[Episode 63]
I heard you quit.
Fancy meeting you here.
What brings you here?
I'm here to talk to you.
Do you still have business with me?
I thought I didn't, but it seems I still do.
Whatever it is, I'm not interested.
It's something that may surprise you.
Shouldn't you listen?
I don't want to hear anything from you.
Please turn back.
Let's go, Ha-eun.
It's about my father.
What business do you have left with me?
I can see that this has nothing to do with the Chairman.
So what is it?
And yet, you agree to meet with me.
Thank you.
It was for Ha-eun.
I didn't want you to be near her any longer.
Are you telling me that I should thank her?
Get to the point.
Sell to Tae-gang.
What did you say?
This isn't my idea.
My father wants to buy out your company.
The Chairman?
Your goal was to provide good kimchi to many people.
It'll happen much easier once Tae-gang takes control.
Don't you understand my father's intentions?
No, I understand.
Then will you consider it?
I understand how he must feel,
but I will do no such thing.
Please tell him that is not for sale.
I thought you were going to repay
your parents' debt to my family?
Was that all talk?
I'm giving you an opportunity to repay their debt.
Yet, you're refusing my offer.
You're very different from your father.
It's like you don't know him as well as I do.
What did you say?
Not only would the chairman never make this decision,
he would never relay information in this manner.
Don't you know your own father?
Watch what you say!
I don't believe this is the Chairman's offer.
If we're done here, you can leave.
Please enjoy.
Thank you very much.
I think it's ready to eat.
Thank you.
Please enjoy.
Should we see?
I think it's done.
It's ready.
Please enjoy.
Thank you!
Why?
Does it taste funny?
I have to call Hoon.
Radish! Can you bring Hoon here?
This kimchi soup will require three bowls of rice!
It's delicious!
Right?
So bring Hoon here.
I'm not going to get him. I'm going to eat.
Is this the first time everyone's tasting Ha-eun's kimchi soup?
It's second to none.
Second to none?
It's because the quality of the kimchi is great.
Excuse me, please don't double dip your spoon.
We're all family...
Ha-neul, you're being quiet,
so you must like it.
Master, can you wrap some for Hoon?
I'll prepare some food for Hoon. Don't worry.
Why is she making food for Hoon?
I thought you were just a good chef,
but you're kind as well!
Thank you for everything here.
What's everyone laughing about?
What is all of this?
This tastes better than the place that you go to!
This is our Master's handiwork.
What are you doing? Pull up a seat and eat.
It's delicious.
Stop that already!
Ha-eun, you made this?
Everyone's working late, so I wanted to provide some dinner.
Really?
The smell is intoxicating.
Don't waste the food!
That's fifty cents right there!
I don't have fifty cents...
You're very different from your father.
It's like you don't know him as well as I do.
This is Hyun-ji Park.
I have a job for you, so get ready.
You'll have to take care of this personally for me.
I can take you home.
You have to get back to work. Go on back.
Thank you for taking care of everyone's dinner.
I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.
I've never seen everyone enjoy a meal like that.
And I enjoyed it as well.
I think food makes the best gift.
You can put your heart into making it.
You can think about the people you're cooking for.
Where do you come up with that?
It sounds like normal thoughts,
but you have a unique perspective on things.
Really? Not at all.
Nothing happened earlier?
Of course not.
Nothing happened.
Are you really okay?
When I listen to that woman sometimes,
I feel sorry for her.
It feels like I'm dealing with a young child.
Me too.
Sometimes I want to get angry at her
and sometimes I ignore her,
but I can't seem to figure her out.
I'm hoping we won't have to deal with this any longer.
I hope so.
We just need to live out our lives now.
There's the bus.
I'll be on my way.
That bus is usually late. But it's early today.
This report shows our numbers by departments.
Even in our early stages, we are keeping up with revenue.
Really?
As you can see,
our consumers have shown preference to our food products.
Specifically, organic produce have been very popular.
I see.
The attitude towards organic food has certainly changed.
Yes.
For that reason,
I propose that we use a portion of our proceeds
to strategically setup an agriculture fund.
A fund?
It would serve as a back-up fund.
Once the fund is established,
the a portion will go to directly help farmers.
I'm confident that this will help revive our department store's image as well.
I don't want to promote the department store with this.
That's not it.
We can directly invest into the agriculture industry,
and we'll be providing much needed help to the farmers as well.
I want you to outline specific details and provide me a proposal.
Yes, I understand.
I thought you were only tending to Hyun-ji, but it seems you've been working hard.
It seemed to me that you value agriculture.
I've been thinking about this fund
before we opened the department store.
Alright.
Setup a fund with the proceeds of the department store?
