Heard It Through the Grapevine Episode 6
Goodness, I guess you didn't hear from the lady.
- About what? - See the baby only when you breastfeed him.
Come back at three for breastfeeding, ma'am.
[Episode 6]
Mom, Mother must really like Jin Young.
She goes to the baby's room more often than I do.
That's a relief. If she likes her grandson, she should open up to you soon.
Who?
Yes.
They'd like to invite you over.
Would you be available for breakfast on Monday?
Yes, breakfast.
Pardon?
Well, it doesn't matter if it's breakfast or lunch.
But I wonder why Jin Young's grandmother didn't make a call herself...
Shall I say some grudges from this and that?
More than anything, it keeps bothering me that I got upset over the memorandum...
It would've been nice if we made up on the day of the marriage license.
You met each other that way
but the parents haven't made a formal introduction yet
so she says that asking through another person is more in line with the customs.
In case you're not available that day, we'll set it up for another day.
No, it's good.
I'd like that.
We will see you then.
When?
Breakfast on Monday.
Am I going too?
I don't think you are.
Aren't they formally inviting us?
I'm sure they are.
That family is formality itself!
Why wouldn't she? She can go with you.
Mom!
I don't know!
You're weird. You were waiting to be invited.
You were.
Were you cold to her?
I don't know!
What am I going to wear?
When they come, they'll realize... how they should behave.
I'd be most thankful if they live quietly without mentioning they're in-laws of Hansong.
- Hello. - Hi!
- Lunch is ready. - Thank you.
Go ahead. I'm going to see the baby for a sec.
Whatever you want.
You can't do that now. There is a schedule.
Who said that? What's that about?
It's lunch time.
- Mom. - Is studying hard?
Talk to her in a nice way.
I'm going to.
- You're dressed appropriately. - Thank you for buying me pretty clothes.
Don't talk like a kid anymore. You should call me 'Mother,' since you're an adult now.
- Try it even if it's a bit awkward. - I will.
By the way, can't we see Jin Young often?
You should get him into a good habit.
That's a lifetime asset.
What would happen if you raised a child on your whim?
Still, you should've discussed with us first.
We have the parents' right and the custody... Right?
- We'd like you to respect our opinion, too. - That's it.
- You're still underage. - We have to follow the schedule until next year?
It's too long.
Until you earn your keep.
- See you later. - See you later.
Maybe we're too spoiled. It just means the nanny will raise him well.
I don't know how thankful we should be. I'm just really disappointed.
Moms at my age are crying their eyes out because it's so hard to raise their children.
When I think about that, I'm really grateful...
I don't know what it is, but I'm really upset.
Because we're being ignored.
- Not to that degree. - How is it not? We're completely ignored.
That's what I think anyway.
You look like you might even spit. You look totally delinquent.
That would be better. Who the heck am I?
What?
Yes?
What are you doing? Lunchtime is over.
Yes.
Go downstairs.
Ten minutes past.
Don't make your eyes like that.
See you again.
Can an underaged parent file a custody suit?
Who's taking the baby away that you'd file a lawsuit?
It's not that...
My parents are leaving us out completely from taking care of the baby.
Since when did you read the law books that you're using legal terms?
That's what's called 'a noise made when a rice roll bursts.'
Get back.
Line up a highlighter, a 0.5 milimeter pen, post-it and notes.
I'll tell you why what you said is the noise made when a rice roll bursts.
First, an underage person cannot engage in family litigation.
Second, the party with a better environment for child rearing will win the custody suit.
Do you realize your place?
Yes.
It's a disaster.
Scarier than smallpox, natural disaster, illegal videos...
is the underaged daughter-in-law.
Can't you just hang out with her? You said she's smart and quick on her feet.
Forget it.
Are you leaving?
I was able to take a break. Thanks for listening.
I was about to explode.
- Why didn't you just explode? - I don't do things like that.
Get rid of these.
Why are people congratulating you for your father's appointment as the prime minister?
People who are eager for connections are the most weird ones.
- I know. - Bye.
Oh, hi!
- You're here? - Yeah.
You didn't come to the wine class, so I was about to call you.
I was a little late, so I just came up here.
Then stay a little longer. So Jeong is coming.
You'd be just anxious if you go home.
I heard your in-law is a delinquent borrower.
What's wrong with you? I said I'm leaving!
I really hate it when you do this.
I've hated it for a long time.
You can't see other people do well, you enjoy others' misfortunes! How crude!
