Heard it Through the Grapevine Episode 20
- You're still so good. - Thank you.
You're so accurate.
Thank you.
Shall we?
Yeon Hee.
Don't scold me.
What are you talking about?
My husband filed the paper.
That's why I came by today.
I'm a failure.
No, you're not.
Why is it a failure to end an unhappy marriage?
It should be a real failure to continue with it.
I was often sad to see you in that marriage.
I want to congratulate you.
What's going on?
They are in the private room together?
My life is over.
Have faith please.
What is it?
They are quietly having a conversation.
Yes.
I understand.
I forgot the basics.
I let the attacker and the victim face each other.
Truthfully, it's been tough for me.
I thought I should apologize to you first.
No.
Mr. Han acted so immature.
I must have irritated you.
Yeon Hee.
Grabbing hair and fighting between women
isn't it so ugly?
While sisterhood isn't enough...
An enemy of a woman is another woman.
Let's not do that.
You seem like you had an awakening.
I've simply become more mature.
We just get wiser as we age.
But I should apologize, and...
lessen the burden in my heart...
Who says you could lessen the burden?
What?
Live with that burden.
As you look...
Oh my.
Live getting scolded by me like this.
Did you come back from hell?
What makes a woman strong...
80 percent of is a husband's adultery and...
the remaining 20 percent is evil friends like you.
Go elsewhere for your divorce case.
Don't come near this place ever again.
My alimony is pretty huge.
Fix your make-up and leave.
I understand.
How did you become so tough?

We should use this to our advantage, right?
Of course.
I'll give you my opinion after I review this.
At that time, Seo Chul Sik was the first person to inform the danger to the company.
I think this is a very important piece of information.
The company not addressing the issue immediately...
it's a breach of contract.
It's clearly stated in the document.
Oh, chapter two clause two...
Due to perceived unsafe working condition, the worker...
can always request a change of working condition.
Correct.
I don't know why they ignored that clause.
The executive branch wasn't working at that time.
Jackpot.
They said the battle is over for now.
Who won?
I'm not sure.
Can I now go?
Wait for the final confirmation.
See you again, Mr. Cool.
Are you okay...
I knew that you were okay, but...
Call Mr. Han to come up.
I will.
Something big happened, didn't it?
Pardon?
What is it?
I already know that you made a huge mistake today.
I could offer you a job at my company...
I'll add one more zero at the end for the severance pay.
Actually...
In Sang, her son went up against them and since then...
Gosh, I shouldn't be saying this.
Please disregard it.
You came, sir.
You're still here?
In Sang must have helped his mother mature big time, huh?
What do you mean?
Protect your infamous family.
See you again.
- What was that about? - Nothing.
Are you okay, honey?
Have a seat.
- Did you two get into a fight? - I just gave her advice.
Good job.
That's friendship.
- Honestly, about Ji Young Ra... - Enough of it.
- Shall we talk about the kids? - We should.
We should definitely set things straight.
- How fun is that! - Oh my.
It's fun, isn't it?
You like looking at animals, don't you?
You like it, don't you?
- Oh my. - Hello.
Hi, Secretary Lee.
- What a surprise to see you. - It is.
I wanted to stop by quick when Mrs. Han isn't around.
- I've got caught by you. - It's okay.
- How come you came back alone? - Ah, the hair salon...
She asked for the new massage oil.
Ah, I will bring it out.
Excuse me.
Sure.
Could you excuse us for a minute?
I wanted to talk to her about something.
Of course.
She may have something to tell her in private.
Actually...
I still can't get used to this.
My daughter always walks around on egg shells in this house.
Of course from a mother's perspective...
But she's doing really well.
It doesn't seem so.
I thought it'd get hard to talk to you in private.
It will be wise not to get on Mrs. Han's nerves right now.
According to Secretary Yang...
your uncle's matter is deeply tangled into the matter.
Can you keep distance from her?
I always keep safe distance from others.
except when I am dating...
Tell me.
That matter is out of our hands and on its own.
Secretary Yang should have noticed that by now.
Good then.
You should focus on what goes on in the house for now.
As you can imagine
Seems like something big is going to happen in the house.
