You're getting home late.
- Dad. - Yes, I'm back.
I'm glad you're back.
Where's Mom?
She's fast asleep.
Everyone is sleeping now. You should go to bed too.
Okay. You should get some sleep too, Dad.
All right.
He should be up by now, right?
Should I have woken up him?
I left first because you were sound asleep.
I just try to get a good sleep when I'm stressed out.
Cheer up.
Gosh, my neck.
Do Gyeong.
Ha Nui, what are you doing here?
- Are you waiting for someone? - You.
You weren't at your office, and you didn't answer my calls either.
I was worried.
- I'm sorry. - I called you many times.
I saw I missed your calls but didn't call back since it was too late.
I would've called back if I had known you were waiting.
Where have you been?
I read comic books with a friend.
Comic books?
I guess they're books too after all. I do feel better now.
Were you at my office?
I told you I'd stop by in the evening.
Right, I told you I'd show you my office and forgot about it.
Do you want to see it tomorrow?
I'd obviously be grateful if you're okay with it.
All right. The desk is empty, so you can move in anytime.
You can use the desk at the office.
Just bring whatever else you need.
I was worried since I was thinking that you'd be very upset.
I'm relieved that you're okay.
You're all grown up now, kid.
Thanks for your concern.
Let's go in.
I'm home.
Have a seat.
Have you had dinner yet?
No, I haven't.
- Do Gyeong. - Yes.
Here. Look at my hands.
I moved to Seoul at the age of 18.
I had neither skills nor education to back me up,
but I had to earn money.
I somehow managed to become a shoemaker's apprentice.
That's how I started out, and I've come this far since then.
I can't even tell you everything I went through...
in the last 35 years.
But my two hands tell the story.
People might think that they look...
grubby and filthy,
but I've never been ashamed of them.
They're like medals to me.
I know.
They say that every job deserves respect,
but that's not how people think.
People treat laborers and white-collar workers...
very differently.
I don't even have to mention lawyers and doctors.
Everyone respects those who work at big companies.
Dad.
Do you think I've never been looked down on because of my job?
Do you think I've never suffered prejudice?
That's why... That's precisely why I wanted my child...
That's why I wanted you...
to have a job...
that everyone can be proud of so that no one can disrespect you.
Do you think that's wrong?
It wasn't for me. It was all for your own sake.
Can't you understand how I feel?
I can. I know, but...
Then you should change your mind this instant.
Change the way you think, okay?
How could you leave that great company?
What? Why on earth do you want to publish books?
Change your mind for me, okay?
I'm sorry, Dad.
Does that mean...
you'll...
go against me and stick to your plan?
Yes.
You brat. How could you?
How can you call yourself my son?
I'm practically begging you like this.
I'm telling you that it's my wish. You rude brat.
How can you do this to me?
I'm going to my room.
Get out of my house this instant.
I don't need a son who doesn't even listen to me.
Leave now. Get out!
Dad, please. That's enough.
I understand how you must be feeling now,
but can't you try to put yourself in my shoes?
Why do you only think about yourself?
Why do you worry about what people may think?
What did you just say?
Have you ever told me...
that I should live the life that I want?
Have you ever asked me...
what I want in life and what I want to do?
You see, I've always wanted to be a writer since I was little.
I've always liked to read.
I even won a writing competition back in college, but I gave up. Why?
Because of you.
To get a stable job like you had always wanted.
Then what's the problem? Why do this after all these years?
I started to feel as if I was disappearing.
I felt as if I had lost myself.
That company you liked so much.
There wasn't a single day that I was happy there. Do you know that?
I want to be happy, Dad.
Even if it's a hard job that doesn't earn me a lot of money,
I want something that gives me excitement and joy.
I want a life where I can do what I want to do.
Is it that wrong?
Dad, are you really doing this for me?
Isn't it for your vain greed?
All right.
If that's what you think,
I have nothing more to say.
I don't want to worry about you anymore,
so go ahead, and live however you want.
Han Na, you should leave for work!
Han Na.
Han Na, you'll be late.
- My gosh. - Mom, can't you knock?
I'm sorry. I forgot to knock.
I'm really sorry, Leo.
Good morning, Mom.
Gosh, why are you being like this?
My goodness.
My mom really is something.
She's funny.
There's something in your eye.
What?
Oh, I had sleep in my eyes.
Sleep in your eyes?
