(Episode 49)
Thank you for giving your permission.
Don't mention it.
I was thinking it'd be tough for you
to do the rice cake business
as well as the house work anyway.
Bokja is excellent at housework.
And she's always been an amazing cook.
That's right!
I don't know about anything else,
but I can confidently say that I'm no. 1 when
it comes to cooking.
Mrs. Park! What's for breakfast today...
Where did Mrs. Park go?
Why are you here, Mrs. Han?
Mrs. Park got a job.
She got a job?
So I'm going to be cooking for you
for the time being.
What about the restaurant?
I've hired someone to take my place.
Gather around. You need to eat and go to work.
As of today,
we have a new houseworker joining us.
A new houseworker?
Come on in.
Starting today,
she's going to help with the housework.
You dropped your spoon.
What about Kang Jiyu?
I've put her in charge of the rice cake business.
She'll be doing the housework in her stead.
And cooking for me as well.
So just keep that in mind.
She's in charge of the rice cake business?
You should've consulted me first!
You just do your job properly!
Are you making sure to be in the office?
Don't let me hear that you're not at your desk.
Father! That's not important right now.
You can't let just any old dog or cow in the house.
How rude! Dog or cow?
I ought to bite her like a real dog!
What did you just say?
I was just talking to myself.
Continue with your meal.
Take your time to look around.
Okay.
It's as if she owns this house.
Wow. I've taken over this place.
I'm so excited.
Oh, yeah...
- Let's see... / - Mom!
What are you doing?
What is it? What's going on?
Goodness...
What are you doing?
Mom, have you lost your mind?
Why on earth are you here? Why?
You heard what the chairman said.
I'll be working here from now on.
So you ran away
only to come back here and destroy me?
Why would I ever do such a thing?
Even dogs and cows love their offspring.
How could I not love mine?
Quit immediately.
Didn't you hear what I said?
It was bad enough you were Kang Jiyu's maid.
And now you're going to be a maid here?
Does that even make sense to you?
What's wrong with being a maid?
I like nothing more than housekeeping.
When I cook, I can't help but hum.
You know that.
Your job may be important to you,
but my job is perfect for me.
Do you think I'll be comfortable
seeing you work here?
You've done whatever you wanted until now,
so I'm going to do whatever I want now.
I'm going to stay by your side
and see how you live.
I'll be watching you.
Are you insane?
Do you really think this makes any sense?
Why doesn't it make sense?
A mother wanting to watch her daughter...
Mom!
I'll find you a nice place in your hometown.
Just live there.
Live there and do whatever you want.
Forget it.
If you're just going to keep repeating yourself...
I have work to do so I'll get going.
Is that you inside, Secretary Chae?
What are you two doing in here?
You even locked the door...
Thing is...
Goodness, I must have locked the door.
Madam, I'll stay super focused
and make sure I do a good job.
So don't you worry about a thing.
I will never quit and do my best.
Are you hiding something from me again?
What do you mean?
I'm just saying because you
seem to be acting strange.
I didn't know you had so much interest in me.
If there is something...
You should tell me now.
You must be confused.
Confused?
Do you still think I report everything to you?
Don't we just help each other out when we need it?
Wow, this looks expensive.
Please look after her.
Gosh...
Bokja is still so young.
How did this happen to her?
I wasn't worried since you recommended her.
But she has dementia... That's a bit...
It isn't that bad.
She's taking medication so it's gotten much better.
But if it gets serious from time to time,
please look out for her.
Don't worry. I'll take care of Bokja.
Who told you that you could bring someone here?
Get rid of her right now.
I'll find someone if we need it.
The chairman has already approved.
Also...
Don't mistreat Mrs. Park ever again.
What?
If anything...
Were to happen to her.
I'll be asking the chairman for his help.
What do you think? Didn't I improve a lot?
What do you think, CEO Wang?
Well... Thing is... With a girl group...
I think it's too difficult.
Why?
This is the best I've ever done.
I know. This was her best ever.
There are so many people
who sing very well nowadays.
I should've been born in the old days.
If she can't become a singer, what about an actor?
Mirae's definitely pretty enough.
Mom, I want to become a singer.
Well, if you insist...
How about trying to rap instead of singing?
Rap?
Are you telling me to do hip hop?
At least you can stay on the beat.
Try to practice rap.
I have an appointment... So I need to go.
Good-bye.
Nice. So it's rap.
But I want to sing!
Rap is singing too.
Just do as he says first.
Are you going to give up?
Director Yu.
Miss Park had plans, so I came instead.
Wow, this place is nice for when you eat alone.
What would you like?
You used to like the curry.
I still do.
You used to like clear broth, right?
