Hello. I'm Kim Seon Woo.
I'm Choi Jeong Wook.
Seon Woo will be taking over Chungil Flour.
He might need a lot of your help.
I will be needing his.
I hope we get along.
Mr. Choi, you can get back to work.
- Run the errand tomorrow. - Yes, sir.
- Madam, come inside. - Thank you.
You can stop bringing us things to eat.
I see that we're bothering you.
Not at all, madam.
It's a pity I can't serve you dinner because you already have plans.
You're right. I will treat you to a meal one day.
I don't see your daughter today.
She is at college.
Oh, I see.
You haven't met her yet, have you?
She studies at a college in Seoul...
and today of all days, she's coming home late.
I see.
I'm sure Seon Woo and your daughter will meet some other time.
Mr. Jung, what do your customers think of our flour?
They love it. The quality of the noodles is outstanding.
They taste better too.
Thanks to you, our business expanded.
Is that true? That's good news.
I can't get over how tall and handsome Seon Woo is.
Do you think?
My husband told me that he runs a factory as well.
Seon Woo.
I apologize. What did you say?
I said that you're quite handsome.
I see. Thank you very much.
Mr. Choi, what's wrong? You look upset.
- What? - You don't look too well.
I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me.
I'll leave you, then.
Get back safely.
Goodbye.
- Let's go back inside. - Okay.
You were so rude at Mr. Jung's earlier.
You got distracted right in the middle of a conversation.
You even missed a question.
I apologize.
Is something bothering you?
Or is there a problem at the factory?
No, everything's fine.
Then why are you acting like this?
You look like you have a serious problem.
Visiting a grieving family made me feel a bit downcast.
Goodbye. Come again.
These are heavy. I'll take them.
No, sir, I can manage.
Let me take these to the kitchen. You can clean that table.
I should do this myself. Thank you, sir.
Don't thank me. Take things slowly and don't overwork yourself.
I will. Thank you.
Oh dear.
There's a lot to wash.
It's hard, isn't it?
Not really. I think I'm getting the hang of it.
Let me tell you something.
Beware of our boss.
What? What do you mean?
Just be careful around him. Remember what I said.
He seems like a really nice person.
Oh dear...
I'll get some groceries.
Just a moment. Take this to Dong Chul on the way.
What's this?
His junior from the army left it behind.
A junior from the army?
(Bae Choon Bok)
Seriously? His name is Bae Choon Bok?
That's hilarious.
You can't make fun about someone else's name.
It's funny.
But then my name isn't exactly common.
I'll give it to Dong Chul. Do you need anything, Young Sun?
I don't. Just get what I asked for earlier.
See you later.
- Thanks. - Bye.
See you.
Hello.
It's so pretty.
Will it suit me?
Where did she go? Where is she?
Hi, Sergeant Bae. Your pot's...
Sergeant Bae.
- Choon Bok. - Staff Sergeant Yoon.
What got into you? Did you see a ghost?
I didn't see a ghost. I saw someone out of this world.
The woman I'd been dreaming of.
Someone out of this world? She must be very pretty...
for you to say that.
She was incredibly pretty. Or rather, she was beautiful.
My goodness. You should get married and soon.
Get a grip and take your pot back.
- Thanks. - And this too.
Isn't this mine?
It is. You left it at the restaurant yesterday.
My sister brought it over.
That's where I'd left it.
I'd been looking for it all the while. Thank you.
You should've kept it close if it's that important.
- Be more careful. - I will.
You haven't eaten dinner yet, have you?
Do you want to eat at my restaurant again?
I'd love to but I have to be somewhere else this evening.
That's too bad.
- I'll see you soon. - Okay.
- Salute. - Salute.
- Go on. - Bye.
"Out of this world"?
Dinner's almost ready. Wait for the jjigae.
No, no, take your time.
Sook Hee, do you have some money?
Money? Why would I?
Do you have none at all?
Even if I had some, I wouldn't give you any.
