(Episode 63)
Gosh, stay still.
We're already late. Do I really have to do this for you?
Yes. You should do this for me every day.
I dry your hair for you too.
Which is why we're going to be late.
At last, we can go to work together without any worries.
I'm a little nervous.
About what?
Now I need to run the marketing headquarters in earnest.
I have a huge responsibility.
Don't worry.
We're one team no matter what anyone says.
Both at home and at work.
Do you trust me?
Yes, I trust you, Director Han.
Yes, Director Kang Mi Ri.
Let's go to work now.
I forgot.
I'm meeting Mother this evening.
I see.
By the way, what happened to Ms. Jeon?
I'm not sure.
She's not taking my calls since yesterday.
Don't worry. It's not because of you.
Let's go.
I heard that you had a daughter...
before marrying into the Hansung family.
That daughter of yours...
Where is she?
Did you perhaps pocket something under that daughter's name?
Why can't you answer?
Where's that daughter of yours?
You came into this family for money.
Now you're leaving on your own, so there must be a reason.
I think you must have something to fall back on.
Don't you agree?
You wanted me to resign from this post.
So I'm resigning. What's the problem here?
All right. All right.
So, resign as you planned...
and never come back here.
I came here to tell you this.
That will never happen...
if you don't make any trouble.
If you ever try to come back,
I'll do whatever I can...
to reveal your rotten core and stop you from coming back.
Understand?
Goodness, Ms. Na. How are you?
Don't answer me. Just listen to me.
Find Jeon In Suk's daughter.
What?
It's enough if you understood.
Have a good day, Mr. Na.
All right, Ms. Na.
Mr. Park, it's her, right?
Right. Let's get inside.
Anyway, that woman,
I mean the chairman's wife. Why does she come here every day?
Even the chairman doesn't come to this company that often.
Why on earth does she come here so frequently?
That's what I'm saying.
I heard she's permanently back from the US.
So I guess it's true.
Now you come all the way up to this office to chat?
I want to work in this office.
I want to stay in this office.
Same here. I don't want to work with a boss who's a jerk,
like Na Do Jin.
So what can we do?
Are you going to reject the order of the company?
He's right. It's decided anyway.
Do we have any other choice but to bear with it?
Mr. Park, Ji Soo, hang in there.
Ms. Lee, you speak so easily as it's not your business.
You look so happy you were assigned to the overseas branch.
That's why I told you to study foreign languages...
- as Ms. Lee did, Mr. Park. - All right.
Han Tae Ju, Kang Mi Ri,
I'm the one who built a bridge between them.
How can they give me such trouble for the personnel change?
My effort to help the directors was all for nothing.
Gosh, he's saying he helped the directors succeed.
- Gosh, really. - Good morning.
- Hello. - Hello.
Why are you all here before you start work?
The meeting starts in 30 minutes.
I came to look around the new office.
I don't have time to listen to your complaints.
Since you're all here, let's start the meeting right away.
Get ready and gather round.
Goodness. She hasn't changed a bit even after marriage.
She didn't even apologize for not inviting us to the wedding.
Anyway, congratulations on your marriage, Director Han.
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
Thank you. I made it this far...
thanks to all your help.
I hope we can cooperate even more in the future.
Especially, the company has high expectations...
for the new marketing headquarter.
Just keep up the good work...
and it will be a great help.
Don't worry.
We'll sincerely do our best to help both of you.
Thank you.
I forgot.
I brought presents for you from our honeymoon.
Maybe Mr. Park doesn't want it.
No, I want it.
It's my bribe to ask for your help.
Anyway, let's work harder from now on.
Then we'll start the meeting in a bit.
- All right. - Yes. Thank you.
- Let's open it. - What could it be?
Mr. Park, just hold on.
- What is this? - Look at this.
What is it? What are you doing?
- Oh, my. - Oh, my.
You're here, Mr. Na.
How could you two already come up here...
and leave your boss behind?
That's not it. We waited for you, but you were a bit late.
And we didn't want to be late for the meeting.
Can't your supervisor be a little late?
Ms. Kang.
My niece-in-law.
Nice to see you.
Are you feeling a bit better now?
Also, you seem to be more at peace.
What can I do otherwise?
Pardon?
I mean what else can I do?
I'll just have to go on living.
You're right.
It's best to think that way. You can relax now.
I said I'd live.
I didn't say I'd relax.
I should stay on alert.
Don't say that.
