You must think I'm foolish.
I also know...
how foolish and stupid I am.
Everything happened because of me.
If I didn't go to the summer house that day,
then...
I wouldn't have gotten involved in that mess.
Then...
Mom would never have left me.
Don't blame yourself for everything.
It's not your fault.
If I were you, I would've made the same choice.
It won't be easy to endure everything.
We got past the sauce incident and the anonymous letter,
but we still can't be at ease.
As long as you're here,
things like that will continue to happen to you.
You know what I mean, right?
I'm prepared to face everything.
I didn't come here without preparing myself for that much.
If I want to clear my name, I need to find evidence.
When I do, I'm going to ask for a reinvestigation...
and clear my name...
no matter what.
I'm not the culprit. I didn't do anything wrong.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were sleeping.
Jae Hee really liked that music box.
- You know that too, right? - Of course.
I got this for Jae Hee...
on her 10th birthday.
It was the first gift she ever got from you.
She was very happy to receive it.
It wasn't the music box that she liked.
I think she was more attached to that because she got it from you.
They say time heals everything,
but I don't think that's true.
She's not fading away even though time has passed.
She's becoming more and more clear in my head.
Mother.
Look at what I'm saying.
You must be tired. You should take a rest.
Mother.
If, by any chance...
Why? Is something the matter?
No, never mind. You should rest.
If I want to clear my name, I need to find evidence.
When I do, I'm going to ask for a reinvestigation...
and clear my name...
no matter what.
Yes, Dal Nim would never do such a thing.
Then who in the world...
What are you doing here?
What do you think? I was waiting for you.
Did you come all the way here just for me?
We're going to be late. Come on. Get in.
How's your ankle?
It's better now.
I slept well yesterday thanks to you.
I've confirmed...
my trust towards you.
You can't hide the sun with your hands,
and you can't block the rain with a piece of paper.
I'm going to do the best I can...
to reveal the truth.
Thank you.
It's not just because of you.
That's what I should do for Jae Hee and everyone else.
You said you're prepared, right?
Like you said, it's not going to be an easy path.
But let's stick together until the end.
You didn't have breakfast, did you?
You even prepared breakfast for me?
(Charcoal-broiled Fish Cake Bar)
I already had three pieces of rice balls. That's for you.
There's also a fish cake bar and yogurt.
I got you the best meal you can get from the convenience store.
Thank you for the meal.
Okay, please put on your seatbelt.
I'm going to go now.
Who do you think Se Na likes?
Do you have anyone in mind?
I went through her social media last night to find out.
But I couldn't find a single clue.
Normally, when you're dating someone, you leave traces online.
But the only guys around Se Na are Sun Ho and Jae Wook.
That's right. Jae Wook.
My gosh, why didn't I think of him?
Se Na's the one who hired Jae Wook as the head chef.
And it's weird that he returned from New York.
Are you saying he came back because of Se Na?
Think about it.
Why would he have accepted that offer...
when he's capable of working somewhere else?
Se Na's the one who offered it to him,
and Jae Wook's the one who accepted.
These two are so good at playing hard to get with each other.
- I'm going to go to work now. - Honey, wait.
I found out who Se Na likes.
It's someone she's really close to, isn't it?
And everyone here is acquainted with him, right?
I guess you found out. To be honest...
It's Jae Wook, right?
Jae Wook? You're incredible.
Whatever. I'm going to go to work now. I'll see you, Eun Jung.
Bye.
It really must be Jae Wook. He's pretending not to know...
because he wants to hide the truth. She must like Jae Wook.
I guess so. I guess she likes Jae Wook.
My sixth sense is incredible.
What? The case files?
I think Jung Hoon gave it to her.
You said she even visited Jung Hoon's office.
If Jung Hoon is the one who gave it to her,
you better make sure he doesn't tell her anything.
Okay. I'll take care of Jung Hoon.
You better continue to keep an eye on Dal Nim.
You should've told me that you gave her the case files.
Why didn't you tell me anything?
Dal Nim didn't want me to tell you.
Why did you give it to her in the first place?
What do you mean?
I simply gave it to her because she asked for it.
Hey, how can you just give it to her like that?
Why are you getting angry at me?
It's not that big of a deal.
What else did you not tell me?
Tell me everything.
What else are you hiding from me?
I'm not hiding anything.
