[Episode 32]
You're insane! Do you think you can step all over me?
You're acting reckless.
Want to see more? I can show you more!
Leave this company. Then I won't return.
I don't care if you do or not.
What's so great about making kimchi?
Are you insane?
Stop your shenanigans! It's pointless!
What's the meaning of this?
Chairman!
What are you doing right now?
I apologize.
Are you alright?
Yes, I'm fine. I wasn't expecting you here.
Your guests are waiting. Go on.
I need to talk to you.
Let's go.
They were able to grow by claiming that the kimchi was made by Tae-gang.
So what?
How can a lawyer raise his fists to another?
I've warned him legally, but he didn't seem to listen. I apologize.
This is their grand opening.
Is that behavior appropriate here?
I've already discussed the problem with Mr. Shin, so don't harass him any longer.
Don't interfere with my matters ever again.
Welcome!
Thank you for your support!
Now, for a few word from the owner of , Tae-kyung Shin.
Thank you for your precious time.
Thank to everyone's help, we have finally opened our doors.
From our gardens to your table,
we promise to only use the very best ingredients in our kimchi.
Just watch us, we'll do our very best!
We'll do our very best!
Now that we've heard our owner's awkward message,
Come on up, please try our kimchi for yourselves.
Give us your opinions.
Welcome.
Thank you for coming out to support me.
That was quite a grand opening.
It's important how you carry your business from now on.
Forget about what happened earlier.
Yes, Chairman.
Do you have some time for me tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Yea, let's share a meal together.
If your father was still alive, he wouldn't just send me away on a day like this.
Kimchi-Master? I want to meet her as well.
Yes, I'll talk to her.
Ha-eun!
I want you to meet someone.
Did you try the kimchi last night?
I did. It's was just like your mother's, as you said.
She's the one responsible for the kimchi.
How do you do?
He's a friend of my father's.
Nice to meet you. Please take good care of Tae-kyung.
Not at all. He's the person helping me.
It's probably not easy working closely with this guy. He's so stubborn.
Since you're busy, why don't you head out?
Yea. We'll meet again.
He must be someone important.
Se-chan, you mustn't tell anyone at home about what happened today.
Don't worry, I won't say anything.
But what's wrong with Dong-joon?
Why was he trying to ruin the grand opening?
Want to try some?
I'm fine.
This kimchi is perfect! Just perfect.
Are you insane?
Stop your shenanigans! It's pointless!
What's the meaning of this?
What are you doing here alone?
What did I do? Did I ruin the grand opening?
Not at all. It was my fault. I think I escalated the situation.
If you put it that way, I have nothing to say...
What more needs to be said?
Let's go. I was looking for you.
Let's go turn on the factory switch.
What?
Let's pull the switch together. Hurry.
How can a lawyer raise his fists to another?
Don't interfere with my matters ever again.
With the success of your opening and our kimchi, I'm feeling really good.
Yes, it's a relief.
It feels even better because other people agree that it tastes like my mother's.
About the friend of your father that we met earlier...
Right! He invited us for lunch tomorrow.
He wants to celebrate our success.
He wants you to be there, what do you think?
Me?
I think he really enjoyed the kimchi.
Give it some thought?
Yes, I will.
Boss, do we clean up outside now?
Yea, let's do that. Let's go.
Oh, Master! Is our kimchi coming along nicely?
Yes, I've confirmed the packaging.
And where's Tae-kyung?
He said he was going to stay back to wrap things up.
Really? I should go and help him.
Um, I have something to ask you.
Ask me?
Do you know anyone at the Tae-gang Group?
I thought I heard something from an affiliate.
Not me, but Tae-kyung.
You saw earlier, didn't you? The chairman stopped by.
That was the chairman of Tae-gang?
I thought he introduced you to him.
You can tell by the way he shows up for these events how he cares for Tae-kyung.
It makes me so frustrated!
They're calling you outside. They're pulling down the awnings.
Yes... I was on my way out.
Have you apologized to our boss?
What?
You almost ruin our event, and you didn't apologize?
Your husband almost ruined the entire grand opening!
It makes me so angry!
[Dong-joon Im]
It's me. I didn't call you while you're busy, did I?
I was wondering about the kimchi vendor you spoke of earlier.
Do you think we'll sign with them?
I'm going to talk to my father about it now.
Yea, look into it and let me know.
He's waiting for you.
Oh, I have something to ask you.
Yes, Director.
Do you know the contact information of Tae-kyung Shin, who was here yesterday?
The chairman contacted him personally, so I don't know.
This is the previous half's revenue report.
As you can see, there's a huge difference.
This is an opportunity for our chain, Father.
Why are you bringing this up again?
Your grandfather and I never ran our business this way.
