(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 104)
Ma Ru. Go without me. Hurry.
Okay.
Gosh, where are they...
I was going to wait longer for Bom,
but it doesn't look like she's coming. Maybe she's given up.
Let's wrap it up here and prepare for the tasting.
Why don't we wait a little longer?
Please wait! We're here!
Ma Ru!
Hurry, hurry up!
We'd like to register for the competition.
I'm so happy you could make it.
- Kang Ma Ru. - Choi Bom.
We'll enter the competition with our ehwasongju.
- I'm glad you could make it. - Are you doing this on purpose?
How could you come right before the closing time?
Thank you for waiting for us.
Gosh, I'm so glad.
Goodness.
How did they make it here?
If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to make it.
I felt like you were doing all the work. I'm glad I could help.
I didn't brew this by myself.
You found the ingredients and checked the batch every morning.
You also had to stir it regularly.
Without those things you did, our ehwasongju wouldn't have been made.
Gosh, you don't have time to be lovey dovey now. You're in trouble.
Go to the lobby right now.
Your wine. Gosh, it's...
Mr An.
You're here quite often these days.
I know, right?
I injured my legs, but I can't even rest.
We had a thief at our bar yesterday,
and the wine Ma Ru and Bom made got completely ruined.
Is that right?
But it looks like they're participating in the competition.
Yes, it's lucky that they were able to do so.
Otherwise, I would have had to...
teach someone a lesson with my fist.
Oh no.
You shouldn't use your fist carelessly.
I'll be watching you.
I'll be watching if you're actually going to...
carry out this competition in a fair manner.
Darn it.
You said you took care of it.
How were they able to enter the competition, then?
Goodness. You can't just say that you don't know!
Father.
Listen, you two. Are you confident about this competition?
We'll do our best.
That's not what I want to hear. You must do a good job!
Don't make me plot something like this for you anymore.
It's a competition, so we should be fair and accept the result.
Regardless of whose wine gets chosen,
- it'll be for Poongildang, so... - Tae Ho.
That's not what Gil Soo is talking about now.
We must do well in the competition and give credit to Gil Soo.
That way, Gil Soo will be able to solidify and secure his position...
in the company.
Enough!
Leave. Get out!
(Ehwasongju)
(Jangsaengju)
(Ehwasongju)
Look, look!
You're in trouble.
The wine you brewed is way too popular.
I sneaked in and voted for you twice.
You can't do that. It has to be fair.
Whatever. You're such a stuck up.
I was just kidding.
Bom's wine and Ms Choi's wine are running neck to neck.
I have no idea who will win.
Winning here doesn't mean that we'll win the competition.
We still have to go through the final round.
Hello.
(Ehwasongju, Choi Bom and Kang Ma Ru)
Please give us your honest opinion.
Oh, this isn't number one.
Right, it's over there.
(Jangsaengju, Choi Ah Ran and An Tae Ho)
Poongildang.
Access to this area is restricted.
Bom, shouldn't you be doing something, too?
Ms Choi is Mr An's daughter-in-law, so everyone is buttering her up.
I have great supporters like you.
I'm not scared of the fact that Mr An got their back.
Thanks to all of you,
Ma Ru and Bom were able to enter the competition.
It went well because everyone helped out.
It wouldn't have been possible without Ms Bae.
How were you able to stay so calm in that situation?
I don't get it.
Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to do anything.
Gosh, stop it.
You two are acting like best friends now.
If you're like this now, you might feel so awkward...
when you have to discuss wedding gifts for your kids' wedding later.
Gosh, why do we need such things for their wedding?
Ma Ru is the first child to get married in our family,
so I want his wedding to be a good one.
I think we should exchange as much wedding gifts as other families do.
You see! I knew she'd say these things.
Well, today is a happy day.
Let's not talk about anything stressful.
Everyone, let's make a toast.
- Cheers! - I feel weird...
thinking that Bom will be married soon.
Let's drink some other time.
