Give me your hands.

It's okay.

Is it your marriage ring?

Your wife must be happy to have an attentive husband.

I read an article that you met her in America and married there.

And you let her continue her study for the love of her, right?

Why are you still single?

I know.

Guess I was busy living my life.

Oh, I'm bleeding.

Seems the hen pecked at you.

Let me see?

I'm okay.

Let me see.

Are you daring or reckless?

You didn't know you were being pecked?

That was close.

Time is the bigger deal than my scratch.

Hurry, let's go. I have to try the new menu.

Alright, ma'am. What shall I tell you first?

Yes.

With this, I can finish both Minjoon and Lena Jeong.

Such a weakling.

When Minjoon and I were at your age, we could drink gallons of liquor.

You can't succeed with that mettle.

You need to start over at the bottom.

With whose permission?

I didn't give birth to him to see him suffer.

Mr. Taesoo Park,

...you will have no choice but to do this.

Oh, there you are!

Why didn't you answer? I looked for you.

Hi. I was going over something.

What are these?

Remember I told you about the hospital site in Qingdao?

I know you don't want to put too many irons in the fire...

but Dr. Choi already signed the paper.

So why don't you...

Honey.

I made it clear that Jaejoon is too soft-hearted to run a hospital.

Spending money on the hospital will be a waste of money.

Break the contract and just wait.

Are you going to discriminate your kids like this?

What?

You encouraged and supported Minjoon when he started business,

...but you put Jaejoon down before he even starts.

Your favoritism might break his spirit.

Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

Have I ever asked you a favor for Jaejoon?

I've endured a lot for the peace in the family but this is too much.

Tell me. What's so wrong with him?

Well, listen.

He became a doctor because you wanted to have a doctor son.

He also flew to Taiwan to date a girl because you told him to.

He does whatever you tell him. So why do you hate him so much?

That's the problem!

He is a man but he's so sissy and dependent to his parents!

With that soft mettle, what can he achieve in this tough world?

Then should he be like defiant Minjoon...

...who started business at will,

who married and divorced of his own accord?

Wasn't it enough for you to invest in his business?

Must you always put him before Jaejoon?

Are you done?

How could you draw the line between them?

Both Minjoon and Jaejoon are precious to me.

Every child is dear to his parents!

You are really disappointing me!

Disappointing? YOU are disappointing.

For our 30 years of married life, how have I treated you and Minjoon?

He still doesn't regard me as his mother...

...and keeps his distance from me.

But I've always smiled at him and put him before my own son!

Honey, listen.

Don't tell me to let it pass.

If you really regard them equally,

prove it to me before you support Minjoon.

Otherwise, I will never believe you! Do you understand?

Honey.

- Heera. - Heera.

My daughter, Heera. What's the matter?

Where are you going to go at this hour?

Right, it's late at night.

You really want to take it this far?

Don't raise your voice! It's your fault!

You should humbly beg for her forgiveness instead of yelling at her.

Stop her. Oh, Heera! Heera!

Let her go! She is not in her right mind.

Do as you like! Let's have it our ways!

How cold-hearted!

I cast pearl before swine.

Can't believe I gave my daughter to him. You're a devil!

Margherita is ready!

Taste it.

Margherita will add rich flavor to this.

Let's taste the upgraded taste of our top-selling pizza.

The cheese tastes really good with spicy chicken.

Yes.

This is the very taste.

I'm sure it'll receive a great response.

Oh, yes.

It'll go very well with a drink, too.

It's good.

We can do more sales in the evening if we release this.

Wait.

How about moving up the release date?

Meeting on 15th...

Oh, we're on a tight schedule.

Can I ask you a quiz?

Quiz?

Guess you're poor at Korean history since you lived abroad.

What are you talking about? I lived in Korea until I turned 20.

Then you can guess the answer.

Of all kings in Korean history, guess who held the lowest position.

The lowest position?

Let me think.

Yeonsangoon?

Kwanghaegoon? Uijawang?

Beep!

Your guesses are wrong.

The answer is...

the minimum wage.

