(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 30)
Come under the blanket.
It's hot all of a sudden.
Tell me about it.
I guess he's making a fire in the fireplace.
You should sleep in this room.
- Then... - Don't worry about me.
I can sleep on the wooden porch.
That's crazy talk.
Do you want to freeze to death?
I'll go and get another blanket for you.
Men should do things like that.
Just stay here.
You're not going to sleep on the wooden porch, are you?
Bom really impresses me.
It's amazing that she found this place to begin with,
and she was waiting outside in this cold weather?
She's already asleep.
She must've been exhausted from standing outside.
Her body's still cold.
What are you doing now?
Good morning, Mr Kim.
I wanted to clean the wine jars before you wake up.
Gosh, what did I tell you yesterday?
I told you to leave first thing in the morning.
Who told you to make a fire in the furnace?
I wanted to do something to thank you for letting me stay here.
I apologise if it upset you in any way.
Young lady. I have a rough idea of why you're doing this.
Stop wasting your time and just leave.
The water is already heated,
so I'll just clean the wine jars before I go.
Young lady.
Didn't you come all the way here to ask me to collaborate...
to make wine and sell them together?
I have no intention of making money with my wine,
so please just leave. Okay?
I'm someone who wants to make wine that I want to drink...
and enjoy them in whichever way I want.
You're the one who wrote in your book that...
wine gains its true value...
when it's shared with other people.
It's just something I said a long time ago without thinking much.
Do you expect me to live up to that?
You're not going to leave?
I need to add rice to the wine in a bit.
Leave now so that I can focus and work.
If that's the case, please allow me to observe before I leave.
Goodness! I don't want to waste my time with you.
Please, allow me.
If you kick me out like this now,
I'll never get another chance to see you make your wine.
This is the first and the last opportunity I have.
You talk too much. Just leave.
Bom.
Take her and leave now.
Go. Leave now.
Mr Kim. I beg you.
Are you not going to leave?
- I'm sorry. - But...
Then, please let me have one glass...
of your wine so that I can taste it.
Because of the ruckus you caused last night,
I forgot to filter the wine.
If that's the case, I should take out the yeast now...
and dry it at a sunny spot over there, right?
After drying the yeast under direct sunlight...
and filtering the wine in the evening,
I should be able to taste your wine, right?
Do you know about the filtering process?
I can't say I know much about it, but I understand how it works.
I'll help as well.
I think Ah Ran went to meet Mr Kim yesterday.
But unfortunately,
Mr Kim was making his wine, so she couldn't actually meet him.
I guess he still doesn't let anyone enter his house on brewing days.
It seems that he's still as stubborn as he was back in the days.
But I'm impressed by Ah Ran.
She read your mind...
and thought of bringing Mr Kim back to the company.
Is that so?
I know she made mistakes and made you worry,
but all of it was because she was eager to excel in her job...
in order to please you.
So, please forgive her now.
I'm also reflecting on my own mistakes.
I think I was putting too much pressure on her.
I'm thinking...
about how I should teach Ah Ran from now on.
I'm more concerned about that.
For now, just trust Ah Ran...
and let her work on bringing Mr Kim back.
Well, will she be able to persuade Mr Kim?
(Poongildang, Contract)
"We will entrust the brewing team at Poongildang Traditional Bar to you,"
"and we guarantee the highest compensation in the industry."
He's bull-headed, but he won't be able to say no to this offer.
Hi, you're here.
It looks like you're very busy.
I'm checking the fruit wine we received today.
They're all fermented in the same way, but they smell different.
Here, smell this.
It's okay.
Why isn't Bom here yet when there's so much to do at the bar?
I think she's still at Mr Kim's place.
She's still there?
What's she thinking?
He doesn't greet any guests...
when he's making wine.
Don't you think Bom is overdoing it?
I think she's trying to show him...
that we are eager to work with him.
It sounds like she waited outside for a long time in the cold...
and ended up meeting him.
Tae Ho, are you saying that she's done a good job?
Is that the reason why you followed her there yesterday?
Here. It lists the conditions of his contract.
I think you should check it too.
We need to offer him a competitive salary in order to hire him.
After hiring him, we can learn his traditional wine recipes...
as well as any secret tips he has...
and get patents for them, right?
So, are you saying that we won't tell him all of the conditions?
Think about it.
I heard that he's very stubborn and unpredictable.
Do you think he'll come here if we tell him everything?
Bom, do you think this will change his mind?
Earlier, Mr Kim acknowledged our presence at least.
But he's not even looking at us now.
We shouldn't worry about whether he's looking at us or not.
Make sure to keep the same distance between each pile of yeast.
