(Episode 15)
Hello?
What?
You just talked to Ms Bae?
Are you crazy? Why did you talk to her about that?
Goodness!
Mum...
Choi Ah Ran.
What is this about?
- Mum... - What have you done?
I think the factory had a misunderstanding.
Tell me the truth.
Please don't get angry and listen to me.
Did you really...
make the alcohol with artificial additives without telling me?
Well...
You told me...
they were for tasting and that they don't even have labels.
Yes, that's right.
I made it for the staff to taste.
How can you keep on lying to me?
They even have the order form from you.
And yet, you're still trying to cover it up?
Stop...
trying to fool me.
I want a report of everything you did so far.
I'm not sure if I can trust you.
Mum...
What am I going to do now?
How can she do this to me?
Mum.
I wasn't trying to fool you.
I just wanted to do well on this project.
Like you said, I was too greedy.
What are you doing?
Please, listen to me.
Mum...
Mum!
Let go of me.
What is that?
It's nothing.
It's just some samples.
Production of renewal samples?
I think they misunderstood.
It's not a product for consumers.
I made it for the staff to taste.
Really?
Of course.
I asked them to make just a few without any labels.
If I was going to release it,
I would have never done that.
It's a misunderstanding.
Why would she do that?
How could she do this to me?
Mum.
You're right.
I lied.
But have you thought about why I had to lie?
So, are you saying...
what you did was right?
You never trusted me to begin with.
But I was really confident...
about the new product's renewal.
I wanted to succeed, even if I had to hide it from you.
And I wanted to be accepted from the results.
Do you think that's a legitimate reason?
The office is not your playground.
You broke down Poongildang's values and beliefs...
and you think it's all right to do whatever you want?
Then would you have accepted it if I had asked you honestly?
No, you wouldn't have.
You don't care about my opinions.
That's because your opinions are wrong.
Mum.
Do you even understand the project I've been working on?
You probably don't.
Because all you do is sit here...
and think about the tradition of...
Poongildang and how to protect it.
You're so arrogant. All you care about is to protect the company.
Is this what you felt towards Poongildang while working here?
I know...
I know how hard you worked to establish Poongildang.
Building up may take a long time,
but breaking down will only be a moment.
Just like how you lost Pa Ran in a moment.
Shut your mouth.
I'm not as selfish as you.
You lost Pa Ran while doing the work you love,
but it seems that I might lose everything...
while trying to save the company.
How is this saving the company?
It's your greed.
Can't I be greedy about my own company?
Ms Bae.
I received a call from the board.
They're calling for an emergency meeting.
All right.
I made things worse.
I shouldn't have made her upset.
I made an appointment with the hospital.
They'll take a look at your hand.
But you should also get some tests done while you're there.
That's not important right now.
You should take care of yourself when you're busy.
Do you know what just happened?
What happened?
Do I have to explain it to you every single time?
You must know how much...
I wanted to do this project...
and what I was thinking while leading it.
Don't beat around the bush. Just spit it out.
I thought you would follow me in my beliefs.
But you never found out what I was thinking.
Is there a problem with the new project?
Did you do something on your own without consent?
None of this would've happened if you had helped.
That's...
I really don't know...
if you're the right person for me.
Ah Ran...
Please leave me alone.
I knew that would happen.
Director Choi finally made a huge mistake.
I knew she'd stumble sooner or later.
What are you talking about?
I heard from the secretary's office...
that she was producing a new product with artificial additives...
which was found out by Ms Bae.
Really?
I heard they'll fire...
all those involved with this.
What will happen to us?
Are they going to fire us?
What is this?
Director Choi is the one at fault here.
We have nothing to do with it.
Why did she work so irresponsibly?
Have you heard of the rumour going around in the office?
What are you talking about?
Do you really not know?
Director Choi was going to release a new product with...
artificial additives behind Ms Bae's back...
but was caught in the process.
So our team is in trouble.
Are you sure?
Well, that's what we heard.
Wait!
Did he really not know?
That was your misunderstanding.
I asked for a test product.
That order was a mistake.
Hello? Hey!
Gosh.
Why did he have to tell her and make all this trouble?
Ah Ran.
How will you fix what Director Choi did?
She deceived the company.
We can't let her off just because she's the president's daughter.
