Heard It Through the Grapevine Episode 8
What the heck are you doing?
How dare you make my son sleep on the sofa?
Is that what your parents do?
Go back to your house right now!
You don't need to pack.
Leave right now, just yourself!
What's going on?
Secretary Lee, take her away right now.
First, the reason...
Don't you know?
I'm asking because I don't know.
What did you say to her to provoke her again?
Look here... She wants to take it out on Han Jeong Ho right now.
She would never say rough words to her husband with her status.
She just happened to find a perfect victim to let her anger out.
That elegant lady mother-in-law.
Stop being sarcastic and work with me!
That's too bad. I don't know either. It's such a fundamental issue.
Gotta go. I'm in the middle of working too.
Thanks to someone, things got wrapped up nicely.
But he needs to be a patient for a while.
Hey, hey! Hey! Hey!
Please tell me what I did wrong.
- Yourself as a whole is wrong. - How?
- Get her in a car. - Yes, ma'am.
- What do you mean, 'yes ma'am'? - The lady's order...
Am I leaving alone? By myself?
Why are you following me? I told you to go home!
Should I reflect on myself and come back?
You said you didn't know what you did wrong!
Making In Sang sleep on the sofa?
I'm fine with it.
This idiot!
What's going on?
Mom is a little weird.
Han In Sang!
What don't you like about Bom?
Everything from one to ten!
You should judge by the end-of-semester exam. It's only been a month
so how can you possibly know all about Bom?
I'd want you to like me too
but that can't be the only goal in my life.
If I miss really important things along the way
I'll hate myself for it
and I won't be able to respect you from the bottom of my heart.
Is that your excuse?
Being respected by you is not the goal of my life either!
Let go of her hand... and take her to her room.
- Yes. - Yes.
Let me take her inside.
I'll tell you in a way it's clear to understand.
First, calm down.
Episode 8 I believe you overreacted.
It's their private life, so...
So why did you tell me?
Can't you tell what I should and shouldn't know?
Was I supposed to do nothing when I knew?
Mom and Dad are fighting...
and In Sang and Bom are fighting too.
Sometimes things happen like that.
Mom and Dad are much more serious.
It's once every two years, but it lasts for two weeks each time.
No way.
Now they have a daughter-in-law too.
Thank you.
Secretary Lee goes overboard once in a while.
Why did she report on the young people's private lives?
That's one of main duties of Secretary Lee.
To be honest, daily reporting is tiring with the same stuff everyday.
But, 'trouble in the son's couple'...
I feel proud when I throw that in once in a while. I feel like I'm doing my job.
Isn't the trouble more on the parents?
The queen majesty was upset to begin with.
That's the problem.
Just like the family issue shouldn't go over the wall
same goes with your couple's issue.
Why did you make your mother worry?
When my parents were alive
I swear that I never caused worry for my parents over an issue between me and my wife.
After so much difficulty, we acknowledged you as a husband and a wife, be adults...
What is it?
It's time that the baby is hungry...
Yes...
I'm sorry.
She wants to take it out on Han Jeong Ho right now.
Are you okay?
Don't say anything.
I need to blame Lady Shin Myung Jee, your mother.
Sure, sure. I'll listen.
It's not right to do so for the deceased...
I really can't forgive her when I think about how she fooled me.
You chased around Ji Young Ra but got dumped in the end.
But she had a clever packaging about how she was hanging onto you...
She must've liked you so much to do that.
My mother had her eye on you since you were in high school.
Who was that...
Lin Biao favored by both Chiang Kaishek and Mao Zedong at the same time.
You know the story of how that amazing Lin Biao chose his daughter-in-law, right?
When he sent dozens of people to the south of the Yellow River to choose
how high was the standard?
You're the only one who passed the selection process that's tougher than that.
Please have your pride.
I might just sew up your lips.
Look...
You are the mother of this family...
and you are my queen.
It must be my destiny.
Let go!
The war is over.
- Really? - It ended quickly.
Let's get breakfast ready.