Sorry for the lame joke.

I think you need a little balance.

I look like a workaholic, huh?

But I really feel rushed.

I worked frantically hard to achieve something in life.

But I always ended up empty-handed.

If I fail this time, my life will end up in failure.

I push ahead hard not to miss the chance.

I know how you think of me.

I'm frantic and reckless to your eyes.

That's fine. Just understand that I have a reason.

My service to you.

I'm so bitter and resentful!

This is ridiculous!

How dare he preach a homily to my daughter!

He's completely uneducated but she is an Ewha grad.

It's him who should listen to her!

I don't think so. Taesoo is right.

It's true Jaejoon is a bit too weak-hearted, isn't it?

How can you say that?

When we should close ranks and attack Taesoo, you're saying what?

Cut the crap and just pack up!

The person you have dialed is not available.

Dang it. Where on earth did she go?

I'm so resentful!

Changsoo, get the car ready!

Okay.

Where are you going this late at night?

You really don't know?

Hope you enjoy your solitary life in this big house.

I will go to my daughter...

...and make a living by ourselves.

We are history now.

Wait!

Are you adding oil to the fire?

What?

Okay, leave. But keep this in mind.

You are free to go but you can't come back at your will.

What? Is that a threat?

Yes, it's a threat. Go ahead, leave.

Leave my house.

What? You think I'm afraid?

What's wrong with this? Is it broken?

It won't move.

Changsoo, I think the wheels are broken.

Let's go back in.

They're turning well.

Listen, Taesoo.

I'm going back to my room when you told me to leave,

...but don't think I got scared by your threat.

Once I fix the wheels, I'll leave right away. Changsoo.

Go get a screwdriver and come in with this.

The wheels are fine.

Just shut up and come in!

We can leave. Mom!

By the way, where on earth has she gone?

It's dangerous at night.

Well, I've endured for 30 years. I can't give up now.

I will roust Minjoon and let Jaejoon have the hospital.

I worked frantically hard to achieve something in life.

But I always ended up empty-handed.

I dozed off again.

I always put my worst foot forward.

Thank you so much for today. Good night.

Lena.

You said your life might end up in failure if you fail this time.

That'll never happen.

This time, you have me by your side.

Thank you.

Drive safely.

What's wrong with me?

Why is my heart racing?

Get a grip.

You still didn't learn a lesson?

Men eat the orange and throw the peel away.

He's only a ladder for my success.

Is it your marriage ring?

I read an article about your love for your wife.

Excuse us.

We came to see if we can work here.

I don't hire inexperienced people.

I'm not inexperienced.

I made stuffed animals in Taiwan for 3 years.

And I picked bananas and pineapples there for 4 years.

Really?

So you have international experience.

Yes. If you give us a chance, we'll do anything.

Come on, don't say like an amateur.

Everybody in this Whiz Sideline is a pro.

Take a look around.

They seem to be whizzes.

Can we do it like they do?

Enough. You may leave.

Bastard.

I wonder if he is alright.

I almost scorched it!

It's done.

Where's my recipe notebook?

Esol, hurry. You might be late for job interviews.

Can't you knock? You scared me.

Oh, sorry. Hurry up. I'll go out.

Wait. Have you seen my recipe notebook?

I can't find it anywhere.

Hey.

Don't you think you're going too far?

Why? Oh, because I lost it?

No, it's not that. I'm a man.

How can you crawl around in your underwear in my presence?

You're not a man to me.

We used to swim in our skin and go to a bathhouse when little.

Hey!

I'm not who I used to be.

I'm a grown up, mature man!

What's wrong with him?

Is he at the awkward age?

By the way, where on earth has it gone?

Jaejoon, give me 30, or at least 10 minutes.

I need to explain what happened. Please.

Jaejoon,

your mom and dad had a big fight last night over your hospital.

I spoke with Mom. She needs some time alone.

Huh?

Why don't you act charming and pester your dad?

"Dad, can you set up a hospital for me? Please." Like this.

- Uncle Changsoo. - Yes?

