(Episode 30)
Wrap it around you, too.
Okay.
It's suddenly really hot in here.
You're right.
He must be burning more firewood.
Go ahead and sleep here.
What about you?
I'm sure I'll find a place to sleep.
I can sleep on the porch over there.
That's ridiculous.
You'll freeze to death.
I'll go ask for more blankets.
That's a man's job.
Stay here.
You're not sleeping on the porch, right?
Bom, I'm impressed.
Not only did you find this place,
but you waited for hours in this cold weather?
She's completely out.
She did have a long day.
She's still cold.
What are you doing?
Good morning, sir.
I was about to boil some water
to clean the rice wine pots.
What did I say last night?
I told you to take the first train back home.
Who told you to start the fire in the furnace?
I wanted to thank you for letting us stay.
I'm sorry if I've upset you.
I know why you're doing this,
so please stop and just go.
I've already boiled some water,
so let me at least clean the pots then.
Look, lady.
You're here to convince me
to join you in making rice wine
to sell it and earn money, right?
I have no intention of earning money
with wine, so just go back home.
I just want to enjoy good-tasting rice wine
however I want to.
You wrote in your book that
rice wine becomes a truly good wine
when you share it with people you love.
You want me to take responsibility for
something I meaninglessly said in the past?
Go home.
I have to make secondary wine later,
so please just go home.
Can I at least watch you make that, sir?
Come on!
I don't want to deal with you anymore.
Please.
If you kick me out now, when will I ever
see you make secondary wine again?
I can't miss out
on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Stop with the nonsense.
Go!
Bom.
Take this lady and leave.
Just go.
Please. I beg you, sir.
Go home now!
I'm sorry, sir.
Then could I at least taste
your rice wine before I leave, please?
Come on.
I got distracted by you two last night and
forgot to lay out the leaven to sanitize.
Oh, then I will go take it out right now
and lay it out in a sunny place.
I'll let them dry out in the sun and
let them sanitize by evening dew.
Then can I taste your wine?
You know about this process?
I can't say I know it perfectly,
but I can mimic what others have done.
I will help as well.
Aran went to see Master Kim yesterday.
Unfortunately he was making rice wine,
so she didn't get to meet him.
Oh...
He still locks the gate even today
when he makes rice wine?
I guess he's still stubborn as an ox.
I'm proud of Aran.
How did she figure out your wish
and decide to go ask him to join us?
Is that so?
I know she has caused some trouble, but
it's because she wants you to be proud of her.
Please don't be angry at her anymore.
I feel bad as well.
I think I pressured her too much.
I'm more worried about
how I will teach her from now on.
Let's leave it to her
to bring Master Kim here.
Do you think she can do it?
(Punggildang Contract)
You will be in charge of the distilling team,
and will be promised top-quality treatment.
I'm sure this is enough to win his heart
no matter how stubborn and picky he is.
You're here.
You seem busy.
I'm checking the fruit liquor we received today.
This is also fermented wine,
but it has a different fragrance.
Smell it.
Forget it.
It's such a busy day today.
Is Ms. Oh absent today?
She is still at Master Kim's house.
She's still there?
Has she gone mad?
He didn't invite us in because it's bad luck
when he makes rice wine.
That's very rude of her to stay there.
She's trying to show him how eager
we are to scout him.
I guess she waited out in the cold for hours
but finally got to meet him.
Are you saying she did the right thing?
So, is that why you went there with her?
This is the contract to recruit him.
I thought you should look at it, too.
First, let's make the best offer to bring him.
Once he accepts,
we'll change the contract to file for patent
ourselves with the recipe he teaches us.
You're going to partially lie to him?
Think about it.
He's a stubborn, unpredictable man.
If we tell him everything up front,
he would never come here.
Bom, do you think this will work?
He used to fake coughs before,
but now he isn't even looking this way.
It doesn't matter.
Spread out the malt evenly, so that
the bad fungus and odor can go away.
He won't be able to refuse it.
He can't refuse.
Don't worry too much.
We just need to be sincere and truthful.
