Who are you to prepare the food for Se Kang's grandfather?
Do you think you're my daughter-in-law?
Mother, why are you being like this all of a sudden?
I am your daughter-in-law.
Mother. Mother.
I told you to leave, didn't I?
Get out of my house right now!
Mother.
What are you doing?
My mom told you to leave.
I'll leave, but let me clean up first.
While you're at it, you should clean this up too.
We can't use this for the memorial service anyway.
Sister-in-law.
I told you not to call me that.
I'm even starting to hate my brother because of you.
My gosh, how horrible.
How could he date a girl who works as a butcher in the market?
(Episode 2)
Mother, here's a glass of cold water.
Why are you giving me this?
You're the one who should drink this and come to your senses.
Mother, why are you being like this? Did I do something wrong?
If I did, please tell me.
Stop calling me "Mother".
You have no reason to call me that.
Mother, why are you doing this?
For the past five years,
I cooked the food for Se Kang's grandparents and father.
You said so yourself.
Although we didn't get married yet,
you said you think of me as your daughter-in-law.
You even made me bow during Father's memorial service.
I also cooked a birthday meal for you every year.
I helped you with making kimchi and moving.
Every time anything happened at your house,
I put my work behind me and came running to you.
But now, you're saying that I'm not your daughter-in-law. Why is that?
Why are you treating me like this all of a sudden?
Must I tell you that myself?
Why are you so foolish and slow-witted?
Must you drink the ocean to know that it's salty?
Yes. I really don't understand what's going on right now.
Please just tell me so I can understand.
For a man to rise to the top from a humble family,
he needs a woman who can help him do that.
Se Kang needs a girl who can help him walk the road of success.
But you're just a butcher who works at the butcher's.
What can you do for Se Kang?
Rather than helping him succeed,
you'll only hold him back.
Although I can't help him walk a road of silk,
I should at least help him avoid walking a rough road of thorns.
I know I shouldn't do this to you.
I know I'll be punished for this too.
But I'll handle everything.
I'll handle all the punishment after I die.
So please just let go of Se Kang.
Dal Nim, please.
Mother.
I know how upset you must feel.
I'll pay you for taking care of him while he prepared for his exam.
I'll pay you enough money. So please just...
What do you mean you'll pay me?
The memories I've made with Se Kang.
My sincere love for Se Kang.
How can that be calculated into money?
That's impossible.
Not only is it impossible, but it's also not right.
I understand that you want a daughter-in-law from a rich family.
Every parent would want that for their son.
I'll do better from now on. I'll work harder.
So please change your mind, Mother.
Mother, please.
I will never let you get married to Se Kang.
Even if I die, I still won't allow you to get married to him.
Mother.
I'm done talking. You should leave now.
I'll be off then.
My gosh, she's so clingy. They should've broken up long ago.
Dal Nim. Dal Nim.
Mom, what are you doing here?
I was waiting for you.
It's too dark outside. You didn't have to.
I was worried that someone might kidnap you.
It feels nice to have you waiting for me.
Wasn't it Se Kang's grandfather's memorial service today?
Did everything go well?
Yes.
Did Se Kang's mother say anything to you?
- What do you mean? About what? - Your marriage.
He couldn't get married because he was studying.
After he passed his bar exam,
he couldn't get married because he didn't have a job.
But now, he has a job at a nice company. Why is there no news?
I'm not in a rush to get married.
We also don't even have a place to live in after we get married.
We can't just get married with nothing.
Then will you get married when you're old and weary?
Se Kang hasn't visited me in a long time.
Everything's fine, right?
Of course. Nothing's going on.
Mom, do you want me to quickly get married?
Of course. We almost paid off your dad's debt.
Our restaurant's doing pretty well too.
I want you to get married, have a beautiful child,
and live a happy life.
If I get married, you'll have to live by yourself.
Should I just live with you and not get married?
My gosh. Be careful what you say out loud.
