(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 108)
How is she going to show up here when I don't allow it?
Ms Bae arrived.
Thank you for your welcome.
Yes, right.
This was dropped on the floor, so...
I see.
Thank you for accepting to take the advisory role.
As an investor, I'm so relieved now.
Looking at her back in this office, I think that she seems...
so comfortable as if she's at home.
I'm here to study traditional wines and help with product development.
I'll do my best to help the company...
as per the corporate goal set by Mr An and the executives.
Gosh, you're too modest.
I think the company is more stable with you back here.
We will be holding a ceremony for your appointment this afternoon.
That is not necessary.
I said hello to the employees and all executives, so there is no need.
I will start working today.
What did you say she wrote in her text message exactly?
She was asking for help. She wrote that she's having a hard time.
Ah Ran must feel very desperate right now.
She must've misunderstood me and thinks that even I left her.
Why were you so harsh on her?
You're the only one she has.
I'm sorry.
But do you think that we'll be able to find her there?
Wherever she is, we'll go and find her.
She said she and her family have happy memories there.
Ah Ran, pick up the phone, please.
(Seasonal Bokwonju Project Business Contract)
(Bae Gook Hee)
Just a moment.
I also agree that Ms Bae Gook Hee...
should be dismissed.
How could I wash that away?
Why...
Why did I do something that I can't even forgive myself for?
No one will forgive me. Why did I do such a thing?
We won't be able to find her like this. She might not even be here.
Ah Ran.
Tae Ho.
Let's try going that way.
Ah Ran!
You saw Ah Ran's text message.
That was like a signal that she wants us to come.
Excuse me. By any chance, have you seen a woman travelling alone?
Here. It's this person.
She looks like the lady who was standing on the pier this morning.
Isn't she still there?
- Gosh, thank you so much. - No problem.
It sounds like she was here.
Gosh, Ah Ran. Why are you here alone like this?
She must be trying to clear her mind to go back to you.
I'm sure she's thinking about you and the family right now.
So let's give her some more time until she comes back.
Gosh, what happened?
I heard that woman, Bae Gook Hee, is back.
I almost fainted when I heard the news from your secretary.
You should've stopped her.
You really shouldn't have let her come back.
What will you do if she tries to steal your position?
Enough!
Do you think I'm thrilled about it?
Goodness.
I'm completely flabbergasted and appalled right now, too.
You must be. I know that you were against the decision.
Who allowed her to come back to the company? Who?
Bae Gook Hee.
I thought I made myself clear.
Why did she decide to come back?
I will kick her out...
for you.
We're planning to launch this product soon.
It received an average score on the internal test.
Mr An hasn't achieved much yet, so he wants to launch this quickly.
For a traditional wine, it tastes a bit too strong.
But we can observe consumer response after the launch...
and make slight changes to the taste if needed.
Bom stepped out, but she'll show you everything when she's back.
Okay.
This is old. It's still here.
When the first modern-style research lab was built at Poongildang,
people laughed at us saying why a traditional wine company...
would need to make recipe data...
with a microscope when it just needs to brew malt and medicinal herbs.
Gosh, President! I mean, Ms Bae.
We have a problem. Please come with me.
Ma Ru. You should come, too.
(Our new advisor, Ms Bae Gook Hee, welcome back!)
Please hurry up!
Ms Bae, this way.
Congratulations!
Everyone is busy, so we're missing a few people here.
But we're happy that you're back,
so we wanted to throw a little party for you.
Thank you, everyone.
But I didn't want to make a fuss about coming back.
We know. That's why we're keeping it simple.
Goodness.
Please make a wish and blow the candle.
I'm glad to be able to work with you again.
I wish Poongildang a bright future ahead...
No. We hope that you'll get your position back.
Sorry. We are sincerely hoping that...
you can with work us for a long time!
- Congratulations! - Congratulations.
Ms Bae Gook Hee forever!
Ms Bae! Please give it to me. Let me carry it.
It's okay...
Don't be so formal.
Why not?
I didn't know that all employees would be this happy to see you.
- Ms Bae. - Ms Bae.
When did you come back?
- How have you been? - I've been fine.
- President! - Yes?
