Original subtitles

You know AP Group, right? An integrated interior material company.

It's out on the market for sale.

So, I've decided

to take over that company.

You mean, AP Group?

CEO Lee.

It's too large for us to acquire.

We'll look for a way from now on.

Mr. Cho and Mr. Cha,

see me in my office.

Eun-o.

Was he talking about the AP Group? That integrated material company.

Yes, he was.

But seriously?

It's like a convenience store owner acquiring a department store.

He got investment for a showroom,

so he's at more like a local supermarket.

In any case.

Geez, Ji-hyeok must be so obsessed with money,

not to mention his marriage with the daughter of Haneul.

Maybe.

It sets the house apart.

You said details make differences.

If I tell my group clients about this window frame,

they might love it.

You're very talkative today.

I know, right?

But I keep having ideas.

This is so fun.

Or maybe

he finds it fun to do.

He wants to acquire a company like AP Group for fun? It's scary for me.

Honestly speaking,

I was super surprised about his showroom idea too.

But he made it. He got the investment.

You're right about that.

Perhaps,

he genuinely has fun doing business.

SHOEALLS

SHOEJOY CHIEF DIRECTOR PARK SEONG-JAE

Mr. Park.

This is the list of final prototype candidates.

I see.

You have a visitor.

You want to take over AP Group?

Are you crazy?

It was my next plan after the showroom.

A company that makes all kinds of interior materials.

If you want out, you can back out and end the contract.

I'll give you the money back.

Ji-hyeok, you're feeling sorry to me.

You'll give me the three billion won back? You need just as more.

Your investment is for the showroom.

But I've given up on that and chosen to acquire AP Group.

Think about it and let me know.

Why? You'll write another proposal?

- Geez, you monster. - What?

Look at your eyes. They're sparkling.

Does it excite you?

Not at all. I haven't even started yet.

Have you found a consultant?

I'm working on it.

Then, let me set you up with one.

Mamdaero Zip did grow rapidly

and got the secondary investment,

but if you're to take over AP Group with that much capital,

no consultant in the industry would want take you seriously.

You know it's reckless.

You're right. Set me up with one.

- Okay, I'll let you know right away. - Okay, thanks.

Make her yours as soon as possible.

Stop me from doing anything!

Ji-hyeok.

I'd like to take some time.

If I take time to tell Eun-o how I feel,

will you do it?

I don't know.

Maybe.

She'll reject you.

If I can't hold it anymore,

I'll tell her.

Won't you work on acquiring AP Group?

You'll be too busy.

I'll start working on the acquisition first.

All right, chief.

Your job today is to demolish the kitchen, ceiling, and floor--

And to make a main entrance for the rental unit.

Please get started, then.

All right. Let's get started.

Ms. Ji.

- One, two. - One, two.

Oh, that way. To that side.

Ma'am, what brings you here this early?

They're my older sister and nephew.

They wanted to look around the house for the last time on their way to work.

I see.

- Hello. - Hello.

I've been visiting my aunt's house since I was little.

I felt sad to hear about the renovation so I came by.

I know how that feels.

After moving out from the house I lived for a long time,

I went there alone a few times too.

To think today is the last time,

I feel a little sad.

I took a few pictures of the house. Should I send them to you?

- Yes. - Did you take pictures of it?

Yes.

I came here and took pictures yesterday just in case.

See?

She's incredibly thoughtful for such a young designer.

It's me.

Do you want a salad or something else?

Why do you keep asking? You know my answer.

Well,

you may get married in any minute.

Shouldn't you get back in shape?

- You gained one kilo. - I'm not having a salad.

Then, what do you want?

Ji-wan.

Why are you this mad about me marrying someone

from a higher-class family?

Why would you be?

I'm not mad.

Do you perhaps know a sense of pity?

No, never mind. Forget it.

You choose to live like a princess locked up in a tower.

I won't care anymore.

Instead, complete your web comic.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Is it too much to ask?

I've helped you with all the storyline.

You need to let me read it to the end.

Show that much loyalty.

Mr. Lee Sang-hoon

is on a business trip in Canada or the States. He'll be back in 15 days.

So?

The other day, you said

it'd be nice if Chan and So-ri

met once by coincidence before the zombie disaster

like spilling ramyeon by the Hangang River.

Yes.

But I've never seen how to make ramyeon by the Hangang River before.