Don't worry. They'll stop fighting over that matter.

What does he mean?

There's a bite in his words.

Why is it still on YouTube?

Didn't you ask the police to delete video clips?

I did.

Then why are some still on the Internet?

They keep spreading them.

Yura became famous overnight, "Water Bombed Club Girl!"

Be quiet. Did you tie Jaejoon's tongue?

Who knows?

Yura constantly called him but he didn't answer.

I'm going nuts.

No.

I'm not Hyejin if I back off here.

Heera is quiet, which means she doesn't know about it yet.

I must persuade Jaejoon once he comes to work.

Will he come to work?

He saw everything?

Shut the mouth.

But from a common-sense point of view...

One, two!

Yes. Did Dr. Park come to work?

Yes, he just went up.

Okay. The game is on.

Jaejoon.

I have to work. Please get out.

No. I came since you didn't answer the phone.

I know you're upset but please listen to me.

I'm not upset. I'll tell Dr. Choi everything.

Like what? You mean you'll break up with me?

Yura.

No! Please don't do that.

Don't be so petty.

Girls at my age go out on the razzle at a club.

I learned all sorts of dances since I was little.

Korean dance, ballet, jazz dance...

So when I hear music, my body moves in spite of myself.

I have to work.

No. You can't go!

You can't move an inch before you change your mind.

Yura.

Jaejoon, cut me some slack.

I will quit drinking and clubbing if you tell me not to.

If you break up with me, I'll be dead in my mom's hands.

Do you love me?

I'm sorry?

Do you love me enough to marry me?

Well...

I'm not mad at you.

On the contrary, I thank you.

We both were pushed to marry but...

you being honest with yourself encouraged me.

Let's break up for both of us.

Jaejoon.

Don't worry. I won't cause you damage.

Jaejoon, wait.

Break up? With whose permission?

You think it's possible?

Didn't you hear what she said?

She only danced at a club.

She was highlighted since she was outstanding.

She didn't have a fling with a man or have a dirty past.

Her dance at the club can't be a ground for breakup.

Right.

You're mutually at fault. You too had fun at the club.

Please accept my resignation.

Were you this foolish?

Can't you see what your breakup means?

Your marriage is not just about you and Yura...

...but more about business beyond the two families.

Yet, will you break up with her and neuter the great synergy...

...from your marriage just because you think she's ill-behaved?

Yes, I will break up with her.

I'd rather listen to my heart than hope to get a rake-off from the synergy.

What? Dr. Park!

I don't want to ruin your friendship with my mother.

I'll bear all the responsibility.

Thank you for everything.

Boy. He's manly.

What?

Well, you want me to bring him back?

One, two, three!

Don't. It won't work.

What's in your mind?

Can I break up with him?

Are you crazy?

Now I have no choice but to use the last card.

The last card? Like what?

You don't need to know.

So you lived in Taiwan.

Yes, I lived there for 6 years.

I got certificates for Chinese and Korean cuisines there.

Really. Seems you're industrious.

Why didn't you go to college then?

Excuse me?

I dropped out of college for family reasons.

I think field experience is as important as the school education.

I learned a lot from experience.

Her mother is half-educated. You can tell her backgrounds.

Really?

Well, you're dressed up today.

Can you dance before us?

Yes. It's written here your hobby is singing and dancing.

Show us.

Come on.

A good staff these days can liven up the mood.

Do you know 'Poison' by J.H. Uhm?

Poison.

Yes. I'll do my best.

Keep going.

You're making a fool out of me.

I really need a job so I came here in desperation.

Even though you're interviewers, how could you...

You know what?

You can't have the upper hand over me forever.

I might be back as your customer someday.

The person you have dialed is not available.

Mom, I have something to tell you.

Give me a call when you get this message.

Chef Esol Kang?

Esol Kang...

Esol Kang?

So you are Esol Kang.

Now I learned your real name.

Monthly Plan of Esol Kang. Go, Esol! You can do it!

There are so many things I want to do but I can't because of my family.

Do you have to do this job?

Doesn't it hurt your pride to sing before drunken men?

