Jeong Hoon, you wanted to talk.
Mom.
Grandma.
I can't leave Soon Young.
Even if you don't approve, we will...
get married.
Jeong Hoon.
What nonsense is this?
You'll marry without our permission?
How could you be so irrational?
I know that...
what I said will come as a shock to you, Grandma.
Even if you don't accept Soon Young,
I want you to know that I won't change my mind.
I thought I explained so that you'd understood.
How dare you be so stubborn?
I called you our hope and pillar.
I guess I expected too much from you.
I never imagined...
you would disappoint me so much.
I'm saying this hoping that you'll change your mind about Soon Young.
- Jeong Hoon, that's enough. - Mom.
Get up right now.
You shouldn't be so stubborn.
You should think of a way to persuade your grandma.
You can't try to crush her by being stubborn.
It's not that, Mom.
I told her how determined I am.
You're going by it the wrong way.
Even I can't support you if you act like this.
Why focus on her conditions?
It should be about her character.
I know Grandma wants us to flourish again,
but I can do that.
I don't see why my spouse's background should be a hurdle.
Please.
Can't you be on my side?
Please.
I want to study with Jeong Hoon.
I don't want anyone else.
Dad, get him to come back.
He has other plans so I doubt he'll be able to continue.
That's why I'm asking Dad for help.
Dad, I need Jeong Hoon.
I don't want to study with anyone else.
Okay.
If he's the tutor you want, I'll talk to him again.
Promise, Dad.
I won't study with anyone else.
You have to get him to come back.
I said I'd try.
I trust you'll do it, then.
What got into her this time?
She used to say she'd never study with him.
Why did she suddenly change her mind?
Maybe she just got used to him...
and doesn't want a change of pattern.
She'll get used to the next tutor you find her.
That's what I'm saying.
There are willing tutors everywhere we look.
You don't need to get involved.
I'll find her someone else.
Don't you know we owe Jeong Hoon...
for making her want to study?
We hired so many tutors before him...
and none of them succeeded in taming her.
Then what? You'll bring Jeong Hoon back?
I'll try talking to him.
Even if Mi Jin doesn't want him,
he's the kind of person I want to keep close, okay?
Jeong Hoon's not eating?
He won't have an appetite.
Grandma disapproves of Soon Young.
Grandma.
Let Jeong Hoon do as he wants.
He'll live with her forever.
He should marry who he likes.
Jeong Tae.
Jeong Hoon's not like me.
He's thorough and careful when it comes to his own plans.
If he chose her, then she must be a good person.
He can't even eat.
Do you disapprove of her background?
Be quiet and eat your food.
Other than Jeong Hoon,
how are we any better than Soon Young?
Other families will treat us the way we're treating her.
Don't talk so much during a meal.
Have some more, Mother.
I'm done.
Jeong Tae, the urine vats are still outside.
You didn't collect any today?
Mom, I quit the urine business.
You quit? When?
I told the middleman yesterday that I quit.
It's not worth the hassle and I was being a nuisance.
Choon Ja got a rash trying to help me.
I felt terrible for her and her dad.
Choon Ja got a rash?
I had no idea that happened.
Why didn't you tell us about that?
I told you just now.
Then what will you do from now on?
Don't worry about me.
Someone offered me a job, so I'll go over there today.
Someone wants to work with you?
What will you do?
It's not the kind of work you worry about, so don't fret.
What? You quit collecting urine?
Yes. Thanks for cooperating so far.
Did you quit over Choon Ja?
No. The money wasn't worth the hassle.
Sorry about what happened to Choon Ja.
She was just trying to help. Don't worry about it too much.
Choon Ja, Dad's off to work.
Okay.
Jeong Tae, what'll you do now?
Don't get too nosy.
Are you off to work?
Yes. I just overheard you quit collecting urine.
Yes, I did.
I'm glad you quit. You bugged us every morning.
Sorry for bugging you until now.
Choon Sam.
The table's in the room.
Go and eat.
I'll bring some soup.
Okay. Kyung Ho, have a nice day.
I will, Dad. Bye.
- See you. - Sure.
