This is the CEO of Chungil Flour.
They're our supplier.
She's my landlady.
Hello, how are you?
I'm fine.
Can we have some food?
Just a moment. I'll bring it right out.
- Sit over here. - Okay.
I'm not saying this because it's run by my relative,
but the food really is good. You'll be surprised.
Okay.
Enjoy your meal.
Tell me if you need anything else.
We will, thank you.
Sure. Enjoy the food.
It really is good.
Isn't it? I told you it was.
I know someone who loves gukbab.
We should eat here.
Is it the woman you love?
Yes.
Then you must bring her to eat here one day.
I hope to.
Is she mourning someone? She's wearing the hairpin.
Yes. To tell you the truth, a short while ago,
her sister-in-law of sorts passed away.
She was such a nice lady.
It must have been tough on all of you.
Such is life.
Eat up before it gets cold.
Sure.
I enjoyed the food.
I'll come by the next time I'm in Incheon.
I'm glad you enjoyed the food. Do come by again.
I will. Goodbye.
I have to go too.
Bye.
This way.
Taesan Noodles.
Mr. Choi, I have bad news.
What is it?
The man that got hurt ended up dying.
What? He's dead?
What's the matter, Mr. Choi?
A resident of the slum was hurt? You never mentioned this to me.
I apologize.
How badly hurt was he? Is it serious?
He was unconscious...
and he just died.
What? He died?
It won't be a problem.
How can someone's death not be a problem?
Have you lost your mind?
None of the residents know our men's identity.
Even if there's an investigation, the police won't get anywhere.
We can't afford any problems at an important time as this.
This can't lead back to us,
Mr. Nam, or any of his men.
I'm aware of that.
I'll tell Mr. Nam to send his men into hiding.
You asked me to trust you with this...
and you messed it up.
I apologize.
Forget it. Get out.
Doctor, am I pregnant?
I'm sorry, but you aren't.
I must be.
I felt nauseated and my period is late and I'm not pregnant?
You aren't. How long have you been married for?
About five years.
Before coming to us,
did you get any check-ups at any other hospitals?
I saw a doctor four years ago because I couldn't get pregnant.
But he said I was fine.
Is there a problem, doctor?
I can't say for sure until I run some tests,
but I think there's a problem with your fallopian tubes.
My fallopian tubes?
What happens then?
If I am right,
you could be infertile.
Infertile?
I'm just saying it's a possibility.
We can only be sure after we run the tests.
Will you have them done?
Mr. Hong. Why are you spreading such groundless rumors?
Groundless rumors? What do you mean?
Dae Bong said that you told him we're getting married.
Why? Were you not going to?
A man and woman in love with each other should get married.
You are unbelievable. Who do you think loves whom?
I don't want a man like you even if I were offered 10 truckloads.
It's okay because I like you.
How've you been?
Ms. Oh.
Mr. Kim, welcome, welcome.
Why haven't you been around? I missed you, you know.
Oh, did you? I've been busy with work.
I knew you'd be upset, so I got you a present.
Here you go.
This is why I can't hate you.
- Sit over here. - Okay.
- How have you been? - I've been well.
What is she doing?
I should do something.
I can't let her go on like this.
Dal Ja, did you see a doctor?
You're pregnant, aren't you?
No.
What? It can't be.
Did the doctor say no?
I'm sorry, Dae Bong.
Why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong.
You'll get pregnant soon. Don't worry.
Dae Bong, the doctor told me today that...
What? What did the doctor say?
Nothing. He didn't say anything.
Don't you worry.
I heard that worrying too much can also cause infertility.
To become parents, we must wait for our baby to come to us.
Let's be patient and wait, okay?
Okay.
Sook Hee, your diamond ring.
How much does something like that cost?
Why are you asking about that?
I just want to know how much they cost.
You could work your whole life and still not afford it.
Did you have to put it like that?
How much does a diamond the size of a seed cost?
Even that must cost a lot.
Why? Do you want to buy one for the woman you're seeing?
