Secretary Kim.

(Episode 21)

Can you live with us

as my mother-in-law's sister,

Myeonghui?

What?

No one else can

control my mother-in-law

except you.

I know I'm asking for a lot.

I can't take her to the hospital every time

she causes trouble.

I can't force her to take a sedative.

You saw what happened yesterday.

The whole house became a mess.

I have no idea what to do.

I can't believe myself for asking

such favor from you.

Well.

Ms. Oh.

Secretary Kim, can't you help us?

Since it's a difficult favor, I'll pay you more.

Double? Or triple of what you're getting now?

No, I'll pay you as much as you want.

I'll decorate your bedroom too.

Help me.

Help me, Secretary Kim.

Ms. Oh.

I'm very sorry

for suddenly showing up and asking such a favor.

But

you're the only one

who can help me.

Ms. Oh.

Yes, go on.

It's too sudden.

I need time to think about it.

Really?

Thank you so much.

Please think about it.

Please give it some thought

Have you decided to move back in?

Then what?

I couldn't help but feel the affection.

I felt pity for my mother-in-law too.

I guess I grew attached with her through hatred.

I'm glad to hear your decision.

If you give in and move back in,

your husband will be so grateful for you.

I'm not moving back in because of him.

Don't even bring him up in front of me.

You must have been really disappointed in him.

I've never heard you talk badly

about your husband like this before.

What if Secretary Kim refuses?

I don't think I can pull this off without her.

Don't worry too much.

I'm sure she'll accept it.

- You think so? / - Of course.

I'd do it if I were her for that money.

- Right? / - Right.

Besides, you're the chairman's wife.

She'll do it for certain.

She seemed to be a nice woman too.

Don't worry.

Secretary Kim.

Can you live with us

as my mother-in-law's sister,

Myeonghui?

No one else can control my mother-in-law

except you.

Even if that's the case,

how can I move into the chairman's house

and live as Madam Park's sister?

It doesn't make sense.

Doran's dad?

My goodness. You are Doran's dad.

It's you.

Excuse me.

Goodness.

Don't you recognize me?

You used to be my tenant.

When your wife died,

I looked after Doran for a while.

Do you really not recognize me?

Ma'am.

How have you been?

Yes, I am right.

You're Doran's dad.

Ma'am.

By the way, what happened?

How are you out here?

Well.

Goodness, that's good.

You were sentenced to life.

I thought you'd never be released.

Have you met Doran?

Your friend from the orphanage

took her at that time.

I don't know.

You've lost contact with that friend too?

Yes.

I don't know anything.

Oh, dear.

Still, she's your child.

Why don't you try looking for her?

You must miss her so much.

It's okay.

I have nothing to do with her.

Ma'am, I wish that

Doran doesn't know whom her dad is

until the day she dies.

I'm sorry,

but I wish you forgot everything about

Doran and I.

Please.

I should've just walked past you.

I was only glad to see you without knowing that.

That was thoughtless of me.

I would've done the same

if I had been in your shoes.

Thank you.

Okay.

You've suffered so much all this while.

You should lead a good life now.

Your friend who took Doran

was such a nice man.

He must've raised her well.

So, don't worry about Doran

and focus on your life.

I'm saying this because you're like my son.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'll go then.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Dongcheol.

I met

that lady today.

I couldn't talk about you though.

I was worried that

I'd get caught for staying close to Doran.

So, I said I knew nothing.

That way, I'd be able to watch over

Doran and your family.

At least from afar.

(Kim Dongcheol)

Dongcheol.

Please stop

anything bad from happening

so that I can at least be a bit of a help.

Come in.

Did you want to see me, sir?

Yes, I did.

Take this.

What is this?

I put in just a small amount of money

in case you'd be uncomfortable.

Think of it as money for transportation.

No, sir. I can't take this.

It's because I'm so thankful and sorry

regarding my mother.

Don't reject it

and take it so that I feel at ease.

