Welcome. Are you here to teach?
Yes. Nice to meet you.
Mi Jin, come and say hello.
He's your tutor.
Mom, I'm not going to study so...
You?
(Episode 10)
You're my tutor?
Mi Jin, what's wrong with you?
Mom.
That's the jerk who ruined my handbag.
What?
Then he just disappeared because he didn't want to pay me back.
You want me to learn from someone like him?
Are you crazy?
Wait. Mi Jin. Mi Jin.
Wait here a bit.
Why did he send someone like him?
Mi Jin.
- Mi Jin. - Send him away.
How can I study with someone like that?
Your dad sent him.
No, over my dead body.
- Send him away right now. - My goodness.
What are you doing?
Mi Jin.
Darn it.
I don't think...
you can do anything here today, just go home.
My daughter is adamant. She won't learn from you.
I understand.
He didn't even beg. Why is he so stiff?
Honey, why did you send over someone like that?
What do you mean?
Mi Jin's tutor.
He turned out to be the one who ruined her handbag.
What are you talking about?
This guy ruined Mi Jin's brand-new handbag.
He disappeared without apologizing...
or compensating her.
Would Mi Jin want to study with someone like that?
As soon as she saw him, she threw a fit and wanted him gone...
Hang up.
I'm busy. Let's talk at home.
Hello? Darling!
Why did he hang up? I wasn't done talking.
Why did he send someone like that?
Sir.
Here's the report on how to improve the construction plan.
What? You're done already?
Let me have a look. "Promotion strategy."
"We should install oil boilers instead"?
It's a high-end apartment complex, so for safety and efficiency's sake,
I think oil boilers would be better than coal furnaces.
Mr. Han, how did you think of that?
You're amazing.
I thought you got promoted because you worked in Vietnam. I was wrong.
Who doesn't know this?
We're hesitant because oil's expensive.
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Hwang, sir.
Yes, of course.
Did you do something wrong?
The CEO wants to see you.
Yes, sir.
What's your friend like?
The tutor you recommended.
He did well in school since he was young...
and had a bright future.
He studied law at Hanguk University and just took the bar.
We grew up together like brothers.
- He took the bar this year? - Yes.
What's his personality like?
He's prudent and diligent.
Once he takes on a job, he will see it through.
Is that so?
- Is he an experienced tutor? - Very much so.
His family is poor.
I understand.
Tell him I'd like to see him.
What for?
Something upsetting happened today and...
he left without teaching my daughter.
I'd like to meet him in person.
Yes, sir.
- Nilliriya nilliri, nilliri mambo - A man in a yellow shirt
Nilliriya nilliri, nilliri mambo
- Nil... - Hey.
You aren't too bad. You sound like a real singer.
I want to be a singer for a reason.
I guess so.
My dad said so long ago.
"Bok Shil, you have the voice of a nightingale,"
"so become a singer and make the world happy."
That's why I never dreamed of being anything else.
I don't want to be anything but a singer.
If only your dad were around,
you'd have become a singer long ago.
Hey. Do you think it's really okay to go to Vietnam?
What if we're bombed like Kyung Ho's office was?
Quit it if you're scared.
I'll pass the audition,
become a singer, and go to Vietnam.
I'll become a singer too.
Do you think I like doing nothing at home?
Then watch what you say.
If we get caught even before we start, I will kill you.
That's what I should say.
You should watch your own tongue.
- Nilliriya nilliri, nilliri mambo - A man in a yellow shirt
You go ahead and see if...
Kyung Ho's parents went to work.
Why?
I want to kill time in your room.
If I go home now, they'll realize I quit the factory.
Okay.
Also, lend me your clothes.
You have pretty clothes.
You're right. Singing isn't just about a good voice.
Good looks, a good body...
I have all that already.
Go on inside.
Bok Shil.
Jeong Hoon.
You didn't go to the factory? What are you doing here?
Well, the thing is...
Come in, Kyung Ho's parents went to...
Did you quit the...
Did you quit the factory? You pretended to leave for work.
Jeong Hoon, keep it a secret.
Please.
Pretend you don't know for a few days. Just a few days.
Let's go inside.
Hey, what'll you do now?
It'll be fine. He won't tell anyone.
I'm home.
You're back already? Don't you have a tutoring today?
I left early today.
Did you just go to say hello?
- Yes. - Okay.
Grandma, your puppy's home early too.
What's the occasion?
You shouldn't be off work so early.
I finished my workload early.
I'm tired. Grandma, I'm tired.
Did you really get off work early?
That's why I'm back.
I'm tired, Grandma. I'm exhausted.
Then go inside and rest.
