[Episode 1]
Nobody enjoys homemade kimchi all year long like our family.
Mmmm! It's perfect!
It's delicious!
My husband!
Did you have lunch yet?
Huh? Documents?
What documents?
Yea...! Where did you leave it?
I just got back...
Wait a moment.
That's odd... I didn't see anything on top of the dresser.
Yes, wait a moment.
Not here...
Try to think of where you might have left it,
It's not here... are you sure you brought it in?
Living room?
It's... not in the living room...
Yes.
Ha-eun, when are we going to eat?
One moment, Soo-jin...
Wait.
It couldn't have spouted legs.
Where can it be?
Don't you remember where you put it?
Ah, I found it!
It was next to Da-yool's bed.
If I did this you would be nagging...
Right now?
Where?
Alright.
I'll leave now.
Okay.
What bus do I take to get to that hotel...
Okay, got it.
Oh no!
What did I do? Oh no!
This perfectly fine cabbage...
What can I do?
I'm so sorry about this.
What did you do to my cabbage...
Why are you kicking my cabbage around?
I didn't see it.
I'm sorry.
But it looks to me like it's perfectly edible if you pull off the outer leaves...
Do you think it's that simple?
You break my child's arm and that all you have to say for yourself?
'It's not hurt bad so just leave?'
What an odd thing to say...
How can you compare a head of cabbage to a human being?
To breaking a child's arm...? That's horrific.
I'm so sorry a hundred times over.
But I'm kind of in a hurry right now.
So...
So um, I'll buy one, no two heads off you later.
I'll pay you back.
Two heads? Three?
My goodness!
So, I'm not running away right now!
I promise to pay you back.
I promise!
Promise!
Why couldn't you kick me instead of my delicate cabbage?
I was playing with my daughter last night, and I think it dropped behind her bed.
I can't believe I misplaced something so important.
My wife is bringing it to me.
It's not that urgent, there's no need.
I'm sure you'll take good care of it.
No, there may be more you could tell me.
And there could be something I'd missed.
It's good to double check.
What else can there be from this rotten situation?
Is it alright to take off your sunglasses?
Not yet.
I never knew I would get beat like this.
I should have issued a restraining order first.
No.
I can't have rumors before the divorce is finalized.
This is why your husband thinks he can get away with everything.
Charging him with domestic violence will incite dissent in his fan base.
Why would you leave him be?
That man is an actor.
More reason to put him on the spot.
The truth will get out now or later.
I won't let my actions ruin the company's reputation any more.
Yea, Honey.
I'm in front of the coffee shop now.
But I'm not exactly dressed for the occasion.
You should come out.
Alright...
My wife's arrived.
One moment.
You should come in.
No, I came out in such a hurry that I look like this.
And this is a hotel...
I'm sorry, Honey. Did I embarrass you?
Did you think there are dress codes in hotels?
But I won't deny that you stand out a bit.
Right?
So now you're the center of attention.
Even more than all of those ladies over there in designer fashion.
Do you think I gave a bad impression to your client?
She's waiting for you. Go on , hurry.
Alright, thanks.
I should have worn some lipstick or something.
I went from digging through kimchi to this...
Yea, Ji-eun.
Why are you crying.
What's going on...
What? Your husband, again?
Ji-eun.
I thought his business was getting better lately?
Weren't you expecting a shipment any day now?
I don't have a good feeling about this.
He tells me that he needs to go to China, but he doesn't have the airfare.
Doesn't it mean that it's all over?
He's been talking about shipments...
while he doesn't even have the money for transportation!
Why are you crying when all you have to do is buy him a plane ticket?
You know Mom.
Even pregnant as I am, she makes me work here and doesn't even pay me.
How am I going to buy plane tickets?
Just one deal and we'd be set...
Sis, do you have anything on the side?
Other lawyers make so much money...
Why can't your husband do the same?
What's this I'm hearing?
Mom...
Has your husband been ruined again?
I thought you were going to get some sleep?
What kind of show are you putting on in front of your sister?
Don't drag her down with you!
Nobody's going down!
One big deal and we'll be rich.
Why would you get that one big deal?
How could such an opportunity come to someone...
who can't recognize his front from his back?
What?
Always chasing pipe dreams,
he made it sound like he was conquering China!
Going from a coffee business, to making shower curtains.
From slippers to underwear.
What has he got to show for it?
Mom.
Did you leave money with your sister?
Does your sister print money for you?
You're so shameless.
How can you be so thick skinned?
Don't give this girl a dime!
Mom, the child in her stomach will hear.
Can't you see my stomach?
How can you say such a thing to me?
Just because I'm living under your roof?
Ji-eun.
Can't you see your own stomach?
As a new mother-to-be, you should have changed.
Stop running to your sister for help when you've ruined things on your own!