We shouldn't fight because we'll be used politically.
If they used us to make up, it's worthwhile.
You're smart.
She is.
I think so.
Look at Jin Young.
- Another one? - Yes.
He grew more, didn't he?
He did.
He's growing like blowing air into a rubber doll.
- Is it Jin Young? - Yes.
Change your mind while you look at the picture of your grandson.
Change my mind?
We need to establish the right law even for the next generation.
Dad, are you really going?
Do you think I just said for nothing?
I woke up early and even made a picket sign!
Really?
Try to stop Dad.
If you're really going to do it, do it for real.
Of course I'll do it for real!
We have so much to maintain by working together.
Every minute of every day is a battle for me.
Give me courage.
What could I do?
I have to accept it.
Now, let's start a new day again.
As for hiring top students from the Judicial Training Center
decide from the top five based on personal meetings.
Yes sir.
Have a good day.
What time are we scheduled to arrive at the office?
If everything goes well, it's 9:30.
Make sure I can see the first round of Daesan documents in the car.
Yes, I'll download the file.
I need to talk to you. See you at night.
Yes, sir. Have a good day.
- Have a good day. - Have a good day.
Are you okay?
Can you even breathe?
- Yes. - Yes.
That's good.
Now, Chapter three of a clear global perspective.
By the way, do you all line up to see him off every morning?
Most of the time.
I've been to many places...
but it's amazing.
Hair loss was forced when hair roots were extremely weak.
So I can't guaranteed that hair will grow back in this part here.
Forced hair loss...
Besides, given that the hair loss in round patches continues to progress...
What should I do then?
Surgery is the most certain way.
First, plant 3000 hairs...
What about pain?
It's still surgery, so it will cause some pain.
After you wake up from anesthesia, during recovery and taking root...
Could you simulate the pain? I'm a bit sensitive to pain.
Please take a look at this.
This is the condition of the scalp right after transplanting 3000 hairs.
Can you imagine?
It was a mistake that he stopped by at the doctor's office in the morning.
What is he going to do?
He must really hate the pain.
He grew up without even a cut under his fingernail.
His mother Lady Shin Myung Ji raised him that way.
Hi, please bring a cup of green for Attorney Han.
I'll take it in.
Thank you.
I'm worried that your mind and body may be tired.
The conditions are... pretty depressing.
Polarization has reached a serious level.
Please have some tea.
It's been exactly 25 years since I first met you.
It's already been that long...
You were sophomore in college...
To me, you still look the same from back then.
That can't be the case.
You've accomplished a lot both at work and at home.
Despite numerous criticisms and misunderstandings
you've always chosen the righteous path.
I only make an effort to do that.
'Am I taking a wrong path in life?'
I look back often.
That's exactly what your virtue is.
You're too kind.
Even back then, unlike other young people
you were very different in your behavior and your heart.
By any chance, am I leading a life of too much self-control?
I heard hair grows fast when you imagine sexual stuff...
Of course it's a joke.
May I also tell you a joke?
You are tall, so it's not easy to check on density of the top of your head.
Someone should be as tall as a basketball player to do that.
That's right.
I may be out of line...
but please don't worry too much.
Caesar didn't have much hair either.
Of course, you're the only one who reads my mind, Secretary Yang.
Why did his in-law have to do such a cute thing to him?
He's already full of stress.
- I heard it's hereditary. - Not his father.
- Skipping a generation... - Oh, that's right.
How will I get through today? I can't just focus on work.
Success.
I earned my keep.
Thank you!
There is no loophole in legal principles, so why does it matter?
Public opinion is pretty strong.
Wages for the laid-off employees are not resolved yet
Chairman Jang created a slush fund with his in-law's family.
That issue will be dealt separately.
It means that we negotiated with prosecutors using a part of Chairman Jang's confession...
But take a look at the documents.
The layoff date and the last payment date are the same.
They're making an issue of that part.
The date on the paper is different from the real date.
Evasion of law?
We don't have any.
How would we manipulate the tax record of that fiscal year?
