[Episode 25]
Sir, that's Ms. Han Jung Eun. What should I do?
Just go.
Hyun Woo, are you home?
Where did he go?
He's not picking up his phone, either.
I'm sure she repented while I was gone.
She's always taking her granddaughter's side.
She mistreats me because she knows I get lonely and depend on her.
Gwi Boon.
Did you eat lunch?
I had dough soup downstairs.
Where did she go?
What's going on?
Hey, Gwi Boon is missing.
What?
Gwi Boon is missing.
- Why would she be missing? - I'm sure she left for a little bit.
Where would she go with that arm?
Since the roads are slippery
she said she won't go anywhere until the cast is off.
She won't even pick up her phone.
Some lady comes on blabbing she can't take the call.
Just wait.
You said just before that you can't stand her.
But you already miss her?
Try being my age, kids are useless.
It's best to have someone who can stay by my side all the time.
Maybe she left because we hurt her pride about how Dong Hee should be married.
I doubt that, Mother.
Mother, we didn't hurt Gwi Boon's pride.
Come on in.
Come in.
Have a seat, the ceiling won't cave in.
What do you think, Mom? It hasn't changed at all, right?
You should take a look around.
Why did you bring me here?
Come on, you are disappointing me.
Why are you being like this?
You left as soon as I got into college
so how long has it been?
It's been exactly 30 years.
After you left like that, you didn't miss us?
Of course I missed the family.
Madame was so good to me.
Then how come you didn't call after all this time?
My son's family died in an accident.
And that's why I had to quit working here.
They had two kids.
It wasn't easy for me losing my child, and having to take care of the grandkids.
It sounds like you went through some rough times, Mom.
You should have called my mother, and asked for some help.
After that, I never saw the chairwoman.
Oh, really?
Of course.
- Dad. - Yeah.
- You had a guest? - Yes.
Say hello, she's like a mother to me.
Hello.
Yes, it's nice to meet you.
She's my heir to the company.
Yeah?
Who is that lady?
I'm not sure, I just heard that she used to work here.
In the past?
Since we met like this, how about working here again?
I'm too old to work as a housekeeper now.
I can't cook like I used to, either.
No, your fermented soybean paste tasted the same as before.
What do you mean?
Your granddaughter, Oh Dong Hee.
What about Dong Hee?
She works at our company.
You didn't know?
Mom.
You really never met my mother once?
You never once met with my mother in the last 30 years?
I told you I never did.
Why are you doing this to me?
Then do you know where Hyun Jung is?
Hyun Jung?
Who is Hyun Jung?
Deceased Gwang Ho's daughter.
Gwang Ho had a daughter at the same time I did.
He did?
Gwang Ho had a daughter?
There's no way you wouldn't have know that.
Both you and Mother liked Gwang Ho more than me.
That's not true.
No?
I have no idea why you are saying that.
Why are you denying it?
Both you and the chairwoman favored Gwang Ho
so I used to get so upset.
You really don't know Hyun Jung?
I don't know.
It's my first time hearing that name.
Mom.
Get inside safely.
I'll visit often.
Okay.
I hope your arm heals soon.
Take the tonic and I'll send you more if you run out.
Gwi Boon.
Oh my gosh.
Where were you all day today?
Who are those men?
Why did they drop you off at home?
Did you go on a date today?
You and your nonsense...
Take this herbal tonic, and go upstairs.
Come on... Gwi Boon!
Gwi Boon!
Grandma.
I need to talk to you.
You went somewhere?
What's the name of the company you work for?
FGC.
Why do you ask, Grandma?
FGC?
Not Hwa Shin Group?
Oh, Hwa Shin Group?
It's been more than 15 years since they stopped using that name.
What?
They used to be called Hwa Shin Group, but now they are called FGC.
Grandma, what's wrong?
It's nothing.
Tell me what's wrong.
I want you to quit.
Why?
Was Sung Joon's mom concerned about how you are always with him?
- Yes. - How can you hear that from her?
I can't walk around with my head up because of you.
