(Episode 86)
- Were you by the sea until now? - Yes.
Your baby is so cute.
Is there anything I can do here?
There's a lot to do around here.
The tide is low,
so you can catch clams in the mud.
Clams? Can I sell them?
Of course you can.
If you work hard enough, you'll make a decent living.
I'll watch your baby for you. Go ahead.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Look after Min Su for me. - Sure.
The young man from last year.
Is he the baby's father?
You wanted to cook for him...
and asked if you could use my kitchen.
Don't you remember that, miss? Sorry, you must be married now.
You made such a cute couple.
That young man's the baby's dad, isn't he?
Something must've happened to you.
I went and talked too much.
Min Su, Mom's off to work.
Play on your own for a while.
Boss.
Why are you back?
To ask if I can help you.
You need to start campaigning.
Before that,
there's something else you must do.
What is it? I'm listening.
Madam Gu's niece.
Her fleeing isn't the end. Do you know what I mean?
Of course I do. Don't worry.
You know me.
My boys are on the scent even before you asked.
You have nothing to worry about.
You want to know if your son-in-law is in touch with...
Madam Gu's niece.
Oh, you're here.
You have a visitor.
Mr. Jo, you can leave.
Yes, boss. I mean sir.
Why was Mr. Jo here?
I told him that you're in charge of hiring contractors...
but he keeps coming by to bother me.
I see.
Hoseo Dam's blueprint.
We checked the site,
considered attached structures and installation costs...
and came up with that.
If you approve it, we can break ground.
Okay, well done.
I'll have a look.
Can you concentrate on work now?
You won't disappoint Mi Jin or me anymore?
No.
Good.
You don't need to report to me or ask for my approval all the time.
Daeguk Construction is yours now.
You should take the helm.
I should trust you with this...
and focus my efforts on my political career.
Let me see...
Mr. Oh, can we have a word?
Why do you have so much against me?
About your brother.
Yes, I did take him out on the job,
but he killed a man by accident.
What is it you want to say? Get to the point.
My point is,
you shouldn't hold a grudge against me for so long.
Your brother works for me now.
What I'm saying is, don't you think it's time...
to hire us to work for you as contractors again?
I believe that issue's closed.
I have no reason to switch contractors.
Nothing good will come from you treating me like this.
What I'm saying is, for Jeong Tae's sake,
we should try to get along. Understand?
How do you know my father-in-law?
What do you mean?
I don't understand.
You called him "boss".
How long have you known him that you'd address him like that?
I called him boss by accident.
I've known Mr. Hwang for only 2, 3 years.
Why do you want to know that?
Mr. Jo reported that Soon Young had left to your father-in-law.
I don't know how he knows Mr. Jo,
but I get a feeling Mr. Hwang's scarier than we think.
- You're back. - Yes.
Did you get all the clothes to the bazaar?
Ms. Jung, bring us something cold to drink.
Okay.
You'd have been humiliated if your dad...
hadn't helped buy the clothes to hand in.
It's the first bazaar since your dad became chief...
and you almost failed to take part.
That's all Soon Young's fault.
- Oh dear. - Ms. Hwang.
Thanks. How were things while I was gone?
The new seamstress' sewing isn't very good.
Is there a problem?
One of our clients came in for a fitting...
and left the outfit because she didn't like the sewing.
- Let me see it. - Okay.
What's this mess?
This needs to be redone.
Oh dear. Mi Jin must have a problem with seamstresses.
Welcome.
I don't care for welcomes. Where's the boss?
Why are you back?
Why can't I come by?
Find Soon Young. Bring her back.
What are you talking about? Who should we find?
What do you want?
I'll make you pay.
Have you lost your mind? You can't do this here!
Ms. Jung, get her out of here!
Stop this and get out.
Where am I to find Soon Young? Where has she gone?
What are you talking about?
Soon Young ran away.
You two kept coming by and giving her a hard time...
and Jeong Hoon's grandma wanted the baby. She couldn't stand it!
That's why she disappeared without a word!
Soon Young disappeared? Are you sure?
Yes. Are you relieved?
You bothered her so much...
and now you're glad she's gone?
Stop it and leave...
or I'll call the police.
Find Soon Young!
She ran away from you so you should bring her back!
Soon Young disappeared?
That's for the better. She did you a favor.
If she disappeared, Jeong Hoon can't see her either.
Jeong Hoon's grandma wanted the baby?
Has she gone senile?
