(Episode 77) You've gone too far.
That was completely uncalled for!
But I didn't do it.
How can you deny what you did?
I saw how mean you were
to your sister,
so how am I to believe you?
I swear...
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
It didn't have to come to this.
We don't have to be like this.
Bom.
I didn't do it.
Enough, Bom!
Did you move in to be like this?
I didn't do it.
Why would I do such a thing?
I've had enough!
Are you spouting lies too to
cover up what you can't?
What happened?
Why are you yelling at Bom?
Bom,
you throw this out yourself.
And tell Taeho
I'm calling off the wedding.
I can't pursue my own happiness
when you've expressed how against it you are.
I told you.
I sincerely wish you and Taeho
all the best.
So why would I do something like this?
It wasn't me.
Stop it, you two!
I've had enough.
Were you going to marry without my approval?
You even got a wedding dress?
Mom.
But you know how heartbroken Aran was
over Taeho.
Your child may do things you don't like.
You sometimes have to
go with your child's decision
even if you don't like it.
Jeonggi.
And Bom,
you need to be honest and tell us when you're upset.
Only then can we accept you as our daughter.
I know you cut up that wedding dress.
I don't expect an apology.
Just tell mom and dad
that I didn't do it.
Are you sure this wasn't your doing?
Aran.
Who else would have done this?
You're the only one who despises me here.
Ms. Bae is more likely to give you her blessing
if she knows
I'm not against you and Taeho marrying.
Are you lecturing me?
Or warning me?
Or...
Please.
Bom, did you apologize to your sister?
Um...
This is mealtime. Let's eat.
I'm talking to our daughters.
Let's not talk about that anymore.
Gukhui, the head of the household
just wants to reprimand the kids.
Why are you giving him a hard time?
Finish your breakfast.
I thought
all would be well with Bom's return,
but I guess I was wrong.
Good grief.
Your parents might never get to
share a bed because of you.
They've made your life way better, yet
you're making life difficult for everyone!
I know it will take time
for you to acclimate.
I'm sorry I'm not helping.
I know I don't have much of a say,
but I must speak my mind
or it will make me sick.
Who do you think you are
to disrespect your husband
in front of the children?
You need not concern yourself with this.
As the family elder, how can I put up with
your complete disregard for the man of the house?
All I ask of him is that
he takes good care of the kids.
He lets Aran get away with her stubbornness
and doesn't comfort or reassure Bom.
I find his indecisiveness
very frustrating.
Good heavens. How dare she...
She says what she has to and walks off.
You.
There's no doubt you caused this mess.
Don't be offended and just hear me out.
Would you consider going back to your old home?
Grandma.
Your adoptive mom was fretting
after she sent you here.
Go back.
I'll send you $100
a month to help you with your bills.
Midal,
I won't tell you to break up with him.
Just date him and have a good time.
That's right, Midal.
I've been there and done that.
Remarrying requires careful consideration.
It comes with a lot of problems.
Hon, what problems?
I mean...
You need to be realistic.
You can just enjoy each other's
company as friends and lovers.
And then you can break up
when you get sick of him.
Yes, do that, mom.
I really want to support you,
but Mr. Kang's just no good.
This stupid fridge never works.
I should throw it out.
Midal, you'll regret it
if you don't heed my advice.
- Here. Ah. / - Ah.
It's delectable.
Right?
Nothing goes better
with steamed calamari than
aged scallion kimchi.
You're even a great cook on top of everything else!
I'm so lucky to have met you
at my ripe old age.
You flatter me, Taejun.
Ripe radish kimchi makes
a good pairing too,
but alas,
my kimchi fridge is broken.
Really?
Then let's go and get you a new one.
Goodness me.
Kimchi fridges are very expensive.
Never mind.
Let's go.
It's the least I can do to be able
to enjoy your cooking.
Now, now.
I didn't bring it up to make you get me a fridge.
I don't want anything from you
other than for us to not play games
like young people do these days.
I just want us to be smiling,
merry in love.
That is all I ask.
You're beautiful inside and out.
Sir, what's this?
You'll have to put on a show for me,
man to man.

We're celebrating

kimchi refrigerator.
Wow. The grand prize is a kimchi fridge.
Let's enter to win.
Oh, come on. We'll never win.
No.
