THIRD GENERATION SEOLLEONGTANG
Mom.
Mom, Sook-ja.
My pretty little girl is not asleep yet?
I've been feeling very, very happy,
so I had a drink.
Dad, what are you doing drinking every day?
Get a hold of yourself!
Don't worry, little lady.
Once your daddy makes a breakthrough,
Bo-ram Hwang's life is going to be smooth sailing.
I bought you all gifts.
This is for you Bo-ram.
And,
this one's for Alex.
-This is for Sook-ja. -It's too heavy.
I bought all of these from the department store.
And this one's for Yoon-ee.
-And this one-- -Dad!
Dad, I don't need these expensive gifts.
You're unemployed right now.
How can you spend so much money when you're unemployed?
Can you even send me to college down the road?
Gosh.
I told you not to worry, my little girl.
How can I not worry?
You don't do work at the restaurant and you drink every day.
If you get into trouble, Grandma and Grandpa will kick us out too.
Then where are we going to live?
It's okay, Bo-ram.
Your dad may get thrown out of the house, but you will never be kicked out of here.
Don't even worry about that.
Yoon-ee, take Bo-ram inside and put her to bed.
-I will read you to bed. -You should go in
-and sleep too. -Okay.
How can you be worse than a ten-year-old?
Where did you get the money to buy all this stuff?
Mom.
your son, Geum-ho Hwang, won some money today.
-Just like this! -Oh, I see.
You didn't earn it, but won it?
You don't even have any money for a fare. Where did you get the money to gamble?
Oh, um...
I'm sorry, ma'am.
He was pleading me to lend him the money.
So how much did you lend him?
Not much in total amount.
About a thousand...
Oh right, Sook-ja.
I'll pay you back next time.
I spent everything I earned today.
Things are so expensive nowadays.
It's not like I had millions of dollars.
A thousand dollars is nothing.
Ah, that feels nice.
I wonder what I did in my past life
for my only son to be like this.
You're my son, but you scare me.
Mom, this is so unfair!
Why do you and Dad only care about Geum-hee?
Is Geum-hee your only child?
If Geum-hee got divorced and lost her job,
would you and Dad have let her be?
What do you mean?
Do you want us to remarry you
even before the ink on your divorce paper is dry?
It seems like you've got lots to say,
so keep talking, let's hear it all.
If it was anywhere else, for an only son,
they'd care more and cherish more,
but what kind of family doesn't treat a son like a person
and the daughter is the best!
Geum-ho, do you really mean that?
-You stay quiet! -You brat!
You and Dad only think about Geum-hee.
Mom, what do you call Dad?
You call him Geum-hee's father.
What does Dad call you, Mom?
He calls you Geum-hee's mother.
Geum-hee, Geum-hee! Seriously, where is my name?
That girl can do no wrong, but I'm a bastard whenever I do anything.
Damn it!
I should just die.
Ma'am.
Thank goodness his dad went hiking.
Otherwise, he would have fainted again.
Please sit down. You're a patient.
A patient shouldn't be moving around.
How can I just sit and watch while you're cleaning alone?
Hey, there's a necklace here.
It looks like it's broken. What kind of necklace is this?
Anyway,
are we all sleeping here?
Confucius said, "A boy and a girl should not sit together
after they turn seven."
I may not know much else,
but I've been taught to be conservative in bed.
Everyone's been taught to be conservative in bed.
But look, there's only one room. So what would you do?
Fine then. You can go sleep outside.
An unemployed clumsy man talking
about different genders not sitting together?
-Hi, sir. Are you drinking? -Hey.
-You should come join us. -Yes.
-Here. -Thank you.
Here,
-take a glass. -Yes, sir.
Put the tofu on the kimchi and take a bite.
It's very piquant and delicious.
It's a five-year-old ripened kimchi.
Wow.
It's very crunchy for kimchi ripened for five years.
How can it taste like this?
There's a way to make kimchi like that.
So, no matter how much time passes, it doesn't become mushy.
Anyhow, Ms. Kim's kimchi is the best in the world.
