Seung-jae.
What do I do?
She had to meet such an incompetent mother...
Seon-ah...
Excuse me.
Excuse me, are you okay?
Hey!
Wake up!
Hey.
Are you okay?
Hey!
Wake up!
Hey.
Hey!
Anybody there?
Wake up!
Episode 105
How is she?
I think it was stress and overwork mixed together.
Did she go through some shock recently?
I don't know.
I'm not her guardian.
Then...
Oh, I was just passing by.
I found her fainted.
So I brought her here.
Then I should talk to her again when she wakes up.
She'll be okay if she gets some fluids.
Seung-jae.
Ki-taek.
Kkot-nim.
Auntie!
Ki-soon.
Duk-soo and Young-ji too. What's up?
Actually, uh...
Give us some breakfast.
What?
It seems like you starved more than 3 days.
Ki-soon.
You can't even cook at that age?
How could you make your family starve?
No.
I did well until now.
But today, all of our rice got burnt.
Don't blame her too much.
It's because I took her even before she could even get bride education.
What bride education?
That's for young 20s who are getting married.
Does it make sense that you can't cook when you're past 40?
If it's just rice she can't make, I wouldn't even talk.
When she makes soup, it's always burnt
and all the dishes are so bland.
They're not edible.
Auntie.
Dad and I want to eat meals like these too.
It's seasoned perfectly
and it increases my appetite.
Anyways, Young-ji.
Why are you still calling Mom 'Auntie'?
Mom?
Yeah.
If she marries your dad, she becomes your mom.
She's not Auntie.
No, no.
It hasn't been long since we became family.
That's not easy to change.
Duk-soo and I said we'll wait until Young-ji wants to.
It's understandable for Young-ji.
But you.
You fix how you call Duk-soo.
You know.
Honey~
Darling~
Gosh, so embarrassing.
What is there to be embarrassed about?
Honey~
I don't see Do-chul and Kang-wook.
He fell asleep late while studying.
Something must really be happening this year.
He can do it if he's determined.
And he's going to pass the exam this year so you just watch.
Does that mean anyone who applies this year will pass?
Auntie!
Again!
Bickering so early in the morning.
You were quiet for a few days.
I know.
Ki-soon, eat quickly and go back.
And Sunny.
Don't get too upset.
You're slightly better at housework.
You don't burn down a whole pot of rice like someone.
Yes, Mrs. Jung.
Where's Kang-wook?
He's going to meet a customer.
Customer?
At this time?
Did you two fight?
No, we didn't.
Then why isn't he eating?
This means he's avoiding someone.
Now that I think about it...
since he came back from Busan,
he's been talking less
and he doesn't eat.
Did something happen to Kang-wook?
No, nothing.
Nothing happened.
That's good, I guess.
But...
I...
Why are you coming this way, not Yeon Hwa Dang?
I wanted to see if Auntie is okay.
Oh yeah.
You take care of Auntie whenever you can.
Is she giving up on her revenge then?
Lower your voice!
Gosh...
Stop talking nonsense
and just go in and make broth.
You always bring up broth whenever I say something!
How great would it be if you could watch your mouth yourself then?
Auntie!
Where did she go early in the morning?
Hospital?
What happened?
Wake up!
Hey.
Are you okay?
Hey!
You woke up.
How did I get to the hospital?
A gentleman found you fainted and brought you here.
Who...
I'm not sure.
We don't know that either.
He said it was first time seeing you
but he seemed really worried.
He asked us several times to take good care of you.
Really?
Good morning!
You're here.
You must still have jet lag.
You should rest a few more days.
A boss can't rest for too long.
I wasn't sure of the current department store situation in Korea.
I should come out to work quickly to see what's going on.
Yes.
The data you asked for are on your desk.
Okay!
A cup of coffee, please.
Okay.
Yes?
Thank you.
Oh yeah, the data I asked for?
Are you talking about the items to go into the stores and suggested companies?
Yes.
I'm working on them right now. I'll bring them as soon as they're done.
Okay.
With the current companies too,
we have to go over them again and decide if we want to keep them
so please organize each company's sales report and customer satisfaction.
Okay.
Oh, and...
For bakeries, I have a specific plan in mind.
So we'll talk about that in the afternoon today during a meeting.
Okay.