Sometimes, there are things to come before my pride.

It's good!

Paprika tastes different per color.

Mom, try it.

Paprika is good for your stress.

How indifferent!

How can you possibly eat when we haven't heard from Heera?

Yes, we have. She needs some time alone to think.

So what does she have to think about so long?

Perhaps, something bad happened to her.

She's pretty, she looks rich.

Someone might have kidnapped her.

Who would have kidnapped a middle-aged woman?

And she's so heavy you might break your back.

Sample menu fair? Already?

Yes, we'll release new menus next week with publicity.

You look full of confidence.

Seems Lena acts her part well.

I feel reassured.

If this new menus make a hit,

we can push into Shanghai right away.

Maybe next month...

Minjoon.

Actually, I called you in regarding that matter.

How about putting it off?

Things are messed up.

Your business expansion...

and Jaejoon's marriage came up all at once...

and it's beyond my limit.

Though I have money to burn,

it's too much for me to support you both.

So...

I see your point.

Support Jaejoon first.

I think Stepmother wishes it too,

though she didn't show it.

Well, it's not because she wishes it...

As long as you are happy, I'm fine.

Well, I'm really sorry.

I'll get back to work.

That's my boy. Very thoughtful.

That's why I trust him.

This is Spicy Chicken Margherita Pizza.

Have a taste.

It's great!

It has a grilled chicken taste.

Yes. It's spicy yet sweet, very inviting.

I think it'll make a big hit.

Ha. It's not different from the pizza I made.

Yes, it is.

Chicken meat is as chewy as cheese.

Did you use different chicken?

Yes.

The secret of this pizza lies in the meat.

See?

Shut up.

I know that much.

I think it'll bring us success with a good marketing.

Thank you for your hard work so far.

Thank you!

Guess the response was good.

Why yes.

I beat the bush and Ms. Jeong caught the birds.

This new menu will be successful.

Good job, everyone.

Ms. Jeong, you need to come with me.

Sorry? To where?

What the.

They always go in couples.

Are they seeing each other or what?

What is it?

Mrs. Park, we got a problem.

Lena Jeong twists Mr. Park around her finger.

If her new menu is released,

she'll be on a roll.

What should we do?

Where are you calling?

In the restroom.

I clearly told you to keep this matter between us.

Don't worry, Mrs. Park. My mouth is tight.

I initiate contact with you.

So don't make a call to me. Understood?

Okay. I'm sorry.

Lena Jeong will be on a roll?

Don't make me laugh.

With this,

I can finish her today.

How are you, sir?

Is it ready?

Yes. Come this way please.

- Here's the car key. - Thanks.

How do you like it?

I'm busy. Why did you bring me here?

Can't you tell?

I bought a new car. Take the wheel.

Excuse me?

Why should I drive your car?

What do you mean why?

Did you forget I drove you home several times?

You can at least do me this favor. Take it.

Mr. Park.

You said you're busy.

The person you have dialed is not available.

Dang it. Where on earth is she?

She's worrying me too much.

Sir, your wife is here to see you.

What? My wife?

What tea would you like to...

Just leave us alone. Get out.

Honey, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry no matter what. Just don't leave home again.

Without you, I couldn't focus on work,

I couldn't sleep,

...and I couldn't even eat.

Honey, forgive me.

Are you still mad at me?

What should I do to have your forgiveness?

Honey, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry, so don't cry.

It's not that.

I'm not crying because of you.

I'm just disappointed in myself.

I...

made a resolution to love Minjoon as my own when I married you.

Surely, the skin is nearer than the shirt.

I've come to favor Jaejoon before I realized it.

No, it's not your fault. That's human nature.

No.

I don't deserve to be his mother.

You were right,

so feel free to support Minjoon first.

No.

I will build the hospital for Jaejoon first and then...

No, no.

Like you said,

Jaejoon can't gear his ability to the job now.

Minjoon is your successor so please support him first.

Okay.

If you insist,

I'll support him first and look after Jaejoon's needs right away.

