Episode 35
This is a picture of me as a child.
What's this?
Was it the day we moved here?
We used to move around a lot.
Dad was so happy that
we finally got our own room here.
He wrote everything in his diary.
I finally registered Bom as my daughter today.
What does he mean by this?
He registered me as his daughter?
Mom!
Mom.
What?
Mom, in dad's diary...
Your dad wrote in a diary?
No, it's nothing.
Why? What did he write in there?
Did he run into his first love, Sukja?
No, I must be mistaken.
What? What was that?
Why did she bring his old things
and stir me up?
What did I just read?
What does this mean?
(I finally registered Bom as my daughter today)
Your uncle and I made breakfast for you
so that you could sleep in today.
Aren't I the best uncle in the world?
Mom.
Can I ask you something?
Go ahead.
I'll answer everything I know.
Mom, I...
You what?
No, it's nothing.
What was that?
You always say something and take it back.
That's a very bad habit.
Do you know how much grownups hate that?
You need to correct that before you get married.
Mom, I'm your daughter, right?
What?
What kind of nonsense is that?
Whose daughter would you be then?
Stop the nonsense and eat.
Bom, why are you asking us that?
Of course you're her daughter and my niece.
I am your daughter.
She's suspicious of being your daughter
because you're always yelling at her.
I am very nice to her.
Don't you see me kissing up to her?
Go ahead and eat, Bom.
Eat.
Bom, you remember helping me out later, right?
Bom.
Where are you off to?
She seems to be upset about something.
I wonder what's going on.
Did she get fired because
she got drunk in front of her manager?
Ga-eul.
Go see how Bom is doing.
No.
She's upset about something.
She's about to explode.
I brought home a lost girl today.
I finally registered Bom as my daughter today.
I'm sure her birth parents are alive somewhere.
Bom, let's go take a bath.
She needs to dress up and look nice today.
Why is she so upset?
Go ask Bom to come out
to go take a bath.
Why? Is it a special day?
That's none of your business.
Come on. Go tell your sister.
You do it.
You're always making me do things.
You.
Bom.
Let's go take a bath.
Your face will shine and you'll look pretty
if you go dip yourself in warm water.
Where are you off to?
Hey!
It's so great to see all of you here.
I thought about it a lot after I talked to you.
It must've been hard for all three of you to
adjust to the new environment.
Thanks for listening to us and
sorry for making you go through this.
In particular, Maru, you are always so quiet
that I didn't look after you. I'm sorry.
No, it's all right.
If you feel uncomfortable and have a hard time,
please come and talk to me, okay?
Did you decide to stay due to other concerns?
What? No, I...
What other concerns?
I don't know.
I thought he might have concerns
if he decided to turn around from the airport.
Maybe a girl or money problem?
It's quite common at his age.
You seemed to act nicely and asked us to cook
breakfast together, but you didn't mean it?
Why are you so twisted, Jia?
I was just concerned about Maru as my brother.
Look at this.
They are always fighting because
children of different parents are gathered here.
I was hoping to get rid of the guests
so that we can be a whole family.
Mother, please stop!
Did you forget what I said?
Maru, Jia and Aran are all our children.
If you say that once again,
I will not let Jeonggi live here anymore.
How can you say such a thing in front of them?
I was just trying to take your side.
Mom.
Why did you have to say such a thing?
I agree.
Mom, that was too harsh.
My mouth is always the problem.
Fine. I'll keep my mouth shut and stay in
the corner. You guys do whatever you want.
I plan on choosing our PR model out of
ordinary people. What do you think?
What?
Why don't you hire a celebrity?
I thought using someone like a girl next door
would be perfect to let consumers approach
wine easier. You don't agree?
Who would even be interested?
Every company hires top celebrities these days.
I agree with Mr. An.
It's a refreshing idea.
Let's come up with a business plan of
how to choose a model and PR our wine.
Maru, I don't know what you know, but you've
studied abroad. Try writing up a report.
I will work hard if you give me a chance.