Not at all. I was just curious...
Let's eat our dinner.
Talking about diamond rings reminded me of something.
I saw Tae Soo in the street yesterday.
Tae Soo?
Yes. I saw him on the way back from the music store.
He and Jeong Wook were having a chat.
We just happened to meet by chance.
What would you have to say to him?
We didn't say much. We just said hi.
I still shiver when I think of what happened then.
You should keep your distance from people like him.
I will.
Soo In.
You look terrible.
I'll take you to see a Chinese doctor tomorrow.
- A Chinese doctor? - Yes.
You're pale and you aren't as cheery as you used to be.
You need a tonic.
I don't, ma'am. I'm fine.
You are not fine.
I don't feel at ease having a helper around...
who looks so lifeless. You're going with me.
Mom.
Put him down, Mr. Kim. He's getting heavy.
It's fine, I can manage.
No. Ji Hoon, come down. He's tired.
Come over here.
- Seon Woo. - Yes?
Can't you be my dad?
- Dad? - Yes.
I want you to be my dad.
Ji Hoon, you can't say that.
I apologize, ma'am.
It's okay.
He's just a clueless child.
Did everything work out in Incheon?
Yes. I dropped by Taesan Noodles on the way back,
but both Mr. Jung and Mr. Choi were out and I couldn't say hi.
Did you come straight back after the meeting?
No, I had some gukbab with the factory manager.
He took me to where he says serves the best soup in Incheon.
It really was good. We should go another time.
We should.
I think we should talk about Ji Hoon.
Why?
It's good that you're so nice to Soo In and her son,
but you should be more careful.
What do you mean?
Is this about what Ji Hoon said earlier?
That too.
We may think it's okay,
but others could get the wrong idea.
It could cause some trouble or confusion down the line.
Just be careful.
It's best for both Soo In and Ji Hoon...
if you watch yourself.
Grandma.
What?
Never mind. I'll go up to my room. Goodnight.
You too. Sleep well.
We may think it's okay,
but others could get the wrong idea.
It could cause some trouble or confusion down the line.
Just be careful.
(Gyeongdong Chinese Medicine)
Ma'am, I'm really okay. I don't need Chinese medicine.
You do. Come to think of it, I was preoccupied with Seon Woo...
and didn't care as much for you. I'm sorry about that.
You don't need to apologize, ma'am.
I think I do. You haven't been looking well at all lately.
I don't know what's bothering you,
but have some medicine and get well.
A mother should be healthy.
How could you care for Ji Hoon if you're this frail?
- Yoon Soo In. - Here.
Let's go inside. Come along.
Now eat up.
The doctor said that...
when you're weak, you need to eat well.
You don't eat well enough.
I'll have Tae Soo bring you the medicine when it's ready.
You must eat three meals a day while you're taking the tonic, okay?
Yes.
I think I mentioned this once before.
For Ji Hoon's sake,
why don't you get remarried?
Me?
No, ma'am, I don't want to get married again.
Don't say that. Give it some thought.
You're too young to stay single forever...
and Ji Hoon's growing up.
It's hard for a single mother to raise a son alone.
Ji Hoon needs a father figure.
We can talk about that another time.
Let's eat.
I have to attend a foundation board meeting in the afternoon.
Eat up.
It's delicious.
(Chungil Flour)
I thought we would be in there a while.
I'm glad the board meeting went so well.
It's all because you were a great mediator.
I heard that around this time, each party nominates a candidate.
Yes, that's right.
I wish you the best of luck. You should join Congress.
I would like that, but even if it doesn't work out,
I will consider that my fate.
You've done a lot of good deeds.
I'm sure you'll get the nomination.
Our country needs people like you in Congress.
Thank you so much for saying so.
Ma'am, I brought you this.
What's this?
I heard that Mr. Kim paints in his free time.
I happen to know a master brush-maker.
I asked him to make these for me.
Thank you so much for looking out for us.
Seon Woo loves to paint. He will like it very much.
