(Episode 5)

What is this junk?

I'm so sorry, sir.

I wonder why it doesn't work when it's close to new.

I haven't gone camping in a while, and this ruined it.

- Are you going to compensate? - Of course.

- Do you need anything else? - No.

Don't ever call me again if you're selling junk like this.

How could you? Gosh, I'm so lonely.

I'll deposit the amount right away.

It looks like you went with a woman.

It must have ruined the mood.

I'm so sorry.

Wait. Give it to me.

Sir, you always sound so lonely.

If you prefer camping over golf,

why don't I introduce you...

to a woman instead of used goods?

As you know, I'm a hiking club president.

It would cost me.

It would cost you very little.

- Close the door. - Okay.

Call me whenever you need a taxi.

Please take care, sir.

Dae Geun.

- That jerk... - Don't say a word.

Who's Chairman Scrooge?

Stop digging through my stuff. Don't you sleep at all?

He's my regular.

I heard that people who cheated...

saved numbers of women as chairman or manager.

Where on earth do you get that stuff?

Eun Kang isn't getting married.

Stop it.

- What nonsense is this? - What nonsense is this?

It doesn't look like Eun Kang will get married.

I should have known when his anus was on fire.

- It was on fire? - It's a long story.

Is that why he won't marry her?

I don't know about that,

but he cheated on her.

So it is on fire.

- Come outside. - You should stop, Eun Kang.

I'm telling them everything to make you stop.

- Is this true? - He started seeing someone...

as soon as he passed the exam.

She's pregnant now.

They have a wedding date too.

How is he so fast?

He's going to get it.

Let's go break him to pieces.

Hey, Dae Bong. You shouldn't hit him.

You'll be charged with assault. Ban Sook.

Hey! Come on.

Wait a minute. Dae Bong!

Did you have to do that?

Does it make you happy to bring me down to my lowest?

I know you won't give up otherwise.

You didn't know she was pregnant, did you?

Baby, it's a misunderstanding.

I'm the victim. I was stalked.

She stalked me.

Don't be like this when we have our date set.

Hey! Come here!

Baby, I'll call you later.

- Get him! - Fire!

Fire!

- Get him! - Come here.

Fire!

- Catch him. - Fire!

Come here.

- Darn it. - Come here.

- Hey. - Police! Call the police!

Ban Sook, make sure it's not noticeable.

You jerk.

How dare you make a fool of my daughter and then throw her away?

- You can't do this. - You deserve to die.

My daughter supported you for four years.

How dare you forget that and cheat on her?

- The hair. - Wait a minute.

Wait. Please stop!

Don't even bother with him. It's making it worse for Eun Kang.

You won't have a good life. No way.

The skies are watching you.

One day, you'll end up getting in my taxi.

Let's go, Dae Bong.

I'm sorry. Ban Sook. I'm sorry!

Gosh.

This is why I shouldn't deal with losers like you.

Why are you so persistent?

Your whole family is like leeches.

What's so wrong about breaking up after a relationship?

You hit me on the same spot.

Darn it! I'm bleeding.

Darn it!

How embarrassing.

I boasted to everyone about my oldest daughter getting married.

What are we going to say to our friends back home?

That he cheated on her, and we called it off?

What on earth did you do to make him dump you? You fool.

I'm sorry I got dumped.

How stupid could you be to let him cheat on you?

You're getting punished for your cheating dad.

What are you talking about? Don't link the two.

The world knows it, and so do you, me,

the children, and Dae Geun.

What a fool.

Can't you control your man? Why did you let him cheat on you?

That's enough.

Was it your fault Dae Bong cheated on you?

She's already upset as it is.

- You should be more considerate. - Stop.

Come out here!

Why did you make him come over to greet us?

I even made him galbijim.

It's because you didn't use Korean beef.

You're going to be 40 soon.

Yet you didn't even know he was cheating on you.

Come out here!

(Dermatologist Ko Cha Won)

Eun Kang.

Nam Chul will be so happy to see your duck baeksuk.

I should feed him well to keep on slaving him.

He's already eating well. He eats in the middle of the night.

He'd die for food. I don't know why he's so obsessed.

Your dad was the same.

Every man that moves in seems to be obsessed with food.

It's because I grew up starving.

When I was really obsessed, I couldn't get enough.

I'd feel hungry as if I didn't eat anything.

Do you feel better now?

He's more than full.

But what's the point?

He was so skinny despite eating so much.

He gained some weight now that he's older,

but people thought he was starving when he was younger.

He was skinny like a stick.

Nam Chul is the same.

He's so skinny considering the amount he eats.

I gain weight just from water.

Do you even know why I was always hungry?

Living with your in-laws can make you hungry.

I can't gain weight when I feel not welcome.

That only applies to women.

You're a man.

She's like the lottery. Not a single match.

We're such a bad match.

Gosh, I'm so lonely.

