[Episode 34] Oh Bom.
I came here because I have something to say.
Is it okay for me to have feelings for you?
What are you talking about?
Do you have time for this?
I'm going to stay by your side.
I'm not in the mood to joke around.
I'm not joking around.
I have something to tell you.
Tell me what?
You're always acting on your own.
Tell me then.
Shouldn't you be at the airport right now?
I said I'm not going.
Why aren't you going?
You wanted to finish your studies.
Is it because of money?
Did you pay off my debt with your tuition?
No, not at all.
Don't lie to me.
Then where did you get all that money?
I can afford that much.
I know that both of us are broke.
Who do you think I am?
I'm not broke.
I have so many things.
I have a dream, hope,
family, and I have you.
Don't try to change the subject.
I'm serious.
It makes me angry that you paid off my debt
without telling me,
and it bothers me that you showed up here
when you're supposed to be at the airport.
And...
I'm worried that we may not be friends again.
Why are you worried about that?
We are already friends.
Then why did you leave without a goodbye?
That's why I came back.
Stop it.
I'll pay you back as soon as possible.
All right.
I should stay close to you until you pay me back
so that you can't run away from me.
I won't run away without paying you back.
You'll catch a cold. I'll take you home.
You should go.
What are you going to tell your family?
Don't worry.
I'll just have to kneel down and apologize.
Okay, go get scolded.
Oh Bom.
Let me officially apologize to you.
I am really sorry that you and your family
went through an ordeal because of my mom.
I may not have much now, but I will repay you
for all the sorrow you've been through.
It wasn't your fault,
and it's not something I should forgive.
We were both just unfortunate.
Thank you.
I'm a lucky guy.
After my mom died, I felt like I was all alone.
But you were there for me.
Thanks.
Bom.
Yes?
See you tomorrow.
All right.
Is it okay for me to have feelings for you?
Yes, Kang Maru. I have feelings for you, too.
Bom is too naive and
thinks working hard is enough in life.
She must taste how bitter the world is
so that she would go for Mr. Ma.
I'm home.
Okay.
You're quite busy now that you're an intern.
How much did your salary increase?
I just got home and you bring up money?
We have to pay this month's interest,
so we need to plan our expenses.
We pay 50% each,
so you must not forsake me.
We don't have gold to sell like last month.
Don't worry.
I may starve, but won't fail to pay interest.
Why don't you go on a blind date?
I told you before.
A woman's life begins after she gets married.
If you get married to a great guy,
you can turn around your miserable life
that you got from your dad.
I know a nice man
who is rich and comes from a good family.
The only flaw is that he's a bit old.
Would you like to meet him?
Mom, I'm only 23 years old.
Don't be ridiculous.
What's wrong with being 23?
I already married your dad when I was 23.
You must be up to something
if you're pushing me to do this.
I'm not up to anything.
Let's go to your room.
What is it?
Just go in.
Sit down. Sit down.
What do you think? Isn't it nice?
What's going on, mom?
You would look so pretty if you dress up.
Don't go around wearing a jacket and sneakers.
Dress up and wear this coat.
Mom, I know you have something to tell me.
The last time you bought me clothes,
you told me to pay back dad's interest.
When did I do that?
Let's not talk about the past.
What is it? Tell me.
There's nothing to tell.
This is a gift for you since you became
an intern at Punggildang.
You don't seem to have anything to wear.
I'm always thinking about you, but
you doubt that I'm up to something.
All right.
I'll wear it. Thank you.
But don't ask me to pay more interest.
We each pay half, all right?
All right.
What happened?
Did you miss your flight?
I told you to hurry.
I'm not going to study abroad.
Maru, did something happen?
I thought I was getting rid of him.
I don't believe this.
Don't say that, mom.
Did something happen on the way?
Let's go inside first.
Let's go in and talk.
Good job, Maru.
You can always finish your studies here.
Let's go.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
I should've been more prudent.
I was being too rash.
Is the school not taking you back?
I didn't even contact the school.
I just wanted to run away.
What are you talking about?
Why did you think that?
Did you feel uncomfortable living here?
