There is a rumor going around...
that the current chief is rooting for Haemyung Construction.
- Haemyung Construction? - Yes.
If the current chief joins forces with the president of Haemyung,
I'll have a hard time winning.
I need something crucial to push Haemyung off the race.
So find...
any weakness President Park has.
In order to win the election,
I need something that can knock President Park down.
Father.
Then that could turn this election into a mud fight.
Even if you do become the chief, there could be a discord.
It'll be difficult...
to lead the association then.
Wouldn't it be better...
to come up with pledges that will further advance...
the construction industry,
rather than focusing on the opponent's weakness?
Come on.
You can't do great things with that kind of naive thinking.
In order to get what you want,
you have to try every possible means.
How can you lead Daeguk Construction with that kind of mindset?
Why are you here?
I hear Haemyung...
is a strong candidate in this election.
I told you to stay out of it.
This is information on President Park.
What?
With this information,
you'll have a great chance of winning.
Yes. This is what I need right now.
With this,
I can knock President Park down with one blow.
What is that?
Oh, right. Take a look at this.
President Park is famous for being...
faithful to his family.
But I didn't know he had an illegitimate child.
How did you know about this?
A few years ago, he had a scandal with a new singer,
so I looked into it.
I see.
I was going to entrust Jeong Hoon with the election campaign,
but Sang Pil, you're being a great help.
You must become Construction Association Chief...
for the greater good of the construction industry.
So I want to help you in any way I can.
Sure. You've done very well.
Sang Pil, you know how to...
win a fight.
That's commendable.
(Episode 51)
How does Sang Pil so much about the election?
When you weren't in the office,
he came by and asked about it.
So I told him.
What?
He's shown a lot of interest in what goes on in the company.
He also helped us a lot with the joint business ventures.
So Mr. Cha and I talk about company business freely.
Even though he's running a subsidiary company,
he has nothing to do with Daeguk Construction.
I know you're close with him,
but don't talk to him about our company carelessly.
Yes, sir.
Why did you need information...
on the president of Haemyung and a new singer's illegitimate child?
You don't need to know that.
Gather all the information on other agencies' record sales.
If we want to raise Lucky Entertainment's status,
we need to know about our competitors.
Yes, sir.
Aunt Geum Geum.
I came to have a talk with you. Sit down.
Okay. You may leave.
What is it?
- Who is Hye Rin? - Pardon?
I hear she's your trainee.
I want to see her. Call her in.
She isn't in today.
- She isn't? - No.
Then what's her relationship with your uncle?
Why did he ask you a favor for her?
Don't make things up. Tell me the truth.
I have nothing much to say to you.
She was sent here...
because she knew Uncle's acquaintance.
His acquaintance? Who?
I'm not sure who it is, but you don't have to worry.
He's showing concern...
only because his acquaintance sent her here.
Is that true?
Does she really have nothing to do with your uncle?
Not at all.
I took you in and raised you...
because you're my distant relative.
You can't forget that.
Of course not. How can I forget that?
Thankfully, your uncle likes you.
And he's letting you run this entertainment company.
So it's natural that you're loyal to him.
Still, you're my relative.
Why did your uncle take you in?
- It was because of me. - Of course.
So don't think about lying to me.
If you do, I'll never see you again.
Trust me, Aunt Geum Geum.
Hye Rin really has nothing to do with your uncle, right?
Right. You don't have to worry.
All right.
Is it a play Between you and I
Who is this girl?
She's a trainee.
A trainee?
- What's your name? - I'm Oh Se Ra.
Hye Rin really isn't in today, right?
No.
Okay. You don't have to see me off.
Why did Mr. Cha say Hye Rin isn't in today?
I'm not sure.
What do you mean?
Mr. Cha, who was that lady and why did...
Did you two choose your song for today's performance?
- Yes. - Yes.
Then go practice.
Change my performance time, Mr. Cha.
I came here to become a singer,
not to sing in a pub.
I told you, stage experience is important to a singer.
Yes, that's why I'm following your orders.
But I want her time slot.
Why does that matter?
I don't want to sing before Se Ra.