Jeong Hoon.
Tell Mom.
I will in a few days.
Don't tell her until then, okay?
You must tell her.
I will.
I don't like lying to Mom.
I hate myself for it too.
I trust you won't tell anyone.
Where did you get this scarf? I haven't seen it before.
Yes, well...
Hang on.
I saw something like this before.
Where did I see it?
It looks familiar.
Go and rest.
Okay...
Hello, ma'am.
Hello again.
- Did you just leave work? - Yes.
Do you want some steamed buns?
Yes, please.
Are you married?
- Me? - You must be tired after work...
and you usually buy groceries.
I'm not married.
I live with my aunt.
I see.
I like you more all the time.
Some family would love to have you as their daughter-in-law.
Thank you for thinking so highly of me.
Enjoy the buns.
Thank you. I hope you have a good day.
Auntie.
Auntie, come and eat.
Okay.
Gosh, my head aches.
Oh dear.
Hangover soup?
Yes, have some.
Can't you drink less alcohol?
You're nagging again?
I feel better now that I had this soup.
You made the best hangover soup even as a kid.
When I was told to take you in after your mom died,
I was in despair.
I'm always grateful that you took me in.
You should be.
It's rare for a single woman to adopt a niece.
But then, if we count the bowls of soup you cooked for me,
we're even.
Even as a kid, with your tiny hands,
you'd cook the best hangover soup ever.
I could've become homeless if it hadn't been for my soup.
Stop dating that fool.
I told you yesterday...
that I'd find you a great guy.
Have some rice, Auntie.
No, this will do.
These steamed buns are incredible.
You're here early.
You're the one who's late.
We're not early.
Come to work on time.
You might get us into trouble with the boss too.
My goodness.
Do you have the right to say that?
Just a few days ago, you both missed work without notice.
That was because...
something had happened to our dear son.
We don't miss work all the time.
That's true.
Seamstress.
Shouldn't you marry off your great son?
I should. That's the only thing that worries me now.
How about I introduce him to a nice match?
Forget about that.
I don't need to hear about the people you know.
Why would you say that?
Mal Soon, at least hear what she has to say.
What's the lady like?
I can't praise her enough.
She's pretty. She's amazingly good-looking.
Is she?
A woman needs to be pretty, doesn't she?
She's not just a pretty face.
She's sweet, hard-working, and honest.
She’s so incredibly diligent too.
Who is she? What does her family do?
She's my niece. Her age is...
Your niece?
Didn't you say your niece works at a factory?
She does.
Has this woman completely lost her mind?
What? "Woman"?
You want to introduce my son to who? Your factory-worker niece?
I should just...
I will kill you where you stand. Come here.
- Mal Soon, please stop. - Let go of me!
Let go!
What are you doing?
Get a grip, people!
My goodness, sir.
I really can't stand it this time.
Stop it!
Oh, my goodness!
- Stop it. - Stop!
Choon Ja, Dad's home.
Welcome home.
- What were you doing in there? - Cooking.
Cooking? Dinner?
Yes. You told me to make myself useful at home.
So, you cooked dinner?
Yes, that's how you learn what to do.
Then I can marry you off or...
What's this smell?
The rice is burning.
Is this a burning smell?
If the rice is burning, you must take it off the furnace.
I didn't know that.
Go on inside. I'll do the rest.
I did my best.
- Dad, shall I become a singer? - What?
Why that, all of a sudden?
You told me to do something.
Yes, but that's so random.
You know, me and Bok...
What? Bok-what?
It's nothing. I'm hungry.
- I'm hungry. - Bok-what?
What should I do with the rice?
What a waste.
The guy we met today won't do.
Find someone else.
We don't need someone else.
Dad, I won't study.
Must I say the same thing again?
Then find someone else.
I won't study with a loser like him.
What happened, Mi Jin?
Don't even ask. She told me and I couldn't believe it.
He ruined her bag...
and told her to apologize, then...
Will you stop it?
Mi Jin, stop complaining and prepare to study.
I said I don't want to.
How can I learn from someone like him? Whatever.
How dare she?
Why force her?
Just find another tutor.
Sang Pil.
The singer audition is in two days, right?
Yes.
Good luck.
I'll send over someone from my team to help you out.
- Thank you, sir. - No problem.
He always does what he wants.
Auntie, don't you think Mr. Hwang would've...
recommended someone trustworthy?
Mi Jin doesn't like him.
I didn't like him either.
He seemed too stiff and arrogant.
- Sang Pil. - Mi Jin.
Can you talk to my dad for me?
He never goes back on a decision he makes.
That's why I'm asking you to help me go abroad.
