(Episode 109)
I know you hold a grudge against me.
You must think I ousted your mother
and drove your family to ruin.
My mom wanted to keep making wine,
her lifelong work, so I wanted
to help make that happen.
Sure.
As a good daughter, you wanted to help your mom.
And the staff seemed to welcome Ms. Bae's return.
But I thought you were smarter than this.
You made a bad move.
I'm sure your mother
will be happy and content
for a short while.
But she'll grow stressed, having to butt heads
with someone she doesn't care for.
So I'd like you
to stop her from
coming into work.
I have nothing to say to you then.
Mom likes her job very much.
Really?
Is sterilizing lab equipment and
handling yeast and medicinal herbs
what your mom really wants?
You recklessly brought your mom back,
but think again whether
that was a good thing.
Is something wrong?
No.
I should go check on mom.
Punggildang isn't your family's corner shop.
You should be working,
not checking on your mom.
Watch what you say.
Go to the wine restoration lab
and check the inventory.
I must submit this by the day's end.
Why are you asking me to do it?
We're not in the same department.
Wasn't this your sister's responsibility?
How could she be so irresponsible
and disappear like this?
I heard she was
a no-show at the plant.
Fine. I'll do it.
Wait up.
Why are you going?
Over there.
I saw her over there.
Go straight down.
Okay. Thank you, sir.
Aran.
Aran!
Thank you.
Don't go away again.
Taeho.
Let's go our separate ways.
What are you talking about?
It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
You know I didn't mean it.
You know I never could've
meant it.
Let's get divorced.
Aran!
I'm sorry.
I wanted to make you whole again.
I wanted to get you away from dad.
I'm sorry if I upset you.
Please forgive me.
No. You're right.
It'll be best for us to separate.
How long can we keep this up?
I turned my back on my family,
and you despise your father.
Let's just call it quits.
I can't let you go.
I tried,
so I know I can't.
Without you...
You'll be fine without me.
Aran...
Mom, you don't even want to answer my call?
(My eldest, Aran)
It must be hard getting back
into the swing of things.
I'm fine.
It didn't sit well with me that
I had asked you to do menial work.
We analyzed the recipes, aromas, and flavors
of the products we're launching
in the second half of the year.
Please look it over.
(Classified - 2016 New Wine List)
I will.
Is something wrong?
No.
Here you are.
You must be tired
to be back at work.
Not at all.
I'm excited like a little kid.
I didn't know we had all this open space up here.
These are from the Wine Restoration Lab.
We don't have these at HQ.
Thanks.
What's wrong?
Have they gone bad?
No.
The smell was overpowering.
You know I'm here for you, right?
Bom.
I'm not so weak, you know.
I built Punggildang from
a tiny winery I inherited
from your grandfather.
Although I lost the company,
I'll make the best wine in
Punggildang's 30-year history.
I'll help you.
But you'll be a happy spring bride soon.
Don't worry about me or the family.
Look forward to your wedding
and spend quality time with Maru
like other young folks do.
That's what I really want for you.
You two haven't made up yet?
What's wrong?
Did you two have a spat?
- No way. / - Of course not.
We're not little kids.
Our wedding's around the corner.
Seeing you like this
shatters our illusions about married life.
I don't know what happened,
but please make up.
What's there to make up?
He just has to stop giving women the wrong idea.
The wrong idea?
Mind what you say in front of the kids.
I should've seen it sooner.
Talk about being petty.
What?
What did you just say?
Petty?
Do a love shot
and make up.
Do you think I'm in the mood?
Your mom says she's not in the mood.
Dad,
we'd like your help with our vows.
I'm sure
you can advise us on what
we should promise
each other before we get married.
Of course I can.
First, trust your husband, and second,
trust your husband. Write that down.
Write down wandering eyes
do not earn your wife's trust.
Write down that my eyes don't wander.
She's making no sense.
She's the only woman I love. Write it down.
Write down he shouldn't compare
his old wife to young women.
Write down I have the prettiest wife,
so making comparisons is
an impossibility.
Write down that
I saw everything and was hurt.
Midal!
How embarrassing in front of the kids.
Geez.
Did we end up
making things worse?
How will we help them?
Stop it.