This relationship of ours won't be tolerated.
I am prepared to go back to the old way, but...
I guess I'll go through it.
It's not a laughing matter.
Then shall I cry instead?
I'm surprised to find that side of Han In Sang.
After he was forgiven about the major trouble
I thought he was living a quiet life as a good boy.
Their house must be almost a disaster area.
The family isn't one of those average families for sure.
They are probably in panic.
You can see a person's true color in a situation like this.
Yes?
Was it a family butler?
You know more than I do.
Oh my gosh. Alright then.
I understand. Alright then.
Talk to you soon.
Hey, did you hear about In Sang?
Didn't he say anything?
What is it?
I'm feeling a little bit guilty.
I was told not to tell Min Jae.
Starting with that, it's almost a nuclear explosion.
In Sang literally went after the detonator.
His point was 'Live righteously, father', but...
It's not an act of a teenager going through a phase.
That's too bad...
I was wondering why I couldn't get a hold of Yeon Hee.
Gosh, what should we do?
I can't bring myself to talk to her about it.
You're right.
What Young Ra is asking back is not a small amount.
Gosh, let's do it this way.
Are you with someone in here?
Oh my, So Jung! Long time no see.
I agree. Good to see you.
- Where have you been? - I just saw Yeon Hee.
- Did you? - Did you?
I felt sorry for her.
She's in a dilemma.
Ah, I'm thirsty.
- Can I get something to drink? - Sure.
- I will do it. - Okay.
I'm glad to see you smiling.
Thanks. The divorce experience should be a happy one.
Of course.
Why don't you two call Yeon Hee to make her feel better?
Ah, we should do that.
It must be hard for her.
If she acts that stiff
I'm concerned that she might collapse.
We can ignore the hatred for our husbands.
But we can't do the same when it's about our kids.
It just breaks your heart when your kids betray you.
- That's so true. - I wouldn't know as I don't have kids.
Considering how Yeon Hee is...
It will be hell.
Try this.
Where did you get it?
Someone I know made it herself and gave it to me.
I've been thinking.
It tastes rather good.
What are you thinking about?
Why don't you eat more?
You know the empty lot your mother has.
I might ask Chul Sik to grow something there.
Actually...
I was thinking about suggesting that myself.
But now you said it.
It feels really weird.
When they asked us to work on an orchid
you got all mad about their idea of moving our entire life.
Now we are doing the same thing to your brother...
Gosh, I'm beginning to hate myself now.
What are we supposed to do then?
They are too powerful.
They are trying to teach us a lesson.
You call that teaching us a lesson?
I just heard it from someone.
They might try to do that on us...
What's going on with him?
Wait a little.
He will probably tell us something.
Did you ask for me?
Have a seat. It will take long.
Yes, I will.
You saw it all, so you may know.
Things were in disarray around the house.
Retrospectively, it's mostly my fault.
The rules we followed before my late mother-in-law passed away...
have become loose.
I wasn't confident that I could fill her shoes and...
I thought it would be suppressing the kids unlike the era we live in.
For those reasons, I let them be.
And this is the result.
The adult makes trouble and...
the kids make trouble too.
I think you went through a lot.
The rules we followed when my late mother-in-law was around...
I will bring them back.
You remember them, don't you?
Yes.
Since it's been a while, it will be difficult at first.
We all will have to get used to them.
The kids and the servants too.
Please pass this exact message on to them.
I will do so, but...
What kind of answer is that?
How about compromising a little ?
I realized compromising was the main problem.
This is what happened after I compromised.
You are right.
I already talked to Mr. Han about this.
I understand.
He passed on his power to her, so he will lose.
How can a married couple live like that?
How can they sleep on the same bed?
First, I will tell you three things that must be executed.
Pardon?
First, the uniform.
Have the cooks wear the same uniforms.
You two should wear the formal uniforms you used to wear.
What's going on?
Second, they want their tea or coffee in the morning thirty minutes earlier.
Third, when all family members eat, you and I should stay standing.
What do you mean?
We should be standing?
We've gone back to the time when the lady was around.
First, they would like a morning greeting.
Pardon?
You two, Yi Ji, and your son...
You should be fully dressed at seven in the morning and...
address your parents in the morning.
