[Episode 29] Bom, you're a courageous person.
I don't know what's wrong,
but cheer up.
I will.
Stop crying.
You, two. What are you doing?
Aran.
Ms. Choi.
What are you doing here with Taeho?
What?
What are you doing in his arms?
What's wrong with you?
Bom didn't do anything.
Is this who you really are?
You flirt with any man around you?
Don't you think that's too harsh?
Everything in my life has gone awry
since you came here.
The company, my dad, and my mom.
Why are you treating me this way?
You think you can push me around?
You decide everything on your own and
treat me like I'm nothing?
You get on my nerves.
Choi Aran, stop.
You're making a mistake.
I checked the hall
and marked it in the maintenance record.
All right. Good work.
About opening the pub...
Let's talk tomorrow.
Did something happen?
Did Ms. Choi say something to you again?
I don't know why she treats me this way.
I don't know
what went wrong between us.
Tell me what she said.
Aran, what's wrong with you?
How could you treat Bom that way?
Again!
Stop talking about her!
I know you're having a hard time.
But you can't blame her for something
she didn't do.
I'm worried.
About what?
What are you worried about?
I don't know.
She just makes me nervous.
Aran.
Everything has gone wrong in my life.
I was pushed aside at work,
I lost my mom's trust,
everything I do at work has problems,
I got the worst evaluation,
and the staff members don't think much of me.
Why do you think that?
Look at what happened to me
because of that part-time employee, Bom.
Why do you hate her so much?
Mom will only listen to her.
She doesn't believe what I say anymore.
Aran.
Don't blame everything on Ms. Oh.
You're feeling this way all because of yourself!
Even you are taking her side?
Stop.
Get a grip, Aran.
Are you really this weak?
I don't know.
It feels like everything is her fault.
That's why I gave her money to leave.
She didn't ask for it.
I just gave it to her.
That's why I am even more ashamed.
I don't seem to be all that strong
and that really hurts my ego.
I know I'm being immature.
But I can't help but feel this way.
Aran.
At least I'm here for you.
So, what?
What can you do for me?
You should go.
It's cold.
I really don't want to go home today.
Imagine how tough it must've been for her
that she accepted that money.
She had no choice because
the landlord asked for more deposit money.
You don't think I know that?
I know that, and it makes me even more upset.
I am no help to my mom,
and I get pushed around at work.
I feel sorry for myself.
Since when do you get so discouraged?
Of course I want to be proud all the time.
But I can't because I have no money.
By the way, I said I would take care of it,
but how am I going to pay Ms. Choi back?
Don't worry.
I'm here for you.
You and I are both broke.
But thanks for saying that.
Sharing concerns do reduce the burden
but that burden has gone to you.
I'm sorry.
What's there to apologize between friends?
Go on in.
All right.
I'll go in first today.
Bom.
Yes?
Good night.
Get home safely.
I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight.
I know I was blinded by greed for a second
and accepted that money,
but how could Bom treat me that way?
Either way it was your fault.
Why did you accept money
without knowing why?
She came in here,
handed me cash in brand new bills
and begged me to take it.
Who wouldn't accept that?
Who knew whether that money was
for comfort, bribery or to stay quiet?
Isn't it obvious?
Let's say I knew it was dirty money.
Why shouldn't I accept it?
She was offering that money
because she wronged Bom somehow.
She was offering it because she felt bad.
Why wouldn't I accept it?
Hey!
I'm not done talking yet.
Where are you going?
There's nothing more to say.
Just apologize to Bom and
give that money back.
I can't give back what I don't have.
I really don't have it.
I didn't spend it for my own sake.
I spent it for the restaurant deposit,
so that I could take care of her.
My mom
worked very hard all her life.
She couldn't resist the temptation
of such a large amount of money.
Then you should accept this money
for your mom who has worked so hard.
But I can't make my mom happy
with this dirty money.
Aran.
How did you become such a terrible person?
Why are you going as far as
hurting a girl like Bom to deceive me?
How will I explain it to mom?
Mom.
What? You have something to say?
Aran.
How should I deal with this?
You say that I am strict and cold to you,
but I have no choice.
You are all I have.
I have such high hopes in you,
and that's why it upsets me even more.
