(Episode 68) We've decided to sell
Punggildang wines at all our restaurants
starting tomorrow.
Pardon?
It's because of you that I'm doing this.
We're all set.
We'll never supply your restaurant chain.
Aran.
You...
You can speak?
Why did you deceive us?
So what?
What do you mean, so what?
Why did you pretend you couldn't speak?
What's it to you whether
I can speak or
lose my speech forever?
You're worrying the family.
So why did you have to show up
and force me to stoop this low?
You're so unfair.
What's with you?
Let go.
You won't tattletale to mom and dad, right?
Are you scared?
How much lower will you stoop?
You two were around.
We were hoping to have a family lunch.
Yes.
There's a place we used to take you to.
Um...
I have to tend to an urgent work matter.
I'm sorry.
Were you really thinking of ratting me out?
How can you be so shameless?
What about how hurt mom and dad will be?
Are you serious?
You say you worry about them
and yet you deceive them?
Then give me a chance to tell them myself.
When will you tell them?
How much longer
must I watch our family worry?
Don't act like you're the only good daughter.
I'll figure this out on my own.
Fine.
You figure out your own problems.
Wasn't that call earlier
from the Korean restaurant franchise?
If you try to sabotage me at work again,
I won't sit back.
He was demanding compensation yesterday,
but now he wants us to be their supplier.
At any rate, congratulations.
You pulled a major feat, Bom.
Yes, she did.
The sales team spent two years trying
to win a supply deal with them
but failed.
We're very proud of you, Bom.
Thank you.
I think it was more luck than anything else.
Plus, Mr. Kim put in a good word for us.
I didn't know Bom was this good at sales.
Ms. Bae, shouldn't Bom
be scouted by the Marketing team?
But what was the owner talking about?
He said someone answered the phone
and said Punggildang would
never do business with them.
There must have been a mix-up.
The franchise owner found it amusing.
It's nice to see you congratulating your sister.
Excuse us.
Yes, Ms. Bae.
Did Mr. Kim Ungho just stop by Marketing?
Um... I'm not sure.
I'm sorry about what happened earlier.
The staff offended you by
being overly cautious.
Whatever.
Take these wines back.
Please don't be angry
and just try the wines so that
I can make you see Punggildang in a new light.
Do you know what type of people I hate most?
Those who are judgmental and biased.
I was very offended by how I was treated today
by the staff at Punggildang.
I apologize for that,
and I vow to serve you well.
Please allow me to make it up to you
with our wines.
It's an opportunity to
supply our wines all over North America.
Mr. Kim, please reconsider.
Can you drive?
Yes, of course.
Come with me.
Where did he go without
locking up?
What if a burglar had broken in again?
Mr. Kang. Mr. Kang.
He's not here either.
He came without a suitcase.
If he left,
there's nothing I can do.
How could I have stopped him from leaving?
Mr. Kang.
You're here.
How could you
leave the pub untended?
I went to the market.
You went shopping without
knowing what we needed?
I thought about what
you'd like as I shopped.
How would you know
what I'd like?
That's not hard.
I'm interested,
so I pay attention.
I haven't worked out in a while.
One, two.
This is a good workout.
Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, no. / - You got your sleeve wet.
I'm fine.
Why are you groping me?
Groping you?
Why would you put it like that?
What should I do with the vegetables?
Since Baedal's arrival,
we've gotten a good start on
getting Jeonggi into Gukhui's bedroom, right?
Man and wife must find their rightful place
to set a good example for their kids.
To that end, I will make sure Jeonggi and
Gukhui can be one in mind and body.
But the thing is,
today is a special day...
The real problem here is Jia.
I'm scared she's going astray
and will get herself into trouble.
You don't say.
A proper young lady shouldn't
come home drunk on some guy's back.
I'm leaving.
I can't live here
because of the two daughters.
Threatening to leave again?
Fine. Go ahead and leave.
It won't bother anyone here if you leave.
Enough already.
Being a brat isn't an option for you.
Your standing here is precarious
even if you were on your best behavior.
How can you say that, Aunt Midal?
I'm really leaving this time.
She's just worried about you, Jia.
Stop your tantrum
and catch a movie with your friends.
Do you think I'm in the mood for a movie?
Why are you so oblivious?
Don't come home too late though.
What was that?
No one stopped me
from leaving.
I'm never coming back here.
You're so stupid.
How can you leave without a plan?
You have nowhere to go.
I don't know.
I thought
at least one person would beg me to stay.
That's why you should've had a plan.
If someone had stopped you,
then great.
But you should have had a plan B
in case no one did.
