(Episode 31)
Dad wrote in a diary?
Hey, Bom.
Maru.
(Number for Center for Missing Children 182)
Did you get home safely last night?
Yes. Mr. An walked me home.
What? Home?
Why?
What do you mean why?
You always say it's dangerous at night.
It's bright enough in your neighborhood.
They are enough people walking around.
You always walk me home.
I...
I'm your friend.
Let's go.
There's a group reservation today, right?
You'll be quite busy.
Did Mr. An say anything?
Say what?
Nothing.
Did you sleep well last night?
Mr. An.
The past 2 days took its toll on you.
You look tired.
I'm not tired.
I'm worried I damaged Punggildang's name
without any gains.
No damage.
I'm sure Master Kim saw your sincerity.
What if I made a mistake?
You didn't.
Mr. Kang was there with you,
so I'm sure he knows better.
That's a relief.
Master Kim hasn't called, has he?
It's not easy to persuade him.
I know you're on the distilling team now.
I'm sorry for making you do kitchen work.
I'm just an intern. I'll do whatever I'm told.
It's my job when things get busy.
Thank you.
Let's work hard until the day
you become an official full-time employee.
Okay.
It's here.
Oh.
You really worked hard.
You even found out where he was.
But don't be too disappointed.
I am a bit disappointed.
But regardless of whether he comes or not
I learned so much in the last two days.
It might be rude to say this,
but I'm so proud of you and
you are cute.
Thank you for thinking so nicely of me.
Go on in.
Your mother must be worried.
Gyeongwu.
About rewriting the contract...
Yes?
Shall I do it now?
No, forget it.
I'll do it myself.
Taeho.
I need to write the contract for Master Kim.
Can you come here?
Aran.
A group made a reservation today.
I'm swamped.
You can leave that to the assistant manager.
I'm sorry.
Taeho. Taeho?
What?
He hung up on me?
Aran.
At least I'm here for you.
So what?
What can you do for me?
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?
Let me help you.
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
What's wrong?
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
What about you, Maru?
You're not okay.
Come here.
Let's clean up.
Maru, are you okay?
Let me see.
I'm fine.
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
Maru.
Don't help me out too much.
Why? Is that wrong?
I'm grateful that you help me,
but I don't want others to get the wrong idea.
Like who?
Mr. An?
Mr. An, too.
But I should work on my own in the kitchen.
If you continue to help me out,
people will think I'm helpless by myself.
You understand what I'm saying, right?
Yes, I got it.
Thank you, though.
I'm so lucky to be able to
work with a great friend like you.
I'm lucky to have you in my life.
Then we're both lucky.
You met Master Kim?
Yes.
But he hasn't made up his mind yet.
I'll go talk to him again soon.
Okay.
He's not an easy person to persuade.
I hope my greed isn't a burden on him.
He doesn't like to be tied down.
We need him at Punggildang so
I will make sure I persuade him.
Thank you for leaving this job to me.
About that employee at the pub...
Ms. Oh Bom?
I apologized to her like you told me to.
You did?
It was my fault.
I didn't think about who I was hurting
because Punggildang was on my mind.
I won't worry you again with this.
I see.
Good work.
And Aran.
Paran was officially declared missing.
What?
I didn't know it would happen so fast.
(Declaration of Disappearance)
I'll protect you now.
I'm all you've got now.
Yes.
Oh, Gukhui.
How can you let her go when
you clearly haven't forgotten her?
Paran.
Even if the papers go through
you know you're still my daughter, right?
Dad, mom's office...
What are you doing here?
Oh, gee.
You're cleaning her room for her now?
She's busy.
I'm cleaning the house anyway.
My mom cleaned the rooms, living room and
bathrooms before she went to work
no matter how busy she was.
What's wrong with you?
Are you being servile?
Or are you kissing up to her?
Well, I...
Forget it.
Stop it.
Jia.
He doesn't care about mom anymore.
How could he do this to her?
You didn't tell him anything, did you?
Why?
You're afraid he'll go get mom's things?
Be quiet.
Your dad might hear you.
Do you want to cause trouble
and be kicked out of this house?
I don't care.
