(Episode 25)
Give it back. Stop that.
Okay.
Come on.
Give it to me.
Mother.
I could hear your laughter from outside.
Who is...
Right.
I... I'll tell you.
Okay. I'll wait in the cafe.
Wait upstairs.
You're too responsible...
to have brought a random girl to the gallery.
She isn't a random girl.
I'm serious about her.
- If you're not going to commit... - I will commit.
I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.
I'll keep it short. Make it official then.
Given your age, you should each meet the other's family.
Okay.
Have you met her parents?
I'm sure you'll get along.
Where's your mother?
Did she leave?
You must have been surprised, since it was so out of the blue.
Sit down.
I didn't get to introduce you.
It's okay.
But... What did she say?
Let's meet your dad first.
- My dad? - Yes.
Introduce me officially, and let's tell him about us.
Don't be nervous.
Hello. I'm Jeong Eum's boyfriend, Kang Hoon Nam.
Let me formally introduce myself.
How dare you... My precious...
My precious daughter... You...
You...
Want to die?
Sorry. I was wrong.
Do it right! I'm serious here!
Me too. I'm serious.
So, you're my daughter's girlfriend?
- Yes, sir. - I see.
Gosh.
- Hey! - Cut. Cut.
Not girlfriend. Boyfriend. Boyfriend.
Your suit... I think the other outfit was better.
- Really? - Yes.
I'd like to officially date Jeong Eum.
Please give me permission.
Never! Not until I'm six feet under!
Please give me your daughter.
You're bowing? You moron.
Come here. Hey.
Hello.
I'm your cutie, Kang Hoon Nam...
Hello, sir! I'm Kang Hoon Nam!
Salute! Sir!
Hello, hello. Handsome man, Kang Hoon Nam.
Why don't we tune in to watch Jeong Eum and me dating?
Come on.
Hello. I like your daughter a lot.
I'd like to formally date Jeong Eum. Please give me your permission.
This is it.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I said let's buy flowers.
My dad likes food the most.
He'll say it's a waste of money.
Still, that's not right. I think I should get...
Are you nervous?
But you've met my dad before.
I've never had this feeling before.
Do you think he'll get mad about the Bamboo room thing?
A little?
But he'll like you eventually,
since he'll see your sincerity.
Right?
Shall we go?
Let's go.
Hold on. Hold on.
Do I look okay?
You look handsome, you were handsome, and you'll be handsome.
Let's go.
Bamboo room?
Dad.
Are you just getting back from your business trip?
Well, that's...
- Did you two meet on the way home? - Yes.
Let's go inside and have dinner.
Let's go. Let's go in.
All right. Go inside.
What's all that? What are you carrying?
Go inside.
How long has it been?
All right. Let's eat. Right.
It's been a while since you've been back home. Let's have a drink.
- Okay? - Okay.
Hold on a second. Where's the plum wine?
My dad gets in a good mood when he starts drinking.
- Tell him then. - Tell him then?
Okay.
All right.
Sir, let me pour a glass for you.
- No! - Oh, I'm sorry.
I... The truth is...
The truth is... I...
Is this your first time having wine you made at home?
Watch.
Pour it...
into the kettle.
You're right. We ought to do that.
- That was my bad. - Here you go.
Okay.
All right. Let me pour you a drink.
- Okay. - Here.
There you go.
- Do you want some, Jeong Eum? - Yes.
Let me pour you one.
- Can you pour me one? - Of course.
That's good.
All right. Let's clink our glasses.
- Cheers. - Oh, my.
By the way, what's all this stuff? You bought the ribs and red ginseng.
Someone might think I'm your future father-in-law and you're here...
to ask for Jeong Eum.
Sir.
- Jeong Eum and I... - Come on.
My gosh, look at all this blood. Did you get a mosquito bite?
I'm fine.
Jeong Eum, go inside the bedroom and bring me...
the bite relief spray. It's inside the cabinet.
- The bite relief spray? - Yes.
- I know. - Yes.
- I know everything. - My gosh.
Of course, you know everything here.
I know that you two are dating.
Do you think I don't know that?
Parents know what their kids want to say with just one look.
From the sounds of their footsteps and breathing.
parents know if their kids are upset, happy, or sad. Parents...
know everything.
Well, but since she brought home...
a nice man like you instead of some jerk,
I'm relieved.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, Dad.
Do you think I gave you my blessing?
It takes a month for the plums to get ripe.
Then don't you think you need time for your relationship to mature?
As a father who has raised a daughter,
it's not easy to give my approval when it comes to dating.
I'll keep my eyes on you.
Of course. You're absolutely right.
