Episode 40
Ms. Oh Bom!
Yes?
The other party could not make it today.
What do you mean?
They haven't made up their minds yet.
They haven't made up their minds?
What do they need to decide
when they are about to find their lost child?
Please be honest with me.
What did they say?
They don't want to meet me?
It's not that...
That's all right.
I'm sorry.
I can't get caught now.
I must take care of this.
How may I help you?
Oh.
Is the girl who came to see
her family after registering her DNA here?
She just left.
Did she?
Sir.
Sir!
Mr. An!
What are you doing here?
Gukhui must've gotten a call last night.
Someone has been asking about Paran.
I see.
I came here about that, too.
Really?
I asked around to make sure they have
all information on Paran, and if they've gotten
any calls and there was a misunderstanding.
So you were the one.
I'm sorry.
I made you two confused.
It's all right.
I came here just to make sure.
I am so grateful that
you are taking care of this for us.
No, please don't say that.
I will drive you home.
Let's go.
No, it's all right.
I insist.
I'll drop you off on my way to work.
Please take good care of Maru.
Okay.
I was just at the National Police Agency.
I've been thinking more about Paran recently.
Maybe it's because of our kids' engagement.
Really?
Your husband was there, too.
He said you received a call?
He didn't know it was me who was asking about
Paran and seemed disappointed.
I see.
I didn't want to burden you with this anymore,
so I asked someone else to look into this.
But I'm still burdening you.
Paran is like a daughter to me, too.
How can I forget her and move on?
I was at the National Police Agency.
Yes.
Mr. An told me.
I felt even worse.
I could imagine how tough it must've been
for you to look for Paran all on your own.
You must've felt so lonely
when you went home empty-handed
after handing out flyers.
You suffered through this alone.
That's how I endured this pain for years.
I'm sorry I caused you so much pain.
I was too weak and immature
to endure the pain.
You were crying every day looking for Paran,
and I just couldn't stand to watch it.
That's why I left.
I was a coward.
Please forgive me.
You and I lived such hard lives
because of our missing child.
We decided to move on and couldn't.
She was officially declared missing,
and we doubted ourselves due to a phone call.
Forget it all and move on.
I'll take the burden now.
The other party could not make it today.
They abandoned me in the first place.
They didn't want me and abandoned me.
Oh.
Bom, how did it go?
What's wrong?
They didn't show up.
What do you mean?
They didn't want to meet me.
Bom.
Bom, tell me what happened.
Why did you tell me to register my DNA?
I wanted...
They don't want to see me.
They felt guilty about abandoning me and
probably registered their DNA.
But now that I found them, they didn't want me.
I'm sure there's a reason.
What reason?
Why?
They waited 20 years and
couldn't make it because of traffic?
They got lost on the way?
They were probably afraid to see how I turned out.
Then they shouldn't have looked for me.
They abandoned me twice.
Bom.
Forget it. I don't need them.
I don't want to meet them anymore.
I do feel better now that this is over.
Don't think that way.
Let's wait a little longer.
Wait for what?
Maru, don't try to comfort me.
I don't want to be comforted.
This is terrible.
You're home.
Clean this mess up!
Why? I'm practicing.
I'll clean it up later.
No, you won't.
Have you ever cleaned the living room?
Have you ever cleaned our room yourself?
What's wrong with you?
You're tired from working all day, right?
Did your manager agree to come this weekend?
Why would Mr. An come here?
I'm trying my best to
start a relationship between you two.
You may say no to a rich, old man,
but you're okay with a rich, handsome, young man.
You're so childish and materialistic.
What did you just say?
You're so childish and materialistic!
Listen to yourself.
Did something happen to you at work?
Hey, Oh Bom!
I've been looking for you all day.
Do you have any money?
I'm tired of this.
I feel comfortable with you...
I'm sorry.
You are now trying to borrow money
from your young niece?
Bom is acting strange today.
Something is up.
Here you go, mom.
- Is it good?/ - Yes, it's good.
This one's for you.
- It's good. / - Isn't it?
