[Episode 22]

Ms. Ma.

What brings you all the way here?

Mr. So...

It's really you.

What?

Why, of course it's really me.

But what are you doing in my neighborhood?

You don't even live around here.

Right.

I live just across the street.

I'm sure that's not the case,

but did you happen to come by to see me?

What?

Do I look crazy?

I see you at the office all the time.

Why would I come all the way here to see you?

Then may I ask what brought you all the way to my neighborhood?

Well, that's because...

Do I have any reason to report my private life to you?

Well, frankly I'm not that curious myself.

Let's just go on our own ways then.

Fine.

Good.

Hey...

What?

Tell me the truth.

Are you sure you're not here to talk to me?

Talk about what?

You're a complete workaholic,

but you left the office early today,

and you were waiting for me in my neighborhood.

Surely, you must've had something to say to me, right?

Listen.

You must be misunderstanding something.

I just came here because I had some business.

Oh, gosh. All right. All right.

Well, let's just say that I have a personal question to ask you.

Okay?

This isn't the right place to talk.

Let's go somewhere and talk.

What are you going to ask me?

You can talk to me here.

I'm doing this for your own sake.

I'll take you somewhere quieter.

Let's go. Come on.

Hurry up and ask me your question.

What's taking you so long?

Well, you have to be completely honest with me.

Just what exactly are you going to ask me?

You wear a hat and earphones in the office...

and you say it's all because of me.

Why is that because of me?

And why do you care so much about me?

I really want to know the reason.

Why are you hesitating?

Just be comfortable around me.

I'm really all right.

I honestly understand you.

Let's be more comfortable with each other from today.

Can I really be honest with you?

Would you be all right with that?

Of course. I'll be totally fine.

Go on.

Actually...

I keep on seeing you naked.

You see me naked?

Yes.

My brain must've been shocked...

because I saw your ugly naked body that day.

I'm fine now.

I can see that you're fully dressed now.

I should've talked to you from the beginning!

Thanks, Mr. So.

Are you joking with me right now?

What?

I was being honest with you like you asked.

Then why do you see my naked body?

What reason can there be?

It must be because I saw your naked body that morning.

Like I said, this is all your fault.

Listen.

Do you think that's all there is to it?

Maybe, unconsciously you're seeing me as a man you're attracted to...?

What?

Attracted to you?

Cut the bull crap!

Come to the office early tomorrow and hand in your report.

What kind of woman is that?

Why are you home so late?

Did you eat dinner?

Yes.

I met with Dad and had dinner with him.

What?

You met your dad?

Yes.

Dad is staying at a place across the street.

He was doing well in a nice, clean place.

Then why was he yelling at me for not worrying about his wellbeing?

He's such a whiner.

No.

I think Dad is really having it tough financially.

His wallet was completely empty.

I heard that he met you this morning.

Don't even get me started.

He's absolutely no help to me at all.

I had to call your grandmother in the end...

and barely got my shirt back.

Dad just didn't know your situation.

Dad wants you to live a little more relaxed from now on.

That sure sounds like him. That's how he's lived his entire life.

He's never lived his life busily like other people.

So in his eyes, I must look like somebody...

living my life without any relaxation.

But Mom...

What's the real reason you divorced Dad?

Did he mention something?

He just said I didn't need to know.

What's the real reason?

Well, he said it right.

You don't need to know.

And even if you knew,

there wouldn't be anything you could do.

What is it?

I just don't see what Dad did so wrong to you.

Your dad did something to me...

that I can never forgive.

That's all you need to know.

You were with your dad all this time?

No.

Then you met with somebody else after him?

Huh?

No.

No way.

Then why are you home so late?

Huh?

Why did you come home so late?

Oh.

I was just...

Tell me the truth.

In-sung, are you still seeing a naked guy's body?

Are you better now?

Just what happened to you?

I was just joking about that.

Oh, gosh. Mom...

