Original subtitles

(Child actors were accompanied by a guardian...)

(and filmed in a safe, supervised environment.)

Apparently, this was in my things when I was adopted.

Your birth mom would recognise you if she saw this picture, right?

Yes, I guess so.

Mom!

- Gosh, you scared me. - Come out here, quick!

- Why? - Hurry!

- What is it? What's wrong with her? - Just a second.

Seriously, what's gotten into you?

- For goodness' sake. - Hurry up.

(Episode 23)

Mom, how does Auntie look? It's her first official day,

so I styled her to have that powerful CEO vibe.

- Is that what this was about? - So, what do you think?

Dong Suk, you look so elegant. Really classy.

You think so?

- Won't her boyfriend be floored? - He already is.

Come on, you guys.

Auntie, what's the big deal? Why so secretive about him?

What, is this some kind of forbidden romance?

What?

What's with that look? That's super suspicious.

Don't tell me.

What? What is it?

Auntie, don't tell me...

You're not dating a married man, are you?

Hey! Seriously...

Stop talking nonsense and get ready. We're leaving together.

Why? Why are you leaving with Eun Bin?

- Oh, it's... - Well...

I'm also going to my part-time job. Right, Auntie?

That's right. Our shifts start around the same time,

so we decided to head out together.

Oh, Dong Suk. Is Dr. Gong's family coming tomorrow?

Yes, my father invited them,

but I'm not sure if all of them will be able to make it.

What do you mean? Is there a reason they wouldn't?

No.

I hope they all come.

Right.

You two should get going. Eun Bin, come on, you'll be late.

- Get your things. - Okay.

(Sunny Korean Medicine Clinic)

Jeong Han...

Yes, Councillor Hwang.

Of course. I haven't forgotten our appointment.

I'll see you shortly.

Yes, I'll be coming alone. All right.

What was that?

(Sunny Korean Medicine Clinic)

Jeong Han.

Oh, boy.

Hey!

Is he meeting Councillor Hwang alone?

Come on. No way.

He'll probably ask us to come along later.

Right? You really think so?

Yes. The fact that he came here to work with you guys...

means he's already forgiven you.

He's just too embarrassed to suddenly change his tune.

Hey, did you give Jeong Han the punishment list?

Of course, I did.

It totally worked. Don't you worry.

Good.

You trust me, right?

Right now, I...

It feels like all those good moments we had are tainted,

and it's tearing me apart.

That's why you should forgive them. Because you're the one in pain.

Mom once told me...

that forgiveness is about setting yourself free.

It's a choice you make for yourself, to let go of your anger.

"The punishment list is..."

"a self-imposed disciplinary pledge..."

"Yang Dong Ik wrote..."

"to acknowledge his past mistakes and help restore his friendship."

This is driving me nuts.

What the heck is Gong Jeong Han thinking?

Hey, Se Ri.

Honey, did Dr. Gong show up for the joint consultation?

Yes, he came and left.

That's a relief. I guess he's starting to come around, right?

That's what I thought, but...

Get this, that jerk...

He's going to meet Councillor Hwang alone.

Alone? But why?

How should I know?

You don't think he'd rat us out to Councillor Hwang...

for uploading that video, do you?

Jeong Han isn't trying to get back at me, is he?

Of course not. He came in for the consultation,

and he agreed to be on "Human Theater."

We have the pre-interview tomorrow, plus Dong Suk's grand opening.

He's probably making peace slowly. Don't be so anxious, okay?

(Korean Medicine Doctor Yang Dong Ik)

All right.

By the way, why did you call?

Right. I forgot I was the one who called.

Honey...

Could you give Hyun Bin a call?

Hyun Bin? Me?

You should call and ask him to come to the grand opening tomorrow.

Are you that uncomfortable about what happened...

that you can't even call Hyun Bin yourself?

It's not exactly that.

Since things are awkward between you and him too,

I figured you should at least hear his voice.

Fine.

This is so frustrating.

If Hyun Bin isn't marrying the VP, then who on earth is it?

Gong Ju Ah.

Yes.

Gong Ju Ah must know who it is.

At the grand opening tomorrow, I'll ask her behind Hyun Bin's back.

(Taehan)

You're revamping the FG online store?

Yes.

The longer people stay on the site, the more likely they are to buy.

Okay.

At the next board meeting,

I'll propose switching your contract to long-term.

You're just thrilled to tie me down, aren't you?

Totally.

But...

why are your families on bad terms again?

I thought things got better after your stepmom...

helped Ms. Gong at the disciplinary hearing.

She wasn't helping her.

She was just cleaning up her own mess.

What? What do you mean?

That video...

My parents were the ones who posted it.

Hey, seriously?

She uploaded that video of herself rolling down the hill?

Yes.

Wow, his stepmom is something else.

Tell me about it.

So, wait.

She almost got you fired, and then played the saviour?

