Soon Young.
Jeong Hoon. Why are you here?
Soon Young.
Let's go on a trip.
A trip?
What are you talking about? Why go on a sudden trip?
We dated for four years...
and never went on a trip.
Can you call to say you can't come to work?
Yes, I can, but...
That's it, then. Let's go.
Jeong Hoon.
Where are they off to together this morning?
Soon Young.
Jeong Hoon.
(Episode 28)
Where's Jeong Hoon?
- Jeong Woo, get your brother. - Okay.
I hope he pulls himself together soon.
Don't worry about him, Grandma.
Failing the bar doesn't mean his life is ruined.
He's a smart guy. I'm sure he has a plan.
Eat your breakfast.
Bok Shil, you need to hurry and get ready for work.
Okay.
Mom, I start working today too.
Working?
- You got a job? - Yes.
Where at? Will you be fighting...
It's not like that.
I'm a floor manager at a small place.
I do errands of all sorts and monitor the staff.
Mom, Jeong Hoon's not in his room.
He's not in? He went out?
Yes. He left this.
What does it say?
He went to get some fresh air...
and doesn't want us to worry.
Yes, don't worry, Mom.
I guess he went somewhere to cheer himself up.
I said I won't go with you.
She's really good.
I want to know if it works out with Oh Jeong Hoon.
Let's go and ask.
Why should we ask a fortune teller about Jeong Hoon and me?
Because I'm frustrated.
She'll definitely say he's not for you.
Let's go and make things sure.
- Come with me. - Mom!
Well? Do you see his fortune?
He's clever and smart. He'll do great things.
He passed the bar.
Then what?
He's the eldest from a dirt poor family.
The problem is,
that man will give her a hard time.
What hard time?
She likes him more than he does.
Are you saying he doesn't like Mi Jin?
Let me see.
What is it?
- A woman... - A woman?
He has a woman?
I see her then I don't.
What does that mean?
Will you tell me properly?
I see her for a while, then I don't.
Forget it. Who believes in fortunes?
Mom, let's go.
Will you sit and stay still?
We have to hear her out.
- We're leaving. - What?
It's so refreshing.
I feel so uplifted.
It's so refreshing.
I haven't seen you laugh in a while.
It's good to see you laugh.
- Is it? - Yes.
How did you think of coming to an island?
You said you'd never seen the sea.
"The Island Teacher."
That movie made you want to visit an island.
You remembered that?
Of course.
That's why I wanted to bring you here.
Stop.
Do you hear that?
I do too.
That was scary.
You go now.
Be careful.
Pile more on.
Thank you, Jeong Hoon,
for bringing me to an island and showing me the sea.
I'd done nothing for you...
while we were dating.
That's not true.
Your love for me made me so happy.
The four years with you...
were the happiest and...
most precious time of my life.
After my dad went...
My family always said that...
I'm the man of the house.
The pillar that supports everyone.
All the time.
The burden was a huge weight on my shoulders,
and I lived with the pressure all my life.
Then I met you...
and for the first time in my life...
I felt comfortable.
I felt happy and relaxed.
You never gave me any pressure...
and never demanded anything.
You always tried to make me feel at ease...
and warmed my heart.
I felt happy and not at all lonely...
because of you.
And I was grateful.
"Do I deserve to like someone like you?"
That was always at the back of my mind.
Your family weren't pleased to see me when I first visited,
and then my aunt upset everyone.
If you hadn't helped me stay strong,
what would've happened?
You told me to believe you.
You don't know how grateful I was when you said that.
I will...
remember that for the rest of my life.
You told me to believe you.
Soon Young.
Don't worry too much that you failed the bar.
Let's help each other go forward.
I'll be your strength.
- Welcome back, sir. - Hi.
You aren't done yet?
We're almost done.
I visited the Seoul newspaper...
and TV companies myself.
Send these to the local stations.
It's a new release, so call...
and ask them to play it.
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
I'm done.
Can I listen to some music?
Take these to the post office...
and send them to the regional TV stations.
Why should I do that?
Mr. Cha told you to go.
I have to make the calls to ask them to play it.
You head to the post office.
(Lucky Entertainment)
It's so darn heavy.
What's your problem?
Sorry.
(Bae Ho's Greatest Hits)
It's broken.
Oh no.
No...
Bring me a copy of...
our singers' schedules.
Okay.
Where's Se Ra?
I sent her to the post office to send the records.
You're back already?
You didn't post the albums?
- I smashed them on the way. - You what?
I bumped into a bike and dropped the box.
The records all broke.
Did you throw them away?
