Original subtitles

You two can't get married.

Why not?

You just can't!

Not yet.

Not yet?

Mom.

I thought

you'd be most thrilled

out of Chae-woon's mom, Ms. Kim, Dad, and you.

Right, Moong?

-Yes. -"Moong"?

I mean, Chae-woon.

Is "Moong" your nickname?

Moong… I see. That's adorable.

Mine is Cutie,

and so is this guy. It's my stuffed animal.

Hi, Cutie.

Is that yours? I saw that at Dad's once.

Look how clean it is. You must've washed it.

Gosh, the couch is exceptionally dirty today.

Go ahead and have your tea before it gets cold.

Sure.

My gosh. You almost had me there.

-Mom, you… -What is it?

That was a joke, right? You did it to tease us.

-What? -You know.

"I'm against this marriage!"

That's what many future mothers-in-law say in Korea.

You must've been dying to say that.

What?

Your love for drama shows is evident.

Chae-woon, this is how humorous my mom is.

You see, I got my sense of humor from my mom.

I can see that.

He's not wrong.

He would've been boring had he taken after his dad.

James… I mean, Mr. Woo is quite funny too.

Who's funny? Woo Jung-hoo?

Well, yes. I did hear

the people at Samgwang Villa found him funny.

Not us though. We'll never see him that way.

I guess you're right.

Let me see.

Gosh, this is good.

You startled me.

See? My mom's totally on our side.

So I've been thinking.

I want to get married as soon as possible, so maybe we can cut the formalities and…

Why are you ignoring what I just said?

I told you, I'm against this marriage.

But you were joking.

We had a good laugh, so let's move on now.

Of course, I'm laughing. It's not like I'd pick a fight with you.

I'm too fond of Chae-woon to do so.

You what?

Then why are you against this marriage?

Are you…

Well, Chae-woon knows it anyway.

By any chance, did getting divorced

give you a negative view on marriage?

That's my own experience.

It'd be tacky of me to see yours in the same way.

Then what…

Could it be because I turned out to be Ms. Kim's daughter

and things haven't been sorted out?

No, of course not.

Jung-won's a good friend of mine,

and I know her well, so that isn't an issue.

I love that you're her daughter.

Speaking of which, how's the family registration going?

Are you her daughter on paper now?

Well, not exactly.

We decided to put that off due to her position at the company.

What?

Her position at the company? My gosh.

Jung-won's being absurd. How…

Gosh, I shouldn't have put it like that. I'm sorry.

We've been friends since we were little, so…

Then why exactly are you against our marriage?

-Do you want to know? -Yes.

You too?

Yes.

Well…

It's not like I'm against you two.

I just need to check something first.

So I want you to wait until then.

What?

What do you need to check?

The thing is…

Just give me some time, Chae-woon.

Have some.

-Try the macaroon. -Okay.

This one tastes good.

I had no idea my mom would be against it.

Are you disappointed?

Yes, a little.

But it's not like she's completely against it.

I know. What's there to check?

Do you think this is about my birth father?

Your mom must know what Park Pil-hong is like.

I guess she does.

But I don't think she'd judge you by things like that.

Maybe this is it.

You said you and Chae-woon's mom went way back.

How do you know her?

Was she your first love?

What? That's nonsense!

-She was, wasn't she? -No.

-Yes, she was. -I said no.

What?

I have a feeling that my dad and your mom

were each other's first love.

What?

Did they date?

I'm not sure about that.

I should ask him about this.

-Let's go. -Well…

Okay.

Jung-hoo. What is going on?

Did you dye your hair?

What do you think? Do I look like James Dean?

I'm not sure.

Jung-hoo, are you seeing someone?

You fool.

That cheeky kid.

He will be surprised when he sees me again.

Those pricey snacks?

What's the purpose of it now?

Buying thousands of them won't matter. It's already over between us.

I'm sure

Min-jae is backbiting me

while enjoying the pricey snacks.

I'm sure the kids are disappointed.

Would they hate me?

No. I need to make sure everything is clear.

Jung-hoo's…

first love.

If you blow this away and make a wish, your wish will come true.

Of course, sometimes, it doesn't work.

I see.

Shall I give you one?

No.

-Give it a go. -Yes.

By the way, why on earth does Min-jae have the red dictionary?

