(Episode 97)
How is everyone?
How dare you?
How can you do this?
- You beastly degenerate! / You!
How dare you show up here?
What's with you folks?
- Mom. / - Oh, my goodness.
Hey, An Gilsu.
Enough is enough!
Are you all packed up for the move?
Get out.
I can't bear to look at you anymore.
Get out right now!
Before I do,
I need your research notebooks.
What are you talking about?
You used the company's
money and facilities to
conduct your research.
Your findings are
company property.
These are findings from
30 years of painstaking work.
Please hand them over
and get over your loss.
You're pushing it.
Listen.
You've taken enough from Gukhui.
For whatever it's worth,
you're Aran's father-in-law!
You don't have to be like this!
You're worse than a lowly beast!
Please get out.
You've already done enough damage.
Hand them over.
I'm sorry if I upset you.
If you find this unacceptable,
take legal measures
to get them back.
Mark my words.
I won't forget this.
Well, then.
Hey.
Right here.
I...
Figured we didn't have much,
so I borrowed my friend's pickup.
Good job.
I didn't know renting
a pickup cost so much.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
That's what family is all about.
We'll head out first.
See you.
Will I get to live in a house like this again?
Of course, mom.
We'll get this house back.
Let's go.
It's a quick cab ride.
We get evicted from that mansion
and end up in this dump?
I'm sorry.
We'll stay here for now, but once
Gukhui's back on her feet...
That's enough.
It's no consolation.
Okay.
I have to go see the realtor.
We can move in
as soon as
I settle the remaining balance.
How did this happen to my daughter-in-law, who
once ruled over a business empire?
Baedal and Jeongmi left before us.
What's keeping them?
You got a great deal.
I see.
If you want a side job,
come by here.
You're so pretty that
I'd love to help you out.
- Gukhui. / - Gukhui.
Do you have our things?
Have you signed?
I just have to settle the balance.
Thank you.
We're saving on moving expenses.
I'm sorry, Gukhui,
but we need this money.
What happened?
We got into a fender bender
on our way over.
The driver limped out
of his fancy imported car.
If we don't settle right away,
Baedal will be in a lot of trouble.
We need it for just one week.
If we don't settle the balance,
we can't move in.
I'll find us a place until
I can pay you back.
We can't have Baedal go to jail.
I'm sorry, Gukhui.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Bae Gukhui...
She worked tirelessly.
Hello?
Bom?
Yes. She's smart and hardworking.
I understand our shareholders' concern.
Of course.
We must nurture talent irrespective of
her relation to President Bae.
Oh.
Here you are, Bom.
Ms. Choi must have been confused.
I'd like you back in the Product Development Lab.
Here you go.
Pardon?
Okay. I'll work very hard.
I have no authority around here.
The board even tells me
where Bom should be working.
Darn it.
Father!
What did you do?
Bom shouldn't...
Work is work.
The researchers respect her winemaking skills,
and like your mother,
she's a natural-born
connoisseur and winemaker.
What does that matter?
She tried to
expose me to the board.
Who's to say she won't expose you?
It's what our shareholders wanted.
There's sympathy for Bom
after what happened to Ms. Bae.
Even a tiger cub must be kept around
to serve our purpose if need be.
But what if she attacks you?
I'll just have to keep my guard up.
You took advantage of
the shareholders' sympathy for mom
so you can make your stupid wines?
You should be analyzing
traditional wine consumption trends.
Don't talk about mom.
I don't want her name sullied by you.
You make it sound like
I drove her out on purpose.
Isn't that what you did?
Ms. Oh.
The department store promo event...
Isn't this azalea?
You can really smell it.
You did it.
Did you manage
to preserve the aroma
by freeze-drying it?
Yes. The first attempt is a success.
Really?
Congratulations! Congrats, Bom.
Bom found an innovative way to preserve
azalea to make dugyeonju.
That's right.
She found a way around the biggest hurdle
to the commercialization of dugyeonju.
How did she find the time to do that?
She just won't let up.
It's not like I can chuck all that out.
Even a tiger cub must be kept around
to serve our purpose if need be.
Father is remarkable.
Bom, congratulations.
I'm so proud of you.
