[Episode 37]
Song-ah, Do-joon.
I'm sorry for this.
Why would you be?
I'm the one who should apologize.
Mom, Sis.
Let's not apologize to each other again.
I'm not worried at all.
I'm sure there's a place for us in this big city.
Looks like our Do-joon's grown to become the most mature among us.
Mom, I'm an adult now.
Song-ah, you should head back to work.
What are you doing here?
I can stay for a little bit longer.
Don't worry and go. I'll be with Mom.
Mom.
Don't worry about me anymore.
My daughter, I'll be fine.
You're the head of our household now.
You don't want to get fired, do you?
Go back to work.
Don't let your bosses catch you being late.
Listen to Mom.
Make sure that you hold her hand tightly.
And make sure that she eats.
Mom, I'll be back after work.
Okay.
Goodbye, my daughter.
I thought she was innocent,
but she turned out to be one sly fox.
You don't think I've handled girls like you before?
You won't know what's coming for you!
How are you?
Why don't you take a look at this before we begin?
What's your relation to Cha Gun-woo?
Are you irate over this picture?
Begin by answering my question!
I took that picture when I was young.
Cha Gun-woo used to be my tutor.
My question is,
why did Gun-woo keep that photograph?
How close were you?
Madam...
What are you assuming?
Do you really think there was something between us?
You deny it?
I thought you were aware, Madam...
Cha Gun-woo already had someone he was going to marry.
But to be honest,
he did pursue me behind Song-ah's back.
What?
Are you telling me that Cha Gun-woo was two-timing...
both you and Song-ah?
Madam!
I would never allow that.
I'd never touch a man who's already taken.
I treated him like my friend's man,
and he started stalking me.
Is that true?
Yes.
My sight fell on Manager Koo alone, from the very beginning.
That can't be!
Your story doesn't seem to add up.
Why not?
I was considering you for my son, Kang-mo.
Kang-min is already engaged to someone else.
What do you mean?
Manager Jin is dead, and no longer here.
You've got it all wrong.
Manager Jin was someone he had a crush on.
But Kang-min was originally promised...
to the daughter Jeil Group.
What did you say?
I used to admire your confidence and your intellect,
but now I see that you don't even know your place!
What was it you learned overseas?
You're not going to demand marriage...
over a one-night stand, are you?
Madam, you really want to stand in my way?
This is so annoying!
Nothing is going my way!
How's Mom doing?
Did she eat something?
Where did you go?
I'll need to look for a place right away.
I'll start looking,
so you take good care of Mom.
Do-joon, it's me.
Is something going on?
You're back?
Did you have a good lunch with the director?
Yes.
Is there anything you want to tell me?
I've got a stack of papers to go through today.
I won't have time to talk.
You've been messing with your hair all day long.
You're not going to get any prettier.
Aren't all daughters...
supposed to be pretty in their mothers' eyes?
Even a hedgehog thinks its babies are cute.
Why are you always telling me that I'm ugly?
I don't coddle my babies.
I prefer to state the obvious.
If you really want to become pretty,
it's going to cost a pretty penny.
Then give me money for surgery before you say things like that!
Anyways, why isn't this boy back from the delivery yet?
I was being lenient on him because he's cute, but...!
What took you so long!
If you're ever late again, I'm docking your pay!
I won't be late again.
I'm watching you!
Um, Boss?
I'm here with my mother.
Can she stay here with me for now?
What?
This is my mom.
Oh, my...
You're my friend from Gunsan...
Why do you keep saying that!
You look completely normal,
but you must have a screw loose up there.
Mom, sit right here.
Okay.
I'll do what my son tells me to do.
You don't have anywhere to go?
Yes.
But this is a chicken house.
It's not a homeless shelter.
You were hired to work here!
Boss, please help us, even if it's only for today.
We'll be getting customers soon.
The lady can sit on the bench.
Would that be alright?
Says who?
This is my place, not yours!
She reminds me of my sister...
Do you have money for rent?
Why do you need your own room?
Why don't you try digging and see if you'll discover a single dime.
We'll rent the vacant room again,
and we'll continue to share a room,
until you get married.
People sell half/half chicken,
but I'm probably the only person...
who accepts half deposit on a rental agreement.
Thank you very much.
I knew you were a good person, Boss.
What? I'm a good person?
Other than my father,
you're the only one to say that.
Be good.
I will.
Make sure that you pay your rent on time.
I hate late rent payments.
I understand.
Then let me go call my sister.