That's some next-level scheming.

Gosh, are you sure you'll be okay? She's one intense mother-in-law.

But what can I do? I like Director Yang so much.

Man, Director Yang must be having a really hard time with this.

Still, I'm actually...

kind of grateful to your stepmom.

Why? Because the video helped us go viral?

Well, there's that.

Your stepmom seems like one of those people.

You mean?

Terrifying if they're on the other side,

but a rock if they're on your side. You know?

Honestly, I felt this when we were studying abroad too,

but she's a remarkable woman.

She'll go through anything for her family.

- I wish I could be like that. - By all means.

(Taehan Group)

Yes, Dad.

Your stepmother's been good to you. Yet she has to walk on eggshells.

How can you make her so afraid to even call?

My stepmother's walking on eggshells around me?

Your aunt's store is having its grand opening tomorrow.

Come and properly apologise. Got it?

Ju Ah's family is letting it slide, but he's back to yelling at me.

Unbelievable.

So for them, Dr. Han Seong Mi is the only one in the dark, right?

Yes. If Dr. Han had found out, she wouldn't have just let it go.

- That would've been interesting. - Yes, a real riot.

By any chance,

about me hiding my relationship with Ms. Gong...

Were you really upset?

Well, I was, but I'm over it now.

Because I've got a new guy friend.

What?

A guy friend?

You're the Vice President's new guy friend?

- What? Are you jealous? - No, I just can't believe it.

Why not? What's wrong with me?

You know, she jumped at the offer.

That's a relief.

Actually, it seemed the VP and Director Yang...

were growing distant because of me,

and I was getting a little worried.

Don't worry about them. Hurry up and get your fathers to make up,

and clear this all up, will you? This fake boyfriend role is just...

super uncomfortable and creepy. It's also a great insult...

to my future girlfriend!

Hey, I'm trying my best, you know. Since you met my family,

Director Yang has been in a terrible mood.

Of course, he is. Imagine how jealous he must be.

Hey, stop provoking Director Yang. You're going to get punched.

He wouldn't dare.

Because I've got the VP in my corner.

For crying out loud. I can't with you...

This all looks good, but...

doesn't this one feel a bit jarring?

Should we ask them to desaturate it a bit?

Well...

No flirting on company time. Have you forgotten where you are?

It's not what it looks like.

We saw Mr. Park and Ms. Gong nearby on Sunday.

- And? - They had a bouquet and a gift box.

- And what's your point? - They wore matching outfits.

- Matching outfits? - Matching outfits?

Yes.

It looked exactly like they were going to meet the parents.

No way. Those two are just best friends.

Well, sometimes best friends end up dating, right?

That's how it was with us.

- What? - I think I got something in my eye.

- Want me to blow it out for you? - Yes, do it.

Hey, open your eyes. Open up. Come on.

Hey, what are you doing?

How else can I get it out? Come on, open it. I'll get it out.

- Don't. It's gross. - Come on.

- Why? What's the big deal? - Hey.

You see, I...

I think I saw Dr. Gong.

- My eldest son? - No.

Your husband.

Dr. Gong, the one who left home 30 years ago.

Where did she say she saw Gi Cheol?

At a place in Seongdam. She said it was an optician's shop.

What about In Ok?

Did she say anything about my wife?

No. I was so flustered...

that I didn't think to ask.

What should we do?

Boss, the grand opening rice cakes are here.

- Good, they're here already. - Oh, they look delicious.

- Hey, stop that! - That hurts!

Hey! What is that on your nails?

What? I did my nails to look pretty for Woo Jae.

Woo Jae, what do you think? Pretty? I did them myself.

Eun Bin. This is a restaurant. You should keep your nails short.

And tie your hair up. Why is it all over the place?

Yes, you should tie it back neatly like Min Seo does.

Can you not compare me to her?

Oh, looks like more flowers arrived.

"To my beloved Endorphin."

"To Suk?"

(To my beloved Endorphin, Suk)

What? And you're telling me you don't have a boyfriend?

Hey, it's just a friend messing with me.

A friend? What kind of "friend" sends this?

Right?

Eun Bin, does your aunt have a boyfriend?

Yes. I think it's someone from Onjeong.

- Oh, really? - Yes, I heard they went to a motel.

What? A motel?

Why are you so shocked? They're adults. What's the big deal?

I'll find out who this guy is. You just wait...

Gosh, Auntie!

Eun Bin, you take the rice cakes to the market's A-wing first.

If you run out, come back for more. Woo Jae...

Why do we have to go separately? I want to go with Woo Jae.

So it can feel like a date.

Hand them out and return to prep. What are you talking about?

No way. I want to go with Woo Jae. That's why I took this job.

If you keep this up, I'm telling your mom.

That's a low blow!

- Just hurry up and go. - Thanks.

- Gosh, this is heavy. - Hurry back.

Gosh, seriously...

