Episode 37
I'll be on my way.
I was hoping to introduce you to someone, since you're here already.
He should be here any time now.
Oh, you've met each before, remember? It's my son-in-law.
I'm thinking about having him join our marketing group.
He's here.
Hello, Chairman.
Meet Tae-kyung Shin from 'Our Kimchi Garden.'
He'll be providing us with his product.
Ah, yes.
Keep him in mind. He'll be helpful to you.
Yes, Chairman.
Nice to meet you.
The pleasure is mine.
I look forward to working with you.
Why don't we sit down?
Yes, Father.
You'll be overseeing our marketing operations soon,
so the two of you can consult one another.
Father?
You're hearing the news first.
He doesn't know it himself yet.
We'll go over the details later.
Yes, I understand, Father!
He wanted to stay in his own firm,
but things have changed and he's going to join us.
I see.
It must have been a difficult choice...
...to give up on law to join Tae-gang.
Since I've been given the opportunity,
I'll have to do my best.
I can give it up for Father and for Hyun-ji.
Your son-in-law is very good to your daughter.
Is that how it looks?
Well, here we meet again.
I think this was meant to be.
You both met at your grand opening.
We've met before that as well.
Really?
When you asked me to look into the agriculture fund,
I was able to meet many young farmers.
Oh, I see.
Good thing you both are already acquainted.
Would you like to discuss things further over lunch?
No. It seems that you two have much to discuss.
I'll be on my way.
We'll make plans again. We'll have lunch then.
Alright then.
Is he here?
Yes, Director.
I'd like to have a word with you.
How much did Ha-eun tell you about her divorce?
I've heard nothing concerning that.
Then why are you so concerned with her welfare?
Tell me what you want to say.
If you really knew what went on between us three,
you wouldn't want to bring her into Tae-gang.
You should try and discourage her from coming here.
Do you need an explanation of the current circumstance?
I've just agreed to supply the chairman with our product.
Ha-eun and I are now going to solely focus on the kimchi.
I hope that the two of you can do the same.
I hope you're prepared.
I thought that you'd be a bit more rational, but I was wrong.
I'll see you at our stores.
Thank you for the opportunity.
We won't let you and the Tae-gang Group down.
Until we meet again...
'Thank you for the opportunity?'
We'll see how thankful you are.
It's not an easy position,
but I've decided to trust in your intuition.
Thank you for believing in me.
Don't look to show results immediately.
Marketing is not only about skill.
It requires a keen understanding the market and of people.
So take your time developing both.
I understand.
And one more thing.
You may not know this,
but Hyun-ji lacks anyone around her.
She's been so temperamental.
I am hoping that you'll be able to keep her grounded.
Yes, Father.
Make sure you don't jeopardize the company,
and make sound decisions.
Yes, I understand.
How long will it take for you to make the transfer?
Most of my current cases are closing,
so I'll be able to come over immediately.
Alright.
Was I right?
This was out of the ordinary.
I know.
This never happened to me before.
I don't know what to expect.
I know that I mustn't ever disappoint your father.
I'll wager my life on it, Hyun-ji.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
We'll have to celebrate today.
What should we do? Is there anything you want?
Let me take care of our little kimchi problem first.
We can celebrate afterwards.
It's like you can read my mind.
You want to clear everything so you can enjoy the party afterward?
They won't last long. Don't worry.
They'll regret ever stepping into Tae-gang.
I'm confident.
Here you go.
Thank you...
I'm an obedient employee.
So I'm going to make an effort to work things out with you.
You know, it's really in a name...
Like your name means 'sky,' your heart is big as well, Ha-neul.
I know, really.
She's not only pretty on the outside, but on the inside as well.
Let's get along
Just don't bother the boss.
That's my only peeve.
I understand. I'll be careful.
Maybe it's because you both have 'Ha' in your names...?
What's everyone laughing about?
Can you see that our office is lightening up?
We're going to have no issues concerning teamwork now!
Really? I have a bit of good news as well.
Good news? What is it?
Our kimchi will be distributed through Tae-gang's market chains.
I'm on my way from Tae-gang now.
What, really? Did I hear you correctly?
How can this be?
What made you change your mind?
We've been thinking about it for a long time.
Yea, we have...
You should have done it earlier!
Sorry, Bro.
Boss.
So we're going to get busy.
Bro, you're going to have to visit the farm.
Find out the cabbage count.
Ha-neaul, I need you check our ingredient stock.
Yes, Boss.
Um, Boss, I...
And we should head over to the fermentation room.
Sit down here.
Why did you do it?
I changed my mind.
Why did you change your mind?
Don't say it was because of me.
Ha-eun.
I overreacted, and it was a bad idea.
How can you listen to me?
I'm a businessman.
It didn't make sense that we'd supply smaller chains...
...but not the largest one.
We should give many people the opportunity to taste our kimchi.
Boss.
