Original subtitles

-Are… -Are you all right?

Shouldn't you go see a doctor?

Maybe I should call my doctor friend. He lives across from us.

I'm fine now.

I easily get startled, and that often leads me to choke on food.

Especially because of someone.

Me?

It's my fault for bringing over dumplings.

Did you bring these dumplings?

-Yes. -No wonder she choked on it.

She doesn't like dumplings.

What do you mean? I love them.

You do?

See? He doesn't even know what his wife likes.

Still, to be on the safe side, I'll call my friend.

Hello? Hey, it's me. Can you talk for a minute?

I have something to ask.

What should one do after choking on food?

Right. She doesn't have any other symptoms, but…

Ms. Auntie, it's me.

Is this a good time?

Hey, James. What a surprise.

Should someone head to the ER after choking on food, doctor?

Who choked on food?

An old friend.

Is that person all right now?

I see. That's a relief.

Sipping warm water and resting will do the trick.

Of course.

Jjung!

THE TASTIEST PORK TROTTERS

Call me right away if you see any other symptoms.

Sure.

Who was that?

-James. -What?

An old friend of his choked on some food.

-An old friend? -Yes.

-Who could it be? -Beats me.

Thanks.

Ms. Min-jae, according to my friend,

it's good that you're breathing properly.

You should sip warm water

and get some rest. That's what Man-jung said.

I can't believe you called Man-jung.

-Who could that be? -Stop.

Let me get that.

Hello, Gramps…

No way.

Hello, sir.

Hello, young fellow.

Kid, you see me properly now.

And you don't have to call me sir.

Just call me uncle.

Uncle James.

Okay.

Ba-wi, come on in.

This kid is here to see his dad.

Were you looking for your dad?

Ba-wi, are you here to see me?

My friend told me to call him if you show any symptoms in 30 minutes.

And he will come right away.

Thank you.

You are very sweet.

My dad is always sweet.

I heard he used to be very popular among girls.

Is that right, Dad?

My goodness.

Is that so?

I can imagine.

-Why? -Gramps… I mean, sir.

I mean, Uncle James.

Yes?

Is that a wig?

Ba-wi.

I dyed my hair because of you.

Jung-hoo looks nice with the new hair.

Why are you here, by the way?

I heard you met Soon-jung.

Did Soon-jung come running to you and told you about it?

No, she didn't. I heard it from Jae-hui too.

He said it was ridiculous.

Gosh, why is it so salty?

Is it salty? I liked it though.

Man-jung said you shouldn't eat yet.

Anyway, it's just ridiculous.

You opposed their marriage because of me and Soon-jung?

No. It's not that I opposed their marriage.

I just told them to put off the wedding

until Jung-won adds Chae-woon to her family register.

Even if Chae-woon is on Jung-won's family register,

she's still Soon-jung's daughter.

How could you imagine such nonsense about your future in-law?

I did it for your future.

People live for 100 years now.

You still have a lot of years to live.

Will you grow old alone like that?

What about you? You're growing old alone too.

-I see. -What?

This is why you did such a thing.

You feel bad that you are moving on alone.

So you want to set me up with someone.

You are totally mistaken.

You don't understand my true intention.

What true intention? It's just a delusion.

Delusion?

Your first love showed up before your eyes.

And she's single.

If you had married your first love,

you wouldn't have lived like stubborn Scrooge.

I forced you to marry me when you didn't want to.

That's how the whole tragedy started.

Am I wrong?

Fine. You might be right.

Because of my temper,

I gave you hard times unlike your sheltered childhood.

I grilled you and made you have indigestion.

I didn't know you'd admit it.

So I did it for your fresh start

out of pure friendship.

I see.

Thank you.

I'll be the first one to make a fresh start.

You can move on

and go out with the handsome tall guy next door.

Why do you keep dragging Professor Son in this?

Look who's talking.

You keep dragging Soon-jung in this.

Anyway.

Whatever we do for our fresh start, we should marry Jae-hui off first.

I'll get going then.

How are you feeling now?

I'm fine now.

Good.

Wait.

You know I'm seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow.

I was told to come with you.