- So I'll take the B-wing, right? - Yes, take the small box for that.

And take this one to your dad's clinic.

All of this? It's way too much.

Not at all! There are tons of people.

And also, your uncle...

has always loved these rice cakes.

I see...

- You knew that? - Yes. What?

Oh, of course.

Hey, do you have any idea how long we've known each other?

That's a relief.

So Uncle's crush isn't one-sided after all.

Gosh, but still, I'm really worried.

Here, open wide.

Oh, stop.

Oh, man. The doctors will make up, right?

Well...

Even if they do make up,

don't you think it will be difficult for you two?

"You two?" Who are you talking about?

The two of you who fed each other popcorn at the movies yesterday.

- What? - I saw you two at the movies.

Hey, you... Hush.

Don't tell anyone about this. Got it?

I don't know. Even if I don't say anything...

Looks like word's getting out soon.

Why?

You wear your heart on your sleeve.

If it's obvious, give me a sign. I absolutely can't let anyone know.

All right.

- Come on, eat. - Darn it...

Eat up.

- Uncle. Nurse Oh. - Hey! What're you doing here?

I brought rice cakes for our opening.

And Uncle, these are for you.

Wow, you brought a ton.

What kind of rice cakes are these?

Wow! This is... This is my favourite rice cake.

Of course. She knows exactly what I like.

- Just as I thought. - Oh, you're Dr. Gong's son.

Hello, ma'am.

- I brought these for our opening. - Grand opening for what?

I'm working at the barbecue place in front of the community hall now.

That place?

I thought I heard Dr. Yang's sister took over.

Yes, the restaurant reopened today.

Please stop by sometime when you have a chance.

- Okay. I'll be sure to stop by. - Great.

- Ma'am. - Yes?

You should bring your aerobics group for one of your get-togethers.

The restaurant is really spacious, so it's perfect for big groups.

And don't even get me started on how good the meat is.

But running a business is no joke. I wonder if she can handle it.

Why do you say that? She managed the clinic...

for years. All that experience has to count for something, right?

She's so easygoing and cheerful.

She's great with customers, too!

All right.

- Be sure to stop by. - Okay.

Hello. The barbecue spot by the hall just opened.

Please stop by. Thank you.

Hello! The barbecue spot by the hall just opened.

- You should check it out. - Okay, we will.

- Yes, hello. - Real subtle.

The barbecue spot by the hall just opened. Please check it out.

- Thank you. - Hello.

Are you here for lunch? I was about to head over to the substation.

- My gosh. - Here. We just reopened.

Thank you so much. I'll definitely stop by.

- Please do. - Will do.

Hello.

- Ma'am, one order of noodles. - Sure.

Hey, Officer Jung. Come over here. Join us. Come on.

Eat up.

Let's go with this for the main shot.

Man, it was hard picking a solo shot for Dr. Han.

Every single one is a keeper.

What if we post the B-cuts...

on our social media channels later?

I love that. That's a great idea.

Let's pre-release the main cuts before the show to build hype...

and post the B-cuts on social media.

That's a wrap for today.

Gosh, I can't stand it. I'm dying of curiosity.

I just have to ask.

- Ask what? - Ms. Gong. And Mr. Park.

What were you two doing on Sunday?

Mr. Park, you two were wearing matching outfits.

Did you meet Ms. Gong's parents?

What are you talking about? That's ridiculous. My goodness.

Matching outfits? Come on. Our clothes were just similar.

You two are dating, aren't you?

You went to meet the family, right?

Gosh, don't be ridiculous. She's not my type.

Gosh, please. No way I'd date her. That's disgusting.

Do you have to be so dramatic about it?

Mr. Park? A word.

Oh, sure.

Ms. Gong, are you sure it's not true?

Didn't you hear him? He literally said "disgusting."

You know what they say. The lady doth protest too much.

I said no! Just drop it, will you? Gosh, seriously.

So, you're the VP's "guy friend," are you?

- Yes, sir. - And who gave you permission?

- Do I need to get your permission? - Of course, you do.

So, you'll give me your permission, right?

- You pass. - Thanks.

So anyway, why did you ask me to meet you here?

I need help picking out a ring. You know Ms. Gong's taste best.

Well, you're not wrong there.

So, what's the ring for?

Are you planning on proposing?

I wish. I'm just buying it because I'm feeling a little down.

I think getting a ring will at least make me feel less anxious.

I'm sorry I'm the one who met her family...

and made a good impression.

What can I do? The situation is what it is.

But you know, both at home and at work,

it's so hard hiding my feelings like this.

The day will come when you can proudly go public.

I hope so.

What about this one?

This one is flashy and pretty. It would look great on my princess.

No. You really don't know her taste at all.

Then what about this one? This.

Oh, my.

This one. Do you think my princess will like it?

No, that one's not it either. I like this one.

- What do you think? - Wow, it's beautiful.