Go on.

Thank you, sir.

Okay, thank you.

You may go back to your work now.

Okay.

(My cool husband)

Yes, it's me.

Do you want to meet outside?

There was no need to come all the way here.

I wanted to enjoy the nice weather with you.

Don't you like it?

Let's get straight to the point.

I'm not in the mood to chit-chat with you.

Don't be like this.

Stop it. I'm still upset.

Honey, thank you

for coming back home.

I can't believe this.

You just want to let it slip like this.

I never came back home because of you.

I'm sorry, honey.

I know I was wrong.

I also know that I'm not the best husband.

But

it doesn't mean that I don't love you.

You're well aware of it too.

No.

I don't know.

I thought you did, but now, I'm confused.

Have you ever taken my side at least once?

There are a lot of things that I didn't tell you.

When I was in middle school,

my father passed away from a heart attack.

My mother lived such a lonely life,

raising me and protecting the company alone.

How would it have felt to

protect a big company alone as a woman

and to live alone in all those circumstances?

Whenever I saw her cry in secret,

my heart was torn apart into pieces.

You must not understand how it felt.

So,

how could I send her to a sanatorium?

She was lonely for her whole life.

How can I

leave her on her own because she's sick?

That's just...

Okay.

I get it, so stop. That's enough!

I'm so sorry that this is

all I can do for you.

My mother is someone I must protect.

But you are all I have.

You are my only one.

I really mean that.

I don't care.

How could you?

I'm sorry, honey.

Secretary Kim, can't you help us?

Help me.

Help me, Secretary Kim.

How cornered must she be to ask me for help?

What should I do?

Oh, right.

(1,000 dollars)

1,000 dollars for transportation?

I'll take it.

He meant well.

I'll take this

and what I've saved so far

to give back the deposit I borrowed from Yujin.

I should call her.

(Transactions)

What's all this?

(Rumi Shoes, Gini Brand, Supermarket)

I didn't buy these. What's going on?

My debit card.

Where's my card wallet?

Then...

I haven't had sweet and sour pork in a while.

It got in my teeth.

Let's see.

Pick one. Don't you want an ice cream?

What now?

Doran will throw a fit.

What could she do?

We aren't strangers.

Her mom and sister used her card.

Will she kill us or what? Don't worry.

You like this too. Take one.

Let's get one each.

Chinese food is great but it can be greasy.

Let's have an ice cream

to settle our stomachs.

The card was suspended.

- Suspended? / - Suspended?

Oh dear.

When did you get back?

You got home first.

Did you have dinner?

We both had jajangmyeon while we were out.

A jajangmyeon that costs 60 dollars?

No, well.

We couldn't have just that,

so we had sweet and sour pork and dumplings too.

Thanks to you, we had a feast.

Here's your debit card.

Thanks a lot.

How could you use my card without asking?

I was

saving up to pay for the deposit on the lease.

Were you?

You should've told us.

We had no idea.

Miran has an upcoming exam

and an interview to become a new anchor.

She needed clothes and shoes.

We were out of rice too.

We needed so many things.

We didn't just shop for ourselves.

We bought you some panties.

How could you use 1000 dollars

from someone else's card?

This is

theft.

What? Theft?

How dare you?

Did you just call your mom a thief?

Doran.

You're being too harsh.

Yes, it was wrong of us to use your debit card.

Even so,

how could you call us thieves?

Are you going to report us to the police?

- What? / - Even though you hate us,

Mom raised you

and we were sisters for our whole lives.

Is money more important?

I'll pay you back when I start earning.

I can't stand this. I'll pay you back, okay?

Hey, Miran.

Where are you going?

Miran.

Miran, you...

Where are you going?

Hey.

You can't do this to us.

I did give you a hard time.

But I didn't starve you.

You're the eldest.

Other daughters give their moms

debit cards for them to use.

It's not like we spent a stranger's money.

I used my daughter's card.