I wasn't sure if I should live here.
I'm sorry for saying this, but
I'm not family here.
Why are you not family?
You are my son.
I was worried that you might be burdened.
Maru.
Our relationship is quite strange.
But you are still our son.
Children aren't a burden to parents.
They are the reason parents live.
Well...
I came here because of Jia,
but now Jia seems to have settled down.
I felt uncomfortable and sorry that
everyone might feel awkward because of me.
Is that why you were running away?
I'm sorry.
I'm glad you're back.
You shouldn't go abroad with that mind.
I don't know if I need to study abroad.
I used to think studying hard was enough,
but now I need to think about what I want to do.
I promised to support you whether you decide
to study or do something else,
so I will wait for you to decide.
Uncle Baedal, why are you up so early?
The early bird eats a lot.
I must get up early and earn money.
I'm beginning a new life now.
The early bird doesn't eat a lot.
The early bird catches the worm.
Why would it catch worms? To eat, right?
They mean the same, right?
Yes.
I'll cheer for your new beginning.
Go, Uncle Baedal!
You too, Bom!
Let's go!
Go to work.
I'll find out what the problem is.
What's the problem, guys?
Why won't you mature properly?
It's just getting worse.
Stop moving the pots around.
Wine is a living thing, too.
Stop waking it up,
and let it rest.
Stop waking it up?
This one's bubbling and maturing well
while the ones I stir every day are still.
Wine must sleep, too?
Wine must rest, too?
Bom, don't be upset about that friend.
I'll stay by your side.
I'll protect you.
Mr. An, Kang Maru skipped work yesterday
without notice. What should I do?
Shouldn't we fire him to show others
what the consequences of skipping work is?
Let's just wait.
Why don't you just use detergent?
Isn't it cumbersome to clean with flour?
Don't you know pots have breathing holes?
Using detergent will block those holes.
Then the pot becomes useless.
That's why I clean pots with flour.
Bom, is there anything you don't know?
Don't overestimate me.
The master scolds me every day.
How can he not realize what a gem you are?
That's too bad.
Cheer up.
Okay?
Don't mess with me.
Sorry.
Mr. Kang, you didn't come to work yesterday?
I won't let that happen again.
Mr. Kang.
Why don't you work in the administration team
rather than in the kitchen?
What?
We have many reservations and events at
the end of the year so please help out.
All right.
We get many calls for reservations lately,
so make sure you stay by the phone.
Yes, sir.
Is everything going well?
What happened to the wine here?
I threw it all away.
They weren't maturing because of me.
I feel bad, but I threw it all away
to start over.
Do you know what you did wrong?
Do you know why the wine didn't mature?
I should've let the wine ferment
on its own after the final process,
but I kept stirring it and
moving the pots around.
That's why the rice wine didn't mature.
Yes. What is your plan then?
I was too cocky about winning an award
when I couldn't even take care of a few pots.
I will focus on learning the basics from you.
Please teach me.
How cumbersome.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
How is it going at the pub?
I talked to Manager An earlier.
Master Kim has control over the distilling team.
I can expect a better-tasting wine then?
Yes.
This time Ms. Choi did a good job.
They say that intern played a big part in this,
but Aran has great talent in
putting together a business idea.
It won't be easy for Ms. Oh to learn from
Master Kim. I hope she doesn't cry.
I'm afraid that she might get discouraged.
She doesn't qualify to work at our distilling team
if she can't endure that.
That's true.
I'd like to stop by the pub since Master Kim
is there, so please plan it with discretion.
I will, Ms. Bae.
Why didn't I realize how fun it was
to earn money sooner?
Lee Baedal, I'm proud of you.
At this rate, I'll soon be able to buy a house.
Maybe not a house.
I should invest this to make more.
Changsu?
Yes, I'm doing all right.
Investment?
I do have some money,
but I've never invested any money before.
Five times?
If it's such a great investment, why would
you call me instead of investing in it yourself?
What?
Oh, gee.
I can't believe someone's asking you to invest.
You don't have any money to invest.
Yes, sorry.
All right. I'll think about it.
Okay. Bye.
Sis, I have money for an investment.
