(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
Do you know Oh Young Ho?
He died trying to save your mother.
He died an innocent man,
but his family didn't even get compensation for it.
I apologise.
Ma Ru.
Why did you come here? I was going to be back shortly.
Hold on, do you know each other?
Yes. She's my friend.
Goodness. I don't understand young people these days.
Both of your parents died in an unfortunate accident like that.
How can the two of you be friends?
Mr Oh Young Ho's daughter, you must be extremely forgiving.
Bom.
I'm sorry. I'll get going.
Bom, wait.
Bom.
Where is Ma Ru?
Bom.
Ma Ru. Are these Mum's belongings?
I need to go.
Bom, I'm just...
Bom, wait for us!
Gosh, what's wrong with Bom?
Both of your parents died in an unfortunate accident like that.
How can the two of you be friends?
What does that even mean?
What did Ma Ru's mum do?
How did Dad pass away?
Mr Ma is unmarried but old.
If he gets to marry a young lady like Bom,
he should do more than just paying off our debt.
Shall I ask Mr Ma to let me run my bar in his five-story building?
Bom, you're home.
Mum. Can I ask you something?
What is it? Sure, ask away.
When Dad passed away...
Do you know exactly how the accident took place?
Why do you ask?
We were in shock and didn't know what to do after Dad passed away,
so we couldn't really look into the details of the accident.
Goodness. Even when I tried to look into what happened,
no one gave me any information.
The owner of the company died with your dad in the accident,
so who would tell us about what exactly happened?
By the way, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? Why?
We didn't get any compensation, and it makes my blood boil.
Well...
Let's stop talking about the past.
From now on, we should...
just go on with our lives and focus on our brighter future.
Don't you agree?
That's what I was trying to do, but...
Goodness. It must be time for you to consider getting married.
You're reminiscing your dad.
Bom, marriage is the most important thing for women.
All of the painful memories you've had in your family...
will just become something to reminisce after you get married.
Are these all?
Her dirty work uniform and...
this accounting book filled with negative numbers are everything?
What else would she have left in an office at a construction site?
Mum worked so hard and lived a humble life.
But we thought our family was rich because of our Mum's business,
and we went shopping, took trips and even studied abroad.
We lived very frivolously.
Ji Ah, but...
I...
These will always remind me to work harder and succeed.
These show us how hard Mum worked to give us better lives.
Whenever I lose my focus, I'm going to look at these and remind myself.
By the way, why are you looking so spaced out?
Is it because you're thinking about Mum?
Oh, it's nothing.
It looked like Bom was a little angry at you too.
Did something happen between you two?
No, nothing happened.
Yes, Ma Ru.
Where's Ji Ah? Is she home now?
Yes, we came home together.
Ma Ru, did something happen?
Why are you looking so down?
Nothing happened.
By the way, Dad. When Mum passed away,
do you know what actually happened at the construction site?
I'm not sure. I heard that it was an accident caused by negligence.
Back then, I was preoccupied with dealing with your mum's debt.
So, I left the insurance company in charge of dealing with the accident.
I see.
What should I say to Bom?
Oh? Ma Ru.
- Hello. - Yes. It's been a while.
Are you here to see Bom? Shall I call her for you?
No, it's okay.
Hey, Ma Ru.
Something's up, right?
Well...
Right. You're too young to understand life or this world.
I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.
I'll get going now.
Hold on. Hold on.
By chance, did you hear your aunt saying anything?
Not really.
Okay then. Get going.
Are you not going to sleep?
I'm going to sleep now.
Have you lost your appetite?
Why are you not eating much?
No, I'm okay.
I've been thinking a lot,
and I think it'd be a good idea for Ma Ru, Ji Ah and I...
to cook a meal together for our family once a week.
We're all adults now,
so we should help out more with house chores, right?
What's going on here?
Ah Ran, I'm impressed that you thought of such a great idea.
I should look out the window.
The sun could've risen in the west today.
I guess I'm getting more mature now.
What do you think? Do you have time on the weekend?
If you want to do it, you witch...
No, you should do it alone, Ah Ran.
I have ballet practice on weekends. Sorry!
Is that right?
Ma Ru isn't saying anything, so I don't think he wants to do it.
I'll do it by myself.
None of you really have time for it.
Ah Ran, I know that work keeps you busy.
Ji Ah goes to school now.
