(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
Mum.
(Episode 103)
You.
Don't underestimate me.
Ms Bae. You don't have to give this back.
If accepting this would mean that I'm forgiving you,
I absolutely cannot accept it.
This little amount of money isn't enough to console you, of course.
I was just hoping that it could help you out a little.
You should learn to...
accept kind gestures people offer you.
You became the president with the support from the executives,
but I guess you're anxious because things aren't going your way.
You're seriously unbelievable.
Excuse me.
- Poongildang. - Goodness.
I don't even want your apology for making me go missing as a kid.
Instead, let me ask you for a favour.
Apologise to my mum for breaking the trust she had for 30 years.
My mother is beating herself up thinking that this mess...
wouldn't have happened if she did a better job. It breaks my heart.
Bom, stop it.
Do you have to do this in front of the employees?
Do you think this will actually help Mum?
Gil Soo, let's go.
How humiliating!
Bom must be upset because of what my mum is going through.
I'll try to talk to her.
You should have done that a long time ago!
Father. Why did you do that to Ms Bae, by the way?
You should've tried to console her instead of giving her money.
Tae Ho, why are you talking like that to your father?
He's just trying to help your in-laws because he's worried.
Ah Ran, why doesn't your mum want to accept the money anyway?
I'll talk to my mum as well.
She has been dismissed. Tell her to come to terms with it.
And you. Make sure that things like this never happen again.
You should do a better job between the two families.
You know why I've given you another chance.
I just thought that, you're having such a rough time.
I thought that money would help us out for the time being.
It looks like Jung Ki...
accepted money from that man because he's worried about you.
You didn't have to go through all of that to return it to him.
How could I accept that money from him?
Why not?
You should be asking him for more money.
He wants to pay for what he has done by giving you money.
Grandma, he's not sincerely apologising for what he did.
He's giving us the money so he can feel better.
He wants to make sure that Mum stays away.
Who cares what his intentions are?
If that money can make our family happy, that's all that matters.
If you stubbornly reject the money,
would he recover your lost pride and honour for you?
Gosh, please stop being harsh on Mum.
Whether he apologises or not,
I'll focus on making authentic traditional wines at Poongildang...
and become successful so that I can bring Mum back.
How long will that take?
Goodness, both you and your mother are so impractical.
That's why we're in this mess right now.
No, it's all my fault.
Everything is my fault.
Gosh, what a mess.
Bom.
I brought various ehwaju products currently sold in the market.
I thought we should compare and analyse these first.
It's okay.
Hey, they say that you should know your enemy and yourself to win.
We should taste these products and see how they're different from ours.
You're a super-taster. Let's do this, please?
You had no idea that Jenny was taking you to Mr An's place.
I know what happened.
But what can I do? I'm still upset.
I'm also upset about what Mr An did to my mum today.
I heard about that.
When you're upset, I get upset, too.
From now on, I'll think about you first no matter what I do.
Hearing you say that makes me feel like I was being a baby.
I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable.
Let's get some work done.
Next, let's take a look at latest business news.
The traditional wine company,
Poongildang is hosting a winemaking competition.
With this competition, Poongildang will...
Poongildang hasn't been on the news for a long time.
I thought that jerk would make the company go deep down.
I didn't expect to see the internal competition on the news.
It looks like the new president is promoting the company well.
I want Poongildang to go under.
Poongildang shouldn't go under.
That's right.
If that company goes under, Tae Joon will lose his money, too.
I want the new president to go bankrupt.
By the way, if the company is all over the news like that,
that jerk will become more obnoxious, won't he?
He'll think that he's doing a great job.
I heard that you're getting so many interview requests.
Yes.
I heard that the story about our competition was on the news.
Didn't you work on promoting the competition to the media?
It just happened,
but people are getting excited about it, so make it a success.
All of a sudden, it has become a big project the media's after.
I want you two to think of this as an opportunity and do a good job.
We now have a clear reason to be the winner.
Regardless of the result, people's attention will be focused on...
our wines, so it will definitely help our sales.
Overall, it will affect the company positively in many aspects.
No. We will make sure to win this competition...
and attribute the glory to you.
