[Episode 3]
Yea, Honey.
Sorry I didn't pick up earlier.
Is something the matter?
Things didn't work out how you hoped?
About making partner?
I wasn't even looking forward to it.
I see. So are you drinking?
You should come home early.
I had a last minute appointment with a client.
I forgot to call you earlier.
Did you have dinner?
Yea, I won't be late.
I'll be home soon.
Okay.
We'll talk when I get home.
Yea, Mom.
No.
I don't think it happened.
He's not home yet, so I don't know the details.
Don't worry and get some rest.
Yes.
Why does such a nice person have such a hard time getting promoted?
Is there a problem at the law firm?
It's nothing.
I have to go.
Go home early and get some rest.
You haven't changed one bit.
You have a knack for ignoring other people's feelings.
And how you keep everything to yourself and hide your emotions.
What kind of lawyer discusses his promotion chances with his client?
Client?
Let's focus on the case at hand.
We don't want this to turn ugly.
Of course you'd somehow wiggle your way out of this.
Hyun-ji.
Whatever it takes, I want that bastard to suffer.
Hyun-ji.
Forget it.
Let's focus on the case.
A secret account?
It's the first time I'm hearing of it.
I have no idea why she would do such a thing.
Did we not provide her with plenty?
She's always gotten everything she ever wanted or wanted to do.
Why would she go this far?
And what good will come of this?
Have you ever considered that you are responsible somehow?
Since she married, you've been extremely hard on her.
You always managed to show her your disapproval in her everyday life.
Did you have to go that far?
Are you saying that I'm responsible for her divorce?
I'm not talking about the divorce, I'm talking about our daughter, Hyun-ji.
Can you see that she'd do anything to win your approval?
So then she makes a secret account?
When our children do something we can't understand, shouldn't we try to?
You were always the Chairman of Tae-gang Group, and never her father.
You've been nothing more to her than a strict superior at work!
Hyun-ji is an executive at our company.
Every time you behave like this, I remember your mother.
You'll always be nothing more than a maid in this house.
Even if you live 100 lifetimes with my son, you'll always be a maid to me.
She'd always remind me.
Why are we talking about my mother when we're discussing the account?
I think of her every time you treat our daughter this way.
That's why I can't stand it even more!
Why do you insist on interpreting my thoughts like that?
I think of our daughter as much as you do.
I'm not a piece of rock.
I'm a woman.
I was wondering where you might be drinking alone.
Honey.
What are you thinking about?
Husband?
Yea, yea...
Water.
So why don't you go ahead and take it out on me for a change?
Other husbands throw fits once in a while.
I'm fine.
There's no need for that.
I'm okay.
Really?
I'm okay too, Honey.
Who cares if you didn't make partner?
The whole world already knows how capable you are.
I don't understand your boss.
Why can't he recognize you for your work?
I didn't handle substantial cases until recently.
It was a fair decision.
My husband is so understanding...
This is why Hyun-ji Park came to you for help.
She trusts you, that's why.
She can't go to just anyone with her secrets!
And thanks to that, I have work.
I'm going to have to spend the entire night drawing documents.
That man is so detestable!
I mean, how can he talk about his ex-wife like that?
And the people who post comments!
Stone girl? What the heck is a stone girl?
People were so insensitive.
Calm down and throw this in the wash for me.
Ah, yes.
Yea, who cares if he didn't get the promotion?
There are women going through much worse.
You have other blessings, Ha-eun Yoo.
Did you keep my brother from sleeping last night?
Why does he look like that?
You didn't give him a hard time because he wasn't promoted?
Yea.
All night long.
She told me a man who can't get promoted doesn't deserve to eat.
Honey, what's the matter with you?
It's not like that, Soo-jin.
I wonder if Mother knows you didn't get promoted.
She's probably sighing in heaven.
How could you get promoted in this type of environment?
Enough.
Da-yool, if you're done eating, want me to slice you some apples?
No, strawberries.
We don't have strawberries.
Dad, let's go pick some strawberries.
Why are you talking about strawberries all of a sudden?
