[Episode 6]
Father. This is my lawyer, Dong-jun Im.
How do you do?
Welcome. I've heard of your good work.
Not at all. Thank you for your invitation.
I wanted to introduce you to him sooner, but I didn't have a chance.
Are you here from the rice-cake store?
Leaving already?
Um...
So you must be on your way?
Huh? Yes...
You sit down with the lawyer. Dinner will be ready soon.
Alright. Let's have a seat.
Yes, Chairman.
Oh! This is for the rice-cakes. I put in a bit more for your troubles.
They ordered rice cakes...
Have a good day.
You don't have to be nervous. My father's not such a frightening person.
What did I just witness?
He told me he was going out with his colleagues...why is he here?
I hope it's up to your tastes. Please enjoy.
Yes, thank you for the meal.
I insisted that we meet here instead of a hotel.
Once you taste my mother's cooking, you'll want to keep coming back.
There aren't many people who have tried our food.
We don't like to invite people over, but in this case, we had no problem.
Thank you.
Allow me to turn off my phone.
I don't want anyone to interrupt our meal.
That's good to hear. Let's eat.
Yes, Chairman.
The person you have dialed is not available.
He should give me a call!
How can he ignore me like that?
Come to think of it, why didn't I say anything myself?
You don't have to be nervous. My father's not such a frightening person.
How do you do?
Welcome. I've heard of your good work.
Not at all. Thank you for your invitation.
I guess it would have been awkward to introduce me to the Chairman...
I'm so hungry...!
Why aren't you eating? Try some more, Dong-joon.
I'm enjoying the meal. Everything is delicious.
We invited you because we are grateful. I hope you don't feel uncomfortable.
Not at all. I'm not used to this type of setting.
Make yourself at home.
How could he?
I know you've put in a lot of effort, but I don't know if he'll remember the taste.
I'm sorry.
Actually, it's difficult to believe I'm dining with an elder such as yourself.
I like people who respect their elders.
Most are humble and well-mannered.
Please speak freely, Chairman.
How can I do that on our first meeting?
You're making it harder on him.
That's why he's having trouble enjoying his meal.
Really? I didn't think about that.
I don't speak freely with just anyone.
Enjoy your meal.
Thank you.
It looks like you've taken a liking to the lawyer.
Of course, he's helped our daughter, hasn't he?
Thanks to you, we've put it behind us.
Father, isn't he great?
I used to always wonder who he'd end up marrying.
You're not married yet?
Ah, yes... about that...
All he ever does is study and work.
I don't think the women would leave you alone...
Didn't people try and set you up with women?
Well, I've been so busy...
Of course. Ten years is nothing to a man when he's busy with his career.
What a joke...
Why would he lie about something like this?
There's nothing to be ashamed...he should have been bragging about it!
I'm so pathetic. Why should I feel ashamed and why was I left speechless?
And that Hyun-ji Park! Why did she insist that I deliver the order?
What are you mumbling about?
You seemed to be in a hurry earlier, and you haven't eaten yet?
I know, right? All I managed to do was witness a feast.
Soo-jin, about your brother... He never lied since he was young, did he?
You know, he got in trouble because he didn't lie about the littlest things.
Did you see something somewhere? Why would you ask me that?
My brother isn't the lying type.
Right?
Rather than to lie and suffer inside, he'd rather tell the truth and face it.
Right... you're right.
This hasn't aged properly yet.
Right. She's right. I knew it. See, what did I tell you?
Who knows Dong-joon more than I do?
Goodness! You're so insecure. That's your problem.
But I really don't like that woman!
No, Dong-joon wouldn't lie to you.
Didn't I tell you? How many times do I have to repeat it?
Let's go inside!
I said that I want some sleep.
Sit down for a moment. I set this up for you.
I cooked some ramen especially for you!
Tada!
Isn't ramen the best when accompanied by soju? You told me that.
I thought you never eat ramen?
You never let me eat this.
I didn't let you eat this when you wanted it?
I realize that I haven't treated you very well.
But Bro, I thought you'd know how I feel even if I didn't tell you directly.
You've always managed to catch whatever I throw at you.
Regardless of whether or not you agreed with me.
You must have had a hard time dealing with someone like me.
But Bro, I've had time to reflect.
I'm going to start listening to you and curbing my stubbornness, alright?
And this...
Didn't I tell you that I don't like swollen noodles?
Why didn't you make the speech before you cooked the ramen?
Right.
This is why we can't accomplish things. The timing is off all the time.
Sorry. I'm sorry, Bro! Here!
All you ever do is apologize after the fact.
Do you think that fixes anything?
Do you want me to sign a contract?
I have tons of signed contracts in my room as it is.
Only until we harvest the cabbages, understand?
I'm sure I heard the maids talking about a new suitor...
No way! Nonsense!
So frustrating! Where is this man?
Why did you say that I'm not married?