Jeong Tae.
You won't fight people, will you?
I said don't get too nosy.
Is the rash gone?
It disappeared when I put on the cream you got me.
Good.
Jeong Tae.
- Were you very worried? - What?
That's why you got me the cream.
I had no idea you thought so much about me.
Don't get carried away.
I didn't get the cream for you.
I got it in case my mom scolded me.
You say that, but I know you care for me.
I do not, so don't you mind me from now on.
Butt out of my business, okay?
How can I do that? You're mine.
Get off me.
I don't want to.
Why you...
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho.
What?
- Let's watch a movie. - A movie?
Yes. See you outside the cinema.
Okay.
- See you later. - Okay.
- Is someone here? - What?
It was Kyung Ho.
Why was he here?
Did he want to see you?
No.
Did you skip breakfast as a protest against me?
How dare you act out...
because you can't have your way?
You're mistaken, Grandma.
I'm sorry I was rude last night,
but I hoped you would understand how I felt.
Are you being stubborn because you didn't get it?
I cannot accept that young woman.
That's final so you should give up.
Grandma.
Don't you ever bring that up again.
(Hwang Chang Shik, CEO)
Come in.
Did you ask to see me?
Mr. Han, welcome.
I called to ask you a favor.
Jeong Hoon.
Tell him I'd like to see him today, if possible.
- Can you reach him? - Yes, sir.
Okay, then. Call him for me.
Jeong Hoon, are you in?
Yes.
- Jeong Hoon. - Come in.
Why are you here? Didn't you go to work?
I dropped by to see you on the way out on business.
My CEO wants to see you.
It's about his daughter, isn't it?
I said I'd quit.
Oh, I see.
Sorry but can you...
tell your CEO that I can't teach anymore?
Don't you think it's best that you tell him yourself?
I'm caught in the middle.
Okay, then. I'll tell him in person.
Shouldn't you be at work?
I was in the area and dropped by.
Why don't we have lunch together?
I'm expecting a guest. Let's eat together another time.
Sure.
Come in.
- Welcome, Jeong Hoon. - Hello, sir.
Come and sit down.
Sang Pil, you can go.
I'll let you talk, then.
Sit.
Mi Jin said yesterday that...
you can't teach anymore.
Sorry for not telling you sooner.
That's fine.
I called you to ask you for a favor.
Could you help Mi Jin for a while longer?
She said she wants to study with you.
You finally got her...
interested in studying.
It's such a pity that you must quit.
I'm sorry, sir.
I go into training soon.
I can't do both simultaneously.
I see.
You won't have much free time once you join the academy.
How about you tutor her...
whenever you're free?
As long as it doesn't disrupt your schedule.
Can you do that much?
I'm sorry.
It's because I really don't want to let you go.
I'm asking because I think highly of you.
Think about it once more.
I'm thinking of putting Yoo Chae Kyung on our stage.
I'd like to discuss that with Mr. Cha. Where is he?
She isn't with us anymore.
What do you mean?
You released her last single and were working on the next one.
Rainbow Records stole her.
Rainbow Records?
I heard those scumbags hire thugs to steal talent.
Did you lose her?
You should've told me right away. Then...
I'd have sorted out the matter for you.
My boss doesn't like that.
Oh no.
He can pretend to be clean...
and he'll lose his stars.
That's why Lucky Entertainment...
needs someone like me as CEO.
What are you doing?
Mr. Cha.
Rainbow Records snatched Yoo Chae Kyung?
You can't afford to let Mr. Hwang down.
Do better next time.
Why was he here?
To put Yoo Chae Kyung on stage.
So, you told him we lost her?
I just told a fact...
Why should we tell him everything about our business?
Are you that stupid?
- Sorry, sir. - Get out.
Mom, can't I go home first?
There are no customers. You can manage on your own.
Do I have to stay?
Go home.
Can I really go home?
Go straight home, not anywhere else.
See if you can make your grandma feel better.
Okay.
Ok Boon.
Why are you alone?
I just sent Bok Shil home.
She can't stand doing something against her will.
I see.
