(Episode 84) Mr. An,
what are these?
(For Mr. An Gilsu)
Why do you have them?
Did you have me tailed?
Of course not.
Of course I didn't.
Then what are these photos?
I needed to know where
you lived and
that you were
safe and healthy.
I wanted to
get you back home somehow,
so I hired someone to help.
I'm sorry.
All I do is worry you.
I felt so guilty when you went missing.
We finally found you,
but you left us again.
Bom,
can't you go back home?
I don't know what to do.
I can help you
get acclimated.
Or would you rather go back to Ms. Lee's?
Whatever you want,
I'm here to help you.
I'm sorry.
I keep causing you grief.
That's not true.
I'm sure this is hard for you as well.
We need to talk.
You won't
believe me anyway.
You never told me you went to see Master Kim.
And you said you left the ring in the bathroom.
But none of that was true.
Other people will find out
just like I have.
If I tell you the truth,
will you be on my side?
I'm always on your side.
I hurt Master Kim.
Master Kim died.
But it was an accident.
Aran...
What did you just say?
What did you do to Master Kim?
Bom...
Did you really hurt Master Kim?
What are you talking about?
Me? Hurt Master Kim?
That's ridiculous.
I think you misheard, Bom.
You were acting strangely the day he disappeared.
Something definitely happened.
Whatever happened to him
was all for Punggildang's sake.
You're the owner's daughter too.
Shouldn't you let it slide
for the greater good?
So did you really...
Yes. It was me.
Aran!
I'm sure nothing's wrong.
Aran's just worked up right now.
I'm sure it's nothing.
How did you...
I was so out of it earlier.
I didn't know what I was saying.
What would I have done to Master Kim?
I don't know what happened,
but you did put him in danger and
frame him for tainting the wine.
Then will you resolve this?
But I...
The press is saying we put artificial sweetener
in our wines.
How will you make that go away?
I'm doing this for you.
I want you to return to Punggildang one day
to make wines and be happy.
What if Master Kim returns
and proves his innocence?
Stop it.
That will never happen.
Aran...
Taeho.
Why are you so jumpy?
It's nothing.
Aran, did you
really do something you shouldn't have?
What are you implying?
What did I tell you?
I'll protect you no matter what.
I'll always be on your side.
Get off me.
Good grief.
You don't know anything, do you?
What's with you?
Aran's home.
Don't humiliate yourself like this.
Father,
you must have had too much to drink.
I'm so ashamed, Aran.
Oh, my goodness.
What's the matter with you?
If you're ashamed,
why did you drink so much?
You should go to bed.
You're remarkable for marrying Taeho despite
knowing what a scumbag I am.
Just remarkable.
You're not a scumbag.
How can you say that?
You've worked day and night
for her mother's company.
Taeho's now married to Aran, and given how much
you've done for Punggildang, Taeho
deserves to rise to the very top.
You're so lucky.
Ignorance is bliss.
Father, you have me.
I'll make it all go away.
I'll take care of everything.
You should get some sleep.
Come on, dad.
Be careful.
Good grief.
What's with everyone?
Did something happen at work?
Is he really seeing someone?
But if I bring it up
and it's not true,
I'll look like a fool.
Midal,
you've been down since yesterday.
Is the bad weather
making you achy all over?
I give the best massages in the world.
Leave me alone.
Hey, dude,
I have something to ask you.
I told you to keep your mouth shut.
How can I?
He's playing you for a fool.
Be quiet, will you?
Zip it.
Here.
I was going to turn a blind eye
for my sister's sake, but
there's something fishy about you.
Look.
I don't know what that is,
but I'm sure it's a misunderstanding,
so please cut me some slack.
What...
What is this?
Uncle Baedal, it's just a stupid necklace.
I'm sure this will look great on you.
I don't want anything from you.
Your dream is to become a hairdresser, right?
Go for it with all you've got.
You have my unwavering support.
Geez.
Don't try to win me over like this.
How much is that?
It's not much,
but treat your family to dinner
and take your daughter to a theme park.
But still...
Please.
I'm not in the mood.
That's why I want to make you feel better.
Lie down, will you?
I don't want to.
Come on now.
Please do as I say just this once.
I know you'll feel better if you listen to me.
Good grief.
Take this off.
I don't know what's bothering you,
but please cheer up.