Does she study food?
No, she's a seolleongtang restaurant owner.
We run a seolleongtang business.
Are you okay to keep drinking like that?
I can't live without being able to drink a glass or two. I've got nothing else!
Yeah, but you just got back from the hospital.
Are you not well?
Because of acute myocardial infarction,
I had to get my blood vessels widened.
I'm fine now.
But you still shouldn't drink.
It'll just be three glasses, so don't worry.
Hey, don't just drink.
Eat this with it. Okay? Here.
This is water parsley water kimchi.
It helps with dissolving alcohol and it has antidotal effects,
so you wake up sooner and get less drunk.
I see.
Come have seolleongtang one day.
If you taste the kimchi fresh out of the storage room,
you'll probably faint.
-I'll definitely stop by one day. -Good.
All right.
DOONSAN HOSPITAL ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
-Excuse me. -Oh, sure.
Hey, Hyun-soo.
I came hiking, then got sidetracked.
What?
Young-joo?
How is she?
He seems to be involved with Geum-hee somehow.
What do you mean?
I only know up to that.
If I knew everything, would I be here like this?
You're talking nonsense.
Sorry for not being able to say goodbye in person.
I will visit you soon and say thank you properly.
Stay healthy.
She's not too bad.
DOONSAN HOSPITAL
Excuse me.
-Take me directly to Panam-dong, please. -Okay.
RESPECT THE ANCESTORS AND LIVE HARMONIOUSLY
I heard you went hiking yesterday.
It was late, so I slept in the mountains.
Go visit Doonsan Hospital. Young-joo is hospitalized there.
She drank poison last night and was taken there.
Luckily, she was treated quickly, so she's doing okay.
It's too bad,
but I have no reason to go.
-Because of you, Young-joo-- -It's because of her self-regret
and hurt pride,
not because of me.
It has nothing to do with me.
I'll change and get to work.
Let's go. He's just being that way
because he doesn't want to show his feelings.
Goodness.
What will you do if you eat this poorly?
Should I call a chef and make you something?
Japanese?
Chinese?
Italian?
Just tell me what you want.
If you eat this little, you'll faint.
It's a hospital. How will you call a chef?
That's absurd.
Oh dear.
What is this, huh?
Seriously, look at yourself.
Sung-joon, that bastard probably knows about you being like this,
but he's not even calling once, huh?
What about him do you like so much that you risk your life?
Hey, screw the marriage
and go study abroad or go traveling or something!
Dad.
Money isn't enough for me.
I want to live with class and dignity.
Do you get class and dignity if you marry the eldest son of a noble family?
Their family may be known, but do they even have a lot of money?
Sung-joon's family isn't just a noble family.
What? That they raised an intangible cultural asset?
Is that such a big deal?
Do you get a salary or a commission?
You are recognized and respected.
The name alone makes people bow their head.
What good is respect?
After breaking up with Daehan Electronics,
I don't think I can find a man in politics or finance.
However, he's a skilled surgeon
and an heir to Yoogyeong Healthcare Foundation.
With a profile like Master Park's grandson,
he's a good match to heal my broken pride
and for my success too.
It's about survival to me
Hey.
Gosh.
You'll see.
It'll be six months tops.
I'll marry Sung-joon before in that time.
He probably is feeling a little uneasy right now.
Wouldn't it be better to go see her rather than being so anxious?
I'm not particularly fond of Young-joo,
but if she's desperate enough to risk her life for you,
it won't be the worst thing to give her another chance.
I have an operation, so excuse me.
Sung-joon Kim!
You're avoiding not only Young-joo but also your own feelings.
Don't regret it later and go see her now.
Go and finish for good or start from the beginning.
Make up your mind.
Kimchi-chi, chi-chi, radish kimchi
Kimchi-chi, chi-chi
Radish kimchi, One more time!
Kimchi-chi, chi-chi, radish kimchi
-Kimchi-chi, chi-chi, radish kimchi... -Go Bo-ram, go!
