I've never had cotton candy before.
- Really? - Yes.
Se Ra.
Mr. Cha.
Mr. Han.
Why are you two together?
Do you know each other?
Se Ra. Why can't you answer me?
Mr. Cha.
Let's have a talk.
Okay.
Kyung Ho. What do we do?
I'll go talk to him.
Don't worry, and go on inside.
Okay.
(Episode 52)
How do you know each other?
We grew up in the same neighborhood.
She's my best friend's younger sister,
so Bok Shil is like a sister to me.
But you don't seem like just friends.
Why did you pretend not to know each other?
It's because I didn't want to make things uncomfortable.
That's why.
Are you the one who fixed the storage doorknob?
Yes.
After returning from Busan,
I heard that Bok Shil left home and lived here alone.
I came to check up on her...
and found it broken, so I fixed it for her.
I'm sorry I didn't get to tell you sooner.
At first, I missed a chance to tell you,
and I let it come this far.
I hope you don't get us wrong.
Se Ra is just starting out as a singer.
Being gossiped about won't do her any good.
That's why I'm acting overly sensitive about it.
I'm sure you know what I'm worried about.
I got it.
I'll be leaving now.
(Planning Office)
(Storage)
Have... Have you been well?
Why are you here, Jeong Tae?
I started working here not too long ago.
I guess your aunt didn't tell you.
You met my aunt?
Yes.
Did everything go okay last time?
Thank you for helping me.
Not anyone can hide...
someone on the run.
I'm sorry I made you worried.
I'm glad it went all right.
I heard from your aunt...
that you got married.
Yes. I got married.
Soon Young.
Aunt Ae Shim.
I shouldn't have called you.
I was going to wait for you here, so you two wouldn't meet.
But you bumped into each other.
Here. Take it.
- I'll be going now. - Bye.
You didn't say anything to Soon Young, did you?
- I mean, about your brother. - No.
Even if you see her again, don't tell her anything.
Did you have fun with the neighbor lady?
I'm sorry I came home late.
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
Yes.
Mr. Oh, aren't you going home?
No. You go home first. I have a lot of work to do.
Well...
How can I go home early when you're working...
so hard day and night?
I can do this alone. You should go home.
No, Mr. Oh.
The others already went home,
but I'll be with you here until you're done with work.
Call me if you need anything.
Okay. Suit yourself then.
Did you go see Jeong Hoon after work?
Yes. I was going to have dinner with him,
but he was too busy to even look at me.
Why would you go to his workplace and bother him?
I went there to make up with him. I wanted us to be on good terms.
Make up with him? Did you two have a fight?
They were arguing last night.
So did you come back without making up?
He didn't even give me a chance.
That made me more upset.
Dad, sometimes I wonder if he married me...
or if he married work.
He's your son-in-law, but he doesn't feel like my husband.
I didn't even get to enjoy honeymoon.
He has no Sundays, and he always comes home late.
He works even when he's home.
What is this?
So why did you marry him?
Stop it.
Mi Jin. Let's have a talk.
Mi Jin. Why do you complain so much?
Dad.
Jeong Hoon is now your husband like you wanted.
He never fools around.
It looks like he's trying hard to be good to you.
Dad, that's...
It's not like he's working for someone else.
He's working day and night for our family.
Didn't you know that he'd be...
swamped with work after getting married?
Why do you think I let him marry you?
There's a line. He's doing too much work.
Stop it.
Mi Jin.
Don't you know why I opened a boutique for you?
I want you to have fun doing your work...
and not focus only on Jeong Hoon.
But why do you act like a housewife...
who is so hung up on her husband?
I don't know.
I'm disappointed in you too.
What do you mean?
You're always on Jeong Hoon's side.
That upsets me now that we're married.
Why that...
She's so immature.
I'm home.
Mi Jin. Are you asleep?
Will you get up?
I'm sorry that I did that when you came all the way to the office.
I was busy with something that needed to be done by today.
All you talk about is work. When will you stop giving excuses?
Next time, give me a call before you come.
- So I can tell you... - No.
