- Move away. - I won't.
Move it.
Oh my goodness. How can you push her?
- Are you okay? - Stay right there, Ms Ok.
You little jerk.
- What's wrong with her? - What did you say?
Stop it!
Wait.
Apologise before you leave.
Oh my gosh.
Don't they look familiar?
They do.
Who do you think you are?
What's wrong with her?
You're not leaving without an apology.
- Oh my gosh. - Mother.
Mum!
- Apologise. - What are you doing?
- Let go. - Stop it.
Hey, Jae Min.
- Let go of her. - Let me tell you.
She completely looked down on Ms Ok just because she's from Jongno.
They said Min Ho ruined the academy's quality.
Let go, please.
- Come on. - Goodness.
She pushed me first.
Do you know who I am?
Excuse me, if you pushed her first,
you should apologise and leave.
She's a feisty woman,
so you just leave if you don't want to be sued.
My tail bone hurts.
Your tail bone? Why?
Let's go.
What will you do about this?
Her tail bone hurts!
- Are you okay? - Mum, are you all right?
Why?
My goodness.
Now you come all the way to Daechi-dong to find trouble?
They picked on my in-law first.
Stop with that in-law thing.
She's not our in-law.
How did you find us?
We came to talk to Min Ho's academy teacher.
You should go on home. I'll take Min Ho back.
- Okay. Let's go, Ms Ok. - Let's go.
I got hungry after I put up that good fight.
Let's find out how delicious noodles in Gangnam are.
Bye, now.
Goodbye.
Whose mum was that?
She was amazing.
I'm so thankful for her.
She came all the way here to take my mother's side.
My goodness.
I'm so embarrassed.
This is truly a war.
How can they discriminate between towns?
It's not like they helped our poor neighbourhood.
I feel so much better thanks to you.
Ms Ok, I believe the scariest thing in this world is...
having prejudice against someone.
Things like this. "Poor kids are ignorant."
"All stepmothers are evil."
"People who grew up without parents are ill-mannered."
If you think prejudice is bad,
why were you so against your son taking his childcare leave?
That's true.
Is it because she's only your daughter-in-law?
She's not your real daughter.
You'll know what it feels like when the problem is yours.
I couldn't bear the thought when it was actually him doing it.
I don't think like that any more, though.
All mothers with a son would've felt the same.
I didn't do that...
because I wasn't fond of Mi So.
Mi So grew up without her parents,
but she respects the elderly,
she loves her husband and raises her children well.
Even when I get a bit offensive,
she takes it so well.
There's no one else like her.
While we're at it,
may I ask you for a favour?
Please love Bang Geul.
Don't hate her because she's a girl.
My goodness.
I'm a bit disappointed.
Bang Geul's my grandchild, too.
Why do you keep calling her a useless daughter, then?
It's because...
I was...
a useless daughter.
After I got married,
I never sent a penny...
to my mum.
I resent myself for that.
I'm actually calling myself a useless daughter.
My gosh.
I'll stop playing the bad daughter.
What do you mean by playing?
My gosh.
My dear Ms Ok, you're so slow.
I'm saying that I am pretending.
Oh, I see.
I thought you wanted noodles.
Why did you come home?
I was just too tired.
Let's eat at home.
My gosh.
- Let's go. - Okay.
My gosh, Ms Lee needs to rest.
Why does she need to rest? She didn't do a thing.
Don't say that.
Hello. What brings you two together?
Mi So, can you cook for Ms Ok?
It's too hot to cook today.
I don't feel like eating,
so I'm taking the kids out to get some patbingsu.
Will you cook for her?
Give him to me.
What? Ga Ram? Ga Ram, go to Grandma.
It's okay.
Bang Geul.
- Hi, Grandma. - Let's go get some patbingsu.
Let's go.
Come here.
It's okay. Go on.
I hope I'm not bothering you.
It's all right. I would've had to eat alone.
I'm not sure what we have, though.
Will you wait for a second?
Bang Geul.
Can we take a seat for a bit?
Did you like patbingsu?
- Yes. - I see.
What else should I ask you?
I can't believe...
how much you look like me.
Why do you look so similar to me?
We can pass as twins.
Not really.
No?
Ms Ok said that...
I don't look like you.
She's really good at frustrating me from time to time.
Can't we go back home, Grandma?
Let's go back in a moment.
Just a moment, okay?
Okay.
I'm sorry. It's nothing much.
Why aren't you eating?
Go ahead, have some.
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Sure.
What's wrong?
Don't you like it?
I put some clams in. Did some of the sand get in here?
No, it's good. It's really good.
You should eat, too.
Okay.
Is it too salty?
I'll do the dishes.
No, it's okay. Don't worry about it. Take a seat.
You can have some fruits. Okay?
- Take a seat, please. - I want to...
Ms Lee.
Yes?
Why are you so thin?
I feel bad.
I'm fine. I'm very healthy.
Don't say that.
You had two children. You should take care of yourself.
What if...
you get sick?
I have no time to get sick.
Have some fruit.
How is...
Min Ho doing, Sir?