"Master Park, spouse of Korea's best denomination, as well as
an intangible cultural asset in the Korean traditional food, has...
decided to reveal Yoogyeong Cuisine Book that was passed down
in the family for hundreds of years and select the successor to the cook book.
The book Yoogyeong Cuisine Book is a record containing recipes
of healing foods that can help prevent and treat illnesses..."
Mom.
Kimchi-chi, chi-chi, radish kimchi...
Why are you talking her newspaper...
Kimchi-chi, chi-chi, radish kimchi
-Salt-fermented baby shrimp's good -Good
-Salt-fermented oyster's good -Good
-Sprinkle chili pepper -Sprinkle
Sprinkle, Kimchi-chi, Chi-chi, radish kimchi
Let's all sing the kimchi song together
I've set you up on a date for this Friday.
You'll be in trouble if you get rejected.
You need to go out with him at least three times.
Mom, are you really setting me up for a blind date?
Everyone gets married late nowadays, I'm not even considered too old yet.
You're not 21. You're 31.
He's a lawyer with a good personality and good looks.
You'd better go and have a good date.
Geum-hee, you're going on a blind date?
Hey, Gun-woo.
Good timing getting here. Can you please try to convince my mom?
She keeps telling me to go on a blind date.
-Hello, how are you? -Oh, hi.
-Good to see you. -Hello, how do you do?
Ma'am, Geum-hee doesn't like to.
Did you have dinner yet?
No, I haven't eaten yet.
This Era's True Noble
Grandma, I'm home!
Sung-joon, come in before you go to your room.
I heard you were hurt hiking. Are you okay?
Yes, I fell on my way down, but I was treated quickly and feel much better now.
Then you should have come home early and rest.
You shouldn't be working so much at once.
I just like to work.
It's kind of cool to see a man so devoted to work.
Yeah, I guess so,
but you need to take care of yourself.
Yes, Grandma.
There's a blind date your uncle set up
with the youngest from Korean Construction.
Wow, she's gorgeous.
I don't know. He's the youngest of three.
A handsome and tall lawyer.
A lawyer?
Well, you're an Eastern medicine doctor. So what if he's a lawyer?
Right?
Hey, have you seen the book, Yoogyeong Cuisine Book?
No, I've never seen it, but have heard a lot about it.
Oh, you saw that article.
The food prescriptions the doctors at your hospital give,
do they all follow the recipes in Yoogyeong Cuisine Book?
Not really,
but I heard that the reason why the chairman opened his hospital was
to share the traditions and the secrets passed down generations
with many people.
Oh, I see.
Gun-woo.
Can I get into Yoogyeong Hospital?
Of course you can.
It just so happens as we expand the hospital,
we'll be hiring more doctors.
Why didn't you tell me such important news sooner!
You can't work at Yoogyeong Hospital.
What about Professor Park's hospital?
You don't need to worry about the professor's hospital.
There are more than plenty of people eager to work at his hospital, Mom.
If you got the position that so many people wanted,
you should be thankful and think about working hard.
Mom, I want to give this a try.
Last time when Dad was admitted to the hospital,
I was thinking that I really liked their practice
and when I saw the article earlier, I got goosebumps.
I thought this is it.
Have I ever said no to your choices?
Just listen to me this one time.
Mom.
Your mom has her reasons for saying that.
Listen to her this time.
She's good looking and seems to have a good background.
You're talking nonsense.
You don't have to go to it just because elders set up the blind date.
Please, Grandma.
Who'd resisting going on a blind date with a gorgeous girl like this?
Say thank you to uncle for me.
Mom, I'm home.
-Dad, you're home. -Sung-joon, you were here.
-Yeah. -If you're done,
would you leave us alone?
-I have something to talk to her about. -Okay.
Good night, Grandma.
Mother.
Did you do the interview for this article?
Yes.
It looks like the lecture I gave at Yoosung University turned out
as a news article.
How can you make a decision like this without telling me anything?
It was your grandmother's will and my belief as well.
I think I should end the tradition
of passing down within the head family from one wife to another.
Mother, do you mean--
Manner, skills and determination.