Mom, sometimes I think you want me to fail.
Yea, I want to see you fail miserably.
Mom.
You'll realize once you're living in the streets with your baby.
I can't reason with you. This is a good thing!
What if her husband was down-and-out?
Beg if you have nothing to say!
Why would you bring him into this conversation?
Call your husband.
Tell him not to receive any calls from Se-chan!
You can't satisfy a bottomless pit.
I can't even face Dong-joon anymore!
There's no need.
I won't accept any help from him even if it's offered!
Ji-eun! Ji-eun!
That foolish girl!
I won't keep looking the other way!
She's the bane of my existence!
Mom, relax.
Sit down, won't you?
Goodness!
Mom...
Dong-joon, why didn't you valet park?
The parking lot is crowded.
People will laugh if I valet my car.
Why would I valet ten-year old rolling can?
Why don't you get a new car?
Do you love your car so much?
So go to the bank if you need money,
and to the market if you need food?
I don't think anyone else in this country lives like you do.
Sometimes, I wish I could live like you do.
Did I hurt your pride?
My pride?
I've already folded it up and put it away someplace I can't reach.
There's your car now.
Don't accept his calls.
And don't meet with him.
I'll contact you after I speak with his lawyer.
Thanks, Dong-joon.
Yea.
Drive safely.
Even money has it's rightful owner, Hyun-ji.
How could you know that?
You went too far.
She's suffering as it is... you should've held back.
She's about to be a mother any day now...
...and she can't even take care of herself.
I didn't go far enough.
I have to pull this out by the roots.
But Se-chan has to inspects the shipments...
This isn't the first time!
I have to put an end to this before he ruins anything else.
What's so bad about my rice-cake business?
It's karma for taking my business lightly...
Goodness, Mom...
Yes, Soo-jin.
What are you doing, it's already past lunchtime!
I'm starving to death here.
Alright.
I'm leaving now.
I'm sorry.
I'll be there soon.
Mom, I have to go.
And please, get along with Ji-eun.
Feed this to Da-yool.
Thanks, Mom.
I'm leaving now.
Be careful, and don't run.
How can she try to take advantage of her sister?
Foolish child!
Oh my. You still have radishes?
Welcome.
Let me have two packs.
I can't sell this.
Why not?
We're making sure it's organic.
Until they've been tested, I can't sell this.
What?
I can't sell this to you.
Please come back again.
Who cares, they're radishes...
Just sell the radishes!
Do you have baby pumpkins?
Yes, Soo-jin. I'm almost there.
Five minutes, no three minutes...
Two minutes? I'll be there in a moment.
Yes.
Please come back again.
Goodness.
What a weirdo.
Take a look at this.
This has agricultural chemicals, it's not organic.
Who cares if it is or it's not?
If it looks good, we sell it.
If we don't sell because of this and that, how will we make a living?
This is an organic food market, Bro.
Then why don't you sell the organic cabbages we got yesterday?
You took it home for some more tests.
And did you discover anything?
I want to put it into storage for now.
Ah...
So you've decided on turning it into kimchi?
So we're not going to see it for another two months?
Yea.
Okay.
Let's just say that our precious cabbage goes into storage.
What are we going to tell the people who sent the vegetables to us?
Once we gain profits from the kimchi we will make...
So who's going to make all of that kimchi for us?
Let me look for one more month.
Goodness...
I'd rather talk to a brick wall.
Who's going to revive our dead mother's kimchi recipe?
Can you explain that to me?
That's why I'm looking for that person.
There has to be someone out there that knows the secret.
There are plenty of people in the kimchi business.
All you need to focus on is bringing in quality cabbages.
Why do you live life so difficultly?
All is great with organic foods and mother's tastes.
But aren't we trying to make a living here?
Forget about yourself for a moment.
Ha-neul doesn't deserve this.
And what am I going to feed my daughter?
If and when the investors come pounding on your door,
Ha-neul won't stay here any longer.
Why would a capable person like her stick around here?
When this company goes belly up?
Until all benefit under the heavens!
I'm here for the long haul.
Ugh...
Don't' you know I can't concentrate if I don't eat on time?
I know, but your brother left his documents at home again.
It was an emergency...
That wasn't the only place.
You went to your family's place again.
Do I ask for anything else?
Is it so hard to prepare three hot meals a day?
I was late for only an hour.
Did it make you that angry?
Are you going to take responsibility if I lose my health as a freelancer?
How many times do I have to tell you that I'm on a regimented schedule?
I plan my days accordingly, so don't change my schedule!
Getting angry will harm your health even more...
Go on and try it.
I made the fish recipe that you like.
I don't know why your brother is so absent-minded.
It's because you don't look after him properly.
This never happened when my mother was alive.
I know.
I think it's because your mother did everything for him.
