(Episode 81) -Completed Episode- www.facebook.com/IKSubs Aran.
It was me.
It was my fault.
What happened?
I...
You caused this.
If it hadn't been for you,
I wouldn't have had to go that far.
Please calm down and explain.
You shouldn't have made that wine.
You shouldn't have taken
mom's notebook and
made that wine like a know-it-all.
I don't understand.
Why shouldn't I have made
the wine and what's wrong?
Never mind.
What good would it do?
It's all over now.
If you don't tell me,
I'll look into it myself.
Look into what?
Don't be stupid.
You can't drive in the state you're in.
Calm down.
Tell me what's wrong.
I'll help you if I can.
Be quiet.
Aran...
Oh, right. Thanks for the wedding invitation.
You said you wanted my blessing.
Congratulations.
Be quiet.
That's not important right now!
We'll tackle whatever it is together.
I'll help you.
I must run away.
I must run far, far away.
I don't know what I've done.
Tell me.
Why are you acting like this?
Master Kim...
No, forget it.
This won't do.
I'll ask him myself.
(Master Kim Yonggap)
It's Master Kim.
What?
No, don't answer.
No. No way.
Did you get into an argument with him?
Did something happen?
No.
Get out.
Aran.
I said, get out!
It was your fault.
You slipped and fell on your own.
Punggildang will host
the next Wine Restoration Conference as well.
We must make up
for our mistake somehow.
Yes. I'll draw up a plan.
- It's Ms. Bae Gukhui! / - It's Ms. Bae Gukhui!
What happened?
Did Punggilang really add
artificial sweetener to its wine?
Hang on.
We don't sell that wine commercially.
It was made for research purposes.
But it was presented officially at a conference.
Is there artificial sweetener
in Punggildang's 100% natural wines?
Of course not.
It was just a mix-up during
a conference.
Please let us through.
Wait, Ms. Bae.
Will there be an official explanation?
In due time...
Official explanation?
Punggildang did nothing wrong,
so what's there to explain?
Excuse us.
But you must have something to say.
- Your comment, please. / - Just a short one.
Are your products defective?
After presenting a restored wine flavored
with artificial sweetener,
Punggildang has been silent.
Anxiety is growing among consumers,
who want safe and reliable food and drinks.
Geez.
What are they saying?
What was put in the wine?
She's dedicated her life to traditional wines.
Artificial sweetener is out of the question.
You know how
she scours the nation
for fresh, seasonal ingredients.
She even lost her child due
to her dedication to traditional wines.
Now, she's about to lose it all in one fell swoop.
Oh, my goodness.
Years of trials and tribulation for nothing.
They're talking about Punggildang on the news.
I'm going in to rest.
She's so dejected.
Aran, did something happen at the office?
We're not sure.
The wine Bom restored seems problematic.
I knew it.
Bom's brought this family nothing but misery.
Good grief.
You're way out of line.
Take this back!
Take it back!
But Master Kim...
Take it! Take it back!
Choi Aran!
If you don't tell Ms. Bae,
I'll have to!
I don't know what happened.
I didn't do anything.
I saw you tainting the wine
with your mean spirit.
How dare you lie to me?
No, I didn't do it!
I didn't kill him.
It wasn't me!
You haven't seen him since yesterday?
No.
He's a very conscientious.
It's strange he left all his fishing gear behind.
Geez.
Oh, right.
Here.
He tried calling your number many times.
Did you notice anything unusual as you were
prepping for the conference?
No.
Nothing out of the ordinary...
The truth is, it tasted...
Maybe the flavor changed
while the wine was being stored.
Naturally fermented wines
are prone to changes in flavor.
Maybe Bom
made a mistake as she was making it.
Are you saying she added the artificial sweetener?
That's not what I mean.
Master Kim tasted it and
said it was a properly restored wine.
And you said Bom
went away overseas.
So did Bom fly back and
put artificial sweetener in the wine?
Master Kim hasn't been answering his phone.
I say this with caution,
but maybe he had something...
Taeho,
don't jump to conclusions.
Where is Aran anyway?
Master Kim is no longer of this world anyway.
He can take the blame for Punggildang's sake.
The recipient is unavailable. After the beep...
Master Kim still isn't answering.
Let's go see him.
I hope nothing is wrong.
I'm worried that he might
disappoint you.