Don't even say that as a joke.
Gosh, the breeze is cool. This is nice.
(Household Ledger)
You spent more than you did last month.
It's because we had to get the boiler fixed on the second floor.
But after we fixed the boiler,
the gas bill has decreased compared to last month.
And all the other expenses are pretty much the same.
You know about...
Sun Ho's great-grandfather's memorial service this month, right?
Our family from the States are also going to come.
So make sure you prepare enough food for the memorial service.
Yes, Mother.
I'm home, Grandma.
- Are you coming from Jae Hee's? - Yes.
Jae Hee's mother told me to say hi to you on behalf of her.
How was the welcome party?
Is Jae Hee doing well?
Yes. Jae Hee is going to come tomorrow to say hi to the family.
Really?
Mother, I should go grocery shopping tomorrow for Jae Hee.
You act like she's a stranger.
Just the usual menu will be fine.
She hasn't visited in a long time.
We can't just give her what we usually eat.
My gosh, my shoulders hurt again.
You must've done too much volunteer work today.
I'll get you a hot pack to relieve your muscles.
Grandma, I'll give you a massage.
Here you go.
That's right. My grandson's hands...
are as good as medicine.
Mom, why isn't Se Kang coming home?
The receiver cannot answer your call. Please leave...
I don't know. He won't even pick up my calls.
Come here and sit down.
- Look at this. - What is this?
What's this talisman for?
I recently asked a famous fortune-teller about your fate.
He said you and Director Choi are a great match.
He said you guys are a match made in paradise.
My gosh, Mom. Why would you waste money on something like this?
It's not a waste of money.
You turned down all the other companies and started working...
at Choigo Foods all because of Director Choi.
This talisman is apparently very effective.
Just listen to me and always have it with you. Okay?
You guys looked great together a while ago.
Don't overreact.
Sun Ho cares for Jae Hee much more than he cares for me.
That's because they grew up together like siblings.
If those two were going to work out, it would've already happened.
I haven't heard anything special, so I don't think they're dating.
Do you really think so?
You just wait and see. My gut feelings are always right.
That must be Se Kang.
Why did you drink so much?
- Gosh, get a hold of yourself. - Mom.
My goodness, you reek of alcohol.
I will never let you get married to Se Kang.
Even if I die, I still won't allow you to get married to him.
Dal Nim, the boiled down potatoes tasted amazing.
I'm so blessed to have met you.
I love you.
Never skip a meal.
You need to eat in order to study well. Okay?
Dal Nim.
Don't even bother thanking me.
You should continue to study. I'll go now.
Why? You're leaving already?
Stay with me a little bit more.
I'll only distract you if I'm here. I should go.
What are you doing?
Just wait a little bit more, Dal Nim.
I'll make you happy as soon as I pass the exam.
I'm so blessed to have met you, Dal Nim.
I love you.
Was the meat too salty?
Who are you?
Honey, what's going on? What's wrong?
Dad, what's wrong?
Look... Look in the kitchen.
- The kitchen? - The kitchen?
Give me my leg. Give me my leg.
Aunt Ruby.
Hey, Ruby. Do you want to die?
What's all this noise in the middle of the night?
- Mother, you're awake too. - Yes.
- Mom. - Gosh, don't come near me.
Why do you look so horrible like that?
- Go away. - I stayed up all night.
I only took short naps. I didn't get to sleep properly.
I came home without even taking my makeup off.
- My gosh. - Mom.
I almost got a heart attack because of her.
If I don't die a natural death, it's all going to be because of you.
- Give me my leg. Give me my leg. - My goodness.
Who is going to marry that nuisance?
Gosh, I would bow with gratitude...
to the man who decides to take her.
My goodness. Get lost!
You look so handsome, Se Kang. You're the best.
Didn't you already know that I'm good-looking?
Mom, didn't you have something to tell me yesterday?
What was it? Is it important?
