(Episode 19)

Mr. Son.

Can I talk to you for a moment?

Mr. Son.

Mr. Son, stop right there!

Mr. Son, we need to talk!

Mr. Son.

Mr. Son, I need to talk to you.

Mr. Son!

Gosh, move over!

My goodness.

- Gosh, what happened? - Darn it!

Mr. Son!

Wait!

Where did he go?

(Guseong Resort's 2022 Vision Proclamation)

With completion scheduled for 2022,

we are planning to develop...

a tourism and leisure complex with an exhibition center,

a water park, a theme park, and a foreigner exclusive casino.

Please look around the construction site after the briefing.

It will be a mammoth project on a lot of 17 million square meters...

with 900 million dollars of private investment...

and 300 million dollars of government support,

which is 1.2 billion dollars in total.

For this project,

we've organized a team of specialists...

and sent them to overseas resorts...

for their opinions and advice for the past few years.

I don't have any personal connections with him,

and we're not doing any business together.

Why would a former employee be here to meet me?

Yes. Well...

For detailed information on investment and construction,

please refer to the handout.

Excuse me.

Is anyone in there?

No one's here?

If he didn't do anything wrong,

he wouldn't have run away.

There must be something.

He will come back if I wait here.

Why isn't she calling?

- Mom. - Gosh, you startled me.

Did that wench come to work yet?

She's on a business trip.

A business trip?

What kind of business can she take care of?

I sent her for something important.

Just mind your own business.

Fire her. You have to fire her immediately.

Gosh. Will you grow up?

Ms. Geum is facing a huge task now.

Why would I fire her?

Why would you let her take care of something important?

- Do you have dementia or something? - You silly punk!

That hurts. Why did you hit me?

Hae Jun is directing...

the investment briefing at the resort now.

But you're just busy drinking and dating.

You promised me you'd work hard...

if I allowed you to date that guy.

Why aren't you fulfilling your promise?

I don't know. I might break up with him.

Really?

Are you really breaking up with him? You can't change your mind.

I'm just thinking. I didn't say that!

Why do you keep changing your word?

I don't know. I'm still thinking. Don't tell me what to do.

It's giving me a headache!

My gosh.

People might think you're Yeol Mu's dad.

Mr. Choi went out of town, so I'm looking after him today.

You sly brat.

- What? - The granddaughter of Guseong.

How could you not tell me about it?

I've been through a lot of things, so I couldn't tell you sooner.

How long have you been dating her?

It's been almost two years.

You've hidden it for two years?

Gosh, you're unbelievable.

I didn't mean to hide it though.

So it's been two years. Are you going to marry her?

I'm a nobody.

I'd be greedy if I wanted to marry her.

You're an honest and decent man.

That witch from yesterday...

Sorry.

Anyway, you are a way better person than she is.

She's a little immature because she grew up sheltered.

But she's kind at heart.

Gosh, look at you. You're so into her.

I'm glad that she's the first daughter-in-law's daughter.

Otherwise, we would've been related.

- What do you mean? - What?

You don't have to know.

My goodness.

What? Is Man Ho sick?

I guess he overtaxed his strength. He's coming down with something.

He should go see a doctor then.

Man Ho.

Honey, get up and take your medicine.

Man Ho, let's get you to a doctor.

I'll take you there.

I'll be fine once I take this medicine. Don't worry.

Being a baker, it must be hard for him to do manual labor suddenly.

I'm impressed he lasted this long.

The first daughter-in-law is the problem.

I started the lesson yesterday,

and she asked me to make her break 80 in a month.

She's being ridiculous.

I know you'll take good care of yourself,

but you should be careful around the family. They all are horrible.

Is this how Cinderella feels...

when she's back home after the party?

Today, my room feels more cramped and stuffy.

Hello?

Did you have a good sleep last night, Ms. Bang?

Yes. Did you have a good night's sleep too?

I was so excited...

that I couldn't fall asleep.

I haven't felt this way...

since I was in my 20s.

Speaking of which,

will you free up some time for me tonight?

I have something to tell you.

About what?

I can't tell you on the phone.

I want to say it looking into your eyes.

Looking into my eyes?

I'll see you in 3 hours and 20 minutes.

I'll go first and wait for you.