I used to do PR work as a volunteer
while studying in college,
and did planning and management
as a reporter on the school newspaper team.
Really?
You've been wasting your skills
as a part-timer in this pub?
This should be done professionally, okay?
This marketing plan represents Punggildang.
You think you can do it?
Yes, I'll do my best.
Maru will be part of this project then.
Oh, that's right.
Go get the ingredient purchase list please.
All right.
Are you here to see Bom?
It's her day off today.
No, I'm here to get the ingredient purchase list.
You two are such close friends.
Bom was looking for you
when you had your day off.
Thank you.
Bye.
Mr. Kang Maru.
May I ask you something?
How long have you known Bom?
I once stayed at Bom's place for a while.
We became friends then.
You stayed at Bom's place?
I may be overstepping my boundaries,
but Bom has been having a hard time because
of a friend. I thought that friend might be you.
I don't think it's necessary for me to
tell you what's going on between us.
True.
As someone older who cares about both of you,
I'd like to say that if you have feelings for Bom
you'd better be more careful.
Then let me ask you something.
Why are you so interested in Bom's business?
I have no reason to tell you this,
but I will tell you anyway.
Bom is more than a friend to me.
Goodbye.
I have something to tell you.
Maru is a son that my dad brought with him.
I was too embarrassed about our family matter
so I couldn't tell you this sooner.
But I shouldn't hide it any longer.
I didn't know.
I hope I didn't make any mistakes.
Forget about that.
I heard you two talking.
Why did you ask about him and Bom?
It's none of your business whether
he dates Bom or not.
She was having a hard time because of him.
Even if she cries over a boy,
why is that any of your concern?
They seem to be in a lovers' quarrel
so why are you interfering?
You said work and personal lives are separate.
I hope you keep that in mind.
Your face is cold.
Let's go back in.
Is Taeho falling for Bom?
No way. That's ridiculous.
How is it going at the pub?
Are you concerned about Master Kim?
Yes, I am a bit concerned.
He's not a terrible person
but isn't easy to deal with.
I'm sure it's hard for the employees, too.
He seemed to be initially pleased with Bom,
but I think he was disappointed by her.
He told her to throw away the wine she was
in charge of and told her to stay away today.
Oh, no.
I planning on looking after Bom for a while.
It'd be a great chance to fix our relationship.
That's a great idea.
Bom must do well to please Master Kim
which will be good for Punggildang, too.
Thanks.
You seem to be finding your place
at work and at home these days.
I was too sensitive over nothing before.
But I am worried about Bom.
He must've been quite angry.
He told her to do something all over again.
Oh, gee.
Why's job experience only considered a career?
The years I spent being a mom and
being the wife of Punggildang's chief secretary
are my true career and skills.
I'm also beautiful.
No one can look this pretty at this age.
Mom, are you talking to yourself in the mirror
because dad won't listen to you?
Didn't you read fairy tales as a child?
All princesses talk to themselves in the mirror.
Princess?
No princess is old like you, mom.
Listen to yourself.
You take my beauty for granted
because I am your mother.
But I'm pretty enough to be a model.
Right.
You're the prettiest out of my friends' moms.
Jeongwu said he thought you were my sister.
Really?
Bring Jeongwu home when you get a chance.
I'll treat you two to a nice meal.
By the way, do you have anything for me?
What? For you?
Hey! Suho!
I already know Taeho gave you an allowance.
You bragged about earning your own money,
and now you're ripping us off?
Mom, just one bill. No, two.
Go away!
I won't waste any more money or time on you.
You're on your own.
Mom, do you know?
Not only do princesses talk to a mirror,
but also witches.
What?
Is he calling me a witch?
If I get 5 times of $2,400 a month,
how much is that?
5 times 4 is 20.
$12,000?
Are you serious?
That's why people are lined up to be part of it.
Excuse me, Baedal.
How much? $50,000?
There is just one spot left.
Are you certain about this investment?
Really? You're going to make a deposit now?
Hey, Changsu. Changsu.
