(Daeguk Construction)
(Episode 46)
(Hoseo Plant Bidding Plan)
(Hoseo Hydro-power Plant Business Plan)
The construction of Hoseo Dam...
is a project that our company must win.
The per capita rainfall in our country is very small...
and we lack infrastructure to guard against floods.
Not only that, we lack hydro-power...
and thermoelectric power plants to supply water and electricity.
Building dams will and must become a government initiative.
If we win the rights to build Hoseo Dam,
in subsequent dam construction projects,
Daeguk Construction...
will have earned the right to be called dam experts.
That will provide us a step with which to reach higher.
In order to do so, I'd like each department...
and office to do their best to win this contract.
Next, I'll explain how each department...
should prepare for the bidding.
(Pumped-Storage Plants)
You were very well-prepared.
If we just go ahead,
we should win the bid no problem.
We can't let our guard down,
but I will win the contract.
Good. I'll provide anything you need.
- Tell me if you need something. - Sure.
Is everything going well with the expressway?
Yes. I checked the site yesterday and it's going as planned.
Every construction project is important,
but pay extra attention to the expressways.
Our company's in charge of building the most important section.
The government and industry are watching us closely.
Don't forget that.
I won't.
Jeong Hoon.
Since you joined,
you accomplished so much in a year.
You have no idea how much people envy me for having you.
- Keep up the good work. - Okay.
Hello.
Mr. Chae, I gave you the minutes of the association meeting.
- Yes. - Please...
distribute a summary to all the staff.
It doesn't mention much about making the dam a tourist attraction.
Add some more to that.
- Yes, sir. - Thanks.
How am I supposed to do all that today?
Why is he pushing so hard?
He's very driven.
And allows no mistakes.
Right.
We could learn a lot from Mr. Oh.
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
(Jini Boutique)
(Seamstress wanted)
Did you post it outside?
Yes, ma'am.
- Take this. - Okay.
Why did she quit at such an important time?
Mi Jin, did the seamstress really quit?
Are you hiring again?
Yes. Why are they so irresponsible?
She knows it's our first ever fashion show.
How can she quit?
Why did you get yourself in this mess?
No one told you to open a store.
It's my dream, Mom.
I didn't study abroad, but I want to work for myself.
The best life for a woman is to stay and run the home...
with the money her husband brings.
Look at me.
I don't want to stay at home.
Dad supports me. Why don't you?
Okay, fine.
I know you're busy, but let's go to an oriental medical clinic.
To make Jeong Hoon a tonic.
Why would you do that for someone you don't like?
He's still my daughter's husband,
so I'll keep him healthy to mistreat him.
I'm busy, go on your own.
Why do you like clothes?
Mom!
- Thanks. - Thank you, bye.
- Ok Boon. - Yes?
- We need more kimchi. - Just a moment.
Do you like the food?
The vegetables are crunchy and fresh...
and go well with the noodles.
Do they really?
Here you go.
- Tell me if you need more. - Okay.
You don't have to bring all your staff here.
I didn't force them.
We're here because they wanted to eat here.
Jeong Hoon opened you a lovely store.
Isn't this much better than selling in an open market stall?
You're safe from the snow and rain now.
I am.
Do you miss Bok Shil a lot?
She left home,
but you still named the diner after her.
I'm back.
- Hello, Mr. Kim. - Hello, Jeong Woo.
- You made a delivery? - Yes.
- Mom. - What?
Here.
You're here too, Mr. Kim.
Hello. Did you get groceries?
Kyung Ho's not even home but we're out of kimchi,
so I bought the ingredients.
Oh, is something going on at home?
I saw grown men go in.
Into our house?
Mother. What's going on?
- We got a telephone. - A telephone?
Yes. Jeong Hoon sent them.
It's working.
Try making a call.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Why did he buy us this?
I guess he felt frustrated that he couldn't reach us.
We don't have much use for it.
Ok Book, shall we give Jeong Hoon a call?
What for? He'll be busy.
We shouldn't call unless we have a reason.
The calls must be expensive.
If Bok Shil knew we had a phone, would she call...
to let us hear her voice?
Why do you wait for news from someone who left home?
The evil brat.
How could she cut all contact with us?
I'm off, then.
Out of my way.
Watch out.
Stay away.
I'm coming through.
Let's do that.
- Okay. - Good.
(Practice Room)
Hello, sir.
Mr. Cha.
It's good to earn living expenses,
but you can't be late for practice.
