How about a drink after work?
Why you keep calling me out?
Why you come out then?
Just curious about a thing. How was my lullaby?
Chased away my sleep.
I see.
Don't be sad though. I called you out because of that lullaby.
You said it chased away your sleep.
It did but my heart... It made me feel relaxed.
I'm actually a pitiful guy that struggles everyday.
Guess your sympathy tactic worked.
You made me want to pat you on your back. And say everything will be alright.
You think so? Everything will be alright?
What the hell are you doing!
You made her call me cheapie and now made her slap me?
Tell your mom this. Tell her you called me out, not me.
And that I've done nothing wrong to deserve this!
You'll ruin your life if you get involved with a girl like that. So you...
Just leave me alone. Let me breathe please!
Stop right there! Sukhyun! Sukhyun!
Glad you're here. Go deliver this.
I don't feel like it.
What's wrong?
I was slapped for the first time in my life.
Who slapped you?
A scary woman who guards her son 24 hours a day.
She guards her son?
Are you saying the mother of that guy you're dating slapped you?
Can't exactly say we're dating.
She slapped you not to meet her son, didn't she?
Don't ever meet that moron again. What kind of an idiot is that?
Why'd you date a fool who can't even convince his own mom?
I thought you'd ask me for a drink. You're too indifferent.
I'm sorry. Things kept coming up.
-Yes, it sure was busy last week. -Let's go in my car today.
Felt bad about these days. I'll take you home today.
Will you?
What would you like to eat? Wonder if we can make a reservation now.
Oh, my phone.
Forgot it at my office. Please wait inside my car.
Okay.
Sowon?
Mom's making a special meal.
I called not to miss her special healthy chicken soup.
Really? I'll stop by no matter how late. Please leave one for me.
Okay.
So they disappeared yesterday for this?
Coming together? We were talking about his date yesterday.
Nothing much to tell yet. I'll tell you after they had a few dates.
I was dumped.
Huh?
Sukhyun...
I guess they thought I was an heir at first.
They changed their face as soon they found out I'm not.
I'd also hate a family who's after our wealth.
You should find a decent family for him, Haeran.
-Yes, Mother. -I already have someone.
Oh. You do?
No, he doesn't. He's just making up an excuse to avoid blind dates.
You be quiet. Tell me, Sukhyun.
Yes. I like someone.
I'd like to go steady with her so please allow me, Grandma.
I'd like to talk to you both after dinner.
Maybe you've had too much drink last night.
I'm sure Sowon's family had a party yesterday.
When our family was walking on thin ice.
I'm sorry. I keep putting you in a difficult spot.
You're sorry to me?
You should be sorry about something else, not that.
I've started to like you but it seems you're not interested in me.
I thought I could just work. But things are tough for me these days.
I wish I have someone who'd be on my side. Whether a lover or a husband.
I'd welcome you as a friend anytime.
Friend... Is Sowon your friend too? Drink and drive together?
I hope but we're just a partner on the same boat because of Hyunwoo Jang.
Excuse me.
Partner?
Nothing more?
Mr. Kang?
He stepped out for a minute. What is it? You can tell me.
I called because of his dinner.
I was waiting for him but we have to close soon.
You don't have to call each time for his dinner. He already ate.
I guess he was on a date. He should've called if he wasn't coming.
I answer your partner's call. She was worried about your dinner.
I see.
Amazing that she'd call her tenant at this hour about his dinner.
Great boarding house.
She probably called because of special menu today.
You already ate though. That's too bad.
I know.
What do you mean you have someone? You didn't know about this?
He doesn't have anyone. He's just trying to avoid blind dates.
Is she right?
Should I bring her tomorrow?
Bring home a girl you met on the street? Are you crazy?
Rather than that Hajin Corp.'s snob, I rather like what you call a cheapie.
Bring her. I'd like to see her.
No, Mother.
I've never disobeyed you until now. I have my reasons in doing this.
Please leave his marriage matter to me, Mother.
True. I'm sure you'll find a best girl for your son.
Grandma.
I'm sure your mom has a reason for her opposition.
You should reconsider. Who'd care for you more than your mom?
Maybe because of sun? Too many freckles.
I heard $500 cosmetic would fix this and get rid of all the wrinkles.
You can't stop Grey hair. Getting old isn't that bad.
Forget your lecture.
I ate too much chicken soup. Can't sleep with a full stomach.
Hold my legs for sit-up.
Lie down. Least I can do for a roommate.
How's Gyunwoo's job search going?
