(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 66)
The person you see in this photo...
is my mother.
My mother has been...
running a small bar...
in my neighbourhood for the last 20 years.
Bom...
Her bar is also well known for her rice with soup dish.
As you can see in the photo, labourers or...
elders...
love coming to our bar for rice with soup over a glass of drink.
I'm in that photo.
For 20 years, as the daughter of Bar Chowon's owner,
I've been helping my mum at her bar.
Before I joined Poongildang, I almost ran...
the bar with my mum.
Let's stop...
Ms Bae.
Back then, I wished the customers...
could enjoy Poongildang's authentic traditional wines...
at my mum's bar too.
The majority of the customers are working class people...
who like to have a glass of drink at the end of their long days.
Drinking traditional wines is not for getting drunk.
It's to enjoy and savour the authentic flavours.
Wouldn't it be Poongildang's job to make our traditional wines...
available at small bars like this?
She grew up under stepparents because of Ms Bae's fault.
It looks like she's had it tough.
Will she be able to live comfortably now that she's at Poongildang?
I guess so.
Gosh, that was embarrassing. I'm so embarrassed.
What happened?
Why did those photos show up all of a sudden?
But Bom did such a good job improvising and working with them.
I actually preferred them over...
the original slides because her story was so touching.
Stop it already.
But I must say that I was uncomfortable...
to hear you call another woman your mother in front of Ms Bae.
Right. When I saw your mum in the lobby the other day,
she seemed so uneducated and crude.
Mi Jin. Please don't talk about my mother in that way.
You're making her sound like a horrible person,
but she's not like that at all.
She's a hard-working person who has been through a lot,
so she can come across as tough and curt,
but she deserves to be respected.
Tell me. What happened with your presentation?
We heard that wasn't what you had prepared originally.
Right. Those random photos showed up all of a sudden.
How did that happen?
You should've just apologised and stopped the presentation...
immediately or moved on to the next part right away.
Then people would've ended up laughing at my mum's photo.
She has worked hard her whole life to raise and support me.
I couldn't bear the thought of people laughing at her.
As you know, I told everyone at the briefing...
that you're my missing daughter whom I finally found.
Did you think about how I'd be feeling?
I'm sorry.
How was it? Did you enjoy it?
Of course. Mi Dal's rice with soup can't even compare.
Yes. Exactly.
How could her food taste any good...
when she kicked you out of her house?
I'm sure it's spicy like her fiery temper.
In the park
- It was delicious indeed. - Oh?
- Goodness. - Look who's here.
Gosh, speak of the devil.
I didn't expect to...
bump into you here, Mi Dal.
What brings you to this neighbourhood? Why are you here?
You should stay at your family home.
We heard about this famous rice soup place here.
So we came to check it out with my mum.
Look, Mi Dal.
I'm aware of your nasty temper,
but how could you kick out...
your sister-in-law who is pregnant in this cold winter?
Think about why I had to do it.
Your daughter looks down on me...
and talks back at me all the time.
She never listens to anything I say.
I only reacted that way because I'm sick of your obsession with money.
Judging from how you sold your daughter off for 500,000 dollars,
you must be really greedy and obsessed about money.
What are you talking about? I didn't sell my daughter.
I got nothing for letting them take my daughter from me.
Mi Dal. Don't be so obsessed.
Money is great, but you should have some conscience.
Bom is your daughter whom you raised for 20 years.
How can you even think about replacing her with money?
Goodness. How can you...
And we couldn't contribute much because of our financial situation.
How can you kick out my pregnant wife...
and her little daughter because of that reason?
Listen. I've been taking care of you and supporting you all these years.
You can't treat me this way. Don't you agree?
Whatever.
I can't believe he's treating me this way after everything I've done.
You were out doing grocery shopping. Did something happen?
It's nothing. Mind your own business.
What brings you here?
What brings you to a shabby little bar like this?
I'm sorry for showing up unexpectedly like this.
It's 500,000 dollars.
It's the amount you mentioned. What do you want me to do with this?
It's the money I promised to give you for raising Bom.
That amount should be enough...
for you to get a cleaner and better place...
for your bar.