You'll just spend it on drink.
Not this time.
I heard a great tip, you see.
You can stop talking such nonsense or get out.
Where's Jae Man?
Why do you ask?
He wasn't in his office.
Don't you dare ask him for money.
I will beat you up.
(Restaurant Rome)
How's the vote for the head of the chapter going?
The party believes and acts like you are already a member.
Thank you. It's all because you recommended me...
and put in a good word.
I will follow your lead, so please look out for me.
Of course I will.
Now that I turned you into a politician,
I will take full responsibility in the next general election...
so you get a badge like mine.
Thank you so much, sir.
Hello. I'm Kim Seon Woo.
I'm Choi Jeong Wook.
Are you okay, Jeong Wook? Why did you have so much to drink?
Se Young. Answer my question honestly.
Do you know the heir to Chungil Flour?
Chungil Flour's heir?
Chungil Flour? The person I met in the yard.
I met the chairperson but I don't know about an heir.
Why?
Do you really not know him?
I really don't.
Do you mean your father or mother didn't tell you anything?
About what?
What are you talking about, Jeong Wook?
Never mind.
You've been cryptic ever since yesterday.
Our school's hosting a festival and I need to bring a partner.
Free your schedule for next Friday.
I'll try. I hope I'll be able to spend time with you.
Why? Will you be busy?
It's our first festival together. You must be there.
Don't worry. I'll talk to my dad.
It's late. Go downstairs.
Your father will get angry if he were to see you up here.
It's okay. He's in bed.
Okay, I'll go downstairs.
Sleep well. See you tomorrow.
Be her partner to a festival?
Does she really not know anything then?
What can her parents do without her knowing?
What's your plan, Mr. Jung? How will you break us up...
when Se Young doesn't know a thing?
(Seonil Sewers)
We finished Inseongsa and Dorimsa's orders and will drop them off.
I see. Go ahead.
Did you try looking for Soo In?
Yes. I have people looking but it's not easy.
I asked them to keep looking. Let's give it time.
I'm sorry I asked for such a favor...
when you must be busy.
It's okay. I want to find her as much as you do.
Actually, I must find her.
You can go now.
Yes, sir.
Did you have any luck finding a helper?
I wasn't able to find someone suitable, so I'm still looking.
Okay. Even if it takes a while, find someone trustworthy.
Trying to replace a troublemaker could be even more work.
Yes, madam.
I'm meeting Mr. Kim for lunch today.
- Get my car. - I will.
Chungil Flour.
Mr. Kim, I was just about to give you a call.
That place nearby your office?
Yes, I know the place. I'll see you there.
- Hello, Mr. Kim. - Madam Cho.
- Sit down. - Thanks.
I trust that you're well.
I am. I hope you don't mind that I picked on the restaurant.
It was no trouble at all.
I enjoyed the food the last time you brought me here.
I'd always wanted to come back.
Shall we order?
I ordered two seolleongtang already.
Did you? Thank you.
I don't remember seeing you here. Are you a new girl?
- Yes. - You look quite pretty.
Sit down and have a drink.
What?
Let's see if it tastes any better when poured by a pretty lady.
Come and join us.
Don't do this. Let me go.
Sit next to me.
Please don't do this, sir.
Stop trying to act like you're so special and pour us a drink.
- Let go of me. - You two.
Shouldn't you just finish your meals...
instead of bothering a powerless young woman?
Madam.
Why are you butting in?
And when did we bother her?
You did just now. I saw it all.
What do you think you saw?
Who do you think you are? You can't just insult the innocent.
Stay out of our business, lady,
and get back to your own meal.
Stop it. Don't do this.
- You! Stay out of it! - You fools!
How dare you!
What are you doing working in this restaurant?
What about the factory?
I left a while ago due to personal reasons.
Personal reasons? Like what?
Did your boss throw you out?
No, he didn't.
I left for personal reasons.