I'm sorry.
Quit that job right now.
- Grandma, still... - And we will move out soon.
- What? - Quit tomorrow.
Do you understand?
You really won't go out to work?
No.
Dong Hee.
Take this.
What's this?
My resignation letter.
Dong Hee.
This is one nice thing about living in the same house as you.
If you are done talking to me, please leave.
This is my work place now.
You really need to do this?
Yes, I won't work there anymore.
Why? Because of the rumor that I pulled strings for you?
Yes, and you are a thief that stole my script.
I can't work with you or the nasty Eliza.
You gave me that script, and asked me to look it over.
Stop calling me a thief, and who is this Eliza?
You've never read the classic comic book, "Candy Candy?"
There's a mean girl with curly hair that always mistreats Candy.
That's Eliza, she looks just like Director Bang.
What?
She said something to you again?
What did she say?
Forget it.
- Dong Hee. - Just leave.
I don't work for that company anymore.
Fine, I won't work with someone who considers writing to be only a hobby.
- What? - But!
Submit this yourself.
This isn't right.
Moong Chi, be quiet.
Moong Chi, I told you to be quiet!
I'm not giving you any food today.
Chang Soo, you have a very nice voice.
But like I said, try lowering your diaphragm and opening up your throat.
- Okay. - We call this, "Maschera."
Imagine that the sound is coming from the front of your head, not your mouth.
- Should we try again? - Okay, I understand.
Yes, hello?
Ji Hoon's Mom, have you been well?
Yes, Director...
Have you been well?
I'm calling because of Ji Hoon.
Mother, did something happen to him?
Oh...
What is it about?
His grades dropped so much.
I was wondering if something happened over the break.
How much did it drop?
What?
Han Ji Hoon! Han Ji Hoon!
Han Ji Hoon!
Oh my goodness... What?
Ranked tenth in the school? Tenth?
I'm trying to raise Chang Soo as the best musician.
But she made Ji Hoon's grades drop to tenth?
What the heck?
Wait until she comes home.
Why is this here?
This isn't Ji Hoon's handwriting.
Oh my gosh.
Hye Joo solved this herself?
Oh my gosh.
What's that?
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh, what's all this?
What's all this?
Han Ji Hoon.
What are you doing?
Mother...
What do you think you are doing?
Here we are, let's eat something yummy tonight.
Why can't you say anything?
What were you doing all this time?
What's this?
I think you should go down to the basement.
- Ah In... - Why can't you answer me?
Why?
Ah In, stay here with Chang Soo, okay?
You are not going to say anything?
It's none of your business now.
You still think I'm going to get hurt by those words?
I don't care if you say that now.
I decided not to care whether you are my birth son or not.
Once a marine, always a marine!
Once a son, always a son.
From now on, that will be my motto.
Hey, Hee Sook.
You should kneel down next to him, too.
Me, too?
Why? What did I do?
I told you to have him study, and you solved the workbook for him?
When did you see this?
Hye Joo, this is too much.
In order to raise Chang Soo as a world famous opera singer
I'm going through all sorts of hardships.
I had to bow 3,000 times.
But you are solving the workbook for Ji Hoon?
Why are you being so unfair?
She did that because I told her I won't work on them.
- So why not? - Because I didn't feel like it.
I see you're having the time of your life now that you have a new mom.
Hey, why is it any of your concern?
- Why are you yelling at my son? - Both of you, shut up!
And what's that switch over there?
Don't touch it!
What the heck is going on in this basement?
His grades fell to tenth in the school.
And you are working on the workbooks for him.
I came down to the basement after some time and I see that.
What in the world is that?
That's my magic switch.
What?
Magic?
Yes!
What's wrong with this?
What's going on?
I'm going to become a magician instead of going to college.
Hey, Ji Hoon.
What?
A magician?
I think this is broken.
Hyun Woo.
Sang Woo.
Sung Joon!
Let's go in, Father.
Sir.
Sir!
Yes.
What are you thinking about?
It's nothing.
Are you having regrets?
No.
