(Inhae Winery Closure Notice)
(Episode 94)
No.
This can't be.
I looked into everything!
This can't be.
Listen, President...
The number you have dialed is out of service.
Please hang up and try again.
Then...
Our investment...
What about our investment?
What happened, Aran?
What did you do?
I wanted to do well.
I wanted to
show mom a solid performance,
so she could see that she needed me.
I was going to
ask her to forgive father for my sake.
So what did you do?
Aran...
I went ahead with
a joint investment venture behind mom's back.
I used mom's seal.
What am going to do?
Once she finds out I sent them the funds...
Ms. Choi.
Maru.
Mr. Kang.
Ms. Bae!
Is something wrong?
Did you decide to work with Inhae Winery?
Your seal is affixed on the agreement.
It's marked as having been approved.
You heard.
I said I didn't work to work with them.
Where's Aran?
Where's your sister?
Choi Aran.
Mom.
Did you do this?
Did you conclude a deal with Inhae?
You were against it.
How could I have done it?
Then what is this?
What is this contract I never even saw?
Um...
Be honest.
If you made a mistake, we must
take care of it quickly.
Why did you bite off
more than you could chew? Why?
Ms. Bae.
Here you are.
How could you conclude a joint investment
deal with Inhae without consulting the board?
That company just went bankrupt.
Ms. Bae didn't authorize it. I was...
Ms. Choi.
Stay out of this.
Let's go to my office.
We can talk there.
Why aren't you ready yet?
What's the rush, mom?
Strike while the iron is hot.
Gukhui's warmed up to you
thanks to this photo here.
We must get you your studio now.
Gukhui never agreed to it.
She's the type that needs prodding
to unload some of her money.
You've fawned on her enough
for a handsome payout.
But still...
I feel bad.
Give me a break.
She won't take all her money to her grave.
Too much humility
is for losers.
Hurry up.
What do you think?
It's perfect, right?
I was thinking of renting a small warehouse
to work on...
A warehouse?
You're a talented artist.
You need a befitting workspace.
Gukhui will also save face as CEO
by providing well for you.
You're lucky that
you have a rich wife to mooch off of.
I couldn't stop Chisaem's dad
from taking her as I have
no money or skills.
That's enough.
She wasn't taken by a stranger.
Her father took her to raise her.
How can you be so callous?
If I had a cafe in a building like this,
I wouldn't have had to let Chisaem go.
That's true.
It'd be perfect if Jeonggi could run his studio
on the 1st floor, and you, a cafe on the 2nd.
That way,
I can get Chisaem back.
Then why don't we get Gukhui
to buy us the whole building?
Wow. This is nice.
I look like a different person.
But are you sure this is
age-appropriate for me?
Of course.
It's very fetching.
What got into Gukhui that she gave you
her credit card to
take me shopping?
You don't say.
A sudden change is not always good.
Watch it.
She feels bad about her lack of involvement
in Aran's wedding and about
the recent falling out with you.
Really?
But then again, why shouldn't
I get an outfit from my daughter-in-law?
I look good in red though.
I can sneak something in too, right?
This shopping spree
really drives it home that
my daughter-in-law is CEO of Punggildang.
I wish every day was like today.
So there's nothing we can do?
I'll call you again.
So our investment is gone?
We might even end up with Inhae's debt.
What are you going to do?
Could you two check on our sales points?
Yes, of course.
Am I going to be in serious trouble?
What if mom gets to the bottom of this?
The board has convened.
Mom's in hot water.
Go and tell them the truth.
Tell them it was you.
What did I do?
You stole mom's seal and concluded
the deal with Inhae
without mom's authorization.
Do you know how serious your accusation is?
That could land me in jail.
I'll tell them if you won't.
Hey, Bom.
I'll talk to her.
Bom.
We can't just cover this up.
Bom,
give you sister a little time.
I beg you.
There might be legal ramifications for Aran.
Then what about Ms. Bae?
Is it okay if she takes the blame
for what Aran did?
That's not what I mean.
Let's find a way out.
I won't let this slide.
But Bom...
I'll be held accountable
for any fallout from this.
Ms. Bae, why did you take such a risk?
The financial loss we'll suffer from
Inhae's bankruptcy
will be your responsibility.
You should step down if you can't do your job.
I have something to tell you.
Bom.