Our academy's goal is to raise the marks of the low ranked students.
That's why we took in Min Ho.
What do you mean you took him in? Min Ho is not an object.
At this rate,
he'll never get accepted into a university in Seoul.
You are aware of that, right?
What do you mean? Do you know how old he is?
It's noticeable from childhood.
He'll be in trouble if you let him be.
It's not like he'll ruin his life by not going to a university in Seoul.
Don't worry. I'll make sure Min Ho's marks go up.
As you see from my credentials,
I sent a lot of low ranked students to elite middle schools.
We don't care about your credentials.
We just want to know how Min Ho is doing here...
and whether he's adapting well or not.
If you only want to hear the good things,
you should look for a different academy.
Sure, this...
This was a very useful talk, Sir.
Master.
Let's get out, Mr Kim.
What do you mean it was a useful talk?
It was useful indeed.
I now know that they'll be more harmful to Min Ho than good.
I don't think all academies in Daechi-dong are like that.
But they're so careless to the individual students.
Many universities are like that, too.
They only care about the results and not the students.
Is that why you got fired, Master?
Because you weren't all about the results?
People who don't care about other people's wellbeing...
and take advantage of others rise to power in this world.
That applies to adults.
He is a teacher who's supposed to teach students.
I'll have to make up my mind soon.
Gosh. It hurts me more...
to see Min Ho sleeping like that.
I'm home.
Did you sign Bang Geul up for English and science in Daechi-dong?
Why would I send Bang Geul there?
What's wrong? I was just joking.
It's nothing.
I feel so offended after meeting Min Ho's teacher.
Counselling with academy teachers is the most difficult.
Gosh.
- Mum. - Yes?
Can I play with Eun Sol?
Of course you can. Give her a call.
Her phone is turned off.
Really?
I'll try calling her mum.
Okay.
You said you wanted to speak to me. Why are you taking your time?
You know...
Min Ho.
Yes?
Bang Geul wants you to come over.
- Really? - Yes.
Don't go. You have homework from your academy.
What should I do with him?
Ye Eun.
That's not what is important right now.
Pardon?
You said you had an argument with your friend.
Did you talk to your friend about why you were upset?
Why do you study whenever you have a problem?
Do you understand?
Yes.
Ye Eun.
Why do you study whenever you have a problem?
I have to go to a good university so that people don't look down on me.
Don't be a fool.
It's much more important...
to have a good friend than to attend a good school.
You'll be less lonely that way.
I told you I'm not lonely.
Forget it.
Even if you try to act strong, I can see through you.
You're so lonely that you want someone to comfort you.
Ye Eun.
Other people...
don't know how hurt you are.
They'll only turn to look at you once you tell them.
You have to tell people that you're hurt so that they ask you about it.
I don't have time for that.
I'm only getting tutored for three months with Mum's money.
Wait for me, Sir.
I...
will get accepted into a good school and see you again.
Why are you bringing up something from the past?
So...
after you went to a good school, did you feel more at ease?
I didn't get looked down on at least.
Is that it?
You must become happy.
That depends largely on your attitude.
Please, you should...
live for yourself.
Don't always worry about what others will think of you.
What did they say at the academy?
Did they say Min Ho's doing good with his studies?
What do you want me to say? Can't you see if from Min Ho's face?
It's his first time. He'll be fine once he gets used to it.
That teacher...
considers kids as tools to boost his credentials.
Once his credentials get ruined,
he'll punish the kids ruthlessly.
If you are fine...
with Min Ho receiving that kind of treatment,
you can continue to send him there.
He has to overcome that kind of pain...
to reach his goals.
Do you want to play a game, Eun Sol?
No, I'll just read this book.
You don't look so happy these days.
My dad wants me to go the States but I don't want to.
Do you what running away means?
Isn't that when you run away from home?
It is. I want to run away from home.
I'm sorry, kids.
I was putting Bang Geul's brother to bed so your snack got delayed.
What's with him?
Is he sleeping?
That's all he does lately.
He said he's really tired.
Where's Mr Kim?
He had to step out for work.
I wanted to go to the playground with him.
Should I tell him to come back?
No, I'll just read this book. This is fun, too.
All right, I'll make you guksu.
Why are you here, Mr Kim?
It's the weekend, so why are you here?
Don't talk to him. He's deep in thought right now.
Oh, gosh.
Can't you think at home?
How could my brain be so rusty?
Where's the Jae Min who had a streak of success at LITZ Electronics?
Where's that Jae Min? Where?
Are you doing this over the proposal?
Mr Park.
Did you hand yours in?
I did but the content is a mess.
They kept pressing me for it so I just wrote whatever.
That's me right now.
I'm supposed to hand it in by Monday...
but I can't think of anything up to this point.
Don't you think you're looking for something fancy...
by thinking too hard?
From what I know, original ideas develop from...
what you had in your head.
What I had in my head?
You startled me. Gosh.
What is it? Did you think of a great idea?
I think Mr Park is trying to take a peek.
My gosh.
I'm not Ms Joo.