Then should I tell them that you're a married man?
Today, I wanted to introduce you to them as my man.
Do you have any idea what that means?
I know well. Didn't you notice that I called your wife as well?
You're so risky. Why do you need to rush things?
Why should I wait?
I know you like me. I'll take care of the rest!
I wish I could be as decisive as you are.
Do it! Why do you hesitate?
You have no idea what you're doing right now.
Dong-joon!
Go back inside and get some rest.
Things will be clearer after you think about it.
Let's talk again then.
How do you feel?
Did you really come here today to have a nice dinner?
Was that your intention?
I came here because I wanted to know if it's worth wagering my life for.
And?
You must have come to a conclusion, right?
Don't you know? I don't want you to suffer because of me!
Dong-joon!
Why are you so late? Were you there all this time?
Where's Da-yool?
I'm asking you if you're coming from that house?
Yea.
I thought you were meeting with colleagues?
Why did you lie to me?
Who lied to you?
Then did you meet your colleagues there? You lied to me!
It was a last minute engagement.
That was the Chairman of the Tae-gang Group!
How can I refuse his invitation?
Why were you there? What about the rice-cakes?
Hyun-ji Park ordered them, and insisted that I deliver them personally.
So you go there? Why didn't you send Se-chan?
How can I refuse? She even settled on the car accident.
So did she call me to a dinner where you were invited?
That's what it looks like!
Did she want me to see you there?
Why would she? I went there last minute.
Forget it. We shouldn't be arguing over nothing.
Why are you cutting me off? I'm not finished yet.
Finished with what?
Are you two really close?
What are you talking about?
That woman was holding onto your arm like you two were really close.
Why are you acting out of character?
Do I have to continue standing here and answering questions?
I'm starting to get angry.
Do you know how I felt on my way home?
Why did you turn off your phone?
What are you accusing me of?
It's not that I'm accusing...
I was disappointed that you ignored me.
I know it was probably embarrassing to introduce me then and there...
But I felt so bad on the way home on the bus, and I was hungry...
Why are you acting so cute?
Enough of this. It's nothing like that, alright?
Dong-joon Im...
Where are you headed...?
He must be huddled over his desk all day for there to be so many wrinkles!
I'll smooth out the accordion lines...
Stay strong, my husband!
Why did we drink so much?
Who's the one who starting crying about how he misses his wife?
How could I have stopped you?
You started it. I wasn't even thinking of having a drink.
Alright. Blame everything on me. It's my fault.
We're on different pages. Why did you park so far away?
We're here. Get inside.
Do you know who he is?
No... it's nothing.
Let's hurry up and go.
How are you?
Mr. Choi from Sam-il Agriculture called twice this morning.
What does that man want so early?
I thought he was giving us more time?
That's what he said.
Get him on the phone.
I'll go there personally. A phone conversation won't do.
I'm so sick of organic!
Investors keep putting in and pulling out... Why can't we find solid investors?
Should I call?
Don't call him. I'm going to him now.
Yes. This is Ha-neul Farms Vegetables.
Ah, yes... Mr. Choi!
What's the matter? Mr. Shin is working hard.
Must you do that, when he's slaving over the cabbages day and night?
You're really pulling out?
And you won't regret it?
Alright then. Go on ahead. Pull out!
How can you tell the investor to pull out?
What is the matter with you?
He was going to leave anyways, so I wanted to tell him off!
Good work, Bro. He couldn't be reasoned with.
Set an appointment with Mr. Choi. I'll wrap things up with him.
How are we going to hang on now?
I've applied for an agricultural grant.
We should hear from them soon.
There's no guarantee in that. Why don't you put in a word to the Tae-gang Group?
I made it convincing. Don't worry.
Let's get to work. Should we take a look at the shipment of onions and garlic?
Okay! Let's go.
Sorry if I called you during a busy time.
Not at all. It's fine.
We couldn't discuss business because of the family yesterday evening.
Yes.
To be honest, I have something to ask of you.
I want you to handle my daughter's case involving the slush fund.
It was my understanding that the company's legal team is handling that.
Although that would be appropriate, as a father, I want this to be settled quietly.
I don't want this issue to affect her again down the future.
I would like to ask that you handle this swiftly.
I'm not asking that you cover it up...
Go through the proper procedure and put an end to this completely.
I understand what you are saying.
My daughter trusts you, so allow me to put my trust in you as well.
Thank you for this opportunity. I'll do my very best.
Really?
Father did?
Yea.
Why didn't you let me know that you were meeting with Father?
I didn't know what he wanted to talk about.
I wanted to meet with him first.
I think he's taken with you.
How does it feel?
It was so disorienting, I don't know if I responded properly.
You have to do your best.
My father is very stringent when it comes to business.
He expects nothing but hard work from me as well.
The fact that he called you personally means he considers you to be special.
You have to do well.