I'm embarrassed. Stop staring at me like that.
Why?
I haven't washed my face yet. I must look ugly now.
No, even the sleep in your eyes looks pretty.
You're such a liar.
Is breakfast ready?
I'm making it now.
And get up early starting tomorrow...
so you can help me.
I'm busy in the morning.
What did you say?
I have to wake up earlier than Leo to spruce myself up. It's hectic.
I'll never let him see my face without makeup on.
Gosh.
Oh, right. Do you have a boyfriend?
What are you going to do if I do?
Do you really have a boyfriend?
Of course not. What are you talking about?
Bring side dishes from the fridge, and put them on the table.
Manager Yoon knows about your marriage graduation.
Why didn't you tell her that you made up with Dad?
I've been so out of it. I couldn't tell her that.
- I didn't even say you got married. - Why?
It's not something that I'm proud of.
Did you tell her that?
No.
See? You didn't tell her because you were embarrassed too.
It looks delicious.
Why don't you use a fork?
Han Na, eat a lot.
You too, Leo.
Well, don't eat too much.
You don't want to get fat, right?
Han Na isn't fat.
- She should eat a lot. - Sorry?
Han Na, I told you to teach him proper Korean.
Teach him how to speak formerly. It makes me uncomfortable.
I taught him, but he keeps forgetting it.
Leo, when you speak to my mom and dad,
say "please" at the end of your sentences. I told you that.
"Please"?
Please.
All right. Well, eat some more sausages.
- Yes. Please. - My son-in-law.
- Okay. - Yes. Please.
I said "please". Did I do well?
Why don't you two speak formally to each other too?
Then he'll learn formal Korean naturally.
Oh, that's a very good idea.
It's good for you two to be respectful to each other.
Leo, thank you.
Honey, enjoy your meal too.
Dong Seok, since you're back,
this house feels more like home now.
I'm sorry for making you worry, Jin Hui.
That's okay.
If you have another problem, try to resolve it through a conversation.
Oh, right. Did Mom apologize to you, Dong Seok?
What are you talking about?
I never received an apology from her.
Mom.
Fine.
About the side dishes that your mother sent to us.
I was thoughtless.
I'm sorry.
You're right, Mother. You were thoughtless.
It's already been done.
But since you apologized to me, I'll accept your apology.
Mother, I...
can put up with everything else, but please don't disregard...
my mother's feelings.
I didn't disregard...
I understand.
Give me some water.
Oh, okay. Honey, here you go.
Then I'll go to work now.
All right.
Honey, have a nice day.
You too. See you later.
See you later.
He's acting as if he got a highly recognized job.
He's acting so arrogantly.
He's such an eyesore.
Mom, you're completely clueless.
It's really hard to get a job at his age.
These days, people say "Itaebaek" and "Saohjung"...
In fact, you wouldn't know.
Why do you think I don't know?
Lee Tae Baek is a famous poet in the past,
and Sa Oh Jung...
is a cartoon character.
Don't look down on me.
That's not what I'm saying.
"Itaebaek" means most people in their 20s are jobless,
and "Saohjung" means most people retire at the age of 45.
That's what those words mean.
That shows how hard it is to get a job these days,
but Dong Seok pulled it off. That's what I'm saying.
Wouldn't he be proud?
It's good to see him being the way he used to be.
Right, Jin Hui?
Seeing him in a suit after a long time...
made my heart flutter.
I told her that a handsome face isn't everything.
Jin Hui, I...
like a man in a suit,
but a man... A man in a uniform...
looks so fabulous to me.
You have to go on patrol twice in the morning and evening.
If you find any problem in the facility,
you can tell the management office.
"I make sure to keep this building safe and sound."
If you work with this mindset,
it won't be hard.
Oh, my. Hello.
Hello. Good morning.
This is the new security guard. Please say hello to each other.
Mr. Hwang, this is the owner of Sa Rang's Recipe.
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you too.
Are you...
from Chungju by any chance?
Yes. I... I am from Chungju.
Eun Ae?
My goodness. You really are Dong Seok.
Oh, my. Dong Seok, it's been such a long time.
- Goodness. - It's good to see you again.
- Dong Seok. Here you go. - Yes?
Thank you for this.
How long has it been?
I only have a vague memory.
Has it been about 28 years?
It's been 30 years.
This is the 31st year.
I see.
Gosh. Dong Seok, you haven't changed at all.
You haven't aged one bit.
