(Episode 22)
This is as sweet as sugar itself.
Is work okay?
Of course.
Mom, the more I learn about it, the more interesting it gets.
Didn't you say you were tutoring someone today?
You're making me lose my appetite.
Why? Is your student slow?
There's nothing you can do for someone who is slow.
Mom, I bet he isn't slow.
Is he thickheaded?
Stop it.
Are you going to crack lame jokes like that?
You must have totally lost it!
Are you out of your mind?
How could you quit your job...
without saying anything to me?
Do you even consider me your father?
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
Then why did you quit?
If you're really sorry, go back to your office tomorrow,
apologize 100 times, tell them it was a mistake,
and that you'd go back to work.
Why aren't you answering me?
Do you hear me?
My resignation was accepted.
There's nothing I can do to change that and I don't intend to.
What? You don't intend to?
That's enough. It's late at night.
We can hear you outside the front gate.
Tell your father you were wrong to do this.
Even I think you made the wrong choice.
You were rash.
Then what are you going to do since you quit your job now?
Something I want to do.
I've wanted to make books for a long time.
What? Books?
Are you saying you quit your great job at that great company...
to merely make books?
Are you serious?
There must be something seriously wrong with you.
Wake up!
Is that what you came up with...
with that smart brain of yours?
Do you know what I went through to raise you?
When your mom passed away,
I changed your diapers, fed you,
washed you, and clothed you.
I know everything you had to go through to raise me.
I know it better than anyone else, so I always felt bad.
I also know I'll never be able to pay you back for it.
How could you stab me in the back...
if you knew all that?
If you had any consideration for me,
you couldn't have handed in your resignation that easily.
Do you think it was an easy decision to make?
I was suffering too.
That's why I'm telling you to take your resignation back.
This is my life.
Please stop telling me what to do.
Why do you always want me to do what seems right to you?
There's a life I want.
A life that I've dreamt of living.
How long do you expect me to do as you say?
How dare you!
Let's talk after you calm down.
What? Calm down?
You cause this chaos and tell me to calm down?
I'll calm down when you find me a reason to.
I'm going into my room.
Come back here. I'm not done talking to you.
- That's enough. - Are you ignoring me?
- Mr. Park. - That's enough.
You're going to hurt both of your feelings.
My goodness.
How could you do that?
I thought you wouldn't lie to me even if the rest of the world does.
This is betrayal.
You've betrayed your son.
People would think I sold you off if they heard you.
You gave me your word.
You said you switched tutors.
What do you not like about her to cause such a fuss?
I don't like anything about her.
Are you saying that...
because you don't want to study, but don't have a good excuse?
Mom.
I don't want to be tutored by a girl younger than I am.
The pride of men...
It's not like you'll have to see her forever.
It'll be 6 months at the most.
Age doesn't matter if she's a good tutor.
You should be willing to learn even from a 10-year-old...
if she knows better than you.
You have the wrong attitude.
- Come on, Mom. - Stop being so unreasonable.
I have enough on my mind already. Are you trying to add to it?
We wouldn't have this problem if you'd gone to a good university.
It's costing us extra money...
and causing me frustration.
Go to the army if you don't want to study.
Do you seriously want to send your only son to the army?
What could be better than the army to help you realize reality?
I'm going to make sure you're on active duty.
So unless you want to go right now,
don't say another word, and take classes from that tutor.
That's it. Leave. Out.
Now, I understand why Dad ran away.
How dare you...
How could he and his father cause me such grief?
Wait, is he not coming home again?
I cancelled his credit cards,
and he must've run out of cash. That's odd.
(Mother)
Hello? Mother, hello. Have you been well?
Yes. No, we're doing fine.
I'm just calling you to check on you.
Dong Seok... Dong Seok stepped out briefly.
I'll have him call you when he's back, Mother.
Yes. Yes, Mother.
Yes. Goodbye, Mother.
It doesn't look like he went to his mother's place.
Where on earth did he go?
- Haven't you heard from Dong Seok? - No.
No news is good news. He must be doing okay.
Mom, he hasn't called us for a few days.
Aren't you worried about him?
Why would I worry about him when he left home by himself?
I have better things to do.
This is why Dong Seok ran away from home.
He has feelings like anyone else.
What did you just say?
Honestly, you shouldn't have told our housekeeper to throw out...
the side dishes his mother sent to us.
I really hated the smell of the rich soy bean paste.
Are you pregnant or something?
You're fussing about it as if you have morning sickness.
Gosh. How dare you say such a thing?
