(Episode 28)
Can I trust you with my daughter?
Yes, Sir. You can trust me.
I'll see you there.
What's that about?
I'm sorry, but I have to go.
Have a seat.
You should know that I'm not in a pleasant mood.
With the way I'm feeling, I wouldn't mind...
throwing you and your parents to the wolves.
I'm sorry.
I never wanted it to come down to this.
I also feel sorry...
about the situation Young Hwa's in.
Do you know...
what makes me even angrier?
It's the fact that I have no choice but to approve of this marriage.
Do you even love my daughter?
- No, I don't. - What?
Once you approve,
I promise you that I'll try and love her with all my heart.
Is that so?
Have you told anyone that she's infertile?
Of course not.
She can't know that I know either.
This I'm asking you as a parent.
Do you understand what I mean by that?
Yes, Sir.
You'll first need to sort things out with your wife.
Also, prepare yourself to be the son-in-law I need.
You know...
what'll happen if you don't.
Yes, Sir.
I wish you'd pick me up every day.
That might be tricky,
but I promise at least three times a week.
- Pinky swear. - Okay.
When's Grandma coming home?
She'll be here soon.
What did I tell you about looking after the house?
The front gate was wide open.
Grandma!
My little puppy, I missed you so much.
Mother, how did you...
What's wrong?
Did I come home earlier than expected?
Of course not.
Are the prosecutors done questioning you?
Isn't it obvious?
Anyway, where is everyone?
They're in the study.
This is going to be one long fight,
the in-house lawyers aren't enough.
I asked the team to hire more if necessary.
What is it? Do you need to be somewhere?
No, I don't.
- My gosh... - What are you all talking about?
Myung Sook, how are you here?
Isn't it obvious?
I've been cleared of all charges due to lack of evidence.
Do Hoon, be honest with me.
What did you do to Mr. Cha?
Can't you just be happy that I was released?
Honey, not now.
You answer me.
I did nothing.
I could always look into...
who helped your mom out.
Mr. Cha was indeed the one,
but I didn't do anything on my end.
That's the truth.
Am I supposed to believe that...
when I know what he's like?
Don't yell at him...
and check with Mr. Cha if you're that certain.
Is that so?
Fine. I'll call him right away.
Tae Hak,
I'm the one who met with Mr. Cha.
What? It was you?
I thought I had no choice.
- How much did you give him? - None yet.
However, I promised that we'd help him win the election.
I'm sorry. I'll resign if that's what you want.
Don't be absurd. We can always break our promise.
Are you out of your mind?
Tae Jin already promised him.
Then I should let the police arrest me again.
You're unbelievable.
Do Hoon and Tae Jin did their best to get me out.
This is how you say thanks?
How did you persuade Mr. Cha?
You heard how.
There's no need to hide it from me.
Did you find Young Hwa's weak spot?
There's no such thing.
I mean...
You know that better than anyone.
Why did Mr. Cha...
change his mind? I bet it wasn't money.
It just happened that way.
It's all good now.
Tell me.
I need to return the favor for nothing's for free these days.
Did he approve of your marriage with Young Hwa?
Yes.
Why? I know he needs funding for the election,
but he wouldn't give away his daughter like this.
He's been wanting me as his son-in-law,
so he approved once I told him I was getting a divorce.
Really?
Don't be hasty though.
All he probably wants is money,
and that we can give him.
I learned a valuable lesson this time.
Only families with power matter.
Besides, something like this can always happen again.
You've changed while I was away.
Remember that being slow and steady wins the race.
Of course.
Can you...
Can you really...
divorce Mo Ah?
Yes, Mother came home a few minutes ago.
That's great news. Do Hoon must've been worried.
I'll see to it that we visit you soon.
Sure, good night.
I was just on the phone with Auntie.
She seemed relieved. I guess she was truly worried.
Really?
Well, Mom's hungry.
I forgot I had everything set up.
You should bring Jae Min down.
We'll all have dinner together today.
It sure is nice to be rich.
It seemed like a huge case, but she was easily released.
You never know. She could've blabbered everything to the police.
As if. You know how she is.
I wouldn't be surprised if she even assaulted the prosecutor.
She's still nothing compared to you though.
At least she has money to back her up.
You have nothing but your ego.
Mom, she owns the restaurant.
Also, she's coming into a lot of money next month.
