KING THE LAND

- Goodness. - Dad.

Oh.

Let us serve the meal.

Yes, sure.

It's Ms. Best Talent.

It's been a while.

Hello, have you been well, sir?

If she's titled the Best Talent,

she must be very talented.

Not at all.

He's just being generous.

Then let us serve the soup first.

It's already been decided, so there's no need to drag this out.

Won, now that your position is settled,

marry Yu-ri within the year before it's too late.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Are you hurt?

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm asking if you're okay.

What?

Yes, I'm fine.

It's dangerous, so step away. I'll clean it.

No, I'll do it, sir.

I'll do it.

My apologies, sir.

Allow me to do it.

- Sa-rang, you may leave. - No, ma'am.

- I'll-- - Sa-rang?

I'm sorry.

- Mr. Gu. - Yes.

Goodness.

- It's delicious. - Is that so?

EPISODE 13

Seeing Won manage the 100th-anniversary event made me think,

"This kid sure can put up an act."

But it wasn't an act by the looks of things today.

He actually cares about his employees.

That's why I like him.

He even takes care of people like her.

He's different from all the pretentious men out there.

You're amazing for liking that about him.

Chairman Han and I will arrange all the wedding preparations.

Understood?

Yes, Father.

Won.

What about you?

I…

I…

am in love with someone else.

What were you thinking?

I'm sorry.

How did you join King the Land with those skills?

I'm sorry.

I'll be the main server and have Sa-rang assist me.

How can I let her go back in when she dropped a plate?

I'll do the serving. Stay on the second floor.

Wouldn't the second floor be too difficult for a new member?

That's why you take charge there.

- Ha-na. - Yes, ma'am.

Since when did King the Land become so lax?

It wasn't like that when I was there.

It's the room at the very end.

Let's not make any more mistakes.

Yes, ma'am.

Gosh, I thought Won was just a kid. He's all grown up now.

He even has someone he loves.

- Do you love her a lot? - Yes.

Of course.

A man should know how to love a woman.

We're not here today to find out who you're in love with.

We're talking about marriage.

We only need to talk about you and Yu-ri.

I told you from the very beginning.

I'm sorry,

but I've never had feelings for Yu-ri.

- And my feelings won't change. - Won.

It's okay.

Everyone falls in and out of love.

It's completely normal. Don't be too concerned.

Won.

Love her all you want, then break up with her.

We have to get married anyway.

She's my daughter, but she has such a big heart.

That is exactly why I had my eye on her.

She has a big heart.

I said…

I'm in love with someone else, but no one is interested.

I was upset for a second.

But I don't think I need to be.

Because

I also have no interest in any of this marriage talk.

I'll be leaving first.

I hope you have a good time, sir.

You too, Yu-ri.

Let's meet by ourselves next time.

I thought that punk was a softie.

But he has a firm character.

Right, Dad?

He grows on you, doesn't he?

Yes, I like him.

I'll apologize on his behalf.

It's okay.

He's mine anyway.

I'm not going to let anyone else have him,

so don't worry.

The person you have called is unavailable…

We need to talk.

Why didn't you answer my call?

My phone is in my locker. I'm working right now.

I'm sorry you had to hear that.

Let's talk later.

Are you mad?

No.

I was just a little shocked.

It's not going to happen.

Okay?

Okay.

Let's talk later. I need to serve this quickly.

But why are you working here?

This isn't the hotel.

I wonder that myself.

I'm pretty sure I'm someone who works at a hotel.

Can you please step aside, sir?

Fine.

Call me as soon as you get off work.

I'll be waiting.

Go ahead.

Your food is ready.

Your food is ready.

I will go ahead and serve your food.

Your food will be served.

Oh my god!

Are you an idiot?

You're so funny.

Look at your face. It's hilarious.

Who are you?

How dare you talk to me like that? Call me "sir."

Sir, my foot. Apologize.

If you apologize now, I'll forgive you.

That's what people like you do.

I'm not someone who apologizes.

What's wrong with you?

This is your last chance. Apologize while I count to three.

What? Why should I?

One,

- two… - Three.

What are you going to do?

Apologize.

Why should I? Do you know who I am?