Ma Ru should also start getting ready to go back to school.
Jung Ki. Don't spoil them too much.
Making one meal a week won't take too much time away from them.
You two, help Ah Ran and make breakfast on weekends, okay?
I think what Ah Ran is suggesting is a pretty good idea.
You can become closer while you cook together.
Yes, we will do that then.
Is there something you want to talk about?
Well...
Say it.
Well, what do you want to do about Pa Ran's room upstairs?
I haven't really thought about it yet.
Is it because Ji Ah and Ah Ran are sharing a room now?
That's not really the reason.
I just think that we should...
remove all traces of Pa Ran for Ah Ran now.
Yes, we should clean that room up.
- Then today, I can... - No.
I'll take care of it.
Mum, let's go to work together today.
You used to worry about what people might think if they see us together.
It's not like our employees don't know that you're my mother.
Trying to be too formal might give them a wrong idea of me.
Yes. Being natural makes people feel comfortable around you.
By the way, I'm worried because of Mr Kim.
I brought him to our bar,
but he's insisting that he wouldn't sign any contract.
He's like that.
You don't have to be caught up on signing the contract. Take it slow.
Also, see if you can arrange a dinner to invite Tae Ho.
Okay.
We need to reschedule your engagement.
- Yes? - It's National Centre for...
Missing Children. Are you Choi Pa Ran's guardian?
Yes, I'm the guardian.
I called to ask if you are attending the yearly gathering...
of the parents from the centre.
Choi Pa Ran...
We already registered her as missing.
Why are you still calling me?
Cross off my name from your list...
and don't ever call me back.
What's wrong with them?
Why are they making me worry about something that's done with?
Did you know that I ran away from home?
Hey! I'm talking to you.
Listen...
I'm going to get a job.
I'm going to go back to the boutique I worked at before.
Do as you like.
Is that all you have to say?
If it's what you want, you should do it.
Aren't you curious why I want to start working again?
Honey, why don't you...
just stay home and take care of the kids?
Do you even know what Soo Ho is up to these days?
It's no use putting time into children.
I even stalked Soo Ho.
Then at one moment, I asked myself, "What am I doing?"
All I do is chase after the kids.
And I'm tired of begging you to talk to me.
I'm going to look for my own life.
And also achieve self-realisation.
All right, do as you wish.
Finding self-realisation or facing reality, it's up to you.
You'll learn more when you're out in the real world.
Wait... Hey!
That jerk. He's totally ignoring me.
You don't think I'll do it? I will!
My gosh.
The kids are all grown up...
and now that my husband has a stable job,
I missed my old job.
You'r right, you were a star employee.
So many of our customers came just to see you, Ms Yoon.
I mean Mrs Yoon.
That's true.
So, I was thinking of working again.
Work where?
The regulars I used to service still come to this boutique.
I still have the touch.
It's too good to go to waste.
Mrs Yoon, this world has changed.
We already have too many young applicants who studied abroad.
But you? A married woman?
You should know your place.
But...
Just go home and serve your husband.
And worry about marrying off your two boys.
I'm a little busy so...
Enjoy your tea.
Wait, hold on! I...
Good morning, everyone.
Yes...
You know a master of traditional wine is at our store, right?
Yes, we spoke to the assistant manager.
I'm glad our marketing team members still get along.
Bringing the master over worked out well...
and the internet website we've been working on lately is seeing...
positive results. It'll be a matter of time before Tae Ho comes back.
It would be nice if Mr Yang could also return then.
I'm sure he would be very happy if that happens.
Then could the two of you prepare proposals for our store's promotion?
You seem busy.
Don't touch it.
Have some breakfast first.
Leave it over there.
Okay.
What's there to be so busy about?
You'll be coming back to the head office soon.
- Just only do what you really... - Did I ask for your opinion?
I told you, I'll take care of my own business.
What is going on with you?
Are you mad at me?
It's not like that.
I know you have a lot of paperwork, but why did you push this aside?
I'm sorry, I'll clean it up.
Leave it, I'll do it.
Do you really have to wear this uniform?
You're not just an employee.
Ah Ran, I'm the manager of this restaurant.
I can't expect my employees to follow a rule I don't keep.
I just want you to be special...
Sorry for butting in.
You should get back to work.
I guess I was too harsh on him. He must be mad at me.