I hope that Mi Hye will get married soon too.
Mi Hye.
Where have you been?
Why?
Don't you have to be at the publisher?
I sent in my manuscript early this morning.
That doesn't mean you don't have to be there.
I don't have to be there every day.
It's fine as long as I send my manuscript.
Mom, I'm taking today off. Leave me alone.
That brat is walking around, revealing all her legs.
Sun Ja, leave her alone.
Hey, let go of me.
My goodness.
What should I do with that brat?
Hey, we need to talk.
About what?
What do you think you are wearing right now?
What about my clothes?
You call those clothes?
Of course.
Do you really have something to say?
Why are you hitting me?
What's so wrong with my clothes?
I can almost see your underwear in shorts that short.
No, you can't.
Do you really want to drag your slippers...
around the neighborhood, with ice cream in your mouth?
Can't I even go out?
Who would think you're a writer?
You're just an unemployed good-for-nothing.
Bingo. I was unemployed until a few days ago.
I can't believe you.
What's the matter with you?
Now that Mi Ri got married,
am I the only one you can see?
Yes, you're the only one I can see.
And considering what you're doing right now,
I'd feel so much better once you get married.
I can't wait any longer. Why don't you just get married?
What's with you?
Do you want to clean the balcony too now that you cleaned the bathroom?
The balcony? The bathroom?
So you're a writer?
- You brat. - Stop.
Mom! Stop. Seriously!
You have feelings for Ms. Kang, don't you?
Do you like the writer who just stormed out?
What's bothering you so much?
Nothing.
As expected, Mi Hye didn't come today.
She sent her manuscript by e-mail this morning.
She must have been hurt a lot yesterday.
I heard roughly what Hee Jin told Mi Hye.
Hee Jin called me yesterday.
Please stop talking about Hee Jin.
She's very worried about you.
She was wondering why you're still alone.
She is already...
Stop.
I said, I don't want to hear anything more about her.
She's going back to the US this weekend.
She'll do the book design and send it to us.
Woo Jin, don't worry too much about Mi Hye.
It might actually be a good thing.
It might help her get over you...
and focus on writing.
Then you won't have to feel so burdened.
If you're so worried,
why don't you give Mi Hye a call?
You still value her as a writer.
Uncle.
Jae Bum. Come on in.
Is Mi Hye in?
Of course. She lives here.
What is it? Did something happen to her?
No, that's not it.
How is she feeling today?
She seemed fine. She bought ice cream...
and a bag full of chips and went into her room.
- Really? - Yes.
Mi Hye, that brat.
Ms. Park, hello.
Jae Bum, you're here.
Yes. I'll just go inside to see Mi Hye.
Okay. Go ahead.
Why is it always you who washes these?
The Japanese girls...
They only deal with officers.
Mi Hye, it's okay.
What do you mean?
I know it's funny for me to say this.
You must have been hurt and surprised a lot...
by Mr. Kim's ex-wife yesterday.
I wasn't.
- You weren't? - No, I wasn't.
You can be honest with me.
It makes me uncomfortable to ask you this,
but I'm so worried about you.
You don't have to worry about me.
Mi Hye.
This is not the first time I've been humiliated.
I've been humiliated way too many times.
I even got drunk, confessed my feelings to Mr. Kim,
totally making a scene, and got turned down.
Nothing could be more humiliating.
Nothing can hurt me anymore.
Are you over Mr. Kim now?
No.
I can't get over him overnight.
I'll just wait and see.
My heart will do what it wants,
and I'll do what I want.
I'll just go on like that.
After a while,
things will be better.
It's not like I loved him with all my heart.
Let me tell you again.
Jae Bum, get a hold of yourself.
Like me, okay?
Why aren't you saying anything?
I'll get over Woo Jin, and you'll get over me.
Okay?
This girl said you were her guardian. Are you?
No?
Well... Yes.
Young Dal.
Should Mi Hye...
marry Jae Bum?
What?
Does anyone have anything else to report?
- No. - No.
Like I said before, please pay more attention...
to the store display.
Ms. Park, please take care of the VMD.
Okay.
What's VMT?
Well, VMD means...
It's a person who displays products according to the brand concept...
and decorates the stores.
Did you even understand what today's meeting was about?
Of course. What do you take me for?
If you have more questions regarding your work,
please ask Mr. Park like you just did.
Mr. Park, please explain well to him.
Sure.
