(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 113)
Why...
Why me?
Developing geonbaeju has been the project that Ms Bae tried to...
achieve since she was the president of Poongildang.
Mr Yang and I came up with some ideas to support the project.
Have you seen Mum?
Isn't she in her laboratory?
Mum sent me a weird text message.
She's not a person who would say something like this.
Is Mum here...
Are you looking for Mum, too?
She called me, but she didn't sound normal.
Is something going on with her?
When I saw her earlier, she didn't look well.
Why don't you call her again... I'll call her.
The number you are calling is not available right now. Please leave...
I'm sorry that I'm late for the meeting.
Mr Jang, have you seen Ms Bae?
I saw her at the park after lunch.
She seemed to want to be alone, so I didn't say hello.
Wait. Wait, Mr An.
What? My goodness.
What is going on?
Ms Bae!
Mum!
Ms Bae!
Mum!
- Mum! - Ms Bae!
Mum seemed to have a lot to worry about lately.
Does she feel pressured because of the geonbaeju project?
She's been making traditional wines her entire life.
I don't think it's about geonbaeju.
Show me Ms Bae's text message again.
What should I do now? What should I do?
She's never said something like this before.
Ms Bae.
I'll ask you one more time.
How much longer will you come to work?
I am...
doing my job as the advisor.
You must remember that you asked me...
to do my best to make great geonbaeju.
What do you want?
If it's your old house, I can help you with that.
Can you please leave this company?
Because of you,
I've been suffering from headache.
If I keep seeing you, I might develop a disease.
Do you know how much I'm suffering?
My head is hurting so badly.
What did you say?
I've been seeing a doctor and taking medicine because of you.
An Gil Soo!
Do you know what I'm going through?
Because of you... Because of you...
I'm the one who is suffering.
What were you going to say?
You stole my company. Just focus on growing it.
I'll be watching you.
Forever.
Until I die. No, even after I die, I will be watching you,
following you around.
What is she talking about?
Oh, Mum.
Where have you been?
Oh, Bom...
You sounded weird earlier. So I was worried about you so much.
Ah Ran, Tae Ho, Ma Ru and I went to the park to find you.
Why? Did you think I might have been lost?
I think I have spring fever.
Flowers blooming everywhere and a soft breeze...
made me sentimental.
Is that true?
What? Can't I be sentimental sometimes?
I'm relieved, then.
Oh, that's mine.
Are you unwell?
I told you I would take you to a hospital.
I went to see a doctor.
They're just for indigestion.
You need to improve your diet.
You haven't been eating well lately.
Why didn't you tell me that you have a stomach problem?
Okay. That's how we'll celebrate her birthday.
Okay.
Okay. Let's have dinner here together from time to time.
That'd be great. We can drink some makgeolli together,
and discuss family affairs.
It seems like none of you is fast on catching on to people.
So I won't beat around the bush.
Look here. The marked day is...
my birthday. I just want you to know.
You're not asking us to throw you a birthday party, are you?
That's too much.
Living with you is already a big...
- We were just discussing... - Tae Joon.
You know.
You can look forward to your birthday.
I can? Really?
Even though you don't look like a rich man,
I know you're very rich running a business overseas.
I'll be very much looking forward to my birthday.
Mum, didn't you say that you hate it...
when old people have birthday parties every year?
You said it's embarrassing to celebrate getting older.
I didn't say that.
I won't get to celebrate my birthday many times.
I should enjoy it while I can.
You know the new restaurant at the three-way intersection, right?
The noodle restaurant.
I heard elderly people like it, too. How about noodles?
I can buy 10 of your friends noodles.
What did you say?
You'll buy me just noodles on my birthday?
Are you serious?
Aren't you saying that to me...
to trick me because you are planning...
a surprise party for me?
Mother, please.
It could be dangerous...
to surprise elderly people.
Mother, as Bae Dal said, have noodles with your friends...
at the new restaurant, and buy a new outfit.
All right.
It's not important to celebrate an old lady's birthday.
Eating noodles and getting a new outfit would be enough.
Isn't she upset?
Exactly.
She seems very upset.
She will be extremely surprised on her birthday.
They should arrive by now.
Be careful. Be careful. This way, please.
Please put it in the room at the back.
- Be careful. - Oh, my. What is this?
Please put it in the bedroom.