I don't need to know who you are.

Spoiled kids like you need to be taught a lesson.

I told you to apologize!

Stop!

If you don't stop, I won't forgive you!

I get to forgive you. You just have to apologize.

I'm sorry. Happy now?

In Korean!

I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry.

My gosh.

Just watch. I'll make you pay.

You're going to regret this.

Well, too bad.

I don't regret anything.

Ms. Cheon Sa-rang?

Yes, this is Cheon Sa-rang.

Escort Mr. Ji-hu downstairs. The chairman is asking for him.

- Sorry? Who? - Mr. Ji-hu.

Ms. Gu's son.

So you're Ji-hu?

The chairman is asking for you.

Shall we go down together, sir?

How delicious.

Our Ji-hu is here.

It has been a while.

How have you been, sir?

I see. You must be Ji-hu.

He's so mature now.

I know, right? You're starting to look like your uncle.

You're flattering me.

He has not once ever acted like a baby.

I have a wonderful grandson.

It is an honor to have been born as your grandson.

Did you hear him?

How could I not adore him?

Good work today.

Accept this with gratitude.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you, ma'am.

You're aware that you don't deserve to receive this, right?

I'm sorry.

Please be lenient. It didn't end up being a big problem.

She also went through a lot working upstairs.

If you're ever chosen to be a part of the Dream Team again,

relearn the basics before coming back.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

My pay for the day is as much as my monthly paycheck.

So you're in love?

Yes.

I'll keep this short.

End it.

I don't intend to.

I'm

the father

of both you and King Group.

You too are the son of both me and King Group.

To us,

marriage carries greater value than love.

No matter who you love,

you won't be able to protect her.

And she will end up leaving you too.

No.

That will never happen.

Also,

I'm going to protect her

at all costs.

Because I love her from the bottom of my heart.

That's what everyone says at first.

You may not understand what I mean just yet,

but you'll find out soon enough.

That's all I have to say.

The person you have called…

The person you have called…

I've called so many times.

Should I just hop over?

The lights are on.

Sir. Excuse me.

Do you live here?

- No. - You don't live here, right?

We received a report about a suspicious person loitering.

A suspicious person?

No, I'm the only one here.

Yes, that's why we're here.

Can I see your ID, please?

Someone must've gotten the wrong idea.

I'm not a suspicious person.

Then why are you here?

My girlfriend lives here.

I called her numerous times, but she wouldn't pick up.

So I was worried.

Yeah, he's definitely a stalker.

Let's take him to the station before sending him home.

We shouldn't conclude that he's a stalker

- without checking. - Checking what?

- Right. - His girlfriend won't even pick up.

She's deliberately avoiding him, but he followed her to her house.

He's definitely a stalker.

What do you mean I'm a stalker?

What about me suggests that I'm a stalker?

Everything about you. Without a doubt.

This is your problem.

How do you know if it's romance or stalking without hearing him out?

Isn't that right, sir?

Yes, I'm not a stalker.

Your eyes speak the truth.

I knew it. It's romance.

He came all the way here to check on his girlfriend.

He was too sorry to even ring the doorbell.

Right?

Yes.

Please. Cut the crap, will you?

You have the experience to know better.

Look. The lights are on, very brightly at that.

So why won't she pick up?

She just hates your guts.

Yet you keep calling her nonstop.

And you even came to her house.

Gosh. Who would like that?

The thing is, stalkers don't even realize that they're stalking.

Then is that why you never called me when I got upset?

Why are you bringing that up again?

Did you ever come to my house

when I cried after our fight?

I said that I was going to, but you specifically told me not to.

If I tell you not to, do you take that at face value?

This is why you're a lost cause!

You keep bringing up the past.

Come to think of it, you sure can hold a grudge.

Who made me like this?

Me. It's all my fault.

It's me. Everything is my fault.

- At least you know. - It's all because of me.

So after listening to you two talk,

- How ridiculous. - I think the two of you

should hold hands

and make peace.

I hope you have a deep conversation

and reach an amicable agreement.

Well, then. I'll be leaving.

Have a dazzling conversation.

Goodbye.

Give him his ID.

I'll take care of the rest. You can take a break.

