[Episode 14]
I'm sorry.
Yes, Eunsol.
Now? I'm just watching the sea.
Hi, Eunsol! What perfect timing...!
What is it? We're going to head back soon.
What?
Yeah.
Okay, I'll be right back.
Esol.
What's wrong? Did something happen at home?
I think I have to go home now.
What's the matter?
Something bad happened at home.
Let's go.
Something bad?
That girl. Her family's renting a grim cheap house.
It's a piece of cake to kick them out of there.
Tell me. What is the problem?
Jaejoon.
Please. Why did Eunsol call you urgently?
As a matter of fact, the landlord asked my family to vacate the house.
Her family? I'll kick them out on the street.
Jaejoon, are you okay?
Are you okay? Jaejoon.
You're panting like the other day. Where are you sick?
Let's get going first.
Jaejoon.
Like a bolt from the blue. How can we vacate the house this month?
So it wasn't in our luck.
We cleared off our debt, came back to our homeland,
all got jobs and just started settling down...
We're about to get kicked out on the street.
Then are we going to Seoul Station?
What are you talking about? Why bring up Seoul Station?
Last time I saw homeless people lie on the underground passages...
...with one of these on them.
You guys don't have to worry.
Aunt Yangsoon and I will turn every place upside down to find a place to live in.
Our security deposit is far from enough.
Rent is sky-rocketing these days.
It's strange. We had no house-hunters. How could it be sold overnight?
[Real Estate Purchase Contract]
Was the landlord willing to sell it?
Of course. He put it up for sale for years, but it wasn't sold so he rented it.
He came dashing to sign the contract barefooted.
Can he evict her family quickly?
He rented it at a giveaway price, so they agreed to leave when the house sold.
That's perfect.
Heera.
Are you really going to kick them out?
They can't get a place in Seoul with that money.
So she shouldn't have coveted my son.
She asked for it.
She'll learn the ways of the real world through this.
You're back? Was your trip to the sea fun?
How did you know I went to the sea?
She sent a text message.
So you replied that I couldn't come?
Yet, it seems she waited for you and spent time with you...
She must be a leech.
Is it you who bought her house and told her family to move out?
I clearly told you I'll do that.
Now only one thing remains to be done.
To kick her out of TNC and this field forever.
Mom!
She didn't get the job with her ability. She has no right to complain.
So you're going to tell HR to fire her?
Would it be necessary to do that?
If she's an independent girl like you said,
...I think she'll quit the job of her own accord.
You mean you'll tell her in person?
I know her number and address, so why not?
-Changsoo. -Yes.
Have the car ready early tomorrow morning. I'll go meet her in person.
Okay.
Hey man, break up with her. You can't beat your mother.
Break up with her before she suffers more.
Mom, are you really going to meet her?
You're not, right?
Don't. Please don't!
She didn't do anything wrong.
Yes, she did. It's a sin these days to not know your place.
Please, Mom. Please don't do that.
I like her. I love her deeply.
You know what?
You like someone for your sake, but you love someone for her sake.
Do you deeply love her?
Then it's obvious what you have to do for her sake.
Mom, please!
What's going on?
Why do you raise your voice at this late hour?
Are you defying your mom?
No, it's not that.
Jaejoon, go upstairs. Go to your room.
He doesn't please me.
What is it? What's his problem?
Does he not want to get married again?
It's not that.
Get changed and take a shower.
If he disappoints us again, he can forget about the wedding and the hospital.
He's a man, but he never does anything right.
Would it hurt to be half as good as his brother.
Yes, Esol.
I was worried about you. How are you feeling?
Enough about me, how's your family?
We might have to move to the countryside.
The countryside?
Yes. It's hard to get a house so we might move to Mr. Hur's hometown.
That's a problem when you just settled down.
Don't worry about me. Get a some rest.
I'm going to hang up now.
Uncle...
They say those who aren't blessed with parents aren't blessed with anything.
I think it's true.
I have no blessings in my life.
No good parents, no luck with money, no good friends...
In one word, I'm an unlucky girl.
Lena.
I clenched my teeth...
...and tried my best to better myself...
...but now I'm exhausted.
It is so tough, scary, and...
...too lonely to live life.
Lena.
Lena, get a hold of yourself.
Lena!
What should I do? My goodness.
Yes, this is Lena Jeong's cell phone. Who's calling?
Oh, hi. I remember.
How should I put this? She can't answer the phone.
Lena, have some water and wake up. Lena.
Oh, you're here. I'm sorry to have you come this late.
I should be tending to her, but I still have customers.