I'm pretty sure Ms. Jung took the dictionary.

Gosh.

Did she want it that badly?

Goodness.

Oh, right. Chae-woon.

I wonder if it went well.

Do you think we should order more of these?

Yes. I think we should.

Okay.

What is most popular among women these days?

This one is selling well lately.

-This one? -Yes.

Okay.

Excuse me.

-Hello, Mom. -Chae-woon.

Did you visit Mr. Woo's mother today?

Yes. I went to see her earlier.

I see. What did she say?

Was she happy to hear about your marriage?

Yes.

Why? Did she not like it?

That can't be right.

Mom, I'll tell you at home.

Okay. You must be busy now. Have a nice day.

Okay. Bye.

Ms. Jung can't be opposing their marriage.

What's the matter?

What is this?

What is this thing?

Dear Mother,

I'm sorry I'm leaving without saying goodbye.

What?

Gosh. Hang on.

My gosh.

Thanks to you,

I could feel the warmth that I'd never had in my life.

Thank you for everything.

Please stay healthy.

Hwang Na-ro.

Gosh, Na-ro…

MOTHER SOON-JUNG

The person you have called is unavailable.

The person you have called…

Why is the boiler on…

-Hwak-se. -Soon-jung.

What? Did Na-ro leave?

I think so.

He just left this.

Gosh.

HWAK-SE

So simply put, are you asking me to intercept this deal?

Yes, that's right.

I could do this on my own,

but I think it'll be done faster with your help.

Wait. Isn't this what Min-jae's son, Woo Jae-hui, is working on?

It is.

Then why?

Jae-hui is

marrying Chae-woon.

What?

Are they engaged already?

Seo-a.

Are you trying to get back at him this way?

Don't ask me anything more, and help me, Grandma.

I'm sure Jae-hui's company is quite small.

It might make

his company go under.

It won't go under that easily. I just want to scare him a little.

He made me shed tears of blood.

Seo-a.

But this is…

You know what?

I was so ashamed that I've kept it from you.

And I'm finally confiding in you.

I felt so wronged that I ended up coming to you.

I know how upset you've been, my princess.

But still, this doesn't feel right.

Your mom won't let it slide if she finds this out.

So what if she does?

You know she cares only about Bit-chae-woon.

Can't you be on my side, Grandma?

Please.

No. I'll sit here.

Are you going to the office?

No. I'm making a stop first.

I heard you left Samgwang Villa.

You can stay here.

It's okay. I have a place to stay.

You don't have to feel bad.

My family used to use this place. And it's vacant right now.

If Ms. Kim finds out,

I'll get on her bad side.

I don't want that to happen.

You don't have to worry about what my mom thinks.

I want to be careful about things I don't have to.

I want her to like me in every way because she's the mother

of the woman I like.

How are things going with Woo Jae-hui's contract?

His people think it's almost a done deal.

What's left is for us to stab him in the back.

Are you really okay with this?

If he loses out on this contract, his company might really go bust.

It should.

I should crush him for good.

I'll make him pay the price

for choosing Bit-chae-woon.

You're acting tough. I know you'll regret it later.

What?

Then promise me one thing.

What is it?

Once you crush Woo Jae-hui,

leave your feelings for him behind.

And accept me.

For real.

Don't be silly,

and do your job.

I'm not being silly.

You know.

I like you, Ms. Jang.

Is it just me?

BN STUDIO APARTMENT CONTRACT REVIEW

To start with,

I want to see if you still have the touch.

If you pull this off,

I'll invest in your business.

This studio apartment deal is soon to be signed off.

Why are you interested in something like this? It's not like you.

You don't need to know why.

Ruin that deal and take over.

Call these people, and they should show interest.

Of course, you'll have to talk them into it.

This isn't anything shady, is it?

I won't do it if it could make Seo-yeon ashamed of me.

Your existence alone is a nuisance to her.

You still don't know that?

What about the retainer?

I'll wire it to you.

Can you do this?

This is just a warm-up.

Don't you change your mind later.

3H MASSAGE BED

Materials? Already?

Yes. We must start as soon as we sign the deal.

You can't order and stock up on supplies already.

We haven't signed the contract yet.

It's better than struggling due to the lack of supplies later.