I should ask him to paint my portrait one day.
I'd like him to,
but he prefers to paint landscapes rather than people.
He hasn't even painted me yet.
Has he not?
Then I'll ask him to paint you while he's painting me.
If I get a free portrait out of the deal, I'm all for it.
Madam Cho said you shouldn't skip your meals or medicine.
What is it?
I went with her because she insisted,
but I'm not sure if I deserve this.
I feel so guilty.
Madam Cho cares so much for me.
If she were to find out,
she would feel so betrayed.
Soo In.
I can't stand this. I need to move out as soon as possible.
I think that's the only way.
Can you find me a place soon?
Okay. If that's what you want, I will.
Hang in there.
Thanks, Tae Soo.
Do you really know how to read palms?
Are you lying just to hold my hand?
Be still and be quiet.
I need to focus on the lines.
Let me see...
Oh, dear...
Your parents were absent.
How did you know that?
My parents died when I was young.
You're really good at this.
What else?
This is your marriage line.
You got unlucky with your parents, but you'll get lucky with a husband.
Will I? I don't care about the marriage line.
Can you tell if I'll be wealthy? That's what I really want to know.
Okay, then. Let's see, your wealth line...
Your wealth line... Here it is.
Ms. Oh! What are you doing?
You can't shout at someone else's workplace.
(Cafe Tiffany)
What do you want? Why did you want to see me?
I'll be very direct.
I'll get to the point and only say it once.
Do not hit on Ms. Oh ever again.
"Hit on" her? My goodness...
Where are your manners?
Why do you care what I do with Ms. Oh?
I care because I'm allowed to.
If you're here for coffee,
drink your coffee and leave.
If you use things like palmistry to hit on Ms. Oh again,
you will see and feel my wrath.
What?
Who are you to say something like that to me?
That is a very good question.
I am the man whom Ms. Oh...
will marry.
What?
She's getting married?
She didn't say so.
Well, now you know.
That was a clear warning.
If I see you here again, you won't be able to walk off.
Remember that.
What?
You won't let me walk off?
What do you think you can do to me?
If you want to find out, show up here again.
Then, I will show you...
what'll happen.
Why you...
What?
The police are looking for whoever killed the slum resident?
Yes. There are police everywhere.
How did they see his face?
His mask slid off during the altercation.
I think someone saw him.
Why are you telling me this now? You've made a huge mess.
I'm sorry.
Where is he now?
With Mang Chi in a warehouse.
Okay. Keep him there...
so no one sees him.
Mr. Jung and I will discuss what to do next.
Come in.
- Father. - What is it?
The police are after one of Mr. Nam's men.
Is he the one who killed one of the residents?
Yes. But he managed to evade the police.
He's hiding in a warehouse.
What do you think you're doing?
Do you know what'll happen if the police find him?
I'm really sorry.
What good is an apology now?
Bring me a solution right now.
Smuggle him overseas right away.
Smuggle him?
Wherever we hide him, he'll be a burden.
Get rid of him before things get worse.
Yes, sir.
If I get nothing after going through all this trouble,
I will never be able to forgive you.
You'd better get the residents out of that slum...
and clean up this mess right away.
Yes, Father.
Why won't you ask me what the doctor said?
You'd have told me already if it were good news.
Right. I'm not pregnant.
Don't worry too much, Dal Ja.
Remember what Soon Ok said before she passed?
You will have a lovely baby and raise it well.
Not being able to have a baby is this heartbreaking.
You lost two children that you carried and gave birth to.
I can't even begin to imagine how you must've felt.
I sent both my children ahead of me. That makes me a sinner.
Don't say that. It wasn't your fault.
It feels like it was.
A baby I didn't even get to name.
I can still see his face.
Min Jae's face and his voice.
I still think he'll run into my arms.
Young Sun.
I didn't produce milk the first time.
My first son died before I could suckle him.
I couldn't find him a wet nurse during the war.
He was so hungry he barely had the energy to cry.
For my first son and Min Jae...