She needs to be laid off.
Without a proper hearing from Director Choi,
don't you think this is too much just based on rumours?
I have the evidence right here.
It's the order form that Director Choi sent to the factory...
to start the production line.
I'm sorry I made you worry.
Mr An,
were you really not aware of what was happening?
Keeping your mouth closed isn't going to solve anything.
It's not too late to tell us the truth.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
- What is this? - Please read this report first.
It's a study done on the satisfaction levels of consumers...
on products with artificial additives.
What do you think you're doing?
It's my fault...
for not informing you sooner.
But it's a decision based on thorough research.
I was going to present it to everyone.
We don't want to hear more excuses, so please leave.
You shouldn't walk in here freely.
Ms Bae, please take a look at the report first.
Please leave!
If this project succeeds,
we can recover from...
the revenues we lost during the last quarter.
- Escort her out. - Ms Bae.
Ms Bae! Please.
(Letter of resignation)
Gosh, that's so funny.
Gosh, I don't like...
anything Gook Hee does,
but she makes really great wine.
Of course. She has to be good at that at least.
Has she ever been loved by her husband or pleased by her children?
Her life has been devoted to making great traditional wine.
Come to think of it, I feel bad for her as a woman.
Why do you feel bad for her?
Her business became big because she lived like that.
People call her boss, so I'd say that she succeeded in life.
Gook Hee, you're back. Did you eat?
Gosh...
In this bad economy,
you're working so hard for your family and for your business.
Is Ah Ran home...
by any chance?
Well, she said she was going to work this morning,
so I told her to just take the day off and rest at home.
But she left for work and hasn't come home yet.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Ah Ran, please answer the phone.
Let's think together to come up with a strategy.
There must be a way.
There are some executives who are supportive of you.
Ah Ran. Please answer the phone.
Bom...
She used to listen to me when I scolded her as a kid.
Now that she's older,
she wants to do whatever she wants.
Mum, give me your white clothes for laundry.
Are you going to stay at home and not go to work today?
I'll figure it out myself.
I won't forget about the interest, so don't worry.
Gosh...
Before you do the laundry, clean the room first.
Okay.
My goodness, what is this?
Mum!
Mum! What is it?
What? It's nothing.
Are you okay? Did you see a rat?
I said it's nothing.
You won't have a problem with paying the interest?
The deadline is coming up. How much have you saved?
We'll be in trouble if you can't pay the interest.
You'll be legally responsible for everything.
Do you think I'm a piggy bank or something?
Stop nagging about money all the time.
Gosh. Isn't this a diamond?
I guess this is the ring Bom needs to give back.
It fits me perfectly.
If only it was mine.
I heard this is what the widower's deceased wife left behind.
Why would a dead person need her ring back?
Jewellery is meant to be worn by people who are alive.
It's so dazzling.
I'm home.
Oh hey, Ga Eul.
Where did you go so early in the morning?
I need to find a job and make some money.
I went to check out classes for professional hair styling.
Gosh, you're setting your foot...
into this tough world now.
I'll be your mentor from now on.
My mentor?
By the way, do you have any money?
The fee for the class is very expensive.
Of course I don't have any money.
If I had money,
I would've already moved out of your mum's house.
Right, I should've known better.
Don't be discouraged.
Bom. Ask Bom.
You won't be able to get a single penny out of your mum.
But I'm sure Bom would help you with the class fee even if...
she doesn't have money for herself.
That's all in the past.
After I lost the ring, I can't even talk to her at all.
So, just tell her about it so that you can feel better at least.
My goodness, I can't tell her about it because it's so expensive.
I wouldn't be able to afford it even if I work for three years.
Oh? Mi Dal.
Yes.
What's that on your hand? I haven't seen it before.
Did you buy it?
What are you talking about?
The one you're holding. It looks brand new.
Try it on. The colour is nice.
- Forget about it. - What?
Hey, your mum...
just loves ignoring us.
She has always treated us this way.
We're not needed in this household.
So, this is that expensive?
My goodness, you startled me.
Jung Ki.
What's up with your work attitude these days?
You keep disappearing during the work hours.
I told you to make some radish kimchi...
but you haven't even touched the radishes.
I'll make it now.
And please clean the washroom and the storage room.
