(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 23)
I didn't know you could do things like this.
There's nothing a part-timer can't do.
I told you.
I do my best with whatever I'm given,
and I also take care of things even if I'm not told to.
You're really good at this.
This is nothing.
I've assisted my mum at her bar,
and I even worked at the seafood section of a large grocery store.
I'm embarrassed to say this.
I've only thought about how to sell more of our product...
while working at the office,
but never about how people could enjoy and be happy...
drinking it.
It's easy to enjoy drinking and be happy.
With good company...
and delicious food,
what can be better than that?
You're right.
But are these kind of fish good with alcohol?
Didn't you know?
There's nothing as delicious as braised fish with some drinks.
Really?
You're so much better at this than me.
Hello.
- Coming in for your shift? - Yes.
Go to the kitchen.
Okay.
Great.
I'm learning so much from you today.
Stop complimenting me.
It's making me blush.
Here, let me help you.
Thank you.
I'm here for...
Oh Bom!
What are you doing?
Ma Ru...
How did he know I was here?
Who is that? Do you know him?
He's a friend.
I'll be right back.
What brings you here?
What about you?
I thought you said you were sick. Too sick to watch a movie.
Do you know how much I was worried when you told me that?
I was worried sick,
but I didn't want to wake you up so I refrained from calling you.
Then I find you here.
Sorry, I do part-time shifts here,
and they told me that they had something urgent.
Then you should have told me you were going to work. Why did you lie?
I didn't want you to take it the wrong way.
What do you mean?
Do you think I would stop you from going to work?
What I'm trying to say is...
I was about to go see you,
but they called me and said if I don't come out right now,
they would find someone else to replace me.
I couldn't ignore it.
You know well...
that I have to pay my debt every day.
Then you should have just told me the truth.
You gave me a scarf and even movie tickets.
But if I cancelled for a job,
I thought that might hurt your feelings.
How can that be your excuse?
But how did you know I was here?
Kang Ma Ru?
Ah Ran recommended you, right?
I'm the manager, An Tae Ho.
Thanks for coming to help us out.
Come follow me, I'll give you your uniform.
I didn't feel so good about lying to you either.
I felt guilty and sorry too.
So he ended up giving her this job.
Sure, he's the manager,
but why is he rolling up her sleeves?
Here's your uniform.
I'll get changed.
Have we seen each other before?
I'm not sure.
Are you going to stand there?
No, sorry.
It makes me mad the more I think about it.
Here.
You didn't leave?
Why are you ignoring me?
Forget it and let's work.
Why is he so mean.
Bom?
Yes?
Move out of the way.
Yes, Sir.
I'm sorry,
but one of our cooks can't make it today...
so could I ask you to also take care of the meats?
Sure, that's not a problem.
He works at a place like this?
Ah Ran! What brings you here?
Why are you so busy?
And look at your office. It's a mess.
We just got told that we have a huge group coming in tomorrow.
They ordered food that's not even on our menu.
And it's something that needs to be fermented overnight.
So everyone is working on that...
while also preparing to open. It's really busy.
Who told you to do that here?
Why do you have to bother worrying about reservations?
Leave that up to the assistant manager.
I told you to use this time to recharge.
You need to make a good proposal...
in order for you to find your way back at the head office.
I know. I've been preparing a proposal every now and then.
Good luck.
Did someone just come by?
Is she someone higher up?
Mind your own business...
and watch your fingers. Don't cut yourself.
Look at who's talking.
I studied Food and Nutrition and passed with flying colours.
This is nothing to me.
What are you doing?
Kids would do a better job than that.
I've never done this before.
Look.
You have to cut it evenly.
And make them into little dice.
You got it?
Okay, I got it.
Try again.
Like this?
Watch out!
Her name is Oh Bom?
She looks familiar.
Wait...
(Rice)
Number 35. Why did you write just rice?
Are you saying our wine is that simple?
Well, I just thought it was fermented with only rice.
So that's why I wrote rice...
How was your trip to the traditional bar?