Not at all.
It's already been decided.
I don't have any regrets.
I'm worried because you are being so firm and emphatic.
You left the home before you verified for the last time.
If it's something I have to do anyway, I should do it firmly.
I can't even tell him that I'm his brother.
I can't just watch Sang Woo from afar.
I'll stay here until I leave.
This is the proposal for the investment.
Take a look.
Thank you.
Then what are you going to do about Ms. Han Jung Eun?
Welcome.
How could you?
How could you do this?
You are so messed up.
You're a jerk...
That silly dating book you are reading...
What about it?
It talks about the type that just disappears from a relationship.
When the guy gets sick of the girl, he'll just disappear without saying anything.
Just like you.
You thought I had disappeared?
No?
I'm sorry.
I had something come up.
Something about your brother?
Yes.
Did you get to see him?
Yes.
What happened?
You told him that you are his brother?
Why?
Is there anything you've wanted to do that was mentioned in that book?
What?
We'll take this.
No, it's just a couple ring.
Let's go with this.
I'll take this.
No.
I'll put it on for you, too.
It's okay.
Stay still, I'll put it on.
Wow, it's so nice.
So pretty.
It looks good on you.
Time flies, right?
It feels just like yesterday when you confessed that you are David Lee.
Right?
Yeah.
We've gone through so much in that time, right?
Just in that one day, so many things happened.
- You got drunk and slept on my sofa... - Stop.
You said you shouldn't talk about the past.
Don't drink so much from now on. And don't sleep just anywhere.
Fine.
Actually, I'm thinking about quitting drinking.
Nice.
I'll drink today, and quit starting tomorrow.
Even if you have a fight with your mom, you should go home.
Even if you don't want to hear her nag, listen to her.
I'm sure she's saying all that because she cares about you.
I know that, too.
You are being so weird today.
Why are you nagging me like an old man?
You should stop making trips to the police station.
How long are you going to keep that up?
Don't follow strangers around.
When you first came here, you got into my car when I told you to get in.
What if I had been a bad guy?
Hyun Woo, why are you doing this?
Why are you doing this?
You sound like you're getting ready to leave me.
Why are you doing this?
I...
I'm going back to New York.
What?
I found Sang Woo.
And I've finished with all my work here in Seoul.
No way, you should live with your brother then.
It will be best for my brother just to continue his way of life.
That's why I'm going back to my place.
What about me?
What about us?
What will happen to us?
What about me? Was I nothing to you?
Actually, I... lied to you.
I'm still the owner of Golden Street.
That's why I can't stay in Korea.
Did you know already?
What difference does it make?
Whether you are the CEO of Golden Street or the chief of a construction site
it never mattered to me.
I'm sorry.
Are you...
breaking up with me?
You can tell me you'll come back.
You have your adopted parents and the company
so I understand you have to go there for a while.
But why are you talking as if you'll never come back?
Why are you talking as if we are breaking up?
The man who killed my father is taking care of Sang Woo.
I don't think I'll be able to stay here and watch that.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Why are you doing this?
When are you leaving?
As soon as I finish my business here in Korea.
Are you going to come back?
- Jung Eun. - Let go of me.
Are you kidding me?
You were just playing around with me?
Then what's this?
What's this?
Even if you were just having fun, how can you dump me like this?
Even if I'm loud and boisterous...
I was sincere.
I was sincere about you.
- I know. - And you still did this?
Lee Hyun Woo, I'm so disappointed in you.
You are the worst, don't ever come see me again.
I will curse myself for ever falling in love with you.
Hey, what's wrong?
What happened?
Come on...
Hello.
Yeah, I'll give them the resignation letter myself.
Oh, Writer Oh.
You are coming in now?
- Why are you doing this? - Now that you are a writer
you come in after the chairman?
And you even took a day off yesterday?
You've changed so much.
That's not it.
- Something came up. - Ms. Oh Dong Hee.
I have to call you Writer Oh now?
- That's so weird. - What?
Stop putting on an act, I know you are happy.