All of the kids in my class picked strawberries with their fathers.
They were showing off with pictures.
Is there anything your friends never do?
They all pick strawberries and all carry smartphones.
Hmm? Dad.
I didn't get a promotion, so I'm busy this week, but how about next weekend?
Okay!
But what's a promotion?
It's like becoming a President, or a Chairman.
Don't worry about it and finish your food.
Back at you!
Eat plenty.
Honey, do you have time this afternoon?
Time, not money?
Let's go to the department store to buy you a suit.
I'm splurging big on this one.
Designer suit.
What's the matter with you lately?
I thought you spent a lot of money on my underwear yesterday?
I want to see my husband in a designer suit before his stomach pops out.
Really?
Then am I really getting a designer suit, courtesy of my wife?
Okay?
Okay.
Are you leaving already?
I'll be back.
Last night, you wanted to talk this morning.
Are you avoiding a conversation with me or running into your father?
Both.
Hyun-ji.
You already heard about it.
I'm sure Father gave you the details, so what else can I tell you?
I shamed him, I admit it.
So what do you expect me to do about it?
What can I do about it now?
Alright.
Eat before you go out.
I'm not hungry.
Your father is out for a jog and isn't here.
Eat before you go.
[Tae-kyung's birthday]
Uncle, happy birthday!
Thanks, nephew.
Sit down. Eat up.
What is this?
It's your birthday, and there's no meat?
We're settling on this for breakfast, son.
The party is later tonight.
Party?
Yea. Ha-neul wanted to throw you one.
Why did you go along with it?
I didn't do anything.
How can I refuse when she is insisting?
I like Auntie Ha-neul.
She's pretty.
Right?
She's really pretty, right?
Eat plenty.
Yes, Chairman.
Thank you.
You remembered my birthday?
Chairman?
Even if you're busy, stop by today.
You're going to the fields on your birthday?
Then stop by on your way back.
I have to talk to you so you better come.
I'll be expecting you.
Do you have the time to meet Tae-kyung, considering your current problems?
I can make the time.
He's probably heard about the company as well.
He'll feel uncomfortable.
It's once a year.
No one else can take care of him.
Hyun-ji left without eating breakfast.
She should think about what she's done.
Honey.
When Hyun-ji hurts, I hurt even more.
Let's talk again later tonight.
Was it Chairman Park?
Hey, he's incredible.
He must be going through so much with his daughter's divorce.
But he's managed to never once miss your birthday!
What did he say?
Is he sending you a gift?
Or is he buying you dinner?
He wants me to come to the company.
To the office of the Chairman of the Tae-gang Group?
Want me to go with you?
Go eat your food.
Then while you're there, confirm our contract with his department stores.
We don't even have the kimchi yet!
We have the cabbage.
All we need is a factory now.
And tell him that we always welcome investors.
Please respond, representative.
Weren't we supposed to be at the fields by one o'clock?
Why are you changing the subject?
Hey, I'll go to the fields myself, so spend some time with the Chairman.
Representative.
You were worried, but it looks like everything's fine.
Bro, did it feel like this when you had Hoon?
Huh?
My heart's pounding, I'm so thankful to the world, and I want to live a better life.
You've finally lost your mind.
I look like I'm smiling, but I want to cry.
You went through a lot.
How many years has it been?
Tae-kyung, we'll have plenty of cabbages for when we get the factory.
Let's get started.
If we want to harvest in a month, we have to clear the pests.
Catching them by hand is the surest way.
Here. Let's start!
Hey, wait...
Really...
You guys like cabbage too?
Hey, why are there so many insects?
There's no end to them.
Make you want to use pesticides, doesn't it?
How did you know?
We have to resist.
Organic food takes effort.
Alright, sounds great, but how long are we doing this?
Insect...
Insects are a sign of a successful yield.
Be thankful.
I didn't know we could grow these in the middle of winter.
Excuse me.
If we fail after all of this effort, we're tying your right leg to my left, and...
We fall together.
Father, Mother.
It's Yong-suk.
I'm going through so much hardship because of this guy.
Please help us this once.