Can you come?

I don't know.

Now that we're moving on with our lives,

I don't see why we should get psychotherapy together.

You're right. Goodbye.

I was only trying to help him make a fresh start, so why would he be upset?

Gosh.

When did he finish all the dumplings?

He doesn't even like dumplings.

Is it like when I ate up all the egg bread

Soon-jung made?

It's going really fast with your help.

This is a lot of work.

I hope this will go well so you can pay off your debt.

You're still in debt after moving out of your studio.

Right. I'm working hard to pay it off.

Mr. Yoo told me that you lost out on money

because you cut your accounts some slack.

I couldn't turn away from them.

Anyway, I sold my house and moved into Samgwang Villa.

That's how I met you. I'm so lucky.

I guess you're right.

I should make a lot of money and have our own house.

A small and pretty house.

I can't wait for the day to come. But what does my mom want us to wait for?

I guess she has some plans for your dad.

I thought about it at work earlier today.

What would I do if I were her?

And that's what crossed my mind.

My mom is really unique.

-Want some coffee? -Good.

I'll make it decaf.

Enjoy the aroma first.

Like this.

Did you hear from Park Pil-hong?

Actually, I ran into him earlier today.

He came to pack his stuff.

You should've called me.

I got his number.

And he promised he would stay in touch.

Give me his number.

I need to see him. Give me his number.

Moong. Why don't you give him some time?

He says he wants to be a good father to you.

Do you believe him?

I don't. I can never trust him.

If he was reliable, he wouldn't have lied to us in the first place.

Still, I want to trust him.

Don't be too hard on him.

Let's wait and see what he does.

What if he causes another trouble?

Let's just trust him for now.

He's your father.

Let's do that, okay?

AUNTIE MAN-JUNG

Your phone is ringing off the hook.

Is it Ms. Man-jung this time?

They must be gathered together now.

I guess Ms. Auntie is calling me against her will.

It sounds like

you didn't get along with her.

I got along with everyone.

Except for Jae-hui.

What about Chae-woon? Was everything good?

It was neither good nor bad.

About Bit-chae-woon's employment.

Is it decided that she failed?

Yes.

She will leave the company soon.

I know her. There's no way she would stay.

She must be frustrated.

She isn't recognized for her work.

She isn't recognized as my mom's daughter.

I'm glad that everything is going as planned.

Are you really happy?

What?

To me, you don't seem so happy.

Then what?

You seem hollow.

I mean, Seo-a,

I don't think hating and hurting others

is your thing.

"Seo-a"?

Now you're

crossing the line.

If you received warm love,

you would have a bright,

warm,

and happy life.

Until you become like that,

I'll love you lots.

Min-jae.

Min-jae!

Is she okay now?

My goodness.

MR. WOO JUNG-HOO

Gosh, honestly.

We're strangers now. Be nice.

Hello?

She sounds fine.

What's that about?

WIFE

She's definitely okay.

WIFE

What on earth…

Ms. Jung still has feelings for Mr. Woo.

How should I make her realize his true feelings?

That's it.

DIARY

DIARY LEE SOON-JUNG

LEE SOON-JUNG

Is Chae-woon home?

Chae-woon, you're late. My gosh.

I helped Jae-hui at work.

Okay. Isn't it cold?

Where's he?

He'll spend the night at work.

He has a really important deal tomorrow.

It must be tough for him.

Earlier today, his mother was here.

Was she?

Doesn't she disapprove of our marriage?

No, it's not that she disapproves.

She wants to think about it for some other reason.

Then it's about…

What?

What do you mean?

Jae-hui told me about you and James today.

My gosh, Chae-woon. No way. No, it's not like that.

It's really not?

It's really not. Not at all.

Mom, it looks like it's something.

What is wrong with you?

I'm planning to meet with Ms. Kim

and discuss the preparations for your wedding.

Would that work?

Yes.

Wash your hands. I'll get dinner ready.

-Okay. -Okay?

-The business location… -I recommend pink.

-Okay. -It might not be enough.

So let's ask if we could…

-Red's nice too. -Will you stop?

You have a license, right?

A license?