Truthful about what?
He makes great-tasting rice wine,
and we want more people to taste it.
Don't be ridiculous.
Do you know how incompetent
you look when you say that?
There's only one truth.
He has great technique and abilities,
and I'm going to pay money to buy them.
That's all.
Sir.
Ms. Oh.
What are you doing here?
I'm drying out the malt in the sun.
Why are you doing that here?
Is this the distilling team of Punggildang?
He said he'd make secondary wine today,
and I wanted to watch him do it.
Since I'm a nobody, I can't try to recruit him
to Punggildang, but if I can watch him
make rice wine, I can mimic it later.
Forget it.
If you've gotten in the way of our work
or damaged Punggildang's reputation,
you'll be punished for it.
That never happened.
Who else is here?
Sir.
I'm Bae Gukhui's daughter, Choi Aran.
You, two.
No, all four of you.
Why are you here?
I told you again and again.
I left Punggildang on my own because
I wanted to make rice wine my own way.
You used to give me rice wine cake
when I went to the factory to see my mom.
Do you remember?
Hmph.
I hate talking about the past.
So how's Ms. Bae doing?
She's fine.
She talks about you once in a while.
Hmph.
I'm sure she still complains about
what a stubborn man I am.
That's not true.
She wants you back at Punggildang.
That's why I'm here today.
I left Ms. Bae and Punggildang on my own,
and I don't belong there.
So go back home.
Why do you say that?
I know that the rice wine you made yourself
has become the foundation of Punggildang.
We're planning a new project at Punggildang.
We want to make 100% homemade liquor
that's different from any other wine and
show it to customers who love rice wine.
Please help us.
We beg you.
We will treat you accordingly.
I'm not interested.
Please take a look at this.
What is this?
Oh, please.
Hey, Ms. Bae's daughter.
Who do you think I am, huh?
You think I make wine to make money?
You think this salary and position are
enough for me to join you?
That's not what I meant.
If there's something else you want,
I will include it in the contract.
Forget it!
Oh, no.
What else does he want?
Let's go back and review the contract again.
I brought some side dishes
that you may like.
This is pickled mustard leaves.
This is pickled baby octopus.
And this...
This is fermented walleye pollack
that just got here from Sokcho.
What are you doing?
You're trying to make up for what you did?
These are leek pancakes.
Try it, mother.
Open up.
I don't care for the food.
What are you going to do about my hair?
I can't even go to the senior citizen center
because of my purple hair.
What did I tell you?
I told you I will get it back the way it was.
Look at this.
This is top-quality hair dye that
rich women of Gangnam use.
Just have faith in me once more
and let me fix your hair.
Top-quality hair dye that rich women use?
Really?
Of course.
I spent all my money to buy this.
Look.
Tada.
Oh, my.
I love the color and that was great service.
You're just a cutie pie.
Have a seat.
Okay.
Are you seeing anyone right now?
Unfortunately, despite my good looks,
I haven't had a real girlfriend yet.
Really?
Are you looking for a girlfriend?
Of course.
What about her age?
You want someone young, right?
I don't want someone too young.
I actually prefer someone older.
Really?
I don't care about her age.
I just want someone I can talk to like you.
A man who's nice as you is perfect for me, too.
But you do have one serious problem.
Did I go too far yesterday?
Right.
Who knows what will happen in the future?
I should pay the unpaid bill.
What are you doing here again?
About yesterday...
You're here to ask for the hospital bill?
No, that's not it.
Do you think I'm a pushover?
Go away.
What an ignorant woman.
She didn't let me finish.
I should go and...
Forget it. What can I say?
I'll just get myself in more trouble.
Oh, man.
Being in an empty nest,
my empty heart makes me cry.
My heart is shivering in the cold.
Do you know how stupid you look
when you do this?
I'm so sick of you.
It's my wish not to hear you
even just for one day!
I'll go to my room.
Son, wait. I'm not done...
Son. Son!
Taeho!
I should've taught you what's right
when you were being stubborn
instead of just letting you off easy.