See? This is all negative tension.
Do you think this will win me over?
I know.
You're not one to fall for something
as trite as a massage.
Oh, my goodness.
What is this?
Midal, not even jewelry can outshine you.
Not only are your milky shoulders gorgeous,
but so are your long, slender arms.
You're making fun of me.
What about this one?
Is this better than the necklace?
But...
What are you doing?
Midal, come closer.
A bit closer.
You're tickling me.
I, Kang Taejun, will always be by your side
to love and serenade you.
What do you take me for?
Do you think you can bribe me with jewelry?
No, of course not.
All I want is for you to sparkle
whenever and wherever you are.
Let me ask you one thing.
Taejun, are you seeing someone...
Midal.
I will never make you cry.
Please let me love you.
Hey.
What's all this?
I thought you'd be hungry,
so I made you dinner.
It's late. You should go.
I'm eating with you and staying the night.
Maru,
this will disappoint our parents
and compromise our own conscience.
I know you're worried about me,
but I can take care of myself.
You know I'm a very tough cookie.
How can I leave you
all alone here?
You can eat and then go.
Your stew is amazing.
What's this?
What are you doing here?
Good morning.
You spent the night in here?
What if you catch a cold
in this frigid weather...
Maru...
It was like camping. It was fun.
And I got to see you first thing in the morning.
I can't keep an eye on her all day,
but she refuses to go back home.
Right.
I'm sure she braced herself for hardship when
she decided to leave her home.
She won't go back that easily.
I'm glad to see you.
Have you heard from Bom?
Oh, um...
I had a bad dream.
I'm worried something's happened to her in France.
I'm worried sick about her.
Why won't she call me?
We're losing delivery customers because
you humiliated the realtor
at the police station.
But his wife took the money.
He falsely accused me.
And you give free food
to people you pity
when I'm not here.
It wasn't free.
I always paid for their meals.
You always have the last word.
Geez.
That wasn't called for.
Mr. Kang.
Who are you?
Another one of your charity cases?
What is your average daily revenue?
What's it to you?
Let me rent your restaurant for the day.
I'll give you three times your daily sales.
But I want
all the soup you made for today.
What will you do with all that soup?
Hurry.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Let me know if you'd like more.
Okay.
Kids,
tell your friends with working parents
who are alone at home like you
to come and eat here today.
- Okay? / - Yes, sir.
Please let other live-alone
senior citizens know that
we're offering free soup today.
Of course.
Enjoy.
Thank you, Mr. Kang.
For what?
Thanks to you, I feel deep intrinsic satisfaction!
This feels so wonderful.
Eat away, kids.
But I told Maru not to tell anyone I was here.
Don't worry.
I haven't told your mother.
I'm sorry to be worrying you.
Would you come with me?
This house...
It's being remodeled
for your mom and me.
I figured once we get married,
we'd need a bigger house
for us and our family.
You could live with us here if you
don't want to go back to Ms. Bae's.
Are you taken aback?
Yes. A bit.
It was very tough doing business overseas,
but it was also rewarding.
And I made a lot of money.
Then I returned to Korea for Maru,
and now, I've met a wonderful woman
whom I now plan to marry.
My ties with you run deep.
What?
Are you worried that my marriage
will make it uncomfortable for you and Maru?
Truthfully, yes.
I'll never oppose your relationship with Maru.
I'm sure some may wag their tongues,
but there's no reason my marriage to Midal
has to come between you and Maru.
Mom, please go back to your old room.
As long as I'm alive,
I won't let you be disrespected.
Jeonggi. Jeonggi.
Did you see this?
I knew Gukhui was very successful
but not to this extent!
Look.
This lists Gukhui's Punggildang shares
and all the assets in her name.
Oh, wow.
She has all this money, and yet
she won't open a studio for you?
I know. She is so cruel.
You should just divorce her.
I told you.
Divorce her and ask for half of her assets.
Hon, you shouldn't encourage him.
Jeongmi's right.
Ask for half of what she has and
divorce her.
Remarrying could be better than
staying with your cold-hearted wife.
Geez, mom.
What's with all of you?
That fool.
How long do you plan on being her servant?
Divorce her, get your share,
and invest that in Baedal and me.
Enough, Jeongmi.