You should've come home earlier.
One person comes home all drunk.
And one person cooks for a memorial service when I never asked her to.
Why? Did you fight with Dal Nim yesterday?
What are you going to do?
Are you really going to get married to her?
I understand what you're trying to say,
but how can I break up with her after all those years?
My goodness, you fool.
You'll change your mind once you take a look at this.
What is it?
- Are you still getting ready? - No, I'm all done.
Go to work first.
Let's talk more about this when you come home.
(Personal Information)
If your dad saw you guys right now, he would've been so proud.
Mom, why are you crying on such a nice day?
I'm just really happy.
I'm on cloud nine right now.
Mom, I'll earn a lot of money...
and buy you a mink coat. I'll also send you on a trip abroad.
You said you wanted to go to Hawaii, didn't you?
You can wear a mink coat and travel to Hawaii.
I can't wear a mink coat there.
I should wear a sexy swimsuit...
with a really big hat on my head.
Okay, just tell me anything you want. I'll get you everything.
Se Kang, we're running late. Let's go to work.
Okay, let's go.
Don't make a mistake on your first day.
- Have a great day at work. - I love you. See you, Mom.
- Bye, Mom! - Bye.
Look at how competent my son is.
There's no way she can get married to him.
Jae Hee.
Jae Wook!
Let's see.
You became even more prettier, Jae Hee.
What time did you come home yesterday?
I waited for you until dawn and fell asleep.
Really? I'm sorry.
Why are you up so early? You must be jet lagged.
I woke up early because I wanted to see your face.
I was upset because I didn't get to see you yesterday.
Give me your hand.
Now, what do you think is inside my hand right now?
You can look forward to it.
Ta-da.
- That was a lousy magic trick. - My gosh.
What was that?
Here's your present.
I'm not falling for your trick again.
I'm being serious this time.
What is this?
You always wanted a car. It's your homecoming present.
This is incredible. Thank you, Jae Wook!
Why are you guys being so loud?
Mom, Jae Wook got me a gift.
I have one more gift for you. Can you come to my restaurant at lunch?
I'd like to cook a nice meal for you.
Okay, I'll be there.
Good morning.
Congratulations, Ms. Hong. You're our team manager.
What do you mean I'm your team manager? What is all this?
You got promoted. You're a team manager now.
Mr. Choi asked you to come to his office as soon as you came to work.
Hurry up and go.
Please wait here.
Director Choi will be here as soon as the board meeting ends.
Okay.
What's this?
Does he always read comic books without doing any work?
He could open a comic book store.
What's this ring?
Is he planning to propose to someone?
He's a director now, is he?
(Management Director, Choi Sun Ho)
This guy became a director right away...
because he has rich parents.
Meanwhile, I studied so hard...
and barely became a lawyer.
Gosh, this is so comfy. This feels nice.
This chair is great.
I'm sorry, Director Choi.
Se Kang.
Se Na. Gosh, I thought you were the director.
- What are you doing here? - What about you? Why are you here?
Gosh.
Hello. You're already here. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
That's okay, sir.
Please sit down.
Team Manager Hong, you should sit down too.
She's a team manager?
You must not know since it's your first day of work.
Ms. Hong got promoted. She's now a team manager.
It's quite exceptional.
She became a team manager only after working here for two years.
This has never happened at this company before.
I still lack a lot of things. I don't know if I deserve this.
It was the chairwoman's decision.
The development team and legal team...
need to work and cooperate with each other like a cogwheel.
You both practically hold our company's future.
I look forward to our cooperation.
I'll do my best not to fall behind my sister.
Okay.
By the way, do you have plans at lunch time?
- No. - Can you come to Jae Wook's place?
Why? Is something going on?
You'll see once you get there. It's something important.
You have to come, okay?
"Something important"? What could that be?
Do you think he's going to propose?
No, it can't be. There's no way he'll propose to you.
Propose? What do you mean?
