Try not to go near the workshop.

Father hates being disturbed.

You never know what trouble you'll

get into if he finds you in there.

Tak Goo!

Get up.

Explain.

What?

Explain why you came in here at this hour

and made this mess.

Well... You see...

Hurry up and tell me!

You see...

This is my fault.

I found him taking a peek

at the workshop through the window.

I didn't want him to disturb you,

so I tried to take him away quietly,

but I guess I ended up scaring him.

Why were you peeking into my workshop?

Well...

Actually, I don't know either.

You don't know?

The thing is, I was sleeping.

And then...

And then?

I woke up to a delicious smell.

And before I knew it, I found myself here.

And then I saw you

waving your hands like this in there.

Like this.

This is my fault.

I should've advised him

not to go near your workshop.

Let's get out of here.

Come on.

You're interrupting the Chairman.

Yes, I'll go.

That's okay.

You can get back to work. Leave him here.

You want me to leave him here?

Yes.

In your workshop?

That's what I said.

You can go now.

You won't get a good look

at baking bread from there.

What?

- Come here and watch me. - Okay.

- That's too close. Take 2 steps back. - Okay.

I've never seen my dad make

that face in my life.

But, he did it to that hill billy.

By the way, Chairman...

No small talking during baking.

Okay.

Come here.

Eat it. It's nice and fresh.

Why? You don't like cream buns?

Don't like them? I love them!

I can't get enough of them.

Wow! This is the best tasting bread

that I ever had in my life!

It's the first bread that

my teacher complimented me on.

It's also the first bread

that I started going into mass production.

And it's also my favourite bread.

Really?

Cream buns are my favourite bread too.

By the way, do you always bake bread

in here every day at this hour?

I used to do it every day, but not anymore.

Running a company involves more than

just baking bread.

I sometimes need to deal

more with alcohol than bread.

I have a lot more paperwork

to take care of than recipes.

I see.

I have a question for you too.

You said that you woke up

to the smell of bread, right?

Yes.

But, you saw me before I started baking.

How did you smell it?

I'm not sure, but I smelled something delicious.

I smelled something sweet, like roasted sugar.

It also smelled a little sour, like malted rice.

I smelled something like this

whenever I passed by a bakery,

so I thought it was bread.

I see.

Why? Is something wrong?

Nothing's wrong. You can eat your bread.

Okay.

Aren't you going to eat?

Okay, I'll eat too.

Good morning, sisters.

Good morning, Ma Jun.

What's that?

They're bread.

I know. Why did you bring them here?

The Chairman told me to take

them while they're still hot.

The Chairman?

Did you just come here from the workshop?

Yes. Enjoy the bread.

Sit down. You should eat breakfast.

No, I had enough to eat.

Good morning, Mother.

Good morning, Father.

Morning.

You must've had some work to do.

Sit down. Let's eat breakfast.

No, thanks. I just ate at the workshop.

I'll go and get ready for work.

Does this mean that Father

had breakfast with Tak Goo?

In the workshop? Just the two of them?

I smelled something delicious.

I smelled something sweet, like roasted sugar.

It also smelled a little sour, like malted rice.

It's the smell of fermentation.

At first, it smells sweet,

like when you cook vegetable gruel.

It smells like the roasted sugar too.

And it also smells sour, like malted rice.

You can figure the fermentation process

by feeling the dough with your hands.

But, some people can figure it out

just by smelling it.

Meeting someone who can figure what bread

it is just by smelling the dough

is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Hey, can you figure it out just by smelling it?

No.

What about you, Gu Il Jung?

Like I said, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Meeting someone who was born with a talent

like that is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

We call those people geniuses.

Do you understand, you good for nothings?

But Tak Goo smelled it.

Is it true?

Yes, why? Was I not supposed to do that?

You were in Father's workshop,

sharing bread with him?

Yes, we had cream buns. Why?

Was I not supposed to do that?