The meeting is over. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Mr. Park. This.
Put it on my desk.
Okay.
I want to have another cup of tea with Director Han.
Can you make some of the jasmine tea I drink when I'm in a bad mood?
Okay.
It was a nice meeting.
Well then,
you can all go back to work now.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We're at work.
Please act accordingly.
Doesn't our family run the company?
Then being at work is the same as being at home.
We didn't put you in that position expecting results,
but if you act as if...
you're determined to ruin the organization,
I won't sit back and let that happen.
Forget about it.
I'm your uncle too,
so why treat me so differently?
All I get...
is threats that I'll lose my job.
But someone else gets all the money...
and support he needs to solve whatever problem.
Hansung Construction's general manager Jeon In Ho?
He caused a mess and you covered it up.
You filled in all the money he lost.
Where did you get that much money?
Did Ms. Jeon ask for help?
She didn't.
Too bad, though. I heard that this time,
money won't solve it.
I know that.
Is that why Ms. Jeon wants to leave...
with her tail between her legs?
Because she doesn't want to take the blame.
I plan to tell Ms. Jeon...
when everything is sorted out.
Please keep it a secret.
Well,
if that's what the director wants,
a lowly general manager must obey.
But if it's not that, why does she want to quit?
Is it really menopause?
At her old age?
(CEO, Jeon In Suk)
I came to get your signature.
Take a seat.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E63 'Mother of Mine' "Life Begins Anew" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Did you enjoy your honeymoon?
Yes.
Then...
you must have heard.
You resigned so suddenly.
What are you thinking?
Why?
Are you surprised?
You wanted to keep that position so badly.
You fought so hard to stay there,
so I don't get why you're stepping down now.
Then...
shall we live together?
Shall you and I live together?
Despite how spiteful I may be,
I can't do that.
That's why I'm leaving.
You won.
They say parents always give in.
That seems to be true.
I'm not here to listen to sarcastic remarks.
I'm not being sarcastic. I'm being honest.
You won.
So I'm leaving to find a way to live my life.
You should do the same in that house.
Don't underestimate Na Hye Mi.
She may look brainless but she's not.
She's a talented schemer.
Don't try to beat her.
Let her have her way if you can, okay?
I still don't get why you made Na Do Jin...
General Manager of Marketing.
That's why you can only get so far.
Do you really not get it?
We had to give him a position.
There's no way Na Hye Mi...
wouldn't try to get her brother a job,
but if we let him be,
he'll just cause us problems.
When you were away for a short while,
he did just that. Don't you remember?
If we must give him a position,
and if he's bound to cause problems anyway,
wouldn't it be best to keep him beneath you and Tae Ju...
so you can control him?
An enemy must be kept closest for better management.
If they're too far away, you don't know what they're up to.
He poses the biggest risk to you both,
so I made him your subordinate.
Watch him closely.
Take it.
At the wedding.
You were very beautiful.
I wanted to say that.
Now leave.
(Shinhyup Bank)
Hey. Shall I buy you a drink afterwards?
Why? Is something wrong?
It's not me.
You've been looking depressed lately.
Why are you so down when only good things...
have been happening?
What kind of good things?
Your husband grew up and is helping out at home,
your younger sister married into a great family,
and you have a great babysitter.
My husband hasn't grown up. He's just pretending to have.
My sister married into a scary family,
not a great one,
and Da Bin...
I guess only my daughter is going down the right path.
See?
Aren't kids the one thing you can't control?
But your kid's doing fine. Isn't that great?
Will you loosen up?
Smile. Like this.
You look so pretty.
Ms. Kang!
- Ms. Lee. - Sorry to interrupt your day.
Here you go.
Close this account for me.
Is something wrong?
The thing is, my daughter...
She is studying abroad right now.
She was in a car accident.
What? Was she badly hurt?
I don't know, the call was too abrupt.
Because she's abroad,
her insurance doesn't cover anything,
so I have to send money to settle the case.
- What? - Close this account for me.
Try to calm down, Ms. Lee.
Before you withdraw, call your daughter first.
The accident must've been serious.
Her phone's not working.
Then what number was the call from?
I don't recognize the number,
but I was told to call back only on this one.
Ms. Lee, do you know...
the number of any of your daughter's friends?
Her friends?
Yes.
Stay calm and...
try calling all the people you can think of.
Okay then.
Go ahead.
- Who is there? - Think carefully.
That's right.
Hello.