Seung-jae...
That's weird.
I've never seen her before. Why does she seem so familiar?
As if...
I've seen her somewhere.
You heard that Hwashin department store's CEO changed to someone named James, right?
Yes.
From what I hear,
he's from the States
that he has great business skills.
He's Korean,
but he was adopted into a rich family in the States.
Yes, I heard that too.
The family who adopted James is a widely known rich family
but James is smart and has great business skills
so he rose to his position all on his own.
He's planning to keep expanding the business.
He already bought several department stores, not only Hwashin
and he's even going into hotels.
Don't let go of that great man, Yeon-hee.
You gotta hang on tight to him.
Yes, don't worry.
For now,
the two of you only focus on deliveries to Hwashin.
We have to try our best
to make sure James has a good impression on us.
I did hear he's a powerful man in the business industry.
But is he that great?
When I was studying in the States,
he was already famous as a respected businessman.
He has a big vision
and he achieves whatever he puts his mind on.
I always thought I want to be like him.
I had no idea he would buy in Hwashin department store.
Use Hye-ju's sophisticated tastes and Sun-ho's studying from the States
and make a new item that will impress James.
That's a great idea.
If that works out,
it will help a lot in being included in James' new business plan.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure to satisfy him.
I'll stop by the market
and then go to the factory
and check on the deliveries for Taewang
and add anything I need to add.
Oh, and...
I'm going to stop by Woori and collect money.
Kang-wook.
You don't have to try so hard.
You don't even eat when you work these days.
You're going to hurt yourself.
I need to keep myself busy
so I can breathe.
Kang-wook.
Auntie.
Be careful then.
Where did you go so early in the morning?
Just on a walk.
Why do you look so down?
Are you sick?
It's not much.
They said I just had stress and overwork.
They said I'll be fine if I take medications.
To me,
it seems like a heartache.
Since you can't do anything with the guy who killed your child right in front of you,
how would you be okay?
Your heart must be burning away
and probably got rotten by now.
Auntie.
Even if you failed this time,
You have to show him what you've got again.
So take medication, cheer up,
and plan a revenge--
I don't...
want to take revenge on Lee Soo-chang anymore.
What are you talking about?
You don't want to take revenge on him anymore?
I...
think there was a misunderstanding.
Misunder--
We all know
that Lee Soo-chang is a monster! What misunderstanding?
I'm going to clean up everything and move to the States.
The States?
Why the States all of a sudden? What are you talking about?
I think...
it'll be hard for me to keep living here.
I understand that you don't want to live under the same sky as Lee Soo-chang
but you should live in your own country!
Why are you trying to leave to another country?
She's right.
What good would that do?
And don't you need an invitation to go into the States?
Mom.
I think she should go in and rest first.
Okay.
Kkot-nim, go in and pull out the blankets for her.
Let's go in, Auntie.
Lie down here.
It's okay.
I can just sit and rest.
But whose handkerchief is this?
It's not yours, is it?
Actually...
I fainted on the street last night.
Someone found me and took me to the hospital.
It's his.
You fainted on the street last night?
Yeah.
I must've lost my consciousness for a little bit.
Why didn't you call?
If you called, I would've gone right away.
When I woke up, it was morning.
Whoever it is,
what a thankful man.
It was raining last night too.
If he didn't help you,
you may have been in the rain all night.
I know.
Whoever it is,
it would've been good if he at least left his phone number.
I think a department store should not only be a place where you buy things
but a place that incorporates culture, leisure, and society.
Then what you have in mind for bakeries...
Yes.
It won't be a common bakery that you see anywhere.
I want to make a cafe space
where customers stay and converse.
Then from bakeries in the country, Misung and Samyang have the best reviews.
How about you choose from those two?
No.
For Hwashin starting a new chapter,
we need a new challenge.
Then...
I want to hold a public bidding.
Public bidding?
That way, we're giving a chance
not only to big companies but to middle and small companies.
If they qualify for it,
they can sign a contract with Hwashin.
What?
Public bidding?
Yeah.
Hwashin decided to hold a public bidding for bakeries.
Why are they doing that?
They should just do what they used to do.
They're planning an open cafe space in the department store
and they're looking for a bakery that will bring in a fresh factor.
Fresh, my ass.
What if it goes bad?