The laid-off employees' group is requesting a meeting.
They already reported their rally for noon today. In front of this building.
No response is the best response.
What about an expression like this?
'Bold silence.'
It's a poetic expression.
I've gotten old, right?
That's not true.
Since the new member came in, it's been too much on my body and my mind.
I feel like I've gone through a few years in a month.
You don't look like you've gone through any of those worries.
Tell me honestly.
Should I go through any medical procedure?
I agree with your daughter-in-law.
What did she say?
Don't you remember?
When your friends came...
the first thing she bragged about her mother-in-law was
that 'she is overwhelmingly beautiful.'
Don't you acknoweldge that she's not capable of lying?
I guess, only on that one.
If she didn't have any merits like that
I couldn't have accepted her even if the sky split in half.
That's why.
What do you think? Do you like it?
Do I like it?
Is there someone else other than you?
I'm not sure just by looking at it.
Can I tell you after taking a careful look?
It's pretty. And it looks clean.
Then it's yours. It's my gift.
Pardon?
You're not an adult, so I can't give you proper jewelry yet.
But I figure this is pretty much attached to your clothes, so I'm giving it to you.
I'll do my best. Thank you.
Why don't you try it now? It'll look good on you.
No, Jin Young tries to grab everything when he eats. Something like, 'grasp reflex.'
That's right.
It's been too long for me, so I forgot.
- I'll put it in a case. - Thank you.
But why are you giving it to me...
You don't like me...
I can't say you're scoring 100 points...
but I do like that you are honest.
I should compliment you when you deserve it as a grownup.
Thank you so much.
Going forward, without any lies...
Why are you smiling?
Because I'm happy.
- You should go. - Yes.
Thank you so much.
Here is the date of summary judgment for Mr. Seo Hyung Sik.
With Judge Lee Jae Seok on January 15th.
The judge was the class of 37 from the Judicial Training Center.
I know him.
His father retired as a low-rank employee of the Financial Services Commission.
I'll call him after I send something to his father.
Yes, write a greetings note with my name on it.
I'll ask for a penalty of about two million.
He'll probably substitute with labor.
Then how many days will it be?
- Forty days? - Yes.
[Reflect on yourself Hansong Resolve the unpaid wage right now!]
[Reflect on yourself, Han Jeong HO What's with the in-law's bossy behavior]
Gather at 11:20 and start building at 11:30.
As soon as we occupy the barricades, gather in front of the front door.
Stop Hansong counsels from leaving at noon.
- Here you go. Please wear it. - No, not for me. No...
It's pretty empty in front of the building.
Of course it is.
Fifty meters in front and on both sides are our land.
We donated it to be used as a street.
And...
Who is he?
Mr. Seo Hyung Sik.
What's this?
- He's just leaving. - Yes.
If he can tell what's right vs. wrong, he should reflect on himself.
I might need to go through surgery.
Did you?
I did.
Did you let him see you?
He must've gotten scared a little.
His secretary came out and asked me to be considerate.
And?
He wanted to speak to me in a quiet place, so I told him to forget it and just came back.
I should think about Bom, too.
Even for Bom, you should've been stronger.
If you keep going easy on him, he'll think nothing of you.
Well, that's true...
What is he talking about with Teacher?
I think he'll discuss your college entrace exam.
He specializes in tutoring.
I'll get a tutor too?
Han Jin Young, go easy on her!
Speak nicely to the baby.
What else would we talk to you about?
- It's about the kids. - Please go ahead.
First, I'd like to know if you have been able to identify her character.
She doesn't seem extraordinary, but then she doesn't seem to fall behind...
We can't insist on the best university on her.
She's not an idiot
so if you teacher with a focus
she'll probably get into a pretty good female university.
She'll catch up to a degree on manners and perspective with training.
But, for her character...
we can't do much about it.
Please listen without any judgment.
We have a bit of negative opinion on her parents.
We don't think they had much good influence on their child either.
Therefore, I'd like her to become someone suitable for my son.
