Saewa, where are we going?
Saewa...
Isn't that Anna?
Where is she going so early in the morning?
And who is that young woman?
Anna doesn't know anyone here in Korea other than Bongi...
Better safe than sorry.
Anna. You and Donghae have to go back to the States.
Saewa.
You've probably realized this,
but I'm not the old Saewa you used to know.
Saewa, why are you doing this?
Saewa, I want to go home.
Take me home.
I don't know this place.
Get out.
Anna. Listen to me.
I'm getting married soon.
- Married? - Let me finish.
The man I'm marrying isn't some ordinary guy.
His family isn't an ordinary family either.
They are scary people.
They have power and influence.
They might do something to hurt Donghae
if they were to find out about him.
They won't stand for it.
You saw how Donghae got hurt in that accident because of me.
Do you remember?
If those people were to find out about Donghae's existence,
they might cause another accident like that.
So you have to take him back to the States.
Donghae said he'd look for James by getting a job at that hotel.
We're going to look for Donghae's father.
Didn't you hear a word of what I said?
Donghae is in danger.
Fine. You can do whatever you want.
Saewa...
Donghae...
We're done here.
Who does Bongi think she is?
How dare she slap my daughter?
I won't stand for it.
Not even the president has the right to
lay a finger on my daughter. How dare she?
Where is that Anna anyway? I thought her son was going to drop her off.
Why hasn't she come yet?
What is wrong with that family? Are they taking us for fools?
I won't stand for it.
Seonok! How dare you accuse me of not raising my daughter right
when your own children are behaving like that?
How dare you!
What are you talking about?
I don't understand anything you just said.
Your daughter came over last night to slap Saewa.
How dare she do that?
What?
You must be mistaken.
It'd be easier for a turtle to sprout hairs on its back.
Why would my daughter go around slapping people?
Are you finally senile?
Senile?
Are you saying what I saw was a hallucination?
Where is Bongi?
Why don't you ask her?
She saw me last night too.
Bongi might be a little quirky,
but she would never do anything wrong.
Saewa must have done something to hurt her.
Are you saying Saewa had it coming?
I'm not saying that, but...
Fine. Let's see if you'll keep talking like that
once Saewa is married to the heir of the hotel.
We're going to fire Bongi right away.
Then you'll see what a big mistake you've made.
- Where are you going? - Let's go!
And give me back the money you owe me.
You said you'd pay me back a long time ago.
And where is that Anna woman?
Why hasn't she come in to work yet?
Isn't Anna back yet?
I saw some young woman take her somewhere.
- Young woman? - Young woman?
Donghae...
Get in.
I said get in.
You can't live without Donghae.
That's why you have to go back to the States. Korea is dangerous for you.
I'll buy your plane tickets for you both, so you can go back.
I'll even give you money to help you get settled down.
And our TV station got a call recently from someone who says they know James.
- James? - Yes.
I looked into it,
and I think he is the James you're looking for.
If you and Donghae go back to the States,
I'll get James' number for you and help you meet him.
Do you mean that?
Donghae will only be miserable if he stays in Korea.
I know you don't want him to suffer.
You love him more than anyone.
Isn't that right?
Donghae may tell you he's fine,
but he's only saying that so you won't worry.
So you have to beg him to take you back to the States.
And don't tell him I made you say that.
Do you understand?
If it's a young woman, maybe it's Donghae's fiancée.
I heard him talk about her.
He said he came to Korea for his fiancée.
Fiancee?
But his fiancée is a mean girl.
Anna told us about her.
She said Donghae got hurt trying to save her life and that ruined his career.
And then, that woman dumped him and left him.
That's horrible.
Women like myself have only known one man their entire lives,
so we hate seeing women like that.
That'll make people like us throw up the food we ate.
Didn't Saewa also study in New York?
Yeah.
She got a full scholarship for her entire stay there,
and she even got a stipend.
Why do you ask?
Donghae's also from New York.
His fiancée was a student there.
They dated for six years.
Didn't Saewa stay in New York for six years?
And?
It's just the years happen to coincide.
Seonok!
What is the matter with you?
Are you suggesting Saewa is that horrible woman?
How can you even suggest that?
Anna.
Where have you been?
I'm sorry.
I...
What kind of stew is this?
Why does it taste like that?
It's traditional soybean paste stew.
I tried it after seeing how your mother cooked it,
but I can't get it to taste like hers.
You'll never go on a cooking show with these skills.