What license do I need?

What license?

-What's going on? -I think…

What is this unfamiliar sight?

-You're home. -Hello.

Hi.

Hae-deun, did you manage okay?

Yes. I work with the Online Business Team starting tomorrow.

When I heard she was scouted by your company,

I was so shocked.

I was shocked too.

I wasn't scouted. It's just a temporary position.

Hey, things might change down the line.

Congratulations, little sis.

-Congratulations. -It's great.

-Thanks. -Congrats.

What are you looking at?

Ra-hun's thinking of buying a used food truck.

Aren't used ones expensive as well?

It's from an acquaintance of our boss' acquaintance.

It's 40 percent cheaper.

Forty percent?

That's the one.

It's a snack food franchise.

Based on this alone, it looks like a good deal.

Right, Chae-woon? I think so too.

We're meeting someone from the franchise tomorrow.

-Just you two? -Yes.

So I talked about it with Ba-reun.

If you have the time and if you're okay with it,

can you come with us tomorrow?

It's too big a deal for us to make the call.

But Chae-woon's busy.

Yes, right? I was just wondering.

However busy I am, I must come along. It's important.

What? For real?

-Chae-woon. -Thanks so much.

-Thank you. -Did you tell Mom?

I'll tell her tomorrow morning.

Lee Ra-hun's becoming a CEO at last.

Call me that now.

Good for you, Ra-hun.

It has to work out, though.

If Chae-woon's helping, I'm sure it'll work out.

Right. And we must work hard.

-Let's do this. -Treat us, future CEO.

-Name whatever you want. -A purse.

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

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

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

You're late, Ms. Jang.

Yes. Good work today.

Seo-a, you're late.

Mom.

Your daughter's home.

Did you have a drink again?

Just a little to lift my mood.

Good night.

Did you drink with Hwang Na-ro?

Yes.

Seo-a.

I really don't like how you hang out and drink with Hwang Na-ro.

Is there anything that you like about me?

Are you really trying to date him?

Please don't do that, Seo-a.

Why can't I date Na-ro?

Because of his background?

It's not about his background. It's about his character.

What's wrong with his character?

What do you know about him?

Isn't it enough that he likes me and cares for me?

I can neither date Jae-hui nor Na-ro.

Why are you doing this to me?

Because it seems you're doing this to get back at Jae-hui.

You're being irrational.

That's not true.

I like Hwang Na-ro.

What?

It's not that you don't like him.

You don't trust whatever I do.

If Bit-chae-woon liked Na-ro,

you'd react differently.

Seo-a.

If you disapprove of me so much,

live with your biological daughter.

I'll move out.

Or you move out.

How could you say that?

Don't you know how much I gave up?

I announced Chae-woon was not my daughter

and made her move out. You saw all that.

So how could you say this to me?

Exactly.

Exactly.

Move it with your real daughter and live happily with her.

SAMGWANG VILLA

It feels so strange.

What does?

Na-ro didn't eat with us often,

but now that he left,

I feel empty.

Right, Hwak-se?

I wonder if he even gets three meals a day.

I'm sure he does. Don't worry.

Is the basement room empty, then?

-Yes. -Hang on.

If it's empty, Cha Ba-reun, you can move there.

-That would work. -It would.

Can't I stay being your roommate?

Why?

You grew on me.

What?

Don't let me grow on you. Just don't.

We can't let her move into the basement room.

If she moves in there,

she'll meet with Ra-hun in secret.

Right.

-No way. -No way.

Hey. A strong denial is a bit suspicious.

No! That's not the case.

My gosh, the meat!

Soon-jung, meat for breakfast?

-What a delight. -Right?

Meat for breakfast!

-Enjoy it, then. -Meat for breakfast?

You too, Mr. Woo.

Yes, Mother.

Just a second.

Woo.

Is that wasabi?

My gosh. I love the bitter and spicy taste.

-Doesn't it taste clean? -Yes.

Right?

It's a tip I learned while working.

-Uncle Hwak-se! -Yes?

Here.

-Thanks, Hae-deun. -No, don't.

-No way. -Okay, here you go.

-No! -Have one first.

