Okay. Let's do it.
What?
Jeong Hoon.
Marriage.
Let's do it.
You're not teasing me, are you?
Did you just ask me to marry you?
Yes.
It sounds unreal.
I didn't think you'd make up your mind so soon.
I wasn't going to give up, no matter how you would treat me.
But I thought it would take a longer time.
Thank you, Jeong Hoon,
for not making it so hard on me.
How did you make the decision so soon?
You changed me.
I changed you?
You liked me and showed it with enthusiasm.
That's how...
I made the call.
You asked me to marry you.
This is a proposal.
But you didn't say you like me.
I'll ask you one thing.
You said you were betrothed.
What about that woman? Did you end it with her?
When saying what I just said,
it means I ended everything.
Are you sure? Can I trust you?
Okay, I believe you.
Thank you, Jeong Hoon.
(Episode 29)
I didn't think you'd say that to me today.
I just wanted to see you...
to ask you to understand my feelings.
I really can't believe this.
You proposed to me, didn't you?
You should go.
Must we part right now?
Can't we spend more time together?
Sorry. I'm a bit tired today.
Okay. You do look tired.
So I'll let you go today.
Next time we meet, you'd better not look tired.
Okay?
I'm off, then.
Why was your student here to see you?
She said she had business with you.
Is it about something other than the tutoring job?
I'll tell you later.
Okay.
Did you take Soon Young with you to get some air?
Her aunt came to the market.
She said she saw you two go off together.
Did you sort things out and do you feel better now?
Mom, I'm tired.
Don't get what I'm about to say wrong.
I couldn't be of any help to you,
and I'm so glad what great support Soon Young is to you.
I could tell that whenever things got tough,
she must've cheered you on and helped you through.
Soon Young's aunt wants us to set a date.
What do you think?
I'll do whatever you want.
Can't we talk about that later? I want to rest.
Okay, then. I'll let you rest today.
We'll talk about this later.
Get in there.
Well? is that it?
Auntie.
You spent the night with Jeong Hoon, didn't you?
I saw you two go off together yesterday.
But you didn't come home last night,
so I went to Jeong Hoon's mom's stall and asked...
and it looked like he hadn't come home either.
Did you tell Mother that I didn't come home?
Of course I did.
Why did you tell her that?
That way we can seal the deal.
When I mentioned that and suggested we set a date,
she said okay.
- Did she really? - Yes.
Soon you'll become the wife of a legal professional.
We should set a date soon.
(Lucky Entertainment)
I didn't know you were a trainee.
I thought she was a cleaning lady.
I need to talk with Hye Rin. You can leave, Se Ra.
She's a trainee just like me.
I should stay and listen too.
This is no place for you.
Get out.
I'll train you and her differently, in a way that suits each of you.
That's all you need to know, so leave.
Didn't you hear me?
How do you know Daeguk Construction's Mr. Hwang?
I think you should ask Mr. Hwang.
I will, then.
You haven't met yet.
This is Heo Jin Kyu. He's on my staff.
If you need anything, talk to him.
I will give him instructions on deals related with you.
You can leave for now.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Did you pick her too?
Did you follow her around like you did me?
Don't you get nosy and concentrate on your chores.
Why did he bring someone else...
when he said he'd make me a singer?
Talk to me.
Is there really nothing left?
Honey. Mal Soon.
I deserve to die for what I did.
Can you call yourself human?
Your son risked his life to earn that money.
You gambled it all away with not even a penny left?
- What are you, a moron? - Mom.
I really didn't...
take the money to gamble with it.
I'd gotten sick of the cabaret's boss cursing...
and kicking me when I'm much older.
Kyung Ho needs to get married too,
so I wanted to start a troupe...
to be a decent father to him.
That's why I took the cash.
You wanted to be a decent father...
and you ended up going gambling?
That was because we didn't have...
enough money and tried to win more.
Johnny Kim persuaded me.
Don't blame him.
Your darned hands lost your son's savings.
How will you face your own son?
You did nothing for him as a dad,
and then you took and lost...
everything he earned working at a war zone.
You and I both, we don't deserve to even face our own son.
I deserve to die, I know that.
Kyung Ho, I did a terrible thing. I wronged you.
Will you stop it now?
There's no turning it back.
Kyung Ho, I'm so sorry.
It's my fault for not keeping a closer eye on the money.
What a lovely day it is
Hey, is Choon Sam home?
Yes. He gambled and lost all of Kyung Ho's money.
Oh dear.
He's the reason I got named a thief.
My goodness, what on earth happened?
I feel so sorry for your own son.
How could you take your son's savings and lose it all?
I'm a complete fool.
Oh dear...
Mom, where are you going?
I'm not allowed a day's rest.
I have to work...
night and day forever to make up for the lost money.
You can't work when you haven't eaten for days.
Stay at home.
