Who is So Jung-geun?

Isn't he from the sales marketing team?

He's suspended for three months.

[Suspended: So Jung-geun; Sales Marketing Team; 3 Months]

[So Jung-geun]

Here's the source of the problem.

Are you happy that you destroyed our star player?

If a team member does something wrong,

the head of the team must take responsibility.

You just throw him under the bus?

What's going on here?

I think something is wrong.

You're playing innocent?

It must be good to be somebody's sister-in-law?

Watch what you say, Director Jung.

What?

Ms. Ma.

Let me have a word with you.

No, hang on.

I'm going to see what's going on here.

What's the reason that Mr. So Jung-geun got suspended for three months?

In-sung...

Call me Ms. Ma.

Since I'm not here for personal reasons...

You must know the reason.

Your team didn't meet the set goal.

I know. So I should be suspended, not him.

You'll definitely pay the price, too. So go back and wait.

I'll be solely responsible for it.

Go back to your office.

Am I...

Am I missing something here?

Break up with him...

Break up...?

Did my mom set you up to this?

I can't tell you anything more.

Come back to me after breaking up with him.

How can you do something like this?

If you want to help him, set him free.

What's the matter with you?

I can't do that.

Then, I have nothing more to say to you.

Can't you please help me out, Woo-jae?

You doing this will only make Mr. So suffer more.

Do you want to make a fool out of the man you love?

If you love him, you should set him free.

So, this is how you lost my sister.

You lost the woman you love over the mothers!

You're doing the same thing to me right now.

I didn't lose Ji-sung.

You'll see in time.

That you'll have nothing left for you.

Anyway, if you break it off with him,

I'll turn things back to the way they were.

What can I do for you this time?

Mother, I solved the problem.

What are you talking about? What problem?

Mr. So won't be seeing In-sung in the office anymore.

Huh? How?

Did you send him to another department?

I suspended him for three months.

What? Suspended him for three months?

Yes.

I talked to him and told him to break up with her,

but he was so stubborn.

And he said he'd take any consequence.

I told you. He's just so darn stubborn.

But suspending him is a bit too much, isn't it?

We'll wait and see what they do.

I told In-sung that I'd have him back if they broke things off.

I really hope she does that.

I hope she'll come to her senses.

Why, of course.

I trust you, Woo-jae.

Sure.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

What did you do wrong?

I know.

Well, I did something wrong.

I opened the system without approval.

And I put our entire team in danger.

Then, why didn't they just punish you then?

They must've been thinking about what to do with me.

Will you give it a rest?

I'm going to take a break and go on trips.

I'll recharge myself.

Ms. Ma.

Aren't you going home?

I'm so sorry.

Why should you be sorry?

I'm the one who opened the system without any approval.

I had this coming.

You know that's not why this happened.

And even if that's the case,

I'm the one who should be responsible since I'm the team leader.

I'm going to set things straight.

Don't do that, In-sung.

I'm not doing this because I'm your girlfriend.

I have to do this as the team leader.

Thank you for saying that.

I actually had a talk with Executive Director.

And I told him I'd take any consequences.

Why did you do that?

Jung-geun, do you want to come to America with me?

America?

No thanks.

Somebody once asked me...

Whether I was trying to freeload off of you.

What?

Who said such a thing?

And if I go to America, I'd have to leave my dad.

Oh, your dad...

Of course, when I get married, my wife will be my top priority.

But my dad is just as important to me as you are.

I'm thinking of leaving for America with you leaving my mom behind.

But I guess that's impossible for you.

We promised to fight this together.

Didn't you see this coming?

I don't want to see you get hurt.

The only person who can hurt me is you.

Just don't change your love for me.

That'll never happen.

Can I trust you on that?

Of course!

Mom, don't you think you went too far this time?

How can you make Woo-jae do such a thing?

You should fight a fair fight!

What's your idea of a fair fight?

Have a fair fight and ruin your life in the process?

I'm so disappointed in you, Mom.

Well, I've been disappointed in you.

Did you ask Jung-geun whether he was trying to freeload off of me?

Yes, I did.

How could you say such a thing?

I heard Woo-jae had a talk with you.

As long as you change your mind, it'll be okay.

If you feel so bad for him, just break up with him.

What will you do?

Will you break up with him or not?

Mom, I'll be really good to you from now on.

Please, Mom!

Quiet.

See? It's too sour.

If you forget to put the kimchi in the fridge,

it'll all go bad like this.

I was too busy working. Sorry.

Jung-ie, I keep on forgetting, too.

So you need to remind me.

You must be getting old, Dad.

You brat. I'm not getting old.

Wait.

Dad, did you sprain your back?

My back... can you massage it?

Right here?

Under there...

Right here?

I'm home...

Hi, Jung-geun.

Dad, does your back hurt?

Dad aged ten more years recently because of you.

What's the matter with you?

