(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
(Episode 95)
Then, we'll conclude that it has been voted down...
Wait a moment.
I also agree that Ms Bae Gook Hee should be dismissed.
Then, we can conclude that Ms Bae Gook Hee has been...
dismissed from her position, right?
I'm sorry.
As the newly appointed president,
as one of the founding members of Poongildang and...
as someone who has been assisting Ms Bae for the last 30 years,
I'd like to say a few words to all of you.
As you all know,
Poongildang started as a small brewery Ms Bae owned.
Starting with making only a few litres of wine at that tiny brewery,
Ms Bae and I have worked hard to come this far.
Now, I hope that Ms Bae can get...
some well deserved rest...
and focus on studying and developing bokwonju...
as well as various traditional wines.
That is why I agreed to her dismissal.
Just a moment, please.
There's something I need to tell you.
Listen before you go.
Ms Choi used Ms Bae's name illegally...
to approve the joint investment with Inhae Brewery.
Stop it.
Let's go.
Bom.
I understand that you deeply care about your mother,
but you shouldn't blatantly lie like that.
Ms Bae, your daughter must be sad about you being dismissed...
from your position as the president.
All right, let's go.
Please, listen to me.
Here. Our 800 employees have signed this petition...
to show you that they're against the dismissal of Ms Bae.
You should stop.
I hope you realise that acting like this doesn't look good.
Sir.
Sir, please...
Bom, that's enough.
That won't resolve the situation.
The reason for her dismissal isn't even true. This is just wrong.
Mum.
I'm okay. Don't worry.
Why didn't you say anything?
You're the founder of Poongildang.
You developed all of our main products with your own hands.
You're being kicked out from your company.
Why didn't you tell them what Ah Ran did?
Ah Ran is not solely responsible for my dismissal.
I've made many mistakes, too.
I wasn't proactive enough when I took care of the bokwonju incident.
I let my family issues get in the centre of the media spotlight.
I've shown many flaws.
I will never forgive Ah Ran.
I cannot forgive her.
Let's talk.
Why? Are you too embarrassed to even look me in the eye?
Give up already. If it's about Mum, you can't change anything.
I'll tell everyone about how you stole Mum's seal to approve...
the agreement and how you caused all the damage to the company.
I'll make sure that Mum can get her company back.
I want to give you an advice as your older sister.
Not a single person here will believe you.
You can do whatever you want,
but acting imprudently like that could get you in deep trouble.
It could hurt you badly, so you better be careful.
If you want to kick me out too, try it all you want.
Bom.
I know that you're really upset right now, but calm down first.
Let's sit down and think about what Ms Bae should do now.
I will not forgive the two of you.
I'll do whatever it takes to make you pay for what you did.
(Storing and Handling Methods)
(Presidential Citation, Bae Gook Hee of Poongildang)
This feels like a dream.
My bokwonju earned me this presidential citation.
It feels like all of my hard work and efforts...
poured into developing bokwonju have been paid off.
Congratulations, Ms Bae.
I know how hard you've worked.
Why are you crying on this happy day?
I wouldn't have been able to get this award without you.
I want you to have this.
Please don't.
How could I accept this? Please don't.
(CEO Bae Gook Hee)
Thank you for your hard work.
I will see you again.
I'm sad that you're leaving. Goodbye.
I am sorry.
But this is our company car for business use only.
I will call you a taxi.
- Mr An. - It's okay.
I forgot.
Goodbye.
Ms Bae, I will carry...
Oh, no.
I can't believe we have our own factory.
Ms Bae, your hard work paid off.
I am so happy.
I knew you would come here.
I made only one mistake within the years I assisted you.
And that was it.
In order to pay for my mistake,
I devoted my whole life to assist you.
Just one mistake?
Abandoning my child...
and selling my research were just the beginning.
What did you do after that?
You were around me, hiding all your wrongdoings and deceiving me.
You let Ah Ran and Tae Ho marry even though you knew it was wrong.
Then, you used Ah Ran...
to drag me down from my position.
When you put it like that, it makes sense somehow.
You are right.
I've done so much wrong.
So I apologised to you.
I begged you to forgive me for my mistake.
You call that an apology?
You had no choice but to confess because you ran out of lies.
It's all in the past.
At least, you have had everything you could wish for.
And you found your child.
You've owned Poongildang.
It's different for me.
