The sight of it makes me sick.
I say no to every last bit of your money.
So back off!
You don't need my money?
A sauna singing contest? I gave those up.
Gotta upkeep a certain image for my daughter's sake.
- Dad, why are you home so early? - I'll be right off the phone.
My husband? He's the average Joe.
You know Dream In? Yeah, he's the...
What was that for?
Did you drink? What about work?
What's up with him?
Hello, what brings you here?
I stopped by to ask you a question.
You should've called ahead.
How can I help you?
You performed surgery on Nurse Seo's father?
That's right, I did it myself.
- What kind of surgery? - For myocardial infarction.
He showed signs of complications after several attacks.
So has he fully recovered?
As long as he takes it easy and takes care of his health,
there's no need to worry.
So he could be in trouble again if sustains some trauma?
It's entirely possible.
- Why do you ask? - Oh, no reason.
I thought I should know since we'll be in-laws soon.
So both parties agreed to marry?
That depends.
I've gotta make it happen.
Yeah, I'm in front of the hospital.
Okay, take your time. Bye.
- Bring the car around. - Yes, ma'am.
Getting off work now?
Yes. I'm sorry about my father earlier.
I understand him, so don't worry about it.
Have time for some tea?
I'm sorry, I have a prior engagement.
That's too bad. See you soon.
What brings you here?
Visiting a sick friend.
What about you?
I have my reasons.
Where's your chauffeur?
I feel more comfortable on my own when I'm out for personal reasons.
Got something secretive going on that you want to hide?
- That's not it. - You're nothing with Na-kyeong.
I'm sure you already know that.
Just a little reminder. You are, after all, your father's son.
Don't worry. I'm not like him.
You coming out from your visit?
Yes.
What good timing. I had to talk to you anyway.
Come to my house. I have something for you to do.
What something?
You refusing?
I'll be there.
Let's go.
Please leave a message...
Pardon?
Ruin Mr. Seo's family?
He told me quite proudly today that he doesn't need my money.
I've gotta make him reconsider.
What do you need me to do?
Look into his financial affairs, particularly having to do with his friends.
Find any close friends who are in desperate need of money.
You're this desperate to marry Hyeong-woo off?
Why? Can't do this little thing for your own brother?
That's not the point here...
Will you or will you not do this?
I knew I couldn't depend on you to be his big brother.
That's that. You can leave.
I'll help you.
Hyeong-woo is my little brother.
He is, and I'm glad to hear you say it.
Hey, Hyeong-woo.
Long time, huh?
Very long time.
Who's this?
My nurse.
She's pretty.
You love her?
Do you even know what marriage is?
Hmm... marriage is...
never saying goodbye,
and staying together when happy, sad or sick.
In other words, you'll have to protect her forever.
Nurse Seo!
You're still here? Didn't you leave a while ago?
Waiting for a friend.
- You heading home? - Yup.
Good work today. Bye.
Bye, see you tomorrow.
Too many people I know pass by in front of the hospital.
I'll be waiting at the nearby park.
I can't believe you, Seo Eun-young.
You're nothing without Na-kyeong.
I'm sure you already know that.
What are you thinking?
Didn't you see my text? There were so many people...
I'm asking why you're waiting like this in the freezing cold!
I was worried when you didn't show up and didn't answer your phone.
Why wait around like an idiot for a person you can't get in touch with?
- Jeong-woo... - Don't wait around anymore.
Don't wait for me in the cold, and don't worry about me.
Got it?
No, I don't. You came, didn't you?
I waited five years for you. What are a few measly hours?
I thought you weren't coming. I thought you disappeared again.
I thought I'd never see you again if I just went home.
I'm freezing and I'm starving.
Let go.
You said you were freezing. I've gotta warm you up.
You awake?
I didn't sleep.
I was making up for all the lost hours, for all the trouble I caused you today.
So you could look at me all you want.
How generous you are.
Drive safely.
You'll catch a cold. Use an extra blanket tonight.