Okay.

I should go take a sauna...

and get my hair done.

I don't have much time left.

Gosh.

I'm out of breath...

and my legs are...

trembling already.

This is serious.

I'm in trouble.

- Thank you for the briefing. - Thank you.

- Well done. - Please take care.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I liked your briefing.

It was easy to understand.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

The briefing for investors...

was more successful than expected.

That Nazi seems to have a good grandson.

Dinner is on me. Let's go.

I should stop by the police station. You go ahead first.

The police station? Why?

The sewage from our resort is filtered at the treatment plant.

But last September when the typhoon came,

the power was out, and seawater flew backward.

So unfiltered sewage was discharged for a few hours.

Really?

It's an accident caused by a natural disaster,

so the local government didn't make an issue of it.

But the environmental organization filed a complaint.

We can't have a problem at an important time like this.

I'll go take care of the issue.

Pardon?

Hey, Yeol Mu.

Are you having fun?

I changed his diaper and gave him a bath, so he's feeling good now.

You must be busy with your golf competition tomorrow.

I'm so sorry.

The weather forecast calls for rain,

so I was going to skip the training.

What is the business trip for?

I need to meet someone urgently.

Excuse me.

I'll call you back.

Do you live here?

I don't live here,

but I'm waiting for the house owner.

Can I see your ID card?

My ID card? Why?

We got a call for breaking and entering.

Gosh, this isn't breaking and entering.

I just need to meet the house owner.

The door was open, so I was just waiting inside.

Just give me your ID card.

Okay.

Ms. Geum Bak Ha, I'd like you to come to the police station with me.

You have the right to remain silent.

And you have the right to have an attorney.

Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I was just waiting here. It's not like that.

If you refuse to come, we'll arrest you for obstruction of justice.

Arrest me?

I'm sorry for the trouble we've caused, sir.

It was beyond your control.

What a hard world we are in.

Guseong Resort has contributed significantly to the community.

I'm happy to help you.

Thank you for your understanding.

You've come all the way here to explain the whole thing.

Now it's a lot easier for us to take care of the issue.

I'll make sure things like this will never happen again.

Okay.

I told you it's not like that.

- Let's go in and talk. - I didn't do anything wrong.

Director Na.

What are you doing here?

He's the director of Guseong Hotel.

And I'm an employee there. You can ask him.

He will tell you who I am.

There is always a way out of every situation, however bad.

I didn't expect to see you here.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

What is going on?

She was caught breaking and entering.

Breaking and entering? My goodness. You're unbelievable.

It's not like that.

I'll tell you the details later.

Just help me now.

Do you know her?

No, not really. Please take care of her by protocol.

What is happening?

- Director Na. - Let's go.

Director Na, you can't just leave like this.

Gosh, let go of me.

Darn it.

I don't care.

I need to meet the house owner.

And the door was open.

So I waited inside.

You could've waited outside.

Why did you step inside?

He kept avoiding me,

so I had no choice.

Your name is Geum Bak Ha.

What's your address?

Nakwon Inn in Buam-dong, Seoul.

An inn? Don't you have a home?

I'm a long-term guest.

So you have no fixed residence.

Do you have a job?

I told you before.

I'm the General Creator's secretary at Guseong Hotel.

- Are you sure you're a secretary? - What?

(Guseong Hotel, Geum Bak Ha)

See?

Do you have anyone to vouch for you?

Of course.

If I call my family, they will be worried.

(Director Do)

I'll call my boss and put you on the phone.

(Secretary Geum)

You have no fixed residence,

and you have no one to vouch for you.

If the victim refuses to settle,

the case will be transferred to the prosecution.

Gosh, please wait a moment.

One second.

Where did she go? Why isn't she answering the phone?

I clearly told you.

I want to break 80 within this month.

You can't count your chickens before they are hatched.

How can a beginner shooting 99...

break 80 in one month?

A beginner?

I've played golf for 40 years.

Playing it for a long time doesn't mean anything.

If you shoot 99 with 40 years of experience,

it means you have no aptitude for golf.

How could you say that to someone who's here for golf lessons?

Do you call yourself a golf coach?

You're supposed to encourage me.

How could you be so rude to me?

That's not what I meant.

I can't take lessons being treated like this.