That way, the mould and unpleasant odours will go away.
He won't be able to say no.
No, he shouldn't say no.
Don't worry too much.
We just have to let him know how sincere we are.
What do you mean by that?
Mr Kim can continue making good wine,
and we can market those wine to the public.
Don't be silly.
Whenever you talk like that,
do you know how incompetent you look?
I'm sincere about this one thing.
He's known for his talents and distinguished skills.
I'll give him enough compensation for what he can offer us.
That's all there is to it.
Mr Kim.
Bom.
What are you doing here?
I'm laying out the yeast to dry them.
Why are you doing that right now?
Do you think this is Poongildang's brewing room?
Mr Kim said he's adding rice to the wine today,
so I want to stay and watch it before I go.
In my position and with my abilities,
I can't really bring Mr Kim to Poongildang,
but I'll be able to learn from him and try it at our brewing room.
You don't need to think about that.
If you've done anything to interfere with what we're trying to do...
or to dishonour Poongildang, you'll have to pay for it.
She didn't do anything like that.
Who is it this time?
Mr Kim. I'm Bae Gook Hee's daughter, Choi Ah Ran.
You two. No, there's four of you including the two outside.
What did you come all the way here for?
I've expressed my intention very clearly.
I wanted to make my wine in whichever way I wanted,
so I left Poongildang.
When I went to the factory to see my mum as a kid,
you used to give me rice wine cakes.
Do you remember?
I hate talking about the past.
Is Ms Bae doing okay?
Yes, she talks about you from time to time.
I'm sure she goes around telling people that I'm a stubborn old man.
No, she doesn't.
In fact, she still wants you to come back to the company.
That's why I came here.
I already turned my back on her a long time ago.
I don't like working for a company.
Stop trying to convince me and please leave.
Please don't say that.
We are well aware that the traditional liquor you made...
formed the basis of Poongildang.
That's why Poongildang has come up with a new plan.
We will develop a new type of natural hand-made makgeolli...
to cater to customers who truly loves traditional liquor.
We need your help.
Please, Sir.
We will do our best.
I said I'm not interested.
Please take a look at this.
What is this?
I can't believe this.
Look here.
Who do you think I am?
Do you think I make wine for money?
Do you think...
I will come back to the company if you offer me a lot of money?
I didn't mean that.
If there is anything you want,
I can draw up the contract again.
I don't need it.
What should I do?
What on earth does he want?
Let's go back to Seoul and look over the contract again.
I thought you'd love this.
I brought some side dish for you.
This is mustard greens kimchi.
This is salted baby octopuses.
And this is fermented walleye pollock which I just brought...
from Sokcho.
What do you think you are doing?
Do you think they would make up for your mistake?
This is leek pancake by the way.
Try some. Here you go.
I'm not interested.
What will you do about this?
I can't even go to the senior citizen centre...
because of my red hair.
What did I tell you?
I will take care of it no matter what.
Look. This is the best hair-dye.
Only rich women in Gangnam use it.
Please trust me. It will work this time.
Only rich women...
in Gangnam use this hair-dye?
Are you sure?
Of course I am.
I paid a lot for this.
Take a look.
I like the colour and your service.
You did a good job.
- Take a seat there. - Okay.
By the way, are you seeing anyone?
Unfortunately, I've never been...
in a serious relationship despite my appearance.
Really? Do you want to meet a woman, though?
Of course I do.
What about the age? Do you prefer young women?
I don't like women who are too young for me.
I rather prefer women who are older than me.
Really?
Age doesn't matter. I like a woman who is open-minded like you.
I want someone who share similar interests as me.
I'd love someone who is...
genial just like you.
But I think she wouldn't be...
good enough for you.
Maybe I overreacted yesterday.
Right. We don't know what might happen in the future.
I should pay the bill.
You again? Why are you here again?
Yesterday, I was...
Do you want me to pay for your medical bills?
I'm not saying that.
Do you think I am a pushover?
Go away!
What a rude person!
She didn't even let me speak.
I should just...
What am I going to tell her?
She's only going to get madder.
I feel so lonely being in this empty house.
My heart aches.
You look so ignorant whenever you do this.
I'm sick of you.
I wish I could spend a day without having to hear you babble.
I'll go to my room.
I'm not finished talking.
Tae Ho! Son!
It is my fault that I spoiled you...
when you were young.
I should have disciplined you properly.
Go away.
Everything is so meaningless to me.
We heard the rumour.
He is so stubborn.
He will never come back to the company.
It is out of the question. Just give up and come back.
Mr An. I just got a call from Ma Ru.
He said he would be out of the office until tomorrow morning.