Hi, I'm Chae Hee's mom.
Do you know if Chae Hee...
What? You're with her?
Can you put her on the phone?
Chae Hee.
Why do you sound so weird?
Is everything okay?
Yes, you're okay?
What? Oh, no, no.
It's okay as long as you're fine.
Okay. It's really fine.
Yes. Bye.
(Shinhyup Bank)
How stupid of me.
How did he know...
my daughter is abroad?
This happens a lot.
Voice phishing scams have evolved,
and not just the old but younger people fall for it too.
So from now on, check with someone first.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
It's fine.
If something similar happens again, talk to me first.
- I will. - I'm glad there was no accident.
Thank you. You saved me.
Da Bin will be home soon. I should go.
Take your time and get back safely.
- Okay. - See you later.
Thank you.
Take care.
Give Ms. Kang a round of applause for preventing phone fraud.
My goodness.
Great job, Ms. Kang.
Oh, come on.
Ms. Kang. You just caught a scam call, right?
That was really amazing.
I got so flustered too.
Those phishing scammers...
should all be sent to jail.
You did an excellent job.
My goodness. Stop it already.
It was nothing. Don't make a fuss about it.
You not only kept her money,
- but you also saved yourself too. - What?
Imagine if anything bad happened in her family.
How would things go?
You would lose a great babysitter.
- You're right. - Of course.
I saved my own life too.
Yes, you did.
So you should be grateful that only nice things happen to you.
Could you please smile now?
All right, I will.
Gosh, what was that?
- Like this? - There you go.
You have to tell me now.
Tell you what?
Where do you go to these days?
I don't go anywhere. Why?
You don't go anywhere?
You leave and come back at consistent times every day.
My goodness.
As long as I don't commit crimes, I can go anywhere I want.
Why do you care and want to know?
What did you say?
My goodness. I don't get you.
You have never been interested in me.
Now you are asking where I have been. My gosh.
Spill it. Where are you going?
Are you going to that pharmacy again?
That pharmacy, my foot.
Let go of me.
I'm not going to that pharmacy.
I quit going there.
I don't rely on anyone now.
I'll live a happy life on my own.
You should know that.
I'm going out now.
You should spend a nice day on your own too.
- Goodness. - I have to go now.
This is unbelievable. Honey.
Honey!
Honey, my foot.
She was never interested in her husband.
Why is she so obsessed with me these days?
Does she think I'm her playmate or something?
Wait a second.
I don't look like a taxi driver.
I look like a pilot here.
Wait a second.
I can't look like a pilot.
Hello. Where to?
Okay. Just as you say.
Let's go.
Sir, is this taxi available?
Yes, of course. Where to?
- To Yeouido. - All right.
- You can sit in the back. - Okay.
- Here. - Thank you.
Where should I drop you in Yeouido?
You can drop me in front of the National Assembly building.
- National Assembly? - Yes.
Do you work there?
No, I don't.
I have an important first meeting at the building in front of it.
- You'll have the first meeting? - Yes.
Life is all about...
first meetings and farewells.
It's my honor to drive you to your first meeting.
I'll get you there safely.
You're a humorous man.
What did you do when you were younger?
- Me? - Yes.
I was a writer.
I was a bit of a detective too.
I was in those fields.
I guess that's why I get talkative these days.
I can tell that you're an extraordinary man.
Aren't you hot at the back?
It's a bit hot.
The air conditioner isn't working well.
These punks, they sent me this car without fixing this.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
Here you go. Have this too.
You won't have time to eat if it gets busy later.
You should eat with us too.
I'll have it at home.
Mi Hye and Jae Bum are home.
I should go and check on them.
I should make them a meal too.
Why don't you tell them to eat here with us?
It's too burdensome for you.
It's none of your business. You should finish your meals.
My goodness.
She was so angry at Mi Hye in the morning.
Gosh.
Is that guy here again?
That guy?
You know that obsessive man.
That man named Jae Bum or something.
You know he has been to our house several times.
And he's not an obsessive man.
Sun Ja likes him a lot.
So is he going to marry Mi Hye?
That's the issue.
It looks like Jae Bum is Sun Ja's son-in law.
But he's not Mi Hye's husband.
He is my nephew-in-law.
But he's not Mi Hye's husband.
He surely is the brother-in-law of Mi Sun and Mi Ri.
But he's not Mi Hye's match.
What's this confusing and mysterious feeling?
What?
