What do you think of Kang Mi Ri?

Pardon?

What do you think of her as a daughter-in-law?

Why don't we change the plan...

and marry Tae Ju...

to Kang Mi Ri?

Mr. Chairman.

What are you so surprised about?

It's an alternative that is worth considering.

Why would you suggest such an alternative?

No matter how hard I think,

I can't think of the way to stop Tae Ju.

He is so stubborn since he was a child.

Think about it. He quit studying aboard...

and came back to Korea at his will.

He got part-time jobs...

under the name of social experience.

Mr. Chairman.

And things turned out like this...

because we couldn't stop Tae Ju in the first place.

But this is a different matter.

Marriage is a major life event.

And it will bring a profound effect...

to our group in the future.

Then...

which group's daughter will you match him with?

Forget it.

Do you think Tae Ju will listen to us?

And this is the most important thing.

Our family doesn't have many offspring.

And there's a big chance that helpless kid...

might become a puppet of his wife's family.

I'd rather...

have him married to a smart woman...

and have her assist Tae Ju by his side.

Mr. Chairman, but...

Look at me.

You've become a big help to this family.

Although you nag and stress me out sometimes,

I received a great benefit from you.

And I admit that.

I'm sure Kang Mi Ri could become like you.

So consider...

Kang Mi Ri...

as a daughter-in-law.

A relationship that you're my half,

my family,

my lover,

and my everything.

That's what I want.

So, Ms. Kang,

let's get married.

You're home, Ms. Jeon.

Mother.

How could you do this to me?

How could you...

I've put everything into you.

How can you stab a dagger in your mother's heart...

just because of a woman?

You ungrateful punk!

Mother.

You.

Don't call me Mother.

I'm not your mother anyway.

I know.

I know how your family thinks of me.

It must be the same for you.

Am I wrong?

Please, Mother.

This is a different matter.

No, it's not.

All this time, just like a bone...

stuck in the throat, I was always conscious...

of my position and existence in this family.

But with you,

I was happy I didn't have to think about all that.

But come to think of it, you are no different.

You are one of them.

You are just like them.

Mother.

Ms. Kang is someone important to me.

So you must listen to me.

Who was the most important person in your life?

It was me.

And you were the only one I had too.

I dedicated my everything...

to make you a perfect successor.

Fine.

Whatever you do with Ms. Kang,

suit yourself.

I have neither background nor connections.

I can simply cut ties with this family.

Mother, please.

I'll call Ms. Kang in and tell her everything.

Who you are,

what we have in mind, and everything.

Then I'll ask what Ms. Kang thinks.

I'll do anything you want...

and take my hands off. That's decided.

No, you can't do that.

Please, Mother.

Don't say anything about me to Ms. Kang.

I'm going to reveal it myself.

That's how I'll keep my courtesy to her.

Tae Ju.

If you make a move first,

I'll never see you again.

Calm down...

and take a rest now.

I'll come see you again.

May I go in for a second?

Yes.

Were you packing?

Yes.

I heard you're going to China...

regarding the negotiation with Chairwoman Wang.

That's right.

When are you leaving?

In two days.

I started packing early...

because there are so many things to take.

I knew you would, so I bought...

some necessary goods for your business trip.

Gosh, this is just as I expected.

You shouldn't pack your stuff like this.

It's okay. I can do it myself.

Don't stop me. I will do it for you.

I'm really good at this kind of stuff.

Leave this up to me,

and get all the documents.

I'm 100 percent sure you'll do a good job...

if you don't get nervous.

What are you doing?

Okay.

All right.

I told you to stop taking that medicine.

You might develop a tolerance.

What can I do then?

The constipation is making me so frustrated.

Eat a lot of vegetables...

and exercise.

I'm too busy to exercise.

I don't even have time to die.

That's why you shouldn't work too much.

You know what "YOLO" means, right?

So enjoy your life a little.

What was that?

"YOLO".

It's trendy these days.

It stands for "You Only Live Once".

You only live once,

so you should live for yourself.

All right, you're well-informed.

I'm just telling you to live for yourself.

Of course, I want to live for myself.

But why would people be born in the first place...

if they were born to live only for themselves?

They should rather be wandering souls alone...

instead of being born into this world.