Right, thanks.

Gosh, it's spicy.

I meant to give it to Hwak-se, but you ate it. Don't blame me.

Did you play a prank?

Mr. Woo, you have an important deal coming up, right?

Yes, I do.

I'm sure it'll go well. Your hard work will pay off.

Thank you.

It's an important day for everyone then, including Ra-hun.

Why Ra-hun too?

I decided to take over a used food truck at a 40 percent discount.

-My gosh. -Really?

Ra-hun, that's great news.

I'm happy for you.

I'll be accompanying him today.

He's meeting with the manager in charge.

-Really? -I see.

It'll be great if you accompany him.

Ra-hun, are you a food truck CEO now?

-Yes. -I should get on your good side.

My Ba-reun…

I mean, Ba-reun and I will be partners.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations, CEO Lee.

-You too, CEO Cha. -Congrats.

Ra-hun, congrats. You too, Ba-reun.

Thank you. We'll do our best.

Good.

Chae-woon, shouldn't your permanent position be announced soon?

Right, but don't get your hopes up.

The other intern is just as good at his job.

As if that's an issue. He wouldn't be as good as you.

-Right. -If you don't get it this time…

Chae-woon, I'm sure you'll get the job, so don't you worry.

Soon-jung, shouldn't you blow

one of your lucky petals on a day like this?

Well, you see…

Did you run out of them?

That's not it.

The petals don't seem to be that effective anyway.

It didn't work with Chae-woon's design contest.

But it worked out in the end.

Hwak-se, let's do something else instead.

She's right. The petals have lost their touch.

The power in them died a long time ago.

You've waited long enough, guys.

Then let's go with my chant, "Samgwang, Samgwang, let's go."

-Shall we? -Gather around.

-All right. -Here we go.

Let's say it together.

Mr. Woo, I hope you get that important deal. Good luck.

Ra-hun, I hope everything goes well with the food truck.

And let's wish Chae-woon luck at her job.

Here's to a good year for all of us!

-All right. -Nice!

Here we go then.

-Samgwang, Samgwang, let's go. -Samgwang, let's go!

-Hello. -Hi.

-Good morning. -Hi.

-Hello. -Hi.

UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK AND GOOD JUDGMENT

DESIGN TEAM, LEE BIT-CHAE-WOON

Okay.

I can't let Seo-yeon

be discriminated anymore.

If I don't get the permanent position,

there must be something fishy going on.

Why would you think so? You might not have a better score.

No.

I checked. Chae-woon and I have similar scores.

That's because you were in charge of some important projects recently.

Director Jang gave you a lot of chances to shine.

Still. You're aware of that rumor still circulating.

That Bit-chae-woon is Ms. Kim's biological daughter?

They said it's not true.

Actually, I find it rather suspicious.

Ms. Jang and Bit-chae-woon not getting along

might be because of that.

Because of their sibling rivalry?

That could be the reason.

MOM

Bit-chae-woon, good morning.

Are you going to quit immediately?

I mean, if you don't get made a permanent employee.

I think it'd be shameless

to keep working here after being denied promotion.

Thank you for your concern, Ms. Jang.

She's still on that high horse of hers.

I went over all the performance reviews.

It's true that you are more competent than Kim Dae-won.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

So,

I'm going to choose you.

I called you over today

to apologize for yesterday.

No, let me apologize.

I regretted it.

But if you choose me,

you'll have to face countless rumors once again.

Of course.

None of that will matter if you prove to everyone

that you are the right person for the job.

I may have a better score on the individual assessments,

but Kim Dae-won

will have a better overall score.

The scoring system was designed to value the second half.

I thought hard about this,

and you shouldn't pick me.

Even if you do, I'll decline.

Then like you said yesterday,

you'll quit your job and leave LX?

I won't leave.

I'll start again from the bottom

and work my way to the top while continuing my studies.

Seo-yeon, if that's what you want,

why not just choose to study abroad?

Studying abroad is something I wish to accomplish,

but not right now.

I still have a lot to learn in the field,

and I want to get married first.

My gosh. The promotion was announced.

Congratulations.

