I'd like to rush the wedding.
What do you think?
Why should we rush it?
Mom.
Let's do that.
We all approve of the union,
so why take our time?
If that's what you think, ma'am,
I'll set a date in the near future.
Now that I'm getting ready to marry off my daughter,
I have so many concerns.
My wife and I both loved and spoiled her.
We didn't teach her how to keep a house.
I hope you both understand...
and accept that.
Of course.
You raised your only child and daughter so preciously.
I'm more concerned...
if she'll be able to live with us and manage the family.
Once a woman is married,
she becomes a member of her husband's house.
She's smart enough,
so she'll manage to learn if you teach her well.
What are you saying?
You'll let Mi Jin live with them?
You be quiet.
I'm not sure if I'm being out of line,
but after they get married, I'd like to keep Mi Jin close...
to teach her...
what she needs to know and how she should run a house.
As you know,
I also run a company though it's not very big.
I'd like to keep Jeong Hoon close, like a son,
teach him the business and rely on him too.
What do you both think?
What are you trying to say?
I'd like...
Jeong Hoon to live with and work for me.
What?
Jeong Hoon is...
my eldest grandson.
He should live with you?
Now that's just wrong.
I see I surprised you with my sudden suggestion.
Please don't be angry.
I can very well imagine what high hopes...
you had for Jeong Hoon.
You will have raised and taught him well.
Don't think that I'm taking Jeong Hoon from you.
Think of it as a loan of sorts.
Could you please be understanding?
I'll pretend that...
you didn't just say that.
You want Mi Jin to live with you?
She can't live in a house like yours.
Mom.
As you know, Mi Jin is my only child.
In the end, Jeong Hoon will inherit my business.
I'd like to keep him close...
and teach him the ropes.
I would like the both of you to please understand.
Whatever you say,
I will not agree to a marriage where I must...
give up my grandson.
Did I ask for too much?
I apologize if I upset you.
Since both families met,
will Jeong Hoon marry soon?
I thought Mom wouldn't go.
She went for Jeong Hoon's sake.
Exactly.
She does what Jeong Hoon wants but not what I want.
Welcome home, Grandma.
Jeong Hoon, come inside.
Did something go wrong?
They look displeased.
Did you know that's what he was thinking?
No. That was the first time I'd heard it too.
How could someone be so rude? He wants you to live with them?
I'd object even if it were Jeong Tae...
or Jeong Woo.
How dare he ask such a thing knowing...
you're the eldest son?
He can't take you from us.
I'd rather call off this marriage...
than give you away, so that's that.
I can't agree to such an arrangement.
That's final, so don't get ideas.
Get out.
How did the meeting go?
Don't even ask. It was a disaster.
Why, Aunt?
Your uncle asked them to let Jeong Hoon live with us...
and his family objected.
He'll live with us?
It's for the better.
Honey, call the wedding off.
Jeong Hoon's family looked like...
they'd do the same anyway.
They can't!
What if they say I can't marry Jeong Hoon?
Don't cause a fuss.
I'll talk to Jeong Hoon. Mi Jin, go upstairs.
Would he listen to you...
when his grandmother's furious?
How did you think of letting Jeong Hoon live with us?
I wondered why...
you wanted a poor son-in-law...
and you had a plan.
Did you hand over the money?
I gave it to the woman's aunt...
and told her to leave us alone.
And? Did she say she'd do so?
Don't you worry.
Her eyes almost popped when she saw the money.
Why wouldn't they?
The likes of her would never have seen so much money.
She got lucky because she got to know us.
Then that's done.
What will you do if Jeong Hoon refuses to...
move in with us?
Will you call it off?
Will you stop saying that?
Then we gave away the money for nothing.
This is enough...
to open a decent store with.
Then Soon Young can quit the factory.
With this money...
I can marry Soon Young to someone...
much better than Jeong Hoon.
Soon Young, get up.
What do you want?
You should...
give up on Jeong Hoon.
Don't cling to someone who left.
Let him go.
Why are you doing this?
You said that...
you don't think he'll come back.
Don't cling to someone who doesn't like you anymore.
He didn't leave because he doesn't love me.
What?
I know that much.
Something happened that I don't know about.
Will you wait until he comes back?
Wake up, you fool.
He's blinded by money and won't come back.
What do you mean?
Drop the issue.
Give up on him.
We can move away and start over.
I hate seeing you like this.
You have so many years ahead of you.
How long must you stay in bed pining for the likes of him?
Let's talk.
As you know,
this marriage with Mi Jin bothered me for many reasons.
You can't practice law...
or work at a company,
so you must feel like you're locked in.
I think you chose to marry Mi Jin as a means to get out.
I was so worried about that.
That's why I'd like you to reconsider...
this marriage altogether.