Then should I get this one for her?

Go for it.

Hello.

I called. I'm here about the Onjeong branch acquisition.

Yes. Hello. You must be Ms. Cha Se Ri.

- Please have a seat over here. - Okay.

Then I'll walk you through the transfer process.

Okay.

(Jogak Photo Studio)

Oh, here, let me get that. I'll carry it for you.

Thank you.

So what brings you to the market? Did you need to get something?

I was just buying books for Ji Hu and looking around.

- I see. Just expense all of it. - No, it's fine.

- No, really. Just a second. - Okay.

Hi, there. Can I get some of these wild greens, please?

Welcome! It's the doctor's wife. Making a side dish with them?

- Yes, and soybean paste soup, too. - I see.

By the way, who's this with you?

She's not your daughter, is she? A niece, perhaps?

No, I'm not.

She's my daughter's friend.

Oh, my! But it's amazing how much you two look alike.

I don't think so.

- Enjoy! - Thank you.

(Gong Myeong Jeong Dae Han Clinic)

Hey, Jeong Han!

- Hey. Off to see Councillor Hwang? - What? Yes.

What?

Darn it...

My gosh...

Hey.

I'll find out where he's going and call you.

You scared me.

I'll call you!

Honey.

I'll make you lunch at home until the store opens.

Father got indigestion from eating out a few times...

and can't even eat dinner.

Don't worry about it.

I'll make lunch and eat with Dad.

As if you know how to cook anything.

Here.

Why is Dr. Gong so insistent on meeting Councillor Hwang alone?

I have no idea what he's thinking.

Dae Han said he'd look into it and get back to me.

- Who? - Dr. Gong's younger brother.

He's been trying to win me over lately.

You know, Manager Gong?

Yes, I know who you mean.

He's the guy whose ex-wife cheated with Dong Suk's ex-husband.

That's all in the past now.

Dong Suk's moved on and is doing fine.

I heard she even has a boyfriend now.

It seems like she does, but she won't tell us who he is.

He's not a weirdo like Yong Gil, is he?

Should I do some digging? See what kind of guy he is?

So? Wait. Did it go well with Councillor Hwang?

Hey, were you waiting for me?

Yes, of course. I was worried something might happen.

But why did you go alone? You should've gone with Dong Ik.

Gosh, you guys agreed to team up, so are you still holding a grudge?

Come on, just tell me. Why did you meet him alone?

Hey, you're so persistent. Seriously.

Come on, tell me. What was it about? Did you say something bad?

Why did you ask to see me alone?

Meeting with both of you was my wife's idea.

Frankly, I'm not a big fan of Yang Dong Ik.

And it sounds like his wife is pretty unlikeable, too.

I see.

Dr. Gong.

Do you have to be on that show with him?

If it were just your family, I'd be happy to join you.

Councillor Hwang.

My friend, Dong Ik...

Once he sets his mind on a goal,

he has the guts to endure any kind of humiliation.

One, two, three, four!

- Once he gets focused on something, - Like this! Our Onjeong Market...

he tends to dive in head first with real passion.

Sales will increase fivefold!

I, Yang Dong Ik will solve everything for you.

He's so pure-hearted...

- Oh, sure thing. - that even a single compliment...

makes him want to do anything for you.

The nearby areas.

And he's loyal enough to risk his life for a friend.

He handles civil complaints and keeps the areas clean.

He's the go-to problem-solver at Onjeong Market,

and he's working tirelessly for the development of the market.

If Dong Ik becomes a city councilman,

he will be a true public servant with his boots on the ground.

Because he has more scars than anyone,

he'll be able to empathize with those who are struggling.

And as much as he wants to be loved, he knows how to love in return.

That's the councilman he'll be, sir.

Oh, man!

Hey! You did great! You really did!

Wow, your dazzling friendship is bringing tears to my eyes.

Hey, stop being so dramatic.

Sorry. But what made you have such a change of heart?

After thinking it over, I could see where he was coming from.

Plus, I did promise I'd grant him one wish.

A wish?

You did save my life once, you know.

I'm going to grant you one wish.

A wish?

Of course. My brother is a man of his word!

It's all water under the bridge.

I decided to stop being so petty and move on.

Yes, that's really great. But...

Then you should tell Dong Ik right away.

He thinks it's the end of the world right now.

At this hour? We'll see him soon enough anyway.

Oh, I guess so.

Yes, I'll tell him. Now, as for you...

Stop playing spy, you little punk!

Hey, how did you know I was the spy?

Are you serious? How could I not? That punishment list!

You could've at least had someone else write it.

Your handwriting was a dead giveaway.

Oh, man. Busted.

Seriously, why did you go to all that trouble for him?

It's just... You guys...

You all worked so hard to mend your friendship,

and it looked like it was about to fall apart in an instant.

I was just so upset.

Gosh, you knucklehead.

Get some rest.

Hey!