Don't bother Mr Kim too much and serve him well.
I worked hard to bring him here.
You better not ruin it.
I'll do my best.
What's that?
The manager checks...
our newly made traditional wine on a daily basis.
Go ahead.
What do you like so much about me?
If I could pick one thing out, I couldn't call that love.
Let me say one thing.
What you're doing right now, is like you stabbing your own eye.
I told you, right? I was married before.
Why does that matter?
I even have a kid.
My ex-husband is raising my daughter.
I know.
If she takes after you, she must be beautiful...
I'm confident I could love...
your past, present and future.
I'm telling you that I'm determined to give my all for love.
Right.
One, ten, hundred, thousand...
It's 2,300 dollars.
What is this?
I know it's not much,
but I'll work my best to fill up this account...
for you.
What's wrong with you?
Jung Mi, just trust me.
I'm being sincere.
One, ten, hundred, thousand...
No, this isn't happening.
But wait, money isn't everything.
Just look at my ex-husband.
He had an apartment and his parents gave us some money when we married.
Still we ended up separating.
No...
Even still, all he has is 2,300 dollars?
Gosh.
I didn't see it. I didn't see it.
Soo Ho, after the garlics are done,
get some napkins from the storage and fill up.
Okay.
- What's wrong with you? - What?
You told me you would bring me a sister-in-law...
then you steal our side dishes...
You take out your suit and dress up,
and now you're working like a real employee.
I need to start working hard to make a living.
I have mouths to feed.
Mouths to feed?
I'm sure no woman in her right mind would like someone like you.
Did you find an old widow or something?
Please, Mi Dal.
I have great taste.
Sure you do.
As long as it isn't that woman who ran away without paying,
I'd be happy if anyone would take you off of my back.
Mi Dal, don't worry.
There's only a bright future for Lee Bae Dal.
They say a man should meet the right woman to improve.
I think I met the right woman.
Bring her here right now.
I need to see who she is.
We barely just started. She might run away if she sees you.
If it's a woman who will run away that easily, then she's not the one.
Mum, you asked for sugar, right?
Who is this... boy?
Any men in this bar are useless.
Don't waste your time and go home to study.
Isn't that defamation?
Take back what you just said.
You're so full of yourself.
Why do you work part-time here then?
You should quit working here,
or I should just close up this bar.
Goodness. I don't understand young people these days.
Both of your parents died in an unfortunate accident like that.
How can the two of you be friends?
What are you doing? What are you doing here?
I'm just...
Goodness, seriously.
Don't think that you can do nothing and get paid for your hours.
Please work harder.
- Things are coming along, right? - Yes.
Bom, please move this box of malt over there.
Okay.
It's okay. I can do it.
- Let me help. It's heavy. - I said I will do it myself!
I told you that I can do it. Why are you so stubborn?
Goodness. Bom, why are you being so mean?
Ma Ru is just showing his affection towards you.
Mr Yang. I hope you can refrain from talking in that way.
This is my work.
Well, I was just trying to...
create a friendly, fun work environment for everyone...
What? Where are you...
A fun work environment. What?
They were acting like best friends.
Did they become a couple and have a fight?
Ma Ru. I told you, didn't I?
I told you not to help me with all my work in the kitchen.
I'm sorry.
When you act like that, it only puts me in a difficult situation.
You make me look like a weak person struggling with the box.
I didn't want you to hurt yourself.
Will you help the kitchen staff with all of their work?
We're at work now,
and we have our own duties.
I don't like it when you're trying to help me with everything.
Was carrying the box for you that big of a mistake?
Let's stop talking about this. Just don't do it from now on.
It makes me feel very uncomfortable.
I'm sorry if I've made you feel uncomfortable.
I also don't want to hear you saying sorry all the time.
Why are you sorry about everything?
Bom. Don't you think you're being too harsh right now?
If you want to say something, just get straight to the point.
I really had no idea about your dad and my mum.
I don't even know what I can say to you now.
I don't know either.
The fact that I met you and I let you stay at my place.
I regret everything, and I'm angry at myself.
Looking for jobs with you...
and becoming friends with you thinking we're on the same boat...
It all makes me angry.
Then what should we do from now on?
- What should we do? Tell me. - Tell you?
What can I tell you?
Should I resent your mum for causing my dad's death?
Or should I ask you to apologise for it?
I'll do it if you want me to.