In order to find the right successor with these qualities,
I will host an open contest.
Are you willing to reveal Yoogyeong Cuisine Book
and hand it down to an outsider?
It could be someone from the outside or someone within our family.
But my intention is to give everyone an equal chance
and pick the best candidate.
You can't do that.
This is our family's tradition and legacy.
Yoogyeong Cuisine Book is the roots of Yoogyeong Hospital and our family.
A tree will die if its roots is revealed.
My intent isn't to reveal the roots, but to bury them deeper.
And the times have changed.
What woman will sacrifice their lives to marry and support such a big family?
I think you feel that way due to the absence of wives.
Sung-joon and I will hurry up to get married.
As for Jin-mi and Young-joo, they're both fully qualified as wives.
They both have good skills,
but people with only good skills are dangerous.
I don't think this is something you can decide on your own.
I'll bring this up with all of the family and see where the majority lies.
-Hyun-myung! -Mother!
Have I ever gone against your word?
But this time, I can't help it. I'm sorry.
I cannot agree with you this time either.
And you can't get married to Jin-mi.
Mother.
Between my veto against your marriage to Jin-mi and the selection of the successor,
I have my reasons.
It's not time yet for me to tell you,
but once you know why, you'll understand too.
Gun-woo, I still think I should go to Yoogyeong Hospital.
No, I will definitely go and apply.
Can you recommend me?
Your mom was pretty stern. Are you sure?
I need to try to convince her as best as I can.
Anyway, you'll be on my side, right?
Of course I'm on your side.
Why would I pass on an opportunity to work with you and see your face all day?
You're the best, buddy! My boy!
But Geum-hee, are you really going on the blind date?
I think I should go on a successful date, get my mom to ease up a little bit,
and then get her approval for applying to Yoogyeong Hospital.
Geum-hee!
I mean it's common to get married late nowadays. Why's your mom rushing you?
Is 31 too old?
Hey, Geum-hee!
If you tell her you have a boyfriend, you won't need to go on the date.
Let's tell her we're dating.
Who'd believe that? Silly.
I understand.
I would feel like that too.
I've vowed to live in hiding forever
and even changed my name when I married you.
If Geum-hee gets into the hospital, what would happen?
How can I live with the constant feeling of fear?
I know, I know.
I know how you feel.
Between my veto against your marriage to Jin-mi and the selection of the successor,
I have my reasons.
It's not time yet for me to tell you.
The whole successor problem seems to be a result of our lack of spouses.
Could the problem with Jin-mi be...
If you will accept Mother when she returns,
shouldn't you be giving up to get married to Ms. Choi?
How's patient Young-joo Seo doing?
He's her family doctor. You can show him her chart.
Her temperature and blood pressure is normal, and her vitals are stable.
Starting tomorrow, she'll be eating the regular meals.
She suffers habitual eye artery rupture, so if she's not feeling well,
she'll start having dim vision and migraines.
She's also allergic to beans and croakers, so when you're ordering her food,
-you'll need to add to comment. -Okay.
And she's sensitive to the air changes, so pay a closer attention
to the humidity level in the air.
The patient is quite ill-tempered, so be aware.
-Take care. -Thanks.
I heard Young-joo is desperate enough to risk her own life,
why don't you ease up on her?
You know well that this isn't life-threatening,
so why are you saying this?
You gave her the prescription, right?
You're an accomplice, be careful.
My dad probably knew, but decided to overlook it.
Is that so?
Can't you just pretend to be fooled?
Aren't you touched by her attempt to play dead?
Young-joo would never throw away her life even if it was more important than this.
What does that mean?
Anyway, take good care of her while she's here.
It'd be best if you don't tell her I was here.
I'll see you.
What's his reaction like?
Would he be here at this hour if he wasn't worried?
But it looks like knowing so much
about each other isn't so great after all.
What does that mean?
Nevertheless, Sung-joon still cares about you
and he still thinks about you.
I think I've done everything, right?
Well then, I'm off.
What's he saying?
Mom, please let me. Please?
Why you don't allow Yoogyeong Hospital?