Since you're always so secretive about your visits,
I think the staff are nervous.
Did I stress them out?
Mr An...
Tae Ho is having a hard time.
He's short on staff so he's using a lot of part-timers.
Shouldn't we recruit more employees?
In regards to new hires,
the board is always really sensitive about that.
I know.
It could be a burden on the organisation.
But not hiring talented employees...
would be a loss on our side.
I'll pass your thoughts onto the board.
Mr An.
Do you remember...
one of the applicants for new hires named Oh Bom?
Yes, I remember her.
I remember that she had high marks.
Why didn't she get in?
I heard that her father passed away...
on the day of the final interview.
She tried to file a complaint,
but due to our regulations, she could not be hired.
Is that so?
Why is that lady not at work?
Did they yell at her for what happened yesterday?
Mr An...
The lady from yesterday... You didn't fire her, did you?
Which lady?
No, it's nothing like that. Don't worry.
But why is she not here today?
She had something come up.
So don't worry.
You're sure, right?
What are you talking about?
What do you mean Tae Ho is serving at a bar?
You probably mistook someone else for him.
Look into it.
I don't think he got a promotion, I think he got demoted.
It looks like they totally pushed him out.
Hey.
He is the fiance of Poongildang's only heiress.
That's just not possible.
Gosh, I don't know.
I'm just telling you what I saw.
Whether you believe it or not is up to you.
Hello? Hey. Hello?
What is going on?
- Hello. - Ah Ran.
What did you do?
I heard you ruined everything for Tae Ho.
What do you mean?
Your attitude has started to scare me now.
Please calm down and have a seat.
I approved of you as Tae Ho's future wife...
only because you're the daughter of Poongildang's owner.
How dare you use my son to keep your position within the company!
Is this why...
you were debating whether you'd get engaged to him or not,
so that you can dump all of your mistakes on him...
and ruin everything for him?
Don't you think you're being out of line right now?
I am out of line?
I haven't even said one percent of what I actually want to tell you.
Sun Young.
- What are you doing here now? - Let go of this.
- I'm not done with her. - Stop it.
I'm sorry.
Why are you saying sorry?
You. Make sure Tae Ho comes back to his position right away.
Do you understand?
- Let's go. - Goodness.
What did I tell you?
I warned you that I will get very angry with you if you...
cause a scene at my work once again, didn't I?
What are you going to if you're angry with me?
I can't just sit and do nothing because I'm so infuriated.
I should go to Ms Bae's office...
and complain to her.
Do you even know what actually happened?
Tae Ho got demoted because of his own mistake.
We should be thankful that he hasn't been fired...
and that he can stay in the company.
But from what I heard...
Ah Ran made a mistake,
and Tae Ho ended up taking responsibility for what she did.
Who told you that?
Who told you that kind of nonsense?
That's what I heard.
I really heard it.
I told you.
I told you not to engage in gossiping with your girl friends.
Honey, then what should I do?
What if Ah Ran dumps Tae Ho now...
because she hates me?
If that happens, Tae Ho won't be able to do anything.
I want to ask you once again to give Tae Ho his old position back.
I already told you. It's out of my hands now.
Staying in the head office after making Tae Ho leave like that...
feels like a more severe punishment to me.
I will go work at the bar instead of him.
You should've said it earlier.
But it's all over now.
Please don't say that it's over.
Please allow me to work there instead of him.
If you need the executive board to agree,
I'll meet each board member and tell them.
I don't know why you're doing this now,
but I'll think about it.
I don't understand, I really can't understand.
Ouch, gosh...
- What was that? - What did I tell you?
If you step out during the store hour once again...
"I told you I'll make sure you get kicked out wearing only underwear."
I know, I know.
Right, Mi Dal.
I just heard something crazy.
What is it?
You know Mr Ma at the butcher's shop where we used to buy meat from.
He's a thief. A thief.
After building a five-storey building at the intersection,
he's going on blind dates with girls who are 12 years younger than him.
What a jerk.
What's he doing when he's over 40?
