Episode 44
Excuse me, sir.
Wake up, sir.
Sir!
Open your eyes, sir.
Open your eyes!
Sir!
Sir.
Wake up. Sir!
Please help!
Somebody help me!
Is anyone there?
Please help me!
Open your eyes.
Wake up.
(Missing Child)
They found Paran?
Ms. Bae...
Is something wrong?
(Confirmation of DNA Registration)
Confirmation of DNA Registration.
This is the same as the authentic one, right?
(Confirmation of DNA Registration)
It'll all be over once I show them this.
What happened?
He was in the car for a long time,
but he won't wake up.
Wake up, sir.
Do you hear me?
Sir.
Please wake up.
Dad.
What's wrong, dad?
Dad, wake up.
Dad, what's wrong?
Are you his family?
Miss, are you his family?
No, I just know him.
Then please call his family.
I will.
(Wife)
Please answer.
Maru, you're lucky.
You get to work with Ms. Oh.
Congratulations.
But be careful about dating at work.
Make sure you focus on your job first.
I'll work hard.
I'll make sure your concern doesn't come true.
But Mr. An and Ms. Choi need to get married first.
When are you planning to get married?
Shouldn't we sing at the wedding as a team?
Of course.
Give me last quarter's business performance chart.
All right.
Yes, dad.
Your father collapsed.
Please come to the hospital.
My dad?
Which hospital is it?
Is something wrong?
Are you awake now?
Do you recognize me?
Where am I?
We're at the hospital.
I thought you were seriously ill!
What happened to me?
You were asleep in your car.
Don't ever do that again.
I'm fine, so please don't cry.
I'm not a good enough person for you to cry over.
So please stop crying.
Don't say that.
I must've scared you a lot.
(Emergency Medical Center)
Dad!
Ms. Oh...
Mr. An.
Are you all right, dad?
What are you doing here?
You made a big deal over nothing.
Ms. Oh, what happened?
He lost his consciousness in his car.
I was drunk and meant to sleep just for a moment.
That's so dangerous.
You could've suffocated.
I know.
If it weren't for this young lady here...
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Honey, honey, honey...
Honey, honey. Honey.
Mom.
Are you all right?
I heard you lost consciousness.
What happened?
I'm fine.
Are you really okay?
I was so scared something happened to you.
Calm down now.
I'm sorry for nagging at you for ignoring me.
Thank you so much for being alive.
Calm down.
He's okay now.
I thought my world had come to an end.
On my cab ride over here, I swore I'd follow you
to the heavens, if anything happened to you.
Don't be ridiculous.
Did that young lady leave?
I didn't get to thank her properly.
What young lady?
An employee brought dad here.
He wouldn't be here if it weren't for her.
I'm so grateful to her.
How can I repay her?
Nothing I do would ever be enough.
I'll tell her to come say hello.
Don't ever die and leave me alone, okay?
All right.
I won't go anywhere without you,
so don't worry.
Promise?
Taeho is watching.
Promise me.
It's nice to see the entire family here together,
but I feel a bit empty inside.
You must miss Jeongmi,
but don't worry too much about her.
Don't talk about her.
If you saw those two in-laws arguing here...
It was a sight you'd never forget.
Who are you talking about?
Jeongmi's sister-in-law and
Aran's future mother-in-law.
I heard that Aran's mother-in-law's son
has a fiance, but had an affair.
Do you know anything about that?
Her son would mean...
You must've heard wrong, grandma.
Right.
Aran's boyfriend wouldn't do such a thing.
I guess.
She said it's her younger son.
I don't know much about kids' romance,
but you must always be careful of men.
Taeho's younger brother is a troublemaker.
It's wise to always be careful.
Players don't label themselves as players.
Mother.
Don't say that to Aran.
Aran, don't trust your fiance too much.
People can be most conniving.
They change the minds in a heartbeat.
I'll keep that in mind.
I'm home.
Maru, you're home.
Don't tell my family about me and Taeho.
I have no interest in your romance problem.
