Isn't anyone home?

Jaeun!

- How have you all been? - Good. Welcome.

Jaeun, welcome. Have you been well?

I'm happy to see you. You've gotten prettier.

What brings you here?

I have something to say.

Really? Sit down then.

- Mother, sit down. - Yes, let's all sit.

Yes.

Tell us. What happened to the contract fee?

It's about that. I settled it.

I've postponed the contract for 6 months.

Postponed it?

I'm not selling the farm.

So you don't have to move.

Really? You're not selling it?

That's right. It's not because of you...

I just changed my mind.

Jaeun, thank you, but there's no need.

We've found a house and signed the contract.

We have to move soon.

Jaeun, rest a while and have dinner.

Let's all get up and finish packing.

Let's all get up.

Come on, get up.

Get up. What are you doing?

We have to finish before it gets dark.

Honey, get up.

Mom.

Okay... Let's get up.

Rest for about 30 minutes. Watch TV.

We'll finish in around 30 or 40 minutes. Let's go.

- Let's finish up. - Yes.

Here... The remote.

- Do you want a drink? - No, it's alright.

Okay then. Watch TV.

Mom, is it alright to do this to Jaeun?

It wouldn't have been easy to make that proposal.

Dad was too quick to refuse, wasn't he?

- Do you think so too? - Of course.

I think Jaeun's shocked.

Changsik must really be sick of all this.

He's so firm. He didn't even think twice.

Grandma, Jaeun came all the way here.

I think he was too rash in refusing her offer.

It wouldn't have been easy for her.

Even if we do move...

We should at least discuss it as a family first.

Shouldn't we at least talk about it?

Do we have to move anyway? I bet you were tempted too.

I was so happy when she said we don't have to move.

Of course I was tempted.

What are you doing? Go up and get it.

Yes.

Changsik, I want to see you. Bokja, come out too.

Everyone come out.

Come out here.

Well... Changsik...

Jaeun came all the way here to propose an offer to us.

Shouldn't we at least have a family meeting about it?

Yes, mother. You're right.

We should get together and discuss it.

Yes, dad. We always have meetings over important issues.

Mom, sit down. You all sit down too.

Yes, let's sit down.

Let's give our opinions then.

If I say my opinion first...

I'm firm about this. Let's move.

We already signed a contract. We decided, so let's move.

We only put in a little money to secure the house.

What are you saying then? You don't want to move?

No, not exactly...

Goodness. Think about the pain you went through.

I'm sorry Jaeun has to hear this, but that's how I feel.

I get sick of this farm just thinking about your pain.

I don't want to live here anymore.

You went through a lot. I watched by your side.

You couldn't sleep at night for months.

You'd sit around with a blank look on your face...

Then when you did fall sleep, it was only for 2 or 3 hours.

The new house is small and it will be tough going to work.

I know that. Also, Jaeun has changed her mind and come here.

I'm so grateful that she came all the way here.

But let's move. I don't want to live here.

Yes, I guess he's right.

The written promise has brought chaos into this house.

We worked so hard to make amends for that.

Thinking of that...

Let's move, no matter what.

Sometimes, we must let pride decide for us.

We may be poor but we shouldn't stay here.

Jaeun, I'm not saying this for you to hear.

It's got nothing to do with you. Don't feel hurt.

I know, but Mr. Hwang...

I feel the same way. I think we should move.

This isn't our farm. We have to move one day.

In which case, before mom and dad get any older...

It's easier to adapt to a new environment now.

I want to finish developing the new duck feed...

We can't raise ducks or even grow proper vegetables there.

- Don't be greedy. - I'm not being greedy.

Think of the boys. This house is already far from work.

That house is even further. They'll be exhausted.

They'll travel if they have to.

A lot of people go to work to Seoul from Gyeonggi-do.

Mr. Hwang, I have something to tell you.

I didn't tell you this...

This farm isn't totally mine yet.

I used the contract money to pay off my stepmom's debts.

I haven't returned the contract money yet.

They promised to cancel if I can pay it after 6 months.

What do you mean by that?

This farm's yours only if you pay that money in 6 months?

Yes, but not the entire amount.

I'll be paid for copyright and I have some money left.

So I have to raise $50,000 in 6 months.

Put this farm on security to take out a loan then.

I can't do that.

I promised to pay with only money earned on this farm.

If I do that, I don't need to pay a cancellation fee.