Should I bring back the pieces?
Do you know how many years...
a singer must work to release an album?
An album is a singer's life, their everything.
How can you say you threw them away so easily?
Do you think you can mistreat someone else's album?
Who said I mistreated them?
I dropped the box.
You were careless because you didn't want to go.
What can you do with that kind of mindset?
You don't deserve to become a singer.
I didn't break them on purpose.
Ever since I joined,
I did as you said. I cleaned and ran errands.
I'm doing everything a laborer does.
Do you think I want to do this?
I'm putting up with it because you said you'd make me a singer.
Are you done?
Leave them.
I'll take them to the post office.
I said leave them.
Will you smash those records too?
Let Jin Kyu take them.
I didn't smash them because...
I didn't know how precious an album is to a singer.
Or mistreat them because they were someone else's.
Don't say I don't...
deserve to sing because I made a mistake.
You might be a CEO, but you have no right to judge people.
She has quite a temper.
And she's determined.
She can't survive the industry without determination.
You're done for the day?
Your life seems so relaxed.
Don't even say that.
I'm being branded a thief and it's so upsetting.
Kyung Ho's money really disappeared? They didn't find it?
How can they find what a thief took?
Are you here to check in case I took it?
Don't say that.
I'm just worried about Kyung Ho.
Don't you dare worry about Kyung Ho in front of me.
That money is the reason people think I'm a thief.
You know what that money is.
Kyung Ho risked his life in a war zone to save that up.
And they lost it all.
I didn't take it!
- Kyung Ho. - Bok Shil.
You didn't find your money?
What now?
You worked in a war zone to save that up.
You must be so upset.
If I feel like his, you must feel worse.
I'm more worried about Mom.
She was so excited about moving.
She's so disappointed.
I sold the radio you bought for me in Vietnam...
and your mom lost the money you saved up.
That's just terrible.
Thanks for your concern.
Why are you thanking me?
Is my being worried about you something to thank me for?
Go on home. Your mom should be in.
- Yes. See you later. - Okay.
Mom.
What's all this?
Kyung Ho.
It's gone. The money's gone.
Mom.
I searched the whole room just in case and it's gone.
What should I do about this?
A thief took it.
Who could that be?
I have no time to waste.
Where will you go?
Your dad hasn't been coming...
to work or home.
We must find him first.
He'll come home.
Stay here today.
You're in no state to go out.
That money meant so much.
You earned that by risking your life.
I'll find your dad...
and ask him who took it.
My goodness.
Is my husband not here yet?
It looks really serious.
The boss is planning to let the replacements he found...
for your husband and Johnny Kim stay on.
Where can I find my husband?
Your husband's been missing work and not coming home?
- Come in. - Gosh.
Seamstress, give your husband a message.
I fired him and Johnny.
Tell him not to show himself near my cabaret.
You might as well quit too.
Mal Soon.
What are you doing here, Jeong Tae?
Wait, you know each other?
Who's this young man?
He's our new floor manager.
- Say hello. - I see.
Nice to meet you, manager.
Same here.
Mr. Jo's pretty handsome,
but so is the new floor manager.
He'll manage everything for me.
Help him out when he asks for something.
Sure thing.
Let's go.
He looks kind of familiar.
How do you know him, seamstress?
Where should I find this fool?
Why did you fire the musicians?
Who?
Oh, Saxophone and Guitar Man?
They went absent without leave.
Do you know the seamstress well?
She lives across from me.
Does she?
It's soon time to open.
Go and check the bars and floor.
Go on, Yong Chil.
Escort the new manager and show him around.
Manager, my foot. Let's go.
You fool.
Treat him with respect.
Let's go. Sir.
Why did he resist when he was going to work for me anyway?
That felt so good. You can stop now.
I'll massage you a little more.
My goodness.
You aren't that good at sewing. Ask your mom to do it.
I'm done.
- I'm off to bed now. - Good night.
Jeong Woo, that's enough. Go to your room now.
- I'd like to lie down. - Okay.
Mom, Jeong Tae said he'd be working late.
Okay.
Jeong Hoon isn't coming home tonight?
I don't know. He went to get some fresh air.
I hope he comes back a changed man.
She said she saw a woman...
around that Oh Jeong Hoon guy.
What are you saying? You saw a fortune teller again?
I took Mi Jin with me.
She saw a woman with him.
Stick to the facts.
She saw her then she didn't.
It's the same thing.
I don't care if Jeong Hoon's seeing someone else.
If she's visible and then not,
it could mean she isn't significant.
Or even nonexistent.