Ms. Bae, are you going somewhere?
The wine restoration lab.
In case Master Kim is there.
I'll accompany you.
Let's go.
Where could he have gone
when he must know of our troubles.
The secretary's office is searching high and low,
so we'll find him soon.
Not if he's deliberately avoiding us.
It doesn't look like he's been here,
so let's go.
Wait.
What's all this?
Artificial sweetener and food coloring...
What are they doing here?
Why would anyone use those in Punggildang?
Master Kim has been restoring wines here
until recently.
Oh, no, Ms. Bae.
How can Master Kim let us down like this?
(Punggildang presents artificially sweetened wine)
(Loss of corporate ethics)
This is a first in the 30 years
I've led Punggildang.
I don't know what to do.
Given how fast this
has spread via news outlets and online,
I wonder if Master Kim was bribed
by our competitor to taint our wine.
You know he's not like that.
We'll keep looking for Master Kim
and get news outlets to retract
speculative stories.
Why don't we ask
for a police investigation?
A police investigation?
That'll reflect on Punggildang badly.
Our image could be tarnished in an instant.
No way.
(Loss of corporate ethics!)
(Punggildang presents artificially sweetened wine)
What happened?
Maru.
This is the wine I made, right?
Baeksuhwandongju.
Don't worry.
I know it wasn't you.
I swear I didn't use any artificial sweetener.
You saw me.
We got that special yeast,
organic sticky rice,
and spring water, and adjusted
the temperature and humidity
according to Ms. Bae's notes.
The company knows it wasn't you.
So what's with this article?
How can this be?
Master Kim is suspected of adding artificial
sweetener to the wine.
What are you talking about?
Why would he do that?
No way.
He'd never do such a thing.
Frankly, I suspect it was Ms. Choi.
Stop it.
You know how much the company means to her.
I know she's been mean to me
and is on bad terms with you,
but she'd never jeopardize Punggildang.
Then what happened with the wine?
There has to be a plausible explanation.
I'm sure there is.
Aran...
Aran didn't do it.
I'm in front of Punggildang.
I need to see you.
Let's talk in person.
I have nothing to say to you.
The wine I made was fine.
And Master Kim would never tamper with a wine.
I must know what happened.
Whatever.
Butt out.
You left the company on your own volition.
You were acting strangely yesterday.
You know something, don't you?
No, I don't.
Don't call me again, Bom.
Aran,
were you talking to Bom?
Mom.
Yes.
Where is she?
What did she say?
She said she was doing well
overseas and apologized,
saying she won't be making it to my wedding.
I asked her to come home,
but she was being stubborn,
so I yelled at her a bit.
Call her back.
Go on.
I'll wait for you...
She's turned her phone off again.
I don't know why she's causing me so much grief.
What do you want to know?
Someone saw Master Kim talking to
a young woman at a fishing spot
right before his disappearance.
Was that young woman you?
You're framing me
for the mess you caused?
I know what you did.
When you quit your job and left home,
you tainted the wine out of spite.
I never did such a thing.
Right, I know.
I'm just so frustrated, that's all.
Ms. Choi,
wire me $1 million
if you want to save Punggildang.
Master Kim asked me for $1 million.
No, he didn't.
Master Kim would never do such a thing.
Bom, the company's in trouble.
Can't you come back?
Come and make good wine
and help me.
I'm sorry.
I'm not going back,
neither to work nor home.
Okay.
I understand how hard it must have been for you.
But what about Punggildang?
I'm so worried.
Don't worry.
The truth will soon come to light.
Maru,
Midal and I decided to get married.
You and I share quite a history.
Maybe you came into my life
to eventually become my son.
I may have been rather mean to you.
Will you forget all that?
Yes. Let's make this work.
Forgive me for having been a bad father,
and let's get a fresh start.
I wish you two happiness.
Wow.
I feel like a million bucks to have
my son's blessing.
When Bom comes back to Korea,
just be good friends.
That's right.
Master Kim's still not picking up, right?
I've been asking around...
But there's a problem.
People are saying Master Kim was bribed
by our competitor to taint the wine.
No way.
Where has he gone at a time like this?
But Bom,
your mom and my dad have gotten very close, and...
Let's talk about that later.
I have a lot on my mind.
Yes, Mr. Yang.
What?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Why? What is it this time?
