(Episode 119) Do whatever it takes
to drive her out of Punggildang.
Why, Aran?
Aran, I just...
Taeho.
Dad.
So it was you?
How could you?
It wasn't me...
She might even end up ousting me.
Will you still deny it?
You despicable sod.
How could you stab me in the back like this?
You call yourself my son?
What's happened to you, dad?
How base and cowardly...
Why are you stooping this low
to drive mother out?
Shut up.
There's no point in talking to you.
Despicable sod.
That ingrate.
How could he do this
to his own father?
Father, is something wrong?
Do you know what Taeho's done to me?
What did he do?
I dared advise him to
stop harassing mother.
Taeho.
What's all this ruckus?
What's wrong?
Shame on you too, mom,
for being mean to Aran
after dad became CEO.
That's enough!
You've been so paranoid,
so this is good.
Now that you know your son is watching you,
you can silence me
for your peace of mind
and stop embarrassing yourself.
How dare you?
- Gilsu! / - Father!
Gilsu...
What happened?
Taeho,
beg father for forgiveness.
No, we'll both do it.
No, I won't.
This is all your fault.
This is all because you had to marry Taeho.
Are you intent on destroying us and
coming between father and son?
It was Taeho.
He was the one watching me.
Father, that's...
He thought I was pathetic.
He didn't approve of what I was doing.
But still, how could he...
Just because Taeho has the video
doesn't mean it was him.
He could've gotten it from someone else.
Don't defend him.
You heard what he said,
his defiant
so-called advice.
But you can't just lash out at him.
You must coax and
convince him so he understands.
If you can't do it,
I will.
My daughter-in-law is better than my son.
He's got no backbone.
I'm sure Taeho had your best interest in mind.
He might be regretting it now.
Not even my own son understands me.
And you can't stand by me forever.
Don't say that, father.
You'll come to deplore me eventually.
How can I expect your full understanding?
I told you.
I'm sticking by your side.
I have nowhere else to turn anyway.
How long have you been watching dad?
So you've been sending dad
the videos?
I thought this was the only way
to get father to apologize
and undo all that went wrong.
Do you think intimidating dad
would get him to apologize
to mother and resign from his post?
At least he'll be able to see
what he's doing.
I'm not condoning dad's behavior.
I know just as much as you,
so I want to rectify things too.
But this isn't right.
You should be honest and
persuade him.
Would father be persuaded that way?
He thinks he's suffered a terrible injustice.
All he knows is self-pity.
Aran.
Father won't feel any remorse on his own.
So you'll...
If you want to tell father I'm watching him,
go ahead.
How can I stop you from protecting
your own father?
Dad.
I have nothing to say to you.
Do the right thing, and
everything will be fine.
Shut up!
You may think I'm a monster,
but I'm just trying to survive!
I didn't abandon my conscience.
The guilt is torturing me,
but I'm bearing it!
Never mind.
What's the use?
Get out!
Even my own son has turned on me,
so who'll stand by my side?
Get Ms. Choi Aran here.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Ms. Choi is away on a work engagement.
Should I try her mobile?
No, it's okay.
I have no one.
I'll be left with no one by my side.
How's it...
Where is everyone?
President An.
Where's the staff?
I'm not sure.
Say, Mr. An,
I want my transfer withdrawn.
Mr. Kang's not going anymore, so...
This company isn't your playground.
Why is he lashing out at me?
You really shouldn't have.
Vice President Bae,
you're being a party pooper.
- Aye, aye. / - That's right.
You refused a ceremony
when you returned as advisor,
and you refused again for
your promotion as vice president.
Why make a big fuss?
I have the toast wine
and a lot of other things to do.
I feel bad celebrating
before all that is done.
You're still so fastidious.
The entire staff wants to celebrate with you.
That's why we insisted on being here.
Of course.
Promise us a huge ceremony when
you're reinstated as president.
That's...
Shall we drink to congratulate Ms. Bae
on her promotion?
Definitely.
The toast wine you made is serving
its intended purpose.
Would you like to say a word?
Shall we drink to
the health and happiness of
everyone at Punggildang?
Sounds good.
To Punggildang's continued growth and prosperity.
Cheers!
