(Episode 16)
Why did you do it?
Why did you give my sister the money you were saving up?
Why do you keep making me look bad?
You told me once that...
when I was upset about my dad, we should be different.
We should understand and comfort each other.
Why don't you do that?
Why do you suffer alone?
This is different.
Will you give up on college to help me?
How can I focus on studying when you're so troubled?
Also, I haven't given up on college.
It might take longer now, but I will eventually go.
- I'll save up again... - Soo In.
I don't like it when you do this.
Jeong Wook.
Why? Why should you start college later for me?
Do you think that will make me happy or glad?
You're wrong. That's what I despise the most.
You becoming unhappy because of me.
I wish I were from a rich family and that...
I could give you everything.
But in reality, I live in a mess.
I don't want to drag you into this terrible reality of mine.
Why can't you understand?
My life is desolate,
but you're my fresh air and you give me strength.
How could I face you knowing that I made you unhappy?
That would really be the end between us.
The end? Between us?
Soo In.
(Incheon Cafe)
Soo In.
I'm sorry.
I was so upset I just blurted it out.
If my family were in your situation,
would you not have done anything?
Could you not?
Yes, I would have done what you did.
I know how you feel, but...
that's what made me angrier. I wasn't angry with you.
I was angry with myself for being so stupid.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I should apologize.
I didn't think about you.
No.
Please forget...
what I just said.
I'm sorry for breaking your heart.
Jeong Wook.
I'll see what I can do to get your tuition.
From now on,
don't say that you'll put off college...
or take your time.
Okay?
(Incheon Clinic)
To be honest, because of how he had messed up before,
I didn't like Mr. Choi much.
- You didn't? - No.
But I'm so grateful that he saved your life...
and feel bad for not liking him. You were very lucky.
I really can't live without you.
My heart pounds just thinking how scared I was yesterday.
I'll get some water.
Okay.
Hang in there.
Soo In. My mother wants to meet you.
- Me? - Yes.
It's Sunday tomorrow. Would you like to meet my family?
Do you mind?
No.
I'll visit your family.
I should visit your parents first.
Don't worry about that. You can visit them later.
Let's visit your family first.
Are you okay with that?
I am.
Okay, then. I'll tell Mom to expect us.
She'll be pleased.
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
Come into my office, Mr. Choi.
Sure.
You're doing to the milling factory to discuss renewing the contract.
I'm hoping we can buy their flour at a lower price.
I'll bring it up today.
Good. It won't be easy to negotiate, but see how they react.
Yes, sir.
Se Young comes home from hospital today.
I have business to take care of.
Could you pick her up for me?
Of course, sir.
Thank you.
Did you meet the witness down in Busan last week?
What? Oh, yes, I met him, I did.
- Are you sure? - Of course I am.
I didn't even have to threaten him.
He said he'd totally forgotten what happened that day.
He didn't even recognize me at first.
Really? Good.
But still, contact him every now and then.
I will, sir.
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Jung. I was about to call you.
Congressman Park's son checks out.
He always got very good grades...
and those who know him think highly of him.
Is that so? Then call to set up a meeting for tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yes. I'll call his office to arrange a meeting.
Sir, what do you think Mr. Jung is up to?
I don't know. I just can't tell.
What should I do about the classes I missed?
Classes are nothing compared to your health.
You'll still nag if my grades are poor.
What brings you here?
Mr. Jung was busy and sent me instead.
I see.
I'll take that.
Thanks, Mr. Choi.
Why are you here?
Once you used things like this, put them back where they were.
Put them away.
No. I put them here because I'll use them soon.
- You're so nosy. - What?
How dare you!
Once I'm named your new manager, I will end your career.
- My new manager? - Yes, you fool.
It'll be announced in a few days, so just you wait.
The day I start here is the day you lose your job.
What?
This factory has no hierarchy.
Nobody knows their place.
Hi.
Tae Soo, I'm in trouble.
What's wrong?
Se Young's uncle will be our new manager.
Really? What's the problem?
He said he'll fire me right away.
What? He can't mean that.
What should I do now?
Did you pick her up?
Yes.
Are you okay now?
Yes, Uncle.
Are you going out?
To take care of business. Go on and get some rest.
Where are you going? Man Pyo!
I don't hear you.
Mom.
Okay, let's go inside.
Mr. Choi, can you bring our bags?
Sure.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Thank you for helping out today.
- I shall leave, then. - Sure.
You're back.
Is everything okay?
Yes. How is Se Young?
She seemed okay.
Did she?
That's good to hear.
I'll drop by the milling factory and then see a few other clients.
Okay. I'll tell Mr. Jung that.
Shall we watch a movie this evening?
Okay. See you later.