It's like I'm singing to warm up the audience for her.
I'm the one who makes the audience excited.
I don't want to give up my time slot.
Stick with the order for today.
I'll tell Mr. Jo to switch your turns.
- Are you here to argue with me? - No.
I'm going to trust you and do everything you say.
So don't betray my trust.
I came here to say that.
Se Ra, why did you change so much all of a sudden?
Last time, you thanked me out of the blue.
I couldn't trust you before.
You said you'd make me a singer.
But you made me clean and run errands.
For a year, I thought,
"What am I doing here? Can I really become a singer?"
I wondered about that a lot.
But now I can trust you.
You don't really show what's on your mind.
You don't really smile, and you always get angry.
So I often misunderstood you.
But now I know what your plans are for me.
Mr. Cha, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?
Women don't like men who don't smile or who are always angry.
So smile a little.
Gosh.
Hey, when did you get here?
Just now.
Why are you here?
I completely gave up on Jeong Tae.
I thought you should know.
Did something happen?
Because of your brother, I had a nosebleed...
Anyway, I'm not going to cling onto him anymore.
I missed him so much for a year.
But he doesn't even look at me.
He totally ignores me.
I don't need a man like that anymore.
Hey, why did you rip that out?
I'll show him.
I'll show that jerk who looks down on me.
Hey!
What does she mean?
Don't even say hi to me.
What was that?
Ma'am. That was delicious.
Sir. You have to pay.
Didn't my chauffeur pay the bill?
I don't know what he looks like,
but nobody came to pay.
Oh, how rude of him.
I told him to leave some money with you,
so I can come here often to eat.
I guess he forgot.
I apologize. I'll send my chauffeur over.
Excuse me, sir.
You should pay for what you just ate before you go.
My chauffeur has my wallet, so I don't have any money right now.
Sir.
Who's that old man?
He came here last time too and ate on credit.
He's a weird old man, Mom.
I know, but he doesn't look it.
Anyway, why are you here?
I dropped by to say hi on my way to work.
I see.
Let's strengthen our election pledges.
The other parties' pledges aren't much different from ours.
How do you want to strengthen it?
Focus on raising the status of the construction industry.
Shouldn't we strengthen the rights and interests...
of the members?
All right.
Mr. Choi, can you get it done by tomorrow morning?
Pardon? Yes.
Okay, get to work now.
Mi Jin.
Mom, what brings you here?
I was at Sang Pil's office.
You'll be done soon, so I came here to go home together.
Why were you at Sang Pil's office?
Your dad sent a trainee over to Sang Pil.
I wanted to find out what was going on with your dad and her.
So I couldn't stay home.
You don't have to be concerned.
How can I not be concerned? How can I trust your dad?
So what did Sang Pil say?
It was your dad's acquaintance...
that sent the trainee over.
See? Dad wouldn't have an affair.
Do you still not know Dad?
Stay quiet when you don't know anything.
Back in the day, your dad and a girl from...
What do you mean, Mom?
Did he have an affair?
Anyway,
be careful with Jeong Hoon. How can you trust a man?
He even had a woman problem before he married you.
- Mom! - Don't you yell at me.
Men can never be trusted. Don't you know that?
Watch out for fire and men all the time.
I'm not worried, so you watch out for men.
I'm going home. You take off after you're done.
Okay.
I guess you're the new seamstress.
I heard a lot about you.
She rarely compliments people, but she...
By the way, what's your name?
Ms. Uhm.
I see. She made a lot of compliments about you, Ms. Uhm.
My daughter had been so stressed out...
because she couldn't find a good seamstress for the fashion show.
She finally found a seamstress she likes,
so I'm relieved.
Don't slack off, and please work hard.
Yes, ma'am.
- Let's go. - Wait a minute.
Please finish this today.
- Let's go, Mom. - Okay.
Why are you home so late?
I'm sorry. I had a lot of work.
I told you to stay home and look after Min Su.
Why would you not listen to me?
I'll work and earn money.
I should work too, so I can support Min Su.
Do you know how tired I am at work...
after babysitting Min Su all day?