He can't bear to send you away. He loves you too much.
Forget it. Are you that afraid of getting on his bad side?
- Jeong Hoon. - Come in.
- I wanted to talk to you. - I see.
Did something happen at my CEO's house?
I clashed with his daughter in the street a while ago.
I was as flustered as she was.
I see.
My CEO wishes to see you in person.
He asked to see me...
and said he wanted to meet you himself.
- What for? - I don't know.
You don't want to?
I'm caught in the middle.
I recommended you to him.
I'll meet him, then.
Thank you.
Sorry for putting my position first.
- Bok Shil. - You're back from work?
Let's talk.
What did you do today?
I have a lot to do too.
Did you not tell your mom you quit working?
I said it's a secret.
Bok Shil, shall I find you a job?
- You? - Yes.
If you don't like factories, an office job, then.
Who would want to hire me?
Don't get worried too soon. I'm sure there'll be something.
Leave it, I'll manage.
What'll you do?
You're not...
going to Vietnam to sing, are you?
I said no.
Are you sure?
I don't want you to go to such a dangerous place.
Okay.
What are you doing in the dark?
What are you whispering about?
We weren't whispering.
What's all that?
Why are you carrying urine vats?
Oh, it's my business.
My livelihood.
- Livelihood? - Livelihood?
From now on, Grandma and Mom, you put your pee in these.
Jeong Hoon and Jeong Woo too.
Jeong Tae.
Just do as you're told. Don't you want me to make money?
You aren't making sense.
How does using these make money?
Haven't you heard of urine exports?
We export urine?
That's so embarrassing.
It's not, Grandma.
People make medicine and all sorts of things with urine.
He's right. The government's promoting this business.
See, I knew you'd know.
No way.
- Watch it. - What was that for?
Just do as I say, okay?
Grandma, drink a lot of water before going to sleep...
and fill that vat up for me, okay?
Okay. If you want to stop fighting...
and earn some decent money,
I'll do that for you.
Thank you.
Do your best. I'll help you out.
Me too. I'll do anything to help Jeong Tae change his ways.
Applaud.
Thank you, everyone.
Coal burns so fast these days.
Mr. Kim, reduce the size of the vent so it burns slower.
A briquette a day is all you need.
It's not.
You have no one to hug at night.
He has to at least have a warm floor.
I guess so.
- Hello. - Hi.
You're all home.
What's that you're carrying?
Why do you have urine vats?
This?
- Jeong Tae. - Hi.
Jeong Tae, how are you?
Why are you here?
I started a business.
Take one of these each.
A business?
- Oh, you'll export urine? - Yes.
Drink lots of water...
and fill these with urine.
Thank you.
Gosh, that's disgusting.
You want to export urine?
Don't worry.
Mal Soon will have this full by the morning.
Well done.
You should work so your mom can worry less.
I'll support you by filling this as best I can.
Thanks.
Good luck. I'll help you.
Me too.
I don't need your help. Don't bother me.
I said I'll help.
I said no thanks.
Jeez.
What song should I sing?
You're not going to Vietnam to sing, are you?
I said no.
I don't want you to go to such a dangerous place.
Why do you always say no?
Can't you at least support me?
(Daeguk Construction)
(Hwang Chang Shik, CEO)
Come in.
Oh, hello.
Sir, this is Oh Jeong Hoon.
My CEO.
Nice to meet you. I'm Oh Jeong Hoon.
Good to see you. Have a seat.
Sir, I'll let you chat.
Yes, you can get back to work.
What were you thinking about?
You can't be here willingly.
Kyung Ho's caught in the middle,
and I thought it was right to visit an adult who wishes to see me.
You couldn't refuse the invitation from Daeguk Construction's CEO?
I'm here because I think you're a father concerned for his daughter.
Aren't there many other parents who...
want you to tutor their kids?
I agreed to take the job,
so I'm partially responsible.
I see.
- You took the bar this year? - Yes.
Do you think you'll pass?
Oh dear.
I shouldn't have asked. I apologize.
It's okay.
Jeong Hoon.
Please teach Mi Jin.
It's tough to admit to this myself,
but if you met her, you'll know.
She's my only child and I spoiled her, so she's rude.
Teaching her won't be an easy task,
but you're right, I'm a concerned father.
Please teach her.
I ask you again.
Yes, sir.
What?
He's coming back?
Right now?
Okay, okay.
I'll keep Mi Jin at home.
Why did he meet the guy when Mi Jin doesn't even like him?
Gosh.
Where are you going?
Shopping, I feel frustrated.
- You can't go out. - Why not?
Your dad... You just can't.
Oh, my back hurts.