Watch it. You're talking to a registered nurse here.
Like I'd forget.
- Go on in. - You know what?
There's somewhere I want to go with you. Are you free tomorrow?
Where?
We can't just marry her off empty-handed.
You got an emergency stash?
Nope.
Then you should've just taken the money. Always so high and mighty...
Come again?
That money was clearly for the wedding preparataions.
She'd be pretty embarrassed if we prepared too shabbily.
What're you doing?
We're talking about Eun-young's wedding.
You know, your favorite person in the whole world.
That's enough. We're not marrying her off.
You going senile already?
And why not?
- It'll be a total loss. - How's it a loss?
If he needs his mother to find him a wife, he's already a hopeless case.
- Honey! - Man, you're loud.
Don't you dare say anything to Eun-young. I won't let you!
You and what army?
Ask any objective party who's being the idiot here, you or me.
So what if he's rich?
You want to sell her for a price without knowing squat about this guy?
You know something, don't you?
Is he a player? Or maybe a gambler?
How would I know?
Scared me there for a sec.
I don't expect much from you. Just don't ruin everything.
Marriage should be between two similar people.
Stop pushing for the impossible.
La-la-la, can't hear a word you say!
As long as he doesn't have two noses I'm going to push for this wedding!
You're such a...
- I'm home. - Good, I've been waiting.
We need to talk.
You're not young anymore. So why don't you wanna marry?
I don't love him.
You still talking about love after all you've been through?
Take a look at your track record.
I'm not gonna change my mind. Give up this marriage.
I agree. Love is absolutely vital when it comes to marriage.
You hush!
Time and money will lead to love.
Remember when we needed money for your father's surgery?
You said you'd do anything for a load of money.
Dad's life was in danger then.
That's money.
Money can save lives as well as kill.
Mom, if you knew about him, you'd never agree to this marriage.
I'm not stupid.
There must be a reason she's using money as a front.
So what is it that will make me reject her offer?
Let's not tell your mother all this. It'll just upset her.
Is he a player or a gambler?
That's not it at all.
Or is he a widower with two children?
Is that a good enough reason?
Divorce isn't such a shameful thing these days, I hear.
- Mom... - Wow, that's not what you told me.
You wouldn't even let me out of the house when I first got divorced.
You're the exception.
A happy marriage is the ideal, of course.
But there's a story behind every person's life.
Not like divorce is a disease. It's no reason to say no.
Mom, I'm an adult. I can choose my own husband.
So how do you explain meeting and living with that scumbag?
Mom, stop already.
Anyway, I'm going to push for this marriage, no matter what.
Go to bed.
You know how weak mom is when it comes to money.
It's me.
Did you look into it?
You chose someone good?
No, I'll meet him myself.
We'll continue this at the office. Bye.
Business talk so early in the morning?
Some leftover work from yesterday.
Will you be late tonight?
Tonight? I have a dinner engagement.
Mother's going out so I thought we'd have dinner together.
That sucks.
Sorry. You should meet up with some friends.
Get back in touch with people.
Don't worry, I'll figure something out.
Father, breakfast is ready.
He already left for work.
Already?
You know what an upright and self-righteous man he is.
Won't loaf around even a bit though his position allows for it.
I need to get going, too.
What about breakfast?
I'll eat at the hospital. Sorry.
- Make sure you eating something. - I will.
What's with them both?
Did you have to skip breakfast?
Didn't have much of an appetite. You heading to work?
Yeah.
You should tell the truth. I'll help you tell mom.
Don't do that.
I'll find another job soon enough, and then I'll tell her.
- I'm sorry, dad. - There you go again!
I won't say it again.
Do you have somewhere to go?
Worried I've got nowhere to go? I'm a popular guy, you know.
I have a security guard friend. He keeps asking me to come by.
- Your bus is here. Go on. - Okay.
- Dad, don't skip lunch, okay? - Hey! I have money.
Just take it. Bye!
Eun-young!