This is so nice.
What is?
Being able to remember.
Without being able to remember the past,
the present is incomplete.
I learned that through you.
It's tough, isn't it?
It's fine.
Just like in the past,
you never say it when you're having a hard time.
When you used to have a recital...
Everyone knew you had a really tough time practicing.
But you've never said it was tough...
Or complained you were tired.
Director...
You know...
So much about me.
Isn't that natural?
I used to think...
I knew you very well too.
However, I think I was wrong.
I actually thought...
You were an average entry-level office worker.
Why didn't you tell me about your background?
I was embarrassed...
Of my family.
You saw what a mess my family is.
They only care about money and don't know love...
I was embarrassed.
So I kept pushing it back...
And didn't introduce to my family.
When I used to talk to you...
I really envied your family.
It sounded really peaceful.
And it was overflowing with love.
I had a great lunch thanks to you.
I found a good place to eat alone too.
Do you usually eat alone?
Most of the time.
I'd eat alone at places like this.
Or just skip the meal because I can't be bothered.
What did the director talk about?
Excuse me?
He said he had to talk to you about something
and he'd go to the restaurant instead of me.
He said it was serious.
Was it something bad?
Well...
He said to work harder.
I was so scared. I thought you were in trouble.
Sprinkle it on like this.
Look at this. Try it.
It tastes just like Jiyu's cooking.
Of course. I taught Jiyu everything.
I see. It's delicious.
Is it?
By the way...
I noticed earlier but
the members of this family really seem hot-headed.
Don't get me started.
The father-in-law...
I mean, what about the chairman?
Is he good to his daughter-in-law?
Fathers-in-law usually favor their daughters-in-law.
Favor?
He scolds her for being a bad cook.
He nags her even if she works well at the company.
He's a total pain.
Goodness.
What about the other family members?
Madam Jangmi does nothing but nag.
Director Yu, the husband, doesn't even come home.
Goodness, what?
They say he leaves early and comes late for work.
But I think he stays out most nights.
They only got married because she was pregnant.
That poor thing.
Indeed, poor Director Yu.
No, I mean Sun...
I mean...
The daughter-in-law.
Goodness. My Sunbok...
Does she not sleep well?
Or is she sick?
She doesn't need these sleeping pills, does she?
Who said you could use that money!
I told you to collect the slush fund, not spend it.
Then should I have left her to tell Kang Jiyu?
If Kang Jiyu finds out,
it's only a matter of time before Yu Gangu finds out.
So? You plan to give her that money to silence her?
There's no other way.
Listen up.
Give her a taste of money
and she'll never go away.
She'll only demand more money as time goes by.
Will you keep handing her the slush fund then?
If they start to get reckless and cause trouble,
you need to get rid of them.
You understand, don't you?
If you touch my slush fund again...
You'd better be prepared for the consequences.
What are you doing in here?
Why do you live like this?
What do you mean?
Your father-in-law and sister-in-law,
everyone here is out to get you.
Your husband rarely comes home.
I heard about everything.
So what? What will you do about it?
Sunbok.
Let's stop this.
You can't even sleep well or eat well.
Look how much weight you've lost.
What if you die like this?
Who's the one that's killing me right now?
If you're so worried,
just quit and get out of here. Please!
Sunbok...
Who are you calling Sunbok?
I'm so sick of that name.
Every time you call me Sunbok...
Every time I hear that name...
It reminds of that rainy day...
And I get so scared.
I remember being in the gutter...
I can't stand it.
That rainy day in that alley...
That's when Hong Sunbok died.
You and Kang Jiyu killed me. Do you realize that?
Oh, you poor thing.
How could you say that?
Jiyu cared so much about you.
You don't know anything, so be quiet.
Sunbok.
Come live with me.
Living at peace is better than living in comfort.
So let's stop everything
and live in peace with me.
If I hadn't become Chae Seorin,
I'd already be dead.
If I'm no longer Chae Seorin...
I will die, mom!
How could this happen to you?
My baby.
If I wanted to be Hong Sunbok...
The day when Oh Dongsu saved my life...
Oh Dongsu?
Did he save you?
I would've returned to you then.
But...
I went with Mr. Byeon, not you.
I wanted to live as Chae Seorin,
not Hong Sunbok.
And now you want me to go back?
To being Hong Sunbok?
Please...
Don't sin anymore, Sunbok.
That's why I'm begging you.
Please leave this house.
That's how you can save me.
Goodness... My poor baby.
Oh, my poor baby.
What will we do?
What will we do with you?
My baby...
Have you had dinner?
Excuse me?
Why are you so busy that haven't even eaten?
We all work to eat after all.