This is driving me crazy.

- Are you threatening me now? - Gosh, no.

I was just frustrated, so I was talking to myself.

Please calm down.

First, let me check your swing.

Here.

Okay.

You have a nice driver.

(Golf Driving Range)

Hello, Director Son.

She was just taken to the police station?

She's a reckless simpleton.

She needs to get her fingers burnt. Good job.

Okay.

All right. Call me back.

Gosh, how did Kang Jin Gu end up with that rough-and-tumble wench?

Oh, dear.

All right.

Don't try to swing with your arms.

After your backswing,

swing with your body.

Look who's here. Isn't that Do Hee?

I got it right.

- Nice shot. - That was amazing.

She's so silly.

Hello, Director Oh.

What? Did you start playing golf?

I started before you did.

Is anything wrong? I just asked, but why are you so upset?

I'm not upset.

My gosh.

I'm improving a lot with your lesson.

At this rate, I might break 80 in a week.

If you do it in a week,

I'll change my name from Gam Poong Ki to Kkan Poong Ki.

Kkan Poong Ki? That's a funny name.

Gosh, they are being ridiculous.

Nice shot.

Shoot!

Oh, shoot!

Shoot!

Gosh, how vulgar.

What's wrong with her?

I'm not used to the work,

so I was just strained.

I'll get better with some rest. Don't worry.

You're so thin, but you've lost a lot of weight recently.

You have the waist of a wasp's.

I just got rid of extra flab.

I've become a lot healthier now.

Do you lie sick in bed when you're healthy?

Yes?

- Here. - Gosh.

How are you feeling?

I got some rest, so I'm feeling a lot better.

My gosh.

You got sick because you overtaxed your strength.

You should eat well when you're sick.

I made vegetable rice porridge for you.

Make sure to eat it even if you don't feel like eating.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

My goodness.

I saved your life when you wanted to kill yourself.

And now you make me cook porridge for you.

I don't know what to say.

If you feel sorry, just make sure not to fall sick.

Okay.

What do we do? You're too old to ask for trouble.

And you're too young to retire.

You have no choice. Just hang in there and pull through.

Okay, I will. I'll get through it.

I have groceries in the kitchen. They're for everyone.

So make some health food for him with them.

Thank you.

We had no place to go, but thanks to you,

we could gather our hearts and live on like this.

I don't want your compliment.

I'll just be happy if you make a lot of money and move out.

- Gosh. - Let him eat.

Thank you.

She sounds a little abrupt,

but she cares about you a lot.

I know.

I have nice people around me.

What about your wife?

I've been blessed with a good wife my whole life.

Open your mouth.

Mak Rye.

I'm home.

Hey.

What's that?

These are oxtail and beef brisket.

The guests in the inn are...

suffering from weak health, so I bought some.

I should make soup with this so we can eat together.

You're running short of money. You're even behind in your rent.

Why did you buy oxtail?

Here.

Take this.

It's a check.

1, 2, 3...

Is this enough?

I'm paying my rent in advance.

Where did you get the money?

I robbed a bank.

- What? - It's a joke.

Just tell me the truth.

The guy who was waiting for me at the door the other day.

The manager of my morning soccer club.

He borrowed a lot of money from me before.

And he's paying me back.

Gosh, it's been more than ten years.

Hey, you're stuck in your room during the daytime.

I didn't see you all day.

Where are you going at this hour all dressed up?

Are you...

Do you work at a bar?

- Gosh, Mama Bok! - You startled me.

I don't think that's the case.

Are you dating someone?

Is that right? Are you seeing someone?

My gosh.

You just got swindled out of all your money.

And you're dating again?

I'll strike it rich this time. Don't worry. See you.

I like your leather coat.

Mak Rye.

I guess...

it's time for us to start our thing.

Start what?

You know what I mean. Why are you acting coy like that?

- My goodness. - What's wrong?

- Will you wake up if I punch you? - Gosh, stop it.

If you hit me with it, I'll break my bone.

It's stronger than an iron pipe.

- I'll go wash up. - Where are you going? Stop there.

I'll go get changed.

Darn it.

I'm more nervous than when I got married to my wife.

Gosh.

Wait. What if I smell of the relaxing pill?

Yes?

