We'll take Chungil Flour.
We'll take it? How do you mean?
There is a way.
We'll mix limestone powder into their flour.
Limestone powder?
What will happen when people find out they mixed...
lime powder to reduce the cost?
What then?
I'll call a newspaper anonymously.
It'll be a captivating story...
and they'll write about it.
And the authorities will have to launch investigation.
If someone gets sick from the flour mixed with lime powder,
Chungil's reputation will fall, and they will lose business.
They will face financial problems.
That would topple the company.
How can I use that to take over?
Offer financial aid in return for joint management.
Madam Cho won't be able to refuse...
and we can swallow the company whole without any problem.
The only issue would be how to mix limestone powder into the flour.
We need an insider's help.
Father. You're in touch with Secretary Kim.
We should use him?
Yes, exactly.
Chungil Flour may seem sturdy now,
but if they get in trouble later on,
couldn't we use that niche?
Will they announce the head of the local chapter today?
Yes.
They must know by now. Why don't you call Congressman Park?
What for? I don't care if I get in or not.
Why wouldn't they pick you?
He's right. You will win the vote.
I'm not sure if I should let someone else get me into politics.
I'm still a bit wary.
People like you should become politicians.
You work in and for the community.
Our country needs people like you.
Jeong Wook's right, Dad.
I respect you more than anyone in the world.
Do you?
Hello?
Congressman.
Oh, you appointed me?
The investiture's tomorrow?
Okay.
I'll see you then.
You're in?
Apparently.
Congratulations, honey.
Congratulations, Dad.
What did I say? I knew it.
Congratulations, Jae Man.
Thank you, all of you.
Father, congratulations.
Thanks. I owe it all to you.
I thought about what you said yesterday.
Do you really think we can take over Chungil Flour that way?
Yes. Trust me.
Okay, then. I will.
I'll contact Secretary Kim, like you said.
I will prove to you that you made the right choice.
You can leave.
Mr. Nam, it's me.
Get me a house in Seoul.
An expensive one in Seongbuk-dong, the sooner the better.
Seon Woo, it's me. If you're free,
shall we have lunch together?
Today? I'm a bit busy.
Are you?
I was going to meet up with Soo In...
and then eat lunch with you.
If you're too busy, we'll eat by ourselves.
No, Grandma, I'll join you.
You said you're busy.
I'm not.
Okay, see you there.
Hello, I'm Seonil Sewers' Kim Seon Woo.
I'm sorry but I need to postpone today's lunch appointment.
Something came up at the factory. Sorry.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
(Chungil Flour)
- To Myeongdong. - Yes, madam.
Come in.
- Hello. - Hi.
Welcome.
Look around and pick a few items that you like.
What? No, madam. I'm fine.
You are not fine.
You don't have anything but the clothes you're wearing now.
Take your pick.
Ma'am...
You're really disobedient.
- Miss. - Yes?
Pick a few outfits you think will suit her.
Yes, ma'am. Come with me. I'll help you.
Ma'am, I really am okay.
We don't have much time. Hurry up and take your pick.
Come with me.
(Myeongdong Fashion Boutique)
Gosh.
Fine feathers make fine birds. You look so pretty.
You bought me too many clothes when you didn't have to.
I feel so guilty.
Don't be.
Now that you're working for me,
you'll meet many distinguished guests.
You can't look too shabby. That would hurt my reputation.
The clothes are also a form of bribery to ask you to do well.
Don't feel too bad.
If you do, work hard and well, okay?
Okay. Thank you so much.
I think we're done for the morning.
I'm hungry. Let's go and eat.
I was born in Haeju.
I eat here whenever I feel homesick or lonely.
I see.
My hometown is so near yet so far.
I can only eat the food and try to overcome the sadness.
Seon Woo and I like very different foods,
but fortunately he likes the food here.
We come here sometimes.
What timing.
You came in at the wrong time.
Were you talking about me?
Yes. I was making fun of you.
Were you? Do you want to go on? Shall I leave?
You can.
Let's eat.
- Enjoy. - Thanks.
Thank you.
You must be hungry. Let's eat.
Thanks for the meal.
Sure.
There's a lot.
Have you heard the rumor?
What rumor?
I heard about it from a friend.
This investment guarantees 10 times the profit.
You idiot.
Don't you dare mention investments to me.
That's how my life got into a mess and you're telling me about it?
I lost money too.
We humans are so greedy. After all the money we lost,
I still liked the idea of making 10 times the investment.
What if everyone but me invested and made money?
I would feel so jealous and angry.
Don't get such silly ideas...
and focus on running your business.
It's best to work an honest job and save up your hard-earned cash.
- I'm off. - Okay, bye.
Hi, Dong Chul.
Hello.
Why are you here and not Young Sun?
I came instead because I have something to say.
The army friend I met in the restaurant.
Bae Choon Bok, was he?
Oh, right. I'd forgotten.
What?
Choon Bok had asked me to arrange a date with you.
Really? When?
As soon as we left the day he saw you in the restaurant.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I'd forgotten all about it.