I don't understand. What happened or came up...
that made you leave a factory job to work in a restaurant?
I apologize.
You don't owe me an apology.
The owner of the restaurant said you sleep and eat here.
Do you have nowhere else to stay in Seoul?
No.
Would you...
like to move into my house?
What?
What for?
It's not for free.
My live-in helper had to leave due to some personal reasons...
and I need someone to take over.
Could you move into my house and help with the housework?
I couldn't do that. No, I really can't.
Why not? Do you think my place will be worse than this?
It's not that.
I don't want to be a nuisance.
You living here like this is even more of a nuisance.
I owe you my life.
How do you think I feel seeing you here like this?
Jae Man, is it really true?
What is? Why are you so excited?
Is it true you'll represent our local chapter in politics?
I thought there was a disaster. It hasn't been confirmed yet.
The head of a local chapter?
That's a big deal.
It's the first step towards becoming a congressman.
You should've shared the great news with us right away.
I was going to once it was made official.
You'd be so disappointed if it didn't happen.
That will never happen ever.
Hang on, I shouldn't waste time.
I shall go and spread the great tidings.
- Man Pyo. - What?
Don't waste time chatting and get back to work.
Jae Man, great news like this must be spread.
Is that true? Mr. Jung will head our local chapter?
It's true. Why would I lie about such a thing?
I don't even have to tell you what a great man Jae Man is.
He's ideal for the job.
He does more good works than anyone.
He's finally being blessed.
You know three-time congressman Park Chang Seon.
He's the one who recommended my brother-in-law.
When will it be made official?
He said it's in two days, but unless there's an upheaval...
the position is as good as his.
Jae Man...
is cleaner than anyone.
Look all you want and you'll never find a flaw.
You're right. He's a great man...
and he did only good. The spirits up high, down low,
and we all know that.
Exactly. A politician must be skilled and capable,
but he must also be moral.
Who could be as upright as my brother-in-law?
- Don't you think? - You're right.
Come on now. A round of applause.
How great is this?
Tae Soo, I have a question. Answer me honestly.
What is it?
I asked you once before if Mr. Jung is working with a loan shark.
He is, isn't he? Tell me.
Is that your answer?
You didn't say a thing last time.
If Mr. Jung isn't a moneylender, you'd have said so.
Think what you want.
Please answer me. Just tell me if I'm right.
Is Mr. Jung in the money-lending business?
Tae Soo.
Please tell me. Please.
Only you can...
save me now.
Jeong Wook's been looking really rundown lately.
Do you think he has an troubles?
Why would he have any troubles?
He should be excited about the new house in Seoul.
Right, I forgot to tell his family about that.
I'll call them now.
Why do you want to tell them about it already?
Good news should be shared.
Tell them later. We aren't buying the house right away.
You can tell them once the contract's signed.
Do you think so? So, Mom. What kind of house will you buy?
Jeong Wook has a lot of siblings, so it will have to be big.
Okay. I'll tell your dad to buy a big house.
Let's get a nice one.
We only have one son-in-law.
Really? Thank you, Mom.
Come in.
Do you have papers for me to sign?
No. I heard the news about you.
You're heading our local chapter.
That? It's not yet confirmed.
You're the leading candidate. Congratulations.
I would like to buy you dinner to celebrate.
You don't have to. We can celebrate as a family.
I want to treat you. Also,
I have something to tell you.
You wish to talk?
Okay, then. Let's have dinner.
Dal Ja, the owner of the hanbok shop I used to work at...
as a relative who's still single.
If you aren't against it, would you like to meet him?
Me?
Someone offered to match you up.
Young Sun, does the man have a mole?
A mole?
I'm not sure. I haven't seen him myself.
Why do you ask?
Dal Ja needs to find a man with a large mole.
What do you mean?
I can't go into detail, but it's a fact.
Are you interested?
No, I can't be bothered.
Men are a nuisance.
Meet up with him just once.
You need to check if he has a mole.