- Have you been well? - Yes, I have.
- How have you been? - I've been great.
- Are you still in the same team? - Yes.
Is that so?
I gave him my number...
and asked to call me if he sees Ah Ran again.
I'm sure he will call me.
I should've stayed longer and wait for her.
Don't worry.
(Ah Ran)
Ah Ran, is that you? Where are you now?
I asked you to leave me alone. Why did you come here?
Were you there?
Did you see us looking for you?
Let me talk to her.
Ah Ran, please come back. Let's talk in person.
Please, don't...
Hello?
Ah Ran.
Ah Ran will come back.
Now, she knows that we're looking for her.
It seems that Ah Ran is trying to pull herself together.
I got a call from her.
I knew she would be okay.
I don't know why she keeps making us worry.
She pushed forward about her marriage.
I wish she had been happy.
It's okay.
I'm relieved that she's doing okay.
By the way, what brought you here, Jung Ki?
I'm came here to check on you.
I was worried about you.
I am not a child.
You don't have to worry about me.
But he is in this building.
You know he always tries to...
find a chance to sabotage you.
Don't worry, Dad.
I will protect Mum.
I won't let him do anything to her again.
I thought I would never see you at Poongildang again.
But you are here again.
It's not like this is a place for a family picnic.
What is everyone doing here?
You can't say that to us. You come here every day.
Excuse me? What did you say?
Sun Young, I...
You are all here.
You know that...
I am the president of Poongildang.
When you see me and my family in the office or elsewhere,
please show us some respect.
We would appreciate it.
That's right. I'm glad you said that.
Of course.
We should be respectful to each other.
But before you ask us for respect,
you should at least be conscious of what you did.
Well, that's...
Let's go.
Gosh.
Wow. Finally, you two are getting married.
I am jealous.
Congratulations on your wedding.
Thank you.
I promise I'll be at your wedding.
- I thought you were going back... - I am going back.
I want to go, too.
But the president won't let me go. What can I do?
I hope you won't get in between me and Ma Ru.
I heard that that's a common wedding gift in Korea.
Open it.
Jenny, this is really childish.
I don't know what happened to those.
Don't you think it's a bad sign for your marriage?
No matter what you do,
you can't break us up.
Will Mum approve of it?
We have to convince her.
She will probably be sad.
She had been in bed for days when she sent me away.
If you...
I mean, if we do the same thing, she'll be heartbroken.
She might feel rather relieved.
Let's go in.
That's ridiculous!
Gosh, Mi Dal.
You don't have to yell at them.
I would be happy...
if you two are happy wherever you live.
Thank you.
We have a spare room.
Why would you live in that tiny house where they can't even...
sit around together?
You'll be newly-weds.
But you're going to live with your in-laws, Ma Ru?
Mum, we don't have enough money to rent a house right now, and...
Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
Since Ms Bae is going through a lot,
you want to take care of her.
Mi Dal, it's not entirely true...
that we have a spare room for them.
Ga Eul and my mum are using the small bedroom,
and we're using the room at the back.
Then, you and Bae Dal can live with your family.
- What? - No, no. I don't want to.
Gook Hee is a very nice person,
but frustratingly rigid.
And just the thought of living with in-laws makes me sick.
So you don't want to live with your in-laws,
but it's okay for Ma Ru to live with his?
Mum, we'll come to see you every day,
and have a meal with you twice a week.
I will cook.
Sure. It doesn't matter where you live.
What's important is that we're always happy when we see each other.
- Don't you think so? - Absolutely.
Gosh.
I lost my daughter, and now I'm losing my son.
I bet I'm the most resentful mum in the world.
You can just ask me to hug you.
What's wrong with you? I didn't mean that.
Look. That part is wrinkled.
This is our bedroom. Don't be so sloppy.
Now that we're decorating the walls and the floor,
and bringing in new furniture, our marriage feels real.
We can see each other every day, and don't have to part every night.
I'm so excited.
Thank you.
I mean, I'm sorry.
You spent the money for a new apartment on paying off our debt.
And we have to start our life in such a small room.
Because the room is small,
we get to stay closer.
To be honest, I'm excited about our wedding,
but I'm more excited about our honeymoon.