I'm okay.
Geez.
What are you on about?
Go on and have a scoop of rice.
Go on.
Here you go.
Eat up.
Until I stop working here,
I'll be taking care of your meals.
If you're hungry just say so and ask for food. Okay?
There isn't much to being a good son.
Keeping yourself well fed.
That's how you be a good son.
Do it for your parents.
Make sure you don't skip your meals, okay?
Geez, why aren't you answering me?
I grew up in an orphanage.
Goodness... You must've been through a lot.
Goodness.
Still, look at you.
Look how well you've grown. It's okay.
Thank you...
Thank you for saving Sunbok.
She suffered because she had bad parents.
And then such a terrible thing happened to her.
But you saved her life.
If I had known sooner...
I would've thanked you a long time ago.
You saved both Sunbok and Jiyu.
We need to work together
to stop Sunbok from sinning any further.
That's why I came into this house.
What's going on here?
Bokja.
You grilled up a tiny mackerel for me earlier.
But look at all this corvina.
Are you discriminating based on looks?
I know you ruined your life by going after looks...
And you still haven't changed?
What rubbish is this? Geez.
Don't mind him and eat up. Here.
Are you awake now?
Yes...
You should've woken me.
You seemed tired.
I finished everything you asked for.
Pack up. I'll take you home.
I can go on my own.
The bus and subway have stopped now.
Are you saying you'll take a taxi?
I'm glad you don't like taxis.
Do you know something?
You owe me a debt, Miss Jiyu.
There was one time...
When you gave all your money to an old lady in need.
And you borrowed money from me for bus fare.
Don't you remember?
I remember.
I'm sure with accrued interest,
that debt is quite a lot now.
Bus fare isn't much anyway.
Didn't you know?
I'm the son of a loan shark. It's in my genes.
I'm going to slap on a huge interest and collect it.
How much is it?
Money won't be enough.
I need something else.
Like what?
Just once...
Smile for me.
I want to see...
Your smile.
It's nice.
I feel like it's been a very long time...
Since the last time I saw you smile.
You're right.
I feel like...
It's been a long time since I've smiled.
You must be tired. Go home and get some rest.
I must look tired to you.
Excuse me?
I've never been...
This happy while working before.
Thank you...
For not pushing me away.
And forgiving me.
Please...
Get home safe.
What did you want to see me about?
I was shopping and
thought of something I wanted to say.
Jangmi, I'm at work.
You could've called me on the phone
or told me at home...
How dare you give me an attitude?
Jangmi...
No matter how much I thought about it,
it seemed strange. That's why I called for you.
You approached Gangu to use him, didn't you?
What... What do you...
What do you mean, to use him?
I've always been suspicious of the fact that
Gangu would get drunk and sleep with you.
I'm asking whether you came after him
for the compensation money when you get divorced!
I'm not getting divorced. Happy now?
Is Maeum really Gangu's son?
Jangmi!
I'm just asking. No need to get all upset.
Don't you know that father did a DNA test
before he let me in the house?
Do you think he wouldn't check that?
Why are you doing this to me?
Exactly. I was just asking.
Why are you being so defensive?
That's why you're even more suspicious.
I'll get back to the office then.
You'd better come to your senses.
You'll fall flat on your face
if you come after my family's inheritance. Got it?
(Bae Misu)
Why isn't she picking up? That's suspicious too.
- Hello? / - Why haven't you called?
It's past our promised date.
I'll call you back.
No need.
I'm in front of your office.
What?
I came since it was so hard to get in touch with you.
And I see your husband coming to work.
Since you don't seem to want to pay me...
I'll have to ask him for the money instead.
If I say I'll tell him the truth about
the night at the hotel.
I'm sure he'll pay me as much as I want.
Stay right there.
I'll going there right now so wait.
If you do anything, you'll regret it.
I don't know. I may change my mind if you're late.
We were talking! Where are you going? What is it?
Listen to me! You won't get a cent! Got it?
Where's Jiyu?
She's stopping by the chairman's house
and coming in this afternoon.
Please tell her I need to see her when she gets in.
Yes, Director Yu.
Here. The money you wanted.
You should've moved faster.
I didn't want to come all the way here.
Don't ever show your face again.
It's over now.
Why is there so little?
What?
I said I wanted triple!
Did you think I'd give you as much as you demand?
I was right.
Chae Seorin and that woman know each other.
Maybe...
Chae Seorin wanted to avoid me
so she made her do it.
I can't guarantee the secret if you keep this up.
Are you threatening me?
I wonder where your child came from...
When nothing happened at the hotel that night?
Nothing happened at the hotel that night?
Then...
What about Maeum?