At least he's your son.
I get furious sometimes...
because Min Su reminds me of that jerk.
Give me the phone number of that boutique you work at.
I knew you were still at work, but I couldn't get a hold of you.
I had no idea when you'd be home.
You drove me crazy.
Okay, I'll write it down.
I'm off to work.
Min Su. You missed me, didn't you?
I missed you all day too, Min Su.
You're so pretty.
I can't believe you're so pretty.
There.
How can you play like that?
I sang terribly because of you.
You missed a beat earlier.
I caught up quickly though.
Did you miss a beat? Why did you do that?
What was up with the performance?
It's because the saxophone player missed a beat.
The musicians are terrible because this is a cheap cabaret.
A cheap cabaret? Golden Chariot isn't cheap!
Can't you do any better?
Kneel down. Right now!
- Goodness. - Gosh.
I should fire them!
You should've cut in if they missed a beat.
That proves your competence too.
What?
Mr. Jo. They're much older than you.
You shouldn't do this to them.
You can just talk to them.
What are you saying?
Guys, get up. You too.
It's my turn to sing. You have to play for me.
Right. Okay. We'll go out to play music.
Me too!
Good luck.
Why are you late? Do you want to get fired too?
Darn it.
She's young, but she speaks frankly.
I like her for her honesty.
Do you know who she is?
Never mind. You don't need to know.
You're such a villain.
What is she saying?
(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
Your eyes glimmer and shimmer
As you look at me warmly
My heart flutters and shakes
As if it is a wildflower
Even when I look at you I miss you
That very person is you
Just like rain fog, My feelings for you
Hide behind your back
Just like waves
That crash endlessly
My love for you
- Isn't she great? - Yes.
Flows towards you
(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
- Come in. - Yes.
- Jeong Woo. - Bok Shil.
You were amazing. You were the best.
- Really? - Yes.
Thanks, Jeong Woo. How did you come here?
- What did you tell Mom? - I told her I'll be out.
But I didn't tell her I'm coming here.
Sure. I'm glad you're here.
- I've missed you. - I've missed you too.
And I'm really proud of you.
You didn't give up on your dream, and you're making it come true.
You should do that too.
There must be something you want to do.
I have to help Mom.
That's nice, but you should do what you want to do too.
I'll help you.
I'm not lying.
I'm going to fix your leg too. I'll keep my promise.
Thanks, Bok Shil. You should come home some time.
Mom and Grandma are waiting for you, even if they don't say it.
I'll go back when I become more successful. I really will.
I know you will. I believe in you.
Did you guys catch up?
Yes. This is the first time seeing her after she left home.
Gosh, you're like dispersed family members.
I'll get off work early today. Let's go home together.
I'll walk you home, Bok Shil.
It's okay. I can go alone. Go home with Jeong Woo.
Come and visit me often, okay?
Okay, Bok Shil.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Kyung Ho isn't here today.
Is he busy?
Thanks to you,
the election will go smoothly.
I'm glad I was able to help you.
What is it about?
How did he help you?
What? It's nothing.
You guys have so many secrets that I don't know about.
That girl Hye Rin too.
Sang Pil, you didn't lie to me, did you?
What do you mean?
You don't need to know.
Without Jeong Hoon, Mi Jin won't even come downstairs.
Won't she take the medicine?
What was she talking about?
She wanted to know about Hye Rin,
so I told her...
your acquaintance sent her to Lucky Entertainment.
Good job.
If she asks again, give her the same answer.
- You can go to your room now. - Okay.
Why are you home so late?
I was revising the election pledges.
The information Sang Pil gave us is enough to win the race.
Don't waste your energy.
- Go upstairs. - Okay.
Sang Pil.
Can we talk for a minute?
What is it? Is there something you need to say?
It's nice that you're helping Father.
But when you're helping someone, you shouldn't cause trouble.
Are you saying my help is troubling him?
Yes. That's what I think.
What?
The information you brought...
is malicious propaganda that'll turn the election into a mud fight.
Even if Father wins,
that could hurt his leadership because he wouldn't...
have won fair and square.
