(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
What are you talking about now?
No. That's not true.
Denying it won't make the disease go away!
Take a break from work and go through chemotherapy.
You need to live!
Mum.
Bom!
Why are you here?
Why did you come all the way to our place to talk to my mum?
Look.
Well, I'm going to get going now.
You should be careful.
Take good care of your mother.
Mr An!
Stop it!
Bae Gook Hee. Why is she so stubborn?
Just a moment.
I know that you switched the "geonbaeju" batches.
Look, Bom.
Whether I did it or not, is it that big of a deal?
Mr An.
Judge the situation and find out what's more important.
Don't waste your time with pointless things.
You really don't have any conscience.
You're so dying to kick my mum out of the company...
that you even had to come to our place to threaten her?
Even if you do all this, she won't leave the company.
She will complete the "geonbaeju" and...
Listen. Do you know what your mother is going through right now?
Shall I tell you what she is dealing with right now?
Mr An!
Bom.
Bom, go home.
- Mum. - Just go home, okay?
This is between me and Mr An.
Be careful with what you say.
Regardless of what you know,
do not say a word about it to my daughter.
Look, Ms Bae.
Okay.
It's your health, so you need to take care of it yourself.
Fine.
Mum.
Don't worry.
Mr An has committed many bad deeds. He won't be able to harm me easily.
Have you ever heard of a sinner punishing the victim?
He's the one who needs to be punished.
Mum.
Ah Ran.
(21°C, Fermented for seven days)
You wrote the answer inside the cup.
I was worried that you might not figure it out.
I'm sorry.
I always told you both to live righteously...
We need to do whatever it takes for you to survive in the company.
Gil Soo switched the wines to kick you out.
We can't do nothing and just let him win.
Mum, your sense of taste will be recovered,
and you'll be able to make good "geonbaeju".
Yes. That will solve the problem.
Mr An was here earlier.
It sounded like he was telling Mum not to come to work.
The tasting didn't go as he planned, so he may be trying to threaten her.
He's more than capable of doing that.
If he finds out that Mum has lost her sense of taste...
So you have to stay by Mum's side and help her.
We absolutely cannot let...
the staff members at the lab find out about Mum's condition.
Okay?
To complete "geonbaeju" and to make sure that he can't kick Mum out,
the two of us must gather our strength.
But what if Mr An finds out and holds a grudge against you?
He could kick you out of the company as well as from his house.
I should be prepared.
It's a risk I'm willing to take.
Let's just think about Mum now.
I'm sorry.
I feel like I'm burdening you when I'm the one who ruined our family.
(Poongildang)
Hey, everyone in the lobby is talking about it.
Everyone passing here has been...
talking about the tasting or whatever it is from yesterday.
I've heard of Ms Bae's super sensitive palate, but I was amazed.
You should've filmed that historic moment.
I know. I should have.
Oh, Poongildang!
- Did you hear about it? - Of course!
- The tasting from yesterday! - You saw that, right?
The former president, Ms Bae, taught Mr An a lesson.
Everyone is talking about it now.
I'm so thrilled and gratified.
I heard that she had a sip of raw rice wine...
and could tell in which factory and production line it was made.
I'm sad that I wasn't there to witness it with my two eyes.
Now, we just need to complete "geonbaeju".
That's right!
All right. We can do it!
- We can do it! - Let's go now.
- Have a good day. - You, too.
You should go, too.
Bae Gook Hee.
What do you get from making my life this difficult?
You'll end up vanishing anyway.
We felt bad about being disrespectful to you, Ms Bae.
So we thought a lot about how to apologise to you.
It wasn't necessarily disrespectful.
Every researcher has to go through it.
Don't you agree, Ms Bae?
Yes, I do.
It was rather a good chance...
for me to steel myself to stay alert and focused on making wines.
Ms Bae.
Thank you for being understanding and big-hearted.
It inspired me to be big-hearted...
and make an investment.
- The yeast research laboratory... - That's right.
I will fully invest in the yeast research laboratory.
I don't want a quick profit.
To make a contribution in developing traditional wines,
I will dedicate the laboratory to Ms Bae.
That is amazing.
Ms Bae might be under too much pressure, if you...
If you could support us as you said, I think it'd be very helpful...
for developing all Poongildang's products as well as "geonbaeju".
Thank you.
This is...
the approval document of my investment in the laboratory.