You have to earn $50,000 from this farm in 6 months?

Yes.

Can you stay here at least another 6 months?

I need you and Mrs. Hwang to help me.

That's what I have to say.

How will you earn $50,000 from this farm?

We have to develop new feed and sell more ducks.

We'll run an experience farm from winter to spring.

I'm going to enter as many contests as I can too.

It won't be easy but it's not impossible.

Moving out isn't the issue at the moment then.

This isn't time for you to be angry.

Please help me, Mr. Hwang. I really want to get this farm back.

Jaeun, how will you earn $50,000 in 6 months?

You still don't want to?

That's not important. This isn't a joke.

How will we earn $50,000 in 6 months?

I'll do it. I told you.

If we create new feed and sell more ducks, we'll manage.

- What's gotten into you? - Don't you know how I feel?

Do you think this is because I don't want to move?

I'm indebted to Jaeun.

She still won't look at me.

I don't know why she doesn't want to sell the farm...

But this feels like a dream.

I thought I'd never see Jaeun again.

I thought I'd be labeled a thief forever.

And now Jaeun's asking for our help.

How can we refuse?

I would earn $100,000 if I need to.

Don't you understand?

Did you reach a decision?

Mom, we thought over it. I think I have to stay here.

If I don't protect this farm, then who will?

We're not moving.

Let's give it a shot. It can't be that hard.

Thank you. I know I can do it.

Jaeun, you're so brave.

Aren't you scared about the $50,000?

I even pitched a tent in the yard.

You survived in the wild. I bet nothing scares you now.

Are you going to stay in the attic again?

Isn't that the most efficient way if I'm to work here?

Of course. Go and get your things right away.

After dinner, mother.

Yes, after dinner.

Jaeun, welcome back.

I'm so happy to hear that you'll be back.

It's good to see you smile. I feel so relieved.

Yes. Welcome back!

Let me remind you. I haven't forgiven you yet.

Shouldn't we have a welcome back party, grandma?

Let her just bring her things first.

Taehui, you take her.

Yes.

What is it? Are you still mad?

Mad is an understatement.

What? She looks at least 12 years older?

She has no shame?

She's turning 40 soon? She's over the hill?

Yeoul told me what you said. You weren't any better.

You said men have to be successful and he has nothing.

So what? That's a fact!

- He really has nothing. - Don't be like that.

You look really unclassy.

He's not even 30 and hasn't received his parents' help.

Men like him end up more successful later on.

Having a good background isn't everything.

Go and sleep at Suyeong's house again tonight.

I don't want to. You go if you're so worried.

Sleep there for a while. They're suspicious.

What will I tell them now?

We already used the boiler as an excuse.

Then...

Tell them we fought.

What will Taebeom think of me?

The father-in-law who fights and brings his pillow over?

I guess...

Just tell them the boiler is faulty again.

Don't you feel like eating? We should've eaten out.

No, it's okay.

Where did you go earlier?

I just met someone.

- Who? - Just someone.

Han Hyeryeong?

I saw her in front of the general manager's office.

- It's her, right? - Yes.

How did you know?

I saw her photo last time. Jihwan recognized her as well.

He said he worked with her.

Really?

You must've been happy. How many years has it been?

- 3 years. - 3 years...

Is she back for good?

I don't want to talk about it.

Okay.

- The news item... - What did you talk about?

Are you curious?

No, it's okay. Let's eat.

Thanks for the meal.

I missed you.

I...

I got divorced.

How have you been?

Good.

Have you been well?

Not really.

Actually... Me neither.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

I'm sorry about that day. You must've been shocked.

No. I can understand why you got angry.

Did you meet her?

No.

Should we go?

Yes.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Give me your backpack too.

Yes, Producer Kim.

It's okay. I can talk.

10 o'clock tomorrow?

Yes, I'll be there on time.

I know. Of course...

Yes, alright. I'll do my homework.

No, I always think about it.

Yes, you too.

Get in.

Okay.

Goodness!

So you're the eldest son's boy...

Hello, I'm Baek Jaeun.

Hello, my name is Guksu.

Let's be friends, okay?

Hey, Hana. How have you been?

Jaeun, why has it been so long since I saw you?

I don't know. It's been too long.

- Are you living here again? - Of course.

Then do I have to bring you toilet paper every morning?

Mother, the rice cakes are getting bloated. Let's eat.