Are we filming for a historical drama?
And then you two should accompany your father on a morning walk.
I'm speechless.
I'm okay with the exercise..
They want you to lose ten kilograms, Yi Ji.
Please keep that in mind.
How many kilograms?
At 6:30 in the morning
have Jin Young dressed and ready.
Pardon?
You're home.
You heard it from your mother, right?
- Yes. - Well...
I want you to think about her intention and keep the rules.
You're home.
Honey, you look very nice today.
Thank you for noticing.
Mom, isn't ten kilograms too much?
Yi Ji.
I will tell you why people spend time and money to lose weight.
If you can't control your own weight
the statistics show that you won't be good at other things.
What it means is that obese is...
I can control myself just fine!
Why don't you do that with yours?
- What? - Yi Ji!
I will go to her.
It's gotten a little bit too much.
Who is responsible for this?
No need to explain further.
Please come inside.
When your mind is not in the right place
forcing your body is one way to go.
What a tyrant.
Harsh words, defamation of character...
I have been going easy on them.
Don't cry.
Let's follow the rules first and try to talk to them.
You do that.
What should we do?
They want us to give up.
Don't give up and fight.
I will move out of the house.
I will study abroad.
Let me come with you.
Me too.
I'm not kidding.
I'm so sick of that mask.
I want payback.
This is ridiculous.
I never thought I'd have to wear this again.
If they tell us so, we should put it on.
What's gotten into them?
This is very uncomfortable.
Don't be mad at me.
We're almost in shock now.
We think they might be sick or something.
If Mr. Park were here, we'd ask him to analyze the reason.
I can't believe how they let him go.
Ask them directly.
They told me to ask questions through you.
There is one more thing to address.
They want the menu for the next morning written and left on the table.
Gosh.
Then...
Your seat is over there.
It's close to the study room.
Please tell the ladies to comfort Yi Ji.
They are in panic mode too.
How about you, Secretary Lee?
I'm hanging in here.
All the servants are against the changes.
Then we have a hope.
Time to wake up!
- Time to wake up! - No way!
Oh my, this is not the way.
Good morning.
Gosh, what is this all about?
Jin Young, did you have a good night sleep?
Good morning.
Did you have a good night?
Jin Young, come here.
Try to look happy now.
Don't you know this is a comedy?
How dare you speak to your mother that way?
Please stop acting.
I want to post this on SNS to vote.
- What did you say? - Not a good idea.
You two are funny and pathetic.
Stop right there!
You ruined your younger sister too. Can't you see that?
It's a big mistake. A serious crime.
Stay on with the original plan.
Of course.
Have a good day at work.
Have a pleasant and happy day today, okay?
Thank you.
On the new contract
increase his salary by adding a zero at the end.
I understand.
One more thing...
When it comes to those guys
we should satisfy both their trust and pride.
Even if I work for money
I work for justice in disguise.
That's the idea.
True.
Suggest something more concrete.
I understand.
Hey, Secretary Lee, it's me.
I called to see how my wife is doing.
Please hold on.
She is reading right now.
I see.
Please tell her to call me when she is free.
It's nothing serious.
Please tell her that I wanted to hear her voice.
That's right. Of course.
Thank you. Then...
This is hard.
Although our history isn't long
I thought we could open up to each other.
That's why I called you.
- It's okay, right? - Of course, you're like a big sister.
By the way
did you do that because you were going to quit?
Honestly, I wasn't thinking that far.
But when I sat in the leather chair there
I felt like quitting.
Do you know what it was?
No one plans to work there.
A glass of champagne and a spoon of caviar...
Then your determination gets tested.
I wouldn't know the difference in the taste.
But I get sold on the idea.
Wait, will I be able to climb up to this position?
And then it becomes... I want to get to that position and next...
I will get to that. I will take any chance.
You have my full devotion.
This is how your soul gets stolen.
It was the leather sofa's fault.
By the way, why did you want to see me?
What do you think?
If you had done your job right, things wouldn't have come this far.
At a young age
it's no big deal to go against his father.
Mr. Han could have let it go at that.
Plus, if In Sang had come to his senses
he would have felt the actual power and all.