The fact that your leadership is going strong...
and the fact that Tae Ho and I are by your side.
We need to let the entire world know.
Why are all those winemaking masters rejecting our offer?
I think it's because we upset Mr Kim in the past.
Everyone is so stupid and short-sighted.
This is the last winemaking master.
If he doesn't help us... Gosh, I'm worried.
Sir, we heard so much about your amazing jangsaengju,
so we came to see you first.
Please help us.
Look.
I have ears, too.
I heard Poongildang's new president humiliated the winemaking masters.
Well, the company apologised to them numerous times.
If we do well in the competition, we'll definitely reward you.
I'm not interested.
Sir, we can take care of this while you consider our offer.
- Please let me take it. - Gosh, you're...
Goodness.
Do we really have to do this?
We should try whatever we can to persuade him.
As you said, it's not like we can brew the wine by ourselves.
We'll need the winemaking master's help with every single step.
Gosh, seriously.
I will make sure that we shine at the competition.
Otherwise, all of this work will just go to waste.
Well, I told you that you should take a break.
Is this funny to you?
Oh, he is coming.
Thank you for your hard work.
Nothing else matters to me.
I'm accepting your request only to let people know about jangsaengju.
Here you are.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We'll honour your wish and let people know about this wine.
Hello.
I hope you don't mind me visiting you so often.
I don't mind it at all.
I hope your business goes well as much as you're enthusiastic...
so that my investment in this company...
is worth it.
Absolutely.
In return for the support from the shareholders and the executives,
I will make sure...
that we'll make a new leap forward through the winemaking competition.
I hear that your son and his wife will...
participate in the competition, as well.
That's right. They're putting in a lot of effort.
I have a suggestion.
Since your family members are competing, too,
you should avoid causing controversy about fairness.
It'd be better...
if you let all the employees...
decide the winner of the competition.
I understand.
I think that's a very good idea.
Gosh.
Hello. Is this parcel for you?
Yes, this is the parcel for me from the States.
Now that I've confirmed it, please bring it to my office.
Excuse me. Wait a second.
I am sorry,
but running errands isn't security guards' responsibility.
I know that. I'm asking you a favour.
I can't carry this box in my fancy outfit.
I'm telling you again. We don't provide that kind of service.
- Bae Dal. - Poongildang.
Tae Joon.
What is the problem?
What made such a pretty lady like yourself upset?
Who is this man?
Forget it. I won't ask you again.
You said you couldn't do me such a small favour.
Shouldn't you stop a hawker like him from walking into this building?
You are out of line.
Did you just call him hawker?
It's okay. Calm down.
- He looks so shabby. - What?
Shabby? Hey!
Just let her go.
Mum, you have a visitor.
Hello, I'm Jenny Song. I'm a friend of Ma Ru's.
You're Ma Ru's friend? What brings you here?
I wanted to meet his parents.
I baked this pecan pie myself.
Oh, wow.
I don't know what a pecan pie is, but...
You said you baked this yourself. Why is there a price tag on it?
It was a joke.
It wouldn't matter as long as you enjoy the pie, Mother.
I understand that you're Ma Ru's friend, but don't call me Mother.
That's just annoying.
I can sense what you're up to.
Are you trying to win Ma Ru's heart?
Ma Ru is going to get married to my sister.
They have already set the date.
Is Ma Ru engaged?
He's too young to get married. What's the rush?
If that's all you have to say, please leave now. I'm busy.
Wait, Mother.
I will...
I heard a lot about you from Ma Ru.
What did he say?
Well, he said... You're generous and close to him.
- If you could help me... - Stop it.
I know you just made that up.
I was harsh on Ma Ru so many times,
and he and I are still awkward around each other.
Is that so?
You'll need to find a way to become close to him anyway.
I will help you to bond with him.
Apparently, you and Ma Ru aren't close friends.
Oh, right. Watch the bar until I come back.
Ma Ru, what are you doing here?
That's what I was about to ask you. What are you doing here?
I'm here to see your parents,
and spend some time with you.
Ma Ru, I am here...
Here is the sample.
Ms Song, what brings you to my mum's bar?
I'm here to see Ma Ru's parents.