Good.
Let's stay out of each other's life.
I will keep Taeho by my side somehow
so you do the same with Oh Bom.
That's what we both want.
You prepare breakfast from now on.
My day and night were switched while
working as an instructor.
I sleep in quite late.
Can I skip preparing breakfast?
Yeah, Midal.
You should see how adorably lovable
she is when she's sleeping in.
I'll prepare breakfast instead.
Don't be ridiculous.
Oh gee.
You've been blinded by love.
I'll do it if you ask me to, Midal.
We always eat rice, soup,
and three new side dishes in the morning.
Don't ever order delivery food again, okay?
Okay?
Okay.
But Midal.
Is there a point to designating who cooks?
Anyone who can cook or has time
can help each other and prepare breakfast.
Wouldn't that make all of us get closer
and be a true family?
Are you going to argue with everything I say?
I'm home.
My niece, you're home.
It was a hard day, right?
I hear that you do all the housework,
and you're the actual head of the household.
No, I'm not. I have mom and Uncle Baedal.
You are so humble.
That's hard to find in this family.
If you need any help at work,
just let me know.
Ha! What can you do for her?
I'm like a sister to the CEO of Punggildang.
You don't think I can help my niece?
Thank you for the offer.
She doesn't say anything she doesn't mean.
You'll need her help one day, Bom.
Just like how I turned my life around thanks to her.
Oh gee.
I'll look forward to it.
Sure.
(Confirmation of DNA Registration)
Oops, I brought this with me.
DNA Registration: Choi Jeonggi.
I don't think it's his.
Try it.
It's so amazing!
I'm not done yet.
Why are you continuing to put in something?
Oh, this?
It's a magical powder.
A magical powder?
It's going to get me out of this kitchen.
I'll do it, honey.
Stay put and keep your dignity.
It's not much, but I made it with love.
Enjoy.
It really isn't much.
Look at this.
Mixed spinach, radish greens and spinach soup?
Ha! Did you cook only vegetables on purpose?
Oh, I didn't mean to.
I don't care. Let's eat.
What's this?
Aunt Jeongmi!
What's wrong?
Does it taste weird?
It tastes perfect to me.
Bom, you don't like it?
It tastes all right to me.
You and I have the same taste in food,
your doe-eyed with a pert nose just like me.
We sort of look alike.
You're the best, Bom.
Why aren't you eating?
Me?
I smelled food all morning while cooking
and lost my appetite.
This is a problem.
My taste is so different from yours that
I don't think I should cook for you anymore.
You don't have to cater to our taste.
The person who cooks is in charge.
You go ahead and cook with your taste.
Is that okay?
Yes.
You'll get better as time passes by.
Please cook dinner tonight as well.
Oh, so this suits your taste?
Go ahead and eat.
Eat, eat.
I don't want to have soup.
Oh gee.
Why do you insist that I stay in the hospital?
You should rest longer since you're here.
It's a great chance to get a check up, too.
Rest.
You worked hard as Ms. Bae's slave.
Don't say that.
Shouldn't you thank the staff who saved you?
She saved both of our lives.
I'll go to work and thank her again.
Good idea.
Get an expensive gift, okay?
Hello.
Good morning.
What are you doing here?
Ms. Oh Bom.
She's the one who saved my life.
You?
I came by to see how he was doing.
How are you? Are you feeling better?
Yes, thanks to you.
That's enough, miss.
He's sick so let's not bother him.
I need to talk to you.
I'm not sick.
And this...
Let's go.
Take care, sir.
All right. Thank you.
I don't know what God has planned for us.
How could this happen?
Don't try to use this to get with Taeho.
All right?
This has nothing to do with Mr. An.
I'm glad he is all right.
Oh gee.
Look at you talking back to me.
Mother.
Good-bye.
Ms. Oh...
Mom, she's the one who saved dad.
So what?
I said a word to her so
she doesn't take this chance to
get involved with our family.
That's too harsh.
Auntie.
What are you doing here?