Who knows?
You're Lady Luck Midal.
You might get lucky.
I've never won so much as
$1 in the lottery.
Nothing ever comes for free for me.
Come on now. Give it a go.
I'll give you all my lucky energy.
Let's go.
Welcome.
We'd like a giveaway ticket.
Of course.
Tear this.
Is this it?
Yes, sir.
I hope Midal gets what she really wants,
a kimchi fridge.
May luck be with us!
Hold on to this.
I'm sure today will be your lucky day.
Finally,
we'll draw for today's grand prize.
Drum roll please!
They're doing the drawing.
Let's go look.
Let's see that ticket.
It's cold. Let's just go.
We won't win.
Come on.
Tada. I have the winner.
Today's grand prize winner

Number 1405!
Check your ticket.
It's 1405. Number 1405.
There's no way we won.
What's the number?
14...
What was it?
Number 1405.
1405.
Oh, my goodness.
Number 1405!
It's me. I have 1405.
We have the winner. Applause, please.
Congratulations!
- Woohoo! / - It's all thanks to you.
A kimchi fridge! Thank you!
Thank you, Taejun.
- A home pregnancy test, please. / - Sure.
How much is it?
$4.
Ow, my head. It's throbbing.
Something for a headache, please.
Here's the home pregnancy test.
Thank you.
Oh, my.
Here.
Geez. Look at that.
She takes off without
a thank you.
Kids like her cause their parents grief.
Why'd I have to run into her there?
That was a close call.
What if I'm really pregnant?
Mother, this month's allowance...
Would you mind knocking?
I'm sorry.
That was my bad.
Are you still seeing that Suho kid...
No, I'm not, so don't worry.
Good.
You're entering an international contest, right?
How's that going?
Good, good. I'm trying.
Try your very best.
And let me know if you need anything.
Okay.
Your mom's got a point, too.
I'm worried you may be rushing into
marrying Taeho.
So is everyone against it and
turning their backs on me?
Turning our backs on you?
How can you say that?
That's what you're doing.
By saying I'm rushing into it,
you're telling me to call it off.
No, I'm not.
That's ridiculous.
I've been suspended at work.
What are you talking about?
Nothing I do is good enough for mom,
neither with love nor work.
Can't you give me a chance to make it up to you?
Getting married and being happy is
the best thing you can do for your parents.
So why can't I do that for you?
What are those?
It's the weekend,
so I got some things for the restoration project.
It's hard to find cornelian cherry wine
this plump.
I made cornelian cherry wine
as a pre-restoration test.
It fermented well, so
I thought I'd give it another go.
It's good to work hard,
but mind your health.
I'm off to the provinces for
a board member's son's wedding.
Don't people go to weddings with their spouses?
It won't be fun for you
to go all alone.
Nor does it look good.
Why doesn't it occur to you
to help me talk to your mom
into taking your dad back?
We need to talk.
Tell mom you're not opposed in any way
to my marrying Taeho.
You framed me for
cutting up your dress.
And now you're asking me for a favor?
Fine. Never mind then.
I don't care what you say or do.
What are those?
What do you think you can do with them?
Can't I work with you at
the wine restoration lab?
What's with you?
I want to comfort mom and dad by
showing them how hard I'm working.
Stop it.
Please, Bom.
Bom.
How can you be so mean to your only sister?
I don't know if
I've found my daughter or a troublemaker.
Dad, how can you say that?
Your grandma said she asked
if you'd return to your old home.
That's out of the question,
but how about studying abroad
like your distant aunt suggested?
I don't want to do that.
How can you flatly reject
your father's suggestion?
I don't know how Ms. Lee raised you
that you are so selfish.
How one was brought up is so important.
What brings you here?
Mom.
I got you pork trotters, your favorite.
I got the last front foot.
It's from
a very famous place.
I had to transfer twice on the subway.
I just want
the interest payments on time.
I remembered how you used to boil trotters
and give us all the meat,
telling us you like the skin better.
You should have all the meat today, mom.
You're someone else's daughter now.
Don't call me "mom."
It makes me uncomfortable.
And I don't like it that
you come over all the time.
Mom, is something wrong?
I might really get upset today.
Don't mind her, Bom.
She's not herself these days.
Don't even think about coming here anymore.
Your rich CEO mom is right.