I visited his house,
and his mother asked me to stay for dinner.
By the way, are you two really getting married?
Is it serious?
What do you mean by that?
It's good timing. Our wedding invitations were delivered today.
I hope you could come to congratulate us.
(Kang Ma Ru and Choi Bom's wedding invitation)
I will see you at work.
Please tell your mother that I will visit her again.
I didn't know Jenny would come to my house.
Be careful not to give her any wrong ideas.
Hi, is this the wedding hall?
I've booked for a wedding ceremony.
And I would like to cancel it.
The groom's name is Kang Ma Ru.
And I am...
Yes, that's correct.
Thank you.
I came all the way to Korea for him.
I can't let you marry another girl.
Oh, dear.
I wonder where Jung Ki slept last night.
Gook Hee kicked him out cold-heartedly.
Don't worry about Jung Ki.
Don't go to work any more. Just hang out with your friends.
I gave it a lot of thoughts.
It's not fair. I can't let it go like this.
I don't know who ordered to fire me,
but I will go back there to get my severance pay.
Mum, no.
You worked there only for a week as a day labourer.
There's no way you'll get severance pay.
A week is a long time.
For old people like me, a week is like a year to young people.
Ms Kim, you are home.
She was making a fuss saying she'd get severance pay.
Oh, gosh. Ms Kim, you should let it go.
I will give you some pocket money to cheer you up.
Bae Dal, stop showing it.
Did I do that again?
What are you two...
- keep talking about? - Pardon?
Take it back.
You earned that money by working as a security guard.
I don't want to take it.
- Ms Kim... - Mum.
Excuse me.
Are you asleep?
Even though he's the owner,
I can't let him get away with not paying me what I deserve.
Come on! Wake up!
My goodness.
Gosh.
- Who are you? - Oh, my.
Why are you here? What are you doing here?
Oh, my. What are you doing here?
Gosh. I told you.
I worked so hard on cleaning the building.
But they fired me without paying me any consolation money.
So I came here to complain to him.
Are you saying that you worked here as a cleaner?
Gosh.
Why are you...
Let me look at you.
Oh, my.
Have you been working here as a security guard?
Have you?
My goodness.
Gook Hee didn't even know what her husband was doing.
She just kicked him out because he accepted the money.
How can you read a book?
Aren't you even worried about your husband?
What is the problem?
Pride won't pay the bills. How could you kick Jung Ki out...
just because he took some money from our enemy?
I didn't kick him out.
And you should know what he did.
He degraded the whole family.
You can't even take care of your own husband.
- You don't deserve to be proud. - Mother.
- Mum. - Please stop scolding her.
It's all because I can't take care of my family.
I'll ask you this to prevent the same thing from happening again.
I think we shouldn't get involved with that family any more.
Look at her. She doesn't even pretend to listen to me.
Look how she cuts me off and says what she wants to say.
Gosh, that's enough.
Jung Ki is saying he's sorry.
Gosh, why is my belly feeling tight, by the way?
I should go home and lie down.
Listen, Bae Dal.
I'm so angry right now. Why are you telling me to come over?
That's right. What am I going to do with all this money?
Hiding it from my family...
and being all selfish won't make me happy at all.
They say that sharing brings happiness.
I'll share this money with my family. Yes!
Gosh, what is the matter? Why did you want...
everyone to gather here at this hour?
What's going on? Did you really get yourself into trouble? Yes?
Did you get fired from Poongildang?
All right, everyone. Well...
I have an important announcement to make.
Actually,
- I bought a lottery... - Gosh.
No! No.
Bae Dal, what are you doing now?
Darling, listen.
Let's be happy together with our family.
I... I won...
I won the lottery.
How much? About five dollars?
Or 50 dollars?
Jung Ki. Did you say five dollars?
Take a look at it yourself.
Here. I hit the jackpot.
Gosh. Unbelievable!
Oh my gosh, you're right. All of the six digits match exactly!
I can't believe this! Gosh, Bae Dal!
My brother!
I now feel rewarded for raising you like my son since you were 15.
- Gosh, my brother! - Goodness, stop it.
My gosh, what do we do now?
What?
I still can't believe it!
- Bae Dal. - Yes!
