(Episode 42)

What do you think you are doing?

Honey, aren't you supposed to be in the Philippines now?

While I was on a business trip,

you called this brat over to our house without telling me?

It's not like that, honey.

You...

What are you doing?

Don't lay a hand on my mother.

She did nothing wrong.

I came to see her one last time.

You begged me to keep your secret.

It looks like the secret's out.

Are you pleased to meet your birth mom?

Were you overjoyed to be reunited with the son you abandoned?

So much so that you cooked him a feast?

I should go.

- Kang Soo. - Don't you move an inch.

If you go after him,

our marriage is over.

Kang Soo.

Today is your birthday.

I wanted to...

make you seaweed soup on your birthday for once.

That's why I invited you.

I'm so sorry.

I wouldn't dare ask for your forgiveness.

I had no choice back then.

I left the orphanage at age 18...

and was forced to make a living.

I got pregnant when I was far too young.

Three days before you were born,

your dad got into an accident at a construction site.

He died.

I was penniless,

and I had no one to turn to.

I didn't think I could raise you.

Then I found myself thinking and hoping...

that you at least...

should grow up with a happy, warm family.

The couple who owned Eagle Brewery...

had a reputation for being genuinely good people,

and they already had four sons.

So you left me outside the brewery?

I didn't just leave you there.

I got a job there as a bookkeeper.

Mr. Oh's wife was ill,

so when no one was looking,

I breastfed you in secret.

I changed your diapers too.

When you cried,

I sang you a lullaby.

I raised you myself until you turned three.

But in the end,

you left me on my own.

And you even stole from my family.

Mr. Oh...

found out I was your birth mom.

I couldn't handle the truth, so I had to leave.

I wasn't in my right mind.

I regretted leaving you...

every single day after that.

I'm so sorry.

Were you never going to tell me?

I wanted you to tell me first, Mom.

I believed that not telling you was for your own good.

You were only looking out for yourself and your family.

Kang Soo.

I should go.

You broke the promise you made to me.

Did you lie about the business trip...

to test me to see if I'd keep the promise?

You'll pay dearly for going against your word.

Let's get divorced.

You can't see reason now that you've found your son?

You keep asking for a divorce.

This is it for us.

Let's end things here.

You have no right to say such things.

I decide when we will end it.

So, is Se Ri my little sister?

Kang Soo already knew?

No.

He didn't tell me anything about it.

I need you to take good care of him.

I don't want him to be hurt.

Okay.

I'm home.

Kang Soo.

Are you all right?

Why did you not say anything when you knew everything?

You should've told me.

I thought it'd be better for everyone...

if I pretended not to know.

But when I saw Se Ri's father...

walk all over my mother,

I couldn't help it. My blood boiled in that moment.

It must've been hard for you to endure everything all alone.

I'm sorry, Kang Soo.

Yes.

My mother-in-law is home.

Gyeol and Bom must be happy to see her.

She absolutely adores her grandchildren,

and they love her just as much.

They lost their mom at a young age,

so they must be exceptionally close to their grandmother.

I guess that's true.

I'm indebted to my mother-in-law...

in many ways.

You know, Dad can be very picky and cautious.

But after he met her,

he became more cheerful and energetic.

So I think it's a good thing.

I also didn't like her so much at first,

but once I got to know her, I realized she was...

a straightforward, unpretentious, and genuinely innocent person.

Is that right?

Everyone says she's nice, so why don't I like her that much?

It's natural that you are not happy about this.

I mean, you are Mom's mom.

But it's been 15 years since Mom passed away.

Dad has been really lonely the whole time.

Please try to like her.

We can't just be emotional.

We must be careful before we decide anything.

If we take in the wrong person,

it will ruin both the company and our family.

My gosh. You poor things.

Kwang Sook.

Why are you still up?

- Let's sit. - Okay.

You are going to the courthouse tomorrow, right?

Yes.

If she doesn't show up again, it'll be withdrawn automatically.

I'm worried.

She can be really impulsive.

We are off to a good start with the export of Jang-Kwang yakju,

and the wholesalers are starting to place orders again.

So, try to persuade her. Tell her we'll find a way...

to cover Yeoung Ju's tuition fees.

We only just managed to overcome that difficult situation.

How could I possibly spend that precious money?

