Who are you?
Does Oh Jeong Hoon live here?
Yes, he does.
Are you his mother?
Yes.
I'm Mi Jin's mother.
What?
This is unbelievable.
Do you know why I came all the way here?
I'm here to call off the engagement between our kids.
Why don't you come inside?
(Episode 34)
Is Jeong Hoon not in?
No, he went out.
Please, sit.
Sit where? There are no cushions.
We don't have any. I apologize.
How come you don't even have cushions?
I'll cut straight to the point.
I do not approve of this marriage.
Would anyone want to give...
their precious daughter to your family?
It's not just that.
Why should I accept a man who's dating someone else?
She supported him for four years while he studied.
Doesn't that make her almost a wife?
That woman's aunt grabbed me by the hair.
I understand how she must have felt.
If I were her, I'd kill the man who betrayed my daughter.
I wouldn't let him live.
Do you know how shameless both of you are?
Just because your son is smart,
you sell him over because that's his merit.
How can you say that?
What?
You kept quiet all this time...
and now you're saying I'm doing too much?
I'm not saying Jeong Hoon behaved appropriately, but...
Ok Boon.
You met and should know that Jeong Hoon...
is very thoughtful.
If he made this decision, there must be...
a very good reason...
Yes. I know that very well.
He wants my family's money.
That's why I can't approve of this union.
I won't say any more. Talk to your son.
Don't even dream of hoping to...
benefit from becoming our in-law.
I believe you got my point.
I'll leave.
No. I'll see myself out.
My goodness.
Let's go.
Don't tell Mr. Hwang I was here.
Yes, ma'am.
Who was that?
Jeong Woo, who's the woman who just left?
Daeguk Construction CEO's wife.
Kyung Ho's CEO's wife?
Oh dear, I should've said hello.
Why was she here? To set a date for the wedding?
I don't know.
Where's your mom?
She's talking with Grandma.
Okay, then.
We barely got a word in.
What could we have said?
Should we leave him?
Let him go on?
Let's get him to reconsider Soon Young...
Stop talking about her.
Mother.
They said...
the girl's family all liked him.
My goodness. Gosh.
You heard the news too, Congressman?
Yes, we're going to work on...
a building in Busan.
We owe it all to you.
Yes, I'll pay you a visit soon.
Sure, goodbye.
Come in.
What brings you here?
- Come and sit. - Thanks.
I read all the chronology and financial statements.
- You read it all already? - Yes.
I was able to see the amount of passion...
you put into the company.
It grew so quickly.
There were a few things I wanted to tell you.
Okay, go on.
You're now building...
a luxury apartment complex.
That's great,
but I think you should build homes for the working class too.
Our country needs as many housings as possible...
and the government supports housing for the working class.
If you build more apartments...
the working class could afford,
it will improve awareness to your company as well.
Also, construction begins when you purchase the land.
However, the reports show...
you own substantially little to keep going.
Therefore, you should be more aggressive at purchasing land.
To obtain good plots,
since Korea's a small country, you should consider hills or fields.
I also think you could reclaim mudflats and build on them.
That will take more than a few years,
so you should set up a long-term plan.
I'd also like you to turn your eyes to Asia and...
the Middle East to win construction projects there.
Right. That's a good idea.
Well done.
Jeong Hoon.
Yes, Father.
It's always good to hear you call me that.
I'm glad to have you.
I missed...
growing up with a father.
Now I have you to teach me and show me the way.
I'm very pleased.
- Jeong Hoon. - Yes?
I like you more every day.
The problem is, Mi Jin said...
she wants to reconsider marrying you.
Shouldn't you talk to her?
Father.
Please leave that to me.
Okay.
Whatever happens,
I won't forgive you if you make her cry.
Remember that.
Yes, Father.
(From Lucky Entertainment)
(Lucky Entertainment)
Se Ra, if you're done, send them off.
Send Hye Rin.
I worked since morning and haven't eaten yet.
Why should I run errands?
You and I are different.
Fine. I don't know who's backing you up to be as haughty as this,
but stop bragging about it.
I'll get to the top on my own and be way more successful.
Terry Jung will be here soon.
Hye Rin, get ready for practice.
Don't order me around.
That looks quite heavy.
Do I have to go right now?
I haven't eaten lunch yet.
You need to send them now so they arrive in time.
Okay, fine.
I think we're being too harsh.
She'll be really hungry by the time she gets back.
You do your own job.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Why are you out here?
What took you so long?
Did you smash the records like you did last time?
This time I treated them like they were sacred.
- Let's go and eat. - What?
I'm hungry. Let's go.
I've never eaten soup in rice that tasted this good.
You only missed one meal.
I'm not kidding.
