(Episode 73) You lost your wine recipe notebook
when you lost your daughter 20 years ago,
right?
May I ask who this is?
Me?
Someone who knows what happened
to your daughter.
Who are you to
talk about my daughter like this?
Why have you called me?
Do you think she just got lost on her own?
Hey.
Think about it.
Who was it that could have done that
to your daughter?
What are you after
with this nonsense?
Well, hello, Mr. An.
Are you scared now?
I'll be in touch again.
We'll contact the police
if you call again.
Mr. An.
I think it was another scumbag
threatening to tarnish
the company's reputation for money.
Was he talking about me?
No, he wasn't.
Don't worry about it.
What's with you, Taeho?
Do you want to know?
Do you really want to know?
Do you know what this is?
It's one of my mom's notebooks.
My father sold this to
a competitor 20 years ago.
What are you talking about?
He sold the notebook?
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
And that's not all.
He also abandoned Bom, your sister,
while trying to sell this.
That's not possible, Taeho.
Your father wouldn't do that.
I'm sure you're mistaken.
I wish I was too.
I wish I was mistaken.
Do you think I want to believe this?
Do you think I can accept that
my father was cruel enough
to betray Ms. Bae and
abandon Bom on the streets?
No. No way.
What are you two doing?
What's going on?
Um...
Mom, you see...
Mom, what Taeho meant...
No matter what he says,
I'm not giving you my blessing.
But Taeho was...
I don't even like seeing you two together at work.
It upsets me that
you're being fodder for gossip.
Taeho regrets what happened
and apologized to me.
Everyone makes mistakes.
You know the reason for my opposition.
It's not that Taeho had feelings for Bom.
It's because he's so fickle.
He's just like your father.
Mom.
I can overcome that kind of pain.
Taeho, I told you not to be rash.
Dad!
Come with me.
I've decided to let this go and move on.
Bom has been found,
and Ms. Bae's notebook is a thing of the past.
But you're being blackmailed over it.
You're in agony because of the guilt.
That's the only thing I need to work out.
So you let this go.
I'll handle it.
Just come clean.
Like you said, Bom's been found
and Ms. Bae's recipe is a thing of the past.
Whether or not Ms. Bae forgives you,
just come clean for
your peace of mind.
Don't be stupid.
Must you crush the 30 years
I dedicated to Punggildang
out of your silly sense of honor?
Dad.
And it will ruin you.
It will also ruin our family.
Ms. Bae,
May I have a word with you?
Sure.
I wanted to have a word with you, too.
What Aran and I were...
I'll go first.
Aran doesn't love you.
She just has a hard time letting go.
And even if you two
start over and begin to date again,
I'd be against it.
This isn't about Aran.
There's something else.
Taeho!
Wait.
Dad.
Mr. An!
Mr. An.
What happened?
You see...
I don't know how to begin to apologize.
I was just hoping you'd be more careful.
I see...
Why did you run down in such a hurry?
I had something to tell you, Ms. Bae, but...
I'll tell you later.
Tell her now.
No.
I'm sorry to have worried you.
Have you eaten?
What would you like me to do?
Tell Ms. Bae the truth
and ask her for forgiveness.
Even if you pay off the blackmailer now,
he'll keep coming back.
You can't live with that kind of fear and guilt.
You're right. I did a terrible thing.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
So please...
Dad, what are you doing?
What's the matter with you?
Dad. Please, dad.
If this is keeping Taeho from marrying me,
I'll just burn it.
What are you doing?
Move.
Isn't this Ms. Bae's notebook?
Why are you burning it?
Why are you always prying?
What's it to you whether or not
I burn mom's notebook?
Tell me what you're trying to hide this time.
What are you two doing here?
Nothing.
Did you get into a fight?
I have something to tell you.
Mom, dad,
Bom wants to move out.
She wants to go back because
she's uncomfortable here.
Is that true, Bom?
Let's talk inside.
What will the neighbors think?
Bom, tell us why you want
to move out.
Mom, I'll talk to her.
I think she's still trying to get acclimated.
Your lost notebook...
Mom, it's my fault.
Aran.
I've had my issues with Bom moving in.
And I upset her
out of petty jealousy.
Is that cause for you to fight like little kids?
I was asking Bom to move on
in order
for me to marry Taeho.
Bom must have taken that hard.
When will you two stop this?
Both of you, go upstairs.