I have $2,450 in my bank account.
No, actually it's $2,400.
You're bragging about that?
Your friends already got married, had children
and are talking about buying an apartment.
Here you are bragging that you have $2,400.
Oh, gee.
And you plan to get married?
Is it possible in your lifetime?
Oh, gee.
Why are you trying to discourage me?
Where are you off to again?
I don't believe this.
I'm glad you are here.
I was about to call to see how it's going.
Don't worry about that.
First, have some.
Open wide, mother.
How did you know this is my favorite?
Actually, I came to ask you for advice
on how to win Jeongmi's heart.
Really?
There's nothing to it.
Your promise to love her is enough.
My daughter may seem cold on the outside,
but her heart runs deep inside.
No matter how harsh she is to you,
just brush it off and go after her, okay?
It's all about being persistent.
Yes. So I showed her my checkbook in order
to prove that I'd give her my heart.
But she didn't seem too happy.
You even showed her your checkbook?
You're such a great man.
That's enough then.
What better way is there to show your love?
Is it okay to see that checkbook myself?
My checkbook?
Sure.
- Here. / - Okay.
Wait.
How much is it?
One, ten, hundred...
$24,000...
You've only saved up $24,000 all your life?
No, no.
$2,400.
What? $2,400?
I know it isn't enough.
But I'm going to work hard from now on.
Oh, this is so frustrating.
You should have enough to buy a house
if you want to marry my daughter.
Oh, gee.
How can this be?
Go! Leave.
Go.
Mother...
Don't call me mother.
Take this with you.
I don't want to see you ever again.
But mother... But still...
His legs were manly and strong.
Take this and leave this minute.
I'm sorry.
Mom, I'm home.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Kick this man out.
How can you be so foolish to
date a man with only $2,400?
Mom!
How can you say that in front of him?
Get up.
I'm sorry for being so poor.
Being poor isn't a crime.
Don't apologize for it.
I'm sorry that a loser like me loves you.
Love is not a crime, either.
You couldn't help fall in love with this beauty.
I can't stand to watch this.
Take this with you, too.
Taeho gave me an allowance,
so do I need to go work part-time today?
I can skip one day.
You're not going to work?
I don't feel like going today.
Oh, gee.
You didn't go last time because of the rain
and now you don't feel up to it?
Mom, if you go out when you're not up to it,
you just end up getting in the way of others.
Look at you, mom.
Your mood changes like a rollercoaster,
so all of us struggle to keep you happy.
When did you try to make me happy?
Forget it.
Take a look at this.
A resume?
I'm going to stop looking after you guys
and focus on getting my life back.
Really?
Yes, you should get your life back.
But look at this resume.
All you have here is that you graduated
from high school and worked at a boutique.
Where can you submit this kind of resume?
That's why I need your help figuring out
what to write in the "skills" section.
You're good at many things.
Really?
Like what?
You nag at us, butt in other people's business,
and you scream at the top of...
Hey! What did you just say?
If I spent time on myself instead of you guys,
I would have a complete resume.
I've become like this raising you two.
Give it back. Forget it.
But at least you're beautiful.
Beautiful.
Instead of helping me, what did he say?
I'm good at nagging, butting in
and screaming?
Oh, gee...
I've wasted my life.
Oh, my!
No, no.
It's not too late.
My life isn't over yet.
The pub's sales have turned around, and
we expect better wine thanks to Master Kim.
You've done a great job, Mr. An.
I'll work even harder.
Why don't we do more aggressive marketing?
We can PR the master's rice wine, too.
I've been thinking about it, too.
Traditional wine has targeted a certain group
so I want to make it more public.
That is Punggildang's greatest goal.
Do you have any ideas?
What if we hire an ordinary person as
our PR model to represent our pub?
We can emphasize the fact that rice wine is
a public liquor that anyone can enjoy.
Isn't PR using models too cliche?
We can publicize in real time the process
of selecting our ordinary model.
Consumers can participate more, too.
Really?
It has the advantage of giving ordinary people
like housewives a chance to become a model.
That's a great idea.
I know you're busy at the pub,
but can you carry out this idea?