Do you think? Should I meet up with him to check?
Yes. Meet the guy just once.
Young Sun, I'll meet him. Set up a date.
I'll ask.
Mr. Bang, I'm here.
- Hello. - Hi.
I'm really looking hard to find your sister an eligible bachelor.
- It's not that easy. - Is it not?
Why is it this hard to marry off my only sister?
Are you asking around yourself?
I want to but there's no one to ask.
I lost touch with everyone while I was in prison.
I see.
Have you heard from the private investigator?
Why can't I keep in touch with him?
Do you think he took the money and disappeared?
He's not that kind of a person.
I'm sure it's just that the witness is well hidden.
He didn't just move. He made a false accusation and disappeared.
He'll be hard to find.
I see what you mean, which is why he'll be impossible to find.
Let's trust him and wait. No news is good news.
(Chinese Restaurant)
So, what do you want to tell me?
Congratulations, Father.
"Father"?
Yes. I had no idea you wished to be a politician.
Don't get me wrong. I didn't wish to be a politician.
I just lived and worked hard and the opportunity came knocking.
Now that it came knocking, you will now...
jump into the world of politics.
Heading our chapter will be the important first step.
It could be.
But what if you aren't able to become head of our local chapter?
What then?
What do you mean?
Don't worry. I will work with you...
and ensure that it doesn't happen.
I'm not sure if I will need your help.
If you wish to become a politician,
you will need it.
Especially if you wish your secrets remain hidden.
What secrets?
What do you mean?
The dirty money you're making by working with loan sharks.
What?
The public believes you were recommended for the job...
because you're so transparent and you give to the community.
They don't suspect a thing.
What are you saying?
I told you that I will help you.
No one can find out that you're the one who has been...
bleeding the poor dry.
What's going on? He didn't call to say that he'd be late.
Maybe he's busy seeing people who want to congratulate him.
Mom. Did Dad want to be a politician?
I don't know. He never talked about it.
But now I think that the life he led...
would conclude in him becoming a politician.
Will he run in the general election?
Of course. He must if only he can.
What could be better than him being elected?
I don't understand what you're saying.
I have no idea where you heard such talk...
but I have nothing to do with loan sharks.
Do not insult me.
Father, you really do underestimate me.
Do you think I would be so careless as to bring it up...
just because I heard some talk?
Why are you doing this?
Why are you threatening me?
I am not threatening you.
I am just reminding you that I am family.
Who said you aren't?
Chungil Flour's heir seemed like a nice young man.
Any man with a daughter would want her to marry him.
How do you know about that?
The party will make the announcement tomorrow.
I just want to work at your side and help you.
Of course, only if I'm family.
What if you aren't?
I was told to help family members and fight off enemies.
Have you said all you wished to say?
Yes. This is all I wished to say.
Okay, then. You can leave.
I'll see you at home.
If you wish to become a politician,
you will need it.
Especially if you wish your secrets remain hidden.
What secrets?
The dirty money you're making by working with loan sharks.
How did he find out?
Why did you have so much to drink?
Did you celebrate your new title?
Were you in a good mood?
You shouldn't have had so much. Let's go inside.
I guess he was in a good mood.
You should go to bed.
Where is it?
Stop it. Are you crazy?
- My goodness. - She just slapped him.
Soo In, he's our CEO.
What's wrong?
Everything's fine. I'll wash the cups.
Seon Woo thinks about...
the evening he first met Soo In...
up to when he learned of her disappearance.
He then realizes that...
before he knew it, he has fallen in love with Soo In.
Soo In.
Where are you?
Be quiet.
Sir...
Keep quiet or I will hurt you.
- Soo In. - Madam.
Did something happen to you in the restaurant?
Find a house in Seoul for your family to move into.
Will you accept Mr. Choi?
Are you saying you could strangle me?
I'm saying it's totally up to you.
Is there anyone else?
I called him. He'll be down soon.
Soo In, how...
Mr. Kim.