The weather is getting hot already,

and the year might come to an end in a minute.

The thought of Mi Ri and Mi Hye gives me insomnia.

In the past, parents were criticized for keeping...

their daughters single after the age of 25.

Why aren't girls getting married early these days?

But Mi Ri is seeing a man.

The man from the other day.

I met him again...

on my recent visit to her company.

He's nicer the more I see him.

Really?

Yes.

But she hates it whenever I bring up marriage.

What can I do?

Then marry Mi Hye off first.

- Mi Hye? - Yes.

She's got Jae Bum.

Take care of what's certain first.

But she's acting a little strange these days.

What?

What's the relationship between Jae Bum and her?

What are you talking about?

Of course, they're going to get married...

after how much time they spent together.

Right? You think so too?

But she puts on makeup these days...

which is very unusual.

Maybe she wants to look pretty to Jae Bum.

She's mean to him. She hits him too.

What?

It's strange.

You're still here.

Yes, hello.

Why are you still here?

I can't focus at home,

so I want to write here a little more.

It's getting too late though.

Are you going to sleep over here again tonight?

Yes.

I see.

I like the episode that you gave me a while ago.

This should be enough of the introduction...

for "Women at the Ox-bone Soup Restaurant".

Good job.

Thank you.

I'll continue to write tomorrow then.

Get ready to go. I'll give you a ride.

What?

Why aren't you saying anything?

What?

I said, why aren't you saying anything?

You usually chirp so much.

What are you talking about?

I've been talking so much.

Why are you laughing?

Why do you laugh every time you see me?

Do I look that funny to you?

Forget it.

Let's just go without talking.

It's better you don't talk.

By the way,

why do you rarely go home?

Mr. Kim.

Whether my home or the office, it's the same.

Why is it the same?

Don't you live with anyone?

What about your family?

Ms. Kang.

Yes?

You keep doing this since we were in Hwangsung,

but don't be curious about me.

There's nothing much to say about me,

nor is it interesting.

Well,

I was just saying out of courtesy.

We're here.

(Han Cheon Ox-bone Soup)

The background of your book.

What are you waiting for? Get off.

Fine.

I won't be curious about you,

so you should get off too.

What?

Why?

Just do as I say.

Back up, back up!

Back up.

What are you waiting for? Back up already.

Turn your wheel to the right.

The garage is over there.

Have a seat.

What are you trying to do?

Let's eat together.

Eat?

I know you haven't eaten all day today.

You've only had 13 cups of coffee.

Were you counting them?

So you didn't focus on writing.

I became sensitive...

because you kept drinking coffee next to me.

Anyway, it will be tiresome for me...

if you pass away while I'm writing,

so I'm going to feed you.

Stay seated here. I'll go get you some food.

Why is this brat...

still not home?

She hasn't called either.

Where's my phone?

Where did I put it?

Now eat up.

- The utensils... - It's fine. They're here.

What are you looking at? You've never seen...

an ox-bone soup restaurant owner's third daughter?

Try the kimchi.

My mom made it with the salted shrimp you gave us.

I'm grateful that you care,

but why are you so interested if I eat?

I told you already.

If you're to die, who am I to sign with?

Right.

What?

Anyway, it's my first meal of the day.

It's nice.

Where did I leave my phone?

I must have dementia.

- Who are you? - Mom.

Who...

Mom, say hi.

My chief editor, Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim, meet my mom.

Hello, Mother. I'm Kim Woo Jin.

Oh, hello, how are you?

What brings you here at this time of...

- My gosh. - Why are you out in that?

Will you go home? Go.

Why are you shoving me?

- Go home. - Stop it.

Stop pushing me.

Why did that brat bring a guy over so late?

Did she say he's her chief editor?

Gosh, I embarrassed myself,

showing up in my pajamas.

Why did she try to kick me out anyway?

I enjoyed that. See you tomorrow.

Why don't you finish your food?

I'm so sorry.

I'd been in bed, you see.

Mom, I'll deal with it. Can you just go home?

Will you keep still? Stop trying to send me home.

Will you just go home, Mom?

I should greet such a special guest.

I apologize.

I was asleep before I came down earlier.

I'm sorry you saw me like that.