You should move your bar.
Goodness. What's wrong with this bar? Tell me.
I know I have nothing to do with this, but you're really too much.
Is it your way or the highway?
Look. Did I ask you to give me money?
I clearly told you that I don't need money like this.
You should think about Bom.
Do you know what kind of humiliation she's going through at work?
Why? Are people laughing at her because I'm her mother?
Is she saying she can't come to work because she's embarrassed of me?
Please accept it.
And please let Bom go now.
Goodness. How dare you!
I don't want this! Take this, okay?
I don't need your money. Take this, please!
I don't need money like this. Take this now!
I don't need this. Take it! Take it now! Take it!
Ga Eul.
Ga Eul. Gosh, where did this girl go?
Bom. You little rascal.
Don't you even wonder how I'm doing?
Why do you never visit me?
You said you didn't want to see me any more.
You shouldn't have said anything you would regret.
Wait. Are you unwell?
What's wrong with your voice?
I'll drop by later. Bye.
Bom, stop working at the development support team for a while.
- Join the marketing team. - Pardon?
Your presentation didn't go well,
and I don't think the paper works in the office...
will help you learn about the business.
Go join the marketing team, and find out about...
the Korean food restaurant franchise we failed to get a contract with.
Try to get a contract to supply Poongildang's wines.
I'll do my best.
To get a contract with that restaurant,
the marketing team worked for two years and ended up giving up.
It won't be easy.
Coming to your office is the only way to see you now.
Okay. I'll visit our family more often.
By the way, Mum sounded unwell.
How many times did she trick us by pretending to be sick?
She sounded okay when she was nagging at me just before.
- She did? - Yes.
Bom, in fact, I need...
You need money for private institution?
I'm sorry.
I meant to pay for it myself by working part-time.
Take good care of Mum.
You're the only one that's around her now.
I'm no longer living with her.
Uncle has to take care of Aunt and Chi Saem.
Don't worry.
I've decided to work hard without looking back.
I'm going to prove my abilities and get admiration and respect.
So I can support your dream of...
becoming a famous hair stylist,
and help Mum expand her business.
Bom...
Right. I have to eat to survive.
Why am I having chills?
I'm so cold.
Bom, is that you?
She said she would drop by.
What is taking her so long?
- This is yeonmiju, and... - Gosh...
Please don't be that way. You know our products are good.
Our fruit wines, rice wines and herbal wines...
go well with Korean food. Customers will like it.
If you sell them here, the sales will go up.
Stop it already.
Stop bothering me and just go.
Until you change your mind, I'll wait here and help you...
- prepare to open. - What?
What... Gosh.
I said...
(Mum)
Oh, my legs.
I've made you worry so much...
that your entire body is aching, right?
- My shoulder is killing me. - Oh, no.
Grandma, they say that your children cause you the most trouble.
How adorable. Look how smart she is.
Mum, try this.
This mandarin is so sweet.
- Open your mouth. - Okay.
Well, okay.
Since you're here,
stay here as long as you want.
When the times are tough, you should live with your parent.
You're right. You're absolutely right.
You saw what Mi Dal did, right?
She was proud of herself to kick us out instead of feeling sorry.
Actually, she's a very warm-hearted person.
What kind of warm-hearted person...
gives a hard time to someone else's precious daughter...
and kicks her out on the street like that?
You know I decided to...
marry Jung Mi because of you, right?
I'll continue to love you.
I'll dye your hair when the grey hair grows.
I'll give you a massage to help you relieve stress.
I'll be a good son-in-law.
- Feed her. - Mum, here you go.
The number you have reached is temporarily disconnected.
Ma Ru just left without even saying goodbye.
I feel bad.
Even though he says he hates him,
he wouldn't be able to ignore his father he found in 20 years.
Jung Ki.
What are you doing?
Can't you tell? I'm preparing dinner.
Even I have never...
put on an apron although I was living off of my sister.
How do you live like this?
You're the head of this family. Aren't you ashamed?
Why would I be ashamed?
If I can make my family happy, it doesn't matter.
That's not true.
If you work in the kitchen being depressed like a maid,
your family wouldn't be happy.