Would you like to meet up with him?
Well...
Don't you like him? If you don't, I'll say you weren't interested.
Who said I'm not interested? Can't I think about it?
Okay. Say I'll meet up with him.
Hello?
Hello, Mi Ja.
You heard already?
I'm not a congressman's wife yet. You're taking it too far.
I was going to treat everyone at tomorrow's gathering anyway.
It's my turn to get the money.
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
Sook Hee, are you getting some money?
What? No, not this time.
I heard you on the phone.
You just said it's your turn.
You must've misheard me.
It was my turn last month.
Why are you home?
I got flour on my pants and wanted to change.
Okay, then. Get changed and go back out.
She definitely said it's her turn this time.
Goodbye.
Did you enjoy your meal?
Yes. I did because I hadn't eaten here in a while,
and because you paid for it.
Did the food suit your taste?
Yes, I really liked the meal.
Good. I have to go back to work now.
I have a meeting. Secretary Kim can take these.
Secretary Kim, load these up.
I can take them home.
Don't. They're heavy.
Oh, I almost forgot. On your way home,
drop by Sungjin Herbs in Gyeongdong Market...
and pick up the herbs.
I will.
I'll see you both at home later.
Goodbye, ma'am.
Bye, Grandma.
Do you know the way to Gyeongdong Market?
I haven't been there before but I know the way.
I'll manage.
How about I just come with you?
You don't have to. I'll manage alone.
You must have a lot of work to do.
I was going to get some herbs to give to a client anyway.
I'll get what I need while you run my grandma's errand.
Let's head over together.
(Sungjin Herbs)
I think this is it. I'll get the herbs right away.
Okay.
Are you done?
I'll get going now.
- You're not going anywhere. - Pardon?
You can't just leave me because you got what you came for.
What do you mean?
What I meant was...
I don't know what herbs to get...
and I need your help to pick them.
I don't know about herbs.
Won't 2 heads be better than 1?
Let's try going that way. And look around.
Come along.
My bag!
Wait here.
Oh, no...
Stop right there!
Give it back right now.
Hand it over.
Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim.
- Here you go. - My gosh.
You're hurt. Shouldn't you see a doctor?
I'm fine. It's nothing.
I got you into trouble. I'm so sorry.
I'm okay, don't worry.
You must've been very scared.
I shouldn't have dragged you along.
This wouldn't have happened if I'd sent you home earlier.
Don't apologize. I feel even worse.
Are you sure you don't need help? You're bleeding.
It's just a scratch. Don't worry.
Hi, Tae Soo.
Why'd you call me?
Why else would I call you?
Tonight, we have to...
Mr. Hwang.
Really?
Gather a few more. There's still time.
Yes. We need to score big this time.
Let's see just how good you are, Mr. Hwang.
Okay, bye.
James will bring us another load tonight.
Head over to the warehouse. Mang Chi and the boys will be there.
Okay.
You reap what you sow.
Jae Man did a lot of good and now he got into politics.
Our old proverbs are all correct.
You must be pleased to be the brother-in-law of a politician.
You bet. And when Jae Man becomes a congressman,
he might give me a meaty position.
I should try to get on your good side, then.
You are already on my good side.
That investment deal you mentioned before.
Can you set up a meeting with Mr. Hwang for tomorrow?
Will you invest?
Yes. I think I can get some money tomorrow.
How much did you invest?
I'm still thinking about it. I'm not sure if I should.
I thought you had more guts than this.
The more you invest,
the more profit you will reap.
You could end up losing everything.
No, no. I feel very good about this deal.
Will you really go alone?
Can't we all go and congratulate you?
It won't look good for me to cause such a big fuss.
You really hate to show off...
and are so righteous.
We all know that.
There's something I need to ask of you all.
We're listening.
Now that I got into politics, I have a long way to go.
I just took the first step.
From now on, you must all watch what you say and how you act.
Be careful and cautious.
Don't forget that people are watching.
I won't. I'll take extra care to not...
cause you any trouble.
Jeong Wook and I will do whatever we can...
to help you out.
Our shortcomings could become yours.
- I'll be careful. - I'll help where I can.
Okay. Thank you.
Let's eat.
I looked at a few houses with Jeong Shik after class today.
We didn't find any that we liked.
Don't try too hard. Settle with a reasonable place.
I can't do that. It's the house your family will live in.
I have to be very careful and picky.
I'm sorry to make you do what I should be doing.
It's not hard at all. It's fun.
Dad. I was just about to go downstairs.
That's okay. You can keep talking. Don't mind me at all.
He's changed.
Jeong Wook, don't you think he's acting a bit differently?
I'm not sure.
I think you're growing on him.
I hope so.
We'll take Chungil Flour.
We'll take it? How do you mean?
There is a way.
We'll mix lime powder into their flour.
Do you really think we can take over Chungil Flour that way?
Yes. Trust me.
Okay, then. I will.
Hello, Dal Ja.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Thanks for agreeing to see me.
Is there something on my face?
What? Oh, no.
Dal Ja, the moment I first saw you in the market,
you stole my heart.