It's right and wrong at the same time.
What is wrong?
So what is your point?
Would I want to see you to offer you a leather sofa, champagne and caviar?
We should have an opposition party in Mr. Han's territory, too.
People like us have nowhere to rely on.
Mr. Han says a lot of this and that at the moment, but...
he needs someone who can tutor the kids.
He will ask to see you soon.
He may add one more zero at the end of your salary for you.
I want you to do the teaching job, but...
mainly I want you to become someone we can rely on.
Lately...
there are so many problems.
Think about it.
Seo Chul Sik says he can't leave the store.
Then we can go meet him there.
Would it be okay?
I will be okay, but...
I can go there with Seo Noo Ri.
I see. I understand.
Sure.
It seems Yoon Je Hoon continues to see Seo Noo Ri.
I'm not sure.
You're saying it was unexpected, right?
Since it was a favor from Song
I thought he'd see her as a courtesy and stop.
- Are you going straight home? - No.
I'm going to see Seo Chul Sik.
What?
When you asked me if I was seeing him
he suddenly looked different.
So I asked him out on a date.
I lose.
It was stupid of me to see how you'd react.
- I will go first. - Sure. See you tomorrow.
Mr. Han, excuse me.
I have two things to report.
First, I spoke to Mr. Park as you told me.
The other is about Min Joo Young.
It seems she and Seo Chul Sik may develop something
Good.
It's what we hoped.
If they start dating, he won't think about other nonsense.
I will continue to watch them.
Your brother and sister-in-law worry about you, don't they?
Gosh, this is all I can offer.
It seems things have gotten out of control.
I was worried about Bom.
So I thought about it.
If she truly wants them to treat her with respect there
she should have something her in-laws don't have.
She should know how to do what they can't do.
Otherwise, she will have to live the same way.
Same goes with In Sang too.
I hope your brother feels that way too.
If he does, he will change.
Before I met you and learned about the truth
I was so focused on my injuries.
I was lending my name here and there.
I was no different.
Ah, here they come.
Your niece won't like me.
Of course not.
Hello, I'm Min Joo Young.
Hello.
I'm sorry about the trouble.
Not at all.
This is Yoon Je Hoon.
- Nice to meet you. I'm Yoon Je Hoon. - Nice to meet you.
You could've asked to meet him elsewhere.
Ah, I couldn't leave the store.
Your parents just got back from a funeral home.
Gosh, I'm going to bed now.
When we were coming up
- Wasn't he alone? - Is he with someone now?
I think I'm hearing someone's voice.
Do you want to go downstairs?
I wonder if it's the woman...
What if it's her?
Go to bed.
Man, that punk, seriously...
Gosh, I'm going to bed.
If you file a lawsuit by yourself
the things overlooked back then could become an issue.
What Yoon Je Hoon is focusing on is...
the fact that you were the first one to report the danger.
It's a valid reasoning.
Yes, I will do it.
I will write up a petition first.
Why don't we go over it and discuss?
Let's do that.
This may be a stupid question, but...
are you okay, uncle?
It's feasible.
Don't worry.
Go up. I will close the store and show them out.
- Okay. - Good night.
See you.
Bye.
- Were you with them too? - Yes.
He was too?
What did you guys talk about?
Come up and tell us.
- A lawsuit as an individual? - First...
They want to start with compensation for the damage.
- Him alone? - Yes.
A group of lawyers are ready.
It's a face off with Hansong.
Uncle will do that.
You should stop him no matter what.
- Dad. - Don't say anything.
It will only hurt him more.
I know that, but...
He has to stop him for his daughter, but...
he also wants to support his brother.
What would you do if you were him?
Honey...
what should I do with him, huh?
What do we do with Bom?
Why am I so pathetic?
I don't have the answer.
It may be time to leave here.
- I don't feel good. - What?
When the lady passed, my work has gotten easier.
Is that why I find this hard right now?
I keep wanting to revolt.
Think about one more zero for your severance pay and hold back.
She got that number because she worked here for twenty five years.
It's been only sixteen years for me.
You've been here only for twenty years.
That's not such a short time.
Every time I see that picture, I sigh.
Where did all my youth go?