Exactly. He's saying that he's willing to give lots of money...
to the girl's family if she wants to marry him...
and asking everyone in this town to set him up with girls.
I think he's gone out of his mind, totally out of his mind.
What did you just say?
I said, Mr Ma is out of his mind.
Not that.
What did you say he's willing to give to the girl's family?
Never mind. I'll go find out myself.
Hey, stay here and remove the guts from these anchovies.
- Me? - Okay?
Why did you follow me all the way here?
I told you my neighbourhood is safe because there are lots of lights.
Why?
Are you upset because you couldn't get a ride from your manager?
What are you talking about?
Kang Ma Ru. With my healthy two legs...
and my transportation card which is fully charged,
why would I need to get a ride from anyone?
Whatever. Then what was yesterday about?
I got injured during my shift yesterday,
so my manger drove me home.
You got injured? Where, where?
I'm fine now.
I was in pain last night, but I'm totally fine now.
I told you to be careful!
You're the one who said it.
Health is the most important thing for us who have to work every day.
But why are you not following your own advice?
From now on, you are not allowed to get hurt.
If people see this now, they'd think you're my boyfriend.
They can think that if they want to.
Don't worry, no one will actually think that.
By the way, thanks for this.
It's so warm.
But I told you.
I told you to be careful with your spending.
As you know, the money we earned shouldn't be spent frivolously.
We worked really hard for it.
Okay.
Don't regret later if I turn into a cheapskate.
It will be all because of your nagging.
I wonder what kind of important customers are coming tomorrow.
I had to work on my day off because of them.
Ouch, my shoulder.
Hey, give it to me.
Where should I put it?
Yes, here.
Goodness. When did you get this bruise?
Since you were a kid, you've always lived with scrapes and bruises.
Look at this scar here too.
You should've taken a better care of me.
The reason is obvious.
It's because you used to leave me alone to go to work.
Bom, this scar was here from the first time...
Yes, all right. It's all my fault, okay?
Stick well...
and take all the pain away from Bom!
Gosh, that hurt.
By the way, until when are you going to work part-time jobs?
Give me a little more time.
I'm going to focus now...
and get back to looking for a proper job again.
Bom, don't do that. Just get married.
Gosh, Mum!
Look at me.
They say that marriage is the most important thing in a woman's life.
You may not believe me, but...
I even went on a beauty pageant contest in my hometown.
But I met your dad...
and ended up like this.
So, you should marry a man who is successful.
Finding a job shouldn't be the priority.
You should live a comfortable life as a wealthy man's wife.
Okay, Mum.
I'll get married 10 years later,
so we can have this conversation then.
Bom. That girl...
Goodness...
How am I going to persuade her?
If I just bring up the talk about Mr Ma,
she won't have it at all.
Oh my goodness.
What's all this?
You have to go back to college now,
and I thought you might need some new clothes.
Are you saying you're buying all these clothes for me?
Not everything.
Pick 2 or 3 that you like out of them.
I've never had the experience of shopping at home like this...
so I'm really excited right now.
Wow, this purse is so cute too!
You're a student, so pick simple and neat designs.
Okay.
Gosh, everything is so pretty. I don't know what to choose.
Good. That one looks good.
Really?
Wow. Bravo.
Ji Ah. Yes. There's no need to complicate things.
My pride isn't really the most important thing.
These clothes and purse are my pride.
Yes, I'll live happily here.
Gook Hee can be a little stuffy at times,
but she's nice to me, and she's my source of money.
I should stay with her here.
Where are you going holding those?
Starting today, I'm going to sleep in the witch's room upstairs.
What?
You're going to listen to Gook Hee...
and share the room with Ah Ran?
Goodness, money is good indeed.
Those clothes...
totally changed your mind.
Well, you've always loved money since you were a kid.
Look who's talking.
You brought a carton of eggs when you came to see my mum...
and talked her into giving an allowance to you.
This brat...
Look how you're talking to your grandmother.
Grandma.
Goodness.
Gosh...