I don't want to accept any more favors from you.

You are not accepting a favor from me.

When things were tough at the brewery,

you and your brothers all stepped up to help me.

It's not a favor to help each other as a family.

Still, that's just not right.

Don't say such a thing again even if it's a joke.

It really upsets me.

Just have a good talk with So Yeon...

and make sure to complete the legal process...

with her tomorrow.

Though Mi Sun isn't saying anything,

she must be really frustrated.

Hello?

We are going to the courthouse tomorrow. You know that, right?

All you can...

think about now...

is breaking up with me, right?

If we don't show up tomorrow, things will get complicated.

We have to go.

You don't care about your daughter who just entered college.

All you can think about is...

how to break up with me and start over with that woman...

from the convenience store, right?

And do you call yourself a dad?

Our divorce has nothing to do with Yeoung Ju.

Stop trying to get her involved.

Come to the brewery. I have something to tell you.

I'll be waiting.

(Eagle Brewery)

Chun Soo.

Hey, Mi Sun.

What are you doing here? You didn't even call me.

I had something to say.

Are you busy?

No. I'm free.

Sit.

Is it something serious?

It's nothing serious.

I wasn't sure if it was something I could do,

so I hesitated a little.

But I hope you'll accept it as a kind gesture.

What is it? Why are you hesitating to say it?

Here.

What is this?

It's for Yeoung Ju's tuition.

I thought I could...

help you with it at least once.

Mi Sun.

Even someone with little knowledge like me...

knows that college tuition in the US is expensive.

I think it might be too much for you to handle on your own.

You are hurting my pride.

What are you talking about?

Some people give scholarships to students they don't even know.

More importantly, she is your daughter.

That means she also means a lot to me.

I'm sorry,

but I'll just appreciate the gesture.

I really appreciate it.

Chun Soo.

Mi Sun.

If you're going to be like this too, I'll really be upset.

If I take this money,

it'll make me look incompetent and helpless.

I can't take that.

That's not what I'm saying.

You seem so stressed out.

I thought I should do something,

so I came here to make myself feel better.

I'm sorry.

I won't offer if you're not willing.

But I'm really worried about you.

I know.

I know how you feel.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry, Mi Sun.

You both...

care about each other so much.

I can't stand this tearjerker.

Let's go.

Hotel room, my foot.

- Honey. - Don't call me like that.

I want to stop being your wife.

What are you doing?

To be honest,

I can't stand being in a closed space with you.

The sound of your breathing. Your smell.

I don't like it.

Honey.

I doubt you've been able to shower properly where you live,

so take a bath.

You smell like that dingy place you're staying in.

I give up.

(Eagle Brewery)

It's not like that, honey.

You...

What are you doing?

Don't lay a hand on my mother.

I'm home.

Welcome home, sweetie.

Mom. Were you crying?

No. Why?

Your eyes are puffy.

No. Why would I cry?

I dozed off for a bit.

Is everything okay?

Yes.

What about Dad? Did he make it to the Philippines safely?

What? Oh, yes.

- Se Ri. - Yes?

Do you know I cherish you...

more than life itself?

Whatever happens,

please trust and believe...

the fact that I love you, okay?

Why would you say that?

I'm tired.

I should go to bed.

Let's talk another time.

Let's get divorced.

This is it for us.

Let's end things here.

Why would I do as she wants?

Never.

Not while I live.

Darn it.

Let's take a break, everyone. Take a breather.

Listen up.

Say hi.

They're a filming team from KBC.

They want to shoot a documentary...

about our preparations for the event.

- Nice. - Oh, my.

No way.

Hello. I'm Nam Gi Poong, the director.

Hello.

I hope we work together well.

Okay.

You seem to be on the older side,

but I watched you dance,

and you were incredible.

I am pretty old,

but I can perform as well as anyone.

When you dance on stage, it's not about how cool you are.

What comes across is how serious and sincere you are.

My gosh. That's an amazing quote.

Ok Bun. You did great today.

Come on. I didn't do much.

You did all the work.

No, don't say that.

You watched the sandwich shop for me...

and doubled as my manager and fan club president.

You played multiple roles today.

I did it because I wanted to.

You must be tired. Go home and rest up.

Okay.

Sleep well yourself.

I will.

Hey.

- It's blood. - What?