See? Dae-won, I knew you'd get it.

-Thank you. -Congratulations.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Congratulations, Dae-won. I'm happy for you.

Thank you, Bit-chae-woon.

And I'm sorry.

Sorry for what? Congratulations.

-Drinks should be on you. -Sure.

-I knew you'd get the promotion. -Thank you.

If you wish to stay on board as a temp, you will be given different kinds of work.

Tougher work. Will you be okay with that?

Let me help.

I'm good.

When will Mr. Makjang get here?

Hello? Mr. Makjang? Where on earth are you?

I'm too sick to be there today.

Liar. You're just trying to stay away from LX.

I'm not lying. I'm sick.

The office is too cold.

My gosh. It's freezing in here.

Mr. Makjang!

Mr. Makjang? Mr. Makjang!

It's so cold.

Why is the heater off?

Is the boiler not on?

It got shut off because I couldn't pay for utilities.

What?

Why is this off too?

That's broken.

For how long haven't you been able to pay? You were never late with my salary.

Well…

That's how it got shut off.

You need to see a doctor.

No, keep the blanket on me.

You have to see a doctor!

-I need the blanket. -Get up already.

You're pretty.

Do you have a headache?

No. That came out wrong.

You're not pretty at all. Give me my blanket back.

I see you're really sick.

You're not pretty.

He just has a bad cold.

Thank goodness.

Why is it so cold in here? No wonder he caught a cold.

Thank you for coming, Ms. Auntie.

Right.

Okay, let's get going.

-Where? -Go where?

Someplace warmer. It's dangerous to be somewhere so cold.

Where do you live?

I can't let you know.

Apparently, he lives in the countryside.

I see. He seems like a city boy though.

-Ms. Auntie. -Yes?

I'm too dizzy to get up right now.

Right. Being dizzy will do that to you.

I guess we have no choice. I'll carry him to the taxi.

Hae-deun, grab his feet. On three.

-You'll carry him? -Yes, I'll try.

-No… -On three.

-This isn't right. -I can do it.

-This is wrong. -Take his legs.

-One, two, three. -What…

My gosh. I'm so sorry.

My goodness. Mr. Makjang!

-Help… -Just a second.

-You don't look sorry at all. -Gosh.

-Gosh. -My gosh.

What? Listen, you punk.

Small businesses aren't for someone of my capacity.

Just lend me a hand as a favor then.

You're the best swindler I know.

I'll make your time worthwhile.

How much?

Must you be such a scrooge?

Koala, are you on your way to close the deal?

Yes, I'm about to head inside.

I called to wish you good luck.

Thanks. Did you and Ra-hun meet the food truck guy?

I'm on my way right now.

I wish I could go with you.

It's all right. You can come next time.

Anyway, good luck.

I might not be able to call you.

I have to give a lot of briefings.

Got it. Let's eat something nice for dinner then.

Sounds good.

Moong, I love you.

I love you too, Koala.

I'm nervous, Ra-hun.

Don't be.

You couldn't be stiffer.

What? Me?

Don't be ridiculous. I can't believe you.

How adorable.

Don't be nervous.

I'm not nervous.

-Let's take a photo. -A photo?

This marks the first day of us as CEOs.

All right.

Goodness.

Excuse me.

Are you Mr. Ko from PH Food?

Yes, that's me.

-Hello, it's a pleasure to see you. -Hello.

It's good to see you.

Same here.

We should sit down first.

Right.

We went over the brochure about a thousand times

and came up with some questions to ask.

-So for the food truck menu… -Stop.

Don't do this.

Sorry?

This isn't a good deal, so back out.

Why's that? The deal seems solid enough.

The food is provided by a trusted vendor too.

No, this is a scam.

So walk away and find yourself another deal.

Mr. Ko, aren't you with the company?

I'm sorry.

Well, then.

Guys, sorry I'm late.

-Chae-woon. -Hello…

-Mr. Park Pil-hong? -I'm sorry.

Mr. Park!

-Chae-woon! -Chae-woon?

Mr. Park, wait!

-Don't follow me! -Mr. Park!

You'll trip.

I want to talk!

Seo-yeon!

