Darnit, dad's dead set on wasting a talent like me in a small-time diner.
- He's really going to do it? - Yeah, he went to sign the contract.
- Hey, is that a new necklace? - Huh?
- Oh, just something I had. - I've never seen it before.
- Your guy buy it for you? - Yeah.
He probably can't afford the real thing, but dang, it looks real.
Already assuming things about your future brother-in-law?
Something must've happened last night. Did he propose or something?
Close enough.
For real? But why a necklace and not a ring?
Does it really matter?
Too bad he isn't the heir to Dream In. That necklace could've been real.
- Dad? - Come in.
What is it?
Dad, you really want to run a diner?
The diner part's not important. I just want to make some money.
Your mother would love that.
Here, take this.
What is this?
It isn't much. I'll try to borrow more from the bank.
Put it away. I've already taken far too much from you.
Besides, you'll need money to get married.
I can wait for you to make money and throw me a huge wedding.
Then I'll shamelessly take it. I'm going to pay it back.
- With lots of interest. - Of course.
So when are you going to bring him home?
I'll talk to him.
We'll be super busy with the diner soon.
You can bring him today, if you can.
I'll ask.
Our sales keep dropping with President Kang in charge.
The employees aren't too happy, either.
That always happens with a change in administration.
- And Mr. Seo? - He's signing the contract today.
Call Nurse Seo's home.
I want to talk to her mother.
You went from having a rich son-in-law to being a diner cook.
I'd be devastated, too.
You throwing fuel on this raging fire?
You can tell me the truth. You're ashamed, aren't ya?
You told the whole neighborhood about the Dream In heir.
Whatcha gonna do now?
You little...! When I get my hands on you..!
While you're up, get something to eat.
- I'm heading out. - You little...!
What a bother.
Hello?
This is Na Jin-sun. Who's this?
Chairwoman Shin?
Ma'am, your guest.
I'm sorry for bringing you all the way out here.
It's alright. Your car was comfy.
Please have a seat.
Shall we bring in the food?
The lunch meal is good here. Is that alright with you?
I need to talk to you before we eat.
- We'll eat later. - Yes, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
I hope you can understand me as a fellow mother.
Bowing and scraping already?
I'm sorry I didn't tell you from the start.
So you found out that our kids aren't dating.
That was your mistake. So why fire my husband?
Um, I think there was a misunderstanding.
He handed in his resignation.
And I still want your daughter to marry my son.
You do? But you told Eun-young that the marriage was off...
Your husband and daughter seemed too pressured by my proposal.
So I just took a step back.
I didn't know what else to do, with his resignation and all.
But... but...
Mom, Dad. I already have someone I want to marry.
Oh, this is bad.
I didn't know. I'm so sorry.
No, no, you had a good reason to misunderstand.
Now that I know the truth, I'll take care of things.
Eun-young's a good girl that listens to her mother.
So you're for this marriage?
Of course. It's everything I could hope for...
Of course our kids should have a say in the matter.
Except we know what's best for them.
That's true.
There's coffee spilt all over the floor.
Hey, you're here. So sorry.
I want to show you around but it's crazy busy in there right now.
Don't worry about it. Wow.
Wow, this is amazing.
It's enough to survive and save some.
So, you made up your mind? Let's go sign that contract.
But the thing is, I brought all that I could,
but I'm still lacking 20 grand.
Can you help me out?
I totally want to help you, but there's a bit of a problem.
What problem?
My money's tied up right now so I tried to borrow from my brother-in-law.
- But he's being petty about it. - He is?
So what now?
How about we use the deed to your house?
We'll get a loan using it.
The deed to my house?
It's just a formality until my money loosens up.
But it's my house...
Look, it was a bad idea.
I understand you could be uneasy about using it.
Forget about it. I'll get the money from elsewhere.
No, no, I can't let you do that.
It's just a formality, right? I'll go get it right now.
You sure about this?
Yeah.
This is for you.
Oh no. I can't take this.
Please don't refuse. It's my gift to you as your in-law.
My in-law?
What... is it?
It's an apartment not too far from where you live.
Oh no, I can't take this.
Think of it as your husband's severance pay.
He'll kill me if he finds out.
And how will he find out if you don't tell him?
I don't mean anything else by it.
If you're settled, Eun-young won't feel so uneasy about leaving her family.
Eun-young's so blessed to meet a mother-in-law like you.
