(Episode 20)
Kang Ma Ru!
Thank you...
for coming with me.
I should be the one thanking you.
How can you leave without saying goodbye?
How can you do that?
Hey.
I found a job without the help of the agency.
You found a job?
What I'm saying is that I found a part-time job on my own.
I see. That's good news.
No matter where he goes, it'll be better than here.
Are you all right?
Hey!
I want to apologise.
Hey!
I heard they ran away.
What happened?
Run away? Who?
The kids in our storage. They left without saying goodbye.
Did their rich mum come for them?
You were always nagging at them to leave our place.
Aren't you happy?
You punk!
That's only when they were poor.
How can you let them go when they haven't paid a cent?
On top of that, their rich mum showed up.
Please stop speaking nonsense.
What does their rich mum have to do with us?
They don't owe us anything.
Of course they do!
They still need to pay for the tax.
You know that tall boy's number, right?
Call him and tell him to pay up.
Otherwise, I'll go find them to get the money.
Mum, please.
Please what?
There are people who dig for money.
Why do I have to lose what I'm entitled to?
Hey!
Be careful.
Stop overreacting. You're so immature.
Goodness.
Gosh.
I fed them and gave them a place to sleep...
and they left without an ounce of gratitude.
This is why you should never show kindness to people.
You always say that.
You say that to me all the time.
Do you even know what that means?
What?
Fine, make fun of your uneducated mother.
Read this.
Ma Ru left this behind.
What is it?
Thanks to you, we were able to survive.
"Although you were harsh with your words,"
"I could still feel your warm heart."
"Thank you for lending us clean clothes."
He just left a letter?
There's a line for me.
"Thank you for being on our side..."
"and for treating us as your relatives."
At least he's grateful.
"Ga Eul, thank you for taking care of Ji Ah when she was sick."
That's it?
He didn't say anything to you?
I guess he had nothing to thank me about.
So what are they going to do?
Do they think that a simple letter is going to solve everything?
What's the point of getting a letter...
when there's no money in it?
No one else in the world likes money as much as you, Mum.
I wonder why you're not rich yet.
Don't you know?
It's because I have to raise you...
and all I have left is an empty shell.
How upsetting.
No wonder she's the CEO of Poongildang.
There aren't good wives like her these days.
That's true.
I got married, had a kid...
and got a divorce but...
I wouldn't be able to do what she's done.
This isn't something one can do easily.
Goodness, my eldest daughter-in-law.
So you've made up your mind.
Thank you for bringing my second daughter-in-law's children.
Ji Ah, my puppy.
Why didn't you come sooner?
Why did you suffer outside?
Ji Ah, I'm sorry.
I'm not sure what to say.
Why aren't you coming in?
Look who it is.
Ma Ru!
Why is he here?
How dare you come here?
Ma Ru will live with us.
Good, you two are siblings so you should be together.
Why will he live here?
You and him are different.
Ma Ru will stay with us.
Why don't we let the kids settle in?
Ji Ah, you can share the room with your grandmother.
And I guess Ma Ru can share the room with you, Honey.
But there are empty rooms upstairs.
Why can't Ji Ah get a new room?
Mum.
Jung Ki, go after her and thank her at least.
No one in the world would do something like this...
except her.
Thank you.
To be honest,
I never imagined you'd bring the kids here.
I was going to leave as soon as Ah Ran calmed down.
How did you plan on living?
How were you planning on feeding the kids?
You'll only make them suffer.
I'm too ashamed of myself to say thank you.
I didn't do it for you.
I did it so that I can rest easy.
They reminded me of Pa Ran.
That's why I brought them here.
Every night before bed,
I pray that Pa Ran is doing well with a good family.
But it would be hypocritical of me to leave Ji Ah alone.
Sometimes...
I feel like Pa Ran might be living close by.
I won't be able to recognise her since it's been too long.
I get the feeling...
that she's closer to us than we know.
No matter where she is right now,
I'm sure she's doing well.
Watch after your kids.
Don't differentiate them from Ah Ran.
I won't.
Ah Ran, Ji Ah and Ma Ru are all my children.
You'll be distressed from now on.
But remember that you brought it onto yourself.
I heard you were feisty when Gook Hee first saw you,
but look at where you are now.
I didn't come here because I like that lady.
I came because life was hard.
If I wasn't in this situation,
I would have followed my late mother's footsteps.
Goodness.
Watch what you say.
Also, why are you calling her a lady?
How can you be so rude?
If you're in debt, you should repay them.
All you care about is yourself.
How can you say such things to someone who helped you?
It won't be easy for her to address her as mum.
Just try not to call her at all.
And if you really need to, then just omit the title.
Try to set a good example in front of them.
Why are you here by the way?
There's no one here that would welcome you.
