(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
I'm sorry.
To be honest, I did write that statement of apology.
I wanted to help you out so much...
that I must've lost my mind.
What should I do now?
Mum found out.
She told me to leave.
She told me to leave the company.
What should I do?
I'm scared, Tae Ho.
It's okay.
Why are you scared? I'm here for you.
You said you were leaving.
You were going to leave me.
You do know, don't you?
I'm not someone who writes a fake statement of apology...
to hurt someone on purpose.
Of course.
All I wanted was...
to bring you next to me.
But everything is ruined.
Ah Ran.
It's all my fault.
Who could I blame for something I've done wrong?
How can she be so selfish?
She doesn't care about how anyone else turns out...
if it's good for her boyfriend.
Come on. Why couldn't I say anything...
when I found out that she was the one who faked the statement?
Ah Ran, you're a wonderful person.
Even if nobody knew, I know.
I'm not wonderful. I always complain.
Who would love me more than you, Ah Ran?
Who would think of me as much as you do?
That makes you the most wonderful person to me.
Tae Ho.
That's why you've become an unkind person to everyone else.
You only think about me.
You're hurting others for my sake.
What should I do?
Mum is angrier than ever.
She called me a fraud.
She treated me as if she didn't want to see me any longer.
Tae Ho, you won't desert me, will you?
You won't leave, will you?
I apologise for what happened at the bar.
Consider yourself lucky. It could've been a lot worse.
We can't take precautions on incidents like these.
Also, that blogger seemed to have...
caused similar troubles in other places.
We were just one of the unlucky victims.
But I should have trained and taken precautions...
on part-timers at the bar.
I'm very sorry.
I just hope that this wouldn't lead to demoralisation of workers.
I'm also concerned about the young part-timer.
I hope she's not too hurt. She just began her work life.
What Ah Ran did to resolve the situation was to pretend...
to be the part-timer, and write the statement of apology...
which deceived many.
I'm embarrassed to mention these things to you, Tae Ho.
It's all my fault.
I wasn't doing well enough.
That's why Ah Ran played a risky card.
Tae Ho, you pamper her like a child every time.
That's why she makes those rash decisions.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to scold you.
I'm the one who's embarrassed about not bringing her up well.
I'm frustrated about...
what I should do about her from now on.
Mum is very mad, isn't she?
You know about her upright character...
as well as I do.
Things that belittle me keeps on happening.
I'm grieved.
You must have a difficult time considering Tae Ho's career, too.
Don't say that.
Tae Ho's trouble is my trouble.
Do you think Mum would really get rid of me from the company?
Don't be too worried.
Only a few know about the fact...
that you wrote the apology. Your mum, me...
and the team leader of data processing department.
Also, she hasn't said anything in particular yet.
She must be deep in thought.
You know my mum.
She doesn't treat me like a daughter.
Her standards on me are just as strict.
She demoted me last time...
so she will definitely have me take responsibility.
If that happens, I'll beg her for mercy.
This only happened because you wanted...
to help Tae Ho.
Sir...
I think you may need to do something...
in order to lighten up...
your mum.
What should I do with this money?
If I had told Bom,
she would've made me give it back.
If I give it back now,
she'll find out that I used half of it for the rent and get angry.
Goodness.
Why is it that every time she brings me money,
it always gives me worries too?
Bom, you...
Why are you home so early when you went out to figure it all out?
I got fired.
You got fired? Why?
I've been told that the contract is terminated as of today.
Is that right? That's great!
What do you mean it's great?
Bom, you said you wanted to focus on finding a real job.
I'll support you for six months and pay for your classes...
and give you pocket money too,
so you should forget about helping me at the bar and just study.
Mum, you swore and signed a paper saying...
that you'd give me enough time for job search,
but you never kept your promise for that.
This time, I'll fully support you so that you can focus on job searching.
No, I can get a part-time job elsewhere.
I'll find another part-time job.
I'll also look for a real job while doing that.
That girl... It doesn't look like she knows anything.
She's out of Poongildang now,
so no one would say anything about the money I received.