Hurry up and go see if he's all right.

Dad.

Did you sleep well?

This is abalone rice.

You need nutritious food in the Summer.

I helped him cook.

How come you're not listening to me, Sun-jae?

I told you to go back to your house.

Dad, let him stay for just a few more days.

Sun-jae says he'll cook one dish per day.

That's not what's important right now.

I don't know what this is all about,

but you should go to your house and solve the problem.

You can't run away from home like this.

You did the same thing a few days ago.

Anyway, go back home after breakfast.

Yes, sir.

Isn't your brother going to work?

How come he didn't have breakfast yet?

Jung-ie, call out your brother.

Jung-geun, you're late!

What will you do today?

I have tons of things to do.

It's a free vacation for me, so I'm going to have a blast.

Good morning, Dad.

Did you guys sleep well?

Sit down, Jung-geun.

Wow, what is this? I've never seen this before.

It's abalone rice.

Really?

Wow, it looks delicious.

Don't you know what time it is?

Aren't you going to work?

Wow, it's this late already?

I would've been late for work.

I'll get up first.

Eat.

See you later.

Let's start the meeting.

Before we start, I have something to say.

I know everyone is worried about the unexpected suspension.

I'm going to make sure that we bring him back.

All right?

I hope you'll focus on your work without worries.

You two are dating, aren't you?

Yes.

How did you find out?

We tried so hard to not let it show.

When did you start dating?

And does that have to do with what happened to Mr. So?

Stop asking her so many questions.

It's fine. I'll explain.

It's true that Jung-geun and I are in love.

And if the suspension is the result of something other than work,

I'm going to fight it until the end.

You're amazing.

You really are, Ms. Ma.

It's like something from the movie.

I know.

What is it? You're scaring me.

I can't accept Mr. So's unreasonable suspension.

I'll take full responsibility as his boss.

I want you to bring Mr. So back.

I told you everything yesterday.

This isn't that simple.

I'm the person in charge of this project.

How can you make a team member the scapegoat?

We came to the decision after much consideration.

We're going to file a complaint to your head office in Boston,

so brace yourself.

I don't care what happens to me.

But please have Mr. So come back.

You doing this only makes me be harder on him?

He has his whole life ahead of him.

After the three-month suspension, it won't be easy for him to switch jobs.

What's this?

Is today a special day?

No, not at all.

It's from Ahn Jin-bong.

It's him? The guy who's here all the time.

Why would he send me these?

Come on, I bet you're happy.

No, I'm not.

Why don't you eat this cake?

'The beauty of these flowers doesn't compete with yours...'

Don't read it. It's embarrassing.

'But I hope they bring a smile to your face.

From yours truly, Ahn Jin-bong.'

Why are you reading my card?

Do girls like stuff like this?

Does he feel jealous that I got flowers?

Hello, Sarah? It's me.

How are you feeling?

My body is healed, but my heart is a mess.

Things are looking really bad right now.

Oh, no.

Well, I can't give up now.

I'm going to put up a fight.

You sound like the Sarah that I know.

Thank you.

I sent your application form to my head office.

It's my turn to thank you.

I'll call you later.

Hello, producer?

Professor, we'll have to cancel this week's recording.

Pardon?

How can you make the public get hooked?

We need to utilize something fresh with something familiar.

It can't be something too old, and it can't be something too new.

Take a step forward, but only half a step forward.

Don't be too artistic.

Wow!

Come in.

Come on in, Ji-sung.

Say hello.

This is Professor Ma Ji-sung.

They're our newest writer and interns.

Hello.

Producer, we'll get going now.

Goodbye.

Bye now.

I came after hearing that you're sick.

What happened?

I actually always had a weak jaw.

I thought I missed his blow, but I guess I was wrong.

You mean, you're sick because of my husband?

I got a bad headache from it.

I'll be better after taking a rest.

You don't have to go to the hospital?

I already did.

Oh, no...

I'm terribly sorry, Hyung-suk. Let me apologize once again.

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

[Wife]

Ji-sung, I can't believe you'd call me.

Did your mother tell you to call me?

Hyung-suk can't have a recording today because of you.

Who?

Ko Hyung-suk, the Blue Rain.

You punched him, remember?

I didn't even hit him that hard.

What a terrible thing to say.

You should go to him and apologize.

Me?

Then, who else should do it?

You'd better do it for my sake.

Oh, gosh...

[Mom]

Hi, Mom.

You're finally answering my calls.

Sun-jae, you're still living in that house, aren't you?

I feel so much more comfortable here than in your house.

What?

I'll send Chauffeur Kim, so come back home.

I wouldn't have left America if I was going to do that.

Sun-jae, this is so unlike you.

You used to love studying.

Just what happened to you?

You don't know how unhappy I was for 26 years

...doing nothing but study.

What?

I finally found something I wanted to do.

I want you to trust me and give me some time.