You didn't even eat yet, right?

It's okay. I can eat after this.

I'm not okay with that.

Get some rest.

We're selling duty-free items.

Please let me know if you need anything.

We're selling duty-free items.

Do you need anything, ma'am?

I would like to buy this.

What? Why are you back already?

We have to dim the lights soon.

How will you increase sales with that mindset?

Continue until I say you can stop.

I don't think we should disturb the passengers' time of rest

to increase sales.

This is exactly why you'll never be promoted.

Pyeong-hwa, shouldn't you insist on continuing

even if I tell you to stop?

Go out and sell at least one more item.

I'm sorry,

but I can't do that.

Pyeong-hwa.

Who is in charge here?

- You, ma'am. - And?

You're going against my orders?

For the passengers' rest and the safety of the employees,

I'm asking you to follow the rules.

I didn't know you cared so much about the passengers and employees.

Did you come alone, sir?

- Yes. - I'll escort you to your table.

Your coffee is ready.

I called you.

I fell asleep early last night, so I couldn't answer.

When I woke up, it was too late to call you back.

Can we talk after work?

Won!

You were here.

Why didn't you answer my calls?

I don't want you to visit me at work.

I'm here as a guest.

- I want coffee. - Do you want it to be warm?

- Yes. - All right. I'll get that ready for you.

What do you want?

I'll just cut to the chase.

There are a lot of men who want to marry me.

I know.

That's why I won't apologize.

You're so offhand. That's why I like you.

Yu-ri.

Yes?

I want you

to experience what love is like.

I've been in a ton of relationships.

True love.

Then you'll be able to understand what it means

when I say

I'm in love with someone.

That's why I'm going to give it a try

with you.

Find someone else.

Someone who can truly cherish you

and love you.

Meet someone like that.

Think carefully.

If you turn away now, you won't get another chance.

If I help you,

you know you can have King Group for yourself.

I'll pay for your coffee.

Enjoy your time here.

- One for each of you? - Yes.

All right. Thank you.

I'll get that ready for you.

I didn't order this.

It's on the house. Enjoy.

Why?

You obviously had a fight with your girlfriend. Just drink it.

We didn't fight.

You may take this back.

Then were you dumped?

No, we didn't fight, nor did she dump me.

I already told you.

Why is everyone doing this to me?

I'm being serious. We didn't have a fight.

I didn't get dumped either, so take this.

Just accept it.

It's from my heart.

You got this.

Thank you!

Are you okay?

My head says one thing,

and my heart says another.

That means you're not okay.

You don't have to pretend you're okay.

I'm going to give it some thought.

All right.

You probably need some time to think it through.

But you don't have to be too worried.

How am I supposed to do that?

I know you must be worried,

but I hope you can trust me.

I'll take care of it.

It's my problem.

It's up to me to decide my future.

Still, I hope you're not thinking of breaking up with me.

Why would I think of breaking up with you?

Were you thinking of that?

No, why would I?

I would never think that.

I could never let you go.

Then why did you say that? It's making me upset.

I mean…

You said you were feeling down

and needed time to think,

so I thought it was because of the other day.

The marriage talks?

It did take me by surprise.

But it's not like I expected your father

to welcome me with open arms.

You didn't get my grandma's approval yet either.

What are you talking about?

I'm always number one inside her heart.

You mean candidate number one.

Anyway,

the irreplaceable number one in her heart

is yours truly.

Why are you so proud? It's not even something that great.

What do you mean it's not something great?

It's the best among the titles I hold.

You're finally smiling.

I really wanted to see that smile on your face.

You used to hate my smile.

So don't worry.

You know how I feel.

That's why I was more worried.

Anyway, don't take what my father said to heart.

I made it clear that I'm in love with someone.

I mean,

I was a bit startled, but it's okay.

I knew you wouldn't change over that.

So I tried not to think negatively about it.

Then

what did you mean when you said you needed time to think?

Have you heard of the Dream Team?

The Dream Team? What's that?

Apparently, it's every concierge's dream.

I didn't know it at first,

but after experiencing it, a thought came to mind.

If I work really hard and reach the top,

I just become a maid for a wealthy family.

This isn't the hotel work that I dreamed of.