I know that's not the only thing.

Let's go to Hangang River.

YOUNG-RA YOUNG-RA'S CAR

Ms. Ko.

You were waiting for me?

Of course.

I asked you out on a date. It's only right I came before you.

I looked for some restaurants nearby.

You said you had two hours for lunch, right?

I mean, the weather is so nice.

It'll start to boil for real?

Yes.

Do it when it starts to boil. Take some pictures of the landscape.

Give that to me. I'll do it for you.

Let me see.

It's boiling. Ji-wan, it's boiling.

It's boiling for real. Ji-wan, it's boiling.

This is to die for, Ji-wan.

It's even better to have it outside.

It's bound to be. That's why people go on picnics

and camping.

I see.

Let's hurry. We'll go ride bikes.

- You want me to draw that in a scene too? - No. You may get married in no time,

so I'm going to show you a little more of the world while we're outside.

I feel bad for you.

Hey, what are you doing?

Were you a slave in your past life or something? Aren't your legs sore?

They are.

They're sore…

but it's fun.

You might pull a muscle in your calves.

Young-ra.

Let's change seats.

You can have a better view from the front seat.

Should we?

It's my first time riding a bicycle, but it's not scary to do it with you.

Don't waste your energy pedaling. Just enjoy the landscape.

I'll do the pedaling.

- Okay. - Be careful.

Let's go.

Off we go.

I've never seen a homemade lunch box like this before.

I felt extremely sorry, and I couldn't think of a way to apologize.

So, I made a lunch box myself.

It requires

effort and care to cook myself, after all.

Did you make all this yourself?

Ms. Ko, you really didn't have to do this.

I shared my story with you too.

But I'm older than you.

Try some.

This one is my favorite.

Wait. I like shrimp jeon too.

What's wrong?

Well…

That scent…

Just a moment.

YOUNG-RA YOUNG-RA'S CAR

Do you like it?

Yes, it's so good.

Eat up.

Eun-o,

I've been thinking…

I do feel like we're friends,

but you're as young as my children.

I wonder why I shared something I'd kept from others

with you twice.

I told you

why the other day.

Anyway, I wonder why

I happened to share this miserable past with you.

That must be because I'm not involved with the people around you.

I also told you

about my younger brother.

Oh, right.

You told me about your adoption story first.

It must've been a secret you kept from others.

I didn't meant to hide it, though.

In any case, my birth parents abandoned me,

and the parents who actually raised me are the ones I consider my real parents.

I didn't feel the need to mention it.

Really?

I grew up with so much love.

Even so,

you must've thought of your birth parents.

Didn't you want to see them or feel curious about them?

Whatever the reason, they abandoned me.

It really wasn't worth wondering about them.

Look at this girl.

What if they lost you,

not abandoned you?

They left me at an orphanage.

But there are so many cases on TV and street posters

about parents losing their children

on the street or in a neighborhood.

Many parents go through orphanages trying to find their children.

I see.

Even someone like me

registered my DNA

with the police just in case.

But she's already dead.

Although, she's probably dead already.

Who knows?

Someone might've taken her before the fire.

I might never be able to give up…

until the day I die.

That's what moms are like.

So, that's what moms are like.

He's my MBA senior.

He's now a partner consultant of an M&A consulting company.

I'm Ha Seong-guk of Moment M&A.

I'm Lee Ji-hyeok.

This is Manager Hong Won-jun in charge of this project.

And this is Attorney Choi Jun-gu in charge of legal advice.

AP Group's role is the same as my future path.

I don't have to spend ten years when it can be done in one.

So, you need this acquisition.

The problem is,

the numbers aren't realistic.

Your budget is way below AP's asking price.

NATIONAL QUALIFICATION EXAM SIGN UP

CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN

APPLY

YOUR REGISTRATION'S CONFIRMED

This is so strange.

He's always one to be on time.

Yes.

Kim Jang-soo speaking.

You caught a cold.

It must be a serious one.

Yes.

I couldn't even bring myself to call you.

I'm too sick.

If it's that bad, you should call Da-jung over.

Gosh, no.

Don't tell Da-jung about this. Never!

Fine.

I get it. Bye.

You didn't have to come, Ms. Ok-rye.

I bought some cold medicine and medicinal herb tea for you.

You didn't eat anything, did you?

It's fine. Just give me the medicine.