Jung-ie is late again today.

Her training ended at 8...

Why is she so late these days?

Is that you, Jung-ie...?

You were out in the yard.

Were you waiting for me?

Why would I wait for you?

Oh, right...

My daughter came by to my publisher...

so we had dinner together.

Who says I wanted to know?

Remember how I ran out to see my wife earlier today?

It turns out that she needed me to do something for her.

I knew it.

I wondered why you were rushing off so quickly to see her.

Well, I'm sure you'll take care of your own family matters.

I wonder why Jung-ie isn't home yet.

I should do my laundry tomorrow.

I have nothing to change into.

Suit yourself.

Why is he so pissed off at me?

He has a heart the size of a thumbnail.

How come she's seeing my naked body?

Well, I'm sure my gorgeous body came as a shock to her.

But how can she be so honest...

and tell me that she sees my naked body?

What kind of woman is that?

Do you think that's all there is to it?

Maybe, unconsciously you're seeing me as a man you're attracted to...?

What? Attracted to him?

He's such a wimp! How can I be attracted to him?

He doesn't even do his work properly.

Ah...

"This is on Hong Ae-ja."

For the first time ever on SH Home Shopping,

we're launching Designer Huh Eun-sook's designs...

for Hong Ae-ja's show.

Look at this gorgeous long jacket.

It's the only one in the entire world.

This beautiful fit,

and this feminine look that nobody can imitate.

This is the newest design from Designer Huh.

Who would buy such clothes?

What should I do about this shirt?

Mother should've really taken better care of this.

What's this?

All the buttons are off.

And she cut off the sleeve...

Thank goodness she just told me to display it...

instead of returning this shirt.

But if she finds out that it's ruined like this,

she'll go ballistic.

Should I add more buttons to it?

Let's go inside.

Okay.

You're home late today.

Yeah, we had to have dinner with foreign clients tonight.

Are they the ones you'll be sending off to the home shopping?

Why are you here again?

Gosh, don't ask. I'm going to sleep here.

Honey.

Maybe our daughter-in-law is really stupid.

What do you mean?

She only does what I tell her to do.

For instance, when I tell her to cook dinner for Woo-jae,

that's all she does.

She doesn't think to prepare other food for him.

It's because she's not used to cooking.

You can only cook high-end cuisine, too.

Well, that's the best kind of food.

I feed you a Mediterranean menu everyday for your diet.

Ma'am, can you make me some kimchi pancakes?

That's all I could think about all day.

We have so much great food at home.

Why would you want kimchi pancakes?

Honey, we have fresh new caviar that I bought today.

I can make you some caviar canapes.

I'm so sick of caviar.

I want kimchi pancakes.

Ma'am!

He's such a diamond in the rough.

I tried for decades to change him,

but he's just a diamond in the rough to his bones.

Kimchi... kimchi, kimchi kimchi!

Kimchi. I want some, too.

Dad, I want some, too!

I don't know what's wrong with him.

He was born as a diamond, unlike his dad.

Oh, how frustrating.

How frustrating...

Since we have new products to be released,

I want to think of sales strategies.

Who would like to try this jacket on?

Mr. So, try it on.

No.

Why not? You were so quick to take off your shirt last time.

Come on.

Yeah.

You have a good body, so try it on.

We need to emphasize our brand image...

and focus on consumers who enjoy family activities together.

Instead of bright colors,

we chose more natural colors to make it unique.

What's the matter?

Are you ticklish? Or do you have rashes?

No.

You're going to SH Home Shopping, right?

Let me come with you.

You said we're just observers for the project...

Why are you coming?

Tomorrow is the airing date.

I need to make sure everything is all right.

Are you not feeling well?

No.

I'm just perfectly fine.

You seem just fine now, Ms. Ma.

You don't wear your hat and earphones anymore.

Yes.

I feel just great.

I think a heart-to-heart talk was what I needed.