This is why I don't like dudes from overseas.
Sun-ho too.
I don't like any of them.
This may be a good thing for us.
What?
What do you mean?
The finalists are going to be Samyang or us.
If we beat Samyang here
and get the bidding,
everyone will acknowledge us.
And Mrs. Min will trust us too.
That's right.
Let's plan something great so the grandma will be satisfied.
No matter what, with this one,
we have to win it.
You only did 5 so far?
I already did 10.
It's because I'm detailed.
You did it fast because you just wrapped whatever.
Hey, how detailed can you be with packing bread?
And Young-ji.
You should go out and play.
Why are you working here?
It's because this is fun.
So don't worry about me.
Oh my, Ki-soon.
You have an amazing daughter.
Someone is about to die because she wants to go out and play.
Young-ji.
This precious one already knows how to help the family out.
You should consider yourself lucky for getting a daughter-in-law like me.
What kind of woman these days
works at a restaurant and takes care of an unemployed husband?
And even helps with the in-laws' store?
Yes, Sunny.
I'm sorry.
But when we hand these over,
I'll buy you a pair of heels.
Really, Mr. Jung?
Yes, did I ever lie to you?
No, never.
I don't trust Do-chul
but I trust you.
Really?
Am I worth that much to you?
Do you have leftover money lying around?
Yeah! How much money would you get from packing these?
We don't even make much profit from these.
This is all because of Kkot-nim.
We could just use whatever ingredients like other stores
but she insists on the best ingredients. That's why there's no profit.
That's--
stubborn of Kkot-nim, huh?
Don't say that in front of Kkot-nim.
That's something she keeps like her pride.
It won't make her change her mind anyway.
She's soft all the other times.
But with things like that, there's not room for even a small needle to poke at.
Why?
Is there a problem?
I brought it straight from the factory.
I think the taste changed.
It changed?
I don't know, I don't think it went bad.
It didn't go bad.
But it's not as sticky
and is lacking flavor too.
Really?
What are you doing?
Dad, try the bread.
Don't you think it changed from before?
It tastes great.
No, something is different.
I'm gonna go to the factory.
What?
It tastes fine.
Did you change the ingredient company recently?
What are you talking about?
I tried the bread from the factory before delivering them
and the taste changed a little.
I think you're mistaken.
We didn't change anything.
I'm sorry
but can you show me the record of the ingredients you received?
The company for flour...
changed from Baeksong to Hwasung.
I've never heard of this place before.
That was--
The flour prices went up so high recently
and they said I could get them for cheap through someone I know
so we started buying from them.
I forgot to tell you.
If something is cheap, there must be a reason.
The flour is a little old but...
What?
But we took good care of it
so it's not much different from Baeksong's.
What do you mean?
The bread tastes different!
Even if you took good care of it,
you think old flour could make a fresh taste?
Then what is it?
The factory owner has been sneaking money out of the ingredients fund like that?
I didn't think he was like that.
What do we do?
What could we do?
We can't do anything about what's already sold.
We just have to keep a good eye on him.
But Kkot-nim is saying,
the bread tastes different.
So I tried it too,
and it tasted the same.
Mr. Jung and Mr. Min said the same too.
No, it's subtle but there's definitely a difference.
And kids enjoy our bread.
It bothers me that they used old flour.
No one got sick from it.
Maybe you're being too strict about this.
There are too many products already made with that flour.
And all the deliveries are almost done too.
If we bring them in,
we'll have to pay for breach of contract with our customers.
What?
Breech of contract?
Then wouldn't we have to pay penalty fees too?
Yes.
It'll cause a big loss.
I think we'll have to do a recall.
A recall?
Then what about all the losses?
People don't even know.
Let this one go, Kkot-nim.
I can't.
Even if the customers don't know,
it's our rule to make our bread with fresh ingredients.
And customers trust that when they buy our bread.
If we go against that trust,
I have no right to make bread anymore.
Alright.
If that's what you think,
we'll go with it.
I support your decision too, Kkot-nim.
Then let's announce it right away.
Honey, honey!
Honey!
What is it now?
Look at this.
Honey.
Kkot-nim's bakery Yeon Hwa Dang
sold bread made with old flour.
So they're doing a recall of all the bread they sold.
And people who bought the bread will get a refund too.