We need to cut all contact
for my peace of mind
and for your future.
What's gotten into you?
I came today to whine to you and
sleep by your side.
Who says you can sleep by my side?
Are you kidding me?
Go sleep and eat
at your mom's mansion.
You're worse than usual.
Is this to distance yourself from me?
No. We're distant already.
I raised you and then sent you away.
How much more distant can we get?
Do you think I cry myself to sleep
over someone else's daughter?
You can't win my affections
with stupid pig trotters.
Mom.
Things have been really tough for me lately.
I miss being home so much.
Stop your whining.
Did you expect me
to coddle you?
Bom, you're here again?
Hi, Bom.
Hi.
Bom, I know you must miss Midal,
but you shouldn't come so often.
You're my paternal and maternal aunt.
Can't you be more understanding?
Why do you have to be so harsh?
Why can't Bom be close to both of her families?
Do you think that can actually work?
Bom, let's say your adoptive mom
marries Mr. Kang.
Even if you and Maru are legally
and biologically unrelated,
do you think you can marry him?
Then, your adoptive mom
will be your mother-in-law.
You're right.
But didn't you and Maru
start dating first?
Oh, no.
Hi, Bom.
Maru's not back yet.
This may be inappropriate,
but I have something to ask you.
You do?
Go ahead.
You really love my mom, right?
You'll always be there for her, right?
I feel shy telling you this,
but your mom is someone I want
to protect and cherish till my dying day.
If this is about you and Maru,
don't worry.
I respect your love as much as
I want your blessings for mine.
I even told Midal to
cut all motherly ties with you.
That way, we can start anew.
What do you mean?
Give Midal some time.
Give her some time to completely
let you go.
I'm home.
Oh? You're here too.
I should go.
Did something happen?
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
I can tell something's wrong just by
the sound of your breathing now.
So tell me.
There's nowhere for me to go.
Ms. Bae's family wants me to move out,
and I'm told to distance myself from mom.
Even family takes time to get used to.
I know how tough your current situation is.
But let's be patient and wait it out.
You have me.
Once Aran and Taeho get married,
Taeho and Bom will be family.
That's why I organized this dinner.
That's right.
Whatever happened,
it is what it is now,
so you must get along.
Thank you for organizing this, dad.
We'll live happily so that
we don't worry you.
Congratulations on your engagement.
Taeho will be Bom's brother-in-law,
and Bom will be his sister-in-law.
What are you doing?
What is this, Jeonggi?
Gukhui,
stop being stubborn
and give Aran your blessing.
I didn't let you back in here for this.
Gukhui!
Mind how you speak
to your husband!
Taeho, I want you to leave.
Mom,
Taeho's our guest.
Get up, Bom.
You don't have to be here.
This is all your fault.
If it hadn't been for you,
Aran and Taeho would already be married.
But you got in the way
and made a mess of things.
If it's because of me that you disapprove,
I want everyone to know
that I'm completely fine with it.
I don't even want you talking about this, Bom.
I'm sorry.
Please excuse me.
Taeho!
Mom, this is too much.
I want you out, Jeonggi.
What do you mean?
I thought you'd be one with me
in handling our girls' issues.
So how could you do this?
What...
You'll kick your husband out?
After disrespecting him
and treating him like the kitchen help,
you're kicking him out?
It's because of you that Aran may not get married
and your parents may separate again,
so why are you so quiet?
Grandma.
Your parents are rich and high-class,
so why can't you follow suit?
Did that lowlife of a woman
teach you to come between your parents
and stir up trouble in the family?
Is that it?
Grandma.
Leave Bom alone.
Are you okay?
My eldest granddaughter
is just too sweet.
Why can't you be more like Aran!
Don't take it out on Bom.
Come on, grandma.
Good grief.
You're a piece of work.
I thought you'd stay in your room
out of shame
and guilt for the grief you're causing.
How can you be eating at a time like this?
Mother...
I won't forgive you if you're rude
to my mother.
I have something to take care of at work.
Sit down.
We went through a lot to find her,
so don't mistreat her like this.
Have you forgotten
how hard it was to get Bom back?
If there's always trouble,
how can Bom get comfortable here?
What's gotten into you?
What are you on?
How dare you talk to your older sister like that!
She's so kind and considerate.