You must show basic etiquette,
but you seek after your greed only.
I'm so worried about you.
If you go down the wrong path,
what will happen to Punggildang?
That's right.
You know my dream is Punggildang.
Yes, I know.
But why do you keep disappointing me?
You're not the only one at the company.
The higher you go,
you must care for other people
and listen to what they say.
Aran.
No matter what you do,
I am your mother.
No matter how much you lie to me
and hurt my feelings,
I have no choice but to endure it.
Because I taught and raised you.
But my forgiveness isn't enough
when you hurt other people.
That's what upsets me even more.
It hurts me to see my own daughter
disliked by other people.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
Aran.
You're up.
What are you doing?
Is there something you want to eat?
I'm preparing breakfast for everyone.
You're busy enough getting ready for work.
Leave this to me
and go get ready.
Is this enough water?
What? Yes.
You're up.
Aran is preparing breakfast.
Really?
But do you have enough time?
The soup is ready, and
all I have to do is make the rice.
Oh, mom.
Do you remember the sausage I cooked
with egg when I was in elementary school?
Yes, it was good.
I'll cook it for you again today.
Oh, that's right.
Dad, you didn't eat it, right?
Oh, you couldn't.
I'm sorry.
What?
What's going on?
All right. All is well.
Didn't I tell you?
Children are like glue
between a married couple.
Aran is doing her job as the bridge
between her mom and dad.
I don't know how they feel inside,
but they look like a family.
I'm so hungry this morning.
Be quiet.
What?
Shh! Shh!
What is it?
Don't ruin it.
Be quiet.
Aran, your dad and her mom
are in the kitchen...
What is it?
Aran is arguing with her mom again?
Is that what you want?
Wow.
I knew something has been going on for days.
She is more conniving than I am.
She doesn't listen to her parents at all.
She talks back to her mom
when she hears something she doesn't want to
and disregards dad.
That's true.
If my mom is watching us from heaven,
she would realize what a good daughter I was.
I may get bad grades, but
I never talked back to my mom.
Don't talk about your dead mother
so early in the morning.
I'm so hungry.
Let's go eat.
Stay here.
The other child shouldn't ruin that.
I told you not to call me that.
That's right, mom.
Even Gukhui has accepted her as family.
Don't call her the other child.
Are you penalizing me with silence?
If you're mad at me,
you should yell at me.
Don't suffocate me with silence.
Forget it.
Fine. I'll pay it back.
How?
I will find a way.
I asked you for $100 yesterday, and
you said you have absolutely no money.
I didn't say I'd pay it back right now.
I'll pay it back slowly whenever I can.
She gave it to us freely,
so I'll pay it back freely whenever I can.
Wow, you're incorrigible.
You spent someone else's money
and will pay it back on your own time?
Who is she to try to control
my daughter with money?
So you knew it was dirty money?
That's why money is the problem.
I wouldn't have accepted it if I didn't need it.
I'll take care of it myself.
How can you take care of it?
Really?
You'll take care of it yourself?
You're going to pass on the burden to Bom?
I didn't mean that.
Once Bom says she'll take care of it
I'll find my own way to do so as well.
Maru, I want to thank you for taking good care
of grandma, Jia and Aran.
I heard that you work hard at the pub, too.
I do my best not to burden anyone.
I've been telling you to prepare for
studying abroad but never helped you.
What is this?
It's for tuition and living expenses.
It may not be a lot,
but it'll be enough for you to study.
Thank you.
What should I say?
Should I yell at him for
not keeping his promise of
going on a date with me three times?
Oh, gee!
Jeongmi! When did you become so needy?
You're crazy. Crazy.
What are you talking to yourself about?
Nothing.
I have something to tell you.
Don't.
I have enough on my mind right now.
Well then I guess I won't tell you.
It's all for your mind and body.
You want me to beat your mind and body?
Get out. Get out.
You'll regret it later.
Get out.
Oh, gee!
Things must've gone awry with Baedal.
I'm sure of it.
I moved into my son's house,
and I am still lonely.
My hair has turned gray but
there is no one to dye my hair.
Jia, can you dye my hair?
Go get it done at a hair salon.
It doesn't cost much.
I've moved in with your poor dad.