You weren't going to explode...
That's too bad. Calm down.
I can't stand it.
If you need help, tell me anytime, Yeon Hee.
We're managing search words on the internet
and leading the social networks in a positive way.
You shouldn't go overboard with media response.
Don't act too sensitive.
Something will come out soon.
I think the Daesan Group card will be used.
You don't need to go overboard.
I understand.
What brought you here?
I came to check out the office, so I'm stopping by.
I was going to show you around myself.
- Do you like your office? - I really like it.
The view itself is an art. Mount Inwang is captured in one view.
Forgive me that it's not as good as the prime minister's office.
Don't say that.
Compared to your office here, I feel bad.
The owner's office is so humble.
All the attorneys at Hansong use same offices.
- From associates to partners. - That's great.
This is your virtue.
Noblesse oblige.
A noble class doesn't exist nowadays.
We are all citizens.
Since you're here, why don't you check out our exclusive lounge?
- I hear it's on the top floor here? - Yes, I'll take you there.
- Please. - Let's.
I also have something to discuss in private.
He comes to work at seven.
He's used to go to work early in the morning when he was in the government.
So he won't be able to stand it if he's told to come to work at nine or ten.
- Always be ready on time. - Yes, sir.
Pay extra attention that no secret documents go to that office.
Yes, sir.
You have to submit a separate daily report, right?
Yes.
Min Joo Young, make one more of yourself.
For In Sang's in-law's family.
That's odd.
'In-law's family' for such a kid like In Sang.
Now they're relatives.
People to be managed?
Something you wanted to discuss?
Isn't it about time that a solution comes out?
The prime minister appointment is barely limping along.
There is that aspect.
I feel awkward for relaying the words...
but what would be a solution?
What do you mean...
It looks like the Daesan Group's slush fund will be exposed.
Really?
Make sure to keep the responsibility to protect the informant.
As soon as you became our counsel, we're deeply indebted to you.
I wasn't even thinking in that direction.
I should earn my keep.
I'm embarrassed if you say it that way. 'Earn my keep'?
Anyway, be prepared.
Thank you.
Here, let's drink.
I ordered Min Joo Young to keep an eye on their moves.
- I shouldn't feel guilty, should I? - Of course not.
You mean well.
- Go downstairs first. - Yes, sir.
I'm about to tell Chairman Jang of Daesan to check into a hospital.
I'll put someone near a nurse on duty for VIP rooms.
Someone with a strict sense of security.
Yes, sir.
Welcome. I'll help you with your order. What would you like?
- I'll have a seafood sandwich. - Please select the bread type and its size.
- A 15-centimeter multigrain bread please. - Yes, anything else you'd like to add?
- Put a lot of olives. - Yes, I'll confirm your order.
A seafood sandwich with a 15-centimeter multigrain bread and lots of olives. Is this correct?
No, I can't say it's hard work.
I just came to have a night snack.
But I do feel a little bad. They look like they're living their lives.
No one has it written on themselves, 'I'm going to cause some trouble.'
Ji Young Ra...
tell her not to be so happy.
She has no time to be excited about what's happening in our family.
I don't want to think about it.
If it was any other time, I'd have called to console her.
Did you set up a time to eat with her parents?
Yes, breakfast on Monday next week.
I told Secretary Kim.
I hope they take our good gesture as is.
Would they resist?
They even threw away the settlement money. Would they resist?
They even threw away the settlement money.
We will have to convince them more in detail.
I invited them, but I don't know how I should face them.
Let's overcome all those feelings.
With generosity and rationality.
You haven't seen how scary her mother is.
As she threw the memorandum, she said, why un...
She was yelling why we made her take off that...
Un?
Why do you embarrass be over money?
What is it?
Never mind.
Just say it.
I just hope that Jin Young doesn't have their DNA.
I'm sure he doesn't.
He's becoming to look more like our side.
I really hope so.
Let's begin.
A little stronger.
You should follow the set rules. Do you have time for this?
- You shouldn't hold him like that. - What? What do you mean?
Life of following rules since birth... Is that the family custom?
They have a strict side.
Please don't ask me.
I wish you'd talk to me in a comfortable way.
- Your parents will be invited. - What?
Are you done with your study?
The elders invited my parents.
What?
Why are you surprised? What's so strange about inviting the in-laws?
Without telling us? They're your parents.
What's going on? You're cold.
What about us?
It would be rude to go with them, right?