What's the reason? Dad got treated there too.
Can't you follow what I said? Is it such a big deal?
I want to,
but Mom, I've never gone against your wishes before.
Can't you just allow me this one thing just this once?
When I was reading the article, it felt like my head got hit by a hammer.
I thought about it after listening to you,
but my heart keeps telling me I should work at Yoogyeong Hospital.
Mom, tomorrow's the interview. Please allow me to go.
You've done everything already, so what permission are you looking for?
Mom, tomorrow's the interview.
How can I focus on it when you're being like this?
Geum-hee.
If you really want to work for Yoogyeong Hospital,
you can go for it behind mom's back.
Geum-hee! Hurry here!
-Oh my god! What happened? -Take a look at my little Bo-ram.
I got a call from the nurse's office, so I went to pick her up.
-Huh? -Really?
-Geum-hee, you should take a look. -Yeah, you should.
Bo-ram, can you tell me how your stomach hurts?
What's wrong with Bo-ram? What happened?
-What's wrong, Bo-ram? -Oh dear.
-I feel dizzy, -Yeah.
I feel like throwing up, my body's hot
and my stomach hurts a lot.
Geum-hee, what's wrong with me?
Let me take a look.
Geum-ho, are there no other sick kids at Bo-ram's school?
There were a few other kids at the nurse's office.
Bo-ram, can you tell me what you ate all day?
I had breakfast at home, had lunch at school,
and my deskmate brought snacks from home, so we shared it.
It was a pancake.
Did the pancake have fish in it?
-Yeah, something like that. -That was probably bad.
It's a light case of food poisoning.
Geum-ho, call Bo-ram's teacher
to take all the kids who shared the food to the hospital.
Oh, okay.
Mom, mix apple juice, plum extract, and warm water and feed it slowly to her.
Man-jae, do we have wolfiporia extensa and lotus seeds?
There's an antidote we made. Should we give that to her?
No, that'll be too strong for Bo-ram.
Let's make porridge with those ingredients and serve with water parsley water kimchi.
Yoon-ee, go bring out the five-month-old water parsley water kimchi
-and the plum and persimmon kimchi. -Yes, ma'am.
I'll make the porridge.
Don't season it. Boil the sweet rice in a lingzhi mushroom based broth.
-Ask Geum-hee about the medicine quantity. -Yes, ma'am.
Gosh.
Go wash up and get ready.
Aren't you going to the interview?
-It's nine o'clock. -Right, the interview!
I have to go to the interview.
Mom,
are you allowing me to go then?
You're the best, Mom!
No.
The interview's not a priority when Bo-ram is sick.
Bo-ram.
My little Bo-ram.
Looks like your temperature dropped down. You're doing great.
Thank goodness.
I'll take good care of Bo-ram. You go and get ready.
You shouldn't be late for the interview.
Okay, I'll go and have a great interview.
If you can take care of other patients like you took care of Bo-ram, go ahead.
If you can't, give up and go to the blind date at dinner.
No, of course I can.
I promise.
Here, pinky promise.
You'd better try as hard in the blind date as you are for the interview.
Don't you come back rejected after the first date.
Okay.
If I need to, I'll pretend to be the most conservative girl in the world
to make the guy fall for me.
Thanks, Mom. Thank you.
RESUME
HYUN-MYUNG KIM
Come in.
Hi.
You need to be the interviewer for the Eastern Medicine Hospital staff.
I don't know much about Eastern medicine.
Is there a reason for me to attend the staff interview?
There's an apparent reason.
Starting next year, you'll be managing the Eastern Medicine Hospital.
Pardon?
The foundation is getting bigger
and you can use this as your management training.
I want you to take charge of it from next year.
I thought
the Eastern medicine portion was going to Gun-woo.
What do you mean?
Why would I leave management to Gun-woo?
Gun-woo is there as your support and as someone you trust.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Are you serious?
I heard you treat him like your own blood.
If that's what you want to talk about, let's skip it.
Anyway, come to the interview with that in mind.
Oh, Young-joo is expected to be discharged in the afternoon.