I can't spend money on my hair.
I have to go to school.
Really?
Then could you tell that nice man to come?
He seemed unwilling to leave yesterday and
asked if he could come back tomorrow.
Do you know why he's so nice to you?
He said I'm like an older sister to him.
He seems to be a kind, young man
who knows how to respect the elderly.
How frustrating.
Why is everyone so blind?
Is that so?
Then I'll give him a call.
Okay.
Baedal.
What? Grandma is asking for me?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Sis, I have to run some errands.
I told you to look after the restaurant
during business hours no matter what.
I'll be right back.
I'm off to make you a sister-in-law.
Wait...
What is he up to now?
He can't even take care of himself
and which lady is he after to struggle with him?
Hello, sis.
I'm here.
Don't call me your older sister.
Just call me mom.
Then I'll call you mother.
Oh, my!
Oh, you're sweating.
Oh, my!
You must've missed me so much that
you ran all the way here.
Of course.
I heard that you asked for me.
I sprinted all the way here.
You did?
Then can you help me dye my hair?
This?
Mother.
How did you know this was my specialty?
Really?
I'll do it for you, mother.
Okay.
I'm a professional.
I'm done.
How do I look?
Did it come out nicely?
Yes. You look so beautiful.
Do I?
Hand me a mirror.
You look 20 years younger.
I asked for a mirror.
Why won't you give it to me?
What happened?
What did you do to my hair?
Oh, no!
You don't like it?
What am I going to do?
Oh, no! Oh, no!
It's my fault for trusting you
with my hair.
Oh, no.
Please don't be mad, mother.
I swear on my life that I will
get your hair back to the way it was.
Go away. Go away.
I don't want to look at you.
Go. Go.
Mother.
I will get it back to the way it was.
Leave.
All right.
Oh, gee.
Where is he?
Look.
It's you, right?
What?
Last time you sat there drinking alone
and left without paying.
What are you talking about?
This is my first time here.
It's not your first time.
I've been doing this business for 30 years.
I may not remember
my dead husband's butt,
but I don't ever forget
those who don't pay for their drinks.
It's really not me.
I know it's you.
Don't try to run away again.
You ate two dishes, rice wine and soju.
You owe me $38.
You got the wrong person.
You're back again.
You're here to pay for the unpaid bill?
See? He recognizes you, too.
Give me my money!
What's wrong with the both of you?
I never ran away without paying the bill.
You got the wrong person.
Stop right there.
Oh, my! Oh, my!
Pay for the alcohol and
the soup you had today.
Let me go.
Not until you pay me.
There is not a single customer here
who has run away from me without paying.
Pay the bill.
Let go of me.
Oh, I sprained my neck.
Call an ambulance.
Oh, my neck.
Now you're acting like you're hurt?
Oh, gee.
911.
Oh, my neck.
Call 911. 911.
She's a fraud.
It's not worth meddling with her.
Oh, gee!
I came to see him and
almost got caught.
I know Suho is hiding something.
He's acting like he's all mature now.
Who knows what will happen next?
Look at me.
I'm going through my son's drawers
and tailing after my husband.
What happened to my life?
I was once a manager of
a popular boutique in Gangnam
and had those rich women
under my control.
Now I'm always worrying about my sons
and intimidated by my husband.
Oh, gee.
You're home.
Where are the kids?
You know.
Women like me who are
neglected by their husbands
and lonely after their children grow up
often get depressed.
That nest...
Some kind of nest syndrome.
Not a nest syndrome.
An empty-nest syndrome.
Yes, that.
Nest, empty-nest.
Milk coffee or cafe au lait...
What if something happens to me?
There's only one way to treat it.
Honey. Honey.
It's a serious disease.
What if something
happens to me?
You're healthy enough.
Let's go to sleep.
- But... / - I'm tired.
It's not time to sleep.
We need to talk.
Honey.
Honey!
I'm tired.
Honey, are you asleep?
I'm not going to attack you or anything.
Oh, darn!
This is bad!
What? It tastes strange?
It's not bad,
but it's lacking something.
I don't what I'm missing here.
You're being too sensitive.
The other staff members said it tasted good.
Is that so?
Maybe I had such high expectations
that this doesn't taste great.