You're only good at fusion dishes, but not traditional ones.
I think I'm on the wrong team.
I'm starting to get worried.
What should I do?
I'm having trouble cooking authentic Korean food for Korean people.
They say when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
You'll learn if you were to go to a Korean restaurant.
Come with me.
What about dinner?
We can do it later after we come back.
Dojin.
Saewa. What happened?
You said you'd just go see your mother then I never heard from you.
I had to go to work because something urgent came up.
You don't look so well.
What's wrong?
My mom asked to see Carl Laker again.
I got a little upset because of that,
and mom scolded me for not behaving properly.
I really can't stand that guy,
but I have to keep seeing him because of my mom.
You can't fire him because that'll go against your hotel rules.
Why don't you set up a rule that everyone can agree with?
What?
I hear that man doesn't even have a license to cook Korean food,
and he only got that job through your mother.
Why don't you test him on his Korean food cooking skills,
and if the food is bad, you can let him go.
Korean food. That's a good idea.
You haven't been eating lately, have you?
You're already too thin! I don't want you losing any more weight.
Let's go.
I know a great place we can go.
This place is famous for its Korean food.
The smell here is different.
This place may not look fancy, but its fermented soybean past stew is the best.
- My dad likes it too, and.. - Oh.
What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working?
We're on a break.
We can go back before the dinner rush.
You work at our hotel's Korean food kitchen,
and yet you're here eating at another restaurant.
I only came to this place
to learn how to make Korean paste and sauce well.
Sauce?
You don't know the first thing about Korean sauce,
and you're working at a hotel's Korean food kitchen?
I think it's about time we test you on your Korean food cooking skills.
I hope you enjoy your food,
because I'm going to test you on your abilities to figure out
if we should hire you officially after one month.
You'll have to make a fermented paste stew.
And you'll need to ferment the beans yourself.
Fine.
I wouldn't want anything less.
Let's sit down.
Let's see.
You'll end up going back to the States.
Why was Anna so pale? Isn't she feeling well?
- Hey... - Oh!
Oh. I'm so sorry.
I can't even get mad, since you're family and all.
Don't be mad.
I only came to give you this.
It's not much.
I bought it when I was at the department store.
Why would you give me a gift?
I think you know.
We're family. It's not a big deal to give each other gifts.
I'm a widow, so I know how you must feel.
I thought you might need these.
What?
It'll help you feel pumped up.
I should go.
What is it?
Is this ginseng or something?
This is great.
I've been feeling weak these past few days.
I can share this with Songi...
No. I can share it with Songi and Anna.
Did we begin the landscaping construction of the roof yesterday?
Yes.
You know our deluxe suites lie just underneath,
so we have to make sure there's no noise.
We'll do that.
And tell the security staff to make sure to lock the doors to the roof.
The supplies up there all belong to this hotel.
Yes.
I got the report.
You'll be testing Carl Laker on his fermented soybean paste stew?
Yes.
That's not a bad idea.
It's an authentic Korean dish, so it'll help him improve his skills.
What's wrong?
Is something wrong?
This is what your mother gave Dojin's father for his birthday.
I'm sorry but will you return it to her? We can't accept it.
What?
I don't know how I'm supposed to take that.
You've lived with her your whole life, so you can explain.
Is this what your mother would call normal behavior?
Seonok's only jealous because Saewa is getting
married into a good family.
There's no use.
There were plenty of girls who went to New York to study.
Did you see the gift?
You really shouldn't have!
It's really great.
Do you like it?
Yes. I'm feeling much stronger already.
You're so bad!
I have to go. I'm busy.
- Mom, are you out of your mind? - What?
How many times did I tell you to be careful in front of Dojin's family?
What are you talking about?
You have to tell me what's going on first.
How am I supposed to understand what you said?
How can you give this to my father-in-law for his birthday?
Why would you do this?
What's wrong with ginseng?
Oh! What's this doing here?
Oh, no! I mixed the gifts up!
What am I going to do?
What do you mean reversed?
It's just...
I'm so embarrassed!
Why can't you do anything right?
Why did you have to pick up the wrong gift?
You're the one who created this mess!
Mother...
You can be so hopeless sometimes!
Oh...
Saewa.
Saewa?
Oppa, what are you doing now?
What are you doing?
You and I are going to be sleeping in separate rooms.
What do you mean? Why?
What do you mean why?
You saw how your mother yelled at me.