It's okay.

I'm sorry for shocking you by coming over so late.

Why would you apologize, Mr. Kim?

It's all my silly girl's fault.

Why are you eating so late...

You served a special guest...

just a bowl of ox-bone soup?

It's fine. We came by for a quick meal...

after working late.

Mom, can you just go home?

I won't. You keep quiet.

I'll get some boiled meat.

No, Mother, I'm done.

You really don't have to mind.

Yes. Who eats meat this late at night?

Really?

Then do you want some more soup?

Our broth is very nice.

Okay then.

I'll have a little more soup.

Okay then. Give me a few minutes.

Mom, what is wrong with you?

Mom, I'll do it.

Go home.

Shut up and go and sit down.

You're such a nuisance.

[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E39 'Mother of Mine' "In Suk & Tae Ju Having a Conflict" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What are you doing?

Eat up.

Our radish kimchi is amazing.

Mr. Kim, drive back safely.

See you tomorrow.

(Han Cheon Ox-bone Soup)

- You. Come here. - Mom.

Mom, wait.

- Come in. - Don't.

- Stand over there. - What's wrong?

Tell me the truth.

What's your relationship with that guy?

He's not a guy to me. He's my chief editor.

Why would you feed your chief editor so late?

That sounded so mean.

We skipped dinner to work late.

Can't I bring him in for a meal?

- You worked late? - Yes.

What's the matter with you?

Why did you put radish kimchi on his food?

Why did you put radish kimchi...

on your chief editor's food?

When did I do that for him?

What? You're lying now?

I'm not lying.

I didn't put radish kimchi on his food.

Then why are you going as red as radish kimchi?

- That's... - That's what?

Because it was spicy. You added...

too much chili powder and made it spicy.

What?

Whatever. I'm going to bed.

Hey, Kang Mi Hye. Hey.

I have no idea what she's thinking.

Fine. I'll move out.

The commoner must leave.

How could the lofty madam move out?

Even so, how could she call her husband that?

A commoner?

Fine, I'm a commoner.

I'm your servant.

I worked to support her since we got married...

and all she can say to me now is that?

Let's see how well you manage on your own.

How should I sort this out?

It's driving me crazy.

I worked all my life,

and all I have left...

are those three outfits...

and these three books.

Gandhi, whom I respect.

"The Critical Biography of Gandhi".

"The Second World War".

"What Is Democracy?"

Yes.

I'll take these three books.

Live on your own now, Ha Mi Ok.

Oh, right.

On my way out,

I'll put up this apartment for sale.

Just so you know.

One more thing.

You do remember...

that this apartment is in both our names, right?

The moment it's sold,

you and I will halve the money equally.

Don't you dream of keeping it to yourself.

Okay?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

I should leave first, not you.

This isn't how it works.

Everything has been taken care of, ma'am.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- It's me. - Hi.

What are you doing?

I'm working.

It's soon lunchtime.

Let's talk.

Why won't you answer?

Do you remember the cafe we met?

Meet me there.

What is it now?

What's wrong?

Kyung Jin, I need to go out at lunchtime.

Why? Where to?

I'm going out first today.

It's our turn to eat first today.

Yes. I'm hungry.

Sorry. I'll buy something nice tomorrow, okay?

I have to talk to Mother about her private life.

Her private life?

Go ahead, Mother.

You still call me "Mother" whenever you must.

Even though I'm evil.

I said...

I'm sorry for saying that.

Can you stop complaining about the past?

Anyway, let's not talk about that.

The reason I asked to see you is...

I'm listening. Go ahead.

What you saw last night.

Oh, that.

Don't get the wrong idea.

There's nothing going on...

between him and me.

He's just an instructor...

who teaches me pottery.

It's like...

In an emotional and artistic way,

we are like...

friends of one mind.

That's right. We are like soulmates.

It's not like what you are thinking.

I've never thought that way.

"That way"?

Yes.

"That way"?

"That way"? What are you talking about?

You just said it yourself.

You said it's not like what I'm thinking.

What?

Oh, did I say that?

Anyway.

I'm just telling you.

Don't you dare try to hold a sword over my head.

Why would I hold a sword over your head?

You could have a boyfriend.

