(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 18)
Did he really leave?
Is that his daughter?
She came all the way here?
She was Dad's daughter?
What do you mean Ji Ah's wallet is here?
What are you talking about?
Okay, I'll go get it.
Then should I wait here?
No, head home first.
I'll bring the wallet.
Have I been here before?
Who does she think she is? How dare she come here?
Hey!
Why are you here?
Let this go.
Are you my dad's other daughter?
Why are you doing this to me?
Are you trying to steal my dad away?
I said, let go.
Go! Get lost!
What's wrong with you?
I won't lose him to someone like you.
Why do you keep treating me like this?
I have nothing to say to you.
I heard you met Ji Ah.
Why didn't you tell me?
I knew you were irresponsible,
but you're really unbelievable.
How can a father leave his daughter like that?
Did something happen to Ji Ah?
Why are you asking me?
Go see for yourself.
Go take care of your own child.
What happened to her?
Why do you live like this?
You can't even take care of your child.
You should go.
I'll be right back.
- Don't go. - Ah Ran...
I don't want to send you off to a person like that.
I'm sorry, but I have my reasons.
If you leave now, I'll never see you again.
Even if you die, I won't even go to your funeral.
Ah Ran, that's enough.
I'm telling you not to leave!
How can he bring her here?
It's not like I made things up,
why are you so upset?
Why are you pushing me?
Thanks for your work last night.
What?
Isn't that the girl who begged to get into Poongildang last time?
You too.
Why does she keep showing up in my life...
and bothering me with everything?
Why?
What is going on?
Why is she calling me her dad's daughter?
But seriously, what does she have against me?
I'm speechless.
I'll take care of Ah Ran.
You should leave.
Ah Ran says,
she won't see me if I go now.
You were fine leaving her when she was just a child.
What's stopping you now?
How can one leave their children?
My heart broke because of her.
- Back then, I... - Don't bother. Just go.
Go and live like how you have been living all this time.
Just consider us dead.
But Ah Ran won't let me go.
How can I go when she's begging me not to go?
So what do you suppose you should do?
I'm not sure.
I can't leave Ah Ran behind.
I can't leave Ji Ah alone either.
What should I do?
It's your own fault.
Why did you make a mess you can't even clean up?
You're right. It's my fault.
It's all my fault.
When we lost Pa Ran, I was heartbroken as much as you.
But why did you just run away from it like that?
I told you then...
that we should wait together.
That we should endure it together.
I was so stupid.
It's because I'm such a fool.
I'm so sorry.
If you left like that, at least you should have lived well.
Sit.
Don't ignore me and listen carefully.
There's an order for everything.
The only way you'll live is to take care of Ah Ran first,
and then to persuade Gook Hee.
I'll be back.
Stop running around.
I just told you, you must take care of Ah Ran first.
You have to make sure Ah Ran feels better...
so that you can bring in Ji Ah.
Mum, that's enough.
Ah Ran isn't my only child.
Ji Ah is my kid too, and Ma Ru too.
Wake up!
Stop being so stubborn. You'll lose all your children this way...
and have us get kicked out to the streets.
Then what should I do with them?
Does this old mother have to teach a grown-up man...
how he should live?
I told you a million times.
You have to be capable to raise kids.
So we must find a solution here.
First,
just until Ah Ran calms down,
Jung Mi and I will take care of Ji Ah.
So stay here and look after Ah Ran.
And there's that...
tall boy...
she calls brother, too.
Ma Ru, it's so hard to reach you.
Sorry I was working.
I'm sorry.
Both of you are suffering because of me.
Don't say things like that.
Ma Ru...
Did something happen?
No,
but how is Ji Ah doing?
She was sick, but Bom took care of her.
She's doing better now.
I don't even have the right to say that I'm glad.
Dad, did something really happen?
No, nothing at all.
I just feel as though I'm guilty...
of putting you two into so much trouble.
Ma Ru, please take good care of Ji Ah.
Dad.
What's going on?
Oh? How come you're out here and not sleeping?
I don't know.
I used to be able to fall asleep easily with just playing basketball.
These days, although I get exhausted from working,
I find it hard to fall asleep.
Don't think too much.
When you go on with your life, you get hopeful on some days,
and there are days that you hit the bottom too.
If we keep at it and continue going through all this,
we'll get somewhere soon. Don't you think so?
Will we?
Right now, I'm working to pay off the debt,
and you're living in a tiny room at someone else's bar,
but don't you think that the only thing we can do now...
is not to lose hope?
When I see you, I always get the courage I need.
But did something happen to you?