Is he still at Mr Kim's house?
Yes. Ma Ru says he is trying his best to convince Mr Kim with Bom.
Isn't it ridiculous?
Bom is an intern and Ma Ru is just a part-time worker.
What are they doing there?
Maybe they are dating there...
on the pretext of working.
Don't you think so?
They are two young people.
And they are alone together in a remote place.
It is impossible not to have an affair.
Please don't say that.
Come to think of it,
Ma Ru is always so kind to Bom.
They say they are friends,
but they seem to be more than just friends.
We should prevent our employees from dating each other.
They are getting on my nerves.
I know you and Ms Choi keep your private and public life separate.
I'm not talking about you.
But it is different for Bom and Ma Ru.
I'm worried if they are doing something else.
I think I should leave for the day.
Please check the bar for me.
Okay. Leave it to me.
I skimmed the malt in the yard.
I will wake up early tomorrow morning...
and draw the water from the well and cook the rice hard.
That's useless.
I thought you were going to knead the rice...
with the malt in the morning.
I may look weak, but I have strong arms.
Please tell me what to do.
I will do everything you ask of me.
What are you doing?
I'm cooking. I haven't cooked in a while.
It smells delicious.
This is not for you. Don't even think about eating it.
The soup is good.
What is that?
I made some food with the ingredients in the kitchen.
Did someone ask you to cook?
Why did you cook when no one asked you?
I usually do things before I'm asked.
That's why I'm here.
I don't want to eat it. Take it back.
Please just have a bite. I worked hard to make this.
Kneading rice with malt is a difficult job.
You'll have to work early in the morning tomorrow.
In order to do so, you'll need to eat something.
It's dried pollock soup. Please have some.
I think it would go well with...
the liquor you were having.
Goodness.
Dried pollock soup goes well with liquor.
Okay.
Would you like a glass too?
I'd be honoured if you allow me to drink with you.
I'll use this.
What is that?
It's my good luck charm. This will help me make great wine.
All right. Let me pour you some.
Oh, excuse my manners.
I make that sound whenever I drink good wine.
It's so good that it tastes like honey.
I also think it smells like magnolia blossoms in spring.
To me, it's a taste that reminds me of other people.
What do you mean by that?
Your wine makes me think of my mum and my uncle at home...
as well as my friends and my dad who passed away.
I think of people like the woman who gave me this good luck charm.
I want to share your wine with the people I love.
That's how it makes me feel.
Do you mean that the taste makes you think of your loved ones?
Yes. That's exactly it.
You can't change my mind with your flattery.
I'm not trying to flatter you.
I'm telling you how I really feel.
You can leave now.
Did you talk to Mr Kim about it?
I couldn't even bring up the company name.
I knew that it wouldn't work.
We just wasted our time.
That wasn't a waste of time.
Think about everything we got to do here.
We laid out the good-quality yeast to dry them.
We rinsed the newly harvested rice and cooked it for the wine.
Also, you went with Mr Kim...
to the spring earlier to get water.
So we didn't waste our time but we wasted our energy.
Think of it as a great learning opportunity.
The yeast that Mr Kim prepared,
the quality of it is superior to anything I've seen.
We can't experience this anywhere else.
Bom. Do you love traditional wine that much?
Yes. I think it runs in my blood.
My dad used to be known as a wine connoisseur in Hapjeong-dong.
He would always drink two bottles of makgeolli by himself.
And as you know, my mum owns Bar Chowon.
And I'm their daughter.
Your eyes sparkle whenever you talk about traditional wine.
They sparkle like those stars.
You're giving me goose bumps.
I really mean it.
Your eyes are like stars.
Why did I come back here?
You're saying that my eyes are sparkling like those stars?
To a certain extent, I guess.
By the way, aren't you cold?
It's getting a little chilly.
Your ears are red.
Bom.
You're still here?
Mr An. What brings you here?
We should leave.
I don't think you can change his mind by staying here.
Changing his mind isn't the only reason why I'm staying here.
I learned so many things...
by following him around all day.
They're things that I can try at our bar.
Okay. Let's go now.
But why did you come back here, Mr An?
I called the bar and told them that we couldn't come to work today.
We should all head back anyway.
Yes. I'm happy to see you.
Those two kids have been bugging me so much all day.
Please take them with you.
I apologise for the inconvenience.
Mr Kim. I'll stay until tomorrow morning...
and help you when you're putting the yeast into the rice...
and leave after that.
You're so stubborn.
Instead of volunteering to do hard work,
you should just leave when someone is here to pick you up.
Mr Kim.
Bom. You've done your best. Let's go now.
He's right.
You tried your best. Let's leave now.