Don't worry.
She's a poor drinker, but she had a bad day today,...
....she got drunk. Please take good care of her.
Sure.
What on earth...?
Lay her here.
She reeks of alcohol! Why did she drink?
By the way, who are you?
Well...
She told me that she's all alone in the world.
My. She's been living here for four years, but not had a single visitor.
You are the first one that came here.
Really?
Poor thing. So stubborn.
[How to Become MC]
[If you want to succeed, don't stop!]
Director Kim, it's me.
Arrange a meeting with the Ads Director tomorrow.
Didn't we decide not to go with it?
I've got a reason to do it.
Schedule a meeting.
What?
Is that true?
Yes. I stood against her.
How?
'Forget about this marriage.'
'I'm not interested in your son either.'
'If you want the Qingdao hospital that much, you two live happily together!'
Wow, bravo! Wonderful!
Where did that bravery come from?
One wrong move and you would have gotten beaten up by your mom.
I have nothing to lose.
Such a mother-in-law will grill me to death.
Either grilled to death or beaten to death, it's the same.
Yeah?
Then how about getting beaten to death today?
Mom.
Didn't you say you have a surgery until this morning?
It's done faster than expected.
Follow me.
Mom...
Follow me!
-Dad! Dad, save me. -Follow me!
-Dad!
Yura, I have to go to work.
It hurts! It hurts!
Get up!
No. If I get up, you're going to hit me again.
One! Two!
Okay. Okay.
Don't hit the head.
I've got a short memory from drinking anyways.
Tell me the truth. Were you drunk yesterday?
No. I told you I quit drinking.
Then how could you talk like that to your future mother-in-law?
You already disgraced me with the water show at the club.
But that wasn't enough for you to break off your wedding like that?
Are you bent on bringing disgrace on our family?
No, Mom.
Listen, even some couples who married for love divorce in anger.
Do you think I can live happily with a man who's crazy in love...
...with someone else, but is forced to marry me?
You think love is the most important thing in marriage?
You're over you're head! It's background!
Jaejoon and the brat are as far apart as earth from the heavens.
If the earth and the heavens meet, it'll be the end of the world!
Go beg for your mother-in-law's forgiveness. Now!
No! I'm not going to get married. I won't beg for her forgiveness.
What? So you're going to keep being this way?
Alright.
Mom, Mom. Why?
Mom.
It's my fault that I raised you wrong.
Hit me with this.
Mom, I can't hit you.
Then do you want to be hit?
No. Okay. I'm sorry.
Where should I hit?
Buttocks. One, two!
-You're so...! Hey. -What?
How could you really hit me?
When will you grow up? When will you ever grow up? When!
Honey.
Stop right there!
Stop. She needs a loophole, too.
Close her credit cards right away.
She'll realize what this marriage means when she's penniless.
[My Jaejoon]
Heera, aren't you going to answer the phone?
A fisherman doesn't talk once he throws his line.
I warned him and now he should fight his own battles.
Then are you really going to finish her?
Of course. If I drag on, it'll only spread bad rumors.
I'll finish her in any way.
The person you have dialed is not available.
Hello?
Eunsol, this is Jaejoon Park.
I can't get hold of your sister so I'm calling you at home.
Is she home by any chance?
She just got a call and stepped out.
A call? Do you know where she went?
I think she's meeting someone at the cafe near the house.
Okay. Thank you.
Yes, Jaejoon.
Where are you?
I'm out to meet someone for a moment.
Who? My mom?
Well, she told me not to tell you.
Don't go.
Jaejoon.
I said don't go!
I'm on my way there so wait at home.
Okay.
How are you?
You recognize me when you saw me only once in Kaohsiung.
Yes.
Let's go in.
Go ahead.
Yes.
Thank you...
...for coming when I called and asked you to meet me abruptly.
Not at all. Of course I should come out. You're Jaejoon's mother.
You can talk casually and be at ease with me.
Ease with you?
Are we that familiar with each other?
Why do you think I wanted to see you?
Excuse me?
I doubt you came here without any thought.
Well, is this regarding my going out with Jaejoon?
You're right.
Do you think it is proper?
Tell me what possessed you to see my son.
Mother.
When you plant a seed and drop a needle from the sky,
...the odds of their encounter are the act of fate.
So? Are you saying you are meant for each other?
We parted in Kaohsiung without any promise...
...and then we met again by chance in Seoul.
Since we met after twists and turns, if you trust us and watch us,
...I want to go steady with him.
Do you know what his job is?
I was told he's a doctor.
