(Han Cheon Ox-bone Soup)

Will you keep this matter to yourself?

Since it's late, take my car with you.

Ms. Kang.

Ms. Kang.

Ms. Kang.

Mother.

Please don't hate Ms. Kang too much.

Why must I hear her name...

in my own house?

Ms. Kang is...

a nice person if you get to know her.

Are you taking her side in my presence?

No, that's not it.

I'm planning to fire her during the next reshuffle.

Eat breakfast before you go.

No, I'm running late. I'll call you later.

Ms. Kang.

You didn't have to come to pick me up.

I was worried.

I'm not a child. Why would you worry about me?

But you cried like a child.

Good morning.

Mi Ri left without having breakfast.

She hurried away in case I'd ask her anything.

There must be something between her and that man.

Don't you think so?

I wish there is something.

I want to marry Mi Ri off...

and Mi Hye too within this year.

But Mi Hye seems...

to be after this restaurant.

What are you talking about?

She needs persistence before having such a plan.

She can't see the end of anything.

When is Min Ho coming?

It's around time he arrives.

Isn't he nice?

Yes, he's diligent.

I heard that he's a college student.

He works here all day long,

so when does he study?

He's on a leave of absence.

Really?

It's almost impossible for college students to pay...

for their tuition without working part-time...

unless they're from a rich family these days.

Gosh. College tuitions are no joke.

It's too bad that it costs...

a huge amount of money for young people to study.

This world has got to let them study at ease.

Goodness.

Some people are putting all their might...

while one of my girls...

Where are you going?

Somewhere.

Where?

What do you mean where? The publishing company.

Didn't you say you were on vacation?

Well, it's over.

You're wasting your time...

without being able to do anything persistently.

It's not true.

It is.

I'm sure you were either annoyed...

or offended while writing again.

Don't scold her first thing in the morning.

You're bound to change ways in life.

I mean, no flower blooms without faltering.

She's not a flower. Not even a pumpkin flower.

If you're doing it, do it properly.

Or give up on it...

and learn how to run the store from me.

Goodness. I'm off.

Off or whatever.

Gosh.

(Han Cheon Ox-bone Soup)

What are you doing?

Do it.

What?

It's all yours, so good luck.

Aren't you going upstairs?

Don't you have a lot of manuscripts to read today?

I'm reading the newspaper.

You've been reading that page forever though.

Why do you keep provoking me?

What about you? What's keeping you here?

Are you waiting for someone?

I'm going up.

Do you think Mi Hye will come?

I don't care.

After all I did to persuade her,

she'll come if she's humane.

Even if she doesn't, it won't be any loss for me.

It's almost time for the part-timer interview.

Are you hiring a new part-timer?

In case Mi Hye doesn't show up.

You...

The part-timer is here.

Hello.

I ran into the coffee bean truck on my way here.

You didn't have to drag it all the way here.

Give it to me. I'll take care of it.

It's good to have you back.

I hope we get along.

I'm sorry.

I can't trust you.

Consider it your writing room.

Do you want me to write next to you?

I told you.

I can't trust you yet.

You don't have to work at the cafe.

Instead, proofread the manuscripts...

I give you in the morning.

And write your piece in the afternoon.

Have it checked every time you leave work.

"Have it checked"?

What? You don't like it?

I'm not a child. I don't need your check.

Are you not a child?

You've wasted the last nine years...

because no one was there to check.

Do you have to be this mean?

Well, try to get used to the way I talk.

I may be even harsher than this...

when I read your manuscripts.

It's up to you whether you cry over my comments,

but you cannot run away anymore.

I've made some conditions...

so that you compensate if you run away again.

Here. It's the writing contract,

which you wanted desperately.

Read it carefully, and sign on it.

Proofread this manuscript too.

I'll come back in the evening.

You still have your last chance left,

so run away now if you want to.

Should I give you a ride to your house?

No, thanks. I won't run away anymore.

Why are you staring at me like that?

You better not write a horrible piece.

"If the manuscript is selected..."

"30,000 dollars"?

"If the contract is canceled..."

"or the contractee runs away again..."