You were about to scam my little brother.

The food truck and that company.

It's all a lie.

I didn't know he was your brother at first.

A friend of mine asked for my help, so I took the job as a part-time gig.

After seeing that it was your brother, I told him to back out.

What if he weren't my brother?

Would you have gone through with the scam?

Why are you doing such things?

Do you have any idea how excited my brother was?

That money…

He worked so hard to save up the money.

So I told him to walk away.

But you wouldn't have if he weren't my brother.

You've been stealing

hard-earned money off people.

I'm not the one who takes that money though.

My job today was just to convince them.

I'm well-known for being a smooth talker.

Mr. Park!

Has this been your life?

Is it how you made my mom miserable and ended up in prison?

Why?

Just why?

Why did you have to show up

after all these years and let me know how pathetic you are?

Seo-yeon, I'm sorry.

I have plans, you know.

My life is full of regrets, but I've been repenting.

I want to get back on my feet and be a proud father…

Enough.

Please get out of my life.

I don't need a father.

I don't have one, you see.

So,

disappear to a place where I can't find you.

Please.

I'm begging you.

Seo-yeon.

The misunderstanding between us runs so deep.

Fine, Seo-yeon.

I will never let you see my pathetic side again.

I have an important appointment.

I should get going.

Where…

Where are you going?

Don't tell me that you're going to pull some fraud.

Make sure to apply ointment on your knee, okay?

My goodness.

Goodness.

Don't cause any more trouble.

Park Pil-hong!

-Chae-woon. -Chae-woon.

What happened?

Well…

Who is the guy?

Is he a con artist?

Chae-woon, did you get hurt?

My goodness.

Maybe Jung-hoo isn't coming.

Min-jae.

I told you to come ten minutes early.

I'm sorry. I was stuck in traffic.

You trip often. Why did you run?

Let's go in.

Gosh.

I didn't know they had a room like this.

Will you be careful?

Welcome.

This room is different, right?

I know.

I only met you in your office.

I just want to have a talk with you today.

Well, I don't have much time now.

It won't take long. Did you bring something that you're attached to?

Yes.

This.

It's cute.

What about you, Jung-hoo?

Yes.

This is…

Good. Who wants to go first?

You go first. You said you're busy.

Okay then.

Min-jae, fill in the questionnaire in the next room.

Okay.

You look good in that shirt.

I've never been in this room before.

Please take your time and fill in the questionnaire.

Okay.

Wait. I did this before…

Jung-hoo, when was the happiest moment of your life?

I don't know.

I bet it's when he made a lot of money.

When he saw sales increase.

Or when he paid off his debt?

When he went to the movies with his first love, Soon-jung?

When my wife had Jae-hui…

I mean, when she gave birth to our son.

Because Mother and Father were happy that we got a son.

My wife was in labor for more than 18 hours.

But I wasn't there for her.

Because of work.

I couldn't even concentrate on my work,

but I couldn't leave because I was in charge.

I was afraid something would happen to her.

It felt like all my blood was drying up.

After working until dawn, I came running to the hospital.

My wife wasn't in the delivery room.

I thought something happened to her.

I was terrified.

However,

when I went to a patient's room,

she was eating…

a big bowl of seaweed soup with a bright smile.

I was really happy at that moment.

"She's alive."

"She's eating well. I guess she's fine."

At that moment,

I was truly happy.

I see. I can imagine how happy you were.

Then, I'm sorry to ask you this,

but what's your biggest regret?

If it's hard to say, you don't have to tell me.

Probably starting a business with his friend.

He fell for his friend and lost a lot of money.

It made him get hounded by creditors.

If it's hard to say, you can tell me later.

That I…

wasn't nice to my wife

and my son.

I was…

bad-tempered, stubborn,

and extremely stingy.

I supported my whole family including my parents, siblings, and relatives.

I paid their living expenses

and school expenses.

But I always told my wife to save electricity and conserve water.

I nagged her saying

she didn't appreciate money.

I see.

May I ask why you were like that?

I thought…

she was someone I could look down on.

I thought

it was okay to walk all over her.