He bet his life on the taste of your kimchi, Mother.
He's going to the Tae-gang Group today.
Please influence the Chairman to provide us with capital...
Mother, Father.
Once the cabbages are ready, I'll bring each of you a head.
It's a relief.
So ten other women claimed that they had relations with him?
It's not certain yet.
It's so sweet. He's probably shaking in fear right now.
Honey, how about this one?
I don't know...
- No? - Yea.
What about this? Or this?
I like this one.
- You like it? - Yea.
Let me see.
- Does it look nice? - It's great.
It's nice.
Hello.
It's me.
Yea.
Human nature is a fickle thing.
Everything changed now.
With our reputation restored, I won't have a problem with the department stores.
Should we have lunch?
I'm meeting with a client today for lunch.
My client's coming now, I have to go.
Yea.
Who was that?
Huh? No one.
I don't like the selection here.
Why not?
Let's go someplace else.
Try it on.
No, I don't like it.
It's okay.
Is it because of the price?
Not at all.
Let's try it on.
No, no.
Hey, honey!
Want to get matching nightwear?
You can see right through this! How can we wear this...
Did you have time to think?
I think I was born a farmer.
I like farming.
You can bring whatever you're working on into the company.
I understand, but I don't feel ready yet.
I don't know what more you need.
I can't force you into anything, but I have a duty to your father.
Even though I want to visit his grave, I'll have nothing to talk about.
I'll contact you when I really need the help.
There's no doubt that you're your father's son.
That stubbornness.
Yea.
What is it?
I hate to interrupt, Chairman.
Director Kim has urgent news.
What is it?
Director Park's secret account...
I'll be on my way.
Who is that?
His name is Tae-kyung Shin, and the Chairman called for him.
I see.
Director Kim is with the Chairman now.
So you've confirmed the existence of this account?
It's not like that!
Stay outside.
Chairman.
I said get out!
I have no intention of taking it easy on my daughter.
Go through the proper procedure and report back to me.
What is all of this, Madam?
This is Hyun-ji's belongings.
Take it to her room.
Ah, yes.
You know not to talk to anyone about this family's affairs?
Yes, Madam.
It's been a while, Mr. Jung.
What happened?
A slush fund?
The person you have dialed is not available...
I don't know what's happening.
It's too hard.
When I think I've gotten a handle on things, something bigger happens.
I think I'm going to die.
You're the only one I can turn to right now.
Come quickly. Please.
[New voicemail message/ Press talk to listen]
It's not even a special occasion, and you buy me clothes?
It's probably expensive since you bought it in the department store.
I got it on the discount rack.
It's still expensive.
It's nice.
Do you like it, Mom?
Of course.
Why did you go to the department store?
I bought the husband a new suit.
Is he doing alright?
Is his employment in jeopardy now?
He says everything is fine, but he doesn't really talk much.
I'm sure it's fine.
Dong-joon is the pillar of this family.
Did Ji-eun go someplace?
She's walking for exercise.
Are you doing okay with her now? You should cut her a break.
She never listens to me anyways.
See?
Her husband didn't even come home last night.
She claims that she doesn't know.
Are they insane?
Ji-eun, she...
Are you talking behind my back?
You think your sister is like you?
Then why did you stop talking?
You were talking about me.
You're leaving because I caught you.
Hey.
I was leaving because Da-yool's at home.
Bye, Mom.
Welcome.
What are you looking for?
What kind of rice cakes do you eat on birthdays?
The rainbow ones are nice, or these...
Sis, he went to China.
So that's why he didn't come home last night?
Did you hear from him?
Not yet.
I think he's busy.
I guess it means things are going well?
I think this baby's good luck!
I hope we'll hear some good news.
Right?
You think so too?
Yea.
Be quiet.
Auntie, let's play.
Get out of my room. I have a deadline!
Auntie, I hate you!
Little shrimp!
Reflection!
You surprised me!
I'm sorry.
Do you live here?
Yes, I'm Da-yool Im from number 903.
Do you live across from us, Mister?
Yea, 904.
Why?
Can you give that to me?