Isn't that right?
- A lot of money? - Yes.
Kong Chun Soo, you idiot.
Do I need to be stern with you like old times?
If you don't want that, please keep your mouth shut.
She did hit Chun Soo a lot in middle school.
Isn't that right, Mom?
Why did you have to bring that up?
Besides, you've been beaten too.
I'm not the one who had to go to the hospital.
Shut it, both of you.
It's nothing to be proud of.
Tell me more about this money you're coming into.
My legs hurt. It must be about to rain.
Honey, let me massage it for you.
About this money...
(Nam Hui Auto Shop)
Ms. Hong's home? That's great news.
She's in a good mood,
so come by tomorrow and ask for a job.
Would she agree to letting me work there?
We'll talk about this later.
Okay, bye.
Give me the list of our tabs.
Let's get paid before we close shop.
Ms. Hong has been released.
- Already? - It wasn't soon enough.
She would've had a hard time in there.
That's great news. Now I can feel less guilty.
Why would you feel guilty?
What?
It's nothing.
So where's Nam Hui? She wasn't home.
I haven't seen her all day.
Young lady.
If you're not going to buy any, please run along.
- Sir. - How much can I get you?
How's the business?
Good, I guess.
How much do you make a day?
It differs every day. Why do you ask?
I was hoping to earn some money myself.
We've been forced to close shop.
I see.
How much would I need to set this up?
Not much. It's not that difficult either.
- Then sell it to me. - No can do.
It took me a while to find this spot.
Now stop being a nuisance and go away.
It's difficult to...
find the right spot.
How much he earns is a secret.
(A secret!)
I feel bad for you.
You tried your best, but Do Hoon's had enough.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Nothing. I'm just grateful, that's all.
It's not like I did anything.
How on earth do we kick her out?
I'm off to work, then.
Sure.
Do Hoon's busy with work, so don't pester him.
I won't.
Look at how clumsy she is leaving her phone behind.
Let's see what's inside.
Who's this?
This is...
the auto shop owner's son.
I forgot my phone at home.
Yes, of course. Here it is.
- Thank you. I'll get going, then. - Sure.
You should've taken the day to rest at home.
It's about the auto shop owner's son.
- Kang Nam Koo? - Yes, him.
Does he know Mo Ah?
No. I mentioned him to her a couple of times,
but they don't know each other.
Why do you ask?
I saw a photo of him on her phone though.
On her phone?
I saw it myself.
What if they're having an affair?
You know that she's not like that.
This might give us the opening we need.
Should I look into it?
No. I'll figure out what's going on.
Why are you drinking it here instead of at your desk?
Old habits die hard. I'm just more comfortable here.
We'll drink together then.
Can you get me my mug from the conference room?
I could always bring it to you.
No, I'd rather drink it here.
I'll look after that for you.
I'll be back then.
This is Han River.
Why was she here?
Where am I right now...
is the place you...
Have you been drinking?
You're here.
I was getting tired of waiting.
But know this.
Once you do, you'll be the one breaking...
his mom's heart, not him.
Someone told me...
not to break my mom's heart.
Mo Ah must've...
Is this it? Let me pour you a cup.
Don't. I don't want it.
Why not?
I just don't.
I won't force you on blind dates anymore.
But you need rich in-laws.
For the election, I mean.
I shouldn't have pushed you so soon after your divorce.
You do have to remarry, though.
You can't live alone forever.
If you find someone worthy, take his hand in marriage.
It's not as easy as it sounds.
You know that I'm too much for any guy to handle.
Everyone in this world has flaws.
You just learn to love them too.
Did something happen?
This isn't like you at all.
How's the contract with TMO department store coming along?
If it's not working out, you should ask Do Hoon for help.
He's the one I discussed my contract with.
Really?
What do you think of him personally?
I find him to be a stellar young man.
He's nice,
but he's also married.
It's me, Mr. Kim.
Yes, I'm good to talk.
Is that so?
The new town development has been authorized?
Okay, good.
Finally. What took you so long to buy tteokbokki?
I've been craving some. I'm right on time.
I heard you fix cars like nobody else.
I came to check it out.
Still, you can't barge into the office like this.
Nam Koo, let's eat.
Hi, Young Hwa.
How have you been?
I came to eat tteokbokki.
I'm sorry, but there's only enough for two.