It's something no money can possibly buy.
Why are you doing that? You're depressing me.
Aren't you? It's depressing for you too, right?
Just think about that one more zero.
How can we trust that?
It's not like it's on our contract...
When the management company was set up
Secretary Yang asked us to sign documents outlining insurances, job security and all.
We ended up signing the documents.
We didn't even read them.
If we ask to read them now, will it be weird?
It might be a little uncomfortable, but...
we will have to ask Secretary Lee.
I don't know.
Right to pursue human dignity and worth and happiness
is to be guaranteed as the most basic human rights.
The country recognizes sacred individual human rights and...
has the responsibility to guarantee them.
Chapter eleven.
All citizens are equal before the law.
Whoever it is, gender, religion, or...
What is it?
We have our method with Mr. Park.
You still haven't learned anything, have you?
What time does your class end tomorrow?
- Around five. - Come by my work.
I will make you realize how ignorant and cocky you are.
I understand.
Try to talk to your father.
I have a lot to talk to him about, but...
I'm afraid I'd get shut down.
But still...
- He hasn't come up yet? - He will be up soon.
I will talk to him, so you don't have to say anything.
- Actually... - I said stay out.
I'm here.
- Did you have breakfast? - I ate some.
- Can we have some tea? - I'm okay.
- Have a seat. - Sure.
I'm very sorry.
Can you please stop the lawsuit?
What happened?
I thought we were keeping an eye on them.
I couldn't detect that.
I couldn't even imagine Seo Chul Sik would file a lawsuit against Daesan.
Where is Yang Jae Hwa?
Who is this person in front of me making excuses?
What was your most recent report?
Wasn't it that Min Joo Young might be going out with Seo Chul Sik?
Correct.
How can you do that?
When she was about to stab you in the back,
was that everything you could read from her?
I'm mortified and sorry.
I'm so irritated.
It's like a worm when...
Did you already file the lawsuit?
Yes.
Don't worry.
If we change a tiny bit now
Bom will live a better life and it will be all good.
If not, Bom will have to live as a monster, too.
I understand what you mean, but...
you can still withdraw, right?
This doesn't just involve me.
Do you know who is representing me?
It has to be one of those public law firms...
- Yoon Je Hoon at Hansong. - What?
- Noo Ri's friend? - Correct.
How is it even possible?
Did he leave his job at Hansong or what?
It's possible to do that there.
How? Mr. Han wouldn't let him do that.
Oh my gosh.
I'm getting a thrill now.
Tell me more.
It's like...
Can I see Mr. Han?
I will ask him.
It's me, sir.
Attorney Yoon wants to see you.
Is that okay?
Yes?
What is it about?
I got a case from someone I personally know.
I wonder if it's okay for me to take the case.
Tell me.
He's an uncle of my girlfriend.
It's about a damage claim from the breach of a contract.
Against one of the Daesan's affiliates.
It's Hyungsan industry.
- If it's your girlfriend... - Yes.
She's your daughter-in-law's sister, Seo Noo Ri.
Then it makes your client Seo Chul Sik, right?
If it makes you uncomfortable, I will give it to someone else.
No.
Hansong is actually a private firm.
I wasn't worried about representation of both parties.
Of course. Feel free to take the case.
Our company motto stresses balance.
If both parties go on a legal battle within our company
isn't that fascinating or what?
Plus, apart from my relationship
he's your girlfriend's uncle.
Thank you.
Do a good job.
I will look forward to it.
I understand.
Yes, sir.
Good to hear.
I'm glad.
My burden has been lifted.
I feel bad that Yoon Je Hoon took the case when the chance of winning is zero.
You can now forget about it, too.
I will.
Thank you.
Seo Noo Ri asked Yoon Je Hoon to take her uncle's case.
Oh my, did she?
Seo Chul Sik didn't say anything to you while he was preparing for the case?
He didn't want to pressure you
when they just started dating...
I guess he didn't.
- Then you two are officially... - Dating.
I'm thinking about it.
Now you're like a dog that chased after a chicken.
- I feel bad. - Don't.
He didn't seem to know I'm working with you and Joo Young.
Is the secretary office closed now?
Mr. Han told them all to go home.