After your family moved in, this place started smelling funny.
Mi Dal. What do you mean it smells funny?
You're treating us like cockroaches.
If you really think about it, you're getting help from us.
My dad works for 18 hours a day at the bar.
Ji Ah, stop it.
Stop what?
She looks down on us because you won't stand up for yourself.
Are you aware that this is exploitation and illegal employment?
You work my dad like a dog...
and you don't even pay him the minimum hourly wage.
I'm speechless.
They say that some people just don't know the grace of others.
I took you beggars in because you had nowhere to go...
and you're going to rob me of my money now?
Did you say beggars?
Never mind that.
If you don't like it here, feel free to leave.
You always threaten us to leave.
Okay. Even if we're going to leave now,
we should do the math right.
Calculate the accumulated wages, including overtime pay. Pay my dad.
Then, we'll pay you for renting the room too.
Ji Ah, are you really going to keep going on about this?
Look at her. What a brat.
Apologise to Mi Dal now.
I don't want to.
My goodness. I should just ignore her.
Gosh, seriously.
Dad, why do you act like that?
You dragged me home, so you're going to take responsibility, right?
Take responsibility for what?
Be thankful that you're not kicked out of here naked.
Then, I'll leave again.
I'll leave my clothes behind if that's what you want.
My goodness.
Why are you acting like this?
You brat!
What did you just say?
Well...
If you want to move out and live on your own,
I'm not going to stop you.
That's not what I meant.
Then, tell me.
What will you do?
I can only know what you're thinking if you tell me.
Please allow me to become a musician.
Is that so? I see.
I don't want to go back to Canada...
and I don't think I'm cut out for studying.
Anything else?
Kids who pursue music are supported by their parents these days.
I don't even expect much.
All I need is a new guitar...
and a room to practice.
You can do that for me, right?
Is that all you want?
There are always more as long as you're willing.
What's wrong with you?
Give me your wallet.
I'm so broke.
Honey, stop. Why are you doing this?
What are you doing?
If my kid won't listen to me,
what else can I do?
- Dad! - Let go.
Do whatever you want from now on.
But don't even think about asking us for money.
Do you understand?
- Honey. - Dad...
Did Director Choi come here?
Why would she come here?
Could you give me a call...
if she shows up?
What's going on?
We just followed her orders...
to make a product with artificial additives.
Now she's saying that she never ordered us.
I never thought of her that way,
but she's irresponsible and not trustworthy.
I'm sorry.
Ah Ran.
Did she go back to the office?
I have nowhere else to go other than here.
You made me into a fool who only knows Poongildang.
And now you're kicking me out?
(Director Choi Ah Ran)
Where in the world did she go?
(Looking for workers)
What is this? Why does it pay so well?
Should I call them just in case?
Bom, what are you doing?
What do you think? I'm looking for another part-time job.
I'm just trying to make some extra money.
Do you really want to work at these places?
Look at this.
These are nothing but fraud.
This is illegal telemarketing.
And this has to do with adult entertainment.
On top of that, this one is voice phishing.
I never said I would go there.
I'm just researching.
There is no job in the world that's easy to do and pays well.
I never said I was looking for an easy job.
I'm just trying to make a living.
That doesn't mean you should work at these places.
Do you even know my situation?
Do you know how suffocated I feel?
I need money and I need a lot of it.
If I don't make that money soon, I'll have bad credit forever.
I might go crazy trying to...
pay back this month's interest.
I never said I'd do anything.
I'm just checking what's available.
He doesn't know anything.
I'm sorry. I was just worried.
Why do you care?
He's not even my father.
What a joke.
He's always yelling at me.
And he's nosy too.
Hi, Myung Ji.
It's hard to even get a part-time job.
Yes.
Who would hire someone like me?
My resume is not as fancy as other people.
What? Really?
They'll pay you two dollars more per hour.
So get ready now.
Okay. I'll be right there.
I'll call you in a bit.
The income is always the same,
but I have so many bills to pay.
Hey.
Why is the utility charge so high this month?
Do you guys keep the lights on all night or something?
What? No...
I'm telling you to save electricity.
Just because it's not your home, don't waste it.
Consider every drop of water precious...
and don't waste any.
I understand. I'm sorry.
You got that?
