I said let go of me.
Let's have some fun.
Don't be so difficult.
Come with me.
Let go. Let go of me!
Let her go!
- Let go. - Who are you?
I said let her go.
What are you, her lover?
Yes.
Let her go.
You jerk.
You can't even take a punch.
Come with me. Come along.
You fool.
Oh dear. Are you okay?
Try and stop them.
You scumbag.
My gosh.
(Episode 14)
Let's go.
Hey. Hey!
Let me go!
Hey. Why did you get involved?
Why did you interrupt just like that?
What a joke.
Why did you let her go to a club?
You should've kept her at home.
How was I to know this would happen?
Did you have to be out of your office?
Do you know how many times I called you?
Sorry, Auntie. I'll head over right away.
Mi Jin, are you okay?
Let me see if you're hurt.
- Oh no... - Stop it.
What happened to your face?
He started a fight to save me from a guy...
who was being clingy.
Oh dear. You need some ointment on that.
Let me get something. Hey.
He's not that badly hurt. Don't make a fuss.
Hwang Mi Jin.
I'm fine.
It's late. I should go.
Yes, go home.
Forget about studying today.
Come in with me.
Your family will be shocked to see you like that.
Do that.
For everyone's peace of mind.
You haven't met?
He is Mi Jin's distant relative.
Nice to meet you, I'm Cha Sang Pil.
Hello, I'm Oh Jeong Hoon.
I can't believe you're saying hello.
I'm really done studying with tutors.
Send me abroad to Italy.
Why...
I should get going.
- I have to meet someone. - Do you?
Take my car. I'll lend it to you.
No, sir. Goodbye.
Thank you. Take care.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- I'll get Mi Jin. - Leave her.
Why?
She went to a club to avoid her tutor.
And she talked about going abroad.
I said leave her alone.
I'm sure she felt something today.
Do that, Auntie. I'm sure Mi Jin's still rattled.
I should've taken better care of her. Sorry.
He's pretty impressive.
I thought he was a bookworm...
but he's willing to fight for Mi Jin.
My goodness.
- Soon Young. - Jeong Hoon.
Sorry for making you wait.
Your face is a mess.
What happened?
It's nothing.
How is this nothing?
It must hurt.
What did you do?
What happened?
Your hands are frozen.
Sorry we missed the movie.
Don't worry about that.
Why won't you tell me? I'm worried.
The student I'm teaching got into trouble.
What kind?
I don't know what happened, but she ruined your scarf last time.
Do you have to teach her?
Forget I said that. Sorry.
That's your business.
But...
But what?
I just feel a bit...
Why is that?
It won't happen again.
Jeong Hoon.
Hi.
What's that?
You came home with a bruise on your face?
- I did. - What happened?
Was it...
It wasn't, was it?
Don't smile.
I can't wait to hear what Mom will say.
Mom.
I'm home.
You both came home together?
Look at you, trying to help your middle son.
I love you, Mom.
- Come here. - Leave me alone.
Why are you home so late?
Well...
What happened to you?
How did you get hurt?
He tripped up.
He fell over?
Yes, while walking up the slope with me.
There was a bit of ice.
He slipped and fell.
You should've been more careful.
- I'll go to my room. - Sure. Goodnight.
You fool.
What did you do? Nothing? Why didn't you break his fall?
Is it that funny?
What if he got hurt?
- You fool. - I don't believe this.
He's the one who fought. Don't blame me.
- What? - Nothing, nothing.
Hit me. Beat all the dust out of me.
Don't just wash the vat. Drink some water too.
How much did you drink today?
She ruined your scarf last time.
Do you have to teach her?
I said let her go.
What are you, her lover?
Yes.
Let her go.
You jerk.
Why butt in when he can't even fight?
I'm not grateful.
Why do I keep thinking of that beggar fool?
This is nowhere near enough.
Sorry, Kyung Ho.
I have no choice if I'm to make my dream come true.
Bok Shil.
Hi.
Where are you going?
You don't need to know.
You don't work anymore.
Where do you spend all your time and what do you do?
Why do you keep asking that?
Do you remember our plans for this evening?
- Yes. - Why won't you look at me?
Will you not face me anymore?
Did I say that?
What's that under your coat?
It's nothing. I have to go.
What's this?
I'm sorry. That's all the money I could get.
This isn't kid's play.
Sir.
I even sold the radio that means more to me than my life.
But this isn't enough.
I'll pay you the rest when I make money. I swear.
Can you take me in?
Sir, can you please help me out?
