I'm not sure if your father can afford buildings.

Your father should own a building...

for you to become a building owner.

In your world, yes.

You're nothing without your father.

Having a father like mine is being competent too.

Speak of the devil.

Father.

What brings you here?

That impudent jerk.

Why was he here?

Let's go inside.

You're here.

It's a hot day.

Did you take a look around?

Yes, but I have to go meet James.

Go ahead. I'll take round two.

The building owner?

Did they buy this building to harass us?

We have our contract,

so they can't do anything while it's still intact.

They can harass us without a reason.

He thinks he's above the law.

What did he blabber about?

It was nothing.

Is he determined to shut us down again?

That can't happen.

This is our cafe. We'll stand up for this.

One warning was enough.

If he tries to mess with your life again,

I will destroy that kid's life.

How's business?

The son and the dad are barging in from the morning.

What brings you here?

Eun Byul, you should go.

Do I need a reason...

to be in my building?

Your building owner is here. You should bring me something.

Is this how you do business?

You'll shut down pretty soon with this kind of attitude.

I don't think we're in a relationship to discuss attitudes.

Unbelievable.

Sir.

You can choose what you want from our menu.

- You can have whatever you want. - Is this your employee?

I'm not just an employee.

I have my share.

Omija tea. Iced.

Okay, omija tea. That's my recommendation, actually.

Our omija fruit is brought all the way...

from Mount Halla in Jeju Island...

- He left. - What are you doing?

What can we do? He owns this building.

We should give him what he wants.

Leave his omija tea to me.

I'll get rid of this place...

and open up a family restaurant.

That would be perfect.

We can't go with Suseongjae. There's a lawsuit going on.

And it's been in my family for generations.

I don't care about the lawsuit.

I just want it as collateral.

How about another property?

- On Geoje Island... - No shares,

not Suseongjae.

You have another property in Jongno-gu.

Choi Han Joo owns a cafe in that building.

- Do you know that? - Yes.

Do you want it because my sister-in-law...

I don't like to mix business with personal interests.

That or a stake in the company.

I want joint ownership of that property.

Under the condition that I retain the right to...

manage the property.

Sure.

What do you want?

Do you have any suggestions for your landlord?

None?

Well, I have a few things to say to you, my tenant.

Why is the interior so suffocating?

Can't you open up the space?

- What a joke. - Wait, wait.

Why are you so impatient?

How much is the monthly rent?

Why do you ask?

Can't I even ask how much you pay me, you arrogant fool?

How dare you interrupt your elders?

Don't call him a fool.

He's my son.

Watch your tongue.

If he were my son,

I'd have taught him manners long ago.

Looking at the way you treat your landlord,

you two have no sense or reason.

What's wrong with you?

Even if you are our landlord,

you can't touch us until our lease expires.

I see you studied the law.

My goodness. What a mess.

Dad. You should go home.

You must be upset you lost the candidacy.

I'm so honored you decided to...

come all the way here.

Who said I lost the candidacy?

I chose to step down.

Know your facts.

You lost it or stepped down. The result's the same.

Can't I use the law to teach tenants like you a lesson?

You're all trouble. Where's the law?

Dae Poong, get a large bowl of salt.

Is that fortune-teller really good?

You bet.

Let's all go when your dad gets back.

- Hello, Ms. Na. - Hello, there.

Seo Jun Young.

Geum Byul?

Look at you.

Once a beauty, always a beauty.

Min Ho told me about you.

He's dressed top to toe in luxury brands.

I was surprised to hear you were the investor.

Try to get along with my husband.

We should both try.

Is he good to you?

You haven't changed at all.

I must have.

Right. Why did you get married so early?

If either of you were single after 30,

I was going to propose.

Who said I'd marry you?

I guess. You always had really high standards regarding men.

What a jerk.

You knew you were my first love,

and you still liked Eun Byul.

I heard you and your sister married sworn enemies.

How did that happen?

Do you still like Eun Byul?