But if any problem comes up with Minjoon,

I'll build the Qingdao hospital for Jaejoon first, okay?

Okay.

That'll never happen but thank you for saying that.

Oh, that's my wife.

Honey, life is short. Let's not fight.

You are my sunshine.

So please smile like a bright sunshine.

Please smile.

You're so...

Please.

Oh, that's my beautiful wife!

My beautiful wife! Oh, my beautiful wife!

Mr. Park! Here you are.

Keep it. It's your car.

I'm sorry?

You returned the rental car. Use this car.

Wait.

Why are you giving this car to me?

If it's out of a personal favor, I want to refuse it.

Why?

You really don't know?

You're a married man and...

Don't trust the article you read.

You don't tell the truth when interviewed.

I bought you this car for one reason.

I want to give my partner the best working environment.

You've done well so far, so it's a kind of reward.

That's all. So feel free to take it.

A reward?

Yes, now my ability is recognized.

Sure, Mr. Park.

I'll drive to the top.

Who is it?

Yes.

Ms. Lena Jeong?

Can we meet?

Who's calling please?

You'll see when we meet.

I'll text the place to you.

Wait.

Why would I...

You know Mr. Sungsoo Kim, don't you?

It's about him.

Wonderful! That is it!

It'll make us look great on the mountain.

Absolutely! We want that outfit each.

What freehanded ladies! Let me size you with my eye.

Well, well.

Guess you wear size 4.

And guess you wear size 5.

Right?

You're a handsome, excellent sales clerk.

He's cute.

So are you Dongoo's friend?

Yes, sir.

You look like a model in that outfit.

Why don't you work full-time here?

Really? As a sales clerk?

Yes. Salaries and incentives,

health insurance, and paid vacation.

How does that sound?

- I'm okay with... - No!

She can't. She's a culinarian.

She came to help me just for today.

Really?

I'm sorry.

You can come here often though.

Why did you cut him off? It wasn't a bad offer.

Don't give up just because you failed job interviews.

You're a born cook.

No. Maybe I'd better give up.

It's hard competing with all the elite college graduates.

And I swallowed an insult today.

Then how about going back to college?

I'll support you.

If I work hard and receive incentives,

I can pay your tuitions.

What? Why would you do that?

Huh?

Well, it's kind of an investment.

Later when you succeed,

I can eat free meals at your restaurant.

Get real. Forget it.

It's not in our lot to attend college when we have to earn our bread.

I'm serious. Give it a thought.

Forget it.

Let's work hard and make money.

Fool.

I meant our marital home by the free meals.

Yes.

Yes, this is she.

Really? Oh, thank you!

Yes.

Sure, I'll be right there.

Bye.

Dongoo!

Why, something good happened to you?

I found my recipe notebook. I'll be back soon.

Excuse me.

Did you call me to return my recipe notebook?

Have a seat.

This is my treasure. I was upset after I lost it.

Thank you for turning it in.

Wait.

I can't give it to you for nothing.

I made time to come here.

Then how much do you want as a reward?

You're going too far.

You think money is everything?

I feel pathetic for having worried about...

your losing this notebook forever.

Wait.

'What if he never wakes up?'

'What if he has a serious disease?

Something happened to him?'

I feel pathetic for having worried about you.

I helped you not for money,

I helped you not for money,

...but out of concern for you.

...but out of concern for you.

How are you?

What happened? How did you get this?

I think you left it in my car the day you took me to the hospital.

Oh, I can relate.

Fool, I never thought that.

I want my reward.

Okay.

What is this?

Fortune cookie.

It's a reward from my heart. Hope it'll bring you luck.

By the way, it's filled with recipes. Are you a would-be chef?

It's my dream.

I have licenses and work experiences but it's hard to get a job.

How about dinner with me? You owe me.

Sorry, I have to get back to work.

Oh, really?

Okay.

Don't forget you owe me dinner.

Okay. Goodbye.

We're back.

- We're back! - Hi!

You sound happy. You have good news?

Yes.

Did you pass the interview?

I'm proud of you!