How could you say such a thing to me?
What I mean is...
you should stop disgracing men, and raise your voice when you need to.
Just act like a man. Be bold. Be a tough guy.
Are you judging the way I live my life?
I really didn't want to say this to you.
But you should behave here since you have nowhere else to go.
Stop telling me about how wrong wearing an apron is.
I didn't mean to make you angry.
If you're so worried about my dignity,
why don't you make dinner tonight?
You must have learned to cook...
by watching your sister cook. I'm sure you're good at cooking.
But... Wait, Jung Ki.
I only came yesterday. Are you already giving me a hard time?
How can you expect me to do this?
What happened?
I made it here before the bubbles go down just as you said.
Don't you have anything else to do?
You came here just because I called you.
I do have better things to do.
I had to beg my band members in the middle of the rehearsal.
Don't be so proud.
By the way, what was it like when you ran away from home?
Nothing good.
Are you planning to run away?
I'm telling you this from my experience.
Never run away from home.
Whatever your problems are, solve them in your home.
How about I just get married?
Would there be any rich and handsome guy for me?
Would there be?
Oh, gosh.
We're here. Wake up.
Where am I?
- Oh, no. - Where am I?
Oh, you. Hey.
Will you marry me?
I really want to leave this house.
Are you rich?
Are you rich enough to take care of me?
Don't propose to a man for fun.
Why not? Come here.
Come here. Come here.
- Ji Ah. - Hello.
- Gosh. - Ji Ah.
She must have drunken so much.
She's embarrassing us all.
She's old enough to know better than this.
Why did you drink so much?
- Let's go inside. - No.
Why should I go to this house when Ma Ru has left?
You have your two adorable daughters.
Be happy with them.
I'll just go my way.
Hey, who are you?
What did you do to her?
Were you trying to do something bad to her after she gets drunk?
- Mr Lee. - Aren't you Soo Ho?
Why are you here?
He didn't force me to drink.
I drank by myself.
I drank because it's hard to live with this...
messed up family.
- Be careful. - I'm coming.
- Watch me carefully. - Ji Ah.
- Ji Ah, how could you... - What?
Are you going to kick me out because I'm not your daughter?
Ji Ah, why would you behave like this to her?
Ji Ah, you shouldn't do this in front of your elders.
I'm not afraid of getting kicked out.
Now that Ma Ru is gone, I must be the next.
Take her to her room.
No. I won't go into my room.
I'm here to say goodbye to you, Gook Hee.
I just want to say that I'll live on my own...
just the way I want, and so you don't have to...
care about me any more.
That's enough!
I'll make sure she won't do that any more.
Go ahead.
- Go to bed. Let's talk tomorrow. - No.
Dad, I'm so disappointed in you.
How can you not even try to find Ma Ru?
Even though you're his stepfather,
he always listened to you.
He loved you so much. How can you do this?
I don't understand.
Why wouldn't I be worried about Ma Ru?
Come here.
How dare you come home drunk and make such a scene like this?
- I'll cut off all your hair... - It hurts.
so you can come to your senses.
Eul Nyun, please don't do that.
Mum, don't do that. It might make things worse.
Chop it. Try chopping it off.
I won't forgive you if you actually chop my hair off.
- This brat. - My precious hair.
- Ji Ah. - Oh?
Goodness. Just the person I wanted to talk to.
Hey. You're the worst one in this family.
You obviously know that Ma Ru has disappeared,
but you're still going to work and doing other things.
Ji Ah. Let go of this. Why are you doing this to me?
- Goodness! - Gosh...
You're a daughter of that shabby little bar's owner.
Being treated like a princess here...
has made you become full of yourself.
My brother. Whenever anything happened to you,
he stopped everything he was doing and helped you.
But what are you doing? Are you happy that he's not here any more?
Are you happy? Are you thrilled?
Ji Ah, that's total nonsense.
Of course I'm not happy about it. I'm worried about him.
Don't you dare touch me.
I'm going to teach everyone a lesson today.
Gosh, these people...
My son. Tae Ho?
Mr An?
Hello, Ms Yoon.