I swell up with pride knowing that you pulled off
such a major research feat.
You really take after mom in terms of
your winemaking skills and passion.
I watched mom for 20 years,
but I couldn't do it.
Do you know that we had to
move out of our house today?
Oh, really?
I suppose I'm paying the price too.
My mother-in-law kicked me out.
Why?
Why were you kicked out
after covering up
your father-in-law's sinister past
and ousting mom?
I must be getting punished.
I deserve it though.
Why did you bring me here?
I was so desperate
to hold onto Taeho that
I did a terrible thing to you and mom,
but I regret what I did.
Give me chance to
apologize to mom.
I beg you.
There's only one way you can apologize.
Come clean about everything
you did to mom.
And help us clear her name.
Fine. I'll do that.
I'll do all that.
It was me who concluded the deal with
Inhae Winery, which got mom ousted.
I stole mom's seal.
But...
Please let the board know.
Why did you do such a thing?
But what good will it do to
tell the board now?
I should be held
accountable for what I did.
That's what I promised Bom.
She framed mom and
got her dismissed.
I don't know what good it will do
for us to tell you this,
but I'll be watching,
making sure you two right this wrong.
I promised you.
I'll make it happen.
I'll testify in court
if I have to.
You can go now.
I'll think about it.
I can't stop you from taking responsibility,
but doesn't the company come first?
What good is responsibility
if the company goes under?
I beg you.
What is she thinking?
Let's think of how we can
clear mom's name.
The Inhae deal has
financial ramifications,
so we need to be patient.
But for now, why don't we patent
the azalea processing method
for dugyeonju in mom's name?
Patent the method?
Let's have mom
take credit for your research
and restore mom's reputation.
I'll take care of the paperwork
for the patent.
You just focus on your research.
I'm not sure that's the best way to help mom.
I'm sorry.
I feel bad asking you to put
your research in mom's name.
Why not if that's how mom will regain
our shareholders' confidence?
After dragging us around all day,
this is where you brought us?
What can we do?
We borrowed the truck without insurance,
and the guy we hit was
threatening to put Baedal behind bars.
I'm sorry.
I was careless and
made our situation worse.
Since things have come to this,
why don't we just move into
Maru's apartment?
How can we impose on him?
And we can't stay here either.
Let's stay at a motel for now.
What about Bom?
It would look bad for
a young woman to frequent a motel.
I caused the accident.
I'll take care of our room and board.
This way, I can repay Gukhui for
all that she's done for me.
Please trust me and give me a chance.
Midal.
Baedal.
It's okay.
Just carry on as you listen to me.
What is it, Baedal?
Taejun and Midal,
can you put us up
for two days, I mean, a week?
Like you ever asked me for my permission.
Good grief.
Right.
So I'll take that as a yes.
Didn't you say you wanted
to stay with us?
Hang on.
Midal,
my mother-in-law is here.
Oh, my goodness.
What brings you...
Jeonggi.
The entire family is here.
Midal, shouldn't we serve them dinner?
We're sorry to impose.
Why didn't you call first to...
The thing is, Midal...
It just happened.
The more you ask,
the more upsetting it will be.
It is what it is, so just
help us out for a few days.
Very well then.
Taejun.
Goodness me.
I'm famished
as I haven't had
a proper meal all day.
Come in, Gukhui.
Good heavens.
Were you evicted from your house and
had nowhere else to go?
The president of Punggildang
has become homeless practically overnight.
Midal, please.
I leave my family in your care for a few days.
Excuse me.
Wait.
She's still too proud
even though she's lost everything.
Bom.
Uncle Baedal told me
about the accident.
I'm glad you're here.
Let's stay here for now.
The family will be here for a few days.
As for me, I'll stay here elsewhere.
Where will you go?
Let's go in.
You don't look well.
I can't impose.
Don't be like that and come on in.
No. I can't burden you like this.
How will Bom sleep if
we shoo you away?
Stop worrying Bom and
come in.
It's so good.
You have to eat when you can
when you're couch hopping.
Stop worrying about
manners and have some.
Yes, Jeonggi.
Jeonggi, here.
I'm fine. You guys enjoy.
Come on.
I'm all set.
Good grief.