Why? Why did you go to Father's workshop?

Because I smelled something nice in there.

Why? Was I not supposed to do that too?

Of course not.

You're not allowed in there!

Do you know that?

Really? The Chairman didn't say so.

What?

I bake bread here every

Sundays and Wednesdays.

If you want to see me bake bread,

you can come and watch anytime you'd like.

Really?

Stop lying.

I'm not lying.

Father never invited us to his workshop.

No one is allowed in there,

not me, not my sister, not even Grandma.

He said if we disturb him, it'll ruin his work.

Yet he let you come in?

He said you can come anytime you'd like?

Do you expect me to believe that?

Really?

What?

You've never been there?

Do you want to come with me next time?

There are lots of cool things in there.

Want to join me?

Are you crazy?

Why would I go there with you?

Why? You don't want to see him bake bread?

No, I don't.

I don't like the smell of bread.

I don't like eating it either.

I hate bread! Understand, you beggar?

Father.

I'm going to the factory in Cheongsan.

I'm going today because I couldn't go

last Saturday.

Get dressed and come down.

Tak Goo, you should get ready too.

What? I'm going too?

Tak Goo is going too?

We're leaving in 10 minutes. Hurry.

Okay, I'll hurry! I'll get ready right away!

What's going on?

Today is Sunday. Why did he go to the factory?

He couldn't go yesterday.

He took the kids there in the morning.

The kids?

Who else did he take besides Ma Jun?

Good morning.

What are you doing here, Tak Goo?

Let's go inside.

- Get back to work. - Yes, Sir.

What is he doing?

It's not supposed to lump up

when you grab it with your fist.

If it does, that means it has a lot of moisture.

That means the flour is not

suitable for baking bread.

Wow, you must be very smart

to know something like that.

Come with me, you two.

These four lumps of dough are fermenting.

Only one out of these four is

suitable for baking bread.

Can you guess which one?

The third one.

He learned a lot from coming here

with the Chairman for a year.

Take a guess, Tak Goo.

I doubt he'll be able to do it.

I don't know.

Are you sure?

To be honest, I don't think it's in here.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying that I was wrong?

I never said that you were wrong.

I just said that it's not in here.

What's not in here?

None of these smell like what

I smelled in the Chairman's workshop today.

This smells sweet like vegetable gruel.

These two smell sweet like sugar,

but they're just sweet.

This is the closest one, but...

But...

But what?

The dough I smelled in your workshop had

a clear and sour scent.

I don't smell that from here.

That's why I don't know the answer.

So, that means you don't know the answer.

The bottom line is,

Ma Jun got the answer right.

But, Tak Goo wasn't wrong either.

None of these smell like the dough you smelled

in my workshop today.

What you smelled in my workshop

used live yeast.

But in the factory, we use dry yeast

because of the expiration date.

That's why they smell differently.

Excuse me, but are you saying that

he can distinguish how fermented

the yeast is depending on how it smells?

You saw him with your own eyes.

By the way, where do these breads go?

Seoul, Gyeonggido, and

even Chungcheongdo.

I also have two other factories.

One in Gyeongsangdo, and one in Jeollado.

You have two other factories like this one?

Yes.

I'm going to build two more in Jejudo

and Gangwondo next year.

Wow!

By the way, what are those boxes for?

Why are they in a different colour?

1 out of every 10 breads made in this factory

goes to nursing homes

and orphanages for free.

They're shipped in those boxes.

For free? You give those away for free?

Yes.

That's the real reason why I got

into mass production of breads.

Ever since I was young, I've seen numerous

people starve during each barley hump.

I once lost a good friend during a famine.

That was the first time

I heard of malnutrition.

He starved to death.

That was more painful and tragic than

getting shot to death in a battlefield.

That was when I decided

to go into mass production of bread.

Patriotism goes beyond fighting

for your country.

Making sure that no one goes hungry in Korea...

can be patriotism too.

