I don't understand why Choon Ja likes Jeong Tae.
Jeong Tae is handsome and Choon Ja is cute.
You must be tired.
You have to go work tomorrow.
(Lucky Entertainment)
I'm so happy.
Because I get to...
walk you home.
What?
You're not alone anymore.
Though you're living away from home,
don't think that you're alone.
Whether through the good times or bad times,
I'll always protect you by your side.
Kyung Ho.
You can rely on me and depend on me.
Until you're a successful singer,
I'll do anything I can for you.
Kyung Ho.
Kyung Ho, why have you changed so much so suddenly?
I've noticed you changed since you came back from Busan.
But why have you changed so suddenly?
Because I love you.
I don't ever...
want to be apart from you again.
Kyung Ho.
I don't know what to say.
You don't have to say anything.
I'm just telling you how I feel.
You don't have to feel any pressure.
- How you feel? - Yes.
Yes, my love for you.
Just know that I love you.
That's all I want. I don't want anything from you.
Kyung Ho.
You must be tired.
You should go and take a rest.
Okay.
Thanks for walking me home.
And thanks for telling me your feelings.
I'll go in now. Go home safe.
(Episode 50)
Hey, Jeong Tae!
I like you so much.
Why do you ignore me?
Gosh, she's driving me crazy.
Get up.
- Let's go home. - I won't go home!
I won't!
Let's go. Let's go have another drink!
My gosh.
Hey. Come here.
- No! Let go! - Hey, come on.
I won't go home.
- Hey, Jeong Tae. - Hey.
Please be quiet.
Jeong Tae, you know...
I...
Gosh. Hey.
- Go in. - Jeong Tae.
Oh Jeong Tae. You can't do this to me.
Why do you ignore me?
How dare you look down on me?
Keep it down.
- Hey. - Jeong Tae.
Is she bleeding? What happened?
Don't even ask.
After you left, she put on a one-man show.
- Did you walk Bok Shil home? - Of course.
Kyung Ho.
Hey, it's late. Take her inside.
- No. I won't go. - Let's go, Choon Ja.
No.
Let go of me. I won't go.
Goodness, Choon Ja. What happened?
- Did you two have a drink? - Yes.
Why is her nose bleeding again?
She fell down on the way home.
Dad.
I'm so upset. I'm really upset.
Okay. Kyung Ho.
Choon Ja has a soft heart,
even though she may not look so.
Couldn't you accept her feelings if it's not too much trouble?
Pardon?
Okay, sure.
- Goodness. - We're home.
Why is everyone out here?
Kyung Ho, didn't you come straight home?
No, I stopped by somewhere. I'll go in first.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Hey! - Choon Ja.
Did you drink again?
Mr. Kim isn't...
interested in drinking at all.
She doesn't take after her dad.
I can't believe a grown up woman like you...
would act silly getting drunk with a nosebleed.
Do you think I like drinking? You don't know anything!
Hey. Goodness.
Ms. Yang.
Well, she...and Kyung Ho...
No.
Anyway, she doesn't drink like this every day. So don't get her wrong.
And you know, it's hard to find a modest girl...
like Choon Ja these days.
A modest girl?
Gosh, a stray dog would laugh at what you just said.
I wonder if she could even get married.
- I'm tired. - Let's go in.
- Good night. - Bye.
What a cruel thing to say.
I shouldn't get mad at her. It's for my daughter.
Dad.
Choon Ja, don't cry.
I know how you feel now. So just trust me.
You're the only child I have.
I would even get a star from the sky for you.
Let's go inside.
Dad, are you running for Construction Association Chief?
Can you not run for it?
Mi Jin.
Why don't you want me to do that?
If you become the chief,
you'll give all your work to Jeong Hoon.
Hey, Jeong Hoon is already busy with work anyway.
Honey, since you're in the election, just win the race.
I want to become the president of the Wives Club too.
Be careful what you say.
That president lady gets on my nerves.
She's so stuck up.
She looks down on me and ignores me.