- What? - Your nose is bleeding.

My nose?

Ok Bun.

Yes?

It might be because I lost some blood,

but my legs are shaking, and I'm in a daze.

I can't make it home.

I think I need to rest here until I feel stable.

That...

would be best, wouldn't it?

(G Hair Salon)

You can...

run away like last time if you want to.

I won't try to stop you.

Why would you...

say something like that to ruin...

the romantic mood?

I won't run away.

I'll make the bed, cook breakfast,

and eat with you before I leave.

Thanks...

for not bailing.

I promise you this.

From now on, I'll never bail on you.

It's as Kwang Sook said.

This is a one-way street, and I'm not turning back.

Heung Soo, you've matured.

- It's a nosebleed. - What?

- You're bleeding. - Again?

You're bleeding from both nostrils this time!

Bleeding from both my nostrils?

Darn, this is so embarrassing.

What's there to be embarrassed about?

Should a woman be this shameless?

We're past the point in our relationship...

where we get embarrassed.

You have another thing coming!

- Wait. - Be still!

Goodness.

You're up early, Mother.

Right.

I wouldn't say I got up early.

It's more like I stayed up all night.

It must be the jet lag.

It wasn't just that.

Thinking about one thing after another...

kept me up until sunrise.

Why? Is something on your mind?

Just so you know,

I won't make you stay single,

thinking only of my late daughter.

I'm not close-minded like that.

Of course, Mother. I know that better than anyone.

But because you're not an average man,

you should be more cautious.

What do you mean by that?

Choose wisely, keeping in mind how it'll impact...

both the company and the children.

Don't make a rash decision...

solely based on your emotions.

I chose her...

only after considerable deliberation and caution.

Is that so?

Why is it that I can't seem to trust you on that?

This probably comes from...

the first impression she made...

when you saw her in the elevator.

When you meet her in person,

you'll realize her good qualities outweigh everything else.

Really? Are you sure about that?

I'll arrange a gathering sometime later,

so you can see what she's like in person.

Good morning!

All right.

One, two, three...

One's missing.

I don't see Heung Soo.

He didn't come home last night.

What?

Did he not come home?

He's been practicing his dancing until late at night.

He must've crashed at the practice studio.

No, not at the practice studio.

I'm sure he was with the salon owner.

I'd be grateful for that.

Exactly. It's a good thing.

It deserves more than just a simple "Thank you."

I'd say, "Thank you very much."

Chun Soo.

Why is she here, crashing our morning?

Why are you here this early?

Get up if you're done with breakfast.

You wanted to go to the courthouse.

What?

What happened to you?

What do you mean?

You totally blew me off when I said I wanted to talk...

to you last night.

So, why the sudden change of heart?

Can you at least hide your joy?

Keep a poker face.

If you rub me the wrong way,

I might run off on the way there.

What?

I brought your underwear.

Pull it together and get up.

I didn't...

I didn't ask for such things.

Darn.

I brought the underwear since I was on my way here.

Anyway, I'll get straight to the point.

I want a divorce.

Says who?

Me.

If you won't agree to it, I'll take legal action.

It's always the guilty ones who bark louder.

How can you be so shameless to demand a divorce?

Enough is enough.

I can't live like this anymore.

You finally want to live freely. Is that it?

I'll find the right time...

to tell Se Ri and ask for her forgiveness.

Don't you dare.

I'll take it out on your son.

Don't you dare lay a hand on my son.

If you do,

you'll pay for it 10 or 20 times over.

Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed today?

Take the call.

And don't forget my warning.

What the...

Hello?

Why couldn't I reach you all day yesterday?

I booked my flight...

but had to cancel...

because I couldn't get in touch with you.

Forget it!

Shoot.

Darn!

Hello?

Bom, it's been a while.

Have you been well, Ms. Jang?

I hope you've been well.

Of course.

I called to ask you something.

Did Mr. Oh Kang Soo show up at work today?

Sorry?

Yes, a while ago. Should I put him on?

No, that isn't necessary.

I'm glad to know he showed up for work.

We'll talk again sometime later, okay?

Sure.

What was that about?

Thanks.

Did something happen with Se Ri's mom?

Why are you asking?

She called just now,

wondering if you made it to work.

Se Ri, have a seat.

I've decided...

to give you my blessing.