She even said he'd give you a hard time.
Why did you take Mi Jin there?
Because I'm frustrated.
She's besotted with him and can't see reason.
That's not a place you should take your daughter to.
Why are you so foolish?
Why are you yelling at me?
I'm sure she just wanted some counsel.
It's Mi Jin's marriage we're talking about. She's concerned.
Sang Pil's the only person in this house who understands me.
Why you...
Mi Jin, why did you follow your mom there?
Do you think I wanted to go?
She dragged me there.
I should go upstairs too.
Good night.
Sang Pil.
I'll send a new trainee over tomorrow.
Look after her.
What?
How do you know this person?
You don't need to know.
- Go on upstairs. - Okay.
Mi Jin.
About Jeong Hoon.
I understand how your mom feels.
What do you mean?
You can marry someone with a much better background.
Aren't you being too rash?
That's what your mom's worried about.
That sounds like you don't want me to marry Jeong Hoon.
It's not like that.
No? Why does it sound like that, then?
You were never on my side...
when it came to discussing Jeong Hoon.
That was for your sake.
I think you should be more cautious.
I don't need you to look out for me.
I can take care of my own issues.
The lady let me use the kitchen, so I did.
Enjoy yourself.
Thanks.
It felt strange cooking in the kitchen.
It's the first time I ever cooked for you.
It is.
I think I'll remember this meal forever.
I'll cook you much nicer things in the future.
Eat up.
Okay.
You haven't been looking too well.
Eat all you want.
You too.
Let's see...
Aren't you cold?
No.
Here.
I said I'm fine.
You must feel cold.
Not while I'm with you.
Thank you, Jeong Hoon.
For what?
I've never felt...
this happy in my whole life.
The whole day felt like a dream.
- Did it? - Yes.
Thank you, Soon Young.
You made me happy...
while you were with me.
I'll stay with you from now on.
I wish this night never ended.
Me too.
I want this to last forever.
For my whole life,
I'll never love anyone as much as you.
- Dad. - Thanks.
- Do you feel better? - No.
Don't be too upset. Let it go.
I'm off to work.
- You're leaving for work? - Yes.
Did your dad not come home last night?
No.
Sorry, Mr. Kim. Sorry, Choon Ja.
My mom's not in her right mind. I hope you understand.
You too, Choon Ja.
You needn't apologize.
Oh dear.
You must be upset as well.
Choon Ja, Dad's off to work.
- Okay. - Bye.
- Off to work? - Yes.
Jeong Tae, why are you here? To see me?
Why would I do that?
- Are you very upset? - Just a bit.
Cheer up.
- You can always save up again. - Sure.
I started working at the cabaret your parents work at.
Really?
Your dad missed work for a few days...
and they hired his replacement.
Your mom will be quite upset.
Do you think your dad's involved with the missing money?
- I have to go to work. - Okay.
I shouldn't have said that. Let's go.
Jeong Tae.
You work at a cabaret now?
I just said so. Why must you ask again?
Are your ears full of wax? Do they need cleaning?
That place is full of women.
They wear clothes like this.
Don't work there. You'll ruin your standards.
I am right now.
Because of you.
Why are you here?
I was waiting for you. To walk to work together.
- Really? - Yes.
To see you and tell you to cheer up.
Thank you.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Is the CEO in?
He's not here yet.
- Who are you? - You don't need to know.
Get me a coffee.
Who are you that you ask for coffee right away?
Don't they train the cleaners around here?
I'm not a cleaner.
If you want a coffee, make it yourself.
Hey. How dare you talk to me like that?
Do you know who I am?
Who are you? How dare you belittle someone?
Are you Mr. Cha Sang Pil?
You must've heard about me from Daeguk Construction's Mr. Hwang.
I'm Hye Rin.
Oh, right. Come in.
You might as well say hi.
This is Oh Se Ra, a trainee.
Hye Rin's also a trainee.
You're a trainee?
Not a cleaner?
Mr. Han.
Where's the report on the projects in Vietnam?
I'll finish it up soon.
Mr. Hwang put you in charge because you lived there for a year.
Do you think you're above me now?
No, sir.
I was busy working on the report on the domestic projects.
I'll finish it soon.
Hand it to me if you need help.
No, I'll do it.
Hello?
Mr. Han, it's for you.
Han Kyung Ho from Daeguk Construction's Planning Office.
Dad.
(Daeguk Construction)
Dad.
Kyung Ho.
What happened?
You must be hungry.
I am.
I'm less than human.
I lost all your money. I'm a monster.
I must have lost my mind, Kyung Ho.