(Ji Nam Soon)

- Hello. - Hello, Mr. Ko.

Thank you so much...

for sending such a big amount of money again.

- Pardon? - Thanks to you,

my father got his implants.

We're so thankful you sent us 10,000 dollars.

We won't forget your kindness.

Sure.

She said 10,000 dollars, right?

She didn't say 70 or 100 dollars, right?

I didn't hear it wrong, did I?

No.

Gosh! Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Taxi.

Dad!

Taxi!

Gosh.

The apartment complex is really big.

The bidding was competitive.

A lot of contractors were involved.

(CEO, Ji Nam Chul)

Don't even get me started. There were many swindlers.

It'll be demolished next week.

Nam Chul!

Let's talk again later.

How dare you fool me?

How could you backstab me?

How could you sneak away 10,000 dollars?

How can you call yourself human?

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry, Father. - You're sorry?

I'm still alive and well!

My eyes are open wide.

How dare you pocket money?

How dare you? This is embezzlement.

I'm going to sue you!

- Chairman Ko. - Stay quiet.

You should become an example in front of your employees.

How could you embezzle money?

- What do you have to say? - Dad!

Dad, let's talk at home.

It'll bring up your blood pressure.

Why did I even entrust it to him?

Is this how you repay kindness?

Why did you do that?

You made him angry.

We'll talk at home. Come, let's go.

Come straight home after work.

Gosh... Geum Ah...

I can't believe this.

Please continue eating.

If anyone calls, tell them I'm out of the office.

Mr. Ji, you're bleeding.

Hop off.

Drive before anyone sees us.

(Mul Sang Resources)

Where are we headed?

(Eurwangni Beach)

Let's go here. It's the nearest beach.

You will be directed to your destination.

Please take a right turn shortly.

Mr. Ji, over there.

(Eurwangni Grilled Clams)

A bottle of soju and beer each. And we'll have clam soup, please.

Sure.

Let's have a beer and soju cocktail.

I'll hire a driver for you later.

Give me your hand.

I'm a certified nurse assistant.

Why does the chairman receive your salary?

We all live under the same roof,

and he pays for expenses as well as my kids' education.

It's been that way...

since day one.

You're broke, then.

I bet you don't have any money saved on the side.

Not even having 10,000 dollars at the age of 50 makes you a loser.

Receive a monthly paycheck, pay for living expenses...

as well as your kids' education, and voice your own opinions.

There's nothing to show for your hard work.

Your kids must believe that their grandpa pays for everything

The same goes for your wife.

Darn it.

Who cares, right?

You were gaslighted by the chairman, and now he walks all over you.

Other companies would pay more for your work.

The amount isn't everything.

He'll let me take over the company someday.

I doubt the penny-pincher would ever do that.

The employees talk behind your back,

saying that he'd never let his son-in-law take over.

So much for graduating from SNU law school.

It's about time you got what's rightfully yours.

This just isn't right.

This is why you should never take in a black-haired animal.

Darn it.

I'm lonely.

It's as if I took in a cub that'd bite me later on.

Judging by his actions,

he won't respect me as the chairman anymore...

and run the company into the ground.

Who knows? He could have already siphoned our money.

I can't believe he had the audacity to embezzle 10,000 dollars...

when all that he gave me was 300 dollars.

Get him home and have him beg for mercy.

How dare he steal from us.

What a loser.

(Eurwangni)

Mr. Ji,

let's grab another round of drinks.

- Here. - No way.

The mileage can go on this card.

It's 3 for the price of 2, right? I made sure to get an extra.

Here's the coupon I'll be paying with.

A dime per plastic bag, right? I'll take two.

Two, got it.

I used to work part-time at a convenience store.

I'd like a room, please.

Make sure it's nice and soundproof.

I worked the counter at a motel before as well.

Follow me.

Aren't you coming in?

Mr. Ji.

Today's the last day you'll be pushed around.

Fight back, okay?

Only then will they learn.

It's like your family has no respect for an SNU law school graduate.

It's so "aggy."

Starting today,

you'll fight back.

Fight back!

Eun Kang, life is hard, isn't it?

It's all right though.

None of it is your fault.

Eun Kang, hang in there.

(None of it is your fault. Eun Kang, hang in there.)

Be gentle with that!

Gosh.

It keeps falling apart.

Where were you? You weren't answering your phone.

I can't even imagine how heartbroken you are.

Here.

I've been waiting up for you.

I only managed to get two bottles though.

My tab at the corner shop was at its limit.

I won't drink it too fast, then.

Don't worry. I'll get you another once you polish that off.

Saying "Darling, you're the hottest"...

will get me two more cans.

There. You laughed.

Eun Kang.

Don't be too nice to guys...

in the future.

You...

You're too sweet to realize this,

but men will take you for granted.

I heard that a woman who's generous and caring...

is mostly viewed as a mother figure.