Mr An. Your mother is here.
Hello, everyone.
Can we have a quick chat?
Mum. Please don't visit me at work like this.
Goodness. Look at you.
You talk just like your dad.
I'm your mum, and I just came to have a quick chat with you.
What's wrong with me visiting you at your work?
If you don't like it, just move back home.
- I'm not really... - Forget it.
Tell me what's going on these days.
What's going on with what?
Stop being confused and decide between Ah Ran and Bom.
Will it be Ah Ran, the eldest daughter of Poongildang's president?
Or will it be Bom who will likely be gaining more power in the company?
Mum, that's not what this is all about.
- Stop it, seriously. - Goodness.
Gosh, look who's here. Ms Bae!
What brings you here, Honey?
Ms Kim is doing well, right?
Gosh, I told her to stay at my place for a few more days,
but she insisted on leaving, so I had to let her go.
But after living with your mother-in-law for a few days...
Goodness. I couldn't stop thinking about...
how difficult living with her must've been for you.
Please don't say that. She is a great person.
Yes! She's a great person, of course.
While we're on this topic...
It looks like Ms Kim...
still really likes Tae Ho.
She wants him to become her grandson-in-law.
Honey, seriously.
Can you please stop it?
I thought we were done talking about this.
I beg your pardon? What do you mean we're done talking about it?
Our kids are still very much in love.
Tae Ho, Ah Ran and Bom...
were in a love triangle.
Those youngsters were lovesick for a little while.
We can't ruin what's meant to be.
Ms Yoon. I don't want to have this unpleasant conversation with you.
I'll pretend that I never heard anything you just said.
Honey, seriously.
I'll talk to you later at home.
Listen. I didn't mean to...
This is why I came to talk to you.
No matter whom you choose,
you should make your decision and put an end to this mess.
Goodness.
I apologise, Ms Bae.
My wife was out of line. I apologise on her behalf.
I didn't even know what to say to her.
Hi, Ah Ran.
Have you eaten lunch yet?
If you haven't, you should join us for lunch.
Ah Ran.
Just let her be.
She hasn't said a word to me for the last few days,
and she's avoiding eye contact with me as well.
I honestly don't know why she's being so stubborn.
Please try to understand her.
I do feel bad for what Ah Ran is going through these days.
Gosh, I'm still so embarrassed.
- Hello. - Hello, Ms Choi.
Have you heard about what happened at the briefing session?
You should've done the presentation.
It wasn't Bom's fault though.
Plus, I was impressed with how Bom managed to deal with the situation.
Watch what you say. By the way...
what if she included those photos on purpose to show Ms Bae?
Gosh, no way.
All right. Anyway,
Bom went to the restaurant again to do chores for them.
That's not going to help anything.
That restaurant's owner is so stubborn and arrogant.
Goodness.
Oh?
Where is she going?
Don't do this. It'll become more difficult if you let it drag on.
You need to tell Ms Bae now and get your aphasia treated.
Ah Ran.
Ah Ran!
What's going on? What do you mean you can't talk?
- Gosh... - Ah Ran, what happened?
Gosh, what's... What are you talking about now?
When did this start? What happened to you?
Goodness, Ah Ran. Do you have aphasia...
Gosh, is that really what's going on?
This is crazy! Goodness. What should we do?
You jerk. This is all your fault.
Hadn't you broken my baby's heart,
none of this would've happened.
What will you do now?
How will you take responsibility for this mess?
I'm sorry.
Come. Let's go.
Let's go and see a doctor. You need to get it treated.
You'll be able to recover from it soon.
Jung Ki. Call Dr Kim right now...
and find out to which hospital we should take Ah Ran.
Okay. I'll call Dr Kim now.
Gosh. I can't believe this...
- Goodness... - Mum. Mum!
- Gosh... - What should we do now?
The missing granddaughter has been found,
but my eldest granddaughter can't talk now.
Gosh, what should we do?
You only have two daughters, and you can't take care of them.
Look at what's happening now.
You have been neglecting Ah Ran ever since you found Bom.
Oh no.
What should we do about this?
Goodness.
Gosh, I'm so hungry.