We had such a hard time because of that once.

Don't you worry.

Okay, then. Take care.

-What did you order already? -My goodness.

Dad, your hair…

Do I look younger?

Yes.

A stranger would ask if you're my older brother.

Come on.

What's this about ordering materials already?

Our supplier.

We might sign a big contract soon, and if we do, we must start right away.

So you're ordering materials in advance?

You've got to look before you leap.

Don't worry. I've got this.

Why are you here anyway?

Your mom objected to your marriage?

Yes. She wouldn't say why,

but I think

it's because of you and Chae-woon's mother's past relationship.

Our past relationship?

You and Chae-woon's mother used to date.

We didn't date.

Our relationship is as clean and pure

as a field of fresh, white snow in Gangwon Province.

Darn you.

Did your mom say that Soon-jung and I dated?

She didn't exactly say so.

What about now? Tell me honestly.

Do you have a bit of interest?

What are you talking about?

My gosh.

I don't have feelings for anyone right now.

Only the freezing wind of Siberia blows in my heart.

Freezing wind?

Do you feel lonely?

Anyway, tell your mom to stop daydreaming

and help you prepare for your marriage.

You can meet her and talk to her about it for me.

Okay? I'm busy. I have to go now.

Jae-hui.

Yes?

Is there anything you need my help with?

Maybe with the large contract.

Don't worry. We're well-prepared.

You and I are in a totally different field.

Don't be silly.

Fields have nothing to do with it when you stumble and fall.

Can't you say things like,

"It'll go well and I wish you luck, son"?

You always leave a bad taste.

I'm just telling you to be careful at all times.

You'll hear nice, uplifting comments from others.

Sure. Bye, Dad.

You should bear what I said in mind!

My silly tongue.

I should've just said, "Do your best."

He'll do well, right?

Dad's terrible.

Mom was right after all.

He's the same to Mom and me.

FOOD TRUCK SYSTEM

Take over a food truck?

Yes, a second-hand one.

A guy I know told me about it.

Call if you're interested.

The owner's selling it urgently, so it's 40-percent cheaper.

Forty percent?

That's really cheap. It's a good deal, isn't it?

It is.

You must decide by tomorrow.

There are lots of competitors because it's so cheap.

By tomorrow?

Okay.

Louder. A bit louder.

Like that.

So are you planning to marry Man-jung or something?

-Sorry? -Keep your mouth open wide.

Okay.

We're done.

By the way, doctor.

Why do you ask me if I'll marry Man-jung?

Because it's unexpected.

Man-jung may not seem like it on the outside,

but she's really ambitious.

There are a few guys hitting on her even now.

Some are younger too.

I see. It's unexpected for me too.

She chose to like me despite all those guys.

Sure.

You can go to the voice clinic now.

-You finished it quickly. -Right?

Quite impressive, isn't it?

Take a look at this. It's a trending procedure though.

Hwak-se, how was the treatment?

Good.

How's his throat these days?

It's getting better.

Really? Thank you, Dr. Kang.

It was tough, wasn't it?

Not at all. It didn't even take long.

Too bad.

I wish I could have a cup of tea with you, but I have patients to see.

It's quite all right.

I have to get back anyway.

Besides, we can have a bucket of tea later at home.

Sure thing.

Hold on.

There. That looks much better.

I must look even better now.

-Don't forget your prescription. -Sure.

I'll get going then. Bye.

See you. Later.

I'm here for my prescription.

The name's Kim Hwak-se.

Thanks.

Look, doctor.

I've been feeling this since my last visit.

Do you have hard feelings towards me?

Yes.

Sorry?

I've been best friends with Man-jung since high school.

I'm well aware that Man-jung is easily blinded by love,

but this is too much.

"This"?

What do you find too much?

I saw it back at our reunion.

All of us were totally dumbfounded.

I get that she was desperate, but how did she end up--

Doctor.

How could you say that when you barely know anything about me?

What?

You probably know much about my throat,

but you don't know

much about me and what made Man-jung like me.

Man-jung referred me to you

because she thinks highly of you,

but you're looking down on me in her absence.

That's just wrong.

You called yourself Man-jung's good friend.

I didn't say much. I just found it baffling--

Why is that?

Because I'm not a doctor like you?

Because I don't have a successful career?