I'm not an old-fashioned bigot, Mother.

My gosh.

What are you talking about?

He's not my boyfriend.

Who do you think I am?

Mother, to be honest,

I don't even care...

if you have a boyfriend or not.

It's already hard enough for me...

to work and raise Da Bin at the same time.

You know that.

So please don't worry about me...

and go back home.

I won't tell Jin Soo about yesterday.

That's right. You should never tell him about it.

And...

your father.

Sure.

Men would never understand.

I'm a woman just like you.

I understand how you feel.

So please don't worry and go home, Mother.

I'm busy today. If I don't finish my work on time,

I'll have to work overtime.

I should get going then.

Go home safely.

Wait, Mi Sun.

What now?

I'm really busy.

Who did you ask to look after Da Bin today?

What?

Who's looking after Da Bin today?

Hey, isn't Mi Sun back yet?

No.

Can we go to eat lunch now?

Sure.

Why isn't she coming back?

She's right here.

Why are you so late?

Aren't you going to eat?

Are you crying?

I think she's laughing.

No way. She's got nothing to laugh about.

Hey, get up.

Are you all right? What's wrong?

My gosh.

Have you lost your mind?

Gosh, she's gone crazy.

She's crazy because she can't find a babysitter.

- You poor thing. - My gosh.

Ms. Kang.

Is there anything funny?

No, that's not it.

My goodness.

Where did it go?

Where is it...

Where are my undershirts, socks,

and underpants? They should be in here.

Did she throw them out?

I really need them when I leave the house.

Let's get inside.

Wash your hands and have some snacks.

All right.

What did you eat at Joo Ri's, Da Bin?

I had some milk and cookies.

I see. I'll give you some fruit then.

Put down your bag and go wash your hands.

- Okay. - Good girl.

By the way, he's still being like this?

My gosh. What is this?

"What Is Democracy?"

"The Critical Biography of Gandhi".

"The Second World War?"

My gosh.

Democracy, my foot.

Gosh.

What are you doing?

Why are you still here?

I'm going to leave this house now.

But I have a question to ask you.

What question? What is it now?

I'm going to leave this house.

But I can't...

But what?

My undershirts, underpants, and socks.

And my razor. Where are they?

- Go find them. - Gosh.

What?

You know where they are. Go find them.

Here. These are your undershirts.

Your underpants.

And socks.

Your razor is in the bathroom.

It can't be in here.

But why are you throwing them like that?

You could've given them to me more nicely.

For the past decades you've lived with me,

you've never taken out...

your underpants and socks...

on your own.

You can't even get out of the house...

without my help.

And now what? You're leaving the house?

You just packed some shirts from the closet...

and three books. That's all you have.

What did you say?

Excuse me.

I'm the one who's served as a slave the whole time.

Why are you being like this?

I'm going to leave this house.

Now that you gave me my stuff,

I'm leaving soon.

Grandma, I washed my hands.

You did? Good girl.

Let's go eat some fruit then.

Da Bin, when did you come?

- Grandpa, hello. - What?

Let's go, Da Bin.

What's going on?

Gosh.

Here, Da Bin.

- Enjoy it. - Yes.

You're so sweet.

Here. Try some.

What is going on?

What makes her...

look after Da Bin again?

Did you guys enjoy your lunch?

Hello, Junior Managing Director Kang.

What are you talking about?

There's a rumor all over the company.

At the regular personnel appointment next week,

you'll be promoted to Junior Managing Director.

So I called you like that.

Stop talking that nonsense.

And don't be swayed by some rumors.

You know I have a business trip to China tomorrow.

- Yes. - Yes.

Before I leave,

if there's any report I should check,

finish them and send me an email within today.

Ms. Lee, please check the contract terms...

from Wang Wei again and get back to me.

Yes, Ms. Kang.

I know she can't wait to be promoted too.

Hey, Mr. Park. Will you stop?

Look, look.

He's going into her office again.

I'm sure something's going on with him.

I'm sure she's becoming Junior Managing Director.

Fine. So that's how you'll advance in life.

Mr. Park.

Tae Ju.

What is this?

My resignation letter.

Please accept it.

Tae Ju, is it because...

No.

I'm not stepping back.

