(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
Why is the door open?
It's better than sleeping outdoors.
What are you doing here?
What were you mumbling?
I wasn't mumbling.
Why are you here?
What?
Oh, I was...
I was worried about the lost ring.
It got to me, that's why.
I have to look for it.
Why did you have...
someone else's ring anyway?
Ga Eul is a troublemaker, but you know...
she wouldn't take what isn't hers, right?
I know. I was just really upset earlier.
Hey. Did you hear that?
Hear what?
You want me to sleep here?
What's this smell?
I'll reek by tomorrow.
That's the least of your problems.
Stop whining like a child.
How long do we have to live like this?
I don't want to live in such a grotty place.
Then do whatever you want!
Stop it. Don't yell at her.
See? I heard something.
I heard nothing of the sort!
Go home and go to bed.
You always say your legs hurt.
From now on I'll help Uncle clean up,
so you can go home when the dinner rush is over.
You don't know what to do.
Come on...
Go home, will you?
Why don't you come with me? We can clean up tomorrow.
Let me do it.
Am I hearing things?
What got into her this time?
I wanted to mention the debt,
but I couldn't get a word in.
Then what about my ballet class?
I can't continue ballet or graduate from college.
Do you know how I feel?
I feel like a beggar.
Actually, I feel worse than a beggar.
I had nothing to eat and I have nowhere to sleep!
I even got kicked out...
It's not just you.
We're all struggling.
Dad's struggling,
and I did manual labour for the first time.
Crying won't help.
Are you trying to lecture me?
This sucks.
I hate him.
Is the room warm enough?
Yes, thanks.
Well...
I was hoping you could be a little more careful.
I wasn't able to tell my mum that I let you stay in that room.
Oh... I see.
I shouldn't have imposed on you.
That's not what I meant.
I just need you to be a little more quiet.
Sorry.
There's no need to apologise.
Your sister seems quite upset. Try to comfort her.
She seemed young.
She's always been like that.
Thanks for the help, but don't get too nosy.
I'm sorry if I crossed the line,
but I was worried for you.
Do you always worry about other people?
Now that I think about it,
you took my ring and caused us trouble when we first met,
and talked about a girlfriend...
and then took the ring again.
Do you always do as you please?
I was trying to look out for you.
Just don't.
Thanks for helping us out,
but I'd like my ring back now.
We'll leave right away.
The thing is, that ring...
I actually lost it.
You... lost it?
How could you?
Do you know what ring that is?
- It's... - I'll pay you back.
It was a mistake and you can't give it to your girlfriend anyway.
Look!
That ring...
was my mother's keepsake.
A... keepsake?
I don't care what you do.
I just want it back.
(Poongildang)
Were you here all night?
That comment from the meeting.
About last quarter's failure.
How about tweaking it for a release?
Ah Ran.
You have to close the China deal.
There's no need to rush.
Everyone in the company knows that you scored the China deal.
Won't it look silly if I work on it?
I want you to be more cautious.
You know reviving a dead product is much harder than a new project.
Why are you so impatient?
Do you really not know?
I am nothing other than the CEO's daughter.
The executives and staff say that's why I'm here.
No one says that about you.
You don't know what you're saying.
I'm not like you.
I'm never judged on competence alone.
However well I do, it's never enough.
That's why dead Pa Ran still haunts me.
Ah Ran.
If you really care for me,
do what you can to help me...
work on this project.
- Stop it. - Do you like seeing people mock me?
Will that make you look better?
Are you trying to replace me to gain something for yourself?
Is that why you proposed?
- Ah Ran, how... - Forget it.
Get out.
If you can't help, stay out of it.
Tae Ho, I...
Why are we back on a failure?
What good will it do?
My dark circles are down to my chin.
What a state.
The mighty Director Choi showed some interest, that's why.
Do we have to do...
anything the princess says?
You asked for statistics on alcohol intake per age group.