I gave Dal Nim the money you told me to give her, and that's it.
What's wrong with you? Is something going on?
Jung Hoon, Dal Nim is threatening me these days.
She's threatening you?
She says she's going to tell Ruby about our past relationship.
No way.
Do you know where Dal Nim works?
She works at one of the restaurants made by Choigo Foods.
What?
Why would she work there when there are so many other places to work at?
What do you think she wants?
She just wants to use my weakness...
to get a huge lump of money. Don't you understand?
My gosh, they say it's hard to tell what a person's thinking.
I never thought she'd do such a thing.
If Dal Nim ever calls you again, you better tell me everything.
Don't even think about hiding it from me.
Okay.
Just know that this is happening all because of you.
Things became so complicated...
because you told her what you shouldn't have.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful from now on.
No, actually,
I won't ever answer her calls from now on.
I didn't know Dal Nim was such a scary woman.
Why did you want to see me?
Do you have time this weekend?
I don't have any plans. Why?
Then let's go here together.
A violin recital?
Taesung Group's daughter is going to be playing the violin.
Many influential people are going to be there.
It'd help you with your business if you went there and get acquainted.
My gosh, that would be great.
Okay, I'll go.
I heard Sun Ho and his mom also got invited.
Why did Sun Ho get invited?
Taesung Group's daughter used to like Sun Ho.
But he ended up marrying Jae Hee.
Really?
I never knew any of that.
But I heard she still likes him.
I think her parents kind of want him to become their son-in-law.
What? "Son-in-law"?
My gosh, no way. They can't have him! My Se...
I completely understand why you're being so angry.
Marriage is not a one way thing.
As you know,
Sun Ho still hasn't gotten over Jae Hee yet.
Let me ask you since we're on that subject.
What kind of woman do you want Sun Ho to get married to?
He can't live like that forever.
To be honest,
I'm grateful that he still cares for Jae Hee instead of forgetting her.
I think I'll feel sad...
if Sun Ho ends up marrying someone else.
Although Jae Hee's gone now,
I feel safe whenever I think that Sun Ho is still by my side.
If I think about Jae Hee,
I don't want him to marry anyone else.
I'm so selfish, aren't I?
What? No, I understand.
She's Taesung Group's daughter?
What if Se Na ends up having to give up on Sun Ho again?
The Americano and drip coffee both aren't satisfactory.
They both lack something.
It should have a cleaner taste.
Did you bring the right potatoes this time?
How can you bring low quality potatoes again?
How many times must I tell you that...
I can't use this to serve our customers?
I already took a look at the list of customers for the past five years.
These potatoes are worth more than what they cost.
What?
Can you take responsibility for what you just said?
Yes, I can.
Tell me if there are better quality potatoes in the same price range.
What if there are?
From what I see, this is just a dereliction of duty.
What? "Dereliction of duty"?
On what basis are you saying that?
It's obvious.
I'm pretty sure you just sat on your desk...
and took a look at a few documents.
Have you ever paid a visit to the farm?
You've never even gone to the market, have you?
You have no right to call these potatoes the best quality.
When will you ever get your job back as the director?
Maybe you can get it back by using connections.
I can't believe you just said that. Are you done talking?
No, I'm not done.
I'll become a full-time employee...
faster than you becoming a director again.
Stop trying to work comfortably. Do your market research.
Listen to me, Ms. Oh Dal Nim.
What if I bring better quality potatoes with the same price?
It won't be easy.
If I succeed in bringing them,
promise me that you'll deliver what I want from now on.
Why? Aren't you confident?
What are you talking about?
Fine, go ahead and bring them to me.
You just promised.
Don't go back on what you just said.
(Ingredient Note)
(List of Customers)
(This place has the best quality chili peppers.)
(Shinsun Foods)
(Hyun Foods)
Even taking into notice that it was four years ago,
the place that Dal Nim used to buy her stuff is way more cheaper...
and the quality is way better.
What? A violin recital?
Is Sun Ho going to go?
I don't know about him.
But I think his mom's going to go.
Shouldn't you go on that blind date with Shinhwa Group's son?
Mom, why are you being so fickle?
I also want you to work things out with Sun Ho.
But he's not showing any kind of movement.
And Yi Ran has no intention of letting go of him either.
The least she could do is help, but that still won't guarantee anything.