I'm not a father. I'm a leech sucking my daughter dry.
So who's the fella who drives the luxurious car?
It's too early for this, Nurse Bang.
Someone saw you get into such a car.
Did they now...
The head doctor's looking for you.
Then I should get going.
- Later, Nurse Bang. - Hey, Eun-young!
I'm sorry, but I didn't think you'd agree to meet me otherwise.
Excuse me, but I have no reason to be here.
I won't take long.
Please.
I'm listening.
You think I'm a snob who only cares for money?
You won't answer?
I'm sorry for everything I've done.
My husband betrayed me when Hyeong-woo was just four.
I lived off of alcohol and sleeping pills.
All Hyeong-woo could do back then was avoid me however he could.
I might've made him like that...
Ma'am...
Excuse me for being a selfish mother, and forgive me.
For a long time I've lived consumed by guilt.
So when I saw him happy for the first time, I went a little crazy.
Despite everything, you've loved him and protected him all these years.
You accept my apology?
I also apologize for being rude.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
And please tell your father that I'm very sorry.
I'll do that.
Mr. Gong Chun-sik?
I was a little intimidated when I heard the president was coming himself.
But you're my son's age.
You work for me now, Mr. Gong.
I've got a few ideas of my own if you insist on being so rigid.
Call me when you're ready then.
Dang, you got quite a temper there, young man.
You're close friends with Seo Ho-gu?
For sure, we grew up together in the same town.
Yet you're willing to trick such a close friend for money?
Geez, you know I'm in a tight spot right now.
Alright.
I put in more than promised. You can't go to him dressed like that.
Get cleaned up from head to toe.
Will do.
And you leave the country as soon as you're done.
If you ever come back and start trouble...
I can't promise your safety.
I-it's a d-deal.
You can leave now.
Yeah?
- You found the perfect guy? - Yes, I just met him.
Good. Make sure he stays in line.
- What is it? - Why let President Kang handle this?
Because he's Hyeong-woo's brother.
But...
Besides, his hands are dirty now. Could be useful in the future.
Are you his accomplice? Otherwise why let the thief go?
I didn't let him go. He was too strong.
This is why we need younger guards. I just don't feel safe with you.
- Let's request a change. - Yes, let's.
- I'm sorry. - That's not enough.
To keep your job, we have to be able to believe that you can handle the job.
I'm good at everything.
We're not hiring.
Look who it is! Is that you, Ho-gu?
Well I'll be! It's Chun-sik!
- Long time no see. - Too long.
You hit it rich running a restaurant?
I was lucky. This was after getting rejected everywhere for being old.
But then I thought, carpe diem. I invested my entire retirement fund.
God was on my side.
That isn't good luck. You were rewarded for working hard.
And how are you doing these days?
You know.
Just rollin' along.
Don't hesitate to ask me if you ever need my help.
Man, it's been a long time.
Drink up. I'll take you home safely.
Thanks.
So...
- Chun-sik? - Spit it out.
- Never mind. - Don't be like that.
We're friends, aren't we? Spill it already.
By any chance, do you have a job opening at your grilled beef restaurant?
I can help with the valet parking or carry hot coals around.
Oh dear. We filled every open position last spring.
And I can't just fire someone.
Oh, of course not.
I shouldn't have said anything. Forget that I just said that.
I've got a better idea. Why don't you open a diner?
- A diner? - Yeah.
A friend of mine made a ton of money from the food business.
He's moving to a bigger place so he's selling one of his locations.
I don't have the money for that.
C'mon, you think I started out using just my money?
Take out a small loan and borrow what you can.
I'll help you out with what you lack.
I appreciate the offer, but...
Don't give up before you try. Why don't we just go look at the place?
- No, that's okay. - I'm telling you, it's a great spot.
I have a final favor to ask.
Go ahead.
Hyeong-woo refuses to eat and just stares blankly out the window all day.
I think he's waiting for you.
He needs the opportunity to say goodbye to you.
Can you spare some time to stop by?