- Leave it there. - This says... Yes, sir.
Is something wrong?
You're at work early.
We didn't come in early.
We didn't go home last night.
Did you have a pressing project?
The marketing plan for last quarter's failed new idea.
Let's talk outside.
This is just too much.
Why didn't you tell me...
you were working on it?
I didn't have enough to tell you about.
This is why you make me look bad.
Why do you do this?
You should've told me.
Do you ever listen to what I say?
When did I ever ignore you?
Forget it.
I'll drop it, as you wish.
Do you want everything we have so far?
Why are you being so childish?
Let go.
Don't do this.
You know you are all I have.
Do you know how lonely I am...
at home and at work?
That's why I'm trying so hard.
Is that why you're hurting me with such harsh words?
Does it make you happy?
Please, don't do it to me again.
Even if she's the lady of the house,
how dare she ignore her mother-in-law...
who's wiping the floor.
You don't have...
a kind bone in your body.
What is she planning?
To stay here forever?
Once you have food in your belly,
even your enemies are more tolerable.
Eul Nyun.
You silly thing.
I have no use for you,
and I doubt anyone will take you.
Get up, will you?
Give me five more minutes.
How can you sleep in?
Don't you feel the heat?
What heat?
Get up right now.
Go to Gook Hee...
and try to earn some brownie points.
Mum.
Your plan is bound to fail.
The harder we try to appease her,
the more she will just hate us.
It's best to pretend we aren't even around,
until the time comes for us to do good.
You think?
You bet.
I bet you're right.
You're quite the schemer which means...
your degree wasn't all a waste.
All those hours of studying...
must have left a dent in your thick skull.
Don't go around...
stirring things up...
and causing trouble.
Unless it's to eat or use the toilet,
stay in this room and do nothing else.
Okay?
I need to sleep.
The secretary said you were here all night.
Here.
We analysed why last quarter's new product was a failure.
Didn't we agree to move on?
Mum, I really want to do this.
I can do it. I'm sure I can.
It's not as much a stretch as you think.
The board of executives decided against it.
You can't do what you want,
or shun duties you want to avoid.
You're not ready to...
work on a new release.
Don't start something you might ruin.
Why am I here...
if you don't trust me?
I joined the company...
because I dreamed of making it bigger.
You're crushing my dream.
- Ah Ran. - Look over the proposal.
Thanks for letting us stay.
I'll call you.
Ji Ah, move over there.
The room's a mess anyway.
Just do it roughly.
Where will we end up next?
Dad!
That stinks.
My bag...
Dad.
What a mess...
Perfect.
What's a young woman going through that for?
I looked for the ring all night...
but I couldn't find it.
I'll find it, I promise.
And if I can't,
I will pay you back.
Oh...
It's not about the money, is it?
It's your mother's keepsake.
I'll do what I can...
to find you an identical one.
Do what you can to find it first.
We can talk again.
Last night I was...
to hard on you.
You weren't. I should apologise.
I wasn't angry with you, to be honest.
I'm going through a lot now, with the house and things.
I think I went too far as well because...
life has been tough for me, too.
I apologise.
We saw the worst side of each other.
I don't know how it'll work out,
but at least say hi next time.
How about...
we just be friends?
Sure.
Thanks for putting us up.
Stay for breakfast.
It's so clean.
Sometimes I hate the girl, but sometimes I pity her.
I don't know how I feel.
I thought I told Bae Dal...
to get the sauce from the storage.
He never does as he's told.
Are you back?
Who are you?
Hey. Hey.
Don't kill me.
Thief!
Don't hurt me.
I'm not a thief.
Wait, hear me out. I can explain.
You pervert.
What are you doing here in your underwear?
I'm not doing anything!
Get this pervert!
There's a pervert here!
Please.
Hear me out first.
Get lost before I call the police.
Oh dear...
Mum!
They're here because I let them in.
You let them stay...
without telling me?