Stop it.
I wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for him.
You're only half-related.
Why are you taking sides?
I thought you'd be on my side.
I was hoping that you guys would treat me like a queen.
If you move in here with us, how could I live here comfortably?
Just leave.
Leave before your dad sees you.
Please don't do that, Mum.
I brought Ma Ru here.
I want him to live here with us.
Well, I was just worried about you being uncomfortable.
The room is smaller than I thought.
This is big enough.
Don't take what your grandma says personally.
No matter what anyone says, you're Ji Ah's older brother...
and I'm Ji Ah's mother.
Of course you two have to live together.
I'm worried that I'll make your family feel uncomfortable...
by deciding to stay here.
Not at all.
Don't worry and just make yourself at home.
I know you'll feel uncomfortable no matter what I tell you,
but your dad is here...
and your grandma, aunt and Ji Ah are all here as well.
Regardless of what's on the family registration papers,
you're a part of this family, Ma Ru.
Thank you for your kindness.
Ma Ru.
I'm saying this to you because you're an adult.
The things that happened between your dad, mum and I...
You don't need to worry about...
what happened between the three of us.
When we were looking for our missing daughter, your dad...
found you lost on the street and brought you to your mum.
Because of that incident, he ended up becoming your family.
I guess it was meant to be.
Those are things of the past, so you don't need to over-think them.
Are you feeling better now?
I was going to come to you.
Why are you bringing that up when you didn't end up coming?
I'm sorry.
You and Ma Ru went through a lot, didn't you?
Mi Dal is very blunt,
so it must've been difficult to be around her.
But I heard that Bom took great care of you?
Do you have any idea what we had to go through?
I had to wash the dishes until my hands got swollen...
and I had to get on my knees to wash the floor.
I decided to move in here because I couldn't stand that any more.
Ji Ah, you don't have to worry about that from now on.
I promise you.
Let go of this.
I moved in here for now because I have nowhere else to go,
but I don't plan to stay here for too long.
You're not going to stay here forever either, right?
I can't let Mr An go like this.
Please come up with some ideas!
How come all of you are staying quiet?
Do you not have any ideas?
To be honest, aren't you the only one who can save him?
You should take responsibility so that Mr An can clear himself of...
Stop talking about something you don't know.
There is a thing called hierarchy in a company.
Mr Ah did his job.
Please come up with a solution by tomorrow.
Don't think about putting all the responsibility on Mr An.
If another problem arises in our team,
no one here will be safe.
Wait...
Why is she taking it out on us?
She's the one who created all this mess in the first place.
Why is she making us deal with it?
It's not fair.
Why did you do that?
It's my fault, so I should take responsibility for it.
Why is it your fault?
Everyone in the company knows that Ah Ran caused the trouble...
when she was overseeing every aspect of the project.
I'm responsible for not being able to stop Ah Ran.
I know you care about her,
but this has to do with the company.
You have to think about your future.
How can you just assume responsibility for everything?
Please don't worry. I'm still young.
I can easily get over things like this.
You said so yourself.
You said that you went through a lot of hardship when you were young.
But you stuck through everything and stayed beside Ms Bae...
and contributed to making Poongildang successful.
I want to stay beside Ah Ran too.
I want to be able to continue loving Ah Ran and...
make Poongildang become a better company.
I think that this will give me a chance to think...
and look back in order to move forward.
They'll announce the change regarding your position tomorrow.
It'll be more severe than what you're expecting.
What are you two talking about?
What do you mean by change of position?
Tae Ho, are you getting promoted?
It's not like that.
What are you talking about?
Tae Ho, am I right?
You're getting promoted, right?
I'm happy for you!
I'm so glad that you're my son.
Thank you.
Honey! Honey.
Honey.
Tae Ho is getting a promotion, right?
What's the big deal? Why aren't you telling me?
If you won't tell me, I'll just call Ah Ran and ask her.
Dad, I have something to tell you.
What would you need to tell your dad?
Don't upset him by talking nonsense...
and just stay quiet.
What do you need to tell me?
Let's hear it.
You'll leave some inheritance for me and Tae Ho, right?
Could you give me my share of the inheritance in advance?
I need some money, so that I can continue to do music.
Hey, Soo Ho.
What are you talking about?
I'm going to keep it short.
If becoming a musician is your dream, you should pursue it.
But I've already decided...
to donate all of my properties when I die.
So there's no money for me to give you.
Dad, that's absurd!
Why would you donate your money instead of giving it to your sons?
Hiring a part-timer who loves music and understands romanticism.
Minimum wage guaranteed.
What a well-written sentence.
The kitchen's closed now.
That's not what I'm here for. I came to meet the girl who lives here.
A girl? Who?
She's really skinny...
and she looks like a fox with her big, round eyes.
