Why do you cry so often these days?
It bothers me.
Why did you want to see me?
I'd like you...
to hold your feelings for Bok Shil.
I've known Mr. Han since he was a little boy,
and I know I can trust him to look after Bok Shil.
Do you know what this is?
The theme song for a radio drama.
You're going to give it to Hye Rin.
Her album is coming out first,
so I know it'll be hers.
No.
The theme song is yours.
- What? - I'll give it to you.
Are you serious? You'll give it to me?
Don't let me see you cry again.
From now on, I'll make you smile.
So don't cry.
Okay. Thank you, sir.
Thank you. Thank you.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Jin Kyu, I'm not dreaming, am I?
What?
I'm not dreaming. It's not a dream.
What...
Mr. Cha said I'll sing the theme song of the radio drama.
He did? Congratulations.
What did you just say?
You'll sing the drama's theme song?
Yes. Mr. Cha said he'll give it to me.
I misheard it, didn't I?
What Se Ra just said.
You didn't give her the theme song, did you?
Se Ra will sing the radio drama's theme song.
What?
You release an album soon,
and the song suits Se Ra better.
Don't think about anything else...
and focus on your album.
No, I'll sing the theme song too.
I'll put that in my album as well,
so give it to me.
I decide which song suits which singer better.
- Get out. - You just made a huge mistake.
Do you think I'll just let Se Ra...
take my theme song?
(Practice Room)
Thank you, sir.
Mr. Cha told me to sing...
the theme song of the radio drama.
Really? I thought he'd give it to Hye Rin.
That's great.
I actually thought the song suits you better.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Wait, how about...
we practice the song? Here's the music sheet.
Okay.
(Practice Room)
What are you doing?
Do you think I'll let you take the song?
Hye Rin, calm down.
Mr. Cha gave it to me. He told me to record it.
Says who?
Hey!
- Mr. Oh, I enjoyed the meal. - Me too.
Good.
You're not going to skip team dinner...
because of the lunch we just had, right?
Of course not.
You all worked hard on the proposal.
There will be a dinner.
That's good to hear.
When you treated us...
to such a lavish lunch spread,
I got worried you were going to treat us to lunch instead of dinner.
Where have you been, Mr. Han?
Mr. Oh bought us lunch,
and you're the only one who missed out.
I went out to meet someone.
I apologize.
Mr. Oh will be glad he got to spend that much less.
Don't say that.
Finish the rest of the paperwork...
before the end of the day.
Yes, sir.
I think I ate way too much.
My stomach hurts.
What's that?
It's nothing.
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
Come in.
Hey.
This is the update on the highway works.
Thanks.
Hoseo Dam will be built...
using the new technique we proposed.
- Monitor it carefully. - Okay.
There's something...
I need your help with.
What is it? Tell me.
Me and Bok Shil.
Both our moms found out.
Really?
I just met your mother...
to ask for her permission.
I see.
What did she say? Did she approve?
Actually...
My mom said something hurtful to yours about Bok Shil.
Your mother isn't very pleased.
So I need your help.
Can you help me and Bok Shil?
I get what you want me to do.
I'll talk to her for you.
Okay. Thank you.
Sorry, ma'am.
We'll have it ready by then.
Sure. I'm so sorry.
The lady from Hannam-dong needs it for a family gathering.
She said we have to finish it by that day.
What should we do now?
We haven't gotten anything done,
and people have been calling to complain all day.
There are a few outfits that need to be fitted too.
Is Ms. Uhm not coming back?
Shouldn't you look for another seamstress?
Shut your mouth, and get back to work.
Okay.
She just didn't show up?
Is she trying to mess with me?
Soon Young.
Can you finish all that tonight?
Yes.
You will pay me overtime, won't you?
You bet I will.
You worked all day,
and you're taking extra work home.
Why don't you just stay and work here?
I need the money, and I'm doing this...
only until I find a job.
Even if there aren't that many with your skill,
who would pay you in advance so soon after you started?
Do whatever you want.
What's that?
I got some work from the factory. Where's Min Su?
Leave him. He just fell asleep.
I fed him too.
You worked at the factory all day...
and brought work home?
I need to work hard to pay back...
the owner of the boutique.
I'm sorry, Soon Young.
What for?
If I'd known his wife owned the boutique,
I'd have told you to pay her back first.
What do you mean?
What? It's nothing.
That's what I'd have said if I'd had the money.
I'm off to work.
Mom. Is Jeong Woo making a delivery?
Yes.
I wanted to talk to you while Jeong Woo was out,
and I'm glad you came over.
Your sister-in-law's boutique.