I was only five minutes late.
Is five minutes nothing to you?
It's just that...
I'm sorry.
Sorry, sir.
You asked to take lunch and dinnertime off and I said yes.
You should come and wait for your turn to practice.
Isn't that the right attitude to have?
Yes, sir. I won't be late again.
This was the first time she was late.
I'm sorry.
I'll start now.
Okay.
Your eyes glimmer and shimmer
As you look at me warmly
My heart flutters and shakes
As if it is a wildflower
Even when I look at you I miss you
That very person is you
I'm starving.
Bok Shil.
Why are you here?
You deliver food. Ask them for some.
What's this?
I have no time to eat there.
I can barely make it back in time.
Did you tell my family I deliver soup for a living?
I didn't, don't worry.
You left home to sing and you aren't a singer yet.
You deliver food to cover expenses. I bet you're ashamed.
It's not because I'm ashamed.
I don't want Mom to get upset.
Why be ashamed when I'm working...
towards my dream?
Good for you, Bok Shil.
When will you become a singer?
It's been a year already.
I'm frustrated too.
But now I know that it's not easy to debut.
That's why I'm working and practicing really hard.
Why don't you ask Jeong Hoon to release your album?
No way!
Why would I ask him for a favor?
You're siblings. It's not a favor.
I said no.
I'll succeed on my own and come home proudly.
Do as you wish.
How about my family?
Does Jeong Hoon visit them often?
If you want to know, ask them yourself.
How can you not come home...
for a whole year when you live in Seoul?
Forget about that.
Why won't you even visit Jeong Tae?
He won't see me.
Would he want to show me how he's doing?
I know how he feels, so I stopped going.
He won't see me either.
But I'll keep trying.
Mom.
Jeong Hoon.
My goodness, Jeong Hoon.
You must be busy. Why are you here again?
I had work in the area.
The phone you got us looks great. Check it out.
Is it?
Mom, I'm hungry.
Okay. Wait inside.
Grandma.
You could've called me after the phone was installed.
Yes, Grandma, to celebrate the occasion.
Why bother when you're busy?
I always have time to take a call.
I'm paying the bill as well.
Use it as often as you want.
Is there anything you want to do?
Tell me, I'll help you.
There is something, but later.
Right now, I like helping Mom.
Okay. Whatever it is, tell me when you're ready.
Jeong Hoon.
Okay. I'll get it.
Poor you. Eat up.
Okay.
The bean paste soup is great.
Is your wife busy?
She's busy working on her first fashion show.
Sorry she hasn't visited.
We have a phone now.
Tell her to call Grandma often.
I will.
These are your favorite vegetables. Have some.
Okay.
I'm home.
Why are you so late? Did you eat dinner?
- I ate. - Again?
Do you have someone who cooks for you?
You eat out half the time.
Stop it.
A busy man sometimes has to eat out.
He meets so many people.
Yes, Mi Jin. You run a business now too.
You should understand.
I'll warm up your tonic. Drink that.
A tonic?
You complain all the time but you must love Jeong Hoon.
- Thank you. - Don't thank me.
You should try harder.
Work is good, but when will you make me a grandma?
Is that what the tonic's for?
Yes, you brat.
You're married. You should have children.
That's right.
Isn't it time you had a child?
Dad.
Excuse me, then.
I'll go with him. Goodnight.
- Night. - Sleep well.
- Okay. - Sure.
I'll drink it this time,
but tell your mom not to bother again.
Didn't you hear what my parents said?
We've been married for a year.
Don't you want to become a father?
It looks like you do.
It's not that.
We can take our time. You just opened a store.
It'll be hard to raise a baby too.
I still want to have one.
We're meeting my friends and their spouses tomorrow, okay?
Yes, I remember.
You must show up. Don't blame work again.
Okay. Go to sleep first. I have work to do.
Can't we sleep together?
Do you have to work at home too?
I have to finish it today.
(Lucky Entertainment)
My love flows towards you
Let's call it a day.
Thank you, Mr. Jang. Bye.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Well? Did she improve over the year?
She improved greatly. Hye Rin too.
They must debut within the year.
Not just debut but become great singers.
I want them to become the stars of...
the next generation,
like Han Soo Ran and Hong Jae Bok were.
Teach them as best you can.
I will.
Oh, how about the new song?
Did you find something you like?
Neither girls have performed on stage before.
The song isn't the problem.
We must write hundreds of songs to make one hit.
Will you just deal with problems when they come?