I'm just saying that she should have taught him to be responsible.
Instead of doing everything for him, am I wrong?
Are you complaining to me right now?
Do you want to witness my mother rise from her grave?
No, no.
Relax, Soo-jin.
I'm not complaining, I just notice that he keeps getting into trouble.
Did I make you angry?
Break my fish up for me..
You'll have indigestion if you eat while you're so angry.
Stop fuming, and enjoy your food.
Yes, Teacher.
Oh my!
I didn't know it was time already.
Yes. I'm leaving now. Yes.
I have to go get Da-yool...
Don't harass my brother!
I'll open up my mother's grave myself!
Why do you need a smartphone?
I could call you when you're late, and I can use it as a calendar.
Goodness.
Why do you need a calendar when you go to and from kindergarten?
Monday, kindergarten. Tuesday, kindergarten. Wednesday, kindergarten.
You don't need a smartphone for that.
Nonsense.
I can keep track of friend's birthdays and keep a to-do list.
Everyone else has one.
No.
A smartphone will help me get smarter.
Hey, all I saw was the sky and trees growing up, and I'm plenty smart.
Do you know how malleable your mind is?
And you want to put a smartphone in there?
No?
I'll only keep it in my hands.
I'll read more books too.
And see lots of trees and the sky.
No.
Stay right there.
Hey, come here!
Alright, alright.
Alright, okay.
I'll buy you one when you get to 6th grade.
No.
Oh I forgot, your grandmother made something yummy for you to eat.
Why are you changing the subject?
I'm so hungry, I think I'm going to collapse.
Let's hurry home.
Ready...
I'm going to ask Dad to buy me one.
Bang.
How can I wait until I get to the 6th grade?
Time flies.
Don't worry.
You're starting school next year.
Huh?
Do you live on the 9th floor as well?
Yes.
I'm the lady next door.
How do you do?
I tried visiting a couple of times... when do adults get home?
They're never later than 8 o'clock.
Because I get hungry about that time and throw a fit.
Ah, I see.
You're cute.
Why are you taking on this case right before partnership?
Is it some important person?
What's the word going around?
Things about the J-group acquisition, and tax-evasion charges...
Do you think it's your time now?
If it was performance-based, I'd already have it.
I've given up on it.
Given up, my foot!
You're not getting ready for a promotion?
Forget it.
But let me know if you hear anything.
Alright, I will.
Acting ignorant... I know you came here to size me up.
Brother!
You're the only one I can depend on.
Will this be enough?
Once this deal goes through, I'll pay you back everything with interest.
I'll move you into a bigger place and buy you a brand new car.
Yea, alright.
So focus on caring for your newborn baby.
I will.
But if you could keep this visit between us...
You don't have to explain, I know.
Thank you, Brother.
I'll be on my way.
Yea, keep at it.
Fighting.
It's not business... it's a charity.
Why not, since I've already started my charity...
Even I've never touched your face...
Rotten scoundrel.
You don't have to hide it in front of me.
Doesn't it feel stuffy?
I'll take it off when I'm ready.
I told you to take some days off.
I could order someone else to take over.
I can't miss work as an executive, can I?
I understand that you want to get right back in,
but you should take a slower tempo.
No, there's no need for that.
We've developed our wholesale business enough.
I want to get into the shopping malls.
If you give me a chance, I'm confident.
I knew that you'd bring this up.
Let's go home.
Please go on without me.
I still have some work to do.
Why didn't Hyun-ji come home with you?
When did she ever listen to me?
You should have given her no choice.
She's not fit to drive with that eye.
If I had it my way, I would beat him senseless.
Rotten scoundrel.
Of course, if we could get our way...
But we want to make sure that he agrees and goes along with the divorce.
We have to pull our Hyun-ji out of this mud-pit.
Should we let her handle her divorce on her own?
We're wasting valuable time.
Shouldn't we get a larger firm to represent her and settle this quickly?
Do you want to make the front page news again?
He thinks we're a bunch of idiots over here.
She found someone she trusts, so let's give it time.
She wants to keep this quiet.
She's suffering as it is, don't make it worse for her.
So it finally ends like this?
Why didn't she listen to me when I opposed the wedding?
Why talk about the past?
It's also our fault for not opposing till the end.
You should meet with this lawyer once.
I'll ask Hyun-ji about him.
Why don't you wait for me before you eat dinner?
Why do you make your sister-in-law set the table twice?
If that bothers you, come home a bit earlier.
You know I get moody if I don't eat on time.
Soo-jin Im!
Get out, I'm working.
Do you stay home and never date...
...because you might miss a meal?
Can't you see that I'm working?
Don't you know how important a regimented lifestyle is for a freelancer?
Regimented, my foot.
The only thing regimented about you is your meal times.
You never finish anything on time, and you never sleep on time.