Does Soon Young still work there?
- No, she quit. - Really?
Who told you that? Jeong Hoon?
Yes.
That's a relief.
I was so afraid that Mi Jin would find out.
You said she was happily married.
Is she not?
Why does she have to work?
There must be a reason.
She quit working at the boutique,
so don't worry about her now.
I didn't know you were here.
Why are you here?
Because I have a good reason.
What?
It's been a long time, ma'am.
Hello, sir.
- Sit, Grandpa. - Okay.
We'll have two bowls of noodles,
gimbap and tteokbokki.
Don't put it on the tab.
Don't worry.
My dad left some money with your mom.
- Didn't he? - He did.
- Jeong Tae, serve this. - Okay.
Sir,
did you stop selling the fake medicine?
It's not fake medicine.
How many times must I tell you I bought it from the US myself?
Okay, sure.
Grandpa, eat as much as you want.
This is our dinner.
You're old enough to get married.
You should learn to cook and clean as well.
Did you bring me here to avoid cooking?
I can run a household just fine once I get married.
Don't you worry.
Darn it.
Then I should start looking for...
a nice young man for you to marry.
You don't need to worry.
Dad told me to look for my groom...
who's closer to home.
Do you know of someone who's close to home?
Another young lady already nabbed Kyung Ho.
Is your daughter the girl Kyung Ho likes?
Yes, it's Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho's mother has another young lady in mind.
You must be very upset.
Hi, Jeong Tae.
I can go now that you're back.
- Mom, I'm off. - Okay.
You should look for someone close to home too!
Look for what?
You don't need to know.
Jeong Tae.
You're back.
- I wanted to see you. - What for?
Don't you get that I don't suit you...
at all?
By the way,
are you sick?
You look so pale.
I feel a bit dizzy.
Have you eaten?
No.
Come with me.
Eat up.
Why did you bring me here today?
Sorry about yesterday.
I took you there on purpose, thinking you wouldn't like it.
Why?
Because I thought you knew so little about me.
I'm not the kind of guy you should be...
chasing like this.
I had fun yesterday.
You're not sick, are you?
I'm not.
Is it because you didn't eat? You look so weak.
Eat up.
Seeing you today cheered me up.
- I'm so sorry. - It's okay.

Go on inside.
You're not coming?
I just walked you over.
I have to meet someone at the broadcasting station.
Okay.
- Bok Shil. - Jeong Tae.
Wasn't that your CEO?
It was.
Why didn't he come in?
He has a meeting. Let's go inside.
- Okay. - Right.
I'm going to record a radio drama's theme song.
A theme song?
- Really? - Yes.
Good for you. I'm impressed.
Doesn't that mean you're a real singer?
Bok Shil, can I give you a hug?
Don't you dare.
I'm so proud of you. Hey.
- Hello, I'm here. - Hi.
What did you do to Mr. Cha?
I won't talk to you.
Did you take him to an inn...
to win the theme song?
How dare you say that?
What?
What did I just hear?
Even Terry Jang said...
the song suits me better than you.
So don't be so stubborn.
You took the song that I was going to sing!
Bok Shil stole your song, Hye Rin?
I bet she won it because she's the better singer.
Right, Bok Shil?
It was originally Hye Rin's song!
Singing a drama theme song can shoot you to stardom.
It looks like one of us will become a star.
- Right, Choon Sam? - That's right.
By the way, why are you scratching yourself?
I'm itchy all over. Goodness.
Why aren't you preparing for stage when it's near opening time?
- See you. - Bye.
Why do you look so upset?
Is something bothering you? If so, tell me.
Did someone here upset you? Was it you, Seamstress?
Why would I upset Hye Rin?
She'll soon be my daughter-in-law.
What? Your daughter-in-law?
Is that true?
Why can't you believe my words? Of course it's true.
My son and Hye Rin like each other.
Right, Hye Rin?
If she likes the seamstress' son,
is she not his lover?
Whose lover, sir?
You don't need to know.
Mr. Jo will yell at me for missing work yesterday and being late today.
Hello.
What did you tell Mr. Jo yesterday?
That you left because you weren't feeling well.
- Good. - Your niece.
How is she?
What do you want to know?
To pay back what her boss paid her in advance,
she worked at a factory all day...
and even brought work home which kept her up all night.
I wronged her too,
so I don't dare make any excuses,
but what kind of horrible karma is this?
I thought she'd found a decent job,
but it turned out to be his wife's boutique.
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
It's me. After work today, I'll visit my family.
I have a family issue to discuss with my mom.
Now that you aren't so busy, you'll visit your family?
Fine.
