(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 25)
Ma Ru.
What's going on?
What did I just see?
How did this happen?
You should have been more careful.
What did you just do to Bom?
What were the two of you doing?
What do you mean? I was checking the makgeolli with him.
Ma Ru, there must have been some misunderstanding.
Bom said that the makgeolli smelt bad...
so we were checking on it.
Forget it.
Go and have a look outside. Someone is waiting for you.
Who is that?
Did he say he would stay here for that girl?
Did he make such a mess because of her?
Wait until I get my hands on these...
Ah Ran.
Why didn't you come in if you were here?
Is something wrong?
How vulgar and disgusting!
I'm really disappointed in you.
What in the world are you doing with a part-timer?
What are you talking about?
I saw everything.
I saw you standing close to that girl.
Ah Ran.
This is so ridiculous, I'm out of words.
Come on.
Stop it.
I was just checking the makgeolli because of the bad smell.
I didn't know it would look that strange.
- Is that true? - Why don't you also have a look?
I'm worried about the makgeolli.
Forget it.
Don't be mad at me.
Why would I look at other girls when I have a pretty girlfriend like you?
Are you being jealous now?
I'm not being jealous.
It doesn't feel too bad...
that you are jealous.
I'm not in the mood to joke now.
Do you even know what just happened?
I thought the demotion would be enough,
but it seems like I will end up getting fired.
Hey, do you have any idea how powerful the internet is?
Even though Mr An is the fiance of Poongildang's heiress,
this problem won't be solved easily.
Okay. Bye.
Bom!
Our website is full of people talking about you!
What do you mean?
Is it because of the customer from yesterday?
Exactly!
Why did you make things complicated when you're just a part-timer?
Okay. The customer was impolite,
but we wouldn't have been in such trouble...
if you had kept your mouth shut.
Mr Yang, how can you say such a thing?
What did she do wrong?
If she didn't talk back in the first place...
and kneeled down when she was asked to,
nothing would have happened.
But we are in trouble now because of her.
Look at this.
This is all a lie.
People on the internet don't care if it's true or not.
The more stimulating and interesting it is,
the more people tend to read it.
Now we are in a big trouble.
Mr An and I might get fired because of you.
Mr Yang.
What are you saying now?
I was just saying...
Bom, let's have a talk.
I apologise.
You must be upset by this incident.
No, I'm fine.
I should have held on to my anger and just let it be.
But I didn't...
I feel more guilty if you feel this way.
I'm worried if you will get into trouble...
because of this incident.
You don't need to worry about this.
And don't worry about the rumours on the internet.
You've done nothing wrong.
There were many witnesses in our store yesterday.
The rumours on the internet will soon be proved as a lie.
There'll be no damage to your side.
Cheer up.
Your high spirit is your charm.
Why is he acting like he cares?
He should have prevented it then.
What did he say?
He told me not to worry.
He shouldn't just say and do nothing.
He's not just saying that in words.
He does care a lot.
To be honest, it's been a bit tough for me lately,
but I'm happy that you're beside me.
And it's nice to have someone to talk to.
I think this article was written on the internet with bad intentions.
I also had a look on it just now.
The story doesn't make sense.
This person calls herself a famous blogger,
and it seems certain that she has been to our store.
It looks like something did happen.
I'll talk to Mr An to understand the situation,
and will report to you.
Tae Ho has been working so hard until now,
but I'm sad that such incidents keep happening to him.
Don't worry about that, Ms Bae.
As an adult working in the society,
it's normal that things don't always happen in its planned way.
At least Tae Ho has you watching over him.
As his father, I feel envious of that.
You are flattering me.
You're here.
I just came back from the store.
What happened?
It was a blogger with an evil intention.
How can people make such an obvious lie?
There must be a reason why she lied.
It's a relief that it is not true,
but the article is already widely spread on the internet.
We shouldn't just leave it alone.
We need to fix this up.
Contact the marketing team to see what they have in plan.
I'll take over this incident.
Over such a nasty rumour,
I don't want to see Tae Ho being the target of gossip in the company.
Who are we doing this for?
It's not Grandfather's ceremony yet.
Is it for someone in this family?
Don't make too much fuss in front of the ancestors.