Oh my gosh, maybe she should take your seat now, Writer Hong.
Don't worry about me.
I'm fine.
- Writer Hong, actually... - Ms. Oh Dong Hee...
You may have been promoted on the content team
but not on the marketing team.
Let's make our roles clear.
Assistant Oh Dong Hee.
You were chosen to go help out at the shareholder meeting today.
- Please go work hard. - Captain Park...
I actually came today because...
I wanted to give you this.
The shareholder meeting will begin soon.
Isn't Ms. Oh Dong Hee supposed to go?
Yes, I was just about to send her.
Let's start our meeting.
Wait, Director Han!
Oh, I almost forgot.
Ms. Oh Dong Hee.
Submit the concept for the new product before you go.
What?
- Please come in, everyone. - Okay.
Oh Dong Hee, hurry and go help at the shareholder meeting.
Why haven't you closed the content business?
Just because we have a TV slot doesn't mean it will be a hit.
It's been three years.
The problem is with Director Han's qualifications.
Three years isn't enough time to see results in the contents business.
We've already invested a lot, we should wait at least two more years.
Don't you agree, Director Bang?
Yes, the work we've been executing in the Chinese market for the last three years
will start bringing in a profit this year.
And domestically, we already have the TV slot.
If we end it like this, there would be no return on our investment.
It would be a huge loss.
I make myself clear that beginning this year
the contents business will be profitable.
We heard you lost the contract with Writer Jo.
Yes, that's true.
But...
Even with her, this may have been a flop.
Are you suggesting that you'll get a replacement writer and proceed?
Do you even have a replacement project in mind?
You have a replacement writer?
We've already chosen our replacement project.
You don't need to worry.
We will sign with the writer soon.
Is that true?
Then you will be able to proceed without any problem?
Yes.
I'm sorry to all the directors who came today
but I need to leave for an emergency.
Okay, go ahead.
This content team is the problem.
Chairman.
Director Han, you just need to sign here.
Okay.
PD Kim, go outside.
Okay.
You are being sneaky now?
What are you saying?
Director Park called me.
You sent him Oh Dong Hee's synopsis without discussing it with me first?
What are you saying? I didn't send him a synopsis.
You are going to proceed now without waiting for my permission?
What are you saying? You are my boss.
I told you that I would follow your decision.
Then why did you send Director Park Oh Dong Hee's synopsis?
- Excuse... - PD Kim, why are you still in here?
Excuse me, Director Bang.
Director Park kept asking me for a synopsis, so I sent it to him.
- I thought you were done talking. - What?
- I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
How can you do that when nothing has been finalized?
I'm so sorry!
You can't keep the chairwoman's status as missing forever.
Then?
We don't know if she's alive or dead, but you want to report her dead?
Then how much longer do we have to postpone viewing her will?
You want to list my mother as dead just so can see the will?
Is that what you are saying?
How can you be so cruel?
It's been 20 years, but I'm sure my mother is still alive and well.
I'm certain of that.
My mother is alive for sure.
Mother!
Now, now...
We had decided to talk about this when the chairman is ready.
Still, when Bang Hyun Jung would have become the major shareholder
he was so quick to declare her dead.
But what's his reason for postponing the death report of the chairwoman?
Show us the chairwoman's will.
Are you sure that Bang Hyun Jung is dead?
- Damn... - Tell us the truth!
Where is Bang Hyun Jung?
They are so relentless.
The meeting is over now, so it will be quiet for a while.
Did you look into what I told you?
Just as Oh Gwi Boon said, after her son died
she spent her life raising the grandkids.
Then who is Oh Dong Hee?
She's the granddaughter of Oh Gwi Boon's brother.
What?
Her brother was taking care of her and he died.
So Oh Gwi Boon started taking care of her as well.
Yeah, the chairwoman wouldn't have kept her precious granddaughter
with a poor woman like that.
These two senile women are really driving me insane.
The scent of this herbal tonic...
It's to die for.
Who's the man that gave this to her? And she tried to eat it by herself...
She's a woman of skills.