How can you treat us like this?

You don't even give me an allowance.

How dare you call me a thief?

My darling honey.

Honey.

Dongcheol.

She's so hardhearted.

She's so callous.

I went through so much to raise her.

I'm sorry, Yujin.

I was going to pay you all I owe

but I only have 1,000 dollars.

I'll give you the rest when I get paid next month.

I said you can take your time.

Thanks a lot.

Come and have dinner.

- Okay. / - Okay.

- Let's eat. / - Okay.

- Eat all you want. / - I will.

Ma'am, I wish that

Doran doesn't know whom her dad is

until the day she dies.

- Grandma. / - What?

Why stare at her when I'm your granddaughter?

She feels uncomfortable that she can't even eat.

Did I stare?

You stared at her so hard you forgot to eat.

What's wrong?

I didn't stare at just her.

I looked at you too.

You should eat, not stare at us.

Why not?

I stare because you're both so pretty.

You always say that. You said that last time.

Doran, wouldn't life be amazing if everyone

saw us the way she does?

Right?

That's so odd.

Why do they look alike?

Thanks.

I booked a table at the bar.

Let's go.

Okay.

How was the musical?

It was fun, I hadn't seen one in a while.

I enjoyed myself, thanks to you.

If it's been a while since you watched a musical,

you must've not been on a date.

Of course.

If I meet friends,

we usually play a sport

or get drunk.

Let's have another bottle.

Sure.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Hello. I'm fine and well at home, okay?

Good.

Daeryuk.

- I'll pick the wine. / - Sure.

Are you two having wine?

Where are you?

- Why? / - I'll send Mr. Kang.

You can't drive if you're drinking.

It's fine, I'll call a driver.

You need to drive Suhyeon home.

You can't call a chauffeur service.

I'll send Mr. Kang.

Just text me where you are.

Okay?

Gosh, I guess it is going well.

This is so exciting.

My goodness.

We watched a musical and had wine together.

I think we can become

good wine companions.

I don't know much about wine though.

There's nothing difficult about wine.

If you keep drinking it,

you will find your favorite wine

at some point.

It's just like meeting people.

I see.

My parents are really curious about you.

They want to meet you.

Me?

I guess they asked around about you.

It seems like they heard good things about you.

My dad really wants to see you.

It's not that he checked up on you.

There's no need to be offended.

It's okay.

I'm flattered that he thinks well of me.

My dad says he admires your grandmother.

I heard she used to be courageous.

Right. I also admire my grandmother.

We're already here.

What a shame.

We are?

It was just a goodnight kiss.

I had fun tonight.

Get home safely.

Mr. Kang, you must've been flustered.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

I guess Suhyeon drank too much wine

and was a little drunk.

I see. Ms. Oh told me she's an important person,

so I should escort her with great care.

I'm worried if I made any mistake.

Please don't say that.

You seem a little drunk.

Please get some rest.

I'll tell you once we arrive.

Okay. Thank you.

Oh my gosh, Hongsil.

Why are you vacuuming in the middle of the night?

Tomorrow, I'll have a maid come every day.

It's okay.

I just need to clean once a week

and when I have a lot of kitchen work.

I can do this myself.

Gosh, Hongsil.

You have a rich sister.

Why would you do things like this?

This is what you're supposed to do.

- ♪ Try to remember ♪ / - My gosh.

♪ The kind of September ♪

- ♪ When life was slow ♪ / - Gosh.

- And... / - Hey.

I feel dizzy. Let's sit.

All right.

How much money did you inherit from your husband?

You keep saying that you're rich.

Hongsil, don't even ask.

Curiosity kills the cat.

Okay.

I don't know how much you have

but it's not mine anyway. I don't need to know.

I guess that old guy did care for you.

He left all his property to you.

Hongsil!

I'm sorry. I take back I called him an old guy.

Your husband, Freddie.

Don't you dare call Freddie like that again.