I'm really sorry about what happened to Choon Ja.
Jeong Tae told me about it this morning.
How is she?
She had a rash but it went away very quickly.
You needn't worry.
That's a relief.
Jeong Tae ended up getting her in trouble.
I'm so sorry and ashamed.
I just said you don't have to be.
How are things with Jeong Hoon?
Is your mother-in-law still against the girl?
She is,
and Jeong Hoon's being very stubborn.
I'm caught in the middle and don't know what to do.
It must be tough for you.
It is.
They seem to love each other so much,
so I wonder if we should give in.
I'm sorry to have to say this,
but Jeong Hoon got this far by doing...
everything he was told.
He must be so upset.
He'll be troubled himself and must feel cornered.
Oh, hello, mister.
You're here again.
What are you if you aren't married?
Are you two dating, then?
What...
You're unbelievable.
I felt sorry for you sitting here selling food all day,
so I came to maybe buy something.
Now I suddenly don't want to buy buns anymore.
Just go on your way. I won't sell you anything.
Don't you need to make a living?
You can't be like that. I told you before.
When there's a customer, you must smile...
and make them feel good so that they'll buy something.
Just go on your way.
Is this how you run a business?
You'll never go beyond a street stall.
- Gosh. - How dare she?
How can someone be that foul?
Good riddance.
Choon Ja.
How do I look?
Do you think I look good enough for a date?
You're going on a date? What about Choon Sam?
What are you talking about?
I'm going to check on Kyung Ho's blind date.
- Kyung Ho has a date? - Yes.
Kyung Ho's going on a blind date with a school teacher.
You should get going.
Don't make the lady wait.
Okay. I'll see you later.
Go ahead. Take care while you're out.
Kyung Ho's going on a blind date?
Where did she put the money Kyung Ho made in Vietnam?
Let's see.
It's not here.
Is it in there?
My goodness.
What are you doing?
What? Oh, me?
These looked like they were going to fall over.
I'm holding into them.
Why did you come back?
I realized that my lips felt bare.
Pass me that lipstick.
What's that?
The stick that turns my lips red.
Oh, that. Okay.
They seem fine now.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
- How do I look? - Great.
Here.
Gosh, I thought my heart would stop.
Where did she hide the money?
How about we have a drink?
Who's in?
Mr. Han bought us snacks last time,
so you're buying drinks today?
You'll go bald if you like freebies too much.
Let's go.
Sir, I have plans. Count me out.
- Really? - You must have a date.
I think so too. You've been in a good mood for a while today.
Was I?
Daeguk Construction Planning Office Han Kyung Ho speaking.
What is it, Mom?
I'm at a cafe right next to your company.
Come over here after work.
Okay, Kyung Ho?
(Cinema)
(Tickets)
Kyung Ho, over here.
Sit.
Yoon Mi Hye, school teacher.
That's Han Kyung Ho, my son.
She's a school teacher, Kyung Ho.
Yoon Mi Hye.
Her father is a headmaster,
and she grew up in a family that...
everyone in lower Sohyun-dong knows.
Say hello.
As soon as he joined Daeguk Construction,
he worked in Vietnam for a year and saved up a lot of money.
Don't get the wrong idea that we're poor...
just because we live slightly higher up the hill.
I think I should get going.
Buy her something nice for dinner...
and chat and have fun.
And then chat some more.
I hope to see you again, Ms. Yoon.
We just met and I'm sorry, but I made plans already.
I didn't know about this date and couldn't cancel.
Don't you have time to even have tea?
I didn't order because I wanted to wait for you.
I see.
Excuse me.
(Cinema)
I saw them sit opposite to each other...
and they were a match made in heaven.
Everyone in Sohyun-dong talked about...
just how handsome Kyung Ho was...
ever since he was a boy.
The young lady had a beautiful face that looked just like the moon.
They looked perfect together.
Why did I get the worry card? Darn it.
The young lady's a school teacher...
and her father is a headmaster.
She's not at all like your niece...
who works at a factory.
What did you just say?
Why would you mention my niece?
When is the wedding feast?
You haven't been bragging about your niece's fiancé.