Yea. Father already approves.
If you have time for that,
think of a way to buy out .
Buy out ?
You want to acquire it?
Are they willing to sell it?
Why would they?
There's no chance of that.
Then how are we going to acquire it?
That's why you need to think of a way!
Hyun-ji.
I want to take everything away from Tae-kyung Shin.
Aren't we finished with them now?
There's no more need for all of this.
I told you.
I'm taking everything from him.
How can we take it from them unless they go out of business?
There's isn't much time. Find a way.
Sell to Tae-gang.
My father wants to buy out your company.
I should find a part-time job like JI-eun did...
Did you get home safely?
Everyone's spirits are high since you've visited.
Thanks to you, we had a successful day.
Thank you and good night.
I don't think I deserve such praise from you.
I felt that I may have abandoned the company,
so I feel better now.
My heart feels lighter now.
Thank you for the positive message.
I can't forgive father.
Your father doesn't know about this.
Either way, this is all his fault!
You mustn't let this get in between you and your father.
Father betrayed you and me.
How can you forgive him?
We must forgive him!
No!
When he arrives, I'm going to end this tonight!
You can't do that!
Mother!
Do you think he'll give all of Tae-gang to you
if your father finds out about Tae-kyung?
What are you talking about?
Why would he give Tae-kyung Shin anything?
That's nonsense!
That's besides the point.
Your father must never find out.
Why are you protecting father like this?
Don't you know why?
What's your reason?
You have to become the owner of Tae-gang!
Don't you realize why I've lived my life like this?
I've been looking towards you for 20 years!
Mother.
We're almost there. Don't ruin it now.
She made us an entire pot, but this is all that's left.
Really?
Was it that tasty, Hoon?
It was delicious.
She made some omelets for us too.
Omelets too?
Did you have three bowls of rice with it?
How did you know?
Your father had three bowls yesterday too.
Really?
Yea.
Would she consider coming back to work?
You should really talk to her.
I'll do the mixing today.
Don't worry.
It's not only that.
I somehow feel responsible for her leaving.
I never wanted her to quit on us.
It's alright. It's all in the past.
The kimchi soup is really good.
Right?
We should ask her to make us some more next time.
- Should we? - Yea.
We need kimchi more than the soup.
Eat up, Bro.
We have work to do.
Ask her to come back and make kimchi!
Thank you for the meal.
So everyone enjoyed it?
Everyone loved it, Mother!
They were saying that she should open up a restaurant.
They were probably hungry.
A restaurant isn't very easy to run.
What are you going to do from now on?
You can't stay at home all day.
She's been out of the job for only a few days.
No, I have to start looking.
I have a couple of places I'm looking into.
Is there anything you want to do?
What if there is? Are you going to make it happen for her?
Is there?
Not really.
Why don't you think about a restaurant?
The people at work have very particular tastes.
Should that give you enough confidence?
You can't turn a cake house into a restaurant!
Do you have any idea how hard it is to set up a restaurant?
Why not?
We just have to do it.
Consider what it takes...
We'll need to renovate, setup the kitchen...
We would need at minimum, $50,000...
Really? That much?
Still, you should do what makes you happy.
You love kimchi, so naturally, you'd be good with it.
I'm sure it's different running a business.
What's so different about it?
Let's support her, Mother!
Let's hurry up and eat. The food's getting cold.
Go on, Mom.
So much food...
Aren't you a bit old to ask for an allowance?
You didn't get me a job,
so how do you expect me to survive?
Stay home, take care of Da-yool,
and do your illustrations.
You'll be fed here.
Do I look like an insect to you,
to be satisfied by food alone?
Be quiet.
Father hasn't left for work yet.
It looks to me like you're a nothing
but a helping hand in this house!
Soo-jin!
Hyun-ji.
Can you watch what you say?
Did I say anything wrong?
You be quiet.
Let me take care of this.
You said that you want to work and make money?
I do. Why do you ask?
You don't need to concern yourself.
I have time at 2pm, so see you then.
What did I do?
Yea, Da-yool.
Tie my hair for me. I'm late for school.
Do I look like a person who ties your hair?
I want two braids like this, then braid it again.
I'll tie it however I want to.
Okay.
When I'm employed,
I won't be doing this any longer.
Employed, my foot...
Why don't you follow my orders?
Why are the funds for the compensation still locked up?
We still have customers who are making claims!
I told you to stay away from the supermarket!
Why are you always concerned with how I run things?
Leave Tae-kyung alone!
What is he to you anyways?
Hyun-ji!
I'll be dealing with Tae-kyung personally from now on!
Father!
If you go against me again, I'm taking away your title.
Listen to your father.
Mother!
Do it!