He'll be 40 next year. He can end up a bum all his life.
What? Bum all his life?
He can get married when he gets a job.
He has to get a job if he wants to get married.
He will. He'll get a stupid job!
If he gets a job and rents more room, you can do without Sowon.
Repeat like a parrot, don't you?
Get a job, divorce your daughter... day and night.
If our rooms earn $4,000 a month, I can let her go right now.
Did you hold on to her for that $4,000 hospital and nurse expenses?
Not because of money. You keep talking about money, that's why.
I'm keeping Sowon because Hyunwoo might wake up and look for her.
Then earn $400 at least. And stop looking to my skinny daughter.
Gosh. Such a sad life with in-laws.
Do housework, get a job, let Sowon divorce. How could I live like this?
I'm home.
You drank together?
Yes.
But Jinhee doesn't look drunk.
I drank non-alcohol since I had to bring her home.
Guess you didn't want to send her with a paid driver.
I'll go upstairs, Grandma.
Okay.
Good night. Thanks for being my drinking buddy.
Ihyun would never get drunk with someone she doesn't like.
Guess she really loved a date today.
Let's go up.
-Should I bring out teas? -Yes.
Have some tea. Come.
What in the... You weren't drunk?
Guess living together sure transforms a person.
You act just like Haeran. You almost got me to believe you.
You were right. Your intuition.
Me? About what?
I bet Sowon will come between me and VP Kang.
Can't help living at her house but I'll never let her work at CE.
Why would she?
I won't let her pass the recipe contest.
-You two decided to date? -As friends.
You two are too old to be friends. You should seriously consider dating her.
If you two decide, I and your parents will be so happy.
You like someone else?
You do?
No.
If you ended up divorcing your ex-wife your parents opposed,
you should listen to your parents this time.
You're a perfect man to soften her up.
Open the door, Sukhyun. Didn't you hear me?
Open. Sukhyun.
Just marry him off to whoever he wants.
Aren't you too much to try to match him up a high class family?
What does he have? He's not highly educated or successful like Ihyun.
You can't judge him like that when he's an only son of Song's family.
If you want to stick around in this house, you better watch your mouth.
What in ... Threatening me to my face.
That wench...
What's going on?
She should just turn it off. Why does she keep it on when she's not answering?
-I'lll just... -Mom. I'll talk to her. Don't say anything.
I told you. You should convince her never to meet him again.
Okay, Mom.
Is it him?
-Mom told you? -Yes. She's worried about you.
I guess I'm crazy.
I still didn't come to senses when his mom even slapped me.
He keeps calling. What will you do?
I only met him recently but so strange. Why can't I decide to break up?
I guess you met your man.
I'll keep thinking about him if I break up like this.
Should I meet with his mom?
No. She might slap you too.
No way.
I'll meet her. I'll try to convince what a great girl you are.
If it doesn't work, let's think of something else then.
Sowon.
You have to meet a good man and be happy.
That way, you'll do things that I couldn't do for Mom.
I have a horrible start already.
In any case, live a happy life for Mom, okay?
Did he come home late from his date? He didn't make coffee yet.
I guess you came home late from your date last night.
You must've closed the restaurant early yesterday.
It was closed when I came past 10.
Gosh. I thought you had dinner. Why did you come?
I could still eat chicken soup.
I should've waited then. I had to tell you something.
Tell me something?
I think Gyunwoo got upset from what happened.
Let's be careful from next time.
You threw away that photo, right?
Yes... It was my mistake. Sorry to worry you.
I'm sorry too. For making Gyunwoo suspect you like that.
Do you still have grudge against CE?
No. Not anymore.
Chairwoman even let us reinvestigate. I don't have any bad feelings anymore.
Good. CE Group might call you.
Me?
I applied for the recipe contest since your mother asked me.
Pardon?
As expected, you were on the finalists list.
They'll call you to come for a final taste test.
I wanted to tell you so that you won't be shocked later.
Would I work as an intern if I pass that?
Yes.
Great. I hope to pass the taste test.
That was unexpected. I thought you'd get mad at me.
I should help you there at CE to prove Hyunwoo's innocence.
If I was smarter five years ago, I could've cleared his false charges.
Whenever I think that, I feel like there's a stone in my throat.
Yes. Let's prove his innocence together and make you smile again.
People will think I already passed.
Pass that final test. I'm sure you can do it.
Thank you.
I knew it. I'm a narrow-minded fool. Stupid, idiot, moron...
Come taste this. My mouth feels dry this morning.