He's making up excuses to avoid coming home early.
Why do you look so haggard?
I had a lot of work recently.
It's all good to be busy, but you need to watch your health.
I will, don't worry.
You haven't eaten, have you?
Wait for a while. I'll bring you some food.
I'll eat later, Mom.
I came to talk to you about something.
About what?
I heard Kyung Ho visited you today.
- Did he tell you about that? - Yes.
Do you know he's dating Bok Shil?
Yes, he told me a while ago.
What did Kyung Ho want?
Mom's permission to date Bok Shil.
His own mother is more than eager to disapprove.
Giving our permission won't change anything.
I told him that I'm not too happy about it.
Then it'll be too hard on Kyung Ho and Bok Shil.
Can't we support them at least?
Right.
I thought I knew Kyung Ho well as we grew up together,
but I trust him even more now that we work together.
He's hard-working and determined.
Try to support them and trust Kyung Ho.
Grandma, Mother, it's me.
Isn't that your wife?
Hello, Grandma, Mother.
- Welcome. - Hi.
Did you agree to meet Jeong Hoon here?
Yes.
You got here early.
Oh, right. Grandma, Mother.
I rushed over straight from work,
so I didn't bring any gifts. I'm sorry.
We're family.
Coming over is good enough. We don't need a gift.
Why won't you bring us good news about a baby?
Isn't it time that you did?
Jeong Hoon is just so busy.
I barely get to see him at home.
Right?
We're home.
Hello.
You're home together. Did you go on a date?
We visited his family.
Did you? Well done.
- Is everyone well? - Yes.
Why did you visit them suddenly?
Jeong Hoon wanted to discuss some family issues.
Mom, I'm tired. I'm going upstairs, Dad.
Sure. You can all go upstairs.
I should go to bed as well.
- Goodnight. - You too.
Mi Jin, don't forget to take your tonics.
Jeong Hoon.
That family issue. Is it about Se Ra?
Yes. I wanted to ask them about Kyung Ho and Bok Shil.
I see.
Mr. Han's mother seems to disapprove.
Do you know that?
I trust Mr. Han.
He can persuade his parents...
and look after Bok Shil.
To Se Ra, her debut is more important than dating issues.
I believe I told you that I'm against her becoming a singer.
If you care for your sister at all,
shouldn't you consider what it is that she really wants?
I will make Se Ra a successful singer.
You're such a busy man.
You work, take care of your siblings,
and meet Soon Young.
Why did you come over?
What did you want to see?
You know.
What if you lied about going there and went somewhere else?
How do you feel these days?
Does it break your heart that Soon Young works for me?
Are you concerned that I'll give her a hard time?
It'll all be over if you let her go.
Why torture yourself by keeping her close?
Let her quit, so you can relax.
Let her quit?
He doesn't know she quit?
Are you really...
not seeing her behind my back?
Why do you keep asking the same thing?
I only met her to tell her to quit because...
I felt uncomfortable and I didn't want you to know.
I ended it with her before we got married,
and I didn't do anything to betray you since then.
Believe me. That's the only way you can relax.
Do you think I don't know that?
I ask you leading questions...
and follow you like today to check on you.
Do you think I love doing that?
What am I to do when I can't control how I feel?
Kyung Ho.
I'm glad we met.
Will you comfort me today?
Something upsetting happened today.
Mr. Cha gave my song to Se Ra.
You know they're acting strange too, right?
They even spent the night at an inn.
Don't speak like that about Bok Shil.
I don't like it.
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho.
Let's go.
The composer said the song suits me better.
I bet that's why Mr. Cha let me sing it.
Really? Congratulations.
You won't take it wrong, will you?
I won't. You can celebrate all you want for today.
Thanks. I want to.
I met your mom today and asked for her permission...
to date you. I told her that I'd persuade my mom.
I told Jeong Hoon too.
You did?
Will you trust me and wait?
Yes, I will.
Also,
- there's this. - What is it?
Our photo is out?
- Isn't it nice? - It is.
Remember that I'm rooting for you...
whenever you look at this photo.
Okay. Thank you.
They bite, they bite
Lice are biting me
Fleas are biting me too
Gosh. Darn it.
Why are you late?
Did you see Bok Shil again?
Object all you want, but I won't give up on her.
You have to give in.
How many times must I say that you can't date her?
From what Hye Rin said tonight,
Bok Shil coaxed the CEO...
to give her the song meant for Hye Rin.
It's not like that.
They went to an inn together.
Mom!
She lives away from home.
Who knows what the two really get up to?
I know Bok Shil very well, so don't say that again.
My goodness.