- Says who? - Eun San.

Gosh.

I mean...

She's insightful for someone who doesn't date.

It depends on the guy, but she's right.

It's one of the things...

that ruins the romance in a relationship.

Those immature tend to step away from women who are too generous.

Do you know what's funny though?

As you age, you miss being with women...

who are maternal.

Your mom said the same thing.

"It's not love if you give too much."

That's too painful.

It's the same thing.

Whether it's money or love,

the one who spends more ends up hurt.

You made me smile.

Keep smiling. It's nothing.

Smiling through the pain is the best medicine.

Don't drink alone because you're in pain.

When a man drinks alone,

they look like they're emotionally lonely.

But when a woman drinks alone,

they look like they're physically lonely.

That's why losers end up trying to hit on them.

Is there anything you don't know?

Only when it comes to men and women.

If you want to drink, give me a call.

Gosh. If you're in love, you have to be happy.

But why do you always end up getting hurt?

Maybe it's because you expect too much.

What did you expect?

I wanted the feelings I had...

to be reciprocated back to me.

That didn't happen, so I got hurt.

Love shouldn't be calculated and something you fall deeply into.

- Eun Kang. - Yes?

This too will pass.

I'm home.

Father!

I'm home!

Come on out!

What are you doing? Dad is sleeping.

Hurry on upstairs. Where did you drink so much?

Father!

Father, come outside.

I'm here. What do you want?

How dare you raise your voice?

Let me ask you one thing.

Am I your son-in-law...

or your slave?

What's gotten into you?

- Let's go upstairs. - Why is it so noisy?

It's so tacky.

Does it make you happy to bring me down...

and embarrass me in front of the other employees?

Do you know how "aggy" that makes me?

When did I ever take you for everything you've got?

I don't even take free samples!

What are you even talking about?

I'm not the one who took you for everything you've got!

Rather, aren't you the one who took me for everything I've got?

- Everything! - What is all this?

- Is there something wrong? - Yes!

There is.

I've aged the wrong way.

I met you when I was 17 years old.

And for 32 years, I did everything you asked me to do.

I never got to drive a nice car,

and I always rode around in that clunker...

and worked my butt off!

Do you know how much that's worth?

My dad can't even eat porridge because he doesn't have teeth!

"Lost for words."

Was it such a terrible sin to help him get a new set of teeth?

I gave everything I had for this company for over 20 years!

Am I,

Ji Nam Chul, not even worth 10,000 dollars?

That really isn't something you should've said!

You should've gotten my permission!

How dare you embezzle 10,000 dollars without telling me?

Would you have given it to me if I had asked?

I need to walk on eggshells over sending him 2,000 dollars a month.

You make sure they thank you...

for sending the money too.

I'm sure you would've given me 10,000 dollars.

You feel like you got hit in the back of the head?

I got hit in the back, the front, the side,

- and all around! - Oh, my!

Oh, my. Look at how he beats himself up.

This is an illness. He needs to see a doctor.

You're lying about handing over the company to me, right?

I know that I'm a pushover.

What are you doing in front of me?

How dare you throw a drunken fit in front of me?

My gosh! I'm so lonely!

My gosh. They say you become a dog when you're drunk.

"A dog?"

Does your son-in-law look like a dog to you?

Oh, my. What's wrong with him?

I'm not the one who said, "You become a dog when you're drunk."

It's just a saying.

Don't you know that as a graduate of SNU law school?

- How tacky. - Yes!

I'm tacky.

"Who cares?"

What did you say last time when you came to the office?

You told me to get in line since I'm just a slave...

who's living off of his in-laws.

Who should I get in line with?

Should I get in line with you...

or with Father?

Oh, my. When did I say that?

You're too smart for your own good.

"I'm the real chairman of this company!"

"If you don't listen to me, you'll be left with nothing!"

That's what you said!

Drag him upstairs right now!

You should go to bed too. You can talk when he's sober.

- Let's go inside. - Gosh, I'm so lonely!

Gosh, I'm so lonely!

That's what I should be saying!

Why you...

Father!

Look here!

Are you avoiding me?

Father!

Darn it.

Let go of me!

Why that...

Shouldn't we get him fired?

What was that again?

When you agreed to get married but betray someone.

Seducing someone under the pretense of marriage?

They got rid of that law.

You can't sue him for that even if you wanted.

You know about those things too?

He's an expert on issues between men and women.

If he studied, he would've made a name for himself.

If we make it a big deal, it'll only be an embarrassment.

Let's just think of it as bad luck and get over it.

Hey, can you take out the bones?

Do it yourself.

I'm already annoyed as it is. Why would you ask me to do it now?

You're so senseless.

You used to do it for me when you were seducing me.

What nonsense is that? When did I do that?

You did that for me, Ms. Yang Ban Sook.

When you were trying to seduce me, Cho Dae Bong.

I thought my life would bloom if I married someone like you.