Yes. We haven't had such a full table in a long time.

- Let's all enjoy our meal. - Thank you for the food.

This is rice cake soup with oysters!

It's good. Very refreshing.

Of course. Look how many oysters are in it.

Is it rice cake soup with oysters or oyster soup with rice cakes?

You like oysters, so I put in a lot.

That's the problem with you.

If we like something, you make it all the time.

Look. Oyster soup, oyster pancakes, seasoned oysters with vegetables...

Why didn't you make the rice with oysters then?

Actually, that's for lunch.

Grandma, I love rice with oysters.

I should come back again for lunch.

Goodness. Come anytime you like.

- You're always welcome. - Because of the ducks?

You're so quick.

How does it taste?

It's not too bad.

Guys, I'm back!

Did you miss me?

Ojak, you've gotten so big.

Ari, have you been well?

You walk fine now.

Should I lay out new sawdust to celebrate my return?

Mister. Can you move the sawdust sack in the shed for me if you're free?

I'm busy.

Busy?

You can be Duck 1. You're Duck 2. You're Duck 3. You're Duck 4...

What should I name you?

Hey, Mister! Are you leaving for work...

Mother, why are you so happy?

I feel happier the more I think about it.

They say life is like a box of chocolates...

Just 2 or 3 days ago, I felt so sad with no reason to live.

Taehui's gotten brighter, hasn't he?

Taehui's brighter and Jaeun's back too.

The atmosphere has changed in an instant.

We had such a great dinner and breakfast too.

More than anything, you look like you've gotten 10 years younger.

I'm happy too, mother.

I thought Jaeun would never see me again.

You've gained a lot of fortune, that's why.

Don't say that, mother.

I don't deserve to be so fortunate.

You raised Taehui well.

Changsik and I should serve you for the rest of our lives just for that.

Mother... What's gotten into you?

Just because I don't say so, don't you know I'm always grateful?

I felt it once more after what we went through.

You raised Taehui well.

What do you mean? You raised Taehui.

You don't always have to cater to me.

Taehui's good to me to make your life easier.

You know that, right?

Don't think I don't know.

I've gained some wisdom in my 80 years.

And of course he should act that way.

You're Taehui's mother. Once I'm gone...

You're the one who will be by my son's side.

I've imprinted my gratitude toward you deep in my heart.

I will never forget that, even after I die.

- Mother, are you... - I'm not ill.

I'm not going to die on you. Don't get scared.

At least not any time soon.

Yes, mother.

Have this. It's plum tea.

Thanks.

How about premature Alzheimer's?

Patients in their 20s and 30s are increasing and it's also in a drama.

It's not bad, but a little weak for the first item.

How about leukemia patients from semiconductor plants?

Another worker has been diagnosed recently.

UBC reported that in March. It's nothing new.

The discount trend in apartment prices...

Yes?

Good to see you all so busy.

I have someone to introduce.

Come inside.

This is Han Hyeryeong.

She's a writer and she'll be working on "Beyond the Truth."

- And here... - We've met.

- It's been a while, Hyeryeong. - Hello, Mr. Gong.

Oh, I should address you as Department Head Gong.

You worked on "In Depth 100 Minutes" together, didn't you?

I heard you two were a golden combination.

Finish the introductions for me...

Shall we all sit down?

You sit here, Hyeryeong.

Let me introduce Hyeryeong.

We worked together at UBC on "In Depth 100 Minutes."

After that, "Human Project Love," "Daily Current Affairs..."

She's worked as the writer on a lot of programs.

She's one of the few writers than I acknowledge.

- You haven't changed a bit. - Really?

This is the team leader of social issues team 2, Cha Suyeong.

She'll help you a lot with items for our program.

It's her fourth current affairs program. She's the most experienced here.

Really? Nice to meet you.

I'm Han Hyeryeong.

I'm Cha Suyeong.

I've rested a few years. I feel like a rookie again.

- I'll ask you for a lot of help. - Sure.

This is Hwang Taebeom. We'll be conducting the program together.

Say hello, Taebeom.

Taebeom.

You don't need to introduce us.

Taebeom and I went to the same university.

You know each other then.

Taebeom doesn't look pleased to see you.

3 minutes until we're on air.

- Are you all ready? - Yes.

The CEO will be watching so do good job.

- Yes, sir. - You can do it!

See you later.