What does this have to do with me?
If it's someone from this family,
they have nothing to do with me at all.
Ji Ah!
Are you back?
Welcome home.
Hello.
I told you this is not necessary.
Why did you do this when I didn't ask you do?
It's already prepared,
let's bow down to your father.
Oh, it feels good.
What is this...
Who are we doing this for?
I see...
I think it is for the elderly in this family.
Today is my father-in-law's memorial day.
Oh my goodness!
That is why you were busy preparing for food...
in the kitchen from the morning?
This is unbelievable.
How can my precious son...
carry out a ritual for a person who is not even his family member?
What is going on?
Did you ask him to do this?
Did you ask Jung Ki to prepare the food for the ceremony?
Take the table away.
Gook Hee...
Stop it, Mum.
Why do you make such a big fuss about this?
It is a problem!
This shouldn't be happening.
How can my son, the only son in my family,
live a tough life at your house,
and carry out the ceremony for your father?
Look, Mum!
There should be a reason for him to do that.
Grandma, calm down please.
Mum, don't be so stubborn.
Why is it wrong to show my respect to my father-in-law?
He is Ah Ran's grandfather,
and he was fond of me in the past.
I'm not going to stay around to see this nonsense.
It hurts my eyes.
Oh my goodness!
Mum! Where are you going?
It seems to be this house.
How should I call her out?
Gosh...
Cuckoo.
Goodness, I'm so frustrated.
Do you think I brought my son here to see this?
Gosh, who is he?
What are you doing in front of my house?
Goodness. Are you trying to relieve yourself...
- in front of my house right now? - No, not at all.
Then, what were you doing?
I wasn't doing anything.
Excuse me...
Goodness. I don't know who he is,
but I'm sure no woman would want to marry him.
If he wanted to relieve himself,
he could've asked to use the restroom.
He looked like an old dog trying to relieve himself...
standing in front of the telephone pole like that.
Goodness.
Please get rid of all these.
I'm sorry for saying this to you repeatedly,
but you know how my mum is.
I'm well-aware of her personality.
Your mum...
Even when you were living with the other woman, your mum...
expected me to prepare dishes for your father's memorial ceremony.
Why did Mum do such a thing?
Back then, she said a lot of harsh things to me...
for not doing what she expected me to do.
The reason why you left this house,
the reason why Pa Ran went missing and...
the reason why my business wasn't doing well. She said that...
everything was because I was too cold-hearted and...
I didn't help with your father's memorial ceremonies.
Why do you still remember all the nonsense talk?
Yes, Gook Hee. She's my mum,
but there are lots of times when I think she's too much.
I want to apologise to you about it on her behalf.
Well, Gook Hee.
Don't just stand there. Make a bow to your father.
Yes, you should.
I'll go out and look for Mum.
I'm sure she's playing a card game with her friends at the town hall.
Go on with the ceremony, go on.
Oh, oh.
- Hey, Miss. - Goodness.
Why are you here?
If you ran away, did you think I wouldn't find you?
If you made a mistake...
Hey, I told you.
I didn't make any mistakes.
Nothing happened between us.
If that wasn't a mistake, it must have been love.
What kind of nonsense is this?
I'm telling you that you're already in my heart.
Hey. Why are you doing this to me?
Do I look easy to you?
- Do you want a taste of this... - Hold on.
Can I not love you?
Is love a sin?
Love is a sin.
Do you even know me?
Talking about love when you don't know me is wrong in itself.
I think about you all day long.
Whether I close or open my eyes, all I see is you.
When I eat, I see your face on my plate,
and when I'm relieving myself, I see your face on the toilet.
Stop acting so pathetic and just leave.
I'm telling you this for your own sake.
Go home, take a cold shower...
and forget my face and everything, okay?
Hey, I won't tell you to take responsibility any more.
Just meet me three more times.
Then, I can show you what kind of man I can be for you.
Okay.
Hey. Hey.
- Go. Go, you idiot. - That's not...
Go now.
Hey, listen. Hey!
Go away, you idiot...
Seriously. Go away.
Go now.
Don't go.
Hey!
Hey, give it another thought.
I'll be back tomorrow.
It feels great to be outside.