You don't look like you're in a good mood.
No, nothing happened.
Did you have a fight with someone?
I said I'm fine.
Hey, you know that we're working together tomorrow, right?
If you miss it again, I'll be very angry.
How can I not do as you say?
Why does it feel so hot in this room?
You're home? Where's my wallet?
Sorry, I couldn't find the house.
I told you that I'd go.
Okay. Let's talk tomorrow morning. Get some sleep now.
Bom, thanks.
Even my dad abandoned me. But you...
Just sleep now.
Gosh, Bom always forgets...
when it's her turn to make breakfast and sleeps in.
What can I do to teach her a lesson?
Are you not going to wake up?
I told you.
We don't have money, so we should be hard-working to better our lives.
We would still be struggling even if you start your day...
earlier than other people, but you sleep in like this?
Seriously, Mum.
You're being too harsh on me for sleeping in a little bit.
Gosh, Mum! This is like abuse!
- Shall I post on the internet? - Yes.
Go ahead and write all about me on the internet, you brat.
By the way, you.
Why are you here?
Well, Bom...
She caught a cold because of you, so I let her sleep in my room.
What?
Are you now in my house because that room isn't enough for you?
They say that beggars choose whom they beg,
and even dogs choose which bowls to eat from.
How dare you get into my daughters' room...
and sleep here?
I'm sorry.
Mum, you're being way too harsh.
- Ji Ah, hold on. - You...
Don't let her fall for your sympathy.
If you can't take responsibility for it, just mind your own business...
and stop confusing her.
After putting us in this situation,
Dad is staying at her house?
Gosh.
So, you've been planning all this time to move in here alone.
Mum passed away, so you're leaving us...
to go back to your wealthy ex-wife?
Fine, Dad. Live a great life here.
Live happily ever after.
Here. This is a gift for you from your daughter whom you abandoned.
I hope you like it.
Gosh, my goodness.
What kind of psycho throws garbage here and runs away?
That's...
Oh? That's Ji Ah.
Ji Ah! Ji Ah!
Mum, Mum! What are we going to do, Mum?
Gosh, stop making so much fuss.
My head is already hurting because of your brother.
This isn't the time you should be...
wiping the floor like this right now.
Ji Ah, that brat...
Gosh, did she come here again?
She did. But she didn't come alone...
She gathered garbage from the entire town...
and threw it in front of the house.
What are you talking about now?
She did what with garbage?
My goodness.
Gosh, that girl must be really angry.
What did I tell you?
I told you that we can't leave those two kids in that tiny room.
What are you going to do now?
If Ji Ah becomes furious and raids here,
there will be a war.
If that happens, we won't be able to worry about Jung Ki...
because we'll get kicked out too...
and won't be able to come near this house ever again.
My goodness, then what should we do?
But she's just a little girl,
so she won't really do anything too extreme, will she?
Mum, do you not know Ji Ah's nasty temper?
She threw the garbage here...
as a way of declaring a war against us.
My goodness, how could things get this complicated?
His eldest daughter is using all her strength...
to make Jung Ki stay here...
while his younger daughter...
throws garbage at the house knowing that he's in there now.
Ouch, ouch. My head hurts, my head.
My head...
Look at Ah Ran. She received the herbal remedies.
"Thank you so much for this."
She should get in touch with me to thank me.
But she still hasn't called at all.
I told you not to do it if you were expecting something in return.
What I'm saying is right though.
If her future mother-in-law did something for her,
she should at least know to be grateful as a daughter-in-law.
I'm not asking for too much, aren't I?
Stop bothering Ah Ran pretending that you care about her.
And her grandmother is staying at their house right now,
so don't walk in and out of the house as if it's your own.
My goodness. Why should I care about her grandmother?
She's nobody.
She's the mother of Gook Hee's ex-husband who left her,
so she has no power.
Let's drop this.
I calculate my moves before I decide to do anything with anyone.
In that household, who else should we really care about...
except for Gook Hee?
Ah Ran will be our daughter-in-law when she marries Tae Ho.
It's only a matter of time...
that Tae Ho will succeed Poongildang.
Stop it already.
Do you want your bigmouth to get you in trouble?
Why are you yelling at me?
Who else would I say these things to besides you?
Gosh, you can't even stand your wife talking.
Gosh...
Why did you choose that colour for your tie?
Mr Jung. I agree that Ah Ran pushed it a little too far, but...
it was to increase the revenue that went down in the last quarter.
Please forgive her.
Mr An.
If you go on this way, you might have to take the responsibility.
I'm going to hang up now.