Well, everyone did a good job today.
Thank you.
The thought of our lottery ticket came to my mind out of the blue,
and it's depressing me.
We'll have to stay up to make a proposal for our new ehwasongju.
You've been working so hard.
Regardless of the result, preparing for the competition with you...
will be one of the most memorable memories before our wedding, right?
I said that the process is more important than the result,
but I'm nervous, to be honest. I wonder what the result will be.
I said a few things to Mr An, so...
Did he say something to you again?
No, no. What was I saying?
Bom, had you not entered the competition,
we wouldn't have to go through this again.
Choi Ah Ran.
Tae Ho.
We said that we'd do our best and accept the result.
What did I do?
What is wrong with you?
What were you trying to do with this?
What do you think?
I was going to move the votes from Bom's box to ours.
I'm the worst daughter in the world who kicked...
her mum out of the company and is helping the man who betrayed her.
This is nothing. This isn't a big deal at all!
I really don't know how we ended up in this situation.
He is the president of Poongildang,
but he is so upright and by the book,
so our house is modest and simple as you can see.
Our life isn't so different from other people.
Rather than for me and my wife,
I ask you for your generous support to Poongildang,
and my loving son and his wife.
There are rumours that my father-in-law and I conspired...
to kick out my mother, who is the former president.
I don't think that's fair.
He made the decision to give my mother some time to rest,
considering her health condition.
He's been wrongfully accused.
Please stop taking photos now.
You must know well about Poongildang's...
wine making competition. Don't you?
My son and his wife submitted their wine.
They've already received rave reviews.
Please, stop it. You're exaggerating.
Was I?
I'll be in the kitchen just for a while.
Jenny, I heard you'd been chosen as the host of the competition,
and you have access to the conference room.
I have a favour to ask you.
Please switch Bom's presentation material with this.
Why don't you do a childish thing like this by yourself?
I don't care who wins the competition.
Jenny, you know I wouldn't ask you a favour like this for nothing.
If you do me this favour, I will help you with what you want.
You said you wanted to be with Ma Ru, right?
I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said.
Think about it.
Bom and Ma Ru will get married soon.
And you will have no chance.
I can do something to help you right now.
(The Proposal for Ehwasongju, by Choi Bom and Kang Ma Ru)
I don't need to do this to win Ma Ru's heart.
What did you mean?
Is it true that Ms Choi asked you to switch Bom's proposal?
You rejected me every time I asked you to have a drink with me.
But you came here so fast once I told you that.
Did you lie to me?
I'm getting married.
It's true that we were good friends back in the States.
But you've been acting really...
I didn't lie to you. Ah Ran really made me do it.
But I didn't do it for your sake.
Go in and see for yourself.
Check if Ma Ru is in Jenny's hotel room.
Why are you doing this to me?
You don't have to try and break us up.
Although we had some conflicts, you're still my sister.
I can't sit back and watch someone take your boyfriend away from you.
That can't be true.
You are so silly.
Come on. Let's go and see if it's true or not.
Jenny, I am sorry to bother you at such a late hour.
Ma Ru.
Jenny called me over to show me this.
She said that Ms Choi had asked her...
- to switch our proposal with... - Stop it.
I don't want to hear your excuses.
Why are you in her room?
Had I known you'd react this way, I wouldn't have told the truth.
Ma Ru was only worried about you.
But you don't seem to trust him.
That's enough, Jenny.
Ms Choi set it all up.
She told Jenny to switch our proposal with this.
She said that she'd get me fired and put me in trouble,
if I didn't do as she told me to do.
But I couldn't put Ma Ru in trouble.
I should protect Ma Ru.
We shouldn't let our guard down until the presentation.
Why would she do this?
We invited you to breakfast...
to cheer Bom and Ma Ru up for their presentation today.
What's going on? Why are you making so much noise?
Did you sleep here again?
Ms Lee must be uncomfortable. Please sleep in our house.