So, my friend from Gunsan...
How many times must I tell you that I'm not your friend?
I'm the owner of Bong's Fried Chicken.
I understand.
I'm sorry, my friend...
Why, seriously...!
My valve is about to burst open!
Are you listening in one ear...
and letting it flow out the other?
I feel like I'm in a lightning storm!
I'm not wasting my breath anymore.
Forget it.
I'm not wasting my breath...
How am I going to live like this?
How?
Why are you in such a hurry?
Is something going on?
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
You're my only employee,
so who else would worry about you?
Do you have something to tell me?
May I leave for the day?
I'm not holding you back.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Why don't you tell me about it...
instead of enduring it by yourself?
I'm here for you.
I think this is the place...
You found it.
I was worried you'd get lost.
Do-joon, how did you find this place?
To be honest,
I've been working here part-time.
What?
I told you that I'll take care of you.
I'm an adult, and I'm a man now.
You don't have to suffer by yourself.
I'm sorry.
You're going through a lot because of me.
That again?
We agreed not to apologize to each other.
I'm more worried about you.
About what?
Are you still broken up over Cha Gun-woo?
Don't worry.
I'm fine now.
I'm going to live as Mom's daughter...
and your sister from now on.
Let's go back inside.
This is my sister.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
My name's Jin Song-ah.
Pleased to meet you.
How are you?
I'm Han Ra-bong.
Hi, I'm Ra-bong's mom, Oh Young-ja.
Come sit over here.
While you're living here, let's do our best to get along.
But the three of you don't look like the struggling type.
What happened?
Mom, stop caring about how people look.
Why, what's your problem?
Do I look like I was born to fry chicken on the side of a mountain?
That's enough.
You're embarrassing me.
Why, you...!
You should be happy that I've given you a comfortable life.
Mom, are you tired?
Let's go in the room.
I'm not tired at all.
Song-ah, you've had a long day.
Good work today.
Mom, let's go.
Where's the room, Do-joon?
Over there.
We'll be going to bed now.
Okay.
Let's go, Mom.
I envy them.
That's how a mother and daughter should be.
Really? You envy them?
Go move into their room.
Then I'll have my room all to myself.
Clean this up.
I'll go sleep in the living room.
Are you uncomfortable around me?
Not me,
but I'm sure it's uncomfortable for you and Sis.
This isn't our house.
And you wake up at the slightest sounds.
I can wear ear plugs and a mask.
Then good night!
Our Do-joon is an adult now.
You're right. He's become a dependable adult.
I'm not asleep yet.
Oh, my...
Seriously?
Son.
Drink this.
I made sure to make Manager Kang give up on you,
so don't worry.
A man shouldn't sigh over things like that!
It's a blessing in disguise.
I didn't notice it before,
but she's the type to stab you in the back.
We can't accept her into the family.
Okay.
Don't worry about her anymore.
I'll take care of it myself.
Gosh...
Did my innocent son get mixed up with the likes of her?
Men and women have to find the right companion.
Look at your father.
He's blessed with a great wife.
Just meet someone like me.
People are more interested in the disinfecting function.
Are you telling me that this lamp kills germs?
That's correct. This is the CD Lamp that we've created.
How does it differ from previous lamps?
The studies here prove that our new lamp kills more germs...
kills more germs and contaminants than the competition.
I see.
If we attach this lamp to the filter,
we can create the very best water purifier.
How is Jin Song-ah's termination coming along?
Don't worry about her.
She'll leave on her own very soon.
Okay.
I'll trust you to it.
Manager Koo.
I was waiting for you to contact me, but here we meet.
Manager Koo, why didn't you get back to her?
You should be on top of these things.
Please don't scold Manager Koo.
I was talking about something personal.
Manager Koo, can we talk outside?
Sit down please.
Are you avoiding me on purpose?
To be honest, I've been confused.
I don't remember anything about that night.
Did I make any mistakes that day?
Mistakes?
No, nothing like that.
Oh, really?
Something must've really been bothering you.
I tried to stop you,
but you kept on drinking.
I was drunk, too,
but I should've stopped you that night.
When I woke up, I was in the room...
I'm sorry.
I won't accept an apology.
I actually discovered how you felt about me.
Was I the only one who was being honest?
I know that it was confusing for the both of us,
but I don't regret it.
Koo Kang-min, you novice.
I'm sorry, but you were in my sights.
Soo-ji?
It's me Song-ah.
Could you let me borrow some money?