Okay, then. I'll forfeit my profit...
and invest in your talent.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'll work much harder.
Will you go to your office now?
We can't do that.
It's a mess because we're moving to a larger place.
Then where will we practice?
Use your stomach. Press it inwards. Harder.
If I push any harder...
Push the notes out.
That's it, breathe naturally.
Jin Kyu, are the outfits for our Vietnam show ready?
Yes, they were finished yesterday...
and I checked everyone's passports.
Good.
Many of them have never been to Vietnam,
so double-check every detail.
And pack for yourself.
Yes, sir.
Oh, did you find out what I asked you to?
- Se Ra's singing institute? - Yes.
There isn't one called Swan.
- There isn't? - No.
It's not registered with...
the association.
Okay, get to work. I need to go out.
Goodbye.
Oh Se Ra.
Are you a regular here?
I should come here to find you, then.
I don't want to see your face anymore.
You don't need anything because you go to a singing institute?
How do you know about that?
That guy from Lucky Entertainment?
I don't know what business you have with Lucky Entertainment,
but yes, I'm with Swan Singing Institute.
I bet I'll debut soon.
Too bad.
There's no institute called Swan.
What do you mean there isn't?
It doesn't exist.
Did you check properly?
What do you take me for?
Are you jealous that I might debut soon?
Do you want to ruin my chances?
I don't have...
even this much interest in you.
So stop being silly and go on your way.
Oh Se Ra.
Look more carefully into that institute.
I know about this industry and there's no...
Stop showing interest in me.
Don't even show that you know me.
Goodness.
Sang Man.
You're now a civil servant.
The government pays you, so you must work hard.
Why are you slacking off at home...
and bossing us around?
As a father,
I can't ignore my child's mistake.
This issue has to be taken care of now.
I dropped by while I was out conducting government business,
so don't complain.
Mal Soon.
As of this moment,
we shall pretend and act like we're in a court of law.
The case of the missing coal briquettes.
Are they missing?
Anyway, I will interrogate these two.
I want you, Choon Sam...
to pretend you're the judge.
Bam, bam, bam.
I need you to give us a verdict.
- I'm the judge? - Yes.
You two, listen to me very carefully...
and tell the truth without a sliver of a lie.
From what I found out,
Mal Soon, you didn't order any briquettes recently.
Despite that,
there are 50 new briquettes in your kitchen.
Meanwhile, in my kitchen,
although I ordered 100 briquettes,
half, half of that number is missing...
and there are only 50.
I would like you two to explain what to make of...
the suspicious circumstances.
- I don't know anything. - Me either.
What are you saying?
Will you plead the Fifth?
Sang Man, what does that mean?
They're keeping quiet.
When criminals think they're cornered or at odds,
they choose to remain silent and that's pleading the Fifth.
What are you two doing?
Choon Ja, put your hands down.
Mal Soon.
Are you pleading the Fifth?
My goodness.
You're both killing me.
Take these too.
Is this it, sir?
You should've collected more.
Try harder.
It's so hard to earn money.
It's not worth the price of water.
I stink.
What a mess.
(Noodles)
Hey.
It's so sweet.
Why are you here?
The needle follows the thread.
Choon Ja goes where Jeong Tae goes.
What are you doing?
- Wear this. - I said no.
Why?
Do you know what I did to buy this?
You don't need to know.
Try it on. You'll look amazing in it.
Hey.
Why did you buy me clothes?
Are you my mom or what?
I'm Choon Ja, your clingy friend.
Will you wear it?
You made me lose my appetite.
How's the urine business going?
Not well because of you, okay?
You fart monster!
Don't drink this.
Your fart will stink worse afterwards.
Can't you even do that?
You let the squatters beat you up?
They fought us tooth and nail.
So you ran away?
I can't trust you with anything.
I should just...
Did you manage to talk to Oh Jeong Tae?
I met him yesterday and...
he said no, never.
Do whatever it takes. Just bring him to me.
If you can't do your job, bring him to me!
Understand?
What the heck.
Did you hear me? I'm your boss, okay?
Jeong Tae looked like he could take on hundreds.
Why is he saying no?
Gosh.
No one's here yet?
Oh dear.
Hello, boss. Good evening.
You're at work early.
Why are you two couples all coming in together?
My goodness. That was scary.
Sir, what do you mean by "couples"?
I do not want to be associated with them.
You took the words right out my mouth.
Boss, I don't want that either, not even this much.
Right, darling?
Right. You and I, we're a couple.
My goodness.
Madam Gu, you can stick with me.