I have business matters here today.
It's great to see you here.
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see you again
when I left the pub.
Really?
We may see each other more often now.
That would be great.
If you haven't eaten yet, will you join me?
Hmm...
I brought meat patties to celebrate working at HQ.
Okay then.
If you wait for me in the break room,
I'll bring my lunch box.
Try this.
This is my mom's signature dish.
It's good.
It's so great to be eating lunch with you.
I've been wanting to talk to someone.
Why? Is something wrong?
This and that.
Tell me if you have any concerns.
The least I can do is hearing you out.
I've been hiding this,
but I'm really intimidated.
Everyone here has more education than I do,
my boss is hard to approach,
and there was a misunderstanding...
I'm telling you too much.
You'll do well.
You're right.
I worked hard to come to the headquarters.
I'm going to work hard.
Yes, cheer up.
Okay. I can do it!
You should've returned to the office
after you were done at the warehouse.
How dare you go home without reporting to me!
Something happened on the way back.
Something happened?
I didn't send you to do your personal matters.
If you're going to work like this,
go back to the wine bar
or quit your job.
I'm sorry.
What happened?
Actually... Ms. Oh called me last night to make
a report, but Ms. Choi wasn't here...
Mr. Jang, are you taking Oh Bom's side?
Ms. Oh, don't be cocky about coming here
through special recruit and go out
and learn your job thoroughly on your own.
I'll work hard to live up to your expectations.
The newcomer training is quite harsh.
This is Choi Aran.
Yes.
The additional rice we signed the contract for?
All right.
I'll send a staff over right away.
Ms. Oh, there's no need to sit.
Our plant is asking for rice to make
limited edition rice wine so go deliver rice.
All right.
Shouldn't the logistics team be in charge of that?
Why are they calling us about it?
Who cares who does the job?
Anyone can do it when it's urgent.
I'll go get it done.
Oh no.
Ms. Choi really hates Ms. Oh.
Is she still angry about the blogger issue?
Working here is hell
when Ms. Choi decides to dislike you.
I know. Poor Ms. Oh.
By the way, how is that small, skinny girl
going to work at the rice mill alone?
Oh gee.
Is there a problem with Bom?
Aha! You can go help her out.
I'll give you a pass to go out.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Bom.
Maru.
I'll come with you.
She's still my daughter.
I should at least go see how she's doing.
It should be around here.
Isn't that Jeongmi?
Yes, losing is winning.
I'll sacrifice myself for Baedal.
What?
What are you doing?
I didn't tell you to do this.
A married woman must do chores around the house.
You didn't seem to like what I cooked so
I'm doing laundry until my body breaks down.
Are you doing this to say I was mean to you?
No way.
You and I must get along
so that Baedal can be at ease,
which would bring peace to the family.
Ha!
I'll finish doing the laundry,
vacuum the floor and
mop the floor
so go work at the pub.
Don't worry about me.
Go, Midal.
You're up to something, right?
Look at that.
She's working like a slave here.
Oh no.
I can't drag her home.
What am I going to do?
Jeongmi!
Mom! What are you doing here?
You fool.
Why did you get yourself into this?
Did you get married to do all these chores?
I'm fine here.
I'm starting to enjoy doing chores.
Let's go.
Come home with me.
A marriage license doesn't mean much.
You don't have to shackled like this!
Let's go.
What do you mean?
I won't go.
I'm going to die here.
You said that last time, too.
I can't watch you live like this,
so let's go.
I left the spinach...
What are you doing here?
How can you be so cruel?
I know you don't like her because she's old,
but how could you slave her like this?
What do you mean I slaved her?
Listen to me.
You said warranty is over
so I should take her and teach her.
This is a good way to learning how to do chores.
My daughter isn't a machine.
What warranty are you talking about?
Don't yell at my sister-in-law, mom.
What?
How dare you take her side!
Fine.
You enjoy your life after breaking my heart.
Oh gee.
Jeonggi.
What are we going to do?
Poor Jeongmi.