It wasn't Ms. Bae who authorized
the joint investment deal with Inhae.
You stay out of this.
Then was it you?
Mind what you say.
Didn't I say I'd be held accountable?
Please leave.
How can she be so brazen after
putting the company in shambles?
Let's go.
It was Aran.
She used your seal behind your back.
So don't say a word.
Do you know how serious this is?
Aran's apology won't be enough.
She could end up in jail.
Then what about you?
What will you do, mom?
(Things I Wish to Do When I'm Rich)
How could Mr. Kang be so rich?
I should have been nicer to him.
There's so much I wanted to do if I had money,
but I can't remember any of it.
You wanted to visit your hometown
when the cherry blossoms
are in bloom.
Oh, right. There was that.
What are my queen and Gaeul doing?
I was just heading out to the pub.
Enjoy some alone time.
What's that?
It's nothing.
Why are you hiding it from me?
Let me see.
But...
They're all silly.
I used to really want to do these things.
Let's do one now.
Piece of cake.
I'm worried that Bom will be
embarrassed if I show up like this.
Why would she be?
You look so elegant and graceful.
It's probably my inferiority complex,
but I was so upset when
Ms. Bae came dressed to the nines
and took my daughter away.
It felt like I was robbed of
the daughter I raised for 20 years
because I was poor and incompetent.
Sending Bom away must have really hurt you.
But you're now dressed even better
than Ms. Bae, so flaunt away
in front of Bom's colleagues
as per your wish.
Okay.
This will make up for the humiliation suffered
when I showed up looking like a mess,
and I'll finally hold my own against Ms. Bae.
- Yes, you will. / - Let's go.
Can't we get damage relief
if we say we were
deceived by Inhae Winery?
We still won't get the investment back.
My buddy in Financial Affairs
said even if Inhae didn't go bankrupt,
Ms. Bae made a very risky investment
given our financial situation.
Should we be looking for new jobs?
Regular employees like us might not
even get back pay if the company goes down.
That wasn't called for, Mr. Yang.
But our livelihoods are at stake.
Bom.
Hey, Maru.
- Dad. / - Mom.
We were
in your neck of the woods.
Hey, remember me?
Bom's adoptive mom.
We got the premium lunchbox set,
so enjoy.
Thank you.
You're barely recognizable.
Give me a break.
I changed my lipstick, that's all.
From now on, come to me
if you need any help.
The CEO lady isn't your only mom.
You have me too.
(2015 Financial Statement)
I'd love to have coffee with you,
but something came up here.
Things look busy here,
so let's get going.
Keep up the good work, everyone.
- Okay. / - Take it easy.
Bye-bye.
- Take it easy. / - Bye, dad.
Thank you for lunch.
Things look really bad here.
What if Punggildang really goes bankrupt?
What if Bom never
gets to enjoy having a rich mom
and ends up in poverty again?
Ms. Bae. Ms. Bae.
Hello.
How rude.
You barely even looked up.
I'm very busy.
Ms. Bae. A word?
Yes.
The bank's been calling Financial Affairs.
Our reserves are almost dried up.
What are you going to do?
Shouldn't you use
your personal funds
to make up for the loss?
I'll look into that again.
Excuse me.
She must be in a lot of trouble.
Where's Chisaem?
You took her without telling me.
The least you can do is let me see her.
You're remarried and pregnant,
so just forget Chisaem.
I mean no disrespect,
but let me say this.
My wife is Chisaem's mother.
You can't just take the child from her.
This doesn't concern you, so stay out.
I hear you're living at your sister-in-law's.
How can you raise a child
when you're homeless?
That's not fair, mother!
Yes, we're poor, but
Chisaem's always felt loved.
She was
always smiling when she was with us.
Do you know how much it costs to raise a child?
Do you have money?
Money doesn't raise a child.
My sister-in-law, Punggildang's CEO,
is getting my own cafe.
Once the deal is sealed,
I'm going to get Chisaem.
Really, honey?
That's right.
The CEO of Punggildang won't
turn her back on her sister-in-law's child.
Good grief.
So your plan is to mooch off your sister-in-law?
Hey.
Chi... Yes.
Okay. I'll be right there.
Chisaem!
You didn't have to bring me here.
But I promised you that
we'd go to an amusement park.
You've had a lot of time
but no money.