"100,000 dollars"?

(Dol Dam Gil Publishing and Bookstore)

(Dol Dam Gil Publishing and Bookstore)

I can't be satisfied with these petty chores.

There you go again.

Let's be honest with it. We did everything,

and the Planning Team took all the credit.

I was eager to join the Hansung Championship.

That's enough.

No one here is happy about it.

Snap out of it and focus on your work.

The Foundation Day event is important too.

It's going to draw attention from outside...

just by the fact that we have the new CEO.

In that sense, I think it's our golden chance.

Don't you agree?

Even so...

I agree, Ms. Park.

Mr. Park. Can you hand this...

to the Planning Team and the CEO's Office?

"The Planning Team and the CEO's Office?"

- No. - I'll go.

All right.

Please take care of it, Tae Ju.

No problem.

Goodness.

Why did they send you here?

Because it's a simple delivery task.

I see.

Have a seat for a second.

Okay.

Do you want a cup of tea?

No, thank you.

The secretaries might think it's suspicious.

Do you think so?

So... Mother.

What? Is something wrong?

Why do you treat Ms. Kang the way you do?

Last night,

I happened to be outside of your place.

You were with Ms. Kang?

Yes. I was with her.

Why?

Why were you with her at that time?

That's not important.

Why do you make her run...

your personal errands?

That's what I want to know.

Ms. Kang is my boss.

We work outside the office together...

and stay up at night.

Is that why you got to work with her?

Did you two spend the night together?

Mother.

When you said you'd hide your identity...

and take the entrance exam,

the chairman and I didn't approve willingly.

If this were how to get you into the company,

we thought it would be worth a shot.

- I know that. - But...

we expected there would be side-effects for sure.

"Side-effects"?

I'm talking about situations like this.

You hang out with people below your level,

dream about loyalty...

and romance, and forget who you are.

That's not what I meant when I asked.

Recently, you don't seem to be the person...

I used to know.

That's why I asked.

Son.

I never treated you differently until now.

When you first learned French.

When you decided to pick up horseback riding.

And when you went abroad to study.

My standards and rules were always the same.

Kang Mi Ri is just a tutor to you.

A tutor I must entrust my son to.

And I don't like her.

Why is that?

Ms. Kang is a very nice person.

She loves the company and is good at her job.

Are you...

worried for her?

I'm saying she's someone you shouldn't lose.

Perhaps, when the chairman disapproved,

I should have agreed with him.

I thought you'd be wise enough...

to deal with situations like this.

That's why I persuaded him.

But today I see...

I was mistaken.

- Mother. - You can leave.

I have a meeting to attend.

[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E23 'Mother of Mine' "Mi Hye Signing a Writing Contract" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Tae Ju's back. Hey, join us quick.

- Come here. - Hurry up.

What's going on?

Ms. Kang will buy us lunch...

to cheer us up.

Let's go and have meat.

- Let's go. - Okay, let's go.

Join us, Tae Ju.

- Come along. - Okay.

They have ox-bone soup and other things too.

Everything here is good.

It's like a get-together.

- Eat up, Ms. Kang. - You too.

I haven't had ox-bone soup in while.

Really? I had some just yesterday.

Should we have gone somewhere else?

No. I love ox-bone soup.

- Enjoy your meal. - It's delicious.

- Really... - Who ordered the latte?

- Me. - Here.

Thank you.

My insides hurt.

- Iced Americano. - Me.

- Here. - Thank you.

- And then... - That's mine.

- Can I have the receipt? - Just a moment.

- I'll takeout the rest. - Okay.

- Please wait. - Sure.

Hey, did you hear the rumor?

Ms. Kang, Mr. Kim, have you heard?

About what?

That our chairman's only son...

joined the company as a newbie this year.

- Really? - Really?

There's always someone who starts such rumors.

Come on, Ms. Lee.

There's no smoke without fire.

Around this time last year,

the Management Support Team's Mr. Kang...

and the Design Team's Ms. Cha.

Don't you remember that ridiculous scandal?

You have a point.

They said they'd sue everyone...

for slander for saying about their scandal.