Things have gotten very serious.
There's a movement to boycott us until
all Punggildang wines have been tested.
That's terrible.
Go to the office.
I'll call you.
Okay.
Wait. Who is that?
Isn't that Bom?
Bom!
Mom.
Oh, my goodness. It's Bom.
Bom!
Sorry, mom.
Bom!
Hey! Hey!
Where's my Bom?
Where did you hide her?
Stop it, Ms. Lee.
What's with this woman again?
Bom's having a grand time abroad.
Why look for her here?
Midal,
Bom's enjoying a glass of wine
on a picnic blanket under the Eiffel Tower.
Stop spouting utter nonsense.
Listen.
I swear I saw Bom on the streets just now.
You must have been mistaken.
That's impossible.
I'm not like you.
I can recognize my own daughter.
CEO lady,
why are you hiding my Bom?
What's your sinister motivation?
What's going on?
Bom is in Korea?
She called earlier from France saying she's well.
But I saw her with my own eyes.
She darted off when she saw me.
You were mistaken.
Why would she avoid you?
This is offensive
when Bom's doing well abroad.
Oh, my goodness.
I saw her.
I swear!
Enough, Midal. Let's go home.
- But... / - Mom, I'm off.
But I swear.
Why does Bom keep lurking about instead of
making herself scarce?
If Gukhui would just give us money,
we could get lavish gifts for the groom's
so that Aran can hold her head up high.
Mom, I'm sorry you had to dip into your savings.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
How will you do that?
Once Aran gets married and
Gukhui's anger subsides,
I'll get it back from Gukhui,
so don't you worry.
I'm upset at you and Jeonggi.
Huh?
I know Jeongmi and I eloped,
but I never got any gifts.
Seriously, Baedal?
What did you get my family?
We agreed on no gifts.
I may have said that,
but you only get married once.
Midal and I would've liked such gifts.
So is Midal mean to me because
she got nothing from us?
She's not mean to you.
That's enough.
Keep it down.
What if Gukhui hears?
We have to prepare the groom's gifts
quietly behind closed doors.
This is it?
Good grief.
Not even a designer purse?
They didn't have the time to get one.
I'll take you shopping one of these days.
You can pick one out for yourself.
Never mind.
It's not that I want a purse from your family.
I'm just worried for you.
Taeho's aunts, uncles, and
other relatives are
so excited that Taeho's
marrying a Punggildang heiress.
But if you come empty-handed,
they'll think little of you and
badger you until the end of time.
Mom, who cares about these things?
What counts is our happiness as a couple.
That's right, mother.
Marriage is the union of two families
and an exchange between households.
But this is very disrespectful
to our family and household.
What's going on here?
Why did you bring these back?
I won't be accepting these.
What do you mean?
I know these aren't much, but
we'd like you to accept them.
No, I don't think so.
Rather than taking these refugee aid packages
as groom's family gifts from the CEO of Punggildang,
it would be better to tell people that
both families decided to keep it simple.
What are you talking...
What did you do behind my back?
Aran was to get married after Bom...
Forget all that.
I'll let Aran marry on her and Taeho's terms.
Your resistance is futile.
Jeonggi...
Wedding gifts are being exchanged.
Were you the only one still wavering
on Aran's marriage?
Good grief.
Do what you will.
Let Aran marry or
drag her out of the wedding hall.
Wait, Ms. Yun!
Take your mother and move out.
Please do that.
- Gukhui! / - Gukhui.
Gukhui, that was really harsh.
It's one thing to throw a fit
at your husband,
but kicking out your mother-in-law?
How can you be so heartless?
You drove Bom out
almost as soon as
we added her to the family registry.
And now you're driving out Jeonggi and me?
Please stop breaking my heart, mother.
Don't you recall what you and Jeonggi
did to Bom?
What did I do?
It's your attitude that
has chased away all the good fortune
and put your company in shambles.
Mother.
Stop it, mom.
This apartment is unoccupied.
Gukhui.
Even if I leave,
I won't be kicked out.
I'll leave on my own volition!
How could you...
I really hate you, Gukhui.
Midal.
Midal, did you see the news?
It's really bad.
Punggildang is in serious trouble.
She put her company even before
her long-missing daughter,
so how could this happen?
Bom will remember to get me
a souvenir, right?
I'm not talking about Punggildang.