Hello.
What business do you have here?
Have you heard from Soon Young? I was worried.
Now you care?
Your family members took turns pestering her...
and now you're worried?
I just turned your sister-in-law's boutique upside-down.
Soon Young decided to go into hiding...
because of your family.
No one's welcome and neither are you.
Wait.
You said worked with her at the same factory, right?
Was she close to any of her coworkers?
Did she have a friend I don't know about?
I don't think she was particularly close to anyone.
Then where should I look?
Where could she be with a small baby in tow?
You can't guess where she could've gone to?
If I knew I'd be out looking for her.
If you think of a friend...
she could've been in touch with, tell me.
- Will you? - Yes.
My gosh.
Where did she go with a young baby?
Why is she so cruel and stubborn?
Putting the baby through all that.
She must've had no choice.
She couldn't live...
with the thought of losing Min Su.
We aren't strangers.
We'd raise the boy very well.
- Hello, Grandma. - Welcome.
- Mom, you're home too. - Why are you here?
I heard about Soon Young and got worried.
I went to her house.
Did you hear any news?
Did she contact her aunt?
No. Her aunt asked me if I knew where she could be.
If she'd had any other friends.
Oh, I just remembered.
The drama you sang the theme for has started.
- Yes. - You bought me a radio...
and I was too preoccupied to tune in.
It's okay.
Will you stay for dinner?
No, I have to go. I dropped by on my way to work.
Do you want more food?
No, I still have what you last gave me.
Don't mind me. I'll tell you when I need more.
I have go to now.
Okay. Visit us often.
Okay.
Bye.
Ok Boon, what's all this I heard?
Madam Gu's niece was raising Jeong Hoon's baby?
Madam Gu told us yesterday.
Her niece disappeared with the baby, did she?
You must be so concerned.
You should get going.
And you can leave too.
I came over to show my concern...
and this is how they treat me?
Bok Shil, let's talk.
About what?
You dress differently now that you sang a drama theme song.
Do you mind if I ask you again?
Please don't see my Kyung Ho again, okay?
Okay, don't worry.
I'm so relieved that you said that.
We're neighbors and we shouldn't get into shameful situations.
You just saw...
how your mom couldn't even look straight at me.
As long as you don't date my son,
we have no reason to tiptoe around each other, do we?
- I have to go. - Okay.
So what if her eldest son married a rich woman?
Her daughter lives away from home.
If you think about that, my son's the best in the world.
Mr. Cha asked for me too?
I think it's about Hye Rin's album.
Go on inside.
- Mr. Jang. - What?
Have a look at this.
What is it?
- Who wrote this? - My younger brother.
He did it on his own without taking music lessons.
I wanted you to have a look...
and tell us if he shows any promise.
What do you think?
He wrote this without taking music lessons?
Yes.
He's pretty good.
- He has a lot of potential. - He does?
Bring him over to see me.
Okay. Thank you, sir.
- You asked to see me? - Yes.
We'll record Hye Rin's album in two days. Get things ready.
Okay.
Watch your voice.
Don't you worry about me.
And Se Ra. You'll go on TV tomorrow.
What? Me?
She'll be on TV already when she doesn't have an album?
She sang the theme for a radio drama.
Come into my office.
He tried very hard to get you a TV appearance.
Congratulations, Se Ra. Good luck.
I had Mi Jin pick out something for you to wear.
We'll go out later to meet a makeup artist too.
Will I really be on TV?
I didn't release an album...
and I only sang a drama theme song.
I told you that I'd make you successful.
Is that why you tried to get me on TV...
when no program called for an appearance?
Jin Kyu said you'd tried hard.
I made you a promise and I should keep it.
This is the beginning.
Thank you, sir.
I'll do my best so I don't let you down.
It's not a dream, is it?
I'm really going to be on TV, right?
Now you try.
It's not a dream.
Kyung Ho.
I called your office...
and you were out, so I waited for you.
I told you clearly that I'm not interested in you.
Do you still have feelings for Se Ra?
Se Ra...
will be on TV tomorrow.
How do you think she got a slot when she has no album?
Mr. Cha pulled some strings.
Why do you think? It's because he likes her.
Se Ra won't be able to ignore someone like that.
She needs someone like him to succeed.
Don't you think so?
Why must I listen to you say all this?
Because I think you still have feelings for Se Ra.
Why are you wasting your time when you know me so well?
I'm wasting my time?