It's a bit odd trying not to be rude
but I'm trying to understand everything for you.
Tell her to come. If it's not this time, when can she come?
Talk to her over the phone. Tell her that I really want her to come.
Here.
- You're not trying to be rebellious, are you? - No, I'm not.
Hi, Noo Ri.
In Sang wants me to tell you directly.
- He really wants you to come. - Really?
Would it be okay?
That's what I mean! I'm going to see my married sister, an aunt going to see her nephew!
Right? It's not rude at all, right?
We decided not to be a burden on you.
Dad says that we should be careful as relatives of people high up.
Shouldn't we bring something?
I'm trying to come up with an idea...
but I feel anxious.
I'm sure they have everything.
We won't be able to do anything if you think that way.
As much as we can afford with sincerity.
Let's do something modest.
I wonder if bellflower root wine is ready.
Would they drink something like that?
You said we should do what we can.
We should do the minimum though.
Maybe if it's aged for 30 years.
What's the minimum? Give me an idea.
Do whatever you want.
What are you doing?
I'm going to do a facial mask.
I should give a good impression on Bom's family.
You're really going?
Bom told me to come.
Of course Bom would tell you to come. It's been a long time since you saw her.
Let's go easy. What's strange about an aunt going to see her nephew?
Would it be okay?
I heard there are two secretaries.
Do you... want to introduce yourself to In Sang's father?
There is nothing to lose.
I'd go visit him even if I didn't know him at all.
Look how you talk.
Don't worry. Would I really say, 'please help me'?
Sit down. Let's talk.
I was going to ask him to take my cover letter and video portfolio.
If I can just pass the resume round, I think I can do it.
Even the ones who are not as good as me get in with some sort of connections.
Seo Noo Ri!
Then you should give them to him.
There should be plenty of people who visit their house with resumes and cover letters.
We can't be one of them!
We should make sure that Bom has a comfortable life!
I'm sorry, but may I ask what the menu is for today?
Tell me. I make a set menu for guests, but I should make a dish that they like.
- Braised hairtail. - What?
Braised hairtail.
I got it.
- Good morning. - You're downstairs.
Yes, I was curious about what my parents would be eating this morning.
You're excited to see your parents?
Yes, a little.
Wear something pretty and greet them in.
I am wearing something pretty...
Change after feeding Jin Young.
Yes.
- Help her get dressed, Secretary Lee. - Yes, ma'am.
You came.
What are you doing? Isn't it time to go?
You said it's eight.
I thought I'd make a seal for my grandson.
You're early.
I need to deliver a banner.
Go upstairs and have breakfast.
What's wrong? You should be in a good mood.
Noo Ri wanted to come along, but she said no.
- Let's hurry! - Okay, okay.
What do you think?
The one before was prettier.
The color was also better on you.
A daughter-in-law should dress like one, and a daughter should dress like one.
Aren't you going to school?
You're not in the right mind. I'm on a break.
When the guests arrive, just introduce yourself and go straight to the pool.
Okay.
Two of you should greet them in from the door.
Pardon?
We should greet Father and Mother in.
It's helpful to know the flow ahead of time.
If you'd sit in the living room for a while, I will bring out his parents and Yi Ji.
It's the first official introduction.
It's a bit too grand.
My parents will be surprised.
Yeah, I know.
That's how respected guests are greeted.
- I cleaned a hairtail fish. - I'm not using it.
You said you'd braise it.
She told me not to. It doesn't go with the set menu.
- Did you talk to Secretary Yang? - Yes, just now.
Since getting the marriage license, for a total of seven times so far
two brothers had gatherings with friends, former colleagues and club members
and paid for drinks to congratulate themselves for a special relationship with Hansong.
Why wouldn't they?
And... one of acquaintances asked for help about a lawsuit.
The first daughter... is graduating this year?
Yes. She's trying to get a job, but it doesn't seem easy.
Based on what Min Joo Young found out
she started preparation to take the anchor test a year ago
and applied about three times until recently.
But she failed on the first round from all of them.
Include that in the condition.
Yes, sir.
The breakfast is expected to last about 40 minutes.
Dessert will be ready in the small living room and the reception room.
While he discusses business with her father
you will be showing the baby's grandmother around the house.
Don't leave me alone with her mother.
I'm scared.
We're waiting for a left turn signal from the main road.
Noo Ri is not coming.
She had to go to her class office for something urgent.
What the heck?
What urgent matter happens overnight?
Maybe they were worried that she'd be a bother?