- I'm home. - Come on in.
- Don't be so late, Ji Eun. - I won't, Grandma.
They say birds of a feather flock together.
What's wrong with her?
Seriously. I'm so upset.
I haven't heard from your dad,
and Ji Hoo, that brat, keeps making excuses not to study...
asking me to get another tutor.
I mean, what is wrong with the men in our family?
I met Dad.
Did you? When?
Earlier today. He's doing well.
Next time you see him, tell him not to even think of coming back.
You sound like you're begging him to come home soon.
Gosh. Of course.
I forgot that you're also a member of the Hwang family. Goodness.
Hearing the word "Hwang" alone makes me throw a fit now.
But you like peaches.
You like gold too. What other words do you like with "Hwang" in it?
- Hwang... - That's enough.
You're drunk and being mean.
Gosh. Seriously.
The Hwang family. Darn.
Dad.
I'm going to work now.
See you later.
- Hi, Do Gyeong. - Are you going to work?
Are you all right?
Where is Mr. Park?
He's in his room.
I'll text you my office address.
Stop by my office anytime before you decide.
I'll visit you this evening if I'm free.
- Okay. You might be late. Let's go. - Okay.
This is refreshing.
"Refreshing"?
Oh, I see.
Oh, my.
Leo, it's hot. Be careful.
Han Na, your dad just lied to me.
It's not refreshing.
I said it's refreshing because it's refreshing.
When you have a bite, it feels nice...
I don't know how to explain it.
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach can hurt his stomach.
Tell him to eat dried pollack soup to relieve his hangover.
Italians relieve hangover with a cup of espresso.
That's nonsense.
It's true.
It's nice.
Gosh. It's so refreshing.
- It's nice. - It's refreshing.
Unbelievable.
It feels like I'm watching a sitcom early in the morning.
- I'll get going. I'm running late. - Okay.
- See you later. - See you.
I envy his youth.
I didn't get hangovers when I was at his age.
I must've had a silly dream last night.
Maybe I'm not completely sober yet.
Give me some more soup.
Eat mine.
What are you doing?
I'm watching you cut a pattern.
That's the front, and this is the back, right?
You can make clothes by combining them.
Which fabric will you use to make a sample of this?
Why do you want to know that?
Obviously, I'm going to buy the fabric.
"Obviously"?
I've read your mind.
I mean, the reason why you told me to buy the fabric and materials.
You wanted me to see and touch them...
with my own eyes and hands...
instead of staying here to memorize the types of fabric, right?
That's a generous interpretation.
I thought I made my point. Can you still not give up?
As of today, I won't give up on anything.
I'll never give up.
The contract is still valid,
so I'm going to stay strong until the contract ends.
Take a look.
I subscribe to the overseas edition of fashion magazines.
It's fun to read as I can see the overseas trend at a glance.
It's also helpful.
That's what you would do.
You seem to enjoy your job.
You don't just enjoy it.
It seems like you always keep a step ahead of other merchandisers.
You were ranked first in the sales of cosmetic products.
Don't you like your job?
You always work hard.
I'm just doing my best to do the given tasks.
I'm curious about what kind of work you would like.
Do you have a hobby?
No, I don't.
What's your specialty?
I have none.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Ms. Oh Seung Mi thinks you have one.
She said you left in a hurry after work.
She said you went on a date.
So you have a girlfriend.
No, I don't.
A boyfriend?
Are you surprised?
Dating a man is acceptable, right?
He's a leather crafting store's owner I know.
I think he's interested in your mom.
Your mom is also a woman.
Don't be too disappointed, and be happy for her.
Being single is lonely.
She's not single. She has my dad.
I know. He's still your dad,
but she doesn't have feelings for him anymore.
Can't you understand her when you're her daughter?
Oh, I get it. You think I don't know about them.
I'm saying this because I know about her marriage graduation.
Actually...
She's here.
- Give me a cup of coffee, please. - Yes, Ms. Yoon.
I'll do it. Go back to work.
A charity fashion show?
You have to prepare for the spring and summer season in autumn.
Do you think you can do that?
It's to raise funds for a children's foundation. I have to do it.
Oh, dear.
Did you buy a new pair of shoes?
You asked me about the leather crafting store.
I didn't go there.
Why? You liked my shoes.
I was busy.
The theme of the fashion show will be matching clothes...
for a mother and daughter since it's for raising funds.
Oh, my. You're already busy now.
You're going to get even busier. My goodness.
Hi, it's Do Gyeong.