Ah, have you met Attorney Yoon Je Hoon?
Yes, I met him at my in-laws's house.
Then I don't really have to introduce you two.
- Come in. - Hello.
Since you two have already met, I will let you get to it.
Sure, go ahead.
- Come up by 7:30. - I will see you later.
You couldn't leave because of me?
No, I was waiting for Noo Ri anyway.
- I see. - Have a seat.
By the way, I really don't know what he wants me to teach you.
I think he just wants me to realize how ignorant I am.
He's being greedy.
How much does he expect you to know at your age?
I don't know if he wishes for it or just punishing me.
It's a crime for going against him, isn't it?
I don't care if it's the case.
He doesn't know the full story of my uncle's case yet, does he?
If he does, we have a problem.
I will get kicked out.
Can you win the case?
I will try.
Honestly, we're very worried.
I felt like we jumped right in not knowing much.
If you had known everything, you wouldn't have done so.
If you go against Hansong, the whole society will change.
Some people even said that.
I'm doing this in hope of being able to make a tiny hole.
Ah, did you tell him a lot of stuff?
Yes, we had a very educational moment.
- Join us for dinner. - No, thank you.
I already made plans.
- Did you? - We will have dinner next time.
Sure.
Alright then. Get going.
Okay, let's go sit down.
Want some wine?
Sure.
Give us the wine I got from Song.
This guy is rather picky about drinks.
Right away, sir.
You're taking Philosophy of Law, aren't you?
Your professor was my student teacher when I was in law school.
He was very bright and had a nice personality too.
Do you want to taste it?
I will let you do the honor today.
- Excuse me. - Sure.
It's the import from my friend too.
Well, can I go first?
Stay at least for an hour.
What would others think of us?
Who won?
Well, I don't know.
In Sang's mom has gotten quite tough these days.
So who knows?
They both might think they won.
How foolish.
Be nice to her.
Your mom is most afraid of you hating her.
It's her inferiority complex.
She thought she'd make a cool mom, but...
ended up being just like any other moms, in reality.
Nature of mothers is basically snobbery.
There is nothing to like and dislike.
As long as she doesn't bother me...
But you should be nice to her.
Soon she will go separate ways from your dad.
No way.
She's not going to have a thing with In Sang's father again, is she?
It was because she was mad about your matter.
Why are you so easy on her?
Well, because I don't want her to take her investment money out.
Don't worry.
She is only testing your friendship with Mrs. Eom.
She has a lot of money and...
she will have even more when she takes my dad's money away.
Oh, I didn't think about that.
Yes, I've just arrived.
Take your time. I will wait for you to have dinner.
Alright then.
What is it?
I'm about to take a new case.
- Try some of these. - Thank you.
- Is she coming? - Yes.
She said she's come over soon.
I hear Mr. Han has lot going on because of his in-laws.
And even In Sang went against him.
I'm taking that case.
I told him I'd do a good job.
What is it?
It involves you too.
- The accused is Daesan. - What?
In Sang's wife's uncle was a member of that union.
Shocking. How can it be?
Hansong represented the company.
If we add the workers who got fired from that strike and their families...
it's a big number. He just happens to be one of them.
If you put it that way
there will be only few who don't have ill feelings towards Hansong.
Is it that bad?
But people don't know much.
Even if they know something
they will just know Hansong's winning rates.
Because of In Sang's wife's family, he...
he went against his father, huh?
It was all combined and went in that direction.
True. On top of his personality.
I think it's right.
I have nothing to talk about.
- Go home. - I will.
Then I will go first.
Bastard.
Why are you doing it?
What do you gain by damaging my dad's company?
You're getting two things wrong.
First
It's about Hansong's wrongdoing, not about your dad's company.
Second, it's helping it, not damaging it.
Now you're even trying to lecture me?
If it's how it sounds, I have nothing to say.
- Go home. I will call a cab for you. - Hey.
It's not late for me. Why are you making me go home?
Hello?
We're at...
You're such a bastard. You drive me crazy.
You're the crazy one. I'm married.
Man.
Can I tell you something?
It's about my dad's company involving secret funds and all...
Obviously, your father did all that for him.