Wait and see.
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
I didn't eat well when I was pregnant with Min Su.
I think he was born weak.
Min Su...
is my son, not yours.
He has nothing to do with you.
So forget about us.
Min Su...
Erase him from your mind.
From your eyes.
And your heart.
Come in.
I got back from the site.
How are things over there?
We have to build an access road to the site first.
I don't know if we can transfer men from the highway project.
Calculate the all we must cover.
- We can decide then. - Okay.
- Oh Jeong Hoon speaking. - It's me.
Why did you call?
Let's eat dinner together.
Don't blow me off this time.
We both have to work on this, remember?
Okay. I'll come to the boutique when you get off work.
Okay, I'll be waiting.
Did you reconcile with Mr. Oh?
Shouldn't you know your place?
How dare you be nosy?
Hello, Bok Shil.
- Is the dress ready? - Of course.
Ms. Jung, get her outfit.
Sure.
You sang the theme song to a radio drama. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Ms. Hwang.
You should try it on.
I don't need to. I'll just take it.
Will you?
I put a lot of work into it. I'm sure you'll like it.
What will you be wearing it for?
She's going to be on TV tomorrow.
That's what it's for.
Is it really? That's a lot of great news at once.
I'm meeting Jeong Hoon for dinner. You should join us.
- Are you free? - No thanks.
We have to eat as well. We can all eat together.
Yes, Bok Shil.
Bok Shil will be on TV tomorrow.
I see.
You didn't congratulate her.
Do you still disapprove that she sings?
You must be very upset.
It's fine. He disapproved from the start.
Bok Shil. Does Jeong Hoon not talk much around you too?
What?
Yes, he's quiet.
I don't know why I liked him so much.
I don't like chatty men,
but Jeong Hoon's too quiet.
So he's boring.
You should marry someone fun.
Someone who likes you more than you do.
Then I should try harder.
What does that mean?
You can be kind and thoughtful too?
Do you think?
Jeong Hoon never did that for me.
I feel jealous.
It's good to see you smile again.
Isn't it?
I didn't have much to smile about.
But Jeong Hoon said he'd try and not get distracted,
so I'll believe him.
Can I trust you?
Say something, it's getting frustrating.
Okay.
Pay more attention to Mi Jin.
You put her through a lot, didn't you?
See, Bok Shil?
This is how boring Jeong Hoon is.
(Restaurant Rome)
Wasn't that uncomfortable? It was for me.
- Is it over with Kyung Ho? - What?
Yes.
Think about it again.
I don't want you to be involved with Mr. Cha.
Don't worry.
You don't have any extra energy to spare on me.
I went to Soon Young's today.
Out of concern.
Madam Gu asked if Soon Young had any friends.
She hasn't even contacted her aunt.
What were you two talking about so intensely?
We didn't say much.
Sang Pil, take Bok Shil back.
I will. You two go ahead.
- See you again soon. - Sure.
Let's go.
- See you soon, Bok Shil. Bye. - Bye.
This feels so peculiar.
Eating out with you and Jeong Hoon felt like...
I was being officially introduced.
- Shall we walk arm-in-arm? - What?
I need to try harder.
To make you like me more.
Let's go.
It's done. Try it on.
- Thanks. - Sure.
Madam Gu.
Still no news from your niece?
You must be so upset too.
Your niece disappeared with a baby.
You must be so distressed.
That's right.
Look at how scruffy her skin got in just a few days.
I feel so upset myself.
Why are you so upset? What does this have to do with you?
Ae Shim's my...
I don't dare talk about it.
If you picked up on my hints, you should be helping me out.
Jeong Hoon must be feeling terrible as well.
He'll be stressed out but he can't show it...
- around his in-laws. - That's right.
Don't mention him around me.
Who do you think caused this mess?
It started when he got blinded...
for money and deserted Soon Young.
Why are you all here?
The singer isn't here yet, so we're all waiting.
- We'll go now. Let's go. - Okay.
- See you. - Bye.
Are you still looking?
I met some of her old factory coworkers.
No one's in touch with her.
Can you think of anyone else?
If I could, I wouldn't be sitting here worrying.
I'll go on thinking.
You keep looking for her for me.
I will.
Oh dear...
Is Jeong Tae skipping work today?
He came in just now.
What is he up to that he came in just now?
I think that he's going around looking for Madam Gu's niece.
- What? Madam Gu's niece? - Yes.