If I give up this money,
I won't be able to take that company away from them!
Nothing good will come from going against your father.
Do it as soon as you get to the office.
Why can't you understand me?
I'll take care of Tae-kyung, so listen to your father.
What are you going to do?
I have an idea.
I'll make sure he never shows up to your father again.
So don't worry.
Mom, where were you?
Sit down.
This is $50,000.
What?
Look at it.
[Account balance: $50,000]
Mom.
Close your eyes and just take it.
Where did you get all this money?
No, I can't accept this.
I didn't steal the money.
I got a mortgage on the house.
Mortgage?
You can't put up the house!
Let's clean the store and build a restaurant.
You decide what kind of restaurant you want to run.
But this cake store is everything to you.
Yea, I know.
You worked 5 long years and saved up to buy this place.
That's not what I mean.
This is your occupation.
I'm sick of running a rice cake store. I'm done with it now.
Find out what you need to build a restaurant.
Look into renovating the place, and get an estimate.
Ji-eun can go with you to shop for the kitchenware.
Mom.
Move fast. We have interest to pay off.
You spent your childhood in this store, so I think I'll miss it.
Smile instead of crying.
I want to take everything away from Tae-kyung Shin.
I have an idea.
I'll make sure he never shows up to your father again.
So don't worry.
Renovation, seats, tables, kitchen renovation, kitchenware, cookware...
What did I leave out...?
Yes.
I need to talk to you.
What is it now?
I'll be nearby soon.
Are you going to find out about remodeling?
That too.
We should hold back on big renovations,
and buy used kitchenware to save some money...
Right?
We should pay back the vegetable man first.
I've been thinking about that.
We can't open a restaurant when we still owe him money.
Good thinking.
Then I'll do that.
Thanks, Mom.
It's our responsibility to pay back Se-chan's debt.
So I guess $50,000 isn't even enough...
Bro!
We received the emergency funds from the supermarket.
Really?
I was worried about what we were going to do...
Wait! What do we send first?
Send the cost for the ingredients first.
Then pay off our transportation costs.
Yes, Boss.
They saved us at the last minute.
Hey Radish, it's hot at the store isn't it?
I'll get you a fan.
Korea's colder than my country.
I'll catch a cold.
Radish.
Yes, how do you do?
I was going to visit if you didn't get your phone.
What's this about?
I have something to discuss with you.
I don't want to listen.
It's about your mother.
I'm the only one who can tell you about this.
I'll call you when I get there.
Get out of here!
Grandmother!
And take that girl with you!
Get out my room!
What's the matter with you!
What did Mother ever do to you, Grandmother?
Hyun-ji.
Why, you spoiled brat!
You're both trying to take my son away from me!
Get out this instant!
How can you deny the fact that Mother is Father's wife!
You can't change that!
I won't allow it!
I'm going to tell him to bear a son for me!
I'm not handing this household over to a girl!
Over my dead body!
Grandmother!
I'll make a grandson who looks just like Jae-han,
and I'll give everything to him!
It's about your mother.
[Amount: $19,000]
$19,000?
Thanks for the money. It was helpful.
What are you trying to do?
Did he give you money again?
You still owe me $60,000.
Why don't you ask him for that as well?
I'm going to pay you back.
Take this for now.
I'm leaving.
What do you know about cabbage?
What?
Tell me what you know.
I know enough.
One head, two heads, green cabbage, red, savoy, napa, house, lettuce...
Is that enough?
I'm not talking about cabbages!
Tae-kyung Shin! What's his story?
I don't know what you're trying to find out,
but I'm not telling you anything.
Sit down.
I thought you're pressing charges.
Aren't you busy with that?
What's his link to Tae-gang?
You should go and prepare for your lawsuit.
Ha-eun Yoo!
Your wife is going to be at a disadvantage.
But you still have to try, am I right?
Excuse me.
Four cups of your most expensive coffee please.
Yes.
Cancel that order.
Thank you for meeting with me.
Do you know my mother?
No, I've never met her before.
Then did you lie to get me here again?
I never met her,
but I never said that I don't know of her.
I'm here to tell you the reason why
I've been pushing you away all these years.
Does it have something to do with my mother?
I'm asking you if it has something to do with my mother!
[Subtitles provided by MBC]
I want you to leave for the Chairman's sake, not mine.
He's smart.
Don't you think he might realize he's his son?
I'll do as you ask.
I won't meet with the Chairman ever again.
What do you think about a kimchi soup restaurant?
I'm also excited.
Why do I feel so good this morning?
Give it up.
All you have to do is give up!
I'll have to know if I'm to help you!
A restaurant?
I'll drive you around and move things for you.
Did something happen?
It seems like something serious.