It's almost dinner time.
I know. Eat all you want.
Where and how long...
did Hye Rin train before joining us?
She trained long enough.
Don't think of competing her.
You always defend her.
Why are you treating me, then?
It's because I missed lunch too. I'm not treating you.
Didn't you go out for a lunch meeting?
I only had tea.
Drink a lot of this water too.
What for?
It's boiled bellflower root water.
You know that's good for your throat, right?
Is it?
You really...
You only make me clean.
What's the good use of drinking bellflower root water?
Am I wrong?
Darn it.
Is your jacket very wet?
I should've poured the whole kettle.
Get back to cleaning the office.
Soon Young.
Get up. You need to eat.
Get up.
It won't taste good, but eat.
Why won't you eat? Do you know how upset I am?
What should I do now, Auntie?
Jeong Hoon's grandma asked me to give up...
and Jeong Hoon won't even see me.
I don't know what to do now.
For now, just eat.
Get your strength back...
to fight or get him back.
Come on.
Eat something, Soon Young.
I'm going to get this scumbag.
Where are you going, Auntie?
Follow me.
Or I'll kill you and kill myself.
What'll you do about Soon Young?
She's half-dead right now.
Do you know I went to that woman's house?
Does her family still want you to marry her?
Yes.
Doing this won't change anything.
Why you...
Did you send your grandma?
Did you ask her to make Soon Young give up?
Soon Young and I...
broke up so stop coming to see me.
I have to go.
Why you...
Why are you so late?
Our boss has an eye on us.
Madam Gu, the wife of Daeguk Construction's...
CEO visited Jeong Hoon's today.
- Really? - Yes.
I don't know if it was to set a date...
but she was all dressed up and looked very nice.
If both the mom and daughter are visiting them that often,
isn't it really over with you and your niece?
Darn it.
Why are you chatting instead of getting ready for work?
If you don't want to work, quit!
I was just thinking that I should die...
instead of come here.
What did you say?
Mr. Jo.
I'll talk to her.
I don't like a single person here.
Get out.
I can't stand looking at you either.
Get ready for work.
Sure, we will.
Why are you...
venting at Jeong Tae for?
What did he do wrong?
It's all because of money.
Would Madam Gu have to...
go through this if she were rich?
Blame it all on money.
Money is honor and money is power.
It is.
I'm suffering because I don't have much money.
My goodness.
Bok Shil.
- Were you waiting for me? - Yes.
Let's talk.
I went to Lucky Entertainment to see you today.
When?
I saw you and Mr. Cha return from somewhere together.
I couldn't say hi.
You told me not to show we knew each other,
and I didn't like the feeling.
Bok Shil.
What happened to us?
You want me to stop caring about you,
but I can't do that.
I want you to give up trying to become a singer...
but you can't.
What should we do now?
You won't understand or accept me.
That's what's happening.
Bok Shil.
I can't quit my dream.
I want to succeed as a singer.
This is the only thing I want to do.
It's the only thing I can succeed at.
I like you as you are now, not as a singer.
Kyung Ho.
I'm home.
Mi Jin's mother came over.
You said she accepted you.
She wanted to call it all off.
Are you still going to marry her?
Mi Jin's an only child and her mother adores her.
Whatever the reason,
the bride's mother is against the marriage.
What'll you do?
I don't feel comfortable with how things are going.
That woman...
was full of venom.
I'll make it up to her.
- Jeong Hoon. - You needn't worry.
Prepare to meet Mi Jin's family on Sunday.
Where did you go today, Mom?
You don't need to know.
There won't be a wedding, that's all.
I talked sense into that family.
What did you just say?
You went to Jeong Hoon's?
Why did you act out of line?
I couldn't just sit and watch.
I'm totally against this marriage.
So, what did his family say?
I caused a huge fuss...
and they just sat there and kept quiet.
They didn't want to aggravate me.
Because they want the wedding to happen.
I told you to stop meddling.
Mi Jin.
Jeong Hoon came to my office today.
He went to see you?
Why does he see you and not me?
Give him some time.
I talked to him about that.
What are you two talking about?
- What's going on? - You don't need to know.
What did Jeong Hoon say?
I gave him some reports to read and he's done with them already.
He even suggested a few ways to expand the business.
What were those ideas?
You don't need to know.
He surprises me all the time.
He studied law all his life,
so I thought it would take some time to teach him business.
But he's amazing.
Are you looking for an employee or a son-in-law?
Why bother a two-timer?
He said he'd deal with that,
so trust him.
My goodness.
How much should we trust him?
It's not just about him breaking it off.
What if that woman keeps clinging to him after he's married?
Jeong Hoon won't waver once he's married.