Are you lecturing me because
you're a veteran?
I just feel bad for you.
I made this rice punch for you.
It kept bothering me that I never made it
for you when you were staying with us.
You shooed me away like
a stray dog,
so why are you here being nice?
This won't
get your son married into this family.
The ship has sailed for Taeho,
so don't waste
your time and go home.
Indeed.
They don't let just anyone into this family.
You need to be as qualified as me
to have a shot.
But our two families' close ties
can't be severed just like that.
We've been through so much together.
We're through with your family.
You should've been nicer to me.
I've had it with you too.
There's no one here
who will support you.
Ma'am,
you're hurting my feelings.
Oh, my goodness.
Looks like you were making kimchi salad.
My kimchi salad sauce is to die for.
What are you trying to pull?
No matter how hard you try,
you won't get anything from us.
Get out.
Stop touching our things.
Good grief.
Ma'am, please forgive me.
Aran probably developed aphasia
because she's starved for love.
Won't she be cured
if she marries Taeho?
The entire family is losing sleep because
we're so worried about our dear Aran.
How dare you spew such nonsense!
It's because I'm worried too.
Aran's sick because she misses Taeho.
- What's with you? / - Oh, my goodness.
Why are you making us feel worse?
Why are you rubbing salt on
our precious baby's wound?
But, ma'am,
be that as it may, this is just...
Nothing's looked better on you.
Perhaps because you're so slimy, the smell
of the pickled fish in the salad suits you.
It stinks.
Good grief.
Hey, have some.
Get up.
You can't sleep here.
You probably shouldn't be sleeping here.
This is maddening.
I don't believe this.
I knew the old hag had no say in that family,
but I put up with her for Taeho's sake.
She's just so ignorant.
Oh, the stench...
Hey, Suho. An Suho.
Are you home?
Hey, An Suho,
why didn't you come out to say hello?
You're home.
Are you napping the day away again?
Wait a minute.
What is this?
It's nothing, mom. It's just...
What is this?
Good heavens, child.
What are you doing here?
Oh, my goodness.
Why are you in my son's bed?
What do you think you're doing?
Let go.
Wait, mom.
We didn't do anything.
She simply dozed off on my bed.
Not a peep, you little fiend.
You're a piece of work, aren't you?
You're just a half-breed in Ms. Bae's family.
How dare you
try to seduce my son!
Suho even studied in Canada.
A half-breed?
Shouldn't an adult speak like an adult?
How can you be so rude?
And I wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole.
How dare you talk back!
Didn't your mother teach you better?
Stop it, mom.
Aren't you taking it too far?
Stay out of this.
Go and get Ms. Bae.
Get her here
so we can tell her what happened here.
If your mind's made up about leaving,
I won't stop you.
If things get tough wherever you end up,
you can always return home to us.
I hope you're not leaving because of me.
Of course not. That's not the case at all.
Thank you for everything.
My goodness.
Jia kept hounding us to get you back home.
But now that you're here,
she's nowhere to be found.
It was like fate that you stayed at Midal's pub.
Your stay there was brief,
but I should've looked out for you
as a fellow tenant.
Don't say that.
You just worry about your own life, Baedal.
Maru,
you know I love you, right?
Don't forget that you'll always be my nephew.
I won't, Aunt Midal.
Once a nephew, always a nephew.
Look at you joking around.
I'm sorry I said so many mean things to you.
You know I didn't really mean it, right?
I lashed out at you because I was upset
your dad was so demoralized here.
You have to see that.
Yes, I do.
When I was little, you got me candy and
walked me to school once in a while.
That's right.
Don't forget you promised you'd be
my drinking buddy from time to time.
I won't.
Maru.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I'm sorry I was a coward.
Once you moved in and
I watched you up close, I didn't know
what to do about my feelings for you.
I know.
But I won't hold back anymore.
I'll be true to my feelings.
That's why I'm leaving.
I want to be deserving of you.
(Oh Bom)
I thought I should give it to you.
If you go missing,
I'd be contacted.
Go on in. It's cold.
We'll see each other at the office every day.
But it's still a shame...
Good night.
Maru.
Come on in.
It's cramped and uncomfortable,
but stay with me for now.
If I'm by your side,
you can chew me out whenever
you feel resentful toward me.
I'm serious.
Lash out at me for the pain
and suffering I caused you.
If that will make you feel better,
I'm more than willing to oblige.
It wasn't just hatred that I felt toward you.
That's why I resented you even more.
Honey,
do you really not know what today is?
Think carefully.
What's with you?
What's today?
My goodness. Today is that day.
