(Episode 37)
I...
They are too young and immature.
Please don't be harsh on them.
All right.
This is Paran.
Where is this picture from?
This is the picture that I lost...
Mr. Ma.
Do I look like a pushover to you?
I will go gather all women who were
harassed by you in the neighborhood, and
prove that you've been going around to be
introduced to young women to marry.
I will sue you as a group.
What are you saying I did?
What you did will come out in an investigation.
Go get the doctor's note on your injury.
I will sue you for holding my daughter's hands.
No, no. No, no.
What do you mean no?
I saw it all.
You pulled on Bom's hands when she refused.
How can someone your age do that?
Hey! You grabbed my daughter's hands?
You must go to jail.
Don't get too excited here, ma'am.
Be smart about this.
You can get sued by that young lady.
Oh my! Oh my!
Do you know how valuable she is to me?
My girl.
It's okay, mom. I'm fine.
Forget what happened today.
What? Forget what happened?
How dare you!
Unbelievable!
How could he tell a lie, knowing he'd get caught?
I'm sorry for making you come all this way.
I'm sorry for getting you involved in this.
So you know it's your fault?
It didn't have to come to this
if you hadn't punched him.
I'm glad you guys didn't get hurt.
How could you make him and Bom date?
Hey, you.
Mind your own business.
I was just worried about Bom.
You worry about your own son.
Let's go.
Good-bye.
Bom, did you...
Don't be friends with that boy, Maru.
Maru is the one who helped me.
If it weren't for him...
I don't want to hear it.
I knew it would end up like this.
I paid Mr. Ma for the meat he gave me for free
after complaining that you humiliated him.
He changed his mind and went to see you.
You gave him the money I gave you for interest?
Where else would I have gotten the money?
Then I...
Fine. It's good that you paid him.
It was wrong of you to make me go on a blind date
with him in the first place.
You're right.
Who knew he's such a terrible man?
I thought he was just a rich man.
Don't tell me to go on a blind date ever again.
Okay?
Did you reject him because you like someone else?
I heard that a man at work paid off the money
that girl gave me last time.
How did you know?
I have a way of finding out.
If it's someone who is able to pay that much money
it would be okay to date him.
There you go again.
You're going too far.
What happened?
You got your dad to pick you up at the police?
Unbelievable.
Did you get in a fight?
It's not like that.
It looks like two men fought over a woman.
A saint like Maru wouldn't fight over a girl.
He may get beat up, but not get into fights.
Did you get beat up?
Let me see.
Nothing like that happened. Don't worry.
You're worried about your brother?
Of course!
He's my one and only brother in the world.
I'm glad it was nothing.
How is this nothing?
He upset his father,
and disturbed Punggildang CEO's family.
Mom, Maru didn't do anything wrong.
He got in trouble while helping a friend out.
Please don't say that.
Why don't you just move out?
Maru, I think you got into this trouble
because you haven't found your way.
Come work at the headquarters now.
What?
Maru, I want you to show all your abilities.
I thank you, but...
Yes, do as she says.
She's doing this for you.
What is she talking about?
The headquarters?
Ms. Bae thinks of Maru
as her own son or the successor of Punggildang.
What kind of nonsense is that?
How is he her son or the successor?
Ms. Bae did say Maru is her child, too.
Congratulations, Maru.
Thank you, Ms. Bae.
Maru, everyone is so happy for you.
Do as I say.
You and Bom seemed close lately.
Are you two dating?
Well...
I like her a lot.
I see.
I knew you two were close for a while.
But after today, I'm a bit worried.
Bom's mom isn't so nice to you, and
is thinking of marrying Bom off to a man like that.
It's okay that you and Bom are friends,
but I hope you two don't start a relationship.
Dad, Bom is a great girl.
I know.
But I want you to meet an ordinary girl
who grew up with a conventional family.
Someone who can make you feel comfortable.
By the way, were you holding onto this?
I saw this picture in Bom's mom's ledger.
I see.
I saw this on the floor at the police station.
She must've kept it from when we lived there.
This is your youngest daughter who's missing?
Yes.
She should be your age by now.
I'll take a picture of you with this camera I made.
Aran, don't move until you count to a hundred.
Okay.
Get along with your sister, okay?
Okay.
I didn't get to thank you.
Thank you for taking care of Maru.
I should've moved him to the headquarters
when he decided not to study abroad.
