(Jeil Groceries)
(License for Food Manufacture)
Se Young.
Why are you out here?
Me?
I came out for some fresh air. Why are you here?
I have some paperwork to finish.
Oh, do you?
- I have to go. - Okay.
(Office)
Let's see you take that.
You're meeting Jeil Groceries' CEO to discuss the deal today.
- Is everything ready? - Yes, I have everything.
Jeil's one of the five largest grocery stores in Incheon.
They have branches in Seoul and other cities,
so supplying them will be a great chance to promote our noodles.
I know that.
I'm sure you're well-prepared, but Jeil's CEO is very meticulous.
Be sure you have everything.
I will. I should be off, then.
Are you leaving?
Yes, I have to go now.
Good luck with the contract.
Thank you.
(Business License)
You don't have all the papers.
Where's the food manufacture licence and document of unit price?
Pardon? They must be in there.
See for yourself.
This can't be. I swear I put them in here.
I can't believe you wanted to talk business when you can't...
even remember to bring all the paperwork.
I will go and get them.
- Leave it. - Pardon?
I can tell a lot from you.
I cannot do business with someone who is this careless.
- Sir. - Please leave.
What is wrong with you?
How could you forget the basic paperwork?
I apologize. I'll do what I can to get this deal worked out.
How?
I told you to make sure you were prepared.
I guess I overestimated you.
I am so disappointed.
I will sort this out, sir.
Forget it. Get out.
What happened? You said you had everything.
It's so strange. I checked many times yesterday.
What happens now?
I'll get the papers I forgot and go back.
Don't worry too much. See you later.
Nice.
I feel better now. My hands were shaking earlier.
I told you never to skip a meal.
Ms. Lee came in late and I had no choice.
I usually eat regularly.
I'm glad to hear that.
You ladies are the only people who seem to care about me.
What's wrong with Dal Ja?
She looks like someone who just broke up with her boyfriend.
You're right. I lost my love.
Were you dating someone? Who?
Someone called Na Hoon A.
What? Na Hoon A? What do you mean?
It was in the paper that the singer will get married and retire.
Dal Ja's been upset all morning.
My goodness.
Do you even know how many years younger he is than you?
Age is nothing when it comes to love.
You aren't a kid anymore. Why don't you love someone real?
You look very silly.
I do not look silly.
How can I date someone when there are no men nearby?
I might just serve soup for the rest of my life.
Why don't you know any men? There's Dae Bong.
What?
Is he a man?
Is he a woman? You two would look nice together.
No way! Don't you even think he's my match.
Young Sun, don't you think they suit each other?
I think they do.
What was that?
Oh dear. Are you okay?
You're Se Young's uncle.
It's you again, Mr. Ko.
You're still just as careless.
Aren't you dry?
Fortunately...
What? "Aren't you dry?"
Did you hope I'd get wet?
When did I say that?
You did just now.
No, you must have misheard.
- Do you have hearing problems? - What?
What did you say? I'll teach you a lesson.
Hong Man Pyo!
Sook Hee.
Why are you here? You never called.
I told you already that I came to see you.
Did you lose all the money you took last time?
I did not.
You do this too often and I'm sick of it.
I said it's not that. Don't you believe me?
You lost my trust.
Will you believe me if I leave?
Fine. I got to see you, so I'll leave.
I'm leaving.
I'm going.
Did you really...
come for no reason?
This is so upsetting. You don't see how I feel.
Weren't you on your way out?
I was, to see some friends.
I don't have to go.
Really? Then...
I'd like some food. I'm hungry.
- Unbelievable. - Hurry.
Sir, I brought the papers I'd forgotten.
- Have a look... - I see...
you didn't get the point. I told you very clearly.
I will not do business with a person who started off on the wrong foot.
I will never make such a mistake again. I apologize.
Go away. I won't change my mind.
Sir.
Sir, it's time for you to leave.
Is it? You can leave.
Sir, just this once.
(Jeil Groceries)
Sir, please give me another chance.
Sir!
Sir, please, just once.
Let's go.
Sir! Sir! Sir!
Sir! Sir!
Is that true?
It is. I can't believe Mr. Choi made such a mistake.
What did Mr. Jung say?
He was really angry.
He said he was disappointed.
Do you think Jeong Wook will be okay?
I hope he is.
It was a really big contract. I don't know what'll happen.
Let's wait and see.
Let's get to work.
