(Episode 44)
- Soo In. - Are you okay?
Are you all right?
Eun Joo, I need to take her to a hospital.
Here's the money. Eat something really nice.
- Just us? - Yes, now go.
Let's get you to a hospital. Can you walk?
Really?
He had always been so healthy. I thought he would recover.
Yes. I will visit you tomorrow.
No, no, of course I should come over.
You must be having a hard time because of your father.
Yes. I will see you tomorrow. Goodbye.
Welcome home. Come and sit down.
How are things at the factory?
Pretty well.
Well? How do you mean things are going pretty well?
Will you not tell me?
We got a new client and new orders.
It can't have been easy. How did you manage that?
I didn't do much, really. One of the girls helped.
One of the girls?
Yes.
I'm glad it all worked out. You're blessed with good company.
Management is partially about your capabilities,
but who you work with is also important.
You're managing people.
If you want to manage a big company, you'll have to learn...
how to select people and manage them.
I'm tired. I'll go upstairs.
Yes. Get some rest.
Son.
If he's anything like you, he'll do just fine.
I believe he will do well.
Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?
Yes. My stomach only hurt for a while.
But still, what if there's something wrong?
I'll be fine. I went to a bookstore to read up on it...
and there can be sharp pains in the early stages.
That doesn't mean something's wrong, so don't worry.
Are you sure? Than that's a relief.
I'm sorry you didn't get anything to eat because of me.
Food was the least of my worries then.
I think you were too stressed out about what had happened.
Be more careful and don't overwork yourself.
I'll do that. I'll be more careful.
It's late. Why didn't you go home?
I was checking a few things prior to Chungil Flour's visit.
I see. Is everything ready?
Yes. We renewed our Clean Water Licence.
I just have to finish up the paperwork they requested.
What about the hygiene?
Staff uniforms, storage,
and equipment, everything's clean.
Even if you were thorough, you could have missed something.
Check everything again.
Yes, sir. I will again tomorrow.
There was talk our noodles aren't as good because of the bad flour.
We need this deal to recover our reputation.
Everyone knows that Chungil Flour is the best quality.
We're already getting calls from companies that heard...
we might be signing a deal.
Really? Good. Keep up the good work.
Hi there, Tae Soo.
You're all about looking cool, aren't you, Tae Soo?
Are you drunk again?
Yes, I had a few.
Is something going on?
With me? You bet something huge is going on.
Spring has come at last to my life.
Why are you always going out at night?
I know...
why you're always out at night.
Are you seeing a lady friend?
I'm not.
I bet you are. I know how that feels.
The manly love that's burning you up inside.
You should go to bed.
Why does he never say what he's up to?
Kkot Nim.
I just saw you and I miss you already.
I think I should keep you in my eyeballs.
While we get the goods, you have to keep those guys at bay.
There are more than I thought.
If I'd known, I'd have brought more men.
Can you take them on alone?
Do you need help?
No.
Guys, let's go.
Who are you?
We're here for the goods you smuggled in.
We're the handsome bunch.
What?
Everything that's smuggled into Incheon automatically becomes ours.
Let's not fight and shed blood.
Be good and hand them over.
Says who?
Hey, that's enough. Let's go.
Who's there?
Who are you?
Tae Soo?
Tae Soo. What's going on?
Keep quiet.
What's going on? What happened?
Just go home.
How can I just go home when you're like this?
Let's go to a hospital.
I said go.
Did you get hurt while working for Mr. Jung?
Am I right? Did he call you to tell you to do this?
You don't need to know.
Tae Soo.
You're moving into his house, aren't you?
Be careful.
What do you mean I should be careful?
Don't think you know everything about Mr. Jung.
Don't try to find out what he's like...
and what he does.
Whatever you know now,
it's best you feign ignorance.
Mr. Jung is capable of doing absolutely anything.
Why are you doing such things for him?
I want to rest.
Go home.
Don't think you know everything about Mr. Jung.
Don't try to find out what he's like...
and what he does.
Whatever you know now, it's best you feign ignorance.
Mr. Jung is capable of doing absolutely anything.

(Taesan Noodles)
Mr. Ko, where did you go after work yesterday?
Why ask?
I wanted to have a drink and I couldn't find you.
Did you...
go there again?
No.
Where am I talking about?
You walked into that one. So you did go there.
You really need to be careful.
So many people spend all their savings there.
I didn't go there, okay? Don't talk like I did.
Where were you, then?
That's my privacy.
Stop asking and hang out the noodles.
He's in the deep end. That's dangerous.
He's in real danger.
Dal Ja, why are you so down? Is something wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
Did something happen between you and Dae Bong?
What? What about me and Dae Bong?
Ms. Oh told me that you're dating.
I told her to keep it a secret.