Aren't you cold?
Why would I be cold?
I have this.
Don't try to hide.
Feel free to tell me if you're stressed and worried.
Why should I be worried?
I didn't do anything wrong.
That's right. You didn't do anything wrong.
So if you're upset and you feel that it's unfair,
you can whine at me.
I don't know how I feel any more.
This is what I'm thinking now.
There's nothing I can do.
Because I don't have any power or any connections,
I have to put up with getting treated like this wherever I go.
I'm doing my best to stay positive and work as hard as I can,
but I feel as if a giant hand is grabbing me and not letting me go.
Because of it, I can't go forward or turn back.
Am I being too serious now?
Bom.
I'll never let you get treated like that again.
- Don't worry. - Gosh, Ma Ru.
You look super cool today.
You probably don't know it,
but I'm a very cool person.
Gosh, I hope that blogger wouldn't demand...
a reparation and try to take money from me.
It will all get resolved.
No, I'll make sure that it gets resolved.
Cheers.
Oh? Isn't that Bom?
Is that Ma Ru?
What's going on? Are they going out?
Gosh, she totally denied it.
Bom.
Are you coming home from your class?
Is there anything you want to say to me?
I want you to retake the exam and get into a college.
You did badly on the exam this year...
because you were stressed from Dad passing away.
But you should be able to get into a good college...
if you study hard for one year.
So, get back to studying, okay?
Whatever.
That's not what's important right now.
Why? Did something happen?
You and Ma Ru are going out, aren't you?
What are you talking about now?
I saw everything.
I saw you two looking happy together at the playground.
We were talking about our worries and concerns.
Why? Did you two have your first fight as a couple?
Goodness. You're totally wrong.
We're just friends.
Who are you trying to fool here?
By the way, Ga Eul. It's you who broke the piggy bank, right?
Piggy bank?
No, I don't know anything about it.
It is you!
You, brat.
How dare you empty out my piggy bank!
Mr Ma started pestering me...
to set him up with Bom...
as soon as he saw her photo.
How should I bring this up to Bom? How?
If I'm not careful about it,
she would be so angry and she wouldn't want to meet him.
Ga Eul, I told you not to stay out until late.
- I'll sleep in your room today. - Gosh, what are you doing?
Why is she acting like that?
Her face is red and she rushed into my room.
- I'm home. - You're home.
Bom, you must be tired from working.
Why are you so down?
Does the owner have a nasty temper?
No.
Then, are they asking you to pay for all the dishes you broke?
No, it's nothing like that.
By the way, have you ever dealt with...
crazy customers at the bar?
Of course I have.
The restaurant business is all about people.
I've dealt with people who left without paying and...
who said that the food wasn't good after eating everything.
There were people who put their hair in the food...
and threatened me to compensate them.
Gosh. Don't you remember?
The old man who was trying to come onto me and got hit by me.
He threatened me to pay for his dental bill.
That old man was really a piece of work.
So why would you want to work and deal with people like them?
Even if you keep on working as hard as you've been,
it'll take you many years to pay off all the debt.
So, you should get married.
Okay, I'll get married.
If the man can pay off all our debt...
and buy you a huge apartment,
I can marry him.
You're serious now, right?
You said it yourself, okay?
Yes, sure. Sure.
Look at all the negative comments.
Why are they saying mean things when they don't know what happened?
I didn't do anything wrong.
This blogger is lying.
Okay. All right.
- Hold on. - You startled me.
Ma Ru. Why are you here at this hour?
- Did you forget something? - That's not what I'm here for...
I would like to check something.
I was on my way home.
What are you looking for?
Is there a surveillance camera here?
The ones in the front are all that we have.
We can't install it here due to customer privacy.
I see.
What is it for?
We could've proved everything if we had that.
Everything should've been recorded.
What are you talking about?
Get out now.
You also saw everything, right?
Can't you reveal the truth on the internet?
I think that will be the most certain way.
I don't remember!
I was so busy that day that I can't recall anything.
Why do you care so much about other people's business?
Just keep to yourself and keep your mouth shut.
Otherwise, it'll just get more complicated.
I have something to ask.
I was wondering if you knew that the blogger was lying.