Is it because of that business?
I'm looking over it. Let's talk about it later.
You're not being fair. You always said not to depend on network connections.
How can you consider signing with a newly open business?
Aren't you giving him favoritism?
I'm reviewing all of our options fairly.
Father.
My standard has never changed. It's providing our customers with the best.
I agree with you. That's why I want to sign only with the best companies.
Our company's image can be uplifted by this company.
And what about revenue?
If we're true to the consumer, success will follow thereafter.
And finding great vendors like this is your duty as well.
If we made it, we should sell it!
How are we going to make anything if we're always waiting for it to ripen?
Our customers have different tastes.
There are those who like unripe kimchi,
but we should provide the best time frame to enjoy our products.
You never rush anything, do you...
You has to experience the day we have to shell out salaries for our employees,
then you'll understand.
You said that the kimchi needs to be ripened for about 1 to 1.5 month?
Yes. That's when it tastes tart and fresh.
One to one and a half month?
Boss, Hoon's back from school!
- Hey Hoon! - Dad! Dad!
How was school? You should see our factory.
Dad, I'm hungry. When do we eat?
Eat?
It's been awhile, Hoon. How have you been?
How are you?
Dad, I'm really hungry!
Let's all go out. Today's menu is kimchi and bacon!
Where's the restaurant?
The location is our back parking lot! Let's have a BBQ party!
I thought we were going someplace nice.
Why would we leave behind our delicious kimchi?
Hoon, how does kimchi and bacon sound?
The best!
See? Should we go set the grill?
Let's go!
I'm going to go on home.
No. You didn't eat anything all day.
Not that she didn't eat, she couldn't eat anything!
Ha-neul.
Am I wrong? Did everyone forget what happened earlier?
Can we meet right now? I have something to tell you.
I had something come up, so I have to go now.
But it's to commemorate our opening...
I'm sorry. If you'll excuse me...
Master...!
Ha-eun, let me take you home.
There's the bus, and I know the way.
You're still unfamiliar with the area.
I'll be fine. Go on back. Everyone's waiting for you.
Then go on ahead. I'll catch a cab for you.
I can do it myself.
All I have to do is wave and yell ‘taxi'.
Go back inside.
Ha-eun.
You're not dwelling on it, right?
We've already talked about everything.
I'll be on my way.
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't feel for you.
I've been thinking about you and I feel bad.
But what can I do? He's my brother.
I want you to know that I had no choice.
I was disappointed, but I don't blame you.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I knew that you'd understand!
But what's did yo want to tell me? Why did you want to see me?
Do you want to work for me?
Work?
I'm sure there's nothing much you can do with a background in housewife.
So why don't you help me out?
I said I don't blame you, but that doesn't mean I want to see you every day.
Don't you need the money?
It's not hard. Just do as you always have for me by cooking and cleaning...
And you'll be paid for it. Not a bad deal.
What did you say?
Get paid for what you did for free before.
Why you...!
You owe my brother and me!
Since your family was always siphoning money from us,
I never got to carry a brand-name bag!
My friends are jealous that my brother's a lawyer,
But I got nothing to show for it!
I forget that you two are related. Shameless and despicable.
You and your brother's exactly the same.
Ha-eun!
I can't believe that I expected more from you...
I'm so sick of you.
Cook for you? Clean?
I was worried about you, so
Don't ever call me again!
Why are you overreacting?
I was nothing more than a maid who cooks and cleans for you.
If you ever once respected me as an in-law, you couldn't talk this way to me!
Are you serious?
If you need someone, go ask your new sister-in-law.
I thought she's rich and mighty?
She could simply refuse.
Why is this so expensive?
Nothing's working out for me!
Are you alright? Are you hurt?
Why didn't you get your phone? I was worried!
Why, what's wrong? Did something happen?
I heard that Dong-joon stopped by today? He was causing a commotion?
How can he? He's already married off to another family!
Why was he there? What give him the right to show up and be rowdy?
Se-chan.
Mother should know.
He might come barging in here, so shouldn't we prepare ourselves?
He better not try! I'll soften him up myself!
I have to keep exercising!
I really didn't take him for that sort of guy.
Go to the gym with that, this is a cake store!
Get out of the way!
Anyways, how did he find out that you work there?
He still has a bone to pick with you? What does he want?
And I can't be following you around everywhere... what are we to do?
You saw earlier, didn't you? The chairman stopped by.
I thought he introduced you to him.
You can tell by the way he shows up for these events how he cares for Tae-kyung.
About the lunch meeting tomorrow... I don't think I should go.
You ran far today, Honey. It's hot isn't it?
Yea. I feel fresh after breaking a sweat.
Go take a shower. You'll catch a cold.
Oh and why don't you make some time this afternoon?