You wanted us to be friends. I'm not nasty enough

to make a friend take medicine on an empty stomach.

Geez.

How convenient.

Eat up.

Ms. Ok-rye, I wasn't asking for this

when I told you not to let Da-jung know.

Your daughter can't come even if you ask for her.

Mother.

My father must never find out about my part-time job.

I feel guilty about something too. That's why.

Anyway, eat up.

You need to eat something before taking medicine.

If I were five years younger, I'd cook healthy food myself for you.

But it's just the thought that counts.

Still, this is very nutritious.

It's delicious with good ingredients.

There's one more in the fridge.

What was on your mind,

lying in bed alone?

You must've felt so lonely.

I'm sorry only I get to live with my son, daughter-in-law, grandsons,

and granddaughter.

I miss my grandchildren in the States so much.

When I was sick in bed alone,

I was afraid

I might die without ever getting to see

my son and grandchildren.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

Da-jung. This is for table 12.

- Smoked one? - Let's have that.

- Yes, that. - Smoked one?

Goodness, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Mr. Jeong, you should've watched your step.

Oh, my goodness. Da-jung.

Oh, my. This is horrible.

- What do we do? - Are you okay, Da-jung?

At least, it's a light second-degree burn.

Thank goodness, it won't leave a scar.

It's all right. I know you didn't do it on purpose.

You were too careless, being at our regular restaurant.

I'm sorry you can't work anymore because of me.

Mr. Shin, didn't you say your store was hiring staff?

Right.

I found a great consultant thanks to you.

The talk went well.

Seong-guk told me already, punk.

He might take over AP Group for real at this rate.

CHOI IN-SOOK

Chief Director Park, what do I do?

Soo-bin wants to quit after fully training her replacement.

Where's her sense of responsibility coming from?

She said she'd focus on her channel.

…in the clothes I bought.

Aren't they so similar?

She got so many more subscribers.

- Gosh. - What is this?

No, Grandma. Don't go close to it.

Please take a look around.

Just bring me three lightest products you have here.

In size 240, please.

Please have a seat and wait.

Try them on.

She got the wrong ones.

It's heavy.

It can't be.

This is the lightest product.

Ms. Min-ji.

Just a moment, ma'am.

Ms. Min-ji.

Those two aren't the ones.

But they're all similar.

They aren't similar.

I gave you a chart of products sorted in color, function, and weight.

Why didn't you memorize it?

Like I said, the first thing to ask is what they need it for.

Why did you just tell her to look around and that everything is light?

You said the company trained you with the basics.

Well, yes.

Ma'am, are you looking for daily shoes?

Yes, light and comfortable shoes.

May I ask what kind of shoes

- you're looking for? - Well…

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey.

Come here.

"Come here"?

You're not even funny.

Do you want to be a regular employee that bad?

You think they'll give you a special promotion if you work like this?

What?

You're only a part-timer. Don't try to patronize a regular employee,

and just go on your way.

If you don't want a part-timer to nag you,

live up to your title.

Stop slacking off and work with a sense of responsibility.

I'd love to quit right away.

But I can't, because you're too dumb.

What, dumb?

I told you to dust off the shoes first

and to place the shoes back neatly instead of placing them

randomly after customers try them on.

But you're too dumb to do something that simple.

I've had enough of you.

You darn…

What?

What?

- You little… - Ms. Min-ji!

Ms. Min-ji, what do you think you're doing?

What are you doing?

- Goodness. - Stop.

She started it.

She did it first.

Soo-bin, what's going on?

Seong-jae.

Let me see.

You got a scratch.

- Hey, you! - Seong-jae.

Are you crazy?

You're the chief director.

I'll tell her off.

Let's go.

Goodness.

Fortunately, it won't leave a scar.

That minx has long nails.

Hey, Soo-bin. Why didn't you fight back?

Even when she grabbed your hair.

Are you a fool?

What if I fought back and she ended up getting hurt?

You'd be put on the spot if it got exposed that you got me that job as a cover.

So, you just took it? Because of me?

Yes.

I told you to quit as soon as your replacement came.

I wanted to do the least I could to repay you.

Because of my stubbornness, you made me a business card

and let me work part-time at your branch store.

The branch manager helped me too. So, I wanted to train my replacement well.

I can't commend you for what you did,

but I can't thank you, either.