I'll be the chief's wife and pay her back.
Come on. That's not why I'm trying to be the chief.
I'm just saying.
Make sure he wins the election, okay?
Did you review the report I made?
I'm home.
- Yes. - Hey.
You did a great job organizing the candidates'...
background information and election pledges.
It'll be very helpful.
What have you been discussing?
Your uncle is running for Construction Association Chief.
Is that right? Can I help you with anything?
You just focus on your work. That's helping.
Yes, sir.
Anyway, Sang Pil. Tell me.
Who is Hye Rin? You know who she is, don't you?
Stop it.
You should all go to your rooms.
I won't leave you alone if you do anything suspicious.
Do you understand?
Mom! Where is Jeong Hoon's herbal medicine?
Jeong Hoon, can we talk?
Sure.
When is the election?
Why do you ask?
I'd like to help my uncle.
Thanks for the thought, but I can take care of it.
- Jeong Hoon. - Good night.
Sang Pil, didn't you hear what my dad said?
Jeong Hoon is helping him. You focus on your work.
Here you go.
Jeong Hoon. You don't know much about Sang Pil, do you?
He's my mother's distant relative.
He lost both his parents in the war.
When he was 15 or 16, he came to live with us.
He was really smart,
so my dad put him through school.
Is that right? I didn't know.
Sang Pil obeys whatever my dad says.
Because he wants to be in my dad's favorite.
He's trying to be the son my father doesn't have.
I can see through him.
That's why I don't see him just as a relative.
Don't think about it that way.
He cares about you like you're his sister.
Sang Pil wouldn't look you in a favorable light.
He'll feel that you took his place.
Don't let your guard down, okay?
I'll take care of it.
- You can go to bed, I... - Are you going to work?
I asked you to be understanding.
I told you I was going to be busier.
I also asked you...
to not forget that you're my husband.
So let's go to sleep together.
It's late too.
I need to review something. You go to bed first.
It's good to see you two washing up together.
Ms. Yang.
Yes? What is it?
Here.
I made bean sprout hangover soup for Kyung Ho.
Bean sprout hangover soup?
That sounds delicious.
I can't believe you made hangover soup for your daughter.
You shouldn't raise your daughter like this.
There's nothing to worry about. She had a drink with Kyung Ho.
Kyung Ho, have this for breakfast.
Okay, thank you.
Good morning.
What brings you here?
Jeong Hoon and his wife brought this.
Goodness.
Look at this expensive food.
Thank you.
This is why I can't leave this house.
Enjoy.
- Okay. - Thanks.
Thank you.
I should grill this fish for Kyung Ho.
- Let's go inside and wait. - Okay.
Take this beansprout hangover soup first.
No, thank you.
You can enjoy that with Choon Ja.
Why did she have to bring this at this timing?
I cooked this soup for nothing then.
You should have some too.
They're okay. Finish eating and go to work.
By the way, why did you drink with Choon Ja?
Before you were hanging out with Bok Shil,
and now it's Choon Ja?
Jeong Tae was there too.
Did you find any girl you like in Busan?
Gyeongsang-do ladies are the best.
Like my sister-in-law right here.
Of course. She's the best lady there is.
Kyung Ho has to get married.
But how will he get married...
when he's living in a tiny room like this?
I shared the food Mi Jin brought with the neighbors.
Bok Shil likes grilled fish.
I wonder if she's eating well.
She left home. Stop mentioning her.
She's singing at Jeong Tae's cabaret.
Bok Shil is singing?
Let's not talk about that. Eat your breakfast.
Don't worry, Grandma.
I see her often. I'll take care of her.
Why don't we ask her to come back?
She ran away. Why would we bring her back?
You're cruel.
She was wrong to run away.
But you can't let your daughter live away from home.
Mom. Grandma.
Bok Shil will make her debut soon,
so don't just...
Let's eat. There's more soup if you want more.
I cover my mouth with my two hands
You look at me
- with sweet eyes - It's my time to practice. Get out.