If Sun Ho's family thinks of Taesung Group's daughter as his future wife,
do you think they'll be satisfied with you?
I'm not going to lose him this time.
You can stay still. I have a plan.
What plan?
Hello, ma'am.
Hi, Se Na. What's going on?
I called because I didn't get to eat with you last time.
And I also have something to tell you.
Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow.
What does she need to tell me?
Honey. Honey.
Who's texting him in this hour?
(Hi, Se Kang. It's Mi Mi.)
What?
Honey. Honey, wake up.
My gosh, what's wrong?
Who's Mi Mi?
Why is she texting you in the middle of the night?
Who's Mi Mi?
How am I supposed to know?
You just wait. What did she send this time?
(Please pay a visit to Mi Mi Business Club.)
My gosh, it's a spam text.
You just woke me in the middle of my sleep for nothing.
I'm sorry.
I know you'd never do such a thing.
But I must've suddenly lost my mind.
Why are they texting you in the middle of the night?
Don't they sleep? My goodness.
Go back to sleep. Go on.
By the way, did you send money to your mother?
- Yes, I did. - Okay, go back to sleep.
My gosh.
Let's go back to sleep.
(The black box memory card from Choi Ruby's car...)
That black box video footage was from Choi Ruby's car?
Hey, Chef.
I'll go pick you up tomorrow morning.
Come out on time.
No, you don't need to come.
I have no problem walking now.
And I need to go somewhere tomorrow morning.
Okay, okay. I'll be right there.
Something urgent came up, so I'm going to go to work early.
You didn't even eat breakfast. What's the matter?
I found a way to find better quality potatoes.
What do you mean?
I can't explain right now. I'll see you after work.
Okay, bye.
Bye, Grandma.
Mom, are you coming back from the mineral spring?
Where is Sun Ho running off to so urgently?
He told me that he found a way to find better quality potatoes...
and just ran off.
Is there a way to find a better quality CEO?
My gosh, Mom. Don't say that.
I guess Sun Ho's having fun at work now.
- Give that to me, Mom. - Okay.
Did you carry this heavy bottle all by yourself?
Back in the days, I used to carry a bag of rice all by myself.
I guess I've grown old now.
I'm out of breath just by carrying that.
My gosh, what are you saying?
I wouldn't be able to come down from the mineral spring with this.
You seem strong and healthy, but you're so weak.
What do you think about working at the warehouse?
You'll become stronger by working your body over there.
I was kidding. I can carry this like a feather.
I can easily carry 10 bottles.
Mom, I just need to carry this to the kitchen, right?
My gosh.
(Poongnyun Store)
Hello, sir.
Do you know where the owner of the store is?
What?
I'm the owner.
A young man answered the phone when I called earlier.
Oh, I guess my son answered your call.
Are you here to buy potatoes?
Yes, may I take a look at them?
Of course. Go ahead.
Okay.
It's firm, and it has a clear sprouting bud.
The quality of the potatoes are great.
Your son told me the price over the phone earlier.
I'll take all the potatoes here.
No, you can't do that. These are reserved for someone else.
This is the only box that's available.
I'll pay you more than the others. Please give them all to me.
I said no.
This is for a customer who's been dealing with us for over 20 years.
- How much do you need? - What?
I said I'll pay you more. How much do I need to pay for these?
How rude of you! Do you think I'm doing this for money?
If you sell these to our company, you'll be able to earn more money.
You can sell more potatoes for a better price.
I'm giving you a great offer. Why are you refusing?
I guess you only think of these potatoes as money.
But they mean much more than that to me.
What else do these potatoes bring you other than money?
You're obviously making money off of these.
Do you think money is all that matters?
I'm not going to sell my potatoes to a guy like you. Go away!
Get lost! My gosh, you punk. Get lost!
- Sir, what are you doing? - Get out of here! Go away!
I'm sorry.
How did you...
What are you doing here?
Can't you see? I'm being kicked out right now.
Are you still here?
My goodness. Dal Nim, long time no see.
Sir, how have you been?
I've been doing well.
Let's not talk here. Let's go inside.
Why are you still here?
Sir, what happened?
That punk wanted me to sell the potatoes I had kept for you,
saying that he'll give me more money.
My gosh, what a bad person.
I can't believe he tried to take something belongs to someone else.