Mi Jin, come over here and massage my back.
Get the helper to.
She went to get groceries.
Can't you do it for me?
My back hurts.
Who's that?
I don't know. Who could it be?
Is your back okay now?
Hello.
Mom!
Go on upstairs. Second floor.
Okay.
Stop right there. Hey!
Do you think I'll study?
Come with me.
What are you doing, Mom? You're hurting me.
Go and study.
If you don't, your dad will scold me instead.
Or you deal with your dad.
Come with me.
- You're hurting me. - Walk.
Oh dear. Come along.
It's that room right there.
Let go of me.
Just get in there.
I'm exhausted.
Sit down.
Open the door, Mom!
Sit down and study, Mi Jin.
Open the door!
How far did you get?
You want to teach me?
It's our first day.
Let's decide on a goal and schedule.
What are you doing? Stop it right now.
You haven't studied at all.
Leave them!
Sit down. Don't make me repeat myself.
Do you need money that badly? Will you die without this job?
Fine. Then I'll pay you.
Will that do?
Speak politely from now on.
Will you stay standing?
Hey!
Go. Get lost, you beggar!
Go, get out, leave!
Jeong Hoon, you look tired.
Should I not have asked to see you?
Seeing you is a break to me.
I survived the hard times...
because you were with me.
That's good to hear.
I can't live without you.
- Let's go, Soon Young. - Where to?
This is where I live.
What?
I want to introduce you to my mom and Grandma.
Jeong Hoon, this is too sudden.
It's okay, it's just to say hi.
Still, let's do it next time.
I'm not ready to meet your family.
Why is that?
I'm not good enough for you.
Don't say that. You're too good for me.
Come inside.
Soon Young.
Bok Shil.
- You know our Bok Shil? - What?
What are you doing here with my brother?
Your brother?
She's your sister?
Were you two dating?
You were. She gave you that scarf.
You knitted it at the factory.
Are you two dating?
Bok Shil, I...
We are.
You're right.
No way. I never imagined that you'd have a girlfriend.
She works at a factory.
What's wrong about that?
You shouldn't say that. You work at one too.
If you know her, you know what she's like.
Jeong Hoon.
I know that Soon Young's a good person.
But...
Were you going to introduce her to us?
Jeong Hoon, I should go.
Bok Shil, see you around.
Soon Young.
Talk to her tomorrow.
She's flustered.
When did you start dating?
How long has it been that you'd bring her home?
Mom and Grandma will be so shocked.
I'll introduce her soon, so...
That's enough.
I know what you'll say.
I was really surprised just now,
but I know what you mean.
But you need to keep my secret as well.
Let's help each other out just for a while.
No?
Come on, I have an important appointment tomorrow.
What is it?
I can't tell you,
but it's really important to me,
so cheer me on.
(Singer Audition for Vietnam Show)
- We'll have many talented singers. - Hello.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
Do your best for me. Do your best.
Take your seats.
Let's sit.
- Hello. - Thanks for coming.
It's larger than I thought.
How can I help?
Can you coordinate from behind the stage? Over there.
Okay. Good luck.
(Singer Audition for Vietnam Show)
Hey, I need to go to the toilet.
Hurry, then.
Gosh, she came here as well?
Bok Shil.
- Kyung Ho. - Why are you...
Are you here to audition?
- Yes. - You said you wouldn't.
Did you lie to me?
I happened to.
I'm busy. See you later.
I told you not to do it.
Just go home, Bok Shil. Please.
Why are you stopping me? I want to do this.
I don't want you to.
Do as I say.
- I'll do it. - Bok Shil.
Why do you keep saying no?
I'm going.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Here's the next participant.
Kim Marilyn, please come out.
(Singer Audition for Vietnam Show)
1, 2, 3.
(Singer Audition for Vietnam Show)
The man in the yellow shirt
He is so silent
For some reason I like him
For some reason he's my type
The shiny...
What's this smell?
A lot of things happened today.
I guess that's how nervous people feel when on stage.
Here's the next participant.
Please welcome Oh Se Ra.
Oh Se Ra?
Hello, I'm Oh Se Ra...
(Through the Waves)
- I think you'll pass. - Right?
What would I win?
- Bok Shil. - Let go.
I don't want to talk to you.
You understand?
- Hey, Oh Jeong Tae! - "Hey"?
Do you know that I like you or not?
I want to do what I like doing and what I'm good at.
You can't do that, Bok Shil.
Let's see if you win or I do.
Bok Shil, what I'm about to say might seem too sudden.
I'll make you regret failing me, so don't ever forget me.
But, I thought I should tell you one day.