But they got married in the winter.

Right. She was five months pregnant.

But why?

Why would the chairman's son join as a newbie?

He could just be appointed.

The chairman must have great intentions.

Company owners are crafty like that.

Anyway, it's just a rumor, but just in case...

Who on earth could be the chairman's son?

I did some research.

First, it has to be a Mr. Han.

Management Support Team's Han Sang Jin.

Planning Team's Han Joon Soo.

Overseas Development Team's Han Min Chul.

And then... My goodness.

Marketing Team's newbie Han Tae Ju.

It couldn't be him.

Why not?

What's wrong with Tae Ju?

Are you belittling him, Mi Rae?

Just look at him.

Yes, I got nine stamps.

Just one more and I get a free americano.

You're right. It's not him.

- There's no way it's him. - It can't be him.

What should we do with him?

- No. - No what?

You're right.

Ms. Kang.

Your credit card and receipt.

Thanks.

Here.

This is...

A gift to thank you for picking me up today.

- Hello. - Hello.

Come on out, Da Bin.

You. How dare you...

stick your tongue out at an adult?

Why weren't you on the bus this morning?

I was waiting to scold you.

Oh, I get it.

You slept in and got your dad to drop you off.

You're so rude to grown-ups.

That's why you sleep in.

Will you stick out your tongue again?

Will you or not?

- Grandma. - Sorry.

- Grandma. - Okay, okay.

Don't do it again.

That jerk.

Go on inside.

What are kids taught these days?

My goodness.

How dare a little boy...

stick out his tongue at an adult?

Da Bin.

You should be polite to adults.

Okay?

- Yes. - Good.

Put your bag down and wash your hands.

On the way back, bring a book to read.

Okay.

"So the sly tailors..."

"went to visit the king."

- Grandma. - What is it?

What does "sly" mean?

- "Sly"? - Yes.

Oh, it means...

The word "sly" means...

Well...

That's it.

It means you're black inside.

You're black inside?

Yes.

Your insides are black. Very dark and black.

Dark and black like your grandpa.

Your grandpa pretends he doesn't,

but he gets these ideas and makes plans.

That's the kind of person you call sly.

Then does Grandpa have a black heart?

Yes.

Your grandpa has a black heart.

I see.

"The extravagant king..."

"got very interested in the tailors' offer."

Grandma, I know "extravagant".

- You do? - Yes.

Gosh. Da Bin's so smart.

What is "extravagant"?

It's to be like Grandma.

What? Grandma? Me?

Yes.

The economy's bad...

but I wish every day were like today.

- We sold 100 bowls today. - I know.

- Your phone's ringing. - Okay.

Hello?

Ms. Park, it's me.

Hello.

Have you been doing well?

- Yes, Ms. Ha. - Is it Ms. Ha?

What made you call me?

The thing is...

You know I'm looking after Da Bin now, right?

Yes. Mi Sun said that to her uncle.

Then how could you not call me even once?

What?

If you knew I was taking care of Da Bin,

you should've given me a call...

and thanked me for doing that.

Then it would've cheered me up a little.

And our children would've liked to see that.

Look who's talking.

Did you ever thank me...

when I looked after Da Bin?

When Mi Sun gave birth to Da Bin,

you just came back from the trip to South America.

You don't remember that?

When Mi Sun got a swollen face after her delivery,

you only told her about some Galapagos tortoise.

You said the tortoise there was really old.

That's when I started taking care of Da Bin.

And did you ever...

thank me for what I did?

My gosh.

Why would you always think awry of everything?

I don't care if it's awry or not.

Why did you call me?

Do you have any question about Da Bin?

Yes. I have a question.

Go ahead and ask it.

Did you tell Da Bin...

that extravagance is something like...

adorning oneself...

with fancy dresses...

just like I usually do?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Did you really say that?

Yes.

From my point of view...

So I mean...

Still, I don't understand.

I have my reputation to think of.

Did you really...

have to say that about her grandma like that?

Why are you yelling at me?

I just tried to make her understand more easily.

Isn't it true you wear flash and fancy dresses?

Then do you want me to tell Da Bin that...