To be honest,

I found it really hard

to work my butt off

to support my parents and siblings.

Sometimes, I hated it.

But I had to put up with it.

Everyone was relying on me, the eldest son.

So I pretended to be okay.

I vented all the stress and rage I got from outside

on my wife.

I thought it was okay to treat her that way.

I was

well aware that my wife loved me deeply.

So I thought

she was someone I could walk all over.

I had no idea…

I was constantly

giving her pain.

I really didn't know.

Did it go well?

Of course, it did.

What about you?

Me too.

Your eyes are red.

That must be because I sneezed hard.

How about we go somewhere and have sundae soup?

No.

I have plans.

Right, I have to go to the pork trotter place to work.

Then we shall part ways here, Ms. Jung.

Sure. Go ahead, Mr. Woo.

Goodbye, then.

So what if he realizes it now?

It's all over.

SOON-JUNG

Soon-jung.

My gosh. Welcome.

How have you been?

You have such a lovely place.

That's grand.

This is for you.

Gosh, thank you. It's beautiful.

You and your daughter have the same taste in flowers.

Chae-woon?

We're a lot alike.

Soon-jung, are you here to convince me?

That you and Jung-hoo aren't in a special relationship?

You caught on.

I'd like you to take a look at this.

My gosh.

This is… Gosh.

It's a diary I kept many years ago.

My goodness. You still have that diary?

This is so special.

You wrote diaries too?

But then again, you wanted to write novels.

So why do you want me to read it?

It's a bit embarrassing,

but it might help you

understand the situation back then.

I don't think I can let you read the whole thing. I'd be too embarrassed.

Read just this page.

My gosh. Am I allowed to read this?

It's fine.

My goodness.

My goodness.

"Today is such a sad day."

Today is such a sad day

because I've realized how Jung-hoo really feels.

NOVEMBER 24, 1983

I actually…

Actually,

I like Min-jae.

Are you surprised?

Min-jae and I always argue whenever we meet.

I try to be nice to her,

but it's strangely hard.

Jung-hoo likes Ms. Jung.

I didn't know.

I really didn't know.

He's the only comfort in my life,

and he likes another woman.

I feel so sad.

What should I do about this sadness?

My gosh.

Gosh. Soon-jung, I…

I had no idea.

Does that clear the misunderstanding?

Then why did he treat me like that?

Soon-jung, you must've been upset.

Yes, back then,

I was quite upset.

A young girl going through a crush.

But now, it's all a fond memory.

My goodness.

When I look at you from the side,

I can tell that you two still like each other.

My gosh.

No way. That's not true.

My goodness.

Drink your tea.

I will.

My gosh. This is so awkward.

Watch your step.

-Here. -Be careful.

-Lie down here. -Okay.

I'm sorry. You're tired, aren't you?

Thanks, Uncle.

No, it's fine.

But he must be really sick.

His whole body is like a burning log.

You had some medicine, so the fever will go soon.

You'll get better. Lie down and rest.

-Thank you. -Sure.

Don't mention it.

We're keeping him sitting up.

-Let's all go. Let's leave him. -Okay.

-Rest up. -Sleep now.

Get some rest.

Hey. Where are you going?

My gosh.

Don't go.

-Get back up on the bed. -Help me up.

-Are you okay? -Don't go.

-Don't go. -Oh, no.

-Stay here. -Lie down.

What should we do with you? Did you eat something?

No. I haven't eaten.

You haven't eaten yet?

I'll make you some porridge.

It feels cooler than before.

She must be so worried about me.

How cute.

Why is he laughing?

Did the fever turn him mad?

You're right. I'm weird right now.

Are you okay?

I'm not okay at all.

-Can you see? -My eyes are fine.

-Hwak-se. -What?

That was hard work, wasn't it? Thank you.

That was nothing at all. I'm strong, you know.

I liked that I got to come home with you.

I liked it too.

I guess Soon-jung went to Yeonhui-dong to work.

Yes.

Jjung, how about we make use of this chance and have a light kiss?

Hae-deun will come in soon.

Don't worry. I'll keep my eyes open like this.

Shall we, then?

Gosh.