Bloom, my foot.

So you fell for me over fishbones?

Not because I was pretty?

What kind of nonsense is that?

Your sister-in-law has the tendency to talk a lot of nonsense.

I'll take the bones out for you.

Stop joking around.

If you look down on your wife,

you'll end up dying alone.

When did you get home?

You should meet a good guy.

Don't end up like your sister.

Eun San's different.

She has to be.

Everything she invested in for four years went to the dogs.

She can't help but mess things up.

She should've married the guy her friend married.

Why give him to her?

She didn't give him to her. I told you she was no match for her.

Our family doesn't compare to hers.

In dramas,

poor girls always end up marrying the rich guy.

That's because it's a drama.

I'm going to move out.

People my age all live alone. This house is too small.

Our family's rule is that you can't live alone...

until you get married.

Just be honest.

Say it's because of the compensation.

If this area gets redeveloped, the tenants get compensated too.

They give you more money depending on how many people live together.

There are also rumors that you get priority to move into the apartment.

We have to stay here no matter what.

Did you hear your mom?

Then it'll be advantageous...

for me to stay here in multiple ways.

Don't think about spending money now that you have a job.

Save up and get married.

I'm getting tired of telling you I'm not getting married.

Why won't you get married?

Those who don't have money should benefit from their husbands.

The ones who can't afford to live alone always say they'll live alone.

Hey! Come out and finish eating before I clean it all up.

It's not like you're young. You'll be 40 soon.

I told you I'm not 40!

Hey. Eun Kang...

Gosh.

Eun Kang is sensitive about her age.

Everyone's sensitive about their age.

You wouldn't be happy if someone said you were almost 70.

(CEO, Ji Nam Chul)

My gosh!

Am I your son-in-law or your slave?

I got hit in the back, the front, the side, and all around!

You're lying about handing over the company to me, right?

Gosh, I'm so lonely!

That's what I should be saying!

Dad, I brought you some food...

What were you doing?

What were you doing...

while your husband lashed out at me and ruined the company?

You people... Take that out with you!

Goodness.

Hello, ma'am.

Where's the Mr. Ji?

He didn't come in today.

- Are you the new bookkeeper? - Yes.

You must not know since you're new here,

but if Mr. Ji says he needs money to send or spend,

you have to tell Chairman Ko first.

Why?

You're asking me why?

What's the reason I need to do that?

Mr. Ji is the one who does all the work.

Chairman Ko is the owner of the company.

I feel bad for Mr. Ji.

He should at least have you on his side.

Don't meddle in our family matters.

Just focus on your bookkeeping.

Bye.

What do you think the answer is?

Is it this?

That's right.

"Write down the symbol that best describes..."

"the feeling of a television."

That's correct.

That hurts!

You're making the place smell when he's studying.

I'm so sorry, Ms. Cho.

It's okay.

Let's keep going.

(Han Ba Da)

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Forget about that jerk.

Cha Won says you should cheer up too.

Cheer up!

Dad.

Using a bowl is too much.

I'm just lonely.

You have me. Why are you lonely?

You should put your trust in Nam Chul.

Stop checking the ledger too.

He needs to earn his trust.

How can I trust someone who embezzled public funds?

But you went overboard, yelling at him in front of everyone.

He only did it for his father's teeth.

I don't care what he used it for.

Embezzlement is never acceptable.

Just look at the criminals being taken in by the government.

They were all charged with embezzlement.

He got caught for 10,000 dollars,

but who knows how much more he pocketed?

He became our family over 30 years ago.

He worked for the company for 20 years. You know that.

I thought I knew him,

but I got backstabbed.

He would never do something absurd. I can assure you.

I regret I was so confident in him.

But he made your dream come true.

What dream?

A son who studied medicine and a son-in-law who studied law.

Who cares if he studied law?

He failed the bar exam so many times.

If I gave him work, he should do his job well.

How could he do this?

He did his job well.

He must have been so embarrassed in front of the employees.

I'm the one that was embarrassed. You have no idea.

They must think I have no idea even if my son-in-law lives off me.

They must take me for a fool.

How much do you make?

Not a chance.

You told me you were sick of giving shots...

and using machines on women.

You should take over the company.

You'll make more than now.

I could never do it.

Just leave it to the person who has been managing it...

I can't leave it to them. They'll squander it all.

That's why you only have Nam Chul.

Hurry and have a son for me.

We don't have time if I have to train him before I die.

You have Woon.

Are you out of your mind?

I won't leave it to him. We're not blood-related.

Of course, you're blood-related. He's your grandson.

We have different last names!

It makes me so anxious.

If such a thing happened,

why didn't he come to me right away to apologize?

He should have begged me for forgiveness.

That's the attitude he should have!

How dare he?

He's impossible.

Don't even mention it.

Neither of us got any sleep.

We were shaking in anger.