Canola flowers must be blooming by now.
I'm really impressed with your idea.
It's brilliant to go on a honeymoon with the whole family.
My family and I haven't travelled together before.
In fact, I haven't been on a flight my entire life.
As I grew up, my mum who raised me was too busy making a living.
And since I found my real mum, there has been too much going on.
How about I give you a ride?
Right now!
Stop. I'm dizzy.
I'm dizzy. Put me down.
How sweet.
I made noodles for their break, but they're taking a break already.
Here you go.
One more time. Where do you want to go this time?
- Shall I fly you to Hawaii? - Stop. I'm really dizzy.
It's time for you to pay.
Wasn't it free?
Oh, my.
When should we tell our families...
about the trip to Jeju Island?
It should be a surprise. So let's tell them the night before.
Shouldn't we give them some time to pack and get ready?
Is that so?
- Mum. - Oh, dear.
Did you give them the noodles already?
Listen. That doesn't matter now.
Should I tell them or not?
Ms Kim, what is it?
What do I do?
You know...
In fact, you know...
They talked about a surprise or something.
I think it should be a secret.
But I'm dying to tell you.
What is it? What's the secret?
Ms Kim, please.
You know that I'm as close as an oyster, don't you?
Do tell. I'll make sure I won't tell anyone.
Well... Okay.
This is a secret.
They will go to Jeju Island for their honeymoon,
and they'll take the entire family...
with them!
- Oh, my. Really? - Is that true?
We're all going to Jeju Island?
- Oh, yes! - That's awesome.
That's right.
I'm going to pack my bag now.
- I'm excited. - Yes! Baby, did you hear that?
It can be our honeymoon, too.
Honey, didn't I promise you that I'd take you on honeymoon?
You're not taking me on honeymoon. We're just tagging along.
It's even better because it's free.
Do you know where Mum is...
Oh, are you two going away on a trip or something?
A trip?
We're not going anywhere.
Then why are you packing?
This? Well...
Ga Eul. Well...
Gosh.
I'll tell you,
but you can't tell anyone, okay?
You must keep your lips sealed, promise?
- We're going to Jeju Island. - Gosh.
Bae Dal! You can't spill it.
Bom wants the entire family to join her honeymoon!
- Seriously? - Yes!
That's amazing!
- Then I'll go and pack, too. - Hurry up!
Let's go
Let's go to Jeju Island
Let's go.
We're going to Jeju Island
And our gimbap business is doing well
Darling, here.
- Bae Dal, try this. - Thanks.
I stayed up all night to develop the recipe for this wasabi gimbap.
Wouldn't people who like tangy and simple flavours love this gimbap?
Bravo!
You're a genius. Darling, you're truly a gimbap genius. Wow!
Keep it down. If Mi Dal wakes up,
- our business could be doomed. - Hello! I'd like one row of gimbap!
Oh, Ma Ru. You know about Jeju...
This is the hottest new item on our menu. Try it.
- Sure, thank you. - No problem.
Have you thought about making gimbap with seasoned squid?
Bom likes it.
Oh, gimbap with seasoned squid, accompanied by miso soup.
Yes! That's perfect as a set menu!
Gosh, Ma Ru.
You're really winning my heart these days. Thanks.
What are you thanking me for?
Never mind.
You are so modest.
- Thank you. - Have a good day.
Here's 6 dollars. I'd like 3, please.
Sure.
Take these two and this one. Thank You.
- I'd like two, please. - Okay.
I'm sold out of the special wasabi gimbap.
- I'm sorry. - Pardon?
It's not even lunch time yet, and it already sold out?
I'm sorry, Mr Yang.
I'll deliver it to you first tomorrow.
You promise, right?
But do you really have nothing left?
- I think I can smell something. - Gosh, stop it.
I told you that I'm sold out.
Sold out, okay?
Goodness.
Gosh.
I was saving this for Ms Bae.
I almost had to give it to Mr Yang. Gosh.
Please send me daily reports on the status of the new product.
The fermentation process takes time, so daily reports are meaningless.
Whether they're meaningful or not is for me to judge.
You're an advisor to the product development team,
but I oversee the entire new product development process,
so it'll be great if you can work around my schedule.