Hang on.

Da Bin, hang on a second.

Wait.

Let me see. I think it was here.

Oh, right.

"Greedy Bbangdeok approached...

the Blind Sim with ulterior motives."

In this sentence, can I tell her greedy means...

It's you.

What? Am I?

Wait. Hang on a second.

Then what about...

There was something else.

"The mother toiled and moiled for her son...

to pass the state exam."

Can I tell Da Bin toil and moil means...

how you work at the restaurant...

That's right. You can tell her that.

Tell Da Bin that I toil and moil.

Ms. Park.

You've spent only three days with Da Bin,

and you're talking too much already.

I'm busy. I'm hanging up.

Wait. Ms. Park. Hello?

Gosh.

Grandma.

The whole thing happened because of you.

Sun Ja, what's wrong?

This is ridiculous.

Did she say something to you again?

I just can't believe this. Gosh.

Mi Sun. Stop by at the restaurant after work.

Okay?

- Yes. - I'm leaving.

- Aren't you going home? - I am going now.

I just slept over at my friend's house.

There was no guy.

Stop it, Mom.

I don't want a blind date.

Why would you do that without telling me?

I don't want to get married.

Then you go on a blind date.

Hello, Mom?

Don't touch my stuff, okay?

Don't touch anything.

Why did you come over to my place...

and try to mess around with my stuff?

Do you really want to fight me?

(Han Cheon Ox-bone Soup)

Since you left like that,

you haven't called me for a week.

I called you, but you didn't answer.

You should've called me until I do.

And when I called you, you said,

"Who is this?"

I have my pride.

Don't you remember you hit me and pulled my hair?

Hey. I just did it as your mom.

Mom, you've hit me a lot...

since I was a little kid.

People would call it child abuse these days.

Hey, you've let me slave away so far.

Would you call it elder abuse?

- That's absurd. - So what?

You weren't going to see me ever again?

Is that why you sent Da Bin...

to your mother without telling me?

I just did it for a reason.

That's it.

Hey.

Even though taking care of Da Bin wasn't easy,

I've been with her for six years.

How could you send her to your mother...

without consulting me first?

It's so inconsiderate of you.

Sun Ja.

You're being ridiculous. You said you were tired.

You were too exhausted to do it.

I wouldn't abandon my grandchild...

just because I'm exhausted.

Then what am I supposed to do?

Do you want to take care of Da Bin or not?

What on earth do you want?

Do you want me to bring her back?

Will you look after Da Bin again?

Forget it. Don't bring her.

Mom!

Don't bring her ever again.

You become so mean to me...

when you're upset.

I just realized that I wouldn't get any credit...

for taking care of your child for you.

Do whatever you want with your life.

Raise your kid yourself.

And do your house chores yourself.

Don't ever come back here again.

Okay?

Do you think I'm afraid to hear that?

- My gosh. - Mi Sun.

It's okay, Uncle. I should get going.

Take this with you.

I packed Jin Soo's favorite dishes.

Don't give her any food.

I cooked it. Why would you give it to her?

Don't give her any food.

I don't want it.

I won't give you anything.

What is this?

Gosh. Darn it!

What is it now?

My goodness.

I can't stand this anymore.

Gosh.

She should put away toys after playing with them.

I'm so hungry and tired.

There's nothing to eat in the fridge.

All we have is kimchi.

Mi Sun is not doing house chores at all?

Honey, give me something to eat.

Wait a little. Let me fold the laundry first.

I'm hungry.

Your husband is hungry.

Then help me fold the laundry.

Why would I?

My mom takes care of Da Bin.

What?

Why did you not go grocery shopping...

and buy some spring greens?

Can't you buy some shepherd's purse,

wash it in the running water,

and make doenjang soup with it for me?

What is he talking about?

Or you could go to a fish market...

and buy some monkfish.

With some water parsley and bean sprouts,

you can make steamed monkfish...

using glutinous rice flour.

Or while you buy monkfish...

"They have blue crabs too."

"My husband loves blue crabs."

You could buy some blue crabs...

and make blue crab soup with some zucchini...

and chopped Cheongyang chili.