In conclusion, will she achieve a background that you want? Is that it?
- That's... right. - Not all of them.
I'll give you a short answer.
Seo Bom is not at the level of the college entrance exam.
First, she doesn't lack as a pacemaker for In Sang's preparation for the legal civil exam.
Pardon?
In a way, she's much better than In Sang for return on investment.
Her English, linguistics and reading comprehension
interpreting precedents and deductive reasoning...
If it was up to me, I'd put her on the same path with In Sang right now.
She can just take the GED this year.
We can even hope for the youngest one to be qualified.
Passing the GED and giving birth out of wedlock...
At that point, she's almost like a heroine of a legend.
She'll be perfect as a talent for Hansong.
Let me take a look.
Give her a test before you go.
- Let's see in the morning. - Yes, sir.
Honey.
Would In Sang fall behind? Because she's too strong?
What's with the old-fashioned remark? It's the 21st century!
Why? Are you perfectly fine?
To make their marriage truly shine...
to prove that we didn't let in just anyone...
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
About what?
It's a chance for you to be accepted.
You can surprise Father. Make him lost for words.
Is it okay if I do better than you?
Of course. You're completely self-generated electricity.
Don't blame yourself. Tutoring doesn't work on everyone.
Whatever.
I put a bucket of hot water for you.
That's not even enough. I have to wash my hair too.
Besides, chile was spilled at work, so the smell got on me.
Go to a bath house in the morning.
From what I heard
the one in charge of intel there is Min Joo Wan's sister.
What?
She went to the police academy, but couldn't get a job because of her brother.
But Hansong hired her.
How could she work there with that kind of background?
Min Joo Wan was a whistleblower at the prosecutor's office.
He blew the whistle while he was working at your office in disguise.
I also found that was really strange, so I really thought about it...
Bom's father-in-law is truly extraordinary.
They have a few people with this background.
Some of the seniors participated in demos in the past.
So, he's hiring both sides to take the middle ground?
He's called a balanced man from others and himself.
Really...
The more I know, the more I get intimidated.
We have a lot to lose! We have a lot of tedious, embarrassing stuff!
Tell me honestly. I'll give you a confession time.
About what?
Why do you feel bad?
Don't pull your socks inside out.
What is it?
It's no big deal.
It's a minor traffic law violation. It's a small penalty case.
Maybe a penalty of about 500,000 won if it's high...
That's a small amount?
Even 10,000 won is big to me!
If I get really unlucky, it could be that much.
If it's a normal judgment...
I could get community service or be released with a warning.
If the judge for the summary judgment
didn't have a fight with his wife over his kid's grades
or didn't get pressured from his boss, something like that?
Is that what you're hoping for?
In the country governed by law?
He's already out.
I'm not nervous.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Why did you come along? - Just because...
- Of course I should... - Will you take the exam holding hands?
No. You can go.
Have a seat.
It happens to be the right time. This is a good book.
I heard you read it together with In Sang.
Chapter 21.
There is a part where the philosophy of market economy is mentioned.
Find it and read it out loud.
A prince should also show his esteem for talent, actively encouraging able men
and honoring those who excel in their progression.
Then he must encourage his citizens
so that they can go passively about their business
whether it be trade or agriculture or any other human occupations.
One man should not be afraid of improving his possessions
lest they be taken away from him
or another deterred by high taxes from starting a new business.
Why... is it that part?
To let anyone earn money and gather wealth
means market won't be controlled.
It is also the principle of capitalism and the market economy
and the start of 'the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.'
Is it your opinion?
No, I learned it in economics class.
Isn't she good?
Was the teacher in the union?
She didn't even have a tutor!
I know.
Calculate how much you've spent so far.
Good morning.
She's too upbeat. It's not good.
Was it a problem to get caught on the talisman?
There is an issue with the perspective...
but good job.
Come down every morning and read two pages.
Yes.
Go ahead.
Yes.
- Did I do well? - You were awesome!
Father was so surprised.
That's a relief... that she's not an idiot.