He lured me saying he'd make me the leader of a performing troupe.
I just went with it.
When did I lure you?
It happened because we just tried to make a better living.
You took me to the gambling den.
That's how we lost my son's precious savings.
We lost it because you bet it all on one game.
Is that my fault?
- Why you... - Stop it.
Come home with me, Dad.
I wouldn't dare come home.
Your mom will beat me to death.
Okay, fine, whatever. Fools like me...
deserve to be beaten to death.
Stupid me.
Let go.
Oh dear...
Mal Soon, what's wrong?
Why do I feel so nauseated...
when I didn't eat anything?
Choon Ja, can you pat my back?
Why should I do that?
Choon Sam.
It was you?
Did you take Kyung Ho's money?
Honey. Mal Soon, darling.
I deserve to die.
How dare you even talk back at me?
Save me, Kyung Ho. Kyung Ho.
Save me.
Come over here.
I'll kill you and kill myself today.
- Come here. - Mom.
- Mom, calm down. - Honey. Mal Soon.
- Come here. - I'm so scared.
Please don't hurt me, darling.
- Come here. - Save me.
- Honey, stop. - Come here.
- Come here. - Save me.
- Kyung Ho, she'll kill me! - Come here!
- I'm dying! - You...
I'll go home to see if Jeong Hoon's back.
You watch the stall.
Okay. I can manage on my own,
- so don't worry. - Okay.
Hello.
How are you?
Fine, thanks.
Did Jeong Hoon come home last night?
Why would you ask that?
Soon Young didn't come home either.
I'm sure they were together.
What?
Yesterday morning, Jeong Hoon came for Soon Young...
and I saw them leave together.
If they both didn't come home, it's obvious what happened.
I heard that your mother-in-law decided to accept Soon Young...
and the kids spent the night together.
Shouldn't we set a date for the wedding?
I did cause a scene at your place twice,
but Soon Young's not like me.
You must know that now.
I'll watch how I act so that...
I don't cause any problems for Jeong Hoon.
Don't you worry.
Let's marry them off soon, okay?
Okay.
Hey, Mr. Kim.
- Madam Gu. - You haven't been coming by.
Don't you miss me at all?
I was very busy.
Mother, is Jeong Hoon back?
No, not yet.
Why isn't he back yet when he just went for some air?
Don't worry too much. He'll be home soon.
I shouldn't worry?
Why are you suddenly so relaxed?
Is anyone home?
Hello.
Is Jeong Hoon home?
Who are you?
Why ask for my son?
Are you his mother?
I'm the student he tutored.
I was here once before but no one was home.
The daughter of the CEO of the company Kyung Ho works at.
Is that you?
Are you his grandmother?
Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry.
Jeong Hoon's not home.
- Is he in training? - What?
Yes.
Why did you want to see him?
He's in no circumstance to teach anyone.
I know that. I'm here for another reason.
What other reason?
If it's something I can relay to him, tell me.
We don't know when he'll be home.
Sorry.
I'd like to talk to him in person.
You must be tired.
You don't have to take me home.
Will you be in trouble because you missed work?
Don't worry about that.
Your aunt must be worried.
I said it's fine.
You should go.
- Go on inside. - You leave first.
I'll see you go inside.
Okay.
You need to go home and rest.
I'll hurry home.
Bye.
Soon Young.
What?
It's nothing.
I wanted to see your face.
You're so silly.
Go on home.
Jeong Hoon.
Where were you?
Your mom and I were so worried.
We can talk later.
Go to your room. You have a visitor.
Jeong Hoon.
I said I wanted to wait,
so your mother told me to wait in your room.
Is this where you studied and slept?
Come outside.
Are you upset I was in your room?
Let's go outside. I have something to say.
Welcome.
What do you want to say?
Jeong Hoon.
Do you like me?
I said I never liked a man as much as I like you.
Does it sound like a lie?
So you want to marry me?
Yes.
I want to make you mine.
I want to marry you.
Okay.
- Let's do it. - What?
- Jeong Hoon. - Marriage.
Let's do it.
(Through the Waves)
You changed me.
You won't say you like me.
I'll ask you one thing.
What about your woman? Did you end it with her?
He wants to marry Mi Jin for our money.
He's not marrying her because he likes her.
- Shouldn't we rush the wedding? - We should.
Come on outside.
I'll watch them carefully.
Give them a chance.
As you know, it's tit for tat.
Do you know why I don't want to go on blind dates?
- What are you going to say? - Let's...
- It's because of you. - What?
Jeong Hoon.