Wait, should I eat one more?
Yes, I would prefer a live-in housekeeping position.
I just need a room that I can share with my granddaughter.
I don't care if I get paid a little less.
- Yes. Yes. - Gwi Boon.
Thank you, I'm hanging up.
You should just rent this room.
Why do you keep barging in when I'm talking on the phone?
Why do you keep making secret phone calls?
I wasn't making a secret phone call.
No?
- What the heck... - Where do you think you are going?
- What are you doing? - Tell me the truth.
- What do you want me to say? - Who's the man?
The gray-haired, not-so-handsome man who dropped you off yesterday.
Who was that wealthy man that bought you this tonic?
You don't need to know.
Are you dating him?
What?
What did you say?
Maybe I was too straight-forward.
Gwi Boon came right back.
Mother is too much.
Now that she's old, she gets nervous.
What is there to be nervous about? Her kids are right here with her.
That's not like that, Honey.
Yeah, it is.
She just accused me of making Gwi Boon leave home.
You should watch what you say when you live with an elder.
Goodness....
You never know how your words will hurt them.
When you get old, you get disappointed over everything.
I'm old, too.
I get disappointed, too.
I'm disappointed at Mother for always finding fault with me.
Forget it, let's stop.
I'm sure the two of them will get along again.
What's wrong with you?
What?
A magician? Are you serious?
Yeah.
I can't believe this.
What?
- Dad. - Yeah, Ah In.
- So? - Look over there.
She threw a fit before you came.
Honey, I think I'm going to do something to Kang Hee Sook right now.
Please stop me.
Dad, Auntie bought me a workbook.
This.
- So where is Ji Hoon? - He ran out crying.
What?
Sung Hoon! Sung Hoon!
Sung Hoon!
Sung Hoon.
Sung Hoon, how could you do this?
What?
How can you think to make Ji Hoon into a magician, not send him to college?
- How can you do that? - That's what he wants, what can I do?
You let him do whatever he wants? What is a parent for?
A parent is supposed to guide the child onto the right path.
You two still don't think of Ji Hoon as your own son?
- Hey, Han Sung Shik. - Sung Shik!
We are trying so hard to raise Chang Soo well.
But you're not even raising him well. What do you think you are doing?
Not raising him well?
Are you done talking?
No, we are not done.
Go upstairs while I say it nicely.
I didn't want to have to say this.
But I'll have to raise both Chang Soo and Ji Hoon.
- What? - What did you say?
No matter how I look at it, you two have no idea how to raise a child.
You are too busy with work, you have no interest in the kids' education.
It's not that we have no interest...
These days, kids are are different.
During our days, we could get into college just by doing homework.
But now, you can't even go near a college without the parents' rearing.
You two only care about coming out of good colleges yourselves?
You need to raise the kids well
so at least, they don't have to live in a basement like this.
Hey, Kang Hee Sook.
Seriously...
Yeah, we live in a basement.
So what?
It's our parents' basement at that, so what?
But we are still not ashamed to face our kids.
We don't commit crimes, embezzle money
or steal from the poor to feed our own kids.
We're not parents like that.
Ask the kids if they want nice and just parents
or parents with power that can rear them.
What?
Kids don't want to live the same life as their parents.
They want a more upgraded life.
A more upgraded life than their parents'.
And the only way to do that in our country is through education.
They need to graduate from a better college than the other kids.
Yeah, that's right. That's our educational philosophy.
I can't just let this happen anymore.
From now on, I'll take care of the kids' education.
So the two of you can go out and make money.
What?
Give Chang Soo and Ji Hoon to me, and...
Give Ah In to me, too.
I've been watching her, and she plays too much.
Mom. Dad.
Han Ah In.
Did you study the 180 Chinese characters workbook I bought you?
You want to get a scolding from me?
It's okay...
Darn it, I didn't get to submit the resignation letter.
I will definitely submit it tomorrow.
You want to quit that badly?
- When did you get home? - Just now.
You looked so pathetic staring at the resignation letter
so I was watching you.