You sleep anytime you want and you don't even wash yourself properly.
Get out!
Are you really my brother?
If mother saw this...
Yea, she'd rise from her grave.
Clean your room up!
Brother!
My goodness, why did you do that?
I told you not to aggravate her.
You have to discipline her once in a while.
It's the only way she'll listen.
That's what you think.
Why, does she mistreat you while I'm gone?
Why that little...
I know everything about her now.
I know when she's angry, and the times your mother rises from her grave.
After ten years of this, she's actually kind of cute now.
My wife's experienced spiritual enlightenment?
I feel sorry for the guy who going to end up with her.
Don't say that about your sister.
Oh, did you hear from Se-chan?
Yea.
I bought him a plane ticket.
Already?
You don't have to make that face.
Do you hate me when Soo-jin acts the way she does?
Of course not.
Whether my sister torments you or...
your in-law comes asking me for help, it's just life.
Would we be living if nothing ever happened?
Husband...
Aren't you thankful?
You must have a lot on your mind lately as well.
Won't they announce their decision any day now?
I know you're worried inside.
You have trouble going to sleep.
Homeroom teachers, college entrances,
and work promotions are outside of our control.
Why worry about those things?
I'm hungry.
What's for dinner?
Kimchi mackerel, your favorite.
Kimchi mackerel?
Soo-jin probably picked off the best parts?
Da-yool, let's eat!
I'm going to pay him back, so don't worry.
What if my mother finds out?
She threw a fit earlier today!
How is she going to find out?
He's going to keep it between us.
You have to make this work as if your life depended on it.
If this doesn't work out, I'm going to take my life.
If this doesn't work out, we're done for.
We're still a couple.
Why are you looking at me like that when I'm your husband?
Leave before I escort you out.
Do it.
Why don't I announce our divorce while we're at it?
Whatever you do, you won't get money from me.
Sometimes you seem smart, yet sometimes you can be so stupid.
You're going to lose the money anyways,
shouldn't you at least salvage your reputation?
You can't beat me.
Send two employees up here.
Goodness, I'm not finished yet.
Talk to my lawyer.
I lived with you all these years, not your lawyer.
Please escort this person to our gates.
Let go.
Your employees are very well-behaved.
See your Director's eye?
I smacked her there.
But no one spreads any rumors around here...
What are you doing? Escort him outside.
Wait.
Her arms and legs are full of bruises.
Did you know that?
Stubborn girl.
It must have been quite painful.
It's no use talking to you.
I'm going to find out elsewhere.
Get out of my way.
It's here. It's here.
I told you to throw this away, not wear it.
Are you some waste disposal?
I cut off the bottom, and it's fine.
If you keep this up, people will mock me.
Who's going to mock you...?
Did your client say something to you?
No, that's not what I mean...
Well I wouldn't blame her.
She's quite the looker, that woman.
I thought she was some celebrity or something.
Maybe on the outside, but inside she's broken.
This is the person I love.
What?
What are you saying?
It's only been 6 months since we've remarried.
Goodness...
What difference does that make?
Brother!
Hey, you must be surprised.
Oh my, oh my!
Look at him acting like nothing else matters!
Oh my goodness.
He's no doubt an actor.
Really...
His role is that of a degenerate as well.
He deserves to have his legs broken,
...and never again allowed to see his wife and kids.
That's going too far.
He probably loves in his own way.
Nonsense.
Is love dead, for that to be called love?
He can't help it if he doesn't feel for her anymore.
You have to be determined, and hold onto your love.
When you were pursuing me, would you have let anyone stop you?
No one can stop the way you feel.
You know what I mean.
Everyone has their own reasons.
Forget it. Reasons, my foot.
Those kind of men need to be punished.
Don't be gentle, be rough with those kind of people!
Understand?
Huh?
Respond!
Alright.
Makes me so angry!
See your Director's eye?
I smacked her there.
But no one spreads any rumors around here...
Her arms and legs are full of bruises.
Did you know that?
You can't see it.
Stubborn girl.
It must have been quite painful.
If I had it my way, I'd spill the beans and end his career.
But she wants me to keep it a secret.
But when she files for divorce, everyone's going to find out anyways.
Wealthy people are concerned about those things.
With company image and revenues concerned,
...her divorce isn't her own.
Poor girl.
Hyun-ji?
Yea, Hyun-ji.
Hello?
What's going on?
Are you crying?
Crying...?
What's going on, Hyun-ji?
[Subtitles provided by MBC]
Stop right there!
What's this?
I'm Hyun-ji Park's lawyer.
Your husband's underwear is supposed to be tattered!
Some things don't change with time.
Who's going to see me as a woman?
You're a woman.
You are.
No...
- Come inside. - No, I'm okay...
You're letting the mosquitoes inside!
Mosquitoes...