Changsu, that's my spot.
What should I do?
Make a deposit right now?
All right. I'll make the deposit right now.
All right.
Why aren't you off making deliveries?
That's not important right now.
(Shinhan Bank, Recipient Kim Changsu)
Next.
Okay.
I just wired $2,400.
Just wait, Jeongmi.
It's only a matter of time to
turn my $2,400 into our apartment.
It'll become $12,000 in a month,
and it'll become $60,000 in two months.
I'll be rich very soon.
Okay.
You know he's not the one, right?
Why are you changing your mind?
You said being poor didn't matter.
There are different levels of being poor.
He has nothing except his pretty face.
I can't hand over my daughter to him.
How can he only have $2,400?
What did I tell you?
I told you not to meddle in my life.
Why did you have to butt in
and stir up my life?
What?
You've already fallen for him?
Are you crazy?
What do you mean I've fallen for him?
I'm off to work.
Oh, gee.
Something's fishy.
The call has been forwarded to a voicemail.
You will be charged after the beep.
Shouldn't he confirm that he got my money?
Stop mumbling and help me with this.
Hold on, sis.
I'm doing something very important.
What else is important to you
other than peeling onions and grinding garlic?
Sis. You keep disregarding me,
but you may regret it later.
I'm going to turn $2,400 to $12,000 in a month.
Are involved in a scam?
A scam?
It's an investment.
You know Changsu, right?
My elementary school friend.
He let me in on a very good investment.
He let me in discreetly.
Oh, no.
You were deceived by Changsu.
What do you mean deceived?
I can smell a scam from a mile away.
Go and get your money back right this instant.
Don't ruin a good investment.
Are you mad that I didn't tell you, too?
When I get my return, I will buy you
a nice fur vest.
Go get your money back now!
Oh, gee.
Jeongmi, what are you doing here?
I got worried about you after
you got kicked out by my mom like that.
Just wait, Jeongmi.
$2,400 is not the problem.
It'll become $12,000 next month,
and it'll...
Stop this nonsense.
Why did you show her your checkbook?
Did you think that would win her over?
I know what I did was wrong.
Don't worry.
Just have faith in me and wait.
Everything is going well.
Hey.
People will stare.
Let everyone stare.
I'll make you happy.
Hey! Your sister came out.
Bye! Bye!
Wait up, Jeongmi.
What is Bom up to all day?
She needs to look pretty before Mr. Ma comes.
I never doubted I wasn't your daughter.
Whenever mom was mean to me,
I just thought every mom was like that.
When you left us with a lot of debt,
I didn't doubt to pay it because you're my dad.
And you're saying I'm not your daughter?
Why did you take me in and raise me
if you couldn't afford it?
And why did you write that down?
You should've taken that secret with you.
Why did you leave a record of it?
It's almost time to meet Mr. Ma.
Where is she?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
Mom.
You promised to help me out in the afternoon.
Then you should come home on time.
Can't I just stay home?
You promised me.
Look at what you're wearing.
The customers will just leave
if you sit there wearing this.
This isn't going to work.
Go and change into the clothes I bought you.
I'm tired, mom.
Be quiet and go change.
Why isn't she cooperating with me today?
Why did she make me wear this
if she's going to make me bus tables?
Come in.
Have a seat.
Are you here to eat?
You're Bom, right?
Yes.
I heard a lot about you from your mother.
I see.
Would you like a bowl of soup?
No, thanks.
Have a seat and let's talk.
What is it that you want to talk to me about?
Your mom said you're nice, brave,
and good with household chores.
She seems to be right.
I see. Thank you.
Too bad your family is in so much debt.
I'll work hard and pay it back.
Didn't your mom tell you
that you don't have to worry about it anymore?
I'll pay it back for you.
What are you talking about?
What else?
You don't have to work hard like this anymore.
What are you doing?
Come on. You're so pretty.
I like you already.
You just need to make up your mind.
Let go of me.
You're making me feel embarrassed.
If you marry me, I'll pay off your family's debt,
and you don't have to bus tables anymore.