Poor you.

I might steal her.

- Are you serious? - Will you help me?

You need a serious wake-up call.

The Parks own the building?

Yes. They bought it a short while ago.

How could they...

Is that why she asked about the rent?

Did someone mention the rent?

When your sister...

When Ms. Yoon was here with her daughter-in-law...

I wondered what gave her the right to ask about the rent.

It was because they owned the building.

I think we should ask Dong Joo.

Don't tell Han Joo's grandmother.

I won't.

Have some watermelon.

Hello, Soon Young.

I can't believe how hot it is today.

- Have some, Grandma. - Thanks.

- It's so sweet. - Is it?

Mother, you too.

- It's sweet. - Thanks.

Was it injected with sugar?

I'd love a shot of that if it existed.

I could do with some sweetness.

Me too.

What are you making, Grandma?

A newborn baby's shirt.

Isn't that tough?

I have time to kill.

It's like picking out lice.

She made clothes for...

Han Joo and Dong Joo when they were born.

That's amazing.

I hope you get pregnant soon.

You need to before your sister does.

Don't mention that household.

We have to beat them at everything we can.

Good luck.

Thanks. We're trying.

My goodness.

High-five.

How interesting.

He looks more like a professor.

Shall we begin then?

You didn't bring the younger twin.

My goodness.

How did you know she's a twin?

It showed up in Geum Byul's fortune.

What bothers you the most?

So many things.

Can you tell us when she'll have a baby?

The baby...

should be of no concern.

You'll hear the good news in a few months.

What?

- Really? - Will we?

I have to get pregnant before my sister does.

Don't you worry. You will.

Hold on.

I just made an investment of 100 million won.

If you win this case,

- you can offer one billion won... - What's that?

That's such a sleazy voice.

That fraud?

A blind date?

- What about the other guy? - It wasn't meant to be.

You said it was destiny.

What is he?

A patent attorney.

Download the application if you're jealous.

I'm not jealous.

Why should I be jealous that you're meeting a man who...

sexes chicks for a living?

Do you know what a patent attorney does?

Don't they separate male chicks from female ones?

I can't believe how ignorant you are.

Not even the deities can save you from that.

Ask your best friend, the internet.

- Look up "patent attorney". - Shall I?

Let me check.

(Patent attorney)

An expert on patents.

That's it.

Forget patent attorney or even a lawyer.

I'm happy.

Soon Young, that jerk is here.

My goodness.

He must be at the cafe.

He's there.

Is he really? I'm coming too.

Is he really here?

- Where is he? - Where?

- That was quick. - Where is he?

Right over there.

Where's the sleazy guy who was right there?

- He left. - He left? Where to?

Why would I care?

Soon Young.

I ran all the way here.

Please...

Poor you.

- Soon Young. - What's that?

I think the sleazebag blew his nose in this.

Is this the napkin containing his snot?

Is this a token of his love?

He's so mean.

His dirty napkin is...

the least of your worries.

What could be more important?

The owner of this building, our landlord, is...

- Park Min Ho. - What?

Eun Byul told me.

Father and son came by one after the other.

Do you think they'll use their authority...

to raise the rent exponentially...

to make them close the cafe?

I bet that's why they bought the property.

Don't tell my mother-in-law.

Should I sue her...

for making me look like a thief?

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

Building for a building.

Suseongjae would be perfect.

Wouldn't it be just great if Suseongjae's witness...

were to show up and testify just about now?

Where did the person go?

I'll make you look just lovely.

Are you the owner?

No, I'm an employee.

Not a part-timer, though. I'm a permanent employee.

- So who's the owner? - Ms. Choi?

Goodness, you have such a great voice.

What about Ms. Choi?

She's the younger sister of the owner of Cafe Mill, right?

Yes, how do you know that?

I heard he has a beautiful sister.

That's odd.

Aren't you talking about me?

Not Ms. Choi, but me. Oh Mi Ja.