Since she wasn't invited?
Seo Bom.
I'm giving you a hug ahead of time.
Even if anything upsets you... don't get hurt.
Thank you.
You can give me the car.
Welcome.
Mom!
How have you been?
I'm glad you're here.
She works in the house. She helped me a lot.
Nice to meet you.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
Please don't mention it.
Thank you for inviting us.
You must've missed your daughter and your grandson very much.
I have.
Your house is very nice.
Thank you.
Oh, this is our daughter. She's Jin Young's aunt.
My name is Han Yi Ji.
You're so pretty.
You must've had a quite a surprise to have a nephew all of a sudden.
I was happy.
You haven't seen Jin Young yet, have you?
No, not yet.
Why don't you show him?
- Yes. - Yes.
While you see your grandson, we'll prepare breakfast.
Thank you.
Hello, Secretary Yang.
No, it doesn't have to be that job.
She's failed several times already
so my guess is that she would be satisfied with any decent full-time job.
That's right.
That sounds pretty good.
Yes, then put a word in for me.
Oh, and a picture of the orchard view is missing.
We have to help them paint a detailed picture.
Yes. Yes.
You're getting a job for her sister as well?
Yes. They'll like that more than anything else.
I'm slowly getting annoyed.
How come he cries as soon as I hold him?
Okay okay, here.
Did your grandpa pinch you?
Seriously...
You must be really disappointed.
Smiling would be nice.
For babies, crying is also an exercise.
Don't be concerned.
I guess you are fine around him.
We don't have time to play with Jin Young.
The nanny always has him in her arms.
Isn't it bad to keep it that way?
She's supposed to be the best.
- Oh, the one in the living room... - Yes, yes.
Wait, is the bathroom nearby?
I'll take you there. This way.
You opened your eyes?
Smiling?
Look at him smile.
The house is so big.
What are you doing?
It's wine. A gift.
They must've made it at home.
I wonder if I could serve it with breakfast.
Still, it's a gift from the in-laws, so you should serve a glass.
I can smell it from here.
Pour me a glass, let me have a taste.
What are you doing?
I'll just touch the tip of my tongue.
My goodness.
By the way, why don't they give us breakfast?
At 8:20...
We have five minutes left.
It's a family custom.
Apologize? For what?
The memorandum.
You did it because of us, so I feel very bad.
But I'd like you to give them your sincere apology and get along with them.
I told you it can't be forced.
Cultural difference.
Hello?
I'm sorry! I got lost...
It wasn't me!
Pardon?
It wasn't you?
I mean, I'm fine.
That's a relief. You were so shocked that it got me really flustered.
I took a wrong hallway, so I came this way.
It's really fine.
Prepare breakfast now.
Yes, ma'am.
This is such a cheerful happening.
Although I feel bad for you.
The house is big, so this happens often.
I guess so.
My goodness, it must've been a real shock to you.
It looks that way.
You should have breakfast.
Everyone must be hungry.
Please go ahead.
I'll calm her down first.
Yes.
- You should guide them. - Yes.
This way please.
What's going on? You're not a kid!
What was I supposed to do?
I'm human too!
I'm already nervous that he'd recognize my voice.
And that face showed up right in front of my eyes!
We have no emotional relationship with them at all.
We don't share feelings of happiness, anger, love or joy with them.
If we were, why would we spend time and effort to create this event?
In order to gain what we want
we're creating the most effective mood in the most refined way.
Isn't that the essence of formality?
Okay, okay. I'll do well.
I'll get myself together.
Find your center.
We have to make sure that they don't abuse a relationship with us
or that they don't have any negative influence on In Sang's couple.
We have to give them a clear warning
and make them accept our offer.
Every time I breathe, I feel like I'm getting smaller.
Everything is grand.
I'm sorry.
My parents are into formalities.
You don't need to be sorry.
He's right.
Although I feel like I'm being punished.
Sorry, Mom and Dad.
Don't worry.
By the way, there are only four seats.
Are you eating separately?
Yes, parents have something to talk about.
This is the only thing I can give you.
We're sorry to keep you waiting.
It's fine.
Are you calm now?
Thanks to you.
How can you make them keep standing?
Right, I'll teach them.
Please this way.
Should I ask him for a favor about Noo Ri?
No, just go.
- Please come in. - Okay.
Jin Young's grandparents made this wine at home.
It's bellflower root wine that my mother made 30 years ago.
Wow, it's an honor.