That's totally immoral.
Right? He's a bad guy, isn't he?
- You punk! - Sir, it's a misunderstanding.
That's not what I meant.
Ms. Oh, what are you doing? Tell him that he's wrong.
You should be helping me right now. Why are you being like this?
Are you both acquainted with each other?
Sir, he's not a very moral person,
but he's not that bad either.
So please go easy on him just this once.
You didn't eat breakfast yet, did you?
- Come on in. - Okay.
What are you doing? Come on.
Are you just going to stand there?
Okay.
There.
Here you go.
I'm not giving you food because I like you.
I'm giving it to you just for Dal Nim's sake.
Yes, sir. Yes.
You've lost so much weight.
You must've gone through a lot.
I can't believe you were in prison for four years.
You knew about everything?
Everyone in my family...
felt so sad when we heard about...
what happened to you.
We knew you'd never do anything like that.
We were sure that something must've been mistaken.
We all believe in you.
Of course, we do.
So cheer up, Dal Nim. Okay?
Okay, thank you.
By the way, haven't you heard from your mom yet?
I wanted to ask you the same thing.
Do you know anyone who might know where my mom is?
You remember that person...
who used to do business with your father a long time ago?
Oh, do you mean Mr. Hyun?
I don't know his name,
but I remember that he used to look very kind.
Yes, it's Mr. Hyun. His name is Hyun Jung Soo.
Do you know his contact number?
I don't know it personally,
but I can ask around.
Then I'd appreciate it if you let me know once you find out.
Go ahead and eat.
My goodness.
- Here, have some. - Okay.
This tastes amazing.
My gosh.
Here, stop being picky and eat this.
And when you eat potato rice, you should eat it with this sauce.
- That's right. - It'll taste way better.
- Does it taste good? - It's so delicious.
I've never had potato rice before. It's really nice.
I come from a valley in Gangwon Province, a place where...
even clouds take a rest before traveling on...
because of how deep the valley is.
Back when we didn't have much to eat,
people would starve and not be able to eat this potato rice.
Potatoes were equivalent to our lives. They kept us alive.
I was able to educate my kids...
and marry them off...
by farming potatoes my entire life.
That's why they're worth much more than money to me.
I think of them as my own kids.
Sir.
I'm sorry for being disrespectful earlier.
I apologize.
If you're done eating, it's time for you to work for what you ate.
What? What do you mean?
Nothing's for free.
Were you just going to leave without doing anything?
(Poongyun Store)
Do we really have to do this?
Yes, we do. Go on and give it a try.
Come on. Say it.
These sweet pumpkins are like honey.
- They're only 2 dollars. - "They're only 2 dollars."
Say it louder. These cabbages are fresh and crispy.
They only cost 1 dollar and 50 cents!
"These cabbages are fresh and crispy."
"They only cost 1 dollar and 50 cents."
Ma'am, come over here.
All these vegetables are from the highland in Gangwon Province.
They all taste so sweet and delicious.
- I'll take three cabbages. - Thank you.
What are you doing? Pack the cabbages for her.
It's nice to see a young married couple work so hard.
A married couple?
- Aren't you married? - No, we're not.
How can we be married?
I'm grateful that you're buying from our store.
But please know what to say and what not to say.
I'm sorry.
Where did she go? She needs to take the change.
It's just 50 cents. She went that way. Just leave it.
Wait.
- Here's your change. - Thank you.
Bye.
She's the one who forgot to take it.
Why did you run over and give it to her?
It's not my money.
If you take what's not yours,
you'll end up having to throw it all up.
- Who told you that? - My parents.
Welcome.
- Do you want potatoes? - Yes.
They're very nice.
The monthly sales of the restaurant is increasing continuously.
The restaurant has currently collected...
more than half of all the extra expenses.
On top of that, the profit is...
twice the amount of what we initially expected.
Great work, Ms. Hong.
There were some issues at first,
but I guess it was all for the better.
Mom, some people call her Ms. Gold instead of Ms. Hong.
They say she keeps laying golden eggs.
Ms. Hong.
Tell us how you plan to lay more golden eggs.
We need to take into consideration that the sales might be...
increasing because the restaurant only opened recently.
So in order to stabilize the sales,
we're thinking of different kinds of service strategies.