Did my dad go to work?
Did he have lunch?
I was just going to take him lunch.
He hasn't taken a step out of the shop today.
I'm sorry, but please take good care of him.
Bye.
Are you busy?
What are you doing?
If you skip breakfast and lunch,
you won't have any strength left to work with.
That's my problem.
Don't worry about me, and go away.
My goodness. Why would I be worried about you?
Do Gyeong asked me to do this.
That horrible son of mine...
You went too far by hitting him when he's an adult.
It's not like he's too young to talk things out with.
You were wrong to do that.
Do you know how frustrated I was to do that?
Children never turn out the way you want them to.
I'm sure Do Gyeong has plans.
He couldn't have quit without thinking it over.
- Leave if you're siding with him. - Come on.
Don't just get upset about it.
I told you I don't want to hear any more of it.
Please leave.
Fine. But eat...
since Do Gyeong is worried.
My goodness.
It looks fine.
I know, but the factory in China took longer than expected,
so it arrived later than the date it was supposed to go on air.
So it didn't even get a chance to go on the home shopping channel.
So what? What do you want me to do with it?
Please help me.
How could I?
Sell it for a cheap price.
They offered a dollar a piece.
They're practically trying to rob me.
They'll pay a dollar for it and sell it for over 10.
It was going to be sold at 50 dollars for three.
I'm not asking for much.
Please help me sell it at least for the production cost.
You can take any profit I make from it.
I understand the situation you're in, but...
We'll help you.
Do you promise to take just the production cost?
Yes, that's right. I'm just asking for that.
Let's help him out.
I gave you a break, but you've overstepped your boundaries...
by sticking your nose in this.
You'll give him the production cost?
Do you even know how many there are?
How many are there?
It's at least 30,000.
30,000?
Where are you going to sell all that? Do you even have a plan?
You don't have to come here anymore.
I have nothing to teach or give you,
so do whatever you want...
whether you make clothes and sell it or anything else.
I have a plan.
K1 Home Shopping.
I'll talk to Hwang Ji Eun, an MD there.
Do you think she'll welcome you with open arms after seeing you once?
You're wrong.
Why would they take products from a company with no experience?
There must be a way.
Even companies that have vendors,
which work as a middleman, have a hard time launching products.
Not to mention...
Forget it. I'm wasting my breath.
Wake up.
I haven't even started.
My gosh. That's why it's better to quit now.
You don't have a company, any funds...
I can come up with the money.
I'm looking into government support for start-up companies...
and I've found an office.
- An office? - Yes.
I really want to make this work.
I know it'll be tough...
and never thought it would be easy.
I'm really going to do my best.
Please help me.
Pick up the speed and clean all this.
Of course.
Hello.
This is Hwang Dong Seok.
What?
Yes, all right.
Aren't you going to clean?
Here you go.
If you deduct the cost for sleeping here and the food I ate...
from my daily wage, that would be around 15 dollars.
I want 15 dollars.
Who is causing all that noise?
It's your son-in-law, Ji Hoo's dad.
How have you been the past few days?
You asked me not to look for you. Why are you back?
What can I do about hating being home but to put up with it?
This is where my family is.
Is that all you can say? Put up with it?
Do you think you're the only one? I'm putting up with you too.
When did you put up with anything?
You always say whatever is on your mind.
Your word is the only one that matters in this house.
You're worse than Queen Elizabeth in the UK.
You're an absolute monarch.
What happened to you outside that made you sound so confident?
Did you come back to provoke me?
How would a lowly person like me do that?
You're the queen of the house.
Are you acting in a periodical film?
All you had to do is apologize after leaving for days.
You look like a mature adult, but you act like a petty old man.
That's right.
I used to have big dreams. How did I become such a petty old man?
Are you asking me?
There must be a cause to the effect.
I thought it was a prank call, but you're really here.
Where were you all this time?
I found a job.
Iron my suit, so I can start going to work tomorrow.
I'll be in my room.
He found a job?
He must've matured after suffering for a few days.
You found a job? What kind of job is it?
I'm tired. I'm going to sleep.
Wait a second.
Is it a teaching job? Is it something else?
Tell me what it is.
Why do you keep asking?
It's an office job.
What's your job title?
I can't worry about my job title at this age.
I should be thankful that I even got the job.
Then don't take it.
You may call it an office job, but it must be a lame one.
What if I don't take it?
Jin Hui said she'd persuade Mom.
Hang in there and you'll be the CEO of an academy.
That job has already been taken.
We can find you another one.
