Last night a thief broke in.
We lost 50 of these.
Find them as soon as possible.
Okay. We'll try, but don't get your hopes up.
This happens often in Dongdaemun and the thief's very seldom caught.
Please try.
Our business will suffer unless we get them back.
I understand.
Do you suspect any of your employees?
I'm not sure.
I will ask if they know anything while you investigate.
Very well. Goodbye.
This is Seonil Sewers.
There's a problem with the clothes we meant to deliver today.
Could you extend the deadline?
You can't say that so soon after I trusted you.
No. I want the clothes before noon, as we promised.
Hello? Sir? Sir!
Mr. Lee.
I told you to lock up before you leave.
Taeyoung wants the uniforms. What now?
I apologize.
Do you think apologizing will solve anything?
How did it go, sir?
Taeyoung won't give us an extension.
Leave everything else and make 50 more.
We can't do that. It's a complicated order.
Things will get worse if we miss other orders just to fill this one.
What should we do?
I'll go to Taeyoung to explain the situation.
We'll get an extension and then...
Kyung Hee and I will ask around.
It won't be that easy.
Even the police don't expect much.
We'll try anyway. We'll leave right now.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I only just gave you a job and look what happened.
I'm really sorry. If you can give us more time,
I'll do what I can to bring you the clothes.
Bring them to me by 6pm today.
I can't give you any more time.
6pm?
Okay, sir. Thank you so much.
How did it go?
I got us until 6pm today.
Could we ask if any other factories can share the work?
I already tried.
They're all backlogged and can't help.
Really? Then let's ask around and see if ours are for sale.
Ma'am, did you see someone selling these?
No, I haven't.
Have you seen these before?
No.
Please have a proper look. Have you seen it before?
I'm busy. If you aren't here to buy, go away.
Jeong Wook.
Did you forget something?
Yes.
My class ends early today. Let's get something to eat after.
I'm not free. I have to work late today.
Come on. If it's not urgent, leave it until tomorrow...
and let's go and have fun.
"Go and have fun"?
Do you think I have time to kill?
What? That's not what I mean.
Why did you take it like that?
I have to go.
Jeong Wook.
Were you both upstairs?
I'm off to work.
Why didn't you greet him back?
It's all because of you. He's angry and it's your fault.
What? Why is he angry?
What right does he have?
I said the house was my idea.
You asked him if it was his. Of course he'd be angry.
What will you do now?
If that upset him, he can talk to me, not vent at you.
It's all your fault. Do something about it.
How dare you...
What's this about? Did Mr. Choi ask you to buy a house?
Yes. Se Young says it's her idea,
but how are we to know whose it is?
That is unbelievable. I had to grovel to get 30 dollars...
from you and he wants a house?
In Seoul? My goodness.
Will you buy him one?
Why would I do that? Go to work...
before you make me feel worse.
Gosh, he's got some guts.
Is Dae Bong still in?
Dae Bong. Dae Bong.
Is he still asleep?
Dae Bong. Dae Bong, are you still asleep?
Dae Bong.
Dae Bong. Wake up.
What's all this noise?
Ms. Lee, why did you wake me at the crack of dawn?
Dawn? It's passed 10am.
Don't you have to go to work?
What? 10am?
Oh, no. What should I do?
- Oh, dear. - Man Pyo.
- Good morning. - Where's Mr. Ko?
I need to discuss our output.
He isn't here yet.
What? Why isn't he at work yet?
I have no idea. He's been out or sorts lately.
Goodness.
Mr. Jung. I'm sorry I'm late.
What happened? You've never been late for work.
Are you sick?
Mr. Ko, did you have a drink?
Pardon?
Yes. I apologize.
Don't you know it's salt day today?
You're right. It's salt delivery day.
What's going on?
The warehouse is a mess too.
Sorry about that. I'll clean everything up.
Work overtime if you must.
We got an additional order from East Incheon Groceries.
Double the output today.
Yes, sir.
Oh, dear.
What happened?
Why didn't you wake me as you left?
I left at dawn to make a delivery.
Is something wrong?
No. Nothing's wrong.