I got a job.
No more money woes.
Really?
Then let's have fun today.
Let's go.
An Suho is a monkey.
Let's work hard
as they'll bump our hourly rate
by $1 if we do well.
Isn't this fun that
we got a part-time job together?
All set.
I'm sorry, Jia,
for making you work
when you're with child.
Don't say that.
We vowed to be
good parents for Oinky, didn't we?
We're young and healthy.
We shall persevere.
I'll be very good to you.
How did I get myself such a pretty wife?
Stop it.
Do you know why I love you?
There's nothing
exceptional about you,
but you're responsible.
You won't be like my dad.
Do you know why I love you?
You make me feel mature.
My family treats me like a moron,
but I feel like a real man around you.
Wow, dolls!
They're people in furry costumes.
Of course I know that.
I was just being silly.
How about a picture?
Could you get in the picture too?
This is my last day with Mr. Lee.
What?
Your last day with Mr. Lee?
Huh? It's Jia's voice.
Mr. Lee, this is Jia.
Huh? I think you're right.
No.
Then you are...
Isn't that you, Suho?
Hey, Suho.
Hey. Hey.
Why are you guys running away?
Hey!
That was a close call.
But why did we run away?
We did nothing wrong.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
You're suffering this humiliation
because you had to marry me.
Chisaem.
What else should we try?
Merry-go-round? Bumper car?
It's okay.
They cost a lot.
Stop worrying about money.
I have enough to take you on rides.
You should save up for my baby brother.
Chisaem, you sound way too mature.
You're making me feel bad.
Do you want to go on my shoulders?
It's okay.
Your back must hurt from
having to stand all day.
Stop it.
Let's do it.
Come here.
Chisaem!
Grandma.
Why'd you come here
without telling me?
Let's go.
Your dad's waiting.
Grandma, can't I live with mom and Mr. Lee?
No!
Come on.
Wait...
Chisaem.
Chisaem!
Chisaem.
Stop it.
Chisaem called to say she's back at her dad's.
What am I going to do, honey?
It's like a big hole drilled through my heart.
You're such a sap.
Just focus on taking good care
of Peanut.
Chisaem's in good hands with
her rich dad.
That's right.
You never spent time with her
when she was around.
I regret that and a lot more.
I lost her while doing our New Year's round.
When she first came,
I was jealous of her
for all the attention you paid her.
And when I got two pastries,
I only gave her half
so I could have one and a half to myself.
I keep remembering how bad I was to her.
That's enough, Baedal.
Do you really think we can get Chisaem back
if Gukhui sets us up with a cafe?
They took her, claiming we're
too poor to support her,
so if things look up for us,
they might return her.
Really?
Then should we plead with Gukhui
for Chisaem's sake?
What are you going to do?
Will you just sit back when
the board is holding you accountable?
I'm trying to find a way out of this.
There's only one way out.
Tell them Aran used your seal
and have her pay for this.
How many times do I have to tell you?
There will be legal ramifications for Aran.
What are you talking about?
It's nothing.
What did Aran do?
She used mom's seal to...
There was a mix-up at work.
Mother, did you get anything today?
Yes.
I got a lovely jacket.
But that's not important.
About Jeonggi's studio...
We went to see a building.
A cafe would be perfect there too.
People spend more on coffee than food now.
Do you know how stressed mom is?
You're so inconsiderate
and unfair to her.
Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
I should get some rest.
Are you sure it's nothing?
Did Aran do something?
Financial Affairs got this
late payment notice this morning.
Because of what you did,
our credit rating has hit rock bottom.
This isn't your concern.
Just focus on winemaking.
That's your only
responsibility here.
What will you do
about the mess you created?
There are rumors that the board
might oust mom.
That's enough.
I have enough to think about.
I'll protect mom no matter what,
so mind your own business.
They want our loan paid off right away.
Mr. An went to the bank to plead our case.
Why is everyone making such a fuss?
Punggildang won't fall because of this.
I was just trying to...
Please gather all my personal assets
that can be liquidated.
My shares...
Let me think a bit more about that.
Why don't you sell my shares?
I'll handle this.
This is my responsibility.
No, it's not.
This is Aran's fault.
She did this behind your back.
Why should you keep covering for her?
Until the day I die,
whatever you two do
is my responsibility.
Bom.