Ours is all done.

Min Ho, give me a little more time.

I'll turn you into a dad very soon.

I'll put these in Father and Mother's pillows...

before they come home.

- What's that? - Carp extract.

I think Geum Byul needs this.

I got her oriental medicine, and she even got tested,

but there's no good news.

She'll be adored by her in-laws...

if she gets pregnant now.

You should've gotten some for Eun Byul too.

You left her out again.

I'll get one for her if this works on Geum Byul.

Min Ho put out his property instead of their share.

(Real Estate Register)

I think he decided to use this as his security.

Is this his building?

What's wrong?

This is the same building as my brother's cafe.

What?

Did he buy that building on purpose?

It hasn't been long since he bought it.

What's the reason James Seo gave up on shares...

and settled with real estate?

That's the suspicious part.

I'm sure it's not all about money.

Has Park Sang Goo's daughter called you yet?

I thought she would call you any day now.

- Why would she call me? - I'm not sure.

Bye, then.

Yes, Lawyer Kang.

These dirty fights never end quickly.

I'll show you.

I'll make sure I show you that I'm a real journalist,

not a trashy one.

And I'll make you...

acknowledge that fact.

Excuse me.

Ma'am.

Since you grow flowers, I doubt you and your husband would fight.

My husband used to be a man of explosive temper.

But after 10 years of growing flowers,

he lost all of his temper.

- Really? - Do you have a boyfriend?

I don't even wish for anything like that.

How much do flowers cost now?

Because of the new law,

the flower industry hit rock bottom.

I know. It must be really hard.

Instead, I'll work very hard.

It's all right.

You should start dating though.

Gosh, Choi Dong Joo. He must've read the article.

He could've texted me.

She was very odd as a kid.

Her nickname in elementary school was...

Finger Pointer.

If she thought something was not fair,

she made sure she pointed it out.

One time,

a student was getting chastised by a teacher in the hallway.

She went up to the teacher and said,

"Why are you being loud in the hallway?"

"Don't you know how to keep any public etiquettes?"

Whenever she comes across an unkind server at a restaurant,

she would tell them they would lose customers because of them.

She was born a journalist.

She may have said what is right,

but that wouldn't help her fit into the Korean society.

She became an outcast once.

But she claims she's the one who chose to be an outsider.

We talked about homeschooling her, sending her to a private school,

then sending her abroad.

We ended up sending her abroad.

- You must love your sister a lot. - I do.

She's a younger sibling, but sometimes she's like a friend...

or an older sister.

She's very thoughtful.

You probably wouldn't know because you're an only child.

No.

Do you know where your sister is?

She's probably traveling all around the country.

- Would you date someone like her? - Pardon?

You look flustered.

Cheers.

If we ask them to renew the contract...

6 months to 1 year before the contract is terminated,

there is no right for the building owner...

to turn it down without a proper reason.

I'm not even dreaming of getting a renewal.

We'll make sure he doesn't do anything while we're in business.

What about our premium?

There's a new Commercial Building Lease Protection Act,

so we'll get our premium back.

Nothing will go wrong if everything goes according to the law.

The problem is that he goes beyond the law.

If they try to do anything like they did with the gym,

I won't just sit around.

The name on that building will be changed to a joint contract.

In that case, Park won't be able to harass us as much as he wants.

A joint contract? With whom?

- This is Choi Dong Joo. - Hey, this is Park Ji Ho.

Hello?

Did he hang up?

- Speak. - Oh, I thought you hung up.

- Did you see the article? - Yes.

If you did, you should've called.

You're very inconsiderate.

Hello? Hello?

What's with my phone? Don't I have enough signal?

Speak.

I resigned...

No, I was fired because of that article.

And I got kicked out from home.

Well, I'm not asking you to take responsibility.

Why would I?

You're so sensitive.

Do you know why I wrote that article?

- I don't. - You're very slow.

- It's because of you. - Because of me?

I told you I'd prove to you that I'm not a trashy reporter.