Bom is always thinking of others...
instead of herself.
What a waste of time.
I wasn't going to mention this,
but when Bom was working part-time before,
she worked hard and earned a lot of money.
But ever since you showed up,
you two go around in pairs...
and don't get anything done.
I'm sorry.
So when there are no customers, turn off the lights.
- You got that? - Yes.
Gosh.
That was close.
I knew it was too good to be true.
He could have mistaken me as a thief.
It scares me when I'm wearing it...
but it's too beautiful to store it away.
What shall I do?
How should I apologise?
Yes, okay.
Okay. I'll be right there.
No one pays that well nowadays.
I'll be rich tonight thanks to you.
Okay.
What kind of work is it that you have to work all night?
None of your business.
That's true.
But it's not from one of those flyers, is it?
What's wrong with you?
Mind your own business.
I'm not trying to be nosy.
I'm just worried about you.
No matter how much money you need, there are things you shouldn't do.
Did you ever have to worry about paying back debt in your life?
Try putting yourself in my shoes for once.
You think you have it rough, don't you?
You probably think that life couldn't get any worse.
But I'm sorry to break the news for you. You have it easy.
If you're desperate like me, you would do anything to make money.
I'm willing to do anything as long as I don't end up in jail.
But you still shouldn't.
Don't tell me what to do with my life.
Bom, I'm so disappointed in you.
I think we're too different.
So all we do is fight when we're together.
I don't want anything to do with you.
Let's try to avoid each other.
Fine.
I'll move out from the bar.
Do as you wish.
Dad, what do you think about moving out of here?
I agree. I couldn't agree more.
Why do you want to move suddenly?
It's not like...
we can afford a room right now.
We can stay at a motel for several days...
with the money I made from working part-time.
And the agency promised to connect me to other jobs.
I think we'll be able to manage.
I'll make money too.
I think I might get a job...
as the assistant teacher at a ballet school.
I know it's uncomfortable, but let's stay a while longer.
I know Mi Dal has a foul mouth, but she's not a bad person.
She even gives us apples to eat.
And she even gives us more meat in our soups.
Dad, she gave us rotten apples and meat full of fat.
She's just giving us the leftovers. There's nothing kind about that.
Ji Ah, don't take it the wrong way.
If we stay here, I'll have a job.
And in the meanwhile, you can prepare to go back to school.
I don't care. I'm going to move out.
Me too.
- Yes. - Jung Ki!
We have a huge problem.
What is it?
All right.
Did something happen?
You two stay here.
I'll be back.
Where are you going? Dad!
What's wrong with him?
I wonder what it's about.
I apologise for making you worry.
Please don't say that.
I think of Ah Ran like my own daughter.
She left her car at work, so she probably didn't go too far.
I'm sure she just stepped out to clear her mind.
You're right.
I'm sure she's fine.
Gosh...
How can she just lock herself up in her room when her daughter...
hasn't come home for a day?
What is going on?
I'm sure something is going on but she's not telling us anything.
- Jung Ki. - Where's Ah Ran?
- What's going on? - She's missing.
I heard that something happened at work yesterday.
And we can't get a hold of her ever since.
I don't think Gook Hee is even thinking about finding her.
What's going on?
I heard Ah Ran didn't come home.
It's nothing.
What do you mean it's nothing?
Gook Hee, what did you do to her?
I begged you.
I begged you to take good care of Ah Ran.
Does it make you happy when your children goes missing?
You lost Pa Ran already.
Are you going to lose Ah Ran as well?
- Gosh, my Ah Ran... - Mum, Mum...
My baby, where did you go...
Mum, let's go back into the room.
Gosh, this is stressing out Mum so much.
You must know of a few places where she could go to.
Well, that's...
I'm not really in the position to blame you,
but you're really heartless as a mother.
Ah Ran...
Jung Ki, where are you going?
I thought of a place.
Where is it? Let me come with you.
Do you think you'll be able to make her come back?
I'll go!
If something happens to my daughter,
I will never forgive you.
(Dad)
Why is he calling me now?
Did he ever care about me at all?
Ah Ran, please answer the phone.
(Tae Ho)
I don't need any of this.
It's all over now!
Ah Ran!
Ah Ran! Ah Ran.
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry, Ah Ran.
Ah Ran!