Really? But I really want some.
Do you really?
Yes, I'm literally dying over here.
You two are unbelievable.
She can have mine, then.
You can't take that back. Now let's eat.
You get started first. I need to talk to Nam Koo.
Sure.
The timing belt's a bit worn down,
but it's still good to go.
This reminds me of the first time we met.
You know, at the airport.
You were pretty cool back then.
I fell for you a little.
What's up with you today?
You seem oddly jolly.
Of course, I am.
I have news that'd shock you.
Nothing could ever shock me now.
Not when we've been asked to vacate immediately.
Don't.
Tell your landlord that I told you not to.
Are you here to pull my leg?
Should I tell him? I shouldn't do it for free though.
Oh, whatever.
This area's been authorized to go under development.
Did you just say development?
That's right. I heard my dad mention it.
Once it's officially approved,
you can stay here for at least three more years.
If I had known, I would've taken your money.
You're right.
If you had bought the building then,
you would've tripled the money.
Darn.
Young Hwa has no weak spot.
You know that already.
Doctor Cho, this is a surprise.
I'm calling to tell you about Director Shin's latest visit.
Do you mean Do Hoon?
Yes, I thought I should let you know.
Ms. Jung should get herself checked out.
Why? Is she ill?
Mr. Shin brought by some pills...
and asked what they were for.
Pills?
Well,
they treat infertility.
Mr. Shin denied it,
but I can't help think that it belongs to his wife.
All right.
Don't you dare mention this to my sister-in-law.
Do you hear me?
Thank you.
Young Hwa is infertile.
Do Hoon...
found out her weak spot.
Where were you?
I couldn't catch you all day.
I was with a friend.
The friend that helped with the interior design?
Did you have feelings for him?
A little.
He turned me down though,
and now we're just friends.
Anyway, I'd like to have dinner with you and your wife sometime,
and discuss paintings to hang here.
You should talk to my mom instead.
My wife is clueless.
That's weird.
I thought she majored in art.
She actually never went to college.
I lied about her doctor's degree too.
I'm sorry.
Who cares? I'd just like to meet her.
Actually,
we're currently not on good terms.
I didn't know. I'm sorry I asked.
It's all right.
Joo Hui, if you're done, can you take them to storage?
Excuse me.
Joo Hui.
Did you hear what I said in there?
Please don't tell Mo Ah what you heard.
My mom forbid me to introduce her to anyone.
I'm sure you understand.
I know you worry about her, but...
You want to be a full-time employee, right?
I've been thinking about promoting you anyway.
I'll make sure...
that it happens sometime soon.
Thank you. I trust that you'll keep silent.
You should learn English,
or Jae Min will think you're dumb.
How about you go to college?
Or study abroad?
I'm sorry. I know it wasn't easy.
My mom should've called before coming.
What's wrong?
Did Cha Young Hwa mistreat you?
Joo Hui.
What do you think about a man...
who speaks ill of his wife?
Gosh, you had me there.
Husbands speak ill of wives all the time.
My brother-in-law complains about my sister to me.
It's really annoying.
Hang on.
Are you talking about Do Hoon?
I should get a college education.
I think he's ashamed of me.
That's wrong of him.
I can't believe it.
You should just let the bomb drop,
and tell everyone you're married.
How dare he?
(Lee Joo Hui)
I'm glad you're here.
I was thinking about...
promoting your friend Joo Hui.
I've been too busy to actually look out for her.
Let's hand out the wedding invitations.
The invitations?
Already?
Maybe later.
When things settle down at the office.
Are you that ashamed of me?
What do you mean?
Did Joo Hui perhaps tell you something?
No, should she have?
No, I just told her that you seemed stressed out.
Anyway, let me take care of the invitations.
Put on your ring though. I'd at least like that.
Sure.
Thank you for looking out for Joo Hui.
My eyes are burning.
Anyway, this isn't enough to buy the sweet potato cart.
Hold on.
How much was it again?
(Turtles Gathered has a new member.)
Someone new joined.
Hold on.
Park Bo Gum?
I should ask him.
An online community for the intellectually disabled.
Maybe I shouldn't have joined.
I need to know about them in order to help solicit jobs.
I'm not sure about my username though.
Maybe I should've used "Song Joong Ki" instead.
I have a message.
Hello, Bo Gum.