- Director Han. - I'll make it short.
I'll just say one thing.
What is it that you want to do from now on?
One.
Live 16 years and eight months as a slave doing secretarial work for FGC.
No, three months have passed, so it will be 16 years and five months.
Two.
Work hard at FGC doing secretarial work
and just get old hoping for the big break one day of becoming a writer.
- What? - Three.
Quit working at FGC
and live as an impatient failure, who can't finish anything
running away from the 200 million won debt.
- Excuse me. - Four.
Work as a new writer at FGC
and work hard to become a recognized writer.
Why are you doing this?
I'm not kidding around.
Face the reality.
This is only the beginning.
The difficulties begin now.
Through no fault of mine, the TV station got a hold of the synopsis.
- What? - They really like it.
You are the only one who doesn't realize the value of your work.
How did that...
Think about what is the best thing for you to do.
You can resign any time, but you won't always get a chance like this.
Are you going to stand up and fight?
Or are you going to think about your pride and run away?
You make the decision.
Then.
Right.
I saw the comic book, "Candy Candy," too.
But I don't like Candy or Eliza.
- What? - Neither one is my style.
Excuse me...
Is your mom dead?
Are you going to cry forever?
Mom, please just let me be. Why are you doing this?
I know you're my daughter, but you had to take after me?
Let him go.
And don't wait for him, why?
Once he leaves, he'll never come back.
If you are still like this by the time I get back from school
we'll both die then, do you understand?
Again.
Lower the diaphragm and open up your throat.
Do it again.
Teacher, this is so hard.
Clear your head, and tighten up your stomach.
Again.
Damn kids...
I'm so upset.
Wait, this...
No...
It can't be him.
He's so egotistical and arrogant, he would never sing a Korean song.
He's so arrogant he would only sing arias.
I should rip him to pieces.
If he ever comes back...
I've been too stressed about my daughter.
I must be hearing things.
Han Ye Ri, calm down.
You are amazing.
You haven't changed at all.
My voice is old, too, now.
Don't say that, you are a world famous baritone.
World famous baritone?
But have you come back for good?
It's not 100 percent decided, but I'm thinking about it.
I sang too many foreign songs traveling all over the world.
I want to sing songs in our language.
And I need to give back to my own country with my songs now.
I'm going to be releasing a crossover album.
It was a good time to come back.
That's great.
Anyway, it's been so long.
- Yeah, more than 30 years. - I know.
When we were in music school, you, me, and Ye Ri...
I'm sorry.
Is your boyfriend well?
Yeah.
How are you supposed to eat this?
Whatever, let me wash my hands first.
Can you make a special ramen for me?
- Yes. - Put an egg in it and make it good.
This is so good.
Thank you.
I had no idea a cabbage could be this good.
Good thing I ate this.
So good.
Ye Ri!
Who are they?
They are a world renown investment company, best in the field.
They are very stable and very reputable.
Then why do they want to invest in our content business?
It's not like we even have a definite project, yet.
Everything is still very uncertain.
What do they see in us that they want to invest that huge amount?
- It's all thanks to you. - What?
He wants to invest because of you, Han Sung Joon.
There comes our Director Han.
Hello.
I'm Han Sung Joon, the director of the content marketing team.
Director Han, show some respect.
This is CEO David Lee from the leading investment firm, Golden Street.
It's a pleasure.
You've made the right decision.
Content is the business of the future.
That's right.
That's why we want to invest.
I'm sure you've already done a thorough check on us.
But Director Han Sung Joon is a recognized producer in this field.
I know that already.
And I also know that there is a bit of a problem with the current production.
Yes, that's right.
Are you saying that you want to invest in our new drama?
I want to invest in the drama that you are preparing right now.
The writer we had contracted had to back out because of a previous agreement.
That means we still don't have a writer or a project set, yet.
Yes, I'm aware of that as well.
May I ask why you decided to invest in us despite all those things?
Director Han.
Intuition, after having observed you for a long time.
And my trust in your ability.
What?
That's how I work.