Working late means I won't get to see Kkot Nim.
That's bad.
Hello.
How do you feel?
Fine. A bit stifled but otherwise fine.
Are you eating well? Hospital food is never tasty.
It can't be helped. They won't let me eat anything else.
Is there anything you want to eat?
Let's eat when you're discharged.
Then...
shall we go to Haeju for some bibimbap?
Are you missing home again?
I always miss the place.
I can't go back unless Korea is unified before I die.
Where is Secretary Kim?
He left to take care of some personal business.
He'll be back soon.
Why did you ask to see me today, Mr. Jung?
I will be honest.
About what?
As you saw when you visited my factory,
I have a daughter.
I would like her to marry Madam Cho's grandson.
I see. That's what you're after.
That's why I need your help.
I'm not sure if I can help you.
I can tell you about Madam Cho's plans,
but I don't know much else.
This is my gift to you.
Mr. Jung.
What kind of girl does Madam Cho like,
and what does her grandson think?
If he's seeing someone, who is it?
I would like to know all there is to know about her grandson.
Please help me.
Were you out?
Yes, on some personal business.
I see. Go on inside. My grandmother's alone.
- Seon Woo. - Yes?
It's none of my business, but Madam Cho...
is very concerned about your settling down.
Are you dating anyone at the moment?
Why?
Did my grandmother tell you to pry?
What? No, of course not.
You're very right. It's none of your business.
Right. I apologize.
Hello.
- I'm back, madam. - I see that.
Is everything taken care of?
Yes.
What's that you're carrying?
This?
My son's birthday is coming up. I got him a present.
I see. Is he thriving?
Yes, thank you.
Did you not say you would set up Seon Woo with...
Chairman Kim's granddaughter?
I did. Why do you ask?
I was curious as to when the blind date would be.
The sooner the better it would be for me, but Seon Woo...
doesn't seem to want to get married.
It might be later than I hope.
I see.
I hope he meets a nice young lady and settles down soon.
I hope so.
I should tell Dal Ja that I saw her, right?
No, the news would shock her.
Even I'm so shocked.
No, but I should still tell.
I don't know. What should I do?
Ms. Oh, I'm here. What are you thinking about?
- Hi, Dal Ja. - Hi.
Why did you want to see me?
Well...
I actually found out who Kkot Nim is.
Did you? Who is she?
She's... Lean in closer.
No way. Dae Bong wouldn't go there.
I saw with my own two eyes.
I'm so disappointed in Dae Bong.
The innocent man fell for her not knowing who she really is.
I don't think so.
This won't do. Ms. Oh, lead the way.
What? Lead the way where?
I'll tell the evil witch to...
stay away from poor Dae Bong.
Do you want me to come with you?
Of course. You know where she works.
Get up and take me there.
Oh, no...
Who are you?
Who is Kkot Nim?
I'm Kkot Nim. Who are you?
That's her. That's the one.
Are you the witch who's toying with Dae Bong?
How dare you abuse an innocent man!
What? I toyed with him? Who...
Dae Bong?
Dear Dae Bong?
What? "Dear Dae Bong"?
Dal Ja, that necklace, that's what he got for her.
Am I right? Was that from Dae Bong?
It was.
- There. - My goodness.
What did you just do? Who are you?
You can't do this at my workplace.
Me? I'm Dae Bong's wife!
That's a lie. He's married to someone like you?
No. You could be his wife.
That explains why he fell so hard for me.
What? Is that all you can say?
Yes, that is all I can say.
Give the necklace back!
I won't!
- Give it back! - No!
- Let go! - You first!
- Let go of me! - I'll kill you first.
Going around luring innocent men...
I'll make you pay!
Let go of me.
- Let go. - No!
My hair!
I'll kill you.
Look at the state of me.
I shouldn't have gotten involved in a lovers' quarrel.
How could someone so thin be so strong?
That witch. No wonder Dae Bong fell for her.
I don't think so. I think he knew exactly what she was.
I think you should give up.
Just let go.
No. I can't let go.
I will save poor Dae Bong.
What should I do with you? I think you should give up.