I saw a jewel case on Director Choi's desk earlier.
There was a diamond ring inside.
Se Kang, it's me.
What do you mean why? I called to see if you're doing well at work.
What? A team manager?
Se Na?
My goodness. How can she become a team manager already?
Of course, I'm happy.
We should have a party to congratulate her.
No, don't get pork. Get good quality Korean beef.
Okay. Come home early.
Is there some good news?
Se Na got promoted. She became a team leader.
Really? Congratulations.
It's not easy to become a team leader only after two years.
Every product that Se Na developed became so popular.
It was apparently the chairwoman's choice to promote her.
As you already know, Director Choi and Se Na...
are the two representative leaders of Choigo Foods.
When Director Choi leads the way,
Se Na thrusts forward.
Director Choi and Se Na are apparently a great match.
I went to a famous fortune-teller and asked about their fate...
Their fate?
They're not getting married. Why did you look into their compatibility?
Going to a fortune-teller to ask about fate is not just for marriage.
They have a lot of luck regarding business.
They're a great partner to do business together.
- Are you going to work? - I'm coming home late tonight.
After the investment briefing,
I'm going to have dinner with everyone.
Okay, go on. I'll see you.
Gosh, you're so pretty.
Who knows? Se Na might get married to Director Choi.
It was the chairwoman's decision to promote her.
That means she really likes Se Na.
You never know what will happen in life.
Yi Ran, you became rich even when you used to be an orphan.
That means Se Na can also become the madam of Choigo Foods.
I developed that.
Sun Ho.
While you were abroad, I worked so hard...
even though I missed you so much.
I wanted to show you what I did. I wanted to be acknowledged by you.
I did well, right?
Good job, Sun Ho.
This is when you were 10 years old.
You wore a yellow dress and a headband with a ribbon on top.
It was when you first came to my house.
I think that's when it all started.
You flew like a butterfly and entered my heart.
That's when I started to like you, Jae Hee.
I had this ring for more than five years.
I don't think I can wait anymore.
I want to be a man to you.
Please be my woman. I love you, Jae Hee.
You remember this, don't you?
It was a gift you gave me before I went to Paris.
You told me to apply it every time I thought of you.
Let's see.
Does this mean you never thought of me at all?
This is my answer to your proposal.
Jae Hee.
I saved this lipstick for this moment.
If I wore it every time I thought of you,
it'll probably be gone already.
Congratulations!
Jae Wook.
Gosh, you have such a bad timing.
Why are you outside already?
You're of no help at all.
I lent you my restaurant so you could propose.
I also sprinkled flower on you. What more do you want?
Sun Ho, if you ever make Jae Hee cry,
I'm going to grind you in a blender.
Okay, my brother-in-law. I'll always keep that in mind. Salute.
- We should drink to celebrate. - Yes, we should.
By the way, Se Na's not here yet.
Did you ask Se Na to come?
Yes. She became a team manager today.
I wanted to congratulate her, so I told her to come.
She became a team manager already?
Gosh, she's incredible.
I'll go in after I call Se Na. You should go in first.
- Jae Wook, let me help you. - It's okay.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm happy.
Okay. I'm fine as long as you're happy.
I want you to meet a nice woman too.
Gosh, I don't want to.
I can't imagine having to commit to just one woman.
Is it because of my mom?
Do you stop yourself from liking someone...
and not believe in love because of my mom?
It's because you think my mom stole your mother's place.
Am I wrong?
Se Na has to be somewhere, so she can't make it.
Oh, really?
Oh, well. Let's just enjoy this day by ourselves.
What? Marriage?
What are you talking about?
You just came to Korea. Why do you want to get married so quickly?
Why? Do you not like Sun Ho?
I'm just really surprised because it's so sudden.
You also know that...
I've always wanted you guys to get married to each other.
But remember what you said when I pushed you to go out with him?
"Sun Ho's just a really good friend."