I feel like I did nothing for them as a mom.
I feel so guilty and sad about that.
I'm sorry for bringing up your painful past.
It's okay.
Madam Cho finished her work for the day and just left for home.
Did she? Thanks.
Do you mind if I go home a little early?
Why? Is something wrong?
It's my wife's death anniversary.
Is it? Then of course you must go home early.
Thank you.
I don't even know the day my mother died.
It was because the war was raging.
I know.
My mom must be quite upset.
No one knows when she died...
and I never mourned her.
Once I get married, I'll pick an appropriate date...
to remember her by each year.
I shouldn't neglect her.
Where's Soo In?
Is she out shopping?
What...
What is this?
You're back early, ma'am.
Come and sit down.
Ji Hoon, go to our room.
Okay.
Ma'am.
You.
Do not lie to me.
Answer me truthfully.
You and Seon Woo.
What is your relationship?
Pardon?
Do you two...
like each other? Is that it? And you kept it from me?
No, ma'am.
Did you refuse to get remarried...
because of Seon Woo?
No, ma'am, it's not like that at all.
Please believe me.
Explain the painting in Seon Woo's room.
He painted a portrait of you.
Is this...
a one-sided affair?
Does he like you and you don't like him back?
Well...
How could this be?
Ma'am.
I'm really sorry.
I think it's preposterous.
That's why I was looking for a place to move to.
I asked Tae Soo a few days ago...
to find me a place for Ji Hoon and I.
Once we move out,
Mr. Kim will change his mind.
I'm so sorry about this.
I did not...
take you in...
for something like this to happen.
I understand.
You've been so good to me.
That's why...
I feel so bad.
Thank you for everything so far.
Mom, are we going somewhere?
Yes.
You and I have to go somewhere else.
Where?
Ma'am, we'll leave now.
I hope you understand...
why I can't stop you.
I do.
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
Say goodbye, Ji Hoon.
Goodbye, Grandma.
Let's go.
You can stay here tonight.
I'll find you a place tomorrow.
Okay, thanks.
Wouldn't you prefer to stay at my place?
I can sleep elsewhere.
No, I don't want to inconvenience you.
I feel more comfortable here.
Okay, but why did you leave so suddenly?
Did something happen?
Madam Cho found out how Mr. Kim feels.
Does Mr. Kim know that?
Not yet.
If Mr. Kim asks where we are,
you can't tell him, okay?
Okay, I won't.
I'll let you rest. I'll be back tomorrow.
Sorry, Tae Soo.
Mom, do we have to sleep here?
I don't like it here.
You're a good boy, aren't you? We'll sleep here tonight...
and go somewhere else tomorrow.
It's just for tonight.
Mom, I miss Grandma and Seon Woo.
(Seoul Inn)
I'm home.
Why's the house so quiet?
Are Soo In and Ji Hoon out?
Soo In's gone now.
What do you mean she's gone?
She moved out.
Don't think of looking for her.
What are you talking about?
Why would she move out?
Were you in love with her without me knowing?
What... How did you find out?
How could you like someone like...
Is that why you...
didn't show up to meet Hee Joo's family?
Is that it?
Did you send her away? Because of that?
Yes, I sent her away.
I told her to leave because I couldn't stand seeing her anymore.
Grandma!
Where is she? Where did she go?
Why?
Will you bring her back if you knew?
Of course.
I can't live without her!
What? How dare you say that to my face.
Get a grip!
Tell me, Grandma. Where is she?
Where did she go?
Forget about her. The sooner the better.
Get your wits back and get married.
Grandma.
Seon Woo!
Soo In.
Soo In!
The remaining residents agreed to move out.
I solved the problem that had been plaguing you.
I heard that there was a problem in the process.
Well, that was...
Why are we at the government office?
I want to put her on my family register.
I'm sorry, Soon Ok.
If you don't mind me saying, I'm so pleased.
Soo In doesn't love you.
I will find her and marry her.
Tell me where Soo In and Ji Hoon are.