No, sir.
I'll make Lucky the greatest agency in Korea this year.
That's why I hired you...
as our exclusive composer and singing coach.
Please work harder.
Yes, sir.
Your eyes glimmer and shimmer
Will you shut your mouth? This is noise pollution.
- My heart flutters and - Hey.
Go and deliver food.
Leave me alone. You can't boss me around.
Stop fighting.
It's been a year and you're still the same.
Cancel your dinner plans.
Se Ra, say you can't work tonight.
Why? Is something wrong?
- We're going somewhere. - Where?
Wait a bit until I get off work.
He's so bossy.
Jin Kyu, do you know where we're going?
What's going on?
I don't know.
(Jini Boutique)
(Seamstress wanted)
Excuse me.
Is anyone in?
You need a seamstress?
I saw the notice outside.
The owner's not in. Come back tomorrow.
I'll wait.
I'll wait until the owner comes.
Who knows when she'll come back?
Did you interview anyone else?
You haven't decided on anyone, have you?
I said come back tomorrow. I'm busy, you know.
I will come back tomorrow. Please give me the job.
Please, miss.
Where did you go?
To find a job.
- Did you find one? - Not yet.
I told you to unpack. Why didn't you?
These are yours. Take them with you.
What's there to unpack?
What a mess this place is.
How are we to live here?
Who are you blaming?
You lost everything...
including the store because you got conned.
We barely rented this house.
Do you think I don't know that?
Then stop complaining...
and think of what to do.
Whining won't get us food or water.
How dare you?
Are you my mom? Don't you nag.
Come in.
Mr. Oh.
A small fire broke out at...
the expressway construction site.
What? Was anyone hurt?
I don't think anyone was hurt.
Some materials were burned...
You don't think? You should've checked.
Yes, sir. I'll go and check.
No. I'll go.
Why would you bother with a small accident?
Isn't it obvious why? Big or small, there was an accident.
- Leave. - Yes, sir.
I understand.
Workaholic superiors are such a pain.
What about the gathering?
Hello, it's Director Oh.
Put my wife on.
She left?
Tell her that something came up...
at work and I can't make it to the gathering.
Thanks.
He's missing another gathering?
Why are you back alone?
Aren't you meeting your friends?
Jeong Hoon didn't show up. He blew me off.
What?
He wasn't there?
Would I lie?
Jeong Hoon, where were you?
Why didn't you show up?
Mi Jin.
Don't raise your voice before...
you hear what happened.
Didn't you get my message? I called your boutique.
- When? - I talked to Ms. Jung.
I said something urgent came up and that I can't make it.
What was so urgent that you had to miss a couples' gathering?
There was a fire at the expressway construction site.
What? A fire broke out?
What happened?
It wasn't serious and I sorted things out.
Did you have to go because of a small accident?
If you don't want to go to gatherings with me, say so.
Stop it. A working man often faces...
unexpected situations like this.
A wife shouldn't complain each time.
Why do you always take his side?
If you made a promise, you should keep it.
Why do you keep upsetting her?
Will you stop it?
Go upstairs.
Talk to Mi Jin.
Mi Jin.
I'm sorry. I thought you got the message.
I didn't miss it on purpose.
Why did you marry me?
Let's blame tonight on Ms. Jung.
But this wasn't the first time it happened.
Did you marry me because you liked me...
or because you liked work?
What kind of question is that?
You make me think feel that way.
You work so hard for Dad,
and he always defends you.
What am I to you?
You should be my husband before my dad's son-in-law.
Why don't I think that's what you are?
Everyone else sat in twos.
I was the only one there alone.
My friends' husbands...
all work just as hard as you do.
Okay.
Jeong Hoon. Perhaps you don't love me.
Tell me the truth.
I'm sorry, Mi Jin. I'm sorry.
Don't be so angry.
Please don't exhaust me.
I won't.
Did you eat dinner?
At the site with the workers.
I'll spare some time soon.
Let's go on a lovely date.
Okay. I'll look forward to it.
(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
The night mist descends everywhere
The night streets feel so lonely
Quietly, all through the night
Why are we here?
You will perform on stage starting tomorrow.
Really?
I get to sing on that stage?
Yes.
Why here?
It's not your official debut.
It's so you gather experience.
Every performance is special to a singer.
Don't take it lightly.
I won't, sir.
I brought you here to get a feel of the place.
Look around and listen to the songs.
Okay, sir.
Hello, Mr. Cha.
Hello.