Mr. So...

Thanks for suggesting that we have that talk last night.

Huh?

It's been over a month since we first met.

Lots of things have happened,

and we've never really been close with each other.

I guess you could say that.

My work sometimes stops me...

from explaining everything I do in detail to my team members.

I just don't have the time.

And I have to leave once my project is done.

Well, I have feelings, too.

So I feel very sad when I say goodbye.

It's better if I just work without any emotions involved.

Things will get even busier from now on.

So let's work hard together.

All right.

Don't blabber nonsense...

such as me being attracted to you as a man.

Understand?

What? Blabber nonsense?

I heard that Dr. Ma Hee-sung is getting engaged.

Who are you?

Oh, me?

I'm here with a patient.

I heard that the heartbreaker Dr. Ma is finally getting engaged.

That sushi lunchbox...

I heard that he passed that around to celebrate.

Some idiot passed around sushi,

and still got dumped by Dr. Ma.

Dr. Ma.

Who are you again?

Dr. Ma.

Did you forget my face already?

It's me.

Well.

I don't recall you at all.

Huh? Dr. Ma!

It looks like a rain coat,

but it might not go well with rain boots.

The clothes still aren't here?

Weren't they supposed to be delivered yesterday?

Is there any problem...?

No, no.

I spoke to Designer Huh yesterday,

and she promised to send them today. Happy?

Yes, that's good to hear.

You have Plan B products ready, right?

I got some of the most popular products ready.

You mean, Plan B for in case...

Designer Huh's launching doesn't work out?

Since it's a live show,

we always have Plan B ready just in case.

In that case, you should prepare some of JW Apparel products.

That would be good,

but it'll take way too long to get through all the procedures.

How cute.

You guys are getting all serious...

since we're talking about Plan B.

Tomorrow's show will be a great success,

so don't worry about a thing.

The only time my show wasn't on air...

was when our entire building was flooded several years ago.

Have faith in me. Did you forget who I am?

Oh! You came all the way here!

You're all doing a great job.

This is the most important project of our TV network,

so everybody's full attention is on tomorrow's show.

Thank you so much for everything.

Oh, they're fro JW Apparel.

Dr. Ma In-sung is a very competent consultant...

sent to JW Apparel from a global consulting group,

Boston CNA.

She consulted countless companies all around the world...

and saved so many of them.

I've heard a lot about you.

You're with JW now, huh?

It's a pleasure meeting you.

I'm Director Ahn Jin-bong.

I hope to see you often.

Mr. So.

You should urge Designer Huh Eun-sook...

to hurry up and send her clothes.

No.

You should just go and bring them here yourself.

I thought we're just observers here.

This is the collaboration of Designer Huh Eun-sook...

and JW Apparel's marketing department.

We have the responsibility to take care of the products.

You think observers are supposed to sit back and relax?

Well, we have the 15-year veteran show host, Ms. Hong Ae-ja.

She's the main character here, isn't she?

Wait.

I always thought you were kind of like a robot.

Now I think I know why.

What are you talking about?

What you said earlier to me...

You said you have emotions,

and you feel sad when you say goodbye.

So?

So you'd rather just focus on work without any emotions attached.

And?

It's natural feelings for people to feel sad when they say goodbye.

Since you refuse any kind of emotions and only think of your work,

you're becoming more and more like a robot.

You're blabbering nonsense again.

Didn't you get what I was trying to say?

Since things will get busier, focus on your work.

Don't you know that was my key point?

Fine.

I have no reason to meddle into your life.

But I can't help feeling sorry for you.

Why do you live your life like that?

Work, work, work.

Oh, whatever.

Why should I care?

Who cares if she lives that way until the day she dies?

What?

You feel sorry for me?

Ha!

He should just worry about his own work!

In-sung. What's wrong?

Mom.

Because of Mr. So.

What about him?

He's not focusing on his work and minding my business.