(Jeil Groceries)
Hello, Taesan Noodles.
It's me.
Where are you? Why aren't you back yet?
I don't think I'll be back tonight.
You can go home.
Where are you?
Are you still at Jeil Groceries?
Don't worry. I'll do whatever it takes to get this deal.
I have to go. See you tomorrow.
- Where's the CEO? - He went home.
Where does he live?
I can't tell you that.
I really have to see him today.
Oh dear.
I will make it up to you. Please help me.
Hi, Soo In.
We need to talk.
What about?
You must never give your father any money.
How do you know about that?
I heard everything you two said outside the factory yesterday.
I do know how you feel, but don't give him the money.
Doing so will ruin him, not help him.
Okay?
I think he's just too shameless.
How could he go to your workplace and ask for an advance?
What did you say? What advance?
Soon Ok. I meant...
Soo In, what's this about?
If that had happened, you should've told me.
Why did you keep it to yourself?
I didn't want to worry you.
You must never give him the money.
That's your tuition. Won't you go to college?
I will go.
Then why did you offer him the money?
To pay the debt.
What debt?
The debt of burden.
He wasted 10 years...
because of me.
Soo In.
I wanted to make it up to him.
I thought it would make me feel better.
Why would you think like that?
It's not like that at all.
I will tell your father that I have the money.
- Stay out of it. - Mom.
Please, stop thinking it was your fault.
Focus on your own life.
Go to college and study all you want.
Fall in love and get married.
Focus on how you can be happy.
Okay?
Soon Ok sincerely wishes that is how Soo In will live.
She also strongly believes that is how a person should live.
She wants Soo In to shrug off the hurt her family caused...
and live the life she wants in happiness.
That is how Soon Ok wishes to make up for...
the pain she caused Soo In.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Is Soo In home?
Don't even dream of taking her money.
What?
Is that what she told you?
You went to the factory and asked for an advance.
That was...
Do you know what that money is for?
It's Soo In's college tuition.
I have it now, so don't think of asking her for it.
Wait, Soon Ok.
Oh dear.
What was Soon Ok talking about? Soo In's money?
What a mess.
Did you ask Soo In for money?
Don't ask.
How could you?
She's my eldest daughter.
She can give me some money if I, her father, needs it.
She's saving up to go to college.
I get it, so stop it.
I won't get the money anyway.
What's the money for?
It's nothing serious.
Are you in trouble again?
I said it's not like that.
Where are you going?
To the bookstore. I need a book for tomorrow's assignment.
Why didn't you get it sooner?
Man Pyo, go with her.
What for? It's not like Se Young's a little kid.
I'll be fine on my own. I won't be long.
Why can't you go with her?
Take care, then. It might rain. Take an umbrella.
Okay, see you.
Stay safe.
Sook Hee, is Jae Man very busy? He's late.
Are you sure you aren't here to ask for some money?
Will you stop asking that? You're wrong.
My goodness.
You want to change the use of land.
Wait a little longer.
Thank you, sir.
I'm always asking you for difficult favors.
Don't say that.
Come to me whenever you have a problem.
Thank you.
Mr. Jung.
What are you collecting all this money for?
I'm just curious.
The more money you have, the better.
It helps cement our friendship, doesn't it?
Am I wrong?
You're witty. Have a drink.
Sure.
My son returns from America this year.
Do you know of any eligible young ladies?
- Eligible young ladies? - Yes.
He wants to stay and study a bit more,
but I'm afraid he'll put off marriage until he's too old.
Could you recommend a good family with a daughter of suitable age?
Sure, I'll ask around for you.
(Book Rental)
Sir, I'm Choi Jeong Wook from Taesan Noodles.
Sir!
Please open the door, sir.
Sir!
Sir, please open the door.
Please open the door.
Isn't that Choi Jeong Wook?
Why is he here without an umbrella?
Sir!
- Sir. - It's you again.
What are you doing in the middle of the night? Go away.
Sir, could you please reconsider the deal?
You can't even bring the appropriate papers.
How can I trust you with a deal?
Give up and go home.
I brought everything you need.
Please, sir. Please reconsider.
Go away!
Sir! Sir!
- Sir! - Is he here...
because of that deal?
Sir!
Please, sir. Please reconsider.
Go away!
Sir!
Sir! Sir!
Did he have to go that far?
Now I feel bad.
You can't even bring the appropriate papers.