You flatter me.
- Ah, yes. - Right here. Seal it.
Okay.
This is great! Now you just sit back and rake in the dough.
I can only hope.
I'll have to work hard.
You've got yourself a great friend here.
You're getting this place so cheap.
Thank you so much.
How are the renovations going?
Just do everything according to my instructions.
Yes, the material for the art studio will be coming in tomorrow.
I'll leave it in your hands. Bye.
Hey, what are you doing?
Taking a break after lunch. Did you eat?
I did.
You free tomorrow evening?
You asking me out on a date? I'm a busy guy, you know.
My father wants to meet you.
You there?
I'm here.
I realize it's a bit sudden, but you have to, sooner or later.
I told him tomorrow's okay. Is that okay with you?
I... don't know. I don't have the guts to face them after what I did...
No need to worry. They don't know that it was you.
I don't want to lie to them, but they'll just misunderstand.
Can we push it back a little? I don't think...
I've let them down time after time.
So let me do this. Please.
Fine.
Thanks.
You're welcome. Talk to you later.
Come in.
Sir, Gong Chun-sik is here to see you.
- Let him in. - Yes, sir.
Good to see you again, sir.
What are you doing here?
Man, you've got guts the size of a nut.
People don't know me. They won't suspect a thing.
What brings you here?
We already deposited the money into your account.
Do you... know a man named Ahn Sang-cheol?
How do you know Secretary Ahn?
Tsk, tsk, I knew it.
He's been looking me up on the sly, so I came to ask what that's about.
Me? I can just leave the country.
But you, you're in a more vulnerable position, ain't you?
You keep your promise and let me worry about that.
Don't you worry. I'm a man of my word.
But I've thought hard about the whole thing.
And realized that I don't work for you.
We're more like partners.
Partners who live together... and die together.
I'll be going then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Na Jin-sun. So it's really mine?
I'm home.
La la la~ Oh, you're home.
Hi, mom.
- What did you hide there? - Hide? Me?
So you caught me with my secret stash of sweets.
I see.
- Um... - Aren't you gonna change?
Mom, he's coming over tomorrow.
Why's he coming here? You gonna disregard my opinion?
Mom, this is the person I love. Can't you give in just once?
Forget it. He's not stepping a foot into this house, and that's that.
That's big talk coming from you. Who says this is your house?
I'm the one who scraped and saved. This is as much mine as yours.
Go on and get changed.
Okay.
You bring him here and I'll be the one to leave!
Geez, really...
Can't you see how happy she is?
Dunno. Don't care.
It's been 5 years.
I was afraid she'd wither away alone and an old maid.
So basically he saved my daughter's life.
Why a driver, of all the things? There's an heir waiting to take her away.
Quiet! You're really pushing it.
Huh. Look at her sulk...
Mom...
I'll meet him once for your sake. But not twice.
Thank you.
And no dinner. Tell him to eat beforehand.
Yes, ma'am.
- Where's the chairwoman? - In the study.
She's with Secretary Ahn. Want something to drink?
I'm fine. Go about your work.
Yes, sir.
She's waiting for you.
Mr. Ahn?
Do you do everything she orders?
Yes, I do.
I envy her.
Don't keep her waiting.
Come in.
Gong Chun-sik left for Thailand today. He won't come back.
No need to report that case to me anymore.
- You're finally trusting me? - Yes, I am.
I'm sure you took care of it for your brother. Good job.
Thank you.
So what happens to Seo Ho-gu now?
You needn't worry. He'll get tenfold what he lost in this.
In return for his daughter marrying Hyeong-woo?
If all goes well.
The oil companies...
purification... this year...
It's warm milk. Drink it before sleeping.
Didn't I tell you to acknowledge when people come in?
Yes.
It'll all end soon. Just a bit more.
Hyeong-woo, you know what marriage is?
Marriage is never saying goodbye.
Staying together when happy, sad or sick.
Protect her forever.
When did you become a man?
Mature enough to get married.
Mommy. I can't breathe.
Hyeong-woo can't breathe.
Sales went down after getting rid of the discount counters.
We're getting a lot of complaints.
So disgruntled employees asked you to pass on these complaints to me?
No, I'm just telling you my opinion...
That's enough. Leave.
Yes, sir.
I've let them down time after time.
So let me do this. Please.
- Hi. - Come by six.
I'm gonna cook chicken just the way you like it.