You're missing the point.
In whatever we do, the process is important,
but the result is more important.
The result...
is important, of course.
But I want Father to win...
fair and square.
I want to help him win that way.
In order to get the result I want, I try every possible means.
That's what I learned directly...
from my uncle.
That means...
I know my uncle much better than you.
So I don't need your arrogant advice.
Do you know what time it is?
Don't you know it's almost the curfew?
I was working, and I didn't realize it's gotten this late.
Stop using work as your excuse. I'm sick of it.
Do you know how boring it is to wait for you at night?
Why did you marry me if you were going to behave this way?
Why did you marry me if you were going to neglect me?
I told you I'd be busy...
because of the Construction Association Chief election.
When will you stop whining?
Whining?
Am I doing this for no reason?
Let's stop.
I just got back from work. I'm tired.
I want to come home and rest.
Do you even think of this place as home?
You only come here to sleep. How could you call this as your home?
Look at you. You're sitting at the desk again.
You don't even want to talk to me!
Stop it already!
Your whining makes me tired!
Tired? I make you tired?
So do you regret marrying me?
Is that what you're saying?
What are you doing?
Why are you fighting? What's the reason?
Jeong Hoon, tell me. Why is Mi Jin acting like that?
What did you do to make Mi Jin angry?
I'm sorry.
You're living in luxury thanks to us.
Why are you making my daughter upset...
when you can't even flatter her?
I don't know why I'm even being nice to you by bringing this.
You two came home together last night.
Where have you been?
What? Well, I went to see Bok Shil.
I told him to visit so he could see her.
What?
- Did you see Bok Shil? - Yes.
I saw her sing on stage too.
She was really amazing.
Why did you go there?
Why did you take him there?
What do you mean why?
They haven't seen each other since Bok Shil left home,
so I told him to come.
He's right. You shouldn't stop them from seeing each other.
It's not like they are on bad terms.
Bok Shil was especially good to Jeong Woo.
You must be wondering how Bok Shil is doing.
She's your daughter. Of course you must be.
She abandoned her family and ran away from home.
- I don't want to hear about her. - Mom.
Don't talk about her anymore.
Come out! I can't hold it anymore.
Please wait.
I'm not done yet.
Kyung Ho. Wait.
- Okay. - This...
Eat this before you go to work.
It's honey with ginseng. Here.
Why are you giving this to me?
You worked until late last night.
I saw you come in late. You must be tired.
Eat this. It'll give you energy. Here.
You should have it. I'm okay.
Come on.
Goodness. What's that?
This is...
ginseng Bok Shil's mom gave me. I fermented it in honey.
It's for Kyung Ho.
Why would you give it to Kyung Ho? You should have it.
Well, it's for my son-in...
Kyung Ho was...
down in Busan alone, so he...
must've skipped a lot of meals.
So I'm going to...
give him a spoonful every morning.
Goodness. That's so nice of you.
Give that to me.
I'll feed him that every morning.
No, don't take it away.
What's that? What is that?
Gosh, that's ginseng with honey.
Let me have a taste.
Stop it. Give it to me.
No. If you take this,
Kyung Ho won't be able to have it.
His dad and that man...
will steal it from him. No way.
Don't worry. I'll hide it from them.
- Give it to me. - I said no.
Goodness.
Dad, what are you doing?
Just a spoonful of that...
will give me vigor...
Goodness.
Kyung Ho. You should just go to work for now.
I'll give it to you secretly next time.
Okay. I'll get going.
- Okay. Go to work. - Bye.
I can hide it well.
Choon Ja, why is your dad so nice to Kyung Ho?
How would I know that?
I wonder why. What's the reason?
(Storage)
Who is it?
- Kyung Ho. - Nobody's here yet, right?
No. Why are you here so early?
Because I didn't see you yesterday.
That's why you're here now?
Yes. I couldn't come because I worked until late last night.
I came to see you before I go to work.
Kyung Ho.
I'll get going now since I've seen your face already.
Okay.
- Are you singing again tonight? - Not tonight.