Jae Bum! What are you doing?
You're home.
What are you doing here wearing that apron?
Where's Mi Hye?
I was just mopping because the living room was a bit dirty.
Mi Hye has been watching movies and eating snacks all day.
She just left for the bathhouse.
How about you?
It's not like I can go to the bathhouse with her.
I should wait for her.
So while I was waiting, I was cleaning the house.
I prepared this so we can eat dinner when she's back.
But I think she is running late.
Do you want to eat this first?
By the way, all you need to do is heat the stew.
Help yourself.
Your spoon and chopsticks are there.
What? All right. They're here. Let's eat now.
You should eat first.
Should I?
Hey,
Jae Bum.
Yes?
Do your parents know...
that you're doing all this stuff?
What kind of stuff?
You're trailing after Mi Hye all the time.
You clean my house and help me at the restaurant.
Do your parents know about that?
Of course, Ms. Park. It has been nine years.
My goodness.
They do?
All right, then.
Is your father's hospital doing well?
Of course. He recently hired three full-time doctors.
He did?
There are many patients at his hospital these days.
So there are more surgeries. He needed more doctors.
Oh, I see.
I totally forgot.
Forgot what?
I forgot that you're a son of a famous doctor in Gangnam.
But you are the owner of this ox-bone soup restaurant.
You're so humble too.
Jae Bum, listen.
You're a screenwriter for TV shows.
How much do you get paid for each series?
You get paid a lot, right?
Well...
Per episode, I get paid about what a salaryman makes per year.
What salarymen make per year?
But I have to pay a lot of taxes.
It's not a stable job.
So I don't earn that much.
But I saved up a lot because I don't need to spend much.
You did? That's a relief.
What? A relief?
Jae Bum.
Yes, Ms. Park.
What do you think about Mi Hye?
What do you mean by that?
You've been close to her for nine years.
Is Mi Hye good wife material?
What's wrong with you?
Ms. Park.
Mi Hye doesn't think of me that way.
What?
I follow her around,
but she doesn't think of me as a guy.
What?
If she doesn't think of you as a guy,
then who does she think of as a guy?
(Episode 64 will air shortly.)
(Episode 64)
What's there to life? I'll just eat as much as I want.
It's delicious.
You're not answering my calls. Where have you been?
(Missed calls)
I'm sorry.
I was at the bathhouse and put my phone on vibrate.
By the way, what brings you here?
Have you had dinner yet?
I'm having dinner. I mean this one.
You really like that.
Anyway, what brings you here?
You look fine, different from what I thought.
What?
Actually,
I came here because I was worried about what happened yesterday.
I apologize on behalf of her.
I'm sorry.
No. Don't apologize for her.
I'll get an apology directly from that lady.
It's my business, not yours.
You don't have to bother.
Besides, I wouldn't crack from a bit of talk behind my back.
That was nothing.
All right.
As you're thinking that way,
I feel much relieved.
Then I'll get going now.
I've read the manuscript.
It was good.
Then I'll see you later.
By the way, Mr. Kim.
Have you had dinner?
Have you ever seen me eat dinner?
Then...
would you like to eat this?
Oh gosh.
I must be crazy. I'm crazy.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't going to cross the line.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I must be really crazy.
I'm doomed.
Mom!
Da Bin. How have you been?
I'm late today. I'm sorry.
My work finished late today. I'm sorry.
It's all right. That can happen.
You sound so sweet. That's my girl.
Where's Ms. Lee?
Ms. Lee left.
What are you doing?
Ms. Lee went through the green mountain...
and walked the narrow path toward the maple woods.
She went home.
What on earth are you doing now?
I got bored waiting for you,
so I made a parody...
of Han Yong Un's poem, "The Silence of My Love"...
to how Ms. Lee went home.
I heard Ms. Lee almost got into big trouble.
I heard she almost lost a lot of money to voice phishing.
So I comforted her a lot.
And I also gave her consultation on bank business as an expert.
Come on, Mr. Jung Jin Soo.
You should respond when your husband is being cute.
Mi Sun, you're not romantic at all.
Do you think I can be romantic with you now?
Why didn't you go to anyone's first-birthday party?
I guess no one had a funeral today either?
I guess there's no first-birthdays due to the low birth rate.
And I promised no one close to me would lose a father from now on.
What's with that apron and headscarf?
I've decided to actively help you.
I, Jung Jin Soo, decided it.