Then have Jeong Tae followed too.
Find out where Madam Gu's niece is.
Why do you keep looking for her?
We have to get rid of Jeong Hoon.
If he's still in touch with Madam Gu's niece,
my boss won't forgive him.
A son-in-law isn't a son. He can be discarded at any time.
Let's get rid of the annoying fool.
- Here. - Gosh.
Do your job, okay?
Yes, sir. I will.
Thanks for walking me back.
I'm doing what I must.
- I had fun today. - Okay.
Are you waiting for someone?
What? No.
I should go.
Can I call you?
- You'll leave already? - Pardon?
You can stay a while.
It's late. Your father might be worried.
- I had a good time, Tae Shik. - Right.
Thanks for bringing me home.
- You can go now. - I don't mind staying.
It's late. My father will be worried.
Let's part ways today.
Okay then. I'll call you.
Call me tomorrow.
Jeong Tae.
What do you think about him? He was my blind date.
He seemed nice. Good luck.
I plan to give it a go.
You're home so late.
- Were you with Tae Shik? - Yes.
Do you like him then?
Is that why you were with him all day?
Will you see him again?
One question at a time.
The answer is yes, yes, yes.
Good, good. That's just great.
You found just the right guy.
Choon Ja, did you stay out so late on your first date?
That's not good at all.
A woman should play hard to get.
You shouldn't have...
stayed out so late just because you liked the guy.
I'm going inside.
Sure, get some rest.
She must've liked the man a lot.
It seems so.
- Jeong Tae. - Hi.
Any news from Soon Young?
No.
She hasn't contacted her aunt either.
How do you know that?
Bok Shil dropped by earlier after visiting Soon Young's aunt.
She doesn't seem to know anything.
No, she doesn't.
She must be so determined.
- Get some sleep. - Okay.
You won't sleep?
You go to bed. I'll go to bed after I'm done with these.
Doesn't it look like Sang Pil likes your sister?
How would you feel if they like each other?
Wouldn't Sang Pil make Bok Shil a great husband?
I don't want to get involved with him like that.
Why not? With Sang Pil at her side,
Bok Shil's career could only take off.
Is that why you didn't look too pleased at dinner?
I thought you were thinking of that woman.
Go to bed.
Soon Young's aunt came to the boutique today.
Soon Young disappeared without a word.
Did you know about that?
It's in the past. Can you stop talking about that?
Okay, I won't.
I don't want to talk about her in our room.
I'll go to bed.
I can sleep well tonight.
When Mom goes to the seaside
To dive for oysters
The baby stays all alone
And keeps the home occupied
The baby draws
(Daeguk Construction)
Stick to this blueprint.
Okay.
Where's the speech for my campaign?
I'm finishing it up. I'll be ready today.
Really?
Then that's the only thing you'll do for my campaign.
My party will help me out.
You focus on your job.
Yes, sir.
Jung Won, you said you saw "The Sun of Youth".
Yes, why?
- I'm going to watch it today. - With whom?
The blind date you met a while ago?
You're back, Mr. Oh.
Yes.
- Mr. Hwang approved the blueprint. - Okay.
Why does no one here care about the hierarchy?
Even if Mr. Han does the work, he should give orders to me.
How did you think of coming to an island?
You'd never seen the sea before.
"The Island Teacher."
You watched that and wanted to see the sea.
You remembered that?
Of course I did. I wanted to bring you here.
Jeong Tae, let's meet up.
- Jeong Tae. - Hi.
What is it?
- Can you go somewhere? - Where?
I remembered where she could be.
You did? Where's that?
(Yeonhee Cafe)
I'll call when I find her.
Okay, thanks.
Sure. See you.
Where did he get to?
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Have you seen a young woman with a baby?
Thanks.
Excuse me.
Have you seen a young woman with a baby?
She's this tall.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Have you seen a young woman with a baby?
Thanks.
(Through the Waves)
I came to apologize.
Why should Jeong Hoon find us a place to stay?
You tried to take Soon Young's baby.
He said he might do something to Min Su.
Jeong Hoon's father-in-law said that?
He's the man of the family now.
I'm saying this because I think Mr. Hwang's scarier than we think.
Promise me that you won't tell anyone you found us.
Are you two shooting a film in broad daylight?
Mr. Cha and I, we both need each other.
Don't cling to Bok Shil!
Do I have to give more reasons why I chose Mr. Cha?
I came to introduce myself properly.