Baedal and I will run a restaurant,
and you can live off the interest and
dividends while you do your art.
Your marriage is a sham anyway.
Do you really think she'd give me
half of Punggildang if I divorce her?
If you want a divorce,
I'll sign the papers.
That's not what this is about.
You said you wanted a divorce.
Come to my office.
I'll sign the papers.
Stepmom.
Jia.
My dad got down on his knees
and begged you for a divorce
when my mom was alive.
Why didn't you divorce him then?
It was to spite my mom, wasn't it?
No, it wasn't.
Don't divorce her, dad.
Stay with her and drive her mad.
I'll have the papers ready, so come
to my office tomorrow.
Jeonggi, why aren't you eating?
You don't have an appetite?
You won't sign the divorce papers, right?
Go ahead and divorce her.
Be quiet, will you?
How can you be so pathetic?
You're almost 60.
What's the point in getting a divorce?
What I said yesterday
was merely out of rage.
Divorce might be better
than living like this.
What are you saying?
You won't do anything crazy, right?
Here are the divorce papers.
My lawyer put that together
because you asked for a division of assets.
Why would you and Jeonggi get divorced?
Why are you upset over something
I blurted out in anger?
Wait, Gukhui.
Why is Jeonggi getting nothing
even if you two get divorced?
Huh? What do you mean?
I already signed the papers.
Please tell Jeonggi
to fill out the rest of the form.
You're really scary.
You were waiting for him to ask for a divorce.
Right?
Why would you two get divorced?
Mom, did you ask dad for a divorce?
That's right.
As soon as you get married,
this is what she does.
What are we to do?
She should do it if that she wants.
- Huh? Aran. / - Aran.
Dad did cheat on her and
had a child out of wedlock.
Dad has no choice but to say yes
if mom demands a divorce.
But Aran,
how can you say that?
You only care for your mom?
You don't care about your dad?
Mom endured many years of pain alone.
You should be grateful she took you in.
Yet you two show up here
and harass her?
Now that I'm married,
I realize how bad mom's had it.
She raised me and built this company up
without dad's help.
I understand now how hard
that must have been for her.
So the mother and daughter are in cahoots.
Divorce?
Who says you can get a divorce?
No way!
You shouldn't side only with your mom like this.
Mom, don't suffer alone.
Tell me if you're upset or
having a hard time, okay?
You're all grown up now, Aran.
Wash the china and pots and pans,
dry them with a dry dish rag, and
put them all away in the cabinets.
All these?
Good grief.
This isn't all that much.
If you sleep less and
move fast, you'll be done
in no time.
Is there anything else?
Huh? Really?
Let's see.
These.
These are for Taeho's grandparents' ancestral rite.
Scrub them clean with the green sponge
and dry and polish them
with a washcloth.
Son,
why are you working so hard at home?
It's busy at the office these days.
You and your father work
day and night for Punggildang,
and I'm pampering and doting on
Aran, the Punggildang heiress.
Ms. Bae is a lucky woman.
What's Aran doing?
Oh...
She asked me to teach her something,
so I gave her a little assignment.
Taeho,
now that you're married,
when will your mother-in-law give you
a top position at Punggildang?
What was that?
Aran.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm sorry, mother.
Aran, are you okay?
How could you break these?
This is a vintage collection.
You can't get it anymore.
I'll replace it somehow.
Geez, mom.
It's okay. So long as you're not hurt.
I'm sorry to have startled you.
I want to do well, but housekeeping
is uncharted territory for me.
No matter how hard I try,
I keep disappointing mother.
I'm sorry, mother.
Don't be.
Even if Aran begs, don't teach her
any housekeeping for now.
She's busy at work.
She can learn in due time.
Let's go.
Mind your feet. Come on.
Be careful.
I don't believe this.
She causes this mess
and then they have the last word.
I'm dumbfounded.
This is maddening.
My vintage collection.
You'll upset mother
if you speak to her like that.
Don't try to be perfect all the time.
That's your problem.
But still...
I put you through so much.
It's my turn to take care of you.
Just leave it all up to me.
Let me do all your worrying,
so that you can finally
get some peace of mind.
This lists the ingredients in
all the wines we produce.
It also includes the findings from
the Ministry of Food and Drugs Safety
that our products are additive-free.
Send this to all the news outlets.