- I'll leave it to you guys. - Yes, sir.

It's the final commercial.

2, 3. Action!

Hello, everyone.

This is "Hot People" where we meet people who were an issue this week.

Today's guests are the stars of IBC.

Gong Jihwan, Hwang Taebeom of the social issues department.

Welcome.

- It's nice to meet you. - Hello.

We must discuss the good deeds of Taebeom at this point.

He rescued a child in an elevator recently.

It was a big issue on the web.

You're known as the prince of justice.

And I heard your fansite exceeded 2,000 members.

- You must be happy. - I just did the right thing.

I'm grateful for all the support.

I'll work harder to live up to everyone's expectations.

You'll be hosting a new program, "Beyond the Truth."

Some say it's an attempt to soften the news.

How do you feel about this?

"Beyond the Truth" is a program that attempts to change

the viewers' perceptions that current affairs shows are difficult to digest.

We will be communicating and sharing with the viewers.

In the process, the format may be changed slightly

but we will not be attempting to change the content.

Reporting wrong deeds and stopping corruption...

It will be a high-quality program that will provide accurate reports.

If viewers empathize, ratings will go up.

Are you confident in achieving the highest ratings?

Yes, we're confident.

I'll ask co-host, Department Head Gong, the same question.

Are you confident in achieving the highest ratings?

They say ratings are up to the gods, so I can't say for sure...

But with Hwang Taebeom, I'm sure we'll achieve good results.

Ratings have become the goal of broadcasting these days.

Personally I hope "Beyond the Truth" won't be limited by ratings.

I hope it will be true to its objective and purpose.

With an earnest, deep approach to today's social issues...

I aim for a program that will be sincerely be on guard for our society.

I'm sure it will be possible with the prince of justice, Hwang Taebeom.

I'm just laying my spoon on the table that he has set.

You're so modest.

University students voted you as the broadcaster they most want to meet.

Any plans of lecturing?

I won't refuse if asked, but no plans for now.

I'm sure many universities will ask for you.

Taebeom's still no match for Department Head Gong.

I know.

I was so mesmerized by what he said earlier.

What if co-hosting damages Taebeom's reputation?

- Maybe we should stop him. - I think so.

Come meet me on the roof.

Are you going to keep working on "Beyond the Truth?"

It was planned to be hosted by Jihwan alone.

It will be alright if you pull out now.

Don't do it. Stop.

- Why? - Don't you know why?

No, I don't know.

Han Hyeryeong is the writer.

Why are you being so immature?

Can't you differentiate work from our personal affairs?

You know I wanted to do this.

I've dreamed of this. It's the chance of a lifetime.

It's my step towards a better future.

I know. I know that.

You'll get another chance.

You could be given a better program next season.

They say a third reporting team will be created soon.

Then you'll be the first in line to be the team leader.

This program doesn't have to be your only stepping stone.

No. I have to do this program.

I don't want to lose or give up.

You're going to keep meeting her then?

I only said I'd work. Don't overreact.

That's the same as saying you'll keep meeting her.

You'll use work as an excuse to talk to her and meet her.

- Cha Suyeong! - Don't do it!

Let's stop discussing this. I have nothing more to say.

I said don't!

Do you have to, even though I'm asking like this?

Yes, I do.

You know how much I wanted this.

Do you have to be so stubborn?

- Are you the team leader I know? - I don't like you meeting her!

- Stop it! - No.

- Don't do it! - I will. I am!

Hey!

She's old. What's the use?

She'll be 40 soon. She's over the hill.

What about your son? Men should be successful.

Why would Yeoul approach him? He has nothing.

- Taepil. - Yes?

Sorry about yesterday. My sister was too harsh.

It's alright. My mom was rude too.

- She talked about your age... - About you having nothing...

I went red in the face.

Let's go eat.

I'll have the pork cutlet.

Rice with fish eggs please.

- Do you want some? - No, it's okay.

You look like you want it. Have some.

It's alright. It has too many calories.

- My sister will scold me. - What? Why?

She says older women shouldn't get fat.

She gets angry if I put on weight.

I wanted to ask you. Why does my in-law...

Why does your sister have so much control over you?

Since the store opened... I can't understand it.

Even if she's a lot older than you.

She interferes too much.

You can't say a thing. She controls you.

It's always been like that. She worries about me.

Why? What's wrong with you?