I'm still...

waiting for your answer to my proposal.

I'm quitting in order to marry you.

If you accept it,

I'll tell you something.

Please accept it.

(Episode 40 will air shortly.)

(Episode 40)

I don't understand your intention.

Because I said I don't want to marry,

are you protesting against me?

Are you threatening me with resignation letter?

I'm not protesting.

And I'm not threatening you.

Didn't I tell you?

I'm still waiting for you to answer.

I won't give up. I won't give up on you.

Then why did you submit your resignation letter?

Only then...

will I be able to marry you at ease.

If one hand is tied,

neither you nor I can do nothing.

I don't want to stand in your way.

"Stand in my way"?

Is it because Ms. Jeon found out about us?

So are you trying to keep out of this?

That's not it.

Let's go inside.

Ms. Kang.

Although I've started out as your subordinate,

I'm quite capable and confident.

Even if I quit Hansung company,

I can start over.

And you are a very competent person.

It's time for you to open your wings and fly.

You do your best in your place.

And I do my best in my place.

Let's not be affected by anyone...

and determine our future ourselves.

So...

Once again,

I don't feel confident about marriage.

Why is that?

I tried not to talk...

about this ever.

My mom...

abandoned me.

My mom is not...

my birth mom.

My birth mom...

abandoned me after my dad passed away...

and became poor.

On one snowy day,

she abandoned her daughter...

in front of the ox-bone soup restaurant,

rode a car of the rich man, and left.

Actually, being abandoned is nothing.

I wasn't...

raised under a mean stepmother...

nor a cold-hearted family.

Fortunately, I met a great family...

and lived happily.

So I can just put it aside.

But it's not easy.

I've suffered my whole life under that shadow.

No matter hard I try, I can't get away.

No matter how hard I study,

how hard I work,

that memory floods into my mind like a nightmare.

It tortures me.

Although people admire and praise highly of me,

I don't compliment myself. Do you know why?

Because I know myself.

I was an abandoned kid.

Ms. Kang.

I lived my entire life...

under an inferiority complex.

As you know,

I behave keenly, perfectly, and wickedly...

to people and in every business.

If you have someone like this by your side,

you'd feel exhausted and frustrated.

In the end,

it will make us unhappy.

Ms. Kang, we can overcome that.

Hold on a second and calm down.

Let's calm down and take time to talk about this.

No.

Nothing can resolve this problem.

I won't be able to...

resolve this problem until I die.

I have tried.

I tried to look at things positively.

I tried to live my life in gratitude.

Now...

I understand why she abandoned me.

I must've been nasty, annoying,

and useless.

That she couldn't bear the sight of me.

I must've been nasty to make a mom abandon me.

I can't get away from it. I can't forget about it.

All this time,

I was never proud of myself.

I never thought great about myself.

And that didn't change.

I'm a useless person.

No, you're not, Ms. Kang.

Ms. Kang.

I see, Director Park.

I will see you at Mr. Chairman's office.

What? He submitted his resignation letter?

Yes, Mr. Han...

personally contacted me today.

That little rascal.

Then does that mean...

he's seriously going to become helpless...

and look after and live off Kang Mi Ri?

Ms. Jeon, what are you going to do about this?

Are you just going to sit there all day long?

You should assign Tae Ju on a new position...

at the next personnel appointment.

What was that?

We will decide...

about Kang Mi Ri after that.

What are you going to do?

When things are too complex, we need to...

disentangle it with the simplest solution.

We must set things...

back to their place and talk.

A newbie's immature romance...

towards his boss should end here.

We have to make them see the reality.

Tae Ju has...

his own reality.

And Ms. Kang has her own reality.

That's also a good plan.

Mr. Chairman.

I wonder how Kang Mi Ri will react...

after Tae Ju's true identity is revealed.

That's going to be something to watch.

Ms. Jeon.

What are you going to do about this?

He doesn't seem to end things with Ms. Kang...

even after getting appointed as an executive.

I know...

Ms. Kang.

If she finds out that Tae Ju is my son,

she'll give up.

She's never the type who'll step forward.

Why?

Because...

she despises me.

She will never...

want to live like me.

Thank you.

I feel much relieved now.

I'd never told anyone...

about what I told you last night.