See? I told you she's good enough to get a job!

Wait. I want to celebrate it.

One, two, three, four! You are the best

You are the best

You are the best to me

It's not that.

She failed job interviews.

Sorry, I failed.

I was happy to find this.

Oh, is that so? We're acting silly.

Sorry, Esol.

No, don't be sorry.

Family's meant to comfort and support each other.

A job?

Yes.

I think she has great potential.

She's a good cook,

her Chinese is excellent, and she's pretty.

If you hire her,

your business in China will be smooth and easy.

Who is she that you ask me for a job for her?

Just a friend.

You like her, don't you?

Nice aroma. What brand is this?

Okay, I won't ask anymore.

I'll meet her.

If she's really competent, I will give her a job.

You mean it. Stick to your word.

Sure. I can do the favor for my only brother.

Don't worry.

I love you, Minjoon.

I give you my heart. Bye!

Esol Kang?

It's a reward from my heart. Hope it'll bring you luck.

Okay.

"Your dream will come true soon."

Hospital coordinator?

Yes.

It's a plastic surgery hospital in Chongdam.

They need a coordinator good at Chinese.

You're the right person.

Do you think they'll hire you?

I have a last interview with the director.

Sending you my luck.

You will get a job soon.

Wish your mom is always upset.

Why yes.

Otherwise we can't eat these foods.

She always says,

"You'll get fat.

Just throw them away! One, two!"

Look at me.

I just move as a reflex action at one, two.

Oh, right.

I got a call from a TV network to appear on TV.

Really?

Guess they saw your dancing video and really liked it.

On what program?

I Am a Singer? Super Star Korea?

No.

It's a morning show, 'How Is Your Daughter?'

I was offered to appear as a bad girl with my face blotted out.

Those bastards!

Tell them to mind their own daughters.

Don't worry.

I will wipe out those who give you a hard time.

Even Mom?

Yes, of course!

Be quiet!

Yes, honey.

Let's just eat.

I will break up with her.

I'd rather listen to my heart...

than hope to get a rake-off from the synergy.

How impudent.

I can't help but reveal the truth after 28 years.

Heera will be shocked but she'll understand after all...

...since our common cause is the Qingdao Hospital.

But if any problem comes up with Minjoon,

...I'll build the Qingdao hospital for Jaejoon first.

Alright?

Keep the promise, Taesoo.

A problem will come up soon.

Hi, Ms. Lena Jeong.

Mrs. Park.

Why?

Are you surprised because it was me?

I don't want to be interrupted so I'll order later.

Was it you who called me?

What's your business with me?

I told you it's about Sungsoo Kim.

I don't get it.

Who is Sungsoo Kim?

I don't know who that person is.

You don't know him?

Sungsoo Kim of Youngdengpo Private Detective Agency.

Should I continue?

Alright, ma'am.

What shall I tell you first?

It was a put-up job.

She asked me to pretend to faint at the restaurant that day.

She said she'd save me if I fainted from mango allergy...

I'm sorry, Mrs. Park.

I did great wrong. Please forgive me.

I was so desperate to get a job.

I mean it.

I didn't have any bad intentions.

I wanted a job to prove my ability.

I've worked really hard and I still will.

If new menus are released,

sales will increase and we'll make success in Shanghai.

I will work hard with my best so please forgive me.

I thought you were smart but seems you are not.

That's not what I want.

Excuse me?

What do you mean?

Didn't you eavesdrop me at the restaurant the other day?

I'm not interested in management.

What if Minjoon succeeds your father in the mean time?

If he succeeds Father,

that's good for both the company and the family.

What if you're left out forever?

There cannot be two suns in the sky!

If you're shouldered off now,

you'll live as a loser for the rest of your life.

You want to be a loser all your life?

You mean...

Right.

What I want is the fall of Minjoon Park.

To prevent his success in Shanghai.

You'll release new menus soon, right?

Instead of what you prepared...

...use this.

You're wily enough so I think you don't need further instructions.

I'll leave the matter to you.

What if I say no?

Why should I do that?