You can date...

Professor Oh.

Mom.

I'm sorry I made things harder on you,

my daughter.

Do you mean that?

Of course, I do.

All this time,

I've been treating you like a child.

But I've come to see...

that you're more mature and considerate than I am...

in some ways.

Because of that,

I'm going to trust your decision.

Mom...

Even if I'm not by your side,

I find comfort in knowing that Professor Oh...

will be there for you.

What do you mean by that?

Why won't you be by my side?

I'm not getting any younger.

It's not like I can stay in your life forever.

You can.

- What? - Don't grow old, Mom.

Looking just like this,

you'll be in my life forever. Got it?

Sure.

I'd love that too.

Hey, Se Ri.

I have good news.

Good news?

My mom gave us her blessing.

What do you mean by that?

She's letting us date.

What's with that reaction?

Am I the only one who's happy about it?

It's not like that.

It is so sudden that I'm a little confused.

I'm also taken aback here.

I knew she was softening up,

but I didn't know she'd change her mind this quickly.

I feel like I'm dreaming now.

I know.

Welcome.

Hey, Chun Soo.

You seem to be in a good mood.

Is something good happening?

I'm on my way back from the courthouse.

So Yeon and I...

have finished up...

the legal procedures.

Really?

I'm here to tell you first.

It must've been very stressful for you,

but you've put up with everything without complaining.

Thank you.

I promise I'll make it up to you.

Yes.

We got the divorce certificate from the court...

and submitted it to the town office today.

Are you happy now?

You brat.

Do you not worry about your mom at all?

You always take your dad's side.

Okay.

I'll catch the night flight and go back.

Stop nagging me, okay?

I'm hanging up.

(Eagle Brewery)

Kwang Sook.

You're here.

You heard from Chun Soo, right?

Thank you for making...

such a difficult decision.

I'm not sure if this is something I should be thanked for.

I'm no longer part of this family,

but I thought I should say goodbye, so I stopped by.

Are you...

going back to the US?

Yes. I'll be flying out tonight.

Stay healthy anyway.

Forget all about being scammed...

and start fresh.

You have Yeoung Ju with you.

I don't know if I have the right to say this,

but please take good care of Chun Soo.

He's far from being harsh,

so he needs his family to help him.

Don't worry about him.

And...

about Yeoung Ju's tuition.

As I promised, I will try my best...

to help you with that.

Thank you.

Take good care of Yeoung Ju.

This is your problem.

What?

Why would you even ask me to take care of my own daughter?

It's not like Yeoung Ju is a burden to me.

You are finding fault with me again.

I only said it because I feel bad I can't be there for her.

Why would you feel bad?

You've done more than enough.

I mean it.

You've done...

everything you could.

Thank you for realizing it after all this time.

Take good care of your health.

You take care too.

Now that you abandoned your wife who gave birth to your child,

I believe you can be more spiteful too.

Don't let others steal from you.

Make sure to be more spiteful and line your own pocket.

It sounds like a request and a complaint at the same time.

It's both.

Okay.

And about the convenience store lady.

She's perfect for you.

She seems nice but spiteful at the same time.

She seems weak, but she's actually tough.

You should've met a woman like her sooner.

And I hope you will find someone nice too.

Don't fall for a fraud again.

I hope to hear...

only good news from Yeoung Ju.

Goodbye,

So Yeon.

Take care.

The taxi is here.

Okay.

You've been through a lot because of me,

Chun Soo.

(Eagle Brewery)

(Eagle Brewery)

Did the Vice-CEO's wife return to the US for good?

Yes. They finalized the legal stuff,

so she's leaving today.

It's as if I got a rotten tooth pulled.

(Samhan Mart CEO Kim Sam Han)

Hello, Mr. Kim.

I called with some good news.

Good news?

It looks like Jang-Kwang yakju will be huge.

Word must have gotten out. We're getting a good response.

Are you, really?

Yes.

We can double the export shipment.

Yes.

Okay. Thank you.

What was that about?

Jang-Kwang yakju must be doing well in the US.

They want us to send twice as much.

Already?

Word must have gotten out.

Eagle Brewery's products...

are going global at last.

That's great.

That's right. We can only go up.

(Silla Brewery)

Sir.

The employees are saying it's too risky...

to go all in on a premium makgeolli.