You're hard to predict, Soo-bin.

Let me see.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Oh, my goodness. You're crazy!

Soup in an earthen pot is piping hot!

Sang-cheol might lose his temper if he finds it out.

I'm showing it to you

to keep it from Sang-cheol and the kids.

It won't show unless I roll up my sleeve.

Geez. You have so much to hide!

I can't believe you have to wait tables too.

Most families have a duel income these days.

Even more so after retirement.

I didn't just look after my in-laws.

My mom suffered from Alzheimer's for 15 years and even a stroke.

Is your younger brother doing well in the States?

How long has he been away from Korea?

Five years.

Has it already been five years?

His children must've grown up a lot too.

One is in ninth grade, and the other is in tenth.

Why do you suddenly ask about my brother?

I just suddenly came to think

that your father would miss them a lot.

He does.

Da-jung, I'll do the cooking.

Just set the table.

Then, please do that for me for a few days.

Thanks for driving me home.

It could get infected.

It's covered with a bandage anyway.

Get her to apologize tomorrow.

Quit working after tomorrow, okay?

Okay.

Wait. Someone texted me.

Binny, this is Seok.

I don't think I have gotten over you yet.

Crazy bastard.

Who is it? A stalker?

No, my ex.

I blocked him because he kept texting me. I guess he borrowed someone's phone.

Your ex?

You even blocked his number?

- Were you not that into him? - I was.

I was crazy about him for a year.

You liked him that much?

Yes, I loved him.

Then, why break up only after a year? You loved him like crazy.

You've been through marriage and even divorce,

but you sound like a child.

You don't know why you fall in love or why you fall out of love.

You can't define how you feel when in love.

Why isn't there any reason for love?

When you love someone, there's always a reason.

That's when you start to like someone.

When you're truly in love, you can't tell why.

You think of them every day, miss them, and want them to be yours.

You feel anxious in case someone steals them.

So?

What do you mean, so?

What's after that?

You tell them how you feel, of course.

- You're being so weird. - Love can make you hold back too.

You could feel like you aren't good enough for them.

Or you could hold back because you know

you can't make them happy.

That's when you don't have the gut to tell them how you feel

- or when your feelings are not that big. - No.

Fine.

If you're holding back in case you get rejected,

is it not considered love?

I'm saying

love can be like someone who protects the other in secret

for their happiness.

When I asked why you got married, you said because you were lonely.

I get it. You've never been in true love.

Love is all about possessiveness.

Love makes you hold back? How can you hold back?

It's impossible to hold back.

It's bound to show.

Love, poverty, and cough

are the three things that can't be hidden in this world.

Do you like her for real? How can you do that for years?

I can't hold back.

It's impossible for me.

I want to tell her how I feel right now if I can.

How can you hold back?

What the… Don't tell me you were talking about yourself just now.

What?

I wasn't.

Hurry inside now.

- What is she like? - Get off, brat.

You asked me to let you know when Ji-hyeok broke up

with her girlfriend.

I'm going to be

someone very useful at the company.

So that my father needs me.

And then,

- I'll tell her how I feel. - Make her yours as soon as possible.

Stop me from doing anything!

I held back just fine.

I held back.

I better go home.

There he goes again.

Dad.

Are you okay?

Why did you call me? We agreed not to talk to each other.

I called you in case you tripped on a shoelace again.

Why can't you tie your shoelaces properly?

Stop wearing these sneakers.

I need to stop by the convenience store. Go on in.

What was that about?

I almost tripped on a shoelace again?

Has he ever seen me almost trip on a shoelace before?

Don't just believe his words, and check if he's doing well.

Running a company isn't all that easy.

Whatever. I'm not going to bother.

Why are you suddenly acting like you're concerned?

I'm not acting.

Aren't you?

If you're so worried, talk to him yourself.

I wouldn't say such a thing to him.

Ji-hyeok!

What's that?

Beer?

Two cans. Did you expect to see me?

You can have one in my room.

- But not too long. - Okay.

I'll leave quickly for the endless growth of your company.

Tell me if I'm wrong.

After Ji-hyeok had his marriage fall through and ran away from home,

you were never worried about him even for once.

Our eldest son disappeared in shock

and didn't come back for more than a month.

But you never showed concern about where he could be.

I didn't say anything because I wasn't concerned.

Seong-jae didn't visit us.