How is he minding your business?

He's saying stuff like don't live your life that way,

that I'll regret this and that...

What's his problem?

What's wrong with the way you live your life?

He's really upset with this and that about me.

He should just do his own work properly.

Why would a handsome guy like that be so weird?

Huh?

You think he's handsome?

I totally disagree with you, Mom.

Fine.

What about Director Ahn?

Isn't he more dashing than Mr. So?

Give me a break!

He's just tall and so plain.

He's so not my type.

Is she just not into guys,

or does she have such high standards?

I wasted all night cooking Gujeolpan.

Is this the cultural center? This is Professor Ma Ji-sung.

I was wondering if I had any more students.

Oh, I see. It's still only Ms. Huh Eun-sook?

Fine. Then I'll skip today's class.

Bye.

They called you again?

Ask them if you can send my clothes tomorrow.

Say I need some final touches.

Don't send them without my permission.

I hope you'll be anxious.

Ms. Huh.

Hi.

Is this your cultural center?

Gosh, just what happened to the luxurious Laura Department Store?

There are so many JW markets all over the country.

Value-wise, it's worth much more than Laura Department Store.

Well, at least there's a cultural center.

If you didn't have this, it'd look like a farmer's market.

The classes are just amazing, too.

The psychology class is done by my daughter-in-law.

She's a professor at Korea University.

It's time for class. Let's go in.

[Psychology Class Cancelled]

Instructor Ma Ji-sung isn't here today.

Why not?

She should know there is a class today.

She was here last week.

But the only student she had didn't show up for class.

Then she should've called that student...

and made sure she showed up for class.

Who is that student?

It's... you... Ms. Huh Eun-sook...

That one student is me?

Yes.

But she should still show up for class.

I even brought more students.

When Professor Ma called earlier,

there was nobody additional registered...

I wore this when I was promoted to first sergeant.

I washed it clean and dried it before folding it.

But it still smells really bad.

I don't want the color to fade if I wash it too often.

Let's see.

This smells bad, too.

Jung-ie, wash these, too.

I washed them last year,

but it smells like mold.

You should've given them to me sooner.

I already did the laundry today.

Hey!

Don't be so hard on that T-shirt.

What if it stretches?

You washed this through the washing machine, huh?

Oops, sorry.

Give that to me.

How many times do I have to tell you...

that I got this T-shirt when I was sent to Baekryungdo?

I can't even buy this again.

Gosh, I have nothing to change into.

I've been wearing this for days now.

What should I wear now?

I told you how I nearly faced death...

during that special training.

I wore this when I was in that training.

Sir, you were home!

What is it?

Oh...

I was wondering whether I could borrow your washing machine.

We have so much laundry ourselves,

as you can see.

I see.

Then how about tomorrow?

I need to use it tomorrow, too.

Since I have three adult kids.

Oh, I see.

It's all right.

Good.

See you later.

He looks bold and proud,

but he got kicked out by his own wife.

Yet when she called, he rushed to her side.

Oh, goodness...

How can he worry about washing his laundry?

He should just do it with his own two hands.

He's so weak-minded...

Gosh...

He was so nice to me just yesterday morning,

but he's acting like a complete jerk!

Fine!

I'll just do my laundry myself.

It's no big deal.

Am I a joke to you?

Mother!

How dare you humiliate me?

What do you mean, Mother?

Get rid of all this crap!

All of it!

Mother, what are you doing?

Mother! You can't mix my materials like that!

Mother!

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

Take that off immediately.

Professor, are you okay?

What is this bad feeling I'm getting?

Don't let Mom know, okay?

You're Commander Ma?

Sergeant So?

I thought she never gets tired, but I guess she gets exhausted, too.

It was around this time of the year, right?

Commander So!

You think Mom raised you to only focus on your studies...

so that you'd be treated this way?

Hee-sung, you don't have the right to say such things.

Why not?

Hey!