I think you should go visit as courtesy.
I have a blind date set up by the great uncle at night.
I'll see you later.
Oh no, this is so infuriating.
So infuriating. Darn it!
That punk.
Hey! Don't have any more thoughts of marrying Sung-joon!
Dad.
Even if his family wants to give you a golden seat and escort you over,
I won't allow it.
I want this.
He has never shown his face once
when you were almost dead or when you're discharged.
That bastard.
Ms. Young-joo Seo, how do you feel?
Any discomfort during your stay?
At first, I was concerned as this isn't a first class hospital,
but after a little while, it's not bad and you've been very friendly.
Thanks for taking care of my daughter.
Here's a little something extra.
Oh, no, sir.
Please accept it.
I'm very sensitive to air changes
and you altered the setting on the humidifier for me.
Thanks for monitoring in such detail.
I know you took special care of my meals too.
Yeah? They did?
You guys really put in the extra effort. Wait a second.
Here.
Take it. My hands are getting shy.
What, is it too little?
-Do you need more? More? -Oh no, sir.
It's just because of hospital policies.
I'll consider it received in my heart. Thank you.
As for the air purification, humidity check, and meals,
all of the information was
from Dr. Sung-joon from Yoogyeong Hospital.
What?
He called every day to check
and he even stopped by yesterday early morning.
He didn't want us to say anything.
Really?
Please let us know when you're ready. We'll get the prescription ready.
Okay.
Sung-joon is a better guy than I thought.
He is pretty considerate.
Okay. He's better than a guy who's all show on the outside.
I wonder if it's his background?
See, I told you.
Okay, fine.
Let's make Sung-joon my son-in-law just like you said.
Are you getting discharged already? Is that okay?
I brought over some things you like to eat.
Jin-mi, you're so kind.
As I suspected, you're the only one that thinks of Young-joo.
Dad, can you give us a minute?
Why? You have something to discuss?
Jin-mi, after your talk, let's get something to eat later on.
Why don't you just go?
Why do you look back?
Forgettable pain
How do you feel?
Was it worth the extra steps you took?
Watch what you're saying.
It's just you and me here, so who cares?
I've seen you since you were in your mother's womb.
You may have others fooled, but not me.
You're pretty amazing though.
Do you think you're the only one looking right through me?
I can see right through you too.
Who says otherwise?
Young-joo,
I thought Sung-joon would be shocked, forgive you for everything,
and ask you to start over again.
But I guess that wasn't the case?
Last weekend, I was at an event hosted by Korean Construction.
Apparently their youngest is going
on a blind date with Sung-joon today, I think?
It's nothing to worry about.
You were even engaged.
What, Sung-joon can't go on a blind date?
Ms. Choi.
I'm just saying.
Sung-joon is just doing it because he finds himself tempted by me.
It's just a matter of time.
Sung-joon will eventually marry me.
What I'm worried about is the Chairman.
You should stop toying around with the Chairman.
He's got a lot of ambitions, so he's quite susceptible to temptation.
What do you mean?
If you start issues, you may be the first one to fall.
I've warned you.
-Young-joo, are you-- -For you to get here,
you got a lot of help from my dad, right?
You probably know pretty well
as to why my dad tried so hard.
You use my dad's money,
and you date Mr. Kim, who will be my future father-in-law.
You can't do that.
How dare you.
What's your motive?
Is it Sung-joon's dad or Yoogyeong Cuisine Book?
INH's Mr. Lee thinks Master Park's cooking is the best.
All I'm trying to do is get a little help win the INH approval.
I'm not interested in marrying anyone.
For the INH approval, I'll lead the way,
so you won't need to do that to my future father-in-law, then.
I'll look into Gab-soo Lee's weaknesses and interests.
I knew you and I would work well together.
Okay, let's put everything else aside. Let's discuss plans for Gab-soo Lee.
Remember this, Ms. Choi.
Only while I'm certain that we are in the same boat,
I'll be on your side.
What?
Give up on your ideas of marrying Chairman Hyun-myung Kim.