That was Ms. Bae's lost notebook, right?
I heard I went missing
right around when that notebook went missing.
That's right.
So?
Tell me the truth.
How did you end up with the notebook?
Tell me why you're lying to Ms. Bae
to keep it concealed.
I want to get back together with Taeho.
I'm doing this because I want to marry him.
Can't you help me?
What does that notebook have to do with Taeho?
Why are you prying?
Just take my word for it.
Why are you so selfish?
You found your family after 20 years.
Why should I lose Taeho,
whom I've loved for 20 years?
Aran.
If you keep your mouth shut,
everything will work out for Taeho and me.
Aran.
Bom, can we talk?
Do you have feelings for Taeho by any chance?
No, not at all.
Good. I'm relieved.
I'm going to give Aran and Taeho my blessing
and try to talk your mom into it too.
So I was thinking...
How would you like to study abroad
like our elder relatives suggested?
Um...
I haven't given that any thought before.
You can study traditional wines around the world.
And with time,
you and Aran can get over
your ill feelings.
I only have your best interest in mind.
I hope you're not offended.
No.
Philandering.
Yes. Philandering.
My husband cheated on me,
and my son cheated on his wife.
That's all in the past.
We want to know the future.
Your son's returned to his wife,
but she's not taking him back.
How uncanny.
That's why we're here.
They say you can help us.
Your son and his wife get along fine,
but there's ill fortune.
You must get rid of that nuisance.
Nuisance?
Please be more specific.
Be quiet.
You'll need a talisman.
What are you doing, mother?
Nothing.
I came to see how my daughter-in-law
is doing all alone in this huge room.
If you're here to get Jeonggi in here,
please leave.
It's natural for a mother to want her son
to share a bed with his wife.
How could you be
so cruel as to shoo me away?
Mom,
are you pestering her again with your nonsense?
Their marriage is their business.
We have no right to butt in.
Nonsense?
Mom, please stop it.
Gukhui doesn't want me back.
My little lamb,
are you getting ready for work?
Did you sleep well?
You seem to be the only one here
your mother will listen to,
so talk her into letting your dad in her room.
I don't think that would be appropriate.
Ms. Bae's uncomfortable with you being like this.
Don't you care that your parents were
separated for 20 years because of you?
What's the point in finding a long-lost child
and taking her back in?
And when will you stop calling your mom "Ms. Bae"?
How cold can one girl be?
You've been through so much, Aran.
Please don't dwell on
my temporary negligence, okay?
Of course not.
You had my best interest in mind.
You say the sweetest things.
Right, Gilsu?
My feelings on you and Taeho...
Mr. An...
I mean, Mr. Gilsu,
you know me.
I've relied on you more than
my own parents for 20 years.
Of course.
I know that.
Taeho means much more to me than just a boyfriend.
He's like family to me.
I can forget and accept the pain and grief,
even his mistakes and faults.
Aran,
marriage isn't just about the two of you.
That's why I'm going to step in and
make this happen for you.
Thank you, Ms. Yun.
Aran, move on.
Taeho will probably do the same.
Mr. An, you know
I can't live without Taeho.
How can you be so heartless to Aran?
You have me, Aran.
I'm always on your side.
My goodness. You poor thing.
You poor dear.
Good grief.
You poor dear.
How are things at home?
Ms. Bae's still unhappy about us, right?
We said we wouldn't let that bother us.
I can manage,
but your parents must nag you about it every day.
The thing is...
The notebook Ms. Bae lost
when I went missing...
It's nothing.
Why stop in mid-sentence?
It's just a family thing.
Mom, my balloon.
Oh, no.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Don't cry.
Mom.
I got it.
Paran, here's your balloon.
I caught your balloon.
Come on, pretty Paran.
Let's go.
Bom.
What?
Oh. Let's go in.
I have something to ask you.
Do you remember when I was little?
Of course I do.
You were such
a pretty, adorable child.
You really took to me.
It actually came back to me.
Something about me?
What do you mean?
We went somewhere together, right?
Just you and me?
I'm not sure.
You and I didn't go anywhere alone.
Yes, we did.
No, we didn't.
You took me to a park and
bought me a balloon.
I cried when the balloon flew away,
and you caught it for me.
I did?
You remember all that?
I suddenly remembered it today.
You did?
I see.
What if Bom recalls what happened?
It's making my heart pound.
Maru.