It won't change a thing!
It's not your fault.
But...
But you're going through this because of me.
Yes. You're making my heart ache even more.
So...
I'll do anything you want me to do.
What do I want?
Go away.
Ma Ru.
Let's have a talk.
Starting today, the management team will close the bar.
It'll be great if you can organise the kitchen.
Okay.
By the way, did something happen between you and Bom?
It's nothing that you should worry about.
Right. I apologise if I was being inappropriate.
You can leave now.
I've been mean to Tae Ho.
What can I do? To make him forgive me,
I'll have to surprise him with this immature event.
Yes, Ah Ran.
Tae Ho, the bar is closing soon, right?
- Why do you ask? - I've prepared something.
Can you come to our secret place?
Our secret place?
Don't pretend that you don't know.
Ah Ran. I'm too busy for this now.
Why are you acting so busy all the time?
I spent my entire afternoon preparing this for you.
Ah Ran. Why do things always have to be on your terms?
You know that the bar is busy and that I have a lot on my plate.
You can't even stop by briefly?
I'll call you later.
What is he trying to do?
I'll wait here until you come.
- Do whatever you want. - I don't think I can see you today.
I'm hanging up.
Gosh, why is he being so mean to me all of a sudden?
We're done now, right?
You can do that tomorrow. Let's get going now.
I'm almost done.
Then we'll get going now.
Let's go. Let's go now.
Why does it have to be you, Ma Ru?
Why does it have to be your mother?
Right, I should focus on work.
What's wrong with this wine?
It's getting weirder as time passes.
Is there something wrong with my taste buds?
Or is it just because I'm in a foul mood?
Bom, why are you still here?
I'll get going now.
Aren't you pushing yourself too hard?
Taking time to relax is as important as working hard.
Okay.
I think the first batch of wine...
I've been put in charge of has disappointed Mr Kim.
I also think that it's getting too sweet and sour as it ages.
I can't figure out why though.
Is that right?
Do you mind checking it for me, Mr An?
Well, I don't know if I'll be able to taste the difference though.
How about comparing it to other batches...
to see what's wrong with it?
Shall we try it?
Your friend's father...
got into the accident because Ms Kim told him to come here urgently.
I didn't really want to say this to you,
but your mother pushed all of us too hard.
There were lots of problems at this construction site.
What is all this?
What is all this mess?
What can I do in this situation...
In my opinion, I think...
you should visit Mr Oh Young Ho's family and apologise to them.
Spitting it out after tasting it didn't seem enough,
so I actually drank it,
and I'm getting tipsy now.
Well, I think you've done enough for today. Let's try again tomorrow.
You worry me because you work too hard.
I'm sorry.
I'm supposed to work, but I ended up getting drunk.
I can usually drink a lot.
I can't believe that amount has made me tipsy.
They say that you have to drink when you're in a good mood,
and I think it's very true.
Why... Did something happen?
I know you worked hard to bring Mr Kim here.
Are you upset that Poongildang didn't acknowledge your work?
It's not that...
The others might not know, but I do.
I know how hard you searched for him...
and how hard you tried to bring him here.
It wasn't me.
He came because you were able to persuade him,
and he changed his mind.
Thanks for always thinking so highly of me.
But why are you so down?
Well...
I have this friend.
But I don't think I should be good friends with him any more.
Why not? Did you two argue?
No, if it was an argument, at least we could make up.
I really don't know.
I don't know why this happened.
I'm not sure what it is, but don't be so upset.
I'm sorry.
I keep blabbering in front of you.
It makes me happy that you can talk to me about such things.
I better get going.
Slowly.
Tae Ho?
Where did he go?
I thought he was busy. Did he go home already?
Thank you for driving me home.
Bom.
Don't worry, I'm fine.
Are you sure you can go alone?
Yes.
No, I'll have to walk you home.
Stairs.
Why did I get so drunk?
My mum will nag at me if I go in like this.
Do I smell of alcohol?
I'm not sure.
Let's sober up.
Then let's sit out here for a while.
Here.
Just around that corner is my mum's bar.
Of course it's nothing compared to Poongildang.
I wish I could visit there one day.
You're always so kind...
and warm.
You always make others feel comfortable and happy.
Bom, are you all right?
Bom?
Bom...
Don't be so sad because of your friend.
I'll stay by your side.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