Hey, when you meet Dong Ik and make up tomorrow,

make sure you say something like, "It's all thanks to Dae Han," okay?

- Please, okay? - Give me a break.

- Thank you! - That spy's my brother. Good grief.

How strange.

Something feels off.

Why haven't I heard from him yet?

He's not picking up?

- Unbelievable. - The call cannot be connected.

He's not picking up.

Don't tell me...

Has that punk Gong Dae Han turned on me, too?

(Yang Dong Ik)

Man, he must be sweating bullets right now.

Seriously.

Uncle, what are you laughing about over here?

Oh, Ju Ah. Hey, have a seat. Come here, I've got good news.

Why? What is it?

So...

Your dad said he's going to forgive Dong Ik.

- Really? - Yes. They're making up tomorrow.

Oh, that's such a relief.

See? Our little tag-team effort totally worked.

Wait, but Uncle, why are you so happy about this?

What? It's just... Hey, a win is a win, right?

- Yes, I guess so. - Okay, I'm heading down.

- Okay. - Oh, wait.

Oh, man. He must've been pooping his pants.

- Hey, I'm heading down. - Okay.

What was that about?

I should go tell my endorphin.

Oh, no.

I'll tell her when I see her tomorrow.

- Did you enjoy your meal? - Yes, it was delicious.

- Thank you. Come again. - We will.

My endorphin.

I have good news. I'll tell you tomorrow.

What a tease.

Gosh, who is he? Why are you being so secretive?

Get back to work. Stop following me around.

I wasn't following you. I came to tell you something.

Tell me what? What is it?

The families are coming tomorrow. My job here is a secret, remember?

If Mom sees me with Woo Jae, she'll flip out.

I don't know if all this is going to do you any good, though.

Looks like Woo Jae is into Min Seo, not you.

I know.

- You do? - Yes.

But it's fine. As they say, "Out of sight, out of mind."

I'm going to stay by his side and win him over.

I will not be denied.

- I like your attitude. Go for it! - I will!

(Damga Charcoal Grill)

- How is everything? - It's delicious.

He's great at grilling the meat, isn't he?

Go away.

Stepmother, why didn't you call me directly?

Why did you have Dad do it?

After you said you were disappointed in me,

how could I be the first one to call?

Did I upset you that much?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.

I was too emotional last time. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

It's fine. I wasn't exactly blameless either.

I'll stop by Aunt's restaurant after work tomorrow.

Okay, sounds good. See you tomorrow, son.

- Father. - Yes?

Aren't you hungry?

This is brown rice tea. It'll help settle your stomach.

When my stomach's upset,

it's better to skip a meal. Don't worry about me.

How could I not worry? Father, you're this family's rock.

So, do you like the shop you're taking over?

Yes, it's well-maintained and ideal for me to run on my own.

You'll do great at whatever you do, Se Ri.

I don't trust a single soul in this world,

but I trust you.

I'll strive to be a daughter-in-law worthy of that trust.

I'm always so grateful, Father.

- Mother. - You're home.

Why are you still awake?

I just... I have a lot on my mind.

But why are you home so late?

The BBQ restaurant opens tomorrow, so I have to be in early.

I was trying to get some work done ahead of time.

Goodness, but still. It's almost midnight.

- You can't keep pushing yourself. - Come on, Mother.

I'm a doctor. I know how to care for myself.

Don't worry. I take proper vitamins and supplements.

Even so,

why don't you get an IV drip at the clinic?

Okay, I will.

So, what did you mean when you said you had a lot on your mind?

Where? Where did they say they saw him?

In Seongdam.

No way. That's right around the corner.

It's not for certain. It was Ms. Yong Soon.

She said she saw him while visiting her daughter's house there.

So are you going to go see for yourself?

I don't know.

He's been so close by all this time without showing his face...

What's the point of looking for him now?

His story is predictable,

and I don't know if I really need to see...

the two of them living together with my own eyes.

Does Ju Ah's dad or his brother know about this?

I didn't tell them since it's not for certain.

I'll make time this weekend.

We can go together, Mother.

Mother.

People live to be a hundred these days.

It's not about the last 30 years. You still have another 30 to go.

For the sake of the rest of your life,

you need to face this and get closure.

My gosh.

Honey?

Did you stay up all night?

Gong Dae Han, that jerk.

That traitor.

I knew he wouldn't call. You should've known better.

I'm not letting him get away with this.

Father, where are you off to so early?

I'm going to the medicinal herb market.

You didn't mention it yesterday.

I guess you weren't happy with the quality of the herbs again.

- I won't be late. - Father! Eat something first.

You didn't even eat dinner last night.

- I'm leaving. - Wait, Father...

Where did Grandma go so early in the morning?

She said she had to run an errand at the Pharmacists' Association.

Ju Ah, will you be at the restaurant's grand opening?

Yes, of course. I'll be there with Director Yang.