I would...
like to date Jeong Eum with the intention of marrying her.
I'll prove to you that I deserve to marry her.
Okay.
- Let's have a drink. - Yes, sir.
This is breaking news.
It is made aware that the son of Candidate Kang Jung Do...
who's running for office in Byuldong donated expired pickled radish...
to the senior citizen center. And this news...
has created a stir among the public.
His opposing party, the New Nation Party condemned...
the candidate that this is an act of deceiving...
the citizens under the premise of donations. They're demanding...
- What a piece of trash. - a thorough investigation.
I knew that you'd cause trouble.
What a scumbag. A shameless scumbag.
Jerk. Scumbag. A piece of trash.
I'll crack open your skull and suck in all of your blood.
You piece of... Son of... A complete...
- You deserve to die. - Dad.
What?
Oh, right.
I'm sorry.
I lost my temper there. I got riled up.
I'm not bad-tempered by nature, though.
Of course, I know that. But...
did something happen between...
I have a bad history with that jerk,
Kang Jung Do.
What kind of a bad history is that?
A long time ago,
I had a friend whom I treasured just like my younger sister.
She was innocent just like Jeong Eum.
She was easily fooled too.
But that trash, Kang Jung Do...
already had a family,
but he seduced that little innocent girl...
and made her give birth all on her own.
And she ended up raising the kid alone.
I should have stopped her by all means,
but it kills me that I couldn't.
That's why it's been 30 years since I cut my ties with that man.
But out of all districts, he chose my district.
He's running for office in my district.
Don't you think this is too cruel?
Jeong Eum is just like my friend.
I was worried that she'd meet someone like him.
But you...
You're not like that, right?
No, I'm not like that.
That's right. Of course, not.
All right. Let's drop this sad subject.
Oh, by the way, what does your father do?
Forget I asked. It's not important. You're the important one.
As you can see, our family comes from a humble background too.
- Let's drink. - Okay.
Gosh, I ruined the mood. All right. Drink it.
Nice. The plum wine is brewed nicely.
Kang Jung Do...
The thought of him makes me angry.
Joon Soo. I can cook delicious ribs.
Oh, you are Mr. Bamboo.
We should eat delicious ribs.
He was stubborn.
Jeong Eum is innocent too. Mr. Bamboo.
I should take care...
All I have left now is...
my daughter and...
He's sleeping now.
He sleeps as soon as his head hits the floor.
Do you want to sleep in your room?
I have to finish something today. I must go back to the gallery.
I see.
Go back inside. I'll call you when I arrive.
Don't you think my dad seems to like you?
I'm glad.
Yes, I'm glad.
Let's be careful until he officially gives his approval.
I'm telling you. This is as good as his approval.
But still.
But when should I go visit your family?
I'll let you know when it's a good time for you to visit.
Oh, right. Bring your dad to the gallery sometime.
I'll give you the invitations.
He'll love it.
Goodnight. I'm leaving now.
Bye.
Yes, Choon Nam.
I know. I saw the news.
That doesn't concern me. You should've made sure.
DMJ should take care of its problem within the company.
Don't lead it to the gallery.
Bye.
Assemblyman Kang Jung Do still hasn't...
I knew that you'd cause trouble.
What a scumbag. A shameless scumbag.
I have a bad history with that jerk,
Kang Jung Do.
I had a friend whom I treasured just like my younger sister.
But that trash, Kang Jung Do already had a family.
He seduced that innocent girl...
and made her have a baby alone.
And she raised her alone, and...
They donated expired pickled radish to a senior citizens center,
sparking outrage.
Kang Jung Do's opposing party...
says he mocked the people with his donation,
and are demanding a full investigation.
Given it is election season,
Kang Jung Do's party cannot hide...
their anxiety regarding the matter.
Hey. This is unexpected.
Okay. There.
So, what it is?
You never called even long after the news broke.
You're family too.
If we close the factory now, we'll lose a source of income...
Talk to Choon Nam about his problems.
Talk to me about my matters.
Sure. What did you want to say?
Mo...
Mom... How did you meet her again?
I was curious...
why a good woman like her went back to you.
Especially when you were married.
Your mom came to see me first.
But it didn't matter who came to whom first.
Because we were still...
in love.
Whatever.
Do you know a man named Yoo Seung Ryul?
What? How do you know Seung Ryul?
Jeong Eum is just like her,
so I was afraid she'd meet someone like him.
Mr. Bamboo. You're not like him, right?
Women need to take care of their skin.
Good morning.
- Hello. - Hello.
Jeong Eum.
You're switching it up now, I guess.