Let me go. I'm responsible for losing the money.
I have no right to stay at home.
Don't just stand there. Go with her.
You missed work the past few days.
It must be a right mess over there too.
You're so scatterbrained.
Wait, Mal Soon! Mal Soon!
Oh dear, oh dear.
Hey.
Is it true you took my husband gambling?
What? You two played cards again?
Is that why you missed work?
From now on, I will confiscate everything you earn, okay?
Why would you take my earnings?
You helped gamble away my son's savings.
You should help pay it back too!
What do you mean they gambled away your son's savings?
What are you all doing here?
Didn't I say you're fired?
Yong Chil, come on.
Get out of here. The boss fired you.
- Come on. - Yong Chil.
Boss, will you forgive them just this once?
My husband will work hard and not miss a day's work.
Come on now, please forgive him.
Boss. Please forgive me.
You deal with them both.
Mr. Jo, please.
- Ma'am. - Mal Soon.
What should we do now?
We lost all of Kyung Ho's money and our jobs at the cabaret.
How are we to survive now?
Jeong Tae, could you talk to Mr. Jo for us?
What are you doing here anyway?
He's our new floor manager.
The more I see you, the more handsome you are.
Jeong Tae, you're the floor manager.
Wouldn't the boss do as you suggest?
Okay. I'll try and talk to him.
Okay, thank you, Jeong Tae. Please do that for us.
Boss, can't you give them another chance?
Why?
I'll watch them carefully. Give them a chance.
Must I forgive them just because you know them?
You can't let emotions run a business.
I know that,
but it's just this once.
It's the first ever favor you asked,
so I'll grant it this time. Okay.
Thank you.
Stop.
I have an issue that needs handling though.
I need you to take care of it for me.
As you know, it's tit for tat. Don't you think?
What is it?
It's not a difficult task, so don't worry.
I'll fill you in later. You can go for now.
Okay.
Saxophone actually helped me out.
I needed an excuse to get Jeong Tae involved.
You have something to share, Mi Jin?
Yes, Dad.
What is it that made you wait all day long for him to come home?
What is it?
Jeong Hoon proposed to me.
What?
He proposed?
Yes. Jeong Hoon wants to marry me.
What did you say? Did you say yes?
Why even ask? It's what Mi Jin wanted.
He insisted he didn't like you.
Why did he suddenly propose?
What is he up to?
What would he be up to?
I bet he just thought carefully and decided.
He wants to marry Mi Jin for our money.
He's not marrying her because he likes her.
Must we let her marry him?
It's not like that.
He changed his mind when he realized I liked him a lot.
He accepted my heart.
That's the same thing.
Did he say he likes you? That he loves you?
He didn't!
Sang Pil, why are you so quiet? Say something.
What does he have to do with my marriage arrangements?
Dad, will you rush our wedding? I want to get married soon.
Okay. If the both of you have made up your minds,
there's no reason to delay.
Honey, take some time to think about this.
What the fortune teller said still bothers me.
She saw he had a woman.
Stop it. Don't even think of going back there.
Mom, don't disapprove of Jeong Hoon anymore.
I like him and...
he proposed to me, your daughter.
Isn't that good enough?
Dad, marry us off as soon as possible. Please?
Mi Jin.
Sir, shouldn't you think twice about marrying Mi Jin to Jeong Hoon?
What do you mean?
Like Auntie said, you should find out about him.
He's not someone who can help run your business.
He'll work in the legal field.
Why are you concerned about that?
You focus on Lucky Entertainment.
And pay more attention to the trainee I sent over.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Mi Jin. Mi Jin.
You both have to love each other for a marriage to work.
He proposed to you for your money.
Mom.
Such jerks are obvious.
They grew up dirt poor and would just...
love to marry a girl like you.
Will you stop it, Mom?
He might be seeing someone else.
What'll you do if he...
dumped his girlfriend to marry you for your money?
Will you please find out what...
Whatever you say, nothing will change my mind.
I really like Jeong Hoon.
That's why I want to marry him.
Mi Jin.
I'll ask you one thing.
You said you were betrothed.
What about that woman? Did you end it with her?
When saying what I just said,
it means I ended everything.
Are you sure? Can I trust you?
Jeong Hoon, where did you go to get fresh air?
Do you feel better now?
Yes.
Try this. Soon Young made it.
Grandma, did you accept her as Jeong Hoon's wife, then?
I washed the handkerchief. Give it back to her.
I'll put it on your desk.
Finish breakfast quick and get going.
Bok Shil, you need to rush to get ready for work.
Don't you work in the mornings?
Can you go to work late?
I come home really late instead.
What company is it that you work odd hours?
I work at the cabaret that Kyung Ho's parents work at.
What? Don't the people there get into fights and things?
They don't. I'm done fighting now.
I'm going to change my ways.
By the way, Kyung Ho's family is in total uproar.