I really don't want you to be my mother-in-law.
And I also don't want my dad hurt.
How rude of her.
I am none other than her mentor. How dare she threaten me?
Here I am, waiting for the right moment, staying quiet and accepting,
and you see me as equals now?
Yes, hello?
Yes, darling.
Yes.
All right. I'll do that.
-Darling? -Yes.
Do you really think that you are up to the task?
It'll be a lot more to manage than you'd think.
Though things didn't work out and someone ended up taking that spot,
that role belonged to me from the first place.
I was raised and taught for that role.
You were seven when I went to the Head House with my grandma
and met you for the first time.
Since then and even now,
you are the only person I've thought of ever marrying.
I've only had the goal of success
and building the family name in my mind all this time.
So I'm not sure what a good man or a good husband is supposed to be.
That's okay. I can be good and I can love you more.
I always thought marriage will be once in a lifetime.
Even though Sung-joon's mom was a very nice and a good woman,
we had to broke up after all.
That's why I gave up on a second marriage.
But
if you feel that way, I'd like
to take a chance with you.
Hyun-myung.
Are you serious?
But...
But?
My mother isn't too excited about this.
I think she sees your strong personality and your business as obstacles.
Does it bother you that I run a business as well?
No, it doesn't bother me at all.
I would actually prefer you to keep running your business.
Sung-joon will likely get married soon and his spouse can care for household.
Just like your goal, if we can get kimchi recognized around the world,
you will have fulfilled your role as the head family's wife.
-Hyun-myung. -I'll gather everyone,
from the press to our acquaintances, at this event and announce our marriage.
Then Mother won't be able to do anything.
I would appreciate it if you can try your best
on winning her trust over until then.
I will. I can do that.
Mother.
You won't be passing on Yoogyeong Cuisine Book and your skills
to a stranger.
Ms. Kim.
Come out quick, Ms. Kim.
I knew this would happen.
Geum-hee! I told you to wait until I can help you get ready.
Why?
-Is it weird? -Yes, very weird!
Do you look at the mirror when you get dressed?
I know I'm supposed to be encouraging you,
but this is just way too much.
I think it's a little too radical to define this as unique taste.
This won't work. Yoon-ee, can you help her with her clothes and makeup?
-Yes, ma'am. -Good.
-Dress her to be pretty but polite. -Okay.
I won't be able to dress like that even if someone would pay me.
Why?
It catches your eye because it's so unique.
-I can't stand it. -Wait, please.
-Geum-hee, it's a no. -No.
Gun-woo.
Is he working?
This must be the list of doctors to interview today.
Let's see who's here.
CHIEF GUN-WOO OH
GEUM-HEE HWANG
YOOGYEONG HOSPITAL
Geum-hee Hwang...
is coming for a job interview?
Hey, Sung-joon.
What's up? Don't you have an operation?
Gun-woo.
A patient with a herniated disc seems to have been mistreated
with Eastern medicine, so I wanted a second opinion.
Schedule a meeting and I'll take a look.
I told Dad that I didn't want to interview the Eastern Medicine Hospital staff,
but I changed my mind.
I just found out someone I know is coming.
-I'd better get going. -Wait up.
Who's the person you know?
I'll let you know if that person gets hired.
I hope you take good care of the patient I mentioned.
See you.
Take care.
Oh, Geum-hee!
Gun-woo!
Wait, wait.
Are you really Geum-hee Hwang?
Wow. You look great.
-I didn't recognize you. -Hey.
Geum-hee, you really look pretty.
-Stop it. -Wow.
Yoon-ee picked the clothes. Does it look okay?
My feet hurt so much I can barely walk.
This isn't just pretty, but it's breathtaking.
What do I do, buddy? I'm so nervous.
No need to be. Try your hardest and you'll get in for sure.
Let's cheer up first.
-Good luck. -Let's do this!
Hello, my name is Geum-hee Hwang.
I'm Hyun-myung Kim, the chairman of the Yoogyeong Healthcare Foundation.
Hi, it's an honor to meet you.