Mom won't give Aran up.
She won't say Aran did it.
What if something happens to mom...
There's a huge problem.
Ms. Bae's dismissal
was approved by the board.
That can't be.
Thank you, everyone.
Wait.
I must tell you something.
Who do you think you are
barging in here?
I'm sorry, but please let her speak.
I implore the board to revoke
President Bae Gukhui's dismissal.
I know you care about your mother.
But you know that
you can't throw a tantrum here to
get what you want.
It wasn't Ms. Bae who
concluded the deal with Inhae Winery.
That's enough.
Ms. Bae can defend herself
at the general shareholders' meeting.
Please sign this.
We need your support to keep
Ms. Bae at Punggildang.
Please help us revoke Ms. Bae's
dismissal.
Please sign this petition.
Thank you.
I'll let Ms. Bae know about your support.
Please sign this petition.
It's a petition to revoke mom's dismissal.
We can sign the petition here, right?
Don't you know that your open support for mom
may rub the staff the wrong way?
Why are you being so stupid?
You have no right to say that.
You got mom in this mess.
Please sign this petition.
Please.
Ms. Bae's dismissal...
Those are Punggildang's accomplishments.
We will soon be launching
a seasonally-themed
series of restored wines.
So why have you come to me?
We're having a bit of trouble with our cash flow,
and we heard you were looking
for a good investment.
I have ears too.
Why would I invest
in a failing company?
Failing company?
That's groundless speculation.
Why don't you tell your board
to sell me the company?
I'll offer a good price before it's worth nothing.
You're out of line.
Punggildang won't fall that easily.
You'll regret having missed out
on a great investment opportunity.
It's absurd we can't get any more bank loans.
This is my fault.
My mom worked so hard for Punggildang.
What if mom's dismissal is
approved at the general...
Taeho, should I just come clean and tell them
I stole mom's seal to conclude the deal?
Then what about you?
And what about me?
What?
Do you know what people are saying?
That Punggildang can't advance
because of outdated traditions.
I did what I did to change
that around.
So you stole my seal to
make a risky investment?
So you put the company in this mess?
I think this is an important test
to produce the change we need.
Just tough out the general shareholders'
meeting, and I'll change the company.
I'll make Punggildang a better company.
After what you did to the company?
You'll make it better?
It's for the company you dedicated your life...
That's enough.
Once this has settled,
you'll be fired.
What a long day you had.
Aran.
Can I talk you?
What is it, mother?
I don't know what it is,
but tomorrow might...
I have to talk to her in private.
It's girl talk,
so you go to bed.
Let's go.
What have you done since you got here
except stir trouble?
If you're going there again, I've heard enough.
Wow. So you just won't listen?
Fine. Then let me be brutally honest with you.
I'm scared that you'll get pregnant when
your future with Taeho is uncertain.
Mother.
That being the case,
I'd like you to sleep here with me.
This is for your own good.
Having a child will make
for a messy divorce.
Aran, let's go.
- Hey. / - Taeho.
Hey, Taeho.
You have to be levelheaded about this.
(General Shareholders' Meeting)
(Re: President Bae Gukhui's dismissal)
Please join us.
Please sign here.
Right there.
Mr. Park, come sign this.
Revoke Ms. Bae's dismissal.
Please join us.
Please sign this petition.
Please join us.
Please sign this petition.
Hello?
Where have you been, father?
I had a lot of thinking to do.
Taeho's kept me up to date.
You must be under a lot of stress.
I did it for the company.
I had no idea Inhae would betray me.
I know.
You would have had my support
had I been around.
So Ms. Bae's dismissal will be put
to vote today?
Yes.
Aran.
Listen carefully to what I have to say.
The general shareholders' meeting, Ms. Bae.
Okay.
This happened because I failed as a mother.
I'm solely to blame.
(2nd Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting)
(President Bae Gukhui's dismissal)
The general shareholder's meeting on
President Bae's dismissal is called to order.
The dismissal...
I'm sorry I'm late.
This shows that I have the power of attorney
for absent shareholders.
They need to know that
all 800 employees support mom.
I'm sorry.
President Bae Gukhui's dismissal
will now be put to vote.
All those in favor, raise your hand.
The dismissal has thus been voted down...
Wait.
I'm in favor of Ms. Bae's dismissal.
