[Episode 76]
It's not important what your father thinks.
We have to stop Tae-kyung from joining our company.
What makes you so confident?
Hyun-ji.
Who said Tae-kyung Shin isn't joining our company?
He can't join us.
I'd made sure of that.
He told me that he will.
He said that he wonders about our expressions
if he joins the company.
What did you do now, Mother!
You met with Tae-kyung?
He said that?
It seems like they already know.
It's like Father and Tae-kyung Shin
both know that they're related!
That's enough!
You mustn't say that aloud!
You're thinking the same thing.
Hyun-ji.
Isn't it because you're nervous that you keep meeting with him?
Don't repeat that ever again.
Mother.
I'll make sure he goes away,
so make sure that you avoid any confrontations with your father.
What can you do to stop him?
I'll risk everything to protect you.
You are our only child.
There's no one else but you.
Tae-kyung Shin!
You like that one? This one's about witches.
Witches!
Wow, look at these.
Come here. I like this!
It's a goblin!
Stop it!
Da-yool, Da-yool! Look at this!
You can look at the pictures.
This one?
We'll take these.
Mom, are you buying all of these?
Of course.
We're going to have so much fun!
Isn't there a discount if we buy 10 or more?
We'll take it.
I can read all by myself now, Mom.
Really?
Then you should be well prepared for elementary school next year!
Yea. I can read books without pictures now.
Really? But you never liked books without pictures.
But the lady won't buy me any picture books,
so I tried reading a normal book. And I liked it.
Really?
You must be so smart, since you've read so many books!
Yea! My teacher says that I memorize the best,
so I got the lead part.
The lead part?
Yea.
Are you having an event at your school?
Yea.
Can you make it, Mom?
I asked Dad that I wanted to go with you,
but he said that we can't lie to the lady.
I see. Is your father going?
I can go to your school next year.
You can't come?
Why not?
Sorry, Da-yool.
Do you know how late it is?
Must you let everyone know that you're in a bad mood?
Don't you know that I'm struggling right now?
I know.
I know very well.
What is it? What's the matter?
It's nothing.
I've just been thinking.
And now I think I understand you.
I'm going to wash up. Go on and get some rest.
It seems like they already know.
It's like Father and Tae-kyung Shin
both know that they're related!
I said not to do it!
Why won't you listen to me?
I'll take care of it, so you stay out of it!
There was a fire at .
What? Why all of a sudden?
I have no idea.
Was anyone hurt?
I don't know, and I don't care.
I can't read to you and I can't see you perform at school.
I'm sorry, Da-yool.
I'll work much harder,
so that I can bring you home
before you enter elementary school.
We'll be together soon.
[Tae-gang Group/ Chairman]
Open it.
What is this?
The chairman's business card.
You can fill in the name there.
I won't hand over this seat to Tae-kyung Shin.
I'm thinking about meeting with Tae-kyung Shin today.
Who?
I thought you wanted me to drive him away?
I know you're busy, but I want you to come with me.
Why do I have to be there?
I need you to tell him to continue his kimchi business.
What?
If you want to keep him away from Tae-gang,
we'll have to keep him where he is now.
That's the easiest way.
If you gave him a choice between kimchi and Tae-gang,
don't you think he'll choose kimchi?
I don't think he'll want to give up his current job to work under me.
So what you're saying is that we help their situation now
and allow them to continue their business?
Think about it.
Would you rather give up the kimchi or Tae-gang?
Why would I lose Tae-gang?
What are you talking about?
What do you mean by that?
I didn't mean anything by it.
I just think it's better if he continues to make kimchi than to join us.
If you weren't the owner of their building,
this idea wouldn't have crossed my mind.
I didn't buy it so they can benefit from it!
Well, it's working out in our favor.
How is that good for us?
You'll see why it's a good thing that you bought that building.
Let me know when you make your decision.
I'll schedule a meeting with him.
I know it's a holiday, but this is ridiculous.
Wow, you have the royal feast to yourself.
Enjoy the meal, Sis.
Brother!
How can your in-laws treat me this way?
What is it now?
I'm eating alone!
I came here because I was sick of eating alone!
So does it make you feel sad?
It makes me sad too.
Eat your food.
Is that really my brother?
You're planning to allow them to continue the kimchi business?
What if your father shows up there again?
Do you think I don't know that?
There's no need to coerce his decision.
He'll give it up on his own.
And what if he ends up at our company?
He can't. And he won't.
Don't you get it by now?
Nobody knows what that man is thinking about!
The both of you might end up humiliating yourselves.