What do you think you're doing?
Stop it!
Don't forget that I'm always watching you.
Get to work. Work!
What's wrong with him today?
We're just waiting for a call from you, congressman.
Please don't say that.
You work so hard for the country and people.
What wouldn't I do to help?
Yes, of course.
If a businessman like me can help a politician like you,
isn't that true patriotism?
Yes, yes, of course.
Goodbye.
Hey.
Why don't you report to my secretary first?
Shall I go back out and knock first?
Any news?
We're tearing things down right now.
Don't worry about that, boss. Sir.
Wrap it up soon.
Move. I have to go out on business.
What? I was hoping to drink with you since...
it has been a while.
You fool.
I'm not that free.
Get out of my office.
What? Take extra care this time.
What was that about?
Ma'am, I read her fortune many times.
No matter how many millions you spend,
even if you threaten my life,
your daughter can't go to university.
I told you to stop saying that.
But...
But?
But what?
- I told you last time. - Yes.
I saw a man.
If she clings to him,
it'll be many times worth...
Be quiet.
What do you take my daughter for?
My goodness.
I won't ever consult her again.
I'll revamp the whole area so she loses her spot.
Unbelievable.
He's back again.
- How are you? - I'm not doing well.
Let's talk.
Sure.
I didn't pay you to get treated yesterday.
- Take it. - No thanks.
We aren't that stingy or mean.
You can take it.
- It's really okay. - Gosh.
I never saw someone who doesn't like money.
Then...
take this instead.
Stop coming here.
That's for your troubles.
Why do you think Mi Jin went clubbing yesterday?
She never goes that far,
but I guess she thought she just couldn't study with you.
Do you still have to teach her?
Go to my husband and...
tell him that you can't teach her.
Then quit your job.
Don't you get it?
- Who said I'll quit studying? - Mi Jin.
Why are you making him quit when I said nothing?
I will study.
Come upstairs.
My gosh. What got into her?
I'll go upstairs, then.
I'm not dreaming, am I?
That hurt.
Solve the problem.
Why did you save me?
I was really horrid to you.
You regretted saving me, didn't you?
Your name is Oh Jeong Hoon?
Not too bad.
I won't call you "teacher".
I'll call you by your name.
I can't come tomorrow.
Why not? Will you quit?
Are you giving up on me?
I need to take the day off.
Sorry.
What do you have to do?
What you can't finish today is your homework.
Why are you home so early?
What's Mi Jin doing? Is she with the tutor?
Honey, honey.
I told the tutor to quit and...
You told him to do what?
No, I...
Anyway, when I said that, Mi Jin said...
"Who said I'll quit studying? Come upstairs."
She said that.
Did she really say that?
Yes.
I think that...
we should stop trying to make her study.
I heard again today that...
Mi Jin will never go to university.
Did you go to a fortune-teller?
Only because I felt so frustrated.
But the fortune-teller said something strange.
She said Mi Jin has a man.
- What? A man? - Yes.
If she grabs hold of him, it'll be better than a degree.
Is she seeing someone?
Is that why she went clubbing?
Don't be so silly. Don't you know your own daughter?
Can't you tell she isn't seeing anyone?
Tell the tutor to see me when he's done.
So we can talk.
Yes?
- Sit over there. - Thanks.
I'm sorry.
Your parents...
must've been worried when they saw you.
No, sir.
I wanted to speak with you in private.
I see.
Mi Jin agreed to let you teach her.
Did she study today?
I'll teach her harder.
Okay.
What happened last night must've made her think.
I owe that to you. I'm grateful.
It was nothing.
I'm not sure how much she'll change,
but teach Mi Jin as best you can.
She never cared much about studying.
She's only interested in fashion...
and wants to study abroad.
She's my only child and daughter, so...
I'm reluctant to let her leave home.
I forced her to stay with us.
That's why none of the tutors could stand her.
I heard that your first impressions of each other weren't great,
so she'll have given you a harder time.
Yes.
I understand why she doesn't want me to teach her.
I'm grateful that you do.
Mi Jin needs someone like you around her.
Your sense of responsibility...
is helping you put up with everything she put you through.
I see that Mi Jin can learn much more than...
just knowledge from you.
For your age,
you're quite mature and sensible.
I'll give you a raise. Do your best for Mi Jin.
No thank you.
I didn't do anything yet and the pay's enough.
You studied all your life so you're...
not like a businessmen like me.
You're a grade above us who think money solves everything.
Sir, I...
Do you have something to say?
I don't think I can go to Vietnam.