I heard about it from the manager.
Actually, my co-worker is in a bit of trouble...
because of the nasty article.
Could you please help with this?
Are you referring to the part-timer?
Yes.
Okay. Don't worry about it.
It's a pity that such a thing happened because of a part-timer,
but what can we do about it?
Since we have management responsibilities,
we'll do something to keep this quiet.
It's not actually her fault...
I know... Forget it.
Thank you.
I didn't expect that article to be read by so many people.
I have a bad feeling about this.
The truth will soon be revealed after all these rumours.
Don't worry about it too much.
Okay.
I hope everything will get resolved quickly.
The part-timer wouldn't have done things she shouldn't have...
without you knowing, would she?
No, she didn't.
I know her well.
Okay, that's a relief.
You should also be more careful...
before everything is sorted out.
Okay.
Ah Ran was trying hard to...
help you come back to the head office.
I hope you take care of things well so it doesn't go down the drain.
Father, I don't have intentions to go back to the head office yet.
Listen, Tae Ho.
I've never asked and wanted you...
to be good at and succeed in everything.
But it's also an ability to know...
how to make good use of the opportunity in front of you.
You should join the head office when you have the chance.
Don't you think you can become more successful if you join the company?
Sometimes, Ah Ran seems to be one step ahead of you...
and cleverer than you.
Hello, how are you?
What in the world is this?
How can you come to your in-law's house so often?
Isn't it generally uncomfortable?
Gosh.
I am Ah Ran's aunt.
Hello.
I've never heard about you,
but it's nice to meet you anyway.
Hello, Ah Ran!
Are you going to work now?
I know you are very busy.
Last time, I was mad at you at the office.
So I'm here with the flowers to ask for your forgiveness.
Here is something for you.
Take them.
Due to your frugal mother,
when was the last time you ever had a decent handbag?
Bags mean a lot to women.
Go on a date with Tae Ho holding this bag.
That's right.
I don't know what is going on, but you should take the bag.
At least she is showing her sincerity in her own way.
I don't like things like this.
How can you not like this?
Do you know how expensive this is?
I am busy. I have to go.
Ah Ran... Ah Ran!
This girl always looks down on me.
If a future mother-in-law comes over...
and apologises, she should at least act like she is accepting it.
Then why don't you just put these right over here?
I'll hand them over to Ah Ran when she comes back from work.
Well...
I can come back next time again.
That would be such a hassle.
It's not a hassle.
I've got it. It's okay.
Okay.
I'm going to just ignore the internet.
Even if I protest my innocence,
nobody would listen to me.
Mum, what happened to the store while I was not here?
The customers would feel better when they enter a clean store.
And that will give us a good image.
Aren't you going to your work?
I told you from morning on that the store is closed today.
There is no such thing as a free day for a part-time worker.
Shouldn't you go somewhere else to find work for the day?
I was going to...
but I want to take some rest today.
You're getting too lazy.
How can a young person find time to rest?
One can barely survive these days even when you work around the clock.
So what I'm saying is, since you're young,
snatch a well-established older man and...
Mum, you always tell me to get married these days,
it's not so easy to get married, okay?
Do you know how much money you need to get married?
My friends say, even though they have girlfriends or boyfriends,
they can't get married because they don't have enough money.
But how am I supposed to get married when we are so poor?
So I tell you...
Shoot.
Hello, Ma Ru.
I just wanted to tell you not to worry.
I was looking at that blog just a while ago,
and there are many people who support you too.
Oh, really?
I was busy with helping Mum, I didn't have time to think about it.
That's good.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Look.
Hello.
- She's such a weird person. - We should post this online.
What are you looking at?
It's nothing.
Let me have a look.
I'm more curious now because you are hiding it.
I'll only show it to you, okay?
I actually thought about posting it online for poor Bom,
but I didn't want to get involved in this scandal so I just kept it.
Have a look.
Oh my goodness!
What is this mess?
May I copy this?
No!
It will do me no good.
I'll make sure this doesn't cause you any trouble.
I'll just say I took the video.
What should I do?
I really don't have anything to do with this incident, okay?
Take it.
I was going to upload this video online,
but I thought the company may need it so I'm handing it over to you.