Goodness. They can't even do as they're told,

and they think they can talk? Give me a break.

The major shareholders will push back too.

That's why...

we must get started before they find out.

I'll take full responsibility.

Proceed as discreetly as possible. You got that?

Yes, sir.

(CEO Dokgo Tak)

Just you wait.

I'll crush the eagles just like this.

Boom.

Hello.

You're back. It's nice to see you so often.

Yes. Today, I'm here...

to check things out and buy a gift.

I'm shopping for someone with a good eye for fashion.

I need to choose well.

This is fine as it is,

but it would look nicer with a bag.

That's perfect.

How was this design received?

Women like this design these days.

What kind of style does the person you're shopping for like?

Well,

she dresses as flashily as young people do these days.

She likes dresses too.

How about this, then?

It has a bright pattern, but the material's light,

so it's perfect for the current weather.

I like it. Can you gift-wrap that for me?

Why would you carry something this heavy yourself?

You should've called me.

I can handle this kind of weight. It's not too heavy.

Why is it just you two?

Come and have some watermelon.

Come along.

It's so cold that my teeth hurt.

Give me that slice.

I'll blow it warm for you.

Leave it.

What are you two doing?

It looks like you're dating.

There's no way you could be a couple...

with your age difference.

Kim.

Do you know my exact age?

I don't know exactly, but aren't you and Mr. Go...

about ten years apart?

What?

You fool! What's wrong with your eyes?

She could pass for someone ten years my junior.

There's no way she'd be ten years older!

Did you have a heat stroke?

She looks way older than you.

Darn you.

Kim.

Don't ever think of having watermelon again.

Mrs. Gong.

Wait! You can't walk off during a watermelon break.

Do you think I'm in the mood for watermelon?

I'll come back looking ten years younger.

Just you wait.

(Eagle Brewery)

Welcome.

Did you hear from the secretaries' office?

Chairman Han said he'd call his secretary.

Just a moment, please.

Are you Madam Gong Ju Sil?

Yes, that's me.

The chairman's secretary told us to take extra good care of you.

If you sit and wait, someone will come for you.

Okay.

Excuse me.

You must come here often.

No.

This is my first visit.

Chairman Han said...

"Mother, you should take better care of yourself."

But I was busy with my business,

so I didn't have the time.

Chairman Han...

as in Chairman Han Dong Seok?

Do you know Chairman Han?

Yes.

- My gosh. - Our families are close.

Oh, is that so?

Then we might meet every now and then.

It looks like...

Chairman Han calls you "Mother."

His birth mother...

passed away a long time ago.

My daughter is...

Chairman Han's...

fiancee.

I see.

Then are you...

the brewery CEO's mother?

Goodness. How do you know that?

Chairman Han told me briefly a few days ago.

Oh, I see.

You must be really close with Chairman Han.

Yes. You could say so.

Isn't he...

so manly and incredible?

He's the best son-in-law material in the whole country.

He is.

He has a great personality, and he's charismatic too.

And most importantly,

he'll even pretend to roll over and die for my daughter.

He must have a side I didn't know about.

There's a reason they say...

if a man loves his wife enough,

he'll even bow to her family's garden post.

He wants to marry my daughter so much...

that he practically took all four...

of her brothers-in-law under his wing.

Her brothers-in-law?

Yes.

He made one an outside director.

Another got a job at LX Fashion.

Yet another is running a sandwich shop,

and he supplies snacks...

to the hotel staff twice a week.

Chairman Han...

arranged for the order.

I see he is extra considerate.

Madam Gong Ju Sil. Please come with me.

I hope to see you again.

I'm coming.

I just spoke with my friend.

He thinks Jang-Kwang yakju is going to be a hit.

He's really excited.

I owe it all to you, sir.

Goodness.

You went back to saying "sir?"

We need to be careful at the hotel,

so I'll call you that when I'm here.

Come in.

It's time for your marketing meeting.

Oh, okay.

I have to get back to the brewery.

I'll let you work.

I'll call you later, then.

Hello.

Ms. Sweetie, is it?

Yes, ma'am.

I take it you were with Chairman Han.

After making my deliveries,

I stopped by to see him.

I was about to get some tea.

Would you like to join me?

Chairman Han told me a bit about you.