Can't you make blue crab soup for me?

What did you just say?

What's wrong?

Go away. What are you doing?

What?

Doenjang soup with shepherd's purse?

Steamed monkfish?

Blue crab soup?

My gosh.

Come here. I'm not done.

Gosh, why...

Whose fault do you think this is?

Why are you hitting me?

We both just got back from work.

Then you should help me with the house chores.

What? You're not doing anything...

because your mom takes care of Da Bin?

Are you an ill-natured man?

How could you be like that?

Gosh, stop it.

Go pick Da Bin up.

If I'm the ill-natured man,

you are the ill-natured man's wife.

Come here.

You are dead when I get my hands on you!

Dad.

Let's go, Da Bin.

Father!

- Grandpa. - Oh, hi.

What a surprise! What's up?

Nothing.

I picked up Da Bin and we're on our way home.

I see. That's right.

Where did you go?

I met a friend who used to work at the newspaper.

Did you have dinner?

No, not yet.

I was going to have dinner with my friend.

But he got busy all of a sudden,

so he left.

What about you guys?

We didn't eat yet.

Grandma said she's tired.

So she told us to go home and eat.

What's the matter with her?

Ever since she started taking care of Da Bin,

she doesn't even lift a finger at home.

Gosh.

Grandpa, Da Bin is hungry.

Are you?

Father.

Jin Soo is also hungry.

Here it comes.

Here is your rolled omelet.

Da Bin.

Eat this rolled omelet with rice.

- Okay. - Here you go.

It looks so good. It's been fried to golden.

Hey, you know what?

Although this restaurant looks old on the outside,

among taxi drivers,

this place is known as a good restaurant.

I understand. It's so delicious, Father.

Father, how about a steamed monkfish...

for tomorrow as dinner?

I know a really good restaurant.

Are you saying we eat out every day?

Gosh, Father.

We should eat well.

Hey, is it that good?

Yes, it's really good.

Don't you think it's good?

Help yourself.

Hey, don't you regret?

"Regret"?

About what?

You told your mother not to come.

Don't you regret that?

Not really.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'm a man who always keeps my word.

I don't... I don't regret.

I regret.

Pardon?

I should've stopped her.

I regret it so much.

Seriously! Father.

Finish your food.

Oh, my.

I envy them.

How great is it to be away from your wife...

all day?

They eat whatever is given to them.

I know because I come here often.

Why you already ate so much?

Stop eating.

You're not the only one eating here.

Finish up. Help yourself.

Da Bin only had one...

rolled omelet while you ate them all.

I'm done! You eat them all up.

(Episode 24 will air shortly.)

(Episode 24)

I've proofread the manuscript...

that you gave me this morning.

This author kept using the same ending word.

I corrected them, can you please take a look?

I'll check them later.

And...

I'll take some time to plan a new novel.

I have many things to write about.

But you're not going to support all of them.

Of course.

Publishing is not charitable work.

Pardon me?

I'm the type who does better with compliments.

I've never gone...

to the ox-bone soup restaurant...

to call on anyone. And that was...

the greatest favor I've ever done to any author.

I see.

Unless there's anything, I'm leaving for the day.

Excuse me, Kang Mi Hye.

Yes?

Since this is your first day in this company,

how about we have a get-together?

Peter has gone home a while ago.

Just the two of us?

If you don't want it, forget about it.

It's not that I don't want it...

I have an appointment with a friend.

Then I'll see you tomorrow.

All right. See you tomorrow.

"A friend"?

I'm going to see Kang Mi Hye.

Do you know her address?

I roughly know.

I know everything.

What?

That you made a contract with Mi Hye...

for a part-timer, not an author.

Please don't tell this to Mi Hye.

I once was a would-be author.

I'm an author managing to make a living...

on the fiercest field in Korea now.

I know signing a contract is not a simple thing.

Especially it's not easy to lend a helping hand...

to an author like Mi Hye, who didn't write for long.

Then why did you pretend that you didn't know?

I remember you brought the orchid.

I thought that would help her...

to consider writing again.