It's fine. Dae Bong's a nice man. I wish you two the best of luck.
Did you two have a fight?
I actually wish we had a fight.
What do you mean?
It's nothing. I'll get the broth going.
I haven't been to Incheon in a while.
Is the person you're visiting close to your late son?
When my son started Chungil Flour...
this person was a lot of help.
He was so healthy and now they say...
he might not last the weekend.
We have to go to Jemulpo,
so let's go to the noodle factory and drop by on the way back.
Sure. I'm glad that Seon Woo managed to...
sort out the sewing factory disaster.
I honestly thought he wouldn't manage.
I think he got lucky this time.
You say that, but I know you're proud and pleased.
His father helped from up above.
What happens now is more important.
Once was luck but what happens next is all up to him.
He should keep doing well.
He will do fine.
Yes, he should. He has to take over Chungil Flour.
The weather's lovely today.
(Taesan Industries, Taesan Noodles)
Hello, Mr. Choi. How have you been?
I'm well. Thanks for making the trip.
This is my CEO.
Hello. I'm Jung Jae Man.
Hello. My name is Cho Geum Rye.
I expected you to send an employee,
but you came in person.
I had some other business in the area.
I hope my barging in isn't too much of an inconvenience.
It's not, ma'am. To have the chairperson visit in person...
is a great honor.
Please come into my office.
If you don't mind, could I look around the factory first?
I don't have that much time and would like to get to business.
Of course. You can do whatever you wish.
Thank you.
- Dad. - Se Young.
Ma'am, this is my daughter.
She's Cho Geum Rye, the chairperson of Chungil Flour.
Hello, I'm Jung Se Young.
Nice to meet you. You have a beautiful daughter.
Thanks for saying so.
Goodbye, then.
- I'm off to class. - See you later.
Ma'am, I'll show you around.
The quality of noodles hinges on flour and salt.
We use good flour and local bay salt or sun-dried salt.
The flour, salt, and water is mixed...
to make the dough and turned into noodles.
They're cutting the dried noodles.
Let's move on.
The noodles are weighed and packed.
- Hello. - Hello.
Keep it up.
Sure.
What's equally important as using good ingredients...
is the drying process.
- Is it? - Yes.
Noodles that aren't dried properly end up with the wrong texture.
When it's cloudy or rainy,
we use the drying room.
The warehouse over there is where we keep our inventory.
I'll show you.
- Hello. - Keep it up.
Sure.
You have a nice factory.
The machinery's well-kept and clean.
Thanks for the compliment.
Shall we sign the contracts next week?
That would work.
I'll send someone over next week.
Okay.
I'm pleased to do business with such a nice factory.
I heard that you do a lot of things for the community.
That's embarrassing.
The rumors will be exaggerated.
No. Anyone can say they want to help others,
but it's not easy to actually do it.
I can't say I want to do a lot of good, but instead of...
being greedy, I hope my noodles will feed the hungry.
I'm just doing my best.
Gosh, you're humble as well.
I think I see why your employees respect you.
You seem to get a lot of orders.
Isn't it hard, managing the factory on your own?
It does get tough at times.
If I had a son, I'd teach him so he'd take over one day,
but I only have that one daughter.
Do you?
Then you'll have to leave the factory to your son-in-law.
Maybe.
I bet a lot of families would want to be your in-laws.
I have a grandson...
and I'm worried that he doesn't care much about marriage.
Do you have a grandson?
Yes.
Dal Ja.
Hi.
You're so deep in thought you didn't see me coming in?
Are you thinking of Dae Bong?
As if.
Right. Why did you tell Soon Ok about Dae Bong?
I told you not to tell anyone.
I told them so they could help you.
You need to tell more people about this.
That way you'll get together.
How can we get together when Dae Bong's not interested?
We don't know yet if he's seeing someone else.
I will find out for you today, so bear with me.
Ms. Oh.
Are you sure? I trust you. Thank you.
(Taesan Industries)
See you all tomorrow. Bye.
- Bye. - Goodbye.
- Bye. - Where are you going?
This isn't the way home. Where is he going?
That hurt.
Where did he go?
Where did he get to?
Where is he?
- Ms. Oh. - My goodness.
Goodness gracious. Dae Bong.
Why are you following me?
How did you know?
I could feel the hair on the back stand.
What are you wearing on your head?
Why are you following me? There must be a reason.
Is it about...
Yes. I wanted to find out who you're seeing.
I wouldn't have to do this if you just told me.
Who is it?
I told you to stay out.
If you follow me once more, I will do something about it.
That was so close.
What should I do?
You memorized all the cloth, so now memorize the prices.
Even if everything's written down, it's easier if you memorize it.
The customers prefer it.
I used to own a stall myself. Do you think I don't know that?
Okay. Start memorizing.