I was going to repay your kindness as soon as I get that money.
We spent your rent deposit because of the accident...
No.
I'll give you half of the money.
No! Listen, Bae Dal. That's way too much.
Well, Gook Hee.
You're not taking Bae Dal's words seriously, right?
- We're here. - We're here.
Hi, guys.
Bom and Ma Ru.
I'll send you to Europe for your honeymoon.
Pardon? What do you mean?
Well, he saw this.
Bae Dal. I'm sorry, but I think this is from a different time.
What? What do you mean by that?
The lottery ticket is for the 679th game,
but these winning digits on this newspaper are for the 677th game.
No way. That's not possible.
Gosh. That's impossible, Ma Ru.
- It's 677... - Oh no!
- Goodness! I can't believe this! - No...
- Hey, Bae Dal. - No...
- No. No! - Hey.
- No. - Gosh.
I've done the same thing in the past.
Wake up now already.
- This is devastating. - Gosh.
- Wow, look at the gorgeous colour. - Exactly.
It smells amazing, too.
All right.
Here you go.
Is this ehwasongju?
Its sweet and smooth taste reminds me of ehwaju.
But the consistency isn't thick, and it tastes light.
It goes down so smoothly.
I also love the subtle pine aroma that lingers.
Well, you're very generous with your compliments.
I'll gladly accept them.
Thank you for your kind words.
Then which one of these will you be submitting to the competition?
These are just samples with different pine scent levels.
The one we'll submit is being brewed at home right now.
I see. That's great. You two are doing such a good job.
- All of you are working so hard. - Gosh.
- Good morning, Sir. - Yes.
I guess you're submitting this wine to the competition?
Yes. I'm doing my best for Poongildang.
Good. You should do you best.
Have a good day.
Well, Mr An...
- Gil Soo. - Father.
The submission deadline is tomorrow.
How is everything coming along?
We'll be collaborating with a master who is famous for his jangsaengju...
Darn it.
Gosh, I was stupid to announce that I'd let you two, who have no idea...
about winemaking, participate in the competition.
You two obviously have no talent in developing traditional wines.
But if we collaborate with winemaking masters...
- and encourage them to brew... - Forget it.
Bom is...
working on brewing ehwasongju which Ms Bae tried making in the past.
She is coming at us as if she will take over Poongildang.
You cannot let her win.
You two should prove to all employees that you're not...
inexperienced novices who just sit at your desk all the time.
You have to do whatever it takes.
They have to do whatever it takes?
What do you mean by that?
Mr An.
What do you think you are doing?
I came to ask you to judge the competition fairly.
Everyone is talking about fairness.
Do I look like someone who will damage my own company?
I'm worried that you'd make another wrong decision...
for your personal gain.
Look.
I've been just watching you, and you're getting a bit out of control.
This kind of behaviour could...
get you fired according to the employee code of conduct.
This isn't being confident. You're breaching the hierarchy.
I'm just asking you for a favour.
Then you should be politer!
You can't have this kind of attitude.
Then I'll say one last thing before I go.
If I win the competition, could you...
give my mother an opportunity to research at Poongildang again?
We definitely need her help at the research laboratory.
- And the development team also... - You said what you had to say,
so I'll say one thing, too.
Sure, fine.
If you win the competition, I'll grant your wish.
Instead, if you don't win,
you must leave Poongildang.
Our relationship has gone beyond sour, so working...
in the same company isn't good for any of us.
If I don't win, you'll get rid of me anyway because I'll be useless.
Bom has gotten pretty fearless.
She's saying she will blame me either way.
Right.
A lot has happened, so I'm sure she has learnt a lot.
Yes.
My life has become so much easier after you started working here,
but I feel bad because you shouldn't be working at a place like this.
Well, working here makes me feel at peace.
Please don't worry.
Thank you for saying that.
By the way, I hope Bom and Ma Ru...
do well in that winemaking competition at Poongildang.
That way, they'll be able to teach those jerks a lesson.
That's right.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Did something good happen today?
No.
This jangsaengju is pretty good.
I think that we could target the luxury market with it, too.
We'd like to come up with the plan after the competition.