When you get into something
you get immersed in it.
I guess it's better than
being upset about money.
I can't stay depressed forever.
I'm going to focus on looking for the master
and forget that money problem.
To be honest looking for the master
isn't your main job.
It's not mandatory for you to find him.
You're busy working here and looking for him.
You look really tired.
You stayed up all night looking up information?
It's my first job on the distilling team.
I really want to find him.
I've been trying to be nice to you two,
but you seem to be incompetent.
How hard is it to find one person?
Stop searching the internet and
make phone calls to people
who used to work at our distillery.
We did make the calls already.
They all said they lost touch with him.
Then find some other way.
Stop saying that you can't find him.
Hi.
I have great news.
Master Kim travels around seasonally
to find the perfect place to make rice wine.
That's why he doesn't stay in one place.
In March he makes azaleas wine
in Mount Yeongchi of Yeosu.
When pear flowers bloom
he makes pear wine in Naju.
Before the winter solstice
he is where a popular pond is located...
Before the winter solstice?
Today is December 10th...
Right here.
Yes. This is where he is.
Ms. Oh.
Mr. An.
I'm sorry about last night.
I don't know what to say to you.
I always seem to be hurting you.
Mr. An.
It'll never happen again.
That first task on the distilling team.
I think I found the answer.
I think I found Master Kim who used
to work at Punggildang with the CEO.
Really?
I would like to go see him right now.
Is it okay to leave?
Why don't I join you?
(Making rice wine. Even ghosts, do not enter)
Master!
Oh, darn!
Go away!
Please open the door.
Be quiet!
Can't you read the sign?
He has such temper.
Aran!
Taeho, did your dad tell you?
What are you doing here, Oh Bom?
I heard that Master Kim was here.
You're working with an intern on this?
She found out that he was here.
I don't think we'll be able to see him today.
Look.
(Making rice wine. Even ghosts, do not enter)
I did read that on days he makes rice wine
he doesn't let anyone in
in order to be careful and virtuous.
But we traveled a long way here.
Let's at least say hello.
Sir!
It's useless.
Please let us say hello.
Sir!
We're from Punggildang.
Leave!
Can't you read?
Can't you read this sign?
Even ghosts aren't allowed to come in.
How dare you try to enter!
I'm sorry.
We're from Punggildang.
We'd really like to talk to you.
I won't talk to anyone today so
leave right this moment!
Sir.
(Making rice wine. Even ghosts, do not enter)
I told you it's no use.
That's why he was fired from Punggildang.
It's no use.
Now that we know he is here
we'll come another day.
You two should go back.
I'm going to wait a little longer.
Look, Oh Bom.
Don't stick around and get on his nerves.
Just go back with us.
It would be great to say hello to him
once he is done making rice wine
and opens the door.
I don't know why you're so persistent,
but you saying hello to him isn't so crucial.
That's right.
We don't know how long the wait will be.
Let's go back.
Let me wait at least until the sun sets.
I won't hurt Punggildang's reputation.
You're not coming, Taeho?
Bom, if anything happens
give me a call.
Did everything go well?
We did find the master, but
we didn't get to talk to him.
I see.
Where's Bom?
Oh...
She wanted to wait a little longer.
You left her there by herself?
She just called and said she's on her way back.
Don't worry.
It's a good thing I lied to Mr. An.
He would get worried
if he knew I was still here.
My phone battery died since it's so cold.
Oh, it's cold. It's cold.
The phone has been turned off...
She wouldn't go all the way there
and return without talking to him.
Oh, it's cold.
No, I'm not cold at all.
Oh, it's breezy!
Oh Bom!
Maru.
What are you doing here?
Making rice wine is all about waiting.
Those who wait patiently
can make good-tasting wine.
I thought maybe if the master saw that
I'd been waiting for him all this time
he would say hello to me.
That's why?
How long do you plan on waiting here?
I've waited thus far. Just a little more.
It's nice.
I can smell the rice wine from here.
My nose is stuffed up.
Hello.
What are you two doing here?
Hello.
Oh, darn!
I don't want to bury you in the cold.
Get warmed up here
and take the first train back home tomorrow.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
You're completely frozen.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Wrap it around yourself, too.