She's pretty good.
Thank you.
Is he going to support her now?
For the glory of the family.
Are you sick?
His conscience must be hurting.
When he's hiding something from me, he always has symptoms of the flu.
I'm really sick. I'm not just showing the symptoms.
Maybe not his conscience, but his...
Isn't that it?
I'm all recovered.
That's good.
I'm making vegetable porridge.
- Do you want to eat with us? - No, I already had a hangover soup.
I'll lie down for a bit. Tell me when you're done.
Turn on the electric blanket and make sure to pull up the cover.
It's a notice for your summons.
Why did you bring it up here?
You should hide it somewhere in the store.
You should've attended!
Your penalty will increase.
Do you have any money?
I'm even late on my cellphone bill.
Maybe I shouldn't have had the fight.
Why? You should go for a demonstration alone.
You said he got scared.
What did I tell you?
With that powerful in-law, does it make sense that you're worrying about this?
It's not a worry...
what I mean is, smashing a rock with an egg is strategically idiotic...
Is it done?
Every time brothers whisper
my heart drops.
- We didn't say anything. - Here.
Be careful not to catch a cold from him.
Why did you speak right in front of the food? You could spit in it.
Please eat.
Thank you.
Sometimes embarrassing things happen in life...
but not anymore.
His parents are one reason...
but it will be also embarrassing for the kids.
Hi! Is everything okay?
What about In Sang?
You had a fight?
Yes, a couple's fight.
For the first time.
Why did you tell her?
We made up already.
Yes, Mom.
It was fun.
I gained a lot.
Yes.
Mark it on the calendar. That's also an anniversary.
So? Who won?
Oh my.
You shouldn't do that!
You should yield. It doesn't look good to the elders either.
Why do you care about the elders?
Don't try to win all the time.
You should hold back on saying what's right.
We are also... in the right timing...
thinking about asking to make up.
What?
When the difference is so wide, both families should try to get along.
Dad, you must've become a wise man all of a sudden.
What did he say?
I don't know. Everything's good.
They... really like me.
Do you want to talk to In Sang?
Hold on.
Hello, this is In Sang. Have you been well?
Oh, yes.
It's not that...
Bom behaves the way my parents want...
so they recognized her true value.
What's her schedule like?
It doesn't have to be grand.
I believe she can read an introductory book and start right away.
She can go out to get some air and take the GED.
Go ahead then.
Everything worked out...
so I don't know why I feel this way.
Right?
I feel like we're a bit distanced.
As long as they recongize how smart our daughter is
and they like her without prejudice
I thought I'd forgive them for whatever mean things they do.
But I feel...
I feel like she's taken away.
It just means we're immature.
You said you were going out.
I should go.
See you later.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Come quickly and take care of the store.
It's my summary judgment today!
Ms. Min Joo Young?
Right?
You went to the police academy...
You're the sister of Min Joo Wan.
You know me very well.
I worked in the same company with your brother.
And I don't need to tell you that I'm Seo Bom and Seo Noo Ri's uncle.
You caught me. This almost never happens.
I heard you're at the pro level from Joo Wan.
When I feel bad, I get caught.
Do you even feel bad?
This is not a stalker. It's a private surveillance even at the first glance.
Please understand. I have a duty to report.
That's you duty.
Why don't you stop? I really am sorry.
You should explain and promise that you'll stop right away.
I understand. I'll call you. Then...
Who is she?
No, it's nothing. Get in.
Hey, you mean all of us are targets of surveillance?
We should assume that way.
Nonsense.
I was so envious of lives under management
but I'll decline this kind of management.
Don't tell Bom.
She's almost like a stranger.
The way you speak...
When you were picketing the other day...
you said the secretary came out and asked for consideration.
He didn't exactly say that...
Now I think about it...
I guess he didn't want to ignore me, so just as a greeting...
That's why! You should have gone strong!
If I went strong, it would've have been a bigger trouble.
The secretary didn't really run out, did he?
To be honest, I saw the picketers outside and just came back.