I went there to make up with you.
But you didn't even give me a chance.
Turn the light off. Get out if you're going to work.
Aunt Ae Shim, don't go to Golden Chariot Cabaret.
What?
Why didn't you tell me you work with Jeong Tae?
Don't worry.
I told him you got married and that you're happy.
I'll work and earn money.
Please stay home and take care of Min Su.
I don't want strangers to babysit him.
Do you think I want to work there?
We're always short on money. You can't tell me not to work.
Aunt Ae Shim.
If you tell Jeong Tae about Min Su...
I know.
I mean it.
You put me through so much already.
If you make trouble again,
I won't see you anymore.
Goodness, listen to the way you talk.
Anyway, don't worry about the floor manager.
Those brothers are so different.
The floor manager is a really good man.
I'm so upset.
Why did that fine girl end up like this?
Why did you wait for me? Is there something you want to say?
By the way, didn't you see Bok Shil?
She didn't even perform today.
What is it? Did something happen?
I've known what it's like at Lucky Entertainment for a long time.
So I kept Bok Shil and my relationship a secret.
But Mr. Cha found out.
Why did you keep it a secret?
I'm curious about that.
Her boss told her to be careful about meeting men.
He must be worried...
that rumors might ruin her debut.
Bok Shil is in trouble.
I told him I was her neighborhood friend.
She won't be in trouble.
Anyway, Jeong Tae,
you haven't been to where she's staying, have you?
Where...
and how does she live?
She lives in a storage of that company.
It really hurts me to see her live in a place like that.
For a year, she cleaned the office,
ran errands, and practiced singing.
- She even delivered food. - She did?
Did she really work at a restaurant too?
She said she needed to make a living.
She left home to become a singer by choice,
but she had a hard time, and she was lonely.
She also misses her family a lot.
Jeong Tae.
I know your mother still doesn't approve of her.
But now you and I support her.
We should persuade your mom...
to approve Bok Shil to become a singer.
Don't you think Bok Shil should return home?
Okay. I see what you mean.
Gosh, you...
You surely know a way to make me feel embarrassed.
I'm her brother, but you take better care of her than I do.
It's because I like her. You know that.
I know.
I hope you never have a change of heart.
Choon Ja.
Can you do me a favor?
What is it? Tell me.
Last night, I went to see Bok Shil and her boss...
Goodness, you two look so good together.
You guys are such a pretty couple.
Kyung Ho, stay right there.
- Have you been seeing Bok Shil? - Yes.
Kyung Ho.
This is for you.
There you go.
You can have it.
Open wide. Come on.
- Mr. Kim. - Please.
No.
What are you doing? It's embarrassing.
One more time.
- Gosh. - I...
Why are you being so nice to Kyung Ho?
I made some of that with what Bok Shil's mom gave me too.
So you don't have to do that anymore.
It's because Kyung Ho is like a son to me.
I just want you to know that.
Please think of Choon Ja as your daughter.
Also, if you're out of soybean paste,
you can come and use mine anytime.
And if you're out of briquettes, you can use them too.
- Wait. - Give me some.
- No. - What are you doing? Put that down.
- Goodness. - Why you...
How did you find it?
Mr. Cha. Hello.
What's your relationship with Mr. Han?
Kyung Ho must've told you everything.
Do Mr. Han and Se Ra know each other?
He said he even fixed the doorknob for you.
Are you two that close that he visits where you're staying?
It's not like that.
Why would Mr. Han do that when you have a brother?
Bok Shil, is your boss scolding you?
Mr. Cha, why are you scolding my friend?
Choon Ja, why are you here again?
I'm here to see my friend.
Can't I visit my friend here?
Choon Ja.
Bok Shil, I'll go see a movie with Kyung Ho later.
With Kyung Ho?
That's right.
Don't think about tagging along.
Kyung Ho and I will go on a date.
Please don't come and bother us like the third wheel.
Okay.
Do you know Mr. Han too?
Of course, I do. We're dating.
Bok Shil, me, Kyung Ho, and her brother...
are all friends. Friends from childhood.