I treated you two yesterday, so Mi Jin should get the bill today.
- That sounds great. - I know, right?
- Is that... - Oh? Ma Ru.
You're supposed to be on vacation. What brings you here?
I thought you'd be on a trip to somewhere nice.
No. I just needed time to think things through.
You're here to meet Bom, right?
Bom is not at the office now.
She's probably going through an ordeal now.
I told you that you can't change my mind by doing these things.
I heard that yesterday's total was 2,000 dollars over the average.
Other servers told me that it's probably because of me.
Stop trying so hard because I won't change my mind.
Even if you work here everyday, I won't do business with Poongildang.
I have many complaints about Poongildang.
You should complain to me.
- I'll see what I can do. - What?
You have no power to change anything.
You're right.
I'm just an entry-level employee, so I don't have much power.
I still want to do something to put you in a better mood.
- Shall I wash the floor after work? - What...
- We'll clean the toilets too. - Ma Ru!
Forget it.
Just go home now.
I won't change my mind, so don't waste your time.
What brings you here?
I heard that you'd be working here.
What can I do to help?
Gosh, Mr Kim.
- Yes, hello. - What an honour.
- Please come in. - Sure.
Who is he?
Is he someone famous?
He's Kim Woong Ho.
He's a professional golfer who won two golf championships...
for three years in a row.
Right. He started a restaurant business in the States...
after he retired, which has become a huge success.
I see. Is that right?
I heard that you'd visiting,
so I prepared this top-quality Korean beef and this special wine.
I heard that your restaurant is famous for Korean food,
so I was expecting to see authentic dishes and traditional wine.
But I only see meat and...
imported wine on this table.
I'm visiting Korea after so long,
but I don't even get to taste any traditional wines.
Well, if you don't mind,
could I make some recommendations?
Gosh, stop it. Know your place.
It's okay. Can you?
What would you recommend to me?
He has the power to help us open new branches in the States.
If you pull this off, we'll make a permanent contract...
with Poongildang.
Or else, we'll never make any contract with Poongildang.
It's gujeolpan served with raspberry wine.
Is this the food you told me about?
It's important to serve compatible foods together.
Gujeolpan is a Korean traditional dish that has...
a bland taste... but also has various flavours.
Raspberry wine is sweet and refreshing,
and it helps increase your appetite.
They're a perfect match.
Is that so?
Let me try it.
How did you like it?
Maybe because I ate the food with the perfect wine to go with,
I feel really great.
Did you say that you work at Poongildang? Thank you.
I enjoyed your food and wine very much.
Thank you.
I'm glad you liked it.
I'll be looking forward to hearing good news from you.
All right.
Goodbye.
- Mr Kim! - What's wrong?
Mr Kim!
Why did you call me over here?
I have something to show you.
Do you remember this tree?
This is your tree.
When you were around 100 days old,
your mum and I came here and planted this tree.
So this tree is...
as old as you are.
Did you call me over to tell me that?
No.
I want to apologise to you.
Even apologising a thousand times won't be enough.
But I want to apologise to you again.
Forget it.
I won't stop.
Regardless of whether you will forgive me or not,
I won't stop apologising to you.
I was supposed to raise and protect you.
But instead, I made you live with resentment.
I can't just...
forget what I've done wrong.
How could you be so irresponsible?
My mother told me about you just once.
She said you had been a man with a free mind,
and so you left her because you couldn't stand her.
Why were you so irresponsible?
You left home to be free.
You abandoned your wife and son for your own happiness.
I don't have anything to say to you about it.
But there are things...
between married couples that they can't even tell...
their own children.
So you wanted to see me to make another excuse.
It's not just an excuse.
Do you think I was just happy alone because I left home?
There wasn't a single day...
I didn't think of you.
Ma Ru...
Ma Ru!
Ma Ru! Ma Ru!
Ma Ru!
Ma Ru! Wait!
Do you have anything else to say?
I just found this phone.
I'm calling you because it says it's his son's number.
I'm not his son.
Ma Ru...
Ma Ru. My son!
I'm right here. Ma Ru!
Dad is here.
Ma Ru!
Father.
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