I can tell from his gaze.
How are you so sure?
Listen.
Do you think I got this far on nothing?
I'm a great judge of character.
I can read people.
Can you tell...
if someone's good or bad just by taking a glance?
Yes, I can.
Jeong Hoon has aspirations.
Aspirations?
Yes, that's why he's clinging to Mi Jin.
That's why I don't like him.
What good is a man without ambition?
Jeong Hoon may seem naive and weak,
but inside, he boils with ambition.
That's why he can't abuse Mi Jin.
Do you get that?
Ambition?
Did you talk to Jeong Hoon?
He's gone too far.
Aunt.
He's changed.
He looked into my eyes and talked back at me.
Will you stop crying? What good will crying do?
What a mess.
Why should I back off now?
Who will that benefit?
You don't need to do that.
I swept the yard already.
Don't waste your energy.
There's no harm in sweeping it again.
We're doing this so you don't throw us out.
Mr. Kim, don't you worry about the house...
and have a nice day.
Thank you.
I don't see Kyung Ho. Did he leave for work?
Yes, he left a short while ago.
I see. Choon Ja, see you later.
- Take care, Dad. - See you.
Mal Soon, do the girls at the cabaret...
steal glances at Jeong Tae?
Because he's handsome?
Do you think he looks handsome?
To deserve that,
he should look half as handsome as Kyung Ho.
Kyung Ho's handsome?
He's just tall...
and my neck hurts just looking up at him.
Jeong Tae's a hundred times better-looking.
What? Jeong Tae's handsome?
I can't respond to that in any way other than laughs.
Who said you can laugh?
How dare you laugh in front of me?
It's been a while since we ate breakfast together.
Jeong Hoon.
I'll say just one thing.
Marry Soon Young. Will you do that?
How is work? Is it bearable?
Don't worry about me. I'm fine.
I won't worry about you too.
So marry Soon Young, okay?
I will also believe that you'll marry Soon Young.
Bok Shil, hurry up and eat. Aren't you late for work?
Okay.
Why are you so down?
Are you upset?
No.
We're eating altogether again, so finish your food.
You all need the energy.
Eat up.
Yes, Grandma's right.
- Eat up, everyone. - Yes.
You take this too.
Hello, Mr. Cha.
Can we meet up?
Oh, really?
Okay, then.
I need to go out.
Visit the site,
not just Lucky Entertainment.
Get an update on the demolition before Mr. Hwang asks.
Yes, sir.
Sir, have you decided who to send to Busan?
How can I decide when there are no volunteers?
You. Do you think you could go?
I'm an only son.
Sorry.
Mr. Han's an only son and he volunteered to go to Vietnam.
Mr. Hwang will scream at me over this again.
The young lady's pretty
She couldn't be so pretty
Do must enjoy mopping. You're even singing.
Yes, it's fun.
Why don't you try?
Jin Kyu, I'm going out.
Visit the record shops...
and see how ours are selling.
Yes, sir.
- Take care. - Bye.
- I'm leaving as well. - Take care.
Hey, why won't you even say goodbye?
You're so rude.
Hey, do you know how much these cost?
I wouldn't know. I'm not interested.
Stop it.
I should keep my distance.
That brat.
I'm not jealous of her shoes or clothes.
Wait and see.
I'll be way more successful than you are.
Sorry for asking to see you.
It's fine. I had business in the area.
Did you meet Jeong Hoon?
Yes.
I heard he dated someone for a long time.
And he still wants to marry Mi Jin.
I doubt his motives.
Did you want to see me to discuss that?
You said you recently hired...
a new trainee, right?
Oh Se Ra?
What do you think about her?
She's still rough, but a little training...
and she could become huge.
That's why I'm making her clean and run errands.
To build her spirit.
She complains so much because...
I make her mop the floors.
But sometimes I think she's cute. She amuses me.
She's determined to succeed and she's persistent.
That's why I want to help her.
Why did you ask me about her?
I noticed someone new...
as I left my meeting with you.
I see.
Now that I think of it, Se Ra...
asked me about you too.
She must've seen you briefly.
She asked who you were and...
what you were doing there.
Now I'm wondering if you two...
are interested in each other.
No.
(Lucky Entertainment)
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 came
Tears had tainted my love
I couldn't get over
The sadness I was left with
The love of my life
It's an off-beat, syncopation.
"The love of my life." Okay?
Let's try again.
Sorry, I'll try again.
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
I'm done cleaning the storage room...
and no one's here. Maybe I should practice?
I ordered a cup of coffee
And waited for you to arrive
Good luck. I'm leaving for class.
My wallet. Where did it go?
That's odd.
Was it you?
Did you take it?
You're the only one here.