Yet, you want to keep seeing him regardless of your class?
I don't think class is important in love.
But if it's a problem, I'll make effort and become a woman fit for Jaejoon.
Make effort?
What effort can you make to become fit for him?
Oh. I heard you're a cook at a TNC restaurant.
Are you going to make effort with it?
Mother.
I called you out today to talk about it.
Do you know Jaejoon's family background?
Excuse me?
Someone like you can't even stand in comparison with...!
Mom!
Let's get out.
Jaejoon.
You don't need to listen anymore. Let's get out.
Let go of her hand.
Let's go.
If you take her out, I'll tell her everything.
I'm going to tell her everything I told you last night.
Are you okay with that?
Ms. Kang, sit down. I'm not done.
You don't need to.
Stay outside.
Jaejoon, but your mother...
Just go stay outside!
You choose.
Shall I talk to her or will you break up with her?
Either way is fine with me.
If she finds out who got her a job in TNC and why her family should be kicked out,
...she won't be able to hold out.
You're really...
If you want to protect her pride and save her from a misery, you end it.
If you end it, nothing will change for her.
So make up your mind by today. Understood?
They say bread always falls buttered side down. It's so true to us.
How could this house be sold overnight?
My cousin living in the countryside called me.
He said there's a vacant house there.
Really? What kind of house is it?
It's a bit old but it's a solidly-built traditional Korean-style house.
Then why is the house vacant?
A visitor comes once in a while at night.
Visitor? What visitor?
A ghost of bachelor. He flies at any women he sees, saying...
'Honey, sleep with me. Sleep with me.'
Stop. That's scary. This is no time to joke around.
I cracked a joke to see you smile.
Anywhere will be a paradise to me if you are with me.
Stop.
-I'm back from school. -Hi.
Why are you holding each other's hands?
Oh, this?
We're going to arm-wrestle.
Hold the wrist.
Okay, okay.
Oh, my head...
Geez. It still stinks of liquor!
Have some hangover soup.
What's that for?
The man who brought you home last night asked me to do this.
Eat it while it's hot and chase that hangover.
The man who brought me home last night?
Guess it was Uncle.
[How to Become MC]
I even screwed up as a guest. To hell with MC.
Yes.
Now?
Yes, I can. I'll be right there.
This is the Advertising Agreement. Please look it over.
How's it going with what I requested?
Now that you're our advertiser, we should surely comply with your request.
Can I trust you?
I've already talked to the Entertainment Director. Let me check though.
Don't worry, I'm not that dull.
Hang up, she's here.
Have a seat.
Director, why do you...
You're lucky.
I thought you were a throw away card, but I decided to re-use you.
Sorry? You mean, I can be in a show again?
The part two of Healing Recipe Guest version.
Do it right this time.
Don't screw up like last time.
Thank you. I'll do a good job.
By the way, why are you giving me...
Do I have to report you in full?
No. Thank you so much for trusting me.
Sure. Do a good job.
I'm busy. You may leave.
Okay.
It may sound like an excuse, but I was so nervous last time.
But I'm confident this time.
I'll do a good job. You'll see Director.
Hi. I'll be on your show again.
I made a lot of mistake last time. I'll prepare a lot for...
Oh, my script and cue sheet.
Director, is it true we're shooting a second part of Lena Jeong's healing recipe?
Yes. So don't screw her up and be nice.
Who authorized it? I can't go on the air with her.
Viewer ratings were not bad.
Was that thanks to her?
I sweated hard to lead the speechless guest for an hour.
Unless you change the guest, I won't go on air.
I can't do that.
She was chosen from above.
Chosen? Who?
Tell me. Who's her sponsor?
An advertiser.
He demanded us to cast Lena Jeong for Healing Recipe.
How ridiculous. Who placed her on my show?
Yes, so do it right.
Don't get on the wrong side of the advertiser.
Well, that would be the only way for her to survive.
Unbelievable.
Get out. I have a headache.
Lena.
Since when have you been there?
Don't pretend innocence.
Mark my words.
I started as a anchor and have worked my way up.
I can't tolerate someone like you who uses her body rather than ability.
Prepare for hell this time.
Is it true?
Did an advertiser really put me back in?
If you came for this, take it and leave.
Is it true?
Are you giving me a second chance for the advertiser?
Who is it? Who the heck is the advertiser...?
Guess you know who it is.
There's only one that has interest in you. Your previous employer.
Is it Mr. Minjoon Park?
Yes.
In return for ads on our show, he requested us to cast you again.
You don't have to put on an act before me.