I didn't know our employees got drafted for personal events.

I didn't even know why you were there that day.

I'll try to make a change,

so just wait a little.

Even if it takes some time, I'll make sure it happens.

I'll also get rid of the Dream Team.

I'm not sure what's right.

Everyone else seemed to love it because of the money.

It's just my personal opinion.

My personal disapproval

shouldn't prevent others from earning more money.

Okay. You've been waiting for a long time.

Man, you look more energetic now.

Earlier, he was on the verge of tears.

What are you talking about?

What a shame. I would've loved to see you cry.

- No, he's making things up. - Then were you on the verge of death?

Jeez.

Just cook for us, please.

All right. Just for you two,

I'll start off with the last course.

- It's my heart. - I was going to say that.

Put it all in your bag.

Dad, what are we eating today?

I'm busy today.

Just order some chicken to eat with your mom.

What? We were supposed to eat out today.

I can't. I have a meeting.

Today's your wedding anniversary.

Don't tell me you forgot again.

You forgot, didn't you?

No, I didn't.

My boss just had to make all of us gather today.

Today of all days?

Did you tell him what today is?

Of course I did.

But it's not like the company cares about personal circumstances.

How are you always the same?

People were right when they said people don't change.

The old sayings are always true.

Well, we can celebrate over the weekend.

By the way, you should go grocery shopping later.

My dad complained about the side dishes.

Why don't you cook for him?

You're his son, you know?

Oh no!

Nice!

Good shot!

- Help me. - Look.

You're too tense right now. It will ruin your swing.

Here. Open up wide to the right, then swing gently.

Good. Nice shot!

- Was it okay? - It was great.

Hey!

What? "Nice shot"?

"It was great"?

Let me explain. Honey, wait.

How great, you jerk!

- Honey. - You're dead.

When will you get a grip?

Honey!

Ow, my legs. My back hurts.

Who said you could get up?

A part of the scallion flew here.

But how did you know I was here?

Hang on.

I'll do it.

Here. Give it to me.

What are you doing? You should help with this stuff.

You said you had a meeting.

Should I call your manager?

Well, there was a meeting…

Fine. I'll call him.

I quit my job.

I mean,

they gave me the works because I messed up a contract.

Seriously. Everyone makes mistakes!

Have you lost your mind? When did you quit?

Not too long ago.

Exactly when?

In the spring?

Last year.

Almost a year ago?

My goodness.

Then you've been pretending to go to work every day?

Where did you get the money to golf?

Come on. My severance pay.

They give you quite a lot.

I don't know what I would've done without it.

Seo Chung-jae, you scumbag.

I'm going to kill you tonight.

HEAD MANAGER GU WON

Ta-da.

You're here.

This is how I've been working with my employees.

- Here. - There's more?

Strength, weakness, opportunity, threat.

What do consumers perceive to be our strength?

Our strength?

I'm calling in regard to Dubai Hotel.

Yes.

Mr. Gu.

I heard Ms. Gu had all of the executives

stay up all night for a week writing the proposal.

Will we be able to beat them?

It's going to be a head-to-head battle.

We're not here to fight.

We're here to work.

I know that, but they keep picking a fight.

You trust me, right?

Of course I do.

You got this!

Okay. Go ahead.

Present it to him.

Yes, ma'am.

Goodness.

SURVIVAL MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

You've come quite prepared.

The key point is simple.

It's about the overall reduction of our fixed and variable expenses.

The first expense to consider is payroll.

We should hire fewer full-time employees and create more contract positions.

Will we have enough employees for peak seasons and banquets?

We can employ trainees or part-time employees.

Wouldn't that affect our service quality?

No. They will be trained before banquets,

and they'll only have to serve meals. It won't be a problem.

Additionally, if we implement a smart check-in and check-out system,

we will be able to gradually reduce manpower.

"Discontinuing the shuttle bus,

slimming down the employee cafeteria menu,

and eliminating water and snacks in the staff lounge."

You really tackled everything.

It's survival management.

What's the expected effect?

It's expected to save

about a billion won a month and over ten billion won a year.

Ten billion won?

Head Manager Gu,

do you know how many standard rooms need to be sold to make ten billion won?