So how about it, you two?

Would you like to study bread?

What? Bread?

I'd like to teach you two. So how about it?

He can make that decision later in life.

I couldn't believe it

as I was on my way here.

What's that supposed to mean?

I couldn't believe that

you would take my Ma Jun

around with this lowlife

in front of your workers.

I couldn't believe you would make a scene

out of my son by bringing this kid along,

giving the people something to gossip about.

Did you come all the way here to tell me this?

Up until now, I've respected

your decisions and your way of life.

But I can't tolerate that kid.

I can't bear to see this wretched sight.

You...

If you want to teach bread making,

you can teach that kid.

I don't want my son to work

with flour on his hands.

Let's go, Ma Jun.

Come on, let's go.

You can go.

Mr. Han.

Yes, Chairman?

Go with them.

Yes, Sir.

Why did you do that to Father?

What?

Why did you embarrass him

in front of everyone?

So that he can't mistreat you.

You're my son. You're Seo In Suk's son.

There's no need for you

to stand next to that lowlife.

There's no need for you

to be compared to him.

Understand?

If you do, get in the car.

That wasn't necessary.

That couldn't have helped Ma Jun a bit.

It doesn't matter. I couldn't stand it.

If you don't like what I'm doing,

you should do what you're supposed to do.

I have to step forward because you won't.

So, you went all the way to Cheongsan

to bring Ma Jun back?

Yes, I did.

Good for you. Good for you.

You embarrassed your husband

in front of his workers.

Why are you so thoughtless?

Why are you so selfish?

I warned you before you took that boy in.

You took him in against my will.

This was bound to happen.

You're a disaster to this family.

Oh, my...

I'm thoughtless? I'm selfish?

She's the selfish one in this house.

I agree with Grandma that you're thoughtless.

What?

That woman lives in Cheongsan, right?

You left Father and Tak Goo alone

in Cheongsan with her.

You always let your emotions run wild,

getting yourself into trouble

by acting irrationally.

When are you going to stop doing that?

If you're so worried about your mother,

why weren't you born as a boy?

That's what bums me out too.

In that case, marry a powerful man.

Marry someone who is powerful

enough to control your father.

Gong Ju! Gong Ju!

Yes, Ma'am?

When does the Chairman get back

from the Cheongsan factory?

He usually comes back around 3 p.m.

I'm sorry.

This happened because

I tagged along today.

I'm really sorry.

I'm hungry.

What?

Why don't we get some noodles?

You know this area well, right?

Do you know a place that makes good noodles?

Well... I know one place.

Okay, then let's go there.

Okay.

Mother! Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Tak Goo!

Mother!

Tak Goo!

I'm back.

How have you been?

What are you doing here?

The Chairman told me that he's craving noodles,

so I brought him here.

This is the place.

This place makes the best

noodles in Cheongsan.

Come this way.

He's not the Chairman, is he?

I'm out of noodles.

Is he really the Chairman?

I'm out of squash too.

I have squash. Do you want it?

Yes. I'll get noodles from the market.

Thank you.

Okay, I'll boil the water.

How old were you?

This was taken last year.

When my mum cleaned

the photographer's studio,

she asked for a picture instead of money.

That's the first picture I took in my life.

Tak Goo! I heard that Tak Goo is here.

Tak Goo! Kim Tak Goo!

- Come out. - Go ahead. Go outside.

Okay.

- Tak Goo! - Tak Goo! What happened?

You left without telling us!

- That's not what friends do. - I know!

- That's not what friends do. - That's right.

I'm sorry. It just happened.

Tak Goo, how's life in Seoul?

How's your new school?

I heard that Seoul girls are

pretty with creamy skin.

Pretty with creamy skin?

Then what are you? Tofu?

Hey, he's soft like tofu too.

By the way, how is she?

Who?

That'll be 80 won.

My father asked to put this on the tab.

Again? No way.

He owes me too much money.

I'm sorry.