Well, you know how it is.

Just like a discouraged ballerina recalls...

her glorious old days as she walks past a theater.

Just like a vocalist who lost one's voice...

takes courage...

from one's old score.

Are you saying she might start writing...

as she works at the bookstore?

Yes, that's right.

This is the collection of her works in college.

(College Anthology)

Gosh.

I'm well aware of that Mi Hye has a talent.

She didn't only have a talent,

but she was a genius.

She is so talented that she has no match.

I couldn't dare to compare myself to her.

And?

I was just fortunate.

Mi Hye was just unfortunate.

But why do you try so hard to make her write again?

Well...

When I get married, I'd like to support my wife...

with all my heart, if she has a talent.

I can even give up my career.

I was just fortunate anyway.

When my wife works,

I can do the chores...

and take care of the baby.

If modern science allows,

I can even get pregnant and give birth.

- Do what? - Because...

Mi Hye is very weak.

She easily gets stressed and feels tired.

When she gets pregnant and her belly gets big,

she won't be able to write well.

But if I get pregnant and have a big belly,

I can still write well and move around.

Wait, hold on.

Do you have to be pregnant?

What on earth...

is your relationship with Mi Hye?

We're friends.

Just friends?

What are you doing here?

I'm having coffee before going to my workroom.

Why do you always have dinner at our place?

That way, I get to see Mother,

you, and Mi Hye.

She went to the publishing company this morning.

I know. I talked to her on the phone earlier today.

I don't know what annoyed her this time,

but it was uneasy that she took a leave and stuff.

When she left work this morning,

Sun Ja seemed relieved.

I see.

How are your scripts going?

I have enough time...

because it's preparatory manufacture.

And the scripts are almost done.

Gosh, Mi Hye should write as you do.

I don't know what her problem is.

Mr. Park, can you come for the payment?

Oh, right. I need to go.

- You'll wait for Mi Hye? - Yes.

Okay, see you.

Jae Bum!

I have such great news!

Mi Hye. I get it but hold on.

Let me breathe.

I've decided to write again.

I have my desk too. A real one.

I see.

I signed a new contract,

and they'll pay me 30,000 dollars...

if my book gets published.

You know how huge of an amount that is, right?

Of course, I do.

Mi Hye. Congratulations.

I want to do a good job this time.

A great job. I mean it.

You'll help me, right?

Of course.

Anyway, thank you for scolding me back then.

You made me come to my senses.

I mustered my courage up thanks to you.

Really?

When you talked to me all serious,

I got intimidated a little.

Here, I bought this for you.

Ta-da.

You said you lost your hair, your back hurt,

and you had hemorrhoids too.

I didn't say it was me who had hemorrhoids.

Come on. You don't have to keep it from me.

Do you want to have a beer with me?

I'll treat you to express my gratitude.

Let's go have something delicious.

I'd love to, but I can't.

I have to send the manuscript by tomorrow.

The assistants are waiting for me.

I see.

Another time then.

Jae Bum.

You know how to play hard to get.

You're cool.

I'm not. How dare I play hard to get with you?

Then again.

Anyway, thank you, Jae Bum.

Bye.

Thank you so much.

Excuse me.

Check the wine list thoroughly.

Be careful not to make any mistakes.

Ji Soo, check the B section.

Yes, Ms. Kang.

Min Hye,

it's three minutes before the guests enter.

Are things all ready?

Yes, things are all ready.

Mr. Park.

Did you check the screen and the microphone?

Yes, they're all set.

Good.

It's already their 40th anniversary.

- What a nice occasion. - Worth celebrating.

- What a nice day. - I know.

This way.

(Hansung Apparel 40th Anniversary Ceremony)

How about this?

Have all the guests arrived?

Yes, they are arriving.

All right.

Let's begin the entrance.

Let's start the entrance.

Please enter.

(Hansung Apparel 40th Anniversary Ceremony)

Welcome.

They're entering.

(Hansung Apparel 40th Anniversary Ceremony)

Ms. Lee.

Section A and B are almost full.

Please escort the guests...

to Section C and D from now on.

Okay.