You're the only one comfortable living here.
I have to share a room upstairs,
and dad is a cleaning maid here.
It might be better to move out.
Oh, gee.
Why are you arguing?
What is it?
You're so immature.
Don't complain.
If you decide to get your mom's things,
go throw them away or burn them.
I will not tolerate it if you decide
to bring them here.
I can't live like this.
Mom, don't be so cruel.
It's natural to want to get her mom's things.
Would you be happy if you died and
had your things thrown into the streets?
I'm still alive. Don't make that assumption.
I'm just trying to explain.
Forget that.
Come here.
I have something to talk to you about.
What?
Sit down.
Be honest with me.
What's your plan?
Are you going to live here with me forever?
Forget it.
I can take care of myself.
I'm meddling because I know
you can't take care of yourself.
Then what should I do?
Do you want me to move out?
Get remarried.
I told you I'm not dating ever again.
Don't be ridiculous.
I know you.
Your eyes sparkle when
you see a nice, young man.
Just grab a nice man and get remarried.
There is no nice man.
And even if there were nice men,
why would they want to marry me?
There's a young man I like.
Forget it!
I don't care whether he's young or old.
If you like him so much, you marry him.
I would have if I were 10 years younger.
He is a total player.
How dare he play hard to get with me!
Fine. If you play hard to get...
I'll make the call first.
Sure. I can call first.
If you're a player,
I'm a player's grandmother.
(My goddess)
Where's our kimchi and side dishes?
More than half are gone.
I don't know.
I guess customers asked for more.
Don't you dare try to fool me.
I've been doing this for years.
You're the only one who would steal from here.
Tell me the truth.
What did you do with them?
Did you give them away to a widow?
Sis, I'm off to make deliveries.
Hey! Hey!
I'm not done talking.
Hey, hey, hey.
I smell something.
How could he do this to me?
He seemed like he couldn't live without me
and touched my heart.
And now he abandons me?
What are you mumbling about?
Why are you following me around?
Come on. Think about it.
I think he's a kind man,
and he looks nice.
He's a catch.
He's a lot younger than you are.
He's perfect for you.
I'm not telling you to get married now.
Just meet him and
then decide whether you like him or not.
All right then.
You're going to meet him?
I don't have class tonight,
so tell him I'll see him tonight.
All right.
Who needs a son and a husband?
I spent the night at my parents
and no one has called?
Let's see how long it takes for them to call.
Hello.
No, I don't need money.
I don't need a loan.
Do they even know I ran away?
Hello?
What is it?
Are you sorry now?
What are you talking about?
I'm busy.
Let's talk about it later at home.
Hello? Hello?
Hey!
Busy?
Talk about it at home?
I guess he's asking me to come home.
Of course.
He was worried that I ran out.
What's this?
They didn't even open the letter?
I don't believe this.
They didn't even know I ran away from home?
I don't believe this.
Fine.
This is how it's going to be?
Fine.
You live your lives.
I will live mine.
Mr. Ma, what's the rush?
All right. All right.
I will let you meet her.
Just wait.
She's not going anywhere.
All right.
I'll call you back.
Where are you going dressed like this?
I'm taking the evening off.
What are you talking about?
When did you ever give me notice?
Hey! Don't wrinkle my suit.
Why are you dressed like this?
What are you up to now?
Now you've resorted to
being a playboy and seducing women?
I'm doing the most important thing in my life.
Talking to you might bring me bad luck.
I'll get going now.
Wait...
I don't believe this.
Mom, come on.
Come on.
You said you'd meet him.
Why the cold feet now?
I was a bit mad before,
but this isn't right.
Just come with me.
Mom. Mom.
There he is.
Oh, gee...
Hello, young man.
Hello.
I'm Lee Baedal.
Say hello to each other.
This is my youngest daughter.
She's Choi Jeongmi, an instructor.
This is Lee Baedal,
the nice young man I told you about.
I heard a lot about you.
I know I'm supposed to make myself scarce.
I will get going now.
You two get to know each other.
Sit down.
Bye.
Goodbye, mother.
Hey.
You thought you couldn't win me over,
so you went and kissed up to my mom?