I don't have to see it to believe your relationship with him.
No. We're not in such a relationship. He's only...
Get out.
I don't have time to deal with your tantrums.
I won't do this.
Then you will believe I'm not that kind of woman.
I won't do it. I won't!
Wait.
Can I give you a piece of advice?
Despite your brilliance, showmanship and looks,
do you know why you're still like this?
It's because you didn't throw away one last thing.
One last thing? What is it?
Conscience.
You're ambitious more than anyone else, but act all so scrupulous.
Just think of success only and make one more step,
...and everything will go your way.
The recording is this Wednesday at 4.
Calm down. Anger isn't good for your skin.
Manager, find out who her sponsor is.
Post malicious comments on Lena Jeong on the Internet.
Malicious comments? What are you planning?
Just do it. Vicious comments.
Understand?
Yes.
I'll cut her off so she can't step back in this industry.
[Healing Recipe]
Throw away your conscience. Just think of success.
Yes.
I will throw away everything.
Where are you?
That's good, I'm at the broadcasting station too.
Can I see you for a minute?
What brings you here?
I had a meeting here. How about you?
I came for business, too.
I ruined a recording last time, but somehow, I was given a second chance,
...though I don't know why.
Really? That's good.
It's a bit too early, but how about dinner to celebrate?
No.
I want you to do something other than that.
What is it?
You'll see when we get there.
This is the Advertising Contract with NBC.
What's this?
Did we pay all this money?
Money doesn't grow on tree. When the company isn't doing well,
...why waste so much money on advertisement?
What's the reason?
Minjoon said he wouldn't go at it until yesterday.
Why did he change his mind?
Why can't you answer? What's the reason?
Forgive me.
Hang it. That's not what I want to hear.
Call Minjoon in right now.
This is nice. This too.
Show me shoes that'll go well with these.
Yes, ma'am.
Are you going to buy them all?
Of course. I was put to shame because of clothes last time.
I don't want to experience it again.
But this is...
I should invest at least this much to survive in the broadcasting.
These. I'll take all these.
Yes.
Why are you just standing there? You said you'll celebrate.
Pay for them.
Why don't you say anything?
You think you wasted money?
Don't worry.
I'll make it money well spent.
Let's go there.
[New York Hotel 10th Anniversary Package]
Aren't you coming in?
Why are we here?
You really don't know? I heard everything.
That you put an ad on Healing Recipe for me.
So I should give you something in return.
Lena.
The rumor's already spread that you're my sponsor. What's there to hesitate?
Come on.
What are you trying to do?
Look, I'm not a 20-year old girl.
After all, this is what you want.
Don't pretend as if you're different.
Though you act decent, you're the same.
How could you take my cordiality like this?
Cordiality? What cordiality?
Forget it.
Now I see clearly how you have lived.
I misunderstood you.
I won't care about you, so don't delude yourself.
Delude myself?
Then now we're even. Don't call me ever again.
Sangdo-dong, please.
I told you not to call me...
A woman like you...
will never understand what cordiality is and what love is.
Mr. Park.
Go with your ambition to the end.
And you'll see what will remain in your hands.
Fine, I too wonder what will remain in my hands in the end.
To the countryside?
Let's move to my hometown.
I did the leg work, but it's impossible to get a house with that money.
How can we make a living in the countryside?
Are you going to dig out sweet potatoes?
That's what I'm worried about.
We don't even have a small veggie patch.
I'm worried about Esol She barely got a job in this economy.
So I'm going to tell her to stay in Seoul and...
No. It's dangerous to leave her alone in Seoul.
I'll stay with her.
Dongu, let me live with you.
I don't want to say goodbye to my friends.
Let me live with Esol.
It's hard to get a job in the countryside.
Nonsense!
Are you saying I should live with Samshik alone in the country? Nonsense.
I'm sad if you say like that.
You don't like me?
Well, it's not that.
A family should live together.
Let's move to the countryside all together.
Don't we need to go home?
You have something to tell me, right?
Go ahead. I'm okay.
It's fine. Tell me.
Remember what I said on the beach the other day?
To do what I want to do, there are too many obstacles to overcome...
...so I'm scared.
Jaejoon.
I ended up losing.
I'm sorry.
I'm really really sorry. I...
...don't think I can...
...see you again.
I figured when your mother called me out.
It must have been hard on you.
You should have told me sooner. You didn't have to be in pain then.
I really want to hold onto you in my heart, but I won't.
Since I know how distressed you must've been and tormented...
...to reach this conclusion.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I was really happy because of you.
I will never forget you.