I've made my decision.
Are you going to help me?
We're going to start with one branch.
Depending on the results, we'll expand to more stores.
I should have never brought it up.
I feel so bad about this.
Just make tasty kimchi for me.
That's all I expect from you.
I'm sorry.
I don't want to hear that from you anymore.
I don't want to hear you say that you're sorry.
Let's go. We have to review the contract.
Contract?
I trust you on this one so,
I need your signature so that you won't be able to run away anywhere.
Good work everyone!
How do you do.
Yes!
One fresh cabbage... two... three...
Are there any defects here?
I believe that there are 3 miracles in life.
3 miracles? I'd settle for just one!
But I've already had 2 miracles!
You're the first!
Our Ye-seul would be my second...!
I guess you're right.
And finally, that big one!
The day I hit it big will be my third miracle!
Do you really think a day like that will come?
Of course! No doubt!
Do you even know what the word miracle means?
Huh?
Miracles rarely happen to anyone.
Miracles describe things that never happen to normal people!
Mom! Why do you have to burst his bubble like that?
Stop talking about the big one, and go move the rice bags.
We're still eating!
She won't treat me like that when I hit it big.
Talk after you do it!
[Product distribution contract (Department stores, supermarkets) ]
Why didn't you let me know you were coming?
I did call you! You didn't let me come!
Are you going somewhere? What's this?
Good thing you came by today.
I'm moving to Tae-gang starting tomorrow.
You're giving up your practice?
After what Mother went through to put you through law school?
Are they making you president or something?
Why are you here?
How can you quit when I have a lawsuit for you to file?
A lawsuit? What happened?
I was assaulted by Ji-eun.
Who?
Ji-eun Yoo! She came by and beat me up!
I have to file a lawsuit against her.
Where were you hit?
She struck me in all of the hidden places.
Where?
Where did this occur? Why and how?
Why can't you take my word for it?
Can I have a moment of peace?
You don't care about your sister now that you're living in a rich family?
Stop talking with that household!
Why are you complicating things?
Take care of me!
Aren't you worried if I'm eating properly?
You don't even have money to eat?
Brother!
Tomorrow's my first day.
I'll call you when I get settled in.
You can't treat me like this!
Why are you so concerned with what they say?
Mother, are you asleep with your eyes open? Mother!
Huh? Did you say something?
What did Ha-eun say to you this morning?
What did she say to you this time?
So, your sister...
Never mind, it's nothing.
Are you kidding?
Why don't you finish what you were saying?
No, get back to work.
I got a call...
What the...
Why is he being so secretive?
I don't know.
Go and see who he's talking to.
He never gets any calls, so leave him be.
Scurrying away like a puppy with a bone, I can tell that he's up to something!
Mom! Are you calling him a dog?
They've arrived? When can I see them?
I see. They have come a long way, so they need their rest?
I know. I know you'll give me my $20,000 worth.
I'll meet you in a day or two.
Yes, goodbye.
I got it this time!
Ye-seul, you're such good luck! Everything's going as planned.
Hello? No, I bit my tongue...
Yes, I know the due date.
What are you saying?
I can't lose the home because of $20,000!
But don't worry.
Before the end of the month,
I may have enough to pay off the entire loan.
Yes, goodbye.
Everyone's worried about nothing!
Hello!
You bundle of luck!
So the chairman likes you?
I guess.
He's not the type to invite people into his company either.
I admire the way you're leaving this place.
I don't have time today,
but why don't we get together for a drink soon?
Since the Tae-gang executive's calling, we'll be there!
Of course!
So this is the end of my career as a lawyer.
I've had fond memories of this place.
Don't say things you don't mean.
You're leaving all of a sudden in four days time.
This is the end of Attorney Dong-joon Im.
Congratulations.
Congratulations!
Get these for me?
Da-yool! Why didn't you get your phone?
This is Hyun-ji Park.
Where's Da-yool?
Why are you looking for her?
I heard you're supplying us now?
Let me talk to her!
You didn't expect this?
I thought I explained it enough times.
Don't call her ever again.
Alright. I won't call you about this ever again.
Where's father right now?
Should we open a wine to celebrate his first day tomorrow?
So is Tae-kyung can't be stopped?
You have to stop him, Hyun-ji.
If he slips past you, he may get harder to handle later on.
Harder to handle?
What's the matter with you?
Why do you hate Tae-kyung Shin so much?
I told you.
His parents gave your father a hard time.
Then why isn't father against him?
Is there something else I should know about?
Like what?
Then why are you so sensitive to Tae-kyung Shin?
I heard he brought in Da-yool's mother now!
They won't last long.
And I should worry about him, not you.
Father's here. Let's go.
She's done for the day? When?
Yea, a moment ago. I think she had an emergency.
I have to go too.
Hoon's out of underwear.
I haven't been able to take good care of him since the factory opened.
Want to come along?