Have you lost your mind?
I'm really sorry. We actually...
I'm really sorry. I'll apologise instead.
It's all my fault.
This isn't why I brought you here.
Look at you.
You let stragglers sleep and eat here?
You're no Mother Teresa.
What a joke.
What? What did you say?
Who's the straggler?
You're bragging about letting us stay in that stinky room?
You're the joke.
How dare you talk to me like that.
Mum, you don't know what you're talking about.
I owe them a lot.
Like what?
The lost ring.
It was his wife's.
So you let them stay here?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
It's a really expensive ring.
They'll be staying here...
until I find it.
You don't have to...
That or I pay them back right now.
How will you do that?
With what money?
That's why I let them stay, because I don't have the money.
Forget all that. I want the ring's worth in cash.
Or we'll go to the police.
Ji Ah, be quiet.
I'm not being unreasonable. That ring means a lot.
I'm not going anywhere until we get the ring back.
What... What a freak.
Cheer up.
Soo Ho, my dear son.
Calm down before you end up in the hospital again.
My poor baby.
Why hasn't he called us yet?
Go to bed.
- Lie down. - My baby...
Do you I caused this?
I should've let him do what he wanted.
Get up and eat this.
- Honey. - No.
Come on, try and eat something.
You need to be strong.
How do you expect me to eat?
I don't want to eat.
Will you stop being mopey?
How can I eat when we don't know if Soo Ho's alive or dead?
He means so much to me.
You were always cold and indifferent to me.
So was Tae Ho,
your eldest and smart son.
Soo Ho was all I had.
He was frail as a child so I loved him extra.
He called almost every other day from Canada to say he missed me.
And now he's gone without a trace.
You're overreacting.
When did he ever do as he was told?
If he came back without telling us,
he's obviously spending time with musicians somewhere.
He's your son.
We can find him in half a day.
Eat this.
Come on.
I won't eat anything until you find my son.
Why you...
I was surprised at your mum.
I don't usually lose a fight,
but she's really something.
She thinks I'm after your money.
Sorry about that.
But this happened because you took my guitar case.
You asked me to take care of it.
You took it and ran.
I did not. I kept it safe.
I don't want to get involved at all,
but let's hear how this started.
That way I can decide whom I can get the money from.
Actually,
Mum sent me to Canada to study...
It was more like exile.
I snuck back.
My brother's nearly done with his degree,
but he can't afford to go abroad.
Forget it.
Who is going to pay for the guitar case?
And do you know how much public transport costs these days?
I'll pay you for that.
But not now.
I'll pay you after I succeed as a singer.
A street busker wants to succeed?
The pigeons would laugh at you.
You wouldn't know,
but I reached the second round of a singing audition before.
I can reach the finals if I can get a new guitar,
but I don't have the money which is 2,000 dollars.
That's all I need...
to come first in the audition,
and go home in the sports car they give as the prize.
And of course I'll pay you back.
You want 2,000 dollars when you can't even afford a bowl of noodles?
Give up on your pipe dream and go home.
Other parents would be...
glad to support their children.
Not mine, though.
They don't know things are changing.
I don't care.
You're going home to beg for forgiveness.
And to pay me back.
You owe me a lot.
My mum is my only source of money.
She is.
You scared me.
If you will help me,
I think I can get her to pay up.
If I get the money from my mum...
how about we split it six-to-four?
You need cash, too.
Who gets six?
That depends on...
how things go.
The land and buildings in the deceased's name...
were put up as collateral,
and the shares and facilities of the construction company...
are being sold off.
You're still left with about 16 million dollars in debt.
Kang Ma Ru, the deceased's son has to decide...
whether to inherit the debt.
- Thank you. - Come again.
Gosh...
It's tough as it is,
and she's left with a debt now, too.
Will you stop?
I've heard enough about that.
If I can't pay off that debt,
we might end up homeless.