What's the point in having three daughters?
You're the only one worth having.
(Baeksuhwandongju: First Attempt)
Yes. I shall work.
I shall work to forget.
Bom.
Here's the sticky rice for the baeksuhwandongju.
It's proper organic sticky rice grown on
well water of Eoil-ri, Gyeonggi-do.
You found it!
I'll use that rice for
the second attempt.
You've lost so much weight.
Do you want to try this?
It's cornelian cherry wine I made to test.
It's sweet and tangy.
It'll make a great aperitif.
How's it going?
Ms. Bae.
Mr. Kang,
aren't you on suspension?
I had something to drop off.
Maru and I are making the baeksuhwandongju together.
The first jar is fermenting,
and I'll make a second jar with
the rice Maru brought.
Bom,
I can't stand it when young people
let their love life consume them.
I want you two to just focus on work.
Don't disappoint me again.
Take it easy then.
Mr. An.
Here.
Thank you.
You said this was Ms. Bae's.
Why were you hiding it?
She lost this around
the time I went missing.
I was told this would upset Ms. Bae
as it would remind her of the guilt
of having lost me.
So why was Mr. An trying to hide it?
I'm not sure.
Maybe he saw
that I was flustered.
I told you.
I'm grateful to Mr. An for watching out
for me.
Hang on.
Mr. An.
May I ask you something?
Sure.
What is it?
Are you hiding something from Ms. Bae and Bom?
Hiding something?
What do you mean?
This went missing around the time
Bom did, right?
You know something about this, don't you?
(Traditional Fermentation Methods)
What's so important about this notebook?
I happened to overhear something,
so I'm asking you.
What Ms. Choi said she'd cover up
about you...
Does it involve Bom?
Dad.
You listen.
You've made a dangerous accusation.
I'll be watching you.
Hey, Kang Maru,
what do you think you're doing?
(Traditional Fermentation Methods)
I don't know what you think this is,
but don't be rash.
This notebook has nothing to do with
how Bom went missing.
I never told you the notebook had
anything to do with Bom's disappearance.
Hey.
Kang Maru...
No one wants to tell me the truth,
so I should ask Ms. Bae,
the notebook's owner.
If you really love Bom,
you'd better keep your mouth shut.
Some truths bring misery
when they come to light.
This is our competitor's new wine.
Please try it.
I'm sorry.
It's our competitor's,
but it's well made.
Ms. Bae,
I'd like to apologize about yesterday.
Let's talk about that later.
This cornelian cherry wine is good.
Even though it's our competitor's,
it's hard to mass-produce this
flavor and perfume.
This cornelian cherry wine is the first wine
I made since coming to headquarters.
Oh, hi.
The workshop program?
I'll bring it right over.
I must have been upset last night.
Please forgive me if
I offended you.
And I'll talk to Ms. Bae about
your marriage to Taeho again.
Okay. Sure.
So this is the first fruit wine you made
upon joining Punggildang, right?
You used good cornelian cherry, too,
so I'm excited to try it.
What's wrong?
Is it bad?
Did you really make
this cornelian cherry wine?
Yes.
I aged the cornelian cherry in sugar
and removed the pips to keep them from spoiling,
and I used quality white cotton to strain it.
Compare this with yours.
Why does it taste exactly like
the wine you claim to have made?
That's impossible.
No way.
This...
This can't be.
I made this wine myself.
I did nothing to be ashamed of.
Wait.
What are these?
They are...
You're still going to deny it?
How can you deceive me like this?
I didn't.
That's not what I brought you.
Hi, Gukhui.
Hi, Bom.
Ms. Bae,
how can I make you believe me?
Have you ever called me "mom"?
Do you even think of me as your mom?
Ms. Bae, Ms. Bae, Ms. Bae!
You feel so distant.
At times, I wonder
if you're really my daughter.
Wait...
Love and affection must be earned.
She's hopeless in that regard.
Good grief.
What did I tell you?
You won't be fully accepted
if you don't cut ties with Midal.
Bom,
can I have a word with you?
Though you are my biological daughter,
we can't expect to be family overnight
given how long we were apart.
Why don't you
stay with your adoptive mother for a while?
And this is a token of appreciation to her,
so take it.
Dad...
Was I being too harsh?
Okay. So long.