Mr Jung, Mr...
(List of Executives, Poongildang)
The rumour has spread throughout the company.
Director Choi has submitted a resignation letter.
What? If that's the case, Is she...
taking responsibility for everything?
I don't really know.
You know everything, Mi Jin.
You should've rested for a few more days.
I'm responsible for this mess, so how could I rest?
Don't think that way.
For this project, many people in the company are rooting for you.
Thanks for saying that.
Until my resignation letter is processed,
I'm still the Director of Poongildang, Choi Ah Ran.
I shall do my work even if I'll end up being fired soon.
Lee Bae Dal. This is the final warning.
If you step out once again during the working hours,
you'll get kicked out only wearing your underwear.
Mi Dal, do you think I'll leave just because you're kicking me out?
I have my share of 1,300 dollars in Bar Chowon.
That darn 1,300 dollars.
You always talk about your share.
Why did you come back after running off like that?
I'll work hard from now on.
What are you talking about?
I'll live here as long as you let us eat and sleep here.
What's wrong with you?
Live here?
I allowed you to use that storage for the meantime,
but I never told you that you could live here forever.
I have nowhere else to go.
And Dad won't come back either.
Why not?
He ran away.
He ran away?
What do you mean?
My dad left us behind and ran away.
Wait, you need to explain more.
What happened?
Did he really leave you behind...
and run away?
This is a big problem.
Mi Dal, we should be careful.
Making their dad work might send you to prison.
I said, explain!
Please don't ask me anymore.
What?
I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry. - You!
What's wrong with you?
Hey!
Where did your dad run off to?
Is he being chased by loan sharks?
No, it's not that.
Then what?
I haven't seen him for days.
So he did run away!
He left the two of you here...
and ran away to save himself.
He had something to take care of.
I think he'll be back tomorrow.
Don't lie to me.
Look, look...
Now that her dad's gone,
she's trying so hard...
to do everything she can to stay here.
I'm telling you the truth, he said he'll be back soon.
Why am I so unlucky? What did I do so wrong?
Why do I only have someone else's kids under my roof?
Why is this happening to me?
Dad is never coming back.
Don't you know?
He never intended to live here with us.
Don't say that, you know he had to go there to take care of something.
Stop doubting him.
What? Do you really believe that?
You really don't know him, do you?
All Dad ever did was photography,
he's never done anything else in his life.
And now that Mum's dead,
do you think he'd stay with us and work for a living?
But he's still our dad.
I checked everything.
He already considered living there from the start.
Grandma and Aunt are already living there.
You and I were fools, trusting him like that.
He's not interested in taking care of us.
Ji Ah, I'm sure that's not true.
It's just the two of us now.
We have to try really hard so we don't get kicked out from here.
Got it?
I've thought about it and this won't work.
Pack your stuff and leave now.
But...
What do you mean?
Get out now.
No need to talk anymore. Let's go.
Please,
we'll really work hard, please.
I don't need it. Get out.
I don't need your overdue rent. So just get going.
Please, I'll work hard. I promise.
I won't slack around.
Couldn't you let us stay just until Dad returns?
Forget it, I can't take in anymore orphans.
Go!
Then I could work during the day then manage the bar at night...
I told you, get lost!
What are you doing?
Why in the world did you bring these homeless...
in the first place?
Please stop it.
Now that I look at it, they're just like...
I mean they're trying to sponge off of me...
like leeches!
If you could let us stay until Ji Ah's cold is better...
I'll pay for the rent.
Do you even have money?
Yes, I'm begging you.
I'm sorry about my mum.
But she's letting us stay now that I'm paying rent.
She's my mum, but she's hard for even me to understand.
She was trying to kick you out, but when we told her we had work,
she asked you to pay rent in advance.
I stayed in a motel before coming to your place so I know.
You should pay in advance for a room.
I know it's hard, but try to understand her.
She's not normally so mean. It's because of all the debt.
I know, but at least I'm not getting kicked out.
And I'm glad we can continue working as cleaners for Poongildang.
I'll do that room over there, so meet me at the rooftop later.
Okay.
It's all his fault but his kids are the ones suffering.
If they're left like that, they'll either starve or freeze to death.
They're about to go out into the street having to beg for food.
I don't want to send you off to a person like that.
I'm sorry, but I have my reasons.
If you leave now, I'll never see you again.
Even if you die,
I won't go to your funeral.
Why do so many kids have to suffer...
because of you?
You're really...
I'm not sure.
I can't leave Ah Ran behind.
I can't leave Ji Ah alone either.
What should I do?
It's your own fault.