Ms. Kim,
what are you doing here?
When you get older,
you get sleepy early.
But I'll wake up at the crack of dawn
and make breakfast,
so good night.
Geez, Ms. Kim.
How can you just take over a newlywed couple's
futon without any qualms?
Is that what I've done?
I was wondering why the bedding smelled so nice.
Enjoy the smell then
and sleep tight.
No, this isn't right.
You can't sleep here.
Give me a break.
You'll shoo away an old lady?
Although I wasn't invited,
it's good manners to let the eldest
take the biggest bedroom.
Mom.
Mother,
they're newlyweds.
What's wrong with you?
This isn't the time.
If you cross Midal,
we'll get kicked out.
It's disgraceful they remarried so old.
Why is she making such a fuss about
being a newlywed?
Let's go then. Fine. Let's go.
Thank you. Thank you.
It's okay.
Ladies stay here.
Men, over there.
And the newlyweds get their own room.
Let's all tough this out.
Okay then.
When I think about it,
I was a guest here, there, and everywhere.
This is no worse.
Ma'ma, please scoot over.
That's right. This is Gaeul's room.
Let her be.
She's had a long day.
I apologize for the inconvenience, Gaeul.
Your grandma must have been tired.
She's snoring loudly.
I'm sorry you can't sleep.
Should we go to a 24-hour sauna?
Isn't it uncomfortable at work?
No, but I'm angry.
It enrages me to see someone else
in your place.
And it's tough to be around
the people who drove you out.
Honestly, it's tough to focus.
Put all that aside and
think about your dream.
Just focus on what you have to do
and tough it out.
And then what?
Will that get you reinstated?
I'm not sure.
But at the very least,
my daughter
is still at the company I built.
I lost everything,
but my daughter is there
carrying on my dream.
I wanted nothing but good things
and happiness for you,
but I'm making you suffer again.
I'm sorry that...
Mom.
Thank you for
letting me know I'm your daughter.
Jia,
is this for the best?
Now that Maru and Bom know,
we'll get caught here in no time.
Then we'll get separated again.
No, no.
Let's go. Hurry. Go!
Okay.
They did a good job cleaning up.
These troublemakers
are good workers.
What's this?
Ms. Lee, we're sorry.
We'll pay you back.
Pay me back?
Did they run off with my money?
Huh? Oh, no.
I'm sorry you can't rest
even on the weekend.
You and mom never take
time off,
so how can we?
Is that how this works?
My goodness. They packed up and left.
Hey, your sister and Suho took off with
everything in the cash register.
What will you do about it?
What are you talking about?
Jia, where are you?
I'm sorry, Maru.
I need Suho by my side.
Where are you?
Get back here.
Why are you causing so much trouble?
Hey, Jia.
Did she hang up?
What will we do with her?
I should have told their parents as soon as
I found out Jia was pregnant.
Let's give them some time.
I find it reassuring that
they are so committed
to their relationship.
Hello.
Welcome.
- How have you been? / - Great.
It's my first time here.
Why is Seonyeong from Laura Boutique
at our exclusive meeting?
That was before I got married.
I'm here as the wife of Punggildang's CEO
to take part in your many
charitable efforts.
This is a highly
exclusive meeting.
Her husband isn't even the owner.
This is no place for the wife of a puppet CEO.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Welcome, Ms. Bae.
You must be under a lot of stress.
I'm doing well thanks to all of you.
What qualification do you have
now that you've lost your job?
I love your jacket, Ms. Yun.
Pardon?
It takes me back.
When you worked at the boutique,
you used to model
for us.
Take that off.
I want to try it on.
But that's...
If you want to hang out with us,
you must get your footing in this club.
Otherwise, we wouldn't
feel comfortable having you around.
It's not to my liking.
I don't care for
gaudy, cheap styles.
I see.
I got a slight rip in it.
It was too small for me.
Oh, my goodness.
What is this?
Unbelievable.
Put this on.
How can Mr. Yun so shamelessly
show himself in front of Ms. Bae?
Your husband's a real ingrate.
My husband was
approved by the board and
appointed fair and square.
I'd like to say something.
I won't be attending for some time
due to personal reasons.
What's wrong?