Hey! Stop right there!

Why, you...

Look what you're doing right now.

I know that it's an errand,

but you're too young to go around asking

to put everything on tab without paying for it.

I'm sorry, but my father told me to bring liquor.

I can't let you take this. I need to get paid.

Give that to me. Give that back.

Okay, fine. But this is your last time.

Shin Yug Yeong's mum eloped with

another man about 2 weeks ago.

How have you been?

I heard that you're now living

with your father in Seoul.

Huh? Yeah.

What kind of a man is your father?

Is he a good man?

Uh, yeah...

How's your new school?

Did you make many new friends?

Uh, yeah...

I heard that you don't come

to school much nowadays.

You should go.

I can go home by myself from here.

But...

You'll get into trouble if my father sees you.

I might come back next week.

Okay. See you next time.

Tak Goo! What was the next line?

Huh?

You know, the Incheon song.

How does the second line go?

Oh, that?

Even if there's cider at the Incheon beach,

you can't drink it without a cup.

One more time!

Even if there's cider at the Incheon beach,

you can't drink it without a cup.

Hey, stop right there! Stop!

Why, you...

Why, you little...

Why, you... Move! Move!

Hey! Why, you little...

I don't have too many side dishes.

I hope you like the soup.

I can see why Tak Goo bragged

about the noodles.

I hope I didn't intrude today.

Of course not.

I'm just grateful that you visited me.

Had I known that you were coming,

I would've made more side dishes.

Next time...

I'm not asking you to come next time...

But, I'm not asking you not to come either.

Gosh, what is wrong with me?

Where's Tak Goo?

His noodles are starting to swell up.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Excuse me.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

What is it? Aren't you Yug Yeong

the barmaid's daughter from the 3 ways street?

Are you here to see Tak Goo? He's...

Tak Goo is on the run.

What?

Tak Goo is on the run.

You have to go and help him.

If you don't, he might get hurt. Hurry!

Why, you little...

You little rascal! You're Kim Tak Goo, right?

You're the kid who scarred

my forehead and ran away last time.

I've been waiting for a chance

to get back at you.

I'm going to...

You little runt!

I told you to hide well!

You little...

Tak Goo!

Is he in there?

No.

Where did he go? Let's go over there.

Tak Goo!

Tak Goo!

Do you beat Yug Yeong like this too?

Do you beat Yug Yeong like this too?

Why do you care?

Why do you care if I beat my daughter or not?

Just because she's your daughter doesn't give

you the right to beat her up without a reason.

Yug Yeong is a person too.

Yeah, so?

You drink everyday and make a scene.

You always beat your only daughter.

You only pick on those who are

weaker than you are.

No wonder your wife ran away.

What did you say? Watch your mouth, kid!

Why, I ought to...

I'm not scared of people like you.

I'll be embarrassed if I get

scared of a bad person like you.

I'm too proud to be that way.

I'm not scared. I'm not scared at all.

Why, you little...

You fatherless bastard!

Watch what you say. I have a father.

You have a father? Yeah, right.

Everyone knows that your mother lured

a married man and had you.

- Do you know that? - Watch what you say!

I'm not fatherless. I have a father too.

And you're wrong about my mother.

She would never do that.

You don't know anything.

Watch what you say.

Watch what you say!

Do you think you can talk to me like that?

Do you?

Do you think you can talk to me like that?

Who are you?

I'm this boy's father.

So, don't you dare lay a finger on my son.

You're not scaring me.

Tak Goo! Tak Goo!

Oh, no! Look what happened to your face.

Look what he did to your face.

It's okay. The Chairman saved me.

You hurt your hand.

It's okay. It'll heal in a few days.

This must've shocked Tak Goo, though.

He's a brave kid.

He's strong inside.

He must've taken after you.

No, he didn't take after me. That's not true.

Thank you.

You raised Tak Goo to be a fine boy

under these harsh conditions.