With your lips
Get out. Terry Jang will be here soon.
You ripped my dress yesterday, right?
Wasn't framing me for stealing your wallet enough?
Are you bothered by me because I'm better?
That's not even funny. You're no competition.
Mr. Cha said he'd give me the new song.
You're nothing compared to me. Get out.
Se Ra. Where did you go after the performance?
You said you quit working at a restaurant.
I told you I had an appointment.
Do I need to report everything and get your permission?
- Of course. - What?
I run Lucky Entertainment.
I have to know about your personal life.
Restrain yourself from going out at night.
And take care of your stage wardrobe.
Consider yourself lucky yesterday.
But a singer should take care of her own wardrobe.
You aren't performing today, so practice singing.
I have to go out. Don't miss any phone calls.
Yes, sir.
Se Ra, was there a problem with your wardrobe?
I don't know. Why does he never compliment me?
He makes me so upset.
Hello. Is Director Oh in?
Hello.
He's not in right now.
Can we talk for a minute?
Go on.
What brings you here?
Is Jeong Hoon out with the chairman?
I am not sure.
You know the chairman is...
running for Construction Association Chief, don't you?
Yes.
What do you think? Does he have a chance?
He's a strong candidate.
Director Oh is putting a lot of effort into it too.
I hear the other candidates are quite strong too.
Do you mean Haemyung Construction?
- Haemyung Construction? - Yes.
It's an older and bigger company.
It's our biggest competition.
Why do you ask?
Aren't you very busy these days?
I hear that your trainees are performing on stage now.
How do you know that?
I guess your employee didn't tell you.
I went to say hello when I returned from Busan.
He told me then.
I see. Thanks for your time.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Collect information on the Haemyung Construction scandal.
Pardon? What do you mean?
There is a rumor that their chairman had...
an illegitimate child with a singer.
I don't know anything about that.
Rumor has been going around.
Go find out.
Yes, sir.
Goodness. It's as if you used a sewing machine.
You're great at sewing by hand.
Ms. Jung. Hang this up.
Okay.
Give me more garments.
I can finish up a few more before leaving work.
You can take it easy. Sit down for a minute.
Is there something you want to say?
Do you want to have dinner with me after work?
My husband is coming home late tonight.
I have to go straight home after work.
I know you said you can't work overtime.
Why is that? Do you have an appointment?
Do you have a date?
You're so secretive.
You never give me a straight answer.
I like how you hold your tongue,
but try changing your personality a little.
I'll go back to work.
Auntie, I'm home.
Min Su just fell asleep.
I came home running because I missed him all day.
Hey, you must be really tired.
Go have dinner and take a rest.
You should sleep a little when the kid is asleep.
I'll take care of myself.
Do you really have to work at the cabaret?
I'll earn money. I want you to stay home and look after Min Su.
It's not like you make a lot of money.
Staying home and babysitting all day is tiring.
I have to go out and get some fresh air.
I want to stay home with Min Su all day.
Anyway, the floor manager at the cabaret...
Never mind. You don't need to know.
Take some rest.
What happened to you?
I thought you were on a run. Why are you here?
- Is everything okay? - Yes.
- Good for you. - How is...
your niece?
She's well.
Did you think Jeong Hoon's betrayal would ruin her life?
Of course not.
I'm relieved that she's doing well.
Soon Young married someone much better than Jeong Hoon.
She's very happy.
I see.
You can go in and get ready for work.
What about Jeong Hoon?
Is he happy being married to a rich woman?
That jerk.
I'm going to see if he lives well off...
after leaving Soon Young.
They say a scorned woman can do anything.
Stand up straight.
Me too?
You stay out of this.
Are you disciplining them? Okay.
Do you know what day it is today?
- It's payday. - It's payday.
You're sloppy workers, but you never forget your payday.
Here.
You can give it to me.
What? Does she still take your salary?
What do you mean by still?
Their salary is mine forever.
Do your money's worth, understand?
Don't worry about a thing.
Gosh, without the new singers, this room looks so dull.