I think her family owns this place.
Her family owns this place?
Do you mean Bom? Or Ga Eul?
No, her name is Ji Ah...
Her name is Choi Ji Ah.
Oh. She moved out.
She's not the owner's daughter. She used to live in the storage room.
But her rich mum came and took her away.
How do you know her?
Are you here to collect some money?
I also got something taken away by her aunt...
and never got it back.
Shall we find their house and go there together?
No, she just has my guitar case.
A guitar case?
Oh!
Hold on! Wait here.
Hiring a part-timer?
- Is this yours? - Oh.
Yes, it's mine! Thank you.
Are you good at playing the guitar?
Back in my prime,
people used to call me "Crazy Guitar".
Back then, well-known people in the music industry...
came to me and asked me...
- to join their bands. - Is that right?
By the way, have you hired a part-timer yet?
A part-timer?
Why? Are you interested?
You would do well.
I like you.
Did I move in here to cook for people?
My goodness, stop acting like a kid.
If you want to live here and not get kicked out,
you have to be liked by Gook Hee.
You need to look good in front of her.
Your aunt and I will do the actual work,
so just pretend that you're helping us.
Isn't this a bit much for breakfast?
A piece of toast with milk should be enough.
Stop whining.
You are her aunt.
Good morning.
Here. Put them on the table.
Good morning.
Grandma, can I help out with anything?
Forget it.
Gosh, why are you in the kitchen?
I'll do it.
You should just sit and rest.
There are so many women in this household.
You're the head of this family.
You should just sit in the main chair...
and enjoy the food.
Please let me do it.
You couldn't get yourself out of the kitchen before,
but that won't happen this time.
You don't belong in the kitchen,
so don't bother coming near here again.
You're the head of this house. Act like it.
Go on now.
Give it to me.
Goodness!
My daughter-in-law is up.
Sit down, sit down.
Breakfast is ready, let's eat.
You sit here.
And you sit here.
No.
You should sit here.
Why would the head of this house sit in the corner?
Well...
It doesn't matter where we sit.
Okay.
Enjoy.
Ma Ru and Ji Ah.
If there's anything you like or don't like,
tell our cook later.
And you should get ready to go back to school.
Don't hesitate to ask me for anything.
Jung Ki, you should help the kids get ready.
I'll help with that.
Is Ah Ran working overnight at work again?
She's not fully well yet.
She might be over-exerting herself.
I think I'll pack some food and bring it to her.
Don't bother.
She'll take care of herself.
Still, she's your real child.
You should take care of her first.
How can someone like me eat when I'm not your real daughter?
Ji Ah, sit down.
That's not what she meant.
Sit down and eat.
I have no intention of eating if it's going to be like this.
That little punk.
How dare she throw her spoon at the elders?
Mum, let me remind you.
I'll be treating Ji Ah just like Ah Ran.
So please don't say anything to hurt her feelings.
Well...
I just feel sorry for you, that's all.
I don't want you to be frustrated with someone else's kids.
Let's eat.
Bye.
Was Dad always like that?
Does he really have to stoop so low to stay here?
That's ridiculous.
Gosh.
Ma Ru, did you see that?
He was shining her shoes!
Really?
I should've shined it.
Oh my gosh!
Not you too. Don't be so servile.
What's wrong with that?
You used to clean our mum's shoes when she went to work.
They're not the same.
I thought Dad was being treated with respect here.
He never did that with Mum.
Why is he so obedient?
I don't want to see it.
She let us live with her,
so we should be nice to her.
This is why I'm sick of you and Dad.
I don't know why we even came here.
I don't want to live like this.
Ji Ah, then do you want to come with me...
to Bom's place?
No way, why would I go there?
I'm sick of that place.
You can go alone.
You're still doing that?
Speed it up.
Bom!
I told you to look after the broth. What were you doing?
It's burnt!
I couldn't smell it.
Are you trying to burn down the bar?
Why can't you do anything properly?
I can't believe you.
It's not like you make money,
nor can you run the bar well.
I just don't like anything about you.
Mum, I was distributing posters the entire morning today.
Then I came in and worked and didn't even eat yet.
How dare you talk back to me?
You promised when we wrote the agreement.
You said you'll wait for me until I get a job.
But what is this?
You make me look after the bar all the time.
I've been working part-time to pay off the debt.
I haven't had the time to look at any books.
I need to get a proper job...
to bring you more money and pay back the interest.
Do you really want me to work at this bar for the rest of my life?
Is it my fault that you didn't get a job?
My friends' kids got hired well...
and they give their parents allowance and send them on trips.
What have you ever done for me?
Why do you hate me so much?
Are you trying to get rid of your stress on me?
Why can't you leave me alone?
Please, help me.