May I... make a short speech?
Honey, please make it short since it's before the meal. Right?
I know that.
Han In Sang and Seo Bom, Seo Bom and Han In Sang.
Our precious son and daughter opened a new horizon in life.
Not just for them, but also for us
thanks to them, we have a very precious experience of facing a new world and new events.
Shall I say it is a new stage in life?
Of course. When would you have an occasion to see people like us?
Therefore, we'd like to discuss with you how we can develop a closer relationship.
It's not 30 years. Maybe three years?
Don't be picky.
- Can you give me something too? - Yes, in our room.
Seo Bom, when Jin Young's umbilical cord is dry, put it in with the seal.
Don't worry about home.
Also, forget about unfortunate incidences with your in-laws.
Raise Jin Young well with In Sang and live a happy life.
you a free spirit
but you can't buy anything with that alone.
Please listen the elders' words.
Dad has no choice but to say it like that.
Father needs to apologize to your parents first
before we listen to them or not.
I agree.
Don't worry about anything...
and just leave everything to us.
In Sang wouldn't be able to stand if Bom has any trouble.
He scores very high on empathy.
If EQ doesn't measure up
having a high IQ would be a problem.
He's been that way since he was little.
Not that I'm bragging.
You should though.
That's all I can brag about my children.
It seems that way.
You raised her very well.
Jin Young's mom and also your first daughter...
I'm sure she'll be fine.
I was going to bring my cover letter and my video portfolio.
If I can just pass the resume round, I think I can do it.
You look like a school kid who got mad because her parents didn't take her to a party.
- Do you want soup? - I'll get it.
He must be busy, but he has time to greet the in-laws.
Managing relatives and acquintances. It looks like he'll be giving them something.
- How much? - I don't know.
A small building or a franchise bakery, maybe that much?
Their daughter is a bundle of luck What a filial daughter.
The amount doesn't matter. What's important is how they give it to them.
I'm sure he'll take care of it without making them feel bad.
He's the expert in formalities.
Formalities? Too much formalities upset people.
Of course.
They can't have invited them to do that, can they?
'To do that'? I can't hear anything.
Even if you can't hear, it's obvious, fool!
Only Mom and Dad are talking.
It's not a conversation.
- Did you have breakfast? - Yes.
- Empty plates! - Leave them. I'll bring them down.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I didn't get to make braised hairtail for them.
I'll tell them to imagine that they ate it.
What are they talking about now?
It seems like a good thing for her family.
Pardon?
We're well aware of your worries
so how could we possibly eat and sleep comfortably?
We should share everything.
We may be out of line
but we thought deeply, sincerely about it.
'What would be a good way to help?'
What do you mean by that?
Yes, what do you mean?
It would be misleading to say 'we'll help Bom.'
Since she's also our family, our daughter.
If she wants and if she's capable
we plan to support her all the way.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- I'm embarrassed. - Me too.
Please don't say that.
It's a systematic problem...
it's regrettable.
What do you mean... Are you talking about us?
There is a problem.
It's really no one's fault.
Your father became successful as a technician on his own.
Your brother was also a very capable office worker, so I was told.
How do you know?
Because we're interested.
It's global recession, there won't be another boom like before.
Getting a job will become more difficult.
That's why I'm saying this...
I'll make sure that your first daughter has a secure job.
I just... couldn't bring it up.
Yes! I didn't know I'd be so sly.
That's why we're human.
Along with that, for you...
I'd like to recommend a life in the countryside.
- Pardon? - Pardon?
It's more difficult to come back in a big city if you fall.
All the compllicated situations your brother is involved in
and everything we're aware of.
We'll take care of everything.
What... do you know...
You're telling us to leave our home? Is that what you mean?
We also dream about returning to the countryside someday.
We have no plans for that yet.
Is this...
They're scaring them for sure.
Don't keep selling being Hansong's in-laws, go faraway. That's what they mean.
It's almost like violating human rights.
No, it's not that bad.
Isn't that a good thing?
Your daughter's job and an orchard with your secure life in the later years.
These don't fall short at all compared to the amount on the memorandum before.
Of course not.
You speak really well.
Just in a few minutes, you lifted us up then smashed us.
You can't just look at it that way.
Father.
Adults are talking.
You shouldn't interfere.
I'm sorry. I apologize instead.
What?
It's so sad and embarrassing...
- He's my son-in-law! - How dare you!
Han In Sang!
Sir! Sir!
You!