That's right.
She's doing her best to survive too.
What are you doing now?
I decided to listen to Mother.
She said that we should share this room starting today.
Mother?
Hey, get out. I can't sleep in the same room with you.
If you're not happy with it, then you should leave.
I'm just going to do what Mother told me to do.
Do you have a brain in that head of yours?
Seriously.
You're Pa Ran's dad.
So there's something you should know.
Once the missing persons report is processed,
I have to take care of her shares.
At that point,
since you're her father, I need your agreement.
You can take care of it.
I wouldn't know what to do.
- Okay, then. - Wait.
Don't you think...
making Ji Ah and Ah Ran stay in one room is a bit too much?
They're grown-ups.
I think it'll help them become closer.
Both girls were raised...
always getting their ways.
I want them to start being more considerate...
and learn how to give to others.
That way, Ji Ah will become a better ballerina,
and Ah Ran can become Poongildang's leader.
That's true.
Move over.
How can he do this to me?
He used to beg me to come back...
so that we could annul the divorce.
But how can he get remarried before me?
Don't you remember after divorcing him...
you were seeing someone..
in less than four months?
When did I do that?
Of course you forget all the things you did.
You better not show up...
one day with a random man and tell me you're getting married.
There won't be any more men in my life.
Don't lie.
I'll make a bet with my money bag that you'll cry because of a man...
again this year.
You don't even have that much in that bag.
I don't want to see you. Get out.
It just makes me stressed whenever I see you.
Get out! Now!
It's suffocating for me to use the same room with you too.
That little...
Goodness...
Now that my son is settled in,
my daughter is the one giving me trouble.
I wonder if I'll ever able to stop worrying about my children.
How much longer is she going to drink for?
Watch her carefully until Bae Dal gets here.
Customers like this...
often run away without paying.
I don't think she'll be able to walk.
It's when you're tipsy you often decide to run for it.
Make sure to keep an eye on her.
What else are you going to make me do?
Just do as you are told.
Okay.
Kid. Kid.
Wake up.
Don't sleep like that. It's not good for your health.
No! Where did she go?
Have you seen the woman who was sitting here?
What do I do... She didn't pay for her table.
What?
You're dead meat.
My sister is lenient with everything else,
but not with money.
She'll tell you to pay for what she owes.
No way.
What?
I was just joking.
Do you think someone like me...
would make someone like you to pay up?
Don't worry. Just go home.
Thank you. I trust you.
Bye.
Go, go.
Good night.
That kid.
What is that?
What in the world...
Gosh.
Excuse me? Who are you?
My heart... My poor heart.
Hey, wake up. Are you okay?
Excuse me, get up.
Gosh!
What are you doing sleeping here?
You have to get up.
Mister...
What are you doing here?
I'm a miserable woman.
I'm sorry?
Who will heal this...
broken heart of mine?
That chest?
I mean...
I don't know what's going on, but you can't sleep here.
- I can't? - No.
- Really? - What?
But you said before...
that I should be responsible for stealing your lips.
Well, about that...
If I did something I should take responsibility for,
then I should take responsibility for it. Right?
What?
Then I'll take responsibility.
- I'll do it. - About that...
- It's okay. - No, no...
- Just a minute. - No, no...
- Come here. - That's not what I mean.
Don't make me yell at you. Come here.
- Don't... - I said come here.
Did Bae Dal...
go home without locking up last night?
Great.
He didn't lock up nor did he clean up.
I better get a loan if I'm to...
give him that 1,300 dollars and kick him out.
Gosh.
My head...
Ouch.
What happened?
What are you doing?
Can't you see?
It's over for me.
What are you talking about?
I don't know...
Stop crying!
I said stop it.
I don't know anymore.
The group reservation will arrive soon so let's set the tables.
By the way,
how important is this customer that we make special dishes for them?
I'm not sure. I'm curious myself.
We can't really ask for their identity when they reserve.
That's true. No matter who it is,
we should be doing our best to serve great food.
You've really got the mind for customer service.