Even to my mom who raised me...

or my sisters.

Thank you.

Since last night, I feel like...

I've become someone who means a lot to you.

This morning,

I submitted your resignation letter...

to Director Park.

Now I...

understand what you want.

So...

Thank you for understanding.

I have...

something to tell you too.

What is it?

When you come back from your business trip,

I'll tell you then.

Okay.

Thanks to you,

I'll feel relieved too.

Have a safe trip.

Thanks.

I'll come pick you up when you come back.

Hurry on.

It's hectic inside, so I'll go in alone.

Be careful on your trip, okay?

What, you're going on a business trip?

Yes.

So why are you calling me now?

I'm sorry. I've been too busy.

Besides, it's only for two days.

Whether it's 2 or 3 days,

you should call me before you go anywhere.

That is why I'm calling you now.

You should come see me too.

But I'm coming back in two days.

I'll go straight to see you when I come back.

Don't come, brat.

I'll go see you.

And I am...

going to...

bring someone.

Who?

Whom are you bringing?

Anyway, that's all I can tell you for now.

Feed us when we go see you, okay?

I'll get going then.

I love you, Mom.

I just kissed you.

Mi Ri.

Whom are you bringing?

Tell me who it is so I can decide whether to...

Hey. Mi Ri!

What's wrong?

Mi Ri is going on a business trip.

- A business trip? - Yes.

She's coming back in two days,

and she's bringing someone here that evening.

Who?

I don't know. She wants me to cook for them.

She's bringing someone?

Oh, hey!

It's that young man!

- That young man? - Yes!

The one with fair skin and dark eyebrows.

He had nice lips...

and a muscular body. It's that young man.

He called a taxi for me...

when I went to see Mi Ri in her office.

My gosh. I guess Mi Ri is getting married.

She's getting married?

Yes.

Hurray, Korea. Hurray!

Calm down, Sun Ja.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

I'm not jumping to conclusions.

It's my gut feeling that tells me so.

Hold on.

Do you think I should wear hanbok that day?

What about her wedding gifts?

- Oh, gosh. - Goodness.

I'm so happy.

This is exciting.

When my eldest sister first introduced us...

to her husband,

I was a college student,

and Mi Ri was a newbie at Hansung Group.

So, what is your name?

It's Jin Soo.

I told you a lot about him.

You, stay quiet.

Yes, Mother. My name is Jung Jin Soo.

I'm the older brother of Mi Sun's friend, Jin Joo.

I'm just a year older than her.

He's Jin Joo's older brother.

This is crazy.

Like a destiny, we work at the same bank.

I actually gave my full support...

in her joining the bank.

I'm the one behind her employment success.

Yes, Mother.

Don't call me mother.

I'm not your mother-in-law yet.

Come on, Mom.

His mother is so good to me.

She thinks I'm like her own daughter.

When I went to his house,

his mother let me find myself totally at home.

Isn't she so nice?

Mom.

I love him,

but I love his mother so much.

She's such a sophisticated lady.

Look at you, immature brat.

What are you waiting for?

Get a cup of tea for him or something.

[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E40 'Mother of Mine' "Tae Ju Gets Appointed as an Executive" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Can I...

treat you like my brother-in-law?

Of course, you can.

Jae Bum, when did you come?

This is crazy.

Jae Bum is everywhere in my story.

What is it? Are you stuck?

Well...

I'm not so satisfied with the plot.

I'm writing the story in my perspective,

and some useless character keeps butting in.

It makes me hard to organize characters.

It's the story of a mother and her daughters...

based on your family.

It's someone else.

By the way,

why do you never mention your father?

What?

Aren't you going to talk about him in your book?

My dad?

Well, I'm sorry if it was rude of me.

No, it's fine.

My dad...

I'm sorry to say this,

but at least in this book,

he isn't a main character,

but rather an extra.

He died too soon.

My mom and my sisters were so good...

that I didn't feel his void.

And...

I was a lot braver than others too.

I see.

That doesn't mean I don't miss him.

I miss him a lot, actually.

But...

this book is like a dedication...

from the immature youngest family member...

to her ladies.

So...

What is it?

You finally...

seem like an adult.

What?