I'm home.
Why is Mum acting like that?
What does she want?
Ah Ran, could I borrow this from you just one time?
Please? Please?
I'm embarrassed about wearing the same thing every day.
Lend it to me just once, please?
If you lend this to me, I'll let you wear what your mum bought me...
one time too. Okay?
What's wrong?
Are you feeling sick?
Oh, my goodness. It looks like you're really ill.
I'll bring your mum. Wait a little bit.
Be quiet.
"Be quiet." What are you talking about?
- What if it gets worse... - I said you should be quiet.
They're sleeping. Don't make such a fuss.
Did you argue with your mum?
I knew this would happen.
Things didn't seem too good between you two lately.
I told you to be quiet.
I used to argue with my mum a lot too.
It's a natural thing that mothers and daughters argue here and there.
When my mum was alive,
I argued with her three times a day, in the morning, afternoon and night.
They say that spats between mums and daughters never last.
Here, give it to me.
You hate me, don't you?
Even if you hate seeing me flattering your mum,
don't be so bothered by it.
No matter what I do,
you'll always be at least a hundred times...
more important to her than me.
How are things for you these days, Ji Ah?
I don't know too much about it, but I heard that for ballet,
even a short break can throw you out of shape. How is it going?
Thanks to your support, I'm getting back into it without any difficulty.
Thank you.
Eat this braised potato dish.
You don't like spicy things, so I didn't put any chilli peppers.
It's delicious.
Ma Ru. You should stop working at the bar...
and start getting ready to go back to school in the States.
If you're too thoughtful,
you'll end up worrying about things that you don't need to worry about.
Thank you for your concern.
But regardless of going back to the States,
I want to continue working at the bar for as long as I can.
A few kitchen staff and servers quit in the last few days,
so they're short-staffed at the moment.
Gook Hee, I know work must be very busy for you,
yet you're taking time to show the kids your concern and support.
I'm so thankful.
Jung Ki even held her father's memorial ceremony.
Compared to that, talking to these kids over breakfast is nothing.
Gosh, Mum. Seriously...
Let us be classy and enjoy our breakfast, okay?
In a family, overly expressing...
gratefulness and saying these things aren't good.
Not really expressing gratefulness or feeling hurt.
That's what families do.
You're likely to keep people at a distance if you thank them too much.
Mum, feeling grateful is a good thing.
If we don't say, we never know.
Tell me. What did you want to talk to me about?
I'll help you if it's something I can do.
The video clip of what happened at the bar.
I'm the one who uploaded it online.
- Is that so? - I was worried that it might...
put Poongildang in a difficult position,
but I couldn't stand watching my friend being falsely accused...
and being stressed out about it when she didn't do anything wrong.
I apologise if it hurt the company in any way.
Not at all.
I was worried about you thinking that you're too kind,
but now I know that you're decisive, and you're also a great friend.
But...
how is your friend doing?
That incident must've really hurt her.
She's straightforward and doesn't hold grudges,
so she's still as brave as she's always been.
Why are you coming out of that room?
I'm asking you.
Why did you need to talk to my mum?
By chance, were you talking to her about your friend?
I told her that I'm the one who uploaded Bom's video clip.
Did you just say that you uploaded the video?
You, seriously... What were you thinking?
That video clip has put the company in such a difficult position.
We let you stay in this house and fed you,
and you stab us in the back like this?
Are you feeling better?
You didn't even eat anything.
Stop bugging me.
I really hate seeing you and your brother around.
You two remind me of leeches that suck blood out of people.
Gosh, what's wrong with you now?
Get out now.
I don't think it's your body that is ill. It must be your mind.
Where are the socks?
Are there no black socks?
Are they all in the washing machine?
What about my handkerchief?
Give me my handkerchief.
It was so hard to stop myself from telling him.
Look, Honey.
I hid all of your black socks in the washing machine...
because I hate you so much.
And your handkerchief is at the left corner inside the drawer.
- I'll see you later. - Whatever.
You're uncomfortable because I'm being quiet, aren't you?