I have to get going.
Like I told you,
this is just a stopgap measure to
alleviate the pain.
You said I couldn't expect full recovery
through surgery or chemo, right?
Because the cancer is too advanced...
All treatments are probability-based.
It doesn't help to
delay your treatment.
I can't afford to be lying around like this.
I have a lot of work to do,
I must make sure my daughters will be okay,
and I must undo the wrong my family's suffering.
But
I'll regret it if I fail to do what I must
because of a tiny sliver of hope
at life.
I'll give you something for the pain.
My daughter-in-law's promotion means nothing.
It's my son who has to do well.
Where should I hide this?
This is supposed to stifle Gukhui's strong energy.
Good heavens.
She's sparing no expenses when
it comes to her own health.
Mom,
what are you doing?
Nothing.
Mom,
are you stealing Gukhui's iron supplement
she's taking for anemia?
Sharing supplements
can draw people closer.
Let's go.
If Jeonggi sees us,
we'll be banished from this house.
Let me just do this.
What is that?
It's to suppress Gukhui's...
It's a talisman to strengthen a couple's bond, so
Jeonggi and Gukhui can live happily ever after.
Let's go.
Not a peep, okay?
Fine.
Do you actually think that would work?
Hi, mom.
Hey.
You poor thing, you're working so hard.
Give me your wallet.
What for?
Here you go.
Don't throw this out
and carry it around with you everywhere you go.
What is that?
It's a talisman to strengthen a couple's bond.
Don't throw it out, okay?
Geez, mom.
Should we be waiting for baby news?
Geez, Jeongmi.
That spell's
actually for Jeonggi to suck up
Gukhui's strong energy.
Mom!
Why would you do that to Gukhui?
It's so mean.
How is it mean?
If the wife's energy is too strong,
the husband's energy weakens.
Why shouldn't I strengthen
my son's energy?
But still...
Taejun, I'm sure.
There's no doubt.
I think you're right too.
(OB/GYN)
At my age?
I caught a huge carp in our courtyard
and nestled it in my skirt.
But it kept thrashing about.
Just thinking about it
makes me feel sick.
Isn't that a conception dream?
Why else would Midal be like this?
She's not telling us because she's embarrassed
she's pregnant at her age.
Huh? Pregnant?
- Shh. Shh. / - Who?
My sister.
She did say she had a conception dream.
So it's true.
What was Midal thinking?
Congratulations, Taejun.
Thanks.
Thank you very much.
(Baby on the Way)
Congratulations.
I got this for you and
our baby.
Your belly will swell and
you'll grow tired easily,
so I thought you'd need this.
But Taejun...
How can I not love you
when you do all the right things?
I love you.
But Taejun, the pregnancy...
I love you.
This is nice.
Midal, don't be bashful.
It's what comes out of love.
What a beauty.
I'm so impressed, Midal.
Given your age and all...
Her age?
What's wrong with Midal's age?
It's the perfect age to have our youngest.
Taejun, the thing is...
But mom,
don't ask me to babysit.
If I go out with the baby,
people will think it's mine.
Okay?
Yes.
At her age, she should just babysit her nephew.
Peanut, you're second best now.
Hi, Peanut.
Midal baby.
Taejun.
What's wrong, hon?
Does your belly hurt?
Is Peanut ready to come out?
It's not that.
Then is it indigestion?
No.
Don't you think Midal's shameless?
She's not the only one who's pregnant,
so why all the fuss?
Hon, you shouldn't let that upset you.
You should be bigger than that.
Midal's finally being rewarded for
raising Bom for 20 years.
Yeah, right.
I saw how mean Midal
was to Bom.
My feelings are one thing.
But what about Peanut?
Midal's baby will be showered with
the nicest, most expensive things.
Imagine how shabby Peanut will look in comparison.
Nothing Peanut gets will be as good.
Good grief.
You don't see the big picture.
Why would Peanut look shabby?
He'll benefit from this.
Look.
If Taejun buys a high-end stroller,
Peanut will get to try it out first.
And we can use their baby formula and diapers
instead of spending our money.
Really? Are you sure?
Taejun, you see...
I hear your legs get swollen when you're pregnant.
Let me see.
You know what?