So I'd like Ms. Yun Seonyeong
to take over my position
as the club's PR manager.
I've known Ms. Yun for a long time.
She's diligent and responsible,
so she'd be perfect
as my successor.
I have to get going.
- Ms. Bae. / - Ms. Bae.
Taeho has no idea
what his mother-in-law did to me and
lets Aran control him.
Son,
my chest feels so tight.
I feel like I'm suffocating.
Please come home.
Taeho. Oh, my goodness.
The ingredients for dugyeonju...
Was that mother?
What is it?
Don't worry about it.
Because I'm staying here,
she's throwing a tantrum
to get me back.
But the fact that she called
means she's reaching out to us.
Go.
Go and comfort mother.
I know my mom.
She'll get worse if I go.
She'll keep doing this whenever
she doesn't get her way.
I'll always be by your side,
so I have to get along with her somehow.
We must work out the kinks.
I don't believe this.
I knew he'd come.
Mother.
What?
Why are you here?
I wanted to see my son,
not you.
What did I tell you?
Didn't I say mom was fine?
My goodness, Taeho.
Why do you have
to suffer this humiliation?
Will you turn your back on me
to be with this she-devil?
Seonyeong,
why are you being so puerile?
Puerile?
Gilsu and you two,
do you know what happened to me today?
Do you know how
badly humiliated I was by Bae Gukhui?
Darn it.
I have nothing to report at
the general shareholders' meeting.
Don't be impatient and
start working on a new project.
Once Bom completes the azalea
processing method for dugyeonju,
you can take credit for it.
Even the staffers are saying
how innovative the method is.
But when will it be completed?
It's harder to stay a president
than become one.
Then how about this?
It's sparkling peach wine.
If you say it was developed under
your leadership...
Aran,
that's from a small winery
asking us for investment.
The CEO is coming today,
so I'll take care of it.
But I want you to promise that
the profits from this will be used
to finance the seasonal wine project.
Why don't you call her?
Ms. Choi has no appointments today.
She's taking our wine into a meeting
for an investment presentation.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Why would a winemaking company
invest in someone else's wine?
Is there a problem?
Bom, this man...
This is a sparkling wine our company made.
I spoke with Ms. Choi about an investment.
Oh, this wine.
I'll take you to her.
Come with me.
Bom.
Punggil...
Thank you for coming all this way.
This is to cover your transportation expenses.
But it turns out Punggildang
already developed a similar peach wine.
It's about to be launched,
so we can't invest in your company.
A similar wine?
Did you copy ours?
You were so insistent
that I even gave you a sample.
That would go against
industry ethics and protocol.
I'm offended.
The new Punggildang under my leadership
will stop restoring traditional wines to
make more accessible wines.
The wine before you
is the first of such wines.
Please taste it.
Stop restoring wines?
He thinks he can
change our product lineup?
Mr. An,
isn't it too early to
launch a new wine?
We should think about the product's value
relative to our corporate image...
This is the most promising wine in
terms of return on investment.
Given that this was developed by
my secret team, it will be
launched to commemorate my appointment.
This mild sparkling wine
targeting younger consumers
could become Korea's champagne.
What do you think?
That wine
was developed by another company.
What are you talking about?
What do you know about this wine?
My company spent five years
developing that wine!
I'm a certified winemaker.
I'm very experienced too.
Any position will do
so long as I can make traditional wines.
But...
I'm sorry.
We'll just stay a few more days.
That's fine.
But let's go.
You'll feel worse
holed up in here.
Come on.
I'm not trying to be mean.
Let me teach you how to make rice soup.
You'll have to do something
to feed your large family.
Otherwise, Bom will end up
as that family's sole breadwinner.
This will be good for me to learn.
Those aren't ready,
so set them aside.
Oh, my goodness.
It's okay. I'll do this.
This is the place. Here.
Listen, Seonyeong.
I'm Ms. Yun now,
the wife of Punggildang's CEO.
So is this where the wife of
Punggildang's CEO
want to treat us
to lunch?
Come on in.
You won't regret it.
This way.
Welcome.
Why are you...
Rice soup, please.
Please sit down.
What are you doing here?
Oh, my.
What happened to you?
Good heavens.