Or because I'm some third-rate singer?

Doctor.

You may be a successful doctor,

but you've never received Man-jung's love.

You don't know how happy it makes you.

It feels like I'm constantly on cloud nine.

I may be a third-rate singer,

but I'm the one Man-jung loves so much.

So don't look down on me anymore.

Getting upset every time I come here

won't help with my treatment.

Well, then. I'll be heading back to cloud nine.

Man-jung.

Is this true?

I didn't say much, but he…

-I… -Man-jung, no.

Come on. Let's just go.

Hold on. I came for a book.

-I see. -Hold on.

Man-jung!

Take that, you jerk.

Hwak-se, I'm sorry.

I had no idea he was treating you like that.

But I beat him.

Did you see him drop his chin earlier?

Yes, I did. You definitely beat him.

You won. I'm proud of you.

Don't worry about me, okay?

I don't get intimidated anymore.

You saw how I beat him.

-Right? -I sure did.

Good job, Hwak-se. I'm proud of you.

You are amazing.

I love you, Jjung.

I love you too. I really do.

Did you see how he dropped his chin

-when I told him off? -Yes.

He got intimidated.

I was close to actually shoving him.

Chae-woon, Na-ro left Samgwang Villa.

Soon-jung's very sad.

-Don't worry. I'll take care of it. -Okay.

Bit-chae-woon,

how are the wedding plans coming along?

We haven't gotten started yet.

But is the marriage still on?

Yes.

Na-ro,

I heard you left Samgwang Villa.

It's what you wanted.

You must be thrilled

now that I'm gone.

My mom's very sad.

Don't be too thrilled though.

Being thrilled too much

always ends up biting you.

Yes, of course.

We'll get to work as soon as we sign the contract.

Don't you worry.

Of course. There's nothing to worry about.

Mr. Lee, hold on.

Sure thing. I'll call you back later. Thank you.

I see that Mr. Woo isn't here.

He's at the site.

I see.

He must be busy.

I came to pick up some of my things I left behind.

-I gathered them for you here. -Really?

This is my favorite item, you see.

Mr. Lee, you look incredible today.

Is that so?

By the way, how are Mr. Woo and his girlfriend doing?

Of course. They will soon get married.

-Really? -Yes.

Of course, ma'am.

I have a great item.

I have an investor too.

Then I'll be there to see you soon.

Chae-woon!

You…

Give that back.

I told you to stay in touch. Why break your promise?

Are you starting a business? Who's this investor?

Jae-hui, give me back my phone.

Then stay in touch.

My phone.

Do you have any idea how upset Chae-woon is?

You said you wanted to be a proud father for her.

So stay in touch and discuss with me before doing anything.

Fine.

We should get together with Chae-woon some time.

Show her that she can trust you.

Not yet.

I will after I'm back on my feet.

And how will you do that?

I told you to discuss everything with me.

Focus on your own work and pull off the deal.

From what I gathered, your business is in the red.

I don't want Seo-yeon to marry a man heavily in debt.

You're going to marry her, right?

-Did Mr. Yoo tell you? -Yes.

That blabbermouth.

Don't worry about me and worry about yourself, sir.

Can't you rather call me "Father" than "sir"?

No way. Not until Chae-woon allows it.

Then…

Take care.

Don't change your phone number! All right?

Or I'll get angry for real.

Look at Pil-hong asserting himself in their lives.

You're ruining your daughter's chance at marriage.

What will you do now?

What if I run into Mom or Seo-a at LX?

I always run into at least one of them there.

Mr. Makjang! Don't just sit there and help me out.

The manager there wanted to see our portfolios.

Once Hae-deun finds out who my mom is, she won't want to work with me.

Mr. Makjang.

-Boo! -What on earth…

What's on your mind?

Hae-deun, I'm afraid you'll have to go to LX alone.

Why?

Well, I have some things to sort out at the office.

What's there to sort out when we have no orders?

Come on. I don't think I can go there alone.

What? Someone as young as you should have confidence.

Be confident, okay?

Keep being this way, and I won't work with you.

Now that I know I'm a gifted stylist, I'll look for work elsewhere. Can I?

-No. -Then get up.

You're unbelievable. Don't ever forget we're in this together.

Are you upset?

Yes, so carry this.