Hey, bring Jun Hyeok with you.

- Gosh, no way. - What? Why?

Just bring him.

Well...

He's on a business trip today.

Hey, Gong Ju Ah. You're driving today.

- What? - Mom, you look really pale.

What? You're right. Seong Mi.

You look exhausted. You've been pushing too hard.

Hey, that's just what happens when you get old, okay?

At our age, it's normal to be tired. Come on.

- Dad, come on. - Dad, seriously.

What? No, I mean...

I'm the one who's tired. Gosh, I'm so tired. I'm exhausted.

- Gosh, why am I so tired? - I think I'll get an IV drip today.

After you have some of Dong Suk's barbecue today,

you'll get your strength right back.

One might think it's your girlfriend's restaurant.

I know, right? Why is he so excited?

- You brought the photo, right? - Yes. But it's very old.

So is mine.

Let's go.

Now that we might actually meet him, I'm getting cold feet.

(Paos Eyewear)

Oh, boy.

You're showing 30-year-old photos and asking if I've seen them...

I'm afraid I don't recognise them.

Right. I suppose that's fair.

Excuse me. Someone saw him getting glasses fitted here...

not too long ago.

- Let me check. Do you have a name? - Gong Gi Cheol.

Gong Gi Cheol...

I don't have anyone by that name here.

Some people get prescribed glasses without being added to our list,

or they just buy an off-the-shelf pair.

Have you seen this man, by any chance?

Thank you.

Excuse me, just a moment.

Have you happened to see this man?

Sorry, I don't recognise him.

Listen.

I guess the lady who saw him was mistaken.

If you're tired, should we head back, sir?

I think that would be for the best.

Okay.

- My goodness! Ms. Na. - Oh, Mi Hyang! It's you!

Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing you here.

I live here in Seongdam.

Oh, really? I thought you said you lived in Yongdugol.

I moved a long time ago.

As you know, I had my reasons, so I couldn't really explain.

Oh, I see.

My place is a mess, so I can't invite you over.

Oh, don't be silly.

It's so good to run into you like this.

By the way,

what brings you and Mr. Yang here?

Well, someone...

told me they saw my husband around here.

Dr. Gong?

You haven't seen him, have you, Mi Hyang?

No.

No, I mean... Gosh, if I had,

I would have been the first to call you.

Of course.

But...

it's been so long,

and my memory of his face is fading.

It's been over 30 years,

so I might not have recognised him even if I saw him.

Oh, I actually have a photo.

This one's also over 30 years old, though.

Here.

I wonder if this will help.

He must look a lot older now.

Yes, of course.

Still, I'll see if I can find him.

By the way,

how's your brother doing? Does he still have medicine?

You gave me more than enough when you thought you were moving.

Come by anytime if you run out. I'm not moving anymore, after all.

That's such a relief. I'll come see you soon.

I've kept you long enough. I should get going.

I'll look for him whenever I have a spare moment,

and if I see anyone resembling him, I'll call you right away.

Thank you.

Yes, Mother.

You didn't call, so I figured you couldn't find him.

But I'm glad you ran into someone you know.

Did she say she'd help?

No, wait.

Okay. I'll meet you at the BBQ place later.

Okay, Mother.

Still getting along so well with your mother-in-law.

I'm so jealous. I'm still at war with mine.

I told you, you should come in for a session.

No, thanks. Some families are beyond a prescription of love.

You've got about ten minutes left.

Can you speed it up? My appointments are all backed up.

I mean, I'm happy I got to see you,

but why didn't you ask your husband for an IV?

You know what he said? That it's because I'm getting old.

He dotes on his patients but is so mean to me.

It's a terminal condition.

Well, that's just how he is. He's always been like that.

- Mr. Fair-to-Everyone-Else. - Right. He's always on their side.

Let me draw some blood before you go.

Might as well run some tests while you're here.

Okay.

Mi Hyang.

I know you're busy, so please don't go out of your way.

Just give me a call if you happen to run into him.

Thank you.

(Pharmacist)

(Alterations)

Welcome.

Hey, how are your new reading glasses?

Is there anything you want to eat?

I was just making a snack for Ji Hu and me.

I was going to make something, but I was tired and took a nap.

You seem to have your hands full. I hear you'll be starting work soon.

Tell me about it. I'm busy with a million things.

If you don't mind, could I help you around the house?

Nonsense. You're here to travel, not to do housework.

I've done enough travelling.

There's one more person I need to see before I go back.

Who's that?

Just someone.

I hope you get to meet them.

By the way, while you're here, I'm your guardian,

so if you need help with anything, just let me know.

You seem a bit different from when I first met you, ma'am.

What's with the "ma'am?"

Honestly. Goodness, you're Eun Bin's friend,

so just call me Mom.

Then you should drop the formalities with me too, Mom.

Really? All right, then.

Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you something.

That time we first met, what did you say to me in English?

