(Episode 17)
From now on, I'll be good to you.
I will never make you sad again.
- Soo In. - Jung In.
Where were you all day?
Oh, I had to take care of something at the factory.
On a Sunday?
Isn't your boss working you too hard?
He isn't. It was just something I had to take care of.
Did you eat dinner?
Yes. Where's Mom?
She's asleep. You must be tired.
I'll get warm water for you to wash with.
Seeing you in my house with my mom and siblings...
made me think you really are mine now.
Jeong Wook, are you back?
Yes, ma'am.
Is something wrong?
This is for you.
What's this?
A young lady came by with this earlier today.
She asked me to give it to you when you came back.
- A young lady? - I think she left a note.
I hope you enjoy it. Don't skip meals because you live alone.
From Se Young.
Do you have a daughter?
Yes. She's currently in college.
I see. I have no problems with that.
I approve of your daughter.
Are you sure, sir?
Of course I'm sure.
I looked for someone far away when a candidate's right here.
Thank you for thinking so highly of my family.
Let's not waste time. Set a date for them to meet up.
Sure. Pick whichever date suits you and give me a call.
I'll do that.
- Have another drink. - Sure.
Mr. Choi and Soo In were dating?
Did he take her home to meet his family?
No way.
How could this happen? How?
What?
Wait, Congressman Park Chang Seon?
He used to lead the Hanguk Party and was elected three times.
Was he? Will Se Young become his daughter-in-law?
This is such great news.
Don't get too excited.
Let's take it slow. Meet his son first.
Jae Man, you are incredible.
You'll have influential in-laws.
This is all because he worked so hard.
Why do you look upset?
She must be in shock. Why wouldn't she be?
Excuse me.
What's wrong with her?
Why were you like that during breakfast?
I'm not going on that date.
What do you mean?
I won't go on the blind date.
Your dad worked hard to set it up. You can't just say no.
I won't meet that guy. I won't.
Don't say no. You have to meet him.
Your dad will really scold you for this.
I don't care. I'm late for class.
What's wrong with you?
Oh dear.
Se Young, your father isn't here yet.
I know. Where's Mr. Choi? Is he out?
He went to see a client. Why?
Do you want to talk to him?
No.
Can we have a chat later this evening?
This evening?
Yes. I have something to say to you.
(Fix your pots)
So much smoke.
Gosh.
Come on.
Try to relax and smile.
You're chasing away potential customers.
Mr. Bang. Do I really have to do this?
You want to find the witness.
Forget everything else and focus on saving up to find him.
You're right. The witness. I must find him.
That's the spirit. Work hard,
save up, find the witness, and clear your name.
Then sue the government for compensation.
Yes. I'll do that.
I'll recommend you to my customers.
Thanks.
Mister, solder this pot for me.
Sure. Gosh, you used this for a long time.
- I'll make it look as good as new. - Please do.
- Come back later. - Thank you.
Let's fix this pot.
My goodness, it's really old.
- Enjoy the food. - Thanks.
The sole heir of a large brewery...
ended up soldering pots in the corner of the market.
Dal Ja.
All work is equally valuable.
Even so, he sits in the corner of the market.
Aren't you upset at all about all this?
Dal Ja, you know Soon Ok feels worse than us all.
Dong Chul used to waste his days doing nothing but drink and fight.
Let's consider this an improvement, okay?
Okay. I was just upset, that's all.
He's the one to blame, to be honest. He brought it upon himself.
Don't worry too much. He'll do fine.
I'm sure he will, Dal Ja.
Soon Ok, Young Sun, don't you think we should go and see him?
Do you think he'd be happy to see us?
He might not want us to see him like that.
Yes, Dal Ja. I think Soon Ok's right.
Let's go and see him once he's settled in.
Taesan Noodles.
Are you Yoon Soo In?
Yes. Who is this?
I'm Jeong Wook's brother.
Is Jeong Wook there?
Yes.
Then just listen.
Yes.
I know the place.
Okay.
Who was it?
It was from a client.
I need to go to the bank.
What's that?
The money you gave Jeong Hee.
It's not the full amount. I brought what I could.
I'll get you the rest soon.
You don't have to do this. Jeong Wook will...
Why won't you take it?
Are you going to use this to cling to Jeong Wook?
What?
I'll be frank.
Break up with my brother.
People used to call him a child genius.
He was always first in his year...
and entered college at the top of his class.
Do you think you suit him?
You're just a clerk.
I shouldn't belittle anyone's job,
but I'm just saying he's out of your league.
Do you get what I mean?