I should. Should I carry the rest too?

Of course. Should I instead?

No, I should.

Okay, fine. Let's just face it head-on.

How can I carry this all though? Hae-deun!

I'm bothering you on a busy day, aren't I?

No way.

I always have time for you, Min-jae.

I'm sure you heard about Chae-woon and Jae-hui.

I did.

I wanted to talk to you regarding that matter anyway.

-Their marriage… -Just so you know,

I told them to take their time with the wedding.

Really?

I thought you'd be most thrilled about this.

Why?

Aren't you fond of my Chae-woon?

She's one of the finest bachelorettes out there.

Goodness. You are indeed Chae-woon's mother.

That's what a mother of a bride would say.

And you sounded like a mother of a groom just now.

I haven't seen you show this cold attitude in a while.

Welcome back, Jung-won.

Of course, I'm fond of Chae-woon.

I even wish she were my daughter.

But…

But what?

There's one thing you must do before they get married.

What's that?

I want her added to your family register.

You too?

My gosh.

Did Soon-jung mention that too?

Then…

Could Soon-jung be picturing a future with Jung-hoo?

I said this to Soon-jung too,

but due to my position at the office,

I can't make it official for the time being.

Why can't you when she's your biological daughter?

Min-jae,

you're not helping by being this way.

I can see that this is giving you a tough time, so I understand.

Let's postpone it until you have her registered.

What does that have to do with them getting married?

I'm sure you know

that Jung-hoo and Soon-jung are each other's first love.

I do. What about it though?

Does that upset you?

Of course not.

I'm hoping for them to get together.

What?

Have they been dating or something like that?

No, of course not. It's just my wish.

I thought it'd be nice for them to be good friends.

But that can't happen if they become in-laws.

Min-jae, you're getting way ahead of yourself.

You know the two are not that kind of people.

Dating isn't reserved for a few selected people.

Neither of them will probably make a move, so I want to nudge them along.

Min-jae, you're overreacting.

I'm sure of it.

Hardly. I'm dead serious right now.

Are you here to party or film a movie?

What's with the sunglasses?

Why is your collar standing?

That's what it's there for. What do you know anyway?

And keep your voice down, will you?

Hae-deun, for this project,

you'll be representing us and I'll only be of support.

Why?

Must you ask?

Because I'm a man running a business.

But this is a freelancing job.

Just please do as I ask.

Jun-a?

I knew it. I knew I'd run into someone I know.

It's Mr. Woo's mother.

Hello, ma'am.

Hae-deun, I see you're here together.

Are you here for work?

Yes, we're here for a job.

I see.

Do you have a sty on your eye? Why are you wearing sunglasses?

Well…

I'm Jae-hui's friend, remember?

So we're pretty close too.

Yes, I know.

I'm sure you heard the news

about Mr. Woo and my sister.

Yes, I heard.

So the whole family knows about their engagement.

Yes. I hope you and my sister get along well.

We're in-laws now.

-In-laws… -In-laws?

Is Jae-hui getting married?

Hae-deun, I think it's too early to say that we're in-laws yet.

Gosh. How old-fashioned of me.

-I'll let you get back to work. -I'll see you around, ma'am.

Ma'am?

Ma'am, goodbye.

-Bye. -Seriously?

I'm sorry.

-You… -Take care.

-Sure thing. -Have a good day.

Is Jae-hui really getting married?

Yes, they already exchanged rings.

My poor sister.

What about your sister?

What? You had to hear that, didn't you?

My sister's at an age where she should get married too.

Can we please not stand in the middle of the hallway?

I actually don't mind it.

Why do you not mind it?

Here's the evaluation on the Design Team interns.

We should shortly announce those to promote.

Kim Dae-won and Lee Bit-chae-woon

have the same score?

Yes, it's hard to say who did a better job.

I'd like you to decide on whom we should promote.

Bit-chae-woon was the winner of the design contest,

and I remember her being ahead of Kim Dae-won in the internship performance.

She was until the mid-internship.

But Kim Dae-won started to stand out in many ways lately.

And Bit-chae-woon's mistake during the styling class

is reflected in her performance review.

Okay. I will review it.

You know there are still rumors out there

about Chae-woon, right?

And Mr. Jang keeps an eye on them.