Why are you suddenly bringing him up?

Ji-hyeok ran away from home after causing that big trouble.

Seong-jae, that brat, should've come over to check on us.

I mean, he comes over unannounced and even eats alone here.

He couldn't come

because he knew where Ji-hyeok was.

He knew he wouldn't be able to lie if we asked him about Ji-hyeok.

You're right.

You should've told me so.

I thought you were quietly in touch with him.

So that's why you weren't worried about him, all sulky?

You had a reason.

Dad's so quick-witted.

I can't believe he got a clue from Seong-jae.

I know.

Maybe that's how he lasted until regular retirement.

Did Seong-jae really know where you were?

Yes.

No way. Dad's reasoning skills are like those of a private detective.

So, he did worry about me.

I called you in case you tripped on a shoelace again.

Hold on.

I almost tripped on a shoelace when…

Darn it.

Oh, it was then.

Did he come to check on us back then?

I got you a birthday gift.

I thought you needed comfortable shoes.

That's why he got me new shoes.

It wasn't a random gift.

Hello.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

It's begun for us now that we got the information memorandum.

I was surprised because it was sooner than expected.

Someone from the underwriter

was there when you did the investment pitching.

He highly recommended AP Group to have you

on the candidate list.

I see.

The preliminary bid is around the corner. We better hurry up.

You want to use my investment on the showroom

for acquiring AP Group instead.

Okay, deal. I bet you saw this one coming.

How about investing more?

I got an IM from AP Group.

Geez, this is so demotivating.

I was going to play hard to get with extra investment.

Then, you've already…

I looked into AP Group a little too.

But this one will be an equity investment.

I'll call it off if the acquisition fails.

Of course.

Thanks for setting me up with a competent consultant.

Oh, this is

an investment transition proposal

for my existing investors.

Read it.

Seong-guk told me already.

You're busy as hell now.

Yes.

I'm meeting another investor after this.

Thanks. See you.

He's so bold.

- Thank you. - Good work.

I appreciate your hard work for the past three days, chief.

Just the demolition took so much work.

I can tell how tough it's going to be for you.

Thank you. I'll reach you again.

Sure.

Long time no see.

It's only been three days, though.

Still.

We used to see each other every day.

You think?

The demolition in Suri-dong ended today, right?

Go home. You must be covered in dust.

I came to review the interim floor plans for the Turnkey Team.

You're busy.

Enjoy your noodles.

How is it going?

What?

Have your coffee here.

And tell me how things are going.

We're now an acquisition candidate.

AP Group put you on the list?

Apparently, someone who heard my pitch was with the underwriter.

He highly recommended me, saying my company was similar to AP's beginning.

But tell me.

How on earth did you come to think of starting a business?

You weren't interested in business at all.

I didn't know I was a fit for doing business, either.

Even when I started it.

How did you start?

You really want to know?

I am.

The day my wedding fell through,

I took the earliest express bus.

When I got off, I was in Cheongpo.

The city where Edel Orphanage is?

Yes.

I worked day and night not to have a moment to think.

I didn't want to sleep.

I didn't even want to dream.

There was nothing I could do, so I just shoved myself around.

Then,

I faced the moments

that made me disgusted to go back to how I used to be.

Even now, I don't want to talk about it.

In the midst of that, I happened to work at a newlywed couple's DIY remodeling site

as an odd-job worker.

Then, sir…

Could you please come to work here every day?

Please stay

and give my wife some advice.

Right.

I may not be a pro, but since freshman year,

I've done almost everything with more than ten years

of doing volunteer service.

I thought, "Even so, I can't possibly supervise remodeling."

But as I was walking out,

I was struck with this idea.

"Quite a lot of people might be like them."

People who want to do DIY interior work

but lack the skills to do it.

Mamdaero Zip.

A matching platform.

I got the idea, then.

And?

It wasn't an easy decision to make,

so I was hesitating

when this construction worker advised me to give up.

On your business idea?

No.

To admit that I fell rock bottom

and give in.

Just accept your circumstances.

Far more people fail to get back on their feet than those who do.

Then, you'll get used to this life.

It'll become okay.

Stop being so stubborn and just give in.

That moment, I felt a rage.

"I don't want to."

"I don't want to settle for this bottom."

"Over my dead body."

I didn't have…

the luxury of considering you.

I know.