I'm investing in the laboratory...
only because I trust you, Ms Bae.
Here you are.
Okay. I'll get going.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
A good "maehwaju" needs a good scent as much as it should taste good.
I'm worried that I have problems with my senses of smell and taste.
Even though I'm not expert at tasting wine,
I'll do my best until you recover your sense of taste.
You can make a good wine even without tasting it.
You made the first batch of "geonbaeju" without tasting it.
I'm sure you'll pull this off.
Bom, learning to make traditional wine...
can't be done in just a few days.
It takes a very long time.
I am not in a hurry.
I have such a good teacher like you.
You will teach me everything.
That's not true.
I can't teach you as long as you need.
You should take a note and remember all that I tell you.
Do you understand?
You are right. You will become busy at the yeast research laboratory.
And you have to focus on the "geonbaeju" project.
You won't be able to teach me all the time.
That's not what I meant.
Even if you put flower petals...
in the raw wine for "maehwaju", the petals can float...
when you boil the wine. So don't forget to cover the pot.
Okay?
- Hold it for me. - Okay.
Here we go.
Bae Gook Hee, you have no time to waste...
on chatting with your daughter.
What's wrong with her?
Are you feeling sick?
Go away. Go away.
What is the problem?
Get your hands off of me.
I am fine.
My goodness.
Why are you being so stubborn?
You should take care of yourself now.
I am perfectly fine. So mind your own business.
All right.
Whether you have cancer or not,
whether you will die of it, I don't care.
No, it would be better for me...
if you get out of my sight sooner rather than later.
But... I can't...
let you die in front of me.
Don't you dare die.
If you die in front of me,
people will swear at me.
They will point their fingers at me saying that I'm responsible for it.
An Gil Soo...
Darn it!
Gosh.
What are you doing?
Hi, Gil Soo.
Sun Young seems to lack energy after being on a diet.
So I'm cooking healthy food for her.
I can't believe you are cooking abalone...
for someone who doesn't eat much...
to lose weight.
What about your parents?
Did you even bother to see how your mother is doing?
My parents are doing well.
That is not true.
Be a good daughter first.
My goodness. Gil Soo.
Why do you care so much about her parents?
She turned her back on her family.
Why would she care about her family?
Gosh.
Gil Soo. Why don't you eat some before you go out?
My goodness. He is such a good man.
You said you felt like being watched all the time, right?
I'm the one who is watching you.
Why didn't you go to bed? You must be tired.
I am about to.
- Ah Ran. - Yes?
Father seems to want to ask Ms Bae for reconciliation,
and recover the relationship between the two families.
How about we help them reconcile with each other?
Do you think so? If he really wants that, I'd be relieved.
What is wrong with you?
You should escape Ms Bae's shadow.
How much longer will you let her influence you?
And why would you care about Ah Ran's parents?
Are you going to give Ms Bae back her seat?
Gosh.
Stop talking nonsense already.
Take care of Ah Ran's parents.
Visit their house with health supplements...
Why should I? I don't want to.
Just do it for me.
Do you know how my employees think of me?
The reason I care about Bae Gook Hee is...
because I made myself look bad...
after I became the president.
So I need you to help me improve my reputation by pretending...
to take care of her family.
You mean that we should...
stay in good terms with them to show other people.
All right. If that's what I can do to help you,
there's no reason I can't do it.
- We are here. - I see.
Gosh.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Please always focus on me when you take pictures.
- Okay. - It's for the company newsletter.
Okay. Ms Bae.
Hello.
- How have you been? - What brings you here?
You still haven't come to your senses.
Did you bring a reporter here to harass us again?
No. That's not why I'm here.
I'm here with a purely good intention...
as Ah Ran's mother-in-law.
Don't mind the photographer.
He only takes pictures of me in my everyday life.
Please stop it.
I don't even want to know why you're here.
I don't want to get involved in anything related to you.
Please leave.
If the employees see how well the former president's family...
and the current president's family are getting along,
they will be cheered up.
Your daughters will be more comfortable at work, too.
You don't have to be so rigid.
Here you are.
I brought you good health supplements. Please enjoy.
I hope you will feel better.
- Excuse me. - Oh, I forgot.
This is...
Take a picture of this.
This is a monetary gift...
from the president of Poongildang.
Why don't you listen to me?
How can you treat me like this when I'm trying to help you?
My goodness.
Oh, my.