So you have something to tell me.

Yes.

I'll be frank.

The moment I first saw you on the stairs of the golf course,

I just fell for you.

With the golf shoe you left,

I prayed fervently to see you once again...

before I died.

I guess my prayers were answered.

I finally met you again like this.

And I don't want to miss this precious opportunity.

So here's the thing.

I'd like to spend...

the rest of my life with you.

What do you mean?

I'd like to go out with you with marriage in mind.

(Episode 20)

Here.

These are the results of my medical examination.

Medical examination?

As you can see, my biological age is in the 50s.

I will be strong as a bull for the next 40 years.

You're right.

(Cerebrovascular Disease Risk Assessment)

No risk.

And...

this is a token of my promise.

It is a small gift.

Oh, my. How many karats...

Do you not like...

the necklace?

It's not that.

Please give me some time.

This is all so sudden.

I can't give you my answer right away.

I understand. I really do.

Yes.

How long do you need?

Just give me one month.

Do you want to see an old guy die?

One day is like a thousand. If you ask me to wait a month,

that's like telling an old guy like me to die.

I will give you three days.

That's impossible.

Then, just give me a week.

Let's each compromise a little.

Let's make a reasonable agreement.

How about five days?

1, 2, 3,

4, and 5 days.

- Five days? - Yes.

There is no need to drag this out.

Let's agree on five days.

Today, I will say goodbye for now.

Why?

You want to go home without having anything to drink?

My head is a mess right now.

I should go home early and get my thoughts in order.

Wait a minute.

I look forward...

to hearing good news.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness.

I expected this.

But it's disconcerting when he asks me out like this.

Should I accept?

Or should I refuse?

I have no time to be in here like this.

I have to find Mr. Son quickly...

and get back to my Yeol Mu.

Detective.

Detective.

This is so unfair.

This is all a misunderstanding.

Yes?

Please have a drink.

I brought my car. But thank you for asking me.

Of course.

I heard that President Na picked you out as his heir...

when you were in high school.

- Today, I found out why. - I know.

When I heard you got your MBA degree at Harvard,

I thought you were a paper chaser.

I never thought you would have such a sense for actual business.

Please stop praising me so much. I'm getting dizzy.

- Please have a drink. - Yes.

I hope you will continue to help me in the future.

Director Son also worked very hard.

It would have been nice for him to be here.

Are you talking about Mr. Son Byeong Gi?

Do you know him?

I heard about him a few times.

Ms. Oh trusted him deeply.

She must have talked about him to you.

I don't have any personal connections with him,

and we're not doing any business together.

Why would a former employee be here to meet me?

At the briefing, I noticed Mr. Son was part of overseas inspections.

He is especially talented in financial management.

When Ms. Oh signed a contract with an artist or bought...

any artwork overseas, she always took him with her.

Why did he leave the company?

He has a bad liver.

His health deteriorated recently.

I think he wants to rest and recuperate.

Oh, dear.

I didn't know you were here. I looked all over for you.

(Invitation to Publication Party)

What is this?

There will be a publication party here a little later.

Publication party?

It sounds much grander than it actually is.

It's just a gathering for friends.

I will talk a little about how I lived.

It's just a small gathering.

I know you won't participate in such a humble party.

But I wanted to give you the invitation.

Did you give this to Do Hee too?

Of course not.

You two looked really close back there.

I don't become close with just anyone.

I have to laugh and talk with people because of my job.

I'm not an easy person who opens up to anyone.

Are you saying I'm not just anyone?

You are such a special person.

How can you be just anyone?

Why is she twisting around like that?

It looks fishy over there.

If it wasn't for his age,

he is the perfect prince.

But he is the grandfather of the prince.

He is too good to hand over to someone else.

But he is not good enough for me to keep.

This is a dilemma

Why is he calling all of a sudden?

Hello?

What are you doing?

I'm at the park, thinking.

- Come to the driving range. - Now?

My publication party is taking place here today.

You need to come here and lift up the atmosphere for me.

I don't feel like it.

Do you know how much I helped you?

People need to know how to give and take.

- Don't you know that? - Okay, I get it.

You are only a third-rate writer.

He has to do everything others do.

Come to the front of the inn.

I waited for you the whole day.