In terms of standard rooms, about 34,000.

How precise.

Do you still think cutting costs is ineffective?

Yes.

Our Mr. Gu here sounds so confident.

Whatever you say from this point on

needs to be worth more than ten billion won.

A hotel

should not just focus on selling rooms.

It should provide a memorable experience.

In order for the employees to serve from the heart,

- the company must support-- - Enough with the theories.

Talk about the money, okay? The money.

Then,

should I start with

a hundred billion won?

What?

I offered management consulting to 170 local hotels around the world,

and 30 hotels

signed management agreements with us.

As you may know, a management agreement

grants us a portion of the hotels' profits

in return for our name and services.

The expected annual return

is more than 35 billion won.

When did you get all of this done?

A six-star hotel under construction in Dubai has offered

to make King Hotel a hotel chain.

We've already signed a chain contract

with Comfortabele Resort of Belgium,

a newcomer to the industry.

King Hotel will no longer remain a domestic brand.

You will be able to see King Hotel all over the world.

This was only possible

because King Hotel won the World of Best Talent Award.

I didn't accomplish anything on my own.

It's thanks to the people who built this hotel over 100 years,

which includes everyone here.

The company makes the employees.

And the employees make the company.

You mentioned casual employment.

That would make it easy to hire people briefly and get rid of them.

But it would also make it easy for them to abandon the company.

So those ready to abandon each other will be working together.

Let's not do that anymore.

In my opinion, this project

will bring in more than a hundred billion won.

What do you think, Ms. Gu?

Cost reduction

is something that any company must achieve,

no matter how great the increase in sales is.

Yes, I agree with you on that.

But the thing is…

whenever I traveled overseas, I always thought the same thing.

"Why does this country not have a King Hotel?"

"Why can't we become a worldwide hotel chain?"

It's not like we don't have enough resources.

Right?

Mr. Gu,

what is the reason?

I think it's because King Hotel doesn't have an established brand image.

It's just one of the numerous luxurious hotels out there.

However, an image is not made easily.

It needs to be built up over time.

Fortunately,

our hotel has a 100-year history.

With the 100th-anniversary event,

it can be said that King Hotel

has gained its own image.

Mr. Gu.

Starting next month,

you're the president of the hotel.

Be at the forefront and make King Hotel the best hotel in the world.

- Father… - You should do whatever you can to help.

You can do that, right?

Yes, I will.

You accomplished

what I desperately wanted to do.

Why don't you give up on the hotel, ma'am?

I think it'd be best for you to focus on Air and Distribution.

That might be more effective.

The hotel is smaller in scale compared to Air and Distribution.

But the thing is,

I don't want to give him anything.

Is there a reason why you can't give up on the hotel?

Because Won likes the hotel.

All the more reason not to give it up.

SEOUL FAMILY COURT

Are those divorce papers?

Since when did you ask me such questions?

Even if you get a divorce, it can't be now.

It's not the right time.

You should wait it out.

Mr. Choi.

You've known me for a while, right?

I've worked for you since you were young.

Have you ever seen me give up on anything?

No.

So why would you say that when you know that very well?

"Give up on the hotel"?

There's only one way for Won to possess the hotel.

It's when I abandon it.

Only then will it be possible.

I understand.

You may leave.

Thank you.

This is unbelievable.

Did you hear the news that's hot off the press?

What is it?

Mr. Gu outrivaled Ms. Gu and is finally going to be the president.

Really?

If I knew this would happen, I would've gotten on his good side.

Sa-rang, can we have a word?

Yes, ma'am.

You will be on special duty.

You won't be working in King the Land for the time being.

- Just me? - Yes.

Special orders from the chairman.

The chairman?

I'm sorry.

Ji-hu said it had to be you.

Please look after him while he's in Korea.

That kid's a shrewd judge of character.

He knew you were our hotel's best employee right away.

I'm sorry,

but may I ask if I'm doing this as a King Hotel employee?

Let's call it a personal request.

It's the first time that he's ever asked me for anything.

I just wanted to grant my grandson's wish.

Did I go too far?

No, sir. I understand.

- But… - What is it?

Can I treat him like he's my younger brother?