That's not true. I've aged.
I couldn't even imagine we could see each other again.
Are you doing well?
Yes, I am.
How are your parents doing? They're well, aren't they?
Of course. They're well.
Oh, both of my parents passed away a long time ago.
I see.
Oh, right. Do you visit your parents in Chungju often?
I go there on national holidays. I can't visit them often.
Everyone is busy these days. It's understandable.
I heard that you were happily married from a friend of a friend.
Did you?
That makes me wish I hadn't recognized you.
I mean, I look awful.
I should've at least dressed nicely.
Don't say that. I didn't mean it that way.
You look pretty now too. I mean it.
You still smile just like you used to.
It's good to see a hometown friend.
Whenever you crave coffee while working,
come to see me.
I'm not rich, but I can afford to buy you a cup of coffee.
Okay.
- It's refreshing. - It's good, right?
Yes.
- Just come in, and have a look. - Gosh.
Why would you drag me here when I'm busy?
- Hi, Do Gyeong. - Hi. I'm glad you're here.
This is Mr. Kim Ho Cheol.
Oh, him?
It's nice to meet you. I'm Park Do Gyeong.
Well, hello.
This office is quite large.
See? I told you it's large.
This is big enough for us, right?
I can't help feeling like I'm being fooled.
This side is for my publishing company.
You can use the rest of the office.
And one more thing. It's not all free.
I'll pay the rent for the first two months,
but after that, we'll split it evenly.
Ha Nui, work hard, and make a lot of money.
Absolutely. I can do it.
Mr. Kim. What are you going to do now?
You have no choice.
You have to do this.
I'm going to meet Ms. Hwang Ji Eun, the MD at K1 Home Shopping.
What?
I'll sincerely ask her to help us sell this on the network.
Since it's a summer shirt, we have to sell it as soon as possible.
Or else, Mr. Choi will suffer great loss.
Obviously, we'll lose our profit too.
Once she sets her mind on something, she just goes for it.
She pushes ahead with it no matter what.
I'll go to see the MD at K1 Home Shopping now.
Are you sure you can meet the MD?
Did you make an appointment?
Of course. That's why I'm going.
I'll see you later.
See you later.
She beat you.
It looks like you've known her for a long time.
She's so rash and unpredictable. Can I let her do these things?
Once she sets her mind to something, she makes sure it happens.
If you guide her well,
she'll accomplish a lot more than what you're expecting.
Mr. Kim, please take good care of Ha Nui.
It sounds like I'll have a lot to do from now on.
Gosh, what are they saying?
I can't hear them at all.
What should I do now?
I don't even have an appointment.
No. Kang Ha Nui, you can do it.
It's a pickpocket!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
I'm okay.
Here you go.
Oh, no. Your skirt is torn.
There you go.
What do you think?
It's that safety pin again.
Didn't you have it on your skirt when we were at Dongdaemun Market?
- You remember this? - Yes, I thought it was clever.
Yes.
Yes, this is MD Hwang Ji Eun.
Who's this?
The girl who caught the pickpocket for you at Dongdaemun Market.
Don't you remember?
You gave me your business card that day.
Oh, yes. Of course I remember you.
You're here now?
Ms. Hwang! I'm here.
I didn't think we'd meet again like this. It's good to see you.
Same here. Have you been well?
I was actually thinking about you just before you called me.
We must've been on the same wavelength.
Really?
That makes me so happy.
By the way, what brings you here?
You must've called me for a reason.
Yes.
What would you like to drink? Iced coffee?
Or iced tea?
It's on me.
So you want to sell this?
Which brand makes it?
The Queen. It's a licensed brand.
The Queen isn't really a trendy brand anymore.
What's the name of the company?
The name of the company?
Isn't there a company that's selling these?
Is it a dummy company or what?
No. It's a legitimate company, of course.
The company's name is...
What am I going to do? What should I say?
Focus, Kang Ha Nui.
You can't give up here.
"Ha Nui"?
It's Hanui Apparel.
It means, "Create new trends to take the world by a storm."
It's a start-up company.
That's your name.
Oh, you're right. What a coincidence.
You don't know how brands break into home shopping, do you?
Pardon?
No, I don't.
Do you think I'll include your clothes on the show...
if you bring them to me like this and ask me to do so?
We receive proposals from dozens of companies on a daily basis...
along with company bios and information on new products.