I found a place, but I've only got enough for half of the deposit.
Yea.
Ah, it's okay.
It can't be helped, I guess.
Yea.
Jin Song-ah.
Should I let you borrow some money?
What do you think you're doing?
Look when a manager's talking to you!
You don't want me to give you a bad review.
You need this job, don't you?
Am I right?
I'll be careful, Manager.
Manager, may I be excused?
I'm asking you as a friend.
How long are you going to stay here?
Stop struggling,
and leave with some grace.
I'll take care of that myself.
And I think you're confused, but you're not my boss.
My boss is Chief Koo.
Why don't you handle your own team?
I'm impressed.
I thought you'd cry.
We'll see how long you'll remain smiling.
Jin Song-ah.
You think you've got it cushy here?
I felt sorry for you,
but now you're asking for it.
I'll put an end to you.
Yea, hello, Se-na?
Aunt, I'm busy.
Have you forgotten us already?
Why are you being so cold?
Do I have to dread calling you?
Get to the point.
You do know it's your mom's memorial today?
Of course.
I observed it every year in New York.
I want to do it right this time.
Prepare a big feast this year.
Looks like my sister's living the life of luxury after death.
I'll leave it to you, Aunt.
What's this?
Don't reject money when you really need it.
Extinguish the urgent fires with this first.
Sir...
Take it.
Does my sister know about this?
Let's make this our secret, okay?
Lady!
The dead have to eat this food before we do.
Oh, this is for a memorial day feast?
Why else would we be making fish patties in the middle of summer?
Did you mistake today for Chuseok?
Mom, don't speak so loud.
You're making her nervous.
Why, you...!
I can say whatever I want in my house!
If you don't like it, you can just leave!
No.
You can talk as loud as you want.
I'll simply plug my ears.
Oh, my...?
Look at that passive-aggressive prodding!
What the...
She's a complete pro at this!
Wow, seriously...
How loud you must've been, forcing her to plug her ears.
Wha, what?
Why, you...!
That hurts!
Did you think it'd tickle?
You little...!
I'm the one who raised you,
yet you take this lady's side?
And you call yourself my daughter?
Mom, are you jealous?
Jealous, my foot.
I regret all the money I've ever spent on you.
Look, Lady, don't just sit there,
and flip some patties!
You're not all there,
but your motor functions work just fine.
Whose memorial is it today?
My sister.
She was a maid all her life,
and she worked her bones thin...
And she died at the early age of 40.
That's unfortunate.
My niece tells me that the madam of the house...
was really mean to her.
Let's see how happy she'll end up.
Honey, try some of this.
Do you like it?
Here are some vegetables.
The white kimchi is ripe as well.
That's enough!
I'm not a dog you can feed anything to.
Goodness, Honey.
How can you compare...
my lovingly prepared meals to dog food?
Look here, Mo Hwa-kyung.
It's time you pipe down and live normally.
I'm too old and tired to deal with your personality anymore.
Are you having trouble at the company?
Business looks flashy from the outside,
but the reality is that it's full of dangers and pitfalls.
I've never felt peace a day in my life.
Kang-min.
Yes, Father.
The company is struggling right now.
That being said,
I think we should expedite your wedding.
What?
If you join hands with the Jeil Group,
we'll be able to survive though this.
Marriage is an opportunity for us...
to strengthen our company.
Mom, what should I do?
What else?
Do as your father tells you.
Your fate is to follow your father's will.
Don't think of it as unfair.
No one can have everything they want.
The golden spoon that you were born with...
has a price as well.
Knowing that you're better off than most,
you'll have to make some sacrifices.
Come on inside.
Is the memorial feast prepared?
Yea. Look here.
More than enough, right?
Your mom's going to be happy.
Sister!
I hated you when you were alive,
but now I miss you!
I never knew how much you suffered,
and all I did was blame you for father's death.
I'm sorry, Sister!
Sister!
Father!
Mom.
I'll get the madam back...
for all the pain she caused you.
I will not forgive anyone in that house.
Aren't you cold?

[Preview]
The product is defective?
That can't be!
I didn't give this to you.
This is a different model.
I'm a conservative woman.
You'll need to take responsibility for me.
What do you mean by that?
I'm no longer alone.
Kang-min got Manager Kang pregnant.
How did this happen?
She dares to go after my son?
I've seen many girls who lie about getting pregnant.
You don't believe me?
Judging from your actions, you're definitely not pregnant.
Right?