I told you.
Drink a glass of cold water and get a grip.
You call yourself a man after you use
an old lady to get me here?
If you like me, you should be more aggressive.
Jeongmi.
I'm ready to do anything to have you.
Oh.
You can't run away from me now.
Is this the newly harvested rice we got?
Each grain is big and consistent in size.
The surface looks clean and smooth.
It was polished 30 days ago.
I think it'll be good to make good wine.
Yes.
Hello.
I'll get going now.
Ms. Oh Bom.
What did you do at Master Kim's house?
He didn't say anything,
so I did simple chores here and there.
I hope you didn't make any mistakes.
Don't butt in our business from now on.
All right.
Don't stick your nose in
and ruin our business.
She did everything she could for the team.
Everyone has their own limited capacity.
You're the youngest member in the team,
just an intern. Right?
You think you're good enough to scout him?
Just focus on your own job here.
That's how you can repay me for hiring you.
All right, Ms. Choi.
Why are you so harsh to her?
What about you?
Why are you so nice to her?
Forget it.
Let's not talk about it anymore.
Yes, let's stop.
It's ridiculous for us to argue over her.
This is the revised contract.
I'm on my way to see Master Kim.
Join me.
I told you I'm busy today.
All right. Fine.
I'll go alone then.
Stalk hair, ghost...
Is it ready?
My gourd dipper.
What are you looking for?
My gourd dipper is gone.
Did you leave it at the master's place?
Did I?
I must have.
Oh, no.
We can't go get it right now.
We have no choice.
I'll buy you another one.
She said it was very valuable to her.
Master Kim.
I'm Choi Aran from Punggildang.
Master Kim!
Where did he go?
Did he leave already? Oh, no.
Stalk hair, ghost...
Ah.
Excuse me. Who are you?
You can't be in here.
This wine has no energy.
It has no pulse.
Where is Mr. An?
Where? Where is he?
Over here.
Excuse me, sir.
What are you doing here?
When was this rice wine made?
That's none of your business.
Get out of here immediately. Get out.
The kitchen is off limits to customers.
Huh!
I was just passing by and smelled rice wine.
Don't be so harsh.
If you don't leave right this minute,
I will call the cops.
Get out.
Where is the manager's office?
I'd like to talk to him.
Why do you want to talk to him?
Get out.
Please leave.
Oh, gee.
Good wine comes from generosity,
but you have none.
Yes, I'm not a generous man.
Goodbye.
What a strange, old man.
How can he peek at our rice wine?
We just got over the blogger's situation
and now it's this old man?
Sir.
What are you doing here?
You asked me to come and make rice wine.
What?
Let's do it.
You're accepting our offer?
I was just passing by and
it doesn't seem like a bad place to make wine.
Thank you.
Someone told me that
this wine has a taste of yearning.
Let's try to make the customers
drink my wine and
yearn for our traditional liquor.
Thank you.
We will do our best to make you
comfortable while you make wine here.
That's not necessary.
There's a small girl here, right?
What was her name?
What?
You mean Ms. Oh Bom?
Yes, Bom. That girl.
Place her as my assistant.
That's my request.
What?
All right. She'll be happy to do it.
I went to see him but
he already traveled to another place.
I'll find him again and bring him here.
It's his joy to travel around the country
and make rice wine in different places.
Why don't we contact some other masters
instead of this unpredictable one?
There are many experts out there,
but Master Kim is the only one who
knows Punggildang's unique taste.
Ms. Bae.
Master Kim is at the pub.
What?
I just got a call from Manager An and
he agreed to make rice wine there.
When I talked to him last
he said he would think about it.
I guess he accepted our offer.
Yes. Good work.
I knew you would make it happen.
I didn't do it by myself.
I did it with Taeho.
I wondered if anyone could change his mind.
Good work.
Thank you.
He'll lead our distilling team from now on.
There's no need for a big welcome.
Get back to work.
I'll just come and go.
Thank you for coming, sir.
You're the youngest member in the team?
When did you make this wine?
It was sometime last week.
Hold on, please.
Yes. A week ago.
You don't even know the date you made this
and asked me to come make wine with you?