Not only can you not move in with them,
but I think you're not making the right decision.
You didn't...
break up with Soon Young because you fell out of love.
Don't talk about her.
I don't want to listen.
Jeong Hoon.
I know what you're worried about.
That's not why I'm insisting I want to marry Mi Jin.
I didn't know that...
Mi Jin's father wanted me to live with him.
Since I was young,
you and Grandma called me the pillar of our household.
If I were to leave, our family would crumble.
Yes, Jeong Hoon.
You're not like Jeong Tae or Jeong Woo.
How can you live with strangers?
They aren't strangers.
They're my future wife's parents.
Jeong Hoon.
Hey.
Why aren't you asleep?
Jeong Tae's not back yet.
Really?
He didn't come home yesterday.
What's going on?
Did Jeong Tae come home last night?
No, Grandma.
Jeong Hoon, visit Mi Jin's father today...
and wrap up the matter from yesterday.
We cannot and will not accept it.
Why won't you answer?
I'll deal with it.
Did something happen?
Be quiet.
I'm just asking because you looked so serious.
You and I need to chat later.
I finished eating, Grandma.
Jeong Woo, take this to the kitchen.
Okay.
Bok Shil, you stay at home...
from now on.
Mom.
I let you off yesterday because you wanted an apology.
Don't you dare go back again.
I won't forgive you, okay?
I know what you're worried about.
What you worry about won't happen.
I promise.
Don't you get what I'm saying?
I do, I do get it.
But I can succeed as a singer.
My CEO said I'm talented.
That's why he came over here,
to help me succeed.
You still haven't grown up?
Go to your room. Go!
Mom, trust me this once.
Get inside.
Why are all my kids giving me a hard time?
You're going out?
You'll get scolded again.
What brings you here so early in the morning?
I'd like to talk to Mal Soon.
Mal Soon, can we talk?
Sure. Do you need to see me?
Was Jeong Tae at the cabaret yesterday?
Jeong Tae? No.
I didn't see him yesterday.
No?
I saw him grab Yong Chil...
by the throat two days ago...
and haven't seen him since.
He grabbed someone by the throat?
Yes, as if they were fighting.
Jeong Tae had him by the throat.
Ok Boon, Jeong Tae didn't come home last night?
No. He hasn't been home for two days.
I'm worried something happened.
I thought he was working hard...
and had turned himself around.
I'm sure he's fine.
Yes, of course.
Since Jeong Tae started working at our cabaret,
- he got our jobs back. - He did.
He'll be fine. Don't worry too much.
- Yes. - Okay.
If you see him at work,
tell him to come home.
Sure, sure, I'll do that.
Why haven't you left for work yet?
I'm off now.
- Take care. - See you.
They say your kids...
are the creditors from your previous life.
Ok Boon stresses about...
her kids day and night.
You and I, we only have one creditor to deal with.
Isn't that a relief?
It is.
Choon Ja, I'm off to work.
Okay.
- Bye. - See you.
- I need to go too. - Oh dear.
Is Jeong Tae in trouble?
Why didn't he come home?
Was he at the cabaret?
No, he wasn't.
- Are you going out? - Yes.
Jeong Tae wasn't at work?
No.
Two days ago at the cabaret, he grabbed...
Yong Chil's throat and they fought.
He hasn't come to work since then.
Do you think he got into trouble?
You said he talked to you about a friend.
What was that about?
It was nothing.
I'll go to the cabaret and talk to Yong Chil.
Is Bok Shil in her room?
Mom, Bok Shil...
This brat went out again?
- Did you see her leave? - Yes.
You should've stopped her.
You let her go out...
after what you heard me say to her?
Can't you let her work at the agency?
Stop talking nonsense.
Hey, apologize properly.
Why should I apologize again?
I did so yesterday.
Apologize properly like you mean it.
How can you mean or not mean an apology?
Did you pretend to lose your wallet to mess with me?
Why would I do that?
You need to get your head straight.
What?
You think we're on the same level because I put up with you.
You're wrong.
You can never be my equal.
You're just a cleaner.
Wipe this desk. Look at all this dust.
Who are you to order me around?
Clean the place properly.
Isn't that what you do?
What are you two up to? Are you still arguing?
We weren't arguing.
She let her inferiority complex get to me,
so I told her to clean properly.
I'm off to practice.
Se Ra, did you get your mother's permission?
I said I'd deal with that.
Hello, this is Lucky...
I'm Oh Se Ra.
Kyung Ho?
Now?
Where are you?
I think Hye Rin's out of line.
They're both trainees,
but Hye Rin treats Se Ra terribly.
Stay out of it.
Se Ra's the one you really want to keep.
I'm afraid that all this conflict...
with Hye Rin will end up making Se Ra leave.
I get that. You can go.