Leave if you're going to say that.
Don't play hard to get.
Let go!
Mom!
I'm so sorry.
It's because she's such a shy girl.
I'll talk to her again,
and set another date.
Okay.
What's going on, mom?
Do you know what happened at the pub?
Hey.
Didn't I tell you many times?
Get married if there's a nice, rich guy.
You said you were all for it.
That's why I arranged that date for you.
Why are you acting like you don't know?
I was kidding.
I can't get married.
Why not? Just do it.
Do you know who that was?
He owns that 5-story building over there.
You should be grateful that someone like that
is willing to go on a blind date with you.
You just ran away from him?
So that's it?
You agreed to marry me off if he pays our debt?
Listen to you.
You sound like I'm selling you off.
I'm doing this to make your life better.
Mom!
Come on. He's such a nice man that
he's willing to pay off our debt.
How can you just leave him like that?
Do you know what he did to me?
What else?
Did he grab your hands and pat your butt?
Yes. He grabbed my hands with a wicked smile.
What?
That's because you're so pretty.
You've gone too far, mom.
You've raised me to marry me off like this?
Yes!
You're lucky if a rich man is willing to have you.
What do you have?
A great job, a good education,
or rich parents?
Consider yourself lucky to have this chance.
Go meet Mr. Ma once again.
If you don't do as I say,
leave and live on your own.
Mom.
How can she do this to her own daughter
even if she loves money so much?
(Proposal for Selecting a Publicity Model)
Someone got a call.
(Oh Bom)
I wanted to see if you had another proposal.
I see.
This is a simpler one. Please take a look.
Okay, I'll take a look.
You can go home.
Okay.
This is all because of the debt.
She must've been worried so much about it.
Who said you could grab her hands?
I didn't know you were this kind of a man.
She reminded me of my youngest niece.
She was just so cute.
Look, Mr. Ma.
That's what you do to your niece?
How would you feel if it happened to your niece?
I made a mistake.
Please let me meet Bom once more.
I got too impatient last time.
I'll be polite next time.
Forget it.
You completely scared her off.
Do you think she'll agree to see you again?
She has her pride, too.
That's why I'm begging you.
Let's say Bom and I get married.
I know how much in need you are of money.
I would not turn a blind eye.
Stop saying that!
Don't treat us this way because we're broke.
Don't make me a bad mom selling her girl off.
You're the one who talked about your debt first.
Just leave!
Let's just say that today didn't work out
because she's too young and immature.
Let's arrange another meeting.
You don't want to work all your life here.
Utilize the fact that you have a pretty daughter
why don't you?
Just leave!
Come on, Ms. Lee.
I wish you would come every day.
Then I could learn a lot about making rice wine.
Young people aren't interested in rice wine,
but you seem to be different.
I was in a home-brewed rice wine competition
and won an award in high school.
I wanted to learn about wine at Punggildang.
But I am worried about Bom.
He must've been quite angry.
He told her to do something all over again.
You're going home, right?
I'll get the car ready.
No, I'm headed somewhere else.
Then I'll drive you there.
I'll go by myself.
Don't worry about me and go home, Mr. An.
Why isn't Bom home yet?
What? She left a voice message.
Maru, you're not answering your phone.
You must be busy.
I'm on my way to the pub
so I wondered if you were there.
What's wrong with her voice?
Did she get scolded by Master Kim?
Your dad couldn't live a full life because of you,
and now you've taken his life.
You blamed me that I was bad luck
whenever something bad happened.
Now you're blaming me for dad's death?
You just want me to disappear, right?
Yes! I'm glad you said that!
Just get out of my sight.
Bom.
Tell me if anything bothers you.
You know that I'm always by your side, right?
Who am I if I'm not your daughter?
Everyone must've gone home.
Yes, it is quite late.
Bom.
Ma'am.
Is something wrong?
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Did you get scolded by Master Kim?
No.
Then why are you crying?
I was thinking about my dead father.
I see.
I read his diary.