Drink some rice punch, too.
I have a secret I'd like to share with you.
What is it?
Your secret's safe with me.
I really want to meet my birth parents.
Where can I get money?
Midal won't give me a penny,
and even Bom is ignoring me.
What am I to do?
Jeongmi.
I'm broke,
but I want to see you.
Honey...
I miss you, too.
Should I go see you right now?
Baedal!
Jeongmi!
I came to see you first.
Who cares where we live
as long as we are together?
Right?
Let's go inside and talk.
- Inside? / - Yes, come here.
Be quiet and come with me.
Other married couples go on a honeymoon,
and get to live in a nice, new place.
But I have nothing I can do for you.
What do you mean there's nothing?
You are love, in and of itself to me.
Really?
Lie down on your stomach.
I'll give you a massage.
No, you don't have to.
Okay.
Then imagine we're in a resort in Hawaii,
and I'll give you a massage.
I'm pretty good at it.
Oh my.
Thanks, Baedal.
I mean, honey.
How is it?
Where else would I get a massage this good?
How is it? Does it feel good?
What? There.
It does feel good,
but what if your sister walks in?
My sister would never come here.
- Don't worry, Jeongmi. / - Really?
- Sit up like this for a minute. / - Sit up?
Yes, go like this.
Take off your coat.
Oh, right there. There.
Are you okay? Does it hurt?
Tell me if it hurts.
Yes, it feels good, but...
Isn't it too bright in here?
Massages are supposed to done in a dim place.
You think so, too?
What happened to Bom?
She ran off upset,
and won't answer her phone.
She didn't come home all night.
Oh gee.
Baedal promised he would work hard.
Is he napping in that spare room?
Lee Baedal!
Lee Baedal.
Hey, Lee Baedal!
Lee Baedal!
- It's my sister. / - Oh no.
Yes?
- Hey. / - Yes?
You're still asleep?
Didn't I tell you?
You must close the pub up at night,
and prepare for business in the morning.
I'm just about to do it.
Unbelievable.
Hey! What's that?
What?
What are you doing here?
It's nothing.
What?
I told you it's nothing. Don't pull it.
Oh.
What... Lee Baedal.
Such indecent behavior!
Who are you?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Stop right there.
Midal! Wait. Don't do that.
I'll tell you everything.
There's nothing to hear from you.
Midal!
This is so humiliating.
What's wrong with me?
Hey, you.
How dare you seduce my brother
and do such a thing here!
It's not like that.
- Hey! Hey!/ - Midal!
Hold on.
She's my wife.
I'm married.
What? What are you talking about?
How can you be married?
I'm married.
You ruined our first night together.
What are you talking about?
I get to watch my son all grown up,
wearing a tie to work.
It's true that the clothes make the man.
You look so handsome dressed like this.
Thanks.
I feel so confident now.
Work as you did at the wine bar at HQ, too,
and you'll do fine.
Don't be intimidated.
Be polite to everyone.
Yes, I will do my best.
Be loyal to Gukhui since you get to
work in a suit thanks to her.
Gukhui was kind enough to give you a job and
let you live here even though you're not her son.
Yes, grandma.
You're so harsh.
You look so handsome.
I'm off to work.
I'll come with you.
I want to send you off on your first day.
You can do it, Maru!
I'm off.
Bye.
All of you want a simple engagement party,
so I have no way of showing my love to you.
So you came up with this great idea?
I've been wanting a new winter coat.
You are like a mannequin that came to life.
You look great in everything.
Your compliments are making me blush.
It's true.
By the way, can I ask you for a favor?
A favor?
I had a slight argument with Taeho,
and I want you to be on my side.
I knew it.
I knew something was up at that dinner.
My son never shows so much emotions.
What did you do to upset him?
Of course it's because I'm not good enough.
It's all my fault.
Oh.
All right.
Leave this up to me.
So how's the model competition coming along?
I made the difficult decision to apply,
so I'd like to see some results.
If I get rejected right away,
I think I would be too upset.
You are beautiful enough,
so don't worry.