And, I'm sorry for not paying attention to you.

You must be hungry.

Do you want me to make noodles again?

Hold on. I'll make them right away.

Hey! Untie me, will you?

What did I do to deserve this?

What did I do wrong?

You don't know?

You exercised violence on a kid.

Violence? But he deserved it!

Don't you believe me?

Do you even know who that kid is?

He's Chairman Gu Il Jung's son,

from Geoseong Foods.

He even baked bread for the.

President in the Blue House.

So, I hit that man's son.

You're putting me behind bars for that?

That's discrimination!

Is that what you're doing?

Why, I ought to...

It doesn't even have to be Chairman Gu's son.

We'll put

you behind bars even if you hit a beggar's son.

Oh, I see how it is.

Just wait until I get out of here.

I'm going to make everyone pay for this.

You're finally home.

You're home late today.

Yes, Mother.

Where's Tak Goo?

He got hurt. I left him at his mother's.

I'll go upstairs.

What?

Did you just say

that you went to that woman's house?

I said, the kid got hurt.

Don't make any excuses.

That means you went to her house.

What did you do there? Did you just talk?

Or did you do much more than that?

Do you have feelings for her again?

I'm tired. Stop it.

Don't avoid me. I need an answer.

Tell me. Are you going to keep a mistress?

Are you going to her house every time

you go to the factory in Cheongsan?

And what if I do?

She bore my child and raised him.

She should be compensated in any way.

Honey!

You're the one who came to

the factory to humiliate me.

You're the one who announced

in front of all my workers that

you can't respect my decisions and way of life.

So, is this how you get back at me?

I don't even want to get back at you.

Who is it?

We shouldn't meet at home like this.

If you have anything to say,

say it in Cheongpyeong...

Are you enjoying this?

Do you enjoy seeing me like this?

What are you waiting for?

What do you want me to do?

Do you want me to give everything up

and become your woman?

Is that why you didn't do anything

but watch as he went to her house?

What if Tak Goo inherits everything

instead of Ma Jun?

Are you going to do

nothing and watch that too?

You promised me that

you'll never hurt me again.

Are you hurt because Gu Il Jung

went to see her?

What more do you want?

He mistreats you and he doesn't look after you.

Why are you so attached to him?

Can't you just be content

with being Gu Il Jung's wife?

What more do you want?

Gu Il Jung's money? Gu Il Jung's heart?

- What else? - Seung Jae.

What do I mean to you?

What do I mean to you?

You're my man.

You're the father of my son.

Isn't that enough for you?

I only have one goal,

to give Geoseong to Ma Jun.

Once that happens, I'm yours.

I'll be your woman forever.

Like I said, I'm not doing this for me.

I'm doing this for our son.

Seung Jae, stop. This is his workshop.

Get your act together.

Not in here. This is his workshop.

Let's go to Cheongpyeong.

You know how I feel.

Yes, I know.

I know what you really want.

I know it very well.

Don't worry.

I'll make sure you get what you want.

I'll get you everything that you desire.

I can do everything you want me to do.

So, don't worry.

Seung Jae.

Seung Jae.

Ms. Hong.

You filthy and vile...

What are you two plotting in my house?

- Ms. Hong. - Shut up!

Have you no fear?

Whose son is Ma Jun?

Who is his father?

Seung Jae, what do you

have against my family?

How could you plot this scheme?

Is this the thanks that I get for taking you in?

Is this how you repay me?

I took you in and sent you

to school when you had nowhere to go,

without a family.

You're also Il Jung's best friend.

How could you betray him like this?

How could you plot this evil scheme?

I won't let you two get away with this.

You won't get away with this.

Mother! Mother!

My... Baby...

Luck was on my side.

You're a very special son to me.

I hope you disappear!

As long as I'm here,

Ma Jun and you are safe.

I'd like you to take care of a woman for me.

Stop!

You'll never see your son again.

Mother! Mother!

Mother!