So I washed dishes a while ago.
I had dinner with Da Bin, and I washed the dishes, not Da Bin.
Isn't that true, Da Bin?
Yes, right.
Why? Why did you do that?
Why else?
So you'd return my bicycle to me.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
All right. Seeing as you're wearing the apron,
you can do the laundry...
and clean the bathroom. Do you understand?
Yes, I understand. Of course, I'll do so.
Sure. I'll do my best. I can do it! I'll make it shine.
Clean it perfectly.
Yes, ma'am.
Honey!
I'll do my best.
I love you.
- Mom. - Da Bin. What's the matter?
Why isn't Auntie Mi Ri calling me?
Did you call Auntie Mi Ri, Da Bin?
- Yes. - When did you do that?
On the night she got married, I called her using your cell phone.
You did.
I told her congratulations.
As she was so busy on her wedding day,
I didn't have time to talk to her.
Right. You did a good thing, Da Bin.
What a sweet girl. You're so nice.
But why isn't she calling me back?
She promised that she'd come to see me...
when she returns from her honeymoon.
I miss Auntie Mi Ri.
Da Bin.
Listen to me carefully.
From now on, Auntie Mi Ri might not be able to visit you often.
Why?
Auntie Mi Ri...
will get busier from now on.
And...
Anyway, she can't visit you often now.
Then did you make up with Auntie Mi Ri?
- Did I make up with her? - Yes.
No.
Not yet.
Goodness.
I'm back.
Hi. Where's Tae Ju?
He has an appointment this evening.
He went to see Ms. Jeon, didn't he?
I knew it.
Would you like to have some tea with me?
How have you been keeping Ms. Jeon under control?
Pardon?
I heard you had her under your thumb.
What's your secret?
I thought...
she has nothing to do with this family anymore.
Why are you asking that?
You're more innocent than I thought.
Do you think she really left empty-handed?
She either already pocketed something...
or is only putting on a show for when she comes back.
She has many family members to feed.
"Family members"?
Oh, my.
You really went at the great Jeon In Suk...
without knowing anything?
That's very brave.
The conflict between us...
only had to do with business.
Well...
It's hard to believe,
but I'll let it pass.
I doubt you're already lying to your mother-in-law.
In any case,
I'll find something on her.
She's leaving anyway.
Is that necessary?
Mi Ri.
Let me give you a tip.
In this family,
we don't say we "live".
We say we "survive".
But the thing is, everyone in this family is so competent.
That's why you can't survive...
just because you're competent.
Someone else has to fail.
Someone else has to slip and fall into a pit for you to survive.
That's why you have to find others' weaknesses.
You have to always hold your cards in your hands.
If I don't become mean and play dirty,
my family will starve to death.
I couldn't say that my family is prestigious,
but we're not nearly as miserable as Ms. Jeon's family.
They're just a bunch of losers.
Your family doesn't seem so bad so far.
Still, you can't relax.
Who knows if they might suddenly change?
When things go well for one of the siblings,
the others tend to live off that person.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E64 'Mother of Mine' "Relationships Never Go According to Plan" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Why on earth do you want to leave the company?
Didn't I already tell you?
I need some rest.
That doesn't make sense.
You want some rest?
As far as I know, you're a workaholic.
You're more addicted to work than any man.
Even when I offered you a vacation,
you came back to work earlier...
and meddled with the company matters, my work,
and Tae Ju's work.
What is it? Did you find a man who wants to marry you?
- Mr. Chairman. - Did he say...
you don't have to work for a jerk like me anymore...
and can live a comfortable life if you marry him?
Is that...
what you think of me?
Why are you so upset?
You're exhausting me.
It's true...
I started working here when I got married.
But ever since then,
I've done my absolute best...
both at work and home.
That's exactly why I'm doing this.
But I want to rest now.
Can't I rest when I want to?
So take a break. Don't quit the company.
Take a month off or something if you're so tired.
No.
What?
How long do I have to live as a slave of this family?
Look, Ms. Jeon.
I've always been at your beck and call.
From the company business to the house chores...
I've looked after you and let you vent your anger on me.
What? Vent my anger on you?
Yes.
Whenever you were angry about something,
you had me sit down...
and vented your anger on me for hours on end.
So?
I don't want to do that anymore.
I don't want to have anything to do with this family anymore.
What did you just say?
How dare you?
Mr. Chairman.
Do you even realize how old I am now?
Why do I have to know how old you are?