I'm here for you, too.
You and I are really on the same side now, right?
Yes.
What are you doing here?
Ms. Bae.
He's new to the marketing team.
Hello. I'm Kang Maru.
It's nice to meet you all.
Please help him get adjusted.
Yes, ma'am.
All right.
Welcome, Mr. Kang.
Say hello to each other.
Please train him, Ms. Choi.
Sure.
Welcome, Mr. Kang.
We finally got a new employee here.
You have experience working at the wine bar I hear?
Yes.
I will do my best to help you out.
Is Maru your real name?
Cool name.
Can I at least get the phone number of
the person who matched my DNA please?
Like I told you yesterday,
they need a little more time.
Then let me at least talk to them.
I just have one question to ask.
I'm sorry.
I can't give out the number without their consent.
Then why did they change their minds?
Well...
All right.
Please tell them this.
I won't meet them even if they call me.
Tell them to enjoy their lives.
I'm sorry.
Please discard my DNA that I registered.
Okay, it's over now.
I will go on with my life now.
It doesn't matter.
Get it together, Bom.
Ms. Oh.
You don't look so well.
I'm fine.
You have a fever.
You're coughing, too.
Let's go see a doctor.
I'm fine, Mr. An.
Ms. Choi got a wrong idea about us
because you are too kind to me.
I will apologize to you on behalf of Ms. Choi.
I'll make sure people don't get the wrong idea.
Please be wary of that as well.
Ms. Oh! What are you doing there?
The wine jars are so dusty.
Wiping them clean would make them look good.
That's true, but
why are you doing something you weren't told?
It's cold out here.
Come inside.
Let me finish this up first.
Yes, I'm over it now.
I won't ever think about
my birth parents who abandoned me.
I've lived my life well so far without them,
and I will live fine from now on, too.
Mr. Kang, I need to talk to you.
All right.
(Oh Bom)
I'll cut to the chase.
You like Oh Bom, right?
Bom and I are dating now.
Since you guys are dating each other,
you should know what kind of a girl she is.
Did you know that she was adopted?
Maybe it's because she was scolded a lot at home,
but she's so conniving.
What's your point?
You have similar backgrounds so you like her,
but don't let dating a girl like her ruin your life.
Don't talk about Bom like that.
I've seen some things.
I'm worried that she may flirt with Taeho.
I heard that you two are getting engaged.
You can't trust him?
It's not that I can't trust Taeho.
It's because I know what a conniving person Bom is.
If she is your girlfriend, make sure
she doesn't cling onto Taeho.
I'll get going now.
I need to go help out at the wine bar.
She was scolded a lot at home?
She said her mom loved her a lot.
(Auntie Partner)
It's so cold.
Bom is working too hard outside in the cold.
What if she gets sick?
I'll go talk to her.
You can't talk her out of it.
Huh?
Mr. Kang, what are you doing here?
I'm from the marketing team of Punggildang.
It's a pleasure to work with you again.
What?
I was able to get in thanks to you two.
It's so great to see you again.
Congratulations.
I'm really surprised.
I will be in charge of overseeing the pub
and the publicity project.
Please help me out.
That's it.
You got in because of your proposal, right?
Mr. An, I'd like to take the publicity project in
a different direction as Master Kim requested.
I will talk to you about it soon.
I think we are in charge of that.
The headquarters want my proposal carried out.
So we'll all discuss it later.
All right.
Then I'll look around the wine bar.
She isn't here either.
Bom.
Bom! Bom!
Bom, wake up.
Bom! Oh Bom!
It's so cold.
What's going on?
Ms. Oh!
What happened, Mr. Kang?
Oh, Ms. Oh.
Mr. An! Mr. An!
Oh no.
Ms. Oh collapsed.
What are you talking about?
Mr. Kang carried Ms. Oh out just now.
She didn't listen to me when I told her
to come in. Oh gee.
You're here, Ms. Bae.
How's everything going?
Well...
Ms. Oh Bom collapsed on the roof
so a staff member took her home.
How sick was she that she collapsed?