Move!
Who needs a husband and sons?
We heard about him here.
We heard that he's a stubborn man,
and he will never come work here.
Save yourself the trouble and
just get back here.
Oh, my.
Mr. An.
Mr. Kang just called.
He will be away until tomorrow morning.
What should I do?
He's still at Master Kim's place?
Yes.
He said that he and Ms. Oh
are doing their best,
but isn't it ridiculous?
Oh Bom is just an intern, and Kang Maru
is just a part-time employee.
What can the two of them do?
Oh, my.
Maybe they are using this as an excuse
to go on a date there.
Don't think you think so?
Two young people all alone
in a remote area.
That just calls for trouble.
Don't say that.
Do you know how much
Mr. Kang cares for Ms. Oh normally?
They say they're just friends, but they act
like they are more than that.
We should prohibit dating among employees.
I can't stand looking at them.
Of course you and Ms. Choi are diligent,
so there's nothing to worry about.
But not Ms. Oh and Mr. Kang.
They might use work as an excuse to date.
I'm off to work now.
Please check everything before you leave.
Sure.
Don't worry about a thing.
I put away the malt I laid out in the morning.
I will wake up early in the morning
and bring fresh spring water
and make hard-boiled rice.
There's no need.
You said you'll knead hard-boiled rice
and malt early in the morning.
I'm quite strong.
Just give me the order,
and I'll do all the hard work.
What are you doing?
I'm cooking something.
That looks good.
It's not for you.
Don't even think about it.
Oh, it tastes good.
What is this?
I made something real quickly.
I didn't ask for this.
Who asked for this?
I ended up here because
I do things I wasn't asked to do.
I'm not hungry.
I made it with all of my heart.
Please have a bite.
Kneading rice is hard work.
You'll need a hearty dinner
in order to work from dawn.
Try this dried pollack soup.
I made it with a lot of radish because
it would go well with that rice wine.
Oh, gee.
Rice wine would go perfect with the soup.
What?
Okay.
Do you want a drink?
Thank you.
I'll use this to drink it.
What is that?
It's my good-luck charm
to make good-tasting wine.
Here you go.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I can't help but make that noise
when I have good-tasting rice wine.
This tastes like honey.
I can smell a hint of magnolia.
It has the taste of yearning.
What's the taste of yearning?
When I drink your wine it makes me
want to drink it with my mom, uncle,
my dad who passed away, friends and
the woman who gave me this.
That's how it tastes.
It makes you yearn for people?
Yes, that's it.
Kissing up to me won't work.
I'm not.
It's the truth.
Leave now.
Did you talk to him?
No, not at all.
I knew you wouldn't be able to.
We just wasted time.
We didn't waste time.
Think about what we did.
We dried out high-quality malt.
We made hard-boiled rice with good rice.
You even went to the spring with him
to get spring water.
We didn't just waste time.
We worked all day long.
No, we learned a lot.
The smell of his malt
is different from any other malt.
Where else could we smell that?
Bom, do you like traditional liquor that much?
Yes.
It must be in the genes.
My dad was able to finish two bottles of
rice wine at his favorite pub.
And you know my mom owns Chowon Pub.
I'm their daughter.
Your eyes sparkle
when you talk about traditional liquor.
Like those stars.
Oh, how cheesy.
It's true. Your eyes are like those stars.
Why am I here?
So my eyes sparkle like those stars?
Well, not as much as those stars.
Aren't you cold?
I guess I'm a little cold.
Your ears are red.
Ms. Oh Bom.
You're still here?
What are you doing here?
Let's go back home now.
You can't win his heart over
just by staying here.
I'm not here to win his heart over.
I've learned so much by
being around him all day.
I can apply all of it at Punggildang.
All right. Let's go now.
By the way, why are you here?
I already called to say I'd be back tomorrow.
Let's go. You too, Mr. Kang.
I'm glad you're here.
They've been bothering me all day.
Take them with you.
Please forgive us.
Sir,
let me join you tomorrow morning
when you knead the rice and malt.