INTERVIEWER
Your workload will probably be smaller and easier at a private hospital.
Is there a particular reason that makes you want to join us?
Yes, when I found out
that Yoogyeong Hospital's method of treatment is to treat every patient
with a mix of disease and psychological treatment
to ease their worry while the lead doctor sets up meal plans,
it touched me in many ways
and I wanted to work at a hospital like that.
Professor Park, your teacher, is a long friend of mine.
Yes, I've heard.
Professor Park is always smiling,
but when evaluating, he's very stern and cold.
And he has provide a recommendation letter about you.
Did you know that?
It was the shortest recommendation letter I've ever received.
Dr. Geum-hee Hwang treats every patient as her first ever patient.
Dr. Geum-hee Hwang treats every patient as her last ever patient.
She will crawl at first and walk, and then eventually run.
But she is still learning to walk.
What's your main area of expertise?
It's healing food and acupuncture.
Specifically for healing food. I've been studying it for five years.
It's my strong belief that prepping and eating good food can help with treatment.
What do you mean by healing food?
Every food ingredient has its own nutrition and effect,
so it's cuisine prepared with herbal and food ingredients that improve
the patient's symptoms and fits their preferences.
Do you have any clinical outcome from your prescribed healing food?
Yes. Although you can't expect
a drastic effect like surgery or chemical medicine,
the effectiveness has been seen in the treatments.
Does that mean
eating your healing food can help as preventative medicine
without even coming to the hospital?
That's my goal and wish.
Dr. Geum-hee Hwang.
Do you realize that this hospital's top level management is interviewing you?
Yes, of course.
But your goal is to get patients healthy without hospital diagnosis and care?
That's your answer?
Are you courageous or stupid?
Okay, thank you for your brave and honest answer.
We'll contact you tomorrow.
Accepted?
Not accepted.
Accepted.
Not accepted.
Accepted...
Oh right, necklace.
Who is that clumsy guy anyway? Huh?
Geum-hee!
How was the interview? Did it go as practiced?
It's the very end that counts, right?
Right.
I answered with my belief and opinion and at first it was really good,
but in the end, I had a bad feeling.
With your belief...
Then don't worry.
Hey, I finish in about an hour. Let's go have dinner and drinks.
Dinner?
Well, I think I had to go...
Right, the blind date.
Hey, I can't do it today.
If I'm late to the date and get rejected, my mom's going to kill me.
I'd better get going.
Darn, that's today?
Gosh.
Looking that pretty and seeing another guy on a blind date.
I can't let her go like that.
Darn, I have a patient to see.
What a small world.
Gun-woo's ten-year crush was Geum-hee Hwang?
Dad.
I want to focus on being a doctor before going into management for now.
You're destined to take on a lot of responsibility.
Nothing will change by you pushing and dodging things now.
It'll be easier to just accept it as is now.
I thought you were against blind dates, but you're going to one now?
I'm going there now.
Isn't it easier to take Young-joo back than doing things you normally don't do?
Going on this blind date has nothing to do with Young-joo.
The elders and grandma seem to be worried, so I'm doing this to hurry up my marriage.
I'll head out now.
By the way, what do you think
about Dr. Geum-hee Hwang who talked about healing medicine
for preventative care during the interview?
Is she going to be hired?
What do you think?
I think she should be.
She has a strong belief and a challenging mindset, which I value.
I agree.
Remember,
I'll leave all management of the Eastern Medicine Hospital to you.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
-Could you find this man, please? -Yes, sure.
Why are there so many people who are on a blind date?
Is this man I'm going to see the love of my life, or not?
Let's see how my fortune goes today.
-Excuse me, please come this way. -Okay!
Is this man the love of my life?
Or not?
Is he?
Or not?
Is he the love of my life?
Ma'am, your seat is here.
Let me make this clear. I'm not afraid of acupuncture.
I just don't like it.
He said that he saw an old book similar to Yoogyeong Cuisine Book in China.
Excuse me?
Wait a little longer.
Time heals everything, right?
Father.
-Gosh. -Oh!