Are you Han Tae Ju?

It's you, right?

Don't you remember me? It's me, Jung So Hee.

Hey, So Hee.

It's been years...

since you went abroad to study in high school.

When did you come back?

Well... What?

By the way, what are you doing here?

I'm sorry,

but can you act like you don't know me?

What?

I'll call you later.

What on earth are you doing here?

That's...

Is this why you cut ties with other friends?

Dear guests,

the chairman and the CEO are entering.

I need to go say hello to your mother first.

Call me later, okay?

Okay.

- Oh, no. I'm sorry. - Thank you.

- We'll shortly begin... - I'm okay.

- the ceremony. - Are you okay?

- Please be seated. - I'm fine.

Your shirt...

I'm all right.

But still.

Look who this is.

Mother.

It's been such a long time.

When did you come back to Korea?

Have you been well?

Of course.

I came back last month.

I'm sorry I didn't get to call you beforehand.

Don't be. I heard you were busy.

It's so nice to see you like this.

By the way, what happened?

Oh, well...

I spilled wine on her shirt.

I'm so sorry.

Here's my number. Call me. I'll compensate.

No.

You don't have to.

She's our employee.

Things like this happen all the time at events.

Launder your shirt, and demand the price later.

You spilled some on your dress too.

Will you be okay?

We have to take pictures later.

I'm all right.

Let's go to my table first.

How is your mother?

My mom is curious how you're doing too.

There. Take a seat.

(Hansung Apparel 40th Anniversary Ceremony)

Pour me a glass too.

All right. Cheers.

Our honored Chairman Han Jong Soo,

our respected guests,

and family members of Hansung Apparel...

who are here...

to celebrate our 40th anniversary,

I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

For the past 40 years, Hansung Apparel...

carried on Hansung Group's tradition.

Making clothes that our customers want...

equals our happiness.

Our management was customer-focused.

Thanks to the hard work,

we survived...

in the fierce clothing industry.

But we cannot be satisfied with this.

We must go further.

We won't stop at 40 years or even 50 years.

To aim to have our 100th anniversary,

not only our customers,

but our employees must be happy as well.

Man or woman.

Born rich or born poor.

CEO or newbie.

We are all equal members of the Hansung family.

(Hansung Apparel 40th Anniversary Ceremony)

(Hansung Apparel 40th Anniversary Ceremony)

I will,

for the future of Hansung Apparel,

put down my authority as CEO...

when I treat the employees.

I will break free...

from the top-down authoritative structure.

Before employees, we are colleagues.

Before colleagues, we are friends.

Before friends,

we are family.

Hansung Apparel...

will grow as a family unit...

to overcome conflict and stagnation.

To become known worldwide,

and to become a dynamic and creative company,

I will do my best.

(Hansung Apparel 40th Anniversary Ceremony)

(Biggest Annual Sales Despite Crisis)

(Han Tae Ju)

I waited for you...

because you're my mom.

Like a fool.

Why isn't Sun Ja here?

Is she still in bed?

Hang on. Let me see.

What are you gawking at? That hurts.

Who are you?

Hey. Don't you recognize your own sister?

What are you doing?

What do you think?

I'm going somewhere.

What? Where?

- To have fun. - What?

To see the flowers.

"Flowers"?

Are you playing the name games or what?

Why so many questions?

I don't have to watch Da Bin anymore,

so I decided to travel and have fun.

I'm free.

Say that word. "Free".

Okay. "Free".

Yes. I'm free.

I'm off. You and Min Ho.

Yes?

Keep the restaurant going.

Okay?

- Yes. - Yes.

- See you. - Sun Ja.

When will you be back?

I don't know.

Sun Ja...

Over here, Sun Ja! We're over here.

Sun Ja!

- Hurry up! - She has sunglasses.

- My goodness. - Gosh.

Goodness, she's even wearing high heels.

Hurry up. The bus is full.

Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Please stop!

Oh, dear.

(Happy Kindergarten)

Oh, dear.

What now, Grandma?

I missed the bus!

Doesn't that bus driver have ears?

I yelled to death and he couldn't hear?