What should we do now?

How do I get out of here?

Hang on.

Darn it. It won't work.

Let's just tell them.

Wait. Tell them what? Why?

Why not? What's the matter?

I mean…

Let's tell them now.

No, wait.

Can't we tell them once I get into the radio singing competition?

Come on.

No, who cares? Let's just tell them.

Wait.

I want at least one thing…

One thing to put Soon-jung at ease.

That's why.

Thank you. What…

Jjung!

Man-jung…

Why were you both in that room?

Soon-jung.

Yes?

We're…

Don't.

We're dating.

Well…

What…

What?

We're dating.

BN CONSTRUCTION

I'm sorry, Mr. Woo.

We decided to sign another subcontractor.

The deal should proceed without any problems.

The company you were going to sign with.

Is it WJH Architect and Engineering?

Yes, didn't you know?

I thought you wiggled your way in because that company is of a small size.

I feel bad for Mr. Woo. He worked so hard for this.

But what can I do? I just do as the high-ups say.

What do you mean the deal fell through? How?

It was as good as ours.

It was, but at the last minute,

the higher-ups went with another company.

You've got to be kidding me.

But the materials and supplies are already in storage.

What about the workers we already hired?

What will we do about the payments that are due?

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry.

We had no idea this would happen.

Yes, it's me.

I just heard the news myself.

-This is entirely unexpected. -Mr. Woo!

-Mr. Woo. -The deal didn't go through?

What about the overdue payment?

Sir, I'll make the payment no matter what.

How will you do that though?

I know things are tight for you too, but how will you pay us?

Sir, I'll do what I can to pay you all.

I'm truly sorry.

-What now? -We're sorry.

What am I going to do?

-We're sorry. -We're terribly sorry, sir.

Woo Jae-hui!

There you are, you punk.

-Get over here. -What are you doing?

-Where's my money? -You bastard!

-What are you doing? -What?

You bastard!

What are you doing?

Stop that!

Darn it!

Where's our money?

Hey, tear it all down.

Pay back the money!

All was managed with Park Pil-hong as the frontman.

I see.

Jae-hui will have a hard time for a while.

It serves him right for upsetting my princess.

Jae-hui will be able to handle the mess, right?

I was only going to give him a scare,

but his business partner took out a loan

from a loan shark without him knowing.

Is that so?

My goodness.

That actually complicates things.

KOALA, HOW DID THE DEAL GO? YOU HAVEN'T CALLED. WHERE ARE YOU?

Why hasn't Jae-hui called yet?

MANAGER YOO DO-HYUN

The person you have called is unavailable. You'll be directed to voicemail.

Jae-hui?

MOONG

NA-RO

Hello?

You did this, didn't you?

Right?

Tell me what happened!

Don't be mistaken.

I only called to tell you what was brought to my attention.

Jae-hui's deal fell through because of your father,

Park Pil-hong.

He took a bribe, stole the schematics,

and acted as a broker.

Why would he?

Why would Park Pil-hong ruin Jae-hui's business?

You know why.

Park Pil-hong does anything when money's involved.

He could sell his own kid out if he's given adequate pay.

I'll see if there's a way I can help.

As if you could help.

You people are the same.

Hang in there, Chae-woon.

Na-ro? Hwang Na-ro? Na-ro!

NA-RO

Jae-hui?

Jae-hui.

Jae-hui, are you all right?

Are you hurt?

What happened?

Who did this?

Chae-woon…

I'm all right.

I'm okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Can't you be honest with us?

Just say you're against us dating.

Say you want me to date another doctor instead.

As your sister, I'm allowed to say that.

-Auntie! -Man-jung, please.

Please help Jae-hui. I'm your blood too, right?

Please take pity on me.

Seo-a, please help me.

Ask the chairwoman to set this right.

What reason would she have to ruin your business?

-It wasn't me. -Then why would a company

she's affiliated with take the deal from us?

You must've requested it!

I'm sorry, Jae-hui.

This wouldn't have happened had you not met me.

It'll be all right. Jae-hui's parents are rich, right?

I'm ashamed to have you as a father.

I'd like to report someone.