Look.
Even people get closer
when they remember each other
and call each other's name.
How can that rice wine mature well
when you don't know when it was made?
I'm sorry, sir.
I'll make sure I remember it from now on.
Oh, gee.
I shouldn't have come.
I should've known
what a clumsy girl you were
when I noticed that
you left your belongings behind.
I'm sorry, sir.
Thank you for coming, sir.
Our staff members still have a lot to learn.
Please be understanding.
I don't like professionals.
It's more meaningful to teach beginners.
Thank you for being so understanding.
Then let's go to my office and
talk about the contract.
There's no need for one.
I've revised the previous one with
conditions you would be satisfied with.
I said I don't need one.
Why do we need a contract?
If people like my rice wine,
I'll stay and make more.
If they don't like it,
I will just leave.
Sir.
He won't sign the contract.
What if he causes a mess
and just leaves without a word?
I'm sure he wouldn't do that.
He's a man who loves his freedom.
He doesn't want to be tied down by a contract.
Whose side are you on?
There is no side to take.
Forget it.
Why is Bom working with him?
He agreed to work here under one condition
which is making Bom his assistant.
What are you talking about?
I guess Bom did a good job at his place.
She stayed there for only two days,
but he must've been quite pleased with her.
Who is she anyway?
I finally got Paran out of the picture
and this girl is getting on my nerves.
What do you mean by that?
It's none of your business.
Aran.
What are you doing in this room?
It's nothing.
What is it?
Is something wrong at work?
No, not at all.
You know Paran was declared missing, right?
You've had a hard time, too.
Please clean this room out, dad.
Mom will never be able to do it.
I...
You're back and
the whole family is together now.
But I feel even more alone.
Aran.
Why do you say that?
That's not true.
I'm here for you.
Well, that's how I feel.
I want to find my place, too.
I'm sorry.
I got it.
I'll clean this room out myself
so that it doesn't bother you anymore.
It's such an honor.
I'm learning how to make wine from the master.
Do you know how great that is?
You were scolded the whole time, remember?
Not anyone gets to be scolded by the master.
Today was a great day.
Who can stop you?
Why don't we go out for dinner to celebrate?
I'd like that but
I have to close up today.
I'll finish really late.
Okay then.
Oh!
Oh, no.
I can't go in.
If we get caught cooking rice cakes here
you're taking all the blame, okay?
All right.
You just became an intern here,
so this part-timer will take the blame and leave.
Then I will put my faith in you and cook.
This is all you can do?
Step aside.
What do you think?
My mouth is on fire.
Yes, Jia?
What is it, Jia?
Is something wrong?
I'm scared, Maru.
I'm at mom's old workplace.
All right.
I'll be right there.
Wait for me.
Did something happen to Jia?
She went to get my mom's things
and got scared.
Okay. You should go.
Should I come with you?
You don't have to.
Jia is crying.
If I go home by myself,
I would continue to worry about her.
Besides, I comfort her better.
Thanks, Bom.
Why did she go there all by herself?
My dad worked around here, too.
What?
Nothing. I just miss my dad more today.
I don't know why I'm telling you this.
Jia.
Maru.
You should've told me earlier.
Why did you come here by yourself?
I don't know.
I'm such a fool.
I came to get her things,
but I'm too scared to go in.
This is where she died in the accident.
Your mom died from an accident here?
Yes.
Stay here. I'll go get her things.
I'm such a terrible daughter.
I can't even get my mom's things myself.
Everything you do for the first time is scary.
It was like that for me, too.
I'm Kim Hyeonsuk's son.
What took you so long?
Her things are over there.
You're Ms. Kim's son?
Yes.
I shouldn't say this about someone who's dead
but she made a whole mess and died.
She put us in a bind.
I'm sorry.
You renounced inheritance
so you didn't take on her debt, right?
He's taking too long.
Is there a lot to bring?
I don't know.
Stay here.
Let me go check on him.
You're making me stay here by myself?
I'll be right back.
Do you know Mr. Oh Yeongho
who passed away trying to save your mother?
He died because of your mother,
but his family didn't get any compensation.
I'm sorry.