You sure are the queen of part-time jobs.
A queen?
What did you tell me to do with the potatoes again?
Well...
Just peel and grate them?
Yes, thank you.
Makgeolli...
With salty meats,
it's best with a fresh makgeolli.
Don't drool.
I know a drink or two.
With beef tartare, something with a clean aftertaste is the best.
Just listening to you talk makes me want to drink.
Sorry we called you out on your day off to cook.
Thank you.
It was nothing.
All I did was prepare the ingredients.
The cooks worked really hard.
I thought you didn't like it here because it's messy.
I guess you missed me too much.
I'm not in the mood to joke.
I told Mum.
That I'd come here...
so that you can come back to the head office.
- Ah Ran... - So...
you should get prepared to go back.
Don't waste your time here.
Welcome.
I have a reservation at three o'clock.
Yes, please follow me.
But where is the rest of your group?
Group?
Where is the sea bream dish?
I asked you to make it.
That dish is best to eat warm,
so we were preparing it to be ready upon your arrival.
We will bring it out now.
She should think about all the hard work we've put in to making them...
and at least take a bite before taking photos.
Well, I guess she'll eat them after taking photos.
Is the sea bream dish ready?
Yes, I'm just finishing it up.
Wow, it looks amazing.
It's like a work of art. A work of art.
No other places make a sea bream dish like this in Seoul.
It's really delicious.
My mouth is watering now.
The customer will be impressed too.
- I can serve it to her now, right? - Hold on, hold on.
I have to take a photo of my work of art.
You'll let me taste this one day, right?
If there's something to celebrate, I'll of course make it for you.
What about me?
Then you two should do something together to be celebrated for.
I'll carry it for you.
Don't worry about it.
Do you think anyone can serve?
You need as much experience as I have to serve customers.
Here is the sea bream dish you ordered.
The presentation isn't that good.
Please take it back.
We worked hard to prepare this,
so please at least taste it.
Do you think I came here to eat today?
- Gosh, seriously... - Goodness!
My clothes totally got ruined.
This is too much.
Gosh, seriously...
What do you mean I have to pay?
This is the total for the dishes and...
the wines you ordered today.
I already told you.
I'm a famous blogger.
Do you know how many restaurants had to close because of my reviews?
I'm already annoyed because of that dumb server you have.
This may be out of line, but let me tell you one thing.
I'm not sure whether you will end up posting...
the photos of our dishes you took today or not,
but if you are a famous blogger, shouldn't you at least...
taste the dishes you introduce before writing about them?
What?
Bom, what are you doing now?
Hey, what do you think you're doing now?
You're just a server. Who do you think you are?
Bom, stop it now and please apologise to the customer.
Goodness.
I apologise. She was rude to you.
I apologise to you on her behalf.
You're not going to get on your knees?
Get on your knees now.
I don't think I did anything to get on my knees and apologise for.
So, are you saying that you can't apologise?
Making a big deal about this won't be good for anyone.
You could put Mr An in a difficult situation by doing this.
He came here because he was demoted from the head office.
If there's a problem, he could get fired.
Mr An, Mr An. Bom is...
Did something happen to Bom?
It's not something you need to worry about.
I don't have anything else to say to you.
Tell your manager that I need to talk to him.
I can't let this pass.
I'll need to tell the head office about this.
I apologise.
Bom, what are you doing now?
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me for what I did today.
Bom, get up right now!
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
Did you have to do that to keep the job? You have no pride?
- Don't talk if you don't know. - Let's get out of here.
I feel miserable too!
I'm humiliated! My pride is totally hurt.
How did this happen?
What are you talking about? Let me see.
"Poongildang Traditional Bar is really the worst."
"A place like this must close down."
- Nothing happened. - You can't leave like this.
- Yesterday, we... - Whatever!
Wait.
- You should take responsibility. - Stop talking about responsibility.
Hey, you. Do you think I'll let you go like that?
- Get some rest. - Ma Ru.
I can cheer up because you're there for me.
Thank you.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