We should've checked if there was anything like this before.
I had not thought it through.
Anyway, please just clear Bom's innocence,
and I hope there is no more damage to the store.
Thank you, Ma Ru.
Don't worry about Bom.
It would have been better to come up with a solution yesterday.
I think we just lost time.
It is hard to stop something when it spreads on the internet.
I heard there are bad articles regarding the company,
it's surely a big problem.
It's already happened.
Tae Ho didn't do anything wrong.
I'm trying to think of this crisis as a chance.
You know about "noise marketing", right?
If we can advertise our brand name Poongildang,
and solve the problem and clear our name.
Wouldn't it be better?
The internet was going wild yesterday,
the only solution you could come up with is...
to bribe her and go on as if nothing has happened?
The incident became so serious. Do you think that will work?
This all happened because that blogger likes free things.
I thought perhaps we could silence her with cash.
That would mean that we admit we have done wrong.
Mr An will not be able to clear his name, either.
Or we can frame the fault all on that part-time worker.
When I called Mr Yang,
he said she didn't do anything wrong.
Hey,
I was going to go to you with this.
It's the video of the blogger being a tyrant.
She wrote such an article while she was the tyrant all along,
isn't that unbelievable?
So what do you what to do?
Of course, we should counteract.
We should clear Bom's reputation,
who was framed.
Tae Ho, do you want to fix the problem or not?
Let's say, we would put this video up online.
What are you going to do about what people would say to the manager...
who didn't take care of the poor part-timer kneeling down?
It could get you in trouble, Tae Ho.
I have to take responsibility for it.
Don't be so foolish.
If this gets resolved well,
it's only a matter of time that you can come back to the head office.
I'll take care of everything, so you don't need to do anything.
How will you take care of it?
I'll make sure that this doesn't damage us or the company in any way.
Don't worry.
Where is that part-timer?
You mean Bom?
She's not here today.
Where did she run away to after humiliating the company?
That's not what it is.
Today is her day off.
I have to speak to all of you about one thing.
There's a lot of talk online because of what happened yesterday.
Please be careful with what you say.
Don't spread words...
and make the situation worse for the company.
The company has to be successful...
in order to have you continue working for us.
- Okay. - Of course.
Are you not going to get down on your knees? No?
Are you not going to get down on your knees?
I'll apologise.
You should've done that earlier.
Everything can be resolved if you apologise.
You already got on your knees once, so doing it again isn't a big deal.
(Statement of Apology)
(I sincerely apologise. From Oh Bom)
Even if you work all year long, you can't dream of this much money.
I feel a little weird about letting it end this way,
but what can I do?
The part-timer took responsibility...
and saved Mr An and the bar.
Thanks to her, I can breathe a little now too.
This is how things are done in this industry.
I'm sure Mr An agreed to it too.
If not, I don't think he would've made the part-timer...
write the statement of apology and get out of it himself.
Yes.
The part-timer is in the wrong.
That's why she posted the statement of apology.
We should find out who she is so that she can't work any more.
Poongildang's manager didn't do anything wrong.
The part-time staff was the problem.
Ah Ran. What did you do?
Meet me now.
Ma Ru, what do you need now?
Where is Mr An?
I think I just saw him leaving.
You're such a coward.
Excuse me, you left the change.
He's so weird.
He kept staring at me.
I'm back.
Good job.
I'll go home and come back in a bit.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Yes, Mr Yang.
Excuse me, Oh Bom.
I'll call you back in a bit.
Who are you?
Excuse me, is Oh Bom...
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
I asked you to protect Bom.
She didn't do anything wrong, so why did you dump everything on her?
No matter what it takes, you must correct it.
I'll tell you honestly.
No one here will take your side.
I never wrote the statement of apology.
Ah Ran! You're unbelievable.
You make her get blamed for something she didn't do?
She's just a part-time staff. Why are you taking her side?
She's someone who sells her pride for a little bit of money.
I told you. This thing between us is never going to work out.
I'm a divorcee, and I have a kid too.
- So what? - You're out of your mind.
Please allow me to love you.
How do you think this is okay?
- This is a fraud. A fraud. - Mum.
I don't even want to see you any more, so leave the company now.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