More like shaking from farting.

I'm going to get poisoned.

The smell is one thing,

but can you do something about the sound?

Why do your farts sound like that?

How can I control that?

See me before you go.

(CEO, Ji Nam Chul)

I was waiting for you, but I'm going to go home.

You're an old man. You should just get over it.

None of us finds you at fault.

They're all badmouthing Chairman Ko.

Cheer up, Mr. Ji. See you tomorrow.

Where on earth are you? Why haven't you called?

How could you talk so carelessly to my father after drinking?

Hurry back home and beg for his forgiveness.

(Hangover Relief)

I heard Ba Da was popular before getting married.

It looked like she had a lot of men when she studied abroad.

- Who says? - I hear things too, you know.

Honey.

You were popular when you studied in Italy, right?

Did you have a lot of guys around you?

I had a lot of guy friends.

Did you date any?

It's a secret.

Why do you suddenly ask?

I'm just curious.

I told you all about it before.

My father's business was at its peak then.

I was told to return fast to help out.

But I said I wouldn't until I got my degree and held on.

There was no time to see any guys.

Why are you suddenly curious?

What?

No, I'm just asking.

How is Eun Kang by the way?

She says she's fine,

but she never shares her feelings.

She tends to keep it to herself.

She won't be able to get over him overnight.

They dated for four years.

It probably hurt her pride too.

It's like that with women.

Even when we're dumped, we lie and say we dumped them.

Be good to her.

You're the only friend she can trust.

I will.

- Is everything okay with Ms. Na? - Yes.

You should treat her well.

You should try to please her.

That's going overboard.

There's nothing bad in treating the elders nicely.

It'll make your husband happy too.

You almost couldn't get married. It was only thanks to Cha Won.

Please don't think of it that way.

You talk as if I don't deserve him.

Hey.

If Cha Won asks you anything, just say you don't know...

instead of making a mistake.

- About what? - Anything.

This is sweet.

- Why did you do that? - Don't fight.

- Don't fight. - Are you picking a fight?

You're not the only one who works!

- You don't own this place. - Calm down.

- Stop pushing me. - Listen to me.

You need to calm down.

- No, he needs a lesson! - Please stop.

I was going to leave without a word, but you caught me.

Someone will steal it if you leave it there.

I didn't know that.

Did you eat?

I brought the car. Do you want to go for some food?

That stupid taxi?

Here.

Hey...

Eun Byeol.

Make sure to lock your door.

Call me right away if anything happens.

Okay?

I don't have any money.

Search all you want. I don't have anything.

Gosh.

You can't let her stay in a place like that.

We need to find her a clean studio at least.

Give me the deposit at least.

I'll cover the rent.

What do you do with all the money you earn?

They seize all of my pay in advance because of you.

I can't get a loan because you ruined my credit.

Hey, brother.

I'm not your brother.

I told you not to call me that.

Go back in before he beats you.

They're asking for a kimchi pancake.

Should I just beat him?

Gosh.

I'll turn him into a pancake.

Stop it!

Why are you so scared he'll get beat up...

when your daughter is staying in a place like that?

Eun Byeol has you,

but he doesn't have anyone except me.

Do you even hear yourself?

Are you his mom? Is he your son?

Listen.

Prepare the money by this week. Do you understand?

Gosh.

That hurts.

I can't afford it even if my life depends on it!

Stop acting up.

What did you say?

- Nothing. - Just go.

- That hurts. - Are you okay?

Gosh.

- My goodness. - My back...

Father, won't you come home?

Please come home tonight.

I'm heading out.

Please wrap up and go home later.

If Chorong Company comes by,

hand them those documents.

You'll go home, won't you?

Bye, Mr. Ji.

(Ko Mul Sang)

Is that so?

I'm home.

Why are you even back?

Because he had nowhere else to go.

Are you sorry or not? Tell me.

I'm so lonely!

Beg grandpa for his forgiveness.

If I had been there, I wouldn't have let it slide.

Grandpa,

please don't be too mean to Dad.

You're the reason he hasn't been home.

How dare you take your father's side.

Don't you know whose money you're spending?

Dad pays for it all by working hard.

What?

I know you hate him because he's not your biological son.

Does that mean you hate me too for having his surname?

You also once lived with your in-laws...

and was in the same situation as Dad.

This isn't how you should live your life!

What on earth is he saying?

Why are you also acting out?

He's just like his father.

I'm his son, so of course.

What did he have for dinner?

Nothing. I didn't eat.

My dad hasn't been home,

so how could I possibly eat?

Son of the Year, are you?

You work him like a dog,

but the company will be passed down to Uncle Cha Won's son.

I feel bad for my dad who has worked his butt off for you.

You'll pay for this, you know!

Watch your mouth.

Where did you pick up such a saying?

Where else?

You and Grandpa say it all the time.

Go to your room and study. You little brat.

Wake up, Mom!