There's nothing that pleases my eyes.
I'm right here. I can be your eye candy.
If you don't want to be fired, get all the old customers back.
I will.
It doesn't matter how hard I work,
I can't even receive my pay.
There's no point in living.
Likewise.
Why are you taking Johnny's salary?
These two guys lost all the money...
my son earned from the Vietnam war.
So they have to make it up with their salary.
Does that mean she's taking...
all your pay?
My life has become so pathetic, Madam Gu.
Your wife is taking your salary. Your life isn't pathetic.
I'm more pathetic.
I didn't get to touch any money for a year!
Then are you completely broke too?
Madam Gu.
Is there someone else who is completely broke?
There's nobody.
(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
I swallow tears and sorrow
All on my own
I wander the back-alleys
In the night
I've risked my life on love
Don't point fingers at me
Saying I'm a wanderer
One day you'll understand my heart
A heart of a man who looks up to you like a sun
- Hi, Mr. Kim. - Hi.
- Hello. Ms. Lee. - Hi.
I'd like to take out...
some tteokbokki and fritters.
Will you have these for dinner?
It's for Choon Ja.
She seems to have lost her appetite.
She's not eating.
Gosh, I hope she feels like eating again.
So I can grill her the fish you gave me this morning.
I see.
Jeong Hoon and his wife haven't visited you in a while.
Jeong Hoon visits often,
but not your daughter-in-law, am I right?
She should come and see you more often...
so you guys can become closer as a family.
You must feel upset.
As long as she's good to Jeong Hoon,
I'm happy. That's all I want.
You're right. That's the best. Here.
- Have a good day. - Thank you.
- Bye. - See you.
That was delicious.
Did you enjoy your meal?
Yes. Your noodles taste better...
than a top chef's.
Thank you.
Goodness. I forgot my wallet.
I'm sorry, but can I pay you...
tomorrow?
Pardon?
I guess I left my wallet...
in my car with my chauffeur.
I'll have to send my chauffeur tomorrow to pay the bill.
But for today,
put it on the tab.
Well, if you don't have any money, that's what you'll have to do.
It's not that I don't have any money.
I left my wallet in my car.
I'll send my chauffeur tomorrow to pay the bill.
Sure. You can do that.
I can't believe I left my wallet.
Bye then.
What a handsome boy.
Mom, is it okay to give credit to someone we've never seen?
He said he didn't bring his wallet.
He does look rich though.
Jin Kyu. Did you look into it?
Yes, I'm looking into it now.
- Are you done with your practice? - Yes.
When will you release my debut album?
You already gave a song to Hye Rin.
When will you give me a song?
I'll decide when.
Meanwhile, practice hard.
I wanted to sing the song Hye Rin got.
You should listen to us sing it first,
then decide who should take it.
Why do you care about Hye Rin more?
I said I'll make the decision.
Why do you still talk back so much?
Can't I talk? Why is he getting mad at me?
This is Daeguk Construction's office of planning.
Okay. Mr. Han. This is for you.
Yes? This is...
Bok Shil.
Why did you want to see me?
Is this a bad time?
No, it's okay.
Didn't you perform today?
No.
What's wrong?
Why do you look upset?
- I'm upset because of Mr. Cha. - Why?
He gave a debut song to another trainee,
but he doesn't do anything for me. He just tells me to practice.
He gave her special treatment from the beginning.
Why does he treat us differently?
I'm sure he has his reasons.
I worked really hard for the past year.
I wasn't the Oh Bok Shil who gave things up easily.
I left home to become a singer. I had to make it fast.
I practiced hard,
cleaned the office, ran errands,
and even worked at a restaurant.
You worked at a restaurant?
I had to earn money to pay the bills.
You went through a lot.
I felt like going home when things were tough.
But I couldn't.
My mom didn't want me to be a singer,
but I still left home to become one.
So I was really lonely.
I cried a lot too.
- I'm sorry. - Why?
For making you lonely and making you cry.
I'm sorry, Bok Shil.