Okay, I won't call him that.

Hongsil. Was it Ms. Park?

I don't like her.

Tell Gorae to watch out for her.

What about her?

She was openly flirting with Gorae.

She put something in her breasts as well.

They were huge.

Don't worry. Gorae isn't interested.

Did you know about that?

Ms. Park is a good nurse though.

You should pretend not to know about it.

Gorae wouldn't fall for anyone.

I think most guys would fall for her.

It's strange that Gorae wouldn't even budge.

By the way, where's Gorae?

- At an internet cafe. / - Internet cafe?

He says he can play games well at an internet cafe.

It's his only hobby.

He rides a bicycle along the Han River

and plays games.

Oh my gosh.

He's a young man. Why is his hobby so simple?

Hongsil, what if

he is dating a weird girl

and you don't know about it?

Gorae wouldn't do such a thing.

I think you trust your son too much.

Trust makes way for treachery.

You already learned that from me.

Only one in ten thousand would stab me

in the back like you did.

You're right.

This is theft.

Theft?

Did she call me a thief?

I need some money to find a job.

Does she want me to die or something?

All right.

She's being so cheap. I'll make money myself.

What?

Even the can is bothering me.

What is he doing?

He can't even ride a bike right.

Is he doing some bike show or something?

Excuse me.

Excuse me, can lady.

Can lady?

What?

Does that mean I'm empty-headed?

Apologize.

What? You just called me can lady.

You should apologize.

You just kicked this beer can

and it hit my head.

I nearly fell and got hurt.

My gosh.

The can I just kicked hit your head?

You were riding a bike.

That's ridiculous.

You should throw it in the garbage.

You can't throw it away thoughtlessly like this.

You know what?

I can't even put this can in the garbage.

There's no way I can hit your head with it.

Excuse me.

I'm so stressed out right now.

I guess you're hitting on me

but forget about it.

Aren't you going to throw this away?

What? It's that guy again.

The guy who gave us money under the bridge.

He also returned my purse.

We meet here again?

Throw this into the garbage can.

Okay.

I'll throw it away.

Are you happy now?

Yes.

Make sure to put garbage in the garbage can.

The Earth is sick.

We should preserve the environment.

Okay?

What is he saying?

I guess he has poor eyesight.

He doesn't recognize me.

Kim Miran.

Where have you been?

Do you actually want to know where I've been?

Are you worried I'd run away with your money?

Kim Doran.

Don't worry. I will pay the money back.

You just need to wait a month.

I'll pay the money back

and get out of your house with Mom.

- Hey. / - What?

Are you still trying to become a news anchor?

I heard Mom say something about it just now.

Why do you ask? You won't pay for the lessons.

If you want to throw yourself into it,

I'll pay for the fees no matter what.

You can't just fix yourself up

and not prepare for it as you did before.

I'll pay the fees

but you should earn your own allowance.

And don't use my card ever again.

Doran.

Where have you been?

I was worried about you.

What were you and Doran talking about just now?

I heard something about news anchor.

What?

What?

She asked me if I'll do my best

for the news anchor exam.

If so, she'll pay for my lessons.

- What? / - Be quiet.

Is that true?

Yes, but she told me to work for my own allowance.

How cheap.

If she's going to help,

why doesn't she just pay for everything?

How are you going to get ready for the test

when you're working at the same time?

Mom. It looks like she'll let go

of us using her card.

Really?

- Mr. Kang. / - Yes.

- Good job. / - Oh, yes.

Thank you.

Hello.

- Good morning. / - Good morning.

Where have you been going lately in the morning?

I've been working out.

Do you have a job for me?

No, I was just curious.

I just see you go out early these days.

Which gym do you go to?

I need to work out as well.

I don't go to the gym.

I just walk.

I'll get back to work.

No wonder he's sharp and fit.

He works out so much.

Oh, my.

I didn't even wash my face.

What if I have something in my eyes?

How embarrassing.