You said you needed to survive.

You can't survive?

If I'm near you or around you,

you can't survive?

I can't survive!

I was

mistaken about you.

People are like that.

I didn't know much about myself, either.

Hadn't I gone to Cheongpo back then, I'd still be clueless.

The noodles must be getting soggy.

I'll get you a new one.

It's fine. I'm too hungry to wait even for a second.

Why is she so friendly with me?

Isn't that too little for lunch?

SURI-DONG CLIENT

Hello, ma'am. This is Ms. Ji.

A blind date?

A blind date?

I see.

Ma'am, will you ask me again after the construction?

Sure.

I'll take pictures and send them to you.

Okay, bye.

Was it the Suri-dong client?

What blind date?

Her older sister visited with her son.

I guess she wants to set us up.

Why did you tell her to ask again after the construction?

She may be disappointed in me and want to cancel the contract.

Are you saying

you're interested in this blind date?

Of course.

She'll go on a blind date?

A blind date?

Jinhwa Group is a nice choice.

It's a traditional pharmaceutical and bio company.

Exactly.

The owner family loves the fact that Young-ra is a painter.

It'll be nice if they found a big gallery for her after a few years.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

You look even prettier today.

You're glowing with energy.

Is it because you had your exhibition for a debut?

No, it's something else.

She's found someone decent, and her life is smooth sailing.

It's put her at ease.

Did you go on a date with Vice President Lee today?

No.

He's on his business trip in the States for two weeks.

Young-ra, do you like him?

I think so.

Don't rush anything, and date him for a few months first.

Okay.

MISSING PERSON

What if they lost you,

not abandoned you?

They may have lost me?

Where are you, Eun-o?

Should I bring over some meat?

You've got to have some. You need energy for your construction.

Sounds good.

I'm on my way home now.

MISSING PERSON

Kang-o, finish eating with this.

I'll bring the rest home for Eun-o.

We don't have any more?

I can't believe

you have my home-marinated meat every day since you came back.

I couldn't have any when I craved it. I can't get enough.

Right. Mom.

Can't we just sell it to customers?

We run a franchise barbecue restaurant.

We can't sell my home-marinated meat.

But this is just too special.

This secret recipe has come down since my great-grandma.

I'm going to marinate some again tomorrow,

- but it won't be ready for a week. - Poor Eun-o.

She needs to get a boyfriend to feed herself with meat.

Right.

She needs to find a boyfriend.

I doubt it'll be easy.

She got rejected badly from her crush.

My point exactly.

Why did he have to say no to a girl like Eun-o?

She's such a pretty, kind-hearted, and thoughtful girl.

This is nice. I feel like I'm treated even better than when it was a cafe.

With free coffee.

You're right.

Anyway, what did you want to ask me?

This may be a random question,

but I keep dwelling on what you said during the cafe farewell party.

What did I say?

It's disappointing to know that he chose such a marriage,

but it's not something for anyone to hate him for a long time.

That wasn't everything.

Was there something else?

When Ji-hyeok rejected your feelings for him,

was there something else that we aren't aware of?

Well, okay.

It's all in the past, and I can tell you this much.

When Ji-hyeok turned me down,

he said we weren't compatible.

You weren't compatible?

You and I

aren't compatible.

You aren't compatible

with me.

But then,

he didn't tell me why no matter how much I asked.

And…

So, explain to me in detail

exactly how I'm not compatible with you.

Most people

use the word "incompatible" when one doesn't suit their standards.

Later on,

I heard the news about his marriage with Ms. Jeong Bo-a.

Wait.

Don't tell me you took the word, incompatible,

as in backgrounds.

It was true, though.

He was going to marry the daughter of the Haneul Construction family.

He was going for such a marriage even without love.

A woman with backgrounds like mine didn't stand a chance.

I was just too

incompatible with him.

That's not it.

Excuse me?

WINTER, 2020

I'll learn scuba diving next spring.

Shouldn't you stop spending for fun and start saving for marriage?

Did you lose your memory?

I'm a misogamist. I won't get married.

I'll support myself and myself alone in life.

That suits me.

What about Eun-o?

Is she still just a junior to you?

What's with this weird tone?

Eun-o and I are like siblings. You already know.

Don't tell me

you're growing to like her again.

I wouldn't say again.

I've always been into her.

I told you already in college. You're not for her.