Sun-jae, listen to me very carefully.

You can do whatever you want to do later.

First, finish your studies in business management and work for the company.

Then I'll let you do anything you want.

Don't try to make me become Woo-jae.

I'm different from him.

What's wrong with your brother?

You think just anybody can become JW's inheritor?

Shouldn't you be asking me what I want to do first?

I don't care at all what you want to do!

Are you looking down on your mother?

I can send people there and drag you here.

Even if you do, unless you put me in jail,

I'll continue to run away from you.

Come and drag me away if you want to.

Gosh, I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

Sun-jae...

Sun-jae!

Oh, my head.

Oh, my head...

Good. That was good.

Good.

Are you sure Mr. Ma isn't going to come back?

Of course.

He said this was the end and then left the house.

But if Dad goes up to the rooftop house,

he'll find out that he's there.

That's why our roles are important.

Let's make a signal.

What signal?

If Dad looks like he'll go up the stairs,

we'll say, 'Mind the steps, Dad!'

Good idea!

Dad, mind the steps!

Like this?

Yeah, exactly.

Good job.

Oh, you want an independent house?

All right, then.

Come by early tomorrow morning.

He must be coming home.

Go up. Come on.

I thought I heard them talking.

Kids!

Jung-ie!

Seung-geun!

Why are you coming down from there?

I wanted to make sure Mr. Ma took his stuff.

Why would you care?

Did Sun-jae leave?

Sun-jae?

Why, of course! A long time ago.

You're home already, Jung-geun?

Yeah, I had to work out of the office today.

Dad, I'm home.

Why is he being so mean to you?

Let's go inside.

Hello, In-sung?

I just came home.

Already?

What did you do today?

I went to the library and went to Insadong.

I also went to the internet cafe.

I see.

Shall we meet later?

I don't know what time I'll end.

I have to take care of your issue.

How will you do that?

You know why I'm at where I am right now.

I said, I'm willing to accept this.

I'm going to fight until the end.

Jung-geun, I'll call you later.

All right. Call me later then.

Are you still working?

Dad came home hours ago.

I'm sure it's uncomfortable for him to face me.

I have to hurry up and wrap it up and leave.

Sit down.

You should come back home.

It's too uncomfortable for you to sleep here.

It's all right.

You're home early today.

Didn't you leave work with In-sung?

Oh...

I had to work outside of the office today.

I came home first.

Everything is okay between you two?

Yes, nothing is wrong between us.

You're not rooting for us anymore, are you?

Well, it doesn't seem like I have any other choice...

I've been giving it some thought.

I married my wife because we were madly in love.

Rookie TV announcer Hong Ae-ja came to interview...

...a poor high school teacher who just debuted as a poet.

And we fell in love instantly.

It was like fire.

Oh, really?

Of course, there was much disapproval.

There were many great guys who were dying to date her.

I didn't think I was qualified to marry her,

so I thought of giving her up.

Every time I did that, she gave me strength.

That we could fight this together.

That we could be happy together.

We'd give each other strength, too.

Please believe in us, Father.

I want to do that,

but I don't want you to suffer.

I mean, look at me now.

Although we got married after that crazy love,

many years later, I got kicked out of the house.

I don't know what's right anymore.

Even if you two are in love,

...if all you can do is hurt each other,

...you should rethink this.

Father.

I'm sorry that I can't be of any help to you.

[Report on Ma In-sung's Performance]

I wrote all the details of the loss and mistakes that I've made

over the past three months as the team leader of sales marketing team.

Why are you giving this to me?

Because you're the most suitable person who will spread this to everyone.

I'm also going to give this to Executive Director.

You can do whatever you'd like with it.

But you must fight for bringing Mr. So back.

[Report on Ma In-sung's Performance]

Where are you going?

Me?

I'm going home.

You can't go anywhere.

Take a look at this.

I just stopped by Director Jung's office, too.

What for?

You know why already.

This report proves that I'm the one, not Mr. So Jung-geun.

...who should be held responsible.

Why are you so naive?

You studied a lot and have been running this enterprise for years,

so how could you let this happen?

Don't know how risky suspending a person is without probable cause?

Without probable cause?

I suspended him after a clear cause.

You don't even belong to my company.

Who are you to give me orders?

As of right now, I belong in your marketing department.

And Mr. So is my subordinate.

Wouldn't it be strange for me to sit back and watch this?

I'm going to spread this report to the media and labor union.

What?

[Subtitles Provided by MBC]

Where are you right now?

I'm in the office working, of course.

Office?

I said, I'm fine.

Well, I'm not fine.

Fire Ms. Ma In-sung.

I can't do that.

Baek Woo-jae!

If you want me to get on my knees, I'll do that.

Father, please don't do this.

Dad, I'm sorry.

I don't want you to get hurt, son.

I was so happy to be with you, Jung-geun.

In-sung...