I have to go over the contract with Tae-gang. I'll look it over tonight.
You go on.
Alright, then! I'll see you at home.
He's taken his belongings earlier.
Um...
Yes, I understand. I'll leave soon.
So you leave everything behind, Dong-joon Im?
Hurry up! Your underwear have holes in them!
I don't need underwear!
Hurry up. I'll buy you some.
Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun!
Now you can throw your old ones away. Need anything else?
Wait a second. Let me see.
This is better for your daughter.
See? There!
Huh?
She looks healthy, doesn't she?
Why are you loking at boy's underwear?
You need shorts?
Ma'am, I'm a boy.
Stop playing around!
Girls love these nowadays. Take this.
This is my son. He's a boy.
Then what's wrong with his hair?
What about it?
Well, his hair is part of my son's philosophy.
Philosophy?
Right! I gain all of my strength from my hair.
So I never cut any of it.
Hello.
Hello. Is the boss in?
I don't know when he'll be in. He's busy.
Really? I'll be back.
You should call him.
There's no need for that.
I have to go soon...
I'm sorry. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
You haven't closed yet?
Are you leaving now?
I was meaning to meet with you.
With me? What's the issue?
Why don't we go on inside?
You must be tired...
Not at all. Let's go inside.
Come on in. This way please.
Is there something you'd like to tell me?
I heard something this morning.
Is it true that you're in a contract with Tae-gang?
Ah...
Is it true?
Yes, we've decided on it.
You mustn't.
You can't do that.
I'm sorry, but Ha-eun won't be able to continue with you any longer.
Mother.
I can't explain any further.
But you must believe me.
I'll be sure to protect Ha-eun.
Still, it can't be.
I'm thankful for the opportunity,
but she's going to have to quit.
Please trust in me. Watch us.
You may be frustrated, but we have our reasons.
Please believe me. I'm sorry.
The phone you have dialed is turned off...
You sent Tae-kyung the contract already?
Yes, Father. He's going to look it over and contact me.
Yea, secure the deal as soon as he gets back to you.
Yes, Father.
You're really admirable, Father.
I thought his parents gave you a hard time,
so why are you so good to him?
Doesn't he remind you of it?
Hyun-ji!
What are you talking about?
I thought his parents...
You should eat. No one's eating until you start.
Don't talk about thing you don't know about.
Mother told me.
That's not what I said.
Mother!
I think there was a misunderstanding.
Things like this happen,
even between a mother and daughter.
Of course, Mother.
I've learned that through my many trials.
Everyone have different perspectives and point of views.
Well it's nothing of the sort,
so stop talking behind my back about this!
Who is it?
It's no one.
Please excuse me, I need to get the phone.
What are you doing?
You can't call at this time!
Come outside, I'm in front of your house.
What?
I said come outside.
Not now. Call me back tomorrow.
Want me to go inside?
Your food's getting cold.
We prepared all of this for you.
A friend from the Pusan Prosecutor's office is here to see me.
I have to go out for a moment.
What's his name?
You don't know him. I'll tell you about him later.
Must you go while we are celebrating your first day?
He's leaving early tomorrow morning. I'm sorry.
Then at least finish your food. It's a special day.
Huh?
Sit down.
Go on. A man must do what he has to do.
Father.
Go on ahead.
Yes, Father. I'll be back soon.
I'm sorry.
Did you change Da-yool's kindergarten?
Follow me quietly.
Did you change it!
Follow me!
Let go!
What's wrong with changing her school?
What do you mean?
I called you first for your sake,
but I see that was a mistake.
I should have gone inside to get her.
How did you find out that tomorrow is my first day at Tae-gang?
You can't do this to our daughter!
You know how nervous she gets.
You're the one making things hard for her!
You keep showing up when she's about to get use to things here!
I'm making things harder for her?
You really believe that?
I've done everything to get you to listen!
You're the one ignoring me!
Give up on Da-yool now.
Can I go meet with your Chairman?
You don't care if I reveal myself to him?
Ha-eun Yoo!
I'll tell him that the two of you are keeping us apart!
Are you insane?
I'm about to lose Da-yool!
You don't think I could approach him?
What's the matter with you!
Alright, you can see her!
Alright!
If you break your promise again, I'm marching in there.
Why did you change so much?
Answer me!
Next weekend. Satisfied?
Are you satisfied?
Of what?
Hyun-ji!
Is this woman your prosecutor friend?
Hyun-ji.
I'm asking you a question!
Is she your prosecutor friend?
[Subtitles provided by MBC]
You have to send her to school!
I'll buy her every red one-piece dress for sale!
What is it?
Nothing.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
I want you to take care of that.
The Chairman doesn't need to know, does he?
Thank you, Ha-eun. I won't worry. Let's meet soon.
I told him that you were going to quit.
Why would I quit?
Who do you think benefits from my failure?
I'm not quitting. I won't quit!