Maybe I'll get someone
to come here every other day
to massage your legs.
Good grief.
Midal.
We brought you gifts.
I use this storybook and this Mozart CD
to give Peanut a head start.
Mozart's great for fetal brain development.
Peanut will do well in school
if he takes after me,
but what if
your baby ends up taking after you?
What are you saying?
Stop your yammering, okay?
Calm down, Midal.
It wasn't fair what you said.
Midal would've done well
if she had applied herself.
Right?
Get out.
Stop being a grouch
and exercise.
I learned this prenatal workout
at the health center.
You and Taejun should try it.
I'll show you.
Watch.
In,
and then out.
And then in, in, out, out.
Around and in, in, out, out.
This is a must
given your age.
Exercise is the way to go.
In, in, out out.
Really?
So that helps ensure a smooth delivery?
Midal, let's try it, okay?
Geez! Stop fussing!
Stop being a grouch or
your baby will be one too. Like this.
Midal, Midal. Try it.
Focus on your breathing.
In, in, out out. In, in, out.
Good grief.
It's easy.
In, in, out, out.
You should try this.
In, in. Out, out.
Teach me, Baedal.
Geez, Midal.
How's mother?
Don't get me started.
She wanted to go make wine on the weekend,
but I stopped her.
I don't know why she's working so hard
after fainting from anemia.
It will help her to get out
for some fresh air.
The lunch is all done.
What is that?
Maru wanted this star-shaped.
A twinkling star like Bom's eyes.
Go and get changed.
I'll finish up.
Go on.
- Go, go, go. / - Okay.
It's nice to get some fresh air.
I should've done this sooner.
This is to celebrate your promotion.
We made a lot, so eat away.
They worked hard all morning.
Huh? Where's the rice?
Dad, can I have that?
Huh?
Oh... This...
Shouldn't you go wash your hands?
We can use this.
Thanks.
Is this the rice?
What is this?
Oh...
This...
It's dad's love letter to you.
Dad loves you very much.
Oh, Jeonggi. Not in front of the kids.
We'll pretend we didn't see it.
You two can share that.
Huh?
Dad. Mom.
We're here too.
This is our first picnic together.
We should've organized something like this,
but Bom and Maru beat us to it.
Don't be silly.
Thanks for coming
on such short notice.
- Sit. / - Sit.
Look this way.
Gorgeous.
I'm so happy.
Look into dad's camera.
Thanks.
Gukhui, try it.
Thanks.
Have some, Aran.
Will you make sure you get all the cherry blossoms?
Sure.
Thank you.
I haven't had so much fun in a long time.
Thank you
for making time for your dad and me.
Thank you for making time out
of your busy schedule, Vice President Bae.
You seem to be making fun of me.
Of course not.
She was just slightly teasing you.
Let's go.
Gukhui.
Yes?
Let me see your feet.
It's okay.
You must be tired.
Jeonggi...
I can't
keep up with the kids anymore.
Next time, let's go somewhere on our own.
Okay.
I'm all set.
Soak them a bit longer.
Everything about you is pretty,
but your tiny feet are the prettiest.
I wonder how these tiny feet can carry someone
as grand as you.
They're remarkable.
Stop it. You're embarrassing me.
Don't be.
Hon,
I'm tired. Give me a rub.
Sure.
Where? Here?
Not there.
Here.
Geez.
You're getting sleazier by the day.
We need to step up our game.
Dad got pregnant at their age...
Stop, hubby.
We're not ready yet for a baby.
There's so much we still have to do.
Let's wait until
we're more financially stable and otherwise,
okay?
Nevertheless,
let me give my wife a hug.
Where are you taking me?
Geez.
We're here.
- Ow, my leg. / - I see it.
We're here.
Stop it, will you?
Taejun, we wanted to
ask you for some advice.
(For Rent)
We're thinking of opening Peanut Laver Roll here.
The rent is low for the size.
And there's high foot traffic
around the clock because of
the apartment complex and subway station.
It's nice.
You should sign right now.
As such,
we were hoping for your investment.
I'm just not interested in laver rolls.
And it's not a high-return business.
Taejun,
please give the laver roll goddess a chance.
Taejun. Sir...