All right, then.

Director Jang.

Yes.

Why are you trying to make me choose

between them?

I think you know.

I want you

to stay as a cool, level-headed CEO.

What you are going to do is

to coordinate our online content and photograph it.

It's not much different from what you've done.

-Okay. We will do our best. -I'll look forward to it.

By the way, who is he?

Well, he is very shy.

You should say hello.

Hello.

Right. So you are Stylist Lee Hae-deun.

-And he is… -He is our CEO.

-His name is Jang… -Hey.

I'm Jang Valjean.

-Pardon? -Jang Valjean.

He lived abroad for a long time.

-His name is Mark Jang. -I see.

I brought some samples.

Thank you.

Chae-woon.

Hae-deun.

What? Is she Bit-chae-woon?

Are you Chae-woon's younger sister?

Yes.

Chae-woon, did you not know?

Are you the one who's joining the PR team?

Me and my boss.

I was impressed by their online shopping mall, so I contacted them.

Why did you not tell me?

I was a little shy and didn't want to cause you any trouble.

What are you talking about? This is great.

Right. You two haven't met.

He's my boss and Mr. Woo's friend.

She's my sister. Say hi.

Jae-hui's friend? Is he Jun-a?

Hello.

-Mr. Woo's friend. -I see.

Thank you.

Please.

-So we finally met. -I know.

Nice to meet you. I'm Jang Jun-a.

I went to see my mom the other day, but you weren't there.

You moved back in with your old family.

Right.

Because there was a situation.

I guess you had hard times because of Seo-a.

So no one knows that you're Ms. Kim's son?

Right. No one knows. Even Hae-deun doesn't know.

She'd feel uncomfortable around me.

And Hae-deun doesn't seem to like my mom.

I heard you studied in London.

London? Right.

The thing is,

I didn't think I was cut out for running this company,

and I didn't want to work here, so I just left.

But this is where I ended up.

I've always been interested in styling.

So I want to give this a shot with Hae-deun.

And once this contract ends, I'll go back to what I did.

I see.

Then I won't tell Ms. Kim about this for now.

And other employees.

Okay. Thank you.

Jun-a, just tell them later

when you're ready.

Okay. I will.

"Jun-a"?

What's there to talk about when they just met today?

I'm curious.

Yes.

Come on in.

Did you want to see me?

You must be busy.

Yes, with the new product development.

I appreciate your hard work. Sit. Let's have some tea.

Okay.

I've got the intern performance evaluation results.

I see.

Is it okay to tell me about it first?

I'm afraid

I should ask for your understanding.

Unfortunately, Kim Dae-won and you

got the same scores.

The same scores?

But I thought I would get a higher score.

So,

as the CEO of this company, I'm to choose between you two.

And you said

you should ask for my understanding.

Because I'm your daughter?

Because the directors are watching us with suspicion,

and your position is being vulnerable now?

Seo-yeon.

Do I have to give up on this many things to be your daughter?

But this has nothing to do with that.

I didn't join the company thanks to you.

I joined the company after winning the contest on my fourth attempt.

And Seo-a canceled my winning, so I had to go through a lot.

And now,

you're asking me to accept another unfair decision?

Seo-yeon. Instead,

I can send you abroad to study.

I can get you anything you want.

When you come back, I'll make sure

you will work here as my daughter.

But can you

give me some time until then?

No.

I don't want anything like that.

I just want to be recognized for my skills and competence.

Officially, I'm not your daughter anyway.

And I can't be your daughter for the time being.

But at work too? I can't.

It's not something I can yield. I can't do this.

Seo-yeon.

Still, you are my daughter.

You know how things are going here.

That's why I'm asking you to understand even though it's shameless.

Then what's there I can do as your daughter?

What is it that I can do because I'm your daughter?

Maybe it would be better not to live as your daughter.

I'd rather give up on being your daughter and go back to the way I was.

I want to be recognized for my work as Lee Bit-chae-woon

and get what I deserve.

I had been looking forward to meeting my birth mother.

But I guess I was better off before.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

No.

You're right about that.

I think I only cared

about my position.

I'm sorry, Seo-yeon.

Don't be.

You are right.

Please do as you wish.

But I will quit my job here.

Even if I have to work at a smaller company,

I want to work at a place where I can be recognized for my work.