- I'll come after work then. - Okay.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Wonderful, wonderful Dad's youth
Bravo, bravo Dad's life
When did you come in?
- What are you doing? - Dance practice.
Which one is better?
This one?
Or this one?
You can't decide? Look again.
This one or this one?
Can't you tell which one is better?
You aren't a dancer.
So focus on singing.
I knew it.
You act mean when you actually aren't.
Can't you give a compliment?
I think this is better.
- Why are you smiling? - Because she's cute.
I haven't seen him smile in so long.
The aim to vitalize the construction business...
and to produce experts in every field is great.
But something important is missing.
Something important?
In order to build a Construction Technology Education Center,
we need funds first.
How are we going to raise funds for the center?
How will we receive government aid?
Look into that and reinforce the idea.
Okay.
If we don't have that down, it'll be an empty pledge.
You're right. I'll redo the report.
Okay. Have the others do some research. I'll look into it too.
Yes, sir.
Ms. Jung. Did you go to the bank?
I'll go tomorrow because there's so much to do today.
Didn't I tell you to go today?
It's not urgent, so I took care of other things first.
Are you the boss?
You can't ignore me...
and do whatever you like.
I'm sorry, Ms. Hwang.
I'll go tomorrow morning as soon as I come in.
Why don't you follow my order?
This is Jini Boutique.
Uhm Soon Young? Oh, Ms. Uhm.
Please hold.
Ms. Uhm, you have a phone call.
Hello.
What is it, Aunt Gu?
You're at work already?
What about Min Su?
Our neighbor is looking after him. Don't worry.
I forgot to leave the key with her.
You'll have to come and get it.
Okay.
Don't answer personal phone calls at work.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful.
I thought you were a good employee because you're skilled.
You should learn how to behave at work.
What's wrong with her today?
She seems irritated the whole day.
Did she fight with her husband last night?
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
Come in.
Mi Jin. What brings you here?
Are you working late tonight?
Probably. My work isn't finished yet.
Then let's have dinner together.
I came here to have dinner with you.
Oh, no. I already ordered food.
Cancel it. Let's go out and eat.
I ordered delivery so I could eat with everyone in the office.
I'll have more time after today.
Please be understanding.
So are you sending me back when I came all the way?
The election is in a few days.
Until then, please...
- Okay. Let's go. - Never mind.
You don't have to eat with me if you don't want to.
You should eat with your co-workers.
It looks like you prefer eating with them over me.
(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
Let's see how many bulbs are left. 1, 2...
There are three left.
We have to change them now. Go get the tools.
Are you ordering me around now that you're the floor manager?
I'm not.
Fine. I'll go get them.
It's okay, Mr. Floor Manager. I'll do it.
Soon Young.
Jeong Tae.
You're still working?
I was about to leave.
Tell Se Ra to come to my office.
She just left after getting a phone call.
- She left? - Yes.
Lately, she's been going out frequently.
- Bok Shil. - Hi.
What's this?
Did you take care of the urgent business?
I brought work with me so I can finish it at home.
Does Jeong Hoon give you a lot of work?
A little bit.
Tell him you can't do it then.
You worked late last night also. You shouldn't bring work home.
You must be so tired.
Even though I have a lot of work, I feel great these days.
It's so wonderful to see you every day, even if it's brief.
I don't feel tired at all.
I feel the same.
Because you're with me, I'm not lonely. I'm so happy.
- Are you? - Yes.
- It's so good. - Isn't it?
Here you go.
I've never had cotton candy before.
- Really? - Yes.
Se Ra.
Mr. Cha.
Mr. Han.
Why are you two together?
Do you know each other?
(Through the Waves)
Do you know each other?
- Let's have a talk. - Okay.
- I heard you got married. - Why won't you stop crying?
Yes.
He's burning up.
Why are you intervening...
You're naive to wish for a clean race.
I'll go see a movie with Kyung Ho.
- Do you know Mr. Han? - We're dating.
- Where's my grandma's food? - I threw it out.
- You're looking for a model, right? - Beautiful.
We have to make him pay today.
This is worth more than a dozen bowls of noodles.
Why did you stop singing?