You never listen.
Save yourself the trouble and
go back when you have a ride.
Sir.
That's enough, Ms. Oh.
Let's go.
You've done what you can.
Let's go home now.
I don't care about recruiting him.
Don't you want to see
how he makes rice wine with
the ingredients we prepared all day?
He's kicking us out.
He won't teach us anything.
Let's ask him once more. Please?
Let's go.
You're being too rude.
The taste of yearning...
She's just an intern at a pub.
How can she be away for two days?
That's how it is at work these days.
Companies don't pay you for nothing.
They milk you as much as they can.
Oh, Midal.
Did you give Bom's photo to Butcher Ma?
What? What picture?
I was passing by the butcher shop,
and he showed me Bom's picture and
asked if she was my niece.
I told him to keep it quiet
until everything worked out.
How can you do that, Midal!
How can you send off Bom to him?
I'm using my head here.
I don't want Bom to struggle anymore,
so I'm trying to change her life.
Do you know how old he is?
He's at least 10 years older than me.
He's a very old man.
I'm not dragging her down the aisle.
I'm just introducing her to him.
She'll get married if she likes him.
I took back her picture.
This never happened.
Hey!
Why did you do that?
Mr. Ma is totally into Bom.
I just needed to persuade her.
Have you seen my picture, mom?
Why?
Bom is insisting that I go to college,
so I'm going to apply to a top school
just so that I can get rejected.
Listen to what you're saying.
The company dad used to work at called.
Why would they call?
Dad's things are still at the office,
and they want us to take them.
Your dad's things would not
be worth any money.
Tell them to throw them away.
How can you say that?
I will go get them myself.
You don't have to worry about it.
Hey!
Think of me as much as
you think of your dead father.
You should think of your husband
and be nice to Bom.
Don't be such a horrible stepmother.
I'm home.
You're home.
I thought you couldn't come home tonight
because you were on a business trip.
Were you fired?
No, I wasn't fired.
You look exhausted.
I am tired.
I'll go rest.
See?
She's working so hard to earn money.
It'd be great for her to marry a rich man.
Life isn't just about money.
It's a great life if she marries
someone she loves even if
he doesn't have any money.
There's no love
when you're starving.
Bom, let's go to dad's old office together.
What for?
Dad's things are still there.
They said they'd throw them away.
Don't you have finals tomorrow?
I'll be fine.
They'll be included in your grades, right?
I'll go get dad's things tomorrow.
Study for your finals.
Study, study, study.
You nag more than mom does.
Why is the desk so messy?
I was looking for my picture for the application.
Do you want this?
It was in dad's pocket when he passed away.
I'm sure he meant to give it to you.
Oh, it looks cheesy.
I can't put that on.
Even a 3-year-old wouldn't wear that.
I'll put it on then.
It looks cute.
Take it off.
You look terrible.
Okay. All right.
I'll tell my dad.
They want you to take your mom's things?
They're emptying the office now,
so they want us to take her things.
I don't care about that.
Don't tell your dad that your mom's
company called to take her things, okay?
Then what about her things?
Let them be thrown away.
Why would you need them?
You were mean to mom
when she was alive,
scolded her and
said mean things to her.
Now you want her things thrown away?
Stop talking about the past.
Your dad is finally able to breathe.
Don't do anything to get him in trouble.
(Certificate of Confirmation)
(Declaration of Disappearance)
Did you want to talk to me?
Paran was declared missing.
Please hand this into the district office.
Our Paran...
Later...
Let's do it later.
(Certificate of Confirmation)
Ms. Bae, this is for the board meeting.
Is something wrong?
Paran was officially declared missing.
That was quicker than I thought.
You're right.
I will take care of this.
That's okay.
I will do it.
Okay, then.
(Missing Child)
I'm here to get Oh Yeongho's things.
They should be in his drawers.
Hold on.
(Missing Child)
Here you go.
Thank you.
(Missing)
Dad wrote in a diary?
Hey, Bom.
Maru.
(Number for Center for Missing Children 182)