How were you thinking of me all this time then?

You just said it yourself.

The immature youngest daughter.

The youngest sister.

I can't believe this.

I'm an adult.

A mature female adult.

Why are you laughing? It's upsetting.

You are a woman?

What?

Well...

Yes. You are a woman.

Mi Hye, you are...

a woman.

I suddenly feel hot.

It's hot in here.

(Air conditioning)

That's the air conditioner?

It's so pretty.

It's cooling the air right away.

This is great.

Did you...

just get it because summer's coming?

Your family sent it.

What?

We should've sent them a gift,

but they sent us one instead.

Because you suffer a lot in the summer.

Mr. Bang sent it.

What?

That's odd.

She would never agree to care for Da Bin.

Why would someone who called me a servant...

and asked me for a divorce...

decided to care for Da Bin again?

Why?

I knew it.

She left the kid alone...

and went out somewhere.

My goodness.

Da Bin.

Where's your grandma?

She went to the store.

The store?

Yes. To get me some snacks.

Your snacks? Really?

Yes.

My gosh. Master.

Hello, Ms. Ha.

Hello.

Goodness. What happened?

How did you hurt your leg?

You were fine just yesterday.

I was fine just yesterday.

But we human beings can't tell...

what will happen the next second.

Why are you here...

when you hurt your leg?

I have something for you.

Are you really all right?

Yes.

How big are the apartments...

in this block?

Pardon?

The apartment's size.

Oh, well, I'm not sure.

I think...

they range from 80m² to 200m².

200m²?

Yes.

I see.

I just don't get it.

Why did Mom suddenly agree to watch Da Bin?

Is there a secret?

Like what?

We just buried the hatchet.

Even if you did,

Mom's not the kind of person...

to give in just like that.

You're her son.

Why do you think so negatively about her?

What?

You hated her even more.

It's in the past. Forget about it.

Just think...

that Mother is actually very lonely.

That's all it is.

You're a terrible son.

I'm so glad I didn't have a boy.

What would've happened?

Wait for me.

What?

3,000 dollars?

You said it's a gift.

It is.

My intention was to give it as a gift.

But Ms. Ha, I suddenly...

got into an accident.

That's why it's yours for only 3,000 dollars.

It's actually...

worth another zero at the end.

But Master, I...

Ms. Ha.

Don't you love my artistic spirit?

I do,

but all I loved was purely...

You were the only person...

who acknowledged me.

Please help me out here.

I hurt my leg...

but can't afford the surgery.

Please help me.

- Don't do this. - Ms. Ha.

Please help me, Ms. Ha.

Oh, dear.

Isn't that Mi Ok?

Is that jerk holding her hand?

Hey!

Honey, I...

You have guts.

No...

What are you doing,

holding hands within the complex?

- No, we... - Forget it.

Who's this fool?

With long hair in a ponytail?

Hey, you.

If you were in a dress,

I'd think you were her friend at least.

Hey.

You brought crutches...

and took out a chamber pot?

Are you two throwing a party?

- No... - What? A chamber pot?

What's the matter?

Sir. Watch your language.

What's the matter with him?

- Are you drunk? - Your leg...

- Are you... - Oh, dear.

- It hurts. - My gosh.

What a joke.

Mi Ok.

Why are you concerned about his leg?

It's not like that.

He's putting on a show.

You make up a sob story...

and walk about with crutches...

to sell chamber pots and bowls...

to people who show you pity?

You fool. Get up.

What's going on?

Isn't that Mom and Dad?

- Honey. - I can't get up.

- You can't? - I'm injured.

- I won't get up. - You won't get up?

Honey. Honey.

Father! No! Don't do that!

- Honey, it's not that. - Father, stop it.

You can't do this.

- Calm down, Father. - Dad.

- Hey. - Father.

Goodness!

See? I didn't even touch him...

and he fell right back.

Fools like him need a good lesson.

- Honey! Oh, dear. - Dad, Dad!

Honey, don't break that!

Get up, you fool. Get up.

- If you break that... - Dad!

you have to pay 3,000 dollars!

What chamber pot costs 3,000 dollars?

Dad!

Didn't you buy too much?

I need to prepare.

I can't have a guest over and serve nothing.