I have a client's camping wedding to go to today.
Camping wedding?
Yes. They're both outdoor designers.
Their hobby is camping.
So they're getting married at a camp site.
Oh, I see.
But when did you connect the client who refused 100 blind dates with...
the invisible client?
I heard they're meeting today.
Didn't you say you checked?
Yes. They called this morning,
saying they'll meet without the case manager.
You didn't know?
Of course, I did.
I knew that Lee Susie had selected Choi Joon Soo,
but I didn't think he's agree...
You are so unpredictable.
How did you think of matching them together?
Now, just work on Na Ga Yong and Kang Dol Jin.
- Okay? - Okay.
- I'll be back. - Bye.
- Enjoy yourself. - See you.
Let's do this.
We went on a blind date today,
so let's go on one date and meet the families.
If we do that, Jeong Eum will get credit for us.
And I'll be happy since I would've shown my dad that I have someone.
Do we have to go on a date?
This is an arranged relationship anyway.
Still, we need to put on a front.
Sure. I guess we can do that.
That way,
Jeong Eum will feel less guilty.
Are you really doing this for the woman you like?
No.
I'm doing this for the friend that I really like.
I envy her.
I don't have many friends.
I guess it's because I have a bad personality.
I can be a friend for you, at least.
Let's meet somewhere more comfortable next time.
This place really looks like a place for blind dates.
Okay. Let's meet somewhere more comfortable next time.
Where's Hoon Nam?
He must be busy.
He said he'd come, but I told him not to.
That punk. This is a family matter. He should've come.
Why is he so busy?
You have no right to say that.
But Mother, it's true that we messed up,
but the opposing party obtained false testimony too.
Choon Nam. I told you to always be careful,
independent of elections.
I'm sorry.
It's not like we just began donating pickled radishes.
We've been doing it for years. It's a bit unfair.
I'll go and apologize for everything.
Regardless of intent, we did cause harm.
Admit exactly what happened,
compensate anyone who suffered damages,
and let's see how things go.
Eun Nim.
Don't worry too much.
It'll all work out.
Anyway,
I think Hoon Nam got himself a girl.
I think he's seeing someone.
He is?
Hoon Nam...
won't be like you, right?
Have you eaten?
I have no appetite.
Are you really okay?
About what?
DMJ is about to be acquired.
- Aren't you a bit too calm? - It has nothing to do with me.
Sir.
This is completely different from the affair last time.
When it comes to problems my dad causes, be it a romance...
or a blockbuster, I'll sell tickets.
What? Do you want to pop popcorn or something?
How can you make jokes right now?
Why not? Comedies aren't bad either.
Seriously.
- Sir. - Anyway,
you're looking for a venue...
for the exhibit within Seoul, right?
How can he talk about work right now?
Well, actually, the thing is,
Aunt paged me, so I need to go,
but I waited to see you.
Do you have a message you'd like me to relay?
I'll call my mother myself.
- No. - What are you rejecting?
Anything.
You've been all smiles lately.
Why did you turn back into the dark soul again?
What do you want?
I thought you had changed.
- I'm hanging up. - No, no, no.
You know a lot of people, right?
Can you think of someone for the person of the month?
The deadline is approaching,
but I've been way too busy with my character developments,
and couldn't get anyone.
I'm running out of time. What should I do?
(Duke's Art Gallery)
It's so hard to get a hold of Mr. Na.
I'm sorry.
Since it's the World Population Day,
what about international trade negotiator?
I don't understand what it has to do with the World Population Day,
- but that's a fresh idea. - I know this guy.
He supervises the whole process from importing to distribution...
at the biggest trading company in Korea.
I know this international trader that speaks 11 languages fluently.
I'll interview him. You can just have the photoshoot with him.
- That's even better for me. - Okay.
I'll give you his phone number.
No. I'll come up with the theme of the photoshoot and email it to you.
I can't thank you even then.
Okay.
If this keeps up, Mr. Na has no hopes.
He's so busy that I can't even have a conversation with him.
You waste all your time chasing after him.
Wait.
Is there a way?
Yes.
Do it like the first time.
The plane is landing. It's landing. There you go.
Okay. That's good.
When will this photoshoot be over? I'm busy. I have to leave...
- Is it over yet? - Excuse me. What's up with you?
Please focus.
That's it. I like that.
Cut. That's it. We have enough.
Let's go to the place where we'll have the interview.
- Let's head over there. - Okay. Gosh.
Am I done?
- Are you sure he's coming? - Yes.
He doesn't spare time if it's not about work.
Don't worry. Yook Ryong will push him here soon.
Mr. Na...
is here.