I can hardly keep track of my own age.
Anyway, I'm quitting.
- You can't. - Mr. Chairman.
How dare you raise your voice?
I said no. You can't.
Ms. Jeon, are you already going senile?
Is that it?
Tae Ju will be the chairman soon.
Are you really okay if all your efforts go to waste?
You wanted Tae Ju to be the chairman...
so you can reap your benefits.
Isn't that why you've been putting up with everything so far?
None of that matters to me anymore.
What?
You have Ms. Kang now.
I'm sure she'll support Tae Ju well.
I can't believe you.
Fine.
Remember just one thing.
If you leave this company,
it'll be the end of your family.
I'll never let them get away with anything again.
Do you understand?
(Sunyang Galbi)
Hi.
You're here.
Where is In Ho?
Uncle.
Things are more serious than you think.
I thought everything was taken care of.
The debts have been paid,
but the subcontractors are still being investigated.
And they're questioning the money...
you received from them.
I know what I did was wrong.
But you know how the situation was.
My older brother got in trouble,
and all I could think of was how to deal with that.
Didn't I ask you...
to tell me first when that kind of thing happens?
That would have been shameless of me.
I'm doing my best to keep it out of the news,
but the chairman...
In Suk.
You idiot.
What did you do?
- In Suk. - You little...
Why do you keep getting in trouble?
Just die already. Die!
Mother! Mother!
Mother.
Why are you here...
No way.
In Suk, don't say anything to him.
I asked him for a favor.
Mother.
In Suk.
Get out.
Get out!
What happened?
I thought...
In Ho found the subcontractors who had run away...
and that's how he paid the overdue bills.
Please don't tell me...
he borrowed money from you again.
He had no choice.
I told you not to lend him any more money.
It was urgent.
I had no choice.
Tae Ju.
You're...
not my biological son.
They're not your family.
They're leeches.
They want to live off you.
Please don't say that.
I consider them my family.
Also,
I offered him help.
He didn't ask me to help him.
I only helped him for me to feel better.
You don't have to say things...
that only hurt yourself.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want you to find out.
I'll do what I can...
to pay you back.
You don't have to do that.
How bad...
did things get?
I can no longer deal with it on my own.
Na Do Jin brought it up today,
so I think...
Father will find out soon.
Mother.
Honey. If she wants to leave, just let her.
I don't get why you're so obsessed with her.
Obsessed?
Does it really look that way?
Yes, it does.
One day, you yell at her as if you'll fire her right away,
but then today,
you practically begged her to stay.
Honey. Why don't you just let her go?
She has no connections with this family anymore.
Her husband's dead,
and did they have any children?
They didn't.
Besides, I really hate living under the same roof as her.
I just don't get what she is.
I don't like the way...
she controls the household.
You don't know anything, so keep quiet.
Honey.
Will you do it then?
Not only is there the company,
but there are so many family events...
to organize each year.
Will you do all that?
Why can't I?
We have a daughter-in-law now.
Why worry when we have Mi Ri who's even smarter than In Suk?
Why not just give In Suk some money...
and let her leave when she wants to?
Oh, right.
When In Suk joined this family,
she abandoned a young daughter.
Where is she now?
She did have a daughter.
But why are you asking about her?
Just because. Out of curiosity.
You're back.
Sorry I'm late. Did you wait for long?
No, it's okay. Are you tired?
I'm sad that you said it's okay.
You're not tired enough.
I was dead tired a moment ago,
but seeing you made me feel better.
Did you and Ms. Jeon... I mean...
Did you and Mother talk things out?
Kind of. It's quite complicated.
Does it have something to do with...
what you and Mr. Na talked about in private?
The truth is,
I once helped out my uncle.
Your uncle? Mr. Na?
No. He's not my uncle.
There's a general manager called Jeon In Ho at Hansung Construction.
He's my mother's younger brother.
The business in Malaysia...
that he was in charge of ran into a problem.
I managed to sort out the financial issues,
but things got messed up and now it's complicated.
So...
I don't think it'll end quietly.
I see.
Has this happened often before?
My uncle's a good person.
But business...
doesn't leave good people alone.
They become prey.
Mother only gets upset when she finds out,
so I tried to sort things out myself.
But this incident...
got too big and I can't keep it a secret anymore.
I want Uncle to get help,
but Mother always tries to solve her family problems herself.
I'm so worried how she'll react this time.
Right.