- Why? - Choon Sam took the money...
Kyung Ho saved up from Vietnam and gambled it away.
Really? Kyung Ho's dad had taken the money?
Yes. He missed work for a few days while gambling,
and our boss wanted to fire him.
But I asked to keep them on so we will.
I feel bad for Kyung Ho.
He lost the money he risked his life to save up.
That's terrible.
How could something like that happen?
What's wrong with that man?
How could he gamble away that money?
Mom, get up and eat.
Do you think I'd be able to?
You can't do this forever. You need to get over it.
Yes. Try to eat something.
What'll you do now that we're fired?
How dare you even sit in this room?
Do you want to see me die of fury?
No, no.
I'm the one who should die. I can't cause your death, no.
I can't do that.
How's your wife? Did she eat a bit?
Not at all.
You fool.
Dad.
Jeong Tae.
- Are you leaving for work? - Yes.
What are you doing here in the morning?
I wanted to see Choon Sam.
Me?
Did Mr. Jo say we're not welcome anymore?
Did he really fire me?
You can start work tonight.
I can? Then I wasn't fired?
What's this about?
Jeong Tae's the floor manager at our cabaret.
Is he really?
The place you work at...
is the same cabaret Kyung Ho's parents work at?
Did you ask Mr. Jo for a favor?
To keep me on?
He'll give you one last chance.
Don't mess it up.
What's this I heard? We didn't lose our jobs?
We didn't. Jeong Tae talked to the boss...
and we can go back today.
Is that true, Jeong Tae? Thank you so much. Thank you.
I can't believe you did us a favor.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Jeong Tae.
Shouldn't you leave? Aren't you late?
Yes, Kyung Ho, we might be late. Let's go.
- Choon Ja, I'm off. - Take care.
- See you. - Bye.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
Thanks. And congratulations on your new job.
Thanks.
- Thank you so much. - Dad, make sure Mom eats.
Yes, yes. Darling, let's go inside and eat.
Don't you touch me.
I'm really sorry about everything.
Jeong Tae.
Can't you not work there?
Can't you work somewhere else?
- What? - I feel too anxious.
Why must you work where there are lots of girls?
Why would you feel anxious?
Know your place.
Darn it.
Were you waiting for me?
Yes. To walk to work with you.
- Really? - Your dad...
took your money?
Is it really all gone?
You must be so upset.
Let's go or we'll be late.
Okay. Let's go.
Hey.
I cleaned the CEO's office and this room.
You clean the storage room.
Why would I do that?
You're new here and don't know yet,
but every trainee here starts by cleaning and running errands.
I'm your senior, so do as I say.
The storage room's that way. Go.
What a joke. How dare you tell me to mop?
Do you think I'm like you?
What? Don't talk to me like that. How old are you?
Me? I'm 23.
I'm a senior studying English Literature at Hanguk University.
Hanguk University?
How old are you? Did you go to university?
I...
I'm 24, a year older than you.
Treat me with respect.
What?
Sir, didn't you tell her what to do...
now that she's a trainee?
I told her to mop and she won't.
You tell her what to do.
Take Hye Rin to the academy and start on her training.
Yes, sir.
Go with him.
Why are you letting her practice right away?
She trained long enough at another company before coming here.
She's not like you who had no basic training.
Must I explain everything to you?
When will you let me sing?
Why do you talk and complain so much?
Must I argue with you all the time?
Get out.
Go on, get out!
Love passed me by and has now gone
Everyone leads a lonely life
My world was a shabby place
With just one sad love story
One day, when autumn had come
Tears had
When you hit the high notes, put emotion into it.
Try to sound more cheerful. You're good, let's try again.
One day, when autumn had come
Tears had tainted my love
I couldn't get over
The sadness I was left with
Come in.
Welcome.
I was hoping to see you. Take a seat.
Thank you.
Mi Jin told me.
You asked her to marry you.
Yes.
I came to ask for permission.
I'm glad you came.
How did you come to the decision?
I did ask you to join my family and work for me,
but I didn't expect you to agree so readily.
Sorry for causing concern.
No, no, I'm sure you had a lot to think about.
I understand.
What will you do about your legal career?
Will you stick to that?
I'd like to help run your business.
Would you?
That can't have been an easy decision to make.
Why did you decide to do so?
Like you said,
I want to accomplish something in a bigger world.
You're smart and not only saw but understood what I meant.
I'll ask you just one thing.
As Mi Jin's father,
I want to be very sure about this.
You said you were betrothed to someone.
What'll you do about her?
I will...
deal with that issue so you needn't to worry.
Will you? Are you sure?
You won't upset Mi Jin over this, will you?
I won't.
Good. I trust you.
Come over tomorrow and meet my wife properly.
You should get her approval too.
Yes, sir.
Good, good.
Hello.
Hello, how are you?
Hello there.