I did the right thing, didn't I?
That's true.
- I already had a freezing moment today. - Why?
I got a penalty of two million!
I can't really say it's unrelated.
Isn't he scaring you?
How am I going to pay?
Do you have any money?
Why does Bom have to be kept in the dark?
I don't know what happened, but now everyone likes her...
but how much did we worry about her up to this point?
When I think about the shock that day last year, I still can't breathe.
I know.
Did you hear about my brother recently?
I just heard rumors.
I'm not an active member, I just have my name there.
I heard he's recuperating in the countryside somewhere?
Yes.
He gave up on the normal life
so I'm the head of the household.
Hansong is my savior.
Still, aren't you too loyal?
People like us won't start anything grand.
What is this?
Your brother got a big penalty for his case, didn't he?
Pay it with that. It's Attorney Han's consideration.
Really...
He gives us an illness and medicine.
Is that it?
I don't make comments about work.
Then let me ask you a private question.
Just how much do you know?
I should go.
I hope we don't have an occasion to meet. Bye.
Don't watch over me.
You look immature.
What... did I do...
Seo Noo Ri applied to cable stations instead of major networks
and passed the first round. She's waiting for the second round.
What's the competition for the second round?
It's 1.2 : 1.
Let's invite the vice president there to our club.
Come up with a good reason.
Yes, sir.
The first way is natural to men and the second to beasts.
But as the first way improves in the etiquette
one must need to have recourse to the second.
So appraiser must understand how to make a nice use of the beast and the man.
The ancient writer taught prince about this by an allegory.
Is it okay to leave her family like that?
Not because I like them.
Don't be concerned.
No matter what I give them, regardless of how small, they will be thankful now.
Humble and honest.
It doesn't look good to other people.
That actually looks better.
A genius girl from an honest family.
I confirmed that he paid the penalty.
He hasn't made any move since then.
- Keep an eye on him. - Yes.
Vice President Lee from DL Media is in the club.
How many minutes do I have?
You have a kick-off meeting for selling a related company of Sangjae Group in 30 minutes.
- I'll ask for Secretary Kim to come along. - Yes sir.
He's meeting with the vice president of DL Media?
Yes. But the first daughter looks like she'll get in without his help.
He should show that he cares about them.
Maximum effect with the minimum cost.
With only two million won and one lunch
touching their hearts and scaring them.
How do you feel? You think you'll get it?
I don't know.
But the vice president asked me a lot of questions.
If I get it, I'll work there. I won't have lingering feelings for major networks.
Well... would that be better?
Why? Aren't you happy?
- Are you disappointed? - No, it's not that...
What is it?
Your dad got into trouble without telling me and had a penalty fee of two million.
But he gave the money through his secretary.
I wonder... if he's taking care of your situation too.
Does he mean that we should keep quiet and take whatever he throws at us?
You don't need to say it that way...
Han In Sang!
Open it.
Go to bed early.
- Yes. - Yes.
Why did he have to come in?
I like it.
Are you happy that you're acknowledged now?
Who wouldn't like that?
It's like a dream.
There were a lot of hardships.
What was the toughest thing?
Let's all calm down.
Calm down...
I'll ask you.
When did it happen?
How long has it been?
Nine weeks.
You really didn't know until now?
Let's go... to the hospital.
I did.
Hey, it's just a tadpole still...
I can't do it.
I want to have it.
The face is just getting formed...
and eyes and fingers are coming out.
If I submit the confirmation and request...
I heard I get about 150,000 won a month.
My goodness!
- What did she just say? - Honey...
Who is he?
He's not a bad kid.
- We loved each other, so... - Hey!
How is that love? That's just playing with fire!
- Who is he? - Please, honey. Sit down.
Please, slowly. Slowly, honey...
To be honest, Noo Ri, I had you from playing with fire with that man...
Shut your mouth!
- Mom, what are you saying? - Really?
It's not the time to talk about that!
Why, why! Why did you only learn about bad things?
At least I was over twenty!