Gosh.
Well...
Gook Hee.
I know how much you despise that woman,
but she was here hoping to mend the relationship.
You shouldn't have been so heartless towards her.
You know that she doesn't actually mean it.
Who cares about whether she's being sincere or not?
What matters more is how it can benefit us.
Do you think your effort to keep your pride...
will give the company back to you?
We should welcome any gesture that could help us improve our finances.
What? Mum!
Gosh! Why did you accept this?
Goodness.
Eul Nyun.
Don't bruise Gook Hee's pride as Poongildang's former president.
How can you accept this from that ridiculous woman?
Goodness. You're feeling nauseous because of what just happened?
My stomach is all ruined because of stress, too!
Mum... Goodness.
(Hunger Strike, Day 4)
Even if your hunger strike goes on for 100 days, it won't work.
We cannot invest in your business.
We have no interest in it whatsoever.
Aren't I right, Tae Joon?
When it comes to investment,
there must be something very irresistible...
about the business plan that arrests the investor's mind.
But I must say that your business plan...
lacks that irresistible element.
Well...
The master of gimbap here will keep inventing new menu items.
What else can be more irresistible than that?
Well, still...
In my opinion, gimbap is too ubiquitous.
You're upsetting me by comparing our gimbap to other gimbap places'.
Whenever I gave you our gimbap to taste,
you complimented me by saying that they taste out of this world!
That's right!
You invest in strangers' businesses.
How can you be this stingy towards your family members?
You're just so clueless.
Money matters must be dealt with more strictly among family.
Goodness. All right, everyone. That's enough. Let's eat now.
This chewy samgyeopsal has no unpleasant odours at all.
Jung Mi, you'd love this.
- We didn't have proper lunch... - Mum!
Well, why are you saying that I like samgyeopsal?
I won't swallow even a sip of water until you know how serious we are.
Goodness.
What about now? Can you say no to this?
Uncle Bae Dal, doesn't this samgyeopsal smell so good?
You two are so ridiculous.
Do you think your uncle will...
surrender to samgyeopsal?
I can't take this any longer. Bae Dal, let's escape momentarily.
Okay, Darling. Let's retreat so that we can march forward later.
- Okay. - We will be back!
Goodness gracious.
You look like you're fighting for independence of your nation.
Starving isn't healthy especially for Jung Mi as she's pregnant.
Gosh.
- Please, please... - Goodness.
Why am I so hungry? I ate noodles with Mum in the afternoon.
Imagine eating a piece of crispy samgyeopsal...
with a dollop of ssamjang...
along with green onion salad and grilled garlic slices!
Gosh, I really can't endure this torture any more.
- Darling, sit down. - Okay.
We must stay strong, okay?
Instead of samgyeopsal...
Ta-da!
Oh my goodness! This is fried chicken! You made my day!
When did you hide this here?
Meticulous preparation is key in achieving any big goals.
Hold on. And...
There's makgeolli to accompany the chicken!
You can't drink makgeolli, so start eating the chicken.
Yes. We've definitely shown how determined we are.
I'm sure Mi Dal and Mr Kang have changed their mind.
- Of course. - Cheers!
- Cheers! - Yes!
Bae Dal and Jung Mi, stop starving yourselves and...
Gosh.
Of course you wouldn't actually be starving yourselves. Goodness.
Well, I can definitely keep going, but we were worried about our baby.
We have to be healthy...
in order to raise a healthy child.
I'm just speechless.
- You two are ridiculous. - Eat this, too.
Gosh, I'm an idiot. I should've locked the door when we were eating.
They totally caught us in action.
I'm home!
Bae Dal, I have something to tell you.
Let go. You ruined my investment briefing.
It's all your fault.
I have something that can make up for all of that.
Forget it. How are you going to make up for it?
By any chance, do you take large orders, too?
Stop joking around. What? What did you say? Large orders?
Is that what you said? Large orders?
Seriously?
Darling! Darling! Darling!
Darling! Big news! I have amazing news!
We have a large order. It's for 100 people!
What? What are you talking about?
We got a large order for 100 people?
That's right. Ma Ru got his friend's company...
to order our gimbap for their corporate outing.
Gosh, this guy is really thoughtful.
A guy like him is hard to come by these days.
Stop it, Bae Dal.
That's great. This can be the real start of your business.
Gosh, what should we do? Where do we start?