You're here now.
I'm so happy because you're here.
What you said last night...
You said you didn't want anything from me.
You said you just wanted me to know that you loved me.
I thought about it.
I'm going to accept your love for me.
Bok Shil.
You're rooting for me and supporting my dream.
You're by my side, and I'm really happy.
Yes, I'll always be by your side.
But right now, I can't think about anything else.
I have to focus only on singing.
That's what Mr. Cha said.
He said I can't date because that'll distract me.
So I can't tell...
I told you you don't have to feel pressured.
I'll just support you by your side.
Thank you, Kyung Ho.
And about our relationship,
I'm sorry I have to keep it a secret.
(Lucky Entertainment)
You can go now.
All right. Don't forget to lock the door.
Okay. I feel safe at night because you fixed the door.
Thank you.
- Go in. - Okay. Bye, Kyung Ho.
Bye.
Where have you been?
You didn't go home yet?
Were you with a man?
No, I was with my brother.
You know you have to focus only on singing.
If you date before making a debut,
I can't work with you until the end.
Hey.
- Did you just get off work? - Yes.
- I just met with Bok Shil. - Did you?
You have to be nice to Bok Shil.
I'm watching you.
Why are you giving Choon Ja the cold shoulder?
You know Choon Ja likes you.
Can't you like her back?
You know I don't deserve her.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Hey, don't talk like you don't know anything.
Choon Ja likes you regardless.
She just likes you genuinely.
Hey, Choon Ja is...
like a sister to me.
You know that.
- Choon Ja. - Hi.
Can you go inside first?
Okay.
Jeong Tae, let's have a talk.
I have nothing to say.
I'm sorry to have bothered you.
I won't like you anymore.
I won't follow you around.
I won't be a bother to you anymore.
I waited for you to tell you that.
My love for you flows towards you
Good job.
Thank you.
Did you finish the song for Hye Rin?
Almost.
I really like that song.
I'm upset because Mr. Cha told you to give that song to Hye Rin.
You don't have to be upset.
He asked me to put a special care into...
making your album.
Did he?
Mr. Cha has big hopes for you.
Instead of releasing an album quickly,
he wants to take time and make it right.
I didn't know that was his plan.
You've worked with him for over a year. You should've known.
He's not a person that opens up easily though.
(CEO Cha Sang Pil)
(Lucky Entertainment)
Don't you know how to knock?
Why do you act angry all the time?
Why do you always...
act so cold when you aren't that kind of a person?
Thank you.
Here is the information you asked me to find.
("Haemyung Construction Scandal")
(The Jeongjung Daily)
There is a rumor going around...
that the current chief is rooting for Haemyung Construction.
Haemyung Construction?
Yes.
If the current chief joins forces with the president of Haemyung,
I'll have a hard time winning.
I need something crucial to push Haemyung off the race.
So find...
any weakness President Park has.
In order to win the election,
I need something that can knock President Park down.
Father. Then that could turn this election into a mud fight.
Even if you do become the chief, there could be a discord.
It'll be difficult to lead the association then.
Wouldn't it be better...
to come up with pledges that will further advance...
the construction industry...
rather than focusing on the opponent's weakness?
Come on.
You can't do great things with that kind of naive thinking.
In order to get what you want,
you have to try every possible means.
How can you lead Daeguk Construction with that kind of mindset?
Why are you here?
I hear Haemyung is...
a strong candidate in this election.
I told you to stay out of it.
This is information on President Park.
What?
With this information,
you'll have a great chance of winning.
(Through the Waves)
Sang Pil, you know how to win a fight.
Mr. Cha, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?
Be careful with Jeong Hoon.
Men can't be trusted.
- Why are you smiling? - Because she's cute.
I know my uncle better than you.
Stop working!
I don't need your advice.
She ran away from home.
I don't want to know.
I'm so happy to see you even if it's just for a moment.
I get furious sometimes...
because Min Su reminds me of that jerk.
- Se Ra. - Mr. Cha.