Young girls skip meals to go on a diet
and get dizzy all the time.
Why did it have to happen here?
Don't worry about it.
I'll look into it.
Please do so.
I've starved all day running away from Midal.
Midal!
Lee Baedal. Get over here.
How can I when you're holding that pan?
Explain about what you told me.
You got caught with a woman, got embarrassed,
and lied to about getting married, right?
I'm serious.
Here's our marriage license.
See?
What is this?
Registration of Marriage.
Choi Jeongmi.
How old is she?
You married an old hag?
Don't say that about my wife.
Stop with the nonsense and lead the way.
Lead the way!
What are you doing?
Lead the way where? Why?
- Come on./ - Come here.
Is this really where she lives?
Yes.
Oh my.
Did you get married to her
because a rich woman fell for you?
Oh gee.
She's a guest in this house.
She doesn't have any money saved up.
She and I are in the same situation.
That's not something to brag about.
Midal. Midal!
Hello. Open the door.
Please don't do this.
Midal!
Get that old minx, Choi Jeongmi, out here.
Midal, please.
Don't do this at my in-laws'.
What did you say?
Did you call my daughter an old minx?
Who is she?
I'm sorry. She's my sister.
Geezer widower! Here you are.
You mooched off me before,
and now you're living here?
That was too harsh.
No, it wasn't.
Look.
Your daughter conned my brother into marrying her.
They're married.
What is this?
She got herself into trouble again!
Oh no.
Oh gee.
I told you no so many times.
How did this happen?
I'm sorry, mother.
Can't you just accept me please?
Mother? How am I your mother?
Jeongmi, what was she thinking?
Oh no.
Jeongmi. Jeongmi.
Are you all right?
Oh, my knees. My knees.
Oh, no...
It was you?
You're the one who seduced my brother?
I can't permit this marriage!
Oh!
Midal!
You just crossed the line here.
What's so great about a man who asked for
my daughter with just $2,400 in his account?
It's us who should be opposing this marriage.
Go get it annulled.
Mom!
What's going on?
Ma'am?
You're the one who took the kids that
I fed and provided for from the pub.
Hello.
Ma'am. I mean, hey lady.
You took those kids from our house
without paying for the money I spent on them.
And now you're taking my brother?
I don't know what's going on,
but it's rude of you to come here like this.
You should go back home,
come back when you're calm,
and we'll talk quietly about this.
Look at you on your high horse!
I'm upset that you took my brother from me.
Those two are the ones who should resolve this.
Your brother and Jeongmi aren't young kids.
Yes, that sounds good.
Gukhui, I'm sorry.
Look at you being servile to your rich wife.
Don't become like him by
marrying her.
Go get this marriage annulled!
You can't leave like that.
I'm sorry for the commotion.
It's all my fault.
Baedal!
Come here.
Why are you doing this to me?
I will decide whether I live with him or not.
Put me down.
I'm fine.
You can be stubborn when you're healthy.
I can walk.
Just stay put.
Lie down.
It's not a big deal. Come on.
The doctor said that you have to rest.
That's what all doctors say.
Take good care of yourself, Bom.
You're not a machine.
Completely rest when you're resting,
and live your life well.
What did I do that was so wrong in my life?
Who works as hard as I do?
I worked every day without a day off
and finally became an intern.
I've made rice wine until my hands got blisters,
but I never complained once.
I know you work hard.
I'm doing well in my life,
and my parents don't want to meet me.
Bom.
Forget it.
I don't want to see you either.
I don't need this.
Throw this away on your way out.
Calm down, Bom.
Are they disrespecting me because I'm poor?
She thinks she's such a better person
than I am? Ha!
Bom.
I know you're hurt, but don't be like this.
How do you know how I feel?
You don't know what it feels like to be abandoned.
You think I don't know?
I...
We left our parents just a little sooner than most.
That's all.
I don't want to blame them and say I'm unhappy.
I know, but...
Bom, you're home?
Why are you home so early?
Did you skip work today?
I'm here for you.
What do you think you're doing?