Good grief.
Mom.
Dad.
What?
Oh. Your wedding vows?
What good are words?
Just love and take care
of each other every day.
Right, Taejun?
Yes, indeed.
Okay. Have a good night then.
Enjoy.
Wow.
I had no idea just how much you loved me.
If this is jealousy,
I'll take it any day.
Why do you love me so much?
Mom.
What do I wear on the Jeju-do trip?
Gukhui got you that nice outfit before
she was ousted.
That's a winter suit.
Say, Jeongmi, you're making money
with your laver rolls, right?
Why don't you get me a spring blouse?
Is this your honeymoon?
We're just tagging along.
You can wear whatever you wear when
you hang out with your friends.
My tiny granddaughter is taking all of us
on her honeymoon,
but you can't even get me a blouse?
Oh? Didn't Gukhui go to work?
Something smells yummy.
Why are you back?
My goodness.
Hi.
How shameless are you?
We chased you out.
How could you come back?
But this is where my family is.
Wow.
Did you say your family?
The family you drove to ruin?
How could you be
so brazen as to return
to the family that now has to
live in this dump because of you?
You're a piece of work.
How can you
shamelessly come back to us
without batting an eye?
Get out right now.
Not even
your parents will side with you.
Leave Aran alone.
She grilled mackerel for you, grandma.
Are you defending that wretch
you call sister?
She's your enemy, not your sister.
She made shepherd's purse salad for you.
I didn't know,
but Aran knew it was your favorite.
I won't come around,
no matter how hard she tries.
I'm ignoring you until you get us
our house back and make your mom
CEO again.
Aran!
Are you okay?
Welcome back.
Where were you?
I needed to regroup.
Good grief.
She was away regrouping
after driving us to ruin?
Stop it, mom.
Aran's suffering too.
Why are you so spineless?
Get out.
The sight of you is making my eyes hurt,
so scram!
Aran's here to apologize.
I thought that with time,
I'd be forgiven for
my lies and
my father-in-law's offenses.
I thought
we'd make up and get along.
I didn't speak up about
Bom's disappearance
to marry Taeho and told a bigger lie
to help my father-in-law oust mom
and drive my family to ruin.
I'm dumbfounded just thinking about it.
But I did it to save myself.
Covering up one lie
begot more lies.
So you turned on us to save yourself?
You're heartless.
What kind of a sorry excuse is that?
She regrets it now.
Can't you cut her some slack?
Despite all that, your in-laws drove you out?
They're done using you?
It's a good thing your ties with them are severed.
It really is.
You're getting divorced after
driving us to ruin?
Get Punggildang back
before you seal the deal then.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Please leave Aran alone.
As you well know,
our upcoming products are classified.
Please be careful.
Destroy the recipes
as soon as you test them.
I know the protocol.
Then you can go now.
Is it true that we're using regular rice,
not organic rice from our sharecropper's farm,
for the wines we're set to launch?
When the company's struggling,
we must make adjustments.
Consumers trust that our wines are
made from premium-grade rice.
Compromising this will
endanger the company's future.
I can't allow the degradation
of our core values.
Look, Advisor Bae Gukhui.
You don't seem to
understand your new role here.
I'm the CEO now.
You're excused.
I hope you make the right decision.
Bae Gukhui.
Does she think she still owns this place?
It's me.
In the Product Development Lab
is a classified document I gave Bae Gukhui.
Set it up
so that it looks like
she tried to leak
classified information.
(New Product Lineup)
What's that?
Is someone else is working late?
Huh? What the...
Who are you?
- No, no! / - Let go!
No, no.
Let go!
No, no.
Let go!
Lee Baedal will keep Punggildang safe!
Have a nice day.
- Punggil. / - Punggil.
We heard you caught a burglar.
Is this from the late-night scuffle?
I'm in relatively good shape.
The other dude lost all his teeth.
That wound is like a badge of honor.
The intranet and group chats are
abuzz over your act of heroism.
By the way, can we pre-order wasabi rolls?
Our laver roll business is closed
due to unforeseen circumstances.
We hope to resume operations,
so please be patient.
You almost got fired over laver rolls,
but catching that burglar saved you.
What laver rolls?