Mom seemed to feel guilty...
when you were gone for the past few days.
I'm sure she'll agree to it.
Even if she does, I don't want it. So no.
Why not?
Do you want me to kiss up to her for that job?
I don't want to live like that ever again.
What's wrong with that?
I have my pride too.
That doesn't matter between family members.
Mom is family.
She's just worried about you.
Worried about me?
Of course. How could she not worry about her family?
She only treated me as family when I was a hotshot.
You know how she treated me when I became a nobody.
I didn't want to come home,
but I swallowed my anger to come back.
Why did you come home when you didn't want to?
I wanted to be a dad to Ji Eun and Ji Hoo.
I didn't want to be a lousy father to them.
I know I'm a lousy husband to you,
but I couldn't do that to our children too.
I found a job on my own,
and I'll give you living expenses.
So I don't want you to ask Mother...
to help me start an academy either.
You're home.
A trip?
Oh, this... I'm going on a business trip.
This is my business trip bag, okay?
- Okay. - Good.
My son-in-law, are you stepping out?
I don't like being called that.
Leo. My name is Leo.
- Leo... Leo? - Leo.
Okay.
You want me to call you Leo instead of "my son-in-law"?
Leo.
I'm going out to see Han Na. We'll watch a movie.
Speak formal Korean, will you?
You're speaking rudely to me.
Did he say "woman"? I'm not seeing another woman.
I'm going to see Han Na.
All right. Okay. Go ahead, and meet Han Na.
See you later.
Gosh.
He treats me like his friend.
But I can't really say anything.
I'll be able to sleep comfortably from today.
What are you doing in my bed?
Wake up.
I'm hungry. Give me something to eat.
Before that, let's settle something first.
"Marriage Graduation Confidential Agreement"?
Read it, and sign it.
We'll pretend to be a couple in front of our children,
but we don't have to do that when we're alone.
"Number one. Our marriage graduation is still in effect."
"Hence, we must not forget that we are..."
"no longer a married couple."
I can never forget that.
"Number two. We must keep it a secret from our children."
"Number three. Especially, in front of Leo and Han Na,"
"we must pretend to be happily married."
"Number four. When Leo and Han Na move out,"
"Lee Sang Hoon must move out as well."
I'll move out even if you beg me to stay.
"Number five. We share the bedroom,"
"but Lee Sang Hoon must sleep on the floor."
- "On the floor"? - The bed is exclusive for me.
If you don't like it, you can move out now.
"Number six. Lee Sang Hoon must pay 1,500 dollars a month..."
"for the living cost while he's living in the house."
"In case of violation of this rule, he may not receive any meals."
You'll starve me if I don't give you money?
It'll be easier if you think that you're living in a lodging house.
What are you going to do?
It's up to you.
1,500 dollars is too much. Let's make it to 1,000 dollars.
Let's end this if you don't want to give me 1,500 dollars.
(Lee Sang Hoon)
Here. Are you satisfied? Go make dinner.
I'll prepare meals,
but we'll split house chores like cleaning and laundry.
So don't forget that.
What are you talking about? I'm paying you money.
Gosh. You should've read the contract more carefully.
Read what's written after "Lee Sang Hoon must pay..."
"for the living cost."
"We divide all the house chores such as cleaning and laundry..."
"except for preparing meals."
That woman...
Darn it.
How about we drink beer after work?
I'm craving alcohol drinks.
Alcohol drinks?
Alcohol Angel...
- Sorry? - Nothing.
I have to confirm a schedule.
- You go ahead first. - Okay.
- It's me. - Hi, Silver Purse.
I called you because I was curious.
Did you confess?
No, I couldn't do it.
Did you not confess? You should've mustered up courage.
I mustered up courage following your advice,
but it was too late.
Dad found out about it before I told him.
So? What happened?
What do you think could happen when a bomb explodes?
Imagine that.
How are you feeling now?
I feel relieved that he knows now, but it doesn't feel good.
How do you relieve your stress?
Are you stressed out?
Isn't there anything you do when you feel upset?
- Yes, there is. - What is it?
I read books.
Reading books helps me forget everything and find peace of mind.
What about you?
You said reading books helps you relieve stress.
But these are comic books.
Just like food, you shouldn't be picky with your reading.
I asked the owner to recommend the best ones.
If you say so.
Look at this.
"Bring it on. Come on."
Aren't you hungry?
"It becomes slower."
I'll have just one bite.
Tteokbokki is always good.

Do Gyeong?
Do Gyeong.