Why did you make a mess you can't even clean up?
You're right, it's my fault.
It's all my fault.
Are you all right?
Who are you?
I was told to clean this room first.
I see.
It's not bad, so if you put your hand in cold water...
and apply some ointment, you'll be fine.
Thank you.
I'm fine, so you should get back to work.
It's you!
What are you doing here?
I'm on cleaning duty again.
I see.
But how was the other job I introduced you to?
It went well, thanks to you.
You're such a hard worker.
Here, this is to show my thanks for introducing me a job.
Don't worry about it. You need it to work.
Well, if there is another job, please let me know.
- Bom? - Take it.
Now that I took your bribe, I guess I have to look for one.
Thank you.
Who is that? Do you know him?
He's the one who introduced me to that traditional bar last time.
Why are you acting like you are best friends?
He might contact me if there's another job.
We can find work on our own.
What's wrong? It'd be nice if we have options.
Eat this.
Forget it.
Aren't you hungry?
I said, forget it.
Hey, Ma Ru!
What's wrong with him?
(ID Card, Choi Ji Ah)
Hello?
Is this Ji Ah?
Who is this?
It's me.
How are you feeling?
Why are you calling me?
If it's about the wallet, you can just throw it out.
Meet up for what?
Are you going to pay me for taking away my dad?
I said forget it.
Gosh.
What kind of phone manner is that?
Is someone volunteering to pay you...
for taking your dad away?
Mind your own business.
How dare she call my name?
She sure has a temper. Well, that's all she has.
Hello.
Yes.
I think she left her phone here and stepped out.
I'm not sure who you are,
but please do something about her.
Her dad left his kids at someone else's bar...
and disappeared.
What's really going on here?
I'm frustrated too, but he basically turned his kids into orphans.
Gosh, I feel so bad for them that I can't look at them in the eye.
I see, he is causing you a lot of inconvenience.
I apologise.
This is the blanket you used last night when you sweated in sleep,
so wash it and dry it.
Don't spread the cold virus to my family.
Okay.
You know that you have to wash dishes and mop the floor...
at the bar after finishing this, right?
Yes.
Gosh, Mum. Don't you think you're being too harsh?
It's not like she's our maid.
You brat. Did they just use the room at the bar?
I gave them food on top of providing them a space to sleep in.
They spent so much of my money by staying here.
I'm being very easy on her because I'm just making her do this.
Wash it well!
Okay.
This is what your father used to do here,
so you know that it now has become your job, right?
Wash it until it shines, okay?
Why? Are you mad at me?
If you don't want to do it, just move out of the room right away.
I said I'll do it. I'm doing it now as you can see.
You know that you have more to do after this, right?
Let's see if you can stay here even when I treat you this way.
Mum, can you see from up above?
Can you see how my life is now?
When you were alive, I didn't even have to wash the floor in my room.
What's this now?
I'm mopping the floor at a bar.
I had no idea that my life without you would be so miserable.
This is what it's like to live without a mum.
Ji...
Dad has no idea that I'm doing this right now,
and he went to live happily with another woman.
He left me here like this...
I had no idea that my life without you would be so miserable.
This is what it's like to live without a mum.
Why is Ma Ru mad at me?
What did I do?
Oh, Bom!
Yes.
Mum is so cruel.
She made Ji Ah wash a blanket in cold water at our place.
Go stop Mum.
I couldn't watch what she was doing to Ji Ah because I was tearing up.
Mum is seriously...
I'm going to the academy, so I'll be home late tonight.
Okay, I'll see you at home.
Gosh...
Is something wrong with your hand?
That's all you can do?
I'll try harder.
Welcome.
Get up. Let's go.
I said I don't want to!
Let's go.
Why are you doing this to me? Who do you think you are?
I'm...
your mum.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
For Ji Ah's future,
you should've sent her there.
Because you're not their family, you'll make Ji Ah suffer here too?
Wow, she's confident about herself.
That's why she came to get me.
I can't tolerate it. No, I won't tolerate it.
- Excuse me, who are you? - What?
What's this here?
Did you just called me "this"?
I came to meet the owner of this company. Let go of me.
Could you please stop the disciplinary committee at least?
I decided to respect the executives' decision.
I don't think they will be easy on her.
I cannot accept this.
You're not reflecting on your wrongdoings and are lecturing at us?
You're fired as of now.
I'm here because I have something to tell the executives.
I gave the factory the production order without Ah Ran's approval.
Isn't this a photo of me from when I was a kid?
But who is this girl next to me?
How would I know?
She's taller, so she must be older than me.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