I feel more comfortable here rather than walking on eggshells.
And I easily fall asleep here as if it's my own room.
Because you snore so loudly,
- I couldn't sleep at all. - Let's sit down.
Oh, right. Today is the final round of the competition, right?
Is there something that worries you?
No. I'm just tired from preparing for the presentation.
Today is the final round. She must be nervous.
You two came home late for the past few days.
Were you preparing for the presentation the whole time?
Shall we go to the presentation to cheer for them later?
Can we bring banners?
This is the good thing about having a big family.
We can all go there and heat up the atmosphere for them.
Let's knock the new president down to size.
We appreciate your support.
We worked hard on this. So we'll do a good job.
By the way, I barely see Bae Dal and Jung Mi these days.
It's 125 dollars and 60 cents.
Gosh.
My friend inherited a piece of waste land from his grandfather.
But a new hotel was built there and he became rich,
while I went broke because of the lottery.
How about we take the presents for our family back and refund them?
Our credit card limits have exceeded and can't pay one off with another.
Aunt and Uncle.
This isn't much money.
Why are you giving this to us?
I think you spent too much money on the presents for the family.
What are you doing, cooped up in your room?
I added a little from my part time job.
And the rest is the money refunded for my fur vest.
The store owner was so mean,
she refused to refund my money. So I just sat down on the floor.
Then, she refunded it right away.
But Ms Kim...
Mum, you said it was your wish to have a fur vest.
It's okay.
Winter is long gone. It's too warm to wear a fur vest.
Everyone was here.
Tae Joon and I put some money together.
Stop dreaming of getting rich overnight.
Start living a thrifty life with the money you earn.
Thank you, everyone.
Gosh.
- Let's go out. - Gosh.
Thank you.
Oh, well. Honey.
I think it's too early to be moved.
With all of this money plus my monthly wage,
we can barely pay off our credit cards.
You should look on the bright side.
We would've had nothing this month without this money.
Surprise! Here's a surprise gift for you.
Mum! Mr Lee!
- Chi Saem! - Chi Saem!
Seeing your daughter again cheers you up, right?
Chi Saem heard that you two were discouraged,
so she came to console you.
Mum, Mr Lee, cheer up.
You have me and the baby.
Now that I've seen you, I feel so much better.
Seeing you makes me feel much better, too.
To parents, their child is the best gift.
Here. Let's eat.
Enjoy.
Me?
This is on me. You two should just enjoy.
I am smart enough to know what's going on.
Chi Saem, I can afford this.
Don't worry and eat it.
It's okay. I am here to cheer you up today.
Look. She's all grown up.
You're just a child. There's no way you can afford this.
I saved my pocket money.
I will spend 7 dollars and 50 cents for you today.
Gosh.
- Here you are. - Thank you.
- Please go inside. - Okay.
(The top five finalists)
This way, please.
The reporters and the contestants' families are all here.
It feels like we're having a festival.
Absolutely. The winning team's wine will be Korea's representative wine,
not just Poongildang's representative wine.
They're here.
- Thank you for your help. - Thank you for your effort.
Bom, you know that I'm rooting for you, right?
I'm also rooting for you two.
Thank you.
You cheered me up.
All right. Good luck.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Let's see who wins.
Ehwasongju has an aroma of pine added to the base of ehwaju.
Its subtle but the lingering aroma and smooth taste...
will refresh and calm your mind.
- Ehwasongju is... - Here.
You'll be great.
And there's no misunderstanding between us, right?
Yes. We can't be swayed by someone who wants to trouble us.
I feel so safe with you by my side.
Thanks, Ma Ru.
I checked all the ingredients you'll present at the briefing.
You two look happy together.
I hope you get a good result.
What you did yesterday was so immature. Don't ever do it again.
The first team, An Tae Ho and Choi Ah Ran.
- Yes. - Get ready for your presentation.
Ah Ran. You're ready, right?
Let's not be nervous. We can do this.
Do you think I'll be nervous for something like this?