Most companies don't get picked even after doing all that hard work.
I know we've met before,
but I know nothing about this company, Hanui Apparel.
I don't know how the company's finances are...
and what its credit rating is like.
Would you accept this request if you were me?
You have to follow the proper steps.
Please submit your proposal...
along with your company bio and product information.
Then I'll review it.
Thank you. I'll send you everything before the end of the week.
First, I'll take this.
A co-worker on my team is looking for a new brand to work with.
But I can't guarantee anything.
Thank you so much, Ms. Hwang.
It's too early to thank me.
Thank me later on if everything goes well.
I came to see you without any preparation.
I'm so embarrassed after hearing your thoughtful advice,
and I'd like to apologize.
I don't know why I'm doing this.
I usually turn people away when I get requests like this.
I should get going. I have a meeting.
Here.
I'll get going then.
Have a good day.
I'm a girl too, but she's so cool.
I have no time to waste.
A company bio, a proposal, and product information.
I must never forget.
The designs are quite diverse,
and they also used floral patterns, which are popular these days.
It's a start-up company. Someone from the company came to see me,
so I said I'd take these for now.
She said she'll send the paperwork separately,
so take a look at the clothes first.
If it's a new company that tried to skip the proper steps...
and meet you first, I don't want to work with them.
I don't think they knew how things get done in this business.
She was very surprised when I told her about the proper procedure.
You know I always draw a clear line between work and personal matters.
- Yes, I know that. - Then don't be biased.
To tell you the truth, I don't know her that well either.
You said you thought using this was clever.
It was actually her idea.
My skirt ripped when I was at the market, and she helped me.
That's when we first met.
Then you should register the business first.
Aren't you the CEO? How can you go there without knowing anything?
Gosh, how embarrassing.
You made a bad first impression.
Gosh, it was so embarrassing.
I wanted to hide because I was terribly embarrassed.
What's that look?
You should've told me.
I asked you to teach me everything.
My goodness.
Why are you taking it out on me?
I don't deserve this.
Why do I have to teach you everything?
It's your duty since you're my business partner.
Says who? Who's your business partner?
Then why are you even in this office now?
I thought we were in this together.
All right, calm down. Both of you.
First off, you already have the company name, Hanui Apparel.
"Create new trends to take the world by a storm." That's nice.
What do you think?
I guess it depends.
It's not that bad.
You should've asked me what to prepare...
before heading to the home shopping channel.
Mr. Kim!
Register the business, and open a bank account for the company.
I'll take care of getting a credit report.
What are you doing now?
Mr. Kim, let's work very hard and make our company a success.
You said you wanted to talk about something. Say it.
What are you going to do?
I don't know what you're talking about.
About the tutoring. You won't do it, right?
I am going to do it.
You're going to do it? Are you serious?
I really don't want to do it.
So call my mom, and tell her that you can't do it.
Just say something has come up, and you have no time for it.
I have a lot of time on my hands.
- Do you really want to tutor me? - No, I don't.
See? You don't want to do it.
So just call my mom, and tell her that you can't do it.
Right, you should call her now.
What are you waiting for? Call her.
Don't you have her number?
I told you that I have a lot of time.
But you said you don't want to tutor me.
But I have to do it because I must earn money.
I'll get going if you have nothing else to say.
You're speaking rude to me today.
You started it first.
I'm two years older than you.
You think you can be rude to everyone who's younger than you?
Gosh, seriously. I really don't want to do it.
Then tell your mom yourself.
Don't be ridiculous like this.
What? "Ridiculous"?
- Are you done? - No, there's one more thing.
Confess that you lied to my friend that you were a med student.
If you don't, I'll tell your family. You swindler!
"Swindler"?
I'm going to a seminar, so get off work when it's time.
- Yes, I will. See you tomorrow. - Okay. See you.
(International Leather Fair)
It's today.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going leather shopping.
Are you still upset?
Try to talk about it with Do Gyeong.
See you.
He must be very upset.
In fact, I would be feel the same if I were him.
My goodness. Hello.
Hello.
Aren't you getting in?
My goodness.
It will work fine soon.
Wait a while.
I can't get a signal.
If you have a phone, call for help.
(Emergency calls only)
Is there no signal here?
I can't get it either.
What should I do?
Come to the back.
Standing at the back is safer than standing there.
Hey. Excuse me.
Be quiet, please.
I... All right.
Calm down. We'll be okay.