Tastes great. You're a better cook than Janggeum the great chef.
Some happy news?
Guess the bird this morning brought good news.
Did you pass?
Were you waiting for that?
You did? Did you pass?
No. I'm going for a final test.
My. That's great. That's wonderful.
I want to pass tomorrow's test and gift you my award.
I don't need that. I couldn't ask for more if you can get out of this small town.
Mom.
Do a good job and pass.
You deserve such a happy occasion. Then life will be fair.
Let's work hard and gift Mom with the award.
Fighting, Sowon.
Keeps calling from early morning?
Why does this mama boy act like he's a man of will?
I should turn off the phone.
This isn't his number.
Hello?
You know who I am, right?
Let's meet. How about during lunch? You have time?
-I have no reason to meet you. -Should I visit you at home then?
What?
I only need to check your decision. Don't tell my son if you want to avoid havoc.
What is this crazy woman? How did she find out my number?
Mama boy couldn't have told her.
Why? What did she say?
She wants to meet during lunch. Otherwise she'll come to our house.
Will you meet her? Should I go with you?
I haven't done anything wrong. I'll see what she has to say.
I'm not scared.
I'll go with you.
The executives decided to fail her during the final test, right?
Yes. The CEO raised an opposition due to her past protest involving Hyunwoo Jang.
Alright. Leave.
Oh... Yes.
If VP Kang intervenes again, Sowon certainly isn't just a partner.
More than that.
Why was Sowon Han taken out from the finalists list?
She was a wife of an embezzler and she protested in front of CE for five years.
Do you think it's right to accept her at CE?
You and Director Shin know that the reinvestigation will ensue.
You can appeal to the executives since you're the VP in charge.
The fact that Hyunwoo Jang is an embezzler does not change...
...regardless of the reinvestigation order.
Aren't you too hasty to decide Hyunwoo is not guilty when...
...we didn't even commence the investigation?
I'm sorry. I have a meeting.
Don't be nervous.
Remember I settled the matter when Iljin harassed you in high school?
You haven't seen that lady.
Why? She's big like Amazon?
No, she's like that witch queen in Snow White.
I'm more curious now.
Where are you? I thought you were at the restaurant.
What are you doing there at this hour?
I have to discuss something urgently.
Is it regarding the contest?
Your name disappeared all of a sudden from the finalists list.
Why? Something's wrong?
I was on the finalists list but I guess something happened.
Why isn't she coming? 30 minutes passed.
She might not even show up so you should just go.
She even slapped me so how could she get any worse?
But still.
Sowon Han.
What are you doing here? Oh, I'm glad I met you.
Do you know why I was excluded from the finalists list?
That's fast. I guess VP Kang already called. Ask him.
Did you sleep with my son?
-What? -No?
Then I know what you'll do next.
You'll seduce him to sleep with you, then bring your whole family for a deal.
Do you know my family?
How could you say that when you haven't even met them?
I've seen many of those moms that ask for money with their daughter.
It's an obvious game so say it now. How much do you need?
Do you have so much money?
I've only talked with him a few times. How much will you give me?
-Just name the price. -I don't need money.
You don't?
You're not thinking of using him to become Cinderella, are you?
You and my son are from completely different backgrounds.
Totally at a different level.
The loach can't live in the sea and the carp can't live in the dirty stream.
Just as such, people have to live at where they belong.
Mom said all men are created equal. That's how I was taught.
Your mother will be so upset when she knows you're treated this way.
You can't possibly think you're a first girl for my son.
I'm sick of doing this so just text me the amount and your bank number.
Meeting again won't help.
Hello?
Where are you? I have to meet you now.
Thanks for calling.
If you don't answer today, I was going to search for you.
What kind of jerk are you? How many sluts did you pay to get rid of?
She acted like she'd write me a blank check when I didn't even sleep with you.
If I do sleep with you, she might make me rich.
Did you meet with my mom again?
What did she say? Did she slap you again?
I'd rather get slapped. I learned how words can hurt me so much.
Am I some insect? A germ?
How great are you that I can't even hang out with you?
I've never lived like a tramp. So why did your mom have to scorn my mom!
Who does she think she is!
I'm sorry. So sorry.
You'll visit each executive with this?
Please fail that person, Mr. CEO. I beg you.
Why is that dork with that old lady?
Who's the woman you were with in Kangnam?
-Do you think it'll go well? -I've tried my best.
Did you slap my daughter? Yes, let's meet.
She's Jeungsook's daughter?