I asked you to be...
the head of the judging panel at a difficult time like this.
Well, I'm not going to beat around the bush.
My son and his wife are participating in this competition.
As a father, I can't just sit there and do nothing.
Here.
Please help us out.
You shouldn't be doing this...
It looks like you two are having a fun conversation.
- I'll see you at the competition. - Yes, sure.
Well, hello.
Please tell me. What were you and the head of the judging panel...
talking about just now?
Well, as the president of the company,
I just asked him to judge as fairly as possible.
Why? Is there a problem?
I guess you forgot that I'm watching you.
Mr An, you're...
making a big mistake now.
Well, wait. Just a moment. Mr Kang...
Sir, you're Mr Kang Tae Joon, right?
Why would you need to speak to a good civilian like me?
You've been reported for foreign exchange violation and tax evasion.
Come again? I think you're mistaken.
Gosh, that man must've been very anxious.
That's why he had to plot something like this.
How silly.
Let's go. If you investigate me,
you'll be able to find out the truth.
Let's go.
- This way, please. - Okay.
Give this rice cake to the judges whenever you can...
during the competition.
This delicious rice cake will make their jaws drop.
Tell them to enjoy the rice cake and give good scores to Ma Ru and Bom.
Mum, we can't bribe them with this rice cake.
We're making this because...
it goes well with our wine. It's for people to taste.
That's right.
How Bom and Ma Ru do in the competition is important,
but we're preparing this to make the occasion more festive and fun.
Why would you do that? Poongildang isn't even your company anymore.
Gosh, you're just too kind.
Our kids work there.
Is it ready yet?
Gosh, we should get going now.
By the way, where is Tae Joon? Why isn't he calling?
I keep calling him, but he's not picking up.
Gosh, I'm going to stay at home and get some rest.
Go and have fun.
- Ouch, my back hurts. - I'll stay at the bar.
We can't turn away customers who come to eat our food.
You should come. Seeing you would encourage Bom so much.
You should go without me.
Let's go.
(Wine making Competition)
Welcome to Poongildang's Winemaking Competition. The first team,
Ms Choi An Ran and Mr An Tae Ho, is presenting Jangsaengju.
(Jangsaengju, By Choi Ah Ran and An Tae Ho)
The wine we're presenting, Jangsaengju, is known to...
strengthen the heart and invigorate the body.
It's a health promoting medicinal wine.
Starting with the highest quality malt, we used medicinal herbs...
such as dong quai, cnidium, ginseng and rehmannia glutinosa to make...
this elixir and mixed it with the malt.
We also added all natural plum extract to the mixture...
to soften the strong taste of traditional soju...
as well as to add a refreshing flavour.
- Impressive! - Awesome.
It looks like Ms Choi's team is getting good response.
The wine she prepared is a high quality traditional wine.
It'll definitely draw attention.
Bom and Ma Ru. You guys are ready, right?
You're up next.
All of the ingredients are prepared.
Thank you both.
- Hurry up. - Will do.
Now, we just need to make it happen.
Let's do our best.
- Mr Kang Ma Ru? - Yes.
I'm Kang Ma Ru.
Mr Kang Tae Joon is being investigated at the moment.
We have to ask you a few questions regarding your father.
You'll need to come with us.
My father is being investigated?
What do you mean by that?
Go, Bom, go!
You can do it, Bom! Go, Bom, go!
Sir, I'm not saying that I won't come with you.
- If you could give me 30 minutes... - No, we can't do that.
Ma Ru, what's going on?
Let's go now.
Ma Ru.
Dad. Ma Ru needs to go and assist in an investigation.
What? What are you talking about?
Why does a nice guy like him have to be investigated?
Next up are Ms Choi Bom from the development support team...
and Mr Kang Ma Ru from the marketing team.
Hey, they're calling you.
Sir, please take me instead.
I'm his mother. You can take me instead of him for now.
That will solve the problem, right?