No. I must save Dae Bong.
I will save him.
Mr. Choi. I heard all about it.
You shouldn't be like that.
What? What are you talking about?
You asked for a house in Seoul.
That's wrong on so many levels.
You're mistaken. I never asked such a thing.
My sister is really angry.
She accepted you when you aren't what she wanted for a son-in-law.
You shouldn't overstep your boundaries.
I never did. Believe me.
You know that other than Se Young, my sister was the only one...
who rooted for you. But if you make one wrong move,
it can make me and her turn against you.
Don't you dare say anything like that again, okay?
Jerk.
Did your son-in-law buy you a house?
It's nothing really. He bought me a small house in Jongno.
Others would buy a house to welcome a prosecutor son-in-law.
You're so lucky.
Sook Hee, why didn't you invite us to Se Young's engagement?
You know how my husband hates to show off.
It was a family affair.
Se Young chose him over a congressman's son.
I can't wait to find out what the young man's like.
What does his father do?
His family's from Pocheon.
You can't walk through the town without stepping on his land.
You wouldn't know anything about the small town.
That's not what I heard.
I heard the man's family is dirt poor.
Said who?
Isn't that why he moved in with you?
A rich family from Pocheon?
Why would a man with that background move in with you?
Right. Jeong Sook has a point.
That's because Se Young's our only child.
He decided to move in for our sake.
Se Young's fiance works at your factory.
Why would a rich man work at his in-law's factory?
Ms. Hong.
Did you have lunch?
Why do you care where I was and what I did?
Go back to work.
Have you seen this jacket before?
Hang on.
Have you seen it before?
Someone came by to sell some this morning.
I liked the design and sewing and said I'd buy,
but the person refused.
- Who was it? - I wouldn't know.
Can you describe the person as best you can?
It was a little girl who looked about 16 or 17.
A little girl?
Did she have a bandage around one of her fingers?
A bandage?
She did. I think it was around her left thumb.
Did you really lock up properly last night?
I don't know.
If I had locked up well, we wouldn't have been robbed.
No. You locked up properly.
Soo In, you're coming with me.
Where to?
I think I know what happened. Come with me.
Whose house is this?
Soon Young's.
What? Do you really think Soon Young stole the clothes?
Why?
She has a key to the factory.
- She does? - Yes.
She left in a hurry and didn't give it back.
I should've gotten it back, but I was too distracted.
The second we heard it was a girl,
I thought of her.
Could it really be her? It might not be.
You heard what the lady said.
The girl had a bandaged finger.
Soon Young.
Soo In.
Soon Young.
I'm really sorry.
Why did you do this?
I hadn't been paid in months when I left the factory.
I couldn't afford the medical bills or food.
I had no choice.
My whole family's suffering.
So I just...
Even so. How could you do such a thing?
I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry.
Don't cry. We got the clothes back, so everything's fine now.
It's not fine.
Do you know what Soo In went through because of you?
The other girls are so worried. Do you know that?
I'm sorry.
I'll take the jackets to Taeyoung Manufacturing.
Kyung Hee, tell Mr. Lee that we found them.
Finding the clothes doesn't cancel out the theft.
Could you forgive Soon Young this once?
She regrets what she did and shows remorse.
So you want to pretend it didn't happen?
I think you are partially responsible.
How so?
If you had monitored the factory manager,
he wouldn't have fired Soon Young the way he did, without pay,
and she wouldn't have had to steal from us.
She's the breadwinner of a large family.
She did this to support them.
Could you please forgive her?
What will you do if this happens again?
Then...
I will take responsibility.
You will?
Yes. Soon Young will not do this again.
I believe her.
Mr. Bang, where should I put these?
Do you still not know what goes where?
No, not this corner. They go in that corner.
I can't stand this.
- What? - Mr. Bang.
This isn't working.
This arrangement could ruin our friendship.
I quit.
- You quit? - Yes.
I know why you hired me and I'm grateful for it.
But I can't stand doing more harm than good.
I'll go back to soldering.
Are you sure?
Yes. It's getting warmer now anyway.
Let's do our own thing and meet up for drinks instead.