Ms Song. Rushing like this...
won't help us in any way.
I'm saying we should stick to the plan. The plan, okay?
By any chance, do you still think that you're the president?
Excuse me.
You're really worse than I thought.
Ms Bae doesn't work under you.
You don't know anything. Why are you trying to get involved?
You're a security guard, so stay out of this.
What? What did you just say?
Yes. I'm a security guard here, but I'm also...
Ms Bae's bodyguard. What's your problem?
Bae Dal, it's okay. Stop it.
No, no. I can't watch her being so disrespectful to you.
Look who's talking. I'll be watching you, so you better know your place.
Poongildang! I hope you enjoyed our gimbap.
Poongildang!
- Mr Lee Bae Dal. - Yes.
Please spare me a second.
Oh, sure.
Well...
Someone reported you.
You should've been careful.
Gosh, I'm really sorry.
What will happen to me, then?
We thought we should have you pick the rings.
You guys can just choose the rings.
You had to take time away from our busy schedules for this?
We wanted to choose designs that you two are happy with.
How about this one?
Oh, my. It looks like Ms Bae and I have the same taste.
Let me see.
My gosh.
It's exquisite.
Ms Bae, you should try it, too.
No, it's okay.
Gosh, it's not like trying it on will cost anything.
Goodness!
You two have the same ring size.
We'd like this design. We'll buy two.
Sure.
Gosh, can we really choose the design for your rings like this?
This is Ma Ru's gift for the two of you.
Gosh.
These rings are not enough to express my gratitude to you.
But I thought that I had to do something...
to show you how appreciative I am.
Thank you for giving birth to and raising Bom.
- Gosh. - I know that I'm not perfect,
but I'll do my best to become a great husband to Bom.
I don't know whether I have a great son or a great son-in-law.
Do I have a great daughter...
or a great daughter-in-law?
Gosh, okay. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Let's just finalise it this way.
Can you teach me something?
I saw young people sending love letters using their smartphones.
I want to send one to my wife.
This is what I want to say. "I, Kang Tae Joon,"
"devote my life to you, and I'll love you forever."
What do you think?
It's great, Mr Kang.
- All right. First, you press this. - Okay.
You see this, right?
That's right! This is it.
I think your wife will like these types of emoticons.
Yes, this is it!
Stop what you're doing now!
Oh, Mi Dal. You're back.
What were you two doing with that phone?
Were you watching something lewd together?
Oh my gosh.
That would be embarrassing.
That's not what we were doing, Mi Dal.
Then what were you two doing glued together like that?
Well, then. I should go now.
- Well... - My goodness!
Where do you think you're going, young lady?
And I wasn't going to say this,
but don't you think your outfit is a little too inappropriate?
It's too revealing that I can't even look at you.
I apologise. I'll be careful in the future.
Mi Dal, please.
What she wears is her personal choice.
You're out of line.
Oh my goodness.
Are you taking her side right now?
What are you talking about?
Gosh.
Well, you should get going.
Okay.
Unbelievable. How could you let her run away like this?
Look, young lady!
I'll teach you a lesson if you try to seduce my husband once again!
Gosh, Mi Dal. Please.
Goodness.
You said you want 30 more rows of gimbap tomorrow, right?
Sorry?
Oh, right. Darling.
You don't need to.
- Actually... - Why not? Are you worried about me?
Don't worry. I'm totally fine.
They say that you have to make hay while the sun shines.
I'm going to use the momentum and try to become rich with my gimbap.
What?
By the way, Mi Dal,
Tae Joon is really impressive.
Even the new president, who walks with his nose in the air,
bows down and crawls whenever Tae Joon says anything.
I heard that he could even make a terminated employee return.
Gosh, does he have that much power?
Mi Dal, having a super successful husband would make me nervous.
Don't you feel the same way?
Nervous about what?
Well, men start thinking about other things when they're successful.
No.
These days, women proactively try to seduce men...
who are successful.
You should be careful, too.
Stop talking nonsense.
Young women can try to seduce Tae Joon all they want.
He won't even blink an eye.
Gosh, Mi Dal. Look at you.