Look at Grandma and Grandpa siding together.

Doesn't that mean you should take Dad's side?

That's what it means to be married!

Goodness.

I don't care how smitten she is with this guy.

The kid shouldn't be living in a tiny studio apartment.

You must feel terrible.

It's a place for students,

but not many students live there.

The tenants are mostly shady drunkards.

I have no right to be a father.

It's not like I can get her a place to stay.

You really shouldn't have gotten married back then.

After ending it with your first love,

you slept with that woman out of spite.

She got pregnant, and you ended up living with her.

We always end up regretting anything we do out of spite.

If only you had listened to me.

Abandon her when she was pregnant with my child?

I had to be responsible.

You and that useless sense of responsibility.

It taught me a lesson though.

I now take my time and settle for less...

rather than sleeping with any random woman.

It scared you good, didn't it?

Dae Bong, could you suggest to Ban Sook...

that we let her stay for a while?

As if she'd ever listen to me.

Try bringing it up when she's in a good mood.

Gosh.

Were you talking about me behind my back?

Of course not.

Would you like a shot?

When I just woke up?

I was told that Eun Byeol was staying in a tiny studio apartment.

Dae Geun's worried sick.

What are you telling me for? In your dreams.

Why did you give that woman all your money in the divorce?

You even took out a loan.

That cheating tramp didn't deserve it.

It wasn't for her. It was for the welfare of his kid.

You should've held on to the money though.

A woman drunk on men wouldn't care for her child.

Ask her for the money back.

Why don't you get it back for him? You're good at things like this.

How much would be in it for me?

- You'll get 20 percent. - I want 50.

I guess I should meet this tramp.

You're someone that makes life even harder on yourself.

If you had been a woman, you would've been wild.

Finish this off and come to bed.

What for?

She's right, you know.

The cruddy life I was given is evident in the way...

I was left at your house by my own mom.

Dad was the one who left you at the door.

He was too scared of my mom to bring you inside.

My mom gave you a hard time growing up, didn't she?

I understand her now that I'm older.

How could she be fond of a kid born out of an affair?

I'm lucky she didn't kick me out.

And I have you to thank.

The other brothers hated me,

but you always looked out for me.

You were dropped off at our house twice.

- When you were a baby, and... - Stop.

Let's not talk about that.

Goodness.

Hi, Mr. Ji.

You're here early.

Or maybe not.

You didn't go home yesterday.

Mr. Ji.

Check this out.

Hilarious, right?

Videos like these must crack you up too.

I'll send you some that are funny.

Thanks for the other day.

For the drink, I mean.

Come to me whenever you need a drinking buddy.

Mr. Ji, you didn't black out, right?

At the motel.

Anyone who hears you might get the wrong idea.

But no one's at work yet.

We kissed at the motel.

What?

Really?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Eun San. I made a huge mistake.

You didn't. I'm the one who kissed you.

You?

Why?

Why else? Because I wanted to.

Are you going to report me to the authorities?

Here. The money and rings.

I don't know if I should take this back.

I should give it back since the wedding is no longer.

Your parents must be furious since he even came by to meet them.

Why don't we have dinner together with Cha Won?

Maybe some other time.

He's worried sick.

He says it's a lot to take for someone as sweet as you.

I'll get going, then.

Call me if you need me to run errands.

Sure thing.

Eun Kang, wait.

Ma'am, would it be possible...

to push back the meeting by two hours?

Thank you.

Let's go.

- Where? - You'll see.

No, it's fine.

You're in need of a pick-me-up.

Buying shoes always works for me.

- Take your pick. - It's fine.

The shoes here are expensive, and I don't wear this brand.

What's with all this talking? Maybe I should pick one for you.

How about this one?

Don't. They're too pricey.

Just try them on, will you?

Then, what about...

that one?

Aren't they too high for you?

I'd like to try them on.

So much for getting dizzy.

Actually, it may be a good idea to wear these...

and look down on the world.

How do I look?

New clothes for new shoes. Try them on. It's my treat.

Aren't you spending too much?

Don't worry. I sold the house for this.

Eun Kang, I'm coming in.

No way. You have a killer body.

Don't always stick to gloomy colors and wear clothes like this too.

You know what?

Let's go all the way while we're at it.

- What are you doing? - We'll switch purses.

No, don't. Yours is expensive while mine isn't.

Just accept it while I'm being generous.

It's worth getting dumped, right?

You're getting a designer purse out of it.

You can't buy this purse...

even if you wait in line at the crack of dawn.

I know that. Are you sure about this?

Take it before I change my mind.

I have plenty.

What comes next should be a blind date.

I don't look like myself.

It's you for sure, Eun Kang.

I'm being pampered for getting dumped.

If you ever get divorced, I'm buying you a car.

I'll hold you to that.

- Ba Da. - Gosh.

Come on.

Take a look.

(Rocket Run)

Here.