What is today, mother?
The senior citizens' center is
having a pre-New Year
rice cake soup party tonight, right?
We should all go and
have dinner there.
I'm all set.
How much longer do you plan to laze around?
You quit your sales manager job at the pub,
so you should be looking for work,
not idling about.
It's just pathetic.
He's like a grasshopper.
The grasshopper in the fable "The Ant and
the Grasshopper."
Hey, honey.
Because you say I'm pathetic instead of
respecting me as your husband,
Chisaem looks down on me too.
I'm doing my best to find a job.
Baedal, I'm making spicy chicken tonight.
Why don't you chop up the chicken?
Not you too.
You guys really don't care about me.
It's Baedal's birthday today.
I wonder if they made him seaweed soup.
Mom, what's for dinner?
Oh, man. It's seaweed soup.
I don't like the slippery texture.
Don't you know what today is?
Of course I do.
It's Uncle Baedal's birthday.
I got him a present,
but he won't stop by, right?
He was ecstatic to leave for his wife's family.
Why would he stop by?
They probably threw him a feast
for his first birthday with them.
So why are you making seaweed soup?
I don't know why I'm making this either.
Mom. Gaeul.
It's Bom.
Bom is here.
Bom.
Why are you here?
How's your cold?
I heard you got it bad.
Why didn't you wait until I was dead?
I kept calling to tell you how sick I was,
but you never came by.
I'm sorry.
I was very busy.
The red vest looks great on you.
Huh?
I put it on because it was lying around.
Take it back.
It's not my style.
It's Uncle Baedal's birthday,
so I got cake.
It's cream cake, your favorite.
Why did you bring that here?
Baedal's at your place.
Take that and go home.
If your birth mother finds out you're here,
she'll come at me
with a menacing look
and threaten me again.
Why are you always shooing Bom away?
Bom, sit.
You know mom's actually very happy
to see you, right?
I'm Ms. Lee Midal's daughter.
Of course I know.
Since you're here, stay for dinner then.
How am I supposed to go in there?
Do I say I'm here to get something?
Hey.
Why are you loitering in front of my house?
Midal.
You said you loved your rich in-laws.
Why are you here at this dump?
When did I say that?
I took off because I was upset.
Why are you exaggerating?
I feel bad about what happened.
I came because I missed you.
Missed me? Give me a break.
Good grief.
Midal.
Geez, Midal.
Midal, I missed you, so...
Uncle Baedal, happy birthday.
Happy happy birthday, Uncle Baedal.
You guys remembered my birthday?
Of course.
I even got cake
for us to celebrate.
And mom prepared your birthday dinner.
Don't put ideas in his head.
I made seaweed soup because I was craving it.
Midal.
You're the best.
Stop grossing me out.
Don't tell me they didn't
even make you seaweed soup there.
Bom, be honest with me.
Did they make seaweed soup for breakfast?
Blow the candles out first, Uncle Baedal.
Baedal. Baedal.
Oh, no.
Baedal, I'm sorry.
I forgot that it was your birthday.
Whatever.
I hinted at it all day.
How can you forget your husband's birthday?
Why did you merely hint at it?
You should've just told me.
You should have remembered.
How can you forget his first birthday with you?
You guys didn't even make him soup then?
How can your family be so egotistical
and self-centered?
I don't like it that you're badmouthing my family.
Plus, Midal,
what's the big deal?
Birthdays come around every year.
How can you say that after
forgetting your husband's birthday?
Forgetting to make soup isn't a mortal sin.
It's supposed to be a happy occasion.
You two are always butting heads.
I'm so mad.
I'll sing "Happy Birthday."
No. Sit down.
Let's just eat.
Geez, Baedal. Why are you embarrassing her?
Aren't you going to blow out the candles?
Darn it.
Forget the stupid candles.
Eat.
Maru,
shouldn't you go say hello
since you'll be living here?
Yes.
But Ms. Lee doesn't like me.
You're a man, so be one.
You're the best, Midal.
- Eat, eat. / - Thanks.
The entire family is here.
Oh, my goodness.
What brings you here?
I didn't know you were here, Bom.
Maru.
Welcome, Mr. Kang.
Thanks.
I came to tell you that I'm hoping to stay
in the room at the pub with my son.
Your son? What are you talking about?
Mr. Kang is your father?
Yes. He's my birth father.
I did hear you found your birth father.
That's a good thing,
but I'm mad at you.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
We can tell you the full story later.
Whose birthday is it today?
Mine.
We didn't know, so there's no present,
but we got rice cakes for Ms. Lee.