This can be considered as obstruction of justice.
Let's go.
Bom, what should we do?
Bom! Bom, you have to go now.
Your team is the last one, so we can't delay it any further.
This ehwasongju I prepared...
has an aroma of pine added to the base of ehwaju.
Its subtle but the lingering aroma and smooth taste...
will refresh and calm your mind.
At first, I brewed ehwasongju with pine added prior fermentation,
but I tried to think outside of the box a little.
I'd like to present this ehwaju cocktail to you.
(Go, Bom and Ma Ru! You can win this competition!)
Ehwaju cocktail?
First of all, I'll pour ehwaju into this flask.
Then, I'll add this pine shoot extract.
Now, I'll add mild traditional wine and mix everything together.
- Go for it, Bom! - Go, Bom!
- Bom, you look so pretty! - Choi Bom, you're so awesome!
Now, I'll get a wine glass...
and fill it up with ice cubes.
Then, I'll pour this cocktail...
and garnish it with pine leaves.
Now, I'll show you...
another cocktail recipe using ehwasongju.
This cocktail, ehwa-omijaju, uses the delicious omija fruit extract.
- Go, Bom, go! - Go for it, Bom!
- Go, Bom! - First, I'll pour ehwaju here.
- Go, Bom! - Go, Bom!
Now, I'll add Youth Wine, which Poongildang is known for.
Then, I'll add the omija extract and mix everything together.
Oh, yes!
Bom, you look so pretty!
Bom, go!
Go, Bom, go!
- Go, Bom! - Go for it!
- Go, Bom! - Go, Bom!
- Go, Bom! - What in the world is she doing?
Go, Bom! Go, Bom!
- Go, Bom! Go, Bom! - Go, Bom! Go, Bom!
This tastes good.
- It's good. - Right. It's good.
- It smells great. - You are right.
This will be popular with young people.
What did you just do?
What do you mean?
That's enough, Ah Ran.
Do you think you can win by putting on a show?
You cared so much about tradition. Why did you change overnight?
In a different environment, people change.
When the world changes, people change their thoughts.
You once told me...
that Poongildang should grow out of the outdated old recipes.
I realised that you were right.
So I decided to change.
- Yes! Way to go! - You can win this!
The employees voted...
the most for wine number one and wine number five.
Please continue to count the balls.
Way to go!
Is there no more balls in the first box?
Go, Bom!
Wine number five takes the first place with 245 votes.
It's not over yet.
Later on, we'll tally this with the judges scores...
and announce the winner.
I will take care of this.
Oh, my.
Oh, no.
You...
Gosh.
Why are you here?
I told you that I would be watching you.
I always keep my words.
We will now announce the winner of...
Poongildang's Wine making competition.
Mr An, please come up to the stage to present the award.
They need you on the stage now.
Let's go.
Mr An, please announce the winner.
I will announce the winner.
Gil Soo has fixed the competition.
What do you mean?
The winner of Poongildang's Winemaking competition is...
The winner is...
Choi Bom and Kang Ma Ru who made ehwasongju.
Yes!
No way.
Bom! This is a miracle! This is a miracle!
Good job, Bom!
What's wrong?
I would like to introduce you to someone.
The person who came up with the idea of our ehwasongju,
and helped us to make it this far is right here with us.
She's the founder of Poongildang, former president Ms Bae Gook Hee.
She's also my mother.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
I told you to behave yourself. How could you do this again?
I don't know what you mean.
You're unbelievable, Mr An.
I am sorry for not teaching my daughter-in-law right.
I can't believe...
that Ms Choi bribed the judges.
- She deserves the punishment. - She got what she deserves.
I can't watch you fall apart because of my father anymore.
- Let's get divorced. - What do you mean?
- We're over. - Tae Ho...
Are you and Jenny really just friends?
I don't know what you really think anymore.
- You are harsh. - What is it?
I'll ask you one last time. Can't it be me?
Can't I be more than a friend to you?
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