Were you with the senior Mr. An?
Yes. I had to ask him something.
Did something bad happen?
No. Nothing like that.
Bom, I don't think you should trust Mr. An.
What do you mean?
I'm so grateful to him.
He's always
looking out for me and helping me.
I'm late for a team meeting.
I have to run.
Please help Jia and me.
You're the only one I can turn to.
I'm in trouble myself.
My wife and I are in a standoff.
Oh, come on, Mr. Lee.
It's thanks to my coaching
that you married Ms. Choi.
Good heavens.
Why is this troll of a boy back?
You may have been a part-timer,
but where's your sense of professionalism?
How could you just quit
without a word?
Please, Mr. Lee.
Wait.
Should I use him as an excuse to go there?
Let's go, Suho.
- Wait. Hey! Hey! / - Thank you, Mr. Lee.
Where are you going during work hours?
My only brother does nothing
but play hooky.
And Mr. Kang got upset
and disappeared without a trace.
Good grief.
I was picking out
a dress for you.
See? It's your size.
Whatever.
Every cheating man uses that line.
Plus, I was never interested in you.
We heard you were deathly ill.
It's absurd that you were out
getting her a dress.
Hon, hinder fights
but encourage love.
You should stop the kids from arguing.
Baedal, be quiet.
I could bite your nose off
when I think about what you did to Chisaem.
You should go.
We spoke with your parents,
and Jia won't date someone like you.
What's wrong with me?
I know I can love Jia until the end of time.
In any case, I hate cheaters.
My dad was just like you.
He cheated and lied.
That's how I was born.
Jia...
Jia, that's not something
you should say in front of your dad.
It caused my mom so much suffering.
I can never forgive a cheater.
I wasn't cheating on you.
You're mistaken.
Whatever.
And take this.
I don't need it.
Jia...
Ms. Bae's cold and stubborn as a mule,
so I'll try to win over Aran's father,
who's a complete softie.
Don't you dare
come here again.
Jia, I can't live without you.
What are you doing?
An Suho,
why are you so pathetic?
You little hussy,
what are you doing to my son?
Perfect timing, Ms. Yun.
Please take your oaf of a son home
and make sure
I never see him again.
What?
What did you just say?
I tried to be nice.
Leave my darling Jia alone, mom.
My darling Jia?
I can never date you
because of your mom.
Mom, please beg her for forgiveness.
Beg her?
You worthless dope.
Why did I ever even bring you into this world!
Stop it.
Geez.
Wait a minute.
Where do you think you're going?
You're worthless,
so move.
Jia.
You're worthless to me too,
so move.
I came because
I'm worried about Aran.
I don't know why she's being
so stubborn.
She must take after you to be so
unwaveringly devoted.
You may have taken a small break,
but you returned to Ms. Bae in the end because
of your unwavering devotion.
Listen, lady, you're making no sense.
That's right.
He even had a child out of wedlock.
Anyway, the matter isn't for me to decide alone.
Gukhui is adamantly opposed.
But you support the love between Aran and
Taeho, right?
I do.
But Aran's a delicate soul who
gets hurt easily,
so I'm worried.
My team has to write
a report on the US export deal as well.
But it's hard to
translate all this trade terminology.
I'll get it to you by tomorrow, okay?
Thanks.
I'm so lucky to have a talented boyfriend like you.
Then give me a kiss as payment.
Hey, we're at work.
Why? No one's here.
No.
By tomorrow then.
Hey...
Ms. Bae.
Hello.
Bom,
I'm going to be blunt with you.
You can't see Maru.
Maru was my only friend
in my darkest hours.
And I found you and dad thanks to him.
I know. I know.
But not Maru.
I won't break up with him for your sake.
Why are you being so stubborn?
There's a good reason
I'm putting my foot down.
You know why, without me spelling it out.
Maru's got too much baggage.
We'll work through it.
We can overcome it.
I don't want you
to be in a complicated relationship,
so break up with him.
Ms. Bae.
If you can't end it with him,
I'll have to separate the two of you.
I hope you don't disappoint me.
Bom,
I heard Master Kim's restoring a new wine.
Yes. He wants to make baeksuhwandongju,
but he's worried as he can't find
the special yeast for it.
Really?
This works out.
Procurement just found a man who makes that yeast.
Really?
Where is he?
It's a shame though.
Someone went to see him,
but he refused to sell the yeast.