Welcome to the club.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
I'm the club leader,
and have intellectual disability. What about you?
I too have intellectual disability.
It's nice to meet you.
Well, you'll need to answer a few questions first.
It's to fish out the pricks who have ulterior motives.
Pricks?
Don't worry. I've already reported a few to the police.
No way. What have I got myself into?
Question number one.
How is one diagnosed with intellectual disability?
What?
Unbelievable.
I didn't know there'd be questions.
What was it again?
You better not be searching the internet.
I'm seconds away from reporting you.
I know.
You can be officially diagnosed by a doctor.
That's correct.
- Here's the last question. - Already?
Too many questions will wear us both out.
What's the number on your disabled ID card?
What now? How am I supposed to answer that?
Here goes nothing.
It's 35215784.
That's an odd number.
Some pricks try to trick me by saying random numbers,
so this is your last chance.
To be honest,
I lost my card.
- Okay, you pass. - What?
- Hold on. - I lost mine too.
So here's the bonus question.
It's the most important one so listen up.
How much does a sweet potato cart cost?
I don't know that answer to that.
Then find out for me. My orders.
I'll talk to you again soon.
A sweet potato cart?
That's an odd question to ask.
Ms. Cha is indeed infertile.
It seems that Mr. Cha didn't know until now.
It sure is nice to be back home.
Why do you think Mr. Cha approved their marriage?
I'm guessing money. What else could it be?
What are you going to do if Tae Hak refuses?
You wouldn't have backed Do Hoon up if you thought he'd be a problem.
What's really in our way is Mo Ah.
Don't worry about her.
She'll crumble once Do Hoon asks for the divorce.
Are you sure?
- I'm home. - How was your day?
Where's Father?
He's in his study. You can go in.
- Father, I'm home. - I see. Mo Ah,
how are things between you and Do Hoon?
I'm sorry?
We're good as always.
That's nice to hear.
What's with those books?
I'm thinking about going to college,
although I'm not sure if I'd get in.
That's out of the blue.
Did your mother-in-law say something?
Of course not. I just want to, that's all.
I'll head on upstairs then.
Where's Mo Ah?
With your dad in his study.
Did you look into the photo she has of Nam Koo?
It was nothing but a coincidence.
Really?
Be nice to her as if nothing's changed.
Don't mention the divorce yet,
or she might come at you for everything.
The first thing is to sweep Young Hwa off her feet.
Do you get what I mean?
Will you excuse me?
Mo Ah's not one to even think about cheating.
(College Entrance Exam 101)
I bought it to study.
Why now when you didn't want to before?
It's not too late, and I will go to college.
I know you're ashamed of me.
I'm going to study abroad, so don't try and stop me.
Sure. Do your best.
We're closed.
I thought we could have a drink.
Weren't we done for good? Anyway, have a seat.
How's your love life coming along?
What on earth are you talking about?
As you can see, I'm a poor mechanic.
You're known to be good with ladies.
Could you teach me a few tricks?
Why?
To cheat on your wife?
Of course not. It's for business.
As if I'm going to fall for that.
Many business partners are female these days.
Every time I stand in front of a woman,
I get too intimidated.
You're still a married man.
I'm actually divorced.
What?
It's a long story, but that's what happened.
Then first change your hair.
- My hair? - And your necktie.
And your dress shoes.
Ladies hate men that seem uptight.
It turns out that you're doing it all wrong.
- Am I that helpless? - I'm kidding.
Anyway, here's to our repaired friendship.
He's ashamed of me,
but not the meal box I pack him.
Is that what you're wearing?
I thought I'd look less uptight.
Still, you have a meeting today.
At least wear a tie.
I'm good. Did you pack my lunch?
I did.
I was surprised you asked me for one.
I'm busy, so this will save me some time.
He should've worn a tie.
I like his old look way better.
Can someone in your position dress like this?
- Is it weird? - No, it looks good on you.
I was about to say something about your style anyway.
Women can instantly spot a man with no confidence.
So always be confident.
Have you eaten?
If you haven't, you can join me.
You go ahead. I'm not hungry.
Compliments bring down their walls.
So compliment her.
This color looks good on you.
It must be your favorite.
Are you ill? You're not yourself today.
Those with a big ego fall for the alpha male.
So take initiative.
What do you think you're doing?
Can't you for once just follow my lead?
Hold on.