I am a bit late.
Thank you.
Isn't that our girls' picture?
I thought I lost it, but I found it.
I thought they'd be with us always back then.
Why don't you keep it?
Thank you.
Aran will get engaged soon.
Parents of both families will meet soon.
You should join us, Jeonggi.
I don't know if I qualify to...
What are you talking about?
Who else is qualified to be there?
You're the head of this family.
That's right, dad.
You should say hello to Taeho's parents.
We'll set a date for the engagement,
and I plan on marrying them off in the spring.
I'll talk to Taeho about that.
Everything is going well finally.
My granddaughter gets married,
and my son is the father of the bride.
You're lucky that you're getting married.
You got married, too.
You even got divorced.
If you're jealous, get married again.
Hey!
Aran, tell your fiance to come say hello.
Your aunt and I can't meet him otherwise.
All right.
Oh Bom!
Don't be so lazy.
Cut off the hair off the mussels
and clean the shells thoroughly.
I'm doing it right now.
Stop working me so hard.
I'll be needing these mussels at the pub today,
so finish it up before you go to work.
Must you make me do this before I go to work?
Who else would do it?
If you helped me around the house
instead of hanging out with that boy,
you wouldn't have ended at the police station.
How is that Maru and my fault?
Fine, fine. It's all my fault.
It's my fault for trying to find you
a rich husband so you could have a good life.
What if I'm late to work at this rate?
There will be a photo shoot today for the ad.
People from the headquarters will be here,
so make sure you don't make any mistakes.
Yes, Mr. An.
What's the concept for the photo shoot?
That's none of your business.
Focus on keeping the pub clean.
Yes, sir.
Go and check it out now.
Yes, sir.
Bom.
Was everything okay last night?
Sure.
Did your family yell at you?
Let's not talk about it anymore.
Sure. Let's focus on the good stuff.
I heard that Mr. An is looking for me.
Maybe it's because of the photo shoot.
You're here, Ms. Oh.
I've been waiting for you.
Come with me.
Mr. An.
You're so beautiful, Ms. Oh.
Don't I look awkward?
You really look great.
Thank you.
Your boyfriend is such a gentleman.
I think this is a little too much.
It's okay for today.
You're here, Ms. Choi.
Gyeongwu is setting up for the photo shoot.
Where's Taeho?
Is he busy?
Oh, Mr. An.
Here he comes.
Look who it is.
Are you really Oh Bom?
You're a completely different person today.
I didn't recognize you.
You embarrass me...
Wow.
I'll go check on the photo shoot setup.
Oh Bom, what do you think you're doing?
Why are you wearing makeup?
She has a photo shoot today.
Look, Ms. Oh.
Don't you know that it's your rice wine that's
in the spotlight and not you?
I know that.
Isn't it common sense to spend more time
thinking about how to make better wine
instead of wasting time putting on makeup?
Are you trying to make rice wine
or cheaply lure customers?
That was rather harsh.
I told you to stay out of the wine bar's business.
You are mistaken, Taeho.
The bar's business is Punggildang's business.
As Punggildang's team leader, I have a say, too.
We're very busy here, so why don't you leave?
Don't you know that you should look natural?
Don't just stand there.
Go remove that makeup and tie your hair.
Don't let it look messy like this.
Come on.
Go do as I say.
Don't listen to her.
Go get ready for the shoot now.
What is this mess?
Well...
We need to take photos for the publicity pamphlet.
Please try to be understanding.
Please pose naturally together.
I'll take pictures of you making porridge now.
Good.
Keep stirring.
He's trying to take pictures.
This time, look at the camera and smile.
Forget it!
You invited me to make rice wine,
and you make me do something ridiculous?
Darn it!
I'm not doing this!
Sir! Sir!
I'm sorry.
Be honest with me.
Do you really want to make rice wine
or is it an excuse to become popular?
I'm sorry.
I got too excited that I forgot my objective.
It's my fault.
This is why I refused to come to Punggildang.
Are you asking me to make rice wine
or put on a show for people?
There must be a misunderstanding.
What misunderstanding?
I was wrong about you.
I thought you could be somebody,
but I was wrong.
Please forgive me just once.
What are you doing?
Are you trying to embarrass me?
You said wine takes time to mature.
Please forgive Ms. Oh just this one
so that she can mature like wine.
I will focus on the rice wine.