Hello.
Did Jeong Hoon tell you that...
he took Soon Young on a trip?
Yes.
I did some thinking.
Since they even went on a trip together,
shouldn't we rush the wedding?
We should.
We're on the same page, aren't we?
I went to a very famous fortune teller.
And sorted which date would be auspicious.
For the wedding?
Look. This day, this day,
and this day are good ones.
If they marry on...
one of these days, they'll be very happy.
Which day would you like?
I'll talk to my mother-in-law.
You will?
She's decided to accept your niece.
I'll give her your message...
and decide when to marry them off.
I need to talk to Jeong Hoon too.
I like you so much. You're actually quite decisive.
Can I have a steamed bun?
Yes, of course.
I missed your steamed buns so much.
It's delicious.
Grandma, I'm off to work.
Okay.
Hello, Soon Young.
Hello, Grandmother.
Hello, welcome.
You treat her completely different now.
Stop being silly and go to work.
Okay.
You know I liked you from the start, right?
See you around, Soon Young.
I'm sorry but Jeong Hoon's out.
That's okay. I'm not here to see him.
I wanted to spend time with you.
- I'll do that for you. - Leave it.
You needn't to help when you're still a guest.
No, give me that.
Gosh, look at the time.
I'm off. Finish up your work and go home.
- Okay. - Yes, sir.
He always leaves right on the dot.
Why don't we all go out for dinner?
Han Kyung Ho from Daeguk Construction's Planning Office.
Bok Shil.
What's up?
I thought you'd feel bad and wanted to cheer you up.
Did you?
How could your dad do that?
It's so upsetting.
Don't you hate him too?
How can I? He's my dad.
He gambled away the money you worked so hard to save.
Bok Shil.
Do you remember what I said as a kid?
I wished my dad would be like other ordinary dads.
I remember. You said something like that.
My dad traveled up and down the country with his saxophone.
I'm sure he didn't enjoy that life.
Always being on the road.
That's why he wanted to start a performing troupe.
A performing troupe?
Did he take your money to start a business?
Yes.
I see.
Even so, how could he lose all your money?
I do blame him for it,
but I understand.
In the music industry,
only a few succeed and the rest suffers in poverty.
That's why he was easily lured.
You're a good son.
I wouldn't have thought like you do.
Bok Shil.
That's why I can't support your dream of becoming a singer.
Because I know what the music industry's like.
Do you understand?
What? Yes... I understand.
It feels good that you're here to comfort me.
How's the factory? Is the work manageable?
What? Yes.
Someone new came after me.
- A rookie? - Yes.
But you know what? The boss is a real jerk.
He won't make her clean or run errands.
She just...
He only bosses me around. Does that make sense?
Say no. Why should only you do all that?
Exactly. I can't stand the CEO.
He's a jerk.
You won't be able to move then.
Since you have no money.
No.
Your mom wanted to move and get you married.
That's why you met someone.
Will she stop setting you up on dates?
I never wanted to marry someone I met on a blind date.
Your mom will look for someone who suits you.
Bok Shil.
What?
Do you know why I don't want to go on blind dates?
It's because of you.
Because of me?
Yes.
I already know who I want to marry.
What use is a blind date?
What?
- Grandma, I should go. - Okay.
Why don't you stay until Jeong Hoon comes home?
Must you leave already?
I'll see him next time.
I cooked dinner.
Hi, how are you?
You needn't to be so polite.
I should for now. Mother, where's Jeong Hoon?
He left during the day and isn't back yet.
Soon Young cooked dinner for us.
What for? You really didn't have to.
Ask her to stay for dinner, then.
Okay. Why don't you eat with us?
Jeong Hoon will be home soon.
No, Mother. I'll come by another day.
Your aunt came to see me at the market today.
She wanted to set a date and I agreed.
I'll talk to my mother-in-law and Jeong Hoon.
We'll pick a date.
Yes, Mother.
Jeong Hoon.
Were you here waiting for me?
I'm coming from your place.
Soon Young.
Mother says she'll pick a date for our wedding.
I have something to say.
About what?
I can't talk here.
Let's go somewhere else.
What do you want to say?
Why do you look so downcast?
What do you have to say?
Let's...
break up, Soon Young.
Jeong Hoon.
What are you talking about?
You want to break up with me? Why?
(Through the Waves)
Love and marriage are separate.
Did you ask him?
- Does he have a woman? - He doesn't.
I can't share my future with you.
You really don't know your place.
- Hey! - What!
Mother. Please talk to Jeong Hoon.
I can work for you at Daeguk Construction...
You wanted to work here,
so you ran the other company for show?
I don't want to stay at a company that discriminates people.
Didn't you say I wouldn't do this?
Then fire Saxophone.
Se Ra wouldn't quit like this.
It's over between us.
Let's go inside.
Does your family know I'm coming?