Now that my past has been revealed,
I might lose everything I have.
Is that why you took my company away from me?
I've come this far caring for every little thing in the company.
I sacrificed my life to grow my company.
And you took it.
Don't think that you're the only one...
whose life was all about Poongildang.
I dedicated my entire life to the company as well.
What would I have left if I leave the company?
Ah Ran...
Let's go.
We should look around inside the factory.
Ms Bae...
Mum.
I will help you get Poongildang back.
I told you about my own sister,
which feels like I showed you the most embarrassing part of me.
Ah Ran did something like that again?
My goodness.
She put artificial sweetener in the wine and framed me.
Now she dragged her own mother from her position?
Gosh.
Mr Kim, what should I do?
I want to do something to help Mum.
But I'll have to abandon Ah Ran to do so, which breaks my heart.
I can tell how much you cried inside of you.
I am sorry for Ms Bae.
It seems like those who want to make money by selling wines...
are trying to take Ms Bae down because she's too strict.
Is there anything you can do to help her?
I can't watch Mum's life and Poongildang...
collapsing anymore.
Ah Ran has betrayed her own mother, and the shareholders aren't loyal.
I won't sit back and watch either.
Let's go. I will...
bring my fellow winemakers and talk to them.
Thank you, Mr Kim.
We're here to tell you something as people who have...
affection for Poongildang.
Put Ms Bae Gook Hee...
back in the position as the CEO of Poongildang.
Or else, us winemakers...
won't do anything to help Poongildang in the future.
What a surprise.
Hello.
What brought you all here?
Mr An.
How dare you use Ms Bae's oldest daughter as your protection...
to steal Poongildang?
Mr Kim, please don't be so disrespectful.
You are out of line to meddle in the matter of company management.
Out of line?
How brazen you are. You took down...
Ms Bae whom you assisted for 30 years!
That's enough!
I don't need help from such rigid and prejudiced people like you.
You don't care about how the world changes and what people want.
All you think about is tradition!
One by one, you lost your positions. But when you're here,
we treated you as artisans and veterans.
No.
You're just obsessed with the past.
You're not useful to this company!
Mr Kim.
I was so confident when I talked with you.
I'm embarrassed to see you.
I've known An Gil Soo for many years,
but I didn't know he's that shameless and brutal.
Us winemakers don't have enough power to beat him.
Thank you for your help.
Even though no one would take our side right now,
some of them will probably come around over time.
I know. But I'm worried if Ms Bae and Poongildang...
could stay strong until the time comes.
We'll do everything to keep this company strong.
Mr Kim.
Ah Ran, how could you do this?
I kept your secret...
because Ms Bae begged me.
But you betrayed your own mother?
Don't talk to me like that.
I didn't betray my mum. I made a decision for Poongildang.
My goodness. Look how brazen she is.
When Gook Hee comes home,
let's ask her to sign the contract for the building tomorrow.
That'd be great.
Gook Hee might change her mind again if we drag it on.
Should we open a café or a restaurant?
Gosh, I should bring Chi Saem back first.
These buildings are very expensive.
Plus, I'm not comfortable with asking Gook Hee for help like this.
You're home.
Gosh.
Bom, you're home, too.
Gosh, the president of Poongildang is home.
Gook Hee, do you have time tomorrow?
Do you remember the building I told you about for Jung Ki's studio?
I told you we should buy it.
The owner of the building wants us to sign the contract...
before he goes back to the States in two days.
How about you buy it under Jung Ki's name?
Wait, Gook Hee.
Did something happen at work today?
Mum has been dismissed from her position.
- What? - Come again?
- Gosh, what do you mean? - She's been dismissed?
- What does that even mean? - She was fired?
Gook Hee, what happened at work?
Gook Hee, how can you be fired from your own company?
Then what about our store and our café?
Please leave me alone.
Tell us exactly what happened.
We need to know what happened to you.
Mum must be exhausted now.
I'll tell you everything, so let's give her some space.
Goodness. How can she be...
kicked out of her own company that she's devoted her life to?
Can they really do this to her?
I don't really know.
But according to the rumours...
It's...
You're killing me here. Just tell us what happened.
Well... It's really...
People are saying that Ah Ran ganged up with her father-in-law...
to kick Gook Hee out.
What? What do you mean by that?
Gosh, Ah Ran kicked her mum out of the company?