Go get Jeonggi back or
tell them not to slave her like that.
Go do something.
Don't worry too much.
Jeongmi will be fine.
She's not fine.
She's doing laundry in this cold weather.
She has never even wash her own underwear
and look at her now.
Mother.
Jeongmi isn't a child.
She knew what she was getting into.
Yes, she did this to herself.
But she's still my child.
I can't watch her struggle like that.
Yes, children are children forever.
Yes.
Children are parents' karma.
You should know.
That's why you can't let your Paran go.
I don't know if we made the right decision.
You broke your sister's heart,
and I broke my mother's heart.
What are we doing?
Come on.
All we need to do is live happily together.
Us being happy isn't enough.
The entire family must be happy.
Us being happy isn't enough.
I know I married the perfect woman.
Look at how thoughtful you are.
Do you want to look at my photo albums?
Look.
Pictures throughout my life are in here.
Look.
How cute.
You were quite handsome when you were young.
What about now?
I married you because of your good looks.
When was this?
Wait.
When was this?
Who is this?
This is Bom.
She moved in with us around this time.
She was so pretty and cute back then, too.
Wait. What did you just say?
Bom moved in with you around this time?
What? Well...
Actually, Bom isn't Midal's daughter.
What do you mean?
I don't want to get into details about that.
Please be nice to Bom.
She's had a rough life.
So Bom grew up under a stepmother?
Oh, Bom.
Why do you need the rice in such a rush?
You should've given me advanced notice.
We're trying to make enough rice wine before
the holidays. I'm sorry.
After we make good-tasting wine with this rice,
I'll bring a bottle for you.
At least you say sweet things.
Thank you very much.
You can't go to work right after being discharged!
Everyone is busy at work.
I can't rest at home over nothing.
You are always putting work first.
It's so upsetting.
Don't call me
if you collapse next time.
Oh gee!
Dad, why don't you rest one more day?
I'm fine.
Go calm your mother down.
Both of them are taking turns to upset me.
My heart is broken into pieces.
Don't worry too much about him.
I'll take care of him at work.
I reserved a place for your engagement.
I told you I broke up with Aran.
No, you didn't!
You are going to get engaged to Aran as planned
and that's that.
I won't change my mind, mother.
I will not get engaged to Aran.
What are you talking about?
Honey...
Not get engaged?
Is there a problem between you two?
Honey, you see...
They must've argued a little.
Couples often fight before a big event.
Aran and I broke up.
Taeho.
What? Broke up?
Yes, I have feelings for someone else.
And you broke up because of that?
You fool.
I'm sorry.
Snap out of it, and put an end to it.
I can't do that.
I will tell Aran's parents soon and...
Oh, no!
Honey.
Taeho.
Apologize to your father now.
Honey, you see...
There is a girl who's hitting on Taeho at work...
I've made myself clear.
Don't be a fool.
Taeho.
Why did Oh Bom and Kang Maru take
the truck that's scheduled to go into maintenance?
It'd be terrible if the truck breaks down.
They can use that as an excuse to date.
Is that so?
Hello, Mr. An.
How's your father?
He's fine. Thank you.
Where's Mr. Kang?
Oh! You weren't here so
I gave him the permission to go out.
Ms. Oh Bom had to go to the rice-polishing mill
so I sent Mr. Kang with her.
Mr. Kang went with Ms. Oh?
What's wrong with the truck?
The truck must be frozen from the weather.
Should I give it a try?
No.
Oh, there we go.
What's wrong with the truck?
Hold on.
I need to deliver the rice to the plant.
There's nothing wrong with the tires.
Oh, the battery.
The battery is completely dead.
What are we going to do?
Were Punggildang staff members here?
They left already.
They should've arrived at the plant by now.
All right.
Good-bye.
Why won't she answer her phone?
(Mr. An)
It's cold. Go inside.
The car is colder without the heater.
When is the insurance company getting here?
There's lots of traffic around this time of year.
I'm going to freeze to death.
You'll feel better soon.