Yes, I'll do my best if you give me a chance.
Taeho, you're here.
We were just about to go have lunch.
I'm glad we ran into you.
Yes.
I'd like both families to dine together soon.
I'd like to treat you to a nice meal
and talk about their marriage.
Great.
Are you free this weekend, Mr. An?
Yes. Where should we go?
I'm sorry.
The pub is too busy on weekends.
It's the end of the year, so I'll be very busy.
I'm sorry.
That's true.
Taeho, why don't you choose the date,
and let us know?
All right.
Why don't you two go have lunch?
I need to talk to Taeho alone.
Go ahead then.
Go and enjoy your date.
- Let's go, Ms. Bae. / - All right.
Taeho, I told you not to test my patience.
What did you do in front of our parents?
I just told them things are busy at the pub.
How can work be more important than us?
That meal is to talk about our wedding.
You're the one who broke off the engagement.
You understand.
I had no choice because of my work.
You told me you wanted to focus on your job.
I want to focus on my job right now as well.
What do you mean?
You wanted a competent man.
I want to start over at Punggildang as myself
instead of being your fiance.
How was lunch?
A bowl of warm noodle soup was perfect
in this cold weather.
Paran.
Paran?
How can you be Paran?
Are you really Paran?
Mr. An.
Why are you making my daughter cry?
Let's go.
Mr. An.
I'm sorry.
This happened because you cared
too much about Paran's disappearance.
She should be about 20 years old now.
I must've gotten confused
when I heard the name.
Yes.
That girl's name is Paran, too.
I wonder if my girl remembers her name.
Why did her name happen to be Paran?
What did I do in front of Ms. Bae?
Cracked rice can't make good-tasting wine.
Pick out the cracked grains.
All this rice?
Why? You don't want to do it?
No, I'll do my best.
Bom, what are you doing?
I'm checking each grain of rice to
pick out the shiny, healthy ones.
Rice wine begins from good rice.
You're sorting through this much rice?
He is determined to teach you thoroughly.
If I do my best to learn from him,
one day I may be able to make good wine.
I have a gift for you to cheer you on.
What is this?
You had broken yours last time,
so I bought one on the street.
It's so pretty.
I've been wanting a nice hair accessory.
Thank you so much.
There's no end to this.
Maru, did you get on Mr. An's bad side?
He didn't seem to look at you nicely.
I don't know.
Really?
Maru, are you done yet?
I'm almost done.
You need my help?
No, go rest if you're done.
Great.
If you're done, please help us out.
My shoulders are in pain.
Bye.
This is why I didn't see you all day.
Did you miss me?
Not at all.
I was able to focus on my work
because you weren't there to distract me.
I have tomorrow off. What about you?
Of course I have to work.
Really?
I was about to ask you to a movie
to celebrate my becoming an intern.
Are you asking me out on a date?
No, I'm not.
I didn't show up the last time we had plans.
You are asking me out on a date.
Bom, what are you doing here?
I'm helping him stuff envelopes.
Are you done with the distilling job?
Yes.
Then go home.
Can I help him finish this up first?
It'll take a long time to finish it.
I told you to go home.
All right.
Yes, go home first.
All right.
See you tomorrow.
Yes, Mr. Ma.
I already talked to my daughter so
come to my pub tomorrow and
talk to my daughter over a bowl of soup.
Bom.
I brought you an egg to put on your face.
Lie down.
I'm okay.
You're not okay.
Can you help me out at the pub
if you're free tomorrow?
Okay.
What is this?
Dad's things.
Why did you bring them home?
Don't take them.
Give them back to me.
Why? So you can cry looking at them?
Throw them out.
They bring back memories with dad.
Oh, no.
What memories?
Stop. I'll get rid of them myself if I choose to.
What?
Aren't those from her youngest girl's room?
Oh, my god.
Then do I get my own room now?
Thank you.
Paran was this small.
I'm sure she's taller than me now.
Paran.
Take care wherever you are.
Paran, my girl.
These are the only things dad left behind,
and she wants me to throw them away?
What?
This is a picture of me.
What is this?