What are we going to do? I'm so happy right now!
Gosh, calm down first.
Hey, are you done with pan-frying the eggs?
Look at that! Did you burn the eggs?
Do we have enough laver sheets?
Bae Dal, this one got ripped on the side.
Goodness.
Are they going to stay up all night making their gimbap?
They're keeping us up! I'm going to go and tell them...
Stop it. Just let them.
- They're working so hard. - Goodness.
What if we get super rich through our gimbap business?
I can't take this. I can't take this any more.
Wait. Wait, Mi Dal...
Listen. Don't you think this is too inconsiderate?
I need to sleep!
You can do this in the kitchen.
The kitchen is too small for all of us to work together.
Gosh, I'm getting sleepy. I should go to bed now.
Don't be so heartless.
Watching my pregnant daughter...
staying up all night running around like a chicken without a head...
is tearing my heart into pieces.
You should really be helping us right now.
I'm speechless. How much can you make off gimbap?
I'm just worried that it won't even pay for all the labour costs.
Uncle Bae Dal promised to pay me the minimum wage.
And you really shouldn't worry, Mum.
Bom, Ma Ru and Grandma are all volunteering. They don't want money.
Mi Dal, please understand. It's not like we do this every day.
We're working so hard to earn a living.
We'll finish it as soon as possible.
I'm saying this as someone who has a super sensitive palate.
I think their gimbap will be a huge hit!
That's right. Who knows?
After this order, they could open their first store,
and additional locations might pop up everywhere!
- Ma Ru, thanks for your kind words. - Goodness.
I can't believe you people.
I shall kick all of you out of my house. Goodness.
Ta-da! Look at me.
Wow! That hat is making you look even more handsome.
- Is that right? - Totally.
I'll deliver this first and be sure to make a new regular customer.
- What's this sound? - Gosh.
Oh, no. What is going on?
Is it raining outside now?
Seriously?
Hey.
There's a torrential downpour right now.
I don't think the corporate outing can happen. Call and find out.
Get with the programme. These days, most outdoor events...
get moved to indoor venues in severe weather conditions.
You're so clueless.
Watch.
Hello? Yes.
I'm about to leave to deliver the gimbap.
Pardon me?
Please hold. Please don't hang up.
Yes, that's right. I'm leaving now.
I'm leaving this second. Open the door! I'm leaving!
Open the door. Open it quickly!
My goodness.
What should we do?
I can't believe what happened. I got there...
and saw a sign saying "cancelled due to rain".
There was not a single soul at the venue.
You idiot! And you just came straight back here?
You should've gone to the person who placed the order...
and demanded to be compensated for the ingredients at least!
I tried calling, but there was no answer. What was I supposed to do?
We stayed up all night and worked so hard. I can't believe this.
Goodness, what a mess.
I can't accept this.
I, Lee Bae Dal, can't fail like this.
I'm going to sell all of these in front of the subway station!
- Bae Dal! - Hey, wait!
- Where are you going? Wait for me! - Hey, Bae Dal!
Gosh, those two! What are they going to do?
It's sad.
I have to make the same wine because I'm worried that...
the company might try to ruin my wine again.
The act of making wine is a therapeutic process...
that should be approached with reverence and joy.
If you're uncomfortable, I can work alone here at the workroom.
I'm sure I can watch the recording and follow what you do.
It's okay.
Working on making wine together with you here...
will become a cherished memory.
Oh, you're here, Bom.
I'm transferred to the branch in the States.
Does that mean I can't see you any more?
That's sad.
Or not. It might be a good thing.
Okay. I see.
That's not all. Ma Ru has been transferred as well.
He's going to work in the States with me.
Pardon?
It's a good opportunity for him.
The other employees are eager to work in the States.
Ma Ru didn't even request for it.
- And he has been transferred. - Bom, I've been...
transferred to the branch in the States.
Congratulations.
I heard that there were a lot of applicants.
I will never work with you.
I'll request for cancellation.
Don't you know that you'll get fired if you refuse the transfer order?
I'm sad that you're going back to the States so soon.
I feel bad that I asked you to come, but I didn't take care of you.
Mr An.
I know. I wanted to stay in Korea longer.
Thank you for transferring me with Mr Kang.
The buyers in the States trust Mr Kang,
and he and I will create good teamwork.
Right. Good luck.
You two just got married. How can you be separated?
It's clear what Ms Song intends to do.