I promised you.
I told you I would buy you a bed when I get my first salary.
But that's really expensive.
Don't worry.
I can pay 12 instalments with no interest.
I bought the best mattress in the store.
I can't believe you.
- Wow. - What?
Wow. Nice.
You must be so happy.
You have a husband who loves you so much at your age.
It's so nice.
You two will have a great time in such a soft bed.
Jung Ki, aren't you being too aggressive?
Don't be silly.
Please move aside for a moment.
Gook Hee, why don't you lie on the bed?
What were you thinking?
We can't afford a bed.
Does it even look good in this room?
You've been having trouble sleeping at night.
I just wanted to help you have a good sleep.
That's not why I can't sleep at night. How could you...
Why can't you sleep, then?
What is the problem?
I...
Never mind. Let's not talk about it.
Gook Hee, Jung Ki worked hard to buy this for you.
Don't be so mad at him.
Mum's right.
You must be embarrassed because of what I said.
Don't be shy.
There's nothing wrong with loving each other.
I'm home.
Did you buy a bed?
It looks nice.
Mum, what's wrong?
A bed in that room? That's ridiculous.
What are you going to do with the young radish?
Aunt asked me to make yeolmu kimchi. She likes my yeolmu kimchi.
Did you say you would make it just because she asked you?
They have all kinds of kimchi because Ms Lee runs a bar.
I'll finish quickly to avoid making a noise at night.
That's not the point!
You do others favours whenever they ask you one.
I know that your colleague asked you to make her fruit makgeolli,
and you made it without sleeping.
She wanted to use it when proposing to her boyfriend.
I'm not saying that being nice and kind is wrong.
You should take care of yourself first.
You should know how to refuse favours when you can't do them.
Mum...
How is she going to live in this tough world?
Yes, the bed is really nice.
Okay.
You want us to come over now?
All right. I'll make sure to bring everyone.
- Gook Hee, let's go. - Oh, my. I love the new bed.
I did not want to get out of it.
All right, Mum. We should get going now.
Mi Dal wants us to be there soon.
Let's go now, Gook Hee.
Hurry up and have a seat. The noodles will get soggy.
Wow, it looks delicious.
Ms Bae, are you happy about living with Bom and Ma Ru again...
after shedding a bucket of tears?
Thank you again for being so understanding.
If I hear anything about you being harsh on Ma Ru again,
I won't let them stay with you, okay?
Are we, women from both families, here for a special get-together?
Yes. We're here today because Ma Ru said that...
he has something to say to...
all ladies from both families.
This noodle dish is an added bonus. Let's eat now.
Goodness. You want me to eat this on my birthday?
Unbelievable. I raised my children to be treated like this.
He buys a new bed for his wife,
but he's not even interested in doing anything for my birthday.
Oh, everyone is here.
- Yes. - Ma Ru, you're here.
By the way, why did you want all of us to gather today?
I got these for all of you.
- What are they? - What?
Aren't they skincare products?
I told you about my friend, Dong Wook, right?
The one I went to school with in the States.
He quit his job and started a business. He asked me to help out.
- Oh, my. - These...
These are the high-end products affluent ladies in Gangnam use.
Gosh, Ma Ru. Thanks a lot.
It's my pleasure.
- This is for Grandma. - Gosh, what is this?
- This is for Ms Lee. - Thanks.
This one is for you, Ms Bae.
And this one is for Bom.
I got one for you too, Ga Eul.
Wow, you bought mine, too?
Thanks so much, Ma Ru!
I wasn't expecting this. My gosh!
Look at this. I guess it's because it's a high-end product.
It smells divine. The scent is different from what I'm used to.
I think it's smoothing out all the wrinkles on my hand.
But you bought all these just because your friend asked you?
How much did all these cost you?
Right. These must be quite expensive.
His business isn't doing as well as he expected, so I felt bad.
He also has a little daughter.
I see.
You did a good thing, Ma Ru.
I'll keep it short.
You don't have to keep it short, Ms Bae.
From now on, everyone in our family must focus on what's important.
Gosh, are you saying that we were wasting time on useless things?
I don't appreciate the way you're talking right now.
You all know that we still have loans to pay off.
Don't worry about that, Ms Bae.
Bom and I both work, so we'll be able to pay them off soon.