Don't be like this.
I beg you for your help.
Please.
No.
Please help us.
(Peanut Laver Roll Investment Plan)
Taejun's a large-scale entrepreneur,
so we must give him a well-organized plan.
That TV thing went bust,
so Taejun's all we have.
Let's make this very professional
as if it's at a business meeting.
We're here, Uncle Baedal.
- Aunt Jeongmi. / - Bom.
What is it?
Exactly on time.
I'm sorry to ruin your lunch break.
Have those rolls for lunch
and please help us.
Our future rides on this investment plan.
I want to give you a big kiss.
Bom's the presentation expert.
What would we have done without you?
If we get this,
we'll get you something very nice.
Just don't forget about us if
you become laver roll tycoons.
What do you take me for?
I'll repay you for all that I owe.
(Peanut Laver Roll Investment Plan)
We'll now begin our investment brief.
If you look on the first page...
Turn the light on.
But there's more...
Hurry up.
Here.
(Investment Contract)
It's the investment contract.
Affix your seals if you agree
to the terms.
Taejun.
When did you do this?
Thank you, Taejun.
I'm indebted to you for life.
How can you affix your seals
without even reading it?
We're just grateful for the investment.
There's no need for us to read it.
Taejun, thank you so very much.
We'll do well
and repay this debt.
Baedal,
isn't this a bit much?
How much can you make off laver rolls that
he wants you to repay the investment
and also a cut of the profit?
Won't you be losing money?
At worst, we'll break even.
I'm sure of it.
Whoa.
Open shop at 5:00 am?
This is akin to slavery.
We must start somewhere.
We get to a business without a penny.
We'll adhere to Taejun's terms and work hard.
I'm on my way, so wait.
I have everything ready to frame Bae Gukhui.
Don't mess up this time.
This document makes it seem like Bae Gukhui
sold the toast wine recipe.
Plant this in her home or office,
wherever it can be uncovered,
so that I can frame her
and drive her out of the company.
Yes, sir.
President An.
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
I overheard your sinister scheme.
Aren't you ashamed?
What did you overhear?
Darn it.
Stop!
Stop right there!
Good job.
Let's organize that upstairs.
- Okay. / - Good job today.
Thanks.
Bom.
What is it?
Maru, that man has to be stopped.
Maru!
Move!
Who are you?
The document!
What document?
Document?
Isn't that it?
Should anything happen,
tell my wife I love her.
Mr. Yang!
Stop!
What the... Hey!
- Just give it to me. / - Let go!
- It's ours. / - Let go!
- No, no. / - Darn it! Let go.
Hey! Give it back!
Thank you, Mr. Yang!
Who are you?
Let go!
- Stop! / - Stop!
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
You'll get it from me
if you come back.
Hold onto these.
Father was going to try to drive mom out again?
I videotaped the conversation.
Play it at the meeting so that
he can never set foot in Punggildang again.
Okay. Let's do that.
Give me the document.
Do you think you can intimidate me?
Do you know what that document is?
Proof that your mother sold the toast wine recipe.
You can't do anything with it!
It'll only make you an accomplice.
Do you think that's all I have?
I taped you plotting the whole thing
with that man.
What?
I'm not as gullible as I once was.
So has the surveillance camera on me
been your doing?
It's like you're admitting
that you're not fit to lead Punggildang.
So give it up.
There's a board meeting soon
Come clean and
apologize to my mom for everything.
Otherwise, I'll disclose the evidence.
What will she disclose where?
Ms. Oh, what are you doing here?
Go to the warehouse
and inspect the products for shipping.
Can't you ask someone else?
I'm asking you because everyone else
is busy.
Do you know how costly
a late shipment can be?
Why can't you spare a couple of hours?
Okay. I'll go then.
You must be in President An's bad books
for him to have singled
you out for such menial work.
Let's go eat.
Yes, sir.
Take a lunch break.
I need to
hurry back to the office.
Enjoy your lunch.
Really?
Let's go.
Hello?
There's someone in here.
There's someone inside.
(Classified: Toast Wine Recipe)
The evidence is in my hands.
Father,
I'm going to destroy you.
This should be a stress-free meeting.
Father, I have something to say.