Let's break up with a smile as we first met.
Thank you for everything, 28 years old, Mr. Jaejoon Park.
The person you have dialed is not available.
Changsoo.
Yeah Heera, you called?
Minjoon isn't home yet, is he?
No.
I need to go to his office now.
At this late hour? Why?
I can't get hold of Jaejoon.
It seems he can't break up with the girl.
I must discuss her dismissal at the company.
Heera, let's wait a little more.
They deeply love each other. It's not easy for them to break up.
Give him a few more days so he can...
There's no point in dragging time!
His engagement is around the corner.
If it's broken off, who will take responsibility?
Jaejoon already lost favor with his father.
If his engagement is broken off, he'll get nothing and it'll be over.
Okay. I'll pull out the car.
Now we can't see each other again, can we?
I'll pray for your health and happiness.
Go first.
After I see you go in.
Goodbye then.
Where are you going in that attire this late?
To Taesoo's office to cut away a wen.
Wen? What do you mean? Is he having an affair?
-Let's go. -Yes.
Now leave Esol alone. I did as you told me.
-Changsoo. -Yes.
Call the realtor and cancel the contract.
You mean...
Hi, Doctor Choi. It's me.
There's good news.
Yura!
Seo Yura, what are you doing now?
Is she a pig or what?
Hey, stop eating.
Are you bent on getting fat?
Then what should I?
Since you suspended my credit cards, I can't do anything and I'm so stressed out!
Don't worry. You'll be busy from tomorrow.
Take the yoga class first and lose this belly fat.
What for? Who cares if I get a bit of a belly?
You do. Jaejoon said he'll marry you.
What? Did he break up with her? He surrendered?
Yes. He must be heartbroken.
Comfort him and make him yours.
The wound of love can only be cured by another love.
Yura, love flows.
Fighting!
Jaejoon Park, you idiot.
You spoiled my life, her life, and your life!
Such an idiot. Park Jaejoon.
[This picture will be deleted.]
[Okay]
It was the last touchstone of your ability. Now you're done for.
I'm done for?
Says who? Says who?
This Lena Jeong,
no, this Soojeong Yi, won't end up like this.
Mark my words.
I started as an anchor and have worked my way up.
I can't tolerate someone like you who uses her body rather than ability.
Prepare for hell this time.
Heeyon Jeong's Healing Recipe?
[Rainbow Pizza]
Heeyon Jeong, you'll see. You can never beat me this time.
[Lease]
We're not open yet.
Seems you're shutting down the restaurant.
The business is so slow that I'd better shut it down. I might suffer a total loss.
That's strange.
I thought you'd hit the jackpot after TNC copied your pizza.
You got a great plug thanks to that incident.
The half of it.
Customers rushed in at first, but it was forgotten quickly.
You should've made the pizza delicious.
Brilliant idea but poor taste. No wonder it failed.
What? Who are you?
You are...
Right. The promoter of the Rainbow Pizza.
Hey, get out! How dare you come here!
Calm down. I came to save your restaurant.
Esol.
Ms. Jeong.
Did you read the comments I told you about?
They're calling me a thief, and criticizing me still, aren't they?
This is too much. They post malicious comments, not knowing the truth.
So I'm not going to show up for shooting.
Ms. Jeong.
It seems people aren't interested in truth.
I really didn't mean this.
I was already forgiven by the originator of Rainbow Pizza but...
Really? Did you meet him in person?
I felt so guilty that I visited him the other day.
But since his pizza was really untasty,
...I visited him several times, taught him my recipe, and apologized.
I'm getting along with him like this.
My goodness.
You should've told this story on the air.
How could I have?
It's obvious Heeyon Jeong will distort my intention.
I'd rather give up shooting.
No. It's important to you. You need to show up and tell the truth.
You're such a nice person.
Oh. Let me show this picture to station's staff.
No, don't do that.
What time is your shooting?
Then just stay by my side.
That alone will be a great help to me.
Okay. I'll be there on time.
[Subtitles Provided by MBC]
You like him so much that you can't break up with him.
Why can't you say that?
I told you that if you make her cry, I won't forgive you!
Dongu!
You'll see I'm not who I used to be.
Are you serious with Lena Jeong?
She's not the woman I thought she was.
What are you doing?
I won't lay a finger on you. I'll just be your drinking buddy.
Once I get married, I'll leave for Qingdao and won't see her again.
You're not going to keep working here. Are you?
Seems this is our Lena's last broadcast.
Game isn't over. Put Esol Kang in.
Ms. Esol Kang.