I hope you got the message. I'm off.
Don't tell Jeong Wook we met.
Jeong Shik.
Tae Soo.
Why are you here? To see Jeong Wook?
No. To see someone else.
I see. How are you?
Sorry, Tae Soo, but I have to hurry back.
What? Okay. Take care, then.
See you around. Bye.
(Incheon Cafe)
Soo In.
Tae Soo.
Why did you just come out of a cafe?
What?
Oh, I had to see someone.
I see.
I should get back.
- You're back. - Yes.
What is it? Is something wrong?
No.
You look upset.
How do I look?
I just thought something had happened.
I'm fine.
This is Taesan Noodles. Yes, sir.
I'll do that. Don't worry.
Yes. Okay, bye.
Hello, Mr. Jung.
- I see you're hard at work. - Yes.
Mr. Jung.
Yes. Is something wrong?
I have something to tell you.
Sure. Go ahead.
Well...
Speak freely.
Then I'll be direct.
Is it true that your brother-in-law will be our factory manager?
The factory manager? Who said that?
He said so himself.
It's up to you to appoint people and I don't have a say at all,
but he said he'd fire me once he became the manager.
What?
I haven't been able to sleep at night.
Mr. Jung, will I really lose my job?
That will never happen. Don't worry.
Are you sure? Can I trust you?
Trust me.
Then I trust you'll take care of it.
Forget about that and get to work.
I'll get right back to work, then.
We haven't met.
Are you in charge here?
Yes. I'm Oh Seol Hee, the owner of Cafe Tiffany.
What a pretty name and a prettier face.
I see you're quick and witty.
I haven't seen you here before. Did you move into the area?
Not exactly. Have you heard of Taesan Noodles?
Of course I have. Do you work there?
I'm the new factory manager.
I'm Mr. Jung's brother-in-law.
I didn't know you were such a great man.
I hope you come by often.
I will, I will.
What can I call you? What is your name?
You can call me CEO Hong.
Sure, CEO Hong.
What would you like? Coffee or ssanghwacha?
This is my first time here.
Let's start with a beer. Bring me two bottles.
You're such a generous man.
Ms. Lee, two beers.
Okay.
Look at the time. Let's go home.
Okay.
Shall we have dinner together?
I'm not free this evening.
Why? Do you have plans?
I have.
You do? With whom?
With Se Young.
Se Young?
I thought you weren't close.
She wanted to meet to tell me something.
I see.
I have to go. See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Jeong Wook.
- Tae Soo. - Are you going home?
Yes.
Not with Soo In?
She's meeting someone.
- Is she? - Yes.
When do you leave work?
I'll leave as soon as I finish cleaning up the warehouse.
I see.
Shall we have a drink, then? It's been a while.
Let's.
Why did you want to talk?
Do we need a reason to talk? We're friends.
We used to be close growing up.
We still are, aren't we?
I guess we are.
So,
how long will you work at our factory for?
What? What do you mean?
To be honest, I thought you'd start college last year.
Have you given up?
No. I will go.
Will you?
When will you get married?
Why are you asking me that?
We reached that age where...
we should be thinking about marriage.
That's why I asked.
Oh. Are you seeing anyone?
No.
Really?
Hey, that's a pretty necklace.
Was it a gift?
What?
No.
It looks like a man gave it to you.
Who bought it for you?
It's not from a man. My mom bought it for me.
Did she?
Are you close to Mr. Choi?
What do you mean?
What could it mean?
You work together in a small office all day. You must be close.
Aren't you?
Well, sort of.
Don't you think Mr. Choi is cold and aloof?
You're my friend and I'm worried for you.
Does he mistreat you or belittle you?
He's not like that. He's kind and warm-hearted.
He helps me a lot.
He's not how he looks.
I see.
Drink your coffee before it gets cold.
Cold coffee tastes horrible.
Did you introduce Soo In to your family?
Yes.
Already?
What did your mom say? Is she pleased?
Yes, she was.
She thinks Soo In's pretty and sweet.
She is.
Are Jeong Shik and your sisters pleased too?
Yes.
What is it? Is something wrong?
Well...
Actually, Jeong Shik doesn't like Soo In.
Why not?
He thinks I'm the greatest person in the world.
I think he was disappointed that I'm dating Soo In.
I'm going to Seoul for work tomorrow so I'll meet up with Jeong Shik.
Talk some sense into him.
It's because he doesn't know what Soo In's like.
Talk to him.
I will.
Let's drink.
I soldered the whole day and made less than the price of a pot.
- You're home. - Yes.
It must be hard doing something new. Do you have any aches?