He wants Jeong Hoon to move in?
Why are you out during the day?
I had a meeting and dropped by to see you.
What for?
Did your mom give permission?
No.
Can you come out, then?
I won't give up, whatever mom says.
I told you so already.
What will you do?
Do you think your mom will let you work at Lucky?
What is it you want to say?
Your mom's against it because she's worried about you.
Don't you get that?
I actually feel better now that Mom knows.
I'll tell her what it is I want to do...
and I'll persuade her.
I told you already that...
you should stop caring if you won't side with me.
I don't like you being so interfering.
Bok Shil.
I left without telling anyone. I have to go.
Bok Shil.
You need to get back to work.
You should go. Bye.
Why are you here?
I want to say something.
Can't we talk about it at home? Go on, then.
Was letting...
Jeong Hoon move in with us all part of the plan...
when you let Mi Jin marry him?
Why do you want to know?
When I said I wanted to...
work here with you, you said no.
Are you going to put Jeong Hoon in charge of Daeguk Construction?
You're doing a good job with the agency.
Shouldn't I put Jeong Hoon in charge of construction?
Sir, ever since you took me in when I was orphaned during the war,
you were a father to me,
not just a distant relative.
I still think so.
I worked for you and with you...
as if a son would work for his father.
I know that.
You are like a son to me.
You want Jeong Hoon to move in with us...
so you can leave Daeguk to him.
That hurts me.
Don't you trust me?
It's not like that.
Like I told you last time,
when the time comes, you'll see why I made you run...
an entertainment company.
Then you will be a great help to me.
Jeong Hoon hasn't proven himself yet.
I want to keep him close to watch him.
If I decide he's not meant to run a business,
I can leave Daeguk in your hands then.
Come in.
Welcome.
You can go, Sang Pil.
- Sit. - Thanks.
I was going to ask to see you. I'm glad you came.
I think my suggestion yesterday...
shocked your grandmother. Did it shock you too?
To be honest,
I didn't think you'd say that.
I see that. So,
what do you think?
I do want to marry Mi Jin and help you run your business,
but please don't ask me to move in.
I want to keep you close for one reason only.
A son-in-law is a son.
You should inherit Daeguk Construction.
I want to keep you close...
and teach you how to run it.
I was very impressed with the report you gave me.
It was great.
I think you'll be able to take over...
and turn it into something much larger.
I'm actually planning something other than running a business.
That's why I want to...
teach you quickly so you can take over.
Jeong Hoon.
Think about it again very carefully.
(Daeguk Construction)
Jeong Hoon.
Did you meet my dad?
Yes.
What did you talk about?
We can't talk here. Let's go somewhere quiet.
I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
I was afraid our marriage would fall through...
because of what my dad said.
What did your mom and grandma say?
Did they say no?
I am the eldest son.
So we can't get married? Will they call it off?
What do you think?
What did you tell my dad?
I need some time to think.
I understand. You're the eldest son.
It won't be easy to move in with my family.
But Jeong Hoon.
Can't you accept my dad's offer?
I like you so much and want to marry you,
but to be honest, I don't think I can live in your house.
Can't you stay with us for a few years...
while I...
make it up to your family and siblings?
Can't you do that, Jeong Hoon?
Please.
If you do that for me,
I'll be really good to you and your brothers and sister.
I promise.
Did you go out?
I feel asleep and didn't hear you leave.
Don't you care if my engagement falls through or not?
How could you nap?
What are you worried about?
If he'll move in, it's on.
If he won't, it's off.
Mom!
Did you go out to see someone?
Jeong Hoon.
And? What did he say?
Will he move in or not?
He needs time to think about it.
What's there to think about?
You won't last a day in his house.
Marry him if he'll move in and don't if he won't.
I'd love for it to fall through.
Hey. You know who I am, don't you?
Yes. You're Jeong Tae's brother.
I saw you around the neighborhood.
- Did he miss work again? - Yes.
Why did you ask to see me?
To ask if something's up.
He missed work...
and hasn't come home in two days.
You two fought. What was that about?
Is that why he missed work?
No, that's not why.
Him and me...
We didn't agree on how to manage the cabaret.
I see. So you don't know what's up with him?
No.
He said something strange a few days ago.
- Something strange? - Yes.
Someone his friend hit was gravely wounded.
He said it wasn't about him,
but I got worried when he didn't come home.
Do you know anything?
What? Oh, no.
I don't.
- I don't know anything. - Okay.
We're waiting for him too.
If you see him, tell him I looked for him.
Tell him we're worried, that he should come home.
Okay.
Where were you at?
Jeong Tae's older brother was here.
What? Why?
He'd heard about the accident.
How? What did Jeong Tae tell him?
How much does he know?
Not too much.