I may not have anything to show for myself,
but she crossed the line.
Why is she taking out her stress on me?
Oppa...
My family treats me like I'm a prince.
I have no reason to be treated this way.
You listen to me.
I'm going to kill two birds with one stone.
I'm going to become a judge or lawyer after passing the bar, and...
And?
I'm going to make money.
I'm not going to your mother for money anymore.
How will you make money if you're studying for the bar?
And besides, what does any of that have to do
with our using separate rooms?
You couldn't understand what I'm going through if you tried.
I can't concentrate on my studies when I'm with you.
From now on, I'm going to study as if I were in a Buddhist temple.
Taehun...
I've made up my mind.
Here. Take it.
This is the only way for us
and for our twins to have a bright future.
I'm getting married soon.
Those people aren't just ordinary people.
They are scary people.
They might do something to hurt Donghae
if they were to find out about him.
You saw how he got into an accident because of me.
They might cause another accident like that
if they were to find out about Donghae's existence.
Mom. I'm home.
Did you go to work today again?
No. You told me not to.
I won't do anything to upset you.
Good.
- Donghae. - Yeah.
I won't work like you said,
so instead, will you do one thing for me?
What is it?
- Donghae. - Yeah.
I want to go back to the States. Let's go back.
Why do you say that?
Did something happen to you today?
Let's go. Let's go to the States.
Is this because you don't want me to work?
I'm fine.
I like my job, and I like living here.
Bongi's family is so nice to us.
Don't you like them too?
I do,
but Donghae...
I've been a little busy.
That's why I haven't been spending much time with you.
I'm sorry.
But this will all be over soon.
I promise I'll make you happy.
And we should go on a trip somewhere this weekend.
Donghae.
I have work to do right now,
so stay here and get some rest. Okay?
Let me see...
Yes. It's good.
How long do I have to boil the beans?
They have to be kept in water for over six hours.
After that, you have to boil them for five hours.
Oh.
What's that?
Straw.
I don't know how best to explain this...
It's basically wheat after you've taken out the rice.
This straw is very important when making fermented soybean paste stew.
This is what you need to ferment the soybean properly.
It's better than the other stuff they well.
Oh...
- Will you pour that here? - Okay.
Now, you need to put this on a warm floor,
and cover it with a thick blanket.
Let it sit for about three days.
Then they'll taste really good.
Do these have to be kept in a warm place?
It's the same with these beans as with people.
You have to embrace them warmly, so they can show their true worth.
I see.
Thank you.
Mom, this may smell a little, but we should put up with it.
Donghae. I really want to go back to the States.
It's stuffy living here.
Can't we go?
I'll work hard so I can give you the good life.
For today, don't go to work and stay home.
I'll be back soon.
Saewa, would you like to have lunch with me and my dad?
With your dad too?
What about your mother?
She already has lunch plans.
I'll go to the TV station later.
Okay. I'll be ready.
Come in.
I brought the lunch you asked to cook for your husband.
Oh. I'm so sorry but I have to leave right now.
Would you mind taking it to the TV station yourself?
I'm sorry?
I know I'm asking for a lot, but I hope you can do this yourself from now on.
I'll give you the directions.
No. I know where it is.
Don't worry.
Thanks.
What is this smell?
Oh. I'm sorry.
I've been working on fermented soybeans at home, so...
Are you practicing well?
Yes. I'll do my best.
Bye.
Hello.
I was asked by your wife to bring you your lunch.
You don't have to do that. It must be a lot of trouble.
I'm sorry my wife is so demanding.
But those sandwiches taste just like the sandwiches I had when studying abroad,
so I always look forward to yours.
- Have a seat. - That's okay.
I have to go back to work.
Did you find your mother? You said she went missing before.
Yes. I found her thanks to some helpful people.
Thank you for asking.
I...
I'm sorry.
It's just I feel like we've met before.
I hear you're from abroad.
Where exactly are you from?
I came from the States, from New York...
- Dad. - Oh.
Dad. I haven't come to see you at work in a while,
so I thought you can come with me and Saewa to have lunch.
You're supposed to play squash with me later tonight.
You should have a healthier lunch than this.
Let's go out to eat.
I'm back.
I'll now begin working on the radishes.
I'm going to the hall.
Good luck, everyone.
Bye.
Look.
- Carl. - Yes.
I know you've been asked to cook lunch for Mr. Kim,
but you still have to remember your place.
Yes.
And make sure to be gentle with the cabbage leaves.