You're pretty, tall and you're nice too.

Yesterday, she said you went to Parsons The New School for Design.

You should be proud of yourself.

Walk around confidently.

Didn't you hear what your mom said?

"She's old." Plus, I'm divorced.

But you're rich. Money can cover all that.

How old are you anyway?

You don't look 40 yet.

Have a guess.

A woman's neck and hands give her age away.

Thirty...

Five?

Do I really look my age?

I'm really old now.

I'm sad that I'm old and I can't even eat what I want.

Life is so sad, isn't it?

Can I have a piece?

Sure.

Eat as much as you like.

See you...

Dr. Hwang.

Yes, sir.

Why haven't you handed in the report from last week?

I'm sorry. I'll write it up.

Can't you even do that right?

It's like you've got a loose screw these days.

You're always late and keep making mistakes.

Do you know that your patient complained yesterday?

I'm sorry.

Dr. Hwang. Your patient's been waiting ages for you.

Oh... Yes...

- Hurry up and go. - Yes.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

- It's alright. - Is your back better now?

Yes, it's alright.

You still have to be careful.

Doctor, it hurts.

I'm sorry.

- Is that better? - Yes.

Does he really have a son?

Nurse Kim heard him speak over the phone.

He's 9 years old and he's mixed too.

No way. He's single.

What's this? Who has a son?

What is it?

Thank you.

- Bye. - Goodbye.

Christine...

This is from the Philippines.

Taesik. There's a package from the Philippines.

Do you know Christine?

Christine?

That's Angelica's sister.

Is there an address too?

Open it right away. No, no...

Taepil, bring it to the hospital.

Right now. Okay.

Christine...

It has an address...

Are you curious about what's in here too?

Yes.

I'm going to dad's hospital. Do you want to come?

Dad doesn't like it. I'm not going.

Don't say that. Come with me.

It's okay. Come on.

Let's go. Come on.

Dr. Hwang isn't here at the moment.

Would you like to sit down and wait for him?

Yes, alright.

- That must be his son. - Really?

- I don't want to. - Yes, boss.

I don't want to have an injection.

- Hello? - I don't want to.

Guksu, wait here. Don't go anywhere.

- Okay. - Don't cry.

Yes, boss. Speak.

Don't cry.

- Yunsu, sit here. - Don't cry.

Hello.

Hello? Hello?

Are you Mr. Turtle?

You look like Mr. Turtle.

Hey, turtle!

Goodness, Yunsu!

Are you okay?

Yunsu, are you okay? Get up.

Let me see.

Who are you? Why did you push my son?

Where's your mom? You don't speak Korean?

Where is this boy's mother?

- What's the matter? - Chief Doctor, I'm glad to see you.

Please find his parents.

So I can ask them how they educated their son.

Who are you? Who did you come with?

Can't you speak Korean? Didn't you come with your mom?

Mom! Mom!

He's my son.

He's my son.

What's the matter?

Goodnight.

Guksu.

Sleep here from tonight.

Let's sleep together from tonight.

Yes, dad.

Jaeun, don't forget tomorrow's meeting with Director Yang.

I found a few files. I'll take it to the farm now.

Should we go on our first date while I'm there?

Okay, it's late. I'll just give you the files.

Yes.

I'll call you when I get there. Bye.

Yes?

Why are we postponing the purchase of Ojakgyo Farm?

The groundbreaking ceremony is coming up.

- If the president finds out... - I'll tell him myself.

Please follow my orders.

I'll conduct a meeting about the theme park tomorrow.

I'll give you the details then.

You should go home. Shall we leave together?

Aren't you cold?

It's gotten a little cold.

Thank you.

You're angry, aren't you?

No.

This morning...

Yes, Producer Kim. Are you here?

You're at the front door?

No, I'll go out now.

Stay right there.

Okay.

I have to go. I'll see you later.

Don't go.

Don't meet Kim Jeha.

I don't like you meeting him.

I don't want you to meet him.

I don't like seeing you on the phone with him.

And I hate seeing you smile at him.

Baek Jaeun, you're turning me into a wreck.

I keep doing the wrong thing and saying sorry again.

"I'm sorry. That won't ever happen again."

But then I think I will do the same thing again.

So don't meet Kim Jeha.

I couldn't keep my promise.

My feelings for you haven't changed at all.

Baek Jaeun.

I...

I...

I still like you.