Sun Ja.

What if it's not a guy she's bringing over?

If Mi Ri doesn't bring the guy we met last time,

do we get to eat all this?

My gut instinct is correct.

I know right away.

Well, I don't know.

Even if you get hurt, that's not my fault.

I'll marry Mi Ri off

Then I'll marry off Mi Hye and Jae Bum

Oh, well.

I do hope she's right.

We discussed enough and I heard your opinions.

Here's my decision.

Senior Managing Directors Choi Hyun Kyu...

and Park Jin Sung...

will be appointed as the Directors...

of Management Support Team and Finance Team.

Production Management Team's...

General Manager Kim Jae Wook...

will be promoted to the Junior Managing Director.

That way he can monitor production and quality.

Do you all agree?

- Yes. - Yes.

Ms. Jeon, what about...

the General Director of Marketing?

Who will you appoint?

Isn't it obvious who'll take that position?

There's Ms. Kang of Marketing Team.

That's right. She's young,

but due to that advantage,

she reacts to the fashion trends of much quicker.

I agree.

Based on her skills, performance,

and reputation in the company and out,

there's no one who's better qualified.

Ms. Jeon, why don't you make the announcement?

I also...

am very aware of...

Ms. Kang's capabilities.

However, unfortunately,

that position is not to be hers.

Han Tae Ju from Marketing Team...

will become the Junior Managing Director...

and take over the duties...

as the General Director of Marketing.

- What? - Han Tae Ju?

I know you're all surprised,

but it's Mr. Chairman's order.

We had some reasons.

What they were,

you will find out in time.

Make the announcement when you are ready.

(Director Park)

Hello?

Will the promotion result be announced tomorrow?

When would that be?

You have nothing to do with the promotion result.

Why would you keep talking about it?

We'd have a get-together to congratulate Ms. Kang.

Tae Ju, aren't you going home?

Tae Ju!

You didn't bring your bag.

Tae Ju!

I guess you were in a hurry.

Dad!

I'm still your dad even if you don't call me that.

And you're still my son.

So I just want to tell the world the truth.

What's the matter?

Dad.

But how...

It's all your fault.

How dare you try to quit without telling me?

Do you think you can disown me just like that?

Does it change the fact that you're my son?

How dare you try those petty tricks?

You'll stop being a mere employee tomorrow.

You'll be an executive.

Instead of Kang Mi Ri.

I won't.

I will never do that.

You definitely have the guts.

What if I will harass Kang Mi Ri?

Dad.

Do you think...

everything will be over as I fire her?

You tend to underestimate your dad.

If you didn't hand in your resignation letter,

I was going to let you two date.

But look what you've done while you were with her.

Resignation?

Do you think you're shooting a film?

And about Kang Mi Ri.

She's a mature and experienced manager.

But look what she's doing with you.

That's what I did...

Shut your mouth.

You greenhorn.

A rough-and-tumble amateur who sees nothing of life.

Do as I tell you or else.

Take off that cheap suit right away...

and give a smooth to your hair.

Make sure you obviously look like my son.

Otherwise,

the girl who's your boss...

or your girlfriend...

will be ostracized from the industry.

I'll make her a vulgar boss...

who fooled around with her young subordinate,

so she has no place in the field.

And...

that won't be the end of it.

I want you to remember that.

I believe you do.

(Ms. Kang Mi Ri)

Roaming.

The receiver cannot be reached.

Roaming.

Please.

The receiver cannot be reached.

(The new personnel appointment is announced.)

(Appointment Announcement)

(Han Tae Ju)

(Junior Managing Director)

(Mother of Mine)

What is going on?

Where is Tae Ju?

I'll change my direction in life from today.

The meeting is fun with the young executive.

What if Ms. Kang passes out?

She must be frustrated.

Is something wrong with Mi Ri?

You don't have to worry, Sun Ja.

What's wrong?

I will never let this slide.

And do you still think you are her son?

We're so ashamed because of you.

I've rarely seen Woo Jin smile like that.

I can't help but smile.

You wench.

Don't say that you're my mom.

I'll be out of your life as you wish.

You didn't expect Mi Ri to be like this?

Now, I came to my senses.

I'll be the next generation...

owner after all.