I don't know exactly what happened.
It's too crazy that I don't even want to say it out loud.
She probably decided to stab her mum in the back...
now that she is a part of that family who's like our enemy.
That's not even the biggest problem.
Rumours say that...
all of Gook Hee's assets might end up being confiscated.
Gosh, what did you just say?
Her assets might be confiscated?
She needs to take the responsibility for the financial damages.
Don't worry.
Rich people don't get affected by things like this.
Poongildang is such a big company,
and Gook Hee is exceptionally thorough.
I'm sure she has put away stashes of cash for an emergency like this.
Don't even worry.
Mum's right.
Gosh, money is not what's important right now.
I can't believe it. How can Ah Ran do such a horrible thing to her mum?
How?
Congratulations, Honey! You're President An Gil Soo now.
You didn't have to do this.
Thanks. You have been so supportive.
Thanks Ah Ran. This wouldn't have been possible without you.
Please, don't mention it.
She didn't really do anything to be thanked for.
I hope you know that I'm the biggest contributor to your success.
I've been devoting my life to your success.
Yes. This day wouldn't have come without your help.
Honey. I only put one candle on this cake.
I'll get 2 candles next year and 30 candles 30 years later.
You worked so hard to come this far.
I hope you can keep that position for as long as you can,
until you turn 100, President An Gil Soo.
The candle will burn out. You should blow it now.
Okay.
Congratulations again, Honey!
Today is definitely one of the happiest days of my life!
(President An Gil Soo)
We're here to update you on the ongoing projects.
We revised the plan for the seasonal bokwonju project. Please review it.
Well...
How about we cancel this and come up with a different idea?
We can't cancel the entire plan just because of one mistake.
We already started working on it, so I want to turn it into a success.
I want to prove to Mum...
that she was wrong and that I made the right choice.
I'll help Ah Ran, too.
Please believe in her.
I'll think about it.
An Gil Soo!
After what you've done to my family,
how could you stab my wife in the back, let alone an apology?
- Dad. - Mr Choi, please stop.
Next time you visit me,
make sure to book a time first.
I have an appointment. Bye.
Ah Ran. How could you...
How could you do this?
I'll drive you home.
Ah Ran.
How could you do this to your mother?
The way you're acting now won't help either of our families.
Please stop it.
How dare you...
You.
What has gotten into you?
How did this happen...
All right. Tell me how much shares we've been able to obtain.
We have enough to make the executive board nervous.
Is that right?
Buy all the stocks as they become available.
Understood, Mr Kang.
Hello, I'm Kang Ma Ru's father.
We've met once in Ms Bae's office.
Oh, right. Yes.
I apologise for not recognising you.
I heard about your promotion. Sorry I haven't sent you a gift.
Congratulations,
President An Gil Soo.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
If your time allows, we should go for soju.
I think we could understand each other very well.
Sure, let's do that.
Welcome!
- A little bit more forward. Stop. - Here you go.
- Please open the fuel cap. - Here's a pack of tissues.
Thank you!
Sir, what did you just do? Please give me your phone.
What are you trying to accuse me of?
You took photos of my wife! Give me your phone now!
An Soo Ho, stop it! Do you want to get fired again?
Just put up with it. You can't throw a fit like this at work.
What this jerk did is sexual harassment!
Gosh, you ruined my day.
I'm sorry.
You two. You are fired!
We got fired again. Where are we going to go now?
No. Wait, Soo Ho.
Well, can't we just hide at your brother's place?
I've lived here before.
The room is so tiny, and it's not a place for us.
We were caught at his place. They can raid that place any time.
If we're caught again, my parents will chain me and lock me up.
But is this really the only place?
We're back to square one.
Let's stay here for the time being.
We won't have to pay for the room and food, so we'll raise money soon.
- I need to prepare myself mentally. - Let's go.
Gosh, I think our baby is shocked, too. Hold on.
Hello.
Hello, Ms Lee.
What brings the two of you here?
I'd like to work here again.
Ms Lee. If the storage room is still empty,
could you let us stay there for a little while?
Do you think you can just come and go as you please?
This place isn't a bus stop. You can't.
I don't need any help.
I'm not going to let your kids stay here.
I promise you that I'll work very hard!
I'm not the An Soo Ho you used to know.
Now, I'm this girl's husband and a father-to-be, so...