My whole body aches.
Sitting in a crouched position all day really hurts your body.
That sounds terrible.
I'll get you a hot compress.
No, forget it. I don't need a hot compress.
You must be tired as well. Get some rest.
You're late.
Why are you here?
I was waiting for you, of course.
For me? Why?
Do you really not know?
Thanks for the food.
But don't bring anymore ever again.
I'll wash the boxes and return them.
Do you think I waited to get the boxes back?
Did you think about what I said?
If you won't give an answer, I'll make my own conclusion.
Can I?
Se Young. Are you bored?
What do you mean?
Are you toying with me for fun?
I told you not to do that.
I told you I'm serious.
Don't do this. I like someone else.
I don't care.
What do you mean by that?
I don't care if you like someone or not.
I can't get through to you.
Hey. Are you always so selfish and arrogant?
It's late. Go back home.
I will do anything it takes to make you like me.
Wait and see. I'll do whatever it takes...
to make him like me.
Yoon Soo In.
I won't lose him to you.
How can I trust someone who can't even get the paperwork right?
Don't do this. Go away.
- Sir, please. - Let go of me!
(License for Food Manufacture)
He can never see this.
Tae Soo. You're back late.
Yes.
Did you have a drink?
A bit.
With Jeong Wook.
Oh, did you?
Well...
Do you have something to say?
No. You must be tired. Go and get some rest.
I'll be frank.
Break up with my brother.
People used to call him a child genius.
He was always first in his year...
and entered college at the top of his class.
Do you think you suit him?
You're just a clerk.
I shouldn't belittle anyone's job,
but I'm just saying he's out of your league.
Soo In had no idea that...
her future with Jeong Wook...
would be obstructed by such a large obstacle.
Soo In had never felt so small...
and useless as this before.
And so the longest...
and most painful night since she met Jeong Wook passes by.
- Man Pyo. - Yes?
Did you tell my employees that you will be the new manager?
I told them because they'll find out sooner or later anyway. Why?
Who said I'd make you factory manager?
- What? - Honey.
You're hiring a new manager.
Weren't you going to give that job to him?
That's a very important position.
I can't hire Man Pyo when he knows nothing.
- Jae Man. - Man Pyo.
You said you would learn the ropes.
- Yes, I did. - Then...
you must start with the basics.
I will put Mr. Ko in charge of your training.
I must work for Mr. Ko?
Honey.
Jae Man, this is ridiculous. You can't do this to me.
Are you going to Seoul now?
Yes. I'll leave right away.
Okay. Stay safe.
East Seoul Groceries' CEO's wife is in hospital.
Could you take her some flowers?
I'll drop by on my way.
No, the hospital's in the opposite direction of where you're headed.
You'll have to make a detour.
I'll send Ms. Yoon instead.
You can drop her off on the way.
Yes, sir.
Take care. Stay safe.
Hi, Se Young.
Where are they going?
To Seoul to run some errands for your father.
What?
What's wrong? You scared me.
Dad. Dad.
What's wrong, Se Young?
Did you send Mr. Choi and Soo In to Seoul?
Yes. Mr. Choi's meeting a client...
and Ms. Yoon will visit someone in hospital.
Why?
You can't send them off together.
What are you talking about? Why can't they be together?
What's wrong with you?
Nothing. I'm sorry.
Gosh.
See you at 11:30 at Namdaemun.
A bus will take you straight to the hospital. Can you manage?
Yes. Don't worry about me.
- Okay. See you later. - Bye.
Drive safely.
What a bother.
Dad's so clueless.
(Midosa Tailor)
(Tailored Suits)
Where do you work now?
At Midosa.
Are you looking for someone?
Could you get Choi Jeong Shik for me, if he's in?
Jeong Shik, someone's here to see you.
Who?
It's a young lady.
Is it Jeong Hee?
(Midosa)
Take this. Jeong Wook said he'd pay me back.
I thought we'd had an agreement.
Are you usually this clingy?
Is this how you nabbed Jeong Wook?
Watch what you say.
Are you thick-skulled or just plain stupid?
You didn't get what I said yesterday, so I'll say it again.
Break up with Jeong Wook.
Don't think you can use his debt to keep him.
Jeong Shik!
How dare you.
Jeong Wook!
We should think again about our relationship.
Soo In, what's wrong? Don't do this.
Do you think I put you through college for this?
Why won't you go on a blind date?
I heard you're going on a blind date.
I won't. I like you.
Mr. Ko, I want you to teach my brother-in-law.
See you at Renaissance at 7pm.