I couldn't ask for more.

Ji-hu is an only child, so he grew up lonely.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ji-hu?

Mr. Ji-hu?

Where could he be?

Ji-hu!

Where in the world are you?

Are you over here?

What? You scared me!

How does that make you feel?

How dare you? Do you think you'll get away with this?

Watch out.

You'll get a taste of hell.

What?

Then did you call me to get revenge and torment me?

Why? Are you scared?

No, not at all.

If you're a man, you should play fair.

But you were hiding in a mask.

Maybe it's because you're a kid. Your behavior is ungentlemanly.

Don't call me a kid.

I'm not a kid.

Is that so?

You're right.

Seeing how childish you are, you're not a kid.

A baby. You're a baby.

You're a baby, right?

Don't call me a baby!

- Bring it on. - "Bring it on."

It's my turn.

I won, so now you have to speak politely.

Let's play one more time.

It's ten to zero.

You said it was the last round.

Just one more round.

- Do you want to play that much? - Yes.

Then how should you ask me?

Sa-rang,

can we play one more round,

please?

Good.

All right.

- This is really the last time. - Awesome!

Not up…

Try again. Ready?

One,

two,

three.

Good job.

It's tasty, isn't it?

Yeah.

By the way, I have a question.

Why do you do that?

Why do you act nice in front of the adults,

then bully the weak?

Is that fun?

I do what I want.

You don't have any friends, do you?

Only nobodies make friends.

I don't need them.

I knew it.

Who would want to hang out with a grump like you?

That's not true.

I'm just not making any because I don't need them.

That's what you want to think.

No, it's not.

You need to be nice if you want to make friends.

If you pick on people and bully them, you won't make any friends.

So don't be like that from now on. Got it?

Let's go inside now.

Can we play a little more?

Are you asking me a favor?

All right. Just because it's a favor.

Yes!

Okay. Let's play.

Grandpa!

Why hello.

You must've had a lot of fun.

Yes. We're going to play again tomorrow too.

Go upstairs and wash your hands.

I'll bring some snacks.

Okay, Sa-rang.

I've never seen him look so happy.

It's like you're his actual sister.

Thank you.

Don't mention it. I had a lot of fun too.

You were home.

Why are you here?

I'll be working here for the time being.

The chairman asked me to look after Ji-hu.

He asked you to look after Ji-hu?

You don't have to. I'll talk to him.

He asked me respectfully.

He didn't order me to do it as the chairman.

He asked me out of love for his grandson,

so I said yes.

But still, how could he ask you to do that?

I already agreed to it.

I'm having fun in my own way, so don't worry.

All right, fine.

But you have to tell me if anyone gives you a hard time.

Okay. I will.

So this is Head Manager Gu Won's room.

- Can I look around? - Of course.

But how long are you going to call me by my title?

We're not even at work.

Fine, Mr. Won.

What's "Mr. Won"?

I don't know.

It's the king carp.

This…

It was so hard

trying to put these pieces back together.

Why did you go to the trouble of doing that?

It's a memory

from our first date.

What's this?

Wait.

Is this when you started liking me?

Well, not exactly.

- Give it back. I'm embarrassed. - Gosh.

- No. - Come on.

- Come on. I'm embarrassed. - No.

- Give it to me. - No.

- I'm embarrassed. - No.

- Give it back already. - No.

What are you doing in my house?

So this is

the bed that you sleep in, Mr. Won.

Sa-rang.

Are you in here?

Sa-rang, are you in here?

Ta-da!

What are you doing here?

Hide-and-seek!

You have to hide this time, okay?

- Ten, - Hold on.

- nine, - Count slowly.

eight, seven,

six,

five,

four, three…

two, one!

Here I come!

Ji-hu, that punk. He didn't even knock.

It was exhausting, right?

I heard parenting is the world's hardest job.

I think that's true.

By any chance,

have you ever spent time with Ji-hu?

When Ji-hu was younger, I was studying abroad.

And when I was in Korea, he was abroad, so our paths rarely crossed.

Why do you ask?

Just because he's young, but he already looks so lonely.

- Ji-hu does? - Yes.

It feels like he has no one around him.

He's so well-behaved and mature, so I had no idea.