Dae Geun!

Hey, Dae Bong.

My gosh. What happened to you?

Careful.

Why were you waiting outside? I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry? Let's go inside.

- It hurts! - That's hot.

My gosh, that door sill.

Treat your wife that nicely.

You don't even blink when I say my back hurts.

I guess Dae Geun is special to you.

Stop that. He's in pain.

I told you not to carry heavy things.

Loading and unloading boxes at night make a lot of money.

It's all because of that punk.

The punk who practically broke your back.

I know you told me never to talk about it again.

But when I saw you passed out in front of the house,

I thought you were dead.

You got beaten to a pulp over a girl.

It's all in the past now.

Is this the past?

It's happening in the present.

Where did you say that punk lives?

I don't know.

I forgot.

They say you could bump into your enemies when getting in a taxi.

I'm sure he'll take my taxi someday.

Just wait and see. I'll beat him up!

Eat up. It's sushi.

I'm sorry.

I don't regret telling them, though.

(Tae Ki: You didn't eat. Right?)

You didn't eat. Right?

It breaks my heart.

Let's meet at the 24-hour Korean restaurant in Noryangjin.

I'll wait for you.

It's him. Isn't it?

Don't go.

Eun Kang!

(Storage Lockers)

(Ssambap, Barley Rice, Chueotang)

You look hot.

I thought you were Ba Da.

Have a seat. I ordered the fish set we always got.

You lost so much weight in the past few days.

Did you hurt your nose badly?

I got hit in the same spot by both you and your sister,

so I thought I had broken it.

Luckily, the doctors said it was fine.

You didn't eat yet. Right?

It's obvious. You don't eat when you're upset.

I didn't know you knew that.

Why wouldn't I?

It's been four years.

Let's eat. I couldn't eat either.

I don't know why I was craving this so much today.

I think I missed the memories with you more than the food.

Gosh, it's good.

It tastes the same.

Eat up.

You always took out the bones for me.

Whenever I had a hard time, you would buy me food...

and give me courage.

I passed the exam thanks to you.

I will never forget what you did for me.

I won't.

Hey. Can I ask a favor?

Can you meet with my girl once?

She's throwing a fit, saying she won't marry me.

But it'd be wrong if I said, "Okay. Let's not get married."

She's pregnant with my kid after all.

If it weren't for the baby, I wouldn't get married.

Can you tell her that you were my stalker?

Just tell her that you followed me around because you liked me.

Is that why you told me to come here?

That and to grab a meal with you.

The first thing you say...

after telling me about how I took fish bones out for you...

is to tell your girl or whatever that I was your stalker?

You piece of trash.

I came out with good intentions since you asked me to eat.

What did you expect?

The entire family came out and beat me to a pulp.

Fine. I'm sorry.

Can't you do this for me given our history?

Forget it.

What did you say when you went to see Ba Da?

What did you say to Cha Won?

Tell me.

What did you say to them?

It depends on what you do for me.

Did you call me trash?

You're worse than me.

You have nothing better to do than get between a married couple?

Stop it.

You don't know anything.

You think I don't know?

I knew it all along, but I just pretended not to.

It's making me mad thinking about it again.

Did you borrow her clothes?

You can't become your friend by imitating her.

Stop dreaming!

You can try all you want, but you'll just be an imitation.

Shut your mouth before I rip out your tongue.

Pay back your debt to me.

What debt?

Didn't you give me that money because you liked me?

- What? - It's true.

I never asked you for it.

You gave it to me on your own because you wanted to.

You paid for my food, my clothes, our hotel fees, and my rent.

You even gave me spending money.

Legally, I don't even need to pay you back.

I can't believe I wanted to...

You wanted to get married to someone like me.

Let me ask you one thing.

Did you really want to marry me?

At your age?

My gosh.

I want to get married, have kids, and live a good life.

You can't have kids. You're almost 40.

You were never even in the game.

Did you forget?

Our kid.

You said you weren't in the right place,

so we should get married after you have passed the exam.

You said we should have kids after we had a grand wedding.

Those are the words that came out of your mouth.

You attacked me with your pregnancy,

so I only counterattacked.

Didn't you know?

I guess you didn't.

You don't come from a good family,

and you're so much older than me.

And most importantly,

who would want a future...

with someone who's in love with someone else's husband?

I might not have book smarts, but I catch on to that quickly.

If that was the case, you should've gone after a stupider guy.

You don't even know your place,

so how are you teaching kids how to write?

My gosh.

Are you going to hit me again?

I was going to sue your entire family for assault, but I didn't.

If you hit me again, I'm going straight to the police.

A jerk like you...

isn't worth hitting,

and it'd be a waste of time to hit you.

But...

Darn it!

Sue me.

You said this was assault too.

My wedding is about to fall apart because of you.

Are you going to meet my girl or not?

If you leave like this, you'll regret it.