Darn him. My knees hurt.

Oh, well. Don't worry.

We'll take a taxi.

Let's take a taxi. That will do.

Don't cry. You won't be late.

We just have to take a taxi.

Don't cry.

Good girl. Stop crying.

Why you...

(Kyeongcheon Market Spring Outing)

No, really. It's not true.

You talked for that long with a stranger?

She was so pretty.

Who is she? You know her, right?

- Gosh. - Your ex-girlfriend?

That must be it.

What's the matter?

Do you know that at the anniversary ceremony,

Tae Ju met his ex-girlfriend?

- Do you? - No.

It's not like that. Really.

It's not.

No, you're wrong. I saw her too.

She's Sungil Group's chairman's granddaughter.

She just got back from majoring flute in Germany.

She was on the news. Jung So Hee.

Sungil Group's chairman's granddaughter?

Why don't you people work?

You don't sound like her at all.

Ms. Kang's out...

and she'll go straight home afterward.

Get out of my seat.

Ms. Kang won't come back in today?

No. Why?

It's nothing.

Where do you plan to go?

I was thinking about the American West.

I see.

Let me have a look.

(Study Abroad Application)

Tae Ju.

Will you have dinner with me tonight?

Ms. Kang.

Hi, Tae Ju. Come on in.

Please give us one more glass.

Okay.

What's going on?

What do you mean?

I didn't get to see you all day.

Gosh, it's not something to complain about.

That's why I asked you to have dinner with me.

I called you yesterday.

Why did you not answer my call?

You called me?

- Yes. - Why?

Because I was worried.

You don't have to.

You didn't look good at the Foundation Day event.

Gosh.

I guess I should smile all the time because of you.

I was just tired.

After holding a big event like that,

I get aches and pains all over.

I took some pills and went to bed early yesterday.

Okay?

Still, you should answer my calls.

Pour me a drink.

You should stop drinking.

- What? - You're drunk.

Your face is all red like a tomato.

What? "Tomato"?

"Tomato".

What kind of woman laughs like that?

I'm not a woman to you.

Why not?

I guess I can't squabble with you...

like this anymore.

What do you mean?

I'm working only until the end of this month.

I'll quit.

What?

Why?

I'm going abroad to study.

"Going abroad to study"?

Why do you want to study abroad all of a sudden?

It's not sudden.

I've been thinking about it for years.

I want to try it before it's too late.

Is this about Ms. Jeon?

No. It's not like that.

She just joined our company. I guess...

she's trying to show her presence in her own way.

And you just happened to be there.

You don't seem easy to deal with.

You sound like an employee of Hansung now.

It feels rewarding.

Running away from it doesn't sound like you.

What you do is to take the bull by the horns.

I just want to take a break.

Don't tell anyone yet.

I'm just telling you about it first.

Why?

Why are you telling me that first?

Why?

Yes.

That's because...

we had some history...

and shared a lot of good memories.

And above all things,

you're my favorite subordinate.

And...

you are my junior whom I care most.

- 14th floor canceled. - I'll walk you home.

I didn't tell you that to make you frown like that.

Stop being mad. I'm embarrassed.

So...

why did you tell me that first?

I told you.

Because you are my favorite subordinate.

Ms. Kang.

How dare you.

I like you.

I like you a lot.

Han Tae Ju.

I'll see you at work tomorrow.

You're my boss, so what?

I said I like you.

I have feelings for you.

I think I'm in love with you.

(My Prettiest Daughter in the World)

If you have feelings for me, just let it go.

I'm serious.

How could you do that?

You asked me to take care of Da Bin...

while you sent your mom on a trip?

- I hate you, Grandma. - Da Bin.

This is so nice.

The cherry blossoms are beautiful.

I guess Mom led a loose life.

I, Park Sun Ja,

want to go back.

She has a complicated private life.

I'm sorry.

You're busy with your boyfriend and everything.

How would you write a novel like that?

Ms. Kang, I have a favor to ask you.

I'm wrapping it up quietly.

- I have to go abroad. - Why?

We all have secrets.

I handed in my resignation.

I can't let you go like this.