What? What did you just say? Is she pregnant?
Goodness gracious. She's not even married.
- Ji Ah. - Yes?
- What's going on here? - Gosh, Ma Ru!
You tell me.
What did you do to my sister?
You, jerk! How dare you!
Gosh, Ma Ru! Let go of him first.
I'll explain everything.
- Ouch... - Ji Ah.
- Ji Ah, are you okay? - What's going on?
Our baby must be startled. What should we do? My belly...
- Ji Ah, you... - Gosh, it hurts.
What are you talking about? Why do we need to empty this house?
Did something else happen?
I need to pay for the financial damages incurred.
Please prepare to move out.
Honey.
It's not fair that you stepped down.
How can they make you pay off the debt, too?
It wasn't even your fault.
Why do you have to pay it off?
I won't take a single step out of this house.
If they want me out of here, they will have to wait until I die.
Mum's right. It hasn't been long since we got kicked out of...
Jung Ki's second wife's house.
Stop it. Whining won't change anything.
If the company takes legal action,
Gook Hee might have to go to prison.
Oh, no. My goodness.
I'm going to live on the street at this age.
Gook Hee, didn't you hide any money?
You have a lot of jewellery and a summer house.
You must have saved millions of dollars.
I am sorry...
that I can't do anything to help you at times like this.
I have to go back to work shortly.
What's taking her so long?
There she comes.
What is wrong with you?
I'm here because you said it's an urgent matter.
Please make it brief.
Since you want me to make it brief, I'll get right to the point.
Please...
take her with you.
Sun Young.
Ms Yoon.
The two families aren't on good terms with each other.
We don't even feel comfortable to have a meal together.
How could I have a daughter-in-law from your family?
Please stop it.
I understand what you mean.
However, they got married...
only because they were in love with each other.
I'd like to support their love.
The atmosphere between our families is very harsh right now.
Love can't be a reason.
If you wanted to discuss their marriage,
I have nothing more to say to you.
Goodbye.
Be a good daughter-in-law,
and be happy with your husband.
Both you and your mum are unbelievably stubborn.
Gosh. Like mother, like daughter.
Mum...
I guess I'm being punished for what I've done.
But I can't end up like this.
You won't take me back even if I return.
What should I do?
(Poongildang)
Ah Ran, don't you feel guilty at all?
Stop it already. It's all over now.
Do you know why we are like this?
It's all because you insisted us to apologise.
When you forced us to apologise,
couldn't you have forgiven us beforehand?
Do you even deserve to be forgiven?
You and Mr An.
That's enough. Let's go.
I can't take this anymore.
Is there any problem with the export to the US?
What's the urgent matter?
The export to the US is going well without any problem.
I apologise.
I called for a meeting for a different reason.
You can't just summon the executives as you please.
How dare you!
I am sorry.
Please spare a little time. It's for the sake of the company.
Gosh.
Ah Ran, please be honest with me just this once.
Tell me why you made the contract without Mum's permission.
That again?
It's all over now. I'm sick of hearing it.
Were you afraid because Mum found out about...
Mr An's secret and your lies?
Were you afraid you might get kicked out of Poongildang?
Did you make a contract with Inhae Brewery to sabotage Mum?
Do you really think of me that way?
Do you think I would put the company in danger for personal reasons?
I was confident that I would make that project successful.
I was confident to show Mum what I can do.
That's why you stole Mum's name?
Without her authorisation, I couldn't begin the project.
So I stole Mum's seal and stamped it on the contract.
Are you satisfied?
- What does that mean? - Exactly.
What's going on?
Does that mean Ms Choi is responsible for the contract?
Did Ms Bae take the responsibility for what her daughter had done?
What are you doing?
What are you up to?
I'm just trying to reveal the truth.
- What was that? - I can't believe this.
Mum will never forgive me.
I can't go back.
I have no choice but to live as a horrible daughter like this.
That's not true. There must be a way to get Mum's forgiveness.
- Please tell the truth and... - Stop it already!
- This is embarrassing. - Exactly.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Please watch it to the end.
This is ridiculous.
Mum didn't do anything wrong.
It's all my fault.
Is this what you want me to say?
Well, too bad.
It was Mum's order to make that contract.
She asked me to make the contract without letting the executives know.
What's wrong with you?
You did that. You're the one who did that!
(Sweet Home, Sweet Honey)