Why do you ask?
Jin Kyu, come into my office. I have work for you.
Yes, sir.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Choon Ja, you're a great liar.
No way, you're a better liar.
You said you were working at a factory, but you weren't.
How did you come up with that story?
Kyung Ho asked me to do that.
- Kyung Ho did? - I heard your boss found out.
Kyung Ho asked me to talk to your boss...
for you so that he can be reassured.
I see.
By the way, why is your boss opposed of you seeing Kyung Ho?
- Does your boss like you? - What?
That's absurd. You're making me speechless.
Never mind then.
When did you start seeing Kyung Ho again?
Tell me what's going on between you two. Be honest.
Kyung Ho saw me sing, and he said I was great.
He said he'd support me becoming a singer.
- Really? - Yes.
Kyung Ho gave me those flowers too.
Did he say that he loves you?
Wait. Did he ask you to marry him?
No, it's not like that.
Well, then there's nothing going on between you two.
By the way, why are you so dressed up? Are you going somewhere?
I am. I have a place to go also.
- Hey, do you want to come with me? - No, I'm busy.
Never mind. I can go by myself.
I finished my work here. So bye for now.
Where's she going? Why is she all dressed up?
Excuse me.
Is anyone in?
You're looking for a model for a cover, right?
I saw an ad from a magazine.
Gosh, what a beauty. You're beautiful.
Aren't I?
People said I was pretty since I was a baby.
Great. I need to prepare your wardrobe, so come back tomorrow.
Let's start shooting right away.
Yes! You have a good eye.
Thank you. See you tomorrow.
Wasn't it nice to see Bok Shil?
Yes, she sang really well. She was great.
It must be nice because you get to see her every day.
You brat.
- Jeong Woo. - Choon Ja.
Gosh, you look pretty.
Do I? I clean up really nicely...
when I don't wear a tracksuit.
- See you later. - Okay.
That's strange. Did you two have a fight?
Why doesn't she say hi to you?
Let's go. We have to hurry if we're going to get cabbage.
I can do it alone.
I told you. I'm free in the afternoon.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Is it good?
- It's good, right? - Yes.
- How much is it? - Mom, I'll get this.
Thanks, sweet heart. Mommy is happy just eating with you.
- There you go. - You two look so happy.
Don't you have a daughter?
Sons are nice.
But daughters are the best for moms.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- Please come again. - Okay.
Bok Shil used to be really sweet too.
It would've been nice if Mi Jin was sweet like her.
But she isn't like that.
She doesn't really get along with our family.
You did a good job getting fresh cabbages.
Jeong Hoon's ex-girlfriend would've helped you...
and would've been sweet like a daughter.
Stop talking nonsense.
Go to work already.
Ms. Uhm. Please come here.
What do you think? Will it suit the design?
Rather than this fabric,
a plain weave muslin would be better.
That'll make it more feminine.
Right? That's what I thought.
I upset you yesterday, didn't I?
I got mad at you for answering a personal call.
I wasn't upset.
Answering a personal call during work hours...
wouldn't please you.
I can't get mad at you.
I'm sorry. I was upset because of my husband.
I'm sorry I took it out on you.
I'll get back to work.
Ms. Jung.
Go get muslin to make a blouse, please.
Come in.
Yes. What is it?
I strengthened the election pledges since they were lacking.
All three candidates, including you,
said would build Construction Technology Education Center.
None of you had a specific plan to raise funds.
So I strengthened that part.
Good. That's necessary.
But Jeong Hoon,
it's like I already won the election.
I think what Sang Pil gave me is enough.
Father, like I told you before,
winning by using malicious propaganda...
won't do you any good.
If you're going to do greater things,
how you'll lead the association after you're elected...
is more important.
Sure.
There's nothing better than winning a race by using standard tactics.
So please just hold on to what Sang Pil gave you...
as your final resort.
Okay. Good job.
Did you stay up late last night to prepare this?
Mi Jin is very upset because you're always working.
I scolded her, but you should pay more attention to her too.