Hey, have you lost your mind?
Hey, you.
Will you stop that?
Why are you taking me as a thief?
Give it back...
or I'll call the police.
What?
You've really lost your mind.
Hello? Is it the police station?
There's a thief here. Come quick.
Hey, I didn't take it. I didn't steal from you.
- Jeong Tae. - What now?
Don't you fall for it.
What are you talking about?
You may have an attitude but you're very affectionate.
That's why you give in and do people favors.
Even if the other girls chat you up,
push them away and fall only for me, okay?
Choon Ja.
What are you doing?
I'm grateful that you're looking out for me,
but no one bothers me as much as you do.
Get back inside.
Jeong Tae, come home early today, okay?
Why is he so cool?
That's why I can't stop liking him.
Thank you, come again.
- You're out today. - Yes.
- Hello, Mr. Kim. - Hi.
You'd been watching the stall on your own.
Aren't you glad to have your mom back?
Are you out on business?
Yes. I dropped by because I was concerned.
I need to get some flour. Please stay and keep her accompany.
Okay, go ahead. Take care.
I will.
What's going on with Jeong Hoon?
I heard he broke up with his girlfriend...
to marry the daughter of Daeguk Construction's CEO.
It's not official yet.
Ok Boon.
Life tends to take you in...
such unexpected directions, you know.
Yes.
We all go through issues big and small.
But I think Jeong Hoon...
is having the worst time of his life...
because he has to pave his own way...
and that must be hard.
I understand why he made...
such a decision.
His future was very dark.
He's doing this to survive.
That's why I can't scold him.
I don't know what to do.
My mother-in-law...
wants to let him do as he wants.
She would.
Jeong Hoon's so smart...
and he can't even get a decent job.
She'd want him...
to save himself through marriage.
Still, it's not the right thing to do.
Guilty by association.
If it hadn't been for that,
Jeong Hoon would get into law...
and live a successful life accomplishing...
what he wanted to.
What a mess.
Jeong Hoon, why won't you come to see me?
Shouldn't you come to me and beg?
Why do you make me come to you?
Do you really want to call it off?
Or do you think you just have to get on my dad's good side?
Why should I beg to you?
What?
Why should I get on your dad's good side?
Do you think that little of me?
I told you...
to give up if you don't trust me.
- Jeong Hoon. - It's not too late.
If you're not sure about it, quit.
Jeong Hoon.
You can't leave like this.
I trust you. I do.
But that woman's aunt came and caused a fuss.
Mi Jin.
I understand how you feel. I do.
But I never regret any decision I make...
and I keep my goals straight.
Why are you so unsure?
Isn't that because you don't trust me?
Fine. I'm sorry.
Are you confident you won't doubt...
or suspect me again?
Yes, I am.
Jeong Hoon.
Let's get married right after our families meet.
Bad things keep happening...
and it's so upsetting.
Okay. I don't want to waste time.
I want to get married soon.
Then I'll see you every day and...
I won't feel anxious.
Take that,
type it up,
and send it to the staff.
Then carry it out.
"Apartment blocks for the middle-class,"
"reclaiming mudflats."
Who wrote up this report?
You don't need to know.
You worked for me for years.
Why haven't you had any ideas?
Yes, sir.
I get what you mean.
How's the construction going?
Why haven't you reported back?
I sent Mr. Han to check on the situation.
The demolition team...
is still there causing a delay...
Why are you telling me that now?
Must I ask to get an update from you?
Get out.
I apologize, sir.
(Hwang Chang Shik, CEO)
Dong Cheol, aren't you doing your job?
Yes, sir, I was about to...
I'll flatten the place today...
and call you back.
Goodbye, sir.
Go and get the boys.
We're flattening the place today, okay?
Yes, sir.
Sir, what if someone gets hurt?
That's why I need you...
to check on the proceedings.
I told you I won't do work like that.
Just make sure nothing goes wrong.
Let's go.
Get out of here!
We can't.
How many times must I say I have nowhere else to go?
Talking won't get us anywhere.
- Smash the lot! - Yes, sir.
You can't. No!
Stop!
Leave it alone!
Are you crazy?
Get off me!
No...
Why is he...
Hey. Wake up!
(Through the Waves)
- What happened? - It wasn't me.
Boss.
Come with us.
Let go of me!
- I came to say something. - Jeong Hoon.
Mom.
What do you mean you were named a thief?
This is really it.
I won't change, whatever you or your aunt does.
I'll cut off all your hair.
- Get the scissors. - Mom!
Calm down.
Do you not want Mr. Cha to know we know each other?
Mr. Hwang might...
What if the man dies?
Someone must pay the price.
By going to prison?
Why do you ask?