I know this is an opportunity for me. I'm going to take care of this like he wants.
I had no idea that you would work your way through so quickly.
It doesn't feel like it concerns you yet, right? Don't think of Tae-gang as far-off.
Let's collaborate. We can do it.
You're embarrassing me.
Have some greed. It's not far from reach.
I feel so good today... Can you do me a favor?
What do you mean by cloth diapers?
Then what? How are we going to afford paper diapers?
Are you telling me that you don't even have money for diapers?
What kind of irresponsible father are you?
Brother-in-law gave us some money when she was born. Hand it over.
What's the matter with you?
I can't blame my mother. How could she give you love?
The money's for the baby, so hand it over!
And how are we going to pay for the fine?
Fine?
You should get out.
Where do you expect me to go?
Did they find out about our store through your husband?
They were thankful that he took care of their case.
Happy about a successful divorce, and not a marriage?
I don't understand it at all.
She's their only daughter.
They're so relieved that it's over and behind them.
Anyway, thanks to your husband, I've made a pretty penny.
Where's Ji-eun?
Go on inside. She's feeling frustrated.
Yes.
Tell Se-chan to come out.
He never comes out on his own!
Alright.
That useless boy!
There's got to be more! Give me details!
Is the place sparkling and bright?
Are you that curious? Everyone lives the same.
That's nonsense.
How can you compare that house to ours?
So you think you're high and mighty now?
I should block your little ears. Your mother's at it again.
Good for you!
But, are there really countless maids and servants?
Yea, there are! 58,000 servants!
Not funny...
Goodness!
Why are you walking around aimlessly?
People used to part the streets when I came through.
What happened to me?
What are you doing?
Come help me!
Thief! Stop there! That thief!
- It's a thief! - What is this?
It's Mom's voice.
Boss, my dream is to marry a pretty Korean girl.
Radish, you're hard working and capable, so you'll meet someone.
- Stop that thief! He stole my money! - Move, move, move!
Thief! Stop that thief! That thief!
Thief! Thief! Catch that thief!
Why aren't you eating?
We should have gone to some other market.
You used to live here.
I wanted to tag along with you here when we were in college.
Really?
Yea. I didn't even have the courage to talk to you.
But you went away to study.
You're still holding me against that? You must have been disappointed.
I cried for many days, and then went to see your mother.
My mother?
All of the other guys tried getting my attention, except for you.
Do you know how much my pride was hurt?
Don't look at me like that. You can make it up.
Hurry up, let's go buy my hairpin. You're buying one for me, right?
Stop chasing me you leech!
Yea, let's go.
Thank you.
What's going on? Was there a thief in the store?
The owner of the vegetable store went after him.
But you were there... How did the thief get in?
He was in our home all along. Se-chan Jang!
What?
What are we doing? Let's go!
- Mom! - Hurry up!
Mom! Mother!
Stop right there!
Stop chasing me! I'm the son-in-law!
That's such a ridiculous lie!
I'm not a thief! Do I look like a thief!
Stop resisting and follow me.
If you keep this up, I'll be forced to subdue you.
Why that!
Following me again?
How is it?
It's pretty, but do you really want to wear this?
I wanted one of these all my life.
Other girls would buy these accessories, but my mother wouldn't allow me.
You've made a wish of mine come true.
How's this?
I like it. Put it on for me?
Sure.
Mom!
It looks nice.
I can't run anymore!
Get up, let's go!
You don't need to drag me there.
I live there.
Goodness! Why do you keep telling lies like that?
Get up now!
You're going to get hurt, Mister. Let's go of me now!
Why you...!
Why did you come all the way here? I was going to bring him back.
Why you... This is going to be the end of you!
Mom! Mom, stop it! Not here!
Let go of him and talk, won't you?
You dare steal from me? This will be the end of you!
- Let go of me. I'll follow you home. - Shut up, and follow me!
- Mom! - Let's go!
I can take him. I'll take him to the police for you!
No! That's enough.
- Thank you, but you can leave now. - My shoe!
Your mother could be in danger! He might get away from her.
No, that's not it! You've helped enough, alright?
Didn't that man steal from the store?
Yes.
No, you're right, but... Anyways, it's enough.
I don't think she'd be alright alone.
What's the matter with you! You don't listen, do you?
It's our family matters, so please stay out of it.
He's my brother-in-law. My sister's husband, satisfied?
Excuse me!
Forget it. That's enough now!
Excuse me!
[Subtitles provided by MBC]
We're living comfortably with our 7 year old daughter.
Even if I were to divorce her, I want it to be amicable.
Don't make me wait.
I never waited for anything.
I won't wait for you either.
I'm starting to think that I shouldn't have extended the favor.
I don't think I should have hid you from your wife.
Why that cabbage...!
Do you have a habit of looking at people like that?
What?
You looked at me like that yesterday too...
Ah, yes...