I know that you're trying to meet Ah Ran...
and keep going to her house and her office these days.
When did I do that?
You should know when and how to act.
Ah Ran is trying to bring Tae Ho back to the head office,
so she's stressed out these days.
Stop bothering her and leave her alone.
What did I do?
Did she tell you that she'd dump Tae Ho because of me?
I'm just telling you to be careful.
If you can't help them with their work,
you shouldn't disturb them at least.
Goodness, seriously...
He never listens to me and only says what he wants.
People say a successful man makes his wife lonely...
and a successful son abandons his mum.
That saying is exactly for me.
Hey, you. What have you been up to?
I only said that you don't have to go abroad.
I didn't mean that you could roam around like a good-for-nothing.
If you don't want to go to Canada,
you need to study here.
I believe I am finished talking to you and Dad about that issue.
Even if you choose to do music,
you need some degree and qualification to work these days.
No matter how long...
you sing on the streets with a guitar, it won't work.
Do you really think people would listen to your songs?
Mother, I will take care of my own life.
So don't you worry.
What's with you?
You never spoke in honorifics to me.
I want to become a real man.
I finally realised the difficulties of life...
you and Dad went through to raise me after I started working.
What are you really up to these days?
Mother, you don't need to know what a man does in detail.
If you aren't willing...
to support 3,500 dollars for me to buy an instrument,
you'll have to excuse me. I need to make money.
Hey, are you threatening your mother?
My goodness, this is awful.
I'm so frustrated.
Why does everyone say what they want to say?
Hey, you're here.
Mi Dal was looking for you.
What's wrong?
You look more stressed overnight.
Stop saying useless things, and get out.
It must be a girl problem.
I'm a professional with girl problems.
My high school classmate is...
dating a model because I helped him.
Just tell me, and I'll resolve it right away.
Really?
I hope he doesn't come today.
Aunt, come have tteokbokki.
No thanks, you go eat.
Why in the world did Bae Dal come here yesterday?
Is there something going on between you two?
There's nothing.
Then, I don't see why Bae Dal would call me...
to ask me things about you in detail.
He asked me where I moved to...
and if I live with you.
Are you and Bae Dal...
- flirting? - Flirting? No way.
Take a look at me. He clearly doesn't deserve me.
Oh, my. I see.
What's so bad about Bae Dal?
He's a nice man, and he has a great personality.
And he's younger than you.
You never see anything else in men...
other than their faces, don't you?
When did I ever say that?
Stop speaking nonsense and get out.
I'm going to eat all the tteokbokki.
Go ahead.
My goodness, I only flirted because he was good-looking.
I didn't know it would go this far.
How can someone of his age be that naive?
It's so tacky of him trying to get to me in such a straightforward way.
My goodness, what should I do?
This is driving me insane.
You need to be straightforward.
- Straightforward? - Of course.
There's a saying that goes...
"Ten thousand strokes fell great oaks."
How would I stroke 10,000 times?
Then, try at least a hundred.
It's also in the Bible.
"Knocking brings luck."
No, it wasn't luck that came after knocking.
What was it?
That's not important.
How can you get to her?
I think she's someone who loves romantic situations.
Then, why don't you try this?
Hey.
Oh, my.
Hey.
Will you...
go out with me?
You will be my first girlfriend.
I will love you...
till death.
I am...
yours.
I said...
get a grip, didn't I?
Hey, you're too harsh.
Come on!
Those sneaky grandmas, they should be honest...
even if we were playing cards for only a couple of dollars.
If I ever play cards with those sneaky ones again,
I will call myself a different name, not Eul Nyun.
Oh? Excuse me, sir.
What are you doing in front of my house?
Was it raining or what?
Why are you wet?
My goodness.
What's with him?
Why are there so many foolish men...
visiting our home lately?
My goodness.
Bom, it doesn't matter if I make you an intern or a permanent worker.
You just do things on my orders.
Where are you going? I thought you were fired.
I need to go find another part-time job.
Where would I find money to pay the debt if I sit around at home?