Did they get caught or something?
No, it's because it went against their ethics.
How dumb.
How would they make business out of that?
Honey.
It's not time for you to worry about Yeon Hwa Dang right now.
You have to worry about me!
What about you?
I ate their bread.
What?
You hate Kkot-nim.
But you ate their bread?
People kept saying how good it is
so I was so curious.
I ate two, not knowing it was made with old flour.
I shouldn't sit here like this.
What now?
Honey.
I'm gonna go ask for a refund.
Please don't.
Honey, don't stop me.
I'm going to show them a customer's rights.
Bread!
Wait.
But she already ate it all.
How would she get a refund when it's in her stomach already?
I'm really sorry.
You should be honest before you have to say sorry.
What is this?
We'll make sure this doesn't happen again.
We're really sorry.
Sorry for causing you an inconvenience.
We'll come back to you with fresh bread.
Sorry, please come again!
Sorry.
Sun-ho.
Did you hear about Yeon Hwa Dang?
What?
They found out they used old flour
so they did a recall.
A recall?
Yeah.
It must've hurt their guilty conscience.
They put out flyers
and said they'll refund whoever brings back the bread.
Yeon Hwa Dang revealed that themselves?
Probably.
They had their heads up high that they were getting pretty popular in the village.
But this ended up happening.
But as a businessman,
it's not easy to keep integrity over profit.
That's respectful.
Something like this happens
but you're still on Kkot-nim's side?
I wasn't taking her side.
I was just saying my opinions.
You think it logically makes sense
for you to show support for a company who used bad ingredients?
You know that's not what I meant.
Do you still have bad feelings towards Kkot-nim?
You keep being like this.
How could I like her?
Hye-ju.
I'm engaged to you
and I'm next to you.
I have no feelings for Kkot-nim.
Why are you doing this?
It keeps bothering me.
You keep making me feel this way.
What do you want me to do?
Hye-ju.
Temporary closure and recall.
That's funny.
If she stayed shut,
no one would've known.
Why did she announce it and bring trouble upon herself?
You know Min Duk-soo.
And Jung Kkot-nim is even worse than him.
True.
Those people with such frustrating personalities.
Mrs. Min, Min Duk-soo, Jung Kkot-nim.
How are they so similar?
Why do you leave out Seo Yeon-hee?
Mother and daughter, both so foolish.
One doesn't even know her daughter is right in front of her
and is in fear that we'll do something.
Another one doesn't even know her mother is being threatened
and is crying with recalled bread.
That's why they're living like that.
Who could they blame?
Are you going somewhere?
Yeah.
Have a seat.
I want to hand out bread with good ingredients for free
and build trust from beginning again.
Sorry that I can't help you.
No.
You're having a hard time.
I'm the one sorry for not being able to help you.
You know...
about Kang-wook, right?
Yeah.
You can't even show that you're having a hard time too.
It must be hard for you to be stuck in the middle.
Don't mind me.
And just be there for Kang-wook.
It would be great if I could just tell Kang-wook
that it's okay, and that we can be like before
but...
that's hard.
Auntie...
If I accept Kang-wook like nothing happened,
I feel like I'm sinning against Seon-ah again.
So I don't think I ca see Kang-wook for a while.
It'll take time.
Kang-wook is going to wait too.
10 years or 100 years,
asking for forgiveness...
he said he'll protect you.
He didn't do anything, why would he ask for forgiveness?
I'm the one who needs forgiveness.
If I didn't look for Seon-ah...
that wouldn't have happened to her.
Don't say that.
Two people who had to meet met.
People who had to meet...
I dreamt about my husband recently.
The day I fainted and was taken to the hospital.
He held my hand...
and told me it's going to be okay.
Sorry.
What am I saying to a busy person?
Auntie...
You should go home now.
You're working too hard as soon as you got here.
I was going to head out actually.
I'll take you to your house.
It's okay.
I came back in 20 years.
I should walk and look around whenever I have time.
That was one of my wishes.
Hello, I'm from Yeon Hwa Dang.
Try our bread.
We promise we'll make bread with the best ingredients.
Try it.
Don't take it, they used old ingredients.
How bad was it that they did a recall?
I know.
But they're still going to sell bread? So shameless.
Let's go.
Can I try this bread?
Yes, of course.