Bye.
Dae Bong, why are you so downcast? Is something wrong?
Soon Ok, do you think you could find me a job?
What? What are you talking about?
I think I might lose my job at the factory.
Why? Did something bad happen?
Se Young's uncle will be the new manager.
What does that have to do with you?
We don't really see eye-to-eye.
He wouldn't fire a good worker like you for that.
It's pretty obvious what happened.
I bet he teased Se Young's uncle.
What?
Dal Ja.
He's your boss' brother-in-law.
You should've gotten on his good side.
Why were you so rude?
Are you trying to upset me?
You won't lose your job.
You never know. He just might.
That's enough.
I was being thoughtful and this is what I get in return.
Do you think that glare scares me?
Your eyeballs might just pop out.
Are you done?
Yes, I'm done.
Stop it, Dae Bong. Finish your food.
I'm done.
It's your loss.
Dae Bong, did you just have lunch?
Yes.
Is something wrong? You don't look too happy.
I'm fine. Enjoy your meal.
You aren't fine.
I don't know what's wrong, but try to be positive.
It's all up to your mindset.
Come by my cafe one day. I'll treat you to a coffee.
No, I'll give you ssanghwacha with two egg yolks.
Okay? So cheer up.
Okay.
See you later. I'm starving.
I like how she's always so cheerful.
(Tailor-made Wigs)
You owned a brewery and an earthenware store,
and you worked at a tannery.
You haven't worked at a wig factory, then.
I haven't.
This was 10 years ago. What did you do after that?
You see, I had to go somewhere for a while.
Where?
To be honest, I was framed for what I didn't do...
and did time in prison.
In prison?
Yes.
Mr. Yoon.
You shouldn't have told him the truth.
He asked. I couldn't lie.
Are you that naive? Think about it.
If you were a CEO and an interviewee said he did time for 10 years,
would you hire the person?
You'll never find work.
Your family register will show that you were convicted.
That's why I got you the interview through my contacts.
What should I do now?
What else can you do? You'll never find work like this.
Maybe you can solder pots.
What? Solder pots?
You're good with your hands and a soldering iron.
And you don't need capital.
This is unbelievable.
What now?
What a mess.
How dare he suggest I solder pots in the corner of the market.
How did the great Yoon Dong Chul end up like this?
I have the money, so don't dream of getting it from Soo In.
Wait. Soon Ok could have lied...
to keep me away from Soo In's money.
That's right.
Let me see...
Where is it?
Where would she put it?
- Dad. - You scared me.
Make some noise before you come in.
You almost scared me to death.
Sorry. What are you doing in our room?
What? What would I be doing?
I was checking if the floor's warm. It's nice and warm.
What? They agreed to lower the flour price?
Yes. We'll sign a contract at a price that's 10 percent lower.
I thought it would be tough. How did you manage?
They refused to do business when I first brought it up,
but then I showed them how much we sell compared to others.
Other factories sell less each year,
but our sales are increasing every year.
In the long run, it would profit them to sell to us.
Did you research our competitors before heading over there?
Yes.
Well done.
Thank you. I'll bring you a draft of the contract.
You do that. Are you free later today?
If you are, how about a drink with me?
What? Do you have plans?
No, sir. I'll be there.
Sorry, but I can't watch a movie with you.
Why not?
Mr. Jung wants to see me.
Does he?
It works out, then. I have something else to do as well.
Something else to do? Like what?
(Chinese Restaurant)
You did very well.
And thank you for saving Se Young.
It's nothing, sir.
You remind me of when I was young.
Others say I married a rich woman and rode on my in-laws' coattails,
but they don't know how hard I worked.
How much sweat and tears I shed just to get here.
No one knows.
Keep doing what you do and do it hard.
You will succeed one day.
I will remember that, sir.
Good. Now drink up.
Se Young, Daddy's home.
Honey, why did you have so much to drink?
Well...
I was in a good mood, so I took Mr. Choi out for a drink.
How happy were you that you drank so much?
I'll take him to his room.
I can manage.
See yourself out.
Wait.
Shall we...
try dating?
- Why did you snort? - Don't be silly.
I'm not joking.
I know very well what you think of me.
But what you know isn't my all.
I'll show you my other side.
Think about what I just said.
(Incheon Bus Terminus)
What's all this?
I bought some presents for your family.
I can't go empty-handed.
You didn't have to get them anything.
Nothing's too expensive.
Come along. Let's not waste time.
That thing you had to do yesterday was to go shopping?
Yes.
I feel so nervous.
Don't be. Relax.
What if your mom doesn't like me?
That will never happen. My mom...
and my siblings will all like you.
Do you really think so?
I do.
Why are you packing a lunchbox?