The poor boy just got home from work.
Why are you lecturing him for so long?
Let's go. Leave him alone.
Yes, Mal Soon. I'm tired too.
You can't date Bok Shil, and that's my final word, okay?
Come with me.
- Let go of me. - Sleep well.
You're driving me crazy.
I don't think I can sleep here tonight.
Oh dear.
When did you sneak into our room?
Mal Soon nagged Kyung Ho to stop dating Bok Shil,
and I just couldn't sleep with him.
So I slept in your room.
Everyone could get on with their life...
if she just let them be.
Dad, why are you scratching yourself?
I don't know.
Why am I so itchy? I'm itching all over.
Did you not wash your hair?
I washed it yesterday.
- Wash your hands and join us. - Okay.
Kyung Ho, breakfast's ready!
He's not in.
He left without eating?
Would he feel like eating when you tell him...
he can't date Bok Shil whenever you see him?
Just open the door.
Okay.
I'll wash my hands.
By the way,
what's wrong with you guys?
I'm itching all over, and it's killing me.
Do you have lice?
Lice?
Lice? No, it can't be that.
Then why else would you feel so itchy?
Let me take a look.
Let me see.
My goodness, what's all that?
What is it?
- Dad. - What's wrong?
Do you raise lice?
I don't.
I've never had a lice problem in my life.
Johnny, let me have a look.
Is it that serious? Let me see.
My goodness, that's gross.
- Oh no. - What is it?
What should I do about this?
This is disgusting.
I'll have it fitted elsewhere.
Give me the clothes.
- Ms. Hwang. - Give it to her.
I came over because I heard the sewing was impeccable.
That was a total lie.
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
What do we do now?
That's the third customer we lost today.
If word gets out, we'll lose all our customers.
Shall I put up a note saying we need a seamstress?
Don't.
Mom, where do you want this?
- Over there. - Okay.
Jeong Hoon and Mi Jin visited last night.
Jeong Woo told me.
They talked about Kyung Ho and Bok Shil?
Did Jeong Hoon tell you anything else in private?
No. Why?
I'm not sure if it's because of how I feel,
but the two of them seemed a little distant.
It's been bothering me all morning.
Do you think...
Mi Jin found out about Soon Young?
I don't think so.
If she knew, would she have come with Jeong Hoon?
Right?
Since Soon Young quit working there,
Mi Jin just came over not knowing anything, right?
That's right.
You just think so because you're worried.
Okay. It's over between them,
but I wish Soon Young's life were easier.
Why did she end up there?
She must've been so upset and stressed.
Jeong Tae.
Are you off to work?
It's none of your business.
You don't have lice, do you?
- What? - We had a pandemic at home.
Dad gave me some insecticide.
What's in that bag?
- Don't you mind. - What's inside?
Infant formula and baby toys?
Hands off.
Why do you have that?
Did you have a baby in secret?
What? Why you...
My gosh.
I'll kill you if that's true.
Jeong Tae.
Mi Jin.
What are you doing in this area?
I'm here to meet someone.
Bye.
Do you...
- know her too? - Who?
The woman your brother dated before he married me.
She must've been to your house, so you should know her.
Are you here to see her?
No. Why would I see her?
Why are you mentioning her, by the way?
What?
Never mind then. Bye.
- Jin Kyu, did you make the booking? - Yes.
- Where's Se Ra? - I think she's practicing.
There she is.
Se Ra, let's go somewhere.
- Where? - To eat.
Where are they going?
Mr. Cha wants to congratulate Se Ra on singing...
the drama theme song.
What?
Where?
This is Daeguk's Han Kyung Ho speaking.
It's Hye Rin.
What do you want?
There's something you should see.
It's about Oh Se Ra.
Congratulations on singing the theme song.
Come on, a celebration requires a toast.
Se Ra, this is just the beginning.
We're in it together.
I told you that I'd make you smile.
Why the long face? Try smiling.
Why did you give me the theme song?
- To make me smile? - Yes.
I like seeing you smile.
Not because I'm good?
I'm a businessman.
Would I put my emotions first even if you weren't good enough?
You can smile all you want.
You're the only person who makes me smile.
Oh Se Ra.
(Through the Waves)
Can I join you?
Pay me back by working for me.
It's because you have feelings for Se Ra.
Why baulk if you're innocent?
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Why do you like me?
Is singing your priority or is Kyung Ho?
What's wrong? Hey.
You'll have to choose one or the other.
Why are you late? Do you know what time it is?
Can you promise me that you won't change your mind?
Give it to Hye Rin!
What are you doing?
Bye, Kyung Ho.
Soon Young.