They're the new singers who'll go on stage starting tomorrow.
Say hello.
Jo Dong Cheol's the CEO of Golden Chariot Cabaret.
Hello. I hope I don't let you down.
You're both so pretty.
No one knows who you are yet,
so go on right after we open or before we close,
when there aren't many customers. Okay?
Yes, sir. I'll do my best.
Dear streetlights
Endlessly, all through the night
This is a steak?
It's not at all like pork cutlet.
You had pork cutlet before?
You bet. I used to...
Someone treated me.
Who? Your boyfriend?
I don't have a boyfriend.
Why are we here?
Did you not eat dinner?
We're here to celebrate your first performance tomorrow.
Why didn't you bring Hye Rin?
She'd just say no because she has lectures.
So I brought just you.
Do you know this is the first time since you bought me soup?
Is it?
I wasn't that generous.
I should treat you more often.
So, will I perform every night?
How many songs a night?
Do I get to pick?
Will I have to dance a bit?
How can I answer if you bombard me with questions?
I'll tell you tomorrow.
Enjoy your meal and go and get some rest.
Okay.
(Detention Center)
Jeong Tae.
I waited all morning to welcome you back.
Eat this.
Why did you wait?
How did you know of my release?
You refused to see me,
but I visited every day.
I knew you'd be paroled.
Eat the tofu.
You have to when you get out.
- Leave it. - Oh Jeong Tae.
(Seoul Detention Center)
- Well done. - Why are you here?
I had to come and welcome you back.
- Go on. - Okay.
Eat this and don't ever go to prison again.
Leave it. You go home.
Jeong Tae, you're going to go with them?
You should go home.
That's none of your business, so go.
Who's this young lady? Your girlfriend?
- Get going. - Okay.
Come with me.
Jeong Tae.
I'm all about loyalty.
I sent you pocket money and snacks.
You must know that.
I never abandon someone who is loyal to me.
How could I ignore you when you...
ended up doing time while working for me?
You have a job at the cabaret...
and I'll keep the promise and make you CEO.
Come back after taking a few days off.
Why that...
Mr. Jo, did you promise to make him...
CEO of the cabaret?
You don't need to know.
Now that he has a record,
he won't be able to work anywhere else.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Let's go.
Don't be too nervous.
Just do what you practiced.
We trained tirelessly for a year...
to sing at a cabaret?
Mr. Cha said...
nothing is worth more than experience.
Hello.
Mr. Han, you haven't dropped by in a long time.
Are you alone?
Our new singers go on stage today.
Mr. Cha left with them a while ago.
They're performing? Where?
Come on in.
This is the waiting room.
This is where you'll change and do your makeup...
before you go on stage.
Okay.
These two are rookies who'll start singing from tonight.
Get them into something nice.
Yes... Sure, sir.
Why aren't you two on stage?
We were just about to go. Choon Sam.
- Okay, let's go. - Break a leg.
We'll let them get ready, Mr. Cha.
Sure. Put them in something nice.
Sure, I'll do that.
I'll sort out my own outfit and makeup.
Don't you mind me.
Okay.
Bok Shil, you're going to sing at our cabaret?
Yes.
Oh, dear. Your mom's...
so upset that her only daughter left home...
to become a singer.
I'm not sure if this is good or bad.
You should try some dresses on.
If you're going to sing, you might as well look the best.
Come with me.
Thank you.
(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
She's starting.
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 tainted my love
I couldn't get over The sadness I was left with
So here I stand and cry
Dear love of my life
If only I could see you once more
I will sing to the stars
When I become a celestial singer
(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
Your eyes glimmer and shimmer
As you look at me warmly
My heart flutters and shakes
As if it is a wildflower
Even when I look at you I miss you
That very person is you
Just like rain fog My feelings for you
Hide behind your back
Just like waves
That crash endlessly
My love for you
Flows towards you
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho, why are you here?
It was your first performance.
How did you find out?
You looked great.
Congratulations.
Here.
Kyung Ho.
Take it.
(Through the Waves)
You said you had no boyfriend. Did you lie?
- I'm sorry. - For what?
For not supporting you.
You're just getting started.
Don't get involved with men.
Don't waste time on me.
I'm here for an interview. Are you the owner?
Can I trust you'll honor the promise and make me CEO?
Are you married?
If you like Bok Shil, show it properly.
Don't be so lukewarm.
So this is where you stayed for a year.
- Se Ra. - It's Mr. Cha.
What now?