You didn't even call me to say you were sorry.

What do I have to be sorry about?

You deceived me.

I didn't deceive you.

You didn't tell me you were living in an inn.

I am sorry I didn't tell you.

But I didn't do it on purpose.

I couldn't tell you because I knew you'd be upset and worried.

I overdid it, yesterday.

I am sorry.

Do you really think that?

Yes.

Then let's go in and apologize to the elders.

Are you crazy?

Why would I apologize to people I don't even know?

You insulted them.

You've become delusional living in a place like this.

- Hae Ri. - I look easy because I came here.

I always apologize to you first.

So you're not afraid of anything.

I've never felt like that.

Just because I like you,

you think you're some great guy. You need to wake up.

Don't try to control me. Understand?

Your girlfriend still seems angry.

Yes.

She doesn't have an easy-going personality.

There is no easy woman in this world.

Do you know why I dealt with flour all my life?

Baking bread is easier than pleasing women.

Oh, what are you saying?

Looking back at my life, if it's meant to work out, it will.

If it wasn't, it won't work out no matter how hard you try.

Leave it to time.

- I'm sorry. - What about?

I heard the reason you lost your job...

was because of Hae Ri's mother.

You're talking nonsense.

What has that got to do with you?

Of course. It's nothing for you to apologize about.

Oh, my.

When Ms. Oh signed a contract with an artist or bought...

any artwork overseas, she always took him with her.

Why would mom lie to me?

Then as Ms. Geum said, the man she saw at the gallery...

Could it be Mr. Son?

Ms. Geum Bak Ha, come on out.

- Me? - Yes.

We checked your identity so you can come out.

Did you talk to Ms. Do?

It's you?

If it wasn't for him, you would have stayed here another day.

It's your first offense and you don't have any criminal intent.

So I'm letting you go without sending you to the prosecutor.

Thank you.

(What can we help you with?)

I turned back...

after thinking of Yeul Mu spending the night without his mom.

Thank you.

I will never forget this kindness.

Did you see Mr. Son?

He ran away as soon as he saw me.

- Let's go now. - Wait.

You go ahead first.

- Aren't you going home? - I...

I want to drop by Mr. Son's house again.

Haven't you come to your senses yet?

Do you want to get arrested again for trespassing?

Even if I get arrested again,

I have to meet him.

Let's go.

I will take you there. Let's go.

You will be blessed.

Are you there?

Mr. Son Byeong Gi. Are you in there?

I'm Kang Jin Gu's wife. Just talk to me for a moment.

- Please. - There is nobody there.

He took everything and moved out during the day.

- He moved out? - Yes.

He moved out during the day.

Why did he move in such a hurry?

There was absolutely nobody during the day.

The movers came and took everything.

Do you know where he went to by any chance?

How would I know that? I don't know.

What are you doing?

I want to go in and check the place.

Do you want to get arrested again?

It's an empty house. It won't matter.

Help me over this.

Really.

Be careful.

Darn.

He really left in a hurry.

Are you all right?

I lost him.

He was my last chance.

Let's go now.

It's no use staying here.

- You go ahead first. - What about you?

I will stay and wait for him.

He is not coming back.

Can't you tell by the fact that he reported you to the police?

There are things he left behind.

He will come to get them.

These things...

These are worthless. He won't come back for them.

Let's go now.

I'm not going.

I can't go.

Are you going to stay here like this?

Are you? It's cold.

Okay, do what you want.

Why does it have to rain?

Stop acting so pitiful and let's go back to Seoul.

Yeol Mu will be waiting for you.

Yeol Mu.

Why?

Why are you crying suddenly? What did I do?

Stop crying.

If I was going to give up so easily,

I wouldn't have come here in the first place.

I will find him for you.

I will find Mr. Son for you.

Do you mean it?

Do you think I'm bluffing?

I will find him for you.

So let's go home.

I promise.

Okay?

You're finished crying, right?

Yes.

Wipe your nose.

I deserve to be...

nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. There is no boss like me anywhere.

Aren't you grateful?

I am grateful.

I will never forget this kindness.

It's all right. Forget it.

Let's go.

(Conversation with the Writer)

(Publication Party Writer Gam Poong Ki)

Coach Gam looks like the Chinese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro.