You come straight in...
as soon as our last customer left.
Are you that clueless or shameless?
- Who is he? - I told you.
Bom let some fools...
stay in our storage room.
Oh...
"Oh..."?
You idiot.
I'm Lee Bae Dal, manager of sales.
I heard your story.
I'm kind of leeching off as well.
Consider this place your other home,
and settle in.
And this lady is always mean.
If she says something hurtful,
let it out the other ear.
Shut up and clean up.
I will clean up for you.
You don't have to,
but if you insist,
then you can use this tray.
Go on ahead.
Hurry up.
Get the plates.
And the others.
There's no point in stressing out.
Bom has to inherit the debt.
She has no other choice.
You're not upsetting the people I let in, are you?
They aren't staying for free.
The ring I lost cost a fortune.
Forget about them.
What about this?
You said we can sort it out legally.
I thought so, too.
But if we don't pay that back,
we might lose the house and bar.
You said you could renounce the inheritance.
Do you want me to give up the house and bar?
It's our livelihood.
What do you want me to do?
I thought long and hard about this.
I need to work just to feed and clothe the family.
- Inherit the debt. - Mum.
There's no way I can pay all this off.
I don't expect you to.
Just take it on legally in your name.
We can both work to pay it off.
I'm only 22.
I spent half my life being worried about...
the debt we had.
And there's more?
I'm sick of being in debt.
Blame your dad for dying and leaving us with it.
Forget it. I don't care.
Give up the house.
We have nothing anyway. We can start over.
Rather than take on this debt,
I'd give it all up and start afresh.
Bom, where are you going?
Hey!
Oh no...
This might not work.
Hey.
You're back.
Hi.
Sorry I took my time.
You gave us a place to stay...
and I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you.
Don't thank me.
I feel bad that...
you're in this situation because I stuck my nose in your business.
Don't say that.
I imposed myself on you, a complete stranger.
I will repay you for this one day.
Would you like a drink?
Not really.
I feel like it.
Instead of saying I'm being rude,
share just one bowl with me.
Okay, then. Just one bowl.
For this time alone,
may we forget our troubles,
and have only happy thoughts.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
I bet you think...
I'm such a loser.
Don't I seem like such a useless father?
Don't say that.
You at least are trying to protect your children.
But am I really protecting them?
I think I'm dragging them down.
After my wife died,
we got thrown out of the house we lived in.
Both my kids lived privileged lives until now,
and they're struggling now because I'm so useless.
I can't even look them in the eye.
Your son won't think like that.
I can't even support them.
What father is that?
But at least you're together.
You have that at least.
Yes, we do.
It would be pointless to struggle through without them.
They're the reason...
I'm still hanging on.
I'm so sorry.
I said too much.
Hello.
Hello?
Be careful.
What am I going to do with this debt?
Even if we put in a third of our monthly income,
it'll take us over 30 years.
I'll be 50 by then.
Why are you doing that in ice-cold water?
Bom, whatever your mum says,
if you can't, say no.
Don't just think about us.
Put yourself first.
You're too young for this.
Life is short.
I know. I wonder why I'm so stressed.
I want to be better-off.
Why is that all you're eating?
Are you trying to look pitiful?
So I'll inherit the debt?
I starved the whole day...
and finally got to eat,
and you say that?
You cold-hearted wench.
I raised her...
only because of her dad.
We don't even know who her mum is,
and she thinks she's better than me?
Should I tell her to pay for raising her and send her off?
Mum.
Must we fight?
Money is all you talk about since Dad died.
I know we're struggling and could do with more,
but this is too much.
Can't we talk about...
the good old days,
and the memories...
of Dad?
Can you act like you miss him?
Miss him?
All your dad left us with is that debt.
I'm annoyed as it is.
It's dragging me down.
I only took you in for his sake.
That again?
Is it my fault I'm your daughter?
You're not my daughter.
What do you mean by that?