Take better care of yourself. You've gotten more wrinkles.
Oh, no. Mi Dal, these right here.
- Aren't they age spots? - Gosh, shut it.
Getting wrinkles and age spots is a natural thing as you age.
What are you talking about?
Women take such great care of themselves these days.
This world is filled with young, beautiful women.
I'm sure Tae Joon notices them, too.
Goodness! What are you two trying to tell me?
Oh, Mi Dal. Gosh, wait.
Have a seat, Mi Dal.
Gosh, why are you holding my wrist like that?
I bought some cosmetic products to make you feel better.
This is a cream to remove freckles and age spots.
Do you mean my face is covered with spots?
What's wrong with you?
And this one is very good for wrinkles.
Right. I have so many wrinkles on my face...
that even ironing my face wouldn't help. Are you happy now?
Stop twisting my words!
I even asked my secretary for some advice on your gift.
What? These are...
what your secretary suggested?
Gosh.
Why didn't you just tell her that your wife has...
nothing but wrinkles and age spots on her face?
Oh, my.
What did you argue about with her?
I can't understand why women get upset so often.
What did I do wrong?
Tae Joon, I'll make sure Mi Dal feels better.
So let's talk about the company for a second.
I'm not in the mood to talk about it now.
How do you like my gookhwaju?
It's usually hard to remove the smell of grass. You did a good job.
Don't you have any strong wine?
- I want to get drunk. - Mum.
Drinking in a bad mood can be poisonous.
You'd better calm yourself with this soft, medicinal wine.
Gosh, you sound like a monk meditating under a tree.
Don't you see why I'm angry?
I'm mad because of that sly secretary.
Mr Kang is such a gentleman.
You don't need to worry.
I know. But when a young woman walk around my husband...
like this,
wouldn't I be upset?
That's true.
But men always blame us saying it's only jealousy.
It makes us feel even worse.
That's what I'm saying.
Ms Bae, you and I are...
on the same wavelength today.
Tae Joon treats me like an old woman burning with jealousy.
That must have hurt your feelings.
Mr Kang went too far.
Since you two are so understanding,
I feel like I'm going to cry.
I'm home.
I can't even imagine how you felt...
when your husband left home and cheated with Ma Ru's mum,
after you lost Bom.
I should try not to think of that. When I think of it,
my heart still aches.
My goodness.
She says that her heart still aches.
I apologised to her so many times.
It's about time for her to forget about it.
I am so upset, too. It's not fair.
Sometimes, you have to work with female employees.
But she glared at me, burning with jealousy.
Women have unnecessarily good memory.
You are right.
They're unnecessarily sensitive.
When I work with my secretary,
I don't see her clothes or anything.
But Mi Dal pointed out every detail about her.
I thought Ms Lee was...
generous and understanding.
But I saw how she talked about me to my wife.
She tends to stir up a fight.
But that's because...
she has a good reason.
Living with another woman, leaving your family behind is...
a really bad thing to do, right?
It's funny.
You sound like you know so much about women.
But you don't understand why Ms Lee is upset...
about your secretary. I don't understand you.
Why didn't you call me over to join you two?
Tae Joon.
I'm in trouble at work.
Tae Joon, I said...
Jung Ki. Oh, no. I might get fired.
Tae Joon, wake up.
Uncle.
- What happened? - Gosh.
I don't know.
Tae Joon.
As we discussed, I'm planning to focus on commercialising...
Bom's ehwasongju, the winning wine of the competition.
That sounds good.
But an adviser's role is to encourage the employees.
Leave developing new products to the staff in the lab.
You can just come to work once or twice a week casually.
I will give you enough salary...
to show respect. So don't worry.
My mother came back as an adviser to help us commercialise ehwasongju.
Mr An, I am here to work.
Many people criticise Poongildang...
because we focus more on advertising and marketing...
rather than the quality of our wines.
Is that so?
If you are so eager to work,
I can't stop you.
You used to say this.
The most important and basic task in the lab is maintaining equipment.
You can do as you said.
Wash and sterilise all the tools in the laboratory, Ms Bae.
I will.
You should have been more careful.
Mum...
You will never forgive me. Right?
Ah Ran.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