That's right, Mum. We'll put money towards the principal monthly, too.
I'm not talking about our debt.
You're all aware of our financial situation.
Jung Ki, why did you buy the bed?
And Ma Ru, how much did you spend on those skincare products...
just because your friend asked you for help?
Also Jung Mi, you know how stressful their jobs can be.
How could you ask Bom to make kimchi for you?
Well, I asked only because Bom makes great kimchi...
Gook Hee is right.
Jung Mi, that was too selfish.
So? Is that why you're lecturing everyone...
including me, your mother-in-law?
You just can't give up your habit of bossing around everyone, right?
We'll be fine without your lecturing and nagging, so don't even worry!
Yes. They say that the habit of nagging can shorten your lifespan...
That was out of line.
Forget it. I just won't eat kimchi.
Jung Mi.
- Mum! - Well...
Gook Hee...
Mum seems to be stressed and under the weather, so I'm worried.
Hey, is it what I think it is?
Women exhibit those symptoms during menopause.
Right. She's been exceptionally erratic and on edge lately.
You're right.
Well, could be due to the seasonal change?
You're so clueless.
Buying a bed for her won't solve any problems.
You have no clue about how your wife feels.
The best way to cope with menopause is to feel loved by one's husband.
Jung Ki, we'll help you.
They say that you need to strike while the iron is hot.
Take this as an opportunity to prove the love and passion...
you have for Gook Hee.
Here. You seem to be exhausted both physically and mentally.
Drink this and forget all the stress. Drink up.
That's right. You also told me this once.
You said that you're happy to be making wine...
that makes people happy and melts their stress away.
You should let this wine melt your stress away today.
Mi Dal is right, Gook Hee.
Drink up and get a restful sleep.
Mum, shall we entwine our arms and give a toast?
It's okay.
I only came here because you said it's about something important.
- Wait, Gook Hee. Gook Hee... - Mum.
Ms Bae!
Gosh...
Gook Hee, you're here.
Jung Ki.
What are you doing now?
Gook Hee, come here.
I'll give you a massage to remove the knots in your shoulder.
Stop it, seriously.
This isn't important at all right now.
Why is everyone being so thoughtless?
How could I leave all of you...
behind...
How could I...
Gook Hee.
(Poongildang)
Let's come up with a marketing strategy for geonbaeju first.
You want to market a product that isn't even ready yet?
Getting consumers' feedback pre-launch wouldn't be a bad idea.
Answer it.
It's okay. Let's continue the meeting.
I think we covered everything, so let's wrap up the meeting here.
Gosh, I need coffee badly.
- Let's go for coffee, everyone. - Sure.
- Let's go. - Okay.
(Mother)
- Hello... - Hey, Tae Ho.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
Come to the cafe at Gangbuk Hotel by 2pm. You didn't forget, right?
I'll be waiting until you come, so you have to be there, okay?
Soo Kyeong. I told you, right?
My son is handsome, intellectual and kind.
He's just perfect.
As a son, he's so sweet and dutiful, too.
Did you say dutiful?
Well, I didn't mean it in an old-fashioned way.
He's just good to me and my husband.
A married son being overly good to his parents is frowned upon.
I wouldn't like that at all.
It'll be tiring.
A married couple can just live happily together on their own.
I agree.
No mothers-in-law expect special treatments these days.
Making their daughter-in-law cook and do house chores...
is all like an ancient custom that can no longer be valid.
No one gets married to do all the house chores.
Everyone has his or her own lifestyle, right?
Sun Young!
Oh, what brings you here?
You loved the salmon steak from the restaurant here last time,
so I came to pick it up for you.
What brought you here, by the way?
Oh, I'm just...
Oh, right. You wanted me to clean the entire house and...
wash all the bed sheets this weekend. I'll make sure it's done.
Gosh, what are you... What are you talking about now?
By any chance, is she your daughter-in-law?
You said that your son already divorced her.
No. Well, what I meant is that...
he'll sign the divorce papers soon, so you have nothing to worry.
I'm speechless.
You tried to set me up with your married son?
- You're ridiculous. - Wait, Soo Kyeong.
Soo Kyeong, let me explain. Soo Kyeong, Soo Kyeong!
You showed up here on purpose to make a fool of me, didn't you?
Do you think I'll give in and let you stay with Tae Ho?