Yes, a long distance relationship from the States

sure was too much to ask.

Why did I listen to you back then? I regret it from time to time.

Even if it was out of Yeo-jin's love for you,

you did marry her.

And did you forget how you guys got divorced?

Remember what your father did to split you apart.

Don't even dream about it.

Once I'm done with my MBA course,

I can be free from my parents.

I told you before, Seong-jae.

From the moment I met Eun-o at the club,

she's lived a tough life for six years.

She had a couple of tutoring jobs to support her family.

Meanwhile, she got scholarships

and never missed our club voluntary services.

I've never seen anyone

who stays strong without showing how much they're suffering.

I know.

So, I think

someone like Eun-o

deserves a life that makes up for everything.

But, Ji-hyeok,

I feel warm when I see her.

She just feels warm

and bright like the sunshine

ever since I saw her for the first time.

So at least for once,

I'd like to confess to her.

Don't. You're never the one for her.

Eun-o deserves

a competent man

who's even capable to support her family.

A man of warm and strong character

who loves her with all his heart.

You really have no feelings for her?

I mean, you adore her this much.

She's like a sibling to me. Romantic feelings are not an option.

Most of all, a man like me is never going to be right for her.

I'm a salaryman from an ordinary family.

I can't afford to support her family.

And I'm selfish.

I can't be right for her, either.

Mr. Park.

What's on your mind?

I'm thinking

you're very much mistaken about Ji-hyeok.

Mistaken?

When he said you were incompatible,

it probably meant he wasn't a right man for you.

I don't understand.

He said you deserve

a competent and warm-hearted man

who loves you dearly and can even support your family.

Not a man from a rich family

with a difficult father like me.

Not an ordinary man

who can't be of help to you like Ji-hyeok.

When he turned you down,

he probably meant it that way.

But why didn't he

tell me so?

I don't know.

"Incompatible."

I only just heard about that.

It'll be best

if you can acquire AP Group.

But then…

In any case, he's a reserved candidate.

Please reconsider.

If you can let me use your investment for acquiring AP Group,

it'll be of great help in attracting more investments.

Ms. Ji, you're so meticulous and capable.

You're a perfect daughter-in-law material.

But the place itself is nice.

- You're truly skilled. - Exactly.

Isn't she the Suri-dong client?

Cheol-min.

Why are they here?

They're inviting Ms. Ji over.

Invite her? Where?

I mean, why?

They're talking about her nephew and stuff.

Maybe they want her as a future daughter-in-law.

Her nephew?

My son is a fine man.

I'm not saying this because he's my son.

He's a perfect husband material.

A blind date.

A blind date.

A blind date?

How did the investment transition go?

Yeah.

Well, I got all their approvals.

That's great.

It's time for you to get started with the investment war for real.

Yes.

Anyway, what brings you here?

I saw you with clients when I came back.

I'm wondering if there's any construction issue.

That's not it.

The client's nephew is a lawyer.

He's starting a law firm with a few other lawyers.

They invited me to the opening ceremony.

It sounds like a blind date with the ceremony as an excuse.

I guess.

You'll be there?

- Yes. - Why?

What do you mean, why?

I'm 30 now.

It's about time I met someone decent to start a family with.

You're interested in getting married?

I'm not a misogamist.

Have I ever said I wouldn't get married?

I mean…

Are you sure he's decent?

You don't know anything about him except his job.

I'm worried you might end up with some weirdo again like in college.

I'm not a college student anymore.

And it's natural not to know much about the other at first.

It takes time.

Wait. You said you'd consider it after the construction.

What if things get complicated

and the construction in Suri-dong ends up going south?

You're not that irresponsible.

I mean, you shouldn't be

this reckless and careless.

This is enough.

I'll handle it myself.

No.

What?

Don't.

Don't go.

Please get out now.

This won't do.

I just can't help it.

I like you too much to hold back.

I think…

I need to win your heart, Eun-o.

I can't let this one slide of all the others.

You don't even have much experience.

How can you aim to reach the top at once?

Please stop!

Still, you should've told me.

I'm your daughter, after all.

How could you do this to me?

I like that you aren't like the girls these days.

I feel bad for her.

Hey, I can't believe you don't know about yourself at all.

I confessed my feelings to Eun-o.

Don't be sorry to me.

I'm not going to do the same to her.

What?