Afternoon? What's going on?
I want to meet with Tae-kyung to congratulate him on his opening.
Visit him at the factory next time, but join us for lunch.
But it's such short notice. I already have plans.
Can't you cancel those plans?
You didn't tell me before because it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not.
Honey.
I'm sorry. I can't cancel my plans.
Did you talk to your father at the company yesterday?
About what? Is Father saying something?
He's planning to meet with Tae-kyung this afternoon to confirm some deal.
It's a hunch I'm getting.
He said he was going to give it some more thought, and now he's decided?
I have to go there. Where's the location?
You eat kimchi very well. Isn't it spicy?
I enjoy eating kimchi. I love it.
I heard that you're meeting with Tae-kyung Shin?
I told her because I couldn't go.
What do you think about Hyun-ji going in my place?
We've already made plans. I can't just change them without asking him.
You can call him now.
He's coming with the manager of the kimchi operation.
That's even better. I want to see why you believe in this company so much.
Wouldn't it be easier than trying to convince me?
Yea, I guess you're right. You should familiarize yourself with him anyways.
Ugh, I don't know about this.
I'm leaving first.
Hey, it's ready, eat before you go.
I have to leave early if I want to stop by the farm before the factory.
Oh, I have plans this afternoon.
Stay in the factory for me today.
What kind of plans? Who are you meeting?
Chairman Park.
Really? He's buying lunch?
He came yesterday and now again today?
It's nothing. We're just eating.
Still!
I won't talk about all of this, so don't get any ideas!
I'll see you at the factory later.
‘I won't talk about all of this, so don't get any ideas!' That selfish...!
So salty! So salty!
[Da-yool's Mother]
Make the call.
No...
Weren't you about to make a call?
No, I was checking my messages.
Are you really going there today?
I wanted to go to the hospital to see how much our baby's grown.
Thanks, but I have to be there.
You know I need results by the next half year report.
I'm going after the department stores in the fall.
Work is important, but our baby is more important.
And your pre-natal care.
What better pre-natal care is there than a hard-working mother?
Let's go.
Call me if he ever shows up again!
Okay.
Watch for cars!
I'll be back.
Oh my, why are you here?
I was watching my inventory come in earlier.
Then I came here to wait for you.
How long did you wait? You should have called.
Did you eat breakfast?
You haven't? Would you like some rice cakes?
No... it's alright.
Let's go. We need to go to work. Let's go.
Do you think our kimchi's fermenting well?
Of course. It starts as we prepare the cabbages in salt.
Isn't it amazing?
The fact that the right conditions could produce such a thing is amazing to me.
That's why they say it's good for your health. You're doing good work.
I'm not doing it alone, am I? We're all in it together.
What about this afternoon? Want to come along?
Hello... yes, Chairman.
Your daughter?
Yes, I understand.
I'm fine with it.
Yes, I'll see you soon.
I think you should stay back today.
Why, was it cancelled?
Not that, but he's bringing his daughter.
I don't know her, so I think you may feel uncomfortable.
I see...
I'll go alone. That'll be for the best.
Let's go.
Why didn't you get your phone!
Are you still at that company?
I won't quit no matter what you say.
Stop calling me. I'm not picking up.
Are you going to that lunch this afternoon?
What?
You know you can't be there, right?
That person is the Chairman of Tae-gang!
So what? Why shouldn't I be there?
He's my father-in-law!
That's great. Sounds amusing, doesn't it?
Are you crazy? Why don't you think of me?
Why would I think of you?
I want to go with you this afternoon.
Ha-eun.
I want to go. I want to go with you.
The person you have dialed...
Yes, are you busy? This is Dong-joon Im.
Could you tell me the location of the Chairman's lunch meeting?
Yes, I understand. Thank you.
Let's go, Father.
Is it time already?
If we leave now, we'll be on time.
Yea. He's my best friend's son. Be on your best behavior.
Don't worry about me. Let's go.
Are you okay?
What is it?
You come with me.
What do you think you're doing?
Didn't you hear me? Follow me now!
Stop yelling and sit down.
I'm sorry. I'll tell you the details later.
Come out before I drag you out!
Get out, Ha-eun Yoo!
I said sit down!
What are you doing?
You stay out of this!
Mr. Im, what are you doing here?
Ah, yes, Father...!
[Subtitles provided by MBC]
You should have let it go!
Why should I forgive that man?
No, I want to ruin that man!
Quit the company!
I'll set up another kimchi factory for you!
You should have stopped him! How can you let them eat together?
I'm not letting them take one step into Tae-gang!
Tae-kyung might miss his chance with Tae-gang because of you.
I think I don't belong...
Without you, does not exist.
Where you can't go, we won't go either.