Get out of my way!
Sun Young, you better not infuriate me further.
If I end up exploding with anger, you won't be able to handle me.
It lists examples of yeast research labs and the expected budget.
- I see. - That witch...
If this is the expected cost, we can start on it right away.
Sure, let's do it.
Gosh, what should I do with that witch...
All right, let me see...
Mi Dal!
I brought cotton candy for you because it reminded me of...
your sweet and gentle love.
Hi, Tae Joon.
Mi Dal, what are you wearing?
You're not going to go out in that dress, are you?
Why not? Can't I go out dressed up like this?
I saw someone wearing more revealing outfit than this.
You told your secretary who always dresses up like this...
that how to dress up is up to personal preferences.
So I decided to wear revealing clothes from now on.
Because you seem to like this style.
I don't like this style.
Gosh.
You can't go out like this.
My goodness.
What's wrong with you?
You're my wife. You're mine.
I can't let other guys look at your bare shoulder.
My goodness. What are you doing?
- Let go of me. - Come inside.
- My goodness. - Come on.
Oh, dear. I thought spring breezes make young people excited.
Why am I feeling so excited for no reason?
It tickles.
What is this weird noise?
- Don't wear that kind of dress. - It seems like...
someone in this house raises a dog.
I hear the groaning sound all night long.
It's so annoying.
Ms Kim, you signed the agreement.
You promised you wouldn't barge in like this.
I'm just a jealous old lady.
All right. Continue to do what you were doing.
Gosh, she's so mean.
She never leaves us alone.
She told us to continue to do what we were doing.
However, I really think...
I made a wrong promise.
Why?
Do you regret that you promised to give me a massage?
No, I mean...
twice a week isn't enough for you.
How about we make it three times a week?
You got me.
Since you already consulted another doctor,
I will get straight to the point.
You should start the treatment as soon as possible.
You're saying...
it can't be a misdiagnosis, right?
That's right.
You need to accept it,
and tell your family as soon as possible.
I understand.
I see.
If you stay strong, I'm sure you can overcome this.
Is that all you can say to me?
How can I have cancer?
What have I done to deserve cancer?
How can this happen to me?
I apologise.
I'm sorry for being rude to you.
You have cancer.
I understand how hard it must be to take in.
But you need to accept it, and start the treatment.
The longer you delay, the harder it gets to treat it.
Can anyone say it to me?
Please say that I don't have cancer.
Please say that I'm not seriously ill.
Oh, my. Ms Bae, why are you coming home so late?
Did you work late?
What is that?
It's nothing.
Please let me see.
Ma Ru just bought you herbal medicine.
Why did you buy some more?
Why do you care so much about health lately?
It's not like that.
Well, it's a good thing.
At our age, we can't be too careful when it comes to health.
Shouldn't we take care of ourselves not to get sick?
However, what brought you here?
I wanted to...
ask you to take care of Bom.
What do you mean by that?
What's wrong? Did Bom complain about visiting us...
every morning and evening?
No, she didn't. That's not what I meant.
Please...
take good care of her forever.
I shouldn't have said that.
Oh, my. My goodness.
I would have given her some of the herbal medicine.
She must like herbal medicine very much.
Mr Kang Tae Joon promised to invest in...
the yeast research laboratory?
Ms Bae's wish will finally come true.
It's not just her personal wish.
Isn't it good for Poongildang's future, Mr An?
When we receive investment, we have to make a profit.
But I am not sure if we could guarantee a profit.
If Mr Kang won't get any return on his investment,
he will put pressure on us.
It's too risky when the company has a financial difficulty.
I'm against it.
Mr An.
Mr Kang promised to invest unconditionally.
What are you afraid of?
- Here's a sample of geonbaeju... - Mr Jeong.
Even though Mr Kang promised to invest in the research laboratory,
the final decision is up to me, the president of this company.
If it causes any loss, I'll have to take the responsibility.
I can't take that risk.
Even if Mr Kang is willing to fully support it, I won't accept it.
Excuse me. Is it that we'll build our own yeast research laboratory?
What... What are you doing here?
I brought the sample of geonbaeju.
I tried everything I can to build the yeast research laboratory,
but I don't think we have a chance.
Father.
I tried to make it happen with respect for your opinion,
but it's too risky to receive investment in a business...
that we can't guarantee a profit.