I'm talking about you.
I think Mr. Kang is a con artist.
I won't let you keep
badmouthing Taejun.
A con man who pulled off scams worth
millions in South America
is back in Korea
pulling similar scams here.
Look at the article.
Stop it, okay?
What did I say?
I'm not even hoping for your blessing.
Just stop standing in my way.
You two live as you will,
and I'll do the same.
No, wait.
When the police took Uncle Baedal,
Mr. Kang had a lawyer
and was chummy with the police.
There's something to him.
He's no average joe.
My thoughts exactly.
Stop doubting a kind, gentle man.
Pull out all my South American investments.
Put $5 million liquid cash in private equity funds.
Then, look for a suitable company
and buy some stocks with the $10 million.
Okay.
Midal.
Why were you talking
about millions of dollars like chump change?
It's nothing.
I was just joking around with a friend.
You're so silly, Taejun.
I don't think you were joking around.
What is this?
I'm not educated enough
to make all of this out,
but I know what these figures mean.
This looks like a paper trail of money transfers.
Good grief. It's nothing.
Then why are you hiding it?
Taejun, let me ask you something.
I know you came to Korea to
look for your son, but
what did you do in South America?
Oh, um...
See? See?
He can't tell you what he was doing.
Dude, are you a con man?
You're out of line.
Then why can't you tell us?
Are you doubting me too, Midal?
No, it's not that.
But we don't know each other that well.
Is that how you see me?
I may have hurt those closest to me,
but I'm not a lowlife scammer.
How can we believe you?
Taejun.
I thought that if no one else,
you saw me for who I was.
I'm very upset.
I'm sorry.
I'm very confused myself.
Midal.
Midal!
Midal, let's not be like this.
Let's not play games like young people.
Taejun.
I'll tell you my story in due time.
But there's nothing seedy, so
please don't worry.
Even if we start now,
we only have half as much time as
those who've met earlier in their lives.
We're pressed for time, just being in bliss.
I'm sorry, Taejun.
And thank you.
Before our wedding,
should we invite the family
and exchange vows?
Exchange vows?
I told you not to show yourself.
You're still cocky, which means
Ms. Bae doesn't know yet
who abandoned her daughter.
I read that Punggildang is teetering.
Sell me the wine recipes and
get off this sinking ship.
Enough with your nonsense.
Show me the recipe for yeonmiju,
the most popular Punggildang wine.
I can make some money off it.
Listen.
Do you actually think I'd give you that?
You don't have Ms. Bae's notebook
or any other proof.
Stop your nonsense and get lost.
The notebook wasn't the only evidence I had.
What do you mean?
Did you think it was all over?
Think about why I've come back to you
even without the notebook.
Can we talk?
I don't know what you want,
but I'm busy.
You asked Mr. An for the yeonmiju recipe, right?
What are you talking about?
When did I ask for such a thing?
What's the proof you have?
What were you talking about?
You want to see the proof
that will take An out, don't you?
Then look for it back there.
Hey, wait.
Who does that youngling think he is?
Hey! Hey!
Let me out!
(An Taeho, Choi Aran)
Mom, you know
how much I love Taeho.
I'll make you proud.
Can't you let me have my way just this once?
Can't I ask you for a favor?
Marrying Taeho is risky and reckless.
Let's call it off.
Love alone can't sustain a marriage.
Geez, mom.
Aran...
(An Taeho, Choi Aran)
How are you? Welcome.
Congratulations.
Hello.
Congratulations.
How are you?
Thank you for coming.
This way.
You look so beautiful, Aran.
You look like an angel from heaven.
You look like a princess.
You look prettier than Princess Elsa.
Thank you.
Where's mom?
She's not here yet?
If she was going to come, she'd already be here.
Stop waiting.
What can you do?
The wedding's about to start.
They want the family to be seated.
Okay.
See you inside, Aran.
Don't let your nerves get the better of you.
Master Kim.
(An Taeho, Choi Aran)
Thanks for coming.
I came to tell you this.
I knew you and Taeho would get married.
You've always been a great pair.
If I upset or hurt you in any way,
please let it go and be happy.
I've already moved past that.
I should get going.
I'm not ready to see the family yet.
Congratulations once again.
Bom.
The truth is, Master Kim...
Never mind.
Thanks for coming and congratulating me.
Bom!