You can't let Ma Ru go with her.
But I can't just ask him to quit his job.
Don't be silly.
We have to stop them from going to the States together.
If we can't do that, I will ask Mr An for a favour.
You can't change the company's decision for your personal reason.
Ms Song.
Didn't you ask to transfer you...
with Mr Kang to feed your greed, I mean, your evil mind?
Whatever you do to seduce Ma Ru won't make him love you.
You can't break us up.
You had better stop with your petty tricks.
The more you do it, the smaller you'll look.
Hey, what makes you so sure about that?
Shame on you.
- Bom. - Ma Ru.
Go to the States.
It's a good opportunity.
Promote traditional Korean wines...
I won't go. I will ask to cancel the transfer order.
We just got married. We can't live separately.
It's too far to come to see you whenever I want to.
You don't have a choice.
You'll get fired if you don't go.
I don't want you to go, either.
I am upset, too.
- Bom. - Ma Ru.
How could they separate a newly-wed couple who just got married?
Don't worry. I won't go.
You should go.
It means that Ma Ru has gotten recognition at work.
Isn't Ma Ru amazing?
A married couple...
should stay together and share affection for each other.
Work and success...
should be followed by a happy marriage.
What's the point of being successful when you're not happy?
You are absolutely right.
Tae Joon, is there anything you can do to help them?
Bae Dal said that Poongildang's president is intimidated by you.
But I can't meddle in...
personnel affairs.
Will you just sit back and watch them being separated?
I'm home.
Ma Ru, are you really...
going to the States?
I know that the witch did a trick.
Everyone in the company knows that.
Who do you mean?
You know the woman who tried to stop them from getting married.
What? Hasn't she given up on Ma Ru?
Bom, why didn't you do something?
She must be looking down on you.
That's why she's going after him.
It's not Bom's fault, Mother.
You should've rejected her firmly.
How could you let her think she can steal you from her?
Mum, why are you yelling at Ma Ru? He didn't do anything wrong.
We're already upset.
Why would you make it worse?
- Oh, my. - Bom.
- Gosh. - Wait.
I can't believe her.
Father, are you still up?
I have so many things to deal with.
Did you find out anything about Bom and the security camera?
There would be no problem if you don't do anything wrong.
I sounded her out, but she didn't seem to know anything about it.
If you're still worried, I will hire someone to investigate.
That's not necessary.
It'd cause more trouble if people know about the investigation.
I will go to work early tomorrow,
and search my office again.
Nothing happened for the past few days. I got even more anxious.
Where is Ah Ran? Why doesn't she eat with us?
I don't know what she's busy with. She made noises so early.
She left after setting the table.
Maybe she doesn't want to eat with me.
Mother, please.
She went to work early for a team meeting.
What kind of meeting do they have so early?
Anyway, let's eat.
Is that so?
Are you saying that she could be saved by the surgery?
Oh, I see. Yes. Thank you.
Please give me a call when you arrive in Korea.
Yes. Bye.
Good.
I should save her.
That's right. I should save her.
Where is Ms Choi?
We have no idea. We just came to work.
You just came? But you had a meeting this morning.
A meeting?
What meeting?
Nothing. Never mind.
Bom, I need to talk to you.
It's about your mother.
If you're talking about her leaving the company, I have nothing to say.
All right, then.
(President An Gil Soo)
Gil Soo, you don't have many days left to stay in this position.
She doesn't even know that her mother is dying.
Gosh.
I want to let others know that Ms Bae lost her sense of taste.
How about a blind taste test?
We can humiliate her in front of everyone,
and she won't be able to set her foot in Poongildang again.
Not again.
Who on earth is sending these messages?
Gil... Gil Soo.
Ah Ran.
What are you doing here?
I was...
I heard you had left home...
early this morning for a meeting.
In fact...
I felt like this was watching me the whole time.
I guess you knew about that.
Right?
Gil Soo.
How dare you?
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
- What is this? - What did you dream about?
I caught a large carp and put it on my skirt.
Doesn't it mean that you will have a baby?
There's no way I'll have a baby at my age.
I think I am right.
I think it'd be great to appoint Ms Bae as the vice-president.
That's ridiculous. She can't be the vice-president.
If all the executives agree, I will follow the decision.
What can you do as a vice-president while hiding your terminal illness?
Who says I'm going to die? I won't die.
Never.