How can I trust you with a deal?
Give up and go home.
Sir, please give me another chance.
Sir! Sir! Sir!
Sir!
I guess I overestimated you.
I am so disappointed.
Jae Man, I hoped to see you yesterday but you were very late.
Yes, I had to meet people for work.
Oh, I see.
I heard you're producing much more nowadays.
I really think you are a great and capable businessman.
Thank you. How is your business doing?
I'm doing fine.
You see, my current business is very closely tied to...
the current international state of affairs.
It's not that easy. That's why I need...
Dad.
Yes, Se Young?
Is the deal Mr. Choi lost out on that big of a deal?
How do you know about that?
I happened to overhear some of the workers.
- I see. - What?
Did Mr. Choi let you down?
Jeil Groceries is quite a big chain in Incheon.
Mr. Choi made a mistake and lost it the deal.
What did I say? I told you not to trust him too much.
Fire him right away.
What?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I would have had it been anyone else,
but Mr. Choi's one of the best.
He's the eldest of seven siblings...
and the whole family looks to him for support.
Even more reason for him not to mess up.
He was such a show-off.
One mistake is a lesson well-learned.
I'm sure he'll do better from now on.
You are so generous and thoughtful, Jae Man.
Did you catch a cold? I'll get you some medicine.
No, don't bother.
It's not serious.
Medicine will speed up your recover.
I won't be long.
Where's Choi Jeong Wook?
Get out here!
Get out here, Choi Jeong Wook!
Choi Jeong Wook!
Where are you, Choi Jeong Wook?
There you are.
Let's talk outside.
No thanks. So, when will you give me my money?
I said I'd pay you next month.
How can we believe that?
Why can't you? I'll pay you back next month.
How dare you shout. You owe us!
What has the world come to?
You owe us, so don't act like you're above us.
Ma'am, how could you talk like that?
Who are you?
Go back inside.
- Mr. Choi. - Now!
What our ancestors said was actually right.
You borrow money kneeling and pay it back standing up.
I lent you my money because you looked so pitiful.
I can't believe I have to fight to get it back!
Let's talk outside.
Don't touch me.
You people. Don't ever lend anyone your money.
You'll end up like me.
What's this noise? What's going on here?
Who are you?
Why are you making a fuss at someone else's factory?
Sir.
Are you the boss?
Choi Jeong Wook here owns us money.
Get out of here!
Go before I report you all for obstruction of business!
We'll come back if you don't pay us by the end of this month.
We warned you.
- Let's go. - You were warned.
Why is it so hard to get our money back?
Mr. Choi.
How much do you owe that they came all the way here?
I apologize.
This won't happen again.
How did the deal with Jeil Groceries go?
I think...
I failed you.
I'm very disappointed with you.
I trusted you with too much.
Do not make the same mistake again.
I will not accept it.
I'm so sorry, sir.
(Savings Account)
Jeong Wook.
Let's talk.
What's this?
I'm not sure how much it'll help, but spend all you need.
Weren't you saving up to go to college?
It's fine. I can save up again.
I can't take it.
Just take it. What if your creditors come here again?
Must you make me feel bad too?
Jeong Wook.
I feel worse than I can handle without you adding to it.
Don't do this.
I'm going inside.
Why can't you? I'll pay you back next month.
How dare you shout. You owe us!
What has the world come to?
You owe us, so don't act like you're above us.
- Come by again. - Sure.
More rice wine here.
Coming up.
Look who's here.
The great daughter of the CEO.
- Why are you here? - Don't be so sarcastic.
Did you drink this much?
What? Do you think I'm too poor to afford alcohol?
I bet that...
you're laughing at me.
I showed off and lectured you...
only to have creditors show up.
And I messed up a contract.
You're right.
Even I think...
I'm pathetic.
So...
if you want to laugh at me, go right ahead.
Do you have a cold?
A sick person should never drink this much.
That's enough. You'll feel sick later on.
Are you...
worried for me?
I am not. It's not that.
I was too harsh last time.
I said you were rude and arrogant.
I apologize.
Must you make me feel bad too?
Did he get home safely?
You're going to Seoul today.
Let's have dinner.
See you at Miju Restaurant at 7pm.
- Do you have work to do? - You can go ahead.
I'll buy next time.
If it hadn't been for Mr. Choi, Se Young would have suffered worse.
Can I speak to Jeong Wook?