Revealing all our ingredients is
like giving away our wine recipes.
Must we take such a huge risk?
Don't we just have to find
the person who put
the artificial sweetener in the baeksuhwandongju?
Things have gotten out of hand.
Don't you know a major scandal
requires a befitting countermeasure?
But to hide the truth and...
Hide the truth?
Master Kim was behind it, and
we're trying to clean up the mess.
That's right, Maru.
Our main objective is to resolve the issue.
We'll send these out to the press then.
It's all thanks to Ms. Choi's press release.
She took a risk and turned a crisis
into an opportunity.
I was worried about Aran's heartless
and unrelenting personality,
but her drive and risk-taking approach
served her well in a crisis.
The board is of the consensus that Ms. Choi
will make a great leader.
I think it's thanks to Taeho's support.
I apologize again for my pettiness
prior to their wedding.
Please don't say that.
What is it, Taeho?
'Congratulations, congratulations'
'Congratulations on your promotion'
Hurrah. Hurrah.
Congratulations on the reinstatement.
Congratulations, Aran.
Blow out the candles.
The official announcement hasn't been made yet.
That's just a matter of time.
Who cares?
Thank you.
It's thanks to all of you.
Congrats, Director Choi.
Look at the lovebirds.
I'm so jealous.
I don't know if I should be doing this.
It's been taken care of.
No matter what you did,
all you have to do is just deny it.
Taeho.
Don't worry.
You have me.
Announce Aran's promotion.
Ms. Choi, I mean, Director Choi will be pleased.
Hello?
You're coming here?
Okay.
We'll talk in person then.
Choi Aran.
Yes?
Master Kim...
Why are you so startled?
It's as though you've seen a ghost.
This is can't be.
How did you...
How could you be so despicable!
Did you think it'd be over
if you left me for dead and
framed me for tainting the wine?
It's not like that.
Please forgive me.
What is it, Ms. Bae?
I had no intentions of hurting you.
Please forgive me.
I'll issue a statement regarding your innocence.
I'll clear your good name
and restore your reputation.
You wished me dead.
You didn't help me when
I was in danger!
That's a misunderstanding.
It was wrong of me to taint the wine.
And it was also wrong of me
to try and pay you off to keep quiet.
But I was worried sick, thinking something
had happened to you.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Choi Aran!
Mom.
It's all my fault.
I failed, as her mother.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
What do I do now, mom?
Ms. Bae.
It's okay.
Are you still in touch with Bom?
She still doesn't want to see me, right?
It's not like that.
She just needs time to think.
Think about what?
I finally found her,
but she won't warm up to me.
I'm hurting and lonely.
Why is she off on her own without
any consideration for my feelings?
Bom doesn't hate you, Ms. Bae.
Of course Bom misses her mother.
If she were by my side.
If I, at least, had her by my side...
Why are you stealing
my precious food?
Are you trying to impress a young woman?
It's not like that.
You can't take these.
My goodness.
What is this?
There's even a love note.
I hope you're not skipping your meals.
Enjoy your mom's cooking and chin up.
What? Mom's cooking?
Why should I play mom to a young lady
I don't even know?
These are for Bom.
Don't lie to me.
She's in France.
Bom is in Korea.
She moved out and
is on her own in a rooftop apartment.
What are you saying?
My Bom is where?
Bom!
Ms. Bae.
Let's go home.
We'll talk there and
work through our misunderstandings.
Please, Bom.
Bom! Bom!
Oh, my goodness.
Look at you!
CEO lady, I thought you had
sent her on a luxury overseas trip.
I didn't give her up
for her to live like this.
Bom, let's go home.
You can't even
take good care of her.
Bom, come home with me, okay?
She's not worthy of being your mom.
She abandoned you because
she didn't want to raise you.
Watch what you say!
Good heavens.
Mom!
How dare she?
Why did you push my mom?
Bom...
Ms. Choi Aran of Development Support will now
be officially appointed as division director.
Aran,
why are you doing this to me?
What if Bom regains
her memory about her childhood?
What if she remembers that your father
abandoned her 20 years ago?
What is she saying?
Why would my husband abandon Bom?
Seonyeong.
Gilsu.
Don't talk back
to your elder.
You're stirring trouble
because you refuse to listen.
It's all a lie.
It's utter nonsense.
He abandoned me?