Please give me the time so I can find a job.
Time?
You were always wasting time with that kid from the storage.
We weren't wasting time.
We were just working together.
Am I really your daughter?
How come you never worry about me?
I'm scared that I'll never find work...
and end up working here forever without any hope.
Get lost, I don't want to see you.
If I go in now,
she'll only yell at Bom even more.
(Poongildang)
(Change of position)
(An Tae Ho)
(Demoted to bar manager)
Mum, don't you think that's too much?
A manager at a bar?
How can you do this to him?
It's what you did to him.
Everyone knows that Tae Ho got demoted...
because of your mess.
That's why you should have stopped this from happening.
I honestly don't know how...
I'm going to see Mr An and his son.
But the decision was made by the board.
I have to follow it.
And aside from their decision,
you'll have to take responsibility too.
Go and wait for my order.
Tae Ho, you can't go like this.
Wait, let me try to fix it.
I thought I'd get fired, so this isn't so bad.
I always wanted to work at the bar.
At least I'll get to meet our customers directly.
I'll learn a lot from it.
Ah Ran, come visit me okay?
I'll make sure to treat you something special if you do.
This is no time to joke.
Why didn't you pick up my call yesterday?
We could've met up to plan...
a strategy before the announcement was made.
I was sleeping. I guess I was tired.
How can you sleep at a time like this?
Did you have a hard time sleeping again?
You must be hungry, let's go eat.
Come on.
You only put in half a bowl, right?
Here.
It looks delicious.
Here, have some.
I'm not hungry.
Ah Ran.
Poongildang is your dream.
I want to make sure you keep it.
I'm going to reinstate you to your original position.
Give me some time.
I told you, I wanted to work at the bar.
It'll be a good experience.
Why do you always sacrifice yourself...
when I'm so selfish?
Don't you know why?
No.
I don't know why you gave up everything for me.
(Because I love you.)
Aren't you going to say something?
(I'll make sure to repay you for that love.)
Promise me.
I'll do everything I can to get you the best position.
I won't give up on you.
Goodness. My back hurts.
Where did Bae Dal go?
I can't afford to be sick.
Why didn't you come sooner to help me?
Is your back hurting again?
Sit down. I'll give you a massage.
It's fine.
Just clean up this mess.
I saw that you put up a notice for a part-timer.
You made the right decision.
You need a part-timer to assist you.
What's the point of saving money if you're sick?
That means I'll have to do everything.
Look at you. Don't pretend that you care about me.
You're just saying that because you don't want to work more.
You'll probably be the first to run away when I get sick.
What did you do with the waist support belt I bought for you?
I told you to wear it.
I don't know. I guess it's somewhere in my room.
Okay. I'll go get it.
While you wait for me, just sit and rest, okay?
I can finish this when I get back.
I think it's inside the vanity.
She said that it'd be in here.
It's not here.
What is this?
Why is this here?
Gosh, that ring. I left it in the vanity.
Mum, you're too much.
What did I do?
Why do you have this?
Why are you keeping Ma Ru's mum's ring?
What? Is that his mum's ring?
Well, I just found it on the floor...
and thought someone must've dropped it.
Who would drop a ring like this?
And if you found it, you should've returned it to the owner.
How can I return it to him now?
They moved out without even telling me.
Mum, this is what Ma Ru's mum left for him.
It's the only thing she left when she died!
Then are you saying that I tried to steal it intentionally?
Regardless of your intention, you hid it.
Why didn't you try to return it?
How dare you make me a thief?
How can you say that to me when I've raised you for 20 years?
Forget it!
I'll go return this to him.
I don't want to talk to you!
You brat!
Where are you going?
Will I ever be able to wear a ring like that again?
Gosh, it's too bad.
Gosh, you should get your shoes cleaned.
Everyone will be able to tell that you work at a construction site.
I guess you're right.
He never cleaned Mum's shoes for her,
but he cleans that woman's shoes and brings them to the door for her?
Why did I move in here?
How am I going to explain this to him?
- Ji Ah. - Oh my goodness.
Are you going somewhere?
Lower your voice. I think moving in here was a mistake.
Watching how Dad treats that woman...
is making me think of Mum and my blood is boiling.
Do you want Dad to argue with her instead?
It's good that they're trying to get along.
It's only been one day since we moved in here.
We might be upset at times but let's just try to adjust, okay?
No, I don't want to. Why should I?
Who are you?
- I'm sorry, we came yesterday... - I'm asking you who you are.
This is my dad's house.
What? Your dad's house?
Then are you those kids in my dad's other family?
Gosh, then are you...
his daughter whom he abandoned?
What? Abandoned?
Please don't do this to my sister.
Let go of me. You freeloaders.
Ah Ran.
Ma Ru.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