I won't disappoint you ever again.
Get up.
Get rid of that makeup and
prepare leaven to make rice wine tomorrow.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
I will do my best.
Good-bye, Jeongmi.
You're still acting like this?
Don't act like your life is over
because you lost $2,400.
I can't believe what a fool I am.
I'm so foolish that I fell for
my friend's lie that he'll multiply
my $2,400 to $12,000 in a month.
Oh, geez!
Until when are you going to act like this?
You're not eating anything.
What's the point of eating?
I'm just going to starve to death. Leave.
Oh, geez!
How can he say that to me, huh?
What am I going to do with you?
Even putting on makeup can't hide my wrinkles.
Aunt Jeongmi!
Grandma says you should eat breakfast first.
I won't die just because I skip breakfast.
Tell her I'm not eating.
You look older screaming like that.
Oh my god!
Are those dark circles or sun spots?
Oh no!
Hey.
So stop yelling and start smiling.
You look older if you keep frowning.
Oh, no.
Your brother made pumpkin porridge
for everyone, so come out and eat.
She's not eating.
Pumpkin is good for women.
Why wouldn't you eat it?
What's the point of eating it?
Am I even a woman?
My life is over now.
No one will think of me as a woman.
I'm not eating.
You shouldn't that in front of your mom.
Don't eat then!
I'll eat it all.
You won't turn pretty by looking in the mirror.
Hey!
I'll kill you!
Come here.
What's wrong with her?
Something must be wrong at work.
Let her be!
Her life is complicated after a man fooled her.
Jeongmi, I made pumpkin porridge, your favorite.
Come eat before you go.
No thanks. Enjoy it yourself.
Is Jeongmi upset about something?
Forget it.
Why are all men around here foolish like you?
No one can be Punggildang's model but me.
I'm beautiful with a great body,
and I love Punggildang.
I'm perfect.
Why are there so many applicants?
Oh, gee.
Excuse me.
Oh, come on.
Get in line.
Is this the right place?
Excuse, miss. Don't cut in line.
Miss with the sunglasses.
Miss?
Me?
Oh my.
Is this where I sign up to be Punggildang model?
Yes.
Here.
Just leave it here.
Oh. No, no.
Leave mine on top
where everyone can see.
Like this.
Thank you for all your hard work.
There are so many applicants.
Yes, many people like the idea.
Keep up the good work then.
That was close.
Wait, why am I hiding?
I'm not doing anything illegal.
I'm offering my beauty to Punggildang.
Oh, gee.
Oh, you scared me.
Aran, what are you doing here?
What are you doing here, mother?
I was planning to go see you at home.
Really?
Why would you plan to come see me?
You have something to tell me?
I've neglected you too much recently
because I got caught up with work.
Now you realize that?
You're smart, but have no manners.
But I don't have a choice
since Taeho likes you.
I'm just trying to be understanding.
We'll become family soon.
I'd like to become closer to you.
All right.
I'm glad you're realized that now.
Did you hear the news from Taeho?
My parents want to have dinner with you
to discuss our engagement.
Taeho has been so busy that
I haven't seen him for days.
Then why does he need to be a part of this?
The parents should go ahead and plan it.
I'll do whatever you suggest.
Of course.
You know that you can't tell Taeho or my husband
that I applied for the Punggildang model, okay?
If you mistakenly tell them, you'll be done for.
I'm on your side. Why would I make that mistake?
Bom, get a grip and work.
How is it that the porridge is too thick,
but then it becomes too watery if I add water?
Should I ask Auntie how to do it?
Can you teach me how to make good porridge?
She must be making Master Kim's porridge wine.
They say you get grey hairs from the stress of it.
I'll come by tomorrow to help you.
I even have a rice paddle that works well.
Wow! If she has a paddle that works well,
she must've made it many times.
I shouldn't complain about making it this once.
You can do it, Bom.
Bom!
How can you work without a break?
I'm impressed.
So what?
I can't even make good porridge.
No one is good from the beginning.
You'll get better.
Thanks for saying that.
My head is spinning from stirring it too much.
I could've helped if I worked in the kitchen.
You shouldn't do a job like this.
You wrote a publicity proposal for our pub.
So what? I'm busy cleaning bathrooms
and organizing the storage room.
I thought Mr. An would give you different tasks.
It's a bit disappointing, huh?
What different tasks?