Then should we go talk to him?
You're busy preparing for the workshop next week.
Why don't you go and see him?
You'll be in charge of the wine lab anyway.
Gyeongu,
this is the workshop material you requested.
You can go with Maru.
It might make you look more desperate
than if you were to go alone.
Hello?
Anybody home?
This is the correct address.
Maybe he's away.
Excuse me.
What are you doing in my home?
Hello, sir.
We're from Punggildang.
We heard you had the yeast for baeksuhwandongju.
Forget about it.
I already told the Punggildang staff who came by.
I'm not selling my yeast.
Please, sir.
Couldn't you spare just a little bit?
Our company's been trying to restore
baeksuhwandongju for a long time.
That's right.
We're sure to succeed
if only we can get that yeast.
And your yeast will be put to good use.
Why do you keep yapping
when I said no?
Hello?
What?
But it's been ages since we asked for
that ceiling hose to be replaced.
Okay.
Will they step in if my babies
dry out and die?
Sir,
may I take a look at it?
It's not as simple as it looks.
Please trust me.
I've picked up a few things
volunteering at farms.
Be careful, Maru.
This should work.
Bom, you wait outside.
Ow.
No, don't.
I'll consider it a workout.
1, 2.
Why did that come back to me?
Geez.
But it was a gift.
Why did he leave it behind?
He has a peculiar scent.
Welcome...
Please sit down.
I found myself coming this way.
You're a peculiarly charming woman.
How much is the spinach?
$2.
- Anything else? / - What about this?
Sure.
Anything else? Take a look.
It's so pricey.
- Give me a good deal. / - Yes, ma'am.
Take two for $1 each.
- Really? / - Yes.
And...
When did these come in?
The day before yesterday.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
What are you doing here?
I'm sorry.
Please accept my apology, Midal.
Forget about it and go.
I said I was sorry.
I know you love money
and pinch pennies
because you're strapped
and have no one to turn to.
I know you're the purest, most tenderhearted woman
there is.
So you're not leaving?
Are you coming back?
That's not for me to decide.
I'd be grateful
if you'd take me back in.
But why did you only leave me $350?
The rent's $500, but if I left,
Maru would be using
the room alone, so...
We can discuss this later.
Let's go.
- I'll take these. / - Good heavens.
The rent isn't for the tenant to decide.
I want the remaining $150.
When we get to the pub.
Come on. Let's go.
My goodness.
Forget what happened. Erase it from memory.
Midal,
don't carry such heavy bags alone.
The older you get,
the kinder you have to be to your body.
It's none of your concern.
What's wrong with me?
Oh, my.
What is it?
What are you doing, Mr. Kang?
Midal,
I don't know why I'm doing this either.
But Mr. Kang...
Bom isn't answering her phone.
She must be busy working.
Don't worry.
She's not a little kid.
Bom might say she's working
when she's actually with Maru.
I doubt that.
I was very clear to her about that.
Good night.
Wait.
Was Bom at the office when you left?
Oh... She and Maru went to find yeast.
I thought you'd worry, so I offered
to go with her,
but she was so insistent.
What are you talking about?
She said she
might not make it back tonight...
A young lady should know better.
Her questionable upbringing is to blame.
Where is that place?
Where is Bom?
- I'll drive. / - Okay.
Mom, this is unnecessary.
Bom is an adult.
She's old enough to be responsible.
Please trust her and wait.
You go back in.
I'll come with you then.
I'm her sister, yet I let her go.
Keep moving
so that you feel less cold.
You always make such a production of things.
Look at you kids, soaked and shivering.
What's the matter with you two?
Here. Take this.
Thank you.
We'll make sure the wine turns out great.
Thank you.
Are you going back in wet clothes?
Come in and change.
The watch is soaked too.
We'll just change with our backs turned.
Don't sneak a peek.
I won't.
Ms. Bae.
What are you two doing?
I won't break up with Bom.
What?
You pathetic fool.
Dad.
Why are you being like this?
Get out! Get out right now!
Bom doesn't remember how she
went missing.
So it's over now?
I'll talk to my father again.
I'll tell him he must pay for what he did.
Don't be stupid, Taeho.
I'm going to keep covering this up.
Ms. Oh Bom?
Who are you
to tell me this?
I told you, didn't I?
Don't be stubborn.
Hello?
There's someone in here.
Is anyone out there?