It's for a friend.
A friend?
Yes. She lives alone and doesn't eat properly.
Who's this friend?
You don't know her. Do you need something?
No. Dad asked for some water.
All done.
Excuse me.
Who are you? Are you here to see someone?
Does Choi Jeong Wook rent one of your rooms?
Yes.
But he's not here at the moment.
He went out?
He said he's going to visit his family.
He went home?
Jeong Hee.
You're home.
Why did you tell me to come home?
Jeong Wook's bringing his future wife to meet us.
She's not his future wife until he walks her down the aisle.
Where's Mom?
In the kitchen.
- I'm home. - Jeong Shik.
You're home.
You cooked as if we're expecting an important guest.
Your brother's future wife is an important guest.
The food is so simple and meager.
This is a practical feast.
Don't grovel to her just because she gave us some money.
- We'll repay her soon anyway. - Jeong Shik.
I bought some pork for you and Jeong Min.
That's great. I was worried we only had vegetables.
Stir-fry this, Jeong Min.
Okay.
Keep it for yourself, Mom.
Mom, we're here.
They're here.
Welcome home.
Are you well, Mom?
Of course I am.
Hello, nice to meet you.
I'm glad you're here. Was the trip very long?
Not at all.
When did you get here?
I came back yesterday. Jeong Shik just got here.
It's been a while. How are you?
I'm always the same.
Let's not stand about. Come inside, all of you.
You look so pretty. I'm glad you're here.
I was so grateful when Jeong Hee told me...
you had helped us out.
I wanted to see you so much,
I pestered Jeong Wook and made him bring you over.
It's fine.
Please take this.
I bought some spring clothes for you and the others.
You didn't have to bring us anything.
I feel bad for ruining your day off.
Don't say that. I hope the clothes fit.
Thank you.
- I like them. - Thank you.
They're not that nice.
Jeong Shik.
You must be hungry. Let's eat.
Let me help.
Don't. Stay here.
I'll help.
You're back already? Does the friend live nearby?
What? Oh, yes.
Mom.
Do you know where Mr. Choi's family lives?
His family? No, I don't know.
Your dad will know. Why do you ask?
No reason.
There's not much, but I hope you enjoy it.
There's more than enough. She should be grateful.
Jeong Shik, didn't you say you work at a new factory now?
He's really good at what he does.
The sewing factories in Pyeonghwa Market all wanted to hire him.
It wasn't like that. Eat up.
Where do you work now?
At Midosa.
Have some meat.
Thank you.
I told you to save the meat for yourself.
It's for us to share.
I'll have some too. Eat up.
Eat all you want.
What do you want to say?
- What's wrong with you? - What?
You know what. She will be your sister-in-law.
You've been acting like you're itching to start a fight.
Will you really marry her?
What?
Why are you so selfish?
What do you mean?
She's a clerk at the factory you work at.
She doesn't look that rich.
Did you fight to go to college to marry a girl like her?
You're the eldest son. Do you know what that means?
Jeong Shik, I know what you mean, but...
No, you don't know.
You wouldn't. I mean you couldn't do this if you knew.
I know what I'm doing. Watch your manners from now on.
Think about it.
What should you do for our family?
Come by again, Soo In.
I will. See you again.
Thanks so much for coming by today.
Please don't thank me.
Look after yourself and don't skip your meals.
Have Jeong Wook bring you over again.
- I will. - See you again, Soo In.
I'll come to the factory to see you next time.
Sure. See you then.
Take care, Soo In. Bye, Jeong Wook.
Study hard, okay?
Go on inside. I'll call when I get home.
See you soon.
Bye. Take care.
Bye, Soo In.
I asked to see you about your son's prospective spouse.
Did you? Have you asked around already?
Yes.
Who's the young lady?
Do I know her family?
Yes. It's my daughter.
Your own daughter?
Welcome.
Are you tired?
No, I'm fine.
Wait.
I'm sorry if Jeong Shik upset you today.
I apologize instead.
Don't say that. I'm fine.
He's a smart kid but couldn't study because of me.
He worked to earn my tuition and couldn't finish high school.
He's the sibling I owe the most to.
I need you to understand.
He expects a lot from me.
I wasn't upset at all.
Seeing you in my house with my mom and siblings...
made me think you really are mine now.
From now on, I'll be good to you.
I will never make you sad again.
I have no problems with that. I approve of your daughter.
I won't go on a blind date.
Oh, dear.
She asked me to give you this.
I hope you enjoy it. From Se Young.
Don't do this. I love someone else.
I will make Mr. Choi love me, whatever it takes.
I don't know you.
I'm the new factory manager.
Who said I'd make you factory manager?
Do you think you suit my brother?