Don't worry about the debt. You should look for a permanent job.
What's with you, Mum?
You were always keen to shove her around.
When?
Don't worry, I know the ins and outs of this house.
I can't focus on studying knowing we have no steady income.
I'll be back.
Look at her.
She's practically the head of the household.
She brings hard work on herself.
You should learn fromm your sister.
Mum, would you want me to bring hard work on myself, too?
You little...
What brings you here?
Can we talk?
I have nothing more to say.
I've already been fired...
and I decided to move on, so don't worry about me.
I am very sorry for what happened.
If I did something wrong, please do forgive me.
I said, don't worry.
Bom, I actually came to ask you for a favour.
Bom, how would you like to work as an intern at the bar?
There's a chance to become a permanent worker, too.
Why are you offering this to me?
It's difficult to find...
someone as responsible and smart as you, Bom.
This incident happened because of your sense of responsibility.
Didn't you just terminate my contract yesterday?
That must be an administrative mistake.
I was shocked to hear that from you too.
So let's put aside our past.
I'd like you to come in as an intern for Poongildang.
We can discuss further details as we walk to my car.
Let's go.
Ma Ru.
Hey, couldn't you knock?
I didn't see anything.
Get dressed quickly.
I have something to discuss with you.
What happened?
The head office wants to hire me as their intern.
Really? That's great news.
But something doesn't feel quite right.
It's a good opportunity, but I'm not sure if I should take it.
Bom, someone once said this.
People who are too thoughtful worry about unnecessary things.
So just take it. It's a good thing.
Could I?
There isn't anyone who works as hard as you do.
That's why you received this opportunity.
Our store was recently rather disturbed, wasn't it?
Please be extra careful with customer service from now on.
Smooth out customer service...
and make sure to always keep the kitchen clean.
I believe you all learned a lesson...
that you have to hide your feelings...
as faces of Poongildang when you're out front.
- Yes. - Yes.
Also, Bom has been hired as an intern.
Please do help her to get used to her position.
- That's great news. - Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Poongildang values every one of you.
Let's do this, everyone.
- We can do it. - We can do it!
- Congratulations. - This is great.
Thank you.
I'll speak to the head office...
- about Bom coming in as an intern. - Good job.
I hired her as an intern for you, Tae Ho.
I have to do these things to put your mind at ease, right?
Ah Ran. From now on,
I hope you don't treat other people unfairly because of me.
Stop it.
Did you really have to say that when I've done this much for you?
Let's really stop talking about this.
It's all over now.
To resolve this matter properly, the company should make...
a formal apology in an official announcement.
That means we're admitting that we made a mistake.
Is that absolutely necessary?
No matter what happened, we, as a company, are responsible for...
managing our employees and taking care of problems that arise.
We were just unlucky...
and had to deal with a blogger with malicious intentions.
And we don't know who wrote the part-timer's statement of apology.
First, we should find out who wrote the statement...
and figure out how the video footage leaked out.
Finding out who wrote the statement isn't what's important.
Everyone uses the internet these days,
so anyone could've fabricated and posted the statement of apology.
I think that we should make an official apology...
and try to resolve this matter on a positive note.
And please pay special attention to keeping employees encouraged.
If the employees at Poongildang aren't happy,
our wines won't be able to...
make our customers happy either, right?
On that note,
I'd like to let you know that Ah Ran hired the part-timer...
as an intern to encourage and support her.
Ah Ran must've been busy dealing with this matter too,
so I'm impressed that she took time to think about this.
Let's stop talking about this matter now.
Bom must've been really hurt by all this,
but I guess she's still working at the bar...
and trying to do her best.
I told the PR Team to post an official statement of apology.
Mr An, do I have anything specific on my schedule today?
Would you like to leave early today?
I'd like to go to the bar...
and see how the staff are doing.
Would you like to go have lunch now?
Don't worry about me. You should go have your lunch.
What's up with her? Why is she acting all nice suddenly?
Who knows when she'll change? I'm scared.
Oh, hello.
You're not going for lunch?