"I don't want to get married." That's what you said to me.
Then you suddenly went to Paris.
Because of how you acted, I thought you didn't like him at all.
But why do you suddenly want to get married?
I just needed some time. I gave it a lot of thought.
I made a decision because it was time.
You're going to approve of our marriage, right?
I'm okay with it as long as you're happy.
And I also trust your decision.
You've never once disappointed me.
Thank you, Mom.
- Have you been well? - Yes. How about you?
- I've been well. - Jae Hee, you're here.
Hello. Have you been well?
Yes.
My mom told me to give you this.
It's matsutake mushroom.
Gosh, she always gives us great stuff.
- Please thank her for us. - Okay.
Come here and sit down.
- Eun Jung, get us some tea. - Okay.
Did you finish your studies?
Yes. I learned a lot thanks to you.
What? This is...
Sun Ho gave it to me and told me to read it.
I heard this book is a must-read for people who work...
in the food business these days.
After reading it, I could understand why.
She's also a great fan of your blog.
She reads every single food column you write on your blog.
I still lack a lot of things.
But thank you for your compliments.
Oh, I almost forgot. I got you a present.
Gosh, you didn't need to.
Do you like it?
My goodness, it's so pretty.
My gosh.
Mother, how do I look?
It looks beautiful. I feel like I'm at a flower garden.
You should try this too.
- I'll put it on for her. - Okay.
Here.
- Do you like it? - How do I look?
You look beautiful. You look at least 10 years younger.
Mother, what are you talking about? 10 years is too little.
She looks like a 19-year-old newlywed bride.
My goodness, I made a mistake.
Mother, you could get married again.
Should I?
Should I get on a flower palanquin and get married again?
I'm getting compliments thanks to you, Jae Hee.
I'll wear this often.
Sun Ho's going to come home early today.
You should have dinner with us.
I'll help too.
No, it's okay. You're our guest. I can do it by myself.
I'm not a guest.
What are we having for dinner?
(Korean beef)
Dal Nim, what are you thinking about?
What?
Mom, I need to go to Se Kang's place.
Why all of a sudden? Is something going on?
It was Se Kang's first day of work today.
I almost forgot that we planned to have dinner together.
Then give him some beef bone soup while you're at it.
I was going to give it to Se Kang when he visits.
When did you make this?
I got some good quality beef,
so I made some yesterday when you were at Se Kang's house.
Tell him to eat well so that he won't get weak.
And I know he's busy, but tell him to visit me once in a while.
I can't remember the last time I saw his face.
- Okay. - Okay.
Here.
- I'll be back. - Okay.
(Matchmaking Agency, Personal Information)
(Blind date at Crystal Hotel Cafe, Saturday at 2pm)
A blind date?
I was so surprised when I first saw you.
You looked so different from your photo.
I thought you were someone different.
- I felt like I was conned. - Pardon?
You look nothing like your photo.
I was so surprised...
because you look way prettier in real life.
I thought you were someone else.
Gosh, that was such a sly joke.
You have a beautiful smile too.
Dal... Dal Nim.
Who are you?
Hey, no!
Does it feel nice to...
go on a blind date wearing that suit I bought you?
Let's go. My mom made braised short ribs, your favorite.
She's waiting for you.
Min Jung, don't get mistaken.
He's my man. Don't you dare mistreat him.
I'm going to be the one to kill him or keep him alive.
(Sweet Enemy)
Let's get married. Why? Don't you want to?
I never said I won't.
I'm not going to lose him. Never.
Do you like someone? Who is it?
What do you think you're doing?
Hey, you're that canned tuna guy.
I'd like to get married to Jae Hee.
I'll do my best.
Why aren't you saying anything?
She should know what kind of family we are.
What happened?
Well, the thing is...
- Just jump off from here. - Dal Nim, save me!
My biggest mistake was saving you that day!
- Let's do it! Let's get married! - What?