Did the engagement fall through?
It didn't fall through!
I'm going to meet his family to set a date.
Fix this and put a slit right up the side.
Why do I want a drink already?
Didn't I put a slit in this last time?
Does she want to show her bottom too?
I need to pee right now.
Darling, how did the date go?
Don't even ask. They're a match made in heaven.
I'll tell you after I pee.
Okay, don't be too long.
What about the money?
Can we get enough?
Mal Soon hid the money somewhere.
I can't find it.
What? I already told everyone.
I have to keep looking.
Are you sure about this?
You can't mess up.
My own son...
risked his life in Vietnam to save up that money.
Don't you worry.
Get the money ready, Leader Han.
"Leader Han"?
Okay. Give me a little more time.
Leader Han.
Hello, it's me, sir. You're still at work?
I met Lucky Entertainment's...
Mr. Cha today to ask about...
putting a singer on my stage.
It turns out he lost a rising star to another label.
I called to ask if you knew about that.
Yes, I'm sure of it.
If he'd told me sooner,
I'd have made sure no one touched Lucky Entertainment's...
Hello? Sir.
He hung up on me?
Mr. Hwang shouldn't treat me like this.
Sir, I brought Jeong Tae.
You should bow when you enter a CEO's office.
You don't have any manners.
Just get to the point.
You played hard to get when you were bound to work for me eventually.
I'm not here to work for you.
- It's a delivery job. - Yes.
The job's yours because I can't trust anyone, so good luck.
The products I'll deliver are from the PX?
Did you get them illegally?
If that's the case, I'm out.
What? Do I look like a cheap fraud who would...
steal and sell items from the PX?
You don't need to worry about that.
You're sure I won't get into trouble?
What do you take me for?
Yong Chul, give him the products and address.
Yes, sir.
Follow me. Come on.
Welcome, Oh Jeong Tae.
You just walked right into the net I had waiting for you.
Choon Ja.
Is Kyung Ho back yet?
No. Why are you looking for him?
- You don't need to know. - Wait.
He had a blind date today.
What? A blind date?
Yes. His mom left all dressed up for it.
He went on a blind date?
Hey!
Why did she only ask about Kyung Ho?
Does she not know about my rash?
Bok Shil.
Are you upset?
I'm sorry.
Something came up and I was late.
You'd already left.
I wish you'd waited for me.
You went on a blind date?
- Well... - Is that why you ditched me?
- It's not like that. - Of course it is.
Why invite me to the movies if you had a date?
Don't get me wrong. I had no idea.
My mom called me from a cafe close to work.
I figured it out after I got there.
I left as soon as my mom did.
So, you did meet someone.
I did not. Why would I when I have you? That will never happen.
I don't want that. Don't misunderstand.
What was she like?
Was she pretty? Did you like her?
I didn't even look to see if she was pretty.
- That's a lie. - It's not.
What are you doing out here, Bok Shil?
Mom.
I told you to stay at home. Where were you until now?
I went out for some air.
- Did you get into trouble? - No.
Why didn't you come straight home?
Did you ignore what I said?
Kyung Ho, neither of you are kids now.
Your mom asked you both to be careful.
What are you two doing?
What did we do? Do you have to upset me too?
Ma'am, Bok Shil and I only had a chat.
You two may think you're just good friends,
but others could get the wrong idea, so be careful.
Go on inside.
Okay. Goodnight.
- You're late. - Did you have dinner?
Sang Pil, how are you managing your business?
Is it true that you lost a rookie singer to another label?
You said you were going to record.
Was that a lie?
It went wrong somewhere along the line.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner.
If you never report on time and things like this happen,
how can I trust you with anything?
Dad.
Did you meet Jeong Hoon?
Follow me.
What did you do to upset him this time?
We're upset as it is about Mi Jin's tutor.
What did he say? Will he come back?
Does it have to be him?
I told you that I don't want to learn from anyone but him.
That's just nonsense.
You decided to study.
You should, whoever comes to teach you.
Why the change of tune?
You like Jeong Hoon, too.
Did he say no? He won't teach me?