No, Seo-yeon. Don't do that.

-Don't be like that. -I'm sorry.

Seo-yeon.

THE TASTIEST PORK TROTTERS

It is very good

It is very, very good

-Hwak-se. -Hey, James.

Hey, your hair. My gosh.

-What do you think? -It suits you so well.

People would believe we're friends.

Don't be silly.

It's good to see you, buddy.

Are you allowed to sing now? Your throat isn't too good.

I did have some issues,

but it got better with treatment.

James, this is a secret,

but I'm entering this competition on the radio.

That's just great.

It's much easier to make progress if you have a clear goal.

You'll do really well.

Thanks so much, James. Thank you.

Hello, Min-jae.

Hello.

What happened to your hair?

How is it?

Who do you want to impress by dying your hair?

What?

James wanted to look around my age,

and that's why he dyed his hair. Right, James?

What brings you here anyway?

Are you here to see James?

No, to see Soon-jung.

Soon-jung?

You're going to be Bit-chae-woon's mother-in-law soon.

What?

James, you'll be her father-in-law.

Is that so?

Yes, of course. Please be nice to Chae-woon for us.

I will, Hwak-se.

Why all the fuss when nothing's been decided?

Pardon?

Never mind.

Ms. Jung, can we have a word?

I have something to take care of first. So later.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye, Min-jae.

James.

I get the feeling that your ex-wife isn't

too pleased about Chae-woon and Jae-hui getting married.

I'm not sure.

You don't like ginger tea, so I brought some sikhye.

Thank you.

You heard that Bit-chae-woon and Jae-hui

had come to see me, didn't you?

Yes.

I was curious about it, so I asked Chae-woon earlier.

Then I guess you also heard

that I didn't approve of it.

Pardon?

You didn't?

No, she didn't tell me about that.

Then are you against it?

No, it's not that.

I want to put off making any decisions.

But why?

The thing is…

Because of you and Jung-hoo.

What?

Well,

to tell the truth, I hope you and Jung-hoo

build a nice relationship.

But that's…

That's just nonsense.

I'm not saying you two should get married or anything.

I just hope you can be good friends.

I mean, you were each other's first love.

Well, that's a serious misunderstanding on your part.

Yes, Mr. Woo is a great person,

and he did comfort me when I had a rough time.

But I don't think it should

get in the way of the kids' marriage.

For now, I want to leave the options open

so that you guys can become good friends who rely on each other,

not awkward in-laws.

Until Chae-woon is put on Jung-won's family register as her daughter,

I'd like to put off their marriage.

But…

I'm so flustered right now.

I don't know what to say.

Soon-jung, I know

just how much

you liked each other many years ago.

Gosh.

I also know that I split you up out of jealousy.

I forced Jung-hoo to marry me,

and our married life wasn't that great.

So we ended up getting divorced.

There were times when I blamed Jung-hoo,

but the truth is, I feel bad for him.

If he married the woman he really loved,

he wouldn't have been so grumpy and mean.

My gosh.

You got it all wrong. Really.

Mr. Woo did like you.

I know that much.

No.

And

I brought this back.

You knew I took it, didn't you?

Yes.

This is what I'm like.

Even at my age, I still get so jealous.

The fact that you still feel jealous means

you have good feelings left towards Mr. Woo.

My gosh, no. No way.

What else should I call it?

It's just about the feelings I used to have.

It's not like that.

I'm so sorry I took it without telling you.

KOREAN DICTIONARY

KOREAN DICTIONARY

"Jealousy."

"The feeling of resentment when the person you like

has feelings for someone else."

Ms. Jung?

Jung-hoo gave you that dictionary, didn't he?

Ms. Jung.

I'll buy you a better one.

Give that to me.

It's fine. This is good enough for me.

Then I'll give you money.

Twice the price? Thrice?

Then let me see it. I'll take a look and give it back.

I have to go and buy groceries.

Just for a moment. I want a look at it.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jung.

Lee Soon-jung! I want to take a quick look!

Hey! Darn it.

My gosh. Ms. Jung is so silly.

This is terrible.

Where did she get that idea?

Let me see.

Goodbye. Come again.

Ms. Lee.

Mr. Woo, you look amazing.

You look like a young man.