Please have some.
Let's sit.
Sure. Why not?
Join us for dinner.
Thank you.
Midal, we should go.
Let's go, Baedal.
Honey, I'm going to stay with Midal for now.
What? You're staying here?
Baedal.
We only just moved out
a few days ago.
We can't come back just yet.
At least she prepared a birthday dinner for me.
This is all over some stupid dinner?
Let's go. We can talk about this.
Hey,
he says
he doesn't want to go.
He can stay, and you can go.
Midal,
you're supposed to stop us from fighting.
As someone older, you should be
stopping us from our lovers' spat
instead of egging us on.
I didn't egg you on.
Think about it when you get home.
You can live here with Baedal
or the two of you should reconsider.
Reconsider?
Are you hoping we'll split up?
I just want you to reflect on things.
Why are you so twisted?
Baedal, wasn't she implying that we divorce?
That's not what it sounded like to me.
You took it out of context.
Oh, wow. I'm dumbfounded.
Let's go, Chisaem.
Whatever.
What gives her the right to be angry?
She's the one who's at fault.
Um...
So what happened?
Maru is your son?
So all this time,
you left him in someone else's care?
I'm so ashamed.
You need not be ashamed in front of me.
So after you and Maru's mom divorced,
did you remarry?
No.
I've been alone ever since.
I see.
You're single.
Won't it be uncomfortable in this tiny room?
There were three of us here before.
Don't worry about me.
Just get yourself settled at Ms. Bae's.
I'm glad you reconciled with your dad.
I don't know if I have.
He reached out to me, so I went on board.
We have a lot to work through.
Thank you.
Son.
What are you two doing in here?
Kang Maru.
I can't believe I'm seeing you off to work.
Thank you.
I'll see you later.
Yes, Mr. Kim.
Okay.
I thought I'd find her today.
People think I'm Korean-American,
but I was actually adopted when I was little.
I look for my mom
whenever I come to Korea,
but to no avail.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Don't be.
I've been thinking about you since
we came looking for her yesterday.
Do you know why I went to Punggildang?
Because of the barley tea Ms. Oh brought me.
It reminded me of how my mom used to make it
for me when I had an upset stomach.
I see.
No delicacy has been as delicious.
That's what Ms. Oh reminded me of.
I had a very good impression of Punggildang...
I'm sorry about the unfortunate incident.
I apologize on our company's behalf.
It wasn't your fault.
Why are you apologizing?
So Mr. Kim Ungho is looking for
his long-lost mother, right?
Yes. I really want him to find her,
so I've made some calls,
but I haven't heard back.
Why don't we get TV networks involved?
Don't waste work hours on personal matters.
If you want to help him,
do so after work.
That's right.
Mr. Kim won't sign with us even if we help him.
Come on.
Kang Maru speaking.
The son's name...
Yes. It is Kim Ungho.
Which hospital?
What do you want from me?
I'm on my way to Punggildang.
We can talk face to face.
Plus, I need to let Ms. Bae's daughter, Bom,
know who abandoned her.
Hey!
What makes you think you can come here?
Mr. An?
You were on the phone.
What is it, Ms. Bae?
I wanted to discuss Bom's transfer to the lab,
but we can talk about it later.
Yes, Ms. Bae.
He's coming here to see Bom?
No. Never.
Bom.
Yes, Mr. An.
Congratulations on your appointment
to the wine restoration lab.
Thank you.
The lab needs mineral water
for a new wine they're working on.
Could you go and get it?
Mineral water?
That's right.
They're in a rush,
but they're short-staffed.
I was hoping you could help out.
Okay.
Good.
I wish we could go together tomorrow,
but I have so much on my plate.
Thanks for doing this.
Sure thing.
Alright.
Bom, where are you going?
The lab urgently needs mineral water.
I'll see you when I get back.
Bom.
Isn't it a bit much?
No matter how urgently the lab needs water,
how can Mr. An send Bom?
I know.
I had to go with my intern buddies,
and it was a rough hike.
It's cold out too.
Aran, this is for the Administrative team.
Take a look.
Maybe I should have gone
with Bom to fetch that mineral water.
What did you just say?
Where did Bom go?
To a mountain spring maintained by the lab.
Really?
Tae...
Was Bom already here?
Bom. Bom.
Let's snap a picture here.
Let's stand here.
Come. Come.
- Go ahead. / - Here we go.
1, 2, 3.
- Did it come out well? / - Yes.
Just a bit more.
Let's go.
Come on.
Let's go.
(Park Entrance)
I followed the signs.
How odd.
This isn't how I came up.