I just need to focus on the tasks I'm told to do.
Sit and rest.
I just stir like this?
If you stir too hard, you'll run out of energy.
You rest.
You must be tired from working all day.
Mom, let's go home together.
I need to finish reading this.
Why don't you go home first?
Aren't you working too hard these days?
I asked Mr. An and he said
you work until late more often, and
you go to the bar often, too.
Yes, there's a lot to do.
You can tell me to do some of the work.
I'm here for you.
Yes, you're here.
I also asked Maru to come work here.
What? What are you talking about?
Why would Maru work here?
I've been watching him,
and he's prudent and responsible.
He would do a good job here.
You should've talked to me about it first.
I'm talking to you now.
Treat him well when he comes here to work.
We can't give him hard tasks from the start,
but if we continue to teach him
he'll be a big help to you.
Hello.
Is this what you were after?
What?
Is this why you asked to work at the pub?
What are you talking about?
Did you want to kiss up to my mother so that
you can work at the headquarters?
You think you'll be able to work there?
I refused when Ms. Bae offered it.
Are you saying she begged you to come work there?
To work by her side?
You think you're family because you live with us?
You are not my mom's son nor
are you my dad's son.
You're just living there thanks to your stepdad.
Don't you dare try to work at headquarters!
Don't worry. I don't intend to do that.
Maru.
If you're ready to go home, let's go.
You were surprised, right?
I never even imagined it
because Mr. Choi is so nice to you.
Really?
It's been awhile since I'd thought
about my dad being my step dad.
He and my mom lived together since I was 5.
I knew he wasn't my birth father,
but I called him dad anyway.
I was just excited that I had a father.
But I feel so lonely today.
Dad feels distant, too.
I don't have a real family around me.
Bom, do you miss your dad, too?
I miss my mom a little more day by day.
I miss her even more today.
I do miss my dad.
At least you have your mom by your side.
Sure, I have Ms. Lee Midal by my side.
Maru, you don't have parents, either?
You and I are both orphans.
What's the point of eating?
Then don't eat.
You don't deserve it.
I'm home.
You're home.
Come and eat.
I didn't eat the rolled egg and saved it for you.
I'm so hungry. You're the best, Ga-eul.
You haven't eaten yet?
That's why I told you to marry a rich man...
Midal!
I told you not to say that to Bom.
You scared me!
He is indeed your uncle.
He's taking his niece's side.
You're the best, Uncle Baedal. Thanks.
I don't deserve to be your uncle.
What's going on with you?
What's wrong?
Why are you so upset?
He lost $2,400 which was everything he had.
Oh, no.
I don't know what happened,
but just consider you learned a valuable lesson.
A man shouldn't be so upset over that.
It's not because of the money.
If it isn't, is it a woman issue?
Every woman is after money.
How can he have a girlfriend?
Right, I don't deserve to have a girlfriend.
Cheer up, Uncle Baedal.
Good things will happen to us soon.
Can you give me allowance for me to cheer up?
Ga-eul!
Don't you see your sister working hard?
She's working her tail off these days,
and you're busy asking for money?
Never mind then!
I don't want it anymore.
Oh Ga-eul.
Aren't you supposed to do the dishes today?
Fine, I'll do it. I'll do it for you.
I'm sure her secret stash is here somewhere.
What are you doing?
I was looking for a blank notebook.
You thought I would steal your money?
Here.
Forget it. I don't need it.
I'll buy my own.
I guess she didn't see this.
I need to find Bom her birth parents.
You're off to work this early?
There's something I need to do.
By the way, thank you.
For taking good care of Jia and Maru.
I finally feel like I'm being a good dad to them.
I'm sorry about being so mean to you.
I tell myself not to be mean,
but then I'm reminded of the past.
You didn't say anything mean to me.
This doesn't mean I forgive you.
Wait.
It's cold today. Here.
You should eat breakfast.
The rice is almost ready.
I need to meet someone.
All right. Have a good day.
(I need to find Bom her birth parents.)
He tried to look for my birth parents?
Why? He kept it a secret for years.
This is Oh Bom.
Oh, it's you.
Do you know where the wine record is?
It's here.
That's good.
Can you bring it to the office right now?
It's urgent.
I'll be right there.
She has to make porridge with all this?
Her arms are going to be so tired.
A rice paddle?
Is auntie here?
Where is she?
Auntie!