Think that you've passed the competition...
and come up with an effective marketing strategy for it.
Then are you saying that you'll make them win the competition?
How could I do such a thing? That's nonsense.
Everything about the competition will be out in the open.
I'm sure the judges will make the right decision.
Of course.
But if you could support us...
so that people will be in favour of our wine, we'll feel so encouraged.
That's right.
You should help them out.
Tae Ho must shine at this competition.
Ah Ran, as a supportive wife,
you should step back for Tae Ho...
so that he stands out and takes the credit. You know that, right?
All right. In hopes for your success in the competition,
let's make a toast.
- Okay. Cheers. - Cheers.
My goodness.
What's all this mess?
My goodness. I've been robbed.
What happened?
I've been robbed.
Who would rob a small bar like this?
Oh, my.
Oh, no.
There's nothing to steal in here.
What happened to the wine?
What kind of thief made such a mess without stealing anything?
What should we do?
Bom and Ma Ru have to submit this wine today.
- Mum. - Ms Bae.
Oh, no. What happened?
- What should we do about the wine? - Goodness.
I'm sure someone did this on purpose.
Did you happen to leave any samples at the laboratory?
I only left ehwaju there.
I brought all our ehwasongju here.
He must have been willing to do anything to steal your chances.
Let's figure something out.
There must be a way.
There's no wine left. What can we do?
Ehwasongju is basically a variation of a traditional wine.
We don't have to follow the traditional recipe.
There must be a way to make it otherwise.
We put in pine needles and shoots before fermenting ehwaju.
But we don't have enough time to do that.
I think we could add the scent of pine to the ehwaju we made.
How will you add the scent?
I'm considering to add the extract of pine shoots.
I can get that for you.
I heard that one of our neighbours...
picked some pine shoots for her husband. I'll go get some.
Good.
Once she gets the pine shoots, I'll boil them.
You know I made herbal medicine for your father so many times.
Where is the pot?
I'll go to your laboratory and bring our ehwaju.
There are times in life when you face problems.
Let's all work together to turn this crisis...
into an opportunity.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Let me know if there's anything I can do.
I'll do anything unless it costs money.
I'll do anything to help you, too, unless it costs money.
Thank you, everyone. I will pull this off.
As if I'm making medicine to cure someone,
I will make the extract of this pine shoot...
to help Bom win the competition.
Bom said that we should be careful when we clean this.
Don't worry.
I'm wiping them very carefully...
as if I'm washing my customer's hair.
Have some snacks, everyone.
Are you wearing an apron in this house, too?
We need to eat to boost our energy, so we can help Bom and Ma Ru.
Mother, here you go.
Oh, gosh.
Try this.
I am going to Bar Chowon to deliver the snack.
He is my son, but I can't stop him in this situation.
Is preparing for the competition going well?
We are here to taste Bom's wine.
You and Bom worked hard.
Let's compete fair and square.
You two or Mr An must be responsible for what happened last night.
What do you mean?
We don't have much time before the deadline.
Should I ask Bae Dal to stall for time?
He could lie down on the floor...
at the lobby in protest to stop the competition from closing.
They wouldn't change the time just because he nags.
Why don't you nag them to give you the lottery prize money?
Ga Eul, don't pour salt on her wound.
If we succeed, it'll be a new type of ehwasongju...
and become popular to young people unlike other traditional wines.
I've been caught up in traditional recipes.
But I think your way of brewing traditional wines...
could help to attract people in various age groups.
When is Ma Ru coming?
- Here's ehwaju. - Oh, good.
This is it. The second batch.
The scent is not too strong.
It's perfectly balanced.
- Your wine has been submitted. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You are here.
This is our jangsaengju. Please take care of it.
Nice.
I have high expectation on the wine made by a married couple.
Has Bom submitted hers?
Bom? I don't know.
She hasn't submitted hers yet.
She isn't answering her phone. I'm worried.
She's running out of time.
Thank you for your help.
Time is almost up.
Shall we wrap it up?
Is there an accident or something?
Why is the traffic so bad?
We might miss the deadline.
We will run from here.
Are you sure?
It might be faster.
Be careful.
- We will. - Okay.
Be careful.
Are you okay?
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