I'm committed to my job here.
You should go.
I even gave him the access card,
and yet he messed up?
Not a word to the police.
He must exercise his right to remain silent.
I'll make you pay if even just
a single letter of my name is leaked.
Is something wrong?
It's nothing.
The staff is shaken up, right?
Dad,
you had nothing to do with the burglary, right?
What do you take me for?
Ms. Bae must've been careless with her card.
Um...
I'd like you to leave Aran's position vacant.
I've already decided to bring in
an outside manager.
I can't lose Aran like this.
She sacrificed herself
to protect our family.
We can't rob her of her job as well.
This is a work matter.
I heard the burglar
had Ms. Bae's access card.
Some staffers are saying Ms. Bae hired the guy.
That's just ridiculous.
Ms. Bae would never do such a thing.
I'm worried she'll become embroiled
in this unsavory incident.
Everyone knows
my mom would never do such a thing.
The truth will come to light,
so I'm not worried.
That's right.
President An could have set this up
to drive out Ms. Bae,
right?
Right?
I'm sure you heard.
Word is that Ms. Bae tried to leak classified info
to get back at the company.
You don't know anything,
so watch it.
No one is to repeat
groundless rumors.
Who says the incident was an insider job?
Both Ms. Bae and
President An care about Punggildang.
You're stressed out as it is,
worrying about Punggildang day and night.
And now that Bae Gukhui
has returned, no wonder you
constantly have a headache.
Don't worry, Gilsu.
I'll get rid of Bae Gukhui.
Good grief.
Don't get any funny ideas.
Have you ever done anything right?
What?
Listen, President An Gilsu.
You're hurting my feelings.
If it hadn't been for me,
could you have ousted
Bae Gukhui to become the CEO of Punggildang?
It's only because I'm always
watching out for you that...
Okay, fine.
You're right, so stop.
- Hey, Taeho. / - I'm home.
Yes, yes.
I'm so glad you're home.
Come sit.
So...
Look.
What do you think?
Or
her?
What's this about?
No?
Then what about her?
Who are they?
Who can they be
but your daughter-in-law candidates?
Mom.
Geez, Seonyeong.
You said you were divorcing.
A young man like you
can't spend the rest of your life alone.
It's harder to remarry if you
dilly-dally after your divorce.
Some people remarry
the day after they sign their divorce papers.
Stop meddling and keep to yourself.
Geez. Hey, Taeho. Taeho.
Gilsu. Gilsu.
Darn it.
What's the point if
I'm the only one trying so hard?
Taeho.
Hey, Bom.
Are you here to see Aran?
Let's go in.
Wait.
How is she?
I think she's very angry at me.
You two aren't really splitting up, right?
Then reconcile with her.
A lovers' spat never does real damage.
Aran, Taeho's here.
Aran.
Please go, Taeho.
I'll mail you the divorce papers.
Why would I divorce you?
How can I?
Let's go home.
Taeho, you'd better go.
Aran's determined to divorce you!
Father.
Stop it.
I'm glad you're here.
Take her with you.
That's right.
Isn't Aran part of your family now?
Take her with you and do
what you will.
What's with you, Jeongmi?
Taeho, you should go.
You two should take some time apart
to think before
making your decision.
- Aran. / - Aran.
I'll talk to Aran.
Don't worry.
She's very tired right now.
She needs time to regroup.
What are you talking about?
Time, my foot.
That's right.
You should just take her with you.
That's enough.
Aran is your
granddaughter and your niece.
She's still part of our family.
I won't tell you to split up or stay together.
But she did resort to awful things to be with you.
So how could you turn your back on her?
I'm sorry.
Take some more time to think.
I'm sorry to impose on
you and Maru like this.
I still can't even ask you to forgive me.
I know.
And I haven't forgiven you.
But I understand.
I know you had a lonely and unstable childhood.
So you obsessed over
your love for Taeho
and your marriage.
I understand what may have motivated you.
But how can you
when even I don't understand myself
and am filled with self-loathing?
That's why I should be understanding.
You're my sister after all.
Still up?
We were getting ready for bed.
Your maternal grandmother gave
these to me when I got married.
I'd like you two to wear one each.
I couldn't...