Persuading Mr Kim isn't a priority for me.
Don't you want to see how the ingredients we prepared today...
are going to be used tomorrow morning to make the wine?
He's kicking us out like this, so he won't show us anything.
But can I ask him one more time? Please?
Let's go now.
Being stubborn like this can be seen as rude.
A taste that makes her think of her loved ones...
Bom is just an intern at the traditional bar.
Why is she sent on a work trip for two nights?
All companies are like that these days.
No company pays their employees to just sit and do nothing.
Employees are required to work very hard.
Did you give Bom's photo to Mr Ma, the owner of the butcher's shop?
What?
What photo are you talking about?
Well, I was passing by the butcher's shop earlier, and Mr Ma...
showed me Bom's photo and asked me if she's my niece.
That stupid man. I told him to keep his lips sealed until it's done.
Gosh, you're too much.
How can you even think about letting Bom marry a man like him?
You idiot. I can come up with ideas like that because I'm smart.
I feel terrible watching Bom having to work so hard,
so I'm trying to help her live a comfortable life.
How old is Mr Ma?
I'm sure he's at least 10 years older than me.
He's way too old for Bom.
Well, I'm not going to drag Bom and force her into marrying him.
I just want to introduce him to her.
She can marry him if she likes him.
I brought her photo back.
Here it is. Let's just say that it never happened.
You idiot! Why did you bring this back?
Mr Ma is already head over heels in love with Bom.
We just have to persuade Bom now.
Mum, have you seen my identification photo?
Why are you looking for it?
Bom keeps telling me that I should go to college.
I'll just apply to prestigious colleges, so they won't accept me.
Don't just blurt out anything.
The construction company called earlier today.
Why did they call?
They want us to pick up Dad's belongings left in the office.
Gosh, all of his belongings...
must be useless things that are of no value.
Just tell them to throw everything out.
Mum, how can you say that?
I'll go and pick them up, so don't worry about it.
Ga Eul. Stop thinking about your dead father.
Think about me, too.
You should think about Young Ho and be good to Bom.
Stop being a mean stepmother.
- I'm home. - Bom, you're home.
You said you weren't coming home tonight because of the work trip.
What happened? Did you get fired again?
No, don't worry.
Bom, you look a little tired today.
Yes, I am tired. I'll get some rest.
Look at her.
She's working too hard to make money.
Wouldn't it be great if she meets a rich man and lives a good life?
Does she have to marry a rich man to live a good life?
Even if the couple is poor, if they really love each other...
and can live happily together, that is a good life in itself.
If they have to starve, living happily together will be impossible.
Bom, come with me to Dad's office tomorrow.
Why are you going there?
They want us to pick up Dad's belongings left there.
If we don't pick them up soon, they'll throw out everything.
Didn't you say that your final exam starts tomorrow?
I can just go for the exam.
Isn't the exam score considered when you apply to universities?
I'll go and pick up Dad's stuff,
so you should just focus on studying for the exam.
You tell me to study every single day.
You nag at me more than Mum does.
By the way, why did you make such a mess here?
I was looking for a photo to use on the application form.
Do you want this?
This was found in Dad's pocket when he passed away.
He probably wanted to give it to you.
Gosh, it's so ugly.
How can I wear something like this?
Even three-year-old kids won't wear something like that these days.
Fine, I'll keep it.
It's so pretty.
It looks ridiculous.
Okay. I see.
I will tell my father.
Did they tell you to take your mum's stuff from the office?
They are going to vacate the office, so they want us to bring her stuff back.
I don't even want to know that.
I think it's best that you don't tell your dad about this.
You know what I mean, right?
Then what will I do with Mum's stuff?
Just throw them out.
Why would you need your dead mum's stuff in the first place?
When Mum was alive,
you were never kind to her and extorted money from her...
whenever you could.
Now you want to throw away her stuff?
Stop talking about the past.
Things have just started going well for your dad.
We shouldn't ruin that for him.
Do you understand?
(Certificate of Confirmation)
Did you want to see me?
I received Pa Ran's declaration certificate of her disappearance.
Please give this to the community centre.
Pa Ran.
We should do it later.
(Poongildang)
Ms Bae. This is the conference materials for the executive board.
Is something wrong?
Pa Ran is officially declared missing.
It came out faster than we expected.
I know.
Then I will take care of the documents.
That's okay.
I will take care of it.
Okay.
(Missing Child)
Excuse me. I'm here for Oh Young Ho's belongings.
It is in the drawer.
Hang on.
Here you are.
Okay. Thank you.
(Missing Child)
He kept a diary although he was very busy.
Bom.
Ma Ru.