I don't care.

Do whatever you want.

You evil jerk.

Are you awake?

You're here early.

Gosh, what time is it?

I came a little early.

It's hangover soup.

I see you drank two bottles of soju.

Your back will hurt if you sleep on that.

It's not good to drink alone every day.

I told you I'd be your drinking buddy.

Eat up before it gets cold.

Thank you, Eun San.

If you're grateful, may I go out in the afternoon?

Sure.

(Ko Mul Sang)

Hello, ma'am.

What brings you here?

I came to see Chairman Ko.

Where's Nam Chul?

He's working his hardest at work.

- Is he sleeping at the office? - It looked like it.

He doesn't have the money for a hotel.

His whole salary goes to Chairman Ko.

He has a credit card, and he has money to spend.

I see. I'm sorry.

I tend to know too much because I'm the bookkeeper.

Wait a minute.

So, what are you here for?

I heard you liked camping.

Your camping car is really cool.

What do you enjoy eating when you're camping?

- Meat, of course. - Right?

But when it's cold and snowy in the winter,

it isn't easy to barbecue outside.

- What do you do then? - I'd have to forget about it.

Why? Barbecued meat is so delicious.

You can barbecue indoors.

How?

This can comes from canned pineapple.

It's bigger than the can they use for canned saury.

I cut it with scissors to make this.

Then,

do this.

Place some foil inside.

Get some charcoal...

and put it inside.

Place a grill like so, and you're done.

You can grill piece by piece. It's very delicious.

Does this really work?

Of course. I like to go camping too.

I learned it from a friend who has been camping for years.

It's the best thing to barbecue with when you're camping alone.

It's a gift for you.

Gosh, what a great idea.

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

I came to run the ledger by you.

All right.

Let's take a look.

What is this? Is this it?

Yes, sir.

We got a big discount from this big store you mentioned.

Yes. I see.

What are they talking about?

I don't know, but she's a fox.

She's holding onto the money and won't give it back,

saying she'll report it.

I'm coming in.

Please have some tea.

What? What are they doing so quietly?

They're checking the ledger.

You are right, she's really something.

Mother, I'm here. Geum Ah.

Gosh, look who it is.

What brings your grace to this humble place?

I should visit before I'm scolded.

I wouldn't dare scold...

my precious daughter-in-law.

I'm tiptoeing while reading your face.

I'm sorry for making you tiptoe.

You won't ever let me have the last word.

Mom, that's enough.

Why are you always on her side?

I'll get going now, sir.

Bye. See you next time.

- She's our bookkeeper. - I see.

She looks familiar.

That's impossible.

I guess you're right.

These hotel cookies taste good.

You probably tasted many like these...

since you studied abroad.

Her family used to be rich, so I'm sure she did.

Rich? They're penniless now.

Come on, Mom.

I'm only telling the truth.

The whole world knows it.

Her father collapsed on their wedding day,

so the wedding turned into a funeral.

What a mess in front of our guests.

He should have waited. He's so impatient.

My heart races even now just thinking about it.

Don't be so dramatic.

I'm sorry,

but can you stop bringing up the past?

No father would want to do that...

on their daughter's wedding day.

It's a painful past I can't get over.

Why can't you just apologize and end it there?

Do you need to say so much?

I heard you had a lot of men.

Pardon?

I heard you were popular in school,

and you dated a lot of guys when you were abroad.

I was popular.

I guess the rumor reached you.

Of course, men would line up for a woman like her.

I think it was more than that.

I heard some people lived with men abroad...

then came back to Korea acting innocent.

I don't know anyone like that.

Why not? Even Eun Kang said so.

- Eun Kang? - When did she say that?

She did. I saw her last time.

She told me without me asking.

Did you date anyone in Italy?

I heard you dated a lot of men.

Why not? Even Eun Kang said so.

(Onduri Real Estate)

(Lease available)

Yes, Nam Soon.

What?

Father fell?

How bad is it?

Surgery?

What do we do?

Okay. I'll send you the money now.

Nam Sik needs money for his lease.

He felt bad so he couldn't ask you.

(Songcho Realty)

(King Castle Realty)

(Ko Mul Sang)

Gosh!

I'm sorry.

It was wrong of me.

Do you even know what you did wrong?

I wasn't myself. I was drunk.

I said things I shouldn't have.

That was definitely wrong of me.

I'm sorry.

So?

Are you coming back home now?

But...

I have a condition.

A condition?

What condition?

(Red Balloon)

I heard you met my mother-in-law.

You didn't mention anything about that, did you?

You're the one who started it.

- What do you think you're doing? - Congratulations.

- He's a swindler! - Stop!

Let's live together just for a month.

Are you threatening me?

Get out!

Do I look like I won't make a peep even if you trample on me?

Do you know? It's too late for you to reject me.

Tell me.

It might be a secret desire...

I've been growing in my heart.