These vegetables?
Why do you need it?
I want to give them to my mother.
My mother likes those.
Here, enjoy these.
Thank you.
Yes!
I wonder who it is.
Ha-neul?
What is all of this?
It's your birthday. We need to have a party.
- Da-yool, open the door for your mother. - Come inside.
Doesn't seem like his wife...
How many live in that home?
Mom.
Huh?
The man across from us?
Yea. He gave it to me because he thought I was cute.
So this is what he has today?
Did I do well?
Yea, you did well.
I'll prepare it now.
Thanks to you, we have another side dish on the table tonight!
I'm leaving.
Oh right! You have a deadline today.
Try to stay home on my deadline days.
Da-yool was bothering me all day!
I'm sorry.
Be safe.
It's your birthday, so I had to do something.
This is expected.
I've already celebrated this morning.
I heard you had cabbage soup.
Um...
But...
Who is looking after the office?
Is that your question?
I closed early.
Hoon's father is there.
And we have other employees.
Don't worry.
Yes, Mister.
I left something in the fields?
The cabbages are frozen?
What do you mean?
I checked the temperature earlier today.
I understand. I'm on my way.
Tae-kyung?
Yea, Honey.
Why didn't you call me?
Did everything work out?
What?
What are you saying?
So where are you now?
Why are you here?
How can you drink right now?
Aren't you supposed to be in China?
I couldn't go.
You had your plane ticket! Why not?
I can't get in touch with the person who was supposed to greet me at the airport.
Why don't you go straight to their offices?
I don't know the address in China.
What about Mr. Kim at the offices here?
The number's disconnected.
Then you should go over there!
I did.
It was empty.
They ran.
Se-chan Jang!
I wanted to die.
What do I do now?
Why are you asking me that?
I think I should call brother-in-law.
I'm sure there's a legal way to handle this.
What are you going to tell him?
That you don't know the China address?
That you don't know Mr. Kim's number and you want him to take care of this?
These are the Hong Kong plans for Sae-hoon Kang.
Thank you.
We missed the timing to cover this up.
You never had any intention to cover this up.
Be thankful that things were taken care of the way they were.
You're telling me to be thankful that I wasn't fired?
Your privileges as the owner's daughter end here.
I'm so thankful.
If you really want to be an executive of this company,
Put your personal affairs into order.
Become someone who can lead this company.
It won't be too late to start over afterwards.
I'll wait for you.
So we can't recoup any of it?
A bowl of noodles here, please.
What's the matter with this woman?
You're expecting right now.
What about our child?
It could die!
Your privileges as the owner's daughter end here.
Why should I go on living?
What can I do?
Wait, wait.
Don't follow me.
Sheesh, really...
Ma'am, how much do I owe you?
$13.
Here you go.
Cancel the noodles.
Wait up...
I think you have to meet me at the police station.
Ji-eun was involved in a car accident, and the other party won't settle.
I'm leaving now. Alright.
Mom, Soo-jin's a bit late. Can you look after Da-yool?
Nothing's going on.
Yes.
How can you drink and drive while you're pregnant?
I wanted to die!
I don't care if I go to jail.
I'll have the baby in jail.
You're driving me insane!
Detective, is there any other way?
Settle with her.
As you can see, she's pregnant...
This wasn't a mistake.
She purposely got drunk and ran into my car. Why should I settle?
I need medical attention as well.
Please take care of this.
Sister-in-law!
Over here! The victim isn't willing to settle. Please help us.
Really?
Excuse me, our lawyer has arrived.
Honey.
Yea...
What happened?
Why did you come here!
Did you speak with the victim?
About that...
I apologize.
Are you badly hurt?
I'm so sorry.
My sister had a bad day and made a mistake.
- Honey. - Please be understanding.
I beg of you.
She's expecting any day now.
Dong-joon.
[Subtitles provided by MBC]
These little ones were frozen.
I can't get myself to throw them away.
What are you doing?
Don't touch my things!
Don't even look at it!
This is your car.
What?
It's my gift to you.
What do you think it'll be like... without me?
What?