Yes, Father.
I'll be meeting with someone from the association tonight.
But you should go home early.
I'd love to take you too,
- but we have to think about Mi Jin. - Well...
Okay.
Come in.
Sang Pil.
You must be busy. Why are you here again?
I should help you until the election is over.
Jeong Hoon brought me a new strategy.
You two are helping me...
from left and right. I feel very reassured.
Jeong Hoon, what is the new strategy?
You don't need to know.
I want to help my uncle since I'm family.
I know you want to help, but you're going too far.
I'd like to know your true intention...
for intervening.
True intention?
I'm doing this out of the good of my heart. How could you say that?
Jeong Hoon. Let me give you a piece of advice.
It's naive to think that having a clean win...
is right.
That's not an advice.
You and I have different values.
Anyway, if you really want to help my father-in-law,
please help him, so he can win fair and square.
Okay. You help him your way,
and I'll help him my way.
Keep it up.
Mr. Han.
What brings you here?
I had a talk with Jeong Hoon regarding the election.
There's no more misunderstanding about last night, right?
Even though you and Bok Shil are childhood friends,
she's my singer who is about to make her debut,
so please don't do anything that'll create rumors.
I'll see you next time. Excuse me.
He should've said excuse me...
before he barged in.
Guys, let's go home.
Already? Mr. Oh is still working though.
Hey, I worked with him until late last night.
I can't do it anymore.
I'll get going first.
He stayed late just to be on Mr. Oh's good side.
Let's wrap it up and go home.
Bok Shil. It's me.
Did Mr. Cha scold you a lot?
What did you tell him last night?
I told him we grew up in the same neighborhood.
Choon Ja came this morning. I heard you asked her to do that.
Yes, because I was worried.
Choon Ja was really good at acting.
Mr. Cha looked like he believed her.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
I made you tell lies because of me.
Bok Shil.
You should go back home.
Mom still won't let me become a singer. How can I go home?
Talk to her nicely, and get her permission.
You said you are lonely living alone.
You said you miss your family.
I saw Jeong Tae...
and Jeong Woo not too long ago. It was nice to see them.
Actually, I miss Grandma and Mom too.
I want to eat with them too.
But I can't go home now. My mom won't give me permission.
So when I make my debut, I'll go home then.
Grandma.
- Is it you, Jeong Hoon? - Yes.
I couldn't visit you often because I was so busy.
- I'm sorry. - Where are you?
Are you still at work?
I'll go home soon.
Don't skip any meals.
Did you eat the food I gave you?
Yes.
It's delicious.
Tell me if it's finished.
- I'll make more for you. - Okay.
How is Jeong Tae? Is he well?
Of course. He's well.
How about Mom? Is she home yet?
Not yet.
Goodness. The phone bill will cost too much.
I'd love to talk more, but you should hang up.
Come visit us when you have time.
Goodbye.
Okay, Grandma. I'll go and see you soon.
Why are you home so early?
Did the sun rise in the east today?
Mom, the sun originally rises in the east.
You know what I mean.
I came home to eat with Mi Jin,
instead of having dinner with Father and advisers.
You should've called ahead. We already ate.
Come. I'll prepare dinner for you.
Go ahead.
And please always be nice to her like today.
Mi Jin, can you bring me my grandma's food?
I threw it out.
- You threw it out? - Who'd eat that?
I threw it out because nobody was eating it.
Mi Jin.
You should've told me not to throw it out then.
Do I need to tell you that?
It's okay to not put it on table when all of us are eating.
But Grandma packed it for me.
How can you throw that out?
Why can't you understand her feelings?
Haven't you thought about my feelings?
Is this something to get mad about?
Okay. Stop it.
Do we really have to fight over something like this?
Min Su, why won't you stop crying?
If you aren't hungry,
are you sick?
What is it?
Min Su.
Min Su. You're burning up.
Min Su. Wait here. I'll bring a wet towel.
Min Su, what's bothering you?
Let's go to the hospital.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Mommy will make it all better.
It's a little loose.
Hey, Bok Shil.