Why not? You didn't say anything this morning.
Actually,
my mom is very sick.
I can't be away for too long.
I'm sorry.
Okay. You don't need to come.
I just thought the experience would help. Don't worry.
Thanks for understanding.
Don't you think someone should go instead?
To organize everything.
I'll figure out a way.
Han Kyung Ho, Planning Office.
Mr. Cha.
Yes.
Okay.
No, I have to be in the area anyway.
I'll come over to Lucky Entertainment.
Bye.
Why go to Lucky Entertainment?
He wants to discuss something about the Vietnam show.
You're really busy, Mr. Han.
He just pretends to be busy.
To get on the CEO's good side.
Why would you say that?
Mr. Hwang told him to cooperate with Lucky.
I'll go straight home from the meeting.
(Cha Sang Pil, CEO)
Come in.
You're here.
I should've come to see you.
It's fine. What do you need?
My employee who's in charge of...
taking our team to Vietnam can't make the trip.
I was hoping you could recommend someone...
who works there or a personal friend.
- I'll report to Mr. Hwang. - Okay.
I'll ask around.
Thank you. You're a great help.
It's fine. It's my job.
Would you like some tea?
Next time. I have an appointment.
Do you? Then I'll treat you properly next time.
Sure.
What do you want to say?
There's no rush. What do you want?
Say what you want to say.
Bok Shil, I told you I'd find you a job.
As a clerk?
Yes. It's a small company.
You wanted to see me for that?
I said I'm not interested.
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho, I'm not interested. I don't want to be a clerk.
Don't say that.
I just dropped by the company. They like the idea.
Come with me tomorrow.
I said no.
Why?
Do you still want to be a singer?
Why are you so against me being a singer?
Can't you of all people understand?
Do you have to sing?
I want to do what I want.
I want to pave my own way.
Can't you just work in an office?
You really hurt me nowadays.
You used to always be on my side.
You liked anything I did.
That's why sometimes I relied on you...
more than I did my own older brothers.
Do you know how much I missed you while you were in Vietnam?
I felt so empty without you around.
I don't know why we're always like this now.
Can't you just try to understand?
Thank you. Come again.
- Mom. - What?
Jeong Woo, shall we go home for the day?
We haven't sold out.
Let's go home.
- Jeong Woo. - Mr. Kim.
Hello. Did you sell a lot?
Do you have some for me?
Yes. We were just about to pack up and leave.
Already?
Jeong Hoon's exam results come out tomorrow.
I can't focus.
It's that time already.
He'll bring good news this time.
Yes, I hope so.
Shall I help you?
No, this is my job.
You just drink more water.
How much longer must we do this?
I keep waking up in the middle of the night.
Stop complaining.
Hey.
Drink an extra bowl of water before going to sleep, okay?
- I'm home. - Hi, Jeong Hoon.
- You're home. - Yes.
Your results will be posted tomorrow, right?
Do you think you'll pass?
- Go inside and rest. - Okay.
Don't say things that will put more pressure on him.
Go to your rooms.
Okay, Mom.
- It's your fault? - How so?
Give me some.
I'm so full.
Lean back. I'll massage your legs.
I hope we get good news tomorrow.
If not, he can study again.
Some people take the exam 10 times.
Yes. It's hard on him,
but he can try again.
Shouldn't you be making buns and dumplings?
I'm thinking of taking tomorrow off.
Good idea.
Don't show that you're anxious.
You can't be more anxious than Jeong Hoon.
I know.
He knows better than anyone that...
the whole family relies on him.
I bet he can't even sleep tonight.
If you're going to do it, do it properly.
I'm massaging as hard as I can.
(9th Bar Exam Results)
Well done. Congratulations.
- You finally did it. - There it is.
- Well done, - Good job.
My goodness.
- I'm proud of you. - You studied for seven years.
You can try again.
It's okay, try again.
- It's okay. - Oh, no.
I thought he'd pass this year.
No, no...
Jeong Hoon. Any news?
It's okay.
Try again next time.
Well done, Jeong Hoon.
Soon Young.
I passed.
What?
Jeong Hoon.
(Through the Waves)
Cheers!
- Cheers. - Cheers.
I like him even more.
He's just the kind of man I was looking for.
I think Kyung Ho likes Bok Shil.
Do you have a girlfriend?
What day is it today?
- You go on stage. - On stage?
Were you this pretty?
I have to sing here?
This is where everyone starts.
I want to introduce someone to you.
I'm not here to pour drinks!
Miss.
Oh Se Ra?