Sounds delicious.
I'll call you when I'm near.
Bye.
I'm home.
Big whoop.
I was planning to make the same dish. Do we think alike or what?
Is it one of his faves?
- Mom... - This is for our family, not him.
You can make his for all I care.
But yours tastes better.
Get off me.
Something smells great!
You pulled out the big guns for your future son-in-law, eh?
Future son-in-law, my arm!
Screw it. You can finish cooking.
She always stomps off in a huff after she finishes everything.
- Let's set the table. - Okay.
- Hello? - Where are you?
At work. Where else?
Mother and I just bought some fresh fish. You gonna be late?
A little. Got a ton of work left.
There goes the special dinner I planned.
Can't be helped.
Sorry. Bye.
I'm starving. Why isn't he here yet?
It's a sign and I'm glad. Go bring the rice.
Hold on, we'll wait a little longer.
Why should we? I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
This just shows what kind of guy he is.
- Let's just eat. I'll get the rice. - Let me do that.
- You go give him a call. - Good idea.
Start without me.
Seriously, why you gotta be like that?
Like what?
Sorry, but I'm not ready to meet your parents yet.
How was it?
It had a clean aftertaste for a seafood soup.
What's your say?
- Dear? - Yes?
How was the soup? I remember you liked it back in England.
Ah, well, it was good.
I thought you said you were gonna be late.
I was so hungry I couldn't focus.
- How about some coffee? - I'll go make some.
- I'll take mine in my study. - Sure.
Really, you can't spend the time to drink coffee with us?
When else are we gonna talk?
I'm busy.
I want to tell you it's okay... but I can't.
That would be a lie.
Oh, you going somewhere?
I've gotta head back to work.
Can't stop thinking about the work I left behind.
Fine then, go.
Sorry.
You've been saying that a lot these days.
Guess I'm a bad husband.
You say that because you don't know how attractive a hard-working man is.
Thanks.
I'm at the park.
He texted you?
Bo-young, can you finish up here?
I'll handle it. You go give him hell.
- Don't let him get away with it. - Fine, I'll go show him who's boss.
Yeah, right.
Eun-young.
You're really upset, aren't you?
Sorry.
I know I'm the bad guy here.
What'll make you feel better? Wanna punch me?
That's a good idea. Go ahead, give it to me good.
Don't wanna hit me? How about I go ram something?
- I'll do it. - Stop it.
Whew, thanks for stopping me.
I'm such a fool.
Eun-young...
- I'm sorry about today... - It was too soon.
You felt pressured.
You needed more time.
Eun-young?
You said it had to be me.
That you didn't care who I've become.
Did you mean it?
I did.
That's enough.
For what?
Let's go on a trip tomorrow.
- A trip? - Yeah.
We never went on a trip together.
What about your job?
My boss went on a business trip abroad.
I'm all clear. You can't make it?
No, I can.
I'll go tell the hospital in the morning.
Then I'll go pick you up at the hospital.
Okay.
You should've told me sooner.
It was scheduled suddenly. Besides, it's only one night.
Japan, right? You going with the team in charge?
No, by myself.
By yourself?
It's not an official business trip. I'm going to meet privately with Sato.
Why? Are things not going well?
That's not it, so don't worry.
You're working so hard.
I'm fine.
My phone won't be working there so don't try to call.
- I'll call you. - Okay, have a safe trip.
I will.
- Where are we? - I have no clue.
I just followed the road.
It's so beautiful. I wonder who lives here.
Beats me.
- You wanna live here? - Yeah.
If only for a day.
What good would a day be? How about we just buy the place?
In your dreams.
You don't think I can do it?
C'mere.
Where are you going?
No one seems to be home.
- Let's go. What if the owners show up? - Just a peek.
Wow, this place is great.
Shall we ask to spend the night?
Stop joking around. We need to leave.
No one's gonna come, so relax.
A friend left the place in my charge while he went abroad.
It's free. I just have to watch over it.
Jeong-woo!
Close your eyes.
Don't wanna. I don't trust you.
You'll regret it if you don't.
- Close them. - No.
Turning right. Don't open them yet.
One... two... three!
Jeong-woo, what is all this?
I told you I'll do everything for you.
You've always wanted an art studio.
We're not far from Seoul, so we can stop by when we want.
Art isn't created in a dark and loud city like Seoul.
I...
I don't know what to say.