I don't have much appetite.
Ms Bae went to the Traditional Bar to check up on them.
She'll be stopping at a traditional wine conference on the way,
so you should go to the bar first and chat with the staff there.
Okay.
You're here.
I was worried that you'd be put in a difficult position,
but it looks like the company's official statement of apology...
has completely resolved the problem.
Mr Yang, I'm sure you've been very stressed about it too.
By the way, how will we resolve the issue with over-fermentation?
I know.
Another issue arises...
after putting one to rest.
Working here, I'm realising that I have to stay alert at all times.
But isn't it okay to drink that wine?
It hasn't gone bad,
and it's such a waste to discard it.
Even if it's only one staff member saying that the wine tastes off,
we still can't serve it to customers.
That's what I'm saying.
Bom is so strange.
I don't even know how she smelled what no one else could.
What a hassle.
Ma Ru, please discard the overly fermented makgeolli.
The winemaking team, carefully check the temperature and humidity level.
- Yes. - Okay.
And the sales of our makgeolli cocktails are gradually going up.
Please make sure we always have enough fresh fruits ready at hand.
- Let's get to work. - Okay.
Thanks to you, we were able to pick out the overly fermented makgeolli.
I feel bad for throwing it out.
But what can we do?
Hold on. I have an idea.
Fill 70 percent of a clean, sterilised jar...
with raw makgeolli.
Cover it with a muslin cloth...
and keep it in room temperature.
Will this really work?
This is what my mum used to do at her bar.
And I majored in Food and Nutrition in university.
I'm well-versed in both theoretical and practical aspects.
It just needs to be stored like this in an open space where...
air can circulate and where there is no sunlight.
This will be a good spot.
So, you're saying that this will turn into vinegar?
To be more exact, it's called jongcho.
It's like a starter for vinegar.
Ms Bae.
Mr An. Just treat me like one of your staff here.
This is a little gift from me to thank you for your hard work.
All of you have been working so hard.
I'm sorry for not doing this earlier.
If customers are unreasonable or rude to you in the future,
the company will be on your side and take care of the problem for you.
So, please don't be discouraged and keep up the great work.
- Yes. - Thank you.
All right. Please get back to work now.
- Okay. - Okay.
Why is she doing this now? She was always rude to us,
and she used to treat us like her maids.
- That's what I'm saying. - I know.
Mum, what brings you here?
Since you are here,
you should apologise to the part-time staff.
About what?
Apologise to her about posting the fake apology statement.
Mum, I hired her as an intern because of that.
Isn't that enough as a compensation?
How can that replace an apology?
You should sincerely apologise to her.
I don't want to. Why should I?
I gave you a chance.
Mum!
Gosh...
Hello!
I was so worried about you...
thinking that you might have been fired because of me.
Why would I be fired?
I work at other places too.
I see.
I read an article about you on the internet.
You must've been really stressed out because of it.
It's all done now.
Right, I've been hired as an intern here.
The company wanted to help me. It all worked out for the best.
That's great.
I was worried you might be down, but I'm glad to see you looking happy.
Fine. I can apologise if I have to.
I can do it if it can change Mum's mind.
I can do anything.
Come here, come and look at this.
What is this?
It's jongcho.
We had makgeolli that tasted a bit off, so I made this with it.
You know how to make these things too?
If you leave all-natural makgeolli in room temperature...
and stir once in a while, it turns into an amazing vinegar.
I'll give you a bottle when it's ready.
Goodness, thanks.
You're so sweet.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
- How did Bom start working here? - Why do you ask, Ah Ran?
It's suspicious. Something is strange.
That young lady, Oh Bom.
- Can she join the winemaking team? - Mum!
How can he give up after getting water dumped on him once?
He's so fainthearted that he won't be able to succeed in anything.
Hello, my name is Lee Bae Dal.
It's my grandmother.
I thought you were Jung Mi's sister.
Gosh, goodness.
- Ma Ru. We have a mission. - Mission?
My first mission as the winemaking team member. You'll help me, right?
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