I'm tired. I'll go and shower.
I'll hug you afterwards, so wait.
Here.
Cut them out properly.
Okay. I'm doing my best.
You said you'd watch Da Bin today.
I will look after her, okay?
I can't imagine how someone...
who used to stay out all weekend will manage at home.
How many times must I tell you?
I'll become a new person.
We'll see how long this lasts.
Kang Mi Sun.
Mom's been sick since Mi Ri's wedding...
and I haven't been able to visit her.
I'm going to have lunch and dinner with her today.
Fend for yourself.
Okay. Have fun.
Dad, will you really play with me today?
Yes. Yes, yes, Da Bin.
I'll play with you all day.
Kiss.
Good. Here too.
- Good girl. - My goodness.
- Let's play all day. - Who's that?
Who is it?
Ms. Lee.
Why are you here on your day-off?
What?
I'm sorry, Ms. Kang.
I didn't want to go.
My husband's been planning...
on moving to Singapore for six months...
because our youngest daughter is there.
The recent voice phishing thing...
got us scared,
and he doesn't want our daughter to be on her own.
He asked me to move to Singapore with him.
I see.
I'm really sorry.
I'd gotten so close with Da Bin.
When do you leave then?
Well...
My husband had been preparing for the move.
He wants to leave as soon as I can quit working.
I see.
I'm so very sorry.
I must've eaten too much yesterday.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, I am.
Where?
I'm going to the hospital.
Hospital? I thought you weren't going to the hospital.
Well, I'm going there today.
Why are you dressed up in hanbok?
What's with that beaded handbag?
That's because...
I'm going to Jae Bum's father's hospital.
Why are you going there?
I want to go discuss your marriage.
I'll be back.
Mom, no. You can't go.
Are you crazy? You can't go.
Let go of me.
What? You don't think of Jae Bum as a guy?
You can't turn your back on a man who's been with you for nine years.
My goodness! Mom, you can't go!
Let go of me.
I like another guy.
What did you say?
Mi Ri.
Yes. Did you call me?
Yes, take this to your father-in-law.
You should do your duty as a daughter-in-law on weekends.
All right.
Where is Tae Ju?
He's still asleep.
Take it to him now. And if he asks for me,
tell him that I have an interview with Tae Ho's horse-riding teacher.
Okay.
Mi Ri.
Why aren't you calling me "Mother"?
You can be excused for now. Take your time to get used to it.
Don't forget. I'm trying to get along with you.
Okay?
Mr. Chairman.
What?
He not only caused trouble in Malaysia,
but also received bribes?
Mr. Chairman.
Have mercy on him.
I'll have him thrown in jail right away.
Mr. Chairman.
We're not doing charity work here.
I'm not going to have mercy on that criminal.
I'll throw him in jail!
He'll eat prison food and die there.
Mr. Chairman.
Please.
Please have mercy on him.
He's not a bad man.
He's not a man who's after somebody else's money.
He did part-time jobs since college...
to support his brother who has been a fool all his life.
He took care of his nephews to replace their father.
Then? So what?
His brother must have done something wrong.
And his restaurant almost went bankrupt.
So he must've been trying to find a way on his own...
because his whole family was facing getting kicked out onto the street.
Mr. Chairman.
Please have mercy on him...
just this once.
No!
How many times have your family members caused trouble?
Not this time.
I'll deal with him according to the law.
Hand this case to the legal department.
Mr. Chairman. Please!
Please have mercy.
He got divorced three years ago.
He doesn't even have the custody of his child.
If he goes to jail because of this,
he won't even get to visit his child anymore.
My brother will be hopeless then.
He's only alive...
because he gets to see his kid twice a month.
He's working because of his kid.
He can't go to jail when he's over 40.
My brother will be a hopeless man.
So please...
Mr. Chairman. Please have mercy.
Please have mercy.
(Mother of Mine)
Han Tae Ju, you're pathetic.
I'm not that careless.
Keep an eye on him. Do you understand?
Kim Woo Jin likes you.
But I still love Mi Hye.
Goodness. Jae Bum.
We have a date.
- Goodness. - You see her at work and at home.
That's just too much.
Jin Soo will take his days off to look after Da Bin.
You are babysitting me?
- That idiot? - My father, the King.
I need to know what he's doing.
Aren't you...
Do I have family members that I don't know about?
Could you please pretend like you don't know this?
What does her daughter do?
I have to find the real daughter.