Okay. To be honest, I was worried...
our friendship was going downhill.
I know. Friends before work, right?
Shall we have a drink later on?
Sure, I'll buy.
Okay.
I'm back.
Is school over? Did you eat something?
If not, I'll get you some soup.
I'm fine. I'm not hungry yet.
Why did you come here, then?
Mom, I'm entering the spring picnic's talent show.
A talent show?
Yes. One student from each class gets to sing.
I got to represent my class.
Really?
You were a great singer even when you were tiny.
Do you know what to sing?
Of course I've picked a song.
Do you want to hear it?
I ordered a cup of coffee.
And I sit here waiting for you.
For some reason, you are not coming.
You are making me uneasy.
Eight minutes go.
You've been in a bad mood all day.
Is it about Jeong Wook?
I hate him so much I can't stand it.
I accepted him because Se Young begged me to,
but now that he moved in with us, everything about him displeases me.
My friends say their sons-in-law got them a house or a car.
I have nothing to brag about.
He's the eldest of seven kids and they're all dirt poor.
All they want is to leech off us at every turn.
If only it hadn't been for Se Young...
What can you do now? Will you cancel the engagement?
I would love to if only I could.
My friends benefit from their sons-in-law while I...
Why did the silly girl have to fall for someone like Jeong Wook?
I can't stand it.
I'm home.
Hello.
I'll go right upstairs.
Sure.
Did he overhear you?
I don't know and don't care.
I'll say what I want in my home.
He can't have heard.
You're home.
You can't come into my room like this.
What if your father sees you like last time?
I just...
I was worried you'd be tired from working so late.
We have to be careful. The more you do this, the more I suffer.
Is it that wrong for me to be worried about you?
What did I do to make you suffer?
I'm always apologizing and you're always shouting.
Se Young.
You're always angry. You don't care how I feel.
Let's not do this here. Let's go outside.
Se Young, I'm sorry.
I really didn't mean to get you in trouble.
Yes, and I know that.
Then why did you shout?
I know you meant well, but it was too much for me.
What do you mean?
What's giving you so much trouble?
Your parents reluctantly accepted me...
because of you, for you.
I know they think I'm not good enough...
and I still moved into your house.
It's so much harder than I thought it would be.
I'm sorry, Jeong Wook. I said something I shouldn't have...
and got you in trouble.
Se Young, let's be a little more careful from now on.
Okay. I'll be careful.
I won't cause you any trouble.
Thanks for understanding.
(Seonil Sewers)
- Good morning. - Hello.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
Don't apologize. Thank you for giving Soon Young her job back.
You helped me at every turn and I doubted you instead of thanking you.
I want to buy you dinner to apologize.
No, you don't have to.
I want to. Think of something to eat.
You're the best at sewing zippers.
I'm not.
You are. Do you know how much trouble the others had...
with the silly zippers?
- Are you going somewhere? - The bank.
How are you?
I'm great. I owe this to you.
Thank you so much.
Don't thank me. I'm so glad you can work here again.
I'll get some tteokbokki and snacks on the way back.
Work hard.
- Okay, we will. - Thank you.
- Thanks, Soo In. - Thank you.
See you.
I'm off to class.
Mom, are you still upset?
I said I'm sorry.
Do you know what you did wrong?
I said something silly and made you and Jeong Wook feel bad.
Will you stop upsetting me?
Can't you be nicer to Jeong Wook?
He's having a hard time...
getting used to living with us.
Did he say that?
Of course it must be hard.
So be nice to him for my sake.
What else can a mother-in-law do?
Okay, I'll be nice. Go to class.
You're the best. I'm off.
Love him or hate him, he's my son-in-law.
I have to be nice for my daughter's sake.
Oh, well.
Can't he put anything away after he's done?
(Incheon Photo Studio)
What are these?
Photos with Se Young?
What's this?
Isn't this Soo In with him?
Were you born in Seoul?
Kyung Hee said you did well in school.
Why work at a factory?
You have many secrets.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Aren't you Mr. Jang?
How could this be?
Did you meet Soo In behind Se Young's back?