The kimchi has to taste especially good
since we're cooking special noodles for today's party.
- I'll do my best. - Good.
Ahjussi, look.
I think something's wrong with these cabbages.
What do you mean?
What's wrong with this?
This one's got black spots all over.
Wait. So does this one.
And this.
- What is it? - They're all bad.
Is something wrong with the cabbages?
Yes. These must be really old.
We've been having problems with our cabbage supplier.
They're taking our business for granted,
since we've employed them for so long. They've been giving us poor quality produce.
Call them immediately and tell them to take these back.
And see if you can find a good supplier.
- We have no time, so hurry. - Yes.
What am I going to do?
Where will I find quality cabbages in one hour?
Wait.
I know someone we can trust.
Sir? Where are you now?
Donghae.
I'm on my way to a local province to deliver some of my cabbages.
Our hotel needs some quality cabbages immediately.
I was thinking we could buy some of yours.
- Is that it? - Yes.
I'm so sorry.
I should be taking these to your hotel myself.
That's okay.
Thanks.
I know you did this to help me out.
No. I should be thanking you.
We got really great cabbages thanks to you.
- Okay. Run along. - Yes.
What are you doing?
Can't you see I'm delivering food ingredients?
I should be getting mad at you!
You should have watched where you're going
if you're carrying a sack of food.
Is this the way you work?
Forget it.
What did you say to me?
I'm not your friend.
Don't you know how to treat your boss with respect?
If you were only a boss,
then you wouldn't have bumped me on the shoulder like that.
What did you say?
Punk.
We're at work.
Are you about to use violence against one of your employees?
Fine. I'll meet you on the roof after work.
I'll take you on, one on one.
- Hey. You're here. - Yes.
Let me see...
Yes. These are good cabbages.
Our night shift will work on making the kimchi,
and the rest of you can go home.
Yes. Don't you worry.
- Bye. - Bye.
Carl. I'm not feeling well right now.
- Would you mind covering my shift for me? - I have to go up to the roof for something.
Roof?
I'm sorry but I'm in a hurry.
- I should go... - Hey!
I see how it is! The boss' got your back, huh?
That's why he thinks he can get away with anything.
You got a phone call.
It's Saewa and she wants to talk to you.
Did you two know each other?
Saewa?
Hello?
Anna, did you tell Donghae you want to go to the States?
Yes. I did as you asked.
What is Donghae still doing here?
Anna, do you want to see him get hurt?
Oh. Saewa must be here.
Saewa. I'm home.
I told you to beg him to take you back to the States, didn't I?
What are you going to do if Donghae gets hurt?
Anna. I'm no longer Donghae's fiancée.
Our relationship already ended in New York.
I told you I'm getting married soon,
so...
Mom...
Aren't you tired of picking on me like this?
I wouldn't have to pick on you if you did your job right.
If you're my boss, then act like one.
Isn't it childish of you
to take out your anger on me like this, at work?
What? Childish?
I hope your idea to test me on my Korean food skills was just.
I hope it wasn't a ploy to pick on me
by using your authority, which is what it feels like.
Stop showing off.
You may have been lucky enough to get this far,
but you won't last long.
Do you think I'll let you continue to work here?
If I'm recognized for my work,
then there's no reason I shouldn't work here.
I only came up to this roof to tell you that.
From now on, we'll only be meeting for work reasons.
I don't want us to have to see each other like this for personal reasons.
I came up here to tell you that.
Punk.
Stop it!
Stop!
What time do they lock the doors here?
Do you have your phone with you?
Why isn't Donghae here yet?
They told me he left before I did.
He's not picking up his phone...
Why isn't Donghae here yet?
He didn't call you, either?
These people might do something to hurt Donghae,
if they were to find out about him.
They won't stop at anything.
I can't let Donghae get hurt.
I have to go look for him.
Why would Donghae be hurt?
He might be working late.
Oh... It's so cold.
It's cold. We can go wait inside.
Anna
Dojin's late.
Why didn't he call me if he was going to be late?
Where's Dojin?
You said you were going to come home with him.
I was waiting for him, but he didn't show up.
He didn't even call.
Is he with Saewa?
Saewa said she was going home.
Really?
I couldn't reach him.
I hope nothing's wrong...
I can go to the hotel to look.
- I'll go with you. - No.
It's cold, so you stay home.
I'll call you when I find him.
Hello? Is anyone there?
There are people up here!
Donghae...