You were cursing me out, weren't you?

Would you like me to teach you some English?

My gosh, really? I would love that!

My English is a little weak. You'd think I'd be fluent.

- Right? - Yes.

And once I start my business, I'll have foreign customers.

- I've been dying to learn. - I can help you with that.

Really? That's perfect. Thank you.

Director Yang bought a ring for me?

Yes. He's holding on to it until your fathers make up.

I think that's when he plans to give it to you.

Wait, you're funny. Why would you tell me that?

Director Yang wanted to surprise me. Why would you go and spoil it?

You're so naive. You just don't get it, do you?

Look, he bought it because he's tired of the secrecy.

I'm giving you a heads-up so you can go and comfort him.

I feel bad for the guy.

Right.

All right, so for our next meeting,

I'd like each of you to come up with concept ideas for the launch show.

And please share the prep schedule with Dr. Han Seong Mi.

- Got it. - Got it.

Mr. Park.

Would you be interested in seeing the musical "Spark" this weekend?

- Me? - I have two extra tickets.

- Double date with Ms. Gong? - Yes!

Come on, it's not like that. We're like comrades, okay?

Actually, we are dating.

- What? - What?

But the thing is, my boyfriend isn't Mr. Park.

It's Director Yang.

- What? - Wait, really? Director Yang?

But Director, aren't you with the Vice President?

- You didn't just dump her, did you? - No, of course not. We...

The Vice President and I are only friends from school.

And my girlfriend...

is right here.

- It is, in fact, Ms. Gong Ju Ah. - What?

- What? - Since when?

What are you saying, Director?

- My gosh! - So you two... You're really...

- You're dating? - So, you're a couple?

- Give us a straight answer! What? - Quiet down. Everyone, quiet.

Mark my words. If this leaves the Design Team,

I'll hunt every one of you down and make your life a living misery.

Got it?

There you have it. You heard her. This stays between us.

- What is going on? This is insane. - Hey.

Dismissed!

Do you have any idea when this started?

I'm sorry for just blurting that out without talking to you.

For something like this, you never need my permission.

- Really? - Of course! Hold me down.

Otherwise, I might just float away.

- You're that happy? - Yes.

But why did you decide to tell everyone?

I thought you hated the idea of an office romance getting out.

I don't know. I was tired of people getting the wrong idea.

And for once, I wanted to be able to say it proudly.

I wanted to brag about what an amazing man I'm dating.

But don't get too touched just yet.

Why? Is there more?

My dad says he'll forgive your father.

- For real? - Yes.

(Reserved)

Is your whole family coming?

- Yes. Is yours? - Yes.

What's up?

Right now? Okay, I will.

Hey, I'm just going to run out and buy some wet wipes.

- I'll go get them. - No, it's okay. My aunt will go.

- Why? - Hush.

It's fine. I'll get them. You two carry on.

Be safe.

- Mom. - Yes?

Did everything go well at the Pharmacists' Association?

What? Yes.

Right. You're going to Dong Suk's grand opening later, aren't you?

- Of course, I am. - All right.

But Mom...

Yes, what's up?

Try not to be too surprised later.

What?

What...

Is something surprising going to happen?

Yes, there's something.

Come on, what is it?

It's a secret.

You're such a tease.

Yes, please go on in.

(Gong Myeong Jeong Dae Han Clinic, Sunny Korean Medicine Clinic)

Secret!

Hey!

- Hey. - You got something to say to me?

Can't say I do.

Are you going to keep this up?

I heard you have a pre-interview for "Human Theater" today, right?

You can hear about that from my brother later.

I'm running late, so I have to go. Bye.

Endorphin.

Dorphin!

I'm here.

We're meeting later at the opening. Is this to get our story straight?

So our lips could meet.

Are you crazy?

It was about our story! Is that why you called me?

No, I told you I had good news today, remember?

Right. You were going to tell me, weren't you?

Yes. My brother said he'll forgive your brother.

They're going to meet today and make up.

- Really? - Yes.

So today, I'm going to stand up before both our families and say it.

I am in love with Yang Dong Suk.

What?

You promised to go out with me if our families gave their blessing.

Quick, hide!

What? Why?

Why is she walking so fast? She's not a runner. My gosh.

Auntie! Where did she go?

My gosh. Where did she go now?

Where could she have gone? Seriously.

Auntie! My gosh, is that your boyfriend?

Hello, there. I'm her niece, Yang Eun Bin.

- Aren't you going to say hi? - Run!

Who is he?

Yang Dong Suk, you're so busted! Hey, wait! Who are you?

Who are you? Hey, you!

Where?

- Dong Suk, hide! - Oh, no...

- Where did they go? - She's here!

Unbelievable.

She's gone. Quick, let's go.

Come on, hurry up.

Seriously.

Where did they go?

Hide.

Hey, why are we running away?