You lost your husband just ten days after marrying him.

That's right.

Oh, dear.

It must've been devastating.

At first,

it really took a toll on me.

The dead may feel wronged,

but the living learn to move forward.

Isn't that why you're considering marrying Chairman Han?

Sorry?

I heard you ran a brewery.

I, for one, have never been a fan of makgeolli.

The sweet and tart taste doesn't quite agree with me.

Our makgeolli is strongly carbonated and gently acidic,

which gives it a refreshing taste.

It's often called the Dal Perignon of makgeolli.

Makgeolli can't be anything but that. Don't be ridiculous.

Our makgeolli tastes nothing like...

your typical store-bought makgeolli.

Would you care to try a sip?

Are you really that confident in your product?

Yes.

I take pride in our makgeolli being Korea's finest.

(Jang-Kwang Makgeolli)

- Allow me. - Sure.

Allow me to pour you a drink.

Forget it.

We're not close enough to actually drink together,

so I'll pour my own glass.

Wait, you shouldn't shake it like that.

- Oh, no. - My gosh!

Are you all right? My goodness!

- Wait. - What on earth...

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Our makgeolli is highly carbonated and...

I'm sorry.

You're just telling me that now?

You should have told me before I opened the bottle.

I'm truly sorry.

I'm sorry.

She already hates me as it is,

and now I'm completely in the doghouse.

I see you're home.

Kwang Sook told me what happened.

I heard there was an embarrassing incident.

I didn't expect it, which made it all the more embarrassing.

She's not very composed.

I'm sure she was just nervous,

unlike how she usually is.

Anyway, due to the big commotion earlier today,

we couldn't talk properly.

Can you give me her number?

Are you going to meet her again?

Yes.

I'd like to have an in-depth conversation with her.

Why? Are you against it?

Gosh, no.

How about this? Maybe we can all get together.

I'll make a proper introduction.

And take time off your busy schedule?

It's not like we're complete strangers.

Still, my being there...

will help her relax...

and make it easier for you to talk to her.

Fine. Do as you please.

You've met her before, but let me properly introduce her.

This is the CEO of Eagle Brewery,

Ma Kwang Sook.

Hello, ma'am. I'm Ma Kwang Sook.

I'm a great pleasure to see you again.

The last time we met, I caused you a lot of trouble.

Stop. That's okay.

Let bygones be bygones.

You should sit.

Sure. Go ahead.

And this is...

Ms. Park Jung Soo, my mother-in-law.

I was planning to introduce you to her...

if we ever traveled to the US.

She happened to be in town,

so I arranged this dinner for us.

It's a pleasure to meet you once again.

Isn't it tiring to manage a brewery?

The work is tough,

but thanks to my brothers' help,

it's been enjoyable.

Your brothers, as in...

I didn't get a chance to tell you,

but she's talking...

about her late husband's younger brothers.

How many are there?

Four in total.

That's more than a few.

Do they all work at the brewery?

Not really.

I'd prefer to hear this...

from CEO Ma rather than from you.

Oh, of course.

Right.

The eldest brother-in-law...

is both my colleague and the brewery's vice-CEO.

The other three brothers...

are building their own careers in different fields.

One works as a college professor,

another is in the F and B industry, and...

I'd rather you not say anything.

Right.

Please excuse me for a moment. I need to take this important call.

Go ahead.

I'm not going to object to you two dating.

Thank you.

However,

I'm against the two of you marrying.

Sorry?

Being the pure soul he is,

Dong Seok won't consider other matters.

But I must, since I'm the children's grandmother.

CEO Ma Kwang Sook, was it?

Yes.

You see,

I don't see you as someone who can replace my daughter.

While her position has much to offer,

it also demands responsibilities of equal weight.

It does not suit you at all.

Right, we'll do that. Sure.

What I said...

will be kept between us for now.

Anyway, since we're here,

we might as well share a meal before we part ways.

(For Eagle Brothers)

You've got to be kidding me.

An ex-mother-in-law...

has no business getting involved in her son-in-law's marriage.

It's Chun Soo. He's marrying Mi Sun.

Everyone, applaud!

How dare she play house, pretending to be my baby's mom?

If you don't have any other plans, come home early today.

I have something to say to you and the children.

Kwang Sook?

Hello? What happened?
