it.
Alright. But there's one condition.
President Oh testified that he was with him,
at the time of murder.
Are you really paying it back?
You made me really happy!
I wonder how it feels to lose your memories.
Do you forget the taste of food if you have dementia?
Are you looking for this?
Why do you give it to me now?
You get upset over nothing.
Over nothing?