My favorite movie is "Chungking Express."

(Publication Party Writer Gam Poong Ki)

I knew something was up.

He must have fallen into sesame oil. He looks so greasy.

(Publication Party Writer Gam Poong Ki)

("Gloom of Seoul")

(Conversation with the Writer Gam Poong Ki, Korea's Baudelaire)

("Gloom of Seoul")

(Korea's Baudelaire)

(Publication Party Writer Gam Poong Ki)

Let's take a picture.

Look.

Take it.

You came early.

Oh, my.

What are you doing here?

I saw women coming here in groups.

I followed them to see what was going on.

Did you get an invitation from him?

What's the big deal? I don't need an invitation.

I can come if I want to.

But didn't you tell me...

you had an important dinner engagement at the gallery?

It was canceled.

Really?

(Milky Skin, Gam Poong Ki I Love You, Gam Poong Ki)

We will now start Mr. Gam's publication party.

Please give him a big hand.

- Gam Poong Ki! - Gam Poong Ki!

- Gam Poong Ki! - Gam Poong Ki!

Let's go, Gam Poong Ki!

Thank you...

for taking the time from your busy schedule to come here.

I bow deeply with gratitude.

You're so good looking.

I sometimes get this question.

Why would a golfer want to write?

Honestly, I don't know either.

I've been hitting golf balls for over 30 years.

I still don't know clearly why I'm doing it.

But I still do it.

- He is so cool. - He really is.

He is so cool.

I have lived for over 40 years.

I still don't know clearly what living is.

That is why I write.

- So true. - Right.

"Gloom of Seoul" is my first book.

I wanted to find the unknown meaning in our lives.

Just like a golfer who focuses all his attention to hit the ball,

this is my record...

of hitting the balls that are called words here.

Bravo!

- Let's go "Gloom of Seoul". - He said nothing special.

- This woman is overdoing it. - Let's go "Gloom of Seoul".

I know.

We can talk more later.

First, I want to...

convey my thanks with a song.

- Yes! - Nice!

- This is so nice. - So nice.

- I have to record this. - Yes.

And now

The end is near

So I face

- So greasy. - The final curtain

My friend, I'll say it clear

I'll state my case

Of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

I've traveled each and every highway

And more

Much more than this

I did it my way

- Milky skin, Gam Poong Ki. - Regrets

- I love you, Gam Poong Ki. - I have a few

Gam Poong Ki is so cool.

Who is that?

It's that woman from before.

You meet your enemy in strange places.

I'm so happy to see you.

What are you doing?

- Calm down, Do Hee. - But then again

- Calm down. - What's happening?

If you have something to say, do it after the ceremony.

Don't you know who I am?

How should I know?

The Gold Miss Korea Contest.

Do Hee.

You are Mr. Na's daughters-in-law?

Yes, now you recognize me.

Madam, violence is bad.

You should calm down and talk it out.

This is embarrassing.

Let her go.

What are you doing?

Calm down!

(Nakwon Inn)

Are you sleeping?

I will look after Yeon Mu. You should go to sleep.

Of course not.

You are an athlete. You need to go to sleep.

I can doze off during the day.

But...

did you make up with your girlfriend?

Not yet.

I'm in no position...

to tell you to do this or that.

Since you are an athlete, you need to date a nice woman...

who can comfort you and let you focus on your sport.

I understand.

Mak Rye, are you sleeping?

Why?

- You're awake? - What's the matter?

I came...

to get Yeol Mu so you can sleep comfortably.

Why isn't he sleeping?

What about you two?

We also came to take Yeol Mu to sleep with him.

Our Yeol Mu...

is so popular.

Everyone wants to sleep with you.

She is not waking up even once.

She is something else.

(Nakwon Inn)

We're here.

Ms. Geum, we're here.

Ms. Geum.

Ms. Geum, we're...

Gosh.

She must have been exhausted.

(Nakwon Inn)

I don't understand why you pay so much attention to Secretary Geum.

- Do you... - You were close to Mr. Son.

Why did you tell me you didn't know him?

Hospitals are so expensive. I don't need to stay here.

Honey!

A person's life is much more important than money!

To your house?

I'm alone.

Someone is here.

Is he sleeping?

It's your daughter-in-law!