Thank you.

What brings you here? Do come in.

That's just nonsense.

How embarrassing.

Ms. Jung is still so cute.

She's not cute. She's immature.

Still,

I think only you can resolve this misunderstanding.

I don't know how to bring it up to her.

Can't you just tell her the truth?

That you still have feelings for her.

That's not true.

Min-jae and I already

ended our relationship.

Min-jae should

seek out her own happiness now.

Why not

find happiness together once again as a couple?

That's what I felt

from you both.

You still have feelings for one another.

Mr. Woo, muster up the courage.

That's the advice you once gave me, remember?

It's your turn, this time.

Right. I'll try to talk it out with her.

I can't believe it though.

Seeing us as a potential couple?

How silly of her.

Tell me about it.

Who's this?

Who's being this affectionate?

I'm sorry for showing my affection.

You must know Mr. Yoo isn't here.

Where is Mr. Yoo? I thought you'd be busy with the D-day being tomorrow.

He went to the storage to check on our supplies.

He'll be back later.

Let me help then.

Something's up, isn't it?

What?

Your eyebrows

tell me that you're upset.

Observant, aren't you?

Is it because my mom is against our marriage?

I'm thinking of leaving LX.

What?

You won't receive the full-time job?

I was so upset that I took it out on Ms. Kim.

Now I feel terrible.

Of course, you're upset. Even I'm angry about the way you were treated.

I regret it though.

But

do you really want to quit? You worked hard to get in.

You're right.

Working there was my dream.

If you really end up leaving the company, what's your plan?

I'll work part-time at construction sites and find another job at a design company.

Well, I don't think

leaving LX is what you really want.

It will be like running away.

I know you're treated unfairly because you're Ms. Kim's daughter,

but why not hang in there a little more?

"Let's see who gets the last laugh!"

With that mindset.

-I should hold out? -Yes.

If you're talented enough, you'll be recognized someday

despite all the obstacles thrown your way.

From what I can tell, you're that kind of person.

Also, why let all your hard work go to waste?

Endure the unfairness.

Fight against it.

And never lose.

That's the spirit.

My Seo-yeon's getting married?

Then I'll make her proud at her wedding.

SAETBYUL BANK

HWANG NA-RO SENT YOU 50 MILLION WON

In Hwang Na-ro's name?

CHAIRWOMAN LEE CHUN-SEOK

Yes, Ms. Lee.

I just sent you the retainer.

From now on, small money transactions will be made through Mr. Hwang.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. I'll do my best.

She'll use Hwang Na-ro's name as if she has nothing to do with it?

Hwang Na-ro, that reckless punk.

Soon-jung

must've been flustered,

but I'm sure she'll understand one day.

Look at you doing what you can to wish your ex-husband a happy future.

How cool of you.

Why do I feel so empty though?

Freezing wind is blowing in my heart.

Is it because I returned the red dictionary?

Ms. Min-jae, hi.

Are those dumplings?

Ba-wi and I made dumplings, then I suddenly thought of you.

-Do you like them? -Yes, of course.

They look pretty as well. Do you make dumplings yourself?

Yes, I actually love to cook.

I see.

My gosh. How sweet of him.

Would you like to come in?

No, that's all right.

These are best when warm, so please try one.

Why not?

My gosh. This is amazing.

How can it be this savory?

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

If there's anything you want, I'll make it for you.

I'm not sure.

Go ahead. I can cook practically anything.

Then, tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki?

I'm a master at that, you know.

What else?

Oyster salad.

Oyster salad. That's my specialty.

With organic water parsley.

That's how it should be done. It sounds delicious.

Ms. Min-jae?

-Min-jae! -Are you all right?

Ms. Min-jae!

Min-jae!

Min-jae?

Min-jae!

Are you Mr. Ko from PH Food?

That's right.

Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you.

-The menu I thought of… -Stop.

Man-jung…

Why were you both in there?

-Soon-jung. -I…

-We're dating. -What?

Then have your real daughter live with you. I'll move out.

Seo-a.

Or you can move out yourself.

Seo-a?

I had no idea

I was constantly

giving her pain.

I'm sorry, Mr. Woo.

We decided to work with another subcontractor.

-Mr. Woo! -I heard the deal fell through.

What about the overdue payment?