We're going to do a competition...
among the workers at the restaurant to come up with ideas,
since they're the ones who actually deal with our customers.
What do you think, Ms. Yoon?
Ms. Hong is very smart, so I'm sure she'll do a good job.
Great job, Ms. Hong. Go and continue to lay your golden eggs.
I'll be off then.
Like you said,
she's a talented woman. Our company will always need her.
Yes.
But I'm worried that...
she might have too much work on her shoulders right now.
You're worried? What do you mean?
To be honest, I set her up on a blind date recently.
But she couldn't make it...
because she collapsed due to overwork.
Are you serious?
From what I heard,
she didn't go to that blind date because she already likes someone.
She likes someone?
Yes, that's what I heard.
Who's that?
I don't know.
(Hyunsung Holdings)
Se Na likes someone?
Who could that be?
(Ma Yoo Kyung)
There must be a good reason why...
she couldn't tell me anything.
I'm back.
How are you guys coming in together?
We just did.
Thank you.
No problem. By the way, about those potatoes...
They're cheaper but a lot better then other places.
That's because the owner and his family...
run a farm in Gangwon Province.
It's called Poongnyun Farm. It's well-known in this field.
They grow everything themselves...
including all the vegetables that are being sold in their store.
I see. I guess the products are cheaper...
because they run their own farm.
Here. I'll give this back to you.
You don't need to give it back to me yet.
You can use it for future reference if you need to.
This is yours.
I'm going to try and write my own ingredient notebook.
What?
You said I wasn't doing my job properly last time.
I'll admit to what you said.
So I'm going to try and gather information in my own way.
And this is for lending me your notebook.
- What's this? - It's Dutch coffee.
That's the best coffee ever.
"Dutch coffee"?
Don't you know Dutch coffee?
I only read about it in books. I never had it before.
You're a cook. I can't believe you never had it before.
Were you in prison or something?
It's not too late for you to try it out.
My gosh, this tastes amazing.
I found it. This is the taste I was looking for.
It has a refreshing and clean taste.
This is way better than an Americano...
or drip coffee. Don't you think so?
What are you talking about?
What do you think about having this for dessert?
I'm thinking of using this idea for the competition.
I see. So that's why you made me drink that bitter coffee.
You were testing coffee on me?
Dutch coffee? That's a great idea.
A great idea, my foot.
Dutch coffee is extremely expensive.
How can we serve that for dessert?
My lemon soda water sounds much better.
Is this that expensive?
I guess it won't work then.
The idea is still great. You should use that for the contest.
If the idea's great,
the company will figure out how to meet the costs.
I also think it'd be great if there was...
a Dutch coffee maker at the restaurant.
Thank you for the great idea.
I wasn't trying to help you or anything.
I just want our restaurant to grow.
That's the only reason why I helped. Don't get mistaken.
Of course.
I also lent you that notebook for the restaurant.
I didn't lend it to you for your own good.
Dutch coffee.
I enjoyed the meal thanks to you.
No, I should've bought you a meal earlier.
I was just so busy these days.
My gosh, I know how busy you are.
Thank you for saving time for me...
and treating me to a nice meal.
Don't say that.
I'm the one who always ate what you cooked.
Please sit here. I'll bring you some tea.
No, wait. Let's drink tea later.
Didn't you say you wanted to tell me something?
What is it?
(Kim Ji Hyeo's Violin Recital)
What's this?
I heard you and Sun Ho got invited to the violin recital.
Are you going to go?
Why are you asking me that?
I just don't want you to go there.
What? What gives you the right to tell me that?
Let me ask you something since we're talking about this.
I heard you like someone.
That's why you didn't go to the blind date.
But how can you tell us not to go to the violin recital?
Whether we go or not is none of your business.
I'm saying this because it is my business.
How?
You already like someone other than Sun Ho.
The person I like...
is Sun Ho.
(Sweet Enemy)
I heard Se Na likes someone.
- Do you know who that is? - I don't know.
- Here. - What's this?
I heard your husband likes this too.
How did you know?
You received money from Se Kang.
We'll vote by raising hands.
What a shame. I have no intention of doing that.
Is she trying to play games with me?
- The black box? - Was there another car...
at the summer house other than your aunt's car that day?
I heard the black box came from Choi Ruby's car.
I wonder why it came from her car. Isn't it strange?
Why is everything connected to you?