Are you trying to say it was love at first sight?
Yes. I've never felt this way before.
Dal Ja. Will you marry me?
What? Marry you?
Yes. You're the angel I'd always dreamed about.
It's no coincidence that we met.
I was astonished to meet your brother again.
I guess I was destined to meet you.
Destined to?
Yes. You are my destiny.
If you agree, I want to...
marry you within the month.
Coincidence and destiny are all great,
but don't you think we need time to get to know each other first?
Marriage is too big a deal to rush.
Oh... Is it?
If that's what you want, then okay.
Let's get to know each other.
But let's keep it short so we can get married.
We can get to know each other after marriage as well.
What?
Did you sprinkle salt on the boiled cabbage?
Yes. Dal Ja did all that before she left.
She said she felt bad about leaving during work hours.
I don't mind that at all. I hope she brings good news.
Where did Dal Ja go?
To get something done.
Did she go to meet the relative of the hanbok store owner?
No, not him.
She went to meet someone else who seems to like her.
Someone else? Who's that?
Does he have a mole?
How do you know about that?
My goodness. They met at last.
"At last"? What do you mean?
He is Dal Ja's destiny.
You're home early.
Do you not visit Kkot Nim anymore?
Don't you dare mention her in front of me again.
I won't. Now, I'm not so sure if I should tell you this or not.
Tell me what?
Guess where Dal Ja is.
How would I know?
She's out to meet a man.
She met the man of her destiny.
What will you do once she gets married?
Why would I care?
I just hope you won't regret letting her go.
Don't be silly.
That won't happen in a million years.
Whether Dal Ja marries a man or a woman...
is none of my business.
You should never make assumptions in life.
Goodness.
Gosh.
Did you pick up the herbs?
Did you get lost?
No.
I thought you'd find the way because the store's close to the restaurant.
I forgot you don't know your way around Seoul.
I wondered if I'd sent you on an impossible errand.
The thing is, actually...
I'm home.
Welcome home.
What happened to you? Did you get hurt?
I bumped into something.
It's not the kind of wound you get from a bump.
Aren't you a bit too old to get into a fight?
I didn't. It's just a scratch.
You should've been more careful.
Put some ointment on so it doesn't leave a scar, okay?
Okay. Can I go upstairs?
Sure.
I'll go to my room as well.
You can clean up and go to bed.
Come in.
I got you this.
What's this?
Some medicine and a cream.
You should take pills so the cut doesn't fester.
Thank you.
I got you into trouble.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Kim.
I said I'm fine.
Oh, right.
Thanks for putting away my painting utensils.
And cleaning my room.
Don't mention it. It's my job.
Well...
That painting.
The one of the sea?
Yes, that one.
I like it a lot.
- Do you? - Yes.
I noticed that you drew the sea a lot.
Do you like it?
Yes. Do you like the sea?
Yes. The sea...
I like it a lot.
I talked too much. You must be tired.
No, I'm fine.
I'll go downstairs. Good night.
(Congressman Park Chang Seon)
(Certificate of Appointment)
Congratulations, Mr. Jung.
Thank you.
Everyone here knows very well how much...
you did for Incheon and its community.
It's nothing.
It's not nothing. We're all aware of your efforts.
I hope that the other heads of chapters will help Mr. Jung...
and work for the community and our party.
A short speech, Mr. Jung?
I will do anything I can for the party...
and the community.
I'll need your help.
Taesan Noodles.
I see. Did you ask around?
Yes. Okay, I'll see you there.
Bye.
Mr. Jung, congratulations on becoming the head of our chapter.
Thank you.
Did you have lunch, sir?
I did. Did you two get to eat?
Yes, we did.
Good. I'll leave you to work.
Hello?
Mr. Jung. I found a house in Seongbuk-dong...
that's about 330m².
Good. Well done.
Secretary Kim, it's me.
I have something urgent to discuss. Can we meet today?
How could you say that?
Mix limestone powder into our flour?
It's what you heard.
That's preposterous.
How could you think of such a horrible thing?
(The deed)
This is...
Your payment for helping me out.
The deed to a 330m² house in Seongbuk-dong.
I can't take this.
As an employee of Chungil Flour, I cannot do such a favor.
Secretary Kim.
I will tell you again. I won't do it.
You can't turn on me now.
We're already in the same boat.
What do you mean?
Are you threatening me?
That depends on what you do.
It could be a threat or a joint effort.
What will happen if Madam Cho hears what kind of person you are?
She'll find out?
I will tell her the truth...
of everything you are planning.
You won't get out of it unscathed.
I will pay the price for deceiving my employer.
But I believe she will be more interested in you than me.
Secretary Kim.
I will go to her right now and tell her about...
your two-faced treachery.
Secretary Kim. Secretary Kim.
Darn it.
Where were you? Do you know what just happened?
He won't be able to tell her.
This is...
Why are you coming out of that room?
Sook Hee. I'm really sorry!
10 times?
That's what he said.
Can Soo In go out for a while this afternoon?
Bye, Soo In.
What's wrong?