He said someone his friend hit was gravely wounded.
He asked if I knew anything.
He got worried because Jeong Tae hasn't been coming home.
That's it?
Sir, is the floor manager not here again today?
What do you want?
We haven't seen him for a few days.
Madam Gu...
- has missed work for two days too. - Yes.
Did any of them contact you?
Things are complicated as it is.
Why are you people making it worse?
Get out. Get out of here right now!
Get out. Go.
Is the floor manager in trouble?
Will you tell us something?
Get out, will you?
Jeong Tae you fool.
Where are you hiding?
I need you to get arrested...
so I can relax.
Can I have two?
I'll serve the lady first.
How did it go?
Did you go to Jeong Tae's workplace?
He wasn't there.
Do you think something happened to him...
and he's in trouble?
Why else would he...
miss work and not come home?
Did you hear anything?
Nothing much happened there.
I think he's trying to help...
the friend he mentioned to me.
He can get a bit nosy.
If it's about his friend, then that's a relief.
Bok Shil. You come back here.
Mom, please forgive me.
Will you let me work there?
I told you time and time again and you still sneak out?
Must I shave your hair off to make you listen?
- Mom. - Go to your room.
What is this about now?
Jeong Hoon, get a hammer and nails.
Let's lock her in her room.
She just won't listen. Go inside.
Mom, will you stop? Bok Shil, go to your room.
My goodness.
Did you talk to Mi Jin's dad?
Yes.
Did you say you won't move in with them?
Why won't you answer? Did you not talk about it?
He told me to think about it, so I didn't answer.
What's there to think about?
You should've said you'd rather not get married than live with them.
I said no, didn't I?
Didn't you go to work?
I checked out our new house.
Our house?
Yes. Now we have the money to, we'll leave this hole...
and live in a decent house.
What money?
We don't have any.
What? Well, you see...
I'd been saving up in secret.
To end it with Jeong Hoon,
we must move to where no one knows.
That way you can move on.
What got into you?
Did you do something in secret?
Did you meet Jeong Hoon? Or did you go to his house?
I did not.
I just want you to forget about Jeong Hoon...
and start over.
I want to keep you close for one reason only.
A son-in-law is a son.
You should inherit Daeguk Construction.
I want to keep you close...
and teach you how to run it.
I like you so much and want to marry you,
but to be honest, I don't think I can live in your house.
Do you think Jeong Tae's in trouble?
Why else would he not come home in three days?
Grandma, I'm coming in.
I have something to say.
What about?
I will...
live with Mi Jin's family.
What?
You'll live with them?
Wait, Jeong Hoon.
Your birthright is from the deities.
What does that mean?
Unlike other sons,
the eldest son must live for his family.
You're like a father to your younger...
brothers and sister.
You want to live with your in-laws?
Will you never see me, your mom...
or your siblings ever again?
Moving in with them doesn't mean I'm deserting you.
What's wrong with you?
What made you want to live with her family?
Mi Jin...
can't get used to our lifestyle.
She's an only child and daughter,
so I'll inherit the company.
I'll live with her family...
and learn the ropes.
Please understand.
Jeong Hoon. Jeong Hoon.
My goodness.
He has betrayed us all.
Oh dear. Save me.
How did it go? What did the police say?
They opened an investigation and are chasing the culprit.
Then Mr. Hwang will find out soon.
Shouldn't you report to him before the police show up?
Mr. Han, you talked to the police.
You tell the CEO.
Go on. Go and fill him in.
Okay.
What? A man died?
It was one of the demolition crew.
Why he...
What's your problem?
Get over here right now.
Ok Boon, we have to go somewhere.
Where, Mother?
Come and get ready.
- You stay at home. - Mom.
Jeong Woo, stay at home...
and watch her.
If you let her leave,
I'll kick you out as well, okay?
Okay.
Do you want to make him homeless too?
I mean what I say. Go back to your room.
Don't bring him into this.
You messed up and got someone killed?
Sir...
I can't trust you with anything.
I can clean this up.
If we put the killer away,
they'll stop investigating. Don't worry, sir.
I'll make sure not to cause you any trouble.
- Where's the killer? - On the run.
You moron.
Why did you let him get away?
I just...
What brings you ladies here?
Get out.
Yes, boss. I mean sir.
(Through the Waves)
I would like to call off the engagement.
Aren't you being out of line?
We must find Jeong Tae and get him locked up...
if it's to blow over.
Is Jeong Hoon the only man in the world?
I can't give up on him.
Please let us get married. Mother. Grandmother.
I said yes.
How dare you?
Oh Jeong Tae's wanted for murder.
Is that you, Jeong Tae?
I told you not to care about me.
Hear me out.
Choon Ja, you should go.
The curfew's nothing.
Let's get married.
Kyung Ho...