Do you believe me now?

You did this because you wanted to. Don't blame me.

Fine, forget about it. You're so great, happy?

- Where are you? - Why do you care?

- Are you in Seoul? - No.

I was wondering if you were in a turmoil because of me.

Don't skip your meals. Bye.

Choi Dong Joo.

Something is too suspicious about this guy.

Why would he ask if I'm in Seoul?

What does he want?

Don't skip your meals.

Don't pretend like you care.

Is she at a flower farm?

She was at a hot pepper farm last time.

Maybe she'll start farming too.

Is this funny to you?

Whom does she take after?

No one in our family goes out looking for trouble like her.

Father's here.

What is it?

What were you looking at? Give me that.

It's nothing.

If I catch you talking to Ji Ho, I'll get you.

You have to be honest...

before I catch you and break your phone in half.

You can look.

- Who is this? - Ji Ho.

Is this old lady really Ji Ho?

That's really her.

Can you tell her to come home now?

She's a real mess.

What if she can't get married...

and ends up saying she wants to be a farmer?

She's not my kid. I don't care.

Life is so dull.

This is the time when you should get pregnant.

You do nothing at home,

take all these medicines, but you're still barren.

We need to have a grandchild before the Chois do.

They already have a huge family. This is all we have.

I don't sit around at home doing nothing.

I got stressed out doing chores around the house.

That's the worst factor that keeps you from getting pregnant.

Are you blaming me?

I'll let you hear great news very soon, Father and Mother.

Goodness, you never forget to be so confident.

I'm home.

Great job today, Min Ho.

Did you figure things out with James Seo?

Yes, we decided to add his name on the register of our new building.

It's not a bad term on our side.

Set up a meeting for us.

- I need to see what he's like. - Okay.

Oh, he's Geum Byul's friend.

Is James really your friend?

Yes, we were childhood friends.

I saw him this afternoon at my mom's shop.

- Are you close with him? - Of course.

You have a lot to do from now on.

- Keep it up, Geum Byul. - Sure.

Honey.

I'll make you into a dad in a few months.

Are you pregnant?

No, but I think I will be soon.

You think? How can you tell?

Trust me.

- What do you know? - It's a secret.

You were right about Seo Jun Young.

He asked for my help to steal Eun Byul.

I think he's crazy.

We want her to leave Han Joo.

Jun Young's a much better catch.

Not only because of what he has,

but the fact that he still cherishes his first love.

Isn't that romantic?

As if Han Joo and Eun Byul would get divorced.

It's not like it's easy either.

That's why they need our help.

I'm sick of being in-laws...

with a third-generation enemy.

It depends on Jun Young, I guess.

What's your secret?

I went to a fortune-teller today.

- A fortune-teller? - Yes.

It's carp extract.

- Drink a pouch regularly. - Okay.

Are you sure that fortune-teller's good?

Why am I still not pregnant?

I put up all the talismans.

I called to ask about that.

You have to burn them and eat the ash.

Burn the talismans and eat the ash?

Are you crazy?

That would be asking too much, wouldn't it?

What if he's a fraud?

Give it more time.

Is Ji Ho still away?

I told her to call every day, and it's been a week now.

My head aches. Geum Byul.

Is she out?

She must have aspirin somewhere.

Multivitamins? What are these?

These are birth control pills.

- Goodness. - What are those?

They're birth control pills.

I'm taking them.

This is so embarrassing.

Give them back.

Where's Geum Byul?

She went outside to see her mom.

Can I see your birth control pills?

What?

What for?

I just want to check something.

- I don't have them. - Why not?

They weren't yours.

They were mine.

Come on.

Do you want to get fired?

You found them.

Whose were they?

Are you plotting with my daughter-in-law...

to mess with me?

They're actually...

your daughter-in-law's.

Is something wrong?

Are you taking birth control pills?

What? I'm not, Mother.

You liar.

Mother.

What do you say now?