It looks like you're going first. Did you know that?
I guess she got her way.
This girl is terrible.
She's taking everything that's good.
I'm sure it's none of your business.
Leave her alone.
The order has changed, but nothing else will change.
That's right. Look on the good side.
Anyway, poor Bok Shil.
You're still living away from home. Are you okay?
Your mom's so stubborn. She should give up by now.
All right. Let's get ready.
- Yes. - Okay.
Gosh, that nasty man.
That drunkard is making a scene.
Did someone bother you?
Be quiet! This isn't a market place or something.
What did she just say?
- Goodness. - Gosh.
Hye Rin and Se Ra switched turns.
Is that okay?
Se Ra will sing one more song instead. Is that okay?
Fine by me.
Anyway, when will you bring Han Soo Ran?
Why do you always send lousy singers instead of top singers?
Lousy? What makes you say that they're lousy?
Mr. Cha, are you yelling at me?
Why are you doing this? Please calm down.
Don't you dare mistreat my singers.
Why that... Did he just look down on me?
I should teach him a lesson one day.
Both of us are the president's underlings anyway.
What president? Who are you talking about?
You don't need to know.
What's up with you?
The cabaret is ready for business. I need to run out for a minute.
Why is he...
Gosh, there isn't anyone that satisfies me.
You have me, sir.
Put that face away.
Sir.
Mom.
We have to make him pay today.
Be quiet.
That was delicious.
Your food is better than a first-class hotel's.
Would you like to pay for all the meals you had?
Here you go.
What's this?
I'm sorry I've been putting my bills on tab.
Don't feel pressured and take it.
It's worth more than dozen bowls of noodles.
Worth more than dozen bowls?
This is precious medicine.
It works great for knee pains.
Because you're so kind-hearted,
and because your food is so delicious,
I'm giving this to you.
I'm a president of a pharmaceutical company that makes this.
Well, I don't need this expensive medicine.
Just pay us with money.
Please do that.
You must be rich since you're a president. Please pay.
Don't feel pressured and take it.
Working all day would make your arms and legs hurt.
Or you can be a good daughter...
and give it to your parents.
- That was a great meal. - Excuse me.
- Should I go after him? - It's okay.
My goodness.
Do you think this really is a good medicine?
Mom.
Jeong Tae, that old man didn't pay again.
What?
What a weird man. Seriously.
Why are you here already?
Isn't it closing time? Let's close the shop and go somewhere.
- Where? - Let's close the shop first.
- Jeong Woo, hurry up. - Okay.
(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
What...
Where are we?
This is where I work.
Bok Shil sings here.
- What? Goodness. - Mom.
You should see Bok Shil since you're here.
Stop all this nonsense.
Mom, you're worried about her, right?
You should make her come home.
Do you think she can come home if you don't tell her to?
- Let me go. - Come on. Let's go.
- Let go. - Let's go, Ms. Lee.
- Let's go. Come with me. - Hey.
(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
Your eyes glimmer and shimmer
As you look at me...
- Come in. - Stop it.
It's over here.
- My heart flutters and shakes - There.
- As if it is a wildflower - Goodness.
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
Mom...
- What's going on? - Why did she stop?
- Hey, Bok Shil. - What's wrong?
- Hey! - Sing!
- What? - What's going on?
- Be quiet. - Get off the stage.
- What? - Why did you stop singing?
Goodness.
Why aren't you singing?
- Hey! - Why don't you sing?
- Get lost if you won't sing. - Get off the stage.
- What? - Get lost.
Why aren't you singing?
Get lost if you aren't going to sing!
(Through the Waves)
What are you doing at a pub?
This isn't everything.
He has no money, no dad. He should be healthy at least.
- What were you thinking? - I'm sorry.
Jeong Tae will regret that he let me go.
- Mom. - You should see the seamstress.
You wouldn't want to cover up for her.
I don't want to see you again. Leave!
She left crying.
Let's go talk somewhere.
Where did she go? Didn't she come here?
Stop crying. It breaks my heart.
It breaks your heart?