He can't because he goes into training soon.
Did you just let him off?
You should've asked him to come over once a week, then.
I told him to think about it, so wait.
I will quit studying if he refuses to teach me.
It's up to you.
That brat.
Why didn't you take the day off? You're still sick.
I'm fine now.
I told my grandma that...
we'll get married even if they don't approve.
Why did you put it like that?
That's how determined I am.
I won't give up on you.
Your grandmother must be so angry.
If we show her how happy we are,
she'll come around.
Jeong Hoon.
I told you to trust me and wait.
I won't upset you or let you struggle.
I promise.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry, Jeong Hoon.
Don't say that anymore.
There's nothing to thank or apologize for.
Go on inside.
Bye.
Why are you so late? Did you meet Jeong Hoon?
Yes.
What did he say?
Did he get his family's permission like he said?
Not yet?
He told his grandmother he'd marry me...
even if they don't approve.
Really? He really said that?
I really like him.
A man should have guts.
You picked the perfect one.
Why the long face?
If Jeong Hoon told his family he'll marry you at any cost,
you should be celebrating.
His mother and grandmother must feel so betrayed.
Why do you worry about that?
Just trust him and wait...
and you'll have a successful husband.
Wait, I can't just sit and wait.
Where did he say he lives?
Why do you want to know that?
Why else?
I'll meet his mom and grandmother...
and settle the issue properly.
He lives in Sohyun-dong, right?
Where in Sohyun-dong? In the hilly area?
Don't go, Auntie.
Jeong Hoon said he'd take care of it.
Okay, okay.
Let's see...
- You're late. - Yes.
You should greet your grandmother.
Grandma, I'm home.
Jeong Hoon's home, Mother.
Can we have a chat?
I'm sorry that he raised his voice...
and talked back at you because...
he didn't get his way.
What are you going to say that you'd start off like that?
The young lady Jeong Hoon's seeing.
I understand why you think she isn't up to your standards.
But Mother.
Can't you reconsider accepting her into our family?
Jeong Hoon has to go into training soon.
He didn't even celebrate passing the bar because of this.
It breaks my heart.
You should think of a way to talk him out of it,
not persuade me.
I can't help it that he loves her.
I don't like everything about her,
but Jeong Hoon's adamant...
and we can't say no forever.
I've done nothing for him so far.
I burdened him because he's our eldest son.
He never showed it,
but it must've been a huge burden to him.
Do I not know that?
Can't you let Jeong Hoon...
have his way this time?
I'm worried that...
you and him will drift apart.
I won't change my mind.
If that's all you can say,
get out.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I can't ignore how Jeong Hoon feels.
Bok Shil.
Why aren't you ready and waiting outside?
What now?
Must I call you every morning?
I'll bring the corn bread when it's steamed and ready.
Take these and set up the stall.
You can send Jeong Woo to do that.
I sent him on an errand.
Go on. Take these and go.
Oh dear.
Move, move.
Oh no...
Mom will yell at me when she finds out.
What's all this?
What are you doing here when you wanted to be a singer?
Stay out of it and go on your way.
Let's go somewhere and talk.
I have nothing to say to you.
Oh Se Ra.
Can we talk for a while?
Ma'am, can I ask you something?
- Is this Sohyun-dong's hill area? - Yes.
Do you know Oh Jeong Hoon? He passed the bar.
Do you know where he lives?
What a rundown house.
They live here and they gave Soon Young a hard time?
Is anyone home?
Does Oh Jeong Hoon live here?
Are you in?
Who is it?
My goodness.
What are you doing here?
(Through the Waves)
"My Jeong Hoon"?
Your niece's fiancé?
- You're an unpolished gem. - A gem?
Stop. Let go of me.
I like Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon isn't a bad match for Mi Jin.
Honey.
I need to clean up my mess.
She seemed willing and determined.
- I am alone - Was I mistaken?
Know your place and stay away from Kyung Ho.
Why do you look down on me?
Are you in?
The man Madam Gu's niece will marry...
is Jeong Hoon of all people.
Is Mr. Oh Jeong Hoon in?
What does it say?