Kids being mature is not a good sign.

Adults should be the mature ones.

Even being mature as an adult is hard.

Ji-hu,

you should sleep in your bed.

Ji-hu.

You're home, Uncle Won.

Yes. Let's go sleep upstairs.

Mom isn't home yet.

I think your mom will be late.

Why don't you go to bed early and see her tomorrow?

I missed her yesterday and the day before that.

I really want to see her today.

Can I just wait for her?

Sure, go ahead.

Okay. Thank you.

Mom!

Why are you still here?

Did you not go to the US?

Can't I stay here for a little longer?

I told you that now's not a good time.

Why won't you listen?

I'm sorry.

Go to your room.

Okay.

You sure prepared a lot behind the scenes.

I told you.

You don't deserve to be the owner of the group.

You talk like you've already won.

Do you really think it's over?

You're so naive.

Is the company all that matters?

Does Ji-hu not exist to you?

Do you know how long he waited for you?

What?

Does he remind you of yourself?

You always cried, looking for your mom.

But you know what?

Ji-hu isn't you.

And I'm not like your mom.

Don't give me advice from your lowly perspective.

How arrogant of you.

It's my first time in your room.

It's your first time back in a while.

Is there anything you want to do?

I'm okay.

Well,

if you happen to think of something,

please let me know.

We can do it together.

- Ta-da! - It's gimbap!

You made all of this yourself?

Of course I did.

Here.

- Ji-hu. One, two, three. - Hold this.

- Here. - You're good at this.

I'm pretty good.

We did it.

I'm going to grow up to be like you.

Why?

You're cool.

You're the coolest person in the world.

Thanks for saying that.

However,

there's one thing I did that you shouldn't do.

What is it?

You have to cry when you want to

and laugh when you want to.

If you're mad, get mad and make a fuss.

But most importantly,

if you miss someone, tell them that you miss them.

Whether it's your mom or your dad.

Can I do that?

Of course.

Being honest isn't a bad thing.

It means you're brave.

I…

want you to become a brave person.

A brave person is the coolest person.

Even cooler than me.

Then…

can I stay in Korea for a little longer?

- Is that what you want to do? - Yes.

I never got to play with my mom yet.

Okay.

I'll help you do that.

Really?

Thank you.

- Ji-hu. - Sa-rang!

What is that?

Tornado potatoes. Have you tried it before?

- No. - You haven't?

- Give it. - You want it?

You can't have it.

Here you go.

You're not here to talk about work, are you?

No, I'm not.

Then

may I speak casually?

Yes, you may.

I've been waiting.

Waiting for you to come find me.

You're…

the one who sent me my mother's personnel record, right?

There's something I'd like to ask.

Do you think you can understand your mom now?

No.

There's no need for that anymore.

It happened so long ago.

Do you want to know where she is?

It's okay.

I just wanted to know the truth.

I never wanted to see her.

Thank you for being honest with me.

I'm hungry.

Let's eat.

- Soybean paste stew? - Doesn't it smell good?

Yes, it looks so good. Can I have a bite?

A bite?

Nice.

I'll cut this too.

This is mind-blowing.

Just one bite.

- Enjoy your meal. - Enjoy your meal.

Soybean paste stew.

Rice.

And rolled omelet.

This is nice.

Are you not going to meet your mom?

I wanted to know why she left me.

Now I know. That's enough.

It could've been because she loved you so much.

If she loved me,

she should've stayed by my side no matter what.

Whatever the reason may be, she left me.

That means I didn't mean much in her life.

There could be another reason that you're not aware of.

That's why I wanted you to meet her.

That way, you'd be able to know how she felt.

I don't want to think about my mom anymore.

It finally feels

as if I'm free from her.

As long as you feel at ease now.

Yes.

Thank you

for bringing me all the way here.

KING THE LAND

"Third-generation chaebol's secret love affair."

How did you pick him up?

Share your secrets.

You have caused greater damage just for your personal gain!

We, the board of directors, oppose Mr. Gu's promotion to president.

I understand why Won likes you.

And it's scarier because of that.

Only the worst transgressors end up here.

Where is Ms. Cheon Sa-rang?