- But you said Mr Kang would... - Receiving investment...
won't solve all the problems in business management.
I didn't ask you to invest in the laboratory without a reason.
I can promise you that I'd make a profit as much as you invest.
We can develop traditional wines using various types of yeast,
and use the yeast for a bakery business.
- That way, we can make a profit... - Ms Bae, listen to me.
I already said it has been decided.
Just focus on making geonbaeju.
Don't use the yeast as an excuse for failing to make geonbaeju.
If you don't think you can make it, you can just walk out of here.
Please don't be upset.
I will do what I can do to build the yeast research laboratory.
Don't be disappointed.
You will get what you want.
Even my own son doesn't listen to me.
What's this?
Even though Mr Kang promised to invest in the research laboratory,
the final decision is up to me, the president of this company.
If it causes any loss,
I'll be the one to blame. I can't take that risk.
Even if Mr Kang is willing to fully support it, I won't accept it.
What's this?
Who is this?
Who would record this and send it to me?
Gosh!
What do you mean?
Is it really not you?
Someone set up a camera and recorded what I said and sent it to me.
It wasn't you, was it?
Father.
How could I blackmail you?
It wasn't you, right?
You shouldn't have done anything wrong in the first place.
How dare you!
Stop giving Ms Bae a hard time and live without guilt.
Then, you wouldn't have to doubt your own son.
Stop it.
Who is it, then?
Right. It must be Bom.
Bom came in during the meeting.
That's right.
I will get it.
Hello, it's development support team.
Ms Choi isn't available right now.
Please hold on.
Yes.
Okay.
Hold on a second.
I have it right here. I will bring it to you now.
I'll go to the planning team.
Oh, right. Mr Yang said he had something to say.
Bom, I'll come with you.
Where did everyone go?
Even though Mr Kang promised to invest in the research laboratory,
the final decision is up to me, the president of this company.
Yes.
I knew it was you, Bom.
Goodness, I'll starve to death if I have to wait longer.
Are we not having dinner today, Mi Dal?
Well, I had a late lunch,
so I'm not really hungry.
But it's my birthday. How could you not do anything for me?
If you're hungry, you can heat up the leftover rice and eat it.
I'd rather starve if I have to eat leftover rice on my birthday!
I honestly can't believe this.
Well, was I too harsh?
What if she gets really mad at us?
This is my mum's favourite dish, galbijjim. Let's taste it.
Gook Hee, try it.
How is it?
I'm not sure.
Jung Mi, you should taste it.
Well, you bought the most expensive, top-quality beef.
I'm sure it's delicious.
Buying all these things for Mum's birthday dinner must've been costly.
Thanks, Gook Hee.
I wanted it to be a grander affair because it's her birthday.
- Do we need anything else? - Gosh, don't even say that.
We don't need anything else. We have abundance of food!
Bom and I will take care of her birthday next year.
Yes. Starting next year, you shouldn't have to lift a finger.
Thanks, both of you. I'll stop worrying, then.
Oh, right. What about the cake?
I'll meet Ma Ru in a bit and pick it up with him.
(Happy Birthday, Ms Kim Eul Nyun!)
Look at all this! Ms Kim will almost faint because she'll be so happy.
Her family is throwing a surprise party for her like this.
I haven't exactly been the best son,
and I feel bad that this is all I can do to make it up to her.
Well, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to express my gratitude...
to you for allowing my mother to stay at your place.
Gosh. Please don't even mention it, okay?
Thanks to Ms Kim, things are more lively and fun in my family.
I'm so happy that she's staying with us.
By the way, why isn't Ma Ru here yet?
We have to put up the balloons over there.
Oh, please give them to me.
- I'll do it. - Are you sure?
- Of course. - Thanks.
I should've taken care of Ms Kim's birthday as the elder son-in-law.
I'm just showing up like this without doing anything. I apologise.
Well, today is a happy day,
so let's forget about everything and focus on happy thoughts.
- Oh, you're here. - Wow!
It looks amazing!
The cake is ready, so I'll go and pick it up.
Sure, that'd be great.
Yes, Ma Ru.
I was just about to leave.
How late are you going to be?
He must be really busy. He doesn't even know when he can get here.
Yes, Ma Ru!
What?
Oh, you're almost here?
Yes, okay!