I'm sorry I failed to set
a good example in my marriage, Aran.
If you had seen how to love and
be loved in a happy marriage,
you wouldn't be suffering like this.
No, mom.
It's all my fault.
You're not to blame.
And I'm sorry, Bom, for opposing your marriage.
Please prove me wrong by
enjoying a happy life with Maru.
Of course. I promise.
Good morning!
The weather couldn't
be better for a wedding.
I couldn't contain my excitement
that I barely slept last night.
You seem more excited than the bride and groom.
What's all this, Baedal?
It looks you're the one going on a honeymoon.
These?
You haven't told them yet?
You two are extraordinarily
discreet for your age.
- Shh. / - Stop babbling.
Do you...
No, no. I don't know anything.
We'll be late.
Maru, take the family to the wedding hall.
I'll take Bom to the wedding studio
and then to the wedding hall.
Look at you being a doting
older sister.
Take care of Bom, Aran.
Don't be late.
And drive safe.
Take good care of Bom for me.
Bom, see you in a bit.
See you, hubby.
Good grief.
Kids these days.
I apologize.
(Jenny)
Who is it?
I have nothing to say to you.
You know why I came to Korea.
So how can you do this to me?
I really don't know why
you're being like this.
We had shared a friendship,
which you ruined.
You said you liked me.
I only liked you as a friend,
never as anything more.
I have to go.
Maru. Maru.
You look so pretty, Bom.
Isn't my baby sister gorgeous?
Stop it, Aran.
It's embarrassing.
I merely stated a fact.
Thank you for being here with me.
Hello?
It's all set?
Okay. I'll be right there.
I'm stepping out.
It won't take long.
Make my sister's beauty shine.
What are you doing here, Ms. Song?
Ms. Oh,
this isn't the time for your bridal makeup.
Your sister just got in an accident.
She's in an ambulance right now.
What?
That can't be.
Stop lying.
Hello?
Which hospital are they taking Ms. Choi Aran?
Okay. I'll head over with her family.
Come on.
What happened to my sister?
This way.
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
This way.
Mother, Master Kim is here.
Congratulations.
Thank you for agreeing to officiate
the wedding.
I took a liking to him
as soon as I met him.
I couldn't be more thrilled to wed
such a fine young couple.
Thank you, sir.
We'll strive to live up to your expectations.
Long time no see.
Hello, mother and father.
Congratulations.
Thank you for coming.
Why is the family enemy's son here?
Stop it.
He's still their son-in-law.
(An Gilsu of Punggildang)
Good heavens.
President An Gilsu of Punggildang
(President An Gilsu)
Why did he have to send flowers and
put a damper on this fine day?
They're just flowers.
Keep it down.
Thank you.
Long time no see.
Hello.
- Enjoy the banquet. / - Thank you.
You look like the bride, Chisaem.
Chisaem,
you'll be a good flower girl, right?
Just follow the order I taught you.
Don't worry.
I can do it blindfolded.
- Congratulations. / - Congratulations.
- Punggil. / - Punggil.
It's weird seeing you outside work.
Say hello. This is my wife.
How do you do?
Oh. My laver roll goddess.
If you open a restaurant,
I'll be a regular.
Thank you.
We'll see you later.
The excitement over the Jeju-do trip is
wreaking havoc on my stomach.
What if I get the runs on the plane?
What can you do
but hold it in?
Watch it.
Aren't Bom and Aran here yet?
They should be here soon.
What are you talking about?
Her sister got in an accident?
But I'm her sister.
Who's the woman who took my sister?
Was it a major accident?
Is she badly hurt?
Which hospital?
Did you lie to me about my sister
to ruin my wedding?
Be quiet.
Why isn't Bom here yet?
Can't anyone get a hold of Aran?
Jeonggi.
Bom's gone missing.
What are you talking about?
What?
Some woman came and took Bom,
and Aran's not picking up.
This is dangerous.
Please stop the car.
What did I tell you?
If I can't have Maru,
you can't have him either.
We'll get into an accident.
Stop the car.
It was love at first sight for me.
I thought I'd eventually make him mine,
but you ruined everything.
Okay.
I understand, so please calm down.
I loved Maru so much.
He was my first love.