Sure.
Hi, Ms. Oh.
Why are you here? Do you need fabric?
I was just passing by.
Were you? I thought you were here to boost our sales or something.
Are you disappointed?
Am I not allowed in here unless I buy something?
Of course not.
Have a look at the new materials.
Ms. Oh, why are you lashing out?
- Is something wrong? - Dong Chul.
Isn't Dal Ja your only sibling?
She is.
Your only sister is still living alone.
Aren't you worried about her?
What? Why are you suddenly talking about such nonsense?
You should show her more interest.
I don't know where to start.
Did you ask for me?
Help me with this.
The factory manager made such a mess...
there's so much to do.
I worked in factories my whole life, sir.
I don't know how to balance accounts or calculate.
Really? What should I do then?
I need to calculate how much tax to pay...
and get on top of the finances.
Shall I ask Soo In?
Soo In?
Soo In, the CEO wants to see you.
Me?
Soo In, you used to be a clerk.
Pardon?
- Yes. - For how long?
A year and a half.
Why do you ask?
I need your help.
The factory manager messed things up.
I need to start over and I can't do it alone.
Can you help?
Sure.
If you were a clerk, do you know how to do the taxes?
Yes.
Great. I have a meeting with some of our clients.
Could you organize the books for me?
I doubt I'll come back today.
Go home when it's time.
- Okay. See you. - Get to it, then.
What do you want?
Here's some medicine. If you didn't see a doctor, take this.
I'll leave it here. Take it.
Jeong Wook.
Thanks.
I know you're disappointed in me.
I won't ask you to understand, but...
we're still friends and that hasn't changed.
See you.
You're home.
Dal Ja, I told you not to barge into my room like that.
Sorry, I couldn't wait.
Well? Did you see her?
I didn't.
Why not? You followed him, didn't you?
I did, but he caught me at it.
How did that happen? How bad were you?
I thought Dae Bong was slow, but he's quick to notice things.
We need a better plan next time.
I'm not sure I can trust you.
Maybe I should follow him.
You can't hide that body of yours.
I'm slim enough to hide behind lamp posts. Are you?
Ms. Oh, is that all you can say?
What I meant was...
Wait. Did you just yell at me?
Don't you see what I'm going through for you?
I did not yell.
Why would I yell at you?
You almost hurt my feelings.
I'm sorry. Don't let something like this get to you.
You don't hold grudges.
I won't get caught when I follow him next time.
I'll wear trainers, not high heels next time.
Find out who he's seeing. I'll buy you some trainers.
It's best to make a paper cut out the sleeve...
and use it to draw on the fabric.
Can't I draw directly on the fabric?
I don't like doing the same thing twice.
This way you get an accurate shape.
If you don't, you waste fabric and it won't be the right size.
It's a hassle at first, but you'll get used to it later on.
Okay.
Here you go.
That's it. You're good at this.
When you cut around this line over here,
leave a little extra space since you'll need to backstitch that part.
Okay. Like this?
Yes.
Curved areas need extra space as well.
Okay.
That's it. You're good.
Well done.
- It's fun. - Is it?
What do you think? Do you like the room?
Yes. I see Ms. Hong took a lot of care.
"Ms. Hong"? You can't call her that now.
It's "Mother" now.
I'm not used to saying that.
- I'll get used to it soon. - Okay.
What are you doing?
I'm doing what I want because I like you.
What if someone sees us?
Who would? Everyone's downstairs.
Who cares if they see?
We're engaged now.
We aren't married yet.
Let's be careful until we are.
Nothing good will come from upsetting the adults.
I could get into trouble as well.
Okay. I'll be careful.
Guess what.
Now it really feels like you're mine.
What do you mean?
Now that you moved in,
I feel like we're really together and I'm more at ease.
I guess I just felt uneasy about everything.
You don't have to now. I am yours.
You can love only me until you die, okay?
Okay.
This is your first night here.
I hope you sleep well.
I will. I hope you sleep well too.
Go downstairs.
I really don't want to.
You said you'd be careful. Go downstairs.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay. Sleep well.
- Why are you smiling? - I'm happy.
I missed you so much all night.
Seeing you in my house with my mother and siblings...
made it feel like you're really mine.
From now on, I'll be good to you.
I won't ever break your heart.
I can't live without you.
If you love me, I can become anything.
If you leave me, I can't become anything.
Please don't leave me.
Your being with me is the best thing you can do.
Are you newlyweds?
Yes, we are. Do we look good together?
Yes, you're a lovely couple.
The tears of longing that Soo In had...
pushed back finally burst through.
At one time, the memories alone caused too much pain,
but now those memories give her the strength to go on.
The day will come when Soo In will resolve the misunderstanding.
That is what gives Soo In the reason to go on.