I don't know why I even have to concern myself with this!
Hyun-ji.
We can't allow him to join our company,
and I don't want to rebuild his business for him!
It's driving me insane!
I can stay by myself.
Why are you trying to send me to Grandma's?
She's already waiting for you.
Wear this and get going.
Hurry up!
Then give me some spending money!
Why do you need money when your grandma will be feeding you?
Here, I'll give you some.
Hey!
Buy yourself something good to eat.
Thank you very much!
You better not spend all of that money!
Bye, I'll be going now.
- Get going. - Be safe!
We're late too. Let's get going.
Bro.
Sorry, Bro.
You're the one going through hardships right now.
You don't have to be sorry.
I really wanted it to work out.
But I don't think it's a good idea to keep going.
This is my fault and
I'm sorry that I don't have better news for you.
There's no need for that.
I'll talk to our factory employees.
Not many of them are left.
I'll explain to whoever remains, so don't worry about it.
Are you going to be alright?
Yea, I'm fine.
I'm fine, Bro...
Really? Goodness!
Everyone in your house fights at the breakfast table?
Ji-eun.
It's either the lady or Grandfather that leaves the table in anger.
Then Grandmother becomes sad. It happens every day.
How can you eat in that environment?
People should be left in peace when eating.
You, your father, and your aunt
probably end up eating together every day.
Why did Dong-joon marry into that household?
Watch what you say!
I didn't say anything wrong!
Da-yool, go on and eat your breakfast.
Yes.
What are you doing with Da-yool today?
It's the restaurant's very first day off,
so why don't you two go to someplace nice?
We're going to turn on the fan and read some books at home.
Why don't you at least visit the sauna together?
We're going to make food and spend time together.
Really? Da-yool, is that okay with you?
Yes, I like cooking with Mom.
Then why don't we go out to the river to relax?
Should we? Want to go, Mom?
You two go on ahead.
My knees are sore and I want to rest at home.
You're usually the one who enjoys it the most
when we go on an outing.
Da-yool, want to come along?
No, I want to read with Mom at home.
Let them spend some time together, and let's go out.
Yes, go on.
It seems like such a hassle...
You're always ruining the plan!
I'll carry you on my back, Mother.
Let's go together.
I don't expect you to carry me,
so just don't put our house at risk again!
I'd be happy if you'd only stay out of trouble!
Forget it, I'm not going.
Come on, let's go!
It looks as if the fire was started by the ventilators.
The ventilators?
It seems that water got inside and caused a short circuit.
Wouldn't the fuse be burned out if there was a short circuit?
Sometimes when the fuse is wet,
the circuit breakers fail to activate.
I suspect that's what happened this time around.
Is there any other possible explanation?
You mean arson?
If we suspected arson, we wouldn't be talking about a short circuit.
There isn't enough evidence to suspect arson.
You should be grateful that nobody was seriously injured.
Are we going back to selling vegetables here?
Just for the time being.
But the boss loves his kimchi...
Things are difficult for Tae-kyung right now.
Let's do our best to support him.
Why is everyone here on a holiday?
We are your employees.
We're here to support you.
I like this office better anyways.
I did some spring cleaning this morning.
I helped to clean as well!
Thank you everyone.
No need to thank us!
This is our company.
To be honest, I have a bit of bad news...
If it's about , we already know.
I told them that we're taking a break from the kimchi.
Back to work!
Don't worry, Boss.
You can depend on us.
Stay strong! We can do it.
Yes, this is Tae-kyung Shin.
I'd like to meet with you today.
What's this about?
We need to discuss some things about the recent fire.
I've already spoken with President Hyun-ji Park about that.
She'll be meeting with us. I'd like to meet with you today.
What is it?
Is there a problem?
No, nothing like that.
Everyone go on home and rest.
Let's start fresh and early tomorrow.
Tae-kyung Shin, take this and beat it.
It's the best option you'll ever have.
I don't think Tae-kyung Shin will accept that.
Won't he end up laughing at us?
Then do you have any other ideas?
I'll see you there.
[Closed for Business]
Who are you?
We are living pieces of pottery!
What? Living pottery?
Yes, we are living pottery.
Then can I breathe as well?
Of course you can.
You'll be filled with something very soon.
Don't forget that your contents will be alive.
Do pots really breathe like we do?
Of course!
Do you remember the pots I used to fill with kimchi?
Yea. You always went downstairs to get the kimchi.
The kimchi becomes tasty because the pots breathe.
Isn't it amazing?
Yea.
But Mom, all this reading is making me sleepy.