Why would I take a peek?
What are you talking about?
What?
You scoundrel...
Oh... Well...
Watch your mouth.
What did she...
- Why are you back? - What happened with the recipe?
What recipe?
Did you take Mrs Cinderella's recipe and write my name on it?
Who told you that? Was it Mr Park?
It doesn't matter who told me.
You weren't listening to me,
and I had to win somehow.
How far are you going to take this?
I took my blog...
this far and I even turned down sponsorships.
A Woman's Story is my pride.
How could you hand in somebody else's recipe as if it's mine?
I was in a hurry...
- Does that mean you can steal? - What do you mean?
I looked at it so that we don't get a duplicate,
and it just looked better.
Ye Eun!
Why...
Why are you making me regret?
Where's the Ye Eun I used to know?
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
Let go. Don't touch me.
My goodness.
What am I going to do?
Where's Eun Sol?
She went to a friend's house.
I told you that she is studying for her finals.
She said she finished it.
Where are you going?
Hyuk Gi.
Hey, wait.
Wait.
Why did you come here?
You said that Bang Geul's house is the apartment number 501...
the last time she was invited here.
She's not at Bang Geul's.
She has nowhere else to go.
You said she has no friends.
Are you here to pick up Eun Sol?
I've warned you before...
to not invite her over.
Wait here. I'll bring her.
What's with you?
Don't you know?
Why did it have to be Bang Geul's?
What are you talking about?
Eun Sol, go to your room and get ready to study.
If you keep doing this, you may never see her again for life.
Why would I never see her again?
What is he up to?
(Proposal to improve customer relationship management)
(Work as a total childcare support platform)
This is...
really awesome.
Right? Isn't it?
Yes.
Are you turning this in on Monday?
Of course. Mr Yoo has been dying to see this.
This is great. I'm glad this worked out.
I hope this one gets picked.
It will.
Anyway, do you think Eun Sol...
will be all right?
I know. Her dad looked furious.
- Mum. - Yes?
I'm hungry.
Okay, let's eat.
- Mum. - Yes?
Eun Sol wants to run away from her house.
- What? - That's what she said.
What if she really does run away?
I see.
Don't worry. I'll talk to her mum.
Okay.
Hello, good morning.
- Hello. - Hello.
You two came together.
We sent our son off to his daycare centre...
because I wanted to turn in this project proposal.
Oh, my.
You finally have something.
Will you take a look?
Hey, you believe...
that this will work, right?
I am confident.
Yes, it's very new. I'll give you that.
But I'm not too sure about it.
Just make sure you pass it onto Mr Oh.
Of course, I'll do that.
Even if he takes it,
will they choose this?
If Mr Oh likes it, we may have a chance.
I believe in Mr Oh.
(Work as a total childcare support platform)
What do you think?
It's great.
He wants to give our customers a childcare service.
Yes, and our employees will be able to use the service as well.
The only problem is the budget.
We'll find our way around it.
Tell him that it was good.
I have to run for a meeting.
Okay. Goodbye, Sir.
Goodbye.
You shouldn't turn in a good proposal, Jae Min.
What happened?
Well...
He likes it.
He said he'll work around the budget.
See? I knew he'd say that.
- Why? - I have to get Ga Ram.
Go on.
- Oh my gosh. - Yes, you should hurry.
- Goodbye, Mr Yoo. - Okay.
He works so hard here...
and at home.
I want tangsuyuk and jajangmyeon.
Why do you want to eat so many things?
My mum's keeping me away from fattening food.
- Really? - Yes.
But you had a huge lunch.
- But still. - Bang Geul.
Do you have money?
Money? No.
I have my pocket money. Why, Eun Sol?
Can you lend me a dollar?
For what?
Just because.
Okay.
You can give it back to me when you can.
Goodbye.
I'm so sorry, guys.
I'm late because I had to run to the office.
Why is she leaving alone?
Eun Sol.
Isn't your mum here?
I can go alone.
Wait there. I'll take you home.
My dad will get mad.
Hello? This is Dr Park's phone.
This is Eun Sol's teacher.
I'm stuck in traffic right now.
Can you tell him that I'll be a bit late?
Oh, okay.
Dr Choi, you have...
I'm with a client.
- Let's go, Ma'am. - Okay.
I shouldn't make your husband wait.
But Sir...
This is bad.
Can you call Ms Yoon?
Tell her that Eun Sol's teacher is running late.
I boasted to my daughter...
that my recipe won.
Really?
She said that I was cool.
That's great.
Anyway...
On Saturday, Eun Sol said...
Oh, my.
- I'm so sorry. - You can take it.
What's up, Ms Kim?
What? What about Hyuk Gi?
Okay.
Oh, no.
Eun Sol's teacher is running late because she's stuck in traffic.
What?
School's probably over now. You should call Eun Sol.
Her phone was taken away.
I have to go.
Okay. You should get going.
Yes, where are you?
Can you keep an eye on Eun Sol?
Why?
What?
Okay.
You two, wait here.
I'll be right back.
My goodness.
My gosh.