If Eun Bin finds out, it'll get complicated.

But what does it matter? We're telling everyone later anyway.

Are you really going to do it?

Yes.

I really can't hide it anymore.

Hide what?

My feelings for you.

Wait, what? They ran off holding hands?

Oh, my gosh. And you didn't even see who he was?

That's a shame.

But listen, Eun Bin...

What about your bookstore job? Why are you with your aunt?

Oh, you got off early today?

Okay. I'll get Ji Hu, and we'll be right there. All right.

Okay. Let's call it a day.

But can I really just take it easy and read the source material?

I'm already so far behind the other students.

Studying under competitive pressure isn't helpful at all.

Let's try to have fun with it and not think of it as studying.

- Okay. - Right.

Yes.

- Are you done? - Yes, Aunt.

- How's it going? - Great. Ji Hu's a quick study.

Once he gets his confidence up, he'll improve in no time.

Right. Ji Hu and I have to get going.

- Want to join us, Min Seo? - No, I'm fine.

It's a family thing.

We're family if we live together, and we're family if we eat together.

Ji Hu's right.

We're family. So come with us, Min Seo.

Okay.

You're imagining telling your family that we're dating, aren't you?

Wow. How did you know?

Don't even think about it.

We have to sort out that whole mess with Mr. Park and my family.

I know. We just told the team today,

- so wanting more would be greedy. - Glad we're on the same page.

Today, I'm going to sit next to your dad and your uncle...

and let them pour me drinks.

I'm going to thank them for forgiving my father...

and express my gratitude personally.

Good.

You're here.

You two...

were meeting without me?

I had something to discuss with him.

What about?

Is there some kind of problem?

The thing is...

While getting merchants' consent, we heard about...

the long-standing feud between your families.

And?

So, the crew and I had a meeting,

and since we place the highest value on authenticity,

the "lifelong friends" concept just won't work.

So?

- So you're pulling the plug? - No.

We just need to change the concept.

Change it...

to what?

We'll highlight Dr. Gong's family as a long line of doctors,

and pivot to a concept of a harmonious family of doctors.

We think a lot of viewers would be curious...

to see what Dr. Han's family is like,

so we think the ratings would be great.

Instead, you could appear in the Merchants' Association episode.

The optics would be a bit better that way.

I...

told you this wouldn't work.

What are we going to do?

He looks furious.

I'll talk to him.

Our two families have already reconciled,

and I'll make sure there are no issues with the broadcast.

So let's just stick with the original concept.

Otherwise,

I'm pulling out, too.

(Damga Charcoal Grill)

Why are you drinking by yourself? No one else is even here yet.

Seriously, what's gotten into you?

Did something happen?

That's ridiculous, right?

We agreed and signed a contract. How can they change the concept now?

I know. That's why I told them it was out of the question.

- Bucket must be furious. - You have no idea.

I need to go calm him down. He just stormed out without hearing me out.

- My gosh. - Goodness.

Oh, Councillor Hwang.

- Dr. Gong. - Yes.

What brings you to the market?

I was at the Onjeong Police Station for a public safety meeting...

and thought I'd take a look around the market.

I see.

By the way, this is my wife, Dr. Han Seong Mi.

A pleasure to meet you.

I've heard so much about you.

I've heard great things about you as well.

Councillor Hwang, you and Dr. Yang should join me for dinner sometime.

Let's do that.

After hearing what you had to say, Dr. Gong,

I've had a bit of a change of heart.

- Thank you, sir. We won't keep you. - Take care.

- Fancy meeting him here. - Tell me about it.

- Hey! - Hey, you scared me.

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

Hey, you're the one who stormed out while I was talking.

When did you get so drunk?

What do you expect?

You're getting back at me, aren't you?

I can't believe you.

I saved your life!

Dong Ik, what's gotten into you? The family is coming. Stop it.

- Let's go inside and talk. Come on. - Hey!

How can you get under my skin like this?

Is this really what you wanted?

Oh, my.

Honey, what's wrong?

Se Ri, this jerk stole Councillor Hwang...

- and "Human Theater" from me. - It's a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding? I don't think so.

Hey, Gong Jeong Han. You...

You're trying to slowly destroy me, aren't you?

Fine. That video of my wife falling...

I'm the one who posted it!

- Hey, are you out of your mind? - Honey!

Let me go.

I'm so frustrated I could burst!

- I'm going to tell them everything! - Fine, go ahead.

Go on, spit it out.

What on earth are you talking about?

(Recipe for Love)

We've been caught.

What choice do we have? We have to break up.

The infamous Pacu Nacho is going to give up like this?

Since Dae Han has found someone new, you don't need to worry about him.

Just focus on your own happiness.

So, our kiss changed your mind?

You don't care if our brothers make up?

I have no intention of making up whatsoever.

I'm really starting to lose all hope.

Is he giving up on me?

Dong Suk, I'm sorry.