Sleepy? No! You mustn't fall asleep!
We need to cook soon.
Let's get up, hurry up!
Let's get a move on!
We need to go out to the restaurant.
I fooled you! I lied!
What? How dare you tease your mom!
Tickle, tickle!
My goodness!
We're willing to rebuild your factory for you
so that you can continue your kimchi business.
I don't see how you can refuse this offer.
You had given me two weeks to rebuild my business.
What made you change your mind?
Are you taking our offer or not?
I'm curious as to your motives.
We're offering to take full responsibility for the fire,
renovate your factory, and renew your contract.
Why wouldn't you accept the offer?
So I'm asking you why.
I don't understand why you would help me.
The Chairman wishes to hire you into our company.
So what?
You wouldn't belong here.
How can a simple farmer be expected to manage an agriculture fund?
I understand that you owe the Chairman quite a bit.
It's your duty to refuse his offer.
I've refused many times already.
You never make yourself clear,
so father continues to offer his help to you.
Just accept it.
Go and make all the kimchi your heart desires.
Whether or not I make kimchi or join Tae-gang,
it will be my own decision.
Can't you see that I'm helping you make your decision?
I won't accept your offer.
I'm sorry to have wasted your time.
Please excuse me.
I told you he'll refuse!
He'll probably give it some thought.
We've cast the bait. Now we wait.
What makes you so confident?
Think about it.
He'll have to swallow his pride.
He has employees to think about.
When we meet him again, he should accept the offer.
This is good. Want to try some?
I did well, didn't I?
You did a better job than me!
I'll have to try harder now.
Try this. How is it?
I want to be a chef like you when I grow up.
A chef?
You'd be really good at that.
Really?
Mister!
Mister?
Mister! Mister!
Da-yool! Have you been well?
Yes.
Your doors were closed, so I thought you went somewhere.
You should have called. We've been home all day.
I've made some rice balls.
Want to try some?
Should I try one?
Wow! What is all of this?
Da-yool, are you going somewhere?
Are you headed somewhere?
No. We're making food for fun.
I made this, and helped with this too!
She wanted to make some picnic food.
If you packed a lunch, we should go on a real picnic.
Da-yool wanted to stay home.
I know a really great park.
We can have a picnic there.
There's a fountain there as well!
A fountain?
Okay!
Mom, I want to see the fountain!
Really? Then should we go?
Yea. I'm going to wash my hands.
I guess she changed her mind.
But are you feeling better? Are you sure you want to go outside?
I need some fresh air.
Can I come along?
Alright, we'll let you tag along.
[Personnel records]
He used to work in Pakistan?
Yes, Mr. Kim.
The Chairman has arrived at his office, Director.
Yes, I understand. Good work.
Father.
Why are you here on a holiday?
I had some work to catch up on,
and I've been reviewing personnel records
for the management team.
Management team?
Do you have anyone in mind?
It's hard to make a decision now.
I'll have to determine who'd work well with Tae-kyung Shin.
I haven't even brought this up to Tae-kyung yet.
If it suits you, may I meet with him first?
You will?
If I approach him in a business aspect,
wouldn't he find it more difficult to refuse?
Let's give it a bit more thought,
Yes. What should I do about Hyun-ji?
I have no doubt she'd resist Mr. Shin joining our company.
Then until we know for certain,
I'll keep this a secret from her.
I think Da-yool will grow up to be a great chef.
I've never had a tastier rice ball in my life.
Really?
Mom, he likes my rice ball.
Good for you, Da-yool!
I'll make some more for you next time.
Really?
What else do you like to eat?
I like everything that you make.
How about baby kimbaps?
I love those! Promise me.
Wow! It's the fountain!
You're going to slip and fall!
I'll get her.
Wait for me, Da-yool!
Why won't she get my calls?
Did you have fun, Da-yool?
Yea, it felt like I went swimming.
Let's go wash up.
Okay.
Da-yool, let me know what you want to do the next time you come back.
I'll spend the day with you again.
You should say thank you.
Thank you.
No problem.
Da-yool, come here!
I didn't have a chance to say goodbye yet!
What are you doing?
Are you insane?
[Subtitles provided by MBC]
I've seen you make Tae-kyung feel miserable.
Since you've figured me out,
you should know what I'm capable of.
You didn't see his face like I did!
He sounded like he was going to join us.
How do you intend to make her happy?
Can you even feed her properly?
I have feelings for Tae-kyung.
I'm going to make it work between us.
As I mentioned yesterday, I'm giving up the factory.
Then do you plan to join this company?
I guess you can see it that way.
